Terry Tillman lives on purpose. He is a Scout. In business, people talk about pushing the edge; in Terry's business, he just goes there. He's known for going the distance; that showed up in years of running marathons. And he likes to get a high altitude perspective on the issues and opportunities Life offers. He talks about this a lot in the professional and personal development seminars he designs and leads. And in the inspirational talks he gives. It makes sense that he's also a pilot.
When the Berlin wall came down, he went there the next day to photograph the graffiti and history, to talk to people, to find out what mattered to them, to touch the rubble that had been a prison. Then he brought photographs and their stories about hope and possibilities, about living life in freedom, back into his work. His international best-selling book and photo journalistic essay, "The Writings on the Wall", tells this story.
His friends know he is a scout and adventurer–Like when he was one of the first ten non-Russians to visit and work in Omsk, Siberia (a center of Soviet Union military manufacturing) in 74 years just as Communism was falling. They flew (snuck) in on Military cargo planes. Omsk was a closed city (meaning residents didn't leave and unauthorized people didn't enter). He was invited to conduct Leadership Seminars there for Military Generals and Industry bosses.
Every summer, he takes off his suit, turns off the electronic gear, and heads for the wilderness. There, the work and play of 22/7 Company continues with a band of journeyers, adventurers, and yes, other people who scout uncharted places, inside and out. Terry's the kind of guy who spends his time climbing two kinds of mountains…the big ones that live in places where the weather can change in a minute; the kind that demand reliable ropes and gear, and promise a wild rush when you get to the top. And, the other kind, the very ancient ones. These are the mountains you can't see, the ones that live inside your soul. In between treks, he teaches other people how to climb and how to know the majesty of the territory within.
The entrepreneurial Terry creates. He's made a lot of money, lost a lot of money, and always says its been an amazing ride no matter how the math came out or which side of that equation he's been on. He knows how to live in this world, and he knows how to get outside of this place.
At 15, it was manufacturing track hurdles, with internationally famous track coach Bill Bowerman, founder of Nike. Terry was always a top, "A", student, and curious to learn about life. He was President of the honor society, quarterback on the football team and class Vice-President.
Then, a degree in Economics and Finance from Stanford University. In the '60's, he was part of the times changing…one of the Grammy award winning New Christy Minstrels band (yep, he was their original banjo player). He still hums to himself when he thinks. A sequence of business ventures over the last 30 years included membership in the Million Dollar Real Estate Sales Club, a real estate development, construction and sales firm, ownership in TV stations, a satellite cable business, and a video production company.
He now calls himself a recovering businessman. In 1977 he turned in his Type A behavior in exchange for a life of service, Spiritual development, coaching, facilitating the growth of individuals and organizations and supporting people to what they say they want. He's very good at that.
Today, through his 22/7 company, he conducts seminars and speaks internationally for groups of 50 – 15,000 participants, produces, designs and facilitates leadership trainings for organizations and the general public, and coaches executives all over the world—99 countries so far. Over 250,000 people have shared experiences and partnered with Terry in experiential, transformational learning. Terry's mission is to support and mentor people in producing the results they want, discovering their value, and realizing their dreams.
Graduates of Terry's work often say, "I now know, from experience, that I can do anything!" He asks a lot of questions, like, "What would you be doing in your life if you were not afraid?" "If you looked back from 90 years old near the end of your life, is there anything you would regret or change?" and "Who are you and why are you here?" Clients get answers.
He holds a Master's Certification in a Neuro-Linguistic Programming, having been trained by John Grinder, one of the founders of NLP. He holds a private pilot's license, has been a white water rafting guide, a ski instructor, and a marathon runner. He's a member of the Transformational Leadership Council (from which came the movie "The Secret") and co-founder of the Association of Transformational Leaders SoCal. He has two beautiful grown daughters a brilliant granddaughter and a bright young son born in 2015. He has held offices with his local Rotary Club and is active in many community and church service projects.
We utilize experiential education and accelerated "cut to the chase" bottom-line methods, our training and workshops help participants to discover the fundamental principles, techniques and approaches that create powerful references and enduring results for themselves and their organizations and families.
People are the most valuable asset in any organization.
People are the most underutilized asset in most organizations.
Investing in people is a very high leverage activity which optimizes returns.
We are the creators of our results.
We have the ability to respond.
There is power in choice.
There are infinite choices available at all times.
Group/team solutions are superior to any one individual's in a complex and fast changing world.
The way I/we get more is by supporting others to get what they want.
We remember and utilize what we learn through experience.
actions are aligned with purpose, vision and dreams.
Where you look is where you go.
There are many "How to's" for every "What".
I can never have something until I let it go. Up until then it has me.
Letting go of positions, preconceptions and beliefs creates an openness and availability to creativity and freedom.
When we first discover who we are and come first from there, the doing and having follow naturally.
Be –> Do –> Have, rather than Have –> Do –> Be.
The Law of abundance is fulfilled in the cycle of giving and Receiving.
As you give you are given unto.
Effective leadership is grounded in Service.
The pauses are as important as the action.
Joy, peace, lightheartedness and ease are the result.
This is a key to healthy relationships (with self as well as others) and great communication.
This is the contagious energy that makes positive things happen.
He wins who endures to the end.
If this concept isn't obvious, you are a true candidate for our work.

Reviving the Ancient, or Stepping Out of its Shadow? The Journey of Modern Art in Egypt
A talk by Yasmine El Dorghamy.
Discussion moderated by Venetia Porter.
About the talk:
For most people, the words 'Egyptian art' immediately evoke images of tomb paintings, golden statues, and imposing monuments. For some, they conjure up examples from Coptic or Islamic art. Rarely, however, does mentioning 'Egyptian art' inspire any images from the twentieth century.
When the Egyptian School of Fine Arts opened its doors in 1908, enrollment rates were higher than anticipated. Its graduates and other local artists never had it easy. At home, they lived in a country fraught with political unrest, fighting for its independence, and looking at art almost purely as a means of defining its national identity. Abroad, they were either eclipsed by their distant ancestors or judged by Euro-centric standards and Orientalist stereotypes.
Forging an independent identity for Egyptian modern art has thus remained elusive. This talk reflects on the different paths that successive generations of artists have taken as they strove to define and redefine themselves and their art over the course of the past 100 years.
Yasmine El Dorghamy publishes RAWI – Egypt's Heritage Review, a bilingual (English/Arabic) annual periodical. The 8th edition, published in 2016, on Egyptian Modern Art has been widely acclaimed and is considered by many to be a reference on the subject, and has been included in several university curricula. El Dorghamy holds a master's degree in education policy from Stockholm University, manages a non-profit educational foundation, and teaches visual culture at the American University in Cairo.
Venetia Porter is the Assistant Curator, Islamic and Contemporary Middle East Department at the British Museum. She is responsible for the Museum's collection of Islamic art, in particular of the Arab World and Turkey, as well as developing the collection of the modern and contemporary art of the Middle East. She is a widely acclaimed author in the field.

Is Revive a Local Church?
Yes, however our model is probably different than most local churches. We prefer the term "Discipleship Community" because it carries less baggage and pre-conception than the term "Church" often does. We believe that a local church is described in the Bible as a community of people who follow Jesus, share Christian core beliefs and gather together regularly. They minister to one another and are equipped for their ministry by local leadership, who are called by God.
Will Revive have Sunday services?
No, our regular meetings take place in ReviveGroups, many of which will meet on Sundays. We will also have larger united events periodically such as Healing Nights, training workshops or Worship Nights.
What is a ReviveGroup and what should I expect?
ReviveGroups are gatherings of 15-30 people that meet in homes or community spaces. A typical group would include worship, prayer, biblical teaching, discussion, and ministry to one another according to our spiritual gifts, including prophecy and healing. A typical group lasts 2 hours and often has an opportunity to hang out and build relationships before or after.
How do I join the Revive Community?
+Pursuing the Revive Core Values.
How can I lead a ReviveGroup?
In order to lead a ReviveGroup you would need to be a member of Revive and participate in another group for a time. If you would like to lead a group in the future tell your ReviveGroup leader so they can discuss next steps with you.
Our Uptown and Downtown ReviveGroups have a kids teaching that happens onsite each week with two kids leaders. We also equip parents to train and disciple their own children in the home through teaching, scripture and reinforcement of the lessons learned on Sundays.
Over the past ten years Rhema and Steve have served in various local church leadership positions and roles from worship to administration to pastoring. They believe that Jesus is good news for people everyday; that our lives are meant to be lived in freedom, with purpose. They are passionate about church being more than just a Sunday event; they desire for everyday believers to be equipped to live in the reality of God's Kingdom as a way of life.
Steve and Rhema met in 2004 while attending Hillsong Bible College in Sydney, Australia. After completing school they moved to Southern California for several years. During that time Steve started a fashion agency and Rhema pursued further education in the Theology degree program through Alphacrusis College. In 2010 they both felt a distinct calling from God to relocate to New York City. Steve moved his company and later served as a worship pastor while Rhema served in a full-time pastoral role for several years. Over the last five years they've welcomed two daughters into their family, Sparrow Cruz (4.5) and Wylde Joy (1.5). In early 2016 they both felt God ask them to pioneer a new church movement, starting in New York. After being released by their prior pastors and elders, they began their journey of seeking God and planning in June of 2016.
Rhema and Steve are both Ordained Pastors through The River Network and are supported by an external board of diverse pastors and leaders that serve to provide oversight. Revive is a non-denominational church.

Evan Williams Single Barrel Bourbon Memories
I was living in Manhattan, but didn't know a thing about Manhattans. This was back in the late nineties, when I was in my late twenties. My drink of choice tended towards inexpensive wines that had been given a "best value" stamp of approval by whatever wine magazine was doing that type of thing back then. Or early craft beers like Sam Adams or Pete's Wicked Ale (remember that???). The closest to a classic cocktail I got was a few rounds of caipirinhas at the all-you-can-eat Brazilian rodizio down on West Broadway, strong and sugary mint alcohol. Actually, I did once try another classic-ish cocktail – I ordered a sloe gin fizz as my mandatory drink at a dark jazz bar down in the Village. It seemed like an appropriately artsy thing to do, but it looked and tasted like a Shirley Temple. I never ordered a sloe gin fizz again.
No, not the exact bottle I bought in 1998, but you can see the bottle hasn't changed much in 16 years
My liquor cabinet at the time consisted of a bottle of Absolut. That's it. But then I read a little blurb extolling the virtues of Evan Williams Single Barrel bourbon. I can't recall where I read it, maybe the Times, maybe a magazine, definitely not on the internet which was still subject to the confoundingly glacial pace of dial-up connections. The key thing that drew me to the Evan Williams was that the article said it was an amazing bargain – probably $17 or so at the time. Ahh, value. Important to me now, even more important to my younger self. Actually, $17 felt like a big splurge at the time, next to the $10 1.5 liters of bourbon all around the Evan Williams Single Barrel at the liquor store. But I made the purchase, then pretty much relegated the bottle to a dark cabinet somewhere in my apartment.
I guess you could say my whiskey enthusiasm has come a long way (as has the whiskey industry, and whiskey pricing, and whiskey fanaticism). But Evan Williams Single Barrel was my first seriously considered bourbon purchase, and it's held a soft spot in my heart ever since. It seems somewhat pedestrian today – a (roughly) ten year old single barrel bourbon – but Evan Williams Single Barrel was pretty rare when it came out with its first "vintage" in the mid 1990's. Heaven Hill likely had the competition in mind when they launched it. Over at the rival George T. Stagg Distillery, master distiller Elmer T. Lee had paved the way for a top-notch single barrel bourbon a decade before with Blanton's, then got his own brand later in the '80's. But Evan Williams came in at a much lower price point, with a unique vintage notion – all the barrels selected for a given release were put in barrel the same year many moons ago. The bottles got slopped with a barreled-on date and a bottled-on date to provide a bit of insight into what made each bottle unique. Even now, I wish putting the barreling and bottling dates on bottles were a more commonplace practice. And I'm thankful that Evan Williams keeps up the practice.
All along, Evan Williams Single Barrel has been about great bourbon value. The fact that each year's release is a little bit different (and the fact that there's variation from barrel to barrel within each year's release) keeps up the intrigue over time. Some vintages get a reputation for excellence, some get a bum rap. Heaven Hill tries to find a slightly different personality for each release, but they all tend to share a core house flavor profile that I find to be about as bourbon-y as bourbon can be. Not too hot, not too thin, plenty of rich brown sugar, just enough spice.
The 2004 vintage of Evan Williams Single Barrel is hitting stores now. I just got my first bottle (thank you Heaven Hill). In fact, it's labeled as coming from "barrel no. 1" of this release. I'm eager to give it a try, as I'm sure it will spark fond memories and help create some new ones as well. I'll share some tasting notes in a few weeks once I've had a chance to sit with this one a bit and reminisce. Now where did I put my caipirinha?

You draw a picture. We'll create your Gantt chart.
How does GamePlan help you?
GamePlan gives you a visual planning workspace. Planning is intuitive because you simply draw the project workflow. Visual planning eliminates mistakes, and everyone understands the project plan. GamePlan is a powerful, visual communication tool.
As you visually plan, GamePlan automatically creates a Gantt chart that shows the resource-leveled project schedule. GamePlan shows what is achievable, given your team's availability. This lets you communicate deliverable dates with confidence.
Tracking keeps your Gantt chart up to date. GamePlan shows you how any delay affects your project deliverables, and it helps you bring the project back on time. Make any change to your plan and the Gantt chart automatically updates to show the result.
GamePlan is a lifesaver. It's exactly what I needed, both for personal projects AND for business. The collaboration tools, Gantt chart, and personnel features are exactly what I've been scouring the web, looking for. No one does it like GamePlan, and I'm so grateful I found them! It's my secret weapon.
Why are you not famous? I don't understand why you are not all over the web!! This is the best scheduling program by far – incredible! This is what Gantt should look like in every program!!
Read my blog post 'Order or Chaos' detailing the 6 project management tools we tested.
Using GamePlan our team can quickly construct all the expected tasks, milestones and major meetings we foresee and use them to estimate the required resources and projected Project completion date. The use of GamePlan has greatly reduced our project planning timelines and is allowing us to focus more on our core business.
How is GamePlan different to other Gantt Chart software?
You plan your project by drawing your project workflow on the GamePlan Whiteboard. As you plan, the project schedule automatically updates and is displayed in a Gantt chart. Only GamePlan delivers true resource-leveled project scheduling through a visual Whiteboard user experience.
Beware that not all Gantt chart software creates a practical schedule. The Gantt chart schedule must be resource-leveled, which means that no one is double-booked. Otherwise the Gantt chart is misleading as the schedule cannot be achieved. GamePlan's Gantt chart always shows a resource-leveled, achievable schedule.
It's important to understand the difference between task management tools and project scheduling tools.
With task management tools you create tasks and assign task due dates. These tools show when tasks are due, but give no indication if the dates are achievable. When a delay occurs, these tools tell you that you're late, but they can't help you further.
True project scheduling tools look at task effort and team availability, and they calculate the entire project timeline. When a delay occurs, the project timeline is recalculated, showing you how the delay impacts the project.
Task management tools work well when a project is NOT time sensitive. However, if time is important, only scheduling tools show you what is achievable and keep you on track to meet the project deliverables.
No more sleepless nights wondering if you can deliver the project on time. Just check the project status, which is always up to date.
You are back in the driver's seat. You know that you just have to follow the plan and you will deliver the project successfully.
GamePlan lets you visually communicate with clients. They love the visual plan because they understand it.
You have a permanent record of the plan and the actuals. This shows you what went well and where you can improve next time.


Lauren and Christine's engagement photo session on Long Beach Boardwalk in Long Beach, New York, is adorable! I love how photographer Nicole Barr captured each bride-to-be's personality and what they have in common: their love of the water and surfing, outdoors, and their playful spirit. Isn't that pic of the women with their pup Bailey too cute? The photography session in Gentle Brew coffee shop was spot on too, especially the coffee shot of one cup of black coffee and one swirled latte. To me, it embodies marriage, when two people symbolically become one, but still retain their individuality. Enjoy the photos, and be sure to read Lauren's essay below on how Christine popped the question with a romantic scavenger hunt below!
Christine proposed in July of 2013, setting up a scavenger hunt along side our closest family and friends. I was in utter shock she pulled off such a beautiful, detailed proposal without me having a clue. I am a natural planner, working as a corporate event planner in New York. Christine is a critical care nurse. We have been together for more than eight years now, and she is my rock.
The morning of our engagement started with a card on our nightstand, including a lyric to the Tristan Prettyman song "All I Want Is You" and a quick note to say she loves me. My best friend Nicole was waiting for me in the living room. There was then a second note with another lyric in the song, which sent me off to get a manicure. The notes followed each step of the way, to a nail salon, and then back to her mom's house where she picked out a couple outfits for me, all preparing me for her grand proposal.
I was dropped back off at our house where Christine stood waiting with a sign and the final lyric of the song "Will You Be My Bride." We both immediately began to cry and I said yes without her having to utter a word! I called my mom to give her the good news and little did I know my mom and sister were waiting for me inside the house (they live in another state)! One surprise after another, 5 minutes later, a knock at the door from my 4-year-old godchild holding the cutest "Congratulations" sign. The day continued with lunch at a local beach side restaurant with friends and family.
It took almost our entire engagement to have photos taken but better late than never! It was important to us we have a few photos with our fur baby Bailey. We found an amazing photographer and decided to bring her along with us to our wedding in Mexico.

The global immunotherapy drugs market was valued at approximately USD 138.4 billion in 2018 and is expected to generate around USD 330.4 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of around 13.24 percent between 2019 and 2025. Immunotherapy, also referred to as biological therapy, uses the body's natural defense system to fight cancer cells and other infections. Drugs used in immunotherapy either suppress or enhance the body's immune system. Immunotherapy drugs generate an immune response and activate the production of antibodies. Immunotherapy offers lesser side effects over traditional therapies, such as chemotherapy, surgery, radiation therapy etc., as it uses the body's natural defense mechanism. Immunotherapy seems to be a promising treatment option for complex disorders, such as cancer and autoimmune diseases.
The prevalence of cancer is growing worldwide and it was the second leading cause of death in the year 2018. As per the World Health Organization (WHO) 2018 estimates, there were about 18.1 million new cancer cases and 9.6 million global deaths caused by cancer. The incidence of lifestyle-related disorders is rapidly increasing, which, in turn, is likely to drive the demand for immunotherapy drugs market in the future. The increasing preference for targeted therapy with lesser side-effects over traditional therapy is anticipated to further fuel the immunotherapy drugs market in the future. Additionally, the emergence of new biosimilars, rapid drug approvals, and increased demand for monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are projected to boost the immunotherapy drugs market growth over the estimated timeframe. Other factors likely to contribute toward the immunotherapy drugs market growth are rising geriatric population base, increasing health awareness, increased disposable income and healthcare spending, and favorable reimbursement policies.
The global immunotherapy drugs market is segmented based on drug type, therapeutic application, and end-user. By drug type, the market is segmented into adult vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, checkpoint inhibitors, interleukins, interferon alpha and beta, and others. Preventive vaccines and therapeutic vaccines comprise the adult vaccines segment. Monoclonal antibodies drug type segment held the largest share of the global immunotherapy drug market in 2017, owing to the preference for targeted therapy with lesser side effects. By therapeutic application, this global market is segmented into autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, cancer, infectious diseases, and others. Cancer segment is further divided into the solid tumor and malignant. The cancer therapeutic application segment held the largest share of global immunotherapy drugs market, owing to increasing cancer prevalence globally. Hospitals, clinics, and others form the end-user segment of the global immunotherapy drugs market. Hospitals dominated the immunotherapy drugs market in 2017 and are expected to lead in the future as well.
North America, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa, Europe, and Latin America form the regional segment of the global immunotherapy drugs market. North America dominated the global immunotherapy drugs market in 2018 with a revenue share of about 40 percent. This can be attributed to the presence of key players, increasing preference for targeted immunotherapy over other therapies, favorable reimbursement policies, and developed healthcare infrastructure. North America is likely to maintain its top position. Europe is the second largest regional market for immunotherapy drugs in 2018. The Asia Pacific region is estimated to register the highest CAGR, owing to increasing health awareness, growing healthcare spending, and rising disposable income. The Middle Eastern and African region is likely to experience noticeable growth in the years ahead. Latin America is projected to exhibit a moderate rate of growth for immunotherapy drugs market.

Latest Cemex results show decline in sales
By Becca Wilkins17 October 2008
Cemex's net sales in the third quarter of 2008 totalled US$ 5.8 billion, a -5% decline compared to the same period last year, a company statement has revealed.
The company also reported that EBITDA decreased by -4% in Q3 of 2008 to US$ 1.3 billion versus the same period of 2007, mainly due to the exclusion of the company's Venezuelan operations at the beginning of August this year.
The company statement said, "Lower sales in the quarter were mainly the result of lower volumes which were partially mitigated by better supply-demand dynamics in most of our markets. The infrastructure sector was the main driver of demand in most of our markets."
Free cash flow after maintenance capital expenditures for the quarter was US$ 957 million down -1% from US$ 964 million in the same quarter of 2007. While operating income in the third quarter decreased by -13% to US$ 818 million compared to US$ 940 million in the same period last year.
Commenting on the results Hector Medina, executive vice president of planning and finance, said, "We are living in a time of extraordinary volatility in the financial markets in a challenging operating environment in several of the countries in which we operate. During the quarter, we had slightly better-than-expected EBITDA generation and our diversified portfolio has partially compensated for the downturn in the US, Spain, and the UK. Going forward, we remain focused on strengthening our financial flexibility."

The AirBnB where we are staying has a LEBO art piece on the mantle, and it's a painting of the actual house where we are staying! Must be a custom commission. I'm completely enamored.
In addition to that amazing LEBO piece, this AirBnB definitely has one of the greatest collections of southern vernacular art I've ever seen. It's like an art gallery in here, and I absolutely love it.


This follows months of work by a Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) Commission of Past Presidents into the issue of build quality, and what practical steps can be taken to achieve delivery of quality construction and development projects.
The Commission contemplated what the CIOB could do to promote a culture of quality in construction, focusing on potential solutions. One of the outcomes is the creation of the CIOB's Construction Quality Management course.
Chair of the Commission, CIOB Past President Paul Nash, said: "Last year the CIOB established a Commission to look into the issue of quality in our industry following a series of high profile failures.
"We urgently needed to understand what was preventing or promoting the delivery of quality at all stages of the construction process so that we could act to bring about the change that was so obviously needed.
"Our research highlighted that there was a need to raise standards across the industry. But more than this we needed to change the culture of our industry; we needed people to take pride in the buildings and infrastructure that they were creating.
Adrian Montague, Head of the CIOB Academy, added: "Poor quality is costing the industry annually more than the combined profits of companies in the industry. Construction quality management can deliver customer satisfaction and value. Setting and meeting quality objectives requires a sound knowledge of processes, legislation and compliance – the core of our new course.
"We want to see a "get it right first time" approach embedded in the industry, which should prevent these unnecessary costs and improve customer retention. Quality management is as important to a company's efficiency and reputation as meeting time and cost targets.
Those attending the two-day course will gain an understanding of widely-used quality management systems, and will be given the tools to initiate quality management on their own projects and, ultimately, work towards achieving quality on every programme.
Apply quality management best practice in construction in terms of both processes and attitudes.
The first course dates are 14 and 15 November 2018. For more information visit the CIOB Academy website.

Former Conservative Party leader William Hague has said that Boris Johnson's biggest test won't be over whether or not he secures a Brexit deal - but what happens afterwards.
Lord Hague, a Tory grandee, said that Johnson has turned in a strong performance in convincing the EU's Ursula von der Leyen he is "crazy enough to cause a lot of damage" by leaving without a deal "rather than settle for a poor outcome".
But he said while no-deal would be "disastrous for Britain and much of Europe", regardless of how the talks conclude the greatest challenge for Britain under its new-found freedom will be "whether we know what to do with it".
Writing in the Daily Telegraph, Lord Hague said many Britons were harbouring misconceptions about what Brexit will mean.
"Some might have thought the future of Britain would lie in lower taxes. The pandemic has put an end to any ideas of that," he wrote.
A massive reduction in business deregulation – "the paranoid fear of some European governments" – was also not going to happen while Britain was "already busy setting out more demanding environmental targets than our competitors", he said.
And while others will have seen free trade as the "guiding principle of our future", the trade deals the government is busy lining up "will be broadly similar to those of many other countries".

Lord Hague said Brexit would be an anti-climax if Britain "muddled along" with occasional small tax rises and regulation amendments and a few free trade deals "while all the time fighting a rearguard action to stop Scottish nationalists pulling the country to pieces".
The former Tory leader called for a "new national purpose" to be set out by the government, fuelled by ensuring "the brightest people from home and abroad want to live and work here".
"2021 has to be the start of a new national purpose, articulated from the top," he said.
"That purpose has to draw on our greatest strengths – our culture, education and openness – but use them to foster world-leading positions in key industries such as life sciences and artificial intelligence."
Lord Hague said the government needed to place a strong new emphasis on science and mathematics, easier immigration procedures for highly qualified professionals, and more spending on research, development and innovation.

Keiferia inconspicuella is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Mary Murtfeldt in 1883. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from the south-eastern and mid-western United States, north to New Jersey and Iowa and west to Nebraska and Texas.

The length of the forewings is 5-5.5 mm.

The larvae feed on Solanum carolinense and Solanum melongena. They mine the leaves of their host plant. Full-grown larvae are green and reach a length of 7–8 mm.

Politico: Trump Downplays N. Korea Missile Launches
WASHINGTON —U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday that he did not not consider North Korea's recent launch of short-range ballistic missiles "a breach of trust."
In an interview with Politico, Trump downplayed the missile tests by North Korea, calling them "very standard stuff."
"They're short-range and I don't consider that a breach of trust at all. And, you know, at some point I may. But at this point, no," Trump said.
North Korea fired two short-range missiles on Thursday, its second such test in less than a week.
The Pentagon said the launches consisted of ballistic missiles that flew in excess of 300 km (185 miles) and landed in the ocean.
Trump said he might eventually lose faith in his friendly relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, which he has previously described as "very strong."
"I mean, it's possible that at some point I will, but right now, not at all," Trump said.
On Thursday, Trump appeared to hold the door open for more talks with North Korea.
"The relationship continues ... I know they want to negotiate, they're talking about negotiating. But I don't think they're ready to negotiate," he told reporters.

So far we have looked at some data sources, such as Windows Event Logs, Performance Logs and Internet Information Services (IIS) logs. Another data course is Custom Logs, which allow us to collect events from log files on both Windows and Linux computers other than the default ones. Once collected, we can parse each record in the log into individual fields using Custom Fields.
Additionally, the log file must not allow circular updates where the file is overwritten with new entries.
Log Analytics currently treats the date/time collected from a log using a timestamp delimiter as UTC. This will soon be changed to use the time zone on the agent.
Since Exchange generates multiple log files, sometimes more than one per day, we need to use a wildcard. We start by selecting Windows, type "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\Logs\MessageTracking\*.log" as the path for our logs, and click the + plus button.
It may take up to one hour for the initial data from a new custom log to appear in Log Analytics. Once it starts collecting data from the custom log, its records will be available with a Log Search.
However, if we are not familiar to the format of Message Tracking Logs, it is hard to determine who the sender is, who the recipients are, etc.
What we can do to improve this is parse this information into multiple properties that can be analyzed and searched separately by defining Custom Fields. To do this, we need to perform a search on our custom logs which we will cover in detail in the next part of this article series. So, we will cover custom fields now and searching logs later so we can finish exploring custom logs.
This means we cannot accurately use the custom field Event_ID_CF to perform searches as it will only contain the EventIDs listed above.
Due to the nature of these logs, we will have to perform these manual mappings for a lot of fields, and yet it will not be 100% useful... However, this will not be the case with all types of logs, and Custom Logs and Custom Fields work great in other cases!
Now that we have all fields properly parsed, we can easily produce graphs to monitor and estimate the increase in database size or number of users for example!
The log search feature of Log Analytics is such that I could spend a few articles just writing about all the great things it can do. It is that powerful! But let's try to keep it short and sweet.
But let's go back a bit. The first part of a search query (everything before any | vertical pipe) is a filter, it determines what subset of data to pull out from the OMS data store. The most basic filters we can use are keywords, such as "error", "timeout", or a computer name. These types of simple queries generally return diverse shapes of data within the same result set. This is because Log Analytics has different types of data in the system.
These filters are not really object types/classes. Type is just a tag, or a property, or a string/name/category, that is attached to a piece of data. Some documents in the system are tagged as Type:ConfigurationAlert and some are tagged as Type:Perf, or Type:Event, and so on. Each search result, document, record, or entry displays all the raw properties and their values for each of those pieces of data, and we can use those field names to specify in the filter when we want to retrieve only the records where the field has that given value.
We can use either a colon (:) or an equal sign (=) after the field name and before the value. This means that Type:Event and Type=Event are the same, we can choose the style we prefer.
Now we finally have the information we want! We can expand and collapse each graph, look at the data in a list, table or graph format, and so on.
We can use this to quickly come back to our search and to place this graph in our dashboard. But first let us look at some more search examples.
On the left we can see that 23,000 are warning events and another 23,000 information.
Once more, this is just the very basic of the Log Analytics Search feature. Trust me when I say we have not even scratched the surface! But this gives us a good start to search and analyze all the information being collected by Log Analytics.
In this part of this article series, we saw how to collect data from other sources such as Exchange Message Tracking Logs, and looked at searching and analyzing the data we have been collecting so far.
In the next and final part, we will look at dashboards, alerts and solutions.


Senator FIFIELD (Victoria—Manager of Government Business in the Senate, Minister for Communications, Minister for the Arts and Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for Digital Government) (12:08): Let me clarify the arrangement where there would be two terminals. It would not just be people on the debit card who would need to split their bill. Everyone would be required to split their bill, regardless of whether or not they are on the debit card.

GALA gains 117% in February as P2E crypto gaming goes mainstream
GALA gains 117% so far in February as the ecosystem continues to attract new users.
The play-to-earn (P2E) gaming sector of the cryptocurrency ecosystem has been one of the sectors most resilient to the volatility and price declines in the past couple of months as gamers are jumping on the ability to earn income while playing tokenized videogames.
One project that has seen its token price climb rapidly in the first week of February is Gala (GALA), a protocol focused on utilizing blockchain technology to give players control of the games they play and the in-game items they acquire.
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that the price of GALA climbed 117% after hitting a low of $0.177 on Feb. 2 to hit a daily high of $0.384 on Feb. 7.

Three reasons for the rapid recovery in GALA price are the upcoming launch of several new popular games on the protocol, a series of new partnerships that have helped expand the GALA ecosystem and the growth of the GALA userbase, which continues to hit new record highs.
Launch of new games
The $30 billion P2E gaming sector is growing rapidly, and protocols that wish to keep pace and remain relevant need to launch new games and maintain an active user base.
It is in this light that GALA has been adding support for new projects in the ecosystem such as the upcoming launch of Spidertanks and Legends Reborn.

— Gala Games (@GoGalaGames) January 31, 2022
Aside from the gameplay, the newer generation of games launching on Gala has tapped into some of the growing trends in the P2E space like land and venue sales that provide users with a way to earn passive income, helping to grow a larger pool of community members who are invested in the protocol long term.
Partnerships with other protocols
A second factor helping to bolster the momentum for GALA has been the addition of new partnerships that are helping to expand the reach of its ecosystem.
This includes a recently announced collaboration with the 888innercircle community on Twitter, which has a community of more than 205,000 members who are fans of digital art and collectibles.
Gala has also recently established a working relationship with Betwixt, a mental health-focused gaming application that was selected to receive $1 million in funding from the Gala Games Conservatorship fund to help incorporate self-care into the gaming community.

Growing userbase
As a result of the expansion of the Gala ecosystem and the addition of ways to earn a yield through gameplay or other methods such as running a Gala node, the community has seen a steady increase in the number of users over time, especially since the beginning of December 2021.

According to data from Dune Analytics, the total number of GALA users stood at 122,230 on Feb. 7, a figure that has tripled since Nov. 7, 2021, from 40,380 users.
Meanwhile, VORTECS™ data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro began to detect a bullish outlook for GALA on Jan. 27, prior to the recent price rise.
The VORTECS™ Score, exclusive to Cointelegraph, is an algorithmic comparison of historical and current market conditions derived from a combination of data points including market sentiment, trading volume, recent price movements and Twitter activity.

Hermann Eugen Müller (* 21. Mai 1877 in Esslingen am Neckar; † 24. Februar 1967 in Neuenhaus, Grafschaft Bentheim) war ein deutscher Bergbau- und Vermessungsingenieur. Er war Wegbereiter der staatlichen Braunkohlen- und Energiewirtschaft in Sachsen. Die Stationen seines Berufslebens führten ihn von der problemreichen Grube "Margaretha" in Espenhain (1903–1907) über ein erfolgreich saniertes Braunkohlenwerk in der Niederlausitz (1907–1916) bis an die Spitze der staatlichen Energieversorgung  Sachsens (1916–1933 und 1945–1947).

Leben und Wirken

Ausbildung und erste berufliche Tätigkeit

Hermann Eugen Müller war der Sohn des Gerberei- und Lederwarenfabrikbesitzers Georg Müller (1842–1909) und seiner Frau Lina, geborene Keppler (1843–1919). Er besuchte Gymnasien in Esslingen (das heutige Georgii-Gymnasium) und Cannstatt. Eine Schulunterbrechung nutzte er zur Aneignung handwerklicher Fähigkeiten. Von 1897 bis 1901 studierte er an der Bergakademie Freiberg. Während seines Studiums wurde er Mitglied der Freiberger Burschenschaft Glückauf. Müller war ein Ausnahmestudent und nach Ablegung des Vorexamens  bereits Assistent bei den Professoren für Bergbaukunde, Lagerstättenlehre, Mechanik und Maschinenlehre. Seine Diplom-Prüfungen als Vermessungsingenieur und Markscheider (1900) sowie als Bergingenieur (1901) legte er mit der Note "Ausgezeichnet" ab.

Nach einer Tätigkeit als Direktionsassistent wurde er 1903 Leiter der Braunkohlen-Untertagegrube "Margaretha" in Espenhain südlich von Leipzig. Obwohl er hier durch die Einführung der von ihm entwickelten Methode des natürlichen Spülversatzes die permanente Unfallgefahr durch Schwimmsandeinbrüche beheben konnte, wurde die Grube nicht rentabel, und er sah keine Zukunft für den Braunkohleabbau unter Tage. Er unterbreitete bereits 1904 dem sächsischen Finanzministerium die weitblickende Vorstellung einer staatlichen Energieversorgung auf Grundlage der umfangreichen Braunkohlenvorkommen südlich von Leipzig, deren vollständige Nutzung nur durch Tagebaue möglich wäre. Sein Vorschlag wurde zunächst als undurchführbar abgelehnt.

1907 wechselte Müller zum Braunkohlenwerk "Mariannensglück" in Kausche südlich von Cottbus, also in Preußen. Hier wurde neben dem Betrieb von Untertagegruben auch seit 1901 Braunkohle im Tagebaubetrieb gewonnen. Unter seiner Leitung kam der defizitäre Betrieb innerhalb eines Jahres in die Gewinnzone. Mit der Elektrifizierung des Gesamtbetriebes und dem Ersteinsatz eines elektrisch betriebenen Eimerketten- und eines Schrämkettenbaggers wurde er in Fachkreisen weit über die preußische Niederlausitz hinaus bekannt.

Leitung der Energieversorgung in Sachsen
Müller war der sächsischen Regierung als Berater für die Realisierung seines alten Vorschlags verbunden geblieben, aus dem in der Zwischenzeit ein gesetzgeberisch, finanziell und mit umfangreichen Grubenfeldankäufen abgesichertes Projekt entstanden war. Zu dessen Realisierung holte ihn die sächsische Regierung 1916 unter dem Druck des Kriegsministeriums nach Dresden, um die Leitung der Arbeiten für eine gesamtstaatliche Energieversorgung auf Braunkohlenbasis zu übernehmen. Müller wurde bald klar, dass ein rein beamtenrechtlich geführtes staatliches Kohlen- und Elektrizitätsunternehmen nicht zum Erfolg führen könnte. Deshalb ließ er sich mit Sonderrechten bei dessen Leitung ausstatten. Es gelang dem Unternehmen im Verlauf von sieben Jahren, wesentliche Grundlagen einer landesweiten gemeinnützigen Elektrizitätsversorgung zu schaffen.

Durch die Inflation und die Einführung der Rentenmark begünstigt, wurde 1923 die Gründung einer Aktiengesellschaft möglich, der Aktiengesellschaft Sächsische Werke (ASW), deren Generaldirektor Müller wurde. Der Verwaltungssitz der ASW befand sich im ehemaligen Hotel Grand Union gegenüber dem Dresdner Hauptbahnhof. Der gesamte Aktienbesitz blieb beim Staat. Im Rahmen des Dawes-Plans konnte Müller 1924 zwei Anleihen von insgesamt 33 Mio. US-Dollar bei der National City Bank erwirken, so dass für weitere Investitionen keine Inanspruchnahme staatlicher Mittel nötig wurde. Diese Kontakte führten 1928 zu einer zweimonatigen Einladung in die USA, bei der die ASW-Vertreter den technologischen Stand der USA studierten und auf der International Conference on Bituminous Coal in Pittsburgh die sächsischen Erfolge vorstellten.

Anfang der 1930er-Jahre war die Staatsaufgabe einer landesweiten Elektrizitätsversorgung Sachsens insbesondere durch die Braunkohlen- und Großkraftwerke "Hirschfelde" und "Böhlen" weitestgehend erreicht. An der Standortentwicklung Böhlen war Müller besonders beteiligt. Er legte damit den Grundstein für die Braunkohlen-Großindustrie südlich von Leipzig. Nach der nationalsozialistischen Machtübernahme startete im Mai 1933 eine Diffamierungskampagne gegen den Vorstand der ASW, in deren Verlauf Direktoren zum Verhör ins KZ Hohnstein verbracht wurden und Müller vorübergehend unter Hausarrest gestellt und schließlich entlassen wurde.

Tätigkeit nach 1933
Müller hatte sich 1928 in Grund, etwa 20 km westlich von Dresden, einen Bauernhof gekauft, um in seiner knappen Freizeit, von anderen unterstützt, seinem Hobby, der Zucht von Karakulschafen, nachzugehen. Nach seiner zwangsweisen Entlassung 1933 wurde daraus seine Hauptbeschäftigung.

1936 ging Müller in die Türkei und wirkte hier als oberster Berater der Regierung in Bergwerksangelegenheiten. Bei wiederholten Erkundungsreisen durch das gesamte Land entdeckte er das größte Braunkohlenvorkommen der Türkei bei Seyitömer/Kütahya in West- sowie ein bedeutendes Eisenerzvorkommen bei Divriği in Zentralanatolien. Die Bedeutung dieser Feldforschungen zusammen mit türkischen Lagerstättenkundlern bestand darin, für die Energieerzeugung des Landes im militärischen Konfliktfall geschützter zu sein als auf der Basis der Steinkohlenvorkommen am Schwarzen Meer. Enge dienstliche und persönliche Verbindungen ergaben sich  zum Direktor des Instituts für Lagerstättenforschung und Exploration (MTA) Nadir Hakki Önen Bey (1900–1980), der als Freiberger Beststudent über hervorragende Deutschkenntnisse verfügte. Seine Einschätzung von Müllers Leistungen für sein Gastland fasste Nadir Önen in einem Schreiben 1968 an die Familie in einer ungewöhnlichen Wertschätzung  zusammen: "Überhaupt wird die Türkei kaum wieder einen Wirtschaftsberater finden, welcher die Fragen der Energie- und Wärmeversorgung aller Zweige der Wirtschaft-Industrie und Landwirtschaft so beherrscht, wie es Herr Müller konnte."

1942 kehrte er nach Dresden zurück und erlebte 1945 die Zerstörung der Stadt und den Niedergang seiner Schafzucht in Grund samt dem Verkauf seines Hofes. Nach dem Krieg erklärte er sich bereit, als ASW-Hauptdirektor die dringendsten Arbeiten zum Wiederaufbau der Elektrizitätsversorgung in Sachsen zu organisieren. Da die ASW-Zentrale zerstört war, richtete Müller vorübergehend Büros in seinem Dresdner Privathaus ein. Die Betriebe der Kohlen- und Elektroindustrie wurden aber schon am 1. August 1946 in sowjetische Aktiengesellschaften (SAG) überführt.

Mit 71 Jahren ging Hermann Eugen Müller 1948 in den Ruhestand und zog in ein kleineres in Grund erworbenes Haus. Eine Ehrung für seine Verdienste um Sachsen blieb ihm in der DDR verwehrt. Sechsundachtzigjährig übersiedelte er 1963 mit seiner Frau in die Nähe seines Sohnes nach Neuenhaus im Emsland und arbeitete an seinen Lebenserinnerungen. Hier starb er wenige Monate vor seinem 90. Geburtstag.

Familie
1903 heiratete Hermann Eugen Müller Elly, geborene Braun (1883–1911), die nach achtjähriger Ehe verstarb. Seine zweite Ehefrau war ab 1920 Martha, geborene Kuhlmann (1889–1976). Aus dieser Ehe stammen der Sohn Georg (* 1921), der ebenfalls Bergingenieur wurde, und die Tochter Elsbeth (* 1924).

Posthume Würdigung

Eine späte Würdigung der Lebensleistung von Hermann Eugen Müller erfolgte im März 2016 mit der Einweihung einer Stele für den Industriekultur-Erlebnispfad Böhlen-Lippendorf im sächsischen Böhlen, die sein Lebenswerk als "Gründervater" des Industriegebietes dokumentiert.

Live Review: Ball Park Music, Saturday April 5 @ The Metro
Words by Scenewave Australia - Published on April 11, 2014
Words by Billie-Jean Bullard
Last Saturday I was lucky enough to find myself amongst the smell of pre-teen sweat and sticky floors at Ball Park Music's Puddinghead 2014 Tour at the Metro theatre on George Street in Sydney. The five-piece indie/rock band first met in 2008 at university where Ball Park Music was born.
A quaint little theatre, much smaller than I had first expected, although big enough to carry the awesome sounds of Holy Holy, Papa vs. Pretty and Ball Park Music, and still have a personalised feel to it.
When I first walked into the Metro I was greeted by the duo Holy Holy, whose rich vocals melted like honey. The laid back atmosphere of Holy Holy's set was relaxing and the audience seemed to reciprocate with the crowd swaying to and fro, while going crazy at guitar solos. Papa vs. Pretty had some technical issues while setting up their microphones, but never the less acted like pros and energised the audience with Tom's quirky dance moves, their up tempo rock songs and real-to-life lyrics. Half way through their set Tom jumped up on the drum kit while singing, shocking the crowd with his brazen moves and nonchalant attitude to the whole situation.
Then the act everyone came for, Ball Park Music entered the stage, and without saying a word shrills and whistles from every corner of the room made it impossible to hear anything else.
Kicking off the show with "Struggle Street", a song from their newly released album Puddinghead, the whole audience was singing along, hanging on every word that was sung, as if Sam was revealing life's secrets.
'Holy crap, you guys can make some fucking noise!', Sam's uncensored and raw nature is adored by the sweaty teens who were clawing for the band's attention, although I couldn't say the same for their guardians standing in the over 18's section with their cold beers.
Singing hits like "Surrender" from their second album Museum, and "iFly" from their first album Happiness and Surrounding Suburbs, which the band dedicated to Sam's sister who is 'here tonight and sober', rather than their last failed attempt at dedicating a song to her, in which Sam describes her as being too drunk and being kicked out of the venue before they could dedicate it to her.
The sweet sound of honey that is Ball Park Music, who are just as good, if even better live. I was transfixed the whole night on both Sam's quirky dance moves which were a concoction of both Michael Jackson/ John Travolta from Grease, and this mysterious gong hanging at the back of the stage behind the drum kit.
'Thank you Sydney for being so so so so fucking fantastic!'
Singing a mix of 16 songs from each of their albums, and before finishing their set with "Coming Down" from Museum, and even though "Coming Down" was one of my favourite songs of mine, Ball Park Music still hadn't used their gong and honestly it was starting to bug me.
After "Coming Down" they told everyone to 'have a great night' and left the stage.
Although those of us who frequent gigs know that they're not over until the house lights go on.
They were still off.
The crowd was screaming 'encore' as expected, and slowly but surely after a couple of minutes, just enough time to let the audience sweat, Ball Park Music came back on stage with an announcement – 'Did you see our gong?', (thank goodness I thought, i'm not actually crazy!) 'Did you think we would bring it all the way to fucking Sydney and not hit it?!'
They announced that they were to perform a cover song, they didn't say what it was, Sam only said that 'I'll let you work it out'.
'One, two, three, four, Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide. No escape from reality…' And I have to say that it is probably the best cover of Bohemian Rhapsody that I have ever heard in my entire life. You should seriously check it out:
Nearing the end of the song, which mind you is about 6 minutes long, Sam yells to the crowd 'Sydney want to see this fucking gong hit?' who in return obviously scream in delight at the finale to this tension I was feeling all night, just from the sight of this gong.
That in mind, Ball Park Music put on a, to quote Sam, 'fucking' fantastic show that displayed their vast array of mystical sounds, with Sam's creamy vocals, smooth harmonies and eclectic instruments.
The energy and amazing music brought to the stage by Holy Holy, Papa vs. Pretty and Ball Park Music created a memorable night for all. Even those dad's in the over 18's section attached to their beers all night.

Today, the representatives of Icelandic Group ehf. (ehf. = private limited company) turned over ownership of the brands Icelandic and Icelandic Seafood to Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir, as a representative of the Icelandic nation. Finance Minister Bjarni Benediktsson and Foreign Affairs Minister Gudlaugur Thór Thórðarson were also present at the ceremony in the Culture House, Hverfisgata (Reykjavík). The above brands are under the ownership of Icelandic Trademark Holding ehf., which manages their registration, protection and utilisation, and ensures that they are used in relation to the marketing and selling of Icelandic products and services. The objective is that these brands will be used in the best possible way towards serving Icelandic business on a broad basis into the future.
Icelandic Trademark Holding (ITH), which manages the Icelandic brands and business with them, is virtually the only asset of Icelandic Group ehf. By turning over every share in ITH to the Icelandic State Treasury, actual operation of Icelandic Group ehf is suspended. The present idea is for Icelandic firms to have the possibility of cooperating with ITH for the purpose of promoting under the Icelandic brand those products and services which can further support the image of high-quality Icelandic products and services, with sustainability in mind. The plan is that ITH operation will be strengthened even further in the cooperation between the Icelandic Government and Icelandic busineses in all fields. Presently, ITH has licensing agreements with the Icelandic company Margildi ehf., the Canadian company High Liner Foods, and Solo Seafood, which owns the Spanish company Ibérica. In the near future, Margildi will begin promoting a new product under the Icelandic brand in the USA.
The parent company of Icelandic Group ehf., Iceland Enterprise Investment Fund ehf. (EIF), recently concluded its operations. During its operating years, EIF invested in nine companies and thereby gained total profits of about ISK 47 billion for EIF shareholders, amounting to an annual internal rate of return of 22.6%.
In his address as EIF board chair, Thorkell Sigurlaugsson noted the success of fund operations and expressed his hope that the brands Icelandic and Icelandic Seafood would be able to grow and prosper, for the good of the nation as a whole.
Sara Lind Thrúdardóttir, Managing Director of ITH, mentioned in her speech at the Culture House that great opportunities were available to Icelandic business through collaborating on marketing and promotion work overseas under the Icelandic banner, since Iceland's image was connected to purity and exceptional beauty.

Home»Birds A-Z»Letter H»Hawaiian Nene Goose
The Hawaiian goose (Branta sandvicensis), or nene, is the state bird of Hawaii and is among the most isolated, sedentary and threatened of all waterfowl. It is the sixth most endangered waterfowl species worldwide. The native Hawaiian name, Nene, is derived from their distinctive "nay-nay" vocalization. It is a species endemic to the Hawaiian Islands - it formerly bred on all or most of the Hawaiian Islands, but currently is restricted to Hawaii, Kauai and Maui. It is a medium-sized goose spending most of its time on the ground, although some individuals fly daily between nesting and feeding areas. Unlike other waterfowl, they mate on land. Hawaiian geese have a black face and crown and cream-colored cheeks. The neck is pale grayish streaked with black and has a narrow dark ring at the base. The body plumage and folded wings are gray-brown with transverse barring. The bill, legs and feet are black and the iris is dark brown. Both sexes are similar in appearance, but males typically are larger. Unlike most other geese, Nene are non-migratory, generally only island wide movement is known to occur. Nene have also been called "semi terrestrial," in that the toe webbing is reduced. The reduction of webbing between their toes enables them to walk more easily on the rugged lava flows.
