El director de percepción es la persona responsable de crear, planear, construir, modificar y/o diseñar un plan estratégico de estimulación pública para un personaje o institución, basado en conocimiento científico que es nutrido por distintas áreas del conocimiento humano. Los directores de percepción deben ser especialistas en la rama de la imagología.

Un plan estratégico de estimulación (plan maestro de imagen pública) cuenta con una metodología bien definida (Ingeniería en imagen pública) que determinará las acciones que estimularán a una audiencia con el objetivo de generar coherencia entre lo que el emisor verdaderamente es de esencia (psicología de la imagen pública, auto-percepción, etc.) y lo que se percibe públicamente.

El plan estratégico de estimulación se alimenta de una investigación de percepción que da indicadores como la identificación de una audiencia, una necesidad y un panorama de la situación actual a nivel percepción. La investigación de percepción generalmente es realizada por empresas que son especialistas en investigación de mercados.

Es muy común que este cargo pueda ser confundido con el cargo de director de relaciones públicas:
La imagología se define como el saber científico necesario para crear, desarrollar y mantener una imagen pública al ser la percepción compartida con el objetivo de provocar una respuesta colectiva unificada. Esto quiere decir que muchos percibirán lo mismo y, con base en lo que percibieron, decidirán actuar en la misma dirección.
Relaciones públicas es considerada una rama de la comunicación que se encarga de crear, modificar y/o mantener la imagen positiva ya sea de una empresa, organización, entre público o privado, o persona; y fortalecer los vínculos con todos sus públicos (Internos, externos o indirectos), utilizando diferentes estrategias, técnicas e instrumentos, su misión es generar un vínculo entre la organización, la comunicación y los públicos relacionados (stakeholder).

Anuvong (Anurutha, auch Anu oder Anou, voller Thronname Somdet Paramanadha Parama Bupati Somdet Brhat Pen Chao Singhadhamuraja, Somdet Brhat Parama Bupati Brhat Maha Kashatriya Khatiya Adipati Jayasethha Jatikasuriya Varman, Angga Penh Brhat Yulumanaya Maha Negara Chandrapuri Sri Sadhana Kanayudha Visudhirattana Rajadhanapuri Rama Lan Chang Krum Klao; * 1767 in Vientiane; † 26. Januar 1829 in Bangkok) war zwischen 1805 und 1828 König des laotischen Königreiches Vientiane. Er war der letzte König von Vientiane. Sein Herrschaftsgebiet wurde von den Siamesen okkupiert, nachdem Anuvong 1827 vergeblich gegen die siamesische Oberherrschaft rebelliert und den Isan zu erobern versucht hatte.

Leben

Anuvong wurde 1767 in Vientiane geboren, dem Jahr der völligen Zerstörung der siamesischen Hauptstadt Ayutthaya durch die Birmanen; er war der vierte Sohn von König Bunsan und wurde im Königspalast ausgebildet. 1779 kam er, wie viele andere Mitglieder der Familie des Königs, als Geisel nach Bangkok und blieb dort bis 1795. Er diente loyal in der siamesischen Armee und zeichnete sich bei den Kämpfen gegen Ava aus. Am 2. Februar 1795 ernannte ihn der siamesische König Rama I. zum Upayuvaraj ("zweiter König") von Vientiane.

Als sein älterer Bruder Inthavong am 7. Februar 1805 starb, folgte Anuvong ihm in der Thronfolge nach. 1813 ließ Anuvong ein buddhistisches Konzil zusammentreten, das die Tripitaka revidieren und bereinigen sollte. 1821 wurde Anuvongs Sohn Yo Herrscher im benachbarten Königreich Champasak. Dies war ein Zugeständnis Siams an Anuvong, der eine wichtige Rolle bei der Niederschlagung der aufständischen kha (indigene austroasiatische Ethnien) in Champassak und Ubon Ratchathani gespielt hatte.

Folgenschwer war seine Fehleinschätzung, dass die in Birma siegreichen Briten nun auch gegen Bangkok vorgehen würden. Er marschierte im Februar 1827 in den Nordosten von Siam ein, wurde zurückgeschlagen und musste seine Hauptstadt aufgeben. Über Mahaxay und Kung Kaeo ging er nach Vinh in Annam, wo ihm die Vietnamesen Zuflucht gewährten. Am 1. August 1828 kehrte er unter dem Schutz vietnamesischer Truppen nach Vientiane zurück, vernichtete die siamesische Garnison und versuchte, nach Bangkok zu marschieren. Die siamesische Armee hatte jedoch kurz vorher Waffen aus den USA erhalten, die den Streitkräften bei der Gegenwehr halfen. Anuvong ließ seine Hauptstadt Vientiane räumen, nachdem sein General Chao Raja Varman am 19. Oktober von den Siamesen bei Khorat geschlagen worden war.

Am 19. Dezember wurde Anuvong bei Mueang Phong gefangen genommen, abgesetzt und triumphal nach Bangkok überstellt. Dort wurde er auf vielerlei Arten gefoltert: man nahm ihm mit glühendem Eisen das Augenlicht und stellte ihn öffentlich in einem Käfig aus. Er erhielt weder Wasser noch Brot. Am 26. Januar 1829 starb er zusammen mit seiner Frau, Königin Kamphong, und seinen drei Söhnen. Der Missionar Jacob Tomlin legte über diese Zeit einen Augenzeugenbericht vor. Er schreibt:

Anuvong wird heute von laotischen Nationalisten als Idol verehrt, weil er den Aufstand gegen das übermächtige Siam (heute Thailand) gewagt hatte. Seine Geschichte wird ins Heldenhafte stilisiert und ist Gegenstand großer Emotionen. Er wird als Vater der laotischen Nation verehrt. Dies ist jedoch eine Verkennung der seinerzeitigen politischen Situation, die den Gedanken an eine "Nation Laos" noch nicht zuließ. Das Reich Vientiane, wie auch Luang Phrabang und vorher Champasak, war ein von seinen mächtigeren Nachbarn abhängiges Gebiet. Die Revolte Anuvongs ist damit ein Aufbäumen innerhalb des südostasiatischen Mandala-Systems, das erst viel später in Nationen übergehen sollte.

Nachkommen
Anuvong hatte zahlreiche Nachkommen, insgesamt 27 Söhne und 7 Töchter.

Our NJOY Recharge review takes a look at the flagship rechargeable cigalike from NJOY – does it manage to capture the benefits of the legendary King disposable, but in a better format for long-term vapers?
Very easy to use: the two pieces push together simply.
Automatic operation: inhale as you would a cigarette.
Four flavors to choose from: Bold Tobacco, Gold Tobacco, Menthol and Pomegranate.
Nicotine levels ranging from 18 to 45 mg/ml.
Pack has space for two e-cigs, three cartridges and a USB charger.
Nice tobacco flavors and a solid fruit option.
Each flavor only available in one nicotine level.
Menthol flavor is lacking in punch.
The NJOY Recharge is like a rechargeable version of the NJOY King. This is great when it comes to flavor, nicotine hit, the cigarette-like appearance and the ease of use, but the battery life is a big limitation. If you buy, get a kit with two or four batteries.
NJOY has been a big part of the e-cigarette industry for a long time. Back when cigalikes were the only options on the market, NJOY was one of the biggest companies around, and while many of their competitors have been bought up by tobacco companies, they remain as independent as ever. As well as moving towards eGo-style devices with their Convenience Vaping System, NJOY has improved its cigalike offerings too, with the NJOY Recharge kit aiming to offer a simple, beginner-friendly vaping experience. Our NJOY Recharge review takes a look at the kit and what it has to offer to the just-switching smoker.
Starter Kit – $7.99 – 2 batteries, 2 cartomizers and USB charger.
Economy Kit – $14.99 – 2 batteries, 7 cartomizers, USB charger and wall adapter.
Standard Kit – $29.99 – 3 batteries, 12 cartomizers, USB charger, wall adapter and soft carry case.
Premium Kit – $49.99 – 4 batteries, 24 cartomizers, 2 USB chargers, 2 wall adapters and 2 soft carry cases.
Super Kit – $59.99 – 4 batteries, 34 cartomizers, 2 USB chargers, 2 wall adapters and 2 soft carry cases.
The NJOY Recharge kit comes in a thin plastic container reminiscent of a cigarette pack, with a flip-open top that reveals your two devices and three spots for spare cartomizers inside. Below the cartomizer spots, there's also a slide-out cover that reveals a USB charger.
The e-cigs themselves have a unique design, at least for cigalike devices. Their size is in line with the size of a cigarette, which makes holding the devices a very natural experience for just-switching smokers, and the two-piece design keeps everything about as simple as it can be. The aesthetics of the devices moves away from the look of cigarettes (unlike, for example, the NJOY King), with a gray background decorated with a geometric pattern. The NJOY logo is printed in white towards the connection-point to the cartomizer, and the tips of the cartomizers bear a color indicative of the flavor.
The operation of the devices is very straightforward: instead of screwing into place like on most cigalikes, the cartomizers simply push on and pull off, with no threading or anything else to get in the way. The connections are made through a cylindrical contact in the center of the cartomizer and tucked away inside the center of the battery section. When you connect, they snap together audibly so you know everything is attached properly.
The tips have the classic LED light to show the device is activated when you inhale. The plastic tip is grey, with two triangles touching at the tips and forming an "x" in the center, and four small airflow slots around the outside. The LED lights up white as you inhale, and slowly fades away as you finish your draw.
Overall, the NJOY Recharge doesn't do anything too special from a design perspective, but manages to balance a cigarette-like size with a distinct visual appearance quite well.
Unlike most e-cig companies on the market, NJOY don't offer a free choice of nicotine level for each cartridge flavor with the NJOY Recharge. The nicotine level is fixed depending on your chosen flavor: Gold Tobacco comes in 2.4% (24 mg/ml) of nicotine, Bold Tobacco comes in 4.5% (45 mg/ml) nicotine, Menthol in 3% (30 mg/ml) nicotine and Pomegranate in 1.8% (18 mg/ml) nicotine.
If you've been shopping around for a while, you may notice that these nicotine levels are pretty high – 1.8% / 18 mg/ml is towards the upper end of the range of nicotine levels for most brands, but the lowest you can get in the NJOY Recharge. The reason for this is assumedly that cigalikes aren't as effective at getting you the nicotine you're looking for as more advanced devices, so higher nicotine levels are needed to provide a satisfying vape.
Bold cartridges have the most nicotine, but if you're looking to move away from cigarettes with something that maintains the same form factor, this is exactly what you need. The nicotine hit is pretty robust, but it's not overwhelmingly so, and you can still enjoy vaping. The situation is much like with the NJOY King, which has the same nicotine levels for its tobacco and menthol offerings, and is similarly satisfying. The only downside is that in order to reduce your nicotine level, you'll have to also switch flavors, which may not suit everyone.
The high nicotine levels on the NJOY Recharge invite comparison with the JUUL by Pax. This has a similarly easy-to-use design, with the cartridges (called "JUULpods") simply dropping into place in the end of the battery section, without the need to be screwed in. The JUUL takes the same approach to nicotine levels, offering a massive 50 mg/ml in the pods. Coupled with the decision to use nicotine salts (which are used in ordinary cigarettes), this makes the JUUL one of the most satisfying cigalikes on the market. It's well worth considering, whether you're new to vaping or you switched a while ago, and you can find out more in our Juul review.
The vapor production from the NJOY Recharge isn't bad at all for a cigalike device. With a few priming puffs on the device – where you take short puffs to kick-start the vaporization process – the vapor production is easily in line with how much smoke you'd get from a puff on a cigarette. It falls short of some of the bigger, more complicated devices on the market – and way short of some of the more "cloud chasing" friendly setups – but if you're looking for something to help you kick cigarettes and replace the sensory experience, it's more than adequate. The throat hit depends on the nicotine content, but is robust regardless of flavor.
The flavors are actually pretty good, on the whole. Ordinarily, cigalike devices really suffer when it comes to flavor, with lackluster juices produced by the company who made the device. For NJOY, the flavors are pretty good, on the whole. The Gold Tobacco has a fairly realistic edge to it, getting some of the flavor of the real deal across without making it authentic enough to taste a little nasty. It has an almost sweet undercurrent that really helps the flavor go down easily. The Bold has many of the same plus-points in terms of flavor, but the nicotine level makes it a little irritating to the nose if you've already moved away from cigarettes (although for smokers, the sensation will likely be a good thing).
The Menthol cartridge flavor appears to have been built on a base of the Gold Tobacco, with a minty edge coming through on top. This is a nice offering, overall, but if you're looking for a punchy menthol it doesn't quite deliver. The mintiness is quite subtle, and even though you do pick it up, there are better options on the market for ex-menthol smokers. Finally, the Pomegranate is a brilliant offering for anybody willing to step away from the tobacco and menthol flavors. It has a robust fruitiness, with a light sweetness and a fragrant, almost floral note to the flavor. As a longer-term vaper, this is my favorite flavor of the bunch from NJOY, although you do occasionally pick up a less pleasant, earthy note to the taste.
Overall, the NJOY Recharge does a good job in both the flavor and vapor departments. Not all of the cartomizers do as well as you may hope in the flavor department, but the tobaccos are well-captured and the pomegranate is great. For vapor, it's more than enough to keep most just-switching smokers satisfied.
The battery on the NJOY Recharge is – like many elements of the device – comparable to NJOY's King disposables. The good thing about the batteries is that they maintain a cigarette-like size, and are nice and lightweight too. The down-side is that the 110 mAh lifespan doesn't have much potential to get you through a day of use. For comparison, the standard-length battery from V2 Cigs has a 250 mAh capacity, meaning they offer over twice as much battery life as NJOY's Recharge. Even that is low for a whole day of vaping, so NJOY's Recharge has a big clue in the name, you'll need to recharge it quite a bit.
That said, you can minimize these issues easily because the majority of kits from NJOY come with two or more batteries. Depending on how much you vape, either the Standard Kit (with three batteries) or the Premium Kit (which comes with four) will give you enough battery life to get through the day. Some may be able to manage with the two batteries provided by the cheapest kits, but most will need at least the three batteries offered by the Standard Kit. For heavier smokers that are likely to need to vape a lot more often, either the Premium or Super four-battery kits are ideal, although you can get by with less if you recharge regularly.
Just like the cartomizers, you connect the USB charger to the batteries by simply pushing them together until they click, and you can either plug this into a USB port or use the wall adapter included on most kits. Charging is, mercifully, a fairly short process. The batteries take about one to one and a half hours to charge from completely dead to ready-to-vape. Plus, the small charger that slots into the included carrying case means that you can keep the charger with you whenever you take your NJOY Recharge out of the house, but it must be said that you'll probably be charging your device more often than you might have wanted to.
Although the devices are a little lacking in battery life, the NJOY Recharge is well-manufactured. The cylindrical contacts on the interior of the devices have yet to give me any issues, and the snap-on mechanism works just as you want it to. The batteries also stand up to accidental dropping fairly well – don't push it, but you can afford to be a little careless from time to time without destroying the unit.
The NJOY Recharge can be most succinctly described as a rechargeable version of the NJOY King. This is a great thing when it comes to vapor production, flavor and the overall nicotine hit you get from the device, and the snap-on mechanism for connections makes the devices very beginner-friendly. The downside – again, much like the downside for the NJOY King – comes in the form of poor battery life. The cigarette-like form factor is great, but the cost in terms of battery life is too severe, in my view. So for a just-switching smoker, if you're willing to invest a little more in getting a more well-stocked kit and you're happy with regularly charging your batteries, the NJOY Recharge can be a great device. But you can find a better balance of performance and battery life elsewhere.
I've been vaping for a while but decided to pick up one of these njoy recharge cigs to try out. They worked really well. I had tried njoy years ago and their product was horrible but they've apparently made some major improvements. The recharge lasted a good amount, the flavors tasted authentic with a thick and bold throat hit. The only downside is they don't offer lower nicotine level but the levels they offer are perfect for smokers who are trying to quit.
After trying out many of the gas station e-cig brands including Blu, MarkTen and Vuse (which are all disappointing), I tried out the new Njoy rechargeable kit and I really enjoy using it. The tobacco and menthol flavors are realistic and taste great. Njoy is by far my favorite choice.
Too much money for an e-cig that only has about 7 good hits out it.
Bought 5 e-cig pack for $30. With that $30 I could have bought 3 packs of real cigarettes and been way ahead. Too short life and too much money!

Looking at the headlines of the past few years – Bernie Madoff, Enron, the subprime mortgage scandal and a host of other examples – we get the feeling that ethical practices play no role in that world dedicated solely to the goal of maximizing profits.
How remarkable then to discover that this past spring the Harvard Business School sponsored a group of Deans and Professors from around the globe at a symposium that HBS has run for several years, at which the focus of this year's event was "values." What they wanted to tackle was the sticky issue of ethics, of the responsibility business leaders have to "do the right thing."
And this was not an isolated event.
Two years ago I received an amazing invitation. A group known as the Gathering of Titans, comprised of 100 CEOs of major corporations in America, annually get together at a retreat – in this case at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology – to discuss issues relevant to their business practices and to hear from prominent experts in various aspects of corporate management. As part of their program, they asked if I could come and lecture as well.
Stunned, I asked what role I could possibly play. I have no business expertise. My rabbinic background hardly qualifies me to teach these titans of industry how to improve their corporate bottom line.
"Somehow along the way we've come to confuse our self-worth with our net worth."
"We understand that," they countered. "That's not why we want you to address us. We all know how to make money. But somehow along the way we've come to confuse our self-worth with our net worth. More and more of us have come to recognize that in the process of making ourselves very wealthy we've impoverished ourselves spiritually. We've cut corners, we compromised our values and we realize we're in great danger of losing our souls.
"We don't want you to preach to us – we just want you to remind us of the proper relationship between business and ethics. We want to know what a religious leader such as yourself believes is the necessary balance between our obligations to our families and to society, between the capitalistic striving for more and the moral requirement for honesty and integrity."
The very first thing I did was to check if the Messiah had already arrived. It was very hard for me to believe that with all of the bad press business leaders were getting there was in fact a consciousness of conscience, an awareness by many that capitalism and moral principles not only could but must coexist.
I attended that retreat, met with famous captains of industry and learned that "man does not live by bread alone" is not a biblical cliché but a profound insight into human nature.
Bread alone is unsatisfying. We need to feel a sense of purpose. We have to know that our lives have meaning. And so I shared with the Gathering of Titans a concept they were very familiar with in their corporate world and asked them to integrate it into their personal lives as well.
Imagine if we had similar clarity about personal goals and how we plan to achieve them. Imagine if we took our personal mission statement as seriously as a business manifesto. Imagine if we took the time to decide why God put us here on earth and then went ahead and fulfilled our life's purpose. Imagine if we made our life's mantra not only "don't be evil" but, in more positive fashion, "strive to be good."
Imagine if we took our personal mission statement as seriously as a business manifesto.
What I impressed upon the corporate titans was that surely making a success of our lives is as important as making a success of our businesses. And the two of them are inextricably intertwined. We can't be guided by ethics at home and the law of the jungle at work. One of the two must dominate and come to define our character.
The CEOs were intrigued when I told them that in Hebrew the word avodah means both work and prayer. The connection between them is profound. It is our work and the way we go about it that represents our most powerful relationship to God. Our daily business ethics are the deeds that speak far louder than the words we utter in synagogue.
Almost all of these corporate leaders wanted to see their names immortalized. They were prepared to donate large sums of money to have buildings named after them. Yet they seemed not to realize that what should matter far more than preserving the memory of their names was insuring the value of their reputations.
As a mini project, I asked them to make a list of the five people they most admired, heroic figures from history or present day. We then spent some time analyzing what it was about these men and women that defined their greatness. It quickly became clear that character rather than wealth was the key to the kind of successful life that warrants emulation. When the Titans took the time to consider what really impressed them about others they suddenly realized they lost sight of those goals in their own lives as they went about pursuing more and more material acquisitions.
The insight I shared with them from Ethics of the Fathers, to "Know before whom you are standing and before whom you are destined to give a final accounting," seemed to make a profound impression.
That's why I am very much in favor of a new innovation begun just last year for Harvard Business School graduates in their MBA program. One of the students, Maxwell F. Anderson, had an idea. There should be an MBA oath, in some respects analogous to the Hippocratic Oath that's so famous in medicine. And it should focus on ethics. Perhaps it could help rehabilitate our current notion of business management and elevate it into more of a true profession, in the classic sense, like law and medicine.
With the encouragement of two of his professors and some fellow students, he began to formulate a pledge and to promulgate the idea. He reported that he would have been delighted if a hundred of his classmates signed the pledge before graduation. In fact, more than four times that many did.
And if Harvard MBAs get it, and corporate titans understand it, we certainly ought to focus our attention on the issue of business ethics as one of the most relevant concerns of anyone interested in tikkun olam – perfecting the world.
When we talk about the importance of business ethics as a barometer of spirituality, we need to remind ourselves of the remarkable passage in the Talmud that tells us that after we leave this earth to face our divine judgment, there are many things we will be queried about as the heavenly court reviews our lives. Yet the very first question posed will be: "Were your business dealings conducted honestly?"
And no one will be able to justify his misdeeds by claiming "It was only business!"
"There's no such thing as business ethics."
John Maxwell, a prolific writer and leader, tells the story that he was asked by a publisher to write a book on business ethics. He replied that he can't do that. "There's no such thing as business ethics," he said. "There's ethics." He went on to explain that people are either ethical or they're not. A person cannot be a scoundrel at home and principled in business. He went on to use that sentence as the title of a book. I have read (and own) several of his books, though I have not read that one.
I respect your efforts, but 'Titans' will always be driven by greed.
They call themselves Titans? That would be the second red flag for this group. An oath won't keep them from doing harm. If they are MBA's and business giants, it should be already clear that getting there sidestepped ethics. Get ahead at whatever cost is what their oath has always been. Most of these men are hedonistic, and narcisstic. ~~~~~~~ What those business leaders want to know, Rabbi, is how to get it all..... to keep the wealth, and to be seen as ethical men that do good things similar to how Bill Gates is promoting himself and his organization. Those men want loopholes in nasty business dealings that they can explain away, according to G-d. They want an oath similar to 'first...... do no harm.' Well, that certainly didn't work with our physicians did it? A business oath for most attorneys is hippocritical. There are barely any ethics in either profession. When these men begin by restoring the Earth and distributing that wealth for the poor, maybe we can believe they are serious. Any business, government, profession, society, or religion that has not protected their women, children, and their poor has no ethics. In this 21st Century, we must add to that, the protection of the Earth. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And Yet I have hope that somehow the 'Titans' of business in the next decade can follow the words.....First, do no harm. And I hope your words and your mission statement continue to impress to these men to do better. Your example was wonderful. Thank you Rabbi Blech, ... as I step down from my soapbox.
but what does G-d say?
Rabbi Berel Wein tells in his commentary on Pirkei Avos a first hand incident with his mentor & predecessor as the OU Kashrus Supervisor - Rabbi Alexander Rosenberg. A holocust survivor came to him about short cutting the kashrus approval process to get his product quickly on the market. Rabbi Rosenberg had respect for holocust survivors.The man offered Rabbi Rosenberg 5% of the profits if he would agree. Rabbi Rosenberg was quiet. The man upped the offer & yet Rabbi Rosenberg still sat quiet with hs eyes closed. The man upped the offer again - thinking Rabbi Rosenberg just wanted more of a cut before he would agree. Finally, Rabbi Rosenberg opened his eyes and looked at the man and said Ober Vus Sugt Gut. -- but what does G-d say?
Would you share that oath with the rest of us?
Wonderful article Rabbi! And it could apply just as well to our politicians. It is interesting how these so called Titans would agree about living life a certain way. I bet that they know right from wrong. I bet that they know what it is to live a good life not only in their family, community but also in the corporate world. But, there is a difference between knowing and doing. Obviously a lot of them do not 'do". Why? I suggest that it is the nature of the beast and they cannot. They must keep feeding the fires because the present corporate world only knows one thing: give. If the CEO does not deliver then the Board will get someone else who will. Thus the CEO might do things which might not be in accordance with his or her moral principles. The present day CEO has a number of masters. The Board is one and Wall Street is another. (Of course we have the shareholders.) He or she is at the mercy of both every quarter. There is no such thing as zero percent growth. It must always be positive. In such a climate something has to go. The investment community has ruined American business. That is what has to change. It is that business climate. When a corporation takes orders from the investment community at the expense of its own good then we should know that something is seriously wrong. I think we need something more than a MBA pledge. We need laws. But, that means we need honest politicians.
Our nation has three legs to stand on which encompass consumers, businesses, and governments, and each of them are connected by ethics. Ethical behaviors are required at all points in a society, and ethics are the light in the unethical dark world.
With today's big business and politics, while many may have a good, honest work ethic, it sadly wouldn't qualify one for a political position or somewhere up in the business hierarchy (most of the time). But, one thing to note is that no worker for a private or public service has led to the economic collapse we face today. Societies are judged based upon how the poor and those who work hard for a living are treated.

"Warm Your Corn" Ready-Popped Gourmet Popcorn you can Warm from Popcorn Indiana - Frugal Mom Eh!
As a child I always looked forward to "treat" nights where we would get a small cup of pop and my dad would make up a big bowl of air popped popcorn complete with salt and butter for us to share. It was a once a month type of event in our household which is made it that much more special.
As an adult, popcorn is still one of my favourite evening snacks. There is just nothing better than getting cozy on the couch with my family, a blanket, a movie and fresh, hot popcorn!
Unfortunately I no longer live with my parents, and I'm not so great with the popcorn machine or even microwave popcorn. (Why does it always burn?) Thankfully, Popcorn, Indiana recently sent me a bag of Warm Your Corn: Original Movie Theatre Popcorn to try out and man is my life changed for the better!
The magic is in the bag!Simply make a tear in the bag where indicated, and place the ready-popped gourmet popcorn in the microwave to warm. In 50 seconds you will have piping hot, crunchy, fresh theatre-style popcorn at home.
First, I just have to say it; I loved that my popcorn didn't burn. I have to admit that I was nervous about that. I don't have the best relationship with my microwave so I was quite pleased. The popcorn does come popped and ready to eat – and it does taste quite good straight from the bag. However, heating it up brings the popcorn to a whole other level. It literally took me back to my childhood and the smell and flavour of that freshly popped popcorn my dad would make us.
Warm your corn is still made from non-GMO corn, without added preservatives, colourings or artificial flavours just like Popcorn, Indiana's other great popcorn varieties. Speaking of which… you need to try the Chocolate Peanut Butter Drizzlecorn or the Dark Fudge Chocolate Chip Drizzlecorn. Amazing and seriously addictive!
Popcorn, Indiana prides itself on artisanal popcorn craftsmanship. First, the popcorn is hand-crafted in kettles and then given the VIP flavour treatment. Flavours range from savoury to spicy to sweet, and are devised by "popcorn chefs" with a wholehearted approach to creating unique and mouth-watering flavour combinations without artificial flavours or colours.
For those looking for a lighter snacking option, Popcorn, Indiana also offers FIT. FIT popcorn features the same amazing taste and quality you are used to from Popcorn, Indiana but is only 40 calories or less and just 2g of fat per cup. It's ideal for those interested in smarter snacking with flavours like Sea Salt, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Parmesan & Herb and Onion Dijon have been approved by "The Biggest Loser" as snacks that can be part of a healthy lifestyle.
Popcorn, Indiana can be purchased at a local retailer near you!
Ooo I never thought to heat this up! Sounds delicious!
They stopped this option. The bag would catch on fire now.. So sad because it was very good warm.


When cut from their life source, flowers become both free and trapped, suspended in a new transformative state. The longevity of a cut flower depends on the transmission of nutrients to their new form and becomes vital for their survival. Similarly, an idea that leaves the mind is informed and kept alive by its surrounding space and context. Stripped from its source an idea grows into a subject, and a language of what thinking can look like begins to take shape.
For his first exhibition with the gallery, Zin Taylor presents a series of new sculptural works: vases, lamps, fabric screens, carved knives and eyeballs create sculptural propositions throughout the gallery that chart a course of metamorphosis from thought in to form. The exhibition Cut Flowers explores the nascent yet delicate characteristics of how an idea comes into being and what that arrival suggests.
Here, Cut Flowers acts as a portal word, where two terms combine to create a subject and context for deliberation. Each work begins as an illustration of an idea that is now made physical and materially present within the space; the gallery acts as a void arena where forms utilize their language to communicate.
Zin Taylor is based in Paris, France. He is known for his installations that often incorporate performance, drawing, sculpture, printmaking and video. Taylor's work includes narration culled from popular culture, storytelling, news stories, and his own research. Recent solo exhibitions include A Dove on the Beach: a piece of cloth to relax upon is void to stage your thoughts at l'antenne culturelle du frac île-de-france at le plateau, Creative Writing at Westfalischer Kunstverein, and Five Units of Haze presented by Oakville Galleries. This year, a monograph of his work will be co-published through Southern Alberta Art Gallery and Mousse Publishing.

Brabant aspires to a leading position in global HTSM
Thanks to Philips in the last century, Brabant already has a strong base, but is the current platform in this sector enough to permanently establish the province as a leader in HTSM?
Available stories in sector HTSM:
Download quotes for free (17) Send all quotes to me by email (free of charge)
Brabant continues to strengthen its position as a flagship location for the Dutch and European High Tech Systems and Materials (HTSM) sector. To achieve this, the province targets cooperation between government, industry and research organisations at national and regional level. However, continuing this success story is by no means self-evident; much will depend on the ability of stakeholders in the region to fight for their place in the face of increasingly intense global competition, an increasing requirement for flexibility and customisation in production and a global shortage of high tech skills.
About seven years ago, the Dutch government 'officially' recognised the HTSM sector as a Top Sector that comprises 15 focal areas, ranging from advanced instrumentation and photonics to nanotechnology and semiconductor equipment. But even before this formal recognition of the sector at government level - a move designed to encourage the availability of funds for research, development and expanding production capacity - the high-tech sector was extremely well represented in North Brabant. The strength of the infrastructure that Philips and other innovators built early in the last century has substantially contributed to creating the technology-driven ecosystem of today, which includes multinationals such as ASML, FEI (Thermo Fisher Scientific), Signify, NXP, Vanderlande and a large number of innovative small and medium-sized businesses and start-ups that operate as part of the supply chain.
Cooperation remains essential for a sector with a global footprint and which is influenced by international competitive pressure. "The sector faces a number of global factors, including increasing technical complexity, pressure to maintain the level of investment in research and development, and a global scarcity of suitable skills," says John Blankendaal, Director of Brainport Industries.
"We are fully aware that we have to work together to be competitive."
Blankendaal explains that the main motivation for suppliers to the HTSM sector, including many SMEs, was to work together to survive at the time when Brainport Industries was set up. "We started with seven companies and now represent 107 companies of all sizes. We are fully aware that we have to cooperate in order to remain competitive."
Willem Endhoven, director of HighTechNL, the national sector association, feels that high-tech companies in Brabant have adopted a healthy approach within the region. "What strikes me most is the typical no-nonsense practicality that you see in Brabant: let's sit down together, drink coffee and see what we have in common. This is a practice-based way of thinking that aims to achieve faster and better progress through collaboration. In the high tech industry, everything is so capital-intensive and knowledge-dependent that jointly identifying the basic principles first helps everybody establish their own niche in that complex ecosystem."
In the context of implementing Top Sector Policy at provincial level, the Provincial Authority of North Brabant has embraced a strategy that is designed to counteract some of the weaknesses that it has identified within the regional high tech ecosystem. These include reducing the region's dependence on a few large local players, finding ways of optimising knowledge and capacity and increasing the extent to which the region's wide-ranging knowledge and expertise can be put to good use in order to generate value and increase prosperity.
"Jointly identifying the basic principles first helps everybody establish their own niche within a complex ecosystem."
The North-Brabant Development Agency (BOM) understands that the competitiveness of Brabant's HTSM sector is rooted in cost-effective production. In its long-term strategic vision, BOM writes the following: "In order to maintain its status as "Europe's heart of smart solutions", the region must continue to focus on satisfying increasing market demand for customised solutions, shorter delivery times and higher quality". The degree of flexibility, the fast turnaround times and 24-hour production capability that are required for this mean that "the link between R&D and production, and the way in which the value chain is organised, are becoming increasingly important. A strong supply chain with healthy collaboration between suppliers and customers is essential for keeping companies in Brabant competitive."
In its 2017-2020 Implementation Programme, the Provincial Authority of North Brabant has announced that it has targeted a minimum investment of €340 million in HTSM during this period, including a contribution of €17.5 million from its own resources. The Brainport Industries Campus, which organises and perfects cooperation between entrepreneurship, research and development and education by bringing all those activities together under one roof, plays a significant role in achieving the aspirations targeted by the Province's investment programmes.
"We ask companies which problems they would like to solve with high tech and then use students to help them innovate."
The Fontys HTSM Expertise Centre was founded in 2013 for the purpose of applying the knowledge of research and education institutes, based on the needs of suppliers and original equipment manufacturers, i.e. the manufacturing industry. It is an outstanding example of the partnership-based approach that has been adopted to stimulate innovation in the high tech sector in the region. Kees Adriaanse, the Centre's programme manager, explains how it works: "We ask companies which problems they would like to solve with high tech and then use students to help them innovate. This process delivers new knowledge for both companies and Fontys itself."
Every year, the centre sets up collaborations with about forty small and medium-sized enterprises and about ten of the large manufacturing companies. Adriaanse feels that the role of Fontys is to engage in applied research that builds on the fundamental research performed by universities in order to bridge the gap between the theory and practical usability with commercial benefits.
Statistics published by BOM indicate that the HTSM sector in Brabant is both large and thriving : approximately 14,000 companies and 112,000 employees are directly involved in the sector. BOM and other regional stakeholders encourage continuous innovation in production processes and products to ensure that the HTSM sector remains a prime-mover in maintaining Brabant's position as one of the most competitive industrial clusters in the world.

We in the United States live in an era of superheated politics and a superheated news cycle where media attention flits from issue to issue, outrage to outrage. The president's remarks on immigration from African countries and Haiti have put the spotlight squarely on him. The attitudes underlying his remarks deserve scrutiny. At the same time, the policies under consideration affect millions of people in the United States and also deserve our careful consideration. How can we help our students make sense of the moment and the larger issues that rocket past them on their screens and in sound bites? One way for educators to teach about this topic is by putting the issues surrounding immigration in their broader historical context.
The Choices Program's curriculum unit, Immigration and the U.S. Policy Debate provides teachers with a way to help students consider the history of immigration to the United States and prepares them to articulate their own views on the future of immigration policy. Readings review the history from the colonial era to the present and introduce the economic, cultural, and security issues that influenced these flows. Exclusion and discrimination for racial and/or religious reasons are part of this history.
Immigration and the U.S. Policy Debate does not shy away from the history of racial and religious exclusion and discrimination in the United States. But we think it provides a responsible way for teachers to include this essential element of the story of immigration. Listen to the podcast below about how the Choices writers wrestled with the decision to include these essential issues in this curriculum. The podcast also includes suggestions for approaching these issues in classrooms.
In addition to readings for students, Immigration and the U.S. Policy Debate includes lessons for use in classrooms.


The hotel was low key and very pleasant. staff were friendly and very helpful. Location is great for the beach and the town and easy walking to the surrounding countryside. Enjoyed our evening drink on the balcony.
Location is perfect. Walking distance to fortress and good restauarants. Owner friendly and very helpful. Room and beds are good.
Отель класса 1*, а эстетического наслаждения на все 3*. Все мебель в номере из дерева, где-то 50-60 года 20 века. Все очень по домашнему, тепло. Хозяйка Нина большая умница. Подскажет вкусные и недорогие таверны в Метони.
Das Personal bzw die Eigentümer waren überaus freundlich und immer vor Ort. Die Lage war auch perfekt - in wenigen Schritten am Hauptplatz und am Meer! Die Klimaanlage hat wunderbar gekühlt :-) Die Zimmer waren immer sauber.
Πολύ άνετο δωμάτιο, πολύ καθαρό, σε πολύ καλή θέση το ξενοδοχείο, αλλά το καλύτερο από όλα είναι το πόσο φιλικό και ζεστό είναι το προσωπικό.
Das Hotel liegt nur wenig Meter von einem wunderbaren Sandstrand entfernt. Geschäfte, Restaurant usw. alles ist bestens fußläufig zu erreichen. Die Busverbindung nach Pylos ist ebenfalls bestens. Meine Gastgeber (deutschsprachig) waren sehr liebenswürdig und in allem absolut hilfsbereit. Ich hoffe bald wieder zu kommen.

Call and quite place, big room!
Very dirty and rusty, specially the bathroom. If they asked half the price would be ok. It is very old and should not be called a hotel. We just arrived asked for an extra pillow to sleep in afternoon and she said "it is 19:00, why to sleep now?" They are the kind of owners who expecting to generate money without paying attentions to the needs of client. In the photos are not shown the bathroom and for good reason. You have to be very desperate to stay there. Also during the day the clean chemicals are exposed in the hall and very old keys to open the doors.
Good location and trying to be polite.
Bathroom already old and rusty.
Good location within the village.


When you are getting dressed up for a special event, you will pay a lot of attention to your outfit – you will make sure that you choose an outfit that works for the occasion. The material will be rich and there will be plenty of adornment and embellishment on it. You will spend a lot of time on your hair and makeup too, but all this will be in vain, if you do not have the right jewellery to go with it!
While there will be those who will deny the importance of accessories, such as jewellery, the fact is that the right adornments, can ensure that an ensemble looks truly complete. Imagining an Indian wedding without all the jewellery – jewellery is not just about adding to an outfit, it is an inherent part of the Indian cultural ethos. Travel to any part of India and you will see different types of jewellery – if you are in the Southern part of the country, you will see more of pure gold. The mango and peacock motifs are extremely popular here and you will also see the use of rubies and emeralds. However, if you are in the northern parts of the country, you will get to see more of Kundan and polki sets.
Getting ready for a wedding, whether it's your own or your cousin's, means that you will be spending a lot of time and money, shopping. But what is interesting is that most women these days, do not want to spend a lot on real gold and diamond jewellery, because they want to match their accessories with their outfits. It is for such shoppers that there is the world of artificial jewellery exists – from designs to styles, there is so much to choose from! Whether you want something delicate for an evening party or something really heavy, for a wedding, you will be able to find it all.
What is truly wonderful about artificial jewellery is that you will have every option imaginable – whether you are looking for bangles, earrings, necklaces or even payals, you will be able to find it all. You can pick out single pieces that you need to match with your outfit, or you could splurge and pick out entire sets!


A veteran entrepreneur has launched a Denver facility, Good Life Colorado, that will focus on helping young and established cannabis-infused products companies expand.
Housed in a 1,500-square-foot space, Good Life will offer companies space to develop their products and mentoring to guide them forward.
"We decided to create a place for cannabis entrepreneurs who have fantastic ideas and solid budgets, but lack the resources for a (marijuana-infused products) license and warehouse," Patrick O'Malley, the Boulder businessman who founded Good Life, said in a new release. O'Malley also runs a test prep company.
Besides start-ups, O'Malley said Good Life is interested in working with established companies in other states who want to expand into Colorado. Good Life will accept several applicants into the accelerator program in 2016, with more in 2017.
Good Life already has had at least one client that has gone through its facility, Chooze Corp., which developed a line of terpene-infused pucks for use in a dry-herb vaporizer.

The following tutorial introduces the basic functionality available in the PCP Strip Chart tool, pmchart .
Once PCP and PCP GUI packages have been successfully installed , run the pmchart command or click on the PCP Charts icon to begin.
On starting the PCP Chart (pmchart) tool with no command line arguments, the initial display shows a menu, toolbar, and a live time axis.
The vacant area above the time axis is the blank canvas for your charts – we'll get to this shortly, but take a moment to digest the main window.
The time axis along the bottom of the window scrolls with the current time, updated every second, by default (this is also called the sample interval ).
To the left of the time axis is the time control status button.
The blue arrow signifies that (live) time is moving forward. Pressing the button once will show the Time Control tool, pmtime , pressing it a second time hides it.
The time controls allow you to modify various aspects of the flow of time in your charts, and clearly displays the current time position.
A VCR paradigm is used to allow stopping and starting the flow of time, and in the case of historical data (PCP archives), allow movement both forwards and backwards through time, and allow fast, slow, or step-by-step updates to the displayed data.
The toolbar along the top of the window has a blue folder icon for Views . The File menu provides access to the same functionality via the "Open View" item.
Click on the blue Views folder to bring up the "Open View" window.
This window initially displays a list of common performance views (these are the pre-installed System Views ). These views have been found to be useful by others over many years, and will be able to run on any host or archive that provides the metrics and instances that they wish to plot - they will never specify specific hostnames, nor will they request any specific geometry or screen position.
Select CPU and Disk from the list (Ctrl-Click allows multiple selections to be made), then press OK.
The chart canvas in the main window is now filled with the two selected Views, showing several aspects of processor and disk utilisation.
A view is a complete specification of every aspect of one or more charts, each of which can contains one or more plots. All properties of the charts and the individual plots are described - the data source behind the performance data, the color of the plots, the chart title, the style of the chart, whether the value axis (Y-Axis) should be scaled, whether there is a title, etc, etc. Some properties are optional (e.g. the title) and some can be specified as variable (e.g. allowing any host to be the source of the data).
Views are stored as plain text files in the local filesystem. The System Views are different only in that they are installed into a fixed location. There is a fixed place for custom views as well, below your home directory, where views you create in pmchart will be stored. If you look into the Open View dialog again, you'll see two icons to the right of the Path in the Open View dialog – these indicate whether the current path points to the System View location, the User View location, or neither. Notice how they update as you navigate through your files.
A recording captures live performance data from the current View into an archive folio . A folio is a group of one or more performance data archives (sometimes refered to as "logs" – an ambiguous term, so we'll refer to them as archives from here on), a copy of the current View specification, and a configuration file for the pmlogger process which does the actual recording. A folio contains enough state to be able to replay the recording at any time in the future, exactly as it was recorded.
From the main menu, select Record , and then Start to initiate a recording.
The Start Recording dialog allows you to set various aspects of the recording session – we wont change these for now – just press the OK button. You'll notice the Live Time Control button in the botton left now displays a red light, indicating that recording is in progress. Let's leave the recording run while we investigate other parts of the tool – we'll come back to this later, when its had a chance to gather some interesting data.
As a simple example of both the recording functionality, and of using pmchart to monitor different subsystems simultaneously, we'll generate some local disk I/O and see how this affects the disk and CPU utilisation charts we have already opened.
This command scans every inode on the root filesystem, which is usually a local disk. We observe a large increase in disk read operations as each inode is read in from disk (yellow plot in the Disk chart).
At the same time we observe a small increase in processor utilisation, in both kernel and user mode (red and navy blue in the CPU chart), as the command executes the code to read directories and query the stat (2) information for each file. Since we account for all CPU time, these increases in system and user time cause a corresponding decrease in the idle time (green area in the CPU chart).
There is also now an increase in the amount of time spent executing interrupt handlers (yellow plot in the CPU chart) since the device must generate an interrupt completion event for every I/O.
On systems that support a separate I/O wait CPU utilisation metric (Linux 2.6+ and IRIX), we also see a significant amount of time is spent with outstanding I/O requests (cyan plot in the CPU chart).
Views can be saved to (text) files for use on subsequent invocations of pmchart, or for use with different hosts or archives.
From the File menu select the Save View option.
Save the current two charts to a View named /tmp/ExampleView .
In a command shell, take a look through the saved View configuration.
From the Edit menu select the Chart item.
A tabbed window with all settings for the Disk chart is displayed. In the tree view on the left side of the window are the metrics from our selected Disk chart.
Dismiss the Edit Chart dialog – instead of modifying our existing charts, we'll build one from the ground up.
Click on the New Chart option in the toolbar to display the chart creation window.
It looks just like the chart editing window we've just seen, except initially we have no metrics selected in the chart, and default values for all of the chart properties.
In the Available Metrics list on the Metrics tab, expand the kernel, all , load trees from your local hosts metric namespace, and then select the three load averages ( 1, 5, 15 minutes ). Since these are leaf nodes in the namespace, and identify valid values for plotting, several buttons now become enabled – in particular the "Add Metric" button and the "Metric Info" button.
Click on the "Metric Info" button to view the metric descriptor ( pminfo ) and current values ( pmval ) for disk.all.total . Dismiss that dialog, and then press the "Add Metric" button, to add this metric into the list of metrics for our new chart.
This change can also be reverted by using the revert color button, which returns it to its previous color (displayed alongside that button).
Set the label for the plots as "1 Min", "5 Min" and "15 Min", then press OK.
A new chart will appear at the bottom of the main window with one plot, and on the next sample interval current values will be plotted.
Click on the Record menu, then Stop .
The dialog shown explains the status of your recording session (started earlier). At any time while recording, you also have the option of querying the recording process to see the same status, and also to detach the recording from the control of pmchart. But for now, we've simply ended the recording (note the red indicator light is now off on the time control button), and we're left with an archive containing the history from our recording, which we can now replay.
You are now in archive replay mode. Initially the time is stopped at the start of the archive, and the chart canvas area displays the recorded data in the views which were active at the time recording begun.
Click on the "Archive" Time Control push button in the bottom right corner to show the Time Controls.
We are now presented with the Time Control window, which is actually a separate process ( pmtime ). This program controls the flow of time in pmchart.
We now see the pmchart Disk and CPU charts displaying the recorded data, one sample after another, and the chart appears to be moving from right to left as time advances at the leading (right) edge of the time axis.
We can increase the speed of the playback by moving the Time Controls wheel from left to right, and vice-versa to reduce the playback speed.
We have now effectively paused, showing a number of Visible Points from the current sample time (displayed in both the Time Control window and the time axis, in the bottom right of the pmchart display) backward in time.
Use the Position slider in the Time Control window to move toward the end of the archive.
Now time appears to be moving backward, with time updates scrolling past in the pmchart time axis from left to right, until we reach the start of the archive. At that point, playback will stop and the Time Controls will be updated accordingly.

Social media is all the rage, don't ya know?
And yet, many lawyers don't see the returns from their investment in social media.
Of course, the options are wide and varied these days, with Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Twitter, Flikr, YouTube and many more.
Although many lawyers don't have very good LinkedIn profiles, the fact is that you're probably already on it, and you have probably already learned the basics.
That means the learning curve to get up and running with a strategic marketing campaign on LinkedIn is fairly small, and you can get cracking pretty much straight away without having to learn a bunch of new lingo and buttons to click that don't make any sense (eg Snapchat).
This might not sound like a huge deal, but if you want to leverage the power of LinkedIn one of the best things you (or your firm) can be doing is to start sharing, liking and distributing each other's content. That means expanded reach, greater exposure, and more cookies for everyone.
Although I am now of the view that every lawyer should have their own personal website, the fact is that many of them don't.
If that's you, then I forgive you.
But I also encourage you to go to your LinkedIn profile, and click the "write an article" button and start producing content for the benefit of others.
Or even better – just put a few words into your news feed.
You've got a pile of expertise inside your head – start getting it out of your head and in front of the eyes of other people!
These days with video being integrated into the platform, you could spend 2 minutes and produce a video every day if you like – from your phone.
One of the main reasons that lawyers struggle with platforms like Snapchat and Instagram and Facebook (and, let's face it – all of them) is that we feel like we need to maintain a professional image.
I think that's stupid – but it's what most people do anyway.
LinkedIn is your friend here, because it's OK to be professional and serious minded about your business – because that's why a lot of people are there.
Picture a gigantic networking function where there are 450m business cards on display.
Some will be relevant to you, and some won't.
Some will be terrible business cards, and others will be great.
But here's the fact: with that many candidates, you only need to get connected with a few to have potentially massive success.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again – the most important marketing asset you have is permission.
If you have a connection with someone on LinkedIn, then you have permission to provide value.
If you provide value, then you'll develop your position as a likeable expert.
And as you do that – you'll begin to see the results.
In professional services, you want to position yourself with the trifecta of relationship: liked, known and trusted.
Once you tick those boxes, you can start to really push your marketing efforts towards capturing your clients.
With LinkedIn, you can become known through connections, liked through engagement, and trusted through content creation – it's a triple whammy of opportunity for professionals.
So How are you Using LinkedIn?
Are you using LinkedIn effectively? Are you making connections, developing relationships and positioning yourself for success?
Or does LinkedIn go into the too hard basket?
