With two teenage children, a silly o'clock in the morning flight and a bundle of luggage, we didn't fancy buses, trains and more buses to get to our holiday flat in Denia from Alicante airport so I prebooked a taxi from Beniconnect. It wasn't cheap, 125€, but we got a spacious air conditioned vehicle with a very courteous and friendly driver Enrique who took us quickly and safely to our destination.

First time booking for a transfer from Moraira (La Sienta) to Alicante airport. Completed online. All information and directions for the pick-up were very clear. The booking was confirmed immediately by email and the exact pick-up time was confirmed 24 hours before by accessing the website. In this instance, I needed to set off earlier than the time suggested as I did not have anywhere to leave my luggage and arriving at the airport early was preferable to waiting outside in the heat in Moraira. Contacted by phone. No waiting in a phone queue and very helpful staff member. I was offered an earlier time and it was easily amended. Arrived promptly and ran to schedule. Very comfortable journey in air-conditioned minibus.
First time with this company , spot on , the vehicles were very clean and the drivers good . Rebooked private transfers and could not be happier with the service ,thanks Beniconnect

Minecraft players write touching tributes on in-game signs for "amazing" server owner who died of cancer "Our hero."
by Stone Marshall | 0 comments
Minecraft players have left tributes at an in-game memorial for a popular server's creator after he died of cancer.
The touching community-created memorial includes hundreds of messages written on signs placed around the server's hub.
Bryan, otherwise known as Pendar2, created the Emenbee Minecraft server back in 2011, and at its peak it hit 1531 concurrent players. Over the course of its seven-year life, Emenbee saw over one million unique players. But in October 2018, Pendar2 shut down the server after struggling to maintain it.

In a touching note on the Emenbee website, friend "Mod_masta" said goodbye to "a genius, a compassionate person, and our hero".
"For the last couple years of the server's life, Bryan was not very active and many of you thought he had given up. The truth is that he was diagnosed with cancer. He endured chemo and surgery for several months, and eventually we thought he had been cured. But towards the end of last year, it unexpectedly came back. Recently, Bryan passed away.
"To me Bryan was a partner, a friend, and an amazing server owner. Working with him for several years, I learned how much of a genius he truly was, in both his knowledge that allowed Emenbee to become so popular and in how he excelled at developing with so little experience. Our time spent together on Emenbee together were some of the best years of my life. It was truly an honour to have a friend like him. He did so much more for the server than most players thought he did. I could not have done anything without him.
"Without Bryan there would never have been an Emenbee, and so many of us would have been deprived of so many fun and exciting experiences. Bryan will be remembered as a genius, a compassionate person, and our hero. He accomplished so much in so little time and influenced more people than most others have throughout their lifetime."
In-game, ex-Emenbee players came together to leave tributes to Pendar2, turning the server's hub into a memorial.View image on Twitter

Bryan (Pendar2) was a true friend and an absolute gift to this world. He was an unbeatable server owner that I shared so many happy moments with. He will forever live in my memories. Rest in Peace.8010:00 AM – Mar 21, 201925 people are talking about thisTwitter Ads info and privacy
This image, posted to reddit by user remydesp, shows over a hundred messages written on boards in the hub.
"I played on this server since its birth, I'm saddened by its shutdown. The friends and memories I made are priceless. Thank you all for the time of my life," reads one message.
"In its prime, this was the best part of my day," reads another message. "Thank you for making EM the best place to be. I will never forget all that you've done for me as a person."
"Emenbee was a definition of my early teen years," said another. "Thank you."
It's one of the more impressive virtual memorials I've seen in a video game – and evidence Minecraft's community can certainly be a wonderful one.
Mod_masta pointed those who would like to support Pendar2's family to consider donating to Cancer Research.

We all know that curb appeal is important to the look, feel, and resale of our home, but changing our home's exterior is easier said than done. Whether you can only afford a few cans of paint, or whether you're ready to completely renovate, these 20 home exterior makeover before and after ideas are sure to inspire! To be taken to the original picture source, click on the blue/gray text after each number.
This home was renovated by Chip and Joanna Gaines on HGTV's Fixer Upper. New front doors, wood shingles, wood shutters, square post columns, and a painting technique called "German Smear" completely transformed the look of this cape cod! This particular home was a hot topic of discussion on my facebook page due to the mixed opinions on painting brick. Want to weigh in your thoughts? Click here!
Creating a beautiful exterior isn't just about adding more; sometimes you need to scale back! Removing trees and a few windows made a huge difference to the curb appeal of this southern charmer.
This beautiful home just needed some extreme TLC. Very few structural changes were necessary to give the home new life.
Sometimes the before and the after can be equally beautiful, and yet distinctly different. In 2008, Nester painted her brick colonial, replaced the shutters, and changed the front doors and entryway to create a completely different exterior!
The addition of the portico porch dramatically changed the exterior of this ranch style home! Depending on the space, design, and contractor, a small porch addition can cost between $5000-$10,000.
On this episode of HGTV's Fixer Upper, the homeowners longed for a french country feel to their home. They picked this home trusting Chip and Joanna to deliver a French Country look to their sprawling ranch home, and the end result was amazing. Interestingly, this project also garnered mixed reviews because of the painted brick. Click here to see what people had to say!
Simply beautiful! What a diamond in the rough! It's such a joy to see neglected homes come to life again.
Chip and Joanna Gaines added dormer windows to the existing structure to give the illusion of a second story. She discusses it here on Magnolia. Love it? What would you have done differently? Click here to discuss!
This exterior renovation is amazing! The addition of the gabled porch made a HUGE difference, but I also love the shutter removal, blue exterior, and yellow front door. Click here if you want to give your opinion on this one!
You have to look closely to even see the how the "before" fits into the "after"! This is a completely transformed split foyer renovation. Fabulous job!
Sometimes the best things are found underneath what another homeowner covered up! The original cedar shakes were found under aluminum siding. Read about it on Angie's List.
Wow! Porches to the rescue once again! If you're looking for a beautiful way to spruce up your ranch style home, consider investing in a front porch.
Gorgeous! If you could afford it and had the time, would you buy an old home and restore it? Click here to give your thoughts!
The homeowners wanted to restore their home to it's original state, and the outcome is nothing short of amazing. The floor to ceiling windows and covered porch makes the space!
This colonial style home received a major renovation, and I'm torn between which version I like better! What do you think? Share your thoughts here.
No before & after exterior makeover list is complete without the Magnolia House! I love the simplicity and clean look of the all white exterior and black door.
This is another gorgeous renovation found on HGTV's Fixer Upper from Chip and Joanna Gaines. The painted brick, addition of the rectangular windows, new front door & porch transformed this exterior.
The "before" of this home depicts a style of house commonly found across U.S. suburbia. If you have this basic style and are ready for an update, the "after" picture is fantastic inspiration! This is one of my favorite exterior transformations of the bunch.
Typically a porch addition makes all the difference, but in this home's case the porch elimination helped transform the home. Centering the door, removing the heavy awnings, and adding the widow's walk made a huge difference. Oh, and let's not forget that fantastic blue paint job!
If you liked this post, be sure to follow me on Facebook where I share decorating and house inspiration every day ALL day!
Beautiful renovations especially the painting of brick..I want to also paint my ranch brick house from brown,reddish to a white color as I recently changed my vinyl siding from buttet to bright white with all white trim..whats the pros and con for painting brick??
The pros are mostly visual–if you like the look of painted brick which I do! If your brick is deteriorating from age, painting may also offer a temporary fix and some protection from the elements. The cons are the upkeep and expense. Whether limewashed or painted, exterior brick will have to be updated as the paint begins to fail. Limewashing the brick will last longer than a latex paint application. Painted brick may fail after as little as 5-10 years and hiring someone to paint the exterior of a home is quite expensive.
My home was built in the 50's and I want to update roof and siding. Where is a good web site to upload house pictures to get expert advice on color choice?
A lot of the houses in these before pictures look like they could never be the houses in the after photos. They're so beautiful! Thanks for sharing these renovations!
Amazing transformation!The exterior makeover is very beautiful. I want to look at the interior design for all of this. Thank you for sharing, you made my day happier looking at this inspiration posts. Honestly, we are thinking of renovating our home, but we don't have a final decision yet. Do you have any tips for home exterior design? I would highly appreciate your help!
Wow! These home renovations are amazing!

Interesting Columns and Takes on Comey and the Clinton Investigation
RUSH: There's all kinds of upbeat Trump news when it comes even to the Comey story.
Explaining Socialism to a New Millennial Listener
RUSH: The first thing that I would tell you about socialism is that it has never worked a single time in the history of the world. It has never accomplished any of its objectives anywhere in the world. It has not made people prosperous. It has not expanded liberty and freedom. It has not created more open-mindedness and tolerance.
The Genesis of the Russia Hoax
RUSH: In the 45 days prior to the election, there wasn't a word said about the Russians, because the Clintons thought they were gonna win. They didn't want anybody thinking the election was tainted.

The Media Sets the Narrative — and the Democrats Follow
RUSH: They're starting the ball rolling. They're the ones setting the tone. They're establishing narratives. They're creating talking points. The Democrats are following along.
Real People Don't Care About the Comey Story

MARK COLVIN: A Singapore foreign policy expert says Kevin Rudd's vision for an Asia-Pacific community is dead in the water.
Former ambassador Barry Desker says no Asian leader has backed the Prime Minister's call for a new regional institution, which Mr Rudd launched on June 4, before visiting Japan and Indonesia.
The head of Singapore's Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies says Mr Rudd's proposal came out of the blue, without any consultation with Asia.
Mr Desker gave the thumbs down to the initiative today at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, and he spoke afterwards with Graeme Dobell.
GRAEME DOBELL: Barry Desker, why is Kevin Rudd's idea dead in the water?
BARRY DESKER: My own view is on this is that the proposals which are substantive as this clearly was would always be best received in the region if they are put through first through consultation with the region and a consensus building processes attempted. I think in this case, there was an element of surprise and it may be well overlap with existing projects to create a regional security architecture.
GRAEME DOBELL: How did Australia's prime minister get it wrong?
BARRY DESKER: I don't think it's a question of getting it wrong. I think it was more a question of being over-enthusiastic and wanting to probably have something which would attract attention on a visit to the region.
GRAEME DOBELL: Was East Asia offended that Kevin Rudd bought this idea, as you put it, out of the blue?
BARRY DESKER: No political leader has indicated this so far and I don't think that given the politeness is part and parcel of regional approached to diplomacy, you would ever find such as reaction publicly made by governments in the region. But I think much more important is a need for Australia to understand the process of diplomacy in the region and how effective Australians approached could be to agree to Australian influence on decision-making in the region.
GRAEME DOBELL: If no Asian leader has shot it down, why do you think in fact that the idea was dead almost as it was delivered?
BARRY DESKER: I have seen no Asian leader support the proposal.
GRAEME DOBELL: Was it a failure of an Australian idea, or was it a failure of diplomacy not actually consulting beforehand?
BARRY DESKER: I think there're no problems with the idea per se, what is more important is where the idea is put across. And here I think it could have been better received if there was prior notice and some consultation with the region so that the idea could have taken into account regional inputs and it will then appear to be part of a consensus building process.
GRAEME DOBELL: Were you surprised that a former Australian diplomat and expert on Asia, like Kevin Rudd, could go about it this way?
BARRY DESKER: Kevin is someone who is outstanding for his diplomatic skills and I'm sure it is part and parcel of being someone who'd wish to come forward with some new ideas and lead him to make this proposal at this point in time.
GRAEME DOBELL: Was he too focused on the politics and not on the diplomacy?
BARRY DESKER: I'm not quite sure whether he was too focused on the diplomacy or the politics, but I would say that he was probably focused on wanting to have a new idea to put forward to the international regional community.
GRAEME DOBELL: Was it seen as Australia being a bit cheeky, Australia trying to tell Asia how to do its business.
BARRY DESKER: I think for an Asian to give that kind of response would be a bit presumptuous.

A riboflavin-carrier protein has been purified from human pregnancy and umbilical cord sera by affinity chromatography and fast-protein liquid chromatography. This protein had a similar molecular weight to the chicken egg riboflavin carrier protein and shares other physicochemical properties, such as pI and riboflavin binding characteristics, with the avian counterpart. A high degree of immunological cross-reactivity is observed between human and avian riboflavin binding proteins indicating the extensive conservation of this protein throughout evolution.

Q: Datatables shared parameters affected by sorting I have a DataTable that can have N number of children DataTable(s) that can be added/removed/recreated at any time. I would like the children to share initialization parameters but it seems that DataTables affect the original data structure.
When adding two children and sorting the first one, the second child will inherit the sorting when recreated. I have created a fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/wthY9/44/
var myDataTable;
var index = 0;
var parentParams = {
    "order":[],
    "columns":[
        {"name":"Col 1"},
        {"name":"Col 2"},
        {"name":"Col 3"},
        {"name":"Col 4"},
    ],
};
var childParams = {
    "columns":[
        {"name":"Col 1"},
        {"name":"Col 2"},
        {"name":"Col 3"},
    ],
        "order":[],
};

$(document).ready(function(){
    myDataTable = $('#myTable').DataTable(parentParams);

    $('#createChild').click(function(e){
        e.preventDefault();
        if(typeof myDataTable.row(index).child() == "undefined"){
            var $table = $($('#child_table').html());
            $table.css('width','100%');
            var newChildParams = $.extend({}, childParams);
            var childTable = $table.DataTable(newChildParams);
            myDataTable.row(index).child(
                childTable.table().container()
            );
        }
        myDataTable.row(index).child.show();
        index++;
    });

-    $('#recreateChild').click(function(e){
        e.preventDefault();
        var lastIndex = index - 1;

        var $table = $($('#child_table').html());
        $table.css('width','100%');
        var childTable = $table.DataTable(childParams);
        myDataTable.row(lastIndex).child(
            childTable.table().container()
        );

        myDataTable.row(lastIndex).child.show();
    });

    $('#hideChild').click(function(e){
        myDataTable.row(--index).child.hide();
    });
});

Steps:

*

*Add two children

*Sort first child on any column

*Recreate the second child with the recreate button

*Second child have inherited the ordering (debugging shows that the default childParameters now have ordering set instead of being an empty Array).

How can I recreate children and keep the sort order for the child being recreated?
Edit: Since there has been no answer nor comment I have double posted this question to the DataTables forum.

A: var newChildParams = $.extend({}, childParams); is shallow copy here, which means newChildParams only point to childParams's address. If you change the variable in newChildParams, childParams will update too.
The solution is use deep copy var newObject = jQuery.extend(true, {}, oldObject);. It will copy the object to another memory address. You can see the graph for more details.
So I edited deep copy to #createChild and #recreateChild in your code, you can see demo at jsfiddle.

With palpable excitement, Israeli archaeologists in Jerusalem announced that they have restored colorfully-decorated floor tiles in geometric shapes that they believe were on the floor of the Second Temple in Jerusalem that was destroyed in 70 CE. Jews call the site the Temple Mount, while Muslims call it the Noble Sanctuary.
The floor tiles were in complex geometric patterns of squares turned inside other squares in colors including black and rose. The materials were marble and alabaster and similar to other floors in palaces from King Herod built at the same time. Herod was a Roman king who ruled the area in the first century BCE and expanded the site of the second Temple.
Snyder reconstructed the designs of the floors using mathematical models. The type of flooring, called Opus sectile, which means "cut work" in Latin, is very expensive and was considered to be far more prestigious than mosaic tiled floors, she said.
She said that about 600 colored stone floor tile segments have so far been uncovered, with more than 100 definitively dated to the Herodian Second Temple period. The style of flooring is the same as those found in other of Herod's palaces in Masada, Herodian and Jericho. Snyder says the tile segments were perfectly inlaid next to each other.
The tiles are part of the Temple Mount sifting project, an Israeli archaeological project begun in 2005. It began after the Muslim Waqf, which controls the site that is holy to both Jews and Muslims, removed 400 truckloads of soil when they expanded a mosque on the site known as the el-Marwani mosque.
Israeli archaeologists were furious, afraid they had lost their chance to find many of the valuable Jewish artifacts at the site.
Devira originally thought the project would last just a few months. But, he said, as they advanced they realized the finds were significant, and it was a chance to teach archaeology. They established the Temple Mount Sifting Project, in which volunteers come and sift through buckets of dirt, in a method similar to panning for gold.
He said they have a half-million objects that need further investigation and they are currently building a lab to do so.
Palestinians have criticized the Temple Mount Sifting Project, which is located on the slopes of Mount Scopus, next to the Mount of Olives, as part of an Israeli effort to deny Palestinian claims to east Jerusalem, which they say must be the capital of a Palestinian site. It is located next to the Arab neighborhood of A-Tur.
Devira says the goal of the project is not political, but he understands the sensitivities.
Volunteer Beverly Ungar is carefully sifting through a bucket of debris that she has poured out onto a wire mesh table. A retired public health nurse, she has come here once a month for the past three years.

Q: Moving Firestore security rule to custom function breaks rule I have a Firestore security rule that check that an user has the proper code to access another document.
service cloud.firestore {
  match /databases/{database}/documents {
    match /Orgs/{orgID} {
      allow read: if get(/databases/$(database)/documents/Users/$(request.auth.uid)).data.OrgCode == resource.data.Code;
    }
  }
}

This works great. However, if I try to move this check into a custom function like so:
service cloud.firestore {
  match /databases/{database}/documents {
    match /Orgs/{orgID} {
      allow read: if isPartOfOrg();
    }
  }
}
function isPartOfOrg(){
  return get(/databases/$(database)/documents/Users/$(request.auth.uid)).data.OrgCode == resource.data.Code;
}

Then I start to get permission errors. I haven't done anything but move the logic into a function, why is this not working?

A: I figured it out while writing the question. The docs say that functions have access to variables and functions from the scope in which they are defined and not from where they are called.
So, move the function into the match block as so, and everything works again!
service cloud.firestore {
  match /databases/{database}/documents {
    match /Orgs/{orgID} {
      function isPartOfOrg(){
        return get(/databases/$(database)/documents/Users/$(request.auth.uid)).data.OrgCode == resource.data.Code;
      }
      allow read: if isPartOfOrg();
    }
  }
}

Hope this helps others who run into this issue!

Home / The Latest / 9 INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE MINERAL MAGNESIUM
9 INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE MINERAL MAGNESIUM
Magnesium is a silvery-white, alkaline-earth metal essential to all cellular life on Earth.
ven the most nutrition-savvy readers are bound to learn something new from these 9 interesting facts about magnesium!
Magnesium has an ancient healing history
The name magnesium comes from Magnetes, an ancient Greek tribe that inhabited the area where magnesium carbonate was first found and used as a laxative to treat a range of illnesses.
When the medicinal properties of the magnesium-rich water from the Epsom Spring in England were discovered in the 1600s, the town of Epsom rapidly became a popular health resort and spa. People even drank the salty water to 'purify the blood'.
Magnesium is the 8th most abundant element in the universe
Abundant throughout the universe, magnesium is also found in the earth and the sea, as well as in plants, animals, and humans.
It makes up two per cent of Earth's crust, but there is far more magnesium to be found in the deeper layers of our planet. In fact, 13 per cent of Earth's total mass consists of magnesium, which is more than enough to make another planet with the mass of Mars!
With a 0.13 per cent concentration, magnesium is the third-most abundant mineral dissolved in seawater. Not only is there a magnesium ion in each chlorophyll molecule of every green plant, but your body also contains around 4-6 teaspoons of magnesium.
Magnesium doesn't naturally exist on its own
While magnesium can be found all over the planet, it does not exist in nature independently from other elements, such as carbon, calcium and oxygen. The magnesium in the ocean, for example, exists naturally as the compound magnesium chloride, while there are magnesium carbonate deposits in the earth and magnesium sulphate in springs like the one in Epsom.
Plant anatomist and physiologist Nehemiah Grew isolated and patented the magnesium sulphate from Epsom Spring in 1695. However, it wasn't until 1755 that magnesium was recognised as a unique element as a result of experiments conducted by chemist and physicist Joseph Black.
It has proven indispensable to the aviation and aerospace industries
Isolating magnesium has helped us fly and travel to space
In 1808, Sir Humphry Davy ran an electrical current through magnesium oxide to produce pure magnesium. Although Davy was the first scientist to isolate magnesium successfully, he could only produce a minimal quantity.
In 1831, Antoine Bussy became the first chemist to create a significant amount of pure magnesium, but it wasn't until 1909 that Robert Bunsen's electrolysis method made the industrial production of magnesium possible.
At one third the density of aluminium, magnesium is the lightest structural metal on the planet. As such, it has proven indispensable to the aviation and aerospace industries, where it is extensively used as an alloy for optimal strength and lightness
Magnesium ions are found in every cell of the body
Responsible for activating hundreds of biochemical reactions performed by enzymes, magnesium ions are found in every cell of your body. Around 60% of your body's magnesium is in your bones, while your muscles are home to 39%, and the remaining 1% inhabits soft tissues, blood and other fluids.
When dissolved in your bodily fluids, magnesium is an electrolyte. After sodium, it's the second most abundant positively charged electrolyte found in your cells.
Magnesium is vital to every system in the body
Magnesium's many functions include supporting the immune system, regulating blood pressure, and helping your muscles contract and relax to move your body. It also supports the nervous system by blocking the activity of the more stimulating neurotransmitters and binding to calming receptors for a more peaceful, resting state.
With low levels linked to an increased risk of depression and anxiety, magnesium is essential for the production of serotonin and plays a critical role in mood, brain function, memory, and learning.
It also plays a role in building new proteins from amino acids, helps create and repair DNA and RNA to maintain genes, and helps convert food into energy. Magnesium also regulates calcium and vitamin D levels, making it essential for healthy bones.
Plants need magnesium too!
Present in the chlorophyll molecule of every green plant, magnesium is crucial to photosynthesis, the process of extracting energy from sunlight. Richard Willstatter won the Nobel prize in 1915 for describing the structure of this green plant pigment and identifying magnesium as the central element.
Magnesium deficiency is common
While fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes and whole grains are excellent sources of magnesium, the Standard American Diet only provides about 50% of the recommended daily intake. Depending on age, gender, and activity level, adults should take in between 310–420 mg of magnesium each day.
Symptoms of low magnesium include muscle cramps, headaches, and chronic pain, and deficiency is linked to chronic inflammation, diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, sleep problems, and metabolic syndrome.
We also need to get enough magnesium to produce enough melatonin, the sleep-regulating hormone
Magnesium is vital for healthy sleep
In addition to healthy sleep habits, we also need to get enough magnesium to produce enough melatonin, the sleep-regulating hormone. Almonds, cashews, legumes, and spinach are some of the most magnesium-rich foods, so be sure to include these in your diet – especially in the evening because magnesium calms the nervous system and prepares your mind and body for a restful sleep.
Relax Into Sleep contains magnesium bound to an amino acid called glycine, which has its own anti-inflammatory and sleep-promoting qualities and supports magnesium absorption. This scientifically formulated sleep supplement also contains valerian, passionflower, and lemon balm, which are traditional sleep aids used in Western herbal medicine.
Better sleep is the tip of the iceberg!
Shown to fight inflammation, lower blood sugar, reduce blood pressure, support sleep, and improve exercise performance, a daily supplement is an efficient and easy way to increase your magnesium intake, sleep better, and enjoy the many health benefits.

When preparing for our trip to the Orinoco Delta I was a little sceptical about it: I thought that the only thing we would find there would be another tourist attraction prepared by some actors wearing Indian clothes and showing scenes from their tribal life. But I was wrong.
It was two hours since we had started our way through dusty roads of savannah and finally reached a small town. A boat was waiting for us at the pier. As soon as we loaded our luggage in the boat we set off searching for Warao indigenous people.
The first Europeans reached the Orinoco Delta soon after Christopher Columbus came here. The first thing they saw was the dwellings of Warao built on pillars and connected by bridges. This kind of architecture reminded them of Venice, so the new lands were named Venezuela ("little Venice").
"Warao" itself means "the boat people" after the Warao's lifelong and intimate connection to the water. Even the word referring to "home" (janoko) means "place for a boat". This is a good illustration of their lifestyle and attitude towards their homes - the platforms made of planks or palm trunks. The roofs are made from palm or thatch leaves. There are no walls at all. For sleeping they use hammocks made by women out of palm fibres. And that's the whole household these people have.
Warao teach their children how to sail in a boat since earliest childhood. They hunt rarely, mostly they are engaged in fishing and foraging. In some areas with good conditions Warao grow vegetables and rice. The landscape of the Delta is mainly marshes with mangrove forests, so it is quite a challenge to simply walk in this area. At high tides the water covers the roots of the trees and at low tides the water steps back and thousands of small crabs and mosquitoes leave their shelters.
We lived in a hotel on poles located deep in the jungles. There were mosquito curtains on the windows, the beds were covered with canopies. But all these measures even using repellent had little effect on mosquitoes. With nightfall they were everywhere. Even the local cat was bitten so much that its nose and ears swelled twice its normal size.
The following day we went to visit the Warao people. We were welcomed very heartily: everyone came to greet us and soon it was time to treat the guests with the local food.
Palm trees serve not only as building material, but also as food. A coconut worm, a big white larva, is placed in a trunk of the palm tree. For several weeks the worms gnaw the core to shreds. Then Warao take these shreds, put it in water, rub through a sieve, make a kind of dough and bake a "pie". It tasted a little sweetish, sticky, but still, it felt nice. And the worms themselves are edible among locals: they eat them raw or fried.
Fish is also the meal for Warao, and, we should say, an unusual species of fish. Small channels are full of piranhas. Contrary to the accepted point of view, piranhas are apparently not so dangerous as many people think: local people safely swim here without any harm for their health. Warao can cook a tasty piranha soup, sometimes even birds can appear on their dining table - they hunt them using a slingshot. They also have self-made rifles with a flintlock mechanism, suitable only for one shot. Bullets are loaded straight into the muzzle.
Warao families are usually big, although it does not affect the overall number of these indigenous people: there are about 20,000 Warao people in the world. One of the reasons for that is the absence of proper medical care resulting in the spread of tuberculosis and fever.
Although living in such conditions is not easy, Warao people very smile. The life in the jungles has taught them to be grateful for small favours and enjoy very simple things. Previously, the state was supporting these people: schools were built, electricity was provided. But with the beginning of the economic crisis indigenous people were left on their own. Now they live in the same way their ancestors lived a long time ago: they get all they need from nature, believe in God-Hunter and sail in their boats.

Q: Live USB boot does not work "any more! For the past couple of days I was experimenting with Ubuntu.
I am running Ubuntu 14 (BIOS) on a Dell xps 15Z.
I used a USB drive to install ubuntu on this system (HP formatting tool & YUMI) however since a failed a try in installing WIN 7 OEM via usb, this system does not boot with live USB anymore: " Operating system not found."
I tried to remake the usb via another laptop running windows, the usb works on that laptop but not on the this one running ubuntu; Then I made a live usb using "Startup Disk Creator", which still does not work on this laptop.
Any ideas what is the cause and how I can fix it?
p.s: I do not have CD/DVD drive on this laptop.
Thanks in advance

A: If you're using the same USB you used to install Windows with to try and boot Ubuntu Live CD are you sure you formatted it before burning the ISO on it?

We'll miss you, Ted. To celebrate and mourn the downfall of our favorite Zodiac killer, here are his 5 best viral moments.
By Chris Thomas
Say Goodbye to Ted Cruz with His 5 Most Cringeworthy Moments
As Former President Lyndon B. Johnson once said, "Being president is like being a jackass in a hailstorm. There's nothing to do but to stand there and take it." Luckily for everyone involved, we never had to watch Ted "Crazy Pants Stryper Zodiac Not-Lucifer Grandpa Munster" Cruz enter the hailstorm—we just watched him be a jackass all year. Last night his hopes and dreams of becoming the first serial killer in the White House dissolved, as voters chose a racist xenophobic man with no political experience over him. As terrifying as his policies and Gerber murderer face are, we'll miss him while we grapple with the reality of Donald Trump now having a legitimate chance of being our next president. Sad candidate John Kasich has also left the building–not that he had much of a shot anyway.
The good news is that while we're drafting our contingency plans to escape the country, we can revel in the fact that everything on the Internet lives on forever. From your badly angled nudes to the beautiful trainwreck photo albums of you in high school, it's all there. We've already dug into the deeply awkward and slightly terrifying moments that made Cruz's VP-pick-for-a-week Carly Fiorina a millennial voter's viral dream come true. Now, as Cruz sinks into oblivion like Fiorina's presidential bid or the Titanic, we're holding up a can of soup (we'll get to that later) in remembrance of our five favorite Cruz moments.
When He Made Hand Holding as Uncomfortable as Seeing Your Parents Have Sex
Watching Cruz and Fiorina's hands reject each other like a bad blood transfusion earlier this week made us want to take twenty cold showers, vomit, and then take ten more cold showers. It looked like a dove trying to fly away with two broken wings with the level of nausea we'd reserve for accidentally walking in on our parents in reverse cowgirl.
tfw your tinder date is awkward https://t.co/Ci5qlOBXms
— Adam Smith (@asmith83) May 2, 2016
When The Internet Yelled Out #FreeHeidi After Cruz Elbowed Her in the Face
In a decidedly less vomit-inducing but equally as uncomfortable moment, Cruz's wife Heidi not only get punched in the face by her husband, but elbowed, too. It's never easy to see someone you love try and fail to win over the hearts and minds of Americans, but this was a whole new level of sadness. In one moment, Heidi's face became the symbol of Cruz's entire presidential campaign. Someone #FreeHeidi, she doesn't deserve this.
In that moment, Heidi's face getting attacked by her husband's arm made us want to #FreeHeidi.
When He Released Sixteen Hours of Awkward Family Footage on YouTube
If you've ever wondered what Cruz looks like while trying to act out human emotions alongside a group of people who'd rather be literally any other place in the world at that moment, congrats. There are sixteen hours of footage on YouTube that you can watch to make you want to light your skin on fire while still making time for the doctor-recommended eight hours of sleep afterward. That, or you can watch the highlights that Gawker pulled together (embedded below) to make you slightly less disturbed. The video footage was professionally shot, features someone who can't stop coughing and some fabulously sassy teens, has enough awkward embraces to last an eternity, and feels like a torture technique the CIA would use in place of waterboarding.
When People Who Went to College with Him Mercilessly Dragged Him
If we've learned anything from Ted Cruz, it's that wherever he goes, he leaves behind a trail of overwhelming distaste for anyone who had the displeasure of interacting with him. Even before he became the most hated person in the Senate, he was being an awful college student at Princeton. Luckily for us, his former roommates use the Internet and aren't afraid to drag him through the dirt. Chief among them is Craig Mazin, a screenwriter and prominent figure on Twitter, who loathed living with Cruz.
Ted Cruz thinks people don't have a right to "stimulate their genitals." I was his college roommate. This would be a new belief of his.
— Craig Mazin (@clmazin) April 13, 2016
Ted Cruz kept saying God wanted him to be President, and this is what happened. So either there is no God, or he reeeeally doesn't like Ted.
— Craig Mazin (@clmazin) May 3, 2016
When His Long Lost Twin Sister Surfaced on an Episode of Maury
"She's more famous than Madonna!" That's an actual quote that left the mouth of 25-year-old Freddie Green, who is the fiancé of a woman named Searcy Hayes, who is either Cruz's long-lost sister or is actually Cruz dressed in drag. Either way, she is now experiencing more fame and success than the Cruz presidential campaign ever had. She was discovered on Maury after being accused of cheating by Green, but once the Internet caught on to her uncanny resemblance, her world changed. Now she's set to make $10,000 doing a ten-minute sextape for porn website XHamster.com, which is a beautifully American turn of events. Cruz may be out of the race, but at least we can point to the story of Hayes and her impending sextape as the one American who was helped by his presidential campaign.
What does it mean when the only good thing to come out of the Cruz presidential campaign was a sextape?

The Controversy of Zion: Jewish Nationalism, the Jewish State, and the Unresolved Jewish Dilemma
By Geoffrey Wheatcroft
Addison-Wesley, 1996, 396 pp
Reviewed By William B. Quandt
There is no shortage of books on Zionism, yet this one is different. First of all, the author is neither a Zionist nor an anti-Zionist. Rather, he is a historian who asks how Zionism, a movement founded just 100 years ago, has contributed to its original goal of creating a normal life for Jews. His survey takes him on a journey through history and ideas, concluding with the travails of the successful, but not always happy, modern state of Israel. The author, however, has a tendency to judge Zionism by its initial purpose, paying too little attention, perhaps, to the inevitable hardening of ideology and organization that occurred as Zionists confronted the British and Arabs in Palestine, Hitler's attempt at extermination, the early wars of the fledgling state, and the challenges of peace. Still, his observations are filled with insight, his stance is dispassionate, and his conclusions are thought-provoking.

Cougars love Novak Djokovic
Novak Djokovic is the Wimbledon favourite say CougarLife.com female members in a new poll – and though Federer may have been knocked out of the competition, he still beats Murray. CougarLife is the leading dating site for confident women in their sexual prime who love dating younger men.
Cougar Life's members were asked: Which men's singles player would you most like to hook up with? The result was a grand slam for 26-year-old Novak Djokovic with 55.2% of the votes as the sport's most desirable date amongst the tanned tennis bodies and jet-set lifestyle of the circuit.
Rated world number one, it's not surprising that Djokovic comes out top with his dark good looks, athletic physique and reputation for doing the splits. 'The Serbian has won 6 grand slams and some pundits call him the greatest player of all time; he certainly has the winning advantage with Britain's Cougars,' says Marlo Jordan, Miss CougarLife.
Below are the results of the poll: Which men's singles player would you most like to hook up with?
1. Novak Djokovic 55.2%
2. Roger Federer 32.3%
3. Andy Murray 12.5%
Roger Federer's cool Swiss charm and sartorial elegance put him in second place with 32.3% of the Cougar vote. 'With 17 singles titles – more than any player in history – 31 year old Federer is a gentleman and true sportsman, qualities that are clearly appreciated by Cougar women looking for tennis fun and games,' says Marlo Jordan. 'With his austere manner, too-present mother and sobbing at the Olympics, Andy Murray is not known for being hot, so he should take heart from his third place and 12.5% of the vote. Perhaps the shy 26 year old Scot's lanky-limbed style make Cougars want to nurture him, or do they think gorgeous Kim Sears has taught him some new tricks?'
As for the Spanish heart-throb, Rafael Nadal doesn't make it into the top three for Cougars. Going out in the first round at this year's Wimbledon championships as well, it really isn't his lucky week.

What Type of Government Does Monaco Have?
In the constitutional monarchy of Monaco, the prince of Monaco serves as the country's head of state.
The principality of Monaco is a microstate in Western Europe bordered by France and the Mediterranean Sea. It is the world's second smallest independent state after the Vatican. The Grimaldi family took leadership of Monaco in 1297 and has ruled the country ever since, although there have been a few interruptions. The Grimaldi family exercised absolute control of Monaco and all its resources until 1911 when the country drafted its first constitution. The main aim of the constitution was to lessen the powers of the ruling family. The newly drafted constitution made Monaco into a constitutional monarchy and shifted political power from the ruling prince to the minister of state. In 1962, Monaco's second constitution was drafted. It outlined the three branches of government, namely the executive, legislative, and judicial branches.
The executive branch of government is comprised of the prince, minister of state, and council of government. The prince inherits his position from the ruling family and is the head of state. His major role is to appoint the minister of state from a list of three candidates selected by the government of France. The minister of state is the head of government, and directs the council of government, handles foreign relations, and commands the police. The council of government is comprised of five members, who handle the economy and finances of Monaco, internal and external affairs, the environment, as well as the social welfare of the residents of Monaco.
The principality of Monaco has a unicameral parliamentary system, meaning they have only one legislative chamber. The national assembly has 24 members who are publicly elected through a majority vote. Members of the national assembly are voted in through different political parties because Monaco is a multi-party state. The members of the national assembly serve for five-year terms. The role of the national assembly is to vote on Monaco's budget and debate laws put forward by the prince. The legislative branch of government works independently with no influence from the monarch. However, the prince has the power to dissolve parliament on the condition that elections are held within three months from the time of dissolution.
The judicial arm of government in the principality of Monaco is comprised of the supreme court, court of appeal, and the civil court. The courts are run by French judges. The supreme court is the highest court in Monaco and is made up of five permanent judges who are appointed by the monarch after nominations by the national assembly, council of government, and other state organizations. Monaco's laws are closely linked to the laws in France, which are based on the Napoleonic Code. Although justice is dispensed in the name of the ruling prince, judges decide independently without the control of the monarch.
Monaco occupies a small area of two square kilometers. It is made of one municipality which is partitioned into four administrative quarters, namely Fontvieille, Monaco-Ville, La Condamine and Monte-Carlo. The quarters are jointly run by a mayor and a council of 15 elected members referred to as the communal council. The quarters are further sub-divided into ten wards.

Vice-Admiral Charles James FitzGerald, 1st Baron Lecale PC (Ire) (30 June 1756 – 18 February 1810), styled Lord Charles FitzGerald between 1761 and 1800, was an Irish naval commander and politician.

Background
FitzGerald was the third son of James FitzGerald, 1st Duke of Leinster, and Lady Emily, daughter of Charles Lennox, 2nd Duke of Richmond and the second of the famous Lennox Sisters. He was the brother of William FitzGerald, 2nd Duke of Leinster, Lord Henry FitzGerald and Lord Edward FitzGerald. Through his mother he was a great-great-grandson of King Charles II. There were 19 children in his family. His sister Lady Charlotte FitzGerald took the title of Baroness Rayleigh in 1821. His brother Lord Edward FitzGerald is known as the famous Irish revolutionary. One of his numerous brothers was Lord Robert Stephen FitzGerald who is known to be a British diplomat in Switzerland 1792–1795.

Political and naval career
FitzGerald sat as a Member of Parliament (MP) in the Irish House of Commons for Kildare County from 1776 to 1790, for Cavan Borough from 1790 to 1798 and for Ardfert from 1798 to the Act of Union in 1801. He served as High Sheriff of Down in 1783, a Commissioner of Customs between 1789 and 1792 and as Muster-Master-General of Ireland between 1792 and 1806.

He also served in the Royal Navy. He was commissioned as a lieutenant in 1777, and his first command was the cutter  in 1779. He sailed her to Saint Lucia, where she was wrecked in March 1780, though without loss of life. He was made post-captain on 23 May 1780. Thereafter he was captain of a number of frigates. He participated in the Battle of the Chesapeake in 1781. He was made a Rear-Admiral in 1790.

On 27 December 1800, he was raised to the Peerage of Ireland as Baron Lecale, of Ardglass in the County of Down. He briefly represented Arundel in the British House of Commons between January and April 1807.

Family
Lord Lecale was twice married, the second time in London on 18 July 1808 to former Mrs. Julia Carton (died Courtlands, Devon, 6 May 1844), without issue. His only children, both illegitimate, were Henry FitzGerald, who died at sea, off Civitavecchia, on 14 September 1803, and Anna Maria FitzGerald who eventually married morganatically to the Hon. Algernon Percy (diplomat).
Lecale converted 15th century warehouses in Ardglass, County Down into a castellated house, known as Ardglass Castle, at the end of the 18th century. The castle is now the home of Ardglass Golf Club.  He died in the Castle in February 1810, aged 53, when the barony became extinct.
Lord Lecale's tomb is located in Bright parish church, which bears a memorial plate in his name.

I'm currently in the Graduate Program at California College of the Arts, so I haven't been spending much time updating this site.
Not all sections of Anutherwun have been updated. This is an old site, and some areas look like it.
On one fine Summer's day, two Coyotes were crossing a farmers field. Both Coyotes were strangers to each other for they had never met. Just as they were about to introduce themselves they heard the farmer yell, "There's a Coyote in the field!" The first Coyote turned to the other and told him to run!
They both started to run for the trees when they heard the farmer yell, "And there goes another one!". Finally both Coyotes made it to the cover of the trees and they started to introduce themselves. "I never saw you before, I am Wanderer, I am a Coyote like you." The other Coyote looked at him oddly and said, "I am Sleek, but I am not a Coyote like you."
When the two Coyotes reached the other side of the field they ducked into the woods. Wanderer turned to sleek and said, "There! Didn't you hear the Farmer? He called us both Coyotes." Sleek look disappointed with his new confused friend and said, "Yes I heard the Farmer. He called you a Coyote, but I am an 'Anutherwun'."


To support the maritime industry as it undergoes a structural transition, Wallem is changing, and so is its brand. The refreshed corporate identity and logo reflects its ambition to establish a fundamentally new approach in collaborating with vessel owners and deliver on its vision of being "the leading provider of technology-driven maritime solutions in a customer centric and transparent manner".
The refreshed strategy is built on three fundamental values: supporting quality through safety; transparency through technology; and service through support. Combined, these principles will enable Wallem to enhance its current offerings, including safety management and compliance, crewing, training, asset and commercial management, and ship agency, among others. They will also provide momentum for the introduction of new services required by vessel owners, such as technology consultancy.
Wallem CEO Frank Coles believes a lack of transparency is inhibiting collaboration and preventing owners from making the most of their vessels. "Giving owners a clearer view of fleet performance and operational status paves the way for building a more constructive relationship. Wallem has an opportunity to grow by taking the initiative in tackling the shortcomings of the traditional model," he says.
Clarity is key to making better decisions and ultimately improving performance, according to Coles. It will help at a fleet-level by maximising asset utilisation, at a vessel-level by helping individual ships run at peak operational capacity, and at an owner-level by helping them address ever more stringent regulatory requirements and get to grips with emerging trends such as digitalisation.
"We want to be consultative experts and provide world-class support to owners as they grapple with industry-wide challenges such as IMO's sulphur cap and the menace of cyber-threats, whilst maintaining a competitive edge in an increasingly tight market," Coles says.

Teahupo'o Break
Loosely translated, Teahupo'o means "to sever the head" or "place of skulls."Recognized by Transworld Surf as one of the Top 10 Deadliest Waves in the world, the waves that break near the Tahitian village of Teahupo'o are fast, heavy and unforgiving. Storms as far away as New Zealand, Australia and Antarctica produce waves that can take as long as 10 days to arrive at Teahupo'o. Due to the depth of the ocean, swells start to feel the ocean floor only about a half mile off shore, their open-ocean energy largely unimpeded until they finally reach the reef at Teahupo'o. There, the reef shelf surges the swell from a 150-foot depth to the 20-foot depth of the surf zone. Altogether, this produces massive, heavy, towering waves that break on top ofthe razor-sharp reefs.
Ryan found a trench in a reef crack and waited for the perfect wave to break. "We got into the water and we were waiting for a set to come. The sea was flat, when we could see a small bump forming at the surface in the distance. Then everyone started to whistle and suddenly the bump turned into a 15-footwall. I took a deep breath, dove and felt immediately the pressure rising in my ears. I turned back and saw this gigantic spinning cloud."


Public speaking can be a daunting task especially if one isn't used to delivering speeches in front of a live audience but thankfully there are now many public speaking schools to develop one's skills and help one overcome stage fright. Stage fright is one of the most common factors that hinders you to deliver a flawless speech as delivering speeches in front of a crowd can be a very nerve wracking experience. Usually, it all boils down to self esteem issues and most people try to overcome it on their own but nowadays, there's the option to combat these issues and effectively improve your skills in the process by attending an actual public speaking school. Click here!
Public speaking schools at www.publicspeaking.school aren't only designed to combat your nerves and stage fright, it is also set up to teach you more about the art of public speaking itself and provide you with the skills and necessary tools to improve and be better at it. Although there are many classes or help sessions to rid of stage fright and nervousness, there are many cases that it can only do so much. These cases we are talking about is the kind of innate nervousness that has been embedded in a person's system because of trauma and the like. Not only do people who suffer from trauma find public speaking very terrifying, they also see attending classes as equally scary. Therapy and hypnosis may be the only way to counter this serious issue and only until a few sessions of this might help make the patient overcome his or her initial nerves so he or she may attempt to attend classes for public speaking.
Many people find the prospect of taking classes to overcome their shyness when delivering speeches to crowds equally daunting as the very reason of them attending such classes and can be very difficult to deal with. It is possible that many of the people who take such classes have had the opportunity to speak in public but have screw up fantastically and now want more than ever to not do it again. Preparation is key with public speaking which is why you should evaluate yourself whether or not you truly are capable and ready to take on such a task and not dive into it with very little experience and prep time because beyond that lies a lot of disappointment that can potentially lead to depression. You can perhaps start small and by that we mean practicing on your own in front of a mirror and when you think you've mastered that, move on to your group of friends or family and be able to get feedback from them.

Congestion Charge fines to increase in New Year
TfL is planning to increase the Congestion Charge Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) from 2 January to up to £160 to encourage greater compliance.
TfL confirms Congestion Charge fines to increase in New Year
According to TfL, there has been a 12% increase in the number of motorists being issued with Congestion Charge PCNs over the last five years – from around 1.3 million in 2011/12 to around 1.5 million in 2016/17 – which it says provides a clear indicator that the effectiveness of the fines is now waning.
Currently the PCN is set at £130, dropping to £65 if paid within 14 days, but the increase – which follows a public consultation – will see the charge rise to £160 and £80 respectively.
Paul Cowperthwaite, TfL's general manager for road user charging, said: "The new PCN level will help improve compliance and also encourage people to consider cheaper and more active alternative forms of travel."
Later this year, TfL is also proposing to increase PCNs for offences which take place on its road network, subject to a required Secretary of State review.

For many years, the presence of leukocytes in tumors had been thought to be a consequence of a failed attempt at cancer cell destruction. However, in the past decade it has emerged that tumors are not only effective in escaping from immune-mediated rejection, they also modify certain inflammatory cell types to render them tumor promoting rather than tumor suppressive. Indeed, inflammatory cells are an important component of the tumor microenvironment, and numerous clinical studies have established a positive correlation between inflammation and cancer progression. This conference will cover the latest research on the roles of inflammation and inflammatory cell subtypes on cancer initiation and progression. A special focus will be placed on emerging findings regarding the contributions of the host microbiome and infectious agents in eliciting an initial inflammatory response, and how that predisposes to specific types of cancer. Throughout the meeting there will be an emphasis placed not only on the mechanisms underlying the critical functions of infection and inflammation in cancers, but also on how to therapeutically target these processes in cancer. A critical component of this conference on "Inflammation, Infection and Cancer" will be the joint sessions held with the companion meeting on "Immune Evolution in Cancer", emphasizing the latest results in understanding and therapeutically targeting the functions of different immune cells in the tumor microenvironment.

With the Hayek family controlling nearly 40 percent of The Swatch Group, how do you think the family influence impacts the type of corporate

The Swatch Group and Cultural Uniqueness
This activity is important because as a manager, you must be able to understand the effect of cultural differences within and across countries on your business. Different countries and societies demand cross-cultural literacy in managers.
The goal of this exercise is to demonstrate your understanding of cultural differences and how they influence business decisions. To be successful, many companies need to adapt their products and services to the local culture.
Read the case and answer the questions that follow.
The Swatch Group (swatchgroup.com) with its headquarters in Biel, Switzerland (Europe), is a manufacturer of watches and jewelry. The company was founded in 1983 by Lebanese-born Nicolas Hayek from the merging of Allgemeine Gesellschaft der Schweizerischen Uhrenindustrie and Société Suisse pour l'Industrie Horlogère. It is now the world's biggest watchmaker.
Nicolas's daughter, Nayla Hayek, has been chair of the board of directors of the Swatch Group since her father's death in 2010, and she is also CEO of the luxury jeweler Harry Winston Inc., which was acquired by the Swatch Group in 2013. Georges Nicolas "Nick" Hayek Jr. has been the CEO and president of the Swatch Group since 2003. Today, the Hayek family controls nearly 40 percent of the company.
Swatch and its 37 global subsidiaries employ about 37,000 people, and the company's revenue is about 9 billion Swiss francs (CHF), or about $9 billion in U.S. dollars. The company's headquarters in Biel sits on the language border between French- and German-speaking parts of Switzerland and is, by design, bilingual and culturally diverse. In fact, everything that Swatch engages in is based on diversity and culture. This cultural diversity is embedded in its overall brand and global strategizing.
For example, many of the Swatch brands have become cultural icons among a strong core following of customers in the global marketplace. Some even talk about the "Swatch Revolution" that began when Nicolas Hayek founded the company. It was the combination of legendary Swiss watch making (with the Swiss being famous for watch brands such as Patek Philippe, Rolex, Jaeger-LeCoultre) and the unexpected appearance of an affordable plastic watch that turned the watch world upside down.
Suddenly, a watch was more than a way to measure time. It was a new individualized culture, a new language, and a way to speak from the heart without words. By definition, "swatch" means a sample of material or color, oftentimes referring to a small piece of fabric. It is remarkable how Swatch has been able to develop culturally unique watches while also building the fabric for a globally integrated world by its watch making.
The Swatch Group's brands go far beyond the iconic Swatch watches, though. They also include top Swiss brands like Blancpain, Breguet, and Omega along with unique and classic products such as Balmain, Calvin Klein watches and jewelry, Certina, Flik Flak, Glashütte, Hamilton, Harry Winston, Jaquet Droz, Léon Hatot, Longines, Mido, Original, Rado, Tissot, Tourbillon, and Union Glashütte. These brands form the "art" of Swatch—a focus that is almost always emphasized upfront in the company's annual report and something the Swatch Group nurtures in various ways, such as via its Instagram account.
On Swatch's Instagram (instagram.com/swatch), the storyline is clear. Swatch wants you to create your own unique way of accessorizing by the use of a Swatch watch. A person can showcase his or her individualized Swatch use by tagging #MySwatch. The new line of "Skin" watches also helps users "dance with the unknown," break down barriers, and make #YourMove with Skin. The product is minimalist in style but unique, stylish, yet culturally diverse—much like Swatch has created its cultural uniqueness for decades in the global marketplace. Swatch's own description of its brand captures this cultural uniqueness:
"Everyone knows a Swatch when they see one. There's clearly something that makes Swatch different from every other watch brand. What is it? The look, the colors, the plastic? The design, perhaps, or the fact that it's Swiss made and versatile enough to be worn with almost anything. There are Swatch watches for people of all ages, and a Swatch for every occasion. But there's more to Swatch than market coverage. Swatch is an attitude, an approach to life, a way of seeing. The sight of a Swatch excites emotion. Wearing one is a way to communicate, to speak without speaking. Heart to heart."
The Swatch Group is not just about being culturally diverse or a company marketing products globally to customers of different cultures. In many respects the company is actually creating the values, beliefs, norms, and artifacts that form a globally unique culture worldwide. So, Swatch's large-scale production of watches and jewelry is used to help create individually and culturally based customer uniqueness.

With the Hayek family controlling nearly 40 percent of The Swatch Group, how do you think the family influence impacts the type of corporate culture in the company? What about the company's international culture being impacted by the Hayek family?
Many of the Swatch brands have become cultural icons among a strong core following of customers in the global marketplace. Some even talk about the "Swatch Revolution" that began when Nicolas Hayek founded the company. Why do you think Swatch has such a strong cultural following?
Woolworths' Corporate Responsibility Strategy
This activity is important because as a manager, you must be able to recognize doing good as it pertains to your business. To do this, you must have an understanding of the ethical, social responsibility, and sustainability issues around the world.
The goal of this exercise is to demonstrate your understanding of the dilemmas businesses face as they pursue social responsibility initiatives. Identifying the correct course of action is a complex task that often lacks a clear direction.
The Woolworths Group (woolworthsgroup.com.au) is an Australian conglomerate corporation founded in 1924. The headquarters is in Bella Vista in New South Wales. Colloquially known as "Woolies," the company has extensive retail interests in the Oceania region, particularly in Australia and New Zealand, but it also has a foothold in India. The Woolworths Group consists of three core businesses (Woolworths Food Group, Endeavour Drinks, and Portfolio Businesses); employs more than 200,000 people; and has revenue of about 60 billion Australian dollars, or 46 billion in U.S. dollars. Across the three core businesses, Woolworths has 13 different business subsidiaries.
Integrating these 13 subsidiaries into a corporate social responsibility program is a challenge for a company with more than 200,000 employees and diverse interests. To accomplish its objective, Woolworths Group's Corporate Responsibility Strategy 2020 identifies 20 corporate responsibility and sustainability goals that the company plans to implement by the year 2020. These goals cover a broad range of Woolworths' stakeholders (e.g., customers, team members, suppliers, and local communities in which Woolworths operates). Woolworths' Corporate Responsibility Strategy is based on a framework of People, Planet, and Prosperity.
The focus on People is about encouraging diversity. The target goals include striving for gender equity by targeting at least 40 percent of executive and senior manager positions to be held by women. Woolworths is also setting a goal of no salary wage gap between male and female employees of equivalent positions at all levels of the company. And rooted in Australian business, the company is embracing diversity by increasing the number of Indigenous employees in line with the company's stated commitments under the Australian Federal Government's Employment Parity Initiative.
The focus on the Planet includes two major initiatives. Woolworths is working toward zero food waste going to landfills. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 20 percent of what goes into municipal landfills is food. Woolworths is also trying to reduce its carbon emissions or footprint by 10 percent. Many of our daily activities (e.g., using electricity, driving a car, or disposing of waste) cause greenhouse gas emissions. A carbon footprint is defined as the total set of greenhouse gas emissions caused by an individual, event, organization, or product, and it is expressed as a carbon dioxide equivalent. Such emissions trap heat in the atmosphere, which according to most scientists contributes to disruptive climate change.
The focus on Prosperity is founded on trusted relationships. Woolworths' targets are to achieve a top quartile ranking in how the business engages fairly and equitably with its suppliers, as measured by independent supplier surveys. Inspiration is also built into prosperity in the form of the company implementing activities to inspire customers to consume all of Woolworths' products in a healthy, sustainable way. The most transparent Prosperity initiative, though, is to invest the equivalent of 1 percent of total earnings in community partnerships and programs.
Woolworths' People-Planet-Prosperity strategies drive how the company does business. The strategies state that Woolworths is committed to hard work and that its integrity is resolute. The foundation is a down-to-earth culture and family friendly values. Every aspect of Woolworths' business exists for the purpose of making the customers' lives simpler, easier, and better. Underpinning Woolworths' operations is a working relationship built on mutual trust with suppliers. More than 80 percent of the company's suppliers have been strategic partners with Woolworths for a decade or longer.

What challenges do you think a company like Woolworths Group is facing when developing and implementing a companywide corporate social responsibility strategy that takes into account the more than 200,000 employees, diverse interests, and stakeholders?
Woolworths Group is trying to reduce its carbon emissions or footprint by 10 percent. Based on where we are as a world, is 10 percent enough of a reduction? Perhaps global warming is not real, what do you think?

Union and Confederate forces clash at Battle of Darbytown Road
A Confederate attempt to regain ground that had been lost around Richmond, Virginia, is thwarted when Union troops turn back General Robert E. Lee's assault at the Battle of Darbytown and New Market Roads.
In the summer of 1864, the campaign between Lee and Union General Ulysses S. Grant ground to a halt at Petersburg, 25 miles south of Richmond. The two great armies settled into trenches for a siege, and the lines soon extended all the way back to Richmond. Grant periodically attacked portions of the Rebel defenses but was not successful. On September 29, Union forces captured part of Richmond's outer defense at the Battle of New Market Heights. AlthoughRichmond was still safely in Confederate hands, Lee was concerned about the new position of the Yankee troops.
Lee sent two divisions under generals Charles Field and Robert Hoke to move around the end of the Union line. Lee hoped that the Federal flank could be turned and the Confederates could regain the defensive works lost the week before. On the morning of October 7, the Confederates moved down Darbytown Road and around the Union right flank and attacked 1,700 cavalrymen. The assault sent the Yankees into a quick retreat. The Confederates captured eight cannons and drove the Union troops into the breastworks of General Alfred Terry. Alerted to the advancing Confederates, Terry summoned reinforcements to his position.
By the time the Confederates worked their way through the thick foliage, they faced a strong Union force. Lee ordered an attack anyway. Brigades advanced one at a time, and the Yankee artillery tore the lines apart. By the afternoon, the Confederates withdrew to their original position. They lost 700 men while the Yankees lost only 400, and no ground was gained. Lee did not make another attempt to regain the ground and focused instead on setting up defenses closer to Richmond.
