Today is Friday, March 29
Time to wear a bit of red to show your support for the troops!
Today, March 29 in
1903 A regular news service began between New York and London
on Marconi's wireless.
Bonehead arrested for attempting to
set 16 military vehicles on fire
Smoking is one of the leading causes of statistics.

We need not worry so much about what man descends from--it's
what he descends to that shames the human race.

I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area, so
I went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there
that my bags never showed up. She smiled and told me not to
worry because she was a trained professional and I was in
good hands.
"Now," she asked me, has your plane arrived yet?"
Believe it or not, that is indeed standard procedure at United
Airlines. She DID ask me exactly that.
I have not flown with United since that day,
Michael Gordon,
Brandon,
The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office arrested a man for
attempting to set 16 government vehicles on fire early Wednesday
Deputies responded to the Military Recruitment Center on W
Brandon Boulevard around 7 a.m. for the report that 16
government vehicles and one civilian vehicle had the gas tanks
pried open with rags and sticks placed inside the tanks.
The vehicles are the property of the U.S. Army, Navy, National
Guard, Air Force and Marine Corps.
During the investigation, the suspect returned to the location.
Michael Gordon, 27, was taken into custody.
During an interview, Gordon made statement about wanting to blow
up the vehicles, because, "the generals won't surrender to the
Kingdom of God."
The sheriff's office said Gordon referred to himself as "Michael
the Arc Angel."
He had two lighters on him and admitted to having charcoal
lighter fluid as well.
Gordon is facing criminal mischief and attempted arson charges.
He has no prior criminal history in Hillsborough County.
He is in the Orient Road Jail.

Re: Spreadheet and word processor
Dear DearWebby
Do you have a free spreadsheet and word processor compatable
with MS-Office Word, Excel, Powerpoint.
Dear JR
Yes, Open Office and Office Libre.
That is what industry and commerce have switched to.
It is free, uses the Open Standard that does not care if you
use Windows, Mac, or Linux.
The programs in Open Office and Office Libre are similar to MS
Office, but without the high price.
Open Office and Office Libre are free.

Upon retiring from the service, my husband, Don, needed a new
ID card showing he had gone from active duty to retirement
status. But the photo taken of him was not particularly good
and he wasn't at all quiet about it.
"If I have to carry that ID around with me for the rest of my
life," he complained to the photographer, "I want a better
picture."
"Want a better picture?" asked the photographer defiantly.
"Then bring us a better face!"
A lion woke up one morning feeling really rowdy and mean. He
went out and cornered a small monkey and roared, "Who is
mightiest of all jungle animals?"
The trembling monkey says, "You are, mighty lion!
Later, the lion confronts a wildebeast and fiercely bellows,
"Who is the mightiest of all jungle animals?"
The terrified wildebeast stammers, "Oh great lion, you are by
far the mightiest animal in the jungle!"
On a roll now, the lion swaggers up to an elephant and roars,
"Who is mightiest of all jungle animals?"
Fast as lightning, the elephant snatches up the lion with his
trunk, slams him against a tree half a dozen times. The lion
feels like he had been run over by a safari wagon. The elephant
then stomps on the lion till he looks
like a corn tortilla and ambles away.
The lion lets out a moan of pain, lifts his head weakly and
hollers after the elephant, "Just because you don't know the
answer, you don't have to get so upset about it!"
Salt for BBQ Flare Ups
Keep some salt handy when grilling.  When you get flare ups from
fat or juices dripping in the grill, just toss some salt on the
flames and they will die down. Always have a fire extinguisher
or hose handy, just in case.
NEVER EVER use water if frying oil flares up!
A bit of patience does the same trick.
Those drippings just flare and are gone in a few seconds.
However, if you are making French Fries on the BBQ, and the
oil catches on fire, do not throw salt and especially not water
at it.
Napalm is much safer than a grease or oil fire with water
thrown into it. A two gallon pot of burning grease can make a
fire and mushroom cloud, that can be seen from space, if you
throw a cup of water into it.
Always have a lid or cover handy. Just put a cover on it,
then calmly, and with no need to hurry, turn the burners off
or move the pan or pot away from the hot area. A frying pan,
even a piece of plywood or gyprock, any cover will work fine.
Artwork in the eye of a needle.
A captain and several of his officers were returning to the ship
after a long evening ashore. As they climbed the gangway the
Captain threw up all over himself.
Pointing to a seaman above him he shouted, "Give that man five
days in the brig for vomiting!"
The following morning the captain was checking the log and saw
that the young seaman had been sentenced to ten days and asked
the chief mate why.
"Well Sir, when we got you undressed we found that he`d also
crapped in your pants."
In the window of a Kentucky appliance store:
"Don't kill your wife.
Let our washing machine do the dirty work."
On a shopping mall marquee: "Archery Tournament-Ears pierced"
Outside a country shop: "We buy junk and sell antiques."
In the vestry of a New England church: "Will the last person to
leave please see that the perpetual light is extinguished."
The flight home from a recent business trip was pretty empty.
So the pilot made a simple request of the passengers.
"We have a little extra room tonight, folks," he said over
the PA system. "So if you wouldn't mind, please take a window
seat so the competition thinks the plane is full."

Q: Writing a simple SQL Server 2005 dynamic sql I am writing a fairly simple SQL query in SQL 2005, but am running into an issue and can't figure out what is wrong.
For documentation purposes, the query has to be a dynamic sql
A snippet of my query is:
@RecCreatorID int
....
....
IF (@RRecCreatorID IS NOT NULL)
    Begin
        Set @strSQL = @strSQL + ' AND RecCreatorID = @RecCreatorID'
    End

However, when I run PRINT @strSQL, what I get is
And RecCreatorID = @RecCreatorID
How can I get the actual value of @RecCreatorID to be displayed?

A: @RecCreatorID int
....
....
IF (@RRecCreatorID IS NOT NULL)
    Begin
        Set @strSQL = @strSQL + ' AND RecCreatorID =' +  cast(@RecCreatorID as varchar(50))
    End

another solution is to use sp_executesql to execute query

A: Use sp_executesql. That stored procedure will accept parameters which you can then use inside your dynamic SQL (parameter substitution). For example:
Set @strSQL = @strSQL + ' AND RecCreatorID = @RecCreatorID_PARAM'

exec sp_executesql @SQL,
N'@RecCreatorID_PARAM int',
@RecCreatorID_PARAM = @RecCreatorID

Although this doesn't do much for displaying purposes, it's still a better way of handling dynamic SQL than concatenation, imho.

Fashion Fridays ~ René Bouët-Willaumez (1900 – 1979)
By Mr Geo Neo 6 November 2015 7 July 2019 no comments
René Bouët-Willaumez was a French aristocrat born in Brittany, in 1900. After abandoned engineering for art, he began working for Vogue in 1929. Joining the industry in the midst of change, where photography was becoming the dominant means of reporting on fashion trends. This, however, did not hold Willaumez back. His unhesitating and incisive ink drawings illustrated the hubris and elegance of fashion in a way that had not been seen carving out a demand for himself.
Within just a few years, Willaumez had honed his craft and his monogram "RBW" became a familiar fixture on the pages and covers of Vogue magazine. By the mid-1930s he was heralded as top of his profession, with his only substantial equal being Carl Erickson. Willaumez was a few years younger than Erickson, yet a professional, sometimes fractious, rivalry developed between the two and remained through the course of their careers.
Their work shared notable similarities. An untutored eye would be forgiven not distinguishing between the two. Erickson's was softer in contrast to Willaumez's crisper line. Erickson's medium of choice was charcoal allowing him to create numerous subtle variety of edge. Whereas Willaumez used a pen, allowing for precision and an assured response. The two almost certainly recognised their essential differences and work towards widening them. Their paths inevitably crossed on many occasions, and though they were not friends, they found mutual professional recognition.
Willaumez had moved around a lot from Paris to London and then New York. Throughout the 1940s, whilst in New York, the American editor of Vogue made good use of his à la mode style. Willaumez worked with Vogue up until the early 1950s, where his appearance in the magazine abruptly drop. His work last appeared in the American Vogue in 1953. He did contribute to the occasional European edition, but 1958 saw his association with the magazine end. He left New York and returned to France.
Erickson, who was still working for Vogue, was suffering from failing health died in 1958. Willaumez, retired by then and remarried (for a third time). He died a few years later in 1979, at the age of seventy-nine years old. The passing of Erickson and the retirement of Willaumez concluded a chapter in Vogue's and concurrently magazine history. By the early 1960s, magazines were using photography exclusively.
If you are interested in finding out more about René Bouët-Willaumez, I highly recommend picking up Fashion Drawings in Vogue: René Bouët-Willaumez. It is filled with his pen and ink illustrations, many in full colour and does a great job of painting a picture of the industry at the height Willaumez's popularity.

Background: Postpartum heammorrhage (PPH), defined as blood loss greater than or equal to 500 ml within 24 hours after birth, is the leading cause of maternal deaths globally and in India. Misoprostol is an important option for PPH management in setting where oxytocin (the gold standard for PPH prevention and treatment) in not available or not feasible to use. For the substantial number of deliveries which take place at home or at lower level heatlh facilities in India, misoprostol pills can be adminstered to prevent PPH. The standard approach using misoprostol is to administer it prophylactically as primary prevention (600 mcg). An alternative strategy could be to administer misoprostol only to those who are at high risk of having PPH i.e. as secondary prevention.
Methods: This study reports on the relative cost per person of a strategy involving primary versus secondary prevention of PPH using misoprostol. It is based on a randomized cluster trial that was conducted in Bijapur district in Karnataka, India between December 2011 and March 2014 among pregnant women to compare two community-level strategies for the prevention of PPH: primary and secondary. The analysis was conducted from the government perspective using an ingredient approach.
Results: The cluster trial showed that there were no significant differences in clinical outcomes between the two study arms. However, the results of the cost analysis show that there is a difference of INR 6 (US$ 0.1) per birth for implementing the strategies primary versus secondary prevention. In India where 14.9 million births take place at sub-centres and at home, this additional cost of INR 6 per birth translates to an additional cost of INR 94 (US$ 1.6) million to the government to implement the primary prevention compared to the secondary prevention strategy.
Conclusion: As clinical outcomes did not differ significantly between the two arms in the trial, taking into account the difference in costs and potential issues with sustainability, secondary prevention might be a more strategic option.

The last few years has changed the way Indian audiences consume entertainment. Today a sizeable population consume content online including movies, online TV shows, and text. It's the TV shows, in particular, which have carved a huge fan following for themselves. 2017 is the year when many of them return; here are the ones we can't wait to watch.
It was a sweet finish when Jeetu, Naveen, Yogi, and Mandal were able to secure seed funding for their start-up. A great journey filled with laughter, romance, struggles, and pitchers of beer. Now the real test begins for the quartet, the test of building a company. We got a sneak peak of what they were up to in the last scene of TVF's Permanent Roommates and it has left us nothing but intrigued.
One of the earliest web-based shows, this show captures the lives of a young couple as they plan their wedding after a three-year long-distance relationship. Permanent Roommates managed to capture the heart of many couples with their relatable storytelling. We saw ourselves in Tanya and Mikesh as they struggled to plan their wedding, manage their parents, and deal with the realisation that they will soon become parents. After two amazing seasons, many await season three to see what new experiences will Tanya and Mikesh face together.
This sitcom came as a wave of fresh air at a time when saas-bahu serials ruled the television screens. From sophisticated Maya Sarabhai's disdain for her daughter-in-law Monisha's middle class antics to poor Sahil stuck between wife and mother; add to this impish Indravadan and the indescribable Roshesh, you got yourself perhaps one of India's finest shows. When it was told that they were returning after a hiatus of ten years as an online TV show, good days had finally arrived.
This show concentrated on the things that matter the most in a relationship; little things. Season one which had just five episodes managed to strike a chord in a way many online shows couldn't. The fights, the conversations, the dancing, and the eating; whatever Kavya and Dhruv did was among the most adorable things on the web last year. We hope the trend continues this year too.
When you add family and a road trip, fireworks are expected to follow. That's what we exactly saw. However, the fireworks were so relatable that within the first ten minutes of the first episode, the show struck a chord. A script with the right blend of humour, reality, and emotions along with a commendable cast made the show a blockbuster hit as the first season ended. Who knew a show on a road trip with siblings would become so famous.
While these spectacular TV shows are yet to return, until that time, why don't you visit Sony Liv and watch the best of TV online. From classic shows like Aahat and CID to today's most watched ones like Indian Idol and The Kapil Sharma Show, Sony Liv is sure to keep you entertained.

This is a known bug . It should fix itself for you if you fully EXIT the programme using the tray icon and then restart the programme from "All Programmes".
Let us know if that solves the problem .
Last edited on 20th Oct, 2010 17:23 Thanks, Anthony, restarting does fix it.
Apologies for not noticing the report of this bug in the New Release thread until after I had posted, but I was not expecting detailed bug reports in such a general thread.
One more problem: Firefox 3.6.11 is detected as 3.6.10 and therefore stated to be insecure and to require an update.
Problems with Ff are being reviewed here . If your's is not the same as Mr. OKEK , then post back here ; please don't jump on to his thread unless your problem is the same/identical , but post back here .
I re-ran the scan and the second time Firefox was correctly detected as Version 3.6.11.
Great . Pleased you are sorted .

Hello! I would love to participate, if you are still seeking guest bloggers! I have a little business in which I do both handmade jewelry and recycle vintage and yard sale cast-offs (furniture and home wares) by painting bold graphics on them, changing them from an unwanted piece to a conversation piece. My blog has some photos, but there is also a flickr link there, if you are interested. My little business is just getting started, but I'm raring to go!
Leona, 43 yr old Mom of one 4-almost-5 yr old girl. I am a professional illustrator, and freelance out of my home. But to stay attached to some of my painting "roots", I like to paint ad recycle items and paint kids' rooms.
I like stuff. I like making stuff, fixing stuff, painting stuff. And I'm always looking to create something new, or give something old a new twist. The first project was one salvaged and unsuspecting kitchen-type chair which received a couple coats of paint and a huge red dahlia painted on it. Which is why my shop is called "Very Happy Chair".
Follow along as I'm getting ready to morph this hobby into a craft business. Bumps and all.
I would love to have you as a guest blogger! I'm be emailing you shortly.

From Uncle Bob's Vintage Porn Stash
I've often had to scold Bob and Jack and Quartermain for their disgusting sexual misconduct and promiscuity - it's my duty as a moral and intellectual authority and part a being a role model for the fellas. But lately we have seen a rash of rape hoaxes from furious scorned women and they probly went down just like this: a fella is taking his ease, reading a great book and minding his own business - when some scarlet harlot comes along, throws her leg over him and has her way! It makes me furious just to think about it!!! And the next day, when the exhausted fella is at home trying to finish his book and fails to phone little Miss Floozy - the rape accusations start!!!! HAR HAR HAR!!!!
Yannow I watched the fall of Bill Cosby and I honestly don't know what to make of that. I remember when the accusations first surfaced about Bill Clinton raping and extorting gummers from interns in the Whitehouse - I honestly didn't believe it at first either. I thought a man would have to be nuts to risk his family, his, reputation and his credibility right under the nose of his wife, the mass media and the American public. Yeah, I was that naïve. Of course the depravity and dishonesty of the Clintons is now a matter of public record... but back then I thought it was all muck raking and a set up.
Cosby is different though. He preached solid family values. He demanded that blacks hold themselves to higher standards. He told niggers to pull up their damned pants, speak English and learn how to read. That infuriated the usual race hustlers because they couldn't stand up to a black man that held them in contempt - in public, no less. I can see such men (and women) manufacturing evidence against Cosby, and I can see the liberal swine in the judiciary going along with it. We've seen the left crucify heretics and apostates before. The narrative must stand!
Then I wonder if I am being as naïve with Cosby as I was with Clinton.

He told niggers to pull up their damned pants, speak English and learn how to read. That infuriated the usual race hustlers because they couldn't stand up to a black man that held them in contempt - in public, no less.
There you go.
What bothered me about the accusations against Cosby is that they made no sense. Why drug some bimbo when the willing women are lined up and advertising their skill set? And if Cosby is being accused, then who else?
Cosby has no motivation to assault anyone. This whole business is a set up and the accusations are false. A few of these sluts may be experiencing buyer's remorse, but I'm betting the rest of them are ultimately looking for a payday. There's money here, but step one is to convict the target in criminal court.
The black racists are all members of the hard Left, and will do absolutely anything to win. When Hitlery was defeated Her Royal Self couldn't even come out in person to tell her followers that the show was over. And the Left wants someone like that in the Oval Office? If the Left wants to see WW III, that's a good place to begin.
As for old Slick Willy, without saying just how I know this, I can tell you a few things about Slick that are true and correct. One, he's bright. We're talking off the scale brain power. Two, he has a grasp of practical application that makes him unique. People with his IQ relate to the average man about as well as the readers of this blog relate to a society of howler monkeys. The demographics don't match and never will. Three, Slick has the morals of a horny alley cat. He never raped anyone. They offered, and his SOP is 'Hell yes!' Hitlery knew this going into the marriage, which was a marriage of convenience for both of them.
So they tried to barbecue Slick and it blew up in their faces. His popularity soared, and he's still popular.
President Trump is being attacked on all sides, but this isn't his first rodeo. He's tough and smart; read his bio and see for yourself. I predict Trump will win, Cosby will be retried and found not guilty, and Hitlery will never really fade away - you'll hear her howling out in the wilderness until they screw her into the ground.
And the writing is coming along, thanks. I read your blog on a regular basis - it's on my short list.

me too, glen.
cosby was all over tv until he said, 'marry the mother of your kids, clean up, get a job, and pay your way. then you'll be respected.'.
he disappeared overnight.
his wife is beautiful, and, as said above, women would stand in line for him [or for president trump]. why jump him now that he is aged? it is like every other ambush. like wolves wait for weakness in a victim, the left and other filth wait their chance. of course the media will play it any way the wolves say to play it.
i would have to see it with my very own eyes, in person, and then i would question the accuracy of my eyesight.

I keep hearing that Blowjob Bill was a genius. The reason I dismissed his rape accusations at first were exactly the same as those that WL has for Cosby: Clinton literally had nothing to gain and everything to lose. And I really don't get the Clintons at all. It's like Deb says... Normally geriatrics are like Cosby - they want to retire, enjoy life, harass the kids and maybe do the odd bit of charity work to keep life interesting. But the Clintons won't go away. America has firmly rejected Hillary and it's guaranteed she will not get another run at the presidency because her health and sanity aren't up to it.
But I suppose I am a Dirt Person, and will never understand the doings of Cloud people...
Slick Willy is retired, and he's busy enjoying the time he has left. He knew this going into the double wide at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, even with the old ball and chain agitating about her run at the Presidency.
Hitlery is the only kid in the treehouse club that didn't get a cookie, and she's a bit resentful. She stepped aside for Obongo, so that's eight years wasted, but now it's HER turn. Only, well, it isn't. Herself isn't going to forget that, nor is she about to forget the lack of support she got from Obongo and the First Porch Monkey. You're quite right when you stated that Herself's health (mental and physical) won't take another campaign.
I note that Slick didn't play a large part in Hitlery's run for the outhouse. Ironically, had she allowed him to do so, ex-President Bill Clinton could have told her what she needed to do to win. She wouldn't have stood for it, but he's been there and done it - twice.
You know, the treehouse club used to mean elderly white, then the elderly part got changed with JFK. Next it was 'whites only', and Obama changed that. I think it's still, No Girls Allowed!
Except, you know, women of questionable moral standards who are hotter than a five dollar pistol on Saturday night, and who I wouldn't take home to meet my folks even if a brain injury made me dumber than an elected Democrat.

Q: Unable to give keypresses from jenkins I am trying to give some keypresses from Jenkins and possibly type something unto the notepad. the program works fine when I ran it from cmd manually. but it does not work when I run it using Jenkins. Why is this happening? is it even possible to give key presses from Jenkins?
Here's the code which I'm trying to run in Jenkins
var ks = require('node-key-sender');

function test() {
    ks.startBatch()
        .batchTypeKey('a', 500)
        .batchTypeKey('b', 500)
        .batchTypeKey('c', 500)
        .batchTypeKey('d', 500)
        .batchTypeKey('e', 500)
        .batchTypeKey('f', 500)
        .batchTypeKey('g', 500)
        .batchTypeKey('h', 7000)
        .batchTypeKey('i', 2000)
        .batchTypeKey('j', 500)
        .batchTypeKey('k', 500)
        .batchTypeKey('l', 500)
        .batchTypeKey('y', 500)
        .batchTypeKey('z', 500)
        .sendBatch();
}

setTimeout(()=>{
    console.log("starting");
    test();
},1000)

note-
The code does seem to run and output the line "starting". Irrespective of the place from which I ran it.
ie. cmd/Jenkins.
but it does not give keypresses when I run it using Jenkins.


Why did the Cubs fire Dale Sveum?
The increased use of analytics has also given rise to the loquaciousness of the decision-makers. You can pick any of the new age general managers in baseball and find one of their statements when a somewhat controversial decision is made and interchange them. When they fire a manager, it's generally even longer. The explanation is convoluted and rife with semantics designed to protect their own interests.
This was evident again today when Theo Epstein – someone who clearly loves to hear his own voice whatever the circumstances – gave this long-winded statement as to why the Cubs' hand-picked manager to oversee their extended rebuild, Dale Sveum, was fired following a 66-96 campaign. The accolades and qualifications Epstein gave to justify Sveum's firing are little more than a dressing up of the dismissal of an employee.
Was it justified? Did Sveum deserve to take the fall for what was an organizational failure? Should the Cubs have been better than they were?
Considering the expectations (I had the Cubs' record exactly right in my preseason predictions) they weren't supposed to be contenders. They traded away veterans Alfonso Soriano and Scott Feldman during the season. They were functioning with journeyman Kevin Gregg as the closer. A team like the Cubs isn't meant to be judged based on their record alone which lends more credence to the idea that Sveum is being thrown overboard to quiet the rising number of critics wondering when they'll get Red Sox-like results from Epstein.
With the number of prospects they have on the way up, if the young players like Starlin Castro, Anthony Rizzo, Darwin Barney and Jeff Samardzija take steps back, then the manager is going to take the fall for it. That doesn't mean he gets the blame.
Much like the Red Sox failure in 2003 was passed off on Grady Little's call not to pull a clearly tired Pedro Martinez in game seven of the ALCS against the Yankees, the Cubs are holding the manager in front of the GM, president and owner like a human shield. Little's choice in not yanking Martinez was due in part to an old school decision that if he was going to lose, he'd lose with his best. It was also done in part because the Epstein regime had made the conscious choice to go with a favorite concept of the stat guy in the closer by committee and didn't give Little a competent short reliever he could trust in a game of that magnitude. It all turned out fine as the Red Sox won the World Series the next year only after signing Keith Foulke, a legitimate closer. Crisis averted.
With the Cubs, Epstein has been lauded for his and GM Jed Hoyer's trades and restructuring of the minor league system. Whether or not that credit will bear fruit in the coming years for the new manager remains to be seen. Until they perform, prospects are only prospects.
Epstein's big name free agent signings have long been inconsistent. With the Red Sox, he was able to cover it up with John Henry's money. Whether that will be the case for the Cubs is as unknown as their young players' development. For the Cubs this season, he signed Edwin Jackson to a four year, $52 million deal. Jackson went 8-18 with an ERA of nearly five. He signed Kyuji Fujikawa to a two year, $9.5 million deal and Fujikawa wilted under the pressure as set-up man and closer before requiring Tommy John surgery. It cannot be said that these were worthwhile and cost-efficient signings.
When Epstein says, "Jed and I take full responsibility for that," as he discusses the state of the big league product, it's little more than a hollow accepting of responsibility. He's been on the job with the Cubs for two years and is ensconced in his job. There might be a small amount of pressure on him because of his reputation and the expectations that surround his high-profile hiring, lucrative contract of five years at $18.5 million and final say powers, but he's going to get at least two more years before he's on the firing line. Hoyer is Epstein's front man and is safe as well.
If the duo is taking "responsibility," what's the punishment? They'll get roasted on talk shows and in print for a while. Attention will be paid to who they hire as manager because GMs and team presidents, no matter how respected, generally get two managerial hirings before the focus of blame falls to them. For now, though, he's safe.
He says that Sveum isn't a "scapegoat," but then two paragraphs later says that the team needs a "dynamic, new voice…" It certainly sounds like scapegoating to me.
I'm not defending Sveum and many times when a firing of this kind is made, there are behind the scenes issues that the public isn't privy to. Epstein and Hoyer can fire Sveum if they want to. It's completely up to them. There's never been anything wrong with firing the manager for any reason that the front office wants to give. In fact, they don't even need to give a reason. "I felt like making a change," is a perfectly acceptable response.
However, to take the firing as an opportunity to provide a new line of defense of the front office and disguise it as a "we're all at fault" line of faux solidarity is an insult to the intelligence of any person who's been an observer of Epstein's behavior since he first came to prominence a decade ago as a 28 year old "genius" who was going to lead the game into a new age with his youth and creativity. Getting past the mask, he's little more than a younger and supposedly more handsome version of the 1960s era of GMs who threatened and bullied employees just because they could and had a job for life. It sounds like the common "blame the manager" rhetoric. The only difference is that it's camouflaged by a Yale graduate's skill with the language and ability to make circular sludge sound like the dulcet tones of a gifted tenor.
The firing of Sveum might be retrospectively seen as a the catalyst to the Cubs jumping into contention and breaking their World Series drought. Even if that happens, it can't be masqueraded as anything more than what it is: they're blaming the manager. No amount of verbal deftness will alter that fact whether it's coming from Epstein or anyone else.

Lost in translation? - An inside outsider's perspective to "ESG investing" in Japan: Arisa Kishigami(言語の壁を超えて - 日本のサステナブル投資を巡る実情の考察:岸上有沙)
Having spent the last 15 months sharing global developments with the Japanese RI community, perhaps it is high time to reverse the direction of the information flow.
Thanks to both the vocal and visible action by Japan's Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF), most people will be aware of the rising uptake of ESG (or Sustainable Investment by global terms) investing in Japan.
In just one year since GPIF made its first ESG-considered index investments in 2017, the estimated total sustainable investment AUM for Japan grew to be the largest in the Asia Pacific region[1].
One could argue that these figures are somewhat inflated, as it is largely due to the high levels of stated investor-company engagement activities, and "ESG integration", both of which could potentially be done without a substantial change in asset allocation and therefore embeds a risk of having claims without substance.
Yet what gets disclosed gets attention, and what gets measured gets debated, and in recognition of such issues, the revision to the Japanese Stewardship Code requests all managers to disclose the details of the voting direction and reason, as well as questioning the role of proxy advisors and investment consultants whose roles can be essential in delivering such action and transparency. Having also positioned the consideration of sustainability (including ESG factors) at the heart of principles of stewardship responsibilities, it is perhaps one of the most explicit and one-to-watch Stewardship Codes globally[2].
But whilst the Code has certainly been the backbone to the ESG-aligned investment by GPIF and engagement activities by its many existing and potential external managers, the trickle-down effect to other public pension funds has been less exciting.
This may change, with the additional amendment to the law underlying the management of public buffer funds in Japan[3]. Prior to the amendments, these public pension funds were given the flexibility to consider non-financial information at their discretion, focused only on equity investing. With the update in February this year, this passage has been extended to all assets under management, requesting all funds governed by this policy to take necessary action related to ESG aspects as they are perceived relevant in enhancing long term profits for the beneficiaries. This is by far the most explicit support by Japanese regulation on public pension funds to date to incorporate ESG and other "non-financial information", and may be the final push needed for action in the public asset owner space.
So what is the current status of the Japanese companies, who would be the target for investment, lending, and insurance underwriting both domestically and globally?
Sadly, there are several statistics to show how far behind Japan is, especially when it comes to human and labour management.
Ms. Murakami, Head of OECD Tokyo Centre was not shy to share some of these during the recent RI digital Japan conference[4]. According to OECD data sources, Japan is second from the bottom in both the percentage of women in management as well as women on boards, despite the relative improvements since the inception of the Corporate Governance Code. It is also in the bottom third when it comes to attractiveness for highly skilled migrant workers, and overseas university students.
Know the Chain assessment of supply chain labour management show Japanese companies in the research universe have a dismal average score of 17 out of 100[5], exposing the weakness in both supply chain management and addressing of social issues (but to put things in context, the global average score is also a low 29 out of 100).
When it comes to the environmental side, and in particular in relation to climate change, there is no shortage of commitments being made. Japan boasts the highest number of non-financial companies directly supporting the TCFD, second largest commitment to adopt Science-Based Targets, and the third largest to make commitments to moving to RE100 (renewable energy 100%) initiative.
Yet underneath the brave faces in the public eye, there is a sense of stress amongst the sustainability practitioners, teams, management of the companies. It comes as no surprise with EU taxonomy (and their global variations), TCFD, the constantly evolving world of data providers and standards, and the accelerated attention to social issues as a (I would say positive) by-product of the impacts of Covid-19 – all descending upon them in a sustainability "alphabet soup" in an alphabet not native to the local tongue.
Responsible investment/finance is but a word if no real action is taken by the underlying economic activities. In an effort to alleviate stress and to stimulate meaningful action, both public and private players have invested their time to create guidance documents filled with context, definitions, comparisons and case studies. This, in a country supposedly not appreciating talent with higher education.
The JPX Practical Handbook for ESG Disclosure[6] takes the reader through a four step process of understanding and executing ESG related actions. With all the noise and pressure to address the maze of individual data points, it is a welcoming piece that encourages companies in making sure the board level oversight and business strategy is thought through first. The multiplicity of meanings to the industry jargon word, "materiality" is explained (page 24-25), which may be worth noting in your discussion with the companies within Japan and beyond.
TCFD Guidance 2.0[7], the second iteration of guidance published by the TCFD Consortium, is a substantial 120 page document. Whether it's about understanding Japan's energy policy within which the energy sector sits in (page 84-84), or grappling with the approach to highly diversified companies of which there are many in Japan (page 61), this document may serve as a useful basis to have a more nuanced discussion with a Japanese company as an investor, bank, or insurance company.
A slightly less expected place to find a useful document, is the Life Insurance Association of Japan (LIAJ)'s Climate Change Starters Guide[8]. Starting with a sound summary of the issues and importance of Climate Change, it addresses the dual roles of an insurance company as an insurer and institutional investor, with content relevant beyond the insurance industry. Perhaps one of its key note of advice is the need to identify lead personals that can create a collaborative structure within the organisation. Whether a manufacturer, an asset manager or an insurance company, scenario planning and implementation cannot be done solely by the sustainability practitioner, nor by the investor relations department. Obvious though it seems, the art of internal collaboration is perhaps one of the biggest challenges organisations face globally, and the suggestive key team structures mentioned in the final (page 66) pages of this document may help kick start the process.
All three of the documents mentioned above have an abundance of case studies – from Kao's ESG materiality matrix, to NYK Holding's carbon free vessel plans, which can be used as the basis of understanding where existing practice is, and where future discussion could be led to. Having identified iron & steel, electricity, chemicals, petroleum and coal, automobiles and general trading as industries the LIAJ members felt they needed to engage with regarding the TCFD requirements, perhaps it is a document that ESG data providers and global CA100+ supporters should turn their attention for reference and collaboration too.
And last but not least, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has last month released a national action plan regarding business and human rights[9]. Its significance perhaps may lie in the fact that it has recognised the need to listen to the SMEs (which for reference is defined as under 300 employees for manufacturing, and under 100 for wholesale in general) who represent 70% of the labour force in Japan. It plans to create a portal that collates all information relevant for business and human rights as an effort to help educate such SMEs with limited burden. One of its actions is to encourage responsible business practice through promoting human rights due diligence including within supply chains, which is an action to be led through all of the ministries, including MOFA and METI.
Those of you who have seasoned business relationships with the Japanese market will know that whilst it may take 20-30 years of careful planning to take the first step forward, but upon a tipping point things can move at an exponential rate.
Whilst one can't deny a slight concern to the current hyped-up attention to all things "ESG", there is also a glimmer of hope that a real-effort tipping point is on its way. Perhaps we can all reduce the "lost in translation" phase by utilising efforts documented in both English and Japanese and work together for a real impact implementation of responsible financial activities.

Chronic staff shortages at Guy's and St Thomas' confirm NHS funding crisis is harming patient care, says Unite
Chronic staff shortages, concerns about patient safety and plunging morale at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust are the key findings of a staff survey carried out by Unite the union.
Unite, which has 100,000 members in the health service, warned that the 'shocking' findings at the London trust which treated Boris Johnson for coronavirus could well be mirrored across other NHS trusts in England.
Unite's survey of 188 critical care staff (nurses and technical) found:
93 per cent of staff reported understaffing in their unit every shift
100 per cent of staff reported staff wellbeing was affected by understaffing
98 per cent of staff said they felt understaffing made their unit unsafe.
Unite said today (Friday 8 October) that the issues raised by the late summer survey are still very much 'live' and were echoed in other departments.
The union estimates that 116 qualified intensive care unit (ICU) nurses have left critical care in the last seven months and that the trust is not managing to replace them all which has led to the skill-mix being heavily diluted.
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: "These results are shocking and very distressing for our NHS members. They are total professionals but these chronic staff shortages mean they struggle to give the care they are dedicated to, so morale plummets.
"Alarm bells have to start ringing across government and the health service. This must be sorted ahead of the busy winter period because safe staffing is central to proper patient care."
The union is demanding safe staffing legislation for England and Northern Ireland in line with the regulations in Scotland and Wales.
Unite warns that concerns for patient safety come amid a recruitment and retention crisis with vacancies running at an estimated 90,000, waiting lists soaring to 5.4 million in England, further privatisation, and a winter where flu and Covid cases are set to be widespread.
Unite national officer for health Colenzo Jarrett-Thorpe said: "These findings are a damning indictment of a decade of underfunding by the Tory government which we fear will be mirrored across other trusts in England. In response to our survey. The trust management has agreed to extend enhanced pay rates for nurses till January, so they are expecting the issue to last until at least then which is completely unsatisfactory.
"The government must step in to ensure effective health and care safe staffing legislation for England and Northern Ireland, following similar legislation by the devolved governments in Scotland and Wales. Ministers must also put money into the NHS urgently to return our health and social care services to pre-pandemic levels."
The union has been pressing the health and social care secretary Sajid Javid to redouble his efforts to obtain more cash from chancellor Rishi Sunak for the NHS as it braces itself for a winter season of illness and increased hospital admissions.
The survey was carried out in late summer.
The Unite report will be provided on request.
Unite's long-standing policy has been for a pay rise of £3,000-a-year or 15 per cent, whichever is greater for all health sector workers.
The Independent article below shows that the problems outlined are not confined to the London trust.

So what subtitle file can you recommend?
And how did you get it to play with the Blu-Ray?
Hey Doctune, I can provide you with my sub file, as for playing it with the film that depends on your equipment. Feel free to drop me an email.
Any chance of a hint of where the subtitles came from?
They're from the DVD, but tweaked a little and re-timed. I can let you have them if you like, drop me a mail.

Democrats Have Eyes on Red-State Governor
By Sam Howe Verhovek
Times Staff Writer
BUTTE, Mont. —
Just about everywhere Gov. Brian Schweitzer goes in Montana -- or elsewhere, for that matter -- he brings along a dog, a black rock and a small vial of clear, nearly odorless fluid.
The dog is his 2-year-old border collie, Jag, an obedient, camera-friendly companion who helps fill out the down-home image honed by the Democratic governor, who wears jeans, bolo ties and boots to most events.
The rock is a lump of coal, about 120 billion tons of which sits just beneath the lonesome plains of eastern Montana. And the fluid is a synthetic fuel derived from the coal.
Coals-to-fuel, says the governor, a soils scientist who lived in the Middle East for eight years in the 1980s, will be "the greatest boon to engineering and technology since NASA was created" in the late 1950s. With Montana coal, the U.S. could unleash itself from "the sheiks, the dictators, the rats and crooks around the world who are bent on destroying our way of life."
The burly, jolly Schweitzer could just as well be selling snake oil, to hear some of his critics tell it. One environmental group dismisses his promise of earth-friendly coal development this way: "The term 'clean coal' is like saying 'safe cigarettes.' "
But while the coal remains largely untapped, the 50-year-old Schweitzer is not going unnoticed.
A Democrat in a conservative state that gave George W. Bush nearly 60% of the vote in the last two presidential elections, Schweitzer is riding a wave of popularity here: 68% approval ratings in one recent independent poll. Another poll, by the Montana Chamber of Commerce, found that 57% believed the state government was headed in the right direction, whereas only 47% felt that way about the state's economy.
Schweitzer's success rankles GOP leaders here -- "all hat and no cattle," one says of his showmanship; another calls him "a loose cannon."
But it intrigues some Democrats, who wonder whether Schweitzer is the sort of red-state national candidate who could help the party break beyond the "blue zone" of electoral votes that has kept it out of the White House in the last two elections. (Democrats have won along the West Coast, and in the Northeast and Great Lakes region, but endured a virtual shutout in the South, the Great Plains and the Rocky Mountain states.)
Schweitzer is one of several red-state Democratic leaders who may emerge as either presidential or vice presidential contenders. Others include Mark R. Warner, who just finished his term-limited four-year stint as governor of Virginia with strong approval ratings that helped his lieutenant governor win the race to succeed him, and Janet Napolitano, Arizona's governor.
Democrats may well consider someone to "break the mold" on their national ticket, said Ed Sarpolus, a Michigan pollster. "There certainly is a feeling that they need someone who can really relate to voters in that huge belt of red."
So far, Schweitzer certainly seems to have demonstrated one natural politician's gift: that of being able to frame the question. No matter what he gets asked about, whether the war in Iraq or gay marriage or abortion rights, he somehow manages to point his answer toward a single word: "coal."
"Why, if we just started with that," he said of his coal program recently as his plane bumped around the state, "it will lead to all kinds of other good things. Energy independence .... will create jobs. It will spread to education, to developing engineers and to all kinds of other investments."
It is indeed possible to turn coal into synthetic fuel, with a chemical process that has been tweaked for decades and that was perhaps most notably employed by Nazi Germany once its path to oil was blocked in World War II.
And with the process yielding about two barrels per ton, Montana theoretically could produce 240 billion barrels -- or about 30 years' worth of the oil now consumed annually in the U.S.
Schweitzer concedes that the coal-to-fuel plan makes sense economically only if the worldwide average price of crude oil remains above about $35 a barrel. Oil is trading at about $69 per barrel now, but until a few years ago it traded at less than $20 per barrel, and some experts project it will fluctuate back down to those levels.
And because there are engineering issues to be worked out, Schweitzer admits, industry firms are not clamoring to build plants.
"Everybody wants to be the first one to build the second plant" is how he optimistically puts it.
Environmentalists also say the process is a long way from the Holy Grail of creating a fuel whose climate-warming carbon could be reliably stripped and even conceivably pumped back underground. Most coal-to-liquid plants create huge pollution problems, they point out.
None of this stops the governor from pushing his state's product, and his ability to focus the political dialogue here on jobs and the economy has garnered wide attention, from a CBS News "60 Minutes" segment on his plans to a prediction in Roll Call, a bible for Capitol Hill insiders, that he would emerge as "a dark-horse candidate for president in 2008."
There is even a draft-Schweitzer website urging him to run for president. He swears he has never met or talked to the site's creators, bloggers from Arizona, California and Maryland. Schweitzer is "the most intelligent, eloquent politician I have seen in a long time," one says.
Others say he could be a perfect vice presidential candidate, especially to add balance to a ticket headed by, say, a senator from the Northeast.
Schweitzer dismisses speculation about his candidacy for a national office as "kooky" and "silly talk"; he says he's got "the best job in America" and would be crazy to want to live in the White House, and he notes that his state has "only three electoral votes."
Strictly speaking, none of that amounts to a categorical denial.
For now, however, Schweitzer is sticking to Montana, with an occasional sighting at a governors meeting in Washington, D.C., or a quick trip to campaign for a fellow Democrat out of state.
Schweitzer particularly seems to enjoy courting Republicans -- so much so that he even selected one to be his running mate as lieutenant governor: John Bohlinger, a courtly, white-haired former state senator from Billings who makes for an entertaining sidekick at gubernatorial events.
Bohlinger, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the actor and comedian Steve Martin, seems happy to play the two-wild-and-crazy-guys routine: He often smells the vial of liquid coal that Schweitzer, who is often compared in looks to NBC political commentator Tim Russert, holds up to a crowd.
"How is this working? Well, I would say quite well," said Bohlinger, 69, referring to their cross-party partnership. "Brian's a very courteous guy. Very charming. He's really reached out. He listens. We've had a real meeting of the minds here."
Raised in the small central Montana town of Geyser, Schweitzer sold irrigation projects (and, for a time, bull semen) in the Middle East before returning to life as a rancher in the northeastern part of the state. He and his college-sweetheart wife, Nancy, have three teenage children.
In his first bid for political office in 2000, he almost knocked off a U.S. Senate Republican incumbent, Conrad Burns. He won the governor's race in 2004, following a scandal-scarred Republican. (Burns is running again this year, and is considered vulnerable because he received more donations than anyone else in Congress from groups linked to lobbyist Jack Abramoff. But Schweitzer is not challenging him; he remains neutral in the Democratic primary but pledges to go all out for the nominee.)
At a Rotary Club speech in Helena, Schweitzer said the "beautiful fuel" from coal would help boost Montana's economy and be a springboard for creation of all kinds of jobs.
"We're no longer competing just with Idaho," he told the crowd of about 75. "We're in competition with India.... Not just with Colorado. We're in competition with China."
Schweitzer noticed a man wearing a bolo tie.
"Start with bolo ties," Schweitzer said to laughs, "next thing you know he'll be voting for Democrats."

Fired Techie Created Virtual Chaos at Pharma Company
Logging in from a Smyrna, Georgia, McDonald's restaurant, a former employee of a U.S. pharmaceutical company was able to wipe out most of the company's computer infrastructure earlier this year.
Jason Cornish, 37, formerly an IT staffer at the U.S. subsidiary of Japanese drug-maker Shionogi, pleaded guilty Tuesday to computer intrusion charges in connection with the attack on Feb. 3, 2011. He wiped out 15 VMware host systems that were running e-mail, order tracking, financial and other services for the Florham Park, New Jersey, company.
"The Feb. 3 attack effectively froze Shionogi's operations for a number of days, leaving company employees unable to ship product, to cut checks, or even to communicate via e-mail," the U.S. Department of Justice said in court filings. Total cost to Shionogi: US$800,000.

Cornish had resigned from the company in July 2010 after getting into a dispute with management, but he had been kept on as a consultant for two more months.
Then, in September 2010, the drug-maker laid off Cornish and other employees, but it did a bad job of revoking passwords to the network. One employee, who was Cornish's friend and former boss, allegedly refused to hand over network passwords to company officials and eventually was fired because of this.
Using a Shionogi account, Cornish was able to log into the company's network from a public McDonald's Internet connection in February and fire up a vSphere VMware management console that he'd secretly installed on the company's network a few weeks earlier.
Using vSphere, he deleted 88 company servers from the VMware host systems, one by one.
Cornish was charged in July. He faces a maximum of 10 years in prison when he's sentenced on Nov. 10. He could not be reached for comment Tuesday. Shionogi did not return messages seeking comment.


Chemical engineering deals with the creation, design, operation, and optimization of processes that derive practical benefits from chemical or physical changes principally involving chemical and biochemical reactions. The profession is quite broad and has traditionally provided the technology for: supplying energy and fuel; synthesizing materials such as plastics, chemicals, fertilizers, and pharmaceuticals; and managing environmental and safety concerns of physical and chemical processes. Some new applications of the principles of chemical engineering at nanoscales are being made in sustainable energy production and detection of gene mutations, protein configurations, and virus serotypes as well as thermal destruction of cancer cells.
Chemical engineers have a variety of traditional job opportunities in industries such as petroleum production and processing, chemical manufacturing, food processing, pharmaceutical production, and process equipment manufacturing. Job opportunities may involve research, development, design, manufacturing, sales, or teaching as professional activities. The chemical engineer can also move easily into environmental engineering, nuclear engineering, oceanography, biomedical engineering, pharmacology, law, medicine, or other multidisciplinary fields.
In chemical engineering, students obtain a broad foundation in chemistry, mathematics, physics, communication skills, economics, and the humanities. Courses in material and energy balances, thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, process control, computer methods, safety, and design provide students with the background and learning skills required of the practicing chemical engineer. The curriculum includes elective courses that enable a student to prepare for immediate employment or further study at the graduate level or the professional level, such as for medical school. The chemical engineering program also serves as an excellent preparation for dental, pharmacy, or law school.
Entrance and successful participation in a graduate or professional program (such as medical school) that continues their career development.
The program prepares graduates to achieve these educational objectives through development of their skills as outlined in our educational outcomes and taught in our curriculum.
These outcomes are reinforced and demonstrated in a senior capstone safety, design, and laboratory course sequence.
Additional opportunities are available to enhance the educational experience of students in these areas. Students should consult their academic adviser for recommendations.
The following section contains the list of courses required for the Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering degree. Not all courses are offered every semester, so students who deviate from the suggested sequence must pay careful attention to course scheduling and course prerequisites. Students wishing to follow the eight-semester degree plan should see the Eight-Semester Degree Policy in the Academic Regulations chapter for university requirements of the program. Entering freshmen will be required to participate in selected Freshman Engineering Student Services.
Each student in chemical engineering is required to complete six semester hours of technical electives, three semester hours of Advanced Science electives, three semester hours of Chemical Engineering electives, and three semester hours of Advanced Science or Chemical Engineering electives.
In general, any upper level (3000-level or above) course in the sciences, math or engineering may serve as a technical elective, with prior approval by your academic adviser. BIOL 2013, BIOL 2213, BIOL 2323 and BIOL 2443 are 2000-level courses that can also serve as technical electives, and are also useful for students applying to medical school. INEG 2313, INEG 2333, INEG 2413 and INEG 3513 are statistics-oriented classes, and may be used for technical elective credit. Upper-level courses in non-technical areas such as business may also serve as technical electives with prior approval by your academic adviser. There is no specific list of approved technical electives.
A list of the approved Advanced Science or Chemical Engineering courses is shown below. Once again, each student in chemical engineering is required to complete three semester hours of Advanced Science electives, three semester hours of Chemical Engineering electives, and three semester hours of Advanced Science or Chemical Engineering electives. Courses not on the list may satisfy the requirement with student appeal and approval by the Chemical Engineering faculty.
Completion of CHEG 488V Special Problems at the direction of a faculty mentor.
Regardless of the thesis project, an Honors Thesis and oral presentation will be prepared by the student and approved by the Department Honors Committee and the faculty mentor.

Welcome to this week's post, part six (get me!) and the finale of the Cowlean Kickstart Advice series. This series was designed to help people snap out of their previous state and get started, to take some action, and begin seeing the pounds melt away. This week we continue with the final touch by adding in a little supplementation.
I've linked to all previous episodes of this series above, as well as my older post on my top three supplements. Each week we've added something new and at the end of this post I take a look at dieting concepts which I've been thinking about for a while now.
This week, just introduce these three supplements and class is dismissed for Christmas.
You can get vitamin D from roughly 30 minutes of direct sunlight exposure each day, but you just won't get enough unless you live in a very sunny country. If you're like me and live in the UK, you definitely want to be supplementing with vitamin D.
Benefits include immune support, improved sleep, and better hormone regulation.
Take 1000 IU per day for every 25 lbs of bodyweight.
Iodine can be found in sea kelp, seaweed, and iodised salt, but again you just won't get enough for it to be worth it. Save yourself some time and pick up some sea kelp tablets. Iodine is particularly good for dieting because it supports your metabolism, which will naturally slow after a period of being in a caloric deficit. In my post on my top supplements, I give a full overview of why you should supplement with iodine.
Benefits include immune support, thyroid production levels, and metabolism.
Take 1 mg per day.
Just like iodine, you can get vitamin C from fruits and vegetables, but just not enough. C is another supplement I covered in my previous post (another reason to check it out!). It is amazingly cheap: I've had over a year's supply for less than £20. Another great use for having it around is that when you get ill, you can up your daily dose considerably and actively fight illness.
N.B. have you noticed that in each case, immune support is one of the benefits? This isn't just by chance: when you become healthy, you give your body the tools to fight illness and heal itself. It's not about directly fighting the infection, it's about setting up an environment where the body takes care of itself.
Over the past six weeks we've covered a lot of topics: food, exercise (including the meals themselves), fasting, and now supplements. If you revisit the earlier posts, you'll see that I mention that by following the advice of post 1, you'll achieve up to 80% of your results, and I stand by that statement still.
Each week we've gone further up the pyramid, and each change you make will lead to smaller results than the previous change you made. It sounds depressing, but it doesn't have to be. First of all, if you've followed the advice up to now, you'll know that it's easy to make the changes that have the most effect.
You've also got the framework you need to take your results even further. For example, if you reduced rather than eliminate gluten, grains, and industrial oils in week 1, then you can revisit the food part of this series and go the whole hog. Similarly, if at the exercise stage you just did the walking (which I also maintain is all you need!), then you could add in the strength based training as well.
At each stage there are opportunities to improve, just set yourself another task for the week coming and achieve it. Keep at this process until you've got the results you desire. If you've tried all six stages and are out of ideas, shoot me a message and we can work something out.
Writing this series has actually made my mind wonder back to my training in economics, how I internalised that system of thought, and now bring it to the health and fitness table. There's the concept of low hanging fruit: pursue the easiest alternatives first. That's why I started by introducing the simple changes to your food which have the biggest effect.
Another concept is the law of diminishing returns: as a tool is further utilised it returns less. That's why each week you bring in something new, because beating a dead horse and endlessly exercising, for example, is less effective.
Well then, that brings us to the conclusion of our little series. Next week we'll be back to a long form post where I'm going to be eulogising our diets as they go through their festive deaths, only to be reborn in the new year with great enthusiasm. I'll look at what's great about Christmas food-wise, why you shouldn't feel as guilty as you may well do, and how to set appropriate and achievable resolutions.
Pat yourself on the back for following the series, and implementing the changes. Look at your recorded results and realise you did this.
