To be had in English for the 1st time, An Inca Account of the Conquest of Peru is a firsthand account of the Spanish invasion, narrated in 1570 via Diego de Castro Titu Cusi Yupanqui—the penultimate ruler of the Inca dynasty—to a Spanish missionary and transcribed by way of Titu Cusi's mestizo secretary.
Titu Cusi tells of his father's maltreatment by the hands of the Spaniards; his father's resulting army campaigns, withdrawal and homicide; and his personal succession as ruler. This bright narrative illuminates the Incan view of the Spanish invaders and gives a huge account of local peoples' resistance, lodging, swap, and survival within the face of the Spanish conquest.
Ralph Bauer's striking translation, annotations, and advent provide serious context and historical past for an entire knowing of Titu Cusi's occasions and the importance of his phrases. Co-winner of the 2005 Colorado Endowment for the arts booklet Prize.

Indeed, not long after the completion of Titu Cusi's account, Marcos García was expelled from Vilcabamba, leaving behind his Augustinian brother Diego Ortiz. In the long run, his expulsion turned out to be lucky for Marcos García. When in 1571 Titu Cusi suddenly fell ill and died within a few days, the Vilcabamba Incas blamed Ortiz and demanded that he resuscitate their leader. 16 The missionary's death was subsequently used to justify the invasion of Vilcabamba and the execution of Topa Amaru (see Ocampo 215–216).
Noncompliance was legitimate ground for the commencement of violent conquest. 19 Thus, Juan de Betanzos—a Spaniard who was married to Atahuallpa's sister (Francisco Pizarro's former mistress), Doña Angelina Yupanqui, who told the story of the Conquest as remembered by her family—wrote that, after the interpreter had explained to Atahuallpa that he should "obey the captain [Pizarro] who was also the son of the Sun, and that was what . . the painting in the book said," Atahuallpa "asked for the book and, taking it in his hands he opened it.

Chase Elliott aims for Richmond rebound after another run-in with Joe Gibbs Racing
Alex Weaver NASCAR.com September 9, 2020 at 5:01 PM
Chase Elliott has a long history with NASCAR and a bloodline that encompasses multiple generations. He has become a household name in the NASCAR Cup Series, but have you noticed that some of Elliott's key losing moments have been the result of a battle with a Joe Gibbs Racing driver? You hear of great rivalries in sports — Lakers vs. Celtics, Red Sox vs. Yankees, now Elliott vs. JGR?
The third incident occurred Sunday night at Darlington Raceway with Martin Truex Jr. Elliott and Truex Jr. were battling for the lead late in the opening race for the NASCAR Playoffs with a berth in the Round of 12 on the line. Truex Jr. got a big run to make the pass on Elliott with 13 laps remaining. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver thought he was clear enough, but Elliott wasn't going to concede the lead during a crash that cost them both.

The contact cut a tire on Truex's No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota. The damage to Elliott's No. 9 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet sent him sinking through the field. Elliott finished 20th, just two spots ahead of Truex. The incident allowed Kevin Harvick to pass both en route to his eighth win of 2020. Elliott and Truex Jr. left Darlington sixth and seventh in the playoff standings.
History repeated itself with Elliott at Darlington this year. Who can forget the Wednesday night showdown earlier this season where Elliott added to the bird population in South Carolina by offering a certain gesture of his frustration to Kyle Busch? After a late-race run-in, Elliott's No. 9 was sent crashing into the inside wall by Busch and out of a race he had a chance to win. One conversation later, both drivers showed respect and professionalism by not harboring any feelings.

The incident that started it all was the most memorable — Elliott and Denny Hamlin in 2017 at Martinsville Speedway. Hamlin bumped Elliott out of the way in an attempt to get to the front on the closing laps. The move may have cost Elliott the possibility of his first career Cup win. Both drivers got out and exchanged words in a heated argument on the frontstretch in front of an animated grandstand.
Time has passed since that first battle. Elliott has eight wins in the NASCAR Cup Series and is back competing for a chance at the Bill France Cup in 2020.
RELATED: Denny Hamlin turns Chase Elliott in 2017 at Martinsville
Now we head to Richmond Raceway for the second race of the NASCAR Playoffs. Historically strong at short tracks, Elliott's stats will tell you his chances at Richmond aren't his best. In what will be his 10th start at the Virginia short track, Elliott is going after his first win there. The strongest finishes at Richmond for the No. 9 team both came in 2018 with a runner-up in the spring and a fourth place later that year. Other than that, he has only cracked the top 10 one other time and only led 34 laps there.
If Elliott can keep it off the tow truck and finish with a strong result, he will look promising heading to one of his strongest tracks, Bristol Motor Speedway. Having already captured the All-Star Race win in July and contending for the win and scoring two stage wins in June, Elliott will look to have a 2020 season double take at the track he calls one of his favorites on the NASCAR Cup Series circuit.
A key to Elliott getting a needed result at Richmond and Bristol? Maybe, it's stay clear of Joe Gibbs Racing drivers. They say there is no memory longer than a driver's scorned. If retaliation is on the mind of driver No. 9, he has nine races and three Joe Gibbs Racing drivers to target on the road to the championship race at Phoenix Raceway come November.

OSI Board Meeting Minutes, Sunday, November 13, 2011 (Face-to-Face meeting, San Francisco)
Mr. Mark Radcliffe, General Counsel
Discussion about New Governance and Board Elections
Staffing (9:15 - 11:00)
Mr. Tiemann suggested talking about a staffing plan and asked Mr. Phipps to lay out his thoughts. Mr. Phipps said that a revitalized OSI would need facilitators who can devote real time and attention, especially working groups, especially around education and public policy. So a working group facilitator would be his first priority next year. Secondly, someone is needed to coordinate affiliates, advisory board, working groups, individual associates. One person would be good to coordinate and expand these.
Mr. Tiemann examined EFF for comparison: they set agenda according to staff, and when an issue comes up they try to add staff in that area.
Discussion of other organizations: EFF, GNOME, FSF, Apache, churches. Mr. Fogel raised question of a full-time executive director usually being present to coordinate staff, and asked whether the OSI board can function as an ED. Mr. Jagielski and Mr. Phipps discussed how Apache works without an ED but with some paid staff.
Mr. Wasserman suggested an ED as a first step, with fundraising responsibility to get help. Mr. Jagielski responded that the first thing an ED says is "I need help" and concentrates on getting more resources.
General discussion: are we ready to have a person who becomes the public face of the OSI?
Mr. Oliver suggested going with what we're already doing that's successful, which is the policy work.
Mr. Phipps explained how the Outercurve Foundation handles their staff. A similar arrangement could be made to handle project management and membership management for OSI.
After discussion, the board agreed on the following statement:
Part of bootstrapping the new OSI will be recruiting diverse categories of members who will provide both the democratic heft and the programmatic lift to advance the public policy positions of the OSI. The membership bootstrap will be self-funding and organic, using third-party resources until such time as in-house staff can deliver greater value for money. The public policy bootstrap will rely on solely on member participation until such time that members vote with their wallets to hire professional resources to increase capacity, effectiveness, etc.
For 2012 we are aiming to have capacity to run active working groups including associates and affiliates with no full-time staff and enough funding to buy outsourced structure to handle administrative aspects and increased activity capacity. This is on the order of up to $100K-$150K now; this may increase. We will learn what the OSI needs through organic growth from the working groups, not top-down directions from the board.
Advisory Board (11:00 - 11:45)
We discussed the advisory board. Companies on the advisory board can occasionally interact with the board. However, in order to participate in the governance of the OSI, they have to get involved in the working groups.
We intend to start recruiting for the advisory board around the time of the next election. We should have the affiliate scheme well established before we do, and we should have enough funding from affiliates to start with virtual management. Affiliates need to be aware that we're planning to have an advisory board.
Assistant Treasurer (11:45 - 11:50)
Mr. Oliver would like to step down as assistant treasurer and made a motion for Mr. Michlmayr to become the new assistant treasurer. Mr. Fogel seconded. Motion approved by general consent.
Lunch (11:50 - 12:20)
The board took a break for lunch.
Discussion about New Governance and Board Elections (12:20 - 14:00)
Mr. Fogel asked whether someone nominated by a working group would have to be from that working group or whether a working group can nominate anyone. Mr. Phipps confirmed that they had to be from the working group.
Mr. Fogel would like to see both vacancies in the next election be filled from working groups. He wonders whether we will we have enough people participating in working groups to have enough candidates by early next year.
Mr. Fogel made the following proposal: Any qualified candidate can self-nominate, whether from affiliate groups or working groups. Then each elector fills out as many STV rows as they wish. Selectricity does the rest, filling out whatever number of vacancies are available.
A question that was discussed whether the number of board members working for the same company should be restricted. General consent was that restricting to one board member from the same company seems too restrictive but that no more than 1/3 of the board draw a paycheck from the same company.
There was a lot of discussion about this topic, with a wide range of opinions. Mr. Wasserman proposed a code of ethics. Furthermore, Mr. Tiemann said that all board members should write a declaration of interest and keep it up to date. If a material conflict arises (i.e. if two parties are now sharing the same interest), the changing party must give notice to the board. The board can reconfirm them if 75% of the remaining, unconflicted group agree.
Various topics (14:00 - 14:40)
SOPA and other acts that could have an impact on open source were discussed.
Mr. Michlmayr asked about the board's preference for the meeting time for future board phone calls. The board agreed to hold meetings at 8 am Pacific Time, but express the time in UTC (i.e. 15:00 or 16:00 UTC, depending on the season).

Q: 32 bits processor and partition size on SSD I am looking for advice. I have just installed Ubuntu on my 1T SSD. I want to separate the OS from new data I will put there. I have a 32-bit processor: any advice or constraint on the size of the new partitions I will create for my data?
Thanks in advance.

A: You have to boot from a live USB or CD.
Then try ro partition your disk with GParted as a usual HDD.

A: No, the fact that you have a 32 bit processor will not affect the maximum size of your partitions.  As far as I'm aware, it only means that your system will not be able to use more than 4GB of RAM, which has nothing to do with hard disk partitions.

As a young boy, I think an outside observer would have seen much more gazelle than mule in me. I was creative, introverted, and had an appreciation for the more aesthetic things in life. I grew up in Michigan – outside of Detroit. This area of the Midwest was known for automobiles, hunting, and factories, and the men typically reflected the corresponding nature. Sexual ambiguity, even to the slightest degree, was completely rejected. I learned this the hard way.
In my childhood years I found a love for painting, and had completed roughly 30 canvases, three of which were exhibited in my home town's city hall by the time I was 14. But with that recognition came the scorn of the other boys in my school – I became a target of ridicule, and was beaten up one afternoon after classes were let out. They called me the "artistic fag." I saw that my interests in art – painting in particular – had potentially revealed my deepest secret. Almost immediately I completely abandoned every creative interest, and went back off the playing field of life to further learn about how I was supposed to be.
The years that followed were a period of deep introspection, and a willingness on my part to hide out from people by staying aloof, while at the same time I hnd become an ardent observer of men who were more acceptable. I wanted to learn how to act – how to behave in a manner that would not betray what I felt inside. I also tried in vein to find answers about my condition, and how to cure it. It was a very unhappy period of life for me – trying very hard to hide any possible outward signs of my feelings that might give others a clue that I was gay. Eventually, it became too much for me, and so I tried to confide in the people who I knew loved me unconditionally – or so I thought.
I decided to tell my parents about myself, and the resultant period was very painful, not just for me, but for my parents, my siblings, and aunts and uncles as well. When I told them I thought I might be gay, they did not understand what that meant. I had to explain to them the notion that I was attracted to men. It was a disaster that resulted in me seeing a variety of psychiatrists, an endocrinologist, our family doctor, and a priest. I was also taken by my brother to a prostitute, and I tried dating the neighbor's niece, who saw my condition as a challenge. At one point in a heated exchange, my mother told me to change my name and move out of our home.
By the time I was 22, I decided I needed to move away to Phoenix Arizona, where I could clear my head of all of it, set the drama aside, and perhaps attend college classes at Arizona State University. It was a move that altered my life in many ways. Almost immediately I became an honors student. I moved in with my sister who was going through a divorce at the time. She was aware of my sexuality, and she did not have a problem with it.
Not soon after I moved to Arizona, I met a young medical student from Tucson Arizona. He was in Phoenix taking a medical rotation class, and he seemed to be extremely interested in me. I had discovered through friends that he was very popular, and for this reason, I kept him at arm's length, which intensified his interest in me. Eventually, I felt comfortable and let my own guard down, and when I finished at ASU, I moved to Tucson to be with him as he finished his medical studies. He had two years left, and so I used that time period to pursue a second degree – one in Geosciences at U of A.
Scott was an incredibly smart, extroverted man, and he seemed to balance the shy, introverted part of me. After we finished at U of A, Scott and I moved to Los Angeles, California, and I spent the next two years obtaining a Masters in Business Administration from the University of Southern California. Scott had been assigned to work at Kaiser West Los Angeles hospital through a match program that was common with medical students.
While at USC, I served as President of the Dean's Advisory Board, Administrative Chairman of the University Program Board, and was the recipient of the Albert T. Quan Outstanding Graduate Student Award. After graduating from USC, I started my own business, Information Design Resources, which I owned and operated for over 10 years., from 1986 to 1995.
That same period of time was both magical and tragic for us. Scott hired into a private medical practice and soon began seeing patients who had a frightening new disease, AIDS. His intellect and willingness to continue studying soon caused Scott to become a major figure in the battle against AIDS. But it was his political interests that pulled both he and I into a level of activism and fundraising that eventually led to us entertaining governors, senators, congressmen, and eventually all of the major candidates for president from the Democratic party into our home. It culminated in an extraordinary victory party at our home with approximately 200 friends, family, and the reporter Maria Shriver and her staff recording the historic victory for the gay and lesbian community.
Our lives were both exciting, and filled with a sense of tremendous sadness. During the same period in time we were attending funeral services on average once a month. These were not distant acquaintances, but rather close friends who we would socialize with, play cards with on the weekend, and travel with. I lost all of my friends from Michigan, including my best friend Carl Rippberger – an incredibly kind, and smart man who was a mentor for me earlier in my life.
At times, we had two and three friends in the hospital at one time. We had a close friend Ric Davis stay with us as he recovered from a collaped lung, since he was not close to his own family. Eventually, I could not hold up through the demands of the political side where it was necessary to put on an air of confidence and strength, while at the same time processing the deaths of so many young men, who in their final hours seemed to be searching for some form of meaning to life.
To get through, I made the terrible mistake of turning to sedatives and alcohol. By 1993, after having witnessed over 30 friends die from the disease AIDS, I found myself in deep depression and caught in a web of alcoholism and drug addiction to avoid the realities around me. Scott wanted me to find an in-patient program, but I chose instead to follow a recovery path with AA. As part of my recovery, I needed to unwind my past, and in the process found that I had a desperate need to go back to my first love - art.
Having a deep seated desire to paint was one thing, but changing course at this point in life from owning a business and finding validation from all of the external stuff to turning inward, and trying to go back to a childhood dream was a completely different animal. It was no small venture – I had to make a very hard choice between who I was and what I had achieved to something completely foreign – not only to me, but to Scott, my family, and all of our friends. But there was something inside of me that would not let me turn back, and so I began the process of moving away from the right side of the brain's "MBA and business Alex" to the left side of the brain's "starving artist Alex." When I refer to the starving artist, I am not speaking in terms of food, but rather, the part of me that was starving for something that had meaning, and that would allow for me to express what I needed to express through art.
The transition was not immediate. But at the direction of my AA sponsor and close friend Larry Sprenger, I made it a point to do something toward art every day, for a minimum of one hour. Over a period of several months, that one hour grew to 4 and 5 hours each day. And then I found a point where I could finally complete the work I had committed to with my clients, and I broke entirely free of business related activities, and focused entirely on painting. All of my days would become about art without distractions – at least for a period of time.
In late 1994 I decided to hire a classical painting tutor, and a classical drawing tutor. Both came to where I had set up a studio and they worked with me one day a week for 4-5 hours each. They continued to share their knowledge for the entire year – helping me to understand the rudimentary skills needed for creating art. My classical drawing tutor was Margaret Caldwell, and my classical painting tutor was Deny Ponty.
What followed was a very brief period of what was perhaps the most joyous time in life for me, other than the two years I spent in Tucson Arizona just after meeting Scott. I woke early each day, and began my work with excitement, intrigue, and dedication. I felt like a scientist within my own laboratory, being able to research the methods of other artists, and being able to try their color pallets out with my own work.
That period, from late 1995 to mid-1999 was all too brief. In July, 1999, my partner Scott was diagnosed with colon cancer. The years that followed were extremely difficult, and I tried to express some of the emotions through my paintings. Scott's condition worsened over the subsequent eight year period, and I found less and less time to paint as I devoted more time to caring for him. During that same period I broke out with shingles and panic attacks from the stress. Three discs in my lower back gave out, and ruptured. In July, 2006 I had a heart attack. And finally, on November 8, 2007, my world turned completely black and desperately cold. Scott passed away next to me, holding my arm. From that point I began to feel a level of despair I had never even understood could exist I tried to busy myself by selling our home, and putting everything into storage. I then thought perhaps if I found a small home that needed a lot of work that perhaps I could keep myself active and busy. It worked for a while, but by late 2007 I began to have open gaps of quiet time, and I started down a deep rabbit hole of depression.
Now, in mid 2009, I have been pulling myself back out, and trying to get myself back into painting. There is so much that is inside of me that seems to have a hold on me, but every day I consciously try to do what I can to regain my life as an artist. I Still live in Los Angeles, not far from where Scott and I lived together, but I travel almost every month to Arizona to spend time with my family, and to be near Scott, who is buried in Scottsdale. Part of the renovation work on the home I am currently living in included tearing down an old garage. In its place I had a slightly larger garage built, but we added skylights to the roof, and we put drywall on the inside. It is set up as an art studio, and I recently moved all of my art supplies and paintings into the space. I've begun work on a double portrait of two close friends, and I remain hopeful that I will be able to increase my time working on it each day, in dedication to art, and to my own life's purpose.

Tis The Season for Inspirational Stories Of Extraordinary Human Kindness
Michael Snyder 2019-12-17
Michael Snyder / December 17, 2019
Despite all of the horrible things that we read about in the news, the truth is that there are still people out there that are making great sacrifices in order to do good for others. My hope is that these extraordinary stories of human kindness will inspire others to act likewise. We live at a moment in history when darkness is growing rapidly all around us, and our society can feel so very cold at times. Those that follow my work regularly already know that I write a lot about this growing darkness. In fact, just yesterday I posted articles about the collapse of the American family and our wildly out of control drug crisis. One of the reasons why I write so much about the darkness is so that people will start realizing the need for radical solutions. As Kirk Cameron has aptly noted, it can be exceedingly difficult to "try to give a cure to a patient who wasn't convinced of his disease". It is time for American to wake up. The status quo is not acceptable, we are steamrolling down a road that leads to national suicide, and we need to understand the error of our ways before it is too late.
What we should all want is a society that is filled with love. As humans, we are meant to love and to be loved, but love seems to be in such short supply in our nation today.
Fortunately, there are still a lot of people out there that are trying to do the right thing.
Let me start by sharing the story of a five-year-old girl named Katelynn Hardee. When she heard that some other families were having a really hard time paying for school lunches for their kids, she decided to take matters into her own hands…
After overhearing another child's mother say she was having a hard time paying for an after-school program, Katelynn Hardee, 5, spoke to her own mother about how she could help other students.
Katelyn set up a cocoa-and-cookies stand, and it turned into a success. She soon decided the money she made would be used to pay off the lunch debt of 123 students in her San Diego County school district.
"I don't want people to be hungry," Hardee told NBC San Diego, which did not say how much the bill was.
Sometimes it takes a child to remind the rest of us how we are supposed to live.

I really enjoy interacting with small children, because their hearts have not yet been corrupted by the great evil that permeates our society at every level. They instinctively understand the value in helping others, and they take great joy in making a difference.
Never lose your joy, because it is a source of fuel that will propel you in the direction of becoming the person that you were always meant to be.
And if you have lost your joy along the way, do whatever you can to get it back.
We all have a purpose, and we all have the capacity to do something really special.
Just consider the story of Nancy Banta of Rumson, New Jersey. According to her daughter, she has been crocheting blankets for sick children in the hospital for many years…
"My mom has been donating crocheted blankets to sick children over the past 20+ years," her daughter said. "In total she has made 49 afghans this year, 45 of which she just donated to Jersey Shore Medical Hospital's Pediatric and Pediatric ICU wards."
This is Banta's 5th year donating to the hospital.
"She has probably donated over 1,000 blankets to those in need at this point in her lifetime and she's not stopping anytime soon!" her daughter added.
What a wonderful lady.
That is the kind of person that I want in my life. People that joyfully give to others consistently are always such a blessing to be around.
It has been said that it is more blessed to give than to receive, and it is also true that being a "giver" makes you a much better person than being a "taker".
Speaking of giving, a large church in New Jersey made news when they put together over 1,000 food kits for needy children in their community…
A New Jersey-based nondenominational megachurch has helped to pack more than 1,000 food kits for less fortunate children living in the area.
The Paramus campus of The Life Christian Church, which meets at an AMC movie theater at Garden State Plaza, helped put together 1,056 food kits on Sunday with other volunteers.
Terry Smith, senior pastor of Life Christian, told The Christian Post that the food-packing event was consistent with one of the church's core values, namely, to be "enthusiastic servants of all."
As I document regularly on my website, tens of millions of American families deeply struggle to pay for the basics in this economy, and things are only going to get worse in the years ahead.

But if we had more churches doing this sort of thing, we would be in far, far better shape.
I greatly applaud what they are trying to do, and I believe that they will be greatly blessed for their efforts.
Last, but certainly not least, I would like to share with you the story of Bonita the dog.
Bonita spent 500 days in a shelter in Niagara Falls, New York, but now she finally has a forever home…
After spending 500 days in an animal shelter in Niagara Falls, New York, a 5-year-old pit bull mix is going home for Christmas!
Bonita, the shelter's longest resident – and one of its most popular dogs – finally found a home just in time for Christmas after she was adopted by local man Ray Kinz.
In a video captured by the Niagara County SPCA, Bonita is given a loving sendoff by her former family members at the shelter. She jumps up and wags her tail as she passes through the crowd with Kinz.
Sometimes, it is those that have been through the most pain that are the most loving of all, and I have a feeling that Bonita is going to shower Mr. Kinz with a tremendous amount of love and affection in the years ahead.
If you want to live a life that really matters, endeavor to be a person of great love. The big news networks are unlikely to cover the stories that I just shared with you on their broadcasts, but it is acts of kindness such as these that are going to make our society a better place to live.
The more we love, the more we will grow, and may we never stop growing.

Fasting can take a toll on your mental health, attention span and mood swings among others. The body finds it hard to deal with starvation and responds in unhealthy ways. Fasting hacks have been designed to make sure you Fast yet not feel the brunt.
During Navratri, many people please the Goddess with fasting. Although there is a religious significance of fasting, it has many health benefits. In these days, some people only eat fruits during their fast. Some people only drink water during fast. So while leaving this fast, you need to take care of some things.
Do not eat spicy or oily foods immediately after your fasting. By doing so, you will pressurize your digestive tract and your health problem can get worse. So eat light food.
Consume a diet containing protein foods post fasting. After fasting for so many days, the energy of the body is reduced. Thus, the body needs a protein-rich diet to get energy. You should eat paneer, sprouted pulses, and overnight soaked dal.
You should drink a glass of water as your stomach is empty for many days. Your stomach will feel cold and will also help you digest your meal properly. Drink juices, lassi, coconut water or citric juices. This will give you energy and it will also be useful for your digestion.
If you stop fasting after many days, avoid heavy foods because your metabolism slows down during fasting. Therefore, one should avoid fast foods and drink more water.
The key to good health in spite of fasting is keeping the body well hydrated and slowly start increasing food intake. This will ensure the body cells are well replenished.

I've said it on many occasions, one of my favorite things to talk about is strategy, specifically marketing strategy. A solid strategy unveils a path to success because it identifies where you want to end up. It differs from your marketing plan, which is the collection of steps you'll take on the path and the tools you'll need to get further.
You may (or may not) know that most of my work history has been in the casino industry. It has been a career that has allowed me to grow in my skills as a marketer. And though I work in other industries now, I often rely on the lessons learned "taking a gamble." There are five casino marketing strategies any business, large or small, can adopt.
Like any other businesses, casinos compete for the disposable dollars of adults, specifically disposable dollars that adult may choose to use for entertainment. Casino marketers are asking for a not-so-insignificant part of that entertainment budget. While a trip to the movies with popcorn and soda could easily top $50 for two people, casinos are looking for that spend from one adult. So, how they identify and target is worth a look. In my opinion, few companies leverage a database quite like a casino. They have been collecting information about customers for years and are now able to leverage that information to determine who the most valuable customers are today and will be tomorrow. They have learned to understand the triggers that drive visits during targeted times. And, given the explosion of technology, they continue to use snail mail in successful ways. You can do this too! CRM and sales tools about from free starters great for small businesses to rock star business intelligence tools.
Ever wonder what makes people buy lottery tickets when the odds are stacked against them? Psychologists will tell you that our brains can't really compute probabilities that are that high. They might also argue we mere humans fall into a trap of "near miss", in other words, "If I was that close this time, I could be the winner next time." But what about freebies? When 7-Eleven gives away free Slurpees, people line up by the hundreds and thousands. Whether it be free or a gamble, people want a chance to win something. Casinos understand this and build calendars of events that use drawings, free spins and tournaments to create multiple chances to win.
Anyone with a dollar to spend wants to feel they are getting something of value for that dollar. Casinos understand pricing and value like few other businesses. Thousands of focus groups have repeated the same feeling. Gamblers know the odds of winning are not in their favor, but the want to be able to play a sufficient amount of time with the budget they have. That's how they interpret value on the casino floor. Additionally, casinos price certain food venues to appeal to that need for value. Value is not a dollar amount, it is the relationship to your customer's wallet. So, as you look at your offerings and customer experience, think about those moments you add value and where you take it away. Sometimes, something as easy as using a POS system that easily emails a receipt can add value to a checkout.
Let's be honest, when casinos came to the area, many looked forward to the fun and excitement. Few really believed the operations would enhance the community. At the last company I worked for, employees performed over 14,000 hours of community service in only one year. Perform a simple search on the American Gaming Association site and you'll see example on top of example of how the communities were enriched by the hard work of casino employees. And, yes, I am aware that some people are unable (through their own control or forces beyond their control) to game responsibly, but this story is amount being a part of the community and encouraging your employees to use their time (and perhaps a day or two of yours) to be a part of this beautiful city and the surrounding parishes. Get involved. There are too many needs and I bet given the opportunity, your employees would love to get involved.
A shortened version of this column appeared in the October 2017 issue of Biz New Orleans.
What do you think about marketing "Free Kitchen Rehab" or "Free Bathroom Rehab"?
Will this bring in the new potential gamblers?
Those are both great ideas. The primary casino customer is still women 50+ and they have a huge interest in home improvement! Matching your offer or promotions to the customer is key.

Five Habits Every Mom Should Break
Great Books for Teens & Tweens
by Julie Hubble
This month's list has Girl Heroes who have completely amazing stories to tell for both boys and girls. I would recommend any of these books for an adult book club as well. These books bridge the gap between chapter books and young adult novels.
Book of a Thousand Days, by Shannon Hale (Bloomsbury). Set in the steppes of Central Asia, the maid Dashti serves the Lady Saren, born of nobility, and writes of her days in a journal. The novel begins when the two women are locked in a high tower with all the food they need to live for seven years - - all due to the disobedience of Lady Saren. It is due to Dashti's intelligence, hard work and honor in serving the helpless Saren that the two survive at all. Readers are taken up by this foreign land and will be greatly impressed by this bright and plucky heroine. (Ages 12 & up)
Keturah and Lord Death, by Martine Leavitt (Boyds Mill Press). A National Book Award Finalist, this fairy tale answers the question "What if death came for you?" Keturah is the town beauty and the favorite story teller. As mystery surrounds Keturah's survival after being lost in the woods for three days, the town sees her as bewitched. Her friends Gretta and Beatrice stand by her side. A story filled with romance, friendship and courage set in the feudal village of Tide-by-Rood, this book will touch your heart. A fabulous book to read aloud. (Ages 10 & up)
A Drowned Maiden's Hair, by Laura Amy Schlitz (Candlewick). Set in the early 1900s, little dynamo Maud Flynn has been adopted by three sisters who are con artists. Although she is now showered with ice cream and dresses and fancy things, she must keep her identity hidden to the world. As Maud's young mind distills the truth about her new "family," the reader is drawn into her escape. The book expertly illustrates the period's craze for spiritualism and séance, and sees the child's mind as the one who is reasonable and truthful. (Ages 10 & up)
Kira-Kira, by Cynthia Kadohata (Simon & Schuster). Winner of the Newbery Medal, this story is set in rural Georgia in the 1950s. Kira-kira means "glittering" and Lynn Takeshima sees everything around her that way. The younger sister, Katie, tells the story of trying to understand this world where their parents work tremendously hard in brutal conditions. As Lynn becomes ill, Katie must keep the family together, to bring kira-kira back into their lives. (Ages 12 & up)
City of Ember, by Jeanne DuPrau (Random House). The underground City of Ember was built as a last refuge for the human race hundreds of years ago. But now, resources are running out for all who dwell there. The secret instructions on leaving Ember have been lost, and the corrupt mayor wants the emergency supplies for himself. Twelve year old Lina and her friend Doon, who find the lost instructions, are racing to save the city while the whole town goes dark. Do they find the "outside" world? Read it and find out! The sequel City of Sparks continues the story. The movie premiers this fall. (Ages 10 & up)

ROTC students take oath
By Mark Nolte
Twenty-six BYU students entered active duty in the U.S. Air Force Monday as they took the oath of office from a high-ranking Air Force official.
The Air Force"s Chief of Staff, Gen. John Jumper, told the 26 newly commissioned second lieutenants and their families that today"s young servicemen and women are tomorrow"s heroes. He then administered the oath of office to the officers in the Harris Fine Arts Center.
"If you haven"t already, you are about to become part of something larger than yourself," Jumper said to the 26 officers waiting to be commissioned.
Jumper"s stories of heroism often moved the audience of family, friends and fellow servicemen to cheers and applause.
Jumper told the story of Senior Airman Jason Cunningham, who lost his life in Afghanistan as he directed others to safety after their helicopter was shot down and surrounded by enemy fire.
Another hero, Jumper said, was Capt. Cherry, who led a successful fleet of aircraft into enemy territory during the Kosovo conflict to retrieve an F-117 Stealth Fighter pilot who had ejected from his jet.
"Make no mistake – if you believe like I do, they (past military heroes) are here with us today," Jumper said. "Are we worthy? The answer is yes because of the people sitting on the stage behind me."
Col. Roger Maher, detachment commander and an aerospace studies professor at BYU, left a blessing with the new officers, using his authority as an ecclesiastical leader.
Maher told the officers that if they remember who they are, the Lord will bless them, their way of life and the freedom of America.
The 26 BYU officers expressed little anxiety or fear after they took their oaths of office, even as Jumper made several references to the "current crisis" in Iraq.
"I"m just moving to a different phase of life, to something new," said newly commissioned officer, Dan Meecham. "I"ve just had the dream to fly (jets) since I was little."
Meecham, the first member in his family to serve in the Air Force, said his parents were very supportive.
George Cahoon, parent of recently commissioned Troy Lee Cahoon, was also supportive of his son"s decision to serve in the U.S. military.
"What makes me proud is that he is doing more than I did when I was in school," George Cahoon said.
Despite the current conflict and loss of life associated with the war in Iraq, Nikki Root, aunt of newly commissioned John Root, said she supports her nephew"s decision to serve in the Air Force.
"We need God-fearing people in our military who are willing to give their all," Nikki Root said.
Nikki Root is well acquainted with military service. When she was first married, Root did not want to deal with the stresses that came with her husband"s military service. But during her husband"s service, she learned to appreciate the role of the U.S. military and how to use her membership in the Church of Jesus Christ for unique service opportunities.
"They expect more from LDS personnel," Nikki Root said. "If you do something wrong, they are really disappointed."
Root said Jumper"s words resonated with her. She said her nephew and other officers who share his beliefs will have special opportunities to serve and do missionary work while serving in the Air Force.

How similar do the actors in the Olivia miniseries look to the real-life people?
The first episode of Olivia: Hopelessly Devoted to You stayed pretty close to the true story of Olivia Newton-John's life, but what about the miniseries' second instalment? Here are the questions we most want answered after watching episode two.
Is that really how Olivia met Matt Lattanzi on the set of Xanadu?
This is likely an instance of events being "fictionalised for dramatic purposes", since the story of the pair roller-skating into each other doesn't appear to have been told previously (and surely it would have been). Olivia's daughter, Chloe, has revealed that it was her mother's co-star Gene Kelly that introduced her to Lattanzi, who played the younger version of Kelly's character and was also a backing dancer in the big production numbers.
Who is Olivia's friend Nancy?
Played by Diana Glenn, Nancy Chuda is a screenwriter and broadcast journalist, who gave birth to her daughter, Colette, around the same time the Lattanzis had Chloe. As depicted on-screen, Chuda and husband Jim lost Colette when she was just five to a rare, non-genetic form of cancer. Since then, Nancy has worked extensively to promote children's environmental health protections.
Was ONJ reluctant to record "Physical"?
Yes, although apparently the song was presented to her by former manager/boyfriend Lee Kramer (Todd Lasance) and not Roger Davies (Gyton Grantley). Looking back on the Australian and American chart-topping single, Livvy has said, "I had a bit of a panic session. I went, 'Oh my God! I can't put this out. It's way too radical! What are people going to think of me?'"
What happened with Olivia's stalker?
Michael Owen Perry, the stalker depicted in the miniseries but not Olivia's only stalker, was found guilty of the murder of five people following his killing spree in his Louisiana hometown. He was sentenced to the death penalty, a punishment that has never been allowed to take place due to his insanity. Instead, he remains on death row. Around the same time as Perry was stalking Olivia, she was also the target of Ralph Nau, who twice travelled to Australia from the US in an attempt to locate her. Nau, who also stalked Cher and killed his step-brother, was committed to an Illinois mental institution, where he remains today.
Who is Gregg Cave, Olivia's friend who was a companion to her mother?
A one-time recording artist (see above) and actor—he appeared in early '80s drama Carson's Law and on The Ossie Ostrich Video Show—Gregg Cave (aka Greg Caves) left the entertainment business to work as an art consultant. He, Olivia and a couple of their friends did end up opening the Gaia Retreat & Spa in the Byron Bay hinterland, and it is an incredibly successful and well-reviewed establishment.
Did Olivia really not lose her hair during chemotherapy?
Yes, as shown in the miniseries, Olivia opted to wear a cold cap, which contains a gel cooled to -35 degrees. The process stops the blood flow (and therefore the cancer-fighting toxins injected into the body) from reaching hair follicles.
What TV show did Matt Lattanzi come to Australia to work on?
It's not named in the miniseries, but he appeared in Paradise Beach, a short-lived early evening soap on the Nine Network that debuted in May 1993. Lattanzi played American character Cooper Hart and the show's producers had aspirations of the series becoming a hit in the US. Original cast members included then-unknowns Ingo Rademacher, Kimberley Joseph and Manu Bennett (then known as Jon). Established stars Melissa Bell and Melissa Tkautz later joined the series, but it was off the air by mid-1994.
Did Olivia and Chloe really make a Christmas movie together?
What actually happened with Patrick McDermott?
After disappearing from a fishing boat in mid-2005, Olivia's one-time boyfriend was initially presumed drowned, but lingering suspicions about the possibility that he may have faked his own death led to ongoing investigations by American TV series America's Most Wanted and Dateline NBC. Multiple sightings of McDermott and reports that he is now living in Mexico have emerged in the years since, but there is yet to be definitive proof of his whereabouts.

Cronistoria

Annuario

Classifiche UCI
Fino al 1998, le squadre ciclistiche erano classificate dall'UCI in un'unica divisione. Nel 1999 la classifica a squadre venne divisa in prima, seconda e terza categoria (GSI, GSII e GSIII), mentre i corridori rimasero in classifica unica. Nel 2005 fu introdotto l'UCI ProTour e, parallelamente, i Circuiti continentali UCI; dal 2009 le gare del circuito ProTour sono state integrate nel Calendario mondiale UCI, poi divenuto UCI World Tour.

Nineteen of the world's most climate vulnerable countries signed the 'Dhaka Declaration of the Climate Vulnerable Forum', calling for a climate deal to follow the Kyoto Protocol.
Supported by the Development Assistance Research Associates (DARA) the Climate Vulnerable Forum – a two day ministerial meeting held in Bangladesh – brought together countries such as Afghanistan, the Maldives and Nepal who are already feeling the effects of climate change – through rising sea levels, flooding and more frequent droughts.
The signatories also urged developed countries to accept their "historical responsibility" for climate change and their pledge to help communities to reduce their vulnerability.
The declaration highlighted the vulnerable countries commitment to adaptation and their "resolve to demonstrate moral leadership" through low carbon development, calling for a new global Climate Vulnerability Monitor on low-carbon development.
The current Climate Vulnerability Monitor, put together by DARA, aims to assess how defenceless different regions across the world are to effects of climate change.
In order to apply their adaptation and mitigation measures, the declaration called for early establishment of the Green Climate Fund – to be operational by 2013 at the latest – with priority given to the most vulnerable communities. Developed countries should make firm commitments, reaching $100 billion per year, according to the declaration.
The declaration also said vulnerable countries will need support from the international community with technology transfer and called for resources for the Climate Technology Centre and Networks included in the Cancun Agreements to be prioritised and for the Clean Development Mechanism to be scaled up.
This call comes amid increasingly bleak outlooks for the Climate Summit taking place in less than two weeks time.
Both in the UK and the EU doubts have been raised over whether a deal can be made, while countries such as Russia, Japan and Canada have spoke out against a second commitment period under the Kyoto Protocol.
All of the countries present at the Climate Vulnerable Forum have been affected by climate change whether from sea-level rise, flooding to droughts.
And while these countries met in Dhaka, in Kampala the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change are meeting to finalise their latest report on the links between climate change and extreme weather.
A draft summary of the report, leaked to Associated Press earlier this month, found a 2 in 3 chance that weather events have and will continue to be affected by climate change – the result more floods, heat waves, droughts and greater costs as a result.
By the end of the century, the intense, single-day rainstorms which typically occur every 20 years could happen twice a decade, according to the report.
At the opposite end of the spectrum, droughts will happen more often too, according to the report, and heat waves could peak as much as 5 degrees hotter by mid-century and even 9 degrees hotter by the end of the century.

Nehammer to be sworn in as Austrian leader on Monday
4 December 2021, 11:26 am ·2-min read
Austrian conservatives pick new leader for party and country
VIENNA (Reuters) - Immigration hardliner Karl Nehammer https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/austrias-next-chancellor-ex-soldier-hardliner-survivor-2021-12-03 will be sworn in as Austrian chancellor on Monday, the presidency said, after being thrust into leadership by tumult among his conservative People's Party following the resignation of fallen star Sebastian Kurz.
Nehammer https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/austrias-next-chancellor-ex-soldier-hardliner-survivor-2021-12-03, 49, succeeded Kurz as party chief on Friday and will lead the coalition government with the Greens.
He takes over a party in disarray since Kurz stepped down https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/austrias-kurz-says-stepping-down-chancellor-2021-10-09 as chancellor in October because he had been placed under criminal investigation on suspicion of corruption offences. Kurz denies wrongdoing.
President Alexander Van der Bellen will swear in Nehammer, who is now interior minister, at Monday's ceremony, the presidency said in a statement on Saturday.
Nehammer, a former soldier and communications adviser, has said he plans to maintain the central law-and-order themes of Kurz's two stints as chancellor since 2017.
He also said fighting the coronavirus would be a top priority. Austria is in lockdown as authorities seek to ease pressure on hospitals dealing with high infection rates.
Kurz's resignation as party leader on Thursday sent shockwaves through the party and prompted two of his closest allies, current Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg and Finance Minister Gernot Bluemel, to say they too would step down.
Schallenberg had been in the job for less than two months.
Bluemel is under investigation in a separate corruption case and also denies wrongdoing. Both he and Kurz said that having newborn children had motivated their decisions.

Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) chairman-elect Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) today will meet with Legislative Speaker Wang Jin-pyng (王金平) to discuss the details of the party's upcoming 17th national convention, which begins on Friday and will involve talks about reform and how to handle the issue of the party's "stolen" assets.
After losing the KMT chairmanship election to Ma last month, Wang has refused to meet the Taipei mayor, and rejected Ma's offer to allow him to retain his vice chairmanship.
Acting on outgoing Chairman Lien Chan's (連戰) orders, Ma will once again try to persuade Wang to stay in his post during today's meeting, according to the director of Ma's campaign office, Chan Chuen-pao (詹春柏) yesterday. Chen is considered to be a hopeful for the KMT secretary-general's post.
However, it is believed that Wang, who has described himself as "an eternal volunteer for the KMT," will firmly reject Ma's invitation to assume one of four vice chairmanships of the KMT, because Wang has already accepted an appointment letter to become the chairman of the KMT's Central Review Committee provided by Lien.
Ma, who yesterday went to Taitung County and Hualien County to meet with local party members, said that he was confident that the KMT would only be more united than before after the chairmanship election that Ma referred to as "big progress" for the party.
"I know that many of our members have felt ashamed to acknowledge their KMT membership, but now they are so proud of the party's progress," Ma said.
"It is allright that, no matter who you voted for in the chairmanship election -- whether you voted for Wang or Ma -- what counts is that the KMT is the only party you support," Ma said to the audience.
In response to suggestions from some members of employing more of the young generation in the party, Ma said that he will appoint the leader of the KMT's youth group as one of the party's chairpersons, and stressed that cultivation of youthful elite will be a major issue for the KMT. Lien's son, Lien Sheng-wen (連勝文) and vice chairman Wu Po-hsiung's (吳伯雄) son, Wu Chih-kang (吳志剛), who have both been elected as KMT delegates in Taipei, are regarded as prospective candidates to lead the youth group.
The KMT's 17th national convention, which will run on Friday and Saturday, will hold a handing-over ceremony of the chairmanship and Ma will give his inauguration speech that will announce significant declarations, including the issues on the reforms of party affairs and party assets, recruitment of new members and visions to the future, according to Chan.
The convention will also approve the appointment of the vice chairpersons nominated by Ma and an election for the party's new central members will be held. The convention will also announce that Lien is going to serve as "honorary chairmen."
