The Bigger the Cushion...
There's one thing you can say about the UPN television network (by vote of the people, the "real" black entertainment network.) They've got fat chicks.
I don't say that disparagingly. UPN and WB network shows like Moesha, The Parkers, The Wayans Brothers and so forth only acknowledge the patently obvious - that there's lots of dudes out there that like big women. (If you feel the need to argue this point, just hop on the Internet where there's 3 "Big Momma" sites for every book sold by Amazon.) And UPN has more than just big women, it has, if you pardon my use of the vernacular, "fine" big women. Big women with big hooters. Big women with big behinds. Big women who know they're fine and aren't afraid to act sexy (and are backed by a network that isn't afraid to let them.)
But is it just a black thing? Lord knows, if you look for size 12's on the white channels, it's slim pickins.' Most NBC shows such as Will and Grace or Friends feature twigs walking around in blonde wigs and Guess jeans while spouting rhetoric from the post-Seinfeld school of ironic wit. The entire female cast of FOX's Beverly Hills 90210 comes in at about 120 pounds. (You can throw in Ally Mcbeal to make it an even 125.) Now that Roseanne's gone the only real standout from any of the networks is that fat chick on The Practice*, and she was such an anomaly that she got a book deal out of the whole thing.
Is it a simple case of white folk like 'em small and Black folk like 'em big?
For one thing, if you peruse through your collection of Playboys, circa 1968, you see a lot of large white women. Not "fat" certainly, but with more flesh to them than the toothpicks that float on fashion runways and populate the white television networks. Betty Page, Jane Mansfield, or Marilyn Monroe clearly weren't opposed to the occasional steak dinner. And look at the entire cast of "The Facts of Life": not a scarecrow amongst them. Obviously things weren't always the way they seem now.
And I'm not afraid to admit that I (the whitest cracker around) like women with a little meat on 'em. Not necessarily gigantic, mind you, but I think it's insane that the name "Drew Barrymore" and the phrase "larger sized woman" ever show up in the same paragraph. But the fashion mags and sitcoms of this generation seem intent on convincing the young women of the day that if they can't see their spinal column through their belly they're not getting invited to the prom.
This seems more a case of "the viagra chewing producers of Hollywood and bulimic fashion editors of Manhattan like 'em small and the rest of us like em... well, all sizes."
Not that this love affair with the petite is only seen amongst the upper class. During the whole Clinton scandal I had to listen to more them one drunken compatriot at the neighborhood bar exclaim something like "I don't what Bill Clinton ever saw in Monica Lewinsky. You'd never catch me with that whale." (To which I'd usually reply, "You remember last Friday? When you went home with a woman who looked like Monica Lewinsky's grandmother?") And working class women always seem to throw out a line about their nemesis's weight, right before they extend their claws and get on with the hissing and biting.
Obviously, television will always be about appearance, there's no escaping that. But I do think that the main networks, the fashion mags and the movie world are all painting themselves into a corner with their obsession over rail thing twiggified models. If you plot out on a graph the ever dwindling weight quotient of female actresses you come to the conclusion that in 2034 all TV comedies will feature talking skeletons. TV programmers say "we only play what the people (the advertisers target audience) ask for" but in this case I don't think that's true. For all long time now, "the people" (read: beer guzzling, chip eating 35 year old white guys) have been saying "We want some variety man! We want some reality. Instead of taunting us with spider women that wouldn't look twice at us on the street, how about a few real-looking gals that we'd actually stand a chance with at the local T.G.I.F.'s."
By the way, every time I look at Calista Flockhart I want to throw up. (And apparently, so does she.)
*Actually, there's also Kathy Najimy from Veronica's Closet, but she's obviously only there so Kirstie Alley won't feel like the "large one."

Beginners Prohormone Stack -Epi Plex, milk thistle and Clomadex, the beginners prohormone stack.
This Stack provides you with everything you need for your cycle which includes our most popular Pro-Hormone, On Cycle Protection and Post Cycle Therapy.
This was my first stack.
Noticed an increase in strenght and recovery speed from the second week on to the last week.
No side effects except for feeling a bit tired, added some caffeine and problem solved.
Gained 2 kg of muscle, so overall pretty good stack.
This was my first cycle and it was GREAT. I started at 200 ended at 220 , I've lost about 5 pounds but im still noticeably bigger. I used this stack as a bulking one so I put on a lot of mass. I didnt really experience a rough shutdown at all. I did start to experience sides but that was week 5 and 6 . After cycle I went to maintaince calories and I pretty much retained most strength . I can lift the same weight but with fewer reps now. If I were you I wouldn't try to go to heavy on the cycle I would lift something that you could maintain after cycke so you dont lose size. I would recommend this to anyone . It was absolutely great.
this Stack helped me get to a New level. and without the sides and dangers from other, steriods, which might be more effective, but bring a World of other issues..
no Problems after either.. might have lost a Kilo or two, but ive put it back on already. good Stack for beginners too. and the store is Quick and reliable..
Gains de 2.2kg en 4 semaines, perte de gras, apres la relance 1.8kg d'acquis, aucun effet secondaire pour ma part, diet juste excedentaire de 150 calories/jour durant le cycle, je suis tres satisfait.
I'm only giving 4 stars as I'm only on week 2 but happy to pop back and review again. As personal preference I'd like to have these in 10's as opposed to 20s to give a little more freedom with dose amount but other than that excellent stack to start with .

Cernobbio: A Hub of Luxury and Prestige in Lake Como
Stefano Giacci
Cernobbio is a little town of luxury and grace, with a strategic position for visiting Como, and recognized worldwide as a prestigious destination. But there's more to it: Cernobbio is also a privileged travel hub on Lake Como, allowing you to reach many other exciting destinations, as well as a little chest of some rare dolce vita jewels: let's discover them together.
How to get to Cernobbio
Getting to Cernobbio will be like taking candy from a baby: its position makes it one of the easiest villages to reach on the entire Lake Como.
The starting point will be Milan, more specifically the railway station of Milano Cadorna (green/red metro lines). From there, trains bound to the station of Como Lago depart twice per hour, for a price of €4.80. Make sure you validate your ticket before traveling (keep an eye on the yellow machines around the station or, if you are given a paper ticket, make sure you fill it up with a pen), and, after just over an hour of relaxing trip, the still waters of Lake Como will unveil themselves.
A valid alternative is starting the trip from the railway station of Milano Centrale: same price, same duration, different station of arrival (Como S. Giovanni). Always check the official website for accurate information, possible variations on the routes, and special discounts.
From Como, Cernobbio can be reached in the blink of an eye. The C10 bus departs both from Como Lago and S. Giovanni: it offers 1-2 trips per hour for a price of €1.70. The trip usually lasts 10 minutes.
LCE tip: Cernobbio is connected to Como through a pleasant and scenic promenade, a potential stage of a proper dolce vita tale. Have a glass of prosecco while staring at the sunset, jump onto a bike and cycle towards Cernobbio, enjoying the nice weather and the greetings from the swans lazily floating on the waters. At your arrival, find a welcome dinner ready at your accommodation of choice. How does that sound?
Get behind the wheel and boost some tunes, a new road trip is about to start!
From Milan, get the A9/E35 freeway, exit at Como, and switch to the SS340 road. After about 1.6 miles, Cernobbio will appear in all its beauty. The total duration of the trip will be around 1 hour.
Cernobbio – Lake Como Experiences©
Things to do in Cernobbio
For centuries, Cernobbio has been Lake Como's favorite travel destination of aristocracy and bourgeoisie from Como and Milan. The inheritance of such a bright past is nowadays spread around the town, studded with ancient villas and gardens. But Cernobbio can also be a trendy and vibrant place, which perfectly embodies Lake Como's delicate mix of history, nature, relaxation, and luxury. Let's see together the best Cernobbio has to offer.
Have a walk on the lake promenade and have a coffee at Harry's bar
A timeless classic of any proper experience on Lake Como. A romantic walk on the promenade and enjoying Cernobbio' beach can neutralize any worry or preoccupation, gently blown away by the soft summer breeze from the lake. For a proper grand final, stop by the Harry's Bar: a cozy atmosphere with a '60s aftertaste will add some extra flavor to your lunch, coffee, or Bellini.
Visit Villa Pizzo
Cernobbio resonates with luxury and elegance, values that are embodied by the charming Villa Pizzo. The mansion was built during the 17th century, on the promontory of the Cernobbio Gulf.
Did you know? Villa Pizzo takes its name from the rocky spur on which it dwells: in the local dialect, "Piz" means point or projection.
Sail through centuries of history and taste the opulence of the powerful people who walked its floors, and get enchanted by its majestic gardens. The Villa can be admired in its entirety just from the waters of Lake Como, so we definitely suggest considering the idea of spending a day like a local sailor, indulging in an amazing boat trip.
Tickets for guided visits to the Villa can be purchased for €15, with advantageous discounts often applied: find them all by visiting the website, linked above.
Oh, we almost forgot: if you are planning to spend the rest of your life with your better half, Villa Pizzo can become the location of an exclusive wedding, overflowing with the purest Italian sensations. A place like no other to mark the start of a life together.
Discover Villa Bernasconi
A quirky and innovative museum experience in Cernobbio. The Villa itself will be the narrator of its own history, telling all the secrets and vicissitudes of those who walked its floors. Entrance tickets can be purchased for €8.00, with free entrance for people under 14 years old and above 75 years old.
Bonus tip: Do you feel adventurous? Hike along the first portion of Via Dei Monti Lariani. This is an ancient trail from back in the centuries by local farm workers. The full trail starts in Cernobbio and reaches the village of Sorico, in the uppermost part of Lake Como. We suggest starting with the first part of the hike, connecting Cernobbio to the village of S. Fedele D'Intelvi. It takes a full day to get there, but the nature surrounding you and the jaw-dropping views will widely pay you back for your effort. Moreover, you can easily stop before reaching S.Fedele, have an amazing picnic in the peace of the woods, and descend to Cernobbio for some well-deserved relaxation.

Where to eat in Cernobbio
Imagine a perfect fusion between style, elegance, and the universally acclaimed Italian cuisine. Cernobbio's restaurants offer the best of local and national gastronomy, always with a unique touch of experimentation.
Ristorante Materia
The only limit imposed to creativity is the absolute rigor in only picking the finest seasonal ingredients. Ristorante Materia is a lighthouse of gastronomy in Cernobbio, proudly gleaming with the brightness of 1 Michelin Star, and proposing an enlightening, almost spiritual food adventure.
La Veranda
It is the main restaurant of Villa D'Este, one of the most celebrated luxury 5-stars hotels all over the world. La Veranda offers a fine composition of the best Italian preparations, paying a tribute to the lands, seas and mountains of the Bel Paese. A selection of over 500 wine labels and the delicious view of the Villa's private garden will be the final touch.
Il Gatto Nero
It is hard to identify the most memorable feature of Il Gatto Nero: could it be the breathtaking panorama offered by the wide terrace overlooking Lake Como? Or maybe the exquisite quality of the courses prepared by chef Stefania, constantly searching for the rarest pearls of Lombardy's food culture? We don't have an answer. What we are 100% sure of, is that Il Gatto Nero is the place of choice of George Clooney and many other international stars, whenever they happen to be in Cernobbio; we are quite sure it's not a simple coincidence.
Casa Perrotta
The vision of two brothers from Southern Italy was materialized in Casa Perrotta, one of the most interesting restaurants in Cernobbio. Here, the Italian regions are no longer separated by their boundaries: a mix of different regional traditions will give you the unique gift of traveling through Italy, comfortably sitting at your table. Buon appetito.

Villa D'Este – Lake Como Experiences©
When it comes to private accommodations and hotels, Cernobbio lives up to its name, offering a wide range of luxurious and prestigious selections for the most demanding travelers.
Hotel Villa d'Este
"Here everything is noble and touching, everything speaks of love". That's how French writer Stendhal described Villa D'Este, known for being one of the most luxurious hotels in the world. The Villa is a luxury 5-star dream where perfection is pursued and achieved in every little nuance of hospitality, from the royal suites and the private villas, passing by the floating pool on Lake Como and the amazing sports areas to private docks where to arrive in style on board of a classic Italian wooden boat. The apotheosis of luxury.
Hotel Miralago
This family tradition was passed throughout generations and transformed into a top-notch hospitality experience. Hotel Miralago is located in the very center of Cernobbio, a few steps from the shores of Lake Como. Raffaella and Giuliano look after their guests as if they were family, combining coziness, exclusivity, and a taste of familiarity. Your stay at Miralago will make you feel closer to home than ever.
Grand Hotel Imperiale
Located in the neighboring town of Moltrasio, Grand Hotel Imperiale is one of the most charming resorts on Lake Como, featuring views of immeasurable beauty, fine suits, and a spa so relaxing it makes its guests forget about the existence of the outside world.
Villa Napoleone I
Another gorgeous accommodation in Moltrasio, less than 5 minutes from Cernobbbio. It's the ideal solution for those who cherish their privacy, without renouncing all the luxuries of a stay on Lake Como should guarantee. From the ancient frescoes to the marble fireplace, any space of the house is designed to make you feel royal, allying comfort, and modernity.
Hotel Asnigo
The best view in Cernobbio, hands down. The perfect position of Hotel Asnigo endows it with a unique view over Lake Como and the surrounding mountains, all while enjoying a refined and laid-back atmosphere and snuggling in one of the newly renovated suites. Stress is strictly forbidden, at Hotel Asnigo.
Cernobbio: history and fun facts
Cernobbio is an Italian commune in the province of Como: throughout the decades, the quick urbanization process of the area connected it with the town of Como which, from Cernobbio, can be reached in 5-10 minutes.
The historical roots of Cernobbio can be traced back to the 12th century: the village was given the typical castrum (Roman for "campsite") structure and an efficient fishing sector soon thrived. Moreover, being a strategic junction between Como and the more remote parts of the lake, Cernobbio became soon one of the wealthiest villages in the area: during the Middle Age, it could even boast a totally independent government and legislation.
In the XVIII century, the rising Italian bourgeoisie rediscovered Cernobbio as an idyllic vacation site, and the village greatly benefitted: during the past decades, Cernobbio quickly developed a contemporary and luxurious urban tissue, becoming a destination famous worldwide for leisure and business trips.
Nowadays, Cernobbio is a hub for the most prestigious events of Lake Como, often hosted in the sumptuous framework of Villa Erba. A bright example is the yearly Economic Forum, which hosted personalities such as Bill Gates, Barack Obama, Henry Kissinger, and many more.

Show off! A sequel to 2005 box office winner, "The Fantastic Four", "Rise Of The Silver Surfer" sees director Tim Story and the original cast principals return for more super hero schlocky fun. The story is based around the Marvel stories that featured the first appearance of said "Silver Surfer" in the comic book franchise. Silver Surfer (Doug Jones with Laurence Fishburne dubbing the voice) is acting as a herald for the planet devouring Galactus, the next target? Earth. Which is a bit untimely as Reed Richards/Mr Fantastic (Ioan Gruffudd) and Susan Storm/Invisible Woman (Jessica Alba) are trying to get married. Things are further problematic when after his first encounter with the Silver Surfer, Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Chris Evans) finds his powers a bit off - in fact when he touches any of the others I the team their powers are exchanged, much to Ben Grimm/The Thing's (Michael Chiklis) amusement. Not only that, but the military are starting to get heavy and annoyed with the four - and who is this back on the scene? Doctor Doom! (Julian McMahon) Thought he was dead, and how come he's in league with the military now? All of this issues must be addressed or the Earth will suffer the direst of consequences. Budgeted at $130 million, this sequel only just made its money back domestically, however, the Worldwide takings gave it an overall profit of nearly $160 million. Which when you consider that the first film (again raking the coin in) was met with very disdainful reviews (mostly warranted outside of Evans & Chiklis' efforts), it's somewhat surprising. Yet, and it's certainly no towering genre picture, "Silver Surfer" is a hugely enjoyable movie for fans of the source comics and the undemanding popcorn muncher. The fans, and I don't speak for all of them of course, should in the main be happy that the makers have been faithful to the origins of the story. There's also some nifty humour and both Alba and Gruffudd aren't as dull as they were in the first movie. Perhaps they are more comfortable now knowing that the paying public held sway over the critics?. Evans is still the best thing in the franchise (no surprise he would go on to play "Captain America" in "The Avengers" franchise), and the appearance of Andre Braugher as General Hager is a welcome edition. While the effects are considerably better than the poor fodder served up in the first movie - granted it wouldn't have been hard to improve on that score. With a lovely light hearted approach, "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" does its job. In the pantheon of super hero movies it sits some where in the middle, neither great or bad, just honest wholesome family fun. 20th Century Fox have announced that a reboot of the franchise is to come, so while Chris Evans goes off to mouth wateringly play "Captain America", the next lot of actors are charged with the not so easy task of winning over a tough comic book crowd, and, the critics too. 6.5/10

Abstract Coagulation with magnesium was found to be more effective for harvesting microalgae Chlorella zofin-giensis with dissolved air flotation (DAF) than the use of Fe3+, Al3+ or chitosan, and the required coagulant dosage was in the order Mg2+ < chitosan < Al3+ < Fe3+. The Mg2+ dosage required depended on the growth phases and culture medium characteristics. An early exponential culture required the highest Mg2+ dosage (226 mg g(-1)), while a late stationary culture required the lowest dosage (36 mg g(-1)). HPO42- and CO32- in the culture medium competed with the microalgal cells for Mg2+ and increased the Mg2+ dosage necessary. No Mg2+ addition was required to harvest the freshwater microalgae Scenedesmus dimorphus grown in a pond with tap water with a high Mg2+ concentration or the marine microalgae Nannochloropsis sp. The critical coagulation pH ranged between 10.8 and 11.8, with a lower pH requirement at a higher Mg2+ concentration. Magnesium hydroxide precipitated with the harvested biomass; however, over 99.5% of the precipitated Mg2+ was recovered by washing the biomass with 0.1 M HCl. Microalgal harvesting with Mg2+ did not introduce extrinsic coagulant; thus, neither the biomass nor the medium was contaminated. (C) 2016 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg changed the software development game with the well known internet based social media application, Facebook. What began as a path for college students to remain in steady contact with each other, much to his dismay it will transform into a wander that is presently netting the entrepreneur $68.9 billion dollars.
The science, innovation, engineering and arithmetic field has been commanded by white men for time immemorial. By and by, black women are likewise influencing their stamp in the STEM field by being creative, determined and a force to be figured with.
Scroll through to learn about the five black women next in line to become the next Mark Zuckerberg:
Tishauna Wilson
20-year-old Tishauna Wilson stumbled upon her passion for STEM when she was introduced to computers at the age of five by a family member.
In high school, she began repairing computers and even developed a lie detector. Towards the end of high school, she was adept at computer coding.
Now that she is a college student at Florida A&M University (FAMU) Wilson is working on four distinct Artificial Intelligence projects, she's revived the computer science research program at her institution and is challenging herself even further by enrolling in Google's CodeU 12-week immersive engineering program while simultaneously working on a research project "which entails a combination of Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Processing/Understanding, Machine Learning, and Cyber-Security."
Wilson is well aware of the lack of diversity in the STEM field. She says, "I see the challenges, but I'm a believer that if you don't try to go against it, you already lose. I always say that there is nothing that can really stop me, but me. I just trust in Jesus and in my [own] ability and hard work."
Diana Wilson was born in the bustling city of Newark, NJ. Her mother, long ago, came to America with two possessions: twenty dollars and a dream…Steemit
Diana Wilson
Ghanaian-American Diana Wilson is the founder of Yielding Accomplished African Women (Yaa W).
Yaa W is Ghana's first finance and technology accelerator for women.
The yearlong program enables female college students to complete an intensive educational course in finance/technology, leadership development, branding and professional etiquette. It also provides comprehensive certification courses, extensive online training software, and experience with hands-on social impact projects, constructed to ensure every participant masters the fundamental skills requisite for employment at top financial and technology corporations.
Yaa W stands out amongst the crowd because they focus on 1) college women, 2) socio-economic diversity of participants, 3) finance and technology and 4) utilize an interdisciplinary teaching approach. Their vision is necessary, significant and set for high levels of impact.

Tordenskjold & Kold  er en dansk spillefilm fra 2016 instrueret af Henrik Ruben Genz efter manuskript af Erlend Loe. Filmen handler om den dansk-norske søhelt Peter Wessel Tordenskiold, hvis liv er brat forandret efter afslutningen af svenskerkrigen. Han drager på turné med sin kammertjener Kold fra Christianshavn ned gennem Danmark og til en række byer i Nordtyskland.

Handling

Tordenskjold (Jakob Oftebro) er efter krigen mod Sverige blevet udnævnt til viceadmiral, men er yderst rastløs efter den hektiske periode med de succesfulde søslag. Han er en stor helt i Danmark og et trækplaster i selskabslivet. Hans kammertjener Kold (Martin Buch) fungerer i bedste moderne rockmusikerstil som heltens impressario og arrangerer hans besøg i passende selskaber. Kold forsøger også at arrangere et ægteskab med en rig engelsk adelskvinde for ham. For at møde hende tager han turen fra Christiania ned gennem Sønderjylland og til nogle af de store byer i det nordlige Tyskland, og i den forbindelse har den virile Tordenskjold en række affærer med villige kvinder. Men da han når til Hannover, narres han ud i en duel, tilsyneladende arrangeret af hævngerrige svenskere.

County of Los Angeles Commemorates the Armenian Genocide
Armenian Villagers, Ecologists Protest Against New Mining Facility
LOS ANGELES – On Tuesday, April 19, members of the Armenian Council of America joined Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, headed by Supervisor Michael Antonovich to commemorate the 96th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. During the commemoration Supervisor Antonovich presented the Armenian American community of Los Angeles with a proclamation signed by the Board of Supervisors commemorating the 96th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
The proclamation declares April 24, 2011 as a "Day of Remembrance for the Armenian Genocide of 1915-1923" throughout the Los Angeles County in recognition of this 96th Anniversary to keep alive the memory of the victims while recognizing the importance of preventing future atrocities by inspiring discussion and understanding among future generations for the betterment of our community, country, and world.
In his remarks, Antonovich reiterated the need to remember the Armenian Genocide and honor its victims. "To this horrible tragedy, the Armenian community is committed to ensuring that those who died due to their faith, due to their nationality will not be forgotten and that on every April 24th, a day of remembrance of the Armenian Genocide will be recognized throughout the world," stated Supervisor Antonovich "by consistently remembering and openly condemning these atrocities committed against the Armenians, out County once again demonstrates its sensitivity toward the need for the constant vigilance to prevent similar events in the future."
In thanking Supervisor Antonovich, ACA Board Members Peter Darakjian, Mehran Khatchadourian, Yeghia Mazmanian noted the deep gratitude of the Armenian American community towards the County's continued efforts of remembrance and recognition of the Armenian Genocide. "By continuously remembering the atrocities that transpired to the Armenian nation almost a century ago, the County of Los Angeles and its public officials continue to demonstrate the compassion that had been bestowed towards those Armenian refugees that found relief in Los Angeles as they escaped certain death by the Ottoman Turks." said Yeghia Mazmanian.
"It is the same attributes conveyed by the Board of Supervisors that gives the Armenian American community solace that one day justice will prevail, and the Turkish government will come to terms with historical reality." continued Mazmanian.
Also present at the commemoration were Consul General of the Republic of Armenia in Los Angeles, Krikor Hovhannissian, and Archbishop Vatche Hovsepian.

Join Dave Crenshaw for an in-depth discussion in this video Understanding the costs and benefits of a remote workforce, part of Small Business Secrets.
- As a small business owner you may want to consider working with remote employees. By "remote employee" and I mean someone who doesn't physically work in your office and may work in a different part of the country, or even a different part of the world. This can be an attractive option to saving money and some time. Now, rather than telling you whether or not you should or shouldn't work with remote employees, I want to explore some of the benefits and the costs of using this as an option. First of all, one benefit is that you're working from a wider pool of talent.
This means that when you try to hire someone you're not just hiring someone in your own city, you're now looking at people all around the world, and that gives you an option of finding people who are very, very talented, that you may never have had the option to use before. Also, you may find that you're paying less salary by working with a remote employee. That could be because of differences in the economies, or it could also be because someone is more willing to work for less because they have the flexibility of working out of their own home.
Also, you may save money on physical facilities. If you have to have an office space where lots of people are working, that can be a tremendous overhead cost for your small business, but remote employees, well, they're remote and there is no need to pay for an office. And also, you may find it easier to develop talent and retain people when you give employees the option of working from their own home; That makes them more likely to want to stay with you. You've created flexibility, and that's attractive to many employees.
Now let's consider some of the costs. First of all there's a cultural cost to your business. I'm talking just about the business culture itself. There's value in having employees that work and interact with each other, and if they're working remotely we may not be able to have that same kind of cultural boost that happens in a confined environment. Second is the issue of accent. Perhaps you have someone who's working from a different country who has a different accent than your customers use.
You may run into issues with that if they're using a phone and may find that you need to invest some money in helping them change their accent to match your customers. Third, there can be infrastructure issues. In particular if you're working with someone in a less developed country, they may run into issues. For instance, perhaps electricity doesn't work as much and they have brownouts from time to time. And that leads to four, is communication. When someone is in a remote environment you may find it a little bit harder to communicate with them either because they're in a different time zone or just simply because you don't have the convenience of walking into their office.
You may also experience issues with loyalty. Because there isn't that face-to-face interaction, it's a little easier for them to not care quite so much about your business. And finally, a remote employee is just not fit where physical interaction is necessary. If I'm needing to give people material and documents, that's not the same as working with someone remotely. Remote employees work best when everything takes place over the Internet.
Now, one more caution. If you as an individual aren't very tech savvy, let's just say that computers aren't your friend, remote employees are probably not a fit for you because technology is a key component of working with these kinds of employees. If you struggle with computers now you'll likely struggle greatly in trying to manage remote employees. But, if after exploring all these options you find that working with remote employees is a fit for your business, it's a powerful way to grow and get help while keeping an eye on the costs.

EP 394: Richard Clarke and Robert Knake on Cyber War
Ben Mathis
Richard A. Clarke and Robert K. Knake have served as the top cyber security experts to three Presidents, and they discuss their new book The Fifth Domain: Defending Our Country, Our Companies, and Ourselves in the Age of Cyber Threats. They discuss Russia's interference in the 2016 election and say that Russia will almost certainly try it again in 2020. They warn against the folly of continuing to allow local state bureaucrats to ensure the integrity of America's electronic voting machines and suggest that Russia's 2015 shutdown of Ukraine's power grid might have been a dry run for a similar attack on the grid here in the US. Clarke predicts that the next war that America enters will likely be triggered by a cyber attack. They discuss the offensive and defensive potential of new technology like artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and 5G. They advocate for private companies to take greater ownership of their own data security instead expecting the government to protect them from attacks. Plus they offer a few steps that every listener should take to protect themselves from cyber crime.

text:
There are a number of similar L298 Arduino shields and stand-alone modules, and if you use one of these, just remember to adjust the I/O connections accordingly. On the DFRobot shield, the motors are connected to pins 4/5 and 6/7. Each motor uses two pins: one for direction and one for control.
Listing 1 is a demo Arduino sketch that cycles through the basic functions of DC motor control for a robot: moving it forward and backward; steering it left or right; and stopping.
The control pin for each motor can also be used with pulse width modulation (PWM) to set the speed of the motor. Listing 2 shows how this is done using the Arduino's analog Write statement. To set the speed of the motor, you specify a number from 0 (off) to 255 (full on). These values control the duty cycle — the ratio between on and off times — of a fast series of pulses sent to the motor.
Not all motors respond to very low duty cycles. When used with the Tamiya worm gearmotors, values under about 96 have little or no effect. That's why the for loop in Listing 2 starts at 96, and goes to 255.
Important note! In programming code, the physical direction of a DC motor is ambiguous. It all depends on how the motor is wired to the control circuitry. I intentionally wired both motors in the exact same way to the L298 shield which then required that the motors be commanded in opposite — one motor is set to LOW, while the other is set to HIGH. This propels the bot forward or backward. If a motor doesn't turn in the direction you want it to, merely flip its wiring to the control circuit.
FIGURE 7. A much larger version of the Mini T-Bot, made with a pair of 12" T straps.
Using Larger Ts for Larger Bots
You're not limited to just the 6" T strap. By using a bigger T, you can construct a larger (and heftier) robot. For your reference, Table 1 are the specifications of the most commonly available sizes of Simpson Strong-Tie strapping Ts and their weight in ounces.
Yikes! ... the 1212T strap weighs almost a pound, so you'll need bigger motors (and batteries) to haul that kind of weight around.
The robot brute in Figure 7 uses a pair of 12" straps, separated by 5" long aluminum tubing used as risers. In this

Federal Arbitration Act's One-Year Time Period Seen as Strict
The one-year statute of limitations for seeking federal court confirmation of an award under the Federal Arbitration Act is to be strictly construed, a federal judge in New York ruled. Running contrary to most other federal courts that have considered the issue, the judge said the "plain language" of the act, and an analogous 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling, dictate that the limitation is mandatory and not permissive.
By Mark Hamblett | June 19, 2002 at 12:00 AM
The one-year statute of limitations for seeking federal court confirmation of an award under the Federal Arbitration Act is to be strictly construed, a Southern District of New York judge has ruled. Running contrary to most other federal courts that have considered the issue, Senior Judge Whitman Knapp said that the "plain language" of the act, and an analogous ruling by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, dictate that the one-year limitation period is mandatory and not permissive. Knapp's decision in Photopaint Technologies v. Smartlens Corporation, 01 Civ. 8877, effectively reopens a dispute over a license agreement by refusing to confirm an arbitration award of more than $300,000 to Photopaint. Photopaint's 1997 license agreement with Smartlens to develop patented technology contained an arbitration clause invoked in 1998 when Smartlens allegedly breached the agreement. The arbitrator who heard the dispute signed a final award on May 26, 2000, that gave either party the right to rescind the license agreement within 30 days of receipt of the award. While Photopaint was entitled to receive about $320,000 if it chose to rescind, the company was set to receive approximately $384,000 if Smartlens opted to rescind the agreement. The parties then signed a series of extensions while they worked on a settlement. But unable to settle the case, Photopaint chose to rescind in July 2000. And when Smartlens refused to pay the $320,000, Photopaint filed a petition with Judge Knapp seeking confirmation of the arbitration award on Oct. 3, 2001, under the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. � 9. Smartlens moved to dismiss the petition, claiming it was time-barred under � 9′s one-year statute of limitations, which states that "a party wishing to confirm an arbitration award may apply to the court for a confirmation order any time within one year after the award is made." Smartlens' argument was that the one-year period began running with the arbitrator's entry of a final award on May 26, 2000. Photopaint countered by arguing that the use of the phrase "may apply" by Congress implied a permissive rather than a mandatory limit. "The interpretation urged by Photopaint would impermissibly read the phrase 'one year' out of Section 9," Knapp said. "Such a reading is unwarranted where, as here, the phrase 'may apply' can be reconciled with the one-year limitations period enumerated in Section 9 without rendering that limitations period altogether superfluous." The use of the term "may," he said, merely "qualifies a party's right" to apply to the court for an order confirming the award. Although there was no 2nd Circuit decision directly on point, Knapp said the circuit reached a similar conclusion when confronted with a three-year limitations period in the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards in Seetransport v. Navimpex Centrala Navla, 989 F.2d 572 (1993). Knapp also said his decision "is at odds with the contrary interpretation of Section 9 adopted by the majority of federal courts which have addressed the issue," including a 1996 decision by Southern District of New York Judge Lawrence M. McKenna. McKenna had found the limitations period in the act a "permissive provision" in In the Matter of the Arbitration Between Gronager v. Gilmore Securities & Co., 104 F.3d 355 (S.D.N.Y. 1996). But Knapp said: "With due respect to the courts which have determined that 9 U.S.C. Section 9 does not impose a one-year statute of limitations, we find that the plain language of the statute compels a contrary conclusion." BENEFIT OF DOUBT Knapp then addressed Photopaint's argument that it should be given the benefit of the doubt. While the arbitrator forwarded his decision to the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in May 2000, the company said, the AAA did not notify the parties until Oct. 3, 2000. Knapp was not persuaded. "Although the Final Award may not have been delivered to the parties until October 3, 2000, the arbitrator here decided the dispute before him on May 26, 2000," he said. "Even if we had reason to doubt the arbitrator's assessment of when he rendered the Final Award, we would still find that he made his decision with respect to the award on May 26th, for the Final Award constitutes a complete determination that was not contingent on any further decrees on the arbitrator's part." The judge rejected Photopaint's argument that Smartlens should be equitably estopped from invoking the statute of limitations because it agreed to toll all time periods during the doomed settlement talks. Kevin M. Hart and Craig S. Hilliard of Stark & Stark in Princeton, N.J., represented Photopaint. Michael Sweedler and Kandis M. Khan of New York-based Darby & Darby represented Smartlens.

The Insiders were a professional wrestling tag team in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) composed of Diamond Dallas Page and Kevin Nash. Together, the two wrestlers won the WCW World Tag Team Championship twice; the reigns were Nash's eighth and ninth and Page's third and fourth. Nash had previously been tag team champion six times with Scott Hall and once with Sting while Page's two other reigns were as part of the Jersey Triad with Kanyon and Bam Bam Bigelow.

The Vegas Connection (1992)[edit]
See also: Diamond Exchange
Nash and Page's connection began while both were performing for WCW in 1991. Nash, who at the time was known as Vinnie Vegas, joined Page's continuation of his American Wrestling Association stable, the Diamond Exchange (known in WCW as the "Diamond Mine"). Nash's stablemates were Scott Hall, who was wrestling as the Diamond Studd at the time, and Scott Levy, who was known as Scotty Flamingo.[1][2] After Hall left for the World Wrestling Federation at the end of the year, the remaining members of the group became known as the Vegas Connection as Page and Vegas would team and accompany Flamingo to the ring.[1] This incarnation was short-lived, as Page suffered a torn rotator cuff in a match against Tex Slazenger and Shanghai Pierce in late 1992.[3] Following the injury Nash and Levy left for the WWF, while Page was fired. While the three men would later wrestle in WCW at the same time once Levy— under his more popular name, Raven— rejoined WCW in 1997, there was no further effort made to team the three (although Nash had tried several times to recruit Page into the nWo once he made his return to the company in 1996).
The Insiders (2000–2001)[edit]
In late 2000, after The Natural Born Thrillers turned on Kevin Nash, DDP and Nash reformed their team and called themselves The Insiders, a play on Nash's team with Scott Hall, The Outsiders, and the reportedly close friendships each man had with WCW officials, particularly Eric Bischoff. They feuded with the Perfect Event (Shawn Stasiak and Chuck Palumbo) and won the WCW World Tag Team Championship at WCW Mayhem on November 26, 2000.[4][5] Shortly after, they were stripped of the titles by Commissioner Mike Sanders in mid-December. Weeks later, they won the titles back at WCW Starrcade.[6][7] By February 2001, the team had split up again, and the company was purchased by the World Wrestling Federation the following month.

Un versolari (en euskera bertsolari, literalmente 'versificador') es un improvisador popular de versos en vasco. Los versolaris se dedican a componer, cantar y/o improvisar versos en euskera, llamados 'bertsoak', improvisando al momento sus versos siguiendo unas reglas de rima y métrica concretas.

El versolari como sujeto activo de la poesía oral
El versolari es considerado "sujeto activo de la poesía oral", aunque otros autores como Bernardo Atxaga lo expresen de otra manera:

Labor del versolari
El poeta y estudioso del versolarismo Juan Mari Lekuona, sobrino de Manuel de Lekuona, describió la tarea del poeta de la siguiente manera:

Historia
Manuel de Lekuona, en el congreso realizado por Eusko Ikaskuntza en 1930, en Vergara, con su conocido discurso llevó el origen del bertsolarismo hasta el neolítico, siendo los primeros versolaris los pastores euskaldunes del neolítico, costumbre de improvisación que mantendrían aún en la llanada Alavesa hasta finales del siglo XIX. No obstante lo cual, desde un punto de vista histórico, no existen referencias al bertsolarismo anteriores al siglo XIX, por lo que más allá de difusas referencias a las necesarias fuentes de transmisión orales a las que el ser humano estaba abocado en todos los lugares del globo antes de la plasmación escrita del lenguaje, el bertsolarismo tal y como actualmente se entiende es un fenómeno de expresión cultural y artístico decimonónico, propio de la construcción de identidades nacionales que tuvo lugar en dicho siglo.

This essay analyzes the story of "Rip Van Winkle" by Washington Irving and criticizes Daniel Plung's assessment of it in his article, "Rip Van Winkle': Metempsychosis and the Quest for Self-Reliance." In Plung's article, he assesses that in the story of "Rip Van Winkle," the main character, Rip, attains self-reliance and individualism through his escape and experience on the mountain. However, although Plung's points support his assessments, there are also many other details in the story that contradict Plung's analysis. This essay seeks to enlighten readers to a differing interpretation of "Rip Van Winkle" by studying other details in the story.

Aug. 23 — Guidance announced Aug. 23 on the president's controversial executive order requiring federal contractors to disclose certain labor law violations contains a new requirement: Subcontractors must send the information directly to the Labor Department.
The subcontractor reporting change to the Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces executive order "is a huge development," James Murphy, who represents defense contractors at management firm Ogletree Deakins Nash Smoak & Stewart PC in Washington, told Bloomberg BNA. "However, it probably moves the needle from utter chaos to mere mayhem," said Murphy, who was previously the labor and employment counsel for defense contractors Northrop Grumman Corp. and General Dynamics Corp.
Government contractors and their trade associations, as well as some GOP lawmakers, have dubbed the Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces policy the "blacklisting" order. They argue that it places unnecessarily burdensome requirements on companies and could remove law-abiding businesses from the federal procurement process.
However, Labor Secretary Thomas Perez and other White House officials said on a call with reporters that the rules are not intended to expel contractors. Rather, the rules are meant to promote compliance and ensure that taxpayer dollars don't reward bad actors, the officials said.
The administration also extended the compliance timeline, implementing the executive order in gradual phases. Once the regulation is fully implemented, businesses seeking contracts valued at $500,000 or more will need to submit violations of 14 federal labor and employment laws—and their state law equivalents—for the previous three years.
The final version calls for government subcontractors to report their violation histories directly to the Labor Department, rather than to their prime contractors, the White House announced. This is a significant modification from the proposed rule.
The full rules and guidance will be issued Aug. 24.
The Labor Department and Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council, which published the final guidance and regulation, directed agency contracting officers to only consider the most egregious violators when using the disclosures to affect contract awards.
"The original version made prime contractors an enforcement arm of the government over their subcontractors," said Tiefer, a federal procurement law professor at the University of Baltimore. He questioned whether the Labor Department will be able to keep up with the filings.
"The Labor Department is going to be overwhelmed with confusing submissions by potential subcontractors and not be able to separate the important from the unimportant," he said.
The administration also extended the compliance timeline, implementing the executive order in phases. The first step begins Oct. 25, 2016, when prime contractors will be required to disclose violations from the previous one year, and only when seeking contracts valued at $50 million or more.
Six months later, on April 25, businesses will be subjected to the rules when bidding on contracts of $500,000 or more.
Subcontractors won't begin reporting until Oct. 25, 2017.
Further, after initially only reporting violations from the past year, contractors will need to disclose violations from the previous three years by Oct. 25, 2018, according to a fact sheet issued to reporters.
At a later time, the DOL said it will initiate a new proposed guidance specifying which state equivalent laws will also be subject to reporting requirements.
The rules also imposes paycheck transparency requirements on contractors, effective Jan. 1, 2017. They will have to provide wage statements to workers that cover hours worked, overtime hours and other information.
The rules also forbid businesses with federal contracts of at least $1 million from forcing employees to arbitrate sexual assault or civil rights claims. This provision is effective Oct. 25, 2016.
"The administration recognizes the initial proposal had many problems," Marc Freedman, executive director of labor law policy at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, told Bloomberg BNA, after learning of the revisions.
The White House Aug. 23 also issued an amendment to the original executive order that prompted this rulemaking. This provided for the switch in subcontractor reporting.
Among the provisions that management attorneys and private sector contractors are paying the closest attention to is whether administrative merits determinations need to be disclosed as a labor violation. The final version of the rule still requires reporting of such determinations.
Mandating the reporting of alleged violations that haven't been fully adjudicated, business lobbyists and attorneys say, is a constitutional violation of employers' due process rights.
"Let's say that takes you two to three years to get to the court of appeals" over a National Labor Relations Board ruling, "and during that entire time you are forced to make disclosures about that adverse finding against you," Murphy said. Who knows how many contracts would be affected? he said.
Unions and worker advocacy groups said they're thrilled the rulemaking is finally completed. They credited administration officials for working tirelessly to finish a complex regulation that affects every government agency.
In addition to the SEIU, the Center for American Progress urged the White House to implement this policy. "The administration went through a long and rigorous process, and all signs are that they worked very hard to get this right, to balance all the various complications in ensuring that this executive order does what it intends to do, which is ensure that companies clean up their act and comply with the law," David Madland, a senior adviser to CAP's American Worker Project, told Bloomberg BNA.
Following the 2014 executive order (E.O. 13,673) and 2015 proposed rules and guidance, the final Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces regulations come amid the backdrop of intense lobbying and legal research into potential litigation.
The House and Senate passed National Defense Authorization Act bills for fiscal year 2017 that would exempt defense contractors from the order. That provision of the NDAA is subject to removal as the bill heads to conference committee when Congress reconvenes in September.
"It appears that the administration is full steam ahead on all the problematic provisions of this proposal, and this will only further reinforce congressional efforts to prevent this from being approved, rather than assuage any concerns from those who want to move forward," Rosario Palmieri, vice president for labor, legal and regulatory policy at the National Association of Manufacturers, told Bloomberg BNA.
Perez noted on the call that the White House and DOD have already issued statements opposing this section of the defense bill, and recommending that the president veto it unless the executive order language is stripped.
In addition to due process claims, contractor attorneys say that the National Labor Relations Act preempts the president from adding new penalties to past labor violations. Those arguments and others are expected to form the basis of lawsuits filed before the executive order takes effect.
A public version of the fact sheet, as well as the full final regulations and guidance will be posted on the Federal Register on Aug. 24.

Tim Gunn's Guide to Style
October 2, 2008, 2:06 PM ET
Buy With A Practical Eye
What does Gretta love about working with Tim Gunn? Find out!
Bravotv.com: What is it like working with Tim Gunn?
Gretta Monahan: Oh my gosh, honestly, I pinch myself - it's the best. It's a dream come true. Tim is like your teacher and your husband all wrapped up in one! I want to make him my man, he's so cute! He's the best, he really is. I get to work with someone I truly admire. Not only has Tim been a mentor, but he has been an industry idol of mine for a long time, long before television.
How did you get your start in fashion?
I came to New York and spent some time at F.I.T., and ended up pursuing beauty first. I got into fashion by way of opening my first boutique. I started styling a bit and picking up clients, and then figured I was shopping all over the world, why not open my own boutique - it has always been a dream of mine. So I opened up Gretta Luxe in Boston, and always worked in tandem between New York and Boston. Now I spend a lot of my time in New York. I buy all over the world - I go to the shows in Paris, Milan, and New York to buy for my boutique. My boutique has primarily European and American designers, and it's mostly ready-to-wear. But it's a great mix. I call it casual couture - things you can buy that you can actually wear. I buy with a practical eye so that real women can take advantage of great fashion.
And you were at New York Fashion Week this year?
Yes, I was! I went to the Couture Fashion Week in Paris in July and then Fashion Week in New York. I really thought it was great. One of my favorite collections was Michael Kors. I carry his line in my stores, so there was a lot to buy there, and I really enjoyed it. I think New York still has the best Fashion Week. A lot people didn't know what to expect, but fashion is forging ahead, regardless of the economy. I think that people will always invest in quality.
Did you get to see the Project Runway show?
I was there! Oh my God - honestly, my head was spinning. I was thrilled to be there and I really enjoyed it. You have to have mercy on Tim and the judges, because there was a lot of terrific talent there. The essence of each designer really came through in the collections. I thought they turned out great work. Any favorites? Hmm, the designer who put out the very soft palate of dresses - Kenley. Loved hers. My top two would be Kenley and Korto. I was in love with their collections. Everyone had good stuff, but if I was buying for my boutique, I thought things within Kenley and Korto's collections were very sellable. For me, fashion is not just about what is great design, it also has to be wearable in real life. Being a designer makes me pretty critical.
In this episode you were working with Meredith Elliot who had a "shopping phobia." Any tips for viewers on how to avoid feeling overwhelmed while shopping?
There is a difference between shopping just for fun and shopping with goals or a plan. I think you do need to have a shopping strategy. If you know that you need a specific item for a specific event, then I think you need to narrow that down first. If you know it's a dress, and you know you have a certain budget, don't shop in stores that don't observe those parameters, because that's a waste of your time. When you go into a store, you want to be precise. Go into the right department and try to put on your blinders. I know we all get caught up in the jewelry and cosmetics, but you have to go and really zero in. I always say to Tim, "We're not like you, we're women, we're wired differently!" If you're planning on browsing, be careful not to just spend money. Look all you want, but don't necessarily buy. If there is an item that you remember when you get home, something that you know you can't live without because there's a void in your closet, then that's a reason to invest.
Any other important shopping tips?
If you're looking to add to your wardrobe, you need to think about wearing an item in more than one place, and in more than one way. So, if you have a dress that can be worn casually with boots, but then can also be worn at night to a cocktail affair with a cute pump, or could be accessorized with a little cardigan as a work outfit, then you can invest a little more in that dress, because it will work in three different ways. Tim and I would rather see women buy higher quality items, clothing that lasts and fits them properly and really works in their wardrobe, instead of spending frivolously. An item should be modern, but should also stretch your style options within your wardrobe.
Do you and Tim disagree on style or do you think your tastes are similar?
We always joke because you'd think we would disagree, because he looks so straight edge and I look so colorful and zany. The fact of the matter is, we don't disagree. I mean I love fashion and I love trends, but I am practical about it. I like to dress people according to their personalities, and style with a little humor and fun. I've found that Tim is very much the same way. When he is working with real women, he doesn't ignore their age or who they are. He adapts his ten essentials to each person. He's not afraid of color - there are all these rumors about him being so stiff and so this and so that - NOT true! On the shopping floor, he's a blast.
Were you happy with Meredith's overall transformation?
I was thrilled with Meredith's transformation. Not only did her style improve, but she also felt so good in her own skin. She described feeling more at ease and more confident. I think that the lasting difference between Tim Gunn's Guide to Style and other shows out there is that on Guide to Style, the transformation isn't superficial. The lesson people learn from Tim, and hopefully from me, is that they should have more confidence in every area of their lives. It really showed with Meredith, she expressed it in a much better way than we could, and I always think that helping her find more confidence was the best payment of all.
Some boutique owners try to push clothes on people - how do you make someone feel comfortable about what they're buying?
Isn't it just as easy to sell the right thing as it is to sell the wrong thing? I always tell my employees, don't do me any favors by selling something that's not right for someone. It would be terrible promotion for my company. I would never be happy with anyone doing that. And if a customer is looking for something we don't have, I tell them we don't have it. I've told women we don't have the right thing for them. I'll put them in the right direction or I'll call other stores and get them the right thing. I think that's a good note for our viewers. You see Tim and I scrutinizing, but we really think you should hold out for the very best thing. Why wouldn't you package yourself in a way that makes you feel your best? You should want to present your best self to the world. That's the way we feel good and that's the way we're aesthetically balanced. So that's what we're doing when we're being critical - it's not the person we're criticizing. When I see people in the wrong clothes, I just tell them it's a mismatch. Maybe that item is better or somebody else. Give it to your sister! Don't stick with it! End it!
