Earlier this week, a colleague and I sat with an entrepreneur, who after a year in a sales business, said to me that he is at the lowest point he has ever been…Financially, emotionally and in terms of prospects for the future. No Pipeline business and no income at the end of the month. Feeling beaten and drained, fearing the loss of his assets and roof over his head.
We talked through the options available, that if consistent action is taken, things could change around in a four week period. The outcomes will put him back on the road to survival, achievement and success. The main question that needed answering at this critical point was: What is the one thing, that if you concentrate single-mindedly on it, will give you the greatest result in your business? What is the core activity of your business that is the seed that births everything else? As we worked the desired money/income back to activity, as you can imagine, it came down to 20 telephone calls per day to his circle of influence, acquaintances, present and past clients, asking for their help in referring business and providing an opportunity to serve them.
He agreed to practice the one "Principle for Success" from Brian Tracey's book " Eat that Frog". The principle advocates doing the biggest and the most undesirable task first thing in the morning. Do the worse first. Concentrate and focus on that task only, until its done. It advocates that if you can do that without supervision, there is nothing that you can't achieve. Working without supervision means that you have clear goals, clear priorities and start everyday on the most important task until its done. Success is the discipline of doing this task fastidiously over and over again. The compound effect of those performed activities over time, will produce the results. He agreed to not open his laptop, his e mail, his Facebook, Linked in, mail or anything else that will impair his focus until he has spoken with 20 people on the phone. When the appointments are made, the day can bring any other crisis.
I am delighted to tell you that he has made 40 calls thus far in the past 2 days. Reporting back in a daily coaching call, he indicated that he has 4 appointments lined up with direct business forthcoming. The coaching "supervision" now has to ensure that the calls are still being made, everyday, even while the appointments are falling into place.
So…how about you? Nothing will change until you take some action..Don't make the mistake by thinking that your situation is not as dire as the entrepreneur I wrote about. As we fall into that comfort zone of thinking that things are going really well, we are already regressing and overtaken by the rapid pace of change around us. We all have a "Frog to eat" in the morning, just to stay ahead, never mind progress in leaps and bounds! How?
Step 2 – Write down that One Goal that will have the biggest effect in your life, in the present tense. Come on..do it now!
Step 5 – Organise the list into priorities (what has to be done first, second, third, to last) – this will be your plan.
Step 7 – Do something every day..Do the one thing everyday.

Fifty percent of the U.S. workforce will soon be working remotely, Forbes reported recently.
Since employers strive to achieve specific goals and (most of them) turn profits, there must be some advantage to having all those scattered employees in pajamas tapping away on their laptops. Otherwise the captains of industry would put the kibosh on the practice.
A new survey by TSheets by Quickbooks of 500 remote workers in the United States suggests why the practice is growing, even as it presents some disadvantages.
"We found that while there are a lot of benefits to working remotely, but there are also some significant downsides employers and employees should be aware of," says Patrick Adcock, marketing analyst at TSheets, a time-tracking and employee scheduling software.
Remote workers save nearly three hours a week (165 minutes) by not commuting.
More than half of remote workers say their productivity increases when they work remotely.
The top three struggles for remote workers are working more hours, people thinking they aren't working and motivating themselves.
Fifteen percent have never received a promotion and 9 percent have never received a raise.
While remote workers love working remotely, it wouldn't take much for them to give it up.
More than half said they would give up working remotely for a raise, a promotion or even just a smaller workload.
The conclusions underscore findings from a far larger 2017 report from the polling and management consulting giant Gallup. From 2012 to 2016, the number of employees working remotely rose by four percentage points, from 39 percent to 43 percent, and employees working remotely spent more time doing so.
Gallup developed its "State of the American Workplace" report using data from more than 195,600 U.S. employees via the Gallup Panel and Gallup Daily tracking in 2015 and 2016, and from more than 31 million respondents through Gallup's Q12 Client Database, the report states.
Another soon-to-be-released report from Gallup suggests a related phenomenon—what it calls "the gig economy," or "a labor market characterized by workers who do not have a traditional, long-term employee-employer relationship." The report, "The Gig Economy and Alternative Work Arrangements," is slated for release later this month.
In it, Gallup estimates that 29 percent of all workers in the U.S. have an alternative work arrangement as their primary job. This includes a quarter of all full-time workers (24 percent) and half of all part-time workers (49 percent).
"From Uber drivers to remote contract workers, Americans are finding alternative ways of working by piecing together a 'work life' from a variety of income sources," Gallup states.
TSheets states that avoiding the commute to work is the biggest benefit noted by remote workers (46 percent say this is the main benefit of remote work). "Having control over their schedules, not having to get ready for work, and the ability to sleep longer are also benefits," the report notes.
Nearly 28 percent of respondents say being able to look after their kids is a benefit of working from home. Nearly as many apparently worry about the cat eating the potted plants or the dog chewing slippers if they're forced to work from an office; slightly more than 22 percent say watching their pets is an important benefit.
"When asked how they feel about remote work, the majority of remote workers gave it either four or five stars," TSheets reports.
And as annoying as that co-worker is who shouts on the phone or clips his toenails at his desk, there's a downside to all that blessed peace and quiet. Other big challenges for remote employees include disconnecting from work, loneliness and bad internet connections. Talking to your cat apparently just doesn't fill the void.
For employers, flexible work schedules have benefits in an economy in which top employees are at a premium.
"Gallup consistently has found that flexible scheduling and work-from-home opportunities play a major role in an employee's decision to take or leave a job," the organization wrote in its 2016 report.
TSheets' data show that remote work should be implemented with intention, Adcock says. If employers are just looking to cut costs on office space, they are looking at it the wrong way.
For those thinking of working from a truly remote location, Business Insider offers a slew of suggestions of cities you can park in from around the globe. Chiang Mai, Thailand, features speedy Wi-Fi, sunny weather and good food. Budapest offers cheap rent and lots of restaurants. Ho Chi Min City has a multitude of cafés with good coffee.
"Cafes are always filled with other patrons on their laptops, so waiters are used to customers sitting at a table for hours at a time," a source tells Business Insider.
There's just one small problem: You'll have to leave your cat at home.


Of all the poke bowl establishments in the Klang Valley, The Fish Bowl seems to be one that captures the essence of the Hawaiian-inspired raw seafood salads best. The customizability of both their traditional and soup based poke bowls ensures that they cater to even the pickiest of healthy eaters.
This is the hangout spot to be if you are looking for a healthy and wholesome meal.

Most of their selections on the menu are raw, vegan, gluten, and dairy free. For new patrons, try their Chickpea Crepe with Mushrooms and Spinach drizzled with Pesto or dairy-free Curry Laksa!

Through the years the nation gave increasing emphasis to Labor Day. The first governmental recognition came through municipal ordinances passed during 1885 and 1886. From these, a movement developed to secure state legislation. The first state bill was introduced into the New York legislature, but the first to become law was passed by Oregon on February 21, 1887. During the year four more states — Colorado, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York — created the Labor Day holiday by legislative enactment. By the end of the decade Connecticut, Nebraska, and Pennsylvania had followed suit. By 1894, 23 other states had adopted the holiday in honor of workers, and on June 28 of that year, Congress passed an act making the first Monday in September of each year a legal holiday in the District of Columbia and the territories*.
More than 100 years after the first Labor Day observance, there is still some doubt as to who first proposed the holiday for workers*.
But Peter McGuire's place in Labor Day history has not gone unchallenged. Many believe that Matthew Maguire, a machinist, not Peter McGuire, founded the holiday. Recent research seems to support the contention that Matthew Maguire, later the secretary of Local 344 of the International Association of Machinists in Paterson, N.J., proposed the holiday in 1882 while serving as secretary of the Central Labor Union in New York. What is clear is that the Central Labor Union adopted a Labor Day proposal and appointed a committee to plan a demonstration and picnic*.
After your exciting outdoor activities or you finish resting from your labor, top off the holiday with some coloring fun!

What happens when a government thinks that it has the authority to protect it's nation by any means necessary, many good men may end up losing their lives.
Five military specialists get called into duty under the guise of stopping terrorists from entering the country in the middle of the night across the Mexican border. They are whisked into a military training compound under the oddest of circumstances and told almost nothing about what they are about to do.
After being injected with a strange liquid the men are then gassed unknowingly only to wake up in what they can only assume is Mexico in the middle of the night. Despite the odd circumstances of the mission the men find little to make them think anything of consequence will take place on this dark ops mission.
That is especially true of Mark, a cocky all American type who is often the most gifted physical specimen anywhere he goes and doesn't hesitate to let everyone know it. Mark almost immediately rubs Joe the wrong way. Joe is a take no bull headstrong ball buster who only knows the military way of life, and likes it that way. Joe wants Mark to take this mission more seriously, and to shut his mouth.
It isn't until the men start dying that they begin to take the mission seriously, but it seems like it may be a bit to late for any of them to make it out alive. In the final epic battle everything finally makes sense to the remaining men, there was never any terrorists, it was a human experiment all along. In the end though, the experiments work and now a couple of the animalistic super soldiers escape with a bloody vengeance as the only thing on their mind.

A Minnesota state senator pushed back Friday against the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) after it said Waseca high school hockey players couldn't wear game jerseys that paid tribute to a local police officer shot in the line of duty.
"Let me give you some friendly advice. Reverse course," Sen. John Jasinski, R-Faribault, wrote in a letter to the league's executive director, Erich Martens. "There is a time for following rules and guidelines, but this is a time for compassion."
The jerseys, donated by a Minnesota company, are emblazoned with "Waseca Police" and officer Arik Matson's badge number on the front. His last name is on the back of the players' jerseys. The girls and boys hockey teams had planned to wear the jerseys during their games and then auction them at the end of their season to raise money for Matson's family.
But when they learned this week that the jerseys violate the MSHSL's uniform rules and policies, the players relegated them to pregame warmups.
The move prompted many to take to social media, with critics and defenders of the league's rules facing off.
Waseca school officials are staying out of the fray, and on Friday they said they may have a new patch made to honor Matson that can be sewn onto game jerseys. The patch would be no bigger than 4 square inches, as required by the league, said Waseca Superintendent Tom Lee.
The company that provided the jerseys had good intentions, but it didn't know about the regulations regarding commemorative patches, Lee said.
Rules are rules, said Lee, who was also unaware of the MSHSL regulations pertaining to jerseys. "We have to adhere to them. It's important that we model for our students."
But sometimes, there are exceptions, said Jasinski, whose legislative district includes Waseca and who decided to send a note to the league on Friday after getting calls and e-mails as the jersey kerfuffle played out on social media.
The league's director called him almost immediately, he said.
"I get the rule issue," Jasinski said in a telephone interview. "I always believe there's an exemption to rules if there's a good cause. … To my belief, this doesn't diminish the integrity of the jersey. We need to be human. Some things are taken way too seriously."
For the small southern Minnesota community, the jerseys are a show of support for an officer who was shot in the head while responding to a call about a prowler earlier this month.
"This is a community that's very strong and very compassionate," Jasinski said.
Martens said he understands the outpouring of community support.
"We know that our officers, whether it be law enforcement or military, are important both on a societal level and personal level," he said Friday, adding that league officials are working with Waseca school leaders to find an appropriate way to honor Matson.
That works for those in Waseca, Lee said.
At first, the league's rejection of the jersey struck an emotional chord for most people, he said. But the anger has faded with talk of possibly designing a new, regulation-sized patch.
"We're trying to find that sweet spot in the middle," Lee said.

Laemophloeidae, "lined flat bark beetles," is a family in the superfamily Cucujoidea characterized by predominantly dorso-ventrally compressed bodies, head and pronotal discs bordered by ridges or grooves, and inverted male genitalia. Size range of adults is  in length. Currently, it contains 40 genera and about 450 species, and is represented on all continents except Antarctica; species richness is greatest in the tropics.

Classicification
Historically, Laemophloeidae was treated as a subfamily of Cucujidae, but starting in the middle of the 20th century, most of what had been treated as subfamilies of the Cucujidae were considered to be families.

Habitat and behaviour
Most laemophloeids, adults and larvae, are found under bark of dead trees, where they apparently are primarily fungivores, although some genera with adults having subcylindrical bodies (e.g., Leptophloeus, Dysmerus) occur in the galleries of bark beetles (Curculionidae: Scolytinae), upon which they may feed. A few genera, but most particularly Cryptolestes, contain some species that are pests of stored grain products. The most important of these are Cryptolestes ferrugineus (Stephens), Cryptolestes pusillus (Schönherr), and Cryptolestes turcicus (Grouvelle).

Characteristics
Several genera exhibit unusual modifications to male antennae (especially Cryptolestes, Dysmerus, and Microbrontes), with the scape expanded into hook-like or blade-like structures. Several other genera (Rhinomalus, Rhinophloeus, and Metaxyphloeus) related to Laemophloeus are atypical in that the adults are rostrate to varying degrees. Photographs of most world genera are available at, and most North American species are pictured at:

Leaping larvae
According to an article published by PLOS ONE, a discovery has been made regarding the larvae of laemophloeidae. Studies show that when the larvae is in the open, the larvae will straighten themselves out and jump curling up into a ball in the process. It has also been discovered that the larvae can bounce when they are curled up.

***SWEDISH MELODIC HEAVY METAL BAND'S UPLIFTING 'NEXT LEVEL' ALBUM RELEASED OCTOBER 29TH ON STEAMHAMMER / SPV***
Mike Andersson (Cloudscape) – Vocals
Stefan Elmgren (ex-Hammerfall) – Guitars
Stefan Rosqvist – Guitars
Tommy Larsson (ex-Heed) – Bass
Anders Johansson (Hammerfall, ex-Yngwie Malmsteen) – Drums
Swedish five piece Melodic Metal band FULLFORCE, a group of highly experienced top quality musicians who formed in 2009, are set to release their second studio album, 'Next Level', on Steamhammer / SPV on October 29th.
FULLFORCE, a breath of fresh air in the current melodic metal movement, grab their traditional heavy metal and hard rock influences by the throat and bring them bang up to date. Inspired by the likes of Judas Priest, Yngwie Malmsteen, Black Sabbath, Helloween, Iron Maiden, Dream Theater and Queensryche, FULLFORCE create totally modern metal with a vintage feel.
Following on from the band's acclaimed debut album, 'One', released in July 2011 on SPV, 'Next Level' really does do what it says on the tin, and ups the stakes in no uncertain terms. Superb new guitarist Stefan Rosqvist, who replaced CJ Grimmark earlier this year, has helped FULLFORCE to majorly leap up a level with his glorious guitar licks on uplifting tracks such as the bombastic 'A Night To Remember' the acoustic guitar led 'Smile At The World', or the striding, soaring 'Awesomeness'.
Powerplay awarded 'One' 7/10, stating "Considering the band members – Cloudscape vocalist Mike Andersson, and current and ex-Hammerfall members amongst others – Fullforce's sound of fast guitars, synths and a bit of a pop-sheen was really inevitable before the band put anything together. However, these musicians are all pros within their element and it shows. "None Of Your Concern", with its hallowing synths and thundering guitars is unusually catchy and "Walls Of Secrets" toes the line between devilishly heavy and early Helloween worship… "One" is a capably crafted record of melodic metal. If you're a fan of the bands that Fullforce's members comprise, you'll easily get a kick out of it... It's rather good." (August 2011 issue).
Metal Hammer stated that "One is shot through with tasteful, melodious guitar work, strong, earnest vocals and noddable hooks, and there is more of an emotive pull to the material than most muso Swede-pomp." (September 2011 issue).
Now 'Next Level', packed with 13 melodic rock gems of compositions boasting crystal clear emotive vocals, catchy choruses, superlative dual guitar duelling, and hard driving drums, is set to fire Fullforce into the upper echelons of hard rock's heady stratosphere.

Hydraulic power unit for two-axis tracking of solar collectors.
In the solar cells, light energy is converted to electrical energy. With the addition of hydraulic tracking (tilt angle and orientation), the solar radiation always strikes the cells of the solar collector at an angle of 90°. This means an increase in efficiency of 30 to 40% compared to fixed panels.
Hydraulic power unit for single-axis tracking of parabolic trough collectors.
Hydraulically-powered parabolic trough collectors 150 m long track the movement of the sun during the day. They are orientated north-south. Solar rays reflected by mirrors heat a heat transfer fluid in a tube up to 400 °C. The energy absorbed is then transferred in heat exchangers to the steam circuit. The feed water is vaporized and superheated. Afterwards the steam expands in the turbine which drives a generator for electricity generation.


It is my pleasure to welcome you to Wisdom Spring foundation Academy, an institution devoted to the provision and delivery of high quality international standard Christian early years and elementary education in Abuja, Nigeria. This is the first phase of this institution. The next phase of the Institution focuses on providing international standard Christian secondary education. Am delighted to let you know that the second phase has commenced admission for 2018/2019 academic session.
At Wisdom Spring Academy, it is our belief that early years and elementary education determine the success child's educational journey. These years of educational foundation are critical to a child's attitude, interests and achievement. Therefore, it is important that the experience of the child at this crucial period of life be character and value based, rewarding and pleasurable.
Over the last three decades, we have witnessed a marked deterioration in the quality of education available in Nigeria. Thus we hope that WSFA will restore the Parents' confidence in quality of education provided for their word.
This we hope to achieve by providing a friendly and caring learning environment in which everyone is valued and included. Children are happy to come to school, are well motivated learners and treat each other thoughtfully and with respect.
We also aim to teach each child in the way that they can learn best. Each child is unique, and a well rounded education must take into account their wider experiences, personal motivation and innate learning styles. We aim to equip our children, not only with an excellent academic grounding, but also with qualities of Christian character to see them through life beyond school.


so authentication is an important topic.
We are going to expend next week focusing entirely on authentication.
The system needs to allow users to do what they need to to accomplish their tasks.
the users computer and the larger system their interacting with.
we design the computer system to protect the interest of its legitimate user?
after a user is properly authenticated.
Viruses are an obvious issue.
Spyware is increasingly common, and is a growing problem.
by allowing bad actors to take inappropriate actions in other ways.
doing something wrong, it's not necessarily their fault either.
a way that the user expects or understands.
on secure usability design, and we're relying on chapter 13 by Kah Pei Yee.
are both usable and secure, security by designation and user assigned identifiers.
then move forward to the guidelines in those terms.
We should start by understanding some major components of that topic.
The first is mental models.
We discussed mental models earlier in this course.
understand how a system works.
consistent with their mental models and their understanding and expectations.
it helps us design better systems.
to understand all the details of how security mechanisms work.
securely be relying mainly on knowledge and understanding that they already have.
An example by Kah Pei Yee in the chapter that we're using is this.
Suppose a user downloads a file deletion program.
we know it reliably erases files leaving no trace on the hard drive.
Is this program secure or not?
users files, leaving no trace, this is a big security violation.
they are using it for that purpose, it's secure.
It would only be a failure then if it didn't securely delete the files.
not the program is secure is based in the user's expectation.
make no difference here because the user expectation has to be met.
useability they think of it as a conflict.
but that is really a unfair comparison.
Security isn't about making everything difficult.
It should make it difficult to do operations that have undesirable effects.
And usability isn't about making all operation easy.
It's about improving access to operations with desirable effects.
determine whether a particular result is desirable or not.
usability actually work together in the system.
usability diverge often is when security is presented as a secondary task to users.
they never have a task in mind of updating it.
sitting on the couch and installing a patch.
in the way of whatever the user's main intention is.
the less likely it is that users will try to circumvent them.
Security and usability also have something frustrating in common.
incorporate after they've already designed the software systems.
They're not features that are integrated into the product from the beginning.
They're tacked on to an already completed software project.
fix usability problems after they've basically finished the final product.
Neither security nor usability should be afterthoughts.
Both should be included in software from the very beginning of the design process.
Iterative design, which we've discussed before, is one way to do this.
We analyze users needs, then design, then test.
After testing we re-evaluate, redesign and re-test.
it's usually focused on software correctness and functionality.
Well that's obviously critically important.
the testing process to ensure that both are included from the very beginning.
This helps address the heart of the potential conflict.
we can ensure that the security features are useable from the very beginning.
security, so let's define those terms.
Permissions are settings within a system that say who can access a file.
Authority is who has the power to access something regardless of the permissions.
her programs can read the files in her home directory.
Then, Alice installs a server program that serves up the files in that directory.
files even though Bob wasn't given permission on Alice's computer.
From the systems perspective, the permission settings are being enforced.
Bob still has the authority to access the files.
permission is one that we'll discuss many times this week.
So it's good to have those terms defined.
So to wrap up, usability and security don't need to be at odds with one another.
straightforward as possible, we can build systems that are both useable and secure.


I write haiku and contemporary poetry which has been published in Australia and around the world.
I began writing haiku and other Japanese forms of poetry around 2002. These restrained forms of poetry target the very essence of a person's engagement with art, encouraging the poet to create a space where the reader can experience and connect with the writing in a personal way.
For the past 15 years, my haiku have appeared regularly in the major international haiku journals and in anthologies such as Haiku 21: an anthology of contemporary English-language haiku, A Vast Sky: An Anthology of Contemporary World Haiku, Nest Feathers (selected haiku from The Heron's Nest), The Wonder Code, and Haiku in English: The First Hundred Years. My haiku have been awarded Second Prize in the 'Kusamakura' International Haiku Competition (Japan), received a Touchstone Award from The Haiku Foundation (USA) and been awarded first prize in the New Zealand Poetry Society's International Haiku Competition.
Since 2010, I have also been writing longer forms of poetry including free verse, prose poetry and even the occasional sonnet. These works have appeared in journals and anthologies such as Verity La, the Canberra Times, StylusLit, the Poetry d'Amour Anthology, Vine Leaves Literary Journal, Shot Glass (USA), Nourish (USA), Communion Arts Journal, The Best Australian Poems and the Australian Poetry Members' Anthology. My poetry was awarded joint First Place in the WB Yeats Poetry Prize for Australia.
I collaborated with Vanessa Proctor from Sydney in writing Blowing Up Balloons: baby poems for parents (Red Moon Press). This collection of haiku, which celebrates the joys of parenthood, was released in 2017.
My home is in Australia's national capital city: Canberra. The Capital Region has an active arts scene spanning poetry, sculpture, painting, theatre, music and more. I trust you enjoy reading about poetry events in the region, and I hope my poems connect with you.

Gene Royalty
Gene Royalty was born in 1930 in Harrodsburg, Kentucky. His parents, Hollie G. and Emma Sallee Royalty, were well known and devoted citizens in the community.
Gene initially planned to follow in the footsteps of his father – a small business owner with investments in tobacco warehouse and a grocery store.
At age 21, he started his first enterprise, G & H Furniture Showrooms. "G" was for Gene and his older brother James Huntley, was the "H".
As the business grew and thrived, Gene became more and more involved in other community activities, serving on the boards of two local banks and chairing a committee to restore nearby Shaker Village.
Soon, this smart, rising young business leader turned his attention to the larger picture of jobs and economic growth in his home county. A conversation with then lieutenant governor Wilson Wyatt was a turning point. Jobs required companies and companies required industrial parks, he soon discovered. "I just got involved and have been doing so ever since," he says.
Gene organized Mercer County's first industrial authority and was its chairman from 1961 to 1988, a period that saw the arrival of such companies as Hitachi, which remains an expanding and crucial part of the county's economic success.
His devoted but voluntary efforts on the part of his community did not go unnoticed outside of Mercer County. Governor Wallace Wilkinson tapped him as the administrations Secretary for the Cabinet for Economic Development.
Though reluctant at first, telling Gov. Wilkinson "he wasn't looking for a state job that what he really wanted was to do something for the community." But Gene discovered that Wilkinson was "a determined type individual."
In 1988, Gene Royalty found himself traveling the world, and selling companies on the many attributes of the Bluegrass State, the way he had sold them on Mercer County.
When Wilkinson's term ended, another state agency needed a marketing expert, and Gene stayed on in Frankfort to serve as the Executive Director of Markets in the Department of Agriculture.
With tobacco waning, it was critical time for Kentucky, and through three administrations and three agriculture commissioners, Gene played a key role in helping Kentucky farms find new and innovative cash crops.
Gene retired from state government in 2002, but not from economic development. At nearly seventy years of age, Gene thought it time to return to Harrodsburg – not to retire mine you but to explore more work and more opportunities in his hometown.
To no one's surprise, a county to the south wanted to snag one of the state's most seasoned and effective advocates of business and industrial growth.
"We were having our annual Chamber of Commerce banquet and I invited some people from Frankfort to attend the meeting," recalls Russell County Attorney, Don Byrom. "I gave Gene a call and said come a little early, I want to show you something."
"I knew what they wanted," Gene later said. "They wanted me to run their Economic Development office."
Gene's accomplishments as executive director of the Russell County Industrial Development Authority alone would merit his induction into the hall of fame, wrote Greg Jones, in the nomination form. Under his leadership, the county gained more than 550 new jobs over $87 million in new business investment – plus more than 200 new jobs in major expansions of established businesses. For a small community like Jamestown, these numbers are significant.
Gene Royalty has worked tirelessly for the advancement and economic success of his community and for the state of Kentucky his entire life. And it was always a labor of love.

Jim Catlett
Jim Catlett dedicated his life to doing work that is among the most important in a community – creating jobs. Good jobs, with well-known American businesses that chose South Kentucky communities as their operating location. Committing his boundless energy, attention to detail and never-give-up attitude to South Kentucky Industrial Development Authority, Jim was a "closer" who didn't demand credit, only jobs for his fellow Kentuckians.
Catlett learned that "work was very important" from his father, Leon Catlett. Born in 1936 and a native of Mercer County, Jim's work ethic was a leading factor in his success in economic development. According to those who knew him, Jim, a yeoman in the U.S. Navy from 1958-62, came home to work for the Kentucky Department of Commerce/Economic Development in 1960-61. He met and worked for Jim Coleman and Katie Peden, and the rest is history-a history of service and dedication.
In the 1960s, '70s, '80s and '90s, some well-known names in American business chose South Kentucky communities as their operating location. Names like General Motors and Corvette, Fisher-Price, Quebecor World Printing and Logan Aluminum. The name that played a key role in the recruitment of these stellar companies: Jim Catlett.
Catlett became the assistant director of the South Kentucky Industrial Development Authority (SKIDA) in 1962. He retired from SKIDA 32 years later – Jim spent a lifetime recruiting jobs for his constituents, the 22 counties of South Kentucky.
Everyone knows that Jim Catlett was a real "closer" and a champion of Kentucky.
Martha Layne Collins
Governor Collins' visionary leadership continues to bring exceptional opportunities to Kentuckians – and to make Kentucky a force in both the American and global economy. She dedicated her persistence, sincerity and common sense to winning Toyota (any many others) in order to bring well-paying jobs and bright futures for Kentucky families. She remains at the forefront, reaching to secure relationships to the corners of the globe – all for Kentucky.
Governor Collins was at the helm of one of the most successful economic development events in history – and that's just one part of her story. It was a day of first in 1983 when Martha Layne Collins placed one hand on her grandmother's Bible and took the oath as Kentucky's 57th Governor. The first woman elected to Kentucky's highest office and the only woman governor in the US at the time, Governor Collins was to become the first woman elected to chair a major political party's national convention.
Collins began her career as a teacher. Elected clerk of the Kentucky Court of Appeals in 1975, lieutenant governor in 1979, Collins was elected governor four years later. Governor Collins's focus would not be about the ground she was breaking but about opportunities for Kentuckians. And making Kentucky a driving force – literally – in the American and global economy.
Before Toyota Motor Manufacturing announced plans to open a manufacturing facility in the US, Governor Collins and her team were building a relationship with this major Japanese automaker. It would take persistence, humility, an armload of facts and the right deal to win. Collins knew Kentucky had the teamwork Toyota required. Add in a hostess willing to wait and greet them at the airport, who charmed her guests with fireworks lighting up the night sky behind the Capitol and the beginning of a beautiful relationship was assured.
Twenty years later, Toyota would establish itself as a corporate leader in environmental issues and outstanding community partner. Toyota's selection of Georgetown as the site of its first North American manufacturing facility brought thousands of well-paying jobs and led to dozens of automotive suppliers bringing tens of thousands of new jobs. Later, Toyota chose Kentucky for expansion and as the home of its North American headquarters.
Toyota wasn't the only economic development achievement of Collins' term. Many new companies and groundbreakings came to Kentucky during her administration and she worked for new educational opportunities.
Any way you look at it, Governor Martha Layne Collins contributions are groundbreaking.
Darrell Gilliam
An economic development professional known across this commonwealth as "the guru," Darrell Gilliam's diverse career spans more than three decades. Through his passion for his profession, his commitment to leadership and his generosity as a mentor, he has had an impact that will be felt for generations. Gilliam translates his love for Kentucky and his belief in the value of economic development work not only into new jobs but into innovations and leadership development.
Growing up in Eastern Kentucky, this economic development professional understood first hand the importance of a job. He helped created thousands of them across the state. For advice on a project, economic development professionals across the state turned to the man they call "the guru."
With a diverse career spanning more than three decades, there were few economic development challenges Gilliam hadn't faced. He began his economic development career in 1969 as a research economist at Spindletop Research Inc., in Lexington, where he helped prepare reports on banking regulations and in the coal, horse racing and restaurant industries. Gilliam moved from the private sector into public service in the '70s – starting as city manager for Winchester – an exciting time in economic development. As manager of the Kentucky Appalachian Program, he administered the Appalachian Regional Commission investment program and developed numerous policies with far-reaching impact throughout Eastern Kentucky.
As director of community development for the Bluegrass Area Development District in the late '70s, Gilliam helped communities create and expand industrial site development projects. Winchester, Stanford, Lancaster, Stanton and Richmond – all benefited from Gilliam's drive in helping establish industrial development authorities. He devoted nearly two decade to leading economic development efforts in Winchester-Clark County (1987-1992), then in Prestonsburg-Floyd Count (1992-1994) and finally in Frankfort-Franklin County (1994-2004).
Gilliam was a major force in bringing in some 46 industries that created more than 3,000 jobs and millions of dollars in investment. Passionate about his profession, committed to leadership and generous as a mentor, Gilliam has had an impact that will be felt for generations.
From the small community of Blair, Gilliam knew that every job could change lives. His inclination toward public service was fostered at Berea College and its values of helping others. The bachelor's and master's degrees in economics he obtained from Berea College obviously formed a strong foundation for a future devoted to community development.
He played a key role in developing Kentucky's first Strategic Economic Development Plan. Gilliam helped found the Kentucky Institute for Economic Development, where community representatives learn basic principles of economic development, from organization to marketing. A member of the Kentucky Industrial Development Council, he served as president in 1987.
Gilliam served as the executive director of the Capital Community Economic-Industrial Development Authority in Frankfort until his retirement in 2004.
Governor Paul Patton
Governor Patton was born in Fallsburg, Kentucky. He graduated from the University of Kentucky in 1959 with a degree in mechanical engineering. After 20 years in the coal business, he began his public service career as deputy secretary of transportation in 1979. He was elected judge-executive of Pike County in 1981, establishing the first countywide garbage collection program, initiating oil recycling, and establishing a work program for welfare mothers in day-care centers. He was reelected and served until 1991, when he was elected lieutenant governor and named secretary of economic development, becoming the first lieutenant governor to serve as an appointed cabinet secretary. He was elected governor in 1995 and reelected in 1999, the first governor in Kentucky elected to a second consecutive term in 200 years. Jobs, economic development, and education are his major concerns. Thousands of jobs were created in Kentucky through incentive programs authored by Patton to attract new companies and help existing businesses to expand. He is past chair of the Southern Governors' Association, the Democratic Governors' Association, and the National Governors Association. Patton was picked by the secretary of the U.S. Department of Education to head a new education commission to look at the high school senior year. He has chaired the National Education Goals Panel, the Education Commission of the States, the Southern Regional Education Board, and the Southern Growth Policies Board.
Katherine Peden
A native of Hopkinsville, her career started in 1944 when she went to work at radio station WHOP where 20 years later she was general manager of the station and owner of WNVL in Nicholasville. She also worked as national sales manager for five CBS stations.
It was in that capacity that she began opening doors previously closed to women. In conjunction with her work, she joined the Business and Professional Women's Club, (B&PW) beginning with the Hopkinsville B&PW and leading to positions on the state, national and international level. In 1961 she was elected as national B&PW president.
Three presidents appointed her to prestigious posts. President John F. Kennedy appointed her to the President's Commission on the Status of Women, chaired by Eleanor Roosevelt in 1961. In 1964 she served on the Kentucky Commission on the Status of Women that would later evolve into the Kentucky Commission on Women. In 1967 President Lyndon Johnson appointed her as the only woman to the 12-member National Advisory Committee on Civil Disorders, known as the Kerner Commission. In 1978 President Jimmy Carter appointed her to the Executive Committee of the White House Conference on Balanced Growth and Economic Development.
She became the first female state commerce commissioner, appointed by then Gov. Edward T. Breathitt. By the end of her four-year tenure as commerce commissioner, 150,000 new jobs had been created, unemployment in Kentucky was cut in half and personal income had increased by 30 percent. It was during that time that she was instrumental in bringing the Phelps Dodge Co. to Hopkinsville and in the development of the first Pembroke Road industrial park where a street is named in her honor. Business Week magazine referred to her success as "the Pedenblitz."
In 1968 she opened her business, Peden and Associates and spent the next three decades successfully locating businesses and industries in Kentucky.
In 1969 she was appointed to the board of directors of Westvaco Corp., now MeadeWestvaco Corp, becoming one of the first women in the nation named to a Fortune 500 company board of directors. In 1968, Peden made a bid for the U.S. Senate and was the first woman to be nominated for the U.S. Senate in Kentucky. She addressed the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, but in the fall narrowly lost her Senate bid to Marlow Cook by 30,000 votes in an election with more than one million votes cast.
In 1996, while still working in a male dominated field, she was the first woman designated "Master Professional" by the Industrial Development Research Council, the world's preeminent association of corporate and real estate executives and development professionals. Through her work and also pleasure, she had visited seven continents and more than 200 countries. She is also a former president of the Kentucky Derby Festival. In 2003, the Kentucky Commission on Women named her as a Kentucky Woman Remembered, and her portrait hangs in the east wing of the Kentucky capitol with other distinguished Kentucky women.
When she died in 2006, the economic development industry lost a true pioneer and Kentucky lost one of the its greatest promoters. Katherine Graham Peden was a true "first lady" of economic development who always put her beloved Kentucky first.

US: We'll hunt down new al-Qaida boss
Analyst: Bin Laden not easily replaceable
May 6, 201104:18
June 16, 2011, 6:45 AM UTC / Source: NBC, msnbc.com and news services
The United States is just as determined to hunt down and kill al-Qaida's new chief as it did his predecessor, Osama bin Laden, Obama administration officials said on Thursday.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Ayman al-Zawahri, al-Qaida's longtime second-in-command and now its top leader, does not have the "peculiar charisma" and operational experience of bin Laden, who was killed by U.S. forces last month.
But Gates and other U.S. officials said al-Qaida remains a threat despite its loss of bin Laden, who was considered the driving force behind the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States.
"We should be mindful that ... al-Qaida seeks to perpetuate itself, seeks to find replacements to those that have been killed and remains committed to the agenda that bin Laden put before them," Gates told reporters.
"So I think he's (al-Zawahri's) got some challenges but I think it's a reminder that they are still out there and we still need to keep after them," he said.
Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, made clear that al-Zawahri — an Egyptian-born ideologue — remains high on the U.S. list of hunted militants.
"He and his organization still threaten us. And as we did seek to capture and kill — and succeed in killing — bin Laden, we certainly will do the same thing with Zawahri," Mullen told reporters.
Al-Zawahri has taken over the leadership after the killing of bin Laden, the group announced online on Thursday.
"The general leadership of al-Qaida group, after the completion of consultation, announces that Sheikh Dr. Ayman Zawahri, may God give him success, has assumed responsibility for command of the group," the Islamist website Ansar al-Mujahedeen (Followers of the Holy Warriors) said in a statement.
'No surprise'The White House said al-Zawahri's rise had been expected since he had long served as bin Laden's deputy, but the State Department said it "barely matters" who the new leader was, contending the violent Islamist group's influence was on the wane.
"It's neither surprising nor does it change some fundamental facts," White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters. "Al-Qaida's ideology is bankrupt. The fact is the peaceful movements for change are the future of the region and al-Qaida is the past."
U.S. officials, in a rhetorical campaign that seemed designed to undercut the new al-Qaida leader, also raised doubts about whether al-Zawahri had the personality to emulate the unifying role played by bin Laden. Bin Laden was the network's founding figurehead and became a global symbol of Islamist militancy despised in the West but admired by some in Muslim countries.
"He hasn't demonstrated strong leadership or organizational skills during his time in AQ," a senior administration official said. "His ascension to the top leadership spot will likely generate criticism if not alienation and dissension (within al-Qaida)."
Gates said he understood there was also some suspicion among militants because al-Zawahri is Egyptian.
The brains behind much of al-Qaida's strategy, al-Zawahri and its allies.
His whereabouts are unknown, although he has long been thought to be hiding along the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. The U.S. is offering a $25 million reward for any information leading to his capture or conviction.
Al-Zawahri, who turns 60 on Sunday, has long brought ideological fire, tactics and organizational skills to al-Qaida. The surgeon by training was first behind the use of the suicide bombings and independent terror cells that have become the network's trademarks.
His fanaticism and the depth of his hatred for the United States and Israel are likely to define al-Qaida's actions under his tutelage. In a 2001 treatise that offered a glimpse of his violent thoughts, al-Zawahri set down al-Qaida's strategy: to inflict "as many casualties as possible" on the Americans.
"Pursuing the Americans and Jews is not an impossible task," he wrote. "Killing them is not impossible, whether by a bullet, a knife stab, a bomb or a strike with an iron bar."
He has appeared in dozens of videos and audio tapes in recent years, increasingly becoming the face of al-Qaida as bin Laden kept a lower profile.
'He's a politician'
He and bin Laden first crossed paths in the late 1980s in the caves of Afghanistan, where al-Zawahri reportedly provided medical treatment to bin Laden and other Islamic fighters battling Soviet forces. Their alliance would develop years later into the terror network blamed for America's worst terror attack in its history.
Noman Benotman, a former associate of both bin Laden and al-Zawahri's, told msnbc.com that the new leader would likely seek to capitalize on unrest the Middle East.
"I think he will try to politicize al-Qaida," the former commander in the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) said. "He's a politician but a violent one."
Benotman, who now eschews violence and is a senior analyst at British counter-extremist think tank Quilliam, predicted that al-Zawahri would try to reorganize al-Qaida, establish new cells and adjust tactics.
However, the organization's goals are likely to remain the same.
"They believe they have a mission to mobilize (all Muslims) when the nation fails to do that," Benotman said.
U.S. intelligence officials have said that some al-Qaida members find al-Zawahri to be a controlling micromanager who lacks bin Laden's appeal.
"Bin Laden was regarded by his militant followers as a very charismatic leader," Professor Paul Wilkinson, of the Centre for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence at St Andrews University in Scotland, told msnbc.com. However, al-Zawahri was seen as "more of a strategist" who helped al-Qaida develop expertise in urban terrorism.
Journalist and author Peter Bergen told NBC News after bin Laden's death in May that al-Zawahri would likely have trouble succeeding the popular leader.
"When you join al-Qaida you don't swear an oath of allegiance to al-Qaida," he said. "You swear a personal oath of allegiance to Osama bin Laden. That' s why replacing him is going to be very difficult.
"He's not well-liked or well-regarded, even by people in his own Egyptian sort of jihad group,"
he said. "He's regarded as a divisive figure."
According to Bergen, many people who knew bin Laden said they loved him even if they disagreed with his methods.
"No one describes feelings of love for Ayman al-Zawahri," Bergen added.


The most delicious of breakfast treats, a Dutch Baby is a sweet and simple creation that exists somewhere between a pancake and a crepe. We've added an extra element to this breakfast staple: blueberries! It's a perfectly sweet addition to this already luxurious recipe. Spread the love and pass the maple syrup!
In a small heatproof bowl, microwave 2 tablespoons (28 grams) of Mirage margarine until melted; set aside to cool.
Using a hand or conventional blender combine the flour, milk, eggs, salt, sugar, vanilla, melted Mirage margarine and lemon zest. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Allow batter to rest for 20 minutes.
Pre-heat oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a 10 inch (25 centimetre) ovenproof skillet or pan in the oven to heat for 15 minutes.
Carefully (it will be extremely hot) remove the pan from the oven and place over medium-high heat. Add remaining 3 tablespoons of Mirage margarine to the pan and melt until foamy. Add blueberries and let cook for 30 seconds.
Pour the batter into the pan and immediately return to the oven. Reduce heat to 425°F (220°C) and cook until puffed and golden, 20 minutes.
Cut into wedges and serve immediately with icing sugar and lemon juice sprinkled overtop, as well as maple syrup on the side.
Cook the Blueberry Dutch Baby on your outdoor grill! Pre-heat the grill with the lid closed and the skillet inside until it reaches 450°F (230°C). Melt the Mirage margarine in the pan and cook the blueberries as instructed. Pour in the batter and cook with the lid closed for about 20 minutes, checking the Dutch Baby after 10 minutes and then every few minutes until puffed and golden.
Batter can be prepared the night before and stored in the fridge until ready to bake.
Try raspberries, sliced strawberries or peaches, instead of blueberries.

Climate Effects on Human Evolution
Home › Environment › Climate Effects on Human Evolution
This paper explores the hypothesis that main human adaptations grew from the response to environmental variability. This idea was advanced during research carried out by the Smithsonian's Persons Origins Program. The natural collection was not always a matter of "survival of the fittest", but also the survival of those which are most adaptable to altering surroundings.
Paleoanthropologists have industrialized a variety of notions about how environmental conditions can have stirred long-term hominid evolutionary change. Human beings evolution has tangled the emergence of a varied suite of sorts and an accretion of adaptations, that includes bipedal walking, depend on tools, the capacity to make, brain enlargement, the emergence of complex mental, social behavior and changes in growth (Dustin, 2011).
An essential character of Earth history in times of human development is environmental changes that include cooling, wider climate and drying fluctuations over the period. The question that arose then: how might environmental change shaped the fruition of new versions and extinction of early hominid or the origin species and the appearance of our kinds, Homo sapiens. The human evolutionary hierarchy since the deviation of human lineages and chimpanzee dynasties from the common lines approximated to have lived amongst 6 and 8 million that passed.
According to Dustin (2011), all organisms undergo some quantity of environmental alteration. Some changes befall over a short period or may be recurring, such as seasonal or daily variations in the quantity of temperature, precipitation and light. On longer scales of time, hominians experienced unpredictable and large-scale shifts in precipitation and temperature that in turn produced vast alterations in vegetation ranging from forests to grasslands, and from extremely warm to cold climates. Hominine surroundings were also changed by tectonics, like the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau that changed precipitation patterns in the northern China and the geography of a larger area. The tectonic function can alter the location and scope of rivers and lakes. Forest fires and volcanic eruptions also changed the availability of water, food, shelter and other assets. Unlike daily or seasonal shifts, the impacts of many of these alterations lasted for various years, and they were erratic to hominians and other creatures as to the moments the next main shift could occur.
Many creatures have habitat partialities, such as precise kinds of vegetation (forests versus grassland) or favored precipitation and temperature ranges. There was an alteration in an animal's ideal habitat: fauna can trail their favored locale, become inexistence or familiarize to the new territory. The capability to regulate to a difference of variety of environments and habitats is a feature of humans. There are various ideas concerning the protagonist of the atmosphere in human development. Some views undertake that, certain adaptations like tool-making or upright walking that were linked with certain habitats. These kinds of hypotheses are known as habitat-specific. The common habitat-specific theory is the savanna theory that states that, many essential human modifications ascended on the African savanna and were inclined by the environmental gravity of an increasing dry savanna. With respect to this notion, upright walking showed to be an essential means of moving across an exposed landscape. Environmental variations may have been the main factor that not only in shape adaptations, but also in causative to the extermination of some ancestries. Environmental erratum linked with patterns of extermination has been planned for the northern Kenya region. Stone artifacts, animal faunal and sediments at the Olorgesailie site extent most of the 1,3 million years ago (Dustin, 2011).
In overall, the evidence indicates that hominids were capable of adapting to altering environments. The word Homo, that our species fits, also had the ability to regulate to a diversity of environmental situations in the entire world. The Homo sapiens are capable of coping with a range of climatic situation: cold or hot moist environments, arid and with different sorts of changing vegetation. Humans today signify the one kind has endured of what has been a varied evolutionary tree that is composed of species, which had a diversity of adaptations and means of life.

Every summer, about 3.2 million people visit Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Come winter, that drops to 200,000. With tourism revenue being the lifeblood of the local economy, the Jackson Hole Travel & Tourism Board needed to elevate Jackson Hole as a top destination for winter travel and to motivate travel. Research showed that more than 50% of vacationers say they would be more willing to visit a destination if they could experience it beforehand.
Its agency created a brand experience that was designed to pull people in and give them a taste of what the last real mountain town has to offer. It created "VR-noculars" — classic viewfinders retrofitted with 360-video playback — and placed them at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport during one of the busiest travel periods the market would see: Super Bowl 52.
It intentionally positioned the experience at the intersection of one of the busiest gates and the main corridor that leads to baggage claim so that a highly affluent audience of Super Bowl attendees — including not only fans, but big brands, executives and media — could not miss it.
Total impressions for the VR-noculars experience hit 2 million.
4,000 unique people engaged with the VR-noculars and watched a total of 14,000 videos.
Essentially everyone who stepped up to the experience watched all four videos housed within the VR-noculars.

Sounds really good your recipe. What other ingredient instead cinnamon would you use if you were allergic to cinnamon?
Probably nutmeg, or a mix of clove and nutmeg. For something a little safer cocoa powder would also be delicious.
Hmmm, a good Borges story would also do the trick!!
Wow never heard of a Tango Latte before but now I want it desperately! Sounds delicious.
My own little concoction, it was delicious!
OMG I need to try this latte!
I love this coffee/book pairing. The Tango latte sounds delicious!


From headlines, litigation and international trade negotiations, this much is clear: trade secret theft is a growing problem. The competitive information that enterprises have invested in and labored to gain is valuable, and vulnerable.
The U.S. government and the European Union, among others, are formulating strategies and laws to address trade secret theft, but companies cannot afford to wait.
So, just how does a company protect its critical competitive information? It starts with a detailed inventory, according to a new report by CREATe.org and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).
The report – "Economic Analysis of Trade Secret Misappropriation: A framework for companies to safeguard trade secret assets and mitigate potential threats" – offers a high-level view of trade secret theft, looking at its magnitude, its key perpetrators and how the threat landscape is evolving. Given that backdrop, it also provides a practical new toolkit to help companies assess and safeguard trade secrets.
Identifying trade secrets: What constitutes the company's valuable trade secrets? Is it product information and mergers and acquisitions prospects, customer lists and data, a unique manufacturing process? Creating a detailed inventory is a critical first step.
Assessing the threat: What is the risk of trade secret theft in the unique industry and in the areas where the company operates, including domestic and overseas offices and supply chain partners? How and by whom have others in this market been attacked? How do the company's security policy and procedures measure up?
Ranking value and exposure: Which trade secrets, if compromised would have the biggest impact on the operations and performance of the business?
Economic impact analysis: What is the economic loss if trade secrets are compromised? This analysis takes into account direct losses as well as indirect impact, such as a dent in customer loyalty or company reputation, and provides a basis for allocation of resources in security.
Enhancing security: What systems are in place to protect trade secrets? Wielding the insights and priorities from its evaluation, the company is in a position to improve security around its trade secrets portfolio throughout its management system and business relationships.
This report offers companies a way to move forward with confidence that they are addressing threats to their trade secrets in a practical and systematic fashion.
