I've been thinking a lot about the power of story. I once read a column where the author basically said he who controls the narrative wins. That is, once a "story" is in the publics' mind, no amount of facts can erase it.
That particular columnist was talking about politics and pr spin, but when you think about it, the theory applies to everything. (Heck, you don't have to look any further than the average Facebook feed to find examples.) I was reminded again just how powerful story can be this weekend. Last weekend, several St. Louis Rams players walked on the field with their hands up in protest of the Ferguson decision. They were publically criticized for the gesture because "a mountain of evidence" proved Michael Brown in fact, did not have his hands up.
Now, I am I trying to start a Ferguson debate. That's not the point of this blog. (So please don't flame my comment section.) I'm simply using this example because it shows how powerful a story can be. At this point in time, whether Michael Brown had his hands up or not is irrelevant. In fact, a year from now, the particulars of the Ferguson case will have faded from memory. But, what won't have faded is the bigger story: Minorities suffer persecution at the hands of the police.
That's because story transcends facts. Story always will because story in some way or form touches us emotionally. It always has, from the very first time a man told a story about someone dying after they ate the wrong berries. To paraphrase Lisa Cron, author of WIRED FOR STORY, stories are how we learn.
All this makes me realize just how important it is for those of us who work with words to be as authentic as possible. Okay, sure – on the surface, a romance novel doesn't seem all that important – certainly not as important as something like Michael Brown's death – but we deal with issues as much as the next person. I've written about sexual assault, post traumatic stress syndrome, and spousal abuse. I've read romances that dealt with mental illness and drug abuse. I have no doubt some wonderful romance writer out there is already crafting a love story that touches upon the question of social justice. The care with which we present these issues is as important as the happy endings.
Because fiction, non-fiction, genre or literature – our words can have lasting influence on our readers.
Till next week – take care!
PS: On a much, MUCH lighter note – don't forget to stop by the Penny Watson Holiday Bash at the Residence Inn in Needham on December 6th.

We thought we would teach our children about the world, but ended up teaching the world about our children.
I thought I'd better jot down some notes about my recent trip to Paris before I forget some of the details. I already had to check the date stamps on some of my photos, because I couldn't remember which day we did what! It's a long summery, which probably should be broken down into more than one post, but here goes.
John, Sue and I got to Logan Airport in Boston at around 3:30pm on Saturday afternoon, June 20th and – with the time difference – we arrived a Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris at 7:30am Sunday morning. I managed to take a little nap on the plane, but basically lost a night's sleep. Having kids with special needs, this was not a problem for me. I'm quite used to sleepless nights.
We took a bus to the hotel and we were able to check in early, although we did end up upgrading our room, so that I could sleep in a real bed, which was well worth the extra expense. This room change would have been tricky without our faithful interpreter Nicholas. I should mention now that our main reason for going to Paris was to visit my nephew Nick who had been studying in Paris for a year. He had taken a French immersion class before leaving for France and I was amazed by how fluently he spoke the language. He said that he was even able to sometimes trick the locals into thinking he was French. We could not have had a better host, guide and interpreter!
After checking in, we walked to a nearby café for a bite to eat. I had no problem adjusting to the French food, lots of bread, cheese and chocolate was fine with me, although I did pass on the wine. Sunday afternoon we walked around Paris and visited Nick's dormitory. We did a whole lot of walking everyday.
Some of my first impressions of Paris were the lovely buildings. Most of them look similar, a light brown, tanish/beige color with black rod iron balconies. Many windows have flower boxes in them, which adds lots of color to the city. In most of the city the buildings are relatively low and very old, few skyscrapers except in one section of the city. The people seemed similar to what you would see in New York City, a melting pot of many different cultures, with probably more tourists than locals at this time of year. The most notable difference being most were speaking French.
The French are way ahead of us when it comes to being green. Most drive tiny cars, scooters, motorcycles, bicycles or get around via the metro or on foot. There are recycling receptacles all over the city. Some of the buildings have grassy yards planted on the roof tops.

Lots of Scooters and Motorcycles
The other thing I noticed right away was the history. In the US, we think a few hundred years is old, in France there are structures, buildings and art work dating back to the Middle Ages. There are beautiful statues and fountains all over the city and many little public gardens to stroll about (or just sit and rest). The most impressive old buildings in Paris have to be the churches. The first day we stopped by Saint-Eustache Church, built between 1532 and 1632. The roof is three stories high with its flying buttresses. The height of the ceilings inside some of these old churches is awe-inspiring. The stained glass, wood work and statues are fantastic. We also visited the Church of the Madeleine, designed in a Roman Pantheon style built in the mid-1700's.

Monday through Friday we usually left the hotel in the morning and didn't get back until around 10pm. It didn't really seem that late, because it doesn't get dark in Paris until after 10pm. There was only one night when we were out late enough to see the lights of the city. A block from our hotel room, we could see the Eiffel Tower lit up in the distance. But most nights we just crashed and slept like logs after walking around all day.
So, here are some of the highlights. Monday we went to the Arc de Triomphe. When we visited, they had a giant French flag flying under the arch, which was really cool. I think they were celebrating some French holiday. The view from the top of the arch was awesome!

Next we walked up the Montmartre Hill in northern Paris where there is another spectacular view of the city. On the top of the hill is the white-domed Sacré-Cœur Basilica. Another unique and beautiful church. We stayed for a while and listened to the nuns sing in this church. The narrow little streets around Montmartre are some of the older shops in Paris. This area had an authentic French atmosphere, very nice.

Le Place de la Concord
In the center of Concorde Square is an Egyptian monument called the Obelisk. It is covered with hieroglyphs with a gold top, very cool.
Top of the Obelisk
The old Paris Opera House was very impressive. The golden statues on either side of the building were gorgeous. And again on the building, the architecture and artwork is beautiful. Paris also has a new opera house, but it can't hold a candle to this one.
Paris Opera House
For dinner we went to a fondue place called Le Refuge des Fondues. The restaurant was so small that they had two rows of tables across from each other with just enough room for the waiter to walk up and down the single isle, which led from the front door to the kitchen. People who sat on the wall side of the table had to stand on a chair and step over the table to squeeze into their seats. The walls were covered with signatures and graffiti and they served wine in baby bottles. Good idea, with all those people climbing over the tables. Really fun place and good fondue too.
Nick at Fefuge Des Fondus
We spent the whole day on Tuesday at Versailles, but you could easily spend a few days there roaming around the palace and grounds. The palace itself is huge and over-the-top extravagant and you could spend a day just walking round the gardens. The landscaping, reflecting pools, fountains and statues around the palace where incredibly lavish. When I first walked out to the gardens, the view looked almost like a fake background or painting, it was so lovely.
Versailles is a bit south-west of Paris. The Palace of Versailles was the unofficial Capital of Paris and the center of political power in the days of King Louis the XIV.
View of the Gardens
Wednesday was a day in Disneyland Paris. I'm not going to mention names, but one member of our group thought that Disney was the highlight of the week. To me, it was like a day trip to Disney World in Florida. I had fun and got some nice photos, but as I was walking round the parks, I kept getting the feeling I was in Florida instead of France. Paris has two parks, Disneyland and MGM. I did go on the Tower of Terror for the first time and I really liked that, but no more up-side-down rollercoasters for me!

So far, the weather had been great; a bit cooler than expected, but beautiful weather for walking around the city. However, there was some rain in the forecast for Thursday. Thursday our plan was to go to the Market Place, buy some food and have a picnic in a park. So we hoped the rain held off, at least until after our picnic.
Nick buying many different kinds of cheese
We had a nice picnic lunch in a park right near the Victor Hugo Museum, so after lunch we stopped by the Museum. The Museum was the home of Victor Hugo in the mid 1800's. Hugo was a famous French writer, best known for his book The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Next we went to the Cluny Museum, which is a national museum of the Middle Ages. Part of the museum is actually the ruins of a Roman bath house dating from the third century! Lots of cool, very old stuff here.

We finished off Thursday at the Eiffel Tower, which was everything you would expect it to be. Hard to believe that they were going to tear it down after the Paris World's Fair in 1889. We took the two elevators all the way to the top. The first elevator takes you up one of the legs of the tower to the 2nd level where the views are fantastic, but it only gets better when you take a 2nd elevator to the top!

View from the top of the Eiffel Tower
Now, at the top of the Eiffel Tower is when our great weather turned to a thunder and lightning storm. I don't think a giant metal tower is the place to be in the middle of a lightning storm! So, we made our way back down to the ground. Luckily, the rain past in an hour or so and I still got some nice photos of the tower from the Trocadéro, which is across the river and offers the best view of the tower from the ground.

Friday, our last day in Paris, we started out at Notre Dame. Of all the places we visited in Paris, I'd have to say that Notre Dame was my favorite. I know what you are thinking, it's a church and you're an atheist! But, this building is just magnificent with its Gothic architecture, high vaulted ceilings and stained glass. When you walk into this church you can't help but be amazed.
John and I waited in line for almost two hours to climb the narrow spiral stone staircase up to the Chimera Gallery, which is a ledge 150 feet from the ground where we got a spectacular view of Paris and a close-up look at the gargoyles. These statues are each wonderful works of art and everyone of them is unique. I got some super photos of the creatures over-looking the city. This was well worth the two hour wait! We also met "Emmanuel", the cathedral's largest bell, which weighs more than 13 tons! Then we went on to the very top of the south tower for another great view of the city. And then down another spiral stairway to the exit, where we met with Nick and Sue who had spent the time in a cafe across the street and then in the park behind Notre Dame.
View from Notre Dame
While the two towered front of Notre Dame is recognizable to most people, the back of the cathedral is arguably more beautiful than the front, with its flying buttresses and rose garden.
On to our final tour, The Louvre. It would be impossible to see even a fraction of this place in one afternoon, but we did our best to at least see a few of the highlights. The Louvre is probably best known for Leonardo DaVinci's Mona Lisa. I was surprised that the museum allows cameras, although you are not supposed to use a flash, there were plenty of people who either didn't know how to shut off their flash or didn't know or care about turning it off. But the French don't really seem to care about people taking photos, unlike many museums in the States.

The famous Greek sculpture Venus de Milo, is also at the Louvre. It was created sometime between 130 and 100 BC, WOW!
Long before The Louvre became a museum, it was a fortress dating back to 1190 AD. Part of the ruins where excavated in the 1980's and is now preserved as an exhibit. The photo below shows what use to be a Medieval moat.

There you have it, the highlights of my trip to Paris. Thanks to Sue and John for letting me tag along with them. Thanks also to Rich and Mom for taking great care of the boys, so that I could make this trip. And special thanks to Nicholas for giving me the trip of a lifetime!
If you made it to the end, thanks for reading. Here are more photos at Flickr:
Although I focused on photos, I did get a few video clips with my small camera. Here is a short video on youtube:

When I started this blog, I picked a responsive theme that looked pretty. I got a nice stock image to use with it.
All seemed good until I realized that people go to my blog, and all they see is the giant image, and not the stuff that I am writing. Why would they keep scrolling and looking? Exactly, there is no reason why they wouldn't just close the tab and move on.
I started looking at other themes, and there were a couple decent ones, but none of them really had all that I wanted. So, I decided to make a theme myself.
For the rest of this week, I will be working on creating a blog theme, and I hope that the next post I make will be on the updated blog.
Stay tuned, and I will see you in a week!

Based on creating generalized and hybrid set and library with neutrosophy and quad-stage method, this paper presents the concept of "computer information library clusters" (CILC). There are various ways and means to form CILC. For example, CILC can be considered as the "total-library", and consists of several "sub-libraries". As another example, in CILC, a "total-library" can be set up, and a number of "sub-libraries" are side by side with the "total-library". Specially, for CILC, the operation functions can be added; for example, according to "natural science computer information library clusters" (natural science CILC), and applying "variation principle of library (or sub-library)", "partial and temporary unified theory of natural science so far" with different degrees can be established. Referring to the concept of "natural science CILC", the concepts of "social science CILC", "natural science and social science CILC", and the like, can be presented. While, referreing to the concept of "computer information library clusters", the concepts of "computer and non-computer information library clusters", "earth information library clusters", "solar system information library clusters", "Milky Way galaxy information library clusters", "universe information library clusters", and the like, can be presented.
Constitution Of "Computer Information Library Clusters" (Cilc)
There are various ways and means to form CILC. For instance, CILC can be considered as the "total-library", and consists of several "sub-libraries". The example is the "Four-library" presented in (Fu, 2016a) (including four sub-libraries: information library, question library, correlation library, and achievement library). As another example, in CILC, a "total-library" can be set up, and a number of "sub-libraries" are side by side with the "total-library". In which, the relationships between "total-library" and "sub-libraries" are also various. In (Fu, 2016a), the "total-library" may include all or part of the contents (such as directory, abstracts, etc) of sub-libraries. Of course, generally the "total-library" includes part of the contents of sub-libraries only.
Key Terms in this Chapter
Partial and Temporary Unified Variation Principle of Natural Science So Far and Partial and Temporary Unified Theory of Natural Science So Far: For unified dealing with the problems of natural science, applying least square method, "partial and temporary unified theory of natural science so far" can be expressed in the form of "partial and temporary unified variation principle of natural science so far". In this way, the theory of everything to express all of natural laws, described by Hawking that a single equation could be written on a T-shirt, is partially and temporarily realized in the form of "partial and temporary unified variation principle of natural science so far".
Computer Information Library Clusters (CILC): The expanded and developed result of libraries related to computer information is defined as "computer information library clusters" (CILC). For example, CILC can be considered as the "total-library", and consists of several "sub-libraries". As another example, in CILC, a "total-library" can be set up, and a number of "sub-libraries" are side by side with the "total-library".
Variation Principle of Library: The meaning of "variation principle of library" is the variation principle formed by using least square method (LSM) to process all equations and formulas included in the library. It can pave the way for many practical applications, such as big data analysis and the like.

3 Ways To Demonstrate Trust On Your Team
One of the most influential books in my personal leadership development is Patrick Lencioni's The Five Dysfunctions of a Team. It is profound in its simplicity.
In this post, I'm interested in addressing the first dysfunction Lencioni identifies – the absence of trust. Trust lies at the foundation of every successful team. It is the first thing that must be developed and maintained amongst teammates. Successful teams are built on trust and trust must permeate all phases of the team's efforts. It might be cliche' but the "T" in TEAM really does stand for TRUST.
Wouldn't you agree? I have been in a number of situations where we wore the same uniform, but we were worlds apart when it came to trusting each other.
Prior to the Miami Heat's Game 5 victory and winning the 2012 NBA Championship, Lebron James talked about his role as the leader of the team:
"When I go out on the floor, I do want to dominate the guy in front of me, but this is a team game, and I have all the trust in my teammates, and I try to do everything that needs to be done individually to help our team win." (AP Report)
I believe the Heat don't win the championship this year without trusting each other (this means players, coaches, front office, etc). How many of you remember the early exit last year in the NBA playoffs by the Los Angeles Lakers? They had the talent. They had the desire. They simply didn't have the trust. When Andrew Bynum took to the microphone after they were knocked out, he held nothing back…
"Obviously we have trust issues, and unless we come out and discuss them, nothing is going to change," he said only moments into his postgame interview. "It's quite obvious to anybody watching the game. Hesitation on passes. Defensively not being there for your teammate, because he wasn't there for you before. Stuff like that, those things." (ESPN LA)
Trust is crucial no matter what type of team you are leading. It could be a club, a council, a corporation, a church, or a championship NBA team. Your team will never achieve it's fullest potential until it establishes a culture of trust among those involved.
I don't think it's enough to simply say you trust your team. I think it takes each person looking into the eyes of every person standing in the huddle and knowing I trust you. Trust is an organizational value that requires individual contribution from everyone. Every person on the team has the ability to either increase or decrease the level of trust for the team as a whole. It takes an individual effort to prove and show how you trust each and every one of your teammates and to do the things necessary to earn and keep their trust.
With that in mind, here are three practical ways team members can build trust with each other.
1. Go first.
You can set the example for others by being the first to trust. I talk about the power of the words I Trust You in another post. It takes courage and vulnerability to trust someone else. That's the essence and power of trust. You can accomplish so much more with it. Yet you can't be certain how things are going to turn out. Much like faith, trust creates dependence on the other person.
Going first is about leadership. You gain influence as you provide an example worth following. You demonstrate your own sense of responsibility when you step into the circle of trust before anyone else does. Think of it this way, if I asked the people on your team who is most trusting person on the team, would your name be mentioned? If not, why not?
2. Be worth trusting.
Trust is a risk. If the people on your team are going to go out on a limb for you, they have to decide whether it's worth the risk. Every word, action, and behavior you offer (especially in times of difficulty) will help or hinder another person's decision about whether or not you are worth the risk of trusting. I believe each team member has to honestly look inside him or herself and ask: Am I worth trusting?
Know that being worth the trust of someone else takes time. It takes consistency. It comes about as you slowly tip the scales in favor of reliance instead of risk. Trust must be earned. If you lose it, it will take more time to earn it back.
3. Take responsibility for the consequences of your choices.
This is the most practical way for you and I to build trust with our teammates. For me, one of the hallmarks of successful leadership centers around the issue of responsibility. If you want to be a leader, you must be willing to take responsibility – first for yourself, then, for a problem. I've seen this prove itself over and over. A leader will take responsibility at the front end of a project or cause. But when something goes wrong, he or she won't take responsibility for the consequences. You and I will prove that we are worthy of trust when we own the consequences, as well as the choices that led to those consequences.
Take another look at the two quotes above by James and Bynum. This time, look at the pronouns. James talks about "I," Bynum talks about "we." There's a difference. Taking responsibility is being willing to talk about "I" for the benefit of "we." Lots of leaders get that backwards. They'll talk about "we" for the benefit of "I."
Lencioni writes about the power of responsibility as it relates to trust: "What exactly does vulnerability-based trust look like in practice? It is evident among team members who say things to one another like "I screwed up," "I was wrong," "I need help," "I'm sorry," and "You're better than I am at this." Most important, they only make one of these statements when they mean it, and especially when they really don't want to."
Think about it: How can you become more worthy of trust among your team members today?

Демократична коаліція (,  DK ) — лівоцентристська політична партія Угорщини, заснована колишнім прем'єр-міністром Угорщини Ференцом Д'юрчань в 2011 році. Раніше вона була фракцією Угорської соціалістичної партії, але відкололася 22 жовтня 2011 і стала окремою партією. Представлена 4 депутатами в Національних зборах Угорщини та 2 депутатами в Європарламенті. Партія сповідує ідеологію третього шляху в центризм, дотримується також підвалин соціал-лібералізму і виступає за євроінтеграцію Угорщини.

Історія

Частина Соціалістичної партії
5 жовтня 2010 Ференц Дюрчань оголосив керівництву партії, що створює нову платформу під назвою «Демократична коаліція», яка стане широким і відкритим суспільством для тих, хто поділяв ідеали революційних подій 1989 року. Ряд представників партії були незадоволені такою ініціативою Дьюрчаня. Перше засідання Демократичної коаліції відбулося 22 жовтня 2010 року в 14:00 в парку Святого Іштвана в 13-му окрузі Будапешта. Заступник голови партії соціалістів Андраш Балог в інтерв'ю «Népszava» заявив, що партія провалилася на виборах через помилки кабінету Дьюрчаня і взагалі повністю розкладається через корупцію.

У травні 2011 року платформи Угорської соціалістичної партії провели дебати про те, чи повинна партія продовжувати співпрацю з лівими партіями або піти на компроміс з центристами і правими, щоб створити альтернативу правлячому «Фідес у». Другу ідею підтримала тільки Демократична коаліція, всі інші підтримали позицію свого лідера Іштвана Хиллера. Хіллер розкритикував ідею Дьюрчаня про союз лібералів з консерваторами, назвавши її підривної для партії.

Окрема партія
22 жовтня 2011 року Дюрчань оголосив про вихід з партії і створення прозахідного лівого руху. Він пояснив, що соціалісти не перетворили себе, внаслідок чого він покинув Угорську партію соціалістів і зібрав свою партію. Він визнав нову конституцію нелегітимною і заявив, що весь уряд і суд Угорщини підкоряються тільки Віктору Орбану. Створена ним партія отримала назву «Демократична коаліція», а Ференц Дюрчань став її лідером 6 листопада 2011 року. На прес-конференції він призначив своїми заступниками Тамаша Бауера, Йожефа Дебрецені, Чабуа Молнара і Петера Нідермюллера, пообіцявши офіційно висувати на партійних з'їздах всіх кандидатів і зберігати рівноправність серед членів партії. У нову партію подали 3800 заявок на вступ.

Демократичної коаліції 7 листопада 2011 роки заборонили формувати в Парламенті Угорщини фракції до весни 2012 року, визнавши депутатів від коаліції в Парламенті Угорщини незалежними. Для вступу до фракції їм необхідно було почекати як мінімум півроку. Але в квітні 2012 року партія «Фідес» і зовсім заборонила формувати парламентську групу Демократичної коаліції, сказавши, що її можуть формувати тільки ті, хто пройшов за партійним списком на попередніх виборах. Дюрчань заявив, що так на ньому відігрався Орбан, а Чаба Молнар пригрозив поскаржитися до європейських судів.

Співпраця
У вересні 2013 року Угорська соціалістична партія відмовилася підписувати угоду про співпрацю з Демократичною коаліцією Ференца Дьюрчаня і Угорської ліберально партією Габора Фодор як популістами. Аттіла Мештерхазь в інтерв'ю телеканалу ATV сказав, що соціалістам доведеться схилити на свою сторону не визначилися ще виборців, а співпраця з Д'юрчань відштовхне їх від підтримки соціалістів. Дюрчань, в свою чергу, заявив, що Угорська соціалістична партія погодилася співпрацювати з Демократичною коаліцією тільки по 4 пунктам з 9, що було неможливо в принципі. Більш того, Демократичної коаліції було отримано лише 4 % місць в передвиборному списку, заборонивши Д'юрчань обиратися взагалі, і не дозволили створювати свою платформу. Дюрчань заявив, що партія не прийняла такі обмеження.

14 січня 2014 року опозиційні ліво-центристські партії склали загальний передвиборчий список для участі в парламентських виборах 2014 року. У список увійшли лідер угорських соціалістів Аттіла Мештерхазь, який збирався стати прем'єр-міністром, потім Гордон Байнаї (Разом 2014) і Ференц Дюрчань, третій у списку. Четверте зайняв ліберал Габор Фодор, а п'яте місце — Тімеа Сабо (Діалог за Угорщину). 56-е і 58-е місця отримали представники Ліберальної партії Угорщини. Голова парламентської фракції «Фідес» Антал Роган скептично до цього поставився, сказавши, що опозиція не запропонувала явною альтернативи або якесь нове обличчя. На виборах 2014 року в Європарламенті Демократична коаліція отримала 9,76 % голосів і делегувала двох осіб. 26 травня 2014 року Молнар оголосив про подачу партією заявки на вступ в Прогресивний альянс соціалістів і демократів.

How Bing Pre-Renders Webpages in IE11 and How Marketers Can Use The Pre-Render Tag for CRO Today
November 2, 2013 By Glenn Gabe Leave a Comment
Bing recently announced it is using IE11's pre-render tag to enhance the user experience on Bing.com. Pre-rendering enables Bing to automatically download the webpage for the first search result before you visit that page. Note, this only happens for "popular searches", and I'll cover more about that below. Pre-rendering via Bing means the destination page will load almost instantaneously when you click through the first search result. Bing explained that over half of users click the first result, and using IE11's pre-render tag can enhance the user experience by loading the destination page in the background, after the search is conducted.
A Quick Pre-Render Example:
If I search Bing for "Samsung" in IE11, the first result is the U.S. Samsung website. When clicking through to the website, the first page loads immediately without any delay (including all webpage assets, like images, scripts, etc.) Checking the Bing search results page reveals that Bing was using pre-render for the Samsung website homepage. You can see this via the source code. See the screenshots below.
Checking the source code reveals Bing is pre-rendering the U.S. Samsung homepage:
Yes, Google Has Been Doing This With "Instant Pages"
In case you were wondering, Google has been accomplishing this with "Instant Pages" in Chrome since 2011, but it's good to see Bing roll out pre-rendering as well. My guess is you've experienced the power of pre-rendering without even realizing it. When Bing and Google have high confidence that a user will click the first search result, they will use the pre-render tag to load the first result page in the background. Then upon clicking through, the page instantaneously displays. That means no waiting for large photos or graphics to load, scripts, etc. The page is just there.
Testing Bing's Pre-Render in IE11
Once Bing rolled out pre-render via IE11, I began to test it across my systems. When it kicked in, the results were impressive. The first result page loaded as soon as I clicked through. I was off and running on the page immediately.
But when did Bing actually pre-render the page and why did some search results not spark Bing to pre-render content? Good questions, and I dug into the search results to find some answers.
Identifying Pre-rendering with Bing and IE11
During my testing, I began to notice a trend. Pre-rendering was only happening when sitelinks were provided for a given search result. So, if I searched for "apple ipad", which Bing does not provide sitelinks for, then pre-rendering was not enabled. But if I searched for just "Apple", and Bing did provide sitelinks, then pre-render was enabled. If I searched for "Acura", sitelinks were provided for the branded search, and the first result was pre-rendered.
A Bing search for "Acura" yields sitelinks:
Checking the source code reveals Bing is pre-rendering the first search result for "Acura":
A Bing search for "Derek Jeter" does not yield sitelinks:
Checking the source code reveals Bing is not pre-rendering the first search result for "Derek Jeter":
So, Bing clearly needed high confidence that I would click through the first listing in order to use pre-render. In addition, there was a high correlation between sitelinks and the use of the pre-render tag. For example, "how to change oil" did not yield pre-rendering, "Derek Jeter" did not trigger pre-rendering, and "weather" did not trigger pre-rendering. But "Firefox" did trigger sitelinks and the use of pre-render.
How Can You Tell If Pre-Rendering is Taking Place
You need an eagle eye like me to know. Just kidding. :) I simply viewed the source code of the search result page to see if the pre-render tag was present. When it was, you could clearly see the "url0=" parameter and the value (which was the webpage that was being pre-rendered). You can see this in the screenshots listed above.
And for Chrome, you could check task manager and see if a page is being pre-rendered. It's easy to do and will show you if the page is being pre-rendered and the file size.
Using Chrome's Task Manager to view Pre-rendered Pages
How Marketers Can Use Pre-Render On Their Own Websites for CRO Today
Yes, you read that correctly. You can use pre-render on your own website to pre-load pages when you have high confidence that a user will navigate to that page. I'm wondering how many Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) professionals have tried that out! Talk about speeding up the user experience for prospective customers.
Imagine pre-loading the top product page for a category, the first page of your checkout process, the lead generation form, etc. Pre-rendering content is supported by Chrome, IE11, and Firefox, so you can actually test this out today.
I've run some tests on my own and the pre-rendered pages load in a flash. But note, Chrome and IE11 support prerender, while Firefox supports prefetch. That's important to know if you're a developer or designer. Also, I believe you can combine prerender and prefetch in one link tag to support all three browsers, but I need to test it out in order to confirm the combination works. Regardless, I recommend testing out pre-rendering on your own site and pages to see how it works.
You can analyze visitor paths and determine pages that overwhelmingly lead to other pages. And when you have high confidence that a first page will lead to a second page, then implement the pre-render tag. Heck, split test this approach! Then determine if there was any lift in conversion based on using pre-render to speed up the conversion process.
Analyzing Behavior Flow in Google Analytics to Identify "Connected Pages":
An Example of Using Pre-Render
Let's say you had a killer landing page that leads to several other pages containing supporting content. One of those pages includes a number of testimonials from customers, and you notice that a high percentage of users click through to that page from the initial landing page. Based on what I explained earlier, you want to quicken the load time for that second page by using pre-render. Your hope is that getting users to that page as quickly as possible can help break down a barrier to conversion, and hopefully lead to more sales.
All that you would need to do is to include the following line of code in the head of the first document:
<link rel="prerender" href="http://www.yourdomain.com/some-page-here.htm" >
Note, that will work in Chrome and IE11. If you combine prerender with prefetch, then I believe that will work across Chrome, IE11, and Firefox.
When users visit the landing page, the second page will load in the background. When they click the link to visit the page, that page will display instantaneously. Awesome.
Summary – Pre-Render is Not Just For Search Engines
With the release of IE11, Bing is starting to pre-render pages in the background when it has high confidence you will click the first search result. And Google has been doing the same with "Instant Pages" since 2011. Pre-rendering aims to enhance the user experience by displaying pages extremely quickly upon click-through.
But pre-render is not just for search engines. As I demonstrated above, you can use the technique on your own pages to reduce a barrier to conversion (the speed at which key pages display for users on your website). You just need to determine which pages users visit most often from other key landing pages, and then implement the pre-render tag. And you can start today. Happy pre-rendering. :)

Hair extensions can be defined as strands of normal human or synthetic fiber hair that come in many different shades and lengths. However, extensions that are manufactured of human hair wholesale are generally of the utmost quality and can be fairly affordable at the same time. They are favored by the majority of hairdressers and customers since they can be rinsed, brushed and styled in the same manner as natural hair. In addition, they can be colored with dye and trimmed like normal hair.
Purchasing human hair wholesale has gone up significantly in recent times because numerous well-known personalities are going for them. You can come across plenty of causes why individuals prefer these hairpieces. A number of individuals wear them for the reason that they lack long hair and don't have enough patience to wait for its growth. They make use of such elongations to make their little or medium length normal hair longer. Others opt for them as their hair is thin in thickness and wish to make it fuller and thicker. There are also varieties of techniques in which these hairpieces can be put on such as being stitched, affixed with glue or clipped into an individual's normally growing hair.
The benefit derived from clips in hair extensions in comparison to other varieties is that you can employ and take them off somewhat effortlessly at any point in time. The hair strands are fixed to tiny clips that get locked and unlocked using a snap. To achieve the most excellent outcomes, the clip-in hairpieces are fastened into areas beneath the crest of your normal hair in order to make the plastic clips undetectable to people around you. They can be put on rather straightforwardly with no assistance sought from a specialized hairdresser. Each piece of hair accompanies a mini-clip that is already fastened to the hair. As a do-it-yourself task, you can just separate hair into sections of about 1" in width, fix the clip-on extensions into position and replicate the process till you have accomplished the preferred appearance or hairdo.
You will possibly find more advantages than disadvantages as far as clips in hair extensions are concerned. First off, they are instantaneous and can be fastened without difficulty as you do it again and again. There is no requirement for paying out hundreds of bucks at a beauty salon, because they normally consume barely a couple of minutes to get attached at home. One more plus point to clip-in hairpieces is that they can be taken off anytime without causing harm to your natural hair. They can be made straight, waved and styled as simply as natural hair. Nevertheless, the major disadvantage to clips in pieces is that the mini-clips can be noticeable in case your hair changes place or gets gusted. Furthermore, keep in mind that such extensions may come off if you are not watchful. So, buy clips-in human hair wholesale and have a fuller look.
Lynn Meyer is a fashion expert and writes articles about hair and beauty products. He has found Frigga Hair as the best manufacturer of clips in hair extensions. The company's human hair wholesale comes in many varieties. Purchase these products at competitive prices on the website of Frigga Hair today!

Red Lake Man Charged with Murder in Officer Shooting

RED LAKE NATION – A Red Lake man has been arrested and charged with one count of second-degree murder and four counts of assault with a dangerous weapon in connection to the shooting death of a Red Lake Tribal Police Officer.
According to court documents, on Thursday five officers with the Red Lake Tribal Police Department responded to a call to conduct a welfare check on 28-year-old David Donnell Jr., at his home in Redby. The officers found Donnell standing outside on the porch and attempted to have him walk towards them, but Donnell instead went inside the home. Because Donnell had an active tribal warrant and had refused to comply, the officers broke through the door. Gunfire started from inside the home in the direction of the officers.
Officer Ryan Bialke was struck by gunfire through the front door. Gunfire continued from inside the house towards the other four officers on the scene. At one point, an RLTPD officer returned fire. Officers then retreated into the woods to escape the continued gunfire.
Officer Bialke died from his injuries.
Officers arrested Donnell at a nearby house.

Share All sharing options for: Film Review: How the Eagles' Three Wide Receiver Sets Dominated Super Bowl LII
THANKS TO WARREN SHARP (@SHARPFOOTBALL) AND LOUIE BENJAMIN (@PFF_LOUIE) FOR THEIR HELP ON THIS POST.
We are now almost a week removed from the Patriots' disappointing loss to the Eagles in Super Bowl LII, and yet it's still difficult to wrap your head around what we just saw.
That's because what we saw, an Eagles' offensive outburst for 41 points and 538 yards, was unprecedented for a Bill Belichick coached defense.
Arguably the greatest defensive mind in the history of the NFL surrendered the most yards and the second-most points in a game in his historic career as the Patriots head coach in the biggest football game of them all.
What made Super Bowl LII so mind-numbing, besides the final score, was that the Eagles beat the Patriots because New England's defense was predictable.
Bill Belichick has spent his entire career as a football coach picking on other teams tendencies, but the Eagles and head coach Doug Pederson flipped the script on Belichick on Sunday night.
The Eagles, aided by an advanced analytics department and Pederson's offensive brilliance, saw a tendency in the Patriots' personnel groupings defensively that they knew they could exploit.
Over the course of the previous 18 games, the Patriots were one of the worst defenses in the NFL at defending the run against three wide receiver sets, and more specifically, shotgun runs with three wide receivers on the field.
In fact, the Patriots surrendered a whopping six yards per rush to opponents in 11-personnel (3 WR, 1 RB, 1 TE) before Super Bowl LII, as Warren Sharp explained here: http://www.sharpfootballanalysis.com/blog/2018/to-secret-to-running-on-the-patriots.
The six yards per rush were well above the league average of 4.6 yards per rush.
Furthermore, the Patriots' run defense got even worse when teams ran out of shotgun from 11-personnel, as teams averaged 6.7 yards per rush in those situations against the Pats.
And in the Super Bowl, the Eagles had tremendous success both rushing and passing out of 11-personnel, mainly because they knew the Patriots would match the look in their nickel defense.
The Eagles ran 43 plays in Super Bowl LII out of 11-personnel, and conversely, the Patriots played 41 snaps in their 3-3-5 nickel defense.
In other words, the Eagles knew they had the advantage in three wide receiver sets, and they knew exactly how the Patriots would match it personnel wise.
In all, the Eagles gained 5.4 yards per rush out of 11-personnel, with 70% of their rush attempts coming out of that grouping, and eight of their ten biggest plays from scrimmage came out of three wide receiver sets as well (six passes, two rush attempts).
For comparison, in the AFC Championship Game, the Jaguars used non-11 personnel on 67% of their running back rushing attempts, and gained only three yards per rush, but they gained 6.5 yards per rush on 23% of their attempts in 11-personnel.
The Jaguars, to their demise, allowed the Patriots to put heavier personnel groupings on the field to stop the run. The Eagles did not give the Patriots that same luxury.
Below, I'll highlight the ways that the Eagles exploited weaknesses in the Patriots' run defense, and created favorable matchups for their skill players by feasting on the Patriots' nickel defense.
The Eagles wasted no time attacking the Patriots defense by running out of 11-personnel in shotgun immediately in the first quarter.
This appears to be an RPO concept and the Eagles have good numbers with three offensive lineman to three Patriots defenders on the play side.
However, the key to this play is what happens with linebacker Elandon Roberts and the Patriot defenders on the back side of this run. The left guard and left tackle appear to be pass blocking, so the Patriot defenders on that side of the field read this as a pass play. That opens up a massive hole for running back Jay Ajayi and luckily Kyle Van Noy is able to trip him up at the line of scrimmage.
Still, a six-yard gain is a decent amount of yardage on first down, and you immediately see how the Eagles RPO concepts gave the Patriots defense problems.
Roberts is really the tough one to watch on this play. He turns his back on Ajayi dropping into coverage and is completely fooled by the action.
Here's the first big run of the game for the Eagles, a 36-yard scamper by old friend LeGarrette Blount.
The Eagles are in 11-personnel with Foles in the gun. The Patriots match that look with nickel and only one true inside linebacker (Kyle Van Noy). The other "linebacker" on the play is a safety, Devin McCourty.
On this play, they hand the ball off to Blount, who gets a terrific block by center Jason Kelce turning Lawrence Guy out of the hole (whenever a DL's body/shoulders turn that's bad news). By displacing Guy, the Eagles take the only player that has a chance of really stopping this run for a short gain. The Eagles also perfectly sniff out a Patriots run blitz between Kyle Van Noy and Eric Lee, and do a great job to give Blount some room through the middle of the defensive line.
And Devin McCourty, who played arguably his worst game of the season in the Super Bowl, takes a terrible angle on this play, which prevents him from cleaning up the run once Blount gets through the line.
From there, Blount breaks an arm tackle from Malcom Brown and is in the open field, and it's up to safety Duron Harmon to bring down the freight train, which he does nicely on the play.
Although Blount's longest run of the day was out of shotgun, he only averaged 3.2 yards per rush on shotgun runs.
However, Eagles running back Jay Ajayi averaged 7.4 yards per rush on shotgun handoffs, and you saw him almost break one for a big gain earlier.
Here, the Patriots loaded the box with eight defenders, but three of those defenders are defensive backs.
An eight-man box should be stout against the run, but the Patriots' necessity to put more speed on the field to combat the Eagles' pass catchers forces them to go lighter.
The Eagles run an inside zone read play and pull left guard Stefan Wisniewski, which allows right guard Brandon Brooks to climb to Jordan Richards at the second level.
Richards, a safety, has no chance to shed the block from Brooks. As for the other safety in the box, Patrick Chung, the Eagles have Wisniewski to wall him off on the play.
Think about that for a second, because of the personnel the Patriots are forced to put on the field; they have two safeties taking on blocks by two Eagles interior offensive lineman. Those are the types of mismatches that happened to the Patriots defense all night.
By spreading the Patriots out, and forcing them to play with extra defensive backs on the field, the Eagles created a size mismatch on the ground that the Patriots simply couldn't prevent.
PASS COMPLETIONS
The Eagles passing attack wasn't quite as productive as their ground game out of 11-personnel, only averaging 7.2 yards per attempt, but their chunk plays through the air mostly came in three wide receiver sets.
The reason for that big-play success was in large part because the Eagles were unpredictable due to their rushing success out of 11-personnel.
Because of that success, the Patriots were forced to crowd the line of scrimmage, albeit still with extra defensive backs on the field, and were often reacting to plays instead of anticipating.
It also forced the Patriots to play with just one safety in the middle of the field with an extra body in the box, and as a result of that, the Eagles were able to get favorable matchups isolated downfield.
So the Eagles established the running game, and now they hit the Patriots defense with a play-action pass out of a three-wide receiver set. And wide receiver Alshon Jeffery hauls in a 34-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter.
On this play, Foles is under center, where running back LeGarrette Blount is a much more significant threat than in shotgun.
However, the key to this play is what happens in the middle of the field both before and after the snap.
The Eagles start with a two-receiver stack to Foles' right, but motion wide receiver Torrey Smith into the slot next to Jeffrey. Patrick Chung follows Smith to the other side of the formation, which tips off the man coverage to Foles.
Then, the Eagles are going to run what's called a Yankee concept in the middle of the field, as one receiver runs a deep over and another a deep post, which is a perfect route combination for their speedy wideouts.
The Patriots only have one safety in the middle of the field (Duron Harmon), and the crossing patterns leave cornerback Eric Rowe isolated on Jeffery in man coverage. Rowe has decent coverage on the play, but it's a better throw and catch.
This touchdown catch by Jeffrey is another head scratcher for the Patriots coaching staff. Why they didn't have top corner Stephon Gilmore shadowing Jeffery for the entire game remains a mystery.
The matchup that was most heavily affected by Bill Belichick's decision to bench Malcolm Butler was Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor against safety Patrick Chung.
Chung has been one of the Patriots' most valuable defenders over the last few seasons but was asked to play a role in this game that doesn't best suit his skill set.
Chung played a season-high 43 snaps as a slot cornerback in Super Bowl LII, and many of those snaps came in man coverage against Agholor in the slot. Both Butler and cornerback Eric Rowe were candidates to draw the matchup with Agholor entering Sunday, but without Butler in the mix, the Patriots had to use a safety to cover a wide receiver.
On this play, the Eagles utilize play-action once again, and the fake holds Duron Harmon in the middle of the field for an extra half a second. The Eagles also have tight end Zach Ertz in the inside slot next to Agholor, which means there's a lot of players threatening the middle of the field. And just for good measure, Pederson throws in a dummy route by the outside wide receiver at the top of the screen to hold Eric Rowe on Torrey Smith.
That creates a one-on-one matchup between Chung and Agholor with delayed safety help, and Pederson calls a fade from the slot and Agholor is just too fast for Chung.
Agholor, Foles, and Pederson didn't just pick on Patrick Chung. They also utilized the speedy slot receiver against the Patriots linebackers when they played zone coverages.
Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles threw for 125 of his 373 yards right up the middle of the Patriots defense, and it was a significant part of how the Eagles created easy reads and favorable matchups for him in the passing game.
Here, Ertz once again motions pre-snap, and the Patriots don't react to that motion which suggests it will be zone coverage. Agholor is lined up in the slot with Chung across from him and linebacker Kyle Van Noy inside. He then runs a deep over route right through Van Noy's zone, and the Pats linebacker can't flip his hips around in time to break up the pass.
This was one of Foles' best throws of the game. He threaded the needle on that pass and anticipated that Agholor would get to that spot before Van Noy and had enough zip on it to beat safety Devin McCourty to the ball too.
Another matchup that heavily favored the Eagles going into the game was receiving back Corey Clement against the Patriots linebackers, and as it turns out safeties as well.
Clement had a career-high 100 receiving yards in Super Bowl LII, and the rookies previous career-high was just 31 yards in the Eagles' divisional round game against the Falcons.
Eagles head coach Doug Pederson was able to isolate Clement on two critical receptions, one coming against safety Jordan Richards and another on linebacker Marquis Flowers.
Let's start with Richards, and Patriots fans might want to skip past this part for your sanity.
Clement beat Richards on a wheel route that went for 55 yards, and eventually set up the infamous "Philly Special" trick pass for a touchdown to quarterback Nick Foles before the half.
On the play, Richards, for god only knows what reason, attacks Clement aggressively right at the snap, which was both stupid and costly.
Richards thought that he could jam Clement at the line to prevent a release downfield, which was obviously a mistake seeing that Clement ran right past him.
The 55-yard gain by Clement was the longest play from scrimmage for the Eagles in the game, and Johnny down at Foxboro High could take a better angle than that.
We'll continue with the Clement theme here and point to one of the games biggest plays: a 22-yard touchdown reception by Clement in the third quarter.
The Eagles are still in traditional 11-personnel, but Clement starts out wide rather than in the backfield.
That forces linebacker Marquis Flowers to line up across from Clement, and when Clement motions into the backfield it tips off the man coverage to Foles.
Clement runs another wheel route this time up the opposite sideline, and because of the threat of tight end Zach Ertz, the Patriots double Ertz with Richards and Devin McCourty, leaving Flowers on an island with Clement.
Flowers is not far behind Clement on the play, and McCourty tries to come off of Ertz to provide help once he sees the play developing, but Foles' throw is too good, and it beats Flowers for the touchdown.
In my opinion, that was Foles' best throw of the night, and there were a lot of good ones. Dropping the ball in there with just the right combination of touch and pace to beat the coverage, heck of a throw.
Finally, the last killer out of 11-personnel through the air was the Eagles' usage of bunch formations with their receivers.
The Patriots have had a difficult time defending and communicating their assignments out of these types of looks, and the Eagles featured them heavily to try and exploit that weakness.
This a crucial third down and six play with 8:35 to go in the game, and a stop for the Patriots would mean a punt for the Eagles.
Philly starts with Clement in the backfield, but motions into an empty backfield, which opens up the middle of the field.
Then, the Eagles run a staple play of their offense, which is a terrific design by Doug Pederson. The Eagles know the Patriots are going to defend this bunch set by the outside corner (Gilmore) taking the first outside release, the corner in the middle taking the deepest threat (Bademosi), and the inside defender taking the inside threat (Chung).
So what they do to combat that is bait Stephon Gilmore into thinking tight end Zach Ertz is releasing towards the sideline, but then he actually runs an angle route back into the middle of the field. The little looping action immediately creates the inside leverage on Gilmore, and the Eagles convert on third down.
Philly would go on to score the go-ahead touchdown at the end of that drive, and Pederson's unique and diverse play calling on third down showed up in a big spot on that particular play.
We talked all week in the lead up to Super Bowl LII about the terrific play calling and designing by head coach Doug Pederson.
Pederson lived up to the hype in the game, but more importantly, he kept the Patriots defense off-balance by establishing a running game out of pass-first looks.
Typically, teams don't run a heavy dosage of running plays out of 11-personnel, but the Eagles have done it all season and did it even more in the Super Bowl.
In fact, Philadelphia ranked third in the NFL during the regular season in percentage of rush attempts out of 11-personnel (60%), behind only the Rams and Raiders.
And as stated earlier, the Eagles ran out of 11-personnel on 70% of their rush attempts in the Super Bowl, knowing the Patriots couldn't stop them.
So why does New England have such issues stopping opponents on the ground out of 11-personnel?
Well, the main reason is a lack of talent at linebacker, specifically linebackers that can both stop the run and play in coverage. That forces them to play far too often with just one inside linebacker in the middle of the field and puts a heavy burden on the defensive line to stop the run. Against a good offensive line like that Eagles, that's a matchup you can't expect to win consistently.
In particular, their lack of coverage linebackers is a major problem. It forces them to put defensive backs in spots where linebackers typically would be too often and prevents them from playing a high-volume of snaps with two inside linebackers on the field.
Their current linebackers also aren't good at diagnosing plays on either RPO's or straight play-action, as you saw with Elandon Roberts, and opponents will continue to exploit that weakness.
The Eagles' flexibility out of 11-personnel kept the Patriots defense on their heels, and never allowed them to anticipate either run or pass.
The Patriots defensive philosophy has always been to take away what the opposition does best, but on Sunday night, the Eagles were able to do whatever they wanted.

The Attack on the Arleux Loop
The Arleux Loop was a part of an intricate system of German defenses that were intermingled with the village of Arleux-en-Gohelle. This attack was part of a British effort to push the German line back to aid the French attack at the Aisne. The success of this attack came at a cost, as the 4 Canadian battalions involved lost many soldiers.
Battle Fields Boundary Map at Arleux-en-Gohelle on April 28, 1917, by Colonel Nicholson, G.W.L. from Canadian Expeditionary Force, 1914-1919 in Official History of the Canadian Army in the First World War, (Ottawa; Roger Duhamel, Queen's Printer and Control of Stationery, 1963, page 271)
Following the success of the Battle of Arras, pressure against German positions continued at the end of April 1917. The Arleux Loop was a part of an intricate system of German defences that were intermingled with the village of Arleux-en-Gohelle heavily fortified with concrete, extensive belts of wire and what patrols reported as an "unusually large amount of machine guns".
This attack was part of a larger British effort since it was Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig's intention to push the German line back far enough to occupy their forces in order to aid the French attack at the Aisne. Three Divisions of the British Army were to attack the German lines along the Scarpe River with a brigade of the 1st Canadian Division securing their left flank by attacking the Arleux Loop.
The Canadian Corps part of the attack was conducted by three battalions of the 2nd Infantry Brigade, 1st Canadian Division and supported by the 25th Battalion of the 2nd Canadian Division on their left flank. The 10th Battalion attacked along the northern border of Arleux towards Drocourt while the 8th advanced on their right and the 5th on their left.

In preparation for the attack the Canadians sent ground patrols and ordered special air patrols from No.16 Squadron R.F.C. to watch for and subsequently inform of possible German counter blows.
Using the knowledge that they had regarding German defences, the Canadians planned artillery barrages all along the German front. In anticipation of powerful and quick-responding German counter-attacks, the Canadians placed the 1st Canadian Brigade in reserve with orders to reconnoitre covered approaches to Arleux for moving in reinforcements.
On 28 April 1917 at 4:25 am, the Canadian battalions stormed towards the German front line across a 2600 yards wide front. The 10th Battalion effectively executed their plan often having to engage in hand to hand combat to clear every hidden bunker and shelter.
The 10th Battalion continued advancing along the road to Drocourt before German fire from the village of Arleux slowed their advance. Following a small delay, the 10th Battalion was able to successfully clear the village and push through Arleux. They established a defensive position in the forest beyond the town.

A short hour and a half after the attack began the 2nd Canadian Brigade had gained all of its objectives. The only small exception was on the 5th Battalion's left flank where they had to establish a defensive flank due to heavy machine-gun fire. During the afternoon, reinforcements arrived to help resist counter-attacks and Canadian Artillery successfully disrupting these attempts, leading the Germans to abandon efforts to recapture the position.
The action by the 2nd Brigade was characterized by the British Official Historian as "only tangible success" of the joint British and Canadian attack on 28 April. The planning and preparation taken by the Canadians took in order to maximize the effectiveness of the attack led to their success.
This victory came at a high cost as the four Canadian Battalions involved suffered nearly 1,000 casualties, killed and wounded by the end of the two-day battle. One hundred soldiers from the 10th Battalion had no known grave following the battle. Using a combination of historical research and forensic anthropological analysis, the Directorate of History and Heritage of the Department of National Defence has identified the following soldier whose remains were recovered due to modern human activity.
Milne, James Alexander, 10th Canadian Infantry Battalion (Canadians).

New scholarships to promote women in business
A new scholarship programme designed to help promote women take on leadership roles within companies and organisations has been developed in collaboration with the 30% Club.
Launched with the goal of achieving better gender balance at all levels in leading Irish businesses, the 30% Club supports scholarships programmes in leading third level institutions across Ireland. UCC is the latest institution to offer a 30% Club Scholarship to undertake the Executive MBA at Cork University Business School.
At the launch of the scholarship the Dean of Cork University Business School, Professor Thia Hennessy, said: "The under-representation of women in senior business roles is a great concern for all in society and is something about which I am personally very concerned. I am a great admirer of the work of the 30% Club and so I am especially delighted to launch this scholarship and give the opportunity to an aspiring female business leader to fulfill her potential through our Executive MBA programme".
Designed to prepare its participants to become organisational innovators, managers and leaders, UCC's Executive MBA challenges experienced professionals to consider their own perspectives and view the world through an alternative lens. The programme moves beyond providing a strong understanding of core organisational functions and skills by fostering an environment where working executives can develop an integrated and critical appreciation for the role of leaders and managers. Central to the development of this understanding is the careful approach to class composition, intended to ensure that participants are exposed to a variety of professional and personal backgrounds.
The 30% Club was officially launched in Ireland in January 2015 and it is now supported by the leaders of over 200 Irish businesses committed to accelerating gender balance in their organisations through their voluntary actions. It is a collaborative approach to creating change in Ireland, aiming towards 30% women on boards and in executive management by 2020. Carol Andrews, Chair 30% Club Ireland said: "We are delighted to partner with UCC which joins a number of universities and business schools across Ireland to rectify the under-representation of women pursuing post-graduate management education by offering scholarships for women. Through these partnerships, we seek to build a continuum of change, highlighting the impact of executive education in accelerating career development and helping women to decide to undertake further education. 2018 saw a growth in the program from 8 to 15 awards."
The Scholarship is open to all female applicants who meet the entry requirements and have accepted a place on the UCC Executive MBA programme. Applicants must submit an application to the UCC Executive MBA Academic Director. Making special reference to the Scholarship, they must also include a short personal statement of no more than 1,000 words identifying the reasons why they would benefit from participating in the programme and outline their future career ambitions. The scholarship is valued at €27,000 covering the cost of the recipient's tuition fees.

Impotence or erectile dysfunction has been a problem for many men, but there are great advances in impotence treatments in the last years. Brilliant medical researchers have studied the causes of impotence and the possible underlying causes to come up with several impotence treatments that have made a significant difference in the lives and well-being of many people. Of course, the problem directly affects men, but their significant others, their partners and their entire families are really affected indirectly. The causes of impotence are not the same for all men so the impotence treatments must be crafted properly for each individual.
Impotence can be caused by physiological or psychological factors, and a good physician will first determine what is the cause of impotence in each patient. The psychological reasons must be treated by some intervention by an expert who can get to the root of the problem and offer a prescription for recovery. If a physician determines that the impotence is caused by physiological factors, the impotence treatment most suitable for this patient should be prescribed. The physician will test the patient to find out the underlying cause of this condition. There are several serious conditions that could be causing impotence.
Impotence could be the result of a serious disease including heart disease and diabetes. The physician looking for an impotence treatment will first try to cure the underlying condition should one exist. The physician will have the patient thoroughly tested to determine the proper treatment. The physician will prescribe treatment for the underlying cause, and then will work on the appropriate impotence treatment. There are several impotence treatments in the form of drug therapies developed by several of the major drug companies. These products have proven to bring in significant profits for these companies which is a sign that they are effective.
Three of these impotence treatments have emerged as the most popular which means that these are probably the most effective. Some of these have been shown to help men with serious conditions such as diabetes as well. The reviews of these medications by medical researchers have shown significant success. These impotence treatments have not produced unwanted side effects in significant numbers. This news is particularly positive for those doing the follow up research. Many men live richer lives today because of the advances these treatments have brought to modern medicine. The drug companies that have manufactured these treatments are much happier as well.


The Life Of A Pakistani!
The first page of every newspaper is enough to give you goosebumps, take care because you might spill your tea due to the horrendous mishaps that occur everyday in almost every city of Pakistan. Some say, due the persistent attacks Pakistanis are left with no empathy or shock for those who were just murdered brutally by God knows whom!
But i firmly believe that no matter how staunch, obdurate or insensitive you are, somewhere deep down you feel 'weak'. A blast or an attack, in a far-fetched area might not affect you. But when it is your own city or sometimes your own neighborhood…….you are just left a little more assailable and devastated!
Did you just hear a mother crying over her son's the dead body who was martyred while catching a few terrorists? It cuts your heart, so that you bleed out all your anger and frustration?
A man who slaughtered his own family because of poverty leaves you pondering for hours. An act of insanity or a wise decision to protect them from dying of hunger? It just hits you….and it hits you hard.
A normal human can't sustain such amount of savagery, so we try to distract ourselves. Some get drowned in their career and others start living a lie to pretend as if nothing happened. But when we take a step into realities, we experience the same trenches of poverty and shackles of inhumanity. When you hear about a blast near a place which you visit everyday, it make you quiver. You have a flashback of all those people you saw there yesterday. Are they still alive? Or they are the victims of this act of violence?….Am I lucky that i survived? What if i was there at that point of time? Then my life would also have been wasted as just 'another victim' of an attack.
I met a foreigner and we started a discussion about current affairs. He said that all Pakistanis must be used to attacks and violence since excess of it makes you apathetic. But is it that easy to become numb? No! Its not.
No matter how long you have been living in summer……..the heat of sun still excruciates & makes your body sweat.
No matter how long you have been hiking the mountains a rock thrown at you………… still hurts you in the head.
No matter for how long people have been slaughtered………each time the color of the blood is still red!
