VIDEO: Leveraging Doubt
Doubt, while annoying and irritating, can be a leader's best friend.
When a leader hesitates, pausing to consider the assumptions as well as the options, she is doing what the organization needs.
How a leader responds to the second-guessing is a measure of his ability to withstand pressure. Knowing in your heart that you made the best call you could make at the time forms a foundation for going forward.
The leader has only her gut to trust. And when she can look into the mirror and say she made the best decision possible at the time then that is all you can ask.

You Think You Have Morale Problems? (HBR)
Originally posted 4.23.2009
President Barack Obama visited CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia the other day to speak to CIA employees. In doing so, the President was doing what every senior leader needs to do in times of crisis: be seen and be heard.
People of good intention from all sides of the political spectrum have different views of the CIA, but inside the agency, employees have been feeling beleaguered and demoralized.
Therefore, in some ways, what has occurred at "The Company" is akin to what is occurring in many companies. It fell to the President, as it falls to all senior leaders, to rally the troops. While debate will continue to swirl around the CIA, what the President said and did at Langley is worthy of study for leaders seeking insight to communicating in tough times.
Come to them. When Director Leon Panetta introduced the President, he noted the employees' enthusiastic response, "This is a very loud welcome [laughter] to a group that is supposed to be silent warriors." Employees love it when top officials visit their location. It sends a powerful signal when the leader comes to your workplace. It demonstrates that what you do matters.
Affirm their worth. "You are on the front lines against unconventional challenges," said the President as he itemized the work the CIA does to "support our troops," "disrupt terrorist's plots," and help "destroy terrorists' networks." Therefore, the President said, "You should be proud of what you do." Employees never tire of hearing their good work praised by people at the top, and need to hear that the work they do is consequential.
Stand with them. Knowing that many in the CIA are feeling under siege for the release of information on the torture memos, the President accepted responsibility for their release. But he made it clear that he would "protect your identities and your security" adding that he "will be as vigorous as protecting you as you are vigorous in protecting the American people." Employees need to know that executives have their back because all too often when things get hot it is employees who suffer the heat first.
Do not pull punches. The President was explicit in expecting CIA to uphold the values of the U.S. Constitution. By contrast, "Al Queda's not constrained by a constitution." He noted that it may seem as if the U.S. is "operating with one hand behind our back." No matter that CIA has "the harder job." The President emphasized, "we will defeat our enemies because we're on the better side of history." Leaders need to have explicit standards, values and behaviors. Such things reinforce the culture and leaders need to endorse them.
Tough jobs in tough times demand solidarity from top to bottom. Leaders need to iterate what they feel and why they feel it.
Experienced leaders know that speeches may make headlines, but employees do the work. It will be up to the President through his appointed CIA director Leon Panetta to ensure that the CIA adheres to Administration aims when it comes to intelligence gathering. Showing respect for its work is a good first step; what happens next will matter to history.
Leaders can never assume that employees do not want to see and hear them, especially in tough times. What Obama did at Langley, senior leaders need to do in their own shops. Make the personal visit. Shake some hands. Give a pep talk. Take questions. Listen to what people are saying. And when possible, promise a return visit. When times are tough, the leader's presence is an affirmation that what employees do matters.

VIDEO: 3 Questions to Create Powerful Engagement
Engagement is employees' commitment toward their work. It is rooted in purpose.
You can begin to establish engagement by asking employees three simple questions.
In this video, I reveal that answers to these questions knit communication and follow-through together in ways that demonstrate that a leader is interested enough to listen, concerned enough to act and willing enough to offer assistance.

Five Ways to Sharpen Your Communication Skills (HBR)
We need people who can communicate!
Raise your hand if you have heard this line at least a thousand times. In fact, you've likely heard it so much that it's become meaningless. Communication, as I teach and coach, is the glue that holds an organization together. It is the means by which we exchange ideas, learn from each others, and perhaps most importantly, connect to each other.
"Communication and interpersonal skills remain at the top of the list of what matters most to recruiters." That's according to the Harris Interactive/Wall Street Journal business school survey published in September 2007.
So why do we ignore the relevance of communication until it becomes an issue? One reason may be because we don't take the time to quantify what we mean by it.
That's why I found Adam Bryant's New York Times interview with Richard Anderson, CEO of Delta Airlines, refreshing. In the interview Anderson proceeded to define his expectations for effective communication.
1. Know the fundamentals. "People really have to be able to handle the written and spoken word," said Anderson. Express yourself well verbally, as well as on paper or through email. Failure to communicate coherently leaves people unsure of what is expected of them.
2. Think clearly about what you will say. Anderson is not a fan of PowerPoint. Bullet points without a "subject, a verb and an object" do not convey "complete thoughts." With respect to Mr. Anderson, PowerPoint itself is not the problem; executives who use it as a short-hand for thinking are. Too many managers use it to sketch out thoughts rather than flesh them out.
3. Prepare for meetings. Documents for meetings should be distributed in advance and made clear and concise. Anderson also wants meetings to "start on time." That's all part of the preparation process. So often meetings go off track before they begin because managers and employees do not take the time to think about what they will say before they say it.
4. Engage in discussion. "I want the debate," says Anderson. "I want to hear everybody's perspective, so you want to try to ask more questions than make statements." All too often, either due to the press of time or perhaps a feeling of over-importance, executives do not make it clear that they want to hear alternate points of view. Such an approach leads to "groupthink" because no one speaks up.
5. Listen to others. Discussions are meaningless if no one is listening. Anderson does not like to see his managers checking their BlackBerrys in meetings. Doing so shows lack of "focus" and is akin to reading a newspaper during the meeting, says Anderson. As little as we may tend to oral and written skills, we spend even less time on listening. For that reason, too many managers end up ill informed and, in turn, ill prepared to deal with issues that subsequently morph into problems. Time spent listening might have headed off such disasters.
"Measure what you treasure" is a saying used by compensation professionals in reference to aligning rewards to corporate goals. The same philosophy can be applied to communication. If you value communication skills you will recruit, train and hire for it. Oral and verbal skills are a baseline; organizations also need to look at the broader context of how such skills are used to inform, persuade, coach and inspire. That requires years of practice and example. It is up to leaders to show the way by communicating clearly — but also teaching others to do the same.
VIDEO: Why Good Managers Spend Time Out of Their Offices
"The office is a dangerous place from which to view the world."
That's a quote from David Cornwell, the great spy novelist who wrote under the pseudonym John le Carré.
Such advice applies not only to spies but also managers. But too often, because of the pressures of time, managers spend too much time behind the desk and not enough time in the field. As a result, they lack the first-hand knowledge that managers need to operate effectively.
In this video, I present tips on what to do when an executive gets outside the office.

In a Crisis, Avoid Labeling (HBR)
Politicians on the right and left are quick to label issues. For example, some may call federal assistance to businesses "nationalization." Others may refer to the assistance as "stabilization." Such labeling is part of the political discourse; it encourages like-minded followership. And therein lies the problem; you speak to partisans rather than to individuals.
Executives need to avoid such political games; they need to reach out to all stakeholders. When times are tough, no one person has all of the answers, but so often the collective intelligence of the organization can suggest alternate ways of thinking. The first step in soliciting new thinking is to stop the labeling game. Here are some suggestions:
Avoid generalizations. Short-term thinking leads us to believe that good ideas come from on high, and dumb ideas come from below. That, after all, is the basis of hierarchy. But when we have witnessed so much organizational failure, often emanating from poor decisions made in the C-suite, it is time to shake up the decision-tree. Encourage people to think for themselves when they approach issues and problems.
Skip the name-calling. Bosses are not idiots, nor are employees half-wits, but all too often we hear slurs from either side. And while it may sometimes make us feel good to let loose with such terms of "dis-endearment," resist the temptation. Learn to look at colleagues as contributors rather than as two-dimensional cutouts.
Stop pejorative thinking. If a person comes up with an idea that the team has not tried, a common reaction is to say, "no way, no how." The labeling of a new idea cuts off discussion before the idea can be debated. It may indeed be a dumb idea, but until it is discussed and debated, you will never know. Jumping immediately to "no" is a sign of desperation. It is short-hand thinking that feeds short-term actions that may do long-lasting harm. Ideas for new products as well as process improvement come often from doers rather than managers. At the same time, managers, too, have good ideas. Each needs to listen to the other.
Don't objectify. President Lyndon Johnson, as noted in the classic text on negotiation Getting to Yes, routinely referred to the enemy as "he." Although common in military usage, Johnson used the pronoun in reference to the North Vietnamese, the Viet Cong and the Chinese — as if they were a single entity without noting their differences. Same goes for managers who consider anyone who questions a decision as a "dissenter" and automatically on the "other side." Objectification creates distance between speaker and listener, and thereby hinders negotiation and collaboration.
Of course not all labeling is wrong-headed. After all, brand identification is a form of visual short-hand. When people associate a positive experience with a brand, be it toothpaste or an automobile, they will buy it, tell friends about it, and buy it again. That "labeling" is beneficial.
But when labeling is used for exclusion, especially in terms of people and ideas, then it cuts the leader off from opening dialogue with people who may have good questions as well as some answers. Labeling also erodes organizational cohesion. It divides individuals into "us" and "them" camps. That is destructive and prevents people coming together for joint purpose.
And that may be the differentiator with companies in trouble — good people coming together to solve problems.

Music news for the week of July 6, 1990
Music news for the week of July 6, 1990 -- Brief updates from the music world
July 06, 1990 at 04:00 AM EDT
HOLLY HOLY
The $242,000 paid for Buddy Holly's Gibson J-45 acoustic guitar on June 23 wasn't a record — a slightly charred Fender Stratocaster played by Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock sold for $347,000 in April. But the Holly instrument was the unexpected centerpiece of an auction at Sotheby's in New York, where more than 100 items of memorabilia from the singer's estate sold for $703,615, including the auction house's commission.
The Gibson guitar (above, left center) was special because Holly owned it for several years before his 1959 death in a plane crash at the age of 23, and because he created a hand-tooled leather cover for it that featured, among other things, his name in capital letters. Nevertheless, Sotheby's estimated before the sale that the acoustic guitar would sell for $35,000 to $45,000. The auction house didn't anticipate a bidding war.
Actor Gary Busey, who portrayed the rock & roll star in The Buddy Holly Story, went head-to-head with Peter Morton, owner of several Hard Rock Cafes, which feature rock memorabilia as their decor. Busey's identification with Holly (né Charles Holley) overcame Morton's need to furnish a new Hard Rock in Las Vegas. "On May 19, 1979, I met the Holley family," Busey said after his winning bid. "They took me to the room where they kept all of his stuff. Every guitar, every record was there. It was a shrine. Mrs. Holley put that guitar in my lap and said, 'Buddy would want you to play this."'
The other big spender was a man from Lubbock, Tex., Holly's hometown. The anonymous buyer purchased nearly $200,000 in memorabilia — including a 1958 Fender Stratocaster electric guitar ($110,000). Morton of the Hard Rock may have lost out to Busey, but he still found $76,450 worth of Hollyana, including a pair of trademark black-frame glasses ($45,100). Pat DiNizio, of the rock group the Smithereens, spent $14,300 for a reel-to-reel tape deck and microphone that Holly used to compose.
Holly's family was satisfied with the money generated at Sotheby's, even though they tried to sell the estate privately for about $1 million earlier this year. His widow, Maria Elena, said the family had often been approached to sell his possessions, but that now was "time to let go." Holly's brother, Larry, now 64, indicated that the family was tired of guarding the treasure, plus, he said, "I'd like to retire." While the family still owns some of Holly's possessions — his widow has the glasses he was wearing on the fatal plane trip — there are no plans now to hold another sale.
LET'S TRADE
Do you own a copy of RCA's original compact disc of David Bowie's The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars? If so, the specialty label Rykodisc will exchange it for its new, digitally remastered disc of the same album. Given that the originals are currently worth about $50 to some collectors, is it a good deal? "Definitely," says Pete Howard, editor of the newsletter International CD Exchange, "especially since the original may not retain its value. And Ryko really kicked butt with the (CD) booklet's liner notes and photos and the sound quality." Others aren't so easily convinced. "For the consumer, it's a decent deal," one East Coast record dealer says, "but the collector is probably better off saving the old one." Those who want to trade (in the U.S. only) can send their old CDs to Rykodisc, Pickering Wharf, Bldg. C-3G, Salem, Mass. 01970.

Most of you drive vehicles that track rather than cut — "track" means that the rear of the vehicle follows very closely within the turning radius of the front tires, while "cut" means that the rear wheel will tend to cut across the back edge of the arc that you make when you turn the front wheels. A good example of this is to watch how a big UPS box truck's rear axle makes a turn vs. how a Ford Explorer makes a turn.
You might consider this useful, yet random information and question my point, so here it is: Unless you drive an exceptionally long vehicle or vehicle that cuts turns, 90% of the time you do not need to swing out and away from the turn that you are going to make. I almost got smashed into by a guy in a BMW 3–series that swung out into the left lane today to make a not-very-tight right turn into a parking lot.
Consider this a PSA for safer and happier driving.

Proceedings of the Conference 'Teaching and Researching Big History: Exploring a New Scholarly Field'
Author: Baker, David
Almanac: Evolution: Development within Big History, Evolutionary and World-System Paradigms
In August 2012, the International Big History Association held its very first conference at Grand Valley State University in Grand Rapids Michigan. The conference was on 'Teaching and Researching Big History: Exploring a New Scholarly Field'. The IBHA members hailing from the United States, Australia, the Netherlands, Russia, Canada, the United Kingdom, Korea, China, India, Egypt, and many others, converged on Grand Rapids to explore every facet of this discipline, which by its very nature extends across the sum total of human knowledge.
The International Big History Association was founded in Coldigioco, Italy in August 2010. Its membership now spans nearly 300 researchers, scientists, historians, and educators worldwide. Its mission is to explore the broad trends within the grand narrative of 13.8 billion years, to investigate the unity that extends across what C. P. Snow called the 'two cultures' of the sciences and humanities, and to extend the fruits of knowledge of this investigation to generations of students. Currently, there are approximately 50 Big History-style courses being taught at universities all over the world, with lengthy comprehensive undergraduate programs like at Dominican University of California and Erasmus University in Rotterdam. In addition, there are hundreds of Big History classes being taught in secondary schools all over the world, thanks to the tireless work of the people at the Big History Project. We also see the first glimmer of higher level Big History courses, both for undergrads and master students, as well as Big History PhD research at the University of Amsterdam and Macquarie University in Sydney. Numerous research articles and scholarly books have already been published on Big History. There are still more to come as a new generation of scholars develops. Big History has opened up a vast array of new niches in scholarship waiting to be filled.
In August 2012, scholars and students from all over the world came to Grand Rapids to discuss and celebrate the new period of knowledge, research, and investigation that is opening up for us. We were privileged to attend planetarium explorations of the Universe and artistic displays of the grand narrative. We conferred on the idea of complexity in the Universe: one of the broad trends that seems to underpin all 13.8 billion years of the grand narrative in a rising crescendo of energy flows and intricately composed biological and technological forms. We explored the idea of Little Big Histories, brainchild of Esther Quaedackers, and the use of Big History thinking to contemplate small things from a universal perspective. We discussed the interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity that form the core of the nature of Big History. Our intrepid graduate students, blazing a trail with many academic risks and career pitfalls, weighed up the future of research in Big History.
Scholars informed us of the evolutionary epic and the evolution of hominids that underpins humanity's common past. We discussed the role of Big History in the ancient world, the silk roads, and the development of a global network and greater human complexity in the era of agrarian civilisations. David Christian and his PhD students held a panel on the key Big History concept of 'collective learning' and the role it plays in human history, generating more and more cultural complexity from our humble days as hunter-gatherers, through the Agricultural Revolution, right up to modern day. We explored the idea of the 'Anthropocene' or the period that is presently opening up in the history of our planet where humans have developed the power to influence much of the workings of the biosphere: with all the potential threats that entails.
We contemplated the deep future of the Universe, the potential for human development (if we do not wipe ourselves out), and the role cultural evolution could one day play in the wider cosmos. Ecologists, environmentalists, and world historians discussed the ecosystem at all stages of Big History: the distant past, the present, and the dangers it will face in the future. We considered the role Big History might play as a modern secular scientific 'creation myth' that binds together all mankind and informs us about global ethics. We explored the role mathematics can play in history, by discovering and calculating broad trends in the biological and cultural phases of the grand narrative.
We were treated to presentations on the Big History Project, funded by philanthropist Bill Gates, which will hopefully revolutionise the way in which our young people and future leaders are taught about the Universe around them. Similarly we got to experience firsthand the power of Chronozoom and its ability to display knowledge from all the disciplines and all timescales for anyone who would care to explore the timeline of the grand narrative – or even create and develop a timeline of their own. And let us not forget the many panels held on education and pedagogy, tackling the titanic challenge of teaching the vast story of the Universe to students in elementary and high school.
The Proceedings
Nevertheless the degree of scholarship and research on Big History questions and teaching was exemplary and innovative in many ways. There is something in the nature of the transdisciplinary scholarship of Big History that breeds new ideas and fosters new forms of genius. It is those works which we shall feature in the upcoming IBHA Conference Proceedings, Teaching & Researching Big History: Exploring a New Scholarly Field, published out of 'Uchitel' Publishing House. The decision to publish these Proceedings was made by the International Big History Association Publication Committee.
The proceedings shall feature roughly 20–25 articles, encompassing works on cosmology, biology, geology, and human history. The works are contributed by scholars from every corner of the globe. The proceedings articles are written by some of the established members of the field, but also by new and promising scholars who are trying their hands at this genre for the first time.
The structure of the proceedings will feature articles about 'Understanding and Explaining Big History', including works by David Christian on collective learning, Sun Yue on the Chinese application of Big History, Esther Quaedackers's work on Little Big Histories, Lowell Gustafson's study of the relationship between Big History and political science, and Bradley Layton and Richard Coren on the nature of entropy and complexity in Big History.
The second section will involve 'Big History's Phases, Regularities, and Dimensions'. Articles here include an inventive new work by Leonid Grinin on the application of evolutionary principles to the star-galaxy phase of the grand narrative. Andrey Korotayev has constructed a mathematical model of the commonalities between the biological and social phases of the story, with many dynamics of the tale being intricately explained. Ken Baskin investigates the punctuated nature of many phases of the cosmological, biological, and historical. Christian Jennings investigates Big History trends in knowledge accumulation in the time of Aristotle. Abel Alves applies a Big History framework to the history of the Spanish Empire. And Joseph Voros takes a thrilling and insightful look at the potential for the rise of complexity in the deep future.
Our third section on 'Big History Teaching' includes a brilliant hands-on account of pedagogy and teaching experience by Big History veteran Cynthia Brown. Similarly, Tracy Sullivan has produced an extremely thorough work on Big History and the 21st century classroom. Michael and D'Neil Duffy and also John Fowler have composed works on how Big History can operate in elementary Montessori classrooms, and John Cleland Host has devised an intriguing but practical method of enhancing the Big History experience of students.
With the danger of falling into cliché, I can promise 'all these and many more' to be featured in the upcoming conference proceedings, many of which, I wager, will pleasantly surprise you for their innovation in the world of education and scholarship. Consider the proceedings a sample of the works big historians will produce in the coming years. This is only the beginning.

HMS Ark Royal
Filmed on board the Royal Navy's flagship over four months in 2010, the series followed the aircraft carrier's operations during what would turn out to be her last international deployment. With a 1000-strong crew, she was the United Kingdom's largest aircraft carrier and had been in service for 25 years. But in October 2010, shortly after the deployment ended, it was announced that she would be be decommissioned in early 2011, five years earlier than planned, along with the Harrier jets that flew from her deck. It was an eventful deployment that began in the Atlantic. But she was soon diverted to help pick up Britons stranded by the closure of the skies over Europe due to the eruption of the Icelandic volcano, Eyjafjallajökull. After returning briefly to the UK for repairs, she headed back across the Atlantic to Norfolk, Virginia to resume her planned mission.

Colo. Gold Mine Expands in Face of Falling Gold Prices
By Ben Markus
Looking out at the Cresson mine expansion, between Victor and Cripple Creek. At peak construction the mine will employ more than 1,000 people. [CPR/BMarkus]
Colorado's largest gold mine continues to expand, despite a dramatic drop in the price of gold over the last two years.
In between the two small mountain towns of Cripple Creek and Victor, an hour's drive from Colorado Springs, bulldozers are busy crafting an immense rock wall across a mountain valley.
The Cresson mine expansion looks like a dam for a reservoir, but instead of water, it will hold a virtual mountain of dirt, filled with miniscule amounts of gold.
"This is not your great-grandfather's gold mine," said Ray DuBois, Vice President and General Manager of AngloGold Ashanti, "however we are mining through your great grandfather's gold mine."
This was one of the world's great gold deposits a hundred years ago, but all the big nuggets were taken by miners with pickaxes. Now, the leftover rock is blasted apart, trucked into valleys like this one, and sprayed with sodium cyanide.
"It actually dissolves the gold from the rock, and then the gold goes into solution," said DuBois, "and it just percolates down through the rock."
Then the solution is pumped out, and the gold is extracted and shipped off to market. This $585 million expansion has not stopped, even though gold prices have dropped.
"No, but that could happen, and it has happened with other operations," said DuBois, "but fortunately we have a very good workforce here that's very cost-conscious and very dedicated to keeping this mine open."
DuBois says he hasn't had to stop expanding, partly because gold prices are still higher than when his company planned the project back in 2010.
It's mainly higher cost mines, which made sense when gold was closer to its peak price, that have been forced to close.
"If your cost of extraction is really high and the gold prices are going south, you're going to be the first one to shut down," said Campbell Harvey, a finance professor at Duke University.
He argues gold prices are still abnormally high and that demand from China and India could also be softening. He claims that could force the Cresson Mine to stop expanding, if not scale back even more.
That'd be bad news for the small historic mining town of nearby Victor.
"Cripple Creek has gambling, Aspen and Vail have ski resorts, Victor has the mine," said Victor city councilman Michael Wallace. "They are a huge part of our identity."
The Cresson mine is one of the largest employers in the district and a huge economic driver, even though it'll have more than 1,000 workers during the peak of construction, which is already putting pressure on the town.
"Well, we just don't have a place to put them," said Wallace. "What it'll do, of course, is drive up the rent costs and drive up the housing costs."
He says most people in the district welcome the mine's expansion. Others are more conflicted. When Steve Johnson retired to Cripple Creek in 2005, he didn't realize he'd be close enough to see the mine's expansion from his front porch.
"I recognize that they own the land, and they can pretty much do whatever they want with it," Johnson said. "If I don't want them to do it, it's up to me to get a bunch of money and buy it from them, and turn it back into what it used to be."
He can already hear construction noise off in the distance; but he recognizes this project is good for the local economy.
"Right now I'm trying to remain philosophical about it," he said.
Back at the mine, DuBois and his bosses at the South African-based AngloGold Ashanti keep a watchful eye on gold prices as they build out the mine. The company's share price has dropped more than 70% in less than two years. DuBois said he's been forced to cut costs, even instituting a no-idling policy for trucks and bulldozers.
"There's nothing like falling commodity prices, especially the commodity that you sell, that you produce, to [make you] look deep at yourself and see how you can improve things," DuBois said.


Although the avocado is rich in fat, calories derived from all production of avocado are monounsaturated fat. Effective for reducing fat and fat weight naturally this will work efficiently if the exercise routine and get enough rest.
Avocados have the minerals, vitamins, nutrients, magnesium and potassium than other fruits. Potassium is useful to maintain the health and elasticity of blood vessels. If we consume regularly, it will protect us from heart disease and blood pressure.
Avocados contain lots of fiber and low in calories. This will make you feel full without making you fat. Avocados are very good to use as a menu for the diet.
Avocado fact 4: The best foods to combat cardiovascular problems.
For people with cardiovascular problems, cholesterol levels are an important issue. Regarding this issue, Avocado offers a solution. Avocados make a special enzyme that reduces bad cholesterol and at the same time, stabilize our density lipoprotein in the blood. With avocado consumption on a regular basis, this will lower bad cholesterol in your body.
Avocado is a fruit that is flexible and we can serve in various ways. We can create volumes of avocado or we can enjoy it as a salad, or processed into a variety of other foods. Options to serve avocado is endless and everyone can enjoy them anywhere.
Calories derived from avocado is 100% of the fat but happy news is that all sources of fat from monounsaturated avocados. Also good fats, rich avocado lutein, vitamin E and beta-sitosterol. This is very good for our skin, improve our vision, reduce morning sickness in pregnant women, and cure bad breath odors.
Avocados contain minerals, vitamin C, vitamin C, iron, vitamin b6, fotale, phytonutrients, and other natural antioxidants. One avocado contains about 81 mcg of lutein and is perfect for improving the health of our eyes.
Normally, our bodies are difficult to properly absorb the phytonutrients and avocado comes as a solution to that problem. Research has shown that eating avocados and combine with other fruits or vegetables to increase the level of absorption of phytonutrients.
Regularly consume avocados, which contain high levels of potassium, calcium will decrease the elimination of urine and reduce the chances that we have mold in our kidneys stones.
Avocado Fact 10: Who should not eat avocados?
For anyone who is over-sensitive to latex should not touch or eat avocados because it has the enzyme chitinase, which can trigger allergic reactions.
This is facts about avocado nutrition, hopefully you get clear information about avocado benefits.

I found the description of the problem - it is a conflict of libraries. To solve this problem are advised to eliminate conflicting library. To do this, I do so:
configurations {
    all*.exclude module: 'httpclient'
    all*.exclude module: 'commons-logging'
}

Warnings disappear, but the error remains. Can you please tell how to eliminate these libraries.
Thanks.

A: "com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define "
This vexing error is caused when two or more copies of a .class file or jarfile's contents have been inadvertently included into a project. (Newbies to Gradle and/or Android Studio get blocked by this one often enough).

*

*Try excluding it in your app's top-level build.gradle-
android {
    ...
    packagingOptions {
        exclude('org/apache/commons/codec/*')
    }
}

*Check if the library was included as dependency more than once: review all of your project's build.gradle files to ensure it's been included only once.
 compile 'org.apache.commons.code' ...

*A library or subproject may also includes a copy of the duplicated library or classfile: you can exclude it where the library is compiled into your app, look for its compile spec in your build.gradle file(s)-
dependencies {
    ...
    compile('com.googlecode.json-simple:json-simple:1.1.1') {
        exclude group: 'org.hamcrest'
    }
}

*If that doesn't work, try appending ", module: 'library'" to the exclude line, i.e.-
    compile('com.googlecode.json-simple:json-simple:1.1.1') {
        exclude group: 'org.hamcrest', module: 'library'
    }

*To determine exactly which library or subproject is including the duplicated classfiles, try running gradle with --debug and reviewing the console output in order to trace where that inclusion originated-
% gradle --debug release 2>&1 | less

A: I had a similar problem when I use HttpClient in api 23. I import org.apache.http.legacy.jar the problem appear. I use useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy' solve it.

Masonic Artwork, even though it has much more meaning than just a piece of decoration, is used by many lodges to decorate or dress up the lodge and Its social areas, and the same Masonic Artwork is also used to decorate many Masons' homes. Each piece of Masonic artwork portrays a story about Freemasonry by illustration. The saying, a picture is worth a thousand words, is more true to a Mason when looking at Masonic Art than to a non-Mason with any other type of art. Every piece of Masonic Art depicts something unique related to the history of Freemasonry. Almost any Mason can verify this.
Many Masonic groups who have formed to support Masonic charities, causes and other functions are in need of good clean, crisp and clear artwork in their logo to identify them and set them apart in a large field of different Masonic Groups. A well designed logo will set a group strides ahead of those who use a logo that is made without an artful design.
magazine article. Our apologies to Bro Chrisopher.
This month, the Widows Sons Magazine is featuring the artwork of Brother Christopher Sicurella, of Germany. The artwork Brother Christopher can do for you or your lodge or group is described in the feature article in this section of the WSMag. We hope you enjoy his artwork, and if you are in need of any type of artwork, Brother Christopher will make your thoughts and desires into a work of art, sculpture or a logo. You can contact Brother Christopher by e-mail from his website which has been added to the feature article. We will be also displaying Brother Christopher's artwork in the January and February issues of the WSMag.

With Hugh Jackman's Logan opening in theaters this weekend, the top spot of this list was never in doubt. The questions were always whether audiences would respond well to the first R-rated superhero movie from an established franchise. Was the big opening of Deadpool an abberation or a sign of things to come? If today's numbers are any indication, the answer is, maybe a little bit of both.
With $85 million in its opening weekend, Logan is now the highest-grossing of the Wolverine movies — yes, that includes X-Men Origins: Wolverine — and the fourth highest grossing March movie of all time. What kind of a success Logan will be is entirely dependent upon its staying power. If fans continue to respond well to Hugh Jackman's final outing as Wolverine, Logan could see a more gentle decline than the previous two films, with audiences encouraging others to see it (and maybe heading back to theaters for a second screening themselves). It may not have done Deadpool money in its opening weekend, but the studio certainly has its fingers crossed for a $200 domestic gross.
While nowhere near the numbers of Logan, what Get Out did in second place is no less impressive. Jordan Peele's horror-comedy about race dropped a minuscule 21%, nearly matching last week's gross with $26 million. With horror films, the hope is always that a strong word of mouth will give the movie long legs at the box office; the glowing reviews and overwhelming audience feedback seem to be doing just that, pretty much ensuring that Get Out will be one of the most successful films of 2017.
In third place with a surprising $17 million is The Shack, a faith-based film starring Sam Worthington and this weekend's Saturday Night Live host Octavia Spencer. To put that in perspective, The Shack has already beaten the opening weekend grosses for movies like God's Not Dead and War Room, and those films launched a thousand thinkpieces about the current state of religious cinema. If The Shack follows in those films' footsteps, it should end up somewhere in the $60 million range, a solid outing for a movie like this.
Before I Fall, the other major release from this past weekend, landed in fifth place with $4.9 million. A young adult spin on Groundhog Day, Before I Fall has actually pulled in pretty decent reviews, meaning it might have a second life on VOD. It's theatrical prospects, however, are dim at best.
The LEGO Batman Movie landed in fourth with $11 million, pretty much closing the door on its chances to hit $200 million but still representing a solid chunk of change for the studio. Meanwhile, John Wick: Chapter 2 finished in fifth with $4.7 million. At just shy of $83 million, it's still technically possible that the film could break the $100 million mark, but fans should be happy, as numbers like this mean a sequel is pretty much guaranteed.
The remaining Top 10 is divided up among Best Picture nominees having a victory lap at the box office — Hidden Figures finished in seventh place with $3.8 million, while La La Land finished in tenth with $2.9 million — and wide releases having one last gasp. Barring bigger drop-offs from the above films, The Great Wall in eighth at $3.5 million and Fifty Shades Darker in ninth at $3.4 have probably enjoyed their last weekend in the Top 10.

Heterostructures, which stack two different two-dimensional (2D) materials vertically together, have recently attracted tremendous attention. However, as one of their members, the in-plane thermal conductivity of black phosphorene/graphene (BP/GE) heterostructures, which plays a key role in determining their functional properties, is still unknown. In this work, we use non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations to study the in-plane thermal conductivities of BP/GE heterostructures and BP in BP/GE heterostructures. The effect on in- plane thermal conductivity with respect to the size effect (sample length), coupling strength, and hydrogen coverage is systematically examined. It is found that the in-plane thermal conductivity of infinite-size BP/GE bilayer heterostructures exhibits strong anisotropy, which is calculated to be 206.61 +/- 6.35 (along the zigzag direction) and 51.02 +/- 3.72 W m(-1) K-1 (along the armchair direction). In addition, we found that the enhancement of the coupling strength increases the in-plane thermal conductivity of BP/GE heterostructures and BP in BP/GE heterostructures, which may be due to an increase in phonon group velocities in BP and a stronger phonon coupling between BP and GE. In our research, hydrogenation has also been found to enhance the thermal conductivity of BP in heterostructures. The present study is expected to provide guidance for the study of the in-plane thermal transport properties in other 2D heterostructures, and it is of significance for understanding the thermal transport behavior of BP/GE heterostructures and BP in heterostructures and promoting their future applications in thermal management and thermoelectric devices.


USA Today Decemeber 18, 2007 Grammy-winning record producer Joel Dorn dies Producer Joel Dorn, who worked with many noted R&B, jazz and pop artists during his 40-year career, died Monday. He was 65. LOS ANGELES (AP) — Joel Dorn, the Grammy-winning record producer who worked with Roberta Flack, Bette Midler, The Neville Brothers, Herbie Mann and numerous other jazz, R&B and pop musicians in a career spanning 40 years, has died at age 65. He died Monday in New York of a heart attack, said Kevin Calabro of Hyena Records, a small independent jazz label Dorn founded. Dorn won back-to-back Grammys for record of the year in 1972 and 1973 for the Roberta Flack hits The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face and Killing Me Softly With His Song. He also produced such acclaimed recordings as Midler's The Divine Miss M, The Allman Brothers Idlewild South and the Nevilles' Fiyo On The Bayou. He was likely best known within the industry, however, as one of the in-house producers for Ahmet Ertegun's Atlantic Records, where he worked with such jazz greats as Mann, Les McCann, Max Roach, Freddie Hubbard, Keith Jarrett, Oscar Brown Jr. and others. "Joel bridged the worlds of jazz and pop with enormous skill and grace, never compromising the integrity of his artists and their music," said Edgar Bronfman Jr., chairman of Warner Music Group, whose subsidiary, Rhino Records, has reissued much of Atlantic's jazz catalog under Dorn's direction. Born in Philadelphia on April 7, 1942, Dorn was still in his teens when he went to work as a disc jockey for a local jazz station. The job led to a friendship with Ertegun's older brother, Nesuhi, who hired him at Atlantic in 1967. In addition to his work with Rhino, Dorn also released archival recordings for the labels 32 Records, Night and M. For 32 Records he produced the popular 1998 compilation Jazz For a Rainy Afternoon. At the time of his death he was working on a compilation of the work he did with Nesuhi Ertegun (Mister D: If I'm not mistaken, Bette will have a track on this CD) called Hommage 'A Nesuhi. "Even to his last day he was passionate about the music and the projects he was working on," Calabro said. "He was the real deal." Dorn is survived by sons David, Michael and Adam and his longtime companion, Faye Rosen.

Q: Can I give something using my iTunes gift card? I want to give an itunes movie to a friend but can I use the credit I have on my iTunes gift card?

A: You should be able to click the present option or give to a friend or whatever it is called.
You pay, so it works without any problem.
Why would you think using a prepaid card like that does not work? It's a great method used  worldwide by people who don't have a credit card, or do not want to  link them.

A: No. You can only use "the payment method that you have on file for your Apple ID."

"Tell Me The Whole Story" expresses the coming-of-age narrative of a group of teenagers while confronting a fetishized attitude towards youth culture. Photographs, letters, and collaged imagery were attached to a painted sheet of galvanized steel via neodymium magnets. During the exhibition, viewers were invited to handle and explore the components of the piece. By encouraging viewer participation, the audience is drawn into the private lives of these characters.
Drug Mandala
paint, vials, candy, baggies, pills, and mixed media on panel
"Drug Mandala" plays upon the concept of the mandala— the representation of the universe in Buddhist and Hindu thought. In this Westernized interpretation, the mandala has been reworked into a colorful, board game-like display. A closer inspection of the geometric figures alludes to the presence of drugs— both illicit and pharmaceutical— saturated throughout the piece. "Drug Mandala" calls to attention the abundance of chemical worship in modern American society.

Lachlan makes the smart choice to study a degree at TAFE NSW
TAFE NSW St George
Alice Dalley
Lachlan Darmanin is encouraging school leavers to make the same smart choice that he did to study a degree in Applied Commerce majoring in Financial Planning at TAFE NSW and join the ranks of fellow graduates with a 95% employment success rate.
TAFE NSW Head Teacher in Accounting and Finance Diana Bugarcic said students could expect great outcomes by studying a degree at TAFE NSW.
Diana said, "TAFE NSW has been delivering financial planning and accounting degree courses for over eight years, and are very proud of our students success with 95% of our students employed in the industry by the end of their course.
"Our academic teaching staff work closely with the major associations including the FPA, AFA, CPA and CA which provides opportunities for students to participate and network with professionals and employers."
Financial Planners can expect excellent job prospects with Australia ranked fourth globally in superannuation assets at nearly $3 trillion dollars.[1] There has also been a 25% increase in financial advisers in Australia over the last five years[2] – with an ageing population meaning more Australians are seeking professional financial advice.
When Lachlan finished his HSC, he discovered that he could apply immediately for a degree at TAFE NSW - even before he received his ATAR result - and was thrilled to be accepted.
Lachlan said, "I was originally considering studying project management, but when I finished high school I found that TAFE NSW had an orientation to the applied commerce degree, and I haven't looked back since."
"I like the practical skills and work experience that I've acquired by studying a degree at TAFE NSW and the more hands on approach. We were able to participate in role plays which are a great way of applying the knowledge that we have learnt.
At TAFE NSW we don't just learn the information, we learn how to apply that knowledge in real-life scenarios."
TAFE NSW students, including Lachlan, had the chance to display the breadth of their talents at the AMP University Challenge last month - a national financial planning competition for tertiary students that aims to identify promising new talent and promote high standards of education and professionalism among the next generation of advisers.
TAFE NSW took home the silver medal at the challenge with Lachlan enjoying the opportunity to apply his knowledge and make connections within the industry.
"The entire experience of the AMP Challenge was great, and I'm so proud of what we were able to achieve as a team. Our industry coach Gavin gave us an amazing insight to the financial planning role and gave us all useful information to remember for the day, working along side him was a lot of fun," Lachlan said.
Subjects in management, marketing, law, economics and business statistics are included in the Applied Commerce degree to ensure students have the full range of knowledge and skills required to work effectively in the financial services industry, whether it be in financial planning, accounting or both.
For Lachlan, the degree means he's well on the way to leading the new wave of Financial Planners in Australia.
"The TAFE NSW degree program is excellent and has given me the opportunity to participate in an internship and make many industry connections. I look forward to my future role in Financial Planning," Lachlan said.

Reading the article "Relation 101" I wondered what the course designed by Marline Pearson at Madison Area Technical College in Madison was like. I found the article interesting where it said that the course was to foster smooth relationships between couples and learn about love. At some point, I wished we had this course in our university as well.
However, Beth Bailey's quote brought me into consciousness. The quote said, "People fall in love. It's not something where you can go down a checklist and match people up by scientific formula." To some degree, I agree with Bailey. Love is not something you can measure and moreover you cannot force yourself to love someone who meets your criteria. This does not mean that I am against Pearson's course. Here, I would like to answer Bailey. We all accept love happens itself, without you knowing it. But how many people have relationship out of conflict and tensions? In many love relationships, a gloomy cloud of misunderstanding casts an evil spell. In my opinion, the course would help couples understand their partners and get some tips that are usually successful in maintaining good relationships. As Sarah Brown brings up the fact about the demand of this course, Bailey should have once thought about the quest for knowledge on this matter from a larger population. In addition, the experience of Rebecca Olson after taking the course helps us to infer the underlying importance and benefits of this course for college students.
On the other hand, I think it is more about sharing experiences of one another in relation to their relationships. One can avoid certain behaviors by looking at the consequences of others who had such behaviors. Rebecca took the course to prevent the repetition of the mistake similar to her divorced parents. Moreover, as an emotional being, humans often go through ups and downs in their love life. So, at some point, this sort of courses will help them to get out of the mess and lead a normal life.
The other interesting line in the article I found was the one that said today's emphasis was on enhancing communication skills. This sounded realistic to me. This is the age of communication and somewhere Pearson's course seemed to cover this feature.
Thus, I found the article interesting and educational. Today, the rate of depression is increasing resulting from unhealthy love-life relations. So, this course may prevent the possible cases of depression.


New Delhi [India], Apr 2 (ANI): As political climate heats up in the country in the run-up to the 17th Lok Sabha polls, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday unveiled an advertisement titled 'Janta maaf nahi karegi (people will not forgive)' which was one of the popular electoral slogans used by the party in the 2014 General elections.
The party has tagged a video of a commoner who is seen attacking the Congress for raising questions on the works done by the BJP in the last five years.
"You are questioning the surgical strike and air strike. You are questioning China fleeing from Doklam. You are questioning the statue of Sardar (Patel). You are questioning the Supreme Court. If you have lost elections, then you are raising questions on EVMs. When the world is lauding India, you are questioning the World Bank. Questions after questions. When anything good happens in our country then people will not forgive those raise fingers," the woman could be heard saying in the advertisement.
Apart from the 'Janta maaf nahi karegi' slogan, other catchy phrases used by the BJP during campaigning for the 2014 Lok Sabha polls were 'Acche din aane wale hain' (Good days are coming) and 'Ab ki baar Modi sarkar' (It is time for Modi government).
With electioneering in full swing, political parties including BJP and Congress are leaving no stones unturned to target their opponents and are campaigning on particular issues in a bid to woo the public ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.
Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh) [India], Apr 26 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said it is for the first time in the history of independent India that a pro-incumbency wave has enveloped the nation.

Gate City Bank is part of what report calls overdraft fee 'giants', but bank says picture is skewed
By Diane Kitchen
Aaron Klein, senior economic studies researcher for the Brookings Institution, wrote that "a few small banks have become overdraft giants" and cited Gate City Bank as one of six banks with deposits of $ 1 billion or more. who have earned at least half of their income net of overdraft fees.
Gate City Bank, headquartered in Fargo, drew 59% of its net income from overdraft fees in 2020, according to analysis from the Brookings Institution, a research and advocacy group.
In an opinion piece on his findings, Klein said there has been an "explosion" in overdraft fees that "makes basic banking expensive for people living paycheck to paycheck. ".
Kevin Hanson, president and CEO of Gate City Bank, said the bank's focus on consumer banking – and its lack of business loans, farm loans, and trust services offered by many other banks – skew the numbers, as much of its business comes from running checking and savings accounts.
"We're going to have a large amount (of overdraft fees) because we're a retail-focused bank," Hanson said. Gate City Bank, with 43 branches in North Dakota and Minnesota, has about 30% of the checking account market in North Dakota, which Hanson says is the largest share of all banks.
The fees that Gate City Bank customers most wanted to be forgiven, Hanson said, were ATM fees – the fees that Gate City does not charge its own customers and reimburses when they withdraw money at counters. automatic from other banks.
Since 2006, Gate City Bank has reimbursed more than $ 43 million to its customers for ATM fees they incurred at other banks' ATMs, Hanson said.
Many banks charge ATM fees, which Brookings' analysis does not note, he said. "They're just pulling out a number," he said
Gate City Bank checking account customers should opt for overdraft coverage. Those who do not opt for the cover risk having their purchase refused at checkout if they do not have sufficient funds to cover the purchase, Hanson said.
Since 2015, Gate City has charged an overdraft fee of $ 32, he said. Overdraft fees for banks in the region range from $ 30 to $ 36, he said.
To avoid overdrafts, bank customers can monitor their current account balances at their convenience through online banking, SMS banking, mobile banking and phone banking, all free of charge, said Hanson.
In addition, Gate City Bank will soon offer customers with overdraft protection the ability to automatically transfer money from their savings account to their checking account to avoid overdraft fees. "Our plan is to have this available later this year," said Hanson.
Overdraft protection is popular with customers, he said. "It is certainly more than half who opt," he said. "It's really the customer's choice.
Customers who do not opt for coverage may be embarrassed to be turned down. He gave the example of a motorist trying to refuel in cold weather; an overdraft charge is probably better, he said, than running out of gas in cold weather.
Last year, Gate City Bank generated interest income which accounted for 55% of income, Hanson said, compared to 13.4% for service fees, including overdraft fees, with mortgages contributing to 18 , 2%.
With deposits of $ 2.58 billion, Gate City Bank's overdraft charges totaled $ 19.69 million in 2020, according to reports compiled by iBanknet.
By comparison, Bell Bank had deposits of $ 8.59 billion and overdraft fees totaling $ 2.63 million in 2020, according to reports.
While deposits are a common indicator of the size of a bank's operations, Hanson said the mix of loans a bank makes better reflects how more or less overdraft it may be.
Almost half of Gate City's loans – 48.6% – are mortgages, which make up just 22.7% of Bell Bank's loan portfolio, according to bank reports. Commercial loans represent 21.3% of Bell Bank loans, compared to 4.4% for Gate City. Likewise, commercial real estate loans represent 20% of Bell Bank loans and 3% of Gate City loans.
"They're just really different business models," Hanson said.
Gate City Bank, in keeping with its mission as a community bank, does not focus on commercial lending or offer trust services, lines of business that do not incur overdraft fees and represent a plus. small proportion of income, said Hanson.
Because of its strong focus on checks, savings, and consumer and mortgage loans, Gate City Bank is similar to credit unions, which do not have to disclose their income from overdraft fees, Hanson said.
The average Gate City Bank checking account is almost 12 years old, indicating strong customer loyalty and satisfaction, Hanson said.
Klein of the Brookings Institution acknowledged that banks with deposits of less than $ 1 billion do not have to report their overdraft fees, so it is possible that smaller banks could be classified as "overdraft giants."
Federal banking regulators should crack down on overdraft fees, Klein argued in his Brookings Institution report and in a commentary recently published by Politico. Some banks are moving away from overdraft fees, he wrote, while other banks have announced exemptions from overdraft fees and insufficient funds during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Gate City Bank has given all of its customers full access to their pandemic relief checks, even if they had a negative account balance, said Amy Durbin, executive vice president of Gate City. Gate City also works with its struggling customers, sometimes contacting them proactively, she said.
Many large banks have high service charges that are not reflected in overdraft fee comparisons, Durbin said.
Research conducted in 2017 by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau found that those who overdraft their checking accounts frequently made up 9% of all accounts at the banks surveyed, but paid 79% of all overdrafts and underpayments.
Consulting firm OliverWyman released a report, "Beyond the Overdraft," concluding that the pandemic crisis is accelerating the need to replace what it calls an "obsolete product" – overhead charges, while acknowledging that it will be. a challenge for the banks.
Competitive forces are pushing consumers away from overdraft fees, with access to digital-only banks challenging traditional banks and a growing number of banks eliminating overdraft fees.
Yet, the OliverWyman report concedes, nearly 60% of mass market checking accounts generate insufficient deposit interest income and fees to cover all costs. But it describes strategies for eliminating overdraft fees.
Among the top 25 regional banks in the country, those with deposits of at least $ 1 billion, overdraft fees generated an average of 9% of net income before taxes, OliverWyman reported. Frequent overdrafts effectively "pay off" the 60% of mass-market checking accounts that don't generate enough interest or fee income to cover all of their costs, according to the report.

The unit is peak-adjustable for height between 71 and 91 inches to accommodate taller and shorter people and adjustability is also great for lower ceilings. It is not shipped assembled so you will need to put it together by the tools and instructions provided which are not very useful but is easy to assemble in less than an hour if you have the assembly experience with similar units.
Iron Jack appears to be the only one with chin-up adjustment so if you're tall and have low ceilings this will be very convenient to use. If you want to put it in your basement it will fit fine in small basements with low ceilings. It has a small footprint and does not occupy a lot of space, not super stable as it may wobble a little if you are heavier than say 200 pounds so it is not really commercial grade but good enough for home use: Good quality, multi-functional and user friendly. For the low price point it is nice and functional, well-designed and well-made enough and does the job for casual home gym use. You can strengthen and tone your biceps, triceps, back, chest and abs by different hand positions. You will be happy with this product as long as you don't have very high expectations, and if you do you really need to invest more money for a sturdier commercial gym level unit with extra bells and whistles and larger footprint for added stability. We don't have the information on warranty offered and you may contact the seller directly. Overall this is a decent multi-function workout station for the price for those that don't have a lot of time, energy or money for going to a gym regularly.


Eddie Albert was a male celebrity.
He was born on Sunday April 22nd 1906, in Rock Island, Illinois, United States.
Eddie Albert has the potential within him to become a spiritual teacher. The 33, like the 11 and the 22, is considered a Master number. However, as with all Master numbers, Eddie may or may not find the opportunity and inner resources to reach his full potential. If he does, Albert will be remembered for generations. If he does not, he will still have a strong, spiritually empowering influence on others. Eddie Albert must keep in mind, that spiritual does not always mean religious. Some of our most enlightened teachers never saw the inside of a temple or a church. In fact, most were considered heretics and unbelievers. The truth is that spiritual knowledge is an inner experience. An experience, which nonetheless can be visible to those around us. If Eddie knows this experience, he understands his path.
Eddie possesses great compassion and seeks to be of service to others. He has concern for the weak and the downtrodden. Albert is a healer and a helper to others. He is capable of giving comfort to those in need and will frequently offer a shoulder for others to cry on.
Eddie's task in life is to develop the tools necessary to be truly helpful to others, rather than to simply be a sympathetic ear. He must find the balance between help and interference. In the same way, Eddie Albert must learn the delicate art of the counselor who knows when to leave the struggle to others and when to avoid taking away the necessary experiences and lessons of life.
Albert is naturally balanced. Therefore, he is well equipped to support and ground others in times of trial.
It is in Albert's nature to take on responsibility - he often fill the void left by others - and does not turn away from personal sacrifice. At times, Eddie Albert may feel overburdened by the travails of others. However, the love others bestow upon him is his well deserved reward.
Eddie Albert is generous, kind, and attractive. He is often admired even adored, which baffles him. Eddie is humble and yet he carries a deep pride. He moves well and gracefully, but will have to work to stay in shape. Eddie Albert should seek out physical exercise and limit the sweets and dairy he craves to keep himself from becoming plump and round.
When young, Albert must be careful not to choose partners for the wrong reasons. He should not let sentimentality influence his decision, especially those involving the choice of a spouse. Eddie Albert needs to be needed, but must learn to discriminate between those he can help and others who are made weaker by his care. After all, it is in Eddie's nature to be attracted to the weaker brothers and sisters among us.
The temptation and the danger for Eddie Albert is to think of himself as the savior of the world, carrying the burdens of others on his shoulders.
Eddie is blessed with musical talent, as well as in the visual and performing arts. However, his creativity may well be suppressed due to his willingness to sacrifice, or his inability to fully appreciate his talents. This is not to say that Albert cannot excel in these areas; on the contrary, he has the talent, and with effort he can make a success in a number of artistic fields.
Eddie Albert also has enormous talent in business. He is blessed with a great deal of charm and charisma, which he uses effectively to attract the people and support he needs.
If ever there was a single moment of total transformation, it was actually the moment of Eddie Albert's birth. In that instant, Eddie stepped through a door in time into a new reality - the reality of human life. The most critical number in Albert's numerology chart is based on the date of his birth - the moment when the curtain went up in Eddie Albert's life.

Strategic alliances have become significantly common in business. However they are still notoriously difficult to pull off. This type of cooperation lies between mergers and acquisitions and organic growth. Strategic alliances occur when a couple of businesses join together to pursue mutual benefits.
I have provided some successful examples of strategic alliances between companies. Strategic partnerships can be extremely effective approach to build businesses.
Are Hindustan Unilever, Quality walls examples of strategic alliances?
