Chef Gavin Kaysen Coaches Bocuse d'Or 2015, the Culinary Olympics
Local boy makes good: Gavin Kaysen is coaching this year's Bocuse d'Or team. It's the culinary Olympics.
The training starts months in advance. Every two years, the world's finest chefs converge on Lyon, France, to duke it out in starched whites for the culinary equivalent of the Olympic gold medal. The training involves daily physical workouts, leaving home restaurants behind for weeks at a time, and living in Lyon to get accustomed to the culture, the language, even the weather.
Why bother? For winners, it can be life-changing. "It can mean everything for your career — the kinds of things you only dream about," says local chef célèbre Gavin Kaysen of Spoon and Stable. This year he'll be coaching the next Bocuse d'Or hopeful from the U.S.
Kaysen himself was the chosen chef (every country sets its own standards for how a chef gets selected; sometimes they compete for the honor, other times they compete to compete) to represent America in 2007. He didn't win — the French and the Scandinavians tend to do very well, the French having taken three of the last five titles, the others claimed by Denmark and Norway.
In fact, traditionally, America has not done well in the competition, despite our high quality of chefs and cuisine. The competition is televised all over Europe and is considered a spectator sport, yet Americans hardly register it.
Something needed to change, so in 2008 "Ment'or" was formed, a support system for competing chefs from the United States. With chef Daniel Boulud at the reins, support has taken the form of a house set aside next to the French Laundry specifically designed for training sessions, a storage space in Lyon with enough equipment to open a restaurant, and a scholarship fund.
Past competitors assist in coaching current ones. This year's competitor is Philip Tessier, executive sous chef of the French Laundry, along with his commis, or assistant Skylar Stover, chef de partie of the French Laundry.
Training and preparations are the stuff of real Olympians; for instance, when Kaysen learned that the protein he would be tasked with presenting was Bresse chicken, he was forced to move to Lyon to train. The product has appellation d'origine contrôlée status and could not be exported to the U.S. His commis had to come along, naturally, but could not afford to pay rent back home, so Kaysen paid him out of his own paycheck.
"You have to get up at the same time every day and do the same workout routine because it's very important for the physical stamina. During the competition you can't stop moving for five and a half hours. And, your body physically tastes things differently when you're under that much stress, so we literally have to weigh everything out, down to the salt and pepper."
Kaysen's team of co-coaches includes the heaviest hitters in the industry: Daniel Boulud, Thomas Keller, Grant Achatz of Alinea to name only a few.
This year's competition takes place on January 27 and 28, and Kaysen will be leaving his fledgling local restaurant, Spoon and Stable, behind for 10 days. Is he nervous? Not really. "There's 76 people who work in this restaurant and they are very competent. It's not just me."

Religious Conversion in the Greco-Roman Period: A Comparison of Jewish, Pagan and Christian Narratives

The following paper originates in a series of reflections on the phenomenon of religious conversion in antiquity and the processes which lead to the completion of the event. Conversion has often been studied as a single process of change, a process defined by Arthur D. Nock in 1933 as "the reorientation of the soul of an individual, his deliberate turning from indifference or from an earlier form of piety to another, a turning which implies a consciousness that a great change is involved, that the old was wrong and the new is right." Whether or not this definition is in line with contemporary notions of religious conversion, the idea that a conversion leads one away from the "wrong" and towards the "right" is a common feature to all of the narratives from the Greco-Roman period that will be considered in this study. Previous studies of religious conversion have used a number of disciplinary or inter-disciplinary approaches, usually from the fields of sociology, psychology, history, and anthropology. These studies have focused on several aspects of the conversion experience, including motivations of the person seeking to convert, the socio-political environments in which conversions take place, and thematic elements present in conversion narratives, to name a few. On the basis of these studies a few models have been proposed for understanding experiences of religious conversion.

So one Sunday he decided to attend services at a nearby church and talk to the minister about becoming a Christian. When he entered the sanctuary, however, the usher refused to give him a seat and suggested that he go worship with his own people. Gandhi left the church and never returned. "If Christians have caste differences also," he said, "I might as well remain a Hindu."
People are different. We are different in color, race, language, dialect, beliefs, habits and personality. These things along with a zillion other idiosyncrasies make each of us distinct individuals. Too often, it is our uniqueness that separates us. Others often think each person should give up their natural and acquired traits to become one of them. We are expected to camouflage ourselves by changing the way we walk, talk, look or act to blend in. If we refuse, we are ignored or harassed.
Voltaire said this kind of thinking is "An opinion without judgment." Leon Aikman said it is "Weighing the facts with your thumb on the scales." William Hazlitt said it is the "The child of ignorance." (Quoted from Roget's Super Thesaurus, pg. 445.) First century Christianity challenged believers to make a righteous judgment and not judge by appearances. (John 7:24) Christians are challenged to take their thumbs off the scales.
Larry D. Wright wrote, "Given half a chance, people often crawl out of the boxes into which we've relegated them."
"Dodie Gadient, a schoolteacher for thirteen years, decided to travel across America and see the sights she had taught about. Traveling alone in a truck with camper in tow, she launched out. One afternoon rounding a curve on I-5 near Sacramento in rush-hour traffic, a water pump blew on her truck. She was tired, exasperated, scared, and alone. In spite of the traffic jam she caused, no one seemed interested in helping.
"Leaning up against the trailer, she prayed, 'Please God, send me an angel . . . preferably one with mechanical experience.' Within four minutes, a huge Harley drove up, ridden by an enormous man sporting long, black hair, a beard and tattooed arms. With an incredible air of confidence, he jumped off and, without even glancing at Dodie, went to work on the truck. Within another few minutes, he flagged down a larger truck, attached a tow chain to the frame of the disabled Chevy, and whisked the whole 56-foot rig off the freeway onto a side street, where he calmly continued to work on the water pump.
The nature and design of Christianity is to allow Christ's teaching to unite God's people by overcoming these distinctive barriers. Jesus demonstrated how the basic truths of the gospel should unite us as God empowers us to overcome these man made barriers. He seemed to preach almost exclusively to those held back by the barriers of his culture. He did this as he went to saint and sinner.
No better example exists of how the church handled the problem of barriers than we find in the following verses.
These verses tell us little about church organization, but they speak volumes about solving real problems. Today our problems seem so minute compared to this problem. Churches today have signs saying "come as you are." I guess this is opposed to "come as you aren't." Other signs give a time for traditional worship and a time for contemporary worship. We all know what these signs mean: "We have designed a service specifically for you, so you want have to cross any of the barriers others or yourself have erected."
As you think about it, the signs point up the same problem that we see in Acts 6. It makes little difference whether it is doctrine or opinion, likes or dislikes, taste or distaste. It is basically the same problem. It is the problem of barriers separating God's people. So we shop for a church of our choice, a group we feel comfortable with, while deliberately overlooking those who are different or have made different choices.
A very important facet of Judaism had carried over into the church. It was the care and concern for the needy. The Jews of Judaism sent two collectors around to private houses every Friday morning to make a collection for the needy. Those who were temporarily in need would receive enough to carry on from the collection. The permanently disabled would receive enough money for fourteen meals. That was enough for one week until the collection was made the next week. It is clear the church had taken up this custom.
Not only was the concern for the needy carried over from Judaism but also the contempt between Jews who spoke different languages. The consequence was that the Aramaic-speaking Jews looked down on and despised the foreign Jews. This contempt found its way into the decisions being made to take care of the needy.
Nothing is worse than being overlooked. There are different types of overlooking. Inadvertently, people are overlooked, unthinkingly others are overlooked, but the worse kind of overlooked is deliberated, premeditated and planned. Those overlooked always know the difference. It was Grecian Jews vs. Hebraic Jews. The deliberation is certain.
Our world thrives on living with the effects of problems without affecting the cause. So much personal counseling falls on deaf ears because those counseled desire to deal with the effects of their problems rather than the cause. To begin life anew, we must discover Christian principles designed to remove the cause, not just the effects.
The barriers we seek to remove are not external. They are barriers erected within our own hearts and minds. The external evidence that exists is just as real as Hebraic Jews vs. Grecian Jews, formal vs. informal, traditional vs. contemporary, doctrine vs. opinion. All the evidence points to the same problem. The problem of striving to live with the results of our problems without dealing with the basic cause of our problems. This dilemma is as old as creation and as real as the present. It is refusing to recognize the real problem. We had rather deal with the effects than the problem. With the slyness of a fox it always manifest itself differently but the problem is as ageless as the ages; it is the problem of sin, which seeks to divide and conquer.
Living in denial that a problem is real won't solve it. The first century church faced their problem head on. They didn't see the problem as superficial or artificial. There is no cosmetic treatment to remove the effects of the problem without dealing with the cause. They didn't opt to form a Greek speaking church and a Hebrew speaking church. The message of Christ aimed at recognizing and solving the problem. For Christianity to truly work, the gospel message must be allowed to remove the barriers. How else can we become one in Christ?
The concern of the first church was to put its Christianity into practical action. Florence Alshorn, the great missionary teacher, once said, "An ideal is not yours until it comes out of your finger tips." As the gospel spread throughout Jerusalem and the surrounding area, the disciples began to encounter the problems always confronting growth. That is, the practical application of the gospel message. The growth of the church compelled them to confront the debilitating barriers.
The book of Acts depicts the gospel spreading through the first century world removing the man-made barriers of race, circumcision, animosity, hatred and strife to bring all together in Christ.
The first church was convicted of its need of God's help to rise above the barriers threatening to halt and stifle the spread of the gospel. Their willingness to allow the apostles to lay their hands upon them evidenced their conviction.
They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit; also Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism. They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them.
They understood their need to be filled with the Spirit. It wasn't an option but a necessity. Being filled with the Spirit was more real than an emotional response. We love excitement but what we need is wisdom to recognize our problems and God's power to solve them.
Herbert Vander Lugt writes: "I heard about a man who, in a rousing service, prayed, 'Lord, come down through the roof. I'll pay for the shingles.' When I was a boy, I liked that story because I wished that the church services I attended could have been more exciting. As I grew older, however, I realized that genuine Pentecostal power produces something deeper than mere excitement. Great things happened on that Sunday when the disciples were 'filled with the Holy Spirit.' God desires that all Christians be filled with the Spirit. It's not an option. It should be the norm for every member of Christ's body."
Many of our studies in the above verses have gone into how to sing and what should accompany the singing, but the emphasizes is on why we are singing. We sing because we are filled with the Spirit. Spirit filled Christians find answers to problems. Problems such as being drunk on spirits vs. being filled with the Spirit of God. When God's Spirit guides us to find solutions to our problems, then we really have something to speak to one another about in song!
So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said, "It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables. Brothers, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word." This proposal pleased the whole group.
God is not willing to instruct us in the Word without giving us the wisdom of the Spirit to use it skillfully and discerningly. James reminds us to pray for wisdom when we lack it. (James 1:5) Real problem solving occurs when those full of the Spirit of God and those desiring to be Spirit filled seek the wisdom of God to discover a solution. The problem wasn't left in the hands of those ministering the word. It was left in the hands of those filled by the ministry of the Word. Those filling hearts with the Word are enabling those being filled with the Spirit's message and the Spirit's life to find real solutions to their problems. It is sad when those ministering the Word are left to solve the problems themselves. A knowledge of the Scriptures without God's wisdom to use it skillfully is debilitating.
Farmer Johnson smiled as he proudly strolled out of the hardware store with a brand-new chainsaw that was guaranteed to cut five big oak trees an hour. Twenty-four hours later, however, his smile was gone. With obvious frustration, Johnson was back at the store complaining that the saw would never cut five trees an hour. "Why, it only cut five trees all day long!" he said. Somewhat puzzled, the storeowner stepped outside with the saw, gave the cord a rip, and fired up the steel-toothed beast. The deafening roar of the saw startled Johnson so badly that he stumbled trying to get away. "What's that noise?" he gasped.
Johnson's mistake in cutting down trees without starting up the chainsaw is similar to our foolishness when we try to follow Christ in our own strength devoid of the wisdom of the Spirit. We get frustrated and spiritually exhausted when we try to make life work on our terms. Only Spirit-guided wisdom makes the Word effective in the problem solving area.
The prime cause of problems is solutions. Often, we fail to see the potential in our difficulties. The apostle's defenseless response demonstrate the potential they saw in the problem. It was an opportunity for the Spirit's teaching to become practical in a real life experience. Wisdom is discovered through the problems encountered. It was a golden opportunity for the Spirit to manifest God's power and wisdom to overcome the barriers erected by Satan.
Notice the result of meeting and solving problems in the power of the Spirit.
When Spirit guided Christians of the first century faced their problems; they were able to discover the way out, around and over threatening difficulties. Why should it be any different today?
For centuries people believed that Aristotle was right when he said that the heavier an object, the faster it would fall to earth. Aristotle was regarded as the greatest thinker of all time, and surely he would not be wrong. Anyone, of course, could have taken two objects; one heavy and one light, and dropped them from a great height to see whether or not the heavier object landed first. But no one did until nearly 2,000 years after Aristotle's death. In 1589, Galileo summoned learned professors to the base of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Then he went to the top and pushed off a ten-pound and a one-pound weight. Both landed at the same instant.
The power of belief was so strong, however, that the professors denied their eyesight. They continued to say Aristotle was right. -- Bits & Pieces, January 9, 1992, pp. 22,23.
Let us make sure that we don't overlook our problems because we are bent on overlooking the solution.

Former journalist-turned-author Jeff Holmes, has claimed on his personal Twitter account that a deal was done and there would be add ons for playing in the Champions League as part of the deal.
Friend of mine is connected to Brighton and insists Connor Goldson is done deal. CL add ons etc.
I'm told he will be massive in the SPL and only Dunk & Duffy were keeping him out of Seagulls first team.
Lots of Ch'ship teams wanted him but Gerrard factor was clincher.
The Gers have already signed Scott Arfield, Allan McGregor and Jamie Murphy so far this summer as Gerrard's Ibro revolution takes shape and the addition of Goldson will be a welcome one.
Reports earlier on Wednesday had claimed that a fee had been agreed but the Gers and Goldson had yet to discuss personal terms.
If the claims a deal is done are true then it is a good bit of business by the Gers. Gerrard's side needs quality defenders in and Goldson should fit the bill perfectly for them. At 25, the defender is just coming to the peak of his career and the chance to play regular first-team football will be welcomed by Goldson. Gerrard could do with at least one more central defender this summer – maybe even two – as he rebuilds the squad he inherited. Goldson should be a big part of Gerrard's side going forward and he should handle the transition to the Scottish Premiership well. Despite taking a bit of time to get a deal over the line, with the Gers not returning to training until June 15th, there's still a little time to play with and bring recruits in before work starts again. If there are additional fees in the deal for reaching the Champions League then there won't be a Rangers fan around who will be disappointed if it is triggered and forces the Gers to cough up a bit more.


To family historians — who've been inundated lately with genetic genealogy tools — the birth of another DNA Web site might not seem like news. Especially when the site is an offspring of the Sorensons: The family's backing has already spawned the nonprofit Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation (SMGF) <www.smgf.org> — whose free database contains 70,000 DNA samples tied to participants' family trees-and Sorenson Genomics, the lab that provides testing services for Ancestry.com <dna.ancestry.com>.
So what's different about GeneTree <www.genetree.com>? The Sorensons' latest venture integrates DNA testing with another hot family history trend: social networking. GeneTree draws on Sorenson Genomics' testing services, information in SMGF's database and sister company Sorenson Media's Web technology to create a tool ABC's "Nightline" described as a "DNA Facebook" (referring to the popular <www.facebook.com>).
Whether or not you buy a DNA test, you can use the social networking features for free. After signing in and creating a password, you set up your profile page with name, nickname, birthplace and hometown. Entering seven generations of my family tree took just minutes — it was easy to respond to the site's prompts. Each relative you add gets his or her own profile page, where you can add pictures, documents, video and additional details.
Just as Facebook users can restrict their profiles so only confirmed "friends" can view them, you must give others permission to see or add to your GeneTree profile.
If you decide to get a DNA test, your GeneTree account will include your genetic genealogy profile. GeneTree's testing process is similar to other companies'. You order a mitochondria1 DNA (mtDNA) testing kit — the $99 test analyzes 400 markers; the $149 test, 1,200 — take a sample and mail it back for analysis.
Within three to four weeks, you'll get your results, which reveal your haplogroup — your ancient ancestors' genetic group — and the region where your maternal line originated. To determine this, the company compares your markers to samples it's collected from people in 170 countries.
Turns out I belong to the rare and scattered haplogroup K. GeneTree's interactive DNAvigator tool mapped K's migration pattern, putting its origin 30,000 to 35,000 years ago in what's now Turkey. It was astonishing to see the animated map "migrate" my haplogroup to the region I knew my ancestors had lived in.
Although my genealogical paper trail led me to believe I'd see strictly Eastern European results, my results indicate I'm also Scandinavian, Northern Italian, French, Irish and perhaps Ashkenazi Jewish. I also got 11 pages of connections: people who exactly match or nearly match my maternal DNA signature.
If you're considering a DNA analysis, keep in mind that the mtDNA tests Gene Tree offers can tell you only about the deep ancestry of your direct maternal line — your relation to others in your haplogroup may be too distant to be genealogically useful. For example, I didn't recognize any of my known ancestral surnames among the connections GeneTree turned up.
I'd like to see the results get more specific, which should happen as the database grows and GeneTree starts offering Y-chromosome (paternal line) tests. Even without the immediate surname connections I'd hoped my results would include, the process provided me with specific places to direct my future research and expanded my perception of my heritage.

Why Aren't Managers Shifting from Hiring to Training?
The ever-widening skill gap in the IT and IT-enabled enterprises could cascade into a global crisis if managers do not take this call soon
CXOtoday News Desk 7 months ago June 21, 2022
Experts have repeatedly reiterated the broadening skills gap and how it could result in the top-1000 enterprises in the world cornering the best and those immediately after, leaving the rest of the field gasping for the talent required to spur operational efficiencies and growth.
It is an open secret that MSMEs in India are the worst hit when it comes to talent acquisition, both at the campus recruitment stage as well as through an employee's lifecycle. The best talent gets sucked out directly from campuses and those in queue immediately thereafter get pulled out post a couple of years in their first jobs.
And, if this isn't enough, the SMBs have a grouse against their larger counterparts, who seldom think twice before poaching good and trained hands from these small enterprises by offering a better pay package. All of this brings us to the question of how and where can managers begin to fix this issue?
The traditional approach
The traditional approach at filling gaps is losing effectiveness. A McKinsey study conducted prior to the pandemic-led lockdowns said nine out of ten executives and managers said their organizations either face skill gaps already or expect them to develop over the next five years. But, the catch is that respondents felt their companies do consider it a priority but most have little understanding on how to equip themselves with workforce skills they will need most.
The modus operandi in vogue among enterprises to build that super tech team is to hire developers, cloud specialists and cybersecurity experts through the direct hiring route. While this may work in tenured and large enterprises with big pockets, the process hasn't succeeded at all with others. In fact, TCS added over 35,000 employees in a single quarter to counter the high rate of attrition they witnessed in 2022. The same was the case with Infosys.
Hitting the wrong buttons
A recent report said 40% of tech employees claimed that lack of growth room caused them to quit their jobs and most claimed that acquisition of skills were also curtailed. In fact, 87% of the 7000 respondents contacted for the Pluralsight State of Upskilling 2022 said they actually wanted to improve their technical skills.
If this isn't an opportunity for employers to secure their teams and keep salary costs in check, what is? The report highlighted that skills not only help people stay, but also aids them in thriving in their roles while ensuring that organizational objectives continue to be delivered seamlessly.
However, there is a fly in the ointment. The same survey also claimed that over 60% of the respondents felt that they were too busy with their daily chores to be able to dedicate time for any upskilling. And this is where managers and executives perhaps could play a more important role than to just send out job descriptions to the HR when a team member wants to sign out.
There are tangible benefits
The upskilling and training programs for existing staff brings clear benefits to the organization. The first of them is that it helps employers bridge the shortages in their teams. And on the other hand it also ensures that team members with the additional skills feel confident of career progression, a crucial factor that they consider while weighing external opportunities.
The lack of time for skilling that employees speak about also indicates a shortage of staff or of the right skills. Which is probably why employees find themselves stretching to cover for their daily operations. Of course, the continuously declining L&D budgets is what managers refer to when asked why they rather hire afresh than retrain or upskill existing staff.
This appears a facetious argument at best, given that companies often throw extra dollars to get fresh hires, apart from the cost that gets added for onboarding new staff in terms of induction and training on the job.
In fact, the Pluralsight survey claims a fifth of the respondents felt their company went for fresh hiring over upskilling, with the same number suggesting that employers seldom supported those who were inclined to upskill. What's more, the managers (27%) blamed their bosses for this state of affairs.
A continuous churn in the resources does carry a heavy cost for the enterprise in terms of fulfilling its customer objectives and also skews up the entire employment and skill ecosystem where those who can afford new hires face attrition and those who cannot seldom get any talent coming their way.
If continuous upskilling becomes the norm rather than an exception, employees will feel more comfortable staying put in an environment they know and keep adding skills. And in doing so, the larger enterprises leave at least a decent chunk of good resources for their comparatively poorer cousins in the industry.

Blatantly Biased Conservatism (BBC)
Labour has lodged a formal complaint with the BBC and demanded an on-air apology over the treatment of shadow home secretary Diane Abbott by new Question Time presenter, Fiona Bruce. During last week's QT, Bruce repeatedly interrupted Abbot, very significantly more than she did any other guest, as well as wrongly backing claims by the panellist Isabel Oakeshott that the Conservatives were leading in the polls. There is also an accusation that, during the 'warm-up'. Bruce apparently mocked Abbott with inappropriate and unpleasant remarks which are said to have 'wound-up' audience hostility towards her.
Whilst the BBC has acknowledged Bruce's error about the polls, they have said that the claims about the 'warm-up' remarks were inaccurate and misleading. They also reject claims that Abbot was treated unfairly.
Abbott has commented that the BBC response was not good enough, adding, "Fiona Bruce was clearly repeating Tory propaganda that Labour were behind in the polls. If she had said behind in one poll, that would have been a different matter. This is not an apology and does not address all of the issues that have been raised."
In the meantime, social media is alive with alternative acronyms for BBC, for example, Blatantly Backing Conservatives, Britains Bully Clique, Busy Building Conservatism, Boring British Channel.

The enthusiasts of sailing from all around the planet show continuously increasing interest in the so-called "junk", or Chinese, rig. The reason for this is that the rig is much safer and easier for handling. This is particularly truth for smaller crafts and for family/short-handed sailing in open sea and in different weather conditions.
The content of this volume is mainly intended to provide interested readers with a sort of primer book giving them all required and detailed information about the rig. The authors of the book have described the whole process of designing a rig, rigging a boat and sailing.
The volume has been prepared in such way that makes it equally useful for both amateur and professional boat designers. The content is arranged in three major parts. While the first part is focusing on the Chinese rig, the second part of the book is dealing with the rig design.
Finally, the third part provides practical instructions on using the rig. There is some additional information provided in the appendices. This is definitely one of the best volumes on the junk rig reflecting the huge practical experience of the authors. Absolutely recommended publication to all boat owners and designers who will find lots of useful stuff inside.
A perfect textbook for those interested in singlehanded sailing. The volume has gained worldwide popularity and is deservedly treated as a bible for the future sailors. It is an essential guidebook of the solo sailing providing all required information for people planning to undertake such voyage. The readers will find valuable instructions on how they shall manage the power consumption on board their boats when feeding the autopilot, how to deal with the heavy weather conditions, how to set and gybe a spinnaker, how to find some time to sleep etc.

The style used by the author of the book is refreshing. Most of the readers have strongly recommended this book to others. Sailors who have read it will enjoy sailing even more and the content of the volume will for sure be responsible for saving them from any sort of injury.
That is why we would say that it is a must-have one. Note that there are not too many books available for the solo sailors to get necessary information. And the tips provided in the pages of this title will definitely shave many hours for those needing the information and not willing to re-invent the wheel. All information is resented in a very clear language.
The publication is an excellent reference book that has already proven valuable for all sailors who follow the RYA course. The content of this respected and worldwide recognized practical guidebook is covering literally whole syllabus of the coastal skipper/yachtmaster course in details and is perfectly illustrated with numerous color photographs and charts. The book is full of examples included for better understanding and easier following. The publication opens with the intro showing the RYA cruising scheme followed by the general information.
The main part of the publication is arranged in nineteen sections dealing with charts and positions, navigational equipment, electronics on board, tidal heights and streams, position finding techniques, estimated position and course to steer, pilotage and signposts, weather aspects, passage planning, safety and survival issues; in addition, the author addressed anchoring and mooring techniques together with the berthing, hitches and bends, and communication related matters, including GMDSS and distress signals.
The answers to all questions have also been provided. The Glossary of sailing terms is included for ready reference. Four appendices provide information on recommended equipment including medical items, safety checksheet and theory syllabus.
This book is devoted to sailing and provides readers with the information and necessary professional guidance to the sails and sail technology also covering the performance matters. The content is presented in a very concise way though it is quite comprehensive and the text part is supplemented by the numerous personal anecdotes and informative photo making the learning process not only easy but sometimes even funny.

The book is considered a best choice for the newcomers o sailing but will also be useful to the experienced sailors.
This book contains the results of the years job performed by the sailing experts through their sailing program. Second, one of their excellent licensed and certified instructors explains sailing in a series of classroom sessions to reinforce the book. Most important, the new sailor sets sail for comprehensive sessions on the Colgate 26 sailboat, which was designed by Steve specifically for sail training.
The trainees who have completed the course sail without an instructor, gaining the confidence that comes from handling a 26-foot sailboat with other new sailors.

Learn it right the first time and you will see that the rewards are incredible—and this book teaches it right.

The book is recommended to the people who like sailing yachts and want to know how they are designed. The readers who have already tried this book liked how the authors explained the different design choices using numerous general and specific examples. It is a really outstanding volume for the persons willing to get a deep practical understanding of the contemporary yacht design.
The broad experience of the author has allowed him to prepare an excellent book featuring concise and clear text covering all important aspects. The volume has been organized in quite interesting way and includes several complementary chapters dealing with the design principles. This book shall be treated as the best guide for the beginner yacht designers. There are numerous line drawings that will be appreciated by the newcomers to the world of yacht design who will refer to subject drawings for identification of the shapes making fast performance of the yachts.
The volume will provide all technical information that commonly has to be researched in the books on naval architecture. The interesting prose by Bob Perry will make the learning process much easier and makes this book vital for the designers.

I need to make the referrer and query string informations of mydomain.com, available to the javascript code that runs inside the frame, so I can understand how people reach this website.
Is there a way to circumvent cross domain restrictions?
Thanks.

A:
Is there a way to circumvent cross domain restrictions?

No. The data has to be passed explicitly.
The frameset page could include the data in the query string of the URI used to load the embedded page … but I'm guessing that this is domain hosting for the DNS server deprived and that that isn't an option.

St. Cloud, Minnesota Enjoys Vibrancy of Diversity (I. E. Nine Stabbed By Somali Immigrant)
I can recall reading a few decades ago that St. Cloud, Minnesota, a small city 66 miles northwest of Minneapolis, then had the lowest crime rate in the U.S.. But St. Cloud is putting its hateful white-bread, plain vanilla past behind it.
From CNN:
ISIS wing claims responsibility for Minnesota mall attack
By Chandrika Narayan and Steve Visser, CNN Updated 9:11 PM ET, Sun September 18, 2016
The man who stabbed nine people at a Minnesota mall Saturday before being shot dead by an off-duty police officer was a "soldier of the Islamic state," according to an ISIS-linked news agency….
Fortunately, the Frontlash has gone into action:
Community leaders fear anti-Muslim backlash, call for unity
In response to local reports identifying the attacker as being of Somali descent, members of the Muslim and Somali communities held a news conference Sunday expressing their grief for the victims and calling for unity.
"We are also concerned about the potential backlash," said Jaylani Hussein, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) chapter in Minnesota. "We understand in St. Cloud there is more anti-Muslim organizing and we hope they do not use this incident to divide … our community."

Although cryptocurrencies and their linked blockchain technologies have created a reputation for transactional security and privacy, in today's world unfortunately nothing is 100% safe from hackers.
In one example only a few months ago, a cyberthief swindled investors out of seven million dollars- by hacking a virtual currency trading platform during its Initial Coin Offering and inserting a malicious address, where digital investors were duped into sending their funds.
Now, while cybersecurity may cause the alarm bells to ring for some investors… it's actually one of the last things they should be worrying about- thanks to the inception of a tailored partnership between Hacken – one of the latest and most advanced bug bounty testing services, and Neuromation.io.
"Currently, there are no bug bounty programs or vulnerability discovery providers in the world that provide a custom-tailored service like this for blockchain startups. Hacken specializes in auditing the cybersecurity of blockchain projects, keeping investors' money safe and hackers at bay. The audits conducted by Hacken will go a long way in helping Neuromation.io to better understand cybersecurity risks and take appropriate measures to mitigate them, giving investors peace of mind in knowing that their funds are safe".
Neuromation's own Neurotoken is about to go on sale, designed for sophisticated crypto-investors who are interested in participation at discounted token value. Tokens issued during the pre-ICO phase will be offered with a 25 per cent discount. This emission strategy is designed to maximize investment returns for individuals and entities who have early commitments to the project.
Neuromation will announce the pre-sale of its own Neurotoken on October, 25th.

MCN scores ASTRA for innovative media first

Heineken's Rugby World Cup "Live Kick" app claims gong
March 23rd, 2012:� The ASTRA Industry Excellence Awards held last night saw Multi Channel Network (MCN) take home the gong for� Most Outstanding Use of STV for a Consumer Advertising Campaign for its innovative work with Heineken during Rugby World Cup 2011.
As a global partner of the Rugby World Cup since 1995 and a broadcast sponsor of the tournament, Heineken challenged MCN to position the premium beer brand as an integral part of the tournament experience.
With the insight that rugby union fans' passion for the game is surpassed only by their support for national teams, MCN and Heineken's digital marketing agency Holler Sydney developed a media first – the Heineken Live Kick iPhone and iPad app.
Anthony Fitzgerald, Multi Channel Network CEO, said: "FOX SPORTS presented us with the perfect media platform to develop the Live Kick app. It was the only channel to cover all 48 games live and uninterrupted in HD, as well as providing 'around the game' coverage including historic matches, rugby magazine-style shows, interviews and results.
"FOX SPORTS is also the only sports publisher in Australia with a dedicated in-house stats division which allows it to broadcast its own statistics live as a match progresses. With this in mind, we identified a great opportunity to take the match from the TV screen and place it interactively in the hands of Heineken's target market of 18-to-39 males.
"As a media first, Live Kick became the 'must have' app of the tournament, taking users out of the audience and placing them in the centre of the playing field."
The app used FOX SPORTS' live match data to replicate the exact position of a rugby ball prior to a kick being taken and allowed the user to simultaneously take the same kick live on their mobile phone. The app also relayed real-time news, stats and results and incorporated GPS tracking to tell users where their nearest Heineken Clubhouse was located.
The Live Kick app achieved 51,139 downloads and a 4.5/5 star rating in the Apple App Store. Around 10.3 million kicks were taken in the training challenge; while there were over 244,000 live kicks taken during the tournament and over two million replay kicks.
Nada Steel, Heineken Lion Australia Marketing Manager said: "This MCN activation was a fantastic platform that helped us make fans part of the Rugby World Cup experience regardless of whether they were at home, in the bar or at the game."
The annual ASTRA awards, which recognises excellence in the promotion and innovation of Subscription TV, was held last night at the Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre.
MCN was also a finalist in the� Most Outstanding Use of STV for a Consumer Advertising Campaign� category for its work on the launch of the FJ Cruiser which saw Toyota commission its first ever long-form content.

This mini project in C school billing system was developed by me and my friend for project submission during the 1st semester. In this project, you perform billing or accounting operations under two account types: one for the students and one for teachers and staffs.
This project is complete and totally error-free. It utilizes file handling and data structures, and is one of the best C mini projects that will help you understand and learn whatever you need to know about developing small C projects.
School Billing System is a console application without graphic. It is compiled in Code::Blocks with gcc compiler. The source code for this project is over 1000 lines, so I didn't want to display the source code here. You can directly download the source code plus application file of mini project on school billing system from the link below.
In this project, you can add, record, modify, search and delete the records of both account types. In addition to that, this mini project in C allows you to display fees, dues, total and advance of students, and salary-related information of teachers and staffs.
For the entry of records, current date and month is asked. Then, you can select the account type, and perform billing operations like I mentioned above. In the add record, the name, class and roll no. of the student is asked, and it is similar for all other functions as well as the teachers account.
I have used the different functions for performing different billing operations in School Billing System. Listed below are some functions which will give you an outline of the project and help you understand it better.
This mini project on school billing system in C utilizes file handling in three of the functions mentioned above in the post: delrec(), fee() and salary(). Go through the source code once, and it may guide you to create a better mini project using file handling for other functions as well. Using/submitting this project with little or no modification at all is completely discouraged.
ell, I have a question, since I'm a beginner in coding. I want to have a little modification to you program, depending on my need, which programming lge you build this application with?
There is a download link for the source code – below the second paragraph.


An idea makes the prospect of owning a business and running it, sound exciting. But it's only when the first step is taken that the reality unfolds. It's not all fun and games; it's hard work, management, persistence, and much more. It's dealing with cash, HR, sales, goals. More often than not, people are unable to predict the exact amount of investment that needs to be poured. And when we say investment, it's not just the funds we're talking about.
It's time, efforts, skills, and an amalgam of innumerable factors. Like a marriage, a business needs to have passion, loyalty, willingness, compromise, and sacrifice involved. Otherwise, it can backfire and the 9 to 5 job that you left so confidently can become a need. That said, here is a list of seven things you need to know before starting your journey to entrepreneurship.
Passion is the fuel for success. Most people when they begin, make the mistake of only looking at the numbers. That never works. When working for a job that you don't like, you're more likely to perform poorly despite being a knowledgeable and skilled individual. Same applies to business. Make sure that you work on what you love. That will keep you going even on the most challenging days.
However, here another aspect jumps into the frame too. Because you can't entirely ignore the fact that your idea must be profitable. That said, make sure you mould your passion into an idea that would bring in profits, and that would do well in the business world.
Arrogance doesn't help. Sure, you're the boss but that doesn't mean that rules don't apply to you. In fact, as the head, the most rules apply to you. Some say leadership comes naturally. Sure, a bit of it does but not the entirety of it. Leadership is learned and passed on from one leader to another potential leader. It is also earned; make yourself worthy of it.
Fine leaders know how to communicate with each of their employees and know whom they can rely on. They don't just give orders, they make sure each order is followed. Even if you do keep a manager and have a good number of employees, when just starting, you must have eyes everywhere. Be an example in everything you do; your employees will follow suit.
All is decided and you've your plan chalked out on a board. Now comes the time for deciding the name of the business. Perhaps you have a name already in mind, but is it strong, catchy and unique? Here's how a strong business name is important for the success of your business. It might seem like keeping a name for your start-up would be the easiest step but what if someone has already used up that name? Would your business eventually have an online presence?
The name you go for shall have an available trademark otherwise it can put your entire business at risk. Also, it shall be an available Internet domain name too. So, do a proper online trademark search. An online business name generator can help too without you having to ponder too much.
You will end up seeing your budding empire to dust if you don't get the law. Sharpen and deepen your understanding of legal procedures, rules and regulations, taxes and licenses. What documents will you have to submit, which will you have to obtain, what payments need to be made? There is a lot to consider. Get in touch with a lawyer and make sure your business is a building that is in accordance with the law.
Remember, correctly prioritizing and strategizing, is what makes a great businessman. Start from the bottom. Know which target audience your idea serves. Is this the audience you want to target? Your audience must not be too wide or too narrow. Also, you must know your market and your competition. Only then can you eventually get ahead of them.
Plan something unique about your business. Only then can you stand out. Don't spend too much even if success comes fast. Don't be miserly and spend too less either. Your expenditure must be wise. Also, learn the basics of accounting; your mind must be swift with managing cashflow. Make a plan and go stepwise.
Every entrepreneur has a different definition of growth and success. Define these terms for yourself. Is growth to you an increase in numbers or is it steadiness? Is it to be good enough or to be the best? Is success more sales, or more saving? Does reputation count and how much does it? How important are customer service, exposure, employee management, and repeat customers?
Also, what is failure to you? Know that ups and downs are a part of every business. You have to be persistent and optimistic but along with being realistic. Don't set your expectations and goals too high. To be a wise businessman is to stay focused and keep trying but know when it is time to give up and start anew.
When it comes to business, whether you're just starting out or whether you've managed to grow it, no amount of knowledge is ever enough. Keep reading, don't miss a thing. Make an idea that follows your passion only then will success follow. Never be overconfident and never be a pessimist either. Learn each field and plan each detail. Timing matters; know when to start, pause, and stop.


One of the core elements of our mission is redefining the meaning of the word learning. Without a new and more encompassing understanding of learning we can't progress to make the other key distinctions (healthy-unhealthy, natural-unnatural, etc.) which are the foundational elements in the case for 'stewarding the health of our children's learning'.
Who are you other than who you have learned to be?
What can you say about yourself that is completely unaffected by learning?
Please comment on this post and share your responses to the question. Let's use the question as a rabbit-hole for exploring the role of learning in our lives.

A new posthumous Pop Smoke single, "AP," has been released.
The late rapper is in fine form on the track, which was produced by Pop's close collaborators 808Melo and Rico Beats and boasts the booming bass and drill synths that Pop flowed best over when he was alive.
"AP" will appear on the soundtrack of the film Boogie, Eddie Huang's directorial debut that will also star Pop in his first and only film role. A trailer, released in January, showed Pop, as the antagonist Monk, face off against main character Alfred "Boogie" Chin (played by Taylor Takahashi) on the basketball court.
"AP" is the latest posthumous Pop Smoke track to be released this year, and comes nearly a year after Pop's fatal shooting in the Hollywood Hills. Last July, the rapper's team gave his debut album Shoot for the Stars Aim for the Moon a posthumous release. Its deluxe edition, also released in July, stands at a total of 34 tracks.
Watch the lyric video for "AP," which features footage from the movie with Pop, as well as behind-the-scenes photos:
