Grooming for Success "Looking attractive in any situation is an advantage in almost any situation."
You are in the company of VIP guests at a posh five-star restaurant. You panic, a million questions rush to your mind: Am I dressed right? Will I remember which fork to use for the salad and appetiser? What should I say and how should I say it? Should I smile without showing teeth or just a little?
Image is a powerful tool and projecting the RIGHT kind of image, be it personal or corporate, is vital for success.
According to Dolly Kee, director and principal consultant of Image Power, in a corporate environment, your image can give you the competitive edge that is crucial in ensuring success. "People who are skilful in making good impressions generally command a higher degree of personal power, trust and credibility."
"Another vital factor is knowing how to handle yourself properly in your daily interactions with other people - this can help you achieve greater interpersonal impact. Ignoring these essential fundamentals of business etiquette and protocol could lead to unintentional offence and embarrassment," Kee said.
Some elements that affect your image include non-verbal signals such as your physical appearance, voice, facial expression, dressing and mannerisms.
Kee's company, Image Power, conducts custom designed workshops and modules on a personal and interactive basis. At the moment, she is conducting 3 modules : Grooming For Success, Professional Etiquette and Fine Dining at Carcosa Seri Negara.
Under the Grooming For Success module, participants will learn the importance and impact of conscientious grooming, good business dress sense, body language as well as visual poise and deportment. According to Kee, looking attractive in any situation is an advantage. "An improved image means an improved self-image and this will boost your self-esteem and make you feel better, more confident and self-assured," Kee said.
Under the Professional Etiquette module, participants learn the finer points of good manners, business etiquette vs social etiquette, greetings and introductions and the proper use of cutlery and crockery.
The Fine Dining module will guide participants through a 3-course lunch session. "This particular module is conducted at Carcosa Seri Negara so participants can have a feel of the surroundings, " Kee explained. "In fact, this module usually ends up as a very fun practical session as it involves role play and learning by experience."
Participants emerge from Kee's workshops with improved skills of communicating more effectively through their image tangibles, projecting greater poise and personal confidence in dealing with people at all levels.
The Grooming For Success, Professional Etiquette and Fine Dining modules comprise a one-day workshop; however, participants may choose to do any one module or even all three.
Your professional image is the pre-requisite for success.

SF City Attorney: Same Sex Marriages Could Resume As Soon As July
Dennis Herrera Prop 8 same-sex marriage US Supreme Court by Bay City News | June 12, 2013 11:53 pm	| in City Hall | 0
The U.S. Supreme Court's forthcoming ruling on Proposition 8, California's ban on same-sex marriage, could follow any of at least half a dozen complex scenarios.
The high court decision is expected sometime before the close of the court's current term at the end of this month.
One scenario is that the panel would uphold the 2008 voter initiative restricting marriage in California to the union of a man and a woman.
In that outcome, a court majority could agree with Proposition 8 sponsors' claim that state voters had the right to conclude the ban would "increase the likelihood that children will be born and raised in stable and enduring family units by their own mothers and fathers."
On the other side, there are at least five ways that the high court could invalidate Proposition 8, for reasons related either to the merits of the arguments or to court procedures.
Related: With Prop 8 Decision Days Away, County Clerks Gearing Up For Possible Flood Of Same Sex Marriages
In any of those scenarios, an urgent question for county clerks' offices and couples seeking to marry would be how soon same-sex weddings might resume in California.
San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera answered that question today in a formal memorandum to the county clerk's and assessor-recorder's offices, which license and register marriages.
The most likely time that gay and lesbian weddings could resume would be sometime between the middle and end of July, Herrera said.
"You should be prepared to issue licenses to same-sex couples in mid-to-late July" if Proposition 8 is taken off the books, he advised the city officials.
Herrera wrote that the time estimate includes a 25-day period in which a losing party can ask the U.S. Supreme Court to reconsider a case, plus an additional several days for the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco to resume jurisdiction over the case.
In previous rulings, both the appeals court and a federal trial judge in San Francisco struck down Proposition 8, although for different reasons.
The measure's sponsors appealed to the Supreme Court after losing in the lower courts, and the panel's nine justices heard arguments on March 26. The case stems from the federal civil rights lawsuit filed in 2009 by two same-sex couples who want to marry.
Among the scenarios in which the high court could invalidate Proposition 8, there are three ways in which the court could rule on arguments of legal substance, known as ruling on the merits.
Most broadly, a court majority could agree with the reasoning of now-retired U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker, who said in 2010 that the U.S. Constitution provides a right to gay marriage.
Such a ruling would apply nationwide. But a broad decision is now considered unlikely, since the justices during the March arguments appeared to be seeking a cautious approach.
Most narrowly, a majority could agree with last year's 9th Circuit ruling, which would apply only to California. The circuit court said that since gay marriage was legal in California for several months in 2008, it was unfair for voters to withdraw that right for no apparent reason other than hostility toward gay people.
A middle ground could be to adopt the rationale argued by the U.S. Justice Department, which would apply to California and seven other states.
That rationale is that in states that allow domestic partnerships and civil unions similar to marriage, it is unfair to deny same-sex couple the name and status of marriage.
Finally, the Supreme Court could nullify Proposition 8 on either of two procedural grounds.
One is to avoid a ruling and instead dismiss the case as "improvidently granted," meaning that the court should not have taken up the appeal.
That option would leave the 2012 9th Circuit ruling in place, allowing gay marriages in California under a rationale that would apply only to the Golden State. (California would, however, be added to 12 other states that now recognize same-sex marriage because of other court decisions, voter initiatives or state laws.)
The second and last procedural option is that a court majority could conclude that Proposition 8's sponsors lacked the standing, or legal authority, to appeal to the 9th Circuit.
The sponsors sought to step in to appeal after the lawsuit's original defendants, including Gov. Jerry Brown and state Attorney General Kamala Harris, declined to appeal Walker's ruling.
A high court decision that the sponsors lacked standing to appeal would leave in place Walker's trial court decision that Proposition 8 violated the constitutional rights of due process and equal treatment.
But the two sides disagree on what would happen next. Lawyers for Proposition 8's sponsors contend Walker's decision would allow marriage only for the two plaintiff couples, Kristin Perry and Sandra Stier of Berkeley and Paul Katami and Jeffrey Zarrillo of Burbank.
The couples and the city of San Francisco contend that an injunction issued by Walker against state officials would apply statewide and that all same-sex couples in California would have a right to marry.
Herrera advised city officials in his memo that a no-standing decision by the Supreme Court might result in more legal disputes about the effect of that decision, but said, "We are confident that we would prevail in any litigation challenging the scope of the injunction."
Herrera said that if left in place, Walker's conclusion that Proposition 8 was unconstitutional "by definition means that there is no set of circumstances in which the government could constitutionally apply" the measure.

The Elephant Advocate
Advocating for Elephants and Others
5 Reasons We Should Care About Animals, or, Why Is An Elephant Like An Oyster?
Before this blog (blawg?) gets into laws and regulations and such, I want to first touch on a philosophical question common in the animals rights/welfare movement.
Why should we care about animal welfare and/or animal rights?
First, the welfare vs. rights distinction.
Welfare just gives humans a duty to make sure animals are well cared for. It establishes sort of a mutually beneficial relationship that started way back when everyone was a farmer. There is a body of thought that welfare comprises these "Five Freedoms," and as long as these are checked off, everyone is good.
Freedom from hunger and thirst
Freedom from discomfort
Freedom from pain, injury, or disease
Freedom to express normal behavior
Freedom from fear and distress
So, animal welfare still allows humans to use animals for their meat, skins, etc.
Animal rights activists generally disagree with the use of animals for any reason, even if the animal is cared for in a "humane" way. The basis of this belief is that animals possess intrinsic value, and are not just valuable for what benefits they provide to humans.
Note: Beware the groups that demonize animal rights activists. Every social movement has its extremists, and not all animal rights activists want to take your pets away. Don't believe everything the NAIA tells you. Seriously what is with the graphic at the bottom.
The main difference is that the animal welfare movement stills allows for the use of animals for human benefit, and animals rights movement aims to give animals legal rights and more autonomy.
Elephants & the Law's position is that animals deserve better legal status, because they are valuable in their own right. Obviously not the same legal status as an adult human, although I do think my cat should be able to vote. She's Lib-purr-tarian…
Animals are not ours to use freely, but we should be able to coexist with them, and use what they provide for us if our use does not cause harm. We should be smart enough to know where to draw the line.
But still, why do we even care?
Five Reasons
Because animals are valuable in their own right.
If you have the time, I would suggest reading Peter Singer's Animal Liberation or Practical Ethics. Both were published a while ago but the philosophy behind his arguments is timeless.
His argument starts with Jeremy Bentham's utilitarianist view that the test for whether animals matter is whether they can suffer. Peter Singer builds on that test, explaining something that he termed "equal consideration of interests." Basically, if an animal can experience pain and suffering, then that animal is worthy of consideration. That animal has an interest in not suffering, and that interest should be weighed equally with the interests of humans. Because no one wants to suffer.
Animals exist in their own complex universes, innocently concerned with not hurting, starving, or being eaten. We have no place ranking their importance in our universe.
But, while we're on Bentham and the question "Why?"…
Click here for an explanation…
Because we are compassionate beings.
If you really need a reason to care about animal welfare or rights, this is a pretty good one.
What is compassion? Google says: "Sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others"
So suffering and misfortune provokes a compassionate response in humans. Well, animals – elephants in particular – are experiencing suffering and misfortune constantly. And we just can't plead ignorance anymore.
We are compassionate to other humans (hopefully), so why not every living thing?
Because caring about animals makes us better.
"He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals."
Caring for animals makes makes us better in a lot of ways, not just our health. ( I know some people are like ew Huffington Post, but the author of this article is a well-known neurologist and a very reputable animal advocate. Check out Aysha Akhtar on TedX!)
Caring for animals makes us a more compassionate, progressive, sustainable society.
And less violent.
There are a lot of studies about the link between animal abuse and domestic violence. Studies show that abusing animals during childhood is an indicator of violence later in life. This article suggests that children who do abuse animals have probably witnessed domestic or animals abuse themselves. What a terrible cycle.
So, if we turn this around, then maybe showing animals compassion during childhood is an indicator that one will show animals and humans compassion throughout one's life. Maybe loving elephants is an indicator that one is not a serial killer? Would this hold up in court? Asking for a friend.
Because a world without elephants would SUCK.
Question: Why is an elephant like an oyster? (credit: IFAW)
Answer: Both are "keystone" species. "This means that if the species were to disappear from the ecosystem, no other species would be able to fill its ecological niche."
And other reasons. And other other reasons.
But, most importantly, elephants are valuable in their own right, remember? They are valuable because they exist. They are beautiful, intelligent, friendly, vegetarians, and a world without them would be so, so, sad. Because a world without elephants reflects on our apathy to their suffering. For what? Little ivory statues? One of my friends from law school often says, "Is everyone okay?" Seriously.
Because progress is important.
Because progress on animal rights reflects progress on equality in general.
Equality is about more than race, sex, or whatever humans seem to think. Equality is about an open mind, about consideration, about realizing the world doesn't revolve around one person or one species. Progress on one front means we're going in the right direction.
"The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men."
– Alice Walker.
YES ALICE. By the way, Alice Walker is an author and civil rights activist – not an animal rights activist. She might not be vegan, and that's her business. This is a good quote and a sentiment that resonates with me.
There is a common argument against animal activism that says it's wrong to put time and energy towards animal rights when humans are suffering. But, like I said, progress on one front is progress in general. This article about a human rights activist-turned-animal-rights-activist is another good response.
"Of course this is the dominant mentality, based on a presumed superiority of humans, so much so that the slightest harm to a human is often seen to outweigh a tremendous harm to an animal. Given that the capacity to suffer is in no way limited to human beings, this bias in favor of humans is simple prejudice, favoring those we perceive as similar over those we perceive as different and therefore inferior, the hallmark of all discrimination and oppression."
Basically, equality is important, and progress towards equality is essential. And that includes animal equality. It doesn't mean building mansions for mice, it just means letting them live in peace. It's not that difficult!

Arabic Transliteration in Golang - Part 1
I majored in both Arabic and Computer Science in college, and regret that I didn't spend more of my time experimenting with the overlap between those two fields. I'd love to learn more about how computer science is taught in Arabic speaking countries. I'd also like to do technical work with Arabic, such as writing an Arabic language compiler. The project ﻗﻠﺐ (pronounced 'Qalb') is a Scheme-like interpreted language entirely in Arabic. It's a really interesting project, particularly because it incorporates Arabic calligraphy in the language, combining the technical process of writing code with artistic output.
I'm not quite ready to make an Arabic compiler (though after taking Berkeley's compilers class I might be a little bit closer to ready). Instead, I decided to make an Arabic transliterator. When I had to type papers in Arabic, I would change my keyboard to be Arabic, then hunt and peck for the right keys. Using a transliteration program would be a lot faster. I also decided to implement my program in Golang.
To explain how the transliterator works, I need to explain a little about how Arabic works. There are 28 letters in Arabic. Some of those letters are consonants, and some of them are long vowels. "Long" just means that when spoken, the vowels are stressed. In addition to those letters, there are short vowels. Short vowels float on top or below of the main 28 letters.1
So, there's Unicode for the 28 different letters, as well as Unicode for the short vowels. Arabic is written right-to-left, but Unicode is interpreted left-to-right. That means that the first letter in an Arabic word (aka the rightmost character) should be the leftmost Unicode element.2 So, the Unicode corresponding to ع ر ب is
(U+0639) (U+0631) (U+0628)
where (U+0639) is the ع in that word. That word is written without the short vowels. So even though it's pronounced "araba", nothing about the way it's written tells you about the pronounciation. If you wanted to distinguish "araba" from "ariba," you would need to add in the short vowels. The vowels go on top of each letter as combining characters. Because of the right-to-left nature of Arabic, the combining character must be to the left of the character that it's on top of. So, to provide the proper vowels we would use the Unicode
(U+064E) (U+0639) (U+064E) (U+0631) (U+064E) (U+0628)
and get َ ع َ ر َ ب. Simple enough, right?
Except there's one thing I haven't mentioned yet. Arabic words have each letter connected, forming a cursive-like script. Except, unlike in English, there's no such thing as non-cursive writing. The words I listed above are actually meaningless, because the letters aren't connected. Oftentimes, word processors recognize that the letters should be connected and switch the letter to be the proper, connected form. But sometimes, it doesn't happen.
A very unfortunate tattoo 3
Each letter in Arabic has 5 forms. We've been using the general Unicode so far. But to insure that the text renders correctly, we should be using the extended forms. Letters can be in the front of a word, in the middle of the word, or at the end of a word, and there are 3 forms per letter corresponding to those locations. There is also an isolated form, which is equivalent to the standalone general form.
The proper way to write araba is ََﻋَﺮَﺏ and uses the Unicode
(U+064E) (U+FECB) (U+064E) (U+FEAE) (U+064E) (U+FE8F)
Now that we understand how Arabic letters work in Unicode, we need to start thinking about how they can be represented in English. There are two issues that make transliteration challenging:
Arabic has sounds that don't exist in English. For example, the letter `ayn is a deeply throaty sound, often very hard for English speakers to reproduce. To get an idea of what I mean, try emphasizing the "a" in the word "father." Make the "a" as deep as it can possibly go. That's about what an `ayn sounds like.
Arabic has letters that are combinations of two english letters. For example, Arabic uses the letter shin (pronounced like "sheen") to denote the "sh" sound in English.
This makes the mapping from English to Arabic more difficult. Thankfully, I didn't have to figure out a scheme myself. I used the Qalam transliteration system, which is known for its simplicity. It's fairly intuitive for me to think of an Arabic word, then find the proper English representation in this scheme.
Arabic letter

dhaal dh ghayn gh raa' r
faa' f
taa' marbuwTah t or h haa' marbuwTah h 'alef maqSuwrah ae

Here are the short vowels and other diacritics:
Arabic diacritic
fatHah a
kasrah i
Dammah u
shaddah double previous letter
maddah ~aa
sukuwn -
tanwyn N
Using the transliteration scheme, we can write ََﻋَﺮَﺏ as `araba. Not too different from what we started with!
Alright, this provided some intro and background on the problem I was hoping to solve. Look for part 2 where I delve into Golang and the code I used to make my transliterator.
1: Even on long vowels!a
2: I'm not going to get into punctuation and Unicode bidirectionality.
3: Here's some discussion of that image.
a: Sort of. But for this post, let's assume that's true.

Children are inherently musical. They respond to music and learn through music. Music expresses children's identity and heritage, teaches them to belong to a culture, and develops their cognitive well-being and inner self worth. As professional instructors, childcare workers, or students looking forward to a career working with children, we should continuously search for ways to tap into children's natural reservoir of enthusiasm for singing, moving and experimenting with instruments. But how, you might ask? What music is appropriate for the children I'm working with? How can music help inspire a well-rounded child? How do I reach and teach children musically? Most importantly perhaps, how can I incorporate music into a curriculum that marginalizes the arts? This book explores a holistic, artistic, and integrated approach to understanding the developmental connections between music and children. This book guides professionals to work through music, harnessing the processes that underlie music learning, and outlining developmentally appropriate methods to understand the role of music in children's lives through play, games, creativity, and movement. Additionally, the book explores ways of applying music-making to benefit the whole child, i.e., socially, emotionally, physically, cognitively, and linguistically.
This course was created specifically for the study of music, but the contents can be adapted for internships in most curricula.
Although it is significantly expanded from "Introduction to Music Theory", this book still covers only the bare essentials of music theory. Music is a very large subject, and the advanced theory that students will want to pursue after mastering the basics will vary greatly. A trumpet player interested in jazz, a vocalist interested in early music, a pianist interested in classical composition, and a guitarist interested in world music, will all want to delve into very different facets of music theory; although, interestingly, if they all become very well-versed in their chosen fields, they will still end up very capable of understanding each other and cooperating in musical endeavors. The final section does include a few challenges that are generally not considered "beginner level" musicianship, but are very useful in just about every field and genre of music.
Understanding Music: Past and Present is an open Music Appreciation textbook co-authored by music faculty across Georgia. The text covers the fundamentals of music and the physics of sound, an exploration of music from the Middle Ages to the present day, and a final chapter on popular music in the United States.
Welcome to Music 1300, Music: Its Language History, and Culture. The course has a number of interrelated objectives: 1. To introduce you to works representative of a variety of music traditions. These include the repertoires of Western Europe from the Middle Ages through the present; of the United States, including art music, jazz, folk, rock, musical theater; and from at least two non-Western world areas (Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, the Middle East, Indian subcontinent). 2. To enable you to speak and write about the features of the music you study, employing vocabulary and concepts of melody, rhythm, harmony, texture, timbre, and form used by musicians. 3. To explore with you the historic, social, and cultural contexts and the role of class, ethnicity, and gender in the creation and performance of music, including practices of improvisation and the implications of oral and notated transmission. 4. To acquaint you with the sources of musical sounds—instruments and voices from different cultures, found sounds, electronically generated sounds; basic principles that determine pitch and timbre. 5. To examine the influence of technology, mass media, globalization, and transnational currents on the music of today. The chapters in this reader contain definitions and explanations of musical terms and concepts, short essays on subjects related to music as a creative performing art, biographical sketches of major figures in music, and historical and cultural background information on music from different periods and places.

Technology Innovation Group (TIG) performed a commercialization assessment on a promising cancer immunotherapy technology developed at Baylor Research Institute (BRI) and created a company to carry the technology forward along the commercialization path to the market.
BRI in Dallas asked TIG first to assess the research and intellectual property (IP) around immune cell manipulation for cancer vaccines.
This assessment led to the creation of a new company that commercialized the technology and engaged in Phase II clinical trials.
A TIG Principal, Tom Turpen, was contracted to be the CEO of the new company for a year and subsequently helped recruit a permanent CEO after many risks to the company were reduced.
TIG raised more than $4 million in first round funding, gained approval for a Phase II clinical trial, stabilized the company and subsequently helped recruit a permanent CEO.
TIG also worked with BRI on a novel therapeutic to treat a set of rare metabolic disorders. Support included technology validation, an assessment of commercial potential, clinical trial data collection, quality control for the manufacturing process, and a manufacturing audit of the compound. TIG provided oversight through orphan drug designation from the FDA. TIG then negotiated a commercialization option/license to a pharmaceutical partner for future development for orphan drug and other applications.
TIG Principal Tom Turpen served as President and CEO of Eliance Biotechnology, a vaccine research company spun out of UT Southwestern. He orchestrated a Series A raise of $2.5 million, a $13.6 million additional raise and acquisition of Eliance by MacroGenics, creating a comprehensive immuno-therapeutics company. The acquisition was widely recognized as a major milestone in the development of the biotech industry in North Texas.
