Some Facilities
Most famous former guest: King Henri IV of France, aka 'Good King Henry'.
Château de Chanzé is a beautifully authentic old château for rent near Angers in the heart of the Garden of France; the Loire Valley. It has history going all the way back to the 11th Century and still retains a huge amount of medieval ambience. There are five spacious bedrooms and suites in total, and the château can sleep up to fifteen people comfortably.
THE ACCOMMODATION:
There are three spacious suites with en-suite bathrooms and lounge/seating areas, and two smaller bedrooms with shared bathroom. Two of the suites have one double bed and one single while the other has one double bed and two single beds.
Of the two bedrooms, one has one double and one single bed and the other has just one double bed. Thus the château can sleep a total of up to fifteen people.
The centre piece of the château is the very atmospheric 100m2 'Banquet Hall' which has a five metre long solid oak dining table, an enormous, 17th century era fireplace, candelabras, handmade lead-light windows, a Young Chang grand piano and some lovely old antique furniture and art pieces.
There is also a lounge room adjacent to the Banquet Hall with flat screen satellite TV, DVD player with DVDs, comfortable seats and a sofa. The well equipped kitchen has everything you need for preparing meals plus a dishwasher and and extra fridge in the storage room. Check out all the details on the booking page here. (Note: There is a minimum stay of three nights.)
If you don't feel like cooking at any point, or you'd like to arrange a special event, with advance notice the managers can arrange a chef and waiter, or arrange meals, including breakfast and lunch, be delivered via local catering companies.
The château grounds are very lovely with a large courtyard, and gardens leading down to the River Layon that are filled with flowers and shrubs, and shaded by centuries old oak and walnut trees.
There is an outdoor, heated salt water swimming pool here and also a cave like wine-cellar under the property which remains cool throughout the summer months and which can be a nice place to organize gatherings.
You'll find plenty of outdoor furniture, for lounging and for al-fresco dining, a fire bowl with complimentary firewood and you can also play some boules or badminton on the lawns.
The WiFi in the château building itself is weak but there is a special 'Work Lounge' by the pool where the connection is based and where the signal is strong, and strong enough to be used in the gardens around the swimming pool too.
Château de Chanzé is just over 20 miles south of Angers and around 60 from Nantes, in the wine growing region of Coteaux de Layon, part of the broader Anjou, Loire Valley, wine region. It has 30 appellations (d'AOC), and those in the know will tell you that some of the world's best dessert wines originate in vineyards around the château. The château owners themselves are enthusiasts and will be happy to help organize all sorts of wine tourism activities in the surrounding area.
The uniquely fertile climate and topography of Loire Valley also makes it one of France's leading agricultural and horticultural regions and, rather famously, it is home to an incredible amount of lavishly beautiful cheateaux, plus picture perfect little villages, and historical abbeys and churches.
There are many walking and cycling trails to explore around the château, with one just across the road in fact; the old railway track of 'Petit Anjou' connecting Thouarcé and Chalonnes-sur-Loire.
Thouarcé, around a mile away, is the nearest village and there you'll find a supermarket, two boulangeries, a butcher and delicatessen, a hair dresser, a florist, tennis courts and a petrol station.
The nearest railway station is at Angers, Gare d'Angers Saint-Laud, with the nearest airports being also at Angers, and at Nantes just over 60 miles away.
A LITTLE HISTORY:
The site we now know as Chanzé got its first mentions in in the early 11th century, being listed in administrative documents as Canziacus or Canzi, then later that century as Chanzeium, Chanzé or Sanzay.
In the late 13th century the Aménards, having already owned a large amount of neighbouring estates, become Lords of Chanzé, and thus began a long line of association with the château.
This aristocratic family were much involved in the Hundred Years War against the 'English' (to keep things simple!). Briand and Guy Aménard fought and died in the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, and six years later, Jean de Fontaine-Guérin, an in-law to the Aménards, became a famous hero of the Battle of Baugé.
Jean would eventually die in the Battle of Crénon in 1472, before which time though he was made a Knight of the Order of the Crescent and undertook large scale renovations of Château de Chanzé.
Records show that in 1534 the château was passed on via marriage to the Montalais family then in 1543 was bought by a Jaques du Bellay, Baron of Thouarcé.
On March 25th, 1576, it was he who had the honour of hosting the King Henry of Navarre, later to become Henri IV, the famous 'Good King Henry, at the château. Jaques' descendents would remain at Chanzé until 1663 when it was sold to the Cossé Brissac who resided there until the revolution when it was burnt down during the associated War of the Vendée.
This burned out shell remained empty until 1818 when it was bought and fully restored by an Etienne-Louis Robert, with the château then passing through many different hands, and seeing many other renovations and enhancements, in the following two centuries.

Q: how to stop a toggle script from ending when a link is clicked? I'm using the below code to show/hide a nav and its children. It is working as intended. When the nav shows, and I click on one of the child links, it closes, and then takes me to a new page.
 // swap classes for lower level nav
  jQuery('.toggle').click(function() {
  $(this).toggleClass('toggle');
  $(this).toggleClass('toggle_open');
 });

 jQuery('a.portfolio').click(function(e) {
  e.preventDefault();
 });

It doesn't do this with Safari, but Chrome & Firefox display the behaviour above. When I watch what is happening when the inspector is open; I click on the parent link, the toggle class is applied, I click on a child link, and the toggle class gets swapped back.
How do I stop the nav from closing before it takes me to the requested page?
My markup (unconventional for a nav - i know):

 Portfolio

     item 1
     item 2
     item 3

A: You should add e.stopPropagation() to all 's click handler, and remove e. preventDefault() which will prevent you from going to a new page.
Try this code:
jQuery('.toggle').click(function() {
  $(this).toggleClass('toggle');
  $(this).toggleClass('toggle_open');
 });

 jQuery('.toggle a.level2').click(function(e) {
    e.stopPropagation();
 });

A: Try e.stopPropagation() to prevent calling additional event handlers. You may need to change the order of your event handlers.

What's the future for Car Tuning Industry?
The car's tune-up tendency is as long as I remember, maybe something else was called, as long as there were cars, people tuned them.
Car tuning can be varied, some increase car performance, others spend most of their time and money on aesthetically isolated cars, while a large number of people change with new upholstery, TV monitors, video game systems, and even laptops. Many car tuners allow a combination of the above to really separate from the crowd.
So what's the future in the car tuning industry? Thanks to the growing popularity of hybrid and greener vehicles, the car tuning industry will soon be dying, but this can not be far from reality. As the automotive industry changes, tuning companies are constantly using the latest technology to keep up to date with the latest trends, and sometimes even create technologies that the automaker produces in their production models. There are many examples of tuned hybrid cars that produce a large amount of horsepower with relatively good fuel consumption.
As manufacturers produce more electric vehicles, the automotive tuning industry is shifting to electric motors. It is much easier to increase the power produced by the electric motor than the familiar internal combustion engine. There are already automotive manufacturers that use environmentally-friendly technology to increase fuel consumption instead of increasing horsepower. One such example is a sports car manufactured by Tesla, and even Formula 1 uses small electric motors for modern cars, not just for boosting performance, but also for reducing fuel consumption.
In the second decade of the 21st century, the future looks very bright for car tuning and the environment. Cars do not go anywhere, and as long as there are cars, people will be those who like them and want to go faster and lift their vehicles out of the crowd and have a better sleep knowing they are harming the environment.

Michael Snaer leads Seminoles to victory
Nov 24, 2011 at 10:13 PM
PARADISE ISLAND, BAHAMAS - Michael Snaer scored 18 points and No. 22 Florida State held UMass to a poor shooting effort in a 73-53 victory Thursday night at the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament.
Luke Loucks added 12 points and Bernard James had nine points and five blocks for the Seminoles (5-0).
Raphiael Putney scored 11 points to lead the Minutemen (4-1), who shot just 2 for 23 from behind the 3-point arc.
The Seminoles will face either Harvard or Utah next.
Trailing by one late in the first half, Florida State went on a 15-4 run to close out the period.
Snaer had seven points during the spurt.
The Seminoles kept the defensive pressure on in the second half and the Minutemen continued to struggled from behind the arc.


Madagascar began Wednesday to vote for the second round of a presidential election with the strong taste of personal accounts between two of its former heads of state, Marc Ravalomanana and Andry Rajoelina, determined to regain power.
As early as 6:00 am (3:00 GMT), the first of some 10 million registered voters completed their civic duty in the capital Antananarivo.
"My choice is already made but I keep it for myself," AFP told a 45-year-old housewife, Monique Norosoa, slipping her ballot into the urn in the Ampadrana district.
The 25,000 or so polling stations in the country must remain open until 17:00 local time (14:00 GMT).
The vote is taking place in a worried climate. The fierce rivalry between the two finalists fears serious post-election tensions in a country accustomed to political crises since its independence in 1960.
In the second televised debate between two rounds on Sunday, Marc Ravalomanana warned against the risk of fraud.
"There are fake ID cards and fake voter cards that are circulating right now," he said, "if the Interior Ministry does not do anything, there will be serious problems ".
"It is not right if, from now on, we start to contest the results of an election that has not yet taken place," replied Andry Rajoelina, sure of him.
In the first round of November 7, Rajoelina, a former 44-year-old disc jockey, took a slight advantage by winning 39.23% of the vote. A rich dairy group boss, Ravalomanana, 69, followed him closely with 35.35% of the vote.
Outgoing President Hery Rajaonarimampianina was warmly thanked with 8.82% of the vote.
Stripped of their competitors, the two men have left these last weeks free to their personal grudges, numerous.
Elected president of the state in 2002, Ravalomanana was forced to resign seven years later by a wave of violent protests waged by Rajoelina. Mayor of the capital Antananarivo, the latter was then installed by the army at the head of the country.
The two rivals had been deprived of candidacy for the 2013 election, as part of an agreement to end the crisis validated by the international community.
Andry Rajoelina fought back by calling his opponent "old man" and advising him to "retire to milk his cows". "I will be a president of the common people who protect the poor," he said.
In recent days, the two contenders have crisscrossed the country in their helicopters to consolidate their strongholds and rallying the abstainers, by far the first party of the Big Island with 45.7% in the first round.
Their personal duel to the extreme largely overshadowed the country's fundamental problems, one of the poorest on the African continent and the only one spared by the war to have been impoverished since independence from France in 1960.
Cracking lack of infrastructure, corruption, insecurity, poverty, Madagascar and its 25 million inhabitants accumulate all the handicaps. Victim of global warming, its southern tip has suffered for years from a drought that is jeopardizing its population.
"There was no real debate about the solutions to these problems, just propaganda," says Hony Radaert, of the Collectif des citoyens, "I doubt that neither of the two (candidates) has learned the lessons failures of the past ".
Former Minister of Education and unfortunate candidate in the first round, the academic Paul Rabary sums up the issues of the poll.
Worried, the influential conference of Catholic bishops of Madagascar on Monday urged both sides to "humbly welcome the true choice of the people".
The first significant results must be published by the Electoral Commission (Ceni) after Christmas.

"Nice ride." He spoke in a neutral tone.
"Thanks." I shifted into gear and pulled away. The heated seats quickly warmed the chilly car. I wove my way through the city streets, heading toward I-395. With the hour so late, the highway would be free of heavy traffic and the fastest way to get to Colton's condo in Shirlington, Virginia.
I pulled into a street parking space and came to a stop, my hands rested on the steering wheel. "Where have you been staying?" If he gave me an address in Maryland, I would reach across the console and strangle him. It was now a quarter past one in the morning. I had zero interest in schlepping him to some friend's house in Rockville or Bethesda.
"Yes, of course!" His sarcasm cut me to the quick. Our relationship might have ended on an acrimonious note, but I certainly didn't wish him pain. The tension in the car was so thick you could slice it with an X-Acto. Hurt, anger, and guilt that I thought I'd come to terms with two years ago welled up to form a choking lump in my throat.
Colton clamped his teeth and his jaw muscles flexed, whether from pain or hostility, I didn't know. His ability to hide his emotions had been one of the strike points in our relationship. That's what came from dating an Army intelligence officer. They were trained to suppress their true feelings. This wasn't the first time I had no idea what he was thinking. However, considering our last parting shots at each other, I could surmise his thoughts weren't pleasant.
I ceded the staring contest. My eyes shifted to gaze blankly out of the windshield at the white Camry in front of us. My chestnut curls fell forward to shield my face and emotions from him.
"Why? Did I drag you away from a hot date?" he bit out.
"He's not a Frog. He's French. He's a security specialist at the Embassy," I squawked defensively.

Horan wants Islands in Super Rugby revamp
Wallabies great Tim Horan has called for Pacific Island nations to be part of a new-look Super Rugby model, with their teams based out of cities in Australia and New Zealand.
The Sanzaar competition looks set to undergo a major revamp from next year, with New Zealand Rugby having announced a wholesale review into every aspect following the outbreak of COVID-19.
International travel has been an exhorbitant feature of the competition and with many flight paths currently closed off by the coronavirus crisis, there is widespread speculation the teams from South Africa and Argentina will be omitted from an Asia-Pacific model of Super Rugby.
Horan suggested teams from those continents could play in their own conference and potentially meet the best Asia-Pacific teams in a play-off series.
The dual World Cup winner told New Zealand's Sky TV that Japan would ideally remain involved and eventually the United States should be welcomed.
He also said the Pacific Island teams should finally be given a regular role in a prominent rugby competition, although he accepted they couldn't be based in their home countries for financial reasons.
"We've got to keep supporting them. Whether we potentially have one of them in next year... can you base Tonga in Auckland? Can you base maybe Samoa on the Gold Coast for a period of time?
"The financial model has to stack up going forward because the broadcast revenue is not going to be there as much as it used to be."
Horan said it would be important to retain close ties with South Africa and Argentina at Test level.
The man leading New Zealand's review, lawyer and Blues chairman Don Mackinnon, said a more localised Super competition will be strongly considered, along with the introduction of the Pacific Islands.
He told Newshub the reopening of trans-Tasman travel may prove to be the core element of any competition revamp.
"It could be possibly with or without Australia, depending on the (travel) bubble that is being talked about," Mackinnon said.
"A whole lot of issues flow from that, but that's probably the most obvious immediate change we need to consider."
Dave Rennie committed to coaching Wallabies despite Raelene Castle's exit as CEO
Ian Foster picks Sam Cane as shock new All Blacks captain ahead of Sam Whitelock


Shari Carlson, the festival director, is herself an actress and teacher with her own studio in San Francisco, and this is the core of her festival. She lives and breathes acting and its obvious she cares deeply of the craft and those that participate in it. It really was an honor to be considered and to be a part of the BAFF in 2017. The ceremonies held looked way beyond fun and I wished I could have been able to attend but was working on a project the same weekend. They shared info throughout on social media for those unable to be there. I highly recommend BAFF, a very original fest from a dedicated acting teacher and staff!


The Stack & Count Parking Garage from Melissa & Doug promotes number recognition, color recognition, sorting and counting skills, and hand-eye coordination. It also encourages problem solving, explorative number play, and imaginative play. The play set includes 10 wooden cars and a sliding counter. Recommended for ages 3+.

Re: how can I copy photos from verizon samsung s4 to pc?
Plug the phone into the PC (using the charging cable) and then the phone should show up almost like another hard drive... Browse the phones folders and go to pictures. Copy that over and you're good :).


It's always a struggle to come up with a good group Halloween costume theme for me and my roommates. In the years past we went as the three blind mice and then the Spice Girls. But this year I decided that I just wanted to go as something that would include an outfit that is comfortable and warm.
I started looking online for some ideas about what I could convince my friends to dress up as and I came up with the idea to dress up as counting sheep.
Making a sheep costume has been pretty easy. I bought some sweatpants and a sweatshirt. I can't decided if I want to bother putting cotton batting or balls on it to make it look better. But I might just stick a number on the costume. I think my roommates are glad that I chose something that's so comfortable and easy to pull off, especially in comparison to the Spice Girls! I think that they'll never forgive me for that idea after they had to walk around in platform shoes and short skirts on a cold Halloween night.
I love this idea of pretzels! And I'm excited for my kids to get a little older like yours and be able to really enjoy this kind of thing. At 3 and 1, it's still a blast, but sometimes they don't quite get it! :-) Maybe it's the way I present it. Anyway, glad I found you through the Mom Loop Hop. I hope you'll head over to my site too at www.mommywithselectivememory.blogspot.com.
The sheep idea is hilarious. Love it! Many years ago, my friends and I went as the fruit characters from the Fruit of The Loom underwear brand. I was the grape, and my balloons kept popping all night long!


Yes, it's that time of year again. We are about to enter into the biggest holiday season of the year. The beginning of the excitement always starts with Halloween. Don't make the grave mistake of letting this time pass without having some fun. This can be a great time for you to get into the spirit of things and go crazy with ideas.
A Halloween past time has always been pumpkin carving. This is an artistic activity that can be fun for all ages. This time of year does not have to be all about the spooky and creepy. Think outside of the box when looking at designing your pumpkin. You can use paint, lace, carving tools, etc. The sky is the limit with your creation.
Take this opportunity to encourage your child's creativity, decision making, and problem solving skills by including them in the choice of the size, shape, color, etc. for the pumpkin that they would like to transform into their own personal creation. Set the imagination of the child free, and you may be surprised at the masterpiece you have for your front porch, window sill, or even your table.
Not everyone has children, but this does not mean that you cannot get into the Halloween spirit. For those of us who either do not have children, or our children are all grown up, you can still enjoy this holiday adventure in creativity. Take this opportunity to carve out some spooktacular Halloween fun with friends. Invite some friends over for a BYOP (Bring Your Own Pumpkin) party, costumes optional. You can have snacks, good conversation, maybe some boorific drinks, and great fun developing personalized pumpkins.
Decorating your apartment rental is always a great way to get into the spirit of the holidays. Halloween is no different. One great idea is to use string lights to spell something fun on your wall, door, or other area of your home. You could also place festive items around your home and your front porch area. Making a custom wreath of Halloween décor is another creative way to connect with your inner skelefun. You could even take those amazing pumpkins you made with your ghoulfriends to put on display for everyone who visits you to enjoy.
Have a big screen premier on a small scale level. Send out some invitations, and decorate your apartment in the spirit of the holiday. You can choose to make it a costume party or a special themed party, create some kooky treats, and set up a screening area. Plan ahead a few movies that you would like to show at your gathering. You can even mix it up between scary movies and comedic Halloween movies. Whatever you decide, just make sure to have a ghoulish time with your friends.
Why sit at home by yourself on Halloween? Instead, you can have a fangtastic time getting the community involved. Set up fun resident activities like a Trunk or Treat area, "block" costume party, or even have a Halloween bake off with neighbors. Then you all can enjoy goblin up all of the treats together.
Whenever you reside in a community with other individuals, there is always a chance of disagreement over one thing or another. Maybe they listen to loud music, their dog barks constantly, or they park in your designated spot. Whatever the reason is, a huge confrontation does not have to occur. Instead of living with this resentment or frustration toward your neighbor(s), let's learn how you can keep the peace for a happier home.
It can be very hard to reign yourself in when you have become frustrated or angry with the actions of another individual. The first thought is to handle the issue right then, but researchers say this is the worst thing you could do if you would like a positive outcome. How many times have you been angry in your life, reacted, and then later thought that maybe things would have ended differently had you had the chance to think before you acted? This is common, and happens to everyone. If something is bothering you regarding a neighbor's behavior, don't immediately go knocking on their door. This will most likely end with a verbal confrontation without resolution. Instead, take a couple of hours to step back from the situation, collect your thoughts, and assess the situation. This way you can approach the individual in a calm manner, allowing for a more open dialogue.
While you are taking that time to calm down before approaching the individual, you should also be considering what resolution you would like to have happen. For example, if the neighbor in question is having all night gatherings with loud music or other noise coming from their home, what would you like to see happen? Do you want the noise to end by 10PM on weekdays and 12PM on weekends? Make sure you are being reasonable in your request, and be able to calmly express why you would like to see this resolution in place.
This video is intended in jest, as a little comedy in dealing with neighbors. It is not meant to be taken seriously or as advice.
A huge issue that seems to happen frequently is gossip. I know we don't like to think of ourselves as the stereotypical gossiper, but you would be surprised how often we "accidentally" bring up situations that involve others whom are not present while we are talking. When it comes to something that is emotionally charged, we have to be careful about gossiping as this could further increase the complications with the other individual. Keep issues with neighbors between you and that neighbor (and possibly the leasing office if needed). Attempting to handle a situation one-on-one without involving other neighbors will bring better results, improve resident relations, and increase the likelihood that you will be able to come to a positive resolution with the individual.
One of the biggest issues in any relationship arises because of a lack of communication. Verbal communication is always best, so this is the preferred communication style whenever possible. When you are ready to confront the neighbor, remember to stay calm. Your approach will definitely dictate the direction of the conversation.
If you do not feel you can calmly address the situation with the individual, you could try writing a neighborly note discussing what your concerns are. Make sure in your writing you are not accusatory, abrasive, aggressive, or vulgar.
Please keep in mind that there are some individuals who have a heightened response to any criticism. Although it is very hard, remaining calm and being the "adult" in the situation is crucial. If this is the type of situation you find yourself in, involving the leasing office or police may be required. Never put yourself in a dangerous situation in an effort to confront a neighbor about an issue.
Spring has sprung, and summer is passing quickly. Going into local stores around town I am sure you have noticed the fall preparations beginning. Yes, I know it seems that we just got through winter, but fall is fast approaching us. Getting your apartment ready for fall can be fun, and it does not have to be expensive. Take a look at some of these ideas to spruce up your festive side and prepare for fall fun.
The first thing that people see when they enter your home is the entry way. This is the gateway into your home, and you have to ask yourself, "What do I want the first impression of my home to be to others?" Every entryway (even those that are almost non-existent) can be spruced up to be welcoming, fun, classy, and say something about who you are.
a) If you have a small entry area, you could place a small end table with a work of art hanging over it to add style to your space.
b) If you are like most people in Bozeman, as it gets cooler, the bigger clothing items (i.e. jackets, coats, snow gear, etc.) begin to trickle out. Don't fret. You can take various wall hooks and design a creative, unique area for guests to hang their items as they enter your home.
c) If you like to recycle items to give them new life, try re-purposing a garden trellis to establish a new artistic coat rack for your space. Simply give the garden trellis a face lift with fresh paint, attach some eye hooks, and voilà. You have an awesome multi-functional wall organizer.
Every season you are pushed to change everything in your life to "keep up" with the ever changing trends and decorating ideas. Who has the time or money for that? However, there are many things you can do to give that fake makeover (fakeover) look to your space without breaking the bank to get those warm touches of fall.
a) Get fitted covers for your couch and loveseat. You don't have to buy a whole new living room set. You can simply pick up a couple of covers in the warm colors of fall, and fit them to your furnishings in your living room.
b) Change out your throw pillows. Simply picking up a couple of seasonal throw pillows can completely change the look of a room.
c) Change out throw blankets in the room with some warmer, more fall like, colors.
d) Make some creative decorations like a fall wreath to hang as a focal point in the room and/or spiced candles with pine cone accents.
e) Add a large mirror, or a collection of mirrors to a wall, to open up the room, reflect more light, or just add a touch of art.
f) Add some fall foliage to your space to bring about the warm mood.
Chances are good that when the warm weather came, you put that thick blanket away. As everyone who has lived in Bozeman for any amount of time knows, the weather here can change any second. I believe the saying is, "If you don't like the weather here, wait 5 minutes and it will change." Now is the time to start preparing for that unexpected cool night, and get those blankets washed and ready.
Just like with your bedding, your clothing should be rotated as well. Yes, the warm weather is still here (for the time being), but it is good to start going through your fall items to see what you need to purchase and what you would like to get rid of. Also by going through your fall clothes, shifting things in your closets and drawers, and beginning to have everything ready for the seasonal changes, you are ahead of the game. If you wait until you need that coat, but can't find it or it has a hole in it, then you will cause yourself undue stress and frustration.
5. Is There A Draft In Here?
Living in an apartment in Bozeman, you have access to a competent and skilled maintenance team. Check under your sinks for any leaks, feel around windows and doors for drafts, and ensure that all appliances are working properly. Contact your leasing office if you find any issues so they can address the problems before the colder weather rolls into town. Having these concerns handled now instead of when you have icicles coming from your ceiling will make for a much happier and comfortable transition as Mother Nature shares her weather adventures with us.
Some apartment homes allow you to paint your walls (as long as you return them to the original color when you vacate). This could be a great opportunity for you to erase that cold or enclosed feeling you get with stark white walls. However, you will want to avoid dark or heavy colors for the walls. You can save those for the accent pieces to decorate your bathroom with. The dark or heavy colors have a tendency to make the space feel more enclosed or smaller. By choosing lighter (not necessarily brighter) colors, the room will have a soft warm cozy feeling without feeling bounded.
If you have a regular shower curtain in your bathroom or are currently the proud owner of frosted glass doors, try changing these out for clear glass doors. This will add the look of the shower area as part of the bathroom instead of adding another illusive barrier to space. If you are unable to install glass doors, you can also try using a tie back to decoratively hold the curtain to one side.
Try to open up floor space. Yes, this sounds like a no brainer, but often times we close a bathroom in by cluttering the floor area that we have to work with. If you have a linen closet, try keeping your laundry basket in the closet instead of the bathroom. You can also store other items like cleaning materials in the closet as well. Another option for saving floor space is to store your trash receptacle under the bathroom sink instead of allowing it to take up floor space.
Establish a focal point of your room. Don't try to force too much into a small space. Choose maybe a couple of accent colors, and stick with that. Being too eclectic with your space can cause the feeling of being closed in as there is so much going on in such a small space. This also decreases the ability to have an even flow in the room.
Add a floating shelf high in the shower, above the linen closet (if it is in the bathroom), or over the door area. This will allow for creative organizing without intruding on the already limited space of the room.
Try using an over-the-door towel rack. One of the unfortunate things about drying racks for the bathroom is that they take up useful wall space and can make your bathroom look cluttered. By placing the rack over the door, you are taking that "eye sore" from immediate view thus opening up the room.
Use an over-the-toilet storage option. Many stores and on line vendors offer these special shelving/storage option for the bathroom. These are great for opening up areas, adding functional yet appealing storage options, and can really add that certain something to your space. They come in several varieties, easily assembled (usually), and can be inexpensive.
These are just a few ideas you could try to enhance the illusion of space and the feeling of your bathroom. But be creative and enjoy your undertaking of a small home improvement task. We would caution that if you decide to paint or otherwise change the physical structure of the room, please check with your leasing office first. This will ensure a smooth transition and no issues with lease requirements.

Young people misinformed about skills required to progress

What young people think they should be doing to grow their careers is at odds with employer expectations
According to a study of 445 global Bachelor-level students and 80 global HR managers by CEMS and its corporate partner Universum, more than half (53%) of students believe that developing technical experience will aid their career. But less than four in 10 (36%) HR managers considered this to be important.
More than a third (35%) of the students surveyed stated that doing more than what is asked in the job description is the best way to get ahead, whereas this was cited by only a fifth (20%) of HR managers.
HR managers said young professionals can best develop their careers by working outside their comfort zone (61%), gaining broad experience (59%), and networking (56%). HR also placed greater emphasis on taking international assignments as a career driver (36%), whereas only a quarter (25%) of students thought this was important.
Neither students nor employers thought that working long hours would aid career growth, with only 5% and 4% respectively considering this to be something young professionals should be doing.
Roland Siegers, executive director of CEMS, highlighted the disconnect between what employers and potential candidates think boosts career progression.
"Although technical skills still have relevance, global recruiters believe that it is most important for young professionals to develop a diverse skillset, gain broad experience, and develop resilience by working outside their comfort zone. Importantly, they also believe international assignments are key in helping young people get ahead in the workplace."

Rep. Jeremy Moss, D-Southfield, speaks about legislation to expand the state's open record laws on Feb. 1, 2017. He is surrounded by state representatives supporting the legislation.
LANSING, MI -- Legislation to subject the legislature and governor to the Freedom of Information Act is back, and more than half of the 110-member House of Representatives is supporting it.
The Michigan House of Representatives last session overwhelmingly passed legislation looping the Governor and legislature into open records laws, and the legislation is back this time around, with the support of more than half of state representatives.
"The people of Michigan are demanding transparency. The House of Representatives intends to deliver it to them," said Rep. Lee Chatfield, R-Levering at a press conference unveiling the legislation on Wednesday.
He and Rep. Jeremy Moss, D-Southfield are leading the package of bills. They were joined at the press conference by more than 60 lawmakers, including many freshmen lawmakers, House Speaker Rep. Tom Leonard, R-DeWitt, and House Democratic Leader Rep. Sam Singh, D-East Lansing.
The legislation the group announced mirrors legislation Moss and Chatfield worked on with former Rep. Ed McBroom last session, subjecting the Governor to the existing Freedom of Information Act and establishing a separate Legislative Open Records Act that covered the legislative branch.
That legislation passed by a wide majority, with most bills in the package passing 100-6.
But the legislation hit a roadblock in the Senate, where it was referred to Senate Majority Leader Arlan Meekhof's, R-West Olive, Government Operations Committee. It never got a hearing, and Meekhof declared the legislation dead before the lame-duck session ended.
Sen. Arlan Meekhof, R-West Olive, is taking several items off the table.
House Speaker Tom Leonard, R-DeWitt, said he'd spoken with Meekhof, and his primary concerns last year were around the privacy of constituent contacts with lawmakers. Leonard said he believed the legislation addressed that.
Moss and Chatfield are happy to meet with Senators on the legislation, they said. Moss added that constituent contacts were addressed in the legislation, in his opinion, and it was one of the things they spent the most time on last year.
Moss pointed out that the handful of lawmakers who had voted against the legislation in 2016 were third-term lawmakers. He and Chatfield pointed to a big appetite for expanding FOIA among new lawmakers who joined the body in January.
"This is one of those things that, whether you were a Democrat or a Republican on the 2016 campaign trail, you were talking about transparency. And this is the first big bipartisan step to actually push that forward," Moss said.
Rep. Curt VanderWall, R-Ludington, said he heard about the issue starting in the primary and running up through the general election. He previously served as a county commissioner, where all of his information was subject to FOIA.
"When you do a job for the public you need to be open and they need to know who you are," VanderWall said.
"For us Yoopers it's incredibly important... we feel geographically isolated and to not have the sunshine shining into the capitol and the governor's office makes us Yoopers feel as though the government might not be working towards our best interests," LaFave said.
Michigan ranked dead last in the nation for accountability in a 2015 report issued by the Center for Public Integrity, which took the state's lack of FOIA into account.
Groups outside of the legislature praised the introduction of the legislation on Wednesday.
"Michigan currently ranks at the bottom of all states when it comes to fighting corruption and giving people access to information. We are glad to see the State House come together in a bipartisan way to act, but there is simply no excuse for the way Republicans in the State Senate blocked these bills last session. The public has a right to demand accountability from their elected officials. The time to crack down on secrecy in government is now," said Dan Farough, a spokesman for the transparency group Common Cause Michigan.
Also calling for swift action was the Michigan Democratic Party.
"Democrats have been fighting for a long time to end the secrecy and behind-closed-door decision-making that have been the hallmarks of Republican-controlled state government. I am pleased House Republicans have decided to join us in this effort. We call for these bills to be acted on immediately and sent to the State Senate where the real fight for transparency and accountability can begin," said Chair Brandon Dillon.

Starbucks vows 'unconscious bias' training after having 2 black men arrested

Starbucks vows 'unconscious bias' training after having 2 black men arrested In a TV interview, the chain's CEO said new staff training would address "unconscious bias." Check out this story on vcstar.com: https://usat.ly/2qD1VxV

The CEO of Starbucks is pledging to start "unconscious bias" training for employees after a video of two African-American men being arrested Thursday while waiting for a friend at one of its Philadelphia locations sparked demonstrations and calls for a company boycott.
CEO Kevin Johnson said in a interview of ABC's Good Morning America Monday that the training would address "unconscious bias." He also discussed instituting training for store managers on guidelines for handling situations in the coffee shops that warrant calling the police.
"Clearly, there's an opportunity for us to provide clarity," he said.
He explained that the company was reviewing the actions of the Philadelphia store manager and the guidelines followed. Later, Starbucks confirmed Monday that the Starbucks employee who made the call to police is no longer with the company, but it didn't indicate whether the worker was fired.
The reaction came in reaction to a videotaped incident in which Starbucks employees called police after the two men after two well-dressed African American men waited at the store without buying anything. They were denied access to the store bathroom, saying it was only for paying customers. The workers told police the pair was trespassing. A video of the incident posted on social media has been viewed an estimated 10 million times.
In the videotape, the friend, who is white, appears as the two men are being handcuffed by police and led away. Starbucks declined to press charges.
"Starbucks was built as a company that creates a warm, welcoming environment for all customers. That didn't happen in this case," Johnson said. "I've been very focused on understanding what guidelines and what training ever let this happen. What happened was wrong and we will fix it."
The same morning he was being interviewed on live TV about racial profiling, protesters were chanting slogans like, "A whole lot of racism, a whole lot of crap, Starbucks coffee is anti-black," at the Starbucks in the Center City section of downtown Philadelphia where the incident occurred. Demonstrators also were outside the coffee shop on Sunday.
Starbucks did not return phone calls seeking comment to delineate what policies are currently in place or outline what exactly the promised training would entail.

Johnson has repeatedly apologized for the incident.
The names of the two men have not been released.
This is Johnson's first real test on the job. April marks the one-year anniversary of his becoming CEO. He replaced Howard Schultz, who is credited with transforming the Seattle-based business into a worldwide brand and now serves as executive chairman. Johnson, who first joined Starbucks in 2009, was previously its chief operating officer.
Starbucks stock appears to be unaffected by the PR nightmare. It was $59.40, up 16 cents or 28% in late-morning trading.

Rudolf Prich (ur. 6 sierpnia 1881 w Opawie, zm. 1940 w ZSRR) – podpułkownik dyplomowany cesarskiej i królewskiej armii oraz generał dywizji Wojska Polskiego. Ofiara zbrodni katyńskiej.

Życiorys
Urodził się 6 sierpnia 1881 w Opawie jako syn Jakuba.

Od 1902 był oficerem artylerii w C. K. Armii. Według stanu z 1914 był kapitanem w korpusie sztabu generalnego ze starszeństwem z dniem 1 listopada 1911. Służył wówczas przy Sztabie Generalnym w Wiedniu. W tym charakterze pozostawał po wybuchu I wojny światowej. Został awansowany na majora sztabu generalnego z dniem 1 sierpnia 1916. 25 lipca 1918 został mianowany szefem Oddziału XX Ministerstwa Wojny w Wiedniu.

15 kwietnia 1919 został przyjęty w stopniu podpułkownika do Wojska Polskiego i przydzielony do Naczelnego Dowództwa WP. W czerwcu 1919 objął stanowisko szefa sztabu Dowództwa Okręgu Generalnego "Lwów", a w grudniu – szefa Oddziału I Sztabu Naczelnego Dowództwa. 15 kwietnia 1920 został przeniesiony do Sztabu Ministerstwa Spraw Wojskowych na stanowisko szefa Oddziału I. 29 maja 1920 został zatwierdzony z dniem 1 kwietnia 1920 w stopniu pułkownika, w artylerii, w grupie oficerów byłej armii austro-węgierskiej. W styczniu 1922 objął dowództwo 26 Dywizji Piechoty. 3 maja 1922 został zweryfikowany w stopniu pułkownika ze starszeństwem z dniem 1 czerwca 1919 roku i 6. lokatą w korpusie oficerów artylerii. 1 września 1923 został wyznaczony na stanowisko komendanta Doświadczalnego Centrum Wyszkolenia Armii w Rembertowie.

31 marca 1924 Prezydent RP Stanisław Wojciechowski na wniosek ministra spraw wojskowych, gen. dyw. Władysława Sikorskiego, awansował go na stopień generała brygady ze starszeństwem z dniem 1 lipca 1923 i 8. lokatą w korpusie generałów. Podczas przewrotu majowego 1926 roku opowiedział się po stronie władz legalnych. Od lipca 1926 do września 1935 pełnił funkcję komendanta Centrum Wyszkolenia Artylerii w Toruniu. 1 stycznia 1928 Prezydent RP Ignacy Mościcki awansował go do stopnia generała dywizji ze starszeństwem z dniem 1 stycznia 1928 i lokatą 2. w korpusie generałów. 31 grudnia 1935 został przeniesiony w stan spoczynku i następnie zamieszkał we Lwowie.

11 września 1939 gen. broni Kazimierz Sosnkowski mianował go dowódcą obrony obszaru Lwowa, sięgającego od Rawy Ruskiej po Dniestr (lub nawet Karpaty). Już następnego dnia gen. Prich osobiście kierował kontratakiem przeprowadzonym przez oddział Policji Państwowej i pluton z batalionu wartowniczego nr 61 na niemiecką grupę pościgową płk Ferdinanda Schörnera z 1 Dywizji Górskiej, która wjechała do miasta ulicą Gródecką. Od 16 września, po rozwiązaniu dowództwa obrony obszaru Lwowa, pozostawał w dyspozycji gen. bryg. Władysława Langnera, dowódcy obrony Lwowa.

W 1993 przyjęto błędną wersję, według której po zajęciu Lwowa przez Armię Czerwoną generał miał opuścić miasto, i że pod koniec września 1939 został zastrzelony przez Sowietów we wsi Jasienów Polny, między Horodenką a Śniatyniem przy granicy z Rumunią i tam pogrzebany. W 1994 okazało się bowiem, że nazwisko generała figuruje na Ukraińskiej Liście Katyńskiej pod numerem 2392. Powyższy dokument wskazuje, że generał został aresztowany przez NKWD i osadzony w więzieniu, prawdopodobnie na Zamarstynowie, a zamordowano go na terenie Ukrainy po 5 marca 1940. Dokładne miejsce i bliższe okoliczności śmierci w dalszym ciągu pozostają nieznane. Został pochowany na otwartym w 2012 Polskim Cmentarzu Wojennym w Kijowie-Bykowni.

Rodzinę gen. Pricha sowieci deportowali do Kazachstanu.

Sanguem quarry operator told to pay Rs 1.22 crore royalty
The mines department has directed a basalt stone quarry operator in Sanguem to pay Rs 1.22 crore towards royalty within one month, following the controversial extraction of basalt stones from a quarry in Uguem from 2008 to 2012.
Hit by this notice, efforts are now on to involve local politicians, in a desperate bid to get the government to reduce the royalty.
Director of Mines and Geology, Prasanna Acharya, issued a demand notice, asking the quarry operator to make the payment towards royalty within one month from the date of the demand notice, failing which the amount would be recovered as arrears of land revenue.
The notice stated that the quarry operator extracted basalt stones from a site other than the area granted to the quarry operator by the Department of Mines and Geology. "During the period, the quarry operator extracted 62,720 cubic metres of basalt stones from the quarry, which account to payment of royalty of Rs 1.25 crore. However the quarry operator paid Rs 3.33 lakh towards royalty and Rs 1.22 crore is due and recoverable from the quarry operator," states the notice.
The notice has been issued following an enquiry by the department in view of a high court order in a Public Interest Litigation filed by a villager, Francisco Carvalho.
Following the High Court order, all quarry operations by some six quarry operators in Uguem were brought to a grinding halt by the mines department, as there were severe illegalities in the growing rush to extract basalt stones. Acting on the high court order, the mines department had issued show-cause notices to all six quarry operators.
As the reply by the penalized quarry operator was not acceptable, the Director of Mines issued the notice to the quarry operator, directing the company to pay the arrears in royalty amounting to Rs 1.22 crore, within one month.
Claiming that the department has finally initiated some concrete action, Carvalho stated that "The village has finally been saved from wanton destruction by the quarry operators. The inquiry with regard to the remaining five quarry operators is under process and the department is expected to finalize it in the next few days," he said.
Meanwhile, the aggrieved quarry operators are reportedly learnt to be making last ditch attempts to persuade the government to reduce the fine. To escape with minor fines, the quarry operators are believed to be meeting local politicians to persuade Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar to reduce the fine amount. [H]

With Drama of Olympic Qualifying Complete, All Eyes Turn Toward Beijing
July 28, 2008, 4:08 p.m. (ET)
The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games are just one month away and six U.S. triathletes are making their final preparations to bring home the gold.
USA Triathlon offers a glimpse back at the qualification process and a sneak peak at what to expect in Beijing on August 18 and 19. [see NBC coverage schedule]
It wasn't without drama, that's for sure. The 2008 U.S. Olympic Team selection process actually started in 2006, as athletes jockeyed for points in ITU events around the world. These precious points were the key factor in determining which athletes would even be able to partake in the three qualifying events set for late 2007 and early 2008.
Jarrod Shoemaker shocked the triathlon world by finishing as the top American at the ITU Beijing World Cup, leaving Olympians Hunter Kemper and Andy Potts, red hot Matt Reed, and another handful of athletes to battle it out for the remaining two slots. Beijing proved that the third time was the charm for Laura Bennett -- who just missed the teams in 2000 and 2004 - as she finished as the top American woman.
The 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials in Tuscaloosa, Ala., saw Reed and Julie Swail Ertel punch their tickets to Beijing, but new U.S. citizen Reed soon found out his spot was in jeopardy when the U.S. men slipped down the world rankings. He produced an amazing run of finishes during May and June to secure that final team slot and his own position on the team. Swail Ertel, who had a stellar 2007 with wins at USAT Elite Nationals, the Pan American Games, and the ITU Cancun World Cup, earned her second Olympic appearance, but first in triathlon. She won a silver medal in 2000 on the U.S. water polo team.
More drama unfolded in June as a flood swept through Des Moines, Iowa, threatening the ITU Hy-Vee World Cup, the last qualifying event. But the waters receded in time, and beautiful weather on race day paved the way for great races from Hunter Kemper and Sarah Haskins to round out the Olympic Team. Kemper, who had been hounded by injuries since early 2007, was clearly emotional as he crossed the line and realized he had become the first three-time U.S. Olympic triathlete. Haskins Kortuem, a school teacher just five years ago, realized a childhood dream by making her first Olympic team.
Andy Potts and Becky Lavelle were named the team replacements.
Now the attention turns to China, where this team of three U.S. women and three U.S. men will battle the world for Olympic Gold. The races are set for August 18 (women) and August 19 (men), with 55 men and 55 women set to compete on the 1.5k swim, 40k bike, 10k run course.
The course will feature a one lap "figure 9" shaped swim in the beautiful Ming Tombs Reservoir, a six lap bike featuring a challenging climb, long descent, and some technical turns in and out of the transition area, and a four lap out and back run that is primarily flat, but with a short sharp ramp out of and back into the transition area each lap.
The U.S. is one of just five countries to field a full team of six. Who will be the key athletes and countries to watch? As always, New Zealand, Australia, Great Britain, Switzerland, Canada and Germany will field teams full of medal contenders. France, Japan, Spain, Portugal, Czech Republic, Brazil, Luxembourg, Kazakhstan, Bermuda, Syria, Estonia, Ireland, Zimbabwe, and Chile are among the other countries with athletes on the start list.
In the women's race, the story has to begin with Vanessa Fernandes (Portugal) and Emma Snowsill (Australia), who have become the athletes to beat in international competitions over the past few years. But look for names like Bennett, Daniela Ryf (Germany), Emma Moffat (Australia), Jessica Harrison (France) and rising stars Lisa Norden (Sweden) and Helen Tucker (Great Britain) to challenge for the medals.
"We have a strong women's team for sure and they are all good swimmers and have succeeded for years by setting a fast pace from the gun," USAT Sport Performance Director Scott Schnitzspahn. "As experienced as Laura and Julie are, they are both still getting faster, especially on the run. Sarah proved that she is a force to be reckoned with by her silver medal at Worlds this year as well. There are so many talented women in the sport now, though, and this format is so unpredictable. Everyone thinks that Emma Snowsill of Australia and Vanessa Fernandes of Portugal will battle it out for Gold and Silver and everyone else will be racing for Bronze. I think there will be a surprise in the women's race and I think our girls will be part of that."
No stranger to the Olympic Games (she won water polo silver in Athens in 2000), Ertel is ready for a return trip. "I'm looking forward to the entire Olympic experience. Walking in the opening ceremonies is going to be very special for me," she said. "It's likely the last time I'll get to do it.
"It's rewarding to know I've made some sacrifices and they've paid off. My goal is to win a medal, but if I can't be on top of the podium, my goal is to make sure that an American is. We have a great team; all strong in swim, bike and run. I would love it if we could sweep and take gold, silver, and bronze."
There's no arguing Javier Gomez (Spain) is the man to beat in Beijing. The reigning World Champion has been nothing but dominant on the World Cup circuit the past three years. He will battle with the likes of 2000 gold medalist Simon Whitfield (Canada), Daniel Unger (Germany), Brad Kahlefeldt (Australia), Bevan Docherty (New Zealand), Rasmus Henning (Denmark), Frederic Belaubre (France), Ivan Rana (Spain), Tim Don (Great Britain), Filip Ospaly (Czech Republic) and a host of other athletes - including the Americans - in this well-balanced competitive field.
"For the men it will be exciting," Schnitzspahn said. "Matt is having an incredible year and is running better than ever. His aggressive racing style on the bike will be an asset at the Games where nobody sits and waits for the run. Look for him to be where the action is all day. Hunter is the wily veteran, going into his third Games, and he knows how to win. Jarrod is young in the sport, but he will have had a year to prepare and he has all the talent in the world. If he puts it all together on the day anything can happen."
Kemper is hoping the third time is the charm for him. "I'm excited to go to my third Olympic Games," said the 32-year-old Colorado Springs, Colo. resident. "It's been a tough year. I've been dealing with a bit of an injury. Things are getting better and I'm putting that pain behind me and moving forward toward Beijing. Hopefully I can bring home the gold for the USA."
The team will head to China the first week of August to participate in the Opening Ceremonies, then it's off to South Korea for a training camp to get acclimated to the heat, humidity and time zone change. "It's also a very beautiful and peaceful place where the athletes can relax and focus without all of the hype surrounding the Games," said Schnitzspahn. "All of the hard training will be done by that point, so the athletes will just be tapering down physically while mentally preparing for the event."
Schnitzspahn, who stepped into his position in 2006, has experienced first-hand all the drama surrounding the qualification process over the past two years and he is ready for the athletes to reap the benefits of the hard work that has gotten them to this point.
"I'm looking forward to seeing the athletes all perform at their best and with that, witnessing the culmination of an incredible amount of hard work from a lot of people over the last four years," he said. "The world will see three men and three women from the USA all giving their best, but behind them is an army of family and friends, coaches, sponsors, mechanics, doctors, managers, the U.S. Olympic Committee and USA Triathlon staff who have worked night and day to get those athletes to the starting line prepared to take on the world."

Over 20 years ago, I learned to write code for The Two Towers LPMud. I designed features, wrote code, worked with a completely distributed volunteer staff, and took on leadership roles there for 17 years while doing other significantly less technical things in the real world. The last 4 of those years were while I studied for my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science. I left the MUD world to take a paying job as a QA Analyst, then another as an engineer, and then accepted my boss's offer to become a QA Manager and build a team.
When you build a new team, you will have to figure out what those people do.
When you ask an entire product development organization to apply your process, you'll need them to understand why and buy-in.
When your job's success relies on making other teams more productive, you should build allies with (at least) the leaders of those teams.
When you require political and monetary capital to improve your productivity, you should build relationships with the people who provide that capital.
I fumbled my way through those challenges, hired some terrific people to do an amazing job (despite having me as their manager), and along the way unlocked my passion for engineering management which led me to lead 3 teams at my current company.
As an individual, the biggest challenge I face is finding time on my calendar for action items. I'm directly responsible for 14 people and indirectly responsible for another 5. Narrowing my focus to make time for each of those individuals is my daily struggle. Fulfilling my responsibilities to my team, my boss, my peers, and being home for dinner is tough but manageable.
One of the harder parts of being a manager is giving your team space to solve problems. One of my biggest challenges continues to be holding those solutions back. I have two new managers reporting to me and as I build out plans, process, and context for my other direct reports, I run the risk of eliminating those managers' abilities to find even better solutions than mine. Managing engineers who work in tech stacks foreign to my experience made this effort easy: all of my reports are far more knowledgeable than me about how to solve those problems. Managing new managers is much more difficult for me, but I work on this by being very candid with them, inviting them to try something different than my approach, and including this challenge in my quarterly development goals.
Identify the required skills and values for the role. Turn that into an inclusive job description using Textio. Aggressively share my vision with my hiring panel through a position-specific, values-aligned document and a pre-huddle meeting. Continuously calibrate in post-huddle meetings to ensure that we're all assessing for the right skills and values. Iterate. Sell, sell, sell.
I saw a terrific talk from Jay Goel at OSCON called Humane Interviewing. One of the biggest takeaways for me was to remember who your candidate is, and what they're giving up to spend time with you. I tell my panel that it is more important to provide a good experience for our candidates than to get great hiring signal. We can always call the candidate back with another question later if we need to, but it's so much harder to change their impression of our culture.
Risk over-communicating with your reports on everything: why you're trying to change a process, why you're asking for something, what impact they've had. Talk to your peers about how they're tackling different problems, and find a mentor within your company or outside of it.
Empower your reports to solve their problems; you don't have time to be an action bottleneck for your team.
You have a new job, and you need feedback to guide you. Set the early expectation that you welcome feedback from your reports and reward them by listening when they give it to you.
Most of my work days are full of productive meetings designed to share context, gather context, or both. I have weekly 1:1s with my reports and boss, and 1:1s of different frequencies with business partners, skip-levels, and other peers. I try not to use e-mail filters for fear that something will get hidden, so I skim a few times a day for e-mails that look like they require me to read them. I mark a lot of e-mails as read without having read them (shhh). Likewise, with Slack I tend to ignore conversations that haven't called me or one of my groups out; I use the Activity Feed constantly.
For action items that must be done, I use a personal Trello board with a "‼ One thing only today ‼" list to keep me focused.
I constantly prioritize everything that I'm doing because there just isn't time to do more than that. Some things are delegated to my reports, some things stop happening because they just aren't important. This also gives me a little time to be flexible to respond to requests.
Slack, or more specifically the Rands Leadership Slack. I've found a great deal of community there, as well as mentorship by a diverse set of leaders. When I'm faced with a challenging decision, need some copy-editing, or need help processing how I feel about something, I seek help there.
Outside of that slack, I rely heavily on Twitter for insights from other leaders.
@lara_hogan, @maascamp, @KieranSnyder, @EricaJoy, et al. They all make me a better manager and human.
First, Break All The Rules: What the World's Greatest Managers Do Differently by Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman is a wonderful book for managers. I keep their 12 questions in mind when I think about team culture and happiness and keep that list handy in all of my note-taking systems. It also introduced me to the concept of managing for someone's strengths rather than using performance management to highlight their weaknesses.
I'd also recommend Patrick Lencioni's The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable. There are clear lessons about recognizing your first team that I wish I'd learned earlier in my career, it's a short read, and the parable has been relatable to my experience.

Have you ever wondered what really jailbreaking is? The process of jailbreaking allows to get rid of any limitations on your iOS device. What this really means is that, as an iOS user, you can access settings that are normally deemed as off-limit by Apple. There is usually a catch with this. With every jailbreak, you risk making your warranty void. On the flip-side, the process tends to be reversed and undetectable. This piece will provide you with a free jailbreak manual that will help you with the process.
The use of smiley faces while texting can drastically change the mood of a text. By simply adding a smiley face at the end of your text you can make a text that otherwise sounded rude appear friendly. Besides just altering the feel of a text, animated emoticons are also a beauty to have. These funny faces and icons can be used successfully to punctuate your text messages and help you with some expressions. If you did not know, these icons are commonly known as emoji.
I once forgot my password and I can assure you that I did not like the experience. I was not able to log into my account to access my profile. Thanks to the password recovery option, I was able to successfully recover the lost password. It was relieving as I was sure that my account would not be hacked.
The hacking of Facebook accounts has always been a problem amongst many Facebook users.
In as much as the Facebook deactivation process is easy to get done with, Facebook does make it easier for you to access the Facebook deactivation link. If you grow tired of your Facebook account, you need to make a decision on whether you want to permanently delete your account or simply go for a temporary suspension.
Now that iOS 5 is PC-free, changing the name of your iPhone, iPad or iPod directly from the device itself is possible. With the earlier versions, it meant that if you wanted to change iPhone name, you had to connect your device to your PC via USB, connect to iTunes or fighting sync then proceed with the name change. However, that changed with the introduction of iOS 5 and the latter version. It is now possible to change iPod name or your iPad name. You are only a few steps away from changing your device's name!

In a recent tweet the founder of Wikileaks, Julian Assange, stated that the Bitcoin donations that Wikileaks has received are now worth more than $22 million.
After many credit institutions, banks, and payment services like PayPal and Visa denied and blocked donations to the organization in 2010, Wikileaks decided to officially accept Bitcoin as a donation method.
At the end of the day, the decision to use Bitcoin as a donation method paid off for the non-profit organization. Through the last years, the Bitcoin price has been rapidly rising to the impressive all-time high of $5831. Wikileaks has received over 4000 Bitcoins in donations through the last years, and those 4000 bitcoins are now roughly worth over $22 million.
What do you think of Wikileaks decision to accept Bitcoin as a donation method? Do you think that it was a smart decision from the Wikileaks team? Let us know in the comments below!


For many young people in Norfolk, this Christmas will be one spent alone in an unfamiliar flat – perhaps without even the budget to turn on the heating.
That's why one of Norfolk's social enterprises has teamed up with the county's chamber of commerce to give a gift this festive season which will transform the holiday for those who are struggling.
Future50 business Your Own Place has launched a #Transparentgiving campaign, where businesses or individuals can buy a practical item such as a set of mugs or a saucepan for someone who needs them.
Your Own Place supports young people in transition to settle, from support with housing through to employment, by offering advice and mentor schemes.
Rebecca White, founder of Your Own Place, said: "Christmas can be really tough for some people who will be spending it alone. They won't receive a card or anyone to check in on them, and with everything shut have nowhere to go.
Benefactors of Your Own Place have created Argos wish lists which can be accessed and purchases made by members of the public.
"They're not asking for grand things like 32" TVS. They're asking for mugs so they can make their mum a cup of tea in their own home, they're asking for a saucepan," Ms White said.
The method of charitable giving started in America, and allows companies to see exactly where their cash is going and who it is helping, instead of it being put into a larger charity pot.
The Norfolk Chamber of Commerce has been helping the enterprise to approach some of the county's larger employers.
"If we can get some of the larger companies on board it would make a huge difference," Ms White said.


Grim Legends 3: The Dark City, Queen's Quest 2: Stories of Forgotten Past, and Demon Hunter 2: New Chapter are our top selection to play today.
The latest addition in this selection are My Brother Rabbit released the 30 December 2018 and ranked #50, My Brother Rabbit Winter Edition released the 20 September 2018 and ranked #42, Endless Fables 3: Dark Moor released the 19 July 2018 and ranked #46.

Toronto-based financial technology company LowestRates.ca has begun a new advertising campaign that encourages consumers to consider alternatives to banks or insurance companies for services such as mortgages, insurance and credit cards. The campaign is intended to raise awareness of the brand, particularly with millennial-aged consumers. The effort depicts the website as a "smarter, faster and better way" to make financial decisions.
The initiative consists of night-time out-of-home projections in downtown Toronto, transit advertising in the Greater Toronto Area, and with a series of online videos. Additional elements include online advertising and commercials on radio and streaming audio services. The creative depicts consumers focusing too much on small decisions and not enough on big decisions. The campaign was developed by Dentsu Bos, with public relations from NorthPR and media planning and buying by Dentsu Media.

VIDEO: #1 Folsom Stays Unbeaten Topping Pleasant Grove for League Title
Posted by Gary Martin | Nov 9, 2013 | 1
Folsom Quarterback Jake Browning piled on 486 yards in passing to lead the Bulldogs to a 63-39 victory over the Pleasant Grove Eagles to remain undefeated and claim the Delta River League title.
Notably, according to MaxPreps.com, Browning also broke the state record for most scoring TD passes in a season, taking his total to 56 and eclipsing the old mark by four.
Access Sacramento's Will James and Jim Dimino narrate the highlights in Access Sacramento's final football broadcast of the season:
Video edited by Erika Bradley.
The Folsom Bulldogs finish the regular season with a perfect 10-0 overall and 5-0 league record. Coaches Kris Richardson and Troy Taylor have been unstoppable, even against top notch teams, like the #3 ranked Pleasant Grove Eagles.
Folsom Quarterback Jack Browning sets to pass in the final regular season game of 2013.
Browning just may be the best passing quarterback in the nation. Against the Eagles he connected for seven TD's in the air, completing 34 of 43 passes (79%) for 486 yards. At one point, he had 21 consecutive completions before a dropped ball in the fourth quarter. The coaches are so confident in Browning's ability to pile on the yards, the team doesn't practice punting.
The top receiver for the night was Josiah Deguara with 10 recptions for 176 yards with five TD catches, the longest for 51 yards. Troy Knox had seven for 95 yards and two TD's, his nine-yard reception with 3:10 left inthe first quarter put Folsom up 7-6 to take the lead for good. Receiver Will McClure caught five for 86 yards.
Pleasant Grove scored early in the first quarter capitalizing on a huge opening kick off return that started their scoring drive from the Folsom 25-yard line. The Eagles went ahead 6-0 on a one-yard TD run by Quarterback Deaundre Terrell six plays later.
Eagles' running back Ian Broom was the work horse for Plesant Grove with 18 carries for 97 hard earned yards, although he never scored a TD. The long run of the right was by Easley Simmons with a 79 yard dash. Simmons was also the sprinter on a 56 yard TD pass reception from Terrell in the third-quarter.
Coach Joe Cattolico's Eagles finish the regular season with an 8-2 overall record and a 3-2Delta River League tally. Post season play for the Eagles depends on the result of today's Oak Ridge vs. Jesuit football game. Oak Ridge defeated Pleasant Grove last week, and if it wins again, the Eagles' post season could come down to the power rankings in the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section.
Post season bracketing will release at 4pm today from the CIF-SJS office in Lodi.
