"When I made this dish, I left the kitchen window open," writes the anonymous Lisa, who posted this dish on the allrecipe website. "The smell attracted several male neighbors, and when my husband came in, he said that it smelled so good, he hoped it was coming from our house and not from someone else's! Serve with my Moroccan Couscous and Cucumber Raita on this site."
That sounded good to us. Not so much the men coming running bit, since Julia is happily married to an eminent Ancient Near Eastern scholar, and I'm still stupid for the flamenco guitarist. But anything that smells good enough to bring men running must by definition have something extra; some mysterious something contained within the 14 spices (plus lemon zest!) that touches the primal animal. It sounded promising indeed. So we printed it out and ventured into my spice box to see what I had on hand. It was when we saw how much space the spice and jar bottles took up on my table that we gave the recipe its new working name of Lamb with a Thousand Spices.
Brown half the lamb in 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan (we used the tagine). Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining lamb. Add onions and carrots to the pot and cook for five minutes. Stir in the fresh garlic and ginger; continue cooking for five more minutes. Return the lamb to the pot and stir in the lemon zest, chicken broth, tomato paste and honey. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low. Cover, and simmer for 1 1/2 hour to two hours (we did two and a half). You can thicken the broth if it's too thin.
Working the night before, Julia spooned out the spices into a gallon Ziploc bag. We doubled the amount because we'd almost doubled the amount of lamb to feed the Seder guests. This is before I remembered that two of the wives in attendance are strict vegetarians and wouldn't be touching the stuff. No matter, I thought. If this dish came out as promised, the men would eat more than their fair share.
The next day, the day of the Seder itself, we started cooking at about 1 in the afternoon. I chopped and diced, trying hard to stay focused in the face of my growing panic that we'd started too late and that none of this was going to turn out anyway.
Luke arrived to see the kids and Julia. First words out of his mouth: "It smells incredible in here! What are you cooking?"
"It smells fantastic in here! What are you cooking?"
Third man: Dr. Ash. "Oh my God. What are you cooking?"
Fourth man: Tony. "Que Alegria! Is that the lamb?!"
Over the course of its simmering, we noted that the lamb had a significant kick at the end. Maybe we'd put in a bit too much cayenne pepper? Julia suggested adding a lot more honey, which we did. I can't tell you exactly how much. Two twirls around the perimeter with the bear.
Finally. The Lamb with a Thousand Spices was done. Julia added a fistful of prunes to the mix toward the end, because a lot of traditional lamb tagines include prunes, apparently. And at the table she sprinkled it with freshly-chopped coriander.
Next time, I suppose. This dish paired great with the shiraz Tony brought and got raves from everyone who tried it. There were some leftovers, but not a lot: The males came through, each going back two or three times for more. In all, it was a vast improvement over my miserable failure two years ago. But that was a wholly different recipe, and of course, I didn't have a tagine yet, either. Lamb with a Thousand Spices will be made again, and soon. Perhaps for a Spring party?

Leading with Gratitude by Adrian Gostick and Chester Elton
Leading with Gratitude
Eight Leadership Practices for Extraordinary Business Results
Adrian Gostick and Chester Elton
The influential New York Times bestselling authors—the "apostles of appreciation" Chester Elton and Adrian Gostick—provide managers and executives with easy ways to add more gratitude to the everyday work environment to help bolster moral, efficiency, and profitablity.
Workers want and need to know their work is appreciated. Showing gratitude to employees is the easiest, fastest, most inexpensive way to boost performance. New research shows that gratitude boosts employee engagement, reduces turnover, and leads team members to express more gratitude to one another—strengthening team bonds. Studies have also shown that gratitude is beneficial for those expressing it and is one of the most powerful variables in predicting a person's overall well-being—above money, health, and optimism. The WD-40 Company knows this firsthand. When the leadership gave thousands of managers training in expressing gratitude to their employees, the company saw record increases in revenue.
Despite these benefits, few executives effectively utilize this simple tool. In fact, new research reveals "people are less likely to express gratitude at work than anyplace else." What accounts for the staggering chasm between awareness of gratitude's benefits and the failure of so many leaders to do it—or do it well? Adrian Gostick and Chester Elton call this the gratitude gap. In this invaluable guide, they identify the widespread and pernicious myths about managing others that cause leaders to withhold thanks.
Gostick and Elton also introduce eight simple ways managers can show employees they are valued. They supplement their insights and advice with stories of how many of today's most successful leaders—such as Alan Mulally of Ford and Hubert Joly of Best Buy—successfully incorporated gratitude into their leadership styles.
Showing gratitude isn't just about being nice, it's about being smart—really smart—and it's a skill that everyone can easily learn.

That's where to start if you need to be healed. Meet the Healer. Jesus said:- John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. (NIV) He came that we might have life to the full.


NOTE: Much of the content for this blog has shifted to the Ultimate Direction Blog. There you will find Trip Reports and essays from Anton Krupicka, Peter Bakwin, and occasionally myself and Scott Jurek. Below is an exception – this Adventure Running Blog has featured excellent info on The Maze, and this report adds more.
April 11-14, 2013. Canyonlands NP and Robbers Roost, Utah. 107 miles, 4 days. Backpacking – Peter Bakwin and Buzz Burrell.
The Maze is one of my favorite places in the world. "So near yet so far" – it's in the middle of Utah, yet is probably the most remote spot in the lower 48. Not much water and tricky navigation mean it's expert-only terrain, but the rewards are obvious: beautiful scenery, usually excellent weather, and extraordinary solitude: we saw mostly footprints in 107 miles covered over 4 days.
I'd been here many times, but always alone; this time I met my frequent partner-extrodinaire, Peter Bakwin, for a route that combined the Maze Loop with another loop through the even more remote Robbers Roost country, hiking the length of Happy Canyon (thus the name of this route), and exiting up through Sams Mesa Box Canyon to close the loop.
I'm expanding my definition of an "adventure run". No longer does it have to include risking one's life; now it can just be really fun, interesting, or new.
Such was the case a few weeks ago. I was in the Bay Area visiting Galen and Kristin, spectating the amazing North Face 50, and really enjoying the weather. While a massive high pressure cell was pounding my home on the Front Range with near-zero temps, wind, and snow, the same system provided NoCal with unprecedented warmth and absolutely clear skies.
G & K live in Mill Valley, right on the east flank of Mt Tam. So on Monday out their front door I went, looking for a very easy but full day of exploring the beautiful and unique terrain of the Marin Headlands.
I felt like Davy Crockett. The Trans Zion – a wonderful run that traverses Zion National Park from one end to the other – was getting too crowded. Once an uncommon adventure, it seemed like someone was now doing it every spring weekend.
So in May when Jared Campbell shoots me an email with a Google Earth file attached and the entire text of the message is "Call me. :)" … well, I examined the file then called immediately. Turns out he had devised a new route thru Zion National Park, a very clever one going from west to east over the best summits, thru the best canyons, crossing some unknown territory, and with minimal time on actual trails. The Google Earth file showed a technical route climbing up to and then descending Icebox Canyon, running up the Hop Valley Trail to Wildcat TH, climbing the two Guardian Angels, then launching across unknown terrain hoping to connect with the West Rim Trail. From there the idea was to descend Imlay Canyon to the Narrows, then complete the Traverse by scrambling up Orderville Canyon. I loaded my Utah Topo! DVD, carefully studied the contours, and was somewhat surprised: this route actually seemed possible. This looked great.
NOTE: This blog has always focussed on descriptions of great adventure trail runs, providing uniquely excellent information intended for the accomplished runner / reader.
I'm going to broaden the scope of this blog. Prompted by the topic below, which somehow caught and held my attention, there will be more essays, equipment tips, and news.
1) Greg Mortensen is justly famous for his book, "3 Cups of Tea" (released in 2006 and selling 3 million copies) followed up by "Stones Into Schools …". He founded the Central Asia Institute which receives donations to build schools for children in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and which during December 2010 alone, raised $8 mil. He's famous, he's won many awards, he's idolized, and his book was even required reading by US Army in Afghanistan.
New Trail Race in Boulder!
Boulder, Colorado – Boulder Trail Runners is pleased to announce the creation of a new trail race to be held in Boulder's Open Space and Mountain Parks. Long thought to be totally impossible due to extremely restrictive regulations, the news was welcomed with surprise and delight by members of the running fraternity.
Entry into the inaugural Goshawk 50, named after a bird that doesn't live here, but theoretically could, is typical of many ultra's in the country nowadays. You can't get in unless you sleep with the Race Director.
The White Rim was in great shape: the Mineral Bottom road, which has been closed due to a huge flood back in August, wouldn't open again for two more days, which means we ran this entire 25 mile loop with not only zero jeeps passing us, but not seeing a single other person.

PSY apologizes for viral anti-American lyrics
Jareen Imam, CNN
Updated 10:31 AM EST, Mon December 10, 2012
South Korean pop star PSY apologized for what he called "inflammatory" lyrics
PSY rapped in 2004: 'Kill those f---ing Yankees who have been torturing Iraqi captives'
The lyrics, posted in October on CNN iReport, exploded on blogs, social media months later
PSY: 'I will be forever sorry for any pain I have caused by those words'
Read a version of this story in Arabic.
Is this the end of "Gangnam Style" mania?
Korean pop star PSY – who rose to fame through his YouTube record-breaking video "Gangnam Style" – apologized Friday for anti-American lyrics he rapped back in 2004.
That performance resurfaced on CNN's iReport and then circulated widely online. It included lyrics calling for the death of American troops serving in Iraq, not long after news of the brutal slaying of a South Korean hostage by Iraqi insurgents – an incident which sparked anti-American sentiment in South Korea.
In his apology, PSY said his performance had been emotionally charged and was a response to events in the war in Iraq.
"I understand the sacrifices American servicemen and women have made to protect freedom and democracy in my country and around the world," he said in a statement.

He said the song "was part of a deeply emotional reaction to the war in Iraq and the killing of two Korean schoolgirls that was part of the overall anti-war sentiment shared by others around the world at that time."
The girls were struck and killed by a U.S. military vehicle.
PSY continued: "While I'm grateful for the freedom to express one's self, I've learned there are limits to what language is appropriate and I'm deeply sorry for how these lyrics could be interpreted. I will forever be sorry for any pain I have caused by those words.
"While it's important that we express our opinions, I deeply regret the inflammatory and inappropriate language I used to do so."
The lyrics of the song, titled "Dear America," were written by the South Korean rock band N.E.X.T., and PSY was one of three performers rapping out the lyrics on stage.
The lyrics were posted on a then-unvetted CNN iReport in October. The English translation of the Korean lyrics has picked up steam online since then, drawing thousands of views, and then exploding on blogs and social media this week. CNN reached out to the iReporter who brought attention to PSY's anti-American lyrics, but did not receive a response.
CNN was able to translate the lyrics as saying," Kill those f–ing Yankees who have been torturing Iraqi captives and those who ordered them to torture," and going on to say, "Kill them all slowly and painfully," as well as "daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law and fathers."
PSY shook hands with President Barack Obama over the weekend at "Christmas in Washington," a charity music concert where he performed alongside stars such as Diana Ross and Demi Lovato.
Before PSY's D.C. performance, his controversial lyrics led to a petition on whitehouse.gov demanding that he be dropped from the concert. Even as conservative websites picked up the story, the petition was deleted later in the day. The White House website claimed that it violated terms of participation.
Commenters on the original CNN iReport responded with varying viewpoints on the lyrics.
Some expressed outrage over the Korean pop star's alleged call for the slaying American troops. Commenter shin000 said on October 31: "Whatever the reason is, the fact that PSY insulted American Army and their family is changeless. He sang this song because of that accident and public opinion?"
Others praised PSY for speaking up and expressing his anti-war sentiments. Commenter SavvyMike said on October 30: "As an American, this makes me like Psy even more. Glad to see he has the balls to call out America when we are doing evil."
Other commenters lashed out at the iReporter, saying that he misrepresented PSY in his iReport contribution. Commenter jsong9172 said on October 30, 2012: "He is criticizing the US Army, not the country. Do a thorough background research before you scribble something otherwise you'd ruin one's life."
After the lyrics from the 2004 performance surfaced, there was an often vitriolic response on Twitter:
"So Mr. 'Gangnam Style' @psy_oppa made a song before about America and how all U.S. soldiers should be killed….guy should flee the US now," said @TheOfficialTate.
Fashion publicist/reality star Kelly Cutrone said his "words against the women in my country" were "disgusting," and referred to him as a "poseur faker freak."
@eclecticbrotha defended him saying, "Oh look, we're supposed to hate Psy because he once joined protests against American imperialism."
As for PSY's handling of the criticism, Matt J. Duffy, a journalism teacher from Atlanta, tweeted, "His statement is lesson in good crisis PR."
It's unclear what the fallout of the revelation of these anti-American lyrics will be.
But it has us wondering – what do you think the consequences should be? Should a rapper be held accountable for what he said in 2004? Let's talk about it in the comments on this story. You can be sure we'll continue this conversation on CNN for the next few days.
CNN's Carolyn Sung, Henry Hanks and KJ Kwon contributed to this report.

This billionaire has a big heart! #respect
He many be known to many as one of India's richest men, as a tech mogul and as the chairman of Wipro – but Azim Premji is definitely much more than that. He's also a philanthropist with a big heart, as evidenced by one of his recent acts of kindness.
According to reports, the 73-year-old billionaire just made a generous donation amounting to £5.7 billion to charity, which so far becomes the country's biggest single donation for a charitable organization. This move brings Premji's total donations to almost £16 billion in cash and shares. The Azim Premji Foundation currently owns 67% of Wipro's shares, a CNN report said.
In addition to that, a DailyMail feature tells us that Premji was "the first Indian to sign the Giving Pledge," a campaign which was started by Warren Buffett with Bill and Melinda Gates to encourage billionaires across the globe to share their riches to charitable causes.
Premji's foundation supports more than 150 other non-profit organizations to reach out and provide educational opportunities for poor Indians. The Azim Premji University, also set up by the foundation, helps develop professionals and offers degree and education programs.
Needless to say, Premji's donation will surely go a long way – and we can only hope that his generosity will inspire other wealthy people out there to do something similar.
Anurag Behar, Wipro's chief sustainability officer and Azim Premji Foundation's chief executive officer, put it this way:
"The visibly wealthy and the newly wealthy in India are clearly not as generous as the wealthy in, say, America. But India also has a substantial culture of philanthropy that is not conspicuous."
With an estimated net worth of £14 billion, Premji is considered as the second wealthiest person in India, only behind Mukesh Ambani, the chairman and largest shareholder of Reliance Industries Limited, a Fortune 500 company.

Hindu Man Mistakenly Eats Beef, Begs Supermarket For Tickets To India For Cleansing
The supermarket sold the man a package of beef that was mislabeled as lamb.
Nobelle Borines
One of the most well-known facts about Hinduism is that cows are sacred to the religion. Unfortunately for one Hindu man, he mistakenly ate beef that was labeled as 'lamb'. Now he is begging the supermarket that sold him the meat to pay for his flights to India so he can be cleansed after breaking his vow.
Jaswinder Paul of Blenheim, New Zealand purchased a package of lamb roast from the local Countdown supermarket. Although he cooked and ate the meat without any thought, it has since been revealed that the package of beef was mislabeled. Paul was horrified when he realized that he had eaten beef since the purification process is a difficult one.
Cows are sacred to Hindus.

Diakonia is one of the Swedish non-profit organizations that receives the largest funding allocation from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, Sida.
Diakonia has a presence in more than 25 countries, working locally with over 350 partner organizations. It focuses on providing support to people who live in poverty, giving them the power to change their own lives. Thematically, Diakonia concentrates on human rights, democracy, gender equality, social and economic justice, and peace and reconciliation.
Eligibility for civil society grants from Sida is dependent on the organization having a self-funded element. This means that Diakonia itself has to contribute at least ten percent in order to receive the funding applied for from Sida. This money comes from donations from private individuals, parishes, societies and companies.
The information grant is used to spread information in Sweden about the forces driving development in poor countries. The funding from Sida may not be used for advocacy work. Instead Diakonia funds such activities with money from the Swedish Postcode Lottery.
One of Diakonia's most important financiers is Sida, the Swedish agency for development cooperation. As part of our agreement with Sida we regularly deliver reports about our results.


Anna Yu has been an executive assistant for nearly five years. Before entering the field, Anna earned her Broadcasting degree in the Philippines and was an on-air reporter for a local television network. To be closer to her family, she moved to Northern California and became an administrative assistant for a large sales firm company. She used that experience as a jumping off point to work as an executive assistant to the CEO of a multi-million dollar tech company. She insists the essential qualities of any admin are focus, organization, and loving people.
When you start your administrative work for anyone, you need to find out about their travel habits and preferences. Even if your boss isn't traveling anywhere for months, you should sit down and speak with them about arranging trips almost immediately. First, who knows if an unscheduled meeting across the country is going to pop up, and you need all their information immediately. Secondly, knowing your bosses' preferences might give you insight to their overall work personality and procedures, which can come in handy with other situations. (For example, morning or night person? Is he always demanding first-class or is he stingy in coach? etc.) Every manager is different, so be sure to carefully note their tendencies.
-When does he/she prefer to fly? Mornings? Early Afternoon? The red-eye?
-When does he/she prefer to arrive at a destination?
-Is he/she a member of any frequent flyer programs, special military groups, age groups, etc. that could alter the prices or arrangements of the flight?
-Do they have an overall preference for any particular airline?
-Does he/she always carry on their luggage or do they check it?
-Do they have a preference as to modes of transportation? Meaning, would they rather travel in a commercial plane or a private plane? Also, once at their destination, do they prefer to ride in cabs, town cars, limos or rent their own car?
-Where do they like to sit on planes? Aisle, middle or window? First-class, business-class or economy?
-Do they have any requests for food preferences or allergies? Airlines today cater their meals to Kosher, Vegetarian, Vegan, Non-Dairy, etc.
-How much are they willing to pay/ how many frequent flyer miles are they willing to use to cater to all these preferences?
-Is he/she a member of any frequent guest programs, special military groups, age groups, etc. that could alter the prices or arrangements of the booking?
-Do they have an overall preference for any particular hotel?
-Do they request any specific amenities at the hotel? For example, do they need wireless access? A gym or pool? A restaurant or Continental breakfast?
-Do they have a preference as to modes of transportation? Once at their destination, do they prefer to ride in cabs, town cars, limos or rent their own car?
-Where do they like to stay within a hotel? Smoking or non-smoking room? On the first floor or the penthouse?
-How much are they willing to pay/ how many hotel program points are they willing to use to cater to all these preferences?
If you take the initiative to find out the answer to these important questions before your boss even asks you to book a trip, you are ahead of the game. It will not only show your dependability and responsibility, it will make your job a whole lot easier down the road.
The day has arrived – your boss has requested that you plan a business trip for him to Washington, D.C. He needs to be there for an important conference by Thursday the 8th.
First, analyze what you know about the dates. If he needs to be there the morning of the 8th for something important, you should consider booking his flight to arrive in D.C. the night before. Yet, you don't want to make him arrive too late, making him tired the next morning.
Second, take into account the departure and arrival locations. If your boss is flying out of New York City (JFK) and going to Washington, D.C. (IAD) the flight will only be about an hour and a half. But if your boss is flying out of Los Angeles (LAX) a direct flight last nearly 5 hours! That isn't counting the time difference of three hours from LA to D.C. With stops, it could be a whole day of traveling for your boss.
If you boss is traveling for an important meeting and has to cross time zones and is flying for a long time, be sure he has plenty of time to relax and rest before the big day. Traveling can be exhausting, so take this into account.
Third, use a search engine to find flights that match your calculated schedule and also match your bosses' preferences. The sooner you book the flight, the better times will be offered and the lower the cost. If your boss is a member of a frequent flyer program, give that airline preference – even if it costs a bit more money.
Expedia.com finds the lowest prices of the major flight search engines. We also use Kayak.com because you can set your preferences for departure and arrival times very easily.
Fourth, once you book the flight, call the airline your boss will be flying with – especially if he/she is a member of a frequent flyer program. Be sure they have registered, that he/she will be flying with that airline and on what flight. If you boss prefers to fly first class, check how many miles he/she has available and how many it will take to upgrade. Most bosses allow you to do this at your discretion but you should have a good idea of what is appropriate.
Also during this call, be sure they are in the aisle or window, that their meal is catered to them, etc.
First, take into account the purpose of the trip – going to an important conference. Check to see where the conference is located in Washington, D.C. Is it is Georgetown or in Bethesda? These areas are in completely different areas of the city, so be sure your bosses' hotel is as close as possible to the venue.
Usually, this arrangement is the case. However, if you boss is very particular about where he likes to stay, then book him at that hotel. Be sure to let him know that the hotel is X number of miles from the conference, so he should plan that into his trip.
Additionally, if you boss is a member of a hotel rewards group, give preference to one of these hotels, unless there are none anywhere near the conference location.
If you boss already knows a company in the area, then get that information from him. If not, contact an admin at the company or organization to which your boss is traveling. Their administrative assistant can probably give you good references. If this fails, then try looking up a place on the internet and be sure it has excellent reviews across the board.
Call the limo company and explain to them your wishes. Give them an overview of your bosses' itinerary with general locations and times. You will also want to explain that cost factors in or other requests. They should suggest to you the most reasonable service.
Just in case, you might want to shop around for this type of service. Call a couple of places and compare rates and transportation amenities.
Once you've found the best offer, finalize the details with the company. Send them your boss's complete and detailed itinerary, including flight numbers, airlines, hotel location, etc. Find out the name of the driver(s) that will be transporting your boss and all of their contact information.
If your boss opts to hop in a cab, be sure he can do it easily. If he is going to large airport during normal flying hours, there should be plenty of cabs outside at the taxi stand. If he is traveling to a smaller airport, a small city or town, or during off-peak times, call a cab company the day before he is scheduled to arrive. Let them know when he should be coming out of the airport (take exiting the plane, getting luggage, etc. into account) and his full name. An hour or so before he is due to arrive, call the cab company again to confirm. Also, tell the dispatcher what terminal or baggage claim area he'll be coming out from. Give the cab company your boss's cell phone number so they can call him where they are waiting.
If your boss wants his own wheels for the trip, then you should reserve an accommodating car. Go on a rental car company website and shop around for the best deals.
When deciding which car to order, consider the details. Does your boss choose safety over luxury or speed over a roomy interior? Think about the car he drives and what would make him most comfortable. Also, try to choose a color similar to the car he drives, because then he will instinctively be able to spot it in a parking lot.
Furthermore, think about the type of location where he'll be driving. In a major city, opt for a smaller car where driving and parking will be easier. If he is going to Texas, however, nearly everyone drives an SUV so a bigger car might be more suitable. If your boss is traveling with a lot of luggage or has to accommodate other passengers, be sure the car has ample space.
-Airline: Carrier, terminal, gate, seat number, etc.
-Transportation: Any useful numbers, names, companies, etc.
Let your boss know he can call you anytime during his travels to help with whatever details he needs. Just because he isn't in the office, you are still the support system, and should consider yourself the ultimate personal travel agent.

News: £550m pension payment proposal from Tata Steel
Tata Steel has put forward proposals to pay £550m so it can move forward following the closure of the British Steel Pension Scheme (BSPS).
Last year, the Government launched a consultation on changes to the pension scheme - the huge pension liability with a deficit of £700m reported at the time - that was seen as a deal-breaker for prospective buyers of Tata Steel's UK assets.
The consultation followed intense discussions between Tata Steel, the UK government, the pension scheme trustees and regulators to find the best option for members of the scheme.
The scheme has assets of around £15 billion and 130,000 members, around two thirds of which are pensioners.
Earlier this year, the trustee warned that if Tata Steel UK (TSUK) could no longer access additional capital from the wider Tata Steel Group for continuation of business, then the trustee would have to adopt more risk-averse investment policies that are expected to produce lower investment returns. This could have led to a deficit of between £1 billion and £2 billion. In January, TSUK confirmed that, given its current and projected performance, it does not expect to be able to pay the contributions required to close this deficit.
Union members at Tata Steel sites in the UK, including in South Yorkshire, voted to accept a proposal to close the BSPS to future accrual and now the Indian-owned steelmaker has announced that it has agreed terms for an arrangement that would separate the scheme from Tata Steel.
Working with the trustees, The Pensions Regulator and the Pension Protection Fund (PPF), Tata is hoping to secure a Regulated Apportionment Arrangement - a statutory mechanism which allows a company to free itself from its financial obligations to a pension scheme in order to avoid insolvency.
As part of the arrangement, Tata has agreed to pay £550m to the BSPS and BSPS is being given a 33% equity stake in Tata Steel UK (TSUK).
All members and pensioners of the BSPS would be offered an option either to transfer to a new pension scheme sponsored by Tata Steel offering modified benefits, or to remain in the BSPS and so receive PPF compensation.
The PPF is the safety net that provides compensation to members of eligible defined benefit pension schemes when things go wrong.
Trade unions also secured a guarantee from Tata that commits Liberty House, the new owner of the former Tata Speciality Steel sites in South Yorkshire, to honour the new defined contribution pension arrangements. This means that under the new owner, union members in Speciality Steels would be entitled to the same pension arrangements as members in Tata Steel UK, with employer contributions of up to 10%.
Allan Johnston, BSPS Trustee Chairman, said: "I am pleased that agreement in principle has been reached with TSUK about sponsorship of a modified pension scheme subject to qualifying conditions.
"Although the PPF is an important safeguard for pension schemes generally, the Trustee believes that the BSPS has sufficient assets to offer members the potential for better outcomes by enabling them to transfer to another scheme offering modified benefits. For most Scheme members, these modified benefits are expected to be of greater value than those they would otherwise receive by transferring into the PPF."
Tata Steel also reported its latest financial figures for the year ended March 31 2017. In Europe, EBITDA (earnings before tax) was £536m, compared to the loss of £52m in the previous year. The steelmaker said that this was due to "stronger market conditions, currency tailwinds, restructuring of UK operations as well as the ongoing improvement programmes, including the supply chain transformation programme which went live during the year."
During the period, Tata Steel completed the sale of its Speciality Steels business for a total consideration of £100m to Liberty House.

Skanska will renovate and expand the Patrick F. Taylor Hall at LSU.


If you have bad credit, you might feel discouraged, especially if you want to start a business. Whether you intend to establish a start-up or you need financing to keep your business running, you should know that there are some alternatives you should consider if you're struggling with bad credit.
The good thing is that, in spite of your bad credit, the door to obtaining financing isn't completely closed. The bad thing, however, is that the choices are far from being ideal, and are rather limited.
Banks and lenders will base their decision of offering you financing depending on the credit risk of your company. Here's what you should know about getting business bad credit loans.
If your credit isn't the best, the odds are that you'll encounter difficulties in qualifying for a traditional bank loan. In this scenario, the best thing you could do is wait and aim at rebuilding your credit score.
Still, one of the things you could do is getting a home equity loan – in the event in which you already own a house. Nevertheless, if your firm is a risky start-up venture, you should think twice before placing your home on the line. On the other hand, if your company is a stable, mature business, a home equity loan could be exactly what you need to get things going.
Furthermore, you could also have the possibility of getting a business credit card. In this scenario, you might have a low line of credit and a high-interest rate, which isn't quite advantageous.
Still, if an entrepreneur wishes to rebuild credit and enhance his/her score, using a business credit card in this respect can be an excellent strategy. By proving that you can re-establish good payment habits, you increase your reliability.
Fortunately, Australian entrepreneurs may choose from a broad range of funding options for small businesses. However, it's best to analyse your options in detail and establish the trustworthiness of the lender before you go for it.
For example, www.australianlendingcentre.com.au is an authoritative, top lender that specialises in offering bad credit business loans to Australians. We deliver an extensive array of financial services. We also advise you to discuss your options with a financial advisor, as your priority should be to make decisions that will help your business thrive, not the other way around.
Many companies establish relationships with vendors and suppliers when it comes to purchasing goods and services for their business' operation. If your suppliers decide to extend credit to you and assess that you've made the repayments on time, you could enhance your credit score and your business' financial position.
At one point or another, most entrepreneurs have sought financial help from relatives, friends or private investors. Choosing this option is recommended especially if the business bad credit loans you have been offered have high-interest rates. In comparison to a bank that is interested in your credit score, your family and friends will lend you money based on your character and reliability.
If anything, you could also try to convince your acquaintances to invest in your business, which is another decent strategy if you have bad credit.
The only disadvantage to borrowing money from relatives and friends is that your payment record won't be reported on your credit score.
What Should You Do to Recover Your Credit?
If time doesn't put pressure on you to look for bad credit business loans, you can aim at rebuilding your credit. For starters, it's fundamental to comprehend the way in which your business' credit works. Your credit score monitors each late payment you made, and each loan you have taken out. Apart from that, in the position of an entrepreneur, you are the credit representative of your firm.
On that note, your personal credit score is also an important consideration for lenders and banks alike. The first thing you should do is order a free credit report and make sure that it doesn't contain any errors. If your time is limited, you could ask for the guidance of a professional credit repair company. If not, you can attempt to do it yourself, but it can be a lengthy process.
Although the road to rebuilding your credit is long, it isn't impossible. The key is to stay committed to your goal and start with small, basic steps such as striving to make timely payments each month.
It's logical to take into account all these options and the potential side effects associated with bad credit loans for business. The reasons behind your bad credit are, without a doubt, understandable, as each company faces numerous financial challenges.
Whether you choose to get bad credit business loans or not, your focus should be building your credit, which would open up numerous opportunities for your firm.


The 20th/21st-Century Piano Festival will bring a range of piano students to Grand Valley State University's Sherman Van Solkema Recital Hall Saturday, Oct. 28. There will be recitals throughout the day, beginning at 9 a.m. and continuing into the afternoon, with performances by professors, college students and young performers alike.
This is Cho's third year at GVSU and her third year leading the piano festival, which focuses on music composed in the 20th and 21st centuries.
The festival will also be debuting a brand new piano piece, "Tiny Machines," by Bill Ryan, a GVSU composition professor and director of the New Music Ensemble.
Ryan will be conducting the GVSU New Music Ensemble at the festival.
Ryan believes every performance allows for a unique lesson in audience engagement for the ensemble members.
Cho said the event will also be an opportunity for students to get some feedback.
The 20th/21st-Century Piano Festival will have a wide variety of performance to explore.
"I always hope that we open up people's ears and eyes to what's possible in music," Ryan said.


In the long ago days there was a poor woman who lived at the seaside in a place called Zarephath. She had a little boy to love, but she had no husband to work either for him or for her.
The fields of Zarephath were bare and brown. There had been no rain for so long that the ground was baked hard. Neither corn nor fruits would grow.
The widow of Zarephath had no money and no bread. She had a handful of flour in the barrel, and a little olive-oil in the jar, and that was all. Her little boy and she went out beyond the city gate to look for sticks to make a fire to bake one little cake.
While they were gathering sticks, they saw a stranger coming towards them. He wore a cloak of camel's hair, fastened with a belt of leather. He said to the woman, "Please give me a drink of water."
And she was going to fetch it, he called to her, "Bring me, I beg, a piece of bread in your hand."
The woman knew that his name was Elijah. Now she said to him, "I have no loaf of bread, only a handful of flour in the barrel and a little olive oil in the jar, just enough to make one little cake for my son and myself. After that there will be nothing left."
Elijah said, "Don't be afraid, but make me a little cake first. For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says, 'The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the Lord gives rain on the land.'"
And the kind widow woman lit her fire. She mixed her dough, and baked a little cake of bread. She gave it to Elijah, and lo! in the barrel there was still a handful of flour, and in the jar there was still a little olive oil. She was able to mix a cake for her little boy and herself to eat, and even yet there was more.
She let Elijah, who was God's servant, stay at her house, and she gave him food. While he was there the barrel of flour never became empty, neither did the jar of olive oil fail. There was always enough for her, her son, and for Elijah.

Rory Kinnear - David Whitehead
Rory Kinnear plays journalist David Whitehead and explains why he was interested in the role.
Your character David is a news reporter with a particular interest in Southcliffe. What's his story?
David has spent 25 years suppressing his feelings towards the people of Southcliffe and never forgetting what they did to him and his family. He's never confronted it – to the extent that he drinks heavily, is unfaithful to his wife, and treats news as a commodity of entertainment. He has no compunctions about exploiting and manipulating the emotions of others, until he's finally forced to cover a story that means something to him, that takes place in the town where he grew up.
Did you do anything by way of research into the role? Did you assess the mannerisms and ticks of broadcast journalists, or study the history of mass shootings, for example?
The script was very detailed, and you always have to start from the script, because it tells you what kind of person you're playing. However, my friend's brother is a lead TV reporter, so I asked him about the mundane elements of 'what do you pack when you go away?'
Just in case there were any things we could use to embellish the character further. The guy who plays the cameraman in the drama is in fact a cameraman for news reporters, so he gave us little instructions if anything wasn't ringing true. I also asked my friend's brother about editorial control, about frustrations you find as a journalist and the emotional impact of dealing with things that are very sad. I didn't have to read up much about the history of shootings, because I'm just playing a guy who's sent out to cover this terrible event.
It's not an easy subject matter. Did you have any misgivings about taking it on?
It's a story about a very ordinary community, and how something extraordinary happens to them. I have an interest in the ordinary, and in how people cope with disaster. This story could have been told in such a different, more sensationalist way, but with Tony and Sean I just felt like I was in good hands.
The reality is that there are communities out there that have been affected by tragedies like this. Do you feel a sense of responsibility to get things right as a result?
Tony did a lot of research with people who had been affected by sudden bereavement. You don't want to sensationalise or overly-dramatise for the sake of entertainment. David's an outsider to the community in many ways, so his response is about his own demons rather than necessarily the loss of life or impact in the present day. But you do feel a sense of responsibility, because the programme is essentially a study in grief. I hope that offering this programme up as a well-written and well-directed and hopefully well-acted piece of drama we can hopefully offer solace to anyone suffering bereavement, no matter how it occurs.
Some actors find filming harrowing drama a very emotional experience, others find it cathartic, and others still just treat it as a job and are able to switch it off at the end of the day. Which category do you come into?
I think of myself as the latter category, but you're never aware as an actor what effect your job is having on you. Obviously you need to create a fully-rounded human being and inhabit that part and respond to others and the events around you on screen or on stage. I've often thought that I go into work and portray the grief of a character who's just lost a child or is dealing with some terrible trauma, and then I finish and I go home. But it probably does have a residual effect which you're unable to gauge. Particularly on stage, if you have to do something which is harrowing night after night after night, even though you're tricking your body into believing it, your body still experiences it. Obviously it's not as harrowing as having to go through it in real life, but if you do it well and believe it, and connect to it strongly, then those emotions do feel real. So I see myself as an actor who will just turn up and do my job, but in doing that job, I'm aware that it may leave a residue that you're not really aware of.
Last time you were on Channel 4, you were having sex with a pig. Yours is an odd profession, isn't it?
Indeed, I remember the night before I met my co-star, Marge the pig; I had been performing excerpts of Henry V on the stage of The Royal Albert Hall for one of the Proms, with the BBC Orchestra. The next morning I was shuttled to Buckinghamshire to take my trousers off and simulate the penetration of a pig. It offers wide variety, the life of an actor. In a microcosm of 12 hours, that variety was laid open to me.
What are the roles and projects that have meant the most to you over your career?
My relationships with all of my past productions are constantly changing. There are never any real disappointments, because you'll always learn something or make a friend or have a good time. Southcliffe is probably the thing I've been most interested in seeing, in that period between finishing filming and seeing it, because you do get a sense when something you've made is different or special. And it was nice to see it and have that proved. That said there's always a sense of wanting to move on to the next thing. When you're in something good, it makes you excited about starting a new project. Southcliffe is certainly up at the top in terms of having a wholeness and integrity to it, as well as being very distinctive.

Q: QTimer, Parametrized slot I am writing an app for  relay controller. I have a function that opens/closes relay:
void setRelay(unsigned int relay_number, bool state);

Now I want to make some button to open an relay for lets say 1sek.
I want  to do th sth like this:
void on_button_clicked()
{
    setRelay(1, true);
    QTimer::singleShot(1000,this,SLOT(setRelay(1,false)))
}

Yes, I know that the signals dont work that way.
Is there any way to change the signal emitted from timer, so it will close up an relay. Closest thing I came up is this:
QTimer::singleShot(1000,this,SLOT(relay_1_off()));

and then I have to make a slot per relay to close it:
void relay_1_off(){
    setRelay(1,false);
}

Could it be done without making so many slots, anyone have some more clever way?
Greetings

A: If you are using Qt5 you can use the lambda functions:
void QTimer::singleShot(int msec, Functor functor)
QTimer::singleShot(1000, [&](){
    setRelay(1,false);
});

Why Product Destruction is Crucial for Your Business
When most people think of secure shredding services, they often think about destroying important papers and confidential documents. After all, files and folders often contain sensitive data like account numbers or personal information. Chances are though, there are a number of other items lying around that put your company at risk of a data breach. From products you produce, ship, or manufacture, to staff IDs, uniforms, training manuals, and other proprietary materials, there are a number of things you should think twice about throwing away.
What products put your company at risk?
Your company produces a number of materials that are exclusive to your brand and your business, many of which you would not want to fall into the wrong hands. Obvious items include key cards and ID badges, which could put your physical security at risk, but there are a number of other products that could leave your business vulnerable. Items like blueprints, outdated promotional materials, official packaging, and other branded products could leave you vulnerable to corporate espionage, fraud, or misrepresentation.
Dumpster divers, thieves, and disgruntled employees can all target your business using unsecured products. Whether it's posing as an official representative of your company, or the illicit sale of recalled or damaged products, the risks posed to your business are real. Secure product destruction helps protect your customers from blackmarket resellers, reduces your liability, and offers an extra layer of physical security.
Prevent Unauthorized Access
What happens to company ID badges when employees leave? Where do old uniforms go when they're no longer needed? The dumpster is the last place you want to toss items like these, and after a while, storing things on-site really starts to take up space. Secure product destruction services are the ideal solution to product disposal, and it's the only way to guarantee your unwanted items don't end up in the wrong hands.
Protect your business, and your brand, with routinely scheduled product destruction. Make sure to include all damaged, expired, or defective products, as well as any specialized packaging. Damaged or outdated products that are not destroyed by the manufacturer often end up on the black market. For example, defective products sent to a landfill may be taken out illegally and resold. Because these goods are usually faulty or otherwise substandard, consumers may associate your brand with these low quality or dangerous products. Secure product destruction is one way to protect your brand and prevent unauthorized products from ending up on the market.
Industries that Benefit from Product Destruction Services
Chances are, every business in the San Francisco area has proprietary products that should be shredded instead of tossed. But who really needs secure product shredding?
Manufacturing and Distribution Warehouses: Any time you're producing, storing, or distributing products, you're going to end up with surplus, damaged, recalled, or outdated goods. Instead of letting them pile up, product destruction service can destroy them completely, freeing up space and eliminating the risk of anything ending up on the black market.

Future of Health and Healthcare
We know sound soothes us. But what if it could kill a tumour?
We've always known music is therapeutic, but a new medical technique goes much further
Image: REUTERS/Ruben Sprich
Neal Kassell Chairman, Focused Ultrasound Foundation
Our coalition is making healthcare more valuable for all
Sound has been used for centuries to soothe, treat and heal. An analgesic to some, a mood elevator to others, the use of sound to restore human health has ranged from ancient Tibetan singing bowls to bona fide "sound healers" who treat symptoms of physical and emotional conditions using sound to manipulate brain waves.
But what if sound could destroy a tumor? What if it could treat diseases as diverse as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's; epilepsy; depression; obsessive-compulsive disorder; arthritis; back pain; and tumors of the brain, breast, prostate, liver and pancreas?
It may sound like science fiction or Star Trek to some, but it isn't. Named one of the 50 greatest inventions by TIME magazine, and credited with "changing medicine" by Fortune magazine, focused ultrasound is a new, highly disruptive, game-changing, non-invasive therapeutic technology that has the potential to be as revolutionary to therapy as magnetic resonance scanning (MRI) has been to diagnosis. But it's still early in its development.
How does focused ultrasound work?
The basic principle is similar to using a magnifying glass to focus beams of sunlight on a single point to burn a hole in a leaf. With focused ultrasound, multiple intersecting beams of ultrasound energy are concentrated on a target deep in the body with extreme precision and accuracy (sparing adjacent normal tissue).
Where each individual beam passes through the body there is no effect. But at the focal point where the beams converge, the focused ultrasound energy induces a variety of biologic effects including: destroying tissue, stimulating the body's immune response, and the delivery of drugs. The location of the focal point and the treatment effect is guided and controlled in real time by ultrasound or MRI.
The evidence and the outlook
The science supporting the benefits of focused ultrasound is robust, with hundreds of peer-reviewed journal publications per year including clinical trial data in prestigious medical journals such as the New England Journal of Medicine and The Lancet. This data has provided safety and efficacy evidence leading to 22 regulatory approvals around the world to date, including five by the US Food and Drug Administration, with more than 75 additional clinical indications in various (mostly early) stages of development.

Focused ultrasound is a powerful treatment method that provides an alternative or adjunct to surgery, radiation therapy, drug delivery and cancer immunotherapy. It is already transforming treatment, improving outcomes and decreasing the cost of care for a number of conditions.
For example, the US FDA recently approved FUS to treat essential tremor, a neurological disorder. This marked the first brain indication for the technology in the US and a welcome, non-invasive alternative to intrusive Deep Brain Stimulation – based on clinical trial data showing a nearly 50% improvement in tremor and motor function in patients three months after FUS treatment, with 40% retaining improvement after one year (patients in the control group experienced no improvement at all).
More than 150 ET patients have now been successfully treated to date, and focused ultrasound centers worldwide are reporting a backlog of several hundred patients desiring FUS.
Focused ultrasound is also an attractive treatment for women with uterine fibroids (approved for this use in the US in 2004). A nationwide study of nearly 1,000 American fibroid sufferers – published in the October 2013 issues of both the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Journal of Women's Health – found that when presented with fibroid treatment descriptions, the majority surveyed (60%) rated focused ultrasound as their top treatment choice. Women often cite the rapid return to normal activity, no incision or hospital stay, and minimal complications as benefits of the treatment. To date, FUS has been performed on more than 72,000 women with fibroids worldwide.
While the pace of research is rapidly accelerating, and momentum for the entire field is growing, there is an enormous amount of work to be done, and many barriers to overcome, before focused ultrasound becomes a standard of care where it can help millions of patients.
Still years from now, when the potential of focused ultrasound is realized and it becomes a mainstream therapy, it will result in a change in treatment paradigms and health policy that will affect countless patients around the globe.

Before the beginning of the game, all the players are divided into two teams: "VAMPIRES" and "ZOMBIES".
The killed players in each team have so-called revive cooldown. It means that after being killed and revived the player changes the team to the opposite. If the player was a Vampire and was killed by Zombie, he will be reborn as a Zombie and vice versa if a Zombie player was killed by Vampire he will be reborn as a Vampire.
The more enemies you kill, the more new players you get in your team, and each death in your team increases enemy team. The game is running until one team completely absorbs their enemy.
This game scenario is available only for X-Generation taggers and can be started either from online configurator software or you using your special command from Remote Control Pro devices.

Q: How to use upper_bound with a vector of pairs, arranged in increasing order of pair.second, and then pair.first? I use the following comparator function to sort my vector of pairs.
bool sortbysec(const pair<long long,long long> &a,
          const pair<long long,long long> &b)
{
    if(a.second < b.second)
    {
        return true;
    }
    else if(a.second==b.second)
    {
        if(a.first<b.first)
        {
            return true;
        }
    }

    return false;
}

Now I would like to do upper_bound on pair.second with a given value. How do I write it's comparator function, so that I can get the first pair where second = second element, and first shall be the lowest?
Thanks.

A: You want std::lower_bound, not upper_bound. Something like this:
auto iter = std::lower_bound(
    your_contaner.begin(),
    your_contaner.end(),
    lookup_second,
    [](const std::pair<long long,long long>& p, long long second) {
      return p.second < second;
    }
);
if (iter != your_contaner.end() && iter->second == lookup_second) {
  // `iter` points to an element with given `second` and smallest `first`.
  // Otherwise, there's no element with given `second`, and `iter` points
  // to the leftmost larger element, or `end()`.
}

Alumni Spotlight: Miranda Summers Lowe '01
Home ▸ Alumni Affairs ▸ Alumni Spotlight: Miranda Summers Lowe '01
Miranda Summers Lowe, IASMH Class of 2001
Miranda Summers Lowe is an Army Public Affairs officer living in Washington, DC. She has a bachelor's degree from the College of William and Mary (2006) and a Master's Degree from Brown University (2009).
Miranda graduated from the Indiana Academy in 2001. She came to the Academy out of family tradition (her mother was involved with the school as a professor in the Ball State Teacher's College and her brother is also an alum).
She credits the Academy with giving her the opportunity to take classes in Russian and Military History, which would become the focus of her higher education. "I took AP Calculus and Physics and it was absolutely the wrong fit for me. One day I went back to my dorm and threw away the college applications I'd started for engineering schools and switched into additional history and literature classes. I got to college at least a year ahead of my peers in those areas, and I'm so grateful that I didn't have to pay—financially or emotionally—for those mistakes in college."
Burris/Academy sports also played a huge role. She participated in track, cross-country, basketball and the inaugural Burris Dazzlers Dance Team. "I got to the Academy with a sound mind, but not a sound body. I see so many of my classmates through the years who have these great minds, but they are physically too weak, or plagued by preventable diseases, to bring the full benefit of that intelligence to the world. At my home high school, sports were something for a few elite kids who had been training since elementary school. At the Academy, I could try anything that interested me. Burris/Academy athletics taught me to do things for myself and not for a letter jacket. It was the first thing I ever had to do at school that was really, truly hard. It taught me to do the hard things and fail, again and again, and continue to be the first one at practice the next day. I never would have been able to make a career in the military if I hadn't had the chance to learn that lesson. Not only that, but taught me not to shy away from physical challenges just because I'd been pegged early as the smart kid and not the athletic kid. I've had the stamina to do things like run a marathon in Paris and climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. It's an amazing gift."
"The military always interested me, but my parents, teachers and peers alike all seemed to agree that it wasn't the place for the intelligent people." She started at George Washington University in Washington, DC. A month into classes, the September 11th attacks took place. "People had said, 'Finish your college first, the military will be there later.' All of a sudden I thought they'd gotten it turned around. The military needed people at that moment, and seriously, colleges had been around for a while and were going to be there later. I took a year off of school, joined the National Guard and went through basic training."
She found out that the National Guard would pay 100% tuition for any state school, and transferred to the College of William and Mary. "The Guard paid tuition, books, and a monthly stipend to work two days a month. I don't think that I've seen an academic scholarship that good." Without having to work, she was able to hold a leadership position in her Sorority and participate in other campus activities.
"Of course that came with a price—an obligation. When my National Guard unit was called up to go to Iraq in 2005, it was the middle of my senior year. I was able to work it out with my college professors to take incompletes and finish my last semester from Iraq."
While in Iraq, Miranda worked as a supply sergeant and was tasked to additional duties as a Black Hawk helicopter door gunner. Her story became part of the book As You Were by Washington Post reporter Christian Davenport.
Within weeks of her return, she got her acceptance letter for graduate school at Brown University, and because of the GI Bill, she was able to attend. While at Brown, Miranda participated in a cultural exchange with the Chinese University of Hong Kong and intern at Harpers Ferry National Park, the Naval War College and The National Museum of American History at the Smithsonian Institution.
She was selected for Officer Candidate School and commissioned as an army officer. She has attended the Military Intelligence Officer Basic School and the Public Affairs Qualification Course.
While serving as a public affairs officer for the D.C. National Guard, she has traveled to Cameroon to participate in a public affairs workshop with 16 African nations, worked with Jamaica to create a joint museum exhibit, served as a public affairs officer at the 57th Presidential Inauguration Commander-in-Chief ball, stood on the field during Washington Nationals games and flown in a helicopter above the National Mall while the Cherry Blossoms were in bloom.
She also holds the title of command historian and was responsible for curating the newly opened D.C. National Guard museum. She's also worked to write a pocket history booklet for D.C. National Guardsmen and a short documentary film. "There are a lot of academic types in the military. The old stereotypes just haven't been true. It's been a fantastic opportunity to work as a historian in a place where what I do is used and valued."
When not at work, Miranda lives on Capitol Hill with her husband, Justin, and Bernese Mountain Dog, Laika. She volunteers with Horton's Kids, a nonprofit for at-risk youth, serves on the board of the Anne S.K. Brown military collection and is a member of the Junior League.
