•A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know.
•I always thought of photography as a naughty thing to do - that was one of my favorite things about it, and when I first did it, I felt very perverse.
•I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn't photograph them.
•I work from awkwardness. By that I mean I don't like to arrange things. If I stand in front of something, instead of arranging it, I arrange myself.
•Love involves a peculiar unfathomable combination of understanding and misunderstanding.
•Men are but children of a larger growth, Our appetites as apt to change as theirs, And full as craving too, and full as vain.
•My favorite thing is to go where I've never been.
•Nothing is ever the same as they said it was.
•Regardless of how you feel inside, always try to look like a winner. Even if you are behind, a sustained look of control and confidence can give you a mental edge that results in victory.
•The more specific you are, the more general it'll be.
•There's a quality of legend about freaks. Like a person in a fairy tale who stops you and demands that you answer a riddle.
•The world can only be grasped by action, not by contemplation. The hand is the cutting edge of the mind.
•When you grow up your mother says, 'Wear rubbers or you'll catch cold.' When you become an adult you discover that you have the right not to wear rubbers and to see if you catch cold or not. It's something like that.
•You see someone on the street, and essentially what you notice about them is the flaw.
•If I were just curious, it would be very hard to say to someone, "I want to come to your house and have you talk to me and tell me the story of your life." I mean people are going to say, "You're crazy." Plus they're going to keep mighty guarded. But the camera is a kind of license. A lot of people, they want to be paid that much attention and that's a reasonable kind of attention to be paid.
• There are always two things that happen. One is recognition and the other is that it's totally peculiar. But there's some sense in which I always identify with them.
• The thing that's important to know is that you never know. You're always sort of feeling your way.
• I always thought of photography as a naughty thing to do -- that was one of my favorite things about it, and when I first did it, I felt very perverse.
• I never have taken a picture I've intended. They're always better or worse.
• It's important to take bad pictures. It's the bad ones that have to do with what you've never done before. They can make you recognize something you hadn't seen in a way that will make you recognize it when you see it again.
• There are things which nobody would see unless I photographed them.
• Everybody has that thing where they need to look one way but they come out looking another way and that's what people observe. You see someone on the street and essentially what you notice about them is the flaw.
• I work from awkwardness. By that I mean I don't like to arrange things. If I stand in front of something, instead of arranging it, I arrange myself.
• One thing I would never photograph is a dog lying in the mud.
• My favorite thing is to go where I've never been.
• Freaks was a thing I photographed a lot. It was one of the first things I photographed and it had a terrific kind of excitement for me. I just used to adore them. I still do adore some of them. I don't quite mean they're my best friends but they made me feel a mixture of shame and awe.
• Most people go through life dreading they'll have a traumatic experience. Freaks were born with their trauma. They've already passed their test in life. They're aristocrats.
• Nothing is easier than self-deceit. For what each man wishes, that he also believes to be true.
• It gets to seem as if way back in the Garden of Eden after the Fall, Adam and Eve had begged the Lord to forgive them and He, in his boundless exasperation, had said, ''All right, then. Stay. Stay in the Garden. Get civilized. Procreate. Muck it up.'' And they did.

Ironman Australia
Ironman Australia: 30 Years Of Excellence In Triathlon
Have you got what it takes to compete against the best?
In the world of triathlon one event remains synonymous with excellence: the Ironman Australia.
It is one of a series of qualifying events held worldwide that give aspiring participants a chance to compete in the prestigious Ironman World Championships in Hawaii.
"Ironman" itself has become an iconic global brand; the standard by which other triathlons are measured against.
2016 Ironman Australia winner Tim Reed said the training and preparation for an Ironman triathlon is different and more challenging.
It's not just the physical aspect but the mental and emotional aspects as well.
For competitors like Reed the objective for participating in Ironman Australia was to qualify for the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii.
Who Qualifies For The Ironman?
The Ironman World Championships in Hawaii remains the most prestigious race in triathlon.
To qualify for the world championships, races are staged in different countries around the world.
These countries include:
• The United States
• Australia
• Brazil
• Japan
• New Zealand
• Malaysia
• Taiwan
In Australia, the Ironman is run in three locations:
Ironman Australia– Port Macquarie, New South Wales, Australia
Ironman Asia-Pacific Championship – Cairns, Queensland, Australia
Iron Man Western Australia – Busselton, Western Australia
If you are a professional, you can qualify for the world championships though a points-based system.
There are also slots allocated for the world championships for amateurs who finish high in their age group.
Ironman Australia as with other Ironman series events has a strict finishing time of 17 hours.
The race usually starts at 7:00am with the mandatory cut off time for the swim portion at 9:20am or a qualifying time of 2 hours and 20 minutes.
Mandatory cut – off time for the bike race is at 5:30pm or 8 hours and 10 minutes.
Lastly, the mandatory cut-off time for the marathon is 12:00am or 6 hours and 30 minutes.
Anyone who finishes the Ironman within these periods will become an Ironman.
The Ironman Australia Triathlon Series
The Ironman series arrived in Australia in 1985; a good 30 years ago. The inaugural event was held in Forster-Tuncurry.
Train hard, eat well and get your rest for Ironman events
There were only 165 participants in the race. In 1986 the Ironman attracted 289 participants and it has been steadily growing every year since then.
In 2006, Ironman Australia found a new home in Port Macquarie, New South Wales which is four hours north of Sydney.
The course covers the following route:
Swim- 3.8 km; features a rolling swim start 1lap course in the Hastings River between Mainland and Pelican Island.
Bike – 180 km; features a 2 lap course from Port Macquarie along the Pacific Ocean and Camden Haven.
Run – 42 km; 4 lap course heading east past the rock wall before Settlement Point and finishing in Port Macquarie.
The event has 55 qualifying slots for the world championships in Hawaii.
Are You Ready To Complete In Ironman Australia?
If you plan to join Ironman Australia but you are not sure how to prepare for it, Ironman Australia has an "Ironman University".
This is where interested participants sign up and learn about developing training plans, sports nutrition, event preparation plus techniques and tips to improve your times in swimming, cycling and running.
There are also smaller races available in Ironman Australia. These are called "Ironman 70.3" which uses a shorter course.
The Ironman Australia 70.3 in Sydney has the following course:
Swim- 1.9 km; This one lap swim is located in the man-made Penrith Lake which was home to the 2000 Sydney Olympics regatta. The rectangular course starts and finishes in front of the grandstand.
Bike- 90 km; Participants will be treated to a scenic view of the Blue Mountains and through the countryside. The road surfaces are smooth which sets good conditions for registering fast times.
Run- 21.1; This 2 lap run course goes around Penrith Lake. The course heads out and back around the perimeter of the lakes on the inner footpath
Contrary to popular opinion, training for Ironman Australia may not be as long and tedious as you believe.
Many participants in Ironman Australia share that they spend no more than 10 hours training time per week to get ready for an Ironman Australia 70.3 event and 15 hours training time per week for the regular Ironman Australia.
The average training cycle suggested for an Ironman Australia is 3 months.
Assuming you follow your training program and nutrition plan strictly, you should be able to cross the finish line without problem.
So if you have what it takes to drag your body through 17 hours of swimming, biking and running join the Ironman Australia triathlon?

I see this one as a cavern with a small spotlight from the top being the only light within. It was believed nothing could live between a certain depth or temperature until life was discovered under an Atlantic ice sheet. Bacteria and microbes already on the film or transferred from my hands could have had their own environment within this small 4x5" space that slowly froze. Did they die, did they simply hibernate then awoke in the cavern days later?

Roberto Mario "Robert" Fano (11 November 1917 – 13 July 2016) was an Italian-American computer scientist and professor of electrical engineering and computer science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He became a student and working lab partner to Claude Shannon, whom he admired zealously and assisted in the early years of Information Theory.

Early life and education
Fano was born in Turin, Italy in 1917 to a Jewish family and grew up in Turin. Fano's father was the mathematician Gino Fano, his older brother was the physicist Ugo Fano, and Giulio Racah was a cousin.  Fano studied engineering as an undergraduate at the School of Engineering of Torino (Politecnico di Torino) until 1939, when he emigrated to the United States as a result of anti-Jewish legislation passed under Benito Mussolini.  He received his S.B. in electrical engineering from MIT in 1941, and upon graduation joined the staff of the MIT Radiation Laboratory.  After World War II, Fano continued on to complete his Sc.D. in electrical engineering from MIT in 1947. His thesis, titled "Theoretical Limitations on the Broadband Matching of Arbitrary Impedances", was supervised by Ernst Guillemin.

Career
Fano's career spans three areas, microwave systems, information theory, and computer science.

Fano joined the MIT faculty in 1947 to what was then called the Department of Electrical Engineering.  Between 1950 and 1953, he led the Radar Techniques Group at Lincoln Laboratory. In 1954, Fano was made an IEEE Fellow for "contributions in the field of information theory and microwave filters". He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1958, to the National Academy of Engineering in 1973, and to the National Academy of Sciences in 1978.

Fano was known principally for his work on information theory.  He developed Shannon–Fano coding in collaboration with Claude Shannon, and derived the Fano inequality. He also invented the Fano algorithm and postulated the Fano metric.

In the early 1960s, Fano was involved in the development of time-sharing computers. From 1963 until 1968 Fano served as the founding director of MIT's Project MAC, which evolved to become what is now known as the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. He also helped to create MIT's original computer science curriculum.

In 1976, Fano received the Claude E. Shannon Award for his work in information theory. In 1977 he was recognized for his contribution to the teaching of electrical engineering with the IEEE James H. Mulligan Jr. Education Medal.

Fano retired from active teaching in 1984, and died on 13 July 2016 at the age of 98.

Bibliography
In addition to his work in information theory, Fano also published articles and books about microwave systems, electromagnetism, network theory, and engineering education.  His longer publications include:

"The Theory of Microwave Filters" and "The Design of Microwave Filters", chapters 9 and 10 in George L. Ragan, ed., Microwave Transmission Circuits, vol. 9 in the Radiation Laboratory Series (with A. W. Lawson, 1948).
Electromagnetic Energy Transmission and Radiation (with Lan Jen Chu and Richard B. Adler, 1960).

In this example, we will learn to configure Spring MVC and Hibernate with JPA along with few other things e.g. validation and custom property editors. I have been asked quite enough times to write this tutorial in past, so here it is. Feel free to post your doubts, comments and suggestions. If you want to learn about using hibernate's session factory then you may want to read Spring and hibernate integration tutorial.
This demo application is an employee management screen which lists down all employee records in database, and a form which you can use to add more employees. There is validation functionality added to form, so if you try to add empty form then you will get validation errors. To store the record in database, Hibernate JPA implementation is used. Front end is implemented using Spring MVC.
This file is center piece of application and require your most attention.
<!-- JpaVendorAdapter implementation for Hibernate EntityManager.
<!-- This transaction manager is appropriate for applications that use a single JPA EntityManagerFactory for transactional data access.
Let's note down few important points.
context:component-scan : register the beans in context; and it also scans the annotations inside beans and activate them. So context:component-scan does what context:annotation-config does, but additionally it scan the packages and register the beans in application context.
mvc:annotation-driven : tag essentially sets you your Spring context to allow for dispatching requests with annotated controller methods using annotations such as @RequestMapping, @ExceptionHandler, and others.
InternalResourceViewResolver : view template decides that which view should be rendered based on returned logical view name by mapping the logical view names to directly view files under a certain pre-configured directory.
entityManagerFactoryBean : LocalEntityManagerFactoryBean produces an application-managed EntityManagerFactory whereas LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean produces a container-managed EntityManagerFactory. It supports links to an existing JDBC DataSource, supports both local and global transactions.
JpaTransactionManager : This transaction manager is appropriate for applications that use a single JPA EntityManagerFactory for transactional data access. JTA (usually through JtaTransactionManager) is necessary for accessing multiple transactional resources within the same transaction. Note that you need to configure your JPA provider accordingly in order to make it participate in JTA transactions. Of course, JtaTransactionManager does require a full JTA-supporting application server, rather than a vanilla servlet engine like Tomcat.
tx:annotation-driven : enable the configuration of transactional behavior based on annotations e.g. @Transactional. The @EnableTransactionManagement annotation provides equivalent support if you are using Java based configuration. To do this. simply add the annotation to a @Configuration class.
Next important classes are DAO classes which use the entity manager to perform CRUD operations using hibernate entities, and specifying methods which support transactions through @Transactional annotation. In our case, we have applied @Transactional annotation at class level, making all public methods transactional.
@PersistenceContext expresses a dependency on a container-managed EntityManager and its associated persistence context. @Repository is usually applied on DAO layer.
The last thing, you should be interested in this example is maven dependencies for spring, hibernate and JPA extension. Here are all dependencies for this example.
Now list down, other files also which are used in this example.
Please feel free to comment with your questions and suggestions.
Is there any other configuration for newer version of the Hibernate ?
where i can find database schema?
Hi Mirek, you where 's the database schema ?
if it is container-managed EntityManagerFactory shouldn't we use jndi ?
Hi, Could you please provide me the URL to access this application? I have set up the Database and started the server. The server started with out any errors.
Check if all class files are generated in target folder – including config xml files.
Please fix my problem.It i not creating table as well.
This is where i made change spring-servlet.xml file.
From message it looks like – application itself is not not deployed on tomcat. Verify the target folder to see if all the .class files are generated and .xml files are copied into it.
Now It is running but in this example there is no department conroller,in order to add employee i need to first fill the department then only i can add employee.But I am not able to get department controller.
Better, now you can take a lead and write the controller. For this example, I had added departments in backend directly.
Exception is : Caused by: java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind.
Some other process is already using the port where you want to run your server. Find the process – kill it, or restart the system.
Thanks for the article. It's nice to see all configurations in one go.
One question. What's the need to write CRUD operations when extending CrudRepository is sufficient?
Hi Samir, excellent observation !! You are right, in this case we can use CrudRepository as well. But in practice, I prefer to not to use it. Writing DAO classes helps me having more control on method signatures (e.g. return types) and not providing un-necessary operations for some entities.
Again it's matter for choice.
Values are not coming in Department's drop down menu. I debugged, Controller's initBinder() is getting invoked but DepartmentEditor's setAsText() is not getting invoked.
In mysqlworkbench I granted the user to everything, no help. Btw, when I try to get in to app with http://localhost:8080/springjpaexample/, it goes to index.jsp. Should it go automatically to list view and if yes, what might be wrong? If no, what is the direct link to employee view? Thanks for good tutorial!
1) Please make sure you can used correct DB schema name as well. I used "test".
Really Nice Article …plz provide is DepartmentEditor.java file and please clarify about ConstraintViolation inside controller .
Lookout for generated files in classes folder. Some/All of them must be missing.
What IDE do you use? Lookout for project build issues e.g. java version mismatch.
Delete all files in classes folder, and generate them again.
You can verify all the files are generated or not.. by comparing war file attached in download section.
Thanks for this excellent tutorial !!!
Values aren't coming in the drop down box. I tried to make my code from your code, no values in drop down list. i also try to compile your code still no value in drop down. Please suggest what is the issue ?
I will request you debug the application at your end. See if values are coming till controller/ or failing in view layer. If there is no exception, how could possibly I help?
Really a Nice tutorial !
I was trying to implement the "delete" logic with this code but facing difficulty. Would you please help me in this ? Thanks.
I am trying to implement without using session.
I am not able to view the Employee IDS in the drop down of the view.

EU announces restrictions on new pesticide over potential harm to bees
Chad Taylor | April 16, 2022 | Agriculture, Climate, Food, News | No Comments
The EU has announced that it plans to restrict the use of the pesticide sulfoxaflor following concerns over the effects it could have on bees.
Sulfoxaflor was originally developed by agrochemical giant Corteva to be a safer alternative to neonicotinoids – a controversial type of pesticide that's associated with bee decline.
The pesticide was approved in Europe in 2015. However, just seven years later, it will be restricted to indoor use only after a report by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) found that there was insufficient evidence to confirm the safety of bees.
In the report, it was noted that: "for the field and non‐permanent structure greenhouses, a high risk to honeybees and bumblebees was identified related to some pertinent scenarios", but "a low risk was concluded for honeybees, bumblebees and solitary bees in case of permanent structure greenhouse provided the low exposure in such scenarios."
The changes to the regulations are due to be implemented in the coming months. But, this decision has not gone down well with the US.
Officials have allegedly sent a letter of complaint to the World Trade Organization as the pesticide is commonly used in the US, and this restriction would mean goods it is used on wouldn't be able to be exported going forward.
A representative from manufacturer Corteva also said in an interview that the company is "deeply disappointed" by the decision to restrict the use of sulfoxaflor, as the chemical is designed to meet strict European requirements for protecting pollinators.
The representative also questioned the EU's decision to ban the product "regardless of their demonstrated safety and without considering risk mitigation measures and the consequences for European farmers and food security."
However, Martin Dermine, from Pesticide Action Network Europe noted, "Back in 2015, it was crystal clear that this substance posed an enormous risk to EU pollinators," and that the Commission shouldn't have approved it.

I attended seminars, I read books, I listened to tapes, I 'changed my mind-set' but I still didn't know exactly HOW to organize goals..
Finally, almost reluctantly, I sat in my garden under a warm summer, the breeze rustling the leaves of a tree, and I actually began to write down my own understanding of goal setting.
I realized that goal setting is really about how to organize goals.
3 levels of true goal setting (how to organize goals) are revealed in this 10 minute read.
I mean, think about this.
If you've read about goal setting before, has it ever been defined for you?
How would YOU define goal setting?
My short definition is: to organize [tag]goals[/tag].
Goals are: Things we want. Right?
Now suddenly, for me atleast, that took on a whole new meaning to my approach with goals.
What can I do to organize myself and thing around me so I can get what I want.
I needed to get organized, and I would achieve my goals.
Goal Setting became learning how to [/tag]organize life[/tag], [tag]organize time[/tag], and [tag]organize now[/tag], etc.
But there was definitely another important factor..
I further realized that we already have a ton of goals.
Every habit is a goal. Every choice (including bad ones and ones that waste our time/money/etc) depends on some kind of goal from our inner mind.
The many goals we already have come from our deepest convictions, hang-ups, beliefs, and perspectives.
To really organize goals we have to be conscious of all of them, and we have to understand the ways in which they conflict with each other.
When you understand this article you will organize goals consciously and more thoroughly.
Under that summer warmth, by writing all these ideas down, I discovered 3 levels of how to organize goals which will give you very deep control of organizing your life for what you want to get out of it.
Identify all the things that naturally pull your attention, that attract you towards them in some way, including things that you do not want to consider as 'chosen goals' such as 'watching the game ', computer games, TV infomercial channels, time at the pub, etc.
You need to be brutally honest with yourself by actually writing all this down. By committing things to paper, magic will happen. If you are skeptical, try it.
If you do not try it, remember that I hereby tell you that not writing things down on paper is probably one of your biggest causes of failure.
And if you are not in the habit of writing things down. I bet that you are failing in many areas of life.
Now, this list of 'attractive' things, those things that pull at your time and attention, are all goals.
They are your subconscious, habitual, goals.
Organize Goals Consciously by writing them all down on paper.
Warning: When many people list their goals, it is a wish list of things they would love to have but generally think are a long shot. They don't really have confident positive expectation of them coming true. This sabotages the minds function of achieving and learning to genuinely organize goals.
A mixture is needed. Some goals that seem a bit pie in the sky right now, and other goals that seem highly doable.
Ultimately, to organize goals, means to manage projects.
That is what goals should really be about, i.e. organizing projects and next step actions for each project, and then scheduling those next step actions. This is the only way to organize goals to achieve them.
Create a large list of all the things you would love to do, have, be, and get done in your life, now and any time in the future.
Take each item on that list, one by one, and add the detail of what would need to exist and what would need to be done, for each project.
I will keep this brief, but the last two points are very important. To organize goals you must create each one as a project and identify the next step actions for each goal/project, and be absolutely sure to write it all down on paper or type it on computer.
E.g. A goal such as 'get a promotion at work' will sink into nothing unless you identify the sorts of things, the steps that you can take, to move closer and closer to that possibility.
Are you now ready to achieve those goals you have organized?
You now need to develop the willingness to act on those next step actions you identified in organize goals level 2.
Setting short term commitments to stay mindful of what is on your goals lists, and then scheduling the next step actions, will allow you to achieve your goals.
Again, it's a topic that some people cringe at until they experience the effects of the organize goals levels 1 and 2 first.
You can not put time commitments on goals with confidence and satisfaction unless organize goals by first identifying the individual little steps that you would need to take.
Using 'to do lists' are vital to organize goals, and once you have achieved organize goals levels 1 and 2 you will enjoy using to-do lists more than ever before. And what's more is that they will finally work well for you.
Simply take your next step activities from organize goals level 2 and select some of those next steps to make a to-do list.
Based on this article can you now organize goals better than before?
You and I know the countless people that attend personal development seminars to get excited and do some goal setting, but without the structure to organize goals as in this article, 80% of their good intentions become forgotten intentions and niggling frustrations.
Now you can feel good about goal setting.
and finally schedule manageable next step action goals.
These are timeless principles for how to Organize Goals.

After you've discovered how to get organized now, you then lay down your life direction road-maps. Only then can you effectively organize your life. From that position you can develop your natural time management system. Those are the first 4 stages of the Efficiency X-Factor.
The 5th and final stage of the personal Efficiency X-Factor concerns much more closely the human condition of battling effort with laziness, mental skill and flexibility with ignorant narrow minded irrationality. A common label is Mind Power. But of course deep mind power is not common.
First to develop Mind Power of course requires going through the first 4 stages as above for Efficiency X-Factor. Beyond that, or at any stage during that development you feel explorative enough, The 9 Secret Principles of Mind Power will show you a breathtaking vision of the profits of living with a pure and powerful mind, anchored to reality by honest and hard hitting principles, you are taking control of your success.
From that foundation comes the 9 mind controllers. 9 explorations of 9 parts of your conscious mind that together form the ability to control your mind, which controls your actions, which controls your success and happiness.
This is where we are heading in this section of Organized Living. A step beyond 'getting organized' or 'time management' into the actual dynamic processes going on inside your mind right now, every minute, drawing you ever more efficiently towards success, or not.
Once you have got the The 9 Secret Principles of Mind Power, the 10 Mind Controllers will be made available to you.
I feel like writing. Haven't for a while now. Been scrambling to pull some projects together and not made room for new writing.
So this is for me as much for you. To touch base on the ideas of Self-Leadership with Mind Power, Mind Control, and Personal Success.
Since the age of 11 I have been mind-mapping. By age 16 I was revising my entire school Science exam syllabus in 20 minutes every day for a month before the exam. I got an A. Double AA actually as it was a double size course so we got 2 grades for it. But other exams I didn't do so well in. English they never taught us a thing. Hence my dodgy grammar.
My mind-mapping has grown along with my mind power and mind control.
A [tag]Self-Leader[/tag] integrates the work of others into his own model of success. [tag]Neo-Tech[/tag] gave me the term Self-Leader.
A Self-Leader protects the use of his time. Time becomes the utmost precious commodity besides conscious life itself.
A time management system allows mind power to shine. The skill of knowing how to organize allows mind power to shine. And it goes on. There are 5 stages of organized living. Mind Power is the final stage.
Last year in August 2006 I discovered a pattern in dozens of my computer stored mind-maps that led to a new re-organization of some big areas in personal success.
And honestly, I've been trying to pull things together enough so that I could begin releasing those 9 mind controllers in a business way, which means profitable for me, and as valuable to you as I can.
And first, make sure you have the 9 secret principles of mind power so you are primed and pumped ready for the 9 mind controllers.
We are heading into a new ear which I've dubbed the Efficiency Age.? The revolution into an efficient world supercedes the industrial revolution, technological revolution, information age and communication age of the Internet.? But knowledge and communication is no longer the weakest link in the chain.
The new weakest link is how to use our wealth of information and ease of communication.? To stream line our lives. To be independent of lies from governments, religions, corrupt businesses, etc.? To stand as sovereign self-leaders in a new bright world of modern freedom.? To choose the lifestyle that you want.? All this requires a central focus.? Efficiency.
There will be mind-maps revealing incredible work into the human field of [tag]mind power[/tag] and [tag]mind control[/tag].
Organize Skills are important aren't they?
In fact they may be of the most highly important skills we can possibly have for our success in all areas of life, right?
I was terribly frustrated with my self and life and made the resolve to learn organize skills to straighten out my ENTIRE life.
This proved to be a marathon in itself, whilst I continued to juggle my life.
But I was obsessed to find the solution, because without awesome organize skills, everything that I did would be inferior, and for the sake of finding and learning good organize skills I would be able to do EVERYTHING better for my entire life in every area.
It actually took me 7 years to complete my research and before I reveal the 3 critical organize skills, I want to strongly emphasize that you have the absolute most important organize skill already.
It is the key organize skill that I teach my clients to create a lifetime habit out of.
Captured in just three words..
I'm telling you, this is the very TOP organize skill you can have. Don't reject or neglect it because of it's simplicity.
Grab on to this one idea and you will soon be able to organize a wedding whilst standing in front of a tiger.
Well, who would want to?
But the key here is that the elite of the elite get into this habit.
Commit to paper all inspiration, every 'must do that' thought, and all good ideas that are picked up from day to day.
Keep a sheet of paper and pen with you at all times.
Intuition / creativity (whatever you want to call it) will rise and grow by making a habit of this king of all organize skills.
Applying this concept of thinking on paper is more important for your organize skills than even the following 3 cherished core organize skills that I am about to reveal.
Please do not forget to always, always, think on paper.
This is the skill of asking questions.
Everything comes from asking questions.
Rudyard Kipling illustrates this with his famous 6 Honest Men.
The technical words here are differentiation (finding differences), and integration (finding similarities and connections).
What is the most effective thing to do in this situation?
Is that correct to my honest assessment of reality?
If this was better, what would be different?
What other questions could I ask?
This is about using organize skill 1, and applying it to prepare and structure everything that you do.
It is essentially an extension of the same thing. A continuation where action is now applied to what we have identified.
To develop your organize skills for learning how to organize I obviously would suggest that you make good and full use of the OrganizeDr website.
Execution is the 3rd of my 3 core organize skills.
No we're not going to hire a hit man to 'get the job done'. Execution is that final moment of action that completes a definite step towards a goal. Like an executable EXE computer file, you activate it, and it executes the instructions that have been carefully organized by the programmer.
The skill of executing a task is about that precise moment in time in which we gather the willingness to act on something.
To control thought in such a way that we direct it to activate our body so that something gets done. If it is a step towards a desire, it has to be done, regardless of whether we enjoy the task or not.
My highest recommendation for organize skills is to think on paper.
Get into the habit of writing down your ideas, things to remember, inspirations, and anything at all that weighs on your mind.
Through that process, all other organize skills for your entire life will unfold with time.
The 3 core organize skills to stay aware of and develop are Identification, Organization, and Execution.
Funny how we can pick up all sorts of free tips or books or tape programs on goal setting and the like yet we still never really feel totally sure of how to organize everything.
I discovered why that is.
Goal Setting is a very inspirational and beautiful subject, useful for stimulating public training seminars, and motivating audio programs.
Learning how to organize everything is a far more 'boring' topic for most, and so it has not really been well developed outside of corporate business structure.
But for me personally, starting in 1995, I became obsessed with what it would be like to organize everything so that my life (including those goals) could function at a fast pace, fun, exciting, yet completely successfully in terms of my big desires, as well as not wasting ti me muddling about with things that weren't organized.
Think of your own situation as a case in point.
It's time to go to the bank. Is everything you need in 1 place that you can find and pick up in 30 seconds, or is everything in 3 places, that you need to hunt for a little bit, and so take 5 minutes to get ready?
That applies to doing anything. Shopping for clothes, groceries, going to work.
You want to organize everything, right?
Create a quiet space and time to think about things that ARE currently organized now.
What is currently well organized?
In the past few days what have I done super efficiently?
It is necessary to support the mind in becoming fully organized. Readers who skip Stage 1 end up coming back to Stage 1 having not made significant progress with any other stage. So get ahead now and do Stage 1 first.
Why did that go well?
What about that had organize everything status?
Ok, once you have developed so me of that mindfulness you can then begin drilling down into deeper waters.
If I had true 100% [tag]organize everything[/tag] status, what would that really look like in my life? What would be absolutely the best most ideal scenario of personal organization?
What can be organized next?
Write down on paper (or type to computer) but don't just think it, ink it! (in so me form) everything, and I do me an EVERYTHING that co me s to mind relevant to you getting to organize everything status.
Give your possessions (including bank papers, garden equipment.. everything) there own special 'ho me ' so that you do not waste time finding them, ever..
Then you must beco me diligent about how little ti me it could take you to accomplish each activity if you had 'organize everything' status.
I am certain that if you regularly spend ti me going over these 5 stages to organize everything, you will see astonishing positive results quickly. Just from this little article of tips. That should add great confidence for you that you really can, eventually, organize everything.
Well, it took me fully 7 years to learn how, and that included reading and listening to every book and tape I could find on the various topics of time management, life management, personal organization, etc.
And that's just the daily havoc. At some point you might have enough time and emotional energy to think about the longer term… about how to really organize your life for long-term satisfaction beyond the daily grind.
Do you know where your life is headed? Happy with that so far? Waiting for the right time, place and money to be able to really get your life headed in better directions?
Well now you can pick up my Free report called Life Direction Road-Map Workshops that show you the phases of how to rapidly yet thoroughly create road-maps for your life that you can hold in awe in your hands, glancing over just 3 sheets of paper that show you everything going on in your life. Curious? You should be. You'll soon have it.
Contribute more to community, friends, family, organizations, etc.
Discover for yourself right now a re-released secret system that's so simple yet so thorough for how to organize your life.
When you divide organized living intelligently, 5 core levels emerge. And here they are presented for the first time in the diagram.
The foundation of [tag]organized living[/tag] is knowing how to organize.
From that point you must know the things in your life that you want to have as part of your organized lifestyle.
Beyond that, for the 3rd level, you'll actually [tag]organize your life[/tag] around those important things you identified in level 2.
And now that you've got your life ship shape, you'll have to manage time to carry out all the actual projects and activities that you've organized our life towards.
And once you've got to grips with your natural [tag]time management skill[/tag], 9 characteristics of your mind become the a limitless journey of [tag]self-improvement[/tag] and fulfilment.
Those 5 levels correspond to the 5 courses that are available on Organized Living World (see the right hand column of any page).
Remember those 5 levels. Consider what level you are mostly on right now. And take the steps necessary to progress. Obviously organized living is one of the most important aspects of our lives.
Now that Organized Living World is actually organizing the details to achieve an organized lifestyle, you can hammer away through those 5 levels efficiently and quickly.
But first, you need to choose where you need to start.
That said by one of history's richest businessmen.
Clearly someone to pay attention to, but isn't all this 'law of attraction' stuff just a bunch of airy-fairy mysticism?
Several years back I landed on an idea that I'm neither intelligent enough or knowledgeable enough to fully exploit or explain… I believe it corresponds to a universal principle of creation, and fits various different words and contexts.
There are 3 pillars of your mind and all that you do with it.
ACTION results from the combination of THOUGHT and EMOTION.
Learn to control these things, and we learn to create our life.
Below are notes on those 3 stages of creating whatever you want. These are the 3 Keys threaded throughout the 7 Dimensions of Manifestation.
We have covered the practical application of this Key throughout the course.
It is unfortunate that people are unable or unwilling to allow themselves the self-acceptance and personal power to identify clearly what there heart felt desires are.
Here is some correspondence from someone who read my Life Success Report.
"I have been visiting many different web pages over the last few weeks and months.
I am very much interested in all these subjects about self-development and the related subjects.
Although I have read a lot of books over the last ten years, e.g., Louise L. Hay and similar authors, I have never dared to do it.
So here I am now, nearly forty, trying to sort something out for me. It is just recently that I discovered that I have never had any goals, life goals.
Before we can accomplish anything, we need to take the time to develop a clear picture of what we want. And yes this will expand and clarify and improve with time. but it is vital to have a starting position as clear as we can make it right now.
Mr Jim Rohn narrates a story in which he was to build his first house. He had the land and took people on a virtual tour showing them the fireplace where his descriptions were so vivid that the guest felt he was there and bumped his elbow at the fire place.
Begin it when it's finished means first to become so clear of what we want that in effect it is complete, at least in our mental reality. And once that is achieved, to then begin it.
Of course this can lead to 'perfectionism' and procrastination, so we need to understand Key 2.
How do we reconcile the contradiction between not taking action until we are well prepared, and the idea that readiness happens only from practice?
Our honest judgement combined with our weekly review keeps us ever mindful of the next movements for each project.
Are you familiar with the anecdote of the airplanes precision in direction? An airplane is on track less than 3% of the time. 97% of the time it is OFF course. So how does it manage to get from a precise point A to a precise point B? By making regular minor changes in direction to re-adjust.
We can always always identify the next action steps towards any desire. If you don't know what the next thing to do is, well then the next thing to do is sit down and think and write about what the next things to do might be. This will always always always give you enough ideas to pursue to proceed on that aeroplanes path of 97% off course so that we make the micro-adjustments towards our desired outcome.
Organization and preparation gathers our intent (key 2) which means pulling together the energies and resources to lead us to Key 3; the actual manifestation of our intent.
Great idea! Use the following starting questions to begin a STC for each project.
Can I give the task to someone else?
Can I 'buy' a solution?
Are other people having the same problems?
Did they solve it? How? Can I do the same?
If I was someone else who could solve it, what would I do? Where would I start?
What ideas can I write down as potential solutions, plans, starting points?
Break projects into actions and smaller projects and then into actions.
This happens when we take the EXACT action, or achieve the exact RESULT that we need that has the result of ACTUALLY making real something that we desired.
Allow the process to unfold, trust yourself to take the necessary actions and set up the necessary plans.
You can read my ongoing research, interests and integrations inside the 7 Dimensions of Manifestation.
Key 3 is about prioritisation, scheduling, reviewing, and being flexible in your approach to success and to stay on track.
This is covered in detail in the 3rd part of the Folderarchy Formula.
What are the most important areas for me to work on at this time?
Am i motivated to do them?
Do i know how to do them?
Do i know how to learn or become able to do them?

Written in 1998, with a 5th revision in 2004.
Brace yourself. This might seem a little spooky.
It's synonymous with 'Magic', but it's not about hocus-pocus mysticism or entertainment.
'art and science' – Art as being fluid creative explorative and abstracting. Science as being calculating, definite, concise, measured.
Magic is the approach of using those expanded ideas of 'art' and 'science' for the purpose of creating changes in something (career, lifestyle, anything) based upon whatever you want.
I don't mean to make the ideas seem trivial, I just want to break it down into a really simple clear base-line idea.
I want you to realize that it is not airy-fairy, irrational, or even 'spiritual', like so many websites on Magic will make it seem, but rather it is a way of representing and harnessing our development, focus, drive and creativity.
The alchemists and heretics were the scientists, innovators and individualistic self-leaders of antiquity.
Processing represents that same idea of Magic based on using three factors: Destruction, Deconstruction, and Transcendence.
The art and science of effecting change in conformity with will… via destruction, deconstruction, and transcendence.
Destruction is about death, obliteration, disparagement, smashing, eliminating, destructive side of spontaneity, decisive certainty..
Deconstruction is about investigation, analysis, argument, categorizing, consolidation, deep-thought, objectivity, reason, identifying limitations, borders and boundaries..
Transcendence is about creativity, intuition, emotion, transformation, freedom, passion, peace, creative side of spontaneity, fluid contextual certainty..
The above provides an orientation to the 3 Factors of Processing.
Processing is the effect of changing our environment or position in life via certain skills and tools that you will easily learn that can give untold understanding and power.
So keep in mind that these 3 factors are used as tools that help us find the path to manifest our desires; effecting the change that we want in our careers and lives.
Next you will see how Processing divides into two applications for our lives.
Processing is valuably split into Internal Alchemy and Societal Alchemy.
Here we focus directly on YOU. What do you want to do, have, and become. And what's stopping you?!
…is about effecting change in your wider environment. Influencing others through business, science, art, and other value creation and value sharing.
Life coaching is a form of self-help where what you're lacking is clarity, or motivation.
Until 2 years ago I'd never had personal coaching.
I've made up for it though.
In the past 2 years I've had 1 life coach, 1 sales coach, and 1 internet business coach.
Yikes, that's a lot of money.
Maybe for some people life coaching is worth while. For me, none of that coaching made me feel much value for money.
On hind sight I should have spent $1,000 on books and audio programs, bought an mp3 player to listen to as I go about everywhere, maybe take a month holiday somewhere hot and sit by a pool and read my books.
Wouldn't have spent half as much and would have got more input.
But life coaching isn't or shouldn't be the input you get. It's the quality of listening that facilitates your own self discovery. Well I've got a questionnaire process that providing you've got some personal motivation already, you'll be able to get out of that what is in my opinion better than most life coaching for personal development.
True I've only had 3 coaches so I can't judge the whole industry of coaching. But these guys were top top top guys.
I now realize Coaching can have a very worthwhile place in one's own personal development but you have to include a lot of factors to make higher priced coaching worthwhile.
My 7 Dimensions of Life Management can do you wonders (if you do the exercises), and I can also now highly recommend Global Information Network for a cost effective, consistent and leading-edge coaching environment.

}}№ 4 es el cuarto álbum lanzado por la banda estadounidense de hard rock Stone Temple Pilots, lanzado el 26 de octubre de 1999 por Atlantic Records. El álbum fue un retorno a las raíces de rock duro anteriores de la banda, a la vez que mezcla elementos del heavy metal, el rock psicodélico y el rock alternativo. A pesar de la falta de promoción debido a la pena de prisión de un año del cantante Scott Weiland, poco antes del lanzamiento del álbum, No. 4 fue certificado Platinum por la RIAA el 7 de agosto de 2000, y por la CRIA en agosto de 2001 la canción "Down" fue nominada a la Mejor Interpretación de Best Hard Rock Performance en los Grammy Awards. El álbum también produjo uno de los mayores éxitos de STP, "Sour Girl", que llegó al #78 en el Hot 100, la única canción que aparece en esa carta. Se trata del álbum más duro de la banda desde su álbum debut.

 Estilo musical No.4 muestra un esfuerzo deliberado por la banda para volver a un sonido orientado al rock más duro ofrecido en sus dos primeros álbumes. Allmusic citó el álbum como STP "esfuerzo más difícil" desde Core'', señalando que "es como si STP decidió competir directamente con la nueva generación de bandas de alt-metal que valoran la agresión sobre los ganchos o riffs." Stephen Erlewine también escribió que No.4 "es un disco que consolida todas sus fuerzas.".

Here is a pattern that I wrote up last Spring. I call it my Fall Shawl because of the colors I used in it. All of the yarn isRed Heart Supersaver. I had gone out to the store one afternoon and stopped at a yard sale on my way home. The woman running it has several large totes full of yarn. She told me that she used to do plastic canvas work, but due to an injury she could no longer work at her craft. Needless to say, I took a large quantity of yarn off her hands at a bargain price! Who doesn't love a bargain? And a yarn bargain? It's a win, win.

Marcus Johansson to be re-evaluated in 1 week with lung contusion: Who will slot up in top-six role for Bruins?
It could have been much worse, but the Bruins will still need to brace themselves for a bit more lineup shuffling in the coming weeks, especially in their top-six corps.
Already without David Pastrnak (thumb surgery) up front, Boston will now be without its latest acquisition in winger Marcus Johansson for a bit, as the forward exited Tuesday's win over the Hurricanes after colliding with Carolina's Micheal Ferland just minutes into the matchup.
Johansson was brought to Massachusetts General Hospital during the game and was held overnight for evaluation. After going through testing, the Bruins announced Wednesday evening that Johansson suffered a lung contusion following the heavy hit, but added that the 28-year-old skater was discharged from the hospital.
The team added that Johansson will be re-evaluated in one week.
Obviously, not exactly what the Bruins were looking for, given that Johansson was only four games into his tenure with Boston and looking pretty effective on a line with David Krejci and Jake DeBrusk.
But all things considered, Johansson and the Bruins have to feel like they dodged a bullet when it comes to the official diagnosis. While Johansson will likely be out for at least a couple of weeks, the initial reply had many fearing the worst, whether it be a broken collarbone, separated shoulder or concussion.
Johansson should be good to go in time for the final weeks of the regular season and the Stanley Cup Playoffs — giving Boston a versatile weapon that can both skate in a top-six spot while also moving down if need be to give the team's third line some added scoring punch.
But for the time being, Bruce Cassidy has a few things to sort out with a vacant hole once again present on Krejci's line. Here are a few candidates to slot in for the Bruins with Johansson on the mend.

Q: Minkowski diagram I have not well understood the picture of geogebra regarding the angle of time (t') that is inclined compared to (t) of 26.57°angle .
In the picture we see that the velocity is setted at 0.5c, for which i belivied that if with c = 1 is represented by a 45° inclined line, and now we want draw a speed of 0.5c, all we have to do is divide 45° by 2 and we obtain an inclinatio of 22.5°...
Somewere i have read that to have the correct inclinatio we have to do this calculation : new angle = arctan(0.5/1) = 26.57°
This is the correct solution but i have not understood why...

A: Coordinates of the original frame as functions of coordinates of moving frame are given by inverse lorentz transform:
$$
ct=\gamma\left(ct'+\beta x'\right)
$$
$$
x=\gamma\left(x'+\beta ct'\right)
$$
Now imagine point on the $ct´$ axis, lets say $(ct´,x´)=(1,0)$. This point will have coordinates in the original frame $(ct,x)=(\gamma,\gamma\beta)$
from which the slope is given by:
$$
\tan\alpha=\frac{\gamma\beta}{\gamma}=\beta
$$

The entrance to our old executive offices was across from the elevators to the main hospital. One day I was walking in the lobby about to get on one of the elevators when I noticed a puddle on the floor. I immediately went to find something to wipe it up. As I was returning to the lobby with my paper towels, I stopped and observed all of the people that were either avoiding or stepping over the puddle. People were taking appropriate evasive action, but no one did anything to take care of it. Many were our employees—doctors, nurses, other staff—who were ignoring a problem that could have caused harm to a patient.

A good reporter follows a solid lead and always protects their source. A good dog, by contrast, follows loyally but will always break away to protect their pack. So when that dog is a giant, intimidating Newfoundland breed afraid of everything from dark stairwells to paper bags, a good reporter will wonder why. When that reporter is someone like Thom Barker it's not just enough to find the answers, but follow the peculiar story to the end — in this case to the writing of his debut children's book exploring the theme of unfounded fears and critical-thinking.
Now in its second release, Lady MacBeth afraid of the stairs is based on Barker's real life dog and her odd-ball journey of conquering this fear when one day she is given a small but significant reason to doubt her own thinking.
"I really hope more than anything children are entertained by it," Barker says. "Of course, confronting fears is a standard children's book theme, so if it is entertaining, perhaps in a small way it will help children develop the skepticism they need to become critically-thinking adults.
Regular readers may remember Barker from his days about 13 years ago at the Interior News in Smithers. His stories were regularly shared with Black Press newspapers across B.C. He was in the Houston RCMP detachment less than an hour after the fatal, in-custody shooting of Ian Bush, and subsequently won a national award of excellence for his reporting on the inquiry. A Smithers crime series, on what was then B.C.'s "crime capital", won him a dozen more accolades from journalism institutions in both Canada and the United States. In other words, he's not known for fluff pieces. This foray into children's books is a surprising turn for Barker, now a grandfather of two, until the adult readers see the similarities of Lady MacBeth's fears, and the culture of fear underlying many of today's news headlines.
To be fair, Lady MacBeth is not afraid of all stairs, just these stairs in the Labrador home Barker shares with his wife Lorraine (whom he met in Smithers). For safety concerns they had blocked off the staircase when Lady was a pup, and Barker suspects her curiosity of what lurked beyond the barricade mutated into fear as she matured. Why she's afraid of everything else is a mystery (a tennis racket, a bicycle, a tin can) but a good motivator for Barker to document Lady's adventures in the world of fiction.
To illustrate this with humour and a light step, Barker turned to long-time friend Dave Rheaume, with whom he shared a passion as a child for co-creating comic books and homemade films. Rheaume brings what Barker calls a "historical-retro feel" to the book. An emerging theme with reader reviews indicate children find the paintings whimsical while parents and grandparents find them nostalgic.
Provided the second release of the self-published book goes well, Barker and Rheaume are already planning a series they'll pitch to traditional publishers next year. The series will begin with titles like Lady MacBeth takes a bath, Lady MacBeth finds a dinosaur bone and Lady MacBeth goes to the big city.
Lady MacBeth afraid of the stairs is available on Amazon.ca.

The repeated execution of workflow logic is usually modeled with loop constructs in the workflow model. But there are cases where it is not known at design time that a subset of activities has to be rerun during workflow execution. For instance in e-Science, scientists might have to spontaneously repeat a part of an experiment modeled and executed as workflow in order to gain meaningful results. In general, a manually triggered ad hoc rerun enables users reacting to unforeseen problems and thus improves workflow robustness. It allows natural scientists steering the convergence of scientific results, business analysts controlling their analyses results, and it facilitates an explorative workflow development as required in scientific workflows.

The 5 Best (& 5 Worst) Characters In The Star Wars Sequel Trilogy
by Ben Sherlock
When Disney first acquired Lucasfilm and announced that they would be making a Star Wars sequel trilogy to continue the saga beyond Return of the Jedi, fans were mainly excited to see Harrison Ford as Han Solo, Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia, and Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker on the big screen again. But the sequels have introduced us to a bunch of new characters, too. In fact, the story has become increasingly focused on them and their journeys. There are some great new characters and some weak ones.
RELATED: Star Wars Fan Guessed Episode 9 Title & Emperor Return In 2012
10 Worst: Supreme Leader Snoke
Andy Serkis' motion-capture character Supreme Leader Snoke started off pretty well. During his brief appearances in The Force Awakens, he was mysterious and intriguing. Was he really as tall in real life as he was in the hologram? How did he get inside Kylo Ren's head? However, what we discovered when his character was expanded in The Last Jedi was that he was nothing more than a pale imitation of Emperor Palpatine who was nowhere near as powerful as he promised to be. He was pretty easily killed – more easily killed than his guards, even. So, that was pretty disappointing.
9 Best: Poe Dameron
As both a hotshot pilot and a charming rogue, Poe Dameron is like Luke Skywalker and Han Solo rolled into one. He'll stop at nothing to bring down the tyrannous political power that's taking over the universe, like Luke, but he'll also question authority and follow his own rule book, like Han. He has Luke's sweetness, but also Han's rebelliousness. The conflict between Luke and Han exists entirely within Poe's character, and he's just one guy. The endlessly likable Oscar Isaac is perfect for the part, playing Poe as basically the nicest, coolest guy ever. Everyone would want to be Poe Dameron's friend.
8 Worst: Maz Kanata
Lupita Nyong'o is a terrific actor – one of the finest actors working today, in fact – but she's been wasted in the Star Wars sequel trilogy on a Yoda rip-off whose sole purpose was to spout a bunch of exposition to get Rey from point A to point B. And it was made even worse in The Last Jedi when she was crammed into an early scene, just to make sure she made a contractually obligated appearance in the film. She started off as a disappointing character and then she was shoehorned into the next one, making matters even direr. It's looking like she'll be shoehorned into The Rise of Skywalker, too.
7 Best: Rose Tico
Because Star Wars fans felt threatened by a woman of color in a significant role in the story, or some other equally asinine reason, Kelly Marie Tran faced ruthless backlash on social media after the release of The Last Jedi. Her character Rose Tico is strong, good-hearted, and lovable – and she's filled with the wisdom that can bring us together: "That's how we're gonna win. Not fighting what we hate; saving what we love."
RELATED: JJ Abrams is Thankful for Rian Johnson Casting Kelly Marie Tran
Rose will be back in The Rise of Skywalker, since Finn managed to recover her unconscious body and get her onto the Millennium Falcon at the end of The Last Jedi, and hopefully the sexist and racist trolls can finally learn to accept her as Tran stands defiantly in the face of their hate speech. It's long overdue.
6 Worst: General Hux
Domhnall Gleeson is a brilliant actor who has given fantastic performances in recent movies like Ex Machina and mother!, as well as an episode of Black Mirror. But his Star Wars character General Hux is so serious all the time. He's just no fun. Also, General Hux was one side of the terrible Abbott and Costello routine involving Poe Dameron in the opening scene of The Last Jedi. He was, of course, the straight man, because he takes everything so seriously. The gag belonged in a Robot Chicken episode, not an actual Star Wars movie – and certainly not in the opening scene.
5 Best: Captain Phasma
Rian Johnson may have given Captain Phasma a lame and unceremonious death scene in The Last Jedi, with that corny "chrome-dome" joke, but she was a fascinating character up to that point. It was hardly surprising, since Gwendoline Christie had already played a badass warrior in one nerdy franchise. There was very little doubt that she could do it again. We couldn't see Christie's face under the shiny helmet, so all she had to convey the character was her body language, hand gestures, and line delivery – and she still nailed it. It's no wonder that Captain Phasma was The Force Awakens' best-selling action figure.
4 Worst: Vice Admiral Holdo
Laura Dern gave a great performance, as she always does, in the role of Vice Admiral Holdo in The Last Jedi. Plus, Holdo was involved in the awesome sequence where she guns the Resistance's ship into light-speed and uses it to plow through the First Order's fleet. However, that's all she has going for her. Aside from that cool scene, she was characterized as a generic authority figure to advance Poe Dameron's development by having him rebel against her orders. The role could've been filled by anyone with a higher rank in the Resistance than Poe – she didn't really have an identity of her own.
3 Best: Kylo Ren
Usually, Star Wars villains are rigidly evil. They're set in their ways on the Dark Side of the Force and they'll stop at nothing to dominate the galaxy. Only Darth Vader has found redemption, and even then, it was right at the end. He was a wholly bad dude throughout the entire original trilogy before seeing the error in his ways.
RELATED: Kylo Ren Can Still Be Redeemed
But Kylo Ren is questioning his own actions on the job. The brilliant Adam Driver has brought some real nuance to the role of Kylo Ren – the kind of nuance that is rarely seen in the Star Wars saga.
2 Worst: DJ
Benicio del Toro's mysterious role in The Last Jedi showed some promise in the months leading up to the film's release. Rian Johnson announced that the character was called "DJ" in the script and on the call sheets for the sake of ease, but he doesn't actually have a name. Fans were intrigued and excited. But then his character turned out to not be so interesting. He's a hacker whose allegiances change at the drop of a dime, and he came and went without making much of an impact. He's not slated to return in The Rise of Skywalker, so he'll probably just be forgotten forever.
1 Best: Rey
While the title The Rise of Skywalker doesn't necessarily mean that Rey is a Skywalker, she is undeniably a significant part of the Star Wars mythology. We'll figure out exactly how significant when the new movie is released and all becomes clear, but for now, we do know that she's easily the best character in the new movies. She's the character whose journey we've been following the most closely, and while we don't know the specifics of her backstory, we know that she does have a tragic past and she's amassed a ton of strength to move on from that and become a hero.

New EPO website: Meeting professional needs
Following the announcement of the beta version of the new EPO website a couple of weeks ago, we are now pleased to announce the official relaunch of www.epo.org. The website's new structure and design cater to the needs of professionals, business partners and regular users, allowing for more intuitive navigation, quicker access to information and improved search functions.
The new website provides a single point of entry to the Office's services, including EP Espacenet, the European Patent Register, Online Filing and Online Fee Payment. Espacenet and the Register have been re‑designed, and adaptations to the look and feel of the Online Services portal (formerly epoline) are also in progress.
Two new search functions have been implemented, with another on the way. The EPO site search is now powered by the Google search engine, and searching in Espacenet is now possible from the header on each page. A new search engine for board of appeal decisions is being implemented and will be available soon.
These new features and improvements are based on extensive surveys and tests and on feedback from our users.
With this in mind, we would like to thank the users who gave us feedback on the beta site, and continue to welcome your feedback on the new website. Please write to us at website@epo.org.


The agreement, brokered by content consultant Alteox, covers channels such as Animal Planet, Discovery Channel, DMAX, Discovery Science and TLC, offered from package level S upwards.
Eurosport 1 German and French continue to be available in the basic tier whereas Eurosport 2 in French and German, another new addition to the Entertain Me package, as well as the Portuguese, German and French version of Eurosport 1 HD will be offered as part of the S package.
The new channels are already available on the platform. Instead of offering a specific bundle of channels, PostTV lets the customers decide which channels to include in their personalised pay-TV bundle. Subscriptions can be modified on a monthly basis, and every customer can decide between multiple package sizes, varying in the number of channels and price.

Content is king, so they – the royal they, as in that all-consuming entity known as the innernets – continue to crow. or, queen, as is my preference. And it's true. content creation dominates the messaging of the Information Age.
With Google changing their algorithm throughout the day, everyday, the search engine behemoth gets the final word on the search-worthiness of your website. Staying ahead of SEO hackers is the name of their game, while weeding out the posers and bait mongers from we, who work hard to create organic, authentic content, is what they're striving to achieve.
So you'd better consider what your website is saying, or if you're saying anything at all. If you want anyone in the ever-increasing vastness of the internet reaches to find you, that is.
Search engines despise static. If the content of your website hasn't changed since the first tech boom, chances are pretty good you exist in the internet variation of a Siberian gulag. Like a hippy at Trader Joe's, search engines, Google in particular, are constantly trolling for the freshest, most organic content.
Is your content conversational? Does it read comfortably and as though written by a real person, with a real interest in the subject matter? Believe it or not, with each passing season the Google bots get better at interpreting authenticity.
Links, check. keywords, check. show me the traffic!
There was a time you could buy a domain, put up a holding site, load it up with keywords and links and let the eyeballs, and in some cases, the money, come rolling in. Not so anymore. you might come across the occasional holding site, but it ain't the traffic/cash cow it used to be.
Content creation: keep it quality, stupid!
As I mentioned above, search engines are identifying the difference between quality and fakery. But it's not just the bots. the consumer is on to the fakes, too. Quality is just as important to we who consume the content as to the bots that vet it.
In this era of internet and mobility, we don't want to have to pick through the rocks to get to the gem.
We are no longer captive, passively awaiting the networks to provide us our next juicy t.v morsel, or the morning paper to keep us up to date. We discern. We vet. Today, everyone in the communication business has to play in the content business as well – from traditional media to retailers to marketers. Every consumer sector.
Scheduling: we decide when and where to watch, and for how long.
Marketing and Social Media: we share, spreading the word for content we love and advocate for.
Distribution: like, pin and retweet, vlog, blog – we curate and share.
Advertising: we work in tandem with brands via content collaborations and user-generated hashtags. our endorsements increasingly carry more weight than traditional celebs and outlets.
Critiquing: we simultaneously consume and evaluate content, often in real time.
As yet, Google, or any other search engine for that matter, has yet to come up a technology that can make sure a brand's myriad executions have a unified message. There's no app that ensures a piece of content will hit the right emotional tone or be expressed in the appropriate voice. Ultimately, businesses and brands need talented people to ensure that content is high quality—whether it's a 15-second TV spot, a much longer YouTube video, or an 800-word blog or news article.
A talented content creator can provide the voice and messaging to extend your role as a tastemaker. Think of your content brand as a recommendation engine for specific sensibilities that transcend your platform or category, in the way that Etsy helps DIYers make and sell their products by introducing them to a community of like-minded people.
Let's face it. the goal with both is to drive and generate traffic – get those eyeballs!
Is purpose-driven: we create content for good. We present your product or service in a voice and tone that is engaging, entertaining and embedded with social values that are deeply ingrained in your company culture and drives your business strategy.
Is mindful of your target market, audience and promoting community. Who are you speaking to? Are you looking to simply speak to your market or engage with your audience, creating community. upended creative looks to do both. You have messaging that needs disseminated throughout your channels – your website, blog & social media; but, you're also looking to encourage communication that builds a following and an engaged relationship between your business and your market.
