Boris Johnson often avoids discussing his children in public.
In fact, when repeatedly asked about his kids during an interview with Nick Ferrari on LBC, the Prime Minsiter refused to answer any questions.
He hit back: "I don't think this is what the nation wants to hear! The nation wants to hear how we are going to deliver Brexit!"
But with fears growing over the Prime Minister's health following his admission into intensive care as he continues to battle coronavirus, people have been concerned for his family.
So who are Boris' children?

Boris's first wife Marina Wheeler fell pregnant with Lara before they were married in 1993.
The Prime Minister forked out £33,000 a year to send her to the prestigious Bedales school.
She then followed in the footsteps of Prince William and Kate Middleton by attending St Andrews University, where she studied Latin.
Lara, 26, now works as an arts and fashion journalist in London.
She is five years younger than Boris' fiancee Carrie.

Born in Milo in 1995, Milo is Boris' eldest son with Marina.
He attended the private Westminster School, which set his parents back £27,000 a year.
Milo then went on to study at London's School of Oriental and African Studies.
The 25-year-old is now fluent in Arabic, Russian and French.

Born in 1997, Cassia is Boris' youngest daughter with first wife Marina.
Her education cost her mum and dad £18,000 a year when she was sent to Highgate School.
During her school years, she edited the student magazine Cholmeleian.
Cassia is now a writer, just like her big sister Lara.

Theodore is the spitting image of his famous father.
Born in 1999, he is the Prime Minister's youngest son with his first wife Marina.
He too was privately educated before going on to study at Cambridge University.
Stephanie Macintyre
Boris initially tried to deny that he is the father of Stephanie.
In fact, he wasn't even named on her birth certificate.
However, after a lengthy court battle, it was confirmed that the Prime Minister was her real dad.
Stephanie's mother Helen Macintyre fell pregnant while having an affair with Boris in 2009.
According to reports, she does not have a relationship with the Prime Minister or her half-siblings.

Perfect Weapon is an action-adventure video game developed by Gray Matter and published by ASC Games. The game released on November 21, 1996, for PlayStation and February 1997 for Windows 95. Marketed as "Tekken 2 meets Resident Evil", it met with mediocre reviews. During development, the game was scheduled for release in May 1997 for the Sega Saturn, but the port was cancelled. The game was re-released on March 25, 2010, in North America for the PlayStation Network as a PSOne Classic and can be played on PSP, PS3, and PSVita.

Plot
An Earth Defense Force top agent and martial arts world champion named Blake Hunter is knocked out after a winning match and taken away to an alien environment. Now all alone, Blake explores his surroundings, fighting for his life and trying to find answers.

Gameplay
The player navigates Blake Hunter through a number of screens, each with their own fixed camera angle. On the screen there is a constant health bar and minimap. Unsecure areas are shaded red and when they become secured, they are shaded green. When faced with an enemy, the minimap is hidden and an enemy health bar shows. Blake can defend himself with punches and roundhouse kicks. Throughout the game, Blake comes across a number of power-ups to heal wounds and fight better.

Reception

GamePro praised the game for its graphics, but found the hit detection rather poor and compared the game unfavorably to Resident Evil. Next Generation criticized the game for its flawed controls and confusing levels and compared it to Alone in the Dark and Tekken.

Calvert, William Frank
CALVERT, WILLIAM F.
William (Bill) Calvert, aged 88, of Plano TX passed away on Sunday, June 13, 2021.
Born July 28, 1932, in Carterville, IL to Troy and Maggie (Lavender) Calvert, Bill graduated from Carterville High School and graduated from Southern Illinois University, majoring in Agriculture.
Bill's university studies were interrupted by his service during the Korean War, stationed in Ft. Smith, AR. Upon his return to Carterville (and SIU), he found that "everyone had either married or moved" except for Sandra J. McNeill who had recently returned to work at Herrin (IL) Hospital upon her graduation from Cook County School of Nursing. Thus began a marriage and love story spanning 63 years until Sandra's unexpected death on August 6, 2020. Those 63 years were full of laughter, bickering, entertainment, exasperation, devotion to the church and produced five children and 6 grandchildren.
Upon graduating from SIU in 1956, Bill accepted a position with US Industrial Chemical Company (USI) in their laboratory at Tuscola, IL. Within five years, USI recognized that Bill possessed attributes which would make him a stellar salesman. He, Sandra and two children moved near St. Louis, MO (Overland) where Bill became a "travelling" salesmen and two additional children would be born. In 1970, Bill was promoted to District Sales Manager in Houston, TX – and the family moved again (Deer Park) where his fifth child was born. Bill was promoted to Regional Sales Manager in 1975 and the family moved to Plano, TX. Bill retired in 1993.
Due to graveyard shifts while he worked in the lab, and extensive travel as a salesman for over fifteen years, Bill abdicated the primary child-rearing role to his wife. He was usually greeted after a trip by a kiss from Sandra and her declaration "they're yours now, I've had enough". If there was disagreement over child-related rules, the five never knew as Bill and Sandra always presented a unified front. Where their mother possessed "eyes in the back of her head", Bill remembered and sympathized with his kids by laughing "…yeah, I tried that on your grandma – didn't work back then, either!". He was a demanding chore-master (yards, autos, repairs, kitchen inspections) and early feminist ("don't ever let yourselves be dependent on some man!") Regardless of avocation, Bill vowed he would "give" his kids a "union card" (Bachelors' Degree) as a "start" – all five achieved thus. He dearly loved his children and adored his grandchildren. For thirty years he attended every Grandparent Day, nursery school through college graduation ceremony, dance recital, soccer, football and (especially) softball game possible. He was known as a dependable grandchild school-day transportation service and often "grabbed" his grandkids for trips to the park. To our dad and grandpa, we say "You Done Good!"
Bill was a member of West Plano Presbyterian Church ("WPPC") where he served as an Elder, and member of the Property Committee for over 45 years. He was particularly devoted to the "Food Basket Sunday" mission of the church which collected food items monthly – Bill delivered them to the Plano Food Pantry and was their advocate at WPPC.
Bill was preceded in death by his long-suffering but devoted wife, Sandra J McNeill Calvert and his parents and brothers. He is survived by his five children, Mark (Paula) Calvert of Grand Prairie, TX, daughter Betsy Calvert-Corlew of Plano, TX, son Matthew Calvert of Dallas, daughter Cara (Chris) Anderson of Frisco, TX, and son Andrew Calvert of Plano, TX; as well as his six grandchildren, Courtney (Brandon) Lee of Grand Prairie, TX, Bailey Anderson of Frisco, TX, Herb Corlew of Conroe, TX, Maggie Corlew of Galesburg, IL, Jon Anderson of Frisco, TX and Kelly Calvert of Lynnwood, WA. He is also survived by his brother-in-law, Charles (Mary) Choate of Springfield, IL, nine nephews and nieces and extended family who remember him fondly.
A memorial service is scheduled at West Plano Presbyterian Church (2709 Custer Rd., Plano TX) on September 25th at 1:00pm. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to The Plano Food Pantry (2200 18th Street, Plano, TX 75074).
Please leave the family condolences and share memories on this website.

Q: Slow ethernet cable connection - due to slow "Link partner advertised link modes"? I am using Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS on a new laptop. My ethernet connection seems to be capped at 100MB/s which I would like to change to 1000MB/s. I have tried to use ethernet to do so. This is the stats output of ethtools before I do anything:
Settings for eno1:
    Supported ports: [ TP MII ]
    Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
                            100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
                            1000baseT/Full

                            1000baseT/Full
    Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only
    Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
    Advertised FEC modes: Not reported
    Link partner advertised link modes:  10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
                                         100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
    Link partner advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only
    Link partner advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
    Link partner advertised FEC modes: Not reported
    Speed: 100Mb/s
    Duplex: Full
    Port: Twisted Pair
    PHYAD: 0
    Transceiver: internal
    Auto-negotiation: on
    MDI-X: Unknown
    Supports Wake-on: pumbg
    Wake-on: d
    Link detected: yes

I have tried to set the speed to 1000 with the following command, however,  I immediately lose the connection and the output changes to unknown:
user:~$ sudo ethtool -s eno1 speed 1000 duplex full
user:~$ sudo ethtool eno1
Settings for eno1:
    Supported ports: [ TP MII ]
    Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
                            100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
                            1000baseT/Full
    Supported pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only
    Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
    Supported FEC modes: Not reported
    Advertised link modes:  1000baseT/Full
    Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only
    Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
    Advertised FEC modes: Not reported
    Speed: Unknown!
    Duplex: Unknown! (255)
    Port: Twisted Pair
    PHYAD: 0
    Transceiver: internal
    Auto-negotiation: on
    MDI-X: Unknown
    Supports Wake-on: pumbg
    Wake-on: d
    Link detected: no

I'm assuming that this is due to the "Link partner advertised link modes" not including 1000baseT/Full before setting the speed to 1000. However, my internet provider swears that it's not their router. In my old flat with my old computer, the ethernet cable was easily able to handle 1000MBit/s.
Anyone any ideas what could be going wrong here?

A: The output of ethtool clearly shows that the device on the other end of the Ethernet cable plugged into your eno1port only supports 100 MBit/s as maximum speed. To resolve this:

*

*Check where that cable is plugged in.

*If it is a switch, replace it by a Gigabit capable model.

*If it is your Internet provider's router, talk to your provider again, quoting your ethtool result.

"What an extraordinary team of professionals! Every member of the ADC team were very responsive to all of our questions, ideas, and concerns throughout every phase of the design and construction process. The coordination and monitoring of the various trades by ADC to ensure our timeline for construction were met were amazing. The ADC team was also very well respected by the various trades, and the quality of the work by the trades reflects ADC's ability to work well with them.
We love our new home and would highly recommend ADC to design and construct your dream home."
"We highly recommend ADC to anyone who is seeking a top quality experience and subsequent follow-up, the team at ADC focused on the client's needs and satisfaction. We thoroughly enjoy our home and appreciate all those involved in its design and construction."
"We purchased a Pineapple Hill Estates lot in Kapalua, Maui, and thatʻs where we decided to build our custom home.
After interviewing several architects, we decided on Architectural Design & Construction, Inc. The project was assigned to Morgan Gerdel. He designed the home to fit our special requirements. We requested extra large bedrooms, kitchen, and garage. We also wanted a house with a very open atmosphere. As project manager, he was instrumental in negotiation with the home owners association to have some minor changes made. Morgan acquired quality materials, and assembled the craftsmen that performed the quality workmanship we required within our budget and they finished the home on schedule.
We would highly recommend this firm to design and oversee your project."
"Choosing ADC was an easy decision in part because we liked your designs best. Having built two homes previously, we appreciated the high quality materials and construction used throughout the homes we saw.
The other reason we wanted to work with ADC was your design/build option. It makes so much sense, and saves a considerable amount of time and money. Design/build requires a certain degree of trust that the construction bid will be fair and reasonable. However, it is quite easy to verify the reasonableness of a bid by using comparable cost per square foot prices in the same area for similar quality homes.
We also enjoyed the experience of working with you and your team at ADC. The fact that we are working with ADC on another project in Kapalua is the highest recommendation we could possibly make to anyone contemplating building a home in Maui."
"Thank you very much for getting it done! My mom will be very appreciative. Tell the guys they did a great job! I would like to take this opportunity again to thank you, your crew, and ADC for working with us in a very professional and expedient manner that made it stress-free, especially not being there on island. It was a pleasure working with all of you. We might be adding more in the future and now know who to call on to get things done."
"I thought the Keawekapu Residence was absolutely brilliant. . . It was a very comfortable house with a wonderful progression of spaces and the right use of materials. . . It beautifully captured the attributes of the site."
"We would like to express our thanks for the service your company provided in the reconstruction of our home this spring. It was such a relief to find a firm that was responsive to our needs.
We chose to work with ADC for this major home repair project based on their experience, cooperative attitude and availability. We appreciated the constant access to the personnel involved in the project and that the follow-up was done in a timely and harmonious manner.
We would be delighted to highly recommend your services to both clients and friends should the need arise. Again, thanks for your much needed assistance."
"ADC exceeded all of my expectations - they enjoy a well-established reputation for excellence in the community for the quality of their design, their professional team, and their ability to listen to the needs/wants of the client.
The artistic vision of the design team created spaces in my home that I love to live in! I am so happy when I walk into the rooms that were renovated. I appreciated their genuine effort to work within my budget restrictions. They were always available to answer questions and offer suggestions related to the project.
I have read reviews and articles about their work in the newspaper and magazines. Being that we live in a small community, word-of-mouth also sang their praises."
"We retained ADC to design and build our beachfront home in South Maui. The architects at ADC were particularly adept at adopting Hawaiian design to our unique site. We were able to work closely with Durwin, our lead architect, to achieve these goals. We were also able to participate in the design and plan preparation, which was something we were especially interested in doing when we selected ADC.
Using ADC to construct the house was our way of meeting the goal of translating design to actual finished home. ADC has accomplished carpenters and masons who give the construction process a running start at success. In addition, with design and construction under one organization, it was easier for us to make changes to various parts of the house as it took shape.
ADC is a design/build firm that offers an effective way to complete a luxury Maui residence. We are very pleased with our home and overall felt our relationship with ADC was a rewarding one."
"The purpose of this letter is to convey our appreciation for the professional, high quality work done by ADC during the course of our project and for the ongoing support provided to us in taking care of the minor issues we have encountered after project completion.
We enjoyed working with ADC because your personnel would always listen to our thoughts and ideas. You made it easy for us to make changes during the project. You also gave us good advice when our ideas were not advisable.
The design/build approach worked very well. It was great having the design professionals involved during the build phase. There were several instances when the architects being available on site allowed us to make good decisions in a timely manner. We also observed your construction personnel contacting the design personnel for clarification and for making refinements that resulted in a better end product.
Our bottom line is that if we were going to undertake another project, we would call on ADC to do the work. Thank you for a job well done."
"The Z-shaped plan and careful siting of this residence maximizes the potential of a dramatic site - offering panoramic ocean views from all spaces while minimizing the scale of the structure. Cross ventilation of all rooms and ample protection from sun and wind are commendable environmental considerations. Architectural detailing is straight forward and skillfully executed. This sizeable home creates a stately and distinctly Hawaiian presence."
"We had a wonderful experience with ADC in building and designing our beautiful home in Maui. The staff was very professional, friendly, fun and intuitive to our needs. We very much enjoyed working with your trade contractors and felt that they also were attentive to the many details of our home. We continuously receive numerous compliments on the beauty and quality of our home and would definitely recommend ADC to anyone who is planning to build on Maui."
"We wish to convey our appreciation for the professional, high quality work by Architectural Design & Construction on our home in Maui.
The design/build process worked well for us. We appreciated having the design professionals involved during the entire construction process. Your team approach resulted in our home being finished with a higher level of quality construction. Thanks again to everyone at ADC!"
"Thank you for such an exciting and stress-free adventure building our home. We were really amazed at how smooth the whole process was from beginning to end. From creating the floor plan with the Architects, to selection of finishes, we felt everyone had the same goal in mind: Our 100% satisfaction.
It was not just the professional experience that was outstanding, but also the personal relationships that we established.
We are extremely happy in our new home and enjoyed watching it start from a mound of dirt, to a beautiful home that we are proud to show off to all of our friends and family.
Thank you for making our dream home a reality. It is truly priceless!"
"After delaying a remodel of our condo unit for 6 years, we had found a local contractor that we felt would be able to do the job. However, as we moved to finalize an agreement to start the process, he informed us that due to a significant illness in his extended family, he would not be able to do our project after all.
Because our Association restricts the months that such work could be done and that period had already begun, we had just about given up when a friend suggested ADC. Even then we discovered that ADC had only remodeled one other unit in our complex, so we were not certain whether they would be able to understand the nature of the existing construction and our Association requirements in time, to get the job done. Now also add the fact that they would have to do the work without us being on-site, and only through remote communication, we questioned whether it was possible for any Contractor to successfully complete our project.
However, ADC proved not only very capable and efficient, but was able to complete the project on time and on budget. The extent and quality of the work was everything that we had hoped to accomplish. From beginning to end, ADC got the appropriate approvals from the local government agencies and the Association, assembled the materials needed, and hired quality subs to do the work and completed our project within the required schedule.
The result is that we now have a beautifully remodeled unit that is more up-to-date and comfortable, and improved our overall investment in our little bit of paradise. We highly recommend ADC for their professionalism, skill and experience."


Face to face time (or phone time) with customers is a finite resource in all opportunities, and is often the critical bottleneck. This article highlights a collection of 20 best practices from top sellers that you can use today. Here are some tips from top pre-sales pro's to make the most of that time.
1. If you go to dinner at someone's house and they've obviously put a lot of thought and care into the details, you appreciate it. A presenter who is not prepared gives the opposite impression.
A top Sales Engineer says, "The majority of my meetings are not driven by an agenda. They are last minute, and I'm not sure who will attend. I ask the sales rep for details, and they say, 'Don't worry; I'll brief you on the way over.' So I have learned to convince the salesperson to let me call ahead, and be engaged on the front end of the sales cycle. It allows me to prep the environment, so when I show up I can be effective. I actually have a checklist."
• Have a plan to build rapport at the outset – emotional leadership – O.K./not O.K.
• Integrate in a story to increase your personal appeal, to add some humor, and to demonstrate your competence.
2. A top Sales Engineer says, "During a WebEx, I asked the customer to draw something on the virtual white board. It's the first time I'd done it, and the customer said to me, 'That's the first time I truly understood what your product does.'"
If they get involved, they understand better, retain more and the solution is their 'baby.' Another top Sales Engineer says, "Less PowerPoint and more real-time use of the product leads to greater knowledge transfer – greater understanding of what they are going to get – how it's useful."
3. Often a salesperson does an initial introduction and then turns the presentation over to an Sales Engineer, who starts by sitting down at a laptop to conduct the demonstration.
It's best not to demonstrate a product sitting down. You give up control of the presentation and your audience. If there are two of you, the lead presenter should remain standing, perhaps working at a flip chart or white board. If you are solo and you use a laptop at points, don't sit at the laptop. Stand instead. Also, turn off the laptop screen. This will force you to look up at what they are looking at and it will keep you from looking and talking into the laptop.
4. If a customer asks, "Will your product do X?" the typically knee-jerk response is to say, "Sure." And then zoom through the menus and show them that it can. The customer sees you go through a series of menu selections and may begin to feel 'software vertigo' – the sick feeling in your stomach that happens when the screens moved too quickly. Instead, ask questions to better understand the question and it's importance. Avoid screen flipping. Sometimes it's better to answer verbally or by drawing on the white board. You might also say, "Yes. We will be showing you that capability as part of this demo."
You can't train them on the product during a demo. You CAN convince them the product is hard to use.
5. When you are the second person in the room, it's easy to become inattentive, especially if you are lost in the conversation. You can appear disinterested. Take notes, show that you are listening. Stay involved. Demonstrate interest in this customer and helping them.
On a web session or con call, focus 100% of your attention on THIS call. Don't let your attention drift to email. It's embarrassing when you are called on and everyone notices that you were not paying attention.
6. Original, spontaneous thought attracts attention. Before your next presentation, prepare a couple illustrative stories or analogies that might be useful. Just sit down and write about five interesting things that have happened to you.
When you use it, be an actor. Act like it just occurred to you. "John, that reminds me of work we did with ABC Company. Your situation is different, of course, but they too were concerned about ..."
You also may be covering the same point for the 1000th time and you can sound bored. A fresh way of making the point will help you avoid this problem.
7. Early in my training career, I had a co-worker critiquing me and she said, "Steve you light up when you use a story about your daughter, or about a military analogy – something you from your personal experience." This is true of all of us. Stories and analogies enhance your personal presence.
Stories make a point more effectively, quicker, with more color and more entertainment value and they make you more memorable. You will come across with more personality and more power. They will remember how you made them feel, more than they remember what you did or said.
8. The goal of a customer meeting is NOT to dispense product knowledge. It is to ADVANCE THE SALE. Often times these goals get confused.
9. When I was new to sales, I worked with one of our most senior and 'in demand' Sales Engineer's. When I took him to do a presentation, he would carry a big sample case full of 150 'VuGraphs.' At the beginning of the presentation he would make a big deal of pulling out and stacking all of the slides beside the overhead projector. Then he would say, "I have 150 slides. I'm glad to go through every one of them, or I could ask you a few questions and then go to the 5-10 slides that mean the most to you. Which is better?"
10. On a web demo the participants could be looking at their email and not paying attention. It's important to keep them engaged. One way is to make a point and then ask, "Is this something you could see in your environment or are we off track?"
11. As you are doing the demo or presentation, you can tee up some competitive differentiators. "Here's another thing some people consider important. Do you think that is important to you?" By having a deeper dialogue you can help them make up their mind, increase their focus and urgency and help shape the basis for the decision.
12. Standard vs. custom. If it's a public seminar, things come up and they just don't show up. You don't have as much traction. Also, there is a Q & A portion to those programs, but people aren't as willing to ask questions in that sort of public forum. So questions go unasked and unanswered.
When you are building a custom event, it gives you the premise to draw them out, to find and develop interest and to focus your presentation. If you have done a custom demo, then the customer knows you've put in that effort.
13. It is always more effective to demonstrate your expertise than to assert it. Asserting sounds like, "We have the best product – we are a global leader – our product is robust, extensible, scalable, customizable, standard-based, and truly comprehensive in the scope of it's functionality." It's too much hyperbole, and it really doesn't convince anyone of anything.
However, if you make a reference to relevant experience you come across as an expert. "You just reminded me of something we ran into at a large global bank. Their situation was different of course, but there are some similarities..."
14. Dedicate a page on a flip chart as a 'holding tank' and use it as a place to put open or unresolved items. It gives you a way to clearly show you will address a question, even if you can't or don't want to do so now. It also provides a way to shelve some 'rat hole' issues. Finally, it gives you a reason to get back in touch with the customer.
15. You are always unconsciously broadcasting your current emotional condition. Buyers sense you well-being or lack thereof. Since we all tend to make decisions emotionally, more than intellectually, an intellectually perfect argument, presented by someone who lacks confidence will fail.
16. Often, presenters quickly launch a demonstration losing the audience about two slides into the mandatory corporate backgrounder that no one cares about but us. It's a bit like starting by passing out sleeping pills. If the key slide is #17, there's little chance they will remain conscious far enough into the presentation to see it and recognize it. Instead, help your audience understand the context of the demonstration and how it relates to them.
Every presentation should be as customized as possible. I strongly suggest not taking a laptop on the first call. If you get invited in to present, I also suggest you find out who is going to be there and try to speak to each of them one-on-one prior to the presentation, to make your presentation as useful for them as possible. When you do present, it should be tailored to address the pain, fear and gain you uncovered. Start with a recap and confirmation of the business problems you are addressing. Revisit and 'reheat' the pain. Get them emotionally involved. Then show how you will fix the problems.
17. On the day of the demo, new players frequently show up. Many times the real decision-maker surfaces for the first time. The most frequent reaction is 'let me show you what we have cooked up for you!' The new players are certain to have a different perspective than the people you've met with so far, and they probably won't like what you're serving. Instead, if there are new people in the room, make sure to get their buy-in on the problem. "George, are we off target with what we are doing here? Would you agree with the assessment so far, or have we overstated the significance of this issue? Is there anything you would add?" Then, present your solution to address the problems, showing only the features, benefits and capabilities that relate to those issues.
18. One of the things we dread most is that someone in the audience will try to undercut us during the presentation. We silently hope to get on and off stage without argument or controversy. Instead, don't try to avoid the hidden enemy. Flush them out. "Does anyone here have any significant concerns about what we are discussing? How about minor concerns, then?" Your hidden enemies will do most of their selling WHILE YOU AREN'T THERE. If you give them a chance to surface issues at the demo and they do, then you know who they are and what their point of view is. If they don't and they try to bring it up later, their colleagues will ask them why they didn't bring up the issue at the demo.
19. If hidden enemies do surface during the presentation, the two most frequent responses are: a. You try to brush over it as quickly as possible. b. As they fire salvos at you, you try to defend and justify the solution you are presenting. Instead, follow Sun Tzu's advice and get to know your enemies as well as you know yourself. Embrace the question or concern. Reward and reverse – explore it deeper. Strip line to put the pressure back on them. Ask the rest of the audience how they see the issue. Don't fight alone. Get help. Let them fight. They have to get to consensus before they can decide on any course of action.
20. The worst impression you can make with executives is that you wasted their time. If you get the chance to do a senior level briefing: a. Put in some extra preparation time. Don't ask an executive to tell you things you could have known prior. b. Don't let techie details take you down a rat hole. Let everyone know, up front, that this isn't a technical level talk – but that you can convene a technical briefing if it's warranted. c. Defer on technical questions if they arise.
21. Start every presentation with pre-planned questions to get the audience talking early. It relaxes you, and it makes them more comfortable and receptive. It also helps you locate the target and then hit it.
Best practice: Get the audience talking early.
It's easier TO DO, than NOT TO DO. So when you try to incorporate these tips, pick something TO DO that will displace the thing you want to stop.


The most common brake systems on vehicles consist of hydraulically operated disc and drum brakes. Most vehicles have front discs and rear drums. More vehicles are being produced with 4 wheel disc brakes. The system is activated when pressure is applied to the brake pedal. By this action the pressurized brake fluid moves through the various lines and hoses which in turn forces the calipers and wheel cylinders to expand and moves the pads and shoes into contact with the rotors and drums creating friction and reducing the vehicle's speed.
Due to the variety of components in a brake system it is very important to have a thorough inspection completed at least once a year. Should you notice any abnormalities in the brake system such as unusual sounds, soft or low pedal, vibration, pulsation or ABS Light illuminated, have the system checked immediately. Early detection will reduce costs due to neglect, which may cause undue damage to brake components.

Ports Welcome 2014 WRRDA Conference Committee Report
AAPA CEO Nagle says port-related infrastructure key to U.S. competitiveness
The American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA) today welcomed news that the House-Senate conference committee has completed negotiations and issued its report on the long-awaited and critically-needed water resources development legislation. Upon learning the 2014 Water Resources and Reform Development Act (WRRDA) is on its way to Congress for approval, AAPA immediately sent appreciation and congratulations to conference committee leaders Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and Rep. Bill Shuster (R-PA) for their bipartisan leadership in bringing a negotiated water resources bill to the floor of Congress.
Both Sen. Boxer and Rep. Shuster were jointly named AAPA's "Port Person of the Year" in March for advancing this crucial legislation, although both chose to wait to receive their award until the bill made it successfully out of conference for a final vote of Congress.
In addition to Rep. Shuster and Sen. Boxer, AAPA lauded Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works Ranking Member David Vitter (R-LA), together with House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Ranking Member Nick Rahall (D-WV), House Water Resources and Environment Subcommittee Chairman Bob Gibbs (R-OH) and Ranking Member Tim Bishop (D-NY), for their unified support in moving this important bill toward a floor vote.
"Having waited seven long years since passage of the last water resources authorization bill, our U.S. member ports are extremely pleased to see a final reauthorization bill," said AAPA President and CEO Kurt Nagle. "Our nation desperately needs this water resources legislation to fortify our infrastructure, create and maintain good-paying U.S. jobs, grow our economy and enhance America's international competitiveness."
Mr. Nagle noted that more than a quarter of America's annual GDP is accounted for by international trade. "In order to strengthen the U.S. economy, we must ensure these goods can move efficiently in and out of America's ports, without avoidable and costly delays caused by inadequate or poorly maintained infrastructure. The WRRDA authorization bill helps some of the critical waterside needs facing this nation."
The bipartisan water resources legislation has a number of provisions that address the needs of America's seaports. In particular, it:
Establishes a pathway to full use of the Harbor Maintenance Tax (HMT);
Addresses HMT donor equity;
Modernizes the maintenance dredging cost-share threshold;
Authorizes new navigation channel improvements;
Expedites the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' navigation channel study completion process;
Quickens the pace of project completions by enhancing partnerships.
"The bottom line," said Mr. Nagle, "is this WRRDA bill will help enable the United States to enhance its maritime infrastructure and strengthen its position as a world leader in global trade. AAPA thanks the bipartisan leadership and urges swift final passage and enactment."
He added, "By finalizing the 2014 WRRDA, conference committee members have demonstrated they recognize the significant benefits more modern, efficient seaport and waterway infrastructure will have on our nation's economic vitality, job growth and international competitiveness, as well as the value in helping address federal fiscal realities through sizable tax revenues provided by the cargo and trade activity moving through these systems. Increased investments are needed to better maintain and improve the transportation infrastructure on our three coasts and the Great Lakes, linking America to the global marketplace."
Summarizing, Mr. Nagle said, "America's public ports – which create jobs for more than 13 million people and handle 99.4 percent of the tonnage of our nation's overseas trade – together with their private-sector partners are investing over $9 billion annually in marine terminal infrastructure. We look forward to Congressional passage and President Obama signing this legislation, which will make important policy reforms and authorize badly needed maintenance and improvements to waterside connections with seaports."

Devitt Elverson is a New York based songwriter that has worked with StudioPros over the course of the past 5 years. We have had the pleasure of working with Devitt on over 50 recording projects! He is so articulate, I'll let him tell his story himself.
Devitt's Inside Experience with StudioPros
I started working with StudioPros five years ago. I had recorded some songs myself using a drum machine, but wanted a better sound, especially with the drum tracks. I went online and found StudioPros to help me transform my recordings from programmed drums to live drum performances. The results have been beyond my wildest expectations! They have now mixed and mastered four albums for me — over 50 songs — and along the way provided drums, bass, keyboards, vocals, horn sections, pedal steel guitar and percussion.
I remain impressed with how easy it is to work with StudioPros. Turnaround is quick. The tracks their musicians provide are professional, song-appropriate, and I would even say creative — subject to my final approval, of course.

"I Paint In Dreams":
"Walk That Way":
In the process, the staff has been helpful and supportive. My designated StudioPros producer often calls to ask if I'm satisfied with the tracks. The few times that there were minor problems, my producer has ironed them out immediately.
Finding Your Creative Outlet Through Music
I am someone who needs a creative outlet. While a lot of that energy has gone into composing songs, it also drives my many hobbies and my approach to my profession. I love doing carpentry, cooking, gardening and writing books. I have worked as a psychiatrist for many years, mostly working with people who are quite poor and very sick. This experience has had a major influence on my values, my political views, and my music.
I consider myself first and foremost a songwriter. I started writing music when I was 16. A friend and I wrote, produced and performed a rock opera at our high school. I have been writing ever since. While I mostly compose on the guitar, I found a new tack when an old friend from one of my bands in the '80s contacted me to see if I wanted to write with him. I initially turned him down, having been in a five-year hiatus from writing, — but later decided I would be interested in collaborating with him if I could do my composing on the mandolin. We wrote a number of songs together. I went on to write and record a CD called "Not my Grandfather's Mandolin." I like to collaborate with other writers. Another perspective can open a window to all sorts of possibilities.
Some of my favorite songwriters are Richard Thompson, Joni Mitchell, Neil Finn and Antonio Carlos Jobim. I was strongly influenced by the first and second British invasions as well as the American bands of the '60s and '70s and artists in the New Wave and Punk eras. I am also drawn to a number of jazz artists, and have an extensive collection of West African, Brazilian and Cuban music.
I have also been fortunate to participate in music-centered trips to Cuba, Brazil, Senegal, Mali, Cape Verde, Ethiopia and Zanzibar, and even took a two-week percussion course in Bahia, Brazil. These experiences have all become part of my music, which continues to evolve. Often, I will find a melody or riff while playing the guitar, and fashion it into a song. Occasionally, I wake up with a tune in my head. Sometimes the songs come easily and other times I have to work very hard on them. I try to avoid falling into a rut, repeating melodies and chord changes that I have used before.
The Inspiration Behind The Songs
I am not always aware of what I am writing about until long after I have written the lyrics. For example, my house was destroyed by Hurricane Sandy and I lost a lot of instruments and many other things. Afterwards, I began writing songs for the CD that would become "Helping Hands." It wasn't until the songs had been written and recorded, that it dawned on me that these songs were born from the trauma of the hurricane.
Music helped me get through the turbulent years of my adolescence. It has provided solace throughout my life. As a psychiatrist, I believe that I have had a positive impact on some of my patient's lives. My goal as a songwriter, is to write songs that support and enhance the lives of the people that hear them.

Warehouse jobs have been on the rise over the past decade, and industry experts say that this trend isn't changing any time soon. Even with the increases in automation in warehouses, fulfillment centers and distribution centers, there is still a tremendous demand (and shortage!) for workers in this industry. If you're looking for work, this just may be the industry for you.
Why are there so many jobs?
It all starts with e-commerce: the ability to order socks from your couch and a new bike from the comfort of your own bed. E-commerce has transformed the way we shop. According to a new Internet Retailer analysis of industry data, consumers spent $517.36 billion online with U.S. merchants in 2018, which was an increase of 15% from 2017. That's massive growth! With this increase in demand comes a need to increase supply. Someone needs to fulfill, store and distribute those goods. While fulfillment centers, warehouses and distribution centers are being built all across America to keep up with the demand, they haven't been able to hire a workforce quick enough to staff those facilities.
The jobs are there and the demand is high. Are you looking for work?
If you aren't an expert here, don't worry. You don't need to be. But it will help to make you sound more qualified if you have a basic understanding of how these facilities operate and what terminology they use. Do some basic internet research to learn the various roles, responsibilities and expectations within this industry.
Many of the positions within a warehouse require some sort of physical exertion, so it is important to be confident that you are physically capable to carry out these parts of the job. Of course, machinery is typically used for the very heavy lifting, but warehouse jobs can call for hours spent on your feet and moving moderately heavy objects by hand. You will be most marketable if you are healthy and in good physical condition.
A lot of the jobs you will find at a warehouse do not require many credentials or specific experience, which may work to your advantage if this is a newer industry for you. However, they will most likely require you to have a Driver's License and High School Diploma (or GED). Additionally, many facilities will require drug testing and an "All Clear" Background Check.
This is an important one. Warehouses are like machines, and every part of the system needs to function effectively and efficiently. Employees need to be able to work together, accept direction and be relied upon in order for the operation to run smoothly. Due to the nature of the work, the potential for injury and accidents can be higher than with other, more sedentary jobs. So, teamwork and dependability are very important to hiring managers.
Computer requirements are typically light in these roles, but a basic knowledge is usually necessary for the job. Many facilities have implemented some type of a WMS (Warehouse Management System) that automates, tracks, manages and coordinates a lot of the activity in a warehouse. These systems help to streamline processes and make workflow much more efficient. Typically they are user-friendly and can be learned quite quickly. So don't worry if you don't have any experience with a WMS yet!

Bottled, canned, organic, and homemade juice.
Firstly, bottled juices offer two advantages; 1. They are typically larger than cans. Since I like my bloodies big and fat, this is better. 2. Unlike a punch-top can, the plastic bottles are resealable. There's nothing worse than the metallic taste of a half can of tomato juice after it's sat in the refrigerator for a week or two. The downsides are higher price and potential degradation of flavor due to exposure to light. The most common varieties of bottled tomato juice are Campbell's, Mott's, and V8. I'm not a big fan of Campbell's. It tastes very similar to their soup. Mott's is too salty. V8 is better, but the regular recipe runs a bit salty. I go for the low sodium V8 in the bottle.
Canned is the most common form in which TJ is sold. It's the least expensive to package and ship. It also protects the juice from the potential degrading effect of light. Because of these advantages, it's the most common, least expensive, and offers the widest variety of brands. As mentioned, the main downside to cans is that a tool is needed to open them and, once opened, juice flavor can degrade quickly. Travelling with an open can is a bit tricky too. Campbell's, Red Gold, Sacramento, V8, and Mott's are the most widely available. At MBFBM, we have tried them all. Again and again, we come back to Sacramento. The price is good and the flavor is consistently rich and satisfying.
In this day and age of genetically modified plants, chemical preservatives and pesticides, many are choosing to use organic products. There are several good organic tomato juices available. Most are from smaller producers with only regional distribution. Nothing wrong with that- shop local! Check with your local food co-op, or specialty grocery for the best selection of organic juices. It's a great option, but it will cost, on average, 50% more than non-organic corporate brands. As demand increases, this will probably change.
Finally, there is the highest level of taste with the lowest level of convenience: Homemade tomato juice. If you have the time and the tomatoes. try it out. It may spoil you though. Nothing from a can or plastic bottle will stand up to the bold fresh flavor of home-made TJ!
Homemade Tomato Juice, is delicious and nutritious. You can drink it fresh, or can it for winter consumption. Best of all, you control the spices and flavorings you put in. Once you master the knack of making tomato juice, you can make it taste just like store-bought …… by adding a ton of salt. But, you are making it fresh to eat healthy. So just a little salt, and a whole lot of herbs, will make for a sensational tomato or vegetable juice.
Here's a recipe on how to make homemade tomato juice or vegetable juice.
Tomato Juice or Vegetable Juice?
Tomato juice is made with tomatoes, and not other vegetable ingredients.
Vegetable juice includes tomatoes as the main ingredient. The addition of any combination of other vegetables, turns tomato juice into a tasty, nutritious, vitamin filled vegetable juice. When this author's kids were little, they loved to make "V-4″ and V-6" , and so forth. We used a wide variety of vegetables that were ripe in our garden, when we are ready to make it. So, each time we made it, we enjoyed a slightly different taste.
Wash tomatoes, remove stem, and cut into quarters. Peeling is not necessary. The peel and seeds will be extracted in the strainer.
Place cut up tomatoes into a 7 quart, or larger, cooking pot. Fill almost to the top.
If making a vegetable juice, add any or all, additional vegetables.
Cook until vegetables have softened.
Strain off some of the water, which will rise to the top.
Put into the refrigerator for fresh juice. Or, can for winter consumption.

Brewster Kahle (New York, 21 oktober 1960) is een Amerikaanse internetondernemer, activist en bibliothecaris. Hij is bekend geworden als oprichter van Internet Archive.

Levensloop
Kahle studeerde in 1982 af aan MIT in computerwetenschap. Hij geldt als de uitvinder van het WAIS-systeem: om dit aan de man te brengen, richtte hij WAIS, Inc op. Dit bedrijf verkocht hij later aan AOL. Ook richtte hij het bedrijf Alexa Internet op, dat hij verkocht aan Amazon. Alexa zou later helpen bij het leveren van webpagina's voor Internet Archive, Kahle's grootste project.

Door middel van het non-profit Internet Archive tracht Kahle zijn ideaal te realiseren van Universal Access to all Knowledge (universele toegang tot alle kennis). Internet Archive geldt inmiddels als een van de grootste collecties websites, films, audio, boeken en software.

Kahle participeert ook in andere projecten die digitale toegang tot informatie moeten bevorderen, zoals Open Content Alliance, en door samenwerking met de Bibliotheca Alexandrina. Ook werkt hij samen met XS4All om te komen tot een Europese versie van Internet Archive. In 2012 werd Kahle door de Internet Society geëerd voor zijn bijdrage aan het internet door opgenomen te worden in de Internet Hall of Fame.

However, the remodeling should never reduce the functionality. In other words, do not let the new updated look sacrifices some significant functions of the kitchen like access point. Therefore, what needed is a combination of new look and more enhanced functionality.

Los Angeles Dodgers owners Mark Walter and Todd Boehly are purchasing the minority stake of the Los Angeles Lakers being sold by billionaire Philip Anschutz, according to five people with direct knowledge of the matter.
The transaction values the Lakers at about $5 billion, according to two of the people, who were granted anonymity because the matter is private. Sportico last night reported that Anschutz, founder of entertainment giant AEG, was selling his 27% stake in the storied basketball franchise. The Lakers are held by Anschutz personally and are not part of AEG's holdings.
Anschutz's stake comes with the right of first refusal to buy any additional shares that come to market. That right will transfer to Boehly and Walter, according to one of the people. The deal, which may close in early July, requires approval from the NBA Board of Governors.
Boehly couldn't immediately be reached for comment. An AEG spokesman couldn't be immediately reached outside of business hours.
The Lakers were valued at $5.14 billion in Sportico's most recent valuations, the third-highest total in the NBA behind the Knicks ($5.42 billion) and Warriors ($5.21 billion).

Don't Be Koi
Connie Avery
"There are times when I am working on the acrylic line paintings that I may get frustrated or stuck. At these times I like to take out a blank canvas and allow myself to paint aggressively, without a theme or direction. Don't Be Koi was one of those times. I mainly paint in acrylic because I like to work quickly.
My older brother has a koi pond and I love watching them swim. They are very colorful. Allowing myself to release my energy in the movements of water and nature is very calming. As my vision gradually gets more restricted, painting is my release of the feelings of fear, and sadness. I will continue to paint for as long as I can because it is my safe place."

Connie Avery (she/her/hers)
"I love the colors, movements, and stories in art. I love the joy, surprises, feelings, and emotions that come from creating art."
Connie's art is a reflection of her experiences, her family, and her vision. Connie lives with Retinitis Pigmentosa and Usher's Syndrome, diseases which progressively reduce one's ability to see and hear. Her interest in art stemmed from a young age, but coming from a large family and losing her father at the tender age of 9, it was important for Connie to have a more viable and stable career to help support her family. Because of this, she dedicated her first career to nursing. After having her daughter at age 40, her vision and hearing impairments were making it harder to find jobs that she could work confidently, so she applied for college to pursue her dream of being an artist. After 5 years, she graduated proudly with her degree.
Connie's youngest brother was also visually and hearing impaired with an affinity for art. He enjoyed working with oil paints and creating stained glass windows. Connie believes his vision was getting worse and he was unable to deal with the loss, which led him to take his own life. With the loss of her brother, she needed to find a way to be positive even if her vision was limited. She turned to art to keep her occupied and independent, and her brother's stained glass windows inspired her to use acrylic paints, ink, and painter's tape to create a style that resembles stained glass windows, in his honor.
Her painting style also transformed when she received cataract removal surgery which changed her sense of light. She describes, "my central vision became a keyhole of vivid and lovely colors. I couldn't wait to show people all the beautiful varieties of color in nature and in artwork." She goes on to say, "I felt alive and inspired and wanted to paint as much as possible to make up for the years I was seeing hazy with cataracts." Even though the Retinitis Pigmentosa still limits her peripheral vision, it does not limit her vision centrally. The thrill of seeing colors, lights, and atmospheric presence of shadows and highlights inspires Connie to push the boundaries of acrylic painting to another level.
One of her favorite things about art is seeing someone else's smile and hearing them tell her what they see in her work. Because of her restricted vision, Connie doesn't always see something until the viewer points it out, and this moment of discovery delights her. When she's not painting, Connie enjoys doing photography, making mosaic windows and pottery tiles, tending to her garden, and caring for her guide dog and 2 cats. She has spent time giving back in the community by holding talks about art and vision loss for individuals in retirement homes and high school students. She has been a keynote speaker for the Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired and hopes to continue to tell her story verbally and visually as an artist and advocate for those with disabilities.

Great albums as usual Paul!

Danger Danger - Screw It!
I'm so very glad that someone else has now posted a list of what they are listening to. There's some great stuff there, including some that I do not have in my music library. I am a great fan of BJH and have many albums by them. I did see them live several times back in the day. I agree with you about the Bad English album.
The album by Switchfoot was completely unknown to me, so I've just checked it out. It's possibly just a little too funky for my taste! As for Blackfoot Sue...well, there's a real blast from the past. I had no idea that this 3 album set was out. I may have to purchase, although I've got as crazy backlog of unlistened to purchases as it is!!

On June 2 Ogawa and Sawa made the first ascent of an unnamed peak of 16,400 feet near the Incachiriyasca Pass. We crossed the latter pass to the Palcay Pass, which cuts the east ridge, and continued on to Base Camp, which lay between the east and northeast ridges at 15,000 feet. On June 9 we placed Camp I on the northeast ridge at 16,400 feet, Camp II at 17,400 feet on June 11, Camp III above the junction of the east and northeast ridges at 18,375 feet on June 17, Camp IV at 19,250 feet on June 20. There was difficult climbing on the route and about 4000 feet of rope were fixed. On June 21 Rito, Iwama, Miyamoto and Kawada completed the third ascent of Salcantay (20,342 feet)*; Ogawa, Sawa, Horie and Rito repeated the ascent the next day. On July 16 Rito and Kawada made the first ascent of Quishuar (18,947 feet) from the north; it lies northwest of Salcantay. We made the second ascent of three peaks of the Mellizos: minor peak (17,454 feet) on August 20 by Kawada and Ogawa; main peak (17,750 feet) and north peak (17,700 feet) on August 31 by Iwama and Kawada (Also called Ccollpachinac; first ascent by Americans Arnis, Ayres, Matthews and Michael on July 29, 1956. —Editor.) The second ascent of Cima Rocallosa (16,810 feet) was made on August 27 by Maeshiba, Kawada and M. Morales and on August 28 by Ogawa and Horie. (First ascent by New Zealanders Mackay, Frundorfler and Walsh on June 23, 1962. —Editor.) Kawada and Ogawa made the second ascent of Nevado Blanco (17,790 feet) on September 3. (First ascent by Frundorfler and Walsh on June 25, 1962. —Editor.) These last three peaks lie between two and three miles northeast of Pumasillo.
*This altitude (6200 meters) was given by the Japanese. A more commonly accepted altitude is that of Dr. Egeler's survey of 6081 meters or 19,951 feet. —Editor.

Named one of Malta's most romantic restaurants, Blue Elephant presents authentic Thai cuisine in a lush setting. Dine surrounded by an oasis of exotic flowers, blooming greenery and waterfalls.
We enjoyed Blue Elephant a lot. The service, the decor, the food. All was amazing.
My WIfe and I had a wonderful moment, service was really good and our meals took us back to Thailand.
Wish to thank you for the lovely service. Our waiter was so friendly and attentive. It was appreciated that without saying much, he noticed that one of our group was celebrating her birthday and can assure you the cake and candle brought tears to her eyes. Well done. Sorry for not having his name as would have loved to mention it. Once again well done and thank for you for a memorable evening.
We've enjoyed the evening from the start to the end - perfect !
A memorable meal shared with friends. Loved the fish cakes, the seafood soup. Had the Royal fixed menu. It was great!
The features inside im sure you will not find something like that in malta, so its a plus. When it comes to dishes every time i came everything was always jaw dropping. Nothing else needed just keep up the good work. Top notch !
Great food. Good service. Nice decoration. 65€ a head. The mixed vegetables, pla neung manao and ped makarm were amazing, the dessert wasn't so great though.
Magical evening! The location of the table was just next to the water and near the bridge. The food was exquisite and the staff was lovely. They remembered details I suggested on email and provided a perfect birthday to my husband! I love this place!
