The narrator in today's story is almost akin to a carnival barker. Step right up, look at the miserable middle-class family of Long Island! See how they pretend!
The opening paragraph establishes an amazing tone of judgment, comedy and anger. It's desperate.
The joke then becomes – and I hope this isn't spoiling the story for those who haven't read it (it's three pages long, just go read it already) – the story's shifting target. You can step right up and analyze the Crutchman family, as the narrator desires you to, but it turns out there isn't much dirt under the surface. The joke isn't on them; it's on us. And that's quite a trick on Cheever's part.
The Crutchmans were so very, very happy and so temperate in all their habits and so pleased with everything that came their way that one was bound to suspect a worm in their rosy apple and that the extraordinary rosiness of the fruit was only meant to conceal the gravity and the depth of the infection. Their house, for instance, on Hill Street with all those big glass windows. Who but someone suffering from a guilt complex would want so much light to pour into their rooms? And all the wall-to-wall carpeting as if an inch of bare floor (there was none) would touch on some deep memory of unrequition and loneliness. And there was a certain necrophilic ardor to their gardening. Why be so intense about digging holes and planting seeds and watching them come up? Why this morbid concern with the earth? She was a pretty woman with that striking pallor you so often find in maniacs. Larry was a big man who used to garden without a shirt, which may have shown a tendency to infantile exhibitionism.


Soccer season is quickly coming to an end here in the county. I'm so proud of Jess for getting out from behind the PS3 controller and playing an outdoor sport. Soccer was very new to us both. I have to say, he has grown SO much as a player over the last couple of seasons and I've slipped right into the soccer mom roll. Yes, I'm a yeller. I really enjoy watching the games. Call it my competitive side. I know the kids need a much deserved break, but I can't wait for next season!
These were really simple to create and would be a good one to mass produce. Each card base is Very Vanilla with a layer of Kraft. The stars are die cut in Brilliant Blue using the Big Shot and the Stars #2 Originals Die. Black vintage brads on the first card and some White Gel Pen for detail. The ball is masked and stamped repetitively to give the impression of motion. The second card uses Stampin' Up!'s long retired Magic Mesh. The soccer ball perfectly fits the 1-1/4" circle punch. This is the first time I've ever used it…it's pretty cool! The sentiment (also retired) is from Much Appreciated.
Thanks for stopping in today. I hope you've been inspired. Let me know what you think. I love to read your comments.
All supplies are Stampin' Up! and can be purchased HERE unless noted as being retired.

BTP celebrates five years of Project Servator
Under Project Servator, unpredictable, highly visible and intelligence-led British Transport Police (BTP) patrols disrupt a wide range of criminal activity, including terrorism, while providing a reassuring presence for passengers.
PD Oscar
The officers that carry out these patrols are specially trained in identifying individuals who may be planning or preparing to commit a crime. This can range from someone shoplifting in a station to an individual carrying out hostile reconnaissance in preparation for a terrorist attack – the tell-tale signs that bring them to officers' attention are the same.
Officers are supported by a range of specialist resources, such as armed police and search dogs, not to mention over 150,000 CCTV cameras across the railway network.
Project Servator also involves working together with other police forces, businesses, train operating companies and the public to build a network of vigilance, and ensure the UK's rail network is a difficult place for criminals and terrorists to operate.
Since 2015 there have been almost 650 arrests as a result of Project Servator deployments across England, Scotland and Wales, which have seen everything from knives and drugs to stolen goods and wanted criminals being taken off the streets.
A few recent examples include:
A man was seen to be behaving suspiciously at Wood Lane Underground station by Project Servator officers in August. Following a search, he was found to be carrying a quantity of class B drugs and a lock knife. He was arrested and later charged with possession of a class B drug and possession of a bladed article.
In September a man caught the attention of plain clothed Project Servator officers at Basingstoke before going onto exchange an item with another man. The man was stopped and searched by uniformed officers and found to be in possession of a large quantity Class A and B Drugs. He was then charged and remanded with Possession With Intent To Supply.
While on a Project Servator patrol at Bath station in September, specially trained officers recognised a male they knew to be wanted for failing to appear. He was arrested and taken to custody.
A 22-year-old man caught the attention of officers on a Project Servator patrol in Manchester in November, after he was seen to be behaving suspiciously. He was searched and found with a stolen tablet from a nearby takeaway hidden down his trousers. He was arrested on suspicion of handling stolen goods and later reported for the offence.
Superintendent Sandra England said: "We are delighted to be celebrating five years of Project Servator at British Transport Police this month.
Project Servator
"Project Servator deployments are vital in creating a network of vigilance and a difficult environment for terrorists considering their targets and individuals looking to commit crime.
"Everyone that uses and works across our rail network has a vital role to play in being our eyes and ears, and I would like to thank the public for their continued support in reporting things that don't feel right to them.
"If you see us out and about, come and say hello and find out more about the work we are doing to keep you safe."

Porsche's New 911 Turbo Cabriolet
Sporty, elegant, emotion-packed � the new Audi A3 Cabriolet is making its appearance in perfect time for spring 2008. The open-top Audi A3 is the premium option in the compact class. It offers the sporting genes of the A3 coupled with the uncompromising quality that distinguishes every Audi model. There are four engines to choose from, together with an extensive range of individual equipment options. Sales commence in Germany at the start of February 2008.
Audi convertible models generally sport a classic fabric top � and in the case of the Audi A3 Cabriolet this feature lends its profile a note of harmonious elegance and coupé-like sportiness. Its soft top is notable for its light weight and excellent fit. It can be opened hydraulically in just nine seconds; when open, it takes up very little space. The hood is available in semi-automatic and fully automatic versions, in the latter instance as a specially soundproofed acoustic hood.
The body structure of this premium convertible from Audi contains a high proportion of high-strength, ultra-high-strength and hot-formed steels, as well as a large number of reinforcing measures that provide maximum rigidity and crash safety. Inside, the accustomed uncompromising build quality, attractive design and exemplary ergonomics create an atmosphere of sporting elegance. There is ample space here for four occupants. The rear seat backs can be folded down, increasing the luggage capacity from 260 to 674 liters � whether the hood is up or down!
The A3 Cabriolet is being built in four engine versions � two petrol and two TDI. They combine ample power with impressive efficiency. All of them are direct injection units with turbocharging. The performance range extends from 105 bhp to 200 bhp. As an option, the innovative S tronic dual-clutch gearbox takes charge of applying the engine's power to the wheels.
The Audi dynamic suspension lends the A3 Cabriolet superior agility. It comes complete with responsive electromechanical power steering, which consumes very little energy. The four-link rear suspension combines superb comfort with sporty handling properties. As well as the standard suspension, there is also the option of sports suspension.
Audi is offering the Audi A3 Cabriolet in the Attraction and Ambition equipment lines. In both cases its equipment specification is extensive and the Ambition line includes 17-inch aluminum wheels, sports suspension and sports seats, among other features. An S line exterior package and S line sports package are available from quattro GmbH.

TV preview: The Good Karma Hospital
If you're craving a winter warmer, a dose of ITV's new six-part medical drama The Good Karma Hospital might be all the help you need.
Thursday, 2nd February 2017, 12:39 pm
Updated Thursday, 2nd February 2017, 12:41 pm
HAVE STETHOSCOPE, WILL TRAVEL: Amrita Acharia stars as Dr Ruby Walker in ITVs new six-part Sunday evening series The Good Karma Hospital.
Both warming and life-affirming, it's set to throw shade over dreary evenings, by escorting viewers to a vibrant coastal town in tropical south India.
Brimming with character, colour and charisma, the show tells the story of junior doctor Ruby Walker (Amrita Acharia), who arrives in India looking for a job and a distraction from heartbreak.
She anticipates the sunshine and picture-perfect beaches, she's even prepared for the tuk-tuks and the Delhi-belly – but what she doesn't expect are the realities of work, life and even love at an under-resourced and overworked cottage hospital.
Run by a gloriously eccentric Englishwoman – Doctor Lydia Fonseca (Amanda Redman) – The Good Karma Hospital is the beating heart of the local community, held together by a hard-working, hand-picked team of British and Indian medics.
But as Walker adjusts to her new life in India, she realises that the hospital is more than just a rundown medical outpost – it's a home.
The Good Karma Hospital, ITV, Sunday, 9pm

Dancers are some of my favorite photographic subjects. Having attended the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Houston, Texas, I gained an appreciation for dancers early in life. You could always tell the dancers in school by the way they carried themselves when they walked into a room.
I recently had the privilege of photographing Jewellianna. She needed some images for an upcoming audition, so I set up an impromptu studio space in my family room using a large roll of grey seamless paper.
I used a 2400 Watt/second Speedotron pack and two heads. I set one up in a 5' octobank softbox with a grid camera left to serve as the main light. On the other head I used a small 7" reflector and a narrow grid placed camera right, behind the subject, to serve as an edge light (notice the side of her head and neck). I also used a Nikon SB-600 speedlight, camera right, near the camera to serve as fill. Both the Nikon Speedlight and the Speedotron pack were triggered wirelessly via PocketWizards.
See other images of dancers on this blog.
What you see here is an image of my daughter from our recent photo session. You can see the first image here. We took a different approach in shooting this one. Instead of having her progress directly from right to left ending with a rear curtain sync flash pop, we had her twirl around and I manually popped the flash at a moment of my choosing. I then let the exposure continue a bit to fill in the frame some more.
What are your thoughts? Is this kind of photography too "out there" for your tastes? Which image do you prefer? Why?
Studio shot of my daughter moving across the frame. I had a lot of fun collaborating with her on this shot. Click on the image for a larger version.
Setup info: 4' softbox with grid (to control the spread of the light) to the left of the model. Hot light about 20' to the right of the frame.

A Wireless Sensor Network is a collection of many tiny sensing and wireless communication device called sensor nodes. Each node consists of a processor, a battery and a transceiver for communication. Nodes are connected to each other via transceiver. Localization of sensor nodes in wireless sensor nodes plays an important role in many applications. It is important to monitor the location of the data source and event occurrences to track the target and phenomena. This paper provides different kind of localization techniques and their properties. The authors have also done a comparative study to filter out the better algorithms. Each algorithm's advantages and drawbacks have been highlighted.


Assume that Nokia has a patent on a product A (mobile phone), and later on motorola has got a patent issued on product B, which is an improvement on product A (flip form mobile phone).
1. Nokia can stop others from manufacturing, selling,using product A (mobile phones).
2. Motorola can stop others from manufacturing, selling, using product B (flip form mobile phones) but not mobile phones without flip forms.
Motorola wants to manufacture product B (flip form mobile phones). Since it has patent on the same, nobody can stop them. However nokia has patent on mobile phone itself. In this case, do motorola need to get a license from Nokia for manufacturing flip form mobile phones??
Can somebody comment on the rights of motorola to manufacture product B.
Motorola wants to manufacture product B (flip form mobile phones). Since it has patent on the same, nobody can stop them.
Wrong. Having a patent does not give you the right to make, use, or sell anything -- just the right to exclude others. See your point 3 above.
However nokia has patent on mobile phone itself. In this case, do motorola need to get a license from Nokia for manufacturing flip form mobile phones??
This is a common situation known as "blocking patents". The typical solution is a cross license, allowing Nokia and Motorola to both make, use, and sell A and B. In essence, a significant and valuable contribution to the technology becomes a sort of price of admission to the marketplace.
Patent is a negative right. Right?
1) if i want to manufacture motorola's patented flip form mobile phones. Do i need to take license from both nokia and motorola?
2) if i developed some flip form mobile phones by taking a license from motorola, and then nokia sues me for developing (infringing) their patented mobile phones. What happens??
Yes, you need to get a license from each. I'll bet you can answer your second question yourself.
Can a license be shared with/or transferred to others?
For Example, if i purchased a motorola phone through a motorola retailer , it means that i have an implied license to use the purchased motorola phone. Suppose if i share the same with my brother, do my brother infringes the patent?
In general, how exhaustive is the rights of a license? Does it depend on what actually has been written on the license documents?

Nation's Chess Capital Welcomes 2016 U.S. Championships
Nicole Halpin

Garry Kasparov to face top three finishers in blitz competition.
SAINT LOUIS (January 7, 2016) – For the eighth consecutive year, the nation's top 24 chess players will gather in Saint Louis to compete for the titles of U.S. Champion and U.S. Women's Champion.
The 2016 U.S. Chess Championships, boasting one of the strongest fields of American men and women ever assembled, will be held simultaneously at the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Saint Louis (CCSCSL) from April 13 through April 29.
The 12-player field of the 2016 U.S. Championship will invite eight players determined by the January 2016 U.S. Chess rating supplement. Offers will also be extended to 2015 U.S. Champion GM Hikaru Nakamura, the 2015 U.S. Open Champion GM Alex Shabalov, 16-year-old IM Akshat Chandra, the 2015 U.S. Junior Closed Champion and one wildcard.
The 2016 U.S. Women's Championship will feature seven-time U.S. Women's Champion GM Irina Krush, who seeks to maintain her iron grip over an up-and-coming field of American females. The 12-player round robin will also include 8 players selected by the January 2016 U.S. Chess rating supplement, two wildcards and the U.S. Junior Girls Champion, 15-year-old WIM Ashritha Eswaran, who also appeared in the 2014 U.S. Women's Championship.
"We're excited to assemble America's best chess players in Saint Louis for the eighth year running," said Tony Rich, Executive Director of the CCSCSL. "The top rated American players have all expressed interest in participating in the 2016 U.S. Championships."
The U.S. Championship will culminate with the top three players competing in a special blitz round robin format against legendary chess champion Garry Kasparov. The round robin matches will take place over two days upon the conclusion of the Championships.

What we call "trauma" today has Greek origins meaning "wound" 1 and is defined as a powerful emotional response to a distressing event, such as abuse, neglect, accidents, tragedies, abandonment, disease, loss, and war. It is the experience of some event that overwhelms one's ability to cope. Trauma may have happened in the past, either once or repeatedly, but the lingering effects continue into the present and future.
"woe to him through whom they [offenses] do come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones" (Luke 17:1-2, NKJV).
That which is hidden will never find healing, it is important to find a safe place to be heard. Hope lies in a safe, loving relationship built on trust so that healing can begin.
Find a trusted Christian Pastor or Counselor who can help you interpret your experiences through the eyes of a loving God.
Be prepared to walk slowly through this process – do not rush the healing or it will be incomplete.
Get help for any unhealthy behaviors you may be used to deal with the pain such as drugs, cutting, eating disorders, promiscuity, anger, withdrawing, risky behaviors, etc.
The beginning of Isaiah 61 portrays Christ's personal ministry as one of healing broken hearts, freeing the bound and captive, and comforting and consoling the mourning while granting joy, praise, and a solid testimony for God's glory.
The goal of the trauma healing process is to bring the experiences to God and allow His Word to help us find ourselves, find our true meaning and bring God's gracious and merciful love into our wounds. Telling our trauma story is necessary, not just to relive it but to speak the truth and God's perspective into the experience.
God promises to deal justly with those who have done evil to us while redeeming us from false guilt and shame.
In His Word, God tells stories of trauma that would be more comfortable to omit. The Old Testament is full of narratives of harm and abuse, but God uses these stories in his redemptive plan. For example: Judah and Tamar (Genesis 38), a Levite and his concubine (Judges 19), Amnon and Tamar (2 Samuel 13), Jonah shipwreck and swallowed by a whale (Jonah 1:15-17), and Paul's beating, imprisonment and three shipwrecks (2 Cor. 11:23-28).
God speaks specifically to the depths of our suffering. The book of Lamentations gives words to the feelings and pain of abuse. The Psalms are places of refuge where the hurting can find comfort from a God that understands the pain. In scripture, the victim no longer feels alone or without hope. God gives us words to describe our hurt, pain, and reality.
God gives us permission to feel and express our questions, our confusion and our doubts about His love.
No experience is bigger than God.
Here at America's Keswick we strive to walk with the wounded, showing them His grace, as we seek to minister to the hurting, lonely, and addicted through ministries such as the Colony of Mercy, Barbara's Place, and ENRICH.

Each December, we do a "family night" at Hollywood Studios. We have a nice sit down dinner and then stroll through the Osborne Family Lights. Staying with tradition, last night was our night! It was get a warmer-than-normal night (70 degrees) but we did our best to into the Holiday spirit.
It was my kids' first time there and they loved it.
And then time to see the lights!

1. You have a discount bond with a time to maturity of one year. The market price of this instrument is 97%. You want the model price to match it while you build you yield curve with ED futures; the contracts price as follows: 1st = 99, 2nd = 98, 4th =97. What is the price of the third contract?
2. Two bonds A and B have the same yield to maturity. A prices at 99 while B prices at 102. Which one has the higher coupon?
3. I give you a flat yield curve from 0 to 4 years: 2%. You have a five year swap contract that pays annually and want to use it to extend the curve to 5 years. How low can the swap par rate go before forward between 4 and 5 years goes negative?
4. You are a risk manager that needs to hedge the IR risk on a portfolio of bonds. Your hedging instruments are futures and swaps. Discuss how you would go about mitigating sensitivity to changes in the interest rates. You may consider either bucketing the risk or using a holistic approach where you look at dollar duration for the entire portfolio.

Twitter CEO: 'We Suck at Dealing With Abuse And It's All My Fault'
Mark Shrayber
Twitter CEO Dick Costolo just admitted something many people have been saying for a long time: Twitter is awful when it comes to abuse and harassment. But Costolo, who admits that the awful behavior of trolls is driving users away, is taking personal responsibility and plans to change how Twitter deals with users whose sole purpose for being on the platform is to violate and abuse others.
The Verge obtained an internal memo that Costolo sent to employees after a piece by Lindy West, detailing the abuse she received on the platform, ran on This American Life. According to West, at least one user created a Twitter account impersonating West's deceased father. Employees wanted to know what could be done.
In response, Costolo sent the following memo.
We suck at dealing with abuse and trolls on the platform and we've sucked at it for years. It's no secret and the rest of the world talks about it every day. We lose core user after core user by not addressing simple trolling issues that they face every day.
I'm frankly ashamed of how poorly we've dealt with this issue during my tenure as CEO. It's absurd. There's no excuse for it. I take full responsibility for not being more aggressive on this front. It's nobody else's fault but mine, and it's embarrassing.
We're going to start kicking these people off right and left and making sure that when they issue their ridiculous attacks, nobody hears them.
Everybody on the leadership team knows this is vital.
Costolo also added a follow-up:
Let me be very very clear about my response here. I take PERSONAL responsibility for our failure to deal with this as a company. I thought i did that in my note, so let me reiterate what I said, which is that I take personal responsibility for this. I specifically said "It's nobody's fault but mine"
We HAVE to be able to tell each other the truth, and the truth that everybody in the world knows is that we have not effectively dealt with this problem even remotely to the degree we should have by now, and that's on me and nobody else. So now we're going to fix it, and I'm going to take full responsibility for making sure that the people working night and day on this have the resources they need to address the issue, that there are clear lines of responsibility and accountability, and that we don't equivocate in our decisions and choices.
While Twitter has declined to respond to questions about the memo, The Verge notes that the company will be meeting regarding its fourth quarter earnings tomorrow. There will most certainly be a great deal to discuss regarding the company's growth, but based on these memos it's likely that one of the main topics of discussion will be how Twitter can better serve its community and protect its users (particularly women, prominent and otherwise) from the abuse and harassment that's been lobbed against them.

It would be really interesting to develop accurate profiles of typical trolls: age, background, education, income, gender.
We all think we know that it's chubby white neckbeards in basements, but I'd like to know more: who are these people, and is it a phase, or an actual lifelong vocation? Does it manifest itself offline, too? What did this personality do prior to the Internet?
I don't think walls and moats will ever be the solution. Understanding the motivation might help, as well as knowing if it's a lifelong or fluid impulse. That, and cattle prods.

It turns out, the scope and nature of PPD are far different than we originally thought.
After my son was born, "How are you feeling?" took on a whole new meaning. What some people -- specifically my OB and pediatrician -- really meant was, was I feeling depressed?
But as it turns out, the scope and nature of PPD are far different than we originally thought. According to an article in today's New York Times, recent studies show depression often starts during pregnancy and can crop up any time in the first year after baby is born. Meanwhile, symptoms can linger long after baby's first birthday.
New research is also giving us a better idea of just how many women experience symptoms of maternal mental illness. According to the article, studies have found that at least one in eight -- and as many as one in five moms and moms-to-be -- battle depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar disorder or some combination.
For their part, scientists attribute maternal mental illness to a trifecta of genes, stress and fluctuating hormones. "Hormones go up more than a hundredfold" during pregnancy and take a nosedive after you give birth, says Dr. Margaret Spinelli, director of the Women's Program in Columbia University's psychiatry department. This dramatic drop can "disrupt brain chemistry," she adds. But figuring out who's vulnerable is no piece of cake. Some women are genetically predisposed to PPD, while others are more sensitive to stress (something a new parent has in spades). But there also are many cases involving women who have none of the risk factors.
Studies have also confirmed that women shouldn't ignore PPD symptoms. Not only can they keep a mom from fully bonding with her child, they can also harm baby's emotional and cognitive health.
Personally, I think these findings have major benefits for moms and moms-to-be. Now there's even more evidence to show that postpartum depression can happen to any of us. Further, it's not something to be ashamed about, and it definitely doesn't mean you're a bad mom.
Wondering whether you're showing signs of PPD? You can take our postpartum depression quiz to find out. And read up on what you can do to help prevent PPD.

Science fiction has dabbled in utopia before, but never as often as people might think. The early writers' visions of the future were often dire. There was Asimov's crumbling galactic empire in Foundation, or his murder-driven The Caves of Steel with its claustrophobically enclosed city. Philip K. Dick's nightmares took form in print, paranoid horror-like tales of a shifting reality in classics like Ubik or The Man in the High Castle. Richard Matheson's I Am Legend imagined the last man on Earth haunted by vampires.
There is a certain darkness to much good SF, an underlying sense that, beneath the glimmering golden surface of spaceships and robots and towers reaching up to the skies there is a shadow, and it will always be there, and might engulf us all. Once it might have been fear of the Bomb, now perhaps of cataclysmic climate collapse. War was then, and is now. Not much has changed. But dark SF has within it, too, a dark seduction. There is a place, it seems to whisper, for the cozy, the cheerful and optimistic in your heart. But deep down you know the truth. Things don't end well. Sit down. Relax. Read a book and wait for your inevitable extinction. What else is there to do?
The writers gathered here have all written some pretty dark stuff in their time, but what I hope you find here is a collection of science fiction tales as fine as any you may wish to encounter here at the start of the new twenties, with all the chaos our reality currently exhibits. This is science fiction with an edge – as science fiction must be, if it is to be relevant! And it comes from some of the top names in the field. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Inspirational Woman: Caroline Noublanche | Founder & CEO, Apricity
|In Tech Articles, Inspirational Women in Tech, WeAreTechwomen Articles
|By WeAreTechWomen Team
Caroline Noublanche is the founder and CEO of the world's first virtual fertility startup, called Apricity.
Apricity's digital solution provides access to world-class fertility advisors and assists patients with a fully customised journey, all easily navigated through a mobile app. It also uses AI to develop tools to maximise chances of conception for women.
Caroline Noublanche is an experienced entrepreneur. Before launching Apricity, she co-founded mobile app Prylos which, aged 27, she sold to Swedish giant Doro AB in 2011. Later she joined the AXA-backed incubator Kamet Ventures as an 'entrepreneur in residence'. Caroline also promotes a truly diverse workforce, with women making up four out of five of Apricity's C-Suite.
Tell us a bit about yourself, background and your current role
My journey as an entrepreneur started fairly young. I founded my first company, mobile app developer PRYLOS, when I was 27, and sold it to Swedish telecoms giant Doro AB in 2011, where I became vice president.
More recently, I joined AXA-backed incubator Kamet Ventures as an 'entrepreneur in residence' to help them build and launch disruptive startups in the health tech space. I recognised that IVF had experienced very little digital transformation in the past 40 years and was an area in need of disruption – this led me to found Apricity, the world's first virtual fertility clinic, in 2018.
Traditional fertility treatment is one of the most stressful and emotionally draining journeys you can go through. Apricity manages a fully-customised treatment journey that's easily navigated through a mobile app. It matches patients to world-class fertility experts, where they can enjoy virtual consultations, and to counsellors who are available for virtual sessions seven days a week. Our aim is to make sure our patients can do as much of the IVF treatment from their homes as possible, and are emotionally supported from beginning to end. This has proven particularly important in the context of COVID-19, where remote consultations and tests have been the only option for most patients.
Working alongside some of the leading fertility researchers and AI specialists, we're also developing cutting-edge products that better understand the factors affecting fertility and maximise the chances of conception. As CEO, my main role is to lead the business' growth and momentum, while continuing to provide an excellent service for our patients.
Did you ever sit down and plan your career?
I wouldn't say I sat down and strategically planned it, but it's always been important for me to see a clear trajectory to my career. I'm someone who's always looking to improve and develop, and the diversity of experiences and roles I've had throughout my career have given me the opportunity to build a strong professional skill set.
Have you faced any career challenges along the way and how did you overcome these?
Something that comes from being very driven is that sometimes you have to understand that not everyone is going to care as much as you do. I always expect the best from the people I work with, but the reality is you can't expect people to always be on their A game all the time. That said, if a colleague is consistently underperforming, it's important to be very upfront and transparent with them. Those conversations can be challenging but they're an inevitable part of running any business.
What has been your biggest career achievement to date?
I'm not very good at reflecting on my achievements, as I'm constantly looking towards my next milestone. So as soon as I've achieved a goal, I'll consider it done and put all my focus on the next goal – but I'm trying to take more time to reflect as I think it's an important thing to do!
At Apricity, one of my biggest achievements is helping to scale and grow the team in such a short space of time. What started out as a team of three in 2018 is now a team of 35 across three offices, only two years on. But overall, I'm most proud of what we're working towards on a day-to-day basis – we're a company with a truly meaningful purpose, dedicated to helping people through one of the most pivotal things they'll ever experience.
What one thing do you believe has been a major factor in you achieving success?
I'm very driven by nature and I like to channel that energy into the rest of my team. I'm always keen to share my visions with them, and to encourage and inspire motivation about what we're working towards. That ability to look ahead has definitely helped me to date – as a startup, you always need to be aiming towards the next thing.
What top tips would you give to an individual who is trying to excel in their career in technology?
Never stop questioning yourself. Even if you're doing a good job, you have to continue looking at how you can do things better. At Apricity, we have three core values for how we approach our work – excellence, care and empowerment. In technology, particularly in the healthcare domain, you should always be striving for excellence – that's not the same as striving for perfection, which we all know doesn't exist.
Do you believe there are still barriers for success for women working in tech, if so, how can these barriers be overcome?
Barriers definitely persist for women in tech – the proof is in the statistics, as tech companies today are still predominantly male. It's also true that in specific job roles, developers being a prime example, it's more difficult to find female talent – this comes back to the need for more inclusive STEM learning at the early stages as well as more role models for young girls to look up to.
There is also the very real factor of 'imposter syndrome', a recently coined term which disproportionately affects women. As a CEO, I'm acutely aware that women are less likely to proactively ask for a promotion or pay rise, as society doesn't teach women to be confident and assertive in the same way it does men. Hopefully this is starting to change though.
What do you think companies can do to support to progress the careers of women working in technology?
Tech companies need to be more rigorous when it comes to onboarding women at all levels. At Apricity, more than 50 per cent of our workforce is women, which is something I've made a conscious effort to maintain.
I also see it as one of my responsibilities to mentor the women in my team, by helping them grow in confidence and develop their skills. When I hear someone doubting themselves, I notice it and try to help them question those thinking patterns. Female leaders are naturally in a much better position to help enact this change, and this is why it's so important companies are hiring women at the top. Likewise, it's important for women to see more female representation at a senior leadership level so it becomes normalised.
Last but definitely not least, companies need to make sure their working practices accommodate working mothers. Too often, women still feel they have to choose between having a great career and a family because their workplaces don't sufficiently adapt to fit their needs – this should absolutely not be the case in 2020.
Currently only 17 per cent of tech positions are made up of women, if you could wave a magic wand, what is the one thing you would do to accelerate the pace of change for women in the industry?
If I could wave a magic wand, I would magic up more female role models in the world, including perhaps a female president of the United States or in France (where I live). Germany and New Zealand are great examples of countries led successfully by women. I think having major global role models like this goes a long way in showing younger generations what women can achieve.
What resources do you recommend for women working in tech?
I recently read a great book called 'Lead With Respect' by Michael Balle, which I'd recommend. The story follows the dialogue between a female CEO and an IT customer and is centred around different use cases within the practice of lean management, a leadership style we follow at Apricity.
I'd add that networking opportunities are also an essential resource and something women don't always consider high priority, but end up sacrificing for lack of time. I'd recommend always helping others and trying to do favours where you can, as you never know when you might want a favour from them in the future.

Mark Walker (1846–1924) was a fisherman and songwriter from Tickle Cove, Bonavista Bay, Newfoundland (now Newfoundland and Labrador). He is best remembered for writing the song "Tickle Cove Pond".

Mark Walker was born in Tickle Cove, Bonavista Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador in 1846.  He married Mary Downey of Coachman's Cove on August 30, 1873, and moved to Sweet Bay, Bonavista Bay around 1875.  There he worked as a fisherman, a boat builder, and the first postmaster of Sweet Bay.

Some of the songs written by Mark Walker include:
 "Tickle Cove Pond"
 "The Antis of Plate Cove"
 "Fanny's Harbour Bawn"
 "Girls From Sweet Bay"
 "Nellie Neil"
 "My Little Kettle"
 "Down By Jim Long's Stage"

Some of Mark Walker's relatives have asserted that Walker also wrote "The Star of Logy Bay," and that the song was originally called "Love's Lamentations."

It is believed that Mark Walker wrote all of his songs before he moved to Boston in 1906.

The Odd Couple (2012): One of 20th Century Theatre's enduring crowd-pleasers.
𝕺ne of the more successful productions I was involved in, as far as consistently high bums to seats ratio was The Odd Couple in 2012. It was directed by Mary Lindsay, who I had worked with previously during the rehearsed reading for Sitting Up for Michael. She was so perfect in the role of Doris, it tore me up that she was about twenty years too young for the part when it came to staging.

Well, I've had such a hectic month - three plays in 30 days - that I haven't been able to find space to write here about it.
First, I was in the brilliant Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival as part of Skewiff Theatre's production of Neil Simon's classic, The Odd Couple. Alongside the not inconsiderable talent of Joe Lindsay, Morgan Hearst, Christian Winterman (nee Jackson), Griffin Madill, Moninne Dargan and Emma McErlean we packed out the Dark Horse bar - a testament to the talent of director Mary Lindsay.
Then, within three days of finishing that my own company King's Fool Productions finally brought Sitting Up for Michael to the stage. I've been writing ...Michael for the guts of two years now, and to see it finally on it's feet in front of a paying audience is a hugely gratifying experience. Helen Donnelly resumed directorship after skippering the rehearsed reading that Accidental organised in November 2011. The cast, including Marianne March, Naomi Rocke, Cathy Brennan-Bradley, Benjamin Gould, Brian Patrick Kennedy and Michael O'Sullivan were sourced from across Ireland and worked exceptionally hard to bring my vision to fruition, and I can't thank them enough. With a backstage crew of Glenn Hamill (stage manager), Kerrie Milford (props/costumes), Shireen Azarmi (sound/tech) and Sharon Curran (production manager) we couldn't fail to put on a top class production. The play debuted in The Crescent Arts Centre, Belfast, before travelling down to The Strule Arts Centre, Omagh last week and tonight will conclude its tour in The Alley Theatre, Strabane. So far over 300 people have seen the show, so an extended tour in the near future may be on the cards!
Also, tomorrow (one day after ...Michael concludes - see not a moment to breathe!) I am in Accidental's production of Intervention, by Dave Kinghan. This thriller, set entirely within a tiny cell tells the story of two guerrilla performance artists who must try to figure out why they have been put there. This is the first full Accidental production I have been involved in, after working with them over the last few years on their rehearsed readings programme. It's great to be working with director Richard Lavery again, and with a three person cast made up of myself, Miche Doherty and Matt Faris, Accidental live up to their reputation as one of the leading emerging theatre companies in Belfast, and they are going to light up The Mac's Pick N Mix festival.
So as we go hurtling in to summer, I might have a chance to take a breather and watch some football - although not much by the looks of things!

Sitting Up for Michael and The Odd Couple - A busy May!
This month I am going into the busiest month of 2012 so far as I'll be embarking on two stage productions, my own Sitting Up for Michael and Skewiff Theatre Productions' version of Neil Simon's The Odd Couple.
The Odd Couple, which is being directed by Mary Lindsey, who was in the rehearsed reading of ...Michael, is part of this year's Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival, and is one of the Belfast Telegraph's picks of the festival. It's incredible I get to be part of the festival, as it has been a huge success over the years, and this year proves to be no different, with talent such as Rachel Austin, The Rubberbandits, and Dylan Moran just a tiny fraction of the entertainment on offer. The cast for the quick fire comedy is appropriately enough comprised largely of stand up comedians, led by Joe Lindsey and Morgan Hearst as the eponymous Couple, with support from Christian Jackson (who was in Incident at Vichy with me), Griffin Madill, Ruaidhrí Ward, Monnine Dargan and Emma McErlean. The play will be on in the Dark Horse Cafe from May 9 -12 and tickets can be purchased here.
While that is going on, I will also be in rehearsals with ...Michael, which is set to tour across the province in May and into June, but I will discuss that in a future post.

King's Fool Productions
King's Fool Productions has been taking up the bulk of my time recently, so these pastures have been left untended recently. Not to worry, when the launch has taken place later this month full service will be resumed.
King's Fool is my new production company, and I have been working away trying to book venues for Sitting Up for Michael, a full professional production which will be touring in Summer 2012.
Head over to the website, designed by Alex McCooke, or Like the Facebook Page for further updates.
Also, don't forget, ...Michael is getting his stage debut in the Ulster Hall on November 16, in a rehearsed reading by Accidental Theatre. The cast is set in place, with a variety of people I've worked with before (Ed Boyd, Chris McCurry, Charmaine McBride) as well as some new faces (Francis Mezza, Victoria Gleason, Chris Grant and Mary Lindsay) and the director is Helen Donnelly, another artist who I haven't had the pleasure of working with yet, but having spoke to her about the play, I'm confident she will do a brilliant job.

d strayed into the hall, still not half convinced, and was rather reluctantly persuaded to take a seat on the platform, although some of her best friends were there,--Garrison, Phillips, and James Freeman Clarke, her pastor.

I remember the same experience at a New York meeting in the case of Helen Hunt, who went to such a meeting on purpose to write a satirical letter about it for the New York Tribune, but said to me, as we came out together, Do you suppose I could ever write a word against anything which that woman wishes to have done? Such was the influence of that first meeting on Mrs. Howe. When they requested me to speak, she says, I could only say, I am with you. I have been with them ever since, and have never seen any reason to go back from the pledge then given. Sh

hese lectures having much formative power over the intellect of the nation. Conspicuous among the lecturers also were such men as Gough, Beecher, Chapin, Whipple, Holland, Curtis, and lesser men who are now collectively beginning to fade into oblivion. With these may be added the kindred force of Abolitionists, headed by Wendell Phillips and Frederick Douglass, whose remarkable powers drew to their audiences many who did not agree with them. Women like Lucretia Mott, Anna Dickinson, and Lucy Stone joined the force. These lectures were inseparably linked with literature as a kindred source of popular education; they were subject, however, to the limitation of being rather suggestive than instructive, because they always came in a detached way and so did not favor coherent thinking. The much larger influence now exerted by courses of lectures in the leading cities does more to strengthen the habit of consecutive thought than did the earlier system; and such courses, joined with the


@JungaBeast @poss_bot AAA what a good character!!
@JungaBeast I do want to get a commission from you when I've got the brass together in a few weeks!
Yes! Usually whenever I open for commissions like that, I say, for example "I'm open for 2 slots. DM me to claim." The only difference here is that there are unlimited slots until the 15th. I hope that answers your question!
@JungaBeast That does, thank you! I'm pretty bad at finding those sort of messages, haha. Actually thinking about it I can actually afford one so I'll fill out the form tomorrow when I'm not at work!
Sounds great! I look forward to it.
@JungaBeast @poss_bot THEY ARE SO CUTE!
@JungaBeast @poss_bot this is such a cute idea!!


A modern form of light bulb is the Led Flashlight , or light emitting diode. These use semiconductor technology and are very effective. These also come in many different forms and can be used in many different applications. For example there are Led Flashlight that produce infrared Led Flashlight or ultraviolet light as well as Led Flashlight in the human visual spectrum.
Your way of telling the whole thing in this paragraph is really good, everyone can effortlessly know it, Thanks a lot. Though I want to purchase natural argan oil for skin but I am little bit confused about the product but after came across your article my doubt has been cleared.

A stamp commemorating the 1950s TV show "Dragnet," which dramatized the Los Angeles Police Department, will be issued Tuesday during a ceremony at the LAPD Academy in Elysian park.
The stamp is one of 20 that commemorates early TV shows and the only stamp to pay tribute to law enforcement, according to the U.S. Postal Service. The stamps go on sale at noon.

One of the show's narrators, John Stephenson, is also to be at the ceremony, along with LAPD Chief William Bratton and Councilman Tom LaBonge.
At the event, people will be able to purchase an exclusive LAPD 140th anniversary postmark, complete with a commemorative envelope and a special "Badge 714" photo stamp, designed and offered through the LAPD Historical Society.
The "Dragnet" stamp is one of 20 collectible stamps honoring early TV shows that will be released by the Postal Service on Tuesday.
Other stamps will honor "The Lone Ranger," "Twilight Zone," "The Tonight Show," "The Ed Sullivan Show," "Lassie," "Alfred Hitchcock Presents," "Perry Mason" and "The Red Skelton Show," among other shows from the golden age of television.
A ceremony to announce the release of all the stamps will be held at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday at the Leonard H. Goldenson Theatre at the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.
Participants in that event are to include Carl Reiner; Groucho Marx's son Arthur Marx; Tracy Nelson, granddaughter of Ozzie and Harriet Nelson; and actress Jayne Meadows, widow of Steve Allen.
