Q: Docker Swarm Mode routing mesh vs linkerd Is Docker Swarm Mode routing mesh a built-in substitute for linkerd routing mesh? In other words, is there still any reason to look into linkerd if there is an out-of-the-box solution?

A: They do fundamentally different things. Docker's swarm mode routing mesh is at layer 3/4 --- if you have something running on port X in one container, you can have every container listen on port X and route that traffic to the container that's actually using it.
Linkerd's service mesh operates at layer 5/7. It does request-level failure and latency handling, load balancing across instances, and logical routing ("service a" => "datacenter 1, prod cluster, version 1.2 of service a")
You can use the two in conjunction.

/ How to Cut a Channel in Wood with a Router?
Routers are power tools that are used when working with wood to cut sections from the timber. You can use this tool to decorate the edges or surfaces of a piece of wood, or you can cut a chase into the side of a piece of wood to hide electrical cables or pipes.
Knowing how to correctly use your router to cut a channel in wood is important to achieving a high-quality result. Read on to find out more about routers and how to use them to cut a channel in wood.
The two router types that you can consider are a fixed model and a plunge model. There are also different power capabilities so you can select a model based on your needs. For light work, a 400 – 600W router will be sufficient.
For medium work, a 750 – 1200W router will work well. For heavy work, a 1200W and up router is ideal. Routers also come with varying speeds, which range between 800 and 30,000 revolutions per minute.
Routers have handles on either side of them so that you have proper control and grip on the machine while in use. To ensure that the router can travel easily over the timber you are routing, the base plate must be smooth. The flat side of the base plate should be run along a fence in order to keep the router straight.
Different routers have blades with different cutting depths. If you are using a plunge router, you should only take a little depth with each pass. If you take too much depth, you may burn out the motor over time. Rather, lock the blade's depth so you maintain equal depth with each pass.
The biggest concern when using a router is always safety. This is because a router cuts wood with an unguarded, spinning, high speed blade.
Ensure that the fence edge is straight and smooth. Any nicks or bumps along the fence edge will affect your channel. When using a fence to cut wood, you will often need to additionally support the wood as it is machined. This gives you a bigger base area for your router to move along, which prevents any tipping.
When you rout the middle of the wood, there's no wrong or right feed direction as the router surrounds the wood. However, it is advised that you always move in a left to right movement so that the fence is pulled down in place.
The cutter's bit diameter will determine the depth and width of the channel you cut. If you want a ½ inch channel, you need to use a ½ inch cutter diameter. If you want your channel to be wider than the bit diameter that you have, you will have to make a few passes.
Tear-out can sometimes occur as you first touch the router to the wood and when you lift the router from the wood. To avoid this, place a piece of scrap wood at each end of the work wood so you can start and end with the scrap wood rather than your project.
Always move the router in a left to right motion so the fence stays pulled down in place.
Never force your router through the wood you are working with.
Check that you release the plunge lock after you are done.
Ensure that your wood router is cleaned when you are finished.
Do not forget to ensure that your eyes and hands are protected before you begin working. Make sure that you have securely fastened the wood in place so that no accidents or injuries occur. Bear in mind that your router's blades are very sharp so make sure that nothing of value is in the blade's path.
After a bit of practice, you can start undertaking more intense projects. However, remember that, just because routing a channel is a simple project, it should still be taken seriously and the correct process should be followed.

Comment - Irish Politics
Drew Harris reforms of Garda could have an immediate impact
Although we are now effectively in the countdown to a general election and although the chances are that the legislation promised by the Government to implement the recommendations of the Commission on the Future of Policing may not be enacted in the lifetime of this Dáil, the very good news is that no legislation at all is needed to implement the proposals for reform of the Garda Síochána organisation recently announced by the Commissioner, Drew Harris.
It is vital that these reforms proceed now without meeting any further political or electoral roadblocks.
Minister Flanagan has written to all members of the Oireachtas seeking their backing for Commissioner Harris's reforms and has made it clear that they enjoy his "strong backing".
These far-reaching reforms will reduce the number of Garda divisions, increase the autonomy of those divisions, reduce centralised micro-management, increase the number of sergeants and inspectors, reduce the number of chief superintendents and commissioners, and increase civilianisation.
The Commissioner will be outlining his reforms which come into effect immediately to the Oireachtas Justice Committee and to the Local Policing Committees established under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 which provide a framework for consultation between local government elected representatives and local Garda management.
Long Overdue
The Harris plan is long overdue. The financial crisis 2009 to 2014 and the ban on public service recruitment which resulted from it put paid to the major process of civilianising administrative and back roles in the Garda organisation which was envisaged in 2007.
This, I regret to say, was not an entirely unwelcome reprieve from civilianisation for some within the force. Many members of the force saw advancement into administrative roles as part of their career promotion and development path.
Indoors posts were regarded as more desirable by many Gardaí when compared with front-line policing roles. There were, admittedly, many other who relished the front-line role as "real" policing.
Of course, it would be simplistic to suggest that real policing always takes place outdoors. Sophisticated policing is not all done on the street, on the beat, on surveillance, or on patrol.
But there is no case at all for filling many purely administrative office roles with attested Gardaí. I was struck, in my time as Minister, by the extent to which such roles were being discharged by Gardaí of all ranks.
Commissioner Conroy and I visited the PSNI support services in Belfast which included civilian crime analysts whose job it was to analyse local data in order to detect patterns which might not be apparent to local unit sergeants operating in shift duties. That was an eye-opener.
Civilians need not be confined to the clerical or administrative functions. There is no reason why civilians should not take leading roles in managing the day to day support of criminal investigations and preparing investigation files and prosecution files, including matters such as disclosures to accused persons.
Sophisticated Policing and Sophisticated Crime
Crime is becoming much more sophisticated than it was when the existing Garda divisions and districts were established largely as a legacy of RIC. Detection, investigation and prevention must match the increasing sophistication of crime itself.
Modern investigation of crimes like rape, on-line child porn, commercial fraud and white collar crime requires sophisticated techniques and high degrees of professionalism. These are all part of front-line policing. They need highly skilled and experienced officers.
So it is entirely wrong to imagine Commissioner Harris's reforms as just getting Gardaí out from behind their desks and onto neighbourhood foot patrols. Reducing the number of divisions should lead to improving the standard of specialist front-line policing units right across the country.
Rightly implemented, his reforms should make the jobs of Gardaí at all levels more satisfying as a career, and greatly increased civilianisation should mean that the increased numbers in the force really do make a difference for our communities.
Ending Churn
The Commissioner's plans for devolved autonomy to the new Garda divisions are very welcome. But it will be of little value if there is constant churn in the position of divisional commanders.
The Morris Tribunal identified a serious organisation defect in the force which allowed senior positions to be held for very short periods before onward promotion, lateral movement and retirement. Many divisional and district commanders were moved on from their positions after very short periods. The consequence was that officers did not have time to bed down and really acquaint themselves with their areas or personnel.
Somehow that promotional merry-go-round has to be halted and replaced by a policy that will leave incumbents with an expectation that they will be in a particular post for four or five years, giving them time to implement their plans.
Local Roots And The Garda Reserve
One aspect of modern society is that the local Garda and Sergeant no longer live locally. Indeed, they are no longer really stationed in many small local stations which are open for very limited hours and days. There is much less opportunity for casual contact between a local resident and members of the force.
Communities are generally distance-policed by Gardaí who may live in totally different areas and who commute to carry out shift duties patrolling in squad cars. Much of that is inevitable.
But the danger is that the Garda force is becoming unrooted in the community. Of course this can be countered in part by community police officers and by Community Alert and Neighbourhood Watch schemes.
I firmly believe that the development of the Garda reserve can play a vital role in linking the force with individual communities. I have spoken on a number of occasions in the Seanad about the shameful way in which the Garda reserve was neglected and some reservists were treated.
Fine Gael promised to double the Garda Reserve to 2,200 in its last manifesto. Commissioner Harris has indicated that he wants to rethink the Garda Reserve. That is good. But I hope it does not mean mothballing the Reserve.
The idea of a reserve has entirely different connotations in Northern Ireland, as Commissioner Harris well knows. He must be careful of being influenced by that.
Reserve constables work very well in Britain. It is no threat to the role or status or effectiveness of full-time officers there who It complements and supports their role..
I remember bringing Irish journalists to Chester in 2005 to see the reservists in action. One vivid memory is of a woman reserve constable whose other fulltime job was that of nurse in an intensive care unit. That showed commitment.
It can work very well here. But it needs senior commitment to make it a success – commitment that matches the commitment shown by those who volunteer to join.
We have reason to be optimistic for the Commissionership of Drew Harris. He needs support and encouragement and, from the looks of things. he will get it at the political level.

More retailers turn videos into direct sales channels
October 28, 2014 by Eric Blattberg
Buying products from inside a video is not a new concept — YouTube introduced a click-to-buy feature in January 2009 — but more online retailers are experimenting with interactive video sales as the interfaces improve and touchscreens become ubiquitous. Shoppable video is growing up. But without compelling statistics to back up its efficacy, it still has a ways to go.
In the past year, 39 department stores produced and released at least one shoppable video, including Sears, Kohl's and Mr. Porter, according to business intelligence service L2. Brands like Nike, Target and Walmart have worked with Fuisz Media, a tech vendor that enables companies to add interactive elements to their videos. With those elements in place, consumers on laptops, tablets and phones can hover over and click on (or tap) specific products to get more info, share them on social networks or make purchases.
Tech vendors contend that adding interactive elements to a video boosts consumer engagement, leading to more sales. One shoppable video startup, Cinematique, shared some recent campaign stats with Digiday. GAP, which used the Cinematique platform for its "Back to School 2014" campaign, saw 5.9 percent of video viewers click through to a product detail page, according to Cinematique. Another campaign from French clothing retailer Petit Bateau led 13 percent of viewers to its e-commerce site.
"The results are drastic," said Cinematique CEO Randy Ross. "There's no question that everyone has a device that's touchable, everyone has good Internet connection speeds and it's really easy to create quality video content these days, so all of these factors make the time right [for shoppable video]."
But there's little independent research on the effectiveness of shoppable videos, a chief reason retailers have been hesitant to make it a major component of their marketing strategies, said David Marcotte, svp of retail insights at Kantar Retail.
"They can't be throwing resources at stuff simply because it's technologically cool," Marcotte told Digiday. "If they're going to commit to it, they want to know it's going to sell."
Consumer demand for shoppable video, meanwhile, is effectively non-existent. Nobody will select a retailer based solely on the fact that they make shoppable videos, argued Marcotte.
Glossy Modern Commerce Forum
"Ninety-nine percent of the time, if it's there, the consumer will use it," he said. "But I sincerely don't believe that anybody is looking for it. Nobody is going shopping demanding this."
Retailers can also run into user experience issues when they repurpose existing video content as shoppable videos. High-end fashion retailer Net-A-Porter turned a video for Temperley London's summer line into "a touchable experience," but the rapid cuts leave little time to tap on and investigate the items within.
"It's definitely something we're working with these brands on: to rethink why they're editing the content the way that they are," said Cinematique cofounder Kyle Heller. "They have to be conscious that they're building an interactive piece, and it's just a matter of people getting used to that."
Special content creation (like this shoppable episodic film from Target) can get pricey, but the core tech isn't too expensive: A basic plan at Cinematique costs around $100 a month. But there's even cheaper (if less flexible) shoppable video functionality on YouTube, which has added a number of features that help translate video views into sales, including annotation links and a commerce-friendly channel layout for retailers. Unilever's TRESemme brand uses the layout on its YouTube channel, which boasts a products section along "how to" fashion tips.
Brands like Juicy Couture and Asos, meanwhile, have used YouTube annotations to enable video viewers to click through to product pages, pausing the video content while consumers check out the product.
In the broad scheme, shoppable video remains a novelty for most marketers, but both retail analysts Digiday spoke with would encourage brands to experiment with the format to see if it works well for them.
"It takes time, it takes energy, it costs money," said Paula Rosemblum, an analyst at Retail Systems Research. "But retailers are recognizing there's no homogeneous way shoppers want to shop … it's certainly appropriate and useful for retailers to use every tool available as long as it's appropriate for their consumers."

COSMOS AND MICROCOSMOS
Moved by a feeling of absolute freedom (as in the vast expanse of the cosmos) combined with the illusion of security (as in the cell structure of a microcosm), more and more people wish to live in the city. To support this modern urban attitude to life, Chiyoda presents "protected spaces" with the appropriate decors and colours as the fourth theme of "Blurring Borders."
The town dweller of today is in search of a home situation, which optimally meets his heterogeneous needs. "protected spaces" shows what this must look like and how it is achieved. The forms, colours and materials described here impart an ambience like that of a world beyond time and space. But as proved by the mood board created by Chiyoda, there are sufficient examples from architecture and interior design to show that this theme be- longs absolutely to this world
Perhaps the most important cause of the trend described here is an increasingly to be observed, inconsistent world of emotions of the consumers. People wish to be able to move freely inside their own four walls. Ideally, a large-size window should allow a view into the surrounding area. At the same time, how- ever, they want to be absolutely certain that they are not being observed. The demand is for translucent materials, which nevertheless ensure freedom from observation.
Our readiness to accept limitations in our way of life was perhaps never so low as today. But at the same time, our need for protection is growing. Increasingly we refuse to allow the public access to ourselves, but we want un- limited access to the public. This could be de- scribed as osmosis of freedom. The materials must be semi-permeable, or must at least seem to be.
From a distance, each form must appear to have been cut from a single stone (monolithic) and to be closed, even if, when seen from a closer distance, a filigree structure with many small openings appears. The inner rooms are rather austere. There is a great deal of white and grey, intended to make the rooms appear spacious. In the forms here preferred, the cross-border interplay between a stringent geometric and organic line pattern determines the style. Everything that is capable of incorporating the torn world of emotions described here is in demand.

The Day Sachin established a new ODI Benchmark
24 Feb 2019 042 Views Mihir Upadhyay
The modern cricket era which is dominated with the ever-increasing popularity of T20 Cricket has seen records being broken that weren't even thought of, in the past years. Obviously, most of the above records belong to the achievements of batsmen due to certain shot selections that never existed before in the game. But, back in the days, it was the aggressive and lethal pace that characterized the personality of Cricket.
On 24th February 2010, Sachin Tendulkar became the first batsman to score a double century in Men's One Day International Cricket. With T20 Cricket just being introduced, Sachin's innings was way ahead of its time. Although Sachin was known to cricket as the one who smashed records every now and then, this particular record came to cricket fans as a surprise. Also, this double ton was scored against the likes of Dale Steyn (who had ordinary bowling figures of 10-0-89-0), Jacques Kallis and Wayne Parnell.
The second ODI against South Africa at Gwalior saw Sachin Tendulkar hitting the ball all around the park and him scoring an unbeaten 200 by batting throughout the fifty overs. This innings of him included 25 fours and 3 sixes, with each boundary coming right from the sweet spot of Sachin's bat as he was middling everything that day. It took him only 147 balls to reach the iconic landmark of 200.
Sachin was on 199, with MS Dhoni at the other end, and Charl Langeveldt bowled a full-length delivery wide outside the off-stump to which Sachin sliced to the fielder at point and an energized Ravi Shastri on air quoted –
First man on the planet to reach 200, and it's the Superman from India – Sachin Tendulkar! This moment is still very fresh in the minds of cricket fans as it changed the dynamics of One Day Internationals.
Sachin who was filled with emotions after India winning the match said in the post-match presentation –
"I don't know how to react to this. I would like to dedicate this to the people of India who have always stood behind me for these 20 years amid the ups and downs. I was striking the ball and timing the ball well, it was coming on to the bat nicely. Yusuf came and changed the momentum and MS really struck the ball well; it was due to their big hitting that we were able to put up such a big score. It was only when I got closer to the score that I realized that I had an opportunity and I could take the singles to give MS the strike.
I'm enjoying my cricket. I've always played the way I felt was the right way to play, always done what I felt was good for the team. There have been times when I've made some bad decisions as a batsman, but as long as in my heart I know that whatever I'm doing for the team at that moment, I'm going to go ahead with that. It feels good that I lasted for 50 overs, a good test of my fitness. I'd like to bat another 50 overs at some stage and see that the fitness level doesn't drop."
After Sachin, seven batsmen have scored an ODI double century, among which four of them are from India. But this knock still remains close to our hearts.

A dance assembled by Henry Proctor based on the traditional dance for British Grenadiers.
Three Grenadiers sheet music pdf
Three Grenadiers midi
Three Grenadiers abc file
This dance is for six dancers, three facing three. It requires a large area to perform in.
Large Hadron Collider A
Chorus B
Mid Line A
Infinite Heys A
Corners Cross A
Weird Hey A
Chorus + Final Strike B
Large Hadron Collider (A)
Note: The Squire's side form up in a column away from the band. The non-squire's side line up close to the band. The result should look like one single line, but with a very large break in the middle.
1-4 Each line takes four steps forward, ending with dancers one and two facing each other.
5 Everyone takes a small step forward and to the right (should leave dancers 1 and 2 side by side, with a column behind each of them). If the step is too large, you won't be able to get far enough left on step 6...
6-12 Everyone takes a large step forward and to the left and alternates right and left. This allows the two columns to zig-zag through each other several times while moving forward. Maintain zig-zag even after you have reached the end of the other column.
13-16 Turn in and move in a column towards the other column to form a set of three facing three.
Chorus (B)
1-2 First corners, 1&6, lunge towards each other to form a diagonal set. (3,1,2 facing 5,6,4)
3&5, 1&6, 2&4 clash forehand overhead, then backhand low down.
3-4 Second corners, 5&2, lunge in diagonally towards each other while 1&6 back out to face 3&4. (1, 2, 4 facing 3, 5, 6)
1 & 3, 2 & 5 and 4 & 6 clash: once forehand overhead, then backhand low down.
5-6 Second corners, 5&2, back out to place. (1,3,5 facing 2,4,6): Everyone clash forehand overhead with partner across the set. Half turn anticlockwise (following through on stick strike) while backing into partner's place to form line on opposite side of set.
7-8 Everyone faces across the set and clashes: forehand overhead, backhand low down.
9-16 Repeat 1-8.
Mid Line (A)
1 On the first beat, everybody moves forward into a single line along the centre of the set. (meet right shoulders)
2-4 End pairs do a 360 degree turn clockwise as a couple, while keeping their right shoulders close. Middles move forward and circle anticlockwise to the end of the centre line, then on on beat 4 create a new line of dancers.
5-8 Original middles continue to circle round. ends switch ends, ending up in opposite corners to original positions.
Infinite Heys (A)
Basically a pair of Top Heys with two dancers swapping between the heys.
1-8 Each middle does a top hey with the pair on their right. The first pass is left shoulder with the dancer on the other side of the set.
9-16 Middles come out of their hey and pass each other in the centre of the set. They join in with the hey at the other end of the set, aiming for the corner diagonally opposite of the one where they left the other hey. NB It can be quite tricky to insert into the other hey. The dancers in the other hey may have to swap the shoulder they're expecting to pass on, in order to fit you in smoothly.
Corners Cross (A)
1-4 First corners, 1&6, cross right shoulders, while 3&5 and 2&4 do a quick back-to-back with each other in 4 steps. The back to backs look best when the dancers try to move parallel to the diagonal line taken by the first corners.
4-8 Second corners, 2&5, cross right shoulders while 1 & 3 and 4 & 6 do a quick back-to-back with each other in 4 steps. The back to backs look best when the dancers try to move parallel to the diagonal line taken by the first corners.
Weird Hey (A)
1-4 First corners lead. Number 1 circles in a fast, wide anti-clockwise move around the set, followed by 2 and 4. Number 6 also circles a/c, followed by 5 and 3.
They go ¾ of the way around the set, ending up half way down the opposite side, facing inwards. Their followers should line up behind them, so that a single line is formed perpendicular to the original line of the set.
This should make a queue of 1,2,4 facing a queue of 3,5,6.
5-6 1 and 6 do a half turn, staffs touching, for two beats, so that they trade places.
7-8 1 and 5, plus 6 and 2, do half left hand turns for two beats, trading places.
9-10 Everyone does a 2 beat half turn touching staffs, trading places.
11-12 1 and 6 go off to their right, starting a grand circle back their original places in 6 beats. Everybody else does half left hand turns.
13-14 2 and 5 peel left, and return to starting positions by beat 16. Numbers 3 and 4 half staff turn.
15-16 3 and 4 turn right, dropping back into starting positions.
Chorus + Final Strike (B)
15-16 The final stick strike of this last chorus is a ground strike, which requires each dancer to turn out and hit the ground away from the set.
Unless otherwise specified, the following general rules apply:
Always start right foot first.
There are 4 beats to a bar. This works out as two steps.
The top of the set is towards the band. Likewise, the bottom of the set is away from the band.
When resting stick on shoulder, the tip of the stick should be level with the middle of your ear.
Turns on the spot will usually be right-hand turns (clockwise). Common exceptions are when dancers need to turn in or out of a set the shortest way.
When passing shoulders with another dancer, the first pass will be a right-shoulder pass. Many dances will have figures that alternate right and left shoulders.
Where a fast turn on the spot is needed, it will be on the first beat of the bar. E.g. If you need to turn and then move across the set, you can count it as 'turn, two, three, four'.
Swings with a partner will be right-hand (clockwise), with the stick held in the left hand, unless otherwise specified.
Figures are usually in multiples of four beats. If you mentally keep counting 'one, two, three, four', then you'll have a good idea of when to move and change.

THIS was an appeal from a decree of the circuit court, for the district of Massachusetts, which dismissed the complainants' bill in chancery, for want of jurisdiction.
Some of the complainants were alleged to be citizens of the state of Massachusetts. The defendants were also stated to be citizens of the same state, excepting Curtiss, who was averred to be a citizen of the state of Vermont, and upon whom the subpoena was served in that state.
The question of jurisdiction was submitted to the court without argument, by P. B. Key, for the appellants, and Harper, for the appellees.
MARSHALL, Ch. J. delivered the opinion of the court.
The court has considered this case, and is of opinion that the jurisdiction cannot be supported.
The court understands these expressions to mean that each distinct interest should be represented by persons, all of whom are entitled to sue, or may be sued, in the federal courts. That is, that where the interest is joint, each of the persons concerned in that interest must be competent to sue, or liable to be sued, in those courts.
But the court does not mean to give an opinion in the case where several parties represent several distinct interests, [7 U.S. 267, 268] and some of those parties are, and others are not, competent to sue, or liable to be sued, in the courts of the United States.

The best power move you can make for yourself this year is managing up. Here's how to do so in 5 easy steps.
In short, managing up is making your boss shine and getting what you need from them. Managing up is especially crucial if your boss is uninvolved or not tending to your work or career needs.
When done respectfully, managing up helps you build a relationship with someone in your industry and ensures that you get what you need out of your job while you're there. A lot of us Millennials don't see ourselves working at the same place for years -- we tend to bounce around and explore other opportunities. Instead, utilize the resources and relationships that are available where you are now, knowing that it's temporary.
Some may say, "But it's not my job to manage my boss. I don't get paid enough to do that."
Managing up is for your personal gain. At the end of the day, your manager has someone to report to that they want to please. Do your job well and find ways to add value to make your manager look good. Plant seeds by being a hard worker and team player now, so you can reap the benefits later.
The first step to managing up is to be a superstar employee -- get your work done, meet deadlines, flag issues ahead of time, and slay daily! This not only makes you look good, but it also makes your manager shine to their boss.
No matter what type of manager you have, they want to keep their job, so find simple ways to help them. See what admin tasks you can take off their plate, like printing the agendas for a meeting or copyediting documents. Pitch in so you make your manager's life a tad bit easier.
These psychological concepts are key elements to mastering the art of managing up. To have a better working relationship with your manager, learn their management style. Are they hands off and laid back? Or are they a lowkey micromanager who wants to know everything you're doing?
Also, understand their communication preferences and writing tone. Do they prefer to send emails or talk in person? When reviewing your work, do they prefer a digital version, a hard copy, or both? Study your manager's writing tone, especially during the first few months of working with them. Is it friendly or direct? Are happy faces acceptable or inappropriate?
Another helpful way to understand their management method is to take the DISC Assessment together to better understand each other's work styles. This personal assessment can help improve work productivity, teamwork, and communication by analyzing conflict resolution tactics, motivations, stress triggers, work preferences, and more.
The assessment analyzes where you fall on the spectrum of dominance, influence, steadiness, and conscientiousness. I took the assessment with my coworkers and found that my boss and I were more similar than I thought -- we ranked high on the conscientiousness scale and I learned that he also is motivated by opportunities to gain knowledge and appreciated details and independence. Knowing his DISC Assessment helped me understand how to approach him and work with him throughout the year.
One of the biggest issues that people have with their manager is poor communication. If you don't already have recurring meetings with your manager, be proactive and schedule them.
The frequency of the meetings depends on your needs and working relationship with your manager. If they are involved in your day-to-day work, you might want to meet weekly or biweekly. If they are hands off or travel often, put a monthly invite on their calendar to touch bases on everything. Even if they are busy -- they are obligated to give you time and attention when necessary.
Have a brief agenda or a few key points you'd like to touch on during your meetings, such as current work, career goals, raises and promotions, or recent events. Be prepared so you get the most of the meeting.
To build trust with your manager, it's important to have open communication. Be sure to flag issues early -- if you'll miss a deadline or be late to work, tell them as soon as possible so you aren't leaving them in a bind.
The key to winning people over is to have a genuine interest in their lives. Get to know your boss by allowing them to talk about themselves (people usually LOVE to talk about themselves). Work appropriate topics include hobbies, children, weekend plans, holiday plans, favorite books or podcasts, and lessons they've learned through navigating their career. If you're traveling to a city that your boss has visited, ask what their favorite restaurants or attractions were.
While some people may still be cold despite your efforts to be personable, this is usually a great way to build a good relationship with your boss.
In life, but especially at work, it's important to speak up! Have an open dialogue with your manager about your career goals. Don't expect your manager to know what you want to do. If you aren't feeling challenged, or if you're interested in other projects, it's up to you to bring it to your boss. Also pick their brain about their career experiences to see if it can shape your journey somehow.
Navigating your career is challenging, but understanding how to get the most from your managers is a skill that you'll always appreciate! In what ways do you build a relationship with your manager? Share in the comments below!

West Ham protests
Safety authority say decision on behind closed doors West Ham games rests elsewhere
The SGSA will be part of the investigations but say the final decision is not influenced by them

David Moyes reflects on West Ham's defeat and the crowd trouble

The Sports Grounds Safety Authority (SGSA) has told Football.London it is not up to them to recommend if club plays home games in front of a reduced capacity or behind closed doors for the remainder of the 2017/18 season at the London Stadium.
The SGSA are expected to be a part of the emergency stakeholder meeting arranged by West Ham and the London Stadium after crowd troubles flared during the 3-0 defeat to Burnley on Saturday and reports have claimed they would recommend partial closure of the Hammers home ground.
Fans invaded the pitch four times in the second half after the home side went 1-0 down to the Clarets, while hundreds of fans gathered near to the directors box to hurl abuse at the West Ham co-owners, with David Sullivan reportedly hit by a coin.
Young families fled the stadium and some children were offered sanctuary on the Burnley bench as the crowd anger towards the under-fire board intensified in a big way.
Five vital issues David Moyes must address at West Ham training camp in Miami
The SGSA normally do not recommend playing games behind closed doors but just in front of a reduced number of supporters, though the FA could consider a complete ban on supporters in the ground once their investigation is complete into the dismal scenes at the weekend.
A spokesperson for the SGSA said: "It's not for the SGSA to make recommendations on what should be done at the ground following the game at the weekend. This is a matter for the Local Authority on the advice provided by the Safety Advisory Group (SAG).

"The SAG includes everyone that has a role to play in keeping people safe at the ground and includes the ground, the club, the police and the emergency services
"The role of the SGSA is to oversee the Local Authority are carrying out their legal responsibilities.
"We will continue to monitor the situation.

West Ham captain Mark Noble was involved in wrestling a pitch invader to the ground near the centre circle on Saturday after hapless security once again from stadium operators LS185 failed to stop the root of the problem before it escalated.
Football.London understands there have yet to be any arrests after what happened at the weekend but the Met Police are investigating the events and are expected to make arrests in the near future.
The Hammers are apparently willing to invest vast sums of money in bringing their own stewards in to the stadium and pay for increased police presence at the ground. Saturday's game was designated as low-risk, meaning police officers were only deployed outside but in case of emergency, can be called inside the stadium.

Stadium operators LS185 are coming under heavy shelling from all corners after their embarrassing response to the pitch invasions and a video also circulated on social media of a steward asleep at his post, which LS185 are now aware of.

The Gators Fight Hard Against The Catamounts
I. Oo
Green Level huddles around!
S. Geist; P. Hanson, Sports Section Editor; Staff Writer
On Monday, October 28, the Varsity Men's Soccer team played a very strong team, Panther Creek. This was the 1st time Panther Creek has come to Gator Stadium to play the Gators. It was an entertaining game, but the Gators fell to Panther Creek 3-1.
Panther Creek scored first in the first half, giving them the slight advantage of 1-0. It was 1-0 at halftime and Panther Creek scored once again to make it 2-0 in the middle of the 2nd half. With about five minutes left in the second half, Green Level stormed down the field to score. The goal was scored by Max Silverstein on an assist by Jesse Alvarado to cut the deficit to half. Unfortunately the Catamounts scored to extend their lead to 3-1 with about two minutes left in the game and the Gators couldn't make a comeback and find an equalizer.
We caught up with Alexander Davidow to ask him about the game. Davidow said that the team had "played a new formation which impacted the game and the score," adding that "Panther Creek has a very strong defense and individual talents that were very good."
The Gators finished their inaugural season on Wednesday, October 30 against Hillside at Gator Stadium.

I travel a lot and have created a lifestyle that allows me to do so . When you travel you meet loads of new people, and many ask "What do you do?" When I tell them I am a professional photographer, they usually respond with "Oooh!
You're so lucky to be doing that job." To which I reply: "This has NOTHING to do with luck, and everything to do with hard work and determination." I worked incredibly hard to get into that position, it annoys me when people confuse luck with hard work.
Nothing just comes out of nowhere. Especially not your dreams. If you want to see your dreams become real, you have to become aware of the journey you will need to make, and you will also have to understand what that journey looks like.
We only see the successes of others, we very rarely see the journey they took to get there, a journey they took long before anyone had even heard of them. You can say some are born more talented than others. While that is true on one hand, this didn't lead to their success. They might have had a head start, however, they didn't become who they are today by sitting on a chair doing nothing all day. They spent hours and hours and hours practicing, day in day out, mastering their craft, improving their skills.
It's nothing to do with being born talented, that is an excuse people often use – but it is ALL about PRACTICE. Anyone can become talented at a particular craft, if you spend enough hours practicing AND, if you love doing it. You cannot master something if you do not love doing it. You simply cannot. It is fundament to know your passion and to build the required skills to master your craft around that passion.
On the journey towards your dreams, you have to understand that you will face struggles and failures. But you also need to know that that is NORMAL, and that EVERYONE who succeeded also had to face up to a whole range of struggles and failures in their own way. It's nothing unusual. When you come face to face with struggles and failures, understand that they are all part of the journey. It's easy to get discouraged by them. But don't.
Struggles and failures are a blessing when you look at them differently. I LOVE to face struggles, and I LOVE to fail. I absolutely love it! Why? Because it allows me to get better. Each time there is an obstacle in my way to reaching a goal, I learn to deal with it. While dealing with it, I gain experience and knowledge. That's the same when I fail at something. Each time I fail, I learn and I grow. I become better, more skilled and wiser at what I am doing. And this contributes to you achieving your dreams.
If you want to increase your successes, double your failures. The path towards our dreams is a hard one, because it is so personal. Many people would rather leave their dreams in their head instead of trying to achieve them.
It's safer that way. Our dreams won't get broken if we leave them untouched. But then again, they will never come true either. I would much rather dare to take a chance, than never know and die with that dream still untouched. And so should you.
Look beyond the accomplishments of people who "have made it" and take a look at the path they took to get to that point in their lives. No one, NO ONE, became an overnight success. NO ONE! It just appears that way sometimes. And in the end, it is all about the journey my friends.


The girls went to "Theatre School" this morning, while Danny went to work with D. The girls are rehearsing for "Annie". "It's a hard knock life for them!" Danny helped D. fix a boat.
Then we had a little roadtrip to pick up D's new bass.
On the way home we popped in to see Great Granny and Great Grampy. Granny and Grampy were also there, along with Sally Dog.
Isabelle enjoyed cuddles and smiles with everyone.
Caitlyn enjoyed the treats she got from G. Granny…fizzy pop!
Danny enjoyed making a fishing road with some rope, a stick and a hook. Cans made ideal "fish" to catch.
Rebecca was busy making a picture using. G. Granny's ribbons and Christmas bows etc.
One of G. Granny's "Odds and Ends" cupboard and draw kept them amused all afternoon. The things they found in there…from objects from WW2 to family photos featuring D. as a baby and young child…Aw!
I've been making sure the kid's costumes are ready for Saint David's Day on Thursday. The girls "Welsh Costumes" are nearly sorted. I just need to iron their shawls and resew ribbon on one of their hats. Danny has a new Welsh shirt courtesy of Nanny…thank you!


Finally - all the waiting is over and my daughter and I are in India. At our first orientation meeting yesterday we talked about many things (why we had chosen ASB, why ASB had chosen us - more about this in another post). We were also given some advice from teachers at the school - the most important piece of advice seems to be this: embrace India.

Diversity in Summer
Christina Wan
Christina's project focuses on opportunities for students in the summer session to engage with diversity. She oversees the iGniTe Summer Launch Program in Summer Session Initiatives. During summer 2019, Christina organized the opportunity for first year students to participate in two different trips as part of iGniTe's new Global Communities track - one to the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, and the other to the Atlanta History Center. This fall, as part of the project, she will be developing plans for the future of these types of initiatives for upcoming summers.
Family Storytime at the Georgia Tech Library
Diana Roldan Rueda and Nadia Szeinbaum
Working to develop a more inclusive campus for families of students and postdocs at Georgia Tech, a student club "Student and Faculty families at Georgia Tech" was established after surverying and soliciting feedback and advice from the community. Family Storytime was created as one of the first initiatives. As a pilot during Fall 2019 semester, "Family Storytime at the Library" is being held at Crosland Tower once a week on Thursdays at 10 a.m. Family Storytime at the Library will host children of students, faculty and staff for a 30-minute reading session. The goal of the program is to be a family-friendly initiative to promote an inclusive campus. The program has been met with enthusiasm by guests and the broader GT community, and could serve as an example for continued engagement of families into the GT campus environment.
Family Storytime at the Library is an official Youth Program at Georgia Tech and parents or guardians are required to attend with children.
Isabel Altamirano
First Generation College & Graduate Students are the first in their families to continue their education beyond the mandated 12 years in the USA. They encountered questions and, maybe resistance, from family and friends while making the transition to the academic environment. In terms of diversity, First Generation students have had a different lived experience (from those who have many generations of attending colleges) and can provide insights to student who are now starting this process at Georgia Tech. A panel discussion was held in October of 2019 to shed light on the experiences of First Generation students.
I'm Migrant @ GT
Pedro Márquez-Zacarías
With the aim of sharing the unique challenges and perspectives of international (or first-generation) students and staff at Georgia Tech, 'I'm Migrant @Georgia Tech' is a conservatorium in which interviews will be posted continuously. This will allow having a site where people can know more about the diversity of cultures and worldviews that enrich our community. So far, eight interviews have been conducted and a website has been set up, but this project will continue beyond this academic year.
Makerspace Culture Workshop
Claudio Di Leo
Makerspaces are becoming a central component of the undergraduate education of universities worldwide. These spaces, although physical in nature, are usually led by a group of students and as such also develop a unique culture. Developing an inclusive, diverse, and welcoming culture is often difficult and the objective of this project is to facilitate this process. To do so we have developed a workshop specifically geared towards undergraduate-run makerspaces that expose students to best practices in developing a diverse and inclusive atmosphere. The workshop engages the students in developing their own expectations for what a great makerspace culture is and identifying tangible objectives that can be employed to ensure a diverse and inclusive culture is realized. The workshop was first run at the Aero Maker Space in the School of Aerospace Engineering.
Sexual Harrassment Awareness
Stephanie Merrick
The goal of Stephanie's project is to help increase the awareness of Sexual Harassment on Georgia Tech's campus, with the goal of seeking to understand, being aware to prevent, and knowing how to respond appropriately to matters within the topic.
Through a panel of panel of Georgia Tech faculty and staff, the project informed staff, faculty, and students about the resources and tools on Tech's campus to be effective around the topic of sexual awareness.
Moderator: Dr. Kim Cobb, ADVANCE Professor, College of Sciences; Director, Global Change Program; Professor, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences
Panelists: Marcia Bull Stadeker, Title IX Coordinator, Ethics Compliance & Legal; Dr. Janice E. Harewood, Licensed Psychologist, Assistant Director for Outreach and Wellness; Gail Greene, Director of Faculty Administration/HR Scheller College of Business; Deontez Wimbley, Health Initiatives; and Amanda Planchard, VOICE Advocate.

The Student Competition Center: Building Community & Creating an Inclusive Culture
Lorin Achey and David Smith
The Student Competition Center (SCC) offers real, hands-on, relevant experiences in designing, building, and operating complex systems through participation in national and international competitions. The purpose of this project is to investigate levels of participation at the SCC among the diverse demographic groups at Georgia Tech and to pro-actively reach out to those groups that are under-represented. The project has included demographic surveys and a student experience survey, as well as presentations to other campus organizations and the formation of an Engage Initiative to promote inclusion throughout the SCC.
This I Believe--The Atlanta Worldview Project
Conor Flannelly
Religion is often considered an "off-limits" topic in polite conversation, but if we never sit down to have these serious discussions about ourselves, we'll never really learn to be comfortable around people whose beliefs are fundamentally different from our own. True tolerance requires us to suspend our individual biases and seek first to understand what others believe and where those beliefs come from. The This I Believe podcast series highlights the beautiful breadth of religious beliefs within the Atlanta community. I hope that through providing a safe space to exchange ideas, my podcast will promote awareness of our common ground as humans and appreciation for our diverse spiritual experiences.
Translational Research in College Mental Health Systems for Vulnerable Populations
Collin Spencer
In 2017, a $1,000,000 dollar fund for mental health initiatives was created at Georgia Tech. The Mental Health Joint Allocations Committee (MHJAC) oversees this fund and has encountered difficulty in assessing how best to invest resources. A crucial aspect of population mental health is recognition of vulnerable populations, which are subpopulations adversely affected by health conditions due to socioeconomic disadvantage. Identification of vulnerable populations at Georgia Tech was achieved through statistical analysis of psychometrics of CCAPS-34 subscales. LGBT+ and financially insecure students experienced an elevation of >18% on scores of anxiety and depression. This quantitative research was supplemented by vulnerable population policies published by the Intercollegiate Mental Health Conference, the first national student conference on college mental health. Evidence of psychiatric health disparities and benchmarking of Georgia Tech's resources against peer institutions provided the rationale to create $300,000 in MHJAC grants for vulnerable populations.

uBEAM
Simone Douglas
BEAM is a newly chartered Georgia Tech student organization; it originally started as a graduate student organization to help create a community and network of support for underrepresented minorities (URM), but has now expanded to include undergraduates as well- "uBEAM". The organization aims to create a support system that fosters an affirming community for underrepresented minority (URM) Biomedical Engineering (BME) students to help them thrive and successfully matriculate through the BME graduate program. uBEAM intentionally focuses on improving URM retention, recruitment, and developing a network that supports and values racial and ethnic diversity in the department. The positive impact uBEAM has on the BME community is evident, as it helps provides URM students a safe space and sense of belonging at Georgia Tech.

Sometimes I wonder when I would get out of this perpetual state of busy. I am working on it, and I am fully aware how ironic it is that I've been working so hard so that I won't have to be working so hard, you know what I'm saying?
But that's just the way it is around here these days and I've been learning so much about embracing each season for what it is. And right now for me, is a long season of hustle.
Five months ago I accidentally landed this remote job and I haven't talked about it until now because I'm still processing how I feel about this whole thing. Once again the blog projects were pushed down the list (but never neglected!) as this new job takes over the top of the daily to-dos.
That being said, there are many things I wish I could change about my work life at the moment but one thing I'll always be grateful for is how I can do all of this at home. That homeschool carries on per usual. That we don't have to deal with traffic daily nor long hours away from the little humans.
But most of all, that God is even more real and gracious and faithful in this particularly challenging season.
Two weeks ago Dawn and Rain turned 6 years old and once again we marvel at how slow the days seem and yet how fast the years are flying by. We decorated the house with balloons and buntings and unicorns the morning of their birthday and had a little surprise party with a few of their cousins the weekend after.
Rain kept saying that it was the "best birthday party ever", and Dawn cried the day we took the party decors down. (And that kind of sums up their opposite personalities!) We told Dawn we needed to clear out space so we could put the Christmas decors up next, and that did the trick. So now we have Christmas decors at home as early as the first week of November!
The internet is bursting with so much content about how blogging should be done, but even as I myself apply and teach the best practices, I also strongly believe that there's room in the web (and even a need!!) for bloggers like us who just want to tell stories, knowing the stories we tell will make an impact, maybe to the world, maybe to one person, it doesn't matter.
Meanwhile, this dreamer right here is still chasin', except slowly, carefully, thoughtfully. Thank you for sticking around to hear all about it.


During my prayer time today God showed me a vision of how He sees Him training us.
I saw an eagle flying high to the sky, on his back a baby eagle. The eagle showed his child the beauty of the world and the baby eagle enjoyed this flight so much and felt loved.
Then suddenly the eagle let the baby fall. Baby was startled and confused, started to call out to his papa but there was only sky he could see. He got scared and started to try flying on his own but his wings were too weak. And he felt abadoned by his papa. He thought "this is the end" when shortly before he reached the ground. Then suddenly the eagle appeared out of nowhere and caught him. Again, the eagle took the baby on his back and flew higher to the sky. Baby recovered from shock and got happy to realize that his papa never really left him. And again the eagle showed him the beauty of his land. Then again he let him fall. Baby eagle thought "why again???". This repeated several times until I saw the eagle flying side by side with the grown up child. And they happily ranged together above the kingdom.
It's like that isn't it? We come before the Lord and worship and praise Him, we enjoy the presence of the Lord, feel loved and born again/refreshed. Then hardship comes and we don't know what is going on, we can't see God and so we start to doubt his love. And when we are about to give up suddenly He appears before us with much more love and hope than before and restores us by showing His glory. And in this repeating process we learn more and more about our Father, how faithful He is, how He never took His eyes from us not even for one second, how much He loves us, how much He blesses us with so many things, how awesome our Father actually is in his creativity, wisdom, power and love! And we fall more and more in love with Him. We are being drawn nearer and nearer to His heart. And into the eternity He walks with us, into the kingdom He created in His awesomeness.
Isn't this amazing? God wants to bring us to that point! To the point where we will be able to rest in the storm and fly higher when storms come!
Let us learn to enjoy the training God puts us into!
May God bless you with His wisdom, patience and love.
