As of 2015-03-09 Mozilla Firefox is known as being the fastest web browser out there. Firefox is not only fast but it saves also more memory than Chrome although less than Opera. To make things better it is also an open-source project which means you can stick your fingers into its guts and try making it better (if you can!). Here you may find an exhaustive comparison list of web browsers.
Anyway, Firefox implements the Profile-Guided Optimization (PGO) technique that the GCC 4+ compiler supports.
A PGO build consists of two passes: a first pass to build instrumented binaries, then a second pass to re-build optimized binaries using profile information gleaned from running the instrumented binaries. The Mozilla build system will run both passes for you, as well as a profile generation script in between.
In other words, if you compile the Firefox with PGO support it will generate a better binary version than it normally does. You cannot expect exponential performance boost but anyway, if you just want to squeeze the last byte of your Firefox this would be the way (a quick insight here).
you should expect a double compilation time which on my Intel Core2 Duo E8400 @ 3.00GHz CPU means a hour or so.
Recently I've observed that I cannot compile the Firefox with PGO support anymore. I usually encounter a compilation error that is related to the pgo-profile.
So how to fix Firefox PGO on Linux? Well, all you have to do is to add the pgo-profile-run rule in the Makefile.in.
If you are on Gentoo and you want to use the Portage emerge utility then you have to create a patch file for the /usr/portage/www-client/firefox/firefox-x.y.z.ebuild file (in my case it was firefox-31.5.0.ebuild) and also to mangle the firefox-x.y.z.ebuild file such that it will call the pgo-profile-run compile run instead of creating the profile server itself.
So just open the firefox-x.y.z.ebuild file and look for that line that says "if use pgo; then"
Now you are ready to emerge/compile your firefox with pgo support.
On Gentoo make sure you enable the pgo and test USE flags. If you compile manually using the make tool then read this first.
Using a open source OS (like GNU Linux) and open source projects (like Mozilla Firefox) can be a huge advantage over the commercial/closed project because you have the freedom to change the world, to make it better (your world at least).

Professional Golf Lessons | Encinitas Ranch Golf Course, Encinitas, CA
Junior Golf Prep School
Girls Golf Prep School
Summer Junior Golf Camp
Seasonal Junior Golf Camps
Southland Golf Magazine
by Heidi | March 6, 2017 January 8, 2018
Heidi Richardson has received praise and awards for her tireless work with students. But she's not resting on her laurels. Not even close.
BY MIKE JAMES
originally published in Southland Golf Magazine, February 2017
Heidi Richardson looked up from her home in Encinitas almost 20 years ago and saw machines plowing up the flower fields that blanketed the hills overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
"Oh, no, they're building new houses up there," she thought.
A PGA professional teaching at Torrey Pines Golf Course at the time, Richardson was the mother of a young son with another child on the way. She began investigating and soon learned that the ground was being cleared for a golf course, so she made a call to the developing course's director of instruction, John Mason, whom she had known from her first job as an assistant and tournament director.
Since being hired, Heidi Richardson Golf and Encinitas Ranch Golf Course have blossomed together like the ranunculus flowers that brighten the hills and bluffs in North San Diego County each spring.
"I just love golf," said Richardson, who played at UCLA before graduating in 1988. "I love being up here, I love seeing people react when they hit a good shot, I love getting women up here and sharing the game with them. … I'm not just fortunate, I'm blessed."
Richardson, 51, has become a leader in junior golf and women's golf in San Diego. She received the Junior Golf Leadership Award from the San Diego PGA and the Southern California PGA last year and every year tries to develop plans to encourage more people, especially juniors and women, to take up the game. Along with Jaqui McSorley, she has run the LPGA/USGA Girls Golf Program at Encinitas Ranch each spring since 2000, directs a summer camp for junior golfers and in the fall runs a "prep school" program of weekly clinics after school and gives private lessons and clinics, all designed to introduce kids to golf and keep them interested in playing.
"She's great," Mason said. "Heidi has a lot of students, and when you see how much they like her, how much they respect her, it really stands out."
A gymnast as a kid who was going to be the next Nadia Comenici, a lifelong runner and a yoga enthusiast, Richardson is always looking for new ways to keep things exciting for her students, particularly the youngsters.
"We always try to make things fun," she says, "but I want to make sure they know that we're not just goofing around. … The kids are getting PGA instruction."
One mission is to expand on the Heidi Richardson Golf brand, to broaden her team so she has LPGA or PGA apprentices to help with instruction and the preparation that she mainly does herself now.
One young golfer she's had a relationship with for 15 years is MacKinzie (Kline) Peregoy, now 24. At 14, she was one of the top junior girls in the world, despite a congenital heart defect that forced her to use oxygen on the course. She's now in the LPGA apprentice program and being mentored by Richardson.
"She is great at how she talks to her clients," Peregoy said. "She's never negative. She will tell them something is wrong but then emphasize all the things they're doing right. It's awesome watching her do it, and it's just what I want to do."
Richardson's connection with junior golf in San Diego helped shaped her career. She took up the game at 5, played at La Jolla Country Club, where her parents were members, and played on the boys' golf team at La Jolla High. She played at a high level in major junior tournaments including the state girls' amateur.
"I played junior golf, and I wanted to give back to junior golf," she said. "And I wanted to help more women play. … They're still a minority on the course."
Richardson took a couple years off to travel after graduating from UCLA and got her first job with Tom Addis at Singing Hills, now Sycuan Resort, in El Cajon. She learned the administrative side of the business under Addis, who became president of the PGA of America while she was there, and became a PGA Class A professional in 1995. She became a full-time instructor at Torrey Pines in 1995, preferring to stay closer to home with the birth of her son.
She has been at Encinitas Ranch since making that switch three years later, spending most of her time with juniors but also working to promote women's golf. She runs a Women's Golf Fest with McSorley and does private lessons and clinics when she can. Her Saturdays are reserved for adult lessons.
"Women frequently feel a lot of stress on the first tee, but I give them the tools to deal with that and go out and enjoy the game," Richarson said. "I have ways to help them quickly understand that they can play the game and have so much fun, and then the light bulb goes off and they love it."
Her PGA Junior League team, regular golf school, golf fitness program, girls golf program, working with high school and college girls and a Golf on the Go presentation offered at corporate events keeps her busy. But there are plans for more. In addition to a bigger Heidi Richardson Golf program, she envisions starting a golf yoga studio at Encinitas Ranch. A glance at her notebook during a recent visit showed a page of 25 or so items on her to-do list. Three had been checked off — including updating her real estate license. Yep, she does that in the evenings.
"Her life is filled with goals," Peregoy said. "She's always been like that. She loves her career and life because there's never an end goal. I really admire that."
And she goes to great length to get into the shoes of those she's teaching. In the past few years, she's been practicing and playing left-handed.
"Through Heidi's golf program and time spent with her on the Lesson Tee at Encinitas Ranch, my daughter not only became a great golfer but developed many life-long skills and individual qualities." - Julie Caines
"As a woman, I was completely intimidated by the idea of playing golf. After spending time with Heidi I felt comfortable and ready to enjoy the game with my friends, family, and colleagues." - Debbie Lynn
"Heidi, I truly believe you were responsible for instilling Max with his love of golf......Sophie too but she was always excited about most things she tried, BUT Max on the other hand has always been more difficult in this area.....He told me that he thinks you helped him find his "passion!!!!!" - Sandy Baek

Q: app_offline alternative I usually place an app_offline.htm in my root directory when I am releasing a website to a production environment. However sometimes if there has been a few big changes to the site, I would like to click around first to make sure it's stable without allowing access to anyone other than me.
As far as I am aware this isn't possible, but I'm hoping someone has a neat solution...
The solution has to include if someone has a deeplink into the site, so using a default.htm/asp page in the root won't do the trick unfortunately.

A: I agree with the staging environment answer above, but otherwise here's one possible approach:  Temporarily block all IP addresses besides your own. This can be achieved through IIS Directory Security configuration, or programmatically in any number of ways
You can redirect all the non-authorized users to an Under Construction page of some sort.  Meanwhile, you can happily browse the site from your IP.  When the site is vetted, you remove that IP restriction and the site becomes available to the world at large.

A: It's a difficult thing to achieve. That's why you should have a staging environment where everything should be validated before shipping into production. Then during the deployment process (if it takes long, but it shouldn't) you could use an App_Offline file. This staging environment should be as close as possible to your production environment (in terms of software, patches and configurations installed, not in terms of hardware power of course).

A: Another quick suggestion that would allow you to control things from the web.config might include a custom module that redirected all requests to a static page except those defined by a filter (i.e. hostname, url sniffing) that could be configured via the web.config.

Every investor would like to increase their income without compromising their stability. Maybe that's why Equity Indexed Annuities (EIAs) have become so popular, because of their promise of providing a stable income stream. But there are a number of ways that you can easily outperform what an EIA can deliver. In this article, I'll show you how to meet your need for stability and income in your portfolio.
One of the main sales-points of EIAs is their promise of a stable income stream. Many nervous investors are comforted by the thought of a guaranteed minimum return on their investment of 3%, especially in today's low interest rate environment. They're willing to accept this small return, because they think they are able to participate in the growth of the stock market without all the risk.
But what these investors have done is confuse objectives with risks. Because of their fear of losing money in the stock market, they settle for a paltry return. They're trying to meet 2 objectives: growth and stability, with the same investment. How much better it would be for them if they used separate investments for their different objectives.
Growth and stability investments each have their own set of risks and rewards. By combining the use of both, the risks balance each other and you get the rewards of both.
Unfortunately in an EIA, its growth potential is severely limited by caps and high fees. Next week I'll discuss how to boost your returns in your growth investments. Right now, let's take a look at how easy it is for you to outperform the guaranteed rates of EIAs.
There are many better alternatives for the stable portion of your money. These include government guaranteed Certificates of Deposit (CDs), U.S. Treasury Inflation Indexed Securities (TIPS), government and corporate bonds, guaranteed investment contracts (GICs), and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs).
These alternatives can provide the stability you are looking for without forcing you to commit to them for 10 years. More importantly, if anything happens and you decide you want YOUR money back, you have much greater flexibility in these alternatives than you would in an EIA. On a CD for instance, the penalty for taking your money out early is typically a maximum of 6 months worth of interest. That's considerably less than the 3+ years worth of interest penalty on some EIAs.
The rates of return on these stable alternatives are also better then the 3% offered by an EIA. Three year CDs are being advertised in my local paper pay just over 3%. TIPs are paying close to that and can increase what they pay as inflation returns. Government and Corporate bonds historically have averaged 5-6%. Even though they pay less than that today, interest rates are expected to rise over the next few years. Why would you want to tie your money up long-term at 3% in an EIA when interest rates are at 40 year lows?
REITs can provide a stable income and are a good alternative. For instance, many of my clients have invested a portion of their money in a REIT that is yielding 8.3% and pays the interest monthly. Another is yielding 7%. There are closed end mutual funds that invest in REITs that regular pay between 5% and 8%.
Guaranteed Investment Contracts are like Certificates of Deposit but are offered by insurance companies. They are not FDIC insured but are backed by the ability of the insurance company to repay the money when due—just like all the money you would invest in an EIA. GICs from well-established insurance companies currently pay 3%.
You aren't required to only choose one of these stable alternatives, either. Depending on the size of the stable portion of your investment, it could be divided between several of the alternatives to increase your safety and flexibility.
The key to having a stable income stream from your investments is to retain flexibility and control, while also keeping a healthy diversification between categories, maturities and issuers. As you can see, it isn't that difficult to outperform an Equity Indexed Annuity. And you won't have to lock up your money in the process.

That's a really deep quote. Definitely words to live by.
Where's the muso's at ?
Since leaving sydney I haven't played many gigs or had many jam sessions. Below is my Martin acoustic which I don't play much but will never part with. Music has always been a big passion so hopefully I'll get a chance to play amongst friends again.
Having been on the receiving end of a "king hit" or more appropriately named a cowards punch, l wholeheartedly agree with the new penalties, l never saw it coming and the first l knew what had happened was when l woke in hospital, we have to change the culture through education and serious penalties..
Cool, me too, there's nowhere else like it.

`Our daily look at Texas headlines.
Several members of Congress toured a tent encampment in the border town of Tornillo over the weekend. Among them were U.S. Reps. Beto O'Rourke of El Paso and Joaquin Castro of San Antonio. The west Texas facility currently holds about 300 undocumented minors. As Marfa Public Radio's Sally Beauvais reports, O'Rourke and Castro say some of the children's parents have already been deported without them.
O'Rourke says 23 of the kids in the facility were separated from their parents at the border. The rest arrived alone as unaccompanied minors. According to Castro, there are now girls living in the tent encampment as well. As of Saturday there were seven of them, ages 13-17.
"They quite honestly seemed sadder. Because they just got here," Castro said.
Castro says the Health and Human Services officials running the tour were unable to confirm specific locations where most migrant girls are currently being held in the U.S.
The White House is hosting a summit, starting Monday, that brings together state and federal officials to develop a strategy for promoting science, technolgy, engineering and math education. Representatives from across the country, including Texas, are attending the event organized by the White House Office of Science and Technogoly policy.
The Texas Standard's Amber Chavez has more on the summit.
One of the goals is to figure out how to get more students to pursue STEM fields.
Ruth Ruggero Hughs is with the Texas Workforce Commission. At the summit, she wants to make clear that STEM programs need to be flexible because even within Texas employers' needs vary from region to region.
"Certainly our state is a great example that one-size does not fit all. So if the federal government will give us the flexibility to figure out the best way to allocate resources toward STEM education, that's going to be the best way to really make an impact in our state, and improve the lives of Texas families," she says.
The State-Federal STEM Education Summit will be held through June 26 in Washington, D.C.
Texans can now buy fireworks in anticipation of the Fourth of July.
But the sale and use of fireworks isn't permitted everywhere.
Certain local governments bar their use within city limits such as Houston, Austin, and Waco.
The National Fire Protection Association estimates that fireworks start over 18-thousand fires per year, nationally. On Independence Day, itself, fireworks typically account for two out of five reported fires.
If fireworks are allowed where you live, they will be available until midnight on July 4.

Giuseppe Verdi was an Italian Romantic composer, primarily of opera.
Verdi was one of the most influential composers of the 19th century, and his operas dominate the standard repertoire, with several works such as Il Trovatore, La Traviata, and Aida dominating many of the most popular opera lists. Certain themes from these and other works have taken root in popular culture and may be known by non-musical listeners as well.
Verdi was influenced by many different Italian composers who preceded him, including Rossini, Bellini, Meyerbeer and, most notably, Donizetti and Mercadante. Ironically, he composed mostly independently of Wagner's influence, with it present in only a few of his major compositions such as Aida.
Verdi was known for bringing out some of the traditionally underutilized roles in vocal performance, such as those in the bass range. His orchestration also increased the scale and sheer sound of the instrumental parts, and many of his most famous works feature "power" vocals that paired with such orchestration, creating almost a new level of volume and magnitude for concert audiences.
With the exception of Puccini, it can be argued that no other Italian composer of opera has matched Verdi in popularity or scope.

We do not agree with the way things function. We know something is wrong in the country. We have always known it. We just didn't have a way of saying it.
Means sharing: the sleepless nights, the tears and happiness, the dreams. It brings with it responsibility, a lot of work and effort in order to get here, in order to enter and to stay.
Well, the reality is one lives here, one suffers here, one feels here, one works here, one studies here. That's the reality of the Ayotzinapa Normal, as they say here it is the cradle of social consciousness.

Paw Preference Essay
Paw Preference in Dogs
Did you know that dogs have a paw preference similar to left or right handedness of humans? People do not think of dogs using one paw more than the other paw, in other words being left or right pawed. Many dogs do have a particular paw they prefer unlike some dogs that use both paws, and do not have a paw preference. Which paw does your dog prefer?
The dog's skeletal system is the framework of the dog's body (Wells 1). The bones of the skeletal system serve as levers to the body. Each bone assists in movement of the whole entire body. Together the bones help provide support and protection of the dog. All the bones contain several layers of tissue that contributes to supporting the structure of the body.

The nervous system is responsible for transmitting messages to different parts of the body. The brain and the spinal cord are the two main parts of the nervous system. The spinal nerves start from the spinal cord and branch out through the entire body. The system contains millions of neurons that help send information to different parts of the body. The neurons form together to form neurological circuits. The information then travels down these circuits to send messages to the body. There are three main parts of a neuron: the cell body, dendrites, and axons. The dendrite and the axon are also referred to the two extensions of the neuron. The dendrite sends electric charges to the cell, but the axon sends charges away from the cell. When an axon receives an electrical current, the axon releases neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that pass the signals to other neurons in the body. Many neurons combine to form the spinal and cranial nerves. There are two main types of neurons: the sensory and the motor neurons. The sensory neurons carry information from the body, to the spinal cord and then to the brain. These neurons carry information that relates to the five senses (touch, pain, taste, etc.). The motor neuron carries responses of the sensory information from the spinal cord and brain to the body. The tracts are bundles of motor neuron axons that send the motor information into the nerves that lead to
Nervous System Research Paper
	The nervous system can be divided into central and peripheral nervous systems. 	The brain is made up of three sections: the cerebrum, cerebellum and brain stem. 	The spinal cord is a long tube-like structure that is protected by a bony spinal column called the vertebrae. 	Neurons transfer information to each other and make connections, which in turn affect the way you learn, move and react. EXERCISE A.
Essay On Central Nervous System
•	Interneurons: found in the brain and spinal cord, process incoming impulses and pass them on to motor neurons. •	Motor Neurons: carry impulses away from the brain and spinal cord to voluntary muscle. Neurons communicate via an electrochemical signal called an action potential that sends information down an axon and away from the cell body. They are based on the movements of ions through channels in the membrane of an axon. A molecular message is sent to neighboring neurons when an action potential is reached.
The Nervous System: The Structure Of The Nervous System
It consist manly two parts which are spinal cord and the brain. The spinal cord is a bundle of nerves that leaves the brain and runs down the length of back. The spinal cord is a cylindrical shape bundle of nerve fibers that connect to the brain. Spinal cord is the main component which communicate and transmitting the message between the brain and body. As well spinal cord transmits external stimuli to the brain.
Essay On Nervous System
The nervous system is the body's decision and communication center. The central nervous system (CNS) is made of the brain and the spinal cord and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) are made of nerves. The brain is made of three main parts which are the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. The forebrain consists of the cerebrum, thalamus, and hypothalamus. The midbrain consists of the tectum and tegmentum.
Organs In The Human Body
An important structure of nervous tissue are the neuroglial cells. Neurons are a specialized type of cell that receive and transmit information as electrical or chemical signals. Neurons pass on the information by synapses which are structures that resemble junctions in non-neural cells (Campbell, 2004). A neuron consists of three elements. The soma is the central body
Essay On The Nervous System
It also assists people when they are learning a new motor skill, such as playing a sport or musical instrument. Recent research shows that apart from motor functions cerebellum also has some emotional role." ("Nervous System, innerbody.com") The next part of the Central Nervous System is the brain stem. The brain stem is responsible for basic vital actions such as breathing, blood pressure, and heartbeat. ("Brain Structures and their Functions, serendip.brynmawr.edu") The last part of the Central Nervous System is the spinal cord. The spinal cord is located and protected by the spine.
The nervous system consists of two divisions; the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system is the combination of the nerves within the skull and spine, while the peripheral nervous system is the nervous system that goes everywhere inside (autonomic nervous system) and outside (somatic nervous system) around the body except skull and spine. The somatic nervous system has two kinds of nerves; afferent nerves that carry sensory signals from the external parts of the body to center, and efferent nerves which carry motor signals from central nervous system to muscular system. The autonomic nervous system also has afferent and efferent nerves and afferent nerves carry sensory signals from internal organs
The Innate Immune System
The short term immune response is known as the Innate Immune System and the long term is known as the Adaptive Immune Response. Monocytes and macrophages, primarily involved in atherosclerosis, are part of the innate immune response. Macrophages have two main functions. They can act as phagocytes that engulf foreign particles or as antigen presenting cells. They receive signals in order to be activated.
Advantages Of Artificial Neural Networks
Neuron has a wide structure of input data (dendrites), kernel and branching output (the axon). Axons of the cells connect to other cells of dendrites via synapses. When activated, a neuron sends an electrochemical signal through the axon. Through synapses this signal reaches to other neurons that may be activated in turn. The neuron is activated when the total level of signals coming into its kernel of dendrites exceeds a certain level (activation threshold).
Importance Of Cell Signalling
How does it work? The basic concept in which cells communicate with each other is through a 'signal'. These signals are molecules; they can include hormones,

Tight End Wide Screen
Tim May, The Columbus Dispatch
Ohio State's Jake Stoneburner knew the tight end wide screen had the makings of being a big play. When offensive coordinator Jim Bollman finally called for it, during the Buckeyes' remarkably efficient first half at Nebraska a couple of weeks ago, Stoneburner was determined to make the most of it.
"I'd been champing at the bit for that to be called," the junior tight end said. "We ran it and scored on our first-team defense (in practice).
"I knew they were going to call it when first got down there. We wanted to do it on first down. (Center) Mike Brewster made a very nice block on the edge to set me free, and it was just all the way home from there."
It turned into a 32-yard, catch-and-run for a touchdown, and, at this point, is the highlight offensive play of the season. The main reason it gets that distinction is because of the overall design and execution.
The Buckeyes lined up in the I formation, with Stoneburner left and two wide receivers to the right. At the snap, quarterback Braxton Miller faked a handoff to tailback Jordan Hall as fullback Zach Boren led toward the line and left guard Andrew Norwell pulled to the right, the action initially looking like the Buckeyes' staple "Dave" play to the right. Most of the defense flowed that way in response.
But in the fog of it all, right tackle J.B. Shugarts and Brewster worked their way left and out into the flat. As left tackle Mike Adams engaged the defensive end and took him out of the action, Stoneburner drifted back off the line.
Miller sold the fake and possible waggle pass option (a rollout with a guard for protection) to the right before turning and throwing back to Stoneburner. With Brewster and Shugarts clearing the way, "All I had to do was run," Stoneburner said.


The State Herbarium of South Australia is the key centre for knowledge and information on South Australia's native and naturalised plants, algae, fungi and lichens. We are internationally recognised for our research and advisory role in plant systematics.
At the core of the State Herbarium's operations is our collection of dried herbarium specimens, currently numbering over one million and growing.
Our research staff and associates bring scientific methods, including cutting-edge technologies in molecular biology and microscopy to help research a wide range of botanical areas (eg genes, populations, species, higher taxa, communities and ecosystems).
The information that we gather is not just stored. Research results and statewide knowledge are shared in publications such as the Flora of South Australia, Census of South Australian Vascular Plants and the Marine Benthic Flora of Southern Australia.
We participate in major national projects such as the iconic Flora of Australia and world-leading Australia's Virtual Herbarium. We are also an essential resource for carrying out flora surveys, vegetation mapping programs, native vegetation conservation, weed identification, and community management and rehabilitation programs.
The State Herbarium's knowledge and information also contributes to the conservation of rare plants. We believe that action to save rare plant species faced with extinction needs to be based on good scientific knowledge. Our improved communication of distributional and taxonomic data is enhancing recovery plans and on-ground actions in the effort of conservation of these rare plants.
Our knowledge of the species of plants, algae and fungi - which is crucial in today's conservation biology, environmental management, the design of natural reserves and informed decision making for South Australia and any governmental agency - continues to increase, and research shows that new species continue to be discovered.
The State Herbarium Prospectus provides information on the history, capability, strategic intent and research partnership opportunities in the State Herbarium.

PsA celebs and superstars
PsAndMe has created a list to showcase some of the amazing people who live with PsA
On the lowest, darkest days of living with the symptoms of PsA, it can feel like many possibilities in life are shut out because of the condition.
On these days it can be tough to feel motivated, but sometimes we find that it's helpful to remember that there are people living with PsA who are doing truly incredible things. From Paralympians to playwrights and world-famous musicians, we've found some of the amazing people who didn't let their PsA stop them achieving their dreams.
Pam Relph
Pam Relph was just seven years old when she was diagnosed with PsA, and was devastated when the condition forced her to quit her job in the UK military aged just 20. But this proved to be the start of an exciting new adventure for Pam, who turned to rowing and within a year was a world rowing champion. Pam then stormed to gold medal success in the 2012 Paralympics as part of a coxed fours.
Speaking about her journey, Pam reflected "It took me a good year to come to terms with trying to compete as a disabled person. I never would have considered myself to have a disability. I didn't want to allow my condition to beat me. It wasn't long before I realised that going to the Paralympics isn't second best. I have this condition and I am not going to let it beat me. Going to the Paralympics was proving to myself that I was the super tough person I thought I was. The competition was fierce and you find yourself training alongside the Olympic team."
Byron Janis
Considered one of the greatest ever pianists, Janis was a musical prodigy at the age of just 4 and defied the arthritic symptoms of PsA to dedicate his life to his work. Having previously adapted his playing style in an attempt to hide his condition, in 1985 he began to speak publicly about living with PsA. He noted "arthritis has taught me to look inside myself for new sources of strength and creativity. It has given my life a new intensity. I have arthritis, but it does not have me."
Diagnosed in 2010, Pro golfer Phil Mickelson has become one of the PsA community's most vocal advocates, and works closely with the Arthritis Foundation and US National Psoriasis Foundation to raise awareness of the disease and the importance of early treatment.
Phil first started noticing twinges in his ankle and wrists, but dismissed these as the result of his rigorous training programme. However, the pain quickly spread throughout his body, leading to his seeking of medical guidance and marking the beginning of his journey to diagnosis.
When asked what guidance he would offer to other people living with PsA, Mickelson's advice was simple: "It's very important to stay active," he says. "Stay active as often as you can."
Although the name Dennis Potter might not strike an immediate chord, he's one of the UK's most influential playwrights.

Earth has a little asteroid pal that has danced with it around the solar system for 100 years
Hi, little quasi-moon. Nice to meet you.

An asteroid smaller than the Statue of Liberty is constantly accompanying Earth as the two bodies make their ways through the solar system.
The diminutive space rock will play "leap frog" with Earth for hundreds of years, sometimes speeding ahead of our planet and occasionally falling behind, NASA said.
SEE ALSO: A newly-discovered type of meteorite may be evidence of ancient cosmic crash
"The asteroid's loops around Earth drift a little ahead or behind from year to year, but when they drift too far forward or backward, Earth's gravity is just strong enough to reverse the drift and hold onto the asteroid so that it never wanders farther away than about 100 times the distance of the moon," Paul Chodas, manager of NASA's Center for Near-Earth Object (NEO) Studies, said in a statement(Opens in a new window).
"The same effect also prevents the asteroid from approaching much closer than about 38 times the distance of the moon. In effect, this small asteroid is caught in a little dance with Earth."
The asteroid, named 2016 HO3, was discovered in April 2016 by an asteroid-hunting telescope in Hawaii, and scientists think it's anywhere from 120 feet to 300 feet in length.
The asteroid's orbit has been mapped far into the future, and it poses no threat to Earth.
2016 HO3 is a little too far from Earth for scientists to consider it a proper natural satellite (like the moon), according to NASA, instead opting to call it a "quasi-satellite."
"One other asteroid -- 2003 YN107 -- followed a similar orbital pattern for a while over 10 years ago, but it has since departed our vicinity," Chodas said.
2016 HO3 isn't going anywhere anytime soon, however.
NASA scientists have found that the asteroid has been Earth's cosmic buddy for about 100 years, and it will continue to accompany the planet in orbit around the sun for centuries more, never coming closer than about 9 million miles from our world.
The Earth occasionally traps little space rocks in its orbit that will circle the planet for some time. These "mini-moons(Opens in a new window)" typically orbit our planet for about a year or a less, and there is usually at least one captured asteroid circling Earth at any given time, NASA has said.

What pollinates baobab flowers? We actually don't know for sure and that's why we're asking for your help! Many people think it's bats, but the truth is scientists have never seen bats visiting baobab flowers in Southern Africa. We have a theory that both hawk moths and bats play a role in pollination. But we need to find out if this is true.
Scientists from the University of Venda and Texas Tech University (USA), hosted by the Vhembe Biosphere Reserve, will be trying to solve this mystery in November 2016. They will be using Citizen Science methods to collect data on flower visitation rates. This means that members of the public – yes, that's YOU – are being asked to help collect this critical data and the EcoProducts Foundation is part of this project.

Largest COVID vaccination site in Nevada opens after dress rehearsal

The largest COVID-19 vaccination site in the state will officially open Friday to members of the public — at least those who were able to make appointments on the Southern Nevada Health District's website before it crashed.
The vaccination site at Cashman Center in Las Vegas had what was described as a by-invitation-only soft launch Thursday aimed at working out operational bugs, officials said at an on-site briefing. The site, operated by the health district, Clark County, Las Vegas and the Nevada National Guard, is expected eventually to be able to immunize several thousand people per day.
While emphasizing that the current priority groups for vaccinations continue to be medical and public safety personnel and residents 70 and older, officials acknowledged that other lower-priority "critical infrastructure" employees were offered shots Thursday to ensure a controlled flow of recipients during the day's pilot project.
"There's a lot of people out here today that have been boots on the ground since Day One, and I'm not going to feel guilty about any of them getting the vaccine," said County Commissioner Marilyn Kirkpatrick, a member of the health district's board of directors.
Those in the long line for shots included middle-age or older individuals, many of whom said they were from government agencies including the Department of Interior, Regional Transportation Commission and Nevada Gaming Control Board.
A 58-year-old secretary for the Las Vegas Valley Water District, who did not give her full name because she was not authorized to speak to news media, said an hour earlier that she and others in her office were asked if they wanted to get the shot so no vaccine would go to waste.
Also in line were some residents 70 and older who came to the site at the urging of friends who had gotten their shots after simply showing up without an appointment.
'Not … sneaking in'
The operation was "painless and flawless," said 80-year-old Jacqueline West, who got the shot with her husband in the afternoon.
"I did not feel like we were sneaking in," West said, who was unaware that the site currently was not open to the public until told by a reporter. She said that she spent about an hour and 20 minutes in line but that things went smoothly. She did not witness anyone being turned away.
Officials stressed that moving forward, the site is intended to be by appointment-only, though Thursday there was no way to make an appointment because the Southern Nevada Health District's appointment portal was down.
"As soon as we can get the health district's registration program going, seniors will be able to go on there and register on that site," said Capt. Noah Wheaton with the Clark County Fire Department. The technology component was a challenge with launching testing sites, he said, just as it has been with the immunization website.
"Like everywhere else across the country, we are struggling with IT issues," Kirkpatrick said, adding that she expected the health district's appointment site to resume working by Monday.
Wheaton said that employees with other critical infrastructure agencies could be invited to get shots on Friday and over the weekend if more people were needed to test the system.
More than 1,000 people received the vaccine at the site Thursday, and another 1,000 have appointments for Friday with 2,000 over the weekend, county spokeswoman Stacey Welling said in an email.
Meanwhile, other immunization sites also are opening:
* Henderson is signing up those 70 and older for shots that will be administered at Sun City Anthem. Information can be found at cityofhenderson.com/covid19/vaccine.
* A University Medical Center vaccination center at the Encore resort will start operations on Monday. Appointments can be scheduled online at umcsn.com/COVIDvaccine or by calling 702-383-2619.
* North Las Vegas is signing up city residents 70 and older using an online preregistration form at VaxNLV.com. Those needing help with the form can call 702-342-8417.
* The Southern Nevada Health District's appointment scheduling can be found at covid.southernnevadahealthdistrict.org/vaccine/distribution.

Jeremy Bassan Joins Board of Trustees at Santa Barbara Botanic Garden
Santa Barbara Botanic Garden has named Jeremy Bassan to its Board of Trustees. He joins the 14-member Board comprised of Valerie Hoffman, chair; John Gabbert, vice chair; Kathy Scroggs, secretary; Mark Funk, Treasurer; and board members Sarah Berkus Gower, Sharon Bradford, Samantha Davis, George Leis, William Murdoch, Helene Schneider, Warren Schultheis, Jesse Smith, and Ann Steinmetz.
"My wife Manuela and I are committed to the local community and support everything that makes this a wonderful place to live," said Bassan. "The Santa Barbara Botanic Garden is a refuge for nature lovers and an organization devoted to the conservation of native plants."
Bassan was born and raised in Santa Barbara and grew up hiking in the local hills, investigating tide pools, and exploring the environment. After graduating from Santa Barbara High School, he took a gap year and traveled around the world. While in Xi'an, China, he met a local family making silk bags out of their home. He started importing these bags and selling them to independent retailers, which led to the creation of Big Buddha. The company became a leading brand of fashion-forward handbags, accessories, and shoes sold in thousands of domestic and international stores.
In 2010, Big Buddha was acquired by Steve Madden Ltd. and Bassan moved to New York City with his team and continued to grow the business through 2013. He moved back to Santa Barbara where he owns a boutique real estate investment and development company. He has been involved with Santa Barbara Botanic Garden since 2017. He served as co-chair of the Santa Barbara Beer Garden event in 2017 and 2018, and remains on its committee.
As the first botanic garden in the nation to focus exclusively on native plants, Santa Barbara Botanic Garden has dedicated nearly a century of work to better understand the relationship between plants and people. Growing from 13 acres in 1926 to today's 78 acres, the grounds now include more than five miles of walking trails, an herbarium, a seed bank, research labs, a library, and a public native plant nursery. Amid the serene beauty of the Garden, teams of scientists, educators, and horticulturists remain committed to the original spirit of the organization's founders – conserve California native plants and habitats to ensure they continue to support life on the planet and can be enjoyed for generations to come.

Collaboration remains a cornerstone of the company's success. In 2018, when ClarkDietrich began its search for a training partner to help it create a managerial training program, the company found an experienced, proven partner in American Management Association (AMA).
As the largest manufacturer of cold-formed steel framing in North America, ClarkDietrich has continued to grow through innovative designs, product development, and leveraging new technologies. This success has been fueled by the company's loyal, innovative, and talented employees who have embraced the constant changes in the construction industry.
Executives attest that collaboration requires a commitment to innovation, problem solving, and creating opportunities for everyone to succeed. ClarkDietrich's decision to invest in the development of managers and supervisors is just another reflection of the company's "Do the Right Thing— Do Things Right" commitment. The key role of a manager at ClarkDietrich is to engage employees around the United States to continue to grow and identify opportunities for the company's people and the business. Executives say this commitment requires a high level of trust, communication, alignment, and relationship-building to support a culture of high performance.
"More transparent organizations inspire more engaged and committed employees," says Todd Barnett, recently retired VP of human resources. "When employees can take greater ownership in the success of whatever venture it is that the company's embarking on and feel they're part of the inner circle, it affects the overall success of the organization. [Without that transparency] folks begin to wonder what's going on. And when they do that, they expend energy in a nonproductive way. If they don't know what's happening, they can't put their actions in the context of what's going on across the board of the organization. And so, it is a very delicate balance."
"Good management boils down to trust," Barnett says. "Especially when there is a lot of change going on. [When there is trust] there's a sense of camaraderie, and teamwork is enhanced, and I think their overall contribution is greater than it might be otherwise, because they don't have to worry about what's going on." Research supports that employee productivity is strongest when managers not only are able to manage projects and workflow but also are able to navigate that delicate balance of communication and relationship-building.
Managers need to effectively communicate change, manage conflict, and inspire workers when things get tough. Research reveals that more than 70% of team performance issues are related to the performance of managers and supervisors,1 and that inefficient management leads to lost productivity of $1 trillion annually in the United States.2
"That transparency and communication has to happen at every level so everyone's on the same page," adds Jennifer Smith, VP of human resources. "It helps with team building, engaging and motivating employees, and retention."
With this goal in mind, ClarkDietrich's human resources team explored how they could help their managers create a more productive and useful performance management process. This led the team to identify a number of managerial skills that would benefit from a "refresh" while providing a chance for many newer supervisors and managers to be exposed to these skills for the first time. The team decided to provide classroom training that would deliver the additional benefits of team building, networking, and sharing of knowledge and experiences.
"We've also definitely put a focus towards succession planning in the last few years in terms of developing our people," Smith says. "We want to empower our managers to feel good about having crucial conversations with their employees, and to talk about where they see themselves in a year versus three to five years. This initiative was to support that [goal] and get them where they want to go in their careers."
THE PROJECT: A NEW WAY TO BUILD HIGH PERFORMANCE
ClarkDietrich began working with a pilot group of managers to develop a new approach to performance reviews. The company identified new ways of providing feedback and coaching over time to replace the annual performance review.
"Trying to sum up a year's worth of performance on a formal written document does not really feel like building a bridge with team members," Smith says. "It caused a lot of stress for both the manager and the employee. What manager wants to do that?"
According to a Wakefield Research study,3 94% of employees prefer getting feedback and coaching in real-time, on the job, and not in performance reviews, which they feel are outdated. "Based on feedback from staff, we decided, let's do more frequent, less formal communication to really build those relationships," Smith says. And those relationships led to more effective discussions about employee roles and performance gaps.
"Sometimes employees are promoted and don't quite realize what the full job of being a manager entails," agrees Mary Lehr, director of human resources. "So, we initiated training to reinforce what it means to be a manager. It gets everyone on the same page on what a manager does, the role of HR, and how to handle difficult issues. Different people like to be communicated with in different ways, and we wanted to enable our managers and supervisors to have that flexibility in communication styles."
To help employees transition from a formal performance management process to a more engaging coaching model, ClarkDietrich partnered with AMA. AMA worked with ClarkDietrich's HR team through each step to develop a fully customized, instructor-led program that was delivered over two days onsite at the company's West Chester Township, Ohio, headquarters for approximately 100 managers and supervisors. The sessions were provided for groups of 25 participants per session to ensure plenty of time for activities and discussions. Each group contained a mix of managers and leaders—from team leads to plant managers to leaders from every department across the company. This mix provided a great opportunity for cross-functional networking and collaborative learning.
With AMA's support, ClarkDietrich's team was able to accomplish a number of the identified development goals:
Promote self-awareness of the leaders' preferred communication styles and how they affect those around them
Help managers adapt to the communication styles of their direct reports and colleagues to build better relationships
Improve their ability to communicate direction, plans, goals, and objectives
Practice their listening skills to uncover underlying issues and better manage conflict
Establish trust Refine their communication skills to engage and empower their direct reports
ClarkDietrich's internal use of a Styles Assessment Tool was also reinforced within this training program. AMA's training facilitator was able to build on what ClarkDietrich had begun to gather internally to further maximize ways to use this important knowledge.
DRIVING LASTING ENGAGEMENT AND RETENTION
Response to the management development program has been overwhelmingly positive. More important is the notable improvement in engagement and positive behavioral changes.
"There are several managers that come to mind," Lehr says. "The training has really changed their behavior at work. In the past, it's been really hard for some managers to manage change." She adds, "They are more open and more communicative, and it really makes a difference."
"I think the best indication that we've truly engaged our employees is our retention rate," Smith says. "We've had a lot of organizational change this last year. Because of that, we've had a lot of positions open up, and many internal candidates vying for those positions. Turnover is low. Employees want to stay, they want to grow with ClarkDietrich. We're really proud of our retention efforts, and this program was a fundamental part of building those relationships."
"We expect a lot from our vendors and partnerships," Smith continues. "The fact that AMA was willing to work with us, and work with us so well, customizing a program for our employees, won us over. The content was backed up by research, the facilitator brought in real-world experience, and the delivery was amazing."
Because the 2019 training was so successful, ClarkDietrich has extended the program and has scheduled an additional 100 managers to be trained in fall 2020.
"I think training and development for our leaders only makes us stronger as a company," says President and CEO Jim Collins. "The more knowledge our leaders have, the more confident, empowered, and prepared they will be for the future. Over the last several years, we have made strides to build our bench, and the leadership training delivered by AMA was a great way to do this."

• Employee benefit: George Matick Jr. Memorial Hillsdale College Scholarship - three months after the death of founder George Matick Jr., who was a Hillsdale graduate, his wife, Katie Matick, announced a fully endowed, full-tuition scholarship to begin in the 2015-16 school year for a family member of a Matick Chevrolet employee. When there is not an employee family member eligible, the scholarship can be awarded to a deserving student from Redford Township.
• Zimmermann on supporting charities: "Geography. Passion. Involvement. Effectiveness. Our first bias is to those efforts which benefit Redford Township, the community where we are located. Secondly is to northwest Detroit, near where we're located. We are deeply committed to being a good, influential citizen within our community, to give back and make better. We also have many big-hearted Matick team members who are deeply passionate about certain causes. If those team members are actively involved in their charity of choice, we will support them. Veterans causes, cancer research and inner-city education are among our most actively supported efforts. We also sponsor local Little League and youth football teams."
• Ryan Esler, sales and marketing director, on a change made in response to staff request: "Our rental vehicle coordinator and a service consultant proposed that guests returning rental cars should pull them into our service reception center as opposed to parking in our main lot, coming indoors, then going back outdoors for inspection of the vehicle. So now, the rental cars are returned in our 20-vehicle service reception center. This saves the customer time and movement and also allows for quicker, more comprehensive inspections. We've received great feedback from staff and customers about this seemingly small change that is reaping big benefits for our guests."
