Don't look it directly in the eyes. Nobody knows exactly what will happen if you do, but it's definitely bad. This 1990 Nissan Autech Zagato Stelvio is already angry, and it might just body slam you into the floor if it thinks you're disrespecting it. It's put up with nasty remarks about its aesthetic deficiencies for years, and it decided that enough was enough. Be kind to it, and it will be kind to you.
Zagato is known for gorgeous designs, and when it decides to pen something that isn't exactly beautiful, it goes for striking. Striking is exactly what this Nissan is. With this one, Zagato cribbed from their own Aston Martin V8 Zagato and Alfa SZ looks, and somehow I still think it works. It's also incredibly rare, as only 104 units were built.
Autech is known primarily for tuning luxury and sporting models of Nissan's lineup for decades, even modifying some for people with disabilities to fit into their everyday lives. They've built everything from long wheelbase Cedrics to the engines for Nissan's Super GT efforts.
For this Zagato-bodied wonder, Autech built a chassis (based on modified Nissan Leopard bones) and tuned up a high-horsepower version of Nissan's 3-liter VG30DET turbocharged V6 to power it. Zagato handled the body.
Those weird bulges to either side of the hood? Those are fender mirrors. It's got NACA ducts on the frickin' wheels! It cost more than a Honda NSX-R at the time. It's the most bubble-era Japanese thing I think I've ever seen, and I want it desperately.
As luck would have it, this one is for sale currently on eBay with a buy it now price of $49,500. To sweeten the pot, if you drive this thing to a Radwood you'll definitely win a Raddest in Show trophy.

Accenture NZ's revenues nearly double after Zag buyout
Reseller News Accenture NZ's revenues nearly double after Zag buyout Net profit falls again in 2021 as Accenture beds down its latest acquisition. Credit: Supplied The true scale of Accenture NZ after its buyout of SAP specialist consultancy Zag is being revealed. Accenture NZ's financial statements show the company's revenue nearly doubled, from $66.1 million to $120.8 million during the year ended 31 August 2021. Accenture owned Zag for nearly 11 months of that year. That latest results followed a decline in revenue in 2020, before the $39.8 million acquisition of Wellington-based Soltians, which trades under the name Zag, in early October 2020. In 2020, Accenture NZ reported total revenues of $66.1 million for the year, down from $76.7 million in 2019. Net profit after tax dropped from $9.5 million to $6.8 million. Net profit declined further in 2021, falling to $2.3 million. A note said Zag was bought to increase the number of in-demand SAP specialists on staff, especially those with skills related to the latest cloud version of SAP's enterprise resource planning software, S/4 HANA. Around 200 full-time equivalent staff were added. Accenture NZ's latest financials statements report a very large increase in employee expenses, from $14.5 million to $53.2 million. Subcontractor costs were also well up, from $3.6 million to $10.3 million while the cost of purchased consultancy services also rose, from $24.4 million to $31.7 million. Ben Morgan, Accenture's New Zealand managing director, said last year the pairing Accenture's global expertise with Zag's local talent and insight would strengthen Accenture's ability to help clients accelerate their business transformation using SAP and cloud technologies and to deliver more value from the new platforms. "This move demonstrates our ongoing commitment to bringing new thinking, talent and innovation to clients across the region," he said. Nick Mulcahy, then Zag's CEO and now head of technology and also managing director of Accenture NZ, said Zag had grown from an idea to a thriving business that has helped over 100 organisations to become "stronger, safer and more prosperous" through the use of technology. "The combination of Accenture and Zag is a great opportunity for our clients and teams, and we look forward to offering an unrivalled SAP offering," he said. Mulcahy or interests associated with him owned close to 30 per cent of Zag, via Soltians, according to NZ Companies Office records. He joined the the company, then known as Soltius in 2003 as a senior consultant.

Mighty Milton embarking on a two book adventure
Sophie Clarke | November 28, 2018
We're absolutely thrilled that Chicken House have acquired Milton the Mighty by debut writer Emma Read, a funny, quirky adventure with a uniquely lovable spider hero at its heart.
The novel was shortlisted for the 2017 Bath Children's Novel Award. Barry Cunningham, Chicken House Publisher, acquired World Rights to Milton the Mighty and a sequel from Lauren Gardner. Line illustrations and cover have been commissioned from illustrator and picture book author Alex G. Griffiths.
Aimed at readers aged 7+, the story explores themes of fake news, phobia and friendship as Milton is falsely accused of being dangerous in the media.
When little spider Milton discovers he's been branded deadly on social media – and is targeted by pest-killers BugKILL – he fears for his life and the future of his species. Alongside his BFFs, big hairy Ralph and spindly daddy-long-legs Audrey, he searches for a way to clear his name. But to succeed, Milton realises he must communicate with his house humans, a school-girl called Zoe and her arachnophobic dad … Is he mighty enough to achieve the impossible?
Emma Read has previously worked as a biologist, and now uses her transferable skills such as attention to detail, patience and fine motor skills to both write children's books and extract Lego from under the sofa. She lives in Bath with her young family.
Emma said, 'As Milton's house-human, I'm thrilled to be sharing his adventures with the world. Working with Chicken House is a dream come true, and we are celebrating with a double-helping of fruit-fly flan.'
Illustrator Alex G. Griffiths said, 'Collaborating with such a great publisher and author has of course been very exciting for me. Emma's story is heart-warming, funny and filled with great characters, and has been such a pleasure to illustrate.'
Milton the Mighty will be publishing in July 2019 with the sequel to follow in 2020.
Barry Cunningham, Chicken House publisher and MD said, 'Isn't it exciting to find a whole world of wonder in those dark corners? Milton will change the way we feel about spiders forever – and I can't wait to show how respect, love and fun are the really right feelings to have about our eight legged companions!'
Lauren Gardner said, 'Emma and Milton captured my heart in their wonderful web from the very first submission, and I am delighted to have found them a publishing home with the brilliant team at Chicken House.'

Inside The Jameson HOSTS Global Summit
Read Time: 5 Minutes |
Missed out on being part of the Jameson HOSTS Summit? Read all about what went on here and how you can get involved next year!
| By Cameron Mowat
The Jameson HOSTS Summit is the latest edition to Jameson Irish Whiskey's global bartender and hospitality community networking events.
We were lucky enough to get invited down to create content for the summit and meet all the wonderful people from the Jameson community.
The summit took place over 4 days, with a whole host of events sprinkled throughout. Bar takeovers, tours and a host of food and drink in Dublin bookended the summit, with the main events taking place down near the Midleton Distillery in Cork.
This bar industry meeting has occurred under various names in years before, such as the Barrelman's Homecoming, but this year it was hosted by Jameson HOSTS, the bar community outreach project set up by Jameson to help the bar industry out with knowledge, resources, education, events and connections. As the content creators for their online presence, it only made sense that we head down to Cork along with the HOSTS team and get involved.
Pre-Party
When Jameson hosts collaborative events, they do it big. The first event on the docket was a takeover of 1661, one of Ireland's top cocktail bars and poitín hub, by the notorious Bar With Shapes For A Name, or Shapes.
This event was held in Irish Craft Cocktails, the bottled cocktail production space that the 1661 team launched during the pandemic. The curator of the summit, Remy Savage, who was recently voted the second most influential bar industry personality, hosted this event and brought in Milena, his right hand woman, to help him out.
Together in their stylish jumpsuits, joined by some of the 1661 team, they served up a low-key masterclass on craft cocktails based on different art movements, using four of the top spirits from Pernod Ricard's portfolio to give the Irish bar scene a taste of London.
A personal favourite was the Blackthorn, a mix of Single Potstill Irish whiskey, vintage dry vermouth, vintage absinthe and a touch of sugar.
Afterwards it was into 1661 for some more drinks and then out into Dublin to explore.
In the morning everyone headed to Heuston station to get the train down to Cork. It was our first time travelling in First Class, and remarkably it's the exact same as the rest of the train, except you get a lamp on the tables.
From the train we headed down to the hotel, Castlemartyr Resort. The resort is a stunning 5* establishment nestled in the woodlands of Cork, surrounded by sweeping views of the hills, fields with roaming horses and forests stretching out as far as the eye can see.
After dropping everything off at our rooms (and a few pints) the group headed over to the Midleton Distillery for a tour of some of their Bonded Warehouses, complete with whiskey tasting straight from the cask, and a look into the Garden Still House at the 6 world-record holding pot stills that make the malt and pot still whiskeys that put Jameson and the other whiskeys in the Midleton portfolio on the map.
Then it was off to the pub, specifically Blackbird in Ballycotton, a traditional Irish pub in a village near the coast. After a dinner of fish and chips (the best we'd tasted in a long time), Ger Buckley, Master Cooper of the Midleton Distillery, gave us all a demonstration of his art and an insight into his three thousand year old discipline.
After a few more Jamesons and swapping stories with people from all over the world, we piled back into the bus and made our way back to the hotel bar for a nightcap.
The main-event happened the next day. In a large canvas marquee beside some crumbling ruins of an old castle, we got to hear talks by the eight speakers that had been brought in from around the globe to share their unique perspectives on a whole host of topics from the hospitality industry.
They were:
Dave Mulligan – Becoming A Proprietor
Josephine Sondelo – Cocktail Competitions: How Athletes Prepare
Emilio Di Salvo – Satan's Whiskers: How We Work
Andy Ferreira – The Trials And Tribulations Of Seasonality
Danil Nevilsky – How To Build A Brand
Sumaiyah Edwards – Finding Your Balance
Vijay Mudalier – A Progressive Industry
Remy Savage – Drink More Art
Not only was each talk incredibly interesting and exciting, they were paired with a cocktail that highlighted the core value of the talk. For example, Sumaiyah Edward's drink was a shot of ginger juice, perfectly paired for her talk on health and wellness.
We were also lucky enough to interview each of the speakers afterwards and get some answers to some of our burning questions.
Next was dinner in the Capel Suite, the large banquet hall in the Castlemartyr, complete with band and a surprise performance by a contemporary Irish Dance collective. Afterwards the whole contingent of 140+ bar industry people headed to Cork City for a night of dancing, drinks and a Daft Punk Tribute band.
The last full day of the summit was more of a down time day. Starting with a bus back from Cork to Dublin, the summit group swung from pizza and pints at Bonobo to the Old Jameson distillery at Bow Street for the full tour.
Afterwards it was back to the hotels for some R&R and then out to Krewe for dinner and finally full circle back to 1661 for the farewell drinks.
Overall the experience was a blast! Not only was the event great craic, but it was the perfect representation of Jameson's new slogan 'widen the circle', with whiskey lovers from all over the world and at all stages of their journey in hospitality mixing and mingling, meeting all the friends they just hadn't made yet. We personally got to meet some of our heroes from the industry and pick their brains, which most industry people only dream of.
If you want to get invited to the next Summit there's two ways you can go about it. The first is to be one of the winners from the Jameson Black Barrel Bartender Series Cocktail Competition next year, so keep an eye out for that. The second is to make an impression on the Jameson brand ambassadors in your market. Either way, if joining the summit next year is one of your goals, it'll be bigger and better than this year, so we hope to see you there.

Are You Ready to Write (These two things will help)?
How do you know when you're ready to write…?
Passed English class with an A?
Attended the finest writer conferences?
Completed an MFA from a prestigious college?
Accolades from friends, family, and fans around the globe?
Maybe these are the validation points the writer needs before jumping into the writing game with both feet. But for most writers these are not what proves readiness or longevity in the art form.
"I am sure that some are born to write as trees are born to bear leaves; for these, writing is a necessary mode of their development. If the impulse to write survives the hope of success, then one is among these," (C. S. Lewis and the Art of Writing, pp. 134).
For Lewis, the litmus test of writers is twofold. First, writers will write, have to write, and will not stop writing. It's akin to breathing. They'll write because it's part of their development and in their bones and guts, and DNA.
But Lewis also suggests a second test for determining the readiness of a writer. Can they continue to write regardless of their success?
No one writes for the success that may or may not come. Writers started on their typewriters in grade school for the sheer exhilaration and joy of telling stories. Writers write and success is a nice byproduct for the time, work, and effort, but not the primary motivator.
I'd argue the only way you'll have any success in writing is if you die to your pride and ego and pipe dreams of becoming a household name.
What is success anyway? Publishing deal? Notoriety? Six figure income? Clicks and views on your blog and Medium page?
None of these things are wrong and none of these things will sustain a writer. Deals come and go. Money dries up. Some posts, articles, and books don't resonate. Notoriety for writers is unheard of unless you have the last name King, Rowling, Patterson or Child. Even these successful writers wouldn't be picked out of a police lineup.
The pure motivation of money in any field is a fools errand. No one can predict economic down turns. The best marketed books sometimes plummet into nothingness. Intelligent people in publishing houses still don't know why certain books sell millions and others thousands.
But when the impulse to write is greater than success, you'll find true joy. When no one is watching, and no one cares, and you still write… you're a little crazy, or maybe, you're a writer.
When success isn't our primary motivator we are freed to create our best work. When the fear and anxiety of fame and fortune wane and the explosive joy of creating comes to the surface… you are no longer shackled by what if this stinks, what if it bombs, and what if the writing police lock me up for a bad book?
You can write free and honest. Maybe for the first time.
C. S. Lewis learned this lesson. Before he became a Christian, his life was filled with pride and ego. He wrote to be a known commodity and strived for fame and fortune above all else.
When God humbled him he wrote for a different reason. Lewis wrote because he had to. Wrote because success mattered little. He found true joy in God. Writing became a gift but not an ultimate thing.
Some say Lewis' best work came after his conversion to Christ because he was freed to simply create. To create for an audience of One.
I don't know why you write. Not sure what motivates the words on the page. But, seeking success, and only success, will never be enough to sustain you long term.
Write for joy. Write because it's a gift and grace and God-ordained creative outlet. Write because you have something to say. Write because words have power.
Write because you have to. Write when success is not your primary goal.

Maroma Mayan Riviera
Maroma resort and spa is a secluded luxurious seaside hideaway on the Caribbean sea in the Yucatan peninsula of mexico. The property is 37 km south of Cancun international airport and about 45 minutes from the city of cancun. The resort is built in the tradition of the Mexican haciendas where personal service, warm hospitality and privacy are unsurpassed.
Maroma Beach
Catalonia playa Manorama the hotel, which is located at a privileged point on the Caribbean coast, is named after the magnificent beach known as Playa de Punta Maroma. Surrounded by lush mangrove forests which are native to the Yucatan peninsula, the hotel is located in an area of astonishing, scenic beauty.
The legend behind the creation of the luxurious Maroma Resort and Spa is almost too good to be true. The story of the owner's early days on Mexico's famed Maroma Beach reads like a real-life Robinson Caruso. The luxurious Maroma Resort and Spa standing today was built on a foundation of what the Moreno's term "handmade hospitality." The Maroma Hotel's official grand opening was Valentine's Day in 1995.
Maroma offers 66 rustically luxurious rooms and suites. All guestrooms offer ocean or garden views, and feature original art by resident artist Bertrand Castelli, hand-loomed bedding and rugs, private terraces with sofas and or double hammocks, bamboo shutters, telephone, in-room safes, high speed internet connection and CD players.
In Maroma's Kinan Spa has launched four new treatments to honour its natural surroundings. These can be combined with a traditional Mayan Temazcal, a ritualistic treatment which weaves together ancient traditions to leave an overall feeling of cleanliness, calm and inner peace.
Maroma Resort & Spa
Surrounded by a nature preserve, Maroma Resort & Spa is more of a place to hide out and escape than to meet and mingle. The whole property has a calm and soothing feeling. It comes to life at meal times, when guests have the opportunity to socialize and lounge on El Restaurante.
Maroma features hand-made accents, hand-painted bath tiles, hand-woven rugs and bedding, and original art. Guests can experience a traditional Mayan steam bath or can get a workout in the modern exercise room overlooking one of the three pools.
With its growing reputation as a world-class resort, Maroma has earned such prestigious awards as the 2008 Travel and Leisure World's Best Awards as the best Hotel Spa in Latin America, ranking them overall, the fifth best Hotel Spa in the world; The World's Best Places to Stay by Conde Nast Traveler Magazine 2004 to 2008; and the Travel Channel has rated Maroma as the World's Best Beach three years in a row.

Social Media: The Setting Tool for Independent Artists' Success
Independent artists: Macklemore. Retrieved from https://bandwagmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/macklemore-1.jpg
Social media teaches us about brands ruling the world. Popular platforms like MySpace, Facebook and Twitter began revolutionizing brand loyalty, identity and vision from the get-go. Independent artists are learning social media as a tool for promoting, selling music and success. Social media's popularity is as basic as our need to connect with other (Ramasubbu, 2017). Sharing images, videos and posts is a simple part of the connection process for an artist. But recommending products and services, sharing coupons and shopping habits are part of the complex behemoth process of connecting customers to brands.
The music industry relies on that behemoth process to promote music. Artists use social media as a channel for sharing details about their lifestyle, music and professional experiences. Popular artists aren't unique when keeping fans engaged to their social media profiles. Their brand identity shines on a leveled ground where signed and unsigned artists work hard for fan engagement. And they use the same tools and strategies to do so.

Conversational robots and virtual characters can enhance learning and expand entertainment options for children, a trio of studies by Disney Research shows, though exactly how these autonomous agents interact with children sometimes depends on a child's age.
Pre-school children responding to an on-screen character, for instance, may be happiest if the character simply waits for their responses or repeats a question. Older children talking with a robot, on the other hand, appreciate it when the robot references their previous conversations, while younger children are just as happy if the robot treats each conversation as a new encounter.
"Teasing out these nuances is necessary if we are to make the interactions between automated characters and children as engaging as possible," said Jill Fain Lehman, senior research scientist.
Lehman and other staff members of Disney Research will present findings from the three studies at the Interaction Design and Children Conference in Palo Alto, Calif., June 27-30.
"Though parent-child interaction remains the most important factor in child development, the prospect of automated characters that can interact with children offers exciting opportunities for further enhancing learning and play," said Markus Gross, vice president at Disney Research. "The insights that our researchers are gleaning from their experiments will help us create interactive media that children will embrace and cherish."
In one set of studies led by Elizabeth Carter, associate research scientist, the researchers examined how children ages 3-5 responded to interactive television programming. Children's programming that involves characters asking questions of young viewers has been extremely popular for the last two decades, even though the characters only pause a set amount of time before proceeding with the action.
This study looked at how children react when the character responds as soon as the child finishes answering, as well as when the character repeats an unanswered question and when the character indicates whether the answer is correct. Because of the limitations of existing conversational agents, researchers used a method in which an unseen human controls the interaction, but the child perceives the interaction as being with the virtual character.
The researchers found that children were more likely to verbally engage with the program when the character waited for their responses and when unanswered questions were repeated. But feedback about their answers didn't seem to matter.
"The bottom line is if your technology has a microphone to detect a child's response, then you should take advantage of it," Carter said. "But you don't need to worry about speech recognition because kids this age don't care about the feedback."
In a second study led by Boyang "Albert" Li, the researchers studied collaborative storytelling. When parents and children engage in storytelling together, research has shown substantial benefits in vocabulary, narrative comprehension and cognitive development, he noted. Existing storytelling robots or virtual characters, however, just tell a story and then have the child tell a story. In these experiments with 78 children ages 4-10, Li, Lehman and their colleagues investigated what happens if the robot makes suggestions as the child tells a story.
They looked at what happens when the robot makes suggestions based on the context of the existing story, such as "What happens if our hero finds a kitten?" as well as suggestions unrelated to context, such as "How about adding a kitten to our story?" They found the children enjoyed both types of suggestions.
Younger children and boys seemed to have more difficulty with contextual suggestions, perhaps because this forced them to think about how someone else perceived the story, the researchers found. Even so, they enjoyed the experience and might learn more from such suggestions in the long run.
"Children learn best when they are given difficult tasks within their reach," Li said. "But the effects only become apparent over time."
In the final study, led by Lehman, researchers looked at how 67 children ages 4-10 interacted with a conversational robot named PIPER. This study also used a method to simulate autonomous interaction. The children alternated participation in various activities with other robots and talking with PIPER about each activity.
In one experimental condition, PIPER showed no indication it remembered the previous encounters. In a second condition, PIPER would make references to previous conversations. In a third condition, the robot had both its own memory of previous interactions and information provided by other observers of the children's activities, much as one person might hear about an event from a second person concerning a mutual friend.
Lehman said younger children most enjoyed conversations in which PIPER didn't display any memory of previous encounters. But older children were most engaged when PIPER seemed to remember them and shared opinions that were based on the knowledge provided by others.
"Compared with the other robots they encountered, older children who interacted with the version of PIPER with a persistent memory thought it was the most intelligent of the robots and was their favorite," Lehman said.
Combining creativity and innovation, this research continues Disney's rich legacy of leveraging technology to enhance the tools and systems of tomorrow.

Its purpose is to pursue scientific and technological innovation to advance the company's broad media and entertainment efforts.

Sara popped a couple of Advil into her mouth, quickly chasing them with a long swig of coffee from her thermos. "This is all your fault, Grissom!" she groused good-naturedly. "If you hadn't brought that champagne to breakfast this morning-"
"You'd have to complain about something else!' Grissom finished for her, smiling as he teased.
Warrick snorted. "Got you there, Sara."
Sara ignored him. "So, Grissom. Where are we walking to on this cold night that we can't get to by Tahoe?
"Not much further." Grissom shone his maglight at her, smiling. "Brass is already there, waiting for us."
"We're practically in the middle of the desert! Where in the world can Brass be? Wouldn't we see lights or-" her voice petered out as Grissom abruptly stopped at the edge of a small cliff. About 10 feet down, she saw several police officers and Brass, standing in the middle of it all, barking out orders.
She threw a glance at Warrick, who shrugged. "How do we get down there?" she asked, incredulously.
Grissom shone his flashlight around - "Ladders. Over there. You guys ready?"
Brass met them at the bottom of the ladder. "Hey guys. I have a name for you."
"Really? That was quick work. Did he have identification on him?" Grissom asked, as they followed Brass towards their victim.
"No ID. And whoever killed him chopped off his fingertips, so no fingerprints either."
"Than how do you know who he is?"
Brass grinned. "We all know who he is - we were just listening to him on the radio this morning. It's Randy Rivers, the DJ from the Rivers and Waters morning show. Recognized his face from all those big ads on the buses."
They stopped in front of the body. The youngish man was naked, stretched out carefully on the sand spread eagle. As Brass had indicated, Mr. Rivers was missing his fingertips. They had all been amputated from the middle knuckles up. There were several dark bruises on his chest and arms, and Grissom suspected that their victim probably had several broken ribs.
At this early stage, there was no obvious sign as to what had caused his death, although the beating he had obviously taken could have done it. Other than the vivid bruising, however, there were no stab marks, and obviously no gunshot wounds.
Sara had already started taking pictures, when Warrick quickly pulled on his latex gloves and leaned forward, staring intently at the face.
"Grissom, Sara. Look at this. He's got something jammed into his mouth." Sara carefully snapped a couple of photos, and watched with Grissom as Warrick gingerly pulled a short piece of video tape film from the victims' mouth. The majority of the blockage remained jammed down his throat.
"Well, well." Grissom said, looking at the three inches of tape hanging from Rivers mouth that now fluttered obscenely against the victims face in the light wind. "Video killed the radio star."

Teacher arrested after overdosing on fentanyl in front of students; police discover drugs in classroom closet

A New Jersey middle school teacher was arrested after he allegedly overdosed on drugs while in the classroom.
Police said that 57-year-old Frank Thompson, an art teacher at Roosevelt Intermediate School in Westfield, fell unconscious on Nov. 29 while in his classroom. The school resource officer responded to the scene and "observed signs indicative of a drug overdose."
That officer then administered Narcan, which reduces or reverses the effects of opioids. After the Narcan was administered, Thompson showed "marked signs of improvement."
Upon investigating further, police discovered "a quantity of a suspected controlled dangerous substance and various items of drug paraphernalia were located in a closet in the classroom," the Westfield Police Department said in a statement.
Thompson was formally charged on Jan. 5 with possession of a controlled dangerous substance (fentanyl), possession of drug paraphernalia, and endangering the welfare of children.
The school district informed parents of the incident, WNYW-TV reported. After the incident, the students were removed from the classroom and it was sealed off to be thoroughly cleaned. The school said that a former teacher returned to the school to continue classroom instruction.
Westfield Police Chief Christopher Battiloro said:
The Westfield Police Department continues to prioritize its ongoing partnership with the Westfield Public School System to ensure it has the safety and security resources it needs on a daily basis. In this case, the swift actions of Officer Riga, who is on-site at Roosevelt Intermediate each school day, proved instrumental in maintaining the safety of the students and administering potentially life-saving measures to Mr. Thompson.
Officials, however, did not say why it took nearly six weeks to charge Thompson. They did not say whether the teacher had a regular habit of using drugs while at work.
The Westfield Public School District, moreover, is not commenting on the incident.
"While the Westfield Public School District cannot comment on personnel matters which are confidential, we will maintain a continued focus on student and staff safety and on preserving the integrity of the classroom learning environment," said Superintendent Dr. Raymond González.

Digital marketing has never been bigger. Whether you're a small tech start-up just beginning to attract attention or a major consultancy with 5,000 employees, measuring your digital marketing metrics is integral to understanding how well you're reaching new audiences, retaining customers, and driving leads.
But success in this area requires strategy. This is where simply recognising digital marketing's importance doesn't match up to practical implementation (particularly for companies in the B2B industry). This is largely due to a lack of time, budget (37% of marketers state budget constraints hinder them from conducting an efficient marketing strategy) or the right data (42% state that a lack of quality data is the biggest barrier to lead generation).
Maya is a tool we have built in association with Microsoft to help you benchmark your organisation's digital marketing efforts. The tool functions as your 'digital CMO' – helping you track and build a coherent and successful digital marketing strategy at a fraction of the cost of a full-time CMO role.
What's in a digital marketing strategy? A digital marketing strategy involves the type of content you're going to prioritise, how you're going to reach audiences and, crucially, how you'll measure the impact of what you're doing. Fundamentally, this includes content, website, and social media marketing—but it can evolve alongside your business. Comprehensive marketing strategies may include video, email, paid ad campaigns, and more.
Maya: how does it measure your marketing metrics?
Maya produces a detailed report on your success across the core digital marketing metrics—blogging output, website quality and social media engagement—highlighting your biggest areas of improvement and advising you on how to improve. We call it benchmarking because you're given a 'benchmark' of your progress, the first of which serves as a foundation from which you can improve. Building on from the foundation, Maya offers you more, the more you use it. You could take, for instance, a monthly 'reading' of your digital marketing efforts with Maya to highlight the progress you are making.
Let's look at how you can use Maya to continuously measure your marketing metrics.
Head to trymaya.com – you can get started right away, but we suggest creating a Maya account, so you can log your reports and begin benchmarking your digital marketing.
Add your details so Maya can generate your report—make sure you include "https://" in your URL and validate your blog address so Maya can find your RSS feed. Maya will then start analysing your blog, website and social media accounts (if you've added them all).
Maya crunches the data across your entire blog, website and social feeds – so the process can take a while! If you're in a rush, you can have your report emailed to you once it's ready.
Now you can review your report. See where you scored high and low and start taking steps to improve! Maya provides a detailed review of the quality of content within your digital marketing channels. Your content is tested against a range of metrics to build an overall picture of your marketing. You also get advice on all key areas to help you improve on your weakest areas and improve your score.
Each report Maya creates can be viewed on your dashboard.
Maya's benchmarking tool is completely free to use. But we've recently released Maya PRO – a subscription-based service that goes further into helping you improve your marketing metrics. Included in Maya PRO is the Maya Knowledge Base: a hub of highly-actionable content crafted to help you improve your marketing, and curated so you see personalized content that's relevant to your report score.
Need to learn how to better structure you blog posts, or come up with fresh ideas for B2B tech blogs? Want to know the best time to tweet to get maximum exposure, or how to grow your Twitter and LinkedIn following? Want to know some quick tricks to speed up your website? Maya PRO has step-by-step, easy-to-follow videos to improve your marketing in the areas specific to your company.
We know from experience that consistent and high-quality digital marketing translates to the most important of all the marketing metrics: leads. We've seen the impact that marketing campaigns can have on our clients' bottom line and how the right website, the right blog and the right level of engagement on social channels can significantly increase the number of leads that arrive at your digital door.
Not only does Maya help with benchmarking your digital marketing efforts. It highlights the areas you need to improve, and gives you the knowledge to do so, to improve your marketing consistently across the board. So, try our digital benchmarking tool today to measure your marketing metrics and incorporate it into your long-term strategy.
Test your marketing efforts with Maya for free right now!

Your capital may be at risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and investors may not get back the original amount invested.
Key investment risks
There is no guarantee that the strategy will achieve its objective.
A fall in the UK market may have a significant impact on the value of the strategy because it primarily invests in this market.
The strategy may use derivatives to generate returns as well as to reduce costs and/or the overall risk of the strategy. Using derivatives can involve a higher level of risk. A small movement in the price of an underlying investment may result in a disproportionately large movement in the price of the derivative investment.
Investments in bonds are affected by interest rates and inflation trends which may affect the value of the strategy.
The strategy may invest in investments that are not traded regularly and are therefore subject to greater fluctuations in price.

Q: Why does Ubuntu 12.04 Boot To Black Screen after updating Chromium? I was running Ubuntu  12.04 LTS for 64 bit systems on a dual boot custom computer with Windows 7. It was functioning normally for at least 3 days before I noticed that Youtube videos were flickering on my screen in Chromium. My first thought was to update flash, and since flash comes with the latest version of chrome, I tried updating my Chromium installation. At first I tried using the Chromium Updater Extension, but it didn't solve the problem. It was somewhere around this time that Chromium stopped opening completely. I then tried uninstalling and reinstalling Chromium, but it still wouldn't open. I tried running the program from the command line, but got a message involving "libudev.so.0" being missing from the operating system. I believe after this I had to leave so I shut down the computer.
The next day, I tried loading the Ubuntu installation, only to see that it was stuck on the purple screen. After waiting a while, I tried restarting it and loading it again. This time, it only booted to a black screen with a blinking line at the top left of the screen, much like a terminal window. I tried removing all the non essential USB devices but it still wouldn't boot.
I did attempt to use the Boot-Repair Graphical Tool, but it said that it encoutered an error and gave me this link: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7306456/ .  Ubuntu still won't boot at this point, and I'd rather not have to reinstall it a third time. I did try Repairing Grub2 via the live CD terminal as accoridng to this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_the_LiveCD_terminal , but i'm a bit nervous about removing the Grub entirely. Won't that make it difficult for me to boot windows? Also, I can't remember exactly when but I got that same message about libudev.so.0 being missing again at some point when trying to boot. Probably after using Boot-Repair.
April 23 - I did try enabling boot messages to see if anything useful came up, and I got two messages at the very end that looked important.
ureadahead main process (312) terminated with status 5
mountall main process (319) terminated with status 127
I did try looking up solutions, but the ones I found sounded very sketchy and all over the place.

A: After some work, I managed to get the desktop back by following the directions here:
'mount: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0 : no such file or directory' error while booting
In recovery, start a root shell and remount the partition read-write
mount -o remount,rw /

Install the missing package
apt-get install libudev

Reboot and all is OK

Why Is Forex Trading Appealing?
Throughout the years, the Foreign Exchange market has pulled in numerous investors as trading in the Forex market can be lucrative and the opportunities are plentiful. If you're considering to expand and/or diversify your investment portfolio and aren't certain of Forex is the proper route to take, learning some fundamental things about Forex trading and the market itself may just help you come up with a decision.
Starting With A Reliable Forex Broker
Some experience traders would advise having an fx 海外口座 おすすめ, fx overseas account, since the Forex market is the most dynamic as well as the largest trading markets in the globe. To help you with this, you need to get a reliable Forex broker. However, looking for a Forex broker with an excellent performance and track record can be difficult task as you need to ensure your needs and expectations are met. Fx 海外口座 おすすめ provides a list of reliable Forex brokers to help you begin your journey in the Foreign Exchange market.
Knowing The Benefits Of Forex Trading To Get Started
But before you start, you first have to know why Forex trading appeals to a lot of investors by knowing and recognizing the benefits it offers. This way, you will determine if investing in the Forex market is for you.
Flexible and Available
Forex trading is available at any time of the day, which means you can do your trading whichever time you please and create your own schedule for trading. The availability as well as the flexibility of Forex trading are factors that are extremely important especially for Forex traders who are still holding a full-time work.
Liquidity and Size
One of the major reasons as to why many trade in the Forex market is because of its size as well as its liquidity. The Foreign Exchange market is the biggest in the world and is the most liquid. Since the market is quite large, you won't get wedged at a certain trade as the market allows you to change stances as you deem fit and best. Furthermore, because of the market size, it will be impossible for a single individual or entity to seize control over the market.
When it comes to leverage, the market of Foreign Exchange is at constantly at the winning side. There is a possibility to reach a leverage of 500:1, but this will depend on who your broker is as well as on the currencies that appeal to you. Unlike in stock trading, you can begin trading in the Forex market even if your account don't have that much money. This is where your broker comes, but it is also imperative that you have sufficient and continuous knowledge on the topic.

Foraging for food is nothing new but urban foraging is becoming a rising star. No, it is not dumpster diving but rather finding all sorts of edible plants growing in the urban scene. As a native of Queens author Ava Chin is an expert on urban foraging and in her book, Eating Wildly, she takes the readers on a virtual trip through the streets, backyards, and parks of New York City as she looks for edible plants. But the trip is more than just an informative guide to urban edibles, it is also a personal journey of discovery as Chin examines the relationships in her life and relates them to the food that she finds.
You will never look at weeds the same way after reading Chin's book. We learn lambs-quarters is more spinachy than spinach, that wild daylilies grow by the hundreds in Central Park, and that morels can be found within the confines of New York City. We learn how Chin hosted a Spring Foraging Tasting Brunch that included daylilies, field garlic, garlic mustard, dandelion, plantain, and mugwort, and can duplicate the wild greens pie she served because the recipe is included. The whole time we read about foraging we also become involved in the story of Chin's grandparents and their influence on her love of food as well as her successful search for the Right Man, after numerous failures. A charming story and inspiration to appreciate all the wonderful plants that are around you even in the urban landscape.

GUN (GameCube) review
"Life's never been fair, it'll never be fair, and it sure as hell wasn't fair in the Wild West. But that's Gun: true to the real."
Hollywood's got a love affair going on with the West, like it's the end-all be-all world of justice. Good guys won, bad guys lost; good guys get good girls, bad guys get shot in the crotch. Heroes wore fedoras and had few words to say, villains dressed in black and couldn't figure out how to shut up. Makes for good movies. All wrong, though.
The only thing cut and dry about the real West was the land. Love had a price that often charged by the hour, and justice wasn't much better. Want a golden rule? You got gold, you make rules.
Life's never been fair, it'll never be fair, and it sure as hell wasn't fair in the Wild West. But that's Gun: true to the real.
A lone cowboy tears through the prairie, a horse beneath him, a blazing sun above,a rising dust cloud behind. Signs of life are rare, but they do exist; he stumbles onto a buffalo herd, passes a ranch, maybe a pack of wolves on the horizon, searching for their meal. Gun is an open world, boundless, alive in some places, dead in others.
The forests can lose a man; swallow him in the brush and shade. Waterfalls trickle into streams that flow into waterfalls again, rushing ver the hooves of a passing horse. Rough dirt paths mark the way, the occasional cabin, but by and large it's an untamed land, a true wilderness.
The vast plains are weak in life but great in majesty; the mountains, the plateaus, the foothills and the valleys all give the landscape power, the kind of power that lends to a great painter's work.
The world begs to be explored, it welcomes the changes the challenge. The horizon wants you to ride to it. That's Gun; a seamless environment, the kind of world that is what it looks like.
The sights aren't just for seeing, though. A story needs a setting and a setting needs a story.
It's all about a man with a gun, a roughneck named Colton. He leads a simple life with his father; hunting all day, selling the kills to passing ferries, making a mint. Doesn't last. They get attacked by some scrags, renegades, guys who can't seem to figure out that they lost the Civil War. They get hounded, trapped on the ferry, fighting for their lives while the rebs slaughter everyone on board. Colton escapes, his father stays and fights. The ferry sinks, destroyed. And Colton, floating down the river, close to death, sees it all happen. His whole way of life, drifting away down the might Mississippi, leaving only one question: Why?
He has a rough time finding the answers; throats'll be slit, heads'll be scalped, body parts are going to be ripepd from their body. Gun is raw, crude; ears get cut offf, fingers get shot off, heads get blown off. Unedited, unfiltered. Colton winds up on the business end more than once.
But it can be helped. True, what happens to Colton during the story is going to happen regardless, but the game has plenty of ways to keep safe in-play.
You'll have the best weapons an outlaw could ask for, top of the line for their time. The shotgun can blow a hole in a man's chest wide enough for a cat to walk through. Sniper rifles, primitive version of the modern day things that do the job just as well. Bow and arrows, for when you don't want to be heard until you want to be heard. You can even get your hands on cannons and gatling guns, perfect for murder in large nubmers.
But it wouldn't be the West without handguns. Easy to carry and quick to load, balancing power and speed. Not the mention the Quick Draw.
This ain't Red Dead Revolver; there's no timer, no sequence you need to get down pat. When Colton goes to Quick Draw, he goes to first-person. Time cuts in half; slow enough for him to shoot, fast enough that getting shot is still a worry. Colton aims and the game helps; letting him hone in on targets, changing focus with a flick of the control stick.
Aim. Headshot. Flick. Aim. Headshot. Flick. Aim. Headshot. Flick. Three outlaws fall, one outlaw stands: Colton.
He can't hold the Quick Draw forever, but the time extends with each kill, letting him keep the advantages so long as he keeps the body count high. Seven kills in seven seconds, easily done.
Colton needs more than skill, though; he needs strength and he needs to get stronger. He needs to look for work, do side jobs, scour the wild yonder for bounties or wild game and reap the rewards. Success makes him stronger, upgrades his abilities, makes him tough enough to deal with badder badasses. Money lets him up the arsenal; weapons hit harder, load faster, shoot farther.
The better he gets, the better his chances, but the odds always tip against him. Assaults can come at any side from any angle at any time. Radar helps, but it won't do everything. It won't tell him who's got a gun, who's charging with a tomahawk raised, or who's throwing a lit stick of dynamite his way. It won't tell him what weapon they'll have, how outmatched he'll be. It won't tell him if they're coming on horseback or running on foot.
He's got to find out for himself. Always.
But that's what the West was about: Adaptation. Things get tough, you get tougher. A man punches you in the face; you put a bullet in his. It's the land of the quick and the dead. GUN captures that better than any game before it.
And it all starts off with a prayer, too. Love the irony.
who art in heaven
thy will be done...

I need to accomplish something, anything, extraordinary fast because when someone decides to make a movie about my life, I need to be played by Robert DeNiro.
When I informed my mother of this, she told me, through astute observation, that I am a girl. I countered that my decision is not one based on gender, but greatness. Indeed, Robert DeNiro has had an illustrious career. He is arguably the better Vito Corleone. I am not completely sure I would make that argument, but I am sure someone would and someone else has argued on this front. I have only been alive for the later part of Robert DeNiro's career, which has included such hits as Dirty Grandpa. I am not looking for the Dirty Grandpa version of Robert DeNiro. I am looking for the Godfather Part II/Raging Bull/Goodfellas version of Robert DeNiro. In a pinch, I will accept the Silver Lining's Playbook version. Under no circumstances is anyone allowed to even breathe mention of the New Year's Eve version.
Basically what I am looking for is someone lauded and whom I admire while reminding everyone that I am Italian (aggressively so, according to Bill). Furthermore, I am not sure if I have BDE, but I would like to be played by someone who does. Robert DeNiro meets the criteria. But, and this is very important, I do not want Robert DeNiro playing me the way he played Don Corleone. I just want Robert DeNiro doing things that I have done. I honestly feel that Robert DeNiro reacting to my life is the best representation of the version of me that lives in my brain. If only I lived in Paris, then the vision would be complete. But I don't live in Paris, so we will have to settle for Robert DeNiro living through the nonsense I have. If you can imagine Robert DeNiro sleep deprived and sitting in the hardest class of his college career when he suddenly forgets about the number three (3) and is very confused by the symbol that Chauncey, the professor who swears incessantly, has just written on the board before suddenly realizing that said symbol is a very basic number, then you can grasp the gist of this film.
I was reminded of how much I need Robert DeNiro to play me after I turned on Being Flynn thinking it was another film for which I had seen the trailer but had forgotten the title. I still am not sure what specific film I thought I would be watching even after a cursory Google search. I thought I was going to be watching a coming-of-age comedy, and instead I got a dark family drama that I needed to take a break from about two-thirds of the way through. Still, I was blown away by the performances of the lead actors: Paul Dano, Julianne Moore, and especially Robert DeNiro. The film wound up being good, but Robert DeNiro's performance was great. The way in which he is able to disappear into a role so much so that I was able to forget I was watching Robert DeNiro solidified for me that his next challenge should be taking on the inner workings of a twenty-year-old who loves Connecticut probably more than anyone has ever loved Connecticut through all of human history.
On the off-chance that Robert DeNiro is unavailable, please contact Jenna Fischer.


Save the date: The Paris Review's annual gala, the Spring Revel, will be Tuesday, April 4, 2017, at Cipriani 42nd Street. We'll honor Richard Howard with our Hadada Award.
The pleasure of seeing new work become expert and characteristic of the new poet never fails … I suppose I have a pretty even balance of interest in the poetry of the past and the poetry coming into being. The energy necessary for both interests doesn't have to be sustained—it sustains me.
He has also given the classics new life: his translation of Baudelaire's Les fleurs du mal won a National Book Award in 1983, and more recently he's been translating the later novels of Guy de Maupassant. Howard was made a Chevalier de l'Ordre National du Mérite by the French government. His many American honors include a MacArthur "genius" grant and the Literary Award of the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
We're thrilled to add the Hadada to that list: it's our lifetime-achievement award, presented annually to a distinguished member of the writing community who has made a strong and unique contribution to literature. Last year's honoree was Lydia Davis; previous recipients include John Ashbery, Joan Didion, Paula Fox, Norman Mailer, Peter Matthiessen, George Plimpton (posthumously), Barney Rosset, Philip Roth, Norman Rush, James Salter, Frederick Seidel, Robert Silvers, and William Styron.
It's only fitting that Howard should join their ranks. Please join us in April to celebrate his extraordinary career. Cross your fingers: if we're lucky, we can get Mildred, the large stuffed gorilla who resides on Howard's bed, to join us for the festivities.
