This cabinet is a completely unique and one of a kind piece, that has hidden secrets that will blow your mind. As well as the cabinet being completely amazing, it also has a very interesting history. It was first built in 1778 and finished in 1779 by, David Roentgen, a world renowned carpenter who was a true master of his craft.
He used different types of wood, metals, ivory, mother of pearl and silk to finish this beautiful piece of art. When he was finished constructing the complex cabinet, Johann Christian Krause pulled it all together by incorporating the mechanical features. This craftsmanship is truly one of a kind and legendary.
Three of these cabinets were made, with slightly different looks and were all sold to European royal families. This specific piece was bought by King Frederick William II of Prussia.The most mind blowing part about this cabinet is that it was built before there was any modern technology.

Wyoming Remains One of the Least States Affected by Unemployment
designer491
The Covid-19 crisis has certainly taken its toll on everyone. But despite stark unemployment increases almost everywhere across the country, Wyoming has held strong as one of the least affected states by unemployment during Covid-19.
Make no mistake, there has certainly been an impact made in Wyoming, and everywhere else in the U.S. for that matter. But of the 50 states, along with Washington D.C. accounting for an added area of distinction (51 total), Wyoming was the 49th most affected by the recent unemployment hike due to Covid-19. Minnesota and Connecticut were the only states finishing below us on that list.
Conversely, that would mean we were the 3rd least affected state last week by the unemployment increase. Since the start of the Covid-19 crisis, we're the 5th least affected state by the unemployment increase. For the month of April, Wyoming has the 5th lowest employment rate at 9.6 percent. Given how low that once was and the fact that we're one of the states that's least affected, that's very telling as to just how bad things are for some others right now.
That is not at all to say that Wyoming hasn't been hit hard by unemployment due to Covid-19, just as it has for every state. In Wyoming, since the start of the Covid-19 crisis, unemployment has increased by 124.5% (that is the increase in April opposed to where we were in January). As it is everywhere, that is a scary number and we're one of the least affected states in the nation.
Hopefully, with restrictions being lifted in regions around the country, we may start to see some light at the end of this tunnel. Stay safe, everyone!

Aside from marital issues an additional common case being handled by most private investigators and private detectives are corporate fraud. Corporate fraud is generally practiced by employees belonging to a particular corporation or even a small organization. This happens when a company employee starts to utilise company procedures to be able to "steal" money or goods from the organization. There are lots of methods on how an employee is able to gain from the organization in a fraudulent manner as well as the sad thing about this really is that the deficit in sales for instance would only be traced or noticed soon after full accounting of stocks and or the financial assets. This would then prompt the firm CEO or CFO to conduct an investigation that would require the hiring of private investigators or private detectives.
Private investigators and private detectives frequently trace or follow the dollars trail by investigating all organization personnel and this would take lots of time. It's thus being advised by private investigators and private detectives to take the needed security precautions as a way to stop employees from committing corporate fraud. One way of stopping this really is by arming oneself with all the expertise on the various techniques that corporate fraud may possibly be undertaken by your staff.
A frequent technique of corporate fraud in grocery store, department stores or any company establishment that needs buy. The cashier could punch-in several items bought by the customer and also the other items had been not entered and go directly into the grocery bags. This basic way of fraud needs collusion with other individuals not known to any of the fraudulent employees' colleagues. The use of an unknown individual could also be used in fraudulent claims of insurance for example fraudulent claim of refunds and even fraudulent claim of benefits.
It truly is because of collusion having a third party that most frauds are accurately executed and discovery of the fraud would prove to be too late. Which is why hiring a private investigator or perhaps a private detective to perform a background check on the claimants for insurance benefits or refunds is required specifically if such claims would amount to thousands of pounds or euros.

Special Meeting and 83nd Annual Meeting of Members Report
SouthEastern Illinois Electric Cooperative held its' 83rd Annual Meeting on Tuesday, August 2, 2022 with approximately 782 members registered and approximately 1,100 in total attendance. For those of you who were unable to attend your Cooperative's annual meeting, this article will summarize the report members received at the annual meeting.
The Cooperative sold approximately 771.8 million kwh in 2021 resulting in an increase of 3.6% from 2020. This slight increase in kilowatt hours sold was primarily due to an increase in large industrial load. Due to the economic conditions, growth in number of consumers was basically flat.
Your Cooperative ended the year 2021 in sound financial condition. As a not-for-profit organization, your Cooperative does not strive to produce profits for shareholders and investors but must maintain a sound financial position for the membership. In 2021, your Cooperative's Board of Trustees approved the retirement and return of $2.0 million of Capital Credits and the capital credit checks were mailed to members in December of 2021. Over the past eleven years, your Cooperative has retired and returned approximately $19.7 million to Cooperative members.
Cooperative members learned that the Midwest is now at great risk of being short on generation capacity to serve energy consumers. Over the past several years, the electric generation industry in the United States has been transitioning to construct more renewable energy resources and retiring fossil fuel generation (primarily coal). There have been many driving forces that have led to coal plant retirements including shifting public and social policy, increasing environment regulations, the aging coal generation fleet and newly discovered shale gas reserves that led to an abundance of low-priced natural gas.
Your Cooperative is part owner of the Generation and Transmission Cooperative named Southern Illinois Power Cooperative (SIPC). SIPC is part of a regional transmission organization here in the Midwest called the Mid-Continent Independent System Operator or MISO for short. MISO is an independent organization, regulated by the Federal Electric Reliability Council, that is responsible for the coordination and control of the transmission network in all or part of 15 states. Although SIPC and other utilities throughout these 15 states own the transmission network, MISO is responsible for the control of this transmission network that delivers energy from generation plants throughout the Midwest.
MISO conducts a generation capacity auction every year in which utilities can purchase additional generation capacity or utilities can sell any excess generation capacity into the market. Over the past 5 years, the price of capacity has ranged from $1.50 up to $10.00 with the price being at $5.00 in the past two years. The most recent generation capacity auction, which captures generation capacity requirements for June 1, 2022 thru May 31, 2023, cleared at a price of $236.66 per MW-Day which equates to a price increase of 4,633%. This drastic increase was due to insufficient generation capacity in the auction needed to meet overall regional load requirements. Fossil fuel generation plants (primarily coal) are retiring without sufficient generation capacity to replace them. This puts the Midwest at an increased risk of running short of needed generation capacity in the summer during peak demand.
Fortunately, your Cooperative power supplier (SIPC) did not have to purchase any generation capacity in this auction due to having sufficient generation capacity that is either owned or under contract. This is just one incredible value that comes with owning your own generation assets. Therefore, your Cooperative will not be incurring any additional generation capacity costs due the most recent auction. Some utilities and organizations that had to purchase additional generation capacity in the auction are announcing significant rate increases beginning this summer.
Cooperative members also learned of the significant increase in cost of fuels to generate electricity. Natural gas surpassed coal as the leading fuel source for energy generation in the United States back in 2016. Over the past few years, the United States has been the world's second largest exporter of natural gas supplying other countries with LNG. With the increased demand for domestic natural gas used to generate electricity, the increased exports of natural gas which has certainly been exacerbated by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the domestic supply of natural gas in not keeping up with demand and the price is increasing to 14-year highs. The use of coal is decreasing domestically but the global demand for coal is still very strong. Countries like China, India and now Germany are either constructing new coal plants or returning to coal generation. This strong global demand for coal is also increasing the price of coal. Therefore, the price of fuels to generate electricity are increasing which is also increasing the price of electricity.
Fortunately, SIPC had contracts in place for coal used to power the Lake of Egypt unit and is currently not paying these higher prices for coal. However, these contracts will expire mid next year and we will be paying higher prices for coal in the future. SIPC's ownership share in the coal plant at Prairie State also includes all the coal required to operate that plant into the foreseeable future in a mine located adjacent to the generation plant. Therefore, this coal plant will not be subject to the increasing market price of coal in the future
In summary, it is extremely important to have reliable fossil fuel generation to meet the demand of energy consumers. During a MISO summer peak hour which occurred on June 21st between 4-5 pm., coal and natural gas delivered 73% of the needed energy to serve consumers while wind and solar only provided 14%. The MISO central region includes parts of Illinois, Missouri, Indiana and Kentucky. During this same peak hour, coal and natural gas delivered 77.3% of the needed energy capacity to the central region while wind and solar combined only provided 9.8%. The vast majority, approximately 75%, of the MISO summer peak demand is supplied by fossil fuel generation plants and it is crucial that these generation plants continue operations in order for energy consumers to have reliable energy capacity.
Lastly, the members were informed that your Cooperative's Board of Trustees approved a retail rate decrease for every Cooperative member that began in January 2021 of approximately 10%. Your Cooperative has continued that rate decrease and currently has no plans to implement a retail rate increase. As we look to the future, SIPC will encounter some increases in the cost of fuels and other commodities to generate electricity but SIPC is committed to do everything possible to limit the increases in the cost to generate your electricity. Your Cooperative was formed 84 years ago to bring electricity to rural areas of southeastern Illinois. The founders of the electric cooperative program developed a unique business structure that by its very nature, makes electric cooperatives very accountable to the members it serves. Your Cooperative is governed by local people that live and work in your very own communities. Your Cooperative is also managed and operated by a group of local employees that also live and work in your very own communities. Your Cooperative is owned by the people it serves and will continue to be an electric cooperative that is truly operated "for the people and by the people."
See you next month and as always, "We'll keep the lights on for you."


As of recently it is possible to run Kindle for PC application via Wine on Linux. I tested it on 64-bit install of Ubuntu 10.10 and put together this step-by-step instructions and a short review. Enjoy!
You will need to install Wine Windows Emulator 1.3.* or higher. Unfortunately, at the time of writing this version is still in the unstable branch and can't be installed through default Ubuntu software repositories. Fortunately, installing the "unstable" branch is quite easy and it is not that unstable. Just type this command in your terminal window and it will all happen automatically. You will only need to accept the EULA for true-type fonts.
Navigate to "Kindle for PC" page in your favorite browser and download the installer.
The app will install and prompt for registration just like it does on Windows.
Overall the app runs and works nicely but with minor quirks. Books download, you can read books, highlight passages and annotate. I couldn't get dictionary lookup to work. On one of the two machines that I've tested the application refused to download dictionary claiming that it is not in my archived items and on the other it froze the entire virtual machine when it attempted the download (could have been a VM issue). But aside from this quirk you can totally read Kindle books on your Linux box. You can also use Google and Wikipedia for definition lookup.
This entry was posted in Kindle For PC and tagged Linux, Ubuntu, Wine by Dzmitry. Bookmark the permalink.
FINALLY! very good news…can't wit to try it out!
The benefit is that should something blows up .wine, the kindle application will still work fine.
Actually, You don't need the terminal to use Kindle for PC in Ubuntu.
You will need to give you password a few times.
How does one "accept the EULA"? I'm clicking "enter" and all sorts of keys but it's just sitting there.
Maybe you have to type "yes" in the terminal.
Actually, the acronym "WINE" stands for "Wine Is Not an Emulator" … :) So saying "Wine Windows Emulator" is a bit of a misnomer, FWIW.
I think they prefer to refer to it as a "Windows Compatibility Layer" — really it's more like a little piece of "glue" to run windows programs in Linux, than a full-fledged emulator. It doesn't have a VM at all, it's actually a bit faster than using a VM by just providing an in-between layer.
Cheers, and thanks for sharing your experience with it.
???????? First time with WINE by the Way .
Regarding WINE freezing when downloading the dictionary — I stumbled on a workaround.
I noticed the same behavior — when the dictionary was downloading, Wine/Kindle App seemed to hang. However, I noticed that if I clicked the "More" pulldown on the bottom right of the "dictionary is downloading" dialog, the progress bar moved from 0% to 3%. Progress stopped when I stopped interacting with the dialog.
install the Chromium web browser, and then add the Kindle Cloud reader to that.
working well in natty with wine 1.3. I followed directions, then just rt. click on my *.mobi's and reading all fine.
I have tried to install the Kindle for PC application on my Ubuntu box, but no success!
Installed Wine 1.3, downloaded the Kindle app and installed it by right clicking and choosing with Wine.
Get an Icon for Kindle (and another one for Kindle ink), but when I try to run it a get an error message about "a serious problem with the program" and am told to contact http://www.appdb.winehq.org – but that site doesn't seem to exist!
Linux is a non-commercial software – there are no guarantees, support or anything of the sort. You get what you pay for. Which in case of linux is free.
however if you really care about this issue, write to Amazon and voice your support for a Linux-specific interface.


our client has given a new packing list format, to be printed after billing. can this output type be configured in V3 (billing). can the logic for smaratform, be taken from invoice? like..weight, quantity.
Since Packing List always contains delivery related informations and moreover, your requirement is only in the print out, I would suggest you to stick to the standard V2 application. In the smart form being used, you can very well add the logic that only after invoice generation, print out can be taken which your ABAPer can do this.
As advised above please follow the steps, better to configure packing list in V2 delivery application.
Development work is needed to ahcive this, discuss the requirement with ABAP team to apply the logic that packing list shold be print after the Billing document creation.

Celtic head to Fir Park on Sunday as 1/3 favourites to defeat Motherwell. But the Hoops just about scraped a point on their last visit to this part of Lanarkshire.
So, what will the latest meeting between this pair throw up?
Goals certainly look likely. Both sides found the net in each of the last two meetings, and our odds make it Evens for Both Teams to Score in this weekend's clash.
One man who tends to make a big impact in this fixture is James Forrest.
The 26-year-old has netted four times in as many meetings with the Steelmen. It's 2/1 for Forrest to Score and Celtic to Win, while he's 8/1 to net two or more goals.
The Well have registered in 10 of their last 12 matches in all competitions. Four of those have come from Craig Tanner. The former Plymouth Argyle man is 14/1 to Score Anytime.
However, while they've generally been good for a goal or two, Motherwell have lost three of their last six league matches. A Hoops Win and BTTS is available at odds of 2/1.
While an away win is likely, the Well aren't a side who lose heavily at home.
They haven't lost any game by more than two goals since February 2017. So even if the visitors win, the Motherwell +3 handicap at 1/3 could come in once again.
As far as lively longshots go, Celtic to Win From Behind is 8/1. Brendan Rodgers' men have trailed and gone on to win in two of their last six league games.
They also came from 2-0 down to win at Fir Park in December 2016.
While the Hoops are 1/3 for maximum points, it's 4/1 for the draw and 9/1 for Motherwell to grab victory.

A hu ge THANK YOU to Children in Need!
"I have to say when I first got told I had a mixture of thoughts but the lowdown of it was I was excited and happy to meet other people with Alström that I hadn't seen since the last clinic the previous year. I'm not a confident rock climber but I think that the weekend had something for everyone of all ages meaning both young people and parents enjoyed it. As I have put above we went rock climbing with a few people getting to the top. Some people did the high ropes which are like a high up rope bridge with bin like tunnels and spider like webs of ropes to get through to the end and back. With the people who did it they were scared at first but by the end they were all trying to do cool tricks with the ropes they had got used to it. We also went on a very muddy walk avoiding golfers that seemed pointless for all the young people who have Alström as I made the point of saying our parents were literally dragging us through the mud to get a nice view, but we enjoyed the nature, mud and collecting of pine cones. We also went on a bouncy castle assault course that ended up being massive fun and creative trying to explore through it and how to muck about. If I had to describe it, the main one was going through a blue or red whole which you had to pull your body through like a worm then go up and under these rungs and then go up a hill that is almost impossible to climb unless you have support on the other side because I admittedly started it and fell off with giggle! You then had to go down a slide and then find these large pillars that are like the brush bit of a toothbrush that you can start walking through but I almost got pushed onto the outside wall and got easily stuck so I find it is best to slide through like a snake through the undergrowth just to get the stomach muscles pumping. The reason I was honoured to write this was to give my top tips on one of the more intimidating activities – zip wiring. It's one of those things you love to hate. I personally don't like it sometimes it's because with the small amount of sight I have there is sometimes a contrast between the strip of wood you're stuck as a statue on and the whiteish gravel covered the ground very far below. Luckily at the weekend, thanks to my colour blindness, it was practically camouflaged. What is really nice is with the experience they had people overseeing the activity so your safety is in good hands. They'll tell you what ropes you can grip onto with your life and what they want you to do at the end. I find once they do this with you the only and best thing you can do is to lean into your harness and with your bent legs, walk to the edge until your feet are about half way off, and when you can feel yourself going with it then go with it. It's all you can do. It makes you feel like you've left your stomach up there even more with the strange jerk near to the end but at the end of the day you do enjoy the thrill of it deep down. This way definitely works because it was the first time this weekend I did it twice. I had a great time with everyone and I looked forward to the next opportunity to seeing other people with Alström".
For many young people and their families the Pioneer Centre weekend and others we have organised have made a real difference to their lives, one Mum said 'I didn't believe it was possible to watch my son whizzing down a zip wire on his own-I now know he can do so much more than I thought!" The project has helped young people to develop their own confidence and speak up for themselves.
Building on the success of this project we are delighted to have received a further 3 years of funding from Children In Need to continue working with young people and families through the transition stage. This means we can continue to support young people with AS through the use of support groups such as 'Hear My Voice' and an ASUK resource called T-KASH (Transition-Knowledge And Skills in Health). T-KASH was developed with young people; it aims to enable young people to feel more confident about their future and build positive relationships with peers and healthcare professionals. For more information about T-KASH and other resources we have developed thanks to Children In Need funding click HERE.


If you have lived in or around Telford for more than twenty five years you are bound to remember the musical fountain in the Chelsea Gardens in the Town Park. The 1980's and early '90s were the heyday of the Chelsea Gardens and the pools and fountains were an essential part of this – particularly the musical fountain which was installed by the Telford Development Corporation to enhance the gardens as part of the programme for entry into the "Entente Florale". This award scheme is a kind of Europe-wide version of the "Britain in Bloom" scheme and the gardens, complete with the musical fountain, enabled the town to win the award in 1990.
Sadly, the musical element did not last long into the 1990s and the fountains themselves finally gave up the ghost about 3 years ago – by which time the gardens themselves were well past their prime. It was at about this time that the Friends of Telford Town Park became actively involved in working in the gardens on a regular basis with a mission to restore them to their former glory as a major feature of the Town Park. With the active support and encouragement of Nicola Allen, the Park Manager, volunteers from the Friends have worked in the gardens on a regular basis, creating a sensory garden as a major new feature and restoring and improving many of the original beds and other features. These improvements clearly played an important part in the decision by Keep Britain Tidy in 2015 and 2016 to give the Park the prestigious Green Flag award.
Meanwhile, despite all these improvements the fountains remained turned off and silent. The ambition has always been to get them working again, complete if possible with the musical feature but this ambition carried a very significant price tag. Estimates made by the council put the cost of restoring the pools and water features at more than £50,000 – not an easy sum to find when other council services are under such severe financial pressure. But we have now heard that the Suez Communities Trust have approved a grant for £49,440 under the Landfill Communities Fund to enable the restoration of two jet fountains (one of which is also lit & musical) in the Chelsea Gardens, and a cascade fountain in the adjacent Maxell Cherry Garden. Work is likely to start within the next few weeks and well before the end of the year we should be able to sit in the gardens and watch the fountain playing in time to the music once again.
The Telford Town Park is now regarded as a great day out for families right across the Midlands and the restoration of these water features can only serve to enhance that position. The friends are proud to have played a major part in enabling this improvement and delighted that our contribution is recognised in the Council press release.

In recent years, the refugee crisis has emerged as a grand societal challenge with a host of economic, social, and political implications. As of 2020 there were around 26 million people registered with the UNHCR as refugees. While refugees are considered by some to be a burden on their host countries, there is growing evidence that they make significant contributions to the economies of their host countries, with rates of entrepreneurship higher than other migrant groups and host country nationals. To take stock of what we know about refugee entrepreneurship, this article undertakes a systematic review of the literature. The systematic review provides insights on themes regarding facilitators and barriers to refugees' entry into entrepreneurship, as well as identifying gaps in our extant knowledge. Based on these gaps, a future research agenda is proposed which targets empirical and theoretical advancement of the field of refugee entrepreneurship.
Keywords: Refugee entrepreneurship, social disadvantage theory, mixed embeddedness theory.

Q: Populating Select Options .. angularjs I am trying to populate an array that will be used to generate select options.
Basically for each button when first pressed it should add a row, when the button is pressed again it should add to the dropdown list another number. For instance if tile>living room is pressed 3 times you should have a row in the table with  td - tile living room /td td - select options 1 ,2 3> /td
Right now the buttons add the row but I cannot figure out how to add to the drop down lists.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Nicola Strong
Head of Communications and Marketing
Joining Racing Welfare in 2021 as Head of Communications and Marketing has given me the opportunity to combine three elements I am passionate about; the charity sector, communications and racing.
I have previously worked as Head of Communications for Prior's Court – a charity providing 52 week residential care and education for young people with severe autism. Prior to that, I spent 9 years in communications at Macmillan Cancer Support, working closely with Services, Fundraising and campaigns teams across Central and South West England.
I've grown up riding ponies from a young age and have always been a regular racegoer. Closely following the sport gave me the bug for Thoroughbreds and when I came home from Uni I bought my first ex-racehorse. Since then, I've bought and retrained a number of ex-racehorses, which I've taken British Eventing, British Showjumping and tolerated the odd bit of dressage!
In a freelance capacity, I spent five years as a press officer for the Hickstead Derby and Royal Internal Horse Shows and have written feature stories and event reports for various online and print media. Highlights have included reporting from Badminton Horse Trials and interviewing the GBR eventing team ahead of the World Equestrian Games.
The support that Racing Welfare provides is unparalleled across other equestrian sports and is a huge and valuable asset to the industry. I'm proud to join an incredibly dedicated and knowledgeable team, where I can be a part of the charity's continued growth so that we can provide even more vital support to racing's workforce.

Q: Express the triple integral three different ways I need to rewrite the integrals like $dx\,dy\,dz$, $dy\,dz\,dx$, and $dz\,dx\,dy$ of the solid bounded by $$x=2, y=2, z=0, x+y-2z=2$$
I do not fully understand how to rewrite the integral different ways by changing the limits. If someone could help me out, that would be superb!

A: Your question is fairly general.  What you should understand is that integrals like
$$
\int \int \int \cdots\cdots\cdots dx\,dy\,dz
$$
are nested, i.e. the notation above should be read as
$$
\int \left(\int \left(\int \cdots\cdots\cdots dx\right)\,dy\right)\,dz.
$$
So suppose the outer integral is $\displaystyle\int_a^b \cdots\cdots\,dz$.  Then the one immediately inside it can be
$$
\int_{a(z)}^{b(z)} \cdots\cdots\,dy
$$
i.e. the bounds of integration can depend on $z$.
In the outer integral, the variable $z$ runs from $a$ to $b$, and for any fixed value of $z$ between $a$ and $b$.  Then in the next integral inside it, for any fixed value of $z$ between $a$ and $b$, the variable $y$ runs from something that may depend on $z$ to something else that may depend on $z$.  Then for the next integral inside that, the variable $x$ runs from something that may depend on both $z$ and $y$ to something else that may depend on both $z$ and $y$.
Now look at the triangle bound by the $x$-axis, the $y$-axis, and the line $x+(y/2)=1$.  That last equation $x+y=1$, can be written as $x=1-(y/2)$ or as $y=2-2x$.  To integrate over the triangle, draw the picture and see the three vertices at $(0,0)$, $(1,0)$, and $(0,2)$.  Notice that $x$ can run from $0$ to $1$, but given some fixed value of $x$ between $0$ and $1$, the other variable $y$ can run only from $0$ to $2-2x$.  Thus we have
$$
\int_0^1 \int_0^{2-2x} \cdots\cdots dy\,dx.
$$
But we could also say $y$ runs from $0$ to $2$, and then for any fixed value of $y$ between $0$ and $2$, the other variable $x$ runs from $0$ to $1-(y/2)$.  So we have
$$
\int_0^2 \int_0^{1-(y/2)} \cdots\cdots  dx\,dy.
$$
Both integrals should evaluate to the same number.  But in some cases one integral is easy to evaluate directly and the other is not.  Thus if you have the one that's not, you transform it into the one that is.

Summary : Based on historical events, this unforgettable and inspiring tale for middle-grade readers is about a young boy torn from the only life he's ever known and held captive as a prisoner of war. In 1982, twelve-year-old Reza has no interest in joining Iran's war effort against Iraq. But in the wake of a tragedy and at his mother's urging, he decides to enlist, assured by the authorities that he will achieve paradise should he die in service to his country. War does not bring the glory the boys of Iran have been promised, and Reza soon finds himself held in a prisoner-of-war camp in Iraq, where the guards not only threaten violence—they act upon it. Will Reza make it out alive? And if he does, will he even have a home to return to? Friendship, heartbreak, and Reza's very survival are at stake as he finds solace through music and forges his own path—wherever that might take him.
J M Barrie and the Lost Boys
Author : Andrew Birkin
Summary : This literary biography is "a story of obsession and the search for pure childhood . . . Moving, charming, a revelation" (Los Angeles Times). J. M. Barrie, Victorian novelist, playwright, and author of Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, led a life almost as interesting as his famous creation. Childless in his marriage, Barrie grew close to the five young boys of the Davies family, ultimately becoming their guardian and surrogate father when they were orphaned. Andrew Birkin draws extensively on a vast range of material by and about Barrie, including notebooks, memoirs, and hours of recorded interviews with the family and their circle, to describe Barrie's life, the tragedies that shaped him, and the wonderful world of imagination he created for the boys. Updated with a new preface and including photos and illustrations, this "absolutely gripping" read reveals the dramatic story behind one of the classics of children's literature (Evening Standard). "A psychological thriller . . . One of the year's most complex and absorbing biographies." —Time "[A] fascinating story." —The Washington Post
Author : James Garbarino
Release Date :2000

Summary : "Recounts the case of The People vs. Herman Swift, a story which ran on front pages of newspapers throughout Michigan for three years in the early 20th century. It is one of the most sensational cases to ever go to the Michigan Supreme Court and was reviewed on appeal by famous Michigan governors, Chase Osborn and Nathaniel Ferris. The story revolves around the complex, tragic figure of Herman Swift, his efforts to provide a home and guidance to orphaned and cast out boys, and a resulting scandal which gripped Michigan for years"--P. [4] of cover.
Lost Boys of Anzac
Author : Peter Stanley
Summary : Australians remember the dead of 25 April 1915 on Anzac Day every year. But do we know the name of a single soldier who died that day? What do we really know about the men supposedly most cherished in the national memory of war? Peter Stanley goes looking for the Lost Boys of Anzac: the men of the very first wave to land at dawn on 25 April 1915 and who died on that day. There were exactly 101 of them. They were the first to volunteer, the first to go into action, and the first of the 60,000 Australians killed in that conflict. Lost Boys of Anzac traces who these men were, where they came from and why they came to volunteer for the AIF in 1914. It follows what happened to them in uniform and, using sources overlooked for nearly a century, uncovers where and how they died, on the ridges and gullies of Gallipoli – where most of them remain to this day. And we see how the Lost Boys were remembered by those who knew and loved them, and how they have since faded from memory.
The Lost Boys of Sudan
Author : Mark Bixler
Summary : In 2000 the United States began accepting 3,800 refugees from one of Africa's longest civil wars. They were just some of the thousands of young men, known as "Lost Boys," who had been orphaned or otherwise separated from their families in the chaos of a brutal conflict that has ravaged their home country of Sudan since 1983. [This book] focuses on four of these refugees. Theirs, however, is a typical story, one that repeated itself wherever the Lost Boys were found across America. It is a story of the countless challenges of "making it" in a strange new place after years on the run in Sudan or in refugee camps in Kenya and Ethiopia.... As we immerse ourselves in the Lost Boys' daily lives, we also get to know the social services professionals and volunteers, celebrities, community leaders, and others who guided them - with occasional detours - toward self-sufficiency. Along the way, [the author] looks closely at the ins and outs of U.S. refugee policy, the politics of international aid, the history of Sudan, and the radical Islamist underpinnings of its government. -Dust jacket.
Lost Boy
Author : Christina Henry
Summary : From the national bestselling author of Alice comes a familiar story with a dark hook—a tale about Peter Pan and the friend who became his nemesis, a nemesis who may not be the blackhearted villain Peter says he is… There is one version of my story that everyone knows. And then there is the truth. This is how it happened. How I went from being Peter Pan's first—and favorite—lost boy to his greatest enemy. Peter brought me to his island because there were no rules and no grownups to make us mind. He brought boys from the Other Place to join in the fun, but Peter's idea of fun is sharper than a pirate's sword. Because it's never been all fun and games on the island. Our neighbors are pirates and monsters. Our toys are knife and stick and rock—the kinds of playthings that bite. Peter promised we would all be young and happy forever. Peter lies. From the Trade Paperback edition.
Author : Tim Potter

Lost Boys of the Bronx
Author : James Hannon
Summary : Richard Price, Academy Award nominated screenwriter and mainstream author of The Wanderers says, "I read through [Lost Boys of the Bronx] in one sitting - It was GREAT!" Straight from the streets of the mid-1960s Bronx comes a book about one of the borough's most feared gangs - The Ducky Boys. While their unusual name alone might contradict their reputation, in the Norwood/Bainbridge section of the Bronx their appearances provoked an ominous dread. So much so, that when Richard Price needed inspiration for a terrifying gang in his novel (and later movie) The Wanderers, he knew exactly which gang to choose. Lost Boys of the Bronx tells the story of the Ducky Boys in their own words. It is a story of how a few pre-teen kids in the Botanical Gardens turned into a gang of hundreds - and a gang so alarming that rumors of their arrival would shut down local schools. This is also a study of the mostly Irish Bronx neighborhood in which the Ducky Boys were born, and where so many of the Ducky kids got caught up in the tumultuous times of the '60s where their fierce loyalty was the only thing that got them through. This is not your typical gang book. It neither praises nor demonizes the gang for the things they did, but rather simply reports what happened - warts and all. You'll see the truth behind the Ducky Boys' gang - their lives, their loves, their pranks and crimes, and so much more. To borrow from a particular product's slogan - with a name like the Ducky Boys, you knew they HAD to be tough.
The Lost Boys of Zeta Psi
Author : Laurie A. Wilkie
Summary : "Laurie Wilkie is making an important statement about the culture of fraternities, saving them from uncritical celebration on the one hand and the '"Animal House"' image on the other. She has given us a fascinating case study in the value and importance of the archaeology of the recent past."--Matthew Johnson, author of "Ideas of Landscape" "A fresh look at fraternity life, offering a nuanced view of its social benefits and shortcomings. This is an insightful and innovative interdisciplinary contribution to the emergent field of contemporary archaeology as well as to masculinity studies."--Mary Beaudry, author of "Findings: The Material Culture of Needlework and Sewing"
The Lost Boys Symphony
Author : Mark Ferguson
Summary : A STARTLINGLY ORIGINAL, GENRE-BENDING LITERARY DEBUT IN WHICH A LOVESICK COLLEGE STUDENT IS ABDUCTED BY HIS FUTURE SELVES. After Henry's girlfriend Val leaves him and transfers to another school, his grief begins to manifest itself in bizarre and horrifying ways. Cause and effect, once so reliable, no longer appear to be related in any recognizable manner. Either he's hallucinating, or the strength of his heartbreak over Val has unhinged reality itself. After weeks of sleepless nights and sick delusions, Henry decides to run away. If he can only find Val, he thinks, everything will make sense again. So he leaves his mother's home in the suburbs and marches toward the city and the woman who he thinks will save him. Once on the George Washington Bridge, however, a powerful hallucination knocks him out cold. When he awakens, he finds himself kidnapped by two strangers--one old, one middle-aged--who claim to be future versions of Henry himself. Val is the love of your life, they tell him. We've lost her, but you don't have to. In the meantime, Henry's best friend Gabe is on the verge of breakdown of his own. Convinced he is somehow to blame for Henry's deterioration and eventual disappearance, Gabe is consumed by a potent mix of guilt and sadness. When he is approached by an enigmatic stranger who bears a striking resemblance to his lost friend, Gabe begins to fear for his own sanity. With nowhere else to turn, he reaches out to the only person who can possibly help him make sense of it all: Val. The Lost Boys Symphony is a beautiful reminder of what it's like to be young, lost, and in and out of love for the very first time. By turns heartfelt and heartbreaking, Ferguson's debut novel boldly announces the arrival of a spellbinding new talent on the literary stage, in a master feat of empathy and multilayered storytelling that takes adventurous literary fiction to dizzying new heights.

Lost Boy No More

Summary : Lost Boys Of Sudan.
Wendy and the Lost Boys
Author : Julie Salamon
Summary : The authorized biography of Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Wendy Wasserstein. In Wendy and the Lost Boys bestselling author Julie Salamon explores the life of playwright Wendy Wasserstein's most expertly crafted character: herself. The first woman playwright to win a Tony Award, Wendy Wasserstein was a Broadway titan. But with her high- pitched giggle and unkempt curls, she projected an image of warmth and familiarity. Everyone knew Wendy Wasserstein. Or thought they did. Born on October 18, 1950, in Brooklyn, New York, to Polish Jewish immigrant parents, Wendy was the youngest of Lola and Morris Wasserstein's five children. Lola had big dreams for her children. They didn't disappoint: Sandra, Wendy's glamorous sister, became a high- ranking corporate executive at a time when Fortune 500 companies were an impenetrable boys club. Their brother Bruce became a billionaire superstar of the investment banking world. Yet behind the family's remarkable success was a fiercely guarded world of private tragedies. Wendy perfected the family art of secrecy while cultivating a densely populated inner circle. Her friends included theater elite such as playwright Christopher Durang, Lincoln Center Artistic Director André Bishop, former New York Times theater critic Frank Rich, and countless others. And still almost no one knew that Wendy was pregnant when, at age forty-eight, she was rushed to Mount Sinai Hospital to deliver Lucy Jane three months premature. The paternity of her daughter remains a mystery. At the time of Wendy's tragically early death less than six years later, very few were aware that she was gravely ill. The cherished confidante to so many, Wendy privately endured her greatest heartbreaks alone. In Wendy and the Lost Boys, Salamon assembles the fractured pieces, revealing Wendy in full. Though she lived an uncommon life, she spoke to a generation of women during an era of vast change. Revisiting Wendy's works-The Heidi Chronicles and others-we see Wendy in the free space of the theater, where her many selves all found voice. Here Wendy spoke in the most intimate of terms about everything that matters most: family and love, dreams and devastation. And that is the Wendy of Neverland, the Wendy who will never grow old.
Lost Boy, Lost Girl
Author : John Bul Dau
Summary : One of thousands of children who fled strife in southern Sudan, John Bul Dau survived hunger, exhaustion, and violence. His wife, Martha, endured similar hardships. In this memorable book, the two convey the best of African values while relating searing accounts of famine and war. There's warmth as well, in their humorous tales of adapting to American life. For its importance as a primary source, for its inclusion of the rarely told female perspective of Sudan's lost children, for its celebration of human resilience, this is the perfect story to inform and inspire young readers.
Survival of the Fittest and How the Lost Boy Survived It All
Author : Mator Adol Mawien
Summary : Since 1983, Sudan has been the epicenter of a horrific conflict. Battles between northern Sudan's government forces and the southern Sudanese People's Liberation Army have left scars and ethnic divisions too numerous for world media to cover. Each day, thousands of refugees escape to neighboring regions. Mass killings, torture, and rape are common practice within and around the borders. Survival of the Fittest is not only the story of Mator Adol-Mawien's survival but his relentless drive to find freedom from his captors and justice for his people. Malek Tor, a wise man known for his predictions in my Dinka village, predicted my birth. He said my parents' fourth born would be a boy, and they were to name him Mator. It means dust storm, wind storm, and tornado in the Dinka language. It would not be long before he was proven correct. I was the throne-holder for my family, a future king, and I was treated very well. All who entered my kingdom knew that I had a big heart and followed in my father's greatness. But when the northern army entered my village with the intent to kill and destroy, escaping Sudan became the only option for my survival. I was only nine years old when SPLA soldiers rescued me from my village, telling me that they wanted to make sure my village was safe before they would reunite me with my family. Thousands of miles later, I realized they lied. The civil war killed many in my village, including my father and other family members. Many of my friends either died or found themselves torn from their families, as I had been.
Not Just Child's Play
Author : Felicia R. McMahon
Summary : A study of one group of Sudanese refugees and their efforts to hold on to their traditions
Author : Brent W. Jeffs,Maia Szalavitz
Summary : In the polygamous Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (FLDS), girls can become valuable property as plural wives, but boys are expendable, even a liability. In this powerful and heartbreaking account, former FLDS member Brent Jeffs reveals both the terror and the love he experienced growing up on his prophet's compound—and the harsh exile existence that so many boys face once they have been expelled by the sect. Brent Jeffs is the nephew of Warren Jeffs, the imprisoned leader of the FLDS. The son of a prominent family in the church, Brent could have grown up to have multiple wives of his own and significant power in the 10,000-strong community. But he knew that behind the group's pious public image—women in chaste dresses carrying babies on their hips—lay a much darker reality. So he walked away, and was the first to file a sexual-abuse lawsuit against his uncle. Now Brent shares his courageous story and that of many other young men who have become "lost boys" when they leave the FLDS, either by choice or by expulsion. Brent experienced firsthand the absolute power that church leaders wield—the kind of power that corrupts and perverts those who will do anything to maintain it. Once young men no longer belong to the church, they are cast out into a world for which they are utterly unprepared. More often than not, they succumb to the temptations of alcohol and other drugs. Tragically, Brent lost two of his brothers in this struggle, one to suicide, the other to overdose. In this book he shows that lost boys can triumph and that abuse and trauma can be overcome, and he hopes that readers will be inspired to help former FLDS members find their way in the world.

We are going to list cloud security threats of the year 2018 in this post. The purpose of delivering this information is – aware readers with trending cybercrime. So that they keep these Cyber threats in mind & create their mindset accordingly to secure valuable business content.
Cloud security is a broad set of standards, controls, and technologies, which are used to secure information, apps, and established architecture of cloud computing. One can consider it a sub-domain part of network security, computer security, and information security in a broader manner. It is certainly possible to store and maintain personal and organizational information on the cloud servers but, cybercrime is increasing in which major target is the web server. Enterprises and users are migrating their work online to access their IT resources from any corner of the world. It is a prediction made by Gartner that 92% of the workload will be processed by cloud information centers till the year 2020.
Important Tip – Individuals should be known with Cyber threats that have recently occurred worldwide. It is recommended because this helps a person in designing a strong and tight cloud security infrastructure, which cannot be broken by internet criminals.
Data Breach Incidents – There are two major causes due to which data breach incidents occur – Human unintentional mistakes while working online, and the company on primary target of hackers. Apart from both, application vulnerabilities or poor cloud security standards can also be the reason due to which this Cyber threat occurs. It may include any sort of data like personal health data, PII, financial information, intellectual property, and trade secrets, which was not aimed for public exposure. This kind of incident in CyberWorld is not unique but, its counting is increasing year after year. For example – 2017 was considered as a big year for data leakages. Around 143 million of normal users were affected by the September's Equifax breach and then, in May 2017, OneLogin faced major Cyber threat.
Sudden Information Loss – Data stored online can be lost suddenly because of the reasons other than malicious threats. Unintentional deletion of data by cloud service vendor, or a physical tragedy like flood, earthquake, or fire, can result in permanent loss of clients' data. If the service provider or its consumers don't have a data backup, it is really a terrific data loss incident. Challenges to online content do not seem like malicious issues in shadows covered with hoodies. It is simple to underestimate the risk of something unexpected to happen with your information because of your own mistake while working on the internet. Keep one thing in mind that the cloud is a virtual platform where one doesn't know the exact location of data storage. Therefore, maintain backups at physical locations at different geographic paths.
Internal Security Threats – Insider attacks to the cloud security are underestimated. Most of the officials in a company are trustworthy, but an employee with dangerous intention in mind is the biggest threat for organization. This employee has access to those business contents, which might be hard to acquire by the outside hackers. When an enterprise makes the decision of storing information or hosting applications on public cloud, it loses the power of physical data access where information has been hosted. As an outcome of this, potentially confidential information is at high risk from internal attackers. As per the report was given by CSA, internal threats are 6th biggest cloud security threats. Therefore, it is the duty of cloud service vendors to ensure that in-depth background checks are organized for their officials who are allowed with access of physical storage servers in data centers.
Meltdown, Spectre, and Others – Intel processors have a meltdown while ARM and AMD had been threatened by Spectre. Do you think the James Bond villain make our PCs freak out? No not at all! It is a new vulnerability addressed within all these processors, which shows their impact on Linux, Mac, Windows PCs, and also on Android smartphones. System vulnerabilities are the exploitable issues in applications, which hackers utilize to infiltrate PC for data stealing, acquiring control of targeted system, or interrupt the processing service operations. If you remember, last year there used to be lots of news regarding Meltdown and Spectre. Both of these cloud security threats were exposing data in every aspect from desktops and servers to tablets and smartphones. Therefore, enterprises have to strengthen their security with meltdown and specter prevention measures. Ignorance of these measures might result in a hazardous situation.
We know that manual enforcement of cloud security standards is a complicated and tough task. Hence to make things simpler, CloudCodes team came with an automated CASB solution software. It comprises of all the online data protection approaches that are needed to have while working on web securely. Security will become easier to handle with CloudCodes because it offers a consolidated platform where all security procedures are designed in a systematic manner. If one wants to concentrate more on their business growth instead of getting into the cloud security hassles, CloudCodes is suitable for them!

Q: How to map Frame coordinates to Overlay in vision I'm feeling that this Question is already solved many times, but I cannot figure it out. I was basically following this little Tutorial about mobile vision and completed it. After that I tried to detect Objects myself starting with a ColorBlob and drawing its borders.
The idea is to start in the middle of the frame (holding the object in the middle of the camera on purpose) and detecting the edges of that object by its color. It works as long as I hold the phone in landscape mode (Frame.ROTATION_0). As soon as I'm in Portrait mode (Frame.Rotation_90) the bounding Rect gets drawn rotated, so an object with more height gets drawn with more width, and also a bit off.
The docs say that a detector always delivers coords to an unrotated upright frame, so how am I supposed to calculate the bounding rectangle coords relative to its rotation?
I don't think it matters much, but here is how I find the color Rect
public Rect getBounds(Frame frame){
  int w = frame.getMetadata().getWidth();
  int h = frame.getMetadata().getHeight();
  int scale = 50;
  int scaleX = w / scale;
  int scaleY = h / scale;
  int midX = w / 2;
  int midY = h / 2;
  float ratio = 10.0
  Rect mBoundary = new Rect();
  float[] hsv = new float[3];
  Bitmap bmp = frame.getBitmap();
  int px = bmp.getPixel(midX, midY);
  Color.colorToHSV(px, hsv);
  Log.d(TAG, "detect: mid hsv: " + hsv[0] + ", " + hsv[1] + ", " + hsv[2]);
  float hue = hsv[0];
  float nhue;
  int x, y;
  for (x = midX + scaleX; x < w; x+=scaleX){
      px = bmp.getPixel(x, midY);
      Color.colorToHSV(px, hsv);
      nhue = hsv[0];
      if (nhue <= (hue + ratio) && nhue >= (hue - ratio)){
          mBoundary.right = x
      } else {
          break;
      }
  }

  for (x = midX - scaleX; x >= 0; x-= scaleX){
      px = bmp.getPixel(x, midY);
      Color.colorToHSV(px, hsv);
      nhue = hsv[0];
      if (nhue <= (hue + ratio) && nhue >= (hue - ratio)){
          mBoundary.left = x
      } else {
          break;
      }
  }

  for (y = midY + scaleY; y < h; y+=scaleY){
      px = bmp.getPixel(midX, y);
      Color.colorToHSV(px, hsv);
      nhue = hsv[0];
      if (nhue <= (hue + ratio) && nhue >= (hue - ratio)){
          mBoundary.bottom = y;
      } else {
          break;
      }
  }

  for (y = midY - scaleY; y >= 0; y-=scaleY){
      px = bmp.getPixel(midX, y);
      Color.colorToHSV(px, hsv);
      nhue = hsv[0];
      if (nhue <= (hue + ratio) && nhue >= (hue - ratio)){
          mBoundary.top = y
      } else {
          break;
      }
  }
  return mBoundary;
}

Then I simply draw it in the GraphicOverlay.Graphics draw method on the canvas. I already use the transformX/Y methods on the Graphic and thought, that it will also account for the rotation.
I also use the CameraSource and CameraSourcePreview class provided from the samples.


Once there was a summer house for a plantation in Lower Richland County. The main house, like others, was destroyed in the Civil War, but the sumer house remained in the family for generations. However, times got tough, and it got sold around 1950. Fast forward 45 years. Along comes a couple looking for a place to raise kids in the country, and the old house the wife's dad remembers is up for sale—that's him on the bottom step second in from the right. Fast forward another 15 years and hire an architect. After exploring renovation options six ways from Sunday, he suggests that maybe the best way forward is to turn back the clock and rebuild the front porches, which the intervening owners had seen fit to remove. So, after analyzing old family photos and building scars for design clues, reconstruction is now imminent.

Outlaw: The Story of Joe Flick
Ben Hall the Bushranger
Bringing Australia's History to Life
"Bushranger" is a uniquely Australian term for the lawless characters who roamed the fringes of civilised districts seeking out easy money through robbery and violence. The word was first used in the Sydney Gazette in 1805, referring to a wild assortment of escaped convicts, deserters from the military and disillusioned free immigrants; full-bearded, dirty, and afraid of nothing.
The gold rushes of the 1850s saw the heyday of these bushrangers, but they had pretty much disappeared by the late 1880s as better police tactics, technology and burgeoning population made it harder for them to hide out in the bush for the long periods necessary.
The most famous bushranger was certainly Ned Kelly, but Captain Thunderbolt, John Gilbert, and Frank Gardiner are still well-known. Most interesting of them all, perhaps, was Ben Hall, who became a bushranger for reasons of passion, not lust for wealth or an easy life.
Ben was working as a stockman just out of Forbes, New South Wales. He was strong, reliable and honest. He had no time for bushrangers or lawlessness of any sort, and soon saved enough money to buy a small place of his own.
He married a local girl called Bridget in 1856, but she proved not to return Ben's steadfast love and loyalty. Falling in love with a flash young stockman, she took hers and Ben's child to be with her lover. Ben was heartbroken, but that wasn't the end of it. When she was seduced and bedded by a policeman Ben swore vengeance on that "trap" and all his kind. Ben Hall took to the bush he knew so well, the remote Wedden Mountains, and became one of the most feared men of his generation.
Despite this reputation, he robbed only from the rich, mainly mail coaches with their rich burden of gold. According to folklore Ben Hall never killed a man, right up to that fateful day in 1865, when police found him alone at his campsite at Billabong Creek.
According to the testimony of one of the policemen in the party that killed Ben Hall, Sub-inspector James Henry Davidson:
I levelled a double-barrelled gun and fired one shot. I believe I hit him, for he halted and looked back. Sergeant Condell and Billy then fired. I think they both hit him; we fired pretty close together.
Condell and Billy were running a little in my rear, about fifteen yards to my left; Hall ran about sixty yards to a few saplings, and caught hold of one. I think he was then mortally wounded. The four constables and tracker then came across. I think Hall saw them coming, for he changed his course; they fired; I was then within thirty yards, when Hipkiss fired his revolving rifle.
I noticed Hall's revolver belt fall to the ground. Hall, still holding to the sapling, gradually fell back; altogether, thirty shots were fired. Several were fired after Hipkiss fired; I fancy he was shot in the head after that. He spoke afterwards. He said, "I'm wounded, shoot me dead.
When they carried Ben Hall's corpse into Forbes he had nine bullet wounds, four of which might have been fatal.

"Michelle conducts a very professional program that I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to be more persuasive in their presentations, and in their life. I loved Michelle's passion and commitment, learning about stage crafting, seeing real demonstrations and participating in active learning techniques. I got a tremendous amount of value from this program.
I loved the energy and passion, the frameworks, 13 steps and how to have stage presence. Brilliant. Loved it!
I was fortunate to have been trained and coached by Michelle in Board Level Presentation skills. She is clearly an expert in this field and the guidance she provided was clear, concise, and filled with lots of relevant anecdotes. Highly recommended.
Michelle is an outstanding Advanced Influencing and Presentation Skills facilitator. I had the pleasure of attending one of her 2 day workshops and this has had a profound and measurable impact on my ability to present with confidence as well as being able to structure my presentation to maximise its outcomes.
I thoroughly recommend this course to business leaders as well as to staff involved in giving presentations.. Michelle presents an incredibly well strucured program that provides outstanding results for all participants. Five Star rating!!!!
Michelle is the master of creating messages that stick. The most influential presentation skills expert I have ever seen. Her passion for her work is evident in the high energy and enthusiasm she puts into every speaking engagement, seminar and training program. The depth of knowledge and understanding she has on how to make a great presentation absolutely awesome is simply amazing. If you want to be the leading presenter in your field, be sure to engage Australia's leading presentation skills expert. She is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!
Michelle Bowden would easily be one of the top Presentation Skills Trainers in Australia. She seems to have a limitless number of practical tips, tools and techniques that work! You will find that working with Michelle is energising, entertaining and highly rewarding.
In the past 5 years I have been inspired and encouraged by Michelle during 3 Presentation Skills training courses. What she teaches and demonstrates has given me the ability to communicate to audiences of 10 to 500 people all over the world. If ever you have a chance to be taught by Michelle, grab it with both hands... and yes Michelle, "They loved my guts..."
I just saw Michelle speak to a large Audience for the first time. Wow! She really does practice what she preaches. You learn by just watching Michelle's engaging keynote. The main lesson is to present with your whole self. Michelle leaves nothing behind - you see 'all of her' when she presents.
I first met Michelle when I was working for Compuware Australia in North Ryde. I attended a course that she ran at our offices. I had a problem selecting from the Attributes listed here in Linkedin as I was only allowed to choose 3. Not enough to describe how I found her work.
Michelle certainly knows her subjects and is one of the best communicators I've come across in my many years of attending various courses and workshops. She brings a down-to-earth and personable light to any room she presents to, as well as being able to deliver a very clear message on the subject at hand.
One of the things I respect highly, is a presenter who is not so blinkered in their message and approach that they can't hear the real questions that are being asked. Michelle has the knack to push aside the words of a question, when needed, to get to the real concern of query. Her intuitiveness when delivering her presentations as to the direction that the present needs are pushing to go, gives her an edge that has the learning be real and timely.
I wholeheartedly recommend Michelle without reservations.
Michelle is a vibrant presenter with clear message and helpful practical hints. Presentation skills are her forte and she demonstrates them ably.
Michelle runs a fantastic coaching business that helped me tremendously!
She is skilled, funny, entertaining and before you know it you are out there convincing the world of whatever it is you need to convince them!!
Michelle Bowden is simply brilliant! She is knowledgeable, serious, and passionate about her work. Her programs are awesome. They've helped me a great deal in both business and non-business dealings. I'd highly recommend Michelle and her work to anyone who wants to improve their presentation and communication skills.
Michelle, trained us in Optus on how to prepare, and action presentations, but it was much more than that. She showed us how to be confident in our delivery, tips on making an effective presentation that delivers your views and points, clearly and directly, while enjoying the moment. I recommend her highly, she was very bright, bubbly, fun, and her classes were very enjoyable and educational. She is very creative, confident and knowledgeable in her area..
OMG! I have just finished the best presentation skills two day workshop I have ever done - and I have done 5!
Michelle Bowden is simply a star maker! She can turn coal into a diamond and I am so impressed.
Her Influential Presentation Skills is an awesome mix of theory and practical. The 13 steps she goes through are logical and powerful. So the subject matter is outstanding.
The real impact is her teaching style. She had a beautiful manner and keeps everything light, up beat and full of energy. You never look at your watch and you never feel self conscious.
If you have to do any type of presentation, this course is a deadset must!
"I attended a Public Speaking workshop earlier this year with Michelle Bowden. I have done many speaking engagements and thought myself a pretty good speaker. After spending three days with Michelle and reading her books my public speaking has improved immensely. I am now more confident and have used her skills and tips and the results have paid off. I recommend anyone who wants to improve their public speaking to contact Michelle.
I thought I was a reasonable public speaker until I met Michelle. I soon found out that I was pretty average. But under Michelle's direction and coaching I am told I became very effective at public speaking. I became confifdent, aware of my topic, aware of my audience. Michelle was especially brilliant for those special occasions when you had to deliver a key note speech to hundreds of people. If you need to speak in public and you want to be outstanding , get Michelle involved.
Michelle is an outstanding professional. I have no hesitation in recommending her to all my business colleagues; I already have many times.
Michelle's presentations and influencing skills workshop is challenging, fun, logical and totally engaging. The outcome is an easy to follow; easy to remember guide for any presentation or important meeting. It provides a model for enhancing your communications skills to influence at any level. Michelle's generous with her knowledge, thoughtful with her feedback and able to adapt for individual development needs.
As a manager, I found this course to be a fabulous team building opportunity too.
Whether you are a teenager, manager or CEO your presenting, communicating and influencing will be enhanced by attending Michelle's courses.
I know hundreds (thousands) of speakers around Australia, and WHENEVER I get asked to recommend some on 'Presentation Skills' I immediately think of & recommend Michelle. She is brilliant, funny and if you've seen her smile, you will know how enjoyable it is to work with her. If you want anything to do with 'presentation training' just go straight to Michelle.
I would recommend to anyone who really wants to develop their career by improving their presentation skills to connect with Michelle.
I wouldn't be in my position if I hadn't invested my money and time attending Michell's workshops.

The girls last night saw Mary Poppins and her umbrella fly over the rooftops and land on the stage of the Capitol Theatre. Bert, Jane, Michael and Mary danced with the chimney sweeps, had tea on the ceiling, jumped into the world of toys, and flew kites. A supercalafragilistic time was had by all.
Who created these enduring characters? Perhaps someone who grew up with a string of horrible nannies and distant parents and dreamed of a better life? Surely a Londoner who had daily contact with the upstairs/downstairs world and was familiar with cockney life?
Or was Mary Poppins created by a team of writers from the Disney Studios to showcase young talents Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyck?
Would you believe that the entire world of Number 17 Cherry Tree Lane was created by a girl from Maryborough in rural Queensland?
PJ Travers was the JK Rowling of her time, and like her creation Mary Poppins, even when famous, she 'never told anybody anything'.
Travers was born in 1899 as Helen Coff, in Maryborough, where her father Travers worked in a bank. he was born in London, but had Irish connections, which meant that he considered himself a romantic poet and drank too much. He and his eldest daughter would sit at night and make up stories about the stars.
He died when she was seven, and the family moved to Bowral, supported by a very strict great aunt. I wonder if she met a young Don Bradman, 9 years her junior?
She had a brief career as a dancer and actress, then as a poet and journalist. In 1924, aged 25, she left Australia and travelled to England to seek her fortune. She never returned.
Mary Poppins was published in 1934. Another seven books about her adventures were published subsequently, the last in 1988!
It was the Disney movie of 1964 that brought her fame and fortune. Ironically, she hated it, and refused to give Disney permission to use her character again.
Pamela Travers died in London in 1996, aged 97.

Alpha Home Improvements London Ltd based in ST. ALBANS Hertfordshire. Once you substitute the home windows in your home and have new double glazed items installed, you will really notice the difference. Condensation might be decreased, the house will feel warmer, and it will likely be loads quieter.
What you shouldn't do is neglect the doors. It is smart to get your doors replaced concurrently the windows. This will probably be less upheaval for you and you could even be able to negotiate discounts if all the pieces is being done together.
If you substitute your doorways with new double glazed ones, you will be making your property safer, you will discover a distinction in warmth and noise ranges and you might also be adding value to your property.
uPVC double glazed front doors at the moment are available in all kinds of types and even in wooden impact finish. You can choose the size and shape of glass panel, and even if it has any stained glass effects. You will also have the ability to choose from a range of door furniture (handles, letter field and so forth) to finish the new search for your home. You can also find side panels for entrance doorways, and even porches out there in a wide variety of styles. Alpha Home Improvements London Ltd are double glazing specialists.
Again doors are also accessible as uPVC double glazed items. Again there's a variety of styles, with toughened glass that makes them rather more secure than older style again doors. And if you don't need a traditional model again door then why not consider a secure door. These are doorways where the top and backside can shut and lock independently of every other. They're a great option in case you have children or animals that you don't wish to escape, but you still wish to let some fresh air in.
French doorways, which usually open out onto a balcony or garden, can also be changed, and so can sliding patio doors. As you'd anticipate, a variety of types and finishes is available. It is important to have secure doorways main onto your garden, as this is where a large number of break ins occur. The safety benefits of uPVC double glazed French doors or patio doors cannot be overestimated, and some lock choices can even get you a discount on your insurance.

Indy 4 Script Almost a Go…Finally
Sci Fi Wire reports that Steven Spielberg was evasive when asked about the plot for the upcoming Indiana Jones sequel at the Tokyo debut of War of the Worlds. "If I did that, my really good friend and collaborator would have me on a silver platter," Spielberg apparently told the AP, referring to George Lucas. "I gotta be careful because if I tell you that, he might take over directing Indy 4 himself. And I won't have a job."
At another event, AFI's 33rd life-achievement awards gala, which honored Lucas, Spielberg told USA Today that screenwriter Jeff Nathanson (who also wrote The Terminal and Catch Me if you Can) is close to completion on a final draft of the film, which should be ready by the end of the summer.
Variety had previously reported that Lucas summoned Nathanson to his headquarters to go over the draft, and that he and Spielberg had both given their approval.
Spielberg hopes to begin production in 2006.
