Are you afraid of walking past a bakery?
Can you hear cakes whispering tempting promises? Knowing they are full of sugar doesn't make them less desirable.
The rich fudgy texture of brownies. Butter melting on a fresh baguette. Scrumptious birthday cake.
You don't have to say goodbye to your favourite treats. Because you can adapt them for low-carb lifestyle.
Baking the low-carb way is easy.
It is quicker than traditional baking. You don't need to raise or knead the dough. Just mix the batter and stick it in the oven.
And the best part? You control exactly what goes in your treats. No hidden carbs. No chemical nasties. And you can calculate net carbs precisely.
Ready to start baking your own low-carb treats?
This post answers the most common low-carb baking questions, so you can bake (and enjoy!) your favourite treats again. Without guilty feelings. And without hassle.
The concept of low-carb bread seems odd. Surely, bread and cakes are bound to be high in carbs?
Traditional baking uses wheat flour and sugar. That's where most of the carbs come from. The secret is you don't have to use them!
Protein is the key. Use lots of eggs and egg whites. Or try adding plain protein powder to your recipe.
Low-carb bread can turn out more like a brick than a baguette! But it doesn't have to.
Use plenty of liquid in your recipe – a lot more than in traditional recipes. Your batter should be quite thin. With some recipes, it is pourable. Spend several minutes mixing the batter to incorporate more air.
But you might have to compromise a little.
And get used to new textures. For breads, expect results closer to heavier rustic multi-seed breads, than a fluffy baguette. It will still work perfectly with pâté, ham and any other topping.
A low-carb cake comes out of the oven looking perfect. You're licking your lips. It looks gorgeous.
But the cake hides a shameful secret – gloopy uncooked mass in the centre.
Low-carb baking needs longer times at lower oven temperatures, so that the moist inside has time to catch up.
Adjust your expectations for cooking times and temperatures. Always follow the directions on your recipe precisely.
Coconut flour with sweetener tastes different to wheat flour and sugar. Sometimes we dislike a taste just because it's not what we expected.
If you don't like the taste of nut flours or sweeteners, add strong flavours to your recipe.
Don't count the carbs inside your head. Even if you are great at maths, your brain will trick you. Humans always err on the wrong side when it comes to food. That's our evolutionary heritage.
Use an app, a spreadsheet, or at least pen and paper.
Divide the total number of carbs by the number of servings.
So a cake with 1600 total calories and 40g net carbs, cut into 8 slices, will have 200 cals and 5g net carbs per slice.
Yummy low-carb treats help you fight temptation.
Enjoy your food without breaking your diet.
Walk past a bakery with your head held high.
What is the best way to store keto baking I find that after storing biscuits, rolls or bread in air tight containers they go very soft and lose any crispness they had.
Hi Anamarie, yes, indeed they do! I tend to just loosely cover them with foil and leave them out of the fridge. Sometimes they dry up a bit this way, but that usually makes them taste better. I also put Keto cakes in the fridge without any container or cover, and it seems to be ok.
Thank you. All great information. I also greatly appreciate links to specific sources.
With diagnosed metabolic syndrome disorder and morbidly obese, my doctor has placed me on a modified Ketogenic program. I have reduced my carb intake, except where white wheat flour tortillas are concerned. Being of Hispanic descent, I need a recipe that doesn't use xanthum gum or non-gluten flours that have carbs that will cause me to exceed my 5-7 carb gram meal limit. Next option will have to be bariactric surgery in 6-7 months.
I really hope Keto diet will work out for you, so that you won't need the surgery. Best of luck!
There are now low carb tortillas available in most store tortilla section.
What is the quantity adjustment for the low carb sub ingredients?
i.e. The recipe that calls for 2 or 3 cups of regular flour how much coconut flour or almond flour would that adjust to? Most all low carb recipes I've tried have substantially less "flour" in them than their wheat flour originals. Any guidelines for starting ratios?
My current adjustment question comes from a recipe that uses 2tbs of flour (for thickening a cream sauce (alfredo).
As mentioned in the post, it's usually not as simple as just swapping regular flour to coconut or almond flour. You are right that required quantities tend to be smaller. But there is a lot more to it. Low-carb flours have different chemical properties compared to regular wheat-based flour. So usually you also need to add or adjust other recipe ingredients to compensate for these differences. That's why I recommend using low-carb recipes rather than adapting regular ones – that takes a lot of trial and error.
For thickening sauces, I personally tend to use xanthan gum – you only need a tiny amount for thickening. I also use it in low-carb baking to improve texture and reduce crumbliness.
I just wanted to say how thrilled I am to see that you linked to my site as possible recipe source. Thank you so much. You share great information in this wonderful article.
Thank you Kim 🙂 I love your recipes and I know how hard you must work in order to keep publishing new ones regularly. Thank you!

Then it was off to Indonesia at the end of Dec and I absolutely enjoyed myself! Of course, the experience in Indonesia is always very different and unique and it can't be compared to the camps that are run elsewhere. The resources there were great too but there were simply too many resources to name!
For now, I have posted 2 video clips for your viewing pleasure. The first one is a trailer that I made for my Auckland Trip Video.
The following is from my road trip in Auckland. Haha... Enjoy. Did I mentioned that I love the car?
After this, my LIFE WAS NEVER, EEEEE.........EEE...EEVER, BE THE SAME AGAIN!!!


This biographical documentary explores the opposing worlds in which Simone lived both as an African American woman and a musician. They include never before heard tapes, rare footage, and interviews with her close friends and family. Its an intimate documentary of a visionary artist whose talent has withstood the test of time. If you weren't already a fan of Nina Simone, you will be after watching this.

Q: Are there any USB stick runnable, no-install, cross platform software frameworks (with GUI)? Does anyone know of a good software development framework or similar that has the following properties?

*

*Cross platform: it should be runnable on XP, Vista, OSX and common versions of Linux (such as Ubuntu and Kubuntu).

*No installation: Be able to run the software from a USB stick without having to copy anything to the host machine.

*Have good GUI support (this is why this question doesn't give a suitable answer, as far as I can tell).

*Permissive licensing such as LGPL or BSD or such.

Among the softer requirements are having a set of abstractions for the most common backend functionality, such as sockets, file IO, and so on (There is usually some platform specific adaptations necessary), and supporting a good language such as Python or C++, though it is usually fun to learn a new one (i.e. not perl).
I think possible candidates are Qt 4.5 or above (but IFAIK Qt software will not run on Vista without any installation(?)), some wxWidgets or maybe wxPython solution, perhaps gtkmm. The examples I have found have failed on one or another of the requirements. This does not mean that no such examples exist, it just means that I have not found any. So I was wondering if anyone out there know of any existing solutions to this?
Some clarifications;

*

*By "framework" I mean something like Qt or gtkmm or python with a widget package.

*This is about being able to run the finished product on multiple platforms, from a stick, without installation, it is not about having a portable development environment.

*It is not a boot stick.

*It is ok to have to build the software specifically for the different targets, if necessary.

The use case I am seeing is that you have some software that you rely on (such as project planning, administration of information, analysis tools or similar) that:

*

*does not rely on having an internet connection being available.

*is run on different host machines where it is not really ok to install anything.

*is moved by a user via a physical medium (such as a USB stick).

*is run on different operating systems, such as Windows, Vista, Ubuntu, OSX.

*works on the same data on these different hosts (the data can be stored on the host or on the stick).

*is not really restricted in how big the bundled framework is (unless it is several gigabytes, which is not really realistic).

It is also ok to have parallel installations on the stick as long as the software behaves the same and can work on the same data when run on the different targets.
A different view on the use case would be that I have five newly installed machines with Vista, XP, OSX, Ubuntu and Kubuntu respectively in front of me. I would like to, without having to install anything new on the machines, be able to run the same software from a single USB stick (meeting the above GUI requirements and so on) on each of these five machines (though, if necessary from different bundles on the stick).
Is this possible?
Edit:
I have experimented a little with a Qt app that uses some widgets and a sqlite database. It was easy to get it to work on an ubuntu dist and on osx. For windows xp and vista I had to copy QtCored4.dll, QtGuid4.dll, QtSqld4.dll and mingwm10.dll to distribution directory (this was debug code) and I copied the qsqlited4.dll to a folder named "sqldrivers" in the distribution directory.

A: You mention wxWidgets but dismiss it as failing at least one of the requirements.
I don't know what your requirements are and in what way wxWidgets wouldn't work for you, but IMO it does fulfill them:

Cross platform: it should be runnable on XP, Vista, OSX and common versions of Linux.

It does run on those platforms, but "common versions of Linux" isn't good enough, as you can never be sure that the necessary GUI libraries for wxGTK (which should not be linked to statically) will be installed. This is however a problem for other solutions as well, unless you plan to put everything onto the stick.

No installation: Be able to run the software from a USB stick without having to copy anything to the host machine.

See the previous point, you would need to specify which libraries are needed on Linux. Also you could specify at build time not to use some of the system-provided libraries (for example for graphics, compression, regexes) but to use the wxWidgets-internal libraries instead.

Have good GUI support

Check.

Permissive licensing such as LGPL or BSD or such.

Check. You can statically link wxWidgets into your application too.

supporting a good language such as Python or C++

Supports both, and there are bindings to other languages as well.

having a set of abstractions for the most common backend functionality, such as sockets, file IO, and so on

It does have some abstractions like that, but you can link to other cross-platform libraries as well.
We use wxWidgets for FlameRobin, a graphical administration program for the Firebird SQL server. It has active ports to Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, and has been compiled for at least some BSD variant and Solaris as well. It definitely runs from a stick on Windows, I haven't tried with Linux or Mac OS X, but I don't see why it shouldn't there too.

A: Java.

*

*It has GUI support.

*It provides your network/file/etc. abstractions.

*It is cross-platform. Most platforms you can think of have a JRE available.

*No need to install a JRE. Most users probably already have one, and if not, you can run the appropriate JRE right off the stick.

*You can provide several startup scripts for various platforms to run the app under the appropriate JRE.

A: Something else to consider is HTML+Javascript. :D

A: You can look at Mono it cross platform, has GUI (GTK+, or Winforms 2.0) and I can execute code without installing.

A: This might not be crossplatform, but is maybe even better, it dont even use the platform  : linux on a stick :-)
The subtitle is

Take your Java workspaces wherever you go on a USB key

Here with java and eclipse, but nothing stops you there of course.
http://knol.google.com/k/inderjeet-singh/installing-a-ubuntu-hardy-heron-java/1j9pj7d01g86i/2#

A: Well, it depends on what you mean by 'package'. Kylix came close to being such a thing. It was QT based, and it allowed you to write once and compile for Windows + Linux. However, it was not an open source solution.

A: I asked a similar question in this link
http://www.24hsoftware.com/DevelopersForum/CrossPlatform-C-Library.html
and the best asnswer seems to be QT.
I have started using QT, but it is not as easy as I expected mainly due to deployment problems due to the DLL hell, Winsxs hell and manifest hell.

A: Tclkit is a single-file, self-contained Tcl/Tk system. The mac version I have is about 3.8 megs. You can get a version for just about any modern OS. I carry around a thumb drive that has mac, windows and linux binaries so I can run my scripts on any platform. No install is required, just copy one file wherever you want.
The most recent versions of tcklit use native, themed widgets (though, on *nix there really isn't a single "native" set of widgets...)

Title: AN ACT TO PROVIDE THAT IN CRIMINAL CASES, EXCEPT CAPITAL CASES, TEN OR MORE JURORS MAY RETURN A VERDICT; AND FOR RELATED PURPOSES.
Information pertaining to this measure was last updated on 01/20/97 at 16:24.


Works with the airshow audience on the ground as well as in the air.
Super Dave is approachable and enjoys talking to adults and children about aviation.
Gives rides in his MX2 to special needs kids and to essay winners from local communities.
Professionalism bar none! Safety with skill is his main concern.
Wherever Super Dave flies, he is supported by sponsors, ground crew, and fans alike!
Dave Mathieson, better known as "Super Dave" in the airshow community, was voted the #1 aerobatic pilot in Canada… by his mom. So it must be true... right?
Born in Hamilton Ontario, Dave started flying with the Royal Canadian Air cadets at age 15 in gliders and got his first float flying job at the age of 18. With more than 16,000 hours of Commercial Flying; Dave has flown bush planes on floats for most of his career including Beech 18, Norseman, de Havilland Beaver, Otter, Twin Otter, Buffalo and Dash 8.
He flew for AirCanada Jazz for five years but found the job too boring, and they frowned upon doing aerobatics with 100 people in the back of the airplane. Dave soon left AirCanada Jazz and went on to become the co-owner and president of Summit Air Charters based in Yellowknife Northwest Territories, Canada.
Dave often faces the question: "Why do they call you 'Super Dave'?". The story is fantastic, and entirely true... On his first commercial job flying a Cessna 180 float plane, the control stick for the aircraft disconnected from the dashboard, losing both aileron and elevator. Dave managed to keep the aircraft flying by using the trim wheel, his body weight, and opening the doors to steer the aircraft back to his base. Dave flew the airplane like this for almost one hour before landing it smoothly on the lake. From that day on, his friends dubbed him "Super Dave".
Dave is a true believer in chasing your dreams. He uses airshows to inspire people young and old alike to show them all that every dream is possible if you just work hard at it..

Q: Compute the fundamental group Let X be the quotient of $S^1 \times [0,1]$ by the identification $(x,y) \sim (e^{2\pi i/3}x,y), y \in \{0,1\}$. Isn't it just a rotation of the cylinder's top and bottom by the same degree? Shouldn't the fundamental group just be the fundamental group of the cylinder?
Edit: It shouldn't be the fundamental group of the cylinder since it is not the rotation. It identifies every three points on the top and bottom circle of the cylinder.

A: Use Seifert-van Kampen on the pair of open sets $U = S^1\times[0,1)/{\sim}$ and $V = S^1\times(0,1]/{\sim}$ which each deformation retract onto a circle, but whose intersection has a generator of $\pi_1$ that gets mapped to $3$ times a generator under the inclusion into either of these subspaces. I leave the details to you.


I serve on the FGB and the Finance and Personnel committee.
I am a Masters Psychology graduate currently working as a Teaching Assistant in the Learning Development Department of a main stream secondary school. Before that I worked as an Inclusion Assistant in the Additional Learning Support Department at a College. In both my roles I have worked with SEN students which I have found enormously rewarding. These roles have given me a great appreciation for the challenges facing both SEN students and the staff who teach and support them. I hope to bring this experience into my role as Governor in order to help support the staff and students at Brandles.
I joined the governing body of Brandles in November 2017 as a parent governor and serve on the FGB and the Finance Personnel Committee. I am a teaching assistant at a local secondary school, working directly with children with SEN in the classroom and have also recently completed an MSc in Psychology. I began working in education relatively recently and joined the Brandles Governing board in order to gain a more holistic understanding of the education system. From my previous career, I have 15 years' experience in marketing, communication and digital project management in the private sector. I am looking forward to bringing some of these wider skills, as well as my experience in SEN, to my role as governor. As a TA and as a parent myself, I have become very aware of the challenges of providing the best education for each individual child. Therefore, I am also greatly motivated by the opportunity to make my own contribution to the amazing work that Brandles does in this respect.
I joined the governing body of Brandles in February 2018. I have over five years' experience working in roles across universities and students' unions, and I believe this allows me to bring a unique insight into the role of governor. Currently I work as the Student Experience and Operations Manager in the careers service at the London School of Economics (LSE).
I am also a former trustee of a charity and governor of a HE provider. Personally, I believe in – and want to – help students influence and shape their own education. In my view, this is how we best guarantee the quality of the time they spend learning.
I joined the Brandles governing body in March 2018. I have served as a governor in several other schools in the past.
I am a qualified teacher and I have a post-graduate qualification in educational leadership and management. I have been a headteacher and I have extensive experience as a senior leader within a Local Authority and, until recently, as a director of a school improvement company. I am currently an independent school improvement adviser and consultant, supporting and advising a diverse range of schools and academies. I am a lead Ofsted inspector.
I am the link governor for safeguarding, special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and for pupils looked after by the local authority.
I look forward to working in partnership with my colleague governors and senior staff in the school to continue the work on driving improvement for the benefit of the pupils.

【Chamber of Commerce】Visit Yang Jiming, Executive Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce and Chairman of Daji (Group) Co., Ltd.
(Summary description)On the morning of April 14, Cai Weijie, Assistant Secretary-General of Shanghai Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce and Secretary of the Party Branch of Shanghai Taizhou Chamber of Commerce...
On the morning of April 14, Cai Weijie, Assistant Secretary-General of Shanghai Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce and Secretary of the Party Branch of Shanghai Taizhou Chamber of Commerce, Feng Hongjun, Secretary-General of Shanghai Taizhou Chamber of Commerce, and Tang Yiru, Secretary-General of Luqiao Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, led a team to visit the Executive Vice President and Da Ji ( Yang Jiming, chairman of the Group) Co., Ltd., investigates the resumption of work and production. Yang Jiming expressed welcome and warm reception to the visitors, and the two sides exchanged views on themes such as the current situation of the company and the work of the Chamber of Commerce.
Yang Jiming first introduced the company's development history, industrial layout, and series of products. He started from scratch in 1988, and has been a group company since his family workshop. In 1994, 1999, 2001, 2006, and 2016, he established Zhejiang Dasu Electric Co., Ltd., Shanghai Lichao Electric Co., Ltd., Shanghai Dasu Motor Co., Ltd., Dasu Motor Co., Ltd., Dagao Motor Co., Ltd. and many other entities have established Daji Group in Shanghai after asset reorganization in 2016. The companies are located in Taizhou Luqiao, Shanghai Jinshan, Shanghai Songjiang and Shanghai. Taizhou has three gates and four places.
Yang Jiming, Executive Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce and Chairman of Daji (Group) Co., Ltd.
Yang Jiming said that he is very grateful for the care and support of the Chamber of Commerce. At present, the group's resumption of work and production is proceeding smoothly and the operation is in good condition. He said that the factory arranges the motor processing positions in dots during production to extend the distance, while ensuring smooth air in the workshop, and do a good job of daily staff temperature detection and elimination of the workshop and office areas. Fortunately, the impact of the epidemic on the motor industry is relatively limited. After the company resumed work, it began to receive orders from customers and worked overtime to produce. The situation is more optimistic. At the same time, as the party branch secretary of the Luqiao Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, Chairman Yang said that the mobile party branch can effectively provide convenience for members whose organizational ties are not in Shanghai. The Luqiao Chamber of Commerce party branch also held many activities last year, so that party members do not have to return. When you go to your hometown, you can participate in organizational life in Shanghai, learn the party's policies, and understand the party's spirit. He hopes to have the opportunity to learn and communicate with the party members of the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce and Taizhou Chamber of Commerce, cultivate party spirit together, and lead the development of the Chamber of Commerce with party building.
Cai Weijie, Assistant Secretary-General of Shanghai Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce, Secretary of the Party Branch of Shanghai Taizhou Chamber of Commerce
Cai Weijie proposed that this visit to Daji Group is first to understand the company's resumption of work and production, so that the Chamber of Commerce can provide timely assistance; the second is to gain in-depth understanding of the development status of the company and learn from its construction and operation experience. He proposed that he hoped to learn from each other and improve with the Daji Group in party building work, and at the same time use party building as a good platform for communication and promotion between fraternal chambers of commerce, and strive to integrate party building work with chamber of commerce work and enterprise development. He mentioned that under the national strategy for the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta, the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce actively promotes the planning and construction of the G60 Science and Technology Innovation Center of Zhejiang Merchants in the Yangtze River Delta. The headquarters of the Yangtze River Delta enterprises are located in Hongqiao to better serve the enterprises and hope to have more quality Zhejiang merchants invest in Hongqiao.
Feng Hongjun, Secretary General of Shanghai Taizhou Chamber of Commerce
Feng Hongjun said that Daji Group's gratifying achievements today are due to the strong professionalism of Chairman Yang Jiming and his enthusiasm for contributing to China's national industry. He has been fighting hard in the business world for more than ten years. He briefly introduced the current situation of the Taizhou Chamber of Commerce and the focus of this year's work to Yang Jiming, and said that he will do a good job in communication and docking, better serve members, increase the development of new members, and attract more outstanding companies to join the association. As the Secretary-General of the Chamber of Commerce, he will definitely strengthen the construction of the Chamber of Commerce, expand the influence of the Chamber of Commerce, and build the Chamber of Commerce into a more open communication platform for entrepreneurs.
Tang Yiru, Secretary General of Luqiao Shanghai Chamber of Commerce
Tang Yiru said, I am very happy that the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce and Taizhou Chamber of Commerce visited the outstanding chairman enterprises of the Road and Bridge Chamber of Commerce this time and exchanged work experience with the Chamber of Commerce. Since the establishment of the Party branch of the Road and Bridge Chamber of Commerce, Chairman Yang has served as the secretary of the Party branch. This time, the two sides effectively discussed the construction and cooperation of the Chamber of Commerce Party branch. The opportunity is precious. Chairman Yang started from a family workshop, went to Sanmen, and then to Shanghai, and developed and expanded step by step. Now he returns to his hometown to invest and set up factories, demonstrating the down-to-earth, low-key and hardworking qualities of road and bridge businessmen. Piluqiao merchants stepped out and laid a good foundation. With the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta, the vertical exchanges between the provincial and municipal chambers of commerce and the horizontal cooperation of fraternal chambers of commerce have become more and more important. I hope that the chambers of commerce of ours will further strengthen exchanges, learn from each other, and have the opportunity to visit outstanding companies in the chambers in the future. Learn.

What Are The '3 Dimensions of Negotiation'?
The 3 Dimensions of Negotiation are setup, structure, and discussion.
Setup involves setting a stage for a positive outcome of the negotiation. The environmental factors play a huge role in the negotiation, so it pays to do appropriate research to gain as much knowledge as possible about your negotiating partner.
Structure is the terms of the proposal. By thinking on the Structure of your proposal in advance, you can have valuable options for your partner to consider, and eventually reach Common Ground.
Discussion is actually presenting the offer to the other party. This is where you work on the details, remove Barriers to Purchase, and more. Discussion continues until the parties reach an agreement or quit negotiating.
Prepare the Three Dimensions of Negotiation to increase greatly the chances of reaching an agreement that benefits both parties.
Most people think of negotiation as sitting down across from the other party and presenting offers and counteroffers. But that's the last phase of the process; the other two happen well before you ever sit down at the negotiating table.
The Three Dimensions of Negotiation are setup, structure, and discussion. As David Lax and James Sebenius discuss in 3-D Negotiation, each of these phases is critically important: by creating an Environment that's conducive to a deal and preparing your strategy in advance, you can dramatically increase the probability of finding a mutually acceptable solution.
Who is involved in the negotiation, and are they open to dealing with you?
Who are you negotiating with, and do they know who you are and how you can help them?
What are you proposing, and how does it benefit the other party?
What's the setting—will you present your offer in person, by phone, or some other means?
What are all of the Environmental factors around the deal—do recent events make this deal more or less important to the other party?
Setup is the negotiation equivalent of Guiding Structure—the environment surrounding the deal plays a huge role in the eventual outcome, so it pays to ensure that the environment is conducive to getting a good deal before you ever reach the table.
By thinking about the setup, you can make sure you're negotiating with the right person—the person who has the Power to give you what you want. Research is what gives this dimension of negotiation its power—the more knowledge you gain about your negotiating partner during this phase, the more power you have in the entire negotiation, so do your homework before presenting an offer.
What exactly will you propose, and how will you Frame your proposal to the other party?
What are the primary benefits of your proposal to the other party?
What is the other party's Next Best Alternative, and how is your proposal better?
How will you overcome the other party's objections and Barriers to Purchase?
Are there Trade-offs or concessions you're willing to make to reach an agreement?
Remember, your goal in creating the proposal is to find Common Ground: an agreement that both parties will be happy to accept. By thinking through the structure of your proposal in advance, you can prepare a few different options that you believe the other party will want, on terms you're willing to accept.
If you're expecting the other party to balk at the price, for instance, you can prepare arguments to overcome the objection, lower-cost options that provide less value, or alternative offers that would better fit their needs. When the time comes for you to discuss the deal with your negotiating partner, you'll be ready for anything.
The third dimension of negotiation is the Discussion: actually presenting the offer to the other party. The discussion is where you actually talk through your proposal with the other party. Sometimes the discussion happens the way you see it in the movies: in a mahogany-walled boardroom, across the table, toe-to-toe with the CEO. Sometimes, it happens over the phone. Sometimes it happens over e-mail.
Whatever the setting, this is the point where you present your offer, discuss or clarify any issues the other party doesn't understand, answer objections and remove Barriers to Purchase, and ask for the sale.
Discussion continues until a final agreement is reached or the parties decide to quit negotiating, whichever happens first.
If you prepare the Three Dimensions of Negotiation (setup, structure, and discussion) in advance, you'll be far more likely to settle on terms that benefit both parties.
Have you thought through the set-up of your deal?
How will you structure and frame your proposal?
What's your plan walking into the discussion phase?
How can you prepare as thoroughly for this negotiation as possible, given your available time?
"The first thing to decide before you walk into any negotiation is what to do if the other fellow says no."

<TITLE>Review for Wide Awake (1998)</TITLE>
<LINK REL="STYLESHEET" TYPE="text/css" HREF="/ramr.css">

Wide Awake (1998)

reviewed by
Michael Dequina

Wide Awake (PG) ** 1/2 (out of ****)
        The occasionally affecting Wide Awake is a strange paradox of a film.
Although it is clearly targeted at children, this sometimes humorous but
often somber meditation on death and religion will mystify most young
moviegoers.  On the same token, its rather facile treatment of its serious
themes will leave older audiences less than satisfied.
        The existence of God becomes a major concern for the film's protagonist,
10-year-old Catholic school student Joshua Beal (newcomer Joseph Cross, in
a promising debut) after his beloved grandfather (Robert Loggia) dies of
bone marrow cancer.  Joshua cannot comprehend why he had to pass on, and
his fifth grade school year turns into a nine-month long search (told in
three phases: "The Questions," "The Signs," and "The Answers") for an
explanation from a higher power--that is, if one indeed exists.  For a
kid-aimed film, this is pretty heavy, heady subject matter, perhaps a
little too much so to engage the young 'uns.  But writer-director M. Night
Shyamalan does not address these lofty issues satisfactorily enough for
adults, offering simple answers and easy miracles.  I suppose a compromise
of sorts was necessary to reach audiences at the opposite ends of the age
spectrum, but in hitting middle ground he reaches no one.
        More accessible to the tots are the subplots that hover around Joshua's
quest, such as his dealings with his carefree best friend Dave (Timothy
Reifsnyder), a school bully, and a portly schoolmate who desperately wants
a friend.  While some humorous amusement is to be had from these lighter
threads, they degenerate into the manipulative, melodramatic hokum of those
sappy "very special episodes" of sitcoms or, in the case of David,
disease-themed afterschool specials.  Granted, a few isolated moments
involving these stories and the main plot achieve some level of poignance,
but that is more due to the heartfelt, earnest performances of the cast
(which also includes Rosie O'Donnell, Denis Leary, and Dana Delany) than
Shyamalan's writing or directing.
        Towards the end, the newly enlightened Joshua lends the film its title
when he declares himself "wide awake."  Audiences of all ages will have
some difficulty saying the same for themselves.  To borrow the metaphor,
they will indeed be awake (OK, the really little ones may not
be--literally), but likely in that alert-but-still-drowsy state when one
first gets up in the morning.

The statements of some Western politicians about the chemical attack on April 4, occurred in the Syrian province of Idlib, once again confirmed that the modern world is suffering a severe and chronic crisis of political will.
The lack of a clear and independent position on the issue (and also on most of the global problems) by the governments of Western powers is a serious obstacle in the fight against such threats as terrorism, organized crime, the struggle against hunger, global warming, the proliferation of nuclear weapons etc. This raises serious doubts about whether some politicians are competent and whether the opportunity to make the world safer under the leadership of such leaders is real.
UN experts have not yet published any objective conclusions about anybody's involvement in the use of chemical weapons in the city of Khan Sheikhun. It wasn't proved that it is play-by-play report. The result of the samples' analysis isn't released. It was not even determined what war gas and kind of weapons (munitions) were used. The investigation initiated by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) in Syria has just started and the experts have so far refused to comment on what had happened without having at least preliminary information on the issue.
But how is all of it may be important for Western politicians and diplomats, when the world community wants a speedy reaction to what had happened. The main thing is to do its best to earn political capital, without waiting for the results of investigation and without making well-considered decisions. When the world community forgets to think about the tragedy, the situation in the world can dramatically change. One of the main conditions of a political success is a storm of hysteria in the mainstream media and an attempt to adopt a rough-and-ready UN resolution.
While using such tough retaliation measures as pinpoint strikes and organizing a splendid little war any weak politician can turn the world on its head, rekindle glory, become once again the history-maker, divert people's attention from Obamacare and other problems within its own country.
Hundreds of Syrian children brutally thrown to the wolves and murdered in the narrow interests of others' have nothing to do with the political leaders. Are diplomats from different countries really getting to the bottom of the truth? An analysis of the statements about the chemical attack in Syria makes it possible to give answers that are close to reality to these questions.
The events that took place within a week after the air strike attack on Khan Sheikhun divided the world community into two camps. Some seek to establish the truth, while the latter require immediate action, not caring about the truth.
1. The National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces one of the first claimed that at least 80 people were killed, and 200 injured as a result of the attack. The armed opposition accused the Syrian Army of the action.
2. U.S. President Donald Trump put the responsibility for the alleged chemical attack in Syria on the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Though D. Trump might also be poisoned. Some Trump' specialists from Quemado Institute state Khan Sheikhun's false flag might also be designed to overthrow Trump, by proving Trump is an impulsive and dangerous leader who is unfit for office.
4. British Foreign Minister, Boris Johnson, went much further. Despite the investigation didn't even begin, Johnson stressed that he had personally seen the evidence of using chemical weapons by the Syrian Army.
5. Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister, Chrystia Freeland, said that the chemical attack in Khan Shaykhun coincided with other Syrian government's actions.
6. France's Foreign Minister, Jean-Marc Ayrault, also blamed Damascus for the incident in Idlib.
7. Qatar is confident that the Syrian authorities are only responsible for the attack in Syria's Idlib. This was stated by Qatar's Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani.
8. Germany's Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel refrained from accusing the Syrian authorities, but expressed fears that in the fight against terrorism, the bid for Syrian President Bashar Assad shouldn't be made.
… This list can be easily continued.
1. Staffan de Mistura called on the OPCW to launch an investigation on the chemical attack, and demanded to find guilty for the attack in Syria's Idlib. De Mistura also proposed to organize a meeting of the UN Security Council.
2. Even warhawk Frederica Mogherini has condemned Trump's actions. The head of EU diplomacy, Federica Mogherini, said those who are responsible for using chemical weapons in the Syrian Idlib, should be punished.
3. Shock, but NATO Secretary General, Jens Stoltenberg, called for bringing the perpetrators to justice, refraining from accusations against Bashar Assad.
4. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Hua Chunying, called for an objective and fair investigation.
… Is it easy to continue this list?
Apparently, it does not make sense whether the second camp can establish the truth or not. The will of most of the Western leaders and diplomats is poisoned by political, financial and personal interests. The Syrian people, who have been suffering from the war, received a slap by the missile strikes from the American destroyers. The process of re-establishing relations with the opposition in Geneva and Astana is again under the threat. The United States implied that they intend to be a leader of the whole world, that they have the only right to appoint the 'enemies of democracy'. The situation in the Middle East has reminded the theory of controlled chaos. So, the strategic goals have been achieved. Who needs to know the truth about the murdered Syrian children in such circumstances?

Philip Roth passed away this week at 85, having written over 30 books of fiction, autobiography, criticism, and essays over a 55-year span before announcing his retirement five years ago. He was one of my all-time favorite writers. Here is a re-post of my 2009 review of his first book, Goodbye, Columbus.
Philip Roth won the 1960 National Book Award for his first book, Goodbye, Columbus, a collection of five short stories and the title novella. He went on to create an incredible body of work – building on many themes introduced in Goodbye, Columbus – publishing 30 books to date with another on the way.
In the main novella, hero Neil Klugman is home in Newark after two years in the army. He has finished college, is working in the library, and lives with his Aunt Gladys and Uncle Max in the old neighborhood. When Neil falls in love with Brenda Patimkin, the prototypical Jewish American Princess whose family has moved to the suburbs up the hill, Roth begins the examination of American Jewish life that continues through many of his books.
The title is a reference to Ohio State University Seniors saying goodbye to college, goodbye to Columbus, Ohio, but it also signifies growing up and leaving youth behind. Neil and Brenda's relationship demonstrates the intensity of first love, as well as the disillusionment and emotional tempering that result.
The five short stories that follow vary in force and effect. "The Conversion of the Jews" is a clever piece in which a young student starts a theological argument with his teacher along the lines of, "If God is omnipotent, can he make a rock too big for him to move?" It is fast and crisp and more than a little audacious.
How Jews, particularly secular Jews, assimilated into mid-century American culture is a common Roth theme. In "Defender of the Faith," he looks at Jews in the military, drawing in part on his own experience in the army. This story leaves questions unanswered for later pondering: Just who defended the faith? Was it the hero, Sergeant Nathan Marx, who fought the Germans in WWII? Or the new recruit, Sheldon Grossman, who demands to follow his religious practices in boot camp? Is Grossman really looking out for the Jews in the unit, or just trying to gain preferential treatment? What about Marx? This would be an excellent pick for a lit class or book club.
"Epstein" is a morality tale about adultery on the brink of the sexual revolution. Louis Epstein learns the hard way that his generation does not get to share in the sexual frolics of the post-war, folk-singing, "socially conscious" next one.
In "You Can't Tell a Man by the Song He Sings," Roth touches on themes he comes back to over and over, including growing up in Newark, baseball, interactions among ethnic groups, and political ideology. The idea of a high school teacher falling into the net of anti-communist committee hearing is one that Roth later developed fully in I Married a Communist, one of his Zuckerman novels.
The last story, "Eli the Fanatic," is the most powerful of the bunch. When a group of religious Jews sets up a Yeshiva for Holocaust orphans, the secular Jews in the "modern community" of Woodenton, New Jersey want the school closed down, fearing that it will upset the delicate balance they have achieved with their secular Protestant neighbors. Poor Eli Peck gets caught in the middle, trying to negotiate between his fellow townsfolk and the school. Peck's eventual comprehension of the past suffering of the Yeshiva Jews and the shameful position of his cohorts leads to his emotional undoing. This is a story to mull over.
Roth won several more awards after this one, including another National for Sabbath Theater, the Pulitzer for American Pastoral, and the National Book Critics Circle Award for Counterlife, among others. He was a true man of letters and a real American treasure.
This was my National Book Award pick for the Battle of the Prizes Challenge.

What are the required policies that Arizona public and charter schools must create to protect students from bullying?
State regulations and laws here in Arizona state that schools must develop policies and procedures to protect students and stop bullying within that environment.
So, let's first talk about what those policies must entail. The first part is that there must be confidentiality when reporting alleged bullying. A parent, a guardian, a student, or another student who witnesses it, staff, or anyone in that environment can report bullying incidents, and the school must keep that confidential.
What is Bullying?
What is bullying? The State Board of Education has defined bullying as when a student is repeatedly exposed to hostile action on the part of one or more students over time.
These students intend to harm the student they're doing the alleged bullying, and that person must be seeking power or control over the victim. So, that's kind of how they define bullying. It must be repeated over a period, and there must be an intent to harm. And the schools must act.
Anti-Bullying Policy in Schools
So, the policies you can find for each school district are usually in the student and parent handbooks. Again, we had discussed that there must be confidentiality upon reporting, and then the school must act and comply with the procedures they have in place.
School's Extra Policies on Physical Bullying
Sometimes, this means separating the students and checking in with the student who is the alleged victim of the bullying.
Also, there are different types of bullying. But if we're talking about physical bullying, such as assault on a student, there will be additional policies. The school may be mandated reporters, and they are required to report that student to legal authorities.
Parents also must be notified if their student is the alleged victim of bullying. And then also, as I said, safeguards must be in place to stop that. The school does have to create these policies and procedures, and they also must implement them.
Seek Legal Counsel
It means that these aren't just words on a page. The school must comply; parents and guardians have many legal rights and remedies if they don't. You can reach out to the school and communicate your concerns.
But, if you feel like you're not being heard, you can get an attorney involved, such as myself. I've represented parents, guardians, and students before schools who are victims of bullying.
If the school still is not complying and you feel like it falls on deaf ears, parents have the right to file a complaint with the State Board of Education alleging that the school is not complying with their policies. Bullying is a severe issue, and it has a lot of repercussions for those students who are victims of bullying.
Schools must create these policies and procedures. They must implement them and must comply with them. It must be confidential, the school must notify parents, and they must report any physical altercation to the legal entities they are mandated to report with.
Arizona recognizes the seriousness of bullying and has established laws to address the problem. The first law was enacted in 2006, requiring all schools to have policies to deal with bullying. The second law was enacted in 2009 and expanded the definition of bullying to include cyberbullying. It also required schools to report bullying incidents to the Arizona Department of Education.
The 2009 law also created the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools within the Arizona Department of Education. The office is responsible for providing school support and resources on bullying prevention. It also investigates complaints of bullying and enforces the state's anti-bullying laws.
School Bullying Issues
Today, multiple issues affect students' motivation when it comes to schooling. Bullying is one of the main challenges and is highlighted as a leading cause of school absenteeism. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention statistics, 18.2% of Arizona high school students were bullied in 2019.
From the above data, it's clear that Grand Canyon State is struggling to keep its students safe. Everything is made worse by the Biennial Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System, which indicates that 13.4% of Arizona youths were cyberbullying victims in 2019. The most unfortunate aspect is that such bullying happened on the school property.
What are the protections for students regarding cyberbullying?
Cyberbullying is more difficult in ways of protection because there needs to be a consideration of where it happened. If the bullying occurred on school property, on school premises, or outside of school; if the cyberbullying occurred on school property, at a school event, on a school computer, or anything having to do with school property or involvement in the school, the students are on the premises.
If they're using the school's network or computer, the anti-bullying policy mandated by state law would consider cyberbullying.
It can be any bullying I've discussed in my previous blogs, which you can check out.
Cyberbullying can also be a little bit more challenging to define. A lot of times, it's going to be more social or emotional. And what I mean by that is cyberbullying can be anything from spreading rumors or sharing embarrassing information.
It can also be harassing as well if the contact is unwanted, it's repeated over a period, and it's harmful.
Protection for Harassment Victims
So, what protection is there for those victims?
Arizona has criminal statutes codified that are called harassment. And cyberbullying can rise to the level of harassment.
If that rises to that level, then instead of protection from the school, you would get protection from your local police department. You would report it that way. And then you would turn over any information, and they would conduct their investigation.

Amazing! I needed my PA employment contract reviewed since it was pretty technical and legal. I submitted a request one night and received an email the next morning. I was given 3 different packages, and I chose the middle one so I can have the opportunity to have some more options added on during my review. I was assigned to attorney Renee. She was very knowledgeable, kind, and also very helpful in terms of what she thought I should ask for in changes to my contract. I was so happy I went with this firm since they specialize as well. And the cost was completely worth it!! Thank you so much! I already recommended someone else to come here! 5 stars is not enough.

Naspers, a broad-based multinational internet and media group headquartered in South Africa has announced that it will list its offshore assets in Europe.
The company which has faced repeated calls from investors to find ways to unlock value, said it planned to list its non-South African internet operations in Amsterdam, including its prized stake in China's Tencent.
Naspers revealed that it would list the assets on the Euronext Amsterdam exchange, with a secondary listing on the JSE. The company noted that the entity, called NewCo, was likely to be the largest listed consumer internet group in Europe by asset value.
The company, which will retain its primary listing in Johannesburg, said it planned to retain about 75 per cent of NewCo, which will hold the group's investments in Tencent, mail.ru, OLX, Avito, Letgo, PayU, iFood, Swiggy, Delivery Hero, Udemy, eMAG and MakeMyTrip. Naspers said the listing is expected to happen in the second half of 2019.
The Chief Executive Officer of Naspers, Bob van Dijk said "forming and listing a new, global consumer internet group on Euronext Amsterdam is a significant step for Naspers".
Van Dijk said "as well as opening up investment to a broader category of investors, the listing aims to reduce our weighting on the JSE, which we believe will help us maximise shareholder value over time".
Naspers accounts for nearly a quarter of the JSE's shareholder-weighted index, meaning local investors have been forced to reduce their relative exposure to the company to avoid concentration risk. That partly explains why the group trades at a hefty discount to the value of its portfolio.
The Chief Executive Officer said "the proposed listing on Euronext Amsterdam is expected to help address this market issue and is the next significant action by management to create shareholder value".
In early March, Naspers unbundled MultiChoice onto the JSE. The pay-TV unit helped fund Naspers' meteoric rise since the turn of the millennium. Naspers also recently trimmed its stake in Tencent and sold its shares in India's Flipkart.
Naspers will continue to directly hold its South African assets, including Takealot and Media24, alongside its majority stake in NewCo.
The Finance Chief of Naspers, Basil Sgourdos said the board and governance structures of NewCo would probably mirror those of Naspers.


Our sincere thanks to those able to contribute to the fabulous attendance at the Icehouse for Saturday's clash between the Melbourne Ice & Sydney Bears.
Despite a 3-1 loss to Sydney, spirits were still high to make the teddies fly!
Be sure to watch from the 47:00 minute mark, see the Melbourne Ice score and the fans support Very Special Kids in a truly unique way.
As some of you know, VERY SPECIAL KIDS is an organisation that has come to mean a great deal to me and my family over the past year.
They provide total family care when, as in our case, the unthinkable happens.
When a child faces a life-threatening condition, VSK supports parents, siblings, extended family and most importantly the affected child and ensures that the person (not the problem) remains at the centre of care.
The CANADA CLUB OF VICTORIA has partnered with Very Special Kids at this year's CANADA DAY CLASSIC ice hockey game where spectators have the opportunity to learn more and support this incredibly important organisation.
I have been humbled to be asked to say a few words to introduce VSK and drop the puck at the ceremonial face-off before the game.
So why not 'get your skates on' and come support this very worthy cause.
Watch the Melbourne Ice take on the Sydney Bears and dig deep for Very Special Kids.

Most of us spend about one-third of our time at work, so it is no surprise that the work environment can have a big impact on our health. There is a lot that can be done in the workplace to help employees to be not only healthier, but more productive.
Find ways to move more. More and more research is now showing that sitting for long stretches of time is not good for our health. Even short breaks from sitting such as a few minutes of walking every hour can have health benefits and make you more alert and productive when you are back at your desk. Look for more tips on adding physical activity to your work day in next month's newsletter.
Make healthy choices easy. We tend to be creatures of habit, impulse, and convenience. When our workplace is filled with tempting, easy-to-access foods, we are more likely to consume those foods – so why not make those foods healthier? Strategies for better nutrition during the work day include replacing the candy bowl with a fruit bowl, ensuring adequate refrigerated storage space for employees to bring their own lunch, including healthier options in the vending machine and at office events, and making water an easy and inexpensive beverage choice. These "nudge" strategies tend to work much better than restrictions or penalties in the workplace.
Manage your stress. Stress is linked with a multitude of negative health outcomes and can drive unhealthy choices, yet our workdays can be filled with stress. In addition to taking regular breaks from your desk and surrounding yourself with healthy choices, consider implementing additional stress-relieving strategies. These may include creating a welcoming office environment that suits you whether it be lighting, music, or objects that invoke happiness or calm; taking a few minutes to connect socially with your co-workers each day – the feelings of social connection and support are important for managing stress; and developing stress-relieving practices you can implement in the office such as stretching, yoga, or meditation. Keep in mind that your life outside of work can help address stress in the office as well – regular exercise, supportive social networks, and adequate sleep are all important components of overall stress management.
Making fruit-infused water available in a common-area of the office provides employees with an alternative to high-calorie beverages and a reason to get up and move from their desk.

"Rock of Ages" is a popular Christian hymn by the Reverend Augustus Montague Toplady written in 1763 and first published in The Gospel Magazine in 1775.
Traditionally, it is held that Toplady drew his inspiration from an incident in the gorge of Burrington Combe in the Mendip Hills in England. Toplady, a preacher in the nearby village of Blagdon, was travelling along the gorge when he was caught in a storm. Finding shelter in a gap in the gorge, he was struck by the title and scribbled down the initial lyrics.
The fissure that is believed to have sheltered Toplady is now marked as the "Rock of Ages", both on the rock itself and on some maps, and is also reflected in the name of a nearby tea shop.
Commentary on lyrics
"When my eyes shall close in death" was originally written as "When my eye-strings break in death".
There has been speculation that, though Toplady was a Calvinist, the words, "Be of sin the double cure, Save from wrath, and make me pure," suggest that he agreed with the teachings of the Methodist preacher under whom he received his religious conversion, and of his contemporary, John Wesley, who taught the "double cure," in which a sinner is saved by the atonement of Jesus, and cleansed from inbred sin by the infilling of the Holy Spirit. However, Toplady's own published hymnal of 1776 refutes such a notion, with the lines: "Be of sin the double cure, Save me from its guilt and power," a clear indication that the double cleansing was from the guilt and power of sin.

Alec Baldwin, Caskey
Hook:
Things done change with the biggest moss
Moz on time in my city dog
They ain't f*cking with me at all
I'm getting' rich and die tryin' man fifties in the ..
Kind of, kind of strange, everybody callin'
Because I'm making chain and I don't know what to call it
They say if you ain't I, here I'm ballin'
But then he ain't just another white boy, Alec Baldwin.
Yeah, sayin' on the best out
But he just blowin' money with the chest out
But he ain't just another white boy, Alec Baldwin
Sayin' on the best out
If you ain't out here ballin'
But he ain't just another white boy.
Now the money is just a concept
So blowin it like it's imaginary mean this rather scary
I went through like thirty racks in just a month
I ain't tryin' to stunt, that's my boss job
.. fifty cal we the blunts
I come to eat 'em up, appetite for the after life
Spend more money I'ma fall that's the sacrifice
My apartment complex '
So I got that coffin' cash money then bought me better life,
I'm better writing, whole crew and enlighting
You just old news I'm pro tools Myke Tyson
What a bike license, many rappers they ain't shit to me

Visually I'm most sacadelic, acquire ..
All this rappers quite hellish, I think they jealous
She is telling me relish in the fruits so your label
But always share your fruits with your neighbor
They hit on me 'cause..
The guy ain't .. this rappers will only rappin' 'bout money
But I ain't knocking omida, I guess we all just one hundred
With hundreds you know I'm just playin' in my position
They say I come to entertain with intuition
I'm inter for .. she ain't got to have a .. bottom
But she got to have an onion booty with a hundred problems
You know, overseat I got my 99
Women always more complex than my define with
Me, I had a homie go tell me, take over the city
I told em what you mean,
You say you know like 2 pot, I say give me two shots
Plus the L, boy they ain't no biggie,
I'm always skinny, friend ties I'm with my grands pot
I leave you like I stand in the air pollin'
Ain't no deny my criteria, I swear you jump a hundred
Niggas taste in m city nobody hearin' yeah you little bitch
Hundred degree, 50,000 flights
I ain't sure of who he is, or white little wine
The crooger slang I shift dears and my dog of plane
And forget the more skin and pain without Chris Lane
Y'all baby blue diamonds 'cause the baby cares
Mack around and diamonds dancing I'm Mariah Carey
The red buryin' I fly lowin' never .. my clare in
So my first hundred grant on that Panamara
.. for 20 dub kay, in Los Vegas
I would take a nap but there's Los Vegas
I'm movin' 50 pack like they Cary Collins
