Na <ref target="http://nl.ijs.si/e-zrc/rtf2tei/">http://nl.ijs.si/e-zrc/rtf2tei/</ref> najdete servis za pretvorbo Word datotek v <ref target="http://www.tei-c.org/Guidelines/P5/">TEI P5</ref>. Spletna stran vsebuje tudi navodila za uporabo same spletnega servisa, pričujoče besedilo pa vsebuje navodila za oblikovanje Word datotek za servis in obenem služi kot testno besedilo, ki ga lahko pošljete servisu, da vam vrne ustrezno stavljen rezultat v XML oz. HTML.

        <anchor xml:id="Toc317600600"/>Splošna navodila
        <list type="ordered">
          <item>Besedilo naj uporablja naslove (Heading 1, Heading 2, itn.), saj bo le tako pravilno razčlenjeno na razdelke (<div>) v TEI. Besedilo pred prvim naslovom gre v element <front>. <lb/><hi rend="underline">Namig</hi>: Kaj točno so naslovi lahko preverite preko »prikaži ¶«. Pravilni naslovi imajo na začetku vrstice napisan kvadratek, ▪ <lb/><hi rend="underline">Pozor</hi>: »Naslovi« lahko pomotoma postanejo tudi prazne vrstice ali pa prelomi strani, kar preverite skozi kvadratek. Ali se naslovi res pravilno pretvorijo, preverite v kazalu generiranega HTML, pa tudi v sami datoteki Word lahko naredite kazalo.</item>
          <item>Večina formatiranja (font, velikost, barva, vrsta podčrtaja, razmaki, zamik odstavkov, itd.) se pri pretvorbi izgubi. </item>
          <item>Za bolj specifične elemente TEI je potrebno uporabiti vnaprej določene sloge, predstavljeni v naslednjih razdelkih. Slogi uporabljajo različne barve in podčrtanja, da se vizualno ločijo od drugega besedila. Ime sloga je tipično enako imenu elementa TEI v katerega se pretvori. <lb/><hi rend="underline">Namig</hi>: Pri delu s slogi pomaga, če vklopite podokno s slogi (Oblika – Slogi in oblikovanje). </item>
          <item>Pretvorba ne ohrani paginacije, razen v primeru, ko vstavimo ročni prelom strani, ki se prevede v <pb/>; ta je primeren kot nosilec kazalke na faksimile. </item>
          <item>Odstavek (Enter) in ročni prelom vrstice (Ctrl-Enter) se prevedeta v različna elementa (<p> in <lb/>). <lb/><hi rend="underline">Namig</hi>: Znake za odstavke, prelom strani in vrstic lahko vidite, če vklopite »prikaži ¶« v Wordu, oz. skozi generirani HTML.</item>
          <item>Tabele in opombe naj bi se v pretvorbi ohranile, čeprav bodo verjetno drugače stavljene v HTML, kot pa so bile v Word.</item>
          <item>Vrnjeno besedilo v TEI vsebuje tudi kolofon TEI - tega je treba v TEI ročno popraviti in izpolniti. </item>
        </list>

Tule je <pb/>, prelom strani!

          <pb/>

        <anchor xml:id="Toc317600601"/><pb type="soft"/>Uporaba slogov

V tem poglavju so podani primerov uporabe slogov, ki so definirani posebej za pretvorbo v TEI; te sloge spoznamo po tem, da se vsi začnejo z nizom »tei:«.  Najprej opišemo sloge, ki so definirani na ravni odstavkov, nato pa take, ki jih uporabljamo znotraj besedila za označevanje posameznih besed ali fraz.

          <anchor xml:id="Toc317600602"/>Slogi, definirani na ravni odstavkov

Spodnji slogi se vedno uporabijo za označevanje celotnih odstavkov.

            <anchor xml:id="Toc317600603"/>Avtor: <hi rend="italic">tei:docAuthor</hi>
            <docAuthor>Matija Ogrin</docAuthor>

Avtor se preslika v <docAuthor>.

Pozor: avtor se sme pojaviti samo neposredno po naslovu poglavja!

            <anchor xml:id="Toc317600604"/>Bibliografski seznam: <hi rend="italic">tei:listBibl</hi>

Bibliografski seznam se preslika v <listBibl>, s postavkami <bibl>:

            <listBibl>Matija Ogrin. Uvod v Brižinske spomenike. Acta Analytica 12/4, 1994, str. 3-120.</listBibl>
            <listBibl>Matija Ogrin. Uvod v zbrana dela. Acta Analytica 12/5, 1995, str. 13-15. </listBibl>

            <anchor xml:id="Toc317600605"/>Citirano besedilo: <hi rend="italic">tei:cit</hi>

Citirano besedilo, <cit>, lahko vsebuje več odstavkov. V spodnjem primeru je na koncu podan tudi vir s slogom bibl, glej naslednje poglavje:

            <cit>Kar so govorili, to so mislili.</cit>
            <cit>Česar niso, niso. <bibl>Wittgenstein, 1931</bibl>.</cit>

            <anchor xml:id="Toc317600606"/>Dramski govor: <hi rend="italic">tei:sp</hi>

Govori v gledališkem delu; <sp>  (posamezni govori) so ločeni s praznim odstavkom, prvi odstavek govora se preslika v <speaker> (govorec), vsi naslednji pa v <l> (vrstica):

            <sp>Romeo</sp>
            <sp>Biti ali ne biti,</sp>
            <sp>to je sedaj vprašanje.</sp>
            <sp>Julija</sp>
            <sp>Kakšno vprašanje le?</sp>
            <sp>Bodi, pa je!</sp>

            <anchor xml:id="Toc317600607"/>Pesem: <hi rend="italic">tei:lg</hi>

Pesmi se preslikajo v serijo <lg> (kitica); če ima pesem več kitic, naj bodo med sabo ločene s praznim odstavkom. Vsak odstavek znotraj kitice se preslika v <l> (vrstica):

            <lg><pb type="soft"/>Prva vrstica prve kitice pesmi,</lg>
            <lg>druga vrstica prve kitice pesmi.</lg>
            <lg>Prva vrstica druge kitice pesmi,</lg>
            <lg>druga vrstica druge kitice pesmi.</lg>

            <anchor xml:id="Toc317600608"/>Kustoda: <hi rend="italic">tei:catch-word</hi>

Čeprav se slog imenjuje »tei:catch-word«, tega elementa v TEI ne bomo našli. TEI namreč vsebuje element <ref target="http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/ref-fw.html">fw</ref> (forme work), vendar je pomen tega elementa širši kot samo kustoda, zato je mora biti za oznaka dodatno kvalificirana z atributom za tip, ki ima za kustodo vrednost »catch«, torej »<<hi rend="italic">fw type="catch">.</hi> Primer uporabe:

            <catch-word>Kust-</catch-word>

            <anchor xml:id="Toc317600609"/>Slike: <hi rend="italic">tei:figure</hi>

Uporaba sloga povzroči, da se v dokument TEI vpiše element <figure>, ki vsebuje podnapis k sliki (<head>). V datoteki TEI bo nato na roke potrebno vstaviti še element <graphic>, ki bo vseboval kazalko na dejansko slikovno datoteko, npr. <hi rend="italic"><graphic url="slika.jpg"/></hi>. Primer uporabe:

Naslov slike

          <anchor xml:id="Toc317600610"/>Slogi, definirani znotraj odstavka

            <anchor xml:id="Toc317600611"/>Slogi za parne elemente

Če sta prisotna oba elementa sledečih parov in med njima ni besedila, ju združi <subst> (nadomestno) oz. <choice> (izbira):

            <list type="unordered">

            </list>

        <anchor xml:id="Toc317600612"/>Uporaba standardnega oblikovanja

V tem poglavju pokažemo še uporabo nekaterih standardnih načinov za oblikovanje besedila v urejevalniku Word, ki se tudi upoštevajo pri pretvorbi:

        <list type="unordered">
          <item>Opomba pod črto.<note place="foot" xml:id="ftn1" n="1">
 Primer opombe pod črto.
</note></item>
          <item><ref target="http://nl.ijs.si/e-zrc/rtf2tei/">Spletna povezava</ref>.</item>
        </list>

Spodnji primeri se preslikajo v element <hi>, pri čemer je način oblikovanja izražen kot vrednost atributa @rend.

<hi rend="italic">Pomembno</hi>: spremenjeni tisk ne sme zajemati celotnega besedila odstavka oz. alineje; vsaj končno ločijo ali presledek mora biti v privzetem zapisu.

        <list type="unordered">
          <item>Primer <hi rend="italic"> 	<hi rend="italic">Ležeči tisk.</hi></item>
          <item>Primer <hi rend="ul">	<hi rend="underline">Podčrtano besedilo.</hi> </item>
          <item>Primer <hi rend="bold">	<hi rend="bold">Krepko besedilo</hi>.</item>

          </row>

          <anchor xml:id="Toc317600613"/>Uporaba kazala

Za daljša besedila je lahko koristno uporabiti Wordovo kazalo (Vstavi / Reference / Navzkrižne reference / Kazalo), ki nam pokaže, ali je besedilo pravilno strukturirano po poglavjih oz. razdelkih. Kazalo se v TEI ne ohrani, vendar se ponovno avtomatsko generira v obliki HTML.

Kazalo za pričujoče besedilo:

          <divGen type="toc"/>

Those born under the influence of the number 30 incarnate to be of service to souls who are ailing and in need of help.
Number 30 is a blend of the energies and attributes of the number 3 and number 0. Number 3 carries the energies of communication and self-expression, spontaneity and charisma.


We knew we had a big problem on our hands when our 12-year-old son ransacked our house looking for the stash of unwrapped Christmas presents. To keep our nosy teenager from finding the baseball bat and guitar we bought him, we decided we had to go out of the house — and into a self-storage unit — to hide the gifts until Christmas Eve.
Around the holidays, these sentiments are echoed throughout the minds of just about every parent. The storage units typically used to store business and household items are becoming temporary outposts for adults to hide and wrap gifts for kids and big-ticket items like televisions or bicycles for spouses. In Temecula, Vail Ranch Self-Storage & Postal Center bills their smaller units as "Santa's Workshops."
Vail Ranch Self Storage & Postal Center is gathering toys for 'Toys for Tots.' The annual gift- and money-raising program for needy families is now underway.
Vail Ranch Self Storage, Inc. is once again supporting the United States Marine Corps' annual Toys for Tots campaign, which entails dropping off new, unwrapped Christmas presents for children. The Drop off site is at Vail Ranch Self Storage & Postal Center located at 43980 Mahlon Vail Road, Temecula, CA 92592.


On-going evangelism fishing trips Thurday evenings - 5:30 p.m. Contact Roy or Roger for more information.
We need you to come help us.
2. Someone(s) need to man the booth/table and be available to hand out tracts or conduct the surveys or hand out water . . .
3. Someone needs to take down the booth at 9 pm . . . taking our table and canopy away for the following week.
Will you help? Will you pray for this and the people we will meet?
If you are able to help with the cost, we are only paying $10/week for this opportunity but I am quickly expending our evangelism budget as God keeps giving us more opportunity. The fair runs weekly into October so we could be doing this for nearly 6 months if we wish.


I realize you need to get into mobile web design apps. Now, with all the uplifting news about applications and their prosperity, everyone needs to design apps.
We have some uplifting news and some awful news here, conceivably all uplifting news relying upon your viewpoint. Uplifting news: you, at last, have every one of the devices to make your very own application!
Ordinary, the innovation and devices to make applications are winding up more effectively open and easier to understand. Terrible news: you are by all account not the only one who knows this.
Individuals everywhere throughout the world are leaving on their first application making ventures. Be that as it may, no stresses, there is all the more uplifting news: all that you have to know to plan the ideal application is ideal here.
The mobile app industry is greater and over and above anyone's expectations. Each business, from games establishments to markets are hoping to plan a portable application. Also, what customer doesn't need their most loved group or their shopping list in right in their pocket?
With mobile app planning, you are accountable for the look and feel of the item, and the connection between application and client. Knowing this, the conceivable outcomes are huge. Be that as it may, with such a great amount of space for progress, there is likewise a ton of space for mistake.
Let's investigate the best things to remember when structuring applications, from research to working with creating groups.
Before we investigate the examination part of making an application, take one moment to praise yourself. Congrats! You are going to set out on a voyage that is exceptionally fun, somewhat troublesome, and amazingly fulfilling.
The old precept says, compose what you know. This applies to application structuring. On the off chance that you are anticipating turning into an application planner a decent initial step is to be an application client.
As an application client, you will begin to realize what you like and don't care for in an application, similar to which text styles look the best and which formats are least demanding to utilize.
Mobile app design configuration is unique in relation to planning sites or online applications, yet you realize that – at this point, you are a productive application client and an over the top cell phone proprietor, isn't that so?
You realize that versatile applications are engaged. They are explicit. They are people. They are separate. Keep this in mind when you are planning your application.
Something else to remember is that mobile applications are new! As are the stages they are utilized on, advanced mobile phones. Keeping over the new developments in the realm of advanced cells will put you on the ball in the structuring scene, causing your application to be simply the most up to date, shiniest adaptation.
Likewise, finding out about the official rules for plan, the iOS Human Interface Guidelines or Android User Interface Guidelines, is definitely not an awful thought.
For what reason would you say you are doing this and how are you going to do it? These are two overwhelming, yet totally vital, questions you should solicit yourself toward the start from your application structuring process.
For what reason would you say you are doing this? What are you achieving by structuring an application? Is it an advertising or marking move? It is to increase additional income channels? Is it essentially a versatile variant of your online nearness or item? You have two objectives.
First to plan an application, second for the application to create something, regardless of whether it be cash, dialog, or comfort. In the event that you have plainly as a primary concern the last objective amid the planning procedure, the item will be increasingly compelling.
How are you going to make an application? Composing a rundown of errands that must be finished so as to make your application is very useful. Having a motivation and an arrangement to mark off each thing on your rundown is the most effective approach in making your application.
Likewise, consider who will be utilizing your application. In the event that you consider your application from your point of view as a creator and the crowd's viewpoint as clients, you will make an application with which the two sides are upbeat.
Seeing what you are up against is constantly shrewd, paying little heed to whether you are in a clash of the groups or a cooking rivalry. On account of portable applications, there is a wide range of destinations, discussions, and strings for clients to express feelings about applications.
Examining these destinations and remark areas for a couple of hours can give you a great picture of what is available, and in addition what the clients wishes was available. Knowing your client's inclinations previously, you can even start to structure the application, sparing you a ton of time altering it later.
Obviously, the client is in every case right, however, don't trust the internet. Watch and learn. Download a few applications, consider what they got right and what you would do another way.
As recently referenced, you are going into a colossal, dynamic, and youthful field.
With a great many applications being made each day, there is continually something new. The famous expression, "There's an application for that", didn't grow all of a sudden.
The measure of applications and things that they do is amazing. You need to be distinctive and receptive. Be remarkable and usable.
Visual motivation is a vital piece of this. It is additionally a way that you could leave your very own blemish on the whole business. Consider the signals that exist on cell phones.
The strategies used to complete stuff on our telephones is always advancing. Consider what doesn't exist yet. Your mantra ought to be, "What is the most common approach to complete this." Double tapping? Swiping? Composing?
Keep in mind: motivate yourself yet don't take. You will take in a lot and endlessly enhance your application by seeing what is now out there.
Time to put such research to use! Consider every one of the things you encountered utilizing applications and the majority of the remarks, concerns, and recommendations of the clients that you have perused.
Presently, remembering this, how would you need your application to look? To feel? To be utilized? Either by portraying or utilizing Photoshop, begin to structure the application.
This piece of the procedure can be troublesome and tedious. Keep in mind: Time invested here is energy spared later.
After you have a dream for your mobile app plan, one that you have put on paper or on your hard drive, the time has come to assemble the bones of your application. There are numerous prototyping applications you can utilize, simply make certain to utilize one that is good with the interface you are planning for. Ensuring that the fundamental segments of your application are useful is essential for clear reasons.
Making a solid center will guarantee that your application is a joy to use, rather than an issue. Distinctive drafts or forms of your application will be important, so beginning with the essentials will make the majority of your renditions usable, if not impeccable.
On the off chance that the overlooked details are the main problem, so is the blessed messenger. A delightful complement or a classy textual style will help your application to stand out in a gigantic market. The easily overlooked details matter; they can represent the moment of truth an application.
Exploring your application ought to be simple. On the off chance that clients can't discover what they're searching for, they won't get the full application encounter. Instinctive use should take point of reference over style. Removing a page from the books of Google, Bing, or other famous web crawlers is certainly not an awful thought.
Experienced application fashioners all concur, route isn't a component to be incredibly inventive with. Add individual flare to ordinary seeking frameworks, don't make a framework that clients should learn.
This is a standout amongst the most critical parts of structuring an application. On the off chance that your content is hard to peruse or your textual style is difficult to take a gander at, your application will be difficult to utilize.
Spaces among lines and words are imperative to nail, particularly with portable applications where the space is constrained. You need to ensure you are augmenting your space without cramping your content.
Experienced application planners all concur, you can make it workable for the customer to pick the content yet despite everything you need to make the textual styles look extraordinary.
It's everything the greater if your customers get choices with regards to text style. Be that as it may, paying little heed to whether you incorporate text style settings in your plan, make it clear, make it a la mode, and make it coordinate.
In the event that you are in any way similar to me, this is the fun part! Selecting the ideal hues to supplement your structure is fun and essential. Such a large number of hues can be diverting or confounding. Experimenting with various plans is the most ideal approach to test your shading plan.
You unquestionably need to ensure that your hues aren't conflicting and that your content is unmistakable over your experience. Experienced application originators will let you know, toning it down would be best with regards to hues.
So your thought is excellent, your plan is wonderful, the hues are impeccably organized and the content is the ideal text style and size-now what? You need to ensure that your application is worked for a real individual to utilize is the thing that.
Testing out your application on gadgets that the application will be utilized on is staggeringly imperative to guarantee that the client will get the most extreme satisfaction and profitability from your plan.
The subtleties are imperative. Would you be able to reach every one of the keypads with one hand? Great. Be that as it may, would you say you are blocking critical data with your other hand while you type?
Furthermore, similarly as vitally, will the application still look incredible on a more seasoned or substandard model than the gadget that you are utilizing to test your model on. Ensuring that the majority of your clients can encounter the full loftiness of your application is a key part in being effective.
Since you know every one of the nuts and bolts of structuring mobile apps, go and make your perfect work of art! The portable application stage is a phenomenal one to plan in, with such huge numbers of choices and openings.
As a separating tip, working intimately with the engineer of your application is dependably a smart thought. Something else, your versatile application configuration will awe just at a structure level.
You need to ensure that your application is actually how you imagined it, in the entirety of its magnificence and greatness.
Working for a considerable length of time on an application just to have the designer flip your venture on its head is never fun. So in spite of the fact that this last piece of the procedure might be dull, it is the most astute approach to accomplish the ideal last item.

U.S. Cotton Needs Viable Government Partnership to Meet Stiff International Trade Competition
For the U.S. cotton industry to meet some of the stiffest competition it has ever faced, it needs a U.S. government partnership for help in securing markets against sometimes unfair international competitors, NCC International Trade Policy Committee Chairman Robert Weil, II told the House Subcommittee on Specialty Crops and Foreign Agriculture Programs.
WASHINGTON, DC – For the U.S. cotton industry to meet some of the stiffest competition it has ever faced, it needs a U.S. government partnership for help in securing markets against sometimes unfair international competitors, a National Cotton Council official said here today.
Robert Weil, II, chairman of the NCC's International Trade Policy Committee, told the House Subcommittee on Specialty Crops and Foreign Agriculture Programs that the upcoming farm bill provides that panel "the opportunity to reassert itself and fill an ever-widening void being created as the U.S. government appears to retreat in the face of international competition and the self-serving demands of our competitors."
The Montgomery, AL, cotton merchant said U.S. cotton needs to export more than 50 percent of the 2001 crop to prevent the industry from slipping even further into serious economic depression. He said domestic mill use of cotton is expected to fall 3 million bales from the 1997 level while the U.S. crop likely will be similar to the past two years, "meaning we will have to find a home in foreign markets for an additional 2 to 3 million bales of cotton or see our carryover levels soar."
"Congress has provided many tools to assist agricultural exports," Weil testified. "However, the viability of these programs is being threatened and their potential is not being fully realized."
As examples, Weil noted that Foreign Market Development program funding has failed to keep pace with inflation; Market Access Program funding has fallen by 55 percent since 1992 despite its clear positive impact; the export credit guarantee program – the most cost-effective – has been offered up by U.S. trade negotiators in return for no significant concessions by any competitors; and the Administration has chosen to classify supplemental market loss assistance payments as subject to World Trade Organization (WTO) limits.
Weil said one of the most significant influences on the U.S. cotton market is cotton textile imports, which have taken half of the U.S. cotton textile retail market and are rising.
"The most surprising fact in this sad story is that recent productivity gains in the U.S. textile industry have been surpassed only by the U.S. electronics and computer industries – yet the bankruptcies are accelerating," he said.
Regarding exchange rates, Weil told the panel that: 1) the U.S. dollar's strengthening – almost 34 percent relative to the currencies of primary export market competitors – has put U.S. cotton producers at a severe disadvantage, 2) the U.S. cotton industry – compared to other agricultural products – is uniquely vulnerable to the effects of an appreciating dollar through its impact on imports of cotton textile and apparel products and 3) the dollar's strong appreciation has significantly lowered the price of foreign-produced textiles and apparel in the U.S. market, increasing the competitive advantage of foreign textile firms at the expense of U.S. spinning mills and textile enterprises.
In his testimony, Weil also discussed the NCC's trade policy priorities: 1) maintaining cotton's competitiveness provisions included in U.S. farm law and continuing farm policy that enables the industry to produce a competitively-priced product; 2) maintaining and strengthening effective export assistance programs; 3) effective implementation of existing regional trade arrangements to enhance the overall competitiveness of the U.S. textile sector; (4) working to monitor China's compliance with the WTO agreement with the U.S.; (5) ensuring that regional trade arrangements currently being negotiated are favorable to U.S. cotton and cotton textiles; and (6) working for a new agreement in the WTO that improves the competitive position of the U.S. cotton and textile industries.
"We need trade policy that ensures our raw product is competitive, that opens markets for both raw cotton and U.S.-produced cotton textiles and that ensures the terms of competition are fair," Weil said.
The Memphis-based National Cotton Council of America's (NCC) mission is to ensure the ability of all U.S. cotton industry segments to compete effectively and profitably in the raw cotton, oilseed and manufactured product markets at home and abroad.
NCC: Disaster Relief Package Is Vital The National Cotton Council greatly appreciates Congress and the Administration for their support and approval of long-awaited and much needed disaster and recovery assistance for those farmers who were devastated by Hurricanes Florence, Michael and other natural disasters in 2018 and early 2019. USDA January Production Report In its January Annual crop report, USDA estimated a 2018-19 U.S. crop of 18.39 million bales. NCC Welcomes Continued Access to Dicamba The National Cotton Council (NCC) welcomes the decision released yesterday by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that allows cotton producers continued access to Dicamba herbicide. Congress Calls on Administration for Economic Assistance for Cotton Producers A large, bipartisan block of 135 Senators and Representatives sent letters to President Trump today strongly urging the Administration's support, through USDA, to operate the Cotton Ginning Cost Share Program effective for the 2016 crop year and on an ongoing basis.

In the run up to Easter, the price wars between supermarkets have already began - to the point where shops are running out. Selling from as little as 99p, this means they are cheaper on a pound-to-weight ratio than normal chocolate bars, and retailers have been quick to jump in and capitalise on this.
A time when chocoholics can spoil themselves and indulge their sweet tooth, the competition to offer the cheapest price for Easter eggs is so strong that discounts have encouraged an unexpected level demand. The result? A potential nationwide shortage. Asda have stopped selling eggs to online shoppers due to a shortage of stock, while Tesco ran out of several brands of chocolate eggs, including Cadbury's, Nestlé and Lindt.
We at Competitor Monitor have had a closer look at some of the costs and the effects this is having on the availability of the confectionery.
On average, Morrisons cut the price of branded eggs by 7.3%, forcing the other supermarkets to take its lead.
Costs decreased by 0.4% for Asda.
Cadbury's, the major driver of growth across Easter last year, are 4.4% cheaper in supermarket chains.
Kitkat and Smarties (both Nestlé) are down by 4.2%.
Own-brand eggs are 6% cheaper on average.
The Co-Operative has launched its own line of Easter eggs, available at £5 each.
Thorntons is selling Easter hampers for half price online.
We found it interesting at Competitor Monitor that even food brands you wouldn't think would give Easter much thought are jumping on the bandwagon. Marmite and Pot Noodle eggs have hit the shelves at the major supermarkets and luxury retailer Fortnum and Mason even created a dark chocolate scotch egg with venison inside, a nod to their invention of the iconic snack.
We predict that prices won't stay low for long. Cocoa prices have continued to rise over the last few years due to demand for confectionery increasing in emerging markets. Not only that, but the supermarket price wars also resulted in the price of milk to be pushed below the cost of bottled water.
As a result this has angered dairy farmers who blame supermarkets for pressuring them to reduce their income. As we know very well at Competitor Monitor when keeping track of prices across various industries; when one is in favour of customer's wallets, another one has to suffer.

You Must Change Your Life
Tradition Invented

In the Land of the Fluffy Snow
The Wisdom of Jesus and the Yoga Siddhas
Every one of us can live a better life. With peace of mind, in the rhythm of the universe, and with a sense of order. We've known that for the past 99 years. That is, since a certain Indian monk landed in Boston and infatuated a feverish America.
Read in 18 minutes
The 'City of Sparta' was the first ship to sail from Bombay to Boston after World War I. It left in the summer of 1920, with a cargo of jute and tea, along with 61 passengers. They included British students, missionaries, businessmen, tourists, two Armenians rescued from the genocide in Turkey, and 11 Hindus. One of them was a man with long hair dressed in a traditional, ochre-coloured outfit. His name, Mukunda Lal Ghosh, was entered into the passenger list along with an incorrect date of birth. At the time, he was 27, not 25, as the officer had hammered out on the typewriter. The 'Profession' column had quite an intriguing entry: "governing brahmin" (although he was born into the kshatriya, the military caste), and next to it a handwritten note: "professor". One more category was also added: "English-speaking subject of the British Queen". His nationality, "Bengali", was crossed out and corrected to "Eastern Hindu". The following information was also noted: "Not liberal, save in matters of religion".
This seems logical enough, as he was on his way to the Congress of Religious Liberals as the official representative of Hinduism.
The Swami from India
From these few little peculiarities, it's easy to understand how for the Euro-Atlantic world, with its tables and definitions, Mukunda was an issue from the very start. Indeed, to this day, we have not been able to fully express in our own words (and this text will be no exception) who this Indian pilgrim was who had come with the mission of building a bridge between the East and West. Such a fusion seems quite natural in this day and age. It could even be perceived as a trivial, well-travelled path that Europeans and Americans follow to the numerous yoga and meditation centres in moments of metaphysical doubt and personal crisis. But 100 years ago, the thought of a global teaching of awakening the mind and aligning the body with the energy of the cosmos was a pioneering move for us; one that required courage.
The idea emanated in times when India was deeply divided by a caste hierarchy and socially conflicted by the colonial rule of 'divide and conquer', Europe was falling into fascist madness, while in America racial prejudice was the order of the day and the Ku Klux Klan marched in its streets. A common model of thinking was popular on both sides of the Atlantic, which Rudyard Kipling expressed in a single sentence: "East is East, and West is West".
After 48 days at sea, each one spent with a feeling of solitude and general 'unknowningness', Mukunda entered the port in Boston. A photojournalist from the Boston Globe photographed the newcomer. The black-and-white photo appeared on 20th September 1920 on page 7 of the paper. It portrayed a man – his body wrapped in robes and an impressive turban on his head – wearing specially tied knee socks and leather Oxford shoes, with long hair, but clean-shaven. He had gotten rid of his beard on the ship, most likely on the advice of fellow passengers, who knew what a sensation he would be even without it. On the photo, Mukunda has a gentle smile. Below the photo was a caption: "The Swami from India".
'Swami' is an honourable title for a clergyman, the equivalent of a 'monk', although in Hinduism, being a monk does not necessarily mean spending your life in a formal monastery (just like there are no institutionalized Hindu churches). Rather, it means being a member of a line of clergymen, being obedient to many generations of gurus and their teachings, as well as leading a life in spiritual discipline, accompanied by sacrifices and moral obligations. In other words, pursuing a spiritual mission without the supervision of a religious organization.
The Swami won the hearts of reporters by greeting them in fluent English. There wouldn't be anything terribly strange in this (many Hindus studied at colleges established by the British), if it weren't for the fact that, many years later, Mukunda claimed that he actually did not know a word of English when he boarded the ship. In the book The Autobiography of a Yogi, he writes that when he was asked to present a lecture for his fellow passengers, he was so stressed at first that he couldn't say a thing. To his aid came a vision of his guru Sri Yukteswar, whose call, only heard by Mukunda, was: "Speak!" That's how the monk, overcome by linguistic complexes, would in that brief moment become a seasoned speaker. This was one of the events that he would later refer to as a miracle. Likewise, he considered as an act of higher force the fact that he had received the invitation to the congress in Boston from an Indian clergyman whom he had met by accident and who, as it turned out, could not go himself. While still on board the ship, Mukunda collected a handful of business cards and invitations to speak in various American cities.
He stayed at the YMCA on Huntington Avenue, rode the subway with zeal, and carefully selected his meals in the cafeteria to suit his vegetarian diet. At the beginning, he kept to bread and milk. He would walk around, full of curiosity, yet he experienced hostility right away. He would be stared at, ridiculed and insulted, and various objects would be thrown at him. Once some girls in a street car tugged at his hair, thinking he was dressed up for Halloween. To give himself a break, he would sometimes wear European clothes and pull his hair back.
Although no notes have been found to confirm this, colliding with a world in which diversity fuelled prejudice must have been a shock for him. Mukunda came to America from India. Even though it was economically stratified, full of poverty and ever strongly immersed in the Hindu-Muslim conflict, India was a country that respected diversity. On the shores of the Ganges, the multitude of lifestyles did not cause controversy, as the co-existence of contradictions is the essence of Hinduism.
He came to the West with that very message: of unity as the essence of life manifested in many ways. The Americans were a young nation moulded from people representing a variety of communities, beliefs and cultures. They were only just beginning to experiment with equality and giving others the right to co-exist in freedom. Meanwhile, Mukunda was representing a tradition spanning thousands of years. One that preaches an understanding of one God, but a God that does not exclude anyone or anything. He is everything and everywhere, in every single person.

That was also what he spoke about at the Congress of Religious Liberals. Instead of presenting a set of dogmas, he conveyed universal ideas that he referred to as the "science of the soul". The scientific approach was an important element of his speeches, and was the terminology he would use while working in the US and other countries over the next three decades. On the one hand, he understood the esteem that knowledge had been enjoying in the West since the period of the Enlightenment. He was well versed in biology, anatomy and physiotherapy, and was up to speed on the latest findings in physics, as well as the fledgling realm of psychology.
On the other hand, though, he proposed a different understanding of science. For followers of Hinduism – or from a wider perspective, the philosophy of the East – that which was experienced was considered to be the truth, rather than what could be rationally confirmed. So if we assume that religion is the awareness of the presence of God, then, Mukunda argued, there is only one religion and one God. The young monk suggested that reality should be perceived as a Maya (or a multicoloured illusion); a type of shimmering cloth which masks the truth that energy is the only thing that exists.
The truths that he was declaring fell upon a certain 'moment of peculiarity', or the intellectual acceleration at the beginning of the roaring 1920s. While any deliberations concerning energy could have been easily rejected just a moment earlier, the development of physics, Einstein's research, and the discovery that the world is in fact made up of atoms – which are both matter and energy at the same time and are constantly in motion and under tension – led to a stunning coupling effect. The old truths of the East began to take on the form of proven scientific evidence in the West. An opportunity appeared for these notions to meet, though they were conveyed using different languages.
This tendency affected not only ordinary people, for whom the finale of the Belle Époque – which had been suffocating on poisonous gas and drowning in rotting trenches – became an impetus that forced them to redesign their thinking, and redirected them onto the path of exploration. An encounter of Eastern and Western philosophy was being observed at the highest level of thought as well. Carl Gustav Jung wrote that the East had much to offer for people in a mentally-shattered Europe, and indeed saw an opportunity in linking scientific notions with knowledge of the soul. Albert Einstein was close friends with Rabindranath Tagore – the 'Bengali da Vinci', winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, an ingenious poet, singer and thinker. He founded a pioneering university in India that merged scientific thought from both sides of the world. To this day at Shantiniketan, the school of free thinking situated in a village near Kolkata, students indulge in a mix of academic knowledge and physical and spiritual activity, all this while in the open air, in the shade of trees, with a healthy posture and full awareness of their breathing.
Mukunda met Tagor (they had in fact lived close to each other in northern Kolkata) in New York's intellectual Greenwich Village, full of yogis, artists and singers. Mukunda was a child of the Bengali renaissance – an artistic awakening that came to be in the area of Kolkata (former Calcutta, the capital of British India, and also the most important intellectual centre on the subcontinent), spanning the spiritual sphere, education, culture and language, as well as social liberation. It created a base that would challenge the caste hierarchy and call for the recognition of Indian cultures as equal and in co-existence with other intellectual trends in the world.
It was this very prophecy – creating the link between the spiritual East and the material-anchored West – that Mukunda's spiritual gurus, Sri Yukteswar in Varanasi and his other deceased masters, had instilled in him. It was them that the young monk was supposed to have seen in his visions as shining figures speaking to him. He was their missionary in America, a land flung into a frenzy of rampant growth and reckless investing and buying, yet seeking salvation.

Prohibition was introduced in the US, and illegal clubs blossomed where jazz was played and the Charleston was danced. Cities were marked by their constant rush and the relentless quest for money. Manhattan and Chicago were climbing higher thanks to state-of-the-art technology: structural steel, elevators and electricity. 'The sky is the limit' was the motto of those days – indeed, ambitions and dreams knew no bounds. A spirit of mobility was in the air, as automobiles and telephones opened the door to travel, communication and transactions on a scale unheard of before. Imposing fortunes were growing. A new sexuality, fashion and art were erupting. Women could vote or go to psychoanalysis sessions, and anybody could earn money and believe in what they wanted. Appearing right in the middle of this resonant melting pot was a Hindu yogi calling for the complete opposite. He would say: "Where motion stops, God enters."
The Super Guru
Many years later, the Los Angeles Times declared Mukunda, known to the world by his holy name of Paramahansa Yogananda, as the first celebrity Super Guru of the 20th century. You can just imagine the gentle smile with which the spiritual master responded to such recognition. But he wouldn't have earned that nickname if he hadn't put so much hard work into it. As the first guru and yogi, he created a global empire of followers, a type of matrix for those who followed, like Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and the transcendental meditation movement, or the Ramakrishna movement, which started off low-key but then gained in popularity. Yogananda was the first to establish a network of spiritual improvement centres, courses, correspondence study programmes, and publications. To this day, people in 175 countries practice his teachings. There are around 500 centres modelled on the ones he founded 100 years ago in Ranchi, India and Mount Washington, New Hampshire. How did he achieve that?
In addition to a scientific perspective – the language of reason and research – Yogananda consistently applied other approaches, which made it easier for people of the West to look at him as a common-sense authority, and not one of those scammers who had been filling lecture halls and newspaper ads since the Great War. Namely, the Indian monk talked a lot about Christ. He tried to promote the 'original Christianity', or the early ideals that accompanied the followers of Christ when they were a young sect. These included equality, brotherhood, Jesus as the son of God (and therefore the unity of humans with God).
One of the ideals of Hinduism that is most difficult to convey is the aspect of full acceptance. While other monotheistic religions have an exclusionary character ("Thou shalt have no other gods before me...", "There is no god but Allah..."), Hinduism does not pay too much attention to religious form and practice. In fact, its followers can choose among their favourite gods. For example, Yogananda's family held Kali in high veneration. Kali was a good-natured, though violent goddess who fought off demons. In private rooms of prayer or on altars you will quite often find the Hindu Vishnu, Krishna, Ganesh or Saraswati. Set right next to them are figures of Buddha, Christ and… Bollywood stars. Yogananda believed that John the Baptist was the guru and spiritual teacher of Jesus, as well as the reincarnation of Elijah the Prophet.
What is considered in the West as sacrilegious or superstitious is accepted by Hinduism as one of the ways of understanding God. If people need His image – if it is easier for them to glorify the Spirit in the form of prophets or divinities – Hinduism has no issue with that. According to many Hindu schools of equal footing, there are a number of different paths to God, such as philosophical contemplation, spiritual sacrifices, yoga or deeds. Hinduism is the quintessence of freedom in our pursuit of the truth about the universe and our role in it. It perceives God as an ocean, while we are the waves submerged in it. Yet that particular perception of freedom still proves to be too wide of a proposal for many Westerners. It is still easy to reject as an 'all meaning nothing' offer. At the same time, we find it hard to accept that reality, the meticulously created material and emotional layer could be… without meaning.
A new theology
But let's come back down to Earth, or rather, the American earth in 1920. Yogananda was breaking new ground with his work. With the help of his first allies and students, he organized small meetings in Boston in the form of lectures. They were held in conference rooms where a handful of attendees would appear. For the next three years, the spiritual leader would live here and there – people would take him in, or he would stay at boarding houses.
He carefully listened to his surroundings and recognized the meaning of information, advertisement and money. His first ads appeared in newspapers, on the radio and on posters. In the press, he was usually classified in the 'Variety' or 'New Theology' section, along with ads about burlesques, vaudeville shows, film screenings or esoteric meetings. He would be introduced as an Indian clergyman, but also as a "famous psychologist and educator from Kolkata". He would manage to organize weekly meetings, have open lectures on Saturdays at 7.45pm, give lessons to interested students, and present physical and mental exercises for a small fee. The subject area of the lectures shows quite clearly that Yogananda fell into an interdisciplinary niche for which finding the adequate language was difficult. So he would talk about the "Law of Karma and Fate", teach "How to Control Your Life Forces", present the "Psychology of Success", or discuss the "Spiritual Christmas". He used terminology that bordered on spirituality, faith and something that we refer to today as 'coaching'.
Yogananda specialized in Kriya Yoga, an approach that concentrates on the ability to consciously control energy, or more precisely, the flow of energy in the body, up and down along the spinal cord. Yogananda remained loyal to the eight basic rules of yoga defined by the mythical guru Patanjali, who described yoga as life with a specific moral attitude combined with physical activity, which teaches you how to unite your body and soul, experience deep states of meditation, and experience a bond with all existence and God. Yogananda would direct the focus to energy 'management'. A set of exercises and practices that he had put together in India and popularized under the name of Yogoda would teach people how to fuel their bodies with energy taken from the environment and beyond by tensing and relaxing their muscles while consciously controlling their breathing.
This spiritual/physical activity was an element that would liberate people from the common Western conviction that the body and soul are separate. The act of recognizing the unity of the two, and experiencing the feeling that they are one, was the first step towards a much greater challenge: acknowledging the unity of the universe. The first American adept in Kriya Yoga was a doctor working in Boston, Minott Lewis, who had met Yogananda in a church on Christmas Eve, and experienced something that many of his students would talk or write about later. In the eyes of the guru, Lewis saw a kind of shining energy that he wanted to surrender himself to right then and there. That very evening, he declared that he would follow his spiritual master. In the months and years to come, the number of Yogananda's students and loyal companions would grow.
He gave his first big lecture in the spring of 1921 in the auditorium of a music conservatory. Crowds piled in even though that same evening, Toscanini was conducting the La Scala orchestra at the Boston Philharmonic next door. The first investment was made in 1922, when Alice Hasey donated a small plot of land and seasonal building in the town of Waltham, which meant that regular spiritual sessions could be organized in the outdoors. Hasey was the first in a long line of women who were exceptionally devoted to Yogananda, and who would donate small or quite impressive sums to his operation, additionally helping in the management of the centres. In 1922, Yogananda gained a key assistant. His close friend and companion in spiritual practice from his younger years, Dhirananda, sailed in from Kolkata. He would be his right-hand man for 15 years, managing the educational centres as well as the lecture tours spanning thousands of kilometres. He would remain a key associate until a scandal erupted, in which Dhirananda was accused of promiscuity and relations with married women, meaning that, in effect, Yogananda himself was accused of leading a spiritual harem. His right-hand man would all of a sudden demand compensation for years of missionary work, taking his master to court (though, as it turned out, Dhirananda had in fact misused enormous sums of money). After all of this, he would eventually return to India, get married, and set off on an academic career.

The popularity of Yogananda, an excellent speaker who knew how to use informal language and effectively combine it with old-fashioned concepts, and who with time enhanced his appearances with songs and music, was rapidly growing. Already in 1923, he was invited to give a series of lectures in New York. There, he applied a simple business model, which he would use for many years to come. His lectures were open, but the lessons would cost a fee. He would distribute brochures with an introduction to the basic assumptions of Kriya Yoga, but only students at higher levels of advancement would discover all its secrets. Yogananda started to publish books with prayers, instructions on concentration techniques, meditation and breathing, as well as 'energizing exercises', poems and songs. He quickly became popular among the Manhattan elite, and won them over by adapting the terminology and complexity of the exercises to the capabilities of his adepts.
He was criticized for this. In the US and India, he was accused of cynical and commercial behaviour, as well as of "vulgarizing yoga". Yogananda defended himself by consistently maintaining that his operations were not making anybody wealthy. A few years later, the activity was formalized as a non-profit organization. The role of the Self-Realization Fellowship was to promote Kriya Yoga, and the philosophy and exercises prepared by Yogananda. The master also transferred the rights to all his works to the fellowship. This included above all his autobiography, which is considered to be one of the most important and most popular books on spirituality of all time.
The Autobiography of a Yogi sold millions of copies in over 50 languages and contributed to the popularization of Yogananda's thoughts more than thousands of his lectures ever did. He published the autobiography in 1946, just as America was emerging from the post-World War II crisis. Increasingly, more money was being accumulated, and along with it, growing faith in the future, with many people yearning for inner revitalization. Two decades from its first release, the yogi's autobiography – which was written in an approachable manner and initially planned as a description of saints and inspiring people whom Yogananda had met throughout his life – fit the bill for the needs of the young counterculture generation, appalled by the war in Vietnam and seeking a new morality. George Harrison had a stack of these books at home; he would pass them out to guests, saying each time that if it weren't for Yogananda, he would be dead. Steve Jobs constantly read the book all through his life. Each person that came to the funeral of the technological guru in 2011 received a small black box that held a copy of the Autobiography of a Yogi.
The book contains descriptions of over 140 miraculous events. It is quite legitimately referred to as "the book that changed the lives of millions".
The gains from the autobiography supported the Fellowship. However, throughout most of his spiritual career, Yogananda had financial problems. He would take out loans and be late with payments. Although he was a recognized clergyman, signing the book contract took him over a year. In addition, the author had to buy out half of the edition himself.
Throughout the years, the balance on his bank account never exceeded $200. From the time he came to the US until the mid-1930s – the very bottom of the Great Depression, when nobody had a single cent for spiritual development – the guru constantly travelled. He lectured, he taught, he wrote. In the mid-1920s, together with his Muslim secretary Mohammed Rashid, he drove almost 5000 kilometres from the East Coast to teach in California. They went through the so-called Bible Belt – the conservative Central and Southern states. Accompanying them on their trip were two white students, whose presence was supposed to protect them from any possible racist attacks.
In Los Angeles, Yogananda found quite an audience. He called it the American Varanasi, or the 'centre of spirituality', where no idea was too radical and where everything that was strange was openly embraced.
It was also there that he settled down in the second half of the 1940s, near San Diego, setting up his retreat – a small room with a sprawling and spectacular view of the Pacific. Thanks to the generosity of his students, a spiritual centre was built there (a monastery for women was also established) alongside a church of All Religions. In the later period of his life, when he travelled and spoke publicly much less frequently, he became very fertile in his writing. He worked on a collection of motivational letters, songs, and a second important book called Whispers from Eternity, which was a volume of clarifications, prayers, and his spiritual credo.
He died in 1952, the same way as he had lived: consciously. From the reports of witnesses and biographers, we know that he felt quite precisely that his time had come – he spoke of it on the morning of his death. His condition was clearly worse, he had trouble moving, but he did manage to make it to a meeting with Indian diplomats and the Indian ambassador visiting California. He was on stage reciting a poem about his love for India when he suddenly collapsed and fell. The official cause of death was cardiac arrest.
He departed from this world, leaving behind a lively and widespread institution, which took on a shape more formalized than the monastery that he had joined as a mere 19-year-old boy, stubborn and independent. He quickly understood that nowadays "even the truth needs to move around in an organized manner". He educated his apprentices, so he himself could gradually withdraw from any contact with his surroundings. In that aspect, he was very much like his father, who after the untimely death of his wife when Mukunda was only a few years old, focused on Kriya Yoga. After work, he would lock himself up for hours on end and deeply meditate in solitude.
Retreats in the Himalayas
Having possibly been strongly influence by that model, the future five-year-old Yogananda would perform pujas (or prayer sacrifices). He would then meditate in the storeroom on the roof of his house in Kolkata, indifferent to the merciless heat and monsoon rains. Together with his friends, he set up the first Ashram (or spiritual centre) in the arbour of a messy property in his neighbourhood.
He didn't care about school. The only thing that forced him to finish elementary school, high school and college were the orders given by his father, and guru Sri Yukteswar. He was seldom present in class and got bored quickly, although he was mathematically talented, wrote poetry, was a great runner and played team sports. After school, he preferred to spend time on the banks of the Hooghly River, a branch of the Ganges, among the old gurus, whom he would ask never-ending questions. Then, after several hours of cleansing baths, he would walk along the edge, naked and buried in thought, until some outraged woman or shopkeeper would yell at him to cover himself up.
Even as a boy, he wanted to be a monk. His mother supported his dream. She had visions, believing that Mukunda survived the difficult birth thanks to the intervention of her guru. He gave her son a medallion, which, as she claimed, miraculously materialized in her hand. His father was less enthusiastic, and together with his older sons, tried to direct Mukunda onto the path of a bureaucratic family career. They would interrupt his arbitrary quests into the Himalayas, where he had intended to live in sacrifice among the sadhu, the pilgrimage sages. His brother would catch him at train stations or on trains, and take him back home.
Finally, his father gave in, giving Mukunda his blessing to become a swami. He let him leave for the monastery in Varanasi. He supported his son when he opened the first school of spiritual learning in Ranchi, which still operates to this day. In 1920, it was his father, a high-ranking employee of the British Indian railways, who helped him get a passport in a surprisingly short time and paid for a first-class cabin, suddenly made available by a certain passenger, on the 'City of Sparta' for the man in a bright turban.
When in 1935, Paramahansa Yogananda returned to India for the one and only time, he spent a year there, travelling in a Ford he had brought over from the US, visiting his beloved places as well as teaching. Everywhere he went, he was greeted by crowds of people who would decorate him with garlands. He enjoyed the status of a live saint, worshipped in a way usually reserved divine beings. The only person he would now bow down to, brushing the dust off his feet with devotion, was his father.
The memorial service after the death of Yogananda, according to whom faith was only a passage and a transition, took place on Mount Washington. During the ceremony, the body of the yogi was displayed in an open coffin, causing a wave of reports that he looked like a young boy. Music was played, and the ceremony was half Hindu, half Christian. Quotes from the Bible, the Vedas and the writings of Mahatma Gandhi were read. His remains are interred in the mausoleum of the Forest Lawn Memorial Park cemetery in Glendale, California.

we are happy to announce the next major release of our Eclipse-based tooling today: The Spring Tool Suite (STS) 3.1.0 and the Groovy/Grails Tool Suite (GGTS) 3.1.0.
Some of our users reported general performance issues with the new Eclipse Juno 4.2 platform that STS 3.0.0 shipped with. Most of these issues seem to be related to the underlying UI platform and its usage from various plugins and extensions. Since our goal is to provide the best possible user experience, we decided to provide two separate distributions for STS 3.1.0: one that is built on top of Eclipse Juno 3.8 and one on top of Eclipse Juno 4.2. People who have trouble using the 4.2-based version should try the 3.8-based distribution instead.
Detailed new and noteworthy notes can be found here: STS/GGTS 3.1.0 New & Noteworthy.
Updates from STS/GGTS 3.0.0 are available through the automatic "Check for Updates" again. Users of STS 2.9.x (or older) should start with a fresh installation of STS/GGTS 3.1.0.
The next version 3.2.0 is scheduled to arrive in March 2013, shortly after the Eclipse Juno SR2 release. Also watch out for milestone builds of 3.2.0 if you wanna stay up-to-date with the latest developments.

Everything You See was Once Someone's Thought — We impact the world when we help small businesses.
The sentence by itself is unassuming, but I sat in the passenger seat of the car and started to see what she meant. EVERYTHING, was once a thought in someone's head. From the light pole to the sign on a wall, they all started in a similar location. I'm not a deep thinker usually, but this subject was a fascinating look at the world around me.
She followed it up by connecting the thought to the power of the future. What the mind can conceive, the body can achieve. In her life, that meant to think about the future in a way that directed your action toward achieving the dream in your mind. Yep, pretty deep, but powerfully clarifying at the same time.
As a small business owner, you start with the end in mind. You see yourself being successful and the evidence of achievement surrounding you. For some it's a comfortable retirement, others want customers who hold them in high regard, and still some want to make their mark in the business annals of history. Regardless, we all start our businesses in the same place – an idea within our mind.
This had me thinking. Many small business owners never realize their initial dream for their business and end up settling for another outcome or failing all together. What separates the two individuals who ended up so different at the end of their careers? Did one keep their eyes on the ultimate dream and thus achieve it because they could visualize their success? I know it is not that simple, but it could be a prime contributing factor to success in small business.
In every success story I've heard, there is an element of focus and drive. As early as the 17th century, mathematicians had thought about creating a machine that could perform automated calculations. Later in the 19th and the 20th centuries, the idea was coupled with the logic of philosophy and the computer was born. Centuries of provoked thought led the men with the focus and drive to create the machine that ultimately changed the world. A machine that could make decisions and to leaders in the AI (artificial intelligence) industry, develop its own thoughts.
How does this impact the small business owner? I think it provides them with the opportunity to dream big and keep their business on a track that shapes their future. Every step forward leads to an enhanced idea by someone else connected to the original thought. The successful business owner who starts with the end in mind, sets the foundation for his world-changing idea to become a reality. His focus and drive inspire those who believe as he believes. The idea is the fuel for the small business owner's passion to create a future for themselves. Good news for us; society benefits from those who choose to pursue their idea. If you need inspiration, just look around. Everything man-made you see, was once just someone's thoughts.

Irish playwright and TV writer Alan Flanagan presents a series of short plays for Flanaganza, the latest of SLAM Theatre's 'Spotlight on the Writer' showcases. Opening with a bang we meet Tariq (Arin Nik), a Syrian refugee trying to get to London by partaking in a tawdry ITV 2 game show hosted by typically overzealous presenter, Kyle (Derek Murphy). Square One highlights Flanagan's astute observation of current affairs. Self-righteous and cruel, Kyle presents Tariq with a series of agonising life or death situations in order to determine if he can win his right to stay in the UK. With such a dark subject matter presented in an unsettling yet comical fashion, the audience braces themselves for what's to come.
Directed and produced by Dilek Latif, twelve actors take the audience through an eclectic mix of theatre. Six plays delving into the complications of human relationships experienced through surreal circumstances. What follows, however, is a series of unfocused shorts lacking strength of plot in order to make them worthy of audience investment. In The Twirling Venus Existential Freakout, astronaut Siobhan (Sydney Aldridge) being so willing to gamble her life, marriage and family to gather data from Venus' surface doesn't ring true. She risks everything all because her father didn't say "I love you" in the right way before she left. However, the stand out performance here is from Clark Alexander playing a robot housing five programmed characters from Siobhan's life on earth including her brash Scottish father. Alexander switches seamlessly between characters, expertly embodying each one.
Similarly, in A to Z, two linked monologues performed by Grace Cookey-Gam and Lainey Shaw lack the depth of plot required to convince the audience that two women have spent thirty years agonising over a drunken kiss they almost shared when they were eighteen and what might have been had they been brave enough. However, when Flanagan lands on a good plot, it sings. In the farcical comedy Repeat After Me an American scientist successfully builds a time machine in his home. But when the same ten seconds keep repeating for anyone who walks into his house including his wife stuck in a comical time loop returning for her coat, he's forced to admit the grim realities of his invention.
For all its deeply alluring ideas, Flanaganza doesn't quite capture the characters under the surface of some rather exposition heavy pieces. The skilful direction and talented performances carry it through. Otherwise it suffers as an aimless series of shorts lacking in the ability to engage empathy in its audience. One feels Flanagan has three elegantly crafted plays in Repeat After Me, Square One and He Loves Me Not ready for the stage, with a further three hastily written and under explored in order to fill the ninety minutes.
Flanaganza, SLAM, London. March 2017.
Originally hailing from the northern tranquility of leafy Lytham St Annes, at two years old, Amy and her family relocated to the south coast of Ireland to grow up by the sea. Finding life far too peaceful, spacious and relaxing, she moved to London in her adulthood to contribute to the ongoing overcrowding living experiment.
After ten years as a dog groomer, she went to university to gain her degree in her first love, writing. With a BA in Creative Writing and now working towards an MA in Scriptwriting at Goldsmith's University, her writing influences are a combination of her British heritage and Irish culture, along with her passion for comedy.
Her first feature film is a mockumentary comedy based on her experiences working in a luxury spa for pets. She is a sitcom obsessive with her comedy influences coming from both British and American sitcoms.
Life would be extremely enjoyable if she could eat doughnuts with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, her comedy heroes, every day.

The Dawn of Bio-Ammonia
Bio-engineering has set its sights on ammonia. If we could deliver ammonia-emitting microbes to the soil we might make ammonia fertilizer obsolete; on the other hand, if we could farm them, we might establish ammonia as a new, carbon-free algal biofuel.
Bio-Ammonia
Solar Ammonia
Bio-Ammonia for fertilizer or fuel (a tale of two bacteria)
Today, we saw probably the single most important announcement in the five years that I've been tracking sustainable ammonia production technologies.
Global ag-input giant Bayer and MIT-spin off Ginkgo Bioworks ("we design custom microbes") announced a USD $100 million investment to engineer nitrogen-fixing bacteria into seed coatings, potentially displacing ammonia from its fertilizer market.
On the other side of the world, in the Philippines, researchers are developing another use for another bacteria: industrial-scale algal ammonia synthesis. This would allow ammonia to become a carbon-free biofuel, creating a new and much, much, much bigger market for ammonia: no longer fertilizer but energy.

Optimizing technology pathways for Ammonia Fuel: production, transportation, and use
A paper has just been published by researchers in The Philippines who set out to determine the most environmentally benign way to produce, transport, and use ammonia as a fuel for vehicles.
This new work provides a detailed life cycle analysis of a broad range of ammonia technologies, evaluating both carbon and nitrogen footprints of each, and identifying the optimal "well-to-wheel" pathway. Their results support the idea that using ammonia for energy presents a safe and sustainable way to bring about the hydrogen economy.

I'm sure you've been told many times that you should not download apps from third party sites. Either download them directly from the company site or download them from a trusted site like Google Play Store. Now, however, it looks like you can't even be safe if you do that.
It's not like Google isn't trying. They claim that Google Play Protect scans and verifies over 50 billion apps a day on devices around the world. In addition, they claim that, "all Android apps undergo rigorous security testing before appearing in the Google Play Store. We vet every app and developer in Google Play, and suspend those who violate our policies. Then, Play Protect scans billions of apps daily to make sure everything remains spot on." Yet, that said, bad apps keep getting through, even though the percent that do so is low; according to Google, less than 1%. Nonetheless, 1% of 1 billion is still 10 million… just saying.
So there are a number of Potentially Harmful Apps (PHA) on Google Play at any one time. These vary in the degree of damage they can cause to visitors downloading from the site. The type of infection and its prevalence has been published by Google.
Notice that apps containing Trojans lead the way, and that's not good. These apps release malware that can quickly gain control of your device. These are often RATs (Remote Access Trojans) which enable hackers to control your device remotely. This means that criminals can turn on your camera and microphone, watch your browsing, see all of your passwords, and explore all of your files. They can upload anything they find to their own servers, if this is their goal.
It is good to keep in mind that not all apps are created equal. Some app categories are more easily infected than others. Recently, the three most infected categories are apps for Android updates, antivirus apps, and photo editing apps. Any app can be fake but these seem to sneak by Google's defenses more consistently than most.
Everyone, or mostly everyone, wants to get the latest version of Android as soon as possible. In fact, initial releases of the next version of Android, Android Q, are already being farmed out to developers. Expect to see fake apps promising you a chance to be the first to get this upgrade.
These fake apps generally just deliver nonstop ads. In addition, they will often give you a message saying that they will not be functional until you give them a 5 star rating. This is why you should not choose an app by the rating alone. Your best bet is to read the comments to see if any other users are having troubles.
The developers of this adware app make money by presenting ads to as many users as possible, however, they will not upgrade your version of Android. Here is a comment of one user of these upgrade apps.
These apps seem more invasive than most of the fake Android update apps. They purposely try to hide themselves on your device so that they will be difficult to remove. They will then direct you to phishing pages in an attempt to have you give up personal information. Occasionally, they will try to get you to pay for an app, like a special video player, that will never work. In addition, they will have you upload a photo that you want to have "beautified" to their servers. This will not happen and they will keep your photo, possibly, to make a fake social media account.
Here is a photo editing app I found as I was researching this topic. It has all the signs of being fake, though it tries to make itself look legitimate by copying some images from real photo editing apps.
There are many of these and they are among the most dangerous apps to download. The reason for this is that antivirus programs, by definition, have access to all the files on your device.
AV Comparatives recently tested 250 antimalware apps on Google Play. The company claimed that "we found the malware protection of almost 40% of the tested Android AV apps to be inappropriate." Of the 250 apps tested, 138 detected less than 30% of detectable malware. The 'detectable malware' was in the form of the 2000 most common malware threats of 2018. The inability of these apps to detect more than 30% of these samples qualified them as fake apps.
These fake antivirus apps can be broken into three categories; ineffective apps, adware apps, and malicious apps. Ineffective apps may work in principle, but they only detect a few samples of old malware. They are often designed by amateur developers who want to make some money, either by selling the apps directly or by offering up a platform for advertisers. Unfortunately, those who downloaded the app in the hopes of protecting themselves from malware have been duped.
Although Google has been removing these fake antivirus/antimalware apps at a rapid rate, they are continuing to find their way onto Google Play Store. Here is one I just found.
I would strongly suggest that Google make such links detectable by their Google Protect algorithm.
It is likely that far more than 1% of apps on Google Play are fake. I found a number of them without much effort. Once the fake app designers learn the secrets to avoiding detection, they can swamp the store with fake apps by simply changing the app's name and altering the developer information. The fact that certain categories have more fake apps than others simply means that the code that exists in these categories is easier to emulate. Other exploited categories will appear in the future. The reason Google Play is targeted is that it provides the scammers with a cloak of trust which they can use to get their malware downloaded onto numerous devices. So when downloading from Google Play Store don't assume that every app you see is inherently safe. It's always a good idea to proceed with caution.

Bon-Ton's Bankruptcy Judge Nixes Fee Request
There are now growing concerns that a liquidation could be more likely than not.
By Vicki M. Young on April 12, 2018
A Bon-Ton store.
With a bankruptcy court auction still set for Monday, the fate of The Bon-Ton Stores is even more uncertain than it was a few days ago when a group of landlords said they were willing to buy "substantially" all of the assets to keep the retailer afloat.
In a court document filed Monday, the retailer sought court approval to pay the consortium of investors — Namdar Realty Group, Washington Prime Group and DW Partners LP — a $500,000 "work fee" so the parties can keep discussions ongoing as they try to finalize an agreement to acquire Bon-Ton and keep it operating as a going-concern. Bidders typically ask the court for a fee so they can cover the costs of their due diligence. On Wednesday, a bankruptcy court denied the request, throwing a wrench in the retailer's plans. It remains to be seen whether the investor group will still make a bid at auction. Even if a bid had been firmly in place, there was always the chance that the offer could fall short should a better one be placed during the auction. But without a bid acting as the so-called "stalking horse," the odds are growing that a liquidation of the company could be the end result.
The investor group is believed to be the only option for the bankrupt retailer to emerge as a going concern. Others are said to be interested in just certain assets such as a group of store locations, or in a liquidation of the company.
Bon-Ton filed its voluntary Chapter 11 petition in February in a Delaware bankruptcy court. At the time, the retailer said a group of hedge funds that own some of the debt had been pushing for a liquidation of the company. The group of debt holders is believed to be working with liquidation firms to submit bids that would shutter the business.
The retailer has more than 22,700 employees and about 250 stores in operation across 23 states. It operates under the nameplates Bon-Ton, Bergner's, Boston Store, Carson's, Elder-Beerman, Herberger's and Younkers.

Carolinas HealthCare System and Novant Come Together for the Community
05.09.2017 Atrium Health News
Carolinas HealthCare System and Novant Health have embarked on a first-of-its-kind initiative to improve access to healthcare in Charlotte's underserved neighborhoods.
Gene Woods, President and CEO of CHS, and Carl Amato, President and CEO of Novant Health, note that while their two systems compete on one level, it is increasingly important to combine resources to tackle the challenges ahead.
Research has shown that African-American and Latino populations in Charlotte, like those across the country, are more likely to suffer from both chronic and acute disease, and in the face of these diseases, have less positive outcomes. As the two largest healthcare providers in this region, it is our responsibility to be a part of the solutions to these issues.
The two health systems have come together to change this trajectory by gathering a coalition that includes businesses, nonprofits, physicians and health teams, government agencies, community leaders and grassroots organizations. Working collectively, solutions will address not only medical care, but also the social determinants that can dramatically effect a community's health and wellbeing.
"We have a shared responsibility," says Woods, "to improve the lives of people in the community's most vulnerable populations. Making the necessary changes will require a strong commitment from organizations throughout the public and private sectors, working together as true partners."
