Ifeoluwa Tryphena Olatayo is a budding entrepreneur.
What spurred you into this business?
How is the patronage for the product?
It's very encouraging. We supply about 15 major super markets in Ibadan and we are now in Lagos. We are at Balogun market in Lagos and also Oke-Arin in Lagos. We supply our goods to distributors that can help us sell to the masses. We are trying to get our products to big retail stores like Spar and Shoprite.
I studied English Language at University of Ibadan. I was nominated for the award of excellence in agriculture and MSME of the year in the just concluded Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) awards organised by the Office of the Vice President.
How do you think the MSMEs awards can help spur entrepreneurs in Nigeria?

We are a team of 15 people. We have a factory and we have our retail stores where we sell our products.
How do you see this business in the next few years?
I see our business as a household name in over one million homes. We want to be able to export our products to other West African countries.

What do you want to know about scouting?
I'm always looking for ways to share more helpful information about basketball scouting.
I've published a number of resources for how to get started in scouting and what some of the "big ideas" in the field are.
In the spring of 2017, I taught an online class called Basketball Scouting Crash Course to a group of 25 students who included people who work in college and professional basketball.
Now, I'd like to know how I can help even more.
Please do me a favor and fill out the short one-question survey below.
I'll keep you posted on what I'm working on.
Hello, after one has started their scouting career, the next roadblock is always how to become known. My biggest challenge has and continues to be how do I let people know that I'm a Scout!? Unless you get a job with a major firm or team, you are freelance and its hard to swim in that river of "evaluators, coaches or try to scout and recruit also.." This would be great information.
You vocalized a big part of the challenge. It's hard to get noticed.
The most important thing is to show up and do the work. It helps if you can maintain a public portfolio of some sort, whether it's a free blog you update or something else.
And it depends on what level of play you scout. If you're evaluating low level high school players, you're in a totally different market than if you're swimming in NBA waters. Which market you're in determines whose attention you're trying to get.
I'm going to write more about this soon. Thanks again for your question.

Swinging on the Town Tree
February 21, 2017By: thelattedogofficialNo comments
"He did it, I just know it," someone in the crowd said.
"He is most definitely guilty, no questions about it," another person said.
"How could he do something like that to someone like her."
"He dares claim that nothing ever happened."
"He lies!"
These were the sounds of the worn, old cabin on the left side of the Town Tree. They stood on the opposite side of another worn, old cabin that rests on the right. If one didn't live there, one would have thought the cabins were one in the same, which they essentially were. They both had similar creaky boards on the sides and roofs, they both had the windows in the same place, and they both had a lamp hanging on the door. The only differences between the cabins were that they were on the other sides of the town and they both hated each other. The left cabin loathed everything about them and the cabin on the right was more than happy to return that, for their hatred for each other was the only thing they could share.
The town was in the middle of a sandy, windy desert with no other settlements as far as the eye could see. During the hot days, the town would be bustling like a dog being misled with fake throws of a ball. There was a dusty pathway that led into town, right in the middle of the two creaky cabins, with people who lived on either side of the pathway. There was only one house that didn't take a side. This small house stood strong at the end of the pathway, watching, as both sides fight.
A knock was at the door of the left cabin. A knock that the people inside were expecting. One of the members eagerly answered the door to a man with fresh clothes and a blue jeweled ring. He wore a black vest over a blue buttoned-up shirt, along with pressed khaki pants. He appeared a tall, strong man who towered over nearly everyone. His presence contained an air of certainty. He was confident in whatever he said, and would let it spread through the room as if it was absolute truth.
"I have news for all you lovely people," he said to the people of the old, dirty cabin. He then proceeded to extend his left hand, palm open. "If you may, please."
A shuffling traveled through the cabin, up to the blue-ringed man. That person made himself visible among the crowd, wearing a worn blue shirt and ripped khaki pants and carrying a tattered, yet full, sack. He proceeded to put the bag into the blue jeweled man's waiting hand.
"Alright," the blue-ringed man said, putting the sack in his right vest pocket, "here's the scoop." He then took a folded paper and a pair of glasses from his left pocket.
"Let's see," the vested man said, unfolding the paper. "A statement has been issued by the Sheriff. He granted me the honor of telling this news. He says, 'I will consider the event that has taken place and will take action based on the proper procedures tomorrow.' You know what this means?"
"The Sheriff is only considering this injustice that has taken place‽"
"How could this be? Clearly a crime has taken place in this town!"
"We have to take this injustice into our own hands!"
"Well then," the vested man said, holding the pocket the cabin's money was in, "I'll be off. You clearly look busy, and I hope you have a good evening."
The man with the blue ring then stepped out of the cabin, while it made more rabble than before. Once he shut the door behind him, he could hear not only the chatter of the cabin behind him but the cabin on the right as well. This cabin then goes quiet as he hears a lone voice arise in the cabin.
"He says, 'I will consider the event that has taken place and will take action based on the proper procedures tomorrow,'" the muffled voice of the cabin said before its usual constituents erupted into another large rabble.
"She should be hanged! He didn't do nothing to that girl!" was one voice.
"We have to do something about this!" was another.
The vested man smiled as another vested man emerged from the cabin on the right. The man on the right noticed the man on the left and stood fast before him. The man on the left stepped forward and put his ring in the light of the lamp that hung above him, letting a blue flash travel to the man on the other side. In return, a red flash traveled back to him.
"I see you got the money," the man on the left said to himself. They both proceeded to walk off, into the night, to let the show begin.
When the lamps ran out of oil, the meetings were adjourned, and the footsteps were heard. Soft, muffled cries and hard ropes fell on the deaf ears of the town. Then, there was silence, as two bodies hung from the Tree in the center of town in the morning. The townsfolk woke up to it, but no one was crying. There was no horror, sadness, or even disgust at the sight of the bodies. Just a small hint of pity and then, nothing. Not even the sheriff cared; no one was punished. The day then went on as usual, for the hustle and bustle of the town didn't break any day, and today was no exception.
There were two men standing under the Town Tree that day. The coins they counted glistened in the sun, outshining the silhouettes of the two bodies hanging above them. They both wore black vests, with red and blue shirts under them, and red and blue rings on their hands that shined almost as bright as the coins they were counting.
"How much have you got?" one man said.
"Forty, how about you?"
"Fifty-six."
"Welp, you win the bet, congrats. But I'll win next time."
"Go ahead and try."
They both walked down the center of the road, to the house that laid down the middle. The only house that laid down the middle.

4. Stay Away From Layaway Plans:Best Buy, Toys R Us, Sears, Walmart and Kmart will allow consumers to sign a layaway contract, where they can lock in a price of an item now and make monthly/weekly payments on the gift for the next 8 weeks. Layaway plans are a waste of time! Chances are, the price you lock in now will be further discounted as we get closer to Christmas. Plus, there are service (typically $5) and cancellation fees (about $10).
2. Track Your Shipments: If you're making dozens of online purchases, it can be difficult to keep track of when each package will arrive at your doorstep. The "Slice"iPhone app, which launched earlier last week, automatically tracks your shipments. It's linked to your Gmail or Yahoo email and it will grab the data from the digital receipt that the online retailer (like Amazon) sends to you and the app will tell you when each package will arrive. There's no need to enter in a tracking number.

4 New 'Harry Potter' History of Magic Books Are Coming from J.K. Rowling
4 New Harry Potter History of Magic Books Are Coming from J.K. Rowling
Kevin Burwick
— May 31st, 2019
Harry Potter fans are about to get some more insight into their favorite franchise. It has just been announced that J.K. Rowling is releasing a series of non-fiction eBook shorts called Harry Potter: A Journey Through... The new series is based off of the audiobook Harry Potter: A History of Magic, which is inspired by the British Library exhibition of the same name. While it's not exactly what a lot of Potter fans were hoping for or necessarily wanting, it is a chance to go further down the rabbit hole.
The four books coming from J.K. Rowling that comprise Harry Potter: A Journey Through... are titled Harry Potter: A Journey Through Charms and Defence Against the Dark Arts, Harry Potter: A Journey Through Potions and Herbology, Harry Potter: A Journey Through Divination and Astronomy, and Harry Potter: A Journey Through Care of Magical Creatures. All four will be published in the next few months. No official release date has been announced at this time for the second two books. The synopsis for the four new Harry Potter books can be read below.
"The series features four bitesize reads, each themed by Hogwarts lessons, and will take you back in time once again to learn about the traditional folklore and magic at the heart of the Harry Potter stories, accompanied by some new, gorgeous line drawings from London-based artist Rohan Daniel Eason."
As for the first pair of Harry Potter: A Journey Through... books, Charms and Defence Against the Dark Arts, and Potions and Herbology, respectively, will be released on June 27th, while the release of the second set will be announced at a later date. Harry Potter - A History of Magic came out in 2017 and expanded upon the audio book release. The new series takes the expansion a step further, taking fans deeper into the magical world of Harry Potter.
2018 marked the 20th anniversary of the first Harry Potter book being published. In the 20 years since, the books have sold over 500 million copies worldwide and they have been translated in over 80 languages. In 2001, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone launched the movie franchise and the rest is history. J.K. Rowling created a magical world, which new generations are still discovering and learning to read with while still revisiting the movies at the same time.

The franchise is still going strong with the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios and the Fantastic Beasts movie franchise. Hardcore Harry Potter fans will undoubtedly be interested in getting further background information on the magical world, but the new book series might not be for everybody when all is said and done. We'll just have to wait and see how they are received upon their releases this summer. To pre-order the books, you can head over to the Pottermore site.

Janice Chatterton, founder and President of the SPCA Puerto Vallarta, did in life what few do. She helped to change an entire culture and has saved lives. Chatterton, who was in her eighties, recently passed away after a sudden illness.
Her sheer determination to rescue animals in need has saved a few thousand dogs and some cats too. She also helped to change the culture in Puerto Vallarta and the Mexican state of Jalisco. And in doing so, her legacy includes that today dogs and cats are more often thought of as family members. While, sadly, maintaining dogs on hot rooftops and allowing them to roam in the streets still occurs, arguably it's Chatterton's dogmatic public viewpoint which has infiltrated local culture.
The Sanctuary which Chatterton opened in 2012, is what Americans and Canadians define as no kill. Many dogs are rescued from abuse, and on many occasions, she was known to take matters into her own hands.
While she was alive, I couldn't print those stories for fear of potential legal repercussions.
Any dog in need can find a safe haven, including dogs with special needs.
Dogs with special needs may stay longer at the sanctuary compared to those adopted in weeks or months, but their lives are enriched by caring staff and volunteers. Simply, put, they learn what trust and love are. Meanwhile, medical care of all animals have been attended to by a staff veterinarian, which is not common place in Mexico. Chatterton has even flown dogs to Mexico City or to the U.S. to see veterinary specialists.
If it's possible to care for the dog at the sanctuary, they do it. There are dozens of miracle stories.
According to one witness, Carmen was hit by a car. The driver got out to examine any damage to his vehicle but left Carmen to suffer at the side of the road. By the time Chatterton heard about Carmen, she was starving – but so determined to stay alive she actually had eaten her own flesh. Instead of euthanizing, Chatterton treated, which meant amputating her back legs.
As Carmen recovered, there was a "cuddler" with her 24/7 to provide both medical care and love. What shelter does that? Chatterton felt dogs who are suffering should never be alone.
Once recovered, Carmen would greet all visitors to the sanctuary, but she did suffer night terrors and likely post-traumatic stress disorder syndrome.
Some might suggest she was destined to live her life out at the SPCA Puerto Vallarta as no one would adopt a dog missing two legs. And that would be fine with the SPCA and with Carmen. It's not a horrible place to live; her needs were met, doted upon by volunteers and staff, and obviously there's canine company. But it's still not the same as a loving forever home.
When Kathy Mackel walked into the facility for the first time, Carmen was there to greet her. Kathy came to the SPCA several times in 2016 to deliver wheelchairs for dogs, including Carmen's, from Eddie's Wheels. Each time she departed, Kathy went home thinking about Carmen. They had formed a bond..
And, that worked both ways, as at the time—unbeknownst to Kathy—staff would report that whenever she didn't return the next day (because she was on her way home to Oregon), Carmen would act "depressed." They pined to be with each other.
Kathy wound up adopting Carmen, and they are today inseparable. Somehow Carmen rolled right off the plane into the family as if it were meant to be all along.
How Did a Fancy San Francisco Lady Come to Save So Many Animals?
Living in San Francisco, Chatterton enjoyed animals, but was never involved in animal welfare, or intended to be.
In 2007, by which time Chatterton was living in Puerto Vallarta, she agreed to join some friends to help at the city pound, mostly as a social get-together. She was horrified by conditions at the facility. Chatterton and others developed a program where after the shelter spayed/neutered, dogs, they were taken to public places and events to be adopted.
Chatterton opened La Casita, a small private sanctuary in Puerto Vallarta for animals she began to rescue, and hasn't looked back. She hired staff with her own money, and began to enlist volunteers to help rescue animals, adopting them out to mostly Americans and Canadians, a formula which would ultimately become her model.
Many fundraisers later, Chatterton established and opened the much larger SPCA Puerto Vallarta Sanctuary. Dogs are kept in spacious kennels, and always have the choice of being indoors or outside. They have playtime, and attention nearly 24/7 from a staff of about 20 employees, and volunteers. Classical music plays in the background, and there's a warm water whirlpool for rehab. And each dog is taken for a walk daily.
For several years, the SPCA Puerto Vallarta also adopted cats, but because there are now other organizations in town that effectively save cats, she began to focus solely on dogs.
In Puerto Vallarta, Chatterton has helped establish the concept of 'voluntourism.' The Sanctuary welcomes tourists willing to spend a good part of a day volunteering at the facility. Many wind up adopting a new BFF. Chatterton became expert at the process of transporting animals to the U.S. and Canada.
Chatterton has even developed a foster home network of U.S. and Canadian homes. Once they've landing in one of these homes, animals always get adopted. Chatterton rarely adopts to anyone in Puerto Vallarta for many reasons, including the fact that there's already an over-abundance of animals available to locals from other facilities.
Chatterton also co-owned very successful elegant boutique hotels in Puerto Vallarta called Hacienda San Angel (a property where Richard Burton once lived) and Casa Kimberly (a property once owned by Elizabeth Taylor).
From Edmonton, Canada Bruce and Carole Thom, a retired couple with grown children, decided to adopt from SPCA Puerto Vallarta. They were so impressed they did it again with a dog named Nina. It turned out that Nina had a bad habit; she bit people.
The Thoms refused to give up on the dog. Carole says that she realized her pup was simply fearful. She found qualified help from a trainer with a special interest in animal behavior, and today they manage Nina. "Sometimes things happen for a reason," she says. "Nina taught me so much about dogs. And that's allowed me to help other dogs (from the SPCA Puerto Vallarta)." The couple helps to organize adoptions and foster families in Edmonton and Alberta, Canada.
Chatterton was a slight woman with a giant mission. She wasn't forgiving about accepting the ordinary, at times it seemed most couldn't live up to her standard. Compromise is a word that likely may not have existed in her vocabulary. Still, many worked very hard to merely to receive her acknowledgement. When they heard that from Chatterton they knew it was the truth.
The last time I saw Chatterton, I asked 'Why do you still work so hard?' She simply stared at me and smiled, and finally said, "I think you know." And of course, I did.
The work must continue. If you are so inclined, as we will do, please consider a donation.
Here are two of the videos I recorded with Janice. She didn't love doing this sort of thing, preferring to be behind-the-scenes, but she understood the need for it. Hopefully you get a sense of her passion, and willingness to do whatever it takes.

Thatcher ally accuses Daily Mail of 'telling lies' about Ralph Miliband
Lord Moore of Lower Marsh says his former tutor was an inspiring teacher who never said a bad word about Britain

A former member of Margaret Thatcher's cabinet has accused the Daily Mail of "telling lies" about Ralph Miliband after the newspaper claimed that the Marxist writings of the late father of the Labour party leader meant that he hated Britain.
In the biggest blow yet to the Mail editor, Paul Dacre, who has launched a strong defence of his paper's decision to claim that Ralph Miliband had left an "evil legacy", Lord Moore of Lower Marsh said his former tutor was a good man who never had a bad word to say about Britain.
Moore, who served in Thatcher's cabinet between 1986 and 1989 and was briefly tipped as a potential successor to Thatcher, said it "beggars belief" that the Mail could impugn the patriotism of Miliband, who taught him at the London School of Economics.
Praising Miliband as a "great academic" and an inspiring teacher, Moore said: "Ralph Miliband taught me and I can say he was one of the most inspiring and objective teachers I had. Of course, we had different political opinions but he never treated me with anything less than complete courtesy and I had profound respect for his integrity."
In a statement issued to the Press Association Moore added: "He had come here as a refugee, done his duty to his adopted country by serving in our Royal Navy during the war, become a great academic and raised a good family.
"I saw him week after week and it beggars belief that the Daily Mail can accuse him of lacking patriotism. I never heard him ever say one word which was negative about Britain – our country.
"The Daily Mail is telling lies about a good man who I knew. The people of this country are good and decent too. They do not want the Daily Mail attacking the dead relatives of politicians to make political points."
The intervention by Moore came after Lord Heseltine, the former Tory deputy prime minister, accused the Mail of demeaning the political process with its attack on Ralph Miliband.
In remarks that went further than the careful response of Tory ministers, Heseltine said there was no justification for the headline on the Miliband piece which said he hated Britain.
Heseltine told The Daily Politics on BBC2: "This is carrying politics to an extent that is just demeaning, frankly. The headline isn't justified. It is completely out of context. As everybody knows the guy fought for this country and we now live in a totally different world to the clash between communism and fascism."
The former deputy prime minister addressed the Mail's claim that Marxists such as Ralph Miliband deserved to be condemned because of the repression of the Soviet Union. He said: "Let us be frank. Stalin did some of the most appalling things but the Russians turned the second world war."
Heseltine also said the Mail had published "hatchet jobs" on Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg.
William Hague had earlier said the Mail's attack had no implications for the future regulation of the press in Britain. The foreign secretary said it was understandable that the Labour leader had decided to defend his father.
Hague declined to say whether the newspaper had carried out a hatchet job as he said: "These things do happen."
Many ministers believe in private that the Mail made a serious error in saying that Ralph Miliband, who fought for Britain in the second world war after escaping the Holocaust, hated the country. But they are declining to criticise the Mail because they do not want to fuel the row, which has overshadowed the past 48 hours of the Conservative conference, ahead of negotiations over the future of press regulation.
But a member of the prime minister's No 10 policy board criticised the Mail. Margot James, MP for Stourbridge, tweeted: "Crass and cruel to condemn Ralph M'band for his Marxist views when they were formed in 40/50s, deeply misguided maybe but not unpatriotic."
Hague simply supported Ed Miliband's decision to defend his father, though he acknowledged that the Daily Mail's deputy editor, John Steafel, had said the Mail Online had been wrong to run a picture of Ralph Miliband's gravestone with the words "grave socialist".
The foreign secretary told the Today programme on BBC Radio 4: "I think it is very understandable that a son in any walk of life, not just a politician, comes to the defence of a parent. That is what we would expect to happen and that is clearly what is happening here. We should understand and respect that. I am in no position to judge myself about it and he will have known his father far better than any of us could have possibly have done."
The London mayor, Boris Johnson, told LBC 97.3 he understood Ed Miliband's reaction. "What I actually feel, I've got ancestry that doesn't come from this country and I think people do feel very sensitive, particularly if the patriotism of those relatives is impugned," he said.
"I can imagine that being a very, very hurtful thing and I would definitely want to fire back if it was me."
Charles Moore, the former editor of the Daily Telegraph, meanwhile, accused the Daily Mail of offending against taste and decency on "multiple fronts".
Moore, who is the official biographer of Thatcher, writes in this week's Spectator magazine: "The Mail managed to offend against taste and decency on multiple counts – attacking a man for his deceased father's views, misrepresenting those views, attacking a Jew, attacking a refugee from Hitler."
Downing Street is working hard to ensure that ministers keep out of the Labour row with the Mail. Ministers have been told to make a simple argument that any child would rightly want to defend a parent.
David Cameron said in his interview on the Today programme on Tuesday, which took place at 8.10am, that he had not read the Daily Mail piece. He said the same thing three hours later in separate interviews with the main television news programmes. By early afternoon, by which time he would be facing no more interviews until after the conference, Tory sources let it be known that the prime minister had read the Mail article.

Figuratively, I've always got at least three balls in the air. Right now, for example, I'm running a thriving massage practice, writing about office fitness for desk workers, and announcing world music shows in Seattle.
Literally, I've been juggling for more than 20 years. I used to have a pretty cool three-ball routine and could even do a four-ball Mills Mess, but lately I've devolved to a weekend club passer and five-ball dabbler.
Actually, my interest in juggling goes back quite a ways. The photo shows me at the age of five months, manipulating three balls (yes, this a real, un-retouched photo). Juggling cognoscenti will immediately recognize the Moschen-esque concentration and grace which to this day suffuse my three-ball routine.
Several years ago, I published George Gillson's book, Beyond the Cascade: Step-by-Step Guides to 88 Classic Three-Ball Juggling Tricks. I released the rights to the book back to George, and he is publishing a new edition of it with Brian Dube. E-mail George if you're interested in buying a copy of the current edition.

Words from the developer
Link and Zelda are en route to a distant kingdom when their boat is attacked by a pair of pirates. The men take them to the tropical continent of Sootini; the gateway to the Hall of the Dead. They hold Zelda hostage, refusing to release her until Link brings them the mystical Staff of Istalin.
The Legend of Zelda: Hall of the Dead is a fan game created in Game Maker and released sometime in 2007. It's a fairly rudimentary game, but isn't without its charms.
The gameplay is mostly inspired by A Link to the Past (obviously), but also takes cues from a few other famous games. The equipment system is more akin to Four Swords Adventures where you can only hold one item at a time, and the overall progression system has more in common with Super Mario 64 than it does a Legend of Zelda title. You still explore the overworld looking for dungeons, but the main goal of the game is to collect as many of the 100 magic pearls as you can. The more you find, the more areas you unlock. Try to find them all!

Department of Comparative Politics
Climate change: Challenging democracies, challenging parties
Båtstrand, Sondre
dr-thesis-2015-Sondre-Båtstrand.pdf (1.041Mb)
Department of Comparative Politics [394]
Climate change has emerged as the most prominent contemporary environmental issue, and poses several challenges to democratic processes. Democracies are struggling to integrate climate concern, and political parties attempt to shape the issue of climate change according to their existing policies and established conflict dimensions. The dissertation investigates climate politics, and seeks to understand what kind of political issue climate change is, and how democracies and political parties respond to climate change as a global environmental threat. Three different hypotheses are presented on how the issue of climate change relates to the dominating cleavages in politics, between state and market, and between environmental protection and economic growth. In order to do so, a framework for categorization is developed. The empirical analyses point to climate change as a multidimensional issue rather than being a leftist issue.

The Global Diabetes Research Center (GDRC) is a unique collaboration between Emory University in Atlanta, USA and the Madras Diabetes Research Foundation (MDRF), in Chennai, India. GDRC was established as an inter-disciplinary, cross-cultural hub for epidemiological research of diabetes and its complications in India and South Asia. GDRC is housed in MDRF's state of the art research facility in Siruseri, a research and technology satellite city near Chennai.
To achieve this goal, GDRC facilitates effective and equal collaborations between South Asian and non-South Asian researchers and institutions, by providing educational and research opportunities in India and other parts of South Asia. GDRC also provides an opportunity for non-South Asian researchers to develop a more global view of diabetes and diabetes risk factors. The platform for this expansion of research capacity is being built using world-class data management, quality assurance, analytical processes, skill sets and experience.
Initial funding for GDRC was provided by Emory's Global Health Institute. In addition, major contributions of research fellowships, research expertise, physical infrastructure, equipment, and administrative oversight investments have been made by MDRF and Emory's Rollins School of Public Health.

Taylor's coach and father, Peter Taylor said he was very proud of his daughter and thrilled that she was chosen again this year for the prestigious title.
"Katie couldn't believe it when she heard the news," he said.
"It's a fantastic honour."
In other boxing news five of Northern Ireland's boxers have claimed gold medals at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi this week.

What is the biggest mistake ever made by Bill Gates, the creator of Windows?
by BorsheimsJewelry
A talk show was held by Bill Gates , founder and CEO of Microsoft and parent of Windows , at the Venture Capital Village Global event. Among them, it is reported that Gates confessed 'the biggest mistake of his own past'.
Bill Gates Just Confessed His Greatest Ever Mistake (He Still Hasn't Got Over It) | Inc.com
https://www.inc.com/chris-matyszczyk/bill-gates-just-confessed-his-greatest-ever-mistake-he-still-hasnt-got-over-it.html
In the talk show, Gates said that software, especially the platform, is 'a winner's business,' and a software engineer's entrepreneur needs to pay a great deal of money to establish a company in order to win a major technical advantage. I explained that there is.
And Gates said, 'The biggest mistake I've ever made is,' Microsoft didn't create something like Android because of my managing mistakes. Now Android is a non-iOS standard It's a mobile phone platform, and it was natural for Microsoft to beat Apple. ' Furthermore, 'There is only one room for non-Apple OSs, and what value is there ... $ 400 billion (about 44 trillion yen) will move from Company G to Company M, ' joked Added to
You can actually see Gates confessing about his past mistakes from around 11:55 in the following movie:
Bill Gates on Startups, Investing and Solving The World's Hardest Problems-YouTube
On the other hand, foreign media Inc. pointed out that 'Microsoft's mistake is about thinking too much about economic growth and not considering the people who become users', Apple is advanced The reason for appealing style and design sense is that Steve Jobs instinctively recognizes the existence of human beings.
by Sean Davis
On the other hand, Android, which Google acquired a development company in 2005, has been developed with the idea of Linux, an open source OS, as its foundation. With open source development, Android has been adopted by many mobile phone manufacturers worldwide. This is completely different from Apple's self-contained and self-controlled world, Inc. says.
In 2007, when the first iPhone was released, Microsoft released the portable music player ' Zune ' to compete with Apple's iPod. Steve Ballmer , then co-founder and CEO of Microsoft, was asked to sell an iPhone that combines an iPod and a mobile phone for $ 499 (about $ 60,000 at that time), '$ 499 is high Mobile phones are not attractive to customers around the world, 'he said. An interview with Ballmer at that time can be seen in the following movie:
Ballmer Laughs at iPhone-YouTube
Ballmer, who had been pushing ahead with the hardware business, had a bad relationship with Gates who wanted to expand its software business. Ballmer, who retired from Microsoft in 2014, said in an interview by Bloomberg in foreign media in 2016 that 'Microsoft is too late to enter the mobile phone market' 'split and use expensive mobile phone charges Apple's business model of being embedded in the fee was innovative, 'he admitted, saying the past remarks were wrong.
Although Microsoft developed Windows Phone and Windows 10 Mobile, which are operating systems for mobile phones , Apple's rivals such as iOS and Android, which boasts a 75% share of the world , can not be defeated, and December 10, 2019 After discontinuing support for Windows 10 Mobile, we did not develop a mobile OS.
by Martin Linkov
Inc. said, 'If Microsoft, when the iPhone appeared, was developing a mobile phone business to compete with Apple, it would have tried to create an isolated garden surrounded by a high wall of high royalty fees.' He pointed out that Microsoft couldn't create a mobile phone platform like Android because it was just a lack of Gates' vision, not a management mistake.
Gates himself is using an Android device, not a Windows 10 Mobile device.

Presentation: The Dark Side of Vaccines - Word Matters!
There are two sides to the story of vaccines. The predominant story told to us by government institutions and the mass media is that "vaccines are safe and effective." But are we really being told the whole story? In this course, we'll peel back the curtain and peer into the shadows as we examine vaccine safety and efficacy from a critical perspective.

Ifedi embracing high expectations from Bears
Last month Bears offensive line coach Juan Castillo told reporters that he wouldn't be surprised if veteran right tackle Germain Ifedi made his first Pro Bowl this season.
While the proclamation may have raised some eyebrows among fans and the media, it was music to Ifedi's ears.
"I don't think he's wrong," said Ifedi, who's entering his second year with the Bears after spending his first four NFL seasons with the Seahawks. "He knows me pretty well. He knows how I work. He knows my football IQ, what I put into this game, what I've done in my five years in the NFL.
Chalk Talk: Who will start at corner with Johnson?
Dalton building chemistry with new teammates
Roster moves: Bears ink five 2021 draft picks
"There are a lot of facts that go into that, but as far as being a consistent player and one of the better linemen in the league, I think that's the expectation. That's my expectation. Coach [Matt] Nagy, that's Ryan [Pace's] expectation. That's coach Castillo's expectation. And I try to live up to that every day because they took a chance on me. They believed in me, and I'm going to give them everything I've got."
Ifedi's move from right guard to right tackle midway through last season was part of a major offensive line reboot that helped ignite a stagnant offense. In the Bears' first five games after moving Ifedi and installing center Sam Mustipher and right guard Alex Bars as starters, they scored 19 touchdowns and averaged 33.0 points. In their previous seven contests, they had mustered just nine TDs and averaged 16.7 points.
"I've played a lot of offensive tackle in my career," Ifedi said. "I really do enjoy playing offensive tackle. I do think it's a great position for me, even though I do have the ability to play inside. Moving outside I thought was a cool experience for me. It's been cool to start back up [this year] still playing outside … I'm excited for what I'm going to be able to do. And I'm excited for what our offensive line, our offense and what our team is going to be able to do."
Ifedi once stood in rookie's shoes
Selected by the Seahawks with the 31st pick in the first round of the 2016 draft, Ifedi can relate to what rookie teammate Teven Jenkins is experiencing. Jenkins, a tackle from Oklahoma State, was chosen by the Bears in the second round at No. 39.
Ifedi revealed that he's encouraging Jenkins to "just keep competing, keep playing hard, keep getting better."
"As a rookie O-lineman, there are so many things you don't know, and you don't even know what you don't know, and it can be a real tough thing," said Ifedi, who started the final 13 games as a Seahawks rookie in 2016. "You're kind of learning on the go in a lot of situations.
"It's all about competition. It's all about, 'What can I do to get a little bit better every day?' There has to be an every-day type of question. There has to be an every-day type of action for you to continue to get better because it's a tough league and it can expose you pretty quick. Like I said, you've got to keep getting better. You've got to keep asking questions. You've got to keep learning from your mistakes."
Ifedi eager to serve as a mentor
After drafting Jenkins, the Bears spent their next pick on another tackle, choosing Missouri's Larry Borom in the fifth round at No. 151.
Ifedi plans to mentor both Jenkins and Borom as they transition into the NFL.
"Going into Year 6, I'm an older guy," Ifedi said. "I've had guys before that took me under their wing. It's just what you do. It's not about, 'Oh, I'm going to push this guy aside because I don't want him to get better.' I want them to get better; we can all eat.
"Everybody is just here trying to get better and try to have fun with it and make a living for their family. It's about, 'All right, so how do I bring this player along? How do I make someone a little better today? How do I make their existence in this tough league a little better?'
"It can be unforgiving. We all forget it can be a little brutal, so … you keep encouraging them and you do it the right way. If you do it the right way, good things happen for everybody."

17 Fatalities and 705 New Coronavirus Cases in Albania on Wednesday
Albania registered 705 new cases of coronavirus, while the number of victims was high with 17 people having lost their lives on Wednesday, a figure which is five more victims as compared to the previous day.
Currently 484 patients are being treated in 4 COVID hospitals as 38 are in intensive care while 13 patients are on ventilations, according to official data released by health authorities.
Meanwhile, 528 citizens have been cured in the last 24 hours, bringing the total number of cured patients to 19,912 since the beginning of the epidemic in March this year.

The Ministry of Health repeats the similar appeal to citizens to avoid any kind of gathering, to limit unnecessary contacts and movements in order to curb the spread of COVID19. "We remind citizens of the necessity to respect the rules of physical distancing, wearing the mask in any environment outside home and taking care of hygiene," it is said in the statement of the health ministry. /argumentum.al

Lately I've been really getting into doing mini embroideries, and Sonia over at Dandelyne on Etsy makes the perfect little hoops for these! I'm obsessed.
For this piece I wanted to do something abstract, where I could focus mostly on the color and texture. Texture is my favorite part of embroidery and crewel.
Initially I was going to do an ombre effect in the hoop, but then it just kind of morphed into this. But I love it. You can read more about this piece in the shop, where it is for sale.
This last piece I made (so far!) using my little hoops for The Creative Muster. This one is a 2″ hoop turned into a brooch. I decided to keep it a little abstract. I think it will go well on some winter coats to add a little color to what is otherwise a pretty colorless season.
This one is done on rust colored fabric using mustard yellow, lime green, and blue embroidery floss. I made this one as a part of a gift, hopefully they like it!
I just re-ordered a second round of these mini hoops, what would you guys like to see embroidered in them next? Remember- it can only be about an inch big!
Remember to check back tomorrow for the giveaway!
Recently I finished a piece that is a bit different than anything I have done before. I still have some left over fabric from when I went on a bleaching frenzy, and I chose to embroider something more abstract to go with the abstract pattern the bleach made.
At first I was going to fill in all of the orange circle with the yellow seed stitch, however I didn't want to cover too much of the fabric so I kept it to the stripe down the middle.
It's a pretty summery looking piece, I'd say. If I had a sun room this would absolutely be where I would hang it!


If you are one of the millions of, dozens of, readers of this blog then you know that I have already reviewed The Collapsing Empire. Of the others, Six Wakes appealed the most (The Stone Sky won, if you hadn't heard already).
The premise of Six Wakes is appealing straight out of the box. Clones wake up on a space ship to see their dead former selves (previous clones) covered in blood. They are in the middle of a decades long journey to colonize a new planet. Their memories are from old backups, right back to when they started their journey.
The story felt like it was written by a different author in different sections (or maybe by the same author at different times). The beginning of the story had huge tension. Of course, six people had just discovered they'd been murdered… and one of them is the murderer. But a little bit after that, however, the story turns humorous, which felt schizophrenic. The characters were just wondering which of their tiny number murdered them all, and then they were cracking wise in the mess hall. This was then followed by back story which delved into the ethics of clone rights. If you are cloned, and the old body is not destroyed, which one is the (legally) "real" person? What happens to the rights of the less "real" person? It kinda jumped a bit, which gave me reader's whiplash.
Some parts of the novel made me go "wow!" while others made me go "huh?" The wows won, but the huhs were still significant. The revelation of the "bad guy" was not really satisfying to me, mostly because it was an awfully elaborate (not to mention extremely expensive) plot to murder people. And the inconsistency in the characters (which admittedly could be explained by mental illness) lessened my enjoyment. Still, because of the ideas, I'd buy another Mur Lafferty book.
Do you intend to read The Stone Sky?

Pierre Roffet, dit Le Faucheur, est un relieur français.

Biographie

Il était établi tout au commencement du , ainsi qu'il résulte de l'ordonnance qui suit, faisant partie de la collection A. Bonnardot, vendue par M. Claudin le  :

De par le Provost des marchans et esche-vins de la ville de Paris. Philippe Macé, receveur du domaine de la ditte ville, baillez et payez à Pierre Rouffet, relieur de livres à Paris, la somme de soixante solz parisis que ce jourd'hui avons ordonnée et ordonnons par ces présentes, pour avoir de nos ordonnances, tympanisé, blanchy, colé, relyé, doré, jaulny et couvert de cuyr neuf les deux livres d'ordonnances royaulx de la prevoste des marchans et eschevins d'icelle ville qui estoient vielz, descouvers et mal relyés, et auxdits deux livres mis et fourny de fermeture, et à chacun d'iceulx adjusté trois cayerz de parchemin blanc, iceulz réglés, l'un desquelz livres servant en l'auditoire de l'Ostel de la dite ville et l'autre au Greffe d'icelle. Et rapportant ces présentes et quittances dudit Rouffet, la dite somme de soixante solz parisis sera allouée en vos comptes, etc. etc., le vendredi vingt-deuxième jour daoûst mil cinq cens et onze. » Signé de Montmirel, J. Croquet, G. Souchay, Disomé, Hesselin. — Suivait la quittance de Pierre Rouffet.

Ce relieur était de plus libraire, et avait pour enseigne un Faucheur, d'où lui vint son surnom, que portèrent aussi ses descendants. Il demeurait rue Neuve-Notre-Dame à Paris, devant l'église Sainte-Geneviève-des-Ardents, et édita un grand nombre d'ouvrages. Selon La Caille :

la veuve Nicole Vostre imprima pour Pierre Roffet, Simon Hadrot et Nicolas Prévost, le Diurnal à l'usage des RR. PP. Celestins, in-24 rouge et noir, en 1528; Breviarium adusum Cœlestinorum, in-8°, et plusieurs autres usages rouge et noir.

Il réalisa des reliures pour François , de facture simple, en cuir et maroquin noir. Il publia aussi Larbre de lame de Hugues de Saint-Victor, et Geoffroy Tory imprima pour lui : Jean Marot de Caen sur les deux heureux voyages de Gênes et de Venise, etc., en 1532; le Recueil de Jehan Marot, poète et escripvain de la magnanime Reyne Anne de Bretagne ; puis, la même année, L'Adolescence Clémentine de Clément Marot. Pierre Roffet dut mourir en 1533, car le privilège de La Suite de l'Adolescence Clémentine fut donné pour trois ans, en 1534, au nom de sa veuve, qui paraît avoir continué la maison de son mari.

Les autres Roffet

 Son fils, Étienne Roffet, continua d'imprimer Clément Marot et d'autres auteurs. Il est le premier à obtenir la charge de relieur du roi (créée par François ) de 1537 à 1548.
 Jacques Roffet, dit le Faucheur lui aussi, publia un des livres illustrés les plus remarquables du  : Ordre qui a esté tenu à la nouvelle et joyeuse entrée du roi Henri II à Paris le .
 À la même époque deux Roffet, André et Ponce, exerçaient l'imprimerie.
 Nicolas Roffet s'établit libraire vers 1570. Il pratiqua sans doute lui aussi la reliure et demeurait toujours rue Neuve-Notre-Dame « en la maison où pend pour enseigne le Faulcheux ». Il mourut vers 1582 et sa veuve prit la succession jusqu'en 1606.

Is at the John Golden Theatre located at 252 West 45th Street, It opens on November 20, 2011 and will play until March 4, 2012. The play runs for one hour thirty minutes with no intermission.
The playwright Theresa Rebeck was a Publitzer finalist in 2003 for her play "Omnium Gutherum". She has won a Peabody Award for her work in "NYPD Blue"
The director Sam Gold won a Obie in 2010 for his direction in "Circle Mirror Transformation".
Alan Rickman received a Tony nomination in 1987 for "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" and in 2002 for "Private Lives". He has become well known for his role in the Harry Potter series as "Severus Snape".
Lily Rabe is the daughter of the late actress Jill Clayburgh and playwright David Rabe. She was nominated for a Tony Award for best leading actress in a play in 2010 for "The Merchant of Venice".
Jerry O'Connell is known for his roles in the TV series the "Sliders", Crossing Jordon" and most recently "The Defenders".
Seminar is about wanna be writers taking a class with a well know writer and now professor. Each pay Leonard (Alan Rickman) $5,000.00 for a ten week class. They meet at Kate (Lily Rabe) apartment on the upper west side. There are three walls for a room, decorations on the wall. A bar on the right side is used alot.
Each scene the lights goes down, furniture is moved around and the cast changes their clothes to signify a different day.
The students and teacher lives include sexual encounters with each other which causes resentment.
Leonard is a bitter man who lashes out at his students. He has no compassion and is wrapped in himself.
Leonard first tears apart Kate's paper. He loves Izzy (Hettienne Park) paper on Sex. Douglas (Jerry O'Connell) get a so so review. Last is Martin (Hamish Linklater) who in the beginning he calls a pussy and continually puts him down . When he finally gives Leonard a paper to read Leonard's has nothing but praise for him. Martin won't listen. Leonard tells Martin you have it to make it but this is what going to happen. This where we find out about Leonard, he reflecting to Martin how he came to the point of his life he is at now.
The last scene the wall pulls away and you are in a loft with book shelves all around. This is Leonard's apartment. Kate has spent the last two days lets say having fun. Martin comes to the apartment demanding his money back since they only had four lessons. He had no money to pay his rent so Kate let him stay in her apartment but she kicked him out. Leonard is willing to help Martin. It leaves you to wonder what direction the two will go in. That's for you to decide.
Alan Rickman eloquent as the writer who life is not where he wants to be. There were times when I had trouble hearing him.
Lily Rabe irritated me in the begging with a nasal like voice. As the play went on she dropped this voice and was so much better. The acting was great but that voice has to go.
Jerry O'Connell was good as the arrogant know it all. Comedy is his thing.
Hamish Linklater made an admirable job for his Broadway debut. Hope to see him on Broadway again.
Hettienne Parks works well in her role but did we she have to raise her T shirt to show her breast for a couple of minutes. It added nothing to the play.
The set and costumes were designed by David Zinn. He did the costume designs for Other Desert Cities, Good People. Bengel Tiger, A Tale of Two Cities, Xanadu and In the Next Room (Tony and Drama Desk nominations).
This is a must see play. I'm not one for not laughing at comedies but this one I did
