Alissa White-Gluz, född 31 juli 1985 i Montréal, Québec, är en kanadensisk metalsångerska och låtskrivare. Hon är mest känd för att vara sångerska för det svenska melodisk death metalbandet Arch Enemy, före det var hon sångerska och grundande medlem av det kanadensiska metalcorebandet The Agonist. Hennes typ av sång inkluderar både growling och ren sång. Majoriteten av hennes sång är growling på grund av att hon främst är associerad med melodisk death metal. Hon har dock i The Agonist och många andra gästsamarbeten med andra band som Kamelot och Delain använt sig mycket av ren sång.

Karriär

The Agonist (2004-2014)
White-Gluz grundade The Agonist tillsammans med sina bandmedlemmar Danny Marino och Chris Kells i Montréal, Québec, Kanada 2004. Bandet uppnådde stor popularitet med utgivningen av albumet Lullabies for the Dormant Mind. 2010 började The Agonist för första gången turnera i stora delar av Europa och Sydamerika. Mars 2014 meddelade White-Gluz att hon har blivit vald att ersätta Angela Gossow som sångerska i det svenska melodisk death metalbandet Arch Enemy. Inte långt därefter meddelade hon att hon och The Agonist skulle gå skilda vägar och att det egentligen inte var hennes val.

2015 avslöjade White-Gluz i en intervju att de andra medlemmarna i The Agonist hade sparkat ut henne från bandet och låst ut henne från allt som hade med bandet att göra. Under 2017 i en intervju där White-Gluz gav en mer detaljerad intervju angående sin avgång sade hon att det var det "största sveket hon någonsin har känt i sitt liv".

Arch Enemy (2014-nuvarande)
Efter att White-Gluz gått med i bandet i mars 2014 släppte hon sin första skiva med dem, War Eternal, i juni 2014. Både skivan och White-Gluz sång fick uppskattning från fansen. Under första Europaturnén för War Eternal föll White-Gluz på scenen och bröt ett revben, men bandet bestämde sig för att inte ställa in några konserter.

2017 släppte Arch Enemy två album, ett livealbum och ett studioalbum.

As The Stages Burn var deras livealbum och dvd. Konserten var filmad med 13 kameror och var den dyraste scenproduktionen i bandets historia. Konserten ägde rum i Tyskland på Wacken Open Air 2016 där Arch Enemy var huvudakt för sista kvällen av festivalen.

Will to Power är bandets tionde studioalbum, det blev nominerat till en Grammis för bästa hårdrock/metal 2017. Will to Power var också det första Arch Enemy-albumet som hade en låt där White-Gluz använde sin rena sång i största del av en låt, "Reason to Believe".

Jack Reynor & Will Poulter in Quiet, Morose 'Glassland' Teaser Trailer
Source: Element Pictures
Right now you can catch Jack Reynor in the disappointing blockbuster sequel Transformers: Age of Extinction, but the actor shows some potential in breaking out of the rut in which director Michael Bay has dug for him. Then later this year, Will Poulter steps into blockbuster territory with The Maze Runner. But the two also took the time to star in the quiet drama Glassland, getting ready to premiere at the Galway Film Fleadh this week with a teaser trailer. Toni Collette also stars in the film about a young taxi driver (Reynor) on the fringes of the criminal underworld trying to save his mother from addiction and unite his broken family. It's a short teaser, but it's enticing, and promises a moving, character-driven drama. Watch!
Here's the brief teaser trailer for Gerard Barrett's Glassland from Element Pictures:
In a desperate bid to save his mother (Toni Collette) from addiction and unite his broken family, a young taxi driver (Jack Reynor) on the fringes of the criminal underworld is forced to take a job which will see him pushed further into its underbelly. But will John be prepared to act when the time comes knowing that whatever he decides to do, his and his family's lives will be changed forever. Will Poulter (We're the Millers) also stars in Glassland, written and directing by Gerard Barrett (Pilgrim Hill) premiering at the Galway Film Fleadh and hitting theaters overseas on September 26th this fall. However, there's no US release yet.
This looks painful. "Something to live for. Something to die for."

Q: Delphi issue with sharing Image Lists across forms I've been sharing image lists across multiple forms in Delphi for years now. I have a TImageList on the main form of my app and then I have other forms that have components where I set the Images property to the image list from the main form (e.g. MyMainForm.MyImageList) at design time.
The problem I'm having is that randomly the Images property gets cleared on those forms that reference the image list on the main form.
This seemed to have only start recently, but I haven't been able to pinpoint the exact cause yet. I can't seem to find a way to reproduce the issue at will; it just seems to happen randomly. I did notice it happens right when a form is opened.
One thing that I did change recently in Delphi is I enabled the Autosave Project desktop and symbols feature. So now when I open this project it always remembers what forms were open. So because this issue happens when a form is opened, and because it now reopens all forms that were opened the last time the project was opened, it happens more often.
We have a few developers working on this project, and we are using SVN for version control. One issue that enabling the Autosave Project desktop and symbols feature has led to is that when we do an SNV update on the project, the symbol file can become invalid (because we don't have the symbol file under version control). This just leads to an error message from Delphi, but other than that it seems harmless. We just recompile the project and it fixes the symbol file.
Btw, I'm using Delphi 7.
If you have questions or want clarifications, leave a comment, and I'll update the question.

A: I ran into the same problem many years ago.  Ever since, I've had the habit of putting image lists that are shared by several forms onto a TDataModule.  Then Delphi doesn't lose the link.  Putting non-visual components on data modules also reduces design time clutter on your forms.  At runtime, the TDataModule is instantiated before the main form.

A: When I encountered this type of behaviour, it was always because I'd opened the "other" form without the main form open in the IDE... the IDE would try to resolve the MyMainForm.MyImageList reference, fail, and remove the reference.
We worked around this by manually assigning the imagelist in code (usually in AfterConstruction).

A: Ah - and the "AutoSave Project desktop" feature will sometimes open files (and, hence, forms) in "reverse" order - exacerbating the IDE-doesn't-know-about-MyMainForm "feature".

A: I put kind of shared things to Datamodules instead of forms. Try with this way.

A: I did a bunch of experimenting with some really weird results. But I did make some changes so I can work on my project without this issue occurring. I had to disable the AutoSave feature (this prevents secondary forms which may reference the main form from opening up before the main form). Then I had to make sure to delete the .dsk file of the project (the project desktop AutoSave file). So now when I open up the project it always opens the main form, so I never get the issue of references to the main form getting cleared. But I do still get the issue if after opening the project I close the main form and then open a form that references the main form.
Also I was unable to reproduce this issue of references to another form getting cleared in a brand new project with the AutoSave feature disabled, even though I can reproduce it w/AutoSave disabled in my current project. I have no idea why, but I don't feel like this is worth investigating further.
Below is the data on some of my experiments performed on my existing project. WORKS means the reference to the main form is fine. BUG means the reference to the main form got cleared. This was done w/AutoSave on and always closing all forms manually before I closed the project.

*

*Open project

*Open main form

*Open secondary form

*Result: WORKS

*

*Open project

*Open secondary form

*Result: BUG

*

*Open project

*Open main form

*Close main form

*Open secondary from

*Result: BUG

*

*Open project

*Open Secondary form

*Result: BUG

*Set Images property of component on secondary form to image list on main form

*Close secondary form

*Open secondary form

*Result: WORKS ("caches" reference for the secondary form only; see below for "caches" explanation)

*

*Open project

*Open magic form (see below for what a "magic" form explanation)

*Result: WORKS ("caches" any reference to main form for all forms; see below for "caches" explanation)

Other interesting findings:

*

*When you open up the form and the image list does not show up, the .dfm is modified however delphi does not say that the file is modified (e.g. if you close the form it won't warn you about unsaved changes).
Only once you press save on the form will the dfm clear the imagelist reference.

*I noticed there are some "magic" forms in my project (for lack of a better term). Magic forms reference my project's main form in their .dfm and they don't lose their references to the main form after you Open them, even if they are opened before any other form.

*These magic forms cause the "caching" of all image list references from the main form. Once you open one of these forms, then you can open up any form that references the main form, and it won't lose it's references during this project session (even if the magic form is then closed).

A: Do you have mainform.pas included in project? Not only as "uses mainform.pas" somewhere in .pas, but as
  fMainForm in 'fMainForm.pas' {MainForm},

in your Application**.dpr**. That comment {MainForm} is necessary for Delphi - for resolving inherited forms and links between them.

Man claims Timmins Police Service officer assaulted him
Joshua Santos
A Timmins man is accusing an officer with Timmins Police Service of assaulting him on Friday, July 13.
Richard Ouellet claims he was walking his dog when an officer attacked him. He said an officer got out of his car and approached him at a corner of Cedar Street South and Seventh Avenue.
Ouellet recalls walking away. He claims the officer kept telling him to stop, stating a warrant had been issued for his arrest and kept asking his name.
"I looked back at him and said, 'you're harassing me, there is no warrant for my arrest. I haven't done anything, I'm going home'," said Ouellet.
Ouellet claims the police officer ran up to him, kept telling him to stop resisting and then assaulted him.
"Every time he said there was a warrant for my arrest, he would ask me my name. He put his hand in my pocket while he was throwing me around. I felt like I was the Rodney King of Timmins," said Ouellet.
"During the confrontation and him manhandling me, I thought he broke my neck. At one point I cried out, I want to go to the hospital. He said, 'don't worry, you will be going to the hospital'. I was terrified, I was mortified. A Timmins Police Service supervisor ended up showing up."
Ouellet said he kept resisting because he was trying to stand up. He kept telling police he was on the Ontario Disability Support Program as a disabled Canadian. He used to work in the mining industry.
"He put handcuffs on me and I thought my hands were being cut off because he put them on so tight. I had marks a couple of days later when I went to file charges against the police officer that assaulted me. All the other police officers allowed it to happen and none of them helped until the supervisor showed up to let me go," said Ouellet
"I asked for a ride up to the hospital and none of the officers gave me a ride and none of them called an ambulance for me, so I walked home."
Ouellet said he went to the Timmins Police Service office later on to have charges filed against the officer. He said they told him they had to follow protocol. He said this was his third incident with Timmins Police Service.
He did not disclose information on his previous two encounters with law enforcement.
The Daily Press reached out to Timmins Police Service for a comment.
"I have just been notified that Mr. Ouellet has in fact generated a complaint in regards to a matter involving the Timmins Police Service," said Marc Depatie, communications co-ordinator for Timmins Police Service.
"As such, and in order to comply with established protocols, this matter is deemed to be an open investigation and commentary of any kind at this stage would be irresponsible as it would likely be speculative in nature and could potentially jeopardize the outcome of an open file."
The issue is being handled by the Office of the Independent Police Review Director (OIPRD) in Toronto. Depatie said officers do not use body cameras or audio devices at this time.
Ouellet said he went to two lawyers' offices this week, Wallbridge and Wallbridge and Bragagnolo.
"I went to two different lawyers to see about a lawsuit because I want to sue the police. This isn't the first time this happened," said Ouellet.
"Before I didn't know I could press charges against the police or sue them. This time I'm pressing charges against the police officer that assaulted me and I'm filing a lawsuit."
He said he would like to file a class action lawsuit against Timmins Police Service later on. He said the city needs the RCMP, not Timmins Police Service. He said his head hit the ground leaving him hazy.
"I'm terrified of the police. I've been traumatized to the max because this is not the first time this has happened. This time I'm doing something about it because we need the Timmins Police Service removed and we need that outlet to be RCMP."

A computer software engineer is a specialized programmer that creates complex computer software systems. Computer software engineers usually work in more detail that an ordinary computer software programmer, though the actual mechanics of the job are fairly similar. While a programmer might work on pieces of products such as web applications or API code, a software engineer usually has a broader view of the end product they are creating.
Computer software engineers make an average of $87,900 a year according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Software engineering is a very detail-oriented position that requires determination, persistence, logic and an extraordinary wealth of information. Software engineers need to understand the basic components to computer systems and how they work, and they often need to know multiple computer languages fluently. The languages most often used in the industry are C++ and Java. There are many industries a software engineer could potentially work in, including the development of video games, corporate applications or web-based services.
A computer software engineer will usually begin with a plan, unless they are subordinate to a software developer. Many computer software companies use an AGILE model of software development, which allows software systems to be developed as necessary and pushed forward as they can be completed. Other software companies will use the Waterfall model of software development, which requires very specific milestones to be completed on a set schedule. Computer software engineers will need to create a basic plan by which the software needs will be met.
If a software engineer has a developer working with them, the software engineer will usually work very closely with the developer to fulfill the needs of the client. The developer will usually provide the engineer with specification documents stating the desired behavior of the program and it will be up to the software engineer to actually create a program that suits these needs. Developers will sometimes, but not always, assist the engineer by suggesting ways in which this functionality can be accomplished.
How Do You Become a Computer Software Engineer?
Most software engineers have a Bachelor's Degree in a related field, but this isn't always true. Those that master programming languages and are able to develop their own applications based on deadlines will often be able to get a job in the industry even without formal training. Hobbyists who are interested in moving into the field of computer software engineering will often begin as computer programmers and will be able to move into the industry by displaying their skill. This is often done by producing a project independently and by creating a portfolio of work.
Degrees in the field can be obtained through many online schools, which makes it a relatively easy field to get training in. Associate's Degrees are available for those that do not have the time investment that a Bachelor's Degree program would take, and there are also accelerated courses available.
How Do You Advance as a Computer Software Engineer?
A computer software engineer can eventually become the lead of a software team or can develop their skills further and become a computer software developer. Software engineers usually increase their wages through experience, and those that are in the field for a significant amount of time will usually make extremely high wages. Computer software engineers can also move into software design or they can specialize in specific types of software. O*Net Online shows that systems software tends to be more lucrative than applications software specializations.


Development NGOs warn that EU leaders are overlooking aid in budget negotiations, with large cuts targeted at development and humanitarian aid.
(Brussels, 23/11/2012) Development NGOs are concerned about the latest proposals coming out of the EU leaders´ summit on the future of the EU budget 2014-2020, taking place today in Brussels. Further disproportionate cuts are being proposed to Global Europe, a budget heading which includes development and humanitarian aid.
Over 2000 European NGOs sent a letter to the four European countries that are taking a lead in standing up for aid commitments; Sweden, Denmark, the United Kingdom and Luxembourg, that form the G.07 group last week. The letter calls on the G07 leaders to speak up for Europe's development and humanitarian aid.
2. Support for EU aid remains strong among European citizens. The results of a Eurobarometer survey released in October show that 85% of EU citizens believe that Europe should continue helping developing countries.

Cracking images. I recall you saying some time ago that you were experimenting with this type of photography. Do you use a wide-angle lens?
Hello Chris, yes I used a D200 (crop DX sensor) with ~20mm lens for the first and a D600 (FX sensor) with a 28mm lens for the second. As I'm sure you know a smaller sensor gives more depth of field and a wider field of view at a given focal length.
I'm impressed with the other photos in this thread, and would be very interested to hear what camera and lens was used by others.
Here are another couple of images from Longshaw yesterday (unbelievably cold). The first has Leafy Brain and Bleeding Conifer Crust on pine. The second one is of a myxo spotted by John from some distance - it's a few mm high. I don't know how to work the manual focus well enough on the Fujifilm x20, so I rely on autofocus. Luckily this locked on to the tiny myxo, and using aperture priority I got the background landscape. I'm going to take some bits of foam rubber (from a carrymat) to stabilise the camera as I don't take a tripod.

My wife took the one I posted with her Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200. I tend to keep the macro lens on my field camera. I do want to take some 'fungi in landscape' images so will experiment with the kit lens which starts at 18mm.
Here are some of mine, taken with the Fuji Finepix HS10.
For this type of shot, the lens is always set to the widest end of its zoom range, (i.e. 24mm), and with aperture priority set at F8.
Long exposures aren't usually a problem as I use a tripod whenever possible. On the few occasions that I can't get the tripod into the right position, I will make use of anything that happens to be nearby to support the camera. Hand holding is the last resort!
I always use the camera's self timer (set at 2 seconds) to trigger the shutter.
Fantastic pictures Mike especially the Penny Buns.
Do you use a dedicated wide-angle lens or is it part of a zoom complex?
Some excellent examples showing fungi in the Lanscape. All these make a fine collection indeed.
Lovely photos. I was surprised to find that my Nikon 28mm lens only stopped down to F16, most disappointing. Out of interest which focal length did you tend to use for the photos you posted?

We're going to be doing a Quick Ones interview. Quick Ones are when I have the opportunity to connect with individuals, discussing products, ideas, and services to help round out your consulting toolkit. We got a couple of guests. They are serial entrepreneurs, super rock stars. They are both best-selling authors, and they are a power couple. This is our first couple on The MECE Muse, but we're thrilled to have Ajit Nawalkha and Neeta Bhushan join us. Ajit is the Founder of Evercoach, which is his coaching organization. Neeta is the Founder of the Global Grit Institute and they both decided to get together and co-author a book called The Book of Coaching. We have a chance to talk about coaching. That seems to be a big buzzword these days, especially if you go online and look at a lot of solopreneurs out there.
There's a lot of coaching going on out there in the world. I've had questions of people asking me, "What's the difference between a coach and a mentor or a coach and a trainer?" Ajit and Neeta come in to share a little bit about their insights, how they got started. They both transitioned into the entrepreneurial space, and they share their differences of definition of a coach, mentor, and trainer, and how you can leverage all of these different resources for any personal, professional, or organizational transformation. They also share how you as a consultant can leverage coaching as a skill set that you can bring to your clients. It's an important, informative conversation. I look forward to having both Ajit and Neeta come and talk about being a couple and working together. That's a pretty unique instance and I'd love to hear their perspective.
Interview with Ajit Nawalkha & Neeta Bhushan
Neeta and Ajit, thank you so much for joining us on The MECE Muse Unplugged. How are you both doing?
Awesome. Excited to be here.
Can each of you take a moment and just introduce yourselves?
I wear many hats as many consultants and entrepreneurs do. I'm Founder of the Global Grit Institute, authored two best-selling books, created the SchoolOfGrit.TV, and I run a business accelerator. I speak all around the world helping entrepreneurs create their greatest masterpiece in a book.
The Book Of Coaching: For Extraordinary Coaches
My name is Ajit but my nickname is AJ for this conversation. I am Co-Founder of Evercoach, Co-Founder of Mind Valley, a co-author of The Book of Coaching and a global traveler and lover of life.
You both sound not only busy but you're living fabulous lives. How did you get started? It seems like you're both doing a couple of things similar, but some things very different. How did you decide to start this journey?
We did start at very different places. My journey started in Jaipur, India. That's where I'm from. Neeta's journey started in Chicago. Our journey together started about four or five years ago, at an event called A-Fest that my company puts together, and Neeta was attending that event. We met there for the first time. At that time, I was with somebody else and Neeta was in her transition period as a former dentist. We stayed connected for some reason and that connection rekindled about two years ago. That first started as a love affair, and we started playing together as life partners.
I was working on my first book because I exited the healthcare profession. I was a cosmetic dentist for close to a decade. I was, in a lot of ways, coaching and mentoring inadvertently many female professionals because a lot of times, we don't learn the business aspects of dentistry in school, medical school, dental school. It's pretty much the same thing. From my early beginnings, I learned a lot around entrepreneurship and so I knew how to build small businesses. I was able to start transitioning early and that led me to sell my practice, retire from the profession itself, and start a consulting business.
I was a consultant to dentists, doctors, and chiropractors, and then I was on a spiritual journey and awakening which landed me to Malaysia, which is where Ajit was at the time. It ended up him coaching me on scaling the business globally and I was coaching him on leadership stuff, which then led into a little bit of a love affair. In the medical world, that would be malpractice, but that's how we started because that's how we met, and so us together started there and then the journey continued.
As Neeta mentioned, she was already working with leaders and educators and so forth and scaling their businesses and helping them work on the emotional side and their resilience. I was focused on building Evercoach as a brand at that time. We decided that we want to do life differently, do love differently, and so we set our sails and started traveling around the world. While we were in the middle of traveling across 25 different countries, we've decided that there was an opportunity that lies for both of us to partner up and create things together too, not just our own verticals, but a lot of the work that we do synergize together. Most of the work that we do synergizes and we did together and some of the works were the companies that we do still pursue, which are slightly different like School of Grit or Evercoach, we pursue independently but still together as one team.
There's still an integration. It was the idea that we were both building our entrepreneurial dreams, and we've both been married before. If we learned from that and do something differently, what would that be? Having known better in all these things, because he was traveling a bunch and I was traveling a bunch, how we can merge together and get into our ninja genius zone and merge that. That's what bursts The Book of Coaching among other things and leadership and being able to scale businesses that were like, "Let's marry these two parts and let's see what the result is." That's some of our projects right now, so it's been amazing.
I would love for both of you to just take that brief moment and talk a little bit about Evercoach, and if you can talk a little bit about your Global Grit Institute, that would be great.
A few years ago when I first started my journey as an entrepreneur, I started as an intern in a company called the Mind Valley, which is an education space but more on the personal excellence side of things. While I was working with the company, I realized that I myself had a lot of passion around building businesses. I decided starting a company, like many companies on the side while partnering with Mind Valley, eventually realizing that one of the things that have made the greatest impact in my life was coaches and teachers that showed up when I need them, especially when I was just starting out as a little kid from India who didn't know much or didn't have any abundance or intellect or a lot of degrees to support what type success you would think one would want. I realized that coaches, educators, and teachers showed up and helped me transform my life. I get to live a life that I'm eternally grateful for because of these individuals showing up at different times, sometimes even when I couldn't afford them. That gave me a drive to say, "If I could ever help this category of people, I'd love to help them."
I started meeting a lot of coaches, educators, teachers, and speakers who are good at what they did but they just didn't know how to make it all work. They didn't know how to make the finances work. They didn't know how to make impact on their clients. They knew some bits but they were not nailing it. They didn't know how to deal with themselves while creating all of that. They were living very different lives and there was so much noise in the mind that was hard for them to figure it out what is the right way to do it. I had done this for a while at that point.
I was CEO of Mind Valley and I built many companies at that point, so I said, "Why not focus my next plans towards helping coaches, educators, and teachers build their businesses and help them navigate this whole ecosystem?" That's how Evercoach started and that's what Evercoach is now. It is a platform for coaches, speakers, educators, and transformation leaders to come together and learn from the best, get the strategies and the tactics to not only work on yourself as a human being, but work on your methodology and work on your business and be able to take your business to the next level.
Maybe you can talk a little bit about Global Grit.
I help entrepreneurs who are transitioning from either an exit from their own company or they have retired from one profession. I do get a lot of physicians, doctors, and dentists who have exited or who have retired in some way as well as people that are just looking for the next chapter in their lives. I help them build ecosystems around their business to have more freedom, to articulate a message and to create a business around themselves as well as their expertise and creating the greatest masterpiece in the world, which is a lot of times in the form of a book.
What's great about both of the companies that you're running is it seems such meaningful work. Your ability to help change a lot of lives is definitely evident. I give you both kudos for not only going out and changing and doing something different, but also doing something that's truly meaningful. I'd like to pivot a little and talk specifically about coaching. I would love to get your perspective from both of you on your thoughts on coaching with some best practices and for the audience out there that are trying to decipher and de-mystify the difference between coaching versus mentoring and training, if you could provide a little context there.
Coaching, mentoring, and training traditionally are understood as different things. Traditionally, you mentoring is a time when you are basically working with a person and you're mostly mentoring them. By that, I mean you're sharing your experiences of life with them and that's how they're getting insights. Training is you're in a group setting and you're training on particular skills or strategies. Coaching is where you are sitting down with a person and asking them questions that are helping them explore within themselves to find the right answer that is for them at that time.
Coaching comes from a place of saying that these coaches don't have any answers, but the person who's getting coached has all the answers. That is the traditional difference between all these terms. What I argue with the coaching industry, the training industry, and the mentoring industry is that when a coach only plays the role of asking questions or when a coach or a mentor only shares their own personal story or a trainer is fixed too much in delivering the content without understanding the intention and respect of the person that's listening, none of them does a fair job of helping the person truly transform.
Our argument is that a coach is also a trainer is also a mentor is also an educator is also a consultant in many times, same as anybody else. These are just titles. What we are looking for is transformation leaders. You're are trying to be somebody who transforms lives, helps businesses, and helps people live an excellent life and be in better health, and so forth. Whatever method you use, we should ideally be detached to the method. We should be attached to the outcome that we create.
Traditionally coaching, training, mentoring, all of that are just methods. They're not outcome-based. They are the way you get to the outcome. I would like to argue that coaching, training, or mentoring are all the same because all of them are trying to meet the same outcome. It's only the methodology that differentiates them. Hence, a coach can be a trainer, a mentor, and an educator, same as anybody else.
I would like to argue that coaching, training or mentoring are all the same because all of them are trying to meet the same outcome.
I work with so many leaders. The idea is that coaching is a skill set. In addition to what Ajit was saying that for consultants, part of their hats are they're solving a problem, they're helping a business grow, they have a certain time period where certain benchmarks they need to have done for whatever the actual goal or the intention or the agenda is for that company or individual. If we were to say that coaching is actually a skill set and the idea that you're listening to some of the things that your clients a lot of times isn't saying verbatim, it's almost like you're reading in between the lines, which then it also helps further strengthen the relationships, deepen it, go into other avenues as you feel comfortable. At the end of the day, it's all semantics.
I love what you just said about coaching being a skill set. Sometimes people do get caught up on the titles and not digging a little deeper to see that coaching can be definitely a way of being, particularly as a consultant. You said that nicely. Any a-ha moments? Any good stories that either of you have in terms of your coaching journey, particularly with the book? I would love to hear a story or two.
When we are deciding what that what was going to be for Ajit and I, what was the gap, what was missing, we do a lot of these strategy sessions as a couple. For those of you who have significant others or partners that you work with, we tend to do these strategy sessions at least once a month and then a quarterly session, given the timeframe of the year. For this particular session, we were away at Burma, in Myanmar. We were on a five-hour drive from the airport to our hotel in Burma. It's like Thailand but twenty years earlier. A lot of the roads are not paved and we're like, "What can we do?" We took out our journal and we started drawing. We started drawing a whole ecosystem for Evercoach and we started drawing the whole ecosystem for Global Grit for what we can do. Some of our passions were writing, speaking, serving love, which is our motto.
When it came down to what's missing, we both realized that there was something missing for the coaching community. It's what we were already doing in our respective fields. I was doing a lot with leaders and entrepreneurs and he was basically building a school for coaches. What was missing was the underbelly, and that was the a-ha moment which was, "Why don't we just co-write this book together." I talk a lot about emotional grit and that was the premise of my first book. It took me to 45 different countries around the world. We thought that this would be a great marriage because a lot of coaches or consultants, strategists, or creative, especially when they're starting out, there is a lot of internal dialogue and there's a lot of self-critique talk and imposter syndrome that goes on.
I was taking all of the learnings that I did when I was in the startup community in Silicon Valley and in San Francisco, as well as in New Delhi, India, and I said, "We can totally incorporate this as coaches." That's when we decided that the book was going to be on three verticals because in order to start any business, whether it's your startup, in the valley, or your own small business, you got to get past your mindset. The mindset is that grit, the tenacity, the resilience of the good, the bad, the ugly, and whatever comes with entrepreneurs.
Then we talked about the messaging, "How do you want to create your business? What kind of revenue streams does it actually involve? What's your why around it?" The last bit was all on influence, so marketing, being able to positively influence the people around you, your avatar, and getting exposure. Those are the three elements and we knocked smoke out. I happened to be doing a book-writing retreat in Thailand three weeks after that idea, and so from start of the idea to finishing the book, that whole process was one month that we got the book done.
I definitely can't wait to pick up a copy of The Book of Coaching. For the go-getters that may be looking for a coach, what are some elements, traits, or questions that you think they should be asking individuals that are coaches?
I have a lot of people that ask right away, and a lot of times they are in pain. There's some pain, either it's a relationship that in turn affects the business, or there's some emotional trigger that happens where all of a sudden they get into panic mode. Once the problem is solved in their minds, they all of a sudden stop the pursuit. A lot of times for people who have been thinking about it and a lot of times it's a lot of business coaching, the question is, "Where do you see yourself a year from now?" That's number one. Number two, "What is it that you need in order to get there?" A lot of times, we think we can solve these things on our own, but then we keep trying and toying with this idea of, "Can you get a coach?"
A prime example that I use all the time is a fitness coach. The idea is I'm going to lose 10% body fat or whatever the craze is, ten pounds. Let's just keep it simple, I'm going to lose ten pounds. If you have your trainer, you know that's what you're paying them for. They're going to make sure you're lean. They're going to make sure you're in the gym three times a week. They're going to make sure they keep you accountable. They're going to make sure that you have benchmarks. I relate that back to being aware of what your shortcomings are. That's three. Four is being okay to surrender to find somebody that jives with your personality. In this day and age, with Yelp reviews and things like that which doesn't exist for coaching and consulting, it's all about the relationship at the end of the day. That's the biggest thing, who are you going to connect with, because you're going to be working with them intimately.
I would love to have you both come back even talking through how to work as a couple effectively. That will be a fascinating conversation in itself. At the beginning, you mentioned Accelerate. We'd love to hear a little bit about Accelerate and other projects or anything else that you're working on we should be aware of.
Accelerate is our six-month business accelerator for coaches, strategists, consultants, any author, speaker, and leader. We clumped them into one, anybody that's literally building a business. We dive into the topics of mindset, message, and influence.
Thank you so to both of you.
Thank you so much for having us.
Thank you to the go-getters. This is Christie Lindor signing out for The MECE Muse Unplugged pop-up podcast. Here's to your journey to greatness.

About Ajit Nawalkha
An ode to entrepreneurship.
We are used to romantic stories. Of rise and fall, of good vs bad- this is not one of them.
This one is all about grit. It's about rise and rise. It's a lot of beliefs. It's true. It's honest. It's from the heart. It's not to please or impress. It's to share my highest value- LOVE
It was another night when it was hard to sleep. Staring at the ceiling, I didn't know how to deal with myself. I had a dream job, a purposeful one. Being the CEO of a leading company was no small feat at 30. In the year 2014, I made a decision that I needed to live the greatest expression of myself.

Regional R&D projects to receive £400 million in Government and industry funding
by Eneko Igartua
The Government has awarded £400 million in Research and Development (R&D) funding to regional research and innovation projects in the UK.
The funding forms part of the Government's long-term aim to invest 2.4 per cent of UK GDP in research and innovation, with R&D funding forming a significant part of the strategy.
Businesses and universities in Cardiff, Edinburgh, Belfast, Glasgow, Kent, Liverpool and Bristol will benefit from the funding for projects including smart-packaging to reduce food waste, health products to fight infection and zero-emissions technology for marine vessels.
Alok Sharma, Business Secretary, said: "The announcement will ensure some of our country's most promising R&D projects get the investment they need to take off and thrive.
"Working with the private sector and our world-class universities, we're backing new and innovative ideas that will create jobs and boost skills in every part of the UK for years to come."
The Government has stated that the programmes will deliver long-term economic benefits in each city and area, creating new jobs, cultivating new skills and encouraging a competitive future for the UK economy as businesses look to rebuild and recover from the coronavirus pandemic.
The investment forms a part of UK Research and Innovation's (UKRI) 'Strength in Places Fund', which aims to support R&D projects that will be a catalyst for local and regional economic growth.

I figured this was worth sharing here; it was a short spot, but amusing and featured a stock car.
In addition to the DeLorean, there's a lot of other 1980s references.
That commercial is an example of why Radio Shack has turned into a failing company. Back in the day (80's) a geek could go in there and gets all sorts of cool stuff including components. Today it is nothing more than a cell phone store.
I love how the commecial showed what Radio Shack used to be. And of course, my favorite part what when Alf yelled, "Go! Go! Go!!!!!!!". Awesome icons from the 80's. Too bad Radio Shack has turned into a crap store.
Who remembers the "Science Fair" branded electronics kits? I used to love hooking up wires to those spring terminals just to make a LED blink. Those crystal set radio kits were pretty sweet too. Those were the days.
Tandy Color Computer II fo' lyfe, playa!
They shoulda hired someone like Toni Basil instead of the generic Solid Gold dancer chick.

In this article, we plan to introduce eight Film Streaming With English Subtitles Websites shows their content, and the devices and platforms that support them.
Are you unwilling to pay for subscriptions to Netflix and Amazon Prime services to watch different movies or pay for the use of these services for you?
If this is the case, be sure to follow this topic because in this article we are going to introduce eight free online movie and TV shows.
Although Hollywood's latest Hollywood movies are not appearing on these services, you can enjoy watching feature films and movies that have been streaming for a few years. Come along with us.
This video streaming service is owned by Sony and displays various promotions.
In this service, both TV shows and cinematic films, some of which are original, are displayed and there is no need to create an account for watching movies.
This service allows users to store their favorite videos, as well as offer various videos to watch for the user.
Meanwhile, if you use this service on different devices, it is also possible to continue playing the video from the part that it has already stopped playing.
The selection of selected films has improved considerably in recent months.
The content of this service is very diverse and C-grade movies with better movies are loaded in this service.
I have always been able to watch my film on the list of selected films of this service, and this list is changing periodically.
In general, it can be said that although a large part of the films on this site are old films, there are always good videos to view on this site.
The backup devices of this service are very diverse. All tablets include Android phones, iPhones and iPads, Windows Phone and Amazon Kindle phones, and support for its apps for various mobile platforms.
There are also many game consoles, including PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Playstation.TV, PSVITA, Xbox One and Xbox 360, as well as many smart TVs, including Sony, Samsung, LG and Vizio smartphones, and many online video players such as Roku, Applet, Google Chrome, and Firefox Amazon are also on the list of sponsors of the service.
Of course there is no possibility to download movies in this service.
To use hoopla, your Library has to contribute to this service.
There are various movies in the list of services that you can rent and have 72 hours to watch each one.
You can not provide accurate statistics of the services of this service, but as you said, you can easily rent and enjoy watching the various genres of this site, from African films of the 1970s and 1980s to family films.
You can use the content of this service through your computer's browsers or on Android and iOS devices.
Google and Apple's first and second-generation Google Chrome also support this service.
In mobile apps, this service not only allows you to play videos online but also can download them.
This service also includes many movies that you can enjoy watching movies without paying and even without having to create an account. Of course, if you want to mark your favorite movies and do the same, you should create an account user.
Most of the films in this service are black and white and old, so we recommend using the service to classics fans.
Because the web-based service is created, it can only be used through browsers; however, it is also possible to use this service in many browsers created for mobile devices (including Safari on iOS).
Using Kanopy, like Hoopla, needs your library support. The service began at first in Australia, but after a while it managed to succeed and consolidate its position.
Of course, a handful of books are currently supported by the Library.
Because the service is more educational, its content is mostly composed of documentaries.
Despite the fact that the costly blockbuster films have seen less in the service, but there are also winning films of various awards and films that ponder people, too.
Kanopy has a channel in Rako and its apps for Android and iOS have also been released.
This service, like the Crackle service, is supported in a large number of devices, and a large number of commercial and non-commercial videos are on the list.
You do not need to use this service to create an account.
It is also possible to store favorite movies as well as continue to play movies from the point you stopped before.
According to the company that created the service, 45,000 movies are available in this service, but there are only 15 to 20,000 videos available. Among the remarkable titles of the service are the new horror films and some of the most acclaimed films.
Tubi TV is available on all Android and iOS devices, game consoles and featured online movie gadgets and some Samsung TVs.
Meanwhile, in the Android and iOS apps, the company also has the ability to download videos in addition to playing online movies.
Vudu Streaming Service last year created a new streaming service called "Movies on US," which users can watch over a thousand titles of movies at no cost.
You do not need to have a Vudu account to watch videos, but you can create an account for free.
The content of this service is not so exciting, and its existing films, with the exception of old films and films made solely for home screening, are few of the most valuable films on the list.
This service can be used on most mobile devices, game consoles, and popular video game players.
In the mobile app, this service allows you to download some movies; however, the titles of the Movies on US section can only be played online.
Although this service has focused more on the online broadcasting of television programs, part of it is also dedicated to the distribution of movies, and you do not need to create an account to use this section.
Though Yahoo has recently signed a contract with Hulu to showcase its appealing TV programs, the company's videos are almost not seen in the service.
This service is currently only available on the Web. Of course, there are several mobile apps available for this service, which only allow viewing clips in them and there is no way to watch movies and TV shows.
Some users think that the YouTube service that belongs to Google only contains various clips, but we must say that there are also complete movies in the service.
There is also a service called YouTube RED that shows the original videos and you have the right to subscribe to it.
The service mainly includes movies that have their copyright date, but the service also has very good titles.
YouTube is used on almost all devices and platforms; in fact, it is possible to watch the Internet Achieve service on YouTube on an online video player and on a large screen.

Q: Swift - Infinite loop for empty array I've just upgraded my project to Swift 3 from 2.3. All my for loops are going infinite. I can reproduce it in a fresh playground as well:
Here's what I'm doing:
var strs = [String!]()

strs.append("hello")
strs.append("world")

var count = 0
for s in strs {
    count += 1
}

What is wrong? In the playground, the loop executes continuously.
Looking at the docs from Apple, this should work, shouldn't it?
UPDATE:
If I change my array definition as follows, it works as expected. What's the harm in forcing non-optional values in an array?
var strs = [String]()

UPDATE 2:
This is a known bug - https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-1635

Five new sustainable business study cases for restoring landscapes
Date Wednesday, 11 December 2019
There is huge potential in restoring landscapes: around two billion hectares of land (two times the size of China) are degraded, but this can be addressed. Five new business case studies have been launched to help professionals to create social, cultural, and financial returns for remedying degraded landscapes. The teaching cases, which are a powerful means to engage business school students, are based in Spain, Iceland and Portugal, and have been prepared and written by the Case Development Centre at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM).

Currently there are wide gaps between business and environment that hinder successful and wide-scale landscape restoration built on sustainable business cases. The gaps are in every aspect of such projects: in economy and ecology, theory and practice, global and local approaches. These newly developed business cases address these gaps and will be used in business and management education. They can also be downloaded from the RSM Case Development Centre's online catalogue or studied by individuals in the free RSM MOOC, Business model innovation for sustainable landscape restoration, available on Coursera.
An answer to the call for education
Landscape degradation is a widespread international problem that has serious consequences for the environment and for every part of society. For some time, policy makers, business leaders and universities have been calling for high quality European education about land degradation and how to put together the large scale, multi-partner response that is required to counter it. The European Network for the Advancement of Business and Landscape Education (ENABLE), a three-year project between academia, private businesses, the public sector and NGOs, has answered that call with the launch of the five new interdisciplinary business cases.
These business case studies are aimed at business students and professionals, as well as anyone with an interest in business-driven landscape restoration. They are free for everyone to use.
There is great potential for land restoration on a large scale, but it is difficult to get such restoration projects financed. "Our case will contribute to a better understanding of such land restoration projects and thus facilitate finance coming forward," said Dirk Schoenmaker, professor of Sustainable Finance at RSM, about the case he co-authored, Sustainable Finance for Landscape Restoration in Spain.
Cases from Spain, Iceland and Portugal
Two cases are about a Dutch organisation, Commonland, which scouts, launches, and manages business-driven landscape restoration projects. Its founder and CEO is Willem Ferwerda, the Executive Fellow for Business and Ecosystems at RSM. Another is about Arento Group which has 152 million employees and an annual turnover of €219 million.
Commonland: The AlVelAl Project: the challenges of making business models and scaling them faced by the Dutch Commonland organisation in its landscape restoration project in the southern region of Spain.
Arento Group in Spain: Towards a Sustainable Future: how an agricultural business tried to make the transition towards higher levels of sustainability.
From Bare to Birch: Large-Scale Ecosystem Restoration in Iceland: the transition from desertified land to resilient woodland that provides ecosystem services to people locally and beyond.
Reborn from Ashes: The Alvares Project: the successful endeavours to halt the propagation of wild fires in Portugal and the challenges that come with it.
Sustainable Finance for Landscape Restoration in Spain: strategically analyse and financially evaluate a large-scale landscape restoration project, in particular, using environmental and social returns in financial calculations.
Enriching business
Eva Rood, ENABLE project leader said: "Building bridges between ecology and economy and working on a common, transdisciplinary understanding of one of the worlds' greatest challenges was amazing. It is tough, but it can be done; it affected people from very different backgrounds. From RSM students to nature conservationists, we have widened people's world views and enriched the way they organised their business."
ENABLE was co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union. It developed much-needed education tools for integrated landscape management based on sustainable business models. It is hoped that these education tools will assist professionals in gaining a new awareness and sets of skills, so they can create projects and enterprises that restore landscapes and return social, cultural, and financial returns to society while doing so.
Land degradation is undermining wellbeing
Worsening land degradation caused by human activities is undermining the wellbeing of two-fifths of humanity, driving species extinctions and intensifying climate change, says the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), an independent intergovernmental body. Degradation of land is linked to other major contemporary issues that Europe must tackle, including climate change, food and water security, and a decline of biodiversity. These problems are directly related to well-being, security, poverty, and migration. This makes restoring and conserving landscapes one of the most important tasks of our time.
These business cases have been written by international experts in each topic. They include

If you fancy yourself as a bit of handyman then installing a garage door is something that you might want to look into to put your skills to the test. If you follow some very simple instructions and a clear cut guide then the installation process can be a piece of cake. However, many DIY installers tend to rush right in and this is where problems and issues can arise. So before you dive in at the deep end follow our handy tips because at the end of the day it's going to cost you more if you do a bodge job as you will have to call in the experts and that will cost you.
Before you lift a hammer or a screwdriver you are going to want to check to see if all the door parts are working as they should be. There is nothing worse than spending time and effort on following instructions down to the core, and finishing the job with perfection only to find out that something is faulty, malfunctioning or plainly just doesn't even work.
So your first step should always be to check over the door and all the parts to make sure everything is operating correctly.
The next step in the installation process is to test the garage door balance. In order to do this you want to open the door to the halfway mark and then let it go from your hands. What you want to look out for now is the movement of the door, if it moves up or down at all then the torsion spring is misaligned and this will cause the opener to wear out much quicker than if the door is balanced.
If you need to adjust the torsion spring then get an expert on the case as this is a very dangerous process and you could really hurt yourself. If the door doesn't move then everything is normal and you can then move onto choosing a garage door opener.
Now what a lot of people don't realize is that different openers work differently depending on the size and weight of the garage door. Generally you should buy a ½ hp for a single door or a double door, and then look at a 3/4 hp for doors that are heavier in construction like wooden doors.
Each opener comes with a chain drive, belt drive or screw drive, with belt drives being the quietest but also the most expensive. The chain drives are just long chains that pull the door open and closed, and the screw drives are long threaded rod drives that open and close the door.
Once everything is in place you will want to test the force of the door when it closes and opens. To do this it is usually good practice to place a 2×4 beam under the shutter of the door and then close it. As soon as the door hits that 2×4 beam it should automatically hit reverse and open back up again. This is built into the opener so that anything that may be in the way doesn't get crushed by the door coming down.
A number of tweaks at this stage to the closing force will get you closer to the correct motion.
We have just spoken about how garage doors should automatically open when something is obstructing the way, however one of the most common issues that garage door owners face is reversing doors even when there is nothing that is obstructing them from fully closing to the ground.
Firstly, just take a good look around the area of the door as the photoelectric eyes that look for obstruction are extremely sensitive and anything that gets picked up can cause this reversal process. Therefore you want to look for things such as cobwebs which are the most common issue, even though these are thin strands the door will and can pick them up as something in the way. Our suggestion is to move all cobwebs from the area and then try using your garage door again.
If you still have the same problem then it could be that the photoelectric eyes are dirty, so just give these a clean and then repeat the process to see if the door closes.
Finally, if all that has failed it could be something technical that is causing the issue such as a broken or loose cable in the doors mechanism, if this is the case call in an expert to take a look at this issue so it can be resolved successfully.

Theologians on Quine
November 25, 2012 by Mark Linsenmayer 2 Comments
In our Quine episode, I mentioned a religious podcast where the participants used Quine's undermining of verificationism to argue that any secular-based knowledge is groundless, and thus that we need revelation in order to have knowledge at all. The podcast in question was this Philosophy for Theologians episode on "Two Dogmas of Empiricism." (I've blogged on this podcast before.) The episode starts off with an explanation of the difference between analytic and continental philosophy, with the ultimate tack of arguing that while Quine writes like an analytic philosopher, his findings are similar to the post-modern continentals.
The PfT guys do a good job laying out the terms and examples (if you were confused after our episode about terms like "salva veritate," giving this a listen might help reinforce a few things), and they get to semantic wholism after only about 1/3 of the way in, whereas it took us quite a while. It's about half way into the podcast before there's an aside that makes evident what the podcast is. The speaker is talking about the meta-language necessary to set up semantical rules (e.g. to talk about "the truth of truth:
As Christians, I think what we would say is that there's a limit to our intellect, and there's mystery at the bottom of every question ultimately, but that does mean that there's never any truth to it, but there's mystery.
This is followed by a response to sum up a theologically friendly interpretation of Quine: "There are no self-standing statements true in and of themselves." Citing Quine's non-Christian view of mystery, it's said that it doesn't really matter that we know anything, we can just pretend that we do, because it's practical.
As Christians, yeah, we can say that everything is interrelated... empirical statements can't stand all by themselves... but instead of being on the precipice of total irrationality, we're on the precipice of God's own thought.
This seems pretty jumbled to me. I can't speak to the positive Christian theory here, as it's not spelled out, but re. the interpretation of Quine: It's difficult to determine what Quine's theory on truth itself is from the "Two Dogmas" essay. I don't see any evidence that he's critiquing truth in the way that Nietzsche is alleged to or that James certainly does. Quine is concerned with science as a collection of statements, i.e. with the way in which we represent facts about the world, not in the constitution of the world itself. Second, it seems uncharitable to interpret Quine as saying that we don't really know anything. The fallibility of knowledge doesn't mean that we can't know anything at all, but either that we can know things but can never know with absolute certainty that we really do know them, or that "knowledge" itself gets defined in such a way as to not necessarily involve certainty. The latter of these is the pragmatist tack, and I think a pragmatist would have to dismiss the theological positivist's demand for certainty as a delusion leftover from Enlightenment thinkers like Descartes.
Likewise, there seems to be something wrong to me about the demand toward the end of the essay that no philosophical critique can go forward without a thorough effort to define all the concepts involved. The point is made in the context of interpreting Quine's semantic wholism as a way of challenging any speaker that he or she doesn't know what he's talking about. "You say that there's bread on the table? What's 'bread?' What's 'table?'" (So everything we say is, per the above, "on the precipice of irrationality.") To a pragmatist, this kind of objection is nonsense, in that the context for wanting to claim that there's bread on the table is likely something defined as, e.g. wanting to eat the bread, so our current commonsense understandings of the terms, even if never spelled out with necessary and sufficient conditions, are already met. Yes, an objection of this sort is called for if, e.g., you're trying to argue about the cosmological argument for the existence of God based on considerations of causality; you certainly need an account of causality for that. And so Kantian objections to arguments about the Divine based on everyday observations will hold, but this situation is not best described as a semantic issue, or as having anything much to do with Quine's concerns.
I've argued before against Christian attempts to base embracing scripture on post-modern despair about the possibility of ordinary/scientific knowledge, and I don't think given Quine's commitment to science that we can usefully read Quine into this project. The strategy is certainly stronger than merely arguing as James and Kant/Schleiermacher do that rationality leaves room for faith, and to really get the whole story and take this on, we'll have to eventually cover a figure like the PfT's favorite philosopher, Cornelius Van Til.
One of the other names dropped (often in the various PfT episodes) is Alvin Plantinga, who is not only unquestionably an analytic philosopher in style, but one of the leading voices in religious philosophy, which should at the very least make it clear that analytic philosophy and naturalism aren't the same thing, if that was your impression from our discussion of Quine and his naturalist precursors (Russell) and disciples (Flanagan, Churchland).

Bill Burgess says
Here is Quine in "Two Dogmas of Empiricism".
"As an empiricist I continue to think of the conceptual scheme of science as a tool, ultimately, for predicting future experience in the light of past experience. Physical objects are conceptually imported into the situation as convenient intermediaries — not by definition in terms of experience, but simply as irreducible posits comparable, epistemologically, to the gods of Homer. Let me interject that for my part I do, qua lay physicist, believe in physical objects and not in Homer's gods; and I consider it a scientific error to believe otherwise. But in point of epistemological footing the physical objects and the gods differ only in degree and not in kind. Both sorts of entities enter our conception only as cultural posits. The myth of physical objects is epistemologically superior to most in that it has proved more efficacious than other myths as a device for working a manageable structure into the flux of experience."
I read Quine as making an honest assessment of the only true basis for science. This basis being, as he says here, that it has proven for him, more efficacious in working a manageable structure into the flux of existence.
I don't see why his honest assessment for the basis of science can't also be used by someone who finds the embracing of scripture to be, for them, more efficacious in working a manageable structure into the flux of their own existence.
Nor do I see why someone can't be both committed to science and committed to scripture. Science admits itself fallible and anyone who embraces scripture certainly should admit themselves fallible. The idea that scripture is the Infallible Word of God is as useless as the concept of pure or necessary knowledge that Quine attacks. Fundamentalists are in denial, whether they be materialist fundamentalists or Biblical inerrantists, but this doesn't mean that they are REALLY able to avoid the existence we all share, and for the most part, their denial doesn't seem to hinder their competency in dealing with it all that much.
dmf says
there are some interesting and maybe more fruitful ties between the late/neo-pragmatists and the "weak" continentalists like Vattimo and the theologian John Caputo.

The Coggin Lures Tado Mauna Kea Invert is an absolutely massive and heavy invert/cupped nose lure with 4-hole jets - The reputation of the "Tado" speakes volumes here. It's a heavy killer 14" sized double tapered invert with the "hump" in the direct middle of the head. Tapers equally towards the nose and skirt saddles. The cup on the face is a very deep nose. Extremely heavy lure for its size especially. Excellent on Marlin and large Ahi/Tuna in particular. Awesome Grander-sized lure made by one of the world's most famous lure makers. Will throw out an absolute ton of smoke with these jets. Comes highly recommended.
This particular head has a gorgeous Ice Blue/"Diamond" colored iridescent Dichro Glass insert cut into four separate slabs over an extremely bright and colorful rainbow wrap. Eyes are amazing as well with a blue glittered outer rim and a black center. The amount of color projecting off this head is truly amazing - Pictures do not do it justice. Skirted in clear with blue flake over transparent blue.

Florida State Muscles Past Mercer 74-54
Box Score in PDF Format
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Three Seminoles scored in double figures Sunday afternoon as the Florida State women's basketball team earned its third-straight victory with a 74-54 triumph over Mercer at the Donald L. Tucker Center.
Junior forward Jacinta Monroe posted a game-high 20 points for FSU (8-2) while senior guard Tanae Davis-Cain added 13 points and junior guard Angel Gray achieved career-highs with 12 points and a team-high eight rebounds.
Freshman center Cierra Bravard and sophomore guard Courtney Ward also contributed eight points apiece.
"We have a lot of different weapons," FSU head coach Sue Semrau said. "It's early in the year and we are putting them together."
The Seminoles garnered their eighth victory of the season by beating the Bears (5-3) in several hustle categories.
In addition to winning the rebounding battle 46-31 and points-in-the-paint contest 36-18, FSU also scored 10 fast-break points compared to just two by Mercer and also scored 21 second-chance points while the Bears mustered just eight.
And Monroe and Gray were at the heart of that determined effort. Monroe, who has led the Seminoles in blocking in each of the past two seasons and figures to do the same this year, swatted six Mercer shots. With six blocks on the day, she came within one of tying her career high in the category.
"The thing that she is doing is she is blocking shots without fouling," Semrau said. "I will tell you, she has just developed great timing. She bails us out a bunch."
As for Gray, the Stone Mountain, Ga., native was recently named a captain of the team and she has continued to set an example on both ends of the floor while starting in six-straight ballgames for the Seminoles.
Against Mercer that was no different as Gray earned one steal and altered the Mercer offense in a variety of ways that won't show up on the post-game box score.
"The coaches talked to me before the season ever started and I remember them saying `we want you to get in on every ball,'" Gray said. "(I thought) that's impossible. But if that's going to make the team better than that's what I am thinking about."
Defensively, the Seminoles limited the Bears to just 36.8-percent shooting from the field – including just 28.6-percent shooting in the first half. FSU also forced 20 turnovers and held Mercer's leading scorer, LaToya Jackson to just eight points.
On the offensive end, Florida State shot 42.2-percent from the field, 33.3-percent from 3-point range and 78.9-percent from the free-throw line.
The Seminoles boasted a 38-23 lead at halftime.
Sunday's showdown against Mercer marked FSU's last home game before Christmas. The Seminoles are now slated to take part in the Caribbean Classic in Cancun, Mexico starting on Dec. 18 with an opening game against Northern Colorado. FSU will also play Washington and No. 1-ranked UConn while in Mexico.
