In Google We Trust
Tuesday, Jan 26th, 2010
The Economy of Trust
This week I am proud to be a Googlican.
GoodB is happy to report that Google continues to be one of the best models for Good Business around. No, we are not sipping Kool-Aid! As most of you know, Google, the internet search giant, has challenged one of its biggest clients, the money machine of the 21st century Communist China, on the subject of free speech and ethics.
In all the hullabaloo this past year as the financial crisis enfolded and China stepped in to lend America piles of cash against a future of debt, little was mentioned about the communist government of China. People like brilliant policy shaper Tom Friedman waxed rhapsodic at the wonders of China with green-eyed envy. China had become the flat world's wunderkind.
I marveled at the hypnotic affects of China's "capitalism" in the past decade over respected and innovative thinkers. Friedman in "The World is Flat" listed China as a welcome addition to the global economy, a great commercial giant leveling the playing field.
In the U.S. love affair with China, as the Big O (and George Dubbya before him) shake their hands and money tree, otherwise smart people seemed to forget who our benefactor really is. It's the Big Bad Wolf, folks and we are on our way to Grandma's house.
For all the Red Scare of the 50's through 80's, the Soviet Union was the wolf. Russia continues to be vilified in the press and Public Square. The message is repeatedly clear. They are a communist dictatorship and do not value American-style freedom. They can't be trusted. Okay…so how did China slip through the cracks to become one of the most admired economies by the western world?
The affair with Big Red began with the smell of money. Back in the mid 1990s, top execs at Goldman Sachs were scouting the world for new opportunities. The economic neutron bomb, hedge fund Long Term Capital, had exploded and with it the Russian market.
All eyes turned to the East. CEO Hank Paulson turned for help to Goldman pal, Robert Rubin, who sat comfortably in the U.S. Treasury seat. President Clinton signed on and the stars aligned. China was open for business.
The belief in the early 21st century among many of the "best" economic minds of the day (including Alan Greenspan) was that communism through capitalism would slowly transform into democracy. Ahh, we were so young and foolish back then. We believed so many fanciful things, like capitalism actually has anything to do with democracy!
In the lust for profits in the developing nation of China, American businessmen and policy makers seemed to forget - they kill people there! They round up "dissidents" (anyone who does not agree with The Party), force them into kangaroo courts, torture them behind closed doors, break their spirits, and whisk them away forever. And we think Iran's government is "bad?" I guess they are not our trading partner, so we can afford to be preachy. As soon as China became a primary source of revenue we were up the creek without a paddle….
(Just a quick note, if the financial crisis had occurred in China, what do you think would have happened to the subprime mortgage industry titans who took the money and ran? It is doubtful a Chinese Wall Street could have run too far. Guess there are perks to living with the Green-Reds after all.)
I have not understood for the past decade how the U.S. government can crow loudly about the violations of individual freedom in parts of the Middle East and somehow remain non-committal on the ongoing human cruelty in China.
Last month, outspoken Chinese dissident and well-known member of the American civil rights group PEN, Liu Xiaobo, was convicted of "inciting subversion" for calling forth "greater human rights" in China and the end of one-party rule. He was sentenced to 11 years in a maximum security prison. His wife was held in house arrest by the Chinese police during the trial. So much for democracy, even worse, forget about basic human rights.
These are the people with whom we willingly do business. These are the folks whose fortunes are made by Walmart shoppers. These are the folks who now own the future of America. Isn't business supposed to be based on trust?
Google's recent challenge to the Chinese government's hacking of private email accounts reveals the struggle between Chinese and American style commerce. When it comes to "free enterprise" in a non-free society, the limitations of capitalism are plain to see. In America, capitalism trumped democracy once again this year. In China, communism will always have the upper hand.
China and Google have butted heads over user privacy and censorship before. In my book, Spiritual Capitalism, I detailed the complex ethical issues between Yahoo, Microsoft, Google, and Chinese authorities. In 2006, all three tech companies succumbed to pressure to remove any blog or website critical of the Chinese government. Yahoo shockingly turned a political activist's email identity over to officials. He was never seen nor heard from again.
Google and Microsoft chose to allow censorship, yet refused to reveal private identities and moved all email accounts offshore. All three U.S. companies were summoned before a Congressional panel and summarily chastised for their actions. More than one congressman compared their actions to Nazi complicity.
Time Magazine ran a cover story in February 2006, "Can you trust Google with your secrets?" as the commitment of the tech giant to its mantra, Don't Be Evil, was called into question. A Google spokesman stated the company was not "ashamed" of its action, but "not proud." Better to have limited Internet rather than none, he explained. The response never sat quite right with the rest of Free Speech America.
The current situation involves more than suppression of First Amendment values. The Chinese government stands accused of "hacking" into private email accounts of political dissidents. Hacking is the digital equivalent of breaking and entering. The issue at stake is the very essence of Google core values. It's good to know that when Big Brother is watching you, your other Big Brother has got your back.
Google is considering pulling their search engine out of China - a country of 1.3 billion people, four times the population in the United States. An amazing action for any hugely profitable publicly traded company. The threat alone would make shareholders shudder and competitors gloat. It also can make their largest client, the People's Republic of China, mad as a hatter.
Yet they are willing to put their money where their ethics are, potentially risking enormous profits, and raising the bar of corporate social responsibility to a new level most of us will have to leap to follow.
This week Google profits are down 13%. The toll of the recession and the threat of Chinese action are already weighing heavily on the tech giant. Yet Google stated in their 2004 IPO that they wanted to be a different kind of company, one that did not sacrifice their core values for short-term profits.
That is a tough call for any for-profit company. Business leaders meet ethical challenges daily. Little in the world of money is black and white. There is always a grey area where profits must be considered against human needs. This is what doing good business demands of us. Asking questions like, "How do you stay in business, answer to the bottom line, and still maintain the soul of who you are?"
These are the dilemmas faced by modern business -big, small, and everything in between. Wall Street has been called on the carpet in recent months. So far they have failed miserably to balance two essential values: profits and the human bottom line.
The key for managers and companies faced with difficult decisions is to have a clear foundation of principles from which to act. Like valuing quality of life and placing the welfare of people and planet before profits. That is a hard lesson for business. Yet it remains the fundamental test of good business for 21st century enterprise.
However this issue rolls out, Google has made a profound statement with its current stance. Sergey, Brin, and all the Googlicans are saying simply, some things are more important than money- principles and people. In the process, they have renewed our faith in ethically responsible capitalism.
This year, we watched incredulously as one profitable firm after another justified reprehensible breeches of ethics as the cost of doing business. Google's actions set them apart from the pack by drawing a distinct line in the sand. They are in business to profit, but they refuse to sell their soul to do it. The search king reveals once again that trust in business is not a PR slogan, but an absolutely essential component in any contemporary business model.
Just goes to show, there are some things in life you can still count on. It is good to know that Google is one of them.

9th Gen Drivetrain Transmissions, Clutches and Axles.
Chevy Impala Forums > Performance and Technical > Chevy Impala 9th Gen Discussion > 9th Gen Drivetrain > Trans Issues?
My 2014 LTZ seems to be slipping occasionally and shifting hard. Is there any things i should have looked at to see what the issue could be? Have about 120k on it.
You have a 6T-- automatic correct? And does it shift late, such as doing 45 mph and shifting from 2 to 1.5 then to 1k rpm rather than jump to gear, like 1 to 4 or 5?
May be too late and damage already done, but has the trans fluid been changed as per the maintenance schedule?
I see, I only ask the specific because the 6 speed has a common TCM problem where the fluid pressure switches break and then your shifts aren't very smooth. It seems like you have slip the way you explain, I remember reading that the 4 and 6 both have problems with the solenoid actuator, that was common as well. Go get your OBDII scanned; scan the transmission exactly and see if you have a P0989 Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch Circuit Low code, you can do that for free at Autozone or where ever you please. If you have that code on this 6 speed then I must persist you have a blown TCM fluid pressure switch. If you see metallic flakes on your trans dipstick, I can't help you from there it's either both the TCM and worn wave plates or some other problem.
New TCM is relatively $500 for the part but the actual repair of the switches is a 15 dollar kit and you can basically do it yourself. Also check your transmission fluid via dipstick when the engine is warmed after 20 minutes of driving, and look at the color, the level, shine the fluid in a light source to see if any flakes are present. If it doesn't look all that well, get it flushed including the torque converter and refilled with Dexron VI and see if your shifting improves. You don't have much to lose anyhow by draining the fluid for new, a failing transmission is already in your hands. If it does improve for the first 500 miles, and make sure you take it easy during that time, then I persist it is the fluid pressure switches. If not, if your drive is jumping more than a kid in a bounce house then I would suspect slippage. The shifts won't immediately fixed, it''l come back after 400 or 500 miles being changed but they will be smoother so keep that in mind. Also, how many miles are on the car? 60-90,000 miles I presume?
Video is what to look for, below is the 989 code, and a simple guide to the color of trans fluid in case you or anyone else doesn't watch the video.
Sorry for a big post but this is important to know.
So the dealer isn't even doing the work, they sublet to a transmission shop?
I think they do it in house, but I am not 100% sure.
Thank k you for the great information! I will get it scanned and for from there!!
166K on 2014 Blue Ray Metallic 2LTZ with 19s and nav. sadly new trans at 140K. Used to own 1995 DCM SS with only 260K!
I've got 55k on mine (2017 LT2) and have had the same transmission issues since I bought the car (bought with 40k). Everytime I have brought it in for service (at two different dealerships) they have told me there is nothing wrong and that there are no error codes so they can't really do anything for me other than do a relearn to "adapt to my driving". Glad I bought CPO though, because eventually a code is gonna have to pop up because it keeps getting worse. I also get weird downshifts when braking (if I brake to a stop from anything over 35-40 mph you feel the car downshift right before your almost completely stopped, its a very noticeable jolt).
I am actually picking my car up later today from the dealer - I had them check the transmission (and like I said found nothing but did a relearn) and they also replaced the water seals in the trunk (had water pooling in the spare tire compartment), both the rear shocks, and my exhaust intake manifold under the bumper to bumper warranty. Also had to do the front brakes, which for OE is $379. I love the car but man has it had some problems in my first year of ownership, its not looking very promising for the future (but hopefully she proves me wrong).
This car has a brake assist feature that kicks in on semi aggressive braking or downhills. This is completely normal. Even worse than what you just described is while you are in this assist mode and the light in front of you turns green and you start to accelerate sometimes it slams into the next gear.

Our Little Secret by Kerichi
by Kerichi
Left alone with the cousins and grandmother, Scorpius wished he'd found another way to be supportive than telling Rose to take as long as she needed.
"If you want something to do you could ice fairy cakes." The older cousin Dominique's smile was a dare. "Decorate one especially for Rose."
She likely expected him to say no and planned to recount what he said—exaggerating how he'd said it—to the other cousins. He understood her motivation. It must be a challenge to gain attention in such a crowd. Scorpius decided to give her a better tale to tell than "Malfoy sneered." He asked Granny Weasley, "May I?"
"If you like," she said.
He took a seat beside the other cousin, Molly. She scooted away from him. "I'm almost done icing." The look she shot him added, I don't need your help!
"Then I'll decorate." He selected a fairy cake with white icing. The only other alternative was pink. He took out his wand.
Granny Weasley snatched it out of his hand. "HOW DARE YOU—" She broke off, staring at the cake. "Tint the icing," she said in a small voice.
"Rose loves green." Scorpius' calm manner belied a pounding heart. His life hadn't quite flashed before his eyes, but the granny death glare alarmed him considerably. "I'll use wandless magic if you prefer," he said.
"That would be best." Granny Weasley handed back his wand. "Molly being underage and all."
"But Granny, you use—"
"Hush, child, don't interrupt." She patted Molly on the shoulder. "Be a dear and take a pitcher of lemonade outside. People get thirsty."
"I'll do it." Dominique jumped up, eager to tell what happened and become the centre of attention, no doubt. Lily grabbed the pitcher first and sprinted out the door, lemonade sloshing.
Scorpius asked Molly, "How did you plan to decorate the cakes?"
As though she couldn't help but be honest at any cost, she said, freckled face solemn, "Dominique was having you on. We only ice them."
"No matter," he said. "I'll use spells."
"To make what?"
"What would you like?"
Molly considered the matter and said, "Flowers."
"Jasmine, violets or roses?"
"Violets."
"On which cake?"
"All of them."
Conjure sugared violets for dozens of fairy cakes simultaneously without using a wand? That was asking for a brutal headache, which, on further thought, wasn't a terrible consequence. Rose could take him home. "All except this one," he said, setting aside the green fairy cake. He closed his eyes, visualised, and then cast one of his mother's favourite garnish spells.
"Pretty," Molly said.
A single sugared violet topped each fairy cake. Scorpius rubbed his forehead to ease the band of tightness.
"Are you going to conjure roses for Rose?"
"No," he said distractedly, concentrating on the next spell. Three white, sugared jasmine blossoms appeared on green icing.
"Ooh," said Molly. "They're beautiful."
Scorpius' head throbbed with a dull ache. He thanked Molly for her offer to put the fairy cake on a special plate and asked her granny, "May I sit in the lounge?"
"Of course." Granny Weasley sounded almost civil. Pain must have affected his hearing.
He sank into an overstuffed chair and reached up a hand to grab the back of his neck. He'd been wrong. Suffering wasn't worth it. He tried to rub circles the way Rose had, but the tension in his neck remained excruciating.
Abruptly, the pain faded. The knots in his muscles relaxed. Scorpius glanced up to see a pack of redheaded men and a lone dark-haired wizard enter from the kitchen. The dark-haired one held a wand outstretched in a pose similar to one regularly featured on the covers of Super Wizard comics.
Harry Potter, Saviour of the Wizarding World, also cured common headaches. A true hero for all occasions. Scorpius kept his expression carefully neutral. Although Father never spoke ill of Potter, Grandfather Lucius never failed to remind Scorpius who The Boy Who Lived would have killed with a Sectumsempra curse. He muttered, "Thank you."
"Next time take it easy on the wandless magic."
Scorpius glanced toward the staircase. And in his spare time Super Wizard is Super Dad, stating the obvious to the delight of Super Kids. Maybe he should send the idea in as a "fan" suggestion. Creevey would use it.
The Weasley men sat on the sofas adjacent to and facing Scorpius' chair. Harry Potter took the leather chair next to him.
Scorpius peered at the stairs in hope.
"Rose and Roxy are very close," Rose's father said. "They have long conversations."
So she won't save me from gang interrogation. "That's nice." He avoided direct eye contact with any of the men and kept his own mental defences firmly in place.
"Did your father teach you Occlumency?" Harry Potter asked after a few minutes. It must have dawned that Scorpius wasn't naturally shifty-eyed or going to respond to standard Auror tactics. He wasn't the get-nervous-and-babble type.
"Draco learned it from your Aunt Bellatrix, did he tell you that?" asked the uncle with hair almost as long as Scorpius'. George Weasley pushed back his hair to reveal a blackened hole where an ear should be.
"Did she do that to you?" Scorpius asked.
Then why flash the cursed wound? For the hell of it?
The next person to break the war of silence was the granddad. "There's a picture of you and Rose on the front page of today's Prophet. Have you seen it?"
"No." Rose's father must have hidden it. Or burned it. Rather decent of him and Mrs. Weasley not to mention it at breakfast.
Granddad Weasley leaned forward. "Your grandfather has seen it, I assure you."
Possibly. Scorpius reckoned it depended on how late the Knights of Walpurgis celebrated after the knighting ceremony. With any luck, Lucius and the others would remain passed out until the evening. Unless they didn't hold a ceremony, unless Grandfather asked them to postpone it. He asked Rose's father, "When a house is Unplottable, how do owls deliver the post? Does magic guide them directly to the person a letter's addressed to?"
Ron Weasley's face darkened. "You get any letters, I'll know—and I'll be reading them."
"And if there's a threat we'll deal with it," said the man with scars across his face. Bill Weasley.
Scorpius could see the menacing turn the conversation was starting to take and racked his brain to derail it. Rose's Uncle Bill was a famous Curse Breaker, husband of a Veela . . . and author of a certain letter to the advice columnist at the Prophet. "I remember your Four Simple Rules for Dating My Daughter," Scorpius said. His parents had laughed.
Uncle Bill said, "That was a few years ago."
"They were memorable."
"Name one."
"If you want romance, read a book."
"I've got a library," said Rose's father.
"Yes," Scorpius said. "I spent time in there this morning. Pride and Prejudice. Interesting story."
Harry Potter asked, "Which part?"
"Different ones." Scorpius covertly checked to see if Rose was on her way downstairs. She wasn't.
"Can't have been interesting if you don't remember," said Uncle Bill.
Scorpius said, "You have widely mistaken my character, if you think I can be worked on by such persuasions as these. How far your nephew might approve of your interference in his affairs, I cannot tell; but you certainly have no right to concern yourself in mine."
"Is he talking about Hugo?" Uncle Percy asked Rose's father, who shook his head.
"I think he was quoting."
Chapter fifty-six, to be precise: information Scorpius kept to himself. He'd opened his mouth enough.
Harry Potter said, "Do you remember things word for word?"
"When it'll impress a girl," Scorpius said. "Which uncle are you? Percy?"
While the real Uncle Percy spluttered, Harry Potter said, "All these years your father's never pointed me out?"
"Not once." His father believed in living in the present.
"Then let me introduce myself. I'm Harry Potter."
Scorpius shook the man's hand with his grandfather's words ringing in his ears.
He humiliated your father . . . made his name a joke . . . attempted to murder him.
Scorpius turned to check the stairs and saw a ghostly raccoon dart into the lounge. It scurried over and jumped onto his lap.
"Why is Rose sending you her Patronus?" her father asked sharply.
"Roxanne is upset and needs to talk. Rose won't be coming downstairs for a while." Scorpius stood. "I'll wait for her outside." He addressed the granddad, the eldest. "If you'll excuse me, sir."
Granddad Weasley slowly nodded. "You may be excused."
The area between Scorpius' shoulder blades prickled until he reached the kitchen.
He found five women huddled around the end of the table listening to the voices rising like steam from the mouth of a glazed earthenware pitcher. The handle of the pitcher was in the shape of an enormous ear.
Don't go after him, son.
But, Dad!
Granny Weasley waved her wand.
The kitchen was silent for a moment, and then Rose's mother said, "I'd say the last voice was Ron's, but the pitch wasn't quite right."
"It was George," said Ginny Potter. "When we were growing up he and Fred used to say that in chorus."
The golden-haired woman Rose had identified as Aunt Audrey said, "He probably wanted to know what Rose said about Roxanne."
"What did she say?" asked Fleur Weasley, arching a silvery-blonde eyebrow at Scorpius. Her regal, French-accented voice dripped with confidence that he would answer simply because she had asked. Grandmother Narcissa pulled the same trick. It worked better on shop clerks than family.
Scorpius repeated what they undoubtedly already heard, "Roxanne's upset," and walked out the back door.
One look at the sea of unfriendly faces was all it took to make him keep on walking.
Lily ran after him. "Hey! What happened? Where's Rose? Where are you going?"
"Rose is still talking to Roxanne, and I'm going to see a boy about a toad," Scorpius replied as he strode toward the tree house visible at the far rear of the garden.
The miniature house hung suspended by magic, with steps transfigured out of the oak's trunk acting as a ladder. His father had never allowed him to have a tree house. They were too dangerous. He started climbing.
"Who goes there?" called a gruff young voice.
"Scorpius."
Lysander Scamander's head popped into view, grinning from the square entrance in the tree house floor. "Hullo!"
"Hello. Permission to come aboard?"
Lucy Weasley's face appeared beside her friend's. "It's a tree house, not a ship, silly. Come on up!"
Scorpius waited for them to move away from the opening and did as instructed. The space was much larger inside. Through the window, he could see family members gazing at the tree house. He ducked down and sat on the floor.
"So," he said, "Are the toads still kissing?" On the opposite side of the tree house, near a jam pot glowing blue from the enchanted fire inside, the amphibians faced each other, apparently transfixed.
"No," Lucy said. "You missed it. We're reading comics now." She waved a hand toward the jumbled stack between her and Lysander.
Scorpius clamped down on the urge to straighten the magazines. They weren't his, they didn't have to be in order. "Muggle or wizard?" he asked. He had never read a Muggle comic.
"Wizard," said Lucy.
Lysander threw down the one he was flipping through. "This one's pretty good. I've read it four times."
"That's not the way to treat art," Scorpius said, picking up the comic. He stared. "This is a copy of Amazing Comics number one. Less than a hundred of these exist. It's the most valuable comic for a given condition, even over Super Wizard volume one, number one."
"Teddy gave it to us," Lucy said.
Teddy Lupin, Scorpius presumed. "Did he tell you to clean your hands before you handle comics, to pick them up by the open edge, top or bottom?"
She shook her head.
"Where do you store them?"
"Over there," said Lysander.
Behind the toads was a small trunk.
Scorpius said, "Tell me there's an acid-free stasis box inside."
Lysander's face fell and then brightened. "There's action figures!" He raced over and came back with a mound of toys bundled in the hem of his t-shirt. "Regular Super Wizard, Aura Sensor Super Wizard, Warlock Zod, Wonder Witch, Gold Goblin, Professor Doomsday, Mastermind, Green Knight—"
"I'll take that one," Scorpius said, plucking the green helmeted figure out from the jumble of toys.
"You like him 'cause he's a hero even though people think he's bad?" Lysander dumped the action figures onto the planked floor and picked up Auror Sensor Super Wizard, clicking the aura wheel in his hand to orange. "Your aura shows power. Use it for good."
Lucy picked up the Wonder Witch toy. "What colour's my aura?"
"White. You're sick."
"No I'm not!"
"Yes you are," Lysander said. "Professor Doomsday poisoned you." He picked up the sneering wizard with a hooked nose. "Nothing can save you now," he said in a hissing voice.
"The Green Knight will save me!" Lucy made Wonder Witch run to Scorpius. "Won't you?"
Lysander said, "Super Wizard's supposed to save you!" He traded the aura-sensing toy for Regular Super Wizard. "I'm your super best mate!"
"You're super-stupid! You let him poison me!"
"You can help me save her," Scorpius said. "Be my super sidekick."
Lucy made her character jump up and down. "I want to be your sidekick too!"
Wonder Witch was fit in a crimson bikini showing beneath sheer gold robes. The Green Knight graciously bowed his acceptance.
The super trio was about to trap Professor Doomsday in his laboratory on top of the trunk when a voice from below said, "Time for dinner!"
"But, Mum! Wonder Witch will die if we don't get the poison's antidote!" Lysander yelled.
Scorpius took advantage of the boy's distraction to have the Green Knight kick Professor Doomsday off the trunk. "I've saved the day," he said. "Game over."
"You're my hero!" Wonder Witch pressed her face against the Green Knight's.
Lysander shook his Super Wizard toy. "I helped. Snog me!"
Lucy obliged and made kissing noises.
Scorpius headed down the ladder rapidly as possible.
"Thank you for playing with the children," said the woman Scorpius recognised as Luna Scamander. She wore a giant nest on her head as a hat. There were speckled eggs in it. She drifted over to call through the tree house "door", "Did you tidy up, Lysander?"
Scorpius heard the sound of flapping of pages, several thuds, and then a bang. The two had thrown everything into the trunk and slammed the lid. He tried to think positive. My near mint condition collection just became more valuable.
On the walk back across the garden, Lucy and Lysander ran ahead.
Luna Scamander tilted her head to see past the twigs. "I must say, I think you're doing awfully well. One of Dominique's friends ran off screaming."
How encouraging. "There's Rose," he said, relieved to see her exit the house. "A pleasure to meet you, ma'am."
"Love without measure is man's greatest pleasure," Mrs. Scamander replied.
Scorpius walked faster.
A/N: When inspiration comes to me, I use it, whether it's sugared edible flowers; one of "8 Simple Rules" from a TV show of the same name; the Ravenclaw House motto (I'd like to think "Love without measure" could be another motto, if less well known, heh; quotes from Jane Austen (Pride and Prejudice chapter 56, page 162) ; the old expression Little pitchers have big ears (first recorded in 1546) that means children hear and understand more than you think they do (the play is on the shape of an ear resembling the handle of a pitcher—I made it literal), or Superman comics (changing Action Comics #1 to Amazing and Wonder Woman to Wonder Witch, etc.). I enjoyed the thought of Teddy's eyes getting huge as Bill laid down the "rules" for dating his daughter, and Scorpius conditioned by Lucius to dislike Harry Potter, yet at the same time owning every Super Wizard comic thanks to his mother (and no, I'm not a comic geek, I had to look that stuff up).

Uploaded By: PRESIDENT on September 9th, 2021
William Paul Joseph Haynes - Born March 1, 1910 in Montreal, Quebec – Died May 12, 1989 in Montreal, Quebec was a Canadian ice Hockey centre, coach and scout.
Growing up in Montreal, well if you are a boy, most likely you will play Hockey, especially in the 1920s. Haynes attended Loyola College, a hotbed of Hockey teams. He also was a star boxer and quarterback for their football team, but Hockey was where his heart was at.
Haynes helped the Montreal AAA win the 1930 Allan Cup.
Haynes was then signed by the NHL Montreal Maroons for the 1930-31 season, scoring his 1st NHL goal on John Ross Roach of the New York Rangers on November 25, 1930.
Haynes played 19 games with the Maroons, scoring just 1 goal before they sent him to the Windsor Bulldogs, their farm team for the remainder of the season. Haynes helped the Bulldogs win the F. G. "Teddy" Oke Trophy as 1931 International Hockey League / IHL champions. On the team with Haynes was Baldy Northcott, a star with the Maroons that also split his 1930-31 season between Windsor and Montreal. Playing goal was NHA & NHL legend Clint Benedict who was capping off his playing career with the Bulldogs.
Haynes was back in Montreal the next season, and would play for both the Bulldogs and Maroons for the next three seasons.
His best season with the Maroons came in 1932-33, scoring 16 goals (25 assists).
Haynes played the first 7 games of the 1934-35 season with the Maroons, and then he was traded to the Boston Bruins, where he finished the season, playing 37 games, scoring 4 goals (3 assists). Boston traded Haynes to the Montreal Canadiens for Jack Riley, September 30, 1935.
Now playing for the Canadiens, Haynes would focus on his skills as a defensive centre. He was not a pure goal scorer, but more of a setup man. He did score 13 goals (22 assists) playing on a line with Toe Blake and Johnny Gagnon during the 1937-38 season.
Haynes served as a pallbearer for teammate and Canadiens legend Howie Morenz at his funeral in March, 1937 at The Forum in Montreal.
Haynes was cut from the Canadiens seven games into the 1940-41 season by coach Dick Irvin because he missed a pre-game team dinner at their hotel in New York with the Canadiens prior to a game with the New York Rangers. Why did he miss the practice ? To attend the opera in Manhattan. He joined the New Haven Eagles of the American Hockey League / AHL to finish out the season and his pro Hockey career. Haynes played 31 games with the Eagles, scoring 3 goals (11 assists).
Haynes returned to Montreal and the Canadiens, but as a scout and coach for the Montreal Senior Canadiens of the Quebec Senior Hockey League / QSHL. It was there that Haynes would affect Hockey history, as a young player named Maurice Richard was on the team, playing left wing in 1941. Haynes had noted his strong backhand shot and explosive speed with exceptional strength and decided to move Richard to right wing, which would give him more opportunities of scoring. Haynes later recommended Richard to Dick Irvin for the NHL Canadiens, and he would later turn into "Rocket Richard"

State of the Climate 2018: Bureau of Meteorology and CSIRO
Michael Grose and Lynette Bettio
Michael Grose is the Lead Chief Investigator in the ESCC Hub's Project 2.6: Regional climate projections science, information and services, which is contributed to State of the Climate 2018.
State of the Climate 2018 is the latest biennial snapshot of climate change in Australia. It focuses on observed long-term trends that are happening now and are likely to continue into the near future, as well as significant climate events that have occurred over the past two years. These changes are described through the latest observations from CSIRO and Bureau of Meteorology marine, atmospheric and terrestrial monitoring programs.
The report also summarises the latest climate research from Australia and around the world. This will help inform a range of economic, environmental and social risk assessments and responses by government, industry and communities.
Read more: State of the Climate 2016: Bureau of Meteorology and CSIRO
Multiple lines of evidence show the climate system changing in ways that are discernible from natural variability, and consistent with a human influence on climate. These changes are having an impact on our natural and built environment.
In particular, climate change is being felt through an increase in the frequency and severity of high-impact weather events such as heatwaves, extreme fire weather conditions, coastal inundation and marine heatwaves. These trends are projected to continue.
Some of the report's major findings are described below.
Passing major milestones
Australia's average air temperature has warmed by just over 1℃ since national records began in 1910. Oceans around Australia have also warmed by around 1℃ since 1910.
Annual mean temperature over Australia and the seas surrounding Australia.
Bureau of Meteorology, Author provided
Atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide are rising globally. Emissions from the burning of fossil fuels continue to increase, and are the main contributor to the rise in CO₂, with some contribution from changes in land use.
Atmospheric CO₂ concentrations measured at Cape Grim, Tasmania (one of three main global measuring stations, alongside Mauna Loa, Hawaii, and Nunavut, Canada), have persisted at levels above 400 parts per million (ppm) since 2016. What's more, the combined concentration of all greenhouse gases exceeded the equivalent of 500 ppm CO₂ in mid-2018. These milestones haven't been crossed for at least 800,000 years, and likely 2 million years.
Changes in the atmosphere and land
Australia's warming trend has led to an increase in the frequency of extreme heat events. For example, very high monthly maximum temperatures that used to occur around 2% of the time (based on the average for 1951–80) now happen about 12% of the time (2003–17).
Other elements of Australia's climate have also shown long-term changes. New analysis techniques now provide a more detailed picture of changes to fire weather through time. The annual total of daily values of the Forest Fire Danger Index is increasing over large areas of Australia. Most regions also saw an increase in the most extreme 10% of fire weather days, and fire seasons have lengthened.
Rainfall in April–October has been steadily decreasing in Western Australia's Southwest, and has decreased since the 1990s in southeast Australia. In contrast, rainfall has increased in parts of northern Australia since the 1970s.
The observed long-term reduction in rainfall across southern Australia has led to even greater reductions in streamflow. Long-term average streamflow has decreased in most regions of southern Australia, and increased in regions of northern Australia.
A warmer atmosphere can hold more moisture, and this is an important driver of the observed increase in the intensity of short-duration rainfall, sometimes linked to flash flooding. Southern Australia is projected to experience decreases in average rainfall and more time spent in drought. Meanwhile, most of the country can expect an increase in rainfall intensity.
Historically, significant weather and climate events are often the result of the combined influence of several extreme factors at once. Higher temperatures during periods of below-average rainfall, for instance, can exacerbate drought conditions. Temperature, dryness and wind come together to create dangerous bushfire conditions.
Trend in the annual sum of Forest Fire Danger Index, 1978–2017.
Changes in the ocean
The warming in Australia's oceans has contributed to longer and more frequent marine heatwaves – defined as periods when sea surface temperatures are much warmer than average. The world's oceans are a crucial moderator of the climate, taking up more than 90% of the extra heat in the system – most of it is absorbed by the Southern Ocean.
Sea levels continue to rise through the combined effects of warming oceans and melting ice from land-based glaciers and ice sheets. Global average sea level has risen by more than 20cm since 1880, but the rate varies from place to place. About 25% of the CO₂ emitted by human activity diffuses into the oceans, making them more acidic in the process.
The past two years, 2016 and 2017, have seen back-to-back bleaching events in parts of the Great Barrier Reef, linked to marine heatwave events. These changes are very likely linked to warming oceans, and primarily driven by the human influence on the climate.
Global sea level change from 1880 estimated from tide gauges and satellites.
CSIRO, Author provided
Well-established scientific theory and climate model studies both show that the warming would largely not have occurred without the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations. In addition, the current increase in temperatures accords with projections made nearly 30 years ago. Warming is projected to continue into the future as the effect of past emissions continue, and more greenhouse gases are emitted. Australia is projected to experience increases in sea and air temperatures, with more hot days and marine heatwaves, and fewer cool extremes.
It takes time for the climate system to warm in response to increases in greenhouse gases, and the historical emissions over the past century have locked in some warming over the next two decades, regardless of any changes we might make to global emissions in that period. However, by the mid-21st century, higher ongoing emissions of greenhouse gases will lead to greater warming and associated impacts, and reducing emissions will lead to less warming and fewer associated impacts.
Australian average annual temperature 1861-1900 period in observations and global climate models.
State of the Climate 2018 can be read on either the Bureau of Meteorology or CSIRO websites. The online report includes an extensive list of references and useful links.
You can also watch accompanying behind-the-scenes videos on our research on climate extremes and ocean warming.

Hurro-Urartian as a sister to Indo-European
Thread: Hurro-Urartian as a sister to Indo-European
tyuiopman
Hurro-Urartian (HU) is a now extinct language family that was spoken in the Bronze Age/Iron Age Near East that consisted of two distinct languages: Hurrian and Urartian. Some compelling evidence has linked a third language, Kassite, to the HU family, but this relationship is uncertain.
Officially, the HU family is unrelated to any other linguistic families, although there have been attempts to link it to other, primarily Caucasus-based, linguistic families. An oft-cited, and oft-misunderstood, theory asserts that the speakers of Proto-Hurro-Urartian (i.e. the theoretical, unattested common ancestor to both Hurrian and Urartian) were in close contact with speakers of early languages/dialects of Northeast Caucasian.
The late French linguist Emmanuel Laroche, who specialized in both Indo-European and Hurrian languages, proposed that there was a genetic relationship between HU and Proto-Indo-European (PIE). More recently, French linguist Arnaud Fournet and American linguist Allan R. Bomhard have continued Laroche's work, comparing HU and PIE vocabularies, morphologies, and syntaxes to one another.
In a paper from last week, Fournet has taken this research one step further and suggests that Hurro-Urartian is a branch of the IE language family that broke off from IE prior to Anatolian (Hittite, Luwian, etc) separating from the main dialect of IE. In other words, Fournet argues that HU descends from a very early dialect of IE, and is a sister language group to PIE, in much the same way David Reich and others suggest occurred with Anatolian languages like Hittite.
Many researchers have speculated that Proto-Hurro-Urartian was spoken by the Kura-Araxes people (a Bronze Age civilization that spread out from the South Caucasus to cover much of the Near East from the Mediterranean to the Caspian). If this was the case, then HU developed in a similar geographic region to where Pre-Proto-Indo-European was spoken, which could support Laroche's/Fournet's/Bomhard's theory. This could also explain the theorized links to various Caucasus language families.
I think it's an interesting idea, but what I don't understand is why these similarities couldn't be explained by mutual influence from Indo-European languages--for example Hurrian and Urartian coming into contact with Hittite, Luwian, Indo-Iranian, Armenian, Phrygian, and Mushki languages. But Fournet asserts that "most Hurrian words with probable or established meanings are derived from PIE" or comparable to PIE, so it seems like he's suggesting these words have to be native Hurrian and not loans.

It would be more like a cousin to proto indo european probably.

Interestingly, thanks a lot for making some points clear.

Perhaps Founet shouldn't call the main family "Indo European" but something else, or add some clarifier--like Primary Indo-European.

Everyone is always going on and on about cat videos and while I don't mind that angry cat with the squashed face, cats generally I can scroll on by. Now dogs.....dogs in clothes pretending they are Beyonce, well that my friends is a whole different laughing matter. Rolling around the floor, bumping into things funny that is.
Dogs in turbans, articles about the meaning of life, news articles about the extreme states of the world, tech success stories and business advice that connects to my particular problem on a particular day all get my attention.
Now, I imagine you are visualising me opening multiple apps, tapping through to Facebook, then LinkedIn, zooming in on ABC News and finally resting on Instagram ramped up on coffee looking to be informed and entertained. Nope I'm on Facebook. It's 3pm, I'm not allowed to have anymore caffeine because it will have me thinking about death and finances at 3am. So, to give myself a desperately needed ping of dopamine I am lazily scrolling through the one place that has all the stuff.
Humans are messy, all over the place content readers. We don't compartmentalise like it feels we should. Our heads mash up business, animals, kids, funny things, sad things all in one giant twisted ball of plasticine and we don't read things in the nice pretty places that makes sense to read things. A US study (because I can't find an Australian one) says on average people spend 50 minutes a day on Facebook and 2 minutes on LinkedIn.
You read it right people '2 minutes a day on LinkedIn'. Think I'm crazy, here's some real live client stats right here. See the difference in engagement from LinkedIn to Facebook. We were posting pure B2B Content and it had a 6.5% click through rate on Facebook and a 1.6% conversion on LinkedIn.
So while I know it feels right to spend all your online or digital marketing budget on social media that wears a suit, you also need to be where your B2B audience are engaged, and that is on Facebook.
And you know what that means right? It means your business to business online marketing is taking on the big boys. It is taking on... den, den, dennnnn.....the DOG SINGING 'I LOVE YOU'.
'AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH - How on earth do I compete!' I hear you scream helplessly.
Make your online marketing about your customers not about you.
Everyone knows a time when they felt physical and emotional pain at being stuck near someone at a BBQ that went on and on and on and on about their topic of choice, while you stand there like a block of wood knowing that interaction is neither wanted or required but escape would mean a social awkwardness.
1) Whats are they struggling with? What could you education them on that would ease the struggle and point them in the direction of success?
2) What are they scared of and what could you produce to shine a light on an issue which would allay their fears?
3) What topical issues do they need to know to keep their knowledge up to date in their field?
4) What will make their long days brighter and more interesting?
Here's an example of an eBook we did for Noojee. Noojee is one of Australia's leading Call Centre SaaS businesses. One of their primary audiences is Call Centre Managers. Do Call Centre Managers want to read about Call Centre Software? On most days, no. On most days they are worried about how to keep their hard to engage call centre operators motivated and how to stop them from crying in the toilet when they don't make their targets.
From talking to Call Centre Managers on Noojee's behalf, we know that most of these people are 'people, people'. They are interested in how people tick and they are keen to keep their teams happy. They also know that by keeping their teams happy and motivated, they will produce better results. Better results mean a bigger bonus at the end of year. Hoorah! The world is a better and happier place. That's why we produced an eBook and a series of blogs for Noojee around just this topic.
On going content like this has seen Noojee's site traffic increase by 67%, time on page increase by 40% and lead generation by 37%. Exciting stuff right?
The temptation in B2B is to copy the other guys, copy what has worked in the past. Look to green pastures with your content, wriggle out from what the other guys are doing. Being bold and being different gives you a chance to stay ahead of the pack. To stand out, to make people want to choose you, you need to have a point of difference, to stand for something. Make sure your content is reliably you, not a copycat of another company.
Don't think because you're talking business it needs to be monotone. A lot depends on our jobs, but I think we can see with how much time we actually give to business platforms i.e 1 minute - where our heads are at a good portion of the time. Apply the rules of B2C digital marketing right back through to B2B content. It needs to be interesting and creative enough so we can pique people's interest and make them pay attention. Due to social niceties they might sit through a long and boring powerpoint presentation in a board room, but behind the doors of social media they are doing what they like.
Here's an awesome example of creative B2B content for Volvo Trucks which to date has had 72 million Youtube views.
No matter how awesome you've made your content your dollars aren't going to work as hard if you have accidentally included Gen Y in your targeting and your key audience is 50 year old men. B2C brands love millennials with their confident ways and disposable incomes. B2B tech brands often love the decision making Gen Xs and Boomers. Getting your targeting right lowers the noise and clutter and stops wasted money on impressions.
Do you want to bow out of the fight against the 'Dramatic Chimpmunk'?
Then you need to make sure that your content appears after a Google tap tap taparoo. The most creative, interesting, beautifully written, gorgeously designed (you get the picture) content is only using half its power if it can only be found through paid advertising. What you really want is to be there when your customer are wanting help with problems, help with deciding and help finding who to trust. That means your content must be search engine friendly.
Finally, once your online marketing grabs attention, make sure to catch 'em like a fly in your content web.
So you've come up against the cat flushing the toilet and you've won. Someone has chosen to read a bit of your content, handed over an email address. Don't let this wonderful person wither on the content vine. Make sure you have a way to gently nudge them, like a soft, velvety, nosed horse down the purchase funnel.
This means creating content through the awareness stage, consideration stage and decision stage. Here's an example of topics we did for Noojee Telephony that outlined the content we would make through every stage.
Content that can hold its own against animals, envy inducing holidays, hillbillies playing ACDC and breathtaking world wonders is an asset. Build yourself a bank of content that competes against the real world, put it where the real world can see it and watch it blossom into one of the hardest working members of your sales team.
Still not convinced that taking a different approach to your online marketing is worth it? Check out our story about two men and a race to the South Pole, to see why taking a risk could be worth it, even if you're a B2B tech business.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. What's playing on your Spotify or Apple Music playlist? What songs were playing during the biggest moments of your life? The Angeles Chorale's concert Come Together: The Soundtrack of Our Lives is an exciting and eclectic mix of music to please all musical tastes! This is the final concert of the chorale's 43rd season Stories: Life Set to Song, and promises to close out the season on a high note with new works and re-imagined favorites for a night to remember. With incredible soloists, special guest Charles Constant and ArtistsPlus' beautiful choreography, you won't want to miss this unique concert on Saturday, June 9th at 7:30pm at First United Methodist Church of Pasadena.
Come Together: The Soundtrack of Our Lives explores music ranging from choral classics from Brahms and Mozart's Laudate Dominum and Lacrymosa, which Artistic Director John Sutton describes as "haunting and exquisitely beautiful," to works from Irving Berlin (complete with a stunning Jazz trio!). Also included in the program are Beatles favorites like Blackbird and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Carmina Burana's O Fortuna (like you've never heard it before), plus Led Zeppelin's iconic Stairway to Heaven and U2's I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For. "The versatility of this concert is truly unique. Not many choirs can do this," says Sutton.
In addition to the incredible choral music you'll hear, the Angeles Chorale is excited to continue their season long partnership with ArtistsPlus Productions, featuring the incredible choreography and dancers led by the creative and passionate Diane De Franco Browne and Shauna Goddard. Charles Constant will narrate the evening, adding an intimate and immersive experience for the audience members. Also featured in Come Together: The Soundtrack of Our Lives is a top notch band, and guest soloist David Loucks, who some may recognize from his singing on ABC's Dancing with the Stars.
Saturday, June 9th, at 7:30 p.m.
The Angeles Chorale is an all-volunteer, professional-level, auditioned group of 100 Angelenos from all walks of life, aged 21 to over 80, brought together by their shared passion for great choral music. Their mission is to engage, enrich and inspire audiences, singers, and their diverse community by performing great choral music with a passionate commitment to excellence, and to increase access to and appreciation of choral music in greater Los Angeles. Recent Angeles Chorale performance highlights include A John Williams Celebration with the LA Phil at Disney Hall, and Barbra Streisand's Back to Brooklyn concert at the Hollywood Bowl. In 2014 the chorale was featured with the LA Phil at the Hollywood Bowl in An Evening of Chinese Splendor and in 2015 the Angeles Chorale performed in Distant Worlds: Music from Final Fantasy at the Microsoft Theater. In December 2015 the Angeles Chorale released An American Christmas, recorded live in concert and featuring works by Morten Lauridsen, Alfred Burt, and Randol Alan Bass. Next month, the Chorale will be the featured choir for Final Fantasy XIV at the Dolby Theatre.

A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work and persistence. Without being passionate and the willingness to work hard, no one can achieve success. To be a champion, I think one has to see the big picture. It's not about winning and losing; it's about everyday hard work and about thriving on a challenge. It's about embracing pain that you'll experience at end of a race and not being afraid. My success may have been extraordinary, but the path towards it can be summed up in the age old adage-"Practice makes a man perfect". All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them. I ensured I got up early ,did a little bit of exercise, avoided junk food and social networking sites . Internet is not just Facebook and Instagram. It offers boundless opportunities for learning via interactive animations, video lectures and question banks. I made extensive use of these when I needed to go beyond what my books could offer. I believe if one wants to score high, having a schedule for study is necessary. The credit of my success goes to our honourable Principal Sir, teachers and my parents who always stood by my side and motivated me from time to time. I feel proud of being an alumni of Sukriti World School and now a Maulanian.
In the world of great Jimmy Dear "You cannot change the direction of winds, but if you can adjust your sails, you can reach your destination" for me, the adjustments of sails to reach my destination was carried out by my school and parents. My story of excellence in Board Examinations was not just my solo effort, but it was a consequence of effective endeavour of my school and parents. My school provided me the appropriate environment throughout my growing years. The discipline that environment brought to me, became the backbone of principles on which I will continue to live my life. My school continuously evaluated me, made me believe in my potential and ignited the fire inside me to work harder. I tried to bring an appropriate balance in my studies, focusing more on quality than quantity. I studied hard from the first day of my class and I was determined to give my best. I believe in the dictum"Practice makes a man perfect" and don't believe in last minute miracles. I heartily express my gratitude to all teachers who worked upon me and enhanced my skills. I am indebted to our honorable Principal sir who motivated me from time to time and kept my hunger alive for achieving my goals.
"I kept my focus clear towards the goal and I knew the fact that it was not about just clearing the CBSE exam; it was about getting the rank in the NEET to secure the future. CBSE class XII exams were always my first priority and I am really thankful to my school teachers who helped in getting through my exams. I really feel blessed to have the teachers who always supported me and had faith in me. I am also thankful to my Principal Sir who always helped me whenever I was in any problem. I firmly believe that there is no other mantra for success except hard work. I advise everyone to be simple and try to evolve new concepts in theory.
"There is no substitute for Hard Work," --Thomas A. Edison Reaching to top constitutes a lot of hard work and preparation. I believe time management is the key to success. It is imperative to manage your time well and plan everything out in advance. Study throughout the year instead of just cramming during exams, work smart and have realistic goals – these were the simple strategies of success adopted by me for my board examination. I used to write and rewrite everything I studied. It wasn't a matter of studying or remembering before the exams, I wanted to understand things and it was only if I could teach myself. A healthy environment both at home and school, time management, working on everyone's expectations helped me score high in board examinations.
"The word impossible does not exist for me and I have the strong conviction that everything is possible when a man is determined." And it is this belief which helped me in my examination. I gave importance to all ways of preparations, be it school or self-study, as everything has its own relevance. I followed a time table religiously that consisted of alternate study of easy and tough subjects and was regular with my studies throughout the year. My main focus was to correct my shortcomings and to reinforce what I already knew. The encouragement and efforts of my teachers and parents contributed to my success in board examination. My Principal Sir always taught me to believe in myself and never to take any stress. I believe to get success in life one ought to control his/her desire, direct action to a specific aim, live simple and think high rather than paying more attention to fashion, friends and luxury items.
