Information is the key to successful business today.
You need to be able to act on your information and protect it.
To use information, we all rely on secure networks, a solid IT strategy, our laptops, phones, and computers; apps; email; servers; the cloud; and the 1,002 other information technology-related tools we all use to make decisions internally and work with our customers externally.
Many companies continue to think that doing everything themselves is a good idea.
It's not.
At least not all the time.
There are three IT functions you can easily stop doing yourself. Doing so will save you time, money, and aggravation. These IT functions are:
Data backup
Managing your network (and security)
Phone system
These IT functions are needed by every business. I think of them as "lights on" IT. While they don't provide competitive advantage, without them your business can't function to full capacity.
You don't create your own electricity.
You don't need to perform any of these functions in-house either.
What you do need is the time and budget to think creatively about how to improve your business offerings and make your customers happy. Outsourcing these business functions allow you to do that.
Data Backup
You need more than one copy of your information so backup is critical for every company. We've all experienced a laptop or PC crash and losing a document we slaved over for hours – and then having to spend more hours recreating it.
That's annoying on a personal scale. When you lose data your business relies on, that goes from annoying to potentially crippling. So be sure you are backing up your data!
But backup is, frankly, a pain. Equipment needs to be updated and maintained. Physical media, such as tape, can break or be lost. Scheduled backup windows can be missed. Data can be corrupted and should be periodically checked to ensure that recovery of data is possible.
Most importantly, many SMBs simply don't back up their data. Not only can you go out of business if you lose access to all of your business documents and customer information, data backup is one way to protect yourself from ransomware.
Call Me - Business Phones
Often overlooked is that you can free up internal IT resources by outsourcing your business phone system, especially with a voice over IP (VoIP) communication platform.
Think about the time you can save from not having to
Monitor your bandwidth to identify bottlenecks and choke points to optimize your network for traffic
Figure out if jitter is a VoIP problem or a sign of an overall network usage issue?
Understand baseline traffic patterns to help plan future capacity and upgrades
On top of not having your IT staff troubleshooting phone issues, if you're still on an outdated PBX phone system, a move to VoIP can cost less and deliver more functionality. VoIP is also great for business continuity.
Network Management and Maintenance
Small businesses have limited resources to devote to information technology. Today, a network is the cost of doing business, not a competitive advantage. The competitive advantage in IT comes from looking at opportunities to use IT to streamline business processes and serve customers better.
It's better to devote those resources you do have to the technology and strategy that will make a difference, not just in keeping the lights on for your business. IT networks can be outsourced in whole or in part. A partner can work with you to identify your needs and then either supplement your IT staff or essentially become your IT department.
The security challenges of managing a network can overwhelm smaller IT departments. Keeping up with patches and the latest security threats from ever-evolving cybercriminals is hard. As I've written about before, it's going to be harder to hire security experts because there's a shortage of cybersecurity skills and it's growing larger.
What are you waiting for? Start planning now and enter 2018 able to focus on growing your business, not worrying about managing basic IT functions that an IT services partner can do better than you can.

Charlie Roberts qualifies in Mogul competition
Despite skiing his whole life Charlie Roberts only started competing with Sun Peaks Freestyle Club four years ago. The 13-year-old excels in Slopestyle but now is making a name for himself in Moguls as the only athlete from Sun Peaks heading to the Junior National Moguls Championship in Lac Beauport, Que., March 13 to 17.
"Our team, we're not very good at Moguls. We've never had a podium in Moguls, everybody thinks it's just crazy someone's going for moguls, not slopestyle," said Roberts.
Qualifying for the championship based on his performance in the BC Timber Tour, Roberts was an alternate to compete for B.C. in the Slopestyle competition at the Junior National Park & Pipe Championships March 8 to 10.
With no formal Mogul course at Sun Peaks, Roberts has been training by riding bumps on 5th Avenue.
"I've skied enough mogul courses at competitions to know what they're like so I know what's coming," he said. "It's probably going to be a really nice one (the course), a long one with big bumps. It's going to be fun but definitely kind of scary."
Competing in both single and dual Moguls Roberts didn't let on to which event he prefers to ski, stating both have their ups and downs, but he typically skis better in the singles competitions.
Roberts is looking to learn as much as he can from his coaches and soak in the experience of his national debut.
"In the single Moguls I want to get at least top 10. And in the dual Moguls I want to advance to the second round, that would be pretty good."
To get him to Quebec Robert's parents organized a fundraiser on social media which quickly raised the funds necessary for the trip
Roberts said he feels the community support behind him.
"Sun Peaks… they're happy for me."

21001 Tatum Blvd, Ste 1010, Phoenix, AZ 85050
Mon. – Thurs. 11 am -12 am n Fri. – Sat. 11 am -1 am n Sun. – 11 am -12 am
Due to late August heat, our DRCA Review Team chose to review "lighter fare" of salads and Neapolitan Pizza. Neapolitan-style pizza typically consists of a thin and soft crust (if it is cooked properly at a high temperature, the crust will bubble up and be charred in spots) that is topped with a simple tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella cheese, and fresh basil. We checked out the recently open MidiCi: The Neapolitan Pizza Restaurant that's located within Desert Ridge Marketplace just southeast of the Verizon Store. It features mostly non-GMO food products and we found this environment to be both upscale and trendy, offering great values at more reasonable prices than you'd expect to find when you walked in the front door.

We love the contemporary ambience with high ceilings and white interior that was lively with upbeat yet not overwhelming upbeat music. Old Italian Cinema was projected onto the south wall right above the "diner style" longish bar that oversees view of food preparation/cooking and two active wood-fire stoves. Following today's "popular self-service trend" we got into line near the entrance to place our order, next proceeding to get our beverage glasses along the same south wall that also housed our eating utensils and narrow, but wide, plates we would use to share salads and pizza on. Since we had more than 4 in our party we opted to sit in the "high top stools family style dining area" across from each other along a super sturdy beer hall type long table.
From their list of six Appetizers we opted to split one order of the House Meat and Cheese Plate since it's the only appetizer that "serves 2." All of us loved this as it consisted of black truffle cheese, goat cheese, Parmigiano-Reggiano, tartufo, prosciutto, spicy Italian salami, served with two mustards, olives, walnuts, pears, dates, honey and wood-fire toasted Neapolitan bread. Coupled with available wine or beer, this appetizer might be a perfect date night evening snack before/after mall shopping or going to the movies. From their array of visually appealing ten salads, served in giant sized bowls, we opted to split the vegan Sweet Life Salad featuring baby arugula, seasonal greens, melon, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, shaved and shredded coconut, tossed with a housemade lemon vinaigrette dressing. Our salads were tasty and not bland in any way. We tried their two best-selling salads and the Italian Salad was our favorite as it has seasonal greens, romaine lettuce, salami, grape tomatoes, cucumber, red onions, bell peppers, olives, parmesan, crushed croutons, all tossed with a housemade Italian vinaigrette dressing. Their Caesar Salad could become a protein packed entre by adding the available sides like anchovies, chicken, and even an egg.
Being adventurous, we decided not to bother with ordering their best seller, a Double Pepperoni, from their list of 15 specialty pizzas that are "not too large and not too small." Another best seller, Devil's Pizza, is very spicy but turned out to be our unanticipated favorite as it was stimulatingly tasteful but not overpowering. We tried two of their "new pizzas," the Le Carni (Meats) and the Pizza Tropicale (Hawaiian) and both were great values they both seemed not to be able to overcome the innate taste of the dough in which their toppings lay.
We tried some unique pizzas without tomato sauce since we might not find them elsewhere.
Their Egg-N'-Bacon Pizza features fresh mozzarella, applewood smoked bacon, Italian sausage, rosemary roasted fingerling potatoes, parmesan, basil, oregano, extra virgin olive oil, topped with a freshly cracked free-range egg and the Genoa's Pizza featuring housemade pesto, sautéed baby spinach, roasted bell peppers, parmesan, basil, fresh mozzarella, topped with baby arugula, and grape tomatoes after bake. Both of these pizzas were great to look at and devour but the composition of the Genoa's pizza, while resplendent in red and green, was surprising to those of us at the table who'd forgoted that not all of a pizza's toppings would be warm.
From their list of five Desserts most of us opted for the Affogato (Drowning Gelato) which Italian Vanilla Bean Gelato is drowning in espresso coffee. What a great, refreshing, late summer taste treat that was! In addition to Vanilla Bean and Chocolate Gelato they change their Gelato and Sorbet flavors daily. Gazing about the room, both their new
Signature Nutella© Calzone with Cherries and Ricotta or with just Fresh Fruit seemed to be a popular choice as well.

(BLAKESLEE, PA) – Jack Frost National Golf Club, owned by Blue Ridge Real Estate Company (Blue Ridge) and managed by Billy Casper Golf (BCG), was recently named a "Top 50 U.S. Golf Courses in 2014" by GolfAdvisor, the trusted home of more than 200,000 reviews and recommendations for golfers by golfers.
"Our golfers have spoken and GolfAdvisor agrees: Jack Frost National is one of America's best courses," says Keith DeVos, General Manager of Jack Frost National Golf Club. "Our dedicated team works hard to present immaculate conditions and deliver memorable experiences day in, day out."
Meandering through mountainous terrain encompassed by a thick oak forest and offering majestic vistas, Jack Frost National quickly became a favorite among locals and visitors upon opening in 2007. Named a "Best New Course" by Golfweek, the 18-hole, par-72, 7,256-yard, Terry LaGree design presents wide fairways, easily identifiable target areas, few uneven lies and no blind shots. Its bite for better players comes from several elevation changes, some severe.
In addition, GolfAdvisor ranked Jack Frost National among the "Top 25 Conditioned Golf Courses in the U.S. in 2014." Golfers continue to rave about pristine conditions from tee to green, placing it No. 24 on the list of the highest rated courses in America.
"We are thrilled Jack Frost National Golf Club has earned these distinctions from GolfAdvisor users," stated Bruce Beaty, President of Blue Ridge. "The knowledgeable team at Billy Casper Golf truly understands what it takes to provide customers with a great golf experience."
Two of many rave reviews by GolfAdvisor users:
"My son(s) and I play Jack Frost 1 to 2 times per week. I think it's by far the best course in the area. … Well maintained and always challenging. From the novice to expert ... you'll love your round at Jack Frost."
"I have the opportunity to play a lot of different golf courses and Jack Frost ranks in my top 5. EVERY single hole is amazing. This course's layout and landscaping is one of the best in the Northeast for a newly made course … If you are in the Poconos region, this is a course you have to play!"
A renovated practice area features a two-tee short game area, putting green, chipping green with bunker and expansive, all-grass driving range.

"Take no offense. That which offends you only weakens you. Being offended creates the same destructive energy that offended you in the first place – so transcend your ego and stay in peace." – Dr. Wayne Dyer
Pastor Shannon addresses the issue of the destructive power of being offended in an insightful way.
A few weeks back…I offended someone. (You're probably thinking…only the ONCE?! Haha) I think most of us would agree…rarely do we intentionally try to offend someone…but even so…it still happens.
Here's what occurs: We misconstrue someone's words/actions…which in turns causes us to tell ourselves a story. And unfortunately…since we're now offended and hurt by those words/actions…the story we tell ourselves is almost always a negative one. ("They know what they did! They only care about themselves! They're just a jerk!")
Unfortunately here's what's so sad: We absolutely HATE it when someone quickly judges us…but we soooooo easily will judge others. We want everyone to judge us on our INTENTIONS, but we're so quick to judge others on their ACTIONS.
Now…thankfully in my situation…the person I offended did what we wish everyone would do…they pulled me aside and told me how they felt. And in that moment…I was so devastated for them. Sure…my words/actions weren't meant to offend…but they did.
And the key to resolving any offense is simple: EMPATHY.
Empathy isn't sympathy. Sympathy is when you feel bad FOR someone…empathy is when you feel bad WITH someone. Empathy is when you're willing to put aside your emotions for the sake of feeling what the other person does.
Paul says in Phil 2:3 "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves…" In other words…if we're only willing to consider how WE feel in those moments, we'll never be able to resolve anything. If we put ourselves above others, it's nearly impossible to resolve an offense. (In fact, we might even be able to force ourselves to apologize for that offense, but really we're just apologizing that they 'misunderstood me'…not that they were 'hurt by me.')
An offense is the perfect tool of the enemy. It causes division, devastation, and destruction. A simple offense has the ability to bring down marriages, families, even entire nations! The truth is…WE WILL OFFEND EACH OTHER! But here's the deal: If every person were to simply handle their offense per Matthew 18, if we could just TELL THE OFFENDER when we've been hurt…and then if we could give that person a chance to offer EMPATHY and an APOLOGY…then there's no offense that can't be resolved.
A simple offense can divide and destroy any relationship, but EMPATHY and FORGIVENESS can restore them to better than new. Seriously…life is just too short to carry the heavy burden of an offense.
Pastor Shannon is saying that every Christian has a choice whether or not to be offended. We do NOT need to take the enemy's bait and be consumed or destroyed. Both love and becoming offended is a choice. No one has to become offended by another. God has given His children a weapon to beat the enemy at his strategy.
Please join Pastor Shannon at REAL Community Church in Lee's Summit, Saturdays at 4:00 p.m. and Sundays at 8:30 a.m. We WELCOME you!

VK-1 Viking Synthesizer is an authentic emulation of a classic monophonic analog synthesizer. It has three continuously variable wave oscillators, two ladder filters with a Dual Lowpass or Highpass/Lowpass configuration, a multi-wave LFO, and two modulation busses. VK-1 uses state of the art DSP technology to accurately reproduce the sound of the hardware.
VK-1 comes with 228 presets in the categories Bass, Bright Lead, Electro Bass, FX, Percussive Lead, Soft Lead, and Synthwave. The 50 Electro Bass and 50 Synthwave presets were created by experienced sound designer eXode. The synth excels at thick bass and rich lead sounds.
At the heart of VK-1 are three adjustable wave oscillators. The continuously variable waveform knob gives the oscillators a unique sound that can't be achieved with the fixed waveforms found in most synths. A noise oscillator provides three types of noise.
Two modulation busses and an LFO provide flexible modulation capabilities.
The filter is a classic transistor ladder filter modeled meticulously. Different drive modes are available for adding grit. The number of poles is adjustable for a wider range of filter sounds.

I admit that I always wake up late almost every Sunday (maybe it's the effect of Saturday night!) meanwhile I'm the one who love breakfast more than any other meals of the day.
How can I do, when I need to take a wee bit longer time for sleep and-in the meantime-I love to have a nice meal for mid-day eating on Sunday?
I'm quite sure that any of you might have the same problem like me, want to sleep longer in your comfy bed but don't want to just have dried-whole weed bread with a cup of coffee (like you always have daily before you go to work).
Now I know "where" I can find such a nice meal like that on Sunday!
Last 2 months, I've got an invitation card for The Absolute Vodka Brunch from Indigo Pearl for 2 persons. Sounds nice, isn't it?
And yes, it is.
In my opinion, Indigo Pearl's Sunday Brunch isn't like all-you-can-eat buffet with watered down cocktail, but, a truly fine brunch with free-flow tasty cocktails and a splendid services.
There're various kinds of international cuisine menu. Those include Japanese Sushi, Chinese Peking Roast Duck, New Zealand mussels, French Fine de Claire Oysters, until Phuket rock lobster. And of course, free flow vodka cocktails will do the rest!
The atmosphere is nice, kid friendly, yet adult happy.
If you don't know "where" to go for a good Sunday brunch, I suggest you to go to Indigo Pearl. I'm pretty sure you'll never be disappointed.

Massachusetts Department of Transportation planners investigating the feasibility of a new MassPike exit between Westfield and Lee are looking at the demographics and travel patterns of hilltown residents as a conceptual study moves forward.
Cassandra Gascon, project manager for the study, said the working group for the project will meet again in January or early February. At that meeting, MassDOT will likely reveal the traffic and population data it has gathered so local officials can comment. The goal is to decide exactly where the new exit should go and to build a case to obtain funding for a construction project that as yet doesn't have a price tag.
It's a meeting that had been scheduled to take place in late 2018, said state Rep. William "Smitty" Pignatelli, D-Lenox. But he said he's pleased with the progress and the support the idea of a new exit is gaining in the communities along the highway.
In September, Gascon and her team narrowed the list of possible exit locations to three from seven. The finalists are: the Blandford maintenance yards, the nearby Blandford service plaza and Algerie Road in Otis.
Pignatelli was one of a group of lawmakers, including state Sen. Donald Humason, R-Westfield, state Sen. Adam Hinds, D- Pittsfield, and state Rep. John Velis, D-Westfield, who included the new exit study in the 2018 state budget. Public meetings began last spring and summer.
Thirty miles separate Exit 2 in Lee and Exit 3 in Westfield. That's an abnormally large gap between highway interchanges, making it difficult for residents and businesses in between to access the highway.
Reasons for the gap are unclear. One story goes that Westfield merchants wanted to funnel traffic through the Whip City's downtown.
Building a new exit would take nearly a decade, but it's more feasible now that tolls are collected electronically via overhead gantries and not by staffed booths at exits.
Some in the hilltowns fear the exits will mean unwanted traffic and development. An online petition put forth by a part- time resident opposing the new exit and citing fears of added traffic has 132 signatures since it was posted three months ago.
Pignatelli said in December that he's heard a lot more support for the idea than opposition. Public safety is one reason that comes up. Last week, a A 61-year-old Shrewsbury man was killed when he crashed his car into a tractor trailer truck whose driver was entering traffic lanes of the turnpike from an emergency vehicle turnaround in Blandford.
The trucker is expected to be cited for the illegal U-turn between exits.
There are some gates open at maintenance points along the MassPike. Highway workers are less likely to keep them shut now that tolls are paid at the gantry, but Pignatelli said the gates are not open to the public.

On Saturday night the GBACG went to the Gaskell Ball. It was much more successful than I thought it would be — there were at least 35, maybe 40, of us, and I think I got to say hi to most of them.
Possibly because the guild was promoting that specific ball, and probably through some freak of the space/time continuum, the costuming was MUCH better than it usually is (meaning, there was more of it and less corset/prom skirt!). I had an excellent time dancing, chatting with friends and fellow costumers, and stalking all of the lovely costumes. Some of the best gowns were on Barbara, who wore her grey striped (!!) wedding dress (more info on her website), and by Heidi's recreation of the Madame X dress from the Sargent painting.
I wore my stripedy 1780s robe a l'anglaise, and had fun ratting my hair out. As I was leaving the house I mentioned to my husband, "You know, about half of the people there are going to say, 'What the $!)# did she do to her hair?'" — and I was right. One person said, "It looks like you're going for a servant look or something…" Le sigh!

Happy Kwesi Appiah reacts to Egypt draw
Ghana coach James Kwesi Appiah has expressed satisfaction with the outcome of Sunday's encounter with Egypt, despite his side's inability to beat the Pharaohs in the 2018 World Cup qualifying in Cape Coast.
Norway-based Edwin Gyasi scored on 63 minutes to draw the Black Stars level as the two teams settled for a 1-1 draw in their final match of the series.
Mahmoud Abdel Razek 'Shikabala' struck first on the hour mark to give the North Africans the lead.
"I'm happy with the result especially because we had a challenge of finding the right balance between three or four experienced players and several new faces," Appiah told beIN Sports.
"We were confident that we would get a positive result as the match is played at home, but at the same time, we were aware that the game would not be easy.
"I was confident that we would score the equalizer.
"The fans were a source of some stress but we finally managed to score."
In unarguably their worst World Cup qualifying campaign in as many years, Ghana ended the series on the third spot in Group E, two and six points behind second-placed Uganda and winners Egypt.
The Black Stars, set to miss out on the global showpiece for the first time since 2006, won only one of six group games, disappointingly failing to pick three points at home in all three attempts.

XCAFApp plugin looks for wrong library on MINGW-W64
Good Morning,
I have built the OCC libraries using MINGW-W64 within MSYS2-W64 shell. My application is also built in the same environment.
The application crashed when calling XCAFApp_Application::Open ( const TCollection_ExtendedString & path, Handle< TDocStd_Document > & aDoc ).
The document was of type: "XmlXCAF"
An Errror message said that TKXmlXCAF.dll could not be found. Indeed this library is named "libTKXmlXCAF.dll" (with lib prefix) on a MINGW platform.
The problem was solved making a copy of "libTKXmlXCAF.dll" named "TKXmlXCAF.dll" and my application is not crashing anymore.
But I think that it would be better to fix the plugin so that it looks for "libTKXmlXCAF.dll" when the OCC library is built with the MINGW compiler.
Walter Steffè

Music School, King's College School Wimbledon by Hopkins Architects has been named best school project at the 2019 AJ Architecture Awards
This project for a music school was universally praised by the judges not only for the quality of its 'very beautiful' interior spaces but also the way it sits contextually in its site.
As well as providing a series of smaller teaching and practice spaces, the building incorporates at its heart a 200-seat concert hall and double-height rehearsal room, each with expressed timber diagrid roofs. The judges commented on the 'very generous volumes' of these spaces, enjoying how the project 'had clearly been thought of in 3D, not just on plan'.
There was an 'impressive thoroughness' evident in its design, which also followed through into its construction. 'The principal moves and strategy work very well, extending through to the thought in the materials and detailing,' they said. One judge noted the roof's textural richness and how the external patterning of the tiles reflected the internal glulam structure.
While the building clearly had a generous budget, one judge observed that 'the quality really shows', – with the building representing 'a very wise investment' for the school. As another judge summed up: 'This is a highly resolved and very sophisticated scheme.'

Celebrating Mother's Day in many ways
Bouquets & Barbs
From Mary Lou Rabenberg, Kingsford:
This upcoming day is quite an honor for all mothers and grandmothers.
We all appreciate the hugs and kisses shared with us.
There is something special about the way they say grandma, grannie, gram, nanna — or mom, momma, mother and mommie.
Becoming a great-grandma is rewarding as well. I was blessed with three daughters and then a son. And now, six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Guests at the Desi Di restaurant who order the Tamil Roast Kadaknath Chicken certainly wait in anticipation for the dish after hearing a brief introduction about the black chicken meat … writes Venkatachari Jagannathan
Imagine chicken meat that is black in colour and is cooked and served in Chettinad cuisine style.
Well, guests at the Desi Di restaurant who order the Tamil Roast Kadaknath Chicken certainly wait in anticipation for the dish after hearing a brief introduction about the black chicken meat.
"Kadaknath Chicken is an Indian breed mainly found in Madhya Pradesh. The bird is completely black — not only its plumage but also its meat, legs. Said to be rich in protein and low in cholesterol, the flavour-full black chicken meat is said to have several medicinal properties," Chef Aaron Coutinho told IANS.
It takes a lot of guts for a young chef to try out something that is entirely off-beat at a new restaurant and Coutinho seems to be game for such an activity with his special chicken preparation in Chettinad style.
By this time, Desi Di's special red hibiscus iced tea in a tall beaker arrived at the table and it was soon followed by the "hero" of the Christmas menu that's available till January 7 — Tamil Roast Kadaknath Chicken.
The pepper chicken dish was served with two small buns along with a small cup with the pepper gravy.
"We wanted to keep out all other flavours so that the guest enjoys the flavour of the black chicken meat. Nobody in our team had tasted this meat and we were sure of success," Coutinho said.
While the meat is really flavourful, the surprise element is its toughness, but after the second bite one gets used to it.
"The chicken's breast portion is similar to other country chicken but the leg meat has a strong chicken flavour," Coutinho added.
The bun also went well with the gravy but it will be better to have rice mixed with the gravy and the chicken meat to bite into.
"We do market visits. Two months back we had been to a suburban market where we found the Kadaknath chicken. We tried various cooking styles with one chicken and finally arrived at this," Coutinho said pointing to the dish on the plate.
"A pair cost us around Rs 2,800 and we had to be careful," he added.
According to him, the meat is marinated for 4-6 hours.
"It is a well-prepared dish. The flavour was excellent and the masala was also perfect," Yogita Uchil, a guest at the restaurant, told IANS.
"After hearing Coutinho briefing about the chicken, we were mentally tuned and ready to see black meat chicken on our table," added her husband Harsha Raj, an IT consultant.
Desi Di's Christmas special menu also includes Goan Turkey cafreal with Tossed Potatoes and Gongura Fish/Prawn Moilee with Appam.
Uchil, a foodie, pointed out that the Mizoram Super Spicy Beef and Bamboo Shoot curry with Sticky Rice were awesome.
For the sweet tooth, there's Bebinca with orange sauce or slice of plum cake.
What: Black chicken meat as part of Christmas menu
Where: Desi Di restaurant at Integral Club, Pilkington Road, Ayanavaram, Chennai
When: December 22-January 7
Cost for two: Rs.1,200 plus taxes

Busting Through A Wall
I always get the question "I'm totally struggling right now, what is the best way to recover?"
We get into a natural rhythm and when things start to falter we lose our confidence. You don't feel your creating value or bringing new ideas to the table. So what if the routine and gameplan you usually follow just are not working any more!
Should you tweak, start over or keep pushing forward?
5 Steps to get your mojo back!
1. Complete 2-3 easy tasks.
This will get you a few small wins so you can remember what Winning (Sheen) feels like! You will have some confidence back!
2. Unplug
If you are feeling burnt out, take a rest from everything. Have a relaxing weekend and since you won before taking a break you don't have to only thing about your recent struggles.
3. Review
What was working prior that has recently stopped being your go to move? The stressed out feeling can be a warning sign that your headed in the wrong direction so don't ignore it. Listen and find out why you feel at a standstill.
Often times we are VERY hard on ourselves, if you continue working hard and can break through plateaus it will pay off in the end. Often it takes longer than we would like, but we are all capable of doing great things.
The internet is a great place to view successful stories, however many people don't win on their 1st idea. You often feel like everyone is doing amazing things and you can't keep up or don't have the proper direction. Keep pushing it!
4. Set a new course
Set new goals and work in some new methods for success. You should feel refreshed and ready to attack new work!
5. Have fun
Remember everything you have built up, all the talent you have and how hard you have worked. Human emotions do come in waves, we often don't realize the peaks but can be crushed by the valleys. Remember why you love your passion and all the hard work you have expended. Get out there and have some fun!

Lavish Financial Aid Packages
Posted by David Dudley Field '25 under Financial Aid, International Admissions at 8:39 am
Consider this comment from last February's discussion of financial aid policy and international admissions.
I graduated from Williams in '97. I know for a fact that the college admitted Internationals and gave them lavish financial aid packages when in many circumstances they did not deserve the generosity. I knew one student in particular whose father owned a clothing factory in India and could have easily paid for his tuition in full at Williams but was able to hide his familial assets when he applied to the school. It's a shame that American students are in effect subsidizing these (shady) international students.
1) I have heard similar stories, but I do not think these cases are common. Am I naive? I think that the vast majority of international students who get a full ride at Williams (and that is the vast majority of international students) come from poor families.
2) These things happen with/to/for US students as well. How can the College know the actual wealth tied up in a small family business? How can Williams know how much the non-custodial parent (or grand-parents) are willing to contribute? Short answer: We can't.
3) Even with perfect knowledge of current family income/wealth, financial aid can never be "fair". Some families put thousands of dollars away each year for college. Other families, with the exact same income, don't save anything and use that money for vacations. Is it fair for Williams to charge these two families the same amount?
I would like to see Williams make some fairly major changes. First, we should treat international and US students the same: need-aware for everyone. Second, we should use other schools more actively as part of the process. (Perhaps we already do this?) If Jose gets a great offer from Yale, and we really want Jose, then we should match Yale's offer. If Jose does not get an offer from Yale, then I have no problem asking him to take out $10,000 in loans. Third, we should consider offering four year cost guarantees. That is, we should tell students when they are accepted that Williams will cost them X. It is unfair to set tuition anew each year.
Finally, and most controversially, Williams should consider raising its sticker price significantly. Why not charge wealthy families $100,000 per year? We are selling a luxury good. Let's price it accordingly.

The structure of the school
Harrow Shanghai is an Early Years to Year 13 co-educational, day and boarding school with the following sections:
Early Years: Pre-Nursery, Nursery and Reception
Pre-Prep: Years 1 to 4
Prep School: Years 5 to 8
Senior School: Years 9 to 11
Sixth Form: Years 12 and 13
All sections of the school essentially follow the English National Curriculum. We also make best use of the flexibility our situation in Shanghai affords us to serve effectively the international nature of our pupil body and staff, while also respecting our host culture and traditions here in China.
While Early Years and Pre-Prep have a key focus on primary education, our Prep section aims to smooth the transition to senior schooling in a less abrupt manner than having a such distinct primary/secondary divide common to so many schools. We do this by combining some of the thematic approaches to learning, more often associated with primary education, with a greater emphasis on subject knowledge. Senior School pupils prepare for external international examinations at IGCSE level in Years 10 and 11, studying as many as ten or eleven subjects, several of which they have the option of selecting. The Sixth Form provides our pupils with access to courses of higher education anywhere in the world, by giving them the skills and knowledge for success at A level in up to five subjects.
Facilities have been thoughtfully designed to support outstanding curriculum delivery, whether, to name just a few, it is in the impressive, purpose-built Early Years Centre, the many, spacious, age-appropriate classrooms, the variety of fully-equipped specialist learning spaces or the dedicated examinations and Sixth Form centres.

It's been funny watching Democrats like Sen. Bill Nelson and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz hold news conferences outside child-migrant shelters in Miami-Dade to denounce President Donald Trump's policy of separating families that illegally cross the border.
The Democratic Party loves to put on a dog-and-pony show that it's the righteous party in America. But don't be surprised when nothing is done to solve the nation's immigration mess.
Republican and Democratic politicians feel exactly the same way about people from Central and South America coming to the States. The Democrats don't want Latin American immigrants here either, but they pretend to care because they believe it will help them win the Latino vote in midterm elections.
Nelson and Wasserman Schultz are using the images of children being torn away from their mothers and fathers as a way to attack Trump and make themselves look like humanitarians. It's all bullshit.
Long before Trump was hollering about closing the border along Mexico, Florida was the epicenter of a border war that favored one class of immigrants over another. When he was campaigning against President George W. Bush in 1991, Bill Clinton promised he would end the forced repatriations of thousands of Haitians fleeing a coup against President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
As soon as he took office, Clinton changed his mind and continued the Bush policy of sending Haitians back. Clinton also sent tens of thousands of Haitians to live in a migrant camp at Guantánamo Bay, where roughly 30,000 Cuban refugees were being detained when he temporarily ended the U.S. policy of granting amnesty to those fleeing Fidel Castro.
Under pressure from powerful Cuban-American exile leaders, Clinton cut a deal with the Cuban government in 1995 that gave birth to the "wet foot, dry foot" policy. The move allowed 21,000 Cuban refugees at Guantánamo to be admitted into the United States. And for more than two decades, this country then allowed an average of 20,000 Cuban refugees per year to enter if they reached U.S. soil. That policy came to an end in 2016 when Barack Obama canceled it in one of his last acts as president.

Meanwhile, Clinton could not give a shit about the Haitians at Guantánamo. In 1993, U.S. Judge Sterling Johnson Jr. ordered the release of 158 Haitian refugees with HIV and ordered the camp closed. Johnson wrote that Clinton's policy of detaining refugees at Guantánamo was "outrageous, callous, and reprehensible." Yet a year later, Clinton was again sending Haitian refugees there.
I witnessed the awful conditions firsthand. I chartered a Boeing 727 and delivered humanitarian goods to the refugees. The Haitians were living in tents just like the ones now being used to house Mexicans, Central Americans, and South Americans in Texas. The Democratic Party stood silent alongside Republicans.
They did nothing to help Haitian refugees remain in the States while scores of Cubans got in through the front door. It's along the same lines as Trump calling Haiti a "shithole" country. The only difference is that Democrats don't have the guts to say so publicly.

Following a breaking-ground ceremony in September last year, work at Liverpool FC's new training complex in Kirkby continues at pace.
Steelwork for the new first-team and U23s building is currently being erected. There are just over 2,000 pieces of steel to erect, which will take around 12 weeks to complete.
Landscaping around the site is also underway, which will provide shelter from the prevailing winds. Over 500 new trees have already been planted out of a total of 750 to be installed as part of the project. Watch a video of the progress here.
The development at the Academy site, designed by KSS, will see the first-team and youth football operations come together at a combined training facility for the first time in Liverpool FC's history.
The new 9,200m2 training complex will provide an elite performance centre for the first team and first-class facilities for the club's development squads, including new pitches, two gyms, a full-size sports hall, pool, hydrotherapy complex and specialist sports rehabilitation suites.
The foundations for the new swimming pool have been completed, with around 400 cubic meters of reinforced concrete cast in these to date. There will also be dedicated TV studios, press conference facilities and office accommodation on site.
The redevelopment was confirmed by the Reds in July 2018 with plans to provide excellent amenities for players and staff, and a clear pathway for the club's young players through to the first team, whilst significantly improving sports facilities for the community of Kirkby.
McLaughlin and Harvey, the club's construction partner, began building work in summer 2018 and the development is expected to be complete in summer 2020.

60" will get it BARELY. After having shrank one, I'd have rather had 72" to have some excess to pull on.
Well I just took 1 attempt at it this morning and got it to lay down perfectly. I don't know what my issue was yesterday. Basically did it like a corvette and then lift and pull the corners where it goes over the sides.
I didnt have that luxury when I did it the first time. I've got a couple ideas I'm gonna try this morning and see if I can get it to cooperate. It definitely wasn't cut too long last time, there was still a light gap in the matrix on the sides, which is probably why it lifted honestly.
I did one in Pinnacle and it took me 2 attempts to shrink it. But it stared lifting and fingering in the dot matrix in the sides after a couple days. I'm attempting to freehand it this time since PrecisionCut's pattern blows, and can't for the life of me get it to lay down in all 4 corners. I can get damn close, but can't get it. I'm giving up for the day though. I've been doing an H but have to curve it on the sides towards the top to even get it close.
Are you doing a normal H pattern to shrink it or are you tacking along the bottom edge all the way around?
2017 911 TargaGot one comin in on friday. The rear glass looks reminiscent of the older camaros, corvettes, etc. but doesn't tear drop of dovetail at the bottom. Anybody done one yet? I'm not expecting anything crazy.
Just close the latch in the door
Tint a Model X windshield in 1 piece and then we'll talk. Until then, unless you have some constructive criticism, can it. Side note, I finally got his windshield to cooperate. Reverse rolled it from the windshield instead of the peel board, flattened it out with my hands (to the point that it was drying out) after it was placed, hard pressure, clear crush, short strokes from the middle out. Not really much different than my normal routine. I'll do the same thing on the next one and see what happens.
I might be able to set up my phone to record on this next attempt on this civic. Gotta get this civic hatch done first.
Yet again, crease on install. Changed to a clear crush blade, added more slip (hot, humid day) and still having an issue.
These are hard nasty creases. I just did a Panamera windshield after switching to a clear crush, and it went on fine. I'm about to do a civic windshield in a little bit, and I'll see how that one goes. I'm not calling 1 successful install a solved issue. I just don't understand why AIR 80 is the only film i have this issue with. I've done far more curved windows using stuff ranging from Scorpion to pinnacle, and don't have an issue with using the blue max.
AIR 80 Creasing
Quick92RS posted a topic in General DiscussionSoooooo does anybody else have issues with AIR 80 creasing super easy on install? Going slow and all the pressure I can put with my blue max, and it still creases on me pretty regularly. I've got plenty of slip on the windshield, and this is the only film i have this issue with. Is it just super thin?
2016 Accord Coupe NavigationI was actually thinking about calling another dealer out of the area to see if they've had any complaints. I left a voicemail with the customer, but we're closing right now. So we'll see what he has to say when he calls back in. It may just be something to watch out for on these.
2016 Accord Coupe NavigationWe tinted a 2016 Accord Coupe around a month ago, and he says hes now having issues with his factory navigation not being able to locate a signal. We tinted the windshield with Llumar Air 80, Honda of course told him that it was the film on the windshield. He said it just started having problems within the last week though. Anybody else had any issues with these after doing a windshield?
Oh even more fun

I don't know if this in the right topic, but I have a huge, obsessive love for edm music. Specifically hardstyle, but also electro/house/progressive house/sometimes dubstep/complextro etc. Now I'm not focused alot on anything else than hardstyle, but simply love it all, so, what are good plugins to download or buy to make electro/complextro-ish tracks, with alot of sounds which flow together very well, and what do I need to know? I'm not a guy that dreams about getting popular or something, but I want to let out my emotions in my music. I never produced before, except opening fl studio and making basic melody's, but i REALLY want to try.
I'm a fan of tracks with high production quality, that sound 'difficult' to make. Complex etc. Like Bas Oskam/TVDS, you know what I mean. Technic tracks.
What do I need to know about notes/rhythm/which plugins I need to get if I want to make Electro/Progressive house/complextro?
THANKS alot.

Traveling with friends can be a wonderful experience or it can be a nightmare. There are 5 crucial questions to ask before traveling with friends that can help alleviate stress that may come up. You may be surprised by the answers but it's best to discuss any issues BEFORE the trip.
Traveling with Friends: 5 Crucial Questions To Ask Before You Go!
- Are you a morning person or night owl?
- Do you plan on being together all the time or is alone time necessary?
- Can we bring company back to the room?
- What type of traveler are you?
- If you're renting an apartment, who gets the bigger room?
Ask these question before traveling with friends and your vacation will be more pleasant!
1. Are you a morning person or night owl?
This is extremely important. Before I travel with anyone I always make sure to let them know I am not a morning person and they should refrain from talking to me until I've had my morning coffee (I even like to have my own mug with me when traveling). This way, they won't be offended when I have the glare of death when I wake up because they realize that is just pre-caffeinated Roni.
It is imperative to let people know your preference so everyone can act accordingly and not get on anyone's nerves.
2. Do you plan on being together all the time or is alone time necessary?
There are some travellers that do not want to do anything without their friends and that is ok. However, what is not ok is expecting someone to be with you every second of every day if they aren't the type of traveler that requires that level of companionship. Ask this question before you travel so expectations can be met on all sides.
3. Can we bring company back to the room?
There are some travelers that love to have some fun of the sexual nature while travelling. As grown-ups that is a decision, everyone must make for themselves. However, if you are sharing a room or apartment rental with someone it is imperative you talk about what the expectations are regarding houseguests. Will they be allowed? Is everyone comfortable if there are strangers in their space?
4. What type of traveler are you?
What does this mean? Well, are you into fine dining and your friends just want to get something quick and keep sightseeing? Do you expect your friends to sit with you and have leisurely meals? Will you be upset if they don't want to? What if they want to and you don't, are you going to be mad? Are you a budget traveler? Are they? What do you value when you travel? What do they?
If you don't talk about these nor know the answers to these questions, this can cause stress in friendships on vacations. Be sure to discuss what everyone expects so there won't be any surprises.
5. If you're renting an apartment, who gets the bigger room?
I know someone who lost a friendship over a room. One of the girls decided she was going to take the big room and put her stuff in it before the others got there. This person hadn't put the trip together and was a friend of a friend who was added last minute.
It should be obvious who gets the big room (the person who found the place and did all of the reservations should get the big room, no?) but if not, talk about it.
Traveling with friends can be a rewarding way to travel. With these 5 questions under your belt, you'll know what to expect and how your trip will go.

This year the Downhill Derelicts are teaming up with the Whistler Adaptive Sports Program, a non-profit group that supports sport for life by breaking down the financial, physical and social barriers for individuals with disabilities.
We're asking you to sponsor your Downhill Derelict of choice (or pick more than one) and pledge just 1-cent ($.01) per 100-vertical feet they ski in the Downhill Derelympic Vertical Challenge, a five-day ski-a-thon to ski as many vertical feet as they can. The Downhill Derelicts are going to earn every penny we raise with sweat, grit, and we're sure a few sore legs and feet by weeks' end.
We have a goal this year of raising $7,500 as a group which can sponsor up to seven athletes for an entire year or purchase a mono-sit-ski to make accessible the mountains and wonder that stokes our minds and humbles our souls. We are hopeful that with your help and generosity, we can exceed this goal and share the wonder and beauty of alpine sports with those who would otherwise never experience it. The average vertical feet skied by participants last year was 100,000. At 1-cent per 100-vertical feet, that equals a total donation of just $10.00.
Pick your favorite Derelict and make a pledge today!

Pasadena, Calif. • Millions of Americans have fond memories of watching Fred Rogers on "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood." David Newell's memories are more personal.
For more than 30 years, Newell appeared on "Neighborhood" as Mr. McFeely, who arrived shouting, "Speedy delivery!"
He misses his old boss and friend.
"He cared so much about what children saw on television," Newell said. "He sometimes would be in tears after a certain segment that he was taping. … It was the real thing, and his passion was there.
"I don't have a degree in child development, but I feel I do, working with Fred."
Feb. 19 marked the 50th anniversary of the first telecast of "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood," and PBS is celebrating with the documentary "Mister Rogers: It's You I Like" on Tuesday, March 6, at 7 p.m. in Utah on KUED-Channel 7.
It's part of a bigger celebration that kicked off with the Sundance Film Festival premiere of another documentary ("Won't You Be My Neighbor?") and continues on the PBS Kids channel with remastered episodes of "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" that are paired with the episodes of "Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood" they inspired. And, speaking of Daniel Tiger, his live stage show will visit Salt Lake City's Eccles Theater on March 8.
Plus, TriStar Pictures has announced that Tom Hanks will star as Rogers in a movie about the friendship between the children's TV host and a reporter.
Newell said Rogers "hoped" his work would outlive him. And it has — his company produces children's educational series "Peg + Cat," "Odd Squad" and "Through the Woods," in addition to "Daniel Tiger." More than 900 episodes of "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" are available for streaming on Amazon.
"I remember him saying he liked to create a library of programming that can be run over and over and over again," Newell said. "The 'Neighborhood' may be somewhat dated visually, but the messages are never dated. They're evergreen."
PBS' "It's You I Like" combines clips from the show, a biography of Rogers and fond memories from familiar names like Judd Apatow, Joyce DiDonato, Whoopi Goldberg, Chris Kratt, John Lithgow, Yo-Yo Ma and his son Nicholas Ma, Itzhak Perlman, Sarah Silverman, Esperanza Spalding and Caroll Spinney.
Michael Keaton, who worked as a stagehand and made appearances on the series in the 1970s, is the host.
"I do hope everyone will watch this special and you'll recognize how courageous he was in the early years of public television," said JoAnn Young, producer/writer of "It's You I Like."
"Mister Rogers" was the gentlest of TV shows, but that took courage in a medium where loud and abrasive generally gets noticed. The show addressed subjects like death, divorce, bullying, families and more, always in a supportive way.
Rogers hadn't planned to become a children's TV pioneer, said Newell — who was hired to do public relations for Rogers and was selected to appear on the show.
"He went into television because he didn't like it," Newell said. "What he saw back in the '50s was a lot of people throwing pies at each other's faces, and he said, 'We can do better.'"
And he did better in the most low-key way. He modeled love and learning and acceptance and kindness to his young viewers.
"I think it took a lot of courage to decide to put on a children's television show that was so unlike anything on television," said Nicholas Ma, adding that he was inspired by "the courage that [Rogers] instilled in children, whether they were in a wheelchair or, in my case, terrified of performing with their dad."
The younger Ma played the piano, accompanied by his world-famous cellist father, on "Mister Rogers" when he was just 6. And again when he was 16. And those were the only two times he performed publicly with his father. He agreed to it "because Fred asked" and "there was no way I would possibly say no. But, gosh, I practiced harder to play that piece of music than I think I practiced to do anything in my life."
Ma grew up to be a filmmaker; he was a producer of the documentary "Won't You Be My Neighbor?", which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January, and he's featured in "It's You I Like."
"Clearly, I don't think you can have too much Fred," he said with a smile.
Newell agreed and was quick to point out that everything Rogers did was for his young viewers. He recalled an incident in the late 1970s when Rogers was in India to help develop a children's shows. A cue was missed, and Rogers insisted on redoing the scene.
"Somebody said, 'Oh, it's just a kids' show,'" Newell said. "And Fred said, 'That's my point. It's a children's show, and we have to do the best we can for children.'"
Newell said Rogers strongly believed in the importance of listening to children.
"He said, 'Listen … to what they're saying. Get off your computer. If they come in the room and are saying something, listen,'" Newell said. "And I think Fred was a wonderful listener."
Rogers was serious about what he was doing, but not about himself. He had a sense of humor, even when the jokes were on him. Like the time he was singing the closing song on "Neighborhood" and trying to put on his sneakers — but the crew had replaced them with a pair a couple of sizes too small.
"The crew couldn't help it. They start laughing," Newell said. "They stopped, of course, and Fred just broke up laughing."
He said Rogers would be "delighted" that journalists would be asking questions about him and his shows, and talking about the "It's You I Like" special.
"He would be so proud," Newell said. "He wouldn't want to be up here talking. He would want to be over there sitting, watching us talk about him. But he would be very proud.
"And it meant so much to me. I loved every day of working with Fred Rogers. It was a treat."
Mister Rogers and Daniel Tiger
As part of PBS' celebration of the 50th anniversary of "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood," the PBS Kids channel will pair five episodes of "Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood" with the "Mister Rogers" episodes that inspired them — episodes that share themes like dealing with loss, families, friends and coping with angry feelings.

In this write-up, we will learn to create a React application using React CDN, without installing any npm package.
Here, we are trying to create a React application without installing any npm package like create-react-app. or react-dom. We will only use the React CDN in an HTML file.
This way of application development gives us a basic understanding of the main building blocks required to develop a React application.
First, create one sample HTML file named index.html.
To copy the CDN, first, open here.
You can copy the script CDN part and paste in one sample HTML file.
Create one more app.jsx file. In this file, we need to add the React sample code. Also, we need to use babel to transpile the .jsx code into JavaScript. For that, let's add one more CDN script.
Let's put all this script part into the header of the HTML file. The header of the sample index.html file should look like below.
Now, we need to add the below code which is very important for integration of the React code into an HTML page.
After adding this part, the index.html looks like this.
Now, let us try to understand what we are going to add in app.jsx.
ReactDOM is rendering the React component in the place of

. This application makes it very simple to understand the concept of React.js.

Vishwanath Pratap Singh
विश्वनाथ प्रताप सिंह
माजी पंतप्रधान विश्वनाथ प्रताप सिंह यांचे दिल्ली येथील अपोलो रुग्णालयात दीर्घ आजाराने निधन झाले. ते सत्त्याहत्तर वर्षांचे होते. भारताच्या दहाव्या पंतप्रधानपदाची धुरा त्यांनी सांभाळली होती.
विश्वनाथ प्रताप सिंह हे एक उत्तम कवी आणि चित्रकार होते. त्यांनी अलाहाबाद आणि पुणे विद्यापीठातून बीए, एलएलबी आणि बीएससी असे पदवीशिक्षण घेतले होते. 1984 ते 1987 त्यांनी भारताच्या अर्थमंत्रीपदाची जबाबदारी सांभाळली होती. जन मोर्चाचे संस्थापक असलेल्या सिंह यांच्या कारकिर्दीत मंडल आयोगाच्या अंमलबजावणीवरून वादंग झाला होता.
VP Singh, 77, former Indian PM and social engineer, dies.
The 77-year-old leader, who had been battling blood cancer for more than 17 years, and renal failure, died in Delhi's Apollo Hospital.
Former prime minister V.P. Singh, who dethroned Rajiv Gandhi to form, in 1989, India's second non-Congress coalition government and later tried social engineering through reservations that changed the country's political course irreversibly, died in the Capital on Thursday.
The 77-year-old leader, who had been battling blood cancer for more than 17 years, and renal failure, died in the city's Apollo Hospital where he was admitted nearly six months ago.
Obituary: A file photo of former prime minister V.P. Singh. PTI
Singh shot to fame in the mid-1980s, when he was finance minister in the Congress government headed by Gandhi. He took on industrialists, including Reliance Industries Ltd's Dhirubhai Ambani. Some he offended by launching tax investigations. With others, he achieved the objective by refusing to cater to their demands for low import duties on some products and high on others. Still, Singh was the proverbial new broom—and an equal opportunity offender.
When Gandhi couldn't deliver on the promise on which he had come to power—a clean government—Singh cashed in on the opportunity. He began to project himself as "Mr Clean". Raids against companies intensified, complaints were made in the right quarters, and Singh was shifted to the defence ministry. But he wasn't finished yet. He began to investigate the murky world of arms deals. As stories of kickbacks from the now-famous Bofors deals began to spread, and damage the reputation of Gandhi, Singh was sacked.
By then, however, Singh had discovered a way out: coalitions. He resigned from the Lok Sabha and spent the next few years building the Janata Dal—a coalition of non-BJP, non-Congress parties. In 1989, he fought the general election on this platform. He forged an alliance with the Communist parties and struck an understanding with the Bharatiya Janata Party. And he became the 10th prime minister of India. He held the post for less than a year but triggered the trend of coalition politics which continues till today.
Singh's major achievement was the implementation of the Mandal Commission's recommendations that ensured reservation to students from backward communities in education and public sector jobs. Taking a leaf straight out of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam's experiments in Tamil Nadu, he implemented a reservation policy that divided north India vertically. A Delhi University student Rajiv Goswami was so enraged by Singh's decision that he set himself on fire in front of a huge supportive crowd. And India went up in flames.
Some analysts say Singh's efforts to implement the findings of the Mandal Commission were an attempt to check the rise of Devi Lal, a rustic Jat leader from Haryana who, too, nursed the ambition of becoming prime minister of India.
Singh also continued to be blamed for bowing to terrorists who had kidnapped Rubaiya Sayeed, the daughter of his home minister Mufti Mohammed Sayeed. The release was a turning point in the history of terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.
Singh, an erudite man with a fondness for poetry and painting, wasn't the same force after he quit as prime minister. His frail health didn't help his cause, but history will remember him as the man who managed to polarize India, although his efforts—aimed at creating a level playing field for people belonging to the backward classes—might have been well-intentioned.
Singh is survived by his wife Sita Singh and two sons, Ajeya and Abhay.

"I love teaching because I am still learning new things myself, and a lot of what I learn is because of my students. They can ask some very penetrating questions that force me to examine my own long held techniques and ways of doing things. I meet people from other disciplines and they have ideas and make suggestions about materials, tools and techniques that I may have never thought of. Teaching can be a very collaborative experience. I value and look forward to it."

"Diano" is less exciting—a simple, loopy, drum heavy affair that's probably better described as a DJ tool—but as a digital-only release is perfectly functional. B-side track "Follow the Leader" is the EP's real highlight though. One-note basslines tend to divide opinion, but when they're delivered this well they can be irresistible, purposefully barraging onwards while a yearning female vocal does its very best to make you dangerously weak at the knees.

Some today seem to have a misconception of what true repentance is and what it includes. Paul spoke of two types in 2 Corinthians 7:10. He spoke of worldly repentance and godly repentance. The difference between the two is simple. Worldly repentance is the idea that one is sorry that he/she got caught, but given the chance will continue doing the same action. Godly repentance is being sorry that what was done "hurt God" and choosing to no longer doing it.
When a person repents that person has determined in his/her mind to quit doing the things that hurt God. This does not mean that a person will not make mistakes, but it does mean that a person will not continue to make the same mistake over and over. When a person truly wants to stop doing something it can be done. In Hebrews 10:26, the writer states "For if we sin willfully… there no longer remains a sacrifice for sin," notice the statement "willfully." This means that a person knows right from wrong, but chooses to do wrong. If such is the case there is no longer a sacrifice for sin as spoken of in 1 John 1:5-10.
True repentance is a change of heart that results in a change of action. Which means that a person has determined to stop the sinful action and correct it with the right action. If a person repents and continues to do what he/she has always done, then there has been no fruits worthy of repentance (Matthew 3:8).
