They also have incredible bandwidth for gathering reams of data. It's not only "big" data, but "fast" data. In the 1990s, capturing data on consumer or employee behaviour meant conducting surveys, interviews, focus groups and data aggregation. Human beings plugged data into machines that spat out charts and tables for them to analyse.
Now that we have a wealth of real-time, and highly granular, information from the many digital products in our lives, the key is extracting meaning from all of these data. This means some new roles, and some added complications for old ones.
Executives and managers at the forefront of digitisation who we recently interviewed stressed that the focus today is less on "data" and "storage" than on "analysis" and "ideas". But as these managers explained, this has multiple implications for the way data are mined, the skills and roles organisations need and who takes the lead.
Quants, digital natives and suits
Our interviewees expressed demand for three different types of people: "quants", "digital natives" and "suits". The quants are those with math, deep programming and analytical skills. One advertising manager described this as a shift from "Mad Men" to "Math Men". In many ways, this is the cornerstone of the digital skillsets that companies need. People with programming and deep analytical skills will be in high demand for the foreseeable future.
Digital natives are those well versed with our digital world and digital lifestyles. While digital natives are typically young, they can be found across age groups. They are people passionate to learn how things digital are increasingly becoming integrated with all facets of life. They are active users of many platforms from messaging to video streaming, and preferably know a thing or two about coding.
One respondent told us that "you need to have so-called digital natives who have grown up with this and who also constantly follow it and have the open mindset to hopefully anticipate and foresee changes in the future."
Finally, organisations on the digital journey still need "the suits", people who understand business plans, marketing, financial structures and operational processes. Suits can monetise opportunities by connecting technological value to customer needs.
But when quants, digital natives and suits work together, things can often get lost in translation.

Dr. Jan Gurley
Dr. Jan Gurley, a board-certified internist physician, is the only Harvard Medical School graduate to have been awarded a Shoney's Ten-Step Pin for documented excellence in waitressing. Having achieved this pinnacle of greatness early in life, Doc Gurley inevitably spiraled downward. Jaded, and afraid of becoming known as a waitressing has-been, she tried years of basic science research in labs (graduating magna cum laude from Harvard), then did a residency at UCSF in Internal Medicine, then received a Robert Wood Johnson Fellowship in epidemiology, public health and public policy. Her health/science background covers the vast territory from sub-cell systems, to human studies, to the captivating science of seeing patients one-on-one.

Trimama had to bring the hammer down last night on Soapinator and Hyphen Girl. Not the simple little taps of instruction and course correction, but the full on tearing of the universe hammer down. Discipline is without a doubt the most troubling aspect of parenting. I don't like being disciplined by life, I know my girls don't like being disciplined, so I would love to soften the hammer. But then they would never learn. They wouldn't grow and develop into the young ladies I expect them to become. This present culture is already presenting seemingly insurmountable obstacles to this end, so the fight goes on. Suffice to say, it was a quiet ride home last night, and lots of tears. No computer, no television, no phone. 24 hours. And anger, mom's anger. And broken relationship. Then the talks and forgiveness in the morning-and yes the grounding is still in place after school- I didn't forget.
The days are lengthening, and the buds are debuting, storing up all their latent energy, ready for that initial burst of spring, and the bikes are being tuned up, and the teams have reported for spring training, and tourney time is in the air, and trihubby is working another night, so some fresh air time at the park was in order, and mud facials and dirty boots and cold hands, and pigbutt potato soup for dinner, and conversation. And the hole in the universe was repaired.
I completed another round of registrations for races this morning. Gulp. There is a part of me training for an ironman by way of two half iron races and that part seems so incredibly detached from the part that registered for one almost olympic distance race in July. Gulp. How can I possibly be gulping at a 1/2 mile swim, 21 mile ride and 5.2 run. Because my experienced side is gulping. The ironman side is so distinctly different, so inexperienced, that they don't dance very well with each other. I doubt they ever will. There is such a colossal difference between training to compete and training to race well and finish. And I had to write my race day age, and I still find that shocking, I always will because the part of me that trains still feels 21. And I registered my 12 and almost 10 year old for their first triathlons and so as SLJ accurately reported, we can now be called the Tri Tribe. and I am Trimama. Except at Beginner Triathlete.com where that username has already been claimed. Sometimes the world is simply too small.
60 minute tempo run tomorrow followed by weights and core.

Executive Chef Jordan Sauter is all smiles these days, thanks to the Essex Inn's newest addition to its culinary arsenal – the pasta extruder. Designed by Arcobaleno LLC, a family owned business based in Pennsylvania, this impressive machine is opening the door to a lot of new possibilities for the restaurant. "I love making pasta," says Sauter. "And what's really special is that everybody loves eating it."
The new extruder "elevates our farm-to-table menu with fresh pasta options du jour," says Tom Lambert, the Inn's general manager. Ask Chef Sauter what makes his pasta so special and he'll tell you, "It's easy…it's made with love."
Aside from love, his pasta dough recipe is refreshingly simple. Made from semolina flour and water, it leaves plenty of room for unlimited creativity. The Italian-made brass dies (accessories that give the pasta its shape) allow for everything from Asian noodles to traditional Italian favorites like spaghetti Bolognese and fettuccine alfredo.
A few of the new dishes gracing the Inn' menu recently are black pepper fettuccine with lobster, sage spaghetti with spicy lamb ragu, and Sauter's ever-popular macaroni and cheese, now made with in-house pasta.
Be sure to check the Inn's website and social media frequently, as Chef Sauter keeps things fresh by creating weekly menus based upon availability and seasonality of local farms.
In addition to its popular burger and beer deal, the Essex Inn will now be offering a $20 pasta and wine special every Sunday night. A perfect way to test out their newest fare! Buon Appetito!

Spokane Flour Mill
621 W. Mallon Ave
Spokane, WA
"The Spokane River has its own character and charm even during low water (such as here) contrasted with the raging torrent of these Upper Falls during spring runoff. The Flour Mill was built in 1998 to utilize the falls with primitive water wheels as a course of power to mill wheat into flour. It operated until 1973 when it underwent complete renovation, using natural finishes of existing materials to create a unique complex of shops, restaurants and offices. This landmark is a link with the past, and once again a vital part of the downtown area."

Do you read those articles that say "88 ways to save $5000"? You know the ones they promise great tips to help you save more. I read them, I've probably read them all. I like trying to come up with new and different ways we can save money. The more money we can save, the more money we have left to apply to our debt. Some of the Debt Gurus focus a lot on making more money and making more money is good but you'll pay more taxes on it. Saved money isn't income and it isn't taxed.
I read every money-saving article I can find online & in magazines and I rarely learn anything new that helps us save money. I guess I'm just that good already! One of the tips that people always mention is "Budget Billing" or "Level Billing" with your utility company. I thought that one made sense because we'd be going along great and then we would have a ridiculously high power bill that would blow our budget out of the water for the month.
We made the switch to budget billing and started paying one amount for the whole year. We were able to budget and the bill was never a shock. They always showed how much the bill was vs. how much we paid. They listed our growing credit with them and then that growing credit really started to bug me. They were "holding" our money for us until the bill was high enough to use it and that was money that we could be applying to our debt every month while we wait for the high power bills to come in.
I sat down and studied a years worth of billing statements online with our power company and realized that our usage and costs were pretty consistent (within $15) a month for 9 months out of the year. We have 3 month a year with much higher cost than all the others ($75-$100 higher). The 3 higher months are January, February & August. I decided that we would cancel budget billing and plan for the higher bills of January, February & August.
At the same time I decided to make other changes that I hoped would lower the power bill even more. I started leaving lights and tvs off during the day, line drying clothes, turning the thermostat up a couple of degrees and running our ceiling fans more. At the end of our first month off budget billing they applied the credit from our account so that bill was a lot less than normal but I forgot to check for the difference in usage and cost from the previous year. This month our bill was less than last month (and we had no credits to apply). I checked the costs and usage for this month against the previous year and we had spent $35 less than we did last year (and there has been a rate increase in the last year). We had saved $78 off our Budget Billing amount. Our power bill was less than $90 and I can't remember having a bill for less than $90 a month since we were newlyweds and we were both working full-time and out of the house for 10-11 hours a day.
We'll have an additional $78 to send to a credit card company this month and coming up with a new way to find a little extra money is a victory here.

Mike Wolfe is an American scavenger and antique collector that came into the spotlight by carefully parlaying his picking craft into a lucrative business venture. Armed with a wealth of experience and exposure garnered from picking antiques as a young chap, he launched an American reality television series known as American Pickers which premiered on 18th January 2010, on History channel.
The American Pickers' creator has a story to tell for every piece picked, neatly documenting and airing the story of such important pieces. He is also an author of a number of great books on the same subject. Read on to get acquainted with his bio, wife, family, net worth, and other surrounding facts about the picker cum television star.
Mike Wolfe's Bio (Age)
The accomplished entrepreneur was born on the 11th day of June 1964 as Michael Wolfe in Joliet, Illinois, the United States of America. The American was single-handedly raised by his mum after his parents' divorce was finalized just when he and his siblings were still tender. In a bid to lessen the financial burden circumstances left on his mother, Mike Wolfe began to fend for himself by picking stuff from the trash around his neighbourhood.
Although his educational background is yet to be revealed, (including the elementary, high school and college attended) he is a well-bred and knowledgeable individual. In his early years of picking, he learned how to fix up damaged and abandoned items/pieces, which he, in turn, sold off to antique stores for some money. Some of such items included electrical gadgets, bicycles, motorcycles among others. At age six, the young scavenger picked a neighbor's damaged and abandoned bicycle out from trash which he fixed up until it became usable.
He eventually grew the habit into a viable craft and he soon acquired a cargo van that helped him travel across the many states in America to pick items from far back as the 80s and 90s. His big break came when he put his wealth of experience into creating an American reality TV show American Pickers, which was produced by A&E Television Networks and in collaboration with Cineflix Media; the program airs on the History channel.
The series has been widely well-received since its inception and was once ranked as the second most popular TV show after American Idol. The show recorded over 3.1 million viewers during the first season in 2010. It has now aired for over 20 seasons and does not seem to be ending anytime soon. Mike Wolfe, who created the series also starred in it alongside his good friend, Frank Fritz.
Inspired by the success of the series, he whetted his skill as an author by penning down his wealth of experience in books like Kid Pickers, Art of the Pick, Debt Advice Handbook, and Debt Advice.
Mike Wolfe's Net Worth
Mike Wolfe has done very well financially via his scavenging, television and production businesses. His net worth is estimated to be between $5 million to $7 million. He rakes in over $500,000 from each season of American Pickers series. Moreover, Mike Wolfe has dived into other ventures such as sole proprietary stores and sales of merchandises like branded hats, shirts, mugs, and more, he also mints from endorsement deals.
Family – Parents, Siblings, and Wife
Mike Wolfe is the son of Rita Wolfe and an unknown father. He has two siblings namely; Robbie and Beth. Robbie his elder brother was a rock star musician who also joined Mike in his business.
With respect to Mike Wolfe's love life, he met his wife, Jodi Faeth in 1994 when he was still building his career. They dated for a long period of time before tying the knot in Leiper's Fork, in Tennessee on 8th of September 2012. The happy couple had their honeymoon in Hawaii. Despite being the celebrated wife and support system of a very successful and prominent man, Jodi Faeth has maintained a very low profile away from the media.
Jodi Faeth's actual date of birth is unknown, but records have it that she was born in the year 1972, in the United States of America.
Other Facts About Mike Wolfe
Mike Has A Daughter
The antique hunter is not just a married man but a father of one. He welcomed a daughter named Charlie Faeth Wolfe born on January 30, 2012. She was born a couple of months before her parents walked down the aisle.

So yesterday I had a pleasant surprise waiting for me when I finally got home, an insanely huge box on the kitchen counter. Not expecting anything til next week I almost ignored it til curiosity overcame me and upon looking at the shipping label realized it was addressed to me. Given the size of the box and the fact that it said Motorola on it I instantly became filled with excitement. "It's my phone and 360!" Sadly, that was not the case, it was only the Moto 360. As if that's sad news. Ha!
This review is not going to focus much on the operation of the device itself, as I've previously touched upon just last week and also just shy of three months ago.
Instead I'm going to focus on the design of the Moto 360, the feel of it overall and the features inherently unique to the device that it does not share with any of its Android Wear siblings.
First off, the box the watch came in looks great. It's not a drab, tiny square thing. If I had to say so, I'd compare it almost to a work of art. Motorola knows all about presentation and looks and they certainly didn't overlook the packaging in which to put the watch.
It's round and significantly larger than the boxes of both the LG G Watch and Samsung Galaxy Gear Live.
As for the watch itself, wow. That's really all I feel like I have been saying since yesterday afternoon to my friends. Wow.
First off, previously leaked pictures and video and all of those things do not do it justice. This is something you have to see and feel in person to just truly appreciate the craftsmanship that went into putting it together and getting it onto your wrist.
I have never in my life been a watch person. I'm definitely a person who is always on time and gets antsy when I'm running late, but never a watch person. This watch has pretty much changed that, I am definitely a watch person now.
As I mentioned, leaks leading up to the release of the device had a number of people, myself included, thinking this thing was going to be huge on our wrist. That is not the case. I don't have big wrists and it looks great strapped onto me, despite being round and somewhat bigger width wise than my LG G Watch it actually looks smaller on my wrist than my G Watch. (Naturally my mom now wants one. "That looks freaking sweet! How much was it? Also, you now have a spare watch. Can I have it?" Those were her exact words in that order when she saw me with it earlier. She's enjoying her G Watch now and tripping out with it in a good way. "You get text messages on it! That's so cool!" Lol. I love my mom! I swear, sometimes she talks and acts like she's younger than I am.)
As I was saying though, it looks great on my wrist. The feel though, that's what I noticed immediately yesterday afternoon and am enjoying today. The leather band. Magnificent! Where as with my G Watch which made me feel like a dog trying to shake off a collar due to its whatever material it's made out of, this watch is anything but bringing that same feeling out. It feels amazing on my wrist. That is entirely cause of the leather and something all other OEMs need to take serious note of and dare I say even rip off completely. Use leather bands/straps on your watches! It feels great and looks even better!
The strap feels so great that I honestly put this on when I actually felt I needed to get out of bed and do some stuff around the house and go run some errands here in a bit. This is unlike with the G Watch, which I'd only put on before heading out the door for work and take off the minute I hopped in to my car after punching out. I can easily see myself wearing this all the time minus when I'm sleeping.
There's also a button on the side of the device to wake the display manually, rather than requiring you to activate it with your voice or by tapping on the screen itself.
UPDATE! One thing I didn't mention in the original posting of this which I noticed after a day or so of use is the display. It looks great and sharper than that of my G Watch. I've never been one who cares too much about pixel counts and all that, but there's something about this display that just looks better to my (optically aided through the use of glasses) eyes. I'd love to say it's just the screen, I honestly think though it's the general package that makes this noticeable. Combing the round display, the screen itself and the wristband that is having me notice little things like this. It could be that the display is no better than that found on other Android Wear devices.
Also worth noting is that the display itself isn't completely inside the body of the watch. It sits just a bit outside it and curves slightly inward. That's not necessarily important or something I'd normally mention, but I feel I have to because inevitably you'll have people complaining and saying "the display is distorted!" It is slightly, but only on the outer edge and in no way interferes with the use of the device and it's something that is really just nitpicking and looking for a reason to be upset. Honestly, if they made the watch as perfect as people wanted it to be it would be bigger and uglier and cost more and then people would bitch about that. (It's basically common knowledge that people genuinely go out of their way to be upset about things and bitch extremely vocally about them after the fact. You really can't please most people.)
Also, I threw a teeny tiny little screen protector on the display. I am big on screen protectors, the one I have on my Moto X (which is thicker than the average screen protector) has saved my screen's life more times than I'd like to think about. As such, I will not use a device for more than a day or two without one. You can see the one on my watch in the pic below, also yay! Probably the first time I've ever put one on perfectly on the first go.
Speaking of presentation and looks though, the charger is incredibly simple and almost subtle in appearance. It's when you throw the watch on it where the magic happens.
First off, it uses QI charging. So there' no plugging anything in to the watch itself for you to do. Secondly, when you throw the watch on the display changes and it basically becomes a regular clock found on any nightstand. Also, it might be my overly dark room but man is it bright. I definitely need to find a new place to put it at night where it's not staring at my face. Even without my glasses I can still easily spot it in the dark.
Battery life I can't comment on personally just yet, but I've gone from 100% to 86% in an hour. Keep in mind that I've got Ambient Screen on (which means you can always see the watch face) and Adjust Brightness set to auto. The latter of which is beyond perfect! In my room it is lit enough to easily see but not enough to blind me (since my room is normally beyond dark) and when I step out into the rest of the house and outside it changes quickly to adapt to the light around me so I can easily see it as well. That's a feature you wouldn't think you need or want til you see it in action. Trust me, you want it. Also, that rather significant hit to battery life is likely from me just playing with the device. I keep changing the watch faces, sending text messages (to test just how good it is at transcribing what I say correctly) and all those other little things that you do when you get a new device. Basically, I'm just playing with it like you wouldn't believe.
It's my understanding though that with the update that was released last week that battery life has gotten significantly better than what was previously (and in my opinion not remotely accurately) reported. If you really think you don't have to charge any device overnight you're deluded, it's good form in general and there's very few reasons and occasions where you would be unable to do so.
I likely won't update the post to reflect my battery life, mostly since my usage tends to always be on the heavy side with all my devices. I'm a power/heavy user, what I see in "bad" battery life you all likely won't see. Regardless, reports are you can easily get through a traditional work day and then some (with Ambient Screen on and Adjust Brightness set to auto). Translation? You will easily get 13 hours of battery life out of your device under the "worst" of settings and conditions. Turn off Ambient Screen and you should get through a 24 hour day easily enough. Again though, you are gonna have to charge the device overnight (like I did with my G Watch anyway). I mean, wtf. Are people using their watches in their sleep that they think they shouldn't have to charge them almost ever? I have only one reply to that.
As for customization, Motorola really shines here. Thanks to their Connect app, when paired with your device you're able to make minor changes to the handful of watch faces included with the watch. Mostly by changing the color of little things to really make it your own. I feel that's just another tip of the hat from Motorola to people buying their products in the same style of the Moto Maker part of their website, make this device unique and your own.
Here's one where you can see the accent changed from the default to green.
Being that I plan on using this in conjunction with my current (and hopefully soon to be received new) Moto X, I'll update the post to reflect what things pop up between the use of the two Motorola devices. It's my understanding that since they all use some amazing and nifty voice operated features there are some things that were updated under the hood so to speak on numerous apps exclusive to Motorola phones that make the use of the two a bit better and keep them from messing with one another. (Likely related to the "OK Google" hot words.)
UPDATE: So I kind of forgot to include a few things the other day, I wrote this running on no sleep originally and, in my defense, I was still relatively intoxicated from the long night before. Yes, I know. Bad bangishotyou! Bad! [swats self on nose with newspaper] I'm a 29 year old man who enjoys tying one on so to speak and basically not sleeping after or because of, I also suffer from insomnia so it's not like I'd sleep much anyway. Might as well enjoy myself on the weekends since I'm gonna be up anyway.
Anyway, this watch has a heart rate monitor/capability and within a day of actual use noticed it. It was something I was aware of already but just sort of slipped my mind. That's not quite a customization feature, but it's something this device has that no one else has on the market at the moment. (I know, I know. Samsung's offering has that too, but in usual Samsung fashion it's gimmicky more than usable and most reviews note that it is rarely if ever accurate. As such, there's no point saying anyone else has this, this one actually works fine on the Moto 360.)
You can check your heart rate at any given moment with the watch. Additionally, it gives you alerts and notifications mentioning your "heart rate activity" for the day. This is something I really like and think most people would find useful. As lazy as I am apparently I'm pretty freaking active. I guess the "holy shit, fuck you and your metabolism" thing I got going on just isn't a faster than normal metabolism after all and the reason why I'm as skinny as I am. I walk faster than most people, but being taller than everyone around me and having a longer gait that's kind of expected. Regardless, my normal walk is still fast enough to register as good towards being actively healthy and all that. Huzzah!
Also, I noticed something else when I went into the Fit app (which is a "stock" Android Wear" app. On a device that can measure your heart rate you'll see the option to do so in said app. (This was previously not something I saw on my G Watch.)
Beyond that, there's not much to add that I haven't covered in my previous Android Wear related posts.
This watch though is leaps and bounds better than the competition and definitely worth the $249.99 asking price. It is both fashionable and feels better when worn. If you have even been considering getting an Android Wear device and you have to have one now, get this one. You won't regret. Also, Motorola still has them in stock on their site. Black and stone leather, with the black having a black body around the display and stone leather having a silver body around the display.
On that note, I leave you all with a little diddly about a woman who "won't be true no no".
I meanwhile am gonna go find some trouble to get into this fine Saturday and enjoy playing with my watch throughout the day.

Kawhi Leonard mocks his own laugh, brings down the house at Raptors victory rally
Toronto Raptors superstar Kawhi Leonard brought down the house at Nathan Phillips Square Monday afternoon when he thanked Raptors fans for welcoming him – before mocking his own iconic laugh.
The parade kicked off just after 10 a.m. but has moved slowly through the route. The team, riding atop double-decker buses, could be seen smoking cigars and drinking champagne while waving to masses of thrilled fans. Raptors superstars Kawhi Leonard and Kyle Lowry took turns raising the trophy in the air. The parade crawled from Exhibition Place, down Lake Shore Boulevard and past Scotiabank Arena.

HUDDERSFIELD Town hope completing a 'mini pre-season' will give Sean Scannell a major pick-me-up before Saturday's return to his former club Crystal Palace.
Manager Simon Grayson and his staff feel the tricky winger, signed from Selhurst Park in the close-season, has yet to reach peak fitness – and as a result, peak form.
He's being put through an intensive 10-day programme, so was left out of the squad for Saturday's 2-0 Championship defeat at Hull.
"There's no doubt we have a potential match-winner in Sean," said coach Glynn Snodin, who along with Grayson, yesterday learned of a three-match ban for former Palace striker Alan Lee after he was retrospectively charged with violent conduct by the Football Association after his clash with Hull defender Alex Bruce.
"But we want Sean to be a potent player and a danger to opponents for 90 minutes, not 60 or 70.
"He's had a few injury problems, so has been in and out of the team, and this special schedule is a way of getting him to full sharpness.
"Sean is working hard, because he's desperate to play his part, and he's understandably desperate to be involved against Palace."
Born and bred in nearby Croydon, the 22-year-old came through the youth system at the South London club and made 141 appearances for them (73 starts), scoring 12 goals.
He won Republic of Ireland B and Under 21 honours there.
He has made 13 Town appearances, seven of them starts, scoring his only goal so far to clinch the 1-0 home win over Bristol City in November.
Snodin confirmed that on-loan Reading striker Simon Church is back in full training after being left out of the trip to Hull because of illness.
Both Town and Lee accepted the FA charge, and the suspension which keeps him out at Palace and at home to Blackpool on Boxing Day and Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday week.
Lee, who also faces a club punishment, caught Bruce, with whom he played at Town and Ipswich, with an elbow at the final whistle.
The Hull centre-back retaliated by pushing Lee and was shown a straight red card by referee Howard Webb, who confirmed to the FA that he didn't see the Town man's offence.
The FA acted after reviewing footage of the KC Stadium clash.
Ex-Republic of Ireland player Lee, 34, said: "I raised my arm to protect myself and get past Alex as we came towards each other.
"He moved across me in an attempt to block my run.
"There was no intent on my part, but I caught Alex and then he reacted as a result.
"I am a wholehearted, genuine player and I give my all every second I'm on the pitch.
"There was some really harsh, personal criticism in the aftermath of the game, but I fully understand that I have to accept the FA's perception of events.
"I would like to apologise to my teammates that I won't be available for the next three games and I will look to put things right in the future."
Town chief executive Nigel Clibbens said: "Simon Grayson didn't see the incident, but he said in his post-match press conference that if Alan had done something wrong he would be punished and this has subsequently happened.
"To lose Alan at this time, with three big fixtures coming up, is disappointing and avoidable.
"The incident at the end of the game was wholly unnecessary, as the game was over."

This blog is for our yoga body geeks out there! I talk about extension and flexion and how you can visibly see the two movements on the mat! Your neck, arms, hips, knees and feet can extend or flex. Learn about the two so you can balance them out! #yoga #yogaforbeginners #yogateacher
What in the world is "yoga butt"? Why do some people say that a girl with a big round booty has a "yoga butt"? You can't get a strong and round butt from doing yoga, though! The real definition of "yoga butt" is really bad. It happens when you sit a lot or just do yoga poses without strength-training on them! Read the blog for the truth and helpful exercises you can do to save your tush!! #yoga #yogaforbeginners #yogateacher
Online Yoga 101: Internal Rotation vs External Rotation (Shoulders and Hips)
What the heck does it mean when a yoga teacher says to "externally rotate your shoulders" in poses like downward-facing dog? Read this helpful blog with photographs demonstrating what it could look like for you. You can get to know your anatomy a little better as you practice these ranges of motion with your shoulders and hips! #yoga #yogaforbeginners #yogateacher
Online Yoga 101: A Warm Up Sequence for your Ankles (and Hips, Actually)!
Ankle mobility can be such a great add-on to any yoga sequence! When you strengthen your ankle control, you also help out your hip control. The hips, knees, ankles and feet work together as an entire team. You can do this at the beginning of your home practice, in the middle or even as a cool-down at the end. (Though I do recommend you warm-up with these movements at the beginning). #yoga #yogaforbeginners #yogateacher

Online Yoga 101: Mobility vs Flexibility! HOW DOES THAT AFFECT YOUR YOGA?
Flexibility is a really common goal when it comes to practicing yoga asana! But, it's not as helpful as practicing mobility when you're trying to keep a healthy body! Learn about the difference between flexibility and mobility and why you can benefit from doing both equally! Read the blog to get body geeky with me about how you can tap into your true essential strength on the mat. #yoga #yogaforbeginners #yogateacher

Stadium Shutout
Local governments are no longer as willing to take on the risky business of building a ballpark.
Years ago, a colleague of mine became an economic development director for a large city. One of the first assignments the mayor gave him was to complete a study to assess whether building a large public stadium would provide fiscal benefits to the city. When the study found it wouldn't, he was ordered to re-study it. When that produced similar results, he was directed to bury the studies. The mayor made it clear that the stadium was important to the city's reputation -- if not its bottom line.
I was reminded of this as I watched Prince William County in Virginia struggle this summer to reach a deal to keep a minor league baseball team, the Potomac Nationals. It is the kind of struggle that dozens of large cities, counties and smaller municipalities face: The owner of a professional sports team needs a new facility and wants the city or county to pay for it. Sound familiar? What's new is that localities are resisting what used to be irresistible. The razzle-dazzle of hosting a professional sports team is dimming. The financial risk of fronting money for a stadium and dedicating available land to it has its limits.
In Prince William, minor league teams have been playing ball at the county's Pfitzner Stadium since 1984. The current team's owner wanted the county to replace the three-decade-old stadium with a bigger, more modern facility. The county's Board of Supervisors weighed whether to borrow $35 million to build a 6,000-seat stadium, plus pay for $11 million in updated infrastructure. The team would repay the bond out of proceeds from higher attendance at the new ball field.
This past spring the board spent $200,000 on a fiscal economic analysis of a new ballpark. The study found that the proposed stadium would generate 288 jobs, $175 million in economic impact and $4.9 million in county tax revenues over a 30-year lease. Under the terms of the deal, the county would borrow money to build the ballpark. It would own the stadium and lease it to the team, which would repay the industrial development bond the county issued. But the study suggested that it would be "challenging for the team to generate the projected revenues in a ballpark built to their proposed budget."
Issuing a bond raises several critical issues. One is whether to put the bond deal to voters. While the board does not legally have to do so with an industrial development bond, most jurisdictions do it anyway since, should the team default on its payments, taxpayers would be responsible for the debt.
The board decided against a referendum. Instead, the supervisors planned to vote on the deal at a mid-July board meeting. But the team owner pulled out before the supervisors could vote, saying the proposal was "suicidal business-wise and would create tremendous risk" for his team. Which suggests, of course, that the owner wanted the county to take the risk.
Will other nearby jurisdictions step up to the plate? Beyond the risk of floating a bond, the fiscal challenge for local leaders in Northern Virginia is to balance land availability and the highest, best use of it. The suburbs that are located closer to Washington, D.C., don't have as much open space or available land assessed at lower values as Prince William County does.
Baseball stadiums are often undertaken to rejuvenate decaying urban areas, but in Northern Virginia, the closer-in jurisdictions do not have an area where a stadium would act as an effective economic stimulus. Given the challenges in the closer jurisdictions in finding available land to build schools, provide recreational space (parks and trails), and maintain space for the less sexy government requirements like parking buses and the staging of construction material to support capital projects, the efforts to build a stadium would likely lead to a shutout.

blogs, California, crime, deviants, garridos, kidnapping, mental health, mental illness, news, pedophiles, pedophilia, religion
This CNN report will fill you in on who this predator is. His name is Phillip Gerrido, and with the help of his wife, Nancy, he kidnapped an eleven-year-old girl in 1991. For the next eighteen years Garrido and his wife kept the girl in a primitive compound in their back yard, where she was subjected to repeated rape and bore two children, now ages eleven and fifteen.
I ordinarily wouldn't give this kind of person a mention because they shouldn't get any public attention other than a trial, but in this case there is a rare opportunity to peer into the distorted mind of this individual, and hopefully glean some slight understanding of just how such a mind works.
Unless it has already been taken down, Phillip Garrido maintained a blog on BlogSpot, called Voices Revealed. Here we learn that Garrido heard voices, and interpreted them as the work of God, who had charged him with the salvation of humanity. Some excerpts:
During the month of July 2009 JM's Enterprises, 1215 Willow Pass Road * Pittsburg CA,(925) 439-8118 was the host to a powerful demonstration, the Creator has given me the ability to speak in the tongue of angels in order to provide a wake-up call that will in time include the salvation of the entire world.
U.C.L.A. conducted a three year study from (2003 to 2006) their conclusion at the end of the 3 year study was that the number of cases where people heard voices increased by fifty percent.
The following reports will provide needed insight. This type of activity is increasing worldwide.
Voices have come about due to the powerful design of the human mind and is intended for a purpose beyond our present understanding. Be assured it is to provide and protect our future development.
Please understand a powerful persuasion has been controlling our freedoms to comprehend these issues and is the soul reason it was impossible to believe in. Understand The Creator is demonstrating His patients in matters we do not fully understand. It is about the entire human race as God desires' that every human being understand His intentions are to protect life and not destroy it.
Garrido then goes on to present "affadavits" purported to be signed by witnesses to his power to "control sound" with his mind. All of these witnesses appear to be business owners whom Garrido apparently harassed through a private investigator. He seems to have a mania for providing "legal proof" that he is God's agent on Earth, and not just your garden variety religious nutball. His desire to justify and rationalize his obvious mental illness seems to be a desperate attempt to legitimize his bizarre behavior, expressed through a camouflage screen of religious fervor and grace extended to him personally from God. One can only assume his crimes against children were a part of this "grace", as Garrido's need for power over others overwhelmed him, yet his actions revealed that he was essentially powerless to control even himself.
There used to be a quite extensive mental health system in California, with secured facilities all over the State where individuals such as Garrido were housed, and thus kept from harming the public. In the 1980s this system was dismantled, and thousands of mentally ill individuals were turned-out into the streets, sparking the crisis of homelessness that has engulfed California ever since. This wasn't the only contributing factor to homelessness and criminal activity on the part of the mentally ill, but it was a major factor. Sick people like Garridos should be identified, incarcerated, treated, and in the case of incorrigibles and incurables, locked away for life. Some will say this isn't humane. Niether is allowing predators to destroy the lives of others, as Garridos has destroyed the lives of his victims.

The great painter Claude Monet suffered with cataracts and this significantly affected the sharpness and colour of many of his paintings. Last year I had operations for cataracts in both eyes because the consultants said that I was only borderline capable of driving. What surprised me was that I didn't realise this was affecting my vision so much, and that it had also affected my ability to see bright colours. What a blessing it was to be healed and see clearly!
Our eyes are windows through which we see (perceive) the world around us. If an ordinary window is dirty our ability to see the world through it is affected. The cloudier the window the less of the true world outside we are able to really see and understand. In these verses Jesus is warning us that if our eyes are not spiritually healthy then our innermost being (soul and spirit) is in darkness.
So what affects our ability to truly see? What gives us spiritual cataracts? Pride destroys good judgement and blinds us to our own failings. Jealousy can make us distrustful and suspicious of others. Much of what passes through the eyes (or our understanding) is not light. In Las Vegas there are huge and brilliant lights everywhere advertising a multitude of things, people, and events, to such an extent that you can't see the stars on even the clearest night.
Let's be careful what we see – what we allow our eyes to focus on and dwell on. It may look good, attractive, and alluring, but if it isn't godly, what we see will darken our soul and affect our ability to see the truth. Jesus performed many amazing miracles publicly, yet the religious leaders didn't really see them. Their spiritual sight was darkened and was bad. In Luke 11:34 the word 'bad' is actually 'evil' in the Greek.
I need to ask myself each day "what are you seeing?". How is it going to affect my spiritual vision? Is it causing my soul to be enlightened or darkened? Am I seeing clearly, as God intended, or have I got spiritual cataracts and am not even aware of them. The good news is that Jesus can cleanse us, when we repent and turn to Him. He can drive the darkness from our spiritual sight, and bring clarity and brightness to us again.
Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, please show me how my spiritual sight has been affected by allowing my eyes to focus on the wrong things – what I watch, what I read, what I see and what I focus on. I repent of any pride and jealousy which has distorted my view of You, and the truth of what's going on around me. Heal me and fill my innermost being with Your light. Amen.
"Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light, but when it is bad, your body is full of darkness. Therefore be careful lest the light in you be darkness. If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly bright, as when a lamp with its rays gives you light."
Luke 11: 33-36, ESV

A subgroup of BWG is its Long Form Critique Group designed for writers of longer, book-length works. Membership is by invitation only.
The Long Form Critique Group meets once each month on the fourth Tuesday. At the beginning of each month, up to two writers submit fifty to one hundred pages of a work in progress to all members of the group. During the month, members read, edit, and critique the work, using the Long Form Critique worksheet as a guide. Then, on the fourth Tuesday of the month, the group meets to discuss each author's work in detail.
Meetings are intense, with the goal of helping each author refine his or her work to a publishable level.
If an author, whose work has been fully critiqued by the group, has revised it to what they believe to be a penultimate draft, the group may dedicate one month solely to a review of the entire manuscript.
Membership in the Long Form Critique Group
Attendance at and/or membership in the Long Form Critique Group is by invitation only. Unlike BWG, membership in the Long Form Critique Group is limited to only serious, committed writers who are working toward producing publishable book-length manuscripts. Potential members must be ready to share and critique book-length works of fiction or non-fiction of any genre, must commit time and effort to the group outside of meetings. Members of the Long Form Critique Group are required to attend meetings regularly. They will arrive at the meeting prepared to give the author(s) a comprehensive critique. Then the group will discuss each work and answer questions from the author(s) about the critiques.
To be considered for membership in the Long Form Critique Group, you must first be a member of BWG. For more information on BWG membership, please use the "Join BWG" tab above.
If you are a published or unpublished author ready to make a professional commitment to your writing, and seeking to join a community of supportive writers, click here.

Using Native Libraries in iOS
NativeScript for iOS lets you include native libraries and consume their APIs from JavaScript.
For iOS, three types of library packages are available:
- Shared framework (
MyFramework.framework): An ordinary shared library wrapped in a framework. Typically, contains the required
- Static framework (
MyFramework.framework): An ordinary static library wrapped in a framework. Typically, doesn't contain the required
module.modulemapfile and you need to add it manually.
- Static library (
libMyLib.a): Contains a headers folder (usually called
include) with
You can use any of the following approaches to add and use a native library in your project:
- (Recommended) Create a plugin containing a CocoaPod
- Create a plugin containing the already built binary and headers.
- (Not recommended) Don't create a plugin and manually change the Xcode project located in
To consume a native library the iOS Runtime has to know about the following resources:
- Binary file (e.g
- Header files and
module.modulemapfile describing a clang module and specifying which headers are part of the module.
The only reason the runtime needs header files is to generate metadata. The metadata generator knows which headers have to be parsed because of the supplied
module.modulemap file. Both the headers and
module.modulemap file must reside in a folder which is part of the header search paths of the Xcode project (
{your-app}/platforms/ios/{your-app}.xcodeproj). You can find a sample
module.modulemap file here. You can find more information about CLANG modules, module maps and their synthax here: https://clang.llvm.org/docs/Modules.html
Shared Frameworks
Shared frameworks are the best option because only they have a well-known structure and a
module.modulemap file which eliminates the need for manual work. NativeScript plugins support shared frameworks and you can add them with CocoaPods.
With CocoaPods, you can remove the framework (with all the binary and header files in it) from your plugin repository and keep only a single
Podfile. You also get all the benefits of using a package manager.
If there is no CocoaPod for the current library you can still use a plugin, but the framework must be dropped in the plugin folder (
{your-plugin}/platforms/ios/{MyFramework}.framework) and you lose all the benefits of using a package manager.
- Can be included by NativeScript plugin.
- Can be included in the plugin by a
Podfile(if a
podfor the library exists).
- There is no need to manually edit the library before adding it.
There is no need to manually edit the app after adding the library.
Shared frameworks can be used only in iOS 8 and above. This limitation is valid for pure native applications, too. If you are targeting iOS versions lower than 8.0 you must use static frameworks.
Static Frameworks
Most of the static frameworks don't contain
module.modulemap file, so you have to add the file manually. To include a static framework in a plugin grab a prebuilt version of the framework, add a
module.modulemap file in it and drop it in your
{plugin-path}/platforms/ios/ folder.
In case you cannot modify the native framework (for example when it comes from a Pod) and must define its
module.modulemapsomewhere else in your plugin, take a look at the following sample for guidance: https://github.com/NativeScript/plugin-ios-modulemap-sample
- Can be included by NativeScript plugin.
- There is no need to manually edit the app after adding the library (but you have to manually edit the framework in order to add
- Manual changes of the framework are required (add
- Only Objective-C APIs are exposed (no C functions and C constants) from static frameworks. To work around this limitation, you can manually edit the Xcode project file. However, this workaround is not recommended.
Static Libraries
The NativeScript CLI supports static libraries coming from plugins but the binary and headers must be ordered in a specific folder structure described in details here. This is required because the NativeScript CLI generates a
module.modulemap file for the library which works most of the time. However, in some cases you might need to wrap the library in a static framework with a
module.modulemap file.
If you cannot wrap your static library in a static framework with a
module.modulemap, in cases such as when using Cocoapods, take a look at the following sample for guidance: https://github.com/NativeScript/plugin-ios-modulemap-sample
- Can be included by NativeScript plugin.
- It works without manual changes but not in all cases.
It is trivial to wrap a static library in a static framework. Just put all the headers and binary files in the proper folder structure, add a
module.modulemapand you have a static framework which works in all cases.
- Can't be included by a
- In some cases, you must add a
module.modulemapfile manually.
- You must wrap the library in a static framework if the automatic
module.modulemapfile generation does not succeed.
- Only Objective-C APIs are exposed (no C functions and C constants) from static libraries. To work around this limitation, you can manually edit the Xcode project file. However, this workaround is not recommended.
NativeScript plugins also support merging of
.plist files. If a library requires changes in
Info.plist, the plugin can handle that without you touching the
/platforms/ios/ folder. However, there are libraries which require more complex manipulations of the Xcode project file, which can't be achieved with plugins. In these cases, the only solution is to do it manually. Keep in mind that after updating the iOS platform, your manual changes might be lost.
APIs written in Swift
CocoaPod libraries written in Swift can be called from NativeScript only if they are exposed to Objective-C. This means that the following conditions have to be met:
- The methods and types must have
openaccess. For more information on Access Control read this article
- Classes need to inherit from
NSObjector some other Objective-C class in order to be exposed. Refs Swift Migration Guide
- Starting from Swift 4.0, types and methods have to be explicitly marked with
@objcMembersattributes. You can read more about them here.
NOTE: To be able to override a Swift method in its JavaScript inheritor it MUST use the message dispatch calling mechanism. This is enforced by marking the method with the
NOTE: You can avoid adding
@objcattribute for every member you'd like to expose by setting
On. This has the drawback that it will cause deprecation warnings during build and deprecation logs at runtime. Sample
.... post_install do |installer| installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target| target.build_configurations.each do |config| config.build_settings['SWIFT_SWIFT3_OBJC_INFERENCE'] = 'On' end end end
As a rule of thumb, avoid manual changes to the Xcode project file in the
/platforms/ios folder. Always try to use CocoaPods with NativeScript plugins and shared frameworks. The second best option is a prebuilt static framework with manually added
module.modulemap file, wrapped in a NativeScript plugin. Use the other options only as a last resort after making sure there is no better solution.
Metadata in human readable format
Starting with version 1.4 of NativeScript for iOS, you are able to generate debug metadata and TypeScript declarations for third-party libraries. This way you are able to see exactly what APIs are exposed to JavaScript.
Executing the following command from the root of your NativeScript app produces a
metadata folder with a
.yaml file for each Clang module:
$ TNS_DEBUG_METADATA_PATH="$(pwd)/metadata" tns build ios [--for-device] [--release]
Generating TypeScript typings
Executing the following command from the root of your NativeScript app produces a
typings folder with a
.d.ts file for each Clang module:
$ TNS_TYPESCRIPT_DECLARATIONS_PATH="$(pwd)/typings" tns build ios [--for-device] [--release]
If you have downloaded the documentation set for iOS, the command above will also include brief description in the form of a comment above every symbol in the generated
typings (currently not supported for Xcode 8+). Most IDEs which support typescript IntelliSense will make use of these comments. Furthermore, you can generate structured documentation from these comments with tools like TypeDoc.
Metadata generator's parsing errors and warnings
stderr output of the metadata generator (including all errors and warnings emitted by the Objective-C parser) is redirected
to a separate log file. It is located in
under the main project dir.
The reason behind this decision is that sometimes projects or plugins may have dependencies which are not designed to be fed to an Objective-C compiler. When attempting to generate the metadata for such projects, the metadata generator's error output would pollute Xcode's build output with lines which would look like compilation errors/warnings and would confuse both users and IDE parsers that the compiler emitted them. One example for such library is the LevelDB CocoaPod which is meant to be used in C++ context only. It is included in all projects using the NativeScript Firebase plugin because it's a dependency of the FirebaseDatabase CocoaPod. Generating metadata from this CocoaPod is expected to fail as the iOS Runtime doesn't parse and expose C++ entities to JS. So it's preferable to keep all these errors away from the actual application build output.
IMPORTANT: In cases where the metadata for some native entities is missing, this log file can turn out to be invaluable in tracking down the reasons. It should be the first place to start looking for clues about what might have gone wrong.
Sometimes the reason may be an incorrect
#includestatement. In such cases, in order to see the real error you will also have to run the metadata generator in strict includes mode
Enabling strict includes mode
Starting with version 5.4 of {N} you can set the
TNS_DEBUG_METADATA_STRICT_INCLUDES environment variable to diagnose the reasons for missing
metadata entities when no errors related to their respective source files can be found in metadata generator's stderr log.
When this setting is enabled,
#include errors will be caught and logged in the stderr output but some Pod libraries might cause significantly less metadata
being parsed and generated, so it really should be used only when debugging issues with missing metadata.
$ TNS_DEBUG_METADATA_STRICT_INCLUDES="true" tns build ios [--for-device] [--release]

Post mid-term elections in the US, America is buzzing with the talks of next presidential polls. Since, Trump would be an incumbent from the Republicans; speculations are about the possible Democrat nominee for the 2020 White House bid. There are more than a dozen names hovering in the cloud but three names — Republican Nikki Haley and Democrats Tulsi Gabbard and Kamala Devi Harris — got my eyelid blip because these three are Indo-Americans who have made their names on their wit and grit in the American politics. Ironically, these three belongs to three different communities as Nikki Haley is a Sikh, Tulsi Gabbard is a Hindu and Kamala Harris is a Christian. These three have a wide acceptability in the American community and adding the NRI votes in it, they can be a befitting reply to Donald Trump who still believes 'America First' may help him win next term in the White House. While Nikki Haley is known as 'Great Negotiator' Kamala Harris is known as 'Lady Obama' in the US. So, any one of these three giving Trump a run for his money would be an interesting poll that the entire world would love to watch.
It's around a year since Rafale started to hit the headlines but neither opposition nor any institutions like CAG, CVC or the Supreme Court which is hearing the Rafale PIL has asked the reason for offset deal when there is only 36 ready to fly aircraft will be bought? But, the Rafale ruckus has definitely destabilized the BJP. When they ask about the evidence over the allegations over Rafale deal, they know institutions like CAG, CBI, CVC, Supreme Court etc. can propel the authenticity of the allegation, which can put them into an embarrassing situation and they have started to prepare for that as well. After CBI, CVC and RBI, now I can see the institution of CJI being added to the list as questions like who is the Chief Justice of India, what is his connection with the Congress have already started to flood the social media domain. However, in my opinion, if the Congress party manages to defeat Narendra Modi in 2019, Rafale would become a political weapon that would help Congress counter the Bofors charges. But, if Modi comes out victorious, the Rafale matter would go into the debris like various other allegations.
When elections arrive, it is normal practice that leaders from the laggard party start switching loyalty to the party which is front runner in the poll fray. In the last few months, a large number of BJP leaders have joined the Congress Party in Rajasthan, which indicates that Congress has an edge over the incumbent Vasundhara Raje government. However, same can't be said in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh as reports of turncoat are very little in both BJP and Congress camps this time. But, lack of turncoats is a good sign for the Congress Party as it indicates a close fight this time in MP and Chhattisgarh. But, in Telangana, KCR had thought that the opposition was not ready for polls and with the goodwill he has earned throughout the state; he would sail through the poll test with ease. But, to his surprise, both the Congress and the TDP combine have made the Telangana Assembly poll war into 119 local elections battles because unlike KCR, his MLAs don't command the same goodwill.. More importantly, KCR is not Modi who can negate local anti-incumbency with his presence. So, I will be eagerly waiting for the Telangana results as it will be indicative of the Congress Poll Plan for the 2019 general elections and possible solution to the 'Modi Wave.'
Binni Bansal has finally resigned from Flipkart after allegations of misbehaviour with a female colleague. He had to resign after the filing of a neutral probe report by a law firm, which was appointed by the Wal-Mart. In the time of #MeToo, Walmart has taken a step in the right direction by fast tracking investigation into allegations. Foreseeably, this shall not only reduce instances of instances of misdemeanor but also help a healthy working environment.
Jai Ho!

Each year, thousands of country-music fans converge in Nashville to enjoy four days of music with over 150 hours of concerts featuring the most coveted country stars. For 2015, the CMA Music Festival will take place from June 11 to June 14 at LP Field. In addition to stages featuring superstars and up-and-coming stars of country music, fans can take advantage of the fan fair where many well-known music artists make themselves available to provide autographs and photo opportunities. If your group is heading to Nashville for the music festival, there are a few tricks to make the most of your time and money.
Buy Your CMA Tickets Early
Buying tickets early is particularly important for groups that wish to sit together. CMA Music Festival Tickets become available for sale as early as July of the year prior. While you are at it, don't overwhelm your group with multiple events that will lead to fatigue and grumpy participants. Pick the best of the best, and use the rest of your time to enjoy the sights and other lateral free- or low-cost activities available during the festival week.
Don't Park at LP Field
Parking for multi-axle vehicles at LP Field is very costly. Have your bus drop you over at the entrance and pick you up at a remote location at the end of each event.
Select a Feature-Rich Hotel
Pick a hotel that knows how to cater to groups. If your group will require more than 10 guest rooms, have your Groople coordinator request a block of continuous rooms. Restaurants tend to be quite crowded during the festival, so consider a hotel option that offers free breakfast for your group.
We asked our Nashville group-hotel specialist to give us a few suggestions. These are excellent hotels that will cater to your group with a commitment to comfort and high-level hospitality:
- Embassy Suites Hotel Nashville
- Millennium Maxwell House Nashville
- Gaylord Opryland Resort (our personal favorite!)
Give us a call before it is too late, and let us secure the best possible hotel group rate for your trip to Nashville.
