My work* was exhibited in the group exhibition IN MEDIAS RES / The middle of painting curated by Christian Vetter at the art gallery annex14 in Zurich. An excerpt from the press release:
«Amina Giger explores very fundamental ways in which painting functions: How can lines produce planes? How can differently coloured planes be linked with one another so as to produce forms and representations? How is a figure linked into the pictorial plane? Giger achieves an impressive presence in her paintings through her courage to be uncompromising.»

Mmm, Mmm, Not so Good
Consumer staples stocks have been the worst performing sector this year (-12%), and Campbell's Soup stock (CPB) has done nothing to help. Since forming negative divergence and peaking in July of 2016, the stock went on to fall more than 22%, bottoming in October later that year. From that point it went on to rally, albeit a weak one eventually running out of gas in January of 2017, formed a lower high and an ominous rounded topping pattern. Top callers should memorize the look as it is what tops normally look like. From that point it has been downhill as the sellers have been in control pushing its price down more than 45%.
Fast forward to the present and notice how in the weekly chart of CPB below, the most recent low which formed two weeks ago, was done on extremely high volume as shown in the bottom pane (exhaustion selling?) and stopped right at a prior bottom (support). Notice also how momentum is now oversold and showing positive divergence. Exactly the opposite of what occurred at the top back in 2016. If one had a very long term investment horizon, they could consider dollar cost averaging into the stock. Typically, when a stock gets decimated like CPB has (think Chipotle, CMG) it can take 12-18 months before it's safe to enter as a buyer. Why? At that point all the sellers have left the building leaving only buyers and as such the stock can only go one direction, up. During that unwind in sellers, prices typically chop around viciously and will test your patience if you buy early. Forewarned is forearmed. In the meantime while you wait though, you will be paid fairly well to hold the stock as its dividend yield is now above 4%. I am not a top or bottom caller and as such this interest in CPB is about the small downside risk as compared to the upside potential.

Sharks one win away from Cup Final after topping Blues in Game 5
Get all of Allan Muir's columns as soon as they're published. Download the new Sports Illustrated app (iOS or Android) and personalize your experience by following your favorite teams and SI writers.
The San Jose Sharks bounced back from their worst performance of the playoffs to rout the St. Louis Blues in Game 5 of the Western Conference Final on Monday night.
The 6-3 win gives the Sharks a 3-2 series lead and pushes the Blues to the brink of elimination.
Joe Pavelski's second goal of the game on a had-to-see-it tip of a Brent Burns shot just 16 seconds into the third broke a 3-3 tie and sent the Sharks on to victory. San Jose also got a pair from Joel Ward, who counted one of two power play marker the Sharks scored on the night, along with singles from Marc-Edouard Vlasic and Chris Tierney. Goalie Martin Jones wasn't particularly sharp, but was assisted by a stout defense that allowed just 12 shots over the final 40 minutes. He stopped 18 of 21 St. Louis shots for the win.
Jaden Schwartz, with his first in 14 games, Troy Brouwer, and Robby Fabbri replied for the Blues.
The series resumes Wednesday in San Jose (9 ET; NBCSN, CBC, TVAS) where San Jose will look to clinch the series and make its first trip to the Stanley Cup Final.
Here are some quick hits on Game 5:
Turning Point
Brent Burns of the Sharks is lucky, charmed ... and good
This might have been death by a thousand cuts for the Blues if not for one massive self-inflicted wound. Just moments into the third period, defensemen Jay Bouwmeester sent a breakout attempt off the wall and all the way down for an icing call. That forced the Patrik Berglund line to stay on the ice for a defensive zone faceoff for St. Louis. Sharks coach Pete DeBoer took advantage, sending Joe Thornton's line over the boards. Eight seconds later, the puck was in the back of the Blues' net. Away from the tight checking and peerless faceoff presence of Paul Stastny, Pavelski won the draw from Berglund. The puck found its way to Burns, who rifled a shot from the point. His blast was probably going three feet wide until Pavelski reached out for a miraculous tip that Jake Allen had no chance on. Just 16 seconds in, the Sharks had a 4-3 lead they would not relinquish.
Vine of the Night
Speaking of beauty goals, take another look at this out-of-midair stroke from Brouwer. St. Louis hasn't seen a swing this sweet since Stan Musial was packin' 'em in at Sportsman's Park.
Tweet of the Night
I know this guy's out of work—maybe we can all chip in and buy him a new hat?
Notable Number: 0
Vladimir Tarasenko hits the wall in NHL playoffs
As in, another zero impact performance from St. Louis forward Vladimir Tarasenko. It's now five games in and he's still looking for his first point of the series after another oh-fer Monday night.
Tarasenko is a special player, but as the pressure weighs down on him you can almost see the wheels spinning behind his eyes every time he touches the puck. He overthought his first three shot attempts so long that each one was blocked. Then, in the third, he found himself all alone in the slot and passed up the chance. Coach Ken Hitchcock said the 40-goal scorer was learning some hard lessons in this series. Fair enough. But you have to wonder if the Blues can win this series without their gamebreaker breaking a single game.

What It Means
The Blues are in trouble. Deep, deep trouble. Not that they can't go into San Jose and take a game, but they're not going to get it done playing like this. Undisciplined penalties and unforced errors cost them dearly in Game 5.
"If we could have eliminated the errors, there was a tremendous amount of effort today, but we did make big errors," Hitchcock said. "They came back and haunted us."
So did some suspect goaltending. In the last two games, Allen has allowed seven goals. Not all of them were soft, but enough were that he's put coach Ken Hitchcock in a tough spot. He praised Allen's effort Monday night, but wouldn't commit to coming back with him in Game 6. With the season on the line, it might be Brian Elliott getting the call for the must-win contest.
For the Sharks, this was arguably the biggest win in franchise history. Now they have two chances, including one at SAP Center Wednesday night, to seal the deal and earn that long-awaited first trip to the Stanley Cup Final. Not that they want to look at it that way.
"I think we're reminding ourselves we're not there yet," DeBoer told the media after the win. "There's a lot of heavy lifting left. We know the team on the other side there. They're not going away. We've been close before and let teams off the mat. It's a great opportunity for us, but there's a lot of work left to do before we can start thinking about that."

Christmas carolers surprise Frisco teacher battling cancer
Image 1 of 4
FRISCO, Texas - A beloved teacher in Frisco got a special Christmas surprise.
Amy Ramsey has been battling an aggressive form of cancer. On Monday evening, she was able to forget about her disease just for a moment to be uplifted with songs and prayer.
A crowd of students, parents, fellow teachers and first responders gathered outside Ramsey's home to show their love.
"Surprise!" they shouted as she opened the door. They sang Jingle Bells and other Christmas carols for her afterward.
Ramsey teaches journalism courses at Pioneer Heritage Middle School in Frisco. She has also been a teacher at Saint Monica Catholic School in Dallas.

After weeks of faculty outcry, a stack of letters from University departments and a petition signed by more than 1,000 faculty members, University administrators announced Monday they would delay the planned transition to a Shared Services Center.
The Shared Services Center, a component of the Administrative Services Transformation initiative, was designed to consolidate some University departmental staff in a central service center, a move estimated to save the University about $5 million annually.
In response to concerns regarding the project's transparency and implications for University departments, the University announced that all staff moves would be delayed until after April, the period originally slated for staffing transitions.
University Provost Martha Pollack; E. Royster Harper, vice president for student life; and Timothy Slottow, executive vice president and chief financial officer, wrote in the letter the administration plans to immediately involve faculty in reevaluating the structure of the shared services program.
By including faculty, the administrators wrote that they hope to create a shared services program that "is structured to meet the needs of our faculty and our students while achieving necessary cost savings."
The letter noted that the decision to delay AST's implementation was made in consultation with University President Mary Sue Coleman.
Under the plan, each school and college would work with their faculty to determine the best steps to proceed with AST. However, the University will go ahead with plans to hold job preference interviews with staff originally set to transfer to the new center.
University spokesman Rick Fitzgerald said the letter gets across that the University has opted to take the time to consider alternative structures.
Engineering Prof. Fawwaz Ulaby, who authored the petition, said the University's announcement shows the faculty has gotten the attention of the administration.
However, he added that the University's response does nothing but delay the eventual AST implementation.
Ulaby said the University should be terminating AST before forming committees to study the best direction for University cost containment.
"The fundamental problem is AST is flawed and bad for the campus, and it should be terminated — period," he said.
At LSA's regularly scheduled faculty meeting held Monday afternoon, Pollack and Slottow again acknowledged the University's mishandling of shared services and attempted to assure faculty their concerns would not only be considered but play a central role in future decision-making processes.
"I'm committed to cost savings because I have no choice… but I'm also committed to repairing the damage that's been done during the rollout of AST," Pollack said.
At the end of the meeting, the LSA faculty approved a motion to vote next week to support a two-year moratorium on the Shared Services Transition. The motion has been placed on the agenda for the Dec. 9 LSA faculty meeting.
During the question-and-answer session, Dena Goodman, professor of history and women's studies, asked if the administration would be willing to abandon AST all together.
Slottow said if the University were to give up on AST, administrators would need to find savings elsewhere. From conversations with Coleman, regents and deans over the past few days, Slottow said there are still alternative options.
"While I understand the sentiment to say 'just stop it,' the sense of a lot of people is that that would be irresponsible," Pollack added. "It's our responsibility to move forward, but to do it right."
One faculty member asked Pollack how the University could stand behind the vision of a few administrators while 1,100 faculty members protest the very nature of AST.
"I trust the faculty more, but I want to say this, there is misinformation on both sides," Pollack said. "I am with the faculty. I am a faculty member."
Two faculty members also raised overarching concerns regarding AST. Two faculty members questioned the University's relationship with Accenture LLC — the consulting firm with an $11.7 million contract to implement the initiative.
Slottow said administrators regret how Accenture's selection was communicated to faculty.
"That is a failure," Slottow said. "I'm accountable for that; I feel responsible for that."
Faculty have expressed concern with Accenture's fee as well as its reputation and connections with Rowan Miranda, the University associate vice president for finance who formerly served as lead on Accenture's state and local government and higher education portfolios. In November, Slottow released a statement addressing faculty member's concerns.
At the LSA meeting, Slottow said AST is a complex program — a program the University does not have the resources to carry out on its own. He added that AST's project team is composed of 24 University representatives and 10 from Accenture, aided by 100 faculty and staff from across the University.
Slottow said the University held a regularly audited competitive bid process, during which a number of firms made offers for the AST contract. A team of people from across the University evaluated the bid before choosing Accenture.
However, Slottow said the firm has not performed at the level administrators had hoped it would and are "looking at ways to reduce their involvement."
Chemistry Prof. Charles Brooks asked if the University would disclose records related to the decision, to which Slottow responded by inviting anyone to look at the Accenture contract.
Brooks also asked why the initiative's projected savings has fallen from $17 million in reoccurring savings to $6 million.
"As far as savings go, I have been equally frustrated and very angry with those numbers," Pollack said.
However, Pollack said the decrease partly stems from the University's decision to refrain from running the transition like a corporation. Instead of saying each department needed to find ten people to cut, the University worked with department and college leaders to figure out feasible numbers.
Pollack said the University never had any intent to hide these updated projections from the faculty but has traditionally left cost containment projects for administrators to grapple with.
Describing the University's established "paternalistic" approach to cost-containment, Pollack said there has been the assumption that administrators should make decisions regarding efficiency and procurement savings, allowing faculty to focus on their research or teaching.
In the future, Pollack promised to gather input from faculty on similar issues, rather than protecting them from sometimes painful cost cutting processes.
"We've learned our lesson," she said. "I really do appreciate the degree to which the faculty is taking this seriously."

Tropical Christmas Angels by Sandy A.!
My tutorial is on making angel ornaments for the Christmas Tree. I've chosen the theme of Tropical Christmas so my angels are decked out in colourful florals.
Basic Grey Pattern Paper - Green at Heart's Daisy Maze Doily paired with Sugar Rush's jaw breakers; Max & Whiskers' Daisy Maze Doily paired with abbot
Others - Styrofoam figure, acrylic paint, doll's hair, feathers, pearls, ribbon trim
Instructions :
1. Paint the styrofoam head with flesh-tone acrylic (I've used Titanium buff straight from the tube)
2. Glue on the dolls' hair and draw in the eyes and lip with a felt-tip pen
3. Cut out the underskirt and 2 wings using this template
4. Cut out the overskirt using the template (without the tab) and glue the skirts together
5. Wrap the skirt around the styrofoam body and glue down the tab to secure
6. Glue on the wings and punch two holes with an awl
7. Coat the feather stem with some glue and push into the hole created
8. Embellish per your liking - I've add a pearl necklace to the neck, some ribbon trim to the skirt base and fussy-cut flowers to the overskirt.
There you have it - my Tropical Christmas Angels.
Hope it'll inspires you to make some crafty Christmas projects.

Lake Como and a week cruising the Rhine. Kinderdijk Update
We have just retuned from a great 10 days with some very good friends from a Viking cruise of the Rhine that started with 3 days at Lake Como in Italy.
We enjoyed really great weather and mostly blue skies and nice white clouds.
It was a trip that we had been looking forward to for quite a while and it was very good with the most spectacular views at Lake Come and on the Rhine.
Many photos were taken and each day I managed to find time to paint some watercolours of scenes we had seen as we travelled on the Viking Longship and on a smaller boat around Lake Como.
Most of these watercolours were sketch book size pen and ink studies which I hope will prove to be subjects for larger studio paintings in the future.
3 were larger 14 inch by 10 watercolours more traditionally painted with a few ink highlights. I have titled each one with their details.
The sparking water of Lake Como and the Rhine made the scenes really great and the Rhine Gorge area was spectacular with it's many Castles and lovely towns by the river. Our lake trip around Lake Como was wonderful too with time at Bellagio and stops at many interesting vistas around the lake.
So here are my Watercolours of the trip, I do hope you like them as they were all fun to paint.
In Como itself we ascended the funicular to Brunate for Great Lake views but Como Town itself is a very nice and ancient place.
The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, better know as Como Cathedral, caught my eye and so this is the first watercolour.
A view of a lakeside residence from the Como to Cernobbio ferry is the subject of this next painting with a water fountain being enjoyed by some local boys.
On our way to Bellagio we paused at some great vistas. This very tiny town of Nesso with a waterfall cascading through it to the lake was just one of many.
Here is my interpretation of the scene
Bellagio is very nice lakeside town to wander around ,enjoy a coffee and the stunning views. From there you can see and visit Varenna
i have also painted these two larger watercolours of Varenna
They are both 14 by 10 inches on Arches NOT watercolour paper.
Here they are
Lastly while on Lake Como I painted this watercolour of a lovely town as seen from our tour boat. It is called San Giovanni. Really a lovely looking town but so far only seen from the water. Maybe on the next visit….
We eventually left Lake Como and were driven across the Alps to Lucerne. A truly spectacular drive over the passes and not through the tunnels.
We boarded the ship at Basel, itself a very lovely town but no paintings from there as yet
We traversed 600 miles of the Rhine to Amsterdam and the passage through the Rhine Gorge was terrific with many castles and towns to see.
These two painting are of Kaub Castle, Pfalz. This was once a tollgate on the Rhine and dates back many hundreds of years.
On the way to the Rhine Gorge we stopped at Strasbourg and took a detour to Heidelberg on the River Neckar. I managed a quick sketch of the impressive bridge at Heidelberg with its towers.
From the Rhine Gorge we travelled to Amsterdam and stopped at Kinderdijk to see the lovely windmills there. That painting and some others are now awaiting action in the studio so another Rhine post should be coming soon.There were so many wonderful scenes to paint that I may be busy for while!
And so here is an update. This watercolour was painted today. October 1st.
This is Kinderdijk in The Netherlands. Our final stop before Amsterdam
This watercolour is 14 by 10 inches on Rough watercolour paper.
Title : "Kinderdijk Windmills on a blustery evening"
Happy Travelling
Places I would really like to visit !! A occasional series of Watercolours. Number 1.
Hi All
Followers of this site will know that I love to travel and to paint watercolours of the places that we have visited.
Occasionally I paint watercolours of places that I haven't visited , but they may have been visited by friends or people who have asked me to paint a watercolour of a particular place.
Painting these watercolours always leads to me wishing that I might visit and holiday there and paint on the spot!
Sometimes just the planning can be a great way to get there ahead of yourself!
So I thought that now and again I would publish a blog post with a few of these "other places" for you to have look at too.
You could almost say this is my bucket list for the future, but in reality my bucket list is far longer than these watercolours portray.
Many thanks to all our friends ,colleagues, and family for these ideas of future travel and the pleasure that I have had painting "Watercolours from THEIR Travels"!
This month I have picked three places from the ever increasing list. The first one is of Lake Como in Italy, then the South Island of New Zealand, and finally Lake Bled in Slovenia.
First of all Lake Como
I painted this small watercolour as reminder for some friends who had sent me postcard of their stay in Bellagio. We have visited Lake Maggiore and Lake Garda which are very beautiful, but we have not yet been Lake Como. The town of Bellagio looks so delightful so I am sure it will make a great holiday destination, and a base for water taxis around the Lake.
The second place I have chosen for this months blog is in the South island of New Zealand. We have visited the South Island a few years ago and had a wonderful holiday there with friends playing golf and sightseeing, but we were there for only a few weeks and never made it to the Fox Glacier, or the Haast Highway as it winds its way through the Southern Alps of New Zealand . The Haast Highway is thus the subject of this painting. Again painted as a momento for some good friends who did manage to get there it tries to capture the scale on the huge mountains in that part of New Zealand.
Finally for this Post I have chosen a very beautiful place that I really do want to visit.
This is Lake Bled in Slovenia. We have visited the Coastal area of Slovenia, where we found the food and wine terrific and the people very friendly. It is beautiful Country. Two groups of our friends have been to Lake Bled and this larger painting tries to capture the beauty of the Church on the Island in Lake Bled. Bled Castle can be seen in the distance and the Julian Alps are behind.. The Church, a Pilgrimage one, is dedicated to the "Assumption of Mary" and is also used for weddings as well as visits. The church has a 52 m (171 ft) tower and there is a Baroque stairway built in 1655 with 99 stone steps leading up to the building. (don't try to count my steps, they may not all be there!)
I hope you have enjoyed seeing these paintings of really nice places to visit. Some more another time.
Note to self…..I must get the planning underway!

There are just a few bodybuilding gyms in Denver. These gyms can be excellent places for both the newbie to fitness and those who need help for competition preparation. For the seasoned competitor, bodybuilding gyms have trainers who specialize in preparing people to look their best, plus provide important information on the ins and outs of competing. They help bodybuilders with nutrition and exercises that will ensure they look their best.
Bodybuilding gyms can provide top tier nutritional information.
While a bodybuilder will have a diet that's created specifically for burning fat and building muscle tissue, it's also a well balanced diet. In order to understand the nutritional needs of bodybuilders, the trainers at these gyms have to have far more knowledge than the average trainer. It requires all the base knowledge that most trainers possess, plus a few steps more. It's a specialty area. You can understand how that can also help the average person that wants to get a shredded look.
Muscle symmetry and overall muscularity is important for both the average person and competitors.
While most people that compete understand the importance of symmetry, the average person that doesn't compete in bodybuilding can also reap benefits. When you have symmetry, which is equal strength and muscle development on both sides of the body, you have better functional fitness. Your balance improves, you have increased core strength and increased functional strength. Symmetry reduces your chances for injury.
A great body starts in the kitchen.
No matter what type of fitness goal you have, you'll get the most benefit from learning the right types of food to eat and the right combination of foods to lower your percentage of body fat and increase your percentage of muscle. People who have specific needs, such as bodybuilders, get special diets and nutritional advice that can save time and money trying to put something together on their own. Those without special will get the best possible advice to ensure they reach their own personal goals.
- While bodybuilding gyms are great, some can be pretty expensive. If you can get the benefits of having a personal trainer that you might find in a bodybuilding gym, without the extra expense, it's a good opportunity.
- Even if you start a workout program just to look and feel better, when you workout with a bodybuilding trainer, you'll probably want to go even further.
- Not everyone has access to a bodybuilding gym. If you're a competitor, consider getting online training from an experienced coach. It's especially good if you get interactive time with the coach.
- For the average person, working with a bodybuilding coach can get you to your goal faster. The coach will give you both a healthy diet and a workout program to ensure you'll do that.

Unfortunately, anxiety in teenagers is increasingly common among adolescents. In fact, about 32 percent of American teens between the ages of 13 and 18 have an anxiety disorder at some point.
It's not always easy to tell when typical teen stress crosses over into anxiety in teenagers. However, teens with an anxiety disorder experience particularly high levels of anxiety. Moreover, these feelings get worse over time, rather than improving on their own.
Additionally, teens with anxiety disorders struggle with feelings of tension and fear that can interfere with daily activities at work and at school. Furthermore, the disorder affects relationships with peers and family members.
Teens can be diagnosed with a number of different types of anxiety disorders. Let's look at the primary types of teenage anxiety disorders.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is the most common teen anxiety disorder. Onset can be as early as age 6, but symptoms usually appear around age 11.
This type of anxiety in teenagers involves excessive anxiety or worry over everyday events, which lasts for a prolonged period of time. Teens with generalized anxiety experience intense emotional stress, as well as a range of anxiety-related symptoms. Moreover, teens with GAD typically experience excessive worrying and low self-esteem.
Generalized anxiety disorder symptoms include the following:
- Inability to control feelings of worry and stress
- Restlessness or edginess
- Fatigue
- Difficulty concentrating
- Irritability
- Muscle tension
- Sleep problems
Researchers theorize that the causes of general anxiety disorder include a disruption in how the brain reacts to the signals it uses to identify and confront danger. Fortunately, however, GAD is very treatable.

Social Anxiety
Social anxiety affects about 15 million Americans. Furthermore, the typical age of onset being 13 years old.
Often referred to as social phobia, social anxiety disorder is when a person is overcome with fear and worry in social settings. Therefore, this type of anxiety in teenagers negatively impacts a teen's everyday routines.
Typically, a person with a social phobia experiences intense anxiety that leads to deep feelings of embarrassment and fear of being judged by others. Consequently, a teen with social phobia often withdraws and avoids contact with peers or adults. Thus, social anxiety can be paralyzing for teenagers in school and at family gatherings.
Subsequent difficulties caused by social anxiety symptoms arise in school, at work, and in personal relationships. Therefore, teens that experience these symptoms for more than six months are often diagnosed with social anxiety.
Additional social anxiety symptoms include
- Feeling nauseous
- Sweating
- Nervous shaking
- Unexpected blushing
- Fear of having to talk or perform in front of a group
Anxiety Attacks
Anxiety attacks often begin in the late teens or early adulthood. Unlike panic attacks, anxiety attacks are reactions to external stressors. An anxiety attack is typically a symptom of an anxiety disorder. However, not everyone with an anxiety disorder will experience anxiety attacks.
Anxiety attacks result when an individual encounters a specific stressor. A person undergoing an anxiety attack will often experience any or all of the following symptoms:
- Feeling fearful or full of dread
- Shortness of breath
- Racing heart
- Cold sweats
- Dizziness and wooziness.
However, anxiety attacks tend to be short-lived, passing once the stressor is removed. In fact, symptoms of an anxiety attack tend to be less extreme than the physical symptoms of panic attacks.
Next, let's look at panic attacks and panic disorder.
Panic Disorder
Panic disorder is quite common. Every year, close to six million Americans experience panic disorder.
Panic disorder often begins in childhood or early adolescence, although it tends to set in during late adolescence or early adulthood. Additionally, girls are twice as likely as boys to suffer from panic disorder.
A manifestation of the fight-or-flight response, panic disorder involves a fear of disaster or of losing control, even when there is no apparent danger. Thus, people with panic disorder have sudden and often unexpected periods of intense fear.
Therefore, panic attacks are the main symptom of panic disorder. Sometimes, panic attacks can be triggered by an anxiety-producing event in the future, or even by the fear of having another panic attack. However, panic attacks don't usually result from obvious triggers, such as boarding a plane when you're afraid of flying.
The symptoms of panic disorders may include the following:
- Rapid chest palpitations
- Accelerated heart rate
- Sweating
- Shaking
- Nausea
- Chills
- Dizziness
- Breathing problems
Moreover, panic disorder often runs in families. Thus, teens with a family history of panic attacks are more susceptible to panic disorder.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a common anxiety disorder that affects both teens and adults. In fact, it afflicts one in every 100 adults in the United States, and between one in 200 children and teens, according to the National Institute on Mental Health.
People with obsessive-compulsive disorder are overwhelmed by unwanted and disturbing thoughts, images, or urges—known as obsessions. These obsessions create extreme anxiety. Examples of OCD obsessions include fears about safety, aversion to germs or dirt, and taboo thoughts about sex and violence.
In order to relieve the anxiety, a person with OCD engages in repetitive actions or thoughts, known as compulsions. Common OCD compulsions include repeatedly checking locks, excessive hand washing, counting, and obeying a set of rigid rules.
People with OCD usually feel the need to engage in these behaviors throughout each day. Therefore, obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms become time consuming and lead to psychological distress. Even if the person knows that their fears and behaviors are irrational, they are unable to stop themselves.
Furthermore, OCD and anxiety go hand in hand, so teen with OCD may also exhibit anxiety disorder symptoms. Additionally, OCD can increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors.
Although no clear cause is known, types of OCD do tend to run in families.
Phobias and Anxiety
Phobias, or irrational fears, are a type of anxiety disorder. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, more than 10 million American adults suffer from a phobia. Furthermore, phobias typically start in childhood and adolescence, and then continue into adulthood.
A phobia is an extremely irrational fear of or aversion to something that poses little or no actual danger. While the causes of specific phobias are not known, they can run in families.
Here are some of the most common phobias.
- Arachnophobia—fear of spiders
- Claustrophobia—fear of enclosed spaces
- Acrophobia—fear of heights
- Mysophobia—fear of germs
- Hypochondria—fear of becoming ill
- Necrophobia or thanatophobia—fear of death
- Ophidiophobia—fear of snakes
- Cynophobia—fear of dogs
- Aerophobia—fear of flying
- Medical phobia—fear of doctors, injections, hospitals, and/or medical procedures
- Agoraphobia—fear of open places or fear of leaving the house.
Moreover, the negative consequences of phobias include panic attacks; physical symptoms, such as cold sweats and a racing heartbeat; and avoidance behaviors, in which the person attempts to avoid the focus of phobia.
Recognizing Teen Anxiety Disorders
While there are different types of teen anxiety disorders, many of these disorders manifest in a set of common symptoms. These include the following:
- Performance dip in school, poor report cards, poor testing results
- Loss of interest in activities they used to enjoy, a noticeable drop in social interactions
- Trouble sleeping at night, exhaustion for no apparent reason, always worn down
- Loss of appetite and eating disturbances, inability to enjoy meals once favored
- Substance use disorder, using drugs and drinking as forms of self-medication
- Avoiding people, places, and things that trigger the anxious feelings
Parents who recognize these symptoms in a teen should reach out for support and an expert assessment.
Treating Teenage Anxiety Disorders
Normal levels of teenage anxiety can often be alleviated by positive habits. Specifically, these include the following healthy behaviors.
- Better sleep routines
- Good nutrition
- Authentic, compassionate connections with family and peers
- Time spent unplugged in nature
- Mindfulness practices like yoga and meditation.
However, for young people suffering from a teen anxiety disorder, professional help is essential. Effective therapeutic modalities for teen anxiety include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and a wide range of experiential therapies. In fact, more than 40 randomized clinical trials support the efficacy of CBT for the treatment of anxiety disorders in children and adolescents.
In conclusion, anxiety disorders are both common and highly treatable. The earlier an anxiety disorder is assessed, diagnosed, and addressed, the more likely it is that treatment will be successful.

Let's consider a field E waves, the falling wave consisting from with a frequency and from two scattered waves from and. We will designate amplitudes of these waves respectively through, and, using identical indexes for wave vectors and phases. The casual field can be described by expression
The first anti-Stokes AS1 line corresponding to the first Stokes S1 line finds a strong maximum of intensity at an angle of dispersion about 3,0 °. Apparently, anti-Stokes dispersion does not happen in correction of an incident light, and after a maximum quickly falls down to zero.

Molecular vibration can be presented in the form as fluctuation of a point with x (the point is one of atoms of a having the mass of t), with the coefficient of attenuation of R and elastic effort returning a point in balance. Under the influence of the external periodic force resulting from a with a casual field of a wave E the movement which is described by the equation is created
Dispersion in the anti-Stokes party is observed in the form of the concentric rings surrounding a laser beam of light. The subsequent rings correspond a with a bigger frequency (shorter wavelength). Stokes dispersion has various directions, but the greatest intensity of light on the direction of the falling bunch.

According to this expression anti-Stokes light along a cone which axis coincides with an incident light, and — a corner between this and the direction forming a cone. On the screen,
The first Stokes S1 line finds the greatest intensity in the direction of a laser beam. In process of increase of a corner intensity decreases and does not find other maximum in any certain direction. (Emergence of maxima in the subsequent Stokes S2 and S3 lines, and also very weak maxima on the S1 line has the special reason which we will not discuss here.)

Strong interaction of this wave can happen to a molecule only near a resonance, and consequently, with a frequency in an infrared which is the frequency of beats. Therefore for calculation of force of F we will use only that part of the general expression which contains differential frequency. The general expression has an appearance

While anti-Stokes photons have really precisely certain, Stokes photons dissipate in various directions, the main thing 0'brazom in the direction of the falling beam.

To the last there corresponds the wave vector of the wave arising from the coherent molecular vibrations excited by the falling optical wave. The first step consists in formation of a Stokes photon and phonon from the first laser photon:

Demonstrate Progress rather than Report
One of the important 'features' of agility is the demonstration of working code on a cadence. In SAFe we demonstrate working software at regular intervals. For one of my projects, we had the Product Owner personally demonstrate working code (in the FUT environment) to her peers every Day 10 afternoon at 2pm. It was like a 45-minute television show – started on time and was introduced by the anchor with small 'stories' sequenced in a logical flow. We had a sync-up after the morning scrum call to make sure everybody knew their part. Sometimes we had to pull a "Julia Childs" and show how we mixed up the cake, then set the un-cooked cake below the counter and (wallah!) pull a completely cooked cake out and place on the counter to decorate. The most important part, however, was that the PRODUCT OWNER herself was demonstrating the working code – no smoke and mirrors from IT and a business representative explaining *why* what the teams developed was valuable.
Because the Product Owner's VP attended these sessions (most often in person, but sometimes via WebEx), we enjoyed record attendance. Because everyone who cared to know how progress was being achieved attended these sessions – no one needed to get biweekly reports from the team. This freed everyone up to concentrate on the business-value work and less on record keeping. Success begets success… and demos remove the need for reports.

While Sarah was off camping and having a wonderful time, Peter had his best friend Colton over to spend the night. We took the boys to Christo's for dinner. Typically Christo's has an all you can eat pizza bar that the boys were excited to get, but of course, they don't have it on Friday. So they got wings instead.
Eating wings is Peter's new favorite thing to do. He started out by eating them plain and worked his way up to mild. But on Friday night, he decided he would get medium. Dan and I talked the boys into getting medium and mild just in case they couldn't take the heat.
It was probably a good thing because after 3 medium wings, Peter switched to mild. Here they are enjoying their wings:
Yum. Look at the sauce dripping off the wing Peter is holding. Makes me wish I had a big plate of wings right now.
We told the waitress it was Peter's birthday (well, Peter was concerned because it wasn't technically his birthday until next week and he didn't want to lie so we told her we were celebrating his birthday which was true) and she rounded up all the other waitress and came out clapping and singing with a piece of cheesecake.
Look at these cute faces while all the waitresses are singing:
They devoured the cheesecake in about 30 seconds and then proceeded to have a sword fight with the cutlery because that's what 8 almost 9 year old boys do.

Hi I'm Robin and this is my new life running a business in an industry that I am proud to be part of and living my life my way....with freedom!
It wasn't always this way and I'd raised my kids always thinking security was the most important thing. But security didn't mean anything if it locked me into a life that wasn't getting me where I really wanted and limited opportunities for my whole family.
Now I have used all my life and work experience to my advantage in my new business - I have choice now and can put my skills and talent to work to achieve a rewarding lifestyle and a total change in my confidence and self belief. I take my business with me when I travel and am busy working on my bucket list.
My future is what I want to make it!
A day by the water in Phuket Thailand.
Cocktails with our hosts Rachel and Shane during a training trip for my business
This pic taken at a roadside market in Phuket. I love exploring the market stalls and local products.
THE PROBLEM THAT LED ME HERE: I was in my late 50s, recently divorced and then told I was to become redundant from my government job. It didn't matter how much heart and soul I put into my work, a number cruncher who didn't know me or my achievements could pull the rug out from under me. I decided that I wanted to take control of my life and make my own choices and make the next season of my life better than I'd ever had. I didn't want to live week to week anymore and now on my own, an empty nester, I wanted to back myself and try something I'd never been brave enough to try. I figured if I wanted a different outcome, I had to be prepared to leave my comfort zone – which was no longer comfortable anyway – and try something new.
THE JOURNEY TO FIND MY PATH: Looking at all the things I'd done in my career, I realized I DID have a lot to offer. I was a hard worker, loved seeing tasks completed, enjoyed talking to people from all walks of life, and I was prepared to grow and change and learn new things. What I really wanted was freedom to schedule my time my own way, travel and take time to smell the roses along the way. I also wanted to be rewarded well for my efforts. Job hunting, commuting and playing the corporate game was NOT what I wanted, so I realised I would have to work for myself if I was to achieve my goals. So I began exploring what was out there….
THE ANSWER CAME AFTER ANSWERING AN AD: I responded to an ad nearly two years ago that popped up on social media, and it led me to this business. It offered all the things I wanted and none of the things I didn't. I saw clearly that I could apply myself to the simple steps and that this could be the vehicle to achieve my goals. Being a practical person, I knew that I could follow the business plan and learn what successful people do and I had a burning desire to be one of them!
THE BUSINESS THAT WAS A BOOM: The business that I was led to that day, is the business that I run today. I'm proud to represent award winning Personal Development products that have made huge changes to my life and to so many others. Tapping into a global economy, I connect easily with clients both locally in Australia and internationally. I'm privileged to work with other incredible entrepreneurs who are supportive, talented and inspiring to me every day.
If you're looking for a way to be rewarded for your time and talent. If you're a great multi-tasker and are looking to change up your situation and have time to devote to a new business venture, reach out to me today!

The Minecraft Coder Pack contains a wide variety of tools that coders can use to alter the world of Minecraft. Although these tools won't be very useful for the average Minecraft player, they're a valuable resource that many modders have used to enhance the game in dozens of different ways.
Before using the Minecraft Coder Pack, the creators of this tool suggest that you meet the following requirements:
-You know how to understand and write code in Java
-You know how to install the latest Java Developer's Kit and add it to the PATH variable on your system
In other words, those who are experienced with Java will easily be able to use the Minecraft Coder Pack, but those who aren't should stay far away. In addition, the Minecraft Coder Pack requires a clean install of Minecraft whenever MCP is being used.
Basically, the Minecraft Coder Pack makes the life of a Minecraft modder significantly easier. It allows players to decompile the Minecraft client and server .jar files, which makes it easier to add new features into the game. Using this decompiled source code, modders can create all sorts of different mods. After coding is complete, it's easy to recompile the modified version of Minecraft you just created and reobfuscate the Minecraft mod classes.
The creators of MCP warn that releasing the source code for Minecraft is strictly illegal, and that users of the Minecraft Coder Pack should not do anything that violates Mojang's terms of service.
For further assistance, the Minecraft Coder Pack team also runs an IRC channel. Minecraft coders can access the channel at #mcp at irc.esper.net.
How to install Minecraft Coder Pack for Minecraft 1.6.4/1.7.2/1.7.4/1.7.5
MCP doesn't feature a traditional installation process. In fact, it's never really installed on your system at all. Instead, modders simply download the latest release from the MCP Wiki. In that downloaded folder, modders will find dozens of tools they can use to modify Minecraft.
Full details about the Minecraft Coder Pack can be found on the MCP Wiki, but using the mod is fairly straightforward for those who already know how to modify the Minecraft engine.

Does Your "About Us" Page Need A Tune-up? | Best of the Web
Featured article …
4 Rules for Creating a High-Converting About Us Page
Learn the 4 rules for creating high-converting About Us Pages. Check out the examples, tips and framework for the top About Us Pages in the world.
What you will learn from this article …
52% of respondents said the first thing they want to see when they land on a website is a company's 'About Us' page.
People decide who to trust, who to buy from and who to listen to based on a simple metric of believability. Your company's success is directly impacted by how trusted and liked you are.
Your 'About Us' page is where you make that first personal connection with your prospect. It's where they find out if you 'get them', if you're like them and if you're trustworthy.
If you're ready to create the latter, (the high converting type of 'About us' page), here are the 4 elements you need to make sure of:
- Make it About the Customer – What customers are really looking for is to see how well you understand them and their pain
- Talk TO Your Customers, Not At Them – Your prospect is searching for someone who speaks to her, someone she can identify with and nod at the screen in agreement while saying – "Exactly!"
- Tell the Story – A story makes you believable, trustworthy and it humanizes your business.
- Don't Just Say It, Show It – Use the right kind of photos of your team, photos that will establish believability and make your customers want to grab a coffee with you and have a chat.
Takeaways …
- Make sure your About Us page is prominent and easy to find.
- How much traffic does your About page get? Compare it to other pages on your site.
- Are ~50% of new visitors going to your About page?
- What is the About page bounce rate?
- Read your About page content. Does it cover the 4 points above?

First Steps
On this page you can find a general introduction to the tool Text Images. If you have a question regarding a specific function, you should have a look at the functions page, where each function is explained in detail.
You can use the program Text Images to write an arbitrary text on images and to save the images automatically. There are many possibilities for adjustments, so that you can just give your desired look and format to the images.
Your first image
Start the program. You will see a box on the top, in which you can see a preview for the image with the current settings. Below, you can make all of this settings. The area "Text" is open, where you can enter the text, that is then written to the image. Under the box, there are options to select whether you want to create a single image or multiple images. Either the entire text is written on a single image or each line is written on its own image. Write some text in the box and look at the changes in the preview. You can then click on the "Create and Save" button at the bottom right corner. This saves the image by using the current settings.
Font, size, margins and spacing
We have seen the first area "Text", where you can enter your text. The next two areas are "Font and Format" and "Margins and Spaces". In these areas, you can experiment with the settings for yourself. Vary the font size, font color or format and have a look at the preview to see how your image will be changed. You can also experiment with the spaces. Click in one of the boxes and turn your mouse wheel. The distances from the text to the sides will change. On the left you can set whether the image size is fixed or variable. This means either the image size is independent of the text size or the image size is chosen so that the text fits perfectly onto the image.
In the last section, you can choose a folder, a file name and a file format. There is a special feature for file renaming. Either you can specify a file name or Text Images can create a name from the text. This can be a good idea if you have a great amount of images to process. Click on "Options for File Names" to specify exactly the form of the automatically generated file name.

Miguel Cotto defeated Daniel Geale with a knockout in the fourth round to make defend his WBC Middleweight Championships title. Cotto was quite strong from the first ring of the bill and round 1 and had Geale reeling back from the start. Cotto drop Geale twice in the round 4 before referee jumped in stop the fight.
Cotto proved to be too strong in a fight against Geale at the Barclays Arena, Brooklyn New York infront of around 12000 fans. Cotto landed some heavyblows in round 1 and from that point it was evident that he will stop Geale in just matter of rounds.
The fourth round proved to be the downfall of Geale who quit after the second knocked down. Now Miguel Cotto has turned his attention to Canelo Saul Alvarez and promised that the fight will happen if people wants to see that fight.
Official Highlights
Miguel Cotto will be fighting against former two time world champion Australia Daniel Geale for the WBC middleweight title championship on Saturday night, 06 June 2015. It will be part of HBO's "Boxing Championship Night" series which is a not a PPV event. Last night the last press conference took place in Barclays Arena where Cotto suggested that a catchweight 157 is a fair way to go about the fight because Cotto believes he is not a natural 160 pounder.
Daniel Geale's last big fight was against Gennedy Golovkin where he lost in the third round. So going into the fight Cotto is overwhelming favourite but he can not take Geale lightly after all they guy is former two time world champion.
There are whole list of undercard fights also announced for the weekend with the likes of Wilfredo Vazquez Jr, Alberto Machado and couple of other exciting names fighting on Cotto-Geale undercard. The fight will be taking place at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York and HBO will have the live coverage in USA starting at around 10:30 PM ET | 07:30 PM PT. While BoxNation channel will be broadcasting the fight live starting at 03:00 AM UK (Sunday early hours). In Geale's native Australia the fight will be shown on FoxSports starting at around 11:30 AM Australia time (Sunday)

American actress Anne Hathaway has starred in films like The Devil Wears Prada, Becoming Jane, Love and Other Drugs, and Les Miserables.
Actress Anne Hathaway was born in Brooklyn, New York, on November 12, 1982. As a youngster, she was accepted into The Barrow Group theater company. In 1999, she got her first big break on the short-lived television series Get Real. Shortly after the series ended, Hathaway took landed the role that made her famous, playing Mia Thermopolis in The Princess Diaries. In 2006, she found huge success with the film The Devil Wears Prada (2006). In 2007, she starred in Becoming Jane, a film about Jane Austen. Hathaway then garnered both critical and commerical attention for her role in 2010's Love and Other Drugs, due in no small part to her nude scenes in the film, and went on to win acclaim or later film appearances, including those in The Dark Knight Rises and Les Miserables (both released in 2012).
Early Life
Actress Anne Hathaway was born on November 12, 1982, in Brooklyn, New York. The daughter of an actress and a lawyer, Hathaway grew up in Millburn, New Jersey. She excelled at performing early on, becoming the first and only teenager accepted to The Barrow Group, a theater company and acting school in New York City.
In 1999, Hathaway got her first big break on the television series Get Real, which only lasted one season. She played the oldest daughter, Meghan, on the family drama. Her work on the series earned her a Teen Choice Award nomination (best actress in a drama).
Career Breakthrough
Shortly after the series ended, Hathaway took on the role that made her famous: She starred as Mia Thermopolis, a smart, klutzy teen who learns she is actually a princess of a small country called Genovia, in The Princess Diaries (2001). Thermopolis's grandmother, played by Julie Andrews, instructs her in all things royal. While reviews were mixed, the film scored big with audiences, earning approximately $108 million at the box office. Hathaway earned another Teen Choice Award nomination for her work on the film.
Hathaway returned to the role for the 2004 sequel, The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement. That same year, she played the title character in Ella Enchanted, a twist on the Cinderella story. The film received mostly positive reviews, with critic Roger Ebert describing her as "beautiful" and "luminous."
Hathaway departed from making family friendly films in 2005, with Havoc and Brokeback Mountain. In the independent film Havoc, she played a privileged Los Angeles teen who drawn to the city's grittier side. The Academy Award-winning Brokeback Mountain, directed by Ang Lee, featured Hathaway in a supporting role as Lureen, a wife whose husband is in love with a man. She earned strong reviews for her portrayal of a tough, sexy Texan.
Further Success
Hathaway's success on the silver screen continued with The Devil Wears Prada (2006), a film adaptation of the best-selling novel by Lauren Weisberger. In the film, Hathaway plays a struggling journalist who takes a job at a fashion magazine out of desperation, and finds herself working as an assistant for the publication's difficult and demanding editor-in-chief. Her character's boss, played by Meryl Streep, is said to have been based on Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine.
For her next role, Hathaway took on an English accent to play literary legend Jane Austen. The historical romance, Becoming Jane (2007), focuses on the relationship between Austen and a young Irish lawyer, played by James McAvoy. She demonstrated her range on this and other films, including Get Smart (2008), a big-screen adaptation of the similarly titled hit TV comedy, in which Hathaway stars opposite Steve Carell; and the 2008 thriller Passengers. Hathaway's role as Kym in the movie Rachel Getting Married (2008) earned her an Academy Award nod (best actress).
Hathaway returned to lighter fare with the romantic comedy Bride Wars in 2009, starring opposite Kate Hudson. The film received a lukewarm reception from movie goers, earning more than $58 million at the box office. The following year, Hathaway had a supporting role in the ensemble comedy Valentine's Day, which also featured Jennifer Garner, Topher Grace, Ashton Kutcher and Jessica Biel.
Tackling a famous literary character in her next project, Hathaway played the White Queen in Tim Burton's reimagining of the famous children's tale Alice in Wonderland in 2010. The film, starring Mia Wasikowska as Alice and Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, proved to be a huge commercial and critical success. Hathaway also appeared in the 2010 satire of the pharmaceutical industry, Love and Other Drugs, starring opposite Jake Gyllenhaal; and in 2011's One Day, a film based on the 2009 novel by David Nicholls.
In 2012, Hathaway landed one of her most exciting roles yet: Playing Catwoman in the third film of Christopher Nolan's Batman series, The Dark Knight Rises. She then starred in Les Miserables (2012) alongside Hugh Jackman, Amanda Seyfried and Russell Crowe. In the film, Hathaway plays Fantine, a poor French woman who turns to prostitution to support her only child, Cosette. In January 2013, she received a Golden Globe Award (best supporting actress) for her performance in Les Miserables. Hathaway's winning streak continued with her first Academy Award win for best supporting actress for her portrayal of Fantine that February.
The following year, among other projects, Hathaway co-starred in the Christopher Nolan sci-fi epic Interstellar, playing a future scientist and astronaut who seeks a new home for Earth's inhabitants. In 2015, Hathaway showed off her comedic skills in The Intern with Robert De Niro. She is set to appear with Johnny Depp with the upcoming Alice Through the Looking Glass.
Personal Life
Hathaway began dating Italian real estate developer Raffaello Follieri in 2004. The couple split in June of 2008, after law officials accused Follieri of swindling investors out of millions and falsely claiming that the Vatican appointed him to manage its financial affairs.
Hathaway married actor and jewelry designer Adam Shulman on September 29, 2012. The couple had been dating for four years at the time. Hathaway gave birth to their son Jonathan Rosebanks Shulman on March 24, 2016 in Los Angeles.
In addition to acting, Hathaway supports several charities, including the Step Up Women's Network and the Lollipop Theater Network. She currently lives in New York City.

Improve Your Chances
With inventory diminishing daily and multiple offers being extremely common, it is of great importance that you position yourself to have the "Best Chance" to get your offer accepted. You enhance your chance of getting the home of your choice by doing the following:
- Get pre-approved for the purchase. This takes very little time and is of great value. At this time, identify the price range for which you qualify and which fits your lifestyle.
- Submit a strong competitive offer. Submit the offer as if there will be multiple offers.
- Include a substantial earnest money deposit. Acceptance of an offer is sometimes determined by the amount of the deposit. A larger amount may signify a bigger commitment to the seller.
- Minimize or eliminate contingencies. The fewer contingencies, the stronger the offer.
- Make a buyer profile available. Time on the job, flexibility, reason for purchasing seller's home, etc.
- Be prepared to preview a new property quickly. Homes sell sometimes in hours. Be prepared to make decisions quickly and be accessible to change the terms instantly.
- To have instant communication access between buyer and agent. Let us maintain instant access to each other via office phone, voice mail, fax, pager or cellular phone.

4 in custody after shooting, drug deal near Slidell
Four people were arrested after an overnight drug deal "went bad" in Oak Harbor near Slidell, the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office said.
According to a news release from the Sheriff's Office, a 911 call was made about 12:30 a.m. Wednesday, reporting gun shots outside a home on Cape Breton Drive.
Jimmy Coyne, 23, of Folsom, Kelsey Schoenbeger, 18, of Lacombe, Donice Garrett, 23, of Folsom and Jonathan Vines, 23, of Slidell were at the home during what authorities said was an attempted drug deal.
During the exchange, shots were fired and a man was struck, authorities said. The shooting victim's name wasn't released. He was taken to the hospital for injuries to his abdomen and backside. He was placed in the intensive care unit and is expected to be released in a couple of days, the Sheriff's Office said.
Coyne, Garrett and Shoenbeger were arrested on armed robbery and drug charges.
Vines was arrested on a charge of drug possession with intent to distribute.
Photos of the four weren't available.

The business landscape has become so unforgiving these days that leaders now have to put competitive advantage at the forefront of their agenda. As such, all businesses are keen on ramping up their digital adoption efforts, seeking to leverage technologies like cloud computing, big data, and artificial intelligence to give them that 'edge'.
It's no surprise that Global IT spending is expected to reach $3.8 trillion this year, but unfortunately, 70 percent of transformative attempts fail. For smaller ventures, access to resources can play a major role as aggressive company-wide digital adoption isn't exactly cheap to implement. For larger organizations, their size and complexity make the introduction of new systems and tools challenging. The reality is, inertia and status quo bias can also stymie efforts -- but there are ways to overcome the barriers.
1. Focus on value, first
Becoming early adopters of disruptive technologies can be advantageous. Take Amazon and Netflix, for example. By successfully integrating big data and machine learning, they were able to develop and train their recommendation engines. These engines have helped both companies better engage customers and are largely responsible for their growth and dominance in their respective markets.
Retailers, for example, could benefit from using big data and machine learning to optimize their supply chains. Manufacturers can leverage the Internet-of-Things (IoT) to better automate their processes. Regardless of industry, focus on the value, first. Then you can start the relevant planning.
2. Get stakeholder and investor buy-in
Digital adoption involves disrupting the status quo -- and being comfortable with that at all levels of leadership. Technologies can sometimes be forced upon by leadership and management, creating resistance across the ranks, leaving organizations to struggle should friction arise.
Shareholders and investors must be made to understand and appreciate these changes and the process that goes into shifting to digital. GE attempted to build an ambitious IoT platform called Predix several years ago--the platform was intended to generate software sales for the company. While there were gains internally, the effort eventually fell short of expectations. GE's stock fell flat and the company started selling off its digital assets in 2018. Point being, the implications are very real, and even shareholders and investors need to be 'in the digital loop'.
3. Employees: stop going rogue
Did you know that as much as 80 percent of employees use non-approved applications at work? Unauthorized applications may be security risks that could threaten the integrity of the entire network.
Efforts must be made by leaders to be on top of all digital activities within their organizations. Measures must be put in place to allow for the audit and review of all applications in use. This way, the company's IT can be streamlined. This way, companies could carefully experiment before adopting them wholesale. Many employees embrace this 'hyper agility' to try a new product and service without understanding how just one vulnerability could impact a company's digital trajectory and adoption.
Don't go rogue--if you do, you're part of the problem.
There's light at the end of the adoption tunnel
Digital adoption sure has its challenges. But rather than getting caught up in these potential barriers, enterprises must focus on overcoming them to reap the positives that digital adoption brings. They have to be driven by strategy and be focused on building streamlined infrastructures to support their endeavors. Combined with a well-trained and motivated workforce, these actions greatly increase their chances of successfully leveraging these new technologies to their advantage.

Well, this is the 2nd of three posts on the Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk. As I mentioned on the earlier post, I was not really feeling very motivated in the morning, and getting into the gardens late didn't help either. Now, I'm no photographer... I've had no training, and owe more of my style to using a point&shoot than a DSLR... but I enjoy taking photos. At least normally. However I can say that today there was definitely a lack of fire in the belly, and no matter how I tried to pump myself up, I felt a distinct lack of creative energy. And when the juice has dried up, it can be very disappointing to know that your photos are going to be lacking. Still, even in a funk, you can enjoy some photos... which is pretty well the set that I'm putting up here. For 2 hours of walking, I got perhaps about 40-50 shots that I was halfway satisfied with, but only about 5-10 shots that made me feel happy.
I wonder if you can tell which of the photos I particularly liked from the set (with one post still to go)... often times it's not the photos that get the most +1s or comments.
