Fomenting Feedback
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Top performing teams continuously evolve, and delivering and processing feedback is a crucial part of this process. Here are some key tips for getting the most out of the end-of-year meetings with team members:
Be specific. Amorphous praise or correction is of little value to the person on the receiving end. A compliment like "Great job" carries much more weight—and feels more authentic—when accompanied by specifics. Why was it a great job? What made it noteworthy? Was it the timeliness, accuracy or creativity of the work, or was it something else? If the feedback to be delivered is a criticism, be specific about what could have been better so adjustments can be made. The idea is to paint a picture of what excellent work looks like so that employees have a concrete idea of what constitutes good work on their particular team.
Encourage better-than-competent work. Competent workers typically receive the least amount of useful feedback and present the greatest challenge at performance-review time. It is natural for team leaders to devote maximum energy to fixing their biggest problems. But consider putting similar effort into telling good employees how they can be great. Again, be specific. Generate one meaningful piece of actionable, developmental feedback, then engage the competent employee with questions: What are your concerns regarding this feedback? What does successful development in this area look like to you? What is your very next step using this feedback? When would you like to meet again to discuss your progress? This technique can send the message that "Competent is not enough," while inspiring employees to greater self-awareness and ownership of their career development.
Invite feedback. One of the best ways to get feedback from your team is to make it one of their job responsibilities. This works best in an environment in which feedback, both positive and negative, is welcomed and results in action. It also requires a leader who will show appreciation when constructive feedback is delivered.
Commit to micro-feedback throughout the year. Yearend feedback is like going to the dentist for a cleaning; micro feedback is like brushing your teeth. If micro-feedback is done correctly, the retrospective feedback meetings are a breeze. One example of micro-feedback: complimenting, with specificity, a job well done at the moment the job is completed. This reinforces expectations and encourages similar good work. When this sort of feedback is given in a group setting, it paints a vivid picture of desired behaviors to multiple members of the team.
As we look towards a new year, consider committing to a culture rich in two-way feedback. Incorporating specific and ongoing conversations on your team will lead to improved collective performance.

Where in the world did this week go??! I have more rug pictures to show you.
On the last day, everyone displays their works in progress out on the patio. It's great to see what everyone has done all week. Everyone leaves so inspired after admiring each other's work.
They really accomplished a lot. Some people worked on two rugs.
We had a little girl come in and watch us. One of the students showed her how to hook and let her pull up some loops on her rug. She did a great job! Her mom said she loves to draw. I told her how to transfer one of her drawings to rug backing so she could hook it.
Children's drawings make such great rugs. They're always so proud to see their drawing hooked into a rug.
It's not difficult to draw a rug. As you can see, they're black line drawings like a coloring book. I like to draw the pattern on paper and then lay nylon organdy over the drawing. You can use a pencil to trace over your paper drawing. Next, place the nylon organdy on top of the foundation you're going to use for your hooked piece (burlap, linen, monk's cloth). Take a Sharpie permanent marker and trace over the pencil lines on the nylon organdy. Go slowly and the ink will seep through the organdy onto the foundation. Remember to leave at least 4-6 inches extra all around your pattern.
Tuesday, I had a day full of appointments and ended up near Interstate 85. I headed up to Richmond - dropping soap orders along the way.
I went to The Yarn Lounge on West Cary Street in Richmond. Stewart and Melanie had lots of new things in. I got the new copy of Rowan and some other goodies. Look at this organic - all plant dyed - yarn they have received. Such pretty colors.
Next, I headed to Knit Night! I love this group and miss everyone so when I'm not able to go. It's such a distance that I can only make it up maybe once a month. There were two new gals there. They are so lucky to be able to attend EVERY Tuesday night!
We always such a great time! There was lots of show and tell. Linda was working on these really cool entrelac wash cloths.
Barbara was working on this wisp of a wrap! It was just gorgeous!
Jane was working on this wonderfully textured sweater shown on the cover of a recent Vogue Knitting magazine.
Me??? I was still working on that sock! I'm on my 4th attempt to get that toe the right length. I've never had this problem before so I'm not sure why I'm having such a time with this. Oh well! Try, try again!
Wednesday, I had errands to run before heading home. One of those errands took me to Lettuce Knit in Richmond. As you can see by the picture, the "girls" met me at the door. I had to get my yarn for the Iris Schrier workshop that I'm signed up for with the River City Knitters in September.
I'm off to the beach next week so need to start planning how many knitting projects I'm going to take with me. I always take more than I could get done in a year! Hey! A girl has to have choices! Hope I have room in the car!

Part 1:How foreign employment income tax will impact South African expats
Part 2: Understanding Financial Emigration and foreign employment income tax
Financial Emigration (FE) is indeed advisable for true emigrants, not intending to return to SA. Persons forced to return to SA or persons most likely to return to SA at the end of their work permit stay, should think twice before they allow a service provider to convince SARB they qualify as Excon emigrant.
Using FE application date to trigger tax emigration, is indeed extremely risky. An expat living in Dubai, claiming tax emigration in 2019 calendar year (the tax year 2020 or 2019) confirms they are tax non-resident because of the UAE tax treaty rules. Nothing wrong with that, yet the treaty has been in place and effective since 23 November 2016.
Should the FE applicant have been in the UAE on 23 November 2016, and now avail to the USA tax residency certificate, they are indeed admitting they may have tax emigrated on 22 November 2016. The section 9H (in its current format) exit tax charge, dates to 15 June 2015.
On 23 November 2016, as the UAE treaty became effective, many SA expats technically tax emigrated on the day before them becoming exclusive tax resident in the USA (because of the treaty). Filing tax emigration to align with the FE exit day, is most probably an incorrect and fraudulent tax position to take.
Having failed to inform SARS of the correct tax exit date, based on the physical exit date applied to the treaty tie-breaker rules, may result in an understatement tax penalty.
The physical exit date is normally disclosed on the FE application form (MP 336(b) and a copy are filed with SARS). Should SARS later decide to audit or verify the tax exit date or final tax return filed following the approval of the tax emigration clearance certificate [TEC], one may not claim the benefit of tax prescription (reading tax certainty).
It follows that, because of the incorrect and incomplete tax disclosure, SARS is not bound by the three-year prescription rule, i.e. they can issue new assessments after say five years.
The SARB FinSurv [Excon] approved FE, does not change your tax status.
Only the SA Income Tax Act (ITA) may be used to determine tax emigration status, yet in certain instances, the resident definition in ITA section 1, allows treaty country residents, to be tax non-resident.
Reading the tie-breaker rules or applying said rules may not be adequate. The definition of a resident in the treaty overrides the ITA definition with the result that expat in Dubai may be tax non-resident while on a work permit only, whereas an Australian expat on a work permit will remain SA tax resident.
The Australian treaty [DTA] excludes from the word resident, any person paying tax in Australia, on Australian sourced income only. The UAE DTA does not contain this similar restriction, most probably because the UAE does not levy any income tax on natural persons.
In Australia, a resident pay tax on worldwide income as of the date they qualify or is granted permanent residence status. Expats in Australia, availing to a work permit only, does not pay ATO taxes on worldwide income. The SA/ Australian DTA excludes from the term resident, an expat on a work permit only (because the ATO only tax work permit residents on source income only). Therefore SA expat can't claim tax emigration status.
In Conclusion
Expats living outside SA must first ask the following questions before they agree to financially emigrate:
- Can I avail to tax treaties and tax emigrate, as this is not subject to financial emigration? If yes, on what date was the tax exit? If it was in the past (for UAE could have been 22 November 2016), should I file for SARS availing to the Voluntary Disclosure Options to back date the process?
- Can I claim tax credits in SA, as I have paid the necessary tax in the country of employment? It could be that your employer is paying on your behalf, do ask the HR department.
- If you are not in a treaty country, can I tax emigrate based on facts and intention?
- Could the FE option be part of the building blocks to show
intentionto exit? If so, was the tax exit date this year or sometime in the future?
Why should I complete the Financial Emigration process? Here is some reasons:
- To cash out a retirement annuity
- To be able to re-invest into SA via my for offshore trust or non-SA company to ensure I am not exposed to SA estate duty
- To exit large funds (more than R20m per family) sourced from past savings or huge inheritance?
- Why is the service providers placing so much emphasis on FE, insisting I incur the huge costs?
- Should I not obtain a formal tax opinion from a person not selling FE to one and all, but only to persons that could show a clear benefit?
The final installment of a 3-part series on the limitation of foreign employment income exemption.

When you go to a new car dealer in California and plunk down your money toward the car of your dreams, you should also consider the cost of insurance in your budget. The price of a new car these days can really put a strain on a person's finances, and if you are financing or leasing that car, you may be saddled with high monthly payments for years to come.
Any time you lease or finance a new car, the lender will require you to carry full insurance on that vehicle. While California car insurance laws only require you to carry a small amount of bodily injury and property damage liability insurance to protect the interests of others, you might injure someone in an accident, and lenders require you to carry sufficient insurance to cover their interests.
A bank or other lending institution that provides financing or a leasing company that leases a vehicle to you has a financial interest in that vehicle until the terms of the financing or lease agreement come to an end. In addition to the mandatory liability coverage California auto insurance requires you to maintain, you must also maintain full comprehensive and collision insurance until the car is either paid off or the lease ends and you return the vehicle.
Collision will cover the value of the vehicle should it be damaged or destroyed in an accident while comprehensive covers property damage caused by forces outside of an actual crash or accident. Some areas covered by comprehensive include theft, vandalism or damage from severe weather.
While the cost of California auto insurance coverage that includes collision and comprehensive may go up by several hundred dollars, the amount added to your premium will also depend on the size of your deductible. Most lenders will require you to have a fairly low deductible, such as $250 or $500, which will cause your premium to be a little higher than if you had a $2,000 deductible.
The important thing to remember about insurance requirements when financing or leasing a vehicle is that you will need to buy more than the minimum amount of California auto insurance mandated by state law to protect the interests of the lender.

Arriving bright and early bearing a supply of energy drinks, snacks and supplies, and (in some cases questionable) outfit choices, our team was faced with the unenviable task of tackling the 'Intrepid' course – five miles through the forest and 20 obstacles. The fact that, on arrival, we were told the course 'was actually six miles' set the tone.
And then we were off… and then we stopped again, as queues for the first obstacle gave a well deserved rest some 100 yards form the start line. Things soon got moving, however, and what followed was two hours of climbing, crawling, running up hills, running down hills, bruises, knocks and wet posteriors. Fortunately for us the organisers saved the best for last. Just before the finish line was a sea of mud – complete with army-style crawling tunnel and a final energy sapping climb before the finish line. Luckily our team was built of stronger stuff, crossing the finish line in style/carrying each other over.
What a day and what a challenge. The fact that we were mud-soaked and cold didn't matter as we'd raised £540, which is set to be doubled by Archant, for the charity. Were we tempted to pay them cash in the hope they'd come and check us over? Yes. Would we do it again? Yes!

Broken Vessel
I ran as fast as my feet could carry me. I kept running amidst tears because I knew I needed to run as fast as my feet would carry me. I did not know how far my strength would carry me, nor did I realize when I will have belly cramps, but, what urged me on was the need to run from those heartless people, far from those animals in human clothing, far from those liars in the robes of reverends.
Then, I fell and that was the point! The point my feet became to weak to carry me, my body too weak to press further and my face too weak to release the tears fighting its way out of my eyes. Just then, I began to grasp for breath, the breath to move on or even press further. The struggle became intense, with all things around me speaking of my very end, breaking forth the tears that has been fighting its way out. I decided to rest and I knew my giving up was closer than I envisaged as I released my body to the ground. I didn't know it was a pathway to unrest as those thoughts began coming in flashes to my head. I struggled to overcome them but the power it carried overshadowed me and reluctantly gave in to the thoughts. Yes those memories!
The memories of how they made promises with radiant smiles on their faces, the memories of how I thought they would stand by me through it all. The memories of how I thought they were pillars I could lean on.
Oh! How could I have been so blind to the fact that they are stings hidden in beautiful robes. How could I have been blind not to see beyond their innocent faces. Now, I am left alone to face the agony of destruction and lurk around the overpowering nature of darkness. Yet, those who are meant to stand by me are nowhere to be found, those who are meant to speak for me are lost in the wilderness of vanity and those who are meant to stay by me are lost entangled in the web of inevitable evil.
Finally, I thought I had gained my strength and tried to stand, but I found out I was stuck. I began to fight for my freedom, until I lost hope and now, I am a subject of stagnancy. I am without help and although some have promised me, I know how long I will wait for that person is rhetorical.
I am that destitute!
I am that dejected land!
I am that atmosphere of pain!
I am that aura of sorrow!
I am that who needs to gather its strength for survival!
I am NIGERIA!!!
I need answers!!!

Risk the Mother of All Bad Deals
Our second principle at Richucation is rich people love great deals, they love to be able to buy things for less than those things are worth. There are many factors in this process such as knowing your true costs (a good friend once remarked it's worth it to pay $200 for a shirt you like because the real cost isn't the shirt, it's your time to find one that's perfect for you and you'll spend more money in time trying to find a better deal or find another you love for a great price than you will save), knowing the accurate value of what you're buying, etc. but ultimately we return to this as a foundational principle and our first lesson to new students. Rarely accounted for though is the cost of risk and how risk undermines good deals.
Mark Cuban, the billionaire owner of the Dallas Mavericks, once remarked on his blog that the score comes not from what you extract from any single deal but what you end up with overall. Put another way it doesn't matter how an athlete performs in a single game, it is their average over time, the aggregate results. Most successful companies lose money on various transactions throughout the year but in the aggregate those transactions are covered off by the profitable ones. The key is knowing those numbers to ensure the winners more than cover the losers and then improving the statistics.
Nowhere is this more true or the dangers more insidious than when considering risk.
Risk is not a particularly popular word with entrepreneurs, by nature entrepreneurs tend to be optimistic, they also tend to as a group overlook failures and focus on successes and psychologically this approach has merit. In terms of creating success you've got to look at the failures and the failure rates.
Let's start by defining risk. In this case risk is the probability of failure and its related cost. It is most insidious because you don't see it in the short term, it only shows up in the long term so you can have what appear to be great successes that ultimately turn out to be great failures.
Consider the example of the exempt market investment products industry. Walk into in local investment office and ask them about their available products and they'll tell you all about the MICs, the real estate development LPs, and many more. They'll frequently pitch returns ranging from 8% to 25% per year. Consider yourself warned, Warren Buffett averages 20%/yr. over a long period, if you think these guys can get you a 25%/yr. return in the aggregate (meaning not by getting lucky during a small cross section of the cycle but when averaged across the whole cycle and repeated cycles) you're probably deceiving yourself. Are 25+% returns possible? Yes, definitely, especially in small deals in limited timeframes by very skillful experts. Buffett has actually remarked that he could get 50% on $1 million because the dynamics are different. However, keep in mind that in order to return you 25% the company really needs to be earning probably 35% – 40% because they have to pay all their expenses plus etch out a profit. Let me be clear, no one truly offers consistent long term returns of 25+%. The only people who get that are people who are managing their own money often in their own business and other factors weigh in, you should probably be running from promises such as those. But what about the lower end, a 10% return. This is very respectable and certainly attainable so you can accept those numbers right? Not really. Those in the exempt market industry are fond of harping against the mainstream investment industry pushing mutual funds and GICs. They talk of beating the market through the exempt market but the truth isn't nearly so glamorous because the general market accounts for risk in its figures the exempt market does not.
When your mutual fund advisor tells you about the 5%/yr. returns a particular fund has averaged over the last 20 years that's after accounting for all the ups and downs of those decades. It might have been 15% one year and -15% another year but after all was said and done they managed to scrape together a 5%/yr. return. When your exempt market dealer tells you about the 8%/yr. you'll be getting that's not an aggregate of results, that's a promise made without security. In other words there probably are some that will pay 8%/yr. just like a couple stocks in that bundle within the mutual fund will actually earn a 15%/yr. return. The problem is people, including investment advisors and portfolio managers, are notoriously bad at picking those companies so to protect you from the risk they buy dozens and work the averages. You can do the same thing within the exempt market but you've got to realize that's how you'll see your real returns and it won't be pretty. Of those 8%/yr. companies you might actually have a couple that lose all your money, a couple where you lose 20% of your money, a couple might actually pay 5%/yr. and a couple might even pay the full 8%/yr. The problem is for you to pick, for your investment advisor to pick, for you to be able to bank on it is extremely unlikely. Thus, you have to when you're making your investments look at the probability of failure and account for those probabilities.
A simple example, if you've got a 20% projected rate of return with a 20% chance of complete loss (btw the chances of complete loss in the exempt market are very high, there's rarely any cases where investors recoup only a portion of their money, they tend to get returns or lose it all) then what's your real rate of return? The real rate of return in the aggregate is actually 0%, meaning if you invest several times these will average out to a 0% rate of return. You might get lucky and hit a winner without a loser; then again you might get unlucky and hit some losers without any winners (they tend to clump together because they tend to be based on the current stage of the market cycle). Bottom line you need to be able to do the numbers and make decisions based on the probabilities not based on the projections or promises of advisors and sales people.
The same principle applies in business since all business is an investment. A real example, I had a company where we'd run promotions with heavy advertising and at the end of the promotion period we'd calculate how we did when accounting for all the advertising expenses, cost of goods sold, wages, commissions, merchant processing, etc. We'd look at the numbers, see we were pulling in a healthy profit and act accordingly run regular promotions to get the volume high enough to surpass breakeven. At first, all looked good but there was a critical error in the calculations…the defect rate. Not that often, but often enough we'd have a defective product that would need to be replaced. When I'd become involved in the company I'd added warranty upsells so that helped to cover some of the cost and at first blush we'd figured it was no big deal because our margins were so strong, about 75% gross margins we had plenty of room to replace a few defective products and the high level of customer service we offered was good for business.
What was the problem? First, we didn't know the defect rates or account for them conservatively in our numbers so we'd walk away from a weekend seeing a $12 000 profit and in the short term that was true, in the long term it was not. It got worse though, when we looked at the costs we were thinking in terms of a 25% cost, if we say had a 25% defect rate at a 25% cost we just needed to add an additional 6.25% to each product sold to account for these losses. But what of the real costs? We needed to pay staff to take the phone calls, to handle customer RMA requests. We needed to pay for return shipping of the defective unit as well as shipping to the client of the replacement unit often times those shipping costs could exceed our cost on the product to begin with. Even all those might have been tolerable but in many cases we were selling through a third party and we were hit with refunds. Now in the case of refunds we needed to refund their full money, but we'd still incurred the shipping costs, we still incurred the staff costs to handle it all, and we now had an opened or defective unit we couldn't easily resell. In such cases it was a pure loss that needed to be accounted for.
The bottom line is these sorts of considerations exist in any business and you need to count the aggregate, the long term and the large numbers, not any one instance or sale and you need to turn that into a profit or the business model isn't sustainable and scalable.

July 29, 2016 Cambridge, Ohio
Last SaturdayI had the chance to teach a basic church security class to a newly formed safety team in SE Ohio. The night before I met with the team leader and we discussed the teams efforts to date. About half way through the facility tour and discussion, Gary advised that they had an incident recently where two men of "mid-eastern appearence" had arrived just before the start of service and seated themselves in the rear of the church. They did not seem very interested in the service but were very interested in the facility layout and how the service was conducted.
The actions of the pair did raise concerns and two of the team members stayed very close to the visitors. Towards the end of the service the men were asked if they had any questions. The men had no questions or comments and left shortly after the service ended. The pair has not been seen since, but the event has raised the awareness of the church safety team. We had a number of discussions and created food for thought as we "what iff'ed" the event.
A similar incident in the Dayton region – July 24, 2016
This past Monday I received calls from members of several local churches about a similar event that happened in Kettering. Three similar men were seen at a Catholic church when they entered during a mass. The ushers were somewhat concerned and watched as the two of them were seated and started taking movies and videos. The ushers were concerned and called the local police to advise of the situation. Officers arrived and the pair in the sanctuary was discretely called out of the mass. The officers interviewed the pair; the third person was nowhere to be found. They stated here from Saudia Arabia for the past 5 days. They would only be here a month. They were told them no more videos yet they could stay for the service. Suspicious activities continued. The police were very suspicious. Two vehicles with plates never seen before were found in the parking lot.
Later in the week the story hit the local news and the incident was raging through the local community as the word was spread amount churches.
Considering the attack at the Catholic Church in France, it is time to raise the alert level at all of our churches. Please consider paying close attention to the people coming through the doors. Lock the doors after the start of services; this also encourages the members to arrive on time.
It is time to gather with the team and discuss what to do, based on the following potential incidents:
Person with a weapon, knife, gun or bomb enters the foyer or sanctuary.
A jihadist team attacks the church
A bomb threat is called in during services
How do you notify the team of a critical incident?
Radios, pagers, etc
Codes or plain English
Who responds and can the event be a diversion for other evil people?
Have you alerted the local law enforcement about the existence of your team?
Lots to think about, I will have more thoughts available for you soon.
Let's keep sharp out there.

Tsongas Recaps Obama Presidency
Jan 25, 2017 12:36PM
By Theresa Gilman
Niki Tsongas
(Editor's Note: the following information was submitted by the office of Congresswoman Niki Tsongas.)When President Barack Obama entered the White House he immediately faced a staggering slate of national challenges. Throughout the ensuing eight years, the Obama Administration did not shrink from those challenges but instead, rose to meet them. Today, as President Obama has left the office, one central theme of his Administration stands out: thoughtful and concerted action is what moves America forward.
President Obama was able to enact significant policy changes and spark societal shifts that will continue to impact Americans for generations to come.
In 2008, America was enduring the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. The unemployment rate was on the rise, the deficit was growing daily and families were losing their homes to bank foreclosures. The health care system was burdening families across the country and we recognized more and more the damaging signs of an ever changing global climate.
Thanks to historic legislation and initiatives championed by the Obama Administration and Democrats in Congress, the slide was halted and our economy started back on an upward trajectory. Today, the deficit is down by a trillion dollars; businesses have added 15.6 million private-sector jobs in the past 81 months for the longest streak of job growth in our nation's history; the auto-industry has rebounded; much needed Wall Street reform through Dodd-Frank has brought security and protections to consumers across the nation; and the unemployment rate is at 4.6%, a nine year low.
With the enactment of the Affordable Care Act, we made essential reforms to our healthcare system that has slowed the growth of health care costs and brought health coverage to 20 million previously uninsured Americans. But the ACA also benefits and reassures us all, not just those 20 million previously uninsured people. Young people can remain on a parent's health insurance until the age of 26 and individuals cannot be denied coverage because of preexisting conditions.
Fully reforming the health care system was and remains a monumental task, which is why I have always believed targeted, common sense modifications should be made to the ACA. But the GOP's plan to repeal the legislation without a viable alternative will leave millions of Americans in health care limbo, while stripping away critical protections we all rely on. Because of President Obama's commitment to reforming health care, there is a solid foundation on which to build, and tossing it all aside would not only be unwise but irresponsible.
During his tenure, President Obama embraced our generational responsibility to act on climate change. As he repeatedly emphasized, climate change is a very real crisis that requires American leadership. And lead he did. The Obama Administration decreased our reliance on foreign oil and doubled our production of clean energy. His Clean Power Plan showcased how green initiatives support our environmental and economic future and during his tenure more than 200 nations came together around a climate agreement that could save this planet for our children. And as the Top Democrat on the Federal Lands Subcommittee, I saw firsthand how the President and his Administration fought tirelessly for some of our country's most important conservation tools. I was honored to have the President's Interior Secretary Sally Jewell visit the Third District to help me champion the crucial Land and Water Conservation Fund, which was ultimately reauthorized last year.
An unrelenting defender of equality, President Obama demonstrated a clear and unwavering commitment to equal rights and human dignity. The first bill he signed into law was the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, restoring basic protections against pay discrimination for women. He doubled the number of women appointed to the Supreme Court and opened all military jobs, including combat roles, to women, enabling female soldiers to pursue the same opportunities and benefits as their male counterparts.
Under the Obama Administration we saw historic progress on LGBT rights and marriage equality. In 2010, he signed into law the legislation that officially ended the military's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy, a proud moment in particular for the district I represent. His Administration refused to support the Defense of Marriage Act, which was ruled unconstitutional in 2013 by the Supreme Court, paving the way for marriage equality and a reaffirmation of basic American rights and freedoms.
President Obama secured lasting achievements but we still have more work to do toprotect the economic and national security of our people; reduce our deficit; safeguard our planet; reform our tax code; fix our immigration system; keep our communities safe; fight for equality for all; maintain the solvency of Medicare and Social Security; expand access to affordable health care and more.
President Obama moved America forward by taking action on some of the most pressing challenges facing our nation. He and his family leave the White House with a legacy of dignity, persistence and significant progress – and leave America on a path lined with extraordinary potential.
On behalf of the Third District of Massachusetts, I thank the President for his service to America and wish the Obama family well in their future endeavors.

Scientists have gotten pretty good, over the past few decades, at splicing in beneficial genes to crops.
By using techniques like CRISPR gene editing, agricultural scientists can create GMO crops for all kinds of scenarios: sure, mostly enhanced yield or resistance to pesticides, but also the capability of surviving in drought or higher temperatures or poor soil. That process, though, takes time: according to the Morgridge Institute for Research, the process is extremely expensive and can take more than a decade.
That's just not fast enough to cope with a rapidly changing planet, with diseases that can drift and take hold within days. So researchers at the John Innes Centre, a British plant science facility, came up with what they're calling AgRenSeq. (The name is a combination of association genetics and R gene enrichment sequencing; if any of that makes sense to you, or if you want it to, you can read the full study here.)
It is, as Popular Science calls it, a sort of "goggle" for wild varieties of crops, with wheat being the tested crop. Essentially, it provides a large searchable database of similar wild crops, allowing scientists to quickly find the section of the genome they want to sequence, and then sequence only that section. So if you want to solve a problem of, say, a particular fungal disease in wheat, you could find a variety of wild wheat that seems immune from that disease. Then you'd search the database to figure out what part of the wheat genome usually deals with resistance to fungal disease, and then sequence your fungus-proof wild wheat—but just that part.
The researchers say it could dramatically reduce both the time and the cost of genetic engineering, from a decade or more to only months, and from millions of dollars to thousands. The process could, if it proves effective—this is just a proof of concept—make it much, much easier for scientists to cope with new diseases, new pests, and new problems.

Green Day Nimrod, 1997
I am sure there's more than one person who clicked on this thinking, "Not Dookie?? What can he possibly be thinking?" And to those people I will say, Dookie is a fantastic album. It changed the face of music in basically the same way Nevermind did 3 years before it.
But Nimrod takes everything that was good on Dookie combines it with everything that was good on Insomniac and then takes that combination and somehow makes it even better.
It's the most eclectic Green Day album by a mile and I think Green Day is better when they mix it up. One of the problems I've had with post-American Idiot Green Day has been that all the songs sound VERY similar. Sure, there are exceptions. And those exceptions are the singles. And that is never a good thing. In my book, your single shouldn't be the best song on the album. It can be ONE of the best, but it should never leave the rest of the album in the dust.
The songs on Nimrod are their own little worlds, but they somehow contribute to the whole in a very positive way. I'm not sure I could listen to just one song from this album even if I tried really really hard.
Green Day is a band of peaks and valleys, I've found. Dookie was a peak. American Idiot was a peak. But Nimrod is the band at their best. It's no wonder their next album, Warning, took such a long time for me to get into. It was a left turn from this fantastic album, and EVENTUALLY an album that I very much enjoy. But it almost feels like an album from a Green Day side project.
It blows my mind to think that "Platypus (I Hate You)" and "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" are on the same album. And that they both WORK. I think we've reached a point where no one hates Green Day for "going acoustic" anymore and I am so glad because putting a reflective acoustic song on an album that also contains "Take Back" is a punk move. It's an almost undeniable fact.
Get this album. Listen to it. Then listen to it again. It's a masterpiece and that's not really a word I throw around lightly.
Green Day - Worry Rock
Green Day - Reject
Green Day - Scattered
You can buy Nimrod at Amazon, Amazon MP3, and iTunes

Sorry to hear about your job thing RR. Good luck.
by JesseHillFan on 6/12/2012 @ 5:51am
|Sorry too to hear about this.By the way I don't know of your particular financial situation but I do know that if one gets in a more drastic circumstance to consider also applying for state food benefits (EBT) for all in your family.To let you know I have been in a similar circumstance before about 15 years ago and with some hardship eventually payed off my mortgage though it became close at times and I had to cut out any frivolous expenditures like Cable TV.Don't overlook the food banks if you have to too (you will see a strange thing there with some greedy people in luxury cars wrongfully taking advantage of this meant really for the starving)
by fredo on 6/12/2012 @ 5:58am
|How do you know if the people driving the fancy cars to the food bank aren't driving somebody else over there just to be helpful?
by JesseHillFan on 6/12/2012 @ 6:10am
|I know of a family personally that has a huge income with expensive motor vehicles that takes unfair advantage of the food banks.They live and eat like kings.

|You know somebody who drives an expensive vehicle and takes advantage of the food bank.
Therefore, if you see anyone in an expensive vehicle at the food bank that means they are taking advantage of the food bank.
Ha, nice illogical argument.

|nice note from my step-mom...
Hi Ryan,
We are so sorry to hear about your job. I was out of town for awhile, and your Dad doesn't check Facebook, so he didn't know about your unemployment issue until I got home. We know unemployment isn't fun, I don't know if you remember but your Dad was unemployed several times because the mine would shut down for awhile. You are so well known in Tacoma, and have so much talent both in the art and wit departments that we think you won't be unemployed for long! Good luck in the job hunting, but enjoy this time if you can. You have more time with your family, more time to create, more time to garden, there are pluses in your situation, but I know that it can be pretty scary as well.
We love you!
Dad and Delores

by JesseHillFan on 6/14/2012 @ 12:05am
|I've had a big loss (my best friend/family) a few day's ago.It's was my beloved pet cat who just died in the next room.Think that it was a stroke/heart attack.I heard a thump as though he fell on the carpet.Heard 2 loud moans and saw him in the room.He was paralyzed couldn't even move his eyes but still breathed two times then stopped.I petted his head and told him how much I loved him and cried.A painful shock though and I didn't sleep very much that night.I'm still upset about losing him though the pain is subsiding.
He was not quite 12 years old.Dad and mom got me this cat back in August 2000.When dad passed away in 2004 and I was in mourning/crying, the cat comforted me and slept on top of me the first time.
Before then he was never close to me and got angry when I got my face too close to his.After losing dad the cat (Roo) would always rub his cheek against mine,lick my right ear and snuggle laying his head against mine.Yes he became very close to me after 2004 and even became upset when I left home.I buried him outside by the front porch so when I take a nap on the couch he is never more than 6 feet from me.
He had some annoying habits though like stepping on my computer keyboard and not letting me see the monitor.Then again he had some good habits too like waking me up in the morning.Still I loved him very deeply as family.He died just one day before I was going to shop for a months supply of food for him and give him his monthly special treat (Fred Meyer BBQ'd chicken).He knew what I meant when I would tell him that I was buying Fred Meyer BBQ's chicken for him.Too bad that he didn't live the next day to get his treat though I saved money on not buying his regular food..I am thinking about getting a replacement cat just exactly like him but have decided to wait till say mid August when most of the 4th of July Fireworks have gone as I don't want a poor kitten terrorized by them.Roo although a black cat had white fur underneath him.It was strange,when he became wet (like giving him a shower (rare) when he had a flea problem) his fur coat looked mostly white.

|RE: Post by Peter Callaghan/ The News Tribune on Dec. 23, 2012 at 10:30 am
Q: Political cartoonists tend to have a certain set of politics. What are yours?
A: I'd say I am Chaotic Neutral. But I think pro-Socialist cartoons and ultra-left wing radical cartooning had suffered atrophy for awhile so I'm trying to do that kind of angle. You have all the crazy right-wing cartoonists. There's not very many crazy left-wing cartoonists. I think it's a nice release because its showing something they would never see in the Tacoma Weekly or the News Tribune or any other of the really lame political cartoons that every newspaper in America subscribes through syndication services. I try to do hyper-local so no one outside of Tacoma would care about this….it's a celebration of the weirdo political people.
Q: Have you ever done a cartoon, and put it out there, that you regretted?
A: Yeah, but not because of political reasons. More like quality, more like 'that drawing sucked. I really hate that. In my books I have a chapter, the worst comics and I put all the ones I hate.
Q: But not because, 'that was too mean?'
A: No, never too mean. Sometimes I'll feel bad because I got it wrong, because more details came out. But I have no problem saying that was wrong and here's an updated one.
Taking a neutral stand on issues is characteristic of most politicians, especially in an election race. Stating a position for or against an issue may risk offending someone or some group. In that sense, politics is like show business. Politicians appear honest, or informed, or concerned with justice for all; but in reality we can't know anything about such people until we witness their actions over the course of time.
Newspaper editors tend to put forth an integrated, consistent point of view. I've seen political cartoons in The Tacoma Weekly that are plainly biased toward policies that degrade venerable institutions (see Friday, November 2, 2012 cartoon by Chris Britt). That particular anti-intellectual cartoon says more about the cartoonist and the newspaper editor than it says about any kind of political reality.
It's probably closer to the truth to say that politicians, cartoonists, and newspaper editors (educated or ignorant) are striving to act like entertainers for a preconditioned audience that wants easy answers to complicated issues. It all amounts to diversion, a sleight of hand to distract people from getting seriously concerned about potentially detrimental policies.
But I think Callaghan's pointed question to you about your worldview was best answered by you after his other question regarding your evaluation of your Tacomics catalog--When you stated that when a cartoon seemed to lack adequate details: "I have no problem saying that was wrong and here's an updated one."

10 March 2018
Sony announces the flagship XZ2 smartphone at the MWC 2018. Finally, the device goes official after tons of leaks and rumors in past few weeks. The Xperia XZ2 is the company's first flagship smartphone of the year with the Qualcomm's Snapdragon 845 SoC. The XZ2 is featuring a 5.7-inches IPS LCD display with 2:1 aspect ratio, its an HDR display with the best experience while watching movies thanks to the company's new dynamic vibration system. The new vibration system turns audio signal into vibration which provides an amazing experience while watching videos and playing games. Sony claims the Xperia XZ2 is a top-notch entertainment device.
The XZ2 is featuring a metal design with a fluid 3D liquid surface. It is much overhauled from the company's traditional OmniBalance design. Under the hood the Qualcomm's Snapdragon 845 SoC is powering the device with 4GB RAM and built-in native storage is 64GB and it is further expandable using MicroSD card. For connectivity, it comes with USB-C port and Bluetooth 5.0. The XZ2 dimensions are 153 x 72 x 11.1 mm and it weighs 198g. Like most of the latest smartphones, it is IP65/68 certified. It will be available in single and dual-SIM variants.
A 3,180mAh battery cell is on board to keep its lights on. As rumored earlier the device supports wireless charging but the wireless charging dock WCH20 will be sold separately as an accessory. The fingerprint scanner is on the rear side below the camera module. As OS the Android Oreo is pre-installed straight out of the box. The rear side is adorned with a single 19MP camera with /2.0 aperture. It is capable to capture slow-motion Full HD videos at 960 frames per second. The camera brings Autofocus burst and X8 digital zoom without affecting the image quality. Up front, the selfie-camera is 5MP with f/2.2 aperture.
The rear and front camera of both the devices comes with 3D creator tech which allows users to turn their selfies into 3D pictures which can be posted on social media sites. As far as availability is a concern, the XZ2 will be released in four striking colors Liquid Black, Deep Green, Ash Pink and Liquid Silver from March 2018.

Apart from the larger flagship the company also announced its compact sibling the XZ2 Compact. As the name suggests it is the compact variant of the latest flagship but the good thing is the compact variant doesn't have toned down specs. The XZ2 Compact will surely attract buyers looking for a solid compact flagship smartphone.
The Xperia XZ2 Compact comes with a 5.0-inches IPS LCD display with 2:1 aspect ratio. The display is protected by the Corning Gorilla Glass 5. Its good to see Sony finally jumped to 2:1 display bandwagon with the latest XZ2 series, however, the company is yet not ready to leave thick bezels of their traditional OmniBalance design. The XZ2 dimensions are 135 x 65x 12.1mm and it is quite lighter than its smaller sibling at 168g only.
Apart from the smaller display, the device features a smaller battery cell of 2,870mAh. It comes with Sony smart Stamina system for better battery life. The XZ2 Compact will be available from March 2018 in Coral Pink, White Silver, Moss Green and Black colors.
In the end, we would like to hear our readers thoughts regarding the latest Sony smartphones in the comments section below. Stay tuned for our MWC 2018 coverage.
