The world is a much smaller place than it used to be. Launching an online company and selling to millions of customers across the world is now easier than ever. However, many entrepreneurs underestimate the need for a crucial skill that will make them more competitive on a global scale – languages.
In a Reddit AMA, Bill Gates admitted that he "felt stupid" for not understanding any foreign languages. Meanwhile, globally minded entrepreneurs like Mark Zuckerberg and Michael Bloomberg are multilingual.
As a business leader competing on a global stage, understanding a few foreign languages could be vital for success. Here are the top five foreign languages most entrepreneurs should try to learn:
1. German
It's never been easy to learn German, but it is an essential language to master if you conduct business in Europe. Not only is Germany one of the largest economies in the world and a systemically important part of the European Union, but the language is spoken by hundreds of millions of people across the globe. It is the official language of five countries and is a significant secondary language in four others. Take a local lesson if you spend time working, studying, or visiting Berlin. Going to a language school as opposed to self-teaching will help make this difficult language much easier to learn.
2. French
French is one of the most popular languages in the world. In 2015, estimates suggested that there were over 275 million people with varying degrees of French fluency. By 2050, the number is expected to reach 650 million. Even today, most native French speakers live outside of France. The majority are in different parts of Africa, and there is also a sizable number in North America – mainly in the Canadian province of Quebec. Learning French could therefore be incredibly useful for an entrepreneur trying to crack the global market.
3. Chinese
There's no denying China's rise as a global superpower over the past few decades. China now accounts for nearly 15% of the global economy, according to estimates by the World Bank. Mark Zuckerberg is perhaps the only prominent tech leader who speaks Mandarin. Over the coming decades China's economy will shift from manufacturing to consumption, which will make this an important market for global entrepreneurs and businesses to target. Due to its popularity, learning Mandarin could be a better option than Cantonese for entering the market.

4. Spanish
Not only is Spanish one of the most prominent languages in the world, but it is also relatively easy to learn in comparison to other languages on this list. With a rudimentary command in spoken and written Spanish, you could tap into South American and Central American communities to strike deals for your business. Economic powerhouses such as Chile, Panama, Colombia, and Peru all speak Spanish – not to mention Spain itself, which is one of the biggest economies in Europe. CLEP Spanish Language skills could also give your business an edge in the growing Hispanic community in North America.
5. Arabic
Arabic is the fifth most spoken language in the world. Understanding it will give you access to the vast Middle Eastern market and its hundreds of millions of inhabitants. Arabic culture and commerce is quickly going digital, so for remote entrepreneurs now is the best time to learn this fascinating and ancient language. However, Arabic has several different spoken varieties, so be sure to do your research before choosing which one to learn.
These are some of the most important languages for a global entrepreneur trying to establish a multinational business.

Hudson's Bay Co., which is cutting 2,000 jobs in its key North American retail business to help in its recovery efforts, is operating on the assumption that business will remain difficult.
The department-store retailer, whose first-quarter loss more than doubled from a year earlier, is overseeing a massive transformation aimed at eliminating layers of management, streamlining decision-making and making its operations more nimble. The cuts are targeted at saving more than $350-million, annually, by the end of fiscal 2018 and putting more of a focus on its digital business.
But Jerry Storch, chief executive officer of HBC, said on Friday he's making no predictions about when the initiatives will begin boosting the company's bottom line and sales.
"We aren't going to get into the game of talking about what's going to happen or not going to happen in terms of retail sales because, honestly, I don't think anyone could tell you that," he told a conference call with analysts.
Hudson's Bay, whose stock was down 10 per cent in early afternoon trading, is operating in a turbulent retail market as low-cost digital rivals steal business and stores are forced to close or reinvent themselves.
Department stores have been among the biggest victims of the sweeping changes as they take on more agile competitors that are rapidly lowering prices to lure customers.
Still, Richard Baker, executive chairman of HBC and a U.S. real estate titan, said the retailer is still looking to be a consolidator in the department-store industry and searching for other potential acquisitions. It acquired HBC in 2008, U.S.-based Saks Inc. in 2013 and Galleria Kaufhof in Germany in 2015.
"I continue to believe that there are opportunities around the world to create synergies and increase our market share in different markets," Mr. Baker said. "Obviously we have a lot to do here and we're very focused on it."
HBC considered acquiring U.S. rival Macy's Inc. earlier this year and, more recently, mulled an acquisition of debt-ridden Neiman Marcus Group Inc.
And HBC is still studying ways to benefit from the value of its significant real estate holdings, he said.
Mr. Baker has talked about spinning off HBC properties into publicly-traded real estate investment trusts. "That is a tougher situation today than it was six months ago" he said, seemingly referring to lower valuations of REITs. But he didn't rule it out either.
He said the company may take other actions, such as the sale of additional equity in HBC's joint ventures or real estate assets, depending on market conditions.
In its retail reinvention, Mr. Storch said HBC is building a business model to defend itself against future uncertainties and to play offence, with the goal of getting ahead of its competitors.
But even department stores' beauty counters – once considered untouchable in terms of heavy discounting – are feeling the squeeze of price cuts south of the border, he said.
Ten or 20 years ago, Baker said, retailers almost never marked down prices of cosmetics and fragrances. But with declining traffic and too many stores in the United States, discounting of beauty products is becoming more common in that market, he said.
"When your competitors do it, we have to do it," he said. "Once you get into that kind of a situation, everyone is fighting for every inch.
"We're in a brutally competitive environment in the United States right now," he said. "Stores are closing left and right … There will be fewer competitors – certainly fewer doors [stores] as you go forward. The market has to [be the] right size, supply and demand have to meet each other."
But he said HBC is not looking at closing stores, noting it has already pruned its worst ones. For its 50 Lord & Taylor stores in the United States, the problem, rather, is declining store traffic and fierce discounting. To fight those conditions, Lord & Taylor is focusing on its strengths, especially dresses and athletic wear, he said.
It's differentiating itself with products that are not available at rivals, like those from Bobbie Brown and Karl Lagerfeld.
"In the department store of the future, you are not going to win selling something all your competitors sell," Mr. Storch said.
He said staff cutbacks will not be accomplished "on the backs of the customer," but rather largely among back-office and middle management ranks, he said.
HBC said late Thursday its first-quarter loss climbed to $221-million or $1.21 a share, from $97-million or 53 cents, a year earlier. Its sales slipped to $3.2-billion from $3.3-billion.
The company expects to take one-time charges of about $95-million in the next year tied to the transformation efforts.
Among other leadership changes, HBC has appointed Alison Coville, an almost 20-year veteran of Hudson's Bay, as president of the Canadian chain. Liz Rodbell, who was president of Hudson's Bay and Lord & Taylor in the United States, will continue in the latter role.
HBC is moving back to its previous structure from several years ago of having separate management teams for each of Hudson's Bay and Lord & Taylor to handle different conditions in each of the Canadian and U.S. markets, Mr. Storch said.
He said Canada has been one of HBC's strongest segments. "We want to make sure we don't leave anything on the table in Canada."
HBC's same-store sales at all of its banners fell 2.9 per cent in its first quarter ended April 29, declining 2.4 per cent at its division which includes Hudson's Bay and Lord & Taylor. But the company said sales grew at Hudson's Bay, driven mainly by a strong digital business.
Same-store sales at Saks fell 4.8 per cent, a steeper decline than reported by U.S. rivals Macy's, Nordstrom Inc. and J.C. Penney Co. Inc. HBC's discount operations, Saks Off 5th and online website Gilt.com, fell 6.8 per cent, a fifth consecutive decline.

Making yet another attempt to improve relations with Pakistan , Prime Minister Narendra Modi has now hoped that the Kartarpur corridor would act as a bridge between the peoples of India and Pakistan that might lead to a better future as he referred to the fall of the Berlin Wall to underline the importance of people-to-people contact.
On the occasion of the birth anniversary of first Sikh Guru Nanak Dev, the prime minister referred to the Partition and said, "What has happened in 1947 has happened."
He said the issues between the governments and the armies would continue and only time will show the way out.
Underlining the strength of people-to-people contact, the prime minister said, "Had anyone ever thought that the Berlin Wall would fall. May be with the blessings of Guru Nanak Devji, this Kartarpur corridor will not just remain a corridor, but act as a bridge between the peoples of the two countries."

Members of the Fighting Peacocks, much like their beloved mascot the Peacock, are loud, proud and ready to take on the world
On Saturday, June 2, the team - comprised of men from throughout Delaware County - showcased its members during a series of exhibition games against both a Jay and Grove community team at the Jay Bulldog Baseball field.
It was all part of an effort designed to raise funds for an upcoming trip to the USA Games in Seattle, Washington.
The 14-member team, sponsored by the Delaware County Friendship Home, will join other Special Olympians from across the state as part of the Oklahoma Delegation.
The games officially begin on Sunday, July 1, with an opening ceremony. The Fighting Peacocks are set to play ball on Monday, July 2, Tuesday, July 3 and Thursday, July 5.
Alicia Jory, one of the team's captains, said a portion of the USA games are scheduled to air on ESPN.
A total of 49 athletes, coaches and volunteers, will travel with the Oklahoma delegation. Other members will take part in sports such as power lifting, track and field, bowling, golf and swimming.
Jory said the Fighting Peacocks were selected to take part in the games based upon the team's competition level and record.
The team has consistently been the state champion during the summer Special Olympic games since 2011.
They have also played, on a national level, winning honors in 2012, 2014 and 2016.
Jory said each player needs to raise at least $1,250 per person, before the team leaves on June 30.
While most of the monies have come in, she estimates the team needs at least a combined $3,000 to fully fund the trip.
"This is such an honor," Jory said. "It's something we have wanted to do for years - to be recognized for their hard work and dedication."
In addition to Fourth of July festivities, the team plans to sightsee on their day off, taking in at least the Space Needle.
"We like to try to do something while we are out and about," Jory said. "We like to at least give one day of sightseeing, so they can see different parts of the country.
More about the Fighting Peacocks
The team is comprised of a diverse group of players, and community volunteer supporters.
The supporters, Jory said, and the players begin training in January and continues through June.
Practices involve working on fundamentals and other skills needed to keep the team at the Master Level 3, the highest level of competition.
While the Fighting Peacocks are an all male team, the DCFH has two co-ed teams: a beginner-level T-Ball team and an intermediate level softball team.
Brad Tanner, is a member of the Fighting Peacocks. The 2008 graduate of Jay High School said he likes being part of the tradition, which comes with being a "peacock."
Tanner typically plays catcher on the team.
"I like going to represent our hometown to the world," Tanner said, adding he's learned a lot about both the game and life, from working with the team's community partners.
Rob Cearley is one of the team's long-time community member. He's been volunteering at the DCFH for 30 years, and been a partner since the team began.
He loves how the game lets players, who may have never played softball or baseball, grow in their skills - from the lowest to the highest level.
"This teaches teamwork, athleticism and about being a family," Cearley said. "Because that's what we are, we're together all of the time. One person isn't any better than the rest."
Cearley said the Special Olympics, in general, help teach the athletes about competing at every level be it beginner or master.
He admits his favorite team to watch is the T-Ball team.
"It's the lowest level of competition, but they bust their butts harder than anybody," Cearley said. "They have a blast playing."
Cearley said those players have a spirit of "knock down, drag out competition," adding the team would practice five days a week if allowed.
For more information about the Fighting Peacocks, or the other softball teams available through the Delaware County Friendship Home, or to help with the team's fundraising efforts, persons interested may call 918-253-6032, mail a check to P.O. Box 720, Jay, OK 74346 or come by the office at 1111 West Cherokee Street in Jay.
Did You Know?
The Fighting Peacocks were originally named the Delaware County Friendship Home softball team.
In 2012, following the death of Travis Ellis - a long-time friend to many on the team - team members decided to honor Ellis by renaming the group after his favorite cheer at games "You Are A Peacock."
Organizers said Ellis loved the game of softball and had a heart the size of the moon. He also had a contagious smile.
Just The Facts
The Fighting Peacocks have won numerous awards since 2011.
They have been the running state winners, during the summer Special Olympics games in Stillwater, from 2011 to 2018.
In 2012 they took third place during a national competition.
In 2014 they were the national runners-up.
In 2016 they were the national champions.
This is the first time, in 2018, they have been invited to participate as part of the Oklahoma delegation during the USA games.
Did You Know?
This year, during the summer games for the Special Olympics in Stillwater, Alicia Jory, coach of the Fighting Peacocks, was named "coach of the year."
A Special Olympic coach since 1999, Jory said she loves watching players active success through the Delaware County Friendship Home teams.
"We play and are around each other so much, it's like family," Jory said.
Jory got started working with the DCFH years ago, when her mother opened the agency.
"I was always part of the Special Olympics," I always wanted to be a coach. I had a chance to be the head [softball] coach and I took it and ran with it.
"It's an amazing feeling when you [help players] learn something new."

A budget is a statement of the government's priorities. What we have in this budget is an example of how the government thinks it is more important to deliver $80 billion worth of tax cuts to the biggest companies in Australia while leaving our schools, our hospitals and our TAFE system struggling, unable to provide the services that Australians expect of them. And off the back of the best global and economic environment that the Australian government has seen in decades, we see a government that is makingno inroads into net debt.
In fact, net debt at the end of this budget period is going to be double the level of debt that they inherited when they came into government. Debt is growing faster under this government than under any previous Labor government. Their economic credibility is completely and utterly shredded.
I want to talk about tax for a moment. When you give $80 billion worth of tax cuts to some of the biggest companies in the country, you have less money left over to do other things that people expect of you. I want to talk about aged care. In my electorate at the moment, there are over 900 people on waiting lists who have been assessed as needing an aged care package so that they can continue to live in their homes. They have been assessed as needing it, yet they are unable to access those packages because there are none available. In fact, looking at the situation around the country, there are over 105,000 people in exactly the same position and that number is increasing as an additional 5,000 people every year are assessed as needing a service but are unable to get one. Every year, another 5,000 people are assessed as being in need but are unable to get a package. So the government expects us to give them a pat on the back for putting a measly 3,500 additional care packages in the system each year? Frankly, we're not going to do that. And to make matters worse, they are robbing Peter to pay Paul; they are pinching money out of aged carethe residential systemto pay for the additional Home Care Package places, ensuring that the needs of both the home care and the residential sectors are not being met.
Frankly, the older people of Australia expect more from this government, and are getting much less. They should not be surprised because, if you look at the other initiatives that are baked into this budget, you can see that that the government are persisting with their reckless plan of ripping $14 a fortnight away from single pensioners in the form of the clean energy supplement. That $14 is helping pensioners pay for their electricity bills, which are going up and up and up, particularly as we go into winter, yet this government wants to reduce their pension payment by up to $14 a week for a single person pensioner. In addition to that, in every single budget this governmentwhich thinks it's got the locked-on support of pensionershas sought to cut pension payments. This is on top of the plan this government has to ensure that Australia has the oldest retirement age of any country in the Western world.
Only a bloke who's spent his life in merchant banking thinks that you can work to the age of 70 and not have your body give up on you. Well, I tell you, there are a lot of labourers, there are a lot of people who have worked in the mines and a lot of people who have worked in manufacturing and construction in my electorate who can tell a different story. By the time they hit their mid-60s their back is starting to go, their knees are starting to go, arthritis is starting to set in and there is simply no way that they're going to be able to continue on doing the same job until they're 70. It might be okay if you're pushing numbers around a page as a merchant banker, but people who are doing real work, with their backs and with their bodies, know that this is not the case. We're calling on the government to deliver a better deal for the pensioners and the seniors of this countrya better deal than the one that is on offer.
We are seeing another round of budgets with another round of cuts to hospitals. The Liberals are already cutting $11 million from hospitals in the Illawarra and Shoalhaven area. Hospitals are under stress. We need a better deal from the government. It's why, in his budget reply, Labor leader Bill Shorten announced that a Labor government would invest in over 500,000 more places for scans funded by Medicare over a first Labor budget. Labor would invest $2.8 billion in more beds and shorter waiting times for surgery, and Labor would also be investing over $80 million to boost the number of eligible MRI machines around the country and approve an additional 20 new licences. So, while the Liberals are cutting $11 million from the hospitals in my region and much more from hospitals around the country, we see Labor willing to invest over $2.8 billion in a fund to reduce waiting times for surgery and put more beds in hospitals, to invest in new MRI licences and to ensure more people can get the scans and the healthcare services that they need. There is a clear distinction.
This government likes to talk a big game about its investment in infrastructure, but when you look through the details of this budget there is not one new cent for investing in infrastructure throughout the country. And at a time when rail experts are saying that the Illawarra line between Sydney, Wollongong and Nowra will reach its capacity by 2021, there is not a plan from the state government, and not a cent from the federal government, to improve rail services to the people of the Illawarra and South Coast. There was not even a mention of the Maldon Dombarton rail link, though report after report said that it is essential to getting freight off our roads and freight off the Illawarra line to ensure that we can have better passenger services and better freight rail services to the people of the region and to western New South Wales. So, they talk a big game on infrastructure, but they are delivering very little indeed.
I have not been surprised to see members from regional areaswhether they are Liberal Party members, whether they are National Party members or whether they are Labor Party memberscondemning the failure of this government to include funds within the budget for another Mobile Black Spot Program. We had the minister telling people that the job is already done. Well, there are over 10,000 black spots on the publicly listed databaseidentifying the mobile phone black spots throughout the country. The government's funded a little over 800, and yet they say the job is done. Well, our message to the government is that the job is far from done when it comes to delivering better mobile services to the people of Australia.
People are keen to ensure that we bring the budget into balance, but that where we have the capacity to return money to wage and salary earners that we do it in a fair and equitable way. At a time when wage increases have been flatlining, through policies for which the government is directly responsible, we're seeing penalty rates cut from ordinary workers who are working over their weekends, and we're seeing immense pressure on wages. We think that there is a need for a better deal for ordinary workers. That's why, under Labor's alternative tax proposal, everyone earning under $125,000 a year will receive a better tax cut. More than four million Australians will be better off by over $398 a year than they would under the Liberal Party plan.
A teacher, for example, who earns $65,000 a year will receive a tax cut of $928 a year. A couple earning $90,000 a year and $50,000 a year respectively will receive a tax cut of around $1,855 a year, leaving them clearly in a better position under the Labor proposal than under the Liberal and National Party proposal. The reason that we're able to do this is that we aren't giving $80 billion to the biggest companies in the country. It's why we're able to do more in terms of schools, hospitals and aged care.
I want to talk about TAFE, because this budget has seen yet another attack on TAFE, with $270 million ripped out of the TAFE system. The minister describes it as 'the basket-weaving section of the education system'. We think it's something very different; not basket-weavers, but plumbers, electricians, carpentersin fact, the tradespeople who people throughout Australia are relying on. It strikes us as absolutely ridiculousit is absolutely ridiculous!that at a time when we are having to import skilled tradespeople from other countries, the government is attacking the very institution which will enable us to train the next generation of skilled tradespeople.
So, by contrast to the government, which has cut well over $3 billion from the TAFE sector since it has been in government, Labor will scrap up-front fees for around 100,000 TAFE students who choose to learn skills that the Australian people need the most. Labor will also invest another $100 million in modernising our TAFE facilities right around the country after conservative governments, federal and state, have ripped the guts out of those TAFE campuses. And Labor will ensure that one in every 10 jobs are created to be filled by Australian apprentices on every Commonwealth priority project.
So we will walk the walk and talk the talk. We will ensure that when the federal government is investing in large-scale infrastructure projects, that one in every 10 jobs on those projects will have to have an Australian apprentice on it. This is the way you address a skills crisis, by ensuring that one in every 10 jobs on a priority project is for an apprentice. This is the way you address a skills crisis, by ensuring that you reverse the cuts that the government has made and by investing money to scrap the up-front fees in 100,000 TAFE student places.
The government thinks the TAFE sector is full of basket-weavers; Labor thinks the TAFE sector is absolutely essential to ensuring that we are training the next generation of skilled tradespeople, whether they are carpenters, electricians or builders. These are the trades that Australia needs and these are the trades that we should be investing in.
If you want a rolled-gold example of the government's priorities, if you want to look at the difference between Labor and Liberal when it comes to budget priorities, it's here: $17 billion in tax cuts to the disgraced big banks; $17 billion in funding cuts to our schools. In my electorate today there are more than 115 classrooms that are temporary demountables; there are schools that lack the specialist teachers to help those kids that are struggling get up to standard and reach their full potential. It's why Labor will return every single cent of that $17 billion that has been cut from schools and ensure that we fund that by getting our priorities right. So we'll give $17 billion to our schools, not $17 billion in tax cuts to the big banks, which have been utterly disgraced by their appalling behaviour to Australian consumers over the past decade.
We will deliver a budget that is more in tune with the priorities of ordinary, everyday Australians. Contrast that to the budget that has been delivered by the Turnbull government, which is arrogant, out of touch and not meeting the basic needs of everyday Australians. When it comes to a fair tax cut, when it comes to decent hospitals, when it comes to decent schools, universities and a TAFE system, this is what the Australian people expect from a budget and from a government, and they'll get it from a Labor government.

PAPHOS timeshare and holiday ownership companies are desperate to clean up their aggressive image and want to continue to operate in a regulated and policed fashion.
Brendan Surgenor, CEO of a Paphos-based company specialising in holiday ownership, contacted the Cyprus Mail after a recent story highlighted aggressive touting in the seaside resort.
He pointed out there are three main companies operating these services using touting methods, and they all wish to be licensed and legal.
"I agree that there are some operatives who are aggressive, and there are areas of Paphos where there are far too many concentrated in one place, such as the harbour.
"It would be a good idea if, for example, each company was allowed five representatives, who would be in coloured uniforms with ID badges. Then people would be able to identify them and complain if they were treated aggressively. It could be a case of three strikes and you're out. This is common practice all over the world."
Timeshare or holiday ownership can either mean a form of part 'ownership' of a property or the legal right to use a particular property, depending on the terms dictated in the contract.
Surgenor has a 20-year history in the timeshare industry, including in Greece, and has been operating in Paphos for four years as the CEO of a company involved in holiday ownership including, Interval International, RCI, and which has exclusive rights to international cruises and excursions in Cyprus.
He stressed, "I've approached the Paphos mayor Savvas Vargas on a number of occasions to request a licence as this would be of help to all of us. We want to be policed and regulated, but I was told this wasn't possible. We want to work with the mayor," he added.
Surgenor believes holiday ownership is a good thing for Cyprus and says figures suggest it brings in around €10 million a year in tourism revenue. According to Surgenor, even when times are lean, time-share properties are 50-60 per cent full.
Touts are fined €85 a time if they are found to be harassing members of the public. Surgenor has calculated that this money amounts to €3,000-4,000 a month.
"We aren't ignorant to the situation," he said, "and we are asking for professional help, I want to get involved with the relevant officials to discuss what we can do."
The sharer has no claim of ownership over the property, and may have a number of options attached to the agreement such as gifting, internal sale, or the right to rent it out for a specified allotted time.
Established holiday ownership companies in Paphos include, Karoushi, Leptos and Panareti. But they don't necessarily use touts on the street. Leptos sell their holiday ownership internally and Surgenor believes this is because they don't want to be associated with these types of problems.
He added, "We are all on very good terms and I often have Cypriot companies knocking on my door, especially since the global financial crisis."
Surgenor believes timeshare to be an outdated term that only refers to fixed weeklong holidays, whereas holiday ownership is more flexible.
"I would like nothing more than to sit down with the CTO, the mayor and the police and sort out a strategy."
And what if this meeting isn't forthcoming?
"I plan to clean up the mess, bring down the numbers of representatives on the streets, and legalise the touts to a specified number per company," he advised, "There are many dotted around Paphos; it's not just on the seafront and in the market."
Surgenor added, "I'm continually asking for a license and the last time we requested one was about three months ago.
"I was again told there isn't one that could apply to us. Instead, via a member of the municipality who pointed me in the right direction, I have rented a small shop in the market.
"I don't need as many people on the street, and I have exhibitions inside. People are inquisitive and come into me; it's getting rid of the need for touts. But it still really needs to be controlled."
Countries such as Spain, the Canary Islands and Malta are policed and controlled.
Countries such as Spain, the Canary Islands and Malta are policed and controlled, and Surgenor believes this approach is more professional.
"We have highly trained staff who have worked in the industry before, but sometimes there are those who are badly trained, and have no idea what they're doing. I mean, you can't have three people in the harbour and 15 touts, it's ridiculous."
Surgenor said he represents the views of all the holiday ownership companies in Paphos, and pointed out that most are owned, or connected to Cypriots.
"It will be a lot nicer if we could be registered, and have five out on the streets instead of 40.
"We all want to listen, and don't want to break the laws, and I would love to approach the mayor again if he would sit down and listen to me. I know he embraces the idea of holiday ownership, but not the presence of touts on the streets, and this way of marketing."
Surgenor insists he is using other methods of promotion.
"People come into my shop of their own free will, and I'm just opening a second one."
"It's now down to the municipality if they would like to meet up. If there is no control, things get out of control; it's just common sense. My door is always open."

Something very interesting is going on in the US these days. On the one hand, a cloned Hutton Inquiry is underway to whitewash successful 9/11-operation of the Neo-cons and Zionists' with prior knowledge of the US administration.
On the other, the neo-mods of Islam –" which include all shades from "liberal" to "progressive," "moderate," and "enlightened moderate" Muslims –" have intensified their efforts to establish themselves as the only acceptable "moderates" in the eyes of the real culprits of 9/11.[1]
Soon after 9/11, leading media outlets started printing desperate pleas of the neo-mods of Islam for recognition. They called the US administration not to leave them high and dry like other Muslim allies. They assured the establishment in all possible ways that they are the only reliable to rely upon in the administration's crusade for transforming the Muslim world in the US image.
Irrespective of the confusing fog of clichés, such as "normative principles" and "empirical reality," there is no denying the fact that the centuries old campaign to classify Muslims has intensified after the fall of Soviet Union. A cursory look at the Western literature over the last 20 years will testify to this fact.
The term "fundamentalist" was further classified and associated with extremism and terrorism in a way that any mention to fundamentalism now leads people to think of nothing else, but terrorism.
The neo-mods of Islam played an enormous role in promoting the misconception that there are a diverse set of Muslims, who claim to be the upholders of different types of Islam.
What is interesting in all of this is not the western demand for moderation. Actually it has been the Neo-cons and Zionist plan to divide Muslims to which many Muslims responded with supplying "moderation" in return for acceptability and the favours they need according to their respective status.
The latest attempts of these diverse groups of opportunists are directed at proving which the actual "moderates" among them are.
This article seeks to examine the real basis of classification among human beings, which has been narrowed down only to Muslims with a variety of rancid notions and confusing clichés. It will try to show that there is no place in Islam for the kind of classification vigorously promoted by the neo-mods of Islam.
It sounds nice to give diverse examples of the Taliban, Brotherhood, Al-Qaeda, etc. and call it empirical reality. When looked from a shallow perspective, these groups might seem relatively moderate or extreme when compared in relation to each other.
What is difficult for the self-proclaimed "moderates" to show is the bottom line of "moderateness." Where does the advocates-of-war-promoted moderation end? This is necessary to determine because, for example, Daniel Pipes is out to condemn one of the avowed "moderate" as "radical." (See: http://www.danielpipes.org/article/1659)
If Muslims, who never get tired of labelling themselves as "moderates," are considered as "radicals," all the rest must be criminal mass-murderers and terrorists, who could not even be described in the available words for bad people.
Second, who sets the bench mark of moderation which the "moderates" pre-suppose in their blind quest for recognition?
Third, who is the judge? Who gauges deviation or conformity of individuals, groups or states with reference to these benchmarks?
Undoubtedly, the judge for the neo-mods is the US. It is proved from the appeals of neo-mods to the US establishment to support them and asking it to "delegitimize the discourse coming from rogue Islamists."[2] What kind of contest of opinion and interpretation is this in which one side –" liberal –" is seeking US support for delegitimizing others and promote the neo-mods. Imagine the power of the neo-mods' opinion which cannot validate itself without a solid support from the ziono-fascists.
The way Muslims respond to injustice, occupations and various other forms of exploitations is absolutely not the criteria to moderation. As long as the self-appointed judges of moderation do not put themselves in the shoes of victims, they cannot set a bench mark that judges a group on the basis whether it targets civilians and their property or not.
These self-appointed judges of moderation always elevate reason over revelation, but they leave reason aside when they first declare in the pages of the New York Times:"The choices we face are tough, but Muslims must realize that the interests of our sons and daughters, who are American, must come before the interests of our brothers and sisters, whether they are Palestinian, Kashmiri or Iraqi"; and then blame victims of 50 years Israeli wholesale oppression for targeting civilians, as if the Israeli oppressors know and respect this distinction.
These are not the valid criteria for such classification among Muslims because the associated vagueness would well classify even Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as the most radical and militant person for being a model of practicing revelation to the core and being so "aggressive" to engage his followers in a many wars in a short span of after migration to Madina.
The vagueness of the criteria put forward by the neo-mods can be judged from the way they classify Muslims with "minimalist degree of personal religious commitment," and those who have "embraced secularity in the public realm" as "Liberal Muslims."
These agents of classification, however, can never come up with any reference from the Holy Qur'an or Sunnah that considers a people with avowed "minimalist degree of personal religious commitment" and rejection of the role of Islam in "public realm" at least as Muslims, let alone any other acceptable label.
It is wrong to assume that Islamic resurgence is a movement in response to the dominance of Western civilisation. The moribund Western civilisation is not dominating the Muslim world. It is the crusade-infected mentality of some in the Western world, who dominate the Muslim world through the use of deputy tyrants, fully supported by economic, military and technological might. The movement in the Muslim world is not for the revival of Islam but for revival of Muslims.
This tendency did not lead to any new ideology, referred to by the neo-mods as "Islamism." The so-considered ideologies are simply different modus operandi to call Muslims to Islam according to the situation they face in different parts of the Muslim world.
In their quest for prominence and personal success, the neo-mods attempt to turn some non-issues, raised by the neo-cons, into international debate. For instance, Muslims do not consider moderation as a function of secularism. They consider it a virtue of Islam and basic trait of Muslims' behaviour. This is a non-issue. The issue is: Who sets the bench mark of moderation for Muslims? The Qur'an or the Zionist Neo-cons alliance?
To rise above the confused rhetoric of the classifying agents, one needs to understand the basis of actual classification among human beings, not Muslims alone.
For this one needs not go too far away from the beginning of the Qur'an. Four verses at the beginning of second chapter describe the believers. The next two describe the disbelievers, and thirteen verses that follow describe the hypocrites among Muslims for the simple reason that identifying hypocrites is extremely necessary to avoid their mischief.
This is where we see that all the self-pleasing shades among so-called Muslims –" from liberal to enlightened moderates and those associated with the amalgamated religio-political parties –" is nothing but hypocrisy under different labels. The verses 11 and 12 brings the real picture of what we witness today:
And when it is said to the hypocrites: "Do not make mischief on the earth," they say: "We are only peacemakers." (02:11). [3] Verily, they are the ones who make mischief, but they perceive not. (02:12).
In the Qur'an, there is no ground for the kind of classification among Muslims to which the whole world is subjected these days. There is a broader classification of Believers and disbelievers. Hypocrites are given specific attention for they appear in the guise of believers and most often than not, they themselves are ignorant of the fact that they are involved in hypocrisy. Calling hypocrisy of these groups and individuals by different names are attempts akin to hiding the sun with fingers in a broad day light.
The CIA is one of the leading forces behind promoting such divisions among Muslims. In "The CIA at War", Ronald Kessler, an investigative reporter and author of several books about the CIA and the FBI, reveals how the agency created fake Islamic scholars to preach a "moderate" message and counter anti-American sentiment in the Muslim world.
"In Islam, as in many other religions, anyone can call himself a religious leader," he said in the book. "So, besides paying mullahs, the CIA created fake mullahs — recruited agents who would proclaim themselves clerics and take a more moderate position about disbelievers."[4]
"We are taking over radio stations and supporting clerics," a CIA source was quoted as saying. "It's back to propaganda. We are creating moderate Muslims."
Similarly, if it doesn't smell of collusion, at least finding CIA's advertisement at internet discussion groups moderated by self-proclaimed "moderates" is really odd. There is a variety of opportunities, why to pick CIA's advertisement in particular for display on internet discussion list launched for discussing "political Islam."
This is time for both Muslims and non-Muslims to wake up and test the "empirical realities" on the touchstone of the Qur'anic criteria for classifying human beings and the Neo-cons' criteria for classifying Muslims alone. It shows everyone the group with which he will be raised on the Day of Judgment. Any denial of finding ourselves in an unfavorable group will simply ensure our place with them.

Helping moderate Muslims reclaim the intellectual and ideological leadership of Islam's fellowship of believers (the ummah) can more easily attain that goal than trying to convert more than one billion Muslims to Christianity."

[3] Comments of a moderate: "we need to learn to live in peace with the rest of the world. As a doctrine of expansion and conquest jihad will never again get the free hand which it enjoyed for a few hundred years after the advent of Islam. It is time to stop dreaming impossible dreams because they have invariably proved to be delusions in reality."

Like General Musharraf and Muqtedir Khan, the "moderates" quote Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) out of context to justify their agenda point. They believe: "The highest form of Jihad, Jihad-e-Akbar (The superior Jihad) is struggle against the self to improve and excel in moral and spiritual realm. The lowest form of Jihad is the military Jihad that is essentially defensive and constrained by strict ethics of engagement." (Muqtedir Khan, "Radical Islam, Liberal Islam," Current History, Vol. 102, No: 668 (December, 2003), pp. 417-421. Musharraf believes Jihad against poverty is Jihad-e-Akbar. The reality is that Prophet Muhammed used the term Jihad-e-Akbar when he was returning from Ghzwa-e-Tabuk and had to deal with the mischief of hypocrites. As for as Jihad in moral and spiritual realms is concerned that was on from day one of his Prophethood in Mecca. There was no need for Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to say, while returning from Jihad against infidels, that now we are going for a greater Jihad.

Fans Will Not Be Happy About This Male R&B Singer Calling Out Beyoncé, SZA And Cardi B
"Stop using that f**king pain to make it OK to say some bullsh** on your record and get nominated for a Grammy..."
There is a scene in Roxanne Roxanne--Netflix's uncompromising biopic detailing the triumphant and at times painful rise of hip-hop's first high-profile female emcee, Roxanne Shanté--that perfectly captures the ferocity and brilliance of the then 14-year-old rhyme prodigy. It's 1984, and the fearless native of the infamous Queensbridge, New York, projects demolishes a disrespectful, pestering young boy in a battle rap, in braces and rocking a ponytail. The trouncing cleverly segues into a showdown against a bewildered, older male emcee whose face looks like he has just heard the voice of a goddess.
"I don't trust you as far as I can throw you/You ain't sh-t around the way, I'm fly global/Another hard rap, you all on my bra strap/You step to me and all you get is a hard slap…" rips Shanté, who collects $250 in winnings after another lyrical slaying. The film stars transformative newcomer Chanté Adams as the first pioneering solo Queen of Rap, whose 1985 gold debut single, "Roxanne's Revenge," a response record to UTFO's classic "Roxanne Roxanne" (1984), paved the way for a legion of female rappers from Salt-N-Pepa, MC Lyte, Queen Latifah and Yo-Yo to the Da Brat, Gangsta Boo, Remy Ma, Nicki Minaj and Cardi B.
Backed by future super producer Marley Marl, Lolita Shanté Gooden found herself at the center of the "Roxanne wars," spawning a string of more than 50 answer-back records highlighted by "Sparky's Turn (Roxanne, You're Through)," "The Real Roxanne" and "Do The Roxanne." Critics labeled the craze as pure novelty, an undeserving tag that hip-hop constantly fought early on in its commercial development.
Indeed, Roxanne Shanté would go on to have a seismic-shifting effect, not only laying the foundation for the influential Cold Chillin' Records, but setting the stage for the Juice Crew rhyme collective that also included Marley, MC Shan, Master Ace, Biz Markie, Craig G., Big Daddy Kane and Kool G Rap. Hip-hop, as it is today, was a testosterone-driven game throughout the '80s and early '90s. And yet Roxanne Shanté managed to more than have her say, taking on everyone from Boogie Down Productions (Shanté was singled out on KRS-One's landmark 1987 diss track "The Bridge Is Over"), Kurtis Blow, Run-D.M.C. and LL Cool J.
Of course, don't take our word for it. Here are five songs that personify the witty, cocky and at times profane rhyme presence of a woman who single-handedly changed the culture. All hail Roxanne Shanté.
"Rhymes are hand made/Black man made/Coming out of a war with just a Band-Aid/Fans make me number 1 so I get in reverse/Try to rehearse every verse, my rhymes are cursed…"
Shanté takes the mic and beats down opposing emcees over a club-ready track that samples a glorious riff and drum break from Booker T & The M.G.'s 1971 instrumental "Melting Pot." That year her Juice Crew cohort Big Daddy Kane used the same groove for his lyrical assault "Another Victory." Not bad company, huh?
"Matter of fact, yo, I'mma start calling off names/First up is Latifah/ You roll up, and I'mma smoke that a-- like reefer/'Cause you ain't never in life been a star to me/Sold the f--- out trying to go R&B/Now that shit is shady/You say ladies first, well I'm the first lady."
In the age of gangsta rap, it made perfect sense that Shanté would name her 1992 album The Bitch Is Back. The provocative title also signaled a harder, more explicit turn for an artist who was already cursing on record before she turned 16 a decade before Lil Kim shocked the world. Who has time for subliminal lyrics when you can just snatch wigs and worry about the fallout later? Not only does Shanté go after Queen Latifah, but she launches savage verbal grenades at Monie Love, MC Lyte, and Yo-Yo, saving a more respectful glancing blow at Salt-N-Pepa. Hey, she is a lady after all.
"Now I'm not out to diss the whole Boogie Down/Just a featherweight crew from that part of town/You made a little record and then you start fronting/Tried to diss the Juice Crew, but ain't hurt nothing/No KRS-One, you should go on vacation/With that name sound like a wack radio station."
Roxanne Shanté finally answers BDP, complete with laugh-inducing punchlines. While most fans saw the retort at the Blast Master as way too fashionably late, the rhyme mistress also managed to put female emcees on notice: "So when it comes around to the month of May send me your royalty check for Mother's Day."
"While you were over here perpetrating the fraud, I was oversees on the charts with Boy George/You're the beginner, Shante's the winner/Having all the competition for dinner/Sit you on a table with a plate and cup, say Grace…and then eat you're a-- up."
A comeback record of sorts for the "Roxanne Roxanne" empress, "Go On Girl" increases the beats per minute and gets down to business. And for her chest-beating return, Shanté could not have asked for a more high profile platform, garnering a spot on the gold-selling soundtrack for the Los Angeles gang film Colors, which also featured Ice T's monumental title track.
"So don't honk your horn keep rolling/No I don't wanna ride cause the shit might be stolen/Anyway, I know your number/You got a Gas, grass, or ass" sticker on your bumper/Go ahead and say I'm stuck up/Cause I ain't doing nothing that'll make my rep f---ed up."
Roxanne Shanté was more than just a battle rapper, as she shows on his cautionary statement that warns young women to stay empowered and watch out for dudes up to no good. Sure "Brothers Ain't Sh-t's" scathing lyrics would give nightmares to any radio programmer and He-Man Woman Hating Club members. But that's the point. Shanté was simply turning the tables on her male peers. Bravo, sis.
"Stop using that f**king pain to make it OK to say some bullsh** on your record and get nominated for a Grammy..."
Here are all the artists who posted tributes to the late R&B singer.

HOT SHOP: Double Merrick
April 26, 2011
In between careful applications of after-sun cream today, I have managed to reach my computer (despite the pain) and have been admiring the gorgeous buys in Merrick Angle's little online shop, Double Merrick (his daughter Flora came up with the name – announcing that it sounded like her daddy, only better…)
Merrick's a British illustrator, but now based in a 'crumbly, vine-covered studio' near Limoges, in rural France. Lucky him. Each month, he releases limited edition prints and accessories, all oozing quirky charm. They're rather lovely. The 'La Mer' and 'Le Ciel' prints above are the latest additions – "Recall a time when travel meant more than low budget airlines and roll-on-roll-off ferries" – and don't miss his new French sweet wrapper prints…
Check out Merrick's blog for new product releases and to follow his complicated relationship with Norma, "a Lovely Scottish lady", who watches his blog: "like a Doberman watches a man wearing a ham vest".
I love Merrick's 1950s-style classroom wall charts of 'La Lune' et 'Le Soleil', and the 'His 'n' Hers Meat and Cake' aprons. If people in your house sneak off when there are chores to be done, drop an oh-so-subtle hint by whipping out (or whipping them with) one of Merrick's tea towels:
They'll soon get the message. Elsewhere, Merrick sells cute car bags, ideas notebooks, typewriter prints (swoon) and, my favourite print, 'Clock in Bin'.
I can't wait to see what Merrick comes up with next! – Ellie

Domino Walks All Over You
Attention boys! Mistress Domino here to tempt you with another tale from my experiences as a Brentwood escort. Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of having my feet worshipped by a sissy client.
We had met a few times previously, and since our first encounter he has been one of my most obedient slaves. I get so turned on watching him grovelling at my feet like a naughty puppy. We arranged to meet at a hotel – he treated me to a meal, showering me with compliments. I thanked him indifferently, his desperate begging for attention amusing and arousing me.
As we entered the hotel room, he wasted little time falling at my feet where he belongs! I sat on the bed and ordered him to worship my feet with his tongue. The feeling of dominance felt fantastic as I watched my sissy slave kiss and suck on my toes.
Once I was pleased with my Brentwood bitch, I told him to lay face down on the floor. I stripped down to my skimpy lingerie, but he wasn't allowed to look until I said so. I had trained him well, as he stayed face down as I walked up and down his back in my black high heels. Besides a few muted grunts, he stayed perfectly still like a good boy.
I stepped off of him and directed him onto the bed. He laid back and awaited my instructions – I was looking forward to punishing him more. I straddled his waist, blindfolded him and smacked his bare chest with my paddle. He shouted in agony and ecstasy, begging me for more.
When I was done, he had earned his reward for being such a good slave. I removed his blindfold and we enjoyed a naughty end to this satisfying encounter.
Do you dream of being dominated by an escort in Brentwood? 007 Bond Escorts are beautiful and powerful, who would love you to worship our bodies. Call Miss Moneypenny on 0800 634 2777 to arrange a date with escorts in Essex, Brighton and London. I look forward to walking all over you soon.

The Project Story
Challenge and Goals of Redesign
The current PointStream interface had started to look out-dated and long in the tooth. It had too much color saturation and over-usage of dark, gradient backgrounds. Additionally, it wasn't always easy to navigate through the interface or make sense of the data. My primary objectives in my proposed redesign were to (a) make the UI interactions more simple and intuitive, (b) represent the data in a manner that is easier to quickly scan and comprehend, and (c) produce a much more modern, clean look and feel.
IBM PointStream Timeline View Inspired by Video Editing Software
Inspired by video editing applications, I came up with the idea of sliding notches below the timeline that allow users to manipulate the timeline view (e.g. range/scope) by zooming in from match to set to game level. IBM's PointStream technology identifies key points in the match, such as forced errors, critical points, etc. These key points are marked on the timeline and can be interacted with. Hovering over a key point reveals details about the event, including who scored, what the serve speed was, and sometimes a description of the player error. If a video clip is available for the key point, then that is also offered in the form of a 'play' icon.
Key Point Videos
When a video 'play' icon is clicked for a key point on the timeline, this video modal pops up, dimming the screen behind. The details of the key point event are displayed to the right of the video player.
Revamped Match Summary
I revamped the Match Summary completely with a much cleaner and more graphical layout. For each statistic (e.g. Aces, 1st Serve %, etc.), a horizontal bar chart is displayed with red for one player and blue for the other. A pointed endpoint on the bar indicates the player who is currently winning in that stat category. Users can click on any of the stat category bar charts to dig into more details and see a comparison of that stat category for each individual set.
PointStream Score Alerts
I used Apple's Keynote to create an animated prototype of how I wanted PointStream score alerts to look and feel. Basically, a tennis ball flies in from off the screen and hits the player's score on the scoreboard, causing it to pulsate and increase. Other PointStream stats related to the score are highlighted with a yellow circle and they also briefly pulsate.
Brand New Feature: Keys to the Match
Keys to the Match was a brand new feature that the IBM PointStream application added in 2011. Based on IBM's predictive analytics technology, it allows fans to see key factors that are important for each player in order to win their match. More than five years worth of Grand Slam Tennis data (approximately 39 million data points) are mined to determine patterns and styles for players when they win. The user interface shows what sort of numbers IBM PointStream predicts is needed for a given key factor, such as percentage of first serves or threshold percentage of opponent volley shots. I came up with two different design options for visualizing these Keys to the Match. The second option ended up performing better in usability tests, so we went with that one.
Interactive Tennis Draw Sheet Inspired by Edward Tufte's Information Visualization Techniques
Inspired by an Edward Tufte workshop that I had recently attended, I decided to experiment with new designs for an interactive tennis draw sheet. My goal was to show the path of all players through the tournament bracket, at a glance, without making the interface feel overwhelming. The draw sheet would also indicate which matches were currently live, providing direct access to real-time PointStream data for those live matches. Because of development resource limitations and a tight schedule, we never ended up incorporating this piece into the final product, but the team still found it to be an interesting and valuable design exercise. The proof of concept wireframes allowed us to step outside of the box and think about sports tournament brackets in a brand new way.

Juan Caro and Fabio Sasso, known as Leitmotiv, offer fashion ideas for those who love color and prints, for men and women with eclectic personalities who don't get bored, who have intense lifestyles and are not looking for a wardrobe filled with shades of gray but with a rainbow of chromatic variations. Their extrovert personalities have made them very popular but it is their fashion ideas, the result of a creativity that has its epicenter in Bologna but is not bound by geographical borders, that have received significant acclaim, including a Special Mention by the June 2009 "Who's on next?" Jury. We meet them for some teasers about their menswear proposals for future seasons.
Can you briefly describe your s/s 2013 collection.
The "Dream Day" concept was born from our passion for artists linked to the beat generation and the legendary trips along Route 66. This led to the realization of a 2013 Men's Collection which is perfect for anyone who loves a hectic lifestyle. The prints are inspired by Hockney's visual stories, tales of journeys with no destination led by dreams of freedom blended with hints of majolica and unreal landscapes.
What are the must-have items in the collection?
The printed nylon jacket is the must-have item of this collection. Super practical, you can pull it out when you need it and the printed mood makes it original and unique.
In one word, what will the F/W 2013-14 season be like?
Love is in the air, we can say no more!
Any special memories linked to Pitti?
The best moments were dreaming as we watched the catwalk shows - before becoming Leitmotiv - or the great emotion we felt when we became participants ourselves. Pitti Immagine Uomo is one of the most important fairs in Italy and always features an exceptional audience - we feel truly honored to be part of this event.

Sunday Drive: Coastside Trail, Half Moon Bay
What you'll see: With one little twist, you can turn the Coastside Trail in Half Moon Bay into a sensational bike ride with a series of payoffs. The ride spans 6 miles one way, from Half Moon Bay State Beach to Pillar Point Harbor, for a 12-mile ride round trip. Bike rentals are available.
One little twist: On weekends, it can be a mistake to attempt to drive Highway 1 from Montara south past Pillar Point Harbor en route to Half Moon Bay. The section from Princeton past El Granada and Surfer's Beach often has bumper-to-bumper traffic, multiple stoplights and a lot of traffic entering the road or trying to find parking on the shoulder. Instead, avoid that and take Highway 92 and go directly to the
Coastside Trail: On one side, you get views of a series of beaches and out to sea. On the other, you can scan across the southern ridge that extends from Montara Mountain across miles of virtual wilderness. It's a flat ride, and when you start, a paved section is available for bikes and an adjacent unpaved route is for walking
Bike rentals: 7-speed Specialized, $10 per hour, $40 for 24 hours; Rockhopper mountain bike, $50 per day; WeeHoo trailers for youngsters 2 to 7, $40 per day. Info: The Bike Works, 520 Kelly Ave., Half Moon Bay; (650) 726-6708, www.bikeworkshmb.com. Closed Mondays. Located 0.8 of a mile from the entrance to Half Moon Bay State Beach and trail.
About the name: Many assume this is the California Coastal Trail and call it that. The official name, dedicated in a plaque when the route was first started in 1992, is the Coastside Trail.
Cost: State Beach parking, $10; free passage for bikes on Coastside Trail.
State-park facilities: Visitor center, restrooms with coin showers (two minutes per quarter), campground with sites for RVs, tents and RV dump station.
Dogs/rules: Leashed dogs permitted on Coastside Trail. No dogs on state beach; tickets common for offenders. No fires or collecting on state beach.
Map/brochure: PDF at state park website.
How to get there: GPS — use 520 Kelly Ave., Half Moon Bay.
Half Moon Bay State Beach: From San Francisco, the Peninsula or East Bay, drive to Highway 92, then west on Highway 92 to Crystal Springs. Continue west on Highway 92 over the causeway at Crystal Springs and drive 8 miles to Half Moon Bay and Highway 1. Turn left on Highway 1 and drive south for 0.3 of a mile (get in right lane) to Kelly Avenue. Turn right on Kelly and drive 0.7 of a mile (after Balboa, road curves to right and crosses Coastal Trail) and continue short distance to park entrance on left.
Bike rentals: In Half Moon Bay, at the junction of Highway 92 and Highway 1, take Highway 1 south 0.3 of a mile to Kelly Avenue (get in left lane). Turn left and go short distance to the Bike Works on right at 520 Kelly.
Distances: 14 miles from San Mateo, 29 miles from San Francisco, 29 miles from Hayward, 34 miles from Sausalito, 39 miles from Dublin, 41 miles from San Jose.

Take a knee…
The 2008 Football season came to a close for the Cottage Grove Lions in Sisters on Halloween night. Our team pulled through and sealed a victory over the Outlaws 30-26. It was a stereotypical 'nail-biter' and a defensive struggle. Despite the win over the once great Outlaws, we were relegated to finishing out of the playoff bracket. It has always been hard implementing a new system and this is one of the consequences. Not that we should have finished this early, I think that, as a team, we could have been destined for at least one playoff trip, if not more. But that is one of the downsides to coaching, there is only so much you can do and none of it you have any direct control over. To cap it off, this was my first group of players that I have coached since they were Freshmen. It is been a rewarding experience to see them change both athletically but also in their personalities.
I'm definitely torn. I love football and I love coaching it, hanging out with the players and the coaches is a major benefit. On the other hand, I am very pleased to get back to my workout routine that has been just slightly above nonexistent. I'll get home a little earlier, see Jess a little more, and be able to take my time and relax, if only for a little bit during the day. I'll be happy to get home, maybe read a little more… who knows, we'll see.
Faster than I can comprehend, I'm sure spring practices will be here and I'll be in the swing of it all again.

There's nothing quite like a song with a strong, lively beat —one that makes us want to move our body. Let me hear a Bruno Mars or Justin Timberlake song and this girl thinks she can dance. Whether we're tapping fingers or swaying side-to-side, our basic response to the rhythm of a song is some form of movement.
Life can be very much like a dance. There is a pace — a rhythm to it. In Matthew 11:28-30 (MSG) Jesus asks us to follow His lead and to allow Him to set the pace for our lives:
"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with Me and work with Me —watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."
Jesus' encouragement to "walk with Him and learn the unforced rhythms of grace" is His desire for us to move in the power of suppleness and to live the life He's called us to. It is an invitation to all who may experience religion, pain, stress, burnout or exhaustion to live freely and in wholeness.
How's your rhythm these days? What "music" is blaring in your ears in this season? Who or what is setting the pace to life? Are hectic schedules and diverse demands framing your life? Is fear or pain paralyzing you from moving forward?
Jesus' invitation is the choreography to facing challenging situations or living through an ordinary day. He reminds us His yoke is easy and His burden is light. He is asking us to attach, to join ourselves to Him, and to walk in step with Him. When we are yoked to Him, He carries most of the weight and that allows us to rest. When we take on His yoke, then He will set the pace for our lives. Religion won't do that for us — it only adds burdens we were never meant to carry. It's only through a personal, intimate relationship with Jesus where this grace is revealed to and through us.
What if every time we step into a situation or crisis, our gait is smooth, never clumsy nor awkward? Just imagine if our peaceful composure is the expression of hope desperately needed by a stranger we may meet. Our alignment in Jesus will grace us for any circumstance life throws our way.
"So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life — your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life –– and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for Him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what He wants from you, and quickly respond to it." Romans 12:1-2 (MSG)
For the last several months, I have watched friends face numerous life-altering events: a cancer diagnosis, the responsibility of caring for an elderly parent, health setbacks, family tension, the sudden, unexpected loss of a father, and a husband with Alzheimer's being rescued after leaving their home in the middle of the night. Each friend walked through his/her situation with grace — that flexibility to move in God's strength. Their lives have taught me again that establishing and maintaining this rhythm of grace leads to living in a unexplainable peace and wholeness.
So, how are your moves these days? Are they awkward, chaotic, and totally out of step? If so, Jesus is waiting to take the lead and teach you the unforced rhythms of grace.

When I phoned the Old Man to get him to take his morning medication, he told me that he did not have any half tablets [of gliclazide] ready.
I impressed upon him that during the daytime, he must cut several gliclazide tablets in half, and put the halves into his little plastic bottle.
In the evening, he assured me that he had taken a half tablet of gliclazide earlier that day.

Cupcake Challenge is a mode in Custom Night for Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location. In this mode, you must deal with Ballora, Funtime Freddy, Funtime Foxy, Bonnet, Electrobab, Funtime Lolbit, and the first variation of Minireena.
- As with other modes, keep a mix of being on and off-camera. When off-camera, keep an eye for Bonnet and Lolbit.
- Use your keyboard or mouse and type in "LOL" on your keyboard or pad above the desk in front of the player to deactivate Lolbit.
- Listen closely for audio cues such as Ballora's music or Funtime Freddy's dialogue.
- Keep administering controlled shocks on Minireena and Electrobab, as to not unnecessarily drain power or oxygen.
- This preset is in a similar fashion to the same mode from FNaF 2.
- This preset is the second-hardest, being trumped only by Golden Freddy, which is also a custom night preset from FNaF 2.

Thomas was born with traumatic injuries to his lungs and kidneys, resulting in a chronic lung disease and a chronic kidney disease. Because of his diseases, Thomas had to have a tracheostomy and needs a ventilator to help him breathe. Thomas has to constantly be monitored, as the apparatus he uses could become dislodged or blocked which can lead to severe injury or even death.
Despite his condition, Thomas is a loving and happy child. He especially likes spending time with his family. Thomas loves fish and other aquatic life. While he can't go swimming, Thomas still likes to play in shallow water kiddie pools. Thomas had always wanted to go to the Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay, because he loves aquatic life and his mom took his brother while he was in the hospital. Kids Wish Network flew Thomas and his family to Las Vegas to make his dream come true of visiting the Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay. Thomas's wish began when he and his family arrived at the Embassy Suites by Hilton, where they rested up for his aquarium adventure.
The next day, Thomas and his family drove to the Shark Reef Aquarium and found a special surprise visitor waiting for them. Thomas spent the rest of the day exploring the many exhibits of the Shark Reef Aquarium with his family. They had a wonderful time and made many happy memories. After their fish filled day, Thomas and his family enjoyed a delicious dinner at the Rainforest Café. Thomas and his family were greeted by the manager who had a special gift for Thomas. Thomas and his family were then escorted to a reserved table where they had a wonderful meal. The manager even had a special surprise for Thomas.
Kids Wish Network would like to thank the following sponsors for making Thomas' dreams become a reality:
- Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay
- The Rainforest Café
- Embassy Suites by Hilton

More and more retailers like Amazon, Wayfair, Zappos and others; including traditional brick and mortar stores, are becoming EDI compliant. Partners of ours, B2BGateway are a GS1 accredited, leading global EDI provider. Louisa Gooding from B2BGateway took us through a webinar on 'How to reduce costs by improving supply chain efficiency'.
Firstly, what is EDI?
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the exchange of data, in a standardised format, between trading partners - electronically.
Depending on your trading partners they will require specific documents and communications to complete EDI transactions online. This can get complicated when each of your trading partners requires different documents and adhere to different standardizations.
When you decide to exchange EDI documents, you must agree on a specific EDI standard and version. Businesses typically use an EDI translator – either as in-house software or via an EDI service provider like B2BGateway – to translate the EDI format so the data can be used by your own software systems, making processing documents streamlined and efficient.
- More about EDI and how to improve your supply chain processes
- Where EDI fits into the marketplace and what it means for online retailers
- How to become EDI compliant with Trading Partner requirements
Watch the B2BGateway 'Learn how to reduce costs by improving supply chain efficiency' webinar and learn how you can become EDI efficient. Also, check out Louisa's 'Top 5 Advantages of using EDI'.

5 Tips for Completing the 2018–2019 FAFSA
5 Tips for Completing the 2019–2020 FAFSA
There is money available to help pay for education after high school, but you have to apply for financial aid. All students should submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA becomes available each year on October 1 and is used by all schools to award federal and state financial aid which includes federal student loans. Many schools also use the FAFSA to award their institutional financial aid. Here are five tips to help you file the FAFSA:
1. Get an FSA ID
The FSA ID is the user name and password students will use to access all Federal Student Aid websites, including FAFSA.gov. All students need an FSA ID. If parent information is required on the FAFSA, one parent will also need to create an FSA ID to sign the FAFSA. We strongly recommend getting FSA IDs ahead of time. Each FSA ID takes about 10 minutes to create.
Get Your FSA ID

to keep track of your FSA ID information.
2. File your FAFSA at FAFSA.gov
This is the official FAFSA website. The website was recently updated with a new look with the following homepage.
Filing the FAFSA is FREE! Don't pay to file the FAFSA or use any other website to file your FAFSA.
File the FAFSA
Need help filing your FAFSA? Plan to attend one of
FAME's In-Person FAFSA Help Sessions
3. List at least one school on your FAFSA
When filing the FAFSA, at least one school must be listed in the School Selection section. We recommend listing any school that you are even potentially interested in attending (up to 10 schools). Additional schools can be added later by going back into the FAFSA at FAFSA.gov and adding (or replacing) a school in the School Selection section.
4. Use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool
When filing the FAFSA, most parents and students who filed federal taxes will be able to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (IRS DRT). If presented with the opportunity to use the IRS DRT, please do so--it will ensure that your tax information is accurate and make the rest of the process easier. Have a copy of your 2017 federal tax return handy when completing the FAFSA, so that you can enter your address exactly as it appears on your 2017 tax return. For privacy protection, the data transferred will not be visible (except to the schools) and fields will be updated to say, "Transferred from the IRS." Your 2017 wages will not transfer from the IRS, so be sure you have your 2017 W2s available.
5. File your FAFSA every year
You must file the FAFSA each year to be considered for financial aid. After the first year, filing the FAFSA is even easier as much of your information will be carried forward and will only need to be updated.

Western Province senior professional coach Rassie Erasmus will be part of the Springboks management team at the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand later this year.
Outgoing WP Rugby chairperson Pat Kuhn confirmed to the Cape Times that the former Springbok will be one of the Springbok assistant coaches.
Kuhn added that Erasmus would return to his role with Western Province in 2012.
Springbok coach Peter de Villiers will confirm Erasmus's appointment when he names a 49-strong provisional Rugby world cup training squad in Wellington on Wednesday.
"Letting Rassie join the Bok management is something that was asked of us, so we are doing it for the country," Kuhn who is now part of SARU's executive council told the Cape Times.

Is it just us, or has free music got a lot better recently? I suppose that's what you get when the general consensus is to live a thoroughly digital life, where music is valued as a right of passage.. instead of an investment. Like do you remember the days when you could go into WHSmiths and buy a music magazine that was relevant to your interests.
Anyway, before our collective eyes become far too misty to see the download link above – this is a slice of goodness from memotone. We suggest you grab like you bought it right away, there's an alternatively link right here with an extra track.. thoroughly decent!
