Health Foods That Require a Second Glance
If you're making your health a priority in 2018, bravo to you! To start your healthy eating meal plan off right, hit the produce section so you can load up on fruits and vegetables. But before you head to the other aisles to restock your pantry, you may want to reconsider a few of these traditional health foods that could potentially have negative effects on your body. As it turns out, some aren't as good for you as they may appear.
Fish, for example, is often a healthy pick, but the way some varieties are produced can be problematic. The same holds for packaged goods made with soy. These plant-based products are a boon to vegetarians and vegans alike, but sometimes chemicals added during the processing of these foods can diminish their health quotient.
Reading labels is key when it comes to choosing healthy foods. Yogurt, for example, is high on shopping lists because it often contains probiotics, or good bacteria. These microorganisms combat bad bacteria in your gut and can help to promote good health in the digestive tract. But buying yogurt without these live active cultures, or picking a brand with too much sugar, won't do you any favors, especially if you're counting carbs.
"Some yogurts are like candy in a container," points out Bonnie Taub-Dix, RDN, creator of BetterThanDieting.com and author of Read It Before You Eat It. "You can't expect to have zero carbs when you're choosing a yogurt, because some of the sugar comes from lactose. But it's important to check the labels to see how much sugar you're really getting in that little cup," she warns.
Your best pick? Plain Greek yogurt, which is packed with protein and fewer sugars than other yogurt types. "A single serving of Greek yogurt has almost twice as much protein as the regular kind, which is important if you're watching what you eat in the new year, as it'll help keep you fuller longer," says Taub-Dix. Just be sure to choose the unflavored variety, and add your own fruit or other toppings, she recommends. Greek-style yogurt can show up on your plate at any point during the day — it's that versatile. "It's the perfect combination of good taste, convenience, and healthy ingredients, all for a relatively low price," she adds.
Ready to grab a cart and shop smart this year? Here are seven health foods that warrant a closer look before you purchase them.
Farm-Raised Salmon That May Contain Pesticides
Why You Should Exercise Caution Farmed salmon has gotten a lot of flack lately because it's primarily farmed in open net pens that are vulnerable to infection from disease and parasites — so they're sometimes treated with very high levels of antibiotics and pesticides.
And that's not all. "Farmed fish may be smaller, lower in mercury, and cheaper," says Taub-Dix. "But it may also have more fat and store more polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in its fat, which has been linked to an increased risk for cancer. Wild fish, on the other hand, may have a lower concentration of PCBs, but may be higher in mercury."
Bottom Line There's still room for salmon in your shopping cart. "The benefits of eating fish far outweigh these risks," explains Taub-Dix. "Try to avoid fish with high mercury content, and remove visible fat and skin. A great alternative is to look for canned wild salmon that's available all year long. You can find it in your local supermarket."
The Connection Between Veggie Burgers and Hexane
Why You Should Exercise Caution The Cornucopia Institute, a farm policy research group, issued a report in 2010 highlighting the wide use of a toxic and environmentally damaging chemical, hexane, in the manufacturing of "natural" soy foods, like veggie burgers, nutrition bars, and protein shakes. Hexane is used to separate whole soybeans into soy oil, protein, and fiber. It's prohibited in organic food processing, yet is used in the "natural" soy industry.
Bottom Line Figure out what's in your favorite veggie burger. "Really read the ingredient list and look for veggie burgers that have whole, real ingredients," advises Taub-Dix. "Since the jury is still out on hexane, look for products that contain whole soy instead of soy protein."
Egg Substitutes With Chemical Additives
Why You Should Exercise Caution Many people choose packaged egg substitutes instead of real eggs to help lower their cholesterol. These products boast that they're made up of mostly egg whites, but after manufacturers remove the yolk, many add back in the vitamins and minerals found in the yolk of an egg — with other chemicals, like natural flavoring, spices, and more.
Bottom Line If you're concerned about additives, leave the egg substitutes on the shelf and consume a mix of whole eggs and egg whites. Eggs aren't as bad for you as you might think, and the true culprit for added cholesterol is probably the bacon and butter on your plate. "Eggs are one of the best sources of protein and contain many other beneficial nutrients," says Taub-Dix.
If you need to avoid egg yolks, Taub-Dix advises looking for egg whites instead. These days, you can buy prepackaged egg whites — they should be the only ingredient — and add your own seasoning.
Microwave Popcorn That's Loaded With Sodium
Why You Should Exercise Caution Many microwaveable popcorn bags are coated with perfluorochemicals (PFCs) to prevent oil from soaking through the bag, which some studies suggest may be linked to an increased risk for certain cancers.
Bottom Line "Honestly, the biggest issue with microwave popcorn is the high sodium and trans and saturated fat content," says Taub-Dix. Avoid microwave popcorn altogether and instead buy organic kernels you can pop on the stove.
Cereal Bars and Processed Protein Bars
Why You Should Exercise Caution Some cereal bars can contain butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) or butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), which prevents rancidity in fats, oils, and oil-containing foods. The European Food Safety Authority has found them to have adverse effects in rats, though the FDA still considers these food additives as "generally recognized as safe." The consumer group Center for Science in the Public Interest advises taking caution when choosing foods with BHT, and avoiding foods with BHA.
You also may want to be cautious when it comes to protein bars; some bars can contain soy protein isolate. The chemical process used to isolate protein from the rest of the soybean often leaves behind toxic substances, like aluminum, hexane, and nitrites. They can also contain fractionated or hydrogenated palm kernel oil, which is an unhealthy trans fat commonly found in bars with chocolate or flavored icing.
Bottom Line Avoid bars that have a long list of ingredients you don't recognize, especially if you're eating these bars every day. "I recommend Kind bars," says Taub-Dix. "When you look at them, you can actually see the ingredients, like almonds, dried cranberries, and other fruits and nuts. They do not contain a lot of sugar, and the fat is from nuts, not added fats."
Brown Rice and Dangerous Arsenic Levels
Why You Should Exercise Caution Health nuts across the country swap out brown rice for white rice, thinking it's the better choice. But in some ways, both brown and white rice are the same. An analysis released in 2012 by Consumer Reports revealed arsenic levels in rice and rice products, and the results created a cause for concern: Rice is more contaminated than other grains because it absorbs arsenic from soil and water more readily. The FDA is currently researching what can be done about this issue, but in the meantime advises that you eat a well-balanced diet.
Bottom Line Avoid consuming rice or rice products every day. "Balance and variety in your diet is the key to this issue," explains Taub-Dix. Also, keep an eye out for foods sweetened with rice syrup, as these may contain arsenic. "Rice contains valuable nutrients and can be part of a healthy diet, but you shouldn't eat it every day. Swap rice for whole wheat pasta or potatoes with the skin on."
The Harmful Ingredients in Many Diet Sodas
Why You Should Exercise Caution When it comes to potential cancer risk, it doesn't matter if you're drinking diet or regular soda. A study published in February 2015 in the journal PLoS One that was conducted by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore analyzed soda consumption data to determine people's exposure to a potentially carcinogenic ingredient: 4-methylimidazole (4-MEI), which is commonly used to manufacture some kinds of caramel coloring. A large percentage of people over age 6 have at least one can of soda per day, exposing them to this potentially harmful ingredient. There is currently no federal limit for the amount of 4-MEI in soda.
Bottom Line Put down the soda already! Just because it's diet doesn't mean it's healthier for you. "Besides having zero calories, it has no nutritional value and it could lead to gastrointestinal discomfort, bloat, and perhaps even cause some people to eat more," says Taub-Dix. This study is just another reason to quit this bad habit.

Budget airline Ryanair has added another charge to its plethora of fees, claiming that by doing so it is complying with Office of Fair Trading rules designed to make airline prices more transparent.
From 30 November all passengers who pay by credit card will be charged a 2% "processing fee". This comes just weeks after the airline announced UK passengers would no longer be able avoid the £6 admin fee by paying with a Ryanair Mastercard.
The £6 fee, which was applied to debit and credit card customers, will be included in the advertised price of a single flight, meaning a family of four currently paying £320 for four return flights will see the advertised cost of those flights increase by £48 to £368. If they pay by credit card they will now also incur an extra £7.36 charge.
The airline is allowed to introduce the card processing fee despite an OFT crackdown on confusing airline prices, as long as it makes it clear to customers at the point of payment.
In June 2011, the OFT called on the government to ban "rip-off" surcharges levied on debit and credit card transactions by travel companies, after it found considerable evidence of "drip pricing" practices.
At the time Ryanair denied its £6 "admin fee" was a card charge in all but name and claimed it would not therefore be affected by any crackdown on such fees. However, in July 2012 the airline and 11 others agreed after much protest to include debit card surcharges in the headline ticket price rather than surprise consumers at the end of the booking process.
They also agreed to make surcharges for credit cards clearer and easier to find during the booking process.
Ryanair will, from tomorrow, add the £6 fee to the upfront cost of a single flight and add an extra 2% credit card charge fee at the end of the booking process.
"To cover our credit card processing costs and to comply with the UK OFT's recent ruling we are introducing a 2% credit card handling fee from 30 November 2012," the airline's spokesman Stephen McNamara said.
"Passengers can avoid credit card fees by paying for their ultra-low fares with a debit card or a German ELV transfer."
An ELV transfer is an electronic transfer system that can be used by anyone with a German bank account.
The OFT said it had not told any airline they must introduce new payment charges, increase their credit card charges or scrap any discounts.
"We took action to make sure debit card charges are included in the headline price and are transparent and not sprung on shoppers towards the end of the booking process," a spokeswoman said.

Improving Opioid Safety and Quality Measures in Nursing Homes to Enhance Residents' Quality of Life
Opioids can cause a number of negative effects, particularly in older adults, as they are more susceptible to adverse effects of pain medication. Opioids can contribute to the worsening of nursing homes' quality measures, including, but not limited to, bladder and bowel incontinence, falls and decreased ability to perform activities of daily living, leading to a decline in the resident's quality of life.
In 2016, Qsource launched a targeted pilot project in Tennessee, Alabama and Kentucky to help nursing homes tailor pain treatment to each resident's needs and in turn improve incontinence among the residents. By the end of the project, the six participating homes surpassed their goals with a 12 percent decrease in the number of residents on opioids, an increase of 27 percent in the number of specific opioid indications from the prescriber, and almost a 3.5 percent decrease in residents with incontinence.
"We wanted to improve safe opioid usage for nursing homes residents because they frequently experience adverse drug events, resulting in hospital stays and readmissions," said Amanda Ryan, PharmD, BCGP. "In addition, it allowed us to leverage efficiencies across our organization and introduce medication safety practices as a way to improve quality measures in nursing homes."
It is not unusual for nursing home residents to report pain to their caregivers. The same residents may have one or more prescriptions for opioid medications. Opioids are commonly prescribed for pain, but, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), opioids are not indicated as first-line or routine therapy for the treatment of chronic pain.
The CDC published the CDC Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain in March 2016. The Guideline focuses on the use of opioids in treating chronic pain (pain lasting longer than three months or past the time of normal tissue healing) outside of active cancer treatment, palliative care and end-of-life care. Improving the way opioids are prescribed through clinical practice guidelines can ensure patients have access to safer, more effective chronic pain treatment while reducing the number of people who misuse, abuse or overdose from these drugs.
Qsource is focused on improving medication safety for people with Medicare, including those taking opioids. Reducing adverse drug events (ADEs) due to opioids, along with hospital readmissions is a top priority. Across the Qsource five-state region, there were more than 518,000 people with Medicare taking opioids and at least two other medications in 2017. Among those people, there were nearly 345,000 hospital admissions, almost 22,000 people experienced an opioid-related ADE, and almost 74,000 people were re-admitted to the hospital within 30 days of discharge.1
Connecting the Dots
Qsource quality improvement advisors recruited nursing homes interested in medication safety for the pilot project in early 2016. Together, they identified incontinence as a top opportunity for improvement in their facilities and recognized opioids as a contributing factor.
"The nursing homes had expressed that they were interested in working on medication safety and needed a new approach to decrease bladder and bowel control issues. So we decided to look into how we could impact incontinence by improving opioid use," said Lindsey Jett, CPhT, MALT.
Participants began to meet regularly with their Qsource advisors to assess current rates of opioid use and how the homes could implement the CDC's new opioid guidelines. They identified opportunities in the nursing homes where there were gaps between the guidelines and current prescriptions for residents who were not receiving hospice, end of life or active cancer treatment.
"We asked for input from the participating homes on which aspect of this project they would like to address first," said Sarah Sutherland, RT(R), MBA. "We settled on making sure that the residents had a specific indication for the use of the opioid documented in their charts."
The specific indication helps nursing home staff apply the CDC guidelines by determining if opioids are the most appropriate therapy for treating a resident's pain. The CDC recommends other therapies in place of or in addition to opioids for chronic pain.
Narrowing the Focus
The homes gathered data on a sample of their residents and included which opioid they were taking, how often, the indication for use and other treatments used in addition to opioids. Qsource advisors found that most residents' indications were very vague – for example, indications like "pain", "generalized pain" and "chronic pain" were noted in their charts.
"There was potential for some residents to have their opioids reduced or stopped. We worked with the nursing homes to manage pain with alternatives like physical therapy or over-the-counter pain relievers, in addition to or instead of opioids" said Ryan.
After baseline measures were in place, the participants set some goals for the pilot project. They aimed to reduce the number of residents on opioids by 10 percent, increase the number of specific opioid indications by 10 percent, and reduce the number of residents suffering from incontinence by 10 percent.
Taking Action
Staff in the participating homes put what they learned into action. In order to ensure every resident taking an opioid had a specific indication for use, nursing home staff reviewed all their current opioid orders and documented those indications in the residents' charts. They consulted with the physicians, nurses, residents and family members to identify the source of a resident's pain. Qsource advisors recommended using a checklist when a resident was transferred from the hospital to ensure that accurate information was gathered from the beginning of each admission to the nursing home.
Implementation was not always easy. There was some resistance from nursing home staff due to survey concerns.
"They were concerned that if the indication on the order was specific then the nurses might give the opioid for another reason if a patient was having pain," said Sutherland. "If they kept the indication vague that would be a safer option."
Qsource advisors overcame this barrier by educating them on the importance of knowing the source of the pain in order to treat it appropriately. Staff learned that the prescribed opioid may not be the best option for a resident's other complaints. It is important to investigate new pain, so having specific indications alerts the nursing home staff quickly to changes in a resident's condition.
One-on-one technical assistance meetings with nursing home staff were vital according to Sutherland. Sitting down with the teams and discussing specific examples helped illustrate to staff how to achieve their goals and the positive impacts the changes would have on their residents.
Advisors also battled the mindset that opioids are the only option for pain. This belief was a part of the homes' cultures and difficult to change, according to Jett.
"We educated the staff on opioid use, that the risks are high, that evidence is lacking for opioid use in chronic pain, and that there are options for acute pain that are equally or more effective than opioids," said Jett. "We helped them think outside the box as to what other treatments might be safer and more effective."
Recommendations for pain treatment that did not involve opioids were shared with the nursing home staff while following the CDC guidelines and maintaining pain treatment as the number one focus.
Developing Tools
Nazareth Home Clifton in Louisville, KY worked with Qsource advisors to develop a 'Menu of Personal Comfort Items' to distribute to their residents. The brochure included a short pain assessment for the resident to complete and a list of 'comfort items' available like a visit from a therapy animal, a massage or a warm blanket. The nursing home staff used this menu as a way to promote alternatives to medication for discomfort and pain.
Using this resource, along with full participation in the pilot project, Nazareth Home Clifton decreased the number of residents on opioids from 42 percent to 30 percent. They also greatly reduced the number of residents with incontinence.
"We've made significant progress in our quality efforts," said Lisa Biddle-Puffer, Administrator for Nazareth Home Clifton in Louisville. "We really appreciate our advisor's leadership and guidance. There are more opportunities to improve, but this success has motivated us to keep at it."
Nazareth Home will receive the Innovation in Care award from LeadingAge at the upcoming annual meeting in Kentucky based on their efforts with the Qsource Performance Improvement Project (PIP) on opioids and their use of the Comfort Menus. The mission of the LeadingAge organization is to be the trusted voice for aging in America. LeadingAge is at the forefront of innovative practices that transform how they serve the aging population, cutting-edge initiatives to develop services that meet older adults' needs, and preferences and advocacy to advance the interest of the aging consumer.
Seeing Results
The pilot project was successful with improvement in all three of the goal measures established at the beginning. The participants achieved a 12 percent decrease in the number of residents on opioids, an increase of 27 percent in the accuracy of opioid indications from the prescriber, and almost a 3.5 percent decrease in residents with incontinence.
Looking Forward
The next phase of this project includes implementing these same strategies with another group of nursing homes across Qsource's five states. The team is also developing an implementation guide so more providers can work to improve safe use of opioids and quality measures scores in their nursing homes on their own timeline with technical assistance provided by Qsource advisors.
"It's great to see everyone's hard work pay off," said Sutherland. "We moved the needle, but most importantly we improved the lives of more than 500 seniors through this pilot project. Imagine the impact we could have as we spread what we've learned here."

Candidate markers for gastric cancer
The sequencing of the human genome has opened the door for proteomics by providing a sequence-based framework for mining proteomes. As a result, there is intense interest in applying proteomics to foster a better understanding of cancer processes, develop new biomarkers for diagnosis and early detection of cancer. Gastric carcinoma is one of the most common malignancies worldwide and is the most common cause of cancer-related death in China. The main barrier for improving survival rate is short of useful marker for early diagnosis.
A research article to be published on October 7, 2008 in the World Journal of Gastroenterology addresses this question. The research team led by Professor Liu from Ruijin Hospital of China isolated and identified differentially expressed proteins between cancer and normal tissues of gastric cancer by 2-DE and MALDI-TOF-MS.
Total proteins were isolated from tumor and normal tissues and then separated by 2-DE. Differentially expressed proteins were isolated and identified by MALDI-TOF or MALDI-TOF-TOF-MS. Twenty three differentially expressed proteins were found between tumor and normal tissues of gastric cancer, among these fifteen proteins were identified. These differential proteins will be candidate markers for gastric cancer. It may be useful for diagnosis, treatment target and prognosis.

What Is School Management System Software School administration software helps educational institutions by automating regular administrative tasks. Also known as "student information systems," these offer a range of functionality for everything from applications to student performance monitoring.
management school software
Billing and invoicing
Integrated learning management systems (LMSs)
Tools for administrators to evaluate teachers
Parent portals for checking students' attendance and grades
Reporting and analytics capabilities
Library management tools
Point-of-sale (POS) functionality for managing cafeteria and other sales
Fundraising capabilities
Electronic health records (EHR) tools for onsite nurses and clinics
Note that some vendors offer integrated suites of software that feature several of the aforementioned applications, while other vendors offer standalone or "best-of-breed" individual applications. There are several advantages and disadvantages to each approach. In general, fully integrated suites of software will be able to cover most of your bases and you won't have to worry about integrating certain applications with each other.
However, integrated suites can have fewer features within each of their individual applications, whereas standalone best-of-breed applications tend to be more fully featured. The downside with relying on a mix of best-of-breed applications is that you might have to have certain integrations custom built, which can add to the price tag. That said, one key advantage to relying on best-of-breed applications is that it will give your school more flexibility in the event that one application needs to be upgraded or switched out for something else. With integrated suites, you often have to upgrade or replace the system on a cyclical basis
school management software 2019
Let's look at the top 16 features every Student Information System should provide. Not all applications are the same. So here are the most important features that every Student Information System or School Management System should provide.
Education institutions should now consider performing all activities in the cloud. Having cloud-based Student Information System with no local on-premise footprint of server or software means less time and money spent on IT and more on broader education priorities.
Data is useless without any insight and predictive analysis. Student Information System should make the best of all the data entry that happens every day. The best software applications can even predict student behaviors analyzing by tracking critical data of students and the institutions.
Student Information Systems should provide access to companies so they can view and offer projects, internships and graduate jobs to students. Today Classe365 is the only application that offers this feature.
Student Information System needs to be integrated with robust alerting and communication systems to alert students, parents or teachers on emergencies and key events. Alerts need to be triggered on key events like the student being absent, broadcasting. Today there are also social network features for students and parents to collaborate together.
Why keep bundles of files while all the data can be saved smartly. Instant search makes this data easily accessible. By using student information systems and school software you can manage all this and much more.
Only a few student information systems offer true accounting functionality. Tracking institution's day to day expenses and income, keeping all records of the fee received and the defaulters will make work easier for education institutions. If possible stay away from accounting software that doesn't talk to a student information system.
Manage the Lab inventory using IA. Know exactly about the chemicals, instruments are required and when.
Each student, his/her parents, Teacher, Staff members, and management will have a separate login to access the desired information. So you can know all the things for every single student, his/her parents, Teacher, Staff members.
Manage all the vehicles like bus, cars and transport vehicles that are used for transportation purpose. It can help in route description in association with the particular student, teachers, and staff members.
Look for the student information system that can manage the day to day attendance of all the students easily. This helps in minimize proxies and paperwork. Some Student Information Systems like Classe365 also sends automated SMS and email alerts when students are absent from classes.
This module will allow you to manage all type of exams like a unit test, half yearly test, and the final examination. It will enable you to announce your results faster via SMS and Email alerts.
Managing all the information about rooms, goods, a mess was never easier. Now, minimize waste and track all the actions of the hostel.
Find, Search, Issue and Return books are the basic features of this module. It will generate auto reports for the book condition, likeliness among students, fine collected, etc.
It will help in communication on individual and group basis. Their attendance, Salary, and other expenses can be tracked.
Management needs to informed at all times on every aspect of institution performance. Student Information System needs to have intuitive dashboards that represent key metrics of education institution performance.
Alumni network of any school is powerful and influential. Schools, colleges and universities need to proactively manage alumni network. This doesn't have to be complicated. Always select a Student Information System that provides an ability to interact with the Alumni network with features like fundraising, membership programs, inter-alumni social interactions, business exchange, and job boards.

I've raised this on another section of the forum but since it wasn't under iPad I will raise it here.
When I try to upload a csv file from my laptop it caused HanDBase to crash on iPad. The link screen opens on the iPad and the correct screen appears in the browser. When you enter the csv filename and enter a database name then press upload the crash occurs on the iPad.
Is there any other way of uploadin a csv file?

The Aim of a Phone Interview
The main purpose of a phone interview is to act as a 'screening' process from which the company can assess who are likely going to be the most promising candidates for the job role or internship placement offered. A potential candidate will only usually be offered a phone interview if they have proven to the company through a submitted job application accompanied by their resume (CV) that the candidate at least meets their minimum requirements of the role. Hence, the 'screening' process (phone interview) is simply carried out in order to gain further additional information surrounding the candidate (which is discussed below) and to verify what has been interpreted in the application and resume. Simply, can the candidate actually match in reality, what they have said on paper? The actual purpose of a phone interview isn't normally about landing the job or internship placement there and then, it is more about impressing in the phone interview enough, in order to give you that 'pass' into the next stage -- usually a face to face interview, which then gives you the chance to land the job.
What Will a Phone Interviewer Want to Find Out About You?
There are a range of aspects an interviewer will want to find out about you in a phone interview, some of which may be totally specific to the job role you are applying for (e.g. specific computing skills), and for others it will be more general (e.g. personality). What they are looking for exactly -- is dependent on the recruiter and the actual defined purpose of the phone interview (e.g. competency based phone interview, technical question based interview). Below is a rather 'tongue in cheek' list of the kind of factors and issues, the phone interviewer may be looking to find.
1. They Want to Assess Your Technical Ability - the phone interviewer may want to assess your technical ability through asking specific technical questions related to that specific job role , and will be impressed on how comprehensively you can answer those sort of questions provided -- sort of like a verbal examination, with a rather subjective mark scheme.
Tip: Usually in an E-mail (or some form of notification) you will know the style of interview questions that are going to be asked -- if they state it will be a technical based phone interview, this is obviously a good indication, that to prepare you may need to brush up and revise on some of the role's techniques and activities that are specified in the job description.
2. Query about Your Work Experience and Qualifications - for example they may want to find out more about you and the resume (CV) that you have submitted in. Clarifying details of how long you performed role X, and perhaps want you to elaborate about the responsibilites and activities you undertook whilst working there. Moreover, they may not know what a particular qualification you have passed -- fully entails and want you to expand upon why it is a useful qualification to have in the role you are applying for.
Tip: Be sure to have a printed copy of your resume (CV), cover letter and job application close to hand in your phone interview, so you are up to speed as to exactly what they are reffering to and can provide confirmation of any details they are curious about or aid them in filling in holes in the application.
3. Behavioural and Competency Based Questions - they may want to assess you as a person, your particular competencies and your future potential performance. By getting you to provide through examples answers to questions (e.g. "Can you provide me an example when you had to lead a team?") the recruiter can judge how well suited you are for the particular job currently, as well as predicting your performance level in the future based on your presented past examples -- whether or not you are a high performer, if you have performed well in the past you are likely to perform well in the future as well.
Tip: When prepairing for telephone interview competency questions make sure you have undertaken research of the company's website, identified their key competencies and then script and prepare several specific examples and stories to each one.
4. Assess Your Communication Skills - one of the key aspects a phone interviewer is looking for when conducting your phone interview is how you actually come across -- which is often judged to be your communication ability -- considered to be a vital component of a successful employee for many companies.
Tip: Make sure you get your phone interview off to a great start by making sure the phone interview greeting goes perfectly, it has been said that a phone interviewer will judge whether you pass or not in just under 30 seconds of the greeting.
5. Are You Right for the Company? - generally speaking they want to assess your personality and mentality. They are trying to decide how well you came across in the interview and whether you are 'right' for the company's interest in general. Essentially do you tick the boxes in terms of character and ability?
Tip: If you are going to be taking a phone interview then I have to recommend you the two following books on how to be a telephone interview master and acing it -- firstly 'The Essential Phone Interview Handbook' and secondly '101 Great Answers to the Toughest Interview Questions' be sure to at least check them out. Both are truly a great investment, and will be sure to take your phone interview performance to the next level or two, possibly more.
As said above, although the list above is rather 'tongue in cheek', as the objective of a phone interview will differ slightly from company to company, hopefully you will now have a better basic understanding of what the actual point of the phone interview is. If you have any additional remarks regarding the purpose of a phone interview then I encourage you to please a share comment below.

Your Ego is a crappy marketing coach.
What do I mean by that?
Your Ego's job is to keep you "playing small" so that you're always safe.
However, to grow your business and market successfully, you can't play it small. You have to take risks. You have to get out of your comfort zone.
(Good marketing coaches encourage you to go bigger. Your Ego never does. See why it's a crappy marketing coach?)
I hope you'll take time to check out this week's marketing strategy, because it's an important part of your marketing mindset.
If you want to succeed, you'll follow the advice here. I promise: It will help!

ED Getting You Down? hims Has Arrived
The personal wellness platform hims is tackling erectile dysfunction with sensibility and science for the modern man.
Previously considered to be a taboo subject that guys were too embarrassed to talk about, erectile dysfunction (ED) has finally come out of the shadows and is now an essential part of dialogues relating to men's health.
And it's not just about performance. ED can be a symptom of other underlying health issues. With more than 600,000 cases diagnosed each year, ED isn't relegated to Gen X'ers. Studies have shown that 40 percent of men experience some degree of erectile dysfunction by the time they reach 40.
Fortunately, there are treatments available and platforms, such as hims, which are addressing ED for the 21st-century guy. Using modern technology and a sharp, welcoming design aesthetic, hims is a portal for personal wellness and offers a breadth of information for those who experience ED.
From clear and concise information about symptoms and causes to easy-to-order treatment options, hims is dispelling the stigma attached to ED.
EDGE had a chance to chat with hims founder Andrew Dudum about his inspiration for launching hims and how the brand differs from other online resources.
What inspired you to address erectile dysfunction as part of the launch of hims, your personal wellness platform for men?
I don't think people realize that as many as 40 percent of men experience some degree of erectile dysfunction by the age of 40. It's one of those pain points that a ton of guys faces, yet they're extremely uncomfortable talking about it. Also, until recently, there were patents in place that denied many guys access to scientifically-proven medication for ED.
We launched hims to encourage more conversations around men's well-being and provide hassle-free, affordable solutions to pain points impacting men's health. It was a no-brainer to include ED as a main product focus at launch.
Do you think men are becoming more open about talking about sexual performance?
We're starting to see a slight shift in guys' openness around discussing ED with doctors, friends, and partners, but there's still a stigma attached. On top of this valid discomfort, society tells guys that it's weird or uncommon to want to take care of themselves.
Having ED isn't a bad thing -- our goal is to approach this stigma by offering access to education around the fact that many men will face these concerns at some point in their lives. We also want to be super approachable and have found that guys answer doctors' questions in a more transparent way online versus in-person. Using telemedicine allows men to make more informed, honest decisions about their health.
What are some aspects of the hims platform that make it unique in comparison to other sources for ED information and support?
ED is just one part of our business -- as a whole, hims is a men's wellness and lifestyle brand and we aim to be the one-stop-shop for all men's self-care and wellness needs.
We also really want to be a trusted source of education, so we launched Savoir Faire, our digital journal with all the scientifically-proven information guys need to stop those late-night online searches. Guys will find hundreds of pieces of original content addressing ED, hair loss, and overall wellness.
What are your hopes for the growth of hims in regards to men's health information and products?
We plan on introducing new product categories to ensure we're continuously addressing pain points around men's personal care, grooming and health. We're offering products that are not only convenient and more affordable, but ones that men don't feel like they have to hide.
So many guys suffer in silence when it comes to concerns about wellness and we already see a shift in how hims helps start conversations in a convenient and nonjudgmental way.

During my first consulting gig many years ago, I worked with a CEO who thought having protocols for engaging with reporters was a ridiculous form of overkill, and one of the reasons his company did not get great coverage.
His solution was to make himself more available. Despite protestations from his communications team, he gave his contact details to reporters, responded to their emails, and had cozy chats with almost anyone who called him. For a while, he thought his "open door" approach was working well. The only thing missing was glowing coverage, but his view was that was just a matter of time.
Then the inevitable happened; the company had a problem. Suddenly, being on reporters' speed dial was a nightmare. There was a big spike in his emails and he quickly flipped from being an approachable, media-friendly man of the people, to a besieged senior executive who needed to focus on his day job and definitely didn't want to talk to reporters.
After changing his cell phone number and forwarding all reporter emails to the head of communications, some form of order was restored. But dealing with the problem facing the company was made much more difficult.
Reporters who thought they had developed a special relationship with the CEO reacted badly when their calls and emails were answered by members of the communications team, rather than the boss. However, outside counsel was adamant that inquiries be handled by a spokesperson for the firm and not its chief executive.
Over time, relationships with reporters and editors who followed the company were restored, and an agreement was reached about how interaction with the CEO and other senior executives should be conducted. Needless to say, the reporters understood exactly why the company had imposed new rules of engagement, and most were perfectly happy to operate in an environment that allowed them to perform their jobs effectively.
If reporters are given unfettered access to a CEO, they are not likely to complain. But, for the clear majority of companies, allowing direct access to the person running the place is not considered a good idea and can cause real problems, particularly if the CEO misspeaks or there is a crisis.
As the CEO, being too available is as bad as being unreachable. Finding the right balance requires the CEO to understand the importance of media engagement and have excellent professional communicators to give advice and manage the process. Overconfidence can lead to serious errors of judgment.

Let's face it, some healthy carrot cakes are just wannabe healthy. You find them everywhere. But this one really is, for sure. And really delicious. Plus, almost a no-brainer to make. Use it with many senior activities and parties.
Nutrition — This healthy dessert recipe really does give you some real nutrition. It's got fresh carrots, plus whole wheat pastry flour, plus nuts, not to mention honey. Raw honey, by the way, is very high in minerals – instead of having had them processed out.
Carrots, as you may know, are high in Vitamin A (good for eyes, which is good for elderly nutrition), Vitamin C and fiber. They're low in fats and are a good source for many minerals, including Thiamin, Niacin, and Potassium.
You can frost it with traditional cream cheese frosting (see below), fine coconut, whipped cream, or a sprinkling of powdered sugar.
Being naturally sweet (have you ever tried fresh carrot juice??), they are really good in a healthy dessert recipe. This healthy carrot cake can be made the really easy way – just one layer in a standard 8×8 inch cake pan, or make two round cakes for a two-layer effect. In this case, you'd want to use frosting, including between the layers. We have a yummy Cream Cheese Frosting recipe below. with a surprise garnishment.
Healthy Carrot Cake Recipe
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 tsp mace
3/8 cup oil
5/8 cup honey
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup grated fresh carrots
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 cup hot water
1/3 cup chopped nuts
1/3 cup raisins (optional)
Blend oil, spices, and honey. Add in eggs and carrots (you can get carrots pre-shredded in the grocery store, if you hate to shred). Of course, organic is always best. Or home-grown!
Add flour and water. Beat well. Add nuts and raisins if you are using them, and blend in well. Bake in greased and floured cake pan at 350 F degrees, for about 35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. This works well as muffins too!
You can use this carrot cake plain, or top with whipped cream, ice cream (or Rice Dream), or your favorite frosting. See our Cream Cheese Frosting below to go with this healthy carrot cake. Also see the following Surprise Carmelized Carrot Garnishment. Add it to the top of your whipped cream, ice cream, or frosting.
Cream Cheese Frosting
Well, okay, maybe the frosting is not quiteas healthy, because it does have powdered sugar. I'm sure, though, you could use a sugar substitute and it would still be really good. If you or a loved one has elderly issues with dietary restrictions and can't eat much sugar, you don't have to frost our healthy cake recipe. It's really good just plain! But we're including the frosting anyway.
You will need:
1/2 cup butter (1/2 stick) softened
8 oz. cream cheese
2 cups powdered sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
Blend the butter and cream cheese together. Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla, blending in well. Best to keep refrigerated if not eaten right away.
Surprise Carmelized Carrot Garnishment
Here's another very yummy addition to top off our healthy carrot cake recipe.
You will need:
1/2 cup grated carrots
1 Tablespoon of butter or margarine
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
In a pan, melt and heat the butter and brown sugar, stirring frequently. Sprinkle in and stir the cinnamon. Sprinkle the carrots into the mixture, stirring well to coat them. Cook until tender and slightly browned. Cool, and then add on top of the frosting. Also – if you want to, you can add in pecan halves and carmelize them as well. If so, you may need to increase the amount of butter and brown sugar. Another good variation is adding in a little grated coconut instead of pecans.

If anybody who loves a good film festival, check out Visions Film Festival and Conference in Wilmington, NC on March 30, 2012.
From the site:
"Hosted by the Film Studies Department at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, VISIONS is the first international film festival and conference dedicated exclusively to showcasing and celebrating the work of undergraduate filmmakers and film scholars from universities around the world. VISIONS is also the first event of its kind to be organized and programmed entirely by undergraduate film students just like you.
Students who are selected to participate in the festival and conference have the opportunity to show their film or present their research through a day of public screenings and presentations, with awards for excellence presented at the end of each event.
By bringing together undergraduate film students of such diverse backgrounds and strong passions for film in such a way, VISIONS' goal is to encourage connectivity and the spread of ideas amongst a growing global audience and industry. The VISIONS programming committee strives to unite the international community of those undergraduate filmmakers and film scholars by programming imaginative, daring and boundary-pushing work that celebrates a passion for film.
VISIONS programs works from a wide cultural spectrum and invites others to join in and explore aesthetic and conceptual values in a national and international cooperative. Each year, we look forward to working with a new, diverse group of peers with a multitude of backgrounds and interests to mutually enrich the experiences of everyone involved."

The following is a post by my great mate Paul Taylor. Or to the world, "Ticker". Paul is Assistant Principal at Penistone Grammar School, a high-achieving and popular secondary comprehensive school near Barnsley, South Yorkshire.
Do you feel it yet?
The pressure of ensuring that the students you teach secure the grades of which they are capable; the pressure of ensuring they fulfil their potential; the pressure of making sure they are exam ready. Do you feel it yet?
This year while sunning myself in Florida I was contacted by my friend and colleague Paul Crook on A-level results day about how the students I taught in AS and A2 PE had performed. I am always ready to hear how my students have performed. I am desperate for them to secure the grades they need to access the university they desire. I am desperate for them to see all their hard work, blood, sweat and tears be justified through securing or exceeding the illusive target grade, but each year I am beginning to question who is this more important to, me or them? I question the tears. Are their tears generated through the fact that A-levels are hard and consequently they have to work hard? Or do the tears fall because they are failing at some things and they just want to give up or have someone to do the graft for them?
Now at this point I am sure you can sense that I am going to go on and have a moan. You'd be right; there is a moan about to rear its ugly head in about four or five lines time! This is not because I am a cynical and miserable teacher or a 'drain' to coin one of Hywel Roberts' terms. I always try to exude positivity and development in the students I teach and the staff I work with but the more I give in time and effort, the more my students take and shelve. Surely one of my many jobs as their teacher is to give them the tools they need to succeed and begin to show them how to use them? Their responsibility is to become proficient in using them, or at least pick the bloody things up!
So who is it more important to, me or them? I want it to be them; I am beginning to think it's me, the teacher, the guy going through appraisal, the one sat in line management meetings doing exams analysis, the guy who has to suggest why these students have underachieved. While I am doing all of this they are securing their 1st or 2nd choice at university despite performing poorly. Who does it mean more to, me or them? This year one of my students was offered an unconditional offer of acceptance onto a course at a university if he made that university his first choice. This news went down like a fart in a lift when he informed me as I immediately thought, well that's going to hit my ALPS results! Are humans innately lazy and do they always look for and take the easy option?!
Last year the staff in the PE department at PGS went above and beyond for these students, support was off the page (or at least the offer of it was), access to every possible resource was provided, contact with parents was increased, additional consultation evenings were added to the department calendar, learning contracts were drawn up, intervention mapping was strategically followed, social networking (Twitter) gave students access to support throughout holidays, the offer to PGS students last year was the dog's b*****ks! There were tools everywhere but the majority didn't pick them up. The only tool of interest to some students was the spoon with which my colleagues and I were feeding them!
Now that's enough 'drain' talk because some of these students bust a gut. We had an A* in A2 PE this year and the student who got that grafted every single day of the two years in our post 16 centre. Unfortunately, that type of mindset is now becoming as rare as rocking horse sh*t amongst students!
This year things are going to be different, well at least I hope they are! This year I am going to change a culture amongst my new cohort of AS students as well as doing a little bit of an experiment! I want to create the mindset of the A* student I alluded to earlier and while I will still offer the support I did this year I will also spend time creating a culture conducive to growth.
I have spent many hours reading the work of Carol Dweck; it is fascinating but forgive me for saying, it's not rocket science! My old man is a plumber by trade although he does less now than he did when he started out! He's as rough as a bears arse and had little meaningful education in his childhood but from his childhood and into his adult life he has worked extremely hard and he's done well, very well! Big Steve was preaching Dweck's 'Mindset' to me long before Dweck herself was even writing about it. A couple of his favourites were "nowt worth achieving comes easy Ticker, coz if it did everyone would do it" and "illegitimi non carborundum Ticker" (Google the last one). The message here to me is crystal clear, if you want success you can have it, (my old man is a less glorified example of those in Dweck's literature!) but you can only have it if you work for it and when faced with adversity you 'keep at it'. Furthermore, and long before I became familiar with Dweck, a Y10 student at PGS said to me, "do you know what sir? 'Learning is Earning'". What a simple yet profound thing to say. This surely highlights the importance of the process of growth, how we truly learn from our errors and how this may be directly linked to 'earning'. What did he mean' earning'? I am pretty sure he meant money, the lad who said it was certainly not a budding psychologist or the next Carol Dweck! However, my spin on this is that 'earning' in this context and linked to Dweck's work means becoming rich in a whole array of things; money, friends, love, power, knowledge etc. 'Learning is Earning' is Dweck's Growth Mindset!
This year, 'nowt worth achieving comes easy, coz if it did everyone would do it', 'Learning is Earning' and the more sophisticated work of Dweck will be applied to my teaching and hopefully next year this blog will be much warmer and fuzzier because it will come from the real me, the 'radiator' me (another one of Hywel's)!
It has started already and I urge anyone else to do this. I have today issued home learning to my AS class that will be incredibly difficult and they will need to work extremely hard to even gain any success. In doing this and asking for information about how long they spent in trying to complete the work I should begin to identify who already displays some of characteristics of resilience. I am going to then predict after lesson one who I think will achieve or exceed target and who will fall short and disappointment me yet again. However, over the course of the year I will I bust a gut to make them want to bust a gut, I will teach them to pick themselves up when they fall and to have another 'pop' when they fail.
Watch this space!

YG is confident that he had the album of the year, and seeing that My Krazy Life was both a critical favorite, and the quintessential full length representation of the DJ Mustard sound, he's not alone. Thus, the Bompton rapper was frustrated to learn that he had been snubbed in the Best Rap Album Grammy category, taking to Twitter to give his two cents.
While the committee has a history of botching the hip hop picks, YG has made the choice to respond to his lack of acknowledgement on record with the new track, "2015 Flow". The DJ Mustard production has the rapper bragging about his 'album of the year' and plaques from his hit single, "My Nigga". He then pulls out his flows he's ready to drop on 2015, indicating that he won't stop making classic music into the new year.
Quotable Lyrics:
It's that Silicon Valley flow
I got that Sundance Vision, nigga you ain't know
God damn, I got album of the year still
Three plaques in
Imagine how these wack rappers feel

Since I started this blog, people love giving me motivational books. They are packed with great advice on how to achieve one's dreams and how to overcome obstacles, but after you've read one you've read them all. From Tony Robbins to The Secret, the same rules apply because they are truths that really work. So, I've decided to save you time and share the key tips they all have in common.
- The easiest way to make money is to tell people how to make money. Most of these motivational books start off with the author describing how they were down in the dumps but then they learned a few things, made millions of dollars, and now they're going to share those few things with you so that you too can make millions of dollars. But first, give them $29.99 so that they can share those tips. Success begets success.
- You cannot control the timeline of your success – all you can do is prepare for it. You don't know when you're going to meet a crazy inventor who loves your idea and wants to give you $50k to get started, but don't you think that investor will be more likely to give you money if you've already built a prototype and written a business plan? "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity." – Seneca
- You can't get what you want until you know what you want.You know those times when you walk into the kitchen and then realize you forgot what you wanted? You stand there like an idiot scanning every surface, hoping it will trigger your memory. When you do finally remember what it was you wanted, you see it immediately. It's usually in the most obvious place. The thing that you wanted was always there, but you won't find it until you know what it is. Start writing down what you want out of your life, and reread those lists constantly. What you want should always be on the tip of your tongue.
- Create a community of support. Find mentors who inspire you and do what they have done. Find colleagues who challenge and motivate you and give them the amount of help that you would like in return. Cherish your friends who are positive, and weed out the people who stomp on dreams or fill your life with unnecessary, distracting drama.
If you would like further reading on this matter, here is a wide variety of motivational books I'd recommend. Each of the books have an amazon link, so if you buy from the link, I'll make money and then I can achieve the first point in this post 🙂

Ottawa Citizen
Researchers tout 'smart' fertilizer
Chemical coating 'reads' the signals from plants and releases nutrients
She never planned to study fertilizers. Maria DeRosa, a chemistry professor raised in Ottawa, dreamed of designing drugs that deliver themselves directly to targets inside the human body.
Maria DeRosa in her lab at Carleton U holds a handful of soil.
A decade later she is proudly showing off the results that came when a colleague persuaded her to take a sharp turn, and to deliver "smart" fertilizers to farm crops instead.
DeRosa, from Carleton University, and Carlos Monreal of Agriculture Canada, have designed a way to make fertilizer release its nutrients when crops need them, and lock them up tight when crops don't need feeding. This prevents fertilizer from washing away unused and polluting lakes and rivers.
And the clue to it all was realizing that plants send out signals into the soil, and that DeRosa and Monreal could eavesdrop on them.
The soil under a wheat or canola field is a complex place.
"The soil has microbes and all sort of things going on that are living there," DeRosa said. For instance, a whole community of tiny fungi and bacteria interact with plant roots to help the plant absorb nutrients.
And when wheat or canola need nitrogen, they release chemicals that appear to be a sort of signal — possibly to the soil microbes, telling them to deliver the plant food.
Monreal says ordinary soil contains millions of organisms — bacteria, viruses, insects, worms, fungi — all interacting in a complex world that we don't yet understand. Some of them help plants absorb nutrients.
"We have the Hubble Telescope and we're all the time looking at the stars and galaxies. We're very good at that," he said. "But we invest so little to study what is under our feet, because it's hidden and we don't think about it."
Still, the signal was a clue to feeding plants when they need it most.
Monreal and DeRosa gave the fertilizer a chemical coating. This is the part that qualifies as a smart fertilizer: Chemicals in the coating, called aptamers, react to the "feed me" signal from wheat and canola, and they make the coating break down. This releases the plant food when the plants need it.
It can be adapted for microscopic fertilizer particles or for much larger ones.
It's estimated that farmers in Canada lose $1 billion a year in fertilizer that never reaches the crops, DeRosa said.
"I didn't even realize (at first) that this was a problem."
Yet when fertilizer washes into a body of water, it stimulates the growth of weeds and algae blooms.
At Agriculture Canada in Ottawa, Monreal is studying the signals that comes from plants, hoping to find out how many kinds there are. There's a lot still to learn.
What about home garden applications?
"Sure, tomatoes! Everyone wants to know," DeRosa said. So far, the research is just on grains, which use fertilizers on a much bigger scale. But she advises that patience will pay off for gardeners eventually.
"The mechanism should be the same."
The technique hasn't been commercialized yet, but the pair have been working with industrial partners along the way, and expect patenting and commercial production will follow.
"At the beginning this was science fiction and now we're starting to say: 'Hey, this could actually work'."
But she is also excited to think that the lessons from a wheat field could lead to drug delivery and more uses of smart chemicals, such as delivering a drug to a cancer cell and not to a healthy cell.
"From a science point of view the applications are so broad."

Star Trek depicts a balanced human society where technology is mainly used to enhance their quality of life. The opposite is true in a large portion of the sci-fi universe known as dystopian futures. The evolution toward excessive "optimization" of societies that dominate every aspect of human life, sentient technology or rapid advances in non-sentient technology may lead to radical changes in the social order, dehumanization, totalitarian governments, environmental disaster or other cataclysmic events.
A dystopia is a community or society that is in some fundamental way undesirable or frightening. In order to continue to be human and not a robot, the individual needs to preserve certain degree of unattached intricacy essential to his different biosocial rank. Loss of our emotional depth, independent thought and power to choose freely will lead to the destruction of our humanity. Lower standards of living, or pleasure-packed but emotionally barren lives will result ("Lots of love-making, but no love").
"You Maniacs! You Blew It Up! Oh, Dawn You! Goddawn You All To Hell!"
At the top of this list one have to place the truly original, shocking, visceral, chaotic, modern-primitive and utterly unpredictable score of Planet of the Apes (1967). Composed by the genial chameleon Jerry Goldsmith, it is full of thunderous odd percussion, piercing strings, and animal-like sounds. It constitutes a true landmark and a turning point in movie score history.
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. [laughs] Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like [coughs] tears in rain. Time to die." (speech improvised by Rutger Hauer, the actor who plays the replicant Roy Batty).
The ultimate "cyberpunk" cult film Blade Runner (1982) has one of the most evocative, haunting, and thought-provoking scores. "Tears in Rain", the last track of the official score for the film by Vangelis, will always be an integral part of "the most moving death soliloquy in cinematic history" (The Philosopher at the End of the Universe). Unfortunately, due to creative disputes, the true Vangelis score has never been released. All the different commercially available incarnations are "replicant" scores. There is no written score of the music, and trying to reversed engineer the music has proven to be a haunting task, given the improvisational nature of the score and the use of vintage electronic technology and synthesizers.
"Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware. In a panic, they try to pull the plug. Skynet fights back."
The eerie and bizarre Brad Fiedel's score is as much a character of the Terminator 2 (1991) as the shape-shifting mimetic polyalloy T-1000.
"What is "real"? How do you define "real"?"
Nightmarish, strangely intense and very thrilling, the minimalist score composed by Don Davis is definitely a big contributor to the excitement of The Matrix (1999).
The groundbreaking and exhilarating scores of these films catapult them to otherwise unachievable cinematic heights. These compositions recall Igor Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring" and Bela Bartok's "Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta". Devoid of recognizable melodies and classical-like orchestration, these dystopian scores stand opposite to Romantic-like scores like Star Wars (John Williams) and Star Trek (Jerry Goldsmith).
The astronaut Taylor, the replicant Roy Batty, the living tissue over a metal endoskeleton Terminator, and the captain of the Nebuchadnezzar should all be proud of the incredible body of musical work created for their dystopian futures.
