There is no silver bullet in design methods, except this simple approach - the Modeless Design.

However, you can dramatically improve or innovate them by transforming your perspective from modal to modeless. In this presentation, I will talk about the philosophy and technique of Modeless Design that turns your service/product much more meaningful.

COLUMBUS, Ind. — The Bartholomew County Sheriff's Department arrested a woman who admitted to hiding drugs inside a body cavity before submitting to a body scanner at the county jail Monday.
Around 7:52 p.m. on November 25, a sheriff's deputy made a traffic stop at 11th and Franklin Streets.
According to police, the passenger was identified as Rebecca Roberts, 50, of Columbus, who had an outstanding parole warrant.
Police said a K9 unit detected the presence of narcotics, but none could be found in the vehicle.
Roberts did not respond when she was asked if she had drugs on her person.
Police told Roberts that she would have to go through a body scanner at the Bartholomew County Jail.
Roberts then said she had methamphetamine and marijuana hidden inside a body cavity, according to police.
After medical clearance from Columbus Regional Hospital, she was taken to the Bartholomew County Jail and faces preliminary charges of an outstanding warrant, possession of methamphetamine and possession of marijuana.
All persons are considered innocent unless/until proven guilty in a court of law.
Bartholomew County Sheriff Matthew A. Myers said in a statement regarding the BCJ body scanner, "All incoming inmates are now screened for contraband by going through a full body imaging machine. This scanner has helped to cut down on drugs and other contraband being smuggled into the jail."

Amit Lal, an electrical and computer engineering professor at Cornell University, is working with a group of students to create a device that can scan the surfaces of all 10 fingers in five minutes. His team, which consists of postdoctoral, graduate, and undergraduate students, is competing in the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity's Nail to Nail Fingerprint challenge. Although groups have until July to showcase their technology, Lal told MeriTalk that his group has already built a device.
Building machine parts for intelligence analysts
- Details
Intelligence analysts sometimes must make life-or-death judgments based on conflicting or incomplete information. Can software help them get better results? Managers at the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity, an organization under the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, think there's a good possibility that it can.

That Fingerprint Sensor on Your Phone Is Not as Safe as You Think

Fingerprint sensors have turned modern smartphones into miracles of convenience. A touch of a finger unlocks the phone — no password required. With services like Apple Pay or Android Pay, a fingerprint can buy a bag of groceries, a new laptop or even a $1 million vintage Aston Martin. ...Still, the team's fundamental finding that partial fingerprints are vulnerable to spoofing is significant, said Chris Boehnen, the manager of the federal government's Odin program, which studies how to defeat biometric security attacks as part of the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity

The Dangers Of Bad Sleep Habits
Sleeping well is one of the most critical aspects of functioning as a human being. If you go 3 days without sleep, you are considered clinically insane due to sleep deprivation. The body cannot function properly without rest and neither can the brain. But... how much sleep is enough? The answer varies based on the individual and can range anywhere from four to nine hours. How can you know how much your body needs?

It's the time of the year when you have to dig into your pockets and go for broke in an effort to make friends and family happy. SOHH and getFRUSH once again have you covered this holiday month with cool gadgets, gear and some free stuff you need ASAP!
Today, check out D12 member Kuniva's top five reasons you need to buy his new album "A History of Violence" right now! [Make sure to read each reason to win your own "A History of Violence" album bundle today!]
Reason 1: Time To Shine
If you're truly a Derty Head which is what we call D12 fans then you'll love this project. The fans have been asking for more music from me and D12 for awhile now, I have had so many people asking me for a solo project since I made the Midwest Marauder mix-tape series, so I made this mix-album with them in mind.
[Get your "A History of Violence" bundle pack now! Keep reading.]
Reason 2: Hi, My Name Is Kuniva
It's a chance for people to hear my music outside of D12. And also it's an opportunity for me to showcase my creativity. Everyone in D12 were solo artists before we became an official group, I think this project will give the fans more of insight to me as a solo artist.
[Do you love new music? Keep reading.]
Reason 3: Time & Effort
If you love hip hop and lyricism then I think you'll enjoy what I've done with this project. I put lots of time into working on my music, I learned that from Marshall. He's a perfectionist who will spend two days making sure that one bar in a song is on point. While I was making this album I found myself thinking "Marshall would make me do this line over again".
[Wanna impress a friend? Your free bundle pack is near.]
Reason 4: Freedom
I had plenty of freedom on this project. You have to always conform in some way when you're dealing with a group or major label. By releasing this project independently I have had the chance to use some ideas that with D12 or Shady/Interscope may or may not have made it into the project.
[You're one click away!]
Reason 5: The Proof
After Proof passed away I was in a place where I hit writers block and music just wasn't fun anymore. But you know as time went by fans would hit me up on twitter or while out touring they would come up to me and there were just a lot of stories about how D12 saved their life or how much they loved the group some were even showing their D12 tattoos. The biggest thing is they were all genuine and real. When you have a fan base that shows you that type of love its inspiring. Those fans helped rekindle my fire for the music and it reminded me of my conversations with Big Proof, he always believed in me as an artist. What I am doing right now is exactly what Proof would have wanted from me. By that I mean release solo music, respect the fan base and honor the brand (D12).
Here's what you gotta do:

If there's one thing that annoys about schools and the education system in general these days, it's the amount of testing that goes on in them. Mostly they have no purpose but to fulfil government targets, or for a "progress update" when the last test was probably only last week, but when they also seem way beyond the intended target, you know something is up.
For instance, today I was with the Year 1's. These are very small children (I didn't quite realise how small until one of them asked me how tall I was and then asked me how tall I thought they were… they were nearly half my height) aged 5 or 6. And yet, this morning, they did a 90 minute test on maths questions, some of them rather complex like, "If I buy 2 apples, which cost 10p each, and a loaf of bread, which costs 55p, how much change will I get from £1?". The end result was almost tear-inducing. The poor kids just sat there scratching their heads and looking baffled. Others were reduced to tears saying the questions were too hard, while some kept asking how long till break time. Then there was persistent mumbling as they "helped" each other answer the questions, making the whole exercise a waste of time anyway.
We really need to relax a little in this country. Education is being sapped of all its fun – where were the Lego sets, the dolls, the toys and the sandpits? No wonder kids grow to hate school at such an early age now.
So this was a rather disappointing lesson from my trip into school today. But I couldn't resist winding up the kids a little. They were at the perfect age to do so… as too many of them kept asking me if I "made" the fans that had just been put into each class. I'd put them together during the break, straight out of the box from B&Q. So I carefully explained how I bent the metal into a beautiful criss-cross pattern and melted some plastic into the fan shape. Their faces were a picture.
But that was mostly what I did today. I don't think I'm going to enjoy Year 1 for the fact that I'm not actually going to be able to do any work with the kids. The teachers are just going to ask me to do displays (like I did today) or other admin work for the kids' records of achievement. They seem to be well staffed in Year 1 anyway, unlike other years, which further reduces the amount of time I might get anyway. Here was me hoping to do some painting or something really fun and I ended up pulling staples off a wall display all day…
Things are pretty good at the moment. I feel I've got a good balance of free time and very productive and interesting "work", which doesn't really feel like work. And now I've finally been in all the classes I'm going to, I feel quite settled. No more new teachers to meet, and no more new names to learn. Out of the six classes I'm hanging around doing various odd jobs for, that's 180 different kids. I'd say I've got about 20 names so far. The chances of me getting anywhere past 50% will be greatly limited by the fact that I only have six more weeks left.
I would like to say it's testing my brain's memory to destruction, but I would want to avoid such an obvious circular reference to the title of this post, thus making it feel "complete". That would be too easy.

The Third And Last Of The Primary Or Simple Colours Is Blue Which
bears the same relation to shade as yellow to light. Hence it is the
most retiring and diffusive of all colours, except purple and black; and
all colours have the power of throwing it back in painting, to a greater
or less extent, in proportion to the intimacy of their relations to
light--first white, then yellow, orange, red, &c.
Blue alone possesses entirely the quality technically called 'coldness'
in colouring, and it communicates this property variously to all other
colours with which it happens to be compounded. Most powerful in a
strong light, it seems to become neutral and pale in a declining light,
owing to its ruling affinity with black or shade, and its power of
absorbing light. Consequently, the eye of the artist is liable to be
deceived when painting with blue in too low a light, or toward the close
of day, to the endangering of the warmth and harmony of his picture.

"Studying abroad is essential for any student seeking a deep and nuanced understanding of a language and culture other than her own. It is a joyous, exhilarating, and genuinely life-changing experience for which there is no substitute. It is much harder, later in life, to have such a rich intellectual and personal adventure. And until recently, it has been a uniquely American thing to do. It was only in the past few years that European universities have recognized the value of study abroad and set up their own, similar programs, such as the EU's Erasmus." —Catherine LeGouis
Study Abroad In France and Francophone Countries
For a list of where past and present majors have studied and a summary of the courses that they took abroad, check this searchable database. Note that this is not a definitive list of what is possible and should serve only as a useful guide and planning resource. The McCulloch Center for Global Initiatives Study Abroad website is also an excellent resource for programs, application procedures, deadlines, financial aid, and more. Laurel Fellowships (need-based financial aid) are readily available to qualified students.
- Acceleration: Students who start at the 101 level, and wish to accelerate in order to go abroad, should follow the Accelerating for Study Abroad Guidelines.
Where to Study
Mount Holyoke College has its own study abroad program in Montpellier, France, and is also affiliated with the Sweet Briar College Junior Year in France Program. Study Abroad in France or in a Francophone country is open to both majors and non-majors. Students are encouraged to have successfully completed at least one 4-credit course each semester they are enrolled at Mount Holyoke prior to their departure for study abroad (excluding independent study). It is particularly desirable for a student to be enrolled in a 4-credit French course the semester immediately preceding the semester or year abroad. Students should also have completed at least one course in culture and literature at the 200 level (215, 219, 225, or 230).
- Please consult the French department and the Center for Global Initiatives for details about these and other programs.
- Eligible students who are selected to participate in the Montpellier program may use their Mount Holyoke financial aid to do so.
- Mount Holyoke financial aid for Sweet Briar, as well as for other approved study abroad programs, is awarded on a competitive basis.
- Scholarships, specifically for study in France or Italy, are available to qualified undergraduates from the Mary Vance Young Scholarship Fund.
- Information about financing study abroad may be obtained from the McCulloch Center for Global Initiatives.
When to Study
Study abroad during the junior year is encouraged.
Credit Transfer
French minors may bring back the equivalent of one 4-credit course at the 300 level to be used toward their minor. French majors may bring back two 4-credit 300-level courses, in addition to the advanced language work required for the major (a phonetics course and a course focused on written French). Many other departments and programs grant transfer credit to be used toward a major or minor for coursework done in France as well. Please consult directly with the chair of the relevant department or program for details.
- French majors who spend a full year/two semesters abroad are allowed to bring back a maximum of three courses (12 credits), in addition to the required 4 credits' worth of advanced language coursework, for a total of 16 credits maximum toward the major.
- French majors who spend only one semester abroad are allowed to bring back a maximum of two courses (8 credits), in addition to the required 4 credits of advanced language coursework, for a total of 12 credits maximum toward the major.
- French minors who spend a full year/two semesters abroad are allowed to bring back a maximum of two courses, for a total of 8 credits maximum toward the minor.
- French minors who spend only one semester abroad are allowed to bring back a maximum of one course, for a total of 4 credits maximum toward the minor.
Summer Internships and Research Abroad
French majors are encouraged to pursue a summer internship or research project since it allows them to apply and develop their skills and explore possible career paths while engaging with cultures and perspectives outside the United States. The Mount Holyoke College International Internship Program typically offers a number of funded summer opportunities in Francophone countries.
- Funding is available through the Lynk Universal Application Form (UAF). For more details about internship opportunities and funding, please contact Kirk Lange, Director of International Experiential learning at the McCulloch Center.
Next Steps
Students interested in exploring possibilities for learning abroad are encouraged to contact the McCulloch Center for Global Initiatives. April Stroud is the primary advisor for study abroad, and Kirk Lange can offer guidance on internships or research abroad. Students should also consult with their advisor about how they can best connect and integrate learning abroad with their work in the major.

Who doesn't love the Parrot Isle Jumbo Coconut Fried Shrimp at Red Lobster? Between that crunchy, coconut-flavored shell and the cooling pina colada dipping sauce, this dish is practically irresistible. Unfortunately, you should probably resist, because the shrimp alone has a whopping 39 grams of fat, 11 grams saturated fat, and 52 carbs. Not to mention the 95mg of cholesterol and an unbelievable 990mg sodium. That's nearly 60 percent of your daily value of fat and over 40 percent of your daily intake of sodium, and it doesn't even include the dipping sauce. Unacceptable!
Luckily, we figured out a healthier way to make these flakey, crunchy shrimp at home. Instead of deep frying our shrimp, we bake them in a high-temperature oven to get all the crispiness you love without all the extra fat. All you need is a handful of ingredients, and you're ready to get started!
Oven Baked is Better Than Frying
Some people will argue that fried food isn't that bad for you. "If the oil is hot enough, it doesn't get absorbed into the food," they say. I'd beg to differ; I've worked in enough restaurants to tell you that the oil definitely does make its way into the food. Not only do you have to add oil to the fryer a few times a shift, but anyone who has eaten a plate of fried food can tell you how much it weighs you down.
It's true that fried food tastes crispy and delicious, but we know a way to make oven fried food taste just as good. It starts with a super hot oven, like 450 degrees F. You want to make sure your oven is clean before you do this, otherwise you might smoke-out the house! This super-high temperature mimics the conditions of the 375-degree oil, crisping up the food quickly and efficiently.
You might also notice that we tell you to line a baking sheet with an oven-safe wire rack (like this one from Checkered Chef). This step is strictly necessary if you want the crispiest shrimp. If you place the shrimp directly on the baking sheet, they will crisp up on one side and become soggy on the other side. Using the rack elevates the shrimp, keeping them off the baking sheet. That allows the air to circulate around them, crisping them up on both sides.
Replicating the Sauce
You'll find a lot of copycat recipes out there for Red Lobster's Parrot Isle Jumbo Coconut Fried Shrimp, but ours is unique because it's actually healthy. Not only do we bake our shrimp instead of frying them, but we also made some ingredient swaps for the pina colada dipping sauce.
Most recipes use sour cream, powdered pina colada mix, and sugar to make their dipping sauce. We don't love the contents of the pina colada mix, and we didn't like the thought of adding extra sugar, either. To make our dipping sauce taste super-tropical, we swapped out the sour cream for dairy-free coconut yogurt. It's thick, it's creamy, and it already tastes like a pina colada! Then, all we need to do is add some crushed pineapple and some lime juice, and we're ready to go.
We think you'll love the result of this healthier Coconut Fried Shrimp recipe. If you give it a try, let us know what you think in the comments!

- 1/2 cup coconut yogurt
- 1/4 cup crushed pineapple, well drained
- 2 tablespoons pineapple juice (from the crushed pineapple)
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons coconut milk
- 1/2 cup whole wheat panko bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

- Make the sauce by combining all the ingredients in a small bowl. Keep the sauce in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with an oven-safe wire rack. Spray it with nonstick cooking oil and set aside.
- In a small bowl, make an egg wash by combining the egg and coconut milk. Whisk until the mixture is well combined.
- In a large bowl, mix together the whole wheat panko bread crumbs and the unsweetened shredded coconut.
- Working one at a time, dip a shrimp into the egg wash before coating it with the bread crumb mixture. Gently press the shrimp into the bread crumbs to make sure they adhere.
- Place the shrimp on the prepared baking sheet and continue dredging until all the shrimp are coated. When all the shrimp are on the sheet, lightly spray them with the nonstick cooking oil.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the shrimp are golden brown.

Transforming Transportation for More Inclusive, Prosperous Cities
Cities are the world's engines of economic growth. Yet many have a long way to go when it comes to ensuring safe and affordable access to jobs, education, and healthcare for its citizens—in part because their transport systems are inadequate and unsustainable. This weakness is visible in packed slums and painful commutes in cities that fail to provide affordable transport options.
Inadequate transport comes with other costs related to air quality and safety. Beijing, China, battles dangerous levels of air pollution due in part to motor vehicle emissions. Major Indian metropolises like Mumbai, Kolkata, and Chennai are growing out instead of up, contributing to increased travel distances and an estimated 550 deaths every day from traffic accidents. And across the globe, cities are the locus of up to 70 percent of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions driving climate change.

Letters to the Editor, March 29-April 1
KAC design belongs in another country
I would like to extend a Tonight Show Thank You Card to The Park Record (think of the music with it). Thank you Park Record for having a front page article titled" Kimball Design is Praised," only to have quoted one person who likes the new design. Great journalism. The person who is quoted is a longtime resident since 1994. He says the design is modern and in keeping with mining tradition (like hydraulic fracking?) and would be a focal point along Main Street.
As someone who has owned a historic miners home for over 30 yrs, I have been told what I can and cannot do with the property. I have seen the guidelines changed many times in those years. I have not changed my property have had many ribbons placed on it by the town. I have also been to several planning meeting, listening to owners jump thru hoops to make their historic homes a little more livable while being within the guidelines.
Historic Main Street is like no other place in town or the Basin. When you walk it you feel the history of over a century of people walking these sidewalks. There is no focal point, the whole street is the focal point. When I look at the new design I cannot imagine anything that relates to the history of this town.
If you did a survey and asked people who did they think designed this: a: local architects experienced in historic American mining town design or b: a renowned Danish architectural firm. I feel there would be few answering a. This thing screams Scandinavian.
The Kimball blew it by choosing a Danish firm. They just don't get it. I understand art galleries like to make a statement with their buildings drawing attention to it, but not at the base of our historic main street.
No exceptions even for art centers.

State legislative process is seriously flawed
The Salt Lake Tribune article "Legislative Session Stats Revealing" that ran recently in The Record was discouraging. Of the total 486 bills passed, 57% passed in the last week of a 45-day session and a third passed on the final day. This most definitely raises the question if many were meaningfully scrutinized, debated and negotiated prior to passage.
What intensifies my concern is that the Utah legislature allows members to submit a Request for Legislation "secretly," in that the request is made but does not receive a number and is not publicized until the sponsor says so. Neither the public nor other legislators, except the sponsor's inner circle, are aware of the proposed bill and cannot start researching or reacting to it until perhaps months later. Therefore, even if a bill is discussed in committee meetings prior to a vote, valuable time is lost and the sponsors have an often insurmountable advantage over those who are undecided or opposed.
That many in the legislature accept delays and last minute consideration as business as usual or "the nature of the organization" is an insult to constituents. Elected officials should hold themselves to a higher standard when it comes to decision-making that determines the well-being of the people and state of Utah. Sadly, I am certain this behavior is a result of strategy and not simply human nature.

Record's PCMR/Talisker coverage is biased
I read with interest your article in the Park Record, under the heading "Vail makes a buyout offer" and its deck head, "PCMR won't agree to a takeover by the Colorado firm."
The article goes on to précis the open letter from Vail CEO Rob Katz in a way I feel lends bias to PCMR's position. Haven't people had enough of the Big Bad Vail thread uninformed people are still clinging to?
It appears PCMR by their own admission forgot to send the required written notification to Talisker on time and in line with the terms of their lease. PCMR started the legal action and, according to reports in your paper, backdated a letter to suggest they had in fact complied with the terms of the lease on time. How that comprises open and honest business practice is beyond me.
Your paper prides itself on serving the community for 140 years and if that is the case a more balanced reporting of this vital dispute would be welcomed.
You seem to print every utterance the Cummings/PCMR camp puts forward promoting their view of interstate tyranny and wrongfulness. The irrelevant flow charts provided by PCMR and taking up more space on the front page of this issue than the Katz article would seem to support this and yet such an insightful and vital letter written in open forum by Vail's CEO Rob Katz is only disseminated in an article and put on your website instead of being printed in your paper in its entirety to provide the more balanced approach the community deserves.

Nationwide EERC higher than ever at 1,873
EnerCom released its monthly EnerCom Effective Rig Count today. Launched in January, the EnerCom Effective Rig Count seeks to account for improved productivity in recent developments.
The downturn forced companies to innovate and develop new technologies and techniques to remain economic. These advancements have allowed companies to drill better, faster wells than they were able to before the downturn.
Based on the Effective Rig Count, rigs in the U.S. were three times as productive in April 2017 (the last month with data available for both rigs and production) than rigs in January 2014. After adjusting for this productivity boost, the total U.S. Effective Rig Count is 1,873.
On an individual basis, the Utica has seen the most advancement in productivity. Current rigs in the Utica are yielding 4.5 times more barrels of oil equivalent than January 2014 Utica rigs. There are currently 22 rigs active in the Utica area, but the production from these rigs equates to 99 January 2014 rigs.
Ground Zero
In the Permian basin, the heart of current unconventional activity, rigs are currently yielding 3.3x more production than Permian rigs did in January 2014. This means that the Permian Effective Rig Count is 1,109, which is higher than the nationwide Effective Rig Count from September 2015 to November 2016.
Permian, Eagle Ford, Haynesville growth expected
In the EIA's monthly Drilling Productivity Report the agency outlined recent drilling and production activity. In today's report, the EIA provided estimates for production growth from May to June. As might be expected, the Permian is projected to see the largest oil and gas production growth.
The region's oil production is projected to rise 70 MBOPD to 2,492 MBOPD, while gas production rises 169 MMcf/d to 8,391 MMcf/d. The Eagle Ford is projected to see the second-largest growth in oil production, while the EIA estimates the Haynesville will experience the second-largest growth in oil production.
In a turnabout from prevailing strategy last year, drilling activity continues to outpace completions, according to the EIA. The agency estimates that there were 5,721 drilled uncompleted wells in the U.S. in April, up 187 from March. This growth is led by the Permian, where the recent surge in activity has drawn about half of all U.S. drilling rigs. Of the major basins, only the Utica saw completion activity outpace drilling, as the region's DUC inventory decreased by six from March to April.
The EIA also released estimates of new well oil and gas production per rig, an estimate for the productivity of rigs in individual basins. The EIA estimates that rigs in the most productive oil rigs are found in the Eagle Ford, where rigs are yielding 1,448 BOPD. When considering gas, Marcellus rigs are the most productive, with each active Marcellus rig yielding 13,427 Mcf/d.

Ladies and Gentlemen, put on your magic hats! i☆Ris are here to astonish your eyes with the stage spectacular promotional video for "FANTASTIC ILLUSION". Brass tacks to start with: "FANTASTIC ILLUSION" is the opening theme to the TV anime "Magical Sempai (手品先輩, Tejina-senpai)". The anime seems to be about school clubs, a magic loving senpai, and hi-jinks (I'm guessing). Here in this short version, the girls put on their adorably undersized top hats and playing card skirts for a dance shot on an impossible shiny checkerboard stage. We don't actually see any magic tricks from the girls, I'm hoping that the full version will include some mind-benders. "FANTASTIC ILLUSION" breaks things up with a waltz time pre-chorus section (which brings me great pleasure). This 19th single from the hybrid idol group sounds promising, so let's hope for a full version PV before long, eh? "FANTASTIC ILLUSION" apparates into stores on August 28, 2019.[UPDATE 2019.08/29] Full version promotional video added
i☆Ris (アイリス or "iris") is a Japanese voice acting and idol group formed in 2012 by Avex. It is a so-called "hybrid group", because in addition to performing as singing idols, they together work as anime voice actors. They provide the voices for main characters in the arcade game and anime franchise PriPara. i☆Ris currently includes members Yamakita Saki (山北早紀), Serizawa Yu (芹澤 優), Akaneya Himika (茜屋日海夏), Wakai Yuki (若井友希), Kubota Miyu (久保田未夢), and Shibuya Azuki (澁谷梓希).

Does Alien Provide a good horror atmospheric game?
I went into Alien with no expectations, if anything they were low from some of the reviews I've read. I read how that you can go on for a long time to get to a Save spot. I also read that there is alot of going back to places you've been before, that I can't confirm as I've only played 3 hours so far. As for the save spot problem, I'm not noticing any long points between them.
Do not read the next part as they contain minor spoilers.
Paying attention to your surroundings is a must, you can find crafting items, to make medkits for example. There are also underground vents that you have to look for, I spent like 30 minutes roaming around until I saw a vent door at my feet.
This session was pretty fun, I look forward to playing more, I give this game a gold Trophy.

Recently, a video by Brooke Amelia Peterson went viral on YouTube. The video was a walk-through of the new iPhone X. The iPhone X is not scheduled to be released till November 3. The phone Peterson was filming belonged to her father, Ken Bauer, an engineer who worked for Apple, and the video was taken at an Apple campus in its cafeteria. Apple asked Peterson to take the video down and she immediately did so, but it was all over the internet. As a result of the video, Apple fired her father for violating its rule against filming at their campus. The question is: Should Apple have fired Ken Bauer?
People who feel he should have been fired argue that he violated a long-standing rule and should be held accountable. They feel that, even if he did not know he was breaking the rule, he still needs to face the consequences. They also feel that he should have just known better and not have been so careless with Apple's confidential equipment. Finally, Apple has a right to protect its intellectual property any way they see fit and, if that means firing a careless employee, so be it.
Those who feel Bauer should not have been fired feel that Apple overreacted in firing him. They feel that a suspension would have been plenty of punishment to him for a first offense. Also, he was unaware that he was violating the rule and it was Apple's responsibility to be more clear on company policies. Finally, even though he was in the video and handed his daughter the phone, it was his daughter who posted the video online and he should not be punished for her actions.
Many times, when you work for a company, you sign nondisclosure agreements. Companies want to protect their soon to be released products so they can unveil them in a way that will generate the most interest. Apple is no different when it comes to the iPhone X. Did they go too far in firing Ken Bauer for letting his daughter film the iPhone X? That is for Apple and their consumers to decide.
Brooke Amelia Peterson explained what happened to cause her father to be fired:
The Issue
Was Apple right in firing Ken Bauer for letting his daughter film the iPhone X and post it online? Did Apple follow company policy in its actions? Or, did Apple overreact and fire someone when a suspension would have sufficed?
Ken Bauer should have been fired
Those who feel Apple should have fired him say that not knowing a rule is no excuse and he deserved to be fired. They feel that Apple has the right to protect their intellectual property any way they see fit.
How is it unfair? Rules are rules after all. If you overlook them, there are consequences. Break a rule and expect leniency? Thats unfair.

Companies should expect workers to be competent and smart enough not to break really simple, obvious rules.

If I were still an Apple employee, I'd be cool with that. He & she ruined the surprise in exchange for fame.

Any company should stand behind its employees instead of discarding them on the first mistake as if they are nothing. People aren't robots.

What happen Brooke Amelia Peterson & her father is completely messed up.
Apple should hire the father back with a warning.
— Saeed Khan (@KhanSa33d) October 29, 2017
That's a bit harsh, considering it's been made available to pre-order. Fine give the bloke a proper telling off and perhaps put him on probation, but to fire him for something which was entirely innocent is a bit extreme of @Apple
— Mikee (@M1K33EE) October 28, 2017
no i agree with that. i just think like…you could suspend him for a few weeks or something. seems ruthless since phone is out this week

Do you think Ken Bauer should have been fired from Apple?


text: I absolutely adore these two and their love for one another. Craig and Jules are the sweetest couple. They were married on a rainy day in October in Greer, South Carolina. The ceremony was at the beautiful Davenport in Downtown Greer and the reception followed at Grace Hall just a block away. The rain didn't stop us from capturing some gorgeous photos. I love the laughter and happiness that you can see in their photos, here are some of my favorites!

I am a Russian living and working in an English-speaking country. I do have an accent and I hear it in Russian people I meet. Let's be honest, it is not the most alluring or charming accent. But I have never struggled to find a job. In fact, every role in my career has involved significant interaction and communication. How did I do that?
I relocated as an adult and my English was limited to "How do you do?" and "so-so" and when I didn't understand a question my instinct was to reply with "No". I remember going for a game of ten pin bowling and telling the person inputting information that my name was Tanya (short for Tatyana in Russian), yet somehow he managed to input "Danielle" (Eh?!?!) Was my English that bad???
I completed English language courses and passed IELTS on a first attempt, after 4 months of studying. Then a few months later I passed the academic IELTS and started my BCom at The University of Auckland. But it wasn't until the second year of my tertiary studies that I took a paper focusing on pronunciation. That paper was not connected to my degree, but it was one of the most useful papers I completed. I still remember more about how to position your tongue when pronouncing certain sounds, than what I learnt about commercial law!
The truth is that we must communicate in a way that other people understand. My accent will always be there (it is a part of me and my heritage that I love and respect) but I constantly work on my ability to be understood. I know that I am unlikely to fully master words that have too many R sounds (due to my naturally rolling 'R'). When I met a girl named Aurora, I avoided calling her by her name for as long as I could. I know my limitations and I know when to slow down and/or speak louder so that the other person can comprehend me.
In my current role as a recruiter I regularly deal with the "English-is-my-second-language" candidates. One thing to appreciate is that during interviews we don't screen for accents. We do however, screen for communication skills. A heavy accent does not instantly suggest unsuitable communication skills. However, it can become a barrier to effective conversation. Therefore, someone with a thick accent may be screened out of a certain role where communication is key (e.g. IT based support roles, Business Analysts roles, Project Management positions etc.)
There are things you can do to lessen the impact of a strong accent – a few simple solutions are outlined in this article.
If you would like to sound more Kiwi-like have a read and a laugh here.
If you are interested if your accent can hurt your career, here is some interesting research.
Tip #3: Listen to an Accent You Want to Imitate

"Writing is like lying down in the road and asking people to stop and look at you, and today, I got run over."
This line, spoken by the young Lawrence Durrell, is from the PBS production of "The Durrells In Corfu". Lawrence has just hosted a public reading to celebrate an early piece of his writing and no one, other than a confused and elderly man unknown to him and a small cadre of close family, attends.
He is, understandably, crushed. But not so crushed as to give up!
I have no idea if this is a quote actually attributable to Durrell, but it made me laugh out loud and I like it.
Writers, it's that time of year again. Time to sit up straight, give final touches to our manuscripts, toughen our skin, and send our young ones out into the world. Time to kiss them goodbye, wave, and watch.
Do they sink or swim?
How does it feel when they sink?
And how does it feel when they swim competently down river under their own power and skill, into welcoming arms?
We won't find out unless we submit our work.
Or at least, share it with others who can read our work with open, intelligent minds, give us helpful feedback, and take us a bit closer to the act of submitting.
I am looking forward to a fall busy with a good deal of submitting. I am coming out of what has been an uncommonly difficult last couple years, and an extraordinarily difficult last six or so months replete with family deaths and other challenging events, and my writing life has, predictably, suffered.
I've written on the topic of submitting and rejection before, which, if you follow my blog, you know.
It's a topic near and dear to me as a writer, a topic that I feel does not garner the attention it should given how daunting and complex the process of submitting our work is. I admire all writers who expose their work to the critiques of others, and find myself drawn to contemplate and explore the challenge of being a submitting writer, the burden we share in just getting our work out there and into the hands of readers.
Here, for your pleasure and inspiration, are several bits on perseverance in the face of failure.
–The wisdom of Rocky (from the film Rocky Balboa, 2006). As apropos to the challenges of submitting manuscripts as it is to all of life, something I know now in a way that I did not before.
"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!"
Here is a link to the scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_Vg4uyYwEk
For Rocky-lovers, the rest of the scene (love the last line!):
"Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that!
"I'm always gonna love you no matter what. No matter what happens. You're my son and you're my blood. You're the best thing in my life. But until you start believing in yourself, ya ain't gonna have a life.
Don't forget to visit your mother."
—Fail Mindfully
Can't recall how I stumbled onto this TED talk given by entrepreneur Leticia Gasca, but I like it a good deal.
Not only does it shed light on the often cut-throat world of business–and it's good for writers to be reminded that we have no corner on rejection, loss, and competition in the wide world–but it shows a bold entrepreneur openly wrestling with different aspects of failing.
The inevitability of failing. The shame and humiliation that can sometimes accompany failure. The tendency of most, in all walks of life, to cover up and deny one's failings, sometimes for years.
And yet the sweet liberation that comes from openly acknowledging and sharing how hard it can be to succeed.
In any field. At any time. For anyone and everyone.
How common–de rigueur, really–it is for meaningful success to be preceded by arduous rounds of failure and loss, rejection and setbacks.
And, importantly, how much we can learn and share from our failures, not just making success for ourselves more likely the next time around, but also allowing others to learn from our setbacks and losses, and thereby, as Gasca points out, encourage creativity, innovation, and growth in our respective fields.
We all stand to gain from hearing more about the struggles of others, and by sharing our own struggles in any endeavor.
—Fall Down Seven, Stand Up Eight
Love this.
Don't get twisted up, as some have, by taking this quote too literally. The point of this saying, attributed to the Japanese, is clear:
One must fall, and fall often and sometimes hard, in order to finally remain standing.
Should all of this scare us away from our writing, from sharing it, and submitting it?
Deter us from attempting to accomplish much of anything in life that involves a high probability of rejection, loss, failure, and frustration?
Not at all.
It seems absolutely true–as our parents told us–that little in life that is worth working toward does not involve risk. If we cannot handle the possibility of rejection, we might as well hang up our hats and reconcile ourselves to a life spent on the sidelines, channel-surfing until something better comes along.
And that, among other awful things, is absolutely boring.
Keep on writing!
And keep on submitting!

It sounds so limiting doesn't it, Desserts by Night (38 Edgewater Boulevard, Maribyrnong VIC), what about those poor sweettooths hanging out for a sugar hit in the afternoon? But then again, being tucked away in a new estate in suburbia, there will probably be limited custom during the daylight hours. Night time is the go! Especially over here in the wild wild west. It was after a particularly heavy dinner that I found myself there one night not so long ago.
The fit out is warm and inviting. Deep chocolate toned walls on one side, a rather lurid lime patterned wallpaper on the other, modern gas fireplace set against a stone feature wall, pendant lighting to fill the ceiling space and a glass cabinet proudly showing off the cakes on offer. Overall it's a fairly suburban fitout and accordingly, it gives off a nice chilled vibe. Nothing more relaxing than hanging with some friends catching up over coffee and sweets.
Service was ok, there were 2 floor staff on that Saturday night and they were probably 30% full when we got there. Being part of a bigger group, they seemed to struggle with our orders a bit. One of the waitstaff was clearly more seasoned than the other but otherwise there were no major hiccups to report.
The coffee was fairly decent, but I suspect it'll be the desserts that intrigue you. It looks like crepes is their big ticket item, and we all know of the great crepe debate. It's like the big taco debate, do you like them soft or crisp? It's the kind of thing that can lead to the boycotting of establishments who make their crepes 'wrong' or even tear friendships apart. Well, despair no longer for Desserts by Night will bend to your will and cook you a crisp or soft crepe at your request, served with a fruit filling, topping and icecream of your choice. Although I must say it is priced rather highly at $13.95 (or perhaps it was $12.95?). In case you weren't aware, Harajuku Crepes in Melbourne Central happily hand over their crepes from as low as $5 a serve.
There is a slight take on Asian fusion desserts, with typically, lychee flavoured things and interestingly, a pennyworth panna cotta. Pennyworth (otherwise known as pegaga or centella asiatica) is a little known plant in the Western culinary world, but has a strong following in Asia. It's a herbal plant from the parsley family that is oft revered for its medicinal properties. In terms of Chinese medicine, it is regarded as having a 'cooling' or anti-inflammatory effect. In Melbourne, pennyworth leaf drinks can be found in many Vietnamese restaurants and it has quite a fresh grassy flavour, not too dis-similar to wheatgerm. I was curious to try it, but didn't get to this time round.
Pricing of items is along the same early teens line of their headline crepe offerings. I opted for their current promotion of Belgian waffle with banana (or strawberry), maple syrup (or various other toppings) and vanilla icecream and a free coffee at $13.95. Bargain! The serve of banana alone is probably worth $5 in this climate (bananas are currently about $13/kg in the supermarkets if you hadn't yet heard). As a whole dessert, it was pretty average. The waffle was a tad dry and accordingly tough, there wasn't enough maple syrup and it was very evident that they used a low rate supermarket icecream. Given that desserts in Melbourne are becomingly increasingly sophisticated, there really is no excuse to use cheap icecream in a dedicated dessert bar. Most serious dessert venues even make their own on site! So suffices to say I was a little let down.
As a relaxed coffee hangout for a gossip with some pals, it's perfectly fine, and yes I am most likely to become a repeat customer. But as a true dessert destination, it still has some way to go. So I guess depending on what Dessert by Night really aspires for, one could say it has already fulfilled its mission.

My original review on Quicket.co.za.
I like cool things as much as the next person . . . okay maybe a little more than the next person and last week Thursday I got to go see a pretty cool thing. I was at The Waiting Room on Long Street to see two bands that I'd never heard of before but sounded interesting so I gathered my entourage (I have them just lying around) and with the promise of beer and good music we headed for The Waiting Room to see TheCITY and Tholakele. I'm glad to report back that my promise of beer and good music was fulfilled because both bands blew me away and I had a rocking good time. You should check both bands out some time.
The Waiting Room is the sort of grungy and intimate place that draws in cool and artsy people and the crowd consisted of these kinds of individuals. The setting was cosy with comfy chairs placed facing the small stage and there was some space for people to dance it up should the music move them. This was the sort of gig where people get to chatting with each other and the bands, making friends and just having a good time jamming to some cool sounds.
Tholakele were first to grace the stage with their African Jazzy sound. Bronwen Clacherty is the leading lady and vocalist of the band and her voice is just amazingly rich and with the band performing songs like Ngqo Ngqo Ngqo, Nozimama and Nyemamusasa they really are an act that is representative of South Africa's linguistic and cultural diversity. Bronwen also showcased some remarkable usage of traditional instruments like bows and something that I'm 93.4% sure is a mbira in adding an African flavour to their music. Bronwen studied at The South African College of Music, University of Cape Town and explored musical areas such as Jazz Vibraphone, Classical Percussion, Cuban Percussion and African Instruments focusing on South African bows. You can catch some of the songs Tholakele performed on the night on her Facebook page. You can also catch her hanging out in the Twitter streets: @Bronwenclack.
TheCITY closed off the night on a very high note with their heart pumping Future Afro style. The band is made up of Bonj Mpanza on vocals and her voice is powerful and downright haunting. Clement Carr works magic on the keys, Ryan McArthur rocks out on bass and Ruby Crowie drives the truck on drums. I was looking forward to this performance after I had their song, Long for You stuck in my head from listening to it the previous evening on PopsicleTV.com. These guys are the epitome of cool and every single song they played had me singing along, tapping my feet and bobbing my head along to the music. My favourite three were Long for You, Nguwe and Something Sweet. You can download their EP on iTunes and it's pretty damn amazing!
TheCITY and Tholakele are two rocking bands and my entourage and I had a great time at their gig. As I'd said before, if you have time and they are in the area it's well worth your while to pop in and listen to some good music.
