Crisis Group raises Syria threat level to critical on its Trigger List early-warning platform

On the evening of 7 April 2018, the rebel-held Damascus suburb of Douma was subjected to an apparent chemical weapons attack. Military strikes by the U.S. and its Western allies seem imminent, now that Russia and the P3 – the U.S., the United Kingdom, and France – have failed to agree on a mechanism at the UN Security Council, and given U.S. President Donald Trump's explicit warning. Any military action in Syria inevitably will present significant risks of unintended escalation, especially given deepened involvement by several foreign actors. As such, Crisis Group is raising the threat level of the Trigger List's Syria flashpoints – in the Golan Heights, al-Tanf, and the Middle Euphrates River Valley – from Severe to Critical. Given the risk of the spillover of tensions, we are also raising the threat level in Lebanon from Moderate to Substantial. Critical is the highest level on our threat assessment scale, indicating a direct or indirect military confrontation between Iran and the U.S. and/or their respective allies is expected imminently. An attack by the U.S. and its allies risks hitting Russian and Iranian personnel commingled with their Syrian partners, triggering a broader confrontation. Russia has suggested it would respond. Even a strike that avoided doing so could be misread by Moscow or Tehran as designed to achieve more substantial goals, particularly given the Trump administration's hostile rhetoric against Iran and its increasingly likely withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on 12 May. The U.S. and its allies are unlikely to be the only or even main targets of retaliation by the Syrian government and its backers. Military action could provoke intensified bombing by the Syrian government and Russia against opposition-held areas. It could also jeopardise local ceasefire arrangements, including the tenuous “de-escalation” in south-western Syria jointly negotiated by the U.S., Russia, and Jordan. An escalation in Syria may also provoke escalations elsewhere in the region, either against the U.S. or its allies. U.S.-led strikes are necessarily risky, but those risks could potentially be mitigated through effective messaging and the careful definition of narrow deterrent purposes. Limited strikes, advance warning and communication of U.S. aims to Moscow and via Moscow to Tehran are unlikely to have the desired deterrent effect, but may avoid retaliation by Russia and Iran and a broader, unchecked military escalation.

The Transparent Imperative

Why oil and gas companies must master social media.
This article appeared in Vol. 10, No. 3 - 2013

The oil and gas industry is seen by and large with great scepticism by the American and European public, and are often painted as a bunch of fat cats who look for every opportunity to ruin the environment and oppress the poor.

We all know how absolutely ludicrous this perception is. Oil and gas companies not only contribute billions of dollars to the economy in the form of jobs and tax revenue, but we also care for our communities. Cabot Oil and Gas, for example, bend over backwards to give back to the small towns of the north-east US where it operates. Exxon gives away millions for college scholarships. In my own hometown of Fort Worth, Texas, Chesapeake and XTO are permanent fixtures of the philanthropic landscape.

So why does the industry continue to battle uphill against negative public sentiment?

Many within the oil and gas community quickly point to Hollywood celebrities and hopelessly ignorant politicians as the main source of our problems. You cannot completely discount the sway these people have over the public, but I think it is time to take a good look in the mirror and see how we as an industry are contributing to the problem.

The Brave New World

The past five years have brought about revolutionary changes in oil and gas. Horizontal drilling, zipper fracs and multi-well pads have become the norm overnight. In the same way new drilling technology is shaping the industry, new social media technology is shaping the world. As social media expert Jay Baer points out, once upon a time the only way to complain to a company about a defective product was to go back to their booth at the town bazaar. Then they invented the postal service and we could write letters. Next came the telephone and customer service representatives to man the phones. Email followed and consumers were given yet another way to engage with vendors and brands. Social media is the next natural step in customer engagement.

Unfortunately, many in the industry are still living somewhere between the town bazaar and the telephone. When a frightened public is faced with perpetual scare tactics from oil and gas opponents and ominous headlines from journalists who glory in fanning the flames, it takes much more than parades and community picnics to turn the tide.

The world has changed – drastically. Look at Facebook’s one billion users – there are nearly as many Facebook users as there are Catholics in the world. If Facebook was a country, it would be larger than China in three years. The amount of time people are spending on social media is staggering, and this has trained them to expect certain things. Today, if someone wants to learn more about your company, they often go to your Facebook page or Twitter account before your website. People have become accustomed to interacting with brands and forming their opinions about them based largely on how they interact with their audience. The same could be said about entire industries.

However, if you search social media platforms to find valuable insights about oil and gas, you would not walk away with a favourable image of our industry. Instead, you will get an earful from Josh Fox and his anti-fraccing Gasland minions. You will be told, inaccurately, that companies refuse to disclose the ingredients of their frac fluids, and shown endless pictures of flaming water faucets, all of which have been proven to be caused by naturally occurring biogenic methane. And we as an industry remain conspicuously absent in all of this.

I recently checked Facebook to see how many of the largest oil and gas companies on earth were active on the network – less than a dozen. Here we are with the greatest American energy revolution happening right before our eyes, which has already poured untold billions of dollars into the US economy, and we are letting our adversaries dictate the conversation and shape public perception. And the best answer we can come up with is to kick the can and grumble about how bad we have got it.

Be In It to Win It

It is time to face facts. These conversations are taking place, whether we like it or not. The only question that remains is will we come to the table to present the facts? Will we be open and transparent, building trust and gaining the admiration we so richly deserve? Or will we continue to bury our heads in the sand hoping the problem will go away?

If it were not for oil and gas, we would still be driving horse carts, dying of dysentery, heating our homes with wood from disappearing forests and fumbling around in dark rooms the moment the sun went down. Truth be told, the oil and gas industry is responsible for lifting the world out of poverty. As John D. Rockefeller said, “Let the good work go on. We must ever remember we are refining oil for the poor man and he must have it cheap and good.”

The world needs to know our story. If we do it right and are willing to meet people where they are on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc., they will not only gain an appreciation of our achievements of yesterday, but will eagerly partner with us as we build the bright future of tomorrow.

Do You Have What it Takes to be Successful at Sales?

  5. Do You Have What it Takes to be Successful at Sales?

So you have a business. You started it with a dream of making it your way. Time. Money. Freedom. You have your superpower and you see how you can make a difference for others.

Your future is exciting.

You open the doors and then….

Nobody told you that you were going to have to be a sales person too.

After working with literally hundreds of people as a sales manager, trainer and consultant there is one thing that I have heard from most people and that is, “I’m just not a salesperson.”

Being a salesperson is not in the DNA. It is not something you have or don’t have. It is a learned skill. You probably were not born with whatever is your superpower or your passion. Those were all things that got developed over time.

Just like any skill, developing yourself in that skill is available to anyone. This is good news for those of you who think it is something you are born with.

So what does it take to be successful in sales?

1. You already are a salesperson

Selling is really calling someone into taking an action in its simplest form. Haven’t you been asking people to do things and guess what, you have been doing that since the day you were born. So the good news is you are a born salesperson!

2. Selling is honorable.

Yes, you read that right. Sales is an honorable thing to do and one to be proud of. Now I can hear you already, “Yeah but what about the Used Car Salesman we all hear about? Not so honorable.” So yes of course there are people who give sales a bad name. But I bet if you look in your industry you could probably find people who give your industry/profession/product a bad name too.

Over the years of hearing people talk about this concern there is one thing that I have discovered. That is that if you have that concern you could never ever be a pushy, sales person anyway.

3. You care about helping people.

Selling is helping people find the answers to their problems or challenges. A sales conversation is really just discovering what people need help with and if you are the answer or not.

4.  You like to learn

True salespeople are not born, they are trained. There are no magic bullets or secrets that lead to sales success. Successful sales people spend a portion of each day reading, listening to podcasts, etc. So remember that developing yourself in all ways is a powerful way to increase your effectiveness in sales.

5. Believe in your product or service.

You must believe in your product and/or service with all your heart and soul. If this is not possible, then don’t do it. This is when pushy can come up. If you don’t believe in your product or service then you are just in a conversation to take someone’s money, and THAT doesn’t feel good for anyone.

6.  Be honest, and do what you say

People do business with people they know like and trust. This begins with being honest and doing what you say and what people would expect from you.

7.  Be a good listener

You know the old saying, “You have two ears and one mouth, so listen twice as much as your talk.” This is one of the most important qualities of a successful Salesperson. You listen for what matters to the potential customer, because then and only then can you know how you can help them.

8.  Be curious

You have to be like an investigative reporter. Asking questions upon question. Being curious to what they want, what they are challenged by, why they want it, how bad they want it.

There are times when I have been in a sales conversation with someone that they had their biggest breakthrough by being asked questions that allowed them to really dive into what really matters to them. If people think it is something they “should” want you likely don’t have a buyer.

So do you have what it takes to be a successful sales person?

Playing in a new town against a new club - Livingston v Rangers

Match Analysis
  • Smaller Small Medium Big Bigger
  • Default Helvetica Segoe Georgia Times

As much as the Rangers newco/new club debate has become as tedious as most fractured, imbalanced discussions usually become, there are various interesting asides this weekend as we prepare to take on Livingston in West Lothian tomorrow.

Firstly, our opposition are no strangers to issues of name-changes and financial impropriety. Initially formed as an amateur outfit in the early 1940s, the club was known for around 30 years as Ferranti Thistle - a works team of the old engineering company found in various places across central Scotland. However, in 1974, Thistle beat off competition from six other clubs to win a place in the reformed three-tier Scottish Football League. As part of that acceptance, they had to change their name and, given their move to a modern stadium built in Edinburgh a few years earlier, Meadowbank Thistle was born.

The next twenty years proved tough for the club. Despite managing to reach the old First Division on two occasions - including narrowly missing out on promotion to the old SPL due to a reduction of top-flight clubs in 1988 - Meadowbank really started to struggle in the 1990s. Two relegations in three years down to the newly created Third Division and various financial problems meant the club was facing closure so in an effort to addressing falling crowds and an inability to challenge the primary Edinburgh clubs, Thistle relocated to Livingston and changed their name once more - despite opposition from many of its own fans. Nevertheless, summer 1995 seen the club move to their new home, in the new town of Livingston - playing at a purpose built 4000 all-seater stadium now rented from the local authority.

The move resulted in substantially increased crowd numbers and following financial backing from three wealthy Celtic fans, the future looked bright for Livingston. Indeed, promotion to the top tier followed within six years and European football also arrived in West Lothian as the club achieved an impressive third place finish in their first season in the SPL. Unfortunately, things began to go sour soon afterwards. In circumstances that mirror what has happened at Rangers in recent times, the club was pushed into administration and subsequent ownership issues and allegations of fraud were played out in the courts over many years. Further changes of ownership failed to address the financial problems and a second administration followed along with demotion to the old Third Division for an alleged break of financial insolvency rules. During this time, the club even boycotted their first match of 2009/10 and were later fined for this - a fine overturned on appeal resulting in no eventual punishment. It seems Rangers haven't been the only club in which the football authorities have played fast and loose with their own rules.

Since those dark days, Livi have thankfully steadied the ship somewhat with promotions back to the second tier though were censured again last season for tax payment problems and issues surrounding dual ownership. Suffice to say, supporters of both clubs should be sympathetic to the plight of the other when it comes to matters off the field of play. It would certainly be a surprise to hear the "You're no' Rangers anymore" dirge tomorrow....

On the park, the players have already faced each other twice this season - both games won by Rangers at Ibrox, one in the league and one in the Challenge Cup. The second game in particular was very tight and although Rangers dominated, the home side didn't secure the win until the 75th minute via a sublime Nicky Clark strike. The main memory from the game though was an overly aggressive, physical performance from Mark Burchill's men and a dreadful display from the officials as they failed to see (or deal with) the often dangerous play of the visitors.

The Rangers team that day lined up very similar as to what I expect it will tomorrow. Only Nicky Law is likely to miss out through injury and it may be the fit-again Kenny Miller is preferred to Nathan Oduwa in one of the wider attacking roles. Gedion Zelalem will take Law's place and the rest of the team will be along familiar lines. Ironically, given their style of play at Ibrox in late October, it's Livi who have the more pressing injury problems and are apparently struggling to put together a full squad for tomorrow. Even so, after a two week break, Rangers fans will be expecting a refreshed first XI, eager to maintain our lead at the top of the table. With a wintry weather outlook, hopefully our fans will have plenty of goals to keep them warm tomorrow afternoon!

The Parenting Mantra, Examples & Stories

A “mantra” is a commonly repeated word or phrase. The application of this fourpart sequence of questions will help you with any decision making process that affects your children. Once learned, the sequence can serve as a cornerstone for almost any communication challenge.

PInk Rose

The quick memory device is: facts, goal, how, actions.

  1. What are the essential facts?
  2. What is your goal?
  3. How do the facts and your goal affect your children?
  4. Will your actions accomplish your goal?

As you organize your information to present to your lawyer, or the custody evaluator, or the judge, let the Parenting Mantra guide your decision making process about what is important to give to them in order to make an informed decision.

Memorize it. Practice it. Use it.

How To Apply the Parenting Mantra:

Examples And Stories

Short And Sweet Communication With Your Spouse

Whenever you communicate with your spouse, apply the Parenting Mantra. Keep your responses short and sweet. Keep your communications short and to the point. Less is more.

  1. What are the essential facts?
  2. What is your goal? (Knowing your goal helps you decide what you should do or say to your spouse.)
  3. How do the facts and your goal affect your children? (For example, is there a scheduling conflict, a school issue, or a medical concern?)
  4. Will your actions accomplish your goal?

Be “businesslike.” Do not bring in fighting words or even words of reconciliation. Remember, your late night drunk emails can become ammunition for the other side. If you were an evaluator, assuming you are going to be presented with emails, what emails or letters would you rather read?

A communication to your spouse can be effective if it simply says “Thank you for your email about Johnny’s band practice. I like your suggestion: you can pick him up after practice. Please have him at my house no later than 6:30 tonight.”

Calm, Rational Custody Disagreements With Your Spouse

You have custody of your child. You get an accusatory telephone call from your spouse telling you that she is not going to pay her half of the medical expenses you incurred for your children last week. She also tells you that you are not taking care of their medical needs and therefore she will not pay. You work as an assistant manager at a store; you can’t afford to pay for your spouse’s share of the medical costs. The phone call ends by your spouse telling you that you are not co-parenting effectively and damaging your children.

You are stunned because your spouse is required to pay half of your children’s medical expenses and their medical needs are more than being adequately addressed. Last week you received a phone call accusing you of not paying the health insurance because the medical provider had not filed the claim properly. You make a note of these two incidents in your log as related behavior: first, being accused of damaging children when the issue is simply a matter of finances; second, the logistics of handling health insurance claims. What does a disagreement over medical expenses have to do with parenting your children?

Your first reaction is to tell your spouse that she is clearly insane. You respond in an email without using the Parenting Mantra:

“What planet are you from? We each work and should pay half of their medical expenses. You don’t even go to the medical appointments so how do you know what is happening? You did this while we were married, jumping to these insane conclusions that everybody mentioned. Pay me the money or else. I am not kidding.”

“P.S. You didn’t ‘parent’ while we were married, so how would you know now what it means to be a parent. You’re nuts! I take care of our child’s medical needs. I can take care of our child better than you any day of the week and twice on Sundays. Your lack of integrity is hurting our child more than you know.”

When meeting with the evaluator, you can bet that this email will surface from your spouse to show you are:

  • Prone to histrionic behavior
  • Irrational
  • Threatening
  • Not credible

Worse, do you really think that this email will help? Let’s analyze the situation using the Parenting Mantra:

  1. What are the essential facts? (You incurred medical expenses for your child. The services were necessary and your child is being properly cared for. You and your spouse agreed to split all medical expenses and you cannot afford to pay them alone.)
  2. What is your goal? (To obtain funds from your spouse for their share of your child’s medical expenses.)
  3. How do the facts and your goal affect your child? (You are being put into a financial pinch that might affect the financial decisions you make about your child’s other needs. But that is really your issue,not your child’s.)
  4. Will your actions accomplish your goal? (You want to tell your spouse that she owes you money. You also want to tell her that your child is being cared for. Your first goal is really just “taking care of business.” Your second goal is to address, in matter-of-fact terms, your spouse’s accusations about your ability to make choices about medical care.)

Now that you have analyzed this situation using the Parenting Mantra, you write the following email:

“Johnny is being properly cared for by Dr. Jones. You are required to pay one-half of his unreimbursed medical expenses according to the judgment. I paid $600 to Dr. Jones today. Copies of the receipts are attached. Please send $300 by this Friday. Thanks.”

What have you accomplished? First and foremost, you just showed that you are reasonable and not prone to irrationality. More importantly, you did not provoke a fight, something that affects your ability to work together in the future.

How did you accomplish these goals?

  1. You stuck to the facts. Assume your email is going to go to the evaluator. Which email paints the better picture of you? Obviously the one you drafted using the Parenting Mantra.
    • Your emotional tone was neutral and businesslike. You did not engage in a retaliatory exchange of fighting words.
    • The facts involve your financial issue.
    • You left out any reference to your children. For example, you did not show that somehow you were using your spouse’s lack of cooperation to alienate your spouse from your children.
  2. You painted a calm, rational picture of yourself. You did not appear inappropriately angry. Your email was organized. In short, you appeared like a parent who is capable of intuitively parenting your children.
  3. In the long run, you have not started or perpetuated a conflict driven relationship with your spouse.
  4. In the short run, you are learning to moderate your responsive behavior.
  5. You have set up an important boundary. You will not tolerate inappropriate accusations from your spouse and you don’t have to respond in kind. With practice, you will be able to respond appropriately even if you are face to face!

If you have received other calls like this before, then you can chart them into a pattern. Evaluators like patterns because past behavior patterns can be an excellent predictor of future behavior. You are painting your appropriate parenting masterpiece by allowing the Parenting Mantra to help you. Let your spouse paint outside the lines.

Organizing Your Thoughts for the Interview With the Evaluator

In a normal conversation, we depend a great deal on nonverbal cues to let us know if we should talk more about a particular topic or change the subject and move on. In an interview with the evaluator, you cannot depend upon nonverbal cues to let you know what you should talk about or what you should cut short. A good evaluator will try to limit nonverbal cues, have a neutral expression, and ask neutral questions while they are gathering information.

This can be frustrating. You have just told the evaluator that your child has revealed to you that the other parent throws him against walls for punishment, and threatens him if he tells anyone. You have tears dripping down your face as you describe a very emotional event for you.

The evaluator doesn’t react, except to blandly say, “How did you react to your child telling you that?” “How did I react?” You think, “Why isn’t the evaluator emotional about my story? Why isn’t the evaluator as emotionally angry as I am about the clear abuse of my child? What kind of unfeeling robot is this evaluator, anyway?”

The lack of emotional response from the evaluator is intentional. You don’t want an evaluator to form an opinion early on, and then shut out further questions. Use the Parenting Mantra to organize your thoughts:

  1. What are the essential facts?
  2. What is your goal?
  3. How do the facts and your goal affect your children?
  4. Will your actions accomplish your goal?

You want the evaluator to have all of the facts before making an opinion. Even the questions that the evaluator asks may not reveal what the evaluator is thinking, particularly in the initial interview. If you are talking about an incident that you think was very important, and you do not get any nonverbal cues, you might be tempted to not give the evaluator the information because the evaluator doesn’t seem interested.

Follow the Mantra. You need to give the important information even if you don’t get nonverbal cues that the evaluator is interested. If the evaluator doesn’t have the information, he or she cannot consider it in forming an opinion.

Explaining Different Disciplinary Styles to the Evaluator

During the relationship, was there agreement on disciplinary styles? Was one parent more permissive, and reluctant to be the “bad guy” in the eyes of the children? Was one parent more authoritarian and rigid in discipline? How did the disciplinary styles affect your children?

If you believe that the other parent is using a permissive discipline style to entice the children to prefer that parent, talk about that and how it impacts the children. If you believe that the other parent is too harsh of a disciplinarian, and it has an adverse effect on the children, talk about that as well.

Here is another good opportunity to use the Parenting Mantra:

  1. What are the essential facts?
  2. What is your goal?
  3. How do the facts and your goal affect your children?
  4. Will your actions accomplish your goal?

If the other parent disciplines the child inappropriately, with an adverse effect on the children, be prepared to talk about that and why.

If there is a significant difference in discipline styles, talk about how that was handled during the marriage. If you don’t like the discipline style now, but didn’t have any objections to it during the marriage, it’s a little hard to be credible in raising the issue now.

What To Say and How To Say It When You Meet With the Evaluator Or Go To Court

Being prepared is critical for a meeting with an evaluator or for going to court. Your goal is to communicate information to the evaluator in a manner that shows you as a more than capable parent. That information is best delivered by using essential facts in calm, reasoned, and organized fashion.

The Parenting Mantra can be applied here if you are nervous and need preparation on what to say and how to say it to accomplish your goal.

  1. What are the essential facts?
  2. What is your goal?
  3. How do the facts and your goal affect your children?
  4. Will your actions accomplish your goal?

Be prepared to discuss the following with the evaluator:

  • Your current and anticipated work and living arrangements
  • Family members living in the marital residence
  • Significant others
  • Day care
  • Schools and school districts
  • Parenting schedule
  • Logistics of parenting schedule

Most of the above information is not hard to answer. This is your child and your family. You probably know this information off the top of your head. However, if you know generally what the questions are going to be, you will have more of an opportunity to reflect and answer thoughtfully. You won’t be surprised that you are being asked about things you may not have thought about in a while, such as your childhood, and its possible impact on your child.

Dealing With “TEMPORARY Insanity” During A Divorce

Finally, think about how you are going to approach all communication during the divorce and evaluation process. There are two contradictory assumptions, but both happen with enough regularity that judges and evaluators make those assumptions. One assumption is that everyone becomes temporarily insane during a divorce, especially a custody evaluation, and you say and do things that you would normally never consider doing. The behavior is out of the ordinary and you should be given some leeway. The other assumption is that you are aware of the seriousness of the custody decision and you should be on your best behavior.

Depending upon the context, both assumptions may be true at different times. There is a great cartoon with these images. Under the first picture, the caption reads, “If the law is against you, argue the facts.” Under the second image, the poster states, “If the facts are against you, argue the law.” The third caption captures the essence of hostile emails: “If the facts and the law are against you, call the other lawyer a schmuck!” Calling your spouse a schmuck, challenging his or her ancestry, or making derogatory remarks, even if you have been wronged, will only work against you. Being considered temporarily insane or acting inappropriately and out of control does not present your parenting in the best light. Instead, follow the Parenting Mantra:

  1. What are the essential facts? (Make your communications short and sweet.)
  2. What is your goal?
  3. How do the facts and your goal affect your children?
  4. Will your actions accomplish your goal? (Avoid angry name calling.)

Don't Fear the Reaper

By @Emrys1912
Don't Fear the Reaper

On Halloween night, ten years ago, Luke Larking was murdered. Rather than moving on to the Eternal Realm, he was chosen to be a Grim Reaper. A sacred duty passed down from generation to generation. But after ten years his killer becomes active again, and Luke must chose between his duty as a Reaper or justice for his murder.

Chapter 1

A Grim Reaper is a supernatural being whose duty is to capture lost souls. We are pretty much the bounty hunters of the other side. Reapers look like normal humans, but they are very powerful. No mortal weapon can harm them, they are highly trained in combat, they have unique abilities, and they carry scythes. In order to become a Reaper, he or she has to be a lost soul and chosen by a Reaper, but there are three rules that a Reaper must follow.

Rule One: A Reaper cannot reveal their true identity to any human.

Rule Two: A Reaper cannot kill a human.

Rule Three: A Reaper cannot fall in love with a human.

A Reaper must never break any of these rules, if they do, they will receive the ultimate punishment that is so severe that no one dares to talk about it. Very few Reapers break these rules because they’re easy to follow, as long as a Reaper doesn’t interfere with a human’s life, then they will be able to complete their duty and move on peacefully.

  4. Helping in the selection of all aspects of the interior of the house

  5. Ensuring the build programme remained on schedule / attending our weekly meetings with the builder

  6. Delivering the last 10% which is always the hardest bit at the end of the building programme

Ulicia was outstanding in her calm way, her deadly efficient manner of getting things done, meticulous attention to detail and clever eye for how to do things without spending a fortune, but above all, being the buffer between us and the builder and calming frantic clients on one hand while managing an over busy building company on the other.

In short we would have paid an Architect a considerable sum in fees for half the service –

Whatever project you might have in mind – extensions to full renovation to new build – using Ulicia with her long experience in building projects will not only save you money by careful buying but save you vast amounts of stress and worry.

We couldn’t  recommend her more

CONDUCTO® prevents electrostatic charges as per the Atex standard

When using synthetic belts, friction can lead to electrostatic charges during manufacturing. Our belts in the Conducto range prevent this effect.

With our patented system, our CONDUCTO® belts guarantee permanent electrostatic discharge as per the Atex standard. The interwoven bronze wires reliably discharge the electrostatic charges via the rollers.

In this way, our CONDUCTO® belts have already proven themselves in countless sectors. They are the preferred choice in the wood industry, where they are used as ventilation belts or as dryer belts in low-temperature dryers for the production of biomass and wood pellets. CONDUCTO® belts are used in many applications in the nonwovens industry, including forming processes, as well as in the hygiene industry for producing diapers.

Meryl Streep's Facial Reactions at the U.S. Open Have Spawned the Best Memes

Image may contain Meryl Streep Human Person Audience Crowd Sunglasses Accessories Accessory Clothing and Apparel
Jean Catuffe/Getty Images

Meryl Streep's Oscar-winning face has just created a whole new batch of memes. After becoming immortalized in the hallowed halls of meme history for cheering on Debbie Reynolds at the 2015 SAG Awards (a moment she re-created at the 2018 Oscars), not to mention the countless Miranda Priestly GIFs that rule Twitter with an impeccablymanicured fist, the iconic actress has once again spawned another meme—this time from the U.S. Open.

According to Time, it all went down during the men's final on Sunday between Novak Djokovic and Juan Martín del Potro. The cameras zoomed in on Streep's face during their super-intense match, and the results are absolutely priceless. ESPN and SB Nation described it best: Gasping with the suspense of it all, hands pressed against her cheeks, she was pretty much the IRL embodiment of the scream emoji (😱). Naturally, the Internet couldn't get enough, and it pretty much took over Twitter for the duration of the match. (According to HuffPost, Streep soon became aware of herself becoming a meme in real time, and cracked open a cold one just for the cameras.)

Below, here are some of the best memes created from Streep's reactions:

Remarkably, this isn't the only Streep meme from this year, or even over the past month. Back in August a picture from the Big Little Lies season two set took the Internet by storm. Truly a work of art, it features Reese Witherspoon (in character as Madeline Martha Mackenzie) tossing a massive ice cream cone at Streep (who's playing Perry's mother). Oh, Meryl. Never stop.

Kids Say the Darndest Patent Ideas

The other day I was telling my 6 year old what I do at my job. I told him that I did research for patents. I explained that a person will get a patent when they invent something new.

He said that he had several inventions in his head. The first one he explained to me was a truck with many bottle openers on it. He estimated 15-20. It would also include bottle openers on the roof in case you were really tall. Who knows where kids come up with this stuff.

I performed a search for any patents similar to this (not expecting to find much), but I found this clever idea: Patent US 6,286,392 titled Hitch cover with bottle opener assigned to Bergamont Inc. Although it only has a singular opener and doesnt come with a roof top option, its still pretty clever and useful. Im thinking this might be a tailgating necessity.

Print isn’t dead after all. This holiday shopping season, direct-to-consumer fashion brands are sending out ink-on-paper direct-mail catalogs to get shoppers’ attention while distinguishing themselves from Amazon.

In most cases, this isn’t a new idea. The brands have done print mailers or incorporating them into their marketing for seasons, so it’s become a proven tactic.

Walmart-owned Bonobos, for one, sends catalogs to customers on a regular basis; it produced seven this year and 10 in 2016. Bonobos co-president and former CMO Micky Onvural said new customers obtained through the catalog spend 15 percent more than those who don’t. What’s more, one in four customers who visit a Bonobos Guideshop references the catalog or brings it in for advice on featured styles.

For the holidays, the retailer will increase the catalog’s circulation to promote new and seasonal products.

“It’s about marrying brand, product and business simultaneously,” said Onvural. “You can capture someone’s undivided attention with a catalog and bring the Bonobos brand to life in a way you can’t digitally.”

Screen Shot 2017-11-16 at 2.43.26 PMA spread in Cuyana’s Holiday 2017 catalog

A print catalog is expensive, but can pay off, said Forerunner Ventures founder Kirsten Green, at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference in September. “It’s an ROI consideration. The best companies understand the spend and the productivity that results.”

San-Francisco based fashion brand Cuyana has sent out four print catalogs per year for the past three years. Eighty percent of the catalogs go to prospective customers — women who shop brands with like prices and aesthetics, and have an average household income of more than $150,000 per year — while 20 percent go to current shoppers of the brand. Co-founder Shilpa Shah said it’s the brand’s single biggest marketing expense.

The magazine, which resembles an art magazine, is considered a branding play, she said. Two to four photographers work on each issue to produce the featured large-format imagery. Captions are spare. “We designed it to story-tell; it’s very beautiful to look at, and shopping is a secondary part of the experience,” she said.

It’s been effective. In 2016, Cuyana increased the total circulation of its catalog by 50-65 percent, which led to a 200 percent increase in revenue from first-time customers. To build on that success, Shah and co-founder Karla Gallardo increased circulation of the fall and holiday 2017 catalogs by another 50 percent.

Screen Shot 2017-11-16 at 2.50.00 PMA page in the Anine Bing Winter 2017 catalog

Despite growing up digital, 66 percent of millennials — Cuyana’s target customers — say they open the direct mail they receive, according to a 2017 study by Experian marketing service. (The percentage is on par with the larger population.) What’s more, millennial respondents, on average, said they’d responded to a direct mail campaign within the prior 2.4 months, less than the average response time for all survey respondents.

Print cuts through the noise, said Shah. “When everything becomes as ubiquitous as an Amazon, how do you break through with your message and your meaning?” she asked. “Millennials value authenticity and a good customer experience. Common paid ads don’t feel authentic.”

According to the Data & Marketing Association, 9.8 billion catalogs were mailed to shoppers in 2016, and 100.7 million adults made a catalog purchase. The number of total direct-mail pieces has declined since 2005, but brands still find them useful.

Lunya, a sleepwear and loungewear company, released its first catalog in September. Driven by the traffic it drove to the site (Lunya would not release numbers), distribution of the follow-up — an eight-page holiday-focused booklet, which will be sent this week — will be ramped up by 76 percent.

“It’s a great way to tell our story, and create a tactile and emotional connection with the customer in her home, where she wears our product,” said Ashley Merrill, Lunya’s founder and CEO.

Screen Shot 2017-11-16 at 2.46.45 PMA page in the Lunya Holiday 2017 catalog

Women’s fashion brand Anine Bing is taking distributing a 12-page holiday catalog that includes a gift guide, full-page imagery and letter from the founder to active customers. It’s also including a catalog with orders placed this week through late December.

Other direct-to-consumer brands embracing print catalogs include San Francisco-based Marine Layer, known for soft basics, and Bando, a seller of gifts and accessories.

“There is something special and intimate about receiving something in the mail, especially when it comes from a digital-first brand that’s not sending out a catalog every two or three weeks, like the mall brands of the past,” said Dana Schwartz, founder of The Hours agency. “They’re instead choosing to send something thoughtful and purposeful to their subscribers that’s more about connecting community than anything else.”

Many traditional retailers that have done away with their catalogs in the past have relaunched them in the past three years; Sears just announced the comeback of its Wish Book in October. Neiman Marcus, on the other hand, has released its version, The Christmas Book, for the past 91 years. In today’s digital-focused world, they’re a novelty retailers across the board can use to their advantage.

“How do you win today?” asked Shah. “You have to leverage all of the things Amazon doesn’t have. Amazon isn’t doing this, so it’s one thing we want to keep in our arsenal.”

Star Wars Battlefront Shows Its Supremacy In A New Mode

by on August 14, 2015

The Hype is strong with this one.

DICE have made us aware of their territory controlled game mode Supremacy.

In the mode, the aim will be to use your team to control five points on the map. Both teams will start with two areas under their control, with aim to take over the other three.

The control points will have to be fought for in a particular order which will lead to more concentrated battle areas so at some points you will be attacking an area while on others your will have to pull back and defend.

DICE have promised frantic and immediate action every time you respawn to keep you in the middle of the action.

Keep your eyes in the skies as well as X-wings and TIE fighters will be there to provide aerial support as well.

The Heroes and Villains will make an appearance as well, so expect to run into Mr Fett, Mr Skywalker and his Dad, Mr Vader.

Supremacy will be played out over the largest maps in the game, so expect absolute carnage.

There is of course no point in reminding you that Battlefront will be launch on November 19, I feel the hype, flowing through your veins.

Sociology of Economics, Work, and Organizations

The “Sociology of Economics, Work, and Organizations” research unit is dedicated to fundamental and current social science research and teaching embedded in the complementary fields of economic sociology and sociology of work and organizations. We cover, for example, social theory on the social and institutional principles of economic processes, perspectives on institutional and social dynamics of financial and labour markets, processes of sustainable economic development and their cultural, moral and political considerations, technological and social innovation processes, entrepreneurship, and consumption. We investigate the transformation of work, changing production conditions, social inequalities at work including gendered work, diversity and precarity, links between work and private life, careers, professions and professionalization. Additionally, our research and teaching are concerned with the management and transformation of private and public enterprises as well as the dynamics of social networks.  Where possible and useful, we adopt an internationally comparative historical and/or life course perspective.

From a theoretical standpoint, we take a range of approaches: structuralist market and network theories, practice theory concepts to understand economic action, institutionalist approaches for comparative capitalism and innovation systems research, social-constructivist market and technology analyses as well as sociological theories of subjectification, recognition and critique. Our broad methodical spectrum ranges from quantitative empirical social research to network analysis to qualitative methods of reconstructive social research.

Lena Waithe: Making History and Taking the Big Swings

by Margaret Gardiner October 1, 2017
Lena Waithe

Rick Proctor

Lena Waithe is so fly and so swaggy. That she also happens to be the first African-American woman to win an Emmy for outstanding writing for a comedy series, which she shared with Aziz Ansari for the Thanksgiving episode of Master of None, based on Lena’s real life when she came out to her family, is payoff for a life of stepping up. Born in Chicago into a matriarchy of strong, black women, she says: “I have always felt like I have every right to walk into any room I have ever walked into.” She states confidently when asked about gender: “Walking into a room full of white dudes from Harvard is nothing compared to what my ancestors had to go through and survive, so for me, this is light work.” “Sometimes people will make you feel like, ‘Oh, just sit over there and be quiet.” She pauses for full effect. “But I have never been good at being quiet or sitting still. I’ve always been someone to work for everything I have, so no one has ever been brave enough to say it to me because I’m not sure what my reaction would be.”

Angela Basset and Lena Waithe on the set of "Master of None"

Angela Basset and Lena Waithe on the set of Master of None

Rick Proctor

A self-professed hustler, Waithe grew up watching A Different World and The Cosby Show. “I know (Cosby’s) reputation has been tarnished but if it weren’t for Thursday Nights ‘Must-See-TV’ I wouldn’t be where I am today. It’s like for kids who were born when Barack Obama was president – it was normal for them to have a black man as president. When I was growing up it was normal to see good black movies and good black TV. There was a renaissance going on. That was the time of Spike Lee, John Singleton, and Debbie Allen who helped shape A Different World into what it became. If it weren’t for her, Susan Fales-Hill and Yvette Lee Bowser, the show would not be as iconic as it is. I got to watch my people make great art. Myself and Misha Green, the creator of Underground, were talking, and she said, “Have you ever thought about the fact that you, me, Barry Jenkins, Danny Glover, Justin Simien and Issa Rae are all the same age? We grew up watching similar things.’ I don’t think it’s a coincidence.” Research shows that people look for role models to emulate. By having diversity represented it opens the world of possibilities, and yet people still suggest that in entertainment telling stories of diversity doesn’t do well.

Lena chuckles. “Yeah, we can look at the numbers, (that call out that lie) and still it is framed as a surprise that a movie like Girls Trip does well. When Moonlight wins best picture, when Atlanta wins the Golden Globe for Best Comedy, when I get to take home an award for best writing in comedy for an episode that is a thinly veiled version of my coming out, when that happens, the fact that the misconception still exists is an effort to maintain the status quo. Nobody likes for the paradigm to shift when you are the person benefiting from the paradigm. It’s not just people of color who are wanting to see these stories. People are being exposed to stories that don’t look like everything else. (The audience has) been exposed to the same stories since Birth of a Nation and Nate Parker retold that story. We are in a transitional phase whether people like it or not. The industry is going to have to start to unlearn some of its behaviors and change the way they do business. I don’t think the guys that have power are going to go quietly into the night. We have to find a way to work together because our world is diverse and complex. It is a melting pot of different cultures and people of different sexual orientations and I believe our film and TV should reflect that.”

Waithe is working to make sure that world is represented and she is a triple-threat: acting, writing and producing. When we discuss her new hour-long drama, The Chi, she tells me, “It’s a nickname Chicagoans have given the city. It’s a multi-protagonist story. It’s about what it means to be black and human and on the Southside of Chicago.” Lena also doesn’t back away from inadvertently becoming the poster child for the LGBQTIA community. “I never thought that I had to hide my sexuality or that it would hurt my career. I’ve always been proud of who I am and being gay is part of that.”

This is clearly a great time to be Lena Waithe, but she’s not about to rest on her laurels. “I want to be able to take risks and big swings and try things that feel crazy. I want the freedom to write something bad and not feel the pressure to be amazing because I am the first black woman to ever win an Emmy for writing in a comedy series.”

Titleist introduces new limited-edition Vokey Design AD-siXty wedges

Aaron Dill, the PGA Tour rep for Vokey wedges, was hand-picked for the job by Master Craftsmen Bob Vokey, according to Titliest, and he has spent the last 10 years learning from Bob Vokey himself. Dill, or “AD,” has also established a cult-like following among equipment aficionados for his one-off wedge stampings on the wedges of tour players, most notably for the popular hip-hop lyrics on Justin Thomas’ wedges and cult-classic movie quotes on Morgan Hoffmann’s wedges.

Screen Shot 2017-09-19 at 1.55.03 PM

Now, Dill created his own limited-edition “AD-siXty” Vokey wedges, which were inspired by conversations with Geoff Ogilvy, and they will sell for a starting price of $250 on September 20 through WedgeWorks.

“I spoke with Geoff (Ogilvy) and we got on the topic of Australian golf courses and how they related to courses in America,” Dill said. “I asked him some questions and came up with an idea to complement the firm, links-style conditions that players face. Geoff was always a low-bounce player in his 60 (degree wedge). Originally, he used a T-grind, then was introduced to the L, and that has remained a good friend since. I used original chassis that he had in the L and removed the ribbon, taking the bounce down.”

The AD-siXty wedge has four degrees of bounce and it’s most similar to the L grind, according to Dill, but the AD-siXty has a lower bounce angle in the front of the wedge helping it sit closer to the ground, and it’s designed for a higher flight. It’s especially made for those who play from firm conditions and for bunker play, and the grind has heel, toe and trailing edge relief. The wedges will also be equipped with Vokey’s TX4 groove technology for maximum spin, progressive center of gravity for distance and launch control, and they have a Brushed Nickel finish.

“The AD-siXty will be very different than the low bounce 60-06K,” Dill said. “It will flight higher and be less bounce in most situations, which makes it a great option for firm conditions and bunkers. This wedge is most similar to the L Grind (60-04), but it has lower bounce angle in the front, which makes it sit closer to the ground. With the ribbon removed, players may also notice a somewhat smoother feel and a faster glide through the rough.”

Dill’s limited-edition wedges can be personalized with stampings up to eight characters and with one-of-12 paintfill colors, as well as custom grips, shaft bands and ferrules. They will come stock with BV Wings grips. Click here for more information and purchasing.

    I love the rusty Titleist wedges, they look naturally awesome!
    Why don’t they leave the other irons as raw forgings and let them rust too?

      I understand, but grinding can take awhile. That’s really why they only personally grind for tour pros. He will effectively make a prototype and then they semi-mass produce them. The heads prepped for grinding are likely cast from carbon steel just like the mass produced models and the final shape is literally the same. It will glide through the turf the same too. When Ogilvey gets a replacement, it may very well be the production model.

Zozo Championship Tour Truck Report: Phil’s new driver and 2-wood, Tiger testing a new 3-wood

Slower week than most at Sherwood but still a couple of nuggets—and who doesn’t love a Tiger/Phil equipment update?

Phil Mickelson: After his (two drivers in the bag) win on the PGA Tour Champions, Lefty went full gearhead and continued to test not only the new Apex MB ’21 irons (6-PW) but also put a 47.5-inch Callaway Mavrik Sub Zero in the bag. The (low-lofted) 9-degree head, set now at 8 degrees (swing weight at D7) will be equipped with either a Project X HZURDUS Smoke Green 60 6.5 or a KBS TD 60G C5 TX.

In addition, Phil is bringing back the 2-wood having put a 43.5-inch, 12.5-degree “old school” X Hot 3 Deep. The idea with both is distance gain (non-shocker) for example on Tour there are a number of bunkers, forced carries at the 300+ clip and to be able to fly by those on command is a huge advantage. Dispersion will suffer a bit in this scenario, but that’s what the 2-wood is for. The new driver set up got Phil about 8 mph of additional ball speed and on avg a 310 carry. The 2 wood is to fill the larger gap created by the driver—this new fairway metal gives Phil about 280-285 carry.

Tony Finau: Ping G425 LST (9 @7.5 Big-) with Diamana D+ 70TX tipped 1.5

Andrew Landry: Ping G425 LST (9 @8.75, flat) with Fujikura Ventus Blue 6X (46 Inches)

Joaquin Niemann: New Ping G425 7-wood (20.5 @20) in the bag with Graphite Design Tour AD DI 8X (20.5, 40.5 inches).

Slow week, no major updates to report beyond Aaron Dill making 9,000 wedges for the players in early Augusta prep…

Tiger Woods is testing a SIM Ti 3-wood with a Mitsubishi Chemical Diamana D+ 70 TX shaft. The 15-degree 3-wood is set at 14.25 and is on the upright setting. (42.5, D4, Golf Pride BCT 58R). Won’t know if it goes in play until tomorrow tee off…

Paris Experience

I had a very memorable and enjoyable experience abroad, studying abroad was something I've wanted to do my whole life so it was very fulfilling to me. I was able to form friendships and explore Europe just as I had hoped. Being this far away from home for so long was understandably nerve wracking at first, but it is an experience I would not trade. Due to living in Paris, there was always something to do, it was particularly helpful having the SAI newsletter that was informative on events and holidays to take part it. My school also had several events throughout the year for its students, this is a good way for international students to meet people. Overall, I had a great study abroad experience, and it allowed me to gained a sense of independence.

Yes, I recommend this program

10/10 would recommend

Love love love SAI in Paris. The program provided me with the most unbelievable semester in terms of experiences and personal growth! 10/10 would recommend! If you are in doubt on whether or not you should go abroad, just do it, especially with SAI in Paris. I personally went to the Paris School of Business, but the students in this program can be enrolled in art, fashion, or even general arts and sciences schools which enabled us all to have experiences outside of our comfort zone. This was possibly the most exciting and enriching time of my life.

Fall Must Have ..The Pencil Skirt

Houndstooth Pencil $88.00

Every Glamour Girl (no matter what size or shape) should own at least one pencil skirt! It looks good on everyone-and is so versatile. Dress it up, dress it down -the pencil skirt offers a multitude of fashionable options.

When purchasing a pencil skirt you need only remember a few basic rules:

1. Fit is KEY!

2. If you find the perfect pencil and it fits at the hip but the waist is to big just have it taken in at your favorite tailor. If it’s tight all over go up a size (and have it tailored to fit).If the label inside bothers you with the stated number that you’re wearing-just cut out the label and tuck it away so you can remember the cleaning instructions).

3.The best length is either at the knee or just above if you have great legs.

As I sourced the web to  find the perfect pencil I went to numerous fashion sites…but surprise ..surprise who else but the peeps at White House Black Market had the best selection, the most affordable prices ($88.00 for most styles and $78.00 for the uber basic) not to mention fantabulous reviews). So “pencil yourself  in” this fall must have. You’ll be so glad you did!

Colorblock Ponte Pencil $88.00 (super slimming)

Flocked Dot Pencil $88.00

Tweed Pencil $88.00

Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan attended the opening of “Baze - 2014” annual pan-Armenian youth gathering in Tsakhkadzor (Kotayk Marz). Complimenting those present on the occasion, the Prime Minister noted, “”Baze” youth camp is based on the noble idea of holy triple union of the Armenian nation, which implies promoting patriotism through cohesion, preserving traditions, identifying and developing young people’s skills.

The big game is this weekend, as the Kansas City Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers. No matter if you are watching for the action or commercials, great food is always necessary. We have looked to our cable channel, Food Network for some of our favorite game day recipes.

Cheesy Bacon-Jalapeno Dip

Imagine scooping up the spicy and creamy flavors of a jalapeno popper with a chip. This dip provides those classic flavors without the mess or tedious work of stuffing jalapenos and wrapping them in bacon. Just mix everything in a baking dish, top it with breadcrumbs and bake for 30 min.

BBQ Pulled Pork Nachos

If you are having a party and looking for a recipe that people can customize, these nachos are perfect. Braise the pork ahead of time and set up the toppings for people to choose what they prefer. The smokey pork will be a great base to a fun nachos bar.

Bacon-Cheese Pizza Bombs

As Eddie Jackson explains in the video, these pizza bombs are “one-handers,” making them portable and perfect for your game day party. Combining the flavors of garlic knots and pizza, adults and kids alike will enjoy the punch of flavor these pack in each bomb.

Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese

This is no ordinary mac and cheese. It is a mix of four cheeses melding together to create a silky sauce with a roux base, that perfectly balances the spice from the buffalo sauce. Baking it before serving will help the sauce to tighten and all the flavors to combine.

You can catch the big game this Sunday, February 2 on FOX at 5:30 CT. If you are not currently a Great Plains Communications cable customer and would like to learn about the services we offer in your area, call our Customer Response Center at 1-855-853-1483.

My Favorite Things

Post date: Aug 25, 2011 7:04:16 PM

August 25, 2011 - Is the summer already over? It seems as though the past several months have flown by. Grady Jeremiah continues to grow and develop well! He now weighs 14 pounds 10 ounces! Last week we went back to UAB for two visits. One was a research study follow up. There a child psychologist evaluated Grady Jeremiah. Developmentally our little guy is between the 6-10 month mark for each area! Remember that he is 9 months actual age and 6 months corrected age, which is what they use for his developmental assessments. So we are very pleased with his progress. The next day we returned to the newborn follow up clinic. The many doctors and specialists we saw were also pleased with his progress. They said that Grady Jeremiah does not look like he was a 26 week premature baby! Thank you for your continued prayers for him! We want to take a minute to show you some of Grady Jeremiah's "favorite things." No, they are not rain drops on roses and whiskers on kittens like the old song goes, but they are...

Grady Jeremiah loves his books! One of his favorite activities is us laying on the floor next to him reading him one of his books. He will stare at the pictures, touch the pages, and makes lots of sweet sounds. He is even trying to learn how to turn the pages for himself, though it usually results in him closing the book!

(2) TOYS

Grady Jeremiah loves to play. He is very fun-loving and a happy baby. One of his favorite toys is actually one of Grady's old toys... colored rings! He loves to hold them, throw them, and try to take them off of the holder. In this picture, he had dropped the green ring on his head and was looking confused as to where it was :-)

Grady Jeremiah loves to watch the rain! We take him on the front porch where he can watch the storms come in and watch the rain fall. He is so happy! So maybe raindrops on the sidewalk are part of his favorite things.

Grady Jeremiah loves being outside! Julia takes him out for walks almost every day and he loves it. He loves watching Grady cut the grass. He especially loves touching leaves on the trees in our yard.

Up until last week, Grady Jeremiah was only eating breast milk with a daily vitamin. It amazes us how well he has grown on just milk! We are now beginning to introduce him to single grain cereal and baby food. He still likes his bottle better, but does enjoy making a mess with whatever food we are trying to introduce to him. Speaking of his bottle, he now likes to grab his bottle and shake it, sending milk drops flying! It is cute, though a bit messy :-)

We have lots more cute pictures besides these!
