Mike Domitrz Mike Domitrz

One of the founding experts for helping institutions create a culture of respect, Mike Domitrz shares critical skill sets proven to produce long-term impact on organizational culture. Decades before mainstream America was discussing “Asking First” or sexual harassment cases were on the cover of every major media publication, Mike was being brought in by leading educational institutions and the U.S. military to help them pursue a new standard of consent and respect. Having authored three books and an award-winning DVD, he is one of the world’s leading influencers and thought leaders on the topic of respect.

Mike has been featured on NBC Dateline as a subject matter expert and quoted in international news publications. He is continuously sought for his proven track record of helping shift the paradigm for people.

In 2002, Mike founded what is now is The Center for Respect which conducts trainings for tens of thousands each year. Today, small and large companies and associations turn to Mike to help them do what he has done for universities and the U.S. Military - create a culture of respect throughout their organizations.

Mike’s extensive experience and talent as a speaker enables him to connect with audiences of all ages in honest, unique conversations that are always built on creating positive behavioral change for each individual and the organization as a whole. Imagine teaching 15-year-olds about “Asking First” and then later that same day talking with admirals and generals about creating mutually amazing relationships. This demonstrates how Mike successfully connects with each person in any audience.

At PDD 2019, Mike will facilitate two sessions – “Building a Culture of Respect Throughout Your Current and Future Projects” and “The Respect Revolution in Project Management.”

Discovering the past, present and future of the Emirate at Dubai’s museums

Dubai has more museums than you may think, ranging from historic sites that tell the magical story of the Emirate’s rich history and heritage, to modern museums that give visitors a glimpse of what life was like in the early days of the United Arab Emirates. Visiting a museum in Dubai is the perfect way to learn more about the rich culture of this dynamic and ever-evolving city.

Dubai’s museums can be categorized in several ways, but the one that strikes us as the most suited is to divide them into the past, present and future, which not only plays testament to the city’s the rich history and heritage but also showcases its dynamic present and promising future.

Exploring the Past

There are many historical sites and museums to explore in Dubai if you are interested in a glimpse of what life was like in the early days in the United Arab Emirates, and even before the UAE was formed in 1971.

Not to be missed on your trip is a visit to Dubai Museum, probably the most well-known museum in Dubai. located in the heart of old Dubai close to the Creek, Dubai Museum is situated inside Al Fahidi Fort, the oldest building in town. Dubai museum first opened in 1971, the same year the United Arab Emirates was formed. Here you can learn everything about the rich history and trading heritage of the Emirates and discover the magnificent history of pearl-diving in the region.

The Al Fahidi Historical Neighborhood is like a museum itself and we highly recommend spending some time exploring this important heritage site and unique historic district to get a glimpse of what life was like. Much of the original infrastructure and architecture is still intact here, including the traditional wind towers that provided air and cooling to its residents.

Dubai Museums

Another great historic site and museum in Dubai to visit is Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoum House Dubai where you have the opportunity to visit a former royal residence that’s now a museum, featuring artifacts and other historical items that uncover Dubai’s rich past.

To learn more about the contemporary history and culture of the United Arab Emirates, head toThe Etihad Museum in Jumeirah. This Dubai museum features a series of interactive and multimedia displays and you can also visit the Union House here, the historic site where the constitution was signed in 1971.

Present in the moment

The rapid growth and development of Dubai has seen the city evolve in all aspects of life, including the city’s arts and culture scene. There are some great museums to visit that allow you to explore Dubai in the present, here are some highlights:

  • Museum of Illusions – great for the young and the young at heart, this Dubai museum is real experience and will entertain, educate and thrill you with its many unbelievable illusions from the minute you arrive to the time you leave. It’s an Instagram-worthy spot too so make sure to bring your camera!
  • Not strictly a museum in Dubai, but a hot, hip and happening district that features some of the city’s best art galleries and shops, Al Serkal Avenue in Al Quoz is another one of Dubai’s must visit places. Here you also have the opportunity to meet some of Dubai’s best creative talent and local artists
  • Also not classified as a museum in Dubai, but more than worth a visit, is the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding where you have the opportunity to get a deeper understanding of the culture and customs of the UAE – past and present- with the center’s motto: ‘Open Doors, Open Minds’.  You can sign up for a guided tour of a mosque or enjoy a traditional Emirati breakfast all while learning more about Dubai’s culture.

What the future holds

Dubai’s museums don’t just focus on the past and present, but also look towards the future with several amazing new attractions coming to the city very soon. Here are two new museums to look out for on your next visit:

  • Museum of the Future – Located in a striking and iconic new building on Sheik Zayed Road, this museum is set to become a showcase for a new era and a center of hope and creativity
  • Terra- The Sustainability Pavilion will be part of Expo 2020 Dubai in 2021 and is dedicated to the future, protection and preservation of the Earth

by Magnum
  • Increases Sex Drive
  • Amplifies Mood
  • Reduces Stress
  • Improves Energy & Stamina

Instincts® not only reduces the stress caused by an inability to perform under pressure, it also maximizes sexual desire and potency. The combination of alleviating fatigue, improving physical endurance, enhancing libido, and restoring sexual function will make you feel like a teenager again.

Having a strong desire for sex will do no one good if you falter when it is time to perform. Instincts® is an excellent choice for men looking to produce strong, hard erections. Multiple studies demonstrate that key ingredients in Instincts® are responsible for sex drive, arousal, vigor, nitric oxide production, cCMP and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). VEGF plays a role in restoring a man’s ability to have an erection naturally. It repairs and improves the function of the blood vessels within the corpus cavernosum, the sponge-like regions of erectile tissue that contain most of the blood in the penis during penile erection. In 2008, research showed when nitric oxide production is increased, new smooth muscle cells are made in the corpus cavernosum and VEGF is secreted. This restores normal blood vessel function and the ability to have an erection. Last but not least, Instincts® will increase your production of testosterone, resulting in better sperm: quantity, quality, motility.

To light up worlds: The Greenwich Unveiling

Henrietta Godling, who came from a family of 19th Century timber importers, is sometimes called the first portologist.

As a young woman she had visited the Great Exhibition of 1851 and happened to be present at the Vacuum Sugar Event, at which a window to a celestial realm briefly opened. It sparked a lifelong interest in London’s ‘strange occurrences’.

Though she never used the word ‘portal’, the connections Godling drew between historical events like the House of Hidden Things and the Quaerium inform research to this day.

Godling planned to open London’s first museum on the subject – and might have done, had she not discussed her findings with her cousin, the scientist Arthur Longthorn, and set in train a series of events that would carry her knowledge far from what she had in mind.

We have written before about the Victorian ‘World Door’ movement. Our post on Henderson’s Door details how a vast, electrically-powered portal was undone by a public feud between its creator Frederick Henderson and Longthorn.

That feud had its origins in Longthorn’s own scientific breakthrough, an event widely considered to have kickstarted Victorian interest in London’s volatile temporal borders: the Greenwich Unveiling.

Godling’s research had convinced Longthorn that opening doors between worlds was possible. Longthorn, who had connections in the Royal Navy, knew that theories of time-travel and other interdimensional trickery were of interest to imperial power as well as science. What’s more, he thought he could make those theories a reality.

Armed with technological drawings and (spurious) reports that the Spanish had already built such a device, he secured Navy funding and a small plot at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich.

The proximity to the observatory proved fruitful. Longthorn built a domed structure, and employed telescope makers and engineers to install a mechanism that could direct electrical power across the building’s interior hemisphere.

Longthorn called it his ‘Worlds Machine’, and in November 1869 invited Henderson, Godling, and a handful of others to his Great Unveiling.

What stands out from reports of that night is the very real physical danger the attendees were in. According to Godling, they went into the machine ‘dressed for the Arctic or the deep dark Sea’ – Longthorn provided insulated footwear and clothing, including rubber helmets fitted with thick earmuffs.

As the small crowd stood in a circle in the centre of the building, facing outwards, Longthorn directed a ‘violent and unbridled stream of electricity’ toward the upper part of the room.

It was in the space between the flashes of electrical light and the shadows of the inner-dome that other worlds were glimpsed. Someone thought they saw an ‘impossible city’. Someone else, geological structures like ‘the pocked surface of a distant moon’.

But the vision seen by most of the attendees was a ‘great comet’.

And it is the comet that leads some today to believe they have cracked a long held mystery – where exactly did Longthorn’s Worlds Machine stand?

By 1880 the Navy had lost interest in Longthorn’s ‘impracticable research’. His device – and the building that housed it – was dismantled.

No official details of the Worlds Machine survive. But did the architect of a later observatory leave clues to its location?

The Altazimuth Pavillion (pictured above) was built in 1899 to house an altitude-azimuth orienting telescope. Today it is home to a science exhibition. And, many believe, stands on Longthorn’s site.

One alleged clue is its porthole design, said to recall the ring of iron apertures around the top of Longthorn’s building, through which thick wires channeled electricity from battery units circling the dome.

Then there is the code which some claim to have found in the brickwork, spelling out Longthorn’s name.

But it is the Pavillion’s comet-shaped weathervane (which dates from 1901 and is fashioned after the Bayeux Tapestry’s depiction of Haley’s comet) that for many is a coincidence too far.

Because attendees at the Greenwich Unveiling didn’t just report seeing a comet. Several of them would become haunted by the vision. One, the artist John Derrick, incessantly drew cosmic scenes for decades after.

Henrietta Godling herself was troubled by visions of the comet for the rest of her life. In her dreams the ‘vaporous rock’ was ‘close to me, in the voidness of space, in the vast, terrible silence, close, and ever-moving in its unknown purpose’.

She became convinced that the comet was part of a continuous thread that went back to what she witnessed at the Great Exhibition. It became hard for her to reconcile this with the fact that, contrary to her expectations, she saw interest in London’s fractious temporal condition wane within her lifetime.

Her headstone bears an inscription taken from James Thomson’s 18th Century poem, The Seasons:

While, through the wilds of barren ether,
They see the blazing wonder rise anew

    While, from his far excursion thro’ the wilds
    Of barren ether, faithful to his time,

    They see the blazing wonder rise anew,

    Lovely! I was puzzled at first by the scansion in the James Thomson quote but verified that there are some words left out. If I can leave out ‘autem’ in ‘tunc autem facie ad faciem‘ (‘but then face to face’) in my quote from St Paul on Nan and Gramps’s memorial stone at Storrington, Godling’s headstone can leave a few words out.
    I love the echo of the building in the tapestry depiction of the comet.
    Before we moved into the flat to let the builders put in air source heat pump heating at S.C. I was reading Erasmus Darwin’s ‘Loves of the Plants’ (or rather, the second vol which I bought by mistake instead of the first), have you ever read it?

    Emma Tristram

    • Apparently Henrietta Godling was mildly addicted to blackberry wine and the copy the engravers had to work from was covered in purple stains.

      No, I haven’t read ‘Loves of the Plants’. Reading about it now. Volume one sounds good, too!

    Have you considered creating a podcast series?
    Your content is so en pointe it deserves a wider audience.
    My current favourite is The Magnus Archives but your stories do bring to mind Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman.
    Wishing you a fruitful future and many eldritch tale to come.

    • Thank you, glad you like the blog. I have considered a podcast from time to time, but haven’t got much further than that!
      I will check out the Magnus Archives, thank you. I’m not familiar with Neverwhere (I’m avoiding it until – if ever – this project is over) but I’m sure Coraline and The Graveyard Book lurk in the crowd of influences.

1. Up to 200 protein staining spots could be detected on two-dimensional electrophoresis of urine from healthy persons. Other minor spots were occasionally present.

2. Although the electropherograms exhibited constant characteristic features some variation in protein pattern was observed between individuals and with a given individual at different times.

3. Two additional proteins, spots C and D, were consistently present in urine from boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Spot C was also present in the urine of about 60% of obligatory carriers of this dystrophy.

4. The protein responsible for spot C had a molecular weight of 26000 and an isoelectric point of 5.3.

5. Spot C was also detected in the urine of patients with other neuromuscular conditions. Neither spot C nor spot D could be detected in the urine of patients with physical disabilities other than those of neuromuscular origin.

6. It is concluded that the urinary excretion of spot C, and probably of spot D, is a consequence of muscle damage and that their detection has potential as a diagnostic tool.

In an industry that has roots in Silicon Valley, can the Midwest even hold a candle to the West Coast?

I caught up with SproutBox co-founder, Brad Wisler, hot off the heels of the first successful exit of one of their “sprouts,” MyJibe. We had a chance to talk about what makes the Midwest a good spot to start a software company:

SproutBox Says: dealflow pipes are pumping out good opportunities.

SproutBox is finding their best deals from the Midwest. In fact, six out of the last seven SproutBox deals came from Midwest cities. Their most recent deal, Vaultworthy, is still in stealth mode. But the founders will launch the new startup from Chicago early this year.

This ample supply of dealflow is steadily changing the investment environment in the Midwest. As more deals see more successful exits, a larger quantity of angels, VCs, and accelerators like SproutBox will look to pump their dollars into high-potential startups in pursuit of positive returns.

Startup culture has shifted for the better.

The playing field has been leveled a little bit as all the pieces have fallen into place. Now, there’s a true startup community in the Midwest. And as startup support groups grow and co-working spaces pop up, young talent is growing less risk averse and more interested in startups.

SproutBox plays an important role in startup ecosystem by connecting at startup events, hosting open office hours, and collaborating with local government.

The startup talent pool is filled to the brim.

There’s no doubt about it: there’s something about the Midwest that cultivates exceptional work ethic.

Combine that with top-ranked universities and you’ll find a community that’s primed to produce business with sound foundations. This is great for SproutBox, since they invest primarily in what they call “idea-stage” companies.

Nationwide, there aren’t many people doing idea stage deals because it’s perceived as high risk. But with Midwest talent and a proven track record of execution, SproutBox feels that they mitigate that risk by helping build the product. So far, results seem to confirm their hypothesis.

Deep founder collaboration gives SproutBox an edge, but it’s hard to ignore the advantage that they gain by situating themselves in the heart of a rapidly evolving startup community. How will you seize the opportunity?

How to Cut Pavers with a Circular Saw?

Whether you’re a DIYer or a tool enthusiast, if you want to build a patio, driveway, or walkway, you will need to cut either brick, stone, or concrete pavers (according to your choice). There is a variety of tools that you can use to cut these pavers. However, in our case, we’ll be using a circular saw to show you how it’s done.

Alright, to cut pavers with a circular saw, you must make sure that your circular saw’s RPM is 3000 or above for high cutting speed. Next, you need to get a diamond masonry blade for your circular saw. Once you’ve done that, you’ll need to get all the required materials, such as the pavers to be cut, and take some safety precautions, such as wearing goggles.

After that, set up your equipment, mark a cutting line on the pavers and begin the cutting process. Be sure to start with a shallow depth of the blade and then gradually, increase it. Also, first, cut the top side and then the bottom side. Finally, when the cutting is done, use a hammer to tap along the cutting line to separate the required and the waste pieces.

Below, we’ll be taking a dig into the details of how to cut pavers with a circular saw. So, let’s get started!

How to Cut Pavers with a Circular Saw

Circular Saw

  • Measuring tape
  • A pencil or chalk
  • Circular saw with a sharp diamond masonry blade
  • Non-slip mat
  • Hammer
  • Gloves
  • Goggles
  • Ear Protection
  • Dust mask
  • Blue painter’s tape

Step-by-Step Procedure

Circular Saw cutting wood

Equip the Safety Gear

Your safety always comes fast. So, before you proceed to take on any task involving a circular saw, here’s what you need to do:

  • Since the cutting exercise is likely to produce a lot of dust, put on a dust mask.
  • To prevent the fly-offs from damaging your eyes, wear safety goggles.
  • For the protection of your hands, put on gloves.
  • The cutting process also produces a lot of noise so do wear ear protection as well.

Marking the Cut

The first step when you start the actual process of cutting pavers with a circular saw is to measure the space you need to fill in your layout and transfer that measurement to your paver. Now, using a pencil along with a square or straightedge tool, mark the cutting line across the top surface of the paver. Extend the line to the bottom surface.

Set the Paver

Next, set the pavers on a surface with a good grip, such as a rubbery all-purpose grip mat, so that it doesn’t wobble during the cutting exercise.

Set Up the Circular Saw

After that, equip your circular saw with the diamond masonry blade required to cut the paver you’re installing. Remember that in the case of a stone paver, make sure that the blade you use is marked for stones because stones are much harder than both bricks and concrete so other masonry diamond blades won’t work on them.

Having done that, set the blade to an initial depth of 1/8 to ¼ inches. A shallow depth is selected to begin with so that binding and kicking of the circular saw can be prevented.

Cut on the Upper Side

Then, begin cutting along the marked line, starting with the top surface. Make the blade go back-and-forth a few times. With each successive pass across the surface, keep increasing the depth until it reaches the depth of ½ to 1 inch.

Cut on the Bottom Side

next, turn over the pavers and start cutting them the same way as you did on the top side.

Break Along the Cuts

Finally, once you’ve fully cut both the top and the bottom side, place the paver flat and hammer along the cutting line to obtain the desired pieces.

General Safety Tips

Circular Saw

While cutting pavers with a circular saw, here’s what you need to keep in mind:

  • Try to make as deeper cuts as possible with the circular saw. This way, the required pieces will easily fall upon hammering.
  • If the blade takes too much time to make a cut, sharpen it.
  • Never touch the revolving saw blade and remain patient to the point when it is motionless.
  • After the task is completed, switch off the circular saw and clean the blade.
  • To prevent the bottom of your circular saw from scratches, cover it with blue painter’s tape. Remove the tape when you’re done with the task.
  • Make sure to read our guide on preventing circular saw kickback!

Now that you’ve read about the steps involved in cutting pavers with a circular saw, you must’ve realized that this exercise is not as difficult as it seems. All you have to do is take certain mandatory precautions, follow some basic instructions, and practice with spare pavers and you’re good to go.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Q: What is the difference between the KN95 and N95?

      A: Different countries have their own code for respirators with ≥95% filtration. The KN95 is the China code while the N95 is the USA code. The various global respirators have slightly shape differences and appearances, but they are all build to achieve the same thing: ≥95% filtration efficiency. 3M and other reputable corporations have reviewed the various global equivalent respirators that all offer the same protective filtration percentage.

      Q: Where are your masks manufactured?

      A: The current brands are Made in China, manufactured in our own dust-free sanitized factory and managed by U.S. team.

      Q: I see your masks are manufactured in an FDA Registered facility, does that mean the mask is FDA Approved?

      A: Our masks are produced in factories that hold active FDA Certificate of Registration. The FDA Registration allows US buyers to cross check our validation on FDA public database. However, the KN95 is not an FDA Approved Class II Medical Device such as the NIOSH-approved N95 US version. The CDC lists the KN95 as a suitable alternative to provide protection during the COVID-19 response when supplies of N95 are not available.

      Q: Does the mask come in different sizes?

      A: No, only one size is offered in the KN95 mask. The KN95 is a flexible protective alternative to the form molded N95 equivalent. The pliable nature of the material and adjustable nose clip allows for universal fit.

Saturday night fever

Carmel Loughlin, practice manager at Three Spires Surgery, on why the last few months in her practice have reminded her of a couple of Bee Gee’s classics

Saturday Night Fever runs through my head every time I take vaccines out of the fridge for our weekly clinics. Like the song goes, ‘staying alive’ now relies heavily on what those little vials contain. It has also become my personal theme music as I delve again into the reserves of my resilience, battling against lack of vaccine supplies, patient anxiety and a pandemic that, until recently, felt never-ending.

We are snowed under with emails giving us more and more data, but information is scant. Why are not we guaranteed an amount of vaccine so we can plan ahead? Will we have vaccines to deliver second doses? Who is responsible for vaccinating different groups? How do we deal with vaccines for elderly patients who are living away from their normal residences? The question list is endless, and so is the workload.

I’ve been a practice manager for 20 years and chair the region’s Practice Manager’s Association; it has been going for many years and we have relied on each other more than ever this year. We normally do four educational meetings a year and have a social event. Sadly, all of that is undoable this year but our WhatsApp group gets daily attention due to the deluge of emails and the lack of clarity. Now more than ever I need my colleagues who face the challenges I do every day, where I dig for answers and clarity in the fog of emails and information.

I feel reassured when I look at what we have achieved this past year. We have had to completely re-design our services in response to COVID and are now, again, stepping up to the challenge of vaccinating thousands of patients – all of this while taking care of patients and managing our teams.

I approached a local trainer recently to ask her if she could do a session on leadership for the whole primary care team. I explained that, as the team leader, I am under so much pressure I needed my team to have the confidence to step up and be leaders alongside me. I needed people to take the initiative, and offer solutions, instead of bringing me more problems, as my resilience is running low a year into this pandemic. Never has practice management been more important, and we are running on vapour.

She is now busily designing a training session around this theme of ‘everyone is leader’. The cliché is true – I need my staff to step outside their ‘comfort zones’ and to help me lead our practice through this very difficult time. Giving people the confidence and authority to present solutions seems obvious but it was only when I spoke to the trainer, and told her what I needed, that the solution became clear. I know that this goes against the grain of a top-down leadership model but, by empowering staff and encouraging ideas, I felt that this would help me immensely. I haven’t delegated responsibility, but I feel that experienced staff have the skills and ability to problem-solve – and maybe by giving them the confidence to take the lead, they may do so, reducing the burden on managers.

I was also really encouraged by the move to forming a professional institution for practice managers, which has been backed by the BMA. We work alongside medical professionals every day; we run their businesses and manage their staff. Professional recognition has been a long time wish, and I only hope that this is successful. We are a skilled bunch and are totally professional in the work we do.

We are the workhorses of the NHS – particularly in this pandemic. We have met every challenge this year has presented; surely, we deserve professional recognition for the job we have done?

As Tess and Claudia advise – ‘keep dancing’. We need to maintain our resilience through the next few months, Staying Alive through every vaccination we deliver. I also hope that professional recognition means all of us are More than a Woman (or man!)

Please excuse the ramblings of a huge John Travolta fan!

US Water Managers Warn of Dismal Year Along the Rio Grande

It has been 30 years or so since residents in New Mexico’s largest city last saw their stretch of the Rio Grande go dry. There’s a possibility it could happen again this summer. Federal water managers released their annual operating plan for the Rio Grande on Thursday, and it doesn’t look good. Flows have been meager so far this year because of below-average snowpack in the mountains along the Colorado-New Mexico border that feed the river. Spring precipitation has done little to fill the void. Reservoirs are at a fraction of their capacity and continue to shrink. There is no opportunity to replenish them because the provisions of a water-sharing agreement with Texas prevent New Mexico from storing water upstream. That means the drought-stricken state has no extra water in the bank to fall back on, as it has had in previous years. Matters are further complicated because of extremely low soil moisture levels. That, along with warm temperatures, means much of the melting snow will be absorbed or evaporate before it reaches the river. The Rio Grande flows just south of Bernalillo, N.M., April 13, 2021.”Just low dismal numbers all around,” Ed Kandl, a hydrologist with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, said during a virtual meeting that included representatives from municipalities, tribal governments, irrigation districts, state agencies and a rafting company.  The Rio Grande is one of North America’s longest rivers and a major water source for millions of people and thousands of square miles of farmland in New Mexico, Texas and Mexico. The Bureau of Reclamation warned Thursday that a stellar monsoon season would be the only saving grace, but the odds of that happening are slim.  The Pecos River, which delivers water to parts of eastern New Mexico and West Texas, is in a similar situation, and federal officials recently issued a report indicating that releases on the Colorado River — which feeds several Western states — will continue to be limited because of the lack of water flowing into Lake Powell. So aside from residents in Albuquerque seeing sandbars take over the Rio Grande, farmers in central and southern New Mexico will have a shorter growing season with less water for crops.  It also means less water for the endangered Rio Grande silvery minnow. Plans already are being made for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to rescue fish from drying portions of the river. The rescue missions have become a regular practice in recent years. Near the small agricultural community of San Acacia, officials predicted that river drying would start in June and likely last through November, barring any relief from summer rains.  Last year was also tough, but officials said 2021 will likely mark one of the worst since the 1950s. They said the state’s largest reservoir — Elephant Butte in southern New Mexico — could drop to just 3% of capacity. Carolyn Donnelly, the bureau’s water operations supervisor for the area, said contractors will be monitoring the river for drying as far north as Albuquerque, and managers will try to stretch what little water they have as far as it can go.

Info zu Bobbie Sue (Remastered)

Bobbie Sue is the seventh album by The Oak Ridge Boys. It was released on February 10, 1982. Its title song was a #1 country chart hit (on April 3, 1982) and a #12 hit on the Hot 100 singles chart.

The album also featured cover versions of two songs: "So Fine", a song originally by The Fiestas; and "Up on Cripple Creek", originally by The Band.

The Oak Ridge Boys have achieved a decorated career, winning five GRAMMY® Awards, and multiple CMA, ACM and Dove Awards for their cross-over brand of pop, country and gospel music that spans multiple generations. Made up of members Duane Allen, Joe Bonsall, William Lee Golden and Richard Sterban, The Oak Ridge Boys are members of the Grand Ole Opry and achieved arguably country music’s highest honor in October 2015 when they were inducted into the Country Music Hall Of Fame.

The Oak Ridge Boys
Theirs is one of the most distinctive and recognizable sounds in the music industry. The four-part harmonies and upbeat songs of The Oak Ridge Boys have spawned dozens of Country hits and a Number One Pop smash, earned them Grammy, Dove, CMA, and ACM awards and garnered a host of other industry and fan accolades. Every time they step before an audience, the Oaks bring four decades of charted singles, and 50 years of tradition, to a stage show widely acknowledged as among the most exciting anywhere. And each remains as enthusiastic about the process as they have ever been.

“When I go on stage, I get the same feeling I had the first time I sang with The Oak Ridge Boys,” says lead singer Duane Allen. “This is the only job I’ve ever wanted to have.”

“Like everyone else in the group,” adds bass singer extraordinaire, Richard Sterban, “I was a fan of the Oaks before I became a member. I’m still a fan of the group today. Being in The Oak Ridge Boys is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.”

The two, along with tenor Joe Bonsall and baritone William Lee Golden, comprise one of Country’s truly legendary acts. Their string of hits includes the Country-Pop chart-topper Elvira, as well as Bobbie Sue, Dream On, Thank God For Kids, American Made, I Guess It Never Hurts To Hurt Sometimes, Fancy Free, Gonna Take A Lot Of River and many others. In 2009, they covered a White Stripes song, receiving accolades from Rock reviewers. In 2011, they rerecorded a thirtieth anniversary version of Elvira for a Cracker Barrel Old Country Store project.

The group has scored 12 gold, three platinum, and one double platinum album—plus one double platinum single—and had more than a dozen national Number One singles and over 30 Top Ten hits. ...

Senate candidates walk Trump tightrope as he returns to Arizona

  Senate candidates walk Trump tightrope as he returns to Arizona Former President Donald Trump will return Saturday to Arizona, where Republicans are looking to rebound after losing both of the state’s Senate seats in the past two elections. Unlike candidates in other states with contested Senate GOP primaries, the top four Republicans vying to take on Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly next year are embracing Trump’s […] The post Senate candidates walk Trump tightrope as he returns to Arizona appeared first on Roll Call.

Former President Donald Trump’s political committees raised $82 million during the first half of 2021 and have $102 million in the bank, according to federal filings to be made public Saturday evening.

The figures, shared first with POLITICO, underscore the profound reach of Trump’s fundraising power. While the former president is out of office and has been deplatformed on social media sites, he maintains a massive online donor network that he could lean on should he wage a 2024 comeback bid.

The scenario is virtually unprecedented: Never in history has a former president banked nine figures' worth of donations to power a political operation. Over the first six months of the year, Trump’s political groups whipped up supporters with baseless claims of election fraud to pull in more cash than the Republican Party’s House and Senate campaign arms. The Trump committees raised nearly as much as the Republican National Committee.

The former president’s fundraising was spread across three committees: Save America, a leadership PAC he launched shortly after losing the 2020 election; Make America Great Again PAC, his old campaign account which was converted into a PAC this year; and a joint fundraising outfit that sends its funds to the other two groups.

  Trade groups wrestle with supporting GOP lawmakers who embrace Trump's election lie For dentists, the rupture over Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona played out in a series of spirited public letters, culminating in a decision to suspend donations.Gosar, of Arizona, is a dentist by trade. He also wholeheartedly embraced former President Donald Trump's lie that the election was stolen from him and led efforts to overturn last fall's vote.

Leadership PACs like Save America have a $5,000 donation limit per donor, per year, but there are few restrictions on how those groups can spend their money. Trump has spent little from the fund so far this year, but he can use it to pay for travel, events, advisers, ad campaigns, and supporting candidates and other political activities.

There is one notable restriction: The leadership PAC funds cannot be used to finance a presidential campaign.

Earlier this year, Trump also gave his blessing to a newly formed super PAC, Make America Great Again Action, which is allowed to raise and spend unlimited amounts of money. The organization, which is helmed by former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, has already invested heavily to bolster Trump-endorsed candidates in a pair of special elections. The super PAC raised just over $5 million from its founding in early March through the end of June, according to a disclosure filed Saturday evening.

Trump takes two punches from GOP

  Trump takes two punches from GOP It's been a tough week for former President Trump. Trump's preferred candidate in a special House election in Texas lost on Tuesday to another Republican who was likely boosted by some protest votes against the former president. And on Wednesday, 17 Senate Republicans voted to advance a bipartisan infrastructure deal that Trump spent weeks railing against. While Trump remains a towering figure in the GOP, the back-to-back blows have led some to question whether his influence may have started to wane since he left office. "Trump has not had a big win in quite a while," Alex Conant, a Republican strategist, said.

Trump briefly slowed his fundraising efforts following the Jan. 6 Capitol riot but resumed it this spring. Much of what Trump has raised is expected to be used ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, in which the former president is expected to play an active role, according to a person familiar with the matter.

“On behalf of the millions of men and women who share my outrage and want me to continue to fight for the truth, I am grateful for your support," Trump said in a statement.

Trump has been forceful in urging his supporters to route their cash through Save America, even at the expense of the Republican Party’s campaign organizations. During an appearance before the Conservative Political Action Conference earlier this year, Trump said that that the “only” way to give to Trump-aligned candidates was through Save America. In the weeks after, Trump attorneys sent cease-and-desist letters to the party’s committees requesting that they stop using his name in fundraising appeals, which the party ignored.

Trump’s political operation has been sending out a daily battery of fundraising text messages to supporters, many of them reiterating his unfounded claims that the election was stolen. Trump has spent months lavishing praise on election audits taking place in states like Arizona, though a person familiar with Trump’s campaign finances said that none of his groups have donated money to fund those efforts out of a desire not to taint their independence.

Cuomo trashed Trump for years, but critics, including Democrats, say they’re cut from the same cloth .
What has long been the resume of Donald Trump is now the curriculum vitae of Andrew Cuomo. Pot, meet kettle. Shoe, say hello to the other foot.

How to Complete a Successful Research Paper on Microeconomics

How to Complete a Successful Research Paper on Microeconomics

It is no surprise that every student is required to study the courses of micro and macroeconomics due to the study program. Even though the words denoting these subjects may sound familiar for everyone, even for those, who are not really into the topic, these are two absolutely different branches of science.

Free «Staffing Unit 7 Applications Part 1» Essay

Staffing Unit 7 Applications Part 1

1. It seems to me quite difficult to choose an employee, as there are several assessments that can be used. However, I consider some of them more important than others. I think that a drug test is important because it can show the state of the person’s psychical health. I would not select the person who has positive drug test results. However, it is not the main factor. The person may have a negative drug test but be a bad worker.

The second important factor is experience. A person with great experience is likely to work better than a less experienced one. In addition, a company does not need to teach an experienced worker that much. Cognitive ability is also very important. A person should always learn something new if he/she wants to work better. The more person knows, the fewer mistakes he/she makes during the work. Integrity test is of great significance as well. Any worker should be honest. If the worker is dishonest, a company many suffer losses or lose its reputation. However, some integrity tests are not perfect and may cause mistakes as a result. So it is important to develop an effective integrity test. I would also weigh a background test. I would hesitate about employing the person who was once arrested or imprisoned. Such person is more likely to be dishonest and break the rules of the company. I would also not hire the worker who was often dismissed on his/her fault.

A brief interview is important. However, it may not show all the skills and drawbacks of the candidate. While being interviewed, a person may simply lose his/her spirits and not answer all the questions at the highest level he/she is able. It can happen that a person is asked some questions he/she does not know well, but is not asked about the things he/she really knows.

2. I would select candidates stepwise, because it can be difficult to make a choice at once. In the beginning, I would like to say what candidates I would not select at all. I would not select Marianne. She was arrested in the past, so she may be a dishonest worker. In addition, she has a poor interview rating. I would also not select Galina, because she does not have a college degree and has a low rating of cognitive ability test. I would not select Radhu either, because his experience is lower than the minimum requirement.

It is quite difficult to select three persons of the nine remaining. In order to do it, I can count their overall rating. To make it easier, it is better to consider only numeral assessments. They include company experience, performance rating, cognitive ability test, integrity test, and interview rating. I am going to sum up the results of applicants’ tests. Merv has 32 points, Helmut has 23 points, Siobhan has 42 points, Raul has 27 points, Frank has 28 points, Osvaldo has 36 points, Byron has 37 points, and Aletha has 33 points.

Among all eight applicants, I would like to select five. At last, among them I would select three to pass the training program. Therefore, I would select Merv, Siobhan, Osvaldo, Byron, and Aletha, because their scores are the highest. To choose three out of them, I would carefully analyze their results. During the final selection, I would consider company experience, performance rating, and integrity test as the most important criteria. They can be the most helpful in work. The results of those tests are as follows: Merv has 21 points, Siobhan has 27 points, Osvaldo has 23 points, Byron has 28 points, and Aletha has 21 points. I would select Siobhan, Osvaldo, and Byron, as their ratings are the highest.

3. I consider assessment program of Come As You Are not bad. Different tests are used in it, and they can help appreciate applicants from different points of view. These tests help study people’s experience, education, background, cognitive ability, performance, and other important things for job.

However, I think that this assessment program may be improved. The results of the test are usually measured in points. Nevertheless, the importance of each test is not officially stated. As a result, when several candidates have the same sum of points, it can be difficult to decide whom to select. Thus, I would recommend Come As You Are to determine the importance of each test, for example, in percent.

Benefit from Our Service: Save 25% Along with the first order offer - 15% discount, you save extra 10% since we provide 300 words/page instead of 275 words/page

The other issue is that the program is half-day long. I think it is too short because it may be difficult to see all the abilities and drawbacks of the person during this period. A person may become tired or worried during the program and not to represent his/her abilities properly. I would recommend Come As You Are to make their program longer and their tests more extensive. For example, it can make the program one or two days long and include more tests in it.

To make the tests more effective and representative, it would be good to add some more criteria devoted to applicants’ job. For instance, if the applicants are sellers, managers, or other workers who deal with clients often, the ethical, communicative, and other test, can be provided. The other examples of tests can include:

  • A typing test for secretarial and clerical jobs.
  • A spelling test for a job where spelling is important, i.e., secretarial, proof reading.
  • A visual accuracy test is used where paying attention to detail is necessary. (Pickers and packers are often asked to pass this type of test) (Candidate Testing).

The road to fame is rough, as many of your favorite rock stars will tell you. Some of the pre-fame jobs they took on were completely unexpected. Here's what a few of them did before they hit it big.

10 Weirdest Pre-Fame Jobs Of Famous Rock Stars

1. Sir Mick Jagger: Psychiatric Hospital Porter

The Rolling Stones star was a student at the London School of Economics before he started to cut records. While pursuing his degree, he served as a porter at Bexley Mental Hospital. The menial job paid the celebrity about four pounds ten shillings a week.

2. Gene Simmons: Typist

You'll know Gene Simmons or The Demon as the fast-fingered bass guitarist of Kiss. But do you know why he's such a guitar whiz? Gene was a typist and a valuable assistant to an editor at Vogue Magazine. The music world's lucky that the legend put his typewriter aside to start Kiss with Fred Stanley.

3. Kurt Cobain: Janitor

You wouldn't expect Kurt Cobain to have taken on a janitor's position. According to bassist Krist Novoselic, he wouldn't take out the trash. But he cleared toilets to fund his first demo.

4. Eddie Vedder: La Valencia Hotel Security Guard

Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder worked many jobs before becoming a music industry icon. He served as a security guard at San Diego's La Valencia Hotel. Fortune smiled on him when former Red Hot Chili Peppers member Jack Irons introduced him to Pearl Jam, then looking for a front man.

5. Joe Strummer: Gravedigger

101ers star Joe Strummer had a job that many people would think of as scary. Besides being the frontman of the Vultures, he was also a gravedigger at the St Wooloos Cemetery in Newport. After the Vultures split, he moved back to London to form the 101ers.

6. David Bowie: Delivery Boy for a Butcher

David Bowie wanted badly to become a saxophone player for his idol, Little Richard. He took on a job as a butcher's delivery boy so that he could buy his first instrument. The music industry's lucky that he did.

7. Patti Smith: Worker in a Toy Factory

Rock stars have it rough like everyone else. Punk Rocker Patti Smith was a toy factory worker before making waves in the music industry. The job seemed ordinary but was a difficult one for her. According to her, the women in the factory tortured her almost every day.

8. Freddie Mercury: Trader

Queen star Freddie Mercury developed his business skills at the market. He and fellow band member Roger Taylor set up roadside stalls at the Kensington Market before becoming big names. Freddie, a prolific artist, sold his paintings and continued to do so after Queen released its first album in 1973.

9. Ron Scott: Postman

The AC/DC star was a postman in Fremantle, Western Australia during his teen years. Mail carriers now deliver mail to Bon Scott Crescent in Moncrieff, a street named in his honor.

10. Lemmy: Jimmy Hendrix's Assistant

The Motorhead celebrity was an assistant to Jimmy Hendrix on the road. He used the money to pay the rent for the flat he shared with band manager Neville Chesters and fellow member Noel Redding. He earned ten pounds a week.

11. Johnathan Davis: Embalmer

After graduating from San Francisco's School of Mortuary Science, Korn frontman Johnathan Davis became a professional embalmer. He shared with That Guardian in 2015 that lifting dead bodies out of cars was a one-of-a-kind experience.

12. Chris Cornell: Fish Handler

Before becoming famous as the lead vocalist of Soundgarden, the late grunge rock pioneer Chris Cornell was a seafood wholesaler. He told the Seattle Post that his job was to clear fish slime. The most rewarding part of his work was meeting many sous chefs.

Final Thoughts ...

Making it big requires many sacrifices, as many of these stars discovered. And as the rock stars above have shown, big things definitely come from humble beginnings.
