Nick-Priyanka’s latest pic is all things love

Nick Jonas’ latest picture with ladylove Priyanka Chopra is all things love

Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas have been hitting the headlines ever since their first appearance at the Met Gala last year. And now, with their official engagement ceremony, they have become one of the most adorable couples we have in the entertainment industry.

Nick recently took to his Instagram handle to share a monochrome picture of himself with Priyanka Chopra. Looks like the young chap just can’t let go off his ladylove. Holding hands, the duo is all smiles for the camera.

Although the two denied their reports of their relationship for a long time, they made an official announcement about the same after their roka ceremony in attendance of their respective families. Ever since, the couple has been inseparable.

Newly engaged couple Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas were spotted enjoying some quality time together at the U.S. Open. The star-couple turned this casual outing into a double date of sorts, as they were joined by Nick’s elder brother Joe and his fiancé Sophie Turner. When all eyes weren’t on the nail-biting match which saw Serena Williams come out victorious, they had to be on the couple, who didn’t seem to shy away from some PDA.

Apart from cuddling up together and planting pecks on the other’s cheek, Priyanka and Nick were seen smiling, laughing and taking a few photos while PeeCee’s mother, Madhu Chopra smiled at the kids and their shenanigans.

Nick and Priyanka got engaged on August 18 at the actress’ residence in Mumbai. Meanwhile, rumours of a big fat Indian wedding being on the cards has been doing the rounds. Although there has been no official confirmation, reports claim that the couple will tie the knot later this year.

Soon after their engagement on August 18, Priyanka Chopra took Nick Jonas and his family to an orphanage named St. Catherine’s home for Orphans at a suburban area in Mumbai. She had earlier shared a video, where Nick is singing for the children and she captioned it saying, “12 years of knowing these girls and in minutes they get all love-struck by the #lovebug… thank you @nickjonas and our families. Thank you to the sisters and all the girls at St. Catherine’s orphanage for opening your hearts to us again. I’ll see you next time”

Now, a previously unknown picture from the visit has surfaced and it will completely steal your heart. In the photo, Priyanka is seen holding a girl in her arms while posing with Nick and other kids from the orphanage.

Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas have been all over the news for the past few weeks ever since they got engaged in a small ceremony in Mumbai. Now, the engaged couple were spotted in Mexico and it looks like the two are enjoying a little vacation before heading back to work. In a few pictures that have surfaced on social media, both the celebs can be seen taking a stroll through the Mexican city of Cabo San Lucas in the South American nation. While PeeCee looked gorgeous in a white and blue dress, Nick rocked a sand coloured shirt and blue jeans. Overall, the couple certainly looks happy and in love.

After her dreamy engagement with Nick Jonas in India with family and friends, Priyanka Chopra has flown back to California where she reunited with her fiancé. The two were recently spotted together slaying it in style.

Dressed in a black top with a plunging neckline and high waist jeans, Priyanka looked like an absolute chic. Her cool shades and open tresses complimented her overall look. Nick, on the other hand, sported his casual look in a blue shirt and brown pants.

The two were all over the Indian media when they officially announced their engagement. While the two got engaged in a traditional roka ceremony, they hosted a lavish party for their friends later.

On the work front, the actress will next be seen in Shonali Bose’s ‘The Sky Is Pink’ which also reportedly features Farhan Akhtar and Zaira Wasim.

A small kitchen doesn't have to feel small.

When I first visited this apartment with the new owner I immediately knew that it had to open up. It had great bones and high ceilings. She had just bought it and we had some great conversations for where we saw this going. I wanted to take down the walls and create a large space into the dining room. Anything would be an upgrade from the dated appliances, kitchen flooring and DR wallpaper. We had a good project ahead of us…

I was very happy with the end result and so was she.  The kitchen is small but doesn’t feel small. The extra deep countertop allows for a great workspace while food is being prepared and also serves as a buffet counter when entertaining. The cabinet that looks built in at the end is the fridge so the space is not choppy. There are under counter storage is on both sides and there was still room for a small wine fridge. There are lots of ways to have a wonderful kitchen when space is tight!

250th Blog Post: Beyond the Comfort Zone

250th Blog PostBy Linda Fisher Thornton

In the 200th Leading in Context Blog Post, I wrote about Learning at the Speed of Life. To celebrate the 250th post, I want to reflect on what it’s been like to work every day in the stretch beyond the comfort zone.

In the past year, I finished writing my first book 7 Lenses, editing and publishing it in paperback and three different digital formats (Kindle, iTunes and Nook). Many times during that period, I felt like I had ended up in the middle of nowhere without a map.

Embracing the Stretch

Although I knew where I wanted to end up, I had no idea how to get there. Have you felt that way as you took on new challenges? Here are some of the questions I wrestled with:

  • How do you know when a book is good enough and ready to be edited?
  • How do you choose a good book title?
  • What cover design will best catch people’s attention and convey the book’s message?
  • Which is the more responsible paper choice, recycled or sustainable forestry initiative?
  • How do you spread the word in responsible ways so people who can benefit from the book will find out about it?

I have “learned through” finding answers to hundreds of questions like these in the past year. To stay motivated, I posted this saying on the bulletin board beside my desk:

“Life Begins At The End Of Your Comfort Zone”

Neale Donald Walsch

It reminded me that growth is good… Wouldn’t it be easy if growth happened without the need to stretch outside of our comfort zones? These song lyrics describe the simpler way we yearn for:

“Wake me up when it’s all over. When I’m older and I’m wiser.”

Song Lyrics, “Wake Me Up” by Avicii

If only it were that easy.

The Good Stuff Doesn’t Happen on Autopilot

When we live and work on autopilot, we tend to “stick to the known,” repeating what we did last year that worked and making incremental progress.  This dooms us to only achieving what we have already imagined and set into motion. There’s so much more that we’re missing. While we’re waiting to be “older and wiser”, we miss big opportunities to learn right now.

Growth doesn’t happen by itself. It takes an effort.

Because growth can be uncomfortable, it is often tempting to stick to the known path, the usual way, the “regular things” we do. But when we do that, we get into a routine and may end up going through the day on autopilot.

Instead of being easy and comfortable, real growth requires stretching outside of our comfort zones, believing we can grow and accomplish more, and continually working to get better.

Pushing the Boundaries

Once we stretch into new capabilities, we have to keep practicing them until they become comfortable. In the process, we are expanding our comfort zone to make room for these new abilities.

When We Are Learning and Growing, Our Comfort Zone is Expanding

Instead of avoiding the stretch and getting through the day on pre-programmed autopilot, we have expanded our comfort zones to include new abilities and roles, and new possibilities.

As you read about my journey, reflect on how stretching outside of your comfort zone might be transformational for you.

What has taken me outside of my comfort zone in the past year?

  • Finishing, editing and publishing an ethical leadership book (that recently won Bronze in the Axiom Business Book Awards!).
  • Author book signings.
  • Doing virtual booktalks, guest lectures, videos and keynotes based on 7 Lenses.
  • Keeping up with a growing and highly engaged global audience on social media.

This growth process has happened in waves, sometimes extremely difficult and other times exhilarating. That’s how growth is, like riding a roller coaster in the dark and not seeing the road ahead clearly. It’s exciting and unpredictable. I am grateful that pushing the boundaries of my comfort zone was easier with the help of a strategy coach who urged me on and asked me to continually reach higher.

When we embrace the roller coaster ride of growth, as unpredictable as it may be, we tap into our human potential and we grow into our better selves. We make a positive difference in our lives and the lives of others.

What meaningful work have you been wanting to do? Go ahead – step outside the zone and enjoy the ride. That’s where your best work is waiting to be done.

• Question: My question is related to reward. I find myself hesitating to give rewards at times as I don’t want to give too many and devalue them. Is there any evidence that this is can be the case?

    Asked by jamesallen1705 to Yana, Victoria, Richard, Mike, Lucía, Iroise, Gaia on 28 Feb 2018.

      Mike Hobbiss answered on 28 Feb 2018:

      Hi. Yes this is certainly a feature of rewards, that they become less rewarding if given too often. One way around this might be to make the reward uncertain, in the sense that there is an element of luck or randomness about getting a reward. There seem to be stronger brain responses to uncertain rewards than predictable ones, and there are projects going on now to try to harness this for educational purposes. e.g. see http://www.bristol.ac.uk/education/people/academicStaff/edpahj/publications/mbe_1108.pdf

• Question: I had a conversation with a teacher friend today, and she said that among her friends more than 50% have a child that's autistic. That differs greatly from my experience, as I know only 1 person with an autistic child. Are there regional differences in the rates, and where can these kind of statistics be accessed? Have there been any advances in understanding (even possible) causes of autism?

    Asked by Abena to modkathryn on 24 Apr 2018.

      Kathryn Bates answered on 24 Apr 2018:

      Hi there, these are both really interesting questions!
      The National Autistic Society UK website is a great resource for all things autism. See link here: http://www.autism.org.uk/about/what-is/myths-facts-stats.aspx
      On their facts and history page they state that in the UK around 700,000 are currently diagnosed with autism which about 1 in 100.
      In terms of prevalence, studies tend to be carried out per region, e.g. Cambridgeshire, which is usually because a national study would be very costly. And even in the large scale studies, these samples quite often don’t include those living in residential care or those with learning disabilities too severe to allow them to participate (see here for more info: http://www.autism.org.uk/get-involved/media-centre/news/2016-09-29-prevalence-figures.aspx)
      However, these prevalence studies can still be very useful even though their cohorts may seem restricted. The findings can be compared to other regional studies and can be used to estimate overall prevalence – after all, its impossible to get everyone in the country to participate in any given study!
      As far as I can see, comparisons between prevalence studies carried out in different areas show there are minimal regional differences (see here for more info: https://s3.amazonaws.com/academia.edu.documents/42643623/500.full.pdf?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAIWOWYYGZ2Y53UL3A&Expires=1524490729&Signature=wXZ%2Bl9Q8NYyfNIg75A%2BLio3J2zk%3D&response-content-disposition=inline%3B%20filename%3DPrevalence_of_autism-spectrum_conditions.pdf)
      Others have found some variation in regional rates but have found that this is stable over time (see more information here:
      This study is quite interesting because in the discussion section they consider the differences in rates in relation to events happening at the time, such as the whole MMR vaccine/autism scandal that has since been proved to be completely false (see here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3136032/).

      As is the case in most developmental disorders (apart from genetic disorders such as Downs syndrome), there is no single cause of autism and this is a very complex question. Research trying to identify the causes of these disorders tends to start by identifying risk factors, for example what are the risk factors that are associated with a diagnosis of autism? Some research has identified genetic risk factors; however this tends to include multiple genes (there is no single gene for autism) (see reference here: https://www.nature.com/articles/nrn.2016.184.pdf?origin=ppub )

      There may also be environmental triggers, for example as birth complications involving trauma and/or advanced parental age have been associated with increased risk (see reference here: https://molecularautism.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13229-017-0121-4 ) “Associated” is the keyword here because it cannot be concluded any one of these factors is the single cause, and “risk” is also important because some individuals may experience these complications but will not develop the disorder. However, what this does tell us is that being exposed to an identified risk factor is associated with higher likelihood of developing this disorder.

      Identifying both genetic and environmental risk factors is really useful in this research as it can inform diagnosis and may allow for intervening early. There is currently a large-scale study called the British Autism Study of Infant Siblings being conducted looking at identifying early signs of autism in infants which can reveal more about when and how to intervene. Here is the link to the website:

      I hope this is useful and somewhat answers your questions! – if any of the links don’t work please let me know and I’d be happy to send a pdf. Feel free to ask any follow up questions to anything I’ve outlined.

Breaking News

BACKGROUND REPORT - March 23, 2003: Level of Fighting Increases - 2003-03-28

This is a VOA Special English Background Report.

Military action in Iraq has reached a new level. The military commanders leading "Operation Iraqi Freedom" are now using intense bombing and missile attacks on Iraqi targets. VOA reporter Alex Belida says the military has decided to use a heavy bombing campaign. The campaign is being called “shock and awe.” The decision to use the “shock and awe” campaign was made after efforts failed to force the Iraqi leadership to surrender.

United States Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld says Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein’s government is beginning to lose its hold on power. The American Defense Department hopes that intense air strikes will cause the government to surrender. The American military is using radio broadcasts, communications with Iraqi commanders and printed materials dropped from airplanes. Reports say hundreds of Iraqi soldiers have surrendered.

Defense Secretary Rumsfeld says he thinks that more Iraqis will surrender as military activity increases. However, one high-level Defense Department official says there has been some resistance. The official said not all Iraqis may welcome American and British troops.

For the first time, United States Army General Tommy Franks spoke to reporters Saturday about the conflict in Iraq. General Franks heads the United States Central Command. He planned the strikes against Iraq with Mister Rumsfeld.

General Franks said war in Iraq “will be unlike any other in history.” He said such high-technology weapons have never been combined with such a large armed force. General Franks said the military action is designed to remove President Saddam Hussein from power. Another goal, he said, was to control Iraqi weapons of great destruction. General Franks said he was sure these weapons exist in Iraq. However, he said he did not know how long it would take to identify and control the weapons.

General Franks is fifty-seven-years old. He has been in the Army since he was twenty years old. He served in Vietnam and received three medals. In nineteen-seventy-one, he finished studies in business at the University of Texas. He continued serving in the army, where he commanded troops in Germany in the nineteen-eighties. He took part in the Gulf War. Later in the nineteen-nineties, he commanded troops in South Korea.

General Franks became commander-in-chief of the United States Central Command in June of two-thousand. His friends include King Abdullah of Jordan and the presidents of Egypt and Pakistan. Tommy Franks was born in nineteen-forty-five in Wynnewood, Oklahoma. He grew up in Midland, Texas.

Supper club to bring new flare

Xavier Smith • Mar 2, 2018 at 12:53 PM

Lebanon business owner Jon Kodi will look to rejuvenate the appeal to supper clubs with his new venue, J.K.’s Supper Club, which will be on Legends Drive.

“From the 1930s to about the 1960s, supper clubs were popular places where a lot of stars, such as Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra, would pop up for nothing and play while people were eating,” Kodi said. “They were great entertainers, and it was just a great environment.”

J.K.’s Supper Club will be adjacent to Demos’ Restaurant and look to bring the same vibe from supper clubs’ heydays with new, popular music in country, rock, jazz and blues. The venue will feature rotating musicians and house bands, as well as comedians and other entertainers.

Kodi said the venue would be “more upscale,” with guests abiding by a dress code. The venue’s feature dishes will be steak, sushi and seafood, with plans for renowned sushi chef Danny Lee to join the team, according to Kodi.

“This town needs it,” said Kodi, who said he believes the venue could pull guests from Nashville, Mt. Juliet, Gallatin and other surrounding areas.

“You won’t have to fight traffic like downtown Nashville and worry about parking. With the new roadway being built and businesses on Legends Drive, I think everyone could benefit, and it would be a great thing,” Kodi said.

Other aspects of the two-story venue include indoor and outdoor dining, outdoor water features, private-party space and a mezzanine with a direct view to a sound stage. The venue, which will accommodate 450 people, will also feature open spaces to view food preparations.

“I feel like being able to see people prepare your food is entertainment in its own form, as well,” Kodi said.

Kodi said the venue would cater to those who want to add visual and sonic entertainment to their dinner.

“The problem with a lot of Nashville venues is they’re taking old, existing warehouse buildings and converting them into music venues, but don’t do anything for acoustics,” Kodi said. “This building will be designed acoustically to provide a nice, rich sound.”

Kodi said the venue would feature photographs of music greats, courtesy of his mother, who was a photographer for the Palm Springs Life magazine.

“People can walk around and point at the pictures and say, ‘Oh. I remember so and so,’” he said.

Kodi said he believes the venue has the ability to pull some entertainment from Music City and shine a spotlight on artists and features east of Nashville.

“I’m very excited to do it. There are a lot of architectural aspects that I think people will enjoy. I like stepping out on the limb a little bit, and I don’t mind doing that,” he said.

Kodi is the creator of the award-winning Kodi Klip, which replaces welding and tie wire methods for securing rebar.

The Lebanon Planning Commission unanimously approved a site plan for the project Tuesday.

How to Leave Assets to Adult Children

When considering how to leave assets to your adult children, first decide how much you want each one to receive. Most parents want to treat their children fairly, but this doesn’t necessarily mean they should receive equal shares of your estate. For example, you may want to give more to a child who is a teacher than to one who has a successful business. Or you may want to compensate a child who has taken care of you during an illness or your later years.

Some parents worry about leaving too much money to their children. They want their children to have enough to do whatever they wish, but not so much that they will be lazy and unproductive. Well, no one said you have to give everything to your children. You may prefer to leave more to your grandchildren and future generations through a trust, and/or make a generous charitable contribution.

Next, decide how you want your children to receive their inheritances. You have several options from which to choose.

Option 1: Give Some Now

If you can afford to give your children or grandchildren some of their inheritance now, you will experience the joy of seeing the results. You could help a child buy a house, start a business, be a stay-at-home parent to your grandchildren, or even see your grandchildren go to college—and know that it may not have happened without your help. This would also let you see how each child might handle a larger inheritance.

Option 2: Lump Sum

If your children are responsible adults, this may seem like a good choice—especially if they are older and you are concerned that they may not have many years left to enjoy the inheritance. However, once a beneficiary has possession of the assets, he or she could lose them to creditors, a lawsuit, or a divorce settlement. Even a current spouse can have access to assets that are placed in a joint account or if your child adds his/her spouse as a co-owner. If it bothers you that a son-or daughter-in law could end up with your assets, or that a creditor could seize them, or that a child might spend irresponsibly, a lump sum distribution may not be the right choice.

Option 3: Installments

Many parents like to give their children more than one opportunity to invest or use the inheritance wisely, which doesn’t always happen the first time around. Installments can be made at certain intervals (say, one-third upon your death, one-third five years later, and the final third five years after that) or at certain ages (say, age 25, age 30 and age 35). In either case, be sure to review your instructions from time to time and make changes as needed. For example, if you live a very long time, your children might not live long enough to receive the full inheritance—or, they may have passed the distribution ages and, by default, receive the entire inheritance in a lump sum.

Option 4: Keep Assets in a Trust

You can keep your assets in a trust and provide for your children, but not actually give the assets to them. Assets that remain in a trust are protected from a beneficiary’s creditors, lawsuits, irresponsible spending, and ex- and current spouses. If you have a special needs dependent, or if a child should become incapacitated, the trust can provide for this child without jeopardizing valuable government benefits. If you have a child who might need some incentive to earn a living, you can match the income he/she earns. (Be sure to allow for the possibility that this child might become unable to work or retires.) If you have a child who is financially secure, you can keep the assets in trust for your grandchildren and future generations, and still provide a safety net if this child’s situation changes and he/she needs financial help. This option gives you the most flexibility, control and protection over the assets you worked a lifetime to accumulate and build.

While there is no one right choice for how to leave assets to all adult children, given many individuals’ concerns over protecting inheritances from creditors (particularly ex son or daughters in law), many choose leaving their assets in trust for the benefit of their children and/or grandchildren. Regardless of your ultimate choice, this is an important decision that should be considered with input from your estate planning professional.

The Importance of Being Organized

Humans like to categorize and organize things. Our brains are wired to be really good at it. We experience a ton of information every day, and our brains process and organize a lot of it passively and instantaneously. At a basic level, there are categories of “don’t care about this right now” to “this is something I want to pay attention to.” This allows us to focus on the things we want or need to do without feeling overwhelmed by all the noise. For example, if we drive to work, we see thousands of objects but we automatically put some things into the “pay attention” category -- things like traffic signals, pedestrians, and other cars.

Perhaps as a natural extension of our desire and aptitude for organizing things, humans seem to like to rate and rank things within categories. For example, a cinephile might not just have a list of her top 10 movies of all time, she might use categorization to come up with numerous lists. “Here’s my top 5 cerebral Scandinavian tearjerkers!” One does wonder how much the internet and modern data collections have contributed to this inclination.

But hey, wait. How the heck does this relate to the Elder Scrolls: Legends? Actually, in a number of ways. Let’s walk through a few ways in which organization is a core part of the design of Elder Scrolls: Legends, and why that’s a good thing.

Organization allows for mechanical distribution, leading to asymmetric gameplay and player agency.

Distributing themes and mechanics across five attributes is perhaps the most critical form of organization in Legends. This method of categorizing cards coupled with the primary deck building rule spreads the game’s mechanics across the game so that no one deck can have access to all the mechanics. Thus, as a player, you have a really important decision to make in terms of which attributes to dip into when building a deck. What do you want to utilize and what can you live without?

Asymmetric collections also present fun ranking opportunities, and Legends is rich enough to present fun thought experiments even when you’re not playing. While your cinephile friend is listing her top 5 cerebral Scandinavian tearjerkers, you might be considering how you’d rank your top 5 Intelligence actions.

Organization helps players remember concepts and mechanics and leads to skillful play.

Once a game begins, the benefits of the mechanical organization mentioned above aren’t done. One of the first things you might do is look at your opponent’s attributes. Once you’ve played a fair number of Legends games, this visual cue can be quickly processed by your brain into some possible deck archetypes (another useful form of organization!) that your opponent might be playing, and you might even begin to form a plan to play well against those decks. Some players talk about “playing around” certain cards, meaning their decisions are sometimes driven based on the risk of the opponent having a particular card. This type of planning and reacting can begin immediately, with your mulligan decision!

Something to stress is here is that the card file itself must be organized well in order for players to feel these benefits. If designers throw mechanics around too liberally, these benefits can dissipate. Imagine if all attributes had some Charge creatures, or if all attributes had efficient support removal. While some amount of unpredictability is important for card games, that’s a world where games would feel too chaotic and unpredictable.

Organization of themes and mechanics can support lore and world-building, while also helping players remember concepts.

When Legends launched, the design team decided to allocate the ten playable Elder Scrolls races across the five attributes, each race to an attribute pair. For example, Nords were assigned to the Strength-Willpower pair, so each Nord was either Strength or Willpower (or in Tyr’s case, both). We knew this organization wouldn’t last forever, because we felt certain famous characters wouldn’t feel right in the initial pairing. But we knew that, as a new game, Legends was going to throw a lot of complexity at players, so we wanted to take advantage of organization to present some information in a clean and memorable way. As mentioned, humans are capable of processing a lot of information; but one of our jobs was to present game information so that players were spending less brainpower decoding information about the game, allowing them to focus on the more fun, strategic decisions.

Organization allows exceptions to create memorable cards and/or interesting flavor.

While organization creates standard rules to go by, designers are not always slavish to those rules. Breaking an organizational rule can be a powerful tool to call attention to something, especially as it relates to the story of a card. If all previous Orcs hadn’t been assigned to the Strength and Endurance attributes, Arcanaeum Librarian’s arrival in Clockwork City wouldn’t have been particularly interesting. The fact that he represents the first Orc card to veer outside of the normal Orc attributes is part of his charm. It also clearly is a call-out to Urag gro-Shub from Skyrim, who was  quite at home amidst a library full of books. Neither Strength nor Endurance felt right for a card representing that character.

Another example of breaking the rules for a purpose can be found in Heroes of Skyrim. Because this set was based on the home of the Nords, the designers chose to allow Nords to bust out of their standard attributes in a big way, as a nod to the diversity of the Nord people as experienced in TES V: Skyrim. So, Nords were purposefully placed into all five attributes.

Organization of card sets leads to mastery and delight.

This one is a bit harder to talk about concretely, but when Legends designers create card sets, some of their discussions relate to how much of a particular mechanic to include and how to spread those mechanics across cards. It’s almost like making a soup or a sauce, where simple building blocks are the base and fancier cards are spice. If a soup doesn’t have enough spice, it might taste bland and boring; the same goes for a card set. But too much spice can be a turn-off, as well. Finding the sweet spot and figuring out a way of organizing the set’s information across cards so that players experience mastery and delight while playing with the cards is a mix of art and science.

Spicy Skeevers!

Here are some examples of organizational decisions that we had to make when designing various Legends card sets:

  • How many Slay creatures should be in the Dark Brotherhood set, and what attributes should get Slay? What do the other attributes get?
  • Would naming a cycle of dual-attribute actions for Heroes of Skyrim help players remember the names of classes? We had observed a fair number of new players struggle to remember class names, so this naming convention was an attempt to introduce a mnemonic device.
  • How many neutral cards should a set have? In the case of Clockwork City, we cranked up the number to reflect the nature of the setting. This presented us with discussions about how to design neutral cards and mechanics in a synergistic way so that they wouldn’t appear in too many decks.

Thanks for reading along on our journey through how design thinks about organization and its impact on the Legends play experience. By the way, we’ve got another organizational lens in store for our next expansion. Stay tuned… we think you’ll be excited!

yodaka were a Japanese post-rock band consisting of Kashiwa Daisuke (Guitar/Programming), Nema Takeshi (Guitar/Synth), Takimoto Nozomu (Bass) and Yamamoto Hironobu (Drums).
This collection of five songs is the only material around (couldn't find a tracklisting or release info), and what it lacks in audio quality it makes up for quality.
Pretty cool stuff -- Daisuke's programming edge helps give it a unique feel for post-rock.
Def recommend looking into his latest piano-only release too.

Vakill - Armor of God

Not return--punishment

Yes! One of my most anticipated hip-hop releases in a spinnin' minute.
Chicago's Vakill returns after a five year inhale, and I know for one am satisfied with the release.
'Armor of God' might even shine through his previous 2006 volley 'Worst Fears Confirmed' that got me semi-stan-status in the first place. Only been able to repeat this once or twice but Vakill comes correct on every track, with easily some of the tightest beats offered from the Molemen and crew.

If you're down with this you're up for rough:

The single for "Black Tongue"; pretty sweet opening track, IMO.
For whatever reason it gave me Killing Joke vibes.

Great summer schedule developed at inter-club meeting

Enda reports good progress from Monday evening’s inter-club meeting at Tir na nOg. It certainly sets up a lovely series of summer events for the calendar.

Plans have been set in motion for our first inter club cross country and dressage league. Provisional dates have been circled in the calendar and host venues identified. If all goes according to plan the first leg will be on Sunday 5 July around Liz and Ryan’s coastal course outside Carrigart. Next up will be a run to Charlie and Mona’s course outside Killybegs on Sunday 23 August and the last leg takes place at Lenamore on Sunday 13 September, organised by Letterkenny and Inishowen Riding Clubs. The complete schedules with the finer detail around dressage tests, cost and entry dates will follow later.

The four clubs have also agreed to pull resources to purchase timing equipment which should ease the pressure on those who have been called upon in the past to provide the clock and sensors.

Finally the Audrey Jacob Team Challenge was heralded as a great success by all the clubs on the night so take a bow all those who helped organise the event.

pear & walnut spice cake

pear cake

Making use of ripe pears from our recent Farmhouse Delivery box, this lovely spice cake pairs perfectly with that first cup of coffee of the morning. The outside gets a bit crackly while the inside retains a moist crumb with pieces of sweet pear and crunchy walnuts.

Embarrassed to admit how long this cake last in our house between two people (only three days), but it was too good for breakfast, mid-day snack, or after dinner dessert.

Not sure if it was all in our head, but this cake seemed to get more delicious on the second and third day. However, I’m afraid I can’t attest to how it tasted on the fourth day as there were only a few crumbs left on the cake stand…

  • Yields: 12 servings

  • 4 cups fresh pears, peeled, cored and chopped into bite-sized chunks
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup oil *I used coconut, but you could also use vegetable or canola
  • 1 cup walnuts, chopped
  • 3 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cloves
  • Optional: 1/4 cup powdered sugar, for dusting the top before serving

  1. One hour before baking the cake, combine the fresh chopped pears and white sugar in a large mixing bowl. Set it aside for an hour to macerate and create a delicious syrup.
  2. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and spray a standard Bundt cake pan generously with non stick cooking spray.
  3. Into the large mixing bowl with the pear-sugar mixture, whisk in the eggs, oil and chopped walnuts.  Over the top of the same bowl, sift the dry ingredients  (flour to cloves) and then stir well until combined and pour the batter into the prepared Bundt cake pan. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  4. Allow the cake to cool for 10-15 minutes before carefully removing it from the Bundt cake pan onto a serving platter. Dust the top of the cooled cake with sifted powdered sugar, if desired, before serving.

If you've ever taken a museum tour, you know that they can be pretty dull. Nick Gray is out to change that. As the founder of Museum Hack, Nick and his team lead groups through New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art in what he describes as "highly interactive, subversive, fun, non-traditional museum tours." Guides take guests through the Met's lesser-known works, and the "strangest, wildest, sexiest stories hidden throughout the museum." We caught up with the dapper Mr. Gray to find out what apps, gadgets, tunes, and books keep him energized and inspired.

Location: New York City
Current gig: Making a business out of my love for great museums at Museum Hack
Current mobile devices: iPhone and iPad
Current computer: 13" Macbook Air
One word that best describes how you work: Reactive. I want to say something progressive, like "Standing," or something engaging, like "Alert." But as a reflection of time spent during office hours, honestly speaking, I'm most often replying to emails. I'm honored to be included in the How I Work series, but I'd like to first note that my routine and habits are a work in progress towards being more proactive.

What apps/software/tools can't you live without?

The Omega J8003 slow speed juicer, because it's so easy to clean. I like to start my mornings with a green juice for healthy energy before I start doubling down on my caffeine consumption.

Alfred software on the Mac is helpful for quick searches of Amazon, Google Maps, simple math equations, and launching apps.

I use a text replacement tool called TypeIt4Me to help type long strings of characters that I repeatedly use. For example, instead of typing out "the Metropolitan Museum of Art," I can just write "the Mmet" and the text automatically replaces "Mmet" with "Metropolitan Museum of Art." A lot of people use TextExpander for this purpose, too.

The Lift app on my iPhone has helped me to finally start a meditation habit and remind myself to track my sleep with my Jawbone UP band.

I love using an external mouse that has auxiliary side buttons. With my laptop, I use the Microsoft Mobile Mouse 6000. I have my left aux button configured to be a back button, and my right aux button to close the current window. This works well for navigating the internet and cleaning out tabs in Google Chrome.

For navigating the New York City subway system, my favorite app is ExitStrategy. It tells you exactly which car of the train to stand in to be closest to the exit when you arrive at the station. Saves a few minutes during each trip, which adds up.

The Email Game is my favorite way to clean out an unruly Gmail inbox. That website has single-handedly helped me to catch up on hundreds of emails.

I use the Instapaper bookmarklet to quickly save interesting articles to be read on my cell phone, and Pocket for videos to watch later on my iPad.

Finally, I use email list software like Campaign Monitor or Survey Monkey. I have a "Friends Newsletter" that I use to keep in touch with best friends as well as the cool new people I meet around the world. The Friends Newsletter database has three variables: full name, email address, and "we met." The "we met" variable is a plain text field where I can dump notes about how and where I met the person. It's fun to include in an otherwise mass message, and it adds a cool personal touch to the footer of the email. (For example, "We met via Arikia at Elizabeth Stark’s apartment in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in 2008.") I send out notes to my Friends Newsletter every few months, usually composed of cool projects that my friends are working on, but lately for self-promotion to help me launch Museum Hack.

What's your workspace like?

At home, I have this standing desk paired with an anti-fatigue mat and a large LCD. For focused computer time, I sit down. My company is in total bootstrap mode, so we often work at a cafe in the Metropolitan Museum of Art or at a shared office space in Manhattan.

Pictured above: a Museum Hack tour group.

What's your best time-saving trick?

Using virtual assistants for short tasks. I can send the thing off, forget about it, and not get trapped in a research hole. I like Fancy Hands for most small tasks, and SuperCalendar for managing my calendar. Starting to use a virtual assistant can be tough. I imagine it’s like if you don’t use a notepad and paper for notes. You might not know where to start or what to delegate. Here are a few of the most recent things I have sent to my virtual assistants:

  • Add all of these flight times to my Google Calendar, and include the airport code in the event title.
  • Find which retailers on-line sell a certain type of cologne. Send me pricing information including tax and shipping.
  • Find Twitter profiles for these 30 people.
  • Reserve these five books at the local library for me.

The Fancy Hands iPhone app with voice dictation is totally underrated. I love to use it to send quick tasks, like the cologne request above.

What's your favorite to-do list manager?

Trello and Evernote. Trello is great for project management, because you can add notes and due dates and sharing. Evernote works best for me in grocery lists and same-day assignments. I also carry a small pad of paper and pen almost everywhere I go, but that's mostly for interesting notes about life and cool things that people tell me (books, movies, etc).

Besides your phone and computer, what gadget can't you live without?

Folding sunglasses. My friend Tynan introduced me to the Ray-Ban RB4105 Folding Wayfarers. They are a classic frame that is stylish and yet surprisingly compact and rugged when stowed. I consider these indispensable because my eyes are very sensitive. Plus I look 100% less geeky when I am wearing cool sunglasses.

What everyday thing are you better at than anyone else?

Making oatmeal—specifically steel cut oats. I learned this trick from my former roommate Jace Cooke: cook the steel cut oats in a Japanese rice cooker. I use the Zojirushi NS-LAC05XT. My recipe is 1/4 cup of oats and 1.25 cups of water. Add raisins, shredded coconut, salt, and cinnamon to taste. Stir the mix and select the porridge setting. One hour later, your oatmeal is ready. For bonus points, mix all the ingredients the night before and set the Zojirushi alarm. You’ll wake up to an amazingly delicious bowl of perfectly cooked steel cut oats.

Pictured above: Nick and a tour guest recreating Perseus with the Head of Medusa.

What are you currently reading?

Willpower, The Great Brain, Tiny Beautiful Things, The Only Way to Win, and Elanor & Park. I checked out all of those books from the New York Public Library this week. I also love my Kindle Paperwhite. The Kindle ecosystem—which allows you to read the first few chapters of a book before buying it—is incredible. But if I download a lot of books at once, they just sit there and get lost in my Kindle. I forget about them.

So, I've developed a little macro to easily reserve books from the New York Public Library. Whenever I get a book suggestion from a friend or read about a cool book on-line, I add it to my Amazon Wishlist. Every few weeks, I dump that Wishlist to Fancy Hands and have them reserve all the books at the library. There’s a beautiful branch of the NYPL around the corner from my apartment, so whenever I stop by, there are invariably books waiting for me. It's much easier to pick up and read a book when the physical copy is sitting out on my coffee table, reminding me of its presence. I rarely finish reading all of the books that I check out, but this little "hack" has increased the number of books that I read ten-fold.

Also: someone just gave me a copy of The Little Prince, which looks perfect for my reading level.

What do you listen to while you work?

If I listen to music, I like Mozart or popular tracks on The Hype Machine.

Are you more of an introvert or an extrovert?

Extrovert to a fault.

What's your sleep routine like?

I average about six and a half hours of sleep per night. I know that’s not enough. I have a variety of systems and optimizations to try and improve the quantity and quality of my restful sleep. I've used a Zeo extensively, and that encouraged me to get a firmer mattress and a better pillow. Now that Zeo went out of business, I use my Jawbone UP to keep track of how many hours I sleep per night. My favorite pillow, after testing a dozen memory foam and latex models, is an old-fashioned Japanese buckwheat pillow. I also sleep with an eye mask and earplugs.

Fill in the blank: I'd love to see ______ answer these same questions.

Elon Musk. Jeff Bezos. Garrett Camp. Ari Meisel. Tynan. Leo Babauta. Dave Asprey. Alexis Ohanian. Dennis Crowley. Zach Klein.

What's the best advice you've ever received?

My parents are the hardest working people that I know. I worked with my parents for about eight years at Flight Display Systems before I left in April to start Museum Hack. They inspire me to never give up, to focus on customer service, and to give more than I take.

Also: Sriracha on everything.

The How I Work series asks heroes, experts, and flat-out productive people to share their shortcuts, workspaces, routines, and more. Every other Wednesday we'll feature a new guest and the gadgets, apps, tips, and tricks that keep them going. Have someone you want to see featured, or questions you think we should ask?

Part 2: What is Christmas?

c. 2002

But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for see—I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord. – Luke 2:10-11 (NRSV)

Christmas is all of our traditions and time with family as well as the celebration (and thanksgiving!) for the Incarnation.  And we focus a lot of this on two days on the calendar.  I’ve been thinking a lot about “What is Christmas?” this year, because this year Eldest is a freshman in college.

For most parents launching a child, that means we would have him home in the next week or so after finals until sometime in January.  There is no serious significant other that he will be splitting time with, so we are still able to maintain our family traditions of being home on Christmas Eve (except for the worship services).  We can still visit Dave’s parents on Christmas Day.  We can still spend New Year’s Eve at my parents with my brother’s family.  We can still have hang out time together.

We could.

But we won’t.

In addition to being a college freshman, Eldest is also playing football. On October 27, I wrote this to my family as we planned when to get together for Thanksgiving and Christmas:

Here’s what I know about Thanksgiving and Christmas – Eldest will be home at some point for some period of time.  That being said, we can’t make any plans around Christmas and do not know that we will make it up.  They are now bowl eligible and will probably win at least two more games which means they are going to a bowl game.  We won’t know what bowl game until December 3.  Based on their schedule, we think they will play one of the later games (around December 31/January 1).

The Spartans flipped their record this year, going 9-3 and have earned a bowl game (Go Green!).  Last year, we learned all about football recruiting.  This year, we learned all about post-season college play.  Watching the rankings when they come out on Sundays and bowl prediction websites, it seemed clear that they would either play in the Citrus or Outback Bowl.  Florida in December!  Both are on January 1.  This would mess up New Year’s Eve with my family and Eldest would need to fly out on Christmas morning, but we’d still have Christmas Eve together.

We received the December practice schedule after the final game of the season, so I booked Eldest a ticket home on December 20.  He was going to fly to Florida on December 25 (as would we).  We’d enjoy Florida and hopefully a Spartan victory and all come home on January 2 for some family time before Eldest head’s back for the spring semester on January 7.

But then December 3 came.  (Remember me saying Eldest would be home at some point for some period of time and we wouldn’t know until December 3 when the bowl games were announced?  Obviously, I forgot it.)  Because of the powers that be (read $$ in college football), the Spartans will be playing in the Holiday Bowl.

In San Diego.

On December 28.

The ticket home on December 20 will go unused.  Instead, we will be driving to Michigan to get Eldest on December 18 because the change fees are too high to switch the date.  Christmas Eve together as a family?  Not really, since he’ll be heading back to Michigan on December 21.  Early trip for us to sunny California?  No, a short trip – because I work on Christmas Eve (you know, that little part about celebrating the miracle of the incarnation).

In full transparency, we actually haven’t been home for Christmas Day the last two years.  We’ve taken advantage of long Christmas breaks while our nuclear family was still intact.  Two years ago, we were in Hawaii for Christmas Eve/Christmas, and we celebrated one way (I brought the stockings, candles, and some gifts).  Last year, we flew out on Christmas morning, and celebrated in yet some different ways.  If I wasn’t a pastor, we’d fly out to San Diego around the time Eldest does and we’d be together on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.] In Hawaii, watching the Christmas Story – our family tradition – on ChristmasDay.] Christmas tree in St. Croix, with palm trees and the ocean in the background.]

So – after all of the new travel plans have been made – I’ve been thinking a lot about how we celebrate Christmas (and why) and how we keep some of our Christmas Eve traditions, differentiating between those that relate to celebrating the Incarnation versus those that are family time and gift giving.  What is Christmas?

What are we actually celebrating?

It isn’t really Jesus’ birthday.  It isn’t simply gift giving.  It isn’t a single day or an 18-hour window of guarded time together.  We go through a lot of maneuvers to try to be with family on a specific day.  Is Christmas about a day or about how we spend it?  After all, it wasn’t merely the tradition of being home for Christmas Eve/morning that I wanted to preserve the last two years as we traveled.  Rather, it was sharing time together.

As a family, we’re still working it out.  We won’t abandon all of our Christmas Eve traditions because our family of three will still be together on the actual day.] I admit that poker for Christmas presents and candy became a new tradition on Christmas Eve in Hawaii. BTW, sugar packets and granola bars work for chips when you are traveling.]

But we also won’t really have any lazy days home together as a family since Youngest will be in school on all the days Eldest is actually home (although I think we’ll solve that by missing a day of school).] Because seeing this is one of my favorite things.]

But maybe all of this is a good thing.  Chances are, we may have few if any opportunities to spend our 18 hours together in the future.  By unbundling all of the Christmas vs. christmas stuff, we might free ourselves up to fully enjoy all of what makes Christmas Christmas for us:  time together as a family, giving one another gifts, maintaining and building holiday traditions, and actually celebrating the Good News of Great Joy for all people.

Might it be a more wonderful time of the year if we didn’t squeeze it all into such a single day on the calendar?

It’s true, Christmas Eve will feel a little less full for me this year.  The kids won’t be nestled all snug in their beds – or at least not their beds in our house.  But Christmas and christmas will still be merry this year because it will be more mindful this year.  And maybe, it will be the best Christmas yet.

A Guide to Management Companies

If you have bought a property such as an apartment or a house within a new development, there are likely to be common areas for you and other home owners to enjoy.

These common areas may be as practical as a lift in an apartment block or alternatively could be a communal green or garden in a housing development.

But who is responsible for the common areas contained in your property?  Here’s all you need to know…

Who is in charge of maintaining the common areas?

The upkeep of these common areas is organised by a Management Company.  This is a company which is set up by the developer of the apartment building or housing development.  Each property within the apartment block/housing development will have one share each in the Management Company.

The Management Company will be responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the common areas and insurance covering these areas. The Management Company will meet annually in order to allow residents to address issues of concern such as litter or noise.   It is worthwhile attending these meetings as there may also be discussion on issues which may affect the costs that the Company incurs each year – for example, costs relating to the frequency of works such as weeding or window washing, or the replacement of items of large expenditure such as lifts or remote control gates and doors.

Who pays for the maintenance of the common areas?

The Management Company is funded by way of a ‘service charge’ which you, along with the other residents of the apartment block/development, will be obliged to pay annually.  It is important that you account for this expense when considering whether a property is affordable for you.  The service charge can be substantial, especially where there are lifts to maintain or Block Insurance to pay in respect of an apartment block.

What happens if I don’t pay my service charge?

As with any other company, the non-payment of service charge can result in the Management Company failing which can have severe ramifications when you either attempt to get insurance or ultimately sell the property.  This can be a particular problem in the case of apartments. While a well-run Management Company can be of great benefit, when they cease to function, homeowners can find themselves greatly out of pocket and inconvenienced trying to have a new Management Company set up.  It is important that you should consider this risk when deciding if a property is really for you.

Direct Writing and Controlling of Hierarchical Functional Metal-Oxides: Bio-inspired Multiphase Processing, 3D Printing and Hierarchical Cellular Structuring

  • M. A. Torres Arango
  • N. J. Morris
  • K. A. Sierros
Functional Materials for Printed, Flexible and Wearable Electronics

Nature-inspired processing of complex reticular/cellular architected materials by selectively incorporating multiphase materials in emulsions with targeted interactions is reported in this work. In particular, structuring of TiO2 foams at different scales is realized by combining colloidal processing and 3D printing with fundamental understanding of the TiO2 nanoparticle system. Specifically, hybrid TiO2/Ti-organic aqueous suspensions are emulsified with bio-compatible and naturally synthesized oil stabilizers where air bubbles are trapped, forming the cells of the wet foams, which are subsequently directly written as planar and three-dimensional free-standing and spanning structures. Variations in the formulation of these emulsions are implemented to tune their viscosity and render diverse cell morphologies (i.e., open- or closed-cell foam configurations) while controlling their micro-, meso- and macro-porosity. Investigation of the foams’ curing using heat versus UV light indicates differences in the emulsion’s oil-phase elimination mechanism with effects in their microstructure, which, added to the characteristic relationships between the foams’ microstructures and their photocatalytic activity, can be used to target specific properties. Our synthesis method, adjusted from the cosmetics industry, combines inorganic processing with emulsion systems of non-toxic and abundant material precursors to realize hierarchically ordered mesoporous titania foams. This method can be further exploited with other metal-oxide materials systems and even more complex emulsions to meet the needs of the currently growing technologic application fields. Moreover, we anticipate our family of foams to be readily relevant for a plethora of applications including catalysis, energy harvesting and recovery, and biomedical. Designed to be safe and water-compatible, our multi-phase emulsion systems marry high control over the materials’ microstructure and interfaces with scalable, affordable and responsible manufacturing.

About these proceedings

Research in Interactive Design (vol. 3) presents an in-depth study of new product design methods. Interactive design is an original structured design approach that has recently emerged from transversal research. On the research side, the topic of interactive design is the fruitful result of sophisticated joint studies combining specific numerical engineering theories, original development in design science and industrial engineering, new discoveries in mechatronics and advanced mechanical engineering methods. Additionally, industry benefits from interactive design instruments. Interactive design is a constructive approach that tends to ensure innovation by improving user-integration in the design process, fostering the development of virtual prototypes and providing new powerful ways for collaborative design activities. Interactive design instruments are seen as the extension of traditional CAD tools. This book provides an accurate overview of the recent research or industrial application in interactive design. The different arguments, taken from the international conference Virtual Concept 2010, will provide the reader with some advanced solutions concerning new methods and tools by discussing: - modelling techniques: new techniques ensuring the development of high qualified, up-dated and reduced models being able to represent the behaviour of a process or a product in its environment; - design solution space exploration: specific instruments dedicated to the identification of suitable design solutions and their virtual representation allowing engineers to have interaction with the virtual worlds; - interactive process organization: studies highlighting the basic evolutions of a process integrating new instruments of interactive design. Each subsequent part of the book addresses both advanced techniques and industrial applications of the latest successful research in interactive design. The solutions presented are enhanced by demonstrations of real industrial problem-solving. The different chapters strongly highlight novel solutions for supporting decision-making in a huge field of engineering: product design, manufacturing and assembly, training and risk prevention, Robotics, design for customers, mechanical engineering, etc. In this book, whether a researcher or an industrialist, the reader will find the most recent interactive design techniques and is sure to extract some significant concepts.
