Screenshot Weekly – Destructive Super Novas Cause Craters

Welcome back to Screenshot Weekly! Every Tuesday, IGM brings you exclusive looks at upcoming games in various stages of development. The featured image introducing each game will always be original, and made especially for IGM, so you’ll see them for the first time right here! (Make sure to click the pics to see them in their full screen glory.) Without further ado, let’s take a look at this week’s screenshots:

Crater Kings

You want to know what the future of sports entertainment looks like? It’s all about the return of the rock. No, not Dwayne Johnson, a different rock. Here, I’ll let the developers at Grapplehook Games explain it to you: “As the people of Earth expanded their demand for resources beyond the confines of their home planet, mining operations began to take place on the moon. No work is without its slow days however, and Moon mining was no excpetion. The workers began to use their highly specialized equipment and mining tools to challenge each other in games of strange mining sport. This gave birth to their the ‘King of The Crater’ tournament! Earn respect from Lunar Mining Corp and your worker peers by mastering smashing rocks in space!” You know the funny part about that synopsis? I bet astronauts already made a sport out of lunar mineral collecting. Boys will be boys, as the saying goes, and we turn just about everything into a competition. Gameplay details about Crater Kings can be found on the game’s website.

Nova Blitz

Nova Blitz is looking to stand out amongst the many indie TCGs out there by offering an assortment of differentiating mechanics. As an example, the devs at Dragon Foundry mentioned that “turns are shared between you and your opponent, so the action takes place simultaneously. There’s no waiting for your opponent to take their turn.” There’s also a shuffler that “reduces the chances of Energy Screw (not having enough resources to play your cards).” Drafts are then done between real players, so card packs are traded with actual players and not determined by a random algorithm. Finally, “Nova Blitz booster packs will be smart packs: You get to choose the expansion the cards come from; you won’t be locked to one.” There’s a whole lot more information on the way, as the game is still in the early stages of development, but lore-wise the story pits different Novas against each other in gladiatorial combat in an effort to earn a place in the annual Nova Blitz championship, where winners receive fame and fortune.

That’s it for this installment of Screenshot Weekly. Be sure to come back next week to see more exclusive looks of the latest indie games in development! Let us know in the comments section what upcoming indie games you’d like to see featured in a future segment. As for any indie developers who would like to see their screenshots featured right here, feel free to send an email to IGM at with the Subject Line: “Screenshot Weekly.” Or, if you’d like to be part of our Magazine’s Screenshot Monthly segment, include that in the email as well!

Do you remember Rocky II? That moment when Adrien awakens from a coma, and asks Rocky to win the fight?

Rocky begins training like crazy while we hear a very motivating music. We want to be there, we want to enter the movie and train with Rocky in order to teach that cocky Apollo Creed a lesson,

Well, we can do it now… Welcome to Punch Club!

At first, the game appearance can be misleading. Beautiful pixel art graphics and catchy music could make us think of an arcade (both aspects retroact me a bit to Streets of Rage). But it is not a beat-em-up or a fighting game, but a simulator. Specifically, a boxing simulator.

This means we won’t control our character during the fights. Our work will be to increase his stats, train to learn new moves, and then study the rival’s fighting style to counter it and overcome it. But beware, this task is not easy. If we play on a routine basis, like a zombie, Punch Club will slap our asses and make us pay. In other words, we will lose the fights.

Gameplay is based on the distribution we do of our daily time. Training consumes energy, energy is restored with food, food is worth money, money is earned through work, and work takes time you can’t use for training. The daily cycle of a perfect boxer.

The concepts that influence our routine are health, hunger, mood, and energy. If one of them falls too much, our character won’t be able to train, or work. We will need to rest, go to kiw-e-mart to get food, or watch some TV. Combat stats are strength, agility and endurance. The character’s development is tied to these factors. They will affect the way we fight. Strength will make us hit harder, agility is linked to our ability to hit and dodge the opponent’s blows, and energy is consumed with every movement of our character, to the point that when it falls to 0, our character will need time to recover. More important, if he gets hit, he will fall down with an extra damage.

After each combat or sparring practice we will be awarded with skill points. Such points will be used for learning new attacks and traits that improve our character as a boxer (or Kick-boxer, because in Punch Club kicks are allowed). In other words, basically we play the role of Mick, Rocky’s coach. Yes, it will be our coach also in the game, although that is not the only easter egg that appears in Punch Club. The game is an obvious tribute to the 80’s and Rocky Balboa’s saga. But the wonderful thing about this game is not only his nostalgic aura. The gameplay has been carefully developed in order to make Punch Club an addictive experience… like very few others has ever done, believe me.

Feed me, Mick.

In my opinion, one of the game’s great successes is the sequential rhythm in which new areas and possibilities are unlocked while we play. This prevents Punch Club to fall down into a boring routine. There is always something new to do, a new quest to accomplish while we train and progress in the boxing leagues. About the areas to be unlocked in the game, I won’t say anything, because discovering the new places in the city is one aspect that I really like about the user experience of Fight Club. Neither I won’t speak about our rivals, who are inspired by martial arts personalities, and characters from movies and video games. This is a great thing of Punch Club and is up to you to discover!

The whole game has this tribute feeling to it. A continuous wink to the player. As a simulator, it works very well, as it raises challenges without turning the game into a nightmare (although I have not tried the hardcore mode). Most importantly, the game system makes our decisions important, and our mistakes a thing that we will definitely pay for. There is no game over, but I assure you one thing: losing a fight after days of preparation feels like a real defeat. As it progresses, difficulty increases exponentially.

I want to emphasize three aspects of this boxing simulator: graphics, addictiveness, and tributes. I am among those who think that less is more and that pixel art is true art. This game, at least to me, it’s completely visual, attractive. I guess not all should be positive speech in a review, but it is hard to find any mistakes in Punch Club. Maybe the idea of our protagonist’s fiancé is an aspect to be improved. I think it offers many possibilities that have not been exploited: a better personality, sidequests… Luckily, TinyBuildGames has shown they intend to publish interesting DLCs, as in the case of Dark fist, for example, that offers additional 4 hours of gameplay with the possibility of becoming an urban hero.

The concept of our player’s fiancé could offer a lot more possibilites.

Therefore, it seems that Punch Club will be EVEN BETTER in the future. Although the stakes are very high, hopefully it will happen, because it may mean Punch Club is gradually renewed, and will keep us all hooked on the beautiful dream that the golden 80’s, and its carefully pixel-by-pixel crafted games remain.

As if this were not enough, Punch Club is completely replayable. At some point, we are able to choose from one of the three fighting styles of the game, each with its advantages and weaknesses. This will make you wish to start over sometimes, for retracing your steps and changing the way you set up our character.

In conclusion, this is one of the most original and carefully developed games I’ve been fortunate to play in many years. A jewel in the whole independent games movement.

Distraction from Globalization

The promulgation of the battle between "Liberals" (a greatly misused word) and Conservatives is nothing but a Machiavellian distraction from the fact that Elites (both Republican & Democrat, "Liberal" & Conservative) are dismantling this Republic via Globalization...and getting rich in the process. It's not the "Liberals v. Conservatives" today; instead, it's the Elites v. the rest of us. Some of the Elites are "Liberal" and some are "Conservative". The old paradigm is long dead, but the Elites use it to mislead and distract us from the fact that they are in the process of "globalizing" the U.S.

There is no hope whatsoever for this country as long as people continue to believe that the battle is between Liberals & Conservatives, or Democrats & Republicans. That may have been true in the past, but today it is a complete charade...a farce. It keeps the masses placated and distracts them from the fact that Republican and Democrat Elites are dismantling our Republic...and getting super-rich in the process. Meanwhile, sincere but misled Americans continue to squabble over issues that pale in comparison to the issue of Globalization.

A worldwide, mega economic structure is being created via Globalization, and in terms of destroying the U.S., it is a gazillion times more important than ALL the so-called "Liberal or Conservative" issues combined. We will be a Third World country relatively soon, and whether it's a Conservative or "Liberal" country won't matter one iota. There will be only the super-rich Elites and the rest of us---the poor.

It breaks my heart to see sincere Americans arguing over things like whether or not the word "God" should be on our money when, at the same time, Globalization (promoted by both Republicans & Democrats, "Liberals" & Conservatives) is completely destroying our country, way of life, and form of government.

For the most part, Americans are asleep at the wheel.

Ask yourself: why do BOTH the Clintons AND the Bush Family support NAFTA? Why do BOTH Republicans AND Democrats support: the World Trade Organization, the concept of a North American Union, the concept of a global currency, the export of American jobs overseas, tax breaks and loans for multi-national companies that move manufacturing facilities out of this country, foreign aid to countries where the "aid" rarely reaches the people, bailouts for companies (and especially CEOs) who don't know how to run a business, and on & on?

Ask yourself: why do BOTH Republicans AND Democrats continue to devalue the dollar with deficifit spending? Why do they not address our HUGE trade imbalance with China?

Ask yourself: why do BOTH Liberals AND Conservatives completely ignore parts of the Constitution when it comes to money, the legal authority of the Fed Govt, and things such as bailouts for private companies?

The fact is, the movers & shakers of both major political parties are on the same team. They are doing everything possible to bring about Globalization, which will be the end of this country as we once knew it. And they are getting rich doing it. Meanwhile, American voters argue about whether or not the Ten Commandments should be displayed in a public building...and think that they can save the country by "voting".

The Constitution is ignored at will by both "Liberals" & Conservatives. [Direct quote: "Stop telling me about the Constitution. The Constitution is just a goddamn piece of paper." ~ George W. Bush (former King of the U.S.)] The dollar is being devalued at an unprecedented rate by both Republicans & Democrats---during the first 7 years or so of the King George Administration alone (during which Republicans controlled Congress), the dollar lost 40% of its value via deficit spending and the pumping of cash into the system through interest rate manipulation by the Fed Reserve.

Mega, multi-national companies contribute equally to national Democrat and Republican candidates...and they get a big bang for their bucks. These same mega companies are steamrolling this country down the path toward complete Globalization, and their Crony national politicians are the vehicle.

Do some research on David Rockefeller, a prominent Republican Elite. He has stated flat out that the Elites know what is best for the rest of us...and that is (according to him): unelected CEOs of multi-national companies and Foundations running the government of this country, whether the Administration is Repub or Dem, it doesn't matter. He said that Americans are now "sophisticated enough" to realize the value of that setup.

If Americans don't wake up to the fact that we are being bamboozled with the myth of the battle between "Liberals" and Conservatives, within your (not my) lifetime here's what you'll see:
1. the disappearance of our national sovereignty (the name will still be the USA, but it will be meaningless);
2. adoption of a global currency;
3. for all practical purposes, the elimination of our national borders;
4. more & more manufacturing moved overseas;
5. mandatory "national" service for all "citizens";
6. "political correctness" (i.e., conformism) on a global scale;
7. the importation of even more foreign workers;
8. the importation of even more foreign goods and services;
9. economic and monetary policy dictated by an unelected global body composed of the CEOs of mega multi-national companies; and,
10. totally unconstitutional surveillance of commoners.

And it will all be approved of, and brought about by, the Republican and Democrat (Conservative and "Liberal") Crony, Elite political establishment. That is David Rockefeller's vision---he has admitted to it publicly. He is well on his way to accomplishing that goal.

It is, in one sense, Mega Corporate Socialism. But according to Mussolini, it is Fascism: "the perfect marriage of Corporations and the State". The name of the Game nowadays is very plainly: the best way for the Elites to get even richer---and that is through Globalization. Democrats, Republicans, "Liberals", Conservatives---these are all anachronisms to the Elites of today. They think WAY ABOVE any such labels. And they are in the process of totally eliminating the Republic of the United States of America.

In my opinion, pundits such as Coulter, Limbaugh, and any "Liberal" pundit you can name are either in on the scam (through investments in the Mega Corps), totally ignorant, or complete fools. The old paradigm is long gone, and apparently they can't see that.

If it weren't so tragic, the whole thing would be comical.

[I keep putting the word "Liberal" in quotes because all of the Founders of this country were liberal; plus, the word is an adjective, not a noun.]

That GOP Closet Requires A Revolving Door

If it took Ken Mehlman 43 years to figure out that he is gay, that could explain how he was slow enough to fail to recognize by 2004 (when he was George W. Bush's campaign manager) that the presidency of Bush the Lesser was a comprehensive, spectacular failure.

On the other hand, being up to speed on his sexual orientation was irrelevant to recognition of the immorality of complicity in Karl Rove's strategic use of anti-gay referenda and homophobic churches to push slack-jawed Republicans to the polls.

Scorecard on Ken Mehlman: Newly gay, still dumb (he thinks he can make the Republican Party more tolerant of gays) and immoral. Add the ample blood on his hands from Iraq, and it might be time to seek some counseling.

1 comment:

PK said...

Always amazing when the person who comes out is the last to realize the truth. He set off enough gaydar over the years to block cell phone signals.

Add "ignorant" to the list with this doozie from the article:

He often wondered why gay voters never formed common cause with Republican opponents of Islamic jihad, which he called "the greatest anti-gay force in the world right now."

Gee, Ken, maybe because your masters were rather the Republican mob of gay jihad, and were the true "greatest anti-gay force in the world right now."

Jagoff. Do us a favor and go back in the closet, then lock the door behind you.

Samsung demonstrated flexible display

At last the exhibition SID Display Week 2016, Samsung unveiled one of the most anticipated products of the future.

Samsung says goodbye to Android Wear

The Gear Live, which runs on Android Wear have been released in 2014, all other smart watch Samsung worked with its own Tizen OS.

Samsung has officially confirmed that the company has no plans to continue the production of devices such as smart watches that use Android Wear as the operating system. However, we cannot say that the Samsung is different some love to the creation of Google, the company has previously produced only one watch with Android Wear, smartwatch but the portfolio is much more than a single model.

2, the Gear Fit from Samsung on the "live" photos

In the press continue to leak out emails about new Samsung devices in the segment of wearable electronics.

Photos and specifications of the protected smartphone Samsung Galaxy S7 Active

American journalist Evan Nelson Blass (Evan Nelson Blass) in the portal VentureBeat published information with photos and technical characteristics of the new, still not officially announced, the smartphone Samsung Galaxy S7 Active with increased protection from external influences, which, judging by the logos, will be produced at the North American mobile operator AT&T.

Samsung is preparing to release a strong "middling" smartphone SM-C5000

The South Korean company Samsung Electronics is preparing to release a new model of mid-tier smartphone – SM-C5000 (on sale most likely will go under the brand name Galaxy C5) with very decent technical features for not a top of the device.

Apple still saves on new technologies and research

Samsung may launch Galaxy Note 6 budget Lite

As usual Galaxy Note 6, this is likely to be the most expensive smartphone that the company will release, features suggesting. But because the relevance of the budget version really is.

so, we know that soon we are waiting for fresh phablet Samsung Galaxy Note 6. He predict 6 gigabytes of memory, Snapdragon 823, 5.8-inch screen with QHD resolution etc. But we have already heard. Of the new today network spoke of the fact that Samsung is preparing a lightweight version of the device budget, which can obtain the name of the Galaxy Note Lite 6.

Xiaomi and Lenovo pushed out of the five leaders in China

OPPO and Vivo, of course, not so newcomers, but they are much less known in the market of gadgets. The volume of products that these companies diverge in the hands of consumers is impressive. It is reported by IDC, talking about the volumes in the first quarter of 2016.

Two major Chinese known manufacturer Xiaomi and Lenovo, which we are used to seeing everywhere, used to see impressive sales data, gradually losing ground in the market in China. Previously, these guys were part of the five biggest vendors in the native market. Now they have shifted the newcomers OPPO and Vivo.

Samsung is preparing a new line of wearable electronics

Samsung launches Trade-in program in Russia

That's called a campaign in the official press release, although, of course, this is just an ad campaign than a real trade-in program.

Samsung launches a temporary trade-in program in Russia. Now some may get a discount for buying smartphones Galaxy A3. Galaxy A5, Galaxy A7, 2016 or Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 Edge. Though only 1 to may 31. You can give the device line Galaxy A, Galaxy S5 or Apple. Thus it is possible to benefit up to 20 thousand rubles.

Samsung is working on a middle-level tablet Galaxy Tab 4 Advanced

The Flagship Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge distracted the attention of the public from tablets Samsung, however the Korean giant continues to update and Supplement the lineup with new models Tab.

Samsung Galaxy Note 6 budet s USB Type-C

It is reported by the resource SamMobile. They once predicted a USB Type-C for smartphones Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, which really did not happen. I assume that Samsung did not hurry with the update USB, because its Gear VR would be unable to work with devices directly without any adapters or other similar devices. But the company plans such as the upgrading and Gear VR, and therefore all the same the emergence of USB Type-C u Note 6 it seems very likely.

About the anticipated phablet Samsung Galaxy Note 6, we already wrote a bit earlier. Here and here . Now the network is rife with the news that this smartphone will receive the long-awaited USB Type-C.

Samsung has started to distribute in India firmware with Marshmallow for Android smartphone Galaxy S5 (model SM-900I). As a result, the user will receive Android 6.0.1 and the firmware build will change to G900IDDU1CPD1.

Some Galaxy C7 found in AnTuTu

In a recent AnTuTu tests found the new device - Galaxy C7. This is reported by sources from the social network Weibo. Smartphone labeled SM-C7000, it easily can be attributed to budget gadgets, but to those closer to the flagship.

Samsung continues to release a really huge number of smartphones. Variety, of all shapes and sizes. On the one hand, of course, the company actively makes money. On the other hand this has some advantages for consumers, because not everyone can afford top-end Galaxy S7, and take something cheaper and easier is already possible.

‘IT’ sector is still hot

Wednesday, June 25, 2014 l Source: Hindustan Times

Information Technology enabled-Services (ITeS) are a major chunk of the Indian economy today. With many qualified people being an important part of this industry, there is a surge in the number of IT companies and the growth potential of the entire sector is immense.

India is one of the fastest-growing IT services markets in the world. Thanks to the vast amount of opportunities available within the IT sector, a number of youngsters hope to make a career in the field.

According to data released by the department of industrial policy and promotion (DIPP), the computer software and hardware sector attracted foreign direct investment (FDI) worth Rs. 59,381.64 crore ($ 9.89 billion) between April 2000 and February 2014. The IT industry has many off-shoots like business process outsourcing (BPO), engineering and research development, software and hardware services, products, etc.

Multinationals and Indian companies also operate in the market, ensuring that the Indian IT sector has girth and size to match global peers. Companies that deal with products focus on developing software, websites, servers and mobile apps, etc.

Telecom body to consider calling card option

Tuesday, February 03, 2009

Domestic and international long-distance call charges may fall soon as the government may accept the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India’s (Trai) recommendation to allow the use of calling cards to provide a subscriber the option of choosing his or her operator.

Introducing calling cards to make STD and ISD calls is the best alternative to the carrier selection code (choice of operators) as this would save cost, which can be spent on upgrading the networks of existing operators.

Using calling cards will increase competition in the long-distance segment and may bring down international calling charges by up to 70%, analysts said.

In its recommendations submitted last year, Trai had said considering implementation issues such as estimating and sharing network setup or upgrade cost by long-distance operators, implementing carrier selection may not be justified in the present scenario.

The department of telecom (DoT) has forwarded its report for approval to the telecom commission, which is meeting here on Monday to consider it, officials familiar with the matter said.

Work hard, exercise harder for a better life

Sunil Ghosh wakes up at 6am every morning, puts on his cycling gear and pedals away for a good two hours. A 35-yearold senior executive at a Noidabased IT firm, he drives to work at 11am. “So I use my time in the mornings for some exercise.

On some days, I cycle down for about 20km on an average, and on others, I jog or walk for a couple of hours. That apart, I go trekking whenever I’m on a holiday. The key is to ensure that you set apart time for exercise,” he says. A number of employees are increasingly realising that staying fit is crucial to both their physical and mental wellbeing.

Ankush Kapahi, senior engineer, Huawei Telecommunications India Pvt Ltd, says exercising helps him stay positive, happy and focus better on work. Kapahi’s fitness re gime includes cardio training, marathons, meditation classes and a balanced nutritious diet, among others, thanks to his gym membership in Gurgaon. He also goes golfing on some weekends. How does he find time to exercise?

“My job profile includes 24 hours support, which makes it a little difficult for me to balance work and physical fitness. So I try and visit my office gym if I’m working late. Fitness is an integral part of my life and it acts as a stress-buster,” he says.

stick children holding hands

We will be settling into life at Thornford School and learning about ourselves, others and the locality.

Personal, Social and Emotional Development

During this term the Reception children are settling into school life and are developing a clear understanding of class and school responsibilities. This term we will be creating our own Class Charter, thinking about the rules we need to follow for a happy classroom. The children will learn to work together, take turns and share fairly through structured play activities. We will be encouraging the children to develop their independence through undressing and dressing for PE.

Year 1 children are beginning to work confidently with less support. With only a small group of children here on Mondays and Fridays until the beginning of October, this allows for focused English, Phonics and Maths sessions.
How can you help me at home?

Encourage me to try new things, whether it be getting stuck into messy play or experimenting with musical instruments. Please share your child’s current interests with us so we can use these to support the planning for your child’s development.

Communication and Language

There will be many opportunities for the children to express their ideas and listen to others. We will be encouraging the children to listen attentively and respond to others by discussing ideas and asking questions. The children will be interacting with their peers in play situations where they will continue to develop their language skills and imagination to recreate roles and experiences. The Role Play area will change regularly to support this. Year 1 will be developing ‘talk for writing’ skills where they verbalise their sentences before writing them down.
Physical Development

Our PE sessions take place on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.These will start with dance sessions where the children will be moving in different ways and performing using a variety of movement patterns. They will also be participating in gymnastics, namely investigating different ways of travelling (e.g. rolling, jumping) and safely using large apparatus, also learning and practicing ball skills. We develop the children’s fine motor skills by providing a range of activities such as patterning, threading, modelling with dough and cutting tasks. We will also be using the outdoor space as much as possible to help develop the children’s spatial awareness.
English (Reading and Writing)

The children will have daily phonics sessions and will be heard read regularly. At the beginning, for the Reception children, this will involve looking through a book and discussing the story, via the pictures. Reception children will build up a repertoire of letter sounds and will start to segment and blend them into simple words. We will also focus on reading key words, some of which cannot be sounded-out phonetically and must be learnt by visual recognition (e.g. the, was, said). Your child will also practise letter formation using a variety of media (e.g. chalk, sand, whiteboards, gloop!).

Year 1 children will be working on reading and spelling tricky words and sounding out and writing regular words. They will also be writing simple sentences independently.

All children will be exploring stories with a familiar setting, poetry and non-fiction writing (e.g. writing lists, instructions).

Reception children should practise the sounds in the phonics folders and Year 1 children should practise their spellings every day, ready for the Friday morning spelling test. Year 1 children should also complete the (usually) weekly homework, mostly on the ActiveLearn website.
How can you help me at home?

Read my book with me at least 3 times a week (please note there are end ofterm reading rewards for those who do!). Please let us know when you have heard your child read.

Ask me questions about the story to encourage me to remember and think about the characters and events in the story.

New Additions at the Farm

Hi All!

It is Wednesday and, after a lovely week off, I now have to resume going to my interpreting class. What fun! NOT!

In an effort to not think about class tonight I will now smoothly change the topic.

This morning was absolutely beautiful for walking. It was about 58 degrees and there was a nice breeze blowing. The breeze hinted at the possibility of rain and the grey clouds in the sky seemed to agree. We will see if that comes to pass or not.

Currently Skor is playing with his paper shopping bag in the living room. I can hear him batting it around. He is probably trying to get inside to "hide" from Miss Cleo who is sitting nearby looking on with a bored expression. I am just glad that Skor is playing. He has been in such a little snit this morning.

Have I told you about Skor's habit of chewing on stuff? Well, one of his favorite things to chew is the light beside my bed. It is a sconce type light attached to the wall and it is the halogen kind which gets very hot. Does this deter the little bugger? NO WAY! He chews on the metal light shade which gets hot, hot, hot. He chews on the cord - for which he promptly gets a whack. He chews on the knob used to turn the light on and off. In fact, two days ago he managed to pull that little knob off of the light and drop it behind out headboard. Isn't he a fun little thing???

It is lucky for him that he is also darn cute!

Okay - my parents recently made an addition to their farm family. Take a look.

That is right! Goats! Seven Boer goats. Soon the plan is to put the goats into the enclosure which has the goat shed in it. However, that can't be done right away because the goats need a guardian.
They will be in the enclosure 24/7 and that makes them vulnerable to predators. They need protection. Like a donkey.
You may think donkey's are cute little things but in reality they can be quite mean and can really do damage to a coyote or wolf looking for a tasty goat snack.
So - until Dad can find a nice donkey to purchase, the goats will be bunking in the barn.
They are so cuties, aren't they?
Voice Update: Still missing once in a while but I am working on that. I am!!!

Those goats are adorable!!! Send Skor up there. He could guard them for a bit;)

Innovate out of your comfort zone

I hadn't planned on it.  It wasn't as though there was some great plan.  If you follow this blog you know that I tend to write about whatever pops into my head.  But I notice a pattern emerging this week.  A consistent set of blogs that examine what executives and managers get backward about innovation.  It's interesting, actually.  As a consultant who is regularly planning and leading innovation projects, it can be a bit disconcerting to see how often well-meaning teams get things almost exactly wrong.

Gut Instincts
Yesterday I talked about the "gut instincts" of managers, who think that "creativity must be free".  They refuse to provide boundaries or scope for innovation, when it cries out for it.  Later they force innovation into very defined processes or familiar channels, rather than allowing innovative ideas to carve their own paths.  As I said yesterday, gut instincts are often exactly backwards when applied to innovation.  For more innovation success, managers need to control what they would normally release, and release what they would normally control.

Doubling Down on Strengths
Today I want to focus on what you choose to innovate.  Again, this is about what is comfortable and in control, and being willing to take risks.  Many managers are too willing to innovate that which they understand and are familiar with, and ignore what is new, unusual or uncertain.  Further, many firms innovate around internal capabilities or technologies rather than based on customer expectations or needs. What this leads to is a constant "doubling down" on existing capabilities, features or technologies, rather than an introduction of new capabilities or features.

If that isn't clear, perhaps two illustrations will help.  The first is a short story:

A man leaves a bar and spots another man, clearly drunk, pacing the ground and clearly looking for something.  The man from the bar stops the drunk and asks:  what are you looking for?  The drunk answers:  I dropped my keys and I'm trying to find them.  The man from the bar agrees to help.  They scan the ground in ever increasing circles near a lightpole.  Finally, with no luck, the first man turns to the drunk and says:  You sure you lost your keys here?  No, replies the drunk, I lost them in the dark alley over there.  Why are we looking here, asks the first man?  The drunk replies, the light is better here.

In other words, regardless of where the needs are, what customers expect, we innovate where we are most comfortable and where the technologies and capabilities are most familiar.

Next, take a look at two (admittedly) crude graphics I created.  On the left, we can see the "space" where most firms want to innovate - where they strengths and capabilities lie, regardless of need or market shift.  On the right, we can see the space where most firms should be innovating, including capabilities, need or technologies where the firm lacks knowledge or capability.

Comfort, Familiarity and Control

What this diatribe comes back to is the recognition that many firms spend far too much of their very limited "innovation" budget and resources focusing on innovating what they "know" rather than spending time discovering what customers need.  The risk of customer discovery is that, like the graphic on the right, we will discover that customers need solutions or features that may not align to our strengths.  A firm can choose to ignore those needs, or can determine to innovate not only its products, but its knowledge, capabilities and even business model if necessary.

If the need exists, someone will rise to fill it.  Once they've successfully filled that need, they aren't going to stop there.  They'll learn how to address the capabilities and features that you believe are clearly in your sweet spot.  By focusing only on what you know, what you are comfortable with, what's familiar, you ignore customer requirements, constantly doubling down on existing strengths.  This makes your offerings and solutions more fixed, and limits your ability to move laterally.

To innovate successfully, you've got to move out of your own comfort zone.  This in turn may lead to the recognition that innovation isn't just about products.  It may be that it's your services, channels or even business models that need to change.

About Us

“Helping prisoners and parolees heal from the inside.”

History of The Inside Circle Foundation

The Inside Circle Foundation was officially formed in January of 1999 by Robert Allbee. Rob, a poet and former convict himself, had been offering his experience and expertise as writing instructor and men’s circle facilitator on a primarily volunteer basis in the California State Prison at Sacramento in Folsom, California. As the request for circles and writing instruction grew, taking more and more time away from his capacity to earn a living as a carpenter, he began to explore ways to solicit funding for these program he felt so strongly about. Rob recruited the help of his friend Donald Morrison, a local accountant, and together they formed Inside Circle Foundation.

The Work Landing

Who are we?

  • The Inside Circle Foundation (ICF), a not-for-profit organization created by inmates and ex-convicts, is dedicated to the personal growth of men in prison. The immediate goal is a reduction of prison violence and lower recidivism when inmates parole. The long- term goal is to let these men heal, and achieve meaningful lives. Contributions to ICF are deductible for US and California tax purposes.
  • ICF provides emotional literacy and behavioral change training through weekly support groups for inmates. The purpose of the ICF is to help inmates take behavioral, emotional and spiritual responsibility for their lives. The ICF helps inmates create environments in which prisoners can safely work and explore the issues that have prevented them from living up to their full potential as human beings.
  • The founders of ICF have been working with inmates and establishing weekly support groups within Folsom Prison since 1997. There are currently over one hundred inmates participating in groups inside several California prisons. In addition to the weekly meetings, ICF conducts several four-day intensives each year. While these numbers are encouraging, bear in mind that there are approximately 160,000 inmates in 33 prisons in Califoronia’s prison-industrial complex.

What do we provide?

  • ICF provides weekly support groups and periodic intensive trainings that allow the inmates an opportunity to discover for themselves how to take full responsibility for their lives and their behavior.
  • The inmates and volunteer ICF staff creates a safe environment where the inmates can tell the hard truths about their lives and discover the true motivation behind their destructive behavior, and the gifts and talents that they bring to the world. How is ICF different from similar programs?
  • The ICF groups and trainings provide the inmates with the opportunity to re-experience, heal and reframe the life traumas that have burdened their lives.
  • Inmates participating in ICF programs are there by choice. No “good-time” merits are awarded to the men for their participation. No letters go into their files. Their only reward is the knowledge that as they change, others will witness the change and have to deal with the consequences of their new choices.
  • ICF has a working relationship with an international network of men’s support groups, the ManKind Project, (MKP), outside the prison and across the country that will, as the program develops, “catch” the inmates upon their release from prison and invite them to participate in similar support groups on the outside that will support and encourage the new choices that they make in life. Additionally, the ICF has supported and encouraged the development of similar programs in other prisons nationally.

How did this get started?

In 1997, the late Patrick Nolan, an inmate at new Folsom Prison, felt the need for the inmates themselves to honestly and openly confront the ever-increasing violence in the environment in which they lived. Out of that need, the original Men’s Support Group was formed with the help of Chaplain Dennis Merino. Chaplain Merino and Inmate Nolan soon recognized that experienced facilitators were needed to help the groups.

Inmate Nolan and Chaplain Merino approached Arts-In-Corrections instructor Rob Allbee, knowing that he had extensive experience in men’s group processes, and asked him if he would help facilitate the groups. Allbee, himself a former convict, agreed to participate and quickly discovered that he needed additional outside volunteers to facilitate the increasing number of groups. Allbee, through his association with MKP, an international network of men’s groups, started to recruit men from the Sacramento MKP community to assist with the weekly group facilitation.

Once the weekly support groups were firmly in place, planning began for the first intensive training that would be held inside Folsom State Prison. Allbee enlisted the services of Bob Petersen and Don Morrison, both experienced support group and training facilitators, to help create the program and organization for the first intensive training. An additional step was the creation of the Inside Circle Foundation to handle the business aspects of the program. The second step was to gather the very best facilitators from around the world to help conduct the training.

During the four-day intensives, the inmates typically enjoy an intense spiritual and healing experience. This is possible because of the dedication and service of the many volunteer facilitators who participate in the trainings. These men, many who have come for multiple trainings, come from all over the United States as well as the United Kingdom and Australia. They are not compensated and pay their own expenses in Sacramento. They have donated their time and energy to assist these inmates in taking responsibility for their lives.

The ICF has received a generous response from the public and from the men of the ManKind Project. We could not do what we do without this financial support or without the volunteer’s assistance. The work simply would not have happened without this support.

What you can do:

First, you can indicate your interest by getting on our mailing list. Second, you can make a contribution to our work either on-line at our web site or by mail to our address below. Third, if you are grounded and have discovered your own mission in life, you can volunteer to staff the trainings in prison. Fourth, your can prepare your community and it’s groups to receive these “brothers in blue” when they return to your communities.

Send contributions and correspondence to Inside Circle Foundation, 5150 Fair Oaks Blvd. #237 Carmichael, CA 95609 – tel. (916) 482-4027 – or at our web site www.insidecircle.org, or by e-mail to info@insidecircle.org.

Scouting Report: Clippers vs. Grizzlies

By John Carroll

The Memphis Grizzlies are a tough, hungry team that wants to double last year's postseason efforts and make a deep run in 2012. Lionel Hollins has done a terrific job molding this team into an excellent defensive team that pounds the ball inside on offense. The Grizzlies have one of the deepest frontcourts in the NBA with Marc Gasol, Zach Randolph and Marreese Speights. Randolph may be the best low-post player in the NBA and he can get 20 points and 10 rebounds for the Grizzlies at any time in the postseason. They have a wing player in Rudy Gay who is an effortless, natural scorer. At the defensive end of the floor the Grizzlies have the height, length and toughness to combat the explosive play of Blake Griffin and negate his effectiveness.

The Grizzlies ended the season playing good basketball, going 13-3 in the month of April. They have the necessary tools to win in the postseason.

The Clippers were slotted in the No. 4 spot in the West but fell to fifth after three losses in the season's final week.cBut they do deserve a lot of credit having earned the first playoff berth for the franchise in six years. The Clippers are a very talented team but they will struggle against the more battle-tested Grizzlies unless they are on the same page and play as a collective unit in the playoffs. They are a young, untested playoff team and no one knows how they will react to the pressures and the slower pace of the playoffs.

One factor that will gather some attention in this series is the coaching matchup of Vinny Del Negro vs. Lionel Hollins. Del Negro has a poor postseason record (4-8) coming into this series and he came under tremendous criticism earlier this year. The playoffs bring out all the warts of a team, so there is nowhere to hide. Del Negro will have to be at the top of his game in this series, because Hollins has did a masterful job of coaching the Grizzlies in the playoffs last season. He was 7-6 in his first season coaching in the playoffs and has a balanced inside-out attack and tremendous team chemistry.

If the Grizzlies are able to beat the Clippers in the first two home games there will be tremendous pressure on the Del Negro when his team returns home to Los Angeles for Games 3 and 4. This is where Del Negro will earn his paycheck and we will find out if he has the ability to lead this young talented team to a deep playoff run.

Los Angeles Clippers Offense

• The Clippers started the season as an inside-out team but have morphed into an outside-in team as the season has progressed. They are now much more of a jump-shooting team. They need Chris Paul to drive and dish and generate points in the paint to combat the Grizzlies paint production. The Clippers must generate paint points in this series in order to have a chance.

• Clippers must control and take care of the basketball. Low-turnover teams win in the playoffs.

• The Clippers began the season as one of the poorest rebounding teams in the league. Over the course of the season they have become one of the better ones. Rebounding is essential in the playoffs where extra possessions are the difference between winning and losing. Griffin (3.3), DeAndre Jordan (3.1) and Kenyon Martin (1.2) must attack the offensive glass and provide the Clippers' offense more opportunities to score

• L.A. will run a ton of pick-and-rolls for Chris Paul. They will run middle picks, side picks and step-up picks. Paul is one of the best playmakers in the NBA and he as he comes off the picks he will read what the defense is giving him. He will score off picks, set up perimeter shooters or attack the rim and lob it up to Griffin for an easy score.

• The Clippers need to be judicious in their use of the 3-point shot. They shoot 21.8 per game and make 35.7 percent. If used wisely with inside out action and off pick and rolls by Paul the Clippers can hurt the Grizzlies. Paul, Foye, Young and Williams can do damage in the playoffs as long as they attempt quality 3-point shots.

• The Clippers have a major problem in late-game situations. They are a horrible free throw-shooting team at 68 percent for the season. The Grizzlies will foul Griffin, Jordan, Martin and Reggie Evans late in the game if necessary. This is a big disadvantage in a half-court grind-it-out game.

Memphis Grizzlies Offense

• The Grizzlies will continuously pound the ball inside to Gasol and Randolph. They will play old fashioned inside-out basketball. Gasol and Randolph work well together because of Gasol’s ability to play at the high post, which opens up the paint for Randolph. The Clippers will attempt to defend them with one-on-one coverage. This way the team can stay locked on Rudy Gay, O.J. Mayo and Mike Conley. This would slow the pace of the game and force the Grizzlies to become a one-dimensional team.

• The Grizzlies' offensive philosophy of pounding the ball inside makes them one of the top teams in the NBA in points in the paint, with 45.2 per game. Amazingly, this number is down from last season, when they scored 50.5 per game.

• Hollins will reinsert Randolph back into the starting lineup in this series. He can get 20 points and 10 rebounds at any point in this series if gets enough minutes.

• The Grizzlies will take advantage of their young legs and athleticism when the opportunity rises. They push the ball in transition and score 15.7 points per game on the fast break. This ranks them seventh in the NBA. The Grizzlies lead the league in steals at 9.6 per game and they are excellent in converting these steals into points.

• The Grizzlies Achilles' heel offensively is their perimeter shooting. They only shoot 32.9 percent from the 3-point line, which ranks 25th in the NBA. They are 28th in the league in 3-point attempts with only 12.9 per game. Mayo and Conley are the only two players that can knock down 3-point shots but even they are not big-time threats from deep range. Opponents can come off the perimeter players and help in the post without having to worry about getting beat from the 3-point line.

• Memphis gets to the free throw line thanks to their ability to get the ball into the paint. They put tremendous pressure on their opponents by getting to the foul line 22.8 times per game. They shoot 75.8 percent from the foul line and this is another advantage for them in the playoffs when points are so hard to come by. All of their high volume shooters Gay, Gasol, Randolph, Conley and Mayo are very good free throw shooters.

Player Matchups

Chris Paul: Paul is a proven playoff performer who will always be the best player on the court in this series. He is a superstar who can single-handedly carry the Clippers. Paul averaged 19.8 points and dished out 9.1 assists per game. In the last five games of the regular season he has averaged 26.8 points per game. Paul is one of the best pick-and-roll player in the game and the Clippers utilize the pick-and-roll extensively in their offense. He is a clutch performer who will deliver in late-game situations. He is deadly from the foul line down the stretch of games; he shot 86 percent from the line this season.

Mike Conley: Conley is a steady, facilitator who averaged 6.6 assists and only 2.0 turnovers per game. Conley is a pass-first point guard who gets Gay and Mayo shots in comfortable scoring positions. He understands how to feed his two big men Randolph and Gasol and keep them happy. Conley is a capable scorer who will pick and choose his spots. He connected on 38.0 percent of his 3-point attempts this season. He will have a very difficult matchup with Chris Paul in this series and he must be able to defend him in pick and rolls and not allow him to constantly get into the paint.

Shooting Guard

Randy Foye: Many thought Foye would be just a bit player this season for the Clippers with their logjam in the backcourt. But with the injury to Chauncey Billups early in the season Foye has gone from a backup to a starting role. Foye may be the most improved player on their roster this year. He leads the NBA in 3-point shots made since the All Star break and has scored 15.0 points per game and shot 45.5 from the 3-point line in the last five games for the Clippers.

Tony Allen: Allen brings a veteran presence to the Grizzlies lineup having played in numerous playoff games with the Celtics and now Memphis. He is one of the league's best defenders and will be assigned to the opponents top perimeter player throughout the playoffs. He is a big steal guy, averaging 1.8 for the season. He has improved offensively scoring 9.8 points per game for the Grizzlies this season. Allen is a driver who loves to attack the rim. His inconsistent perimeter shot gets him in trouble at times because he forces the drive when the jump shot is available. Hollins may slide Allen over to defend Paul in this series. He is long, and has excellent hands and he may be able to challenge Paul’s shot and give him a different look

Small Forward

Caron Butler: Butler’s job in this series is to control Gay. That may be a problem because Carmelo Anthony dominated him earlier this week in New York. The Clippers do not have anyone on their roster that can defend 6-8 scorers except for Butler. He has a tremendous amount of playoff experience having scored 16.4 points and 7.8 rebounds in 31 playoff games. Butler averaged 12.0 points this season but shot a poor 40.7 percent from the field.

Rudy Gay: Gay leads the Grizzlies in scoring again this season. Over the last 10 games of the season he has averaged 21.6 points and 6.6 rebounds per game. Rudy Gay is a scorer and has been a perfect complement to the inside post play of Randolph and Gasol. He did not play in last year's playoffs due to injury and it is yet to be seen if he can be a go-to guy for Memphis in the playoffs. Hollins has driven Gay to improve at the defensive end of the floor this year.

Power Forward

Blake Griffin: Grffin is one of the league’s best young players. He made the All-Star team this season and averaged 20.7 points and 10.9 rebounds per game for the Clippers. He must continue to grow his skill set and develop a reliable jump shot and low post game. He currently relies strictly on his terrific athleticism and explosion. Griffin’s main problem coming into this series is his lack of postseason experience. He will be going up against one of the deepest frontlines in the NBA. It is imperative that he shows up at both ends of the court in this series in order for the Clippers to advance.

Zach Randolph: Randolph comes into this series after an injury riddled regular season where he only played in 27 games. Lionel Hollins decided to use Randolph off the bench instead of inserting him back in the starting lineup. He is one of the best post players in the league and has a knack for scoring at the rim. Look for the Grizzlies to get Randolph touches in the past and give him room to take his defender one-on-one.

DeAndre Jordan: Jordan is a long and athletic big man that the Clippers went to great lengths to re-sign in the offseason. They understood that although he is extremely raw offensively he provides rebounding and shot-blocking for this young team that they desperately needed. He is the team’s best rim protector averaging 2.0 blocks per game. Jordan cannot score via a post touch. He needs to score off interior passes, lobs to the rim and offensive rebounds. He is an aggressive offensive rebounder averaging 3.1 offensive boards per game.

Marc Gasol: Gasol has established himself as one of the top centers in the NBA. This past season he averaged a near double-double for the 2011-12 season with 14.5 points and 9.0 rebounds per game. Gasol is a crafty scorer who can also step out to the high post where he can catch and make the mid-range jumper. In addition Gasol will go into the low post and the Grizzlies will pound the ball inside to him. He leads the team in free throw attempts with 4.9 per game. He attempts 11.4 field goals per game and is shooting 48.0 percent from the field. He also protects the rim for the Grizzlies averaging 1.8 blocks per game.

Los Angeles Clippers Bench

Mo Williams: Williams has played 28.3 minutes off the bench for the Clippers this season averaging 13.2 points per game. He plays with energy and works hard on the defensive end of the floor. Williams is an effective scorer who can shoot the 3 with good proficiency. He attempted 4.6 3 point shots and made 39.0 percent of them.

Nick Young: Young is a scorer who can create his own shot and the Clippers will need production from him in the playoffs. He recently scored 19 points off the bench for the Clippers and it was his best scoring output since the trade that brought him to Los Angeles in mid March. He has had to make an adjustment to his new role, going from scoring 16.6 points with the Wizards to 9.8 points per game and playing only 24.9 minutes.

Kenyon Martin: Martin brings a wealth of playoff experience to the Clippers roster. He has played in 89 postseason games, scoring 14.9 points and 7.6 rebounds in those games. He brings a tremendous effort and a defensive mindset to the court. Martin is a rugged interior player who will be called on in this series to battle with Zach Randolph toe-to-toe. Anything he gives the Clippers offensively is just gravy; he just needs to defend, rebound and attack the offensive glass.

Eric Bledsoe: Bledsoe is a terrific young player who is a high-energy guy for the Clippers. He is an excellent defender who puts tremendous pressure on the ball. He has gone from an inconsistent rookie to someone that has produced all season for the Clippers. Bledsoe gets lost in this extremely deep and talented backcourt.

Reggie Evans: Evans is a hard worker and tenacious rebounder. He is only 6’8” but is willing to mix it up with players much taller and bigger. He may be called upon in this series if the Clipper big men get into foul problems versus the Memphis Grizzlies frontline.

Memphis Grizzlies Bench

Marreese Speights: Although Speights has been placed into the starting lineup due to Randolph’s injury he is truly a backup player. He has been a quality player for the Grizzlies since they acquired him from Philly earlier this season. He could be an X factor in this series with his ability to back up Randolph and Gasol. He gives the Grizzlies protection versus foul problems to their primary post players. Speights made the most of the opportunity, averaging a career best 8.9 points and 6.4 rebounds per game in a carer high 22.5 minutes. He will battle Griffin in the low post and utilize his toughness and fouls to limit his effectiveness.

O.J. Mayo: Mayo is a shooting guard who comes off the bench for the Grizzlies who plays starter minutes. He is the best deep shooter on the team. The Grizzlies will need Mayo to take his game to another level if they want to beat the Clippers. Memphis will need Mayo to find his shooting touch, this past season he shot a career low 41% from the field. Mayo will need to be a shot maker in order to give Gasol and Randolph room to operate in the post.

Lester Hudson: Lester Hudson signed with the Grizzlies on April 20 and prior to that he had played 13 games for the Cleveland Cavaliers and had been very impressive scoring 12.7 points over that time. He is an assertive scorer and the Grizzlies are hoping he can provide instant offense off the bench when called upon in the playoffs.

Dante Cunningham: Cunningham has been a solid reserve who averaged 17.5 minutes off the bench. He is primarily a big-body post man who can play defense and rebound. He is a very limited offensive player.

Quincy Pondexter: Pondexter was a reliable role player off the bench this season. He is an aggressive offensive player who attacks the rim off the dribble. Comes into the game looking to attack the rim but he is not much of a perimeter shooter.

Gilbert Arenas: Battling a torn ligament on his shooting hand. If it heals he may get an opportunity to help this team in the post season

Prediction: Grizzlies in six.

Burning recruiting questions: Notre Dame

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have had a productive past four weeks, landing three defensive tackles and flipping four-star inside linebacker Josh Barajas from Penn State. Throw in a pair of defensive backs, including ESPN 300 cornerback and one-time Michigan pledge Shaun Crawford, and the Irish have filled the majority of needs on defense in 2015.

With that said, there is more for the Fighting Irish to accomplish, and closing out the class is going to be crucial for the future.

Here are five burning recruiting questions for Notre Dame:

The final year of implementation of ISE project in Croatia

During the last year of the ISE project, Croatian Academic and Research Network – CARNet organised many different activities with the main goal of enabling teachers to use ISE technology and stimulate popularisation of science. Those activities were strong educational and expert support to teachers in implementing technology that resulted in great interest (about 4800 people). That interest is also corroborated by the fact that at the end of the ISE project there were 457 schools that took part in the pilot and the project goal was 313 schools. Although the project is completed, CARNet continues to receive letters of interest.

CARNet team is satisfied with the fact that this project in Croatia was recognised as relevant by the schools and, most of all, we are proud to have such a large number of teachers in Croatia that recognise an important role of ICT in STEM!
We highlight some of the most important activities:
• Inspiring days in Croatia 2015 that were held in August and September 2015 and included eight workshops and one webinar. Inspiring days were attended by 191 people.
• The largest virtual visit to CERN in the history of virtual visits was attended by more than 200 participants at the CUC 2015 conference, and by approximately 500 people via live streaming
• The first ISE Massive Open Online Course in Croatia - ‘Teachers inspired with ISE technology and contemporary teaching methods’ was enrolled by 1008 participants in just 5 days. Basic digital badge was acquired by 639 participants and advanced by 275 participants.
• Competition ‘I am ISE Guru’ with the main goal to stimulate teachers to make their own ISE learning scenarios.
• Two live streamings of popular scientific lectures at the event "10 days of astronomy" that were watched by 1300 people.
• The second ISE MOOC – ‘Educational trends and digital tools in the classroom’ that was enrolled by 500 participants. Basic digital badge was acquired by 243 participants and advanced by 73 participants.
• Competition ‘ISE Oscar for scenario, directing and video’ was organised to motivate teachers to use multimedia (video) that demonstrate their implementation of an ISE learning scenario.

Although the ISE project has ended, CARNet will continue to stimulate ICT usage in schools as a means of using the most of what we have today for a better tomorrow.

Past, Present, and Future Time

There are only three points in time, the past, present, and future. This lesson very much is a continuation of the lesson on fear but it also can be unrelated to fear. Too many times people are too caught up in the past or the future. As I usually do in music when I am playing my more difficult music I tend to leave the present and go into the future. Sorry, can't share my time travel methods with Anyways, like 20 seconds or so before I reach a difficult section I start thinking about how hard it is or I rarely play it correctly in rehearsals. I have slipped in the future time at the expense of the present time which usually if not always leads to failure. I know personally whenever I do this I really mess up the part I was thinking about ahead of time. This is also the case with past time. How many times have you really been hard on yourself over something you did and while you were doing that you messed up something you were currently doing. Again, you failed because mentally you removed yourself from present time.

Always be aware of future and past time but never at the expense of the present. This is also common with tests. Maybe you've failed this test before so during the entire test in the back of your mind you are recalling what happened instead of concentrating 100% on the present time. The same could be said of future time. I am going to be taking 2 of my 3 teaching tests tomorrow that I have to pass in order to receive my New York Teacher's Certificate. Is there a lot of pressure to pass these tests, of course. If I go in there thinking of what could happen (living in future time) it will cost me big time in the present time. If I focus on the future possibilities I will most likely not be concentrating on the here and now. Is it good to be aware of those things, of course. Will I be a little nervous going into the tests, you better believe!! I feel being nervous as I mentioned before makes you not get lazy or too passive. It keeps you on your toes and more alert. You just can't let that nervousness turn into fear.

Take a look at your own life and the lives of people around you. Do you or others you are around tend to live in the past or future? If you answer yes, work on trying to live in present time while being aware of the past and future time.

Durga destined to take revenge from Shaurya in Ek Haseena Thi

Durga Thakur, the main lead of the show, will is ready to take revenge for a girl who is not related to her, is good at heart and very rich. She uses his richness and powers on the right cause. She wants to help a girl who is raped by Shaurya Goenka. Durga wants to teach him a lesson. She works for an NGO and does social work, helping women and seeking justice for them. She gets into the depth of their story and helps them doing the needful.

The girl is Payal who has been raped by Shaurya two years ago and is in mental asylum. She is being treated there and remembers Shaurya. She sees his sketch and shouts. Durga comes to meet her and tells her that she will take justice for her. Payal filed a case against Shaurya but as Shaurya is rich and powerful, he won the case and was free of the rape charges.

Payal lost the case and also her respect. Shaurya roams free and is a womanizer. He dates many women and have an affair with them. She uses women and sleeps with them, then he dumps them and forgets them. Shaurya is a spoilt brat. His parents Rajnath and Sakshi Goenka are such that they don’t stop him from doing bad deeds. They spoil him further by supporting him in his wrong moves. They are the elite couple of Kolkata and everyone knows them.

Sakshi is an attention seeker and Rajnath does politics in business to win the deals. They are game players who can do everything to get what they want. Shaurya dates a commissioner’s daughter and sleeps with her. He then moves on and sees Durga. He falls for her and becomes lusty.

Durga meets the Goenka family in the Durga puja function and acts sweet to them not showing them her real revengeful intentions. She dances on a Durga puja song and Shaurya looks at her smiling. Durga sees him and thinks of what he did with Payal and how is Payal now because of him. Durga thinks she will not spare him and before next Durgashtami, she will kill Shaurya or else she will kill herself, she promises this to Durga Maa.

Durga burns her saree to attract Shaurya’s attention. Shaurya saves her and puts pots of water on her. He tells her that he did a favor on her and she should be thankful. She thanks him. He starts flirting with her and she starts ignoring him. Shaurya gets more interest in her seeing that she is avoiding him.

He messages her on Facebook and she rejects his friend request. He gets more curious about her. He bets with his friends that he will date her and she will fall for him very soon. Shaurya gets after Durga and starts knowing more about him. Even Sakshi gets Durga’s info as she is interested to know more about him. Durga throws a grand party and her supportive father Dr. Dayal Thakur invites the Goenkas also.

Shaurya is happy to meet Durga and comes in the party with his family. Durga has a surprise for him. She hires an actor who acts like a journalist and questions Shaurya about the two year old rape case. He calls Shaurya a rapist and makes him angry like hell. Shaurya loses his temper and beats him. Everyone stop him. The Goenkas are embarrassed by all this and instantly leave the party. Durga is all smiles seeing Shaurya’s state. Shaurya thinks after all this happened, Durga will not understand him and will avoid him more knowing he had rape charges on him.

Durga meets him and tells him that she believes him. Shaurya gets happy and they go on a date. Durga sees Payal there and stops Shaurya from seeing her. Payal hears his ringtone and thinks of her rape. She gets afraid and starts screaming. Payal leaves from them. Shaurya shows the city to Durga and she asks him if he has a bet with his friends. Shaurya is shocked. He then tells her that they caught the journalist.

Durga gets tensed and tries to tell the journalist to run away soon. She succeeds in informing him and is thus saved from the Goenkas. Shaurya is trying to charm Durga but she does not get into his charm and leaves. Shaurya thinks why is she making him try too hard. Will Durga be able to take revenge from Shaurya? Keep reading.

Security Meeting Note AMISOM Gains in Degrading Harakat al Shabaab al Mujahideen in Somalia

Meeting in Addis Ababa

Addis Ababa Ethiopia: Military Operations Coordination Committee (MOCC) and the African Union Police Strategic Support Group (PSSG) convened a joint meeting in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

The 16th meeting was chaired by AU Commissioner for Peace Security Ambassador Smail Chergui. In attendance were Chiefs of Defence Staff (CDS) and Chiefs of Police Troop from the contributing countries (Burundi, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda, Sierra Leone).

Somalia Federal Government was also represented as well as Representatives of partner countries and institutions (European Union, Inter-Governmental Authority on Development, United Kingdom, United States of America and United Nations) also participated in the meeting.

The meeting basically revolved on how to enhance AMISOM operations in Somalia.

The recommendations of the committee of experts included the need for strict adherence to the chain of command, increased patrols, force protection as well as UNSOA to increase support package to AMISOM operational needs.

The meeting provided a platform to deliberate on progress in the development of the revised AMISOM Concept of Operations (CONOPs).

Participants noted the tremendous progress made by AMISOM in degrading the Al Shabaab capabilities.

The MOCC/PSSG recognized the brave role played by AMISOM troops and Police Contributing Countries in support of Federal Government of Somalia towards achieving a sustained peaceful process in Somalia.

The MOCC/PSSG also appreciated the support provided to AMISOM by the UN through UNSOA to enhance AMISOM efficiency.

The panelist stressed the need for implementation of the next phase of offensive operations to neutralize the Harakat al Shabaab al Mujahideen (HSM) Movement.

There is need for full participation of the Somali National Army (SNA) and the Somali Police Force (SPF) in the renewed efforts to take control of areas liberated by AMISOM.

"The Penalty of Sin"

World Religion is a list of do's and don'ts that are used by such individuals in order to be found approved of God. If you're Muslim, Catholic, Baptist, Buddhist, etc etc, you all have one thing in common, a law.

The list of do's and don't's varies according to the doctrine of you're denomination, or faith.

Non the less each and every individual who subjects himself or herself to a particular religion is obligated to fulfill the entire list. If it just happen's that you're human, there's not a day that goes by, that you are not guilty of breaking at the very least, one of the laws written, whether it be the the Bible, the Qur'an, or Tripitaka.

Therefore if you've broken one law you're guilty of sin. And the penalty of sin is death, whether you're a Christian, a Buddhist, or Muslim,

However, where there is no law, there is no transgression. Jesus said, " I did not come to destroy the law or the prophets, I came to fulfill it. And what was the fulfillment of the law ? He that sinneth must die.

The only thing the lord is truly guilty of, is tasting death on a cross, to make men free from the judgement of the law.

But never the less, there will be a judgement day, and who will be able to escape from the one that sit's upon the throne.

For the penalty of sin is death, unless of course someone took you're place and paid the ransom in full. And if the one that sit's upon the throne is the very same one , who by his own blood paid in full the penalty of death, when he hung upon the cross and tasted of death, that those who would believe in his name, may be justified, and sanctified by the sacrifice that God made, offering up his only begotten son, that through him we should be made the righteousness of God.

How shall anyone escape the judgement of God, if we neglect such a great of a salvation.
