Well-groomed furniture, fashion-forward colors, and dashing dark wood deliver masculine style that's nothing short of heart-throbbing.
Borrow interior designer Matt Murphy's master bedroom as inspiration for a man's suit, and you'll create a well-constructed garment that merits a spot anywhere from a fashion runway to a boardroom where business deals are struck. His fashionable assemblage of midcentury modern furnishings atop a black-and-white rug patterned with concentric rectangles, plus shots of bold color, show that a self-assured man spends his nights here.
"I have a consistent personal style that rides the fence between traditional and modern," Murphy explains. "I like rooms with classic lines and contemporary forms, but with a level of formality."
Murphy designed the bold, slick rug to fit the long space. Its graphic and architectural motif complements the sharp lines of the modern furniture.

The long-and-narrow proportions of the bedroom suite provided a space that was easily divided into two areas: a sleeping area defined by a four-poster and a sitting area, shown here, anchored by a pair of wheat-colored chaise longues.
A fan of Tommi Parzinger-the well-known designer of furniture, lighting, and porcelain in the 1930s-Murphy punctuated the bedroom with Parzinger pieces, including the low-slung bed as well as the vanity and chair shown above.

To paint or not to paint-that's always the question when extraordinary wood paneling and moldings shape the perimeters of a room. When designer Noel Jeffrey was asked to create this showhouse living room, he chose to utilize the gorgeous woodwork, tempering its appeal with decorative elements that pull in the light.
"In the '80s, it was stylish to add dark colors to dark wood," says Jeffrey. "But now, clients are open to painting wood to lighten a space, or contrasting it with light-colored fabrics and furniture."
Design: Noel Jeffrey, The Jeffrey Design Group, 215 E. 58th St., New York, NY 10022; 212/935-7775, noeljeffrey.com.
An ethereal palette of cream and beige highlights the room's architectural details. At the windows, billowing silk drapery panels edged with amber-colored beads are gathered like a ballgown.
The primary seating arrangement in this living room consists of a silk damask sofa, a Louis XVI chair with gilded frame and chenille upholstery, and matching Art Deco-style armchairs in solid ivory silk arranged around a modern marble-and-iron coffee table from the 1950s.
"In a large room, multiple seating groups are essential," says Jeffrey, "but one must dominate. When all are the same scale, the room can look like a hotel lobby. Use a large seating area with other, intimate groupings."

Libraries are well known for the serious and cerebral atmosphere they create. They are, after all, places where intellect and imagination can be nurtured.
Designer Frank Ponterio wanted this library to look refined and debonair but with a comfortable and laid-back attitude that embraces new technology as well as the timeless magic of print.
"This library exudes a soft masculinity without being stuffy with heavy accessories and staid colors," says Ponterio. "Modern libraries are not always quiet, with electronic devices now adding to the information retrieval process. I showed that if you aren't hung up on design rules, you will be able to create a space that is multifunctional and comfortable, too."
Before furniture was placed, Ponterio bathed the walls of the large room in a creamy ivory color that radiates a pervasive glow. A gray-and-white marble fireplace surround creates a robust presence in the room, serving as an anchor that keeps the luminous space from feeling too expansive. Matching sofas-perfect for curling up with a laptop-are covered in a textural, cream-colored fabric. They are topped by pillows in an edgy combination of deep rust and flannel gray.

A heart-pounding turn of events at the US Open Women's Championship final as Serena Williams is defeated by Naomi Osaka and slams her racket to the ground in an argument with the chair umpire.
It makes me sad that Naomi has to cry and apologised for winning. Naomi did not get the credit she deserved for winning just because Serena can't follow the rules. Stealing the limelight from Naomi she then goes onto argue it's because she's a woman. Owe please, your doing this whilst playing another woman.
No sympathy for her unsporting behaviour.
Eric William, Bloody racist !
Couldn't pull the race card, so she pulled the sexism card to try and get her way, real classy Williams, real classy.
it isn't even sexism, that's what makes me mad. Not as if the ump got the advantage, her opponent Osaka did?????
I HAVE NEVER CHEATED IN MY LIFE I HAVE A DAUGHTER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why is this "shocking?" Serena Williams has been throwing tantrums, threatening, bullying, cheating and breaking rackets since day one! She has always displayed poor sportsmanship! Just sickening she couldn't tolerate defeat and let someone else win!
Calling someome a theif is verbal abuse against Serena. Yet men can cuss the umpire and just get a warning. Stupidity.
I feel so sorry for Naomi, she really didn't deserve to be be booed at, she played an amazing game. Her win was ruined by Serena's childish behavior.
Serena, cheated, lied, abused, used her child to cover the cheating, was sexist, played the victim, was outplayed. Disgraceful all around.


"Kaze Tachinu" or The Wind Is Rising, focuses on the life of Jiro Horikoshi. He designed the famous Zero fighter plane for the defunct Japanese Imperial Army during World War Two.
The internationally acclaimed director said Horikoshi devoted himself to creating the aircraft at the expense of his own health.
When asked about the scarcity of war scenes in the animation, the Academy Award winner said he shed all self-righteous attempts to retell history or inform people what the war was about.
The new film will be released in Japan on July 20th, five years after the box-office hit "Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea."

Reds Manager Danny Wilson says there are some 'hard decisions' to be made over his squad in the coming weeks.
Speaking to the press ahead of his side's clash at Charlton tomorrow, Wilson said, "There are some tough decisions to be made. They might not be popular but we have to make them for the good of the Club.
Saturday's opponents Charlton sit seven points ahead of the Reds in the table as Danny looks to close the gap on the Addicks.
"They're in a very similar position to ourselves and have a lot of injuries," said Danny of Charlton. "It's like a lot of teams down there that seem to not be able to put three or four wins together to get out of trouble.
"Pressure is on the home team. But we'll just relax, go there and play football and see what it brings.
"Just because we're making changes it doesn't mean we have players here who can't cut the mustard, we just need to get the end result right. In key areas at times, we haven't produced.
Danny also confirmed that the Reds will be without winger Dale Jennings who is suffering from a heel injury.

Former New Zealand coach Kevin Fallon has praised the efforts of Puaikura FC in their 4-1 loss to Team Wellington in the first match of Group B of the OFC Champions League in New Caledonia on Saturday (CI Time).
The Cook Islands champions stunned the OFC Champions League runners-up by taking an 18th minute lead and held Wellington out until late in the first half at Stade Yoshida in Kone.
"I thought we kept fighting and they didn't stop, they just kept going," said Puaikura coach Kevin Fallon.
Taking the helm late in their preparations for OFC Champions League, Fallon was relatively pleased with the overall performance of his team.
Despite the comfortable win to Team Wellington it was the group stage debutants who took the early lead. A handball in the box gave away the penalty to Puaikura FC and Andre Estay stepped up to convert.
Puaikura's backline of Ishak Mohammed, Tyrell Barringer-Tahiri, Paul Day and Kimiora Samuela put in a tireless effort to keep their much-fancied opponents from scoring.
The pressure eventually told when an Andy Bevin shot deflected off Samuela past Liam Little with seven minutes left in the first half before Wellington's Nathaniel Hailemariam scored again threjust before the half-time whistle to take a 2-1 lead into the break.
Also setting up a good day for Puaikura FC was local-based player and striker Pekay Edwards who had a number of close calls in front of the goal and in one instance took on a three-man backline alone.
However, luck ran out for Puaikura who could not keep up with the pressure from their New Zealand opponent and conceded two further goals in the second half through Hailemariam and Joel Stevens.
Puaikura FC will face Fiji's Ba FC on Tuesday 27 February at 8:00pm (CI Time) for their second encounter in Group B of the OFC Champions League in Kone, New Caledonia. Ba drew 1-1 with host club Hienghene Sport in their first match on Saturday night.

In Memoriam: Mark Owen Lee
Submitted by Erik Shell on Tuesday, September 3, 2019 - 8:48am
(Written and provided by Ward Briggs)
Lee, Mark Owen (1930-2019)
Fr. M. Owen Lee (as he preferred to be called) was a beloved fixture at the University of Toronto, where he spent nearly 30 years of his life, and a perceptive critic of Latin poetry. He is, however, best remembered by the sophisticated public as a longtime panelist on the Texaco Opera Quiz, where he answered questions with remarkable alacrity (he was often the first to raise his hand to answer) and with a seemingly fathomless depth of knowledge about opera.
Fr. Lee was born in Detroit on May 28, 1930, and was trained in Latin from an early age at Catholic Central High School. After graduation in 1948 he entered St. Michael's College at the University of Toronto, a college founded by the Congregation of St. Basil and affiliated with the Catholic Church. He was greatly influenced by his Latin professor, Donald Oakley Robson (1905-76), who taught at Toronto from 1947 to 1975. In 1951 Lee joined the Congregation and upon receiving both his M.A. in Classics and his Bachelor of Sacred Theology in 1957, he was ordained. In 1960 he became the first person granted a Ph.D. from the University of British Columbia, writing his dissertation on "The Myth of Orpheus and Eurydice in Western Literature." In that same year he began his career teaching in Basilian Catholic universities by returning to St. Michael's as a lecturer in Classics. There he wrote some pieces derived from his dissertation, but also an interesting study, "Illustrative Elisions in Catullus," for TAPA in 1962. His favorite authors in the classroom were Catullus and Horace, whose images and influences he traced out to the fascination of his students and the enlightenment of readers of Arion, CP, and AJP. One article showed that although Horace only quotes Catullus once, he shows in Odes 1.5 and 1.22 a distaste for his predecessor. His work of this period at the University of St. Thomas in Houston, TX (1963-72), culminated in Word, Sound and Image in the Odes of Horace (1969).
The Metropolitan Opera in New York began radio broadcasts of its performances in 1931. Nearly ten years later, the 11-year-old M. Owen Lee heard a broadcast of Tannhäuser and became a lifelong fan of opera, and of Richard Wagner in particular. To fill time during the two performance intervals, the sponsor, Texaco, offered commentary on the opera by a learned authority during the first interval and during the second interval the "Opera Quiz," in which a panel of three experts answered questions sent in by listeners. Fr. Lee had begun writing commentary on operas for Opera News and other outlets in the late 1960s and beginning in 1974 he provided some commentaries for broadcast as well. The response to his commentary on Parsifal ("Grand Illusions") was so strong that he began to look for points of comparison between epic and opera.
In 1983 he was contacted by the Metropolitan Opera to appear on its Opera Quiz. Perhaps fittingly for a Virgil scholar, he was asked also to give a commentary on Les Troyens, an all-star production (Placido Domingo as Aeneas and Jessye Norman as Cassandra) that opened the Met's centenary season. Fr. Lee became one of the most popular and recognizable panelists on the Quiz and continued to appear, traveling from Toronto to New York at his own expense, until March 2006. Ultimately he wrote more pages on opera than he did on classics, including the 1999 Larkin-Stuart Lectures at Trinity College, Toronto, on Wagner plus audio books on operas such as Die Zauberflöte (1990) and Orfeo ed Euridice (2006).
At St. Thomas, he began to study the work of Carl Jung (1875-1961) which shaped his approach to Virgil (and Wagner). Lee's devotion to Jung's theories released the personal in him and each of his succeeding books begins and ends on autobiographical notes. After a stint at Loyola University in Chicago (1972-5), he returned to his alma mater and published Fathers and Sons in Vergil's Aeneid (1979), whose centerpiece is the meeting of Aeneas and Anchises in Book 6. The father represents Jung's Wise Old Man, a view to which Lee would return. He described Death and Rebirth in Virgil's Arcadia (1989) as "not a book for scholars [but] the reader who wants both an introduction to the Eclogues and an interpretation of them." After general chapters on each poem, he concludes the book with a personal account of his response to the poems. His approach to the Georgics is much the same: in Virgil as Orpheus: A Study of the Georgics (1996) he takes the reader through each book and concludes with Jungian analysis: Virgil, like Orpheus, is the master of music; Eurydice is the anima, Proteus the Wise Old Man, the dismemberment of Orpheus a Jungian rebirth.
Lee was not yet done with Virgil. He was honored to give the Robson Lectures, endowed by his late teacher, an opportunity for reflection on his own influences (Robson and Gertrude Smith) and career as well as a challenge to set down the conclusions of a lifetime of study of ancient poetry and opera. Lee showed how four epic works displayed Jungian archetypes: The number of women portrayed in the Odyssey marks it as an archetype of the anima, the female spirit in the world. He returned to the meeting of Anchises and Aeneas, "the heart of the poem," in his eyes, sparking memories of the death of Lee's father, another Wise Old Man. Parsifal combines both the anima (Kundry), the Wise Old Man (Gurnemanz), and the Shadow (Amfortas). Goethe's Faust begins with a dream in which Lee is the Homunculus of Faust II leading Faust and Mephistopheles to the Classical Walpurgisnacht, with its horrors from ancient mythology. Lee interprets his dream as referring to his time as a student under Robson. The Jungian archetypes are again labelled: Faust is the Wise Old Man, Mephistopheles is the Shadow, and Gretchen and Helen are the anima. He concludes that all heroes are flawed at the start, then they contend with the world, discover their true purpose and serve as role models for their civilizations.
This was Fr. Lee's farewell to writing on classical literature. Over the next two decades he published ten books, all on opera (plus one on film). The title, Wagner and the Wonder of Art (2007), embodies the passionate quest Fr. Lee himself pursued ever since that Texaco broadcast 66 years earlier.
Fr. Lee died on July 25, 2019, in Scarborough, Ontario. For further information and a full bibliography, see https://dbcs.rutgers.edu/all-scholars/9313-lee-mark-owen

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) invites applications for the 2020 round of the Public Scholars program, which supports the creation of well-researched nonfiction books in the humanities written for the broad public. The program welcomes projects in all areas of the humanities, regardless of geographic or chronological focus. The resulting books might present a narrative history, tell the stories of important individuals, analyze significant texts, provide a synthesis of ideas, revive interest in a neglected subject, or examine the latest thinking on a topic. Books supported by this program must be written in a readily accessible style, must clearly explain specialized terms and concepts, and must frame their topics to have wide appeal. They should also be carefully researched and authoritative, making appropriate use of primary and/or secondary sources and showing appropriate familiarity with relevant existing publications or scholarship. Applications to write books directed primarily to professional scholars are not suitable.

The Ancient Leadership collection within SAGE Business Cases explores leadership in Classical history, mythology, philosophy, and material culture in a way that is engaging and useful for business students and instructors at the undergraduate and graduate level. This project is a chance for those of us who work in the ancient world to experiment with a very mainstream method of leadership pedagogy and hopefully to teach a wider audience about the central importance of the humanities for leadership study and training. We expect that each of the case studies will illustrate the ways in which the humanities makes important–if not unique–contributions to the study of leadership and the training of leaders:

The Theory and Practice of Cosmic Ascent: Comparative and Interdisciplinary Approaches
Trinity College, Dublin
Conference Sponsors: Trinity College Department of Classics, and The Centre for the Study of the Platonic Tradition, Trinity College, Dublin
Conference Organisers: Professor John Dillon (Emeritus, Trinity College, Dublin) and Nicholas Banner (Trinity College, Dublin)
Date: 19-20 June, 2020
Submission Deadline: 13 March, 2020
Confirmation Date: 01 April, 2020
One of the most striking tropes in the history of western thought is the account of cosmic ascent; we find narratives of humans ascending to the stars and beyond in a vast array of sources from among the earliest written accounts of western literature, through antiquity, and up to (at least) the High Middle Ages. From the Hellenistic period onward, Mediterranean religions and philosophies (understood broadly) looked increasingly to a model of human ascent as a primary locus for spiritual achievement; however, the ways in which such ascent was conceptualized vary enormously from tradition to tradition (we might compare e.g. Jewish apocalyptic texts with the ascent-accounts of Platonist philosophers, or Hermetic with Sethian ascent-accounts), and even from thinker to thinker (we might contrast e.g. Plutarch with Plotinus or St Paul with Clement of Alexandria).
Sapiens Ubique Civis VIII – Szeged 2020
PhD Student and Young Scholar Conference on Classics and the Reception of Antiquity

Our second interview in the Women in Classics series is with Shelley Haley, Edward North Chair of Classics and Professor of Africana Studies at Hamilton College. This is the second of a two-part interview with Prof. Haley, which picks up at the point when she decided to apply to graduate school to study Classics.
CC: How did you decide to apply to graduate school?
This was a very turbulent time in American history. I was fed up with the United States of America, absolutely fed up. I remember the conversations we used to have about the women's movement. This was back in the dark ages. There were three or four white women on my floor in college having a deep discussion, wringing their hands and saying, "But how, how, how are we going to have a family and a career? How?" In my head I was just frustrated. My mother, my grandmother, her mother before her, all of them always had to work, and always had family. It can be done. I think that was my first introduction to black feminism, and to the line that divides it from white feminism. I had had enough.

Are your values being met in your current job?
Do you see any value conflict that might affect your career decisions?
Answering these questions may be difficult because it involves sorting out your small whims from your strong preferences; your rational thinking from your emotional needs.
Whether we realize it or not, we live our life through our value system. Our sense of harmony and meaning is when our values and our work come together. Career satisfaction comes from knowing who we are and what we want.

Inspirefest launches diversity ticket bursary with Silicon Valley Bank
Delegates at Inspirefest 2018. Image: Conor McCabe Photography
With the support of Silicon Valley Bank, 25 lucky applicants from underrepresented groups in STEM will have the chance to attend the sci-tech event of the year.
In a bid to ensure that underrepresented researchers and entrepreneurs in the STEM and creative fields get access to the brightest minds, Inspirefest has launched a special diversity bursary with Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) for 25 lucky applicants this year.
The Inspirefest Diversity Tickets programme, which is sponsored by Silicon Valley Bank, is aimed at directly supporting people from traditionally underrepresented groups in STEM or the creative sectors, particularly young entrepreneurs and researchers starting out.
"Ensuring we have adequate representation in the tech start-up space is a commitment we at Silicon Valley Bank share with Inspirefest," said Claire Lee, head of early-stage banking at SVB. "We are pleased to offer this bursary to STEM enthusiasts and budding entrepreneurs that otherwise might not get access to the wonderful community that Inspirefest convenes."
Inspirefest founder Ann O'Dea added: "We don't claim to be perfect, but each year we try to learn more and make Inspirefest ever more inclusive.
"We believe that the world of STEM should be accessible to everyone, and we're really grateful to Silicon Valley Bank, and in particular to Claire Lee, for backing this initiative in 2019."
Inspirefest has also added other new features in 2019, such as a nursing room for those bringing a baby and, with the help of AsIAm.ie, a quiet room for autistic attendees who wish to get away from the bustle. The Bord Gáis Energy Theatre is also fully accessible, and the event intends to have ISL (Irish Sign Language) interpreters on the main stage on both days. Watch out for more announcements on the event's social accounts.
How do I apply for a Diversity Ticket?
In order to make the selection process as fair as possible, Inspirefest organisers are asking for applicants to send a short 100-word email with 'SVB Diversity Ticket Bursary' in the subject line to info@inspirefest.com by Monday 13 May 2019, explaining why they deserve to be considered for a full-access ticket to Inspirefest on 16 and 17 May in Dublin.
A proven interest in the STEM and creative fields is a plus, the organisers said, as they believe these are the people who will benefit the most from the world-class line-up, which includes biotechnologist and Theranos whistleblower Erika Cheung; VP of global health at Johnson & Johnson, Cat Oyler; senior VP and GM of security analytics and research at Symantec, Stephen Trilling; tech entrepreneur Anil Dash; author of Inferior and Superior, Angela Saini; and the 'Jane Bond of innovation', Nilofer Merchant.
Inspirefest is Silicon Republic's international event celebrating the point where science, technology and the arts collide. Tickets for Inspirefest 2019 are available now.
Updated, 6.50pm, 8 May 2019: This article was updated in order to extend the deadline for applications.
Updated, 12.16pm, 10 May 2019: This article was updated to reflect changes to the Inspirefest speaker line-up.

The prospect of the Big Match draws in a street urchin with a wonderful talent for kicking a tin can, a maker of jolly good pies, a dim but beautiful young woman, who might just turn out to be the greatest fashion model there has ever been, and the mysterious Mr Nutt (and no one knows anything much about Mr Nutt, not even Mr Nutt, which worries him, too. As the match approaches, four lives are entangled and changed for ever.
Terry Pratchett brings to life another lineup of spectacular characters who inhabit a fascinating story. Well worth the read!
A typically Pratchett perspective on something blends the mundane (watching foot-the-ball is not for me) into something mythical. Stephen Briggs' narration is, as always, spot on.
This book was so good I kept listening to it again and again.
Wow, what an amazing adventure.
What a genius Terry Pratcket is. I feel as though I was living in the words he created.
It was so wonderful and funny and exactly what you need on a long journey! Thoroughly satisfying story and very well read!
Pratchetts latest book fails to the reach truly dizzying heights he has been capable of.
perhaps even surpasses - the written work.
Have you read "Asterix and the Falling Sky"? Uderzo's drawings of Asterix and his friends are some of the best, but the story reaches a new low point. I am not sure if this is really the case with "Unseen Academicals" but it is really not one of Pratchett's best. There are individual episodes of brilliance in the book. You are also left with the feeling that this is supposed to be (partly al least) THE parody on the Harry Potter-series. Yet, it felt if the storyline lacked some of the Pratchett brilliance I have come to know and love.
Stephen Briggs, almost like always, does a superb job in the reading of the book. I think he brings the game of foot-the-ball sufficiently to life. If I have to choose between reading the book or listening to his interpretation, I would prefer his interpretative reading by far.
Like "Asterix and the Falling Sky" this book is definitely a must for Discworld die-hard fans. You are also guaranteed a chuckle or two, if you are not so familiar with the Discworld, but I have read and listened to better from Prachett's pen. Maybe, the Unseen University and its staff have become a just too familiar place and set of characters in the Discworld.
I am terribly sorry, but not his best work.
I love nearly every book Terry Pratchett have written, but I believe that part of the reasen that I don't like it as much as the others is that it is abut fotbal, ore soccer as americans calles it.
Nott is a goblin, a rather big goblin, how likes fotbal. He is from a smal place in Ubervald, and Margalotha have taken him in as here word. Vetenari have goten him a job in the university.
The story is stil full of wonders, I still love the smaler details, and Normal life and the wonders of magic.
Stephen Brigg is a good reader and he is one of the tow people I like reading Discworld stories for me.
Would you listen to Unseen Academicals again? Why?
I don't typically re-read books, and I have never re-listened to an audiobook. That said it was very much an entertaining listen.
Just the way that Terry bends normal life into Ankmorpork life with a twist to make it larger and more important than it appears in our world, but no less important actually.
Have you listened to any of Stephen Briggs's other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes and he does a great job. Could maybe do a bit more with the character's voice, but it does not detract from the entertainment content in my opinion.
There are always a few laugh out loud moments with Terry Pratchett, and this was no exception.
Keep up the great work. Audiobooks are a great way you get more out of a long and not always interesting drive.
Overall this book gets a 5 star rating from me.
This is Pratchett up to his usual standard - imaginative, funny, cynical and really enjoyable. Tony Robinson reads Pratchett really well (although I think I slightly prefer Nigel Planer, who read some of the earlier audiobooks). I listen to my audio books whilst pedalling an exercise bike and using a rowing machine and Unseen Academicals makes a boring-but-good-for-you activity fun. :-) The wizards are learning to play football under the gudiance of one of the university's candle dribblers and we get an insight into the workings of the university's kitchens. Lord Vetinari also features. Unfortunately, no witches, but you can't have everything. Well worth the money.
Story: The last Disc World Novel builds mainly on known characters introducing an Orc (Mr. Nutt), Mr Sugarbean, Jewels and Trevor Likely. The story is mainly about the mystery of football and its fans intermingled with the subject of fashion hype, the innovation "micro mail", and rivalry between UU and the Dean's new university.
Over all: the novel ranges between the early ones and high lights like the reaper man and offers the known and praised wit of TP together with a fairly arresting story.
I had fun listening and can recommend it to the fullest - already waiting for the next disc world novel.
I am unable to listen to more than 10 minutes of Unseen academicals due to the fact that to my ears it sounds like Stephen Briggs is just reading a list. This is my first and possibly last venture into audiobooks as I've been so disappointed by this experience, I've nothing personal against the man, and maybe I just have a very different rhythm of speech in my head than is read out loud, or maybe audiobooks are just not for me?
"I can't be doing with fantasy," said my dear 70 year old neighbour, shuddering with well-bred distaste at my suggestion that he'd enjoy Pratchett. But once I had nailed his ear to the MP3 he was soon as full of praise and awe as I am. And saw what is there under the delightful and funny surface.
Terry Pratchett just gets better and better. This novel is on a par with Night Watch and Going Postal. I can't praise them enough for their un-po-faced sharing of wisdom and optimism.
Terry Pratchett is as observant as ever and Briggs narrates the discworld so well that it would be a crime to listen to an abridged version of a discworld novel. Ridcully and the other wizards are so vividly brought to life that the whole book plays across the back of your eyes like a movie.I now have all the Briggs/Pratchett edititions and hope like crazy that more are on the way.
Over 'ere son; on me 'ead.
Whatever Terry Pratchett chooses to write about he is always able to comment humurously on the way people are. Most of us can identify people like these characters. It is always a joy to read more about Ankh Morpork folk. Lord Vetinari, the Librarian, the Watch and CMOT Dibbler, to mention a few, always make me smile and admire Terry Pratchett's creation.
This is a brilliant version of a book by the master, and even better that it is read by Stephen Briggs not Tony Robinson as it says on the image. Had me in stitches.
The wizards could show Fabio's boys a thing or two on the pitch, that's for sure. The beautiful game is taken to the heights of absurdity by wonderful Mr Pratchett in this brilliantly funny account of Unseen University's version of the World Cup final. I love everything about the Discworld and I loved this book. Buy it, but try not to laugh out loud too much if you listen to it on a train. People give you funny looks and tend to sit far away.
I really love Terry Pratchett and feel confident in saying I have read / listened to almost all of his Diskworld books. This is one of my favourites.
It focuses around the Unseen University, and the staff of the Unseen University.
I enjoy Discworld books and this is one of my favourite a great mix of humour, sport romance and something to make you think.


What is the difference between management and leadership? It is a question that has been asked more than once and also answered in numerous ways. More than ever, digital transformation requires a clear answer to this in order to prepare the next generation of leaders.
Key to the problem is understanding the difference between management and leadership, says John Kotter, Konosuke Matsushita professor of leadership at Harvard University. He fears that too often, employers use the terms synonymously.
Finding the right managers is an important task for leadership because management helps us to do well what we already know, notably in the context of large, complex organizations – integral things like planning, staffing, resource allocation, budgeting, measurement, optimization. Without management we can expect chaos.
Leadership doesn't have to come from visionary CEOs like Steve Jobs or Jeff Bezos. It can come from anyone within your credit union who is passionate and knowledgeable enough to want to make a difference and who can inspire others to follow a vision towards creating something new. Leadership will always be associated with change, exploring new opportunities that reveal the future, a central force in the digital transformation journey. Lack of leadership will lead to failure.
Credit unions need both management and leadership to survive and prosper. Management ensures structure, stability and reliability. Leadership is at the core of change management, exploring new opportunities, heading into new directions. As credit unions mature, the tendency is to focus more on management, stifling leadership. In the current environment of exponential change, this is a fundamental threat.
"Leadership is unlocking people's potential to become better." – Bill Bradley.

We ran this competition to celebrate the launch of our new look "Create Your Own" website and so we thought we'd take the opportunity to tell you about some of the new features too.
BasketsGalore were the first gift basket or hamper company to launch an independent website which facilitated customers to create their own gift basket, back in 2010. Others had tried to combine this functionally within their main website, but we found this approach to be cluttered and difficult to use when combined with pre-designed gift baskets.
Although we had been designing customised baskets for our customers year before that, this was the first time customers could actually pick the items in real time and order the gift basket online. Prior to that we would have created the basket via email communication, with the customer sending us a list of the type of items they would like to include, details on the recipient (age, gender, interests etc) & their budget. We would then create the basket, photograph it and list all the items to email back to the customer. This as you can imagine took quite a bit of extra time, and with international time differences it could sometimes take a day or 2 to finalise the order. Whereas when the customer has all the items in front of them they can create and submit an order in real time for next day delivery.
The site has a glossy new look to tie it in with our main basketsgalore.co.uk website, which was redesigned last year. We have included the 1, 2, 3 steps to really make it clear what it is we do on this site and how you can go about creating your own gift basket. We also include image links to our "Special Request" form (for items not listed - favourite perfume etc), a video of a gift basket being created and a link to our Pinterest Board that features photographs of previous designs as inspiration.
The layout of the website has been updated to make it even easier for you to navigate around. You will notice the products are now displayed as 3 across the page rather than in a long list, to avoid constant scrolling.
The categories were previously in a long list down the side and across the top and were food focused. We have kept both a side and top navigation but included a drop down menu so as we can group the items and make the non-food categories more prominent.
The shopping cart has greatly improved in functionality with an easier step by step layout & helpful notices during the checkout process. Also the cart now displays the total items you have selected to include in your gift basket after you add each item. It is easy to add extra items or remove something if you change your mind, and the contents can be seen at any time by hoovering over the total number of items in your gift basket at the top right hand side of the screen.
As well as food and drink you can opt to include pamper items (creams, candles, massage oil etc), boys toys (remote control helicpoters, construction kits etc), toys for children (teddies, jigsaws, colouring books etc) and you can also choose from a range of balloons, gift cards, magazines, mugs, plaques and photo albums etc.
We hope you approve of the changes and please comment below with anything you would like to see added.

Virtual Reality Is Empowering Women: Here Is How
Posted On 12th December 2018 16th December 2018 By SurajPanigrahi
"What does it feel like to be hungry on the streets of LA?
Nonny de la Peña,the Founder of Emblematic Group created a Virtual Reality Experience called Hunger in Los Angeles that tried to foster empathy by immersing people in the experience of what it feels like to be hungry on the streets of LA. The film made it to the Sundance Festival in 2012 where many viewers tried to touch the non-existent characters of the 7-minute flick. Some of them even broke down into tears at the end of the film. The VR documentary fostered empathy among several viewers who donated generously to the 'Food Banks' in Los Angeles.
The much-hyped global #MeToo movement has achieved little that is quantifiable by statistics than mere social media attention. Although several women have come forward to address their woes, hardly anyone discussed about the women who don't use a smartphone, let alone social media.
The role of women and the problems faced by them varies across societies and culture. Sometimes, religious obligations add to their woes. While a Caucasian lady in New York may be struggling to get an equal paycheck in the corporate world, a farm laborer in Odisha maybe struggling to educate her girl against the wishes of her family members. However, giving a vent to the problems is the first step of solving a problem. That's when Virtual Reality (VR) steps in. VR is the 'new voice' for underrepresented women.
Here is an insight to the 5 instances where VR played a major role in championing the cause of women.
1. The Sun Ladies
Courtesy: The Sun Ladies
"Honor and dignity can often become a very strong force against the enemy."
In August 2014, ISIS soldiers killed all the men of the Yazidi community in Sinjar and took the women and girls as sex slaves. More than 3000 women and girls had to undergo a horrifying experience of trauma and violence. Amidst the chaos, a group of courageous ladies vowed to fight against ISIS and liberate their people.
'The Sun Ladies' is a 7-minute immersive documentary that uses VR technology to explore the personal stories of the women fighting the ISIS in Iraq. The fighting scenes were recreated using the VR painting tool Quill.
Quill is a VR animation and illustration tool. Quill can support large extensions of drawings and it can handle heavier folders. The user experience with Quill has been up to the mark as the traditional CG animators could easily blend in with the new technology.
'The Sun Ladies' wouldn't have garnered the same emotion had it been screened on the regular flat screen. When the viewers in the Sundance Film Festival, Utah watched the movie, most of them wrote a letter of support for the women at the line of fight.
2. Notes To My Father
A Scene from Notes To My Father
'Notes to My Father', directed by independent filmmaker Jayisha Patel, is a short documentary that explores the story of a human-trafficking survivor. Ramadevi, a resident of Andhra Pradesh, is the survivor of a harrowing experience. When viewed through a headset, the perspective is chilling.
The Train Scene and 'Male Gaze' from the movie
One of the most harrowing scenes positions the viewer inside a train carriage full of men. In virtual reality, it is a vivid and uncomfortable depiction of what it is like to be the subject of the male gaze. Thus, VR is a new platform to amplify women's voices, stories, and narratives. 'Notes to My Father' explores the love, pain, and reconciliation between a father and his trafficked daughter. Again virtual reality brings in empathy among the people.
3. Virtual Police Station In India
Awareness Program 'Get Ready To Report' by Amnesty International in Bengaluru in 2015 using Google cardboard and Android app to know the legal procedures using VR experience. (Courtesy: Deccan Herald)
In a report published in 2016, it was stated that 106 women in India are raped every day. With several cases of rapes being unreported especially in rural India and over 50% of rape cases reported in Delhi alone found to be fake, the exact number can't be predicted for sure. However, it is quite certain that women even in posh cities of India aren't 'Safe'. In fact, 'cyberbullying' and 'internet shaming' is on the rise in the last few years. Recently, Facebook came up with an interesting finding that only 55 % of women users in India put up profile pictures for fear of those being misused.

While only 30% women confide in someone to tell about experiencing sexual harassment, only 1% of them report it to the police. According to the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative (CHRI), "Women often don't report an instance of rape for the fear of being ill-treated by the police, social stigma and ignorance of the legal procedure"
Today, VR is trying its best to wipe away the deep-rooted fears in the minds of women about reporting cases of sexual harassment. CHRI in cooperation with Rajasthan Police has come up with a multilingual 'Virtual Police Station' which allows citizens to know about the various laws concerning their grievances. One can simulate the environment of a real-world police station using a 360-degree video technology. For example, one can use a Google Cardboard and its corresponding mobile app to have the VR experience of a police station and police functioning like knowing the steps to file an FIR while maintaining anonymity. This tool currently doesn't enable the victims to file an FIR using its Virtual Reality platform but this is going to be the next target.
CHRI describes 'Virtual Police Station' as an 'empowerment tool for the public'. The VR tool has been funded by the European Union as a part of its Civil Society and Police Reform in South Asia. Earlier, Amnesty International also came up with a VR-based awareness program in Bengaluru, India in 2015. In the future, a Virtual Platform may allow victims to file an FIR and describe their harrowing circumstances without visiting the police station.
4. VR To Improve Pregnancy Rate In Women

Several research groups have previously studied the effect of psychological stress and anxiety in In-vitro Fertilization (IVF). However, researchers have contradicted each other time and again regarding the correlation of stress and pregnancy rate. (You can read report 1 and report 2 which contradict each other to verify this for yourself).
Although it's inconclusive yet, infertile couples have self-reported in some studies regarding experiencing anxiety and depression. A pilot study presented at the Euroanaesthesia Congress in Copenhagen, Denmark shows that women undergoing VR therapeutic sessions prior to sedation for IVF treatment to become pregnant can reduce their anxiety. Since anxiety is still believed (inconclusively) to affect pregnancy rates, these VR-based therapies can improve upon the pregnancy rates.
The pilot study was carried out at Catholic University of Louvain, Brussels, Belgium in which 100 women between 18 and 42 years participated. Two different VR therapeutic strategies were implemented. 56 women underwent a therapeutic VR session in which they experienced walking underwater cut off from all ambient noise. The remaining 44 underwent VR-based hypnosis. VR-based hypnosis slowed down the respiratory rates and calmed down the patients. The anxiety scores were found to decrease in both the types of therapeutic strategies. The average anxiety scores reportedly fell from 40 to 23.
5. Mothers Of Atlas
Temme (Tech+Femme) Media's first virtual reality film Mothers of the Atlas, a project with Qualcomm Wireless Reach and Trice Imaging, premiered at the Social Good Summit during the United Nations General Assembly in New York in March 2018. The purpose of the film was to showcase how mobile technology can reduce maternal mortality in remote areas, such as Morocco, where it was produced.
Sybil Steel, Founder of Temme Media
Sybil Steele launched Temme Media as an immersive creative studio dedicated to informing and inspiring women's journeys through virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and other emerging technologies. Temme Media is a platform to make sure girls and women have a strong voice in immersive media.
Women empowerment is a major solution to some of the extant challenges in developing countries like 'Food Security' and 'Better Health and Sanitation'. This is primarily because most households are looked after by women. Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) have lately changed the art of storytelling. Unlike the traditional modes of entertainment, the viewer is active and immerses into the environment shown in his VR headset. The latest technological innovations have brought affordable VR headsets like HTC Vive and Oculus Rift into the market. Although VR is not mainstream and currently at its infancy, it has got tremendous potential and we can expect it to solve a few more socio-economic problems. In fact, Virtual Reality is an 'Empathy Machine' that can help women voice their plight.

Startups Accelerating Health, Transport Breakthroughs
The first class of Australia's inaugural GovTech accelerator has developed projects that will help identify health risks, better support hospital patients and improve safety and information on our public transport network.
Startups Sky Ledge, WeGuide and Envision Systems are the inaugural graduates of CivVic Lab's accelerator three-month program, with their initiatives unveiled by Special Minister of State Gavin Jennings at a recent showcase.
All three have either signed or are in the final stages of negotiations to sign with government agencies to secure capital of up to $150,000 each to progress the projects.
Sky Ledge has been working with St Vincent's Hospital to create an automatic system that identifies potential risk factors for patients.
WeGuide is helping Western Health to make healthcare data collection easier by developing a platform that engages patients with more effective communication before, during and after treatment.
Envision Systems is working with the Department of Transport to build sensors to assess crowding, queue length and wait times at train stations and bus stops. This will ultimately assist planners and public transport operators to plan new stations and improve safety and customer information.
CivVic Labs, led by LaunchVic in partnership with the Andrews Labor Government's Public Sector Innovation Fund, was established to provide startups with access to government procurement opportunities.
Round two of CivVic Labs is now under way with 12 startups working on new challenges from WorkSafe, the Department of Premier and Cabinet, the Department of Transport and a joint challenge from the Department of Education and Training and Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions.

NCH Prism Video File Converter Plus 3.01 latest software to convert AVI MP4 WMV MOV MPEG FLV and other video file formats. The application offers the ability to process video between popular video formats, including but not limited to MP4, AVI, WMV, MPEG, MOV or FLV. The program is stable and multi-format video converter, easy to use, and also has a possibility to convert several videos at the same time. Prism Video File Converter allows you to adjust the output format, codec, resolution, image and set any speed frames per second (FPS). It also supports SD video quality, as well as the video in HD quality. Recent updates include FLV encoding and preview conversion output.
It offers the ability to bypass copy protections, an integrated video editing interface and a comprehensive list of optimization profiles. Nevertheless, it offers enough utility to make it the best DVD ripper software.
The application converts your videos to a format supported by mobile devices such as PSP, MP4 players, mobile phones, Xbox, PlayStation 3 and other devices from iRiver. It offers a preview of the original file before conversion, as well as the material after processing. Integrates with Express Burn Plus program, which supports video recording on DVD.
Prism Video Converter will not rip commercial discs. Unfortunately, you cannot break copy protections such as CSS and region codes. It's only limited to homemade and unencrypted discs. So, if your want to make digital copies of DVD library of Hollywood movies, you should try a different application.
The most compelling aspect of this application is how easy it is to use. Its minimalist interface leaves little room for guesswork or a learning curve. In order to rip a DVD, all you need to do is click "Add DVD," load the disc you want to rip, select the video format you wish to convert to and click "Convert." This process is as simple as the best DVD rippers we reviewed, and is contained in an interface that is no more than a few hundred pixels high.
This application convers the basics when it comes to available file formats. All the usual suspects like MP4, MOV, ASI and MKV are available. If you dig into the program a bit, you'll find that you can adjust technical details like codecs, bitrate and all the rest of it. The end result of a DVD rip is as good as any other ripper we reviewed. There's nothing to complain about here.

I'll admit it. I'm getting a little anxious about this next race (on April 7th). Even though I've formally written off my chances of qualifying for the UCI World Cycling Tour Finals this year, I can't shake the temptation to try still, and therefore put pressure on myself in the process.
According to last year's results of the 'Masters' course (179 km and 2500 m), I will need to average between 33 kph and 34 kph to finish in the top 25% of my age group (The magic % for qualifying for the World Finals). In 2011 I actually did this race, albeit the shorter version, and had an average speed of 27.33 kph. A 6 to 7 kph increase in speed is pretty significant, especially considering this year's race is 70 km longer than the one I did two years ago. However, if you check out the above link you'll see a pretty meaty me in the photos. April 2011 was the very beginning of the 'journey' I've been spewing to you all about for well over two years now and I am at least 5 kg lighter than v.11 Gerry, with two full seasons of coaching from Rob in my legs.
It still doesn't mean I can go that fast, I know, but we all need our little fantasies, don't we.

And I've already paid the entrance fee, too.
Go for it Slim but don't get too excited and leave it all in the first five kms.
I appreciate the advice, but there's little fear of that!
Do not over think this..you know better than that…you been putting in the hours training and on April 7th you will be measured… top 25% or not, you will have a new base on which to continue to train for a successful Haute. Get to the line ready and ride your race…I assure you, you will qualify. If there is any way to mark the top 5 or so riders in your category, do so..beat who you need to beat..I have complete confidence in you..anyone who can spend 190 mins.on a indoor trainer knows how to suffer! (or needs a lobotomy).
Dont let go of the wheel.. Hes hurting too..
That's a good mantra, but might be too long for the red zone. I'll give it a shot, though, but knowing me I'll be adding '…isn't he?' at the end.
I doubt there's a way to mark the top guys, other than try and be at the front of whatever pen I'm in. They always sneak up. I like your optimism, but even though I have been known to stay on the trainer too long, I know there are those even more insane than me (I know one myself). And yes, this is not actually the objective of the year anymore anyway, so I'll try and take it all in perspective. Thanks for the advice.
Of course I would never steal, but I do have a good imagination. Thanks!
You got this. Plan ahead, ride your way, be aware of others in your group, stay on wheels as much as possible. And sleep well the night before.
Sleep is not usually a problem for me, but all the others things could be. Thanks, Aaron.
Go for it Gerry! Best of luck.

By Business Wire On Oct 21, 2021
SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SirionLabs, the leading provider of AI-powered smarter contracting technology, today announced several new milestones and developments demonstrating the strong momentum that the company continues to experience in the enterprise contract lifecycle management (CLM) market. SirionLabs continued its hypergrowth over the past twelve months, nearly doubling revenue and adding a record number of new customer logos. The firm also announced the expansion of its global presence with three new offices in Germany, France, and Australia. This expansion accompanies the continued growth of its workforce across all functions including technology, implementation services, sales & marketing, pre-sales, and customer success teams.
SirionLabs' smarter contracting platform – SirionOne – offers the most powerful contract AI in the market, acknowledged by analysts and customers for its unmatched depth, speed, and accuracy.

Through this holistic approach, SirionOne drives business acceleration while improving risk mitigation and maximizing business value for clients.
"The new generation of AI powered CLM promises to transform the contracting experience for enterprises, but clients will need to cut through the hype and look for real impact.

and Laura Mersinger and Joe VanLoy as sales Vice Presidents.

SirionLabs is also expanding its team of presales and solution consulting experts further strengthening its technical expertise in designing and delivering effective contract management solutions to meet the needs of its enterprise customers.
Further, SirionLabs recently announced the appointment of Thomas Hall, formerly of KPMG, as its Chief Legal Officer. An accomplished lawyer and executive with more than 30 years of professional experience, Hall will drive enhancement of the company's legal department to support revenue growth, customer experience, and expansion of SirionLabs' global presence.
Rapid Expansion of Customer Base and Partner Ecosystem
SirionOne is today the preferred CLM for industry-leading organizations to streamline contract management by connecting all enterprise teams on a unified platform through real-time contract intelligence and seamless collaboration across the contracting lifecycle. It's trusted by 200+ industry-leading organizations including Vodafone, The Bank of New York Mellon, Unilever, and Chemours, among others. In 2021, SirionLabs' client roster has rapidly expanded with the addition of prestigious new logos including Alstom, Health Care Service Corporation (HCSC), Deutsche Post DHL, Aéroports de Montréal, and Indosat Ooredoo, among others.
SirionLabs has also strengthened its global network of alliances and technology partnerships with leading firms such as AWS, SAP, Tealbook, Fluxym, Syke, and CATS CM.
"Demand for SirionLabs' smarter contracting technology continues to surge as enterprises look for ways to become more agile while strengthening financial and operational resilience," said Rajeev Kumar, Chief Revenue Officer at SirionLabs. "With the strategic role that CLM plays today within the modern enterprise, companies are looking to shift and upgrade from the sub-optimal digital contract repositories to the next generation of smarter contracting. SirionLabs has a dominant position in the enterprise CLM market due to its combination of end-to-end functionality, integrated AI, and focus on ease-of-use and seamless collaboration."
