Hi-Res Versions of Previously-Released THE HUNGER GAMES Images
by Matt Goldberg August 4, 2011
Last week, Entertainment Weekly released the first images of Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth in The Hunger Games. Lionsgate has now sent over hi-res versions of those images. Looking at them again, I can't help but wonder why Lionsgate chose these as their first images, especially the one of Hutcherson as Peeta. Yes, the images will appeal to fans of the book, but reading the reactions to the images last week, there seemed to be a collective shrug and it's not tough to see why. If you don't know these characters, then you just see Hutcherson holding a loaf of bread and Hemsworth chatting with Jennifer Lawrence. I understand that Lionsgate doesn't want to give anything away too early, but fans of the book are going to see this movie no matter what. It's everyone else that needs to be convinced.
Hit the jump to check out the hi-res images. The Hunger Games opens March 23, 2012.
Here's the official synopsis for The Hunger Games:
Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. Part twisted entertainment, part government intimidation tactic, the Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which "Tributes" must fight with one another until one survivor remains.
Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. If she's ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

Ok so a bit of a misleading title, but you do need to be a bloody superhero when it comes to feeding time in our house!
Mind manipulation Professor X style, Speed enthusiast The Flash, Super human grip Spiderman… I'm slowly honing my skills!
Me: What do you want for tea kiddies?
Me: Sausage and mash, spaghetti bolognaise, pizza….
Me: Fine I'll decide for you.
Me: Sausage and mash and gravy it is!
Dinner is cooked on the table and children are sat ready.
R: I don't want it.
I tend to hide in the kitchen at this point. I don't eat with them. No normal person sits down to eat their tea at 5pm! The rare occasion I do sit with them usually results in me having half chewed food rammed at me with a look of distain that I actually gave them something nutritious and void of bright orange bread crumbs (this is the girl child, the boy has hollow legs, eats his dinner, hers and anything else going and tends to only stick his nose up at pasta unless he's being particularly awkward that day). Either that or I feel like I'm having dying from indigestion!
So yes I'm hiding (avoiding) them.
R: Mummy can I have more drink?
Get cup, make drink, deliver, zip back to hiding.
T; Mummy? Can I have more drink?
Back I zip delivering more drink and then back to hiding.
T: Mummy I've finished… Mummy Can I have pudding now…. Mummy what's for pudding? …….. Mummy?!?!?!!?
I feel like the bloody Flash (if the Flash had a day job as a fecking take away deliver man!) zipping in and out of the kitchen.
While this mad form of mummy exercise continues, the girl is proceeding to impersonate Thor and his hammer by bashing her spoon repeatedly into an innocent piece of sausage.
Me: It's not going to disappear no matter how flat you try and make it!
R: I don't like it… it's cold, I'm not hungry!
Me: It's only bloody cold cos you've spent the last 30 mins sticking your fingers in it and waving gravy up the wall! Eat it or no pudding!
I already know this. I don't need reminding. He's told me very minute since his plate was empty.
I am at this point silently screaming inside – no wait, that's not silent I'm actually omitting sound right now.
I also usually give in by now and remove the mashed slop! Pudding is usually over in 5 seconds flat. It's amazing how quickly fromage frais can be consumed, when two bits of sausage and a spoonful of mash takes half a sodding hour! Also have you ever noticed how said fromage frais turns to vomit smelling concrete as soon as it hits clothing? I've chiselled off a fair amount from school jumpers in my time.
So all (kind of) fed, faces cleaned, children upstairs playing, all is well and time to relax…..
I'd love to say 'Bog of daughter' but with reluctance I shove a cereal bar in her direction and hope for the best!

Астроно́мія у Старода́вньому Кита́ї — астрономічні знання, спостереження й погляди стародавніх китайців.

Астрономія в Китаї має дуже довгу історію та давні традиції. На думку британського вченого Джозефа Нідема (Joseph Needham), китайці до арабів були найбільш наполегливими та точними спостерігачами небесних явищ у світі. Різні китайські автори твердять, що історія астрономії в країні сягає періоду раніше другого тисячоліття до нашої ери. Нідерландський же астроном А. Паннекук пише, що такі твердження ґрунтуються здебільшого на легендах і пізніших домислах, оскільки багато відомостей з давніх часів або просто не дійшло до нас, або було втрачено, або було спотворено. Сам же А. Паннекук початок дійсної історії китайської астрономії відносить до першого тисячоліття до н. е.

Спочатку основним хронометром для китайців слугував місячний календар. З 350 року до н. е. китайцям було відомо, що тривалість року становить понад 365 днів.

Китайські астрономи

 Су Сун (苏颂, 1020 — 19 червня 1101) — китайський вчений-енциклопедист, астроном, державний діяч часів династії Сун.
 Чжан Хен (*78 — †139) — видатний китайський вчений, астроном, географ, картограф, поет, державний службовець часів династії Рання Хань.

Відомі факти

 У 1054 році китайські астрономи першими письмово зафіксували спалах від вибуху наднової зорі SN 1054, залишки якої утворили Крабоподібну туманність.

Thanks to £80,000 of OIF money an old, disused building in West Green Road has been transformed into a thriving pub and pizza place.
Serving a range of craft beers and sourdough pizzas it's a labour of love from owners John Lewis, his brother, David, and local resident Oz Earl.
We met with John to find out how their tasty treats are going down in Tottenham.
"On one hand we're a specialist in craft beer. Tottenham has some of the biggest, best known craft breweries in London and 50% of our taps are Tottenham beers. And on the other hand we're making quality pizzas which is a craft in itself. So True Craft is a kind of play on, 'true to the craft'".
"Well, the first thing has to be the breweries. As you understand more about beer you realise that a crucial component is freshness. Having the amount of breweries we have on our doorstep ensures we get the freshest beer so the beer we sell is better than the rest. And this area, in particular, has been crying out for a decent drinking establishment.
How much of a factor was the Opportunity Investment Fund?
Have you recommended the OIF to other businesses?
"Myself and my brother have always wanted to work together. His background is Sodo (the sourdough pizza chain) which does make the best pizzas in London. So he's our head chef and I'm managing the cellar and Oz, my friend from university, has been in charge of the building. He's a Tottenham resident and he was the one who decided Tottenham was the right place for us.
And we've transformed this old pub which used to be The West Green Tavern. It was closed for some time and we're proud to have turned a derelict building into something of use for the community. The décor has a quite natural, industrial feel and we used features of the building that were already there such as: cleaning up the original pillars, reconditioning the Victorian wooden floors and exposing the brick walls and cleaning them up.
And so far it has been a great success which has exceeded all my expectations. The first weekend we opened we did incredible sales and it's just carried on from there. We're doing so well that we currently have ten staff which is a lot more than I expected this early on.
True Craft is open seven days a week, from noon to 11pm (Sundays to Wednesdays) and noon to midnight (Thursdays to Saturdays).

Het Adam Smithplein, Amsterdam is een plein in de wijk Riekerpolder in Amsterdam Nieuw-West.

Geschiedenis en ligging
Het gebied diende eeuwenlang tot agrarisch gebied, in de 19e eeuw toebehorend aan de Gemeente Sloten. Die werd in 1921 geannexeerd door de Gemeente Amsterdam, die terreinen nodig had voor woningbouw. De Riekerpolder werd daartoe maar langzaam opgevuld en de strook waarop het plein werd aangelegd was tot diep in de 20e eeuw een ruig stadsparkje aan de rand van de stad. Op 21 juni 2000 kreeg het haar naam, een vernoeming naar econoom Adam Smith. Omliggende straten en plein werden ook vernoemd naar economen, in dit geval Thomas Malthus en Joseph Schumpeter. Een vreemde eend in de bijt is hier het Christoffel Plantijnpad, maar dat is een uitloper van een pad dat er al sinds 1955 ligt.

Het plein is gesitueerd tussen het John M. Keynesplein en het Siegerpark, een privébrug van PwC maakt een verbinding tussen plein en park.

Het zuideinde van het plein heeft in de vorm van de Nieuwe Haagsebrug onder Rijksweg 4 een verbinding met de Oude Haagseweg en park De Oeverlanden.

Er is geen (plaats voor) kunst in de openbare ruimte. Er staat een bushalte voor spitsbus 267.

Gebouwen
Aan het totaal versteende plein staan kantoorgebouwen, het Adam Smith Building aan de oostzijde en een bijzonder groot gebouw met (hoofd)kantoor van PwC Nederland, doch dat gebouw bekend onder de naam Westgate II heeft als adres Thomas R. Malthusstraat 1-65. Het Adam Smithplein heeft slechts vier huisnummers (2, 4, 6, 8), kleine gebouwtjes op het terrein van PwC.

Q: How to handle feedback from background threads if the user uses the back button? I have the following problem:
I have an Activity where a user can start a web search showing a new activity to show a progress bar until the results are shown. Now the user can either wait for the results or maybe think about the search parameters, hit the back button and triggering a new search. The search is running in an Async Task and therefor still running if the user hits back.
At the moment the thread finishes it calls some methods on the old activity causing the activity to show a dialog.
This causes the system to crash because the dialog tries to show itself with a reference to an activity that is not longer present on the screen.
How can I achieve a dialog that is only shown if the activity is still active?

A: Call isFinishing() on your activity.

Alternative Titles: Platyhelminthes, platyhelminth
Flatworm, also called platyhelminth, any of the phylum Platyhelminthes, a group of soft-bodied, usually much flattened invertebrates. A number of flatworm species are free-living, but about 80 percent of all flatworms are parasitic—i.e., living on or in another organism and securing nourishment from it. They are bilaterally symmetrical (i.e., the right and left sides are similar) and lack specialized respiratory, skeletal, and circulatory systems; no body cavity (coelom) is present. The body is not segmented; spongy connective tissue (mesenchyme) constitutes the so-called parenchyma and fills the space between organs. Flatworms are generally hermaphroditic—functional reproductive organs of both sexes occurring in one individual. Like other advanced multicellular animals, they possess three embryonic layers—endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm—and have a head region that contains concentrated sense organs and nervous tissue (brain). Most evidence, however, indicates that flatworms are very primitive compared with other invertebrates (such as the arthropods and annelids). Some modern evidence suggests that at least some flatworm species may be secondarily simplified from more complex ancestors.
The phylum consists of four classes: Trematoda (flukes), Cestoda (tapeworms), Turbellaria (planarians), and Monogenea. It should be noted that some authorities consider Monogenea, which contains the order Aspidogastrea, to be a subclass within the class Trematoda. Members of all classes except Turbellaria are parasitic during all or part of the life cycle. Most turbellarians are exclusively free-living forms. More than 20,000 flatworm species have been described.
Although some platyhelminths (flatworms) are free-living and nondestructive, many other species (particularly the flukes and tapeworms) parasitize humans, domestic animals, or both. In Europe, Australia, and North and South America, tapeworm infestations of humans have been greatly reduced as a consequence of routine meat inspection. But where sanitation is poor and meat eaten undercooked, the incidence of tapeworm infestations is high. In the Baltic countries much of the population is infested with the broad tapeworm (Diphyllobothrium latum); in parts of the southern United States a small proportion of the population may be infested with the dwarf tapeworm (Hymenolepis nana). In Europe and the United States the beef tapeworm (Taenia saginata) is common because of the habit of eating undercooked steaks or other beef products.
Parasites in immature stages (larvae) can cause serious damage to the host. A larval stage of the gid parasite of sheep (Multiceps multiceps) usually lodges in the sheep brain. Fluid-filled hydatid cysts (i.e., sacs containing many cells capable of developing into new individuals) of Echinococcus may occur almost anywhere in the body of sheep. In humans, hydatids of the liver, brain, or lung are often fatal. Infestation occurs only where people live in close association with dogs that have access to infested sheep for food.
Thirty-six or more fluke species have been reported as parasitic in humans. Endemic (local) centres of infection occur in virtually all countries, but widespread infections occur in the Far East, Africa, and tropical America. Many species are ingested as cysts, called metacercariae, in uncooked food—e.g., the lung fluke Paragonimus westermani found in crayfish and crabs, the intestinal flukes Heterophyes heterophyes and Metagonimus yokogawai and the liver fluke Opisthorchis sinensis in fish, and the intestinal fluke Fasciolopsis buski on plants. Free-swimming larvae (called cercariae) of blood flukes penetrate the human skin directly. In humans these parasites and others listed below cause much misery and death. Control of certain flukes through the eradication of their mollusk hosts has been attempted but without much success.
Schistosomiasis (bilharziasis) is a major human disease caused by three species of the genus Schistosoma, known collectively as blood flukes. Africa and western Asia (e.g., Iran, Iraq) are endemic centres for S. haematobium; S. mansoni also is found in these areas, as well as in the West Indies and South America. In the Far East, S. japonicum is the important blood fluke.
Among domestic animals, the sheep liver fluke (Fasciola hepatica) may cause debilitating and fatal epidemics (liver rot) in sheep. These animals become infected by eating metacercariae encysted on grass. Monogenea are common pests on fish in hatcheries and home aquariums.
Most turbellarians are less than five millimetres (0.2 inch) long, and many are microscopic in size. The largest of this class are the planarians, which may reach 0.5 metre (about 20 inches) in length. Trematodes are mostly between about one and 10 millimetres (0.04 to 0.4 inch) long; members of some species, however, may grow to several centimetres. The smallest cestodes are about one millimetre (0.04 inch) long, but members of a few species exceed 15 metres (50 feet) in length. The Monogenea range in length from 0.5 to 30 millimetres (0.02 to 1.2 inches). Aspidogastrea are from a few millimetres to 100 millimetres in length.
In general, free-living flatworms (the turbellarians) can occur wherever there is moisture. Except for the temnocephalids, flatworms are cosmopolitan in distribution. They occur in both fresh water and salt water and occasionally in moist terrestrial habitats, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. The temnocephalids, which are parasitic on freshwater crustaceans, occur primarily in Central and South America, Madagascar, New Zealand, Australia, and islands of the South Pacific.
Some flatworm species occupy a very wide range of habitats. One of the most cosmopolitan and most tolerant of different ecological conditions is the turbellarian Gyratrix hermaphroditus, which occurs in fresh water at elevations from sea level to 2,000 metres (6,500 feet) as well as in saltwater pools. Adult forms of parasitic flatworms are confined almost entirely to specific vertebrate hosts; the larval forms, however, occur in vertebrates and in invertebrates, especially in mollusks, arthropods (e.g., crabs), and annelids (e.g., marine polychaetes). They are cosmopolitan in distribution, but their occurrence is closely related to that of the intermediate host or hosts.

A&E Networks approached us with a brief for their new Ancient Aliens series on Blaze. The brief was to create a cinematic promo featuring an alien head inside the Nefertiti bust, located in the museum. Budget and brief meant we had to create a full CGI sequence with no live action plates. Night time mood and lighting were key to the success of this spot. This along with Darren Cullis' masterful character modelling and texturing using substance, paint brought the alien to life and created a chilling cinematic spot.
Thanks to lead creative Sergey Saprygin for his patience and trusting us with this project.

True to tradition, we look forward to spending time with industry colleagues, clients and investors when the 30th edition of the world's leading property market opens the doors next week.
Next week, the 30th MIPIM conference welcomes 26,000 participants under the theme "Engaging the Future". This raises the question of how future generations will live and work in an increasingly populated world.
In this anniversary year, the opening speech will be held at 2 P.M on 12 March in Cannes by former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. The former General Secretary has been at the forefront of putting sustainable development on the agenda and in his speech he will share his views on the new global challenges of climate change, economic turmoil and increased pressure on energy and water.
From RED, a strong delegation of eight colleagues, representing Capital Markets and office rental, will participate. If you take part in MIPIM and want to meet us at the conference, you are very welcome to contact us directly – either before or during MIPIM.
See you in Cannes 12-15 March!


From 23-26 October, Battersea will be transformed into a mini alpine resort; featuring the biggest real snow jump ever made in the UK! The music line up is equally as massive with headliners including Cypress Hill, The Enemy and The Automatic.
Fancy being there? You're in luck.
All you need to do is turn up in your ski gear and you will receive a ticket to a day of your choice!
This was meant to happen at Trafalgar Sq. THIS HAS CHANGED!!
The meeting place will be on the south side of the Thames at the back of the Tate Modern, by the Millennium (Wobbly) Bridge at 12pm this Sunday 19th October.
The best tube stations to reach the site are either via the District and Circle Lines from Mansion House or Blackfriars to the north or via London Bridge (Northern Line City Branch and Jubilee Lines) from the south. Note that St Paul's Station to the north is shut this weekend. Each station is around 10 minutes walk away from the Bridge.
On top of free tickets there will be extra goodies from the likes of LG, Relentless and Armada given away for extra effort and creativity.
So dig out your board, dust off your goggles, don your jacket and pants and get down to London!


Photo-journalism and the concept of editorial photography has been there for a long time. While the trend of outdoor photography continued to rise for a long time now, another genre slowly started making its way through..Lifestyle photography and documentary photography.
So what exactly does that mean? See below for some clarity.
Let's just say, you are looking at those perfectly posed images with perfect smiles and shining teeth one day and you don't remember the story behind those images - because they all look the same! Were there happy tears before your session? Sad tears? What about his silly faces? Don't we want to capture those images that tell us the complete picture? The true story and the memory that you really want to remember? What actually happened when you look at all the silliness in the photographs, does that remind you of how their childhood actually was?
And that's exactly what documentary is all about. It is about capturing your 'A day in your life', doing what you generally do. It could be something like your family enjoys playing board games. Or swimming every Wednesday is your thing! Anything you do as a family together. That's the main intent. Documenting your daily life as is - raw and unplugged.
Lifestyle sessions are a little 'directed', to try and bring out genuine smiles on your smiles! Let's think of chocolates, teddy bears, giggles, tickles or anything that I know will bring about a smile on your faces. These will be a little rehearsed (talked through, put in that place) posed to appear unposed.
The BIG question - "But, my house is not too clean or pretty for pictures"
That's the beauty of lifestyle photography - turning the ordinary into extra-ordinary. You will be surprised to know how beautiful your home and life can be when viewed through a photographer's eye. The artistic way approach of capturing those perfectly imperfect moments that you will treasure for many years to come; is what it is all about.
As a photographer, I promised myself to stay motivated, be creative and come up with ways to make this journey of documenting memories a fun experience. If there are certain 'images' you are trying to recreate, your vision, or a goal you have for your session - please let me know. We will try our best to recreate that as much as we can. While I admire some clients coming up with certain pinterest poses and although those are fantastic, my goal is to photograph the authentic 'YOU'.


If you read this post (and thank you, as always, friends who do!), you'll notice two things, one of which I should say up front, to be fair. First, this is the inaugural post to showcase the blog's new look (thanks so much to Dave for all the time, help and encouragement!)! It's in-progress, and fingers crossed will continue to be ever-evolving, but hopefully the format is improved, more streamlined and accessible, though I think I need to enlarge the font size. Two, this is one of those rambling self-indulgent yet informational posts that doesn't include recipes; thus, my point about the fairness, since this is essentially meant to be a recipe blog. Before you stop reading though, I want to briefly explain myself. Even though much of my blog time this week has been devoted to de-cluttering, I've still been experimenting. That said, my food writing juices are feeling temporarily slowed, kind of like (but oh so different from) the latest oil "fix", Static Kill. Why? I've been feeling distressingly guilty over a less-than-eco-friendly indulgence for which I gladly put the blinders up on a daily basis. Not Power Bars this time. Bananas.
We finally watched Food, Inc. this weekend (it's amazing, enlightening, and not nearly as scarily revolting as I anticipated). While the film didn't even touch upon my favorite go-to tropical fruit, it did cause me to reflect intensely on our diet and grocery budget bearing in mind consequences from health to impact; now, chest freezer and locavore guides in hand, we're committed to exploring the most economical and eco-friendly compromises we can with regard to eating even cleaner and more local (posts to come). That means, at some point, I have got to set some guidelines with myself regarding bananas, and it may as well be now.
In Barbara Kingsolver's captivating journalistic narrative, Animal Vegetable Miracle, a few exceptions were made in her family's quest to spend a year on a rural farm eating as locally as possible. Each family member was allowed one item outside of their stipulated radius. They chose spices, coffee, olive oil. For me, it would probably be bananas. I put them in everything, smoothies to cookies, and even now I can already tell you that one of the next couple of posts at least will include bananas in the recipe. But while bananas are healthy, their wonderful sweet creaminess being loaded with potassium, vitamin B6, vitamin C, and fiber; and frugal, costing about $.50 per pound or less in your typical grocery store, they are far from eco-friendly. Funny, I like my bananas on the greenish side, rather than overly ripe. Now, my conscience won't stop prickling for the lack of green, when it comes to the carbon footprint, at least.
1) Always go organic. That's still adhering to the frugal part of my psyche at roughly $.69 per pound, and if I'm purchasing fewer of them, I won't feel the difference. It's also much more sustainable, as organic bananas are much kinder to the earth than conventional bananas, exposed to scads of harmful chemicals. According to food expert and author Jeff Cox, conventional growers fertilize their soil with 1.5 tons per acre of a fertilizer called 8:10:8, referring to the ratio of chemical nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. The lack of organic soil in these plantations encourages the proliferation of diseases, which are in turn dealt with using toxic pesticides. There's much more to it than that, but that's my condensed version. To read more, check out this link: http://www.ecomii.com/food/fruits/banana.
3) For those recipes where bananas add moisture or added texture or substance, consider seasonal alternatives, like pumpkin, pear, apple, or as I just discovered, cantaloupe puree.

Q: Yahoo maps api, version 3.8 doesn't display custom image? I used the following code to display custom marker on Yahoo Maps :

These have the same background as for gooseberries, losing favour after WW 2 after becoming popular as Vitamin C supplement.
Still used in a well known cordial. Popular in jams but very tart when fresh . Fruits on 1 year old wood which comes from the base of the plant, or as branches on older wood or as short fruiting spurs, depending on the variety. One year old wood is distinguished by straw-coloured bark which darkens to brown in later years. The plant has a pungent aroma reminiscent of tom cats. Flowers form on trusses each bearing from 5 - 15 flowers. Fruit ripen in December - January.
The black currant requires winter chilling to facilitate flower bud development and growth, and good yields can only be achieved in cold districts. Black currants will tolerate a range of soils provided they do not water log or dry out. An optimum pH of 6 -6.5 should be established before planting, as the shallow, fibrous root system does not lend itself to deep working for lime incorporation after plants are established.
Plants are established at approximately 1.0 m spacing within rows.
The principle of pruning black currants is to encourage new shoots to arise from the ground.
Old wood may gradually be removed from three-year-old and older plants by pruning a quarter of the old wood each year, plus removing broken, weak, diseased or mis-directed branches each winter. Do not shorten new wood.
The most serious pest of black currants is the Currant borer moth, Synanthedon tipuliformis. The larvae of the currant borer tunnel in plant stems, and their presence is indicated by prominent holes which lead to the pith of the stem. There are no satisfactory control methods presently available other than rigorous pruning of afflicted stems. Leaf Spot caused by the fungus Septoria ribis, is occasionally seen, and is easily recognised by the presence of brown spots with fawn centre. This condition can be sufficiently severe to cause premature leaf drop. Rake leaves and burn.
A poor cropping year can be attributed to grey mould fungus causing flowers or immature fruit to abort. There is no known treatment.
My red and black currants were given to me by an old friend who had to give up her garden in a nearby town and so I have no idea of the varieties. Mike and I spent time in winter digging them up from around an old tank having no idea which was black or red. We planted them and when they fruited the next summer I then marked each bush only to discover that I only had to rub the stem. The blackcurrant smelt like rancid ribena!

Authenticity, when you experience the presence of the Lord there is no substitute. Let our churches once again reflect our great God who is active and moving in our lives daily. He reaches into our being and transforms us and then resides in us. Let us stop thinking we need to earn his love and learn to receive his love that surpasses all knowledge. Then let us reflect that love to others instead of hate, hypocrisy, judgement and guilt which are all works of the flesh not of the spirit. Jesus said "They shall know you are my disciples by your love". We are his body in the earth what is the world seeing in us?
This is only one side to the question for it is complex and multi-faceted, it is just part of my perception.

Salvation Army kettle collections off 22 percent
Columbia Daily Tribune
Donations to the annual Salvation Army Christmas campaign are down 22 percent from this time last year and almost 45 percent short of the goal needed to sustain the charitable organization's Columbia operations.
Through Tuesday, the campaign had raised $230,000, which is $51,000 less than received through the same date in 2018, Lori Benson of the organization said. The goal for this year is $408,000. Donations raised through mail appeals and through kettle contributions outside retailers are both down, she said.
"We don't have enough volunteers," Benson said.
Of the 7,800 hours the Salvation Army had hoped to have a volunteer or staff person collecting money in the iconic red kettles, more than 800 hours had no one available, she said.
"When you have an empty kettle, nobody is going to put money in it," she said.
The Christmas campaign provides about one-third of the Salvation Army's annual budget in Columbia, Benson said.
Donations can be mailed to The Salvation Army, 1108 W Ash Street, Columbia, MO 65203 or be made online at www.rocktheredkettlecomo.org.
The campaign continues through Jan. 15.

Financials: Lumia is growing and Microsoft doing just fine for now
Chris Umiastowski
This week the two biggest components of the Windows Phone ecosystem reported financial results. Microsoft and Nokia both printed decent numbers.
I won't spend much time on Microsoft. It was a fairly boring quarter. The Redmond giant came in with results that were in line with analyst results. They've now sold a grand total of 60 million Windows 8 licenses, but this includes licenses sold to Dell and other manufacturers. So it's hard to pin down exactly how many boxes consumers are actually buying with the latest and greatest Windows OS.
In the land of mobile, Microsoft won't say how many Surface tablets they've sold. I can't say I blame them. If they revealed numbers they'd just be compared to iPad and Samsung Galaxy Tab sales. Why would Microsoft want to give people more reason to print negative headlines?
The bottom line, to WIndows Phone people, is that Microsoft is holding its own. They posted small growth in a declining PC market. They're well positioned to hang onto the enterprise market. They're cash rich and cash flow positive. They can afford to push like hell on Windows Phone. They have to. They need it to succeed.
Nokia results were more interesting. As those of you who follow the story closely will remember, Nokia has been losing money for a while now. They've been busy restructuring the business around Windows Phone (Lumia brand) and the S40-powered Asha brand.
So the financial markets were surprised to see Nokia actually post a profitable quarter yesterday. Not only profitable, but respectable. Operating margin in the devices and services division was 7.2%, and Nokia shipped 4.4 million Lumia phones in the quarter. That's up from 2.9 million in the prior quarter.
Nokia's stock performance: 6 months
Not too shabby, Nokia. Not bad at all.
Nokia actually sold 6.6 million smartphones with an average selling price of 186 EUR (about $250). The vast majority of Nokia's device volume is still outside of the smartphone market. They still sell a lot of dumb phones. Almost 80 million of the last quarter, to be specific. They sell for an average price of 31 EUR, or $42. That's a lot of cheap phones.
My big worry on Nokia has been the imminent decline of these dumb phones. It's hard to compete with a $42 phone, but on the really low end, Android hardware is closing in. Even in the most emerging markets around the world, people will save to upgrade to a full smartphone operating system in order to get all of the benefits they bring. I don't think Nokia can compete here.
But Nokia's dumb phone sales have been shrinking. The more they shrink, the less future risk they represent. And Lumia sales have been increasing. Obviously Lumia phones have better margins too. That's good for Nokia.
Microsoft acknowledges that the Windows Phone store still has holes. They're working to fill them. Android and iOS don't have these holes. BlackBerry 10 certainly may still have holes. So it's a big fight between Microsoft and RIM to solidify that 3rd place spot in the smartphone platform market. Yes, RIM has that spot for now. But they earned the spot on the old BlackBerry OS, and they will have to keep it with BlackBerry 10. In the same way, Microsoft will have to displace them with Windows Phone.
As far as the stocks: If Nokia can get its Lumia volume up towards 10-12 million per quarter, I think people (including me) will stop talking about the risk of declining dumb phone sales. They'll have created a sustainable position with Windows Phone, and they'll be nicely profitable. The stock likely keeps rising if that happens.
MSFT stock performance: 6 months
Microsoft? I'm less excited. Even if Surface sales pick up and other vendors so a reasonable job of selling Windows 8 tablet hardware, I think Apple is going to steal away a lot of market share as the PC market sees cannibalization from tablets. It's not so much a knock against Microsoft as it is a result of old-world (desktop OS) market shares. Microsoft won that war, and if they don't win the #1 spot in mobile, they lose share. End of story.

Still canceled
We take a look at Microsoft's canceled Andromeda OS project
Ever wondered what Microsoft's canceled version of Windows for the Surface Duo was going to be like? Well wonder no more, as we've got a very first hands-on look at a pre-release build from mid-2018 running on a Lumia 950. We've already shown you what Andromeda OS looked like in recreated mockups, so now it's time to see the real thing running on video.

Q: Shell script runs when using the command: ./script, but not the command: script, where PATH=.:'usr/bin':etc I'm running Zsh, with my current directory in my path, but the script doesn't run when used without ./
Read these statements executed in my terminal to understand the context (the » is my shell prompt character):
» ls
Makefile node_modules  package.json  README.md  src test  tst
» echo $PATH
.:[all_my_other_directories]
» cat test
echo "test";
nodeunit tst/
» ./test
test
OK: 2 assertions (1ms)
» test
» which test
./test

Notice that on the which test points to the right spot, but test doesn't run it.
I know that putting my local directory in front of my path is a bad idea, but I've changed the path to having . at the end and it doesn't change anything.
I would greatly appreciate any help!

A: The keyword test is reserved because it is actually a shell builtin. To compound the confusion, there is also a shell command also called test.
Use a different name instead =)

A: @sampson-chen is completely right. One addition: to check what exactly you will run use
type test

, it will give you
test is a shell builtin

and thus resolve the problem. Don't use which, it always looks for a command. type is equivalent to whence -v thus you can use the former instead.

Tony Parker could miss Olympics because of wife's pregnancy
PARIS (AP) San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker could miss the Olympics because of the expected birth of his second son.
Parker told French radio station RMC that his wife is due at the end of July, shortly after France's Olympic qualifying tournament from July 4-10. The Olympic basketball tournament in Rio de Janeiro will be held from Aug. 6-21.
Parker says he has yet to decide whether his wife's pregnancy will force him to cancel his commitments with the national team.
Parker says ''this is big news. I will need to talk with the France team. And negotiate with my wife, too. The schedule is very, very difficult.''
French federation president Jean-Pierre Siutat and technical director Patrick Beesley both say they were unaware of Parker's situation.

1. Acceptance & Entire Agreement. PERI Formwork Systems, Inc. ("PERI") is a material supplier of goods and not a subcontractor of the customer (the "Customer"). This agreement ("Agreement") constitutes a binding contract for the purchase of the materials identified in the accompanying proposal ("Material") and is subject to the terms and conditions herein when accepted either by PERI's acknowledgement, commencement of shipment or other performance, or acceptance of payment. This Agreement (which term includes information on the proposal, these terms and conditions, and any plans, specifications, and other documents to the extent referenced in the proposal or otherwise specified by PERI in writing) shall be the entire and exclusive agreement between the parties hereto unless otherwise agreed to by PERI in writing. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and accompanying proposal and any other invoice or other document in connection with this transaction, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern but only to the extent of any such conflict or inconsistency.
2. Material Exclusions. The attached proposal setting out the prices for Material only includes the items or materials specifically listed thereon. Any safety or other mechanism that is not already built in to the Material but offered for sale or lease separately by PERI or by third parties is the responsibility of the Customer. Excluded items or materials will only be shipped upon request subject to availability and to the terms of this Agreement, including paragraph 6.
3. Payment Terms. Unless otherwise stated, Customer shall make payment on each invoice within thirty (30) days of the date of the same, except that Customer will be offered any cash and prompt payment discounts offered by PERI. Should an invoice bear a date prior to the date the Material reflected therein is received by Customer, the time during which any discount for payment is allowed shall not begin to run until the date the Material is received by Customer. Delinquent accounts are subject to a one and one-half percent (1½%) per month finance charge. Customer shall be liable for any additional expenses incurred by PERI as a result of collection efforts, including but not limited to attorneys' fees. PERI shall, in its sole discretion, suspend shipments of Material hereunder or pursuant to any other agreement between PERI and Customer in the event of Customer's failure to pay on a timely basis. Payments hereunder are sent to a lockbox or handled by administrative personnel who cannot bind PERI so any notation on a check or payment such as "paid in full", "final payment" or other language attempting to convey an accord and satisfaction of the debt hereunder shall not be binding on PERI regardless of the negotiation of the check or payment unless a separate agreement or release is executed by authorized PERI personnel.
4. Quotation Estimates /Additional Material /Change Orders. Unless otherwise expressly provided in writing, the quantities and prices for the Material are estimates and based upon information available at the time of the Agreement. Actual product layouts and field requirements will dictate the actual quantities of Material shipped and may result in billings that are higher or lower than estimated. PERI and Customer also may from time to time agree to the sale or lease of additional Material pursuant to this Agreement. The parties shall endeavor to provide a written change order; however, the parties agree that where additional Material is requested by Customer and PERI provides the same accordingly, Customer's acceptance of the delivery of additional Material is sufficient to bind Customer to pay invoices for the same in the absence of a formal change order, and unless otherwise agreed in writing, the cost of such additional Material shall be based on the list value of the Material delivered, purchase discounts/or pricing model, as set forth in this Agreement and accompanying proposal for the project.
5. Freight. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, freight is F.O.B. PERI's Warehouse or applicable shipping point and Customer is liable for the costs of all freight. PERI may assist in the procurement of trucking for the delivery or return of the Material but will invoice Customer accordingly for all costs. PERI shall not be liable for loss or damage occurring in transit after the carrier takes possession of the Material for shipment. Claims for shortages or damages to shipments thereafter shall be made against carrier by Customer. Shipping dates are estimated. Under no circumstance will PERI be liable for any loss, damage or other inconvenience of any kind whatsoever, monetary or otherwise, resulting from the lack of performance of a third party shipper or common carrier, including but not limited to damage or loss resulting from loading or unloading the Material from the truck at the jobsite or damage during delivery. All common carriers are agents of Customer.
6. Lead Time. PERI requires two week's lead-time from the date of the full execution of this Agreement and receipt of all necessary information to commence drawing services (if applicable) and Customer's prompt approval of any PERI drawings before delivery of any Material. If any Material has to be obtained from a PERI yard/location outside of a project region, the lead time may increase to three weeks. For any Material that has to be obtained from outside of the continental United States, the lead time shall be subject to availability and receipt of the Material by PERI. The lead time for Preassembled Material and Custom Material (as defined herein) will be separately negotiated and agreed upon by PERI in writing.
7. Delivery of Material. Material will be shipped in a good working condition. A delivery ticket identifying the description and quantity of the Material will accompany each shipment. A Customer representative must sign each delivery ticket; but a failure to sign a delivery ticket shall not excuse Customer's obligations to pay for Material delivered unless Customer provides a notice to PERI in writing objecting to any non-conforming Material or to the quantity or quality of the Material delivered within forty eight (48) hours of the delivery and arrangements are made for the return of any rejected or non-conforming Material. Customer's failure to provide written notice shall constitute a waiver of any and all claims, directly or indirectly, related to the delivery of non-conforming or rejected Material and it shall be conclusively presumed that Customer has fully inspected the Material, the Customer deems the Material satisfactory and acceptable in all respects, and the Material is in good condition and conforming in quantity, quality and description to this Agreement.
8. Delivery Dates. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, any delivery date(s) offered are estimated delivery date(s), which will be subject to acceptance by Customer. If Customer fails to accept delivery within five (5) business days of the estimated or agreed delivery dates, PERI has the exclusive right, without liability, after providing two (2) business days' notice to Customer to a) return the Material to its stock sell the same to other customers, in which case PERI will not guaranty availability of the Material or like material or similar pricing as agreed hereunder; and/or b) charge Customer a reasonable storage and handling fee for storing the Material for Customer. PERI shall not be liable for any loss or damage from delay in delivery of any Material or any technical assistance, site service or drawing service as a result of causes of any kind beyond the reasonable control of PERI, such as, but not limited to, strikes or other labor difficulties, war, riots, changes in laws and regulations and other acts of governmental authorities, including customs, inclement weather, fire, flood, unavoidable casualties, delays in transportation of Material, or inability to obtain timely delivery of material from suppliers. In event of any such delay, PERI will notify the Customer within a reasonable time, and it is agreed that the time for delivery shall be extended for a period of time at least equal to the time lost by reason of the delay. Any claims by the Customer for loss due to delay in delivery shall be waived unless made in writing and delivered to PERI within five (5) days after delivery. An unexcused delay in delivery shall not give rise to cancellation by Customer until thirty (30) days after written notice of such intention to cancel shall have been actually received by PERI, and Customer shall be obligated to accept any Material shipped or delivered or drawings completed by PERI during such period and pay for the same. Any claims by the Customer for loss due to delay in delivery, including delivery of Materials, technical assistance/site service or drawings by PERI, shall be waived unless made in writing and delivered to PERI within five (5) days of occurrence of such delay.
9. Risk of loss. All risk of loss or damage to the Material shall pass to the Customer when the carrier takes possession of the Material. All risk of loss, including damage, theft, or destruction, to each item of Material shall be borne by the Customer. No such loss, damage, theft, or destruction of the Material, in whole or in part, shall impair the obligations of Customer under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect. Customer shall be subrogated to PERI's rights with respect to any insurance policies or claims for reimbursement by others with respect to such loss, damage, theft, or destruction.
10. Application and Place of Payments. All payments, if applicable, made on account of this Agreement shall be applied first to the payment of any late charge and fees, including, without limitation, attorney's fees, then due hereunder, second to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest then due hereunder, and the remainder, if any, shall be applied to the unpaid invoices due in the inverse order of maturities. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, any portion of a permitted partial prepayment applied to the unpaid principal balance shall be applied first to the outstanding principal balance due and owing at maturity and thereafter to the principal payments due in the inverse order of maturities. All payments on account of this Agreement shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds.
11. Credit Check. Any accompanying proposal and this Agreement, regardless of execution by Customer, are subject to a credit approval and execution by PERI. Shipment of Material may require additional security, including a deposit, copies of any payment bonds on the applicable project and/or a personal guaranty at the request of PERI.
12. General Indemnity. Customer agrees to indemnify and hold PERI harmless from any claim, liability or obligation (including the costs and attorneys' fees of any suit or claims related thereto) arising out of, connected with or resulting from the use of the Material, including any Preassembled Material (as defined in paragraph 14 below), including but not limited to, any claims arising from: (a) the failure to follow or deviation by Customer or its contractors, agents or subcontractors or any property owners from any manufacturer's instructions/manuals; (b) the failure of Customer or its contractors, agents or subcontractors or any property owners to maintain or any improper handling, use or operation of the Material; (c) the negligent use of the Material with equipment, chemicals or material not furnished by PERI or otherwise expressly approved in writing by PERI in advance of that use; or (d) any negligence of Customer or any of its contractors, agents or subcontractors or any property owners to follow any applicable laws, rules, regulations, codes and standards relating to the use of the Material and/or the operation or maintenance of the same. Customer hereby specifically agrees that the provisions of this clause take precedence and priority over any other indemnification or hold harmless provisions that may be a part of any other document issued or forming a part of this transaction. In the event such provisions are contained in any such other documents, the within clause shall be paramount and supplant such other provisions, and render such other provisions null and void regardless of the date when such other documents were issued, signed, acknowledged, or accepted. PERI shall have no duty to object or reject the indemnification or hold harmless provisions in any such document, the same being rendered null and void by this clause.
13. Assembly Drawings/Manuals. PERI manuals are available upon request. To the extent set forth in the accompanying proposal, necessary layout drawings and/or assembly drawings for the application of the Material, including, if requested, drawings generated by AutoCAD are provided by PERI. Revisions to accommodate changes to structural/architectural drawings and/or construction sequence will be invoiced at the rate of [One Hundred Dollars ($100.00)] per hour. Unless noted otherwise, layout drawings will be based on ACI-347 design standards. Manuals and drawings furnished by PERI are provided to conceptually illustrate the assembly of PERI Material only. Manuals and drawings are neither intended to be fully directive nor cover engineering details for PERI's Material or materials not furnished by PERI. Drawing service does not include reshoring/backshoring calculations and/or drawings, which are Customer's sole responsibility. All PERI-supplied drawings are based upon information provided by Customer and/or others and it is Customer's responsibility to use PERI's Material in accordance with safe engineering and construction practices and applicable law. PERI provides its Material to (experienced) end users with the knowledge, training and expertise in the applicable standards, regulations, laws and usage of the material and it does not control assembly or procedures at the project site, or the grade or quality of materials or equipment supplied by third parties and, therefore, it is Customer's responsibility to integrate PERI's drawings into composite drawings suitably complete for construction purposes. Customer shall review the drawings supplied by PERI for any discrepancies or non-conformities, and in the event of any discrepancies or non-conformities, Customer must notify PERI within [3 working days] after the submission of the drawings by PERI. Customer's failure to provide timely written notice shall constitute a waiver of any and all claims, directly or indirectly, related to the delivery of drawings with discrepancies or non-conformities and it shall be conclusively presumed that Customer has fully inspected the drawings, the Customer deems the drawings satisfactory and acceptable in all respects, and the drawings conform in all material respects to this Agreement. PERI is not liable for any changes by others made to or deviations from any drawings supplied hereunder.
14. Preassembled Material. Only to the extend set forth in the accompanying proposal will PERI provide preassembly of those Custom or other specified materials identified in the proposal ("Preassembled Material"). The preassembly shall be done at PERI's warehouse pursuant to PERI's standard assembly instructions applicable to the Preassembled Material. To the extent that the Preassembled Material is based, in whole or part, upon drawings, specifications or instructions provided by Customer or others or to the extent that the Preassembled Material includes components not supplied by PERI, PERI shall not be liable in any manner for any damages, delays or claims arising from discrepancies, errors or omissions in the drawings, specifications or instructions or any product deficiencies of the components. PERI further shall not be liable for any damage to the Preassembled Material once the carrier takes possession of the Preassembled Material pursuant to paragraphs 5 and 7. Notwithstanding any delivery dates stated in this Agreement or the attached proposal with respect to Material, any delivery dates for Preassembled Material must be expressly agreed upon by PERI. Any such agreed upon delivery date is expressly contingent upon PERI obtaining all requisite information from the Customer necessary for the design and/or assembly of the Preassembled Material. Except as expressly modified hereby, the remaining terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to Preassembled Material.
15. P.E. Drawings. PERI's drawings do not include review and/or stamped drawings and/or calculations by a Professional Engineer. PERI can recommend an independent third party Professional Engineer that is familiar with PERI's formwork and shoring systems. Even if PERI arranges for the service on behalf of Customer and/or passes through Customer's payment to that Professional Engineer, absent a written contract between PERI and that Professional Engineer, under no circumstance is that Professional Engineer considered to be a subcontractor or agent of PERI and PERI has no liability for that Professional Engineer's service. Where PERI has provided Customer with engineering data, drawings or specifications stamped by a Professional Engineer ("Engineering Drawings") it contracted in connection with the use of the Material, the following conditions shall apply: (a) Customer agrees to indemnify and hold PERI harmless against and from any liability or claim for damages or injuries sustained by reason of deviation in whole or in part from such Engineering Drawings even though such deviation may have been based on any verbal or mechanical representation or other statement by PERI personnel; and (b) all Engineering Drawings shall remain the sole property of PERI, and the Customer acknowledges and agrees that any such information contained therein shall not be disclosed to any third parties without the prior written consent of PERI. PERI shall not be responsible for any claim or demand with respect to any data, drawings or specifications that are not marked or stamped by a Professional Engineer contracted by PERI.
16. Technical Assistance/Site Service. Only to the extent set forth in the accompanying proposal, PERI will provide technical assistance/site service for a period of up to two (2) days (up to eight (8) hours each day and not including holidays or weekends) to answer questions related to the standard assembly/application of Material supplied hereunder. This service is not designed to be full time or continuous. Technical assistance/site service is designed to answer questions and provide assistance for PERI's Material and drawings with the understanding by all parties that the Material and drawings are provided to experienced users with the knowledge, training, and expertise in the applicable standards, regulations, laws and usage of the Material. Any additional days or parts thereof of requested technical assistance/site service shall be billed at the rate of $100 per hour, plus travel, food and lodging costs. Technical assistance/site service does not include pre-pour inspection of Material as applicable to concrete forming.
17. Cancellation. An order once placed with and accepted by PERI can be canceled only with PERI's written consent and upon terms that will indemnify PERI against loss, including, but not limited to, any obligation of PERI whatsoever to any third party with respect to the Material or services on the order affected by such cancellation.

A to Z Challenge: How prejudice nearly destroyed the EBERLE family
Well hello there, Week 2 of the A to Z Challenge! Are you ready? What'd you think of week 1?
For the letter E, I wanted to focus the spotlight on my paternal line and in particular the EBERLE family. It's a somber story I share and yet one that is ever so applicable in today's world of prejudice and hate.
My Tie to the Eberle Family
My paternal great-great-grandfather Jacob Eberle came from what was then Mannheim, Kutschurgan, South Russia. Mannheim was a small Catholic German village located near what is now present Odessa, Ukraine. Jacob and his family immigrated to the United States on 4 September 1892 and started a family in Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon.
A Patriot AND Prejudice
When World War One started, his only son, Stephen Jacob Eberle (born and raised in the United States), enlisted and served from 1915 to 1918 as a private in the 18th Infantry Regiment, 1st Division.
First reports received by telegram stated that he was "missing in action."
Later in October 1918 he was reported "missing, but not dead."
"The 'missing but not dead' report gave rise to the report that Eberle was a deserter. Acquaintances of the Eberles laughed wisely and made sly remarks.
'Heard from the war department yet?' a man asked Eberle one day.
Eberle, a shoemaker by trade, sadly nodded his head in the negative.
'Aw, you'll find him in Germany!' was the retort that burned into Eberle's heart.
Not only was young Eberle listed as a deserter, but a traitor and possible spy. Former friends and acquaintances spread the reports that he had fled from the American ranks to Germany, the former home of his father and mother.
The lonely father and mother took these rebuffs unwillingly and maintained at all times that in the end the honor of their boy would be upheld.
The mother [Elizabeth Eberle, nee Brossart], particularly maintained that Stephen had died on the field of battle, and as a result of her continued pleadings, secured the aid of Senator McNary, Congressman McArthur, President Wilson, General Pershing, Adjunct General Harris, and Captain James O Convill and others to trace his sudden and unaccounted for disappearance.
The [repeated] appeals of the sorrowing mother, who was suffering untold torture as a result of the reports in circulation dubbing her son a deserter, caused the war department to take the matter up directly with General Pershind who ordered a thoro[ugh] investigation.
[Six years later] Notification of Stephen J. Eberle's heroic death came to the parents in a letter from the war department at Washington D.C.
To Mrs. Eberle, the mother, the vindication comes with heavy weight, for it relieves her in the eyes of her neighbors and friends who laughed…and shunned her because they believed her son was a deserter.
The official record now is cleared, have been corrected to read that Stephen J. Eberle was killed in action with the American troops in northern France on the afternoon of … under the banner of Company I, 18th Infantry, First Division."
– The Portland News, October 22, 1924
Several years later, Mrs. Eberle proudly went overseas with other mothers of fallen heroes to honor her son, Private Stephen J. Eberle, at his final resting place in France.

Molly of Molly's Canopy says:
Kudos to you for writing this up. I have often wondered if my German immigrant ancestors suffered similar prejudice in their upstate New York town. I will need to do some newspaper research to check the tenor of the times there. So glad your ancestors were vindicated.
it is amazing isn't it? you think we'd learn and yet we are still as prejudicial and hateful in 2020. only difference is where the people are immigrating from.
Thank you so much. Really thought was well written.

thanks Leslie. I am so glad i was able to share this story for my family's sake but also so future generations might see what their prejudice and hatred can cost the innocent.
Glenda Cates says:
I am so glad he was cleared as it had to make his parents feel better but its sad people were labeling the young man a deserter and making there loss even harder on the parents.
i cannot imagine what it was like being in her shoes. for six+ years knowing/believing your son was KIT and having neighbors and so-called friends call your son a traitor and a deserter and a German spy.

It is that time of year when the students begin classes at the local universities. If they behave like what I remembered when I was studying, they'll choose whatever is most profitable when they start working. Or whatever they excel in, hoping that their chosen degree helps when they start working. Concentrating their efforts on one thing, thinking it's the best use of their university time.
I think we're churning out enough specialists. I know of efforts to create well rounded individuals, who study a little bit of knowledge outside of their area of expertise. This is not enough. In this age of information, where knowledge is key, having information from diverse sources is critical. Understanding information from diverse sources is even better. Well rounded doesn't cut it anymore. We need more polymaths.
Competing to be the best is commendable, and encouraged. The thing is, all the popular fields are taken. You want to be the best golfer? Go ahead. You want to have the largest software company? Go ahead. I just think there's an alternative. I agree with Scott Adams (of Dilbert), who thinks becoming very good (top 25%) at two or more things is easier.
For example, a company needs a competent programmer. Hey you're good enough. The company also needs a competent web designer. Well well well, turns out you're good at web designing too. Match made in heaven.
You don't have to be the best. Being 2nd best is often good enough, because you only need to be better than most other people.
