Despite earnin' a holy certain amount of fame from a feckin' national movie of the oul' same name, the famous Wada no Ya store that used to stand at the mountain's peak shifted down to the oul' Awa Odori Kaikan Hall, and even today there is only an oul' single small restaurant on top of the feckin' mountain. Stop the lights! Since the oul' area had little to offer in the feckin' way of tourist facilities, it was removed from many tourist courses and became a point of discussion amongst many of the feckin' local radio stations, the cute hoor. Today it is widely accepted that while the scenery from Mt. Sufferin' Jaysus listen to this. Bizan is very pretty, it is very unfortunate that there is little for people to do there. In 2007 Mount Bizan was the settin' of a feckin' film of the feckin' same name, based on a book by Sada Masashi.[1] It was expected that the oul' film might brin' more visitors to the area and lead to more development.

This report is written primarily for Minnesota's electric utility regulators, policymakers, organizations representing ratepayers, and others who have a stake in the direction of Minnesota's future energy system, and includes specific recommendations for statutory changes and regulatory action.
Phase II aimed to build on the consensus recommendations of Phase I, but in more specific areas, with more participants involved. That was the goal. The Phase II report reflects a great deal of work by participants representing a broad cross-section of the public interest, and a substantial increase in the understanding of the positions and concerns of all participants in this phase.


Thyme, Thymus vulgaris or French thyme.
Thyme is one of the most popular herbs used today. There are several, subspecies that are commonly used for culinary purposes, e.g. lemon thyme, golden thyme, English thyme, German thyme, etc. When planting a garden it can be fun to try different varieties. I literally find that I can never have too much thyme. I enjoy it on almost all foods and dry as much as possible to carry me through winter. The plants will continue to produce through winter, but not if the weather becomes too harsh.
The Thyme plant is perennial. It has a thin woody base and square stems. Its leaves are small and aromatic and its lilac or white flower appears in summer.
Origin: Native to southern Europe and Mediterranean regions, and parts of Africa. It has been used in medicinal and culinary applications for thousands of years. Its use dates back to the Egyptian Empire.
It has a long history of use as a medicinal healer and protector.
During the Roman era, it was eaten to prevent poisoning and put in bath water to stop the effects of poisoning.
In the days prior to refrigeration it was added to dishes as protection from spoiled meats and food-borne pathogens.
Preceding the use of antibiotics, thyme oil was used to medicate bandages.
It is best to use fresh thyme, for a greater nutrient value than the dried herb will have, as well as a superior flavor. Both will likely be available at the health food store or herb store.
Fresh thyme is best used sparingly and at the end of the food preparation to keep its fragrance and flavor intact.
Just about everything goes well with thyme - salads, soups, stews, sauces, meats, chicken, and fish.
There are many beneficial essential oil constituents in thyme with antiseptic, and antifungal properties. It is rich with minerals and vitamins that are essential for optimum health.
Thyme makes a beneficial herbal tea, as it helps to clear congestion. Drinking or gargling warm thyme water may relieve coughs, a sore throat and bronchitis symptoms. This will help dissolve mucous in the intestinal tract. Thyme will also help relax the muscles of the stomach, helping to relieve a variety of types of digestive distress.
Today, a common use of thymol, thyme's most active ingredient, as an antibacterial and antifungal is in mouth wash.
It is a potent antioxidant that offers relief from respiratory and gastrointestinal distress, mental acuity, and protection from cancer causing toxins.
It is considered to be one of the top antioxidant foods around. Antioxidants protect the cells against oxidative stress caused by free radicals, which are considered to be the primary cause of the aging process, e.g. degenerative diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, macular degeneration, Alzheimer's disease and more.
Adding herbs and spices to the diet greatly increases the variety of antioxidants that you get from your food. It is one of the most effective means to preventing disease and premature aging.
Thyme's antihypertensive activity helps to lower high blood pressure, thus helping to protect the heart.
It is rich in carotenoids and vitamin A and therefore highly effective for vision health, possibly slowing the onset of macular degeneration and cataracts.
Thyme is also known to boost feelings of well-being as its carvacrol content increases both, serotonin and dopamine levels.
Useful external applications are to treat dental decay, crabs, scabies and lice.
Precautions: It is not known as an allergic substance and can be eaten daily. However, those with a sensitive stomach may need to refrain from high intake of the herb.

from National Alliance for Media Arts and Culture (NAMAC):
Engaging Audiences: Two Brief Case Studies
Author: Tracey Quezada
Last month, I participated in an online, social engagement chat around the documentary film A Lot Like You. The chat, hosted by AfroPop/Black Public Media and the Center for Asian American Media, was held on ITVS' OVEE platform. OVEE is a new social screening platform for watching your favorite PBS and local public television programs. People from everywhere, locally, nationally, internationally, can join OVEE chats to watch films collectively, share responses, or even pose questions via live chat to the filmmakers or producers in attendance.
A Lot Like You (ALLY) shares the story of Eliaichi Kimaro, a mixed-race, first-generation American with a Tanzanian father and Korean mother who is searching for a stronger connection to her African roots. I was drawn to director Eliaichi Kimaros' film because of the complexities of the issues raised, and because of the ways her team is engaging audiences around these issues. The interactive component on ALLY's website allows people from everywhere to join the conversation around the sensitive subjects of interpersonal violence and racial and cultural identities. Users are invited to download this picture, write on it reflections inspired by the film, take a photo of what they wrote, and mail it in to the site admin. Together, these personal images populate a gallery on the website, that due to its aesthetic design, looks something like Instagram with a message. The images and text are also uploaded to the ALLY blog, which helps to make the handwriting clear and the message pop. ALLY's website is a clear example of how communities can engage in virtual conversation that helps support one another.
In my experience, I've found storytelling satisfies the human need for connection. People want to share and be heard, so what better way to activate people about important social issues than to connect to one another through shared experiences, creative expression, and resources.
In my work as a filmmaker and story consultant I'm always researching and implementing new ways to engage audiences. The film I'm currently producing, You and Me and the Fruit Trees, follows Angel, Aquiela and Tony who after years of childhood sexual (CSA) abuse, untangle the intergenerational forces that tainted their lives.
I learned that in order to get the conversation going and build collective action, one must start with mutually beneficial relationships. So, early on in the making of the film, I started partnering with many non-profit organizations.
I always suggest that filmmakers get to know their institutional partners. Once you have a solid idea of who your audience is and how you would like to use your media project to engage communities, you can begin to list who would benefit from your multimedia project, both at the level of audience and at the level of organizational partner. Your partners already know the audiences you're trying to reach and can offer helpful advice on your audience's needs, how to meet them, and on additional organizations in need of media to inspire dialogue around your issues of interest. I found that everyone, from rehabilitation centers to youth centers and educational institutions, seeks tools to deepen the conversation.
Learning about how our partners aim to serve their demographic helped our team begin to build a website that could meet that need by allowing community members to share their stories of how CSA has impacted them directly or indirectly. The website also includes mapping the impact CSA has on society, to bring awareness around this endemic.
More and more people are interested in using media as an educational tool. Whether it be a series of short video clips, an audio story, or even a curriculum that accompanies a film, educators and advocates value tools that will help their constituencies better understand — and even connect with — an issue. For You and Me and the Fruit Trees, we are building an engagement toolkit to be used with the film for educational institutions, rehabilitation centers and adult and youth prisons.
But always remember that no matter how many partners you have or how strong your curricular materials, those can easily become moot if you don't begin with powerful storytelling. Once you have mastered this, you can easily be on your way to raise collective action and empower audiences everywhere.

Stanford's Haley Jones (30) looks to pass next to Ohio State's Dorka Juhasz during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game Sunday, Dec. 15, 2019, in Stanford, Calif. (AP Photo/George Nikitin)
NEW YORK, NY – Louisville climbed a spot to No. 6 in the The Associated Press women's Top 25 rankings, which remained mostly unchanged Monday with most teams on break for exams.
Stanford, UConn, Oregon, Oregon State and South Carolina top the poll. The Cardinal played their first game since moving up to No. 1 a few weeks ago by routing Ohio State on Sunday.
Stanford received 27 first-place votes from the national media panel. UConn, Oregon and Oregon State each got one vote.
Only one game this past week involved a pair of ranked teams with Louisville edging 14th-ranked Kentucky. The Cardinals switched places with Baylor in this week's rankings.
Florida State, N.C. State and UCLA round out the first 10 teams.
The only other change from the previous week was that South Dakota entered the rankings at No. 25. The Coyotes were ranked for two weeks in February, the first time in the poll in school history. Miami fell out of the poll.
OVERRATED?
Nobody has been ranked in the top five more this decade than UConn and coach Geno Auriemma. His team moved up to No. 2 last week, and the Hall of Fame coach said it's more about his team's undefeated status more than how good the Huskies may be.
"It's not really true. We're just there because we haven't lost yet. Everybody else happened to lose. We ain't No. 2 in the country," he told reporters last week.
The Huskies have a difficult month ahead starting with a road game at No. 16 DePaul. UConn will also face No. 6 Baylor, No. 23 Tennessee and No. 3 Oregon over the next few months.
Missouri State at Gonzaga, Friday. Two of the top mid-major programs will tip-off in Washington. Each team has one loss on the season with the 20th-ranked Lady Bears dropping the championship game of the Preseason WNIT at Oregon State. The No. 17 Zags lost in overtime at Stanford.

Forza Horizon 4 will launch worldwide on Xbox One, Windows 10 and Xbox Game Pass on October 2, 2018 as an Xbox Play Anywhere title.
The Forza franchise has a strong history of featuring industry-leading cars and Forza Horizon 4's British automotive cover cars are no exception – the McLaren Senna and the 1997 Land Rover Defender 90. In celebration of our long-term partnership with McLaren, the McLaren Senna will make its North American debut in our Mixer booth, located in the South Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center during a Mixer live stream on Tuesday, June 12 at 11 a.m. PDT and displayed for E3 attendees throughout the week. E3 attendees can also take the Senna for a test drive in Forza Horizon 4 at the Microsoft Theater.
· Seasons Change Everything – Forza Horizon 4 features dynamic seasons that change gameplay, unlocking new events and routes, impacting driving conditions, and transforming open-world exploration – all in native 4K and HDR. Players will be able to master driving in dry, wet, muddy, snowy and icy conditions in a shared world where everyone experiences changes in time of day, weather and seasons together.
· Open-World Freedom – Forza Horizon 4 allows players to choose their path to becoming a Horizon Superstar. We're proud to introduce two of our most fan-requested features – a brand new Route Creator that lets you design and share your own custom race routes anywhere in the open world and the option to play at 60 frames per second for players on Xbox One X.
· Collect Over 450 Cars and Customize Your Horizon Life – With over 450 cars from more than 100 licensed manufacturers, Forza Horizon 4 features the largest and most diverse Horizon car roster yet with all the customization options Forza players love, like new Drift Suspension upgrades and driver personalization with character clothing, accessories and emotes. And for the first time in the Horizon series, players can own property that unlocks new items and gameplay perks.
· Go it Alone or Team Up – Players can choose to play alone, cooperatively or join multiplayer for casual fun or ranked teams. In addition, integrated Mixer broadcasting and spectating features add to an already fun and rewarding experience.
Appearing on the cover of Forza Horizon 4 is the McLaren Senna – named for legendary Formula 1 driver, Ayrton Senna – which will make its North American debut via Mixer on June 12 at E3. Designed to personify the McLaren vision at its most extreme, the Senna delivers an intense driving experience dedicated to creating the most personal connection possible between car and driver. We are thrilled to continue our partnership with McLaren and look forward to sharing more about how we're working with McLaren to merge the automotive and gaming industries.
Also joining the McLaren Senna on the cover of Forza Horizon 4 is the 1997 Land Rover Defender 90, a four-wheel driving experience specifically designed for exciting off-road adventures. We have been honored to work with Land Rover on previous Horizon titles and adding a British icon like the Land Rover Defender 90 was a natural choice to help showcase the beautiful, historic background of Britain and the variety of gameplay available for players.

The Valley – The Valley (Self-Released)
On January 16, 2012 October 13, 2018 By 12a26aIn ValleyLeave a comment
This six-song EP is The Valley's first release since their 2005 debut (confusingly, also a self-titled EP). The group's music remains heavy as hell and still has me wondering just how three people can produce such a thick sound. Influences include grunge groups like Mudhoney and Nirvana, but there's also subtle hints of psychedelia (the Mellotron in "Come Down"), shoegazing (the warped guitar sounds on "Death Star Gunner"), '70s stoner rock (twin guitar leads and cowbells), and a few Joy Division lyrics that found their way onto "Come Down". As much as the influences are obvious, The Valley stake out their own territory with memorable songs and talented musicianship (especially drummer Jim Laws, who pounds away with such fury he must have to replace his kit after each rehearsal). Highly recommended.

Jack Dorsey rolls his stake into Elon Musk-owned Twitter
Jack Dorsey has rolled his entire stake of Twitter shares, worth nearly $1bn at the buyout price of $54.20, into the privately held company he founded, which is now controlled by Elon Musk.
Regulatory filings show Dorsey, who was Twitter's chief executive until late last year, rolled over some 18mn shares into the private company, making him one of its biggest shareholders.
The news comes as Musk has moved swiftly to stamp his mark on the platform, firing top executives including Dorsey's successor, Parag Agrawal, planning for broader lay-offs and ordering a revamp of the verification process.
A filing on Monday confirmed that Musk, who has changed his public profile to read "Chief Twit", is Twitter's current chief executive. It is unclear whether he will select someone to take up the role in his stead but he is being supported by a group of loyal lieutenants including venture capitalist David Sacks and his personal lawyer Alex Spiro as he assesses Twitter's business.
Musk and Dorsey long have admired each other in a "bromance" that played a significant role in shaping the Tesla chief executive's bid to buy the company.
In private messages, revealed in court filings, Dorsey encouraged Musk to buy the platform, writing that it should have always been an "open source protocol, funded by a foundation" rather than a company. "That was the original sin," he said.
Dorsey also said he had previously tried to bring Musk on to the board of Twitter, but the directors had refused because they were too "risk averse", referring to them as "terrible".
In public, upon the board agreeing to the takeover, Dorsey tweeted: "Elon is the singular solution I trust. I trust his mission to extend the light of consciousness." Dorsey left the Twitter board in May just weeks after the company announced the sale to Musk for $44bn.
According to the filing, Dorsey and Musk "may be deemed to have formed a group" for the purposes of part of the filing, a designation that indicates the pair were working together on the buyout.
Dorsey, however, "disclaim[ed] the existence of any such group and also disclaims beneficial ownership over any shares of common stock beneficially owned by [Musk]," according to the filing.

Q: Too long to load app How can i check why my app starting too long ?
This app starting about 5 second on real phone.
Last time i tried to make 2nd activity with splash screen for 5 seconds when my application starting but that was bad idea.
It looked like this: 5 second to start -> splash -> next 5 sec -> app working.
My idea caused two times more loading.
This application using google maps.
So how can i check why this loading is too long and how can i fix it ?

A: Try to checkout https://nimbledroid.com/ . Its a service, which would help you to find the cold start. Also you can look for your app's performance.
Try not to put to much (initialization) in MainApplication class unnecessarily.
There would be some cold start, if you have gcm or fcm in application.

Many of you are familiar with our company and its services / products, but what you may not know is who we are as people and what makes us tick. This quarter's newsletter is dedicated to taking you inside the minds of our executive team members and managers with the goal of answering one question… What excites STS employees about coming into work every day? When all things are said and done, you (our loyal readers) will unearth the unfettered passion that continues to fly STS Aviation Group forward. We hope you enjoy the following articles and thank you in advance for taking the time to read them.
Employee Happiness Propels STS Aviation Group into the Future
I routinely tell my staff, "If you're not happy and excited to go into work most days, you owe it to yourself to make a change." I believe this to be true for every level of employee; from those in leadership roles to newly-hired interns.
There is no reason that a person working at the lowest levels of an organization should be more or less happy than those working at the highest. In other words, I don't feel that one should spend a significant portion of their professional lives in a position that does not make them happy. This is not only something I wholeheartedly believe in, it is something I preach to each and every employee at STS Aviation Group.
The change I referenced in the first paragraph does not mean one must quit their job in an effort to find professional happiness / satisfaction. It is possible, in my opinion, to affect change and find happiness by simply altering the way one approaches their current role. For example, by having open and honest discussions with management, altering daily responsibilities and even moving to a different department, one can change their professional prospective in a positive way.
Time and time again it has been proven that happy employees miss fewer days, work more hours and have higher productivity levels than unhappy employees. Knowing this, there's no room left for doubt that employee happiness translates directly to the underlining success of a company.
The old guard (and I am on the fringe of that group) believes in the concept of driving employees to work hard and put in long hours knowing that most will oblige because they're being provided compensation. Members of that guard also feel that employees do not need to be happy inside the workplace; they just need to show up and do their job.
To change that mindset is difficult because it's an idea rooted in much of the old guard's upbringing. It is what their parents and grandparents grew up with. It is what they were taught and told to appreciate. It's also hard to convince the very same group of people that putting a ping-pong table in the break room or providing workplace daycare is going to ultimately make the company more successful. To them, they just don't see how these things help employee productivity and promote business growth. Are they wrong in thinking this way? The quick answer is no, they are not wrong. They might, however, be a little shortsighted.
There is no doubt that understanding employee behavior is a critical factor to business success. Most of the things that affect employee happiness do not cost companies a dime. According to a recent article in Inc. Magazine, the best way to make employees happy involves ongoing communication aimed at offering an heir of certainty about one's professional future. If engaged regularly and often on that level, employees will more likely than not be excited about coming into work every day. This is true because they've been shown a light at the end of the tunnel. They can appreciate what they're working toward while having a clear understanding of the path they need to follow in order to get there.
Creating excitement among employees is also free so long as a company's management team is capable of doing so. How does one create excitement? There isn't a definitive playbook to work from, but my suggestion is this. Find out what your employees are passionate about and play to those passions. If your team tends to thrive in a competitive atmosphere, give them something to compete for. Alternatively, if you throw an awesome end-of-the-year party, let employees be a part of the organization and planning process. I can go on and on offering endless examples of how to generate excitement inside the workplace, but at the end of the day, it boils down to knowing your staff as people and providing them with avenues that make their jobs both rewarding and worthwhile.
So… managers and business owners take note. We are in the early morning hours of a new age, and if employee happiness is not high on your priority list, you may be overlooking a very important and inexpensive tool designed to build a more successful business.
Thanks for taking the time, and I hope you enjoy the rest of STS Aviation Group's quarterly newsletter.
Careers Born from Passion Rest at the Heart of STS Aviation Group
By Rachel Hood — Manager, Technical Recruiting, STS Engineering Solutions & Brian Boje — Senior Director of Recruiting, STS AeroStaff Services
Part One — Staffing (Aerospace Engineers)
When STS Aviation Group's Marketing Director asked me to write a newsletter article around the question, "What excites you about coming into work every day," I had to do some digging. I was interested in exploring this not only on an introspective level, I also deemed it wise to pose the same question to members of my team and see how they'd respond.
Before I get too far ahead of myself, let me circle back and start this story again from its true beginning; when I applied for a job with STS more than 11 years ago.
After learning that STS Aviation Group had an opening, I remember faxing my resume (yes, faxing resumes was very normal back then) and getting a phone call shortly thereafter requesting that I come in for a face-to-face interview. At the time, I had never been on an airplane and knew absolutely nothing about the aviation industry. To be honest, I didn't even know that staffing agencies existed, what per diem meant or anything else about recruitment process outsourcing. Needless to say, I was hired, and the normal period of awkwardness that accompanies the start of every new job quickly vanished on day two when something profoundly important happened. Let me explain…
On my second day working for STS, the other Recruiting Coordinator (that's the role I was hired for, and there were only two of us back then) I was working with called out sick. This left me on my own answering phone calls and trying to navigate the DOS-based system we used back in the day. I was almost to the point of tears shortly after the morning started, but everyone was so patient and understanding. They offered me advice, guidance and words of encouragement throughout the day and keep reminding me that while I was working alone, I was never really alone in my professional pursuits. It was then I knew that I wasn't just a part of strange yet lovable team; I was a member of a supportive / nurturing family and would be treated as such throughout my career.
Now as far as recruiting is concerned, you know that you've truly made a difference when someone says "thank you" for helping them find gainful employment. As a quick but albeit important sidebar, I recently had one of STS' Contract Engineers send me thank-you flowers as a sign of gratitude for helping him find work. That one small gesture quickly reminded me of how amazing it is to be able to offer someone a means to provide for themselves and their families.
I've worked with this particular contractor for almost five years now, but he's only been employed by STS sporadically throughout that time. Despite this fact, I always made an effort to stay in touch. After all, it's a relationship I built from nothing, and I'm proud of that. Why? Because cultivating relationships is what I live for, and I enjoy doing it. Now his gesture of thanks was above and beyond what most recruiters can expect, but it made me feel appreciated, and it also reminded me of why my work at STS Aviation Group matters.
The passion and enthusiasm we collectively possess as a team at STS Aviation Group has no doubt fueled our success. Together, we not only hit all of our staffing goals last year, we greatly exceeded them.
STS' Engineering Staffing Department is on an upward trend again right now, and I don't see that slowing down anytime soon. This fact, above all else, is what makes me happy and excited to come to work every day. I couldn't ask to be a part of a better organization, and I am grateful to my teammates (no, my family) for all the love and support they've shown.
It's not always common to hear people say that they're still excited to come to work after 11 years, but I am. I truly enjoy helping aerospace engineering professionals across the country find work because, to me, that's what this job is all about.
Part Two — Staffing (Touch Labor)
My name is Brian Boje, and I am the Senior Director of Recruiting for STS AeroStaff Services. A few weeks ago, I was asked to write a newsletter article focused on answering the question, "Why are you excited to come to work every day, and how does that excitement translate into success for you and your team?"
For brevity's sake, I could dive right into my response, but that would be disservice to those of you who don't know me. So in an effort to avoid isolating my readers, I think it's best to start with a story; or rather to tell you where my love for aviation spawned from and how that love led me to where I am today.
I became interested in aviation at a young age. I remember having vintage airplane wallpaper covering my bedroom as a kid, and I also remember going to airshows at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona (I grew up in Arizona). Reflecting on this a bit, I guess it would be fair for me to say that I was always fascinated by aircraft.
That love I felt for aviation as a child carried over into high school. In fact, I was a part of a class that combined science and math, and that very same class became the first high school in the country to make a working / functional wind tunnel. As a result of this, I was given the option to take a free flight-training course, and I even got to fly with a Senator (CNN did a thing about it… no big deal).
The passion for aviation that I once felt as a child soon blossomed into full-blown obsession. After high school, I wanted nothing more than to work in the aerospace industry, though at the time, I didn't know how / when I was going to make that happen.
A few months after graduation, I was offered a job in Marana, Arizona, as an aircraft cleaner. A year or so later, I was promoted to Aircraft Painter. I ended up taking my first contract position with STS in 1992 while working for CTAS in Waco, Texas. I have remained under the company's employ ever since.
I was hired as a recruiter by STS in 1996 when the company's home office was still in Nashville, Tennessee. I was promoted to Assistant Manager of Recruiting in 1999, and I am currently the Senior Director of Recruiting for all of STS AeroStaff Services.
Now that you know a little about me and my passion for the aviation industry, let me try and explain why I'm regularly excited to come to work every day. For me, placing qualified Aircraft Maintenance Technicians into rewarding careers all over the country makes the time and effort I expel worthwhile. I love providing good people with a means to be able to provide for themselves, and this stands as a great source of pride for both me and my team.
It's been said that "If you do what you love for a living, you'll never have to work a day in your life." I love what I do, and trust me, it still feels like work, but that doesn't mean that I don't embrace the grind and rise above the challenges that accompany my professional responsibilities.
At the end of the day, it boils down to this. I lead a team of professionals dedicated to helping aircraft maintenance technicians find work, and I can't imagine doing anything more rewarding with my professional life than that.
Aircraft Engineering Services by STS Enjoy Boundless Growth
Randy Steenholdt — Senior Vice President, STS Engineering Solutions
As the Senior Vice President of Engineering for STS Engineering Solutions (STSES), I am truly excited about the opportunity to build and grow a professional organization in uncharted territory. Whereas my management activities at both Boeing (for 5 ½ years) and Northwest Airlines (for 16 ½ years) were rewarding, there were always limitations due to the fact that I was working for "big business." At STSES, there are no real boundaries for growth, and this make each day both new and exciting.
For large U.S. companies, the comparison made to implementing change is like turning a ship around in rough seas. At STS Engineering Solutions, we can establish a deviation to our business model in the morning and literally implement that change the same afternoon.
I am an innate a risk-taker, and I regularly challenge the statement "it can't be done." At STSES, we pride ourselves on developing business strategies that deviate from textbook / competitor models. Specifically, with regard to the aircraft engineering services we offer, my team of professionals embrace the challenge of developing repairs and / or major aircraft designs that our competition said "couldn't be done." It is this mindset, along with our commitment to provide prompt and cost-effective engineering support, which has allowed our company to serve 85% of U.S. regional carrier operators and 70% of legacy operators via liaison engineering support.
The proven ability to establish "Virtual Engineering" offices scattered across the United States, South America, Central America and Europe (in which 24/7 aircraft engineering support is provided) is unlike any other comparable business model out there. The Virtual Engineering services we provide require STSES team members to be highly disciplined and self-motivated, but the work-life balance we're able to offer, cast alongside the preclusion for daily commutes, is a significant and positive benefit for all of our employees.
Since we encourage STS engineers to be creative, the ability to react quickly is constant. Couple that with the freedom to work remotely, and I consider myself fortunate to lead a group of highly-trained professionals who share a similar business mindset and commitment to customer service.
Exceptional Customer Service & Passionate Team Members Keep STS Component Solutions Flying
Going to work excited every day is rare for just about everyone, but for those who work in aviation, it tends to be more common. Once aviation gets in your blood (and it seems to happen very easily), you are sucked right into the middle of it all as you find yourself involved with one of the most rewarding and dynamic industries in the world.
I have been in aviation for… quite some time, and I can truly say that there have only been a handful of days during my career when I was not excited about coming into work. I've always felt this way, and as I sit here and type this article, I can honestly say that, even after all these years, I am still excited about the work that I do and the industry we are in. Here are some reasons why…
For me, workplace happiness starts with a deep-rooted passion for the aviation industry, but if it was not for the team that I am surrounded by and the customers and business partners that we interface with, I am not sure if I would still hold the same level of passion that I experienced early on in my career.
At STS Component Solutions (STSCS), there is never a dull day. Each and every day there is a certain level of energy that is felt as soon as you walk into our office in Palm City, Florida. This is where it all starts, and I embrace the opportunity to interact with the passionate team(s) we have in place and the customers we support globally.
Every day is a little different from the last, and the STSCS team is constantly facing new challenges in an effort to provide value-driven solutions for our customers. Whether it is a major legacy airline in North America or an MRO in the Asia-Pacific region; there is always an opportunity for STSCS to deliver aircraft solutions better, and more efficiently, than any of our competitors.
"Solutions to Keep You Flying" is not just a tag line for STS Aviation Group, it is a state of mind that we like to instill in all of our employees. The passion our team demonstrates daily is what makes coming into work exciting. The people who make up the collective aerospace workforce are very unique, and those who work at STS are even more so. When you add all of this together, it's impossible for me to imagine coming into work without an overwhelming feeling of passion and excitement. I am proud of this fact but even prouder still of how hard the STSCS team works in an effort to offer quality customer service and exceptional product support, which is second to none.
Passionate, Knowledgeable Employees Set STS Line Maintenance Apart
The second quarter of 2015 is in the books, and what an exciting year it has been so far for STS Line Maintenance. Our Miami (MIA) operation is up and running, and we are very close to opening a new line station in beautiful Nassau, Bahamas (more on that in the future). In addition, our special WiFi installation projects continue to grow steadily as the flying public's demand for in-flight connectivity increases.
As the Vice President / General Manager of the STS Line Maintenance Division, my schedule is crazy, and this is caused by the rapid growth and expansion of our company. Because of this, I often find myself wondering, "with so little time to do anything else, why do I enjoy my job so much?"
There is no short answer to that question, but I will try and explain it as quickly and effectively as I possibly can. I love my job at STS because I'm a different breed of person. Anyone in the business will tell you that working / managing a flight line requires out of the box thinking, an adaptive personality as well as a mindset catered toward strict attention to detail.
If I'm being completely honest, I don't just love my job because I believe that I was built for it, I love my job because the smell of burning of jet fuel and the sound of aircraft taking off and landing really gets my heart beating (no kidding). I also love knowing that, at any moment, my team and I can get a call about a broken aircraft prior to sending a technician (or team of technicians) out to diagnose and fix the problem. This is a truly invigorating process for me.
I genuinely believe that STS Line Maintenance employs some of the most knowledgeable aircraft maintenance techs in the field, and they're always ready to respond at all hours of the day. Time and time again, STS answers the call of duty before examining what we could have done to further expedite an aircraft's return to service. We challenge ourselves regularly by collaborating with one another while forcing each other to look at things with an out-of-the-box approach to our services.
As you can imagine, the line maintenance business is very competitive and fast-paced. You do something different every day, and there is no set schedule for broken aircraft.
I really find the flight line to be both exciting and challenging due to the pressure you're under and invite you all to think about it this way… Often times, the STS Line Maintenance team is called to an aircraft with over one hundred people on board as they look down the aisle starring at you and saying to themselves, "I sure hope he / she knows how to fix the problem quickly." It's a huge responsibility, and our people not only understand this, they tend to thrive and excel under that sort of pressure.
At STS Line Maintenance, we work to improve the skills of our technicians during every call. We require them to learn from each event and get better with time.
To a line technician, it is a self-victory when they beat the machine. Now, one thing's for sure, the machine is forever evolving, and if we don't evolve with it and learn the new technologies that are brought before us each and every day, we won't be effective.
To be the best at what you do is exciting and challenging, and that's why I come to work every day both excited and pumped to lead our technicians. I want us, as a whole, to fly above the rest, and every call we receive, every problem we fix, brings us one step closer to maintaining that privilege.
Thanks for taking the time, and I'll see you on the flight line!
In this post, we would like to spotlight one of STS Component Solutions' Project Administrators, Fiorella Ormeno, and introduce 13 new corporate employees whom have all been hired in the past few months.
Fiorella Ormeno — Program Administrator at STS Component Solutions
I manage the programs that are awarded to STS Component Solutions. In other words, I make sure all orders, procedures and service issues between our customers, departments, account managers and business partners are properly coordinated and executed.
Not many companies allow employees to grow and move into different positions, but STS Component Solutions provides that opportunity, and I am grateful for that. I also like the group of people I spend my days with. We have excellent working / personal relationships with one another, and it makes the daily grind a little easier when you get to come to work and be surrounded by people you really enjoy.
I am sure there are more that I could list, but I'm a big Denzel Washington fan, so I'm going to go with the movie Flight. If you haven't seen it yet, crawl out from under that rock and check it out. It's awesome!
My most memorable moment working for STS Component Solutions has to be my first day on the job. After opening a new office in Palm City, Florida, every day-one employee came into the building and had no chairs to sit on. As the true team player that I am, I just started putting chairs and tables together so we could all start working on what was really important… providing exceptional service to our growing global network customers.

Our staff professionals have as their main priority the proper training of all employees who will be maintaining the buildings we service. These employees are trained in the proper use of all supplies and equipment to maintain your building.
To comply with OSHA Regulations, we keep books in our janitorial rooms with the MSDS sheets fro all products used. All bottles are clearly marked with contents. Cleaning chemicals are brought for use on an "as needed" basis soas to maintain a minimal amount of chemicals on the premises.
The first week teh employees are assigned to a job site, they will work with a lead worker. Once they have a full understanding of al their job duties, they are allowed to work on a more independent basis with a normal amount of supervision.
All employees are encouraged to increase their knowledge of all facets of janitorial work in order to qualify them for promotion and raises. 100% of our supervisors and managers have been promoted to their positions from within the company and started as entry-level employees.
Golden Bear supervisors start at entry-level positions and have been fully trained in all aspects of building maintenance. Those individuals who demonstrate strong leadership capabilities, in addition to being resolutely conscientious, are then considered for supervisor positions. If invited to be a supervisor, that individuals works one-on-one with an established supervisor until the Director of Operations is confident of the individual's abiltiy to supervise.
In a maximum maintenance situation, there will be one non-working supervisor for ten working custodians and sanitation specialists.

Universities must sell the benefits of globalisation
Peter Mathieson is a big believer in the merits of globalisation, and wants universities to instil this belief in their students
Peter Mathieson

In this era of instant global transfer of information, accessible international travel and rapid technological advances, young people necessarily have the potential to be global citizens. Universities set themselves the aim of providing a truly international experience for their students and staff.
I am a profound believer in the merits of globalisation and the moral obligation that universities have to ensure that their students and staff have access to opportunities all over the world. Our role is also to help to equip them with the skills and tools that they need to maximise the self-improvement and societal benefit that can stem from those opportunities. However, such a belief in globalisation is far from universal: I am well aware that many people feel that globalisation has helped others but not them, or that the benefits of globalisation have been exaggerated.
Political leaders in various parts of the world have capitalised on this sentiment: electoral surprises in the UK and US (among others) have certainly included an element of anti-globalisation motivation. Defeated French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen said that "globalisation is slowly choking our communities", among other similar remarks. Whole sections of society need convincing that globalisation, which in my opinion is largely irreversible at least in the short to medium term, is a force for good, not for evil.
Universities can and must play their part in this.
At my institution, the University of Hong Kong, our efforts fall into two major categories: internationalisation at home, and the creation of opportunities outside Hong Kong. For the former, the foci are internationally minded curricula; diverse and integrated international populations of students and staff; visiting speakers, teachers and scholars; international conferences; cultural events, sometimes in collaboration with foreign consulates, trade missions or businesses; language tuition and so on. Of course we are assisted by being located in one of the world's most vibrant international hubs, on the doorstep of mainland China and within a short flight of half of the world's population.
This geographical location also assists the second aim, namely the creation of opportunities outside Hong Kong. We have set ourselves the ambitious target of providing opportunities to 100 per cent of our undergraduates for two experiences outside Hong Kong during their four (usually, sometimes five or six) years of study: one in mainland China and one somewhere else in the world. For our research postgraduate students, our aim is also 100 per cent, but we expect this to be only one such opportunity, cognate with their research project and likely influenced by the interests and contacts of their supervisors.
This plan, especially for undergraduates, brings major challenges of organisation, quality control, safety and of course funding. However, we firmly believe in the educational and pedagogical benefits of such experiences. We believe in taking students outside their comfort zones; exposing them to new places, people and circumstances; challenging them to see the world from the perspective of others sometimes very different from themselves; confirming our view that much learning can and should take place outside the classroom. The opportunities can be many and varied: dual or joint degrees, semester or whole-year exchanges, study-abroad modules, internships, experiential learning, working with schools, universities, industry, charities or social enterprises.
We do not aim to be prescriptive. Some of these activities can be credit-bearing but this is not a prerequisite.
In order to bake a cake, you need ingredients, expertise and infrastructure. The ingredients of our internationalisation cake are talented students, most of whom already have multiple language capabilities, an institutional determination to make this area a strategic priority and the conviction about educational benefits that will result.
Search our database of more than 7,000 global university jobs
The expertise is growing: some of our faculties have more experience than others of internationalisation, but by spreading of best practices, learning from other like-minded organisations and willingness to learn from experiments including successes and failures, we are acquiring the necessary skills. The infrastructures that we need, both in Hong Kong and elsewhere, are formidable.
We are committed to ensuring that all students have equal access to internationalisation opportunities, irrespective of personal or family wealth. Since about 40 per cent of HKU's students come from underprivileged backgrounds, this means that many will need financial support. We have been fortunate in benefiting from considerable philanthropic support for many aspects of the university's work, and we hope that this will continue. Internationalisation is so integral to the University of Hong Kong's past, present and future that we will make every effort to achieve our aims.
But how can we measure "global citizenship"? How will we know that we are successfully providing our students with the appropriate elements to maximise their opportunities in the modern world?
Of course, one outcome measure will be employment statistics, but these will need more granularity than is currently easily available. Our graduate employment statistics are incredible: 99.7 or 99.8 per cent employment in every recent year. However, we need to know where these jobs are, how "international" they are, which parts of the university experience influenced job choices or employers' decisions and how much mobility has been created.
League tables of internationalisation already flatter us: for the last two years we have been placed third in the world in Times Higher Education's ranking for international outlook, and in 2017 we were the top comprehensive university in this league table.
If we achieve our 100 per cent targets by the year 2022, which is our stated aim, where will we be in the league tables? Does it matter?
Peter Mathieson is president of the University of Hong Kong. He will be speaking on a panel, "Modern graduates: citizens of the world or citizens of nowhere?", at the 2017 THE World Academic Summit in London this September.

About 50% of global health care executives believe that within five years mobile health will allow patients to be more proactive participants in their own care, according to a survey by The Economist's "Intelligence Unit," EHR Intelligence reports (Bresnick, EHR Intelligence, 2/9).
For the survey, researchers polled 144 pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device and public and private health care executives from more than 20 countries, including the U.S.
Barriers to mobile health adoption (Carey, "Intelligence Unit" survey, February 2015).
Overall, respondents largely expressed optimism toward the role of mobile health in patient engagement.
More than 33% said smartphones, tablets and home monitoring technologies will reduce costs and lessen the burden for providers.
19% cited regulatory obstacles (EHR Intelligence, 2/9).
According to the report, adoption will be particularly slow in developed countries — such as the U.S. — because they are "entrenched" in practices that would require a culture shift to change (Mottl, FierceMobileHealthcare, 2/7).
Meanwhile, nearly 20% of U.S. respondents said that mobile health technologies have no potential to generate revenue for health care providers.
Share their health-related knowledge (EHR Intelligence, 2/9).
