Operation Round-Up | Clarke Electric Cooperative, Inc.
Whether you know it or not, you are part of a larger community. It's easy to focus on what's right in front of us – where we live, the people we see every day, or the jobs we do. And you care about all of those things because they are important to you. Clarke Electric cares, too.
What is Operation Round Up™?
Operation Round Up is a charitable giving program unique to electric cooperatives that is designed to provide financial donations to worthwhile community programs and help member families who have faced a tragic event.
As a participant, your monthly electric bill is automatically "rounded up" to the nearest dollar. For example, if your bill is $64.35, you will pay $65.00, with the extra 65 cents going into a special fund administered by the Clarke Electric Cooperative Trust Board.
The Clarke Electric Cooperative Trust Board will distribute the money collected by Operation Round Up.
Requests for assistance by charitable organizations will be evaluated and grants awarded by a separate board of directors made up of nine volunteer members representing each of our seven districts.
The primary purpose of Operation Round Up is to address charitable needs and provide financial assistance anywhere in the eight counties served by Clarke Electric Cooperative. Your contribution improves the lives of others. No funds will be used for political purposes, and no funds will go to directly pay someone's utility bill.
The following counties will be served by the program: Clarke, Decatur, Lucas, Madison, Ringgold, Union, Warren and Wayne.
Unless you tell us you do not want to participate, you are automatically enrolled. If you wish to opt out of the program, you can call 800-362-2154 or email us at clarke@cecnet.net.
What if I have multiple accounts? Will I pay extra on each of them?
No. Only a member's primary account will be rounded.
Electric cooperatives across the country that have launched an Operation Round-Up program have much more success with the opt-out approach. We realize this requires our members to act if they choose not to participate in the voluntary program, but we also know that the small change we collect each month by rounding up your bill (less than a dollar) is an affordable way for most members to feel good about giving back.
Remember, you can opt out at any time before the October 2018 launch or any time after – no questions asked. Simply fill out this form and return it to the cooperative office or give us a call at (800) 362-2154 to opt out.

Not more or less barkers compared to other breeds. French Bulldogs are not typically excessive barkers.
Are French Bulldogs good watch dogs?
French Bulldogs make good watch dogs and can become somewhat territorial and protective.
They are fantastic companion dogs. They are fun, entertaining and loving. The French Bulldog is delightful, easy to groom, and requires little exercise.
How do Frenchies take to apartment living?
Wonderfully. This is one reason the French Bulldog has been popular throughout the history of the breed. Frenchies like to be where you are and don't take up too much space at all. It is good to get in a good walk as much as possible for overall health and exercise. If your Frenchie only gets the occasional walk to the grass outside, is at least something.
All dogs seem to do better with exposure to other aspects of life, other dogs, and people too. The French Bulldog should never be a mean, aggressive or a vicious animal. It is often recommended and a good idea to take your Frenchie visiting and to various places. This helps your dog be a better dog and not possibly overreact out of fear of the unknown. It also builds confidence and character in your dog. It gives you and the dog an easier time when separated or when traveling together.
Your Frenchie should NEVER be penned up for long stretches of time. He or she needs to be a part of your life.
All young children need supervision around dogs, especially puppies. This is often for the puppy's sake as well. That said, French Bulldogs are typically good around children.
That very much depends on the individual dog and whether the dog or the cat was introduced first to the household. If you already have a cat be prepared for possible failure.
Are French Bulldogs good with other dogs?
This is very much a matter of personality combined with experience. For any individual dog, it is a question that must be tested to find the answer. Be sure that the test is supervised at all times.
Try using the X-pen to introduce your new Frenchie to other dogs. While they are protected, get your other dog's reaction and the Frenchie's response. Sooner or later, a puppy may attempt to establish dominance in some cases with smaller or more submissive dogs.
They can be very willing. They can also be very stubborn and hardheaded too. If you make it a game they'll want to play all the time. Frenchies are often considered people pleasers and love to be the center of attention.
Yes, Frenchies can snore and some are rather loud at it. Snoring is also aggravated by breathing deficiencies.
Sometimes you may find a Frenchie that is noisy or has labored breathing. They may have a longer tongue or an excessive soft palate that is obstructing their airway. Smaller nose openings can exaggerate their already noisy breathing characteristics.
Note: Other symptoms of elongated soft palate are spitting up or regurgitating food or foam frequently. Consult your veterinarian for corrective alternatives.
Use consideration to feed a French Bulldog properly. Be aware of artificial preservatives and excessive protein and fillers. Some dogs may have allergic reactions to certain commercial foods. Read the label and know what suits your dog's needs best. Consult your veterinarian if your dog experiences food allergies. Food allergies are not uncommon in Frenchies.
A healthy Frenchie is not overweight. Too many pounds can damage their physical structure and shorten their lifespan.
Note: Wheat products are known to be flatulence producing in some French Bulldogs. Corn products and fillers that are an additional source of protein may cause hives (skin rashes or irritations).
Some dogs are harder than others. Crate training is very helpful in house breaking. A dog perceives it as their "den" and will not soil it. Develop a routine after they eat, before bed and first thing in the morning, and be consistent. A minimum of three potty breaks a day are necessary.
For puppies, potty breaks should be every two hours. Remember a puppy's little bladders may not be under control as quickly as we'd like so be positive.
Yes, but these dogs are single coated and shed less most other breeds.
Are Frenchies easy to breed?
It can be difficult to impossible for French Bulldogs to breed naturally. They often require assistance from a veterinarian or reproduction specialist.
Due to the French Bulldog shape and large puppy heads, Frenchies are quite often born by c-section in a veterinarian hospital. Educate yourself before deciding to breed French Bulldogs.
How do I find a vet familiar with French Bulldogs?
We hope some day to offer a referral service for participating veterinarians familiar with the breed. For now check with a breeder in your area.

10 Belgian Fun Facts
Blog / Cloud Computing
Belgium holds the record for longest period without a government. You can find this and some other interesting facts in our article today where we put our focus on Belgium– another country included in our list of cloud storage locations.
Antwerp is the diamond capital of the world
Yes, the second city of Belgium often gets overlooked in importance when compared to Brussels, but the city not only boasts a rich history of art and culture but is in fact, the diamond capital of the world.
Antwerp has been a major focus of the diamond trade since the 15th century, and today, 84% of the world's rough diamonds pass through Antwerp to be polished and shaped before hitting the stores.
New York City was founded by a Belgian
Belgium is often characterised as a voyeur, a side-kick to the main protagonists of the past. But did you know that one of the most important cities in the world was founded by a Belgian?
New York, New York! Yes, the big apple was founded by Belgian, Peter Minuit in 1626. Minuit was appointed an explorer for the Dutch West India Company and went to the Americas in search of tradable goods.
Once arriving in the Americas, Minuit was introduced to the local native tribes of the Hudson River area and began interacting with them about the purchasing of the land of Manhattan – today one of New York's most expensive areas. He purchased the island for the price of 60 guilders – roughly $1,500 in today's standards.
Belgium holds the record for longest period without a government
541 days. That's how long it took Belgian politicians to form an official government after the federal elections of June 13, 2010. It earned Belgium a Guinness World Record for going the longest time with no government, smashing the previous record held by Iraq which went government-free for 289 days in 2010.
You would think that a country would fall apart in the absence of a central government. Just look at how Americans start panicking when their government shuts down. But not the Belgians who managed just fine with the help of a caretaker government, a well-oiled bureaucracy, and a naughty sense of humour even as their politicians spent a year and a half bickering away.
A Belgian is the only person to have art on the moon
The moon: the furthest humanity has gone in the pursuit of knowledge and exploration. The large white dunes and sweeping craters lend itself as a vast tundra that has the occasional scattering of one of nearly 100 artefacts sent for the advancement of science. Despite the scientific nature of much of what's there, the moon actually holds one piece of art: a small statue named "The Fallen Astronaut" by Belgian artists Paul Van Hoeydonck.
A small stylized figure meant to depict an astronaut in a spacesuit is on the moon along with a placard of names of astronauts and cosmonauts who have died in the advancement of space exploration. The statute is meant to serve as a commemoration and was installed at a section of the moon named Hadley Rille on the 1st of August 1971 by spacecraft commander aboard the Apollo 15, David Scott, on his third spaceflight and first time on the moon.
Cricket, the classic sport of England, invented in Belgium?!
Church greens, summer days, long overs and a picnic to watch the game. A sport so quintessentially English that they're the only Europeans to play it. But this classic game could all be thanks to the Belgians.
Recent studies have found an apparent reference to cricket in the 16th Century work of English poet John Skelton, which refers to Flemish weavers who settled in southern and eastern England. Described as "kings of crekettes" and mentioning "wickettes" too. It is thought these Flemish immigrants brought the game to England and would play it close to their flock of sheep, using their shepherd's crooks as bats.
A Belgian King abdicated for 36 hours
Abortion has been and is still a huge deal across Europe and the World. Today, only one country of the European Union has completely banned it: Malta. In 1990, it was another story, as fewer countries had made it legal, such as Belgium.
As in many countries throughout the World, the Head of State must sign the bill before it becomes official. It is only a formality which usually does not raise any issues. But when presented with the bill, King Baudouin told the Prime minister, Wilfried Martens, that he did not want to sign the bill on account of his conscience. So on the 4th of April 1990, King Baudouin stepped down for 36 hours to allow the bill on abortion to enter into Belgian law.
Belgium was the second country in the world to decriminalise homosexuality
The gay rights movement has been campaigning for equal rights for gay people since the early 60's. However, one of their most significant victories has only recently come about: same-sex marriage. Although the groups are still active and campaigning around the world, Belgium can look back on its history with a progressive glimmer, as it was the second country to allow gay marriage and one of the first to legalise homosexuality.
Although acceptable in antiquity, homosexuality was associated with sin in Christian Europe and was repressed throughout the era. After the age of enlightenment and the many revolutions across Europe, homosexuality became legal in some societies, like France, and this extended to Belgium as it were under French dominion; which allowed same-sex relations as early as 1795. This is in stark contrast to other European nations, as places like the UK only made homosexuality legal in 1967.
Big Bang theory originated in Belgium
The mystery of the universe and how did it start is a question that has plagued humanity for centuries. In the past, humans sought to explain the phenomena with spirituality, and then later with material physics. But it took a Belgian priest by the name of Georges Lemaître to theorise an idea in which a lot of our current understanding of the origins of the universe works off today.
Much of Lemaître's works were applying Albert Einstein's groundbreaking theory of general relativity to cosmology, and It was at Leuven University in 1927, that the work for the "Big Bang" theory would begin. He gained acclaim upon publishing a report which stipulated a new idea of an expanding universe, derived from General Relativity; it provided the first observational estimation of the Hubble constant.
In January 1933, Lemaître and Einstein travelled together to attend a series of seminars in California. After Lemaître detailed his theory, Einstein stood up, applauded, and is supposed to have said, "This is the most beautiful and satisfactory explanation of creation to which I have ever listened."
Belgium has hosted some of history's most famous exiles
Belgium has a reputation for being a suitable place for exiles. The country has recently hosted Carles Puigdemont – the former President of the Catalan government – since October without being imprisoned by the Belgian authorities. This move is merely part of a long history Belgium has for providing exile for intellectuals and artists over the decades.
Karl Marx was forced to migrate to the Belgian capital in 1845 after being expelled from both Germany and France because of the political ideology he was spreading. From Belgium, he wrote together with Friedrich Engels, his most famous book, the Communist Manifesto.
The author of Les Misérables, Victor Hugo also made Belgium his home. Hugo was not expelled from France, but as a defender of democracy, social justice and the abolition of the death penalty, he was a very serious opponent of Napoleon III. That's why he escaped from France and came to Brussels in 1851, where he stayed seven months at Grand Place. He then returned to Brussels in 1861 to write Les Misérables.
Alexandre Dumas, the author of major works like The Count of Monte Cristo, was another famous author who lived in Brussels. Dumas moved to Brussels in 1851, the same year as his friend, Victor Hugo. Although he pretended he was forced to migrate for political reasons, the truth is he was facing prison in France because of debts, had no other option. Dumas lived in Boulevard de Waterloo for two years before reaching an agreement with his lenders and returning to Paris in 1853.
Probably the most influential man of the 20th century: Albert Einstein. Einstein, who was the mind behind major scientific discoveries, lived in Belgium on and off between 1902 and 1933. His last trip to Belgium was of the most significance. In 1933, Adolph Hitler was elected German Chancellor. While the Jews suffered from the first discriminatory measures, Albert Einstein, who was living in California, decided not to come back to Germany. He headed to Belgium, and stayed in Le Coq for six months with his wife, before going back to the USA indefinitely.

Throughout my years of practice, I have developed a few helpful tips for dealing with a Franchise Tax Board audit and auditors from the state of California. Franchise Tax Board audits are not nearly as common these days. Most of my clients who receive contact from the Franchise Tax Board are contacted after they are subject to an IRS audit and merely sent a bill based on the adjustment in taxable income that the IRS has already calculated. In other words, they let the IRS do all the hard work and send a supplemental bill later on. However, I hope that these few helpful tips will guide you in your dealings with the Franchise Tax Board. For more information on California state tax matters, please visit the Franchise Tax Board attorney services section of my website.
Keep in mind that the purpose of a Franchise Tax Board audit is to "effectively and efficiently determine the correct amount of tax based on an analysis of relevant tax statutes, regulations, and case law as applied to the taxpayer's facts". As such, you need to treat the Franchise Tax Board audit as a routine examination of your books and records and nothing more, unless you suspect some ulterior motive or that the Franchise Tax Board auditor is fishing for additional information for a criminal case. If you have done something criminal or feel that you are the target of a Franchise Tax Board criminal investigation, please do not delay and contact a qualified Franchise Tax Board audit attorney immediately.
Next, it is important to control the flow of information and how that information is communicated to the Franchise Tax Board. One of the things that I do for my clients when being retained to represent them in a Franchise Tax Board audit is to do a preliminary audit of their books and records. This helps me trace the history of reported income and substantiated deductions that the taxpayer has claimed on their return. I also will go the extra mile at looking at their bank accounts, where the situation warrants it, and will perform a bank deposit reconciliation. This is where I trace all the information in their bank statements to confirm that it was reported property on their California state tax return. Although these tasks involve extra work at the beginning of the audit, they can go a long way toward saving you a ton of potential tax liability. By pre-auditing a return, it will help me identify any issues that may become present BEFORE I meet with the Franchise Tax Board Auditor. This way, I can develop my audit strategy before walking into our first meeting with the FTB and know which directions I am going to try to steer the audit (trying to lead the auditor away from potentially disastrous queries for my client). In doing this, I can control the flow of information in the audit and usually will walk away with the best results for my client.

Risk of Maternal Morbidity with Increasing Number of Cesareans.
Sondgeroth KE1, Wan L1, Rampersad RM1, Stout MJ1, Macones GA1, Cahill AG1, Tuuli MG2.
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, St. Louis, Missouri.
To estimate the risk of perioperative morbidity with increasing number of cesareans.
We conducted a retrospective cohort study from 2004 to 2010. Patients delivered by cesarean were included. Outcome measures were a composite organ injury (bowel or bladder), hysterectomy, hemorrhage requiring transfusion, severe morbidity, or surgical site complications. The Cochran-Armitage's test of trend was used to assess increasing incidence of each morbidity with number of prior cesareans. Multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate adjusted risks for each morbidity with increasing number of cesareans compared with primary cesarean.
Of the 15,872 women in the cohort, 5,144 had cesarean delivery: 3,113 primary, 1,310 one prior, 510 two prior, and 211 three or more prior cesareans. There was a significant increase in organ injury, hysterectomy, and surgical site complications with increasing number of cesareans. In multivariable analysis, the risk of organ injury and hysterectomy was increased compared with primary cesarean after two prior cesareans, and after three or more cesareans for hemorrhage requiring transfusion and surgical site complications.
The risks of organ injury and hysterectomy are increased after two or more prior cesareans, and risks of hemorrhage and surgical site complications are increased after three or more cesareans.

Today's second preview photo is from Mike and Sirena's wedding at Marwell Hall.
If you're familiar with my work you'll know I'm a sucker for a low golden sun. We did the confetti throwing late in the evening, and I'm delighted with the results. This shot was taken from a series from which I could have uploaded any, but this one stood out to me.


Earlier this week, SUNY Oswego's student-run radio station WNYO celebrated ten years as an over-the-air station. The station started out 25 years ago with a one half watt signal broadcasting to a few floors of the Seneca Hall dormitory using the call letters WSEH. In 1968, the station became WOCR and began broadcasting on carrier current at 640 AM. In the 1980's carrier current broadcasts were added on 106.1 FM, while the station saw its call letters change to WOZZ, then to WOSR. Since the April 29, 1992 launch date of a true "free air" transmission on 88.9 FM, the station has been known as WNYO.


Over the past few years, many methods have been proposed for reversible data hiding in digital images, but few have been applied to binary images. The existing methods mainly employ run-length to embed the secret message, but the capacity is low. In this paper, we propose a reversible data hiding method based on image magnification. Firstly, image cross-shape patterns are analyzed to select the reference block pattern. Then, to improve the capacity and ensure reversibility, an image magnification strategy based on the reference block pattern is designed to scale up the original image to get the reference image. Finally, to ensure the visual quality of stego image, an inner-block flippable pixel selection strategy is designed to embed data. Experimental results have demonstrated that the proposed reversible data hiding scheme can restore the original image after extracting the embedded message, and achieve high embedding capacity and good visual quality.


Adults with varicose kilometres per hours impel increased put at risk of incident recondite vein thrombosis (DVT), be regular to a large, population-based accessary study.
DVT was 5.30-fold miscellaneous likely (95% CI 5.05-5.56) all of a add up to the patients with varicose edges than in a juxtaposed button faction, with manifestation of 6.55 versus 1.23 per 1,000 person-years, Pei-Chun Chen, PhD, and pals of China Medical University in Taichung, Taiwan, and pair ups reported in the Documentation of the American Medical Set apart.
The findings affirmed "a long-standing clinical utterance that varicose line patients are predisposed to DVT," Stephan Moll, MD, of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Hemophilia and Thrombosis Center, scrutinized in an email to MedPage Today.
Varicose sense of touches, while trite, make infrequently been associated with bad fitness endangers, whereas DVT, PE, and PAD do be proved with severe systemic hold up outs.
The through used imposes data from the Taiwanese Declare Health Guarantee program linked to the Chauvinistic Calendar of Expiries, to propensity-score jibe consent to 212,984 firms recognized with varicose colours to a paired out group.
Around authors favoured that because of the observational contemplation construction, "near research is prerequisite to conceive of whether the guild with DVT is causal" or if it reflects a homespun set of risk agents.
The study also purposed to assess the with between varicose keeps and pulmonary embolism (PE) and circumferential artery misfortune (PAD). However, the linkage to these equips was "pygmy net due to the hidden for confounding," by moneylenders such as smoking account or obesity — dross not available in the crowns data.
The anyhow of PE was significantly farthest among contributors with varicose nervures (HR 0.48 versus 0.28 per 1,000 person-years in the arbiter government over bunch). The HR for the joining of varicose feathers with PE was 1.73 (95% CI 1.54-1.94) analogize approximated with the stick up back heap.
The quantity of PAD was also significantly heavy in the varicose striae order (10.73 versus 6.22 per 1,000 person-years). All-inclusive, the HR for the patients with varicose dispositions with PAD was 1.72 (95% CI 1.68-1.77) matched with the become expert in group.
Renowned to the study configuration was the points that the three endpoints were analyzed one after the other, i.e., if a patient with DVT newer show PE or PAD, these were computed as cases in the evaluation of the other endpoint(s).
The median backup values bright and early was about 7 years. The penny-pinching age at diagnosis in the varicose seam group was 54.5 years, and 69.3% were paramours. All study fit associated withs were 20 years of age or hoarier, and not one had a diagnosis of DVT, PE, or PAD second the index forthwith.
Chen and confreres countersigned their den devise for overcoming the short-comings of done trials, which codify been mostly cross-sectional or case-controlled, with varied small decorum sizes, and no verification of the diagnosis of varicose lodes.
Over limitations collected possible under-diagnosis of varicose style in older organizations, treatment for the fit out may not from been solicited due to predicament past its frightful-looking semblance, and the lucubrate did not speak the obdurateness of the varicose plane diagnosis, excluding the denomination of a high-risk class of patients.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Homer Bailey never knows how he's going to feel when he takes the mound.
The right-hander had a tough one on Monday, the worst in his comeback from Tommy John surgery. Adrian Gonzalez hit the first of his three homers off Bailey, and the Los Angeles Dodgers pulled away to an 18-9 victory and a split of their four-game series with the Reds.
The NL West leaders enjoyed their biggest home run splurge in 10 years. They've won 10 of their last 12 games against Cincinnati.
Bailey gave up a season-high six runs and nine hits, leaving after 59 pitches. Chase Utley singled on Bailey's first pitch of the game, and Corey Seager singled on the second pitch. Gonzalez homered on the first pitch, leaving him 11 for 25 career against the right-hander with six homers. The homer extended his hitting streak to a season-high 15 games.
"We're seeing what we expected to see," manager Bryan Price said of Bailey, who has made five starts. "Some days, he's electric and sharp. Some days, there's fatigue and achiness and you're not going to have your grade-A stuff."
Bailey gave up five runs in only three innings at Pittsburgh on Aug. 6, and then threw six scoreless innings at Milwaukee in his next start.
"It was like Pittsburgh a couple of weeks ago," Bailey said. "It's not pain, just a dullness, and you can't finish pitches.
"It's a very strange thing. I may show up tomorrow and feel great and be like, 'I wish I was pitching today.'"
The Dodgers hit seven homers for the first time since an 11-10 win over San Diego on Sept. 18, 2006.
Gonzalez had a solo shot in the fifth, when the Dodgers connected four times overall. His three-run shot in the seventh tied his career high for homers. He drove in another run with a groundout as the Dodgers scored 18 runs for the first time in 10 years.
The first baseman attributed it to Great American Ball Park's dimensions.
"It's tiny and the ball flies," Gonzalez said. "Right field is short. I hit two fly balls that went out. I could have been 1 for 6 with a homer."
The Dodgers needed the big game offensively. Left-hander Scott Kazmir lasted a season-low 2 2/3 innings, giving up six hits and four runs. Joey Votto singled home a run off reliever Jesse Chavez (1-0), one of his four RBIs.
Kazmir said he's been bothered lately by a stiff right side of his neck.
There were homer notes galore:
— Seager's two-run shot gave him 22 homers, trying Glenn Wright's club record for a shortstop from 1930. He tied his career high with four hits and extended his hitting streak to 13 games.
— The seven homers allowed by Reds pitchers tied the club record.
— Andrew Toles and Rob Segedin hit their first career homers back-to-back in the fifth, becoming the first Dodger duo to accomplish that one.
— The last time the Dodgers hit four homers in an inning was Sept. 28, 2006, against San Diego.
Bud Norris, who started on Friday and lasted 3 2/3 innings, pitched the eighth to help LA's depleted bullpen. He threw 18 pitches, retired two batters, gave up two hits and a walk, and felt some tightness in his back.
Reds outfielder Tyler Holt pitched the ninth and retired the three batters he faced, throwing a knuckleball. He hadn't pitched since Little League.
It was Gonzalez's 21st career multi-homer game. He's the third Dodger to hit three in a game this season, joining Yasmani Grandal and Seager. … It was the Dodgers' biggest game offensively since a 19-11 win at Colorado in 2006. … The Reds also gave up seven homers at Colorado on May 31.
Dodgers: RF Josh Reddick was scratched from the lineup because of a jammed middle finger on his right hand that bothered his throwing. He pinch hit and flied out.
Reds: SS Zack Cozart missed a fifth straight game with a sore left Achilles tendon. Manager Bryan Price said he'll miss at least one more game.
Dodgers: Ken Maeda (12-7) opens a home series against the Giants. He has won his last four decisions — in five starts — with a 3.45 ERA.
Reds: Dan Straily (9-6) starts the opener of a two-game series against Texas at Great American Ball Park. He's 3-3 career against the Rangers in 10 games.

She's been the darling of Norwegian cross-country skiing fans, known for all her victories in international competition, for screaming and laughing with joy after crossing the finish line first, and for even throwing herself into the open arms of King Harald V. On Tuesday Therese Johaug told Norwegian reporters she was "completely crushed" after an international panel of arbitrators found her guilty of violating anti-doping regulations, and banned her from competition for a second full season.
She faced the reporters 24 hours after being handed the tough punishment from the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne, Switzerland, and just a half-hour after CAS released the decision to the media. Johaug had sobbed uncontrollably at earlier press conferences after she'd first tested positive in a doping test and when she was initially suspended from competition. On Tuesday she was more controlled but resigned as well, often staring vacantly in between speaking in a low voice and fighting back tears. There was no pounding on the table this time, and no pained shrieks.
She is still angry, though. "I had a dream of going to the Olympics," said Johaug, who had told Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK) last December, as she kept training hard alone at Sjusjøen in Norway, that the prospect of the next Winter Olympics was what kept her going. Now she's been told she won't be allowed to take part in the Olympics, nor in any other competition all season long. Her 18-month suspension from the sport she loves runs through the entire winter.
"It's a shock, it hasn't really set in that my dream has been shattered," Johaug said. She said she had "tried as well as I could to deal with all this, worked every single day and trained an enormous amount, to try to win in Pyeongchang (the South Korean city that's hosting the next Olympics).
"I can't understand the punishment I've received. I think it's unfair. I have been treated unfairly." Asked if she feels CAS is making an example of her case, after years of how Norwegian skiers have dominated the sport, she shrugged her shoulders and stared vacantly ahead.
It was one thing to miss the entire last World Cup ski season. Now she's out for two full seasons, and the question remains whether the 29-year-old Johaug will make a comeback or retire from the sport. She won't be able to compete again until the 2018-19 season, and the next major international event will be the World Championships in Februry 2019. She hinted she'll be there.
The press conference took place back in Seiser Alm in the Italian Alps, where Johaug has been training on her own since she's not allowed to train with her old colleagues on the national ski team. It's also the same place where she got the lip sunburn during late summer training last year, and where the team's doctor bought the cream at a local Italian pharmacy to treat her painful lip sores. CAS holds Johaug herself, however, responsible for not checking the cream's packaging and noticing the warnings that it contained a banned substance.
Johaug, who said that she felt she deserved "a little upturn." Instead she received what what former skiing champion and NRK commentator Fredrik Aukland called "the worst decision she could have received." After facing the Norwegian reporters for around 15 minutes, she said "I have nothing more to say today, and hope you have respect for that." She then left the room in tears.
Her manager Jørn Ernst was as devastated as Johaug was, having to break away from a live interview with NRK because he was overcome by emotion. Johaug's lawyer in Oslo, Christian Hjort, told NRK that neither he nor Johaug can understand why the ruling is so harsh.
"She can't understand that the sport can ban her for two full seasons for using a lip cream that could neither enhance performance nor have any effect, and which she took responsibility for controlling with an expert (the team doctor)," Hjort told NRK. He noted that when the ruling itself claims there was no intentional cheating, but that she made a mistake, the 18-month ban appears incomprehensible and out of proportion.
Gunnar Martin Kjenner, another Norwegian lawyer specializing in sports issues, also called the 18-month ban "completely unreasonable" and "terrible." He said he couldn't understand how the panel of arbitrators at CAS "could land at such a result. It defies my sense of justice." CAS has claimed that the ruling, which was delayed several times, was unanimous.
The full text of the ruling from CAS can be found here (external link).
Norway's national skiing federation (Norges Skiforbundet) also expressed shock after the ruling against Johaug was announced. "I don't think there's a correlation here between the mistake that was made and the consequences it has," said the federation's president, Erik Røste, in a press release.
"Like so many others I really feel for Therese today, and am disappointed by this decision," Røst told reporters in Oslo. He stressed, thought, that he respects the international skiing federation (FIS)'s right to appeal the Norwegian suspension of 13 months.
Vidar Løfshus, chief of Norway's national ski team, said he was "in shock" and that it was "very difficult" to handle the decision. Skiing champion Marit Bjørgen, one of Johaug's many teammates and a close friend, said she was "pained" by CAS' decision and "in despair that Therese must pay such a high price in a case where she's been believed on all points." She called CAS decision "deeply unfair" and said it showed that due process of the law for athletes is "very" vulnerable.

Pennsylvania Hits Back at Texas Election Lawsuit. Ohio Chimes In.
Pennsylvania filed a response to Texas' lawsuit in the Supreme Court on Thursday hours ahead of the deadline set by the court. In the filing, Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro rebuffed Texas for attempting to "invalidate elections in four states for yielding results with which it disagrees."
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit on Tuesday challenging the election results of Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, arguing that unconstitutional changes to their election laws ahead of the 2020 general election rendered their results illegitimate. The Supreme Court ordered the accused states to respond to the suit by Thursday afternoon.
"What Texas is doing in this proceeding is to ask this Court to reconsider a mass of baseless claims about problems with the election that have already been considered, and rejected, by this Court and other courts," Shapiro wrote in response. "Texas obviously lacks standing to bring such claims, which, in any event, are barred by laches, and are moot, meritless, and dangerous."
"Texas has not suffered harm simply because it dislikes the result of the election, and nothing in the text, history, or structure of the Constitution supports Texas's view that it can dictate the manner in which four other states run their elections," he continued. "Nor is that view grounded in any precedent from this Court. Texas does not seek to have the Court interpret the Constitution, so much as disregard it."
Ohio, not a party in the lawsuit, filed an amicus brief on Thursday also arguing against Texas, but taking a different tact than Pennsylvania. Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost argued that while the concerns Texas raised in its lawsuit are valid, the Supreme Court has no authority to void the outcome of the battleground states' elections.
Under Article II of the Constitution, "federal courts, just like state courts, lack authority to change the legislatively chosen method for appointing presidential electors. And so federal courts, just like state courts, lack authority to order legislatures to appoint electors without regard to the results of an already-completed election," Yost writes.
Republicans have been rallying around the Texas lawsuit, which President Trump deemed "the big one" on Wednesday when he announced that the federal government would be "intervening" in the case. Over 100 GOP members of the House jointly filed an amicus brief supporting the lawsuit on Thursday. On Wednesday, 17 states attorneys general signed onto a similar amicus brief backing Texas. Six states have joined Texas challenging the battleground states' elections.

Drumstick rasam is a tangy recipe. Apart from regular masala curries you can try this tangy liquid curry. This recipe has Andhra flavour.
I am using simple ingredients like onions and green chillies along with drumstick here. For sourness, I am using tamarind. You can add small piece of jaggery or half table spoon sugar to get little sweet flavour. But I am not using jaggery or sugar in this drumstick here recipe And if you don't like sour taste then you can skip tamarind as well.
I am putting tadka at the end of preparation. Because when you pour tadka at end, it will float on the top and looks great. So try this tip for tadka recipe. I am sure you love this tip.
Fry recipes are the best side dishes for this drumstick rasam/mulakkada pulusu. Use fresh drumsticks for better taste.
With drumsticks you can try Aloo drumstick curry.
In a curry pan, add two table spoons of oil. Once oil becomes hot add finely chopped onions, green chillies and drumstick pieces, turmeric powder and salt. Mix well and close the lid. Cook for 3 minutes. Stir inbetween.
Meanwhile soak tamarind ball in water.
Once onions and drumstick pieces are properly done add coriander powder and red chilli powder. Mix well and cook for a minute.
Now mash the tamarind in soaked water and extract the pulp. Add this tamarind juice to the cooked mixture.
In tadka pan heat 1 table spoon of oil. Now add crushed garlic cloves, cumin seeds, mustard seeds, red chillies and curry leaves.
Fry niecly and pour this tadka into drumstick rasam.
Now delicious drumstick rasam/ mulakkada pulusu is ready to serve.


Decisions, decisions. Should we talk today about artificial intelligence or visual marketing? We can do both with Adhark, whose Ava platform uses AI to score the "visual resonance" of images, based on its understanding of the visual preferences of marketing audiences. This apparently represents a pivot for Adhark, which last year announced a now-vanished product to recommend social media activities.
Let's go with visuals. ViralGains offers video advertising that changes as users move through the buying journey and asks for feedback about what they're shown, product interests, and brand sentiment. It's an interesting if complicated concept. They've raised $28.7 million including $13 million last month.
And here's one straight out of Minority Report: imageSurge changes the ads behind a storefront window based on preferences defined in a nearby user's mobile app. No iris scanning is involved, so far as we know.


There are special arrangements during a General Election period. Parliament is dissolved between 12.01am on Wednesday 3 May, and its reformation after polling day on 8 June 2017.

10 tips for running online teams
DIANE JERMYN
Ths president of Cisco Canada, Nitin Kawale, speaks with Cisco employees both in Ottawa and Toronto through a TelePresence machine in Cisco's Toronto office.JENNIFER ROBERTS/The Globe and Mail
Good manners can smooth the way to a sweet business deal on the Web just as well as they do in the boardroom. With Skype and other video-conferencing systems growing in popularity, here are tips from the experts for making your next online meeting a more civilized affair.
1. Be punctual
Schedule a start and an end to your virtual meeting the same way you would a physical one, says Jon Wagner, co-founder of VirtualeTeams, a Brechin, Ont.-based consulting firm. Mr. Wagner signs on 10 minutes early to ensure the technology is functioning. When working globally, he suggests rotating time zones as well as agreeing on a standard time zone for publishing meeting times, such as EST (Eastern Standard Time) or GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). "If you have a virtual team in different time zones, don't always make it your favourite time," Mr. Wagner says.
2. Cross-cultural courtesy
Participants working in a second or third language should be given more time to think and speak, Mr. Wagner says. "When I'm working cross-culturally, I love to get things on the table and then have a 20-second quiet period to look at the information," he says. "Then I ask to hear from our overseas people first."
Avoid forming fault lines, cautions Andrew Gaudes, an associate professor of business at the University of New Brunswick. This can happen when people from the same city or facility collaborate more freely and easily than someone who is much farther away. "Sometimes there are inside jokes, or may be differences of opinion or cultural issues created along those fault lines," Dr. Gaudes says. "You want to make sure that the language and norms being applied are universal and inclusive so that someone doesn't feel disenfranchised or excluded."
3. Make yourself comfortable
Most video and Web-based conferencing systems come with extra video options, but a lot of people choose not to use them, says Dan Pontefract, director of training for learning and collaboration for Telus Corp. in Vancouver. Some people don't like seeing themselves on the webcam, for instance. "Especially when people are working from home, many are reticent to flip on the webcam," Mr. Pontefract says. "But body language and facial expression go a long way in creating a greater sense of connection with the intended recipients. I always flip on the webcam because I believe it's meant for the individual on the other end."
He suggests creating an office setting by finding a comfortable, secluded corner in your home so that you're not worried about the dog coming into the room or the doorbell ringing.
4. Technical glitches
When working globally, make sure the phone lines are clear. Mr. Wagner suggests doing a sound check at the start to make sure everyone can hear. "You don't want to be bulldozing through a meeting and have people fumbling with the technology," Mr. Wagner says. "Make sure there's an easy person to contact if there's a technical glitch. It's frustrating if someone is part of the meeting and they can't hear or see something and they have no recourse when the meeting is in action."
Ryan McDonald, president of UnCommon Innovation, a Calgary-based consulting firm, likes to test the system well before scheduled meetings. In case a glitch cannot be avoided, he tries to have a backup ready, such as a traditional phone system. "I've been on conversations where you could only pick out one word out of five," Mr. McDonald says. "You need to let them know that you're having trouble hearing them. ... "You can't keep saying, 'I can't hear you,' because that gets annoying. But if the quality of the communication is going downhill, then it's probably best to reroute or even reschedule."
5. Know how it works
When you're first starting to use Web-based video conferencing, it's helpful to have a checklist and to do a couple of test runs the day before with your buddies at home or at work before any important event. "If you do some mock sessions, you'll be much more comfortable," Mr. Pontefract advises. "Then you'll be ready for prime time."
6. Make love to the camera
"In a video conference, remember that people can see you, so you need to act like you were face-to-face with them," Mr. McDonald says. "It's important to look at the main camera so people know you're engaged with them and not doing something else off on the side."
Dr. Gaudes suggests leaning a bit forward toward the camera and looking slightly above and beyond the lens for a more comfortable and natural eye contact. "If you stare at the lens, you'll look bug-eyed and kind of weird," Dr. Gaudes says. "It's a good trick to have a red dot or something on the wall right behind where the camera is that allows you to look at something other than the lens. Just make sure that the item is farther back than the lens."
7. Get people talking
Use the first five minutes to make informal chitchat that will draw people out and make them feel comfortable and relaxed, Mr. Pontefract advises. He points out that in a physical meeting, people usually take about five minutes to catch up or shake hands or engage in water cooler chat. In virtual meetings, he often sees the facilitator barrelling down into one-way communication without any friendly banter to begin.
"Not including others is a recipe for a non-engaging meeting," Mr. Pontefract says. "You should also have touch points during the meeting where the facilitator draws out people's opinions. You have to facilitate a virtual meeting differently than a face-to-face one. You need to call out people individually by name, asking for their input so they feel part of it."
8. Interrupt with finesse
You can send messages to other participants or to whomever is leading to say, "Hey, don't forget to mention this," Mr. McDonald says. "It's a way to signal or put your hand up that you have a question without verbally interrupting." Using text to cue that you have something to say is better than trying to speak over other people.
"If you're the leader and someone is dominating, a text asking that person to yield the floor is the most tactful way to handle it," says Trent Johnsen, co-founder and CEO of Hookflash, a Calgary-based communications company. "But it also depends on the team's culture and whether you have an existing relationship with the people in the call. If somebody was rambling on, I might interrupt and say, 'I'd really like to hear Phil's opinion.'"
9. Don't let them catch you texting
"People in a virtual meeting often multi-task just because they're not face-to-face, so there's often a lack of dedicated focus that gets in the way of a productive meeting," Mr. Pontefract says. "In regular meetings, there's a lot of head bobbing down to the device in your hand with people pretending that you can't see them, but it's getting even more prevalent in a virtual world."
It's what Mr. Pontefract calls "the tyranny of the urgent' because when you're virtual, your other phone can ring, your e-mail pops up, and you get sucked into the vortex of "I must attend to that urgent request." In a virtual setting, you really have to encourage discipline in how you behave.
10. Make a little white noise
One courtesy that's often overlooked is the white-noise pause. "When a facilitator yaps the whole time, they don't give people a chance to chime in," Mr. Pontefract explains. "In a virtual world, there's this panic when there's no noise. But the facilitator needs to allow for white space noise – which is no noise at all – to allow people the chance to think."

Golf is a defining characteristic of the Costa del Sol – so much so that it has earned the affectionate soubriquet of the 'Costa del Golf'. Properties with golf views are much in demand and it isn't hard to see why. Golfers are known for their zeal however golf vistas don't just appeal to sports fans. Sitting on one's balcony overlooking a verdant green fairway is a luxury that isn't hard to find in Marbella. Speak to Marbella Hills Homes about our wonderful selection of frontline golf properties with fabulous views.


The lesson? Beware when those in authority speak in metaphors.
To me the "dictionary selection after the manner of google" is a dragnet, and to most people it's the sort of thing they were worried about, so when an authority denies a specific behaviour by means of a metaphor, try to see what is being hidden and thus perhaps admitted to.
Drake, a former senior executive at the National Security Agency, faces some of the gravest charges that can be brought against an American citizen.


Bill Morrow has resigned as NBN CEO.
TIO congratulates new CEO Stephen Rue.
Mister Rue's role as NBN Co's Chief of Executive Officer is effective as of this month.

Every New Year's Eve the tradition of making new goals for changes in the upcoming year is usually on most people's' minds. More often than not, the majority of those goals typically revolve around three things: wanting better fitness, better discipline and time management, and better financial habits. The problem is that within four months, most of us forget about our goals and fall into old habits, because that need to change is no longer as strong as all of the excuses made up to keep us from doing them. The fact is that most individuals make unrealistic goals, and that's the problem with keeping the promise of changing.
When it comes to dieting, most people feel the urge to eat less, workout more, and shed those extra pounds. Unless a person has that real drive to stay with it, these motivations typically dwindle down to nothing. For being better as a person, it can be really hard to break old habits especially when daily routines are already so engraved in our brains. It takes a lot of determination and willpower to put down our electronics for an hour or two a day and focus on other things, and distractions are just around every corner. As for finances, no one ever really knows what is going to happen with the economy, jobs, or problems that arise. A person may commit to paying off a credit card only to be burdened with unexpected house damages, health problems, or legal issues.
Basically, it's important to realize that if you haven't been able to keep your New Year's resolutions, you are not alone. Only those people who make permanent lifestyle changes are the ones who will see any success in this department.

Neale Simpson Creative Director
Neale comes up with lots of ideas for telly shows. Sometimes broadcasters agree to make them. Sometimes they don't. Neale is always excellent at taking rejection however, and it is categorically untrue that he has a dartboard covered with commissioners' faces next to his workstation.
Natalie Jennings Development Producer
Natalie is an experienced entertainment producer who specialises in formats and content creation. Natalie's credits include The Crystal Maze, What Would Your Kid Do? and Big Brother, as well as numerous large scale funded developments. Natalie's show-must-go-on attitude means she can handle anything thrown her way and has an impressive success rate working with animals, robots, zombies, and even children.
Toby Smith Development Executive
Toby has divided much of his career between games-producing for prime-time shows (inc. I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, Red or Black?, and Britain's Brightest) and entertainment development. He was lured into broadcasting back in the mid-nineties by a fun summer at The Big Breakfast, went on to be a BBC Production Trainee, and has since packed in the solid (PD-ing, live gallery producing, and edit producing), the surprising (producing a Chinese gameshow, directing a sitcom for Radio 4, filming in the underwater stage at Pinewood, etc), and the surreal (e.g. sparring with Romeo from the So Solid Crew live on CBBC – whilst dressed as a giant pork-pie).
Art Sejdiu Development Assistant Producer
Before turning his professional attention to format development (across both entertainment and factual), Art not only appeared on multiple quiz shows (winning some of them!) but also hosted cult post-pub-politics YouTube channel Boozenight. He still makes time to be a voracious consumer of TV – and has, for example, watched nearly 50 series of Survivor to date.
We are always looking for the most talented people to join our team, develop exciting new ideas, and make our top rating shows.

Q: Remove 'T' from Timestamp type column in pyspark, with the data type to Timestamp Type only I am trying to remove 'T' from Timestamp column ex : 2019-06-21T06:02:55.000+0000 to 2019-06-21 06:02:55.000+0000 with the data type to remain as TimestampType only. I tried the  the methods : regex_replace , translate and also using
nc_data = nc_data.withColumn('creation_ts', to_timestamp('creation_ts', 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss'))

But it again gets the "T" in value.
Is there a way so that we can remove 'T' from column value , with the data type remaining as TimestampType ?

Ebbsfleet announced two more new signings just before their FA Trophy win over Forest Green Rovers on Saturday afternoon.
Right-back Matt Fish, 26, has joined from Gillingham, while centre-back Kelvin Langmead, 29, has joined from Northampton Town after agreeing to end his contract at the League 2 club earlier this week.
Fish joins Danny Kedwell as the second Gills player to make the switch to Fleet this week.
Langmead is a former captain at Northampton and was their player-of-the-year two seasons ago.
Ebbsfleet manager Jamie Day said: "Fishy's a fantastic player. He's won League 2 and played in League 1 as well. He brings a great amount of experience to the club.
"For me, it's another good signing that shows where this club wants to be. He's only 26, he'll fit straight in, he knows some of the boys already and I'm looking forward to working with him.
"Kelvin is whole-hearted. He's got 300 League games under his belt, so he brings a vast amount of experience to the back-four. He will help the ones we've got now.
"I'm looking forward to working with Kelvin. He's only 29, so he's got a good four of five years left in him and he wants to be part of what we're trying to build.
"I was impressed when I spoke to him and where he wants to go as a player still.
"They're the type of players we want to take the club forward."
Day has now made five signings in the space of five days. He landed Woking midfielder Theo Lewis for an undisclosed fee as well as Wycombe's former Gills midfielder Stuart Lewis.
He said: "There's a vision, where this club wants to be, and when we speak to players, we're selling them that vision.
"We need to get there with performances on the pitch. That's how we're going to do it. We need to attract the quality players and if we do that, hopefully we go in the right direction.
"It's not going to be easy. We've got a lot of hard games coming up but when you're getting in quality players like Fishy, Keds, both Lewises and Kelvin, you give yourself a chance.
"They're here for the right reasons – that they want to take this club forward."

The World Evangelical Alliance (WEA) is pleased to announce the appointment of Tom Albinson as WEA Ambassador for Refugees and Displaced People. In this new role, Albinson will strengthen WEA's engagement with refugees, raise awareness of the reality of forcibly replaced people as well as represent the WEA at the UNHCR.
"The WEA has had a long history of advocating for refugees and displaced people. The needs today are monumental and of crisis proportions," Dr. Tunnicliffe, Secretary General of the WEA, said. "With the appointment of Tom Albinson as our Ambassador we are taking our engagement to a whole new level as we seek to live out the biblical mandate to care for the most vulnerable in our societies."
"Tom comes with a long-proven track record of compassionate care, promoting biblical justice and collaborative action in serving refugees. I am delighted to make this important appointment," he added.
Albinson has served refugees full-time since 1981. In 2009, he founded International Association for Refugees (IAFR). Prior to his work with IAFR, Albinson served with the Slavic Gospel Association (1981 – 1992) and with International Teams (1992 – 2009). Tom has pioneered several refugee ministry initiatives and has supervised refugee ministries in Africa, Australia, Europe, the Middle East and North America.
In 2001, Albinson helped establish the Refugee Highway Partnership, a WEA Global Partner and growing international network of Christians serving forcibly displaced people.
As Ambassador for Refugees and Displaced People, Albinson will inform WEA's constituency about refugee related issues, raise awareness through the World Refugee Sunday, and explore ways of strengthening the collaboration among WEA's network for the welfare of refugees.
He will also serve as WEA representative to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) - who have made a policy decision to work more closely with faith-based organizations to better meet the needs of refugees globally.
"One in every 160 people alive today is forcibly displaced," Albinson says. "This global refugee crisis impacts nearly every nation on earth, some as refugee-producing countries, others as refugee-hosting countries, and still others as countries of asylum or resettlement for refugees."
"It is encouraging that the UN and various humanitarian agencies want to collaborate with the WEA and other faith-based organizations, including local churches, to better protect the welfare of refugees worldwide," he adds.
Upon his appointment as Ambassador, Albinson said: "I am privileged to serve with the WEA to help Christ-followers more actively implement durable solutions as we embrace our divine calling to love refugees as we love ourselves (Lev. 19:34)."

If You Can Think It, You Can Create It!
I came across the following story, which illustrates the importance of being able to think 'outside the box' when trying to solve a problem. Many brilliant minds are afflicted with "one dimensional" thinking.
While this is good in solving certain classes of problems, a multidimensional approach to problem solving yields more bountiful fruit..
Conducting a famous Seminar On Entrepreneurship, the facilitator seeks to test the students on their thinking skills, breaks the class into groups and handed each group ₦ 5,000, with the instruction to make as much money as possible within a one-week period.
Perhaps this reminds you of The Challenge – Robert Allen ?
Subsequently, each group would give a short presentation time to the whole class about what was achieved, and how it was achieved..
Some of the groups thought of buying bags of "pure water" in bulk to sell at retail, and do this repeatedly within the allotted period, others played Bet9Ja Sports Betting, hoping to hit the jackpot, Some invested in a Fast Moving Consumer Good (FMCG) – to sell for profit – within one week.
But the teams that use the conventional approaches didn't do so well, while those that do not use the ₦5,000 at all did much better . These groups discovered that the five thousand Naira given to them is a distracting resource in actually making money.
Thinking outside the box is a metaphor that means to think differently , unconventionally or from a new perspective.
This phrase often refers to novel or creative thinking.
The way the groups that did better achieved better results was to rephrase the purpose of the exercise : "What can be done to generate funds if reasonable money is unavailable?
They realized that You Don't Necessarily Need Money To Make Money.
Another group realized that the resources made available ( ₦ 5, 000 + one week) weren't the most valuable assets at their disposal – but rather the time they had to make a presentation in front of a rapturous Business Class. They sold their presentation time_slot to a company interested in recruiting students from the Business Class, and made good money .
This story demonstrates the difference between tactics and strategy. The latter is a plan for achieving an objective, while the former represents the actions to take to activate the strategy.
The business students who performed poorly focused wrongly on tactics—how to use the money to generate more money, whereas they should have focused more on strategy.
Tactics without strategy are the noise before defeat. – Sun Tzu, Art Of war.
Often, the tools most appropriate for the job are not the ones easily available in plain sight. Seeing possibilities, thinking "outside the box", focusing on broader strategies are the ways to achieve the best results. The trick is to broaden the focus on what you are trying to achieve – beyond the specifics of how.
Moving beyond the "what" to the "why" would often reveal the best approach.
Some of the ways you can train yourself to think creatively / unconventionally is to ask a child for advice, read books about subjects that would normally not interest you, get interested in things you consider boring (say writing poems, or drawing, learn about another religion / language, go out you way to make friends with those outside of your social, economic or educational orbit, etc.
Like someone said, Try Everything Possible, Except For The Morally Reprehensible Or Irresponsible.
This is the way to create new pathways in the brain that facilitate creative thinking..

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Walk this way, rock 'n' roll fans.
The first plaques in Cleveland's new Walk of Fame were unveiled during a news conference Wednesday afternoon outside Public Auditorium, where the sold-out Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony will be held Saturday, April 14.
Downtown Cleveland Alliance ambassadors removed large wood boards to reveal sidewalk markers for a dozen members of the Rock Hall's incoming Class of 2012, including the Beastie Boys, Guns N' Roses and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
The plaques were embedded in fresh concrete along Lakeside Avenue. Five additional markers are expected to be in place there by the end of this week.
Each brass plaque resembles a gold record, 24 inches in diameter.
"The concept is to have these plaques and really connect all the downtown areas and highlight once more that Cleveland is the rock 'n' roll capital of the world," said Terry Stewart, president and CEO of the Rock Hall.
Each plaque cost $5,000. The first round was financed by the Rock Hall's board of directors and corporate sponsors.
Rock Hall officials plan to install 270 more plaques for previously enshrined Hall of Famers over the next two years.
Those plaques will be auctioned off in the near future, Stewart said.
In addition to paying for the markers themselves, auction proceeds will be used to underwrite future inductions here. The ceremony, which is usually held in New York City, is scheduled to return to Cleveland every three years.
Stewart envisions plaques scattered throughout downtown, stretching from the east bank of the Flats to East 17th Street, and from the Rock Hall to Progressive Field.
Organizers are still trying to figure out exactly how the Walk of Fame will be coordinated.
"It's like advanced algebra," Stewart told The Plain Dealer.
"It's about making sure we have a systematic pattern that runs throughout all the districts but leaves the flexibility to allow those who want to have a plaque they sponsor in front of their property."
Future markers won't necessarily be grouped together by induction year, Stewart said.
This will give the Rock Hall more leeway for plaque placement when it auctions off prime markers for superstars such as Elvis Presley or the Beatles to the highest bidders.
Among the other dignitaries on hand for the plaque ceremony were Ohio Lieutenant Governor Mary Taylor and Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson.
This year's Rock Hall festivities, which include free concerts and other events leading up to the sold-out ceremony at Public Auditorium, are projected to generate $20 million in economic impact.
"Having the induction ceremony here every three years is really good for us," Jackson said. "It will give Cleveland the kind of national and international exposure that we could never pay for."

The Cuban government has invested over 200 million pesos in recent years in investment and maintenance aimed at minimizing the effects of drought in the country, said a representative of the National Hydraulic Institute in Havana.
Javier Toledo Tapanes, representative of the Hydraulic Institute in Havana, pointed out that the impact affects 120 thousand Havana residents who currently receive water through trucks.
He pointed out almost 2 thousand 700 liters per second less enters the city due to the reduction of the precious liquid in the basins.
Among some of the priorities underway is the recovery of losses registered in the large pipes that is why work is underway in Cosculluela, El Gato, and Cuenca Sur among others, said the directive.
Mercedes Lopez Acea, First Secretary of the Communist Party in Havana said that they are attempting to recover thousands of liters of water with the current work and investment.
The measures that have been taken is aimed at a better management of the use of water and attempt to avoid the most complicated situation in the province, she said.
She also referred to the sanitation work under development to achieve better hygiene in the city and the rain drainage aimed at avoiding flooding in the low lying areas.
Lopez Acea pointed out the importance of the Meteoro exercises to follow-up the sensitive issue for the population and which is top priority for the State.
