In the early days of my management career in the hotel industry, there was a standard practice that seems to have fallen by the wayside, and I can't imagine why. Well, I take that back, I think I know why. It's a thing called 'cost' when the cost of a lost opportunity isn't factored into it for the over-riding veto power it has.
Used to be we didn't waste the lost opportunity of an empty hotel room. If we didn't fill it up for the night, we couldn't save up that lost 'room night' and sell it later; if you have a 400-room hotel, it's always a 400-room hotel; not a 320-room hotel on Tuesday night and a 480-room hotel on Wednesday.
There was a greater benefit to having someone enjoy a good night's sleep in that room as opposed to keeping it empty, so we'd fill it with one of our employees and their family. For that night we conveniently forgot they worked for us and treated them like the most important guest there was. In the process we gave them something priceless: Empathy for the guest they'd be serving the next day they went back to work.
Allowing staff to wear the shoes of the customer as often as possible is the very best training there is. With empathy they sharpen their anticipation of what the customer will need or may want before that customer has to ask for it, or wonder why it's missing.
These are things that are so obvious to you; Mr. & Mrs. Normal Customer. Why not to them?
Better anticipation is just the half of it: Empathy is the germinating seed of new ideas with which to serve your customer in ways that seem too small to be considered mission-critical strategic initiatives, but taken altogether give you a competitive edge in the sea of mediocrity that degrades 'industry standards.' Raising that bar with customer service may be as easy as asking your staff to pilot the ideas they thought of while they took their own little road trip through your product offerings.
Look for every opportunity you have for your employees to be the customers you practice on, and then milk that experience for all it's worth. Ask them to share everything about it they can with you: What could have been cleaner? What could have been faster (or less rushed)? What was missing? Was anything a hassle or inconvenience? Did they have to look for something themselves, or ask for something that should have been graciously offered? What can they think of to improve what they enjoyed? Did they enjoy it, or was it just so-so? If they had paid full price, would they have felt it was worth it? Did anything blow them away? If not, why not? Was there any way they used their 'insider's advantage' revealing the missing elements that first-time guests need to be clued in to?
Believe me, empathy is the trainer you should be paying overtime premiums to!
Hmmm … odd that this coffee-maker in my room is nowhere near an electrical outlet.

The Berrics founders Eric Koston and Steve Berra are now 100% back in control of their company.
Established in 2007, The Berrics was a portmanteau of the founders' names — Berra and Eric.
Back in 2018, Hypebeast acquired the majority stake in The Berrics. Hypebeast is a Hongkong listed company founded by Kevin Ma in 2005. It started out as a sneaker blog and became an online magazine covering fashion, culture, and other topics and also ventured into retail among other businesses.
But after five years, it appears that the partnership didn't go that well. In their statement, Berra and Koston said they had little control over their company.
Contrary to popular belief, it's been almost 5 years since we've effectively had any influence over what we created, how it was run, what we made and what it stood for. Five years forced to the sidelines, largely silent, being told what we can and cannot do… or else suffer the consequences. Suffice to say, it was painful watching and experiencing some of the things that transpired.
The two also mentioned that The Berrics website, social, content, and e-commerce will all undergo changes. They also thanked everyone who supported the company through the years.
The first Abloh Skateboarding Invitational was held in Miami's Lot 11 Skate Park last December 4 in honor of Virgil Abloh.

The event was organized by Architecture, Abloh's Nike-housed creative studio. It featured cash for trick contest, food trucks, live DJ, and a professional skateboarder demonstration from the dozens of professional skateboarders in attendance.
Zion Wright, Ishod Wair, Dashawn Jordan, and Sal Barbier were among the attendees of the said invitational.
Abloh died in November 2021 after his battle with cancer.
Before his death, he was involved in the building of Ghana's first ever skatepark which opened in December last year. Abloh is of Ghanian descent.

These Runners Take Inspiration From Boston Marathon Champion Lelisa Desisa

By Jeb Sharp
They're both 18, both high-school seniors in Massachusetts, both headed into their final season on the track team competing in the mile and two-mile. If you see one running, you'll probably see the other.
Daniel Aschale and Esu Alemseged met in middle school when they were both recent immigrants from Ethiopia, learning English and trying to fit in. Aschale got into running through his older sister. When she took up running, his mother made him go with her on long runs for her safety. (She now runs for Colby-Sawyer College.)
"If she weren't on the track team, I wouldn't be running at all," he says. "My mom kind of like forced me to start running with her. It changed the whole direction of my life."
Alemseged always loved running but mostly because he played soccer. When the two friends got to Cambridge Rindge and Latin School, Aschale persuaded his friend to try cross-country. Alemseged almost quit after the first practice, because it was so gruelling. But he soon discovered he had raw talent.
"We had a race a couple days after the first day and I was like 5th or 6th and then I just got better and better," he says. "I liked it, but what I liked the most was my coach. Every time you do good or don't do good, he doesn't discourage you whatsoever. Even if it's a bad race, he tells you a way to improve it."
The coach he's talking about is Scott Cody. Cody ran for Cambridge 30 years ago and he's been back coaching for 20. He likes to point out that includes 60 running seasons, when you count cross-country, indoor track and outdoor track. He says Aschale and Alemseged have helped take the team to another level.
"It's the most successful four-year run we've had with a distance group," he says. "They're really dedicated. They're serious, but they keep it loose."
Cody didn't know what to expect when they showed up as freshmen four years ago.
"They were sort of hiding in the back," he says. "Usually I don't want freshmen there before the season starts. I want to just get the group that I know's been training over the summer and train them really hard.
"Two weeks later, one of the seniors was complaining: 'You need to talk to these guys, they're running too fast, they're pushing on all the runs.' And I was like, 'Sorry, these guys are really talented.'"
Both boys say their Ethiopian heritage is a motivating factor in their running.
"You know in America people like to watch the Super Bowl," says Aschale. "In Ethiopia, people like to watch Olympic track and field events."
"I don't think I'm good at running just because I'm Ethiopian," says Alemseged. "We work hard every day. But I think if it weren't for the Ethiopian identity, I wouldn't be running in the first place."
He says sometimes when he runs he pretends he's back in Ethiopia, where he lived until he was 12. He remembers running all the time there, chasing cars, playing soccer. He likes to share his passion for Ethiopia with his teammates. He went back to visit a couple of years ago and came home to Cambridge with an armful of T-shirts for everyone.

"We wore them to one meet and people thought we were all from Ethiopia or we had been training in Ethiopia," Alemseged says. "We're always talking about Ethiopia."
And with the 2016 Boston Marathon just around the corner, talking about Ethiopia means talking about Ethiopian defending champion Lelisa Desisa.
Desisa is beloved in Boston for gifting his 2013 medal back to the city in commemoration of the victims and survivors of the marathon bombings.
He won again in 2015 and plans to try for another medal on Monday.
"There's a feeling of pride," says Alemseged. "It's really great when you see someone from the same place."
"I want to see Ethiopians win, but I also want to see a good race from everyone."

New Meeting Night: We enjoyed another great meeting but this time on Tuesday night. The first big update under our new president, Cindy Carvel, is that we're switching our meetings from the second Monday of the month to the third Tuesday of the month. Mark your calendars!
Kindheartedly Presentation: We were extremely fortunate to be joined by Kaitlyn Sciarrino, a senior at Mira Costa High School but, more importantly, the Founder and Executive Director of Kindheartedly. Kindheartedly is a 501(c)(3) charity focusing on improving the experience of female foster youths by creating "Kind Kits" (see picture above) that gives young women possessions to be proud of and to make them feel more normal in an often chaotic situation. To date, the primary beneficiary of Kindheartedly has been Maryvale Orphanage in Rosemead, CA.
We've had a police chief, a former fire chief, and many other impressive figures but Kaitlyn may have been our most impressive presenter to date. After she finished, our Kiwanians rushed to help her with her upcoming event, providing advice, support, and possible solutions to the resources she seeks.
Breakfast with Santa: We are confirmed for Saturday, November 24th at 8am at the Joselyn Center. We will be serving up pancakes as well as opportunities to take photos with Santa on the newly redesigned Santa Float. Tickets will be $10 each and there are sponsorship opportunities that range from $750 for bronze, $1,500 for silver, and $2,500 for gold. More info can be provided by Suzanne Karger and Doug Bermudez if you have questions. Thank you to you both for your hard work on this exciting new initiative!
Hometown Fair: The Hometown Fair is coming on October 6th and 7th and we need volunteers to help with the bike and stroller valet. We do this in an effort to provide a valuable community service, earn a few bucks through donations, and raise awareness for Kiwanis. Peter Yollin is on the Hometown Fair Board and can answer questions if you have them. A survey was just sent out to sign up for time slots, so if you didn't receive it, please contact Michael Block.
Board Installation Party: We are planning our board installation party and dinner for October in lieu of our normal monthly meeting. We are still solidifying a date, however, October 25th is the current frontrunner. Jeff Wilson is running point and will be finding a venue that will work best for us. He'll send an update soon, so stay tuned!
Social Night: On Friday, September 28th, Rick Block will be hosting a Social Night featuring Trivial Pursuit and adult beverages. Please bring a $10 gift certificate to a business of your choice so that we can add it to the list of prizes. The Evite went out on September 10th, so check your email to make sure you got it! Rick will information if you haven't received it yet.
Happy Dollars/Sad Dollars: We had some great happy and sad dollars but I did a terrible job of taking notes. Suffice to say that everyone had much more happy than sad. Desiree is recovering nicely from a knee surgery, Misty was feeling a lot better after the recent car accident, Doug was celebrating being named a top 401k advisor, Michael was looking forward to his daughter's third birthday, and DeAnn was happy to introduce Kaitlyn and Kindheartedly to us all.
See you next month at the Board Installation Party!

Diorite is usually grey to dark-grey in colour, but it can also be black or bluish-grey, and frequently has a greenish cast. Rapid cooling results in smaller crystals while slow cooling results in large crystals. This lesson examines the differences between intrusive and extrusive igneous rock and how these are formed in volcanic process. Updated 12 days ago|12/30/2020 7:15:41 PM. This program discusses where oil comes from, how it is extracted, and how it is converted into energy. Geophysicists use seismic wave studies, variations in temperature, magnetic fields, gravity, and computer simulations to create models of deep structures. Igneous rocks are called intrusive when they cool and solidify beneath the surface. Economically Important Metal Concentrations in Earth's Crust, Porphyry Deposits: General characteristics and modeling. A volcanic neck is the "throat" of a volcano and consists of a pipelike conduit filled with hypabyssal rocks. The weight of a mountain creates enough pressure to recrystallize rock, thus creating metamorphic rocks. As per Wikipedia, "Igneous rock (derived from the Latin word ignis meaning fire) is one of the three main rock types, the others being sedimentary and metamorphic.Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. But most fresh water comes from underground. Once again, plate tectonics is shown to be involved in the process. If the body has an exposed surface area greater than 100 km2, then it's a batholith, otherwise it's a stock. After carefully reading this chapter, completing the exercises within it, and answering the questions at the end, you should be able to: Describe the rock cycle and the types of processes that lead to the formation of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks, and explain why there is an active rock cycle on Earth. A pluton is an igneous intrusive rock body that has cooled in the crust. Intrusive rocks are … Intrusive Igneous Rocks 2. Intrusive Igneous Rocks Most magma does not extrude onto Earth's surface but cools slowly deep inside Earth. In slowly cooled intrusive igneous rocks, pigeonite is rarely preserved. Determination of intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks. Earth science scholars discover how igneous rocks form in a well-rounded interactive. Score 1 User: _____ magma causes powerful and explosive volcanic eruptions. ; Paarl Rock consists of intrusive igneous rock, while Uluru is a sedimentary remnant ). The program provides images of glaciers and glacial landforms such as moraines, and discusses how study of glaciers may help us understand ice ages and the greenhouse effect. Tuff is relatively soft and porous rock that made of ash and other sediments from volcanic vents that has solidified into the rock. This program outlines the recrystallization process and the types of rock it can create — from claystone and slate to schist and garnet-bearing gneiss. The program also describes devices being developed to study — and eventually predict — earthquakes. In fact, basalt is the most commonly occurring solid form of lava. Intrusive and Extrusive Igneous Rocks. This Intrusive and Extrusive Igneous Rocks Interactive is suitable for 6th - 12th Grade. Igneous rocks are formed from molten rock that has cooled and solidified. Images of landscapes illustrate how wind creates features such as dunes, playas, blow-outs, and even oases. Examples of intrusive rocks include granite, gabbro, and pegmatite. This magma seeps into crevices in existing rock to form intrusive igneous rocks. However, this notion changed dramatically over time, especially after the invention of the telescope. The igneous rocks are more commonly classified on the basis of the mode of occurrence into two major groups:- 1. Group # 1. If the body has an exposed surface area greater than 100 km2, then it's a batholith, otherwise it's a stock. Introduction to the formation of igneous rocks, including, extrusive and intrusive rocks. Granite is made up primarily of quartz, mica and feldspar. Showing actual footage of earthquakes and their aftermath, this program discusses the forces that fuel these massive events. A light-colored intrusive or extrusive felsic rock, the shallow version of granite, is called felsite or rhyolite. This program erodes the myth of the mountain as a solid, permanent structure. Intrusive igneous rock bodies are called PLUTONS. This program shows how deserts are defined by infrequent precipitation and how desertification relates to proximity to the equator, proximity to mountains, and ultimately plate tectonics. One type of intrusive igneous rock that forms from the same type of magma as basalt is called gabbro. -These rocks were formed from a lava flow that eventually cooled and solidified. This answer … Intrusive igneous rocks Erosion of volcanoes will immediately expose shallow intrusive bodies such as volcanic necks and diatremes (see Figure 6 ). Igneous rocks are rocks that are created beneath the earth in the earths mantle or above on the earth's surface. Diorite is coarse – grained intrusive igneous rock that commonly mineralogy is plagioclase feldspar and dark colored minerals such as hornblende and biotite.It usually occurs dikes, sills and intrusions with continental crust . 7.5.4 Intrusive Igneous Bodies. A pluton is an igneous intrusive rock body that has cooled in the crust. Intrusive igneous rocks are formed from magma that cools and solidifies within the crust of a planet, surrounded by way of pre-present rock (called us of a rock); the magma cools slowly and, as a result, these rocks are coarse-grained. Rather, it is a mafic rock whose main mineral constituents are pyroxene, feldspar, and some olivine. Intrusive rocks are characterized by large crystal sizes, i.e., their visual appearance shows individual crystals interlocked together to form the rock mass. Major topics addressed in the series, including plate tectonics, natural resources, seismology, and erosion, are introduced in this program. Learning Objective 6 Igneous Rock, Magma, Intrusive rocks By Ally, Madison, Megan, & Kyla Igneous activity by plate tectonics Learning Objective 5 Differentiation between intrusive igneous structures Learning Objective 4 Magmatic Processes Learning Objective 3 Conditions under Igneous rocks (from the Latin word for fire) form when hot, molten rock crystallizes and solidifies. This program shows the dynamic interaction of two geologic agents: rocky landmasses and the energy of the ocean. Scenes of San Francisco before the Loma Prieta earthquake introduce this program addressing how humans are learning to cope with earthquakes. This program looks at the variety of minerals, their atomic and crystalline structures, and their physical properties such as hardness and luster. ; Its geology features intrusive igneous rock formations, such as gabbro, combined with serpentine. If the conduits are emptied after an eruption, they can collapse in the formation of a caldera, or remain as lava tubes and caves. Topics of this program include aquifers, rock porosity and permeability, artesian wells, the water table, cave formation, sinkholes, and how groundwater may become contaminated. A dike is an intrusive rock that generally occupies a discordant, or cross‐cutting, crack or fracture that crosses the trend of layering in the country rock.Dikes are called pegmatites when they contain very coarse‐grained crystals—a single such crystal can range in size from a few centimeters to 10 meters in diameter.. Sills. The timeline of major geologic events is superimposed onto the year for a condensed view of Earth's evolution. An igneous rock is either an intrusive or extrusive rock and can have one or a multiple variety of minerals within it. It typically contains more than 20% quartz by volume, a large amount of sodium (Na) and calcium (Ca) rich plagioclase, minor amounts of muscovite mica, and biotite and amphiboles as the darker minerals. The inside of the Earth is very hot - hot enough to melt rocks. When lava comes out of a volcano and solidifies into extrusive igneous rock, also called volcanic, the rock cools very quickly. Score 1. The following terms are commonly used to describe the texture of igneous rocks: i. Phaneritic Texture: This is the texture of an intrusive rock whose crystals are large and can be … Aspects of flooding are also discussed. Intrusive igneous rocks crystallize below Earth's surface, and the slow cooling that occurs there allows large crystals to form. Both texture and composition define the specific types of igneous rock. Experts provide a graphic illustration of this process and explain the types and textures of … Environmental connections are also considered. a sub category of the intrusive rock is the hypabyssal, or subvolcanic rock. Intrusive features like stocks, laccoliths, sills, and dikes are formed. Intrusive igneous bodies tend to be irregular (stocks and batholiths), tabular (dikes and sills), or pipe-like. Both texture and composition define the specific types of igneous rock. Intrusive igneous rocks are generally formed from magma that cools and solidifies within the Earth's crust and is surrounded by pre-existing rock. Intrusive igneous rock bodies are called. An intrusion is any body of intrusive igneous rock, formed from magma that cools and solidifies within the crust of the planet.In contrast, an extrusion consists of extrusive rock, formed above the surface of the crust. This magma seeps into crevices in existing rock to form intrusive igneous rocks. eIgneous rocks make up most of the rocks on Earth. If the magma forces its way to the surface, it is then called lava, which cools and hardens into extrusive rocks. o The cooling rate is reflected in the rock's texture. Oil wells do more than just produce oil — they serve as windows to Earth's interior. This program examines the traces left by early plants, animals, and single-celled organisms and follows the progression of life forms over time. Intrusive Igneous Rock. The inside of the Earth is very hot - hot enough to melt rocks. Intrusive features like stocks, laccoliths, sills, and dikes are formed. Examples of intrusive igneous rocks are: diabase, diorite, gabbro, granite, pegmatite, and peridotite. Intrusive rocks form plutons and so are also called plutonic. There are two basic types. It is considered to be a cumulate of various crystals that have become fractioned due to heat and melting. Compositionally, igneous rocks span a range of felsic, to intermediate, to mafic. Organic components of rock are also discussed. Images of an actual landslide illustrate the phenomenon. If the intrusive rock cooled underground but near the surface, it is called subvolcanic or hypabyssal, and often has visible, but tiny mineral grains. Most intrusive rocks have large, well-formed crystals. Igneous rocks form when magma (molten rock) cools and crystallizes, either at volcanoes on the surface of the Earth or while the melted rock is still inside the crust. Extrusive Rocks. Intrusive rocks form plutons and so are also called plutonic. This answer has been confirmed as correct and helpful. When magma cools and solidifies in these spaces, Intrusive or plutonic igneous rocks are formed deep beneath the Earth's surface. These are igneous rocks that are formed by the solidification of hot magma deep inside the earth's crust. 0 Answers/Comments. Score 1. Minerals have been indispensable to human civilization. Weegy: Rhyolitic magma causes powerful and explosive volcanic eruptions. This program shows how weather, climate, chemicals, temperature, and type of substrate factor into rock and soil erosion. Fine Grained Igneous Rock. This program traces the development of astronomical theory with discussions of the discoveries of Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, and Newton. Intrusive Igneous rocks, or often called plutonic, are rocks that will form with magma that is trapped deep below the earth's surface. Igneous rocks are called intrusive when they cool and solidify beneath the surface. What are Intrusive Rocks? [3] Hypabyssal rocks are less common than plutonic or volcanic rocks and often form dikes, sills, laccoliths, lopoliths , … Faults, waves, and the transfer of energy from the epicenter are explained, and histories of the seismograph and Richter scale are presented. The program covers sedimentation, major structures, the methods used to examine them, and how petroleum may be trapped inside them.

Igneous rock is defined as a type of rock which is formed through the cooling & solidification of lava or magma. Volcanoes provide clues about what is going on inside Earth. Anyone undertaking a building project must understand mass wasting — the downslope movement of earth under the influence of gravity. Rocks are the foundation of planet Earth, and there are three major rock types: metamorphic, sedimentary and igneous. Course Grained Igneous Rock. ; Granite is an intrusive igneous rock, thus not volcanic. This often occurs in fissures, or near faults. The mysteries of the ocean floor lie hidden under enormous pressure and total darkness. User: Intrusive igneous rock bodies are called Weegy: Intrusive igneous rock bodies are called PLUTONS. Magma intrudes into country rock by pushing it aside or melting through it. Besides the above list, other igneous rocks include scoria, peridotite, pegmatite and andesite. Rock of this type is referred to as intrusive igneous rock, and the coarser and larger grain sizes generate a texture referred to as phaneritic. Aspects of waves — their types, parts, movement, and impact on the shore — are illustrated. Basalt & granite are examples of igneous rock. Intrusive igneous rocks are formed from magma that cools and solidifies within the crust of a planet, surrounded by way of pre-present rock (called us of a rock); the magma cools slowly and, as a result, these rocks are coarse-grained. Igneous rocks (from the Latin word for fire) form when hot, molten rock crystallizes and solidifies. If they erupt from volcanoes onto the surface as lava, they are called extrusive rocks.By contrast, Intrusive rocks are formed from magma that cools underground.

After I attended the Portland Food Adventure's In the Kitchen with Sarah Schafer, my husband asked that I attempt fried chicken. Chef Sarah uses a deep fryer and I was loathe to buy one at first. Instead, I got a deep heavy aluminum skillet that I could also use in the oven for restaurant-finished steak.
However, the skillet could only be heated on medium to medium-low on the stovetop. It took all of half time for the Super Bowl for it to heat the oil to temp. And then when I put the buttermilk-soaked, flour-and-cornstarch coated chicken into the oil, the temp dropped precipitously and never came back up fully. It took a lot longer than the 20 minutes promised to cook the chicken. It turned out tasty, but it was obvious I needed a deep fryer to do it right.
My buddy Elizabeth Rose suggested QVC's Emeril by T-fal FR702D001 1.8-Liter Deep Fryer with Integrated Oil Filtration System, Silver . I ordered it and it arrived on Friday.
The features that sold me were that it comes apart for cleaning in the dishwasher and it has an automatic oil filtration system. I hated having to discard the oil after using the skillet. With the Emeril deep fryer, it drains into an oil storage box you can then refrigerate until the next use.
I unboxed the Emeril fryer and sent the parts through the dishwasher, other than the heating unit itself. I bought a whole fryer cut-up and I froze the back and gizzards for making stock someday. I soaked the chicken in buttermilk with thyme and salt for 24 hours, using a gallon zip-lock bag.
I reassembled the fryer and plugged it in. It has a safety cord that is attached with magnets, loose enough so if it gets knocked off the counter, it disconnects so you have less risk of fire or burns.
The oil came up to temp in just a few minutes. I set it at 356 as the booklet seemed to recommend for chicken drumsticks. But I think that was a little too high for the canola oil I used, and I got a little char on my chicken.
I seasoned my chicken pieces with a mixture of salt, cayenne pepper, garlic salt and cumin. I seasoned those for Rich with only garlic salt. I dredged them in a mixture of 2:1 flour to cornstarch as recommended by Chef Sarah.
I fried up a breast and then turned it down a notch the wings and drumsticks. Only one breast fit into the basket, but both wings and both drumsticks went into the same batch. I used a digital meat thermometer to ensure I had the breast fully cooked inside.
Next, Rich bought frozen crinkle fries from Costco and I filled the fry basket half full as recommended. They cooked up crisp in 3 minutes as promised.
I drained all of the fried foods on a cooling grate over an aluminum pan. Very little oil dripped off, and the food was not greasy to the touch at all. Even 30 minutes after finishing cooking the breast, Rich reported it was still plenty hot inside when he ate it. So, no worries if you have to cook in batches.
The result – delicious. Even with the coating a bit overcooked, the chicken was moist inside and the skin and coating very flavorful. I overfilled the basket for the second batch of fries, which was definitely a mistake as they took longer to cook and didn't crisp up well until I removed half of them.
I then unplugged the fryer while we ate. For the oil filtration, you allow it to cool for at least two hours, then flip the switch to filter. However, I discovered that I had the fryer bowl backward so it didn't drain. After some trial and error and consulting the internets (the instruction book wasn't helpful), I realized the error, turned it around, and it drained in about 15 minutes. One user said she uses the dregs for gravy. As mine was a bit charred, I discarded them. But when I make my next batch at lower temp, I will definitely save them for gravy.
Best of all, it all cleans up in the dishwasher and my oil is ready for reuse. That makes it easy to do a batch of fries for Rich even when I'm not interested in making anything else fried.


California appeals court today gave Federal Trade Commission the green light to move forward with a lawsuit alleging that AT&T Inc was deceptive in slowing internet speeds to customers with unlimited plans. Diane Bartz reporting in Reuters: "The FTC sued AT&T in 2014 on the grounds that the No. 2 U.S. wireless carrier failed to inform consumers it would slow, or 'throttle,' the speeds of heavy data users on unlimited plans. In some cases, data speeds were slowed by nearly 90 percent, the FTC said. AT&T had argued that it was exempt from FTC regulation because it is a common carrier." Today's ruling however states that "the commoncarrier exemption applies only to the extent that an entity actually engages in common-carrier activities. Under this 'activity-based' interpretation, an entity's non-commoncarriage activities are subject to FTC regulation. At the time the FTC filed suit, mobile data provision was not a 'common carrier service.'"

Gilead hepatitis C drug sales fall, but profit beats estimates
Latest News, News, Pharmaceuticals
Gilead, which announced in July that Chief Executive Officer John Milligan and Chairman John Martin would step down as soon as the end of the year, said revenue totalled $5.6 billion, down 14 per cent from second-quarter 2017.
New Delhi: Second-quarter sales of Gilead Sciences Inc's flagship hepatitis C drugs fell by more than half as competition increased, sending net profit down 22 per cent from a year earlier, the U.S. biotechnology company reported on Thursday.
But the results beat analyst estimates and Gilead slightly raised its full-year outlook for product sales to between $20.8 billion and $21.3 billion from a previous range of $20 billion to $21 billion.
Gilead's shares, which rose 1 per cent to close at $68.62 in regular trading, were up another 1.4 per cent at $69.61 after hours.
Gilead's results "are consistent with a trajectory towards growing again and first quarter 2018 was probably the trough," Jefferies analyst Michael Yee said in a research note, referring to the drop-off in hepatitis C sales over the past couple of years.
The decline in sales had been largely expected as many patients with the liver disease have been cured by the new drugs and rival products entered the market, with AbbVie's treatments grabbing some market share once owned by Gilead.
Quarterly sales of hepatitis C drugs totalled $902 million, down from $2.2 billion a year earlier. Sales of antiviral and HIV drugs rose to $3.7 billion from $3.3 billion.
Excluding one-time items, Gilead said it earned $1.84 per share in the quarter. Wall Street analysts, on average, expected $1.63 per share, according to Refinitiv data.

You and Whose Army?
Our last soldier in Cyprus

nicosia—Sector 2, in the middle of Cyprus's 180-kilometre-long buffer zone, is what they call the "tricky" sector. It cuts through the capital city's booby-trapped heart, separating—by mere feet in places—Greek Cypriot from Turkish Cypriot soldiers. After forty-five years of post-independence strife, forty-one of them overseen by UN peacekeepers, these two armies have become bored and undisciplined, and they are forever trying to one-up each other by advancing their ceasefire lines, inches at a time, without getting caught. This game often escalates into a small violation of UN rules (lobbing a rock at the other side will do it), which can build to a serious incident (firing back a round), which results in the odd casualty, which, if not managed just right, can erupt into an international crisis.
There are many curious things about the Cyprus buffer zone: it shares its unofficial name, the Green Line, with the border between Israel and Palestine; it is home to a fleet of some fifty brand-new 1974 Toyota Corollas, trapped by circumstance and now frozen in time, in a dealer's garage; and a pungent scent of eucalyptus, from moisture-sucking trees first planted in the arid desert terrain by British colonial administrators in the 1950s, hangs over the crumble. Maybe most curious of all, though, is the Canadian contingent. I am riding up front with him in a white Mazda 626.
Canada and America: Best Frenemies Forever
Andrew Scheer Shouldn't Give Racists a Pass
Will PEI Start a New Green Wave?
After thirty-nine years, more than 25,000 troops, and twenty-eight fatalities, the mission known as Op Snowgoose has come down to this: a thirty-five year-old, steady-as-she-goes Montreal Canadiens fan, born in Ottawa and raised all over Canada. Beneath his blue UN beret, his glasses conjure up Clark Kent. But it's not just the glasses: Captain Dan Zegarac emits such mild-mannered competence that he preempts whatever "me, myself, and I" joke you might make at his mission's expense.
We pass Nicosia International Airport, which the airlines abandoned in 1974 after an attack by the Turkish army. A Cyprus Airways jet sits on the tarmac, still fit enough to make a getaway in were it not for its shrapnel-pocked tail. Zegarac is explaining his objective in Cyprus, arguably the most famous peacekeeping mission in Canadian history. "We're here to maintain the status quo," he says. Yes, he says we.
There is something inescapably absurd about this mission. It smacks of an underfunded military's tokenism. When UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan visited Prime Minister Paul Martin in March 2004, he hinted that Canada was coasting on its reputation, and referred specifically to our commitment here. Cyprus was once a point of pride for Canadians. Now, not so much.
Or maybe, not so obviously. As we pass a derelict petrol station, Zegarac struggles to convey the meaning of his mission: "The cost of maintaining a single Canadian—it's a non-issue. Our Canadian presence here—we have a Canadian flag . . ." He cuts himself off, then tries again. "When the problem is finally resolved, we will have participated fully from the start to the finish in the solution in Cyprus."
This is Zegarac's second tour in Nicosia. In 1993, he was part of the battalion that ceded control of the buffer zone's central region—now part of tricky Sector 2—to the British after two decades of nurturing. They left behind only a handful of personnel on the island, who eventually gave way to a single soldier, who became Zegarac in July 2003.
It's difficult to overstate the effect Canada has had on Cyprus since our troops first arrived in 1964. Cypriots speak matter-of-factly of little towns in Saskatchewan, and Canadians are revered, by Greek Cypriots in particular, for defending the airport from the advancing Turks in 1974, when the conflict was at its apex and the Green Line was just a chinagraph pencil stroke on a map.
Journalists aren't allowed inside the Green Line, but because the British officer in charge, Captain James Holland, admires our military's old-school peacekeeping style, I was able to get a tour. We marched along a narrow patrol path, past wrecked Ottoman mansions bound by several decades' worth of overlapping razor wire, sandbags, and wriggly tin fence. As we walked, he recounted a story about the Canadian approach to the game of inches. "A Canadian commander came down here in his armoured vehicle, same route they used to take every morning," he said, indicating a very narrow road between the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot positions. "However, on this morning his driver crashed into the side of this Turkish bunker. He gave the driver a good bollocking, then he looked out and realized they were butted up along his side of the vehicle as well." The vehicle was wider than the passage. The Turkish bunker had been extended a few inches that night—a fact the Turks vigorously contested. Eventually, the Canadian asked everyone to get out of the bunker. He backed the armoured vehicle up several feet, plowed through the illegal extension, and continued on his patrol. Status quo maintained.
Sector 2 teems with such lore. Hometown names of departing troops, from Cape Breton to Prince Rupert, are etched into the sandstone along patrol routes named Rogers Pass (echoing a scenic point on the Trans-Canada Highway) and Patricia's Way (after Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry). There's a derelict school called Beaver Lodge and a barracks named Maple House. Zegarac grimaces whenever the Slovak peacekeepers who patrol Sector 4 refer to "Camp Burger," the troop house named after Jean Claude Berger, a twenty- one-year-old private from Rimouski, Quebec, who was one of two Canadian soldiers killed in combat in 1974.
Soldiers stationed in Cyprus often refer to the experience as "peacekeeping at its lowest level," and indeed Zegarac spends much of his time charting patterns in the low-level game of inches. "Every week there's easily a few hundred violations that occur," he says. "Each one of them has to be recorded, and if there's a pattern being established, then we see if this is something deliberate." The solution may not be ramming an armoured car through bunker walls, but a Canadian will be there to improvise a fix. The status quo will be maintained. The mission will go on.

This video recommendation is in honor of all those veterans who served, including my father, the late Cpt. James B. Dawson, ASM BSM.
For those who have not seen The Best Years of Our Lives I highly recommend it. It is a film that no matter how many times I see it never gets tiresome. Yes, it is a glossy Hollywood production, but it is also so much more. It is also one of the first films that really looked at the real affect war had on those who came home. Through the challenges and obstacles each of our main characters faced, their heroism is elevated and humanized.
This was due in great part to the portrayal of Homer Parish, as portrayed by Harold Russell, had in the film. Harold Russell (1914-2002) was a WWII veteran who lost both hands in a botched training exercise. The Best Years of Our Lives gave us a glimpse into this world of a long, hard emotional and physical recovery.
We also had the portrayal of the 'fly-boy' hero Fred Derry (Dana Andrews) whose life comes crashing down all around him upon his return home. On top of that he is suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome, as signified by his terrifying nightmares, which cause him to break out into night sweats and screams.
A wonderful supporting cast including personal favorites Myrna Loy and Teresa Wright aided to the story. One pleasant surprise for me was Virginia Mayo in the role of Marie, Fred's pin-up wife, who also has to re-take stock of her life after her hero husband returns to the civilian ranks.
Fast-forward roughly 50 years later, and to the romantic drama A Walk in the Clouds, which touched upon the challenges of returning to post-WWII America, and you will see many elements of that story may have been "borrowed" (or at least have in its DNA) The Best Years of Our Lives.
This is such a great movie. I absolutely love it and every time I see it I find something else to love about it. This is also one of the few movies in which I actually like Dana Andrews. Well, the whole cast is wonderful.
Oh yeah I was trying to remember who did not like Dana Andrews 😉 But really it was a great ensemble cast all around.

Sing You Home By Jodi Picoult: A Special Kind Of Audio Experience!
The one thing I can say about Jodi Picoult is that she knows how to pick a topic and write a thought-provoking book and Sing You Home is no exception. The story grabbed me from the very beginning and to add to the listening experience Picoult has included original songs which correspond to each chapter. The lyrics are written by Picoult herself and sang by Ellen Wilber. Not only are the songs beautiful to listen to, but the lyrics do a wonderful job of reflecting the main character's feelings, adding tremendously to the whole Sing You Home experience. I looked forward to each new chapter and each new song.
Zoe and Max Baxter had been trying to have a baby for 10 years. They had tried everything, exhausting their funds with expensive medical procedures. Finally Zoe was pregnant! At seven month's they were cautiously allowing themselves to get excited, when tragedy strikes and Zoe loses her baby… and her husband. Max decided that he cannot take it anymore and leaves.
You leave your ring on the pillow……….
Zoe, a music therapist copes with her loss by throwing herself into her work helping sick patients through music. When Vanessa, a school guidance counselor asks Zoe to work with Lucy, a troubled teen, Zoe agrees and not only finds herself involved with helping Lucy but also finds herself spending more and more time with Vanessa. Before she realizes what is happening Zoe finds herself falling in love with Vanessa. Meanwhile, her ex, Max, a recovering alcoholic has found god and becomes involved in the Eternal Glory Church, which does not look kindly on Gay relationships.
But you're gonna be my last.
Gay rights were something that Picoult had thought about writing for quite some time, but ironically it was while she was writing Sing You Home that her own 17-year-old son came out and told her that he was gay. Sing You Home was definitely thought- provoking and once I started listening to it, I couldn't stop. The story was gripping and there is so much more I could say, however I do not want to give anything away! I listened to the Playaway Sing You Home, wherever I went! I would highly recommend the audio version and wonder if I would have enjoyed it as much had I read the book. I probably would not have even listened to the CD with the beautiful songs. The narrators were wonderful and the music was the icing on the cake!


Katie Price has received a mixed reaction from her fans after she set up an Instagram account for her disabled son Harvey – just days after winning the backing of MPs to make online abuse a crime.
The former glamour model revealed on her Instagram that 16-year-old Harvey now has his own account and encouraged her followers to follow him.
While in the clip, Harvey said: 'Hello everyone. My Instagram name is Harvey Price.' He then starts singing and dancing to Drake.
Harvey's bio reveals that he loves 'frogs', 'drawing' and 'Gatwick Express'.
At the moment, Harvey is only following two people, his mum and younger brother, Junior.
But shortly after Katie's announcement, many fans commented that it would be better for Harvey to have a private Instagram account, like his brother Junior, instead of a public one.
Meanwhile, earlier this week Katie's petition to make online abuse a specific criminal offence won the backing of MPs.
She launched the petition, dubbed Harvey's Law, in 2017 after her son was targeted by vile trolls because of his disabilities.

Diocese interviews second accuser of Dunkirk priest it cleared of abuse
The Rev. Dennis Riter, center, pastor of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church in Dunkirk, greets parishioners following Mass on Sunday, July 1, 2018. The Buffalo Diocese exonerated Riter after investigating claims he sexually abused a child. (Derek Gee/Buffalo News)
By Jay Tokasz|Published Mon, Jul 30, 2018 |Updated Fri, Aug 10, 2018
The Buffalo Diocese cleared a Dunkirk priest of sexual abuse last month without talking with a second accuser who alleged he was molested as a child by the priest.
Monday, the diocese interviewed the second man who alleges that the Rev. Dennis G. Riter abused him.
For now, Riter will be allowed to remain at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church, a diocese spokesman said.
Monday's interview with Riter's second accuser happened in Amherst, a month after the diocese determined that a previous allegation, lodged in March against Riter, was not substantiated. The second accuser alleges Riter abused him in the rectory of Queen of All Saints Church in Lackawanna. His lawyer said he has a witness of the alleged abuse who wrote a letter to diocesan officials about it more than 25 years ago.
The diocese suspended Riter from ministry while a former assistant district attorney working for the diocese investigated a claim that the priest had molested a teenage boy in a South Buffalo church rectory in the late 1990s.
Riter was returned to his post as pastor of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church in Dunkirk on June 30.
A diocesan spokesman said the diocese was aware of a second accuser sometime in May and wrote two letters to the accuser's lawyer, Mitchell Garabedian, on May 27 and June 7, asking to interview the man.

"Of course we wanted to hear from him," said the spokesman, George Richert.
Garabedian did not respond to the letters until a month later, after Riter was returned to ministry, said Richert.
Garabedian said he was simply preparing his client's case properly during that time, and the diocese never indicated in its letters that it was returning Riter to ministry.
"They didn't tell me there was a deadline. Common courtesy would dictate if there's a deadline, you say there's a deadline. It was just the church acting like the church, being secretive and sliding Father Riter back into ministry in a way that wasn't proper," said Garabedian, who held a news conference Monday afternoon on the sidewalk of Main Street, across from the Catholic Center.
After the news conference, he said that his client will not be available for an interview with The News.
"Not at this point. It's been very, very difficult," said Garabedian.
Garabedian declined to identify his client and did not provide specifics about what happened to him, aside from referring to a letter written by Wieslaw J. Walawender, who was a theology student at Christ the King Seminary assigned in 1992 as part of his field education program to Queen of All Saints Church in Lackawanna.
In the letter, dated May 9, 1992, and addressed to then-Bishop Edward D. Head and Auxiliary Bishop Edward Grosz, Walawender alleges that he witnessed Riter "to be in a morally and legally questionable situation with a male child less than 10 years of age."
The boy's father and Walawender found "male body fluid" on the boy's shirt, face and hair after he had been alone with Riter in a Lackawanna rectory, according to the letter.
Walawender told The News that he wrote the 1992 letter and hand-delivered it to the diocese.
In the absence of an interview with the second accuser, the diocesan investigator, Scott Riordan, "did a lot of legwork on the letter," said Richert.
The letter stated that the family of the boy spoke with police about the incident. Garabedian declined to comment when asked whether there was a police record of the incident.
Riter's lawyer, Rodney O. Personius, said that he was not aware that a second accuser was being interviewed Monday.
The seminary student's letter has "a lot of holes in it," including that the diocese has no record of the letter and that the Lackawanna police have no record of a report of the incident, said Personius.
Riter, he added, has "no idea who's being mentioned or what's being referred to" in the letter.
"He was troubled by the allegations. He felt vindicated when the diocese made the decision that it did, and he's moved on," said Personius.
Richert said Riter is still in ministry "for the time being" as the diocese follows its process for investigating complaints.
Monsignor suspended
Also Monday, the diocese suspended Monsignor John M. Ryan from active ministry as it investigates an abuse complaint. Ryan retired in 2001 from St. Benedict parish in Eggertsville and is living at a residence for retired priests in the City of Tonawanda.
Ryan became the 11th priest since March who the diocese put on administrative leave as it determines whether an allegation of sex abuse is credible or not. Riordan, the diocese's investigator, and the Diocesan Review Board both found that the initial accusation against Riter was not substantiated.
Allegations against seven priests, including Ryan, continue to be investigated at the diocesan level. Accusations against three priests were determined to be credible by a diocesan investigation, and those cases were referred to the Vatican for further review, according to the diocese.
