HINDSIGHT / 2020: Humanistic Reflections on an Unprecedented Year
The Humanities Institute in the College of Arts and Sciences presents a series of online lectures and conversations that highlight the ways in which humanistic disciplines can help us interpret and contextualize the critical developments in racialized violence, public health, and social responsibility that have defined, and often intersected in, an unprecedented 2020. The year-long series will additionally focus on how the humanities can collaborate with other disciplines to help us better understand these pressing issues. These online events, free and open to the public through the "Quick Sessions" Platform of the Regina A. Quick Center for Performing Arts, will feature prominent national and international figures in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences as well as Fairfield University faculty.

Houston SaberCats Malacchi Esdale 2020 Profile
By djcoilrugby	 December 9, 2019 No Comments
The Houston SaberCats re-signed Malacchi Esdale for the 2020 Major League Rugby season. The 24-year-old wing/center is 6'2″, and 210 lbs.
During the 2019 MLR season, Malacchi played 1160 minutes in 15 matches and scored 4 tries. He carried 95 times for 915 meters, had 11 line breaks, 8 tackle breaks, 9 offloads and made 89 tackles.
Malacchi is originally from Newark, DE and then moved to Naples, Florida where he attended Naples High School until graduating in 2013. While in high school he was a versatile athlete. He played wide receiver in football and achieved national recognition. He also played basketball and was a sprinter and high jumper in track. While in high school, he began playing rugby with the Naples Bears Rugby Club.
After graduating in 2013, he attended ASA Junior College Football where he played safety in football. He then transferred to the University of Miami and later to the University of Central Florida where he continued to play safety for the football teams.
Malacchi also played rugby with the Orlando Griffins, as a center, most recently in 2017 prior to signing with the Houston SaberCats in August 2017. He played wing the SaberCats during the 2018 major League Rugby season with occasional appearances at outside center.
Malacchi's athletic prowess and speed have made him a scoring threat for the SaberCats. While in high school, his 40-yard dash was 4.77 seconds and his verticle leap was 30 inches according to ESPN. While these stats are dated, he is one of the fastest players in the League and will place MLR teams under pressure during the 2019 season.

cg! book club
Check out the CG! editors' favorite reads!
Mikael Damkier
Hi, CG!s — welcome to the first meeting of the CosmoGIRL! Online Book Club. Some people say teens don't read, but we know that's not true. You love books as much as Oprah's Book Club members. That's why we decided to launch this space to talk books, more books, and even more books. We'll be reviewing the hottest new titles each month — plus, we'll do Q&As with the authors and even give you a few surprise treats. Can anyone say "alternative endings" and "lost chapters"?
For our first month, we thought we'd share with you the all-time-favorite books of the CG! staff. Write us back and tell us about your fave books. And go read some of our choices if you haven't already. We'd love to hear what you think!
Lots of love, The CG! Team
Susan Schulz, editor-in-chief
Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston
"I read this in college and I felt like I could TASTE it. The book is written so vividly, and I just got totally sucked in by Janie's journey of trying to find herself, making mistakes, and ultimately finding true love. I fell in love with Tea Cake along with her. I won't say what happens, but it is just heart-wrenching and inspiring at the same time. Even though I read it so long ago, I can still remember specific scenes in the book — I just devoured every word so completely. And I cried when it was over because I wanted to see what else would happen to the characters — that's how attached to them I got. I hope this inspires you to go pick it up! Let me know what you think — I hope I didn't oversell it!
Rachel Aydt, research director
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy, and Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
I cried when I finished Anna Karenina, because I knew there would never again be a time when I was reading it for the first time. From the opening page, it completely took me full throttle into another world that felt universal and timeless: "All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." And Little Women made me want to be a writer. I used to pretend I was Jo March and sit in my bedroom eating apples and reading books. I felt like I was a part of that family of sisters; each was so different, and so relatable.
Cheryl Brody, associate editor
The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath, and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares
Of course I'm drawn to the fact that The Bell Jar is about a girl who interns at a magazine and loves writing, but more than anything, this book is so beautifully written and shows the innermost workings of a girl who is begging for help. And Sisterhood: I just can't get enough of these books — they just make me happy when I read them. And I can really relate to all four girls — they all have to deal with such different life cycles that every girl has dealt with at some point in her life (either on her own or through a friend).
Rachel Chang, entertainment editor
Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling.
Not that this series needs any introduction, but fantasy and magic books were never my thing until my little cousin encouraged me to pick up the first book. The incredibly detailed Potter world was so REAL that I couldn't help turning the pages because I HAD to know what happened. It was like J.K. Rowling had actually been there and experienced Harry's adventures and was sharing her little secret with us. And how can you not want to get in on a secret like that? Especially when it has to do with magic! ;)
Chandra Czape Turner, executive editor
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
I read this when I was studying abroad in England as a junior in college. I was actually living in the place where the book was based, but in a totally different time. Jane was an orphan who survived one tragedy after another, but she never seemed to lose her sense of herself. She had every reason to be broken and depressed, but she was spunky and independent — her spirit was never broken. Finally, at the end of the book, luck and love come her way. The story really resonated with me. I think I connected so much because I was just figuring out who I wanted to be at the time and what I wanted in life.
Deanne Hess, senior Web editor
Angels and Demons by Dan Brown
This is currently my all-time favorite book. I read it in two days, despite the fact that it's well over 500 pages — I just couldn't put it down! I'm a sucker for any fantasy, mystery, or historical novel that combines secrets, an occult following, and/or a plot against a powerful figurehead. Obviously other faves include any of the Harry Potter books, The Zero Game, and The People of Pineapple Place. On the other hand, I have also read every single book that Sophie Kinsella, Meg Cabot, and Lauren Weisberger have ever written. Go figure!
Jen Goldstein, senior beauty and fitness editor
I absolutely love this story of a young teen growing up poor in turn-of-the-century Brooklyn. It made me thankful for living comfortably and having caring parents, and it made me want to move to New York City! I especially love the main character, Francie, who is a bookworm and writer, like me.
Mai Hoang, research editor
This is an epic romance between the beautiful (but married) noblewoman Anna and the dashing Count Vronksy. Set in imperial Russia (think ball gowns, chandeliers, and caviar), it's widely considered the greatest novel ever written (heck, even Oprah picked it for her book club). It's long and probably required reading for AP English, but it's a very juicy read. Who says chick lit can't be literary?
Autumn Whitefield-Madrano, assistant managing editor
The Toughest Indian in the World by Sherman Alexie
It's a short story collection that deals with friendship, family, and dark stuff in American history — somehow, though, every story in it is about love. My favorite story, "South by Southwest," makes me cry every time I read it because it's filled with such beautiful love and longing — but other stories make me laugh out loud hysterically. I'm a quarter Indian, and reading about a wide variety of other Native Americans prompts me to think about my heritage, but you don't have to be Indian to adore his work. He has a great new young adult novel out too: The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. Recommended! It won the 2007 National Book Award!
Tara McBratney, fashion director
The Secret History by Donna Tartt, and The Constant Gardener by John le Carré
In The Secret History, you are sucked into the world of these college kids, and the plot keeps you guessing. And The Constant Gardener is a compelling story about a man on the run who is trying to find the truth about his murdered wife ... you don't want to put it down.
Rachel Mount, assistant to the editor-in-chief
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
I lugged this around for a whole summer because my favorite professor said I should read it. It's not an easy book, but it makes you question everything about the economy and government. Plus, there's almost a secret club of people who have read Atlas (and Rand's other famous book, The Fountainhead). Try reading it in a coffee shop, and I guarantee a cute college boy will stop by to discuss Rand's theories!
Jill Percia, assistant beauty and fitness editor
She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb
This book follows a girl named Dolores from her childhood to adulthood. The pages take us through 35 years of her life and tell the story of betrayal by her own father, family members, and her boyfriends. She eventually becomes depressed and kind of goes crazy from all the trauma that has been inflicted on her from her early years. I like this book because it's about overcoming almost any obstacle, no matter how hard it might be. And I think that the topics the author touches on are very relatable. Relationships with men, family dysfunction, weight problems, depression, and madness are a part of Dolores's unstable life. What's interesting is that it all stems from her upbringing (I think). It's a very inspiring story and although it seems sad throughout most of the book, the ending is very uplifting. By the end of this book, you feel like you've lived in her shoes and have been on her life journey. It's that well written! And the most interesting part is that it's written by a man, which is shocking because he really gets into a woman's emotions. Everyone I've ever recommended this book to has loved it!
Michelle Ribeiro, deputy editor
Steppenwolf by Herman Hesse
The first time I read this book, I was 17. I just remember being confused that I understood the protagonist, Harry Haller, so well because, well, he was a man twice my age! But I did understand him. Because Harry was, at his core, a person who felt disconnected from society in so many ways. And I think we all feel that way sometimes, no? But more than that, I admired his endeavor to discover all of the parts of himself. He knew that everyone has many, many selves inside of them — and that no one person is the same person all the time. If that sounds crazy to you, that's all the more reason why you should read it!
Tara Roberts, senior editor
Because it makes you dream bigger and about wider possibilities about our existence as human beings than you may have ever imagined before; because it makes you believe in and stand up for what's righteous and good; and because it proves that you can do something that makes a difference and matters to the world even when you're a kid.
Jess Strul, editorial assistant
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
It's a classic that gets better and better each time I read it. Plus, I love the spunky and insightful spirit of Scout. She's so CG!

Munich, 26 January 2017. A group of private investors successfully completed an investment into the Womanizer Group, consisting of the legal entities Novoluto GmbH, epi24 GmbH, and epi24 USA LLC. Womanizer is an innovative adult toy maker with state-of-the-art adult lifestyle products sold globally under the Womanizer brand.
With its market launch in August 2014, Womanizer's first product W100 has revolutionized the adult toy market and has been recognized as the 'Best new female product of the year' at the ETO-Awards 2015. Since then, the company has significantly expanded its product portfolio and continued its international growth story. Today, Womanizer offers a wide variety of high-end stimulation devices based on its touchless 'Pleasure Air' technology on a global scale.
Founder Michael Lenke and his co-founders intended to find a strong and international partner to support the unique success story of Womanizer. ACXIT Capital Partners identified Rigeto and the entrepreneurial approach and partnership concept of its clients as the ultimate fit to the Womanizer Group's needs. The transaction comprises the investment into several Womanizer Group companies in Germany as well as in the USA. With its new structure and additional support the company is well positioned to cater to Womanizer's international scope and its strong growth perspective.
ACXIT Capital Partners acted as the exclusive financial advisor to shareholders and founders of the Womanizer Group. This transaction underlines ACXIT's range and depth of experience in the adult pleasure products sector, following on recent successful transactions, including the sale of AMORELIE to the ProSiebenSat.1 Media Group.
Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Metten, Germany, Womanizer group consists of several group companies in Germany, the USA and Asia developing and selling the unique and revolutionary intimate stimulation devices. These are highly perceived under the 'Womanizer' trademark and based on the patented and one-of-a-kind 'Pleasure Air' technology.


Is A Digital Blood Pressure Monitor Better?
A digital blood pressure monitor is one of the most commonly used types of monitors within the home. The biggest benefit of using this style of monitor is that it is automatic. Unlike the doctor's office, you do not have to listen to your heartbeat and estimate the amount of pressure. It happens for you. Not all brands are the same, so you should do some basic research before selecting one of these to use.
When selecting the right type of blood pressure monitor, keep in mind that the best fit are those that offer the easiest reading device. Some digital monitors , sold by Amazon, offers very clear numbers shown directly on the screen. And most digitals do offer this benefit. This helps to give you an accurate reading on what your blood pressure is so that you can ensure that you are recording accurate data.
In addition to this, some digitals will have a feature allowing you to print out a copy of the reading. This helps make it very easy for you to keep track of what your daily readings are. This feature can be a bit more expensive, especially to maintain, but for those who want an easy way to record their blood pressure numbers, it works well.
Digital monitors are easier to use than traditional models called aneroid units.
Most feature a gauge and a stethoscope that are in one unit. The numbers on it are very easy to read.
Look for a monitor that offers an error message so that you are not getting a false number.
Deflation on most digitals is automatic which can be helpful. Not all offer this feature but it can be a plus to look for.
Those who are hearing impaired will do best with a digital monitor since you do not have to listen to the sounds of the heart.
There are a few disadvantages to these monitors. For example, if you have an irregular heart rate or you move, this could limit the accuracy of the blood pressure monitor. Some can be pricey, too.
Determine if there are limitations to which arm the device can be on, especially if you are left handed.
Digital Blood Pressure Monitors can be a good investment. Do some research on the specific model you are considering before you buy!

Let's face it, the world as we know it is changing. For the most part, that's a very good thing. As health and safety professionals, one way that we see these changes is in increasing regulatory pressures.
As an example, as of January 2015, OSHA has increased pressure on U.S.-based businesses regarding reporting of workplace incidents. The new requirements include a requirement to report work-related fatalities within eight hours and any severe work-related injuries within 24 hours.
After all, safety isn't just about the human tragedies that can accompany workplace safety incidents; there is a significant financial cost to noncompliance as well. Fines for noncompliance with these regulations can run into millions of dollars in the most severe cases.
The answers to these questions aren't simple. However, there is one initial step that can benefit nearly every company concerned about health and safety compliance: Take a look at what's new in software tools and systems for health and safety management.
The famed technology investor Mark Andreesen has been saying for years that software is eating the world. His view is that software is making our collective lives easier, across the board, by streamlining and in some cases eliminating mundane and repeatable tasks.
The EHS world is no different. Software tools in this space are designed to help safety professionals do their jobs more efficiently. One side effect of this is that spending less time on repeatable tasks can free up time to do "other" work such as proactive investigation and analysis that goes beyond simply complying with regulations, and drives real improvements in how a company is run.
The first step in answering any question is gathering facts. It's like an old detective story. Collect as much information about the incident that happened before jumping to any conclusions. The more data you're able to gather about an incident (or a near-miss), the more evidence you will have to base any decisions on.
That's where software tools really begin to shine. Are you still tracking your incidents with paper or through spreadsheets? How easy is it to really dig into and explore that data? By moving all that valuable (but hidden) data into a purpose built safety database, you'll be taking a giant leap forward in your ability to stay compliant.
Health and safety incidents don't always happen near a computer. In fact I'd bet they rarely happen near a computer. These days though, almost all of us have access to a smart phone or tablet device. Modern health and safety software tools allow employees to use these always-with-us gadgets to log safety incidents where and when they occur.
Being able to make note of what happened, when it happens, is a great way to ensure quality and accuracy in your data.
Once you've gotten a better handle on data, software tools can help you use it far more efficiently. These tools will help you manage and distribute that data easier than ever before.
Do certain people or parts of the company need to be made aware of an incident? Done. Automated workflows can make sure that anyone who needs to know about an incident will know about it, including regulatory bodies.
Do certain people in the company need to sign off on decisions before action take place? Again, automated workflows can help here. It's not just about keeping track of what happens, safety is just as much about making sure everyone is aware of what happened when they need to know about it. This creates accountability through awareness.
It happened to the world of finance and it's even happened to baseball: data-driven decisions. While on the job experience should never be discounted, data has an uncanny ability to help people make better decisions.
Do you have a gut feel about a concerning trend that may be emerging? Use your incident data to validate your hunch. Sharing concerns around a negative safety trend and accompanying it with a chart showing a spike in something concerning is a sure way to get the attention of your management and your executives.
The world of safety and compliance has changed drastically over the past few years, and that pace of change is only getting faster. The great news is that health and safety software tools are evolving just as quickly. These four steps are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to how EHS software can make your life easier, but are a great place to start streamlining how you manage your safety compliance.

Some Blackjack variants you can play online will offer you what is called Surrender. There are two different types of surrender the first is Early and the second is Late. Below we will show you the main differences to help you understand this game play rule.
Early Surrender is not commonly found online these days, but should you find a game that offers it then you will, should you decide to play it, be able to give up half your stake before the dealer checks for Blackjack, and thus will be removed from that hand.
If you have a pair of three's, sixes, seven's or eight's and the dealer is showing an Ace, then once again you should accept Early Surrender.
If the Dealer is showing a Ten and you have a hard Fourteen to Sixteen or a pair of sevens or eights then once again you should take the Early Surrender option.
However tempting it is to take Early Surrender there are many occasions when you shouldn't accept it and these are: Should you be playing in a single deck Blackjack game then never Surrender a Ten when faced with a dealers four or a Ten against a dealer 5 or 9.
In a Two deck game you should never Surrender a Ten when up against a Four and a Ten. Should you have been dealt a pair of 2's and the Dealer has a soft 17 then you should always Surrender that hand.
The Late Surrender rules is found at most online casinos and you should always find a few Blackjack variantS in which you can take Late Surrender. This is simply you giving up half your stake to be removed from that hand, but only once the Dealer has checked her hand for a Blackjack.
To get the maximum value out of taking Late Surrender you should only use this option when the correct strategy calls for it, so never go mad by giving up hands that you stand a reasonable chance of winning.
Below is several occasions when you should always take Late Surrender, and as mentioned always follow the correct strategy or you could end up increasing the house edge by incorrectly Surrendering a hand.
If you happen to be playing a single deck game and your hand consists of a fifteen then you should not take Late Surrender if the Dealer has a 9, 10, or (in a Blackjack variant where the Dealer stands a soft 17) an Ace. But conversely, you should take the Late Surrender option when the dealer is showing an Ace and you have 15 in game where the Dealer rules state he should hit a soft 17.
Also in a single deck game should you be holding a sixteen and the dealer is showing a nine then don't take Late Surrender. If on the other hand you have a sixteen and the Dealer has a ten or an Ace then you should always take Late Surrender.
In a single deck game if you have been dealt a hand which is seventeen in total then don't take Late Surrender if the Dealer has a 9, 10, or (in a game where the Dealer stands a soft 17) an Ace. You should take Late Surrender if the dealer has an Ace and you have seventeen in game where the Dealer hits a soft 17.

Malathion is a parasympathomimetic organophosphate compound that is used as an insecticide for the treatment of head lice. Malathion is an irreversible cholinesterase inhibitor and has low human toxicity.
Malathion is a nonsystemic, wide-spectrum organophosphate insecticide. It inhibits acetylcholinesterase activity of most eukaryotes. Malathion is toxic to aquatic organisms, but has a relatively low toxicity for birds and mammals. The major metabolites of malathion are mono- and di-carboxylic acid derivatives, and malaoxon is a minor metabolite. However, it is malaoxon that is the strongest cholinesterase inhibitor. Cholinesterases catalyze the hydrolysis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine into choline and acetic acid, a reaction necessary to allow a cholinergic neuron to return to its resting state after activation. Because of its essential function, chemicals that interfere with the action of cholinesterase are potent neurotoxins, causing muscle spasms and ultimately death.
The major metabolites of malathion are the diacid and monoacid metabolites, namely, malathion dicarboxylic acid (DCA) and malathion monocarboxylic acid (MCA). Malaoxon, the active cholinesterase-inhibiting metabolite of malathion, is a minor metabolite. Both malathion and malaoxon are detoxified by carboxyesterases leading to polar, water-soluble compounds that are excreted.

Kim Deal "Are You Mine?" (video)
By Gregory Adams
Though the Breeders are currently out on the road celebrating the 20th anniversary of their Last Splash, frontwoman Kim Deal is also undertaking less retrograde activities by issuing solo 7-inches. A third slab of vinyl has now arrived, and you can check out A-side "Are You Mine?" in a new music video.
The true love-questioning single unfurls subtly, with acoustic melodies and gentle tambourine hits supporting Deal's softly cooed ruminations ("Let me go where there's no memory of you / Where everything is new / And nothing is true").
You can hear Deal sing the song as a camera pans across a collection of porcelain figurines in the player down below.
"Are You Mine?" is out now and can be ordered here.
Update: As a reader has pointed out and this review appears to corroborate, "Are You Mine?" apparently deals with Deal's mother's battle with Alzheimer's disease

American River College's Career Center, which offers up-to-date information on careers, occupations, and trends in the job market, held an open house on Feb. 23 to allow students, faculty and staff to view their newly remodeled offices and lab space.
The event also highlighted some of the services that the center offers, including job counseling, résumé workshops, interview training and personality-assessment tests.
All of the services are free to students.
Ostgaard recommends that students take a 10-minute personality test, which will help them determine which jobs would best suit them. Finding out what occupation best fits an individual's personality can prevent wasting time and money on classes that are unnecessary.
The Work Experience and Internship Program is also located in the Career Center.
Ayala urges students to come in and get registered in the Los Rios Internships & Career Services, called LINCS. It is used throughout the Los Rios district and contains information on full-time and part-time jobs, as well as paid and unpaid internships.
The Career Center is located in the Student Services building. Fall and spring hours are 8 a.m to 5 p.m. on Monday, Thursday and Friday and 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday. Students can walk in to use the computers for résumés, job searches and personality testing. An appointment is needed to meet with a counselor.

EU expresses its regret over execution of seven individuals in Kuwait
BRUSSELS: The EU expresses its regret over the execution of seven individuals in Kuwait today. This is the largest application of the death penalty since 2017. It represents a worrying increase in the trend of using the capital punishment in the State of Kuwait.
The executions coincided with the visit of Vice-President of the European Commission Margaritis Schinas in the country, who raised EU's concerns in this regard in his meetings with the Kuwaiti counterparts.
Human rights issues are at the core of EU's internal and external relations, directly affecting all our policies. EU will continue to raise its concerns in this regard with Kuwait at all levels, starting with the human rights dialogue foreseen for next week between the EU and Kuwait. The EEAS is summoning the Ambassador of Kuwait to the EU in this context.
The EU calls for a halt to executions and for a complete de facto moratorium on carrying out death penalty, as a first step towards a formal and full abolition of the death penalty in Kuwait.
As a matter of principle, the European Union is strongly opposed to the death penalty under all circumstances. It is a cruel and inhumane punishment, which fails to act as a deterrent to crime and represents an unacceptable denial of human dignity and integrity.
The European Union will continue to work for the abolition of the death penalty in the few remaining countries that still apply it.

Jenny Broman '10 giving blood at a Gustavus blood drive.
Members of the Gustavus Adolphus College and St. Peter communities alike will have the opportunity to give blood on Nov. 2 and 3 in Alumni Hall on the Gustavus campus from 12-6 p.m.
Anyone may sign-up outside the Market Place on Oct. 26-28 and Oct. 31-Nov. 1, or they may signup online. Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are strongly preferred.
Held each fall and spring, this American Red Cross blood drive gives hundreds of Gustavus community members the opportunity to help save a life by giving up just few minutes of their day.
The blood drive at Gustavus has been very successful in recent years, thanks to the community's generosity. "We've been the best school in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) in the past couple of years, in terms of the number of people giving blood. It's the kind of people who go here that give blood," senior Steven Manley said.
Junior Erik Velgersdyk has donated blood at Gustavus and is happy to be able to help others. "It's quick, and it's really easy," he said.
The need for blood is great and constant. Someone in the United States needs blood every two seconds. That amounts to a need for more than 38,000 blood donations each day, which help save the lives of 5 million people each year who are involved in accidents, undergoing chemotherapy, and more.
"No one really thinks about it, but when anyone gets hurt it's one the first things that people need. It's not complicated, but it's something that they need as much as any procedure," Manley said.
When disaster strikes around the country, blood is of urgent need. "Giving blood is one of the easiest things you can do to help. It takes just a half hour of your time, and it makes the biggest difference," junior Kate Redden said.
The blood drive at Gustavus is organized every fall and spring semester by communication studies students, and is sponsored by the Communication Studies Club.
If you have questions about your eligibility to donate blood, such as if you have been abroad recently, call the American Red Cross at (800) 733-3767. If you have other questions about the drive, contact Manley at smanley@gustavus.edu.


Who Owns the Salesperson's LinkedIn Account?
Owners/shareholders own businesses for many reasons, including selling the business at a value higher than the investment cost. However, when a business owner goes to sell his or her business and attempts to obtain the highest price available, it is important to understand where the value of that business lies and how to maximize that value to any potential buyer.
In many instances, a significant part of the business's value is found in the intellectual property possessed by the employees.
Part of that intellectual property is found in the trade secrets and confidential information that the company develops to provide its services and products faster, cheaper, and better over time. A very critical component is the customer networks that its sales/marketing people developed over time.
Who owns those networks, especially LinkedIn, and the data associated with them?
With the complete transparency, and to some degree, anonymity of the internet, the owner's duty to protect the intellectual property of his or her business becomes even more heightened.
Contrary to the new oracles, there is no such thing as free – everything that is created takes energy. Salespeople can be slowed down by nonsoliciations/noncompetes.
Companies can insist on owning the cell phones and smart phones. However, companies need to think about protecting the data that its employees develop on its time or downloaded from company data networks into LinkedIn, smart phones, emails, etc. This can be done by adding language protecting trade secrets and confidential information in data networks to employment manuals and employment agreements.
Today, businesses are bombarded with messages exhorting the establishment and maintenance of an organizational presence on popular Social Media sites and blogs. The members of Facebook, the largest social-networking site, with nearly 500 million members, or 22 percent of all Internet users, spend more than 700 billion minutes a month on the site. LinkedIn has over 75 million members in 200 countries and a new member joins LinkedIn approximately every seconds.
Your employees and your customers are becoming interdependent, sharing your trade secrets and confidential information at times when they are not careful. In short, your customers and employees are quickly and forcibly dictating your business operations and professional exchanges by becoming purchasing agents, spies, scouts, product reviewers and technical consultants for each other.
In every LinkedIn account that is established at the urging of the Company for the purpose of employment, there resides a goldmine of names, email addresses and other valuable contacts and professional information.
LinkedIn's position is that the account constitutes a contract between the employee and LinkedIn. There are no cases in the United States regarding this issue.
Employees proffer free speech arguments and contend that employee owns the LinkedIn account because it is part of their knowledge base and they are entitled to take those contacts with them throughout their career. Employers, in turn, argue that they paid the employee to develop the data, or paid more to hire a person with extensive data, and therefore anything developed on its time with its money is its property. English courts have ruled that Outlook address books amount to employer proprietary databases and belong to the employer.
So, what does a prudent owner do?
Create a policy that is placed in the employment manual or noncompete agreement that makes it clear that the Company makes a significant investment in establishing or increasing the employee's network of business contacts, that such information is protected confidential information or trade secrets and it is not to be disclosed. State affirmatively that direct dial telephone numbers, email addresses and other contact details that are generated on Company time or are provided by the Company are Company property and must be returned to the Company and deleted at the conclusion of the employment relationship.
New Hires can bargain with respect to who is exempted from the noncompete/nonsoliciation agreement and what information is exempt from the confidentiality/trade secret policy. This is in accord with Missouri and most states' trade secrets laws. This policy would also accord with a 2001 Australian case where the Court held in a nonsocial media context that when an employee copies a significant number of client contact details into a personal address book used in the course of her job, such confidential list belongs to the employer, and must be returned at the conclusion of employment.
Today, noncompete and nonsolicitation clauses are invaluable, but they are not enough. Owners and employers must exercise more self help methods and stay ahead of the game.
Just as it is critical for the owner/employer to own the cell phone/smart phone number, and not the employee, it is also critical to own the employer's confidential data infrastructure built on the employer's time. If and when you, the owner, sell the business, you want something to sell that is protectable. You do not want to become another version of Wall Street giant Merrill Lynch that purchased AXA's Advest Brokerage unit for $400 million in 2005 and by 2006 found that 417 of its 505 brokers had jumped ship with its customers and contacts.
Social media continues to rewrite the value of your business and you need to effectively manage and direct it or you will give it all away.

Q: Find a minimum of a quantity Let $n$ a positive integer. I have the following quantity:
$$Q = 3205 \cdot 3^{i-1} + 64i + 64i(3^{i-1}-1)-64(3^{i-1}-1)-32\times3^{i-1}(2i-5)+3$$
I would like to find the integer $i$ which minimizes $Q$, such that $Q \geq n-1$.
Can we give a formula for such $i$ in function of $n$? Is it computable?
Thank you in advance.

A: Well first thing I put your formula in WA and got that. Sorry for the tinyurl link but WA links are not great because of the parenthesis. Also I replaced $i$ with $k$ to not confuse Him. Assuming I didn't make typo and He is right we have :
$$
3301\cdot3^{k-1}+67 \geq n-1 \\
3^{k-1} \geq \frac{n-68}{3301} \\
(k-1)log(3) \geq log(n-68) -log(3301) \\
k \geq \frac{log(n-68) -log(3301)}{log(3)} + 1
$$

This snail sits in Het Park (The Park) in western Rotterdam in an area bordered by the river, the historic Scheepvaartkwartier, the Maas tunnel and the Westzeedijk. The photo was taken late in the morning on a warm and bright Sunday in mid-October. Such a day in Rotterdam is pleasing at any time of year, but in October it is a minor miracle.


News about the highly anticipated third series of Sherlock has started coming fast and furious now that production has finally kicked off on the new episodes. Yesterday, Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss officially revealed the title for the second episode of the series it is [drumroll, please] The Sign of Three.
The Sign of Three continues the Moffat/Gatiss tradition of referencing classic Sir Arthur Conan Doyle stories from the Sherlock Holmes canon in (most of) their episode names. In this particular episode, it looks like we're redoing the novel The Sign of Four, which involves, among other things, a missing father, secret criminal pacts, corrupt prison guards, and the introduction of Holmes' drug habit. How this episode fits in to the "three words" that producers teased as alleged clues to Series 3's content is anyone's guess.
The inclusion of an episode based on this story adds further fuel to the speculation fire that guest star Amanda Abbington's mystery character will in fact turn out to be Mary Morstan, love interest and future wife of John Watson. (A nice bit of art-imitating-life twist, in that Abbington is Martin Freeman's longtime romantic partner off-screen.) Watson meets Morstan in this story in the Conan Doyle canon – though oddly enough in canon she's also dead by the time of Sherlock's surprise resurrection – so clearly we're doing things a bit out of order in this particular adaptation.
The bit that will be especially interesting about this is that Moffat and Company have already used several elements of the story from The Sign of Four in Series 1's The Blind Banker, including the murder victim discovered in a locked room that's only accessible by climbing/by an acrobat and subordinate thieves who steal from the original thief. This is, of course, kind of minor in the grand scheme of things, in that Blind Banker pulled from a couple other stories including primarily The Adventure of the Dancing Men and Valley of Fear, but it's interesting to consider what the "primary bit" is from that story that'll get used here, outside of (presumably) Morstan as a central character.
Thoughts? What would you like to see in a BBC Sherlock adaptation of this particular Conan Doyle story? Let's discuss!


Trailing assets is big business enterprise for a company centered on maintaining a profitable bottom line. Prior to investing in a GPS tracking systems for equipment, trailers, and containers, it is vital to confirm that the unit can gratify and meet one's requisites. Global Positioning System tracking of assets provides greater protection and assurance in protecting assets such as equipment, containers, trailers and a lot more. Track What Matters announced their new advanced GPS asset tracking device recently, which can for certain help their clients to track their assets With the Track What Matters asset tracker, managers can get on-demand live web-based reporting ensuring that vehicle tracking of trailers, trucks, container shipments, and equipment are exactly wherever they are intended to be.
From a business point of view, it is very clear how the services provided by Track What Matters can add towards the bottommost line. But do not be duped by only the business vantages of this service. Families can understandably benefit from some of the products being offered by Track What Matters as well. Consider the GPS tracking devices they are offering, among which is called the Portable Tracking Device. Small, indiscrete and battery battery-powered, this unit can simply be placed in your car without anyone knowing what or where it is. You would then be able to supervise how fast anybody who uses the car has been driving and where exactly they have been in almost veridical time, and all these from the comfortableness of your home. Date and time synchronised reports can also be viewed online or printed.
my used town car has a gps tracking system on it that the person i bought it from installed. for some odd reason he wont tell me where it is. so i took it to a body shop and they told me where the antenna is but the cant find where the gps trackers brain is. they told me it would be best to just cut the antenna. the thing is i want to be able to use the antenna when i park my car somewhere im not familiar with. so i just want to be able to turn it off and on. so they told me to find a material that can interrupt the signal. can anyone help????
I wonder if it is possible to see where your car is using the gps tracking system on your phone to sync with the gps tracking system in your car.
If (or when) there was an extremely safe way to place a gps chip in your child – would you do it? Like the same way they place a micro-chip in animals?
If so how much would you be willing to pay for it?
I am always worried about some psycho kidnapping my children and with a GPS I would be able to track them down.
I need to know a gps tracking system or an app or something that i can get for free or use for free. I am wanting to track my bf cuz i feel that he may be lying to me about things and where hes at but, all these system i have found say the person has to accept the invite or accept the txt. I cant do any of that cuz i cant let him know that im gonna do this. He will say u tried to accept me to a gps thing cuz u dont trust me. He would also say u dont need to know where im at. So please help me find some way to track his phone with out goin through him or with out him knowing. Isnt there a system that you can type in the person phone number and start tracking them. Help. I have an Android phone so i can use my phone for this. HELP.
i want to buy a gps system for my husband, but not sure what to get. ive been looking online and found two that seem pretty cool and that have good reviews. but i cant seem to figure out what the big deal is between the two except for the $100 price difference. Can someone help me pick? Also, if theres a better one out there what is it? i know that i want the text to speech feature, but not sure what other features are important/nice to have. im also not sure which is better/ has more memory. the ones with the built in memory or the ones that have sd cards. HELP! I dont want to spend more than $350. the two that i am currently torn between are the garmin nuvi 350 and the garmin nuvi 260w…basically i want to know what the diff is between the two, which would you all reccommend, is there a better one out there for what i want to spend, and what features are a must have in a gps??
I want peoples opinions on best GPS tracking devices,.
Anyways, I own a company and I've caught my workers in a lie of telling me what time they returned from a job site. They claimed 4pm and all of them had it on their time cards, and yet I saw them returning home at about 1:30pm.. I'm in search of a really great GPS tracking system with great battery life, and be able to see where they are, and what time they're returning back to the shop.
What are those GPS tracking gizmo chips inyected/inserted in a dog's skin called?
Also, where can I find some info on getting one that can be tracked worldwide or is there something I can use to find my dog just in case?
My dad owns a used car dealership. He recently purchased a GPS tracking device off Ebay relatively cheap. The intent is to install GPS systems in the more expensive cars we sell so that if people skip town or move we have a way to locate the car for repossession. My question is how do units like this work? From my understanding you have to buy a SIM card and install it in this thing. Then from there you can send a SMS text message to the SIM card and it will respond with Latitude and Longitude of the unit.
Neither one of us really understand completely how this works. Where we could get our hands on a SIM card or if there is a way to get one without a monthly fee or anything like that.
Also is there a GPS tracking unit we could buy that wouldn't need a SIM card that we could just track online or something? We don't really need anything fancy and would prefer something with no monthly fee. It's likely that we'd never have to use it but if someone takes off with a $10,000 car we'd like to be able to track it down.
I am developing a GPS tracking system for tracking individuals, and require a small self powered unit, which i may place into a custom wearable enclosure with on-board power, rfid, power source and to fit in a watch sized package.
The device must contain a slot for a SIM, power supply, antenna (etched on the PCB possibly) and a RFID chip. I will require scalable units to purchase, and need support in modifying and testing of the final design.
I am a mechanical engineer, and product design consultant. I will specify the product brief, packaging and mechanical constraints for the package. I requrie help and suppliers for the electronics.
If a fleet of vehicles were getting fitted with a tracking system so they could be monitored from the office. What do you think the pros and cons would be to set the system up?
Although, Glonass is fairly new however there's a lot of noise about it over GPS especially when Nokia and Apple have tied with this Russian Major.
I am still wondering which technology is better for Vehicle Tracking/Fleet Management.
I have a job interview soon with a car rental place at the air port to uninstall and install GPS Navigation systems. I'm MECP certified, and I have installed countless GPS "tracking" systems (easy). But i've never installed a GPS Navigation system. How much more difficult is it? I'd imagine it's just some more wires like radio antenna, and splicing the stock radio wires into it, as well as installing the screen. I just want to be ready.
I need to get a 12V+ constant, 12V+ ignition and ground. How can I remove the ignition tumbler to get access to these wires?
Does anyone have any experience, which are the latest after-market vehicle theft recovery (tracking) systems that also get good reception and work on a convertible? The mounting of the antenna is particularly problematic on older (classic Mercedes) convertibles because the steel dash shields the antenna and other locations, either don't provide enough space or create other problems.
I would like to be able to not only track the car on-line, but also by calling in to check for its current location (for instance, when I am parked in a parking garage in the mall, etc.
I am not interested in LoJack or Teletrac as they do not work well. Also, I would like to be able to track the car myself via internet.
My main problems with the past systems that I have used is that they often did not work, especially when the car is near an airport, inside a garage or in other "dead zones".
