Very often we buy the bike that is already full of lights and system to make them work. This, quite often, it's all our efforts and knowledge in terms of lighting. The bicycle we buy for the brand, for color, for v-brakes rather than discs, for the type of handlebar, we evaluate the weight, how much speed he etc…, but normally the lighting system does not fall within the criteria of almost never choice. Everything depends on the fact that the vast majority of people rule out leaving the bike night considering it dangerous and inconvenient. (I can guarantee is the best climatic period and that with a proper preparation and caution it is much more visible at night than during the day). If consumers like us so we place on the market, it happens immediately that this essential component to our security will be underestimated by manufacturers and are limited to those 4 regoline that allow their bikes to be okay with the law which, however, is very permissive in made of brightness. (in Germany sell headlights and for their power are banned in the city, to tell where you can get).
According to Ebicyclelights, the bicycle lights have two functions: to see and to be seen. The market offers an endless choice: the headlights positioned on the fork, to those on the handlebars, the helmet, battery operated, rather than induction etc… Do not miss the course load dynamo that when it is inserted into the hub is producing big news in relation to all electronic equipment from the phone to the iPhone browser. We will start this cognitive excursion with the front light, dividing the various types according to the fuel system.
Almost all of us have cycled on a bicycle with a dynamo that with a slight pressure was leaning against the tire so that the motion of the wheel produce the current necessary to the functioning of the front and rear light. It was a very noisy machine and also slowed down a lot. The energy produced was not very good because braking the rolling decreased the energy produced and with bulbs that there were at that time the light was really poor. So much ado about not much. Even today it is admitted and we find out new bikes from city, but it is definitely ultrasuperata and time. With a little evil think that the dynamo has become, as a result of this solution, an object unpopular and did not contribute to the growth of the need to be well lit. And the obvious solution for a producer who must stay within budget, and enough to be okay with the law. Declared values Volts 6 3 3 watts.
But fortunately the dynamo has evolved and improved by far its efficiency since it was placed in the wheel hub. In addition, through appropriate accessories can be loaded with its movement also the navigator, phone the iphone etc. positioned in the hub has a low rolling resistance even if some models on this differ and are more efficient than others. What is astonishing is that are given with the same characteristics and 6 volt 3 watt of previous models: everything is, therefore, in efficiency. Despite being heavier than the tire, they have gained credibility because they are very quiet and because the friction they need to function is not felt in any way.
Over a dynamo Shimano producing different models from 24 euro to 74 euro. And to the right of the Son Nabendynamo which models 200 and 240 euro. The difference is of course in the components. Without going into the story details the difference being the owner of the Shimano: I was confronted with a friend who has the Son. On two trestles we mounted two wheels and we run at the same speed: while being very satisfied with my I have found that my wheel has stopped long before the Son, which means it has more friction. Incidentally I found this movie to Youtube (which seems to me a bit over the top for the truth, according to my test: the wheel does not stop so suddenly) but that makes the idea. All these dynamo also have a protection against the possibility of overload and are provided for all types of wheel: with 32 or 36 rays, for bikes with disc brakes and normal.
It must be said that until now these devices are always in friction, although is not felt. This meant that it was decided to use it to charge a power supply that in turn loads cellphone, gps, mp3 players and other devices. The voltage and the output current are adjustable in order to not cause damage to connected devices. But to remedy the defect always be shot, recently came also a dynamo that can be defused when you want. As seen in the picture just turn the star: Clockwise off the contact, turn the other way. It is produced by SP.

White Flower Farm is a family-owned nursery based in Northwest Connecticut. Since 1950, we've been growing a wide range of ornamental plant varieties, and delivering them to gardeners all over the country. Our mission is to help gardeners succeed by supplying top quality plant material, comprehensive cultural information, and superior customer service. Whether you are an experienced horticulturalist on the lookout for unusual cultivars, or a newcomer to gardening, we're here to help.
White Flower Farm's history dates back to the late 1930s when the company's founders William Harris and Jane Grant moved to Connecticut and promptly caught the gardening bug. Before long their shared hobby had evolved into a small business, and by the early '50s, White Flower Farm was regularly mailing catalogs and looked something like the company as it exists today. In the '50s, the American gardening market was a bit of a backwater, and Harris and Grant took it upon themselves to expose their customers to the latest hybrids from Europe, Japan, and elsewhere. Today, of course, gardeners are awash in information, and we understand our job to include both seeking out the best new introductions and making sure that time-tested varieties aren't lost in the marketing shuffle. One need look no further than Lilium speciosum rubrum, featured prominently in our Autumn 1951 catalog and still a customer favorite, to see that some things simply can't be improved upon.
Jane Grant passed away in 1973, and Harris sold the company to its current owner, Eliot Wadsworth, in 1976. Our staff now numbers several dozen, most of whom are professional or amateur horticulturalists. We are as committed as Harris & Grant were to doing right by White Flower Farm's customers, to whom we are immensely grateful for their continued support and feedback.

Andrei Lungu (* 29. Januar 1989 in Cluj-Napoca) ist ein rumänischer Fußballspieler im defensiven Mittelfeld. Seit Mitte 2017 spielt er für CS Juventus Bukarest.

Karriere
Cretu begann das Fußballspielen in seinem Geburtsort beim Ardealul Cluj-Napoca. Danach folgte ein sechsjähriger Aufenthalt bei Sportul Studențesc. Dort absolvierte er in der Saison 2010/11 seine ersten Spiele als Profi in der höchsten rumänischen Liga. In der darauf folgenden Saison gelangen ihm bei 30 Spielen fünf Tore, konnte aber den Abstieg in die Liga II nicht verhindern. 2013 wechselte er zum Universitatea Cluj, wo er wieder in der ersten Liga spielte. Beim Cupa României 2014/15 stand er mit Universitatea Cluj im Finale, das man jedoch gegen Steaua Bukarest mit 0:3 verlor. Nach Ende der Saison 2014/15 war Lungu für kurze Zeit vereinslos. Im September 2015 schloss er sich dem israelischen Verein Hapoel Petach Tikwa an. Im Januar 2016 verpflichtete der FC Energie Cottbus Lungu. Er erhielt einen bis 2017 gültigen Vertrag. Er absolvierte lediglich sieben Spiele, wobei er kein Tor erzielte.

Nachdem er mit Cottbus in die Regionalliga abgestiegen war, verließ er den Verein im Sommer 2016. Lungu wechselte in die höchste rumänische Liga zum FC Voluntari. Dort kam er meist als Einwechselspieler zum Zuge. Anfang 2017 verpflichtete ihn der israelische Zweitligist Hapoel Ironi HaScharon. Ein halbes Jahr später kehrte er nach Rumänien zurück, wo er sich Aufsteiger CS Juventus Bukarest anschloss. Nach erneutem Engagement bei HaScharon verbrachte er ab 2018 seine Spielzeiten wiederum bei Vereinen des Heimatlandes.

Open Doors: An important opportunity for industry
All across Great Britain, construction companies will throw open the gates to their sites, factories, offices, and training centres for a unique chance to go behind-the-scenes. The week-long campaign, Open Doors, takes place 16 – 21 March this year and many sites are already preparing to welcome a whole host of visitors.
This year, in light of the Coronavirus, Open Doors is changing from onsite visits to digital ones. Find out more on Open Doors website.
Kier, a leading provider of construction and infrastructure services, has a long-running history of participating in the initiative and understands the benefits it brings. Kier's Assistant Design Manager, Zara Edmondson, has been part of its Open Doors working group for the last four years, as it aims to attract more people to consider a career within the built environment. Here, Zara reveals the value of taking part and why it's important for more businesses to get on board.
"Open Doors Week is a fantastic initiative and I am proud to have been involved with it for the last four years. Over this time, I have been able to work on various elements, from regional events through to national involvement.
"It really is a team effort; there are so many people from Kier involved in making the week a success. There is a team of us who look after the whole of Open Doors for the company, from starting off at the ground level through to finishing on that final day.
"I have been able to work with people from across the business, learn about their skill sets and explore their routes to entry. It's clear there is no fixed way into construction and that people can join from all different backgrounds and at different stages in their careers."
"We open sites across the country and this year we have some brilliant sites for people to visit; from Heatherwood Hospital in Ascot, to the Royal College of Arts in London, and Ponteland in Northumberland. Last year, we had over 1,000 visitors attend one site alone.
"I work with our site teams to monitor the stages of the projects and then build a profile on them. This might involve PowerPoint presentations, talking through the planning process or visitors can also look through drawings on-site.
"We're also trying to introduce other aspects, such as 3D models and headsets for 3D imaging, to make the experience interactive and engaging.
"It's important to note that we open not just our front offices but our sites, to explain the whole process of a project. This includes where we've come from to where we are now, and what we'll be doing going forward."
"Visitors have the chance to see first-hand what we are doing in their local community, and ask us the questions they've always wondered. I believe this is so important because it gives us the chance to change people's perceptions. We often have feedback from visitors, telling us how fascinating they found the information after attending.
"Open Doors provides a platform to showcase all that goes into a building, including the variety of people involved in making a scheme happen. Ultimately, it's the chance to remove the stereotypical image too often associated with builders.
"Construction is not just about getting dirty on a building site; there is so much more to it. Whether you are interested in law, technology, plumbing or HR, construction has a place for you. By visiting our projects and talking with us, people can discover the variety of jobs available.
"If we can give just a snapshot of what the industry is really all about during this week, then we can inspire this generation of workers, and the next, to consider a role within it. I am hugely proud to work within the built environment, like all at Kier, I want to be able to talk about it and attract others to come and join it."
Site registration closes 28 February. Don't miss out on your chance to register and join us in opening your doors this year. Open Doors is a Build UK initiative, in partnership with CITB.

10 games in 41 days but only 8 in 85 days, when did anybody at Newcastle United ever vote for this?
Newcastle United played out a 1-1 draw with Watford on 31 August 2019 and on 25 November 2019 they will play at Aston Villa, in the intervening 85 days there were only eight NUFC matches.
Compare that to then between playing Villa on 25 November 2019 and a third round FA Cup match scheduled for 4 January 2020, in 41 days Newcastle will have 10 games.
Most definitely famine and feast.
Yet when was this actually decided and by who…that within a few games into every Premier League season there would then be a two week international break in September, then another one in October, plus another in November?
Of course fans don't get a vote, why on earth would they…
The trouble is, all of the authorities make these different decisions, none of them positive for football fans, then it is only later that supporters realise what has happened.
The problem is as well that all of these governing bodies (FIFA, UEFA, Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga etc) are all fighting their own selfish corner, with fans left without a voice, let alone power.
For those who grew up in the 60s, 70s and 80s, European football was exciting. Every game meant something because it was all knockout and an open free draw, no seeding, whether it was the European Cup, UEFA Cup, Cup Winners Cup or whatever.
Can you really believe that it is intended from 2021 to have the Europa Conference League, a third level European competition below the other two, with 32 teams and eight losers falling into it from the Europa League. Clubs in groups of course to ensure as many games as possible.
So the Europa League that is so derided by so many is now to have a still inferior league below that, just imagine the likes of Man Utd having to play in that!
You then have the Club World Cup in December and the farce of Liverpool playing two games in two days, playing a completely different team in their League Cup quarter-final.
Honestly, the whole thing is a joke.
Look at the World Cup and European Championships, both competitions with never ending numbers of qualifiers to play and then ever expanding finals in terms of the number of teams who qualify.
It feels like now we go through all of these eternal tedious games and in the end it is only San Marino and Scotland who end up not qualifying!
Look at the qualification for the 2020 Euros, as well as the normal qualifying groups they then added an extra competition (Nations League) which could also help you qualify. Loads more meaningless games and for whose benefit?
England beat Montenegro 7-0 a few days ago and Harry Kane scored a hat-trick, yet even Gary Lineker came out and said that compared to years gone by, Kane's hat-trick meant very little with this proliferation of matches against nothing teams.
Back in 1978 England missed out on qualification for the World Cup because only one went through in a four team group and it was them or Italy, two of the top teams, England missing out on goal difference.
There are a massive 24 countries heading to the 2020 Euros finals, back in 1976 there were only four. Czechoslovakia beating Holland and West Germany beating Yugoslavia in the semis, then the Czechs victorious in the final.
Back in the day, players would play for their clubs on a Saturday, head off that night and join the England (and other countries) squad. A few days together and play their match on the Wednesday, then back to the club for their game on the Saturday.
Yet now England (and the rest) have a two week break from club football in order to work out how to beat San Marino and/or Montenegro.
Football tourists, people wanting to go to an 'occasion' and locals with cheap tickets fill Wembley for walkover after walkover. Who is interested?
Domestic club football, by a country mile the most important thing in football and the thing that everything else feeds off, gets ever more squeezed.
There has been constant pressure for some time to have groups of eight clubs in the Champions League, to ensure obviously many more games. Just think how many meaningless matches that would mean?
To accommodate that of course, domestic club football would once again be squeezed, as always.
The drive towards pushing more and more money, matches and focus onto national sides and elite clubs is never ending.
The real power of football is in domestic club football and the strength of those competitions, yet they are looking ever more likely to kill off their golden goose that is laying ever more lucrative eggs.
When you then have a club like Newcastle United with no ambition under Mike Ashley, especially with regard to cup competitions and Europe, you already see the crowds dramatically dropping as fans say enough is enough. When you add his impact on top of what has been outlined above, what will be the health of NUFC in 10 years time?
(***Even Scotland might qualify for this one…)

Q: How to test for a broken connection of TCPClient after being connected? I've been fighting with one problem for a whole 3 days I can't find any solution, please help :)
I work with Visual Studio 2010 and C# language.
I have a device working like a server, that sends some data in a very irregular periods of time (not possible to define any read timeout).
I wrote a TCP client to connect to that server and read data. It works OK, however when something is wrong with the network and server becomes unavailable (e.g. when I plug out the network cable from my computer), it takes about 10 seconds for application to "notice" there is no connection to the server and throw an exception. (I don't know why exactly 10 seconds? Where it's defined? Can I change it?)
I want to react faster - let say after one second after connection broken.
Googling for answer however doesn't provide me any working solution.
The test code is below, I try to make it on 2 threads: one is reading data, the second one is looking for connection status and should alarm me when it's broken. It's not working neither for TCPClient nor Socket class. I've tried to read / write some data with tcpClient.SendTimeout = 100; and stream.WriteTimeout = 100; but it doesn't seem to work.

            }
        }

}

Edit:
@carsten's answer: although it looks promising, this solution do not work...
I made the simplest test application for that:

                int port = 3000;

                using (TcpClient tcpClient = new TcpClient())
                {
                    tcpClient.Connect(server, port);

                    int i = 0;
                    while (true)
                    {
                        // This is how you can determine whether a socket is still connected.
                        bool blockingState = tcpClient.Client.Blocking;
                        try
                        {
                            byte[] tmp = new byte[1];

                            tcpClient.Client.Blocking = false;
                            tcpClient.Client.Send(tmp, 0, 0);
                            Console.WriteLine("Connected!");
                        }
                        catch (SocketException e)
                        {
                            // 10035 == WSAEWOULDBLOCK
                            if (e.NativeErrorCode.Equals(10035))
                                Console.WriteLine("Still Connected, but the Send would block");
                            else
                            {
                                Console.WriteLine("Disconnected: error code {0}!", e.NativeErrorCode);
                            }
                        }
                        finally
                        {
                            tcpClient.Client.Blocking = blockingState;
                        }

                        Console.WriteLine("Connected: {0} ({1})", tcpClient.Client.Connected, i++);

                        Thread.Sleep(1000);
                    }
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Global exception: {0}", ex.Message);
            }
        }
    }
}

The results are following, it displays:
Connected!
Connected: True
plus my order number every one second. When I disconnect network cable, it takes 8 seconds to start printing:
Disonnected: error code 10054!
Connected: False
so by 8 seconds I'm not aware that the connection is lost. It looks like pinging is the best option here, yet I'll test another solutions.

A: Simple answer. You can't. Tcp is made in a way which doesn't allow this. However, the normal way to achieve this is to send ping's with shorter interval than messages. So, say, that whenever you get a message from the server, you start a clock that count down 1 min, then you send a "ping" command (if you haven't received a new message in between). If you don't receive a response to your "ping" within 30 seconds, you conclude that the connection is broken.
Theoretically, you should be able to do this on a package-level (tcp sends ACK which you should be able to check for), but I don't know if that's possible in C#, or any programming language for that matter, or if you need to do that in firmware/hardware.

A: I think this is a question that often comes around. This might be why MSDN docs really give a good answer to this - see Socket.Connected
Quote from there:

The Connected property gets the connection state of the Socket as of
  the last I/O operation. When it returns false, the Socket was either
  never connected, or is no longer connected.
The value of the Connected property reflects the state of the
  connection as of the most recent operation. If you need to determine
  the current state of the connection, make a nonblocking, zero-byte
  Send call. If the call returns successfully or throws a WAEWOULDBLOCK
  error code (10035), then the socket is still connected; otherwise, the
  socket is no longer connected.

with this sample code:
// .Connect throws an exception if unsuccessful
client.Connect(anEndPoint);

// This is how you can determine whether a socket is still connected.
bool blockingState = client.Blocking;
try
{
    byte [] tmp = new byte[1];

    client.Blocking = false;
    client.Send(tmp, 0, 0);
    Console.WriteLine("Connected!");
}
catch (SocketException e)
{
    // 10035 == WSAEWOULDBLOCK
    if (e.NativeErrorCode.Equals(10035))
        Console.WriteLine("Still Connected, but the Send would block");
    else
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Disconnected: error code {0}!", e.NativeErrorCode);
    }
}
finally
{
    client.Blocking = blockingState;
}

 Console.WriteLine("Connected: {0}", client.Connected);

and the straight forward motification for an extension-method:
public static bool IsConnected(this Socket client)
{
   // This is how you can determine whether a socket is still connected.
   bool blockingState = client.Blocking;
   try
   {
       byte [] tmp = new byte[1];

       client.Blocking = false;
       client.Send(tmp, 0, 0);
       return true;
   }
   catch (SocketException e)
   {
       // 10035 == WSAEWOULDBLOCK
       if (e.NativeErrorCode.Equals(10035))
           return true;
       else
       {
           return false;
       }
   }
   finally
   {
       client.Blocking = blockingState;
   }
}

A: This is a very old thread, but it's the first SO post that came up when I searched for this question and I found a more useful solution somewhere else, so I thought I'd post a link to it to help others in the future:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c857cad5-2eb6-4b6c-b0b5-7f4ce320c5cd/c-how-to-determine-if-a-tcpclient-has-been-disconnected?forum=netfxnetcom&prof=required
ElFenix posted this answer that worked for me:
// Detect if client disconnected
if (tcp.Client.Poll(0, SelectMode.SelectRead))
{
  byte[] buff = new byte[1];
  if (tcp.Client.Receive(buff, SocketFlags.Peek) == 0)
  {
    // Client disconnected
    bClosed = true;
  }
}

A: it will be correct and working if you type the following:
byte[] tmp = new byte[] {0};
...
client.Send(tmp, 1, 0);
...

A: Just in case anyone else needs something simple and effective.
This is the code I came up with
            while (true)
            {

                string s = null;
                DateTime readLag = DateTime.Now;
                try
                {
                    s = streamIn.ReadLine();
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    SocketException sockEx = ex.InnerException as SocketException;
                    if (sockEx != null)
                    {
                        OnDebug("(" + sockEx.NativeErrorCode + ") Exception = " + ex);
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        OnDebug("Not SockEx :" + ex);
                    }
                }

                if (enableLog) OnDebug(s);
                if (s == null || s == "")
                {
                    if (readLag.AddSeconds(.9) > DateTime.Now)
                    {
                        break;
                    }
                }
                else
                {
                    CommandParser(s);
                }
            }

What I got was native error 10035 every time a read failed but would block.
When the connection was trashed, I instantly got a return with no data.
Setting the readLag.AddSeconds() to just below my read timeout would give me a pretty good idea that the time never elapsed, and I got no data. Which should not happen.
Soon as this criteria popped up, I just kick out of the loop and the thread ends.
Hope this helps anyone else out there.

A: There is a socket option called SO_KEEPALIVE from the oginal unix implemetnation that has the TCP protocol send occasional probes to make sure the other end of the pipe is still listening. It can be set along with how often the probes are set via Socket.IOControl

Q: angular.extend doesnt work in Angularjs app to merge 2 arrays I wanna merge two arrays but the result always is null. I dont know whats the problem here is my code :
$scope.messages=[];
$scope.messagesRecieved=[];
$scope.messagesSent=[];
Message.getMessengerMessages(localStorage.getItem("token"),localStorage.getItem("contact")).then(function(messages){

 $scope.messagesRecieved=messages;

})
console.log('le contact est '+localStorage.getItem("contact") +'Lutilisateur est  '+localStorage.getItem("token"))
Message.getMessengerMessages(localStorage.getItem("contact"),localStorage.getItem("token")).then(function(messages){

 $scope.messagesSent=messages;
 for (var i=0; i<messages.length; i++) {
  if(messages[i].read=='no'){
    Message.modifyRead(messages[i]._id);
  }
 }
})
angular.extend( $scope.messages, $scope.messagesRecieved, $scope.messagesSent);

Message is a service.

A: angular.extend is used to merge objects, not arrays. You probably want to use Array.concat here.
$scope.messages = $scope.messages
                        .concat($scope.messagesRecieved)
                        .concat($scope.messagesSent);

A: I'm guessing you only use $scope.messagesRecieved and $scope.messagesSent as intermediates, for deriving $scope.messages, not for driving the view.
If so, they can disappear and messagesRecieved/messagesSent can be delivered down a promise chain starting with Promise.all() to aggregate your two Message.getMessengerMessages() promises.
Also, to concatenate arrays, use newArray = array1.concat(array2).
// $scope.messagesRecieved = []; // not necessary unless there's a corresponding view element
// $scope.messagesSent = []; // not necessary unless there's a corresponding view element
$scope.messagesSent = []; // you only need to do this if you want to nullify a view element while the two async gets are underway.

var receivedPromise = Message.getMessengerMessages(localStorage.getItem('token'), localStorage.getItem('contact'));

var sentPromise = Message.getMessengerMessages(localStorage.getItem('contact'), localStorage.getItem('token')).then(function(messages) {
    for(var i=0; i<messages.length; i++) {
        if(messages[i].read == 'no') {
            Message.modifyRead(messages[i]._id); // if Message.modifyRead() is async, this code block is a bit different
        }
    }
});

Promise.all(receivedPromise, sentPromise).then(function(messagesRecieved, messagesSent) {
    $scope.messages = messagesRecieved.concat(messagesSent);
});

Now the Details
Media, ethics, and journalism. What works. What doesn't.
Jeffrey Dvorkin
Teaching Twitter
According to The Guardian, British schools will be teaching a higher level of
media literacy in state schools. This will include showing British kids how to
"tweet" and how to use wikipedia. Teaching some aspects of British history, such as World War Two, will be optional.
As a former historian, I admit to being torn between having to choose between the past and the present. Certainly, there is an argument that can be made that there remains a powerful, if indirect connection between what society experienced then and how we live now.
Still I admire the proposal for giving students a level of media literacy, and hopefully to teach them how to use these platforms in a way that deepens our awareness of new media beyond the trivial.
Lee Glendinning
BIG BROTHER, SMALL PUPILS
The growth of Twitter and various social networking sites and the
spread of their tentacles into various tenets of society dominates
the front pages today, albeit in different ways.
The Guardian reports that under draft proposals to overhaul the
primary curriculum, the Victorians and the second world war will be
jettisoned in favour of teaching children about Twitter, blogging,
podcasts and Wikipedia.
According to the article, the new curriculum marks the biggest change
to primary school teaching in a decade and strips away hundreds of
specifications about the scientific, geographical, and historical
knowledge that pupils must accumulate before they reach 11 years old.
Interestingly, the Independent splashes on another encroachment of new
technology with news of the possibility for a government database to
monitor social networking sites.
The home office minister, Vernon Coaker, has disclosed that social
networking sites could be forced to retain information about users'
web-browsing habits and could also be required to hold data about
every person that users' correspond with.
Isabella Sankey, policy director at Liberty, the civil rights group,
told the paper: "Even before you throw Facebook and other social
networking sites into the mix, the proposed central communications
database is a terrifying prospect. It would allow the government to
record every email, text message and phone call and would turn
millions of innocent Britons into permanent suspects."

Home Edu News Liberalisation led to rise of standalone family firms

Liberalisation led to rise of standalone family firms
Hyderabad: Liberalisation led to the rise of Standalone Family Firms (SFFs) in India and they were the primary drivers of accelerating the growth of the services sector in the country, reveals a study.
Conducted by the Thomas Schmidheiny Centre for Family Enterprise at the Indian School of Business (ISB), the study chronicles the evolution of family businesses in India since the initiation of liberalisation in the country.
The study was authored by Nupur Pavan Bang and Professor Kavil Ramachandran of the Thomas Schmidheiny Centre for Family Enterprise at ISB and Professor Sougata Ray of IIM Calcutta. It traces the progress of Indian family businesses over a 26 year period from 1990 to 2015. The authors studied 4,809 firms listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE) of India.
The study finds that not only did the family firms withstand the new rush of competitive forces in the economy, but also adapted to the changing business environment. Based on their shareholding and management control, the companies were classified into two categories: Family Businesses (FBs) and Non-Family Businesses (NFBs).
Family businesses were further classified into Family business group affiliated firms (FBGFs) and Standalone family firms (SFFs). Close to 73 per cent of the listed standalone family firms were incorporated in the period 1981 to 1995. In comparison, only 49 per cent of the business group affiliated family firms were incorporated in the same period.
As the pace of reforms picked up with liberalisation, more and more standalone family firms started to leverage the changing business landscape. While the family business group firms did take advantage of the reforms in the early stages, it was the standalone family firms that emerged as the single largest ownership category in terms of number of firms.
The growth in the number of standalone family firms was driven primarily by the new firms in the services sector. Wholesale trade, financial services and Information Technology were the most favoured industries for the listed standalone family firms. This was reminiscent of the rising contribution of the services sector to the GDP.
According to the study, the financial year 1990, services sector accounted for about 45 per cent of India's GDP while its contribution was close to 60 per cent in 2015. Traditionally, family businesses were strong in manufacturing but they showed an equal penchant for the services sector, when the opportunities arose.
But, standalone family firms were the fastest growing category in the services. It was because of their entrepreneurial acumen that India's services sector has grown so well in recent years, the study found.
While manufacturing and services contributed almost equally to the total assets for family firms, in the case of non-family businesses, the services sector accounted for more than 90 percent of their total assets.
Amongst the non-family firms, the state-owned enterprises dominate the services sector with large assets in the banking sector, whereas, the sector accounted for just 18 percent of the total assets of multinational companies.
Family businesses grew faster and contributed more to the GDP and exchequer: The study shows that the representation of family businesses grew at a much faster rate than the non-family businesses. In fact, evidence suggests that removal of restrictions and controls in the liberalised era actually unleashed their entrepreneurial spirit.
In 1990, family firms represented 15.7 per cent of the GDP in terms of their total income, whereas by 2015, they represented 25.5 per cent of the GDP. In comparison, non-family firms formed 20.5 per cent of the GDP in 1990 and 26.6 per cent in 2015.

More character development-driven thread here, this thread's focusing on the action.
This is the sixth Arena thread bah gawd.
Alright, this is gonna be a bit wordy, but don't worry, most of it is just me clarifying rules, and adding Examples of Play to help people out a bit.
So getting on with it, The Rules.
Play as your avatar. It's simply easier for everyone to assume your avatar is who you're playing as, as it should be. While it's a big big pet peeve of mine, it's also honestly not THAT severe of an offense, so at most, if someone repeats this countless times, a stern little reminder might be given.
Be reasonable. If your character's likely going to take a hit, let him take a hit, please. If Bob Sagat's getting shot at by a machine gun, he's PROBABLY gonna take a bullet or two even if its nonlethal. Example: Steve Austin lost track of Geese Howard in the middle of a fight, when Geese suddenly comes up with a kick to the back of the head. In all fairness, it's pretty unlikely Steve's gonna see it coming, unless Geese gives a warcry beforehand, or another indicator of his presence.
Ghosting and Autohitting. This is when you either dodge attacks continuously to the point of ridiculousness, or write posts as if your attack is absolutely guaranteed to hit. While normally a pretty easy to understand rule, sometimes there's a bit of confusion. Let's take the move Aerial Ace from Pokémon for example. Ingame, it never misses, no matter how evasive the enemy is. Instead, of that, however, you could write that the Pokemon using the move is instead "slicing at an incredible speed". Still highly likely to hit, but it gives room for the character to dodge if they're able to. As for ghosting, sometimes characters might do a thing where they turn invincible, example being the Medic and whoever he's paired with's Ubercharge. For this, I'd say decide on a post limit for how long it lasts, and don't abuse it.
Original Characters: I'm not gonna be super hard on this one, but I'm not gonna be as lenient as before. If you wanna play an OC, notify me first. I promise myself that I won't abuse this myself, either, since I'll likely be playing OCs here myself.
The Fourth Wall Rule: The fourth wall's always had a bit of negative history in the Arena, but I think I'm gonna be a bit lenient with it in this generation. If you want to have a character who is already an established "wall breaker" character make a quick little remark on the "Almighty nerds who run this showbiz", go ahead. If this gets out of hand and people start using it to give these characters advantages (Example: Deadpool is facing off against Crocodile. Deadpool suddenly looks at a wiki page to learn that Crocodile is weak to water, before tossing a bucket of the stuff at him.), there will be consequences and I might have to tighten this rule. If anybody uses this to complain about other players unironically, there will be a full ban on this.
Character Balancing: I'm not gonna make people unable to play characters they like for whatever reason, but if you're worried that a character might be TOO powerful, message me! We can work out checks and balances together. Example: Bigg Kok 9001 wants to play Superman, but he's concerned that he might be a bit too busted for the Arena (which, well, he's right by a wide margin). He messages me, and we work out a few checks and balances to make him a fair character.
Character Bans: Please no religious figures, unless it's either a fictional representation (many Shin Megami Tensei characters, as an example), or a sillier take on somebody else (Jesus Christ, except he's ripped and has guns and smokes, or stuff like that). If, however, you abuse this to soapbox, or even intentionally try to piss off other people about something (Jesus Christ except he's an insane normal man who gets put down easily), I will restrict this rule further. No one likes a bigot. Characters who fight in an explicitly sexual manner will also be banned. This includes stuff such as Senran Kagura characters, unless you ignore the "they get stronger with less clothes" thing and just play them with their other abilities. I wanna keep this at a relatively low level in terms of sexual themes. When it comes to gore and such though, go nuts.
Gun Laws: You may only carry a firearm large enough to not be able to be concealed in one's clothing no this isn't britain. If you're playing a character that can easily tank attacks that aren't excessively powerful, then at least let them take SOME damage from those things in this thread. I'm using guns as an example, because it's a good one. Say John Rambo is fighting off against Goku. In Dragon Ball, characters far weaker than Goku can take bullets without flinching, so for fairness sake, reduce the durability to a semi-reasonable standpoint. You don't have to have your normally invincible character die to a single pistol shot, but it's gonna ''hurt'' still.
Entry "Rule": This isn't a rule so much as a suggestion, but if there's a fight going on, and you wanna jump in, don't have your entry post be "My Character comes in and attacks Your Character." Instead, try something more like this: "Quote appears in the Arena, looking around confused a bit, until he sees Reaper maniacally laughing as he shoots at Kirby. Readying his gun, he rushes to assist the puffball." This helps get your character involved, and gives the other players an opportunity to react to the new guy.
Mind control! This is a really fun and interesting idea, but it can also be abused. So if you wanna have your character possess someone and make them do something they wouldn't otherwise, try having some sort of "inner battle" type deal. The exception, of course, is if the player allows it to go through easily anyway.
This one's more a suggestion, but I've seen this issue crop up anyway. If you're playing a sniper character, an interesting move I recommend is to give the other players a warning that something is off. A strange glint in the distance, an odd red dot moving around, or even, the sniper takes a shot, but either misses or grazes. This makes a sniper fight go from horrible one-sided to far more entertaining. Now the sniper has to be on the move to keep his target from closing in, while the other character is now aware that someone is after their head, and has to stop them without being taken out by the next shot.
If the setting allows it, nameless NP Cs may be used as simple props (if you want a psycho murderer to start a fight by murdering innocents, go ahead. If you wanna have someone drain another NPC's life to get a little energy back, go ahead, within reason of course.) Of course, if this is abused, I might have to remove this, but that's unlikely to happen.
Bosses: These are mostly gonna be GM controlled, but if a player really wants to try their hand at playing a boss-like character, gimme a ring. I'll go over these at a later time. Don't expect to see them very often.
Looting. This has never really been a concern in the Arena, so to make it quick: If a character dies, another is allowed to take their stuff, with permission from the player. A character respawns with their stuff if they haven't been played for a little bit, but if the character respawns immediately after, try playing around with them not having their toys, might be fun.
If a player has been absent for long enough that the action stalls out significantly, feel free to continue on without them and have your character do something else. Preferable wait time is a full 24 hours.
The current setting is a simple freeform city in the modern era. Settings change when a significant number of players want a new setting, and a vote is held on what setting that is. This should take a week or two, which realistically translates to months, but I won't stop action during the vote. But first, we need to talk about parallel universes.
Hello! I'm that guy from the spinoff thread that founded the Avatar Tournament! I'll be happy to join this thread and stick to it this time.
A blinding light appears in the middle of a city. As it grows larger, it begins to form into the shape of a man. The light finally fades away, leaving Ryu to ponder his surroundings.
I usually play as ocs, is there a place I should ask about them or should I just PM about it?
There's a small flash as what looks like a catgirl appears in the middle of the street.
Courage need not be remembered, for it is never forgotten.
A small girl appears. She's got dark hair with red-highlights, a red dress with a hood, and a scythe.
Iron Man lands near the rest, and flips down his visor. He also has... Captain America's shield!?
It's canon until the next movie, so I'm using the concept now even though he'll never do it in the movies.
So this is basically my OC, Party Octopus (nicknamed Party). I'll PM more about him later.
Caitlyn (the girl form earlier) is still here. When the Marine shoots at the octopus she yelps and covers her ears.
"Whoa, dude! It's just an octopus!"
Iron Man charges up his wrist laser and fires at the marine.
Party quickly dodged with his sack, leaving the truck full of dents. One of his tentacles is now leaking blue blood, though. Retaliating, he pulled out a firework shot from his sack and fired it at Doomguy.
I already PM'd Trip about this, but I might as well be posting it here for clarity's sake: Party can extend his tentacles, has good reflexes, can stay on land for up to 15 mins, and has a wide knowledge of partying, dances and karaoke songs. Party's sack is full of party supplies, like fireworks (dozens of 'em), firecrackers, a paintball gun, a paddleball and some snacks.
Iron Man catches one rocket.
"Whoa, what do think you're doing?"
Then it explodes in his face, throwing him back and to the side.
"Gya!-" Caitlyn leaps out of the way- a very long leap compared to a normal human's- and manages to get out of the rocket's path. It hits a wall behind her and explodes, singing her back with the blast. She's prone for now, but while down she reaches behind her. Her tail glows slightly, then turns into a nodachi nearly as long as she is tall.
Seeing Doomguy in the alleyway, Party fired a barrage of six fireworks towards him. One of the fireworks hit the third rocket and both explode.
In a building opposite of Doomguy's, someone watches all of this action through a rifle scope. The small red star on his ushanka shines through the window.
Mog appears in the Arena due to another miscasted Warp and not ten feet from him, a rocket whizzes by him.
"Oh, my! That was fast, kupo!"
Seeing a conveniently placed building not far from him, he runs his tiny little legs towards it.
On the rooftop of a building, a figure is seated, looking at the ongoing battle, and he attempts to perform scans on the fighters present, fingers tapping on different holographic screens.
GM of the Arena Spinoff thread and server owner of its Discord chat.
Iron Man takes off into the sky. He evades the rockets, blocking one with the shield and watching it ricochet into another building. Then, he draws even with Doomguy, and flies at him, fists extended!
"Whoa, who is that, kupo?!" A feeling of fear coming over him after witnessing the power of the flying armored man, he decides to cast a spell. "THUNDARA!" A flurry of lightning bolts shoots from his fingertips and screams towards Iron Man, though considering how close the two are, there's a chance Doomguy could be affected by the attack as well.
For Mog's scan, he can see he's equipped with a large, metallic spear, carrying a small booklet on his side with a gem embedded in the front cover radiating strange energies, hoisting a blue shield on his back, and carries a small leather bag hanging from his shoulder.
He's kind of incredulous that someone stopped his fist. Then, he pulls up the shield, but the force from blast still knocks him all the way down to the ground. He starts arguing with Jarvis.
He falls before the spell would hit him.
Iron Man's scan just says "yo, dude, cool archives! Mind if I borrow them? Uh, wait, how do I download stuff? Is my voice recording? Jarvis! Get me out of this system!" It's timestamped 2014.
If the man scans Glaz, despite not currently fighting, it would show that he is part of the special force unit 'Spetsnaz'. Besides that, he's a very well trained and strengthened normal human.
Glaz moves his scope around the battlefield, looking at various people. The red star on his ushanka flickers as he moves his head.

Challenge's reversion of the cult Japanese classic given an innuendo-filled voiceover by Craig Charles.
Eat your heart out Crash Bandicoot.
100 people attempt to storm the castle but to do so they must win the challenging, wacky and slapstick games set up by the evil Count Takeshi and the Emerald Guard. Failing means elimination but seeing as most people fail, people are let through for falling into mud stylishly.
Bite the Bun - one of the openers. Whilst wearing a restrictive rubber ring (or with their hands tied behind their back), contestants have to grab one of the hanging buns with their teeth to progress. Surprisingly low-tech hilarity.
The Gauntlet - players compete in a giant real life Super Mario-style platform computer game and try and get from right to left before the time runs out or the Guards knock them off the platforms by throwing large balls at them.
Rice Bowl Downhill - players get into a giant rice bowl. They are pushed downhill into a swimming pool. If they stay in the bowl when they hit the water they're through, if not they're out.
Bridgeball - walk across a rickety and unstable bridge whilst being pelted by 'cannonballs'. Balancing is tricky as the contestants must perform this feat whilst carrying a golden ball shot to them by General Lee.
Honeycomb Maze - Get from one side of the maze to the other, avoiding the monsters and making sure you go leave through the right door. Failure means running into thin air over a muddy stretch of water.
Skipping Stones - the blue riband event really. Make your way from one side of the pond to another using the stones provided. Hilariously, whilst most of the stones are stable, some will sink when you stand on them. The correct way to play this game is with a full run up and going A over T headfirst into another stone when you lose your balance on a sinker.
Come on Dad, catch my balls.
Aston Villa's sober years in the 1980s.
Actually - ha! - that last one makes us grin just thinking about it. But anyway, the handful of people who survive all of this get to 'do' the final showdown. They get into comedy battle cars, as do the Emerald guard and Takeshi himself (in his special brown car). Each car has a target which is either a piece of paper in a ring (in which case everyone carries water guns, the aim being not to let the paper tear) or a laser receptor (in which case everyone has a laser gun and your car goes up in a puff of smoke when you get shot). The last one standing wins and this is invariably Takeshi himself.
Don't break my teeth dad.
Overall, the series works marvellously well as a piece of xenophobic schadenfreude, because 'Ow!' equals pain in any language.
Let's all hug a mushroom because Japan.
"No winners this time on Takeshi's Castle... but maybe next time!"
"The mud is specially imported from a pig farm in Southern Japan"
"As my old Dad used to say..."
"Don't let them penetrate your ring!"
The original Japanese show ran from 1986 to 1990.
On the off chance that a contestant does win, by taking Takeshi's car out, the prize is 1,000,000 Yen which equates to roughly £7,500.
Clive James was a celebrity contestant on the show in 1987. He didn't make it past the Honeycomb Maze, sadly for him.

While everyone else is busy getting into the holiday season, which is filled with plenty of greens, golds, and reds, Nike is reworking their Air Flightposite, presenting it in a dramatically different colorway and without a key component of its usual look. Based on the original design of the Flightposite 1, the Exposed reveals the same silhouette, but minus the zip-up shroud. The design design allows the shoe to reveal a Black Posite upper accented with a touch of white and plenty of Vivid Pink splattered across, from toe to hell. Vivid Pink also takes care of the tongue, heel tab, and the carbon fiber support plate on the arch while also spilling onto the gum rubber outsole. The Nike Air Flightposite Exposed in a Vivid Pink is scheduled to hit retailers, including Crooked Tongues, in January 2014, retailing for $210.

Heavyweight boxing icon, Mike Tyson, was spotted last week at the Great Pyramids of Giza and fans went wild. While many believed the 52-year-old boxer was on a touristic trip with his wife Kiki, news soon came out that Tyson will star in El-Sobky Productions upcoming movie Hamlet Pharon (A Pharaoh's Campaign).
The movie will star Amr Saad, one of Egypt's biggest action leading actors, and Ruby. Set to take us on a rollercoaster of love/action as we follow the story of Yehia (Amr Saad) who owns the largest assassins' network in Egypt. The leading man will defy the world while trying to travel from Egypt to Syria to save his lover. Amr Saad has been posting photos of some insane workouts on social media in preparation for this role alongside Tyson.
Written by Karim Hassan Bashir, and directed by Raouf Abd El Aziz, the movie will be Mike Tyson's first ever acting role in an Egyptian movie. The heavyweight boxing champion participated in other Hollywood films includingThe Hangover (part I and II), Ip Man 3, as well as Algerian action film Gates of the Sun.
The team behind the highly-anticipated movie plans on bringing something completely different to Egypt's cinema. Youm7 just released behind-the-scenes photos taken during shooting.

L'université américaine de Beyrouth (en , abrégé  ; en ) est une université privée, indépendante, non sectaire, à Beyrouth, la capitale du Liban. Fondée en 1866 sous le nom de Syrian Protestant College par des missionnaires protestants américains (Daniel Bliss et Henry Harris Jessup), elle prend son nom actuel le .

L'université américaine de Beyrouth est une université libre de sciences qui prodigue des enseignements dans les domaines de médecine et de technologie.

Histoire
En 1862, des missionnaires américains au Liban et en Syrie, sous l'égide du conseil américain des commissaires pour les missions étrangères, demandent au docteur Daniel Bliss de se retirer de la mission d'évangélisation au Liban pour se consacrer à la fondation d'une université qui dispenserait une formation médicale avec un caractère éducatif américain, administré indépendamment de la mission. En 1862, Le docteur Bliss se rend aux États-Unis pour lever des fonds pour cette nouvelle entreprise, et atteint la somme de  au mois d'août 1864, puis au Royaume-Uni. Le , alors que le docteur Bliss lève des fonds pour la nouvelle école, l'État de New York lui accorde une charte sous le nom d'université protestante syrienne. L'université est ouverte avec une première classe de 16 étudiants le .

La première pierre du bâtiment central (University Hall), premier bâtiment sur le campus actuel de Ras Beyrouth, est posée le  par William E. Senior. À cette occasion, Daniel Bliss définit les fondements doctrinaux de l'université : « Pour tous, sans discrimination basée sur la classe sociale, couleur de peau, de nationalité, ou de religion. Tout homme, blanc, noir ou jaune, chrétien, juif, musulman ou athée, peut s'inscrire et avoir tous avantages de cet établissement pendant trois, quatre ou huit années ; et sortir en croyant en un dieu, en divers dieux, ou en aucun dieu. Mais il sera impossible qu'il continue longtemps avec nous sans savoir ce que nous pensons être la vérité et les fondements de notre croyance. »

Le bâtiment central et le premier bâtiment médical sont achevés et mis en service en 1873, la cloche de la tour du bâtiment central résonne pour la première fois en mars 1874.

Depuis les premières années, l'université s'étoffe continuellement avec de nouveaux corps d'enseignants et l'élargissement des programmes. En 1867, l'université inaugure sa faculté de médecine. Quatre ans plus tard, en 1871, la faculté de pharmacie et une école préparatoire sont créées.

En 1900, l'université fonde une école du commerce qui plus tard est incorporée à la faculté des arts et des sciences. Quand l'hôpital (actuellement l'hôpital américain de l'université) est créé en 1905, une école de soins est également fondée. En 1910, l'université ouvre une école de soins dentaires, qui fonctionne pendant trente années.

Le , l'« université protestante syrienne », émanation de l'université de l'État de New York, devient l'« Université américaine de Beyrouth » ; d'autres amendements à la charte étoffent les attributions de l'université.

Tous les présidents de l'université sont hébergés dans la résidence de la Chambre de Marquand, qui a été réalisée en 1879.

De juin 1870 à la fin de juillet 2002, le nombre de diplômes universitaires décernés s'élève à 66 107.

  : assassinat du docteur Malcolm Kerr, neuvième président de l'université et père de Steve Kerr,
 , le bâtiment de l'administration centrale de l'université est la cible d'une bombe qui le démolit, et renverse sa célèbre tour-horloge, qui, vieille de 125 ans, était le symbole de l'établissement. Il est reconstruit et inauguré à nouveau en 1999.

Le campus
Le campus de l'université américaine de Beyrouth, d'une superficie de 73 hectares, est situé sur une colline surplombant la mer Méditerranée d'un côté et bordé par la rue Bliss d'un autre. La rue Bliss possède de nombreux  restaurants et est très populaire chez les étudiants de l'université.

La faculté  de sciences agronomiques et de l'alimentation (AREC) se situe dans une ferme de 247 hectares dans la plaine de la Bekaa.

Mecenat
En 2003, le prince saoudien Al-Walid bin Talal a fait don de 5,5 millions de dollars au Center for American Studies and Research (CASAR).

En 2002, Charles Hostler, ancien diplomate américain et ancien étudiant de l'université, fait don de 11,7 millions de dollars pour fonder un département de sports moderne, qui porte désormais le nom de Charles W. Hostler. Le nouveau bâtiment de l'école de commerce, sur la partie basse du campus, qui porte le nom de Suliman S. Olayan devait être livré en janvier 2007.

Issam Fares, ancien ministre du Liban, fait un don de 5,2 millions de dollars pour ce qui deviendra l'Issam Fares Institute for Public Policy and International Affairs, construit sur le campus moyen en remplaçant l'infirmerie Gulbenkian. Le bâtiment a été conçu par une architecte renommée et ancienne élève de l'université, Zaha Hadid.

Perspectives de développement
L'université a pour projet de relancer ses programmes  en arabe, pour les  études orientales, de biologie, et de chimie pour la première fois après qu'ils ont été suspendus pendant la guerre civile libanaise (1975-1990). L'université fait référence pour les études orientales (CAMES), son département est considéré comme l'un des meilleurs au monde.

Personality and Strategic Performance
Business leadership can be just as challenging as elite athletics. In both, strategic performance relies on mindset and personality characteristics.
Recently on The Science of Personality, cohosts Ryne Sherman, PhD, chief science officer, and Blake Loepp, PR manager, spoke with Barry Roche, founder and CEO at RSG Consulting, about the role that personality plays in strategic performance.
Barry's service in the British Royal Marine Commandos taught him the value of adaptability, physical and mental resilience, and a sense of humor. It also gave him his interest in psychology. With more than two decades of experience building organizations across industries, Barry has seen how important human performance is to business success. "The big problems in businesses always come with people attached," he said.
Let's dive into some components of strategic success, performance, and the dark side of personality, and the dos and don'ts of strategic performance.
A Mindset of Strategic Success
Experiencing stressful environments, undergoing physical challenges, or enduring hardships improves confidence. Elite performers, whether in athletics, business, or other fields, have a clear mindset about challenge and failure. Having handled past adversity, elite performers are confident in the face of present adversity.
As challenging as elite individual performance is to attain, corporate strategic performance can be even harder. "Strategy is just a plan to deliver a long-term outcome," Barry said. "It needs to be really specific so you can align people behind it to achieve it."
Clarity, effective communication, and execution are all essential components of strategic success. Depending on whether an organization is a startup, small- or medium-sized enterprise (SME), or a large enterprise, strategic success will vary according to size and need. Broadly, large companies can struggle with communication and building teams, SMEs can struggle with growth and succession planning, and startups can struggle with liftoff.
The mindset of learning from failure, however, remains central regardless of size. "Failure is not failure. It's an opportunity to learn. Mistakes are only mistakes if you make them twice," Barry said. He suggests analyzing failures to search for ways to improve and successes to learn what has been effective. Referencing his training in martial arts, he added, "It's that white-belt mentality of thinking you've got something to learn no matter what level you're at." The elite performer, the person who attains strategic performance, is driven by a hunger for improvement. This type of high performer is constantly refining the strategy. Comparing an amateur's eight-minute abs program to an Olympian's detailed two-year training plan shows the necessary difference in mindset.
Performance and the Dark Side of Personality
Barry uses Hogan personality assessments in his business practice, calling them the bedrock of his recruitment and team programs. Hogan's tools are reliable, valid, and simple to understand while being nuanced. To become high-performing leaders, individuals must understand their bright side (strengths), dark side (potentially overused strengths), and inside characteristics (values).
"The dark side is where the rubber hits the road for me," Barry said, adding that adversity brings out a person's true character. When he designs strategies, he focuses on how to recover from hardships and challenges. Self-awareness can help a person respond well during tough times. With it, elite performers can modify their behavior to benefit themselves and their teams.
Often our strengths can get us into trouble by derailing our behavior, sometimes to the point of career failure. The dark side, which is assessed by the Hogan Development Survey (HDS), measures strengths that might go into overdrive during times of stress or adversity. On an individual level, identifying these potential derailers is the first step to strategic self-awareness. On a team level, considering everyone's scores can predict what they will find challenging and prepare them for enduring difficulties. Team reporting can also reveal team members who have useful skills outside their initial job scope or who have combinations of personality characteristics that might facilitate solving specific problems.
The strategic success of a high-performing team relies on the shared understanding of one another's personality characteristics. Barry said that a high degree of respect was a necessary part of the culture of an elite team: "Emotional safety and inclusiveness are a participant in every high-performing team that I've looked at. Creating that is not easy because the trust has to be built."
The Dos and Don'ts of Strategic Performance
To paraphrase Charles Darwin, the species that survives is not the most intelligent but the most adaptable. Strategic performance relies on knowing what to do, what not to do, and when to act.
Don't ignore your people. Most businesses invest a lot of time into financial strategy, but they don't direct equal care and attention toward developing the people who will execute that strategy. Failing to factor in the human component of strategy is a harmful omission. "That goes back to creating high-performance individuals who can then participate in a high-performance team that will then deliver the strategy," Barry said.
Don't rely on luck instead of a sound business model. Throwing talent and money at a problem and hoping for the best leads straight to downsizing and bankruptcy. "The new survival is purpose and meaning," he said. In a reliable business model, clarification means refining what your people understand about the plan. Prioritization means creating time for them to work on what matters. Execution means setting milestones so they can track their progress.
Focus on teams. "Leaders now need to focus on developing high-performing teams. No leader is inherently good enough to do it by himself, and no team is inherently good enough to do it without creating that high-performance culture and being led appropriately," Barry said. The strategy is simple but hard: define, prioritize, execute, and refine.
Know your purpose—and prepare for it. Barry compared elite-performing organizations to martial artists who train constantly and rigorously with a clarity of focus. "The people who invest in a clear understanding of the people they've got who execute plans will be the ones that enjoy strategic success in the future," he said.

MOTHERS AND OTHER STRANGERS a suspenseful study of a fraught mother-daughter relationship
Mothers and Other Strangers
By Gina Sorell
Prospect Park Books: May 2, 2017
$16, 314 pages
It's not unusual for adult children to become estranged from their parents. Sometimes it's a psychological and emotional necessity, other times it's simply the result of unfortunate events or misunderstandings. As the old saying goes, we don't get to choose our family, and there's no guarantee we will like each other, particularly as time goes on and we build separate lives.
Gina Sorell's debut novel, Mothers and Other Strangers, explores this fraught territory with compelling results. It is a complex family drama, a dual (and dueling) character study, and a suspenseful mystery all in 300 pages.
Elsie is 39 and an ex-dancer living in Los Angeles when she learns that her mother, Rachel, has passed away at home in Toronto. More than just physical distance separates them; they have not spoken in two decades. Rachel, it turns out, is what we used to call "a real piece of work." She is a mean-spirited narcissist concerned with how she appears to others and following her own spiritual muse around the world. She is not interested in being a mother, even though her husband passed away when Elsie was an infant. So, Elsie grows up seeking her mother's attention and approval, but receiving little of either, and ultimately doing her best to raise herself.
When Elsie returns to Toronto to sort through her mother's belongings and tie up the loose ends of her life, she finds that little has changed in her apartment in a luxury highrise building, and that her mother did not appear to be the wealthy woman her lifestyle had always suggested she was. What happened in the last 20 years? Did it involve her devoted membership in The Seekers, a "new-agey" spiritual group based in Paris, and her obsession with their charismatic founder, Philippe? When someone breaks into the apartment and turns it upside down looking for something – although it's clear to Elsie there is nothing of value in the apartment of this elderly woman – she begins to suspect that her mother had led a different life than she'd thought.
Elsie's return to Toronto forces her to examine a past she'd long quarantined, and the structure of Mothers and Other Strangers moves back and forth in time to reveal Elsie's life, increasing the mystery and tension as the plot progresses. How did a child born in South Africa end up being raised in Canada? What really happened to her father? Why does she have nightmares involving a house fire and a black caretaker? Why did her mother view the Seekers as her family instead of Elsie? Why couldn't her mother love her?
As Elsie peels back the layers of her mother's life, she confronts her own traumas and the resulting demons that continue to follow her. Little is as it seemed to either the younger Elsie or the divorced adult Elsie. Mothers and Other Strangers could have been written as a straight suspense novel or as a close study of an exceptionally difficult mother-daughter relationship. Instead, Sorrel has combined the two to generally good effect, although it occasionally makes for odd pacing. For example, just as the enigma of Rachel's life becomes particularly intriguing, we are taken back to Elsie's teenage years as a gifted dancer who steadily establishes her independence from a mother who is absent physically and emotionally. Both aspects of the story are compelling, but one makes you turn the pages faster, and readers can become greedy about a complex, thought-provoking plot. Wait! What happens next?! Why? How? No!
Suffice to say (no spoilers here!), Elsie moves back through her mother's life, to Paris and on to South Africa, to discover her many secrets, including the one that had proven the most impervious of all: Why was Rachel the person — and mother — she was? By the end, she has changed from a mystifying and heartbreaking stranger into a flawed young woman fleeing her own tragedies and attempting to build a life for her daughter and herself. Elsie learns, as do we all, that who we are is a direct result of our parents' character and choices, and that they are, like us, deeply imperfect people.

Hack The Text-Based Gibson in Code 7
Serena Nelson
I grew up on text adventures. One of the first games I remember playing is Zork, and from that point on I fell in love with the genre. I'm also a big fan of hacker games. Code 7 manages to merge both together into what looks like an interesting take on this gaming niche.
Reading through the Kickstarter pitch for Code 7, I found myself wanting to know more. Outside of revealing that the player takes on the role of a hacker on some strange space station working against a rogue A.I., there's not much revealed story-wise. That's where the provided "episode 0" comes into play. This prequel of sorts is available for all to play, and hopefully fills in some blanks.
Putting together a text adventure isn't particularly resource intensive. I threw together a rather crude submission for a game jam last year, after all. The majority of the funds for Code 7 are going towards voice acting. This can get rather expensive from what I've been told, so the Kickstarter makes sense in that regard.
I haven't made the decision to back Code 7, but what's there has piqued my interested to at least star it for later. I love the premise, and will be playing through the hour-long episode when I get the chance. It's rare to see a text adventure release at all today, but it's even rarer to see one on Kickstarter. Either way, I do hope they make the somewhat modest goal and then some.

I love most recipes on The Nosher. So when I want to try one I am never worried about being disappointed. I wasn't this time either. A few weeks ago they posted a recipe for Sweet and Sour meatballs served with spaghetti squash. I did the same. I must admit that I like spaghetti better than spaghetti squash but that's what Murray and I had for dinner.
The squash cooked in the oven while I was preparing the meatballs so it all came together within about 1 1/2 hours.The directions for cooking the squash is with the recipe on The Nosher. I didn't change the recipe from the one posted so I would just say to go for it!
