G is for Gasp

We all have 'em. Those words or phrases we use over and over again in our writing. "Gasp" seems to be a big one for me. Why do my characters always find themselves out of oxygen, gasping for air, intaking a sharp breath? Are their lives just that exciting and dangerous they forget how to breathe all the time?

And why do my characters always fall asleep? Like, half my chapters either end with someone falling asleep in a strange place or start with someone waking up. It's like my fast forward through time-anator.

Other favorite overused words for me: that, have, look, so, just, well, really. And don't even get me started on the smiling. My characters smile, a lot, like every three lines. And I have this impulse to mention it, like every three lines.

This site has been helpful for me to come up with creative ways to express things I fall into a repetitive rut about. Scroll down and check out the lists on the right side of the blog.

As far as specific words go, though, I just learn what they are and do a "find" through the document or pray that my CP's catch them.

How about you? What are some of your overused words or phrases?

Shirley Wells said...

Haha. My characters don't gasp but they smile a lot and they nod all the time. Perhaps they should gasp instead of nod. Hmm. :)

Just, really and seem are my favourite overused words.

jaybird said...

Glad it's not just me! I recently went through my WIP and redacted about 100 "really's" and "totallys"
too many!

I'd like to blame it on my living in the CA Valley back in the 80's, but that's "like really" not a good enough excuse, is it? LOL

Sara Hill said...

Yeah, gasping gets me too. Also, "just." But hey, my internal editor needs this stuff to stay busy and out of the way!

Sara Hill said...

Also, thanks for the great link!

Tobi Summers said...

I overuse "just" a lot. And my characters tend to shrug, glare, glower and laugh/giggle a lot. Probably more than is necessary.

ilima said...

Shirley-Ooh. My characters nod a lot too.

Jaybird-I have so many really's!

Sara-I use that link constantly when I'm's SO helpful.

Tobi-Glare. Yes, my characters like to glare a lot too.

Giora said...

Thansk for the link of Emotion Thesaurus. Gasp is a neat word and I used it once. I used Falling Asleep a fw times to end the chapter. It's just natural to end the story of the chapter like this, and then start the next chapter with Waking Up. I have a few Smiling, but not as often as you do. If you add a word to it like .. she smiles shyly .. she smiles lightly .. she smiles sweetly to let him capture her lips ..:) then it's not repetitive.
Reading Tobi's comment I noticed that many authors use shrug and frown many times. Glare and gaze are also common, and I made mistakes not using them correctly.

Willing 'Ohana said...

I just read your fairytale adaptation. Did you write more? I really enjoyed that. I thought maybe Snow White in the beginning but when the character introduced herself as Aurora, I knew it was Sleeping Beauty. Are we going to be able to read more of your writing? Like another novel? :) Honestly that was awesome Ilima.

Jaycee DeLorenzo said...

Mine shake their head so much I think they're about to get whiplash. Thanks for the link!

Giora said...

Does anyone know, where is the H today? Hmmm..

Maybe H for Holiday from posting.

ilima said...

Giora-I've started using frown more, but haven't used shrug much. I hope you find the thesaurus useful.

Miki-I'll have my current novel ready for you guys to read soon and I think you'll like it.

Jaycee-Haha. Mine nod.

Giora-For the A to Z challenge through the rest of April, Sunday's are off. Haha...H for Holiday. :)

I Love My Librarian Winner Timothy Ryan: A beacon of hope

By on

by Steve Zalusky

The Sully Branch Library serves a poverty-ridden area in Rochester, New York. It is reflected in the high crime rate and one of the lowest high school graduation rates in the nation. Lurking about the library is persistent gang activity.

Amidst all these discouraging signs, however, is one figure who provides hope and is an agent of change – young adult librarian Timothy Ryan, one of the winners of the 2017 I Love My Librarian Award.

Ryan’s nominator for the award, Trina Thompson, said, “By offering state of the art technology programs that incorporate 3D printers, video games, coding and game design software, and virtual reality, Mr. Ryan is keeping our teens engaged and off the streets, off of drugs, and out of the gangs.”

But Ryan’s efforts reach beyond virtual reality and offer the youth a firm foundation for a richer reality in the future. He offers to assist them with homework, TASC, SAT, ACT preparation, resume workshops, job fairs, food stamps, medical insurance and even legal questions about custody and divorce.

Ryan succeeds in providing an inclusive environment, Thompson said.

“But most importantly,” she said, “he treats everyone as a human being that deserves respect and compassion. He understands the needs of our community and the people who reside within it. He doesn't look down upon anyone whether they are homeless, an immigrant, or what have you. He doesn't turn anyone away who needs assistance whether you are affiliated with a gang, foreign, African-American, etc. Mr. Ryan makes the library a positive place in a community filled with so many negative aspects and influences.”

Thompson’s own experience with Ryan is illustrative. She said she came to him an “abused, homeless, hungry, uneducated, scared, single mother of three young girls.”

She said Ryan found her crying as she was sitting with her children in the library. He asked her what was wrong and offered help.

“It was not easy trusting people given what I had just endured, but something about the way Mr. Ryan approached and spoke to me let me know that he truly cared for the well-being of me and my children,” she said.

Ryan retrieved some food and water from the back of the library and gave it to Thompson and her children. He then led them to the children's section of the library and suggested she leave her daughters with a literacy aide so he could further assist her.

Her helped her with finding shelter and getting food and medical services through the Department of Human Services. Over the next two years Ryan further assisted her, as she gained computer and information literacy skills, found her own apartment and established credit.

He worked with her on crafting her resume and obtaining employment, helping her to enroll in the nursing program at Monroe Community College.

Today, she said, with his assistance, she is a “confident, proud, strong, African-American female and mother.” She is finishing her associates’ degree in nursing and is actively involved in the community.

In an interview conducted upon his receipt of the award, Ryan said winning it means a lot. “This shows that I do have value. It helps me out personally a lot. It gives me a lot of confidence.”

He said his career trajectory has been different than expected.  “Originally I was going to work in museums. I did work in museums quite a bit. That was my original background. And I was going to go for my master’s in history,” he said.

But he called his brother, who has a master’s in history and is married to a librarian, and was told museums and libraries were the same thing, while libraries would provide greater employment opportunities.

Ryan thought a library would be a great place to work and followed his current career path.  He said urban librarians are completely different than suburban librarians.

“The needs are completely different,” he said. “People have just basic needs finding housing. They’re homeless. They need food. They don’t know how to get to these resources. So, I think the impact that we are able to provide, especially for the city of Rochester, where our branch is located – it’s the poorest area of town, it’s one of the highest crime-ridden areas of town – so again, we provide a safe place for the teens to gather. We’re also attached to a rec center, so we have a constant flow of traffic. It’s also attached to a school. So there are kids in there all day long once school gets out. It provides a safe place and again we’re able to help people with the things they need in the community.”

He said libraries are important in today’s society, but offered words of caution to library practitioners.

“I think a lot of librarians need to kind of look at themselves, too, because I think a lot of librarians self-censor the materials they are bringing in. They’ll ask questions (about) whether or not it is appropriate. To me, a library should function and have all information and provide access to everybody. We’re not here to restrict it in any way. I kind of see that going on, whether it’s in politics or whatever facet of society. There are all these restrictions going on. I think the library is like the last beacon of access to this information for everybody.”

Whistle Blowing Cases

One of the major whistle blowing cases ever to happen in American history, occurred in 2002, when Glenn Walp and Steve Doran blew the whistle on the corruption, cover-ups, mismanagement and security failures at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. This resulted in lab leadership attempting to discredit these whistle blowers, by spewing outrageous lies against Glenn and Steve. But justice prevailed when the media, the public and congress caught lab leaders in their egregious acts of lies, deceit and deception. Fortunately for all Americans, these whistle blowing cases uncovered the dark underbelly of the lab, exposing for all to see, its corruption, cover-ups and crime, all which had a negative effect on the security of America. For initiating these whistle blowing cases, Glenn and Steve paid a great price at the hands of certain lab leadership. They were fired because - according to lab leadership - they didn’t fit into the lab’s corporate philosophy that valued cover-up, over truth and honesty.

But Walp shot back, authoring a book in 2010, about his experiences at Los Alamos, to include what these cases do to the whistle blower when they are hunted, hated and hounded. The book is titled, Implosion at Los Alamos: How Crime, Corruption and Cover-ups Jeopardizes America’s Nuclear Weapons Secrets. The book is a cautionary tale of how corruption had taken over certain lab leaders who were bent on keeping their lucrative jobs, even if their corruptive acts placed America in jeopardy of potential terrorist attacks.

What does a person have to endure for initiating whistle blowing cases, Steve and Glenn were asked? Both responding, you must be able to endure the hardships, pains, and rejection, that is, regrettably, inherit in these cases. We endured the pangs for America said Walp – and we would initiate more again, if that is what we had to do to protect the America we love.

Why are you sucha goddamn FLAC nazi? Allow folks the option of how they wanna choose to download music. Like Ricardo. And most other blogs. Most of this stuff you post was recorded and/or pressed in less-than-optimum conditions... WTF?

onxidlib said...

What a word - Nazi.
Do you even know what this is really about... I do not think so - under the Nazis there would be no such music as here on IS - provided for free...

You have the possibility of coverting flac or whatever into mp3 by yourself !?

I am not your servant!

All in all thank you for your deliberate comment...

BTW - this boot is not from the LP "Born Free" but a broadcast which sounds better than a rip from the LP could ever be....at least I hear a difference.

kinabalu said...

Too true, onx.

Under the nazis there was a word for it - entartete Kunst - or degenerate art - in English.

By the way, nazi is definitely one of the most overused words there are. But even a minimal sense of history would help.

JC said...

I thank you greatly for the flacs and never cease to be amazed at the sense of entitlement and general ignorance that gets memorialized on the internet, not to mention those who seek mp3's. Even on a lousy recording you can hear what an mp3 encoding does to the sound vs. a flac (if one had ears that still work). Yes some don't have bandwidth, but if it is important enough one can find ways. I don't download any mp3's. That's a real waste.

The ignorance of history is a much broader cultural phenomenon (that one might think the internet would reduce, rather than increase, but so it is).

As others here note never take for granted (on any number of levels) that this music is shared.

So thanks again for your generosity in providing a lot of what is here.

At the risk of being deemed a 'comments nazi'*, I'm afraid this new link duplicates the Albert Mangelsdorff 4tet broadcast set - (I've forgotten what the station was in Frankfurt before the reorganisation into WDR).

*(images of has-beens on some recent nostalgia tv compilation programme, saying "you were nobody back in 2011 if you weren't accusing people of being some type of nazi on-line)

I wish I could have picked up (WDR) on my tranny under the blankets back in 1970

Hi tinpu lef. I won't re-up this as it was re-issued some weeks ago along with many more hours from the 1970 edition of the Frankfurter Jazz Festival.

It's somewhat pricey but it's a great collection...

How Master Software Developers Achieve More in Less Time – Secrets Revealed

The best way to survive in today’s competitive market is to cut down superfluous work and concentrate all workforces on what is needed. Many a times clients fail to communicate their precise needs and this results in wastage of valuable time and resources. In this dog eat dog world people do not have time to go back and correct their booboos. This is the norm for the software developers who literally live in their workstations to meet client deadlines.

A very recent study shows that a 20 percent growth in global productivity levels of software developers could lead to an expansion worth 90 billion dollars in the 21st century. So today we are here together with Softarex to help you master the art of software development and maximum utilization of your potential to become a master programmer.

1. Let’s get started by measuring your productivity levels

What are the 5 tips of a productive developer?

Very simply speaking, you cannot improve what you cannot quantify. Just like any other measure of efficiency or productivity, the two fundamental parameters of productivity for software developers are comprised of input and output.

The easiest process used by master developers to measure productivity is by the application of a very simple formula,

Productivity = Total Software Program Output/ Total Software Program Input

Usually, inflation, singular values for both input and output and market dependent revenue generate problems in accurate calculation of current productivity levels. The most common input measures are money and person-hours. The most commonly used output parameters used in the productivity equation include Source Line of Code or SLOC and Function Point Analysis.

2. Get ready to understand where you may be wasting your resources

6 Visual Studio Tips to Increase Your Productivity

  • Overproduction: this is a fairly simple point. Overproduction refers to the unnecessary creation of multiple elements due to lack of communication between clients and developers.

  • Over-processing: do away with the extra rounds of redundant testing. These steps might seem light-weight, but trust our expert opinion; these redundant tests take up a lot of your time.

  • Too much information: most software developers are overworked and tired more than we would like to admit. As a result they spend a lot of unnecessary time gathering redundant data. This wastes a lot of resources in addition to time and yields fewer positive results.

  • Unexpected delays: waiting for sign-offs and responses cause a lot of delays. Multiple times derivatives from previous steps get carried over due to lack of proper communication between customer and developer. As a matter of fact, seemingly trivial issues like slow typing speed and less than sufficient hardware configurations often lead to unwarranted delays in the software development procedure.

  • Transfer of information: transfer or transport of the project may take up a longer than usual time due to lack of efficient connection and hardware configuration. This incurs delays which are unaccountable and also compromises the quality of the work. Lags in the transportation process causes less than optimum productivity.

  • Errors: failure may be the pillar of success, but that is not at all true in the field of software development. Rework takes a heavy toll on the project quality and the pace of production. This creates trouble in integration of the data from different teams and causes reassignment of maximum available sources in fixing bugs rather than creating new programs. To minimize time spent in this area, invest in some bug tracking software that will identify all potential problems so they may be resolved as quickly as possible.

3. Steer your productivity in a positive direction

24 Quick Tips to Boost Your Career as a Software Engineer, This Year

The next step is to understand what drives your productivity in a positive direction. This list will help you enlist your qualities as a software developer and will also help you to focus on specific areas which need to be worked on.

  • Optimization: this is one of the simplest process but also one of the most extensive. Optimization essentially means the analysis of all activities and categorizing them as absolutely necessary and superfluous for your immediate project. This process will definitely help you remove all sorts of non-value added tasks.

  • Create an positive environment: environment is a very important factor when it comes to optimum productivity. So before starting on a new project you need to recheck the work infrastructure and ambiance. This will further decrease the chances of moving the infrastructure while the development is on.

  • Shortlist your requirements: when you start out as a software developer you may have difficulty in understanding exactly what is being asked for. This is especially true in case of clients who do not regularly communicate with the software developers. So before starting out on your next new project makes sure you have all your customer’s requirements jotted down and verified. This will leave minimum room for assumptions and reconstructions.

  • Automate: this is the new mantra of all software developers. Automate everything under the sun. From your daily quota of work to your carb intake you need to automate everything in detail. This saves a lot of time in archiving and also gives you instant access to all information related to your projects, their progress, deadlines and delivery schedule.

  • Reusability: this is one quality of programs that saves a lot of precious resources. When you become a seasoned programmer you gradually understand the inclination of the market demand. A few software programs recur throughout the market with very few variations. You can actually use the same program for multiple clients (just like templates) with a few modifications to add unique elements to the end product.

  • Knowledge database: this is something every company should have irrespective of the size of their employee strength and client’s list. This knowledge database should be accessible to all employees, should have an easy to understand indexing system and it should not archive any non-usable or unnecessary information.

4. It’s time to move forward

Must-See Tech Talks for Every Programmer

Once you have eliminated all the tasks which squander your resources and strengthened all the qualities which potentiate the programming procedure it is definitely time to move forward to the actual creative process. All companies and their employees must understand the value of logic and reasoning in their decision making procedures. This will help in elimination of wasteful activities.

For RxResults, Innovate Arkansas' Network Is Key For Strategic Growth

by Erica Swallow February 19, 2016 Acceleration, Clients, Talent

From the time RxResults and Innovate Arkansas started working together in 2009, when the company was in its early founding days, to today when the bond is still strong, RxResults President and CEO Tery Baskin says the Innovate Arkansas network has been the biggest benefit.

"Innovate Arkansas is really good at creating networking opportunities for us," says Baskin. "Every time you sit down and talk with somebody about what they do and what you do, you get comments from them and learn new things about crucial areas, such as the financial sector or a specific operating function. They even hosted a series of CEO Forum meetings, which I took part in."

RxResults Principal and National Sales Director Chris Monroe agrees: "Innovate Arkansas' ability to put people with people in the appropriate environment, with the appropriate win-win needs, has been outstanding," he says. "Whether that's positioning us to speak at an investor conference or CEO roundtable in Tery's case, they have done an outstanding job of connecting us with relationships. This includes to capital sources, to exposure through speaking engagements -- that connectivity has been a big part of the relationship."

University Beginnings

RxResults, an evidence-based pharmacy risk management company, was founded in 2009 as a commercialization of the University of Arkansas for Medical Science's Evidence-Based Medicine Center (EBRx), which was created in 2004 to provide clinical strategies within the Pharmacy Benefit Programs for Arkansas Medicaid, Arkansas State employees, and Arkansas public school employees. "Those three entities were frustrated with the rising cost of prescription drugs and felt as if their Pharmacy Benefit Manager lacked clinical innovation," says Monroe. EBRx was created to provide recommendations within the plans of those three groups.

"Over the next four years, those groups experienced a dramatic reduction in prescription drug costs, based on the inclusion of EBRx and some unique clinical strategies they brought to the table," says Monroe. "Based on that success, UAMS had a vision to create a private-sector entity to offer this model to other employers in the marketplace, to take advantage of similar savings that the state of Arkansas had experienced."

And so, RxResults was founded, at the leadership of pharmacist Tery Baskin, alongside business development vet Chris Monroe, and operations lead Alan Gardner. The venture spun out of UAMS BioVentures, the university's life sciences business incubator and technology licensing office.

A Constant Sounding Board

Innovate Arkansas came into RxResult's picture early on in its founding. "As a BioVentures company, we were giving presentations at investor's conferences and to the BioVentures board, many meetings of which the Innovate Arkansas team was in or around," says Baskin. "We got acquainted with them, and it's worked out well for us."

"They started providing us with consulting in the pre-revenue stage," says Monroe. "They assisted us with our PowerPoint before we ever went out for some of those early pitches." The advice came in the form of market research suggestions, capital resource introductions, competitive positioning, and contextual communications.

Baskin says beyond connecting his team to an active and helpful network, Innovate Arkansas provides RxResults with a constant sounding board for ideas and strategies:

"Tom Dalton, Mike Smith, and Ted Dickey have a wide variety of experiences themselves, and they don't ever take the stance of telling you what you should do, but they're really good about telling you things you may want to consider. They do that in a very supportive way; not a critical way. It's nice to have a place to go talk to people who it's not their first rodeo."

Monroe explains that a tangible example of the Innovate Arkansas network, on top of its advisors' sound suggestions, came in a recent lunch with advisors Mike Smith and Ted Dickey. "They explained that Innovate Arkansas has a whole host of companies in its network that provide services that could be of value to us," says Monroe. "We're in growth mode and expanding our salesforce, adding a couple of sales people. They put us in touch with TheBench, an Innovate Arkansas partner focused on tech talent recruiting, which we're now in talks with to potentially help us source some candidates for our open sales positions."

The RxResults team sees its relationship with Innovate Arkansas as one that will continue to flourish around the sharing of mutually beneficial relationships. "If Innovate Arkansas has a company that's in startup mode, and they can provide a resource to us, while we can provide a proof-of-concept for their value proposition, because we were able to use their service successfully, those links build bridges in Arkansas' entrepreneurship ecosystem," says Monroe.

Taste Testing Tuesdays

Hi there everyone!
Deja vue or what?
I'm back once again, final time for the day though with a little post that you can't help but love because it gives you a sound bite for better or worse from the land of "books-I'm-currently-reading".  You know it better as Teaser Tuesday.  Here on my site, I like to refer to it a little more deliciously.

Welcome to another installment of Taste Testing Tuesdays here at Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers!  Taste Testing Tuesdays was inspired by 'Teaser Tuesdays', a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading
On the menu this week...a book I just started late late LATE last night and so I've only sampled it, but I've high hopes because so far it has my attention.
Ready for a taste?

Yes, long ago in his academy years Issac had known a man with the last name of Sinister, and unlike most people with unusual or characterizing last names, names such as David Ferry or Susan Whore, Sinister described this young academy good-for-nothing perfectly.
-- pg 58, The Gift of Illusion by Richard Brown

Whoa.  Now there's a random page/sentence to turn to.  Curious about this Sinister person...but I think I'll keep my distance too.  --backs away from book...slowly...--  The opening sequence has my attention so I'm definitely curious where it's going to lead.

Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
*Open to a random page
*Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
Make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
*Share the title & author, too, so that other participants can add the book to their TBR.*

Until next time....happy reading!

Juju at Tales of said...

What an interesting pick. :)

The1stdaughter said... about a teaser! Definitely intriguing and absolutely a guy you'd want to stay away from if his description can be believed. ;o)

Alexis @ Reflections of a Bookaholic said...

Awesome! I love it. Great teaser.

Take a look at my TT if you get a chance :)

5 Reasons why millennials love MOOCs

March 17, 2015 – by Jennis Jongerius &samhoud media

There is a new hype in online education. Worldwide there are millions of young adults who are following online courses on popular platforms such as Coursera, Udacity and EdX. You may think: “Is it only millennials who follow these courses?”

No. Research has shown that the median age of MOOC participants is 24 years old, but this is not at surprise, because there are some visible advantages that makes MOOCs attractive to this target group. Other surveys results showed that 94 percent of the millennials is ‘somewhat to extremely likely’ to register for a MOOC within the next twelve months.

It seems generation Y is swapping the traditional lecture hall for the virtual classroom, and why wouldn’t they? There are plenty of reasons for millennials why they love MOOCs. Here are 5!

1. MOOCs are free
In the past it was really expensive to take a course from, for example, a world-renowned professor of Oxford. Nowadays students can watch the same lecture without spending a dime. That means that there is more money left to spend on student leisure (beer and fast-food).

An interesting business model for organizations that offer MOOCs, is that students sometimes will be able to purchase a degree after finishing the course.

2. Freedom
Millennials want everything on demand. The freedom provided by MOOCs allows participants to test out as many courses as they like. They are able to learn at their own pace, in their own time and at random places. For instance while lying in bed (don’t we all want that).

3. To impress future employers
Employers are starting to take MOOCs very seriously on job interviews. Although you MOOCs do not qualify as degrees, when applying for a job, a MOOC on your CV shows that you are eager to learn. Besides that, you can differentiate yourself with the specific and quirky courses you have followed.

4. Who would not want to follow the footsteps of Bill Gates?
Bill Gates, one of the most famous (and rich) university dropouts in history makes no secret of the fact that he’s participates in online learning. Recently he followed a MOOC in Oceanography.

5. You can study anything
Think of anything you would like learn more about and there is probably a relevant free online course. Some MOOCs are for beginners and others are more complex and you have them in all different disciplines. At IntoConnection we’ve highlighted the quirkiest MOOCs you can follow. My personal favorite: a course on the zombie series The Walking Dead.

Some organizations claim that they offered the first Massive Open Online Course as early as 2006. Others insist that they were pioneers two years later in 2008. However, it is widely agreed on that Stanford University was the first organization that developed a MOOC back in 2011. They taught their artificial intelligence course to 160.000 online registrants. The rumors on who was the first set aside, it is a hard, cold fact that millennials are going MOOC-crazy nowadays.

Alvin Kamara, Marshon Lattimore aim for more honors

Marshon Lattimore and Alvin Kamara became the first teammates since 1967 to win Defensive and Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. Now the duo is looking to up the ante.

"We talk about it all the time, we're just trying to be the best," Lattimore said Monday, via Joel Erickson of The Advocate. "We won rookie of the year, now we're trying to win Defensive Player of the Year, Offensive Player of the Year."

Speaking during Kamara's Rookie of the Year youth camp in New Orleans, both Lattimore and Kamara said they think a full offseason allowed them to rest and fine-tune their craft heading into their sophomore season.

"When you're training for the combine, you're really training for the 40," Lattimore said. "Now, I can focus on my game and my technique. I'm trying to be better than I was last year."

"That process, the draft-combine-pro day, it's a tiring process," Kamara added. "It's hard, coming from college, transitioning from being an amateur to a pro. It's hard, there's some growing pains. I was learning as I go, but now I have some experience, I know how to manage my time."

Kamara flashed superstar ability with his dual-threat acumen as a rookie, leading all running backs with a 6.1 yard per carry average, 1,554 total scrimmage yards and 14 total touchdowns (8 rushing, 5 receptions, 1 return). With Mark Ingram's suspension to start the season, the Saints could rely on Kamara even more out of the gate.

Meanwhile, Lattimore stepped right in as a lock-down corner, an amazing accomplishment at a position where rookies generally struggle. The corner led all rookies in interceptions (5) and passes defended (18) during the regular season.

It's notoriously difficult for defensive backs to garner the attention necessary to earn Defensive Player of the Year, which generally goes to sack-masters. Troy Polamalu in 2010 was the last DB to win the award, with Charles Woodson in 2009 the most recent corner.

Lattimore said he's just trying to keep up with Kamara's accolades.

"Alvin's the superstar," Lattimore said. "They love the offense. ... nobody cares about defense. ... I'm trying to get on AK's level."

It's become an expectation for NFL players to make a leap in Year 2. After such outstanding rookie seasons, how much higher can the Saints dynamic duo jump?

Lifehouse is an American rock band from Los Angeles comprising Jason Wade (lead vocals, guitar), Bryce Soderberg (bass, vocals) and Rick Woolstenhulme, Jr. (drums, percussion). The band came to mainstream prominence in 2001 with the hit single "Hanging by a Moment" from their debut studio album, No Name Face. The song was number one for three weeks on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, and the single won a Billboard Music Award for Hot 100 Single of the Year, having spent twenty weeks in the top 10 and more than a year on the charts.

In 2002, Lifehouse released their follow-up album Stanley Climbfall. Since then, they have released five more albums: the eponymous Lifehouse in 2005, Who We Are in 2007, Smoke and Mirrors in 2010, Almería in 2012 and Out of the Wasteland in 2015. These albums have spawned the singles "You and Me", "First Time", and "Whatever It Takes", which have all been top 40 hits in the US.

To date, Lifehouse has sold over 15 million records worldwide.

Despite popular belief, Jason Wade has stated that Lifehouse is not a 'Christian band', and although some songs have spiritual influence, their lyrics are open to self-interpretation.

The Outcasts

by Cole Parker

When Will left the Headmaster's house that night and began the short trek back to his house, he realized with a start that his thoughts weren't the jumble they usually were. He had started letting his thoughts flit around when he found himself constantly going over and over in his head his mum's scornful, belittling words. After a while, to prevent the pain these thoughts caused, he had taught himself to immediately start thinking of something, anything, else. He'd become so adept at this that it had become a habit with him, and he did it all the time. Now, walking through the warm evening, seeing other boys in the distance walking in pairs or groups to their houses, he was startled to realize his mind wasn't wandering at all, but staying focused on what he was intending to think about.

He also noticed that some of the residual pain he always carried with him was no longer so sharp. It was still there, he could detect it, but it didn't seem so frightening, so unmanageable. It didn't seem to be lying in wait for an unguarded moment in which to rear up and bite him.

The Headmaster had told him he'd feel better when he left his house. He thought about that, and knew it was true. There was a lightness in his soul that hadn't been there previously. He didn't feel like the world would collapse on him as he'd been feeling for so long.

He allowed his thoughts to do what he had previously avoided with all his strength. He allowed them to touch on his mother. He could easily picture her sitting at the kitchen table, her face red, her eyes and mouth both filled with hatred. This thought had always brought him to his knees, figuratively. Now, it hurt, but he found he could look at it, even analyze it. He instinctively knew, without knowing how, that if he continued to allow his mind to go there, the more it happened, the less raw the moment would feel. And that in itself was a healing feeling.

He then thought about Liam. Lately, he'd spent a lot of time thinking about Liam. He thought about what the Headmaster had said, that Liam cared deeply about him. Then he thought about what he knew about Liam, how decent and honest and caring and sensitive he was, and realized what a good person he was. And the question crept into his head that if such a boy could care so much about him, could he really be as worthless as he had felt he was?

He walked on, approaching his house. He passed a younger boy, one who he knew was in his house but in the form below his. He wasn't absolutely certain of the boy's name. Will hadn't in the past taken much trouble to learn who the other boys were. But he recognized him as someone he possibly should know.

The boy was sitting on a bench along the path. This was odd. It was almost time for evening prayers. A young boy shouldn't be out here alone. Formerly, it is possible Will would not have noticed him. Now, he did, and stopped, then walked back and stood a few paces away. The boy looked up, and then down again on seeing Will watching him. Will caught a brief look of pain in his eyes.

Will walked to the bench and sat down. The boy looked up at him again, and this time Will smiled at him and said hello to him and told him he looked like he needed a friend right now.

"It's all right. I'll manage."

"I always thought that, too. But it helps if you have someone to talk to. What's the matter?"

The boy looked confused for a moment, and said, "I don't even know you!"

"I'm Will. Now you know me. And I'd like to help if you'd let me. Someone just helped me. I'd like to help you. But you have to let me. Will you?"

The boy sighed. "I don't think you can. I just got a letter from Mum. She and Dad are talking about a divorce. And I'm all the way out here."

Will moved to put his arm around the younger boy, who shrugged it off. Will wasn't deterred. "My parents aren't together either. I know how hard that is. Look, let's get back to the house. You'll be counted as missing any moment now, and that's demerits. Let's go back, and then let's meet at the library tomorrow directly after tea. I'll talk to you then. You can tell me what you're feeling, and maybe talking can make you feel better. It helps to have someone to talk to."

Just then a bell could be heard in the distance. "Come on," Will said, pulling the boy up and starting to move toward the house while still speaking, "we're both going to be late. You're in my house, aren't you? I'll speak to Mr. Fitzsimmons for you. I think I can clear you. I'll tell him we were talking about a personal matter that was weighing on you, that you needed some space from the other boys. He'll understand. Come on though. It'll help if we're only a few minutes late."

The boy got up and they jogged back to the house. They made it in only a minute, and in fact prayers were a few minutes late that evening and they weren't even missed. Will smiled over at the boy when the roll was called, and was rewarded with a thankful smile back.

Will grinned to himself. He was already one up for his tea meeting with the Headmaster, and he already was starting to feel better about himself

Iranian Lawmaker Defended Educational Rights of Baha’is Without Mentioning Them

, , 1 Comment

Translation by Iran Press Watch

Mahmoud Sadeghi: No One Should be Deprived of Education for Having a Different Religion

Mahmoud Sadeghi, a member of the Iranian Parliament representing Tehran, has recognized the right to education to be a human right, as in accordance with Article 30 of the Iranian Constitution, which grants access to education to all the people of the nation. He did so while speaking at a meeting held on December 16th at a teacher training university.

“All Iranians, regardless of gender, race, religion, and language, should have the right to education, and nobody should be excluded from education for the sake of having another religion, even if they are not one of the three recognized religions,” said the representative of Iran’s reformist “hope” faction. Sadeghi pointed to the fact that “students are being deprived from higher education due to their belief in other religions,” and called it illegal.

According to Baha’i rights activists and other human rights institutions, following the Islamic Revolution, many Baha’i citizens have been systematically banned from pursuing higher education.

The Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolutionary Counselor in Iran only allows those who believe in Islam or one of the religions specified in the Constitution (Zoroastrian, Jewish, and Christian) to attend universities in the country, which is in clear violation of Article 30 as mentioned above.

The International Baha’i Community had previously stated that before 2006, no Baha’i students had the opportunity to enter Iran’s universities due to the existence of a religious identity question in the form for university entrance exam.

“File Defect” has been the secret code for the denial of education of Baha’i students for many years.  Dismissal at the time of selection of the major, not being enrolled in the university, expulsion after the first semester, and… are other ways in which the Islamic Republic of Iran, in the years after the Cultural Revolution, and the “counter-revolutionary purge” of the universities have used to deprive members of the Baha’i community of higher education.

Sadeghi also spoke about the suspension of faculty members, referencing the law passed in 1985 regarding the academic staff of the universities.  He said that the law should be amended because there was no judicial authority to suspend a faculty member. According to him, this uncertainty, especially during certain periods, allowed many faculty members to be unjustly suspended.

Regarding the universities, Sadeghi also said that the government is not the only decision-making body.  Other institutions like Ministry of Information and Security make decisions, as well as the interference of other non-university institutions, which causes the Minister of Science to hold little authority over holding a meeting like this, or hire a professor.  He said according to Jafar Towfiqi, one of the experts in the field, says the Minister of Science hold only 30 percent authority over the universities.

While the molecular and biophysical mechanisms underlying cell protrusion on two-dimensional substrates are well understood, our knowledge of the actin structures driving protrusion in three-dimensional environments is poor, despite relevance to inflammation, development and cancer. Here we report that, during chemotactic migration through microchannels with 5 μm × 5 μm cross-sections, HL60 neutrophil-like cells assemble an actin-rich slab filling the whole channel cross-section at their front. This leading edge comprises two distinct F-actin networks: an adherent network that polymerizes perpendicular to cell-wall interfaces and a 'free' network that grows from the free membrane at the cell front. Each network is polymerized by a distinct nucleator and, due to their geometrical arrangement, the networks interact mechanically. On the basis of our experimental data, we propose that, during interstitial migration, medial growth of the adherent network compresses the free network preventing its retrograde movement and enabling new polymerization to be converted into forward protrusion.

should i really give titles to everything? :O

The craziest week i have ever had for the last months... feel so exhausted, didnt have much time to update because of work loads :(( Feel extremely tired, want to cry and to die right now because of this stupid feeling of helplessness :(( life is sure great but sometimes it is annoying, just have a wish to leave this Earth and find a more peaceful place where there is o work, no bosses, no colleagues ... well few people are allowed, may be less than few people :O... a couple of them, or may be i'll go there alone..will enjoy silence, sleep a lot and relax.... dont know though for how long i will be able to stay there alone :O hehehe..i need for sure some people around me, may be even one will be enough ;) Just you and me, love - what do you think? ;)

well..please dont wonder if this entry is quite senseless... first - i got only 2 hours of sleep for the last 48 hours :P and second - because i am being constantly interrupted :D and distracted :P

well... now i lost the point...hehehe..i guess whoever will read this will think i am going mental :D
it is soooooooo meaningless. So i better finish this entry and start a new one. And please pray for a new entry to be a better one ;)

Mission Critical IT Disaster-Recovery with iTAM™

 Disaster-Recovery Missing?

asset-management,risk-management,unique features of iTAM asset-managementDuring the development of Security Policies for an organization that was at the beginning of a journey towards safeguarding their own (and their customer's) data, we were never asked the most obvious question: What if a disaster strikes and we have to go through this?

Everyone was so concentrated on determining the input, that the obvious thought did not appear: What do we really do when disaster strikes in particular? All good and well having a great policy, but we need to get cracking at implementing technical solutions that help us act when the unthinkable really occurs: A disaster-recovery or business-continuity plan.

Based on the policy, strategies to act in accordance to the policies emerge. And sometimes, like in this case, new solutions to issues at hand are discovered.

A Business Continuity Plan or BCP is how an organization guards against future disasters that could endanger its long-term health or the accomplishment of its primary mission. The primary objective of a Disaster-Recovery plan (a.k.a. Business-Continuity plan) is the description of how an organization has to deal with potential natural or human-induced disasters.

Source: Carnegie Mellon [1]
The disaster-recovery plan steps that every enterprise incorporates as part of business management includes the guidelines and procedures to be undertaken to effectively respond to and recover from disaster recovery scenarios, which adversely impacts information systems and business operations. Plan steps that are well-constructed and implemented will enable organizations to minimize the effects of the disaster and resume mission-critical functions quickly.[2]

According to NIST, The DRP only addresses information system disruptions that require relocation[3]. (Source: NIST). For our short analysis, we will treat the two terms as meaning the same – it is not quite necessary (or possible) to invest in an alternative location like a container data-center in all cases.

Businesses should develop an IT disaster-recovery plan. It begins by compiling an inventory of hardware (e.g. servers, desktops, laptops and wireless devices), software applications and data. Unfortunately, inventories pose an issue more often than not. Having a complete and up-to-date asset list is not supported in the way needed and desired for a disaster recovery plan. Most tools on the market support only a limited number of operating systems, and non-smart assets are a tedious manual workload. The toolset R&P offers underpinning our field-proven managed project office, is operating system agnostic and provides real-time information back on HW-assets, SW-assets (all operating systems), firmware-assets, BIOS/EFI, router/switch-configs, printer-queue/print-server configuration and by way of the newest addition, also provides access to firmware versions of displays and further non-smart assets.

From this inventory (asset-management), it is fairly easy to identify critical software applications and data and the hardware required to run them. Using standardized hardware will help to replicate and re-image new hardware. Ensure that copies of program software are available to enable re-installation on replacement equipment. Prioritize hardware and software restoration[4]. (Source: HLS US)

Phases of building a BC- or Disaster-Recovery Plan

Phase I – Data Collection

- the project should be organized with timeline, resources, and expected output

- the business impact analysis should be conducted at regular intervals

- a risk assessment should be conducted regularly

- Onsite and Offsite Backup and Recovery procedures should be reviewed regarding suitability and performance

- Alternate site locations (if any) must be selected and ready for use

Phase II – Plan Development and Testing

- development the Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP)

- Test the plan (regularly)

Phase III – Monitoring and Maintenance

- Maintenance of the plan by way of updates and regular reviews

- Periodic inspection or audit of DRP

- Documentation of any changes

There is – of course – need to introduce to staff any necessary information about the plans and train them on it, otherwise, staff cannot oblige to the rules once a critical situation hits.

Disaster-Recovery Plan Criteria

A documentation of the procedures as to declaring emergency, evacuation of site pertaining to nature of disaster, active backup, notification of the related officials/DR team/staff, notification of procedures to be followed when disaster breaks out, alternate location specifications, should all be maintained. It is beneficial to be prepared in advance with sample DRPs and disaster recovery examples so that every individual in an organization are better educated on the basics. A workable business continuity planning template or scenario plans are available with most IT-based organizations to train employees with the procedures to be carried out in the event of a catastrophe occurring[5].

Recovery strategies should be developed for Information technology (IT) systems, applications and data. This includes networks, servers, desktops, laptops, wireless devices, data and connectivity. Priorities for IT recovery should be consistent with the priorities for recovery of business functions and processes[6]. (Source: HLS US)

Downtime can be identified in several ways[7] (Source NIST):

The longer a disruption is allowed to continue, the more costly it can become to the organization and its operations. Conversely, the shorter the return time to operations, the more expensive the recovery solutions cost to implement[8].

Cost Balance Point / Break Even

(Note that R&P excel in cost-reduction of systems recovery)

IT Disaster-Recovery Strategies

Information technology systems require hardware, software, data and connectivity. Without one component of the “system,” the system may not run. Therefore, recovery strategies should be developed to anticipate the loss of one or more of the following system components:

- Computer room environment (secure computer room with climate control, conditioned and backup power supply, etc.)

- Hardware (networks, servers, desktop and laptop computers, wireless devices and peripherals)

- Connectivity to a service provider (fiber, cable, wireless, etc.)

- Software applications (electronic data interchange, electronic mail, enterprise resource management, office productivity, etc.)

- Data and restoration[9] (Source: HLS US)

Impact Analysis

The impact analysis should identify the operational and financial impacts resulting from the disruption of business functions and processes. Impacts to consider include:

  • Lost sales and income
  • Delayed sales or income
  • Increased expenses (e.g., overtime labor, outsourcing, expediting costs, etc.)
  • Regulatory fines
  • Contractual penalties or loss of contractual bonuses
  • Customer dissatisfaction or defection
  • Delay of new business plans

in case of corporate businesses and in similar ways for public services.[10]

Testing and Maintenance

The dates of testing, the disaster recovery scenarios, and plans for each scenario should be documented. Maintenance involves records of scheduled review on a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly basis; reviews of plans, teams, activities, tasks accomplished and complete documentation review and update.

In case of an incident

These are the recommended three steps in case any incident happens, be it a hacking attack or other malevolent cyber-incidents (e.g. ransomware hitting the organization), malfunctioning software- or operating-system-updates or faulty firmware, BIOS or software patches:

– Identification

– Containment

– Eradication (A good example of actions performed during the eradication phase would be using the R&P-provided toolset which allows for an individual recovery of each complete system end-to-end). Professional services close the attack-vectors, but at this point, it is of the essence not to lose time with forensic or analytical work. If necessary, the R&P tools may perform cloning of affected systems for analytic use later.

– Recovery (bring affected systems back into the production environment carefully, as to insure that it will not lead another incident. It is essential to test, monitor, and validate the systems that are being put back into production to verify that they are not being re-infected by malware or compromised by some other means.)

– Lessons Learnt[11] (well, this is the task of documentation everyone hates, but it is essential for future reference)

This checklist helps to make sure all boxes are ticked in case the incident hits you:

- Stop the attack in progress.

- Cut off the attack vector.

- Assemble the response team.

- Isolate affected instances.

- Identify timeline of attack.

- Identify compromised data.

- Assess risk to other systems.

- Assess risk of re-attack.

- Apply additional mitigations, additions to monitoring, etc.

- Forensic analysis of compromised systems.

- Internal communication.

- Involve law enforcement (if you are not law enforcement yourselves).

- Reach out to external parties that may have been used as vector for attack.

- External communication.

Getting rid of assumptions as a winning strategy

Summarizing, here are the five major points to consider in disaster-recovery:

  1. Repetitive probing and repeated tests of IT security will deliver facts and figures vs. a false feeling of safety
  2. Generally speaking, the lead time to recovery of any of your configurable items (CI) is the best possible recovery time. Any company can be out of business quick, if incapable of returning to an operational state. If Deutsche Bank is not operational one day, it is their doomsday. Security tests will deliver unpleasant facts on IT –assets formerly deemed safe. Take 20 minutes to return to normal as a goal.
  3. Companies lose customers due to vanished trust in their capabilities (e.g. repeated outages or ability to adapt. Public services sometimes have even more critical usage and depend on minutes. Using experiences from R&P public sector/HLS experiences is not a bad idea.
  4. The shortcut in implementing disaster recovery is to implement a proper DR capability already in the early planning phase.
  5. The second best strategy is not to lose time over reviewing existing IT infrastructure and enhance it by applying the R&P MPO-toolset.

Papers please

One of the cool things about living in the UK is that there is no requirement that you be able to prove who you are. You don't have to carry an internal passport, an ID card, your driving licence etc.

(This will probably change at some point. One person's Fundamental Human Right is another's Technical Legal Loophole.)

Here in California, you're required to carry your driving licence with you when driving. You're also supposed to have proof of insurance and proof of ownership of the car. Or something like that: I keep a photocopy of something in the car, the registration document I think.

I also have a notion that you're supposed to carry identification at all times in the USA even when you're just walking. I don't know how true this is in theory, but of course it hardly matters at all in practice.

I also suspect that as a foreigner, I should probably have my passport with me at all times. F*** that - losing it would be far too big a hassle. Anyway, I don't look Hispanic, nor do I live in Arizona. (I'll rant about the outrageousness of that some other time, once I can write about it without wanting to smash things.)

BDes (Hons) Interaction Design

Research and Writing

This module is intended to consolidate the students’ knowledge and understanding of history and theory, by providing an opportunity for students to generate a body of unique research, tailored to their specialist area.

The module is taught through a series of lectures and seminars that provide an awareness of the changing context of interaction design, exploring how the subject area is expanding and evolving. Lecture content adopts a less technology-focused approach, instead focusing on context.

Students are expected to undertake a substantial piece of writing informed by the lecture and seminar programme to contextualise their practice. Through an emphasis on a substantial piece of written work, students are equipped with the skills required to reflect upon their practice and its theoretical underpinnings. The module aims to equip students with an understanding of the importance of reflective writing and how it can be mapped onto, and benefit, practice.

The module explores a range of research and writing strategies through a series of seminars that identify and explore several key areas of contemporary practice. The emphasis is placed upon evolving the high-level research and writing skills necessary to meet industry’s needs.

The essential aims of this module are:

  • To develop specialist knowledge of emerging technologies, and their possible uses, related to interaction design.
  • To develop a deep understanding of the context in which we consume media, and explore how these media are evolving.
  • To develop research, evaluation, reporting and presentation skills.
  • To develop skills in providing a critique of research performed by others.

Students are supported through a weekly lecture programme that is designed to broaden their knowledge and understanding. Lecture content adopts a less technology-focused approach, instead focusing on context, including: disruptive pricing models (‘Free’, ‘The Long Tail’); shared creation (‘Wikinomics’); underlying shifts in our industry, for example the shift from service to product; varying startup approaches (‘The Lean Startup’); and the psychology of digital design.

Indicative lecture content includes:

  • The Shift from Services to Products
  • The Rise of the Digital Product Designer
  • Wikinomics and Mass Collaboration
  • Riding the Long Tail to Free
  • Steve Jobs vs. The Word of Minimum Viable Product
  • Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and the Psychology of Delight
