I have been meaning to post this article for months... so bless Easter with its 5 days off in a row. Ultimate definition of luxury to a small business owner. Well, I'd imagine to a salary earner too - just for different reasons.

I’m not talented. Creativity is better left to the artsy types. Some people are born creative and others are not. How many times have you thought or uttered a similar phrase? Creativity is one of the least understood (or commonly misunderstood) areas of human endeavor. Notions of just who is creative, or to what degree, are often erroneously formed early in life. Our creative selves are too frequently discouraged in our formative years by others whose ability to judge this matter is often questionable at best (if, in fact, anyone is truly qualified to make this judgment).
Certainly, there is a strong argument for a degree of ingrained creative ability. Close observation of toddlers and their natural proclivity towards certain kinds of thinking and expression will evidence this. Child prodigies also strongly lend credence to the argument that talent and creativity in a given area can, to a large degree, be an inherited trait. How else to explain a young child’s proficiency at, say, the violin, which can often surpass that of an adult having years of training, with seemingly little effort? Surely, there must be some genetic component at work here?
Research into twins in particular certainly strongly suggests evidence of a hereditary component to most, if not all behaviors, including even our choice of mates or wardrobe style. Yet the question remains, to what degree do these innate traits determine our future ability in a given area? It would seem probable that a less talented individual can surpass another naturally gifted individual’s success in a given area by virtue of their passion and commitment, if nothing else. We’ve all heard of people who do not live up to their initial promise, while one of their contemporaries considered far less naturally adept rises to great heights. Such cases certainly imply that there are other factors at work than biology.
Regardless of the existence of a genetic component, it is folly for us to assume that we can not learn to be creative. After all, child prodigies and savants make up a small part of the population and do not account for the people we encounter on a daily basis whom we judge to be creative. Even if we look to celebrities; be they musicians, writers, artists, actors, etc. - who is to say how much of their ability is inherited and how much was learned? Many successful artists tell the tale of countless discouragements prior to their success, when only their commitment, desire, hard work and belief in self allowed them to pursue their goals, despite the often cruel advice of others who judged their shot at success to be non-existent. The panel of self-described experts on American Idol (whose credentials are specious at best) come to mind. We’ve all shared a chuckle at the expense some of that program’s contestants and their far-fetched dreams that seem to fly in the face of reality. Yet can we be so cynical as to assume that some of those who don’t make the cut cannot overcome their current restrictions through hard work, dedication and perseverance?
Neurologists speak of brain elasticity; the ability of the brain to reinforce and strengthen neurological pathways through usage. If we think of the brain as a “muscle” that grows stronger when exercised repeatedly, then it is logical to assume that our creativity will also strengthen with frequent flexing.
We should disavow ourselves of the restrictive notions that inhibit our creative expression. In fact, many people think of creativity in terms of art, completely ignoring evidence of highly creative ideas explored in science, technology, theories of all kinds … even human interactions. If we give it some thought, we all employ creative thinking of some form or another. It might be coming up with a new approach to streamline some of the more mundane tasks at work. Perhaps you’ve developed an organizational concept that will provide more space in your home. Or you may have simply, without even consciously thinking about it, devised an alternate travel route that allows you to drop off your spouse at work, the kids at school, and make it to the office five minutes quicker that your previous route allowed! This may not strike us as creative in the sense we normally attribute to that word, but while not as glamorous, the underlying principles are often identical to those used for artistic creativity.
Although the debate on creativity is far from complete, one thing remains certain. To be creative, one must be open to the notion that they are creative. Whether at work, at home, or pursuing a life-long passion; exercise that creative muscle and you might be surprised by the results. As the old joke goes: How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice!
Amid rising speculation about Bega Cheese’s taste for the Capilano honey business, Bega’s shares on the Australian Securities Exchange have been placed in a trading halt.
Bega has flagged a capital raising plan, including the placement of fully paid ordinary shares to institutional investors and a share purchase plan for retail shareholders.
It requested the trading halt remain in place until Wednesday morning, or earlier, depending on the time required to make an announcement with regard to the progress of the institutional share placement.
In July it also spent $250 million buying the former Murray Goulburn dairy factory at Koroit in Victoria’s south west after the MG business’ new owner, Saputo Australia, was required to sell site to get the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s consent for the MG asset takeover.
Capilano’s market price lifted to a high of $21.19 early last week - firmly above the $20.06 proposed by the Roc Partners-Wattle Hill bidding syndicate which has had a scheme of arrangement takeover offer on Capilano’s boardroom table for the past month.
That deal, valued at about $190m, has been supported by the honey company’s board, subject to another better offer not emerging.
Bega’s interest in Capilano follows last year’s $460 million purchase of the Kraft peanut butter and Vegemite brands and the Mondelez Australia production plant in Melbourne.
A host of other grocery products including Zoosh dips and Bonox, cheese slices, cheese spread, parmesan cheese, and Kraft’s Mac and Cheese were included in the deal.
Late last year Bega bulked up its commitment to the spreads business buying Queensland’s Peanut Company of Australia for $12m.
Bega Cheese helped balance up its books last August with 172.7m netted from an over-subscribed share offer to institutional investors and existing shareholders.

In 1843, after three years of voyaging in the South Seas, Melville signed up as an ordinary seaman on the man-of-war United States, and headed for home. What he observed on that trip formed the basis of White-Jacket, a success both as a story and as an expose of certain naval practices ofwhich the public was only dimly aware. Melville's subtitle, 'The World in a Man-of-War', points to its broad theme: the autocratic, male regime aboard the Neversink is perhaps no more than a microcosm of pre-Civil War America. But under his scandalized liberalism, his desire to expose and to reform a barbaric system which reflects badlyon the Declaration of Independence, runs an unspoken connection. The treatment meted out to the white men on the man-of-war is the same as that experienced by black slaves in every state. With hindsight, Melville's novel is double-edged. This is the only paperback edition currently available.

THE HER ROES OF OTHER PEOPLE'S WAR; Irishmen Who Risked U-Boats Goods into Ireland, Then Saved and the Luftwaffe to Get Drowning German Sailors By Shanley, Valerie The Mail on Sunday (London, England), May 29, 2016
"From the Editor" by Pavich, Matthew - Labor Law Journal, Vol. 62, Issue 4, Winter 2011 | Online Research Library: Questia
The last quarter of 201 1 has highlighted the ongoing tension between the National Labor Relations Board and its Congressional overseers. If recent events suggest anything, it is that the Board's days as an independent agency may be gone.The potential ramifications upon the law that the Board enforces are far less clear.
In the fell of 201 1, the US House Committee on Education and the Workforce introduced and passed legislation that would severely limit the Board's ability to remedy unfair labor practices.The House also approved legislation that would limit the extent to which the Board could reform its own election processes. That vote came the same day that the Board, in a 2-1 vote, approved minor changes to its election processes.
To say that the Board's decision was controversial, would be to understate the response to the greatest possible degree. …
"The Long and Short of Micro Skis" by Phillips, Jeff - Sunset, Vol. 194, Issue 2, February 1995 | Online Research Library: Questia
For nordic skiers who regularly cross their ski tips on downhill turns or tangle their tails while herringboning uphill, the latest innovation in cross-country skiing seems, in hindsight, a no-brainer: shorter skis.
This winter, micro skis as much as 2 feet shorter than the traditional 6-foot length will be standard rental issue at many nordic centers throughout the West. While they won't replace the traditional designs for serious racers or experienced back-country mountaineers, beginners and experienced recreational skiers will find them easier to maneuver on groomed trails with set tracks.
Since the late 1960s, when cross-country skiing began gaining popularity in the United States, nordic ski lengths have typically ranged from 190 cm for women to 210 cm for men. These long, skinny skis were well suited to prevailing conditions where skiing was truly cross-country and skiers set their own tracks on ungroomed slopes.
As nordic ski centers and mountain resorts began setting tracks and grooming trails, skiers just plunked their old skis onto the new trails. Today, according to John Slouber of Royal Gorge (near Tahoe), the largest cross-country ski resort in North America, approximately 75 percent of all recreational skiers use groomed trails.
While Slouber wasn't the first to recognize the benefits of shorter skis, he had the clout to convince Fischer Ski to make a ski measuring just 147 cm for both men and women. The Revolution was introduced in 1992; other manufacturers were quick to follow with their own lines of short skis.
Designers claim that the arching camber under the foot and the stiffness of the tail - which is nearly as rigid as that of an alpine ski - allow both track skiers and ski skaters of different weights to get plenty of push without sacrificing much glide. …
Building a Health Legacy: Dr. Kenneth Cooper Has Devoted His Business to Changing Lifestyles By Fisher, Brenna Success, June 2009
"Scouting: The Straight and Narrow" by Wapshott, Nicholas - New Statesman (1996), Vol. 137, Issue 4887, March 10, 2008 | Online Research Library: Questia
Philadelphia City Council has given its Boy Scouts an ultimatum: change your ways or take a hike. In two months, the 64,000-strong Philadelphia Boy Scout troop will be evicted from the grand Italian Renaissance headquarters it built for itself 80 years ago, and for which it pays $1 a year rent to the local authority. The issue is not the rent but the policy of the Boy Scouts of America, which bans homosexuals, agnostics and atheists from its ranks.
The Philadelphia Scouts, the third-largest group in the US, is caught between its national leadership, which sticks to a literal reading of the Scout oath "to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight", and the Philadelphia council, which by law cannot subsidise discrimination.
The city has given notice that after 31 May, when the lease runs out, it will let the Scout building for a market rent of $200,000 a year, either to the Scouts or another tenant.
The Philadelphia scouting controversy has rekindled the bitterness of 2000 following the Supreme Court's narrow five-to-four decision to back the Scouts' First Amendment rights over the individual rights of James Dale, a scoutmaster who was sacked because he is gay. The court declared that the Scouts operate much like a private club, with members invited to join and be approved by existing members, and that they were therefore free to bar those who offend them.
As a result, charities and public bodies with anti-discrimination policies stopped funding the Scouts. In Philadelphia, charities have withdrawn more than half a million dollars a year, resulting in a 50 per cent reduction in paid staff.
The Cradle of Liberty Council board, which runs the Philadelphia Scouts, tried in 2003 to opt out of the anti-gay dictum, but the national organisation overruled them. …
