Genbey Yamaguchi, the tenth generation owner of the famous Kyoto obi specialist, Kondaya, which has remained a leader in its field for 278 years, is a rare breed of man. His bold character is like that of a Japanese Samurai of the Sengoku period.\nYamaguchi believes that challenging tradition is the best way to protect it. He uses the skills and old materials passed down to him through the generations. He also incorporates many new methods and materials that are unheard-of to most, defying the notion of what is possible in his craft.\nTaking dyeing and weaving skills that trace back to the Heisei era, Yamaguchi strives to pass down these Japanese techniques into the future, as part of a proud tradition within Japanese culture.\nThis exhibition is entitled ‘ Weaving Lalique’, and the artist – in the spirit of competition - has taken up a direct challenge to Rene Lalique, who played an active part in the creation of glass works in the 19th – 20th century.\nYamaguchi has successfully created obi reminiscent of Lalique’s Art Nouveau glasses containing curved lines and organic motifs like plants and flowers.\nGinza Ippodo Gallery introduces a number of obi, woven with the best threads, color and patterns created by exceptional craftsmen.\n2002 Created kimono using silk from koishimaru, an ancient species of silkworm indigenous to Japan only recently made available to the wider world after having been cultivated exclusively in the Momijiyama Imperial Cocoonery.\nThe resulting works are shown in an exhibition entitled Kaguya Kono Mayu Koishimaru at the Sōgetsu Kaikan in Tokyo, for which he received the Nikkei MJ Award.\n2003 Received Japan Culture Design Award.\n2014 Created obi inspired by the works of the painter Matsui Fuyuko. Exhibited at Roppongi Hills in Tokyo (March) and Kondaya Genbey’s headquarters in Kyoto (April).
Over the weekend, the Boston Globe ran a story about the challenges facing school districts in Massachusetts’ “Gateway Cities,” 24 former industrial cities across the state, in establishing partnerships with nonprofits providing services or funding to schools. The article,”Smaller Mass. cities seek non-profit to bolster schools,” reported that almost 75% of the 40 turnaround schools named by the state since 2010 have been in outlying cities, but for a host of reasons, the bulk of partnerships seem to be concentrated in more populated urban areas like Boston.\nThis article comes on the heels of Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick’s proposed 2013 budget, which includes funding for his “Gateway Cities Education Agenda,” an initiative he announced in November. The agenda comprises five strategies aiming to close the achievement gap, including a student support effort to be funded by a proposed $3.6 million. The Governor proposed creation of Student Support Councils in Gateway City schools and hiring Student Support Counselors to provide comprehensive services to students and their families.\nAlready, a movement is taking root among some nonprofits to look beyond Boston. ACCESS, which provides college financial aid advice to middle and high school students, has expanded to Springfield. So has City Connects, an organization at Boston College that puts counselors in local schools to help connect students and their families to a variety of programs.
There have been a number of developments that have slowed progress on rolling out the program, most notably Microsoft's response to GPLv3 and necessary preparations for a potential legal challenge against this response. The Free Software community needs confidence in the license; it needs to be clear that Microsoft cannot play fast and loose with GPLv3. To that end, FSF US released a statement on August 28, 2007.\nFSF US continues to develop the license revision resources at gplv3.fsf.org. Although both the GPLv3 and LGPLv3 are released, they are still revising the new GNU Affero General Public License (GNU AGPLv3), the GNU Free Documentation License (GNU FDLv2), and the GNU Simplified Documentation License (GNU SFDL). Both the AGPL and FDL licenses are expected to be finalized before the end of October 2007.\nThe GNU FDL and SFDL license development projects are very closely linked to the needs of Wikipedia. Currently, all text on Wikipedia is covered by the FDL, making it the most important "free art" license in the world.\nThe next phase is to complete a popular guide to changes between GPLv2 and GPLv3. The deadline for the completion of that is October 1, 2007.\nBecause not everyone can handle reading texts describing license provisions and what they mean, FSF US is creating a series of video tutorials explaining different aspects of GPLv3. The first of these is targeted to be released on November 19, 2007.\nWorth to mention that SugarCRM in their press release announced to use to GPLv3.
(World Health Organization) – One third of more than 700 health facilities in Borno State, north-eastern Nigeria, have been completely destroyed, according to a report released today by WHO. Of those facilities remaining, one third are not functioning at all. “High insecurity, difficult terrain and lack of health workers, medicines, equipment and basic amenities such as safe water are making access to essential, lifesaving health care extremely difficult for people in this conflict-affected area,” says Dr Wondi Alemu, WHO Representative in Nigeria.
Mascarpone that creamy filling that helps give Tiramisu it’s light yet indulgent texture. But what is mascarpone cheese ? And just what exactly can you do with it? It is not only in desserts that mascarpone makes an appearance it is also found in several pasta dishes and some rissottos.\nWhat is Mascarpone Cheese ?\nMascarpone is made by basically taking cream and coagulating it with some form of acid. That acid for the most part is either lemon juice or some form of vinegar.\nThe process is similar to how Ricotta is made. However that’s pretty much where the similarities end. Ricotta is produced from the whey, whereas mascarpone is made from the remaining curds. Mascarpone is produced from cow’s milk. It is one of many famous Italian cheeses along with Ricotta, Gorgonzola, Pecorino and Grana Padano or Parmesan.\nMascarpone has a creamy yet light, smooth texture that is somewhere between whipped cream and cream cheese. It mixes well with cold liquids however care must be taken when adding it to anything hot. Add a small bit at a time and fold into the dish rather than stirring vigorously.\nIt has a fairly subtle flavor on its own. However when it is used with a nice sweet flavor such as a fruit jam or honey it really starts to shine. Paired with something sweet it’s creamy taste and texture gives a great contrast. The rich flavor is due to the high butterfat content.\nIf you are stuck without any mascarpone in your local store then there are a few alternatives that you can use as a mascarpone substitute.\nRicotta is the obvious mascarpone replacement but because it has a lower fat content it may be best to use it only in savory dishes. It tends to have a lumpy texture than mascarpone so is not that suitable for sweet dishes.\nCrème fraiche and cream cheeses are also good in savory dishes.\nAlternatively you could also use a really thick Greek yogurt if you can get your hands on one. The yogurt in this instance is best suited to sweeter dishes like desserts.\nIf none of the above are available you can make a sort of alternative to mascarpone from cream cheese and with some double cream and a little bit of very soft butter. You may need to play around with the ratio’s depending on the type of cream cheese and just how heavy the double cream is.\nIf you are having trouble finding mascarpone where you live then fear not if you are really stuck and none of the mascarpone substitutes above are available then you can make your own. The prep time only takes about 10 minutes but you will need to leave it in the refrigerator over night.\nPlace a deep saucepan with the cream in it over a low heat.\nBring the cream to a fairly low simmer. Note: do not boil the cream.\nUsing a thermometer is best. You want it to simmer at about 180 F.\nLet if simmer for roughly 3 minutes.\nAdd the lemon juice stirring gently to ensure it is well mixed.\nLet simmer for a further 3 minutes.\nTake off the heat and let cool for about an hour.\nUsing a strainer with several layers of cheesecloth pushed into it add the mixture into the cheesecloth.\nLet it sit in the fridge over night and allow any surplus whey to drain.\nIn the morning it should be ready for you to enjoy.\nFor the most part mascarpone is quite readily available across the Us. However in some smaller towns it may be harder to find. You can usually find it in the fridge next to the crème fresh or the cream cheeses.\nThe majority of mascarpone in the US is made in the US. However you may be able to find some importer ones from Italy in a specialty Italian food store or in a cheese mongers. But you should expect to pay significantly more for the imported versions than those that are produced on US soil.\nMascarpone has a much higher fat content than cream cheese. It is made using an acid whereas cream cheese is produced using a lactic acid bacteria.\n« What is Gorgonzola Cheese ?
The view of Mount Marcy near the winter tree line. Photo by Phil Brown.\nThe equinox occurred on March 20. The baseball season opened on April 2. Nevertheless, spring has not arrived on the top of Mount Marcy.\nI skied Marcy this past Monday and found good conditions from Adirondak Loj all the way to the summit (see videos below).\nWith this week’s rain and warm weather, conditions won’t be as good this weekend, but the snow at higher elevations will be around for quite a while. The last signpost on Marcy, about a half-mile from the top, was mostly buried, with just a foot or so sticking out of the snow.\nHikers and snowshoers sometimes forget—or don’t realize—that snow at higher elevations can linger for weeks after it disappears in the valleys. And that skiers may still be skiing the summits when it’s 65 degrees at the trailhead.\nOn my trip, I encountered six other skiers—and this was a Monday. Incidentally, only two of the six were local.\nMount Marcy’s summit. Photo by Phil Brown.\nI also saw four hikers bare-booting toward Marcy Dam. Regulations for the High Peaks Wilderness require hikers to wear snowshoes if the snow is at least eight inches deep. The aim is to prevent post-holing. In this instance, though, the trail was hard as ice, and their boots hardly dented the surface. When I caught up with them at the dam, I saw they were carrying snowshoes.\n“We didn’t ruin your trail, did we?” one asked.\n“We’d put on our snowshoes then,” she said.\nAs spring progresses, the weather warms, and the snow softens, it will make a difference: bare-booters could do a lot of damage to a trail.\nI remember skinning up the Marcy trail on a warm spring day and encountering a hiker on the ridge above the Corkscrew (a steep, twisty section of trail) who was sinking up to his knees in snow. He was frustrated. I was annoyed.\n“You should be wearing snowshoes,” I admonished.\n“The season’s over,” he rejoined.\nRight. That’s why you’re up to your knees in the stuff.\nAnother time I was skiing down the Corkscrew when I saw several snowshoers gathered at the bottom. I yelled a warning, and they stepped to the side—all except one. I had to do a quick stop.\nIt turns out these snowshoers had been bare-booting for miles. They finally decided to put on their snowshoes after sinking continually into the snow. It didn’t occur to them that the base of the frequently skied Corkscrew is not the best place to stop. The reason that one guy didn’t move is that he had sunk up to his thighs.\nIf you’re heading up Mount Marcy in spring, or any of the High Peaks, don’t be fooled by balmy conditions downstate or at the trailhead. It may still be arctic-like on the summit. Indeed, one time I skied Mount Marcy and played golf, in Ray Brook, on the same day. On another occasion, I started skiing from the Loj on a warm day in late April, and though I was sweating much of the way, when I reached tree line, I encountered a fierce wind and freezing wind chill. I put on a winter hat, gloves, and puffy jacket. Continuing upward, I passed a hiker in shorts. He looked miserable.\nSo check the conditions before you head up high. If there’s snow, bring snowshoes.\nHere are conditions for this weekend from Adirondack Almanack, the online journal owned by the Explorer.\nI recorded two short videos on my trip. The first was taken on my descent of the summit cone. The second was taken on the cruise along Phelps Brook, a mellow section but a bit rocky. Enjoy!
A ground breaking, first ever comprehensive probe of the fitness and health benefits of all-terrain vehicle (ATV) and off-road motorcycle (ORM) recreational riding. The national study expanded on an Ontario pilot study of the health benefits of off-road motorcycle (ORM) riding.\nJamie F. Burr, Veronica K. Jamnik, Jim A. Shaw and Professor Norman Gledhill at York University’s Physical Activity and Chronic Disease Unit, Faculty of Health agreed to conduct the study and for Jamie Burr, a kinesiologist and exercise physiologist at York, the research would be part of his PhD. The purpose of the research -- to characterize the physiological demands of recreational ORV riding under typical ORV riding conditions using habitual recreation off-road vehicle riders.\nThe study was approved by the university’s human research ethics review board, and in accord with research ethics guidelines, written and informed consent was provided by all participants, with those younger than 18 yr also providing parental consent after verbal explanation of procedures.\nThis published report (July 2010 issue of Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, the Official Journal of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), “Physiological Demands of Off-Road Vehicle Riding”) on one component of the research focuses specifically on the physiological demands of off-road vehicle (ORV) riding, compares them to the demands of other recreational activities, and explores the health and fitness benefits that ORV participation can provide to Canadians.\nSubsequent publications will examine the fitness and health of habitual recreational off-road riders; their own health perceptions, lifestyle behaviours and quality of life; and fitness and health training adaptations from six to eight weeks of ORV riding (i.e. how much ORV riding is required for health and fitness benefits to be derived).\nStudy began in 2007 with a nationwide survey involving 310 participant to determine the characteristics of a “typical” rider and of a “typical” ride (Phase I). This information was then used as the basis to determine the health and fitness impacts of off-road riding (Phase II).\nPhase II involved 128 riders – male and female divided between the age groups of 16-29, 30-49 and 50+. Riders were first familiarized with the trail for safety reasons. All riders used their own riding gear and vehicles to avoid the necessity of having to adjust to new equipment. Riders wore specially designed helmets and equipment that allowed researchers to monitor and measure the physical demands of off-road riding (heart rate, oxygen consumption, muscular involvement (fatigue), and rate of exertion).\nOff-road vehicle riding was determined to be a recreational activity associated with moderate-intensity cardiovascular demand and fatigue-inducing muscular strength challenges, similar to other self-paced recreational sports such as golf, rock-climbing and alpine skiing.\nOxygen consumption, which is an indicator of physical work, increased by 3.5 and 6 times the resting values for ATV and ORM riding respectively – which falls within moderate intensity activity according to the American College of Sports Medicine guidelines and is in line with Canadian physical activity recommendations.\nUsing heart rate measurements alone, the demands of riding belong to the category of “hard” exercise – this increase of intensity may be linked to heighten psycho emotional responses (i.e. adrenalin), an effect of heat stress while riding, or a response to repeated isometric squeezing of the handlebars.

OK Go has collaborated with plenty of brands—including Chevrolet, Google, Samsung and State Farm—on its own music videos. But here is the first truly traditional commercial the band has ever filmed. Though of course, this being OK Go, it's far from typical.\nThe ad, which the band worked on in China for much of February, is for the Chinese furniture store Red Star Macalline. Full of optical illusions, it visually references OK Go's 2014 video "The Writing's on the Wall" (which the band later accused Apple of ripping off) but is set to another OK Go track, "I Won't Let You Down" (a remixed version by drummer Dan Konopka).
When The Bellarmine-Jefferson High girls' volleyball team was struggling during the early portion of the season, Coach Miguel Segura still had hope.\nThe coach figured his team would fight out of its funk in time to capture its sixth straight Santa Cruz League championship.\nThe Guards not only won the league crown, they did so without dropping a match in league play. Bell-Jeff finished 8-0 in league Tuesday with a 25-21, 25-13, 25-22, victory against host St. Anthony.\n"I knew that sooner or later the girls would come around and start playing like I know that they could," said Segura, whose squad increased its unbeaten league streak to 44. "Our goal at the beginning of the season was to win another league championship, and we were able to do that."\nUnder Segura, Bell-Jeff (11-6-2) has the longest league-title winning streak of any team, in any sport, in the city.\nAgainst St. Anthony, All-CIF Southern Section middle blocker Jocelyn Cervantes had 13 kills and 12 digs. Teammate Taryn Nelson had 10 kills and Amanda Maalouf contributed 32 assists.\n"We're almost to where I want us to be," said Segura, a Bell-Jeff graduate. "I won't say we're completely there yet, but we have definitely improved."\nIn early-season matches, the Guards struggled at times after the loss of some key players from last year's team and the addition of athletes who were playing volleyball for the first time.\nNext up for Bell-Jeff, ranked No. 5 in CIF Southern Section Division IV-A, is the playoffs, as the pairings will be announced today. Last season, the Guards made it to the division semifinals and in 2009 advanced to the first championship contest in program history.\n"We have had some pretty good playoff runs the last few years," Segura said. "We are hoping to have another run this year, and maybe we can win it all. We are looking forward to CIF."

By karananya, people who tend to get called allergic or atopic allergies.\nAustrian pediatrician named Clemens Pirquet (1874-1929) first used the term allergy. He referred to both immunity lucrative and dangerous as allergic hypersensitivity. The word allergy comes from the Greek words "allos," meaning different or changed and "ergos," meaning work or action. Allergy broadly referred to as "reaction change". The word allergy was first used in 1905 to describe the adverse reactions of children who are given repeated injections of horse serum to fight infection. The following year, the term allergy is proposed to explain the reactivity of the change is not expected this.\n1. Estimated that approximately 50 million Americans are affected by allergic conditions.\n2. The cost of allergies in America is more than U.S. $ 10 billion annually.\n3. Allergic rhinitis (nasal allergies) affects about 35 million Americans, 6 million of them are children.\n4. Asthma affects 15 million Americans, 5 million of them are children.\n5.

"They are often scary and painful," says his mom Sherry. Zachary also has an able-bodied twin sister, Lilianna. Their mom and dad have watched her reach all of childhood's major milestones - learning to crawl, to walk, and ride a bike - while Zachary sat on the sidelines. But, not anymore! Now that Zachary has his own handcycle from Athletes Helping Athletes, he's off the sidelines and racing with Lilianna and his whole family in their neighborhood, nearby parks, and even on family road trips. "It's red and fast," Zachary says with an ear-to-ear grin. "I can ride it on speed 3!" Watch Zachary go!\nHow You Can Change a Life!\nFirst off, you deserve a heartfelt thank you for caring about the kids of Athletes Helping Athletes! Like my wife Fiona and I, you can understand how sports are powerful vehicles for changing the world.\nNow, think about what it means to introduce a disabled child to an Adaptive Bike and you’ll see how you can really change someone’s world. It’s amazing! I’ve seen it many times!\nWe were inspired to create AHA when we saw that most other charities can’t cover the full cost of these pricey bikes - they can run upwards of $4,500! That’s just out of reach for so many families!\nFor the past 18 years, people just like you have made it possible for AHA to provide more than 1,267 Adaptive Bikes to deserving children all around the country!\nYour open hearts have allowed us to never turn away a family in-need, and that's just awesome!!\nTogether, we are changing lives and making a difference. It all starts with helping children with disabilities go fast with their family and friends, so they can break free and just be kids!\nZachary is like any other vibrant 5-year-old boy in so many ways. He's wiggly, he's giggly, and he's a ball of energy. He loves to be outside and play, he adores animals, and he's incredibly strong-willed. He's had to be.

The Anaesthesia and Perioperative Care Priority Setting Partnership is a collaborative effort involving patients, the public and clinical professionals, identifying the most important directions for new research in anaesthesia and perioperative care.\nThis process has been facilitated by the James Lind Alliance (JLA), a non-profit making initiative established in 2004 which aims to bring these groups together to identify and prioritise the top 10 uncertainties or 'unanswered questions' about treatments they collectively consider to be most important. The JLA process is an effective way to ascertain the aspects of care which truly matter both to patients and to clinicians.\nThis information, along with all the other data collected by the surveys, has been made available to all the participating organisations, via the National Institute of Academic Anaesthesia who will consider how to incorporate these themes into future research over the next few months.\nFurther information on this exercise and the steps undertaken to reach this top 10 can be found on the PSP pages of the NIAA website.
Public spending on infrastructure plays an important role in promoting economic growth and poverty alleviation. Empirical studies unequivocally show that under-investment in infrastructure limits economic growth. At the same time, numerous other studies have shown that investment in infrastructure can be an effective tool in fighting poverty reduction. In that context, the financing of infrastructure has been a critical element of most economic growth and poverty reduction strategies in developing countries since the start of this millennium. This book provides a comparative analysis of the aggregate and sectoral implications of higher spending on infrastructure in three very different Asian countries: China, Pakistan, and the Philippines. Particular attention is paid to the role of alternative financing mechanisms for increasing public infrastructure investment, namely distortionary and non-distortionary means of financing. The book will be of interest to scholars and policy-makers concerned with economic growth in developing countries.
Isn't snow wonderful. We've had snow on the ground for the whole of January (very unusual) but it's nearly all gone. Fortunately there's some fresh stuff forecast for this week. Totally understand your frustration with the pattern. Very pretty little thing...I especially like them all hung in a row in different colours.\nThose cinnamon buns look amazing Simmy! I may try and make them for tomorrow since even up here it's looking like we'll have no school services tomorrow.\nI really like your crocheted pot holders - I knit almost constantly but I have never quite managed to get crocheting. It doesn't make sense to me! Maybe I just need to persevere.\ni second the cinnamon buns looking good. As soon as i saw your post i knew i recognized that pattern. I also found it in the 70's pattern book here at a thrift store in wyoming. Was actually going to start working on it soon, so thanks for the corrected pattern. Enjoy the snow.\nYours is looking like a wonderful place to be although I won't be venturing outside - more like the crochet hook for me I think. [We have about a foot of white stuff here].\nHi Simmy, what a wonderful time you are having, with the snow, baking and crafting!.\nWe are having here strong winds and no rain for nearly a month, very unusual for the tropics.\nyour pot holder looks fab, its a great colour too. so do your cinnamon buns actually, just the thing to prepare for snow-fun!\nYUM!

Axes were important rescue tools to access buildings and assist in clearing paths to trapped and wounded people.\nA rescue worker wearing the ARP axe and carrier.\nThe 'ARPAX' was manufactured by the Chillington Tool Company Limited of Wolverhampton. Some of these are imprinted with ARP 55 - the pattern number for this item. The insulated handle was encased in rubber which provided protection if the axe severed an electric cable (moulded into the handle was 'TESTED 20,000 VOLTS'). There were three variants of the ARPAX. A leather holder was available to hold the axe on a belt.\nWW2 Chillington ARP Axe - ARPAX.\nWW2 Chillington ARP Axe - ARPAX marking.\nWW2 Chillington ARP Axe - ARPAX handle.\nA wooden handled ARP axe was also manufactured by Perks.\nThe Defiant ARP Axe - Made by Perks (Side 1).\nThe Defiant ARP Axe - Made by Perks (Side 2).\nThe Defiant ARP Axe - Made by Perks (Marks).\nAt certain air raid incidents the main telephone lines may have been cut. To allow for communications to continue, ARP services (Head Wardens, Rescue Parties etc) could use this portable telephone that ran off two size T dry cell batteries.\nCeiling pikes and prodders were used to test whether loose debris could be brought down in a bomb damaged property. Wardens and rescue services would prod at walls and ceilings to see if they could take the weight of a person for extraction from a building etc.\nAt air raid incidents where electricty supplies were interrupted this emergency carbide work lamp would be used. Water would be added to the bucket to activate the calcium carbide stored inside. This would create acetylene gas which would pass up through the handle and on to the burner. It produced a bright white light, which was reflected by the shield.\nWW2 ARP rescue services emergency carbide lamp.\nWW2 ARP rescue services emergency carbide lamp - reflector shield.\nWW2 ARP rescue services emergency carbide lamp - 1939 dated label.
These strain sensors are suitable for static measurements, for example at the monitoring of structures or in the weight measurement of silos. Depending on the mounting of the strain sensor, the zero point is slightly shifted. Thanks to the digital input, the zero point adjustment can be easily teached-in by the PLC, even though the strain sensor is mounted at a place difficult to reach.\nThe zero point adjustment can be triggered via the PLC. If the input is pulled to >10 V, the signal is set to zero (reset) and the zero point adjustment is carried out. If the input is open or 0V, the sensor is in measuring mode. The reset logic is alternatively available with “Active-High-Levels” instead of “Active-Low-Levels”.\nThe zero point adjustment at these strain sensors is carried out by a digital zero point adjustment mechanism. The zero point adjustment is stored permanently, it is not lost after a power off. It provides a non-volatile, stable zero point (intallation tara). Therefore, it is qualified for all static applications. The numbers of tarings is limited to 100.000.
Learn how to make these cute sock puppets into all kinds of fun animals. Making sock puppets is a great project for young girls just learning to craft.\nThe PDF Version contains instructions and patterns for all animals shown in our photo.\nThe Easy Print PDF Version contains instructions and patterns for all the animals shown; cow, sheep, horse, giraffe, mouse, snake, and dog without margins, ads or logos.\nOther optional items; yarn for hair, chenille sticks, etc..\nPart of our sock puppets require that you can hand sew a basic up and down stitch. Although the decorating of the puppets can be done by older kids, the base of the puppet should be done by an adult or someone who can sew a basic handstitch.\nHave some sewing pins available for this step. Place the sock on your hand with the heel of the sock at your knuckles and the toe hanging out beyond your fingers.\nOpen your hand so that your thumb is below your other fingers as if opening a puppets mouth.\nWithout changing the position of the mouth, carefully take the sock off your hand.\nUsing an up and down stitch, stitch a simple triangle at each side of the puppets mouth as shown in the photos.\nPut your hand back into the puppet and get your marker. Make marks at the locations for the eyes, nose, ears, and other parts of the animal you are making. Take the puppet off your hand.\nUsing the pattern provided for the gluing base cut out the gluing base from a cereal box. Fold where the rectangular part meets the rounded part.\nSlip the foam mouthpiece into the puppet mouth without glue first to make sure it will fit correctly. It should fit inside the puppet's lower mouth with the front edge of the foam, at the front edge of the puppet’s lower mouth. Remove and trim if needed.\nAdd hot glue to one side of the mouthpiece and insert it into the mouth, then quickly press down into place.\nGlue the eyes, nose, and tongue if you have one onto your puppet. Depending on what type of animal you are making, you may want to pull the cardboard gluing base out and put it back in sideways so you have a flat surface to glue against for the ears that are attached on the sides of the head, such as a dog like ours.\nThese sock puppets are a terrific and inexpensive craft to make for your kids, for a child's gift, or for your churches' Sunday school group or school classroom.\nThe Easy Print Version includes instructions and patterns for all the animals shown; cow, sheep, horse, giraffe, mouse, snake, and dog without margins, ads or logos.
He visited Paris in 1935 and made contacts there, such as Paul Éluard, but returned to Berlin because his wife Margarete was dying of tuberculosis.\nBellmer produced the first doll in Berlin in 1933. Long since lost, the assemblage can nevertheless be correctly described thanks to approximately two dozen photographs Bellmer took at the time of its construction. Standing about fifty-six inches tall, the doll consisted of a modeled torso made of flax fiber, glue, and plaster; a mask-like head of the same material with glass eyes and a long, unkempt wig; and a pair of legs made from broomsticks or dowel rods. One of these legs terminated in a wooden, club-like foot; the other was encased in a more naturalistic plaster shell, jointed at the knee and ankle. As the project progressed, Bellmer made a second set of hollow plaster legs, with wooden ball joints for the doll's hips and knees. There were no arms to the first sculpture, but Bellmer did fashion or find a single wooden hand, which appears among the assortment of doll parts the artist documented in an untitled photograph of 1934, as well as in several photographs of later work.

We coordinate the production and marketing of our apples from South-East Styria. The care and experience of our farmers and the gentle handling of the apples – from flower to transport – that is what accounts for the top of the line products by Aroma Obst.\nWe employ computer-controlled sorting and packaging systems which ensure our apples undergo rigorous screenings.\nIn order for the apples to remain fresh throughout their whole marketing period, we store them in an optimal low-oxygen environment, which is specifically fitted to the needs of each variety. Almost 50 employees take care that only immaculate apples leave our production facility.\nIn July 1995, the AROMA GmbH along with the AROMA Obst and Vegetable and the AROMA Packaging were founded in Weiz, Styria. Among the partners were Styrian fruit producers who intended to create a cooperation for their distribution efforts. Eight years later the partners decided to build a packing plant with cutting-edge systems.\nIn 2007, the company was acquired by Obstbau Zinner, one of the biggest apple producers in Austria. The result of this merger was the AROMA Obst GmbH. Today, AROMA Obst and its marketing community are among the most successful fruit marketers in Styria.
Years of perspective allows you to be a pretty good judge of a well run event, and when an event needs some help.\nI’ve seen everything from really impressive venues (full of sponsors and vendors), but with an abysmal course layout, to great course layouts and flowy trails, but with registration running out of the trunk of a car and no bathrooms for miles.\nThat being said, it has become obvious that USA Cycling’s (USAC) Collegiate Mountain National Championships is an event that could use some perspective.\nFor some time now, USA Cycling has officiated a Mountain Bike National Championship event every year.\nThis event is an awesome spectacle complete with national sponsors, vendors, and dealers, all descending upon a mountain bike trail system for several days of riding.\nThis event allows CAT1, CAT2, and CAT3 riders from all over the country to compete on the national stage, and is often the culminating race of a mountain bikers season.\nSome even do well enough to get selected to the US Olympic Mountain Bike Team, while others go on to represent the United States in World UCI events overseas. It’s a big deal!\nNow juxtapose that event with the USAC Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championship.\nThis event is not the awesome a spectacle that the first one is, but it does some of the same pomp-and-circumstance of its older cousin.\nIt is also the national stage for mountain bike riders — but only for Collegiate CAT-A riders — to compete against each other, win prestige for their school and conference, and hopefully get invites to national teams.\nNational sponsors, vendors, and dealers do show up, but not with the same numbers.\nAdditionally, the US Olympic Mountain Biking Team is sometimes on hand to scout new talent for future teams, but not always.\nIt almost seems like something is missing from the Collegiate event, something the non-Collegiate event has every year, but the Collegiate side lacks.\nIt took a while for us to figure out what it was. Sponsors? Check. Vendors? Check. Good Trails? Check. Money? Mmmm… not sure.\nIf you haven’t figured it out yet what the USAC Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championship is missing, here’s a hint: the non-Collegiate Mountain Nationals has a full boat of CAT2 and CAT3 events IN ADDITION TO the CAT1 events.\nThis creates quite the turnout, especially when you looking at a multiple day event with a race for every mountain bike discipline there is.\nThat is a huge undertaking for any event manager, but is also a nice profit margin if you can pull it off.\nUSAC Mountain Nationals is a very lucrative endeavor that attracts twice as many spectators as it does riders. With all those fans buying swag, food, and lodging, everyone one working a USAC National event has the potential to make some money.\nFlip back to the USAC Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championships, and you don’t see the same type of money changing hands.\nFirst off, the Collegiate event only allows CAT-A riders.\nAll those CAT-B and CAT-C riders, that make up most of the clubs in over 100 universities, do not get to ride.\nNo one could give us a good answer.\nSo we did what any investigative journalist would do: we followed the money.\nThe USAC Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championships online registration for Endurance and Gravity events is $65 ($85 onsite).\nCompare that to a much more complex pricing model at the non-Collegiate Mountain Nationals where Endurance is between $80-$100, Gravity is between $90-$120, and Enduro is between $115-$145 (unless you registered early, then you save about $15-$20; Onsite registration is an additional $20-$35).\nCollegiate riders pay only 50-60% of what CAT1/2/3 riders pay.\nThis makes the non-Collegiate event far more profitable, even if the same number of riders show up.\nBut if the majority of collegiate riders are in the C and B Mountain Categories, why are they not included in the USAC Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championships?\nWouldn’t that help make up the numbers?\nWe first suspected that it was a school thing. Something to do with not having college kids out of class for longer than a weekend.\nBut other sports do not seem to have this problem during championship events, so we removed that as a suspected cause.\nWe then thought it could just be a matter of economics.\nIn our observations, collegiate races simply do not create the turnout that the non-Collegiate events do.\nThis, in turn, means that collegiate events do not create the kind of revenue that a bigger event can generate.\nHowever, one might ask — if one really believed in the mission of USA Cycling — why does the low revenue side of collegiate championships matter to USA Cycling?\nIsn’t that why USA Cycling collects license fees, charges race directors $3.60/day per rider for insurance, and puts on National Championships for?\nSo costs don’t seem to be that big of a factor either.\nUSA Cycling has the operating capital to add to a collegiate championships, and I’m sure their are plenty of promoters and sponsors that would happily pick up the tab.\nSo is the actual reason the reason everyone seems to give us when we ask?\nIs it really just the way “it’s always been“?\nIt’s a shame that CAT-C and CAT-B riders cannot attend the Collegiate Mountain Nationals as a competitor.\nThe unfortunate truth is that during this year’s event in Snowshoe, West Virginia, those collegiate rides that will have the event in their own backyard will have to settle for attending as a spectator.\nFor what seems like a simple addition to the USAC Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championships – add a extra day for CAT-C and CAT-B riders, or work them into the existing schedule – will again be only for the top riders in collegiate racing.\nThis seems like a lost teaching opportunity.\nImagine the experience that lower category collegiate riders could have by rubbing elbows with other schools across the country.\nMaybe it’s time this format changed and USA Cycling started making the Collegiate Mountain Nationals THE SAME as the non-Collegiate Mountain Nationals.\nBecause unless there is a legitimate reason for not including CAT-C and CAT-B riders in the 2016 USAC Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championships, collegiate clubs should consider pushing their conference directors to find out why.\nIt is time to change the USAC Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championships format to include CAT-C and CAT-B riders, and become more inclusive, and less exclusive.
Mexico is the eighth largest producing country globally and one of the largest producers of certified organic coffee. Even so, most coffee is grown in small farms numbering over 100,000. Its main growing regions are the states of Veracruz, Oaxaca and Chiapas located in the south central and southern areas of the country, extending south to the border with Guatemala. Generally, Mexican coffees are mild and light-bodied with delicate flavors that can vary nicely in the cup, depending upon the region. The southern most Chiapas region, bordering Guatemala exhibits some of the same characteristics as their neighbor’s. Due to its mild nature, Mexican coffees are often used as the base for blends and darker roasts. When you see the Altura designation, you know that it is high-grown.

George Smith Patton, Jr. (also George Smith Patton III) (November 11, 1885 – December 21, 1945) was a United States Army officer best known for his leadership while commanding corps and armies as a general during World War II. He was also well-known for his controversial outspokenness. Patton was commissioned in the U.S. Army upon his graduation from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1909. In 1916-17, he participated in the unsuccessful Pancho Villa Expedition, a US operation which attempted to capture the Mexican revolutionary. In World War I, he was the first officer assigned to the new United States Tank Corps and saw action in France. After the war, he was a strong advocate of armored warfare. In World War II he commanded corps and armies in North Africa, Sicily, and the European Theater of Operations. Near the end of the Sicilian campaign he jeopardized his career by slapping a soldier (whom he regarded as a coward) while the soldier was recuperating from battle fatigue at a hospital. Relieved of his command by Allied Supreme Commander General Dwight D. Eisenhower over the well-publicized incident, Patton was relegated to acting as a decoy in Operation Quicksilver instead of playing a major part in the Normandy Landings and Operation Overlord. However, he was later given command of the U.S. Third Army and ably led it in breaking out of the hedgerows of Normandy and across France. A surprise German offensive at the Battle of the Bulge resulted in American units being surrounded at Bastogne. On December 9, 1945, Patton was severely injured in a road accident. At first the crash seemed minor, the vehicles were hardly damaged, and no one in the truck was hurt. However, Patton was leaning back with trouble breathing. The general had been thrown forward and his head struck a metal part of the partition between the front and back seats, incurring a cervical spinal cord injury. Paralyzed from the neck down, he was rushed to the military hospital in Heidelberg. Patton died of a pulmonary embolism on December 21, 1945.\nOsprey Publications Ltd has released George S. Patton as Number 3 in their Command series. It is a paperback book with 64 pages. Included with the text are color and black and white photographs, color illustrations, color maps and detailed captions. It has a 2010 copyright and the ISBN is 978-1-84603-459-6. The book examines the life and military career of George S. Patton.\nThe text in the book is well written and extremely detailed. I didn’t notice and spelling or grammar errors as I read through the book. Zaloga covers the military career of George S. Patton very well. It is obvious that the author has gone to great lengths to research Patton and provide a very well written and accurate history of him. I covers Patton’s career starting with his enrollment in the military academy and his involvement in the campaign against Pancho Villa, World War I, World War II and his time spent between the wars. It discusses high points in his military career as well as low points and events that caused him personal anguish. I personally would have liked to have seen more written about his time spent between the wars and his interest in early tank warfare. Anyone interested in General George S. Patton will find this book very informative and interesting.\nThere are color and black and white photographs throughout the book. They are nice and clear with a few exceptions. Some of the older period black and white photographs have a blurry look to them. One other fault that I should mention is that some of the photographs have been shrunk down to fit on the page along with the text. Some of the photographs are too small in my opinion to show the detail as well as if they had been larger. However this does not take anything away from the book.\nThe illustrations by illustrator Steve Noon are well done and cover the periods of World War I to World War II.\nThe captions are well written and even though they can be brief at times they are very detailed and explain the accompanying photographs well. I didn’t notice any spelling or grammar errors.\nAll in all I am very impressed with the book. It details the book examines the life and military career of George S. Patton. I would have no hesitation to add other Osprey titles to my personal library nor would I hesitate to recommend this book to others.\nLows: Would have liked to have seen more written about his time spent between the wars and his interest in early tank warfare.
With the new year fast approaching, people are going to need to get new calendars to help them plan their lives. A new local effort shows off the valley's top rides and raises money for a good cause.\n"I was looking at a car calendar one day and I said that would be cool to see one from Drumheller because Drumheller has some cool landmarks and the scenery here is pretty awesome, so I figured I'd give it a shot," explained Stephen Bobra, who is behind the idea.\n"I put it out on Facebook: I said send me a private message with a picture of your car," he elaborated. "I had about 100 to sort through and I just chose 12 ones that were car show ready and I went with it."\nBobra, whose two young children were born with Cystic Fibrosis (CF), chose Cystic Fibrosis Canada to receive all money raised from calendar sales.\n"I figure if it's a success and we raise a lot of money for Cystic Fibrosis, I'll do another one next year and keep going with it," he concluded. "I definitely have a lot of cars to choose from."\nBobra wants to thank local photographer Athena Winchester of Broken Curfew Photography for taking the calendar photos.\nHis calendars are on sale for $20 each at a number of places around Drumheller, including Rod's Automotive in the industrial park, Sunrise Auto and Westergard Motors.

Monument Valley remains one of the best mobile games of last year, and likely ranks among the better titles of all time, in terms of unique design and imaginative gameplay mechanics. The ustwo games debut is getting even better today, thanks to the release of a special, visually updated version of the Ida’s Dream level pack released as part of a Project (RED) charitable promotion last year.\nThe original Ida’s Dream expansion was made available as an in-app purchase, but the new release offers the same levels to all Monument Valley players for free, across all platforms at the same time on June 25. The original version will remain available to those who purchased it, meaning they alone get access to the special red-colored version offered in conjunction with Project (RED), but ustwo’s Director of Games Neil McFarland explained to TechCrunch that they felt everyone should be able to enjoy the full experience of Monument Valley, which includes Ida’s Dream.\nThis seems likely to be the last content update for Monument Valley, with McFarland confirming that as the studio discussed around the time of the original Ida’s Dream release, they’re focusing on future games and upcoming experiences like the virtual reality story adventure experience Land’s End, which is due out later this year. Land’s End will make its debut on Gear VR, and McFarland says that ustwo games has been working closely with Oculus VR to make sure it provides a great movie VR experience.\nAnother game destined for mobile devices, with a more traditional 2D touchscreen-based design, is also already in the works and is due out sometime next year, McFarland told TechCrunch. The company isn’t revealing much about the follow-up yet, but given the success and reception of Monument Valley, it’ll have high expectations to live up to when it does arrive next year.\nAnd in case you’re curious about how it’s performing worldwide, ustwo has also provided TechCrunch with regional sales breakdowns. It’s rare, granular look inside the metrics of one of the top-perfomring App Store releases of 2014.\nThe new, color-altered version of Ida’s Dream will be available as a free update for Monument Valley on iOS, Android, Windows and the Amazon Appstore. The original game still retails for $3.99.
It’s that not-so-joyful time of year for mums when we have to schlep around the shops looking for school uniform. It’s time to weigh up the pros and cons of costs versus quality, money back guarantees versus promises of kid-tested, whatever you can grab versus careful planning with compliant children.\nWe asked our mums what their back to school bugbears are and how brands could ease their shopping worries.\nFinding offers. We know M&S currently have £5 off when you spend £25 on kidswear (so you can get those tights, vests and socks you need for the start of school) and there are deals highlighted on Money Saving Expert. But mums don’t have the time to haul through site after site looking for information. A savvy brand or company would be putting all the back to school offers in one place (even as a competitior price comparision) so we can quickly see where to get the best deals.\nMums want things that last. If your products fall apart in a week then we won’t come and buy from you again, and we’ll tell our mum friends not to buy from you. Most companies have gone some way to dealing with this by offering money back guarantees or saying products are independently tested. As a mum I’d like to know how this testing took place, was it with boys or girls? In a lab or in the playground?\nWhat we do know is when mums find something they like (and that could be either cost driven or quality driven – it depends on the mum) then they stick with it. One mum told us she choose Next because a friend had told her about it (the trusted inner circle) and the quality was good so she has now stuck with it. Another mum chooses Next because they offer slim fit trousers for her tall but slender son. One of our mums, Susan, told us she sticks with Clarks because they last the whole school year. It’s worth considering innovative ways to connect with mums on the ground because that’s where conversations about where to go for uniforms are happening.\nWe’re seeing brands such as Tesco and M&S offer a ‘Your School Uniform’ – schools sign up, allowing parents to purchase school logo items and the school receives a cashback amount. It seems a very smart way to connect with parents and benefit the school. Is there a way you as a brand can push mums to purchase but still offer something additional in return?\nSome mums shop online and some shop instore. Free delivery and easy ordering are a must for online. Instore – the stress points for mums are trying to track down the right size when they are shopping last minute. As a brand how can you work on this? Last minute fast delivery?\nAnd finally to bags. We’ve identified a gap in the market for appropriately sized bags for primary school children – we’re hearing from mums that either they aren’t big enough to hold books or they are so large they threaten to topple over kids. Indepth research and testing would easily overcome this problem and would make those bags really stand out to mums.\nGood luck to all our mums (and dads) as they start the new academic year! If you’d like to better connect with mums and understand what they want then drop us aline.\nReally interesting findings. I normally shop online, but with school uniforms feel like it has to be done in the shop with the kids there so you know if it fits or not. And at this time of year the shops are hot and busy and the kids can be grumpy cos they don't want to be reminded of going back to school.\nI would love it if retailers could work on making school uniform shopping easier and the shops themselves more fun places to be. For example, our local M&S only has one tiny changing room in the children's department and at this time of year that's just not enough.\nThanks for the comment Joanne, life would be much easier if shops offered something to entertain kids with - it doesn't have to be all year round but just for those times when it's all a bit stressful and you need to have the children with you.
I am using the SPC5674FF3MVV3. I do not want to use any external analog inputs, and I do not have 5 volts available. What all is needed to disable the analog in and what do I do with the analog power supplies?\nVDDA is needed to connect to 5V even if eQADC is unused. Unused Analog inputs should be pulled to ground.\nMentioned paragraph says “VDDA can lag other supplies” what means it describes situation VDDA is lower than VDDA. It does not happen when VDDEH=3V and VDDA=5V. Basically VDDA should be always higher than rest of sources (or not to be lower by more than 1V).

These flowers are perfect for gift toppers and easy too! They are less expensive than a store bought bow and you can customize for any occasion! Have fun and let your creativity soar! Post your creations on our Facebook Page!\n1. Fold the tissue paper in half four times. You should end up with a square, but some tissue paper will end up rectangular. It doesn't matter. You want to cut a circle (we aren't going for perfection - don't stress it) and make sure you cut all the away around.\n2. Fold in half again and cut petal shapes (see video).\n3. Open it to see if it is how you wanted it to be. If it is, refold it and take your marker and color just along all of the outer edges, while it is folded.\n4. Fold into quarters and snip off the corner, to give you a hole in the center of the flower pieces.\n6. Put pipe cleaner through bead and twist a small piece underneath.\n7. Feed the pipe cleaner through the flower pedals and scootch the pedals around so they aren't perfectly stacked.\n8. Put a bead of glue around the base of the bead and pour some glitter on the hot glue. Let it cool and shake of excess.\n9. Flip the flower over and run a bead of hot glue where the stem and tissue paper meet and put on glitter. Shake off excess.\n10. When cool, take each layer and separate it and scrunch it up toward the bead.\n11. That's it! Stand back and enjoy your creation!\nThese would be beautiful on top of a gift, instead of a store bought bow. A bouquet of these would be nice at a baby shower. How about centerpieces at a bridal shower? Tissue paper comes in all colors and can be made to match the wedding colors!\nI love comments and Happy Crafting!\nWatching you making your lovely flowers reminds me of being in infants class at school.\nGolf Ball Poodle For Father's Day!

Home › Commentary › Inflection Point: Whither MOOCs ?\nInflection Point: Whither MOOCs ?\nA few years ago, many of us in higher education were both highly excited, but also concerned, about the potential of MOOCs (massively open online courses) to disrupt our long-held models of higher education. The potential of almost free information to thousands of students, simultaneously, had many implications. University administrators across the country were trying to develop a strategy to align with MOOCs or, alternatively, to emphasize other strategies to blunt the likely impact of MOOCs.\nAnd, while one should “never say never” about new technologies, this article suggests that peak MOOC enthusiasm, from about 2012, may have come and gone. Research shows that the problem of many students taking MOOCs but not finishing continues to be an issue. And, more adults who already have earned college degrees are completing MOOCs, compared to other students.\nThe impacts of new technologies, especially in education, are very hard to predict, and are often disappointing. But, this trend with MOOCs aligns with one of my favorite notions, which I first read on economist Brad DeLong’s blog. He argued that the printing press (Gutenberg, 1440) was the real game changer – it made books affordable for the masses. And, for many years now, you could have taught yourself physics, for example, by reading the textbook (free at the library) . But few people can or will do that, and it appears that MOOCs have something of the same problem – focused attention to learning difficult concepts is a somewhat scarce commodity. And, somewhat traditional (or online) university classes with closer teacher/students interactions may have an advantage in sustaining that focus.
The main objective of this part of the syllabus is to learn how to do a good Biu Sau.\nBiu Sau is one of the most effective ways to deal with a hook, hay-maker, or straight punch. It is very practical and flows quickly out from a guard.\nThe following video of the Biu Sau technique show how it can be used to deal with both straight and swinging punches from your opponent. Biu is ideal for punches aimed at the head and neck. Strikes to the lower body should use a different technique to cover.\nYou can perform a Biu Sau and turning punch on the inside of an opponent's hook (or hay-maker) or on the outside of an opponent's straight punch. This makes the Biu Sau and turning punch a very flexible technique.\nThe Biu Sau involves making a "salute" motion towards your opponent's attacking arm. It is necessary to use your Yiu Ma (turning stance) in order to perform the technique correctly. Yiu ma can be seen in the first section of the Chum Kiu (the second hand form), where the hip is used to drive the turn of the whole body. This turning motion will help keep the Biu Sau effective and add power to any counter punch you throw with the Biu Sau.\nYou will be expected to demonstrate the technique against hooks, hay-makers and straight punches. To do well you should throw a simultaneous attack when dealing with swinging punches. Turning and Yiu Ma is also essential to get the technique efficient.
Mangaluru: Ahinda State President Shobha on February 9 demanded the Ullal police to arrest members of the local LGBT group for assaulting three transgenders on February 6 and 7 at Talapady.\nVice President of Parivarthan Charitable Trust Ramya Gowda said, “On February 6, about 10 members barged into the house of transgender Nisha and assaulted three of the transgenders namely Anushree, Shama and Madhura. They stripped them, forced them to wear men’s attire, clicked their photographs and threatened of serious consequences. In this connection, a case was filed in the Ullal police station”.\nAn FIR has been filed against Arundhati, Mouna, Khushi and Krithika under section 143, 147, 148, 448, 504, 506, 323, 324, R/W 149 IPC in the Ullal Police station.
A polished concrete floor is a very popular choice these days. The polished concrete flooring can be made to look like many different types of flooring. It can have patterns and it can be tinted with different colors. The polished floor does not look like the concrete that people are used to. It is a much higher end product and it can serve many different purposes. The best way to get a great polished concrete floor in your home is to turn to a polishing concrete service. These professionals can come in and give you the flooring that you want. Before you choose a service to use it is important to know what to look for and what to expect.\nThe first thing that is needed is to find a good polishing concrete service to use. One of the best ways to do this is to turn to companies that offer both concrete polishing equipment and services. These are companies that will rent the equipment to the homeowner that wants to do this project on their own or will come in and do the work for the homeowner.\nThese businesses have a few advantages over other services. Some of the businesses that offer the services do this as a part of the other services they offer. They may or may not have all of the equipment they need. While the experience of the people that use the equipment will play a role in what the finished product looks like, the equipment and the supplies that are used will also play a vital role.\nIt is also a good idea to understand the process that the polishing concrete service will use. The first step is to inspect the concrete and repair any cracks that are in it. It may also be necessary to level the concrete before starting to polish it. Once the polishing process begins, a series of abrasive materials should be used. The abrasive pads used with the equipment will get progressively smoother until the final polishing is needed. A sealer will be applied to the concrete after it has been polished. If there is color or patterns put into the concrete this should be done before the floor is sealed and finished. The final product will be something that the homeowner can enjoy for many years.
Here are some tools you can employ to keep your browsing to a minimum and your networking and information gathering to a maximum.\nMany companies list their job openings primarily on their corporate websites, a practice that saves them money and keeps the job pool, to a degree, filled by people interested in working there. A posting on a company's website that does not appear on public job boards is appealing to job seekers. Remember though some aggregators simply pull those openings off corporate websites, opening them to a broader audience.\nA company's website is the first place to go when researching specific employers. You may often find vision and mission statements, a history of the organization and names of key supervisors. Large companies typically require job seekers to use their website's online application to be considered for all of their openings.\nThese sites, sometimes called "job boards," are among the most popular ways to find job leads on the Internet. You can use keywords to find jobs based on certain criteria. They help you get more specific results by location, field, industry or job title. One of the most common mistakes that job seekers make is spending too many hours browsing job boards.\nJob expert Peter Weddles came up with a strategy for using job boards that goes like this: 2GP+3N=1GJ. (2GP stands for two general-purpose websites; 3N for three niche or specialized sites and 1GJ for one great job.) General job boards list thousands of jobs from thousands of employers, the drawback being the popularity of these sites can be a disadvantage. For this reason, dedicate more of your attention to niche job boards focusing on openings in specific industries.\nThe Internet is the fastest way to access published information. Newspapers, magazines and trade journals can all be found online. Trade journals contain articles by industry experts, information about networking events, suggestions on industry blogs and jobs. To find a trade journal related to your search, try typing "trade journal directory" into a search engine. Or, go to your public library for help accessing trade journal and professional association databases.\nAlmost every industry has an association with a website full of information on trends, volunteer or professional development opportunities, best practices, industry news and, inevitably, a job board. It may require membership in the organization to get at the really good content and the job board. Most charge annual fees so you'll have to determine whether the fee is worth it.

This post represents the first of two exploring crowdsourcing and crowdfunding.\nI do a lot of thinking about community-building—my whole approach to international social change partnerships involves the strengthening of communities as they go about achieving their mission. But I haven’t thought a lot about crowds. I was aware of Kiva.org, but it was only recently when I saw a list of 30+ such sites that I realized that there is a crowd-related movement afoot.\nLast week I enjoyed a cup of coffee with Cognitive Policy Works founder Joe Brewer, and he thoughtfully shared examples of how crowdfunding is supporting a civic project on which he is working. I nevertheless left the conversation pretty skeptical that crowdfunding would work in cross-cultural partnerships involving collaborative social change given the inherent power dynamic that comes in the crowd “owning” the product that they fund.\nBut every small non-profit person experiences a surge of adrenaline at the thought of a new money source, so I started reading about crowdsourcing and crowdfunding on-line. I am now intrigued. I want to share some of the ideas that I have been thinking about and invite your thoughts in return. Part 1 of “From Crowd to Community” deals with definitions. Part 2 will delve more deeply into how we might apply these definitions within small NGO partnerships.\nTo me, a crowd is not a community. A crowd is a bunch of people gathered together, usually for a purpose, like to see the Christmas lights turned on downtown or to protest the WTO. There is no interconnection between them—no mutual obligation. They just happen to be proximate to one another, much like the rays of a sun connect to the center but not to each other. A crowd left unto itself is not helpful to any organization because it lacks a structure through which to engage them.\nIt is a healthy community that sustains an organization over the long term. Communities are defined by their social nature; members relate to one another through shared resources, shared governance, and shared culture. Sustaining a health community is job one for every small non-profit. Organizations are constantly trying to engage people from various sectors of society in their cause, attracting new community members who will contribute financially and otherwise.\nWhile the terms ‘crowd’ and ‘community’ are used interchangeably by some (see Neil Perry, president of crowdsourcing video company, Poptent), defining their differences is key to understanding how small NGOs might use crowd-concepts in building their communities. It seems to me that societies contain crowds—individuals who gather around critical events or ideas—and these crowds could convert into community members – crowd members that interrelate—in the right circumstances. The $50 million dollar question for most non-profits is how to create the right circumstances.\nThis is where my thoughts go to another term that caught my eye: smart swarm. Scanning the shelves of my local library, I stopped to look at Peter Miller’s The Smart Swarm: How Understanding Flocks, Schools, and Colonies Can Make US Better at Communicating, Decision Making, and Getting Things Done. (A good summary can be found here.) Miller defines a smart swarm as “a group of individuals who respond to one another and to their environment in ways that give them the power, as a group, to cope with uncertainty, complexity, and change.” (p. xvii) As we shift away from traditional hierarchies, we need to redefine relationships and rethink systems. From birds, fish, and insects we can learn critical lessons about self organization, diversity of knowledge, indirect collaboration, and adaptive mimicking, lessons that organizations can use to convert members of a crowd into smart members of our organizational communities.\nThe concepts behind crowdsourcing and funding are not new—social change activists and anti-poverty professionals have tapped their communities for quick-time updates and solution ideas since social change began; non-profit directors use table captains and house parties to provide opportunities for their community members to hook people new to the organization.\nWhat is different is the new dimension that technology places on the exchange between crowd member and fundraising organization and that organization with its international service delivery partner. Crowd-engagement requires a reconsideration of organizational values, modes of communication, and internal capacity to coordinate this new level of activity. More on that in Part 2, coming tomorrow.\nThis entry was posted in communication, grantmakers/funders. Bookmark the permalink.

September is a tricky month for outdoor beer drinking in Virginia. You pray for a break in the heat, for those fall-like temperatures to appear and bring with them the perfect weather for enjoying a brew or two at your favorite festival. “No more warm beer!” you cry. “Bring me fall!” Sadly, more often than not, you have to get real, accept that for some reason it’s still 90 freaking degrees outside, slap on your sunscreen and roll with it. The second annual Old Bust Head Brewing Company Bleu and Brew Beer and Cheese Festival was held this month on, you guessed it, a steamy, sunny September day! Lucky for us we’ve been blessed with some of the best beer coming out of Virginia, making that late summer heat much more bearable when you have a variety of beer styles at your fingertips. And when you pair local cheeses with local beers? The only heat you end up feeling is from that Smoked Gouda Jalapeño cheese bite sizzling in your mouth!\nHaving attended the Blue and Brew festival last year, I can say this year blew last year away, from the beers offered to the cheese pairings to the overall logistics of the day.\nWith nearly 20 breweries in attendance pairing their craft brews with various gourmet cheeses from the Culpeper Cheese Company, the Bleu and Brew Fest was easily one of the best festivals I’ve attended this year. A huge thank you to Old Bust Head Brewing Company for the invitation as well as allowing me and my husband to roll VIP. While it might sound snobby, it’s the only way I’ll attend a beer festival anymore. You get in early, avoiding the crowds. You have direct access to the brewers with time to ask questions about the beer and brewing process, and you usually get to try special, VIP-only beers. In my opinion, the extra coin is always worth it.\nThe great thing about a bunch of Virginia breweries coming together is getting to try a variety of beers in one location with typically the best styles of that brewery being showcased.\nThe available craft brews this year were might tasty with more than a few taking center stage. Last year at Bleu and Brew, I fell in love with a porter from Tin Cannon Brewing Company called Vaughn’s Peanut Butter. This year Tin Cannon did it again with their Punk’Tin Ale, an amber ale perfect for fall. Using 10 pounds of pumpkin in the brewing process, I enjoyed the beer being more pumpkin-like in flavor instead of being overwhelmed by intense spices like cinnamon and clove. Don’t get me wrong, the beer still had a nice spicy aroma and flavor to it, but it was well balanced with the hop profile and had me wishing more pumpkin beers would follow this type of recipe. The last thing I want when drinking a pumpkin beer is to think I opened a jar of cinnamon and guzzled it down. Wait, isn’t the cinnamon challenge a thing kids do these days for fun? Sigh, I’m so old.\nDIPAs were all the rage this year, too — Escutcheon Brewing Co. made the top of our list. Brewed with four different types of west coast hops (Cascade, Columbus, Lemon Drop and Apollo), the Double Hull IPA was light amber in color with lovely citrus notes on the nose and a slightly bitter finish. I personally fell in love with Old Bust Head Brewing Company’s ExtraExtraOrdinary DIPA with nearly 100 pounds of Citra and Simcoe hops combined to create a beer with only 10 IBUs! Juicy tangerine and grapefruit flavors danced on your palate while the Simcoe hops added in a dank and pungent finish. If I could have picked one beer to drink during the entire festival, this DIPA would have been it! Paired with Parrano cheese, a firm and smooth cheese with nutty flavors, the finish of the DIPA was softened a bit while the nutty flavors balanced out the intensity of the Citra and Simcoe hops.\nIf you’re both a beer lover and foodie, make sure you put Old Bust Head’s Bleu and Brew Fest on your list for next year! It’s a great way to kick off the start of fall’s never ending list of beer festivals and gives those food and brew pairing lovers something a little bit different to enjoy. If you’re still hesitant about the whole beer and cheese pairing experiment (as we typically think it’s wine and cheese that go best together), this Beer and Cheese Pairing Cheat Sheet from Serious Eats is a great place to start! Cheers, and happy pairing!

Individual Values (or IVs) are a hidden set of stats that are randomly applied to each Pokemon upon receiving or capturing them. They are part of what makes each Pokemon unique from another. These stats cannot be seen by looking at any stat menu in the game, but they are sometimes roughly calculated by using special calculators around the net. The calculators aren't always accurate but the IVs will be somewhere between 0 and 31 -- 0 being the worst and 31 being the best.\nIn Pokemon X & Y, there's a NPC in the Pokemon Center of Kiloude City that could analyze the IV of your Pokemon, hint his overall, best and worse status.\nIVs will determine how high or low a particular stat can possibly be. A Pokemon's Individual Values are best calculated when you first catch the Pokemon. The more you use a Pokemon in battle, the more Effort Values it will gain, which will alter the calculations. If you can keep track of the EVs, you will be able to accurately calculate the IVs.\nThe Type for the attack Hidden Power is calculated entirely on the IVs of your Pokemon. Hidden Power is a special move that can use one of the eighteen different types of a Pokemon (e.g. Grass, Electric, Dragon, etc). Not only is the type calculated by the IVs but so is the base power of the move up to 60.\nIf you wish to know the Type of your Pokemon's Hidden Power, you need to go to Anistar City and enter the house that is right next to the clothing store.\nIf you have a Pokemon with a good set of IVs in a particular stat, you can pass down those IVs when Breeding. All you need to do is give a special item to the parent of the Pokemon you want to pass down IVs to. The item will pass down the IV of the stat it boosts.\nHowever, if you give two different power items to both parents, the IV will be chosen at random for the offspring.\nCharacteristics shown at each Pokemon's summary screen usually shows the best IV out of all their stats. However, it doesn't tell you exactly how good their best stat is. It's possible their best stat only lands a 9 in the 0-31 IV Scale! Each characteristics will be under a certain IV. For example "Proud of it's Power" is for the Attack stat and "Loves to Eat" is for the HP Stat.
Across the board, President Obama’s approval ratings are low for a president who has been touted as America’s political Messiah. Even so, I’ve wondered how with all the mess the nation is facing how his approval rating could still be in the 40 percent range. The most recent poll has him at around 45 percent.\nHis approval rating among blacks is very high – around 85 percent. That’s to be expected. Although more than 95 percent of blacks voted for him in two national elections, his numbers are down slightly among this core constituency.\nKeep in mind that poll numbers include several factors. One factor is that he’s not being liberal enough.\nThere’s another group that is skewing the numbers higher: Muslims. In the 2012 presidential election “close to 90 percent voted for President Obama.” As a recent poll shows, that number is down slightly, but it’s still very high.\n“President Barack Obama’s approval rating is higher among Muslims than any other religious group, a new poll says.\n“According to a Gallup poll released Friday that tracked responses for the first six months of 2014, 72 percent of Muslims said they approve of the president, compared with just 20 percent who disapprove.\n“Mormons were the least approving religious group, with 18 percent of Mormons approving and 78 percent disapproving of the president. Mormons in the past have ranked as the most conservative major religious group in the U.S.\n“The survey underscores a religious divide when it comes to presidential approval — Obama is more popular among non-Christians and less popular among Christians.\n“Those who classify as ‘Other non-Christian’ gave the president a 59 percent approval rating, while Jewish Americans gave Obama a 55 percent approval rating and atheists or those who subscribe to no religion have a 54 percent approval rating.\nWe need to keep in mind that there is a bottom to his numbers. There is a floor to which Obama’s approval ratings will never drop below. No matter what he does or how bad things get, there will always be people who will support him. There’s no dissuading them.

To be clear, for black medical students, supporting Black Lives Matter and other health equality and social justice initiatives is not a matter of a professional oath. It is a matter of life or death, close or distant — that of a loved one or of a stranger of the same hue and shared struggles.\nWhen I first read that the Northam picture came from a medical school yearbook, I thought about whoever might have been his Black classmates at the time.\nOn Thursday, many of you will gather round a dinner table with your loved ones and give gratitude for your friends, family and good fortune. Many of you will think of the meal associated with the inception of this holiday, be filled with warm fuzzy feelings and gloss over the real history surrounding the relationship between those who supposedly attended the first “Thanksgiving” dinner. After eating a second helping of Grandma’s famous pie, few will be concerned about the side of historical oppression or racist colonization offered with this dinner because well, that isn’t so palatable.\nMy recent psychiatry clerkship inspired me to examine racial relations during third-year rotations. This reflection originated from a physician submitting a particularly disturbing evaluation of me. She wrote: “[The student does not] recognize and address personal limitations or behaviors that might affect their effectiveness as a physician … [The student is] defensive, rigid, intense and intrusive; unable to see nuances in human behavior that is necessary for analyses of the human psyche; lower emotional quotient than peers.” Her response left me with an open-jawed, stuporous gaze. I could not believe that she had made this kind of assessment after interacting with me in only two patient encounters for less than half a day!\nAs an “underrepresented minority” in medicine, my personal experiences of mistreatment while navigating the challenges of pursuing this career are mostly invisible to the rest of society, but I know that they are far from mythical or unique. In fact, my experiences harmonize perfectly with the tales of so many African-American physicians before me and even in the accounts of the students I currently mentor. Everyone asks, “Aren’t things different now for African-Americans?” Yes. But, are they better? Sadly, not exactly.\nDr. Valencia Walker is an Assistant Clinical Professor at the David Geffen School of Medicine UCLA.

Great post by Semil Shah on our move out to California, enjoy!\nI won’t lie, today has been a tough day. I unfortunately never had the opportunity to meet Steve Jobs; but today it feels like I lost a major presence in my life, a mentor. I woke up, and it was clear things were different.For most people outside of the Valley ecosystem, Steve Jobs will be most prominently known for bringing us our Macs, iPods, iPhones and iPads. He is the inventor and innovator behind much that drives our personal lives, our work lives and our social relationships. His legacy will be through Apple, and that alone is remarkable.\nHowever, as I have grown up to “know” Steve Jobs, his legacy is so very different. Sure, much of the way I consume information is through his machinations, and many of the devices I use rest on his vision for the way we should interact with the world. But, as he would best put it, those are transient, those will change.\nWhat really resonates about Steve Jobs was not what he created, but what his creations represented. He believed that what he built would (not could) change the world; and through hard work and imagination, he did just that. For a generation looking for a figure to inspire, he provided a real beacon of hope; a hope that our visions don’t have to be an illusion, they can become reality. And in our current society, where forward thinkers are deemed crazy and visionaries are met by cynics and naysayers, he reminded us that even though change is often times met with resistance, we can always accomplish the unthinkable…we just need a little imagination. It very rare that a man can think truly differently, but his work inspired us to all do the same.\nIn what I believe to be one of the best commencement speeches ever delivered, Jobs addressed Stanford’s 2005 graduating class and spoke to 3 key themes: 1) trust your instincts, 2) failure can be your greatest weapon, and 3) use death as a motivator to be great each and every day.\nEvery graduation speech has similar themes, but what made his speech so beautiful was the way his words coupled with his life’s story were able to liberate a generation. We now have a generation of thinkers and do’ers across all industries, who not only try to disrupt the old guard, but also strive tirelessly to create a positive impact, to change the world. He challenged us to be different and unlock genius; he led by example.I’ve unfortunately never had the opportunity to meet Steve Jobs. But as I’ve grown up, his youthful optimism, his passion and drive have all been a guide-post. I have a firm belief that my instinct, my energy and my youthfulness are my greatest assets; and through his “mentorship”, he has given me the confidence to use these assets to accomplish my dreams, to make a difference. He liberated me. He has liberated a generation. And that is what makes him truly inspirational.\nStay Hungry. Stay Foolish. Thank you Steve, RIP.\nLooking Forward: Why I’m Excited About 2011?\nWe have officially begun 2011, and rightfully so, with much optimism. As I documented previously, 2010 was an extremely exciting year for both entrepreneurs and investors, and we are now entering a new year with an extreme tailwind at our back. With innovations in flash sales, location-based services, internet television and the tablet, the table is now set for an even bigger, and potentially more disruptive year.\nThe merger of social and ecommerce. The two most popular trends in the consumer internet world are merging at a fast pace. The emergence of social as a readily acceptable form of social discovery is not only allowing people to find new things tailored to their interests, but also is allowing retailers and advertisers to target and find more valuable customers with less effort. As commerce online and through mobile devices increases, it is inevitable that social will be used to customize shopping experiences. Currently, there are many different niche sites focused on social commerce discovery; this year, however, I believe we are ready to see a big player emerge as a platform to form social shopping identities. Once these profiles become easily accessible and indexable, social shopping and targeting will implicitly begin to replicate offline activity. That is exciting!\nThe saturation of the coupon and the emergence of loyalty. Okay, so maybe that is an exaggeration, coupons will never become saturated. However, now that Groupon (and its competitors) have given local retailers a new medium in which to effectively sell leftover inventory and bring new customers to the door, the next step will be to help merchants retain loyal customers. Current loyalty programs are ineffective, decentralized and hard to redeem. I believe given the effectiveness of group sales to promote new expenditure, retailers will more readily look to the startup community to offer more effective loyalty offerings. Shopkick, Offermatic and CheckPoints represent a new breed of deal platforms; however, I believe these only begin to touch the tip of the iceberg. Once entrepreneurs realize the amount of dollars retailers (especially the big national brands) are willing to spend to retain loyalty customers, things are bound to heat up very quickly.\nForgive my enthusiasm, but as you can tell, there is a lot to be excited about in the upcoming year. After last year’s successes, we are now on the precipice of even greater innovation and disruption. Disruption, however, does not come about without hard work; so now that everyone has returned from holiday after some fine Christmas Ale, it is time to innovate! Seasons Greetings and good luck to all in the new year!

Aggression key Team director Ravi Shastri was confident India will play aggressively. "We’ll stick to our guns. We will play the way we have decided, like I said before the first Test. At the end of the day, the proof of the pudding is in the eating." Victory will help Kohli stamp his identity on this young team, having led in only five Tests, although there will also be pressure to deliver. Many past India captains have settled down on home turf, and thus starting with a series win in Sri Lanka will be big. Much like how the 1993 home series against England saw the emergence of Anil Kumble as a new force, Ashwin has made all the difference here. It can develop into a straight contest with left-arm Rangana Herath, who took 14 wickets when Sri Lanka beat Pakistan last year. Shastri said the captaincy change came at the right time. "It was a good decision (Dhoni stepping down) because it was clear in everyone’s mind, across the media, that this is your future captain, and let him captain in that last Test match in Australia so that all speculation is put to rest. The obvious choice was Virat, but by announcing his retirement, Dhoni made it clear 'I believe this guy is ready and he needs a run'." "Each captain has his style. You can see with Virat, he is pretty much in your face. He will play to win. And he will want to be positive all the time. There will be intent in anything he does."\nSamsung teased a new tablet at IFA - is it the rumored 18-incher?

This is just an update. I’ve been working pretty hard at the new blogs to get some translating done. I’ve updated the community page and now for the main page! Right now I’m just messing around a bit, but that’s fine too! Chuckle. If a person can’t have fun then something is wrong. I don’t have any money so this is free entertainment for me. I can do things that I love without spending money on them.\nWell Anarchist World has been online for a little over four months now. What do you all think? Remember, its ok to write a comment after each post! This is not intended to be a one way street! I know that I am surprised at the twists and turns it has taken. When I began the site I never dreamed it would become the monster it has become. I simply thought it would be a showcase for some of my pending translations.\nInstead I’ve found myself pouring my heart and soul into this for entirely different reasons. There is an ideological war going on in our world and depending upon which way it goes our lives will be permanently changed.\nBasically there are three camps in this ideological conflict.\nOne camp is those that would like to rule this world through fear, terror and military warfare. They would like to enslave the other 99% and that doesn’t set well with me at all. Life is about freedom, freedom for all life forms, including humanity.\nThe second camp is almost worse than the first. They want to kill all life on this planet so they can go to heaven. They don’t want to be here and they believe the only way they can leave is by wiping out the entire thing so it can start over! The byword of these people is, “We are all one! We are all part of the light and someday we will all return to source!” Well that’s a nice thought, but I don’t think turning into light through a nuclear explosion is really the right thing to do.\nThe third camp is the one that I belong to. In general life is the most sacred thing that has ever existed anywhere. Gaia, mother earth, has developed an ecosystem that supports all kinds of life in a symbiotic and balanced way. This is an entirely different kind of unity. Our world is collectively created and collectively maintained. We need the plants to furnish us with oxygen and they need us to furnish them with carbon dioxide. That is only a small example of the balance Gaia provides. This balance is maintained through the circulation of a vital life force energy occultists have termed “the black current” because it is black, not because it is evil. It belongs to the non-physical plane closest to the physical earth itself.\nAnarchist World has become a meeting place for those that are attracted to this energy source and to working with it. At this time the need is so great that it has been more important to draw more energy and projects in to the site than it has been to finish them. Now it is time to move forward at an easy pace and keep the whole thing moving along. We are going to win this ideological war and bring some sanity and some magick back into this world, or rather, into the newly created world! Welcome to the new age!\nSo, check out the blogs! Are you attracted to the energy? Do you find good or do you find evil? If you find good, then this is your home! If you find evil, then look in the mirror.
Well folks, for the first time ever, here is a look (below center) at the cover that Mick didn't want you to see. To the right is the cover that all Beggars Banquet subscribers eventually got. And to the left is the advertisement the Stones inserted into every copy of their 1983 "Undercover" album. As you can see, it's the exact same photo that Mick later said I couldn't use. He was fine with a million people seeing it in 1983, but not with anyone seeing it in 1984. Changing one's mind is a rock star's prerogative.
Thank you for getting involved in the Aquafresh Coffeehouse forum on teething and first teeth. We know it can be a particularly trying period for you and your little one and so, as promised, I have endeavoured to answer as many of your questions below as possible.\nThe most frequently asked questions referred to how and when teething first occurs and what you should do when that first tooth makes an appearance.\nYour baby will start teething around six months – however, this can vary enormously so please don’t panic if your baby’s teeth come through a little later (or earlier!).\nThe first sign to look out for is swollen gums, dribbling, and your baby putting their fingers in their mouth more frequently. They may also be feeling generally quite grotty.\nTeething can be painful for your little one and there are a variety of different methods to help ease their discomfort. Remember that different things work for different babies.\nA cool teething ring can help – Aquafresh has launched a new one that has been created alongside paediatric dentists and comes in two colours. Stick it in the fridge to cool and it can then be comforting for your little one. Healthy snacks such as chopped vegetable sticks that have been cooled in the fridge can also be good for soothing gums. Plenty of cuddles and distraction techniques are great to take your baby’s mind off teething too! If these techniques don’t seem to work, and your child is still in pain and has a temperature, then visit your GP.\nBut remember – it will pass!\nThe second most popular question was about brushing your baby’s first teeth and when they should first visit the dentist.\nThe best time to start brushing teeth is as soon as they appear in your child’s mouth – then these good habits should last.\nIf you are worried to start with, use a clean muslin cloth to clean their teeth and gums. Otherwise use a small baby toothbrush and a milk teeth toothpaste – apply a smear to begin with so your baby gets used to the taste.\nTooth brushing can be a strange sensation to start with so I think it’s good to sit your baby on your lap, supporting their head, and brush gently in circular motions on the teeth and gums. You could give you baby another toothbrush to play with as a distraction!\nAs your child grows and their teeth develop, work through the stages of toothpaste and toothbrushes – but only use a smear of toothpaste each time. All children will need to be supervised during the tooth brushing routine until they are about six or seven years old.\nIn terms of when to visit the dentist, I like to see children from about the age of 18 months. It’s good for them to become familiar with the look, feel and smell of the dentist’s. It’s important you never pass on any fears you may have about going to the dentist; just treat it as a normal regular visit, like going to the supermarket, so your child feels as comfortable as possible.\nSome of you asked about flossing too. I would recommend starting to introduce dental floss from around the age of six to seven years old, but take advice from your own dentist who will show you and your child exactly what to do. Always supervise your child until you’re sure they can do it properly themselves.\n1) The most important thing to remember is the teething symptoms will stop – so enjoy and treasure the amazing experience of watching your child’s teeth develop and grow.\n2) Always make tooth brushing time fun and enjoyable – try not to get stressed about it.\n3) Remember, it is not the amount of sugar that causes tooth decay but the frequency your child eats very sugary foods – so limit it to mealtimes – with healthy snacks in between.\n4) Stick to milk and water and, for as long as you can, avoid fizzy drinks – children are not born with a sweet tooth!\n5) Record every moment in your children’s development and treasure it!\nTina Tanna BDS D(GDP)UK practising Dentist in Chertsey, Surrey.\nThis entry was posted in Babies, Toddlers and tagged Aquafresh, brushing teeth, guest post, teething.

More than 100 people packed a public meeting last night to speak against rules that would open bobcat hunting and kill raccoons and coyotes.\nMore than 100 people packed the seats at a public hearing Thursday night that carried on for more than three hours, largely to implore state officials to stop what many attendees called the "senseless murder" of "innocent animals."\nThe animals in question: bobcats, coyotes, raccoons and opossums.\nThe loud and clear message — meant for both the state's Department of Natural Resources and its Natural Resources Commission — was delivered in opposition to two rules being proposed by the department.\nThe first would create a hunting and trapping season for bobcats, Indiana's only native wild cat and a once endangered species in the state. The second would require animal control workers to kill any coyotes, raccoons or opossums that they catch, rather than being able to catch and release them.\nThis was the second and final public meeting to discuss the rules — which the DNR first introduced to the Commission in September — before the public comment period on the proposals closes today. Including comments submitted via the internet and mail, the DNR has received more than 2,300 comments on the two proposals.\nMany spoke to science, questioning what they say is a lack thereof to justify either of these proposed changes. Others called on morals and what they feel is the responsibility to protect Indiana's wildlife.\n"The DNR should be tasked with protecting our natural resources, not depleting them," said a woman who has called Indiana home for six decades. "Somewhere this needs to stop."\nStill, some expressed support for the rules and what they claim is their potential to help manage wildlife populations and keep them healthy.\n"There is nothing in the proposed rule change that I would oppose to," said a gentleman who added that he was not ashamed to call himself a hunter, fisher and fur trapper. "The cruelest thing we can do for wildlife is not manage it."\nRegardless of which camp Hoosier's fall into, one thing is clear: These two rules and four species have struck a chord.\nThe DNR first introduced and recommended the bobcat and animal control rules, part of a larger rule package, to the Commission in Sept. 2017. The NRC is an independent board responsible for addressing issues pertaining to the department, such as the adoption of rules.\nThough last night's meeting was an NRC hearing, no Commission members attended — a fact with which many in the audience expressed frustration, citing the inability to ask questions of officials and have a dialogue about the rules.\nSeats were scarce as residents from across the state crowded into the room at Mounds State Park in Anderson, Ind.\nMany were from Marion, Hamilton and Madison counties. Some, however, traveled more than two hours to attend — "we feel it's that important," one said. That same sentiment was shared by a handful of folks who said their opposition to the rules motivated them to attend their very first public meeting.\nAll who attended — including lifelong residents, wildlife rehabilitators, wildlife scientists, photographers, hunters, farmers and representatives from environmental and wildlife organizations — were given the opportunity to speak.\nAt least 60 spoke against the proposal that would require animal control workers to kill captured raccoons, coyotes and opossums. Nearly 50 were in opposition to opening a season on bobcats. About 10 people in the audience, representing the hunting and trapping community, did speak in favor of that rule.\nA separate public hearing last Wednesday in Mitchell, Ind., drew similar crowds, according to Amanda Wuestefeld, assistant director for DNR's Division of Fish & Wildlife Service.\nThat meeting was heavier on the topic of bobcats, she said, and had a much larger representation of hunters and trappers. Roughly 60 percent were in favor of a season, Wuestefeld added, with the other 40 percent opposed.\nThe public comment period closes Friday at midnight. After that, DNR staff will go through and provide responses to questions and concerns raised, all of which will be made public. The agency will then make any adjustments to the rules, if it feels necessary, and recommendations to the Commission.\nThe Commission plans to vote on the rules at its May 15 meeting.\nDozens of individuals at last night's meeting wore sticker's demanding the NRC "Vote No" on the bobcat hunting rule.\nThose counties would be in southern Indiana, according to DNR furbearer biologist Geriann Albers, where bobcat populations are strongest. Central and northern counties would be excluded, she said, as the population is still building its numbers in those regions.\n"We believe very strongly in preserving species like bobcats for all citizens of Indiana to be able to appreciate, but we believe that limited and regulated harvest can be a part of that without jeopardizing the population as a whole," Albers told IndyStar. "We believe the info we have supports that bobcats are abundant in southern Indiana."\nBobcats were removed from Indiana's endangered species list in 2005 and their population has expanded in recent years, according to DNR officials — which the agency touts as a big conservation win.\nThe agency cites increased incidental kills of bobcats by car collisions and additional reports by hunters and trappers of sightings of the feline that is not much larger than the average house cat.\nCharlie Masheck, who owns Hoosier Trapper Supply in Johnson County, said his store frequently hears of trappers accidentally catching bobcats or that they were spotted on a hunters' trail camera.\n"We feel there is an adequate population for certainly a sustainable harvest, so we are here to support that," he told IndyStar, saying they believe in the DNR's science and numbers. "What we do is not for everybody and the last thing we would want to see is for a population to be decimated."\nStill, many question the size of that population. Several lifelong Hoosiers who have lived in the state for decades and are frequently in the woods said they have never seen a bobcat.\nRepresentatives with the Indiana Wildlife Federation, U.S. Humane Society, Hoosier Environmental Council and the Sierra Club's Hoosier Chapter all argued that greater study needs to be done to better understand the bobcats numbers.\nThat sentiment was also reflected by Jackie Powers, a recently retired wildlife scientist who has studied predatory ecology.\n"I am disturbed and I feel that the DNR is prematurely opening a season on the recently recovering bobcat with a lack of data," she said, also raising concerns about allowing the use of traps and dogs to catch and hunt bobcats. "If we have to allow sportsman to get their jollies, we should give the bobcat the best chance."\nMany said they were not against hunting when done for the meat and food, but did not support the hunting of bobcats for the thrill or the trade of pelts. Hunters countered that there is little money to be made from the furs, and their taking of bobcats would primarily be to help manage the species.\nTim Maloney with the HEC was quick to point out the money that can be made from eco-tourism or "non-consumptive" uses of wildlife and bobcats — such as photography and individuals hiking and traveling to see them.\nThe Indiana Wildlife Federation also worried that removing an apex predator like the bobcat could weaken a key part of the food chain that helps control other populations such as deer.\n"We believe in ethical and sustainable hunting for control purposes when there is strong scientific data to do so," a representative with the organization said. "But we don't find a compelling reason to open a season in Indiana."\nThe majority of those in attendance also said they could not find a compelling reason to require animal control workers to kill raccoons, coyotes or opossums.\nThose professionals currently have the option to release those species — with various regulations and limitations governing a release — and that decision is left to their judgment. They are allowed to release the wildlife within the county they captured it and on land where they have permission. Animal control operators also already put down wildlife that are diseased or severely injured.\nAlbers with the DNR, however, said that relocating these animals or "nuisance wildlife" doesn't necessarily solve the nuisance problem.\n"We had concerns that these animals that were causing problems were just being moved to somewhere else," she said, "and then causing someone else problems."\nThe furbearer biologist could not say exactly how many animals DNR expected would be killed each year under this proposed change, but the agency wrote that it did not believe this required euthanasia would not harm the populations.\nAnimal control worker Kirk Neuner said some animals can also be stressed in a new location after being released without knowing where to find food or water. The Admiral Wildlife Services owner said he believes this rule would be the most humane treatment for the raccoons, coyotes and opossums.\nNeuner is one of roughly 450 licensed nuisance wildlife operators in the state, the majority of which already kill most animals that they catch.\nMany at the meeting said that they want the choice to keep the animal alive.\n"The first question people ask me is if I kill the animal," said Mike Meservy, the owner of Advanced Pest Control. "And when I tell them I don't, then they ask me how much. That's the second question; that should tell you something."\n"I want to invite the Natural Resources Commission, personally, to come and kill a baby raccoon," the animal control professional added. "I want you to know what it feels like."\nMany rehabilitators and rescue shelters said they are appalled by this proposal. They worry it could make the populations of these animals unstable and then cause other populations — like those of skunks or ticks, which opossums eat — to boom.\nInstead, they argue, the DNR should be working with individuals to educate them and provide guidelines on how best to keep these critters from getting inside their homes or how to remove them in a non-invasive way.\nIf this rule is passed, Meservy said he likely would go out of business rather than be forced to kill animals. A local animal protection league said that they would not follow the mandate to euthanize or ask workers to go against their mandate to do so.\nOutside of the official comment, some Hoosiers started a petition two weeks ago on Change.org to "Stop the Indiana Department of Natural Resources From Euthanizing Raccoons, Opossums, and Coyotes."\nThat petition, addressed to the state agency and Gov. Eric Holcomb, currently has more than 4,000 signatures and continues to grow toward its goal of 5,000.\nErin Huang, Indiana state director of the Humane Society of the United States, said she believes such a public response and engagement sends a clear message — and hopes that it is heard and taken seriously.\n"Consider the will of the Hoosiers," she said.

Do you need a speaker for your event, conference, radio show, TV show or networking meeting?\nI spend my days helping individuals to improve their lives in a number of ways. It is something I find incredibly rewarding and am very passionate about. I can offer a unique, motivational and inspirational talk for your group.\nHaving worked as a hypnotherapist and NLP Practitioner, helping people on a one to one basis, for some time, I really saw the benefit that a few simple changes in mind set can make to a person. As my reputation as a successful hypnotherapist grew, I began being asked more and more to give talks to networking meetings, training groups and on radio interviews. It’s wonderful to be able to connect with and inspire so many people at once.\nKatie Little, A Level Sociology Teacher, Avonbourne School.\n“Catherine Swatridge spoke to my Ladies Forum Group earlier this year about Hypnotherapy and its uses in modern medicine and was very well received. She spoke clearly and concisely about her work as a hypnotherapist which was extremely interesting.
500 million hours of video are watched each day across all social media platforms (lilachbulock). Thats a lot of videos being watched! People love watching social media videos so much that by 2019, internet video traffic will account for 80% of all consumer internet traffic (Cisco). Videos are increasingly having more impact in our daily lives and it’s more important than ever before to incorporate creating videos into your content marketing strategy.\n83% of consumers would consider sharing video content with their friends (Hubspot). Because people love to share video it’s possible to get a significant amount of reach. The ease of watching, commenting, and sharing all on one platform means more engagement.\nSocial Media marketers know that by incorporating video marketing into a small businesses social media strategy, their clients will get great results.\nInclude a call to action in one or both your video and post copy.\nConsider live streaming on one of your social media accounts such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube. Live streaming gets the best organic (free) engagement.\nKeep your video short and sweet. Keeping your short videos on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram to no more than 1 minute is ideal. It’s also less work for you to create one video that can be shared on all your social networks.\nCreate square videos rather than the standard 16:9 ratio videos. Square videos can be used on every social media platform except when uploading a YouTube video. There are several ways to create square videos. You can either do it through several video editing apps such as Videoshop, Clips or Animoto. You can also create them with standard video editing software such as Camtasia (by TechSmith).\nConsidering 85% of those who view video on social media actually turn the sound on, you want to make sure your videos are watchable without sound. Use closed captions when possible and don’t just be a talking head. Consider the environment you are filming your video in. Make it look interesting enough to encourage them to turn the sound on.\nBottom line, there is an incredible amount of noise on social media and there are so many other competing brands vying for your ideal clients attention. Finding ways to build authenticity and authority are key to winning potential clients and sets your brand apart from theirs. Creating content that is informative and educational such as a social media video could really help to build your brands authority through an authentic approach. Potential customers can visually see you and experience you through your video.\nAdding video to your content strategy enables you to quickly and easily explain anything and everything. Verbally explaining something makes it easier for people to understand what it is you’re talking about.\nTo build authority you have to communicate that you know your industry and know what you’re talking about. By using videos you can share your industry knowledge and establish yourself as the expert.\nBehind the Scenes – If you have something cool to highlight, show it off.\nNew Product or Service Teaser – This is a perfect way to drum up excitement.\nBusinesses have only a few seconds to get users attention and their engagement. One of the easiest and most effective ways to hook people in is with a video.\nVideos are preferred by search engines, and are showed at the top of a search engine results page. When you use videos you rank higher in Google and you draw in more organic traffic. In fact, videos bring in the most organic traffic with a 157% increase from search engines (Storyme). This means a lot of conversions and clicks for your business.\nIncrease Conversions: Incorporate these tips into your video strategy.\nMake your video short and immediately entertaining. Viewers will lose interest if it’s too long and boring. Ideally keep your video to no more than 90 seconds.\nFind a way to be authentic and instill trust in your viewer. Stay away from creating videos that are overly salesy.\nTry video ads. They are a perfect way to get more eyeballs on your content, target your ideal customer and refer business to your website.\nWhen recording your video be sure you have good lighting, sound quality and incorporate your branding throughout the video.\nWondering how you can connect with your ideal customer? Video is a perfect way to do this.\nUsing video in your social media content strategy allows your brands personality to show, thus allowing customers to see your more authentic side. Customers can connect more easily with your brand, and only the interested ones will continue to watch and engage.\nBrands that really know themselves do this well and do their potential customers a favor by offering up content that connects with them. The company Patagonia is a perfect example of a company who connects with their ideal customer through their mission statement, “We’re in business to save our home planet.” Their mission of being environmentally conscious connects with consumers who feel the same way.\nHow much you want to bet they use video in their social media marketing strategy?\nThe use of social media video content is not going away anytime soon and its impact on social media continues to grow. It’s easier now than ever before to create good quality videos. If you have a smartphone then you have a video camera and access to many affordable apps (if not free) to help you capture, create and edit your video. For those who want to get a little more technical, then consider purchasing software for your computer. Don’t wait…get in the game and start using video in your social media strategy today.

Much is going on right now in the debt settlement industry that is causing many to rethink how they are doing business. Federal and state legislative and regulatory activity related to debt settlement has seemingly reached record levels, consumer credit and debt have increased substantially, and consumers' ability to service that debt is strained. At the same time, Congress, the Obama Administration, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), state Attorneys General and others are taking a more proactive interest in the workings of the industry and in protecting consumers from false and misleading advertising related to debt relief services. In addition, the FTC has informed Congress that it expects to complete its debt relief services rulemaking by mid-summer. And despite some significant changes in state laws, the industry continues to wrestle with legislatures now considering new and more expansive regulations to cover the industry. On top of all that, the Congress is on the brink of final consideration of broad financial reforms including proposals to create a new federal regulator for consumer financial products and services including debt settlement and broadly expanding the authority of the FTC.\nThe legal landscape facing the industry is rapidly-shifting. Hear from two of the industry’s leading attorneys about what this all means for your company, and what you can do to proactively shape your own future.
Our main goal for 2016 was increasing our level of grantmaking, and we focused on this rather than hiring. The team expanded little, but we recommended over $100 million worth of grants in 2016, compared to under $20 million in 2015. We briefly summarize our activity in each of the major causes we worked on below. In most cases, it is too early to see impact from our work, but in a couple of cases there appears to be some early impact.\nWe had three Scientific Advisors - Chris Somerville, Heather Youngs and Daniel Martin-Alarcon - start in mid-2016. (Chris was previously consulting on a part-time basis.) We still have a good deal of work to do before setting focus areas within scientific research.\nWe did not complete the spinoff of the Open Philanthropy Project into a separate organization; this turned out to be more time-consuming than anticipated. We anticipate completing it by mid-2017.\nWe expect to be able to continue recommending grants at a pace of $100+ million per year (though with considerable year-to-year variation) and maintaining current quality (i.e. grants that we consider reasonably well-investigated and good expected value for money). We now have a much more tangible sense of what the day-to-day key questions and operational challenges are for giving in this range. Many new questions and challenges have come up.\nAt this stage, we now see greater importance for a number of issues including the question of how much grantmaking to aim for in each of our focus areas and how to decide when a grant is worth making, our approach to public communications, and how to make our grantmaking process more streamlined and systematic. In particular, we believe that we will gain a lot from sharpening our thinking on several points related to worldview diversification - and the relative appeal of different worldviews - before increasing our annual giving level much more.\nFor 2017, we don't plan to focus on scaling up our program staff or grantmaking. Instead, we expect to maintain them at roughly the same level while making significant progress on the items listed in the previous point.\nLast year's post laid out plans for 2016. This section follows the order of that section, and quotes from it to allow comparisons between our plans and our progress.\nPotential risks from advanced artificial intelligence will be a major priority for 2016 ... Daniel Dewey will work on it full-time, and Nick Beckstead and I [Holden] will both put significant time into it as well. Some other staff will be contributing smaller amounts of time as appropriate ... We won’t necessarily recommend a large amount of grantmaking in this cause, though it’s possible that we will. Our main goal is to lay the groundwork for more grantmaking in the future.\nWe recommended approximately $11 million in grants, including $5.56 million to start UC Berkeley's Center for Human-Compatible AI, $2.4 million to Montreal Institute for Learning Algorithms (writeup forthcoming), approximately $2 million to the Future of Humanity Institute, and $500,000 to Machine Intelligence Research Institute. Our grantmaking has focused on (a) creating more spaces for work on technical safety research in academia; (b) "shovel-ready" grants to existing organizations. We also put substantial effort into writing up our views on the topic, making connections with people in relevant fields, and developing a general grant process that we'll be using for more grants on technical safety work. We feel much better informed about this area, with a clearer sense of our future potential activities, than we did a year ago. We still consider it a highly promising philanthropic area, and we plan to continue allocating partial time from several staff (especially Nick Beckstead, Helen Toner and myself) as well as all of Daniel Dewey's time. Working this way in 2016 did not require cutting or suspending any other top-priority work, and we don't expect it to in 2017 either. We see this as a very long-time-horizon cause, and we don't think we can point to tangible impact of our work yet.\nWe hope to recommend at least $10 million worth of grants in the area of biosecurity in the next year. A full-time Program Officer will be starting work in this area soon.\nWith Jaime Yassif as our new Program Officer who started in mid-2016, we've recommended a bit over $21 million in grants in this area. $16 million of that was for the Center for Health Security; other major grants included $1.8 million for the Blue Ribbon Study Panel on Biodefense and $2.7 million for the Emerging Leaders in Biosecurity Initiative. We focused initially on "shovel-ready" grants to organizations that relevant staff had pre-existing knowledge of. We then spent some time setting priorities more systematically. In the near term our top three priorities will be: (1) risk assessment; (2) managing the risks posed by advances in biotechnology, its global spread and decreasing barriers to access; and (3) building capacity for independent policy research and advocacy. In the coming year we plan to refine our strategic priorities and set longer term goals for the program. Most of our grantmaking in this cause was done after mid-year and has aimed to build capacity for key institutions; we don't think we can point to tangible impact of this work yet.\nWe hope to recommend at least $10 million worth of grants in each of criminal justice reform and farm animal welfare. We have cause-specific staffers leading our work in both areas.\nWe recommended about $20 million worth of Criminal Justice Reform grants in 2016. Priorities include sentencing reform (including $3 million for the Alliance for Safety and Justice), organizing (including Faith in Texas, Mijente and The Ordinary People Society), prosecutorial accountability and reform (such as The Accountable Justice Project), and piloting and promoting alternatives to incarceration (such as restorative justice). We expect to publish significantly more content on this topic in the coming months. We've seen several cases where our grants may have had an impact, and will likely write more about some of these in the future (while some are best not to share publicly). So far, we believe the most significant case is that of a recent bill signed in Illinois that our grantee, the Alliance for Safety and Justice, estimates will result in approximately a 3000-person reduction in the prison population (we plan to discuss this in more detail in a future post). It is our understanding that ASJ developed the strategy for the bill, and worked very closely with the bill's champion Jehan Gordon-Booth, to cover all bases necessary in the state to get it passed. It passed with strong bipartisan majority and support from key law enforcement associations. Our grant to ASJ constituted 54% of its income in 2016; we believe this grant substantially increased the scope of ASJ's work, and that the work ASJ did in Illinois is among the work that would have been unlikely to occur without our support.\nAs quoted above, last year we wrote that we hoped to recommend at least $10 million worth of grants in this area. We recommended about $15 million worth of grants in 2016 (not including an additional $2.5 million we recommended in 2015). This included about $3 million each to Mercy for Animals (grants here, here and here) and The Humane League (here, here, and here). Our main focus was on corporate campaigns for better treatment of both layer and broiler chickens, both in the U.S. and abroad. Our grantees have now secured cage-free pledges from all of the top 25 US grocers, foodservice companies, and food manufacturers, and 16 of the top 20 fast food chains, which will benefit >250M hens annually once implemented. They have also secured global cage-free pledges from the world’s two largest foodservice companies, the world’s largest discount grocery chain, and several of the world’s largest hotel chains, and regional cage-free pledges from Latin America’s largest fast food operators and France and Britain’s largest grocers. And they have secured commitments from the largest US foodservice operators and several fast food chains to reduce the suffering of >200M broiler chickens annually. We also supported work on fish welfare, work on promoting animal product alternatives, and nascent work to build stronger farm animal welfare organizations in China and India. We view these as long-term efforts and don’t expect to see tangible progress from these grants soon.\nexploring funding opportunities around a cluster of science and technology policy issues, such as policy around emerging technologies (potentially including advanced artificial intelligence) and other topics related to science policy and infrastructure.\ninvestigating a set of funding opportunities in macroeconomic stabilization policy.\nmaintaining or expanding upon our grants in immigration policy and land use reform.\nI’d guess that his work (aside from supporting Chloe and Lewis) will result in about $10 million worth of grant recommendations in 2016, but with high uncertainty.\nAlexander spent less time on the above priorities than anticipated, instead focusing on supporting Chloe and Lewis, helping Open Philanthropy move toward spinning out as an independent organization, and working with the science team on grants around the use of gene drives in malaria control (discussed more below). We recommended about $2 million in grants to think tanks to work on macroeconomic stabilization policy (grant writeups here, here, here, here and here), as well as a renewal for Fed Up (writeup forthcoming). We also recommended $1-2 million for immigration policy and land use reform. We mostly think it is too early to see especially clear impact from these grants. We plan to lower the priority of new grantmaking (as opposed to renewals for existing grantees) in macroeconomic stabilization policy, immigration policy and land use reform this year. We've made a relatively small number of grants in these causes, and this is related to the fact that Alexander's attention has been divided between multiple priorities. (We've also updated in favor of the "expert" model of philanthropy described in this blog post.) For now, we anticipate mostly keeping our work in these areas in “maintenance mode,” while Alexander works on some other priorities (more below).\nWe still have a substantial amount of work to do before we’ll be ready to set focus areas within scientific research. We don’t plan to set a particular goal for 2016, because (a) we are allocating senior generalist time to potential risks from advanced artificial intelligence; and (b) we think time spent on scientific research will be much more productive after our scientific advisors come on board.\nRecommended a large grant for work on gene drives that might reduce malarial burdens (main writeup forthcoming; one grant is written up here).\nReviewed over 100 grant proposals that were submitted to the NIH's Transformative Research Award Program and not funded, and we plan to recommending funding for some. We see this as a way of getting a very broad view of what sort of ambitious and unfunded ideas are out there in the life sciences.\nThere is a strong possibility that we will make grants aimed at helping grow the effective altruist community in 2016. Nick Beckstead, who has strong connections and context in this community, would lead this work.\nWe recommended about $1 million to Founders' Pledge, and $1.4 million for SPARC and Center for Applied Rationality. We also made recommendations for Machine Intelligence Research Institute and Future of Humanity Institute (writeup forthcoming), though we've classified these as falling under potential risks from advanced AI rather than under effective altruism. We are hoping to recommend grants for 80,000 Hours and Centre for Effective Altruism soon. At that point we believe we will have covered most of the major opportunities in this area, but we will continue to keep an eye out. We expect to have substantive updates on these organizations' progress and the impact of our funds within about a year, but we don't at the moment.\nAs discussed above, we have significantly better capacity - and context - for evaluating potential grants than we’ve had in the past. As such, we are making a moderate effort to identify potential grants that don’t fit neatly into an existing focus area but are highly “shovel-ready” (in the sense that we can identify a specific potential grantee) and appear strong overall based on the knowledge we’ve picked up in the course of our many cause investigations and discussions. We don’t expect to make a large number of these grants, but we expect to make some.\nWe recommended about $5.5 million in grants on outstanding opportunities to mitigate risks from climate change: $2.5 million for research on solar geoengineering (writeup forthcoming) and $3 million to encourage reduction in hydrofluorocarbon emissions. We also made about $1 million worth of other "one-off grants" (see here, here and here). We wrote about our recommendation to Good Ventures to grant $50 million to GiveWell's top charities. We aren't including this figure when we say (above) that "We recommended over $100 million worth of grants" in 2016.\nWe hope that by the end of 2016, the Open Philanthropy Project will operate as an independent organization from GiveWell, with its own employees and financials, though some individuals will continue to do work for both organizations.\nWe continue to commission case studies on philanthropy’s past successes as part of our history of philanthropy work. We also continue to collect relevant cases informally. By the end of 2016, we hope to publish a summary of what we’ve learned about the history of philanthropy, which will be a significant update from our 2012 post on the subject.\nWe hope to continue improving cross-cutting aspects of how we work. Our interests include improving our process for producing public writeups, refining our approach to cost-effectiveness estimates and comparing the good accomplished by different grants, refining our thinking about how much giving we should recommend to GiveWell's top charities, and finding ways to improve our general forecasting abilities (since our grantmaking decisions rely on views about what developments are likely in the future). We expect to do some work on all of these fronts, but it will not be a major priority with a concrete goal this year.\nWe still don't have the capacity we'd need to identify focus areas within the category of global health and development - beyond our existing connection to GiveWell's work and our support of the Center for Global Development. We don’t plan to build this capacity in 2016 and expect to revisit this in a future year.\nThe first of these - spinning off into an independent organization - turned out to be more complex and involved than we had anticipated. We put significant time into it in 2016 and are planning to complete the spinoff by mid-2017. We put less time than anticipated into the other points listed above. We did not publish an updated writeup on the history of philanthropy, and may or may not do so in 2017. We made some progress on the third point, including a revised approach to information sharing, starting to explore best practices for forecasting, improvements to our grantmaking process and new hires who focus on it, and an internal "Program Officer guide" that we expect to eventually create a public version of.\nSpeaking broadly, the main significance of 2016 for us is that we greatly increased our grantmaking, to the point where it is now comparable to that of major foundations. We expect to be able to maintain this pace and quality of giving recommendations (i.e. $100+ million per year, though with substantial year-to-year variation, from grants that we consider reasonably well-investigated and good expected value for money). If we had a goal of increasing the annual level of grantmaking further, we think we could fairly easily do so, and this has affected how we think about giving now vs. later. We now have a much more tangible sense of what the day-to-day key questions and operational challenges are for giving in this range. Many new questions and challenges have come up. At this level of giving, we now see more importance for careful public communications, the need for a more streamlined and systematic grantmaking process, and the need for more thinking about the question of how much grantmaking to aim for in each of our focus areas and how to decide when a grant is worth making. In particular, we believe that we will gain a lot from sharpening our thinking on several points related to worldview diversification - and the relative appeal of different worldviews - before increasing our annual giving level much more.\nFor reasons outlined above, we aren't planning much staff expansion in 2017. We plan to continue grantmaking roughly as we have been, while trying to improve the underlying processes and intellectual framework.\nMajor focus areas with full-time staff: we expect to continue our work on potential risks of advanced AI, biosecurity and pandemic preparedness, criminal justice reform and farm animal welfare much as we did in 2016. I would guess that the total amounts given in these causes will be broadly similar to what they were in 2016, and it's hard to say whether they'll be higher or lower for a given cause, because we don't know what sorts of opportunities we will find. My best guess is that the four causes combined will account for around $70-90 million in recommendations.\nOther US policy grantmaking. We believe that the results of the 2016 elections have changed the overall landscape for U.S. policy (though not in a way that substantially alters the promise of criminal justice reform or farm animal welfare). Alexander Berger plans to put less emphasis on finding new grantees in immigration reform, macroeconomic stabilization policy and land use reform, while focusing on maintaining existing grants in those areas. He plans to spend more of his time exploring new potential Open Phil policy priorities in light of the 2016 elections. It's hard to say what level of grantmaking this will lead to.\nEffective altruism. We now consider this to be among our focus areas. We've recommended (or will soon recommend) multi-year grants to the organizations we're most interested in supporting in this area. Nick Beckstead will maintain relationships and continue keeping an eye out for new opportunities, including opportunities to provide further funding to existing grantees, though we won't necessarily make new grant recommendations in 2017 beyond the couple we're working on now.\nScientific research. We've been working with our new full-time staff in this area for a few months, and feel that we still have a lot to learn about how best to investigate causes in this area. We hope to set focus areas by the end of 2017 or early 2018, though we still consider that a "soft" goal such that we will feel unsurprised if we don't achieve it. I expect that some grantmaking opportunities will come up in the meantime; we would like to recommend at least $10-20 million worth of grants while still choosing focus areas this year, including some of the "transformative research award" candidates mentioned above, and we plan to make larger grants if we can find outstanding opportunities (such as gene drives).\nOther. Claire Zabel has been investigating potential "one-off grants" for global catastrophic risks other than the two mentioned above, particularly climate change and nuclear weapons policy. We don’t yet know how much grantmaking this will result in.\nOverall, I will not be surprised if 2017 grantmaking is lower than 2016 grantmaking, as there were some significant one-off grants in 2016 (particularly in the area of gene drives). But I'd guess that we will recommend at least $100 million worth of grants, and I'll consider it quite surprising if we don't recommend at least $80 million worth.\nHow we determine whether it's better to make a given grant or save the money for a later date.\nThis work is likely to include addressing several of the fundamental questions we listed recently: how to compare cost-effectiveness across very different causes, how to make decisions under different kinds of uncertainty, how best to realize the benefits of worldview diversification, and which types of beings warrant our moral concern. It may also include some degree of further investigation on the moral value of the far future, and the question of how likely it is that we can have non-negligible impact on humanity's long-term prospects. We hope this work will put us in better position to make systematic day-to-day decisions about our grantmaking, and to choose the best possible cause prioritization and funding allocation as we scale up our giving further.\nWe're hoping to improve our grantmaking process, particularly the process of completing a writeup, grant agreement, and grant payment. (Currently, it often takes months from when we recommend a grant to when we finalize and announce the grant.) We recently hired Morgan Davis to help with this work, and may hire more people in line with this goal.\nWe're hoping to hire a Director of Operations so that we can be in good position to build an operations team as we grow further in the future. Currently, we largely share operations capacity with GiveWell.\nWe're hoping to improve our communications capacity. Currently, we make many grants with relatively little sense for what communications challenges they might raise, and what we can do to minimize or mitigate such challenges. We are exploring the idea of more intensive engagements with communications firms, and/or hiring, in order to get better at this. Doing so might also improve our ability to create public communications about our work that are more digestible than the content we currently put out.\nWe expect to complete the process of becoming a separate organization from GiveWell this year.\nWe are becoming more interested in the idea of finding additional donors to partner on our work, whether it takes the form of funding good giving opportunities that aren't a fit for us, pooling resources, or simply sharing a lot of information. Part of our increased interest comes from our increased sense that we can spend a lot of money in a high-impact way. We don't have any particular goals on this front for 2017, but we expect to spend more time talking with major philanthropists and future major philanthropists than we did in 2016.\nWe expect to very preliminarily start looking back at previous grants and doing self-assessment. However, we think it will be more productive to focus on this work a year or two from now. We expect most of our grants to take several years to have noticeable impact (if any), and the bulk of our grantmaking to date is now less than a year old.\nThroughout this post, "recommended" means that a recommendation was made by an Open Phil grant investigator and approved by Cari and Holden. However, the recommendation is generally conditional on finalizing a grant agreement and completing due diligence, and in many cases the next step after this is a recommendation to a donor-advised fund that has final say in what grant (if any) is made. Grants are not posted to our database until completed, so in many cases the date of a grant's being "recommended" in the sense used here is different from the date that a grant appears in the database.\nLast year's review stated, "We hope to recommend at least $10 million worth of grants in each of criminal justice reform and farm animal welfare. We have cause-specific staffers leading our work in both areas. (In each case, we’d include grants already made in these areas - since late 2015, when both staffers joined - as part of the $10 million.)" However, we decided that this accounting method is needlessly confusing, and we're now just listing numbers for calendar-year 2016.

What Do Professional Freelance Grant Writers Usually Do?\nGrant writing denotes to the exercise of accomplishing an application activity for capital delivered by an organization such as a government subdivision, business, charity or trust. Such application activities are frequently suggested to be either grant "proposals" or "submissions."\nSuccessful grant writing necessitates a perfect assimilation of what constitutes grantsmanship. While the codes and basics of grantsmanship apply roughly, it is essential to identify the objective and to be able to adjust the language suitably. A grant proposal typically appeals funding to upkeep activities that are coherent with the mission of the grant agency.\nWhat is does the process of grant writing encompass?\nWhat, and who, can usually get grants?\nNon-profit Organizations with an Exempted Charitable Status from IRS can qualify for Corporate Grants, Foundation Grants, and Government Grants.\nIndividuals such as health professionals, educators, researchers, and artists might qualify for a minor figure of Foundation Grants depending upon the qualifications. Other individuals might get qualified for government grants; State and Local Governments oversee several of these grants.\nFor profit businesses (businesses, enterprises, or sole proprietors) can qualify for Government Grants contingent on the provisions of the Funding Announcement notice.\nWhat would a freelance grant writer’s work assignment include?\nWhat are the factors that should be included by a freelance writer in a grant proposal?\nWhat are the average charges?\nRates are generally $50 - $100 for an hour for researching grant chances and $50-125 for an hour for writing applications and proposals.

David Powell, unquestionably one of the world’s finest wine producers, has an uncanny ability to discover old vine Barossa vineyards, and then secure long term contracts for their fruit. It is amazing that such high quality sources have not already been plucked by Australia’s giant wine corporations. Torbreck’s wines continue to get better and better, combining the old vine ripe fruit of Barossa with a European sensitivity to elegance and balance. The finest wines in this portfolio are pricy, but David Powell delivers some remarkable reds and whites at prices that are more than fair for the quality in the bottle.
Linda Anderson relates intuitively to the needs of today's women. A strong Biblical and literary background, energetic teaching style, and personal warmth and humor permeate her speaking and infuse her listeners with encouragement, hope, and inspiration.\nLinda is a teacher and reading specialist by profession (B.A. in Literature, Wheaton College; M.A. in Education, University of Texas at San Antonio). She has taught in public and Christian schools, been a short-term missionary in East Africa, and written out of her own experience on both the pain of childlessness and the challenges of parenting. She has also taught singles' Sunday School classes, seminars, and other mixed groups.\nLinda founded Mom to Mom Ministries and served for twelve years as the teaching leader of Grace Chapel's Mom to Mom program in Lexington, MA — an innovative parenting outreach program that has been featured in the Focus section of The Boston Globe (May 24, 1992) as well as in local newspapers and on cable television.\nAs the loving wife of a retired oncologist, grateful mother of three young adults, and enthusiastic "Nana" to a growing number of grandchildren, Linda has a special interest in topics related to marriage and family. As the daughter of Old Testament scholar Samuel J. Schultz, she has been a life-long student and teacher of the Bible, and her love of scripture tends to be contagious. As a popular retreat and seminar speaker, past teacher of singles, and current teacher of many moms, she has a heart-sensitivity to women and men at all ages and stages of life.\nEarly in 1991, three young mothers recognized in themselves and in their friends a great need: "We want to shape healthy Christian homes based on Biblical foundations, but where do we go for instruction that will filter the overwhelming overload of parenting advice through the strong sieve of Biblical truth? We long for experienced mothers as Godly role models, but our own families are far away and we have little contact with older moms. We often feel lonely and isolated in our 'mom-jobs' and yearn for interaction with other mothers struggling with the same issues."\nOut of their need, these three dared to dream a big dream: "Couldn't we start a ministry for moms that would be Biblically based, educationally stimulating, and emotionally supportive? We'd like it to be a source of equipping, encouragement, and energizing for Christian mothers as well as an outreach to communities around us." These three women took their dream to the pastor of Grace Chapel and then to the Director of Women's Ministries, who contacted Linda Anderson. Linda had been teaching various parenting classes for years, and was well-equipped to formulate and direct such a program.\nThus Mom to Mom was born. As one might guess, it didn't just "happen." Countless hours of committee meetings, seemingly endless searches for "Titus 2 leaders," Childcare Coordinators and other workers, and most important of all, months of prayer ensued. We often found ourselves reminded of the familiar saying that we needed to "work as if everything depended on us and pray as if everything depended on God." And how faithful He has been, supplying far above all we could ask or think!
The biggest of the big sailing ships to sail the promenade. You can’t see him from this angle, but there is a guy standing on the top platform behind the top most sail.\nDec. 31 – Jan. 2.\nMultisailed boats parade by Blue Wing packed with tourists soaking up the sea air as the sun sinks in the sky over Key West. The late afternoon light turns the sails of these big boats into great luminescent sheets. One after one they sail down a promenade between anchorages before reaching shallow water, turning around and passing us once again.\nThis is our new nightly show. After over a week at our anchorage in no-one’s-land, Greg’s foot finally recovered enough so we could move the boat to a more settled spot and easier location for getting to shore (I had not been off the boat in over two weeks). So we left the parasailers and derilict boats and found a decent piece of water off of Fleming Key and nestled ourselves between a few other boats. Later that night we saw our new anchorage’s bonus, the promenade of sailboats.\nWe were so pleased to be in calmer waters, to have such an amazing view, and to be so much closer to town, we didn’t think it could get any better. Then new years night happened. I was in bed for a few hours when I was awakened by our dinghy, Fever, banging against the hull. I didn’t think too much about it because the current in our new location is so strong and weird stuff happens when the tide changes. And, you know, Fever gets a little antsy sometimes. While I was tightening Fev up to stop his banging, I noticed that we were pointing in a different direction from all the other boats. Of course I am all for going your own way, doing your own thing, but in a crowded anchorage, a little conformity is desirable. I watched for a couple of hours as Blue Wing moved around in all directions, dancing back and forth, here and there. Finally, I woke Greg. By the time he was up and on deck we were almost on top of another boat. Time to move!\nWe weighed anchor and motored to another spot that seemed to have more space. Then we waited to see if Blue Wing was going to settle down into a pattern like all the other boats. We watched the chart plotter for hours as she made long oblong circles back and forth through the water. Each pass to and fro we came awfully close to a crab pot and a mooring bouy. Despite Blue Wing’s broad movements she didn’t seem to be in any danger of hitting anyone, so we went below and slept for a few hours until shortly after daybreak. In the light we could see she had finally settled down. Unfortunately this was because her anchor rode was wrapped around the crab pot and mooring bouy. Time to move again!\nThe large mess of tracks in the middle of this Chart Plotter was Blue Wing’s path as she danced through the anchorage. You can see from the scale on the chart she was traveling a good bit of distance.\nWe got her untangled from the bouys and found another place that gave us plenty of room between ALL obstacles. We anchored and swung back in a rhythm with all the other boats. Our new location is on the outside of the anchorage which means more jet ski wakes, but we are also closer to town and now have an unobstructed view of the nightly boat parade. Yes! It did get better, after all. Well, at least for an hour or two.\nOh no! Shortly after we drop the hook another boat with a Danish flag came and tried to squeeze in between us and everyone else. We now had a changing tide with opposing wind. They were having trouble and drifted close to us. Greg let them know where our anchor was and warned them about the current. They appeared to pull up the hook and we thought they would go somewhere else, but they didn’t. Next time I came on deck the guy from the other boat had a tight grip on Blue Wing trying to keep his boat from hitting us. Their anchor chain had crossed ours and we had been pulled in the opposite direction. We worked together keeping the boats apart while he tried to pull up his anchor without pulling up ours. We finally cranked Blue Wing, gave her some reverse, and were free. They motored off passing close enough that one of their side mount solar panels barely missed hitting us, sliding through the rails of our bow pulpit!\nAs we waited for Blue Wing to settle back in a rhythm with everyone else, we watched as the Danish boat anchored again, father from us, but too close to a different boat.\nLast night Fever started banging on the hull again. I got up to tighten him up and looked around the anchorage. Our Danish neighbors, who had been there at sunset, we’re now gone. I saw long distances between us and all the other boats, so I went back to sleep feeling confident that if Blue Wing wanted to, she had all the room she needed for a little midnight dancing by herself.\nGreg’s foot has gotten much better. We will be here in Key West until it is 100%, or at least 99%, then wait for a weather window, then continue on our journey to Mexico.\nAs some of you may know, our MacBook Pro broke. It is five years old and they tell me it is not worth fixing, if they can even find the parts. I have typed this post and edited these photos on my tablet. It does the job, but moving the photos from my camera to the tablet is time comsuming, editting them is harder, and uploading everthing to WordPress is a pain. But no worries, we are used to evetything being way harder than it should be and can keep the posts coming until my camera SD card fills up. What we really miss is our TV series. Will we ever find out if Captain Archer saves Earth from the Xindi?!\nGreg’s injury has actually ended up being a good thing. If we had continued on to Mexico, our computer would have broken there, where it may have been impossible or at least even more costly to replace. Actually, we have had even more good fortune stuck here in Key West, but we will save those stories for another post.\nBoats raising sails in the distance.\nNew Years Eve was a busy night for the promenade.\nThe sun gets ready to set.\nPassing in front of the setting sun.\nJet skis surround the sailboat.\nThis entry was posted in Florida on the Water, Life on the Water and tagged Big boats, Key West, Sailboats. Bookmark the permalink.\nThanks Terry! Lucky for us we have a wind generator. We are all powered up. Fired up the bullet this morning and made a smoothie with all the fruits and veggies we got at Publix, thanks to you!\nLife on the hook, nary a dull moment. Love those schooner pics–great blog.\nHope you enjoy the new computer!
