St. Louis-based Vertegy today announced that it has expanded its staff to keep pace with the growing demand for green and sustainable consulting services. The firm recently added Omar Senghore as assistant project manager and Emma Ruhmann as project specialist.
St. Louis-based Vertegy today announced that it has expanded its staff to keep pace with the growing demand for green and sustainable consulting services. The firm recently added Omar Senghore as assistant project manager and Emma Ruhmann as project specialist.
Senghore, an experienced LEED Accredited Professional, joins Vertegy after spending nearly a decade working for Alberici, Vertegy's parent company. There, he played instrumental roles in numerous multi-million dollar construction and development projects in the St. Louis and Detroit areas, including serving as LEED coordinator for multiple contractor teams across various disciplines for General Motors' LEED Gold Lansing Delta Township Assembly Complex, a project in which Vertegy served as the sustainability consultant. In his new position as assistant project manager, Senghore is using the experience he gained at Alberici to assist him in providing hands-on support for the clients and project teams who are seeking the benefits of sustainable design and construction. Senghore, originally from Gambia in Western Africa, most recently resided in Chesterfield before temporarily moving to Qatar, where he oversees key Vertegy projects.
A recent graduate, Ruhmann, of Florissant, joins Vertegy after interning with the firm in the summer of 2009. As a project specialist, Ruhmann provides support to the Vertegy project management team as well as clients and design/construction teams, focusing on the delivery of efficient and affordable sustainable strategies. She is a LEED Green Associate and is currently studying to become a LEED Accredited Professional with a Building Design and Construction Specialty. Ruhmann graduated from Saint Louis University in May 2010 with a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science with concentrations in Chemistry and Geosciences.
Founded in February 2005, Vertegy provides clients with design, procurement and construction consulting services for green and sustainable facilities. One of the key ways Vertegy serves clients is by helping them gain certification for their projects from various nationally and internationally recognized certification bodies, such as the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), which provides LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) certification. Vertegy � which is derived from combining the Latin root for green and strategy � is based in St. Louis at the LEED Platinum Alberici Corporate Headquarters.

All of us in higher education are under considerable pressure to justify the relevance and reduce the costs of our colleges and universities. While we often find ourselves on the defensive, our increasing programs and activities in community engagement strengthen our case for the significance and the value of higher education. We recognized long ago that knowledge for its own sake could no longer validate the cost of higher education. Colleges and universities needed to demonstrate that they could connect theory and practice by adapting and applying teaching and learning to transform our communities and ourselves.
For the past 25 years, the California Campus Compact (CACC) has inspired students, faculty, and administrators throughout our state to co-create teaching and learning environments that support, advance, and reward community engagement. CACC has been effective in developing an educational model that seamlessly integrates community engagement into curricular and co-curricular programs and activities. In doing so, CACC has helped us bridge the unnecessary divide between academic and student affairs to the benefit of students, faculty, and student affairs professionals. It has led to a renewal on our campuses of common purpose, civic virtue, and social responsibility that has made higher education more relevant and worth its cost. While we need to reduce the costs of our colleges and universities for the short and long term sustainability of higher education, we can argue that community centered higher education is worth the expense as anything less would seriously diminish the health and progress of our nation and civilization.
At the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS), we became involved with CACC as we were developing an initiative that we have named The Center for Beloved Community in honor of the spirit and advocacy of Martin Luther King. The initiative commits us to advance a Beloved Community not only in CIIS, but also in the San Francisco Bay Area. CIIS is blessed to be located in a radically changing area of San Francisco. The dynamics of the rapid expansion present us with opportunities and challenges. As high tech and the arts flourish all around us, the underserved need more support and attention lest they be driven out of San Francisco. If we are to be active members of a Beloved Community, we need to provide the space where we can convene the difficult and heartfelt conversations that can lead to the quality of social change that will benefit us all.
I believe that CIIS serves as an example of what other colleges and universities can do if not already doing. The CIIS School of Professional Psychology and Health along with its six counseling centers educate more counseling psychologists than any other university. We are grateful that year after year, our graduates in counseling psychology consistently place among the highest in pass rates on the California credentialing examination. Yet, we would not be satisfied with this distinctive performance were it not for the strong commitment of our graduates to transform themselves and our many and diverse communities now and for generations to come.
The School of Consciousness and Transformation, as its name indicates, is devoted to providing an education that will enable students to explore the myriad of worldviews that can be used in changing themselves and their communities for the better. This School serves those who wish to work in, if not create, progressive for-profit and non-profit organizations in the Bay Area and beyond. Students in this School explore transformative leadership; creativity, consciousness, and the arts; ecology, religion, and spirituality; scholarly activism; philosophy, cosmology, and consciousness; engaged world psychologies; gender and cultural diversity; and global peace.
The School of Undergraduate Studies serves a growing number of students who have had difficulty in finding the time and place to complete their undergraduate degrees. By offering these students a cohort model of education that honors past education and achievement, the Bachelor of Arts Completion Program (BAC) serves a diverse student body and prepares them through integrative, multidisciplinary, and collaborative learning approaches. Many graduates of BAC will enter various graduate programs at CIIS and elsewhere to advance their opportunities to serve their communities.
To advance our institutional vision of a Beloved Community, CIIS draws on the inspiration, support, and credibility of CACC. And that is why as President of CIIS, I am a grateful member of CACC - an organization that we can partner with in advancing our public purpose, improving community life, and educating for social responsibility.

News & Updates
2017-18: The Year Ahead
The Committee ended the 2016-17 academic year with discussions regarding the new university strategic plan scheduled for release in fall 2017, the new IT Governance Council scheduled to kickoff in late summer 2017, and the role of APIC in assisting with these new initiatives. As APIC begins its third year, the purpose will be revisited and revised, as needed, to focus the efforts of the Committee's work in a meaningful manner.
We look forward to our continued work with faculty and staff to identify administrative process concerns and to suggest opportunities for enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of these processes campus-wide. Please submit a concern via the link provided on the home page or send questions to firstname.lastname@example.com.
During the 2016-17 academic year, APIC placed an emphasis on exploring solutions to help with information sharing and communications across campus. Two key initiatives were launched based on these efforts.
- The Committee recognized the need for a centralized area to find key information.
In partnership with Strategic Communications the idea for an employee hub came to life and launched in fall 2017. [See news release.]
- The Committee heard concerns regarding an inability to find training opportunites available on campus. In partnership with Information Technology Services and Human Resource Management, the Training and Event registration site was expanded for a more comprehensive resource to help faculty and staff find a variety of training sessions.
The Admnistrative Process Improvement Committee was formed in fall 2015 as a collaborative initiative of the Executive Vice President and Provost and the Vice President for Finance and Administration/CFO. During the first year of operation APIC focused on the following elements: developed a website, including a comment form to submit concerns; reviewed and responded to concerns (see "Responses-Archive"); and delved into two of the top concerns expressed, travel and parking (see "FAQs").

From Stalingrad to Rosa Parks
Welcome burst of colour!
As 2015 draws to a close I set out to discover the latest additions to the capital's bustling street art scene. From the dark, dismal area under the elevated viaduct of Paris's Métro Line 2 I head north up rue d'Aubervilliers towards the pont Ricquet and the new Rosa Parks district.
Until recently there was a drab grey wall alongside N°s 104-164, now it's been transformed thanks to artists Bastardilla, Kashink ,Katjastroph, Tatyana Fazlalizadeh, Zepha and many others.

wearing; Stylestalker black trust fund dress (as a Top) from About Eloise, Monday March jacket and pants, Frye Boots
The weather (icky as per usual lately) didn't gave me a change to really show off my new Stylestalker dress from the Dutch/European webshop About Eloise. ( Finally a European shop that's a bit like the American ones we love so much!)
But it did gave me a change to show that I often use dresses as tops when I'm in a layering mood :)
ps. I still didn't made up my mind between the Lilac and Mint dr. Martens.. impossible to choose...

Neighborhoods Memorial West
The "Memorial Area" is generally regarded as those neighborhoods that lie between the 610-Loop on the east, Highway 6 on the west, I-10 on the north, and Buffalo Bayou on the south. "Memorial West" refers to those neighborhoods west of Gessner Road and east of Highway 6.
Along Gessner Road and Beltway-8, upscale shopping, dining and entertainment abound, along with Hermann Memorial Hospital and Health Center at Memorial City. Beltway-8 provides the area with quick access to all parts of the city, the airports are within a 30-minute drive, I-10 is immediately accessible, and I-59 is only minutes away.
As Memorial Drive winds westward past Gessner Road through beautiful wooded terrain, quiet streets lead to special neighborhoods: Frostwood, Tealwood, Fonn Villas, and Memorial Pines. West of Beltway-8, Memorial Bend, Gaywood, Yorkchester, Yorkshire, Wilchester, Nottingham, Nottingham Forest, and Westchester offer a public green-space along the bayou with a jogging trail and horse stables.
Memorial Thicket, Thornwood, Barker's Landing, Fleetwood, and Marywood are the westernmost Memorial neighborhoods. Continued western expansion of the city, excellent school systems, and large, beautiful lots all ensure the continued viability and popularity of the Memorial area.

I HAVE just updated my post from earlier this week about the disconnect between the guidance practices of public companies and the opinions of investment analysts and portfolio managers about what constitutes best practice.
IR Magazine and the National Investor Relations Institute (NIRI) say I am wrong to say IROs are more focused on short-term guidance than are analysts. You should read the update, but I want to use this post to take issue with NIRI's claim that there has been a sharp rise in the proportion of companies that are providing earnings guidance.
I don't believe it because it makes no sense.
Surveys lack comparability
In the news release NIRI states (emphasis added): "Sixty-four percent of NIRI members report providing earnings guidance compared to 51 percent in 2007 survey results and 66 percent in 2006, representing the reversal of a trend toward fewer companies providing earnings guidance that had developed over the last several years."
That statement is dutifully regurgitated by IR Magazine, which headlines its story Trend away from earnings guidance reverses. CFO Magazine took the same angle earlier with a story headlined "Welcome Back, Guidance."
But looking at the surveys in 2007 (PDF 46KB) and 2008 (PDF 111KB), they aren't comparable. They don't ask exactly the same things, and the 2008 survey could easily have resulted in respondents misconstruing the questions about "earnings guidance" to mean financial guidance in general.
I think the 2007 survey, which had double the response rate (24% versus 12%), is more accurate. I also think the figures for 2008 are inflated due to at least some people taking the first question on "earnings guidance" to mean financial guidance generally. I have looked at the 2006 survey and I can't say anything bad about it.
Increasing long-term earnings guidance when there is less visibility defies logic
But you don't really need to compare the surveys to tell you something is amiss here. If you believe NIRI, companies can't seem to make up their minds about earnings guidance one year to the next.
Based on my experience of how slowly companies change their disclosure practices for credibility reasons, it's very strange for companies to chop and change like that.
Especially at a time like this. It is highly unlikely that companies would provide less earnings guidance when the outlook seemed more certain (May 2007), and more earnings guidance when the future is much more murky and there is talk of a serious recession (March 2008).
Furthermore, the contention as reported by IR Magazine that guidance for "longer time frames including annual estimates account for 72 percent, up from 59 percent" also makes no sense.
Unless they don't care about their own credibility, why would companies provide more longer-term earnings guidance at the very time that they have less visibility into the future?
My take is that earnings guidance practices are largely the same as last year or have declined slightly. Also, in my update to the earlier post I show based on NIRI's own surveys that slightly more companies are providing shorter-term earnings guidance and fewer are providing annual earnings guidance.
Of course, I could be completely wrong and someone could well convince me otherwise, but based on my own experience and research of companies' actual earnings release practices, I don't think I am.
P.S. No, I'm not oblivious to the fact that writing this stuff does nothing to endear me to the IR fraternity, but this blog has always been about challenging convention and stirring debate. Frankly, I'd like nothing better than to eat crow on this topic because at least it would show that people give a damn. Sadly, I expect that this post will slowly drift down the list and be forgotten.
P.P.S. I realize NIRI is just reporting the results they get, but this isn't the first time the results have borne little resemblance to reality. Remember when 56% of NIRI members said they planned to do a notice-and-access mailing of their proxy materials. Well, we know for a fact that few actually did. And then there are those surveys of annual report practices, where most members claim they post non-PDF versions of these documents but only about 10% actually do. Make of that what you will, but there's clearly a believability problem here.

Those gardens planted and developed in locations with little or no direct sunlight in the day hours, either under trees or on the shady parts of the buildings are called shade gardens. Shade gardening are faced with a few challenges because only few plants are able to survive in shady conditions.
In addition to lack of sunlight, shade gardens, under huge trees also have very dry soils because the trees take up much of the available water.
There are several species of flowers that can be cultivated and bloomed into some of the most beautiful flowers. Not every flower can survive in a shaded condition.
It is an area where the sun moves across the sky and the shade moves along with it. These parts get a lot of light in frequent intervals in the entire day. Some full-sun plants do well under these conditions, and based on the location and climate, they may in fact appreciate the frequent relief from the hot sun.
These shades can be found on the northern side of a house, or beneath an open-ended covered porch. Several plants can be cultivated under these conditions, but full-sun lovers may not survive here.
It is witnessed under decks and in northern-facing parts having a structure or tree blocking the direct sunlight. This is found where the separating line actually begins between full-sun and full-shade plants.
Deep shade gardens are easy to witness. It's that part in the backyard that gets permanently no light at all, because of the structures or thick hedging. The plant selection gets much more restricted when exposed to deep shade, but there are still sufficient available options to make it an elegant, cool, and welcoming space for living.
The soil is major concern. Most flowers will survive in the shade in the leaf litter from trees. Ground messed up with leaves may mat the floor of the garden enabling it tough for the flowers to bloom up into the sun light.
Slow release of fertilizer to the soil can catapult the health and well being of the plants.
Water is also a prominent aspect of any gardening. If the soil becomes dry, it must be irrigated properly for moisture up to the roots of the plants.
There are several flowers to select from which would be great in a shade garden, based on the climate where the garden is located. Some may wish to get shade gardens that have partial shade, while others may be comfortable with a shadier space. The multiple types of shaded areas can influence the flowers planted immensely. There can be dry shade, wet shade or even moist shade. Dry shade is generally where there are roots to vie with. Wet or moist soil needs plants that can go well with that environment.
Keeping in view the above factors you can plan your shade gardens.

The AP is reporting that a radiation leak has affected numerous people in the Hadron Experimental Facility at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex in the town of Tokaimura.
Up to 55 people were affected, with at least "six researchers suffering internal radiation exposure."
The report indicates that "researchers were trying to generate particles by directing a proton beam at some gold when their equipment overheated, causing the evaporation and release of radioactive gold."
The leak took place on May 23, but was not reported because it was thought to have been contained within the lab. However, once a ventilator was turned on it spread throughout the facility, and it was after this–on May 24–that the leak was reported.
Researches said the vent was turned on because they believed the radioactive substances would "quickly decay." An investigation has now been launched to see if there were ulterior reasons for not reporting the leak quickly.
For now, all work at the Hadron Experimental Facility has been suspended.

I couldn't agree more with the outrage in Bobcat Goldthwait's "God Bless America," nor like his movie less. What might have been a stinging, five-minute sketch on, say, "Funny or Die" gets feature-length treatment here. It makes you appreciate how movies as diverse as "Natural Born Killers," "Taxi Driver" and "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer" more convincingly portrayed American psychopathy. (Oh, yeah — add "American Psycho" to the list, too.)
Goldthwait begins with an acid look at our culture of insta-celebrity, social incivility and unmerited entitlement. Middle-aged, divorced Frank (Joel Murray) puts himself to bed each night numbed by the idiocies flooding his TV screen. They include fictionalized versions of reality shows such as "My Super Sweet 16" and "Jackass," fear-mongering Fox-style "news" shows, and anything devised by Simon Cowell — here represented by a bullying sing-a-thon called "American Superstars."
These are easy targets, sure, but it's hard to argue that this sort of programming has coarsened our nation's character and lowered the level of civil discourse. It's how Frank reacts that sends the movie on a path of diminishing, bloody return.
Provoked partly by the me-me-me entitlement of his own young daughter, Frank snaps and shoots to death the spoiled teenage star of a show who complained on camera that the car her parents bought for her on her 16th birthday wasn't a Cadillac Escalade. The murder is witnessed by the girl's classmate Roxy (Tara Lynne Barr).
Instead of calling the cops, Roxy follows Frank to his hotel and offers herself up as his lil' assistant assassin. The character owes a debt to both Chloë Moretz's Hit-Girl in "Kick-Ass" and Ellen Page's murderous sidekick to Rainn Wilson in "Super" — satiric films that also (facilely) take on vigilantism. They suffer weaknesses similar to those that cripple "God Bless America," but both are better movies.
In short (but long-seeming) order, Frank and Roxy hit the highway, putting bullets into tea partiers and (yay!) obnoxious cell-phone yackers in cineplexes. The movie never really pauses to consider that the ease with which people can shoot one another in this country is a much bigger, bloodier issue to address than that of our debased culture. The closest it comes is in a scene that shows Frank buying assorted firearms from a dealer in a hotel room — a riff that explicitly copies one from Martin Scorsese's "Taxi Driver." (He's uncredited, but the arms seller may even be the actor from that movie.) This represents a huge miscalculation on Goldthwait's part: you do not want to invoke a movie (much less a filmmaker) so superior.
Granted, "God Bless America" has its guilty pleasures. But if you haven't heard the names of its two lead actors before, there's a reason. As murderous sad sack Frank, Murray (brother of Bill and John) is recessive and inert. By contrast, young, pie-faced Barr is hyper and shrill. The disparity between their acting styles creates a charisma vacuum that's only one of this movie's problems.
"God Bless America." With Joel Murray, Tara Lynne Barr. Written and directed by Bobcat Goldthwait. Rated R. 104 minutes. At Plaza Theatre.

CNET First Look
Energizer Power & Play Charging SystemWhile it isn't particularly fancy, the Energizer Power & Play Charging System for the PlayStation 3 is one of the more compact and versatile charging stations on the market for PS3 wireless controllers.
[ Music ] >>[Background music] Hi I'm David Carnoy Executive Editor for CNET.com and I'm here to give you a very quick tour of the Energizer Power and Play charging system for the PS3. As a lot of you know the one problem with the PS3 is that your PS3 has to be on to charge the wireless controller. That's why products like this exist and what you have here is very simple. You plug in your PS3 controller, there's a power adapter that goes into the back of it. One of the nice things about this charging station is that it's a bit more vertical than some of the ones we've seen so it takes up a little bit less space. You could probably tuck this away behind your TV. It charges two controllers right out of the box. One on the bottom and on of the top of the unit. But there's also a couple of USB port that allows you to control up to 4 controllers. You do need to supply your own USB cables, however. Those extra USB ports will also charge some electronics, some cell phones for instance. I found that it won't recharge all gadgets that offer USB recharging but it will recharge a lot of them. It does take about 2 and a half hours to completely recharge your controllers. There's a red glow on the clear plastic piece that holds the controller in place when the controller is charging. That light will turn green when it is fully recharged. There really isn't too much else to say about this charger. It is a simple device. It isn't particularly fancy but it does the job. We'd like to see it a teeny bit cheaper but that's really the only gripe we had. I'm David Carnoy and it's the Energizer Power and Play system for the PS3. [ Music ]

BLOG: 1000toys 1/12 Synthetic Human & CaRB
|Fact, 1000toys' Synthetic Human figures are selling like hotcakes. Along with the second run of the 1/12 version, they're releasing its enemy unit, the 1/12 Collared and Reprogrammed Body (CaRB). They came from the manga Biomega by Tsutomu Nihei and has a certain aesthetic to getting used to.
Was originally intending to order just the CaRB as it's more robotic, not to mention the Synthetic Human looks borderline creepy. On the other hand, the Synthetic Human is an acquired aesthetic. It also shares the same color layout with the Tsugumori from Knights of Sidonia, another of Nihei's work. Don't really have the budget to get both so let's see.

In the Kitchen: Chef Clive's Pasta Primavera Salad
Watch In the Kitchen Thursday at 6:30 a.m. #LiveOnKMTR NBC 16 TODAY
Not only does summer mean lighter food, but you're starting to see plenty of garden vegetables. Chef Clive Wanstall, Chef Instructor at LCC, has a recipe that incorporates these fresh delights. Chef Clive also shows some technique on cutting these vegetables. And while we use cricket pasta for this dish, you can use any fusilli pasta.
IN THE KITCHEN | Cooking with crickets
Chef Clive's Pasta Primavera Salad
Serves four to six
- 8 ounces Fusilli Dry Pasta (Pasta Gardner Cricket Pasta is recommended, but any Pasta Gardner pasta will work just fine)
- Half a Red onion, thinly sliced

While pasta is cooking, peel carrots and then use peeler to pare the carrots into ribbons. Finely chop the carrot tops
Get back to the pasta. Drain, do not rinse.
Allow to cool down..
Toss the pasta with the vegetables, Oregano, carrot top and oil in a large bowl to combine well.
Taste and season the pasta with salt and pepper.
Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve immediately …or chill for later if you can wait.

RoamAD and Adino Telecom partner for Indian Wi-Fi growthDecember 11th, 2007 - 6:33 pm ICT by admin
Mumbai, Dec 11 (ANI-Business Wire India): RoamAD, supplier of the most advanced converged wireless networks, today announced the signing of a partnership agreement with Adino Telecom, one of India's most experienced wireless systems integrators.
The deal follows successful pilots of RoamAD metro Wi-Fi and highway Wi-Fi networks in the Indian cities of Pune and Bangalore.
Under the agreement, Adino Telecom will supply and integrate RoamAD networks for Internet services providers, carriers, universities and government agencies on the Indian subcontinent.
Metro Wi-Fi, deployed in the right places, is the fastest way to deliver easily-accessible, cost-effective, wireless broadband to an urban population.
"Although India is one of the fastest growing wireless markets in the world, broadband penetration is still very low at less than 0.50%," said Martyn Levy, CEO of RoamAD.
"There is a rapidly-emerging, tech-savvy segment of the population that is demanding improved access to broadband. This growing segment, which is located in urban areas, is increasingly armed with the latest laptops and Wi-Fi enabled cell phones and gadgets. Couple these facts with the population density and you quickly realise that India's urban areas are perfect for metro Wi-Fi deployments," he added.
RoamAD's technology is already behind a number of high-profile metro Wi-Fi and highway Wi-Fi networks around the world.
Adino Telecom now offers a full suite of RoamAD-related services to complement the needs of its customers, from site survey and network design through to deployment and integration.
"Mobility performance on the highway Wi-Fi network was seamless and exceeded our expectations," said S. Ramchandra, COO of Adino Telecom.
"We are already seeing growing demand in India for metro Wi-Fi and we look forward to bringing RoamAD's next generation wireless networks to the Indian market," he added. (ANI)

The Frasier Institute has been promoting a number of claims concerning the impact of the living wage on low wage earners. These claims were based on unrelated data with no bearing on the experience of living wage initiatives here in Canada. The living wage movement has been growing across the country and hundreds of employers have begun putting their money where their values are. Late last year living wage initiatives from across the country joined together to launch Living Wage Canada an organization that has developed a nationally consistent calculation framework and recognition process for living wage employers.
A living wage is not the same as the minimum wage, which is the legal minimum all employers must pay. The living wage is calculated as the hourly rate at which a household can meet its basic needs, once government transfers have been added to the family's income and deductions have been subtracted. The rate takes into account housing, food and transportation costs based on data from Statistics Canada, Public Health and the CMHC. The rate also makes considerations for skills upgrading, childcare, and healthcare costs.
The goal of the living wage is to get families out of severe financial stress by lifting them out of poverty and providing a basic level of economic security. Throughout south-western Ontario living wage rates have been calculated between $14.75 and $16 an hour and relate directly to the cost of living in specific communities.
The living wage benefits workers, employers, and our local economy. Where living wages have been implemented, studies show that productivity improves and there's a significant reduction in training costs and absenteeism. Employers also gain the benefit of public recognition for being a responsible business in a consumer-savvy marketplace. As one living wage employer in Hamilton, Dan Peace, owner of Dominion Pattern Works noted, "Paying a living wage is good for business. Staff turnover plummet, service quality and employer morale increases and productivity improves. The return on investment is significant."
The local economy benefits from living wage programs through increased consumer spending as low wage earners re-invest their paycheque right back into the local economy. As economist Armine Yalnizyan has noted, "People at the bottom of the income spectrum spend all the money they have, and more. Increase their pay, they spend more money, raise demand, boost the economy. Employers don't create jobs; consumers do."
Community-driven living wage programs across Ontario are building momentum and have encouraged large and small employers alike to sign up to become living wage employers. Employers that have signed on commit to paying all of their staff, including contracted staff, such as cleaning and food services, a living wage. In Hamilton, a number of businesses from fitness centres to venture capital companies to industrial services have already signed on to pay a living wage. In Calgary the living wage program has been able to sign on over fifty employers in just five years.
The living wage is a call to action for employers to play an active role in reducing working poverty in our community. It's about fairness, good jobs, and a strong local economy. Living wage programs do make a difference and have been demonstrated, time and again, to help workers and their families make ends meet.
Lyndsey Butcher is the Project Manager for the Living Wage Leaders of Waterloo Region

We have no hesitation in recommending the LeagueRepublic system to all leagues looking for a way to administer their league...
LeagueRepublic is the pinnacle of sports administration systems and is the ultimate way to run any league!
After taking over the running of the leagues in February 2013, we immediately identified the need to get important and up to date information to our members quickly. Our site at the time required updating manually which was time consuming and was therefore often out of date and also looked bland.
We decided to try LeagueRepublic, having previously played in leagues that also used them. With the new upcoming season only a few weeks away we didn't think that we would be able to have a new site setup in time, however once we began inputting data it came together so quickly that we were able to use it for the new season.
The support and feedback offered is second to none, all email queries are answered quickly and efficiently every time. You never feel that you are on your own either in setting up or when making changes to your site.
Blackburn and District Pool Leagues currently operate two leagues within the East Lancashire region playing on Sundays and Mondays, our main league on Monday nights currently consists of 4 divisions with 40 teams and upwards of 360 players.
We have no hesitation in recommending the LeagueRepublic system to all leagues looking for a way to administer their league and those who also want a league website.
The league site looks both modern and clean, with a simple user interface for anyone visiting the site. The SMS results facility works so well that we now have the league tables fully updated by the following morning, a fantastic feature for all our members.
With the new site up and running we were approached by a current sponsor who had questions regarding the new online advertising opportunities on our site. After a discussion the company decided to increase their sponsorship, solely down to the way we could now promote their business on our website.
The statistics reporting feature is one of the most useful as we run individual merits prizes for each division, we simply input match results and the stats pages are automatically updated, a superb time saving feature easily customisable to suit different needs.
The venue location facility with Google Maps integration is extremely useful, as all league venues can be shown on the site. The news section not only lets you keep members informed, but also lets you tag it to the relevant section so that it reaches the people you want it to reach.

LeagueRepublic has totally revolutionised my workflow, freeing up lots of time for me to concentrate on running the league...
My name is Mark Farmer, Secretary of the Hereford Charity Pool League, I have been using LeagueRepublic to administer our league for 8 years/16 seasons.
We have 7 divisions of 10 teams, so 70 teams in total, which equates to around 700 individual players.
LeagueRepublic has totally revolutionised my workflow, freeing up lots of time for me to concentrate on running the league rather than spending all my time with paperwork, Excel documents and making phone calls.
The system is fantastic for team or league administrators. We run all 7 divisions on the site, and have taken advantage of the truly excellent text result service. This means that team captains can text a result into the website and it updates the league table instantly. This saves me hours of work each week fetching scorecards , updating tables and having to decipher poor handwriting!
The administrator/s have total control of allowing results, either setting the site to need confirmation from an admin before the result shows up, or as I do, allowing the result to go up instantly. If there is a conflict in results between two teams the system flags this up for the admin to deal with. Perfect!
Around two years ago we decided to expire our old league website and move over fully to LeagueRepublic, we just didn't require the old site anymore as League Republic has everything covered.
We have also become a 'paperless' league, no need for continually printing off copies of league tables and delivering or posting them to our 45 venues, teams and pubs just print off league tables or cup draws as they need them.
We have a news section, galleries and knockout competition pages, as well as the superb league table standings pages for each division. It's the first port of call for all players when they need to see league tables, cup draws or news from our pool league.
League Republic has great customer service, if you get stuck then fire off a contact message or email and they get back to you quickly to sort things out.
In all honesty, I just couldn't function without LeagueRepublic. I have no qualms at all about recommending them.

LeagueRepublic is a great tool for any sporting league looking to use something simple, yet looks really good and is easy to access....
Retford Pool League has been established for many years now and is a very popular league amongst many people who play within the league. We have teams playing from Retford and its surrounding villages, which form a very competitive and friendly league. We run 2 seasons which comprises of a winter league, which runs from October - May, and a summer league which runs from June - September. We roughly have around 24 teams that compete, but sometimes this can vary depending on the season and the interest in some teams playing. We have 3 divisions in a winter league with 8 teams in each division, and we have 3 groups in a summer league campaign which comprises of 7 teams.
We are always looking for more teams each year, but the league as whole is very healthy and has a very bright future. The league has been run by a few committee's over the years but as time has gone on the league has developed. This is in no small part down to LeagueRepublic and its functionality within the site. The current committee has been together for around 2 years now and has the passion and interest in the game to move our league forward as much as possible.
We have been using LeagueRepublic for around 4 years now and it has been a great tool to help us manage and promote our league. Before we started to use LeagueRepublic we had an old fashioned system whereby the committee would print out fixtures, standings & results to all teams and venues, but with the age of internet we can use the league republic facility which not only looks professional but we can reach even more people than we ever could before.
The best features on LeagueRepublic has to be the way things are laid out. You get the chance to make the page your own by putting in your own images and text to really professionalize the way the site looks. LeagueRepublic is a great tool for any sporting league looking to use something simple, yet looks really good and is easy to access.

Works as advertised! – Customer Review
The stainless steel and polyester blend of fibers are stiff enough, yet gentle enough to tackle algae on concrete or gunite pool surfaces. The patented ""wing"" built into the body of the brush provides a significant downward force to provide a good scrubbing action. This brush is especially good for larger pools that are deep where a long pole extension is necessary.

Prions Are Deadly Proteins
Infectious prions have a trusty accomplice in causing deadly neurological disease, according to research by Geisel biochemist Surachai Supattapone, M.D., Ph.D. Normal, noninfectious prion proteins are usually found in the brain. But when prion proteins misfold, they can become infectious and trigger a number of fatal brain disorders, such as mad cow disease or Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans.
TSEs are caused by a deadly protein called a prion (PREE-on). As such, TSEs also are referred to as prion disease. The critical factor is that prions are unstoppable. The pathogen spreads through the bodily fluids and cell tissue of its victims. All tissue is infectious just because of the contact with the contaminated blood.
TSEs also include Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Parkinson's, Huntington's, mad cow disease and chronic wasting disease in the deer family. Few, if any, mammals are immune. There is no cure.
Dr. Stanley Prusiner, an American neuroscientist from the University of California at San Francisco, earned a Nobel Prize in 1997 for discovering and characterizing deadly prions and prion disease. President Obama awarded Prusiner the National Medal of Science in 2010 to recognize the importance of his research. According to Prusiner, TSEs all are on the same disease spectrum, which is more accurately described as prion disease. He claims that all TSEs are caused by prions.
What puzzles scientists is that infectious prions (simply called "prions"), unlike viruses, have no nucleic acids—no DNA or RNA—yet they are able to create distinct, self-propagating strains of prion diseases. Most scientists believe in a protein-only hypothesis in which prions create different strains of disease on their own, and many believe that the hypothesis may apply to other diseases as well, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.
But Supattapone is doubtful. If a prion contains just a single protein, without other essential molecules, "it's hard to explain why the strains exist first of all," he says. Another problem with the protein-only hypothesis, he adds, is that "nobody has been able to make infectious prions from just the prion."
Through a purification process, Supattapone, with Geisel biochemist Nathan Deleault, determined that when a noninfectious prion protein is mixed with a certain phospholipid molecule, named phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), the combination creates an infectious prion. This experiment was the first time anyone had formed infectious prions from only two components (prion protein and PE) and without any nucleic acids.

Despite being one of the richest men on the planet, George Soros is not defined by his wealth. When he is gone, the world-renowned businessman will most likely be remembered for eagerness to help people than the amount he made. He is a walking success story having risen from relative obscurity to become arguably the best hedge fund manager of the 21st century. However, thanks to his passion for giving, he not only works through his Soros Fund Management Company but also through a collection of civil society and charitable groups under the umbrella of the Open Society Foundations.
First created in 1984, the Open Society Foundations have grown to become Soros's primary instruments for creating positive political change. These foundations are mainly based in nations with oppressive regimes and are constantly engaged in attempts to increase democracy in their countries. The close to two-dozen foundations that the Open Society works with receive no more than a third of their finances from the Society, so as prevent co-dependence and conflicts of interest. Over the last two-and-a-half decades, the total funds given through the Open Society stand at approximately $12 billion, about of George Soros's current net worth and more information click here.
George Soros has also been engaged in a lot of political activity in the United States, especially in the last 15 years. While America does not have the same challenges with Democratization as many of the other countries Soros works in, there are still many who are denied their civil liberties and subjected to oppression. At the national level, he has provided financial support to one side of the political divide on the last four occasions. With President George Bush seeking re-election in 2004, Soros gave political contributions to his challenger hoping to prevent him from retaking the presidency. Despite Bush winning the election, the experience left Soros wiser and he soon after decided to form the Democratic Alliance – a collection of big like-minded political donors and George Soros's lacrosse camp.
The last year has been a very busy one on the political and philanthropic front for George Soros. In late 2016, he was among those who strongly spoke against the possible election of Donald Trump as president. As a result, he donated about $25 million to various Democratic Party candidates with the aim of frustrating Trump's ambitions. Additionally, shaken by the rise of anti-immigrant and anti-refugee hysteria in both the United States and Europe, and at one time having been a refugee, Soros committed $500 million to go towards various immigrant and refugee empowerment programs all around the world. Additionally, he has also put some $10 million towards fighting the rising cases of hate crimes in America over the last year and Follow him at Twitter.com.

Feeling Funky on Friday – Marketing in the Wild West
A great tune by the Heavy giving a real cowboy feel, perfect to get us working hard to finish up a good week. Here it is for your enjoyment as well. Hope it's been a good week and have a great weekend!


text:
After all, there's certainly nothing wrong with social media. In modern day society, it's almost vital to survive. But we want to make sure we are still living an authentic life to the fullest.
I've compiled a list of my favorite techniques and divided them into days of the week for your convenience. After a week of practicing these, you will notice a change in your habits.
MONDAY:When you wake up, don't check your phone immediately. Get out of bed, have breakfast, get ready, and then you can check it. But it shouldn't be the first thing you see in the morning. When you start your day in a virtual world, the rest of your day is probably going to continue in that world.
TUESDAY:Post something to one of your social media pages and don't check it after. Just post it. Don't refresh to see who commented your photo and how many likes you have. Just post for once without overdoing it.
WEDNESDAY:Today, when you use the internet, use it to read interesting articles and current events. Email important people. Make a positive change. Spend more time working and less time playing.
THURSDAY:If you find yourself in public with nothing to do, DON'T go on your phone. Read a magazine, observe the world around you, or just talk to the person next to you. But don't go on that phone just because you have a few seconds alone and you don't want to look awkward. Keep in mind this whole "everyone has a smartphone on them 24/7" thing is somewhat new.
FRIDAY:Wore a cute outfit today? Got a soy vanilla latte from Starbucks? Something interesting happen to you? Resist the urge to post about it. Instead, tell someone about your experience. Go out and show your outfit to people. Tell the barista how much you loved the latte. But not posting about it helps us learn. Because yes, things actually happen and things actually have significance regardless if you posted about it or not.
SATURDAY:When you are out with friends or family, don't look at your phone. Unless you are getting an important call, you shouldn't be even glancing at your phone for a second. Enjoy the moment. AND, when you go to bed tonight? You are free to look at your phone or go on your computer, but not in bed. Using technology such as that in bed makes it harder for us to fall asleep and produces bad habits.
SUNDAY:Today, don't use social media at all. Do something special.
After this one full week of approaching social media and technology differently, decide what habits you're going to leave behind and which habits you want to take with you. My personal favorite exercise is Thursday. I think a lot of the time when we find ourselves in public with nothing to do, we immediately go to our phones cause that's what the majority of other people are doing. We don't want to find ourselves in awkward conversations and we want to avoid human contact. However, I think when I resist the urge to pull out my phone, I am fighting the inevitable social media addiction most of us have. I am making the choice to live my life in the present.

Some programs ended because of low attendance
By ANDREA CASTILLO
Editor's note: This is the first in an occasional series examining the effects of Peach County's transition to a four-day school week.
For several community groups and churches in Fort Valley and Byron, good intentions were not enough to sustain Monday programs that emerged in answer to Peach County's four-day school week.
In late July, just weeks before the school year was set to begin, the Peach County Board of Education announced that classes would meet Tuesday through Friday to save about $400,000 in transportation and operational costs.
Several community groups and churches throughout the county responded, offering Monday programs for students. But they shut down almost as quickly as they appeared because student attendance was not high enough to offset the cost.
Earlier in the school year, the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Georgia Heartlands offered a Monday program. For $10 a day, parents could leave their children at locations in Fort Valley and Byron for homework help and other activities, Chief Professional Officer Karen Howell said.
However, the Boys & Girls Club was able to offer the Monday program for only a month because it never had the enrollment of at least 25 students at each Peach County location to cover expenses. Howell attributes that to several factors, including transportation issues with students who otherwise may have participated.
"With such short notice everyone was given — parents, clubs, day care — it was harder for us and parents to make arrangements for it," Howell said.
Next year, the group plans to better plan and publicize a Monday program by telling parents of children in summer programs about options available during the school year. As a result, Howell hopes to see more children at the Boys & Girls Club in the fall.
While efforts to have a Monday program at the Boys & Girls Club this year were unsuccessful, a Monday tutoring program at Byron Baptist Church for elementary and middle school students has seen steady attendance throughout the fall semester.
About 30 students regularly attend the program for $15 a day from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., said Thad Parker, student pastor at the church, who runs the program. About twice that many students are registered with the program.
"One goal was to make it more affordable than established day cares," Parker said.
Local teachers help staff the Monday tutoring program and assist students with schoolwork. Parents also can use the church's existing day-care program beyond those hours. On Mondays, students have the option of participating in a community children's choir from 3 to 4 p.m.
Parker said the church's pastor, Jesse Fortson, has made contact with Superintendent Susan Clark, as well as several teachers and principals in Peach County, to begin developing a relationship that would allow the groups to coordinate assignments and resources, particularly for high-needs or at-risk students in the program.
"It's not just day care, so they can actually see a positive impact in their academic as well as spiritual well-being," Parker said.
Another church, Byron United Methodist, decided to offer a Monday care option to parents, charging $20 a day for the program. Doing so was relatively easy because the church already offers a summer day camp, Camp Vinson Valley, said Andy Moore, the camp's director,
The new school year began on the heels of Camp Vinson Valley, so the church still had space, supplies and staff available. Even though the church was prepared to offer the program, only 12 students attended the first day. Moore said the church needed 30 to 35 participants to keep going, and the program closed down after the first Monday it opened.
"We weren't sure of the number that we would have every week," Moore said. "It didn't seem like there was enough interest in the program."
Moore figured parents chose less costly options, such as leaving children with family members.
"Parents probably feel they shouldn't have been paying for another day of day care when they should have been in school," he said. "They made arrangements for other things."
While many of the options disappeared as quickly as they emerged, Moore said it was great that so many groups showed the initiative to provide options for students and parents.
"It was pretty remarkable all the groups that were able to put programs together so quickly," Moore said. "It was really good to be able to do that. It obviously shows the Board of Education that groups are looking after the kids."
Some parents in Peach County, such as Chad Heath, have not had to rely on outside Monday care options.
Because Heath works from home, he is able to look after one of his daughters, a sixth-grader at Byron Middle School. His 4-year-old daughter attends a Head Start program during the week, including Monday.
"It really hasn't been much of a burden on us. I can imagine it being difficult for some parents," he said.
A number of people Heath knows also rely on family members to look after children. Others have continued existing day care arrangements.
While Heath is able to watch his daughter on Mondays, it hasn't always been easy.
"It's great to have her home on Monday. I'm in a position for her to be here, but I would rather her be in school," Heath said. "Twelve-year-olds are 12-year-olds, especially when you mix a 12-year-old with a 4-year-old. It gets kind of hectic."
