Apprenticeship Week 2017: work-based pathways
SDS Chief Executive Damien Yeates talks to Heriot-Watt University Principal Professor Richard A Williams OBE about the potential of work-based learning and new apprenticeships
Principal Professor Richard A Williams - Heriot-Watt University
Damien Yeates: Across Scotland, there are great ambitions for the future of skills development aligned to meeting industry needs through work-based learning and apprenticeships. Why is Heriot-Watt getting involved in Graduate Level Apprenticeships?
Professor Williams: Graduate Level Apprenticeships (GLAs) offer an exciting new approach to skills development. Providing individuals with the opportunity to increase their professional skills and enhance their career prospects while earning and studying to degree level, offers a highly efficient and effective way to meet the needs of industry.
At Heriot-Watt University, we have a long heritage of working closely with industry and transferring this knowledge into social and economic impact. As a world-leading educational institution, we are keenly aware of the skills needed in various sectors of the Scottish economy.
We believe GLAs offer an important new way to help meet those needs in a manner that is consistent with our mission of widening access to our professional and vocational qualifications. GLAs will give us the opportunity to work with some of Scotland's leading organisations to combine academic knowledge with skills development in the workplace to the benefit of the Scottish economy. Given our broad international base, students will also gain an understanding of the latest global frontiers in industrial practice in their chosen specialist area.
SQA supports Scottish apprentices
Interview: Still waters for Calmac
How do you see Graduate Level Apprenticeships enriching and building upon our existing skills and education systems?
GLAs are not just about day release from work to come to university, or distance learning in the evenings after work. They are about developing new practices of work-based learning that integrate academic thinking with learning, skills and knowledge that is developed through effective practice in the workplace. New curriculums and pedagogies will be built. These are interesting concepts that will, over time, enrich and extend our educational models. GLAs also complete the 'apprenticeship family' in a way that sets out a clear pathway through vocational and work-based education to the same degree outcome as the conventional route through university.
In Germany, Switzerland and many other countries where investment in work-based pathways is high, youth unemployment is low. What can we learn from these examples?
These countries have successful economies from which we should seek to learn, whilst also recognising how distinct they are from the Scottish economy. Increased engagement between the education sector and employers, facilitated where necessary by government, is clearly a priority. Apprenticeships in whatever form are attractive as they provide the skills companies need and, for the individual, act as a stepping stone into the labour market.
This is particularly key when addressing youth unemployment. Several EU member states have shaped policies that make vocational education and training qualifications attractive and of a high quality, yet only one in 10 enterprises across Europe currently trains apprentices. To actively address youth unemployment, we need to address this disparity first and encourage industry to invest in more apprenticeships as a way of bringing new talent into the workforce and upskilling existing personnel.
Here in the UK and Scotland, we continue to place great emphasis on the prestige of a university degree, yet recent research from the CIPD shows that half of all graduates are leaving university to work in a non-graduate position whilst burdened with significant debt. GLAs are opening up another option for professionals to access a high-quality education and develop desirable and relevant skills without pausing their careers.
Should the education system be more closely aligned with industry and, if so, how do we overcome the barriers?
While national initiatives to more closely align education with industry are growing, there still exists barriers at a local level. It is essential that local government, schools, higher education and industry invest and collaborate to increase skills that are in demand in local economies as well as looking at the national picture. Curriculum collaboration is key as well as promoting vocational routes through higher education. At Heriot-Watt University, we have a long heritage of translating impactful research into professionally-oriented education which is why we are committed to delivering a large cohort of GLAs.
There is a longstanding debate about the value of academic and work-based learning. Is such a distinction still relevant, and if it exists, how can Graduate Level Apprenticeships bridge the gap?
Over the last 30 years, the engagement of higher education with the development of workplace skills has grown significantly and how it is facilitated in educational institutes is demonstrated by its distinct pedagogies. Drawing such a distinction today is an outdated concept. What we must ensure in our approach to work-based learning is that we put quality at its core.
For it to be effective and to achieve increased esteem, the experience and outcomes for the student and employer must be central to its delivery. At Heriot-Watt University, we have placed quality and relevance at the heart of our GLA development plans.
Increasingly, research shows that work-based learning widens access to higher education, increases adult participation and develops the capabilities and skills sets of organisations and individuals. What GLAs will do is bridge the gap for those students who would not otherwise have considered going to university, whether that is because of financial reasons, their availability to study or a lack of opportunity on leaving school.

If your teacher has asked you to revise a paper so that it features "inclusive language," take heart in the fact that you face a relatively simple revision. As the prefix implies, inclusive language includes everyone and excludes no one.
Changing Male References
Inclusive language most often refers to gender-neutral language. As such, any reference to "he," "him," "man" and "men" should be substituted for a gender-neutral word in a sentence that refers to an individual or individuals that could be either male or female.
Making Substitutions
Sentences with sexist pronouns can be made inclusive by changing them to plural. Instead of writing, "A dedicated student takes his homework seriously," write, "Dedicated students take their homework seriously." The suffix "man" might sneak up on you but can easily be substituted with inclusive language. For example, write "firefighter" instead of "fireman"; write "salesperson" or "sales representative" instead of "salesman"; and write "letter carrier" instead of "mailman."
Accepting Some Exceptions
Striving for inclusive language is a worthy goal, but it's not worth creating neologisms, such as writing "person hole covers" instead of "manhole covers," or unwittingly creating confusion, such as writing "chair" – an object – instead of "chairman." Most people -- females included -- probably won't blanch over a reference to "man-made" materials. And it's unlikely that colleges and universities will forgo references to their "freshman" class. Ask your teachers where they prefer to draw the line on inclusive language. You might find that they caution you to avoid obvious exclusionary references, such as finding someone to "man" the bake sale counter or "man" the computer lab. But they might be divided on familiar words such as "mankind." Some teachers might accept it while others might uphold a strict standard on inclusive language so that you must change it to "human beings" or "humanity" instead.

ZBB Collaborates With Facility Gateway Corporation to Deliver Commercial-scale Solution for Distributed Storage With Onsite Renewables
ZBB Collaborates With Facility Gateway Corporation to Deliver Commercial-scale Solution for Distributed Storage With Onsite Renewables
MILWAUKEE, WI--(Marketwired - May 22, 2013) - ZBB Energy Corporation (NYSE MKT: ZBB), the leading developer of intelligent, renewable energy power platforms and hybrid vehicle control systems, today announced the successful commissioning of a 'first ever' ZBB EnerSection™ with lead acid batteries in a utility-owned demonstration facility with onsite solar PV and wind turbine generation. The system includes the ZBB EnerSection 125kW bi-directional inverter and ZBB EnerSection DC inputs for regulating power flows to and from four lead acid battery sets. The installation will demonstrate the numerous economic, operational, strategic and environmental value streams accomplished by prioritizing and optimizing renewables in unison with peak grid usage in distributed locations.
"The battery bank will be used to offset peak loads on the Hoback B feeder by discharging into the feeder during peak periods. Charging will be done during off-peak hours. That cycling will reduce our system losses, reduce our peak demand charges, and improve efficiency on our system," explained Warren Jones, Distribution Engineer on the project for Lower Valley Electric Co-op (LVE). "We are working on integrating monitoring and control of the ZBB platform into LVE's SCADA system (System Control and Data Acquisition) that will allow us to optimize use of the battery bank with our transmission and distribution system as renewable energy output varies."
The sale and commissioning was completed in collaboration with Facility Gateway Corporation (FGC), which provides professional data center services and management solutions in all 50 US states. FGC provides additional services through its Data Center Real Estate Services Division, Data Center Design Division, Equipment and Installation Division, and Critical Facility Management Division.
The ZBB EnerSection provides a completely integrated energy management platform ready to interconnect for the requirements for distributed grid regulation by utility companies. "We decided to work with ZBB based upon their proven background with grid interactive power conditioning systems. Knowing that they have worked previously with a variety of storage technologies, including their ZBB EnerStore™ systems, greatly reduces our risk and time to market for a turn-key system," said Robert Walker, Project Lead for FGC.
"Distributed energy resource systems offer the best near-term set of value streams for the utility industry and end-users with onsite generation. The ZBB EnerSystem™ platform represents the future of this fast-growing trend, as the most streamlined and flexible design for this type of integration," said Eric Apfelbach, ZBB Energy President and CEO. "We believe this is the most efficient way to have seamless management of renewable energy, grid power and energy storage. This installation also demonstrates that the ZBB EnerSection can work with multiple types of storage and that no one storage type is the definitive product for all applications and markets."
About ZBB Energy Corporation
ZBB Energy Corporation (NYSE MKT: ZBB) designs, develops, and manufactures advanced energy storage, power electronic systems, and engineered custom and semi-custom products targeted at the growing global need for distributed renewable energy, energy efficiency, power quality, and grid modernization. ZBB and its power electronics subsidiary, Tier Electronics, LLC, have developed a portfolio of integrated power management platforms that combine advanced power and energy controls plus energy storage to optimize renewable energy sources and conventional power inputs whether connected to the grid or not. Tier Electronics participates in the energy efficiency markets through their hybrid vehicle control systems, and power quality markets with their line of regulation solutions. Together, these platforms solve a wide range of electrical system challenges in global markets for utility, governmental, commercial, industrial and residential end customers. Founded in 1986, ZBB's platforms ensure optimal efficiencies today, while offering the flexibility to adapt and scale to future requirements. ZBB's corporate offices and production facilities are located in Menomonee Falls, WI, USA with offices also located in Perth, Western Australia. For more information, visit: www.zbbenergy.com.

About us
Please note that our Essex Road showroom and Hertfordshire warehouse are now by appointment only. Please call to make arrangements
Tel: 0207 704 0982
The Architectural Forum Ltd by Jason and Nadine Davies, was established in 1988 and has since strived to offer the best architectural salvage at a very competitive price. We are proud to offer honest, friendly advice and assistance, whatever you may be looking for.
Why Salvage?
At The Architectural Forum, we are very conscious of the importance of reclaiming and salvaging, and the positive impact on our global resources and environment. We believe it is imperative to reclaim, refurbish and reuse as much as possible, as this puts less pressure on resources and stops the items simply going to landfill. With our emphasis on refurbishing and restoring, we are proud to be preserving the valuable skills of yesteryear, and giving antique items a second life and a chance to be appreciated by future generations.
How does it work?On the surface, the process of salvaging parts from an old building can seem relatively straightforward, but it is often a very challenging and pressured task, full of complications! Once onsite, Jason and the team often have very little time to recognise and remove the key pieces that are of salvageable and saleable condition. Sometimes, as beautiful and historically interesting as they may be, pieces cannot be saved as they would take far too long to restore, or take too much room in storage.
Once the salvage is removed, they are taken to one of our premises for restoration. Restoration and refurbishment of all iron items, including cast iron fireplace inserts, fixtures and fittings, and cast iron radiators, is done at our Southgate Road workshop. Reclaimed stonework is repaired by Architectural Forum's in-house mason. Wooden items are repaired and re-polished, and some may be repurposed or re-crafted into a new item. Old, redundant, Victorian window frames, for example, are up-cycled into charming, large mirrors by glazing them with new mirror glass.
Architectural Forum also has a network of specialist craftspeople who can assist in the restoration of other items, for instance, replacing broken globe lanterns in early Victorian street lamps.
Trustworthy Provenance
We have been involved in some pretty spectacular salvage jobs, including removals from the British Museum, Tate Britain, the Tower of London and several prestigious London houses. Jason, along with Ted, from our sister company V&V Reclamation, took part in the salvaging of architectural pieces from the Baltic Exchange which is now home to the Gherkin. This turned out to be the largest salvage of any building in Europe since the original London Bridge was sold to Arizona in 1967!
Architectural Forum has been in the vanguard of developments concerning standards within the UK architectural salvage industry. We strongly believe in maintaining high standards in the purchasing of stock and we support the UK's only code for dealers of architectural salvage, the Salvo Code (Cert No 131), as well as Salvo Theft Alerts. You can recognise Salvo Code dealers by the Crane logo:
As Featured in...
You may already be familiar with the Architectural Forum showroom, as it has had several TV and book appearances in the past few years. Our TV credits include Channel 4's Grand Designs and Kirstie's Handmade Homes, where Jason sold Kirstie some antique door knobs, and BBC2's The Reclaimers, where Nadine was seen selling Stella McCartney's spiral staircase.
Architectural Forum has also been featured in several books on architectural salvage and reclamation such as:
The Reclaimers - A Complete Guide to Salvage by Sally Bevan
How to Make the Best Use of Salvage - A Practical Guide to Reclamation by Barty Phillips

LANDesk Software Wins in Three Categories of Tomorrow's Technology Today 2011 Awards
LANDesk recognized for innovation in asset management, endpoint security and patch management
Mar 07, 2011, 09:00 EST
SALT LAKE CITY, March 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- LANDesk Software, a global leader in systems lifecycle management, endpoint security and IT service management, today announced that Info Security Products Guide has named LANDesk a triple winner of the 2011 Tomorrow's Technology Today Award in the asset management solutions, endpoint security solutions and patch management categories. This marks the second year in a row that LANDesk has won in all three categories.
This prestigious award recognizes security vendors with advanced, ground-breaking technologies and solutions that are helping set the bar higher for others in all areas of information security. LANDesk technologies were selected based on their positive impact on security in today's highly sophisticated and blended attacks environment.
"IT departments are more complex than ever before–security management is a full-time necessity as the number of threats, targeted attacks, applications, mobile devices and compliance demands continues to grow," said Mike Hall, senior vice president of sales and marketing at LANDesk Software. "At LANDesk, we make it easy for IT administrators to monitor security threats across multiple applications and platforms, including a broad range of mobile devices. Our customers can discover, manage and secure devices from any location, whether within their corporate network or in the cloud."
LANDesk® Management Suite was named the winner in the Asset Management Solution category based on robust capabilities that enable IT staff to manage, update, protect and control all software and hardware assets–regardless of location–from a single console. As part of LANDesk Management Suite, LANDesk® Mobility Management allows IT staff to manage and secure any device that connects to the network including iPads, iPhones, Android, and other mobile devices. It also gives IT administrators the power to remove data from multiple devices in case of a security breach.
LANDesk® Security Suite won the Endpoint Security Solution category for its multi-layered approach that offers more integration and threat protection for Windows and Mac systems than other solutions. The latest version of LANDesk Security Suite includes updated anti-spyware engines, Device Control Management (DCM) and software management.
"Probably nothing differentiates any product or solution more than the superior technologies that make them suitable for today's needs while pro-actively being ready for tomorrow too," said Rake Narang, editor-in-chief, Info Security Products Guide. "Threats are possible in many different disguised forms so security awareness is key to a proactive approach."
LANDesk® Patch Manager was named the winner in the Patch Management category based on its ability to effectively distribute patches across heterogeneous networks. LANDesk Patch Manager automates vulnerability assessment and patch management for both operating systems and applications; and then remediates them within minutes so that IT administrators can guarantee baseline security, stability and performance.

So says Mediabistro. The network will take out an ad in the NYT and the WSJ highlighting Cramer's recent much-played comments on Bear Stearns. To be honest, I have no idea what Cramer was talking about in that first video. To the casual observer it would seem like he was talking about BSC stock. He says he was talking about holding money in BSC... though I wonder why a BSC account holder would be writing into Cramer for advice. My take: no big deal either way, really. Amusing, but overhyped. That being said, love the aggression of FBN, even if it's sorta unwatchable.
Here's a .pdf of the ad that will run.

Bonus options: Successfully complete all 18 missions, then save the game. Load the saved game to unlock the following new options at the main menu. The "Special Continue" option allows the entire game to be replayed with new fighters and weapons, plus the money earned in the first game. The "Free Mission" option allows any mission to be played. The "Trial Mission" option allows the game to be played in either score attack or time attack modes. The "Scene Viewer" allows FMV sequences to be played. The "Music Player" option allows any of the 36 songs in the game to be played. All aircraft: Use the following steps to unlock all aircraft, including special colors. First, acquire an aircraft by destroying it in battle. This is easy, except for three aircraft. Forget the ground targets and dogfight instead, which is the true nature of an ace. You can acquire three different paint schemes for each aircraft. Two of the paint schemes can be acquired by destroying that color aircraft in battle. To acquire the special brightly colored third aircraft, you must find and kill the pilot flying it. On each level of the game there is a single hidden aircraft (eighteen total hidden aircraft). Each one of these aircraft has a specific pilot. When you see the aircraft in front of you and lock on, it will display the pilot's name next to the aircraft name and lock on square. For example, "S-37A SMIRNOVA." The hidden aircraft will not show up on radar until you get nearby. On radar, the aircraft will be marked with a red triangle instead of yellow. Each hidden aircraft is always in the same place on their specific level. This is always in an empty spot on the map away from the main combat zone. The aircraft can usually be found directly behind the main combat zone. Last but not least are the three remaining aircraft. To acquire the Yellow Squadron fighter (SU-37) of your nemesis Yellow-13, you must kill all of the pilots with names flying the special colored aircraft (eighteen total). Unlock X-02 Stealth: To unlock the X-02 Stealth, get an "S" rank on all 18 missions under normal mode. Unlock Tiger Striped F-4E: You can get the Tiger Striped F-4E by completing the game once under any difficulty setting, then using the Sp. Continue option. To unlock the second X-02 aircraft you must get an "S" rank on all eighteen missions under the hard difficulty setting. The third X-02 is unlocked by getting an "S" rank on all eighteen missions under the expert difficulty setting. Information in this section was contributed by Robert Bell. Alternate colors: Successfully complete the game in ace mode. Note: You may also need to obtain S-class for all missions. Information in this section was contributed by Peter Hsu. Hint - Aircraft list: The following is a complete aircraft list (in order): Information in this section was contributed by Golgo-13. F-4E (fighter) Blue Camo Tiger Stripes F-5E (fighter) Sky Camo Gray Camo Sea-Green (Wang) level 1 F-16C (fighter) White w/ Blue Stripes (Tempel) level 3 A-10A (attacker) Camo Desert Camo Silver (Ciffred) level 2 MIR-2000 (fighter) White w/ Blue Stripes (Rigaux) level 4 F-14A (fighter) Black (LEVY) level 6 TND-ID5 (attacker) Green Camo Yellow Stripes (De Vico) level 7 F/A-18C (multirole) Desert Camo Yellow (Vrisala) level 8 F-15C (fighter) Green-Gray Camo Blue-Silver (Tuttle) level 9 MIG-29A (fighter) Red (Mrkos) level 5 F-117A (attacker) Black Camo Winter Camo (Kwee) level 16 EF-2000 (fighter) Brown Camo White with red stripes (Olmstead) level 15 R-M01 (multirole) White with blue stripes (Faye) level 10 F-15E (multirole) Blue Tiger Stripes (Gunn) level 13 F-2A (attacker) White with red stripes (Urata) level 12 SU-35 (fighter) White with blue and red stripes (Neujmin) level 11 F-22A (fighter) Gray (Abell) level 14 SU-37 (fighter) Gray Camo with yellow wing tips (Yellow Squadron) F-15ACTIVE (fighter) White with blue andred stripes (Halley) level 17 S-37A (fighter) Silver Camo (Smirnova) level 18 X-02 (multirole) (last aircraft)

The Labour councillors for the Woodstock ward in Kingswood have written to First Bus to protest against the firm's decision to axe the 17A route that runs through their ward and to ask the operator to reconsider its decision. The axe is due to fall on 4 September.
Councillors Andy Perkins, Gareth Manson and Pat Rooney (pictured) have pointed out that the 17 and 17A routes are relatively new, and that local people need some consistency with the public transport being offered.
In their letter to First Bus the councillors say:
"This withdrawal will particularly affect residents in the Courtney Road, Westons Way and Cock Road areas and will deprive them of direct access to key destinations including Kingswood and Keynsham shopping areas and Southmead and Cossham hospitals.
Woodstock ward has suffered from an inconsistency of bus route operation in recent years. The Wessex route 532 which traversed the ward was withdrawn, followed by their 533 route. First Bus's 17 & 17A routes are relatively new creations and were meant to plug some of the service gap that our constituents have faced. Now the withdrawal of the 17A is being implemented very soon after its inception and this will worsen access to public transport.
We urge you to reconsider this cut and to provide some consistency in running the routes that you devise, and on which residents rely."

Most drivers claim they are excellent drivers, yet time and time again they are victims in terrible car crashes. These accidents can leave a wake of severe property damage and bodily injury. Most people involved in serious accidents resulting in serious injuries have never been in an accident before - even a minor one. This often means that injured victims and their loved ones may not know what to expect after this terrible incident.
It is possible that an insurance company may make you a low offer for a car accident settlement after an automobile collision. However, it may not be in your best interest to accept this offer. Why should an injured party settle their claim for less than it is worth? If you were involved in a car accident, you are the victim and should not suffer any further wrongs after this terrible incident.
This is because serious accidents can leave those involved with serious injuries or even life-long medical conditions. These New Jersey car accidents can occur due to distracted drivers, drunk drivers and even the coveted rear-end accident.
In accidents like these, it is often clear and easy to prove who is mostly at fault for the accident. In these scenarios, insurance companies may offer a low-ball number that is much below what an injured person financially deserves. Our law firm has helped past clients successfully recover the compensation owed to them.
While there are many ways an accident occur, there are only a few ways to recover from financial devastation it may have caused. Medical expenses, property damage and lost wages are just a few financial hardships an injured person may have endured after a car accident. Serous injuries may change a driver's course of life forever.
To learn more, check out our law firm's website. This could provide general information for accident victims and their loved one. Additionally, this could help individuals make informed decisions, protecting their rights and options.

The What Would an HIV Doula Do? collective will host a participatory workshop on the interconnecting issues of health, history, identity, culture and care through the lens of the ongoing AIDS crisis. Using oral history, group discussion, a timeline activity, and the art of asking questions, collective members will lead the group in an exploration of future possibilities, current realities, and past impacts. People living with HIV, and those providing related care are encouraged to attend.
The What Would the HIV Doula Do? collective is a community of artists, activist, academics, chaplains, doulas, health care practitioners, nurses, filmmakers, AIDS Service Organization employees, dancers, community educators, and others from across the movement joined in response to the ongoing AIDS Crisis. We understand a doula as someone in community who hold space for others during times of transition. For us, HIV is a series of transitions in someone's life that does not start with being tested or getting a diagnosis, nor end with treatment or death. Foundational to our process is asking questions.

Background information: Many people falsely believe the Mormon church advocates polygamy. The church outlawed polygamy in 1890. Any member of the Mormon church who gets caught practicing polygamy will be excommunicated. There are religions that share almost identical beliefs with the Mormon church that do practice polygamy, but Mormons are very adamant about not being associated with them. Please just keep this in mind.
I think that polygamy should be legalized, but with regulations. Regulations would include requiring the parties of the marriage to be consenting adults.
Many people associate polygamy with older men marrying girls who are minors and basically committing statutory rape. As stated above, the parties would have to be consenting adults, not an adult and a minor. However, keep in mind that polygamy and statutory rape are not directly related. You can't judge polygamy as a whole based on the poor choices of a few polygamist groups. Also, statutory rape can occur in a standard nuclear family situation just as easily as it can in a polygamist family situation.
Polygamy in and of itself does not harm anyone. Yes, statutory rape and cult-like behavior that can be found with some cases of polygamy can be harmful, especially to children, but those are two completely different issues. A consenting man being married to two consenting women and having children who are not abused in any way does not infringe anyone's rights.
While I personally would not choose to lead a polygamist lifestyle, I don't see how the government or any person has the right to tell someone who does want to practice polygamy that they can't.
Thank you to whoever accepts this debate :)
If this were now expanded to polygamy, things would be turned on their head. Not that the mechanisms could not be developed otherwise, but the default is so engrained it would take a lot of doing to change things. Consider headaches with verifying that a domestic partner is really a domestic partner for those types of benefits. Now, multiply that to 3 spouses; how do we know it is not a multiple marriage just to reap the benefits? Do we now expand domestic partner benefits to multi-non-spouse households?
Socially speaking the ratio of men and women are roughly equal, When a one man/woman decides to acquire more spouses. It would leave many other women and men would essentially be left with no hope of finding a potential mate.
Another rebuttal was not that it was immoral per se, Rather polygamy rendered polygamous men unfit for democracy by accustoming them to habits of command and obedience. The a polygamous male would essentially be a kind of petty tyrant who lacked the cultural prerequisites for democratic self-government. This is why anti-polygamy legislation was also tied up with the refusal to admit Utah as a state, the disenfranchisement of polygamists (and in some jurisdictions all Mormons, monogamous or other wise), etc.
Yes, the systems could be adjusted to fit polygamous marriages as well as monogamous, and yes, it would take a good deal of work but I think it's necessary. It took a lot of time, effort, and adjustment during the Civil Rights Movement to get blacks and other minorities the rights they deserved, but it was something that had to be done in order to protect everyone's rights. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the United States Constitution does not give anyone an actual right to marry. Different court cases have come to different conclusions about different aspects and types of marriage, but I believe that the right to marry goes hand in hand with the pursuit of happiness idea in the Declaration of Independence. Everyone deserves to be able to marry the person they love and want to commit to, as long as it doesn't harm others. (For example, an incestuous marriage would potentially harm a child born from that marriage [1]).
"How do we know it is not a multiple marriage just to reap the benefits?"
The truth is we won't know. But this isn't unique to polygamy; marriage fraud happens all the time for an assortment of reasons.
"It would leave many other women and men would essentially be left with no hope of finding a potential mate."
Let's say Ben is a single man who wants a monogamous marriage, and Lucy is a woman who is also single but wants a polygamous marriage. Ben and Lucy get along really well, but they want different types of relationships, so Lucy isn't going to want to marry Ben anyway. Worrying about people finding mates is pointless because people who want to be polygamists are still going to want to be polygamists whether it is legal or not. It's similar to gay marriage: a lesbian is just not going to want to marry a man, even though gay marriage isn't legal either.
"Polygamy rendered polygamous men unfit for democracy by accustoming them to habits of command and obedience."
Do you have proof that polygamy causes men to become accustomed to the habits of command and obedience? Regardless, this isn't something that is unique to polygamy. Every marriage, polygamous or monogamous, and every person, polygamist or monogamous, is different, so generalizing in this way doesn't accurately represent polygamy.
My argument is not about whether polygamy is right or wrong, it is whether it should be legalized or not. It should be legalized because marriage is a way that people pursue their happiness. It's very important for government to maintain a balance between the majority's rule and the minority's rights. In the case of polygamy, this hasn't been done. The majority of Americans would not choose to be polygamous, but a minority would, and should be able to legally marry.
1. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...
Only the most wealthy man can afford it, but many others won't realize it and will take on too many wives and children and then expect the government to take care of them. The FLDS polygamous Mormon sect took in millions in government money to keep going.
In all honesty I could care less about what the religious or cultural issues are. But when it comes to the legalization something, morality must be taken into some account. When it comes to polygamy, on the moral side statistically there is little evidence that polygamous marriages are successful. Often the polygamized party is forced into an internal caste system where in some cases the favored wife is given the majority of the income, forcing other wives to essentially beg for the money. The original Husband usually gives little care to his offspring and children, as with many cases of polygamy in which the know little of their father other than someone to be feared. In general, even if it is not the main point, morality is something that cannot be avoided.
Where is your evidence of polygamous marriages specifically not working? Unfortunately, there isn't much evidence that any type of marriage is very successful with such high divorce rates in the United States.
It seems as though many arguments you've made against polygamy are situations that are anything but unique to polygamy. A traditional family setting can result in divorce, abuse and other less than desirable circumstances.
Delirious forfeited this round.

Tri-City Toys for Tots needs last minute donations as it prepares to help thousands of children in Benton and Franklin counties.
It needs toys for boys and girls ages 9 to 12, said Glen Carter, local area coordinator.
He suggested items such as basketballs, footballs, soccer balls, hair accessories, mp3 players and art sets.
Donations can be dropped off at the Toys "R" Us near the Columbia Center mall and the Marine Corps recruiting office at 8390 W. Gage Blvd., across from Costco.
They'll be accepted through Christmas Eve, although the biggest toy distributions are Dec. 19 and 20, Carter said.
Tri-City Toys for Tots provided toys to about 6,000 needy kids in the Tri-City area last year.

Keywords: Gulf Coast Beach Resort Condo
We had three adults and one child and the space was just right. The condo is pretty big compared to other 2 bedrooms we've rented. The kitchen accommodated all our cooking needs, we had several meals there for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I highly recommend this unit to other people.
Our stay was fabulous!!! We love Portofino. Tommy's property is beautiful and so accommodating. This is the second time we have rented from him. The whole resort is gorgeous and the staff is so friendly. We will definitely be back! Going anywhere else would be just drab! Love all the activities and things for the kids to do here.
Everything we were looking for! A very comfortable vacation home, pretty much had everything we needed. Gorgeous views to wake up to. Fun to watch all the tennis matches from the balcony. Great resort for our teenagers too, they had a good time. It was busy during spring break, but everything was available, no waits, not too crowded anywhere.
Just bring your own beach towels.
The only complaints we have are that the resort does not take cash anywhere. The other thing is we would have liked to have extra blankets for the beds/sleeper sofa.
Tommy is great, and the unit is great! We will be back.
We loved the unobstructed view of the intercostal and Range point with the estuary. The condo was easily accessible to the beach , more so than the other towers. The condo was well equipped with necessary kitchen items and nicely decorated . Being previous owners at Portofino and having stayed at all 5 towers. We find this our favorite unit!
We had one small issue which was handled immediately after contacting the owner.
Pensacola Has a Very Large Historic District
This rate includes the Portofino Check In Fee, Daily Amenity Fee, Cleaning Fee and Taxes. Note: If you choose to pay via PayPal with a credit card or PayPal account please add $75 to cover the PayPal fees. Thank you.

This old schoolhouse in Weems, Virginia whispers to me every time I pass it on the way to our river house.
Why? Maybe it's the too much HGTV phenomena spawned by This Old House: see something rundown, pour your resources into it, and presto! it's revived and ready for prime time. Sadly, the only after image for the renovation is in my head. When it was for sale (it actually never sold), I fantasized about turning it into a number of things: tea room/retail destination or maybe moving it onto our property and making it a guest house or my latest brain tempest, a party venue.
Given that Weems is not centrally located, the tea room or party venue is a bit of a stretch. Build it and they will come seems to happen only in the movies, defying the location, location, location commandment of real estate. Moving the structure or tearing it down and rebuilding it brick-by-brick is a project to be pitched to the folks at HGTV but not a practical reality for me unless, of course, we take The Gracious Posse public in a fantastic IPO. Haha. I'd probably change my mind about what to do with the windfall should that happen.
A gal can dream, can't she? We all have dreams and aspirations. The trick is knowing when it's a legitimate moonshot or not, but
Laura Trevey of Bright Bold and Beautiful created this graphic of Earl Nightingale's well-known quote, and since adding it last summer, it has become the most pinned quote on our Gracious Inspiration board.
I think I've put the Old School House dream to rest for now, while I spend my time growing The Gracious Posse, currently my favorite dream. What dream project are you ready to take the time to tackle? We'd love to feature it here.

OncorMed Inc., a Gaithersburg biotechnology start-up firm, is looking for $10 million or so from public investors to help it develop its genetic cancer-testing products.
The year-old company, which is 83 percent owned by Bethesda-based Oncor Inc., filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission Monday to sell as many as 1.67 million shares and warrants in a public offering. The tentative offering price is $6 a share.
The offering is expected in about a month, according to John Coker, chief financial officer of the parent company Oncor, which funded the creation of OncorMed in June 1993. After the offering, which is being managed by Gaines, Berland Inc. of New York, Oncor will own a bit more than 40 percent of OncorMed, he said yesterday.

Staying in the Philippines
With 7,107 islands making up one of the most populated countries in the world, the Philippines are a great place to visit with many attractions on offer. Here are some of the best things to do when visiting.
White Water Rafting – Challenging both mentally and physically, you'll normally finish a day of rafting exhausted but exhilarated. The Philippines has several places which are good for the sport, such as Cagayan de Oro City in the northern part of Mindanao. Rivalling this, and also in Mindanao, is Davao which has become increasingly popular in recent years and is now one of the most visited for the sport in the whole of the Philippines. You'll easily find companies which run rafting days, complete with an instructor and sometimes lunch, as well as all the safety briefs and equipment, all for a reasonable price. Staying in the Philippines
Two of the Best Destinations for a Beach Holiday
The Philippines – The capital, Manila, is a great place to visit to experience culture and history. With museums charting the 7,107 islands' history, including colonisation by the Spanish and, later, the US, it's an interesting insight into one of the most diverse countries in the world. The culture has Spanish and American influences, with the Spanish being seen in many of its place names such as San Antonio. If you're looking for a secluded beach paradise then the Philippines offers them in abundance, with miles and miles of untouched beaches. In the quieter areas you may have to make do with more basic hotels or beach huts (which is perfect if you're travelling on a budget), but there are many luxurious hotels which line the shores and are well worth the money if you can afford to indulge yourself.

The Worlds Best Alternative Surfing Spots
Surfers are a strange lot really. Willing to travel the world, surfboard in tow, put up with treacherous conditions all for one goal; to ride the perfect wave. And the problem is that the perfect wave could be anywhere, but it's a guarantee that once a place with a good break has been found it doesn't stay secret for long. Places like Miami, Indonesia and California can all be overcrowded during the hotter months which can detract from the beauty and idealism of being at one with the ferocity of Mother Nature which surfing gives you. Here are some of the best less crowded surf spots in the world. The Worlds Best Alternative Surfing Spots

Star fillies in supporting cast
VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Two of the best fillies to have ever raced in British Columbia will run in separate races on the B.C. Cup Day card Monday.
The 3-year-old fillies division of the Stallion Stakes should be a coronation for Regal Red. In the B.C. Cup Distaff, Dancewithavixen will be the favorite, but she could have her hands full with a very tough Victor's Secret.
There are seven stakes races and a highly competitive 1 3/8-mile optional starter handicap that make up the 10th renewal of the B.C. Cup. For the first time there will be races that are not restricted to British Columbia-bred horses, and the first race of the day, called the Outsider Purse, drew an excellent field of allowance horses, including Metatron, who has earned $259,000.
In the 3-year-old fillies Stallion Stakes, Regal Red looks on track for her sixth straight victory. In her five previous wins, the closest call she had was when Socorro County came within 4 1/4 lengths of her in the Supernaturel Stakes.
"She had an excellent five-furlong work last week, and she's coming up to the race perfectly," said trainer Robbie Anderson.
Regal Red will be ridden by Frank Fuentes.
Dancewithavixen, who will be ridden by Felipe Valdez, is on a three-race losing streak, but she acquitted herself well when she ran against the boys in two of those races, finishing third behind Lord Nelson in the Hong Kong Jockey Club and second to Roscoe Pito in the John Longden. Back with her own sex, she dead-heated for second behind Hanselina in the Senate Appointee, but she had missed three weeks of training leading into the race and should be fitter for this.
She looked as sharp as ever when she worked five-furlongs in 59.60 seconds July 23.
"She was a little tired after her last race," said her owner and trainer, Tom Longstaff, "but she's bounced back now and should run her race."
The other races on the card are not as clear. Lord Samari should go favored in the colts and geldings division of the Stallion Stakes, but there is not a lot of speed in the field, and Louie Downtown could steal it.
The Sprint is wide open. Bold Texas is coming off of a strong second-place finish in a quickly run allowance race July 4 and could take them a long way from his rail slot. He should have plenty of company up front, though, as Five Point Star figures to move up following his initial start of the year.
Five Point Star has recently changed hands, going to leading trainer Dino Condilenios and he has had two strong works since the change.
The Sprint could set up for the winner of this race last year, Bold 'n Keen, but he is not coming into the race nearly as sharp as last year. Commodore Craig and Silver Donn would also appear to have big shots if they run their best races.
Both 2-year-old races look like competitive affairs. Speed Victor scored an impressive win in his debut last Sunday, and if he can run a similar race coming back this quickly, he will be tough to beat in the Nursery Stakes for colts and geldings. He will have to deal with a very tough Notis Otis, though. Notis Otis has won both of his starts, including the Ladnesian Stakes July 17. Poundmaker finished a couple of lengths behind Notis Otis in the Ladnesian, his first start.
Slewpast should get a lot of support in the Debutante for 2-year-old fillies following a near-miss when she raced three wide and got bumped in midstretch in the Timber Music Stakes.
The Timber Music winner, Fuchsia Gold, also is in the field, as is After the Knight, who was an impressive debut winner last Saturday. Vic's Sweety was a sharp winner on the 3 1/2-furlong Nursery Course on May 15 and has worked smartly leading up to this.

Social media is a whirlwind of Likes, blogs, tweets, emails, IMs, comments, opinions, fact and fiction. Who can keep track?! Fortunately, we took on that challenge when we planned a monitoring strategy for our business, utilizing free analytical tools to measure the status and growth of our ROI. Regardless of how well monitored a company appears, an emergency can break out 24/7 in the social media domain. A social media crisis can spread like wildfire if not caught early enough and extinguished. Bad news travels faster than good so a 911 crisis response plan is imperative. The key to retaining control is to be proactive. Ideally, your company has anticipated, planned, prepared and practiced for the worst.
Acknowledge the situation and determine who or what is impacted.
Be timely, act fast! Clean up as soon as possible. The longer the response time, the greater the probability for negative brand impacts.
Alert, prep and update your employees. They must know at least as much as the public knows. They are your brand advocates and are on the front lines.
Be transparent. Communicate with your audience about what has happened and how the company is handling the situation. Hit all social networks, especially the platform where the setback originated.
Own your mistake(s) and be sorry! Cut out the excuses, no one wants to hear them. A sincere apology may help the brand recover.
Hold onto and copy all data and communication from the situation, so there is documentation of how the situation was handled. This could also serve as a framework for future mishaps.
Evaluate the company response plan. What were the challenges? Make improvements based on lessons learned and prepare for the next inevitable crisis.
Be sure the right people are aware of the modified crisis response plan and its location. Commit to regular social media crisis drills.
When I analyze the above crisis management steps with regards to South Fork Electric, I foresee more word-of-mouth damage. He lives and works in such a small area and social media is just beginning to catch on. Hopefully any dissatisfaction could be handled on a case-by-case basis because my brother wouldn't walk away from a disappointed customer. There is no where for him to hide, including behind a computer or smart phone screen. As a small business owner, the last thing you want to do is upset, disappoint or leave a customer hanging. He must still apply the steps of acknowledgment and communication with a disgruntled customer before the person passes on his disappoint to other potential customers. A tarnished reputation isn't easily fixed.
Neither a social media, nor a word-of-mouth crisis has to resemble a disaster. Both situations are experiences with lessons to learn for future scenarios. Anticipate, plan, prepare and practice. "Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it" (Charles R. Swindoll).
