Mobilizers, in our view, are part coach, part union shop steward, part social director.
DSA's growth in the last year, and its expansion of organizing work, is one of the most exciting developments in the US left in recent years. But for that growth to translate to sustainable, durable power we will need to radically transform and democratize our internal organizing structures to ensure that our chapters are built on deep, transformative relationships and that new members' interests, concerns and passions are reflected in their organizing work. We see member mobilizers - a system that has been developed thus far in both New York City and Philadelphia, and is attracting interest in other large chapters - as a key component to the organizational cohesion and growth of DSA. Mobilizers, in our view, are part coach, part union shop steward, part social director. Their work is the lifeblood of chapter democracy, and the muscle of our organizational power.
We offer this friendly addition of practical guidelines to the Spring Platform Mobilizers Priorities Resolution to include other considerations in the development of this program, but endorse their resolution fully and enthusiastically.
A set of specific goals
All chapters with membership above 100 have a mobilizer system by the end of the year
Goal: total of 1,000 mobilizers nationally trained by the end of the year
Establish a national membership development committee with the purpose of overseeing and assessing our membership leadership development and growth
- The membership development committee will support the new chapter mentorship program, which matches experienced organizers with new chapters and OCs in development.
The committee will work with local chapters via their mentors to help them develop goals that make sense for them for chapter growth.
There will be a special emphasis on supporting chapters with less than 200 members in growing to build critical mass in their local community
The membership development committee will make an assessment on mobilizer program progress after 6 months, and present recommendations for changes to the NPC
We see the role of mobilizers as
- Internal organizing + relationship building
Identify membership needs for training, political education and social events, ensuring that chapter programmatic decisions are informed by newer members that are less institutionally tied to the chapter. Newer members are also well situated to help the chapter maintain a welcoming culture that is capable of bringing in further new members, especially members outside the mainstream of the organization (for example, if an organization is predominantly mid-20's to 30's and college educated, older members can best suggest how to make the chapter more age-diverse)
Serve as a communication channel for members at the base up to chapter leadership. Particularly as chapters grow, it can be difficult for new members' voices, priorities, questions and concerns to be heard unless they have pre-existing relationships with leadership. A grassroots structure of communication will ameliorate this issue, further supporting member retention
Help members get more deeply involved in campaign work, base building work, and political education with the hope of ultimately expanding chapters' core base of leaders
Build relationships across different backgrounds/orientations within the organization to strengthen solidarity, understanding and communication across tendencies and communities within the chapter
Build relationships through organizing conversations and small group meetings with members who are outside the activist core of the organization to strengthen their affiliation and commitment to the chapter
One mobilizer for every 10 members in a chapter - 10-20 is generally the number of strong, ongoing relationships that most organizers can maintain in a way that is truly meaningful
- New organizing + chapter growth
- Mobilizers and their mobilizees help build local, neighborhood presence through various outreach, network mapping, and social initiatives
- Maintain the focus on building the largest community possible by making sure potential new members have a friendly, encouraging person to connect with
Help membership map and organize/recruit their own networks so we can maximize the power and capacity of our chapters
Help membership power map the community, drawing from the knowledge and experiences of members to assess opportunities for organizing, campaigns, and challenging local power
Work with members to identify workplace and community issues that resonate with communities with whom we want to build solidarity, where there are opportunities to organize
Accomplishing these goals will require:
Specific support for Mobilizer 'train the trainer' sessions in the regional trainings to build out this system
Chapter mentors to be trained to help new and existing chapters develop mobilizer networks
Monthly mobilizer skills webinars/calls to keep mobilizers up to speed on the national issues, feature stories from mobilizers, and learn new skills and frameworks and to build community
We estimate that this would take the following resources
10% of one staff organizers' time, assuming $45,000 salary: $4,500
Rough estimate of extra funds for 'train the trainer' regional organizing trainings: $10,000
Total estimate: $14,500
DSA must dedicate itself seriously to addressing the challenges of building multi-racial working class solidarity, in a way that is respectful of different communities' histories and struggles, while also building an internal culture capable of effecting personal and collective transformation and interdependence.

Dallas looks for answers in Windy Cityby Adam Schwartz / NHL.com
While kids are out trick or treating at 8:30 p.m., the Dallas Stars, who have stumbled out of the gate, look to get their third win in 4 games when they face off against the Chicago Blackhawks, who are looking to put a halt to their current 2-game slide.
At 10 p.m., the Vancouver Canucks and All-Star goalie Roberto Luongo look for their second shutout in as many nights when they take on the red-hot Anaheim Ducks, who are tied with the League's longest current winning streak at 5 games.
Here's what to watch:
* The Stars, whose defense was thought to be one of the best in the NHL, has yielded the most goals in the League with 40. Dallas, which went to the Western Conference Finals last season, has the worst penalty kill in the Pacific Division with a 74.5 percent success rate.
* Dallas center Mike Ribeiro, who had 3 points in his first 7 games this season, has 7 points in his last 3 games, including a 5-point effort in the Stars' 5-3 win last Thursday against the New York Islanders. Ribeiro, who had a career-high of 83 points last season, is on a 90-point pace this season.
* The Blackhawks, whose penalty kill is tied for sixth in the League with an 86.5 percent success rate, have the worst road power play in the Western Conference with just a 7.1 percent success rate, which translates to 1 goal in 14 attempts. Chicago, which is 1 of 6 teams to have scored multiple 5-on-3 goals this season, is just 2 points behind the Nashville Predators for second place in the Central Division.
* Chicago right wing Martin Havlat, who has played just 91 games the past 2 seasons, is tied for second among Blackhawks with 9 points. Havlat, who has had 4 seasons with at least 50 points, has played more than 20 minutes just 3 times this season and has played less than 15 minutes twice.
* Blackhawks right wing Kris Versteeg, who is playing on a line with Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews, is second in rookie scoring with 8 points in 9 games. Versteeg, selected No. 134 in the 2004 NHL Draft, has not had more than 52 points in a season dating back to his 3 seasons in the Western Hockey League, but he is on pace to get 73 points this season.
* Canucks left wing Mason Raymond, who has recently been switched to a line with Daniel and Henrik Sedin, leads the team with 4 goals. Despite being 6-foot, 182 pounds, Raymond is a speedy wing, whom coach Alain Vigneault has been using on the point during the power play.
* Vancouver center Ryan Kesler leads the team with 10 takeaways, 97 faceoff wins and a 56.1 faceoff-winning percentage. Kesler, who has never had more than 37 points in a season, is tied for the team lead with 9 points this season. In 11 career games against the Ducks, Kesler has scored just 3 goals and has a minus-6 rating.
* Canucks defenseman Alexander Edler, who became a mainstay on the Vancouver blue line last season as a rookie, is tied for the team lead with a plus-4 rating. Edler, who had 20 points in 75 games last season, has 5 points in 9 games already this season while averaging the second most ice time among Vancouver players with 22:46 per game.
* Ducks center Ryan Getzlaf, who had just 1 assist in his first 6 games this season, has 3 goals and 7 assists since then, including a 5-assist game Wednesday in Anaheim's 5-4 overtime victory against Detroit. Getzlaf, who plays on a line with Corey Perry and Chris Kunitz, has played more than 20 minutes in just 3 games this season.
* Anaheim defenseman Francois Beauchemin, who has a career-high of 8 goals, has 4 goals in just 11 games this season. Beauchemin, who plays for the Ducks second power-play unit, has just 1 of his 5 points on the power play this season.

Insights into Parshat Shoftim
Integrity, courage, and discipline
This week's Parsha is Shoftim in Deuteronomy 16:18 – 21:9.
The word Shoftim is often translated as Judges, but more accurately it is like a Tribal Chieftain. The Judge oftentimes makes a ruling and is completely separated from those people that they make the ruling about. Here the Shofet or Shoftim (pl.) related to the Chieftain, they have to deal with the people on a daily basis. If a Judge had to really consider the needs of those people he rules on then maybe there would not but a lot of unfair judgments rendered in family courts dealing with Alimony, Property or Child Support, and I mean in all directions. A chieftain cannot allow himself to become corrupt because it would get taken out of his leadership rule very quickly since he does more than just give a ruling. Verses 16:18-20 speak of righteous judgment. The word for righteous judgment is Tzedek which means charitable. This means not bribes! This means no perversion of justice! No respecter of money, person or their presence which means can also mean their title. Righteous judgment, the fear of a True Judge in Heaven above should help guide the Shofet (judge) to render a proper Judgment.
Judgment is not for one person to decide. This is why there are witnesses to attest to the sins, or crimes. Verse 17:6 says, "By the testimony of two witnesses or three witnesses shall the condemned person be put to death; he shall not be put to death by the testimony of a single witness." One person with hatred would be able to condemn to death an innocent man. How was this resolved? There are two or more witnesses. The next logical question would be "What difference does that make since to can collude to lie about testimony" The ancient Israelites resolved this problem by interrogating the witnesses first individually and then by doing this by bringing them in together. The interrogations were designed to make sure that the witness was not lying. The law stated that if a person tried to get a person killed by this matter than they would be subject to the penalty that they tried to impose on another. It creates an atmosphere where people would not want to bare false witness. In addition, verse 7 says, "The hand of the witnesses hall be upon him first to put him to death, and the hand of the entire people afterward, and you shall destroy evil from your midst." This is a great statement. It helped keep people from bringing false testimony. Most people that want bad things to fall on someone else often times do not have the ability to bring it on about themselves.
Verse 17:15, is wisdom for any nation as it states, "You shall surely set over yourself a king whom HaShem, your G-d, shall choose; from among your brethren shall you set a king over yourself; you cannot place over yourself a foreign man, who is not your brother." The scripture goes on to say that the reason for this is because that person will not operate in the interests of the nation. Care must be used to make sure that the ruler is truly in line with those being ruled or tyranny will result. In addition, the King needs to write the Torah scroll and have it next to him. Any ruler in the world needs to also understand the laws of the land, and more important be subservient himself to those same laws or tyranny will rear its ugly head.
Verse 20:1 is great because HaShem (G-d) tells us to not fear in the face of battle. Why is that? This is because HaShem is with His people. Verse 20:2 about how a Cohen (Priest) must address the warriors before the battle to assure them that HaShem is on their side. Verse 20:3-4 says, "He shall say to them, "Hear, O Israel, you are coming near to the battle against your enemies; let your heart not be faint; do not be afraid, do not panic, and do not be broken before them. 4: For HaShem, your G-d, is the One Who goes with you, to fight for you with your enemies, to save you." This verse is what give the authority and/or tradition for the various military forces of the world to have Chaplains. This is the first instance of Chaplaincy for armed forces.
This Parsha (Section) teaches about what responsibilities people have to each other whether it is the Judges, the King, the Witnesses, or the Chaplains. Integrity, courage, and discipline are needed traits in this world.

Community Solar
Nearly half of households and businesses are unable to install solar, according to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Community solar gives consumers and businesses the opportunity to participate in solar at a lower cost than installing independently due to economies of scale. Through community solar projects, people who rent, have an older home, or otherwise don't have a good site for solar have the opportunity to reduce their energy costs while supporting locally-produced clean energy.
Here's how it works:
A sponsor such as a local utility develops a large-scale community solar project and offers subscriptions to a portion of the power produced by the array and credits the subscriber's monthly energy bill. There are several less common ways to organize a community solar project too — you can learn more about those at the Department of Energy's Sunshot page on community solar.
What are the benefits?
- Maximizes output – Roof size, shade from trees & other buildings, and roof obstructions are not an issue. This allows for the maximum power to be produced.
- Economies of scale – Unlike individual installations, larger projects can take advantage of bulk pricing for materials and services.
- Easy zoning – HOA rules and other building codes are not an issue. Take advantage of solar without having to build an extension on your home or business.
- Construction & maintenance free – Buying into a Community Solar project means never having to deal with construction headaches. Simply buy in and reap the benefits.
- Rent your apartment or house? – Community Solar is great for renters who cannot build on their home or apartment but who still want to reap the benefits of solar.
Building a solar farm
- Each community solar owner can develop their own custom membership and cost model. We can help you customize a program to fit your needs.
- Members can purchase as much or as little solar energy as they desire, subject to individual program rules.
- Power generated from the bought-in portion is credited to the investor in some way. A common practice is using a credit on a subscriber's utility bill.
If you are an electric power utility interested in installing a community solar project, ARiES Solar is a great place to start. In addition to design, project management, and construction, we also offer grant writing services and will advise you on state and federal incentives. Call us at (865) 309-4674 to start the process of providing clean, renewable energy to your community.

The Curator Wears Prada
Givhan, Robin, Newsweek
Byline: Robin Givhan
The Met honors fashion's subversive feminist.
It's mid-March, about two weeks since fashion designer Miuccia Prada finished the marathon of women's fall shows. She has just returned to Milan after a vacation in the mountains, and it's her first day back to work. Dressed in a roomy, gray V-neck sweater, a white shirt with a bejeweled collar and a pair of slim-fitting trousers in an oxblood geometric print, she occasionally fiddles with the gray beret tilted at a droll angle atop her fine brown hair.
Prada takes our meeting in her austere office. The white-walled room is on the third floor of a campus of unattractive structures constructed during a particularly uninspired period of Italian architecture. As offices go--especially among designers, whose headquarters tend to be a grand homage to the brand--Prada's is spare to the point of looking unfinished. The only hint of the company's success--it raised more than $2 billion last year in an initial public offering in Hong Kong--is a three-story metal slide by the artist Carsten Holler. It swirls to the ground from a hole cut in her office floor. It's the perfect metaphor for Prada's desire to escape the constraints of fashion, tradition, and expectations.
This spring, Prada will become the latest designer to be honored at the Costume Institute at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, in a retrospective that pairs her with the great iconoclast Elsa Schiaparelli, who died in 1973. Prada's response to "Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations" has been mixed, in part because the two women are quite different in personality and sensibility. "On one side, I'm very happy. On the other, it's very scary because it's someone else's interpretation," Prada says. "But I decided that of course I'm super happy."
The through line is subversiveness: both designers upended the traditional definition of female beauty for a generation of women. In the case of Prada, her lasting legacy will surely be that she made "ugly" chic.
In the early 1980s, Prada turned industrial black nylon into a symbol of luxury. She lured status seekers into spending stratospheric sums on humble backpacks bearing the triangular Prada insignia. With the launch of women's ready-to-wear in 1988, she coerced the public into casting an admiring gaze on hues of puce, pea-soup green, safety orange, and a shade of brown best described as swamp water. She made wallpaper prints, doily lace, and teddy-bear fur sophisticated and smart. And she sent models on a runway power march wearing clothes inspired by blue-collar uniforms and carrying frame handbags that spoke of grandmothers and linen hankies.
"I didn't want to be restricted to the rules [of high fashion]. I was looking at the colors and homes and other places and elements that were not part of the elitist world of my clients," Prada says. "I also struggled instinctively against the cliche of a beautiful, rich woman." She adds: "I have nothing against a beautiful, rich woman--just the cliche of it."
Prada's work reflects her own struggle with fashion, an ambivalence that many women share--particularly those in positions of power. Her style expresses a high-minded disdain for society's restrictions and a repudiation of idealized beauty. "Those were the two topics that I realized I was always working on," Prada says. "I realized my job is to define--well not to define because that's so pretentious--but to understand: What does it mean? Beauty, today, for a woman?"
It is this knowing dismissal of the rules that marks Prada's work as the height of chic and cool. Her clothes have influenced American brands such as Derek Lam and Proenza Schouler. They've spawned mass-market knockoffs and attracted celebrities from Uma Thurman to Zooey Deschanel. Even "the Devil" has worn Prada.
"Miuccia is one of the most interesting designers working today," says designer and friend Donatella Versace. …

Financing collaborative projects
We help you find financing for your collaboration
Financing is very often a key issue on starting a collaboration. UU Innovation can help to find different forms of financing, give advice, and help to match up the right partners for applications.
Below you can find some examples of the funding opportunities that we ourselves can offer and where you can apply at any time, or in connection with an event or announcement. We also have knowledge of other programs and calls for financing collaboration between academia and businesses. We work closely with the University's EU coordinators and research secretaries to provide the best possible advice on external financing.
Contact us for more information on the options available and see what suits your needs.
Feasibility study funding - to quickly get started
Every year UU Innovation arranges a number of events with a focus on exchange of knowledge on specific issues between university researchers and companies or other organizations. An example of such an event is AIMday, which we organize every year in different thematic areas.
To facilitate a continued exchange of knowledge, UU Innovation offers financing of feasibility studies. A pre-requisite is that moving forward and starting a collaboration is of interest and benefit to both parties. Applying for feasibility study funding is simple and is done in conjunction with the ongoing AIMday event.
Feasibility study projects can be funded with up to 50 000 SEK and this makes it possible to quickly and easily get started with the collaboration. Feasibility study funds can be used to fund the academic party's time and costs for the project.
Collaboration Voucher
For those who work in the humanities and social sciences at Uppsala University and want to arrange a workshop or other meeting with new partners from a private, public or non-profit organisation, UU Innovation provides collaboration vouchers. The purpose is to be able to explore and identify common interests for collaboration. Applications are accepted continuously and financing may be granted up to 30 000 SEK.
Interested and want to know more? Please contact Michael Funke at UU Innovation for more information.
Verification for collaboration
Verification for collaboration, (VFS in Swedish), is a programme to fund early collaborative projects between researchers at Uppsala University and private, public or non-profit organisations. The programme offers an opportunity to get started and to test a partnership in a joint project with mutual interest.
The idea of VFS is to reduce the obstacles that prevent or delay the start of a collaboration. Funding may be granted up to 300,000 SEK per project. The money is paid to the academic party in the project. Collaboration projects can vary in scope and focus but must always be of mutual benefit to the participants.
The VFS program has had one call per year in 2014 to 2016. What's new for 2018 is that applications are accepted continuously.
Impact of research in applications
Writing competitive research applications is a challenge - time is often short, there are many questions, as well as persons and parties, involved. For some forms of research, such as EU funding, you need to describe in the application how the research will be utilised and how it will create benefits – i.e. impact - for society.
Here, we at UU Innovation can help. We cooperate with the University's research secretaries and EU coordinators and together we cover as many aspects as possible. In this way we can create the best possible conditions for research and give you the optimal flexibility to use your research results in the long term. The ability to utilise research commercially is often dependent on the way it is funded and who owns the rights to the results.
From UU Innovation you can get help with, amongst other things:
- tips and advice on different calls
- help in finding the right partners - business and/or organisation - for your application
- help to identify and describe what can be utilised, how and when
- help with issues surrounding the ownership and management of IP
- advice on resources, activities, roles, scheduling and financing of research utilisation
- advice, tools and inspiration for research utilisation
A useful tip
Remember to contact the university's research secretaries, EU coordinators, or us, in good time, for the best assistance with your application.
In Medarbetarportalen you, as a researcher at Uppsala University, can find current calls from both Swedish and international financiers.


text: Many thanks to all that turned up for our annual barbeque on Friday. It was the busiest one I can remember with a sell out on all burgers and hot dogs! I would like to thank our Year 5s for putting on such a fabulous range of entertaining stalls and to our SCOFF team for their organisation. We're still counting the pennies but hope to have raised well over £1000 for the school.

As part of campaign to raise awareness of the LGBT Motorcycle Rider Community in the Philippines, FARR CLUB (Friends Along the Road Riders) has made a team of 3 as a representative of FLAG Riders (Federation of Lesbian and Gay Riders) to join the First Kawasaki Riders Club Philippines 1200 Kilometer in 24 hours Road Rally Challenge on September 26, 2015.
The KRCP ROAD RALLY CHALLENGE is a 24HR 1200KM Endurance Challenge and is the first ever feat for hard-core endurance motorcycle riders in attempting to conquer more than 1,000 kilometres of riding distance covering CALABARZON area – Manila to Cavite, Batangas, Quezon, Laguna and Rizal and back to Manila within a continuous 24-hour period.
With the alarming increase in Riding in Tandem crimes across the Philippines and the success of Mandaluyong's City Ordinance, The Anti Riding in Tandem, where they don't allow 2 males on one motorcycle. It is not far that other cities may follow and implement this.
FLAG Riders' goal is to raise awareness that not all male motorcycle drivers are straight male and male back rides are straight male as well. My goal is for them to recognize same sex relationship and add provisions to the existing city ordinance of Mandaluyong City that if there is enough proof to prove that both parties are in a relationship that they may be exempted from the Anti Riding in Tandem ordinance.
They fear that if other cities would follow this ordinance, the LGBT community, specifically the Gay and Transwoman Community, may fall victim to this.
Show your support for Beki Rider by liking their Facebook page.
Thank you.

Scrapbook Texture Flowers
This is for my darling daughter who turns 7 this week. I love to have her input on her cakes, but whenever I show her pictures of cakes, she picks everything, on every cake, to put together on hers. While that is a fun challenge for me I'm not always thrilled with how it looks all mashed together. So this year I designed her invitations and then showed her a cake sketch from that. It was simple, cute, and I was able to use new impression mats I had gotten. This is as close to scrapbooking as I will get. The flowers are all fondant/gumpaste and dusted with colors. The clouds are all same color shapes put on the covered cake, then a white pearl dusted behind the edges and a darker shade dusting the tops to give them depth. The top tier is coconut cream cake with dark chocolate ganache, and the bottom tier was red velvet.

The Sweet Life of Retirement
Ray has moved his office location, he can now be found here, Monday - Friday. The top tier is chocolate cake, the bottom is key lime with toasted coconut rum buttercream filling. I'm a little disappointed that I couldn't get the hammock made out of gumpaste strong enough to hold up Ray and it had to be made out of fabric to be able to hang from the trees. The fish are made from small molds and hand dusted with the colors, the cake itself and trees were airbrushed.

The little league season is ending and we wanted to thank the coaches for all the hard work they have put in this season. Don't worry, the kids all had cupcakes too. The cake is a white chocolate, chocolate chip cake with a ganache filling.
Spring Flower cake
This cake has some of my favorite flowers ever. All hand molded and dusted with colors to get the shading. The magnolias are a hard flower to do. Magnolias, Calla Lilies, Roses, and a Sunflower. The cake is a chocolate cake with a ganache filling.
Gymnastics Party cake
To celebrate the end of a season of gymnastics, this cake has some of the paintings from the walls of the gymnastics studio, tumbling kids, and a Thank You to the teacher.

Plant a lilac in spring
My Mother-in-law loves flowers, she grows things just by looking at them (I'm pretty sure she just has to look at plants and say 'well?? Grow!' and they do). She loves lilacs in springtime and we planted one today in the yard as well. This cake celebrated her birthday, a carrot cake with a maple swiss meringue buttercream filling. The dirt is Oreo cookies ground up, the gloves and trowel and hose are all fondant, the water is hard candy. The lilac is fondant and although time consuming, I love how it turned out.

One cannot begin to talk about U.S.-China relations, not to say WA-China relations, without mentioning B-O-E-I-N-G. President Nixon may have broken the ice between the U.S. and China with his 1972 trip to the Middle Kingdom, but he flew there on a Boeing 707. The whole U.S.-China trade really began when the Civil Aviation Administration of China ordered 10 Boeing 707s that same year, five years before the normalization in 1979. Today, over 50% of China's fleet of 2,570 commercial jetliners are Boeing airplanes. China is also forecast to surpass the U.S. as the largest civil aviation market by 2034, with a need of 6,330 new planes worth $950 billion, according to Boeing vice president Randy Tinseth. Boeing (China) Co. Ltd. now has 250 Boeing employees in China and more than 6,000 employees at Boeing's various businesses, subsidiaries and joint ventures. More than 8,000 Boeing airplanes fly throughout the world with parts and assemblies built by China. For more information, visit the web page here.
With its founder/chairman Bill Gates greatly admired in China, Microsoft has, however, a very different China story than Boeing's. One word: piracy. Gates famously said once that if people in China were going to pirate anybody's software he'd certainly prefer it be Microsoft's. Entering the market in 1992, Microsoft later opened a research center in Beijing in 1998, with around 250 researchers and developers and more than 300 visiting scientists and students. It also ran training programs for Chinese teachers and software entrepreneurs and financed model computer classrooms in China's rural areas. Still its revenue in China in 2011 was only about 5% of that in the U.S., or less than that in the Netherlands, according to its former Chief Executive Steve Ballmer. In 2014, China banned Windows 8 on its government computers and also launched an antitrust investigation of Microsoft. For more information, visit the web page here.
Xing-Ba-Ke, as it is known in China, is perhaps the biggest and most unlikely success story. Opening its first store in China only in 1999, today, China's is Starbucks biggest growth market, with over 1700 stories in over 90 Chinese cities, and employing 25,000 there. In 2013, Starbucks was criticized in China for charging higher prices there than in other markets. It didn't seem to have affected anything. According the Puget Sound Business Journal, earlier in 2015, Shanghai, China, surpassed Seattle as the city with most Starbucks stores; and in the next five years, Starbucks plans to open 1,600 more stores in China. As John Culver, Starbucks Group President of China and Asia Pacific, told USA Today, China was Starbucks' 'second home' market outside of the U.S. The ingredient of Starbucks' success? Selling a lifestyle, an experience, a Seattle experience, an American experience. For more information, visit the web page here.
In 2004, Amazon took over China's then largest online bookstore Joyo.com and turned it into Amazon's regional store in China. It became Amazon China in 2011. However, the largest online retailer in the U.S. has a formidable rival in China: Alibaba, the largest e-commerce company in the world. As founder Jack Ma said, Alibaba was the crocodile in the Yangtze, which defeated Ebay, a shark in the ocean. In the same way, Amazon is an American shark having a hard time going against the giant local Chinese crocodile. Fortune reported earlier in 2015 that with its e-commerce market share in China remaining less than 1.5%, Amazon opened a store on Alibaba's Tmall site, a different approach. However, according to IB Times, founder Jeff Bezos is now more focused on winning in India than turning around in China. For more information, visit the website here.
A sweet Washington success story, Brown & Haley, the nation's third largest manufacturing wholesaler of boxed chocolates, was founded as early as 1912 by two men in Tacoma. In 1990s, Almond Roca, the crunchy, log-shaped candy with butter inside and a coating of chocolate and diced almonds on the outside, became the largest exported gift candy in the U.S. First in China in 1988, by 2011, Brown & Haley received 20% of its revenue from the Greater China market, including Hong Kong and Taiwan, half of it from China, estimated to be $10 million a year, according to Seattle Business. Along with Almond Roca's popularity in China came a familiar image of a Washington state governor, be it Gregoire or Inslee, promoting Almond Roca in China. Seattle Business described Brown & Haley as "one small company made it big in China." For more information, visit the website here.
It is well known that Washington sells a lot of apples, cherries and pears to China, especially when Jack Ma of Alibaba wrote last year in the Wall Street Journal that in 2013 farmers in the Pacific Northwest sold 180 tons of cherries to China via Alibaba's platform and sales in 2014 more than tripled, to 600 tons. The Northwest Horticultural Association, located in Yakima, WA, represents the growers, packers and shippers of apples, pears and cherries in Idaho, Oregon and Washington. The Council said that historically, some 90% of U.S. apple, 92% of U.S. pear and 65-75% of U.S. sweet cherry exports originate from the Pacific Northwest, predominantly from Washington state. 2013 and 2014 were milestones for Washington's fruit industry as China granted respectively full market access to Washington pears and full varietal access to Washington apples. For more information, visit the website here.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Belpre District Curriculum
In high school, Belpre's science students take an in-depth look at physics. Students examine forces, motion, and momentum, including gravitational, elastic, and friction forces. Learners also explore Newton's laws and learn how to apply them to complex problems. Vector forces, centripetal forces, and motion down inclines are further topics of study as well. Students additionally analyze various forms of energy. Gravitational potential energy is assessed, as is the conservation of energy. Problem solving with regard to motion is a central component of the curriculum as well. Students learn how to use graphs to interpret average velocity, displacement, and acceleration. Learners also work with projectiles to determine the independence of vertical and horizontal motion.
Learners can also delve into a study of biomedical technologies, in which they acquire the ability to conduct basic medical research. Students learn how to use common laboratory equipment and become familiar with the scientific method in order to put hypotheses to the test, collect and analyze data, and report on findings.
Testimonials and Case Studies from Our Parents
SchoolTutoring Academy has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was very self-conscious about her difficulties with the math section of the SAT. SchoolTutoring Academy's Academic Directors created an action plan that boosted my daughter's score and confidence level.
SchoolTutoring Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades. Test Prep Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades.
SchoolTutoring Academy Increased My SAT Score By 200 Points
My son's math marks in high school have always been weak so I found it very beneficial that his ACT tutor worked on solidifying his fundamentals while prepping for the ACT.
SchoolTutoring Academy gave my daughter the confidence she needed to boost her SAT score Thank you!
SchoolTutoring has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was able to improve her test scores after a few months of tutoring with SchoolTutoring. However, while raising test scores is great, the real payoff is in the self-confidence that she gained.
I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank-you! My son is very impressed with his tutor and looks forward to each session. What's particularly amazing about this is our son has never really looked forward to math or school for that matter!
We are so happy with the results of your tutoring program and academic support. Homework time was such a stressful evening for the entire evening before we brought your tutors into our home. Thank you for all your help!
Our daughter, a first grader, struggled with basic reading and handwriting. When she began with SchoolTutoring she was almost a year behind her class. Within a year of being enrolled, she is reading above her grade level and has the confidence to match.

Chalk Talk: How to Choose a College
There are many factors that your child must consider when choosing his or her college. For many families, finances play a major role in where a child attends college. Certainly, considering the expense of each school and the financial aid packages they offer is an important factor. However, there are other factors that should play into the decision. While the quality of a college may be great overall, it is important to determine the quality of the individual department in which your child plans to study to ensure it is up to par and will meet your child's needs. Another important factor in choosing a college should be the college's graduation rate and rate of career placement. The whole purpose of going to college is to then get a job after graduation, so it is necessary to examine how well each school facilitates that transition. Lastly, your child should make his or her decision on the campus experience. Some schools just feel right, and it's important not to discount that gut feeling they have when they feel at home on campus.

Fill your kitchen with these 10 foods that get rid of belly fat
You noticed the waistline on a favorite pair of jeans getting a little tight, or maybe you went to the doctor who casually read a number off the scale that was ten pounds higher than what it was the last time you paid a visit. Sound familiar? Both are signs that your belly is on a fat-storage upswing. Sure, you could be storing fat through other parts of your body, but it's highly likely at least some of it will get stored through your midsection.
Belly fat is comprised of two parts: subcutaneous and visceral. We all have both, but in varying amounts. Subcutaneous fat is the pinchable fat just beneath our skin. Subcutaneous fat is found all over our body, from the tops of our arms to the backs of our calves. To much can be a nuisance, but not as dangerous as its close cousin, visceral. Visceral fat is found exclusively in the abdominal region and is packed tightly around our vital organs. Over time, excessive visceral fat can have an effect on blood pressure, metabolic conditions and cardiovascular health.
What you eat plays a dominant role in getting rid of belly fat. Contrary to a popular opinion seems to persist despite plenty of science-based fact suggesting otherwise, healthy dietary fat doesn't cause fat. Excessive refined carbohydrates, specifically sugar, causes fat.
Before you reach for another skinny latte or fat free yogurt, read this. Then go to the grocery store and fill your basket with these foods. You'll be healthier for it!
1) Avocados
Avocados are not only a delicious addition to any salad, sandwich, or dip, but they also help to get rid of belly fat and carry a wealth of nutritional benefits. Studies have shown that those who eat avocados tend to have healthier diets overall, but also had a lower body weight compared to those who did not consume avocado (1). Other research has showed that avocados can aid in increasing the rate in which fat is burned, may reduce appetite and overeating, and could help the body burn more calories after eating (2). About 77% of calories in avocados come from fat, but don't be alarmed–this type of fat is monounsaturated fat and is linked to promoting heart health and encouraging a healthy inflammatory response (16).
2) Almonds
Snacking on fiber-rich almonds is a great way to increase satiety between meals (3). Almonds contain natural fats that the body can easily burn. Research shows that almonds can speed up metabolism, ultimately reducing fat gain and making them a great weight-loss food (4). The best part? They're small, portable, and require no refrigeration, so they're perfect for stashing at your desk, in your backpack, or in your car to satisfy the need for a snack!
3) Fish
Salmon, trout, and cod are just a few types of fish that can play an essential role in fighting belly fat. Christy Shatlock, RD at bistroMD.com suggests fish to get rid of belly fat. "The consumption of specifically fatty fish provides ample amounts of protein and omega-3 fatty acids," said Shatlock. "Foods high in protein keeps the body fuller for longer at a generally low calorie cost. The omega-3 fatty acids may actually have fat burning benefits."
4) Eggs
Scrambled, over easy, or hardboiled, the versatility of eggs make for some tasty meal options when trying to get rid of belly fat! Filled with protein, eggs are one of the most fulfilling foods and can reduce high levels of calorie intake (5). One study showed that after 8 weeks, subjects who replaced their typical bagel breakfast with eggs saw a massive reduction in waist circumference (6).
5) Apples
With a high fiber content, apples have beens shown to play an integral role in reducing body weight, especially when eaten between meals (11). Apples are also quite rich in Vitamin C, which acts as a natural diuretic to the body (15). "'An apple a day, keeps the doctor away' is a saying for a reason!" said Shatlock. "Eating an apple a day may keep the belly bulge away as they are rich in nutrients and fiber all while being low in calories. Be sure to eat the apple peel, as it is high in insoluble fiber."
Sounds like Snow White was onto something.
6) Chili Peppers
Spice up your next dinner with nutrient-packed chili peppers! Chili peppers can literally "burn" belly fat! Packed with capsaicin, chili peppers have been shown to actively increase fat loss in both men and women (9). Capsaicin is the active component in chili peppers that created a burning, or spicy sensation, which in and of itself can aid in fat burning (10). Think of it as kind of a "you are what you eat" scenario–you taste the burning sensation of chili peppers, and subsequently get rid of belly fat!
7) Beans
Much research has been conducted on the effects of beans on weight loss and waist size, only to conclude that not only do beans reduce feelings of hunger, they have been shown to effectively reduce belly fat (7). Beans are packed with protein and fiber, the two biggest players in the weight loss and waist reduction game (8).
8) Yogurt
Packed with probiotics and protein, yogurt – especially the plain full fat variety – can help to get rid of belly fat while aiding in overall gut health. Research has shown that the high whey protein content found in yogurt can help reduce belly fat as a result of its amino acids (13). "Yogurt is an excellent source of probiotics, healthful bacteria that can balance harmful bacteria in the gut," said Shatlock. "Research has shown that probiotics relieve constipation and bloating by improving intestinal motility." This means that it is easier to eliminate waste!
Try a summertime Fruit & Yogurt Parfait, packed with Vital Proteins Vanilla Coconut Collagen Whey.
9) Grapefruit
Grapefruit's tart, refreshing taste is just one extra benefit to the nutrition it gives the body. Grapefruit has been shown to aid in trimming the waistline due to it's extremely high fiber content and quantity of water it has (11). Participants in a recent study who consumed grapefruit with their meals daily experienced a drastic reduction in belly fat (12). Grapefruit is rich in Vitamin C, an antioxidant which encourages the elimination of free radicals within the body and help you to get rid of belly fat. Try a refreshing Peach & Grapefruit Smoothie to add a little extra nourishment into your day.
10) Old Fashioned Oats
An important fiber called beta-glucan is an essential component of oats, and helps you feel fuller because of its ability to delay the stomach of emptying food, which ultimately reduces calorie intake and help to get rid of belly fat (14). "Oats and oatmeal is an excellent fiber source. A diet high in fiber contributes to good gut health by facilitating bowel movement," Shatlock said. "Regular bowel patterns help reduce unpleasant gastrointestinal symptoms such as bloating and constipation, leaving the belly feeling flatter."
Trimming up your waistline doesn't have to be difficult, nor do you have to subscribe to unhealthy, short-term fad diets or weight-loss urban legends. Making sure you eat a great mix of vitamins and nutrients from whole, natural foods is key to achieving fat-burning goals–and feeling great! Did you write down your grocery list yet? Good, because your favorite jeans are begging for a night out.

A truck can be converted to run on water by installing an electrolysis device. The function of the gadget is to extract the hydrogen gas (H2) from water. We know that water is a solution of 2 elements hydrogen and one part oxygen. By working electricity via water in the electrolysis gadget, hydrogen fuel bubbles will be produced. The thought is to vent the H2 into the engine air intake technique though rubber bracelets hoses. When the truck is running, the engine will suck in air and the hydrogen gas with each other. The H2 will be diverted into the combustion chambers and mixed with diesel fume. The finish end result is a smoother and more powerful explosion as a result escalating the engine electrical power output.
Anyone who was in Denver is aware of the chaos and sheer terror that radiated from Littleton that day. I was on my way to meet a co-employee for lunch. She worked just blocks from Columbine. Police automobiles sped previous, lights on and sirens blaring, at no much less than 60 miles an hour. Straight down Wadsworth, a primary street connecting most of the metro area cities in Denver, the police vehicles came. And then some far more. And then even more. I could virtually hear the calamity from where I was.
These days the rubber friendship bracelets are also really frequent. These rubber bracelets are cost-free dimension and anyone can wear these. The one particular who buys friendship bracelets for the friendship day buys them in bulk and so the rates have to be very sensible but are your budget is far more then why not gift an exclusive friendship bracelet this time? Your friends will bear in mind your gift for years.

|The Kensington Review
2 January 2006
|Latest Commentary:
|Volume V, Number 1
NSA Warrant-Free Spying May Free Convicted Terrorists -- The kerfuffle over the National Security Agency's spying on US citizens without warrants, as ordered by President George "Lyndon" Bush, may wind up freeing convicted terrorists. The White House claims that securing a warrant took too long, endangered American lives and was legally unnecessary. Much to the chagrin of the administration, the nation remains a country a laws and due process. That means that men convicted of terrorism may wind up freed because of the warrant-free spying in a perfect example of the law of unintended consequences in action.
UK Government Releases Records of 1975 -- One of the delights of Hogmanay (Scots for New Year's) is the release of papers by the British government that are no longer covered by the 30-year rule. This rule essentially classifies a load of documents for 30 years before the public gets to see them. This protects high level politicians and civil servants, who are usually all dead or too senile to face trial for whatever crimes they committed. So, here's what 1975 looked like from Whitehall.
Study Shows Accents Affect Perceptions in Business -- In the 1916 preface to "Pygmalion" ("My Fair Lady" without the music), George Bernard Shaw wrote "It is impossible for an Englishman to open his mouth without making some other Englishman hate or despise him." Almost a century later, a study of British business people has found that some accents in British business are preferable to others, and oddly, American is on the preferred list.
Predictions for 2006 -- The smug feeling of getting 9 predictions right out of 11 last year still lingers. So, in a burst of hubris, here are the Kensington Review's predictions for 2006. And as usual, unlike the nonsense of Nostradamus, the obtuse Oracle at Delphi or the open-to-misinterpretation horoscopes of the daily newspaper, these are empirically verifiable. Nine out of 11 will take some doing to beat, though.

I am wearing my new French Sole shoes, I now understand why they have a cult following - they are just so damn cute and pretty comfy. I didn't get the totally flat ones as I don't find flats very comfy, these have a very slight wedge heel which is enough to make them like slippers.
Pinafore Dress: Topshop
Top: H&M
Shoes: French Sole @ Spartoo*
Shoes: French Sole @ Spartoo*
I love this pinafore. I don't care if it makes me look about 5 it makes me happy. I really fancy rocking this at a gig but always manage to forget about buying tickets (have missed the last two Maccabees tours because of this :( ) I used to hang on the phone on release day desperately trying to get tickets to see all my favourite bands. Haven't had time to go to many gigs recently, last band I went to see was The Cribs who were bloody amazing. Hannah told me about StubHub which is owned by eBay and allows you to buy tickets from other fans without the worry of getting ripped off or the tickets not arriving in time. I wish I had of known about this when my friends missed out on Robbie Williams tickets. Click here for more info, they also offer theatre tickets and if you're that way inclined sporting events!

In every relationship there will be occasional misunderstandings and hurt feelings. Sometimes we are the one who hurt another person we care about; sometimes we are the one who has been hurt.
Sometimes both people have become very angry at each other, or both feel hurt. Hurt feelings can be the result of a slip of the tongue, a misunderstanding, or a deed committed in bad judgment. Sometimes feelings are hurt deliberately in the heat of anger and regretted later.
If we were the guilty party, we might regret what we said the instant we let the hurtful remark out of our mouths. We might want to apologize right away, but some of us find apologizing about anything extremely difficult, almost impossible.
Sometimes the reason we don't apologize is because we are convinced that the other person totally deserved our angry outburst. Sometimes the reason we don't apologize is because we have absolutely no idea that we hurt the other person. And sometimes we apologize very profusely, but we don't really mean it.
When you sincerely apologize to a friend, it means that you regret causing the other person emotional pain, and you want to work on repairing the friendship.
If you have said or done something that hurt your friend or partner, it is important to acknowledge your loved one's painful emotions. You can say something like, "I'm so sorry you feel hurt because of what I said. I didn't mean to hurt you. Let's talk about what happened."
In some relationships, hurt feelings and problems are never dealt with. Instead, they get "swept under the rug". These relationships may look polite on the surface and they may even be long-lived, but they are not really very intimate. There is no deep sharing between the two people and there is no ability to be honest.
If one, or both of you, are feeling very angry with the other, put off your in-depth discussion until both of you are to be calm and levelheaded. But apologize to your friend sincerely as soon as you can.
Once an apology for a particular incident has been extended and accepted, don't go back and revisit old battles the next time you have a disagreement. Take care of each incident as it comes up and don't nurse old resentments.
