The bathroom vanity lights are one of the bathroom decorations that could be chosen by people to decorate the bathroom. This bathroom fixture should be prepared for bathroom.
The bathroom lighting is another important element to create the comfortable bathroom. Commonly people do not install any window on their bathroom, therefore the only lighting that is used for the room is just the bathroom lamp, therefore it is completely important to install the appropriate lighting in the bathroom to make the room is importable to use.
Besides to illuminate the whole of the bathroom, the other function of the bathroom vanity lights is to enhance the appearance of the room. This kind of bathroom lighting is commonly functioned to add bathroom decoration, since this bathroom lighting can only provide the subtle lighting around the vanity area. This lighting can illuminate the area around vanity with subtle and also pretty lighting that could make the bathroom more interesting.

I. We Believe In A High View of God
God is absolutely sovereign in all things. The church is established and exists for His glory alone. God is directing and working all things after the counsel of His own will (1).
II. We Believe In A High View of Scripture.
Because the Bible is the Inspired, Infallible, and Inerrant Word of God in the original language passed down to us without change, it is the absolute and final authority on all matters (2).
III. We Believe In the Preaching of Sound Doctrine.
Maintaining a high view of God and a high view of Scripture necessitates the preaching, teaching, and practicing of sound doctrine (3). Doctrine always precedes duty.
IV. We Believe In Personal Holiness.
Though we are in the world, we are not of the world. We are accountable to God and to each other for what we do and how we live, for we have been bought and are not our own (4). We belong to Christ.
V. We Believe In Spiritual Authority.
God Himself has established order in every area of our lives, and the church is no exception. God in Scripture has clearly given us the structure of authority for the church. Christ is the head of the church and He mediates His rule through the shepherding of godly elders (pastors) (5). These elders (pastors), having a high view of God and Scripture, being devoted to the preaching, teaching and practicing of sound doctrine, and being examples of personal holiness before the congregation, are responsible to lead the church. The Bible teaches that the congregation is accountable to the elders (pastors) and that the elders (pastors) are accountable to God. Therefore, all decision-making authority is vested in the elders (pastors), who shepherd the church (6).
(1) Psalm 22:28; Psalm 33:6-9; Psalm 115:3; Daniel 4:34-35; Isaiah 40:17-18; Romans 9:13-29;Revelation 4:11, (2) 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:19-21, (3) 2 Timothy 4:1-5 , (4) Matthew 18:15-17; 1 Corinthians 6:18-20; 2 Corinthians 7:1; 1 Peter 1:18; Ephesians 5:3-12, (5) Colossians 1:18; 1 Peter 5:1-4, (6) Acts 15:6-21 Hebrews 13:17; 1 Timothy 5:17

WALT: create short informative texts using growing knowledge of text structures and language features for familiar and some less familiar audiences, selecting elements appropriate to the audience and purpose.
Our first writing unit will be focusing on creating letters. We are super excited to each be given a Year Three Pen Pal who we will be able to write to and get to know throughout the year. Having a pen pal will give our writing a purpose & audience.
I wonder if anyone has any books at home that contain examples of letter writing? If you I would love you to bring them in.
I found this one in my collection:
Who can have a go at writing a letter from one of their crayons, textas, or pencils?

New to project management in the cloud? Project managers used to the more traditional way of managing projects—not cloud-based—that involve face-to-face contact with a team on a regular basis, and scheduled meetings are understandably uncomfortable about the switch to cloud-based project management. Don't fret; below are some practical guidelines to help you stay on top of your project.
Select the Right Project Management Software
You'll no doubt struggle to manage your project if you don't use the right software that perfectly fits your organization's goals. Determine which features you need to have as well as all the functions that you could do without. Otherwise, you might be paying too much by choosing software that's chock full of redundant features you have no use for.
Waterfall, Agile, Prince2 and Other Traditional Methodologies
All of these still apply your projects, even if they're cloud-based. These are time-tested best practices that could provide you immense value.
Pay Close Attention to Storage
You have to think about these essential questions related to storage regularly:
- Do you have an estimated growth regarding the environment?
- Would you have ample storage for VMs?
- What particular type of performance should you anticipate?
- What about availability SLA and specific protocols used?
Likewise, take note that upgrades and backups could significantly impact your storage requirements. You must address all these and other relevant issues every time you begin a new project.
Ample Preparation is Still Very Much Crucial
Unfortunately, time won't always be on your side, and to use time wisely, you must preplan and test all the key components for all your projects. Evaluate, review, and plan through as many contingencies as possible before starting a project.
Include Compliance and Security Issues when Preplanning
With the many DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks and website security breaches, your project's security should be a prime concern. If you client hasn't discussed compliance or security, make sure to ask. Handing credentials, authentication protocols, and secure logins, all play a very crucial part in effective security.
Yes, you might still be reeling with all the changes of current cloud-based project management principles, but think about the benefits that it could provide—better and faster collaboration as well communication and reduced costs among other. Keep your eye on the prize, which is the completion of your project and keeps these tips in mind to ensure your project's success.

I'm writing this post at 9pm the night before it goes live, and my main pregnancy symptom for this week could be pretty much summed up with the words, "Holy crap, I'm tired!", so here's a handy visual representation of how I've felt this week:
I found this on my phone, so either Terry took it, or the bunny set the self-timer and did it himself. Whatever's going on here, it looks like bunny is definitely living his best life. As for me, meanwhile, here's what Week 29 of pregnancy looked like for me…
Week 29 Pregnancy Symptoms:
Baby hiccups! (As in, hiccups that the baby gets, I mean, not just tiny little hiccups that I've been having.) Luckily, one of my friends had told me about experiencing this when she was pregnant, and it was also covered in one of the many, many NHS leaflets I've been given, so I knew it was possible to start feeling the baby hiccup around this time. What I DIDN'T know, on the other hand, was how often this should be happening, and at what point I should start worrying about it, so I started worrying immediately, just to cover my bases. Well, if I didn't have something to worry about, I'd probably worry about THAT, so at least it gives me something to do, hey?
(Yes, it is totally normal. A bit weird, yes, but normal…)
Other than that: tiredness. But I think I've made my point about that, so let's just proceed straight to the fun bit of these posts, shall we?
Week 29 Pregnancy Purchases & Preparations:
First up: this guy –
He's a Jellycat Bashful Bunny, and, as you can see from the photo at the top of the post, he likes to drink some. OK, I'm joking: if you're a longtime reader, you might recall that I have a tiny pink Jellycat bunny, which I use as a stress toy on flights etc. I call him Pinky, because, well, I don't really have a whole lot of imagination when it comes to naming soft toys, apparently. (See also, my own childhood teddy bear, Ted)
This bunny is a beige Pinky, so we've named him 'Binky'. Yes we have. Oh yeah: he's for the baby, by the way: I just realised you might have been thinking I randomly bought myself a soft toy, but while I won't say I wasn't tempted, I did manage to resist. On this occasion, at least.
Binky was not the only toy to arrive this week, though, because, look! A Whisbear!
Whisbear (Who is just called 'Whisbear', because, seriously, I give up on naming things, I really do…) is actually a white noise machine: he clips onto the edge of the baby's cot, and switches on automatically when the baby starts to cry – or, of course, you can just switch him on yourself, if you prefer. We got him because so many people recommended a white noise machine that we were all, "The peer pressure is too much: we surrender!" In an ideal world, we'd prefer the baby to be able to sleep without relying on certain noises etc, but everyone's told us that there's absolutely no possibility of this happening, and, well, the bear is damn cute, so yeah: you can never have too many cuddly toys in your life, can you? (Er, the BABY'S life, I mean…)
Speaking of sleep:
The Sleepyheead Deluxe is another thing absolutely everyone has recommended to us, so when the brand kindly offered to send us one, I was, like, "Er, YES PLEASE THANK YOU."
So, this is a "sleep pod" which you can either use inside the baby's crib, or on its own. The idea is that it basically cocoons the baby's little body, making him feel secure, and a bit like he's back in the womb again – so, it's a bit like swaddling, basically, but without the actual swaddle. It came with a mobile toy arch and a spare cover, and, as I said, it's been one of the top recommendations we've had, so we're looking forward to trying it out (Or watching the baby try it out, obviously…), and seeing if it really is as good as everyone says it is.
(Just to quickly add here, I'm aware that there's been some controversy over "sleep bumpers" in recent weeks, and that some of them have been withdrawn from the market due to safety concerns. We've been assured that the Sleepyhead isn't one of the types of products that there's concern over: the fabric is actually completely breathable, so it's safe to use, and our intention is to use this during the daytime, anyway – i.e. if we're in the living room, say, and can't be bothered lugging the moses basket downstairs, we can just use this – so he'll always be supervised when he's in it!)
Finally, last week I promised you some photos of our Dubatti Travel System set up as a stroller, so here you go:
The seat can be used either way round – so, either facing you, or facing away – and, as I mentioned in last week's post, when it's set up like this, we can also clip our car seat (Which hasn't arrived yet, but then again, neither has the car we'll be using it in, which has yet to be purchased…) onto it, which I think will be really handy. I also really like the little storage compartment under the seat, which will be a useful place to store all of my lipstick and hair products, no?
The first photo also gives you a little sneak peek of the nursery, because *DRUMROLL PLEASE*….
I mean, we're still waiting for the furniture, which won't be arriving until the middle of November, so I'm going to wait until then to do the full reveal, but as of this week, the room has been painted and cleared of junk, which is a HUGE amount of progress for us, seriously. So far, I'm really pleased with the way it's looking: I just wish I could say the same about the kitchen…
Or, indeed, the hall:
As you can see, the Chamber of Secrets has once again been opened, and our old friend, The Bag for Life – now onto it's third Pregnancy Diary appearance in a row – has managed to sneak in there. I guess it really IS a bag for LIFE, huh?
The good news is that there is finally – FINALLY – a good reason for the current state of my hall, and it all comes down to the new shed: or "That %$#@*&! Shed" as I think of it. It's apparently being delivered and constructed tomorrow – TOMORROW, people! – which means that the Cupboard Under the Stairs will finally be emptied of its contents, which will make their way to the new shed, leaving the under-stair space free from the pram, etc. Or that's the plan, anyway: as you'll recall if you've been following these Pregnancy Diaries, and wondering why so many of them revolve heavily around garden sheds, we've been hurt by Shed Men before, and it's hard to put your trust in another one, you know? But Terry has been out and laid the foundations, and Shed Man 2 swears blind he will turn up as promised, so I'm REALLY hoping that next week's update will feature a tidy house and a brand new shed. Which, OK, are pretty weird things to include in a pregnancy diary, obviously, but if you read this post, all will become clear. Or, I hope so, anyway.

Anyone who reads Design daily on a regular basis will be aware that D.d is a big fan of the Italian design studio Formafantasma founded by Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin in 2009. You only have to look back over the last half a dozen posts to see several examples of their work. So why are we posting yet another? Used to seeing a collection of work by Formafantasma once a year it came as something of a surprise to receive their recent press release outlining their Delta range being presented at Design Miami / Basel for the design galleries Galleria Giustini / Stagette and Galleria O. Roma. Rather than four or five objects in tandem with a swathe of historical references, the Delta collection involves 12 new pieces - three in porcelain and the rest in various combinations of stone and brass. The staggering number and intricacy of many of the new pieces was quite overwhelming and drove the need to look yet again at the work of this incredibly inspiring studio. All photography by Giuseppe Brancato.
Design Miami / Basel has just finished, running from the 14th to the 19th of June in Basil, Switzerland. The event is famous for bringing together the best in limited edition design from galleries from all over the world. The event also takes place in December in, as you might have guessed, Miami, USA. Past exhibitors include some of the biggest names in the field of collectable design such as Paris' Galerie Kreo, London's Carpenter's Workshop Gallery, New York's Friedman Benda, Beirut's Carwan Gallery and Cape Town's Southern Guild.
The porcelain vessels in the 'Delta' collection have an obvious ancient Roman feel but are far more refined than anything ancient Rome had to offer. The water, oil and vinegar vessels are the result of a year's worth of research and development after an invitation by curator Domitilla Dardi instigated a visit to Rome with Trimarchi and Farresin immersing themselves in architecture and museums of the Roman period but also in Rome's more recent past - in the form of rationalist buildings - the influence of which is most evident in a cabinet called 'Theca' (shown later in the post). All in all the designers developed twelve designs across a variety of lighting, furniture and accessory categories including the oil burning table lamp shown below. On a side note: have a look at how well the two images of the lamp shown below sit together one above the other, creating a beautiful geometric interplay.
The Delta collection was produced in collaboration with Galleria Giustini Stagetti and Galleria O. Roma. Curated by Domitilla Dardi as part of 'Priato Romano Interno' (Private Italian Room) - a program started in 2012 with a collection designed by Fernando and Humberto Campana, the program commissions international designers to look to Rome as a source of inspiration. For Formafantasma it was both the everyday objects of ancient Rome that inspired as well as the architecture.
"Delta opens and closes between Rome's remote past – Etruscan or Republican Rome, with its everyday objects in which the votive and the daily merge – and the city of the recent past: that of rationalist metaphysics, with the archetype of geometry punctuated by the rhythm of full and empty and of light and shadow".
Domitilla Dardi, curator of Formafantasma's Delta collection.
Galleria O. Roma works with Italian design of the twentieth century and international contemporary design. Founded in Rome in 2009 by Roberto Giustini, Rossella Peruzzi and Stefano Stagette, the gallery vintage component concentrates on the period of the 1920s through to the 1970s, with a special interest in the work of Gio Ponti, Fontana Arte and Ettore Sottsass. Through the project Privato Romano Interno, curated by Emanuela Nobile Mino, the gallery has collaborated with international authors to re-think Roman and Italian history arts and crafts traditions, in order to develop new collections exclusively for the gallery. These collections are presented in the form of site-specific installations inside historically relevant architecture. Peruzzi and Stagette are the vintage specialists in the group, while it is Giustini who has specific experience in the commissioning and sourcing of contemporary design and art projects. He formed Galleria Roberto Giustini in 2006 but has been sourcing limited edition design pieces and artworks for private and public spaces since 2000.
The 'Reflector' lamp made from gilded brass and travertine may have a fluted stone column that shows obvious links to Roman Doric columns but in all other ways offers an extremely contemporary aesthetic. The 'Eclipse', a pendant light design, might reference the Pantheon's dome and its central glass disc that provides light within the huge dome but the connection is far from obvious. This is not a criticism – far from it – it is exactly what is so admirable about the work of Formafantasma. Despite the thoroughness of their research, they never allow the knowledge of objects and materials from the past to take over the outcome. What they present is always thoroughly contemporary, while enlightening others with what they have discovered from a material and historical perspective.
With the exception of the ceramics pieces, the collection relies heavily on geometry. Circles are used in the 'Magnifier' ceiling light and 'Helmut' table light, intersecting flat planes in the 'Domus' side table and a mixture of both in the mirror called 'Imago'. Beyond the form however it is the material combinations that create that additional spark - whether it's between the gilded brass and exotic crystalline structure of pink onyx, or the rugged, pitted solidity of travertine contrasting with the gold and brass.
'When you grow up in Italy, you're surrounded by all these museums but you're bored by it and don't realise its value. So we had the opportunity to rediscover our past.'
Andrea Trimarchi in an interview with Wallpaper* magazine Dec 2015.
'Rome is basically covered in travertine. A lot of people grow up hating it but I think it's beautiful – the fantastic light you find in Rome is from the sun reflecting off its surface.'
Simone Farresin in an interview with Wallpaper* magazine December 2015
As has been so often the case with Formafantasma projects in the past it is the beautiful execution that puts their work on another level. For Delta, Formafantasma collaborated with artisan makers Fonderia Artistica Battaglia - a company who have been producing fine sculptures in bronze using the lost wax technique since 1913. The Milanese company has produced work for hundreds of artists, designers and architects over the years in scales ranging from jewellery to massive public sculptures.
TuttoMarmo was another important company in the process of developing the collection. The Rome based stone specialist cut and finished the travertine used in the collection. Other smaller artisan makers were also employed on various parts of the project as the designers began prototyping the collection in a variety of materials before settling on the final selection of objects and producing it all in porcelain, brass or stone (and a little wood).
The magnifier concept is presented in the collection in two forms - a ceiling mounted light with a fine ring of metal with central glass 'eye' (shown above) and the floor lamp version (below) where a carved piece of travertine acts as a weighted base but also as sculptural element.
The gilded brass pole of the floor version appears to have been split open by the rock with a visible expression of materials under tension. Even the electrical cable is given attention and becomes an integral part of the design appearing to be pulling the stone at the centre as if it was made of foam not an immovable piece of stone. The detailing of this piece, like all the brass and stone items in the collection is exemplary.
According to the designers their free-floating cabinet called 'Theca' was inspired by several Rationalist buildings they came across during their sabbatical in Rome. For those who are unfamiliar with the Rationalist movement it was an architectural style that occurred in the 20's through 40's - predominantly in Italy - championed by architects such as Cesare Cattaneo, Pietro Lingeri and Giuseppe Terragni.
The core belief of rationalist architecture was, as the name suggests, a more rational approach, rejecting the historicism of the past and the decorative qualities of Art Nouveau. Its signature is a simplicity of structure and lack of overt ornamentation where the structure itself becomes the decorative element. This doesn't mean the buildings were bland, they just relied heavily on extremely good proportions and a minimal material palette - both of which are seen as very positive traits today. The fact that the movement was adopted by the Fascist government of Mussolini is interesting as many of the buildings were not overtly heroic but they were generally grand in scale and some did end up being quite over-the-top in a neo-classical sort of way.
The specific buildings that inspired Formafantasma to create 'Theca' are the 'Palace of Congress' by Adalberto Libera and Luigi Moretti's Casa delle Armi building, both in the EUR area of Rome. The Palace of Congress was started in 1938 but not finished until 1954 while Moretti's building was completed in 1936. The 'Theca' cabinet is a floating structure made from slivers of Navone travertine upon which slatted boxes made from maple sit offering openings on several sides. Appearing like a small group of buildings, 'Theca' emphasises the proportional relationship of the objects above the stone bench and adds a compositional component not generally found in storage furniture.

The first boss you will meet in the game is the Ancient Miner.
Ancient miners are robotic drones designed to mine asteroid fields.
The miner's items were designed to mine but they also pack a punch.
Devastator – the devastator uses a fusion core as ammo in order to crate a ring of fire that destroys asteroids and ships in the area.
Fusion Core Fabricator – the miner produces its ammo from raw materials found in the asteroids around it.
Vacuum Modulator – in order to pull all the raw materials left from the devastated asteroids the miner uses an item that pulls all nearby items to it.
Asteroid Grinder – In case the miner runs out of devastation cores it has another way to mine asteroids, the asteroid grinder emits radiation in a frequency that only damages asteroids. This way, when asteroids come near it they are ground into raw materials.
Last but not least – The Mining Laser – don't go near it!

'Celebrity Big Brother' Recap: Clip-Filled Finale Teaser Shines A Light On Celebrities True Battles
As in every reality TV program, not every moment is filled with wild action and unexpected blindsides. Celebrity Big Brother's second U.S. season is nearing its end, and a moment of realness was gifted to viewers on Monday night. While some fans were annoyed with the recap video-filled episode, others were grateful to see behind the scenes moments that meant more than the gameplay.
The Monday episode was the last before Wednesday's live finale, and it gave extra insight into not only the season's gameplay, but who the beloved celebrity houseguests really are. The remaining houseguests—Lolo Jones, Tamar Braxton, Ricky Williams, Dina Lohan and Kandi Burruss—were visited by former Celebrity Big Brother U.S. finalist Mark McGrath, who guided them on a journey of reflection.
In their conversation with McGrath, conversations barely touched on throughout the series were explained more. One moment, which was teased in the starting episode but rarely after, was Jones's decision to remain celibate until marriage. She dove into the frustration of being a virgin woman who is not dating because of her career. The Olympian noted she's been focused on her sports, as well as remained true to her Christian morals throughout her adult life.
Comedian Tom Green was no longer in the house, as he was evicted last week on a double eviction episode, but his story was also revisited. Green was diagnosed with testicular cancer about 20 years ago. He survived cancer and has joked intensely throughout the season about it. But in a recap, a more serious conversation revealed Green still suffers immense, chronic pain from the cancer and surgery.
The episode also dove into some of the friendships that formed inside the house. Actor Joey Lawrence, who was evicted early in the game, spoke of his friendship with Olympian Ryan Lochte outside of the house, as did Lochte. The pair seem as if they will continue a friendship as the game comes to a close.
Another heartwarming friendship has been found in Burruss and Braxton, who explained they'd had riffs in the music industry before entering the house. Throughout the game, the women paired up and seemed to get closer. In the episode, it was revealed the pair were fully on board with repairing their once-broken relationship.
Until now, the season had been filled with questionable relationships, seemingly shaky alliances and inner-group riffs. Only Wednesday's episode will reveal how it will wrap up.

A decision tree is able to help you examine all feasible options when faced with a tricky selection or decision such as choosing the best choice for your business. Phone trees are a means to reach massive numbers of people quickly. Developing a telephone tree may look like an easy administration task, but nevertheless, it needs to be closely tied to your small business strategy. It can be defined as a superb organizational tool that looks like a simple diagram but having a productive account of information that helps employees and other staff of the company or business when they want to contact with each other. Unfortunately, there are many explanations for why a human or manual phone tree doesn't get the job done. A well-constructed phone tree makes it possible for the companies, company and individual individuals to communicate with distinct departments of same organization without having to spend much time in the irritation of searching the telephone number of desired person. You may create a telephone tree easily on computer with assistance of the Phone Tree Template.
The Tried and True Method for Phone Tree Template in Step by Step Detail
The item number I purchased a few years ago was 80401. If you don't already have one, you are going to want to register a minumum of one phone number as your primary line. If you just have a work desk phone number for instance, you probably aren't going to be in a position to reach that member of staff during an operational disruption. One of the greatest examples I have detected about the way to use the templates is they could be a fantastic strategy to make your company a success.
Because it's user friendly there isn't any experience necessary for using quix. When you speak with your users, you will want to look out to see if the users fit all of the design stories or jobs to be done you're searching for. The app can be reloaded in under 1 second, not just for smaller samples, but in addition for actual products with good size. You should currently be in a position to run the app.
The generated application structure is comparable to the classic desktop application. It's not suitable to incorporate the framework in the current application. Timing the implementation of your phone tree exercise will permit you to check whether staff can be reached in an efficient fashion or whether your tree has to be restructured. You don't need to go tensed with image management or formatting, JCE gives you Office-like formatting functions and superior image administration.
IVR software includes the wider personalization. There are several different varieties of phone tree software for churches. You can also buy family tree software at fair rates and some are free. Family tree software uses very user-friendly step-by-step methods to help you receive the comprehensive family tree.
Vital Pieces of Phone Tree Template
Alternately, the option exists to get responses and feedback sent straight to your cellular device. Several options are offered for drawing a decision tree, but the simplest method is to utilize SmartArt. Google Analytics extension is the ideal tool which enables you to install google analytics code quickly.
As it is written as a code, it is not difficult to switch the UI according to the ailments. The code may also be found on github. If you're somewhat similar to me, you only want to find the code and you will figure it out, so here you go.
Templates may be used for making CV, resume as a way to apply for jobs. You may use the template to include things like the 3 concepts on each and every circle and use an arrow to the outside to point out the results. You will find that a few of the templates are absolutely free to use and others expect a premium account. A telephone tree template in Microsoft Word, Excel or PDF may look like a fantastic place to get started. While Joomla offers a great deal of features and flexibility, there's still much functionality missing from the core program.
You may design your website for every screen size very easily. Your website is backed up automatically, and you may restore the backup anytime you desire. The internet photo sites make it really simple to assemble. When you arrive on their primary page, all you have to do is either pick one of many templates they give or Start Fresh. So in the meantime, you need to do something else to the present page.
After you have collected all of the information, you can earn a rough template, make changes and finalize it before making the last one! Deficiency of information is likewise an issue. Now after all of the hassle of gathering information you become tired. For additional information, you may go here. It's more difficult to discover totally free info online.

Aspen Ideas Festival Welcomes IAVA's Jaslow
NEW YORK, NY (June 26, 2017) — Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA), the leading voice of the Post-9/11 generation of veterans, is proud to announce that Executive Director, Allison Jaslow, was named a 2017 Aspen Ideas Festival Scholar and will be attending the event this week in Aspen, Colorado as part of an elite group of diverse leaders from across the United States and 30 different countries selected for their work, accomplishments, and ability to transform ideas into action.
Presented by the Aspen Institute in partnership with The Atlantic magazine, the Aspen Ideas Festival is the nation's premier, public gathering place for leaders from around the globe and across many disciplines to present and discuss the ideas and issues that both shape our lives and challenge our times. It runs through July 1.
"Allison is one of the most important veteran leaders in America. Over the last few years, she has quickly established herself as an unparalleled force for our movement," said Paul Rieckhoff, Founder and CEO of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. "We're thrilled to have her voice included in the Aspen Ideas community this week. This honor is recognition not only of her wide array of accomplishments, but also her potential to help solve the world's most pressing problems at the highest level. We are excited to see and support her achievements on behalf of our community and nation in the critical years to come. And we appreciate Aspen's recognition of the importance of the veterans community."
The lead spokesperson for IAVA's groundbreaking "She Who Borne The Battle" women veterans campaign, Jaslow was recently promoted to Executive Director to focus on policy, strategy and external affairs for the organization. Her recognition as an Aspen Ideas Festival Scholar further underscores how her leadership stands out nationwide.
"I'm incredibly humbled to be recognized alongside such remarkable leaders and citizens as an Aspen Ideas Festival Scholar," said Allison Jaslow. "The theme of my life has been a commitment to service and pursuit of opportunities to make the greatest impact for the greater good. The Aspen Institute is known for bringing together the world's premiere thought leaders and I'm eager to engage with and learn from them as I look to tackle future challenges."
A native Virginian, Jaslow served two combat tours in Iraq as before leaving the Army as Captain. She also served in the White House, both Chambers of Congress, and worked on political campaigns across the country before joining IAVA. Allison's last stint on Capitol Hill was as Chief of Staff for Illinois Congresswoman Cheri Bustos and served previously as Press Secretary for former U.S. Senator and decorated Vietnam veteran Jim Webb. Her previous roles at IAVA were as Chief of Staff and Director of Intergovernmental and Political Affairs.

Before recently joining University of Technology, Sydney (UTS) as CIO, Christine Burns was head of IT at Ashurst law firm. As CIO, she will be managing the many technology projects that are underway at the university and will be developing an IT-business strategy.
Burns spoke with CIO Australia about the university's $1 billion buildings upgrade and the technologies that will be integrated into that, the review of the university's long-term data centre strategy and the need for organisations to see IT as a business partner.
What does and average day involve for you at UTS?
The university is quite a busy and complex environment and that translates into a lot of variety in what I do. From an operation perspective, my team provides services to students, to academics, to researchers and to staff with a wide variety of roles. And for similar reasons we have IT projects that covert quite a broad range of technologies and objectives.
At the moment, UTS is a few years into a very exciting $1 billion dollar upgrade of the university campus. Overseeing the IT and audio visual services involvement in that is a major focus for me at the moment.
Like many other CIOs, I'm involved in a normal cycle of business planning and people development processes for the team. At the moment, being new in my role here, I'm also spending a lot of time meeting people and deepening my understanding of the different faculties and of my own team.
What are some of the challenges you face in your role as CIO?
IT is a significant investment for every organisation so the perpetual challenge here as elsewhere is just to make sure that the technology investments that are made align with what the university's goals are and they are future proof. UTS does have a very clearly articulated strategic plan and that makes that task a bit easier. But as you can imagine, the needs of each of our different faculties are all very different and that adds some complexity to the job.
Another challenge in such a varied environment is determining how to communicate effectively with all the diverse stakeholders and that might range from using digital signage to get messages to students through to reports and items in faculty online newsletters. Then, of course, there will always be face-to-face meetings and phone calls.
Balancing project and operation work is also a daily hurdle which the management team and I face. There is a really significant project load here at the moment and particularly with the work related to the university's new buildings.
What are the major projects you are working on?
We do have a broad range of projects underway at the moment. We've just completed a really major upgrade for the university's wireless network. Some of our older structures, when they were [being] built, the use of portable computers wasn't even contemplated let alone mobile devices. Now, we have 917 wireless access points across our campuses. So that's a very significant project which is just in the final phase.
One of the really interesting ongoing projects is work that we are doing to support the university's teaching and learning team in creating flexible learner-centre teaching spaces so there's a huge variety of technology-enabled spaces and the range of technologies that are incorporated in those are vast.
The other thing we have underway is a lot of projects to support the university's researchers. You read a lot in the IT press at the moment about big data but at the university it is a lot more than just a buzz word, it's really a daily reality. So work to support our researchers is behind a lot of our projects.
UTS has embarked on a $1billion building programme. To date, that has involved building new clinical labs for the Faculty of Health, a major refurbishment to Great Hall, new student housing, an underground sports and leisure facility and fitting out several new floors of teaching space for our Faculty of Design, Architecture and Building.
Building work has just commenced for a new building on Broadway which will house the Faculty of Engineering and IT. It is encased in angled, semi-transparent 'binary screens' and was designed by Denton Corker Marshall architecture. It will include a 'data arena'. The data arena is a 360 degree data visualisation room. It will be used to display large, complex data sets in a graphical manner. Other buildings which will form part of the program are the first building in Australia designed by Frank Gehry to house the UTS Business School and a new building in Thomas St for the UTS Faculty of Science. The Thomas St building will include an underground storage and retrieval facility for the library which is operated by robots.
Over the past six months the university has been reviewing its data centre strategy. A tender is currently underway to identify an appropriate external data centre which will enable it to improve its IT infrastructure and capacity planning. As the tender process is currently in progress there is not much more I can add at this stage.
What are the three biggest issues facing CIOs today?
One of the things that actually keeps CIOs being interested in being CIOs is how quickly technology changes. I think at the moment the biggest things all CIOs are dealing with are the trends people refer to as the consumerisation of IT or BYOD, and cloud computing.
The reason for that is I think now more than ever those sorts of changes mean that the IT needs to make sure that they are viewed by their organisations as a business partner. For CIOs in particular, they need to make sure they are someone who is sought out because they provide expert assistance in finding a solution to business needs.
I think some of those other technologies that are on the horizon now potentially make it easier for the business to bypass the IT department and they certainly change the expectations of IT service and delivery turnaround time.
What's your favourite gadget?
I like all sorts of gadgets. At the moment the thing that I'm most pleased with is a new ultra-light keyboard for my iPad which has been very well designed. For those times when you need to type something slightly longer than a few sentences, it is a very good alternative to using the iPad built-in keyboard.

Family Gift-Giving Traditions Are Sometimes Better Than the Gifts
Erin Sullivan's Family
Making Gift Cards Memorable
Almost the entire Sullivan family lives in or around Franklinville, N.J., so big family gatherings are a signature of every holiday. When Erin Sullivan joined the family, it was expanding exponentially, with weddings and babies galore. By 2015, it just seemed a hassle to find gifts for every person that wouldn't be either wasteful or too expensive. But the Sullivans didn't want to default to exchanging gift cards. So, Erin's aunt came up with a plan.
Related: Stocking Stuffers for Everyone on Your List
"Everyone over 16, probably 20 people, had to get a gift card and find a way to display it," Erin said. "Some would put it into picture frames and make it sentimental, or put it under a Christmas tree made from Keurig K-cups." In a large, competitive family, the game quickly became a contest to craft the most creative display. When Christmastime came around, it became a different kind of contest entirely.

"The first year we drew numbers to see who could pick gifts first, but that wasn't enough," Erin said. "So after that, we added rules to make it harder. We had a game, with alphabet pasta, where you had to make as many words as possible with the noodles in a set amount of time, and whoever made the first words got to pick their gift card first." Erin said that the first card displays to go are usually the ones paired with wine or beauty products. And the least appealing? "Our nephew put his gift card in chocolate frosting, so it looked like the poop emoji," she said. "No one wanted to try and get that one out."
Lisa Mandel's Family
A Twist on White Elephant
Growing up in Sherman Oaks, California, Lisa's family put a literal spin on White Elephant gifting. "We're Jewish, so we'd use the dreidel to determine who got what," Lisa said. "If it landed on a certain letter, you would either pick a new gift or steal from someone."
Related: Homemade Food Gifts for the Holidays
Even though gifts were exchanged, Lisa's family didn't focus on what they were giving and receiving. In fact, no one knew what they were getting until the game was over—no one unwrapped their gifts until everyone had a present. "You could only imagine what was inside the box, so sometimes it was something cool, or you'd unwrap an extravagant box and inside would be a pencil from my uncle's medical practice," Lisa explained. "Often something would show up year after year, because we'd recycle whatever didn't get used or re-gifted the year before." During the game, kids and adults alike would tease one another about what gifts they'd picked, or how they'd wrapped presents. "It involved every generation of our family," said Lisa. And don't worry—after the game, the kids would get some real presents, too.

Aleshia Fessel's Family
Helping Those in Need
In Aleshia Fessel's family, every holiday season is different. Sometimes, it's a traditional Christmas; other years, it's all goofy prank gifts. And one year, when it seemed everyone was having a particularly hard time finding thoughtful presents, Aleshia's Ohio-based family agreed to give to charity instead.
Related: Gifts That Give Back to Charities
"Each person would take the money they'd usually spend on a gift, and instead give to a charity they knew would be meaningful to that person," Aleshia said. A cousin who is an animal trainer, for example, received a letter from the animal shelter in her hometown declaring a donation on her behalf.
Related: Everything You Need to Make the Perfect Sugar Cookies
The most meaningful exchange of this nature happened five years ago, shortly after the death of Aleshia's grandmother, Hattie. "It hit my mom really hard," Aleshia explained, "and I decided to donate to the hospice where my grandmother had died. A few of us went in on it together, and when my mom saw the letter, saying 'Donation on behalf of Hattie,' she got really emotional." Aleshia knows there will come a time when her family gives to charity in lieu of gifts again. In fact, her friends are jumping on the bandwagon, too. "My friend and I both love cats, so instead of gifts, we give to cat charities," she said. "And it doesn't have to be limited to Christmas."
Heather Farah's Family
The Ultimate Family Gag Gift
Heather Farah and her husband, Paul, were at a yard sale shortly before their foster daughter's third birthday, when Paul picked up the ugliest plush tiger either of them had ever seen.
Related: Classic Yule Log & Other Sweet Holiday Cakes
"He said, 'How about this?' and I said 'That's so ugly it would scare her!'" Heather laughed. "So he bought it for me instead." Paul surprised Heather with the ugly tiger on their anniversary in 2002, and in the years since, it's been gifted on birthdays, graduations and wedding days to the Farahs and their eight children. The tiger grows even more ridiculous with every occasion: when one of the children gave Paul the tiger for Father's Day, he added a mustache; when Paul and Heather's son got married on Leap Day 2016, they gave the tiger a veil, and presented it to their new daughter-in-law. "You know you're going to get it, but you always kind of forget," Heather said.
Related: What to Make With Leftover Egg Nog
Heather chalks up her children's success to "having weird parents." With three biological and five foster kids, the Phoenix, Arizona-based Farahs tried to be creative every single holiday. Along with exchanging the tiger on special occasions, at Christmastime they'd also hold a musical chair-style gift exchange. Heather would wrap books, boxes of cereal or Christmas ornaments, and her children would swap the wrapped presents to the tune of Christmas carols. Then, after unwrapping each gift, they would determine who it was really meant for, with some guidance from Paul and Heather.

Hue (Hadoop User Experience) is an open-source, web-based, graphical user interface for use with Amazon EMR and Apache Hadoop. Hue groups together several different Hadoop ecosystem projects into a configurable interface. Amazon EMR has also added customizations specific to Hue in Amazon EMR. Hue acts as a front-end for applications that run on your cluster, allowing you to interact with applications using an interface that may be more familiar or user-friendly. The applications in Hue, such as the Hive and Pig editors, replace the need to log in to the cluster to run scripts interactively using each application's respective shell. After a cluster launches, you might interact entirely with applications using Hue or a similar interface. For more information about Hue, see http://gethue.com.
Hue is installed by default when you launch your cluster using the Amazon EMR
console. You can choose not to install Hue by using Advanced options in the Amazon EMR console when you launch a cluster, or by explicitly specifying
--applications option, and omitting Hue, when you use
create-cluster from the AWS CLI.
The following table lists the version of Hue included in the latest release of Amazon EMR, along with the components that Amazon EMR installs with Hue.
For the version of components installed with Hue in this release, see Release 5.28.0 Component Versions.

Women's Initiative
of EGBOK alumni are women
Through the Women's Leadership & Empowerment Initiative, the women in our program are creating choices for themselves that were once never thought possible.
These choices are a part of the larger picture of women's empowerment and transformation, which is at the core of economic development and alleviating gender disparities. EGBOK has always been committed to tailoring our program towards at-risk young women in Cambodia and we continue to put emphasis on enrolling young women in our program.
Violence against women in Cambodia is a particularly pressing issue. Physical violence and economic hardship have made women vulnerable to trafficking and exploitative prostitution and Cambodia has become a major focal point in the regional sex trade.
Mobilizing Leaders
Mobilizing leaders occurs naturally for the women in our program as we have strategically implemented and evaluated our activities to achieve specific outcomes. The following activities are instrumental in mobilizing leaders in our Women's Leadership & Empowerment Initiative:
- Gender Awareness
- Life Skills
- Discovery & Leadership
- Exposure to Female Leaders
- Post-Graduation Preparation for Independence
- Relationship Building & Activities

Cakes are to Christmas what pies are to Thanksgiving – a traditional treat that finishes off dinner. Christmas cakes tend to have fancy flavor combinations due to the special nature of the holiday. They also tend to be decadent, partially because people worry less about dieting during the winter months and partly because decadent just tastes good. From traditional fruitcake to non-traditional mocha cakes, there are Christmas cakes that suit many different tastes.
Fruitcake, which hails from England, is a heavy cake filled with candied or dried fruits. It may also contain nuts and spices. The cake can be served plain or with icing. Traditional fruitcake is usually soaked in liquor, such as rum, for several weeks to add some bite to this very sweet and chewy cake. Soaking is done by wrapping liquor-soaked cheesecloth around the cake, and placing the cake in an airtight container. More liquor is added every few days until the desired potency is reached.
Buche De Noel
Buche de Noel, also known as a yule log, is a French Christmas tradition. The rolled cake is typically covered with chocolate to resemble a yule, or Christmas, log. The dessert is usually made with chocolate sponge cake that is covered with a filling and rolled into a log shape. The cake is covered with dark chocolate frosting with streaks that look like bark. The cake may then be topped with powdered sugar snow and candy holly leaves. Filling for the cake ranges from simple flavors, such as vanilla and chocolate, to gourmet flavors, like peppermint cream and cherry mocha.
Stollen is a yeasty cake that's served after Christmas dinner in Germany. Like fruitcake, stollen is filled with an assortment of dried fruits. Traditionally, the sweet cake is topped with a thin icing and may be adorned with candied cherries. More of a sweet bread than a traditional cake, a stollen is oval in shape with the ends pinched together. This shape symbolically mimics the shape of a swaddled baby.
Native to Italy, panettone is another type of yeasty sweet bread. Served at Christmas, as well as other special times, the cake is filled with a variety of fruits and nuts, most notably raisins and pine nuts. The very tall cake has a citrusy bite because it is often made with citron, a citrus fruit with a flavorful rind.
In addition to the traditional, there are many non-traditional cakes served throughout the world for Christmas dinner. From mocha chocolate cake with peppermint filling to red sponge cake with green whipped cream frosting, anything is possible. Gingerbread cake with white icing is a spicy dessert, as is apple cider cake with cinnamon frosting. A snowman-shaped cake covered with coconut flakes adds a winter-themed twist to your Christmas dessert. A caramel cake with pecan frosting provides an extra-sweet end to your Christmas dinner.

Cody's still interred on the ranch in Arizona. He was planning on heading out today, but Bachelor had to take a trip up to Pheonix for a few days, so Cody agreed to ranch-sit. He had only planned on being there a week, but after a shopping expedition Sunday to buy new tubes for the stroller tires, some new jeans to replace his "shredded" one, and some food, he realized he needed a bit more cash, so he stuck on.
I'd been wondering just how desperate the cash situation was before he got this job, so Cody finally told me tonight, from the security of the ranch's double wide, with a full meal in his belly-- he spent his last dollar on a cheeseburger from McDonald's on Thanksgiving Day. It wasn't until Monday, I believe, that he found this ranching job. He'd made his last 12 1/2 dollars last a week and a half up until Thanksgiving, by subsisting on PB&Js and Ramen noodles. After the dollar cheeseburger, he lasted the rest of the time on PB&Js. He was passing the ranch after they were all gone, and he decided he at least had to ask for water. He found a job, along with water, and several good meals.
Bear in mind, worriers, he could have had money from anyone in his family or an extended network of friends with a phone call, but he had to see how he would feel to really be broke.
I'm guessing he felt hungry.
And probably sick of PB&Js.
Anyway, this job has done wonders for his morale and bank account. It sounds like it's beautiful country, too. Cody's been fencing in the BLM portion of the ranch, which is full of mountains and valleys. Since it is BLM land, there are no motorized vehicles allowed. That means hauling in fence posts on foot, over tough terrain. At least his muscles probably haven't atrophied in the last week!
Cody, true to his battle against softness, hasn't been sleeping in a bed on the ranch, even though the rancher offered him one. He has, however, been sleeping inside. An inch of snow fell yesterday-- Cody says it will be tough to leave the warmth at night! He has lots of warm clothes, though, and Mom is shipping him a package with another winter coat. He's also mulling over what book to ask her to send. He's finished Travels with Charley, which he thoroughly enjoyed.
The Stroller Saga continues. Cody spent money on three tire tubes that were guaranteed not to go flat. He spent about twenty minutes carefully picking over the three tires, removing any tiny speck of thorn or gravel that might pop a tire. He then carefully wheeled it about 200 ft. and parked it next to the house. The next day, Bachelor had hired someone to blast some rock for them. After the blaster set the six-minute timer, they were waiting for the explosion, when there was a loud bang from behind them! The tube had chosen this moment to blow up! Cody has no idea why it would have exploded, stationary with hardly any weight on it. It's not like he's overfilling them, since he has a pretty lame hand pump to pump them up with. The tire that had popped was a back tire, so Cody swapped the tube out with the front tire, than filled the front tire with pipe insulation. Since it's not bearing as much weight, he hopes that will work.
Scott Smith left yesterday, heading for Laramie. I'm hoping he took some pictures that he'll post!
Cody continues to be remembered at home in upstate New York. He had pygmy goats when he was a kid, and we all loved them. They were cute and had tons of personality. This summer, he decided to buy another one, so he answered an ad in the Free Trader (lifeblood of the North Country) for a pygmy goat. He was a little skeptical when he showed up, since there wasn't much pygmy about this goat. He hated to call the lady a liar, though, so he took the goat. He quickly decided it was just an ornery billy goat. And it smelled worse than boys' feet after a road trip (and I speak from experience-- I once had a Metro that my brothers borrowed for a road trip-- when my sister crashed it 18 months later, it still smelled wrong!) It was just an exceptionally unappealing animal.
Remember my comment about Cody's relationship with The Law? Well, because of that touchy subject, I'm not gonna say what happened to the goat. Suffice it to know that a really ugly billy goat was discovered in the enclosed court yard of the local high school sometime this fall. The ag teacher took pity on it and adopted it, while the juniors accused the seniors of a prank, and the seniors retaliated with accusations of their own. Not much has happened with the goat lately... until it got in the mood to write Christmas cards.
An 8x10 portrait of the goat was sent to Cody (at Mom and Dad's address). The goat asked if he could please come home again...
The shop teachers at school have had lots of Vaughan kids through their classes, and I think they might be fairly confident that they know what happened that autumn evening.
Anyway, there are no goats on the ranch in AZ!
As Cody says, this little break has done wonders for his morale, but he can't wait to get walking again, and "karate fight the road." Here's hoping he delivers a good blow to the asphalt! Feel free to make your own karate chop for good with a donation to Doctors Without Borders at Cody's fundraising site.

My beautiful friend and inspiration, Alana Kaye, went with World Vision Australia in 2013 to Honduras to visit her sponsor child. She is currently in Haiti visiting her second sponsor child. This woman never ceases to amaze me in her loving, generous and kind efforts. As a #WVABlogger Blog Ambassador, I want to spread the word about people like this and encourage people who are sponsors to visit their children, and those who aren't, to become sponsors!
Here is the story from Alana about what it was like to visit her World Vision Sponsor Child.
DATE: 1st November, 2013.
CITY: Marcala, Honduras.
TIME SPONSORING CHILD: 3 years. (First time visiting her!)
AGE OF SPONSOR CHILD: 9 yrs old at time of visit.
EXPERIENCE: The best day of my life.
My beautiful friend Emma from Lovelly Communications! She had visited her sponsor child in Tanzania and this was the first time that I had heard that you could visit your sponsor child. After asking Emma some specifics, I decided to go ahead and request with World VIsion to visit my sponsor child, Velinda, in Honduras. WIthin 3 months, I was on my way for the trip.
Of course nothing will ever take away from the moment that I met Velinda! Finally meeting someone in person that you have been writing to/ conversing with/ sending photos and updates with for years is an unbelievable feeling. Meeting Velinda made me cry, laugh and scream with joy. I was so happy to meet her in person!!! The experience was unbelievable!!! Overall, the whole day really blew me away. I didn't realise that by just sponsoring one child that it can have such an impact on the whole community. I was overwhelmed with World Vision's organisation and their attention to detail on the day and the way they had involved the whole community in my visit. They had been planning my visit to Marcala for 3 months and had made every effort to make it an incredible experience for Velinda and I. The whole day was simply phenomenal!
I flew into Tegucigalpa and overnighted at a hotel in the city. The next morning a World Vision representative picked me up and we drove west for around 8 hours with a full car of World Vision staff (All were so amazingly welcoming and beautiful)! That evening we went to a Camp Site where the World Vision Staff were at a conference. Around 90 staff. We overnighted that night near that village, World Vision staff took me to a "Home Stay" We had a hammock and it was so lush and green and beautiful!
The next morning – 8am, was THE day that I got to meet Velinda!!
We travelled an hour to her village "Marcala" and she was waiting on the dirt road of the World Vision office with a bunch of red flowers in her hand. I ran to her and we hugged so tight!!!! She was old enough to 'understand' what was going on, but still young enough that she would go between her Mum and me all day.
That day of my visit, we did a hike together, had a picnic, we went to a restaurant for lunch and then visited 4 different villages and the children in the different villages had planned plays/ skits/ songs/ to perform for Velinda and I and the World Vision staff. The villages had so many presents to give- baskets of Bananas, coffee, hand woven bags with my name sown on!…. Just overwhelming sweet! The town Doctor and Town Elders then did a thank you speech for coming to their villages and they each told me how World Vision has changed their community. I did a speech in each village to thank them for their overwhelming hospitality. In one village the local radio came to interview Velinda and I and a Women's rights Activist on the topic of "Why that I feel it is important to sponsor Velinda/ or a child in a far away community".
World Vision had organised a translator for my day with Velinda. His english was perfect and he was quick with his translations too, which was amazing … (Even if Velinda whispered something in my ear, he would kneel down and listen too and then straight away translate). It was things like "Will you visit me again? I like your hair" All those little details that I would have missed, the translator made possible for me.
After visiting Honduras, I was so overwhelmed with World Vision's work and the impact that they make that I decided to sponsor another child. So, I now also sponsor Fabiola who lives in Haiti. I am going to visit Fabiola next month (February, 2015). I can't wait!

Focus Missions supports References: require your trip participants to submit personal or professional references as part of the trip application requirements.
Admins with the new permission item Can Manage References will be able to configure references from the new References option located on the My Trips menu*. Follow the steps below to set up and manage your account's References:
*if you do not see the option to access your account's References from the Trips menu, contact your account owner to verify your Admin permissions under Manage Admins.
Accessing References
Navigate to your References by selecting References under the Trips tab.
Individual Types
Individual Types describe the classification you wish to give to the references themselves. For example, you may want to have a Family Member Individual Type to gather a personal reference from a trip participant's relative, or a Pastor Individual type to gather a spiritual reference from a trip participant's pastor.
Note: you'll want to set up your Individual Types and your Categories before you begin creating your Questions, as you'll be assigning each of your questions to both Individual Types and Categories.
To create a new Individual Type, click the Add Individual Type button from the Individual Types view, and enter the value you wish to use.
For a new Individual Type you're ready to use, leave the toggle set to Active, so it will be readily available to use. If you prefer to save the Individual Type for future use, you may select Inactive and then update it to Active status when you're ready to use it.
Click Add Individual Type to save.
To update an existing Individual Type, select the Individual Type you wish to edit from the list.
Make any change you wish for the name or status, and select Update Individual Type to save.
The Reference Question Categories represent groupings of question types you may want to ask your trip participants. For example, you may have a Medical History Category to group a series of medically-related questions you'll ask a trip participant's physician reference.
To add a new Category, click the Add Question Category button from the Reference Question Category view.
Enter the value you wish to name your Category, choose whether you're ready for this Category to be Active or prefer to keep it Inactive (it will not be available in the Question drop-down), and click Add Question Category to save.
To edit an existing Category, select the Category you wish to edit from the list.
Make any change you wish for the name or status, and select Update Question Category to save.
You may also permanently delete an existing Category from the Edit view by clicking the Delete button.
Note: Deleting a Category cannot be undone.
Create Your Reference Questions
Once your Individual Types and Categories have been set up, you may build your Reference Questions.
Your Reference Questions will be grouped by the Categories you created. Click on the arrows on each Category to expand the list of Questions beneath each Category.
To add a new Question, click the Create Question button from the Reference Questions view.
- Choose the Category you wish it to be classified under from the Category drop-down.
- Enter the Question Text (this will be the actual question verbiage the reference provider will see).
- Select whether it will be a question the reference will be required to answer in order to submit, or whether their response to the question will be optional.
Select (or change if updating) all of the Individual Types you wish to include for this Question, and click Update to save your choices.
Once all values have been selected (or updated), click Add Question to save.
Reference Settings
Reference Settings (or Reference Rules) define the number of references as well as the defined Reference Individual Types that trip participants must fulfill in order to complete the Reference requirement.
To manage your Reference Rules, click the Edit button from the Reference Settings view.
Add a new Reference Rule by clicking the Add Rule button below the list of existing rules, or choose to Edit or Delete an existing rule by selecting the appropriate action next to each existing rule.
You may also choose how long you wish to consider references valid in a trip participant's profile by adjusting the month value under Reference Expiration.
Click the Update Settings button to save your changes.
The Reference Questionnaire
When a trip participant invites an individual to act as a reference, they will receive an email with a link inviting them to participate as a reference on behalf of the trip participant.
The link will take them directly to the Reference Questionnaire, where they can complete the form online. Just as the applications in Focus Missions behave, the Reference Questionnaire will also auto-save responses so that entries are not lost if not completed in one sitting.

The Continuing Story/
In case any of you were wondering, I am still writing for Momversation. My post about Zach's crush went up last week - I hadn't mentioned it because I already posted the full version here. Things are getting worked out, which is good for both sides, and I have a post up there this morning if you'd like to check it out:
Hope everyone had a good weekend and that your week is off to a great start!
ps. should probably mention that the actual beginning to the Momversation post is on their front page, so you might want to go there to see how it starts :)
