Mao Zedong Communist China The Great Leap Forward The Cultural Revolution Tiananmen Square
was a Chinese military and political leader who led the Communist Party of China to victory against the Kuomintang in the Chinese Civil War the leader of the People's Republic of China from its establishment in 1949 until his death in 1976. Mao Zedong
Regarded as one of the most important figures in modern world history However, many of Mao's programs, such as the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution, are blamed from both within and outside China for causing severe damage to the culture, society, economy, and foreign relations of China, as well as a probable death toll in the tens of millions Mao Zedong
The People's Republic of China was established in October 1949. The Communist Party assumed control of all media in the country and used it to promote the image of Mao and the Party. The Chinese people were exhorted to devote themselves to build and strengthen their country Leadership of China
In his speech declaring the foundation of the PRC, Mao announced: "The Chinese people have stood up!" More examples of his propaganda to change China Leadership of China
Mao's first political campaigns after founding the People's Republic were land reform and the suppression of counter-revolutionaries, which centered on mass executions, often before organized crowds. Mao himself claimed that a total of 700,000 people were executed during the years 1949–1953. Mao Zedong
Following the consolidation of power, Mao launched the First Five-Year Plan (1953-1958). The plan aimed to end Chinese dependence upon agriculture in order to become a world power. With the Soviet Union's assistance new industrial plants were built and agricultural production eventually came to where industry was beginning to produce enough capital that China no longer needed the USSR's support. Mao & Stalin
The success of the First Five Year Plan was to encourage Mao to instigate the Second Five Year Plan, the Great Leap Forward, in 1958. Land was taken from landlords and more wealthy peasants and given to poorer peasants. Large scale industrialization projects were also undertaken. The Great Leap Forward
The Great Leap Forward took place in 1958. The Great Leap Forward was Mao's attempt to modernize China's economy so that by 1988, China would have an economy that rivaled America. two primary tasks that he felt they should target was industry and agriculture The Great Leap Forward
Families in a people's commune eating in communal dining hall The Great Leap Forward
The Great Leap Forward planned to develop agriculture and industry. Mao believed that both had to grow to allow the other to grow. Industry could only prosper if the work force was well fed, while the agricultural workers needed industry to produce the modern tools needed for modernization. To allow for this, China was reformed into a series of communes. People in a commune gave up their ownership of tools, animals etc so that everything was owned by the commune. Communes during the Great Leap
millions starved to death in what is thought to be the largest famine in human history. According to government statistics, there were 15 million excess deaths between 1959 - 1962 Negative effects of the Great Leap Forward
The Great Leap Forward is now widely seen, both within China and outside as a major economic disaster effectively being a "Great Leap Backward" that would affect China in the years to come Overall, the Great Leap Forward was a disaster. The Great Leap Forward - Consequences
Facing the prospect of losing his place on the political stage, Mao responded by launching the Cultural Revolution in 1966. One of the main focuses of the Cultural Revolution was the abolishment of the Four Olds: Old Customs, Old Culture, Old Habits, and Old Ideas. Mao and The Cultural Revolution
Red Guards Role in the Cultural Revolution • Throughout the Cultural Revolution, the Red Guards traveled throughout China, going to schools, universities, and institutions, spreading the teachings of Mao.
Mao's Little Red Book • was published by the Government of the People's Republic of China from April 1964 until 1976. • collection of quotations excerpted from Mao Zedong's past speeches and publications • requirement for every Chinese citizen to own, to read, and to carry it at all times during the later half of Mao's rule, especially during the Cultural Revolution.
Red Guards Role in the Cultural Revolution • The role of Red Guard was mainly to attack the "Four Olds" of society, that is what is believed to be old ideas, cultures, habits, and customs of China at the time. • Red Guards in Beijing and elsewhere in China had taken to the streets from their schools. • They made posters, speeches, criticized Party leaders, and some committed violent acts in the name of the Cultural Revolution.
The decision granted people the most extensive freedom of speech the People's Republic has ever seen, but this was a freedom severely determined by the Maoist ideological climate and, ultimately, by the People's Liberation Army and Mao's authority over the Army The Cultural Revolution
The Cultural Revolution • Many religious buildings such as temples, churches, mosques, and cemeteries were closed down and sometimes looted and destroyed • In August and September, there were 1,772 people murdered in Beijing alone. In Shanghai in September there were 704 suicides and 534 deaths related to the Cultural Revolution
The End of the Cultural Revolution • In October 1968, Liu Shao-chi was expelled from the party and this is generally seen by historians as the end of the Cultural Revolution. Mao had witnessed the removal of a potential rival in the party and therefore saw no need for the Cultural Revolution to continue.
Tiananmen Square • is the large plaza near the center of Beijing, China which sits to its north, separating it from the Forbidden City. • It has great cultural significance as a symbol because it was the site of several key events in Chinese history
Since 1978, Deng Xiaoping had led a series of economic and political reforms which had led to the gradual implementation of a market economy and some political liberalization that relaxed the system set up by Mao Zedong. Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 - Background
Some students and intellectuals believed that the reforms had not gone far enough and that China needed to reform its political system. They were also concerned about the social and political controls that the Communist Party of China still had Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 - Background
The Tiananmen Square protests in 1989 were in large measure sparked by the death of former Secretary General Hu Yaobang "rapid reform" and his almost open contempt of "Maoist excesses" His sudden death, due to heart attack, 1989 provided a perfect opportunity for the students to gather once again Hu Yaobang Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 - Background
The protests were begun by Beijing students to encourage free-market reforms and liberalization. Protesters believed that China had not gone far enough in economic liberalization and privatization. They also believed that the social reforms made by Deng Xiaoping had not gone far enough and China needed to reform its political systems. Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 - Background
100,000 students and workers marched in Beijing making demands for free media reform and a formal dialogue between the authorities The government rejected the proposed dialogue huge groups of students occupied Tiananmen Square and started a hunger strike Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 - Protests escalate
The number of dead and wounded remains unclear because of the large discrepancies between the different estimates. According to initial reports from the Chinese Red Cross, there were 2,600 casualties Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 - Protests escalate

Stock markets and commodities may have taken a beating last year but one commodity, cocoa, bucked the trend. It witnessed a surge in demand due to dry weather hurting production in some of the top producing countries such as Ivory Coast.
This has left cocoa processors such as Guan Chong Bhd (GCB) with a "happy problem" – they can't cope with demand. Not surprisingly, GCB's share price has surged from just RM2.05 on Jan 30 last year to RM3.22 currently.
GCB chief executive officer Brandon Tay Hoe Lian tells FocusM: "So we are facing a good problem right now and everything seems too good to be true. The last quarter and this quarter have been a blessing to us. This year, all we need to do is catch up with delivery because last year we had difficulties fulfilling everything."
As the world's fourth-largest cocoa processor, Johor-based GCB posted robust financials for the third quarter ended Sept 30, 2018, registering a 47.7% jump in net profit to RM43.87 mil from RM29.7 mil in the previous corresponding . Quarterly revenue also ticked up 10.3% to RM598 mil from RM542.86 mil on the back of higher cocoa sales volume, increased bean grinding and lower input costs.
Being chased by customers
Demand, according to Tay, has been ramping up over the last quarter and despite 2019 only being a few weeks' in, "people are already looking towards the first and second halves of 2020 in terms of orders," says Tay. "Customers are already chasing me for more since last year. This is a good thing, to have this privilege of being chased by your customers."
GCB grinds and processes cocoa beans into butter and solids. The latter is available in powder or "cake" form. Both butter and solids have seen steady demand, says Tay. "In terms of solids, normally we sell six months ahead but now we are selling nine months ahead and we are almost 90% sold already. For butter, we are looking at sales for the first half of next year."
The sustained appetite for cocoa butter and solids have boosted GCB's confidence this year, says Tay. "So far we feel good. Since everything is driven by sales, my total output is going to be almost done, the only focus now is delivery."
The only way forward, since Tay has his sales down pat, is expansion. "We are hungry to move forward," he says without giving specifics. "But this has been keeping us busy," he adds as GCB, despite being the fourth largest in the world, is "still rather small in relation to global potential. But we are looking to double our manufacturing capacity going forward."
Expansion has been a dominant theme for GCB since it decided to augment production last year after a few years of curtailing output. Among the measures the group undertook was a RM70 mil investment in a facility in Pasir Gudang, Johor, owned by GCB Cocoa Malaysia Sdn Bhd. GCB Cocoa was known as Koko Budi Sdn Bhd until GCB acquired the company, which was its rival, in June 2017 for RM17 mil. "This year, we should reach 235,000 MT of processed cocoa and we are confident of meeting the target," he says.
Going global
But Tay hints that the expansion will not be done on local shores. "I am not busy with Malaysia right now and we are looking at outside the country." This evolution, according to Tay, will see GCB set up operations in "major cocoa bean producing nations, thus giving us direct access to key cocoa bean sources and better quality control."
Another reason for the growth drive is to "improve sales in key chocolate consuming markets in Europe" he adds. European Union members are the largest consumers of cocoa but just like other commodities markets, cocoa has its fair share of protectionist policies that come in the form of export and import tariffs.
"Exporting our products to Europe will incur us an estimated 4.5.-8.9% in tax, so naturally we don't benefit. It's not competitive to be there," says Tay. "But we need to find newer ways to enter the market." This global expansion is one of such "ways" and the GCB team has been busy to meet this goal, he adds. "We intend to grow from an Asian-based company to a global cocoa player."
But size does matter for cocoa processors. "In our line, you need to be sizeable. All our competitors are getting bigger and bigger. So if you don't double up, you will be left behind," says Tay.
The timing seems right for GCB. "Conditions appear good in East Africa and Asia. Demand is said to be improving as offers from the new harvest start to increase," Jack Scoville, senior softs analyst at Chicago's Price Futures Group, wrote in a Dec 31, 2018, note. Bloomberg, in a Jan 15 survey, also found that cocoa grinding in Europe and North America have kept processing profits at high rates.
Rising demand has also been seen in Asia, including Malaysia where grinding shot up 23% year-on-year in the fourth quarter to 72,451 tonnes, according to the Malaysian Cocoa Board while the cocoa futures traded in London jumped 28% last year against the backdrop of stronger demand. Prices are still below the five-year average, making processing these beans a lucrative venture and stronger demand in 2019 is expected to continue, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
But there might be headwinds. "Firstly, the US interest rate hike as the group's loans were most denominated in US dollars, which means higher interest cost will affect profit margins. Secondly, growing global grinding capacity that may outpace demand growth, which might lead to another round of oversupply risk," says a KL-based softs analyst.
The last time the market witnessed an oversupply of cocoa beans was in 2014. GCB suffered low margins as a result of the oversupply, posting a net loss of RM17.56 mil in the financial year ended Dec 31, 2014.
But after that blip, the company not only posted a comeback but also a year-on-year profit increase to RM22.76 mil, RM42.58 mil, and RM91.05 mil for the financial years 2015, 2016 and 2017 respectively. One of the success factors has been a continual investment in production facilities, a feat that only few could pull off as it is capital heavy.
"Our extensive experience allows us to have the foresight in potential headwinds," says Tay. "In recent experience, we set up our plant in Batam as it is a freeport to facilitate tax-free movement of beans and machinery."
Indeed, the sheer nature of cocoa processing which requires heavy upfront capital has either deterred many from venturing into the market or have led others to either consolidate or wind up operations.
GCB started as a humble family business in the 1980s, engaged principally in the trading of cocoa beans, when Malaysia was among the top three cocoa producing nations in the world with more than 200,000 MT of cocoa beans harvested annually. During this stage, GCB started a small processing plant in Parit Jawa, which was close to cocoa plantations. The company grew and in 1991, it moved its operations to Pasir Gudang to be closer to one of the major ports in Malaysia and take advantage of the export market.
One of its major breakthroughs came in the early 2000s when GCB expanded its global reach by acquiring a 49% stake in Carlyle Cocoa Co in Delaware, US, through its wholly-owned subsidiary GCB America Inc. This helped provide GCB direct access to the US market.
As demand for processed cocoa began to rise, GCB more than doubled its annual grinding capacity to 200,000 tonnes from 80,000 in 2011-2012. That was when it set up shop in Batam as most of its cocoa beans come from Indonesia. The expansion came after the Indonesian government decided to slap an export tax on locally grown cocoa beans in April 2010.
Today, GCB is a mainstay of the billion-ringgit club on Bursa Malaysia with a market capitalisation of RM1.55 bil and has footprints in various parts of the region. Aside from operations in Batam and the US, it also has trading subsidiaries in Singapore and Indonesia.
Driven by demand
Tay also shrugged off concerns over its loans, noting that these would not depress the group's plans as the borrowings are short term. "We think that last year's profit and this year's profit should allow us to justify the expansion," says Tay, who also shrugged off concerns over the tense US-China trade war, the "no-deal hard Brexit" where the UK will make a clean break from the EU, and the anti-palm oil lobby in Europe, which has been a bane to the Malaysian government.
Some of these externalities, especially the trade war and Brexit, have led research houses such as Maybank IB Research to remain wary. "We expect portfolio capital flows to remain volatile," it said in a Jan 23 note.
The good news for GCB is that its share price has been moving upwards. This is in "anticipation of better results yoy," says the analyst. "But, do note that most of the positive catalysts have been priced in by now, leaving little upside in the near term. Moving forward, GCB's share price should mainly be driven by demand growth for chocolate products."
Regardless of how the future pans out for the markets, Tay is confident that GCB will be able to weather any storm as the cocoa industry has been known to be "recession-proof." Demand from multinational giants such as Nestle and Hershey's, which GCB counts among its long-term customers, has been stable and increasing, he says. "Thus cocoa is considered to be a safer commodity compared to others because cocoa ingredients are industrial food products that are used in a wide range of foodstuff globally. Thus there is global demand resilience even during a crisis. People may switch to lower-grade chocolates, but they will still eat chocolates during both bad times and good times, making it recession-proof."
Sticking to core business
One thing's for sure, GCB is not looking to diversify, notes Tay. "We are keen to expand our core business of cocoa processing. Instead of diversifying to different industries, we are looking towards expanding group capacity." This time round Tay, who joined GCB in 1993, will be banking on his experience in leading the company during both good and bad times to navigate newer markets.
"During the tough times, we actually cracked our heads, thinking whether we should expand or not. That was during the 2014 oversupply. We had to let go some of our downstream operations and just focus on grinding. So far we've made the right moves and we learned our lessons," he says.
What's changed since then, among others, is a more experienced team that has been with the company since the early stages. According to Tay, his "elite team" is ready to go into the next phase and some are already overseas working towards making GCB's goal a reality.
"We know the industry inside out and are able to manage all aspects of the group such as keeping production costs low, using advanced machinery and managing raw material procurement and currency hedging," he says, adding that another ace in GCB's bag is its long-term relationship with its suppliers as well as its rolodex of multinational customers such as Mars, Hershey's and Nestle.
Indeed, the cocoa industry is highly competitive as key cocoa producers boast large financial and production resources and many of them are vertically integrated from cocoa bean trading up to chocolate manufacturing. Customer satisfaction is of paramount importance.
But, ultimately, Tay believes GCB's love for cocoa will see the group move to greater heights through thick and thin. "We are passionate about the chocolate industry in Malaysia. Chocolate is our lifeblood so that's why we are devoting our entire lives to this industry," he says. FocusM

Sugoroku office is an excellent concept derived by designers Daiken-met Architects based in Gifu, Japan. The framework consists of a pile of cargo containers organized in a specific technique to make it into an office, in three ranges. That is an architectural marvel sporting areas for dwelling area, kitchen, design studio, penthouse flooring and the whole thing that you simply'd uncover inside a updated office. Gifu is principally an earthquake prone area, and this seems to be an outstanding precautionary measure taken to incorporate any dramatic pure fury.
The Sugoroku office improvement consists of solely minimal impression to tectonic plates, as there consists of no constructions beneath flooring. On the similar time, the development makes use of solely minimal area of land, which could struggle issues with inhabitants density and non- availability of land.
The development is supremely safe too. Stability is ensured by big metallic grid enclosing all the development. The Sugoroku house is for certain to catch your consideration immediately, and might be an beautiful cope with to your eyes. Concurrently, it is easier to disassemble all the development and relocate it to a special web site. Even though a brief lived settlement, the office finds space for all necessary elements very important for an office.
All you need for such a improvement are some cargo containers, metallic grid and naturally, an excellent architect. (Discovered on DesignBoom)

2 lbs choice boneless pot roast
2 tbsp olive oil
1 (16 oz.) can plus 1 cup beef stock
2 beef bouillon cubes/more to taste
Generous amount of garlic powder to taste
Generous amount of Morton seasoning salt to taste
Sea salt to taste
Pepper to taste
3/4 cup flour
Sliced fresh sourdough bread (Safeway)
Ore-Ida extra crispy fries/ make per directions on bag
Boneless roast:
Make sure roast is not cold before searing.
Pat dry and generously sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder and seasoning. Rub seasoning in as you go.
In a large pan heat 2 tbsp olive oil until very hot. Watch for splatter. I recommend a copper pan because it's great for searing. Sear roast on both sides until brown about 3 minutes or until a crust forms. Make sure to obtain a good sear at high heat. This is KEY to delicious gravy.
Transfer roast to large crock pot making sure to add all scrapings from searing pan. Add beef stock and bouillon cubes. Break bouillon up.
Cook on high 6 hours. Some crock pots may vary. (You will be able to cut it with a spoon.) Once done remove from pan and shred roast into small chunks. Leave roast drippings in crock pot.
Gradually blend with hand mixer or whisk 3/4 cup flour and 1 cup of beef stock in a bowl with NO clumps. The trick is to not add flour all at once, but gradually. You want to achieve a slightly thick paste. Add salt and pepper to taste, but be careful not to over salt.
Slowly pour flour mixture into drippings in crock pot maintaining high heat and stir constantly with whisk.
Taste as you go until you reach the perfect flavor. It is all the drippings from your roast that will flavor your gravy.
Holiday Honey Mustard Salad
1 head of Iceberg lettuce cut in half and shredded with serrated knife. Start on inside of lettuce to achieve long strips
1 tbsp honey
1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
In a bowl whisk together honey, mustard, olive oil and balsamic vinegar until blended. Toss with the shredded lettuce.
To serve:
Arrange each plate with 1 to 2 slices of sourdough bread open faced. Place roast pieces on top of bread and gently pour hot gravy over roast.
Alongside that place salad and Ore-Ida fries. You then want to take the whisk and gently drizzle gravy over fries and salad being careful not to saturate. Serve very hot.
Flourless Chocolate Cake
1 package (12 oz.) semisweet chocolate chopped
4 oz. unsweetened chocolate chopped
3 sticks (1 1/2 cups) butter, melted
1 3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup fresh water
7 eggs
2 cups Whipped Cream
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place chocolate in a bowl.
Melt the butter and pour into chocolate while stirring to help melt the chocolate. Heat the water and 1 1/2 cups sugar in a pan until boiling and add to chocolate mixture. In a separate bowl beat remaining 1/4 cup sugar and eggs until slightly thick.
Fold into chocolate mixture.
Butter a 9-inch cake pan and line bottom with parchment paper. I usually cut it to fit. Pour mixture into pan.
Place in oven on top of cookie sheet. Fill cookie sheet with a little water (This will allow for a VERY moist cake).
Bake 40 minutes and remove from oven. Please be extremely cautious when removing the sheet so as not to burn yourself on the hot water.
Put the cake in the fridge and allow to cool 3 hours.
Gently turn upside down and remove from cake pan and serve with dollops whipped cream. This cake has a richer and more decadent flavor even after a few days. For dinner parties prepare a few days ahead and keep covered in fridge.
Tip: Baked products will always pick up unwanted flavors in the refrigerator. Double wrap strong flavored foods in seal tight bags and place in bottom of fridge.

Supreme and Levi's are back for another collaboration, filled with statement denim. The last collaboration from the duo in the spring was inspired by truckers. The street-wear aspect of the offering becomes luxe with the use of snakeskin. Snakeskin stone-washed overalls in three colors are lined with red buffalo plaid that contrasts from top to bottom, with Trucker Jackets to match. Supreme's branding is minimal, tagged onto the front pockets is a red tab, while Levi's used their signature fabric patch branding.
Supreme's highly anticipated Scarface collection is set to release this week. Supreme has a knack for embracing 90′s hip-hop and street culture and bringing it into a contemporary space, and they do that seamlessly with The Scarface collection and staying very Supreme. The capsule collection includes a leather jacket, sweater, hockey jersey, two hooded sweatshirts, four graphic tees, a beanie, two skateboard decks and a desk lamp. The pieces, dedicated to the classic film, use slightly edited imagery taken directly from the film or iconic quotes that fans will recognize. Much like the scarface leather jackets and t-shirts that dominated the streets of New York City in the 90s, Al Pacino is present throughout, highlighting the inspiration, while the lamp is a very Supreme item.
Supreme knows how to get their consumers out on the sidewalks in hoards, anticipating the opening of the shop doors to get their hands on a piece of their latest collection.

What the collection features most is a vast selection of outerwear. Stand out pieces include a bright, lime-green shearling jacket, the peachy colored long parka lined with fleece, which is part of the Champion collaboration, a plaid overcoat and a color blocked quilted parka in black and pink. Unlike most fall/winter collections, the brand used vibrant colors instead of the usual neutral, muted colors reserved for winter.
Declaring that it was time to set "streetwear aside," powerhouse, skate-brand, Supreme said Wednesday that they would temporarily stop campaigning the promotion of the third installment in their classic "Muppet Series" Tees and seek to delay Fridays release of the shirt in order to help with the economic crisis that is currently dominating the industry. The original asking price for the shirt was $700 billion, but come November people on the street are speculating that the tee can be had for a mere $10 bucks on Canal St.

text: Interview Questions To Avoid by Mike Poskey Four potential dangers when interviewing are 1) asking improper questions; 2) making discriminatory statements; 3) making binding contract statements; 4) allowing personal biases to cloud your judgment. The following are examples of questions that should be avoided in interviews because they may be alleged to show illegal bias. Citizenship Are you a U.S. citizen?" (adversely impacts national origin) Physical/Mental Handicaps "Do you have a visual, speech, or hearing disability?" "Have you ever filed a workers compensation claim?" "How many days of work did you miss last year due to illness?" Marital/Dependents Status "Are you planning to have a family? When?" "Do you have children? How old are they?" Organizations "What off-the-job activities do you participate in?" Sex "Would you have a problem working with a female partner?" Place of Origin/Birthplace "Where were you born?" "Where did you grow up?" Age "What year did you graduate from high school?" (reveals age) Religion "What is your religion?" "What religious holidays do you normally observe?" Military Service "What type of discharge did you receive from your military service?" Prior Criminal Record "Have you ever been arrested or charged with a crime?" (can only inquire about previous criminal convictions) Name "Would you like to be called Miss, Mrs., or Ms.?" (denotes marital status) As you can see, these rather simple and seemingly non-threatening questions can easily violate one of the aforementioned dangers when conducting interviews.

I imagine you laying here beside me
Feeling like it's always been that way
In my car at the cell phone waiting area of the Honolulu airport. Waiting. Waiting for…
I look at my phone for the zillionth time since getting there, checking to be sure I didn't miss her call. She's going to call when she's landed and able to turn on her phone. I'm going to drive round to the pick up area outside the baggage claim for her airline. I've already driven past to see where that will be so I know exactly where to go. I've already checked and rechecked her plane's arrival time again… and again.
I'm so excited!
I'm not nervous at all. My mind has gone over and over what will happen when we are finally together. Finally able to touch, kiss… make love. Three days of bliss. Three days of gazing into each other's eyes and making plans for the rest of that day, the rest of her visit, the rest our lives… together at last.
E-Harmony.com is such a perfect online dating site. It's system for matching compatibility is so good. I think back on all that lead Marcy and I to this day. Going through all the levels of connection. Seeing so many areas of compatibility between us that soon eliminated the others. The others who matched pretty darn well and with whom I'd also had many intimate interactions. Some quite intimate indeed.
But none of them were like Marcy. Marcy wasn't even the only one to call. I talked on the phone with at least two other women I'd had those pretty darn intimate interactions with on the site. But it was during the calls when I knew Marcy was the one.
At first (this was so cute) she called so I could go over with her some ideas about a case she was working on. Marcy is a layer. She has her own small firm on the east coast with her law partner. We spoke several times about that case. Long calls about how to properly word some letter she was composing. I LOVED helping her on that. How much it affirmed her appreciation, her respect for my words. I'm a word guy see… I write words. I'd been practicing my writing online for a while now. Writing and sharing stories and songs.
And now my words were bringing Marcy to me.
After months of long conversations on the phone, some including long periods of mutual silence… just being together. No words needed. Then, playful, slightly sexy calls after she received the CD of my original music I'd sent her, along with my "It's All True" t-shirt and a special song written just for her. She'd put the shirt on, lay down in bed and called me.
What a turn on!
Yes, of course we were in love. We were so right for each other, there was nothing left to do but embrace and get started with…
The real.
Sitting there in my car at the cell phone waiting area of the Honolulu airport, I was so ready for a reality I KNEW was the TRUTH! I was finally going to have the love I'd been waiting for. The love I knew I needed and deserved after… after all I'd been through.
Marcy Marcy Macy…
Marcy was the one.
Marcy loved me.
The real me.

Lost Opportunities
The National Restaurant Association estimates that, on average, 7% of revenue in QSRs is lost to employee theft. Small-scale theft at the POS adds up, leaving restaurants less profitable than they should be. To explore the financial impact of employee theft on your business view our common POS theft scams infographic and then simply select your approximate revenue and what level of loss you suspect, in the table below. See what you may be missing out on when your revenue is only 90-95% of what it should be.
Click the loss percentage on the x-axis and your annual revenue on the y-axis to reveal your estimated pre-theft revenue.
Stop chasing theft. Instead, prevent it from happening in the first place. With a small investment in biometrics at the POS you can prevent employee theft and stop wasting precious resources on investigation and prosecution, as well. Every dollar of employee theft you prevent helps reclaim profits that are rightfully yours. Fill out the form below to learn more about biometrics solutions that can make a big difference for your bottom line.

Valentines Games and Song Ideas for Kids
Love is in the air, and probably in your children's classrooms! Get ready for February 14 with this selection of fun children's Valentine's Day games and songs for kids.
If your kids have worked up an appetite, make sure to check out this selection of Valentine's Day Snacks and Food to be enjoyed after these games and songs!
Valentine's Day Songs and Movement Ideas
Valentine's Day Games
1. Plan a "Healthy Heart Day."
Celebrate a healthy heart with fun, aerobic activities that get children up and moving. You can set up several skill stations; this is an idea adapted from Celebration Games: Physical Activities for Every Month.
Stations can include:
♥ Step Aerobics Station:
Set up four or five step aerobic steppers and music. Demonstrate several aerobic exercises and have children perform three aerobic exercises of their choice at this station (ie. jumping jacks, jumping rope, jogging in place). See more heart-healthy exercise ideas.
♥ Cholesterol:
Pictures of both high and low cholesterol foods are taped down. Children throw beanbags underhand from a throw line at low cholesterol foods.
♥ Blood Pressure:
Make a sign that says "normal blood pressure 120/80" and tape down pictures of things that can raise blood pressure such as smoking, unhealthy foods, lack of exercise and stress. Children throw beanbags from a throw line at the things that will raise blood pressure. (You can put point values on targets and total points)
♥ Healthy Snack Table:
at culmination of activity.
Divide the children into groups and disperse them evenly among the stations
Place them in a numerical order and have them keep this order for all stations. Set the number of tries for each turn and announce when it is time to rotate to the next station. Leave ample space between stations and advise children not to stand in the throwing areas.
2. Valentine's Limbo Contest
♥ Play regular Limbo, but when children go out,they must say something nice about child in front (or back) of them. A great Valentine's Day game idea for encouraging kindness!
3. Friendship Cooperation Relay Game
♥ Use tape or chalk to mark starting and turn-around points on the floor. Match children with partners (You could use the broken heart game in the above idea) and then divide the group into teams. If teams are uneven, have one pair go twice.
♥ Each pair holds a towel between them with an inflated balloon resting on top of the towel. At the signal, have each pair race from the starting point to the turn-around line and back–while balancing the balloon on the towel.
♥ If the balloon falls off–the pair must stop and replace it. Each pair then hands the towel with the balloon to the next pair in line—until all have had a turn!
4. I Love!
♥ All sit in a circle. Have someone start by taking a ball and saying "I Love" and then say something they love, such as, "I love ice cream."
♥ They then roll the ball to someone else in the circle and it becomes that person's turn to say something they love.
♥ The next person might say "I love bears" and then roll the ball on to someone else.
♥ Just as with all good game playing. Continue and END BEFORE the children grow tired of it.
♥ NOTE: This is a good way to get kids to think about the things they appreciate and learn about each other.
5. Friendship Tower
(Good for Valentine's Day and also Building Team/Program Spirit)
♥ Divide the group into teams of four or five children.
♥ Distribute construction paper and tape to each team.
♥ Explain to the teams that they will have ten minutes to build the tallest tower they can without talking. They can use only the given supplies.
♥ At the end of ten minutes, have each team display their tower and discuss whether it was easy or difficult to build and why.
6. Instead of Simon Says, play "St. Valentine Says"
One player is the leader or St. Valentine, and orders the other players to make motions by saying "St. Valentine says," and then an action.
They might say "St. Valentine says thumbs up", "St. Valentine says hands on your head" or "St. Valentine says jump up and down." The leader also makes all of these motions. If he omits the "St. Valentine says" part, and just orders "Thumbs up" or "Jump up and down", the players must not make the motion. Anyone who does so is out of the game.
The winner is the player who remains in the game the longest.
7. Stuffed Heart/Teddy Bear Race
♥ Divide the youth into two groups (if not even, have one child go twice). Give each team a small stuffed Valentine heart. Have one child from each team place the heart between their legs and hop to the end of the room and back. They give the heart to next child in line, and this repeats until children have had their turn. The first team done is the winner.
8. Make Stuffed Hearts for the Valentine's Day Game in #7
Two 8″ squares of red or pink felt
8″ cardboard heart templates to use as a pattern
safety pin
fabric paint
polyester fiberfill…
Use the cardboard heart pattern template to trace two hearts onto the felt. Cut out hearts and place one on top of the other. Put a safety pin through the middle of the hearts to hold them in place while gluing. Glue the two pieces of felt together along the edge leaving a 3″ opening. Use fabric paint to add a child's name to the top of each pillow; let dry. Stuff the heart with fiberfill and glue the pillow shut.
9. Valentine Day Bean Bag Toss Game
♥ Take a cardboard box and cut out 5-6 Valentine hearts. Make them big enough for young children to throw bean bags through.
♥ Decorate the box in a Valentines Day pattern and colors.
♥ Have the children take turns throwing bean bags in into the holes.
♥ If budget allows, have a prize for the child who gets the most in with three throws, and small prizes for ALL players.
♥ If you don't have a box you can always draw hearts on a ground or wall with red or pink chalk and try to toss your bean bags. into them instead.
10. "What's On My Back" Valentine's Day Guessing Game
♥ Create some name tags with words that relate with Valentine's Day, such as: hearts, flowers, red, white, pink, and love.
♥ You'll then tape this tags on people's backs-but they can not look for the names. They must not find out what word is on their tag until the game starts.
♥ Everyone goes around and gives each other clues about the "valentine word" on their backs. You can ask a person only one question at a time. The game continues until everyone has found what theirs tag says.
11. Buzz Bomb Balloon Game
1 balloon per player, not inflated,
Large heart shape from butcher paper
tape for center of target
Formation: line or circle
♥ All players inflate their balloon. Some players may need help.
When the leader says "1, 2, 3, GO!" the players release their balloons in the direction of the target. (the large heart)
♥ Score 5 points for the closest balloon and 15 points for a direct hit.
♥ This game works well with teams – each team gets their own colored balloons; red, blue, green etc. Or, you do not need to keep score at all and just have fun playing the game several times.
12. Valentine's Day Tiddly Winks Game
Before play—cut a medium paper heart. Provide each player with 4 plastic disks (Tiddly Winks or Bingo markers).
♥ Form a circle at a table or on the floor. Place the heart in the center of the circle. When you say "Go" the players "shoot" their disks onto the heart by pressing the edges with another disk.
♥ How many can they get to land on the heart?
♥ It's harder than you think! Let the kids try this as many times as they would like. If you have a large group of
children, divide players into smaller groups and make more heart "targets".
13. Throwing the Smile! (Circle Game)
In this game, players are forbidden to smile, but –giggling and laughing will abound anyway.
1. Players sit in a circle, making sure they can see everyone else. One player who is "It" starts the game by smiling widely, while all the other players are somber. "It" then uses their hand to wipe the smile off their face and throw it to another player, who has to catch the smile with their hand, and then put it on.
2. The new "It" can wipe off the smile to throw to someone else (though he/she will probably choose to make funny smile faces at everyone for a minute or two before relinquishing the happy role.) Meanwhile, all other players must sit stone-faced. One smirk and they're out.
The youngest players are the least successful at winning this game (they simply can't stop themselves from laughing), but they also tend to enjoy it the most.) Cassie/Mi. Adapted from: familyfun.go.com
14. Heart Unhid Valentine's Day Game
♥ Staple a 2″ piece of string to a heart cut out of posterboard or construction paper. Hide the heart while all players close their eyes. The Valentine maybe covered but the string must be left exposed and visible.
♥ Tell players to search for the Valentine, but when they find it they should not pick it up or tell anyone. Instead they must just go and sit back down and say "Hearts Unhid!"
♥ They then wait until everyone else has found it. The first player to sit down then may hide the heart. Source: partygamecentral.com
15. Valentine Heart Relay Race Game
♥ Cut a large number of hearts and write a different instruction on each heart for a relay race Such as:
Skip, crawl, crab walk, hop, walk backwards, etc.
♥ Duplicate the instruction for the number of Teams you will have playing. (Example: Three teams equals three sets of instructions)
♥ Divide the children into groups (if not even, have one child go twice) Put the hearts at the end of the room in a pile for each team.
♥ On go, the first player on each team runs up to the pile and takes a heart. The players come back to the group doing what it says on the heart. When the first players get back, the next players run to the hearts and play continues…
♥ Return the hearts to the bottom of the pile until ALL have had a turn.
Tip: Laminate the hearts for future Valentine Day games. This game can also be adapted to other themes such as St. Patrick's Day with shamrocks instead of hearts.
16. Themed Word Race
Challenge your friends to a race of the minds. (This can be played between two people or 3 or 4 youth on each team)
♥ Set a kitchen timer for one minute. When the time starts, write down as many Valentine AND friendship related words that you can think of. Example: heart, cupid, love, gifts, candy, sweets, sweet, cards, flowers, jewelry, dinner out, kiss, hug, like, roses, arrow, ribbons, paper doilies, present, friends,etc.
17. Valentine Gift Game
This is a version of the 'Halloween Mummy Wrap' game!
For Valentine's Day, instruct the children that they are wrapping a Valentine gift. When they are done wrapping their "gifts," give them a big red bow to finish the package. Play this game in pairs or small groups.
18. Share Their Heart Game
♥ Before you play, make half as many 24″ hearts as there are children in the group.
♥ Tape the hearts to the floor in a large circle.
♥ Play music and have the children walk around the circle of hearts. Stop the music intermittently.
♥ When the music stops, have each child stand on a heart with both feet. More than one child can share a heart. Children may hang on to one another in order to stay on their heart.
♥ Do not eliminate palyers – instead, eliminate hearts.
♥ Start the music again. While children are walking, remove one heart. Eliminate a heart each round-until it is impossible for children to use any fewer hearts. From book: Let's Party, by Cathy Allen Falk
19. Where's Your Valentine? Game
(Played like "Doggie Doggie where's your Bone?")
♥ Have one child sit in the middle of the circle while covering their eyes.
♥ Give another child a Valentine to hide behind their back.
♥ Have all other children put their hands behind their back.
♥ Chant the following verse:
Valentine, Valentine,
Where's your match?
Wake up quick,
And find them fast!
♥ The child in the middle gets three guesses. The one who hid the Valentine is the next to go into the middle.
20. Musical Valentine's Pass (Pre-K – Gr. 3)
♥ Prepare a large heart from construction paper before the party.
♥ Put children in a circle, and play silly Valentine music while they pass around the paper heart.
♥ The person holding the heart when the music stops wins a treat.
♥ Bring plenty of treats to make sure each child receives one.
21. Valentine's Pictionary Game
Divide youth into two groups.
Have one child from each team draw a Valentine object on the blackboard while the rest of the team tries to guess what is being drawn.
22. The Biggest Smile
This is not a game, but a great group activity to see who can give the biggest smile!.
One at a time measure people's smiles with a ruler or measuring tape. This is fun. You can also measure the zany faces! Take photos as you do this as people are smiling BIG!
23. Valentine's Tearing Paper Contest
♥ Have each participant hold a piece of valentine colored construction paper in their hands–behind their back.
♥ They tear the paper into a heart shape without looking at what they are doing.
♥ Who's created the most "heart-looking" heart shape!?
24. Put the Lips on Miss Valentine
(A version of Pin the Tail on the Donkey)
♥ Create a Miss Valentine with large, heavy poster board or cardboard. Be creative and use moving eyes, false eyelashes and pipe cleaners for hair (everything but the lips).
♥ Write a "number" on each pair of red lips cut out of construction paper; Place tape on the back of them.
♥ Put a blind fold on the children and have them put the lips on the Ms. Valentine.
25. Broken Hearts Match Game
A good 'lead in' game to find partners or just have fun!
♥ In advance cut each heart into two pieces with BOLD, UNUSUAL LINES- SO EACH ONE IS UNIQUE!
♥ Distribute one-half of a heart to each child.
♥ At a signal have the children find the other half of their hearts.
26. Kiss Me Quick
♥ Hide Hershey Kisses around the room and have a race to see who can find the most kisses. (Large group? Break children into smaller groups with multiple hunts or in different areas)
♥ A good idea would be to combine all collected candy kisses– and divide them evenly between the children.
27. Heart Bean Bag Toss
1. Before play: Cut a LARGE heart "target" out of paper or fabric.
2. Use a marker to make a large X in the center.
3. Make or purchase three bean bags.
4. To play – place the heart on the floor and a strip of tape an appropriate distance away. Six feet for young children, farther for older children.
5. The players form a line and take turns standing with their toes on the tape.
6. Toss the Bean Bags one at a time attempting to hit the X.
28. Chocolate Face
Place a piece of chocolate candy in your mouth– and see how long it takes to melt!
No sucking and chewing it!
The one to keep the chocolate IN THEIR MOUTH THE LONGEST is the winner!
Keep the laughs going with these Valentine's Day jokes you can tell to your kids!
Valentine's Day Songs and Movement
29. Won't You Be a Friend to Me?
(To tune of London Bridge)
Won't you be a friend to me? Friend to me? Friend to me?
Won't you be a friend to me? And I'll be your friend, too!
♥ Randomly give each child a small object of pink, red or white to hold. (You could use small paper hearts, crayons, beads, etc.)
♥ Depending on the number of children in the group, use two or three different colors. Make sure the objects each have a mate of the same color
♥ Teach children the song: Won't you be a Friend to Me?
♥ When children all have a colored object, they walk about the room singing the song. When the song is complete, they partner with a 'friend' who holds the same color that they are holding.
♥ When matched with a friend, they both sit down as quickly as possible. When all are sitting, children change colors with each other and a new round begins!
30. I'm a Little Valentine
(To tune of I'm a little Tea Pot)
I'm a little valentine
Red and White
With ribbons and lace
I'm a beautiful sight
I can say, "I Love You"
On Valentine's Day
Just put me in an envelope
And give me away
31. My Special Friend
(To tune of London Bridge)
My Valentine is red and white
Red and white, red and white-
My Valentine is red and white
It's for a special friend.
Can you guess my special friend,
Special friend, special friend?
Can you guess my special friend?
Did you guess? It's you!
32. Do you know my Valentine?
(Sing to the tune of The Muffin Man)
Do you know my valentine,
My valentine, my valentine?
Do you know my valentine?
Their name is _____.
33. Love, Love, Love
(Sing to tune of Three Blind Mice)
Love, love, love…
love, love, love-
See how it grows
See how it grows.
I love my friends and they love me.
We love each other that's plain to see.
There's plenty for a family.
Love, love, love…
love, love, love.
34. Valentine's Finger Play Song
Demonstrate putting the 'heels' of hand palms together. Curve all the fingers so tips are down-ward and meeting to make a heart. When all children have learned the movement-say it with the following poem.
I part my hands together
This is how I start…
I curve my fingers right around
And I can make a heart!
35. Five Little Valentine's Song
5 little Valentines from the grocery store-
I sent 1 to mother, now there are 4.
4 little valentines pretty ones to see-
I gave one to my brother now there are 3.
3 little valentines red, yellow and blue-
I gave one to my sister now there are 2.
2 little valentines, oh we have fun-
I gave one to Daddy, now there is 1.
1 little valentine, the story is almost done-
I gave it to mother, now there are none.

You will be given a fixed set of Hammers each Level and you have to use each of the Hammers wisely and figure a way to destroy all Blocks in sequence. ◆ Hammer and Block Stats ◆ Each Hammer and Block has their own characteristic and stats in the game. A Hammer has its own damage and rules that define what Blocks they can destroy. A Block contains a specific health that determines how tough they are. ◆ Hammerpedia and Blockpedia ◆ These books will guide and give you knowledge to the world of Hammer Blocks. It gives you full details and stats of all Hammers and Blocks.

As a winemaker, Panther Creek does not have its own vineyards. There are benefits to not having your own vineyard. Most notably, the winemaker can choose to make wines using fruit from different sources. I have previously reviewed Panther Creek's Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir (2006), where the winemaker obtained all of the grapes from the Shea Vineyard in Oregon's Willamette Valley.
Both Clare and I purchased the Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir during our honeymoon, when we also picked up another Panther Creek wine, its Vista Hills Vineyard Pinot Noir. The Vista Hills Vineyard is a forty-five acre vineyard located in the Dundee Hills AVA (American Viticultural Area) of Willamette Valley. The family owned vineyard grows Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris grapes. The Pinot Noir grapes are Pommard clones, which originated in Burgundy, France. And, when they are not bottling their own wine under the Vista Hills Vineyard label, they sell their fruit to local winemakers, like Solena, Panther Creek.
I could not find any information on the 2006 wine, but I did find the winemaker's notes for the 2007 wine. While wines can differ from year to year, those notes can provide a guide. Panther Creek describes its wine as having bright, ruby tones. This wine is brighter than many of the Oregonian Pinot Noir wines that I have tried. The aromatic elements of the wine are very fruit forward. The winemaker describes the aromas as having berries, rose petals and cloves. I can definitely see the berries and even the cloves. The rose petals did not seem to come forward in the bottle that we tried. As for the taste, I think the wine had flavors of raspberries, strawberries and other bright fruit, as opposed to dark cherries or plums. The winemaker describes the wine as having the flavors of strawberries, cream, brandied cherries, and earth tones. While I think this is a very good wine, I did not pick up all of the flavors that the winemaker suggests.
A bottle of Panther Creek sells for $40.00 per bottle. It is available from the winemaker's website.

Elephant does not have a website. There is no Elephant Facebook page. The Elephant does not Tweet.
What Elephant is is a throwback to the underground literary culture of old, when poets put their work together and printed them out by hand, mimeograph machine, and then copier, stapled the pages together and handed them out on the streets. A zine of the truest kind, almost a broadside, no spine, just a staple in the corner. There is no price on Elephant, if you email the editor, he'll email you an issue for free. If you ever visit New London CT, you can find piles of copies available in almost every art gallery and all of the bars. You can also find it hiding out incognito in other cities, City Lights in San Francisco tends to carry a copy or two.
So you might be asking yourself, why on earth would this writer, who has published all over, and actually gotten paid to do so, want to be in a little two page pamphlet of poetry? Because the work is quality, I am proud to share pages with the people I do in the January 2010 issue. Richard Martin of Boston MA, Diane Di Prima of San Francisco, who has been a hero of mine ever since my first husband gave me a copy of Women of the Beat Generation by Brenda Knight. The Elephant is in the Room, quietly reminding us why we became writers in the first place, to have a voice.
If you want a copy, or to submit some of your work, the Elephant does have an email address, email@example.com, and snail mail:
Jake St. John
152 St. John Rd.
Since you can't find it online, the poem Mr. St. John published of mine in January, Omniscience, is below.
While every house on Broadway sleeps
St. Pats keeps watch, looming
silent as concrete while its spotlights
announce a higher power
to the taverns winking
out on Main.

In what happens to be an isolated incident, Xiaomi Mi A1 exploded when the device was left charging the whole night. Luckily, the owner was unhurt. If you look back Samsung has to bear the brunt of the customers owing to the battery explosions of Galaxy Note 7 in the past. This has left the company's reputation in dire straits forcing the company to issue a public apology and also discontinue the production of the devices. Thereafter, Samsung issued an official statement assuring its customers that such incidents would not repeat in the future. Also, not long ago, we have reported an incident, wherein the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 caught fire in woman's purse.
Now a new report surfaced that claims Xiaomi Mi A1 caught flames while the owner was asleep. According to the complainant, the device was kept on charging and was close to the owner. The device was kept on the nightstand, and the owner did not notice the explosion until he woke up in the morning. Apparently, the owner happens to be shaken by some sort of noise in the night, but he ignored it and went back to sleep. It is further learned that the device was in perfect working condition and did not have any heaving issues or any other problems of the sort prior to the explosion.
The device was covered in a protective shell and it played a vital role in minimising the effects of the explosion. From the images given in the reports, it appears the phone has been completely damaged in the explosion. According to the source, the owner has been using the phone for the past 8 months. They reported the incident to the customer care but Xaiomi is yet to issue an official response. Most of the incidents reported in the past with regard to explosions took place when they are left for charging for a long time. With larger batteries and faster charging, it is better to avoid leaving your phone charging overnight. Also, make sure to place your phone in a safe distance away from your bed.

There is no mention of the location where the incident took place. The M1 A1 has been a global success and paved the way for the launch of its successors like Mi A2 and A2 lite.

Uniball Posca PC-3M Marker Pens Starter Set 8 Pack
Spiral Bound Kraft Scrapbook 12 x 12 Inches
Using a pencil, make a very loose, light sketch of where you'd like your flowers to be positioned. Now draw a white narcissus flower. Start by drawing a triangle of three petals with the white POSCA as shown, then making loops in-between the shapes before filling in with the white pen.
Draw your star flowers. Again, using a white POSCA, make a three curved marks, one at the top and two at the bottom. Add two lines between the triangular shape so the shape resembles a leaping man, then draw curves around the lines to make petals and colour in.
To create the rose motifs, use a yellow POSCA to make dots and dashes to produce a floral centre, make larger curved shapes around the central marks. Build the flower up with more shapes until you are happy with the size. Then fill out.
Use the red POSCA to make the poppy shape by drawing three triangles, one at the top, two at the bottom, join up by drawing two triangles in-between and colour in.
Construct the pink peony flowers by drawing a simple circle and joining at the side with pink curved lines.
Colour in the central circle of the peony in pink and blend white and pink POSCA colours on the side petals.
Add lavender stems and forget-me-nots by drawing-in hearts along a curved line with the purple POSCA and making a cluster of five blue heart shapes with the blue POSCA.
Using the green POSCA draw-in stems and leaves as shown.
Make flowing flower centres in the white narcissus and poppy shapes using yellow and black POSCAs as illustrated. Do this by making expressive pen strokes from the centre of the flower along the inside shape of each petal.
Use contrasting POSCA colours to make dotty centres in all of the flower shapes, except the roses, as pictured. Work out from one large central spot and add little dots with the tip of your pens.
Add highlights and definition to the flowers and leaves with dots and dashes of yellow and white POSCA markers.
Finish with your monogram. Write a simple letter shape, Add lines around the outside of the initial, adding accents and curves as you connect the lines.
Colour in your initial.

Improving Federal Statistics for Policy and Social Science Research Using Multiple Data Sources and State-of-the-Art Estimation Methods
Project Scope
The Committee on National Statistics will convene an ad hoc panel of nationally renowned experts in social science research, computing technology, statistical methods, privacy, and use of alternative data sources in the United States and abroad. The panel will conduct a study with the goal of fostering a paradigm shift in federal statistical programs—from the current paradigm of providing users with the output from a single census, survey, or administrative records source. The new paradigm would include combinations of diverse data sources from government and private sector sources. These data would be combined with state-of-the art methods to give users richer and more reliable statistics leading to new insights about policy and socioeconomic behavior. The study shall: 1) examine issues of access to alternative sources of data for federal statistical programs and the organizational structures sustaining access; 2) evaluate designs of statistical processes that foster privacy protections, transparency, objectivity, timeliness, replicability, efficiency, and continuity of statistical series 3) evaluate concepts, metrics, and methods for assessing the quality and utility of alternative data sources, analogous to the "total error" framework used for surveys; 4) evaluate statistical models for combining data from multiple sources; 5) examine metrics and methods for evaluating the quality of combined-information estimates; 6) provide "proof of concept" examples of such procedures; and 7) identify priorities for needed research and development to further the multiple-data-sources paradigm, including research into and the use of remedial privacy technology. The panel will prepare a final report offering recommendations with the goal of improving official statistics and datasets for policy and social science research.
