This is a post in my series on organizing "between and beyond." Other posts are here. The purpose of this post is to compare Michell Holliday's framework for organizational thrivability with Integral Management, which I have written about here.
Michelle Holliday is a facilitator, consultant, researcher, presenter, and writer. Her work centers around "thrivability," which is based on a view of organizations and communities as living systems. It's this view which Michelle Holliday eloquently elaborates in her new book, The Age of Thrivability: Vital Perspectives and Practices for a Better World, which will be released this fall. Here is my book review.
Michelle Holliday uses the metaphor of a tree to offer useful guidance to living systems patterns:1
- Divergent Parts (Individual People).2
- Patterns of Relationship (Connective Infrastructure).3
- Convergent Wholeness (Shared Identity & Purpose).4
- Self-integration (Divergence, relationship, and convergence are self-organizing).5
Michelle Holliday has, with extensive contributions from Belina Raffy and Julie Bourbonnais, developed a framework that is based on the tree metaphor. The framework goes into another level of detail, beyond the tree. See figure 1. For example, if the root system represents divergent parts – or people within the organization – then the "fertile conditions" that must be cultivated are Mastery, Membership and Meaning. Here is a webinar where Michelle gives an explanation of the framework.
Michelle Holliday's framework is an integral framework that is nicely aligned with Integral Management, which I have written about here. Integral Management also views the organization as a living system,6 and explicitly focuses on the team as a "living group"7 and the leadership which is needed to ensure that the conditions of life are put in place.8 Leadership is needed to inspire and focus the energy, to facilitate interplay and learning, and to ensure a steady outflow of results.9 The leadership is distributed within the team. I have mapped some of the components in Integral Management into Michelle's framework. See figure 2. My changes are in blue, which are based on the book Manöverbarhet (maneuverability in English) by Lasse Ramquist and Mats Eriksson. My translation from Swedish to English.

Game One: Spalding University 4, University of the Ozarks 3
Game Two: Spalding University 4, University of the Ozarks 2
University of the Ozarks (6-12)
Spalding University (9-3)
Spalding overcame a strong pitching performance from starter Dalton Spurgeon to edge the Eagles 4-3 in game one. Spurgeon mowed down 11 Spalding batters over 8.1 innings, but ended up receiving the loss. A big RBI double from Spalding's Zane Baker in the top of the ninth proved to be the difference in the game against Spurgeon. But it was the Eagles who plated three runs in the first on two hits. Chase Edwards was responsible for two of those runs as he laced a single to centerfield. The other run came from a Spalding miscue in the field. Spalding matched the Eagles with three runs in the next frame to even the score. Neither team produced much offense until Spalding recorded two hits in the ninth. After allowing hits in the first and second, Spurgeon threw a hitless third, fourth, sixth, seventh and eighth innings. Edwards and Rey Lozano each had two hits.
Pitching Decisions:
WP: Aaron Blake (W, 1-2) 3.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 SO
LP: Dalton Spurgeon (L, 0-2) 8.1 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 11 SO

Overview: Pitchers David Beck and Brady Taylor limited Spalding to four hits, but the visitors pulled out a 4-2 win in game two. Spalding scored on an error in the first. The Eagles answered with a run in the bottom half of the inning on an RBI double from Breyden Varner. The Eagles took a 2-1 lead in the second behind a Josh Stephens solo home run. However, Spalding kept the Eagles off the board the rest of the way and pushed across the go-ahead run in the third on two-run homer. Starter David Beck went four innings and struck out three while allowing four hits. Brady Taylor threw three innings and did not allow a hit.
Pitching Decisions:
WP: Zach Jones (W, 2-0) 6.0 IP, 8 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 5 SO
LP: David Beck (L, 1-4) 4.0 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 4 BB, 3 SO
Ozarks Scoring Summary:
1st - Breyden Varner doubled to left center, RBI; Rey Lozano scored, unearned.
2nd - Josh Stephens homered down the lf line, RBI.
Up Next:
The Eagles will finish the series against Spalding Saturday at 12:00 p.m.

We receive a few repeat questions and have, for your convenience, listed these (with their answers) below. If your question is not answered here, please click here to leave an enquiry and a member of our team will revert.
Plan for one luggage bag to check, and one backpack that the volunteer can carry onboard, filled with important items, i.e. medicine, wallet, passport, yellow card (vaccinations), glasses or contact lenses, camera, book to read, sweatshirt or anything else they may need on the plane or would need in case a flight is delayed. Bring (and wear) minimal jewelry as bulky accessories could be a hinderance in the bush.
Laundry will be washed twice during your stay at Nakavango Conservation Centre. We suggest that you not pack blue or black clothing – it attracts tsetse flies which are a biting insect. Also, please note that IT IS ILLEGAL for civilians to wear any form of camouflage clothing.
- Short & long sleeve shirts (not blue or black or camouflage)
- Short and long pants (not blue or black or camouflage)
- Hiking boots and sneakers
- Sweatshirt/fleece top and windbreaker/rain jacket (not blue or black or camouflage)
- Backpack
- Warm hat & gloves
- Underwear & socks
- Toiletries
- Binoculars & camera (remember batteries)
- Sunscreen
- Personal medications in original containers with correct dosages and physician information if a prescription—enough for the entire trip
- International plug adaptors—voltage is 220V plugs: square 3-pin plug (as used in the UK)
- Sleeping bag and flashlight
The Victoria Falls Private Game Reserve and Nakavango Conservation Centre site fall within a malarial area and the risk of contracting the disease is considered moderate. We recommend that you contact your local travel clinic/CDC to find out more about anti-malarial drugs suitable for this trip. Volunteers should bring an adequate supply of malaria pills as prescribed by a physician, and insect repellent. Polio and tetanus shots should be current, and while yellow fever is not required to enter Zimbabwe from the U.S., it is recommended in case a flight is delayed or rerouted into another country that does. Another vaccination you may want to consider and discuss with your physician is Hepatitis A.
Keep in mind that when traveling overseas, items are not always readily accessible nor is the brand you may prefer. The centre staff will bring the most common over the counter medicines for day-to-day treatments: antacids, antihistamines, motion sickness relief, and routine aches & pains. Be sure to review and sign the. Nakavango Conservation Centre staff CANNOT DISPENSE ANY MEDICATIONS WITHOUT PARENT/GUARDIAN PERMISSION. Especially for ladies, do plan to bring feminine hygiene products even if you do not anticipate needing them. Travel can alter the body's normal routine.
Safety and security are of paramount importance to Nakavango Conservation Centre. The level of crime in Zimbabwe is no higher than many other countries around the world. The Nakavango team stays up to date with local issues and notes any potential problem areas to avoid.
There are doctors at the clinic in nearby Victoria Falls. For any serious emergencies, guests can be evacuated by air by the Medical Air Rescue Services to the nearest appropriate hospital. In case of any emergency, centre staff will communicate with parents just as quickly as phone service allows – we will have an international call enabled mobile phone with us – as to the nature of the illness/injury and treatment plan in action.
The site we will be using as base camp in Zimbabwe, Africa is Nakavango Conservation Centre based at the Victoria Falls Private Game Preserve. The curriculum will focus on conservation research projects, as well as community development and sustainability. The site is about 10 minutes outside of the town of Victoria Falls.
Victoria Falls is one of the natural wonders of the world and is recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. While at Nakavango, volunteers will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in conservation management activities and research projects, and contribute to community development as participants in the "Children in the Wilderness" program, (CITW).
Yes, a passport and visa are required, and each person will need to have $60US (currently) in cash for the visa when coming through immigration since no credit or debit cards are accepted. CASH ONLY. Volunteers are to ensure that each passport and visa is stamped correctly.Allow at least 3 months to apply for a passport. All visitors traveling to Zimbabwe need to have a least 4 completely blank pages in their passports for use by immigration upon arrival. Passports must be valid for 6 months after the anticipated return date to your country of origin.

First aid is available on site and during all activities, as your volunteer guides are first aid qualified. There are doctors and a clinic in Victoria Falls. For any serious emergencies, patients are evacuated by air by MARS (Medical Air Rescue Services) to the nearest, appropriate hospital. The Victoria Falls area is a malaria area; however, the risk of contracting malaria is moderate as the area is not a high risk area. Volunteers are advised to seek the advice of your doctor regarding anti-malaria precautions, and should bring insect repellent and an anti-histamine cream and tablets approved by your doctor.
Please ensure that your medical insurance while you are travelling is in order. You will need to pay cash to any doctor, clinic or hospital in the area should you need to make use of their services. You are advised to keep such receipts so that you can claim back from your insurance company after your trip.
It is very important that you include all necessary information, as per your booking form, regarding specific medical conditions.
HIV & AIDS: This disease is a huge problem all over the world, and in Africa especially; Victoria Falls is no exception.
To learn more about how it is affecting Africa, please visit the following website:
The tap water at the facility and in the surrounding areas is drinkable, but contains a bit of lime. Water on the Nakavango Estate is sourced from boreholes. Should you not enjoy the taste of the water, you are welcome to purchase bottled water.
Please ensure that you bring any medication specifically related to specific medical conditions, e.g. asthma, allergies, diabetes, etc. and ensure that you provide us with all necessary details of such conditions on your booking form.
Volunteers are not to exit the boundary of Nakavango, unless accompanied by your volunteer guide, or leaving with an arranged transfer – we are situated in a dangerous game area.
When visiting the town of Victoria Falls, it is unsafe to walk around at night, specifically due to dangerous wildlife that readily enter the town at night (and sometimes during the day!) Also, it is advised that volunteers do not engage with informal sellers of various goods in the streets as this invariably leads to harassment until the goods are purchased, and usually at unreasonable prices. There are tourism police readily available to escort you to various sites around town, and it is recommended that you make use of the services of the tourism police.
The tourist police are funded by private establishments in the Victoria Falls tourism community, and are easily recognisable by their navy blue police uniform and yellow bibs stating "Victoria Falls Tourism Police". However, the people in the town are very friendly, and we make the above recommendation in the interest of your enjoyment of Victoria Falls. Please feel free to seek the advice on any topics, especially related to your health and safety, from your volunteer guide.

Subject: Did IBM Help Nazis in WWII?
I have the book that made this claim – I was intrigued, until I started reading it ("Did IBM Help Nazis in WWII?," Feb. 12, 2001). It leaves me cold – the author is a sensation-seeker. I found myself getting very angry at the garbage that these folks are peddling.
So now we need to bring lawsuits against anyone who built railcars, trains, barbed wire, created electric generators that powered electric fences, etc. Is that what we are coming to? Oh, everyone making any device that was used to kill people during WWII must be blamed and sued.

Hubert Tang had not bought a lottery ticket in 10 years, but when he found a $20 bill on the street outside San Francisco International Airport Wednesday, he used it to buy two "$1 Million Jackpot! Scratchers" tickets, according to lottery officials.
Tang purchased the winning ticket at Andrea's Market, located at 1601 El Camino Real in Millbrae, lottery officials said.
Hubert Tang, who works as a bartender, does not plan on spending too much of his winnings; instead he wants to save most of it, carry on his job and maybe buy his mom a new car.

GraphLab Conference 2014
This year, my colleague Shobeir and I attended the GraphLab Conference to learn more about GraphLab and data science in general. The event began with a really great introduction by Carlos Guestrin, which illustrated GraphLab's strategy, vision and practices. After this we attended a few more high-level talks about GraphLab before delving into sessions specifically around data science, data engineering and deployment.
The GraphLab team introduced many exciting new features for GraphLab Create since its last release, including gradient-boosted trees for regression and classifications, deployment capabilities, hyper-parameter tuning, higher capacity SFrames, access to latent factors of matrix factorization methods and much more.
In the second session we heard from Alice Zheng, the director of data science at GraphLab, who spoke about machine learning toolkits in GraphLab Create. It includes tools for classification and regression, clustering, recommender systems, topic modeling and more. The session continued with additional talks, including one on scaling distributed machine learning with the parameter server by Alex Smola from Carnegie Mellon. We also enjoyed hearing from Tao Ye of Pandora on large scale music recommendation.
The third session focused on data engineering with GraphLab. First, we heard from Yucheng Low of GraphLab, who was a TA when I took an artificial intelligence course at Carnegie Mellon! His talk focused on two core data structures: SFrame and SGraph. It was great to hear some background on these data structures before getting our hands dirty with them the next day.
Another presentation that really stood out was Joe Hellerstein's talk on DSLs. Domain specific languages can make tasks much easier than they would be in a typical programming language. Hellerstein has worked on creating an environment that allows for a lot of very natural interaction with data and could definitely make data munging much less painful.
At Tagged, we've noticed how useful DSLs can be, and have worked on a system called FeatureBuilder that allows data scientists to define features in a DSL. Our aim is to allow data scientists to define a feature exactly once, without having to learn Scala, and using this definition as the "ground truth" through all phases of model building from exploration through production.
The last session covered deployment, or how to use all of this in the real world. Rajat Arya's talk took away any anxiety there might've been about the deployment process; the intention is that GraphLab Create is capable of being used from exploration straight up through production. There was another interesting talk by Milind Bhandarkar, chief scientist at Pivotal, about integrating GraphLab analysis on top of Hadoop data with Hamster. This seems like something we could really take advantage of at Tagged, and something we'd be very excited about trying. Vahab Mirrokni, head of the algorithms research group at Google Research NY, also told us about a fault-tolerant asynchronous message-passing algorithm that is being studied at Google.
In addition to speakers, there were also many interesting exhibitors showing the latest and greatest trends in graph databases, machine learning and big data analytics. Shobeir presented a poster on using GraphLab to detect social spam at Tagged, which was well received by the attendees. While this took place, I went on a random walk of the other booths to hear what everyone had to say.
On the second day of the conference we did lots of exercises with support from the GraphLab team. I loaded up GraphLab Create on my MacBook and got cracking. It was great to be working on exercises while surrounded by other people doing the same thing. Plus, there were great resources readily available to help — it felt like being back in school!
If you're interested in learning more, you can watch the sessions here and view the list of exhibitors at the conference here.

Under review
We are using Blackboard Collaborate Ultra. In this platform students are able to annotate in the whiteboard without the instructor having knowledge of which students is making the annotations. When students decide to be naughty, there is no way to know which student it is.
There is an option to make specific students moderator, but that leaves other students out of the collaboration.
I suggest there being a name next to each annotator on the whiteboard. Webex offers this feature and it is the one feature that our school misses.
Please address this concern - valued customer

If you have run any kind of road race in the past 20 years, you have probably come across a group from Team in Training (TNT). Their purple singlets stand out along the race course, as do the pom poms, signs, and cowbells that their supporters always seem to wave. I know that public opinion of the group is mixed. For everyone who loves the organization and what they stand for, there are others who believe that the group is a nuisance in a variety of ways. I respect that difference of opinion, but I must say that for me, after 12 years of involvement with the group, my experience has been overwhelmingly positive.
For those of you who don't know, Team in Training is a division of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), and one of the first ever fundraising endurance training programs. Team in Training participants agree to raise money for LLS, in exchange for coaching to help them complete a road race, cycling event, or triathlon. When I first signed up for TNT in 2003, I was a running newbie who relied heavily on my coach's advice to make it through the race. I have stayed involved over the years because I truly believe in the amazing work the LLS does.
I could probably write a whole blog about my varied TNT experiences, and over time, I would love to share more stories with you. Today, however, I want to share my reason for mentioning Team in Training at this point in time. After several years away from fundraising, I am rejoining the Team as a participant in this year's Marine Corps Marathon. Our school just lost one of our 7th grade students to complications from leukemia two weeks ago. Whenever I hear of a child who is plagued by cancer, I find myself feeling angry and helpless. Signing up with Team in Training is a way for me to counteract those feelings and move into action. Over the years, I have been fortunate to raise more than $20,000 for the society, something that would have been nearly impossible for me to achieve without my involvement with TNT. As I have sat this weekend, printing out fundraising letters, and writing out envelopes, I felt hopeful. Hopeful that one day, the work that we do and the money we raise will prevent another family from having to face the heartbreak of a cancer diagnosis.
I will continue to share my Team in Training experience this season on this blog. If you would like to support my fundraising, please travel to my TNT webpage here.

The initial step taken by an Irish landowner was to appear before delinquency courts where he was interrogated about his political conduct over the previous ten years thus determining his degree of guilt and the amount of land he was to forfeit. His local revenue commissioner then issued him with a Transplanter's Certificate, a licence to cross the Shannon. The certificate gave a brief description of the transplanter and those travelling with him, the type and number of livestock and other goods he proposed to take with him. He then appeared before commissioners in Loughrea who allotted him land in Clare or Connacht on a temporary basis according to his entitlement. He would have had to appear at court in Athlone a year or two later when he would have been given permanent title to his Connacht or Clare land. This was called his final settlement.
The Government offered every facility to those who obeyed orders and moved by the appointed day. The transplanters did not have to pay tolls for their cattle, neither did they have to pay rent on their land until their claims were finalised by the Athlone courts.
Some of the dispossessed joined the Tories in the woods and hills. They were outlawed by the Government but some of them were regarded as heroes by the Irish. The landless Irish who did not transplant risked their lives by giving the Tories food and shelter. They became a serious menace to the new planters, raiding their land, attacking and killing them. The Government offered large rewards for their capture so that Tory hunting and Tory murder became common pursuits. Members of the army were the first to be settled on the land vacated by the Irish, followed by the adventurers. The last adventurer was settled on 1 May 1659 marking the end of the transplantation.
The transplantation proved to be an enormous administrative problem. Acts and orders were constantly being reversed and revised, members of the army sold their debentures (documents entitling them to confiscated land) against orders, the supply of land was insufficient to meet the demands of those entitled to it culminating in what was officially described as 'frustration, fraud and injustice.'

5. How Do You Define Success?
Most people want to be successful, but not everyone knows what success looks like. In fact, the concept of "success" can be a real subject of contention because everyone has their own definition of success – and we should. Today, let's try to understand the meaning of success.
What does it mean to be successful? Do you consider yourself a success? If so, why? If not, what will success look like when you have finally achieved it?
These are important questions to ask yourself, because your happiness in life may depend upon your answers. Some people seem to believe that success means a wardrobe full of designer clothes, a fancy car and a beautiful house in a nice part of town. Other people think that success means not having to work at all after they win a few million in the lottery. Still others think that success is giving up everything they own and devoting their lives to helping others.
To a certain extent, all of these folks are correct. For many people, success means getting to do what you really want to do in your work life and in your love life, doing it very well, and feeling good about the fact that you're doing it. It is about finding your true purpose and using your talents and abilities, and discovering a way to live it out for the time that you have here.
It is perfectly fine to choose a purpose for yourself that doesn't mean much to the rest of the world. Failure comes only in having no purpose at all. It's not "failure" to perform poorly at things that don't have any value to you, as long as it doesn't intentionally hurt anyone. Failure is performing poorly or haphazardly at something that you have decided is important.
In the final analysis, you are a success when you are actively engaged in becoming the person you most want to be, contributing to society and not just taking up space. And in that, you are the only person who can define "success" for you. ~The Pacific Institute
6. Greg Walden elected as top Republican on Energy and Commerce Committee
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The House Republican Steering Committee has elected Representative Greg Walden (R-Hood River) to serve as the top Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee in the upcoming session of Congress. Walden today released the following statement:
"I thank my colleagues and am honored to have earned their support to serve as the Ranking Member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee in the next session of Congress. The Energy and Commerce Committee has broad jurisdiction over many of the issues we face in Oregon and across the West. Under my leadership, the Energy and Commerce Committee has worked in an overwhelmingly bipartisan manner to advance key legislation for our district.
"We've made historic strides in the fight against the opioid crisis, which takes the lives of more Oregonians than traffic accidents. We've modernized the Food and Drug Administration, to help patients in Oregon get access to the best cures and treatments available. Legislation we advanced to bridge the digital divide will help bring high-speed Internet to our district so rural communities can tap into the 21st Century economy. And we've passed into law measures that will help Oregon boost hydropower production, put old industrial sites back into active use through the EPA's Brownfields Program, and ensure people across our state have safe water to drink by upgrading our drinking water infrastructure. There is much more work to be done, and I look forward to working with my colleagues on the Energy and Commerce Committee to ensure that bipartisan success continues for Oregonians."

USS Unification
Once dominated by the Dominion, the Gamma Quadrant was an area where freedom was unheard of. It has now been a little over ten years since the end of the Dominion War which resulted in the loss of millions of lives and served to brake the Dominion's tight hold on the area.
The Bajoran Wormhole now serves as an open door to a drastically changing and shifting Gamma Quadrant. The cleanup after the war has been long and costly, but finally colonization has begun to the various worlds within the quadrant. Merchant trade between worlds is on the rise, with traffic between the quadrants at an exponential rise each year. Thousands have come from across the galaxy, with hopes of a new life and brighter future blazing in their eyes. For some their dreams have been realized, as hard work and foresight often pay off in the long run.
For others, however, the Gamma Quadrant is far from safe. Those whose dreams do not come to fruition, turn to the only way to ensure survival – piracy. Not only are trade partners and civilians taking advantage of the quadrant's wealth but so are the pirates, criminals and organized crime syndicates. However the Federation's presence is there too with Starfleet protecting it's citizenry, it's trade routes, providing support for the colonies and starbases that fly the Federation flag, and all the while discovering new and uncharted space.
Can the brave souls of the USS Unification weather the storm?

Defeating terror key to survival: Gilani
Hours after a suicide attack killed eight people, Pakistan's prime minister said in an Independence Day speech that the country must defeat extremism to survive.world Updated: Aug 14, 2008 12:52 IST
Hours after a suicide attack killed eight people, Pakistan's prime minister said in an Independence Day speech on Thursday that the country must defeat extremism to survive. As investigators sifted through the bloodied attack site in the eastern city of Lahore, Yousuf Raza Gilani admitted Pakistan "is passing through a difficult phase."
"We have to fight back the challenges of terrorism and extremism," the premier told an audience in the nation's capital, Islamabad. "The war against terrorism and extremism is the war of our own survival. With the people's cooperation we will fight this war and ensure the government's writ at all costs." At least 18 people also were wounded in the Lahore attack, which occurred just before midnight Wednesday as Pakistanis poured into the streets to celebrate the nation's 61st anniversary of its independence from Britain.
The bomber struck outside a mosque under police guard, leaving a gory scene of blood-soaked police uniforms, shoes and pieces of metal apparently from the bomb. The attack took place near a police station.
Investigators combing the site found body parts believed to belong to the attacker, including an intact face, said police official Suhail Chaudhry. The attacker appeared to be a man in his 20s, Chaudhry said.
Of the dead, two were police, and six were civilians, he said. Of the wounded, 12 were police and six were civilians. Two wounded police were in critical condition, Chaudhry said. Security forces are frequent targets of suicide attackers in Pakistan, where militancy is raging but has primarily been concentrated in northwest tribal regions bordering Afghanistan, where Taliban and al-Qaeda-linked fighters are based. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the Lahore bombing, but it came a day after Pakistani Taliban militants said they were behind an explosion that struck an air force vehicle, killing up to 14 in the northwestern city of Peshawar.
A Taliban spokesman said Tuesday's attack was revenge for Pakistani military operations against militants in the frontier region near Afghanistan. The spokesman, Maulvi Umar, said it was an "open war" between the militants and the armed forces, and threatened more attacks if the offensives did not stop. During his speech Thursday, Gilani also said that Pakistan has emphasized to the United States that it "cannot allow any unilateral action on Pakistani soil."
Late Tuesday, a suspected US missile strike in South Waziristan killed at least nine alleged insurgents, including foreigners _ the latest in a series of such strikes in the tribal belt. Intelligence officials said the camp is linked to the group of Afghan warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, whose followers are fighting US and NATO forces in Afghanistan. They said Arabs and Turkmen were among the dead.

Have you ever taken a moment to consider that plastic has become one of the most harmful materials to our environment?
You might not really be bothered by this fact but in the grand scheme of things, it creates both short term and long term effects, and will no doubt have hideous effects on future generations to come if we don't step up and do something about it.
From polluting oceans and harming wildlife, to filling up landfills without decomposing, it's all pretty terrible.
Good news, making the shift to living with less plastic is not as hard as it sounds and actually, it's becoming more and more rad to be a bit more conscious about your waste and environmental footprint.
These are some basic tips about how you can reduce your plastic in your home and essentially go virgin plastic free.
Uh …. no. It's virgin plastic. Virgin plastic is new plastic (as opposed to plastic that has been used before and then recycled).
We believe the world will be a better place if we stop using virgin plastics as much as possible.But we DON'T think you need to go totally plastic free though.
There's all this plastic in the world already and it's our belief that we should recycle it! These days lots of eco-conscious folk choose glass or tin over plastic but did you know that when you're choosing glass or tin you're usually choosing virgin material? It's way more eco-friendly to choose plastic, as long as it's recycled.
Instead of chucking whole plastic razor out when the blade becomes blunt, invest in a razor you can use over a lifetime and just refill the blade.
It's so easy to purchase a reusable water bottle or travel mug, in a variety of different materials to use wherever you go. It's also become trendy to pack your lunch in glass, stainless steel, cloth sandwich bags or even a wooden Bento box instead of using plastic Ziploc bags.
Next time you spend five bucks on a coffee or go to buy that bottle of water housed in plastic, splurge and get a travel mug and glass water bottle that you can take every time you go out.Reuse is the key word here fellas.
Making the switch to wood or bamboo for your toothbrushes and hairbrushes, are easy to recycle and reuse. Once you've retired the bristles (usually made from plastic, or plant-based materials) recycle them or compost the handle.
Non-stick surfaces such as Teflon produce toxic perfluorochemicals when heated. You can also replace your plastic utensils - they will last longer and save you more money to spend on pints. Replace your cookware with cast-iron, stainless steel, copper or wood cookware and utensils.
If you're not using recyclable shopping bags already then you probably should, if you've read this far. Shopping in bulk will also help you to save in packaging. Not only will you be reducing your waste, you'll be saving money on food and lessening your trips to the store.
Invest in a grooming brand who uses majority recycled plastic to house their formulas. This means you get the convenience of plastic (glass and the shower is not a good combo!), but without the environmental impact. Instead of that plastic heading to the waterways, it can live its life over and over to house your favourite shave cream. Brands like ours do all this and more *wink wink*.
Told you, rad.
Perhaps you're a surfer, or a swimmer? Heck, even if you're not an ocean lover, surely you're interested in freeing the planet of pollution? You know, for the greater good and all. With a little thought, we can all do our bit for the environment. Take the 'Seabin Project', for example
Congested skin… the buddy ol' pal that's overstayed his welcome. Bumps. Lumps. Rough patches. Dry flaky bits. Zits bigger than Mt. Everest. Yep… they can be a real pain in the cahoonas. So how can you officially give congested skin the fick for good?
Gents: I have a question for you… what exactly is stopping you from making the switch to an all-natural grooming routine? Think it's going to turn you into a Kombucha guzzling, bare footed hippy? Or perhaps you believe it won't actually work?

Mt. McLoughlin Summit
Here is a USGS aerial photo of Mt. McLaughlin. We summited from the east side, you can see the spine in these pictures and compare it for a sense of location. It seemed like it would be a decently easy summit in the summer, just a slog, but because we did it in this time period where there is a lot of melting and refreezing, there was a layer of verglas over everything at the top making it a little sketchball, but thats why we have ice tools. It is a super underrated cascade volcano.

lots of drugs & guns seized @ Bushwick/Ridgewood border
Bushwick (more by Ryan Muir)
The Daily News reports raids on two apartments near the Bushwick-Ridgewood border turned up a $10 million stash of cocaine – or 80 pounds (!!!) – and a small arsenal (of big firearms) on Tuesday.
The raid was called on after narcotics officers observed a drug deal in front of the Ridgewood apartment Monday afternoon. The search led cops to the white mountain, scales, and clues leading to a house in Bushwick, where officers found an AK-47 rifle, two Uzi submachine guns, five handguns, and ammo.
"It's very rare to have a seizure of this size in these kinds of neighborhoods," Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget Brennan told the Daily News. [BushwickBK.com]

Author Event | Katherine Reynolds Lewis Discusses Her Book "The Good News About Bad Behavior"
Wednesday November 7, 2018: 7:00pm to 8:30pm
Downtown Library: 1st Floor Lobby
A new and surprising problem has quietly been developing in the current generation of children: they are out of control. A recent study of first-graders found they could sit still for no more than three minutes, only a quarter of the time that their peers could in 1948. Government statistics show that half of all children will develop a mood or behavioral disorder or a substance addiction by age 18.
In the era of the helicopter parent, children seem to have lost the ability to regulate their behavior and emotions. Our time-honored methods of punishments and rewards haven't taught discipline-- they've undermined it.
Journalist Katherine Reynolds Lewis spent five years investigating this crisis: observing families at the dinner table, meeting educators who are transforming the school experience for kids with attention and mood disorders, studying psychological research, and looking introspectively at her own parenting habits.
Join us as she discusses her research and her new book The Good News About Bad Behavior: Why Kids Are Less Disciplined Than Ever - And What To Do About It.
Katherine Reynolds Lewis is an award-winning independent journalist, author and speaker based in the Washington D.C. area and a certified parent educator with the Parent Encouragement Program in Kensington, Md. She contributes to The Atlantic online, Fortune magazine, USA Today's magazine group, the Washington Post and Working Mother magazine. Her byline has also appeared in Bloomberg Businessweek, MSN Money, Money, the New York Times, Parade, Slate, and the Washington Post Magazine. Her story for Mother Jones magazine about school discipline went viral after it was published in July 2015, becoming the site's most-viewed piece.
In two decades as a journalist, Katherine's work has won recognition from the Society of American Business Editors and Writers, the Society of Professional Journalists and the Chicago Headline Club. She's appeared on CNN, NPR, Bloomberg television and radio, and HuffPost Live, as well as numerous radio programs nationally and internationally. She's a member of the American Society of Journalists and Authors, Asian American Journalists Association, Association of Writers and Writing Programs, Education Writers Association and Society of Professional Journalists.
This event includes a book signing and books will be available for purchase.

First James Cameron mentioned the possibility of a fourth Avatar sequel being in the works and that he would be committing to the Avatar franchise for the foreseeable future, now Sigourney Weaver hinted at the possibility that all three sequels will be shot and produced in tandem in a recent interview with Showbiz411 when she mentioned that she would be filming Avatar 2, 3, and 4 after shooting Politcal Animals performing in a new Christopher Duran play.
This bring about a very interesting turn of events on the heels of James Cameron's revelation a few weeks ago where he first mentioned the possibility of a fourth sequel. It should not go unnoticed that Sigourney Weaver will be likely reprising her role as Dr. Grace Augustine in Avatar 2, 3, and 4. While the details of the extent of her role in the upcoming sequels is still unknown at this time it is still very heartening for fans to see that she will be making a return to the franchise.
While there has been no official confirmation from James Cameron, it certainly is something to peak the imagination.
Fans can only anxiously wait and see what James Cameron has in store.

Rent control has been a proven disaster everywhere it has been tried. It was supposed a temporary WW2 measure in NYC. South Bronx was one of the results. Every economist including Keynesians like Paul Kruger has always opposed rent controls. Senator Alan Cranston gave a speech in the Senate a generation ago exposing its follies.Rent control creates housing shortages and two classes of tenants. One paying exorbitant rents because of the tight supply, the other being subsidized by the rest of us.If you want more housing abolish all planning, zoning and environmental controls as well as government building codes. Even Marty Schiffenbauer, author of the Berkeley rent law, noted that controls on the supply side cause shortages which to pressure for controls on the demand side.

yes many and I find her a bit boring
Jensine, I believe you're right about her. I read the June Elle mag article interview of Kristen. She comes off with numerous f-words, even calling Rob her "fucking boyfriend" as in "my fucking boyfriend would love this" (excuse my bluntness). I find it unnecessary to be this way, especially in interviews. To me she's always been awkward and strange, and not so talented. She also appears to be very unappreciative of all the hype she gets (and money, no doubt) by saying that everything has just come so easy for her. Perhaps she should relish in this time in her life. But with the fresh "easy" choices she's making now, I think her years of popularity are numbered. Rob, however, will have a long, long career I think, with awards ahead of him. Heard he moved out yesterday! Good for him!

Nice…have you guys listened to his music at all??? He has a heavenly voice. So talented.
He does have a great voice. And a classical pianist. Incredible.
yes good for him … yeah I don't get the hype around her, she is a bit pale and seems really off. Glad we agree 🙂

The School for Good and Evil is written by Soman Chainani. It was published in 2013 by HarperCollins.
This year best friends Sophie and Agatha will discover what it is to be a student at the fabled School for Good and Evil, where ordinary boys and girls are trained to be fairytale heroes and villains. With her pink dresses, glass slippers, and devotion to good deeds, Sophie knows she'll earn top marks at the School for Good and graduate a storybook princess. Meanwhile, Agatha, with her shapeless black frocks, wicked pet cat, and dislike of nearly everyone, seems a natural fit for the School for Evil. But when the two girls are swept into the Endless Woods, they find their fortunes reversed—Sophie's dumped in the School for Evil to take Uglification, Death Curses, and Henchmen Training, while Agatha finds herself in the School for Good, among handsome princes and fair maidens in Princess Etiquette and Animal Communication, But what if the mistake is actually the first clue to discovering who Sophie and Agatha really are…?
The School for Good and Evil has an interesting concept, taking the "emphasis of one trait over another" that's prevalent in other books such as Harry Potter and Divergent and attempting to both play it straight and subvert it. So the Good school emphasizes honor while Evil emphasizes deceit, yet students in the Good school are often less good than the students in the Evil school, which plays a major role in the climax of the novel.
Yet despite the fluidity between the two, Chainini manages to keep both Good and Evil separate, in that he still manages to show the absolute aspect of Good and Evil while showing how people's actions affect where they stand in respect to both. And he shows the ultimate triumph of Good over Evil at the end, although it's done in a really strange way.
That strange way is that he has Good triumph over Evil, yet somehow manages to disguise it as some sort of merge of the two or as some sort of "conquering" of the differences between the schools. It's like he was trying to say that Sophie either wasn't Evil after all, or that what other people viewed as Evil wasn't really Evil at all. But what I saw was an act of love overcoming an evil nature; in other words, Sophie overcame her Evil nature and performed an act of Good that was large enough to defeat the curse or spell or whatever it was that had brought her and Agatha there in the first place. So, his imagery conflicted with his apparent message, which isn't surprising considering the relative/objective feel of the book.
Speaking of Sophie and Agatha, I really didn't understand their friendship. At the beginning, it felt like they weren't all that close (certainly not best friends), and then once they got to the school, suddenly they were the best of friends. To be honest, Sophie was a despicable friend, being manipulative and even slightly verbally abusive, so the whole friendship aspect I really didn't get, and I didn't buy that Agatha or Sophie would do all those things for the other when at the beginning of the book it felt like they merely tolerated each other because they hated everybody else their own age. It also didn't help that I disliked Sophie in general as she lacked any and all sense.
Besides the strange ending and the relativism/objectivism back-and-forth, there were a few plot points that I thought could have been executed much more neatly, and the book as a whole was a little all over the place. I did like it, but it was odd in places and confusing in others.

"You there! No smirking!"
With her teacher looming, Agatha tried to concentrate and duplicate Beatrix's perfect smile. For a second she thought she had it.
"Goodness! Now it's a creepy grin! A smile, child! Just your normal, everyday smile!"
Happy. Think of something happy.
But all she could think of was Sophie on the Bridge, leaving her for a boy she didn't even know.
"Now it's positively malevolent!" Professor Anemone shrieked.
Agatha turned and saw the whole class cowering, as if expecting her to turn them all into bats. ("Do you think she eats children?" said Beatrix. "I'm so glad I moved out," Reena sighed.)
Agatha frowned. It couldn't have been that bad.

If you are in the market for some conveyancingquotes then you are probably trying to buy or sell a home. This happens to all of us at some point, and really when it comes to this sort of thing we should just go with the cheapest company that we can find. I know that you might have a specific company in mind when it comes to this, but if they aren't offering you the cheapest rate then don't do it. The only time I would not go with the cheapest is if I personally knew someone from the company that I was picking over the cheapest. Trust is one of the best things that a company can give you, so if you trust someone at a company then you are more likely to go to them, and that's ok because when you trust someone they probably won't rip you off.
But once you find the one that gives you the cheapest quote, you just have to go ahead and get it down. You tell them the address of the property and they go out to it and do their job, it's really that simple and doesn't require any extra action from you. They give you their quote and then they leave, it's that easy. I love using these sorts of services because they give me a good idea about what my property is worth, and I can use it as a leaping off point for when I'm negotiating either trying to buy a home or sell a home. Their services work great for both sides of that equation and you would be a fool not to get all of the information that you could about a house before you buy it or get rid of it. Who knows, maybe it's worth more or less than you originally thought.


text: Digital Your Facebook Fanbase is Shrinking — Why This is A Good Thing Will your page's engagement rate decline? If you measure engagement (among many ways) as interactions/fans, then yes. If it's interactions/reach, then no.By Dennis Yu|March 10, 2015 Share By Dennis Yu|March 10, 2015 Share Social media purging is common on Twitter, where fake fans abound. Brands are panicking over fan bases declining, as deactivated and memorialized accounts are removed from Page like counts. On March 12, Facebook does this in more earnest. Though chasing fan counts is silly, the plus side of showing a truer (lower) fan count is that your percentage reach and engagement rates suddenly look higher. Will your page's engagement rate decline? If you measure engagement (among many ways) as interactions/fans, then yes. If it's interactions/reach, then no. This is the model I suggest that breaks down what factors drive your engagement You can tracing fan base all the way through to stories told. Intermediate factors are reach, engagement rate, ads factor, applause ratio, and stories per user. From your active fan base, you consider how many you can reach, then get to engage. In the same way that interactions are more important than reach, total reach is more important than your fan base. So if you're worried about this drop — perhaps a boss or client is freaking out — you're looking at the wrong metrics. Big follower numbers are the easiest success metrics for "the boss" to understand in social marketing. But it's time for us to teach the boss that smaller, passionate communities create more value for the business. -Jason Keath, SocialFresh Here is what Facebook has to say about this change: We're removing voluntarily deactivated and memorialized accounts from Pages' like counts to ensure that Page audience metrics are meaningful and consistent. As a result, you may notice a dip in your aggregate Page likes in early-March. This change does not affect organic or paid distribution of your content. FAQ's (from Facebook) Q: Why were Page likes from inactive accounts included in the first place? When people liked Pages originally, their accounts were active. Facebook is making this update to drive real business results and ensure our metrics are consistent. Q: Will organic reach increase once likes from deactivated accounts are removed? Thanks to this update, Page likes reflect all fans whose Facebook accounts are active. This does not affect organic reach on an absolute basis, nor does it affect the long term decline in organic reach of Page posts. Q: Why does my Page have more likes removed than others? The number of inactive account likes that are removed varies by Page. On average, the older a like, the more likely it is to be associated with an inactive account. Q: If a fan whose account was deactivated subsequently reactivates their account, will their like be re-added to the Page's like tally? Yes, if a person reactivates their account on Facebook, their Page likes will once again be counted. Q: My Page unlikes recently increased. Is that related to this update? Should I expect that to continue? We began testing this update in late February and you may have seen an increase in Page unlikes as a result. However, the primary change will rollout ~March 12/13. Q: How will this change be reflected in Page Insights? The number of deactivated likes will show up in Page Insights as an increase in Page unlikes and a corresponding decrease in overall Page likes. There will not be a break-out of unlikes associated with inactive accounts. Expect to see the primary change ~March 12/13 Readers: What do you think of this decision?

Che cosa aspettarsi
It was great experience . We had a lots of Israeli delicious food A lot of wine . The knowledge and the explanations of the guide, Roni, were very interesting and educating .
Let's start with the hostess/guide. Wow! Noy is energetic, fun, informative and knowledgeable. We were all Israeli, I think mostly Tel Avivians which tells you something about the need for locals to discover new areas and restaurants. Cool walk through the neighborhood and with a great vibe. All the food was good to very good. A little heavy on the carbohydrate side, but you do go home with a very full filling having been well sated. Highly recommended.

An occasion to celebrate
Some supplier events are more fun than others but it takes something special to make me cancel an early afternoon flight from Germany and instead take one requiring me to get up at 05.00 (04.00 UK time) just to make sure that I don't miss it.
The fact that I also missed an England World Cup game travelling down for it, was to be honest, less of a hardship than I had hoped only a little over a week earlier.
I've always been a bit of a sucker for the gold edged invitation with the same portcullis emblem you used to get on the back of an old thrupenny bit that indicates a call to the House of Commons. There's something about walking past the spot where Charles 1st faced his Parliament and more recently Margaret Thatcher lay in state, as well as all the rest of the associated history that just makes it a very special place to be.
On Tuesday night in the Churchill Room, amid paintings by the great man himself, Iain Stewart, the Conservative MP for Milton Keynes South, hosted a gathering at which Dawsonrentals Bus & Coach celebrated 20 years of providing services to the bus and coach industry. After Iain had praised the company's contribution to his constituency, he handed the floor to MD, Paul Sainthouse, who recalled the early days of the company when the promise that one day they'd be buying hundreds of buses at a time had failed to cut any ice on reducing the price. Today the business has owned or provided 5,000 bus and coaches and aims to go on from there to the 10,000 mark.
Impressively, apart from a very small number of rental contracts inherited with the LHE Finance business, all of Dawsonrentals Bus & Coach's growth has been organic. From the outset two decades ago with that first batch of 15 Caetano Algarve bodied Dennis Javelins and a small number of step entrance Dennis Darts acquired before the low floor revolution came in, the company has served the needs of a huge variety of users from all sectors. Bus and coach operators of all sizes, local authorities, car park operators, minibus companies, airports and many more are among the customers with representatives from all of these groups present to join the celebration along with staff from all levels of the company.
It was a convivial evening of informal chatter with interesting people and, as I said goodnight to the policeman on the gate who bade me 'goodnight sir', it occurred to me that, even if we didn't win the World Cup, as a nation we have a lot to celebrate and an enduring sense of occasion.

Dear letters,
I plead your forgiveness.
I had become a robot
of duties and endeavors: an academic philistine who had forgotten about your beauty.
Allow me not to feel estranged by you,
but embraced by your power of conception.
Mind you,
you were never forgotten,
you were just sometimes overlooked.
Despair knocked on my door last week,
cried for me to visit you,
but trust me,
I had you in mind before.
It can be a challenge to take the journey,
especially when I always do it accompanied by pain and melancholy.
However, despair, pain, and melancholy will do no more convincing;
I will visit you on my own.
Without them the ideas will have a rougher path to your home,
but it will just take time for them to learn the maze.
I promise to value you more often than I've bared,
to not take you for granted, and to visit you more constantly.
You are my most loyal friend and my longest companion.
I apologize dear fellow,
for I know you long cried for my appearance.
But here I am!
I have passed through loss, love, and bliss.
What better way to approach you having overcome so much?
Our relationship will be less dependent.
I am stronger and braver.
Trust me, I am.
I will come to you corrupted,
a corruption that spits my thoughts into your reality.
Oh, how had I forgotten about your splendor:
your reduction of realities in the most meaningful attempts.
But I have now remembered you,
and here I am pleading your forgiveness.
And by apologizing for my obliviousness
I tell you… I have everlastingly arrived.
In appreciation,
A recently averted absent-minded.

Projection-Based Virtual Environments and Disability
Authors: Browning, D., Cruz-Neira, C., Sandin, D., DeFanti, T.
Publication: Proceedings of the First Annual International Conference, Virtual Reality and People with Disabilities
URL: http://www.evl.uic.edu/drew/proj_vr.htm
The Electronic Visualization Laboratory at the University of Illinois at Chicago has developed a new virtual reality interface called the CAVE™ (CAVE Automatic Virtual Environment).
It surrounds the viewer with projected images of a virtual environment. Three rear-projection screens make up three walls of a ten-foot cube that all but disappear when illuminated with computer graphics. A fourth data projector illuminates the floor for complete immersion. The viewer can move around the virtual environment and see his own body as he interacts with real and virtual objects.
This paper describes the use of a projection-based virtual reality (VR) interface (the CAVE™) for persons with disability. It compares the projection paradigm with the more common VR technologies of head or boom-mounted displays and their associated position sensing techniques. In particular, advantages and disadvantages of the CAVE™ are discussed in terms of disability issues.
These include shared or guided experiences, physical access to the technology, intrusiveness on the user and inclusion of real world objects in the environment.
Finally, appropriate disability related applications for projection based virtual environments are considered in light of the inherent properties.
