"The most important things are the hardest to say, because words diminish them." — Stephen King
This becomes even more pertinent in the case of nonprofits – organizations that work extremely hard to solve complex social problems with limited resources. Nonprofits sometimes struggle to bring their message to the masses and showcase their impact. After all, balancing the rational with emotional can be a daunting task for anyone!
Read on for my takeaways on best practices for nonprofit communications.
Mission first
Nonprofits are guided by their mission and not economic models or marketing. Effective communication is one of the most powerful ways of advancing a nonprofit's mission. It makes people believe in a nonprofit's cause and connect with its audience. Communication should be mission-aligned to foster stakeholder engagement and create greater impact. Moreover, a mission statement can help identify each facet of a communications plan – whether it's the target audience, key message, focus areas or the end goal. When in doubt, always go back to the mission statement!
Know your audience
People are at the heart of social impact. It's always a good idea to reach out to them and do a reality check. Do we understand their problems well? Are they benefitting from what we are doing? Have their needs or demands changed over time? What are their preferred modes of communication? These are some of the questions that need to be answered to make a nonprofit's work more meaningful and relevant.
In the for-profit world, understanding a 'buyer's persona' and 'personalization' are the buzzwords. However, this is not easily measurable in terms of sales or growth for nonprofits, hence the need to go the extra mile to understand the social and cultural background of stakeholders becomes important. With the proliferation of social media, this task has become relatively easier than before.
Think in stories
Once we know what our target audience needs and wants, the focus should be on creating compelling, contextual and relevant content rather than something that's 'in the moment.' The intent is to inspire more and more people into the social impact movement. Spend some time on collecting stories around 1. why, what, how of solving problems, 2. what's worked and what's not, 3. replicable approaches of doing things, 4. best practices. In a nutshell, generate content that's both pragmatic and emotional. Impact shared in the form of outcomes for beneficiaries is one of the ways of making the mission tangible and relatable.
Put people in the driver's seat
When you place people at the heart of storytelling, it helps build an instant emotional connect. Visual storytelling is one of the most powerful tools in today's times. Nothing puts a smile on someone's face more than seeing and hearing someone they consider their own. 'I am the first one in my family to attend college and graduate' is more compelling that 'We helped XYZ through college.' Share stories that bring to life the impact an organization is having on real people's lives, not just data about the scale of change it is driving.
Collaborate to accelerate impact
Social problems can take years to solve, and we need to ask ourselves – how can we do things better, faster to create greater social impact? Build communication strategies that capitalize on partner relationships and voices. In the case of nonprofits, the more the merrier! Collaborate with partners and other stakeholders to share each other's content on social media platforms, networking events, industry seminars, etc. This is an effective way to quickly build advocates for a cause and amplify impact.
Different strokes for different folks
Social media influences people like nothing else. Creating one single message and posting it across all social channels is easy, but not always effective. Tweaking the same message to appeal to the interests of each social channel's users helps. Going back to my example of a first-generation student making it through college, I could use stories on Instagram, video on Facebook, GIF on Twitter and text + video/infographic on LinkedIn to appeal to various audiences on these platforms. Also, including a strong call to action (CTA) drives engagement. If people feel invested enough, they would want to get involved in your cause, and that's why having CTAs can be advantageous.
Failing to plan is planning to fail
Often, we are so caught up in the day to day communication, that we tend to forget that there's always a crisis lurking around the corner. Nonprofits are formed to serve public interest and therefore, are subject to intense scrutiny always. One wrong move, and the trust is gone. Nonprofits play a huge role when natural disasters and other calamities occur. With so many uncontrollable and unknown factors at play, it's no longer a question of 'if' but 'when' the crisis will occur. Crisis preparedness might just save the day.
In a nutshell, the right stories inspire action and bring nonprofit organizations one step closer to fulfilling their mission! I would love to gather your thoughts on your experiences as a nonprofit communicator. Do share by commenting on this post.

Professor at Columbia University
Doctorate from Harvard Law School
Author of "The Brussels Effect" and other leading research on the EU, trade and competition
"Anu is an intellectually stimulating and fun speaker – a rare but highly engaging combination. She knows Europe, the Nordics and the world. And what's best, she always brings a fresh perspective to her theme. No wonder business leaders love to listen to her." – Risto E.J. Penttilä
C.E.O., Nordic West Office; Secretary General of the European Business Leaders' Convention
C.E.O., Finland Chamber of Commerce (2010-2017)
Anu Bradford is a Professor at Columbia Law School. She is an expert in European Union law and politics, international trade, competition policy and economic migration.
Bradford is a European and American scholar who brings a Transatlantic perspective to policy debates. Before joining Columbia University in 2012, Bradford was a professor at the University of Chicago. She was educated at Harvard Law School and the University of Helsinki. Prior to her academic career, Bradford practiced EU competition law at Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton in Brussels and provided policy advice in the Parliament of Finland and in European Parliament. In 2010, the World Economic Forum named Bradford a Young Global Leader.
Bradford is currently working on a book entitled "The Brussels Effect: How the EU Shapes the World through Rules and Regulations," which will be published by Oxford University Press in 2019. The book documents the extensive influence the EU has on regulating global markets, determining which products are built and how business is conducted, in Europe and beyond. In this way, the EU wields significant, unique, and highly penetrating power to unilaterally transform global markets, be it through its ability to set the standards in competition, environmental protection, food safety, chemical safety, the protection of privacy or hate speech online. The book thereby challenges the prevalent view that the European Union is a declining power. It also contests the idea that the Brexit will deliver the UK regulatory autonomy, or that globalization is inevitably in retreat.
Bradford's work on the "Brussels Effect" has received extensive media coverage. These include Financial Times featuring the Brussels Effect in the context of analyzing the Brexit, and Wall Street Journal in discussing the adoption of EU data protection law by US companies. In addition, Bradford's research and public commentary has been featured in numerous other news outlets, such as BBC World, Bloomberg Businessweek, Business Insider, CNBC, Fox Business, New York Times, Politico, Time Magazine, and the Washington Post.
Bradford grew up in Finland. She lives in New York with her husband and three children but is based in Madrid in January-July 2019.

When I saw the words "has Bill Bryson's comic touch" on the front of a dust jacket, I immediately thought that The Disappearing Spoon by Sam Kean [Doubleday £20 9780857520265] might be a good read. I wasn't far wrong. A former New York Times bestseller, this book delves into the history behind the discovery of the elements in the periodic table and the part played by many of these elements in our history.
Perhaps mention of the periodic table of elements might put some readers off. True, this book is quite scientific and I didn't do very well in my chemistry and physics exams (and that's a long time ago), but my interest in scientific matters has survived and I enjoyed the book. Having said that I did find certain sections a little tough going, what with protons, neutrons, atoms and such like, but this little difficulty was outweighed by the tales of discovery and the people behind the discoveries and the "spin off " stories along the way.
For example I didn't know that Euro bank notes are the most difficult to counterfeit in the world. This is because the ink used to print the notes contains the element europium which only shows up under a special laser. Then there was the case of the young man David Hahn from Detroit, who attempted to build a nuclear reactor in the garden potting shed. … and did you know that titanium is used for implanted teeth, screw on fingers and replacement hip sockets? This is because it does not trigger an immune response from the body's blood cells. The human body can't detect a difference between titanium and actual bone.
These and many more facts and anecdotes connected with the elements of the periodic table make it a good read, but there is a down side. There are plenty of Americanisms, a few of which I wasn't sure of their meaning. And on the subject of Bill Bryson's "comic touch", I would tend to disagree. The humour is there, but in some ways it's less subtle and less refined. So Mr Kean is not another Bill Bryson, but he does a pretty good job nevertheless.

I'm not a vegetarian, though I don't eat a lot of meat, but this isn't necessarily a programme for vegetarians. Nor is the book: it's intended to persuade the reader to eat a little less meat and fish and more vegetables.

Two days ago, freshman Congressman Bruce Poliquin caused a national whiplash in his direction when he was one of only three House Republicans who didn't vote in favor of a bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act (that's Obamacare, for anyone who hasn't been paying attention).
According to Maine-based health care policy consultant and ACA supporter Mitchell Stein, the three GOP House members who voted against Tuesday's repeal attempt, including Poliquin, were the first three Republicans to EVER break from their party on this issue.
"He knows his district is mixed on this issue so he wants to be seen as reasonable," said Stein. "As far as that goes, I applaud that."
Poliquin spent much of his campaign for the 2nd Congressional District seat last year, as well as his 2012 primary campaign for the U.S. Senate, criticizing the ACA ad calling for its repeal. But as Mario Moretto reported here at State & Capitol on Tuesday, Poliquin has recently been careful to say that he would vote to repeal the ACA only if there were a viable alternative ready to go. Well, now that time has apparently come. Or has it?
"Finally, a Real Plan to Replace and Fix Obamacare," read the headline on a Thursday morning press release from Poliquin, referring to the framework of an alternative released Wednesday by Republican leaders. However forceful that headline, Poliquin remains noncommittal.
"There will likely be several other plans put on the table over the coming weeks," said Poliquin. "I look forward to evaluating all of them. I will support the one that best helps our hard-working 2nd District families and small businesses secure the health insurance that best fits their needs at a cost they can afford. The final plan also must address a way forward for the 63,000 Maine families who have purchased, with their own money, Obamacare policies through the federal insurance exchange."
The plan released Wednesday, which was largely recycled from a concept discussed by Republicans last year, would end individual and business mandates in the ACA –which are what makes it possible to keep premiums down because they force healthy people to pay for insurance to offset the costs of sicker enrollees — and would require low-wage earners on Medicaid to buy private plans. The plan would maintain tax credits for the poor but cut back on subsidies now available to the middle class.
Those provisions and others will make the Republican alternative a non-starter for Democrats, including President Barack Obama and his veto pen.
Looming in the wings of the health care debate is a pending U.S. Supreme Court case that could put an end to subsidies for people who bought their insurance on the federal exchange. The prevailing theory is that the court wouldn't make a ruling that would end health coverage for millions of Americans without having a viable Plan B ready to go. That, along with the fact that a new session of Congress has just begun, is why we're suddenly seeing renewed attention to the ACA.
Poliquin's vote on Tuesday and his press release Thursday let him stand to some degree with one foot on each side of the debate while earning attention in the press and in the public. But according to Stein, Poliquin is veiling his true intentions to eventually support whatever Republican alternative gains the most steam en route to another vote to repeal the ACA.
"I'm not truly convinced that he has had any change in heart and is really serious about helping more people have health care," said Stein.
For his part, Poliquin indicated in his press release he looks at health coverage primarily through a lens of how it will affect small businesses job creation.
"A free-market alternative to our health care problem that, finally, ends the expensive ObamaCare individual and employer mandates, will help our small businesses grow and hire more workers," said Poliquin. "A healthy, growing economy will provide our families with fatter paychecks and more freedom."

Gary Bowyer was disappointed after Rovers suffered a 3-0 loss at the hands of Cardiff City on Bank Holiday Monday.
A first half header from Fraizer Campbell was added to by strikes from substitutes Joe Mason and Peter Whittingham to give the home side a comfortable afternoon.
It was Bowyer's first defeat as Rovers boss and it was a feeling he doesn't want to repeat.
"It doesn't feel very nice, I don't like the feeling," said Bowyer of the loss. "The players didn't like the feeling in the dressing room afterwards.
"The standard of our first half play was not at the level that they can perform.
"We came under a lot of pressure from Cardiff, they are top of the league for a reason and I thought they played particularly well.
"Even then we still stuck at it and I thought their opening goal was a foul on our goalkeeper.
"The second half we had more of a go than what we did in the first, and with a couple of minutes to go we are still in it but the second goal was a sucker punch.
"To be fair the preparations took a little bit of a hit with a few of them being ill, but hopefully we can get over them in the next couple of days and be ready for Sheffield Wednesday."

Honestly, I didn't think it would work.
When I realized that I needed to quit my sales job, I looked around and couldn't find any jobs that seemed to fit me. It felt like the only valid option, after prayer and some long discussions with my wife, was to make our freelance media business a full-time gig.
But to be honest, I couldn't see how it could work. There weren't enough clients or enough projects in my mind to see this thing working as a full-time job. We had been doing this "thing" on the side for a supplemental income for as long as we have been married.
In December 2017, we launched Marken Media Co. (a name that my wife created by smashing our names together). Every month we have seen God provide just the right amount of clients and projects. Every month we see His provision unfold. We are so grateful to be working together as a family and being able to spend more time together. It is amazing to see our 3-year-old son Jaxson hand out business cards to potential clients and see him get excited as we explore new business opportunities.
So sometimes yes, it feels like you are about to jump off a cliff in faith. But for us, the reward is worth the risk even though we do not have it all figured out. He works all things together for the good of those that love Him and are called according to His purpose!
Good things are ahead!
Kennan is wife to Marcus, the other half of Marken Media Co., and mom to Jaxson, Caden, and furry Reba.

While going through a yearbok of my grandmothers I found she had glued several items in this yearbook which spanned the years of 1919 - 1923. One of the things which was in the yearbook is an empty envelope which had contained a letter from a cousin of hers. My grandmother noted in the margin that this cousin of hers was one of her dearest cousins and was married to Mr. Arvard Hudson of Coalgate OK. I've tried to find out who Mr. Hudson was married to with no success. Can anyone help me? Thank you.

In this episode, some of the things you'll learn include how to think about risk as something that could happen, but that didn't happen, and how to move through fear successfully by first identifying what it is you're afraid of. You'll also learn how to listen to your intuition, and why positively adapting to change means not seeing things as "good" or "bad." The stories and exercises give you the option to write things down about your life, because when you write things down, they become real.

Icelandic National Day is an annual holiday in Iceland which commemorates the foundation of The Republic of Iceland on 17 June 1944 and its independence from Danish rule. And this is how it's being celebrated!
Many Icelanders will today wear their national costume and celebrate their independence on a national scale, with a parade lead by a brass band. Riders on Icelandic horses often precede the brass band and flag bearers from the Icelandic scout movement traditionally follow the brass band.
After the parade several speeches are held out in the open. One of the speeches is held by a woman, as Fjallkonan (the woman of the mountain). Dressed in a gown and wearing a distinctive crown with veil, she represents the fierce spirit of the Icelandic nation and of Icelandic nature which she shares through a poem.
After the parade and the speeches there os open theatres, music and family entertainment.
Apparently it traditionally rains on this day, in particular in the Southwest of Iceland. When checking the weather forecast, this predication seems to be yet again, true.
Nevertheless, happy National Day Iceland!

The UK National Lottery operator Camelot has revealed that a "very small" number of its customer accounts have been accessed illegally, which may have allowed hackers to obtain users' personal information.
Camelot said Wednesday that its online security monitoring had identified around 26,500 accounts which were accessed by the hackers, a small percentage of its 9.5m registered online players.
Less than 50 accounts have been used since the hack, although Camelot says this could be a case of the original account holders changing their details. Nevertheless it has suspended these accounts and is in the process of contacting players to help them securely reactivate their service.
In addition the operator has initiated a compulsory password reset for the 26,500 affected players.
"We are in the process of proactively contacting them to help them change their passwords, as well as giving them some more general online security advice," said the national lottery operator.
Camelot stressed that there has been no unauthorised access of its core systems or databases which would affect National Lottery draws or the payment of prizes. In addition, no money has been deposited or withdrawn from the affected accounts, as they do not hold debit card or bank information.
Camelot believes that email addresses and passwords may have been stolen from another website for which players use the same details, allowing the hackers to access personal information.
"Cyber criminals such as this are persistent, and we are continuing to monitor and protect our systems," the operator said. "We are also working closely with the National Crime Agency and the National Cyber Security Centre on an ongoing basis on this criminal matter.
"We'd like to reassure our customers that protecting their personal data is of the utmost importance to us," Camelot added. "We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause to our players and would like to encourage those with any concerns to contact us directly, so we can discuss it with them in more detail."

The Fifteen Days of Miracles—from the first day of the Tibetan new year (Losar, February 16) until the fifteenth (March 1)—commemorate the special time when Guru Shakyamuni Buddha showed miraculous powers in order to subdue the Six Founders, who lacked faith in him, and to inspire more faith in his followers. It culminates on the full moon, the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, which is called Chotrul Duchen.
Losar is traditionally celebrated for three days, during which Tibetans spend time with friends and family, eat, play games, and relax. A number of rituals and customs have developed around it, such as the eating of a special soup called "guthug" on the 29th day of the last Tibetan month of the year, two days before Losar. In the monasteries, there is a Losar tradition to do the extensive Palden Lhamo puja before dawn.
The Fifteen Days of Miracles are also a time for pilgrimage and intensive Dharma practice. During this period, many Tibetan monasteries, including Kopan Monastery in Nepal, hold a Great Prayer Festival—Monlam Chenmo—for several days or even weeks during which the Sangha recite prayers from morning until evening.
This year, Losar falls on February 16. The Fifteen Days of Miracles continue through Chotrul Duchen on March 1.
All fifteen days are merit-multiplying days, when the merit of virtuous actions performed on these days is multiplied by 100 million, as cited by Lama Zopa Rinpoche from the vinaya text Treasure of Quotations and Logic.
Advice Specifically for Losar
For the FPMT, Losar is a special time as it commemorates the anniversary of FPMT founder Lama Yeshe's parinirvana at dawn of Losar in 1984. Lama Zopa Rinpoche asks students to offer extensive Lama Chöpa with tsog in honor of this anniversary. Lama Zopa Rinpoche says that one generates incredible merit by offering tsog on that occasion every year. This Losar marks thirty-four years since the passing of Lama.
Rinpoche also recommends that students attend centers hosting annual events to introduce new students to Lama Yeshe. These events might include older students who knew Lama Yeshe sharing their favorite stories, watching videos of Lama teaching, or reading stories about Lama.
Advice for the Fifteen Days of Miracles
You can find Rinpoche's advice for the Fifteen Days of Miracles collected here. Advice for merit-multiplying days in general can be found here.
If you decide to recite the Sutra of Golden Light on these special days, we invite you to report your recitations on the Sutra of Golden Light reporting page.
Losar Tashi Delek! Happy Tibetan New Year!
Please keep in mind: According to the late Ven. Choden Rinpoche, one of Lama Zopa Rinpoche's teachers, observation of auspicious days should be according to the date in India, not the date in one's home country. Therefore, when Lama Zopa Rinpoche is not in India, Rinpoche celebrates merit-multiplying days and other auspicious dates according to the time in India.
Special thanks to the Liberation Prison Project for preparing this year's Tibetan calendar. A limited view of the calendar is always available on "Dharma Practice Dates" as a courtesy to FPMT students around the world.
Through comprehensive study programs, practice materials, training seminars, and scholarships, FPMT Education nourishes the development of compassion, wisdom, kindness, and true happiness in individuals of all ages.

Zabriskie Point
We started the trip at Zabriskie Point, watching as the sunrise slowly revealed the canyons with their magnificent colors and textures.
Furnace Creek Wash
Walking to the edge of Zabriskie Point, you can see Furnace Creek wash at the bottom.
Making sure that we were carrying extra water with us at all times, we decided to brave the heat and hike down into into the wash. Although at first glance it may appear lifeless, if you look carefully, you might be surprised at what you can find.
Less than a day after the rain, the water was quickly disappearing, leaving gracefully curling mud as a reminder of the previous storm.
After hiking out of the wash, we came across three coyotes. It was as incredible how well they blended in with their surroundings.
Twenty Mule Team Canyon
It would have been fun to explore Twenty Mule Team canyon. Unfortunately, because of recent flooding, the road was closed and hiking was not permitted through the soft earth.
Mosaic Canyon
Bypassing Stovepipe Wells, we turned into Mosaic Canyon and started hiking the trail. The colors and textures of the rocks were striking.
With all of the incredible views, it's sometimes difficult to remember to look where you walk. A baby rattlesnake sighting was a gentle reminder.
Rhyolite Ghost Town
In the afternoon, we headed east to visit Rhyolite Ghost Town where, weather permitting, we hoped to photograph the night sky.
Rhyolite, named for the silica-rich volcanic rock in the area, was a booming mining town in the late 1800's and early 1900's.
As the sun went down, and the stars appeared, it was thought-provoking to imagine what it must have been like to have lived there a century ago.
Salt Creek
Early the next morning we drove to Salt Creek. I was hoping to spot the Salt Creek Pupfish, but they were too well hidden for me to spot.
The Racetrack
To our dismay, we arrived at the racetrack only to discover that someone had taken their SUV out onto the wet earth, leaving tire impressions which may remain for years.
Not wanting to walk out onto the wet racetrack, we kept to the lower portion (which was dry), and were still able to find a few of the magical "moving" rocks.
Badwater Basin
The next morning the park rangers opened the (previously flooded) road to Badwater Basin. The basin covers more than 200 square miles, is 282 feet below sea level, and is one of the largest protected salt flats in the world.
There was still quite a bit of water near the parking lot.
Walking out onto the flats, the water had already disappeared, leaving a cornucopia of small crystals behind.
Devils Golf Course
Driving north to Devils Golf course, we were able to explore the massive salt pan.
Natural Bridge
Driving back towards Furnace Creek we made a stop at Natural Bridge. Not only were the colors in the canyons splendid, the arch and dry waterfall carved into the rock were impressive.
Golden Canyon
Stovepipe Wells
In Stovepipe Wells, we discovered beautiful patterns in the mud.
Mesquite Flats Sand Dunes
With flashlights in hand, we hiked in the dark to the middle of the sand dunes in hopes of capturing the first light at sunrise. Distances between the dunes can certainly be deceiving (as can the height and effort it takes to hike through the sand), but it was well worth the effort.
Ubehebe Crater
Dantes View
For a magnificent vista of the valley, we drove to Dante's View. From the top, I was able to get a better perspective on the size of the salt flats in Badwater Basin and the Devils Golf Course.
Watching the sunset from Dantes View was a peaceful way to unwind at the end of the day.
The next morning we left the park through Panamint Valley. We were surprised to see a family of coyotes crossing the road. Unfortunately, tourists often stop to feed the animals which encourages them to roam along the road — which can be dangerous not only for the animals, but also the vehicles and their passengers.

TOI's refreshed What's HOT page serves up all the latest happenings in the city with its crisp snippets and quirky layout
Mumbai: In its rejigged version, the What's HOT section that appears in TOI's metro supplements is sporting a much cooler, crisper and colorful new look.
Resonating with the sights, sounds and vibes of metropolitan India, What's HOT is structured to be the daily curator for all that's a 'must-see' and 'must do' in the respective Metro city. A complete guide for eateries, concerts, nightlife, performing arts, literature, stand-up acts, shopping and more, What's HOT helps today's discerning youth plan their entire week's entertainment better.
The layout is young and fun, and peppered with mnemonics for Wine & Dine, Music, and Theater among others in sync with the cultural representation of the city. The logo integrates the city landscape depicting key landmarks of the city. For instance, Gateway of India is integrated in Mumbai logo, and QutubMinar and India Gate finds its way in Delhi adaptation of the logo. The new changes in the page will ensure that these listings appear unique, while also helping the reader to skim through and find their favorite event in no time.
Commenting on the revamped design, Sanjeev Bhargava, Director, Brand TOI, "The refurbished look of What's HOT should appeal to our readers because of a more reader friendly look and feel and a stronger local connect. Keeping in mind the hyper local sensibility of our metro supplement as a brand, we believe that introduction of the city-specific logo is a perfect fit for our readers. Making the city pages specific, innovative, and brief, will aim to offer our readers, information of all the latest happenings in a fun yet informative manner"
The layout, by the design team allows the page to hold more stories than it did previously. In addition to this, the page will also be available throughout the week in its new avatar. Staying true to its tagline- "If it's happening, It's Here", the What's HOT page gives an overview of the city's events and occurrences.
Today, the youth has diverse interests, hopping from one experience to another and trying to pack in more fun in the same time. This is where an all-encompassing product like What's HOT works brilliantly, gelling the psyche of the new age-culture and food buff. Crisp snippets, quirky boxes, and a brighter layout make the new version a must-grab-it.

Doug Bailey, who helped define the expanding role of political consultants in the 1960s and '70s and later founded The Hotline, a digest of political news, distributed by fax, that became an indispensable tool of the political trade in the pre-Web 1980s and '90s, died on Monday at his home in Arlington, Va. He was 79.
Mr. Bailey, who had health problems in recent years, was working at home on several projects when he died, apparently in his sleep, said his daughter, Kate Bailey.
His consulting firm, Bailey Deardourff & Associates, which he started in 1967 with a fellow political hand, John Deardourff, worked mainly for moderate Republican candidates like Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York, Mayor John V. Lindsay of New York and Senator Charles H. Percy of Illinois. At one point in the late 1970s, the firm had 11 of the country's 19 Republican governors as clients.
Its work on behalf of President Gerald R. Ford's campaign in 1976 against Jimmy Carter, then a former Georgia governor, was widely credited with helping to narrow Mr. Ford's deficit of much as 20 points in the polls — most of it attributed to his pardon of President Richard M. Nixon for his role in Watergate — to 2 points by Election Day.
The firm made some commercials featuring ordinary Americans questioning Mr. Carter's lack of national experience, and others focused on Mr. Ford's likability and long government service, all to the tune of a campaign song, "I'm Feeling Good About America."
"We said to ourselves, what the country knows about Gerald Ford is that he pardoned Nixon," Mr. Bailey told The New York Times. "Let's tell them more, let's give them a view of Jerry Ford the man that's upbeat."
Mr. Deardourff died in 2004 at 71.
Mr. Bailey, who had grown dismayed by the polarization of national campaigns in the 1980s, started The Hotline in 1987 partly as an experiment in bipartisanship, he said. With the Democratic strategist Roger Craver as his partner, he sought to expose the professional political class to a broad range of issues across the ideological spectrum.
Mr. Bailey told interviewers that in The Hotline's first year, potential subscribers asked three main questions: "You're going to do what?" "You want me to pay you how much?" And "What's a fax?"
The Hotline's 500 or so paying subscribers — among them politicians, pundits, political operatives and Congressional staff members — received an exhaustive aggregation of information at 11:30 each morning, including news about state and local election campaigns and grass-roots trends like tax revolts, term-limit drives and environmental initiatives.
It also offered a roundup of political jokes from the previous night's talk-show monologues. Before "The Daily Show," The Hotline was one of the most prodigious purveyors of political humor in the country.
"That's part of political communication these days," Mr. Bailey said, presciently, in a 1991 interview with The Washington Post. "As a practical matter, if you want to know where the people are, their views come from television, and more from programs that don't try to influence them directly, such as the late-night monologues."
The Hotline, which was bought by The National Journal in 1996 and is part of its Web site, became a training ground for political reporters, including Chuck Todd of NBC and Norah O'Donnell of CBS. Its currency has been somewhat devalued in the past decade by free political sites like Politico and Talking Points Memo, whose creators acknowledge The Hotline in their lineage.
Douglas Lansford Bailey was born on Oct. 5, 1933, in Cleveland to Walter and Marion Bailey. His father ran a manufacturing company. After receiving a bachelor's degree from Colgate University, Mr. Bailey received his master's and doctorate degrees from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts.
Besides his daughter, Mr. Bailey is survived by his wife, Patricia, a commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission from 1979 to 1988; his son, Ed; a brother, David; and a grandson.
In 1999, again with Mr. Craver, Mr. Bailey founded the Freedom Channel, which offers politically oriented video online on demand.
In 2006, Mr. Bailey joined with the Democratic political consultants Hamilton Jordan and Gerald Rafshoon in founding a political reform organization, Unity08. It suspended its activities in 2008 after a failed effort to draft Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg of New York to run for president.
"The two-party system has worked well for 200 years and can continue to do so," Mr. Bailey said at the time, "but only when elections are fought over the middle. Our goal is to jolt the two parties into recognizing this, by drawing them into a fight over the middle rather than allowing them to keep maximizing the appeal to their bases at the extremes."
Asked in another interview about politics today, Mr. Bailey said, "Candidates listen too much to consultants because they're driven by winning and money."

Forecasts of world oil demand appear to be converging on a new consensus, averaging more than 100 million b/d in 2019 and rising to a peak somewhere around 2030 to 2040. For the Gulf's low-cost producers, the idea of oil demand starting to fall off after this peak represents a harsh vision and a major challenge to the GCC states' traditional economic model, which relies heavily on crude exports.
The challenge facing oil companies is to squeeze as much value out of each barrel of oil that comes out of the ground, producing more high-value fuels, specialty petrochemicals and industrial feedstocks. The aim is not only to maximise revenues, but also seeking technology and expertise transfers.
Plans are already in place for a massive investment in the downstream sector, with more than $200bn expected to be ploughed into new refining and petrochemicals ventures in the GCC by 2025.
The plans are not before time. Despite being the world's third-biggest petrochemicals-producing region, the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) ranks relatively low on integrating its oil, refining and chemicals sectors. Led by Abu Dhabi and Riyadh's new projects, this is set to change, according to a new report released by the Paris-based International Energy Agency (IEA).
It forecasts primary chemicals consumption will grow almost 60 per cent to 1 billion tonnes by 2050. Nearly 7 million b/d of the extra oil the world will need by then will be used by chemicals manufacturers, the agency said. Already sitting at the lower end of the cost curve among primary petrochemicals producers and accounting for 12 per cent of all global high value-chemicals, the Gulf is well set to take advantage of this growth.
Abu Dhabi is leading the way in the newest investment wave, outlining plans in May for a $45bn expansion of its Ruwais complex. The new site will take advantage of Adnoc's plentiful feedstock, and capitalise on the emirate's willingness to commit funds to develop a new chemicals conversion hub on the Gulf. Adnoc is expected to announce the first of its new international partners for the Ruwais refinery and petrochemicals complex investment programme by the end of the year.
"Such programmes are at least in part explained by the desire to create a more balanced revenue stream, including refining margins," the IEA said in its Future of Petrochemicals report released in October 2018.
There is considerable room for growth. "Of the region's total crude oil production, about 28 million b/d, only about 7 million b/d is refined locally, with the rest exported to global markets," the IEA explained.
Saudi Aramco
Adnoc is not alone, however. Saudi Aramco has tied up with France's Total to expand its Satorp refining and petrochemicals joint venture, and also with Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (Sabic) to develop a new 400,000 b/d crude-to-chemicals facility. This direct processing route may even come to challenge the current model of integration from upstream to refining and then petrochemicals. Aramco aims to raise its global refining capacity to as much as 10 million b/d from about 5 million b/d now, by the middle of the next decade.
Kuwait, Qatar and even Oman have similar schemes underway to integrate their complexes and diversify their production.
Driving construction
The total value of contract awards in the construction and transport sectors increased in the first half of this year, rising to $32bn from $27bn the in second half of 2017, according to regional projects tracker MEED Projects.
With the outlook for oil prices improving through 2017 and in 2018, GCC governments are more free to accelerate strategic projects needed as part of their economic development strategies.
Despite the increase in contract awards in 2018, the total for the first half of this year is still below the average of $40bn of construction and transport contract awards made on a half-yearly basis since 2006, and well below the high of nearly $70bn of awards made in the first half of 2014.
Construction and infrastructure projects in the GCC are being driven by a combination of private real estate developments and government infrastructure needs. The strategic goals set by the GCC states, such as UAE Vision 2021, Saudi Vision 2030 and Kuwait Vision 2035, have increasingly focused on economic growth and "localisation". Population growth in the GCC has necessitated the development of residential units and transport infrastructure.
The region's biggest market, Saudi Arabia, is pushing ahead with a large-scale project development drive led by the sovereign wealth fund, the Public Investment Fund (PIF).
The one-off nature of building and real estate clients, along with the design contribution from architects seeking to add a unique aspect quality to buildings, means that there is a far more bespoke nature to many construction projects, introducing a higher degree of ad hoc decision-making in project delivery.

My passion has always been to helping others achieve health
and happiness inside and out. It was a dream of mine to own a skin care business and provide the community with holistic skin care treatments while using all-natural, organic products. I was fortunate to launch my company 4 years ago within the Just Be Centre. As of January 2019, I am working within Vitality Med Spa.
I believe
in order to achieve ultimate skin health, not only should you be aware of what
you put onto your body, you must be conscious of what you put into it as well.
My goal is to utilize what nature provided through pure, vibrant, whole-plant ingredients, and incorporate my modern professional practices along with ancient skin care techniques, to provide healthy, powerful and effective skin care treatments. Each customized beauty ritual (facial) is personalized to address the individual's different skin and health
concerns, while enhancing the mind, body, and spirit with the healing powers of crystals and gemstones.
I am a South Carolina State Board licensed Esthetician and have received my Esthetics certification from the International Spa Institute in Bluffton, SC in January 2015. I recently received Oncology Esthetics training through Oncology Spa Solutions. In addition to, I am certified in crystal-free microdermabrasion and chemical peels.
Originally from Ohio, I relocated to Bluffton 9 years ago with my better half and our two cats.
I look forward to hearing from you!

Join fellow media engineers and researchers for an evening of food, drinks, and discussion. You'll also have the opportunity to learn more about Netflix's efforts related to High Quality Video Encoding, Media Intelligence, and Encoding & Innovation at Scale.
Whether you're watching Stranger Things on your smart TV with the fastest broadband connection, or Jessica Jones on your mobile device with a choppy cellular network, Netflix is committed to delivering the best picture quality possible. Let's chat about the latest video codec technologies and video quality metrics. See a demo on how low we can go (in bitrate) combining AV1, the dynamic optimizer framework and VMAF-optimization.
The Media Intelligence activity at Netflix applies machine learning and deep neural networks based techniques to our media assets, using cloud tools to understand them and to accelerate their processing. Detection of shot changes, faces, and text in video are examples of such media analysis. The results of these analysis are stored in Netflix Media DataBase (NMDB) which offers a query interface to retrieve the data. Think of it as a way to query media, say "at which point in the movie someone says 'zebra' ?". Come and see our demo of how we use Machine Learning and NMDB to generate images for the Netflix Application User Interface.
Media processing at Netflix involves harnessing and co-ordinating very large compute in a global public cloud (AWS) infrastructure. Come and see how Netflix leverages compute and provides a platform to media algorithm teams to support high quality encoding, media intelligence and media innovation at scale using commodity compute and a simple storage service.

15N20 steel flat bar [1.2mm x 38mm x 450mm]
UHB 15N20 steel flat bar for knife blade making. It is also used in combination with carbon steel for damascus blade making
It is annealed with a clean surface.
15N20 steel is combined with HR1095 for damascus steel.
2% Nickel (Ni). Adds toughness. Present in L6 and AUS6 and AUS8. Nickel is widely believed to play a role in corrosion resistance as well, but this is probably incorrect. One more reason Ni is added to an alloy is that it creates brighter portions in damascus steels.
0,75% Carbon (C). Present in all knife steels, it is the most important hardening element. Increases tensile strength and edge retention and improves resistance to wear and abrasion. Added in isolation, decreases toughness.
0,40% Manganese (Mn). An important element, Manganese improves grain structure and contributes to hardenability, strength, and wear resistance.
0,30% Silicon (Si). Contributes to strength. Like Manganese, deoxidizes and degasifies to remove Oxygen from molten metal.
0,20% Phosphorus (P). Present in small amounts in most steels, phosphorus is essentially a contaminant, which reduces toughness. In very small amounts improves strength, machinability, and hardness.
0,10% Chromium (Cr. Added for increased wear resistance, hardness, tensile strength, and (most importantly) for corrosion resistance. Cr forms large, complex carbides. A steel with at least 13% chromium is typically deemed "stainless".
0,005% Sulfur (S). Typically not desirable in cutlery steel, sulfur increases machinability, but decreases toughness.

PhD Dissertation Proposal Presentation by Weijie Pang
Title: In the Wake of the Financial Crisis – Regulators' and Investors' Perspectives
Abstract: Before the 2008 financial crisis, most research in the financial mathematics didn't consider the effects of counterparties' default, illiquidity problems, systemic risk and the role of the repurchase agreement (Repo). During the 2008 financial crisis, a frozen repo market led to a shutdown of short trades in the stock market. Cyclical interdependencies among corporations caused that a default of one firm seriously affected other firms and even the whole financial network.
In this thesis, we will consider financial markets which are shaped by financial crisis. This will be done from two distinct perspectives, investors' and regulators'. Recently models were proposed to compute the total valuation adjustment (XVA) of derivatives on an investor side, but these models abstract from the effects of Repo markets and their roles in different financial statuses. In our research, we introduce an alternating renewal process to describe a switching between different financial statuses. We develop a framework for pricing the XVA of a European claim in this state-dependent framework. We represent the price as a solution to a backward stochastic differential equation and prove the solution's existence and uniqueness.
To study financial networks from a regulator's perspective, the fixed-point based approach by L. Eisenberg and T. Noe became very popular. In practice, there is no accurate record of the liabilities and thus researchers have to estimate them before apply them in Eisenberg and Noe type models. In our research, we conduct a sensitivity analysis of the Eisenberg and Noe framework, and quantify the clearing payment's sensitivity to such estimation errors. We show that the effect to clearing payment can be describe via directional derivatives that can be showed as solutions of fixed point equations. We also compute the probability of observing clearing payment deviations of a certain magnitude.
