I Struggle With Culture Every Single Day
Glen Tripp, Galileo Learning
August 10, 2015
Done right, culture gives your teammates jetpack powers. Done wrong, your culture becomes a backpack full of rocks that drags people down.
I learned my first big lesson about culture in 1994. I'd joined my brother, Alan Tripp, at the company he founded, SCORE! Educational Centers. At the retail-based tutoring centers, recent college graduates coached kids using adaptive learning software. The software took care of the basics so the tutors could focus on high-level value adds. It was a pretty neat concept. But it was a concept that failed, in large part because we lost sight of our culture.
When I joined, there were 11 employees and a strong, purpose-driven culture. We were doing something bigger than helping kids get better at reading or math; we were changing the way learning was delivered. In 1996, we hired more Stanford graduates than any other company. Harvard Business School wrote a case study about us. It was thrilling. When Kaplan wanted to buy the company—we could grow faster! They could mitigate the risks!—we decided to sell.
Over the next few years, we gained more resources and responsibilities than we ever could have dreamed of. We grew from 14 centers to 130 centers. But we lost our culture along the way. We brought in talent faster than we were able to absorb it. We invested less in our culture-building traditions. Our program got stale, and our performance faltered. Eventually, SCORE! was shut down. We had built something amazing and then watched it crumble.
When I moved on, I wanted to stay in education. It was 2001, and I was concerned that the new No Child Left Behind legislation would shift focus away from creative problem solving and innovation. To counter that tide, a team of 12 of us created a summer camp in Palo Alto where we used project-based learning to develop our campers into innovators. Through the experience of building a go-kart, for example, our campers would gain the mindset and process skills needed to turn any idea into a reality. We called it Camp Galileo.
We're now in year 14 of profitable growth. We've expanded to 46 sites around California. Our staff of 1,700 served 44,000 kids in summer 2015. And we've never taken a single outside dollar.
But I still struggle with culture every single day.
I believe that culture is simply mission and values come to life. We established ours by starting with clarity on why we come to work every day—to develop innovators who envision and create a better world. Then we decided how we wanted to interact with one another, our work and the world at large. We rooted our values in behaviors rather than making them about vague concepts.
Armed with that clarity, we developed hiring systems that screened for mission and values fit. For example, we typically have finalist candidates collaborate together on a group project to help us see how they interact. We are willing to say no to candidates who are long on skills but short on commitment to our mission.
Once people join our organization, they find that the mission and values are not just a piece of paper on the wall. Instead, they experience rituals and practices that reinforce our mission and values at every turn, from recognition by a peer at team meeting to fun camp-like traditions to the way we design our goal-setting and reflection processes. We've got a set of our value substatements in our headquarters conference room. If we think we need to be particularly collaborative or determined in a meeting, we literally place that value statement—"I am collaborative" or "I am determined"—in the center of the table.
In January, we take our new camp directors on a retreat where, at midnight, in the middle of a big, dark hall, we reenact the top-secret founding mythology of Camp Galileo. (It involves a six-foot-tall chicken who spoke to Galileo himself.) And for every thousand-enrollment milestone, we've been known to do a line dance. Rituals and systems make culture real.
Do we always get it right? Absolutely not. We often make mistakes and have to correct, and continual recalibration is mandatory. But hopefully we all know to assume the best intentions, and we share ownership of what we are trying to create together.
Culture is not just fun and games; it's good business. We have an extremely high customer recommendation rate and net promoter score. We've been named the No. 1 place to work among companies with fewer than 100 year-round employees by the San Francisco Business Times and made Inc. magazine's list of the 50 best places to work.
It's not impossible to grow quickly while maintaining or even strengthening your culture, but it isn't enough just to have patient capital. To build a strong culture and Evergreen company that'll be around (and profitable) for the long haul, you need complete alignment of your mission and values—and you also need to be willing to take action.

Production G-6.
Filmed December 14 to 22, 1931. See the 'miscellaneous' section below for details.
Released March 26, 1932. It was the 113th film in the series to be released.
Copyrighted March 29, 1932, by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures Corporation. Registration no. LP2945. Renewed May 19, 1959, with registration no. R236738. This copyright is currently due to expire at the end of 2027.
All-talking two-reeler.
Opening title: '"Our Gang" Comedies - Hal Roach presents His Rascals in "Spanky".'
King World Productions episode no. 49b, available in both colorized and original black-and-white versions.
8 shooting dates went into the making of this film. Three and a half weeks had passed since shooting finished for "Free Eats" (no. 112). The studio was closed during one of those weeks. The 'start' date for "Spanky" arrived on Dec. 14th, and shooting continued until Dec. 22nd, when it was considered 'finished.' No shooting took place on Dec. 13th or 20th, which were both Sundays. After this, five weeks passed before the Our Gang unit began filming "Choo-Choo!" (no. 114). The studio was closed for about a week and a half during this period.
According to Spanky McFarland, footage from his screen test was included in this film. If so, then we can place the earliest shooting date somewhere around late October or early November 1931. In his Cabin Fever introduction for this film, Leonard Maltin specifies that the 'bug-hunting' scene was from the screen test.
In the category of unseen characters are the Marx Brothers. Sherwood asks Wheezer if he's "Zippo" or "Groucho," to which Wheezer replies that he's "Harpo." The cutting continuity corroborates with Sherwood's mispronunciation of "Zeppo."
Reel two opens up with the phonograph record.

After the events of the past week in the US – the marriage equality ruling and the Charleston hate crime – I have been wondering what can *I* personally do to help effect positive change. This is new territory for me. I'm grateful for Pastor John Pavlovitz's suggestion:
"Laws and amendments and judicial rulings can change policy, but only relationships can alter people. I'm inviting those with rainbow profile photos (and those who echo their sentiments) to engage those of differing opinions, who are willing to have a conversation; not a public, passive-aggressive volleying of Scripture quotes and personal jabs and article shares, but an honest, open, fully vulnerable exchange.
That's the only way we move forward from here, the only way we can fashion something deeper and more lasting and more worthy of co-owning."
The Supreme Court's ruling on Marriage finally came down last week—and both Hell and Heaven broke loose, depending on your perspective.
Exhilaration soon followed for those seeing this as a long overdue victory for civil marital equality, while outrage reigned for religious folks believing it to be the final nail in the coffin of Biblical Matrimony.
And there was of course, a flurry of sentiments from both sides on social media; effusive celebration and grief-laden hand wringing flying in as fast as your browser could refresh.
Yet nothing in all of those eloquent words from either side, spoke as clearly and loudly as the brilliant prismatic display of love and affirmation found in the rainbow profile photos now dominating timelines worldwide. That's been the most visible, most revelatory element of the past week, with over 26 million people already choosing to "Amen" the Supreme Court's decision using their own images.
Perhaps the most telling aspect, is that these multicolored flags haven't just been flown by the LGBT…
View original post 564 more words
I felt so much joy seeing all the rainbows filling up my Internet feeds today. I clicked "like" on the news stories and expressions of joy and support for marriage equality. At first, I didn't re-share any of the stories or images. Sometimes I'll re-share a news story in order to get the word out, in case someone might have missed the news. In this case, I seriously doubted anyone had missed this news, regardless of their opinion on the issue. I also felt that, because "likes" are visible, people following me could – and would – see that I was "liking" the news of today's ruling. I thought, "Do people really need to see one more rainbow, supplied by me?"
And then I remembered something I read a few days ago, related to the Charleston hate crime and the continued work we as a society need to do to fight racism. Karen Walrond invites us to Say Something:
…if you truly want to fight racism, then please, speak out against racism. Make it clear, in your own words — not just retweeting or resharing the words of Jon Stewart or someone else — tell folks how you feel. Take a stand, for heaven's sake. (But then, after you've done that, do freely share articles and posts and links to organizations that fight racism. Amplify, amplify, amplify. Because frankly, those of us who are of colour need white voices to help amplify the cause.)
After remembering Karen's words, I did make a start by re-sharing a rainbow image celebrating marriage equality. But I realized that my own words were missing. Here they are:
I am so happy that the freedom to marry* is now legal for same-sex couples across the nation! I have seen the hurtful effects of discrimination of all kinds – individual, legal, and institutionalized. I have often wondered, lamented, and felt hopeless about the possibility of change. Today's ruling shows that change CAN happen. It is proof of hopefulness and perseverance in the face of hate, exclusion, and daunting odds.
And I can hear the mental tapes of my childhood upbringing saying, "Don't post a rainbow online! What if someone targets you?" To those voices, I say, "Just think if I were gay. Would you still tell me to hide?"
Time to celebrate!!

"I am often struck by the fact that the modern world is full of affected knowledge & information that, when you get right down to it, is only relevant to the extent we grant it relevance. We have become very good at procuring & prioritizing things that are not fundamentally all that important – cars and computers and cell phones come to mind – even as we have become less good at providing for ourselves the things that are downright essential: Food. Shelter. Water. Warmth." -Ben Hewitt

Wow, I just love this line.
From "Time to Quit" by James Altucher. Great post on giving yourself permission to open space for yourself and for possibility.
This is an oldie and SO, so good. I was reminded of this message the other day and enjoyed getting a chance to watch it again.
And another gift!! In grammar school, we did a class project where groups of kids would draw basic internal anatomy – lungs, heart, etc. I was assigned the brain. There was no way I was going to draw those life-like creases and folds, so my brain was "static hairball brain". I was teased and still remember it, haha!!!! And then I saw the "my ideas" graphic in this video.

It is necessary for the meals to be nutritious if you want to slim down. A less than nutritious diet can lead to stroke, heart attack, organ damage, osteoporosis, muscle loss, slow metabolism, and low energy levels. Here are some crucial meal plans for weight loss.
Omega-3 fatty acids are vital for good health. This nutrient is abundant in fish like salmon, sardines, trout, anchovies, mackerel, shrimp, cod, halibut, and tuna. You can also find this fatty acid in non-seafood sources like cabbage, flax seeds, kale, collard greens, and raw nuts.
Omega-3 fatty acids are located in high concentrations in the mind, so this nutrient is vital for the brain to operate at optimum levels. Omega 3 reduces the threat of cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, strokes, and a few kinds of cancer.
Omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation within the body; therefore, it is valuable for individuals who have problems with arthritis and other painful conditions of the joints. This healthy fat also reduces the symptoms of bipolar, depression, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Studies proved that exposure to omega-3 lessen behavior problems and developmental delays in kids. This nutrient boosts the metabolism and may assist with weight loss because it helps curb the appetite.
In the event you feel you are not getting enough omega-3 in your diet, take fish oil supplements because it can greatly help. Always consult a healthcare professional before taking omega 3 nutritional supplements.
Foods That Contain Healthful Carbs
Carbs are a crucial source of energy for the body to function correctly. Carbs will also be very important for the right operation of the brain, heart, and defense mechanisms. You will feel tired and run down, if you do not include enough carbs in your diet.
When you consume carbs, the body converts them, breaks them down, and stores them. Refined carbohydrates for example white bread, white rice, and pastas are not great as they digest immediately to include in your diet and can raise your blood sugar. This could improve your likelihood of weight gain and diabetes.
The best sources of carbs come from foods like legumes, veggies, brown rice, sprouted grain bread, spelt bread, and fruits. These foods are packed with fiber so they assist you to eat less throughout the day, keep you full longer, and regulate digestion.
Protein is very important for the muscles, internal organs, skin, hair, and nails. Protein also helps fight ailments and empowers your own body to fix itself. Foods that are rich in protein include lentils, lean meats, poultry, fish, dry legumes, and organic eggs.
Iron is vital in the body for the reason that it helps transport oxygen to the cells, regulates the body temperature, and builds red blood cells. Iron deficiency can cause weakness, fatigue, paleness, and cold hands and feet.
Getting tons of calcium within the body is crucial for strong bones and teeth. This mineral also helps muscles contract and the blood vessels. If you do not get enough calcium in what you eat, you will have higher chances of suffering from osteoporosis, and will leech the calcium it needs from your bones.
Keeping meal plans for weight loss rich in healthy carbohydrates, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, iron, and protein can help you shed weight while provide your body with enough nutrients for its to function properly.

I feel like I am the luckiest photographer in all of the world. I keep running across dream clients who totally get me and the importance of documentary photography. Tifany and Dan get it…their session was full of everything you would expect from a family with a 2.5 year old and a newborn. From fussing and fits, to squeals and giggles, to nursing and snake hunting, we had it all.
Blaze was so entertaining and Tifany and I commiserated on how hard it is to have a two year old and a newborn…I assured her that the hard times will not last forever (although my kids are currently screaming in another room, fighting over a pacifier that they found who knows where, ha!) Dan and Blaze are such buddies and it was so cute to watch them play with trucks, shoot hoops and explore on our walk through the trail we traveled.
This family was once again a reminder of why I do what I do, and I am so happy that they get it. I woke up to this review from Tifany today:
"I loved the idea of documentary style photography and Adrienne nails it! She is very professional, very kind and very friendly! I truly felt comfortable around her from the first moment she arrived at my house. I have a 2.5 year old and a newborn and our pictures turned out phenomenal!!!! I was expecting great but when we had our "unveiling" my husband and I were blown away!! She captures memories that I hoped to never forget and now I never will. She is more than just a photographer, she is an artist! I would highly recommend her to all but especially to those with small children hoping to never forget the small moments."
Makes my heart happy…so THANK YOU Tifany, Dan, Blaze and Brooklyn for inviting me into your lives and helping me to create your personal art!
I hope you enjoy their storytelling session below as much as I enjoyed creating it! And make sure to scroll to the bottom for their video with even more photos and video of our session!

Within the steering wheel business monoblock as well as 3 item tend to be 2 of the very well-liked kinds of solid tires. The actual conditions "monoblock" as well as "3 piece" make reference to the actual building from the steering wheel, however the commonalities finish presently there. Actually, there are lots of variations between your 2 kinds which make every well suited for different types of auto programs.
Monoblock wheelsare also called "one-piece" tires, which means that they're solid right into a solitary component with no detachable elements. Throughout the production procedure the monoblock steering wheel starts like a solitary, circular prevent associated with 6061-T1 light weight aluminum metal. The actual light weight aluminum prevent is actually compacted as well as put through extreme warmth that produces the thick feed framework as well as types the circular, empty bit of steel. The actual solitary bit of light weight aluminum metal is actually after that flow-formed as well as put into the CNC milling device in which the spokes tend to be created to complete the actual production procedure.
Becoming which monoblocks are manufactured from just one bit of light weight aluminum metal, they're the actual lightest associated with solid tires. Their own reduced pounds is actually desired because they assistance to decrease unsprung bulk which could decrease speed occasions, improve braking, as well as enhance dealing with. Monoblock tires in many cases are more affordable compared to their own 2- or even 3-piece solid counterparts, because less components are utilized with regard to building. Nevertheless, if your monoblock steering wheel is actually broken or even curved they're hard to correct, frequently needing an entire steering wheel alternative.
3 item solid tires provide various benefits more than monoblocks, mainly from the design perspective. The 3 item steering wheel offers 3 primary components: the middle, the actual external ring or even "lip", and also the internal ring. The actual production procedure for 3 item tires is comparable to which of the monoblock, other than much more light weight aluminum metal obstructs are utilized because of the elevated quantity of components. Following all the items tend to be machine made, they're attached collectively utilizing numerous border mounting bolts as well as covered utilizing Silicon RTV.
The actual building associated with 3 item solid tires enables producers a chance to provide a broader selection of widths as well as fitments with regard to clients. 3 item tires will also be probably the most easy to customize because the elements could be very easily colored or even chromed to produce a distinctive colour plan. When they maintain any kind of harm it may be easily changed. Additionally, 3 item solid tires support the greatest resell worth among utilized tires. 3 item tires aren't without having their own drawbacks. They're probably the most costly solid tires for their multi-piece production, and when the actual RTV Silicon close off is actually damaged, leakages may type.

More than 50 million of the books are in print in more than ten languages, including Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese and Hungarian.
Mr. Griffin grew up in the suburbs of New York City and Philadelphia. He enlisted in the United States Army in 1946. After basic training, he received counterintelligence training at Fort Holabird, Maryland. He was assigned to the Army of Occupation in Germany, and ultimately to the staff of then-Major General I.D. White, commander of the U.S. Constabulary.
In 1951, Mr. Griffin was recalled to active duty for the Korean War, interrupting his education at Phillips University, Marburg an der Lahn, Germany. In Korea he earned the Combat Infantry Badge as a combat correspondent and later served as acting X Corps (Group) information officer under Lieutenant General White.
On his release from active duty in 1953, Mr. Griffin was appointed Chief of the Publications Division of the U.S. Army Signal Aviation Test & Support Activity at Fort Rucker, Alabama.
Mr. Griffin is a member of the Special Operations Association, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion, the Army Aviation Association, the Armor Association and the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) Society.

He is a Life Member of the National Rifle Association. And he belongs to the Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Pensacola, Florida, chapters of the Flat Earth Society.
Mr. Griffin's novels, known for their historical accuracy, have been praised by The Philadelphia Inquirer for their "fierce, stop-for-nothing scenes."
"Nothing honors me more than a serviceman, veteran, or cop telling me he enjoys reading my books," Mr. Griffin says.
Mr. Griffin divides his time between the Gulf Coast and Buenos Aires.

Yay, comics again. At the moment I am reading the German run of Flashpoint. THE DC event that will truly change everything. I've already heard about this relaunch/reboot last year, when it happened in the US. And I followed the news via DC's Facebook page ever since, not too careful cause I didn't want to spoil myself. Everything I got: DC ended all their ongoing comic books and completly started over with 52 new #1s. Even Earth's most tradtional comic books "Action Comics" and "Detective Comics" started with new #1s. Actually this is really risky but I didn't think about it that much in the beginning.
One news I did notice was the introduction of a new character: The Horsewoman. HORSEWOMAN! I mean, what comes to your mind, when you read "HORSEWOMAN"? "She is strong, she is fast, she eats 400 pounds of hay every day!" Many DC Facebook fans (including me) were like "Haha, you can't be serious!". I commented something like "You still think the relauch was a good idea?" and I got 5 likes or so with that. The first thing I had to think of was MARVEL's Squirrel Girl, who actually is a woman in a furry squirrel suit! I guess she has a kid with Luke Cage… I'm not sure, I saw her once in a Spider-Man comic, sitting in the Avengers Mansion, feeding the baby and phoning with Spidey.
In the end "Horse Woman" turned out to be a medieval archer or something. (see here: www.dccomics.com/blog/2011/07/28/introducing-the-horsewoman/) But after Spider-Man, Wolverine, Batman, Hawkman (and others) who are named after animals and all have huge characteristics of animals (either by the looks of the costumes or the powers or whatever) you expect a character half woman – half horse. And I prefer the centaur look and not this sick furry-hentai version (omg). But why then name it "Horse Woman"? What was wrong with "Medieval Archer Woman"? Or… "Arrow Girl"… or "Aim Bitch"? Anyways…
I'm still waiting for the German start of the relaunch which will happen in June. Flashpoint is over in May. But I took the chance to take a look at the US-editions of some New 52 releases. I checked "Action Comics", "Batman", "Detective Comics", "Batwing", "Teen-Titans", "Superboy", "Wonder Woman", "Firestorm", "Flash", "Red Lanterns", "Blue Beetle" and "Legion of Super Heroes". And I didn't like most of them. But mainly because I've never liked most of the heroes themselves.
Additionally in Germany, comic book releases work differently. In America you have 22 to 40 paged floppies released monthly that are $2.99 to $3.99 depending on the number of pages. German floppies are different: first of all both MARVEL AND DC comics are released by the same German publisher. And German floppies always collect several issues of a series and do not only contain one chapter. Those floppies are from 3.95 Euro to 5.95 Euro, also depending on the number of pages. So whatever I've said about German comic book prices, at least the floppies seem to be a bit cheaper here than in the US!!!
So the New 52 also will be released differently: Many heroes do not come alone, for example Action Comics shares a monthly book with Supergirl, the JLA shares a book with the Teen-Titans and The Dark Knight has a tête-à-tête with Nightwing. The German issues will have 52 to 60 pages and will be 4.95 Euro which is a fair price! Most of the other series are released in TPB form with up to 130 pages for maximum 16.95 Euro. And here is what I don't get about German comic book prices: Batgirl and Aquaman both contain 132 pages and are 14.95 Euro, Catwoman and JLA Dark also contain 132 pages each and are 16.95 Euro… just because of a "Premium look" or so. WHY??? I wanna read the comic, I don't need no premium-collectors-good-looking-sparkling-glow-in-the-dark-shit (everytime I start to connect words it comes out like this!!!). The result is that I won't read Catwoman! PERIOD! After I checked the US-editions I decided to buy the German issues of Superman (which contain Action Comics and Supergirl) and JLA (which contain JLA and Teen Titans).
Now to the relaunch in general. Of course this is a brave thing to actually relaunch everything and even reboot many franchises. I still don't know what happens in the end of Flashpoint. As far as I've heard in Podcasts and read on the internet some series aren't even affected at all and go on at the point we've left them after "Brightes Day" or "Blackest Night" or "Twilightedest Afternoon" I only have one question: WHY? I mean modernizing everything is a good thing. Superman looked almost the same since he came up in the 1930ies and wasn't changed a lot. That's a good thing. And I really like the redesign of most of the characters.
But there is something that really fucks me up: Barbara Gordon is Batgirl again. In one of the most amazing comic books I have ever read, Alan Moore's "The Killing Joke", Barbara Gordon was shot down by the Joker and suffered paraplegia, forcing her to sit in a wheel chair. She later became Oracle and some sort of the computer operator of the "Birds of Prey" (you know those hot chick superheroes ). And now she is able to be a Batgirl again? There is a comic book journalist who also sits in a whell chair who claims Barbara Gordon to be a figurehead for disabled women. Well… maybe. Perhaps it is just… you know I don't wanna insult disabled people or other minorities. But sometimes they just try to find strong figureheads even if they don't need them. My problem with Barbara Gordon walking again is a different one: HOW? I mean, my first thought when I head about that was, they are making all the great comic stories I've read in the last years completly meaningless! Like they have never ever happened! I mean, editors, writers and so on have stated that all the important events of the last decades have happened and still have their meaning. "The Killing Joke" was one of the most distracting and influencial stories. And by letting Barbara Gordon walk again, you take away this meaning from it. But I've already seen the cover artwork of #8 of Batgirl showing her followed by a demon or devil or so. So maybe everything was make-believe and she still sits in the wheel chair… but I don't care. For me it is like they just completly started over and didn't mind the stuff that already was there. I don't like that. And basically they are doing that regularly with every big event: killing unpopular characters, merging Earths, changing costumes of heroes. And! So! On!
But even before the start in Germany I've heard that a lot of new series were canceled already with the new #8. I mean, DC actually put up 52 (!!!) new comic books and still had their imprints releasing stuff. Even old franchise like "Batman, Inc." will later be continued. It's clear that certain franchises had no chance. No matter if it was due bad quality or just dislike of the characters. I mean, there are DC heroes I already didn't like before the relaunch like Mr Terrific, which is one of the canceled comics. Gosh, stupid… And there are even heroes or characters I am missing: what about Lobo??? But in fact you can't buy all the comics anyway. Just by buying all new #1s you would have spend way over $ 150 (that is the main reason why I'm happy that "Countdown to Final Crisis" was released in TPB form here in Germany ).
Well, we have to wait what comes out at the end. I guess writers at DC have an overall concept with this thing. And as far as I heard everything that happens in the new continuity will later also affect the old continuity. So maybe it is less worse than we all think. But DC should also think of their legacy.
Follow the little new 52S!!!

There is a lot of turmoil going on right now, as people gain awareness of the things that are happening in the world. As we discover things that lie within our core.
It is easy to look at things from a negative viewpoint, us against them, they are trying to end our way of being, how can they not see. Both sides have this in common. Whether right or wrong given that conflict of this nature exists.
After a point, there will be greater conflict, as you express your version of reality upon others. The others who have their own identity and culture will resist, as always.
Change is constant, your perspective has flaws, as does theirs.
I can listen to music from my some of my favorite artists, who a few years ago would have been locked out from getting that level of distribution.
This ubiquitous occurrence, signifies the opening of new pathways of information flow, of connection. Inspiration and motivation, new signals coming in offering differing perspectives on the same event.
The internet was not a small event, we are now more connected than ever, and dealing with this information override on a global basis.
The "how could you say that" occurrences that happen on a personal level are being played out on a global level, and reflected in our cultures, in our behaviors, in our politics, in our actions as a species.

Rep Roe is a very thoughtful American who must believe that charity begins at home and he must wonder why the bureaucrats at FEMA who have money in the Flood Insurance Fund, have been dragging their feet in helping those in need.ReplyDelete
I applaud Rep. Roe and wonder if you have sent your personal funds to help these victims.
Anonymous - your sarcasm is wasted here. "charity begins at home" must mean, as you and Rep. Roe define it, "tough shit."ReplyDelete
Your lies are wasted here too. FEMA is almost out of the Flood Insurance funds, thats why more was sought. But what place do facts have in importance for you and your ilk? None.
Go educate yourself. Or just shut up.
Roe, DesJarlais, Duncan, Fincher and the despicable Marsha Blackburn have all, once again, embarassed the State of Tennessee. Tennesseans should give them each a call to let them know how disgusted they really are.ReplyDelete

2. Doesn't the Prophet Joseph Smith's statement regarding the sealing of righteous parents seem to indicate that the parents' calling and election must be made sure?
Yes, but we must keep some things in mind. Those who endure faithfully to the end of their days and remain obedient to their covenants will receive the promise of eternal life, either here or hereafter (D&C 14:7; 50:5; 53:7; 58:2). Elder Bruce R. McConkie thus expressed the following sentiments at the funeral of Elder S. Dilworth Young: "If we die in the faith, that is the same thing as saying that our calling and election has been made sure and that we will go on to eternal reward hereafter. As far as faithful members of the Church are concerned, . . . if they are in the line of their duty, if they are doing what they ought to do, although they may not have been perfect in this sphere, their probation is ended . . . with their death" (Funeral Service for S. Dilworth Young, 13 July 1981, typescript, 5; emphasis added).
3. Is all of this really fair to those parents who have been successful in rearing their family, or to those children who have kept themselves from serious sin?
To be frank, all of us are guilty of sin. All of us are in need of pardoning mercy. All of us fall short of the divine standard. Inasmuch as each of us is a recipient of unending and unmerited grace, how can we speak of the Lord's pardoning mercy toward wayward children as unfair?
That a pure and innocent man should suffer and agonize over others' transgressions is not fair. But the plan of the Father is not a plan of fairness, at least as we judge fairness from our limited perspective; it is a plan of mercy and grace. The Father and the Son love us in ways that we cannot comprehend. They will do all that is within the bounds of propriety to save as many of the posterity of Adam and Eve as will be saved. President J. Reuben Clark, Jr. spoke of the goodness of our God: "I feel that [the Lord] will give that punishment which is the very least that our transgression will justify. . . . I believe that when it comes to making the rewards for our good conduct, he will give the maximum that is possible to give" (From "As Ye Sow. . ," BYU devotional address, 3 May 1955).
When a Child Wanders
There is power in righteousness, power that activates God's covenant with His people, power that binds and seals here and hereafter, power that links the children of Abraham, the children of the covenant, together in love and unity. Righteous parents thereby impact generations to come. "Rewards for obedience to the commandments," Elder Russell M. Nelson explained, "are almost beyond mortal comprehension. Here, children of the covenant become a strain of sin-resistant souls. And hereafter . . . children of the covenant, and 'each generation [will] be linked to the one which went on before . . . [in] the divine family of God.' Great comfort comes from the knowledge that our loved ones are secured to us through the covenants" (Ensign, May 1995, 33-34; citing Joseph Fielding Smith, Conference Report, October 1950, 13-14).
President Gordon B. Hinckley, in addressing the Saints in Great Britain, said: "I leave my blessing upon you. May there be food on your table, clothing on your backs, shelter over your heads and a sense of security and peace and love among your children, precious children every one of them, even those who may have strayed. I hope you don't lose patience with them; I hope you go on praying for them, and I don't hesitate to promise that if you do so, the Lord will touch their hearts and bring them back to you with love and respect and appreciation" (From a fireside address at Crawley, reported in Church News, 2 September 1995, 4).
And so, because we are mortal and cannot see the end from the beginning, when a child wanders we fret and ache and sometimes despair. But there is hope smiling brightly before us, hope that springs forth from the elevated perspective provided by the power of the gospel covenant. Truly, as the Prophet Joseph Smith taught, "There is never a time when the spirit is too old to approach God. All are within the reach of pardoning mercy, who have not committed the unpardonable sin" (History of the Church 4:425; emphasis added).
And so we wait, we watch, we fast and pray, and we continue to lift our voices heavenward. And, perhaps most importantly, we continue to love those who wander and we never, never give up hope. There is a God in heaven who is our Eternal Father, and he lives in the family unit. Jesus, the Good Shepherd, will go in search of his lost sheep. The gospel covenant is broad and deep and penetrating as eternity, and there are righteous forces at work that are beyond our capacity to perceive or comprehend. I know, with all my heart, that "the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man [or woman] availeth much" (James 5:16), and that one day our God will wipe away all tears (Isaiah 25:8; Revelation 7:17; 21:4).
Find comfort and hope with more from Robert L. Millet in When a Child Wanders.
Is there hope for children who reject the gospel of Jesus Christ, who turn willfully against their parents' teachings and fall into forbidden paths? Can anything alleviate the pain their behavior causes?
Robert L. Millet provides hope for families with wayward children by focusing on the scriptural and prophetic promises to those who have received the blessings of the gospel covenant. Wandering children and the trail of attendant sorrows are no respecter of persons. These make their way into the families of the rich and poor, active, and less active, functional and dysfunctional. This book faces head-on the reality that sometimes things simply don't turn out as we had planned. Robert Millet uncovers the doctrinal basis for hope when a loved one forsakes the faith.

Tips on Vegan Eating and How to Start Easily
Have you thought about giving a vegan diet a go but feel a little overwhelmed with all of the information out there? Does it seem impossible to live without cheese or get enough protein without animal products?
Don't despair! A vegan diet doesn't have to be about what you don't eat; it can be about all of the delicious plant-based foods that you do eat!. With a little bit of know-how, you can cut out the animal products without breaking the bank or feeling deprived.
Creating Balanced, Vegan Meals, Even on a Budget
While you can certainly break the bank buying fancy-pants vegan foods, you don't have to spend a lot to eat vegan. In fact, if you avoid pricey, processed vegan foods you'll probably see your food spending go down when you cut out the meat. Here are some examples of inexpensive, tasty foods that won't kill your budget:
- Beans. Beans are protein superstars. They're also cheap, filling, and easy to prepare. If you're on a very tight budget, dried beans are a great way to stretch your food dollars.
- Whole Grains. Grains are easy to prepare, and generally pretty inexpensive. If your local market sells grains in their bulk bins, there's a good chance you'll find the best deals there.
- Fresh fruits and veggies. A good way to stock your kitchen with inexpensive, fresh produce is to join a CSA or check out your local farmer's market. Local Harvest is a great resource to help you track down fresh, locally-grown produce near you.
- Meat and Dairy Substitutes. I think of these as more of a sometimes food, with the exception of almond milk, since fake meat and dairy products can be pricey and they're not always a healthy choice, either. For a quick meal, though, or to satisfy a craving, there are lots of faux options out there. I recommend Daiya non-dairy cheese, Field Roast brand sausages, and Tofurkey cold cuts, if you're new to the meat and dairy substitution thing.
Your best resource for planning vegan meals is a cookbook or website with lots of vegan recipes. Check out the resources section below for some recommendations.
Planning Vegan Meals
Planning vegan breakfasts, lunches, and dinners might seem tricky at first. Here are a few options to get you going!
- Breakfast. Toast with peanut butter and coffee with almond milk, oatmeal with walnuts and raisins topped with a splash of rice milk, whole grain cereal with almond milk and sliced banana.
- Lunch. Fresh veggie sandwich with avocado, tomato, sliced onion, and spicy mustard on whole wheat toast, veggie burger with a side of oven fries, pasta salad loaded with fresh veggies and beans
- Dinner. A veggie loaf (see the resources below!), grilled eggplant in tahini sauce with a side of mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli, tofu stir fry with your favorite veggies over brown rice or noodles, roasted veggies tossed with chick peas in a sesame vinaigrette
Eating Vegan Resources
We've got some great resources to help you make the leap over at Eat Drink Better, and there are a few other places that I've found incredibly helpful when it comes to vegan meal-planning and finding vegan nutrition information.
- At Eat Drink Better, our Eating Vegan series answers questions from how to live without cheese to how to fuel your vegan workout.
- Looking for vegan nutrition information? The Vegan R.D. is my go-to for any questions in that arena. Ginny Messina is a vegan dietician and gives straightforward, honest information about all manner of vegan nutrition issues.
- This might seem super specific, but I'd be lost without The Magical Loaf Studio. This tool from Vegan Lunch Box helps you create delicious veggie loaves using what you have handy in the kitchen right now. Perfect for whipping up a meal when the cupboard is bare!
- Need vegan recipes? Some of my favorite sites include, The Post Punk Kitchen, Manifest Vegan (especially helpful if you're also gluten free), and Fatfree Vegan. If cookbooks are more your thing, check out Veganomicon, Eat Vegan on $4 a Day, and Vegan Lunchbox for some great vegan cooking inspiration!
- To shop for vegan specialty foods, you can check out stores like Whole Foods or Trader Joes. Online, I highly recommend Cosmo's Vegan Shoppe. It's based here in Atlanta and run by two of my favorite local vegan peeps.

.25 Decred For Sale: The Affluence Network: The Opulence Cryptocurrency
We would like to thank you for coming to us in looking for ".25 Decred For Sale" online. You have probably seen this many times where you frequently spread the nice word about crypto. "It is not volatile? What goes on when the price failures? " to date, many POS devices presents free conversion of fiat, improving some worry, but until the volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, a lot of people is going to be resistant to carry any. We need to find a way to struggle the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies. The physical Internet backbone that carries data between the various nodes of the network is now the work of several firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes firms that offer long-distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local conduit, which ultimately connects in households and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through any of these ISPs, players like level 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP manages its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private firms, and sometimes by Governments, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and businesses who want to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network causes it to be possible for the information to stream without interruption, in the right spot at the right time.
While none of these organizations "possesses" the Internet collectively these firms determine how it works, and recognized rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's taking place to ascertain how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for instance, one needs consent from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone for connecting to and with her. Concern over security dilemmas? A working group is formed to work with the problem and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you have someone to call to get it fixed. If the difficulty is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in position and service level agreements, which govern the way in which these issues are worked out.
The benefit of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain is not governed by any centralized firm. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a dedicated advocate badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet functions. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works current inherent difficulties to an individual. Blockchain technology has none of that. Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, yet, if growth is too fast, there may be some issues. If the platform is adopted fast, Ethereum requests could improve dramatically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under such a scenario, the entire platform of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the raising costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether may result in a negative change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based company that may lead to company being unable to continue to manage or to discontinue operation. For most users of cryptocurrencies it isn't essential to understand how the process operates in and of itself, but it is basically vital that you understand that there is a process of mining to create virtual currency. Unlike monies as we know them today where Authorities and banks can simply choose to print unlimited numbers (I am not saying they are doing thus, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining software, which solves the advanced algorithms to release blocks of monies that can enter into circulation.
.25 Decred For Sale: It Has Legs on All Levels – The Affluence Network
As one of the earliest forms of making money is in cash lending, it is accurate that you could do this with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending websites now focus on business of Bitcoin, but I am confident there will be one or two who will already have arrived in/nearby that can give other currencies. Some websites are now outside: valves: these are websites where you fill in a captcha after a specific period of time and are rewarded with a little amount of coins for that faucet. You can visit the www.cryptofunds.co website to find some lists of pat into the money of your choice in the Knowledge Base section. Some websites of pat include: Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin marketplaces have very different dynamics. The new ones are constantly popping up which means they do not have lots of market data and historical perspective for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have somewhat poor liquidity as well. The best way to develop a reasonable plan and test it in the light of these complications? Anyone can become a Bitcoin miner running software with specialized hardware. Mining software listen for transmission transactions on the peer-to-peer network and perform the appropriate tasks to process and validate these transactions. Bitcoin miners do this because they are able to earn transaction fees paid by users for quicker transaction processing, and new bitcoins in existence are under denominated formulas. Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in the same way, but in addition they take part in more complex smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a certain number of a defined group of folks consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This permits progressive dispute arbitration services to be developed in the future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment procedures, the blockchain always leaves public proof that a transaction occurred. This can be possibly used in a appeal against businesses with deceptive practices. When searching on the web for.25 Decred For Sale, there are many things to think about.

Click here to visit our home page and learn more about .25 Decred For Sale. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, The Affluence Network, and many others have been designed as a non-fiat currency. In other words, its backers claim that there's "actual" value, even through there is no physical representation of that value. The value increases due to computing power, that is, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU power via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time frame that is worth an ever diminishing amount of money or some kind of reward to be able to ensure the shortfall. Each coin consists of many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are exactly to authenticate other trades, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant alternative, which can be among the appealing aspects of the coin. The blockchain is where the public record of transactions resides. Most all cryptocurrencies function as Bitcoin does.
The fact that there's little evidence of any growth in the utilization of virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal attempts to regulate it. The reason for this could be simply that the market is too little for cryptocurrencies to warrant any regulatory effort. It is also possible the regulators simply do not understand the technology and its implications, expecting any developments to act. In case of the fully-functioning cryptocurrency, it could actually be dealt being a commodity. Proponents of cryptocurrencies announce that kind of digital income isn't handled with a fundamental bank system and is not therefore susceptible to the whims of its inflation. Because there are a minimal number of items, this cashis price is based on market forces, letting owners to business over cryptocurrency trades.

Adlertech International and Optical Deterrent Systems LLC Partner
Wednesday, December 01, 2004
Press release from the issuing companyAdlertech International Inc. and Optical Deterrent Systems LLC, leading providers of VOID pantograph technology to the print industry, have signed a comprehensive technical support agreement. Effective November 22, 2002, Adlertech assumes all technical support duties on behalf of ODS for licensees. The technical support agreement ensures that Optical Deterrent Systems commercial licensees can become compliant with ANSI X 9.7 requirements for Check 21. Adlertech International Inc. is the leader in advanced VOID pantograph printing techniques and methodologies; and can offer the guarantee that it's methods and techniques will ensure that the VOID pantograph will run "smooth" without the common production and wastage problems associated with printing the VOID pantographs. Check 21 is the biggest operational change for the banking industry in decades. Banks will no longer be required to exchange paper checks; they will be able to electronically scan and image those same checks and exchange the images instead of the paper checks. In order to make the operations efficient these new check images must scan clean; the VOID Pantographs must drop out and not be seen in the scan. "What we have done is made printing a VOID pantograph easy and cost effective. We have eliminated waste and made production consistent" says Andrew McTaggart of Adlertech International. McTaggart continues "We have always enjoyed our professional relationship with Optical Deterrent Systems and we see this agreement as a very logical next step in that relationship." Bob Saunders, Vice President and General Manager for Optical Deterrent Systems agrees, "Adlertech has demonstrated that they have an advanced understanding of VOID pantographs and Check 21 compliancy. We have been running this void technology since 1996 and Adlertech has assisted us in making it compliant".

The X factor
Why are there so few female composers? Or Nobel Prize-winning scientists? Are men superior in these areas, or have women simply been given fewer opportunities?
In almost every sphere of public life, historically it has been men who have 'excelled'. Even today, there are fewer world-famous female conductors or brain surgeons or architects than male ones – certainly fewer than the 50 per cent of the total one might expect, all other things being equal.
Several theories have been put forward to explain this. Some people – usually men – argue that women are inferior to men in certain areas, such as in physical strength. But while women may not able to match men in sports, there is little evidence for male superiority in areas where physical strength is not needed.
An alternative theory is that there is greater variability of characteristics in men. If this were true, there would be more men at the extremes and most high achievers (as well as the biggest underachievers) would be male. Again, there is not much evidence to support this view.
A third theory is that life at the extremes is highly competitive. In this case those exploiting masculine behaviours would succeed, thus favouring men over women.
Perhaps, though, women have simply had less opportunity. In the past many occupations were closed to women (eg medicine until the late 19th century), or women had to leave work when they married or became pregnant. Women's contributions were belittled or ignored, or credit was given to a male 'superior'. It is not that women lacked the ability; they just never had the chance.

Rosalind Franklin, the scientist whose work help revealed the structure of DNA, was not allowed to eat her lunch in the same room as her male colleagues. Her father initially did not want her to go to university at all. She had a particularly difficult relationship with Maurice Wilkins, who showed her work to James Watson and Francis Crick without her permission. It was Watson and Crick who published the structure of DNA. Franklin died before the Nobel Prize for the structure was awarded, though it's debatable whether she would have received her fair share of the prize.Lead image:

At least once a year I do a clean-up of my file cabinets, and I just finished my latest round. Every time I do this, I'm amazed at the stuff I have kept that I really don't need.
For your amusement (and inspiration), the following is what I got rid of this time:
Travel information
I tossed a lot of papers in this category, including:
- Train schedules from 10 years ago
- Clippings about recommended hotels and restaurants — from the 1990s
- Brochures I picked up while visiting an area that I'll probably never return to — and the brochures weren't even that enticing
Inspirational and sentimental stuff
I worked for Hewlett-Packard Company for many years; the founders, Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard, are still two of the people I admire most. I had a lot of information about them, and I narrowed it down to the few things that were especially meaningful to me. I scanned many of those, and got rid of the paper.
Advice from Miss Manners
I really enjoy the Miss Manners columns, and I'd clipped a number of them. The ones I still found useful — maybe a quarter of the one I had saved — got scanned, and all the clippings were recycled.
Medical information
I'm talking here about general information, not my personal health information. Even though I'd discarded much of this before because medical information changes so quickly and so much is available online, I still found a few papers I had kept for no good reason. I really don't need the newsletter from a local hospital, from 2004, talking about mini-incision hip replacement!
Song lyrics
Why in the world did I keep printouts of song lyrics? I'm not even talking about the nice inserts from old LPs, just computer printouts.
Writing tips
I had kept tips on good writing, which included things I've long ago absorbed. So, out went the April 1995 article on using quotes in articles.
Old information about the San Francisco Bay Area
There is a lot being written lately about high-tech companies and their employees ruining San Francisco (or not, depending on your perspective) and about these employees driving up housing prices in the area. These were good for a laugh, before they hit the recycling bin:
- Three articles about dot-com companies and their employees ruining San Francisco — from 1999
- An article showing examples of Silicon Valley houses available at the then-current median price, also from 1999
Miscellaneous oddities
Here are some of the other papers I found, and discarded:
- A clipping from 2003 about how house sizes increased from 1900 to 2000
- Printouts of documents I have on my computer — things that I probably printed some time ago for easier reading, but that I certainly don't need in paper form any more
- The manual for Norton AntiVirus 9.0, from 2004
- A clothing catalog from Spring 2010, with something I was considering purchasing but never did
In summary, I'm getting rid of everything in my filing cabinet that is out of date, no longer interesting or useful, or readily replaced with online information.
What have you cleared out of your file cabinet lately? Please share your discoveries in the comments.
