Searching for roofing contractors isn't all that difficult especially when there are several companies out there that are worth considering. However, out of ten roofing companies to consider there is one that you need to be wary of. This is due to the fact that there are some who aim not to provide you with quality but to get money from you instead. These contractors often look for the elderly, single mothers and even those that require emergency repairs due to damage caused by natural calamities. They will offer your for sale metal roofing that is over the price, and they will insist that you need to buy new ones. These unscrupulous people can easily be avoided if you know what to look for. For those who wish to avoid being cheated out of the repairs, there are some things that you need to know. All that you have to do is to just continue reading.
How to Detect Fake Metal Roofing Contractors
According to metal roofing contractors reviews, there are many signs that you can look for to determine whether they are conning you. For starters, make sure that you read the fine print whenever they hand you anything to sign. There are some people who simply sign forms without thoroughly reading what is written on it which caused them some serious problems later on. Take for example the case of a woman in Texas who found herself being sued for breach of contract by some workers. What happened was that the woman signed the form without knowing that it was already a contract. She hired other oneto do the work but found herself being accused of breach of contract. Fortunately for her there was a witness who said that when the woman asked whether the form she was signing was a contract, the contractor she was in touch with said it wasn't.
Another way for you to weed out fake one is to avoid hiring the first one to knock on your door after a storm has passed and many systems have been damaged. These are usually the ones who will be lowering their prices immediately or offer bulk prices for their work and the materials that they are offering for sale. Whether you are battling with a leaky roof or you need a new system, make sure that you get several estimates before hiring one.
Metal Roofing Contractors – Framing Cost and Other Factors to Consider
You don't really need to be suspicious of all of them. There are some who are really doing their job when it comes to repairs and replacements. You just need to do some research on your end on whether the contractor you plan on hiring has a reputable background and good repair and replacement skills too.
There are many aspects to jobs that you need to know if you want to weed out suspicious ones from those who are reliable. You can start with knowing the different types of roofs for houses and what possible problems may occur with them. If your roof needs new frames to support the entire roof, you should look for frame cost in the estimates offered by several ones. This way, you can compare prices to see which one you think will work well with your budget and will give you good value for your money as well. Don't forget to inquire about roof coatings as well because these coatings can add protection to your roof.
When looking for one make sure that you keep the following tips in mind.
- Get several quotes from different contractors.
- Do not sign any documents unless you have decided to get your system fixed.
- Make it a point to get your hands on the company's insurance policies and license.
- Be wary of them that go door-to-door.
- Be cautious when dealing with the ones that offer their services in claiming your insurance.
With these things in mind, you can easily avoid ones that appear to be suspicious in your eyes. Since you will be having it repaired, see to it that you spare time to do research and reviews on metal roofing contractors before you hire them. This way, there won't be any fraudulent ones taking advantage of you.

WOW. Have you seen this? Filmmaker and writer Terry Jones discovered a colony of penguins which are unlike any other penguins in the world.
Ostensibly filmed for a documentary, the video shows a colony of Adélie penguins suddenly taking to the skies as the astonished presenter, Terry Jones, looks on. The TV spot was filmed on King George's Island, 1,000 kilometers south of the Falklands.
These "miracle penguins" also made it to the cover of The Daily Mirror, which quoted the filmmaker, Prof. Alid Loyas, saying: "We could hardly believe our eyes. It was amazing."
Later they provided this video.
Gotcha! April Fools! 🙂

Even though you've definitely currently become aware of the various benefits which baking soda can offer you, lots of are still puzzled by its wondrous health advantages. Simply puts, its usage goes far beyond the kitchen area or bathroom.
It's most important function by far is exactly what advantages it offers your body. And there is certainly no lack of those.
How Does One Define It?
Baking soda's official name is sodium bicarbonate. This is also the substance you can thank for helping your dough rise. It is also helpful in other cooking aspects such as helping enhance certain types of food.
This strategy of baking bread with the help of baking soda is a centuries old tradition.
Baking soda likewise passes another name: nahcolite. This is a derivative of a mineral called natron.
Did you understand that the Ancient Egyptians used natron to clean their homes? Even they were aware of baking soda's effectiveness!
Flash forward from ancient times to the year 1846, when John Dwight and Dr. Austin Church created the baking soda we all know and use to this extremely day!
Still, it wasn't till the 20th century (1920 to be more accurate) that baking soda started being used for medicinal purposes. We will be concentrating on those this time around. Here are 11 uses of baking soda for naturally enhancing your health.
The best part about it is that it is considerably more affordable than lots of other medications, natural or otherwise, and has even been utilized in cosmetics! Here are the many uses for it, besides treating accidents and injuries. We shall now begin the countdown.
1. A Natural Antiperspirant
The deodorants you are utilized to purchasing in supermarkets and stores contain unhealthy chemicals such as aluminum and parabens. You can quickly prevent such heavy substances by opting for baking soda instead.
Nothing is simpler than merely brushing sodium bicarbonate on your feet, underarms or any other troublesome area you might have for getting rid of the sweat or any unpleasant odor.
2. Toxin Ivy and Pest Bites
A simple mix of baking soda and some water makes an excellent paste which efficiently lowers any itching caused by insect bites. All you need to do is apply this homemade paste on the afflicted location.
Other than itches, it is likewise beneficial for calming and naturally treating rashes brought on by poison ivy– or other comparable dangerous plants.
3. Ulcer Pain, Heartburn and Indigestion
Sodium bicarbonate is # 1 when it pertains to dealing with heartburn, stomach acid, ulcer pain and indigestion.
What you have to do is mix half a teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water. Consume this healthy mix every 2 hours, but in case you are over 60, this may be too big of a dosage for you, so tone it down a bit.
4. Exfoliator and Foot Soak
We currently discussed you need to use some sodium bicarbonate on your feet to obtain rid of any foul smells, but that is not the only use they can take advantage of. Just blend 3 tablespoons of baking soda with some warm water and soak your feet in the option.
Another approach you can attempt that is just as reliable is making a paste and rubbing it straight on your feet. Whichever works best for you. Using the 2nd one as a foot scrub offers you all the advantages without any adverse effects, so don't be reluctant to offer it a shot.
It cleanses your skin like a beauty.
5. Unwinding Soak
While we're on the topic of soaking, why not soak the entire body? In fact, mixing apple cider vinegar with baking soda is an exceptional method for attaining a natural bath 'salt' which cleans up, eases and nourishes your skin!
Anybody can benefit from this, especially those who experience skin allergic reactions and have problems with hives.
And surprise-surprise, you can leave this option for a bit in the tub after you have actually gone out. That way, you're efficiently cleaning your tub too!
6. Cleaning Your Hands
It can even be a Do It Yourself natural soap. Just integrate one part of water with three parts baking soda and then utilize it to clean your hands of any dirt or unwanted smells.
7. Get rid of Splinters
That's right. This is something sodium bicarbonate is also great for. Exactly what you have to do is add 1 tablespoon of baking soda in a little glass filled with water. Use this mix on the afflicted area two times a day. It will only take a couple of days for the splinters to naturally come off.
You won't need to be troubled with doing painful 'house surgery' (which might only cause further complications) ever again!
8. Sunburn Treatment
And we all understand how uncomfortable that can be. Here's a great homemade service for it. Add half a cup of baking soda in lukewarm water. Then pour this mixture into a bath tub and depend on the tub to soothe any heavy-degree sunburns.
Or, if soaking is not your thing for some factor, you can always use this other technique. Dip a fabric or towel in the exact same mix and straight apply it to the afflicted location.
9. Increase Your Sports Efficiency
Did you understand that a multitude of expert athletes use baking soda pills to enhance their performances? They are a well-known energy booster, after all. Still, if you wish to try this, much better do some proper research study first.

Sodium bicarbonate, although exceptionally healthy, is a rather abrasive compound which, if taken in big amounts and frequently, can harm your oral health instead of enhancing it.
However do not get scared, all you have to be bewares, and it's finest not to brush your teeth with it more than when on a weekly basis. It's exceptional for eliminating plaque and eliminating all kinds of unhealthy oral germs, much more than any other tooth paste purchased in any supermarket.
All you do is mix one part salt with 6 parts baking soda. Put them in a mixer for 30 seconds and then fill a tube with them. You do not even require a brush, merely use a (well-cleaned) index finger to massage your gums with them for a short while.
Then wait about 15 minutes for the paste to do its magic prior to thoroughly washing your mouth. Once again, just make sure not to overdo it!
11. Bleaches Your Teeth Too
Yup. So, aside from the advantages we pointed out above it likewise provides your pearly whites an even 'pearlier' look. What you require for this is to integrate a ripe strawberry with half a teaspoon of baking soda.
Apply directly on your teeth and let it sit for about 5 minutes prior to once again rinsing completely. In order to avoid hurting the enamel of your teeth, as soon as a week is ample.
However Wait, There's More!
Here's an enjoyable truth which you may or might not have actually known: the baking soda has been used to clean the Statue of Liberty back throughout its remediation in 1986! So definitely it is good enough for use in your kitchen, for all type of dirty surface areas!
A mix of baking soda and apple cider vinegar is the ideal chemical-free cleaning agent for your restroom as well! Then there's cleaning up the grill, or any toys if you have children. You can even sprinkle it on carpets before doing your routine vacuuming for better outcomes.
Simply make sure to let it sit for about 15 minutes. Even your flatware and cutlery can regain their natural shine and sparkle by utilizing baking soda to clean them. The possibilities are almost limitless.
So make your life a bit (or a great deal!) simpler by always keeping some sodium bicarbonate around. After all, you never ever know when you're going to need some– whether for your house or yourself!

We all know the meaning of Dictionary in general terms, Dictionary is a collection of words arranged alphabetically and each word has its own meaning. In C# the concept of Dictionary is almost same let's read what is a dictionary and how we can play with code.
The Dictionary class in C# represents a generic data structure that can contain keys and values of data. Hence, you can store data of any type in an Instance of Dictionary. The Dictionary class is contained inside the System.Collections.Generic namespace. It Initializes a new instance of the System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary class that is empty, has the default initial capacity and uses the default equality in order to compare for the key type. In essence, a Dictionary<TKey, TValue> contains a generic collection of key/value pairs. You can use Add method of the Dictionary class to store objects in a Dictionary instance. Let's learn about Dictionary with examples.
Initializing a Dictionary with a Collection Initializer
To initialize a Dictionary<TKey,TValue>, or any collection whose Add method takes multiple parameters, enclose each set of parameters in braces as shown in the following example.
[su_box title="Make a Dictionary<string, T> with CaseInsensivitve keys" box_color="#faf62b" title_color="#151111″]var dictMonth= new Dictionary<string,T>(StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase) [/su_box]
Adding to a Dictionary
Retrieving a value from a dictionary
Reading a value or entire list from a dictionary is never been a big task, we can read it with different ways. either we iterate and display all records or get a single record.
You may want to read the value for the entry with key 1. If the key doesn't exist getting a value, It will throw KeyNotFoundException, so you may want to first check for that with ContainsKey. This has one disadvantage: you will search through your dictionary twice (once to check for existence and one to read the value). For a large dictionary this can impact performance. Fortunately both operations can be performed together.
Convert IEnumerable to Dictionary
There can be a situation where you need to convert LINQ result or IEnumerable<> object into Dictionary object. This is possible with the help of the LINQ Extension methods.
Example :
In this example, we convert One LINQ's IEnumerable<> result into Dictionary object. We are taking Month list object and then querying that object using LINQ and then we converted it's LINQ result into Dictionary object.
What Next ?
In the next article, we will learn about ConcurrentDictionary in C#. Till then Keep learning and sharing. Happy Coding 🙂

"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," declares the LORD."
~Isaiah 55:8~
~Isaiah 55:8~
This picture says a thousand words...really. This is a picture of Aaron and I singing at Mission Road Bible Church in Kansas. Yes, I did say Kansas. Most of you know this, but it is about time I finally share with the blogger world that the Johnsons are moving! Yup! That's right. And to a place we like to joke is "the middle of nowhere." :) a.k.a...Kansas!
I never in my wildest, or not so wild, dreams, would have seen this one coming. In fact, I have always informed the Lord that I never want to live in the Midwest because it is equidistant from both oceans, which to me once again means, "the middle of nowhere." Haha...how I laugh at myself. Apparently the Lord knows better than me when it comes to my human desires. But you know what else...He CHANGES human desires.
Ok...let's rewind a bit.
Aaron and I found out early on in the summer that due to budgetary reasons (mainly), he was probably going to be let go from Placerita Baptist Church. This was then confirmed in August. I won't go into all the details, but our world was turned upside down for a while. We were quite surprised, and lets just say that the sponge (our lives) was being squeezed, and the water that came out wasn't always so pretty. But to sum it all up, we are so thankful for that squeeze. The Lord showed us sin, mainly pride, that we didn't know was there. He showed us that although we thought we were loving people, that love was not exactly Christ-like, which remains unchanging through ALL circumstances!
I can say that this summer until now has been precious, because our relationship with our heavenly Father has been so much more intimate. During the time of wondering where we would go from here and what job the Lord would provide, our need for dependance on the Lord was made so real. I wish I could say that this dependance is always there, even when the practical blessing abound, but it's so easy to get caught up in self-dependance. One of my prayers through this is that we would ALWAYS see that we need Christ for everything, and that we are nothing without Him. Not only is He the ultimate provider of our monetary needs, but more importantly, He is the essential provider of our spiritual needs. And we are certainly spiritually needy people! ALWAYS!
So that is just the tip of the iceberg in lessons we are learning, but since I do not have time to write a book, let me share with you how events have unfolded since this summer. As soon as it was announced to the church body about Aaron being let go, He posted on facebook that he was looking for a new job, preferably in church ministry. Not even 24 hours later and he was on the phone with Rick Holland, who is the senior pastor at MRBC in Kansas City, Kansas. After many phone calls, a visit by the associate pastor from MRBC to PBC, and a trip that we made to visit MRBC, the Lord made it so very clear that this is where he wants us to go. We are absolutely amazed at God's grace....ABSOLUTELY!
There were fears about looking at churches, because in the beginning, Aaron was applying at churches we knew nothing about. So I started praying in the summer, "Lord, please provide a church through connections, so that we can somewhat feel like we would know the senior pastor through reputation." I NEVER in my wildest dreams thought that the Lord would have Aaron work alongside a man we have heard preach quite a few times, and have always grown and been inspired from those times we were able to sit under his teaching (at Grace Community and Resolved conference). Haha...I even remember listening to Rick and Kim's (his wife) tape series on dating when I was about 16.
About my desires...well, to be honest, when I first found out where MRBC was located, I cried. But seeing Aaron's excitement and how the Lord answered my prayer above and beyond, I haven't once looked back. And the picture above reminds me of the wonderful time we had getting to know just a portion of the people at MRBC. I can honestly say that I am completely excited to move to the middle of nowhere! :) Don't get me wrong...just the past couple of days, as Aaron is about to head into his last official week of work at PBC, the realization of all the goodbyes that will be coming in the days ahead causes my lips to quiver and my eyes to water. The goodbyes are going to be hard. Very hard. But I know the Lord will give us grace for that as well. He promises that His grace will always be sufficient, and therefore we have nothing to fear.
Aaron will be done working soon, but we are taken care of financially through the end of January, and then he will begin in Kansas the first week of February. We do not have a set date yet for moving, but we know it will be towards the end of January. If you could pray with us as we have a bit to do in order to prepare our current home to be rented out and that the Lord would provide good renters for our place. If you know of anyone who may be interested, be sure to let us know! :)
Now I just need to find me some red shoes and hit the ol' yellow brick road!

What is Neuro Linguistic Programming
Neuro Linguistic Programming was originated by John Grinder (linguistics) and Richard Bandler (mathematics and gestalt therapy for the purpose of modelling human excellence.
The first books where called The Structure of Magic Vol. 1 & 2 (1975 & 1976) where they explored the language and behavioual patterns of therapists Fritz Perls (gestalt therapy) and Virginia Satir (family therapist).
The next set of books examined the verbal and behaviouial patterns of Milton Erickson (founder of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosisi & acknowledged as one of the most successful psychiatrists of our times) and where called Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H. Erickson, M.D. Vol. 1 & 2 (1975 & 1976).
From this Grinder and Bandler explored the relationship between the brain, language and the body. This model started to grow with the advent of a series of books:
- Frogs Into Princes (Bandler & Grinder, 1979)
- Neuro Linguistic Programming Vol. 1 (Dilts, Grinder, Bandler, DeLozier, 1980)
- Reframing (Bandler & Grinder, 1982)
- Using Your Brain For a Change (Bandler, 1985)
Fundamentally NLP is based upon:
- The Map is not the Territory
- People respond to their own reality
- No individual map of the world is any more real or true than any other
- Life and Mind are Systemic Processes
- Systems are self organizing and seek states of balance
- There are no failures, only feedback
To make changes we need to understand the present map of the world (present state) and add new and appropriate resources to the system, which leads us to the desired state (change).
Neuro Linguistic Programming has been designed to identify and define present states, resources needed which leads to effective and ecological change.
The best way to learn NLP, is to take a live training. You can take advantage of the free 2 days NLP training we offer you.

Just a couple weeks ago, it looked like the controversial ordinance that lets Uber and Lyft drivers unionize was free and clear of its myriad of legal challengers, but now the landmark law is again on hold.
Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Friday afternoon issued an order to block the law until an appeal from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce can be completed. U.S. District Judge Robert Lasnik dismissed the chamber's lawsuit last month, for the second time, but the chamber quickly appealed.
"We believe the Court made the right decision," said Brooke Steger, Uber general manager for the Pacific Northwest said in a statement. "The Court will now have the time to hear from all parties and carefully consider the unique questions raised by the City's ordinance. There is a tremendous amount at stake in this case, namely the rights and livelihoods of thousands of drivers and the fate of a transportation option that many Seattle residents and visitors have come to rely on. We remain confident the Court will find the City overreached in its effort to protect taxi companies and help the Teamsters."
The law, passed in 2015, gives drivers the ability to band together to negotiate pay rates and employment conditions, among other conditions. The law lets organizations that want to represent drivers get contact information from the ride-hailing companies to reach out to drivers and try and drum up support for collective bargaining.
Currently, these drivers are considered independent contractors and are not protected by traditional labor standards — including Seattle's $15 per hour minimum wage law. They also do not have collective bargaining rights covered by the National Labor Relations Act.
The distinction of which drivers get to vote on collective bargaining continues to be the key issue for many opponents of the law. Drivers who signed up with their respective ride-hailing companies after Oct. 17 of last year, three months before the law went into effect in January, do not get a vote. Drivers also need to have made 52 trips starting or ending in Seattle during any three-month period in the year prior to the January onset date.
Ride-hailing companies like Uber and Lyft favor giving every driver a vote, without the type of restrictions in Seattle's rules. In a blog post last month, Lyft said that these rules would disenfranchise approximately 70 percent of its drivers, and for Uber, that number is about half.

ECM: How To Choose The Perfect One?
General trend is that not all companies succeed in dealing with the gigantic amount of data they produce. Hence, they turn up to enterprise content management for solving this problem.
According to a report, the market of Enterprise content management is projected to reach the mark of 59.87 Billion USD by 2020. Yes, the business is booming. And that too, at a really fast rate.
In case you are among those business owners looking for a solution to manage your vast data, choosing an ECM is the best option to go for. But before choosing an ECM, below listed are some important tips to help you select an ideal ECM for your business and achieve all your short and long term goals:
Quick Return On Investment
During the selection process of an Enterprise Content Management System for your organization, try to look for a provider that offers a proven and quick ROI (Return On Investment). Some of the ECM vendors guarantees to achieve ROI in 6-9 months. There are certain ways to identify a good ECM solution based on the implementation of CMS at a fast rate and easy integration with other business apps.
When conducting an evaluation of ECM solutions, try considering both direct savings (for instance, cutting down costs related to resources and hardware) and 'soft dollar' advantages. E.g. by increasing productivity in a certain department, a company can divert valuable resources to other crucial areas of the business to enjoy considerable savings.
Assessment of your Business
It is mandatory to make sure that your ECM vendor conducts a detailed analysis of your business, including goals of the organization, present business requirement, infrastructure assessment and so forth.
User-Friendly Interface
Choosing an ECMS that provides a secure access to all the data in a single browser-based app would be beneficial in the long run. With a spontaneous interface, your employees will be provided with the ability to easily share and organize information/data.
Reduction and Elimination of Manual Administration
Not only an ideal ECM solution help you sync all your processes, paper and data from the start, but it also helps in providing an instant access to information at anytime, anywhere around the world.
It should also provide you a built-in workflow for the effective optimization and automation of business processes. These features will help you save time from processes related to manual paper activities and replace them with more enhanced sharing and collaboration of documents across each department.
Hire A Team with Expertize in the Field
When assessing ECM solutions, try choosing a vendor that works towards ensuring that strategies of deployment and product integrations are planned and sustainable. A professional solutions provide specializes in creating a detailed plan for implementing ECM solution in a clear manner
Make sure you keep in mind all the above factors in mind before you choose an Enterprise Content Management Solution for your business. In case, you still face doubt, you can get in touch with Silicon Valley Web Developers who can give valuable assistance in the perfect implementation of ECM at every step.

How PR Enhances The Power Of The Press
In this opinion piece, David Frost (pictured below) – a former AFR journo and now CEO of PR Deadlines – examines just how valuable public relations agencies are to the media.
As an executive journalist on the Fin Review two decades or so ago, too much of my time was spent trashing PR handouts. Eventually head-hunted by a PR agency that wanted someone who could actually write, it took me a while to reach an equilibrium.
Balancing the needs of clients and journalists is key to the relationship – a concept that is easy to discuss yet often difficult to achieve.
Today's information and communication technology (ICT) writers are more time-poor than ever before. Fewer journos are writing and editing more copy, so we strive to give them what they need – clear, concise and relevant text devoid of adjectives or any hint of marketing hype.
On occasion, we have been known to apologise to media people for issuing releases from a client's overseas HQ, which we are required to pitch unchanged. Who has the time or inclination to read a 200-word intro? In such cases, we email a precis to grab their attention.
Occasionally, we are obliged to ease certain clients carefully into the real world of media expectations. 'So, why isn't the fascinating story about version 2.xyz of our software on national TV?' Well…
All this encompasses the value that good PR can bring to the media. Consider a ghastly alternative world in which PR does not exist! Pre Fin Review, I was press-ganged into becoming business editor of an NZ Sunday paper. New Zealand had about three decent PR agencies at the time, and starting from scratch without contacts, I suffered in an acute information vacuum. What the hell to write!
In contrast, today's media receive an avalanche of material – good, bad and indifferent. PR acts as a filter between client and media, and the best agencies invest expertise and effort in ensuring that writers receive information they actually find useful.
Imagine what life on the news desk would be like without that filter. A constant deluge of calls and emails from managers, marketing, communications and salespeople. A life of ceaseless, remorseless spam and jangling phones!
So, in an ICT industry bursting with innovation and new ideas, being perceived as a reliable source of information is critically important in developing trust. A good agency will apply our principles of short, sharp copy-writing across the entire communications spectrum. Disciplined writing is just as effective for social media, lead generation, advertising, presentations, speeches, and more.
In a world where native advertising is growing, people are switching off online ads by using ad blockers, so content continues to grow in importance. A company's 'brand narrative' simply isn't sufficient. A vendor and its agency need to work expertise and knowledge into all the messaging they produce, which calls for professional writing skills and editorial experience.
Thus, outsourcing to an agency with a deep understanding of the evolving media landscape leaves a company free to focus on what they do best rather than keeping pace with publishing industry.
Good PR will leverage a client's existing information. White papers, product briefs, brochures, blogs, and more offer a wealth of opportunity for sniffing out newsworthy items. In this way, we garner feature material, or thought leadership as it's called these days, that is proving useful to the ICT media.
Thus, PR agencies are helping journalists to delve deeper into the mysteries of emerging technology such as object-defined storage, machine learning, SD-WANs, programmatic marketing, big data, business intelligence, and predictive analytics.

|Sonny Rollins, Jazz Master
Jazz might be the stupidest thing anyone ever came up with. The band starts a song, but then everything falls apart and the musicians just play whatever they want for as long they can stand it. People take turns noodling around, and once they run out of ideas and have to stop, the audience claps. I'm getting angry just thinking about it.
I released fifty-odd albums, wrote hundreds of songs, and played on God knows how many session dates. Some of my recordings are in the Library of Congress. That's idiotic. They ought to burn that building to the ground. I hate music. I wasted my life.
I can see what Gold was trying to do: make Rollins say something so extremely the opposite of what he would say that it would potentially be hilarious. As if I wrote something like, "Ronald Reagan: In His Own Words," and wrote something like:
That whole thing about "Government isn't the solution, it's the problem," was just kind of a joke. Tip O'Neil came up with it one night while we were having dinner at the Old Ebbitt Grill. We had consumed about 2 bottles of vodka between us when he blurted it out, as well as something about "trickle down economics," which was probably more to do with vodka trickling down his shirt. After I gave that silly inaugural address, Republicans took that sound byte and really ran with it. I was just trying to be funny, kind of break the ice a little bit. But everyone was taking it so seriously. I guess I was just too embarrassed to admit that it wasn't true.
Iran-Contra? Of course I knew about it. Truth be told, I went to college with the Ayatolla Khomeini. Back then , he was know as Freddie, Freddie Khomeini. We used to hang out all the time in the late 50's. Now that I think of it, he still owes me 26 dollars. So sure, 1979 rolls around, I called in a favor. Obviously, the Tehran Hostage Crisis makes incumbent president Jimmy Carter look bad, and then, bam, I got to be President for 8 years. Oliver North took the heat, saying I didn't know anything, of course, but in truth I knew every detail. I masterminded the entire thing from day one. This is all off the record, right?
Anyway, whether you think that's funny, or even know who Ronald Reagan was, hopefully you see my point. In my example, it's quite clear that it's a joke, and it references in an attempt to be clever as well as relevant. Perhaps there are a few key differences. One is the person being lampooned. Ronald Reagan is, sadly, way more famous than Sonny Rollins because he was a major political and historical figure, and people who were politically aware during the 80's would possibly get a chuckle from the specific references( trickle down, Khomeini, Oliver North, etc...). The Rollins piece has some nice references, but the tone is perhaps not consistent enough to make sense. It's so on the absurdist side of things.
The saxophone sounds horrible. Like a scared pig. I never learned the names of most of the other instruments, but they all sound awful, too. Drums are O.K., because sometimes they'll drown out the other stuff, but it's all pretty bad.
Now, maybe if this had appeared in The Onion, it would have been fine. I think it's appearance in the New Yorker is just confusing. Maybe also, it's a little bit too close to home because let's face it, the vast majority of people probably think the saxophone sounds horrible. In that sense it would be like a comedian trying to tell Israeli-Palestinian jokes 3 weeks from now: "TOO SOON!" ( Although my piece may perhaps ring a bit to true for some folks as well....)
As to be expected, after this piece was published, Facebook lit up like midtown Manhattan on Christmas Eve. Jazz musicians were angry. Even Sonny Rollins himself chimed in! Spike Wilner, jazz pianist and proprietor of Small's wrote a letter to The New Yorker:
Not only was it not funny but also vague enough to be construed that it was actually "his own words". Mr. Rollins is one of the most beloved figures in jazz, renown for his uncompromising artistic integrity. Why at age 83 after a lifetime dedicated to the music he loves and champions he needs to be the subject of ridicule in your magazine is beyond me. Instead, the New Yorker should publish a profile celebrating the life and accomplishments of this great American artist. Jazz is already a much maligned and misunderstood art form. An article like this does a great disservice to the music and the musicians who spend their lives playing it and is beneath the stature of your magazine.
I believe Wilner hits it right on the nose. Hey, New Yorker, what other beloved elderly figures are next on the list to lampoon? Mother Teresa? Benny Golson? Jasper Johns? Mikhail Gorbachev? Hopefully, no one is missing why this article, while not a crime against humanity, was certainly in poor taste.
As to be expected, Nicholas Payton had an understandably harsh and extremely well written view of the article:
Here's one of the most respected American periodicals posting a picture of a somber-faced Sonny with a piece "in his own words," rhapsodizing about how he hates music and he's wasted his life. Where's the humor in that?
I get that White people and Black people have cultural differences and thus a different sense of humor. Given that to be the case, White people: stick to satirizing those who get your sense of humor. Leave Black people be. You've done enough over the past 500 years. Black life in a world of White oppression and supremacy is satirical enough. We don't need your help adding to it.
And maybe Payton goes off on a tangent a little in this next bit, but it's actually pretty on point:
Meanwhile in Rolling Stone magazine, a real article came out that reads like satire. Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga are doing a "Jazz" album. Tony goes on in this piece to say about Gaga, "She's as good as Ella Fitzgerald…"
Nigga, please?! Lady Gaga ain't fit to wear Ella's dirty draws.
Indeed, if somebody came out and said, " Kenny G's just as good as Charlie Parker," it would be hard not to want to kick their ass. Even if they were elderly. (I think Tony Bennett might be a little foggy on what Ella Fitzgerald actually sounded like...)
Payton's viewpoint brings it all home. Sonny Rollins as an elder statesman of jazz enjoys success which few musicians attain; however, as an African American living through decades of inequality in the United States, Rollins has endured things to which white people just cannot relate. It seems as though the younger generations, becoming farther removed from the Civil Rights Movement, are less aware of the scars of history. Furthermore, the American Idolization of our culture makes people less aware of the origins of American music as well (which is why the top R&B artists these days seem to be all white). To have to hear Tony Bennett say that about Lady Gaga is so outrageous, and yet, it seems as though nonsense is happening all around us and we've all just come to accept it. Big Corporations don't pay any taxes, innocent people die every day, incredibly mediocre actors and musicians become millionaires while ACTUAL TALENT becomes more of a liability than an asset. There's the real joke.
You would think with all of this mishagos, the writing world would get the message: " Hey, jazz musicians find this offensive, and you are just going to piss people off. Find literally anything else to do a satirical piece on. Leave music and musicians whom are fighting for survival out of it." Well, apparently Justin Moyer didn't get the memo; his piece for The Washington Post, "All That Jazz Isn't All That Great" seems at first like trying to jump on some sort of anti- jazz bandwagon:
Jazz is boring.
Jazz is overrated.
Jazz is washed up.
Unlike a poorly received New Yorker piece purportedly written by jazz great Sonny Rollins, this is not satire.
Though Gold's piece elicited an angry response from Rollins and outrage under the Twitter hashtag #rollinstruth, it was, as they say, funny because it was true. Jazz has run out of ideas, and yet it's still getting applause.
I studied jazz while an undergraduate at Wesleyan University and had the privilege of learning from, at varying distances, some of the genre's great performers and teachers, including Anthony Braxton, Pheeroan akLaff and Jay Hoggard. I appreciated that these generous African American men deigned to share their art at a quite white New England liberal-arts school. But I just didn't get their aesthetic. Like cirrus clouds or cotton candy, I found jazz generically pleasing, but insubstantial and hard to grasp.
Moyer goes on to write a laundry list of reasons for why jazz, a kind of music which motivated him to pursue a degree, is so boring. For example:
2. Improvisation isn't all it's cracked up to be.
The knowledge that great music is improvised makes it more remarkable. But the fact that music is improvised doesn't make it great. If it did, Phish and the Grateful Dead would be better than they are.
"Even when they are not soloing, members of a jazz band have to be intimately attuned to the music at all times because they never know what direction it might take," according to Loren Schoenberg, a conductor and saxophonist writing in conjunction with the Ken Burns documentary "Jazz." "If you don't, you may, as John Coltrane once put it, feel as though you stepped into an empty elevator shaft."
Unfortunately, rather than providing the thrill of standing at a precipice, improvisation by the likes of serviceable, forgettable, uncontroversial players such as guitarist Wes Montgomery is perfect for browsing at Barnes and Noble — or piping into elevators.
Unlike the New Yorker piece, there is a clear statement that " this is not satire" within the first few sentences. You could imagine that this would create even more animosity in the jazz community.
Look, we already know, and have known for a long time, that jazz after 1940 is not universally loved. It doesn't mean we shouldn't be true to our own musical aspirations. My feeling is that these days, jazz musicians are doing it because they love it, because they believe it's important, and they love to play for the small but passionate audiences(mostly in Europe and Asia) who know and love this music and don't find it boring. We aren't doing it to get rich. We do it for what one might say are more noble reasons than many other so called "popular" styles. Indeed, so many "hip hop" artists , in a genre which at one time had an incredible political awareness, now mostly rap about how rich they are or how rich they wanna be, or just how great they are. Many of today's music stars seem to be pretty faces that are part of a huge "music industry", and yet calling them "musicians" would seem rather ironic.
I realize we are a capitalist nation, but there is still a difference between being a professional artist on one side and being a sell-out on the other side. Why won't we read articles lampooning Katy Perry, or Kayne West? Why won't we read overly intellectual opinion pieces in The Washington Post about how today's country sucks, or about how today's pop music mostly sounds like a bunch of morons shouting over a car alarm? I really can't say. All I can say is, if you don't like jazz, DON'T LISTEN TO IT! But we are already down. STOP KICKING US!

New Hampshire Child Labor Laws
New Hampshire regulates jobs available to minors via federal and state law in all non-agricultural occupations. The State Department of Labor oversees all legal provisions on the subject. Laws include work permit statutes, age and hour qualifications for underage workers, and employer responsibilities. In addition, New Hampshire prohibits minors from working in hazardous occupations through the regulations of the department. Farming-related jobs remain covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act, or FLSA.
At What Age Can a Minor Work in New Hampshire?
In general, most non-hazardous positions in New Hampshire become accessible to individuals at the age of 16. Limited work opportunities exist for children 14 and 15 years of age, as well. Once 18, all jobs largely stand available for work. However, teens under 19 years of age, including eighteen year olds, must file proof of age with employers. Acceptable documentation to verify age includes birth certificates, passports, religious certificates, or immigration records.
Youth Employment Certificates
Within no more than three days of hire, children under 16 need to obtain a certificate for work. School superintendents, guidance departments, and principals in the district the child attends may issue permits when appropriate qualifications stand fulfilled. The employer and prospective employee each fill out corresponding sections of the request form and return the completed application to the local school offices. The document must also carry signatures from the minor, issuing official, employer, and a parent or guardian of the child. Though individuals sixteen and seventeen years of age do not need a work permit, employers of said teens must still maintain written permission from a parent or guardian of the youth, except if the minor already possesses a high school diploma or the equivalent.
Employer Accountability
In addition to aiding minors with the work permit process, employers in the Granite State bear other responsibilities related to child labor. The employment certificate stays on record during the tenure of underage labor. Proof of age must also remain on file for all individuals 18 and under. Business owners need to provide individuals with work schedules to ensure school hours do not conflict. Minor work schedules, including meal times and hour limits, must remain posted in noticeable locations in the workplace. If an employer fails to uphold regulations regarding permits, hours, work conditions, age limits, or hazardous duties, the State Department of Labor may impose monetary penalties of up to $10,000 per violation.
Time and Hour Constraints
Hours for Minors 15 and Under
Restrictions on work hours vary depending on whether jobs stand subject to both federal and state laws or only state regulations. School days allow minors only three hours of labor, while non-school days provide for eight hours. Minors may not work between 9:00pm and 7:00am. Between Labor Day and June 1st, the evening restriction limits underage workers to 7:00pm for occupations under federal jurisdiction. Work during school hours also stands forbidden, except in cases of approved work experience programs. In addition, work under federal law must consist of no more than 18 hours during an academic week or 40 hours otherwise. Jobs subject only to state laws extend potential work hours during school weeks to 23 and labor times during non-academic weeks to a maximum of 48 hours. The United States Department of Labor determines which occupations fall under which category.
What Hours Can 16 and 17 Year Olds Work in New Hampshire?
Employed individuals 16 and 17 years of age and enrolled in school must abide by certain provisions related to hours for work. In a given school week, minors may work no more than 30 hours. During established vacation from education, the limit extends to 48 hours. Night hours, if applicable, must not total more than eight. Manufacturing shifts must remain less than 10 hours. 10 and one-fourth hours per day stands as the limit for manual and mechanical work. Under no circumstances may teens work for more than six consecutive days.
Rules lessen considerably for minors not enrolled in school. However, some restrictions still apply. Laws for daily hours in manufacturing and work at night remain in place, with the additional stricture of work staying under 48 hours of labor per week. In addition, manual and mechanical jobs must not employ minors for more than 54 hours weekly. Hour statutes apply to the combined total of hours from all vocations in cases of minors working multiple jobs.
Work Restrictions
What Jobs Can a 14 or 15 Year Old Work?
The State of New Hampshire allows gainful employment to become obtainable for minors as young as 14, in many cases. Permitted occupations include:
- Office/Clerical Work
- Bagging/Carrying Goods
- Modeling/Art Work/Advertising
- Errand/Delivery Work on Foot/Bicycle/Public Transport
- Price-Marking
- Non-Meat-Related Kitchen Work
- Dispensing Gas/Oil
- Cashiering
- Cleanup Work
Hazardous Occupations
Under the provisions of the FLSA, several occupations remain unsafe for teenage laborers and thus barred. No individual under the legal age of 18 years old may hold gainful employment in any job deemed hazardous by federal or state governments. Regulations exist to safeguard the health and well-being of children. Minors stand excluded from the possibility of work in the fields of:
- Explosives
- Motor Vehicles
- Mining
- Work with Power-driven Machinery
- Logging/Sawmilling
- Radioactive Substances
- Manufacturing of Brick/Tile
- Slaughtering/Meat Packing
- Demolition/Wrecking/Ship-Breaking
- Roofing
- Excavation
Restricted Jobs for Minors Under 16
In addition to occupations restricted for all minors, the State of New Hampshire further prohibits jobs for 15 year olds and under. Positions requiring adult responsibilities or injurious conditions generally stand off limits. The following list outlines barred positions for children:
- Work in Manufacturing
- Communications/Publics Utilities
- Processing Jobs
- Warehouse/Storage Work
- Construction
- Work in Boiler/Engine Rooms
- Cooking/Baking
- Work in Freezers/Meat Coolers
- Loading/Unloading Rail or Conveyor Goods
Agricultural Occupations
The FLSA establishes federal provisions for agricultural child labor, applicable particularly in states with no explicit agricultural teen work laws on file at the state level. 14 year olds may hold any non-hazardous job in the field, provided the work does not take place during school hours. Individuals 12 and 13 years of age need parental consent or supervision to work, and children 11 and under may only work with parental permission on a farm exempt from minimum wage requirements. Generally, work permit and hours restrictions, other than provisions outlawing work during school hours, do not apply to agricultural work in New Hampshire. Prohibited jobs in agriculture include work with animals used for breeding, driving a tractor over 20 horsepower, operating farm machinery, and working in fruit or grain silos. At 16 years of age, minors may legally perform, at any time, any duty or occupation related to farming.source: New Hampshire minor labor laws

A few days ago, I was scrolling through my Twitter timeline when this caught my eye:
Although many of the points made are helpful, especially for those taking their first steps into social media, I don't agree with all of them. For example, it's fine to thank people for retweeting you if you have a small number of followers, but if you run a larger account with thousands of followers you'll never keep up. One of the accounts I manage has over 69,000 followers – thanking people for every retweet would be impractical.
So I decided to put together a few Twitter tips based on my experience, along with a few links to useful resources.
Have a content plan
It's useful to start with a plan of subjects you're going to tweet about. If you blog about barbecue recipes, then schedule a tweet at least once a day linking back to your website to drive traffic. If you also blog about barbecue equipment, then schedule a daily tweet about that too. This ensures that you're regularly promoting your content and establishing yourself as a barbecue expert.
Be a useful resource
Don't constantly just tweet links to your own material though as your followers will get bored – if you find interesting articles online then share them with your audience (who you know are already interested in your subject). Follow people with similar interests and retweet links that they've shared.
Don't be a robot
As the infographic suggests, it's good to keep a professional tone to your tweets, but if you follow this too rigidly you can end up sounding robotic and impersonal. The whole point of Twitter is that it's meant to be social, and it's a great opportunity to create a persona. Decide what your voice is going to be – friendly, sarcastic, educational – and stick to it. The best Twitter accounts are the ones which have created a distinct identity – @fleetstreetfox is a good example, and so is @innocentdrinks which has an incredible number of followers (182,000 at the time of writing).
Talk to people
Ask questions, reply to tweets and have conversations. If you want a conversation you're having with someone to be visible to all of your followers, then just put a full stop in front of their Twitter handle.
Timing is everything
Twitter has peak times when your tweets will be seen by a greater number of people. The best time to tweet is 1pm-3pm, so make sure you tweet at that time every day. However, you can still put a bit of thought into what you tweet and when. Think about what your followers will be doing at a given time – they might check Twitter first thing in the morning, during their coffee break, while they eat their lunch, mid afternoon when they stop for a cup of tea, or when they get home from work. Will they be planning their dinner? Will they be thinking about what to cook over the weekend? These are all things to consider.
Don't go over the top with hashtags and mentions
Try not to clutter your tweets with hashtags and mentions. One relevant hashtag is usually enough and if possible try to put it at the end of your tweets, as putting it in the middle of the tweet is distracting. Try not to fill your tweets with excessive mentions too if you can avoid it.
That's all I can think of for now – I'll do an update if more tips come to mind. Here's a few useful articles you might want to take a look at:
How to get more retweets – A useful article with statistics on how to increase your retweets.
International social media guidelines for journalists – An interesting insight into the way different organisations view social media.
If a tweet worked once, send it again — and other lessons from The New York Times' social media desk – This is well worth a read, both educational and entertaining.
