10 Ways Government Agencies Can Make Constituents Proud of Their Work
The primary assumption behind this article is that, if you're a government agency or other type of public sector office, the public probably feels some frustration with you. Hey, don't shoot the messenger here; I'm just a marketing guy trying to help, not the cause of your troubles. (Besides, I'm joking around here a bit, so don't take it all too seriously).
In any case, there's no way I can change the things they find frustrating about working with government entities (e.g., taxation, bureaucracy, inconvenience, etc.). But, maybe I can make things at least a little easier. You see, I've made a list of the most essential elements that a governmental web site should have. Let's take a look at the list, and then I'll discuss what's on it and what isn't.
10 Most Important Web Site Elements for Governments and Public Sector Entities
- CMS / site infrastructure / hosting setup
- Responsive design
- Accessibility (e.g., catering to ADA, etc.)
- Proper disclosures and compliance
- Privacy policy and terms of service
- Clear policy and service information
- Contact information
- Google maps / directions
- Search engine on site
- Custom scripted features
To start, a government really needs the best foundation possible. So, a proper IT infrastructure and a Content Management System (CMS) would be a priority. Many governments choose Drupal as the CMS. I actually recommend Joomla! for the CMS, as it also comes with many features that governments would typically leverage, such as the ability to offer different types of administrative access to different personnel within the agency. For many, this is a handy and relevant feature!
Municipalities, for example, may have several departments, each of which may want to update their own materials or area(s) of the site. So, this first bullet is really about the site foundation — the system, the hosting, the whole nine. For governments, let's get this squared away before doing anything else — but take the rest of this list into consideration before taking action.
The next two bullets focus on the user experience. Responsive design essentially means that your web site will work and look good on all types of devices — phones, tablets, desktop computers. While some businesses can ignore responsive design, I think governments should particularly embrace it, as your demographic is everyone in your area.
Accessibility is a related, but distinct feature that I haven't mentioned much on other articles like this one. But, for governments, just as you want to ensure that your site looks good on all devices, you also want to ensure that the site is accessible by all. This means making special provisions for blind and deaf people, for example. Think of these things as ADA accommodations for your web site. The Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) offers some information and guidelines that merit review and implementation. Like any ADA accommodation, this will require additional time and cost, but the benefit is accessibility for all.
The next two bullets are basically the legalese that governments absolutely need. This one's a no-brainer, and actually is pretty easy to get done. Just send an email to your legal eagle stating that you need these disclosures for the site, and I'm sure they'll get back to you in 6 or 9 months with 20 pages of legalese to post. (I'm kidding there… But, seriously, you do need to write up all of the various legal disclosures necessary for a government web site. This is certainly something more important for governments than almost anyone else — if only because, in the context of a government web site, this stuff basically becomes actual public policy.)
Up until now, we haven't even come to the actual content! So, let's get into this. Traditionally, governments are massive administrative systems that manage enormous amounts of paper files. Likewise, the information and records were always stored on paper forms and other miscellaneous paperwork (instructions, policy statements, etc.).
But, I like to imagine that all governments will go fully electronic at some point. So, I like to think of the web versions of various policies, instructions, and forms as the official versions. A web site is a super way to organize and keep all documents up to date. So, I see clear, on-point content as absolutely critical for government sites. A well-organized web site is in fact an important part of a government's transformation from old paperwork to new data-focused information management.
All that is well and good, but if it's not clearly written, well-organized, easily searchable, and intuitive, the public isn't going to like it. Don't feel bad if this takes a while to accomplish. Heck, just look at the Obamacare web site. They spent hundreds of millions of dollars on it, and it didn't even work when they launched it! (By the way, a lot of people ask me about the Obamacare web site — what went wrong, how complicated it really is, etc. I'll save that for another article, perhaps.)
Contact information is crucial for a governmental sites. Taxpayers want to see this; it gives them some assurance that someone is there if the site doesn't answer their question. Likewise, they appreciate directions to your office location — and if you can offer tips on parking without costing them a fortune, they'll like that, too. When you think about it, a major challenge for governments is humanizing the whole government / taxpayer interaction as much as possible.
The final item on my list was custom-scripted features — automating processes to the extent technologically possible, and integrating the web site with user data to the extent possible. One basic example would be form submissions — especially those that do not require payments (for example bid submissions). Getting a little more advanced, you could pull data from taxpayer records for display on the site, offer password-protected access to taxpayers to provide / edit information and access services, and even take payments online. Some of these things can become a little complex, but most governments have the data more or less in place for this. It's usually just a matter of doing the custom scripting necessary to make online services available in a secure and useful way.
Finally, while all of the above are important for governments, and some may be quite complex, it may be somewhat of a relief for such sites to not have to worry about other common web concerns as much as other web sites. For example, social media integration isn't as important for governments. Nor is SEO, advertising, microformat markup, online reviews, etc. In fact, good arguments can be made against expanding into these areas for public sector entities. I'll leave such concerns for the reader to ponder.
Good luck with your governmental web site! I hope the above serves as a fine starting point, and I welcome questions / comments anytime.

"If Armenians are to be great then they have to pray," says Father Gabriel Sargsyan. "As long as there is one Armenian left, there will be a church." Perhaps, but only a handful of the 50 or so Armenians left in Khartoum have turned up for mass held in the evening, because Sunday is a working day in the capital of predominantly Muslim Sudan. After the service, the small group sits on the porch of the St. Gregory Armenian Church, sipping sugary coffee and remembering the days when the pews used to be full.
Despite the Khartoum government having 'Islamized' the north of the country through the imposition of Shari'a law, there is no sense of religious persecution here at St. Gregory's. Leaders of the Armenian and the neighboring Ethiopian Orthodox churches say they feel safe in Khartoum, and that the persecution of Catholics and Protestants from southern Sudan is a product of the country's north-south power struggle the small Orthodox Christian communities pose no threat to the predominantly Muslim government. "We respect the law of the land and stay out of trouble," says Eyasu Tadele, an official of Khartoum's Ethiopian Orthodox Church. (See pictures of Darfur.)
The Ethiopian Church, in fact, fares somewhat better than its Armenian neighbor, attracting a flood of worshippers every Sunday. That may be a product of shifting patterns of immigration. Many Armenians came to Sudan as refugees from the mass murder in Turkey that began in 1915, while a second wave of immigrants arrived in the 1950s, seeking opportunities in the newly independent country. St. Gregory's opened its doors in 1957, and at its peak, the congregation was 2,000 strong. But many have since left in search of opportunity in Europe and North America, while the Ethiopian expatriate community in Sudan has steadily grown. "First they were coming because of the political crisis and now because of economic reasons," says Tadele.
As much as he appreciates the company of his Christian neighbors, Father Gabriel is concerned that several Armenians have married Ethiopian Christians and Copts, producing children who are taught Arabic or Amharic rather than Armenian. "When one person stops speaking Armenian, our Diaspora is lost," he says. That's why he's working hard to resuscitate the old church school to teach the Armenian language, although with wealthier members of the community having emigrated, he struggles to find the necessary funds. More families are contemplating leaving for fear of a new season of instability as fallout from the international arrest warrant accusing President Omar al-Bashir of war crimes in Darfur. Only a few children remain at the school, but Father Gabriel would be happy to teach even just one student. "Armenia lives through our language," he says.
One Sudanese Armenian who claims he will never leave is Jeriar Homer Charles Bozadjian, whose family history in Sudan dates back 100 years. Bozadjian runs a restaurant called Big Bite in Khartoum. "I have never seen Armenia," he says. "Sudan is my home."
Despite the imposition of Shari'a law, "This is not like Saudi Arabia," says Wafaa Babikier, who studies Management at Ahfad University for Women in Omdurman city. "Girls have the freedom to do everything." Not everyone answers the call to prayer; women drive cars and attend co-ed universities; and they outnumber men in many offices and educational institutions. Others, like Alfred Taban, editor of the Khartoum Monitor, demur, warning that behind the facade of tolerance is a more hard-core Islamist outlook. "A foreigner would not notice," he says. Taban claims to have been whipped for drinking alcohol in a traditional toast at the birth of a relative's son.
But Bozadjian aggressively defends his homeland's plurality. "Sudan is a unique country," he says. "Muslims helped to build this church." But others note that many Armenians left Sudan after their properties were confiscated under the radical regime of President Jaafar Nimeiri during the 1970s. Elizabeth Jinjinian, a 70-year-old businesswoman, recalls how the land of the Armenian club was taken away when the community began to shrink, "We used to have many balls, picnics and parties."
Often tempted to join her sons in London or New York, Jinjinian has stayed on to run her small cosmetics business, which has survived years of war and sanctions. "Exports and imports dried up," she says. "We had to get goods into the country in suitcases."
Despite the resilience of many of the community's veterans, the efforts of Father Gabriel to sustain his culture in this corner of the Armenian Diaspora face mounting odds. Indeed, the priest himself is slated to leave soon, because the community no longer has the funds to support him. He hopes someone in the community will step forward to run his school. "If you have a school, your nation is going on," he says.
The collective memory of the horrors of 1915 may be the most powerful factor in sustaining the community's identity. On the dusty church verandah, Jinjinian animatedly narrates the tale of her mother's escape from Turkey after her grandparents were killed. "She was at the dressmakers so she was saved." Her tale is well known to the congregants, but everyone listens respectfully as a warm breeze ushers in another hot summer.

When the Asian Beetle arrived in the US (Chicago) as a result of infected wood pallets, the US then regulated that all imported wood pallets be certified as fumigated (Docket # RSPA-02-032-3). If shipments arrive uncertified, the shipper is billed for fumigation at the arrival port (usually about $200.00 and several days delay). In response, China, Brazil and other countries began requiring that containers coming from the US have their pallets certified. These countries tried to protect themselves from the Nemotid, an American beetle. Today, all counties have instituted this requirement but in September 2004, the pallet regulation was expanded to include all wood inside a container including wood used for blocking and bracing. Failure to comply will mean that when arriving at a foreign port, a container will be fumigated (for a fee) and probably delayed. Therefore, be aware that when preparing an export shipment, if the contents are wood, on wooden pallets, or has wood bracing, you MUST provide certification that the wood used has been fumigated or HT Treated. The wood should also have a regulated marking indicating that it has been fumigated.

DOT Creates A Pipeline Safety Administration
The Senate has passed a previously passed House Bill creating a new Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration which shall be an administration in the Department of Transportation. President Bush has signed into law H.R. 5163, the Norman Y. Mineta Research and Special Programs Improvement Act. Pub. L. No. 108- 426. The new law establishes a new research agency within the U.S. Department of Transportation and transfers the hazardous materials transportation regulatory function to a new regulatory agency within DOT. This transfer of hazardous materials regulatory authority does not involve any substantive changes to the Hazardous Material Regulations. In carrying out its duties, the Administration shall consider the assignment and maintenance of safety as the highest priority.
Stainless Wine Drums Overcoming Oak Barrels
As a manufacturer of stainless cylindrical containers, Skolnik's line of Stainless Wine Drums is becoming the mainstay of domestic and international wine producers. Recent changes in the California wine industry have moved many wineries to use wooden barrel alternatives such as stainless drums with oak staves to achieve their desired taste profile. Visit the Skolnik web site (www.skolnik.com) to view the available configurations for our wine products.
New Hazmat Web Site Offers Regulatory Explanations
The US government estimates that some 800,000 hazmat shipments are made daily, with 40,000 of those being moved by air. Finding sources to assist with regulatory compliance is easier said than done and a new hazardous materials referencing website has been created for shippers of dangerous goods in the US. Hazmatlaw is a public service of the Cramer Law Group, a Washington, DC based law firm specializing in hazardous material and dangerous goods transportation. This website is not a substitute for the regulations issued by the U.S. Department of transportation, regulations from other countries, the various international dangerous goods transportation standards, or requisite hazmat employee training but the site has a dedicated section for regulatory developments, classification and packaging group information as well as notification of regulatory exemptions and government enforcement procedures. Check out the website at: www.hazmatlaw.com.

People become vegetarians for many different reasons, and there are several different types of vegetarians. Although weight training has traditionally been associated with a high-protein, meat-centred diet, an increasing number of weightlifters and bodybuilders have adopted vegetarianism in one form or another, as it can provide them with all the nutrients they need without the risk of the unhealthy side effects associated with eating large amounts of meat.
The most common type is lacto-ovo vegetarians, who eat eggs and dairy products as well as vegetables, fruit, grains, nuts, legumes, kelp, and other members of the vegetable kingdom. Pesco vegetarians also eat fish and seafood. Vegans eat nothing derived from any member of the animal kingdom, including honey. Other, smaller subtypes also exist. Obviously, the nutrition that athletes can receive from each of these diets is different, so the supplements they should use – and the supplements their diets permit – differ.
This is particularly obvious in regard to protein. Such plant products as soy, whole-grain rice, yellow peas, and buckwheat provide nutritionally complete proteins, and many other plant-sourced foods do so in combination. Vegan muscle builders do, however, need to eat more of such foods to consume an adequate [i]quantity[/i] of protein, and are likely to need such supplements as soy, rice, or pea protein products. Lacto-ovo vegetarians also can get protein from eggs and dairy products, and can take whey protein supplements if they're not allergic to milk. Pesco vegetarians, of course, can eat the highest-quality protein available. Mussels build muscles.
Vegetarian diets also tend to include less-than-optimal amounts of creatine, an amino acid that helps to provide muscles with energy. The body produces creatine in insufficient amounts for weight training, and meat from vertebrates is its only dietary source. Both lacto-ovo vegetarians and vegan athletes therefore need to take a creatine supplement, and pesco vegetarians should also consider taking one despite the presence of creatine in fish. Vegan muscle-builders also need to take such branch-chain amino acid supplements as leucine, which is necessary for stimulating the synthesis of muscle protein.
All types of vegetarian diets, furthermore, are likely to provide insufficient amounts of zinc, iron, calcium, and some vitamins, although dairy products do provide sufficient B-12, so vegetarian muscle-builders also need to take a properly constituted multivitamin and mineral supplement daily, and vegans need a B-12 supplement.
Whatever type of vegetarianism muscle-builders follow, wise ones will consult with a qualified nutritionist to develop their personal optimum diet, which supplements they should use, and the quantity of those supplements.

What you body knowsThursday, June 12th, 2008
A wonderful cranial osteopath by the name of Emma Westlake recently said to me ' Your body knows what to do'. This should be the mntra of every pregnant woman. 'My body knows what to do'. Because it does. Even though our entire birth system- be it antenatal care, birth preparation classes or our cultural obsession with horror stories- suggests otherwise.
As much as we choose to focus on the rare abnormalities and the potential but unlikely risks, the truth is our bodies and instincts are extraordinary. When the natural process is left undisturbed, when a woman is left to be her own physical and mental master, then the vast majority will birth without help or complication. There are 6.5 billion people on the planet- most of whom have been born without access to modern medecine- proving the point that we are pretty good at this birth thing.
Whilst medical advance has ade up for where nature has lacked, the truth is a lot of the problems that have afflicted child- bearing in the past have been man-made- based on a lack of hygiene or nutrition and on the insistence on interfering.
We should be grateful for when doctors save us or our babies- of course we should- and as the grateful recipient of an emergency caesarean I do not make such a comment lightly. But intervention very often happens unnecessarily, or as a result of previous intervention and it is this that leads to a mistaken belief in the incompetence of nature. We have, sadly, made birth more abnormal than it needs to be, ensuring that both woemn do not believe in themselevs or their bodies any longer. Yet women have given birth in comas. You body knows what to do.

The Shake: Cannabis Cup Moves to Pueblo, Boston Globe Discovers DenverBruce BarcottFebruary 23, 2016
Goodbye Denver, hello Pueblo! With Adams County shutting the 4/20 Cannabis Cup out of Denver, organizers of the annual bacchanal have booked a venue 120 miles south in Pueblo. It looks like the owners of The Yard, an outdoor music venue, have accepted the Cup for an April 16-20 run. It's an appropriate spot, given Pueblo's recent cannabis growing boom, but it's unclear how Cup-goers will take to the sleepy steel town. Downside: Book your room now, because hotels are limited. Upside: There's a Domino's, a Chinese restaurant, a grocery store, a Loaf 'N Jug, and a Mexican restaurant all within walking distance of The Yard. Which means munchies-hungry patrons may have a better chance of actually getting fed. Not that we're bitter, Burger King That Ran Out of Burgers During the 2014 Cup.
The free agent market opens up. More football players are being cut following off-season run-ins involving cannabis. University of Kentucky coach Mark Stoops dismissed linebacker Jason Hatcher for a "violation of team rules." Hatcher was pulled over for speeding on Monday morning; cops found nearly a pound of cannabis in his car and charged him with trafficking. Meanwhile, at the pro level, the Indianapolis Colts waived linebacker Jonathan Newsome four days after a marijuana arrest that began with a noise complaint from the neighbors. Look for Newsome to turn up in camp with the Broncos or Seahawks later this summer.
Utah OK with edibles, won't touch the leaf. Utah's medical marijuana bill made surprising progress in the state Senate on Monday after its sponsors allowed extracts but banned the use of whole-leaf cannabis. Banning the leaf seemed the placate Mormon church leaders, who said the amendments were "a substantial improvement." The church had earlier opposed the bill, which pretty much doomed it. Now it's got a chance.
Wyoming, meanwhile, panics over edibles. Dick Cheney's home state already owns some of the nation's most draconian cannabis laws. But they want more. Last year a local judge dismissed charges against a man found with cannabis candies in his car, ruling that state law prohibited only marijuana in leaf form. So outlawing gummies jumped to the top of the state's to-do list. Shockingly, one brave senator rose to voice second thoughts about imprisoning candy holders. "It is a new world out there, and we face the reality that our neighboring states treat these crimes differently," said Sen. Cale Case, a Republican. He warned his colleagues that if they turn edible possession into a felony, "you're going to catch your own kids, or your grandkids," and ruin their lives.
QUICK HITS: The Boston Globe dispatches a reporter to the badlands of Denver's Colfax Avenue to report on "life after marijuana legalization." After a dive into regulated grows and state-licensed stores, the Globe correspondent reports "the sky didn't fall" after the end of prohibition. In New Zealand, a bunch of cannabis users sparked up at a public park to protest the drug's illegal status, shocking the president of the New Zealand Police Conduct Association. Another day, another Girl Scout selling cookies outside a dispensary. And finally, if you're a chocolatier and cannabis enthusiast, this infused chocolate startup in Portland, Ore., wants your resume. Imagine: "If your a stoner, to be around marijuana at work!" Grammar skills not required, apparently.

Charlotte Van Houten Estate Establishes Scholarship Fund
May 31st, 2005 @ 10:23 am | Author:
The Valley City State University (VCSU) Foundation announced that it has received a bequest of $750,000 from the estate of Charlotte Van Houten ('29), a long-time Valley City resident and VCSU alumnus. The bequest, the largest VCSU has received from a resident of Valley City in its history, will be used to fund a perpetual Charlotte Van Houten Scholarship for VCSU students.
Charlotte received her standard degree with a major in Music Education from VCSU (then called the Valley City State Teacher's College) in 1929. She also received a Bachelor of Science degree from Western Reserve University in Cleveland, and her Master's degree from Columbia University. She taught at the Hathaway Brown School, an independent school for girls in Shaker Heights, OH for 40 years, the last 18 of them as the Head of the Primary Department. She was a board member of the Childhood Education Association; a delegate for several years for Greater Cleveland to the National Conference of the Association; a member of the National Association of Independent Schools, a Jennings Scholar in 1963 for the Jennings Foundation; a board member of the Natural Science Club; and a member of the American Business Women's Association. She retired in 1975 and returned to Valley City to be with her sister, Delphine Van Houten.
Though much of her life was spent in Ohio, Charlotte always retained her connection to Valley City and VCSU. Her father was Dr. Jacob Van Houten, a well-known and respected doctor and county health officer who practiced in Valley City from 1903 to 1960. As a child, she grew up on land that is now occupied by the VCSU Student Center, and would reminisce about the pony she kept in the back yard. In addition to giving to a variety of charities, Charlotte made annual donations to the VCSU Foundation every year since 1986, and has given to several other VCSU groups including Theatre, Music, V-500, and the Library. She was a member of Congregational United Church of Christ in Valley City, a member of Chapter A of the P.E.O. Sisterhood in North Dakota, Valley City Retired Teachers' Association; and Valley City Arts and Gallery Association. Mary Heath, the personal representative of Charlotte, said, 'Charlotte believed that the arts and culture are very important for the survival of the community. She liked to think of Valley City as a small town with a lot of exciting things happening.'
VCSU President Dr. Ellen Chaffee said that the bequest will be used to fund a perpetual scholarship for students at VCSU. Dr. Chaffee said, "Charlotte Van Houten was an extraordinary woman who dedicated her life to education. Throughout her career, she touched many, many young lives. Her generosity and foresight ensure that she will continue to touch young lives indefinitely into the future."
Valley City State University (VCSU) is a four-year undergraduate university that prepares people for life through visionary leadership and exemplary practices in teaching, learning and service. VCSU is nationally acclaimed for attracting and retaining talented individuals who advance quality learning opportunities and economic growth through technology and innovation.

Five things I wish I'd known about confidence
If I look back to my much younger self with the benefit of hindsight, there are many things I might do or say differently.
More importantly there are some key messages about confidence I'd want to share with the less experienced version of me.
1. Trust yourself
I grew up with a secure and protected childhood, which was wonderful but may not have allowed me to develop my independence enough.
It's okay to listen to others opinions and take on board different perspectives, but trusting in my instincts and feelings should have been the most important influence.
2. Speak up, you won't look stupid
Again this is about trusting that what I have to say is as important as anyone else thoughts. There isn't always a right answer and by speaking up more I would have respected myself and boosted my confidence.
3. Your confidence will grow
I remember that scared feeling, when I first left home, when I got my first job and bought my first house.
Feeling nervous and uncomfortable in new experiences and situations is normal and I'd love to reassure my younger self that the more new experiences I throw myself into, the more my confidence will grow.
4. Everyone is doing the best they can
It seemed to me when I first started at University or in new jobs that my peers and seniors all were so confident and sorted.
I now realise that everyone is just doing their best in situations and struggling with their own insecurities. So I should stop worrying what others think and just be me.
5. Good enough is good enough
I definitely have some perfectionist tendencies and set myself high expectations. These days I have learnt to be more realistic with my intentions, which means I don't always have to do or be the best.
The freedom and calmness this has given me are something I would love my younger self to have experienced.
Having said all this, I've enjoyed the learning process that has taken me to where I am, so maybe it's better to discover these lessons for yourself?
Do you have any lessons on confidence you'd like to share with your younger self?

Mid Ulster Council is to investigate ways of 'implementing the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) Campaign against Israel'.
The move follows the adoption of a motion tabled at the monthly meeting by SDLP Councillor Malachy Quinn.
"The SDLP motion was passed tonight despite Unionist objections and a late attempt by UK lawyers for Israel to stop the motion going ahead," said the Coalisland councillor speaking after Thursday's meeting.
"I'm an absolutely delighted that the council has passed my motion to implement campaigns as part of the BSD movement. Tonight Mid-Ulster joins Derry City Council and 100s of councils around the world in standing up for people of Gaza and saying to the Israeli Government that we will not ignore the slaughter of innocent men women and children any longer; that we will use whatever power we have to force them to make peace with the Palestinian people.
"We have tried for three months to get this motion heard on the floor of the council and despite Unionist objections and a strange attempt by UK lawyers for Israel to stop this motion it passed by a large majority.
"While I didn't expect the vote to be cross-community the debate gave us all a chance to talk about an issue that means a lot to people in Mid-Ulster. Everyone in the room wants to see a peaceful and long lasting solution to the crisis in the middle east and the more pressure we can bring on Israel and Hamas the better."
Ulster Unionist Councillor Trevor Wilson had called on Councillor Quinn to withdraw the motion.
He said the resolution "abuses council resources and time." "As councillor Quinn well knows neither he nor I was elected to this place because of our views on the Middle East," he said after the meeting.
He described the resolution as grandstanding.
"Thankfully there are laws in this country that prohibit local councils from discriminating against people because of their nationality and faith," he said.
"Any attempt to implement the resolution by this council possibly risks legal intervention and damage our reputation."
Councillor Wilson said the impact on the Middle East of the resolution would be "totally non-existent."
"All it has done, and will do, is waste council resources, divide our local communities, and deeply alienate the Jewish community and the many friends of Israel in Northern Ireland," he said.

Healthy Cooking Technique Videos
You don't have to be a professional chef to master these cooking methods. Learn each one, and you'll soon have the skills you need to prepare healthier meals without the use of added oils.

How to Make Mashed Cauliflower
If you're looking for a simple and healthy swap for your favorite mashed potato recipe, give mashed cauliflower a try. Once mashed, they have a similar taste and texture, but cauliflower has fewer carbs than spuds do.
Learn to Cook Spaghetti Squash
Perfect for gluten-free, low-fat and special diets, spaghetti squash makes an excellent substitute for many noodle-based recipes. Plus, it's loaded with nutrients like beta carotene and fiber.
How to Make Chia Pudding
Here's a no-cook recipe that you can make ahead in just seconds. When soaked overnight, chia seeds turn into a delicious breakfast pudding with consistency similar to tapioca.
Sweet Potato Chocolate Mousse
This recipe for sweet potato chocolate mousse proves that unexpected combinations are the most delicious. Sweet potato puree gives this vegan dessert a velvet-smooth texture and a wonderful sweetness.
Whipped Coconut Cream
Decadent and delightful, this recipe for dairy-free whipped coconut cream is a total dream. A touch of vanilla and confectioner's sugar adds a subtle sweetness for dessert toppings and fillings. You can even leave out the sugar and vanilla and use this vegan topping as a savory garnish for other meals.
Swedish Milletballs
This meatless alternative to traditional Swedish meatballs is a win as a main course, or served as a party appetizer with toothpicks. The milletballs are made with a mixture of millet, flaxseed meal and fresh veggies. Plus, we've included a bonus recipe for a simple walnut tahini sauce that pairs up perfectly.
How to Steam Fry
Heads up: One tablespoon of oil has 120 to 140 calories of fat. This innovative cooking technique skips the oil and starts by adding veggies to a hot pan, then a little liquid as a great, health-conscious alternative to oil. You can use coconut water, vegetable broth, juices and even beer and wine.
How to Press Tofu
Tofu, a soy-based meat alternative, is denser and easy to cook after being pressed. Remove it from the package, wrap it in paper towels or a clean kitchen towel, place on a plate and add weight on top using another plate and a bag of dried beans or a heavy book. After at least 15 minutes, you'll have pressed tofu at the perfect consistency for some healthy cooking.
How to Chop An Onion
Healthy recipes are much easier to put together when you have the right technique for prepping ingredients you use often, like onions. Peel off the thick, papery skin, cut in half from root to top, slice each half from end to end following the ridges, turn 90 degrees, and cut across the slices for even, uniform pieces.
How To Cook With Parchment Paper
Using parchment paper to roast vegetables in the oven makes clean-up a snap. No oil, butter or added fats are needed as parchment paper creates a non-stick surface. Just line a baking sheet with the parchment paper, toss the vegetables in seasonings such as salt, pepper, chile powder or other herbs and spices and roast as directed.
How to Save the Stems from Winter Greens
Leafy greens are wonderful in so many ways, but what about the stems? They're worth saving too! Hold the stem firmly, strip the leafy part, and get chopping. Add finely chopped stems to stir fries and soups, or cook them with the leaves—just be sure to give them a head start in cooking time.
How To Seed a Hot Chile Pepper
Seeded chile peppers can impart flavor to a healthy dish without setting mouths on fire. Cut the chile in half. Then, with a paring knife, scoop the seeds and veins from the middle and discard. Slice or dice the remaining chile flesh. Works for jalapeños, habaneros or any member of the chile family. Make sure to wash your hands after you handle chiles!
How to Supreme Citrus Fruit
Open up oranges, lemons, and grapefruits to all kinds of culinary possibilities by serving up their juicy sections. Cut off the ends and carefully cut away the skin and white pith with a knife. Next, slice each section on either side of the membrane, removing the fruit sections until all fruit is cut from the center.
How To Cut Pretty Apple Slices
Here's how to slice an apple like a professional: Place it on a board, and cut the flesh away from the core in quarters. Place the pieces on their sides and slice along the length of the apple segment. Arrange the slices into a fan shape. Your friends will be stunned, amazed, astonished, and gobsmacked!

Two weeks have now passed since George Osborne gave his budget. Newspapers and politicians in Westminster have gone over it in detail, but my question is, how does it measure against what local people told me were their priorities?
Nine in ten local families told me that rising energy prices are a big concern, and two thirds said they were worried about the cost of food and everyday household items too.
There was nothing in the budget to tackle this issue. Last Thursday the government finally backed Labour's calls for a full review of the energy market, but local people say they need help right now, not years down the line.
Last Wednesday Big Six energy company SSE has promised to freeze prices until 2016, proving that the government could use a price freeze to help families right now.
Six in ten local people told me that they know someone who has been out of work for over six months, and long-term youth unemployment in our area is twice the national average.
Nearly half blamed this on a lack of government investment in our area, but George Osborne had no new plans for investment that will benefit Dudley. I want investment to build 200,000 new homes a year across the whole country by 2020, bringing jobs, investment and cheaper homes to Dudley. Instead, George Osborne wheeled out old plans to build yet more houses in the South East, at Ebbsfleet.
At this rate, many families in Dudley won't be feeling a recovery for some time yet.
There were major announcements on pensions in the Budget. From now on, pensioners will be able to withdraw as much or as little cash from their pension pots as they like.
People who have worked hard and saved carefully their whole lives deserve to get the best possible value from their pensions, so I welcome any move to give people more power over their pensions.
But this is a big change, and we need to look carefully at how this will affect current pensioners and those saving for their retirement. How will this affect the annuities market? If someone empties their pension pot but ends up in need of social care, who steps in?
In any case, wider reforms are needed. Savers will now need access to proper pensions advice more than ever, and we need to out an end to unfair pension fees that can cost pensioners up to £230,000 over a lifetime.
Last week was Museum Week, and the Black Country Museum was asking local people to share their memories of local attractions.
The Black Country Museum has done a great job of preserving buildings I remember from growing up in the area. The St James School was up the road from me on Eve Hill when I was growing up, I've had fish and chips from Hobbs & Sons at the Museum and at its old site on Hall Street, and I've even spent a summer washing dishes at the Stables Restaurant!
We should be proud of our industrial past and take inspiration from it as we work to bring high-tech manufacturing jobs into the region, and great local attractions like the Black Country Museum help us do that.
Over the last few weeks lots of local residents have been in touch with concerns that the government is seeking to relax or repeal the ban on fox hunting.
On Wednesday the Prime Minister announced that the government will not be introducing an amendment that I know many people feared could have weakened the Hunting Act. However, the Environment Secretary also confirmed in the House of Commons on Thursday that the Government still intend to hold a vote on the repeal of the Hunting Act 'at an appropriate time'.
I believe the hunting ban was an important achievement by the previous Government and it continues to enjoy overwhelming public support. That is why I will work with campaigners to oppose any effort to amend or change the Hunting Act.
I've fought for many animal rights campaigns since getting elected in 2005, so if there are any issues you think I should be raising in Parliament please get in touch at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Frequently asked questions
We are currently receiving a lot of questions with the purpose of assessing the current radiological situation in Japan.
This is an overview of frequently asked questions and some answers:
Which test methods can be used?
Surface contamination measurements, wipe test, dose rate measurements, scintillation measurement and gamma spectrometry. TÜV Rheinland offers all these test methods.
Which types of radiation can be detected (alpha, beta, gamma radiation)?
All types of radiation can be measured; the feasibility of performing them depends on the measuring equipment used, the type of product and the contamination location (surface or in volume). Nuclide-specific measurements are only possible using gamma spectrometry.
Which types of measuring equipment are used (mobile, stationary)?
TÜV Rheinland has laboratory facilities as well as mobile equipment for dose rate and contamination measurements.
What are the test costs for the individual methods per sample?
The costs depend on the task in hand and the extent of the task. Please see our price sheet.
What are the qualifications of the deployed personnel?
Advice is provided by experienced radiation protection experts. Assistance with measurements is available from trained specialists (technicians).
What are the laboratory's qualifications?
The specialist unit and the laboratories are certified in accordance with ISO 9001. The dose rate measurement equipment is standardised, the contamination equipment is calibrated with certified emitters and the laboratories are successfully involved in regular comparison measurements.
Which types of contamination are dangerous/not permitted?
The Federal Environmental Agency has issued an ordinance specifying permissible aircraft contamination.
The Federal Environmental Agency has also issued recommendations regarding permissible contamination of surfaces for goods and ships arriving from Japan.
Permissible levels of contamination in food are set out in an EU Directive.
Can my company perform its own measurements?
Of course, you can also buy your own measuring equipment. We would be pleased to advise you in this respect. Equipment is available on the market even for larger scopes. We can also provide training for your company, which is recommended prior to using and operating such equipment.
Can my company take its own steps for decontamination?
This may or may not be useful or technically feasible depending on the case in hand. We would be pleased to advise you in this respect. A tested and proven process is required before such measures can be implemented. They may result in waste for which particular disposal specifications are in place.

Free market Fundamentalism and the US Health System
President Obama's health reforms run against a strong current of free market fundamentalism. A fundamental belief that the free market always delivers the best results. My article 'The G8 protests and the logically inconsistent foundations of neoclassical economics' discusses how there lacks a theoretical justification for the free market delivering the best results. The empirical evidence shows that alternative systems of health provision provide better health outcomes for less cost than the US free market approach, see the CIA world factbook on 'infant mortality rate' and 'life expectance at birth'. These basic health indicators are picked deliberately as they encompass equity and disparities in health care provision. Noting that the US health system might well provide good health care outcomes to the segments of the population who can manage to stay insured or are rich. Read the rest of this entry »

Microsoft named former cloud and enterprise computing executive Satya Nadella as its CEO Tuesday. Nadella replaces retiring CEO Steve Ballmer. Microsoft's board of directors also announced that former board chairman Bill Gates will assume a new board role as founder and technology advisor, devoting more time to the company and supporting Nadella in shaping technology and product direction.

His vision for how technology will be used and experienced around the world is exactly what Microsoft needs as the company enters its next chapter of expanded product innovation and growth."

A big part of my job is to accelerate our ability to bring innovative products to our customers more quickly." Ballmer added: "Having worked with him for more than 20 years, I know that Satya is the right leader at the right time for Microsoft. I've had the distinct privilege of working with the most talented employees and senior leadership team in the industry, and I know their passion and hunger for greatness will only grow stronger under Satya's leadership."

Bassist David Flemminger, drummer Matt Johnson, and guitarist David Rinck have left the Cardiac Kidz. "Jerry [Flack] and I have decided that we're the official Glimmer Twins of the punk-rock world," Jim Ryan tells the Reader. "We will continue to play and record with other local musicians...until we come across like-minded members to be incorporated into the band.
"The group seems to move through members a lot," says Ryan. "The guys mistake my openness to their input as a full-on tossing the reins of control over to them. When they find out that I have rules of engagement that include a certain sound and attitude that I expect them to uphold, there's a short falling out and the Kidz are on the prowl again for new members. The bad thing is that we never seem to hold on to anyone long enough to solidify the sound. The good thing is that the DNA of the group is spread deeply into the San Diego music scene, as our members have crossed over into at least ten different local bands."
The Cardiac Kidz' EP Playing for Change, originally planned for summer release, will also undergo changes and a delay. "The EP will now hold five songs [instead of six]. We will need to re-record some tracks, as we will not use any of the [takes] from the last recording sessions....
"We still plan to play in New York this summer, and we're scheduled to perform in Seattle in August. And we have enough connections and friendships in Ireland that the upcoming Belfast Dash tour is still on the agenda."
The Cardiac Kidz evolved from the group Glass Onion around 1976, becoming one of the city's earliest and most popular punk bands. Beginning in 2009, the group reunited for several performances and recordings, as well as reissuing their rare early tracks, which were fetching decent money on eBay and elsewhere. The February 2011 issue of the U.K.'s Record Collector magazine included an article about the Kidz' most recent album, Rarities 1979 to 1981: Get Out, a compilation released by local Blindspot Records.

Is the Gang of Eight Plan "Amnesty"?
WASHINGTON, DC (May 3, 2013) — The "Gang of Eight" senators argue that their bill (S.744) is not an amnesty because illegal immigrants would have to pay a fine and fulfill other requirements as a condition of legalization. Yet seven recent tax and parking-ticket amnesties imposed conditions and payments on those who violated the law, and in every case these programs were considered to be an amnesty by elected officials, the public, and the media. Like the Schumer-Rubio immigration bill, each of the amnesties discussed below set aside the normal penalty but still required payments.
A study of other recent amnesties indicates that it is
Examples of recent amnesties:
- In 2012 Rhode Island offered what the state government and media outlets explicitly called a "tax amnesty". The state even created the websitewww.TaxAmnesty.ri.gov to promote it. The amnesty allowed certain taxpayers to pay overdue taxes plus seventy-five percent of interest due by November 15. The remaining interest and civil and criminal penalties were waived.
- The town of Huntington, N.Y., just completed a parking ticket program described as an amnesty by the town board, town supervisor, and local media. To qualify for the amnesty, past due tickets issued January 1, 2005, or later had to be paid by April 30, 2013. The person had to pay the ticket value plus any penalties, but could do so at a 40 percent discount.
- In 2009 Louisiana ran what the state itself called a "tax amnesty", even setting up a "Tax Amnesty Website". The media also referred to it as an amnesty. The program covered past due taxes from 2001 or later. If taxes owed and 50 percent of interest were paid during the two-month amnesty period, the remainder of the interest plus civil penalties were waived.
Members of the Senate's Gang of Eight have argued that S.744 is not an amnesty. On his website promoting S.744, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) states that, "No one gets amnesty". He argues that because the beneficiaries have to meet requirements and pay fines it is not an amnesty. He even states, "no undocumented immigrant is rewarded with anything". Similarly, Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) argued in a National Review opinion article, "This bill ensures that no illegal immigrant will be given amnesty or rewarded for illegal behavior." When asked if the bill was amnesty in a recent interview Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) stated, "not at all." Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) also claimed in a recent interview that the bill is not amnesty.
Despite claims to the contrary, S.744 is similar to the tax and parking ticket amnesties discussed above. The normal penalty for being in the United States illegally is that the alien must leave the country. Under S.744 this penalty is set aside and illegal immigrants who arrived prior to January 1, 2012 are given legal status and can remain in the country. They must also pay a fee of $500 initially, and undergo a background check. Like all the amnesties discussed above, S.744 includes conditions and payments. If S.744 is not an amnesty, then none of the tax and parking ticket amnesties discussed above are amnesties, even though everyone involved with them considers the programs to be amnesties.
"The Schumer-Rubio immigration bill is an amnesty, and those who claim otherwise are not being honest with the American people," said Steven Camarota, Director of Research at the Center for Immigration Studies.

LSMP History
In the Summer of 2002, several of the doctors and other staff at Lawndale Christian Health Center and the area director of the Christian Medical & Dental Society discussed plans to create a student project environment built around real needs in the surrounding community. It was the desire from the outset that the summer project would be an ideal environment in which medical, dental, and allied health students could serve in an urban setting, while working alongside Christian doctors committed to working with the poor in Chicago. During the course of the next year (2002-2003), plans were laid for the first LSMP.
The Lawndale Summer Medical Project was developed as a door-to-door outreach project targeting the health and safety of children residing in the North Lawndale, East and West Garfield communities of near-west Chicago. As a specific medical focus, there would be particular emphasis placed on incidence of lead toxicity, because of historical and current indicators of lead in older homes built in this area.
According to CDPH health statistics, approximately 1/3 of all North Lawndale Children are lead poisoned. Thus, the LSMP sought to achieve two specific goals. First, the LSMP sought to educate residents in the targeted communities about the importance of child health and safety issues. Secondly, the LSMP sought to increase the number of blood lead tests among children in the targeted communities, utilizing a mobile medical van and a phlebotomist.
All blood test results were mailed to the families' homes. Protocol was established for children with an elevated blood lead level to be followed up by Lawndale staff per normal procedures. Of all the children who were screened in the community, 56% (83) were not patients of LCHC. Of the non-LCHC patients who were tested, 36% (30) were lead poisoned. As a result, seven follow-up appointments were scheduled with an LCHC pediatrician.
In 2005, the focus of the LSMP shifted from childhood immunizations and lead poisoning to improving the care of Lawndale patients with chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and asthma. Students were given more clinical experiences; the project has grown to include shadowing of doctors and mid-levels at the clinic, weekly health fairs at local grocery stores, and home visits to Lawndale patients with chronic health problems. Students are also involved in mentoring high school students who are part of the Lawndale Summer Youth Project, a work program designed to motivate local, high-achieving teens to finish high school and go on to college and eventually pursue a profession in health care or other fields. Lastly, the LSMP provides opportunities for group Bible study and fellowship as well as the chance to hear speakers on various topics related to medicine and the Christian faith.

Dance Masters: Jack Cole
This month's featured Master Choreographer is Jack Cole, an American dancer, choreographer, and theatre director known as "The Father of Theatrical Jazz Dance."
When I was a young dancer my teacher gave me Jack Cole to research and do an in-class presentation on. At that time information wasn't as easily accessible as it is now. I can remember going to the library and opening up books on Jack Cole filled with beautiful photographs. Movie stills of Rita Hayworth performing the famous "Put The Blame On Mame" number from Glida and Marilyn Monroe in her signature number "Diamonds Are a Girls Best Friend". I loved these numbers and these women. There was a strength and beauty they possessed in their movement and beingness that captivated me. To my surprise, Jack Cole was the man behind the scenes for these productions. I read on, inspired, and learned how he worked with these women and hand crafted their numbers specifically for them. He worked with their natural body movements and mannerisms to create numbers that enhanced what he saw as unique about each woman.
That was the spark that stirred my fires! The thought that I could embrace the way I wanted to move my body naturally and could create art like that was so exciting! That was revolutionary and freeing to me, for my romance with dance had become weary and uninspired. I had become a dance robot trying to fit into and fulfill somebody else's expectation of perfection. It reaffirmed my own knowingness I had as a little girl to move my body and to dance without expectation or perfection. Just "TO BE." When I was little I would express through movement all that I felt and imagined as my mother, more than willingly, would keep replaying the music on the stereo till I was all danced out or it was dinner time. Whatever came first. In later years that same knowingness would transition me out of Ballet class and into every other style of dance I could get into to satisfy this never ending curiosity of how I could move my body and feel the music.
Somewhere along the way I stopped listening to that knowingness. Was it because someone disapproved or that I felt my mother trying to live through me and took on her expectations? At this point I don't really care. I am thankful for the inspiration I got from watching and studying Jack's work. I am so happy to be continuing my life in dance with my curiosity and knowingness back intact and helping others embrace their own expression (uniqueness) and love of dance!
I hope you enjoy and find some inspiration in this wonderful video about Jack Cole!
