Foreclosure protesters abandon plan to chide Denver Mayor Michael Hancock
A protest that at first was scheduled to occur at Denver Mayor Michael Hancock's home Tuesday night and then was switched to a wine bar where he was going to be attending a fundraising event has now been canceled.
The protesters were upset that Hancock hasn't weighed in on the foreclosure crisis that has particularly affected the neighborhood where he lives — Green Valley Ranch.
The action at first was going to include singing Christmas carols at his home, including the words "foreclosure" in strategic places in the songs. But then the protesters learned Hancock wasn't going to be there.
The protest then was going to be at Lala's Wine Bar, where Hancock was expected to be at a fundraiser. The idea was to deck the sidewalk in front of the venue with bags of trash while singing "Foreclosure Carols," according to a press release by the Colorado Progressive Coalition.
"CPC members will call on Hancock to address the foreclosure problem by fining banks $1,000 a day for homes that remain blighted and vacant after being foreclosed upon," according to the press release.
Now, the group has decided instead to ask for a meeting with the mayor to urge him to be proactive in addressing the foreclosure crisis.
"We feel we have made good contact with the City and County of Denver's staff and feel we want to continue that and work together," said Corrine Fowler, director of the campaign for economic justice with the Colorado Progressive Coalition. "We do hope that Hancock will be supportive, and we are going to wait and see what kind of position he takes. Hopefully, this will allow him to talk to some of his neighbors about the foreclosure concerns they have."
The coalition is in support of three possible bills to be introduced during the 2012 legislative session that will address the foreclosure crisis. Yet, they hope Denver will consider passing an anti-blight ordinance, which has occurred in other municipalities. In some of those ordinances, cities fine the banks if a foreclosed property becomes blighted.
"I think we are optimistic about the possibility of doing good in the 2012 legislative session and it would be good to see leadership from Hancock and other policy makers who have seen foreclosures affect their neighborhoods," said Fowler.

End to End Project Execution Process
1 Business Development
You don't have to be an entrepreneur to have a great idea for a business. And you don't need to start a business to profit from a great idea. Inspiration can strike anybody—it happens all the time. Someone is struggling with a chore around the house and thinks of a gadget that would be a big help. Or maybe they're rooting around for obscure information online and realize an app could automate the job. The next step is launching a startup, right? Not necessarily. There are lots of options for people who have a great idea but don't want to take on the burdens of starting and running a company. Whether they want an immediate payday or recurring income, whether they want to sign away their idea outright or keep a firm hand on it, there are steps they can take that are a lot simpler and less daunting than becoming a full-blown entrepreneur.

Cropping is the trimming of a photo to remove unnecessary sections. Cropping should be done to improve a photo not just to make a pretty shape. Cropping also allows for more photos to be added to a page. When cropping some attention should be paid to maintaining the historical integrity of a picture. Never crop out anything that identifies the time period in which the photo was taken.

When you invite the Holy Spirit to take you over and trust and follow the loving guidance you receive, expect change to happen. He will not wait until you're ready. There is no internship. His love is there ALWAYS . . . far before you were conceived. He will guide and guard you along the way, but He will also take you in your brokenness and use you. Yes, USE YOU. You will be faced with His work for you to do. You will be unprepared. The need will be immediate. You will not have time to solve your own problem first. You will be the instrument used for another. Your trust in Him will enable a good work to be done in and through you and if you allow it, the work will be done. Later, when you rest in Him, you will discover that somewhere along the way you completely forgot your own problem. He did not forget. He merely healed it. Your own perfection will never exist in this life, but have no fear. You have something better. You have His!

Odor remediation
Remove bad odors once and for all.
Call us for a free quote at 800-581-9946
How often have you walked into a store, restaurant, home or building and smelled something that takes you right back to a pleasant time in your life? Perhaps it's the smell of baking bread, cookies, a certain type of flower, perfume or a thousand other things.
One of the leading triggers of memory is smell, and having the right scents and smells in your place of business can trigger pleasant feelings and memories in clients and customers. This can affect their mood, their emotions and create a better experience.
At Ambius, we are Premium Scenting experts who work with you to select a scent that perfectly matches your brand and business. Triggering the right memories with the right scents is a delicate thing, but the right memories will make your place of business one that clients and customers will enjoy and want to spend more time in.
The connection between smell and memory is not arbitrary and it isn't just theory: it's science. Back in 2004, a scientist named Dr. Linda Buck actually won the Nobel Prize in physiology after studying how humans can differentiate thousands of smells. Some estimates that the average human brain can tell the difference between 10,000 different smells that range from freshly baked bread to that favorite barbecue recipe.
What Buck's studies proved was a connection between smelling those scents and the memories they trigger. It turns out that there are tiny bundles of nerve cells inside the human nose that can differentiate between all of those scents, and Dr. Buck discovered that when those cells detected a scent, it was within the same sensory area that humans use to store memories.
Now that it has been proven that scent can trigger memory, the question might be, how does that affect or improve business? There are two things to consider:
For the first, it has been proven via the same science listed above that those experiencing pleasant memories will stick around longer. If you use Premium Scenting in a retail environment that triggers memories that are positive, customers are more likely to spend more time inside your retail establishment. The longer customers spend in your retail space, the more likely they will be to make a purchase.
For businesses who want to create a positive impression on clients and customers, scenting can make a difference. That means even if you don't have a retail space, putting a scenting machine in the conference room where you give sales pitches to clients can create a more positive experience in the minds of those potential clients. While it doesn't guarantee the sale, it sure goes a long way toward putting your company top of mind.
Ambius Premium Scenting experts have the solution for your business. Our scenting machines sends micro-droplets into the air so that you don't end up with residue all over the furniture. By releasing the appropriate amount of fragrance into the air, Ambius Premium Scenting will provide your space with fresh, clean and pleasant aroma without being overwhelming.
Our scents are free of solvents and other potentially harmful chemicals such as propellants that you might get with aerosol sprays. We use organic compounds to create a pure scent that will last.
Contact your Ambius professional now at 800-581-9946 or use our online form to learn more about our revolutionary scenting products.

Having cameras trailing their every move wasn't a major adjustment for the stars of the new reality show "Push Girls." They were already accustomed to what they refer to as "PS" — people staring.
They've just added a few million more. And for that, they say they are grateful.
Angela Rockwood, Mia Schaikewitz, Auti Angel and Tiphany Adams have each spent most of their adult lives in wheelchairs. And long before there were any cameras around, each had become an ambassador for people with disabilities, whether through charity work or by chatting with fellow gym-goers who had questions about their physical capacities.
"They start asking, 'What happened?' We start sharing our story, and then it becomes this inspiring moment," says Rockwood, a former model who was injured in a car accident the week before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. "Regardless if we had the TV show or not, this is something we were already doing."
The four women have been close friends in Los Angeles for years. Each is strikingly beautiful, stylish and dynamic. And interesting, with or without the disability. In the first episode, which aired June 4 on the Sundance Channel, the show deals directly with the logistics of the women's lives — how they drive and bathe, whether they can exercise or have sex. (Yes, Tiphany explains with an eye roll, "lots and lots of sex.")
But the narrative quickly becomes about the women, not their disabilities. At 42, Angel is attempting to have a baby with her husband. Schaikewitz, 34, is figuring out her relationship with a boyfriend who doesn't want children. Adams, 29, is trying to find a career that suits her while dating both men and women. Rockwood, 37, has recently separated from her husband and is wading back into the modeling world.
To Rockwood, it seemed as if the universe conspired to create the show. While cheering on a friend who was auditioning for "American Gladiator," she met the show's producer, David Hurwitz. A year later, she found his card while cleaning out her closet with a friend who was encouraging her to find a bigger platform for her message. Rockwood decided to e-mail Hurwitz the next day, but before she had a chance, he sent her a Facebook message.
Hurwitz introduced Rockwood to Gay Rosenthal, executive producer of "Little People, Big World" and "Ruby." Soon they all met for brunch. "Immediately when we met her we all knew that we were in good hands," Auti said during a recent visit the four women made to the District. "She was going to embrace our vision. We wanted to be able to reach out to the masses and tell people, 'No matter what obstacle comes your way, it's always overcome-able.' "
Schaikewitz, the only one of the four who was not injured in a car accident, had the most reservations about being featured in a reality series. She was rendered paralyzed at 15 by an arteriovenous malformation that burst in her spinal chord. She works as a graphic designer, and while she's an outspoken advocate for disability rights, she is deeply protective of her private life.
"I was like, 'Oh my gosh, not only are my friends going to watch this, but the world.' It was daunting for me," recalls Schaikewitz, shiny black hair falling over dramatic blue earrings. "But I realized this was something I needed to sacrifice to get this message out."
The only other worry for the women was whether they'd live up to the expectations of disabled viewers. "Yes, we are disabled, but we can't represent the disabled community as a whole because we're living our lives," Auti says. "I can only represent myself."
In October, film crews began tailing the women each Thursday through Sunday. And although it sometimes seems as if the women are saving up particularly intriguing moments of their lives for the cameras, they swear none of the shows are scripted or rehearsed. (We get a close-up when Schaikewitz and her boyfriend break up, and we're there when Adams and a woman she's seeing share a kiss on the dance floor.)
A week before it aired, the women gathered at Rockwood's house to watch the first of 14 episodes. They huddled on the couch, wondering how their lives could be condensed into 22 minutes. As the show ended, Angel fell into Rockwood's lap, crying.
"I bawled because I've waited for this platform for 20 years. I've always wanted to reach out to the masses on a larger scale and inspire," says Angel, a hip-hop dancer who used to tour with LL Cool J. "They're capturing our lives gracefully and respectfully — even if we do cuss on occasion."
The women say they hope the show will encourage other disabled people, especially those who are newly injured and still grappling with life in a wheelchair. And they hope it will open the eyes of able-bodied viewers. The show's title has a double meaning — suggesting not just how they get around, but how much they've pushed for access, rights and understanding.
It wasn't long after Schaikewitz's paralysis that she accepted the changes to her body. But she's still waiting for everyone else to catch up. "I was like, 'Cool. I'm cool with it.' And then I would go out and people would come up and be like, 'I'm so sorry this happened to you.' Or, 'Don't worry, they're going to come up with a cure one day so you can walk.' And I was like, 'Oh my gosh, I just want a cure for ignorance!' " she says.
"Because there is a cure — it's awareness."
airs Monday nights at 10 p.m. on the Sundance Channel

QinQ Interfaces¶
QinQ interfaces may be created that have nested 802.11q VLAN tags. In pfSense® software, these are managed at Interfaces > (assign) on the QinQs tab.
The NIC in use must properly support 802.11q VLANs, or the reduced MTU from using such an interface may be problematic.
QinQ is used in various places such as Metro Ethernet, or more complex VLAN setups that span across multiple sites.
When adding a QinQ interface, select the physical Parent Interface, the First level tag, optionally add it to a QinQ interface group, a Description, and then add the Member(s) (VLAN tags).
Member VLANs are added by clicking and typing in a VLAN tag number. To add more, click again and enter another tag. Repeat as often as needed. Members can be assigned one by one or using ranges such as 99-101.

What Not to Do
As we rapidly approach the soft, gooey center of the holiday season, I've decided to share one more tumultuous tale of workplace distress.
This particular occurrence did not trickle down to me from a second or third hand source, oh no, this was witnessed by my very own eyes.
A few years ago one of my regular clients was kind enough to extend me an invitation to their holiday party. Normally I would graciously decline an offer like this thinking that my presence might somehow hinder everyone's good time, and ability to relax. But, I had been working with them for about ten years and we all felt pretty comfortable around one another. I accepted.
After a few hours of good tunes, and a few more glasses of holiday cheer, the mood was joyous and festive. And then, the owner walked in dressed in a santa suit from head to toe. He wasn't passing out gift cards for coffee or company paper weights, what he was doing however, was inviting all of the office "hotties" to sit on his lap.
Sure everyone was having a good time, and they might have appeared to be distracted, deep in conversation with one another. THEY WERE ALL WATCHING. Trust me.
The struggle is real.
Don't do this.
Happy Holidays everyone! See you in 2016!

The Silver Lining in Performance Reviews: Career Development
People Feature: The Silver Lining in Performance Reviews: Career Development
Article published on November 30, 2015
By Clare Trapasso
By Clare Trapasso
Annual performance reviews may be unpopular with many employees, but the development plans that typically accompany them can pave the way to gain the skills and experiences workers need to get ahead.
Firms such as State Street, Prudential Financial and Securian Financial Group encourage employees to consider stretch assignments with other departments and lateral moves to introduce them to different parts of the company. The firms also offer online and in-person training to help prepare workers for the next rung on the corporate ladder.
"Getting new experiences is really important in developing people's careers," says Alison Quirk, chief human resources and citizenship officer at State Street. "It could be continuing to do your job, but working on a project that will get you exposure to either another part of the business or a product or process you don't have familiarity with."
The onus is on employees to manage his or her own career and articulate goals to their supervisors during the performance review process, she says.
"Don't let a manager assume they know what your career aspirations are," Quirk says.
State Street's more than 30,000 employees undergo performance reviews in December and then set goals and development plans the following month.
Employees at the Boston-based firm can apply for short-term assignments in different departments or offices around the globe to learn new skills, she says.
State Street also launched a professional development program this year for mid-level employees, where 36 workers rotate through four different assignments in various divisions and locations within the firm over a two-year span to fast-track their development. The firm hopes to expand the program to about 50 participants. A similar opportunity is offered to new recruits.
"Building careers means you really need to learn about what's going on in different departments … [to] be able to progress," Quirk says.
Staffers should be able to pinpoint their dream jobs within their companies and know the skills required to move into those positions, says Alexandra Levit, author of Blind Spots: The 10 Business Myths You Can't Afford to Believe on Your New Path to Success. They can then pitch projects to their managers through which they could attain those skill sets.
"Even if you want to stay in your current job for the next 30 years, you need to be upping your game," says Levit, who is also president of the Chicago-based workplace consultancy Inspiration at Work.
Like State Street, Prudential Financial encourages employees to figure out where they want to go professionally and candidly share those aspirations with their managers.
This helps managers identify opportunities for them, such as interdepartmental "stretch" assignments, jobs shadowing colleagues in different departments or finding new mentors, says Julie Stone, VP of learning and leadership development.
"We're looking for a development plan that's not just going to meet the company's needs, but meet their own professional and personal needs," she says.
The Newark, N.J.-based insurer starts its annual review process in February for its roughly 48,000 staffers, and development plans are encouraged, says Stone.
During performance reviews, professionals should discuss the development and training they want from the company to improve, says Jen Shirkani, founder and CEO of the Bedford, N.H.-based leadership development consultancy the Penumbra Group.
Workers interested in moving into other parts of the business should research the role they want by looking at the job description on hiring websites and talking to people in those positions.
They should also be on the lookout for educational opportunities. "If your company offers free workshops internally, take them," she says. "It only adds to your value."
Most employees are keen on professional development, says Victor Lipman, author of The Type B Manager: Leading Successfully in a Type A World.
"It leads to a lot of dissatisfaction, and ultimately retention problems, when employees don't get the career support that they want," says Lipman, a MassMutual alum who worked in corporate communications at the company.
State Street offers chapters of Toastmasters to help workers with their public speaking, as well on-site chartered financial analyst designation preparatory courses. It also maintains an internal website stocked with tutorials, online courses and videos on topics ranging from project management to beginner Microsoft Excel skills.
In addition, managers can send workers to certificate programs or to local colleges if their budgets allow.
Securian has an internal website for employees who want to learn more about particular business areas and skills that includes workshops, lists of books to read and links to training videos, says Mary Streed, head of human resources. The St. Paul, Minn.-based firm also offers about 100 in-person or online courses, with topics like how to cultivate talented teams.
The financial services company holds its performance reviews, which often include development plans, during the first quarter of each year. It has more than 4,000 employees.
"[A performance appraisal is] a wonderful opportunity to assess where you've been and position yourself for where you want to go," Streed says.
As a general assignment reporter on the Daily News' Queens Bureau and Metro Desk, she covers everything from schools being closed, to naked bike rides, to grisly murders, local politics and everything in-between.
Prior to that, she was an Associated Press reporter in the wire service's New Hampshire Bureau. During the six-month assignment, she covered state and national news and put together several multimedia projects. She also edited stories and wrote broadcast news.
She became passionate about journalism at the State University of New York at Purchase College, where she graduated with a B.A. in journalism in 2002. In her senior year, she created a campus women's newspaper called The Cycle.
After receiving her undergraduate degree, she joined the Peace Corps. She was sent to Independent Samoa in the South Pacific, where she learned Samoan and taught college-level journalism classes in the capitol.
When she returned to America, she began graduate school. In 2007, she earned a M.A. in Journalism from New York University. As a student, she interned for the Daily News and The Village Voice. After graduation, she did an internship in the Associated Press New York City Bureau.

Focusing on What We Can Control
Once again we have another tragedy involving violence against innocent people. It's an odd paradox: we are living in a global community that is more connected than any time in history, yet it seems to me that people feel disconnected and disenfranchised and desperate to be noticed more than ever. I am starting to feel overwhelmed by the lack of empathy and uncertainty in the world. As the live news feed rolled in on the TV tonight, all I could do was focus my mind on making dinner for my kids like it was any other Wednesday, wistfully remembering the days before 9/11. Since the Paris attacks, I have been thinking that maybe instead of allowing our attention to be glued to our devices, social media and events out there, we turn our focus to the people in our lives, right here. We must do a better job recognizing when someone is unstable, getting desperate, or needs coping skills. People cannot feel invisible. I am as guilty anyone for allowing the distraction of world headlines, news feeds and business priorities to pull me away from what is most important. I am going to make a focused effort to be present, to focus on the people and relationships in my life. Even if for 30 days we cut off technology, political blather, and meaningless distractions and worked hard at being good parents, responsible family members, accountable employees and community citizens, I believe we can stop this alarming trend. Each home can positively influence a town, each town can positively influence a state, and each country can positively change the world.

Three Career Skills Boomers are Better at than Millennials (Part II)
This is a continuation of an article I posted in our monthly Performance Pointer. If you would like to subscribe to the monthly newsletter click here.
Skill Three – Perseverance
Perseverance is tied to the emotional intelligence skill of motivation - staying productive even despite headwinds. Boomers have a strong stick-to-itiveness. They don't just leave jobs if they are frustrated, they don't call in sick because they want to avoid a co-worker, and they don't want to change assignments every year because they are bored. Millennials do bring a great enthusiasm to their work and require it be fulfilling and engaging – all great traits. But in reality, all jobs have periods of stagnation. It just can't always be fun…Boomers understand this and just slog through it when they have to. Millennials can gain key maturity skills by going to school on their Boomer colleagues.
As the Boomers retire in big numbers we are surely losing institutional knowledge, but we are also losing some key functional skills too. Organizations should be working to promote cross-generational mentor-ships to encourage the transferring of these vital career skills. Boomers should use their emotional intelligence to spot "coachable" moments to provide insight on business challenges. Millennials can use their emotional intelligence by recognizing when they are wanting too much too fast, identifying their triggers for creating unnecessary urgency. With all strengths, if they are overused they become a weakness. The strengths and weaknesses of the Boomers and Millennials nicely offset each other creating strong teams when both parties are open and willing to collaborate. For more ideas, check out this article on "reverse mentoring." At our firm, we have seen several family owned organizations with multiple generations working together in the workplace and the ones who are successful are leveraging the knowledge, experience and maturity of the older generation by keeping them active in on-boarding programs, leading small group discussions with younger employees, and assigning them to newly promoted employees as mentors. Ten thousand people turn 65 every day, don't hesitate to transfer vital EQ skills across the generations in your workplace.

James Butterworth, Christian youth work and Clubland. The Rev. James Butterworth (1897-1977) made a very significant contribution to thinking and practice around youth work in the church. He pioneered a more youth-oriented approach within the Methodist Church and established a lasting Christian institution – Clubland – in Walworth, London.

The Reverend James (Jimmy) Butterfield (1897-1977) was a significant presence in inter-war Methodism. Best known for his work in Walworth – and the establishment of Clubland – his (1932) advocacy of 'a house for friendship for boys and girls outside any church' made a major impact on debates concerning Christian youthwork (youth work) on both sides of the Atlantic. In this piece we provide an overview of his life and contribution.
James Butterworth – early life
James Butterworth was the eldest of a family of five children living in Oswaldtwistle near Accrington, Lancashire. Born in 1897, he did well at school – but had to leave, aged twelve, when his father died (Poor Law regulations required that he had to contribute to the family income). He worked a ten hour day in a dye works (enduring some pretty nasty conditions and earning just 3s a week) and then, in the evenings he sold newpapers or served in an eating-house. James Butterworth resented having to leave school and envied those boys who had been able to stay on and complete their grammar school education. His experience led him to the strong belief that young people, however, poor their circumstances, needed a place where they could go in the evenings for friendship, recreation and education (Eagar 1953: 374).
When his sisters were old enough to work he was able to return to education (at a local night school) and soon became known locally as 'the boy preacher'.
Like many Lancashire lads stunted by premature employment and thirsting for self-expression, he might have trodden the worn road from preaching to politics, but the First World War broke out and he became Private Butterworth, James, in the Bantom Battalion of the Lancashire Fusiliers. The intimate knowledge of other men fostered by Army life gave him further instances of frustration, and he formed a conviction that the waste of boyish powers and the perversion of boyish ambitions were wicked things which should be corrected by the churches, for they alone, as far as he knew, had a mission to secure social justice. (Eagar 1953: 374-5)
Through army chaplains James Butterworth was able to gain admission in 1919 to Didsbury Theological College to train for the Methodist ministry. He did not have an easy time, having very particular ideas about his ministry and the role of the church. He was allowed to takeover a derelict mission on the edge of Manchester where he soon became known as 'the wee parson' (he was of very slight build – just five foot tall) and began to develop work with local working boys. However, the College was approached by group to help them to find someone to takeover a run-down church in Walworth, London. It seemed that James Butterworth fitted the bill.
Walworth and Clubland
When James (Jimmy) Butterworth came to the Walworth church in 1922 there were just 25 people in the congregation. A Wesleyan Methodist Church had been on site since 1813 and amongst its famous former attendees (during the 1850s) was William Booth (the founder of The Salvation Army). However, most of the congregation some seventy years later came to the Sunday services from the suburbs to which they had migrated. While loyal, they were something of an anachronism – their church had become an 'alien institution':
Around it had been compacted a muddle of mean streets, bestridden by railway arches and coal-sidings, in which a miscellany of small factories, crammed into the former garden space of houses, built for single families but 'made down' without structural alterations for several, smoked, smelt and were noisy. Children, adolescents and adults alike ignored the grimy chapel, which ignored them. (Eagar 1953: 376)
It was a situation that appalled James Butterworth. The only direct knowledge he had of the area before he arrived was his contact with 'Patrick' – a reformatory school boy he had met in Manchester. Butterworth sought him out – and found that he had both returned to Walworth and to criminal activity (in part to escape the sordid conditions he had come back to). 'Patrick' ended up in prison – and his situation confirmed and quickened James Butterworth's desire to focus his ministry on work with local young people. He basically told the congregation that there were Methodist churches in the places where they lived – and that they should worship there.
James Butterworth then set out to reach young people who would not normally be attracted to the church. His youth work approach involved four particular elements. That:
Young people deserved good quality facilities. Their activities and clubs should be housed in attractive buildings that were both functional and beautiful. They also deserved the best equipment. Why are these things less necessary for those who live in the slums of south London, he asked, than for university undergraduates? (Morgan 1939: 285)
There should be a strong emphasis on participation and involvement in the governance of the club or group. Clubland had large separate clubs for boys and girls and older members organized on 'a specially thought-out system of self-government (club parliament. separate 'houses' run by selected members from each section) (Rooff 1935: 182).
Members should make an adequate contribution to the cost of the facility.
All members should take their part in the life of the church. 'Church loyalty' and 'all-round fitness' were central aims.
His focus on young people necessarily meant that there was significantly less emphasis on work with other ages – and this was a bone of contention within the Methodist Church. His emphasis on parliamentary style 'government' and on large clubs had some parallels in the boys clubs championed by Charles Russell (Russell and Rigby 1908) and later by Basil Henriques (1933). In many ways the set up in this, and the other examples, would better described as involving a measure of self-government. Both Henriques and Butterworth, for example, were major presences in their organization – and the process is a slow one (they were also friends). Initially the leader has to take responsibility, then gradually hand over work to a committee initially selected by the leader and helpers. Then elections might be possible (Henriques 1933: 79-93). James Butterworth urged club workers to be patient and to persevere with the encouragement of self-government – especially in the face of setbacks. He argued from his experience that members 'soon discover for themselves that legislation by proper procedure is a thrilling way to govern' (1932). 'They find it sensible', he continued, 'to listen whilst others talk and are not likely to have the whole thing spoiled by a few foolish members out for a lark or allow a rowdy element to turn it into a pantomime'. While he does appear to have genuinely sought to take things further down the road of self-government than many boys' clubs workers, he inevitably remained a central reference point.
James Butterworth wanted to build a complex of buildings for young people and, after some years of fundraising, he was able to demolish the old church in the mid 1930's and build Clubland. It consisted of club rooms, workshops, an art room, a church, a theatre, a gymnasium, a hostel, an open air playground (on the roof) and a residence for the Head a building for girls and boys clubs and was designed by Sir Edward Maufe (the architect of Guildford Cathedral). It was opened in 1939 by Queen Mary, (who was the patron of Clubland for several years). In many respects James Butterworth had taken a leaf out of Henry Morris' book. Morris had also insisted on the importance of good architecture and convivial surroundings. A. E. Morgan (1939) singled out Clubland for special comment. 'Clubland', he asserted, 'has achieved the impossible'. Sadly, the new church and several of the club rooms were destroyed just two years later by a bomb during an air raid. Work was able to continue in some of the lower club rooms and at the end of the war renovation work began. The new building was finally opened in 1964. In the late 1960s the work of Clubland had to be rethought. Much of the area it served was cleared – and rebuilt as the Aylesbury Estate (which is now again subject to major redevelopment). According to Frost (2006: 67) the housing clearance meant the loss of 300 members and 30 out of the 36 officers.
Much of the work was only made possible by James Butterworth's abilities as a fund-raiser. He was able to communicate the vision underpinning the work, the desperate needs locally, and the unique contribution that Clubland could make. He was able to gain the support of notable celebrities such as Bob Hope (who was originally from south London), John Mills, Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh. He was also supported by Lord Rank and the Joseph Rank Benevolent Trust (who were great funders of Methodist building projects) (see Frost 2006). Butterworth himself became something of a celebrity (appearing for example on This is Your Life in 1955) (Frost 2006:65-6).
James Butterworth's contribution to Christian youth work
Leonard Barnett makes the following assessment of Butterworth's contribution:
For years he spoke bluntly to his own Church, neither giving quarter nor desiring it. Like most men of his calibre, he had to stand a great deal of misunderstanding and acrimony from those who refused to face the facts, or were unable or unwilling to do anything about them in the way he passionately pleaded for. If he was for long the stormy petrel of Methodist youth work, he was undoubtedly the one to set at length many others winging in the same adventurous and essentially Christian direction. (Barnett 1951: 58)
Barnett goes on to make to make two key points about the work undertaken at Clubland. First, it was not a pattern that could (or should) be picked up by many local churches. 'In its largely youthful membership, it tends toward a denial of the true family nature of the Church, and towards creating a kind of "club Christianity" which in the long run does not ideally serve the interests of the Kingdom of God' (op. cit.). This was a judgement echoed by Bryan Reed another important figure in the development of Methodist youth work. 'Will young people reared in youth centres', he asked, 'afterwards settle down in ordinary churches? (quoted by Frost 2006: 67).
Second, while the pattern of work that emerged ran against that which in an ideal world was desirable, it was what emerged out of that particular environment. 'It must always be the Christian's task, Barnett (1951: 58) comments, 'to do the thing that is nearest, to the best of his ability, rather than wait until all the omens and circumstances are favourable'.
A further, important, consideration is the extent to which the success of Clubland depended upon the personality of James (Jimmy) Butterworth – and the relative uniqueness of what it offered. Butterworth's personality – and his ability to attract high profile supporters was not easy to follow nor to emulate (Frost 2006: 67). Further, the more centres there were that looked like Clubland – the less 'special' they appear to funders.
The crusading spirit of James Butterworth and Clubland was of 'enduring and universal value' (Barnett 1951: 59). His writing, and people's direct experience of the work was to influence a significant number of people both within the Methodist church and beyond. The quality of the facilities he developed were an obvious example to others; and his emphasis on self-government an important focus. But it was his calls for the Church to focus more strongly on the needs of young people – especially in areas where there was significant deprivation that commanded attention – and helped create the right environment for the establishment of the Methodist Association of Youth Clubs and for the massive expansion of youth club work within Methodism during the Second World War and after.
Today Clubland is part of the Walworth Methodist Church which has the largest Methodist congregation in London with 450 members and its average weekly attendance for worship is 350. 95 per cent of the membership is black – with the largest number coming from West African families (walworthmethodist.org.uk). Youth work remains, but there is also a full community programme operating within the building with over 50 voluntary groups regularly using the premises. These include clubs for those with special needs (the Freddie Mills Club), for ethnic minorities (including a Turkish Luncheon Club, an African Caribbean Luncheon Club and classes for those with English as a second language) and for young people (Clubland Methodist Young Adults and Southwark's Black Mentor Scheme) (details from the Walworth Methodist website). Clubland also joined with the West London Mission to run a 34 bed Hostel (for overseas students and asylum seekers) (using the hostel building that Butterworth built). West London Mission's Big Hour project also has 10 flats for a rough sleepers initiative.

Daylight all day and all night – Watermelon and mint salad
by soffiagudrun
This is my favorite time of the year. Summer is kicking in, and what I love the most, since I can´t say the really warm weather (we don´t have much of that), is the almost 24 hour daylight. I am one of those who don´t even want to use my blinds for the window. I sleep well during the night when it looks like the time is only 1o o´clock in the morning all night.
In summer I prefer lighter meals. I saw this recipe online some time ago. I loved the ingredients so I had to try it and have been making it quite a bit since then. It is fresh and it goes so well with all kinds of different food.
If you need to bring a dish to a brunch or a buffet and you don´t have much time to cook this is a nice dish to bring.
Watermelon and mint salad
- Watermelon
- Feta cheese, fresh.
- Fresh mint
- Good olive oil
- A little salt if you like
Cut the watermelon and the feta into small cubes. ( I even crumble the feta cheese). Chop the mint. Mix it all together and drizzle with a good olive oil.

Communities Assist With Marine Protection
Since 2016 the Bahamas Protected team and representatives from key government agencies, have reached out to Family Island communities for input on marine areas proposed for protection, as well as areas community members think should have protection.
The team recently lead lively community meetings in Spanish Wells, followed by meetings on mainland North Eleuthera, Harbour Island and Barraterre, Exuma.
Residents provided input on proposed areas, verified species that live in or move through these areas and expressed concerns about the need for effective management of existing and proposed areas.
Prior to the North Eleuthera community meetings, the team visited South Andros and South Abaco to gather input on proposed areas. As the consultation phase of the Bahamas Protected project wraps up, the final community meeting is planned for June 14 in New Providence. The New Providence community meeting will be held from 6 pm to 9 pm at the Harry C. Moore Library Auditorium at the University of The Bahamas. The public is encouraged to come out and share their feedback on areas being proposed for protection throughout The Bahamas and to learn about the Bahamian Marine Protected Area Network expansion.

"Some people, initially when they hear the word (protection) they get cautious, but this meeting has been a good meeting in dispelling a lot of the myths that are associated with what is allowed in protected areas," said Ricky Mackey, North Eleuthera Member of Parliament, while attending the Harbour Island meeting. "A lot of the questions that I asked tonight were questions that are put to me as the Member of Parliament by fishermen and residents of North Eleuthera. I'm glad and enlightened by a lot of the things that I've learned this evening and so that information will be imparted to the constituents of this area."
Eleuthera resident and former fisherman James Munroe expressed his support for protecting the industry that supported him as a fisher and supports him now as an entrepreneur. "It's important to protect our marine environment so that we can have a substantial amount of fish in our country and that there can be fish for me and for other generations to come."
With vibrant fishing communities in North Eleuthera, including Spanish Wells, concerns were expressed that some proposed areas are in the same place as existing fishing grounds. Fishers also explained problems they've faced with illegal fishing by foreign poachers and locals, and shared their desire to work with management agencies to properly manage these areas.
To ensure that his community's concerns are heard, Robert Roberts, Chief Councilor for Spanish Wells intends to gather further information from his community and pass that information on to the Bahamas Protected team. "We're going to set up and go around and get everyone's opinion on the island, as many as we can and we'll send you that opinion," said Roberts.

Fred Arnett, TNC Conservation Practioner, discussing the Ecological Gap Analysis to meeting attendees in South Andros at the Marion Forbes Youth Center, Kemp's Bay Andros.
"How these areas will be managed has come up at many of the meetings that we've had," noted Bahamas National Trust's (BNT) Conservation Planner, Lashanti Jupp. "We want to ensure that existing and proposed marine protected areas that get assigned to BNTare effectively managed and we are getting better at working with communities to do just that."
Casuarina McKinney-Lambert, Excecutive Director of BREEF, also drew attention to the benefits of MPAs, and particularly that higher levels of protection result in more fish that eventually move out of protected areas to replenish fish stocks in surrounding areas and support our commercial fisheries.

Bahamas Protected is a joint effort between The Nature Conservancy, the Bahamas National Trust, and Bahamas Reef Environment Educational Foundation (BREEF) in collaboration with key government agencies and other national stakeholders, with major funding support from Oceans 5.
With about 13 million acres (10%) of the Bahamas marine environment being declared a protected area, there is still much to do to reach the 20% protection goal by 2020.

40 fresh cherries
750 mL bottle of amaretto (about 3 cups)
12 ounces white chocolate chips
Vegetable oil
With a knife, make small ¼-inch cuts into the bottom of each cherry. Place the cherries into mason jars, filling each jar about ¾ of the way full.
*(If you are making these for a party and you don't want to bother your guest with cherry pits, try using needle nose pliers to carefully pull out each pit where you cut your X).
Fill each jar with amaretto to just cover the cherries. Close each jar securely, and shake gently for 10 seconds before placing into the refrigerator. Let cherries soak overnight, or up to 48 hours.
Strain the cherry mixture (you can reserve the slightly cherry-flavored amaretto for cocktails) into a colander. Pat down each cherry with a paper towel or cloth until each one is dry.
Melt white chocolate chips in the microwave, adding vegetable oil as needed. Stir well to create a chocolate coating.
Dip each cherry into the white chocolate coating. Let excess chocolate drip off before placing the cherries on to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silpat mats.
Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving. Keeps best in the fridge for up to 1 day.

It was an unexpected but welcomed call, when the other afternoon I picked up the phone and heard the voice of the Principal Marine Environment Officer of Dubai Municipality, Mr Khan, reporting that a dead dolphin had been found on the Jumeirah Beach Park.
I said: " Oh such a sad news…Thank you! Give me an hour and I will be there!"
Strandings are always sad events, and everybody wishes to see dolphins alive rather than dead. But not having any knowledge in resuscitation techniques yet, the only thing we can effectively do is to utilise the unfortunate animal to gather as much information as we can, to hopefully help the live ones. And a stranded dolphin is a pot of gold for researchers!
Within two hours a small team consisting of one skilled veterinarian, Dr. Ana Salbany, from Dolphin Bay Atlantis the Palm, Traill Stocker from Dubai Dolphinarium and myself were on the site.
It was indeed a dolphin. A small dolphin and surprisingly a finless porpoise!
This is supposedly the rarest species among the three species that are known to occur in UAE waters. It is a small dolphin and as by its name it has no dorsal fin. This, added to his shy and elusive behaviour makes even more difficult to sight and study them.
Very little is known about this species world wide, as very few studies have been conducted, despite the latest Red List Assessment having categorised this species as Vulnerable. Its preference of coastal shallow waters makes it even more susceptible to antropogenic impact.
Finding a dead finless porpoise is definitely a worrying sign and raises concern for the survival of this species (this is the fifth recorded stranding in the Gulf since the beginning of the year), on the other hand it is an indication that this species still occurs in this area.
We managed to collect all the necessary measurements and conduct a full necropsy. We determined that it was an adult male finless porpoise. We collected skin samples for future genetic analysis and examined all the organs. No sign of parasites were found and unfortunately due to the advanced state of decomposition we were unable to univocally determined if the cause of death could have been a boat collision or net entanglement. A full report has been compiled and sent to The Marine Environment and Wildlife Section, Dubai Municipality.
A special thank you goes to Mr. Khan, Dubai Municipality, for contacting us and to the great team that kindly agreed to join me at the site. It has been a successful first attempt and we proved that a stranding network could work if we create a communication channel and enough people that know the importance of reporting stranding.

Amanda is a party stylist and consultant from Perfect Little Party Planner . She styled an adorable whimsical Winter "One-derland" party for one of her clients this winter.
I enjoy working with Amanda. Her idea's and party style is so cute and clever. It's always so fun to see how it all comes together.
Here's Amanda's Winter "One-derland" party description in her own words:
I had the pleasure of styling a Winter "One-derland" themed party this past weekend for an adorable little girl. This party was such a great way to kick off the holiday season since I was also a guest! The birthday girl's mama chose the adorable "Winter One-derland" theme and I am in LOVE with the sweet pale pink, silver and white color scheme.
Oh the details…I wanted to transform the venue into a true Winter Wonderland so we hung lots of glittery snowflakes and blanketed anything we could with faux snow. We also placed a bunch of decorative trees all over to give it that holiday feel. Since it's December, I felt a Cocoa Bar was mandatory (even though we live in California and it was 80 degrees:). I found the kraft paper cocoa cups at Lola Loves A Party on Etsy and wrapped them in pale pink ribbon as "sleeves" and finished them off with an adorable sticker made by my favorite designer, Where The Green Grass Grows Designs.
The favor boxes were my budget-friendly detail…I found them in the dollar section of Target after Halloween for 70% off! They had black twine so I just replaced it with pink satin ribbon, added a sticker and the scalloped edges gave them such a delicate look.
I always like to add some sort of whimsical element to my parties which, in this case was the "Melted Snowmen", definitely my favorite detail. Party and Home Design did a fantastic job on the banners and cupcake toppers. The dessert table is always my favorite part of the party to style. As far as the decor, I found most everything at my tried and true trifecta of Home Goods, Marshalls and TJMaxx. The feather trees, which I absolutely LOVE, were from a local party supply warehouse and eBay. Jenny Wenny Cakes did most of the desserts…the cupcakes were Banana Chocolate Chip with buttercream frosting, she made the beautiful themed sugar cookies with the most intricate snowflakes, raspberry macaroons and the adorable smash cake. The silver snowflake cake pops were made by Simpy aMayzing Sweets and not only did they look cute but they were delicious (as always)! The dessert table was finished off with handmade Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Marshmallows with pink glitter snowflakes by Sweet Whips, they were to die for! All the party details were captured by Grace and Joy Photography. I had so much fun styling this party and am a little sad that it's over…

It must be Global Warming. It must be the overwhelming heat. What else could explain this city council's insistence on giving the Farm away (literally) to the non-profit group "The Ecology Center"?
They made a decision recently that they must think was very brave. They increased the rent for the Center's use of the Congdon House and the surrounding grounds (3/4 of an acre) from $680 per year to $1,200 per year. This works out to about 27 cents per foot per year.
This might sound like a substantial increase but really it is just a fraction of what the city should charge. This is like going from zero to ten MPH on a freeway. The City could be getting $18,000 per year. That's the going rate.
Yes, I know I shouldn't be criticizing anything green (BTW – Green is the new RED). I really am with everybody else when it comes to being a good steward of the planet. Everybody wants a clean environment.
But it drives me crazy that being environmentally minded has become a liberal issue. Why does this drive me crazy? Because it is due to the free market system (Capitalism) that we have attained a high enough standard of living to be able to afford environmentalism. Yet, many of the people who have claimed ownership of the green movement detest private sector business. They either don't understand, or won't admit, what got us here.
Also, the message underlying environmentalism is the idea that we need government to become better stewards of our planet. Somehow, they know better than we do how we should live our lives. They will make us do what they deem best if we let them.
With that in mind, I have a few comments to make regarding this lease agreement.
- The Ecology Center has an annual budget of around $250,000. They need to pay their way like all the rest of us.
- They serve only about 2,000 SJC residents a year, or slightly over 5 people a day. This hardly constitutes a "Public Benefit", nor are they filling a pressing need by any stretch.
- They charge hundreds of dollars for their "feel good" green dinners, with food and chefs donated at no cost to them.
- They can even afford to host events with speakers that are paid a $10,000 speaking fee. You and I are charged to attend.
- At $1,200 per year we taxpayers are not even getting close to break-even. It cost the City close to $500,000. to rehab the property some years ago and will cost us an additional several thousand dollars a year to maintain the property.
I don't want to beat a dead horse (probably not good for the environment) but this is the kind of bonehead decision this council makes over and over again. The Ecology Center has some prominent citizens who are protecting this "Sacred Cow" - choosing pet projects and "feel good" boondoggles that end up cheating you and me – the taxpayer.

How truthful was Nevin Shapiro in his bombshell allegations about the University of Miami football program? At least one person implicated by Shapiro in the story has come out to strongly deny any wrong doing on his part.
Michael Huyghue, now the commissioner of the United Football League, and formerly the owner of the AxcessSports Entertainment agency, has now furthered his claims that many of Shapiro's allegation are false.
In the now infamous Yahoo! Sports article Shapiro claims that he made payments to University of Miami players to ensure that they signed with Axcess:
According to Shapiro, the system for recruiting players to sign with Axcess Sports was actually compartmentalized between himself and Huyghue. The booster would use his close relationship with players to make an introduction to Huyghue, and then he would retreat from agency talk from that point forward and leave it to Huyghue to grow his own relationship and sign the player.
In that vein, Shapiro said it was also up to Huyghue to develop his own financial link to kids, providing his own set of extra benefits to athletes as he saw fit, including cash payments, travel and other inducements. And Shapiro told federal prosecutors that's precisely what Huyghue did, giving multiple illicit benefits, including cash, to several players at Miami. Claims that Huyghue called "fantasy."
Huyghue was quoted as denying the accusation in the Yahoo! story. Though, former running back Tyrone Moss and an anonymous player affirmed that Shapiro did set up relationships between players and Axcess.
Huyghue has now come out even stronger with his claims that the allegations are false.
"[Shapiro] invested in the company unsolicited in 2001, he had no other role," Huyghue has told the Jacksonville Times-Union. "You can call any of the other people at Axcess. We had quarterly meetings. I think he came to one meeting in seven years. I'm not sure what the motivation is [in implicating Huyghue]. I certainly didn't pay players."
"It's ridiculous. There's no substance to it."
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.

Huyghue claimed that Axcess only represented three players from Miami, and says that indicates there was no major scam going on to get Hurricanes to sign with Axcess.
"We only had three [UM] players in seven years. One of them, Jon Beason, originally signed with another agent. I never recruited him. He and his mother came to me after he thought the negotiations with Carolina [Panthers, team that drafted him] went badly. Jamaal Green was only a fourth-round pick. The other player, Wilfork, now I recruited him, but I didn't pay him a dime. We developed a good relationship. I was the best man at his wedding."
Though, just to play devil's advocate, as a the commissioner of a sports league, Huyghue certainly has plenty of reason to defend his name and ethics.

Dorm Room Dinner: Meaty Calzones
Of course once we got started, John had a hard time stopping! Then the calzones got pepperoni, two types of cheeses, etc. etc. But, you could make them as simplistic or interesting as you wanted! I threw a handful of mushroom slices in mine that was delicious.
Mine was so delicious I ate the whole thing! Probably not the best tactic if we're trying to be healthy! But, once in a while a treat never hurt anyone. I used a homemade dough, but to make these perfect for a dorm room, you can use a premade pizza dough, like K did. The homemade dough was delicious (of course, it was from Emeril!), although took about an hour to let it rise, etc. Being impatient like I am, I didn't let the balls of dough sit like Emeril suggests. Instead, I just rolled them out. It worked just fine.
Meaty Calzones
Serves: 2 calzones (2 people)
1 1/8 teaspoons yeast (1/2 package)
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup warm water
2 cups flour
1 cup pizza sauce
1 1/2 cups mozzerella cheese
1 pre-cooked hot italian sausage, sliced
1/2 cup pepperoni slices
Make the dough: Combine yeast, salt, olive oil, and warm water in a large bowl. Set aside for 10 minutes. Then, add 1/2 cup of flour. Using a wooden spoon, stir until flour is incorporated. Then add an additional 1 cup of flour. Use your hands to combine until a rough dough forms. Knead the dough for 7-10 minutes on a floured work surface. Add the remaining 1/2 cup flour a little at a time until the dough is smooth and elastic (it took all 2 cups for our calzones). Transfer dough to a large bowl that has been lightly coated in olive oil. Turn the dough once so olive oil is on both sides. Then, cover with a damp cloth and place in a warm area for 1 hour, until the dough doubles.
Make the Calzones: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Then, split into two even pieces and roll out into circles. Add pizza sauce to the dough, leaving about 1/2 inch on all sides. Cover the sauce with cheese, sausage, pepperoni, and other toppings, if desired. Then, fold the dough over itself to make a semi-circle. Using a fork, crimp the edges, and poke a few holes in the top to let steam escape. Bake for 15-20 minutes until calzone is golden-brown. Serve warm with additional pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
Obviously, you can skip the "dough" portion and just start at "preheat the oven to 400 degrees F" and use refrigerated pizza dough. I'm sure it works just as well, but I was too lazy to walk to the store to buy it and we had everything for the pizza dough from scratch in the house!
Until the next time my oven is on...

Ok, I was assuming a dual license of the current license plus the LGPL, which is equivalent to the current license because the permissions it grants are a superset of those in the LGPL. If you're talking about selective licensing, the problem you run into is getting approval from all of the copyright holders involved. There are 324 entries in the Wine AUTHORS file that I have on my system, and chances are that more than one of them would have to give approval for a new license for any given file within Wine. If people see a need to be able to license code under a license other than the LGPL, I see this as a strong reason to consider not switching to the LGPL at all, because of how difficult it would make relicensing.
