IMMEDIATE RELEASE BLACKSBURG, Va.,– After another extraordinary camp last summer, Kevin Jones and a few of his NFL friends will facilitate a two-day camp this summer, June 22-23 on the Virginia Tech Rec Sports SRA Fields.
Ages 6-10 participate from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and ages 11-17 participate from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. All skill levels are welcome. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Boys and Girls Club of Southwest Virginia thanks to camp sponsors: Bull and Bones Brewhaus and Grill, Coca-Cola, Dick's Sporting Goods, Hilton Garden Inn Blacksburg, Rita's Water Ice and more.
Participants will learn from on-the-field instruction. Jones, among other NFL athletes and local coaches, will provide the experience of a real NFL training camp to young participants. The campers will break into groups according to age and positions to learn the fundamentals and proper techniques specific to each position. Campers will also participate in health and wellness seminars and team-building activities.
Kevin Jones of Chester, Pa., was the highest-rated recruit in Virginia Tech history. He is now a local football celebrity due to his success at Virginia Tech. In 2004, Jones was drafted in the first round by the Detroit Lions. Since then he has played for the Detroit Lions and the Chicago Bears.
"Our son had a wonderful experience at Kevin's camp. The coaches went above and beyond to assist all of the campers. Each camper got individual attention and assistance with all of the drills. Our son was able to take the drills he did at camp and use them when he played in the fall. The NFL and Virginia Tech players were awesome interacting with all of the campers and making sure everyone was getting the most out of the camp. Our son is already talking about going to Kevin's camp again this summer," said Terry and Kim Cobb, parents of a camper from last summer.
"I am excited about the camp this year. We had great support from the Hokie Nation last year and we are looking forward to improving on last year's successes by teaching the campers both football and life skills that will help prepare them for success at any level," says Kevin Jones.
Mike Goforth, Associate Director of Athletics for Sports Medicine at Virginia Tech will offer an informative, in-depth look at concussions. Campers and parents will learn prevention techniques, best case practices, how to recognize the symptoms, and a guide for returning to play. He will also include tips about hydration, diet, and overall wellness to help the athletes stay healthy year-round.
On the last day of the training camp, participants will receive a gift bag, take a team photo, and enjoy an autograph session. The autograph session is for campers only, and only camp memorabilia will be signed.
Camp registration and pricing information is available online.
In an effort to remind campers of the importance of education, Kevin is personally sponsoring 10 campers who would like to attend his Youth Football Training Camp. In order to apply, interested participants must submit a 250-word essay on why education is important and how an education prepares you for life on and off the field. The essay is due no later than 5 pm on May 24th and may be submitted via e-mail. The winners will be announced via the camp website, on Wednesday, May 29th.
Local coaches who are interested in volunteering at the camp are encouraged to register at the camp website. Free parking for the event is available in the Chicken Hill Lot. Find more parking information online or call (540) 231-3200.

All You Need to Know About Organizational Evaluation
Ganesh Bhosale
Oct 30, 2018
The motive behind evaluating an organization is to ensure that its programs are managed effectively against established sets of standards, laws and regulations, management controls, policies, etc. It is important that procedures are implemented and followed as required.
The only man who behaves sensibly is my tailor, he takes my measurements anew every time he sees me, while all the rest go on with their old measurements and expect me to fit them.
―George Bernard Shaw
With the advent of globalization, organizations all the over the world are facing steep competition, not only from local companies, but from global competitors as well.
It's not only about delivering a quality product for world citizens, but an art of first surviving in the market and then making profits. In such a market, where perfect competition exists, one has to go in for a constant evaluation and introspection of his organization.
Organizational evaluation or assessment measures compare and analyze the coherence between results and specific objectives, and between specific objectives and general objectives of institutional projects, programs, or plans.
Evaluation is an important aspect of improving the administration in any organization. It plays a very important role in helping managers improve the efficiency and effectiveness in their operations.
It can act as an instrument to create confidence and generate support of the people for research programs, and put forth their activities in a transparent and effective way to its shareholders.
Depending upon the time of evaluation, it can either be Ex-ante evaluation or Ex-post evaluation. When the evaluation has been conducted before or during the implementation of a task, it is known as Ex-ante evaluation. Ex-post evaluation is carried out after a task is completed.
Evaluation can be carried out in an integrated form or with respect to certain departments. When it is carried out for the entire organization, the result is apprised with goals and objectives, and the quality of the result is calibrated with predetermined standards.
When it is carried out separately for each department, it is necessary to determine the importance of the task performed and role played in the result by the respective department.
Coordination between different departments is always an important aspect of any evaluation process. Communication within the workplace should generally be followed with proper protocols, but it should be from top to bottom and vice versa. Horizontal communication should also be promoted in an effective manner.
The three vital elements in an evaluation process are the organization, the assessment team, and the employees who use the assessment results. To effectively carry out the evaluation process, the assessment team must be aware of power hierarchies, decision-making policies, organizational culture, and other internal and external intricacies.
Organizations should provide formal coaching to an assessment team before carrying out this process.
Employee assessment plays a vital role in building a good rapport and cordial relations between the management and the employees. Employee evaluation should be carried out in a friendly atmosphere, with minimum formalities. They should be given an opportunity to speak out openly.
Interviews can be conducted in an informal and unstructured manner to gauge employee satisfaction level. People like recognition for the work they do, and mostly wish to talk about it. They like to share their problems, conflicts, perceptions, and achievements.
Organizational development also depends upon how conflicts are managed. Conflicts in any organization are inevitable, but it's the skill of the management as to how they integrate those conflicts and differences in opinions in an efficient manner. This would help the evaluation team learn more about an employee's motivational level in the organization.
Job satisfaction assessment can also be carried out by distributing questionnaires to the employees. When the questionnaire is self-administered, the employee can choose from alternative answers and do the coding. The questionnaire method is economical and can be used on a large number of people simultaneously.
Responses can be easily tabulated and statistically analyzed. Some important factors that influence evaluation are impact on organization, timing of evaluation, adaptability with change, commitment towards evaluation, public relations, reputation, and affiliations.
The most important advantage of organizational evaluation is that it generates reliable information, which then becomes a valuable experience, and is very useful for future planning, establishment of priorities, and resource allocation.
Edward, Lawler, Nadler and Cammann quote in their book Organizational Assessment: Perspectives on the Measurement of Organizational Behavior and the Quality of Work Life, "The utility of the organizational assessment does not lie in the meticulous care with which it is conducted, but in the results and recommendations, which should be of use to the clients.
Meaningful implementation of the recommendations is a critical phase in the organizational assessment exercise. The results will only be usable when they are in consonance with the needs of clients and are operational for improving organizational functioning".

I hope your weekend was lovely. We spent Thanksgiving with close friends (and the pets, of course)
Gracie was sick (so she got an extra dose of love)
The guys were in charge of our traditional Thanksgiving dinner (for the most part)
Pepper was mostly interested in food (and tennis balls)
Oreo chose to go on a kitty vacation (a.k.a. hiding out in my studio)
After the guests left Sunday morning, I decided to give the studio a thorough cleaning.
I felt like the Energizer bunny - literally. My battery died sometime between 3:00 and 4:00.
Thanksgiving leftovers and snuggling with latest copy of this was the perfect ending.
That and fumigating Sophie for the second time in as many days.

- The New York Times reports that futures markets could be in for another rough day. The Dow Jones industrial average tumbled another 200 points this morning, one day after Dow suffered a 1,175-point plummet, it's biggest by-points drop in history. The slump returned the market roughly to its level in mid-December. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump, who took credit for rising stocks in January, has remained mum on the historic drop.
Live by the Dow, die by the Dow? President Trump has linked his political fortunes to the stock market, but hasn't mentioned Monday's drop. https://t.co/Fx36iz0G5F— The New York Times (@nytimes) February 6, 2018
- The Ada County Highway District has closed off Eagle Road between Fairview and Pine avenues, causing a major traffic meltdown during the Tuesday morning commute. The cause is linked to a major water main break. "It's going to cause widespread backups this morning," read a statement from the Ada County Highway District. Eagle Road, one of the highest volume surface streets in Idaho, carries 54,038 cars a day. The closure could stretch into the evening commute as well.
- Boise Police have identified six suspects, all juveniles, in a rash of vandalism where golf balls were used to smash house and car windows in north and southeast Boise neighborhoods. BPD said that since January 13, there have been over 30 reports of damage caused by golf balls. Police are crediting the public for sending video and images from home surveillance cameras to investigators. The case has been handed over to prosecutors to determine charges.
- Following retirement announcements from Elton John and Neil Diamond, Paul Simon now says he too will stop performing and his upcoming "Farewell Tour" will be his last. The 76-year-old Simon pointed to the recent death of his lead guitarist and a greater desire to spend time with family when explaining his decision.
- Think of Monday's exclusive gathering in Hollywood as a grade school class picture day. A total of 170 Oscar nominees were invited yesterday to a luncheon and group photo shoot. The Hollywood Reporter says the Motion Picture Academy makes sure that no more than one nominee from any film or category is seated at the same table. For instance, a single table held legendary director Steven Spielberg (The Post), best supporting actress nominee Octavia Spencer (The Shape of Water) and best documentary feature nominee JR (Faces Places).

Persistently Resilient
During my first bike ride with Jenna, which we did in Meg's honor, I reflected on the seemingly insurmountable trauma which occurred in our lives during 2014. Watching the deterioration of my mother, selling her home, and placing her in a nursing home. Watching my wonderful, beautiful Rachel blow her knee out while doing what she loves best – playing volleyball. Watching her struggle for 5 months recovering from a difficult knee surgery. Seeing the psychological/physical decline of my lovely Jenna. Losing her to a dark and sad place in her mind. Finding a still undefined mass in Jenna's brain, weeks of her not sleeping, her ever increasing aggression/anxiety, and the ultimate punch – deciding to hospitalize her.
That year truly brought me to my knees, stripping me down to the core of who I am. Yet, one month after we took her out of the hospital, I am biking with my daughter, listening to the sweet sounds of her laughing and blowing kisses to those we pass, as we honored a woman who has brought so much to others. I find myself standing again. Shaky, but standing and facing the sunlight.
Through my life, I am honored to come in contact with so many individuals who face different but equally difficult issues. They struggle so on a daily basis that it makes my heart ache. Yet they get up the next day, to do battle again.
Persistently Resilient.
This is a mantra I have borrowed from a dear fellow traveler, Leslie H.
Persistently Resilient. It is the ability to work with whatever adversary life throws at you in such a manner that you come through it unharmed and changed for the better because of it.
Persistently Resilient. It requires that one face these adversaries head on, with courage, with love, and with tenacity.
Persistently Resilient. It means never ever giving up. You may stumble and drop to your knees, but after a pause, you struggle to your feet and you stand again, ready to do battle.
Persistently Resilient. It means that you have a clear understanding that you must move on, that it is vital to those who depend on you.
Persistently Resilient. You find that spot in your soul where that clarity of determination lives in all of us, and you hold fast to that sense of purpose and you move on.
Persistently Resilient. Life grows and is supported by a community of people who come together from all walks of life. We support each other in ways that are not always clear, but are felt by all who need it. We may not know each other personally nor may never meet face to face, but through these random acts of kindness, we all learn to lean on and support each other.
Persistently Resilient. Remember, our lives are all filled with unlimited possibilities.
"In the midst of winter, I finally learned, there was in me, an invincible summer"
Albert Camus.

Good morning! It is Tuesday!! :) This only takes a few moments to do but gives to you for much, much longer. So put down whatever you are doing and take a couple of minutes for yourself. Every Tuesday morning I am going to ask you to write down 5 things that you are grateful for and email them to me (keep for yourself as well). What are you feeling gratitude around? Here are mine for this week:
New York City.
Being Friends With Ex's.
Kate Hickl.
Sarah Shattuck.
There are no right or wrong answers. It is about what you are grateful for. It is proven that doing this once a week for three months (actually just 9 weeks) makes you happier, healthier, exercise more and less sensitive to perceived slights. You will sweat the small stuff less and focus on what really matters.
So… what are you waiting for???
Food for thought:
Keep on keeping on. Grow, Be, Do. All that you are working towards now will come to fruition, just believe.
"Patience is waiting. Not passively waiting. That is laziness. But to keep going when the going is hard and slow - that is patience." ~Anon
What are you wanting to change in your world? Where are you looking to go? Set the idea fast in your mind. See it. Breathe it. Believe it. You must continue to work, to sweat, to act. Hold onto the vision of your future, work hard in the present, and all that you dream will be yours.
"Patience and fortitude conquer all things." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

The Quest for Mami Swagger: Ripped in 30, Day 1/
I started working out past 11 p.m. I had a long work day but, my smart ass posted a status update on the fan page and lo and behold, here comes Dario Moore, resident creative fine man of The Center for Contemporary Dance and someone I had the pleasure of sharing the stage with a million years ago.  He comments that he's about to start his hour and a half insanity workout. What can I say, even exhausted from a full day, I'm a sucker for a little competition especially when it's with another dancer (granted he's in MUCH better shape than I am!).
So what do I do? I walk the dog, put the food away, serve my lunch for tomorrow and THEN start working out.  What was I thinking?  As our old dance teacher used to say: I am sucking bad wind!  As I type, Jillian is talking through the last few minutes of the workout.  Sister girl, I'm here to tell you that on day one, I can't stay with you! And I am totally going to blame it on it being so late. I only missed the last minute.  And I did go back to stretch.
Now for a quick shower. Â I am leaving the coffee pot set for the morning along with the frog princess's bottle (and I hope to not get those 2 mixed up). Â I should probably pull my clothes out of the closet and take my bags out to the car. Â I wonder if baby girl can climb into the truck on her own? I don't know if I'll be able to pick her up.
Stay tuned! Day one of five is done! In a month's time, I'll have some muscle back and I'll feel great! Â So, what are you doing for yourself this summer? Â Me? I'm paying someone to kick my ass from the TV and trying not to yell at her so I don't wake up the baby (or maybe I'm secretly hoping she wakes up because then I'll get a breather!).
Oh and if you are ever looking for some great dancing, be sure to visit Dario. He'll be sure to work you out and help bring back your mami swagger!

Writing and Pain
I haven't posted in a while. A lot has been going on in life and work. Writing has been more of a comfort than a passion.
A lot of writers find their voice amidst pain. I can't say that's necessarily been the case for me. I started writing because I wanted to follow the story to see what sort of life my characters might find. My first stories were about my stuffed animals and my American Girl doll. They had adventures and fought off bullies, but never anything too tragic.
Today, many of my stories have a much darker tone. Lately my characters have been experiencing the kind of pain that often breaks a person.
I didn't plan for my characters' pain and my pain to coincide. The trajectory of the plot was already in place.
And then my pain came too.
I wonder, does the pain in my writing instigate pain in my life? Or am I just more aware of the pain of life because I can process the pain in a story?
Or is there some enigmatic force causing the story of life to happen at the same time as the created story?
Maybe all three?
I suppose it doesn't really matter. All that really matters is writing stories with characters who experience pain helps draw the real pain out and give it some meaning. While my original stories were about wolf puppies who needed to find their mom, my current stories are about people who are just trying to get from one day to the next and find some joy and meaning amidst their struggle to survive.
They say art mirrors life. I always seem to find my life reflected in my creation.
Which makes me wonder: did pain help me find my voice after all?

Over the past 50 years, the importance of various raw textiles for the home textiles industry has changed greatly. Up until the middle of the 20th century, the demand for textiles was met primarily using natural fibres. Today, natural products make up only about 12 % of fibres consumption for carpeting, while chemical fibres account for around 88 %. The various raw materials fall into the following categories:
Wool is the oldest and best known fibre for making rugs and carpets. The varieties and qualities are as varied as the names and breeds of their supplier, the sheep. The approximately 450 different breeds produce a wide variety of wool types, which are differentiated by country of origin. Only sturdy and robust wools are suitable for making carpets, and carpeting manufacturers select these very carefully. The high elasticity of wool provides for fast recovery, so that the appearance is uniform at all times. Thanks to its ability to absorb moisture without feeling damp to the touch, it helps to maintain a comfortable humidity in indoor environments.
The common belief that chemical fibres are a modern invention is not entirely accurate. As early as the 17th and 18th centuries, the English natural philosopher Robert Hooke and the French physicist Réamur published their ideas for producing "artificial silk". However, it was not until the end of the 19th century that the Frenchman Count Chardonnet actually achieved this. At the Paris Exposition in 1884, he presented a fabric made of artificial fibres.
The first chemical copper rayon was spun in Germany in the last decade of the 19th century. Artificial acetate silks came to market shortly after the First World War. The history of synthetic fibre materials began on July 4th 1913. On this day, the German chemist F. Klatte, employed by "Chemische Fabrik Griesheim Elektron" applied for a patent for a method of producing fibres on the basis of the polymerization reaction of vinyl compounds. Initially, this invention had just as little practical application as the invention of the German Nobel laureate H. Staudinger, who created the first synthetic fibre in 1927, out of polyoxymethylene.
On July 3rd, 1931, the American chemical company Du Pont & de Nemours & Co applied for a patent for the production of polyamide fibres. A team of scientists, led by Dr. Wallace H. Carothers, succeeded in synthesizing what we today know as nylon, made out of hexamethyline diamine and adipinic acid in a form suitable for spinning. Du Pont brought this product to market in 1938 under the trade name Nylon 6.6.
In 1938, the German chemist Paul Schlack developed a further method for producing polyamide (patent application dated November 11 1938), using norleucine as his starting material. By heating lactam with hydrochloric acid, Schlack succeeded in obtaining a linear polyamide. The process did not violate the intellectual property rights of Du Pont and resulted in the production of Nylon 6, which was marketed under the trade name Perlon.
The numbers 6 and 6.6 indicate the number of carbon atoms in the respective polyamide components. "Poly" means many, and refers to the combination of small molecules to form bigger ones. To make polyamide yarn, the polymer is melted at approx. 250 °C and pressed into spinning nozzles. The thin, solidified strand pressed out of the nozzle is then stretched to many times its length, which creates a strong, extremely thin filament. Thicker yarn, that is required for making carpeting, consists of bundles of filaments. In texturing, the yarn is changed in a physical or chemical process from a smooth filament yarn to form Bulked Continuous Filaments (BCF), gaining the volume necessary for the manufacture of the carpeting. In addition to filament yarn, there are also spun fibre yarns. In this process, the spun threads are joined to form a cable, which is then stretched, crimped and cut to the desired length.
In the next step, these fibres are spun to make yarn. The main difference between spun fibre and filament yarns is that filament yarn consists of infinite filament bundles and spun-fibre yarn of short twisted and spun fibres ("stapled fibres"). By itself, the chosen fibre material is not always the optimum solution. By blending, it is possible to combine the advantages of one fibre with those of another. One of the most widely known blends is 80% wool with 20 % polyamide. Today, in addition to polyamide, manufacturers can also use the synthetics polyacrylic, polyester and polypropylene.
However, polyamide is by far the most important raw material for carpeting in all Western European countries.
Spinning is humankind's oldest craft. Sculpture has been found in Asia Minor showing a woman spinning that dates back to the first millennium. Originally, a small band of fibres was drawn out of fibre material, wool and leaf fibres between the thumb and forefinger, and twisted and wound into thread by the turning of a spindle.
The first spinning wheel was built in 1530. The first carding machine for separating fibres was built by John Wyatt in 1736. In 1795, James Heargreaves designed the first spinning machine. In a spinning factory, the randomly ordered spinning fibres are first aligned in parallel and then processed into bands of fibres by means of a series of mechanical processes. The agglomerated fibres are opened in a series of matched opposing rollers and then passed downstream (carding engine).
The fibre bands are then cleaned of any impurities, drawn and at the same time, evened. The refined fibre band is transformed into spun fibre yarn through twisting (spinning machine), i.e. the parallel band of fibres is reinforced. This process gives rise to adhesion between the fibres, making the spun material more stable. By means of this process, the spinning fibres – mostly short and medium-length fibres – are spun into a relatively coarse, voluminous, fibrous yarn with a unique yarn character.

This was prompted by frustrations with his daughters' school apparent obsession with enforcing a school uniform policy at – in his view – the expense of focusing on the 'core business of education'. In sharing his concern with colleagues in the Policy Institute a debate ensued on 'what is the evidence that school uniforms improve academic achievement and behaviour?'

Proposed New Regulatory Regime for Equity and Loan Crowdfunding
Crowdfunding can be explained as a source of raising money directly through a small or large number of people who all put different amounts of money towards an end goal and usually through the medium of the internet. It has gained in popularity over the last ten years and is now a multi-billion dollar global industry.
The Isle of Man Financial Supervision Commission ("FSC") has recently released a Consultation for a proposed new regulatory licence status for crowdfunding in order to bring about an element of protection for investors / lenders in such crowdfunding ventures. The Consultation has defined a number of different definitions but the most widely known are equity, loan, reward and donation crowdfunding. Reward and donation crowdfunding are not under review for regulation by the FSC but more the loan and equity crowdfunding activities.
The regulation of loan and equity sourced crowdfunding ventures are deemed an important development by the FSC in order to secure a degree of protection for those participating in such ventures and also to clarify the current situation whereby crowdfunding activities may overlap existing financial legislation including Class 2 Investment Business as well as Money-Lending activities. It is proposed that a new class of regulated activity be created separately for crowdfunding which will require application from experienced persons / businesses with a background in lending and financial services as well as being able to satisfy fit and proper tests.
The Consultation closed on 12th June 2015 and the results of the Consultation should be announced in autumn 2015. It is hoped that this particular new regulated activity will offer the Isle of Man a new and exciting financial offering and provide new business opportunities for existing and new financial providers.

Review: Three Parts Dead
I am constantly confronted with how much great fantasy there is that I haven't read yet. Three Parts Dead was first published in 2012, and there are already five entries in the Craftworks Sequence way out here in 2017, five years later. I think that's another thing that gives me such heartburn when I read things I end up not liking, because I know that there's so much waiting for me out there that I'm probably going to greatly enjoy.
Three Parts Dead is a great first entry. It's got great worldbuilding and scene setting on par with anything contemporary. A story that never takes itself too seriously as it weaves the fantastic in with the mundane. A cast of characters that are decidedly human in their inhumanity. By that I mean, that no one is normal in this world. Which is fascinating for a book that takes on the stability of society as one of its primary themes.
Everyone in this novel is on a path to stretch themselves beyond what mundane humans could even dream of. A pursuit that stretches both their bodies and minds in ways that often enter the realms of the phantasmagorical. Allowing for development of both plot and character in directions that just aren't possible for books rooted here on Earth. It's one of the reasons that I love fantasy. Why be normal?
As the plot moves forward I did find that the wide scope of the story doesn't come together as cleanly as I would have liked. At it's heart the story is a detective story, and in some ways solving that simple story of "Who dun it?" contrasts to sharply with the more extravagant reaches of the story. But it holds on to it's heart long enough to send me off to the second instance with a lot of anticipation about what's coming next. Three Parts Dead gets three out of five.

How To Dispute Unauthorized and Wrongful Charges/
In personal finance, budgeting and savings are the staples to being on a fruitful financial path. Staying knowledgeable about purchases is helpful to reach the end goal and it only takes one wrongful charge to throw everything off.
I personally don't carry much cash on me because I've learned I end up spending it all, or I lose track of it in couches and clothes pockets. Using cards allow for a smaller wallet and better tracking of my spending. After purchases, I can log into the accounts and classify transactions to analyze when the time comes. Keeping a close eye on each transaction makes it easy to identify any charge errors that will occur. This is the modern method to balance a checkbook. It's great when everything checks out, but when unauthorized or wrongful charges happen, the panic can be overwhelming.
I've had 2 instances when I had to dispute such charges. The first one was a few summers ago while getting drinks at a baseball stadium. This was a great trip that turned sour after returning home and checking my transactions. The drink that was supposed to be $10 showed up as $100. I disputed the charge through my bank account logon under the transaction and within 2 weeks, I was refunded the extra $90 charged. I'm sure this was just a data entry error on the restaurant side, but everything little thing matters when living paycheck to paycheck.
There's are so many booking companies based overseas. Why are people in Europe able to help me book a room better than local people?— K.P @ Hungry Being (@hungry_being) October 11, 2017
The second time was for an unauthorized hotel charge. A friend was getting married out of town and getting a hotel close to the venue was a hassle. After some research, the best deal I could find was through Bedfinder, an online booking agency. The room had to be prepaid at the tune of $237, so I made sure to send all the digital receipts to my email. I got to hotel on the date of the wedding and was asked to present a credit card. Assuming this is in case of damages to the room, It didn't even phase me. I check my account transactions after the trip and realize the hotel charged my card another $137. Having being in the situation before, I contact both Bedfinder and the hotel, with a few receipts in hand, they were able to resolve within a month.
If I'd never taken the time to check my accounts periodically, these extra charges would have eaten into my funds. It's always important to log into the accounts dashboard and vet any charges as data entry errors happen all the time. I have been checking mine weekly so I can be ready at all times. Some banks even offer real time text notifications of charges and that may be of value. In case of a wrongful or unauthorized charge, be prepared to contact the venue that charged or enter a dispute through the bank. Be calm, and be ready to fight while giving any required documentation. Never be charged for something that you did not pay for.

... I was initiated into a very special and solemn aspect of adulthood, time-honored and inviolate. What is it, you ask? Education? Graduation? Employment? Marriage? Parenthood? Taxes?
No, the rite of passage of which I speak is that sacred Christmas Eve ritual, the Assembly of the Presents.
This year there was only one, a blue and yellow tricycle with a push-handle (since her legs can't reach the pedals). After we returned from the Christmas Eve gathering and put the Wunchie to bed, I was pretty tired and just wanted to sleep. But instead, I brewed some tea and put on a movie, and sat down with 1) several dozen screws, washers, and strange pieces of metal and plastic, 2) one set of instructions (in English, Spanish, and French), and 3) every screwdriver and allen wrench I could find in the toolbox. I couldn't have felt more liturgical if I had been blessing the communion elements. I read instructions and watched the movie, and lost several nuts and washers amongst the couch cushions, and thought about how many times my parents must have done this for me. I remembered the glasses of milk and plates of cookies we left for Santa, and how they were magically consumed by the time we awoke, and how exciting it was to find the little note that read, "Thank You." (Even now I can remember just how it looked, and can now realize that it was, in fact, my dad's distinctive handwriting.) Did they split the cookies, and did those carrots we left for Rudolph just go back in the fridge?
I also remembered one more recent Christmas, before I was married, that I spent with my mom's family in south Texas. With four grandchildren in the mix, there were lots of adults assembling toys in the living room that Christmas Eve. And the whole thing took on an almost surreal feel for me. This, it seemed to me, was an enactment of a serious duty, a commitment to maintaining the excitement of a young child's Christmas. They'll know the truth about Santa soon enough; for tonight, the mystery remains, and it rests squarely on the shoulders of these committed elves, preparing the feast for the morning.
This sounds pretty corny, I know. But as I sat with those tools and instructions, I was struck by how... significant it felt to be assembling that little tricycle. Knowing that at that very moment, parents near and far were doing the same thing, for the same reason -- to make their children happy, and to allow them that precious, all too fleeting season of genuine childhood. Soon enough, the mysteries will be more complicated, and harder to find. Here's to a fresh and unspoilt gift of a tricycle, and of wonder.

Pocket Pack Rats
You really should not put anything large and heavy in your trouser pockets, but if you have a large George Costanza wallet and like to break the rules - buy pleated pants. They tend to accommodate pocket pack rats better.
3 Pocket Picks
There are three main types of pockets on men's trousers. There is the on seam pocket, the off seam pocket and the J pocket. While the on seam pocket is the most formal of them all, the off seam pocket is equally acceptable.
The J pocket which is more commonly found in jeans should be reserved for nothing higher than a smart casual level of dress. The on seam pocket is exactly what it sounds like. It is the pocket that is in line with the seam on the outer leg of the trouser. This type of pocket is similar to what is often called an invisible pocket in women's clothing. The most practically useful pocket is the J pocket. Things tend not to fall out of the pocket when you sit down. Inseam pockets apparently create a slimming effect on the wearer. Our personal favourite is the off seam slanted pockets. They are easy to access and very popular and common.
Back Pockets
Back pockets, both one or two back pockets are considered appropriate. Back pockets should not hold anything that ruins the shape of the trouser. They are to have no flaps as flaps are seen as more casual and can be adorned with one button each.Your call gentlemen.

Sinusitis fungal sicknesses are isolated into four sorts. The segment uses upon the experts that are building up the ailment and the seriousness of the circumstance. Myeloma fungal sinusitis this sort of fungal illness is typically called fungal ball sinusitis. The illness is because of the format of fungal spores in the nose depression, particularly inside the sphenoid or maxillary sinuses. This is caused by the bread write family by and large known as aspergillums. The general population who are encountering myeloma sinusitis frequently experience nasal block utilizing one a player in the nose and moreover nasal solidness. Unfavorably susceptible fungal sinusitis this is viewed as a standout among the most generally perceived sort of sinusitis as a result of a fungal contamination. More habitually than not, this condition happens when offered inside their condition to fungal components in people who can develop a protected reaction.
This sinusitis fungal infection is because of a fungus from changing aria, particularly the, the dematiaceous family and curvularia assortment, that are to a great degree visit in nature. Undesirable symptoms are introduced by such circumstance, for instance, nasal impediment and nasal polyps. These polyps could dishearten the nasal openings, which comes about to unending inconvenience of the sinuses. Culminant fungal sinusitis this issue is regularly found in individuals, who have powerless safe stage, by the by could comparably be a result of experts who can be invulnerable suppressive. While the infection spreads, this causes end of the bone holes inside the sinuses, which gives your head and the guests. That is viewed as destructive among all nose pollutions.

The operator noted Monday that it would provide "a daily benchmark price in U.S. dollars" every 24 hours, as well as the real-time price "based on transactions and order book activity" from cryptocurrency exchanges Kraken and Bitstamp, according to a press release. The rates are already available online on both the CME Group and Crypto Facilities websites, and will be provided to the CME Group Market Data Platform starting June 4.
In a statement, CME Group managing director and global head of equity products and alternative investments Tim McCourt said "the Ether Reference Rate and Real Time Index are designed to meet the evolving needs of this marketplace. Providing price transparency and a credible price reference source is a key development for users of ethereum."
Similarly, Crypto Facilities CEO Timo Schlaefer said:
"Ether, the second largest cryptocurrency, experienced incredible adoption and growth in 2017, evolving into the leading blockchain for smart contracts. We are excited to be contributing to the strong community that has developed around the Ethereum network by providing a reliable reference rate and real-time Ether-Dollar price."
The new indices will be overseen by the Bitcoin Oversight Committee formed by CME Group, Crypto Facilities and other industry participants, according to the release. This "oversight committee will regularly review the methodology, practices and standards to protect the integrity of the reference rates."
The news comes just days after Crypto Facilities began trading in ethereum futures, as previously reported by CoinDesk. The platform announced it was launching the first futures contract for the token through a regulated platform on May 11.
Crypto Facilities notably provides CME Group with reference rates for the latter's own bitcoin futures.

Florida Tax Collector to Accept Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash Payments
A Florida county tax collector has partnered with bitcoin payments processor BitPay to accept cryptocurrency for a variety of services.
Seminole County Tax Collector Joel Greenberg said in a statement Monday that his office will take bitcoin and bitcoin cash for payments associated with driver licenses and ID cards, automobile tags and titles and property tax.
The office decided to accept the cryptocurrencies in an effort to streamline fee collection, reduce the potential for fraud and identity theft and increase the transparency and accuracy of payments. Greenberg's office added that it does not perceive any "price volatility or risk to the County" in accepting the cryptocurrencies.
Greenberg said in the statement:
"The aim of my tenure in office is to make our customer experience faster, smarter and more efficient, and to bring government services from the 18th century into the 21st century and one way is the addition of cryptocurrency to our payment options."
The collaboration with the Seminole County Tax Collector marks BitPay's first government partnership. Head of compliance Jeremie Beaudry said the company was launched because "we recognized the potential for blockchain to revolutionize the financial industry, making payments faster, more secure and less expensive on a global scale.
"With the Seminole County Tax Collector's office, we have engaged our first government agency to accept bitcoin and bitcoin cash by making it easy and seamless for them," he added.
However, Greenberg's office is not the only local government entity that has entertained the idea of accepting cryptocurrency for taxes.
Arizona and Georgia lawmakers both proposed bills this year that would allow citizens to pay their state tax liabilities in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, though neither bill made it through their respective legislatures.

Thailand Commences Cryptocurrency Regulations Today
Crypto Law In Effect
The Thai government's decree to regulate cryptocurrencies and initial coin offerings (ICOs) goes into effect on Monday. The Digital Asset Management Act BE 2561 was approved by the Thai cabinet in March and has been amended since.
The revision of the Revenue Code No. 19 was also announced in order to tax crypto profits at 15%, according to local media. Finance Minister Apisak Tantivorawong previously said, as reported by the Bangkok Post:
It [the decree] was not meant to prohibit cryptocurrencies, initial coin offerings (ICOs) and other digital asset-related transactions, but to protect investors.
Power to the Thai SEC
According to the decree, the Thai Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has the duty and the authority to regulate digital currencies and their operators, Matichon reported.
The publication outlines four areas the SEC will be responsible for. The first is to regulate the issuance and offering of cryptocurrencies and digital asset businesses. The second is to set the fees and requirements for the registration and approval of cryptocurrencies and their operators. The third is to establish a guideline for dealing with potential problems. The fourth concerns all other areas not previously mentioned.
"All sellers are required to register with the SEC within 90 days of the law taking effect," the Bangkok Post wrote, adding that:
Sellers of digital tokens unauthorized by the SEC will be fined no more than twice the value of the digital transaction or at least 500,000 baht [~US$15,703]. They could also face a jail term of up to two years.
The news outlet elaborated that "the [finance] ministry and SEC will now work on organic laws requiring all digital asset transactions, including those of digital asset exchanges, brokers, and dealers, to be registered with the relevant authorities according to the decree."
Despite the new rules and direction presented in the decree, the Bank of Thailand (BOT) says that it will wait for the SEC to announce other details of the regulations before it will make a stance on cryptocurrencies and ICOs, according to Matichon. The BOT has previously banned financial institutions from crypto activities.

Winklevoss-Led Gemini Becomes 'World's First Licensed Zcash Exchange'
Gemini has become the "world's first licensed Zcash exchange," the company announced on Monday.
The New York City-based cryptocurrency exchange — which was founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss— today revealed that it will open zcash trading markets (ZEC/USD, ZEC/BTC, and ZEC/ETH), which it says makes it the "first licensed Zcash in the world."
Zcash will be just the third cryptocurrency listed on Gemini. At present, the platform supports trading pairs for bitcoin and ether.
"Zcash picks up where Bitcoin left off," Tyler Winklevoss, CEO of Gemini, said in a statement, adding "Bitcoin has many strengths, but privacy is not one of them."
"Bitcoin and Zcash are two revolutionary technologies vying for different mantles," added Cameron Winklevoss, the exchange's president. "Bitcoin being digital gold and Zcash being digital cash."
The addition of zcash — a privacy-centric cryptocurrency — is notable, given that Gemini is regulated by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), whose "BitLicense" framework is considered to be one of the most strict regulatory regimes faced by US cryptocurrency exchanges.
The exchange said that it went through an extensive approval process with the NYDFS before formally deciding to support zcash trading. At launch, users will be able to make deposits from both shielded and unshielded addresses, but they will only be able to withdraw funds to unshielded address — likely due to concerns over compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations.
"This action continues New York's longstanding commitment to innovation and leadership in the global marketplace. With smart and thorough regulatory oversight, the development and long-term growth of the industry will remain thriving," said Maria T. Vullo, superintendent of the NYDFS.
ZEC markets will officially open for trading on Tuesday at 9:30 am EDT, but customers can begin making ZEC deposits on Saturday, May 19.
Notably, Gemini supplies pricing data to Chicago derivatives exchange CBOE, which was the first regulated US platform to create a bitcoin futures product. CBOE has not been shy about its desire to list more cryptocurrency-based derivatives, so the addition of this asset to Gemini could hasten the production of zcash futures.
The NYDFS has also given Gemini approval to list bitcoin cash and litecoin, though the exchange has not yet announced plans to do so.
The zcash price surged following the unexpected announcement, peaking as high as $345 on Bitfinex before settling down to a present value of $331. This represents a 24-hour increase of approximately 32 percent.

It's no secret that I love musical theatre so when I discovered BroadwayCon was a 'thing' last year, booking a flight to NYC and grabbing two friends to take along too was a no brainer.
However, as the programming for the January 27-29 weekend was released, it dawned on me that I was going to be surrounded by hordes of superfans. "I'm too old for Hamilton CosPlay or screaming fan girls waiting in line for an autograph and photo with their favourite star!", I proclaimed. After all, I am a serious 'musical theatre academic'. I wrote both my undergraduate and postgraduate dissertations on the form, I write musicals, I'm particular about rhyme and song structure, lyrics and orchestration, and…. oh, wait! I was every bit a superfan as the others in the room.
But as the three days of talks, discussions and performances went on, it dawned on me that BroadwayCon was less a musical theatre geek-out and more a life-affirming celebration of why art matters. This last fortnight has seen a dark political storm brewing not just in the USA, but across the world. Being in New York City at such a time as this was both terrifying and amazing. The climate of fear is palpable, yet through art we find a release: a chance to shine light on the darkness, to pick us up when we fall, to reflect the world and all its scars, and ignite action, education and unity.
Sometimes I look at commercial theatre as a money-hungry juggernaut, but I forget it all comes from a community of artists, fans, and creatives grateful of a large platform on which to share their stories. That community, just like ours at Starling Arts, supports and welcomes everyone, regardless of who they are. The BroadwayCon stage was filled with people reminding us that in art we have a home. Even if the government, or sometimes people closer to us, try to build walls and tear us down, we can battle back with our fight song… together.
From Lesli Margherita championing us to all rule our own kingdom, to Jeanine Tesori reminding us that democracy and theatre arrived around the same time because of each other (see this video), BroadwayCon reminded me that art will always be rooted in politics, identity and acceptance. We're not all that different! We must all respect and love each other. For, to quote Lin-Manuel Miranda at the 2016 TONY Awards, "Love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love; cannot be killed or swept aside", and right now, just as always, that's what's going to get us through.

General Assembly 2018 Teaser Site
This teaser website was to entice current conference goers in 2017 to attend the conference in Tel Aviv in 2018. The challenge here was to show two events of the same importance on one site. To ensure the design was smart and functional, we conducted user testings and we landed with a clever split screen design that was both simple, engaging and to the point.
Creative director: Mooki Saltzman Graphic Design: Champa Lo & Marcea Decker
Website, desktop & mobile
Lo-fi wireframe and user testing was conducted before launching the site. We had the idea to split the screen to show off both events, but was worried that our users would not understand how to navigate the site. After user testing with INVISION, we were happy to see that people weren't confused at the initial split screen at all.
When user first enters the site, they receive a pop-up promo to get users to pre-register.
User chooses between two options to see full details.
After testing, we discovered people really wanted easier access to 'Contact Us' to get more information about the event. Since we wanted the site to be as minimal as possible, we designed the 'Contact Us' button to stay at the bottom of the browser. When clicked on, the contact form appears.
Mobile site has easy access to register and 'Contact Us'.
