1902 E 14th A
I'm always excited to see some quality looking new construction in East Austin. This project by Forsite Studio is following the latest hot trend of modern barn houses. One thing I love about this trend is the more traditional house shape makes for a less glaring contrast to neighbors houses when used as infill. The tall form also allows for some really nice interior spaces that show off the volume. This particular unit has taken good advantage of that with double height ceilings in areas and balcony views from the top floor down to the first floor.

A quick post today as I'm on the road. I'm off to UBC Vancouver to see my neurologist. Only a 5 hour trip down there, an overnight hotel stay and driving back the next day.
Travelling is exhausting. My usual routine of being in my bed by 1pm by the very latest is upset. I don't get the quiet rest and sleep that I usually get and I'm surrounded by far too much stimulus. We don't even put music on in the van any more, as it's just too much for my brain.
Having the van and my chair means I can tilt my chair back and get some sleep that way. However, being in a vehicle and having to use all those muscles you never think about using every time the van goes round a corner or hits a bump is exhausting. I just can't explain it.
However, the weather is gorgeous and it is great to have a change of scenery. Road trip!!!

Have I No Mouth
11 October 2014
Merlyn Theatre, Coopers Malthouse
to 13 October
|Photo by Jeremy Abrahams
Have I No Mouth is extraordinary theatre. I was on the verge of tears for most of it, but it took me somewhere beautiful.
Co-writers and directors Feidlim Cannon and Gary Keenan are co-artistic directors of the Dublin-based company Brokentalkers, which they were among the founders of in 2001. Wanting to explore new forms that challenge everything about text-based theatre, the company creates what they call Live Performance, a collaborative process drawing from skills and experiences beyond theatre.
In Have I No Mouth, Cannon is joined by his mother (Ann Cannon) and their psychotherapist (Erich Keller). Ann and Erich aren't theatre makers.
Feidlim and Ann saw the psychotherapist together and individually to work through their ongoing grief and pain over the death of brother and son baby Sean when he was 15 hours old and Feidlim was 6, and the death of father and husband Sean when Feidlim was in his early 20s. Ann and Sean met when they were 15 and 16.
On his practice's website, Erich Keller describes how he forms a bond with clients to develop "hopeful and creative ways" to reconcile difficulties. The on-stage therapy, including counselling, dream work, object work, re-inactment and surrogacy, is taken out of the consulting room and made theatrical. Young Feidlim and his brother are life-size cut out photos. Ann talks to her young son. Feidlim dances. Erich becomes the father who visits in dreams.
They share how they found a way through the insanity, anger and farce – let's not forget the funny moments – of grief. Ann is a believing Christian and is now a colour therapist and practices Reiki (which is part of the stage ritual and telling), Feidlim made a piece of theatre that's taken him and his mum around the world. Neither advocate any way to heal and, for all its unflinching honesty, it's presented with a distance that allows for empathy without judgement.
It's a work about grief, but it's ultimately a story about Feidlim and Ann and the mother–son relationship and dynamic. It's written into the work but is so palpable on the stage that there's no question that either would ruin the "play" without hesitation if the other weren't feeling safe.
It also leaves us with so many questions. We might want to know what happened when Feidlim asked his mum to make a piece of theatre on their holiday to Spain, how they convinced the Erich to be involved, what happened with the legal case over Sean's misdiagnosis, how the other brother is going, or why we never see a photo of Sean – but none of this is part of this story, and none of our business. The unanswered and unspoken questions remind us that it is a piece of theatre, and that stories in theatre are rarely verbatim truth.
Have I No Mouth is harrowing and astonishing in its deeply human sharing of grief, but its catharsis is so real that it becomes a sharing of joy and hope.
PS. I think this is an unmissable piece, but last night I told two friends not to see it as their current experiences are too close.

Exercise Summary
The kettlebell swing is an explosive lower body exercise. The kettlebell swing builds a strong lower back, most significantly, Dr. Stuart McGill found kettlebell swings show a reversed polarity of posterior shear at L4 and L5 when compared to traditional posterior chain exercises, it's also a great exercise to build glutes and hamstrings and develops your grip. When performed for high reps it is a killer conditioning exercise and if done for lower reps, it is a fantastic movement to build explosive power.
Exercise Steps
- Stand at shoulder width with a kettlebell several feet in front of your body.
- Drive your butt back while keeping your shins close to vertical and reaching forward for the kettlebell with your arms.
- Pull the kettlebell back towards your pelvis while flexing your lats and maintaining a neutral spine.
- Stand up explosively and exhale.
- Hike the kettlebell back towards your pelvis and stand up again explosively for as many repetitions as desired.


text: I'd never played a PRS before but anytime I'd seen them on YouTube etc I always thought they seemed a bit 'meh'. Not very exciting in terms of tone or appeal. My father in law brought down his PRS SE 245 to let me try it (comparing it to my Epiphone Les Paul) and I have to say I am all turned round on the subject! Playing through my little Blackstar HTR-1 it produced a rather fantastic sound, and the guitar just felt great. I've never 'clicked' with another guitar the way I did with this one and I was genuinely surprised. It just goes to show that all the comparison videos in the world don't mean anything without actually playing said guitar! I love the grunt that my Les Paul gives, but the PRS had much more 'space' tonally, for want of a better expression. So today I purchased a used(but mint) 2011 SE Custom 24 from a FB guitar group. It'll be a few days before it arrive and to say I'm excited is an understatement. The Epiphone will have to go ( currently I'm a one guitar guy due to both space and finances) but I honestly don't think I'm really going to miss it!

Technical issues
Here are collected some discussions of technical aspects of GlowScript, which may be of interest to other software developers.
Pixel-level transparency based on depth peeling
Handling transparency correctly in WebGL is challenging. A standard technique is to order the centers of objects according to their z depth from the camera and render back to front. This approach can make serious errors in the case of intersecting or enclosing transparent objects, where some parts of one object are in front of a second object, and other parts are behind the second object.
A better approach is called "depth peeling", in which transparency is dealt with at the pixel level rather than at the object level. Consider for example a transparent sphere enclosing an opaque box, and carry out the following operations:
1) Render the pixels of the opaque box to a texture, which we'll call a color texture. This of course takes into consideration the lights in the scene. Call this color texture C0. Note that all opacity values (the "a" in rgba) are 1.0 for this opaque object.
2) Render the z depths (distance from the camera) to a texture, which we'll call a depth texture. That is, given the depth of a pixel, the fragment shader stores a false color into the texture, a false color whose 4 bytes represents in some form the depth. Call this depth texture D0.
3) Render the transparent object (the sphere) to a texture C1, but using information in the depth texture D0. In the fragment shader, read the (false color) depth from D0, and if the z depth of the transparent sphere pixel is not in front of the opaque box pixel, discard the pixel (using the "discard" statement in the fragment shader). Upon completion of this render step, C1 contains color and opacity information (rgba) for the front-most transparent surface, a hemisphere. This is called a "depth peel".
4) We now have two color textures, C0 and C1, which we can merge to form a scene with an opaque box and a transparent hemisphere in front of the box. Render a simple quad object (two triangles) that fill the canvas. In the fragment shader, read the color information from C0 and C1. Store a pixel color that is determined like this, where (1.0-C1.a) is the transparency of the transparent layer:
vec3 color = C1.rgb*C1.a +
These four steps illustrate the basic idea. In GlowScript, four transparent depth peels are performed rather than one, and 10 separate renders are carried out:
C0 -- opaque color texture
MERGE -- The final render is a merge of C0, C1, C2, C3, and C4:
vec3 color = C1.rgb*C1.a +
It may be that C2, C3, and C4 are all empty, but there is no obvious inexpensive way to get the information needed to tell the CPU to avoid scheduling those extra renders, because readPixels is very expensive. If there are more than four transparent layers, this algorithm will not treat them properly. However, note that the fifth and later peels will contribute little to the final pixel color, being partially occluded by four transparent layers in front.
Before starting the many renders the objects are sorted into opaque and transparent lists, and if there are no transparent objects a simple C0 render is all that is needed. Moreover, this simple render can exploit antialiasing, whereas the storage into textures for depth peeling unfortunately turns off antialiasing.
It is remarkable that doing 10 separate renders runs adequately fast for real-time rendering of moderately complicated scenes. For example, displaying a 10x10x10 grid of rotating transparent boxes can run at around 20 frames per second on ordinary computers, depending on the graphics card.
In OpenGL it is possible to create several textures in one render, but WegGL permits attaching just one texture to a framebuffer object, hence a large number of separate renders are needed.
To see this algorithm in action, run this Transparency example program.
Note that the code for this transparency demo is remarkably short. GlowScript is aimed at making it feasible for nonexpert programmers to exploit WebGL to generate navigable real-time 3D animations.
At https://www.glowscript.org/docs/GlowScriptDocs/technical.html, the key files dealing with depth peeling are lib/glow/WebGLRender.js and the shader programs in the shaders folder.
It is possible to implement "Fast Approximate Anti-Aliasing" (FXAA) to get around the problem that the use of framebuffer objects turns off anti-aliasing:
This has not been tried in GlowScript.
Mouse picking
Here is how mouse picking has been implemented in GlowScript. For an object with id number N, create a false color like this:
function id_to_falsecolor(N) {
We want to render the false colors of the objects to a texture the size of the canvas (need not be powers of 2):
var pick_texture = gl.createTexture()
gl.texImage2D(gl.TEXTURE_2D, 0, gl.RGBA,
Set up a framebuffer to render to:
var pickFramebuffer = gl.createFramebuffer()
// create depth buffer:
gl.bindRenderbuffer(gl.RENDERBUFFER, null)
At the start of a render cycle execute this:
After rendering all the objects, with no lighting calculations (so that all pixels of an object have the same false color), get the id number of the object under the mouse like this:
var pixels = new Uint8Array(4)
A non-power-of-two texture has restrictions; see
Note that antialiasing being turned off is actually what one wants for mouse picking because you don't want an object with id of 10 that is next to an object of id 30 to get picked with an id of 20, which could happen with antialiasing turned on, due to the averaging of neighboring colors.

Pioneer Industrial Keeps the Power Pumping.
The Right Tools for the Job
The technicians at Pioneer Industrial know that valves, pumps, fluid seals, and their support systems play critical roles in power sector operations. The correct selection, installation, and maintenance of these mechanisms can have a significant impact on energy efficiency, yield, productivity, safety, and profitability. Preventing leakage and mistiming is crucial to success. Of course, incorrectly selected, installed, or maintained mechanisms can produce damaging results. Eroded and malfunctioning valves can cause catastrophic explosions. Oversized pumps can waste fluid in steam-water cycling, lowering efficiency, performance, and profits. A cracked O-ring inside a fluid seal could lead to contaminants leaking into the environment. These are common problems that can happen to all electric power companies as energy cycle mechanisms can be both delicate and complex. It takes an experienced touch to assure the rotating equipment inside these seals is functioning correctly, aiding power generation, and helping to meet your demands for electricity. Whether your power plant sources energy from coal, water, or wind power, Pioneer Industrial's technicians are on hand to optimize your valves, pumps, and fluid seals.

Though we moved into our gut-renovated home in mid-May, we are still a long way from being completely moved in. The pace has unraveled and the loose ends are the ones hardest to tie up and tuck away. (Lamps to hang, switches to rewire, walls to repaint, a swatch of oiled floor in need of a redo, a drain cover to replace, a doorknob to mount, curtains to hem—and the fabric has not even been selected.)

June 9th: B'ha'alotecha
Rabbi David E. Ostrich
This week's Torah portion offers us a glimpse into the family dynamics of Israel's leading family. In Numbers 12, we read: "When they were in Hazeroth, Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman he had married: 'He married a Cushite woman!' They said, 'Has the Lord spoken only through Moses? Has he not spoken through us as well?' The Lord heard it. Now Moses was a very humble man, more so than any other man on earth. Suddenly the Lord called to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, 'Come out, you three, to the Tent of Meeting.' So the three of them went out. The Lord came down in a pillar of cloud, stopped at the entrance of the Tent, and called out, 'Aaron and Miriam!' The two of them came forward; and God said, 'Hear these My words: when a prophet of the Lord arises among you, I make Myself known to him in a vision, I speak with him in a dream. Not so with My servant Moses; he is trusted throughout My household. With him I speak mouth to mouth, plainly and not in riddles, and be beholds the likeness of the Lord. How then did you not shrink from speaking against My servant Moses!' Still incensed with them, the Lord departed."
"As the cloud withdrew from the Tent, there was Miriam stricken with snow-while scales! When Aaron turned toward Miriam, he saw that she was stricken with scales. And Aaron said to Moses, 'O my lord, account not to us the sin which we committed in our folly. Let her not be as one dead, who emerges from his mother's womb with half his flesh eaten away.' So Moses cried out to the Lord, saying, 'O God, pray heal her!'"
"But the Lord said to Moses, 'If her father spat in her face, would she not bear the same for seven days? Let her be shut out of camp for seven days, and then let her be readmitted.' So Miriam was shut out of camp seven days; and the people did not march on until Miriam was readmitted. After that the people set out from Hazeroth and encamped in the wilderness of Paran."
There is a lot in this story for us to consider. What is the actual complaint against Moses? Is there a connection between Moses' wife being a Cushite and the competing claim for prophetic power? What is a Cushite, and is this term derogatory? Why is only Miriam punished? What does it mean for God to speak to Moses mouth to mouth, or for Moses to behold the likeness of the Lord?
Some commentators think that Cushite is a reference to Zipporah, Moses' wife. While Cush is the Hebrew word for Ethiopia and Nubia—making Cushite a reference to a Nubian or Ethiopian, some scholars think it could be a reference to Zipporah's clan in the Midianites, the Cushan tribe. If it was indeed Cushan, then the gossip would be about Zipporah. But, if Cushite refers to Ethiopian or Nubian, then perhaps Miriam's issue is with her little brother's second wife—whose name is not given.
We do not know what concerns Miriam and Aaron, though their questions, "Has the Lord spoken only through Moses? Has he not spoken through us as well?" suggest to me a concern with the influence Moses' wife is having over the prophet. We all know situations where powerful people are caught between the differing influences of advisers or family members, and one can imagine Miriam and Aaron expressing their concern that their advice is not being heeded.
As for the punishment, it does not seem fair that misbehavior by both Miriam and Aaron brings about punishment for Miriam alone. Is this a matter of Biblical or Divine misogyny? Anything is possible, but the text gives us a hint that Miriam started the lashon hara (evil tongue/ gossip). In the opening verse, the verb for to speak against is in the feminine singular. In Hebrew, when a male and a female are doing something together, the verb form is both plural and male. In this case however, the verb form is singular and female. Perhaps older sister Miriam started the ugly talk, and Aaron was just drawn into it.
Another possible reason for only Miriam getting leprosy is that leprosy would render Aaron unfit for his priestly duties, and the whole Israelite people would suffer from not having a ritually-abled priest. On the other hand, Aaron had two sons who were ordained and who could function as priests—not high priests, but priests nonetheless.
The most important question regards the nature of Moses' revelatory experiences with God. When I read the phrase "mouth to mouth, plainly and not in riddles," or the statement that Moses "beholds the likeness of the Lord," my first thought went to Exodus 33. There God refuses Moses' request to "behold God's Presence." As God explains: "I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim before you the name Lord, and the grace that I grant and the compassion that I show. But, you cannot see My face, for man may not see Me and live?" Knowing then that literally seeing God face to face is out of the question, perhaps these terms are colloquial and metaphorical, with the real meaning being in the comparison between getting a revelation from God in a difficult-to-interpret dreams and direct communication—"plainly and not in riddles."
Or we could understand these words as a more mystical message. Since we know from Exodus 33 that the revelation from God is not face to face but rather in letting "all My goodness pass before you," then perhaps Moses' wisdom comes from reading the reality of God's goodness in the world, of perceiving the wisdom that is imbedded in the goodness of life. When one looks hard enough and understands what one is seeing, then God's goodness and God's message of goodness, kindness, justice, compassion, righteousness, lovingkindness, and grace is self-evident. We just have to look and perceive—as did our teacher Moses.

2. Meta Title
Meta title is used for passing records directly serps which lack direct access to it. The limit of Meta title tag is 55-60 characters.
Meta Title Tag – Code Sample
<title>Example Title</title>
3. Meta Description
The meta tag description tag in HTML refers to the 155-160 characters extract which summarizes the content of a web page. search engines like Google occasionally use these extracts to permit visitors to know what a web page is about earlier than they click on it.
Meta Description Tag – Code Sample
<meta name="description" content="This is an example of a meta description. This will often show up in search results.">
4. Unique Content
Content or Blog is what people look for, in special paperwork. It can be inside the shape of Wiki Pages, Articles, Video, Blogs or Social Media etc. The higher the best of your content material, the better will be your rating.
5. Alternative Text
The Google doesn't always examine the photo, google examine the Alt. textual content. That why Alt textual content could be very crucial in the on-page SEO. An alternative textual content is an HTML characteristic that is used for presenting an outline of a picture file's contents. one of the maximum commonplace makes use of opportunity textual content is to provide text for traffic who cannot view pictures of their browsers.
6. Image Optimization
In the simple word, we lessen the scale of the photo. Image optimization is the activity of lossy and lossless compression. The variations in photograph codecs are because of the distinction in the way lossy and lossless algorithms are utilized for optimizing an image.

7. Bold/Italic
Usage of bold/italic in content allows in highlighting important traces. It makes readers gradual down their studying tempo and examine in detail.
8. Hyperlink or Anchor Text
Anchor text content refers to clickable text in a link. SEO professionals prescribe that anchor text needs to be applicable to the page you're linking it to, rather than regular textual content.
9. Content is more than HTML coding
Continually don't forget, the website content material is greater than the HTML coding due to the fact the Google tests the content. If the content material may be very less than your page isn't optimized nicely.
10. Sitemap
A sitemap is an XML file that is full of URLs. it is the same as an archive of each internet web page in your net website online.
11. Robots.Txt
Robot. TxT is the permit or disallow the robotic (Crawler or Bot or Spider). internet site owners utilize the /robot.txt file to offer commands about their website to internet robots. this is known as The Robots Exclusion Protocol.

User-agent: *
Disallow: /about-us
This code means owner allow the whole website for the Google Crawler.
4. Allow indexing of a single file
The "Allow:" instructions let you tell a robot that it is okay to see a file in a folder that has been "Disallowed" by other instructions. To illustrate this, let's take the above example of telling the robot not to visit or index your photos. We put all the photos into one folder called "photos" and we made a robots.txt file that looked like this…
User-agent: *
Disallow: /photos
Now let's say there was a photo called mycar.jpg in that folder that you want Googlebot to index. With the Allow: instruction, we can tell Googlebot to do so, it would look like this…
User-agent: *
Disallow: /photos
Allow: /photos/mycar.jpg
This would tell Googlebot that it can visit "mycar.jpg" in the photo folder, even though the "photo" folder is otherwise excluded.

Handling all the donations your nonprofit receives can be a serious burden for your organization's team, especially if you're still operating on outdated software.
We know that donations have to be convenient and easy for both the donor and the receiving organization, so we've compiled the 7 most common issues that organizations run into while figuring out how to process donations.
Do any of these apply to your organization's current donation processing methods?
- I can't accept online donations.
- Donors want to give through ways that aren't a credit card.
- I don't know if my supporters' donations and information are secure.
- I don't want to stop using PayPal.
- Processing fees on cards are too expensive.
- I can't keep track of all my donors' gifts.
- I don't know what software to use.
Your nonprofit might be dealing with one or two of these issues, or all of them! But no matter where your organization currently stands, everyone can benefit from learning about donation processing best practices.
If you're ready to learn more, let's get started!
1. I can't accept online donations.
This issue comes up less and less every year as more nonprofits switch to digital database systems to keep track of their community of supporters, but it is the basis of ending your donation processing woes.
More and more donations are occurring through online fundraising software as opposed to the traditional methods of direct mail campaigns or in-person solicitations. If your nonprofit can't accept donations online, you might be missing out on gifts.
Some fundraising campaigns that rely on online donations are:
- Annual campaigns.
- Peer-to-peer fundraisers.
- Text-to-give fundraisers.
- Giving days like #GivingTuesday.
- Email campaigns.
Without software that can process credit or debit card information, your nonprofit might not be able to take advantage of these fundraising methods.
Thankfully, this problem is easily solved. Many software companies that create programs for the above fundraisers include online processing as part of their platform.
As your nonprofit upgrades its systems, consider investing in a platform that does everything: event planning, peer-to-peer fundraising, donation processing, and donor database maintenance are all functions your nonprofit's software could handle.
2. We need to account for donations that aren't made through a credit card.
While credit cards are the easiest way for many donors to give, some of your supporters might not have one, or only use it for certain expenses.
Don't forget about cash, check, and ACH debit donations! Cash donations are the quickest way for a donor to give to a nonprofit, because they don't require the money to go through any third-party members.
Check and ACH (automated clearing house) debit donations both allow a third party to pull funds directly from a donor's bank account and deposit them into the nonprofit's bank account. The only drawback to this type of donation is that the transfer isn't always instantaneous.
So how can nonprofits ensure that they can make the most of these non-credit transactions?
- They can make sure that their donor database software allows them to manually enter information from cash donations.
- They can make sure that their donation processor can handle non-credit transactions.
- They can include instructions on how to input information correctly from a check onto a donation form—not all donors are familiar with the numbers on the bottom of a check.
To learn more about the different payment options that different online fundraising platforms can offer, consider this list of considerations from Qgiv that breaks it down for you.
3. I don't know if my supporters' donations and information are secure.
This issue can be a scary one. How is a nonprofit supposed to build a culture of trust and support between themselves and their supporters if their supporters are at risk of theft or identity fraud just by donating?
Thankfully, this issue is an easy one to solve.
When your nonprofit invests in a new donation processing system, make sure that your options are all PCI-compliant. PCI means Payment Card Industry, and the Security Standards Council set up data security standards (DSS) in 2007 to protect people using cards for transactions.
If your donation software is PCI-compliant, that means that it is following all 12 of the DSS requirements and that your donors' information is as protected as possible by your software.
But PCI requirements aren't the only way to keep donor information safe. When looking for donation software, don't forget to ask about:
- Tokenization. This term means that sensitive information like a credit card number is replaced by a string of alphanumeric symbols, which makes the numbers harder to steal.
- Encryption. This type of security measure keeps donor data private by turning the data into "cyphertext", which can only be read with the right "key".
- Other fraud protection tools. These can include measures such as address verification systems, card number tumbling, IP blocking, minimum transactions, and more.
For more information on the security behind online payment processing, as well as more best practices for your nonprofit to follow, check out Double the Donation's beginner's guide to payment processing.
4. I don't want to stop using PayPal.
We get it. These options are super quick and convenient, especially for smaller nonprofits that aren't able to invest in nonprofit-specific fundraising platforms yet.
But you might be missing out on donations that you weren't even aware of because of PayPal. While PayPal is a secure way to process online donations, it doesn't have all the things a good donation page needs because it isn't designed to meet the needs of nonprofits.
Why might donors abandon a donation if they have to go through PayPal?
- Donors have to make an account on PayPal to donate. They might not have the time, or they may not care enough to sign up just to make a one-time donation.
- A PayPal account doesn't have your organization's branding or logo, which decreases donor confidence in your nonprofit.
- PayPal handles millions of transactions all the time. This creates a less personal experience for your donors, as well as less helpful customer service for both you and the donors.
- PayPal doesn't capture all the donor data you would want during and after a donation, and therefore makes your follow-up less effective.
PayPal is great for nonprofits just starting out. But as your organization grows, your software capacities have to grow with it, and that means investing in a PayPal alternative that will help your organization grow even more.
5. Processing fees on cards are too expensive.
The biggest downside to asking donors to give money online or through a credit card is that whatever system processes your donations takes a cut of your donations.
While this might seem unfair, there's no way to process a card transaction without those fees. So what's a nonprofit to do?
- Offer incentives to pay through cash or check, like free swag branded to your nonprofit.
- Choose a platform based on which has the lowest credit card processing fees.
- Choose a platform that allows the donor to offset the processing fees.
Of these options, our favorite is the last. Processors with lower fees might come with unexpected drawbacks, like lower security standards or fees hidden in other parts of your usage.
Some platforms allow donors to offset the processing fees as an option during their donation, which means that more of their intended contribution goes straight to your organization. For most transactions, this can be less than $5, and donors won't mind.
In fact, many of Qgiv's clients tell us that their donors prefer to offset processing!
Every fundraiser, from email campaigns to text-to-give drives, will be more efficient for your nonprofit if you don't have to worry about the costs of your software.
Just allowing the option to be placed on your donation form can decrease your processing fees. Not everyone will do it, but those that do will make a difference for your nonprofit.
6. I can't keep track of all my donors' gifts.
It can get complicated to understand all of your supporters' donations, especially when they're coming from different fundraising campaigns as well as through different mediums.
If your nonprofit isn't using a robust CRM or constituent relationship management software, you should be! Not only does keeping track of donor data make it easier to track donations and where they come from, it allows you to build stronger relationships with your donors!
Some important information to know about your donors is:
- Their previous engagement with your nonprofit. This means knowing which campaigns they gave to and how much as well as if they've volunteered for your organization.
- Their contact information, as well as their preferred method of communication. This ensures that you can remain in contact with them in the future.
- Their philanthropic history with other nonprofits. This can keep you informed on their passions and interests, which can help you communicate with them about the topics they care most about.
- Any wealth indicators like SEC holdings, or real estate or vehicle ownership. These markers may indicate that they could become a major gift donor for your organization.
Whether you're investing in a new CRM, a new donation processing system, or a software that does all of the above, you need to consider if the systems can communicate or flow information easily.
A software that does both would be the best, because you never have to worry about losing track of a donor post-donation if the software automatically captures donor info.
7. I don't know what software to use.
We've thrown a lot of different variables to consider at you in the past few sections! Now is your chance to put those features to work for your nonprofit.
There are so many different donation handling platforms out there, all with different pros and cons. No single platform is perfect for every nonprofit, so instead we've compiled some lists for your perusal, and you can decide which software is right for your organization.
- Here's a list of the top online donation tools if your nonprofit is already a pro at handling all sorts of donations and is ready to take things digital.
- If your nonprofit is about to start a crowdfunding campaign and doesn't need to invest in an in-house donation processor yet, check out this gathering of crowdfunding websites for nonprofits of all shapes, sizes, and missions.
- For help on everything from choosing the right online donation software to running a capital campaign, your organization should consider taking on a nonprofit consultant. Their expertise can help your nonprofit move forward and continue its growth.
Making any investment in new software for your nonprofit can be overwhelming and difficult, but there are resources available everywhere to help your nonprofit make the right choice.
Donation processing can be a difficult task, especially as your nonprofit is transitioning from an older system to a newer one or is growing rapidly.
Though there's no single perfect answer, there is a perfect system out there for your nonprofit if you look far enough and consider what your individual nonprofit needs.

I have a confession to make and a question to ask.
First, the confession. The only thing I could think to blog about tonight was lame. It wasn't writing, blogging, or even reading related. I trashed it only part of the way in – none of you wanted to read that. I've written unrelated posts before (most recently during my moving adventure) but this one was particularly random.
Second, the question, aimed primarily at the bloggers. If you start a lame post and realize that it sucks, do you trash it or post it anyway? I know a couple of you mentioned a few days ago that no post is a better option than a bad post – is this the general consensus?

Over the last few months I've been working on creating a totally self-contained WordPress A/B testing plugin. It's called Ingot, and we released version 1 right after christmas.
Since I did almost all of the development myself from scratch I was able to do it all "the Josh way" and refine what that even means. This allowed me to put a lot of my opinions on WordPress development to the test. I shared a lot of what I learned in yesterday's post.
Ingot was in many ways written around around the REST API. The custom endpoints we built are used for the Angular app that Roy Sivan and I created for the admin screen. It's also used in a very small front-end JavaScript file for tracking conversions, failed conversions and cache busting.
Today, I wanted to follow up yesterday's post with what I think it means to create a WordPress plugin using the REST API. Next week, I'll talk about the business and product design lessons I learned from Ingot. The design decisions that went into building the Ingot REST API will be a big part of that discussion.

As most people reading this know, I spent a lot of time over the last year or so thinking about how the WordPress REST API will change how we build WordPress plugins, themes and apps. I think this change is big and has to do with how the use of WordPress is changing.
WordPress didn't get to 25% market share on blogs and it's not going to get to 50% or whatever that way. The growth comes from eCommerce, publishing, membership sites, inbound marketers etc. These are all users that can benefit from being service providers.
I think that those of us who empower these users by giving them the tool need to make their sites have to think API first. Your plugin's interaction with the client is going to be more and more coming through the API.
That doesn't mean WordPress plugins are suddenly all JavaScript magically. Your custom REST API routes are PHP code that you write around the rest of your plugin.
If the code they wrap must be solid and sufficiently decoupled from input method — if you call GET or POST in your CRUD still you're not going to make this transition.
The hype around the WordPress REST api has been about the default routes and that might be exciting to you if you do front-end work. But the real potential in my mind is that your plugins can be repurposed SAAS service more easily and that your users can become service providers themselves.
The Developer End User
Too often, when creating a plugin that is designed to be simple to use and not require technical knowledge, we forge that there are still developers as end-users. Keeping developer end-users happy is super important as they are often decision makers that choose whether or not their client uses your product or not. They are also likely, if happy, to become evangelist for your project.
The ability for developer end users to be able to customize and integrate with your plugin via your REST API as an alternative to learning the WordPress hook system is a big deal. It opens more doors and more opportunities. It means more integrations, more contributions and more potential developer evangelists.
Angular + REST API
I originally thought I would use the plugin generator that David and I use for CalderaWP plugins. I couldn't make it work with the original DB structure I had. The first Ingot demo used a really bad UI I hacked together. I wrote a ton of PHP code full of admin-ajax callbacks and functions hooked to init in order to check for incoming form submissions. By all objective standards, it sucked.
So, I taught myself AngularJS.
Since I was trying starting at a Jon Snow-level understanding of AngularJS, I was bugging Roy Sivan for help a lot. Roy ended up doing a lot of the heavy lifting for me and now pretty much owns the Ingot UI. That's awesome because I don't like UI work and he's better than me.
But, I did learn a ton about Angular. What I learned enabled me to write all the example code for the last section of my WordPress REST API course — Angular front-end for WordPress sites. I really like Angular and the angular-ui router. It's a really great way to work. It almost makes me wish I made WordPress sites so I could make them with Angular.
Our admin doesn't look very WordPress. It's a very standard Bootstrap, which is a common pattern that I hope people are used to using. I would love to get a WordPress admin Bootstrap theme made soon though.
I've spent a lot of time in the past trying to force the MV* pattern on WordPress, which is insane for a lot of reasons. Using the WordPress REST API to provide data to Symfony or Angular is really great, and fairly simple.
A WordPress plugin, like any product is only as good as its interface. I'm convinced that working with Angular and custom WordPress REST API endpoints was the right decision in terms of UI/UX. It also means we have a solid REST API to use if we make an Ingot SAAS product or if end users want to use it.
This Is The New Way
At this point, I don't think it makes sense to build a plugin without its own set of API endpoints. Doing so requires a PHP CRUD that is sufficiently decoupled from input to work seamlessly with the API. Writing your plugin knowing you will use the REST API makes dependency injection in your class design a necessity.
That's going to be an issue for a lot of older plugins, and the backwards compatibility challenge is also there. I think it is worth the rewrite though, if this is an issue. This will make your plugin more easy to unit test, which is a great bonus.
Older plugins also have to deal with backwards compatibility concerns. Ingot requires WordPress 4.4 or later. It's a new plugin so we don't have a user base to worry about alienating. It's a concern for me in my existing plugins, and we will see how that plays out as I modernize them to work around the REST API.
I will, because I think that plugins that do not embrace this new way risk being left behind. For new plugins, the REST API-first approach makes sense. It leads to better admin experiences, easier interfaces and allows your plugin to more easily become a part of a stack that is not totally built in WordPress.

Both actor Michel Duran and Fashion photographer Marc de Vinci enjoyed some fine moments during their early summer 2017 European trips. One was on the West coast of France near La Rochelle, enjoying what this old harbour has to offer in food and sightseeing during a lifestyle photoshoot in rural Charente Maritime while Marc was busy with Spanish models shooting in Barcelona.
When the two reunited on the slope of North Vancouver that the photographer calls home to prepare a coming shoot featuring the Julbo Vermont Classic sunglasses, they started elaborating on ideas for their next shoot for the Fall. They contacted Fashion stylist Melissa Graf and on August 25th , the three gathered at 10:00am at the Cafe Calabria on Commercial Drive. The direction of the shoot was then decided: two business and two casual looks with a few accessories (watches, leather bag and sunglasses). The location would be a mix of concrete urban and residential with, if possible, some fall colours. The shoot was set to take place September the 14th.
When preparing a shoot, Marc likes to take enough time to feel things out. With the direction in mind, most of the time on his bike, he explores various areas in the city and comes up with mockup images, sending that to the group and adjusting his shot after everybody's feedback.
Finally, the right location was found with a mix of interesting backgrounds both in terms of colour, architecture and landscape.
The day of the shoot the team gathered and very soon found their marks. As everything had been precisely prepared, everybody knew what to do, when and how. The weather was indeed very cooperative and allowed a smooth process logistically wise, with an early morning start and at noon the magical "it's a wrap!". The final step was then in Marc's hands to edit a first batch of photos from which a final selection was done.

Why Trump Is Good for the GOP
Republicans should be thanking the billionaire for sending them a most necessary message.
Donald Trump is giving the GOP a tax-free gift, paid for entirely with his own personal funds. His pro-free market rivals, along with GOP leaders, consider his capitalist wealth to be their collective curse. But instead of trying to kill the messenger, they should be thanking the Queens, New York, native for footing the bill to send them a most necessary message.
Since Black Friday killed its winning pre-Depression "prosperity" message, the Grand Old Party has failed to develop a new, compelling and sustainable economic platform. Likewise, since the fall of the Soviet Union neutralized their Cold-War era "peace" message, the Republicans have failed to develop a new, compelling and sustainable replacement creed. And without such mighty themes to unify an inherently factionalized national party, the GOP is asking for its fissures to be exploited.
Story Continued Below
Just look at the long list of opportunistic and wealthy presidential adventures to take advantage of the message vacuum in the post Cold-War era, from Ross Perot's third-party challenge in 1992, Steve Forbes' self-funded attempt to win the GOP nomination in 1996, and "The Donald's" 2000 try at the Reform Party presidential nomination to Michael Bloomberg's flirtation with a 2008 independent run and of course Trump's posturing during the 2012 election cycle.
Trump2016.com is merely the latest quadrennial installment in this presidential election saga, complete as always with disdain from the "serious" candidates and the "mainstream" press. But rather than spurn the disruption, the GOP would do well to focus on what's going wrong. It isn't complicated.
From 1896 through 1928, Republicans employed a powerful prosperity message to win seven of nine presidential elections. The Democrats, in 1896, chose William Jennings Bryan, a vocal prairie populist from Nebraska, to lead the party into battle against Ohio's Republican Gov. William McKinley. The 36 year-old Bryan, a former two-term congressman little known outside of the Great Plains, mesmerized delegates with a now legendary "Cross of Gold" speech attacking Midwestern and Eastern financial interests for manipulating the currency to hurt Southern agriculture and Western mining states. Bryan tried to build an Electoral College majority from these old economy states, blatantly gearing his entire campaign to an inflationary economic policy far more favorable to debt-plagued rural town framers than laborers in industrial state towns and cities fearing it would erode the purchasing power of their wages. This effectively tethered Democrats to rural America's static past, leaving Republicans to champion the dynamic industrialization creating a new middle class.
As the Industrial Age grew to dominate the new economy, working families, including waves of new immigrants, increasingly identified with the Republican prosperity message. By the 1920s, the Democrats had lost three landslides to three different GOP candidates, a debacle unequalled in the modern two-party era. Only one Democrat—New Jersey Gov. Woodrow Wilson—managed to reach the Oval Office. His initial victory in 1912 resulted not from the power of the Democratic message, but rather the legendary split between Republican President William Howard Taft and his mentor, former GOP chief executive Teddy Roosevelt, running as the nominee of the Bull Moose third party. Wilson got roughly the same percentage vote as the average for the two previous Democratic nominees, but this time he only needed a plurality. Four years later, Wilson managed an upset re-election victory on a peace message, falsely leading voters to believe he had no intention of getting America involved in World War I.
Shortly after Republican Herbert Hoover rode the GOP's prosperity doctrine to yet another landslide triumph, the stock market crashed on October 24, 1929. And three years after "Black Friday," the presidential election approached with the nation mired even deeper in the Great Depression. The economic collapse had caused voters to lose confidence in the GOP's prosperity message. Democratic challenger Franklin Delano Roosevelt accepted his party's nomination by promising "a new deal for the American people." But he carefully refrained from proposing specific, detailed spending plans—even his advisers weren't certain what FDR would actually ask Congress to enact. The shrewd New Yorker, the only American ever elected president four times, knew voters didn't need much encouragement to give him a landslide victory over the namesake for the Hooverville shanty towns spread across the desolate economic landscape.
From 1932 through 1948, Republicans belittled FDR's New Deal domestic initiatives, saying these policies prolonged the Depression, and urged voters give the GOP's prosperity message another chance. But in doing so these Republican leaders rejected a key aspect of the winning pre-Depression conservative message: Previous GOP presidents such as McKinley and TR didn't see the federal government as the enemy to economic progress; they wanted a limited federal government yet accepted its rightful, albeit curtailed, role in the modern economy. Voters, who knew FDR's reforms had improved their lives immeasurably, had little patience for the Republicans' 24/7 anti-government argument, which appeared then—and now—out of touch with most peoples' own experiences.
The result: From 1932 through 1948, the Democrats won five straight presidential elections.
As news spread of a successful Soviet A-Bomb test on August 29, 1949, and a post-World War II economy returned to normal, voter focus began to shift away from economy to the growing "Red Menace." Anti-communist fears were exacerbated by Wisconsin Sen. Joseph McCarthy's Wheeling, West Virginia, speech on February 9, 1950, charging Democrats with allowing "known communists" to operate inside the federal government. And just a few months later, in June, a surprise North Korean attack on South Korea, a U.S. ally, pushed the United States into a bloody, unwinnable Asian land war. Then on April 5, 1951, Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were convicted and sentenced to death for giving American nuclear secrets to their spymasters in the Kremlin.
The 1952 presidential election featured the ideal Republican candidate given this rising anxiety: legendary D-Day Commanding Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. The likeable IKE won a landslide victory on a combined military and foreign policy doctrine he called "safety in strength," morphing later into the more politically clever "peace through strength" message. This political theme unified the Grand Old Party's various factions, thereby creating a dominant force in presidential politics. Between 1952 and 1988, Republicans won seven out 10 contests, five by landslides as many conservative anti-communist Democrats backed the GOP. The three winning Democratic presidential nominees—John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson and Jimmy Carter— strongly backed the Eisenhower peace doctrine.

Surrey Section's Henry Dulat Talk on Motorcycle Electrics 9 May 2018
Surrey Section's Henry Dulat Talk on Motorcycle Electrics 9 May 2018
Henry Dulat began his talk by explaining to us all that motorcycle electrics are seen by many as a black art, but that really it's not that difficult a problem. He went on to explain the workings of electrics to being rather akin to a water system whether it being home plumbing with a header tank or a canal system. The height of the header tank being the voltage and the amount of water flowing is the current. So a large pipe is like a fat wire in that it can allow more water to flow for a given head of water. A thin wire like a thin pipe would offer more resistance to the flow of current. Various metals are generally used for electrical conductors with the better conductors including, gold, silver, aluminium and copper. Generally copper is used as being the best compromise for cost, flexibility and the ease of use.
It is important that on a bike all the current is made to flow along the wiring, and not be assumed to flow along the frame of the bike, there should not be any flow through the head bearings as this could cause a rapid deteriorations.
Alternators and dynamo's generate electricity by spinning magnets or electromagnets as the magnetic field cuts through the generator coils. Both systems generate an AC voltage, though the dynamo converts this to DC voltage via the commutator, where as the alternator requires an external rectifier. This generated voltage is related to the speed of the engine, so the higher the RPM this will give more voltage.
Henry went on to discuss the sort of problems that come up with bad wiring, poor switches and also bad connections, especially of the crimped variety. Henry used a magnet and a piece of metal to pass through it and this demonstrated the magnetic pull of the field inside the magnet as the piece of metal passed through it. It also showed how much the rotating armature inside a dynamo and alternators as to how much they have to over come to be able to generate electricity.
Also covered were ignition systems and how to obtain bigger and better sparks. Henry brought along many electrical items to demonstrate his talk, and also showed us how it all would work, in both practice and the theory of those components that he had brought along to illustrate his talk. Our club room was packed with very eager listeners who wanted to understand so much more about the eclectics on their bikes so therefore make them perform so much better. Henry always being on hand to help those in dire need when the electrics on their bikes cause problems when leaving to go home on so many occasions.
Can I thank Henry for taking the time and the effort to prepare for his talk and coming along to demonstrate it all and to explain in basic terms how it would all assist us by getting better electrics for our bikes? Henry is the boffin for the Surrey section and we are so very grateful that he is a member of our section, with such a huge in-depth knowledge of both electrical and mechanical subjects. Henry also helped with the many corrections for this article.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- Warnings from companies on both sides of the Atlantic sent shares of European firms tumbling in U.S. trading Thursday.
The Bank of New York European ADR Index fell 1.02 points to close at 109.72.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.59% and the Nasdaq Composite $COMPQ also fell sharply, after General Motors GM, -1.09% reported a sharp drop in U.S. sales in June, and an analyst said he expects Intel's INTC, -1.65% third-quarter revenue to come in below expectations. See Market Snapshot.
Among the individual movers, Colt Telecom COLT fell $1.95, or 33 percent, to $3.95 after the company warned that it doesn't expect to meet expectations for the second-quarter and the fiscal year.
France Telecom FTE, +1.42% lost 70 cents, or 3 percent, to $25.58 after AFX News reported that the European Commission will make the company repay one billion euros in state aid to the French government. France Telecom will appeal the ruling, which could come this month, the report said.
Shell/Royal Dutch declined after the company said it would take a $330 million after-tax charge in the second quarter for various exploration assets after drilling several unsuccessful exploration wells and completing extensive geological studies. It also said it would sell its Peruvian retail, commercial and marine businesses. Shares of Shell Transport & Trading SC, -1.00% were off 18 cents at $44.52 and Royal Dutch RD was down 6 cents at $51.61.
Nokia NOK, +2.72% managed to stay in the plus column, rising 11 cents to $14.65 after Deutsche Bank upgraded the Finnish handset maker to "buy."
"The challenges represented by the first-quarter trading afford an opportunity to buy into Nokia at an attractive level. We expect margins to continue to be in the high teens and that we will see Nokia's market share stabilize," the broker said.

The governors said the series of scandals that have so far rocked the current administration have become embarrassing.
Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state spoke for his colleagues during the opening session of the 76th PDP National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting in Abuja.
He said: "If we don't expose them (APC government), nobody will do so.
"The APC is now in many scandals, we have to keep our voices up to expose them. Armed robbers calling people thieves, who are the armed robbers now?
"We must tell the whole world that the PDP is the best place to be; the last convention was applauded. I want to believe that this one will be the same.
"In this convention, there will be winner and loser, but in all, the party must win.
"The fact that you did not win should not make you to destroy the party."
Present at the meeting are; Emmanuel Udom of Akwa Ibom, Nyesom Wike of Rivers, Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia, Dave Umahi of Ebonyi, Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta and the deputy governor of Bayelsa state, John Jonah.
TariTaribo'sBlog, (TTB), earlier reported that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) demanded that those involved in the reinstatement of Abdulrasheed Maina, the former chairman of the Presidential Committee on Pension Reforms, must be punished no matter how highly placed.
The Nation reports that the call for the sanction came from the national publicity secretary of the party, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, who spoke with journalists at the APC secretariat.
