Matrix is a responsive, intuitive tile-based theme which is inspired by Metro design. The tiles can be made 'live' to display more information on the screen without occupying more space.
This WordPress theme comes with 10 pre-defined colours and an advanced but easy-to-use admin panel. It is highly customizable to suit the needs of every user. Unlike conventional designs, each tile can be customized to create any design you can imagine!
All the files are coded with valid HTML5 tags and CSS3, and are Search Engine Optimized (SEO) using valid HTML5 semantic tags for each section and are written in decreasing order of importance down the page. For instance, the title and content of an article comes before the comments and sidebar within a HTML file, and titles are enclosed in h1 tags to signify their importance.
The theme is also optimized for speed. It is faster than most of the top-selling themes in the WordPress category here. With WooCommerce compatibility, you can sell your products to millions of website visitors with this blazingly fast theme.

$10 Cover @ the Door / Start 8:30pm / Doors 8pm
Emma Frank featuring: Aaron Parks, Rick Rosato & Tommy Crane
Depending on when you walk in on a song, Emma Frank's music might sound like folk or jazz, even R&B. It's music that never stays put, full of moving parts, shifting tempos and winding melodies. Her new album, Ocean Av, featuring Aaron Parks, Jim Black, Rick Rosato and Franky Rousseau, is due out February 2018 on Susan Records.
Emma's heartfelt songs are journeys of self-discovery, framed by insightful lyrics and her warm, gossamer voice that Leif Vollebekk describes "like leather on silk." Emma Frank has performed at Festival International de Jazz de Montreal, at NXNE, Pop Montreal, and the Toronto Jazz Festival.

Two (formerly three) newcomers mount strong challenges to Anita Bonds
In the June 19 Democratic primary for at at-large seat on DC Council, incumbent Anita Bonds — on the council since 2012 — faces young challengers running viable campaigns. Housing affordability and inequality appear to be emerging as critical issues in this race.
As chair of the Committee on Housing and Neighborhood Revitalization, Bonds occupies a critical role on issues of affordability in the District. Challenging Bonds are two, formerly three, millennial men: real estate associate Marcus Goodwin and environmental organizer Jeremiah Lowery.
Aaron Holmes, who works in communications and ran for the Ward 8 Council seat in 2016, petitioned to be on the ballot but was disqualified for not having enough valid signatures after a challenge by Lowery.
Bonds, Goodwin, Holmes, and Lowery all filled out our questionnaire, as did David Schwartzman, who is running unopposed for the Statehood Green nomination. The Elections Committee has asked to speak further with Bonds, Goodwin, and Lowery.
Bonds, the housing chair
In her role leading the housing committee, Bonds has overseen a number of policy and program changes to housing — including affordable housing — in the District. The Housing Production Trust Fund has been maintained at $100 million a year, and her office has put forward a number of bills to reform and close loopholes in DC's rent control policy.
Most recently, she proposed and won a major change to DC's Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act (TOPA), carving out an exemption for all single-family homes. Some realtors and homeowners have praised this move, but many affordable housing and tenant advocates are irate.
The latter say Bonds and her staff had been leading a working group to reform TOPA with adjustments both realtors and tenant advocates could agree on, rather than exempt all single-family homes. Then she suddenly reversed course and proposed and passed a much larger change that exempts single-family homes including condos flat out, abandoning the process and negotiated reforms her office had been leading for months.
A substantial amount of Bonds' $51,000 in donations in the February 1- March 10 reporting period were from industries related to her committee: builders, land-use lawyers, and landlords.
Although Bonds' questionnaire responses did not score as well as those of her two remaining challengers, her tenure on the housing committee and council in general afforded her a detailed and nuanced understanding of the issues. For example, she demonstrated a strong knowledge about zoning and the Comprehensive Plan. She argued the council must avoid creating "loopholes" in programs like Inclusionary Zoning, the Housing Production Trust Fund, and the Preservation Fund.
Regarding the tax-increment financing (TIF) proposal for Union Market that included subsidized parking, Bonds argued that there was a "clear need for parking infrastructure for the expansive retail area [that] is to come" and defended TIFs as a "vital tool in attracting private capital," but also expressed concerns about the overall cost to the District and supported enhanced public transit access.
Bonds' remaining challengers mount a strong effort
Goodwin, who possesses a master's in design studies focused on real estate investment and a bachelor's in urban studies, has been the best fundraiser in the field, hauling in $80,000 in total through the March 10 reporting period.
Lowery, an activist who has worked for Universal Childcare Now DC Coalition, Cheseapeake Climate Action Network, and Common Cause, has earned endorsements from a number of progressive organizations including Democracy for America, the DC Chapter of the National Organization for Women, and Run for Something.
Questionnaires submitted by Goodwin and Lowery both outscored the incumbent on our rating tool. (Holmes, meanwhile, did not score well.)
Lowery had the best scores overall, with strong positions cited in favor of "increased housing density along transit corridors for low-to-very-low income residents in the Comprehensive Plan's text and Future Land Use Map," "more protected bike lanes" and Capital Bikeshare in Wards 7 and 8, and increased focus on bus service. He also opposed the parking subsidies in the Union Market TIF, and noted that he would hire a legislative director with housing experience.
Goodwin, meanwhile, gave thoughtful responses that were a bit more frank and pragmatic than Lowery's. We generally agreed with his stances — on Union Market parking, Metro funding, bike lanes, and opponents of new housing using historic preservation as an anti-development "bludgeon." He sometimes also expressed practical concerns. For example, he explained how dedicated bus lanes would lack demand during off-peak hours but suggested that other types of vehicles could use them to maximize their utility, and he described how density can function as a double-edged sword in the city's development.
The primary isn't the only race
Bonds, Goodwin, and Lowery will be on the ballot for the Democratic primary on June 19. It's extremely likely that whoever gets the Democratic nod will win in the general election. However, there are actually two at-large seats up for election in November.
According to the DC Home Rule Act, only three citywide councilmembers (currently Chairman Phil Mendelson and at-large members Anita Bonds and Robert White) can be members of the same party. That means that every two years, there's only one Democratic nominee and two seats, meaning one (or both, but it's always been one) goes to a non-Democrat. Right now, the non-Democrats are Elissa Silverman (who's up this November) and David Grosso (next up in 2020). While the two fall to the left of many of the Democratic councilmembers, they're registered independents.
We'll be looking at Silverman's race later this year and posing a questionnaire to her, fellow independent Dionne Bussey-Reeder, and any other candidates who emerge.
This post stated an incorrect date for the Democratic primary in one reference. It has been corrected.

On October 22, 2016, 1000 attendees, volunteers, speakers, and performers gathered together at Koerner Hall to be inspired. The 2016 conference paid homage to our vibrant city and its communities. It focused on new ways in which we communicate, innovate and problem-solve through the theme, Symbols + Signals. Four performances, 12 speakers, and two tech demos left the audience in awe as we explored topics including rehabilitation science, female sexuality, the future of transportation and the meaning of names.
As the Principal Designer of the marketing and design team responsible for designing all the branded and marketing materials, print and web, for the 2016 TEDxToronto conference. The theme Symbols + Signals was creatively conceptualized and executed across all digital and print platforms by myself and a very small marketing and design team.
The theme was interpreted through a collection of icons illustrating the five stages of Ideas Worth Spreading: STOP, LISTEN, THINK, SHARE and ACT. Icons and symbols act as a vocabulary we can all interpret, representing signals and eliciting actions, and continue to play a major role in the development of human communication.

On November 4th, 2016, Manitou Springs Fire Department took delivery of a 2016 Rosenbauer Commander engine. For the last year, MSFD has worked through custom designs and inspected the engine multiple times before reaching this day. The engine will replace Engine 1011, a 1995 Becker engine that has served Manitou Springs for the last 21 years.
The new engine has four wheel drive, a short wheel base, and a tight turn radius for the narrow back roads of Manitou.
We appreciate the support of the community and Manitou Springs City Council, and look forward to using Engine 1011 for years to come.

Ohio Facilities Construction Commission Selects Hill International to Provide Owner Agent Services For Two New School Buildings
PHILADELPHIA, PA and COLUMBUS, OH – July 5, 2018 – Hill International (NYSE: HIL), the global leader in managing construction risk, announced it was selected to provide owner agent services for two new schools for Fairborn City Schools in Greene County, Ohio.
Hill will serve the owner during the pre-construction, construction, and closeout phases during construction of a 130,444 SF, Pre-K through 2nd grade school and a 3rd through 5th grade school that will total 100,497 SF. The former building will house more than 1,200 Pre-k through 2nd grade students, while the latter will house approximately 900 3rd through 5th graders.
"There are few things more important than providing a solid education for the youth of America, and Hill is honored to be entrusted with serving on this significant project that will have wide-ranging impacts for years to come," Project Manager Brice Clawson, CCM, LEED AP, said. "When these projects are completed, Fairborn City's students will have two state-of-the-art school buildings."
The construction for the Pre-k through 2nd grade school will occur first. Then, following abatement and demolition of the current Fairborn Intermediate School, construction will begin on the new 3rd through 5th grade school. After all new construction is complete, abatement and demolition of an additional three existing school facilities will occur. Both new buildings are targeting LEED Silver certification.
Hill International, with more than 3,000 professionals in more than 50 offices worldwide, provides program management, project management, construction management and other consulting services to clients in a variety of market sectors. Engineering News-Record magazine recently ranked Hill as the eighth-largest construction management firm in the United States.

Mane Crush: Recreating Julia Roberts' Loose Curls + GIVEAWAY!
Hi folks! I'm back with another hair tutorial. This time I'm hoping to achieve loose curls like my mane crush Julia Roberts. Her look was done by her stylist – but they don't have magical powers, just the right tools. Pro Beauty Tools provides professional performance and quality that will leave you styling like a pro in no time. I'm also giving away a Pro Beauty Tools 1" Professional XL Gold Curling Wand and the Ionic AC Blow Dryer. Giveaway details are at the bottom of the post.
As you can see my hair is more on the straight side, but I love how Julia can wear her hair naturally curly, straight or wavy whenever she wants. Today I'm going to try to mimic her wavy look from last year's Screen Actors Guild where she wore a gorgeous pink jumpsuit.
My first step is to divide my hair into sections.
Once your hair is divided into sections, try to start with the hair from the back and work your way towards the front.
I have always been hesitant about using a wand because my hair is pretty long. Thankfully, the Pro Beauty Tools XL curling wand is two inches longer than traditional wands. So it's actually perfect for my long hair! The wand is available at Walmart. (You can also get the blow dryer in Target).
The gold plated barrel provides advance heat technology for all hair types including curly and course (such as Julia Roberts'), straight, and wavy.
In a previous blog post I confessed that I almost never do my own hair. And that's because I thought I didn't know how to, but now I realize it was because I didn't have the right tools.
That all changed when I got my hands on the Pro Beauty Tools. Now I can get professional quality and performance at home. (You too can get your hands on some of these tools by entering the giveaway below!)
To complete the look, I put on some makeup. I also tried to separate the curls a little more for a loose look by passing my fingers through my hair.
Final Look
Does it look similar to Julia's hairstyle?
I don't own a pink jumpsuit but I have a pink dress.
How to get loose curls with a curling wand

Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation.
Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape, digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced.
Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second.
Early examples of attempts to capture the phenomenon of motion into a still drawing can be found in paleolithic cave paintings, where animals are often depicted with multiple legs in superimposed positions, clearly attempting to convey the perception of motion.
Animation is the third solo album by Yes founder-member and former lead singer Jon Anderson, released in 1982.
Animation was recorded during a busy time for Anderson when he was collaborating with Vangelis and Mike Oldfield and exploring new age and electropop.
As with the previous album Song of Seven, several well-known musicians were involved in Animation, including Simon Phillips, David Sancious and Jack Bruce.
The song All God's Children was produced by producer Tony Visconti (who had worked with more mainstream British acts such as David Bowie and T. Rex) and was released on vinyl but no CD version was published until 2006, when a limited edition CD re-release of the album (with two bonus tracks) was issued by Opio Media. The rest of the album was produced by producer Neil Kernon who had worked with acts such as Daryl Hall and John Oates
"Surrender" and "All in a Matter of Time" were released as singles.
The album was promoted with a world tour where Anderson would perform songs from the album as well as several Yes classics, mostly in medley form.
Animation Magazine is an American print magazine and website covering the animation industry and education, as well as visual effects. The print magazine is published 10 times a year in the United States.
Animation Magazine was founded by Terry Thoren in 1985. The print edition is published 10 times a year in the United States. Editorial covers all forms of animation: 2D animation, 3D for animation and visual effects, and stop-motion. A digital version was created in 2006. It also published a daily weekday newsletter.
Daily animation news is updated every weekday on the publication's website. The site is also home to World Animation Celebration Online (WAC-O), an online film festival featuring animated shorts from around the world. Films are free to view. Also featured on the site is AniMagTV, a portal dedicated to brief reports on animation events, shorts and trailers.
Animation Magazine hosts two events each year, The World Animation and VFX Summit, at the California Yacht Club in Marina del Rey and the World Animation Celebration in Culver City. Details on both events can be found on www.animationmagazine.net

Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation.
Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape, digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced.
Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second.
Early examples of attempts to capture the phenomenon of motion into a still drawing can be found in paleolithic cave paintings, where animals are often depicted with multiple legs in superimposed positions, clearly attempting to convey the perception of motion.

TORONTO - Toronto FC star midfielder Michael Bradley has found himself in the middle of a remarkable war of words between U.S. national team coach Juergen Klinsmann and MLS commissioner Don Garber.
Garber held a media conference call Wednesday to chastise Klinsmann for a comment earlier this week about Bradley, who left Roma for Toronto this season, and Seattle Sounders striker Clint Dempsey, who quit Tottenham for MLS.
"It's going to be very difficult to keep the same level that they experienced at the places where they were," Klinsmann said Monday. "It's just reality. It's just being honest."
The U.S. coach also said Bradley, after a frustrating season in Toronto that seems destined to end before the playoffs begin, "has to prove that he hasn't lost a bit."
Garber said such comments were plain wrong, not to mention detrimental to the league and the athletes. And he tore a strip off Klinsmann for using such a public platform.
"We're dealing with young professional athletes," said Garber, who went on the offensive Wednesday. "I don't know what possibly could have motivated Juergen to so publicly criticize Michael Bradley and ultimately Clint. It is concerning to me that it seems to be following a pattern that began with his criticism of Landon (Donovan)."
The 32-year-old Donovan, the career scoring leader for the national team and MLS, was cut by Klinsmann in May in advance of a fourth World Cup.
"I believe that Landon should have been in Brazil, not because he earned it or deserved it, but because his performance dictated it," Garber said. "And if anybody disagrees with that, and some of you might — clearly Juergen does — then I believe that his treatment was inexcusable.
"And I have concerns that his criticism particularly of Michael is following that same pattern."
Garber said Klinsmann's comments about MLS were incorrect and "incredibly damaging" to the league as well as at odds with what MLS and U.S. Soccer were trying to achieve together. Klinsmann is also technical director of U.S. Soccer.
"For him to publicly state issues that he has with Major League Soccer, in my view is not something that is going to allow him to effectively serve the role as not just coach but as technical director," Garber said. "I am in no way saying what Sunil (Gulati, president of the U.S. Soccer Federation) should be doing with Juergen as it relates with his employment. That is between Sunil and Juergen.
"I think he's done a great job with the national team. I think he needs to think very, very hard about how he manages himself publicly and how he deals with his view as to how he should motivate players that are playing in our league."
Ten members of the U.S. World Cup squad this summer play in MLS, with another five having started in the North American league, the commissioner noted.
"Sending a negative message to any player, and obviously to U.S. players, that signing with Major League Soccer is not going to be good for their career or good for their form is incredibly detrimental to Major League Soccer," said Garber.
He pointed to Seattle defender DeAndre Yedlin's upcoming move to Spurs as proof that playing in the North American league does not negatively impact form.
Garber said MLS franchises in both the U.S. and Canada were developing homegrown talent for their national teams.
As such, Garber said having the U.S. coach not on board is "frustrating as hell."
Klinsmann, a former star striker who coached Germany, called Bradley's decision to leave Roma, which is playing Champions League football, for Toronto "a huge disappointment."
Bradley, speaking to ESPN FC, disagreed with Klinsmann that players need to be in Europe's elite leagues.
"You can be in a fantastic environment but if you don't put everything into it and think you've already made it or that there's no need for extra work, you have no chance," Bradley said prior to the U.S. game against Honduras on Tuesday in Boca Raton, Fla.
"On the flip side, you can be in what some would call a less-than-ideal environment, but if your hunger and determination and drive push you to walk on the field every day ready to do everything possible to compete, help the guys around you and be a better leader, you'll improve."
Garber said Bradley, who has won 91 caps for the U.S., would not have come back to MLS "if he did not believe that it was in is competitive best interest to do so. And I could assure you that Clint Dempsey feels that way.
"And nobody was saying that Major League Soccer was unworthy when Clint scored two great goals including a game-changing goal against Ghana in the Word Cup."
Garber said he had sent a "very strongly worded letter" to Gulati, adding some MLS board members had done the same unsolicited.
He also said he had written to Klinsmann but had yet to speak to him.
Garber declined to say whether Toronto and Seattle had complained to U.S. Soccer. Toronto FC did not immediately respond to a question about whether they had complained about Klinsmann's comments.
Asked Tuesday about Klinsmann's comments, Toronto FC coach Greg Vanney shook his head.

Because we care, we have compiled a list of drinks which can be prepared ahead of time in pitchers so your guests will remain satisfied and you can enjoy the festivities!
Gin Drinks
- Germaine Gin and Tonic: you can add a twist to the traditional gin and tonic by mixing in St. Germaine's Elderflower liqueur.
- Gin Fizz: this drink features gin, lemon juice, lime juice, and simple syrup with club soda. You can mix all of the ingredients beforehand and then add in the club soda at the last minute so it retains its fizz.
- Limoncello Collins: this drink is your traditional Tom Collins with limoncello added for a refreshing and delicious drink.
Rum Drinks:
- Pop-Up Paradise Rum Punch: this drink calls for coconut rum, pineapple juice, sorbet, ginger ale, and mango. This creamy, bubbly punch is guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser.
- Malibu Driver: for a quick and simple concoction, mix one part Malibu rum and two parts orange juice.
Whiskey Drinks:
- Dickelade: this drink combines George Dickel No. 12 with lemonade. It's similar to an Arnold Palmer, but with whiskey instead of tea.
- Whiskey Sour Punch: this drink calls for whiskey with orange and lemon ingredients, and just enough simple syrup to add the perfect touch of sweetness.
- Frisco Sour: this classic blends bourbon, lemon, lime, and Benedictine. Since this drink is rather strong, you can weaken it with ice or add a few splashes of club soda.

There are, the saying goes, three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.
We tend to think about that axiom in the context of politics, where people willfully manipulate numbers to suit their beliefs and goals. But statistical analyses in any context are only as perfect as the people who perform them—which is to say that none of them are.
The predictive scores, algorithms, and other mathematical tools that advancement and alumni teams are increasingly using to evaluate alumni engagement and likelihood to make a gift often obscure reality and, as a result, counterproductively warp our priorities and strategies.
Every engagement or affinity score, or algorithm, or survey result is one or more steps removed from reality. What happens to these numbers in the intervening steps is what makes them powerful, but it is also what should make us wary. Here's why.
We add, multiply, and divide variables with algorithms or to generate scores because we intend the product to be more predictive of future behavior or more reflective current attitudes than the numbers we start with.
The problem is, this process isn't a science; it's an art that we can easily get wrong. And when we devise strategies for solicitation or engagement that center on flawed scores, those strategies are flawed too.
Here are a few real-world examples from three different institutions.
1) Alumni are rated on a 14-point scale. All worth one point: Holding season athletics tickets, being a member of the online alumni community, meeting face-to-face with an officer, volunteering, having an email address on file, having a job title and employer on file, attending an event, or attending a reunion. Giving this fiscal year is worth four points, having given last year is worth three points, and an increasing in giving between the two is worth one point.
This scale is a couple things: flat, in that it doesn't have enough range to recognize the full depth of affinity and engagement; and poorly weighted, in that it does not assign the correct relative significance to different activities.
Why is a face-to-face meeting with an officer rated the same as having an up-to-date email address? Is signing up for an online platform really as indicative of engagement as attending a reunion? What if they fly from the other side of the country—or the globe—to attend? What about the size of a gift? The math at play here does not accurately represent the degree to which alumni are engaged with and loyal to their alma mater. It is easy to generate and easy to read, but what use is an easy score if that score is inaccurate? The point behind a score is not just to simplify a complex array of variables, but to maintain some of their original nuance and reveal to us things we didn't already know.
The institution that uses this scale has mandated that relevant offices be judged on their performance in boosting these scores. This approach can incentivize some behavior that boosts numbers in the short term but does little to change things in the long term. Pushing alumni to give might make their score go up a whopping four points but do little to help—and perhaps even actually harm—their affinity for the institution if it is not grounded in a deeper, two-way relationship.
2) Alumni are rated according to 19 different activities, from opening an email to engaging on social media to making a recurring gift, each of which is weighted according to their importance and the effort they require. There is no maximum score. The average score is 27; the most engaged alumnus has a score of over 400.
This is a much broader, deeper, more accurate way to measure engagement than the shallow 14-point scale of the previous example. It encompasses digital behaviors, like engaging on Facebook and opening email, as well as traditional ones, like attending reunions. The wide range of scores, from low double digits into the hundreds, captures the passion some alumni have for their relationship with their alma mater.
This more holistic approach to scoring engagement produces a more subjective score—how much more engaged is an alumnus with a score of 75 than a score of 100? Is someone with a score of 400 four times more engaged than someone with a score of 100? (And what does it even mean to be four times more engaged than someone else?) But this subjectivity is a strength because it reminds us that the score is not the be-all-end-all of measuring engagement. To critique it further we'd need to know how behaviors are weighted, which behaviors are and aren't counted, and how the score informs the strategy of the alumni and advancement teams.
3) Alumni respond to 15 questions about their relationship with their alma mater with "strongly disagree," "disagree," "slightly disagree," "slightly agree," "agree," or "strongly agree." (A six-point Likert Scale.) Each alumna is assigned a score between 15 and 90 points based on the sum of those answers—"strongly disagree" is worth one point and "strongly agree" is worth five.
Surveys are an important and powerful tool for measuring alumni sentiment. Despite the critique that I'm about to offer, it's important to remember that nothing is better than going straight to alumni and asking them what they think and what they need. But that doesn't make this particular approach perfect.
The Likert Scale itself is imperfect. First off, most Likert Scales have an odd number of questions and have a "neither agree or disagree" option in the middle; using an even number of questions forces alumni to agree or disagree when they might feel neutral. Second, assigning numerical values to feelings is difficult. Is someone who "strongly agrees" with someone six times more positive about it than someone who "strongly disagrees" with it? Shouldn't we assign disagreement negative values? And so on.
Relationships and loyalty aren't numbers and can't be treated as such. When we turn them into scores we assume that all the standard mathematical rules apply—that 100 is twice as much as 50, that 75 is greater than 70, and so on. But these scores don't behave like numbers—they're just ratings we arbitrarily assign.
No score or algorithm is omniscient—can't fit everything into an equation. Whether you use 14 data points or 1400, you can't take the reality of human relationships, loyalty, and love, in all their complexity, and turn it into a game of math.
I like this excerpt from Lewis Carroll's novel, Sylvie and Bruno, as a way to demonstrate this point. (Borges expanded on the concept in his better-known short story "On Exactitude in Science.")
"What a useful thing a pocket-map is!" I remarked.
"That's another thing we've learned from your Nation," said Mein Herr, "map-making. But we've carried it much further than you. What do you consider the largest map that would be really useful?"
"About six inches to the mile."
"Only six inches!" exclaimed Mein Herr. "We very soon got to six yards to the mile. Then we tried a hundred yards to the mile. And then came the grandest idea of all! We actually made a map of the country, on the scale of a mile to the mile!"
"Have you used it much?" I enquired.
"It has never been spread out, yet," said Mein Herr: "the farmers objected: they said it would cover the whole country, and shut out the sunlight! So we now use the country itself, as its own map, and I assure you it does nearly as well."
The bigger your map gets—the more variables your score or algorithm includes—the more difficult it is to manage. Soon, managing your map becomes just as time consuming as managing the territory. And the more variables we have, the more likely we are to encounter the aforementioned problem of fuzzy math—how do we weight them all?
Now, I admit that automated data collection (for example, through social media APIs) and predictive analytics are making strides toward solving this problem and will continue to do so. They make managing hundreds or thousands of variables possible, and machine learning can even help us weight those variables and understand how they affect likelihood of giving and engagement overall.
But using past behavior to predict future behavior strictly limits us to extracting engagement from our constituents rather than cultivating it. They tell us how engaged someone is but not how to make them more engaged. And that's where we get to my third point.
Once we get engagement scores for our alumni, our first impulse is often to try to improve those scores. Raising the score will increase engagement! Home run!
Well, not quite.
It's helpful to think about engagement scores like SAT scores—all an SAT score does is measure how good you are at the SAT. Taking an SAT class to do better doesn't make you more intelligent. It doesn't make you a better college student. It just makes you better at taking the test.
In the same way, boosting an alumna's engagement score doesn't necessarily make her more engaged. Take example #1 from above, where when an alumna gives during the current fiscal year her score goes up 4 out of 14 possible points. That's a huge increase. But does making that gift make her more engaged? No. It might represent that she is more engaged, it might correlate with higher engagement. But the act of giving does not cause her to be more deeply engaged, and so hounding her for a gift does not qualify as an attempt to engage her more deeply. In the same scoring scheme, we'd assume that an alumna is more engaged because she met with an advancement officer, even though we all know some meetings are duds and others go the wrong way entirely. We haven't made any progress, we just made the numbers go up.
When we get our hands on an engagement score, we do a little happy dance because we think we have the holy grail of our profession—boost the score, boost engagement. But it doesn't work that way. All we know for sure is that boosting the engagement score boosts the engagement score. That's it.
Let's use another metaphor to help illustrate this sometimes counterintuitive point.
Let's say we have two cups—or beakers, if you prefer—a big one and a little one. As we pour water into the larger cup, it reaches its lip and starts to pour down into the smaller one beside it. This represents the affinity threshold, let's call it, that an alumna must reach before she engages in a particular way—attends an event, makes a gift, etc. The water, representing her affinity for her alma mater here, must reach a certain level before it pours into the next cup, i.e. before she attends an event.
In reality, we can't really tell exactly how much affinity any given alumna feels toward her alma mater like we can tell how much water there is in a measuring cup, so let's put the first cup behind a screen.
That's a more accurate representation of the situation in which we find ourselves when it comes to measuring alumni engagement. We don't know exactly how engaged someone is because we can't look inside their heads and hearts and read their minds. Instead we look to their behavior to judge the degree to which they are engaged. When the water starts to pour into the second cup—when they give or attend an event or do something else—we know the water—their affinity—has reached the threshold.
They key point here is that what we're actually interested in is the water level in that first cup. What we want to measure is their affinity for their alma mater. But we can't see through that opaque screen so we tend to focus our efforts on getting water to pour into the second cup, to focus on getting alumni to participate in a given way. We are mixing up the result (water in the second cup, i.e. participation) with the cause (reaching the threshold in the first cup, i.e. feeling a certain degree of affinity).
So what do we do then? We game the system to lower the affinity threshold so that alumni don't have to feel as much affinity as before to engage in a particular behavior. Then it looks like more alumni are more engaged when all we've done is changed the parameters of the situation. Rather than increasing their affinity—increasing the water level—we've just lowered the threshold. It's like filling the first cup up with sand.
There isn't any more water in the cup. There isn't any more affinity. It just looks like there is because we've lowered the threshold for engagement. Some real world equivalents of putting sand in the cup include boosting Facebook posts, lowering the cost of event attendance, or doubling down on fundraising emails. There is nothing wrong with these practices, but we need to recognize that just because they increase the number of likes, attendees, and gifts we get does not mean that they are boosting affinity and engagement. What they are doing is lowering the threshold for engagement so that people who feel less affinity for their alma mater participate in some way. In the long term, getting someone to attend an event that they wouldn't have otherwise may be a way to get them more involved with their alma mater. But earning likes, gifts, or attendance is not the direct route to higher institutional affinity that engagement scores suggest it is.
Engagement scores encourage us to engage in this sort of manipulation. We become so focused on alumni behaviors that we lose sight of what inspires people to do those things in the first place.
Should we throw out all engagement scores and algorithms? No—baby, bathwater, etc. But we should be wary of the way these tools warp how we see the world and check in every now and then to make sure that the conclusions they lead us to are in line with what is actually happening. When the map becomes the territory, how can we even know we're lost?

Why does Michael Phelps keep returning to a brutal training regimen in the pool, long after he's achieved every imaginable accolade as a swimmer? Why do men who have earned hundreds of millions of dollars, even billions, work relentlessly to earn even more, long after it could possibly make any material difference in their lives? Why does a substantial group of politicians with no remote chance of being elected president feel compelled to traverse the country campaigning 18 hours a day for more than two years?
As little as these varied people have in common, their shared core hunger is for value. Once our basic needs are met, we human beings arguably crave value above all else.
We each want desperately to matter, to feel a sense of worthiness. In a 2008 analysis of more than 200 studies, the highest rises in the subjects' levels of cortisol — a hormone released into the body in response to stress — were prompted by what researchers summed up as "threats to one's social self, or threat to one's social acceptance, esteem and status."
In his book "Violence: Reflections on a National Epidemic," James Gilligan recounts the story of visiting with an inmate who was out of control. The man was in solitary confinement 24 hours a day and attacked his guards whenever he was approached. "What do you want so badly," Mr. Gilligan asked the inmate, "that you are willing to give up nearly everything to get it?" Ordinarily so inarticulate that he could barely be understood, the inmate didn't hesitate in his reply.
"Pride, dignity, self-esteem," he said. "If you ain't got pride, you ain't got nothin'."
Over 40 years of studying violence, Mr. Gilligan was struck "by the frequency with which I received the same answer when I asked prisoners, or mental patients, why they assaulted, or even killed someone. Time after time, they would reply, 'Because he disrespected me.'"
Or as Elijah Anderson, a sociologist, characterizes what he calls "the code of the streets:" "Respect is viewed as an entity that is hard won but easily lost so must constantly be guarded."
How different is it to tenaciously seek and accumulate wealth as a source of value? In these cases, what's so easily lost is not the wealth itself but any enduring sense of value it provides for its accumulators.
In my own relatively small way, I learned this lesson at an early age. Nearly three decades ago, at the age of 35, I wrote a book with Donald Trump called "The Art of the Deal." It became a No. 1 best seller, and I earned more money in a short time than I had in all the rest of my working life.
The book's success provided a welcome relief from financial anxiety and greater material well-being, but it did not fuel any enduring sense of value. To the contrary, the fact that so much external success didn't deliver what I had always imagined it would left me feeling empty and bewildered. What it did prompt was a search for a more sustainable source of value that has continued for the rest of my life.
There is little doubt that we each need the basic source of value that money can provide. By giving us the ability to meet our basic needs, it frees us from being preoccupied by them.
The problem is that we can so easily be seduced into believing that generating more external value – whether in the form of wealth, status or even achievement — leads to a greater sense of internal value. Each of these, pursued as a means to ensure our value, delivers diminishing returns over time.
Any single-minded pursuit, unmoored to a deeper purpose, has the potential to take on the characteristics of an addiction. More and more is required to obtain the same high, and the compulsion of the pursuit prompts a growing sense of the despair and unworthiness it is meant to solve.
My search for the deepest sources of value is not over, because the journey is lifelong. But one simple principle does seem increasingly evident. We derive the greatest value not by seeking to build a better case for ourselves. Instead, we do so by understanding better what we value most — meaning, what we stand for most deeply and who we really want to be. Then we use that conviction and those skills in the service of others.
We feel best about ourselves when we stop focusing obsessively on filling our own sense of deficit. Making others feel more valued makes us feel more valuable.

After you reach that all-important conclusion to market your house, selecting quite possibly the most acceptable Estate Agents Fitzrovia is usually a frightening and difficult job. You happen to be making an enormous economic selection therefore you will would like to decide on an estate agent who will do the most beneficial in your home, and that has your best interests at heart. Sounds simple? From my practical experience, my consumers have explained to me that this is often a single of the most tough jobs from the marketing course of action.
Men and women opt for an estate agent dependant on different factors but it's necessary to remember that the conclusion shouldn't be entirely dependant on the most affordable company charges. You can find quite a few other aspects that ought to be regarded as before you make your final preference. Right here are my top rated ten tips to contemplate:
one. Obtain a advice
This may sound clear nevertheless many of us selected an estate agent which they push earlier on their own strategy to perform which they've no prior awareness of. If at all possible, get suggestions from members of the family, friends or colleagues that have employed an estate agent in your neighborhood.
two. Store about and consider various agents
Helpful competitiveness amongst estate agents is popular and there is nothing erroneous with that. It's essential to buy all over therefore you may get an notion in the diverse fees each and every agent expenses, their practical experience and their property experience.
3. Enquire regarding their activities
Usually verify exactly how much knowledge the estate agent has and their area awareness of your respective place. Request concerns like 'Have you bought qualities within this region just before?' 'How profitable have you been?' 'How numerous viewings does one get over a assets just like ours?' 'What are your encounters / historical past of promoting attributes comparable to ours?'
Asking these concerns seriously does produce a change and will affect your last final decision on picking the right agent in your requirements. It is actually also essential to note that having a great customer service and making a very good rapport with the agent might have its rewards.
4. Learn the way they plan to advertise your assets
Don't be scared to ask an estate agent how they want to market place your residence and thru which methods. Which property portals do they use to advertise on? How sturdy is their net presence? Do they promote on key web pages for example rightmove.co.british isles or findaproperty.com? You could obtain out whether there will be described as a ground approach of your property, visuals or 360 levels virtual video clips.
Make sure to request the estate agent irrespective of whether they will be conducting the viewings with your house or no matter if you're going to be executing them. If you are conducting the viewings on your own, learn the way a lot discover the agent will provide you with. Do let the estate agent know when you produce other commitments that might reduce you from executing viewings through sure situations / times.
five. Negotiate
Anyone can negotiate fees. Acquiring rates from a handful of various estate agents will provide you with the opportunity to negotiate charges to some decreased payment demand. Getting mentioned this, it really is crucial which you never negotiate for the extremely lower price. This could lead to deficiency of inspiration into the agent selling your property since they are shedding commission.
6. Be cautious of valuations
It can be an excellent strategy to get a couple estate brokers to value your property. Sites like zoopla.co.uk and nethouseprices.com are you able to give you a tough strategy regarding what your home is worth. Check these web pages prior to owning your house valued, therefore you can establish no matter whether the estate agent has valued your home at a good value.
Unfortunately some agents might overvalue your property to achieve greater fee. Originally, this may appear to be a wealthy prospect while you will obtain much more funds from the sale but, it could place off probable prospective buyers. This could bring on you having to drastically drop the inquiring cost at a later on day. Over the other hand, your home may be undervalued in a very bid to help make a fast sale.
7. Are they regulated
Verify whether the estate agents you're looking into are associates on the Nationwide Association of Estate Brokers (NAEA). This regulatory system necessitates members to strictly adhere to some code of follow. Whenever they tend not to meet these needs, the estate agent can receive a large fine or in worst cases, be expelled from the NAEA.
It is best to also test that estate agents have got a manager that is qualified from the Affiliation of Residential Permitting Agents (ARLA). ARLA agents volunteer to stick to the Code of Observe and Policies of Carry out laid down by their skilled body. The company can be covered by ARLA's Customer Revenue Protection (CMP) Scheme, when you go through monetary reduction because of on the bankruptcy or dishonesty of the ARLA member and/or their business.
Discover out whether or not the estate companies you're looking at are customers of the Property Ombudsman. They might adhere to the code of follow for both equally household profits and lettings which have been authorised by the Business office of Reasonable Buying and selling (OFT).
eight. Go through conditions and conditions, look at small print
Often read through the conditions and problems of the agreement, and look at all compact print prior to deciding to make the decision to signal around the dotted line. If essential, you could have a solicitor to read in excess of it.
You'll be tied right into a agreement with an estate agent for your amount of months this means you should look at the quantity of months it can be. This can be crucial while you won't be ready to sector your assets with an additional agent right up until your deal has arrive at its conclude. Some contracts can tie you in for more time periods of time. If you turn into dissatisfied using an agent or have challenges, you would be caught with them.
When reading through throughout the deal, watch out for particular terms and make sure you completely recognize what they mean and you simply are proud of them. Don't be afraid to question your agent to elaborate on its that means. These kinds of words consist of 'sole agency' and 'sole seller'.
Sole agency indicates you have instructed one estate agent to current market your home. Should you then requested another agent to marketplace your home, you should be breaking your contract which might have repercussions. Sole seller refers to an agent staying entitled to fee even though you sell your residence privately. Only you may decide whether or not this would pose a problem for you or not based in your prerequisites.
nine. Extra's
Your estate agent may recommend other services you can require from marketing your own home. They might advise a solicitor, mortgage loan broker or surveyor. For those who do take their give, the agent will receive a commission. This really is not always a nasty factor. It can be almost certainly which the agent takes advantage of these unique individuals consistently and understands the get the job done and service they offer. Fantastic if this satisfies your needs, but you hold the alternative to shop about for improved offers.
10. Beware of jargon
Estate agent jargon? Definitely? It may audio absurd and you also may not even location it, but some brokers will feed you with these jargon to entice you. This may include things like lines such as 'I offered a similar house in your street for £300,000 a number of months ago' or, 'I bought an additional flat as part of your block last month for £175,000' which you already know is extremely substantial. Doing some investigate of your have on nethouseprices.com will help you to ensure any prices.

*Written after seeing a performance of THYESTES, dir. Simon Stone, at the Adelaide Festival, March 2018.
At the beginning, there is a choice. To go to the left or the right. You make a choice, and from there, all else follows.
You edge past a black curtain, >THYESTES< writ in red above your head.
>THYESTES< That is all. In the dark, it will say more, when the time is right.
Black out. You silence your device.
On the screen, red words glide. All words needed, are here. The curtain rises and the artifice begins.
A sea of faces. these people do exist Think, together: We are all in the Ancient Kingdom of Pisa. We are all in Adelaide. We sit together in a dark room. We came to hear dark things. Light from a white box glows on our surprised faces / self-conscious / caught / "Remember."
Heads turn from left to right. You have silenced your devices. You came to see tragedy but it's early days yet. "But what's going to go wrong?" They're humans Remember.
When this story begins, it has already begun. It begins at Miami airport. It began in Ancient Greece. You're in Adelaide, it's 2018. There's a curse on the house of Atreus, and from this all else follows, but you have to wait.
It's in the gaps, the story is told. It's in the silences, that the story unfolds. We're living moments between atrocities.
Expectant gods, you sit up straight. You watch and wait. Devices off, lives on hold. Drinking words that glide relentlessly across a screen/ a fast running stream/ ferrying you inexorably towards this horrific night. You will remember.
On this horrific night you will see/ and what you cannot see/ you will remember.
Open your arms, father, they're coming now.
Table tennis. a phone rings. Roy Orbison. Duct tape over mouth. A dressing gown, a dildo "Nobody fucks with me." there's a curse on the House of Atreus. "What's your worst nightmare?" "Calm down brother, go to sleep." you have witnessed both the motivations and repercussions "this is how you repay me." what is left and what is not left, "you've got that too." "Remember. Remember. Remember. Remember. Remember. Remember. Remember. Remember. REMEMBER. REMEMBER. REMEMBER."
"bereavement heaped up in the father's mouth"/ the horror yet to come

Johnny Cremains! Were you at their show on Friday night? It was so good!
They played their new album Hollywoodland front to back, which was slammin-outrageous and you should totally hear it. You can order it online or track down one of the Johnnys to get one, it is not on Spotify or iTunes, which is kind of a crime (though their 2012 record Leave it to Believers is up there, so you can listen to that. Hollywoodland is better, though). Sean Libby fucking destroyed it. I love a good front man. That's why I will always love the Verve. White Jeans? Deep squats? COME ON OF COURSE I'M IN!
Alright look the kids are back in school and everyone is just fucking around now, we're not even trying. Fucking football started, so you can kiss everyone you know goodbye until February as the anesthetizing bombast of fucking goddam stupid professional American football lulls all of your loved ones into a chicken wing stuffed, beer swilling, seven layer dip covered shell of a human being who is no longer capable of rational thought. Aside from the fact that Pete Carroll is a stone cold silver fox, I don't know much about the sportsballs, it has something do with Katy Perry scoring a basket in the outfield, right? Great, have a nice life, see you all in February, invite me to your superbowl party, I make killer guac, the greatest of party snacks. .

Ain't nothin' going on but the rent, motherfucker. Need to do something? Model Airplane Mondays at PHOME, sure. Sometime Mosart212 is at Bramhall but we never find out until the last minute. Or you could stay home and work on that local playlist for set break like we talked about. JUST SAYING.

I don't think that I'm too far off in saying that we have an education issue in Our America. From textbooks that teach creationism to stagnating teacher's wages, it's pretty endemic to our culture. As a result, we don't learn anything real, which makes us fear things because we don't know about them. So Christians fear Muslims, men fear women, white people fear black people, the wealthy fear the poor, etc. Our only choice, really, is to self-educate. I don't know if you heard about this, but there's a real racism problem here right now. White people are trying to kill and/or oppress all the black people. The white people who feel most strongly about this are getting jobs as cops and using their legal weapons to hurt black people with the blessing of their local government. They've been doing it forever! Since the beginning! I'm going to assume it's mostly white people reading this blog, so I'll just throw it out there that we could all stand to start learning more about how to fucking end the war on black people. I'm no expert, all I get is the stuff I learn from public radio (TAL is pretty great at explaining these things to middle class white people, like this show or this one), what I read, what the few black people I know well enough to talk to about this stuff tell me about their experiences, and you know, the Internet. Anyway, I'm just saying we could all probably stand to go see this documentary about the Black Panthers being presented by the NAACP at Space. I know it's not local art, but fostering understanding strengthens our community, so just throwing it out there. Let's learn some shit.

Uh... Micromasse at PHOME? Rap Night/Karaoke at Asylum? I don't know, why don't you tell me what to do on a Wednesday night for once?
Thursday, September 17
There's this little Phone Home festie going on at PHOME - it's all electronic music of various ilks, Sea Level is a one man mixie loopy thing with smartypants rapper Zack Jones, Altered Gee is computery, matrixy hip hop, Jaw Gems is blippy synthy electronica, it's all fun shit. Also on the bill is Crimewave, World Cup and Square 1. This is an ET themed thing, which, guys that movie is fucking terrifying I don't even understand why you would put the saddest alien ever on you fliers, but I just… I am so scared of ET.
I much prefer Meathead from Meatballs 2.
It's a great night for electronic music, because Herbcraft is at Empire opening for Mild High Club. Choose wisely.

The architecture attempted to weaken the confine of each associated space, ending up with a more successive surface to create a contracted and comfortable ambiance found in museum generally. Dispersed rattan crafts in the area are intangible cultural heritage of Li Nationality." Learn more at: https://competition.adesignaward.com/design.php?ID=71097

Climate Change Is Here Now (560)/
This week we focus on largely on climate effects, as they are already causing havoc. Additionally as these effects become more clear, some hard to predict further complications can become apparent complicating mitigation efforts and causing additional difficulties and danger the world over. Stefan begins with several current climate impacts we are already seeing.
- A third of the world now faces deadly heatwaves as result of climate change
- Rare US floods to become the norm if emissions aren't cut, study warns
In the middle section Saryn talks about the science behind higher temperatures attributed to climate change is increasingly interfering with air travel as planes have temperature operating ranges that are now being exceeded causing delayed and cancelled flights due to heat wave. We also discuss Donald Trumps surprising suggestion of putting solar panels on the supposed 'Mexico border wall'.
- Trump's pitch for making the Mexico border wall 'beautiful': add solar panels
- Meet The Unsexy Climate Solution That Cuts Energy Bills, Creates Jobs and Saves Rivers
- The Science Of Why It's Too Hot For Some Planes To Fly In The Southwest U.S.
Finally we spend the majority of the last section with a discussion of the news that Exxon, BP and Shell Oil companies among other large multinational corporations are 'suddenly' on board with pushing for an American price on carbon… with a higher price per ton that is even being implemented in Canada. We haven't busted out the champagne yet, listen to find out why. We also briefly mention a liberal proposal on repairing Canada's public broadcaster the CBC after years of intentional damage done by the Harper conservatives.
- Exxon, BP and Shell back carbon tax proposal to curb emissions
- Trudeau Liberals complete step one of many required for CBC reconstruction
This Weeks Music:
Buffy Sainte-Marie 'Disinformation' & A Tribe Called Red 'Look At This'

I received a call recently from a gentleman who was exasperated because he could not find a part that he required and was on the point of giving up.
He had a Fobco 1/2″ Capacity drill and he needed a belt for it. He had spotted a previous blog that I had done and decided to give WMT Bearings a call.
Fortunately I had recorded the details of the belt in question from a previous transaction and was able to help him. The belt was sent out the same day and he received it in the post a short time later.
If you need bearings or belts for your machines please give us a call on 01743 850618 or send us an email.
We hope to reply by return wherever possible.
