Kids Shows & Cartoons; Then vs Now
This post is brought to you by the frustration I got when I sat with my young cousins to watch TV.
On one fine day, I decided to watch TV with my young cousins and it was all sorts of misery for me. Their shows made me cringe to the core and I ended up comparing them with the shows that we used to watch as kids. Here are few of the kids shows comparison and why ours were better than theirs:
KHICHDI & BAA, BAHU AUR BABY vs TARAK MEHTA KA ULTA CHASHMA
Everyone from our age group must have watched Khichdi or Baa bahu aur baby at some point. Although, all these series are of the Gujrati descent but even then Tarak Mehta ka Ulta Chashma comes nowhere near the former two kids shows. The randomness of Hansa, Parafool and Babu jee, or the innocence of Gattu is no match for Jethalal or Daya. Well, maybe few of the episodes were funny of Tarak Mehta but still its a no match. I simply refuse to admit it.
SON PARI vs BAAL VEER
Baal Veer is the Son Pari version of fairies for younger generation. There are a lot of similarities like the presence of 'Paristan' and different fairies for different purposes, and the evil witches who are always trying to hurt the kids in some way possible. Come to think of it, Son Pari was pretty stupid too but as kids we used to love it.
P.s: (Kids today will never understand the importance of "Ainak wala Jin" in our lives. It is not compared here because this show does not deserve to be critically judged and analyzed, rather we all should just cherish and love it in our hearts secretly forever.)
SSSHHHH, KOI HAI vs CHOTA BHEEM
I'm not referring to the scarier version of Shh, Koi Hai here, rather I'm talking about the Vikraal, Captain and Bijli version of it. The original theme of the show was really scary for us as kids and to be very honest the title track of Shh Koi Hai still gives me goosebumps, but the alternate version where they introduced Vikraal as a ghost hunter was pretty cool in our childhood. Bheem relates to it in the sense that he also has a useless team to fight the bad guys, but Bheem can never be as cool as Vikraal. Period.
Some other Star Plus kids shows of the similar sort were 'Karma' and 'Hatim' which seemed pretty legit too in our childhood. Attached below is nostalgia for us 90's kids:
Kids today can never handle this kinda theme song. Nope. Never.
COURAGE, SCOOBY DOO, DEXTER & MANY MORE vs DORAEMON & HAGEMARU
Hagemaru and Doraemon are the most annoying in the list. I never really understand these both cartoons in the first place because they irritate the hell out of me. On the other hand, we have our favorite 'cartoon network' cartoons that we used to binge watch as kids like Courage the cowardly dog, Powerpuff girls, Dexter's Laboratory, Scooby Dooby Doo and many more.
Thank you for keeping up with my frustration and the frustration of many more who have young kids in their families watching these senseless shows.

PowerApps is Microsoft's technology for building no-code forms, not only for SharePoint lists, but across many LOB systems. This session teaches you how to create forms, and how to get around in the design interface, in order to make your job and processes more efficient for workers on the go. PowerApps can also be used as an InfoPath replacement for forms, and Laura draws parallels and comparisons for those moving from InfoPath. In this session geared towards business users, the components of a form are demonstrated, as an app is built and deployed. The management of PowerApps from an admin perspective is also covered.

Live webinar with Matthew McDermott: Implementing a Content Search Project – Start to Finish
You have heard that SharePoint can find anything, but you are not seeing those results. You have important content that you want to find in the SharePoint Search center either in Office 365 or SharePoint on-premises. In this presentation Matthew will demonstrate how to run a search project for a specific kind of content, like Invoices, Templates, Sites, Contracts, Resumes, or whatever it is that you need to find. This session will outline the steps required for a successful search project and then demonstrate how to configure the content, the site, and the search center to deliver actionable results for your end users.
Come spend an hour and discover what you have been missing in SharePoint Search.

Workshop FAQ: Why Two Days?
The most common question I get about my upcoming workshop, SharePoint 2016 and Office 365 Search in Practice, is why I've decided to choose a two-day format.
I know it could be one day. Also, it could be three days, or even up to five.
Workshop: SharePoint 2016 and Office 365 Search in Practice
I am happy and super excited to announce Search Explained Roadshow 2017! The first stop is Amsterdam, Netherlands with a 2-day workshop SharePoint 2016 and Office 365 Search in Practice.
Search and findability have evolved over the past several years into a new form. Search is no longer simply about "Search". While Information Overload is the new reality of our lives, findability of relevant content gets more and more critical. The "old school" Search Center experience is outdated – we need something different, something better, something that is more efficient, more user friendly and more helpful.
In this two-day workshop, I will introduce proven steps and best practices, as well as common mistakes to avoid, demonstrated by live demos and exercises. The training provides you the guidance and action plan to take if you want to succeed with Search in your organization.
You will learn about: Read more…
10 Steps to be Successful with Enterprise Search – FREE webinar
This week I am supposed to speak at one of my favorite events, Unity Connect SEF as well as Findability day in Stockholm, Sweden.
Unfortunately, one of my children got sick, and his conditions have been getting worse during the last few days, therefore I had to cancel the trip to Stockholm. My heart hurts, but health first.
If you're attending this week's events, I am sure you'll find great sessions there. If you planned to attend any of my sessions, I apologize, and I hope you understand my decision. However, I'll do a live webinar next week, on November 3, 2016 on the topic "10 Steps to be Successful with Enterprise Search". You can check the agenda, timing and all the details HERE. Read more…

Enterprise Search Europe is the leading conference focusing on Enterprise Search in Europe.

I am a sucker for a good street fair/festival, so you can bet that when I heard about Pacific Grove's Good Old Days, I put it in my calendar and hoped for nice weather.
After a rainy week, the sun peeked out just in time for the weekend.
Our day at the Good Old Days festival started off in the kiddie carnival area. Of course, Trenton didn't want to start out on a tame ride; he went straight for Pirates Revenge. And he was excited!
As soon as the pirate ship started going a little higher and a little faster, the apprehension set in.
And then it was ostrich mode.
But as soon as the ride was over, Trenton told the attendant how much fun he had and that he wanted to ride again. Go figure!
Trenton actually did enjoy the next couple of rides much more than his first ride.
(Notice that Daddy got volunteered for the spinning dragon ride. Mommy and spinning rides don't mix well!)
Next we walked through the vendor area. The kids weren't too excited about looking at jewelry, clothes, crafts, etc., but then we came upon the MY Museum Wheelie Mobilee area. They could have stayed here all day!
It was then time to head home for naps. You know it's a productive day when the whole family needs an afternoon nap!

This is one of the best series of adverts I've ever clapped eyes on. Last month, Lego Russia released a series of ads showing some of its popular sets made up to be, well, not what they're meant to be.
This is probably dangerous fodder for a child to view, so best shield their eyes now. You don't want to give them any ideas when they unwrap the Imperial Shuttle or the White House at Christmas, do you?

Review Your Goals Weekly
How often do you review your goals? Every year? If so, you may be ahead of most people. Even so, I recommend a more frequent review period that will seem like overkill for some people, but to me it's the key to maintaining focus on your goals and actually making them a reality.The key habit [...]
How often do you review your goals? Every year? If so, you may be ahead of most people. Even so, I recommend a more frequent review period that will seem like overkill for some people, but to me it's the key to maintaining focus on your goals and actually making them a reality.The key habit to actualizing your goals: Review your goals at least once a week.
Let's be honest: if you don't think about your goals, you won't make them happen. If you aren't doing anything about your goals, they are just wishes. (If you haven't set your goals yet, I highly recommend you do so.)
In order to actualize your goals, you need to take the following steps:
- Set your goals (see Think About Your Life Goals).
- Set action tasks for each goal.
- Do the action tasks – one a day is ideal (see PurposeYour Day).
- Motivate yourself to stay focused (see Top 20 Motivation Hacks).
- Review your goals often (weekly is ideal).
Here's the process I recommend:
- Once a year (New Year is convenient, but really any time is good) you should review what you've done this year, and set your goals for the next 12 months. Yearly goals should be mini-goals of your life goals.
- At the beginning (or end) of each month, review your progress for the past month, and set your goals for the coming month. Set easily achievable goals — it's better to set your sights low (at least at first) and achieve them than to set them too high and fail. Monthly goals should be mini-goals of your overall yearly goals.
- At a set time each week (Mondays work for me), review your progress for the last week, and set goals for the week. These goals should be mini-goals for your monthly goals. For each of these goals, list a few action steps. Then schedule the action steps throughout the week (one step per day is ideal).
- Each day, when planning your day, make your goal action step for that day be one of your Most Important Things for that day. Do it first thing in the morning. Once you complete it, you have done something awesome for that day — you've taken a small step towards making your dreams come true!
The key is to review these goals and set action steps each week. If you only do it once a year, or even once a month, you won't remember them on a daily basis.
If you fall off your weekly review, just re-focus yourself and start again the next week. Don't let small slip-ups stop you from achieving your goals!

I had a great stay at Dolce vita. The team are so wonderful and friendly and genuinely make an effort to chat with you and help you out if you need. Its in a great location, the sound proofing is a nice touch and the little balcony was great to have a sit and watch the world go by. I would highly recommend staying here if all you need is a clean and tidy room and a friendly face to greet you. Thanks!

The Dolce Vita is right at the heart of the old town which made for a lively stay amongst the bars, restaurants and shops. The room was clean and comfortable with air conditioning which was essential! The staff were so helpful and friendly they really made the stay special for us. It is worth noting that it's a hostel rather than a B&B.

Teen Dating Violence Prevention
Mission The Tina Project is an organizational collaborative that helps Ohio schools meet and exceed state laws in order to prevent teen dating violence and promote healthy relationships, so that what happened to Tina Croucher never happens to another young person.
Founding Members Butler County: Citizens Against Domestic Violence

REPORT CARD (Cycle, B.t., 2009) 4
F Ohio's Grade Key Focus Areas for Grading
1) Access to Civil Protection Orders (CPOs) 2) Access to Sensitive Services 3) School Response to Dating Violence. "In Ohio, the law does not specify whether minors can obtain Protection Orders (POs), nor does it specify whether POs can be issued against minor abusers. Ohio's law excludes people in dating relationships from accessing POs. This results in an automatic failing grade for Ohio." (Cycle, B.t.,2010) 5
Access to protection orders for minors
House Bill 10 Shynerra's Law Access to protection orders for minors House Bill 19 Tina's Law Teen dating violence education 6
The Tina Croucher Act House Bill 19 – Mandate for Ohio Schools
Currently 10 states have laws on teen dating violence and 14 states have pending legislation. 7
What does HB 19 mandate for schools?
1. That teen dating violence be addressed in school policies at the State and District levels. 2. That all schools in the state of Ohio provide education and awareness on teen dating violence for grades 7-12. 3. That all schools in the state of Ohio provide education, awareness and training to staff in their schools.
Teen Dating Violence "Dating violence is when one person purposely causes physical or psychological harm to another person they are dating, including sexual assault, physical abuse, and psychological/emotional abuse." (Violence Against Women, 2009) 9
Types of Abuse Physical abuse: any intentional use of physical force with the intent to cause fear or injury, like hitting, shoving, biting, strangling, kicking or using a weapon Emotional abuse: non-physical behaviors such as threats, insults, constant monitoring, humiliation, intimidation, isolation or stalking Sexual abuse: any action that impacts a person's ability to control their sexual activity or the circumstances in which sexual activity occurs, including rape, coercion or restricting access to birth control (Dating Violence 101, 2009)
(Ohio Domestic Violence Network, 2011)
Who Experiences Dating Violence?
Dating violence is an equal opportunity crime.
Who Experiences Dating Violence?
Most Vulnerable are those: Without knowledge (jealousy = love) Lacking positive role models Wanting to fit in With low self esteem Whose needs are not being met 14
Why do we need to talk about it?
1 in 3 teenagers in a serious relationship reported that they've been concerned about being hurt physically by a boyfriend or girlfriend. Almost one-third of girls who have been in a relationship said they've been pressured to engage in sexual acts when they didn't want to do so. 1 in 4 teens who have been in a serious relationship say their boyfriend or girlfriend has tried to prevent them from spending time with friends or family. (Liz Claiborne, 2006)
Why do we need to talk about it?
Nearly 80% of females reported experiencing at least one incident of physical or sexual aggression by the end of college. 49% of males (high school to 4th year in college) report using at least one incident of physical or sexual violence against an intimate partner. (Liz Claiborne, 2006)
The Intersection between Teen Dating Violence and Rape
1 out of every 6 American adult women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime. 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be sexually abused before her/his 18th birthday. Women/girls are at highest risk of sexual assault between the ages of 93% of juvenile victims know their perpetrator. (Resources, 2011)
The Intersection between Teen Dating Violence and Rape
58% of all rape victims report being raped between the ages of (Teen Dating Violence Facts, 2006) 62% of completed rapes occur by classmates or friends. (Statistics, 2009) 57% of rapes occur while out on a date. (Perspectives on Acquaintance Rape, 2006)
The Intersection between Teen Dating Violence and Rape
More than half of rapes are never reported. With teenagers, it is even more likely that they will not report to persons of authority.
Recognizing Dating Violence
Dating violence is a pattern of abusive behaviors used to exert power and control over a dating partner
Warning Signs Extreme jealousy or insecurity
Checking your cell phone or without permission Constant put-downs Explosive temper Isolating you from family or friends Mood swings Physically hurting you in any way Possessiveness Telling you what to do (Dating Violence 101, 2009)
Impact of Abuse Fear Embarrassment Shame
Physical Problems from Anxiety Change in Personality Disciplinary Problems (for both victim and abuser) Social Isolation Legal Issues
Victim Informed Education & Prevention
Through the many stories of victims of Teen Dating Violence, Domestic Violence, Stalking, and Sexual Assault, teens can be positively impacted, taught the warning signs of abusive relationships, and motivated to take action.
Victim Informed Education & Prevention
Through victim's stories, we can reach teachers, counselors, and administrators to support them in drafting quality policies and procedures and to properly respond to student disclosures.
Stories Like… Johanna Orozco Cleveland, Ohio

It is everyone's responsibility. 27
How can The Tina Project help your school?
Policy – technical assistance Teacher/Staff training at your school Classroom presentations to students Support for special projects to reinforce classroom learning (clubs, athletic teams, Take Back the Night) Strengthen the local service provider's relationship with the local school district(s)
We are all responsible Safe and supportive school model
Know and recognize the signs Talk about it, educate and keep it out in the open Encourage peer programs and mentorship Hold perpetrators accountable and follow through with consequences Make it a community responsibility (educators, parents, etc) Compassionate and effective response to the victim 29
Guiding Principals Use multi-media to reach students
Classroom size audiences Age and developmentally appropriate information Prevention campaigns must be longer than one class period per year Statistics presented must be victim informed or nationally recognized Promote healthy relationships and sexuality Include all types of dating violence Identify behaviors that are part of a non-healthy continuum of interactions Address social responsibility and appropriate options for bystander intervention Identify legal consequences Identify personal support systems as a resource

No more Mr Nice But Dim: Vaizey boosts unpaid libraries
Happy New Year everyone. I've just taken ten days off Public Libraries Newsing and so there's a reasonable amount of stuff today, I still have 150 news alerts to go through so there will be more stuff I've not covered yet which will be included later this week.
The notable item in this post is the Daily Telegraph coverage of the 44% annual increase in volunteers in libraries revealed by local authorities in their returns to Cipfa. The libraries minister Ed Vaizey goes on record as saying how great it is that this is happening and how it saves so much money and can lead to new libraries opening. This has understandably caused some outrage amongst paid library staff and campaigners who see such a move as a dire threat to the service. Other news reports corroborate the suspicion that volunteering to save a local library assists in the withdrawal of paid staff elsewhere. Ed, who has come across, at best, as a bit like Tim Nice But Dim on occasion in the past in his positive statements about libraries despite the mayhem that is happening to them under his watch is now being seen, notably by Alan Gibbons, as implementing a very deliberate political programme to cut council services.
- Bristol – Up to 26 full time equivalent job losses expected.
- Doncaster – Conisbrough Library may lose paid staff and become volunteer run or close.
- East of England – £93k Arts Council England funding for artists/volunteers to boost junior summer library use.
- Haringey – Review of library service / user survey.
- Milton Keynes – £82k Arts Council England grant for artisits and digital media projects.
- North East Lincolnshire – £300-500k cut expected 2014/15. All possibilities considered. Public survey.
UK national news
- Cost of Cameron: 100 Worst Failures of David Cameron's Government from May 2010 to Dec 2013 – Green Benches. "92. 179 Libraries Closed, 80 now volunteer only, and 400+ under threat says Public Library News"
- Ed Vaizey in profile – Find My Library. A critical look at the libraries minister's privileged background, expense claims (including one for travelling 350 yards), why he got the job (he was "librarian" at the Oxford Union is a suggestion) and a few rather worrying quotations.
- George Osborne targets welfare as he warns of £25bn more cuts – BBC. "He said more austerity lay ahead, as the job was "not even half done" … "Mr Osborne has argued the savings needed after 2015 can be found entirely from spending cuts, with welfare accounting for about half of the £25bn targeted – the remainder coming from a further squeeze on departmental budgets." … "Labour say they would match the government's overall spending plans in 2015-6 but would have different priorities from the coalition." 10% cut in Local Government budget expected 2015/16.
- How can we make sense of the world without reading stories – Guardian / Comment is Free. "Face facts, I told myself. Libraries are closing and not even Labour councils seem minded to save them. Bookshops are struggling. The BBC now devotes no TV programme to literature.". Several comments in support of libraries.
- Is the Big Society finally here? Big surge in volunteers helping out at libraries – Telegraph. "Official figures from show that the number of volunteers staffing libraries jumped by 44 per cent last year, from 23,400 to 33,800 people. The figures could suggest that the volunteering boom forecast by some Conservatives as part of the "Big Society" is starting to materialise"
- Libraries: the shape of things to come? – Alan Gibbons. "Culture Minister Ed Vaizey's vision for the public library service continues to become clearer. It is not about an expanding service or one more responsive to the public. It is one run largely by volunteers with a 'support system' provided by local councils" … "Far from being a spontaneous popular adoption of the Big Society, this is a grudging acceptance from many people that the public library service we once had is being steadily deconstructed. " … "Vaizey's comments on what is happening are instructive. They are not about the service to the public but about cost"
"Ignore all the fluff and bluster about innovation. This is a shoddy patching up operation. Instead of a system of trained librarians supported by volunteers, we are moving to one largely of volunteers with some support from professionals. How long will that support system continue, I wonder, once the Government has achieved its aim of transferring responsibility for libraries from local elected representatives to volunteers?" Alan Gibbons
"It's an insult. To library users, to library services, to librarians – and to volunteers." Library Campaign
- Lottery cash for Herts and Essex library projects – Herts and Essex Observer. "The library services for Herts and Essex are two of 10 across the East of England region to have secured funding to develop a joint summer reading and arts programme for young people in 2014. A total of £93,000 has been awarded using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England."
- Not so lazy Vaizey – Leon's Library Blog. "Intended to deliberately cause upset (how could they not?) Ed Vaizey's comments regarding volunteers in the Telegraph is par for the course. The biggest surprise is not that he delivers these inane comments with a straight face but that we are outraged when he does so." … "The Catch-22 is that by saving something the volunteer places great value on; their local library, they expedite the diminution of the overall service."
"Ed Vaizey is neither lazy nor incompetent. In fact he is delivering the political ideology of the coalition government and the instructions of his boss, Maria Miller, perfectly. Vaizey's so called 'inaction' around swingeing cuts to libraries is in fact very deliberate and effective political action."
- Number of library volunteers surges in the year to March, figures show – Third Sector. "Rob Jackson, a volunteering consultant, said he would be interested in finding out what libraries had been doing to grow their volunteering numbers so quickly. "It's great to see a success story of an organisation recruiting volunteers when so many struggle to get new people to give time," he said. But he also said that it was concerning to see the increase in volunteers being set alongside budget cuts." [There is no mention from the minister of budget cuts, the advantages of paid staff over volunteers or that the vast majority of the increase volunteering is down to the need to replace paid staff rather than start new libraries – Ed.]
"Ed Vaizey, the Culture minister, hailed the "very impressive" increase and said he wanted other communities to open libraries. He said: "All the volunteers I come across say they are running their libraries far more cheaply than the local authority was doing it." Mr Vaizey acknowledged that it was prohibitively expensive for councils to set up libraries, and urged communities to take matters into their own hands and set up their own libraries,"
- Pickles urges councils to resume weekly bin collections – ITV. "Mr Pickles has made weekly bin collections one of his top priorities for local government but critics have branded him a "philistine", claiming he has put money for bins ahead of funding for libraries and museums."
- Salute to Librarians! Featuring Wokingham Librarian Barbara Band – Edge. CILIP President shows the need for school librarians.
International news
- Advocating for the future of Irish (public) libraries – Libfocus (Eire). Discusses automated libraries allowing use with no staff on duty … "alongside the obvious advantages of this proposal, is the very real threat that the out of hours service may become so successful and popular, that users (and further still, local authorities and the Government) may perceive that there is no need for libraries to be staffed at all" … "Whilst we can often do very little in the face of budget cuts and library closures, we can help to some (however slight) effect by advocating for our profession, something which I feel that we (the profession as a whole) often do not do enough of. "
- Christian library with 80,000 books is burned down after owner was falsely accused of insulting Islam, Mohammed – Blaze (Lebanon). "Lebanon's Daily Star reported that "civil defense teams struggled to put out the flames which engulfed the bookstore," calling the site "one of Lebanon's most renowned libraries."" … "Hundreds of Lebanese citizens demonstrated Saturday in Lebanon's second largest city in support of the priest, while others volunteered to try to salvage books and rebuild the library."
- Quantifying the Continued Relevance of America's Public Libraries – Library Journal (USA). "Thankfully, for library advocates, a wonderful source of data measures is available to help quantify the actual degree to which the public at-large truly values public libraries. The nationally-regarded Pew Research Center recently released a comprehensive survey entitled "How Americans Value Public Libraries in Their Communities." Running from July until October 2013, a total of 6,224 individuals aged 16 or older were asked to share their thoughts about local public libraries. People included in this nationally representative sampling were asked a series of questions related to both their awareness and usage of local public libraries."
- Self-service libraries to allow night-time checkouts – Irish Times (Eire). "Under the pilot scheme, selected library buildings will be fitted with automatic doors. Users will gain access to the library by using their membership card and a pin number. They will be tracked as they move through the building by both prominent and discreet security cameras. Radio-frequency identification tags will be attached to books, which will have to be scanned prior to removal." … ""Library staff in other countries in which open libraries operate, including Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Taiwan, report extremely positive experiences and that despite initial apprehension, very few disturbances occurred; in fact those which did occur were of a minor nature."
- Texas library offers glimpse of bookless future – USA Today. "Rows of glossy iMacs beckon. iPads mounted on a tangerine-colored bar invite readers. And hundreds of other tablets stand ready for checkout to anyone with a borrowing card." … "Apple Stores aren't usually found in parts of town like this. BiblioTech is on the city's economically depressed South Side and shares an old strip mall with a Bexar County government building. On a recent afternoon, one confused couple walked into the library looking for the justice of the peace." … " in the nearly four months since BiblioTech opened, Elkholf has yet to lend out one of her pricey tablets and never see it again."
UK local authority news
- Bristol – UNISON's Response to Budget Consultation – Unison Bristol. "In particular we would wish to provide a detailed response on the future of the library service but we have not yet received the detailed feedback from our representatives in the libraries. We are extremely concerned about the proposals to cut posts in a service which is staffed almost exclusively by women working part time. This will have a far greater impact that the figures would suggest and is likely to mean the loss of at least twice as many jobs. In addition to the 4.5 fte 4.3 fte jobs outlined in the consultation document there are possibly up to 22 FTE's to be lost in the overall library review (R-PL-023). It is difficult to gauge this accurately as the job losses are "to be determined". It would appear that Bristol's library service is in line to take the brunt of the Mayor's cuts, in terms of jobs. Staff are already effectively excluded from the annual leave purchase scheme because of understaffing and are often unable to take their leave when they want. Further cuts to staff will see stress levels soar and morale plummet."
- Doncaster – Library jobs cutback fear – Doncaster Free Press. "Fears have surfaced that the library, which has three permanent staff could become a community library run by volunteers. Doncaster Council says there are no planned library closures, but hard decisions have to be made in 2014." Councils says volunteers are "doing a wonderful job".
- Essex – Libraries secures Grants for the Arts funding – Dunmow Broadcast. "A total of £93,000 has been awarded using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England. The funding will enable library services to work with artists and young volunteers to develop a range of reading activities and arts workshops young people during the summer of 2014."
- Haringey – Council asks for views on future of Haringey's library services – Tottenham Journal. "The review is being undertaken in a bid to make sure the libraries service can continue to provide services that residents want and need. Haringey's libraries are already popular, with Wood Green in the top 20 most visited in the country. The review will explore how libraries should operate in the future, with a view to updating facilities and services to encourage even more visitors and users."
- Milton Keynes – Digital arts programme to kick off with £82,000 grant – Milton Keynes Citizen. "The money will come from the Arts Council's Grants for the Arts (Libraries Fund), to introduce a range of digital media projects to excite and engage new audiences. The programme of activities, known as Digitalis, will include musicians, digital writers, and artists working with community groups, young people and 'knit and natter' groups. Among other ideas in the pipeline, it will involve developing digital apps to engage with communities in Milton Keynes."
- North East Lincolnshire – Four weeks left to have your say on library services in North East Lincolnshire – Grimsby Telegraph. "
- By the start of the new financial year, the service needs to save £300,000 to £500,000, and proposals within the consultation documents and questionnaire explore a range of options including reducing the size of the library network, reducing opening hours and also seeking the community's views on alternative delivery models that may include libraries being delivered by other groups or organisations."
- Nottingham – Project to get more children into libraries – Nottingham Post. "Funding provided by Bestwood and Bulwell Forest Ward Councillors will be use to encourage more 11-16 year olds to use Southglade Park Library, in Southglade Road, Bestwood."
- Oxfordshire – Hush and calm of libraries broken by 100 acts of crime – Oxford Mail. "Police statistics show that more than 100 crimes have been committed in Oxfordshire's libraries in the past three years. Incidents include a sex crime, a racially aggravated assault, and a case of outraging public decency. But the most common crime is theft which made up 81 of the county's 106 library crimes between April 2010 and October last year."
- Sheffield – Final chance for Sheffield residents to have a say – Sheffield Telegraph. "The council has faced huge opposition to its plans to axe 16 of the city's community libraries, leaving just 11 open. The authority is offering limited financial support to community groups wanting to volunteer to save the other branches." … "Greenhill Library campaigners have collected 2,963 signatures and Totley 2,849 – and both petitions are to be discussed at a full meeting of Sheffield Council on Wednesday."
- Stoke – Library figures remain healthy – Sentinel/Letters. "I am confused as to how the figures have been arrived at, purporting to show a huge drop in visitor numbers. The figures for 2013 would appear to show exactly the opposite! At a quick glance, the figures appear to be very low, but in actual fact they are only for six months of the year (April to September 2013) and adding on a further six months at the same rate would actually show an increase for every single library."
- Wolverhampton – Proposed Library Cuts: Open Letter to Wolverhampton Council Chief Executive – Save Wolverhampton Libraries. "On Jan 8th Cabinet will meet to agree the latest budget proposals. These proposals will see Wolverhampton's library service decimated. We are sending this letter to you in order to put on record for a second time our grave concerns in this matter. It is unsurprising, given the lack of scrutiny within Wolverhampton Council's decision-making process, that there has been a failure to apply rigorous scrutiny to the potential impact of the proposed cuts on library services."
- Worcestershire – New year activities at Stourport Library – Shuttle. "Participants will develop key skills and knowledge over the duration of the course to help them fill any skills gaps required to help them gain work. Library manager, Maureen Hobbs, said the course would also help businesses in the area recruit a skilled workforce."

Careers... Come work here!
Welcome. Thanks for wanting to join the crew.
At Totali, we don't just accept differences: we celebrate it, we support it, and we thrive on it for the benefit of our employees, our products and our global action sports community. Totali is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and is an affirmative action employer.
We have three functional groups @ Totali
1. Build Something Team
2. Sell Something Team
3. Happy Customers Team
Within these structures our team is best suited to support our ever growing fan base and expanding product lines.
Job Title: Brand Awareness and Social Media Manager
Group: Sell Something Team
Location: San Francisco, California
Contact: Send Resume & Cover (email@example.com)
Job Type: Full time
Job Description:
The Brand Awareness & Social Media Manager will implement the Totali's Social Media marketing. Administration includes content strategy, develop brand awareness, generate inbound traffic and cultivate leads and sales. The Social Media manager is a highly motivated individual with experience and a passion for designing and implementing the Company's content strategy, creating relevant content, blogging, community participation and leadership. This position is full time salaried with benefits, including attendance at Social Media, blogging and industry-specific conferences.
It isn't enough to say we "see" results, they must tie back to our overall brand expansion objectives. We need this individual to establish Social Media ROI with first setting objectives.
Visual content has a lasting effect on us humans. Whether it's your status updates, your landing pages or your Facebook ads, what our audience sees is what they'll remember. Make sure it's consistent, compelling and gets your point across on a daily basis.
What you post on our Social channels is the foundation for all our other Social Media marketing. The Social Media manager must perform a "Brand Discovery", which outlines what it is about your business that makes it unique. This includes your core values and beliefs, and the reasons people want to buy from us. The answers should be in-depth and detailed.
Another important part of our "Brand Discovery" describes our ideal customers. We understand today that our demographics are specific. But what are their interests, what problems can we solve, where do they spend their time, and how can we help them? Quality information that's relevant to your ideal customers attracts them and sets your Social marketing up for the next steps.
You need to continually grow our fan base. Social advertising is a very valuable tool to get the Totali message heard. However, we are keenly aware that Social ads don't look like the ads we're used to seeing. We need differentiated approach in content, placement and targeting. The best way to grow our awareness is to utilize Social Media and non-intrusive Ads. A small budget with carefully selected photos and ad copy (with a clear call-to-action) will increase likes and foster engagement.
This Social Media manager should listen, respond, ask questions and engage with our audience. There should be careful consideration on how he/she responds to organic (non-paid) leads. People will ask questions and the Social Media manager should have knowledge and/or experience of the sales process to respond correctly. If a lead asks a question, answer it and follow it with a question back to them.
With growth and engagement strategies in place, the Social Media manager's job is to convert fans/followers into customers. The more advanced form of Facebook marketing utilizes Facebook ads and optimized landing pages to capture leads and convert them into sales. I've found most dealerships and other businesses need advice and support with conversion strategy. Find the right person to advise you so you get where you want to go faster, more cost-effectively and achieve the best results.
Measure results on a weekly basis. As mentioned earlier, your results must tie back to your objectives. Factor in your time, effort and budget to determine if your efforts succeeded.
Major keys:
Possesses knowledge and experience in the tenets of traditional marketing. Marketing degree is welcomed but not required with relevant work experience.
Demonstrates creativity and documented immersion in Social Media. (Give links to profiles as examples).
Proficient in content marketing theory and application. Experience sourcing and managing content development and publishing.
Exhibits the ability to jump from the creative side of marketing to analytical side, able to demonstrate why their ideas are analytically sound.
Displays in-depth knowledge and understanding of Social Media platforms, their respective participants (Facebook, Twitter, Yelp, Google+Local, YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest etc.) and how each platform can be deployed in different scenarios.
Maintains excellent writing and language skills.
Enjoys a working knowledge of the blogging ecosystem relevant to the Company's field.
Displays ability to effectively communicate information and ideas in written and video format.
Exceeds at building and maintaining sales relationships, online and off.
Is a Team player with the confidence to take the lead and guide other employees when necessary. (ie: content development, creation and editing of content, and online reputation management).
Makes evident good technical understanding and can pick up new tools quickly.
Maintains a working knowledge of principles of SEO including keyword research. Highly knowledgeable in the principles of "Search and Social".
Possesses functional knowledge and/or personal experience with WordPress.
Demonstrates winning Social Customer Service techniques. Possesses great ability to identify potential negative or crisis situation and apply conflict resolution principles to mitigate issues.
Job Title: Athlete & Test Rider
Group: Build Something Team
Location: San Francisco, California
Contact: Send Resume & Cover (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Job Type: Hourly $25.00 & Apparel Contract
As a professional rider & Totali athlete, you're a professional who's office is with wheels, fins, board and paddles instead of balls. You will make your living being our test rider for next generation electric boards, next generation surf boards and items that are still in development.
First and foremost, this job isn't selling stuff; it is a test rider of unproven equipment and will have inherent dangers. Although sponsorships and endorsements pay your bills outside of Totali, you spend the bulk of your days test riding, performing optimization, and adding feature enhancements of human movement to Totali technologies. Your goal is to perfect our craft so we can attract audiences at that look to Totali for next generation products.
The tools of your trade must be able to encompass surfboarding, snowboarding, skateboarding, paddleboarding and skydiving. You can simultaneously work, play, and get your adrenaline rush.
Major Keys:
You should have a high school degree or higher and share these traits...
1. Calm Under Pressure: You keep your cool when dealing with highly stressful situations.
2. Reliable: You can always be counted on to do a good job.
3. Leader: You're good at taking charge, giving directions, and inspiring other people.
4. Safety minded

Pima County Medical Society Committees
Legislative: This is an ad hoc committee made up of local physicians who serve on the Arizona Medical Association Legislative Committee. The ArMA committee meets in November and February to give direction to ArMA staff about pending legislation. Our local physicians give and get input from the PCMS Board of Directors.
Managed Care: Hassles are a big part of medicine today – from paperwork to late payments. This committee will examine all insurance hassles and suggest solutions. Designed to work closer with a similar committee at the state association, the ultimate goal is to work with the insurance industry, regulators and the Legislature to remedy a side of medicine that just doesn't have to be.
Public Health: This is a catchall committee that studies all aspects of medicine that impacts the public health here in Tucson. The committee meets monthly. Tomorrow's headlines are often discussed.
BioEthics: Physicians and lay leaders meet routinely to discuss late breaking bioethics cases and local procedures. The committee's objective is to be a citywide resource so every institution is on the same bioethics page.
Board of Mediation: Five physicians are elected to the Board of Mediation and together they attempt to mediate disputes between patients and PCMS members. All mediation is non-binding, but parties are usually satisfied with the process and result.
History: Medical history has not been well recorded in the Old Pueblo. This committee aims to remedy that. The committee has MDs, DOs, historians and medical archivists as members.
