Different systems develop from different purposes and it is necessary to see the development of them as a result of a complex set of prerequisites. Outside the box there is not always a good possibility to reuse the tool in such a transparent way as it may seem at a first glance. There is a range of necessary questions to take in consideration.
We often think of technical issues here – such as machine platform, operating systems and the program environment of the databases - as the main obstacles in collaboration. This is not the whole truth, if even a problem at all.
We are today facing many more problems areas, which will in fact not be obvious to curators nor to technicians and systems architects which groups both tend to look at "their" favourite issues, of course.
Facing the increasing need for cooperative management of heritage knowledge – or at least possibilities to search and find information without being aware of the sources and their special structures – we need to look deeper into a field of meta-knowledge between the "real" knowledge and the machines and systems.
This is a field where heritage institutions haven't been so focused in earlier days – the sources were local and the experts also. The same goes for many of the end-users. A large amount of understanding was built into the professionals routines and was transferred from person to person in order to be able to read old ledgers, cards and registers.
Standardising the databases force us to not only be experts on 18th century paintings, wooden furniture, old maps or a certain area of industry history. We also need to be able to handle the language in a standardised way, to be aware of syntax and structure, spelling and multilingual issues in a much higher degree than earlier.
I will here talk from a museum perspective, because this is my main field, but I think that most of the arguments and examples can be transferred to archives and libraries as well and I am convinced that you all can turn my experiences into your perspective.
Examples of different unstructured ways of writing information:
…and with a more strict structure:
Libraries seem to be far ahead both of archives – I think – and museums – I know – in looking at these challenges in a more systematic way.
The museum area has always discussed the classification issues with great emphasis but there seems to be an unknown something that leaves us a bit from the goal. It might be just a spell, or it might be worse – a professional blocking that makes us always to want the ultimate, all-covering and everlasting model to be created.
Libraries has a tradition going back to somewhere in the mid 19th century in subject classification and some archivists still tend to tell that there is no need for subject classification within the archives due to the special structure of the content – and some even say that there "is no need for the users as they always will have an archivist to ask…"
I still think that we have something to learn from libraries in getting the stuff out to the end users. Museums seem to have a position somewhere between A and L in focusing so much on the issue – and yet we are not solving the problems.
While Libraries have their Dewey, UDC with international and academic acceptance and nationally adopted structures as the Swedish SAB which is common to almost all citizens and used in public and school libraries, museums tend to have a local system from one of two families.
On the one hand Cultural Heritage museums often stick to their traditional system, developed over years and trimmed to the physical shape of the local collection content.- A great tool as long as it don't is any need for cooperation outside the museum.
In other cases, the museum can chose to adopt any of the intellectually developed systems or models that covers the entire world or a well defined aspect of it. AAT, ICONCLASS, ICOM COSTUME CLASS, OCM and a wide range of other systems like these.
The libraries also use the system of subject headings like the LCSH
Here we find other obstacles in collaboration. Either we can chose to use English language (British or American), or we can try to translate – finding that many of the elements are so bound to conceptual content with a cultural context and therefore not translatable. Some experiments in multilingual systems are known but to my knowledge no well-running ones. Leaves us with the idea of translate and modify for local need. One example is the OCM which were translated to Swedish in 1970ies and used for museum collections in general in Sweden, translated and adopted into other languages in Scandinavia and suddenly was found not comparable between Sweden, Norway and Iceland to take one of many examples.
I do not have a solution here! Still I want to raise this as something to be aware of in future planning.
In 1960-ies the first experimental projects on computerised museum documentation were launched at the Nordic museum and at The Swedish Museum of Natural History both in Stockholm.
During the 70ies the Skokloster Castle were restored and at that time a system was developed, that later on came to be a milestone in standardisation, and adopted by many regional museums. In the same period the OCM system were transformed to a Nordic, object based classification system.
In mid 1980-ies a working party proposed a new system-model called SAMOREG which took standardised thinking a step further.
1995-6 during the unemployment commitment SESAM we were a group of curators within the INSAM community at Nordic Museum, developing terminology and authority tools and a framework of rules like the Brittish Spectrum.
Over all, the development of computer systems based on this history has given us a bunch of home made systems in museums, and one of them has matured to a quite well-known and spread system, SOFIE. Within a group of museums the CARLOTTA system is developing, based on a bit unorthodox thinking – maybe the most interesting system in Sweden today. From the world outside we can notice that the Nordic Museum has taken PRIMUS, from Norsk folkemuseum in use and that the Modern Museum is using the TMS.
Today – when we are into another unemployment program – ACCESS – there is no requirement to use special software or to have the documentation based on a national agreement of basic information elements. Altogether – the above sketched history and outcome is, I believe - due to a tradition with quite independent museums and a weak regulation on political level within the cultural heritage sector, we lack a bit of the national common standards thinking that we can see in Norway and Britain to mention a couple of interesting ALM examples.
During the last two Years I have worked with a group of four experts from these four museums. The museums were quite recently merged into one organisation.
At the start we were investigating the needs and possible solutions for an authority-wide system for collection management. This was primarily based on the wish from the director and the steering group and we soon found that it was easier to say than to do. Collections numberings cover some 400.000 objects and the museum profile differs – two museums having ethnographical collections, while the other two can be categorised more as having a fine art profile, collecting items from the Far Eastern and from the Mediterranean areas.
The decision was taken, not to order a new system at that moment, but to spend a period of work within the database environment to find out whether the content was of the necessary quality or not and to find the points where standardisation was needed. There was also some other related questions to focus on.
The working group has during the period also met with other specialists in the museums and this has vitalised the dialogue between different groups of professionals.
Quite fast we found that there were three main fields where we could manage to get something done. By comparing and analyzing the content we found patterns which can be established as rules for further practical work within the museum. We can also wash out some terminology lists that can be adopted as organisation wide authorities – such as techniques and material. Based on these two types of results there is going to be better rules for writing and other manuals.
The discussion about the terminology lists is interesting as it raise the issue of end-user and target groups. The museums are by tradition focused on different user groups and also on persons with different language skills. One of the museums has almost all contacts in the international world of researchers and within a limited terminology context and thereby all documentation in English. One of them needs to handle Chinese signs and the level of knowledge is far above the normal levels of translation and transcription. The other museums have mainly Swedish documentation. The users are in the range from international experts to school children. Curators, Conservators etc also treat info in different ways. This is not a specific problem in itself – but connected to the other aspects of quality, it makes the total image quite complex when combining the four museums context fields.
We found out that for the element "material" we could go on three tracks. Try to make a list of terms that is close to everyday language and a tool for common end users. Collecting all actual terms in the museums and arrange them in a strict structure – a thesaurus. Leaving it all for single museums to decide.
The result is that we agree on a very basic list of 20 words that gives the names for large or important groups that often are asked for. The list is not hierarchic and there can be an ambiguity in some cases. Different museums had different areas where they wanted. The museum with much objects of "mother of pearl" could not accept that this was just a part of "animalic" and so on.
Looking at the content in the dozen of databases within the NMWC we can see how both tradition, competence, awareness, and differing ways of meeting new technical demands, colours the way the content is described.
Some examples are needed to explain this. In using Swedish terminology hereI will just show the structure and some problems. I believe that it is obvious to you that this is not a way of saying that these museums have low quality. I have the clear view that one can go out and find similar examples in any group of selected heritage institutions.
The first two formats are equal and reflect the grammar gender in Swedish language. A common way to make retrieving of data easier is to have writing rules saying "use the t-form in all situations, to be consistent".
The third is an older form, a synonym, that is today loaded with a value – this object is supposed to be of higher quality than a "målat" - or it might mean that there is flowers painted over the covering paint - but trying to stretch this in a discussion, we often ends up in laughter and red flushing faces as the arguments decomposes. It is overrepresented in museums documentation! It is obvious that this is not functioning when interacting with new Swedes or in the international community
"Redpainted" is a composed word that we do not want to have in a strict and standardised terminology. (At least not when discussing in this fundamentalistic perspective.) Still it's there – used by many and understood by more. Some times even a part of even more complex terminology where "rödfärgad" is not just "painted in red" – it is painted with a special type of pigment and colour base used in Sweden – so "rödfärgad stuga" is a concept not equal to any red house…
"Färgad" seems to be another word – in many persons mind restricted to the meaning of dyed – the way you colour textiles by a dipping them into the pigment…
As seen from above the word "färgad" can have a wider meaning even on its own.
All these examples are subject to contextual prerequisites. Even if it, at the beginning, looks like there has been no or not sufficient proof reading, the second impression must be that
Two other fields can be used as examples.
Museum A uses a German based name convention in documentation – due to the research history in late 19th century while other museums use an English transliteration based on their traditions. This points us to two problems today.
The age dimension of quality is often forgotten. Many items have early documentation content which is outdated today – this is often the case in ethnographic or anthropologic collections. Many objects – considered strange by the early researcher are classified as "ceremonial" or "ritual" and coloured by our ethnocentric view. Even if not accepted today for humanistic reasons the terminology mirrors a viewpoint of its time and accepted as intellectual and research based knowledge of high degree.
(By definition this is valuable for its own sake in museum documentation. Maybe not useable, and a special effect of museum documentation compared to the rational information providing in image bureaus or research libraries, one can say).
Conclusion from the two examples is that we should behave critical to the results of standardisation that is brought to us by systems that tend to set global standards – both large and small!
Relevant is also to consider the different end user groups, their skills and their bias.
This discussion has taken its start in museums documentation. I am convinced that it is transferable to Archives and Libraries world to some extent and for sure when comparing the three different heritage sources.
Looking at the National art museum in Riga, yesterday I was reminded of the international efforts on transliteration of names, actual both in museums and in libraries
KMM is a joint project consortium with museums, universities and small companies. There is some core business dealing with infrastructure and common tools and then 14 projects targeted to specific purposes. KMM is also the Swedish node for the European Union Project MICHAEL+. KMM is a part of the ACCESS-project, and The Luleå University of Technology is the project owner from now on.
The KMM use the CIDOC CRM model as a ground for terminology and structure.
The task is to develop the services and open environments that collect, store and distribute the information that end users ask for.
Infrastructure, standards, user support, connection to users experiences and more, are important.
In earlier museum projects, the classification schemes were looked upon with great interest. Many curators and information experts have tried to find out a way to compare classification systems and to have them merged. From my job with the Nordic outline I remember some of the museums trying to connect their specialised systems to the general one. It's like just adding a cherry tree on the outermost branch of an apple tree – not fruitful at all. Instead it's better to see that there is need for both of them. One general – that might just classify the entire collection under the same code (tram traffic, archaeology) and then use the branch specific system – developed by branch specialists – to divide the content within the systems.
Another experience is that when comparing one system for clothes – starting with men/ woman – over/under the waist – with another – beginning in holidays/everyday use - outer layer/inner layer you can of course find points where a dress is placed in these systems. But – when moving around (deeper, narrower and sideways) you will find by nature, that the context is diverging again. In other cases the two systems should be the same system.
One has to be aware of the prerequisites and the context for each of the systems to have them making sense.
In KMM there is a challenge to test these issues in a more offensive way. Two main reasons are discussed besides the practical goods of having the systems running in an environment where many museums help to develop the content quality.
And – as a result – an answer if it is possible to build such decisions and support into a workflow system within the heritage sector?
As well as this research and experiments will show a standardised way of handling more and more of the actual data and lead curators through the process towards a higher degree of quality in the sources, we may also be aware that this can have the opposite effect.
Case 1
When we use a standard terminology we provide the curator with a set of words to choose from. If there aren't any suitable alternatives, you are stuck in the same situation as the child trying to put small pieces of different shape into a box with holes - round, square, triangular - and it comes a star. You end up in fetching a saw to trim the star or trim the box – Guess what's the best?
(If you get just one star, it's easier to trim the star to a round – if you will get many stars, it will be needed to trim the box to swallow all of them.)
You risk to be forced to define an object as belonging to another category – to be something else than it is.
Case 2
In a case where You have quite good information and detailed knowledge and the list of terms to use is just built on words or concepts at a basic level, you will risk to be forced to declare an object belonging to a more general group than your expertise can find out. If there is a "Windsor chair" and You do not have it in your list, You look at the level above if there are "chairs", If not You climb another step and decide that the object is a "furniture" – which is indeed all right, but not precise enough.
You have lost a lot of knowledge!
Case 3
From the other side of view, the end users, we can see a similar risk. The question put to the database might be so simplified or out of focus that the answer is either a mix of relevant and irrelevant objects, or a far too big, and wide, group of objects to be interesting. We can also see the general risks over time of having forwarded a heritage nomenclature or a language domain , simplified to that extent that is not usable for more complex purposes.
…and this goes for both the end user and the professional staff that is leaning too much towards the tools of standardisation.
By pointing at all these risks I will take the standpoint that this experiments are very interesting to carry out, but that we might have as much to gain by study the effects of these tools and routines, as we win in practical support in the first stage.
So – how can we fit these two projects together and how can we make benefit from them to the community.
The terminology comparison and the analysis of the content in a database or in a group of databases can give us direct knowledge to syntactic and structural handling of the language. It can also give us a higher degree of awareness of methodological approaches to the used language and help us making better rules for future work. There can be openings for looking at museum documentation terminology in a research perspective at any of our museology universities.
Working in a project like KMM gives the opportunities to use a large amount of real data from different environments for testing. The group of museums in the project provides both a wide range of objects (=terminology) and a varying set of user history, in the sense of different habits and writing rules. The merging of these data, to clean it all up and to make it searchable in a common tool is of course an expected outcome. Furthermore we will be able to see even wider structural patterns in the material and thereby to be able to develop terminology rules in a more general community perspective.
Considering standardisation as a tool of importance, and cleaning and maintaining of databases as necessary work we should not forget the human aspect of the content in our documentation.
Besides being labels and handles for getting in touch with the content in a structured way we also have to face the fact that the information is a message about the context in itself, the language has a cultural level that has to be documented in itself and it all shows for the future a snapshot of the time of origin – both ancient cataloguing and today's electronic documentation.
There is need for two levels – or two groups of terminology. We must keep the difference between the structured and formalised terminology that is needed for comparing and exchange and the free forms of language that bears the time, the person and the flavour of history in…
In a large scale the amount of objects in a group or class will be unmanageable. It might point to a revision of the classes and subclasses. If so done – there is a risk that we construct patterns and syntax not yet seen. If not – we will have to stick to very large groups of items and data base posts that carry a similarity that hide the originality of the object.
By studies and research, by discussing methods and comparing results we can share experiences an rise the level of meta-knowledge in this field. Here I see many interesting fields of comparison not only within museums, but also in the entire heritage sector where we all can gain from earlier results and experiences
What's so good about standardisation? Well – As I can see it, Standardisation will be the tool for us to make contacts outside the institutional box possible. To be able to connect to other museums, to meet between archives, libraries and museums and to support the end users in having easy access to the data. On the other hand, a believe in the magic of standardisation makes us prisoners in the system, peeling away uncomfortable odd data and drives us to use more square boxes than necessary.
The NMWC studies have put a finger on the concrete examples and their background. Systems for catching multi-institutional data must be constructed in a way that do not cut away one aspect on behalf of the others.
The KMM project gives us a possible tool to large scale manipulation of information and a platform to discover ways of rational data handling. The risks in driving the standardising too far will be noticed.
The goal should be to keep the natural language as untouched as possible, to adapt standard terminology as tools and keys "outside" the documentation in itself and to try to hang on as many tags or information viewpoints as possible – a challenge both to the processes and the professional role.
We need discussion and we need research within these fields and we can benefit from looking at each others systems with new eyes within the entire ALM and heritage sector.

The UK Games Expo is fast approaching. Which got me thinking what shall I wear on the extremely remote off chance people want to meet up with me? How would they recognise me?
I could wear a gaming related tee.
Such as this Imperial Settler tee I have by Portal Games. But then I thought about it. That's like wearing the raspberry pi logo tee at a PiJam (a get together of raspberry pi enthusiasts – that's the computer btw not food). Not exactly unique.
Since taking the photo below I've kinda liked it. And thought I'd like that on a tee. But being the lazy so and so I am, didn't do anything about it.
But on twitter this morning a friend on there Mark Hardisty (author of A Gremlin in the Works – which is bloody amazing) tweeted about a new tee design he had done and can now be bought from his store front on the TeePublic website.
"Interesting", I thought. I'd briefly googled for places to print a shirt. But hadn't been impressed with the search results. But here is a site a friend is using. That's a recommendation I can get behind.
So in an unusual display of proactiveness I created an account and uploaded my photo. Which was pretty painless.
Now there is a tee on its way to me with that photo on it. I went for the basic tee (it's the cheapest), but they offer various quality options. When it arrives I'll give some thoughts on it.
I suppose why my friend uses it, is that when some-one buys a tee with his design on he gets money ($2 when on sale, $4 if sold full price). In some ways there is a small corner of me that thinks/hopes the photo would be popular. But being such a pessimist I know in reality the only sale will be mine (which is ok I'm the one that wants the tee with that design after all). Anything else is a very pleasant bonus.
If you want to use the site yourself click HERE or if your taste is as bad as mine and would like a tee with my meeple photo on you can click HERE (there is an initial 3 day auto initial promotion on a new design – IT'S CHEAPER).

NAMA Hair & Body Care is one of my favorite product finds this season! The Moisturizing Skin Food was the first product I tried, and from there Nama had me curious and quickly hooked on their product line. I've used every product as of today and each one is amazing. I'm glad I finally discovered them. Nama uses natural ingredients, paraben-free, sulfate-free, artificial color-free, and free of harsh preservatives. Nama products cover dry skin, damaged hair, sanitary yoga mats and more. They contain everything from aloe to litchi to galanga root. I find the products all very high quality and effective. I'm not sure I've ever found an entire product line where I love every single product until now. I love the smell and feel of everything Nama!
Moisturizing Skin Food: One of my top favorites, mostly because I'll use it daily this winter. It's truly like the name suggests- Skin Food! It contains avocado, olive oil and aloe and absorbs nicely, being somewhere between a cream and lotion. You can feel it working instantly. My skin gets so incredibly dry going into winter season so the moisturizing skin food will be an almost daily use product for me. It smells so refreshing and has a light minty smell. I carry one bottle in my yoga bag and sometimes use it before teaching yoga class. It's an excellent value, and a little goes a long way for me.
Calming Mediation Cream: A MUST for all yoga instructors, massage therapists, those who meditate, or anyone who enjoys calming creams. The soothing cream is sooooo refreshing and calming for meditation, just as the name suggests. It contains essential oils with natural menthol, creating a comforting tingle as you feel it work into the muscles. I just starting using it during savasana and students find it to be a real winner! A regular student said to me this past Monday evening "This was your BEST yoga class EVER tonight." and I have to wonder if savasana played a little roll in that…True story. This product, just like the Moisturizing Skin Food, is a great value and will last a long time.
Yoga Foot Balm: We all neglect our feet. I admit that I don't lotion my feet regularly and everyone should. Especially being a yoga practitioner and instructor I need to give the proper care to my feet. Besides, everything starts from the ground up. It contains a blend of beeswax, shea butter and essential oils and was created to "repair, soften, soothe, and protect dry , rough, and cracked skin on feet, knees, elbows and cuticles." This one's sitting on my nightstand as a reminder to moisturize my feet before bedtime.
Hand & Mat Sanitizer: AWESOME! First hand plus mat sanitizer all-in-one!! Green tea and mint smells light, refreshing and cleanses the hands without a sticky residue that some hand sanitizers are known to do. This one's great to keep in my yoga bag and spray my mat with after each yoga class, especially after power yoga. PLUS, their new 2 oz travel size hand & mat sanitizer takes up hardly any space in my bag and is perfect for traveling. I'm going to keep a few travel size bottles on hand for small gifts for yogi friends. It's great for stocking stuffers with the holidays coming up too and super affordable. I'm also thinking about getting these for our yoga retreat in Belize this December.
Weightless Mositure Shampoo and Daily Nourishing Conditioner: The shampoo bottle reads "with litchi, galanga and sunflower extracts" for deep moisturizing and soy protein to smooth and protect dry or damaged hair. I love the light minty smell…it puts me in total zen mode, totally refreshing me in the shower. The conditioner reads "rich in amino acids and vitamins Pro-B and E" which rebuild protein and vitamins to repair and renew dry or damaged hair. It makes my hair ever so shiny and so soft. The pushup tops of both bottles are super cool and makes it so easy not squeeze out more shampoo and conditioner than I need.
The shampoo and conditioner bottles says they are both safe for color treated hair, paraben-free, sulfate-free and never use harsh preservatives, artificial colors nor ingredients tested on animals just like the entire NAMA product line.
The name says it all….two thumbs up to you, NAMA, and namaste to you!

… There is also the problem of the relative levels of different types of earned income. Here we have the famous marginal productivity theory. In perfect competition an employer is supposed to take on such a number of men that the money value of the marginal product to him, taking account of the price of his output and the cost of his plant, is equal to the money wage he has to pay. Then the real wage of each type of labor is believed to measure its marginal product to society. The salary of a professor of economics measures his contribution to society and the wage of a garbage collector measures his contribution. Of course, this is a very comforting doctrine for professors of economics, but I fear that once more the argument is circular. There is not any measure of marginal products except the wages themselves. In short, we have not got a theory of distribution.
We have nothing to say on the subject which above all others occupies the minds of the people whom economics is supposed to enlighten.
[italics in original]
– Joan Robinson, The Second Crisis Of Economic Theory, 1972. Link
There's an article at Evonomics by Joseph Stiglitz, which is an excerpt from a chapter from a book. Stiglitz has denounced the marginal productivity theory. He says:
The trickle-down notion— along with its theoretical justification, marginal productivity theory— needs urgent rethinking. That theory attempts both to explain inequality— why it occurs— and to justify it— why it would be beneficial for the economy as a whole. This essay looks critically at both claims. It argues in favour of alternative explanations of inequality, with particular reference to the theory of rent-seeking and to the influence of institutional and political factors, which have shaped labour markets and patterns of remuneration. And it shows that, far from being either necessary or good for economic growth, excessive inequality tends to lead to weaker economic performance. In light of this, it argues for a range of policies that would increase both equity and economic well-being.
… Neoclassical economists developed the marginal productivity theory, which argued that compensation more broadly reflected different individuals' contributions to society.
It reminds me of the debate between Paul Krugman and Thomas Palley some time ago. Paul Krugman completely denied all this. In his blog post at his blog for The New York Times, Krugman said in April 2014:
But doesn't that show that conventional economics is indeed capable of accommodating big concerns about inequality? You fairly often find heterodox economists insisting that to accept the idea that capital and labor are paid their marginal products, even as a working hypothesis to be modified when you address things like executive pay, is to accept that high inequality is morally justified. But that's obviously not the case: there are plenty of economists who are willing to use marginal-product models (as gadgets, not as fundamental truth) who don't at all accept the sanctity of the market distribution of income.
So you have two mainstream economists: Paul Krugman defending orthodoxy and Joseph Stiglitz denouncing the marginal productivity theory.

Gunnedah Greyhound Club is gearing up for a big night of racing on Friday.
A full card of 12 races will be run on what is the first of several night meetings the club has scheduled.
Club president Geoff Rose said they received over 170 nominations for the meeting, and not for the first time since the track was refurbished had to turn dogs away.
"There's probably 40 or 50 that missed out," he said.
"It will be a very good meeting. There's some very classy dogs."
One of his picks for the night is William Marmara's Evie's Best in race four.
He also likes the locally-trained Ground Swell (Allan Syphers) in the last.
"He's won seven of his last eight and has drawn the converted one box. He'll take a power of beating," he said.
The feature will be the two heats of the Ladbrokes Monthly Medal.
The first four from those will go through to the final on November 12.
They've also got two top grade races, which Rose said they haven't had for eight or 10 months.
Racing starts at 7.15pm.

Everyone loves a timeless classic and the garden rose certainly ticks that box.
A popular choice, roses are renowned for their colour and fragrance, and the best part is that they require very little gardening skills or experience to grow.
Roses are best grown in a sunny spot, sheltered from strong winds, says Andrew Gold, plant manager at Dobbies, Edinburgh.
"Roses benefit from plenty of room and air, so don't plant them under trees or too close to a wall," he says.
"Be sure to pick a spot that is well lit in the morning and receives at least six hours of sunlight a day.
"Also ensure your spot has plenty of drainage as roses can suffer in wet soils. "Roses root quite deeply, so dig a hole slightly larger than the pot size or root system of your rose bush and spade in some compost. Choose a neutral soil as most roses won't tolerate extreme acidity or alkalinity.
"Plant the rose crown slightly deeper than the original soil and shovel extra soil around the plant. To keep your garden smelling of roses all summer long, sufficient after care is also essential.
Andrew adds: "For the first three to four weeks after planting, you should water your rose often, as the top two inches of soil is liable to drying out.
"After this time, it is advisable to start soaking the bed every two weeks or so – and to achieve the best results, do this in the morning.
"My top tip is to avoid watering the foliage directly as this can cause fungal disease – always water the roots. Begin fertilising approximately three months after planting.
"Don't be afraid to dead-head your roses – doing so encourages the plant to produce more flowers.
"Following these simple, easy-to-do steps will ensure your roses will always be the pick of the bunch!"

Happy long weekend!! Here in Canada, we are celebrating Victoria Day, aka May Two-Four. The weather is finally starting to cooperate and I am hoping to spend the majority of this weekend outdoors! Work is extra busy this time of the year so this long weekend is very, very welcome.
Today is my brother's 11th birthday! Happy birthday Philip, I love you! My mom, brother, and I FaceTimed last night in honour of his birthday-eve and we were reminiscing his birth story. This year, it falls exactly the same way as it did in 2005 -- on a Friday. I was 17 when he was born and I remember it really well. I can't believe he's officially a preteen! We will be celebrating his birthday with a sleepover at my house, some park time, and a trip to one of those jumpy trampoline places.
Yesterday morning was a bit rough. I arrived at my work parking lot and started gathering my things to go inside. I took the keys out of the ignition, threw them in my purse and checked the weather on my phone to see how warm it's going to be. With a high of 19, I knew I wouldn't need my coat so I wanted to leave it in the car. It was a struggle to take off while sitting in the driver's seat, so I got out, grabbed my coffee, put it top of the car and took off my coat. At that moment, another car was trying to pull into the parking spot next to me so I shut the door to give them more room. Have you figured out what happens next in this story? If you guessed that I lock my keys, purse, and phone inside the car, you would be correct. After a few seconds of standing frozen, shocked from my own stupidity, I walk into my office carrying nothing but my coffee (priorities!) I called Mike about 1,234 times from my desk phone. No answer. He's in the shower. Eventually I got through and convinced him to bring the spare keys on his way to work. I was mainly concerned that my open purse was in plain sight and I was worried about someone breaking in. Mike didn't laugh, judge, or scorn. He came, no questions asked -- seriously the best. I'm so lucky that he starts work after me and my office is on the way to his work so that he can rescue me in such times of distress. Major husband points!
I was growing H&M online the other day and found the cutest summer dresses! I love wearing casual light dresses in the summer time and all of these would be perfect for date night or girls' night out. Andddd they are all under $50! Win.
Some of my favourite links from from this week:
- Emily's New York post had me reminiscing about our trip there last December. It's one of my absolute favourite cities in the world and I would gladly hop on a plane any day of the week if it was possible. New York is always a good idea, right?
- Did you see Stephanie's One Room Challenge makeover? She redid her living room and the befores and afters are mindblowing. It looks so amazing now -- I can't believe it's the same space!
- Pamela shared this rosé sangria recipe and it sounds like the perfect drink for the long weekend!
See you on Tuesday!

"Catalyst is a substance which speeds up and speeds down a chemical reaction without itself being used up."
Berzelius (1836) introduced the term catalysis and catalyst.
Ostwald (1895) redefined a catalyst as, "A substance which changes the reaction rate without affecting the overall energetics of the reaction is termed as a catalyst and the phenomenon is known as catalysis."
Catalytic reactions can be broadly divided into the following types,
(1) Homogeneous catalysis : When the reactants and the catalyst are in the same phase (i.e. solid, liquid or gas). The catalysis is said to be homogeneous. The following are some of the examples of homogeneous catalysis.
(i) In the lead chamber process
(ii) In the hydrolysis of ester
(iii) In the hydrolysis of sugar
(2) Heterogeneous catalysis: The catalytic process in which the reactants and the catalyst are in different phases is known as heterogeneous catalysis. Some of the examples of heterogeneous catalysis are given below.
(i) In contact process for H2SO4
(ii) In Haber's process for NH3
(iii) In Ostwald's process for HNO3
(3) Positive catalysis: When the rate of the reaction is accelerated by the foreign substance, it is said to be a positive catalyst and phenomenon as positive catalysis. Some examples of positive catalysis are given below.
(i) Decomposition of KClO3
(ii) Oxidation of SO2
(iii) Decon's process
(4) Negative catalysis: There are certain, substance which, when added to the reaction mixture, retard the reaction rate instead of increasing it. These are called negative catalyst or inhibitors and the phenomenon is known as negative catalysis. Some examples are as follows.
(i) Oxidation of sodium sulphite
(ii) Oxidation of benzaldehyde
(iii) Tetra ethyl lead (TEL) is added to petrol to retard the ignition of petrol vapours on compression in an internal combustion engine and thus minimise the knocking effect.
(5) Auto-catalysis : In certain reactions, one of the product acts as a catalyst. In the initial stages the reaction is slow but as soon as the products come into existences the reaction rate increases. This type of phenomenon is known as auto-catalysis. Some examples are as follows,
(i) The rate of oxidation of oxalic acid by acidified potassium permanganate increases as the reaction progresses. This acceleration is due to the presence of Mn2+ ions which are formed during reaction. Thus Mn2+ ions act as auto-catalyst.
(ii) When nitric acid is poured on copper, the reaction is very slow in the beginning, gradually the reaction becomes faster due to the formation of nitrous acid during the reaction which acts as an auto-catalyst.
(6) Induced catalysis : When one reaction influences the rate of other reaction, which does not occur under ordinary conditions, the phenomenon is known as induced catalysis. Some examples are as follows,
(i) Sodium arsenite solution is not oxidised by air. If, however, air is passed through a mixture of the solution of sodium arsenite and sodium sulphite, both of them undergo simultaneous oxidation. The oxidation of sodium sulphite, thus, induces the oxidation of sodium arsenite.
(ii) The reduction of mercuric chloride (HgCl2) with oxalic acid is very slow, but potassium permanganate is reduced readily with oxalic acid. If, however, oxalic acid is added to a mixture of potassium permanganate HgCl2 and both are reduced simultaneously. The reduction of potassium permanganate, thus, induces the reduction of mercuric chloride.
(7) Acid-base catalysis : According to the Arrheniusand Ostwald H+ or H– ion act as a catalyst.
(i) For example, Hydrolysis of an ester,
(ii) Inversion of cane sugar,
(iii) Conversion of acetone into diacetone alcohol,

Missouri Drone Registration
Missouri is a state located in the Midwestern United States. It is the 21st most extensive, and the 18th most populous of the fifty states. IT covers 69,709 square miles, and around 6,100,000 people live there. The state comprises 114 counties and the independent city of St. Louis. As defined by the 2010 US census, the four largest urban areas in order of population are St. Louis, Kansas City, Springfield, and Columbia. The mean center of the United States population at the 2010 census was in the town of Plato in Texas County. The state's capital is Jefferson City. The land that is now Missouri was acquired from France as part of the Louisiana Purchase and became known as the Missouri Territory. Part of this territory was admitted into the union as the 24th state on August 10, 1821. Missouri's geography is highly varied. The northern part of the state lies in dissected till plains and the southern portion lies in the Ozark Mountains (a dissected plateau), with the Missouri River dividing the regions. The state lies at the intersection of the three greatest rivers of United States, with the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers near St. Louis, and the confluence of the Ohio River with the Mississippi north of the Bootheel. The starting points for the Pony Express, Santa Fe Trail, and Oregon Trail were all located in Missouri as well. Average elevation is 800 feet, but with great variations in height. You can fly your drones in many places in Missouri, but first you have to register them.
The Federal Aviation Administration announced that all units weighing between 0.55 pounds and 50 pounds must be registered by February 19th, 2016. Anyone caught flying without proper registration after that date could face stiff penalties. The FAA says civil penalties include a fine of up to $27,500. Criminal penalties include a fine of up to $250,000 and up to three years in jail.
Registration Info:
- Unmanned flying machines that are operated outside have "a maximum takeoff weight" of anywhere between 250 grams and 55 pounds are required to register.
- Each owner would get a single registration number so if he or she has multiple drones, they don't all need to be registered individually.
- Users don't need to be registered to purchase a drone, but they do have to be registered before they start flying it.
- Name and street address are required to register, but the serial number of the drone, owner mailing address, phone number and email are all optional.
- You have to be 13 years old or older to register.
- The FAA doesn't require information about citizenship or residency to register.
- Registration is free.
- The registration system will live online and likely be accessible through an app as well. There will also be an API component that would allow for the creation of custom apps that could work in concert with the database.
- Owners will receive an electronic copy of their registration certificate but a paper copy will also be available. The e-certificate will have the owner's name, FAA registration number, a confirmation link and the drone serial number if it was included in the registration form. Operators would need to have the certificate on hand while using the drone in the event of an inspection.
- The FAA-issued registration number must be visible on the drone.
Registration steps:
- You must provide your complete name, physical address, mailing address, and an email address. The email address will be used as your login ID when you set up your account.
- Pay fee of $5 to FAA.
- You will receive a unique registration number that applies to any and all UAS that you own. You must mark all of your UAS with the unique registration number before operating. A registration certificate that contains the unique FAA registration number, the issue and expiration dates, and the name of the certificate holder will be sent to your email address immediately.
Missouri Drone Rules:
- Fly no higher than 400 feet and remain below any surrounding obstacles when possible.
- Fly within visual line of sight.
- Remain well clear of and do not interfere with manned aircraft operations, and you must see and avoid other aircraft and obstacles at all times.
- Do not fly near emergency response efforts, like fires.
- Do not fly for payment or commercial purpose.
- Do not fly over groups of people.
- Do not fly in adverse weather conditions such as in high winds or reduced visibility.
- Do not fly under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- Do not fly over stadiums and sports events.
- Do not be careless or reckless with your unmanned aircraft – you could be fined for endangering people or other aircraft.
- It is illegal to take photos or record videos of people on private property.
- Do not use a drone to gather, store or collect evidence of any type.
- Do not fly over unprotected persons or moving vehicles, and remain at least 25 feet away from individuals and vulnerable property.
- Do not fly near or over sensitive infrastructures such as power stations, water treatment facilities, correctional facilities, heavily traveled roadways, government facilities, etc.
- Contact the airport or control tower before flying within five miles of an airport.

Board of Directors
Mary Lou Kelsey, President
I was born and raised in Lakewood, Ohio. I graduated from University of Cincinnati with a Bachelor Degree in Nursing in 1975 and worked as an RN in orthopedics, psychiatry and labor & delivery. I also worked at the University of Oregon Health Science Center and at Forest Grove Community Hospital in the obstetrics department. I completed graduate school in 1981 at the University of Utah with a Masters of Nursing with a thesis in "Physical Fitness and Pregnancy" and proudly attained my Certification as a Nurse Midwife. In 1981 I moved to Homer and began working as an RN, ANP with family physicians, Drs. Eneboe and Bell, to provide a full-scope midwifery service which is currently a thriving 4 CNM service at South Peninsula Hospital.
I have been interested in reproductive health since I was a young bewildered teen and sought information that could guide my health care choices. I have focused on women's health in my professional work and have tried to encourage self-empowerment through access to education and clinical services for all clients. I would like to continue promoting access to reproductive health and youth outreach services in our community by serving on the KBFP board.
Irene Saxton-Opatz, Vice-President
I grew up in Homer, and started volunteering at KBFPC in high school. Right away, I felt that I had found a place that I really belonged, that I had found my "people". I moved to Seattle, and then Portland, getting degrees in Women's Studies and Research Psychology while involving myself in politics, sexual health education, sexuality and gender issues along the way. During that time, I learned a lot; through both being in the trenches of grassroots organizing for equality and watching my friends struggle with access. After 15 years in the city, it was time to come home. Although the city life has just about anything you could imagine, it was missing the community that I felt when I was in Homer.
I recently moved back to Homer, and since I have been gone, I have been able to see the amazing impact that KBFPC has had on our community. Keeping KBFPC a mainstay in this community is something that I am passionate about, for it is obvious to me that such a resource is both necessary and appreciated. Being someone that identifies within the LGBTQ community, LGBTQ awareness and resources are incredibly important to my family and me. I've seen firsthand how voices can be silenced by invisibility and because of that, lose access and resources. As I watch the news I see daily attacks on women's rights, trans rights and youth sexual health education. I want to fight for these rights, for myself and my fellow community members. As a member of the KBFPC Board of Directors, I hope that I am able to help broaden the scope of our organization into the community as a whole, in terms of sexuality, gender, education, and expand access and knowledge for everyone.
If I am not yelling at my radio in frustration or helping to plan a fundraiser for KBFPC, I am usually hanging out with my daughter, reading books, walking on the beach or playing music.
Zelda Collett-Paule, Treasurer
I first moved to Anchorage in 1975. I have two grown sons, and four grandchildren. After the unplanned homebirth of my second son (FAST labor), I became involved in the homebirth community in Anchorage. I apprenticed under a direct-entry midwife and then started my own homebirth practice. As a direct-entry midwife, I realized that I would also like to provide well woman health care. So, I made the decision to go to school to become a certified nurse-midwife (CNM). I received my BSN from UAA in 1989, my CNM from Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing in 1993, and my MSN from Case Western University in 1998.
Upon becoming a CNM, I opened a freestanding birth center in Anchorage. I provided OB and well woman care to a vast variety of women, young and old. We provided care on a sliding scale basis for cash payers, we also were covered by most insurance companies and Medicaid. The last six years I lived in Anchorage I worked at the Alaska Native Medical Center.
I moved to Homer in 2009. When I first moved here I filled in as a provider at the KBFPC. I have always believed in the importance of providing affordable health care for girls and women of all ages. Working at the KBFPC, I realized the need to provide affordable care to males also. I am excited about the continually growing services that the REC Room provides to the teens in Homer. I like to participate on the board to help the KBFPC continue to be a valuable resource in Homer for healthcare, education and outreach.
Melon Purcell, Secretary
I became interested in family planning right out of college. As a volunteer with Planned Parenthood in a small rural New York college town, I finally got to ask, and later answer for others, all the questions that I could not ask at home. It was so good to finally understand my body.
Many years later when I moved to Homer, I was introduced to KBFPC by my good friend. I started on the Board back in 1987 and have served ever since because I believe in the mission of KBFPC. It has been very rewarding to be a part of the evolution of the Clinic. When otherwise engaged, I teach first grade at McNeil and encourage my airplane-building husband. For fun, I ride my horse, garden and walk the dogs.
Bill Noomah, Member
After graduating from college in 1982 I spent most of the next four years working with homeless people in Portland, Oregon and Juneau, Alaska. Both of the agencies I worked for struggled to provide more than just food and temporary shelter. In Portland, our agency established a separate shelter for women with children and the city's first medical clinic to serve only the homeless. Access to and knowledge of reproductive services were compounding factors in the situation for many homeless people.
For the last twenty-five years I have taught elementary school in Homer, and with my wife, raised our three children. I am strongly committed to the mission of Kachemak Bay Family Planning Clinic and hope to channel my teaching experience to support the education design and outreach of the clinic.
Shay Hoffman, Member
We have a couple of those potholders that kids weave on square looms using multi-colored bands. My relationship with KBFPC seems like one of those circles of color weaving in and out over years, in a varied pattern.
I concentrated on alternative models of health care for low-income women in my undergraduate studies then wandered off into household goods and landscaping before coming back around to women's health. Acting on the good advice of friends I came to visit Homer in 1996 and settled here in 1999. I started with the Board of Directors shortly thereafter, and the next year began working at the Clinic as an assistant, taking a break with the birth of my son in 2001. Sometimes on the Board, sometimes part-time, sometimes full-time, sometimes a combination of the above, I have found it impossible to leave KBFPC altogether for very long.
Working at the Clinic actually inspired me to go back to school and earn a nursing degree. The quality of care, the education and grace of providers and staff, and the dedication of the Board and all the supporters are testaments to the nature of a place I believe to be unmatched in the field. Family Planning has always prioritized respectful, evidence-based care and offers progressive modalities in a secure and supportive environment. One of my favorite ways to celebrate the Clinic is to relate to others how so often a young person walks through the door feeling any combination of frightened, ashamed, or resistant, and walks out feeling reassured, confident and empowered. . I believe this community is very fortunate to have KBFPC, and I am glad to be a part of its continued presence and growth.
Anna Germundson, Member
I moved to Homer after graduating college with a degree in Political Science. I got a job at Mako's Water Taxi, and from there I fell in love with the town and the people but especially the services that KBFPC provides. Moving here as a 26 year old with no health insurance, the clinic was a very helpful resource for me. KBFPC is also a one of a kind place for many others who don't have insurance or who are recently sexually active or in need of education. As a member of the KBFPC Board of Directors, I hope that this organization continues to be as lively as it is and continues to grow to reach more people throughout Homer and the surrounding areas.
When I'm not working I enjoy reading political blogs, hiking, biking and cooking good food!
Zoe Story, Member
I grew up in Homer, Alaska as a very involved kid just like most Homer kids. I participated in Girl Scouts, theater camps, synchronized swimming and other sports. All of this lead to a love for my community and interest in working with other youth.
When I was 16 years old and sophomore in high school I received my first job, I landed a position at Kachemak Bay Family Planning Clinic as a Peer Health Educator with the R.E.C. Room. I gained so much experience from this position over the rest of my high school career. It really snapped me into the person I was becoming.
After I graduated and moved on from KBFPC I traveled to Cambodia where I taught English at an orphanage. My previous teaching experience with KBFPC helped me get a wonderful position with an orphanage that I could really help make a difference. They write pretty great English and we still keep in touch today! I continued to do more traveling after my Cambodian adventure.
I moved to Seattle, Washington to complete clinical and sports massage therapy training and am now a practicing therapist back in Homer . I absolutely love being able to help people in such a positive way. I recently traveled to India where I completed my 200 hr teacher training for Yoga and also teach here in town. I've fallen in love with alternative healing and body work but I am still VERY passionate about women's reproductive rights and comprehensive evidence based education for everyone. SO it is a huge honor for me to sit on the board of KBFPC and still get to be involved in our community in this way.

Originally from Georgia, Robbi spent several years in San Francisco as an event organizer and operations manager before moving to Alaska in 2010 to work as an intern on a small farm. She eventually found herself taking on the role of Homer Farmers Market Manager and Coordinator for the Kachemak Bay Shorebird Festival. Robbi is also the Local Foods Coordinator for Cook Inletkeeper, organizing efforts to create greater food security by connecting more people to healthy, local foods. She holds a B.A. in Environmental Anthropology from the University of Georgia.
Amy Woodruff, Member
I grew up in Seattle and studied Public Policy at the University of Chicago. After graduation I moved to Homer to live with family and experience life in Alaska. I loved Homer from the first moment and knew I wanted to put down roots here. I worked at the Farmer's Market and as a substitute teacher, and volunteered with Kachemak Emergency Services and the R.E.C. Room. I left in 2014 to serve in the Peace Corps in Ecuador, where I worked with a local library and community members in my village to expand educational and recreational opportunities for young people. Since I returned to Homer in 2016 I have worked at Haven House as an advocate, forensic interviewer, and a violence prevention specialist.
In Homer, Seattle, Chicago, and abroad, I have seen the difference that high-quality reproductive health care can make in the lives of people of all ages. I am proud to support KBFPC and the services they provide to the community. The R.E.C. Room and PHAT have a special place in my heart because I know healthy relationships require more than just amazing clinic staff– Teaching communication skills, knowledge, and the courage to advocate for yourself are all part of the package at KBFPC.
Joseph Lapp, Member
While my passion for sexual and reproductive healthcare did not originate at KBFPC, the privilege of working at the clinic for several years certainly solidified and enhanced that passion. Since leaving KBFPC I've done volunteer with with rape crisis and domestic violence response organizations in both Alaska and New Mexico, as well as serving on the board of Alaskans Together for Equality. I spent the past three years in New Mexico acquiring a bachelor's degree in nursing in a program which I structured to focus on maternal-child and women's healthcare. After graduation I worked as a postpartum nurse with a particular focus on working with new mothers struggling with addiction and their opiate exposed newborns. Now that I've moved back to Homer I can think of no better way to give back to KBFPC than by offering my energy and experience to support the work of the clinic by serving on its board.

Ion Hazzikostas has already told us that the Timeless Isle, coming in patch 5.4, is meant to be a different sort of experience for gamers:
Note that the Timeless Isle is largely a self-directed experience, which diverges somewhat from our recent practice. You aren't going to find a hub of daily questgivers or NPCs who will assign you specific tasks to complete. There is a ton to do on the Timeless Isle, and countless secrets to discover, so go explore!
But that begs the question of what exactly we should expect on the Timeless Isle -- and, fortunately, Wowhead has come to assuage our curiosity with a look at the rare spawns and events to be found in this strange new place. So far they've found more than 20 rares as well as a number of events. The island has a heavy pirate focus, with plenty of spectral sailors as well as the ability to summon the Dread Ship Vazuvius and help the ghostly Tomb "Tom" Bone Apart find his body. But pirates aren't all there is on the Timeless Isle and, if we trust Hazzikostas about there being tons to do, we may find even more before 5.4 launches.
