It is a seamless means of outsourcing your corporate giving program.
Your Philanthropy Becomes Cost-Effective and Efficient
Charitable giving through the Community Foundation is based on a standard agreement between you and the Foundation. There is no fee to create a fund and a very low cost to administer the fund. We provide tax receipts for all contributions and many years of experience accepting all types of assets including cash, stock and real estate.

Grantmaking is a more robust charitable giving option that allows you to fund local programs or projects through a community grant application process. We offer a range of service to ensure that your grant dollars create impact in your community.

It is almost clear that Turkey will not ever be seen the same way it was seen before the failed coup that took place last July. It still hard to explain how was it possible for Erdogan to turn an insurrection against his government into his favour. The absolute influence that the government is exerting over the people is touching every aspect of their life, and contrasting it would inevitably be linked to go against religion. The problem is that, even though a part of the population seemed open to embrace progress and to stand for liberty against this government, all of a sudden, everyone seemed prone to give its support to Erdogan and no one was anymore ready to admit a different way of thought

The war in Syria is not to be explained only by the political infighting in the country between the Alawites and the Sunni majority, but also by an important energy deal between Russia and Iran. Both the countries intend to steer the energy market in the Middle East and the Gulf region, substantially influencing the price of gas and crude oil on the world markets against other potential competitors in the sector. On the other hand, Turkey's strategy is to become an energy hub with Russia's help too, also on the aftermath of its difficult relations with the US and the EU after the failed military coup that has drifted the West and Turkey further apart. In the following exclusive article for EPOS, Gregorio Baggiani analyses the situation pointing out all the geopolitical implications and the economical strategies

Bangladesh is constitutionally a secular State but, since the Sixties, the secularist nature of the country has been put in danger by the strong impulses given by the extremist Islamic groups. Although the government should protect the believers of any religion and defend those who express their position against Islam, in the last years too many secularist bloggers and intellectuals that spread messages of religious openness and of gender equality have been killed. A chain of violence and terror is threatening pacific coexistence in Bangladesh and the survival of religious minorities. EPOS' analyst Valeria Sforzini investigates and discusses the sensitive issues of the "sectarian terror" in Bangladesh in the following article

Rush! This is what the Kosovans, both Albanian and Serbian, are asking the European Union. As most of the Balkan countries have already obtained concession from the EU, especially regarding the issue of Visa, Kosova is currently claiming to move freerly in the European Union, deleting the EU Visa Policy as already happened for Serbia. After "Brexit", the strongest supporters of the European Union are in the Balkans, and mainly in Kosovo. But all the problems of democracy, economy, law, justice, human rights, etc. should be solved after the association.

Recently, more than thirty people were killed in Kashmir in exchange of turmoils between Indian security forces and Kashmiri people. Unless it is contained, violence may escalate and plunge the whole region into deadly cycle of attacks with loss of civilian life and consequent economic destruction. India and Pakistan must revive the peace process. The more they procrastinate, the more the stalemate would be hardened. The more they dry the channels of bilateral communication, the more it will be opportune for the spoilers to exploit the volatile situation. EPOS analyst Debidatta Aurobinda Mahapatra analyses the situation from the ground, discussing the ongoing violence in Kahsmir and the challenges that all the actors are going to face, and he gives EPOS' readers an exclusive point of view on the issue

In the aftermah of the failed coup attempt, many questions raise and need to be answered, thus EPOS has interviewed PhD Federico Donelli, expert in Turkish affairs with particular focus to Davutoglu's doctrine and Turkey's opening to different regions such as Africa and Latin America.

In the following exclusive interview for EPOS he discusses the failed coup attempt in Turkey, exploring what he calls the Sultanate Presidentialism of Mr. Erdogan with which the executive power will be strengthened as a response to the military golpe

Past Reader Group Book Discussion
The Quest of Perkins Vale by L. B. Dunbar
I'm not sure I know what to think of the girl I've searched for since I was thirteen; she isn't exactly how I remembered her.
I'm twenty-five, a guy and a virgin. Yep, you read that right; I'm still a virgin. Why you ask? Because I met the woman of my dreams when she was still a girl and I've been searching for her ever since we met. I've saved myself for her, as I believe she saved herself for me. Why again? Because I will love her, like she will love me, when we finally meet, again. I'd like to think it was that simple, but I don't really know if she will love me. I only hope she will. If she doesn't, she won't be the right girl for me, because like I said, I've been saving myself for the woman of my dreams. I just don't know where she is…but I won't stop searching until I find her. That is my mission. My quest.

Julie Harris: He Is Arisen
"Tenn had purchased a gift for Julie in the French Quarter. In a voodoo shop, he passed up a number of amulets, skulls, animal skins, beads, and candles to find a tiny and lovely photograph of a dark-skinned girl encased in bright material. It was clearly handmade, and Tenn asked the proprietor about its provenance. 'It's from Milagro,' he was told. 'What does that mean?' Tenn asked. 'It means it's powerful,' was the response, so Tenn bought it for Julie, and I held it for almost nine years before giving it to her.
"She wept and told me that she had recently attended church services for the Easter season. 'In one church,' she remembered, 'the cross had been made bare, the Christ figure removed. This was not a time for sadness, for he had arisen and was in his place. He will be back on that cross in time, of course, for us to look upon and grimace and love and try to understand, but for now he's away and all is well. I look at this,' she said, looking down at the icon, 'and I know that Tennessee Williams is dead, and I know that this is devastating to me, but he's on no cross at all--he is arisen, and he arises every time a play of his is read in a bedroom or a classroom or a library; every time it is produced in a basement or a high school or a theater. They can't hurt my friend anymore. He's gone from all of this."--Julie Harris/From Follies of God: Tennessee Williams and the Women of the Fog by James Grissom (Alfred A. Knopf )

I now buy a black sheet for all my boards at the beginning of the year and buy borders that can withstand the year and look good no matter the time of year. The boards in my room are used for our daily learning and reference. I don't put up cute projects that are only relevant to one day...I save that for the hall.
When thinking of what should be displayed on the boards I think about: 1.what do the students need to be successful, 2. what am I obligated to display, 3. what do I think will motivate the students, and 4. how likely will it be that someone uses the board.
I left this as a whiteboard because we will be using it as our Inquiry Board and I would like the students to write on it as our inquiries grow.
This Word Wall is on a whiteboard and will stay the same except for the addition of words. I decided not to make it a sight word board but a vocabulary board. I printed the Dolch words pre-primer through 3rd onto one sheet and laminated it for each child. You can pick it up here: SightWordSheet
This is my favorite board. During Meet the Teacher night, I take pictures of each family. We use this board ALL.THE.TIME! When the students miss their families, when they need to think about solving a problem, when they need a character for a story...the list goes on and on to how we use this board in class.
So as I said before, I save the boards in our room for our learning. Right now our reading and writing have displayed anchor charts that we are referring back to again and again. Math has our strategies and rotations.
This board is our display for the hall. Each month I change the quilt with monthly pictures. I use props like glasses or hats that show the time of year (bat glasses, elf hat, etc.). At the end of the year we make a scrapbook of our year. Parents and students love it!
Now that I have found what works for me and most importantly my students, I don't hate the boards anymore!

Lenovo issues statement, promises to sell 8-inch Windows tablets in US
Following news reporting Lenovo's plans to abandon the Microsoft Windows tablet market of devices 10-inches or smaller, the Chinese electronics manufacturer issued a new statement. Even though current supply is being sold on foreign markets, Lenovo will release new smaller-screen products in the United States again:
Here is what the company said in a statement: "We will continue to bring new Windows devices to market across different screen sizes, including a new 8-inch tablet and 10-inch tablet coming this holiday. Our model mix changes as per customer demand, and although we are no longer selling ThinkPad 8 in the U.S., and we have sold out of Miix 8-inch, we are not getting out of the small-screen Windows tablet business in both the U.S. and non-U.S. markets."
The tablet market is a fierce competition between Apple and Samsung, but there is still room for other companies to grab attention.


text: Cabinets play an important role in the kitchen. They need to be both esthetical and functional. Base cabinets are the main attraction in the kitchen and you can be sure that everybody will notice them. On the other hand, wall cabinets offer a more dramatic look, giving the cuisine a living room look. But the most important aspect of all is to be functional. Kitchen base cabinets need to have an ergonomic design in order to help you store everything. The best ones are those that can stock utensils like pots and frying pans, but also small items like cutlery and spices. Continue reading

Falconer Central School District School Resource Officer Program
The Falconer Central School District, in collaboration with the Chautauqua County Sheriff Department, established the School Resource Officer position in the fall of 2001. The School Resource Officer is a sworn police officer and a member of the Chautauqua County Sheriff Department. The SRO was originally assigned full-time to the Falconer Central District. In September 2005, the program went through some changes and the Chautauqua County Sheriff SRO was changed to serve Falconer on a part-time basis with the Town of Ellicott also providing a police officer to fill the SRO duties on alternating days. The CCSD SRO and TOE SRO serve a population of approximately 1500 students and their parents.
The SRO serves as teacher, counselor, role model, and advocate for students, families, faculty and staff. The SRO is not the school disciplinarian, nor doe he/she supplant any other staff function. He/she brings full service, personalized policing to an important segment of our community. With a full-time presence in the schools, the SRO is easily recognized and approachable for students.
In the classroom, the SRO present classes on topics such as history of law enforcement, search and seizure, constitutional rights, criminal law, and drug abuse.
The SRO's duties extend far beyond the classroom and normal work day. The officer participates in PTO and faculty meetings, club projects, student social functions, and sporting events. The SRO's presence demonstrates the officer's commitment to the students and tends to strengthen the student/police bond. This also demonstrates the police department's willingness to go beyond the normal tour of duty for the safety and interest of the students.
The ultimate goal of an SRO program is to maintain and improve the safety of the learning environment in our schools through the reduction and prevention of school violence and drug abuse. The School Resource Officer is armed and required to wear his uniform at all times. He is always recognizable as a police officer. While his primary focus is prevention and deterrence, the SRO conducts all criminal investigations on campus, coordinating his activities with the building administrator. Although under the direct supervision of the Police Department, he is considered a member of the school faculty and, as such, works closely with the principal or assistant principal to determine the best course of action.

Erika + Brian :: Blue Lake Ranch Durango Wedding
At some point during the long (and terribly fun) reception, a bride's maid asked "what do you think makes a great wedding?" It took me just a moment to respond "fun friends, warm family, great music, and MAGIC light!" Erika & Brian ordered up all in big quantities for their super sweet wedding at Blue Lake Ranch, just outside of Durango!
Erika did such an amazing job as her own d-i-y iPod DJ – the guests responded with a huge dance party. I don't think the Ridgewood Event Center has ever seen such a fun event. Big laughs! Driving home the next day I came upon a movie crew shooting North of Del Norte … had to stop when I saw this old hot rod!
Planning a Blue Lake Ranch Durango wedding, or perhaps another Colorado destination wedding? Please click on the camera below to see if I'm available on your day.

Stephen and Zachary are tired of watching 22 minutes worth of anime every week. They need something new. They need something exciting! How about 60 minutes worth of anime?
That's right – Sad Senpai and the Gaijin Kid take on a movie this week with Super Mario Bros.: The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach. The film, which originally hit Japanese theaters in 1986, holds the distinction of being the very first film adaptation of a video game. It also never left Japanese shores. You may wonder why that's the case. As Stephen finds out over the course of the film, there's a very good reason for that.
Super Mario Bros.: The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach was never released on anything but rental VHS. As you can imagine, it's incredibly difficult to find. You can grab a download of the film alongside the three OVAs here. We only watched the first 60 minutes – which contains the film – because Stephen couldn't take anymore.
If you enjoyed hearing Zachary and Stephen talk about anime for 22 minutes, you also might like hearing them talk with two other excellent dudes about video games for an hour each week over at Disembodied Voices.

I am so excited to share my layout, "Hello Love" using the brand new All About Fall 12x12 cut file. I sized the file to 10.7 x 10.7 inches in my Silhouette program and cut from white cardstock.
I backed each individual leaf with four different papers, sometimes using two different papers per leaf to really highlight this lovely cut file design.
To add more detail to the leaves, I opted to machine-stitch the centers, using both a straight stitch and a slight zigzag, just for fun.
I embellished my layout with die cuts, sprinkling in the hex shapes down the page and adding a few florals at the bottom right of the photo area. The photo is layered on paper scraps in the same patterns as the leaves, with one additional pattern to really make it pop. I also used foam adhesive to add dimension to the photo and title.
Thanks so much for checking out my first page for The Cut Shoppe team! I cannot wait to share all the fun projects I've been making with the new files Ashley has designed.

I have been ubber busy creating things so when I get back to school I have things ready freddy! Unfortunately our fairly new resources don't cover everything they're put in our fresh-off-the-printer district outcomes. Perfect. So I've been busy putting my creative juices to work. I feel bad because I don't have pictures of finished projects and such yet, because I haven't been at school, but as I make them I'll be sure to post pictures!
I have been posting things in my Teacher's Notebook store, and I posted 2 things tonight. Including 1 fabulous planner that I spent forever on! I wanted the perfect planner for my life, so the only reasonable answer was to make one!! Hopefully it helps someone out there! I'll try to get it together tomorrow and post a picture!!
I must be off to bed soon, as I've been going to bed way late, and sleeping way late (10:00am... I know, I'm not sure the last time I was able to sleep until 10am, but apparently my body went retro, circa 2000's and let me sleep until 10!). I'll be sure to post things as soon as I make them!! :)

Ida Wells-Barnett
Ida Wells-Barnett crusaded aggressively for civil rights her entire life and was unafraid to exercise those rights when custom ran contrary to the law. Involved in many civil rights causes, she played leadership roles in the women's suffrage movement and in the founding of the NAACP. Ida Wells-Barnett became the era's most outspoken crusader for ending the practice of lynching African-Americans.
Social issues Ida Wells-Barnett addressed:
- Civil rights
- Voting rights for women
- Peace and justice
Social issues that need to be addressed today:
- Civil Rights – The Civil Rights Act of 1964 outlawed unequal application of voter registration requirements and racial segregation in schools, the workplace and by facilities that serve the general public. Even though we have made progress, prejudice and racism are still with us. The need to protect the equal rights of all is as important as ever.
- Voting Rights for Women - Sixty-three percent of female citizens 18 and older who reported voting in the 2012 presidential election. By comparison, 59.7 percent of their male counterparts reported voting. Source
- Peace and Justice – Peace and justice is needed in many communities and countries around the world – kids have an innate ability to promote peace. Source

Rated 3.2 out of 5 stars
By Amanda Hocking
Book 1: Switched - Book 2: Torn - Book 3: Ascend
When Wendy was six years old, her mother was convinced that she was a monster sent to replace her real child, and tried to kill her. Ever since that day, Wendy never let herself get close to another person- she got in more fights than she could remember and got kicked out of every school on the East Coast. Her brother and aunt always assumed that she was traumatized by the events that took place with her mother, but what if it was more than that? What if her mother was right? The day Wendy meets Finn, a new boy at her latest school- she feels herself being drawn to another person for the first time in her life. But Finn isn't any ordinary boy from school. He reveals to her who he really is- a Trylle. Trylle are mythical trolls that live in guarded compound structures throughout the world. And Wendy is a changeling- a Trylle that took the place of a human baby when it was born. Now Finn wants Wendy to come home and learn about her Trylle heritage. Is she willing to give up her family and her life to learn who she really is and why she has always felt different?
I did enjoy the concept of this series, as the idea of trolls is original and not much explored in the urban fantasy genre. But I never really felt a true connection to any of the characters. The world building wasn't as good as it could have been, and the idea of these troll like creatures being beautiful and human looking threw me off. Wendy was a brat- throwing temper tantrums and getting into fights constantly. Wendy is meant to be a princess and eventually queen in the Trylle world, and yet everyone treats her as if she doesn't matter. The entire concept ended up being frustrating to me. Keep reading for spoilers...

Monitoring & Evaluation: Overview
As actors who play a major role in not only managing, but also raising considerable amounts of aid resources, international NGOs have a responsibility to demonstrate that they are achieving results. The need to better measure what aid is (or is not) achieving has become a major focus for a wide range of development actors, both domestically and internationally, especially as foreign aid resources come under strain.
InterAction's Evaluation and Program Effectiveness Working Group (EPEWG) is dedicated to enhancing the capacity of our members to measure and demonstrate their effectiveness, and to informing donor policies and practices on monitoring, evaluation, accountability and learning. The group also serves as a forum for InterAction members to exchange information on tools, best or cutting-edge practices, and experiences on topics of interest.
Our current focus areas include:
To learn more about InterAction's work on these topics, please see the Practitioner Tools section. Those new to the field may also find the list of general resources found here helpful.
The Evaluation and Program Effectiveness Working Group is open to InterAction members only. Non-members are welcome to join our Evaluation Interest Group (EIG), which receives our monthly evaluation newsletter and is invited to participate in certain working group events. To join either the Evaluation and Program Effectiveness Working Group or the Evaluation Interest Group listserv, or for additional information on our work in this area, please contact Ben Bestor.

text: Extinction Of Mankind don't really need an introduction, do they? Anarcho metallic crust punk from the UK heavily influenced by Antisect as the lettering/artwork suggests. They must have quite a massive discography by now. Saw them live a couple of times in the mid '90s but they never appealed to me much I'm afraid… This is their first recording, a lengthy 10-track tape that reeks of cider breath and filthy black rags. I've seen a different version of this tape with an alternate cover so I'm guessing it had been reissued at some point, but I got this copy straight from the band upon its release so I guess it's as authentic as you can get.

Police, DPS pursuit on I-10 starts near Chandler, ends with 3 arrests
05/08/14 - Five law-enforcement agencies were involved in a pursuit that lasted over a half hour late Wednesday night along Interstate 10 that ended when an Arizona Department of Public Safety officer wrecked the suspects' car, according to a DPS spokesman.
The pursuit began after 11 p.m. near the Wild Horse Pass casino when a DPS car attempted to stop the suspects, said Raul Garcia, a DPS spokesman.
The vehicle fled and officers from Phoenix, Mesa, Chandler and the Gila River Indian Community joined in the pursuit, Garcia said.
Officers tried to use spike strips to puncture the car's tires, but the attempt failed, Garcia said. A DPS officer then performed an intervention technique and brought the front of his vehicle in contact with the rear quarter-panel of the fleeing car, spinning it out of control, Garcia said.
The suspect vehicle reportedly rolled onto its side after the maneuver was performed near 40th Street and Pecos Road, and the pursuit ended shortly before 11:40 p.m.
Investigators found 45 pounds of marijuana inside the car, Garcia said,.
Three people were arrested after they were treated at the scene by paramedics, he said.
Amy Goodin, 30, Jorge Burgos, 21 and Juan Burbo-Gonzalez, 55, were arrested on suspicion of a variety of crimes, including marijuana possession and fleeing from law enforcement, Garcia said.

Teaching Your Teacup Pig Some Manners
As people in Vermont become more and more aware of having
teacup pigs
as pets we see an influx on how to handle them as household pets. From Rutland to Burlington we know people who have contacted us through our website at pamperedpiglets.com with general questions regarding their teacup pigs. One thing to keep in mind about a teacup pig in general is the fact that from day one you need to treat a teacup pig like a normal pet. Why would you treat them any different? They are pets that become members of your family just like more conventional household pets such as dogs or cats. The thing to remember about pigs and more specifically teacup pigs is that they are very intelligent animals. Just like people who become bored when teacup pigs become bored they will generally look for something to do. The difference with teacup pigs is that when they look for something else to do it can involve them getting into a little bit of mischief. This is why it is best to engage them in activities whenever possible.
If you give your teacup pig to much freedom and just let them run all over the place then they will likely do so. You need to set boundaries with them just like you would do with a dog. Although it may be challenging at first you will be surprised at how quick teacup pigs in particular will respond to you. They will respect your wishes as an owner and will be obedient once they know exactly what you expect from them. It is all about first setting those ground rules though. You may not like the idea of reprimanding your pet, but hey if it comes to it, you have to do it. You will likely only have to do it once and your teacup will absorb the info and move on.
You will also want to give those toys and other things so they can focus their energy on something other than the valuable things around your house. All pets have energy at times and teacup pigs are no different. Teacup pigs can become enamored with small to medium size balls and can spend hours innocently playing with them. For times they get a bit more aggressive you can give them old newspapers and magazines which can be a great way for them to get out all of that negative energy without destructing anything that is of any importance to you.
At pamperedpiglets.com we raise well behaved teacup pigs, but it is common for there to be a bit of an adjustment period when their environment changes. Teacup pigs are very resilient, intelligent, and have the ability to adapt in all different kinds of environments. You will be pleasantly surprised at the lack of time it takes for them to get up to speed. We encourage all Vermont residents to check out our teacup pigs and please keep in mind we safely deliver to the great state of Vermont as well.

My friend Marie and I decided to knit the same sweater together, to help each other through it.
We knit this model from Phildar magasine (see here)
The pattern calls for 4 stands of light-worsted yarn knit together on 9mm (US 13) needles, but we decided to go the cheap way and bought some chunky Lion's Brand yarn.
It was super fast to knit, and not overly complicated: It's one piece with increases/decreases at the shoulder for the sleeve. The collar is knit seperately at the end by picking-up the stitches at the neckline. That part was the trickiest one for me as I'd never picked up stitches before but in the end it turned out fine.
In the end, it's not going to become my favorite sweater, but it's definitely a comfortable one when I stay home on the week-end or even for a walk outside in the winter under a big coat.

Is any person in American history more quoted than Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.? Obviously today - being MLK Day - everyone is posting and sharing and reading and retweeting all the quotes on our social media feeds. But just think about how pervasive Dr. King's words are in modern society. There are MLK quotes affixed on buildings and signs all over our country, in political statements, in email signatures, and in classrooms everywhere...to name a few.
I've read many books, viewed several movies and documentaries, and studied lots of images about and involving Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr..
He was not a perfect man. No one would dispute that. Overall, however, I believe he was one of the bravest men who ever lived. He made mistakes, sure, but he endured unspeakable hardship as a leader of the civil rights movement. He dared to do the hardest things. He withstood the most terrifying physical, emotional, social, and mental threats both to himself as well as his family and friends.
An orator unmatched in all of American history, he was the person God used to say the things that had to be said. He inspired people to stand up for themselves while also adhering to the principles of nonviolence. He inspired people to find a way to do great work in all their endeavors. He inspired people to action, and those collective actions made a difference that impacts all of our children.
Today we remember Dr. King for the courage in his words and his actions, but we also remember that it is his words to which we still cling for making a difference in our world today.
What's your favorite Dr. King quote?

Sorry I did not post these instructions on Monday. I have come down with the flu/cold this week. I hear it is going around everywhere. Not fun! So I found my pictures. Actually my husband put them in a file and didn't tell me. He likes to organize me, and then I can't find anything.
This is the old cupboard door that I started with. Sand it down so that the old stain is gone and you are left with just wood.
|I filled in the handle holes with wood putty. Make sure you find a wood putty that you can stain. Fill the hole and then let it dry. Sand it down flat. I had to repeat this 2 times, because the first time my putty sank in the hole and left an indent.
|I used a stain plus a polyurethane so I didn't have lot of steps. Follow the instructions on the back. I put two coats on my board.
|This is what it looked like after one coat. It was too shiny for me so after all my coats were on and dried, I sanded the edges. I am one that likes the sanded edges look.
The final steps are:
1. Put 2 hangers on the back. I actually used screw in hanger hooks on each side. My door is very heavy so I wanted to make sure the hangers on the back would hold it up.
2, Put the vinyl on.
3. Put the hooks on the front. I picked my hooks up at Walmart. The screws were too long, so I bought some smaller screws at the hardware store. I also pre drilled the holes with a drill bit.

The Sydney Swans have a No Dickheads policy. So do I.
*warning: this post contains a disproportionately high occurrence of the word dickhead. And other cuss words.
The No Dickheads policy was brought in by the Sydney Swans players themselves. The way they see it; it doesn't matter if you're the greatest player in the world, if you're going to behave badly, they don't want you or the negative energy and attention you will bring them.
Since I flew the agency coop and began freelance writing and solo consulting over 10 years ago, I decided that I would only work with and for people I like. I have stuck to that firmly with more than satisfying results.
I came to form my own No Dickheads policy after many years working predominantly in PR agencies for clients who were real arsewipes. Not all. But there was strong dickhead representation in many of them.
I hasten to aside that I am eternally grateful for these years and I am suspicious of anyone who ducks the years of putting in the hard graft, making the coffees, sweeping the floors and taking shit from no-talent, no-trade dilettantes with the gift of the gab and enough charm to land them grotesquely high paying sales and "marketing" jobs.
Paying your dues in the workplace is a necessary pain in the arse. It's like getting dumped by your first love – ultimately rotten and at the time feels like an implosion of the soul, but you learn a hell of a lot about yourself from the experience - the type of person you want to be, your dealbreakers and how not to treat people.
Note: paying your dues does not incorporate enduring sexual harassment or bullying. In my first job out of uni I worked for an investment banker who was always touching me, trying to get me to go away on work trips with him and tasking me with typing up his wife's uni assignments while she played tennis in Wahroonga. I quit that job about a month after starting. He wasn't a dickhead handing out valuable life lessons – he was a shameful, egotistical sleaze. Big difference.
If you're unsure whether who you're dealing with is a dickhead, they're probably not. Dickheads are pretty self-explanatory. Dickheads aren't people who give you constructive criticism or clinical explanations about why your work hasn't hit the mark. They're not even the annoying colleagues who give you no direction, aren't totally sold on what you've produced but can't tell you why ("I'll know it when I see it")
Dickheads are generally inconsistent. You won't be able to get their help or engagement for months and all of a sudden when they're under the pump from their supervisors and clients are right up in your grille. They pick and pick at what you do to the nth degree. But eventually you become the collateral damage after the work is eventually received badly by the powers that be (as you privately predicted because you could see the work had turned into a jumbled mess as a result of The Dickhead's whims, flashes of "brilliance" and disconnected thoughts - but you were either too intimidated or fed up to challenge).
Dickheads will make you go through arduous re-pitching for their work after years serving them only to re-sign with you and recommit to exactly what you had being doing with them previously. You are their tin can to kick through the gutter at will.
So, upon starting my own endeavour - one in which the shot-calling, buck-stopping and direction-taking was down to me, I knew with absolute clarity that I would never work for anyone that made a habit of treating others shabbily.
It's true that on a couple of occasions, it has cost me. My No Dickheads policy has resulted in me passing on the odd project driven by someone I could see was going to be a ball busting nightmare. While the money would be missed, I justified it to myself with the logic…. that it's really not worth it. The money you turn down is inconsequential because you can't put a price on putting up with shit from dickheads. No mark-up is adequate enough (your family will also be happier because they won't have to put up with the fall out).
Having a No Dickheads policy means that you will very rarely find a work day devoid of joy because you consistently find yourself collaborating with lovely, clever, deservedly successful professionals.

One question from the lips of a boss I had for only a very short time has stayed with me for about 17 years and I often think of it when I see both the upstanding and the shameful sides of people in power.
He was my boss when I worked at Guinness Ireland Group in Dublin - he was pretty high up the Guinness ladder and had been called in to help the business get through a time of momentous transition. At the time the company was about to morph into the international Diageo troop, so quite a few highly strung international representatives had converged on St James Gate for what were probably tense and slightly awkward planning and implementation meetings. Caught up in the intense atmosphere, one of the visiting execs had gotten unnecessarily barky and bitchy with me over something that was so important I can't recall it. Yet despite me being a lowly Aussie backpacker and him being under pressure to work cooperatively with the new establishment, my lovely, normally quietly-spoken and unassuming boss took the snarky blow-in to task over my treatment. It surprised me but I will never forget that moment when afterwards he shrugged his shoulders and asked so simply, "Why can't people just be nice?"

Now it is important to understand that almost all the symbols and signs of the elite are very ancient in origin. Former Scottish Rite Freemasonry Sovereign Grand Commander Henry C. Clausen, 33°, who was appointed in 1942 by President Roosevelt to head up the Commission to Investigate the Pearl Harbor Attack, writes that the footsteps of The Order go deep, and its symbols are thousands of years old.
"They arose in ancient ages," Clausen states, "The signs, symbols, and inscriptions come to us from across long, drifting centuries and will be found in ancient Sumerian clay tablet libraries of the cities of Lir, Lagash, and others of the first true urban civilization. This, occurred about 600 years before Egypt was civilized..."17
In other words, Clausen is telling his Masonic readers that their signs and symbols came from Babylon. The Bible warns that the Ancient Mystery Religion of wicked Babylon will bounce back into demonic prevalence in the last days (see Revelation 13, 17, and 18), and here we have the Sovereign Grand Commander, the international chieftain of the Masonic Lodge, informing us of the Babylonian origins of the secret symbols and signs of his Illuminist Order.
When we realize that, for the elite, their symbols are claimed to be infused with dynamic life—to be real things, active images that make and testify and create, we begin to comprehend the powerful and explosive meaning with which the Illuminati endow their signs and symbols.
To them, these are not just geometric shapes, architectural patterns, lines, and circles. Their signs and symbols both live and possess creative power. They are archetypes and thought-forms. In sum, they are real things that perform. One is reminded, therefore, of the "image of the beast" which, in the last days, is prophesied to both move about and to speak.
Pity the Poor, Hoodwinked Mason It's bad enough that the elite hide their dirty little (and big) secrets behind such smoke screens as secret hand signs, codes, etc. But what is remarkably obscene is that they hoodwink their own people.
The highest levels of the Freemasons, for example, have a special word for the manner in which they seek to deceive and mislead not only the "profane" (you and me!) but the vast majority of fellow Masons. That word is hoodwink. It is defined as the effort put forth by the lying men at the top echelons to keep lower-level members in darkness.
In the Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, editor Dr. Albert Mackey, 33°, a former Sovereign Grand Commander, claims that secrecy, silence, and deceit—in other words, hoodwink, is an absolute necessity so that, "the mysteries of our art should be preserved."18
Helena Blavatsky, co-Mason and founder of Theosophy, was unusually candid when she once remarked,
"What is one to do, when in order to rule men, it is necessary to deceive them?... For almost invariably the more simple, the more silly, and the more gross the phenomenon, the more likely it is to succeed."19
Listen to the admission of Albert Pike, former Sovereign Grand Commander who Masonic historian Manley P. Hall, 33°, magnificently praised as a "Masonic Prometheus...a king among men by the divine right of merit:"
Masonry, like all the Religions, all the Mysteries, Hermeticism, and Alchemy, conceals its secrets from all except the Adepts and Sages, or the Elect, and uses false explanations and misinterpretations of its symbols to mislead those who deserve only to be misled; to conceal the Truth, which it calls Light, from them, and to draw them away from it. 20
What impudence! What arrogance! Pike is letting us in on the deceit. Even if a man is a Mason, he may not be adjudged worthy of being promoted as one of the "Adepts and Sages, or the Elect." In that case, along with non-Masons, he is purposely misled by "false explanations and misinterpretations."

My kind of beach read is short, intense and sufficiently morally complex that it sustains me through a good swim and compels me to keep reading when I'm out of the water.
Fans of "The Lifeboat" tried to persuade me to read it with pitches such as "It's like 'Titanic' meets 'Lord of the Flies.'" Over my eye-rolling, they pressed, and I succumbed. And fell hard.
It can be read as a tale of survival, narrated by a young American woman, in an over-capacity lifeboat and in the courtroom. But it's also another kind of story — of a woman who creates herself to marry privilege, and lives a life of self-deception.
"The Lifeboat" is also a suspenseful page-turner and a beautifully written novel to read before summer's end.

Bloomberg Law's® Bankruptcy Law News publishes case summaries of the most recent important bankruptcy law decisions, tracks major commercial bankruptcies, and reports on developments in bankruptcy...
Aug. 10 — Trying to rehash the same baseless arguments cost a lawyer over $1,000 in sanctions in a New York bankruptcy court.
Judge Nicholas G. Garaufis agreed that the lawyer's reason for filing the "frivolous" motion was "wholly without merit," and so the sanctions imposed were appropriate. The court also rejected the argument that the debtor lacked "representation" at a hearing, in violation of Second Circuit law, when his lawyer was unexpectedly able to attend.
Small business debtor L&M New York Inc. fell behind on its rent and was facing a $60,000 judgment and an imminent eviction. L&M filed for bankruptcy on the same day it was scheduled to be evicted. Filing for bankruptcy imposes an automatic stay, meaning it halts all actions against a debtor, including eviction.
The creditor moved to have the stay lifted so that the eviction could proceed. A hearing was scheduled on the creditor's motion for relief from the stay, which the debtor failed to oppose.
On the day of the hearing, the debtor's attorney, Franklyn Rouse, sought an adjournment in order to postpone the hearing. Rouse wasn't actually present at the hearing, but the debtor's owner did appear.
The bankruptcy court explained it couldn't adjourn the hearing because that would just result in the stay being lifted anyway. Under Section 362(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, if a creditor moves to lift the stay, then the stay is automatically lifted after 30 days unless the court orders otherwise. Under Section 362(e)(1), an extension can only be granted if there is a "reasonable likelihood that the party opposing relief from such stay will prevail at the conclusion of such final hearing."
Therefore, the court denied the adjournment and granted the motion for relief from the stay, finding that the debtor hadn't opposed lifting the stay and wasn't likely to prevail regardless. The debtor's owner, on her own initiative and without the attorney present, asked the court to extend the stay for two weeks, but the court refused.
Rouse filed a motion asking the court to rehear all the issues in the case. The creditor argued that the rehearing motion was frivolous and that sanctions should be imposed on Rouse.
Rouse eventually withdrew the motion to rehear, but the court still imposed the sanctions. Rouse appealed, arguing, among other things, that the adjournment should have been granted, that the debtor had lacked representation at the hearing in violation of the law, and that the motion he filed wasn't frivolous.
The district court disagreed with Rouse on all points. Under the Judges Procedures for the bankruptcy court, Rouse was required to ask for the adjournment at least two business days before the hearing and to seek the consent of the parties. He did neither, so the district court agreed that the denial of the adjournment was appropriate.
The court also agreed that granting the adjournment would have resulted in the automatic termination of the stay because 30 days had elapsed.
Rouse correctly argued that corporations cannot proceed before a court pro se because, as the Second Circuit held in Jones v. Niagara Frontier Transp. Auth., 722 F.2d 20 (2d Cir. 1983), a corporation "is an artificial entity that can only act through agents." The Fifth Circuit has similarly held in Sw. Express Co. v. Interstate Commerce Commission, 670 F.2d 53 (5th Cir. 1982) that a corporation "cannot appear in proper person as a corporation or through its corporate officer," according to research conducted by Bloomberg BNA.
However, the court said that even though Rouse wasn't present at the hearing, he was in fact "represent[ing]" the debtor, even though he didn't appear at that particular hearing and "could not advise the court of his prior engagement until the morning of the hearing."
"That [the debtor's owner] elected to address the court in her attorney's last-minute and unexplained absence does not mean that the court lacked the authority to lift the stay based on the record before it, or that the court was required to entertain a motion for rehearing," the court said. "Indeed, the court would have been within its authority to proceed with the hearing and decide the motion even in the absence [the debtor's owner] (and in fact lifted the stay before [the debtor's owner] opted to address the court)."
Finally, the court said that Rule 9011(c) of the Bankruptcy Code authorizes a bankruptcy court to issue sanctions for frivolous motions. The court found that the arguments Rouse relied on in his motion for a rehearing, the same arguments he made on appeal to the district court, were "wholly without merit," which supported to conclusion that the motion was frivolous and that sanctions were appropriate.
Rouse represented himself in the appeal.

Teacher had some rocket shaped balloons.
We found a cool way of flying balloon rockets in a straight line.
We used some string which we passed through a drinking straw as a line for the rocket to follow.
We taped the balloon to the straw, then.......10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 BLAST OFF!
Here's what happened:

Vanderbilt University isn't exactly Alabama or Ohio State but quietly over the last few years the small private school in the SEC has been wreaking havoc in the conference that has been the breeding ground for BCS Champions in recent years.
With solid wins over Florida, Georgia, Auburn, Ole Miss, and Tennessee the past two seasons Vanderbilt has become a force in the Southeastern Conference. They have also put a lot of solid guys in the NFL. Jay Culter is the quarterback of the Bears. Zac Stacy almost rushed for a thousand yards in St. Louis last year. Casey Heyward of the Packers is one of the best corners in the league. Now Mike Munchak is going to try to mold fifth round pick and former Commodore Wesley Johnson into a starting NFL offensive lineman.
Munchak is no stranger to Johnson. As the head coach of the Tennessee Titans the last few years he was aware of the Commodores were doing just down the street in Nashville. Now as Pittsburgh's new offensive line coach he has a talented 6'5 297 pound prospect that played left and right tackle, right guard and was First-Team All-SEC.
Johnson left Vanderbilt as part of the most successful class in school history and started more games that any other Commodore. He became an online sensation last September when a Vanderbilt video blog went viral after a win against UMass. Vandy was struggling against the Minutemen on the road and Johnson wasn't too happy with the play of his teammates at halftime. To make his point the team captain threw a chair across the locker room, bashed his helmet into a locker and demanded his teammates pick it up in the second half. Vanderbilt won 24-7.
It's highly unlikely Johnson will start in 2014. But given his past I doubt a single Pittsburgh Steeler fan will be disappointed with what they have with their late fifth round pick.
In two years at left tackle Johnson only gave up two sacks in the SEC. And most importantly he held his own in three meetings with #1 pick Jadeveon Clowney. The sky is the limit for Johnson and under Munchak he could flourish. And if injuries start to creep into the locker room it's nice to know there is a guy on the bench who can play every position on the offensive line.

For over twenty-five years, Skyline has been committed to developing cutting edge products for the face-to-face marketing industry. Our unwavering commitment to creating unique products has inspired a continuous stream of industry "firsts" resulting in our current position in the marketplace as the leading edge developers. Skyline Exhibitor Source is proud to be part of an innovative organization focused on the complete success of our customers
Here's a short history of Skyline's successes, illustrated by some of our most innovative products and company milestones:
Perhaps the most memorable quality of Skyline's first exhibit, the "Shotel," was that it fit inside our founder's K-Car trunk. It was praised for its simplicity, reasonable price, and being one of the industry's first curved exhibits.
In 1984 the Reflex was first introduced. The goal of the Reflex was to design a display that was as easy to put up and take down as a lawn chair. The name reflected the fact that the customer didn't even have to think about how to assemble it.
In 1984 the Mirage revolutionized the industry with its strong yet flexible fiberglass frame which makes it virtually indestructible. Its seamless design and round end panels set the standard for pop-up displays that continues to this day.
1987 & 1988 — Named Inc. 500 Inc.
Inc. Magazine twice honored Skyline in its annual list of the fastest-growing private companies.
1990 — Skyland
Skyline employees from across the nation and around the world came together for four days to build a playground in Burnsville, Minnesota. Skyland stands as a tribute to our staff's dedication to making a difference in their community.
1992 — First to go digital-direct
Skyline was one to invest in digital direct graphics for trade show graphics production. Today almost 100 percent of our graphics arrive as a digital file.
1993 — ISO 9001 Registration
Skyline was the first trade show exhibit manufacturer to receive ISO 9001 Registration. The honor certifies that Skyline has established control processes that meet international standards of manufacturing quality.
1998 — SkyTruss
Skyline revolutionized the large exhibit arena with SkyTruss. Like our other innovations, SkyTruss is lightweight, easy to set up and transport, and reconfigurable. SkyTruss also collapses flat for easy storage and shipment, yet is strong enough to construct almost any design imaginable.
1999 — New Skyline International Design Center
Skyline's new facility in St. Paul, Minnesota, brings together exhibit design, engineering, manufacturing, graphic production, exhibit construction, and asset management under one roof.

Taxi drivers at the Naggo Head taxi stand in St Catherine say that passengers have been travelling timidly because of a WhatsApp message that has been making the rounds.
In the message, a woman warns passenger to be wary of taxi kidnapping passengers, robbing them and raping them in the vicinity.
A taxi driver, who runs the Naggo Head to Hellshire route, said that passengers have been wary to use taxi service at the mentioned stand.
"I hear a lot of my passengers in the car saying dat dem fraid to tek the taxi dem. Even though a nuh this route," the driver said.
The message said that passengers should beware of a particular car at the taxi stand. It said that the taxi mainly take victims to Dunbeholden, where the driver carries out his act.
An officer at the Greater Portmore Police Station told THE STAR that there are no official reports about the incidents that were detailed in the social media messages.
"I have seen the message on WhatsApp and Facebook, but we haven't got an official report that anyone has been kidnapped," the lawman attached to the station's CIB unit said.
"I don't know if someone is just creating things, but there no official reports," the cop said.

MP3: Llama Farmers / Always Echoes (1998)
Although their music is obviously not that innovative and the lyrics are generally pretty uncomplex, I think in this case those things work in its favour. There's just something so great about this that is hard to describe, but I think part of it for me is the way it personifies the feeling of those years between leaving school and having to start uni (i.e. finding new friends, starting to think about jobs and other serious adult business).
The Llamas seem to sum up the Lamacq band pretty damn well. Great debut single on Fierce Panda, a little radio play and some support slots (I saw them with Cay), followed by a slightly patchy debut album on Beggars and a headline tour of English toilets. By the time of the second album press interest had generally dried up and you never heard of them again.
Singles following this were the rather classy Big Wheels, Yellow and Get The Keys & Go, all of which were from the debut Dead Letter Chorus, released late in 1998. The second album, El Toppo, was released in 2000 and is actually pretty damn good, the songwriting had clearly developed and its worth a listen if you can find it. I heard that the band actually split to go to Uni, so I guess that just adds even more to the whole poignant nostalgic teenage summer pop record thing I was talking about before. For more info see this biography, or the very out of date official English or American websites. Hope you like it.

I'm inspissated. How about you?
Too hot to move. Too hot to cook. Too hot to exercise (except water aerobics). Too hot to sleep.
Just how hot is it?
Hotter than it's ever been — relatively speaking.
"July 2016 was absolutely the hottest month since the instrumental records began," the Baltimore Sun reminds me, sourcing NASA.
July 2002 felt plenty miserable to then Bay Weekly contributor April Falcon Doss. Heat, she reminded us, is relative — and so is our experience of it.
With this August leading in the same direction, it's too hot to write.
Return with me, then, to those sweltering words of yesteryear:
"Thermodynamics textbooks neatly evade defining temperature," smugly reported the writer's husband, her foil in the story. "Instead of telling what temperature is, they define temperature in relative terms, or whether one material is hotter or colder than another. Really, it's not that hot out. It's just the differential you feel."
To which she irritably replied, "Objection: relevance." I find myself appallingly intolerant in extreme heat. We step under some trees. "Oh," I gasp with relief. "It's so much cooler in the shade." "Not really," my husband badgers. "The air temperature is actually the same in the shade or out. It's just that here in the shade you're shielded from the force and effect of solar radiation."
These distinctions are absurd, at least as applied to my experience of being hot. I defy anyone to diminish my experience of heat.
Thermal Death Point
The amount of heat capable of destroying a given species of bacteria in a given time. Three factors are involved — namely, the time, material and temperature.
Sounds like the risk faced by my husband if he tells me once more that these fiery temperatures are merely relative. My encyclopedia defines heat as energy that is transferred from one body to another because they are at different temperatures. Energy transferal? Then how to explain this lassitude I feel, this utter enervation? How to explain the way that beads of sweat quiver on my lip, my chest, my brow on those long summer days?
According to my source book, "The effect of this transfer of energy usually, but not always, is an increase in the temperature of the colder body and a decrease in the temperature of the hotter body."
No kidding. How else to respond to the observation that 100-degree afternoons heighten my own thermal setting?
The only way to absorb energy without getting hotter is to change form: by melting or boiling or by changing from a solid into a vapor through the process called sublimation.
Fat splitting.
People are known — even hereabouts where opportunities to sweat come plentiful and cheap — to pay considerable money for the opportunity to sit in a steam room, breathing sharp, wet heat while stinging beads of sweat burst through their pores and glisten in a lake on their skin. This is homage to lypolysis, to the presumed fat-splitting properties of steam. Here in Maryland, it comes free.
Doss found a word for it: Inspissation: the distillation of our own tissues and being in heat.
That's what to call it when you're too darned hot.
I'm inspissated. How about you?

Welcome back to the CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge this week, check out this great sketch by Donna Mikasa...
Sticking with my plan to use whatever is on my work table, I found a bottle of green paint, sentiment stamp and some cardstock. I used and empty packaging to make the large circle by dipping it in the paint and using it like a stamp. To make the two smaller circles I dipped the bottom and top of the paint bottle and stamped them. The random texture marks made it there accidentally when my kitty decided to come give my card some lovin'. A little bit of cardstock and some scraping got rid of the fur problem :)
We would love to have you play along this week over at CAS(E) this Sketch!
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Big, BIG thanks to Jure Klepic for bringing up Tickr as an example of effective data visualization in social monitoring on HuffPo's Tech blog this week. It's always nice to hear that we're on the right track. (You should see how big our grins are right now.)
Here's a taste of his piece, titled Today's Visualization Tools Help our Brains Understand Social Monitoring:
My last post, "Taking Multi-Dimensional Marketing to the Next Level," touched on the amazing capacity of the human brain for learning. Through the process of plasticity, we can interpret more complex messages and make decisions faster than we ever believed was possible. With the amount of input coming at us from all ends of the social universe, tools are being developed that can help our brains quickly sort through this information. Tickr is a visual monitoring tool that helps process information and makes it easy to understand. Similar to a stock ticker that provides information needed to make investment decisions, Tickr provides social media information needed to make marketing decisions.
In its teacher's guide on the brain, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) states that plasticity relates to the brain's ability to change and reorganize in response to some input. Our brains can form new synapses or strengthen old ones if nurtured and engaged, but can also lose brain functioning if not exercised and challenged regularly. Plasticity is the ability of our brains to change with learning. Social media, when used properly, can keep our brains engaged so we continue to grow and develop. The story changes somewhat, however, for those who are trying to monitor social media for the purpose of brand marketing. Currently these companies and agencies have a number of platforms which are constantly providing information and updates. While their brains are learning to sort through this information avalanche, Tickr points out the crucial bits of information they need to make decisions relating to their product, service or brand.
Companies engaged in brand marketing use Tickr to filter social media mentions in real time and display results in sync with their performance metrics. Case studies show that PepsiCo Gatorade uses Tickr to identify key online influences while Global Financial Services uses it to see the impact of real-word news. Banks of computer screens may have information from other platforms, but often the one displaying the Tickr information is the one that receives attention first.
