The Importance of Defining Your Nonprofit's Organizational Culture
You may often associate terms like "company culture" with millennial heavy start-up companies. However, organizational culture is an integral part of forming a strong team that reaches far beyond pizza parties and bonding exercises. A nonprofit's culture will effect how your team works internally, as well as how you interact with donors, supporters and volunteers.
How to Define a Culture
A positive company culture is not something that happens by accident. It's an intentional feeling that is created from the top down. Activities such as bonding exercises and quarterly outings look good on paper, but it's even more important to use strategies you can implement day-to-day. Here are a few examples:
Be as transparent with your employees as possible, including them in important discussions will make them feel even more invested in the cause
Encourage casual team activities such as eating lunch together or grabbing a drink after work, this will help foster team bonding outside of work related activities
Lead by example, if your employees see you going the extra mile, they'll do the same
Encourage open communication, make sure your team always feels comfortable enough to ask questions and state their opinions
Show interest in your employee's lives outside of work, something as simple as chatting about your weekends demonstrates that you care about them as people, not just as employees
One of the cool things about nonprofits is that your team reaches far beyond your staff members. Implement these strategies with donors and volunteers as well.
Why is organizational culture important?
It's obvious that you want happy and dedicated employees working for your nonprofit, but here are a few more reasons why defining a positive organizational culture is so important.
Word of Mouth:
Word of mouth is huge in the nonprofit world. There are so many worthy causes a person can choose to support, so you want to make sure the great things about your nonprofit are spread through the grape vine. Good word of mouth can positively impact everything including hiring, finding volunteers, and acquiring new donors. A team who loves what they do will spread the word!
Integrating New Members:
This culture you've spent time cultivating will make it significantly easier to welcome and train new members of the team. You'll be even stronger at hiring the right personality, and your staff will be able to seamlessly lead by example to help the new team member integrate.
Creating a Committed Team:
Each team member was likely first drawn to your organization because of the connection they feel to your nonprofit's mission. Although this never changes, it is still important that they feel equally connected to the people on your nonprofit's team. A strong organizational culture will keep your employees around longer due to the combined bond they feel to the cause, and the people.
Living Your Nonprofit's Mission Statement:
Every nonprofit has a mission statement and the intention to live by these words as they carry out the work they do every day. The organizational culture you create will keep your nonprofit's mission statement top of mind for all your employees. This will allow you to feel confident that your whole team is on the same page while working towards fulfilling your nonprofit's mission.

Our capital is surround by areas of beauty, from the very bottom of Namadgi National Park which covers almost 50% of the Australian Capital Territory to the very top of Mount Majura nature reserve. These are the areas that we need to look after and have constant plans for future improvement, without keeping these areas protected and looked after then we are losing huge amounts of biodiversity. Every little bit helps and with my work experience I choose to participate in restoring and conserving Mount Majura nature reserve.
With my volunteering I choose to help out "Friends of Mount Majura". They are a small group of volunteers which meet every Friday for various conservation activities (which include weeding, planting, frilling and more).
We met up on a dewy Friday morning opposite of the The Fair in Watson, one Day One we set out to complete a few jobs, namely to use GPS to locate the rubbish that Waltraud (main volunteer) had located on a previous run. Rubbish, especially dangerous rubbish like the barbed wire pictured below is harmful to all species around the area, native or not, and needs to be removed to keep the area pristine.
The next job was to remove last years trees which did not survive and to re-dig holes and re-mulch with new plants which will hopefully survive the winter this year. (Mostly Acai and bit of Yellow Box).
Day Two included just me and Waltraud coming back to the reserve on a Monday morning, again the same dewy fog filled mystic field laid ahead of us but this time with a small surprise.
We then walked further into the reserve to tackle our main problem of the day, the Woody weeds. These weeds are introduced species from post-european settlement which inhibit the native species from seeding, remove these will give the native species to grow and seedy naturally without the competition for soil against the weeds.
As we dulled deeper into the reserve we could see that across the gully there were many less invasive species, although some including the Hawthorne and Primose weeds, still required removing we could see that the nature reserve was indeed recovering well. With previous years work across the gully showing vast improvement in restoring of the reserve. Although there is still a fair way to go, the nature reserve is indeed large and the Friends of Mount Majura definitely need few more working hands before restoring it to anywhere near the pre-european settlement.
This was definitely a rewarding and refreshing experience. Being able to go out to the reserve and make a short but noticeable difference was definitely rewarding. I urge everyone to visit and help out, events are every Friday at The Fair, Watson.

Preparing For an Initial Meeting With Your Divorce Attorney in Mequon WI
Every year thousands of married couples choose to end their unions. The causes of divorces include infidelity, money problems, dealing with medical problems, and problems that can arise from a blended family. Many people choose to try to save their marriage by seeking counsel from a cleric, licensed therapist, or even a family or friend. However, some marriages are beyond repair and need to be dissolved for the welfare of everyone involved. When this happens, a reputable Divorce attorney Mequon WI can help you through the whole process. He can inform you of your legal rights and help you make good decisions for yourself and any children you have. You can wisely select a lawyer by getting recommendations from family and friends. After you have done this, there are some steps you can take to make the most of your initial visit with your Divorce attorney in Mequon WI.
It's important to bring certain documents to your first visit so your attorney can get a better idea of your financial situation. Bring your personal tax returns for the past three years. Whether you filed jointly or single, it's necessary for a lawyer to study this. If you have a family-owned business, bring the last three years of business tax returns. Also, it's a good idea to bring a copy of any checking or savings account statements you or your spouse have. Make a copy of your most recent mortgage statement and any line of credit statements you have. Even if the lines of credit or accounts are in your husband's name only, bring this information with you. Organize these statements before the meeting so you won't have to spend time shuffling through your papers.
It's also a good idea to make a factual, written statement that you sign that includes such information as the full names of you, your children, and your spouse; all contact addresses; and the date of your marriage and separation. Also, if either you or any of your children have medical issues, bring proof of monthly medical bills and needed medication.
Don't worry if you don't have all the information. You will have subsequent visits with your attorney. It's important to remember to start the process as smoothly as possible. This is beneficial since a divorce can turn into a lengthy and difficult process.

Recently a forestry Wood Chipper Lippel PFL 400x700 MC was acquired for a new investment in the city of Arvorezinha - RS.
The company purchases wood from reforestation and makes use of it, together with own production, to produce high quality wood chips.
The objective of this investment is to offer a superior product in economy and quality to the big industries over the common firewood, offering a greater calorific value and reducing the need to maintain large stocks.
This investment will generate revenue within the municipality, since the entire process of buying and selling the wood is being made with reforestation wood and according to all legal and environmental processes.

There are no roads in the Great Bear Rainforest – instead all travel is by water. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. calls the area "the last stand of the great North American rainforest." Explore British Columbia's Great Bear Rainforest by luxurious yacht with just a few guests, guided by the expert local crew, naturalists and guides of Maple Leaf Adventures.
This trip includes moderate walking, bear viewing (from zodiacs, on land and in some cases at a bear viewing stand), zodiac rides, other wildlife viewing (whales, marine mammals), natural history, culture, sailing, village visits, hot-springs (often), kayaking and even fishing!
Great Bear Rainforest – Fjords that Harbour Wildlife!
At the Pacific ocean's eastern edge, the sea breaks against BC's western islands and sandy beaches. Then it snakes down glacier-hewn valleys at the foot of the mountains: these are the Great Bear Rainforest's fjords. Some call it "Yosemite by the sea". On SV Maple Leaf and MV Swell you'll travel close to the fjords' granite walls, where waterfalls drop hundreds of feet to the ocean. Whales and dolphins may surface and feed beside us while we travel!
Walk in the Great Bear's Ancient Rainforest
The ancient rainforest of spruce and cedar trees clings to some mountainsides and pushes out of the fertile river valleys. You'll walk here with the naturalist and see why people have described these forests of ethereal green light as "living cathedrals". In the eighteenth century the European explorers had another word: sublime.
Where the rivers and forests meet the sea, the Great Bear's fecund estuaries form. These meadows and brackish waters are of prime importance to the area's wildlife, from bears and wolves to eagles, ravens and ducks, providing food in spring and fall and transitioning fish and nutrients between forest and sea.
Spirit Bears, Grizzly Bears, and other wildlife viewing
The rich river estuaries in the spring and the prolific salmon runs in the autumn support B.C.'s largest remaining populations of the mighty grizzly bear. The area is home to an equally large population of black bears and is the habitat of the rare, white Spirit bear (or kermode bear).
With Maple Leaf, you'll float in a shore boat or sit in a safe place on land to watch these great mammals fish, rear cubs, munch on sedge or turn over rocks for crabs and other marine snacks.
You'll also learn the "behind the scenes" information about how the estuaries work and support the life of the Great Bear Rainforest.
In the Autumn, spawning channels of the rivers are covered with salmon. This spectacle creates a feeding frenzy as bears and other mammals feast on the bounty. We may hear, and, if we're lucky, see the elusive coastal wolf, which researchers recently confirmed catches salmon, too.
Eagles by the hundreds, ravens, harlequin ducks and a host of other birds join the fray. To witness these phenomena are two of the greatest experiences in nature.
The People of the Great Bear Rainforest
Explore the worlds of several northwest First Nations: the Heiltsuk, Kitasoo Xai'xais, Haisla, Gitga'at and Henaaksiala. Everywhere is evidence of their civilization. Fish traps, bark-stripped trees and longhouse remains give testimony to a way of life tuned to the rhythm of nature. You'll visit modern villages, talk with local residents, and see the ancient art traditions still in place today.
Remote Pleasures – Hot Springs & Wild Food
The Great Bear Rainforest's ocean frequently provides succulent Dungeness crab and prawns for our table. We often visit one of the natural, out-of-the-way hot springs that bubble up here. Anchoring in a cove or bay, you'll go ashore by zodiac or kayak and sink into the rejuvenating warm water. A far cry from commercial hot springs, these pools are usually empty but for ourselves.
Wilderness with a Complex Future
A ten-year land use plan recently announced by the B.C. government, with stakeholders from conservation groups, First Nations, tourism, local communities, resource extraction industries, scientists and others, protects 2 million hectares of this wilderness.
Sadly, much of the rest of the area is immediately threatened by massive clear-cut logging. We feel it is critical that as many people as possible see this place and become aware of the magnitude of the potential loss of so much critical habitat and immeasurable beauty.
We have selected our favourite season in the Great Bear Rainforest – where the fall salmon run brings grizzly, spirit and black bears to the coast, as well as sea lions, killer whales, seals, eagles and wolves. In the springtime, the meadows burst with new plant life, and newly-awakened grizzly bears graze on tender new shoots. This is also a beautiful time to visit and there are 7 day/6 night trips available in May. Please ask us for those details if you are interested in spring departures.
SV Maple Leaf Accommodation: The spacious main cabin on this 92-foot sailing schooner is airy and divided by half-walls and heavy curtains into four "cabins," providing sleeping accommodations for eight guests.

As the community starts to consider proposals for a "learning campus based around a university" (WhistlerU) the proponent is focusing heavily on the partnerships being developed and estimated benefits on the local economy.
However, relatively little has been mentioned about the controversial site being suggested for the campus, AWARE would like to redress that balance. To be clear, AWARE is not against a university, should the community decide this is appropriate for Whistler, we simply believe the site proposed for WhistlerU is of huge environmental importance to Whistler and should remain undeveloped.
In Whistler, over 70 per cent of our original wetlands have been lost to development or draining. The Millar Creek and Alpha Creek wetlands (found south of Creekside and in an area often referred to locally as the Zen Lands) represent the largest remaining wetland within Whistler's developed boundaries. As with all environmental systems, these areas cannot be considered in isolation, and wetlands in particular, are extremely sensitive to changes in the areas that surround them or have impacts upon them.
Since the early '90s various development proposals have been brought to successive councils, to up-zone the upland areas adjacent to the Millar Creek and Alpha Creek Wetlands. Throughout this time AWARE's stance has been that the site should be protected, and it is perhaps indicative that consecutive councils have refused large-scale developments on the site. The landowners have been granted zoning for four single-family homes, and while AWARE believes development on the site should be entirely avoided, we understand the challenges in downzoning lands.
While the learning campus proposals include design techniques and new technologies to reduce the development's environmental impacts, it is still clear that four single-family homes would have far less impact than sufficient one-bedroom/studio accommodations to house up to 1,500 students. Additional to the substantial accommodations, the site would also be supporting lecture facilities, cafeterias, study areas and parking. In fact, during a recent presentation to council it was revealed that the development proposed for this upland area is nearly a million square feet, which equates in size to the original Whistler Village proposals.
This scale of development would have unavoidable impacts on the wetlands areas, such as increased human access to the wetlands and a complete change in the nutrient (or pollutant) run-off entering the ecosystem, as well as impacts on flora, fauna and wildlife using the area.

Emmy & Oliver
by Robin Benway
Original Publication Date: June 23, 2015
Length: 352 pages
Publisher: Harperteen
Obtained Via: I received an advanced reader's copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This in no way affected my final opinion of the work.
View at the Traffic light:
Emmy's best friend, Oliver, reappears after being kidnapped by his father ten years ago. Emmy hopes to pick up their relationship right where it left off. Are they destined to be together? Or has fate irreparably driven them apart?
Emmy just wants to be in charge of her own life.
She wants to stay out late, surf her favorite beach—go anywhere without her parents' relentless worrying. But Emmy's parents can't seem to let her grow up—not since the day Oliver disappeared.
Oliver needs a moment to figure out his heart.
He'd thought, all these years, that his dad was the good guy. He never knew that it was his father who kidnapped him and kept him on the run. Discovering it, and finding himself returned to his old hometown, all at once, has his heart racing and his thoughts swirling.
Emmy and Oliver were going to be best friends forever, or maybe even more, before their futures were ripped apart. In Emmy's soul, despite the space and time between them, their connection has never been severed. But is their story still written in the stars? Or are their hearts like the pieces of two different puzzles—impossible to fit together?
I've enjoyed every Robin Benway novel I've read, and Emmy & Oliver was no exception. In fact, dare I say that it might even be my favorite Robin Benway novel? Because I think it is. Emmy and Oliver were best friends when Oliver's dad kidnapped him. Now, several years later, Oliver is back and he and Emmy have to figure out their new relationship as long with their own difficulties–Oliver's having trouble adjusting to the fact that he's back and that his dad did indeed kidnap him all those years ago, and Emmy's dealing with over-protective parents who don't want her to surf or go off to college.
Robin Benway just has this way of writing that gets what it means to be a teenager that I think so many authors miss. It's not that all her characters are the same–they aren't–but she perfectly nails the happy moments, the confusion, the angst, and the sad moments. There's this immediacy to all her characters where they're just so vividly written that you feel they're in the next room and you could easily just waltz in and talk to them. I loved reading about Emmy and her friends. They all had such great stories and had wonderful humorous moments. It reminded me a lot of my friend group in high school and the way that there's often a certain. . . hmm, style of conversation? It's not necessarily inside jokes, but the way when you get really close to some people as a group you sort of subconsciously come up with your a personal way of interacting with each other.
I also adored the burgeoning romance between Emmy and Oliver. There's a lot the two characters have to unpack in their relationship because of Oliver's history, but it's never needlessly dramatic. It feels so natural, like OF COURSE these two characters will get together. Their(adorable) relationship is written in a way where you couldn't conceive of anything else for these two.
Emmy & Oliver is a novel about interpersonal relationships more than anything else. There's a lot put in the romance, but also the friendship and the child-parent dynamics. The novel is narrated by Emmy, but even so when reading you get a LOT of insight into Oliver's emotions. It's heartbreaking and also heartwarming at times. Benway portrays a very complex situation with ease, as well as Emmy's relationship with her over-protective parents. It's clear that Emmy does love her parents–and they clearly love her–but they're often not on the same wavelength. I think that type of dynamic will strike a chord with many readers, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much page time it got in the book.
This is definitely a new favorite Benway! It's a little more serious than any of her other novels, but it still has fluffy and fun moments, and often really humorous ones. 4/5 cupcakes.

The Los Angeles Chargers will become road warriors in 2018. As per the information and stats of ESPN, the Chargers must travel round trips of 30,797 miles in this season, including a game in London in 7th Week against the Titans Tennessee.
The Oakland Raiders travel more miles (31,716) than the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers are famous for the 9th easy strength of the schedule in NFL to initiate the typical season at .480. Anthony Lynn was the coach of the second season of Los Angeles Chargers, and they could have the advantage of endurance in the transition year for the remaining AFC West.
Lynn said that they are missing out the sour taste of tiebreaker playoff so this current schedule is nice that can help them to lock in their positions for 2018. You may have this information for months, but at the time of focus, the things will become clear. The current schedule has a work cut for them. He is excited about his team and knows that they are ready for this challenge.
Prediction: First in AFC West
Self-proclaimed fight of Chargers for LA can be a cause of loss, at least for some time because Rams are famous in Los Angeles. They were the highlights of the last season while Chargers are not. However, their hopes are legitimate for Bolts after several missed playoffs.
The high expectations of the Chargers can change the dynamic of the AFC West. For now, Chiefs of defending champions has lost Alex Smith (quarterback) and Marcus Peters (cornerback), and Broncos and the Raiders tumbled to losing records. The Jon Gruden is the X-factor, and he can change the dynamics of Raider for a division title.
The averages law might favor the Chargers, who haven't reached the competitions since 2013. Moreover, they haven't won the division after 2009. A home competition can be a remarkable sight considering that their house is a soccer pitch of 27,000 seats in suburban Carson.
The predictable finally happened. Antonio Gates and Star tight, who is a fixture with the Chargers since a notable breakthrough novice 2003 season, was permitted to become a free agent after the expiry of his contract.
The departure of Gates leaves Philip Rivers, the quarterback as a high-ranking diplomat on this squad. Rivers remains ambitious to earn Super Bowl long-sought title. The small base of the team L.A. fans considers the Chargers may go as long as the tandem Pro Bowl of Rivers and Keenan Allen may take them.

Hedley Bull (1932 - 1985) - The Anarchical Society: A Study of Order in World Politics (1977)
The "Anarchical Society" is one of the masterworks of political science and the classic text on the nature of order in world politics. Originally published in 1977, it continues to define and shape the discipline of international relations. This edition has been updated with a new, interpretive foreword by Andrew Hurrell. Bull explores three fundamental questions: What is order in world politics? How is order maintained in the contemporary states system? What alternative paths to world order are desirable and feasible? Laws and institutions, Bull points out, shift and change over time. The Anarchical Society addresses the unwritten rules which have allowed the international order to exist across the ages.
Here you will find a review from Garret Wilson (1999)

A recent study by the M.R. Štefánik Conservative Institute showed once again that nostalgia for the former regime is still present in Slovak society. Up to 43% of the population (aged 15 and older) think that life was better in Slovakia before 1989 than today.
The opposing perspective – that nowadays life is better – enjoyed the support of about a third of the public while the remaining quarter or so gave more ambivalent answers. These are worrying numbers; however, seventeen years ago, the Institute of Public Affairs asked a similar set of questions, and at that time, the percentage of Slovaks nostalgic for socialism was significantly higher: 61%.
Generally, fewer people are feeling nostalgic
Not surprisingly, the degree of nostalgia tends to increase among the older demographic. Currently, in the age group 65+, seven out of ten inhabitants of Slovakia recall having a better life three decades ago, but comparing this to the Institute of Public Affairs study from around the turn of the millennium it has gone down from 85%. In the case of older people, nostalgia is compounded by memories of optimism when "milk cost two crowns and everybody had a job" (more precisely: s/he was employed), but of course they were younger, healthier and had a full life ahead of them.
For the most part, pro-socialist sentiments are being maintained, which means that among those who were 35-44 years old in the 2001 study – and so were the last to have considerable experience with socialism as adults – the proportion of those nostalgic has not changed. In 2001, it was 63%; today we are in the 55-64 age group and the numbers are almost identical.
Naturally, for those who never had the experience, nostalgia is diminished if not vanishing. Nevertheless, while the younger generation obviously doesn't have an over-abundance of the sentiment, they are not immune – 18% of those aged 18-24 think life was better before the transition to democracy. The question remains whether even this relatively small percentage of young Slovaks hold these views due to a generational transfer of positive narratives ("borrowed memories") or if they are the beginning of a new generation of admirers of authoritarian socialism; though perhaps their attitudes are more a rejection of the current state of affairs which they do not view as advantageous, and from these feelings they see the potential of the previous regimes' policies.
To be succinct: the retreating trend for socialist nostalgia is overall promising, but it is moving at a sluggish tempo.
What is the preference of life for socialism?
The Conservative Institute has further explored that it is above all myths and memorial idealisations about social security and greater solidarity in interpersonal relations which harms socialist resentment.
The first type of these instances is directly linked to a clear preference for a strong nurturing state, which is basically still present today. It also manifests through the increased incidence of left-wing attitudes in economic matters, even among those who claim to be right-wingers and who choose the parties that call themselves "right-wing". This inclination of the Slovak public will last for a long time.
The second type is of a more general nature and concerns the "socialist livelihood" (a concept that anthropologist Juraj Buzalka works with) or the everyday life under socialism. It is a memory of the all-round interpersonal relationships, the feeling of solidarity, and the informal networks through which people were able to compensate for the weakness of the economy. In addition, this normalisation also offered people a sense of social self-confidence when they knew how to go about doing something, where to go or where to turn for help. After the regime change, many supporters of the socialist movement and method felt they were victims and losers of the transformation. Surely, many are right, but many also enjoy the feeling of urgency.
Is there a need to worry?
Socialist nostalgia has no direct political impact. It is rather a platonic emotion. Surely none of the approximately 40% of nostalgists would have chosen a party that would really want to return to the old system.
On the other hand, the political mobilization of this "socialist nostalgia" – the feeling of a "lost paradise" – is a straightforward political approach and is commonly used by populists. Ex-prime minister Robert Fico excelled in this art, and his most striking illustration was his 2012 electoral slogan: "People deserve certainty!"
There is a lot to unpack in those three words. It refers to the expectations of security, and also more importantly, it brings out a merited entitlement. More broadly, it generally is addressing "the people", in other words, "decent people" and meaning – "people like you".
Fixing a part of the public to a strong caretaker state has the political support of the voters who are their grateful "users". (With nostalgia, the Smer-SD side is intensively working on the symbolic plane, as other annual meetings are taking place with MDIs using all standardization props.) But the populist mobilization of nostalgia for the past also includes the geopolitical flirtation with Putin's Russia and the questioning of the western foreign policy direction; harassment of non-governmental organizations; questioning the right of citizens and civil society to speak in public affairs and others. The memories are fading, but the memory of the memory remains and graciously blossoms with a well-targeted, populist appeal.
It is no coincidence that a number of opinions, values and roots undermining liberal democracy occur in clusters and may pose a certain danger to openness, personal responsibility, the spirit of capitalism, cultural tolerance and the respect for human rights. That is why the demystification of socialism is important.
We should not rely only on the gradual departure of nostalgia. Shared collective memories can be sources of positive recollections, even for a time when the personal experiences of many do not support this sentiment. In other words, yes, we should be concerned because the deliberate nourishment and political abuse of nostalgia for the former regime – or even just some of its "attractive" elements – are common components used to promote populism across the ideological spectrum and globe, making this nostalgic resentment alarming and toxic.

Atlanta IP Inn of Court Members:
As I mentioned at the meeting last night, we are now accepting nominations for the Pro Bono Award for the 2015/2016 Inn year. This will be the fifth year that the Inn has given the award. The award is given to a member of the Atlanta IP community that has excelled in some type of pro bono activity last year. I have formed a committee, comprising myself, Sabina Vayner and Judy Jarecki-Black, to consider all of the submissions. We will present the award to the winner at the Inn dinner in May so we need all nominations in before April 1st. Here are a few items about the award and making nominations:
The award winner should be a practicing IP attorney in the Atlanta area but doesn't necessarily need to be a member of the Inn.
You can make a nomination by sending me or any member of the Inn executive committee an e-mail outlining the work done by the individual that you believe makes that person worthy of the award. It doesn't have to be anything "formal"-a couple of paragraphs in an e-mail will suffice to get the process rolling.
For those of you that have submitted non-winning nominations in the past, please consider submitting the person again if that person has continued to excel in the pro bono area during the past year.
The pro bono work doesn't necessarily have to be in the IP area.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thanks in advance for your help in creating a great slate of nominations.
Best Regards, Frank
Frank Landgraff Senior Intellectual Property Counsel GE Power

The Fort Wayne woman who police said plotted to kill her brother's baby with breast milk tainted with a lethal amount of an over-the-counter pain medicine has turned in a guilty plea.
Sarai Rodriguez-Miranda, 19, pleaded guilty Monday morning in Allen Superior Court to a felony charge of Attempted Murder.
U.S. Marshals arrested Rodriguez-Miranda in Bay City, Michigan, in late September after police caught wind that she aimed to kill her infant niece by putting pain relief medication in a bottle of breast milk. Authorities alleged then that Rodriguez-Miranda was angry that her brother, his fiance and their daughter had been staying with her and her mother at their Fort Wayne home, and that her mother had agreed to allow them to stay longer.
Well… what to say…. Oh, I know…

We have 3 roosters on our chicken farm: Buster, Dusty and Shaq. All three of them behave in a similar fashion: 1. They are highly interested in their girls. 2. Each has a personality of his own. 3. All three stand tall and stately with great power in the flapping of their wings. 4. The dance for each one is imminent daily as they approach their brood. 5. All appear to find protecting their hens important. 6. The rooster crows throughout the day. On most days beginning somewhere around 5:00 a.m.
The rooster is a unique animal. He is the man of the hour for every flock. The rooster is "in charge". The rooster is the BMOF( Big Man On the Farm). While the hens determine
who will be in the top of the hierarchy of the flock, the rooster is at the top of the chain and uses his body and sounds to help all know this.
The rooster is different than the hen in not only appearance but in behavior. Roosters and hens are distinctly different. There is a definite difference in many traits regarding the hen and rooster.
There are several ways to determine at a young age if a chicken is a hen or a rooster. Before their first birthday, young hens are called pullets and young roosters are called cockerels. Determining whether a chicken is a male or female at an early stage can be determined by wing feathers and by the vent. As chickens grow older, they begin to feather-out and at this point the determination to whether a chicken is a rooster or a hen becomes easier. For example, roosters grow long tail feathers. They also have long and pointed saddle feathers located in front of the tale. Hens hardly have saddle feathers but if prominent at all, are rounded. The tell-tale sign of a rooster is the crow and it sounds like this "cock-a-doodle-do". Generally a rooster begins to try out his voice for crowing around the 16th month.
When crowing,the rooster makes a variety of sounds that hens do not make. They make sounds when they are in the presence of hens, when they are fed their breakfast, when they hear other roosters, when a hawk flies over, and at least 20 other sounds.
Roosters often get a bad rap but not all roosters are mean. There are many who are great pets, gentle and easy for company. My experience with roosters however, is that a great many are often floggers and in addition, willing and able to spur and peck. In our chicken yard, we always keep small rakes leaning against trees in order to be able to protect ourselves from our running or charging roosters. None of the 3 of mine do this all of the time but I never know when I may have stepped too close to their personal space to cause any one of the 3 to run at me therefore we keep protector poles available. Our protector sticks are never to hurt the rooster but always to protect us from being attacked.
While it is the hen who sits on eggs and cares for the babies, I must say that all 3 of my rooster have taken in runts, shunned babies and disabled teenagers over the years. Just this week, a teenager hen was shunned from her run and at dusk ran into the rooster coop. Shaq took her in allowing her to stay in his run and coop. When she is fully feathered and older, I'll place her in with the older hens but until then, Shaq has taken her in and they are a father and daughter team. He is a full-fledged Jersey Giant and she has his same breed characteristics.
So, today is Father's Day and I want to simply give a shout-out to all roosters and dads of the barnyard! Happy Father's Day. #chickenlivesmatter

San Luis Reservoir, Near Los Banos, California
The San Luis Reservoir is an artificial lake on San Luis Creek in the eastern slopes of the Diablo Range of Merced County, California, approximately 12 mi (19 km) west of Los Banos on State Route 152, which crosses Pacheco Pass and runs along its north shore. The reservoir stores water taken from the San Joaquin-Sacramento River Delta. Water is pumped uphill into the reservoir from the O'Neill Forebay which is fed by the California Aqueduct and is released back into the forebay to continue downstream along the aqueduct as needed for farm irrigation and other uses. Depending on water levels, the reservoir is approximately nine miles long from north to south at its longest point, and five miles (8 km) wide. At the eastern end of the reservoir is the San Luis Dam, or the B.F. Sisk Dam, the fourth largest embankment dam in the United States, which allows for a total capacity of 2,041,000 acre feet (2,518,000 dam3).
Completed in 1967 on land formerly part of Rancho San Luis Gonzaga, the 12,700 acres (5,100 ha) reservoir is a joint use facility, being a part of both the California State Water Project and Central Valley Project, which together form a network of reservoirs, dams, pumping stations, and 550 miles (885 km) of canals and major conduits to move water across California. The San Luis Reservoir is located in Merced County, and has a visitor center located at the Romero Outlook where visitors can learn more about the dam and reservoir. The surface of the reservoir lies at an elevation of approximately 544 ft (166 m), with the O'Neill Forebay below the dam at 225 ft (69 m) above sea level. This elevation difference allows for a hydroelectric plant to be constructed - the Gianelli Hydroelectric Plant. Power from this plant is sent to a Path 15 substation, Los Banos via a short power line. Those 500 kV wires, carrying both the power generated here and elsewhere, leave the area and cross the O'Neill Forebay on several man-made islands.

Vétiver - Guerlain
by Jean-Paul Guerlain
for Guerlain
The diligent reader –and we know there are some amongst you- will assuredly ask himself where does our irrationnal attraction towards islands come from ? An old trauma ? An unquenched fantasy ? Could it not be the simple desire to rediscover the freedom of our childhood ?
Indeed. Indeed it is.
Some think of an isle as a prison. There is much to be afraid of, when standing forlorn at the end of an arid peak, resisting as the wuthering winds howl and whip up foam, blanching tremendous billows as they crash upon the rocky shores. Some would say one can't escape from an island. There is nothing but the sea, the sea immense, the bittersea which knows no end, bearing the colour of sable or wine or bile. To a French eye, an isle is either Molène or Saint-Helen, barren or remote. For us, it is rather haven or shrine. Only there, in this solitude amidmost, confronted with the elements in their rawest form, bereft of any comfort whatsoever, can we remember how small we are and how good it is to be alive.
Vétiver ? Vetigreen !
Too long have we glossed on this perfume, letting it fall into oblivion, deeming it worthy only of our grandparents the darkness of our cabinets, before seeing its return to favour. Lo ! We dust it, we give it back its brutality, its dryness, its utter sensuality ; erasing from our memories the image of a clean, sharp and downright posh perfume that we had given it. Vetiver renews itself whilst Guerlain remains.
He remains and God bless him because his vetiver is, in many respects, one of the most beautiful, if not the most, on the market. Few others compete with Vetiver, although it stands, in our nosinion, yet to be defeated. Because it smells nothing like the dainty bourgeois of South-Kensington people would like it to be. On the contrary. Vetiver, to us, smells like the isle of Bréhat, with its ragged shores of pink sandstone, its gardens bursting with flowers, with palm trees and azaleas, oleanders and hydrangeas.
Remember remember : the northern island come summer's eve ? The host of tourists fell back whence it came, the isle's deserted. The moor empties, russets the heath. The tree ferns and the muddy trail, the mills, the beacons, the tors and the waters – clear as a crystal.
Remember, remember the green in summer ? The slope behind the privateers' mansions ? The chapels collapsed betwixt brambles and firths, the few cypresses that plunge into the silt, the outbursts of stone hauling out of a lawn – so green.
Green, green, green, Vétigreen.
Remember, remember, the silence that reigns supreme over the scorching pebbles ? The scent of ocean spray combined with that of southern winds ? The blushing rock and the mother-of-pearl that covered the shells ?
Remember, remember the spinneys of fern that unveil, without notice, the surprise of a sea, sonorous and ferocious, crushing its waves against the cliffs, blushing agin the sun setting.
And the blooming geraniums, and the plumes of smoke rising from the chimneys, and the moss clinging onto the gables, and the scent of bulls in the meadow.
And the blooming orange trees, and the violets along the trail that follows the coast, leading the traveller to the edge of the isle, of the moor, of the world.
Remember, remember the sun and the laughs we shared as we looked for oysters in the shingles and how hastily we crossed the tombolo ere it was submerged by the rising tide.
Have you forgotten ? Has the memory faded already ?
Green, green, green Vetigreen.
It opens up on a bright orange mixed with a crisp bergamote but already and for a long time, one can notice the vetiver. It is fresh, warm, sensual. It vanishes, at night, in your sheets. Like a memory that holds onto you, that got under your skin.
On us, the citrus fruits fade away to reveal a perfect accord of vetiver and tonka bean. The first is dour, round's the other; the vetiver is light, the second heavier ; one is smokey and the other silky. It never wanders, it remains vetiver. It is vetivisle : one can smell wafts of tobacco coming out of an ajar window, and hints of black pepper which zest remind us of the salty breeze that washes the drying steppe.
It lasts an interesting 12hrs on our skin, a tad linear but fulfilling its task with nobility and without mischief.
It is the scent of an upright soul indeed, because its roundess and generosity would turn sour on an onloving body. It is especially the scent of freedom at ease, of a milestone reached at last, of an epic. The scent of quietude, of a life well-lived. Of a live well carried on.
By a breath.
By a breeze.
The scent of an horizon - afar. Of a shore drawn and shattered and burnt at the break of dawn. Green, green, green.
Vétiver - Guerlain
50, 100, 250ml EDT - from 80$

For Sale: 1970 Kawasaki Samurai (Mentor, Minnesota) $1,400
If you're in the market for small early 1970s two-stroke, here's a 1970 Kawasaki Samurai for sale in Mentor, Minnesota.
The Samurai wasn't a very popular bike. There were faster bikes with better steering built when Kawasaki sold these things. But there's still a market for these little 2-strokes, I'm just not sure about $1,400. I'd want to chop this up, so I wouldn't go more than $1,000 for it.
For Sale: 1975 Honda CB360 (Minneapolis, Minnesota) $750
If you're looking for a really nice donor bike for your next cafe racer, check out this 1975 Honda CB360 for sale in Minneapolis, Minnesota for $750.
I'd probably offer $500, since it hasn't run in decades, but it looks all there.
For Sale: 1981 Yamaha XS650 (St. Louis Park, Minnesota) $4,850
This 1981 Yamaha XS650 custom build is still for sale in St. Louis Park, Minnesota.
I wrote about this in October when the seller was asking $6,000. Now the price is down to $4,850, which is a lot closer to what I would consider paying for it.
For Sale: Honda CB650 (St. Cloud, Minnesota) $2,500
Here's a Honda CB650 for sale in St. Cloud, Minnesota.
This bike has been cafed and looks pretty cool. I don't know about $2,500, but it's worth at least $2,000, if it's as nice as it looks in photo.
For Sale: 1973 Honda SL125 (Detroit Lakes, Minnesota) $1,400
I had one of these Honda SL125s when I was a kid. It was my first motorcycle. At 14, I rode the shit out of that thing. I, or my parents, paid $250 for it.
This one, the seller is asking $1,400. I saw one, in better shape, sell for $2,800. That's crazy to me, but apparently these little bikes are super collectible. My parents shouldn't have given mine away without talking to me first, oh well.

Hey everyone!
It's Bianca, the fashionABLE intern for the Fall semester. I'm so excited to share my intern experiences with you over the course of the semester. I've been interning with fashionABLE for a few short weeks, and I'm looking forward to serving on the fashionABLE team for the next few months.
This week has been particularly exciting here at the Mocha Club / fashionABLE office. I've been working directly with Jordan and Marisa to help prepare scarves for orders, and I was delighted to have the privilege to help them get ready for their trip to New York for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week this past weekend. I helped get all of the scarves packed and ready to bring to NYC, and I also helped put together a lot of the marketing materials for potential retailers. In addition to getting the scarves and the marketing materials ready for NYC, I prepared invites for the fashionABLE party that took place at Diana Warner's Store!
Jordan and Marisa got back on Tuesday, and I was excited to hear about their trip when I came into the office on Wednesday. They shared pictures of their trip with me, and I was glad to hear that the party with Diana Warner was a great success! It's awesome to know that I helped play a role in fashionABLE's participation in Fashion Week and Fashion's Night Out.
On Wednesday, Vanessa, Lauren, and I had the opportunity of sitting in on a meeting with African Leadership. It was especially exciting because Barrett had just gotten back from Ethiopia, and he shared with us his journey of adopting his new daughter, Lena! It was incredible to hear about Barrett and his family's journey that ended in bringing a beautiful new baby girl home to Nashville!
In addition, it was incredible to hear about all of the other efforts African Leadership is involved in. From pastor training to medical supply delivery to building dorms for young men and women, African Leadership is making a great contribution to people in need, and it was fascinating to hear about these efforts from the people who are spearheading them.
Overall, it's been a fun week, and I've truly got to know a lot more about the Mocha Club, fashionABLE, and African Leadership. I'm excited to work with Barrett and help implement all of the wonderful ideas he has for fashionABLE!
Until next time,

Amateur boxing is described as part of the fabric of society. Boxing, for many young athletes, is their first exposure to organized sports.
Amateur boxing is described as part of the fabric of society. Boxing, for many young athletes, is their first exposure to organized sports.
Recently, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Canadian Paediatric Society issued a policy statement on boxing participation by youngsters. The position states they "... oppose boxing and, in particular, discourage participation by children and adolescents."
The position statement goes on to encourage alternative sports, such as swimming, tennis, basketball and volleyball. This position is based on limited data and doesn't account for many intangible advantages or disadvantages.
Amateur boxing is highly regulated under the watchful eyes of experienced coaches. Physicians are present for events and pre-fight and post-fight physicals are required.
Head protection and heavily padded gloves protect against serious injury. Bouts are brief and sportsmanship is stressed. Style and finesse are the principal ways to score points and officials are quick to end a one-sided match.
Structured sport
The health advantages for amateur boxers are numerous. Each participant must train regularly to build strength and stamina. The structure of a boxing gym often substitutes for a stable home life.
Boxing provides a reason to avoid tobacco, alcohol and criminal mischief.
"Amateur boxing helps build self-confidence, especially for children who don't do well in team sports," said Jody Sheeley, who owned the Second Chance Gym in Norwich and has been involved in amateur boxing for many years. He said he hasn't seen a youngster require emergency medical care as a result of an amateur boxing match.
Amateur boxing has provided a healthy outlet for many young people who do not have access to other competitive sports that require significant financial investment. It is a sport that deserves public support and not restriction.

I made a soundscape about a year ago to exhibit in a great project called the Sublimation project curated by Daniel Savage for the You Are Here Festival. Daniel invited a number of artists to make work for the show - and then a second group to make responses to the original works, translating the ideas or approaches into another medium.
For you are here I recorded sounds and stories from the Causeway in Kingston and the Jerrabomberra Wetlands at the end of Lake Burley Griffin.
I responded to a work made by Kate Smith that sourced stories from Canberra archives and reproduced them in the form of letters that could be found by the Festival attendees located around the festival hub, http://youareherecanberra.com.au/event/postscript/ Reading through Kate Smith's letters about the history of Canberra I was drawn to the ones that mentioned the areas around where I live and have lived. Having grown up in the inner South, and moving back to this side of town after years spent living in the inner North and Queanbeyan I feel embedded in the familiar rhythms of Canberra life, but also aware of how the city has changed around me.
Blueberry St is the last street in the part of Kingston known as The Causeway. This is one of the older parts of Canberra and has a colourful history, having housed workers in the early days of the construction of the city. It is mostly inhabited by public housing tenants and has formed a strong sense of community. I don't know how long I'll be able to stay in the house I'm living in, and wonder what will happen to the Causeway in future as the city continues to develop. Right now I pay attention to the stories people tell me about the area and observe the comings and goings of the birds and animals over the seasons, appreciating the nearby wetlands and the sense that while I'm living in the middle of a city, my home feels like it is still an isolated farmhouse.

"What you thought before has led to every choice you have made, and this adds up to you at this moment. If you want to change who you are physically, mentally, and spiritually, you will have to change what you THINK." - Dr. Patrick Gentempo
I believe there is much wisdom in the above statement. Major shifts in thinking - both personal and societal - are difficult, but these are the essential first steps to ending domestic violence.
ABUSERS think they can keep their partners in their lives by using control and intimidation and instilling fear in their partners, but instead, it is this very behavior that drives them away.
VICTIMS, on the other hand, think if they can just get their partners some kind of mental health or medical help, or change their own behavior, the abuse will stop.
These are both misguided notions, of course. The batterer who truly wants to stop abusing must admit that he makes choices each time he abuses, and most importantly, stop believing he has the right to control and dominate his partner. No amount of therapy, "anger management" or substance abuse treatment will stop the abuse without this fundamental, permanent change in his thinking.
The victim who wants to live free of violence must realize that her partner is not "out of control" and unable to behave respectfully. She must embrace the painful realization that he gives himself permission to treat her badly each time he abuses her, verbally, physically or otherwise. She must understand that he could choose to walk away or make a better choice and shift her focus from how to get him help to how she can promote her own safety and long-term best interests.
A SOCIETY that wants to end domestic violence must change its thinking as well. Its focus must shift from simply adjudicating known abusers to preventing boys from growing up to become abusers. This requires the recognition and acknowledgment that misogyny and the patriarchal notion of male superiority underpin violence against women. Demanding zero tolerance for abuse in all its forms and promoting true gender equality are the key. Only then will a society stop raising batterers.
"Let us have love and more love; a love that melts all opposition, a love that conquers all foes, a love that sweeps away all barriers, a love that aboundeth in charity, a large-heartedness, tolerance, forgiveness and noble striving, a love that triumphs over all obstacles".
~ Abdu'l Bahá

Tell the Attorney General: Survivors of domestic violence deserve shelter in the U.S.: Attorney General Jeff Sessions just overturned longstanding policies protecting domestic violence survivors who are seeking refuge and asylum in the U.S., jeopardizing decades of work to ensure that women are treated as equal citizens under the law, deserving of government protection. It could impact how violence against women is treated in all courts, potentially bringing the law back to a time when domestic violence was viewed as a "private" matter that didn't require government intervention.
