"Don't worry darling, there are plenty more fish in the sea " said my mother as she comforted me after my girlfriend dumped me in 1983. It was little solace to my heartbreak then: a platitude worn thin by careless usage. It is even less use today, because it is no longer true. Sorry Mum. There aren't plenty more fish in the sea.
Cefas, the government fisheries laboratory, has announced that there are only one hundred adult cod left in the North Sea according to their estimates. Yes, that's right only a hundred. Mature cod can live for up to 25 years and reach lengths of 6 foot. In 2011, a North Sea survey of catches showed not a single fish that was older than 13 years. Cod become more fertile as they get older. Most cod are caught when they have barely reached sexual maturity, on average when they are 4 years old. If there are no older fish, there are no eggs and larvae to perpetuate future generations. In the early 1970s, trawlers were catching 360,000 tons of cod a year in the North Sea. This year the catch is only 32,000, less than one tenth of the previous level but still 50% higher than the sustainable limit according to Cefas.
What makes this even sadder is that it is not a new story. It has happen before. In 1992, the Canadian Government finally banned all cod fishing in the Grand Banks following the complete collapse of the fish stocks. In Newfoundland, 35,000 fishermen became unemployed overnight, devastating the local economy and ending a traditional industry with a 500 year pedigree. The fishing moratorium was intended to last only 2 years to let the fish stocks recover. Sadly, this did not happen. It is only now, 20 years later, that cod stocks are recovering again but they are still at only 10% of previous levels. So the current collapse of the North Sea cod fishery is merely repeating a journey down a well worn tragic path*. If you plan on going fishing soon make sure to check out the best fishing kayak.
The crisis of the cod fisheries in both Newfoundland and now the North Sea were well flagged many years in advance. So the real question is "Why didn't someone do something about it before it was too late?" The short answer is that they couldn't. The collapse in fish stocks had a ghastly inevitability; a high-sided luge track leading to disaster. This phenomenon is known as the tragedy of the commons. Individuals acting in self interest deplete a common resource, even though it is in no one's long term interest for this to happen. It was first observed by Thucydides and Aristotle, then resurfaced in the arguments over the British Enclosure Acts in the 18th Century but was most precisely defined in economic terms in a paper by the ecologist Garrett Hardin in 1968. It is also an excellent example of the reversal of virtue at a catataxic boundary.
In the tragedy of the commons, the word "tragedy" does not imply unhappiness and sorrow but rather the inevitableness of destiny, a remorseless working of logic to its inescapable conclusion. The logic working here is the economic concept of marginal utility. Picture an area of common ground – maybe a village green. Local cattle herdsmen have the right to graze their animals there. Gradually the number of cattle increase until the size of the herd is greater than the amount the grazing land can support. This is the catataxic boundary. The time when more of the same becomes different. Each individual herdsman is faced with a choice: should he put more cows on the pasture or fewer? At this point the marginal utility equation comes into effect. He gains all the benefits of putting his extra cow on the common, but the negative effects are shared amongst all. He owns the cow but he does not own the commons. So the marginal utility to him as an individual is an overall positive: he gets all the upside, others share the downside. Therefore the logical course is for him is to keep putting more cows on the pasture until it is destroyed.
There are many examples of the tragedy of the commons and it is central to many of the problems of the modern world. Traffic congestion, email spam, the destruction of the rain forest, water shortages, pollution, global warming and overfishing all examples of the abuse of the commons. In each case, a slight gain to a self-interested individual results in a major detrimental effect to the larger community. So, for example, the new car owner gains some mobility but causes traffic congestion for everyone else. The online marketer gets a tiny positive hit rate as he clogs up the internet with spam. A farmer's borehole to irrigate his parched crops lowers the water table for everyone else. Likewise,illegal logging, factory fishing fleets and toxic waste from chemical plants destroy the environment for every one else.
So what is the solution? In 18th century England the answer was obvious. Put the commons into private ownership. If the same man owns both the cow and the land, there is an economic incentive for effective stewardship. He owns all the upside and all the downside and so will manage both to positive effect. This was the argument behind the hugely unpopular "Inclosure Acts": acts of parliament that allowed large landowners to expropriate common land, turfing off peasant farmers and enriching themselves in the process. The Highlands of Scotland were cleared of crofters who then emigrated to the USA and in turn expropriated land from the native indians through similar trickery with title deeds. In England, a landless working class was created to feed the newly emerging "dark satanic mills" depicted in Danny Boyle's Olympic opening ceremony. Karl Marx, living in London and watching from the sidelines, saw this as the first act in the class struggle that would eventually lead to the triumph of the proletariat. He outlined a different solution to the tragedy of the commons. He believed that the commons should be owned by the state not private individuals; hence, communism.
Since then, more nuanced solutions have emerged. Elinor Ostrom, who sadly died this June, won the Nobel Prize for Economics in 2009 for her work on the tragedy of the commons problem. Her solution was neither private nor state ownership, but local, communal ownership. She call such a solution "common pool resource" (CPR) management. After years studying pasture management systems in villages in Africa and Nepal, she codified a set of rules which would enable common resources to be exploited in a sustainable way. In essence, these involve clear cut boundaries between entitled locals and outsiders and a strong set of property rights and sanctions administered in a self determined way by the local community. To some, this CPR solution is the holy grail: a temperate middle path between the twin evils of rapacious capitalism and spirit-crushing communism. But others will notice that this solution the problem requires the introduction of a different type of evil: xenophobia.
CPR requires a clear division between locals who have ownership rights and outsiders who don't. There needs to be a line drawn between "us" and "them". Through rose tinted spectacles, CPR is the idealised English village community; good neighbours, earnest vicars, friendly grocers, church fetes, a good local school and a cracking village pub. Take off those spectacles and you see small mindedness, nimby attitudes, petty chauvinism, corrupt local councillors, disapproving frowns from behind twitching lace curtain and the all the ghastly wrangling of the local housing committee.
Any system that encourages the demonisation of outsiders and foreigners is surely to be deplored. One headline in the weekend press was more tragic than the story about disappearing cod. It was the killing of the US Ambassador in Libya. J.Christopher Stevens was a Peace Corps veteran, fluent in arabic with a deep knowledge of the Middle East; surely just the type of of ambassador Libya should welcome. He was killed by militant Islamists enraged by an offensive movie put on YouTube by a US citizen on the West Coast. It seems so unfair that a sympathetic arabist in Libya should be killed in retaliation for the actions of a crazed bigot in California, but to a xenophobe all foreigners are the same.
So the tragedy of the commons has three solutions, all with potentially negative side effects. Is there nothing positive to be said? Yes, there is. Let's look at the mirror image of the tragedy which we could term the "comedy" of the commons or the "inverse commons". This is where a small negative to an individual results in a major positive benefit to the community. Those who believe in the economic utility function would classify this self-harming, altruistic behaviour as impossible. But not only does it exist, it is the basis of a lot of successful business models in the new information economy. The best example is Wikipedia where individuals contribute their knowledge for free for the good of the greater community. The "inverse commons" concept is also at the heart of the "facebook" social networking revolution and open source software movement.
On a lighter note, even cod shortage may have a silver lining. Fewer cod has meant a boom in the population of the crustacea that the cod feed on. It looks like you will be swapping your "cod and chips" for "scampi and chips" in the future…
* For those who are interested in further reading on the subject, I highly recommend Cod by Mark Kurlansky (Vintage, 1999) and The End of The Line by Charles Clover (Ebury Press, 2004).

So I'll be switching gears for a little bit. Hope that's okay. I'll get back to the whole "crazy bandits are stealing Cleo's bag what are we gonna do!" saga sometime next year, which is likely how long this little flashback sequence is going to last. On the plus side, you're going to find out a lot more about Cleo as well as meet some new characters I've been dying to introduce. One of which is Akila (who's poking Cleo's face in the last panel there).

Exporting to QuickBooks
You can use Wild Apricot to manage your accounts receivable, but to manage your general ledger or accounts payable, you'll need a dedicated accounting system. QuickBooks is a popular choice for small organizations, so Wild Apricot provides an export feature so you can transfer financial data – invoices, payments, refunds, and donations – and customer records from Wild Apricot to QuickBooks.
When you export Wild Apricot data, you generate a QuickBooks IIF file, which can be imported into QuickBooks 2002 or later. (The IIF file cannot be imported into QuickBooks Online directly, but you might be able to find some third party tools that can help you doing this.)
Before you generate an export file, you must properly set up both QuickBooks and Wild Apricot. Then, you can filter the data you want to export, preview the transactions, and generate the export file.
Exporting to QuickBooks workflow
Below is a summary of the workflow involved in reconciling Wild Apricot transactions with QuickBooks.
In QuickBooks...
- Set up your accounts.
- Optionally, set up your classes.
In Wild Apricot's export settings for QuickBooks...
- Control how the customer will be identified.
- Specify the accounts to be updated.
- Choose the classes to be used to classify transactions.
In Wild Apricot's Finances or Donations module...
- Export your customer records.
- Export your transactions.
In QuickBooks...
- Import the customer records.
- Import the transactions.
- Apply payments to invoices.
As more transactions take place, you would repeat the process of exporting then importing new customer records and transactions, using date filters to avoid importing duplicate records.
This steps are described in detail below.

As part of the export file, Wild Apricot uses QuickBooks classes to classify transactions. If you want to organize transactions by class, you must turn on class tracking in QuickBooks. To enable class tracking in QuickBooks, follow these steps:
- In QuickBooks, click the Edit menu.
- On the left side of the Preferences dialog, click Accounting.
- Click the Company Preferences tab.
- Check the Use class tracking checkbox.
You do not have to set up your classes in QuickBooks before importing from Wild Apricot – the appropriate classes will be automatically created as part of the import process. However, you should set up any accounts that you want to update with your Wild Apricot data; otherwise, the accounts will be automatically created in QuickBooks as a bank account.
If you do not already have your customers set up in QuickBooks, you should export customer records from Wild Apricot and import them into QuickBooks before importing transactions.
Setting up Wild Apricot to export to QuickBooks
From the QuickBooks export settings screen, you can control how customers are identified, choose the accounts to be updated, and specify the classes to be used to classify transactions in QuickBooks.
To display the QuickBooks export settings screen, hover over the Finances menu then select the QuickBooks option. From the QuickBooks export settings screen, click the Edit button to enter edit mode.
Customer settings
To control how customers are identified in QuickBooks, you enter one or more macros in the Name field under Customer .
By default, the customer is identified using the {User_Id} and {Contact_FullName} macros. For a list of macros you can use in QuickBooks settings, see below.
You can also specify the customer's billing address by adding a macro that points to a custom contact field.
Specifying accounts and classes
For each type of transaction – invoice, payment, refund, and donation – you specify the account to be updated, and the class used to categorize the transaction.
For example, invoices can be classified by {Invoice_OriginType} – the source of the invoice as displayed in the Origin column on the Invoices screen in Wild Apricot. Individual invoice items are exported as descriptions.
If the classes being imported do not already exist in QuickBooks, they will be automatically created. Any accounts that do not already exist will be created as a new bank account.
You can provide for any notes to be exported along with the transaction by entering macros in the Memo fields.
Macros for export settings
The following is a list of macros that you can use in your export settings for QuickBooks.
Macro Name
|The contact's organization.
The contact's first name.
The contact's last name.
The contact's full name.
The contact's unique identifying number.
The contact's email address.
The name of the membership level.
The membership fee type (e.g. New, Renewal, Change Level).
The name of the event.
The date of the event.
The invoice number.
The date of the invoice.
The origin of the invoice as identified on the *Invoices* screen (e.g. Membership, Events, Custom).
Any internal notes entered for the invoice.
|Any comments to be displayed to the payer.
|The status of the invoice.
The date of the payment.
|The tender used to classify the payment.
Any internal notes entered for the payment.
|The method by which the refund was issued.
Any internal notes entered for the refund.
|Any comments to be displayed to the payer.
The donation number.
The date of the donation.
Any internal notes entered for the donation.
|Any comments to be displayed to the payer.
The value of a custom common field.
|The value of a custom membership field.
Exporting Wild Apricot data
After you have properly set up both QuickBooks and Wild Apricot, you can filter the data you want to export, preview the transactions, and generate the export file.
Filtering the data
The first step in the export process is to filter the data you want to export.
To export invoices or payments and refunds, hover over the Finances menu then select the Invoices option or the Payments & refunds option. To export donations, hover over the Donations menu and select the Donations option.
In each case, you can filter the data to be exported then click the Export to QuickBooks button, or click the button then filter the data from the next screen that appears.
Before clicking the Export to QuickBooks button, you can filter the data by date, by transaction type, or by entering a search keyword.
To filter the data by date, select a predefined date range from the Select range drop down, or enter the start and end dates of the range in the two date fields to the right. In either case, click the Apply button to apply the date filter.
To filter the log by transaction type, click the Filter drop-down and select the type of transaction you want to view.
If you want to view transactions for a particular contact or set of contacts, you can enter a search string in the Search field.
After you click the Export to QuickBooks button, you can choose between exporting the currently displayed transactions, exporting all transactions, or choosing a different set of filter options.
If you want to export the currently displayed transactions, make sure the Export current filtered list radio button is selected.
If, instead, you click the Export all transactions radio button, you can export all invoices, payments, donations, refunds, regardless of which screen you are currently on. You can export the complete set of transactions or filter it by date or transaction type.
You can also sort the data by any combination of transaction type, date, and customer name.
Previewing transactions
To preview the transactions to be exported before generating the export file, click the Preview transactions button.
Generating the export file
When you are finished filtering and previewing the data, click the Export transactions button to export the currently displayed transactions or click the Export customers button to export the contact records associated with the transactions.
If you just export the transactions, customer records will be created in QuickBooks for each new contact associated with the imported transactions using the Name macro in your QuickBooks export settings, but the records will be empty apart from the Customer Name field.
Whether you choose to export transactions or customers, the data will be exported to an IIF (Intuit Interchange Format) file.
Importing into QuickBooks
You can import the generated IIF file into QuickBooks 2002 or later.
QuickBooks Online does not itself support IIF files, instead you have to look for 3rd party tools e.g. from Intuit and AaaTeX might help you accomplish this (See also How to import Journal Entries using IIF files into QuickBooks Online using Transaction Pro Importer.) Note however we cannot guarantee these 3rd party tools are compatible with the Wild Apricot IIF file.
To import an IIF file into QuickBooks 2002 or later, you must be logged in as the QuickBooks Administrator, and in single-user mode – to prevent other users from accessing data as it is being imported. If you have not created users and roles in your company file, you are logged in as the Admin user by default.
To import an IIF file into QuickBooks 2002 and later, follow these steps:
- In QuickBooks, click the File menu.
- Click the Utilities option.
Click the Import option.
- Click the IIF Files option.
- Select the IIF file to be imported.
- Click the Open button.
Your transactions will now be imported, and assigned to accounts and classes according to your Wild Apricot export settings. Any accounts that do not already exist will be created as a new bank account. Any classes that do not already exist in QuickBooks will be automatically created. Individual invoice items will be added to your items list.
For more help with the import process, please visit the Intuit QuickBooks Community site in the Importing and Exporting Data forum.

Keep it fresh
I published my first band interview on October 7, 2006. It was with a lo-fi "appalachian soul" band out of the North Carolina mountains called the Choosy Beggars. I was really proud the day I posted it online. Now it makes me cringe. 🙂
In the ten years since then, I've learned a lot about music, a lot about podcasting, a lot about interviewing, and a lot about tenacity and gumption. But I figure you oughta change things up every decade or so to keep things fresh.
So I have decided that it's time to end the Americana Music Show.
I won't be publishing any more episodes of the show and I'm also ending the show on WHUP.
I will be leaving the web site up indefinitely and the existing episodes will remain online, in iTunes, Google Play Music, and all the usual places.
I do intend to post videos to the blog and write music reviews on the blog.
If you are subscribed to the newsletter, you may want to continue to do so. You will only get the newsletter when there is new content on the site. .
Please keep in touch!
I have made many good friends through the show and I do want to keep up with y'all. You can keep up with me at CalvinPowers.com. You can sign up to receive my personal email newsletter to get updates from all my various blogs and media projects. My email address and social media contact info is online here.
Thank You Thank You Thank You
I've got so many thanks to give I hardly know where to start.
First and foremost, I want to say thank you to all of the songwriters, musicians, and bands who have submitted their music to the show. (And the PR agents and labels who made sure the music got to me.) I have received thousands, probably tens of thousands of albums to audition. And I've listened to albums from every skill level, from people who have nothing more than the proverbial "three chords and the truth" to bands that will take your breath away. But here's the thing. I can honestly say that I never received an album that wasn't a sincere effort. That's one of the few things that gives me hope and faith in humanity these days.
Thank you to every single one of those of you who have ever listened to a single episode. Even though I don't know you personally, believe me, I feel the connection. I'll never forget the first time I messed up the web site somehow and the weekly episode didn't come out on time the day it was supposed to come out. I got emails from all over the world asking me, politely, if there was going to be an episode that week. That experience really brought home to me that there really is an audience out there listening every week.
Among the most loyal listeners is a small select group called the Americana Music Show patrons. These folks are the ones who signed up at the Patreon site and who chip in a few bucks every week to help cover the expenses for the show. Words cannot express how much I appreciate that vote of confidence that represents week after week. In addition to financial support, the show patrons have been like my field reporters, sending in suggestions and "heads up" emails about bands and singers they think should be on my radar screen. I always looked forward to hearing from my patrons. Thank you to all of you who have supported the show through Patreon as well as the Amazon Affiliate program.
I want to say thank you to all of the radio stations that trained me on how to use a mixing board and how to speak into a microphone. Namely WXDU, WCOM, and WHUP. Every station is different and has its own character, strengths, and weaknesses. But there are good folks at every one of them and I count myself lucky to have been associated with all of them.
And lastly, I want to say thank you to my wife, Patrica French, who gave me her full support at every opportunity and who held her tongue even when she had every right to complain about how much time I was spending on my "hobby."
Road Goes On Forever
I've always said that the Americana Music Show features "hand-picked, road-tested" american music to turn your commute into a road trip.
The podcast may be ending, but the road goes on forever and the party never ends.
Now, get out there and make some noise of your own....

Roseville's Prevent Frozen Water Pipes Tips
The frigid temperatures we are currently experiencing can cause one of winter's worst woes - frozen water pipes. Property owners and residents can take some simple precautions to prevent the inconvenience and expense of frozen water pipes.
Insulate Pipes and faucets outdoors and in unheated areas. Wrap pipes with pipe-insulating materal, which is available at hardware and plumbing supply store, or use insulation. Be sure to protect all pipes in unheated areas, such as crawl spaces and garages.
Do not attempt to put anti-freeze into any water pipes. Antifreeze is toxic to humans, pets, wildlife and landscaping and is harmful to the environment. Antifreeze shouldn't be used unless specifically called for by a manufacturer.
Make sure you know the location of your master water shut-off valve. The frozen pipe may already be broken and will leak when the water is thawed. In this case, you will need to shut off the water in your home or business until the leaking pipe is fixed.
Thawing Frozen Pipes
If you locate the frozen section of pipe and try to thaw it yourself, be sure to take the following precautions to protect yourself and your property.
- Do not use a torch with an open flame.
- Open the faucet first. Start by warming the pipe as close to the faucet as possible working toward the coldest section of the pipe. Water running through the pipe will help to melt the ice in the pipe.
- Place a warm towel or rag around the pipe. Pour hot water over the cloth. Repeat severl times until the pipe is unfrozen.
- If water is not available, you may use a hair dryer but be careful to avoid getting it wet causing a shock.

"RTM came in when we were particularly vulnerable, helped us pick up the pieces and move forward on a better path. They really work to ensure solutions meet our needs, not their quotas."
"In a time when it seems customer service is a thing of the past, the RTM group provides the example others should follow."
"RTM Communications has been invaluable to our organization. I've met many organizations that do what they do, but none who do it as well. Their involvement in our organization has not only helped me out in technical situations, but elevated my own skill level. The things their engineers do every day are the types of things an internal I.T. person does once or twice over the course of their tenure. Those are the people I want in my corner."
"I have worked with RTM for better than twelve years and have found them to be one of my most trusted and most reliable resources in dealing with today's technology and ways to integrate the new concepts and programs with our existing systems in a seamless and future centric manner."
"RTM, what does it really mean? They say it is 'Remove The Mystery.' I think it stands for 'reliable, trustworthy, medley,' the people at RTM can make it happen! They truly live up to their name, they remove the mystery from voice, and data by building friendships! Who do you trust, your friends, that's who!"

Okay, I admit I'd never heard of Grape-kun before yesterday, but all of a sudden, my social media timelines were full of him.
The handy website Know Your Meme breaks down the facts. Grape-kun was an elderly Humboldt penguin in the Tobu Zoo in Japan. For a while, the zoo had placed cardboard cutouts of characters from the manga and anime series Kemono Friends in the pens of various animals as an advertising gimmick. I've never seen Kemono Friends, but it is apparently yet another of the innumerable manga/anime about random objects anthropomorphized as little girls; in this case, the random objects are animals. The anime series is on Crunchyroll.
Anyway, the zoo placed an image of a character named Hululu, an anthropomorphized penguin, in the pen of Grape-kun. Thereafter, people noticed the penguin frequently staring at the image.
Naturally, people leapt to conclusions, and Goboiano reported on April 27 with the headline, "Japan Puts Anime in Zoo and Penguin Adopts a Waifu."
Grape-kun died yesterday, October 12th. The zoo reported that the cut-out of Hululu was with Grape-kun through his final moments.
Four months ago, this comic showed up on the Internet. I've been unable to figure out if this is from the manga version of Kemono Friends, or if this is someone's fan art, but either way, it is now relevant:
Rest in peace, Grape-kun.

I'm sure most folks are aware that Apple released their first update to iOS 5 yesterday. This was mainly to address the battery issues some users were reporting, but the iOS 5.01 update also has brought the multitasking gestures available on the iPad2 to the original iPad. This was also the first update that one could do "over the air" or without the need to connect to ones computer to do so. In my case, it went without a hitch and it took only about ten minutes in total.
I have also added a few more documents to the
Documentation page.
This includes an update to the Garage Band 6 tutorial Keith Reedy of
icanworkthisthing.comhas helped to write.
In addition, there is also now a keyboard commands list for Mac OS X Lion. This information was taken from an updated Apple knowledge base article.

As we celebrate the arrival of 2014, new tech devices received during the holidays are all the rage. At the same time, it's important to remember that these devices are heading to work. Last year, mobile devices drove more than 17 percent of the 2013 holiday season spend – an increase of about 12 percent from 2012. And, in their annual holiday forecast, the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) predicted that tablets would top gift wish lists for adults. In early 2014, many of these new tech items will head straight for offices and in many cases, government agencies – creating a tough first few days back on the job for IT managers.
January is a time for employees with new tablets, smartphones, and laptops to quickly leverage their new devices to improve workplace efficiency. And, as in the private sector, government agencies will undoubtedly feel the surge in new devices this winter. Whether they're being used for bring-your-own-device (BYOD) or telework, it's imperative for IT teams to first clearly communicate the necessary policies and guidelines, and then equip themselves with comprehensive mobile device management (MDM) technology to support the programs.
There are several key elements to a comprehensive mobility policy. Agencies must first define what BYOD and using personal mobile devices can mean for the agency and the employee, clearly outlining the benefits and considerations. Next, agencies must outline mobility security guidelines to ensure uniform compliance. Also critical is outlining the new responsibilities that each employee will need to accept to participate in the mobility program. Finally, agencies should focus on providing training that shows employees how to access the tools and solutions they need on their mobile devices to foster enhanced productivity.
Once the policy is defined, firmly in place, and conveyed to employees, agencies need to focus on laying the technical foundation to support it. Through their telework policies, many agencies enable employees to access resources remotely either from personal Wi-Fi or 4G connections. This "bring-your-own-network" approach to telework, coupled with solutions that limit data exposure, ensure that all data stays secure in the government data center while allowing employees to use their personal devices to work anytime, anywhere. Supporting this, Citrix XenApp enables any Windows application to be virtualized, centralized, and managed in the data center and instantly delivered to any user device. Citrix XenApp controls and encrypts access to data and applications, ensuring security of all data.
Agencies need to have the proper technology in place to fully harness the power of BYOD with employees' new devices. And a solution such as MDM is imperative. Whether it is to support the latest tablet, a new smartphone, or a laptop/tablet duo, Citrix XenMobile Enterprise Edition brings the first holistic approach to mobile management, enabling users to use any device, any app, and access their e-mail and documents from anywhere, at any time. XenMobile also meets IT's mandated security requirements and utilizes powerful analytics that enable administrators to audit devices, applications, and network access – giving IT full control of all devices.
As I mentioned previously, the most important first step to empowering employees to use personal devices for professional productivity is to clearly communicate the policies, then deploy the IT infrastructure to support those policies. This will help to ensure employees are connecting securely from their new devices in and outside of the office walls. And, as 2014 will continue to bring upgrades, new software to devices, and new models, Citrix and our team are ready to ensure that our government partners are equipped with the solutions they need for devices to connect and operate securely, ensuring user friendly delivery of all information. If you have any questions about our solutions, please feel free to drop me a line at tom [dot] simmons [at] citrix [dot] com.

How much can you get done before sunset on the sixth day each week?
Is it possible to clear the desk by then?
How would it feel to put off the rest of the cleaning for 24 hours – and have a valid excuse for doing so?
Can we finish the cooking by sunset, and then relax and just eat leftovers for a day?
Seems pretty easy, actually. Why fight it?

'Witness' takes the form of a triptych, a three-panelled picture. It resulted from Viola's earlier, unsuccessful attempt tocreate a response to 'Christ as Salvator Mundi', a painting by the 15th century artist Dieric Bouts. He aimed to recreate the intensity of Bouts' Christ, who fixes his attention directly on the viewer. Viola asked a solo actor to focus with increasing strength on a single emotion, then to release it.
Dissatisfied with the outcome, Viola repeated the process with three women. They too were directed to look at the camera in an unbroken gaze. Like the actors in 'Mater', however, Viola asked them to move through the four powerful states of joy, sorrow, anger and fear. They achieve this without making the slightest unnecessary movement. The result combines an emotional force with vulnerability.

GEVA minutes 8/9/15
Aug 21st
Minutes from 7/12/15 were read and approved.
Tyler informed the club on the NDEW event Sep 20 at the planetarium. He said there should be 10 – 20 C-cars at the event. He said that he has 100 charge hangers to be given to people who bring their EVs for display. Charge hangers are placed on the J1772 charging plug when in public use. They give information as to the time the charge started and whether it is an "opportunity" or "necessary" charge. This will tell others if they can unplug the charging vehicle and use the charger for their own vehicle. Owner contact information can also be supplied.
Tyler also said there will be a Drive-in movie event on Sep 19 that is not part of the NDEW event. The show is "What is an Electric Vehicle". It is at Clean Cut Creations Vintage Auto Works and is limited to 50 plug-in electric vehicles. Gates open at 5:00 with $20 for dinner and the show. At 6:45 it is $10 for snacks and the show.
Wayne said he was contacted by Erik at EnergyCurb. EnergyCurb is a company that sells a device to track home energy usage. It can be accessed through the internet. Erik said Evers were interested in the device to track their vehicle energy usage. You can contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Wayne asked if anyone had ideas for upcoming presentations for the club. Any question they have or an article they have seen about EVs would be fair game.
Wayne said he saw a study asking whether charging stations (or lack of them) influence the buying of and electric vehicle. The study revealed that charging stations are not the main reasons for people buying EVs. Instead, the sales are more influenced by price and tax incentives.
Jim showed some videos he recorded about electric vehicles. The club members enjoyed them and they are shown below.
