As 1986 began, we had good news - a new Musical Director, Rodger Pettyjohn. He was the founder of Die Maennerstimmen, a Bay Area men's chamber chorus in 1980 and was a co-founder and member of the Society of Gay and Lesbian Composers. Our new accompanist was Dwight Okamura, who had been a pianist with the San Francisco Symphony and the Symphony Chorus, as well as doing arrangements for film and television scores.
The first concert with Rodger Pettyjohn was called This is Our Country, and a portion of ticket sales was donated to the Statue of Liberty Restoration Fund in the name of the Lesbian and Gay Community of San Francisco as a positive statement to the people of our country regarding the contribution we are making to society. We sang selections from West Side Story and A Chorus Line, a couple of traditional spirituals, two folk songs and music of Simon and Garfunkel. Featured was a quartet of the chorus named Muni Transfer, which sang two Manhattan Transfer songs.
The next concert was the 8th Annual Pride Concert. It was called A Little Guts and Lots of Glitter. There were two concerts and we sang in the Friday night concert. There were lots of performers so that is why there were two concerts. They included the San Francisco Lesbian Chorus, Barbary Coast Cloggers, Men About Town, the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Marching Band, Society of Gay and Lesbian Composers, SFGMC, Liedermann Gay Men's Chorus of San Jose, Foggy City Dancers, and City Swing and Vocal Minority.
Our next performance was the Inaugural Concert of Gay Games II Cultural Week. This featured us and the Society of Gay and Lesbian Composers. This was held at First Unitarian Church on two nights, August 1 and 5. We also sang as part of the mass chorus for the closing ceremonies of Gay Games II at Kezar Stadium.
Our final performance this year was as guests of SFGMC in their Now Sing With Hearts Aglow at Mission High School.

joined the Lesbian/Gay Chorus of San Francisco in August of 1984, after seeing them sing in the Pride Concert the previous June and their director, Matt O'Grady, announced that if anyone in the audience wanted to join the chorus that auditions would be coming up so he joined. During his time in the chorus he has always sang in the bass section. He has served as Music Librarian, on the Production Committee, the Artistic Advisory Committee, as a bass section leader, as the GALA liaison and currently as chorus historian. He is glad to create this blog for the chorus to get the history out to anyone who looks at our website.

It is constantly simple to get captured up in the action and also to hold the shutter button down to capture framework after framework. The greater end DSLR video cameras catch upwards of 10 frameworks per second. You could see where a person (professional or otherwise) may get carried away. You ought to constantly consider what you are recording before you go shutter insane. While several framework series could commonly narrate, occasionally the only point they give is a thrown away actuation on your video camera. There are a variety of various techniques to make use of and also no solitary one is far better compared to the various other. A great deal of it pertains to your taste in pictures, your comfort zone for capturing and also the subject you are shooting. It's constantly a great idea to attempt and also experiment with various techniques during a shoot to get a good random sample of the action you are shooting. Try to remember that you are narrating concerning the video game or event and that individuals will certainly "get" what you are revealing them if you catch the minutes from many different point of views. One great point that will certainly aid with your action photography is an excellent tripod. Read this short article concerning best travel tripods at jonnycamera.com to get a good summary of every one of your choices. If you desire stable pictures, you require a tripod.
"Provide me encounter" or "I wish to see faces" is a typical cry from the image editor since that is the cry they obtain from their manager. The face is the main resource of feeling and also feeling is what makes or breaks a shot. Shots of the subject's backside simply don't suffice. When shooting a sport you have to know the gamer's areas. As an example, in basketball, if capturing from a side line, you only shoot individuals taking jump shots from the top of the vital around the backside far from you. Any type of one taking a dive shot in your corner of the court will certainly be a shot of their rear end. If you can't see their face, don't take the shot. Once again, remember that positioning on your own in various areas during a video game will certainly provide you various chances to catch the video game from a variety of point of views. In some sporting activities, faces are tough to handle. Football, Hockey, and also Baseball have the tendency to be difficult to catch faces depending upon the level of play. Young people hockey for instance involves face cages on the safety helmets. Football in all levels of play involves face cages. Baseball caps create extreme shadows across faces. The simple service is to utilize a fill flash; however, flashes are usually not pleasant for sporting activities as a result of restricted variety and also the possible disturbance to the gamer. Still it's best to get the cage in the shot due to the fact that the face will certainly reveal through far better compared to the back of the headgear. If you have adequate illumination and also an actually long lens, you could occasionally capture a good shot of a face with a cage/shield although you do have to have some advanced tools and also good area to get that type of shot. Metering a shadowed face could be a challenge but with practice and also a fast flip from your action settings to a slower shutter rate, it could be performed with good success.
There are two ways to hold a camera that results the structure. This was discussed previously. You could hold the video camera in the typical way where the long side of the capture area is horizontal to the ground. This is a straight or landscape format. If you turn the video camera to make sure that the long side of the capture area is perpendicular to the ground, you are currently shooting upright or picture format.
Many of the greater end DSLR video cameras have an extra release that enables you to hold a camera in a typical fashion (left hand under the lens, right-hand man along the right side of the body) in contrast to the old way of capturing up and down (left hand under the lens, right-hand man on top of the video camera since the video camera was turned 90 levels left). These upright releases have been a marvel for sporting activities photography since it enables the video camera to be held in a much more secure and also comfortable style.
Why would you wish to hold your video camera in the upright setting? Consider the shape of your subject. They are taller compared to they are broad. To fill the framework with a person playing a sport, they fit the framework much better while holding the video camera up and down. Even in a tight head shot fits far better up and down. The majority of sporting activities shots, specifically if it is of a specific, are shot up and down. Straight shots are made use of more revealing dispute or the "larger picture" that is being recorded such as the beginning of a race or a group of professional athletes objecting to the play.
The upright vs. horizontal decision needs to be made based upon your desired objective in recording the scene. If you are highlighting a specific, you ought to shoot upright. A majority of photo ops in basketball, baseball, running, triathlon and also various other private sporting activities come from private initiatives. Nevertheless, there are times where you wish to reveal the dispute in the scene, for instance two hockey players fighting for a puck along the boards, or a soccer gamer being pursued by the defence. To catch these several individuals, you normally will need to shoot horizontal. You ought to make a mindful decision before you fire the framework about your goals in recording the shot.
There is a typical photography rule called "The Guideline of Thirds", which states that if you split the framework right into thirds up and down and also flat and also put the subject where the lines intersect, the resulting image is more intriguing. For Sports photography, following the Guideline of Thirds in concept is a great idea. Lead your subject right into the framework. If you are shooting an athlete running entrusted to right, leave even more area on the right side compared to the entrusted to imply that he or she is going somewhere. Shooting the athlete leaving the framework is poor structure. If you are shooting a tight "picture" design shot, have the subjects head on a "Guideline of Thirds" line. If you fill the framework, you ought to be in respectable shape, simply leave some room on the framework in the instructions the gamer is dealing with.
There are some brand-new techniques today that include 360 level video cameras that make images and also video for online reality. Jonny has an excellent summary of the most effective 360 level video cameras in this short article concerning https://jonnycamera.com/best-360-cameras/. Ensure you review it and also allow me know what you believe.
Shots that do not have feeling are likely to be the ones that you glimpse over and also never ever utilize. They do not have the energy and also the tale telling capability that makes a photo come to life. If there is no feeling, after that there is little need to watch it. The majority of tight action shots of players will certainly be emotional whether they are little league football players or professional baseball players. When we apply ourselves, we reveal feeling. From the little tee-ball gamer messing with her hair and also her headgear, to the strain of a high jumper working to get over the bar, there is plenty of feeling to be discovered in sporting activities. You will, with experience be able to modify out the shots that do not have feeling and also do not tell the tale. However it needs a lot of capturing and also a lot of initiative in choosing your shots. You ought to also search for feeling from various other sources. Ensure to require time to shoot the players and also the group during and also after events. Do not constantly focus on the sphere, but on the feeling after a video game winning objective in overtime or the group's reaction to a big slam dunk. The instructors, followers, players and also authorities are all part of the larger stage of an event. Ensure your tale consists of all elements of what took place.

Hello Hunters! I'm the maker of Hud, a simple way to create pattern libraries you can share with your team and the public. I was inspired to build this to help our own team catalogue our UI components and overall design language. I believe there is an interesting opportunity to create an "interaction management system" that manages both UI components and internal design docs. Imagine being able to build and collaborate on components before publishing to your product via GitHub or a hosted CSS file. In future you'll be able to share your components with others, combine components to form prototypes, and share components across platforms. To give you an idea of a what library could look like check out http://gethud.com/l/bootstrap. There are loads of possibilities and directions this could go, and I'm excited to get your feedback and answer some questions :)

@astrism @saxonfletcher I don't see much on the bootstrap pages on Safari/Mac either.
@geoffreywiseman @astrism Thanks for letting me know Geoffrey. Fix is currently being deployed. eta 20 minutes.
David W@proclaim · Designer by night - www.proclaim.se
It would be great with a demo of the product. Also, i really thought this was a product my Medium. The logos are really similar :-)
@proclaim Thanks for the feedback David! Definitely don't want to cause confusion about the brand. I was hoping there was enough distance but might need to re-think the logo if people deem it's too similar. Its meant to represent two layers (your product, and an interaction layer).
Vytas Butkevicius@vytasbu · Freelance designer
@saxonfletcher @proclaim have to admit I thought it's made my Medium (kind of because of the logo but mainly because of a very nice landing page - good job!).
@vytasbu @saxonfletcher @proclaim no need to change it. most things in design aren't new.
Brian Shih@bshih · Product, Pocket Gems
@tomfme this is amazing - what book is it from?
@bshih Trade Marks & Symbols by Yasaburo Kuwayama. If it hasn't been posted to Product Hunt Books, then it's all yours to post 😬
Jonathan Widawski@widawskij · Founder @mazedesignhq
Very cool and clean! Great job!
@widawskij Thanks Jonathan!
Thomas Chrétien@tchret · tchret.com
@saxonfletcher: Nice landing page! Added to Product Page 🙌🏻
@tchret Awesome. Thanks Thomas :)
Megan Matt@meganmatt42 · Megan, Augl
This could be great for small startup teams, like my cofounder and myself. We're kind of pinch hitting design while getting our beta up but seems like this would add some structure and discipline.
@meganmatt42 Spot on! Initial target audience is smaller teams who don't necessarily have the resources to dedicate a full team to building and maintaining a design language. I think its valuable for design teams to set constraints and enforce consistency, especially when scaling.

Okay, this collection of must haves is a little...random, I'll admit it, but they are still M U S T H A V E S nonetheless. I'm talking stockpile situation here guys.
First up, my must haves. Now, I'm usually a good sleeper. What I mean by that, is although my children aren't always the best sleepers (looking at you, three year old) I have never had any issues with sleeping. Lately though, after the baby gets up or the aforementioned three year old crawls into my bed because she had a nightmare about "tormados" (why are tornado/volcano fears her big thing right now?? Did she accidentally watch something on the Discovery channel she shouldn't have?! It's a mystery, folks) I have trouble falling back to sleep.
Enter, Sleepy by Lush. Or, as I like to call it, THE BEST THING EVER. The lavender and tonka (from the tonka bean, sort of a vanilla and cinnamon-y fragrance) scent is dreamy (pun intended) and because it's made from natural ingredients, I even use it on the kids (when I feel like sharing). I'm telling you, it's like a sleeping pill in lotion form. As soon as I put it on I can feel my eyelids getting heavy. Besides the sleep inducing scent, it is a great moisturizer for the whole family. I'm hoarding it.
Next up was a random Target purchase over the summer that turned into a favorite. I picked up a bottle of Fekkai Soleil Beach Waves Spray on a whim because I was in a hair rut and had visions of gently tousled beach waves dancing in my head. What I got was slightly tousled and ever so slightly wavier hair but the scent, OMG THE SCENT. It has the loveliest fragrance that is so light but not too light, I get compliments on it all the time and I basically wear this hair mist as perfume now. So that's my secret. (ps I haven't seen it in Target in weeks but you can get it on Amazon still, thankfully).
Getting kids to floss is so fun, RIGHT?! After many previous attempts at making flossing "fun" fizzled out, my mom bought us this Plackers Flosser Friend. It's not a crazy complicated idea, it's seriously just the Plackers flossers inside this monster looking holder, but for whatever reason my kids love him and literally will floss every day without me asking them to. Seriously.
This Hello toothpaste is another new find that I will be stockpiling. Made for the new-to-brushing set, this toothpaste is a clear gel with soothing aloe vera and high quality sweeteners made from plants (like xylitol and erythritol) for babies and toddlers 3 months to 2 years. It's organic and totally safe if swallowed, so it's perfect for my one year old who prefers the "suck all the toothpaste off immediately" method of brushing. Plus, that packaging? So cute. I found it at Target.

Dear Mr DiaryBlog,
The deadline draws near, and our dignity wears thin as we yell at our video cameras, scream and ultimately 'teste-pop' for necessary sound recordings…and now I have a ulcer AND a toothache. Talk about good timing.
School was as 'meh' as ever, but the afternoon was somewhat interesting; spent recording voice-overs. That is, Roger's VO's…and as you might know, voice acting is quite difficult/embarrassing, especially if it's the first time. So, jokingly I had to convince my tall asian friend to take a deep breath, and then [jokingly] persuade him that he has no dignity. Nada. Zilch. All lost, gone into the dark realm of the interwebs and beyond. So yeah, now I have a new ringtone (let's just say that during the conversation, I 'accidentally' left the microphone on).
I'll tell you what's constantly in my mouth and won't leave me alone, seeking my full attention at every moment? No matter how many times I try to numb it with cold water or lick it to soothe it a bit…it keeps coming back! That's right, ulcers and toothaches. Annoying little bastards aren't they? (Might actually be a wisdom tooth…laaaame) Mummy is trying to convince me to apply this gel like substance to it, but I think I'll stick to Panadol first, before rubbing weird chemicals on my gum. Tried and true, right? Why not stick with something if it works?
Listening to NOTHING!!!

NEW technology is allowing students to learn the piano without having to be anywhere near their piano teacher.
Technical support from Charles Sturt University (CSU) is allowing students at the Riverina Conservatorium of Music to learn the piano while their teacher is hundreds of kilometres away.
The technology links two pianos using the internet, so students can watch the keys on a piano move up and down in front of them while the teacher plays.
It is part of a trial involving piano students from the Riverina Conservatorium of Music, with support from CSU's Division of Information Technology providing access to the university's dedicated fibre-optic connection.
Students learn from piano teachers at the Australian National University.
Conservatorium Director Hamish Tait said the technology could provide new opportunities for students in remote areas.
"This kind of technoloy helps break down some of the barriers of living in a regional area by giving local students access to highly qualified instructors hundreds of kilometres away," he said.
CSU technical specialist Travis Terry said the trial linked to CSU's existing remote teaching programs.
"Coupling complementary technologies like the digital piano could be a major step forward for remote teaching and we are pleased to explore the possibilities," he said.

Melissa talks to Soo-Jae Lee from Korea, studying Commerce/Law at Sydney University, about juggling the competing demands of student life. Is it possible for international students to achieve the dual goals of the student experience - a bustling social and extra-curricular life with good grades to boot - all the while battling language barriers and culture shock?
It is a truth universally acknowledged that international students come to Australia for one of two things: to party in a land of golden beaches, balmy nights, and a legal drinking age lower than most of our English-speaking comrades enjoy across the seas; or to hit the books in internationally-renowned institutions offering abundant enrolment opportunities for foreigners. These divergent objectives have often proven incompatible for international students. Many are swept up in an eternal string of college nights, house parties, and pubs offering student discounts, never to attend a lecture before midday again. At the other end of the spectrum, students struggling with the language and intent on scoring grades are often forced to make better friends with their text books than with their peers. But are these experiences necessarily mutually exclusive? Is there a way for the international student to have their academic apple and eat it too? I hit the University of Sydney, home to culturally-diverse clubs, societies and festivals and International Student House, in search of stories from the students themselves.
Soaking up the sun on the law lawns I found Soo-Jae Lee, born in Korea and undergoing a combined Commerce/Law degree. Having completed part of his high school education in North America, Soo-Jae is a veteran of the international student lifestyle. Soo-Jae is a lively personality within the law faculty, friendly with his fellow international students and long term Sydneysiders alike. But this camaraderie has often required as much hard work as passing Contract Law or Accounting, and he says he has come a long way from a relatively lonely experience in the USA. "The experience I had in America helped me," recalls Soo-Jae, reminiscing on the difficulties he had adapting to a new culture and bridging a language barrier. "I felt like I shouldn't stay like that forever." And so he went on a friend-making mission more remorseless than Tony Abbott in budgie smugglers; approaching peers in his lectures, embarking on First Year law camp, even skipping classes to attend the events of the 17 different clubs and societies he signed up for. "It's really hard to make friends if you're not proactive," says Soo-Jae. "You have to be a little bit shameless."
While he may have neglected his studies in the initial stages of the mission to acquire a social life beyond , Soo-Jae found that in the long-run his grades reaped the benefits of a more balanced lifestyle. His new Australian friends were surprisingly willing to help him with his uni work, checking his spelling and grammar in essays and joining him for stuvac study sessions.
After forging a middle path between the rival territories of social and study, Soo-Jae is inspired to help other international students adapt to life in Australia. In 2010 he founded Sydney University's International Student Networking Society, which enjoys a spread of members, some who originate from across the seas, others born and bred by the sea at Bondi. The society hosts two major parties every semester, where Soo-Jae links up his international friends with the domestic contacts he has made. They've also held language forums which have proven popular with both locals and foreigners alike, offering classes in both English and Chinese. By offering benefits to both local and international students, the society provides a way to facilitate friendships on equal footing.
Soo-Jae is fortunate to have had a practice run at international student life, a lonely experience teaching him the necessity of social pragmatism. For the brave international student, prepared to dive head-first into their new surroundings, opportunities abound. But for many, the idea of making the first move to forge friendships flips stomachs more vigorously than the looming end of semester exams. Hopefully initiatives like the International Student Networking Society will continue to crop up to make the task a little easier, as Australian Universities - and Australian society for that matter - develop an increasing appreciation of our international students.

Barbara Jordan ©1993 Cindy Debold. U.S. House Representative for Texas and distinguished speaker.
This section contains about two thirds of the face casts that were originally done for a project I hoped to get put up in the then new Austin airport of interesting and important Austinites from a variety of fields. At first I was very nervous about asking if I could do a face cast of them. Ms. Jordan was especially gracious when she came to my studio then on 5th Street. She had such a wonderful voice. Although I could not convince the Austin City Council of that time to display the castings I have no regrets to having met these movers and shakers of Austin. I am glad that I played a small part in keeping their memory more alive. Photographs and sculptures are wonderful but there is something special about a face casting being direct from life.
Texas City, Texas later commissioned a bronze copy of this piece for their new Convention Center.

Human Resources—At A Crossroads
Ken Moore Associates Presents
Human Resources—At A Crossroads
In your company, is the HR department viewed as an administrative overhead expense or as a profitability and productivity contributor?
Answering this question is critical to establishing value-added HR services that directly affect the performance of the company. As companies are forced to change their way of doing business in order to meet intense competitive and financial pressures, each department within a company must also rethink its contributions toward corporate success. Indeed, as Peter Drucker observed, leadership that views employees as a cost factor and not as a profitability resource is fatally flawed. HR professionals are learning how to directly link their activities to the achievement of the performance metrics established for the company.
Why is this happening? Arguably, within the past 10 years, someone or some thing stepped on the economic gas pedal and the pace of global business accelerated to warp speed. Companies caught unprepared discovered that they had to run three times as fast just to keep pace with their competition. Rapid and consequential advances in technology, a global business mindset and brutal competition are constantly redefining political and business boundaries. Every company is being affected by the driving forces of change.
Faced with these mounting pressures, companies are compelled to rethink their business models if they wish to sustain—let alone grow—their business. Concepts such as outsourcing, mergers, divestitures, consolidations and other actions are routinely considered by executive leadership. Executive leadership now demands a constant review of operations and all facets involved in the successful running of the company.
How does this relate to the HR discipline? As companies are compelled to adapt in order to survive and prosper, so must each major department within the organization. Functions such as HR, production, marketing and sourcing must undergo a constant cost/benefit analysis of their contributions in order to justify their existence as an internal organizational resource. Human resources is one of those functions that has struggled to keep up with the demands for change.
Internal HR departments fulfill vital administrative functions such as regulatory compliance reporting, managing the employment process, administering compensation and benefits programs, and writing policy and procedural handbooks. As necessary as these functions are, they are typically considered administrative overhead by corporate leaders. Thus, they are prime activities that can possibly be outsourced, digitized or even eliminated at considerable short-term cost savings.
Outsourcing HR administration is made easier because far too many HR executives are unable to align their department's performance factors to those factors critical to the organization's success. How, for example, does one negotiate a health care contract or design a compensation program without considering the impact that it will also have on the company's ability to competitively price its products or services in order to maintain or increase market share?
In the accounts receivable department, HR must understand why the average collection period (ACP) is increasing from 30 days to 45 days. Are the right people running accounts payable? If it is determined that personnel changes are necessary, does the HR recruiting staff know what is at stake when it screens or recommends someone to lead the accounts receivable department? Understanding the financial cost of this trend to the company will cause the recruiting team to focus on candidates who can reverse the trend and return the ACP back to 30 days. HR will have then contributed to the profitability factors of the company.
How does HR effect this change in thinking? Simply, it must recast the underlying assumptions of the human resource function into the two fundamental approaches:
- HR leaders can no longer manage their departments as administrative overhead.
- HR must operate as a profitability and productivity contributor to the organization's performance drivers.
Clearly, if the company views the HR function as administrative overhead and the HR leaders run it as such, then research and discussions are going to be held by executive leadership to determine if the work can be better performed by an outside source and at a lower overall cost.
The competitive marketplace is forcing HR and other executive teams to reorient their thinking to focus their efforts on profitability and productivity contributions to the organizational goals. Listed below are some suggestions to help HR leaders focus on linking their activities to the performance metrics established for the company.
- Learn to read and interpret basic financial performance data.The local chapter of the HR society in Albany, NY, holds a CEO panel every March. A constant theme during the past three years has been this: "Send us people who can read and understand our financial condition. Learn to communicate in our language." Whatever your job is in the organization, you must be fluent in this language. Otherwise, your arguments will be less persuasive at the decision-making table. You don't have to be a CPA to understand basic finance and accounting. HR professionals who can speak this language are able to generate strong and articulate strategy sessions that are aimed at helping to move particular quantitative or qualitative metrics in the desired direction. There are a number of books in the bookstore that explain financial statements to people who are intimidated by or fearful of numbers. Look up selected ratios on the Internet. You will find a gold mine of information regarding any ratio important to your industry and company. It will explain what it is, how it is calculated and why it is important. Ask your local HR or other trade association chapter to engage a consultant who can explain financial statements to non-financial (i.e., HR) people.
- Learn how the company positions itself for sustainment.Learn how the company must position itself to stay in business and ultimately grow the business. Robert Kaplan and David Norton, authors of a current popular management book titled The Balanced Scorecard, argue that corporations and their shareholders and stakeholders can no longer measure performance strictly on financial results. They must also evaluate performance from three additional perspectives: 1) the learning and growth perspective—how do we grow our company and create improved and/or new value for our customers, clients, passengers, patrons, etc.; 2) the internal business process perspective—do our internal systems and processes directly assist us in achieving our strategic focus and help us deliver our product or service to a degree that meets or exceeds our customers' and shareholders' expectations; and 3) the customer perspective—how are we satisfying our customers; how do our competitors satisfy their customers; how do we establish a competitive advantage with our customers?
- Understand the critical importance of corporate social responsibility.Analyze the critical factors affecting how your company manages its relationships with various stakeholders. Do you have smooth or contentious relations with your employees? Are there price wars going on with your competitors? What is your company's relationship with federal and state regulatory agencies charged with overseeing your industry (e.g., OSHA, EPA, IRS, etc)? With careful deliberation, you can assign a number between 1 (poor) and 5 (excellent) to any of the categories important to your company. For example, if you examine the relationship between your company and its vendors and determine that it rates as a "2," this assessment will lead to strategy and decision-making sessions designed to move that evaluation to "3," then to "4" and, hopefully, to "5."
- Understand well how your company makes money. Why do customers buy your company's products or services? Who are your primary competitors? What are the biggest challenges to your company? HR people need to understand these business drivers in order to contribute to the success of the business. If the company's strategy is focused on the customer, then HR needs to direct much of its efforts to insuring that that focus is realized. Carefully analyze your competition and learn what it is that you are selling. Cadillac, for example, does not sell cars or transportation solutions. It sells prestige and status. It competes with diamonds, furs and other high-end items and experiences.
- Wholly integrate HR into all other departments.Human resources as a corporate function cannot exist as a stand-alone discipline. Organizations are made up of several interconnected and interdependent entities. HR must wholly integrate itself into all other functions, and its practitioners must be able to speak the language of every department. If you expect to work as an equal partner with the company's other strategic experts, you must be able to talk with and to them—at their level—about their areas of responsibility.
- Focus on the flawless delivery of transactional HR work. As you transition the HR function into a more strategic orientation, don't forget to also focus on the flawless delivery of transactional HR work. Whether it is done internally or externally, payroll has to be met on time, labor reports need to be produced and analyzed, benefits costs need to be monitored, and government regulatory agencies need to be satisfied. Without this, HR will lack the credibility and legitimacy it needs in order to champion more powerful and strategically relevant HR agendas.
- Stay in school or go back to school. Become more knowledgeable about the business that you are in. Continually and always update your skills, knowledge and abilities and those of your staff. Make continuing education a critical portion of your company's budget. Senior leaders should set the example by participating in and sponsoring professional development activities. Identify best practices in your industry and examine closely the activities of your competitors or benchmark companies. What can you learn from them? Create programs that will help all departments in your company define operational excellence and develop flexibility to sustain and grow your company's business in the face of intense and influential marketplace pressures.
In today's knowledge economy, organizational success depends on having highly trained people who are capable of dealing with complex issues and be productive and effective in multi-disciplinary team settings. Specialists in any discipline are extremely valuable. But if their work does not directly contribute to the success factors of the company, then they will find themselves marginalized within their company.

Whistleblower Claims Lawyers
Employees who stand up for their rights or speak up about wrongdoing often suffer for it. Many employers don't want to hear it and decide to get rid of the "troublemaker".
Employer retaliation for filing claims or reporting abuses is specifically illegal under federal whistleblower legislation and parallel laws of Florida and Georgia. If you believe you were punished or fired in retaliation, the Tallahassee law firm of Marie A. Mattox, P.A., is here to stand up for you. Contact us today to explore your rights and claims in a consultation.
Wrongful Termination and Other Backlash
It is illegal for employers to take adverse employment actions in response to an employee doing any of the following:
-Filing a workers' compensation claim
-TakingFMLA leave (pregnancy leave or caring for a sick family member)
-Filing a sexual harassment or discrimination claim
-Reporting discrimination or supporting a coworker's claim
-Reporting an employer's illegal acts
-Refusing to commit illegal acts
Retaliation takes many forms, both overt and subtle: immediate termination, bad performance reviews toward later termination, job transfers or reassignments, threats and harassment, and even bad references and other interference when the person seeks new employment.
Whistleblower Claims
Pulic and private whistleblower laws protect workers against retaliation for reporting discriminatory practices, OSHA violations, fraud against the government, hiring of illegal aliens, violation of environmental regulations and other criminal acts or civil rights violations. Public whistleblower claims are those made by employees who report theft or waste of government funds or misuse of public office.
Tallahassee Lawyers for Employer Retaliation Claims
Our experienced employment lawyers have won notable cases in this area of the law that not only compensated our clients but established protections for all workers in similar circumstances. Founding attorney Marie Mattox has litigated employer retaliation cases for more than 20 years, including precedent-setting cases in workers' compensation and pregnancy retaliation. In a landmark appeal, we won the right to a jury trial in public whistleblower cases.

Mission Outreach
A sample of items collected or made by the Mission Outreach group.
"Because He First Loved Us"
Many years ago the New Haven ladies would meet twice a month at the church for what was then called "Women's Fellowship". Over the years, the fellowship slowly faded away. After retiring from a nursing career, Janie Gable restarted this group in the winter of 2012. They started by making fleece blankets and donating them to fire victims, the fire department and CPS. Janie collected information on many projects and they soon started making pillowcase dresses for Haiti, birthing kits for Bangladesh, and later that summer, shorts for little boys. In the fall of 2013, they had a Swiss steak supper to help with funding. The dinner was a huge success and they changed their group name to Mission Outreach.
The group also sews for the organization Threads of Love. This organization is made up of many churches of many denominations all working together for the same cause. Threads of Love sends their shipments along with missionaries to help orphans and needy children.
The Mission Outreach Group is excited for the work they can do in the future to help the needy throughout God's Kingdom. Working together for His purpose, they have made many memories and have built some lifelong relationships.
Interested in helping with this group? They are now accepting gently used clothing in child sizes 2 - 8. They collect peanut butter, small toy cars, small stuffed animals, pillowcases, fabrics, threads, elastics (½ & ¾") and rick rack. Of course, willing helpers and sewers are always welcome and deeply appreciated!
The Mission Outreach meets every other Thursday at the church and also an occasional Saturday meeting. Meeting dates and times are listed in the church bulletin.
Food Pantry
A small sample of the products
offered at our food pantry.
In combination with the Mid-Michigan Food Bank, New Haven Church of the Brethren runs a food pantry to help members of our community who are in need of food. The food pantry mission was started many years ago. In the past 3 or 4 years, the affiliation with the Mid-Michigan food bank has allowed us to grow and meet the needs of many families in our community.
The food pantry is open from 4 to 6 pm on the 2nd and 4th Thursday's of each month.
If you are interested in helping with this group, we are always looking for helpers to do grocery shopping, stocking of shelves, cleaning, and assisting with the distribution of food.
Please contact Denise Rossman if you have any interest in helping with this group or are in need of food pantry services.

How I Found Hydropeptide
Recently I went to a dermatology conference in New York. Like most conferences, there was a large exhibitor hall where different companies had booths set up to market their products to the dermatologists, physician assistants, and medical students (i.e. me) that were in attendance.
They typically give away full size sunscreens, lotions, peels; you name it. If it's a dermatologic product that's sold in a dermatologist's office, they had a booth at the conference.
Of course I made my rounds so I could take home a year's lifetime supply of sunscreens and various anti-wrinkle creams. The best part being that I actually came home with some great products that I'm excited to share with you all.
Hydropeptide At Home Peel System
The first product I want to talk about is Hydropeptide's at home peel system. It's sold as the Hydropeptide Anti-Wrinkle Polish & Plump Peel. In their words, this is a "date night" peel. It means you can do it after you shower, as you're getting ready for a big date, and it won't leave you with the redness, peeling, and overall side effects of professional peels.
My Experience with Hydropeptide Anti-Wrinkle Polish and Plump Peel
I had a big night planned, and I wanted my skin to be extra glowy, dew like, and overall perfection. I decided to jump in and try the Hydropeptide peel. For a second I worried that I would have terrible results. I would have had to put myself away for a week of self inflicted solitary confinement. Luckily, my fears were unfounded.
How to Use The At Home Peel System
The peel consists of two steps.
The first step is the application of the Polishing Crystals for 1-2 minutes. It's basically akin to a sugar scrub. Except the crystals are much smaller than the sugar you find at a grocery store. The sugar scrub you make in your kitchen doesn't begin to compare. This serves as the microdermabrasion aspect of the kit.
You rub this polishing crystal stuff onto your face in circular motions. Gentle circular motions that is. You will abrade your skin excessively if you try to scrub. Especially if you try to do this for 2 minutes. During this step you are essentially removing those dead skin cells that have piled up on the surface of your skin. That's why we call it microdermabrasion. Microscopic crystals slough skin cells.
The polishing crystals smell amazing. In fact, I just got the scrub all over my hands as I tried smelling it again. It's citrusy. It has lemons and oranges. It also has Vitamin C and orange peel in it. Don't try eating it. Yes, I accidentally tasted some of it.
On to step two, this is where more of the magic happens. Step two contains the Plumping Activator, and you put this on directly over the crystals you put on back during step one. This is where the peel part really comes in. The main ingredient here is lactic acid. Lactic acid is commonly used as a superficial chemical peel. It belongs to the family of alpha-hydroxy acid peels. The microdermabrasion you do in step one helps the lactic acid from step two to penetrate.
Lactic Acid Peels
Lactic acid causes increased epidermal and dermal firmness. In one study that used 12% lactic acid on study participants, they found that lactic acid increased smoothness and improved the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. (1) Does this over the counter product contain 12% lactic acid? Of course not, that's the professional strength peel that should only be done in a doctor's office.
On another note, lactic acid can increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun. You are effectively shedding parts of the topmost layer of your skin here. Help your skin look beautiful and radiant at all times by throwing on SPF 30 sunscreen.
Hydropeptide also markets the plumping activator as containing several peptides that are supposed to help. Is this scientifically proven? Probably not. But I'm sold with the microdermabrasion and lactic acid aspects.
My Opinion
So what was my opinion? From the beginning, I loved it! My skin felt smoother than I can ever remember feeling it. My cheeks were perfectly flushed from the massaging motions. I could see a noticeable difference right away.
I only had the sample size, which could do maybe 2 peels tops. I convinced the Hydropeptide representative I'd met at the conference to send me a full size. I tried it again two weeks later, and it was just as magical of an experience.
Seriously, I am accustomed to using a Neutrogena face scrub, the one with the obviously visible beads and the grainy texture, every day in the shower. You know the one I'm talking about? This was like that, but multiplied by 100.
Other Opinions
Keeping my readers in mind however, I had to test this product further. My skin is somewhat indestructible, and I had to find someone with more sensitive skin to try out this peel. Someone who was more avoidant to trying new products. Someone who had a carefully controlled skincare regimen so as not to upset their delicate skin. This someone would also need to be willing to serve as my guinea pig. Of course, I harassed my boyfriend into doing it.
Lo and behold, he had a noticeable difference in the softness of his skin too. We spent that night lovingly rubbing our hands on each other's face and nuzzling each other's cheeks. (I wish. Actually, we nuzzled a little.) We did wake up the next day to check if he suffered any ill effects from the microdermabrasion of the peel, but his skin was wholly intact. He had no breakouts or redness in sight.
The only detriment I can see to using this product is the price. At $78 for the kit, this is more of a splurge than a steal. I can say that the kit contains enough product to the peel once a week for quite a few weeks. You only need about a teaspoon of the crystals to get some good abrasion going. I'll report back here with an update once it's all gone, and let you all know how many times I was able to use it.
Overall, the self-proclaimed "date night" peel is a hit. I will be eagerly using it for future date nights.

Synchronized audio books, Human-read Audio Book. Article will auto scroll to where you are listening, Display and voice are Synchronized, While watching while listening, This is the best way of reading book, learn english, practice listening-----------------------------------The story revolves around the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne. Whereas the former is a sensible, rational creature, her younger sister is wildly romantic--a characteristic that offers Austen plenty of scope for both satire and compassion. Commenting on Edward Ferrars, a potential suitor for Elinor's hand, Marianne admits that while she "loves him tenderly," she finds him disappointing as a possible lover for her sister. Soon however, Marianne meets a man who measures up to her ideal: Mr. Willoughby, a new neighbor. So swept away by passion is Marianne that her behavior begins to border on the scandalous. Then Willoughby abandons her; meanwhile, Elinor's growing affection for Edward suffers a check when he admits he is secretly engaged to a childhood sweetheart. How each of the sisters reacts to their romantic misfortunes, and the lessons they draw before coming finally to the requisite happy ending forms the heart of the novel. Though Marianne's disregard for social conventions and willingness to consider the world well-lost for love may appeal to modern readers, it is Elinor whom Austen herself most evidently admired; a truly happy marriage, she shows us, exists only where sense and sensibility meet and mix in proper measure.

What is Domestic Violence?
Domestic violence is a "pattern of coercive behaviors used to control an intimate partner." Domestic violence not only includes physical violence, but also emotional, sexual and financial abuse. Domestic violence can happen to anyone no matter their gender, race, or sexual orientation.
-1 in 3 women have been physically abused by an intimate partner

Oberon District Museum
Located one block off Oberon's main street in Scotia Avenue. Apart from over 150 pieces of early farm machinery dotted around the nearly 2 acres of level display area the Museum also boasts a wide and varied collection of artifacts and memorabilia.
Two of the Museum's most popular exhibits are the early settler's authentic, furnished house complete with a blacksmiths shop and it's fully functioning forge.
Both these buildings were built between 1885 / 1895 and, although from different properties, compliment one another to give the visitor a real impression of how our pioneers lived and adapted to survive and succeed in making a living in this high, often harsh plateau country. Some of the other attractions to be seen include a collection of hand made bricks, a re-creation of the township of Oberon in the 1930's displayed in pottery completed by the Oberon Day Care Group based on photos and descriptions of the town as it was back then. The earliest displayed tool is an 1823 shingle cutter from the Black Springs area whilst a horse-drawn grader used in the making of the Kanangra Walls Road will make one appreciate the difference between how work was done in those days compared to today.
Opening Times
Saturdays 10am - 5pm
Sundays 10am - 5pm
Other times by arrangement

Excerpt from "XVII": "The United States Penitentiary at Leavenworth houses some of the most hardened and habitual criminals convicted by the federal government. Many inmates go in knowing they will only ever come out to be buried. The prison also serves as a convenient storage facility for men who may not have been convicted of a crime, but are too dangerous or embarrassing to to the government for them to roam free or assassinate. Like a character from a Dumas novel, these men are kept in solitary confinement, denied contact with other prisoners, and known even to most of the guards only by their number."

Buyer's Remorse and Thoughts on How To Avoid It
A recent poll discussed on CNBC showed that forty-four percent of Buyers regretted that they had not chosen a larger home.

Exercise can help Bipolar disorder
Exercise can help bipolar disorder
Many studies have shown that regular exercise can help to improve someone's mood whether they have bipolar or not. It also helps with sleep and emotion regulation which are important for those with Bipolar to control.
Exercise ideas:
1. You can always start slowly and ease yourself into an exercise routine. This could be by taking slow, short walks around the area that you live; alone or with a friend.
2. Join a gym: if you don't like being out and about in the cold weather then why not seek out your nearest gym. Do as little or as much as you want. If you are not sure how to use any of the machines, you can ask for an induction and a gym instructor will be more than happy to help you.
3. Swimming is a great for weight loss. The water takes your weight so swimming acts as a great low impact exercise for those who want to take it steady. The water can also have great psychological benefits; it can be extremely relaxing and refreshing.
4. Join an exercise class or club; if you don't like exercising alone and would like some support and motivation then scope out local classes/clubs. There should be a range of activities to choose from' look online of ask at your local gym. Classes are also great for a bit of light socialising and possibly making new friends.
5. Maybe you don't want to venture out into the cold but want to avoid the gym? You could try purchasing a workout DVD to do in your own living room. It could be some light form of exercise such as yoga or fast paced such as zumba. Shops and the internet have a huge range to choose from so you cans cope out what is suitable for you. Yoga is especially beneficial psychologically; it can help to alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety.
