In gearing up to launch a capital campaign this summer to raise $6.5 million in private funds for a new $35 million history museum, the Museum of New Mexico Foundation in Santa Fe found itself immersed in the details of architecture and sales inventory.
Foundation officials poured over blueprints for the new building and created a shopping list of opportunities, ranging from galleries to auditorium seats, that donors could name in return for gifts.
Named-gift opportunities represent "a really important tool to honor and recognize people who have helped make the project possible," says Colleen Kelly, the foundation's director of development.
As goals grow for annual drives, capital campaigns and endowments, charities increasingly are playing a name game, both to attract larger gifts in exchange for naming facilities, programs or funds, and to show other prospective donors the visibility their gifts can provide.
"It's a way of purchasing a slice of immortality," says Tim Seiler, director of public service and The Fund Raising School at the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University in Indianapolis.
Beyond recognizing the donor, or a family member or someone else the donor wants to honor, Seiler says, naming opportunities also "offer to the donor a way of stepping forward to take a leadership role in a campaign or fundraising environment."
Once used mainly to recognize donors after they had made large gifts, naming opportunities have emerged as a critical tool that charities build into their fundraising strategies to give donors incentives to make larger gifts.
"Institutions have been naming buildings and other funds for benefactors for years," says Trish Jackson, associate vice president for development at Dartmouth College in Hanover, N.H. "As the field became more professionalized, the use of named gift opportunities as a strategy for increasing gifts has become more prevalent."
Other stories in series:
Part 2: Process for soliciting naming opportunities begins early.
Part 3: Setting right price for named gifts a key issue for charities.
Part 4:Charities use naming opportunities for fundraising leverage.
Part 5: Charities look for ways to package gift-naming opportunities.
Part 6: Charities aim to avoid gift-naming pitfalls.
Part 7: Gift-naming a strategic fundraising tool for charities.

text: How Does an Air Conditioner Work? Posted July 18, 2016 The weather is hitting record numbers throughout the U.S. and many homes are using some variety of air conditioner to beat the seasonal heat. Though we are all appreciative that your air conditioner is functioning, the professionals at Van Haaften Plumbing & Heating in Pella wants to give you a glimpse at just how an AC system works. The Basics There's plenty of science involved in keeping your living space cooler. Your air conditioner operates in a comparable way to your refrigerator, however your AC has a bigger job to manage. Both your fridge and AC cool with a consistent loop of refrigerant, in your air conditioner this refrigerant loops from inside to outside your home. This refrigerant effortlessly alters from a liquid to gas and back to a liquid again. It flows into your residence as a sub-cooled liquid and as it evaporates it takes in heat from your indoor air and reverts back into vapor. This vapor then travels back to the unit outside where the heat is freed and is then condensed back into a sub-cooled liquid. Four Components There are 4 main components to your AC system: a compressor, an evaporator coil, the condensing coil and an expansion valve. The evaporator coil is the place your refrigerant evaporates from a sub-cooled liquid into a super-heated vapor. This component can be established in the home, in your garage or sometimes in your attic. Warm air transports through the cold evaporator coil and the heat is removed from the air. This cooled air is then sent throughout your indoor space. Your compressor is located in your outdoor condensing unit. The super-heated vapor from your evaporator coil flows into the compressor which increases the pressure of the vapor until it is changed into hot, high pressure vapor. The hot vapor then enters back into the condenser coil where less hot outdoor air flows across the coil, heat is moved outdoors and the refrigerant is adapted back into a sub-cooled liquid. The sub-cooled liquid returns to the indoor evaporator coil by an expansion valve or metering device. This continues repeatedly throughout the process. That accomplishes your physics lesson today…your air conditioner runs on an never-ending loop of science. We realize that it's not as crucial to you how it works, but just the fact it's running. If you'd like to discuss staying cool and comfortable in Pella contact us at 641-628-3621. With the help of our team and science we're going to make it through this sweltering summer. Back To Blog

Where to download Kali Linux and how to verify the integrity of Kali Linux images
It is strongly recommended to download any program from official websites; this will help you avoid getting infected with malicious software.
Linux distributions, including Kali Linux, are not exceptions; so they also need to be downloaded only from official websites. This ensures the absence of Trojan and virus programs, and will also allow you to get the latest software versions.
Where to download the latest version of Kali Linux
Kali Linux is used for penetration testing and forensic examinations. Being a professional penetration tester or forensic expert, you must be absolutely sure of the integrity of your tools. If your tools are not trustworthy, then the results of your research are also not credible.
Even if your standards are not so high, it is still highly recommended to follow the steps described here, since not genuine versions of the software can intentionally or unintentionally cause serious harm.
Download Kali Linux (as well as any other programs) only from official websites. For Kali Linux, the official sites are https://www.kali.org/downloads and https://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-vmware-arm-image-download/
These sites cannot be accessed without the use of SSL, which significantly hampers the man-in-the middle attack, and thus reduces the danger of getting what you do not want to get.
Which Kali Linux Image should I download?
If you are going to install Kali Linux in a virtual machine, then pay attention to the ready images: https://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-vmware-virtualbox-image-download/
However, even for installation in a virtual machine, I prefer to download regular ISO images, as this gives me more options for fine-tuning the system.
ISO images can be used as Live systems, and also can be used as installation media. These images can be downloaded at: https://www.kali.org/downloads/
Kali Linux images divided into 64-bit and 32-bit versions. Kali Linux images differ in the desktop environment. Also there is a lightweight system, with a minimum set of programs - Light. For most modern computers, 64-bit systems are suitable.
If you want the classic look of Kali Linux, the one that is on most screenshots and video on the Internet, then download the image of Kali 64 bit or Kali 32 bit. In this case, you will have GNOME 3 as the desktop environment. If you want a more classic look, then select the version with Mate. If you have a low-power (obsolete) computer, then select e17, Xfce or LXDE.
Kali Linux weekly releases
These images are available at: http://cdimage.kali.org/kali-images/kali-weekly/
A list of checksums for them at: https://archive.kali.org/kali-images/kali-weekly/SHA1SUMS
They are untested. You can occur with issues while using them.
ISO file can be downloaded either by direct link or via torrent. It is recommended to select the download via torrent.
Easy checking the integrity of Kali Linux images
Before running it is strongly recommended to check the integrity of the downloaded file. If the file does not pass the integrity test, then it can not be used.
I'll show you how to check the integrity of the file using the Double Commander.
On the official site, copy the checksum for the file that you downloaded.
In Double Commander, select the downloaded file and go to the Files menu -> Verify checksums … Insert the copied checksum, select SHA2_256 and click OK:
Wait until the end of the operation, if the checksum is correct, then it serves as confirmation of ISO authenticity.

Mediterranean taste!
Grapefruit – Citrus paradisi – Grapefruit is the second most grown fruit in the world. Supposedly it doesn't exist as a wild plant, but a very old hybrid between C.sinensis x C.maxima. Its hight reaches 8-10 meters. The branches are covered in large spikes. The leaves are big, reaching around 10-20cm. The fruits are bright yellow, round with a bittersweet taste, weighting about 150-300 grams and in seldom cases up to 600 grams.
The grapefruit grows twice a year, in the spring and end of summer.
Calamondin – Citrofortunella microcarpa
A hybrid between mandarin (Citrus reticulata) and kumquat (Fortunella japonica)
A rather tiny plant with small dark green leaves. The fruits are round, small – up to 3-4cm in diameter. The peel is very thin, that is why it is not being peeled and the fruit is consumed whole. It blooms and bears fruit at the same time.
Lemon – Citrus lemon
It holds the the third place in the world. One of the middlemen citruses up to 5-7m tall. The leaves are elliptical, light green. The fruit is lemony yellow, oval with a very sour taste. It blooms and bears fruit at the same time. The fruits ripen slow from 7 months to a whole year. There is a huge variety, which differ by shape and size of the fruit, the thickness of the peel and the taste of the inner part. The most appropriate to grow indoors is the lemon "Ponderosa" (Ponderosa Lemon), which is a hybrid between lemon and citron and has a rather small size – up to 1.2m. The fruits however are larger than those of other lemons and can reach up to 1kg. They have a pear shape and thick peel.
Another popular sort is the lemon Meyer a.k.a. chinese lemon. This is a very old sort, people speculate that it is a hybrid between lemon and orange. This is the lowest growing lemon, its height reaches just 1m. and has a very branched and wrapped crown. Its colors have a violet hue. The fruits are middle sized, bright yellow, almost without tips and sweeter than other sorts. Its downside is that requires a lot of light and cannot stand being in a shadow, even in its period of rest.
Citron, chinese lemon – Citrus medica = C.cedratus
This species in Japan is called "yuzu" and it is one of the plants that the japanese people have a specific attitude. There is a custom in Japan in the day of the winter solstice, that people bathe in bathtubs filled with fruits and peel of citrus for health. It was famous in China even before 2000 years, from where the buddhist took it to Japan in VII-VII century. Rather cold resistant sort, which can survive for temperatures up to -7 °C for short amounts of time. In the wild it can be found in the Himalayas, its height reaches up to 2m-3m. The branches have sharp thorns, the leaves are big, about 10m-18m long. The fruit is large, yellow, lemon shaped up to 14cm long. Its taste is very sour and bitter with a very specific aroma. It is not eaten in its raw state, it is used to make juices. The peel of the citron is noticeably thicker than other citruses. A fun fact is that the peel is eatable due to its nice taste and lack of sour vein. One of the most popular sweets in the east, something like candy, were peaces of sugar coated peel from citron. Today it is widely used as a spice.
One of the interesting varieties of the citron "Hand of Buddah" (Citrus medica). This is one of the strangest fruits not just among the citruses, but in the world. The shape resembles a hand with fingers. In the east it is considered a symbol of happiness and success. The fruits are not edible, they are used for decoration.

The Legacy Perspective August 2017
By Steve Wachs, CFP®
"First, no one knows what events are going to transpire. Second, no one knows what the market's reaction to those events will be." Howard Marks, Co-Chairman Oaktree Capital
We started the year saying that the above statement would be our mantra for 2017. So far, this year, nothing has happened in the crazy world in which we live that would change our view.
What we do know so far in 2017 is that the major economies across the world are all expanding for the first time in over 10 years (see the graph below). Thus, it is not surprising that the worldwide equity markets have continued to perform well with many stock indices including the S&P 500 either hitting or approaching new highs.
What we also know is that at some point stocks will decline in value. In the last 50 years, the S&P 500 has declined on average at least 10% every 24 months. The last one of those drops was February 11, 2016, a little over 18 months ago. Does that mean we are "due" for a drop? September is historically the worst month for stock market performance. Maybe the catalyst will be the debate we will witness in Washington next month over raising the debt ceiling. Here is the view of
Kurt Feuerman, CIO with Alliance Bernstein, "It would be imprudent to deny the possibility of a US equity downturn in the coming months. But since equity fundamentals are strong and are supported by improving macroeconomic trends, we think the scale of any corrections is likely to be limited. If investors believe that markets are due for a pullback, that doesn't mean that they should exit their equity positions entirely. But the time is right to take proactive steps that can help to keep you invested through bouts of turbulence, while identifying attractive investment opportunities for an eventual long-term recovery."
Bottom line – we don't know when the decline will happen. That is why we know having your portfolio diversified among different assets types besides stocks is critically important. Most client portfolios have less than 50% allocated to equity managers which reduces (not eliminates) downside risk. We also are in the process of rebalancing portfolios, which is a fancy way to say we are capturing gains from recent equity increases, to make sure your portfolio has not assumed more risk than you may be comfortable with. It also allows us to set aside funds for income distributions you may need over the next 12 months.
We are approaching Labor Day which is always the first Monday in September. According to the Department of Labor, Labor Day "is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country."
Many of us simply think of it as the end of summer and the beginning of football season. However, it is important to keep in mind that it is the productivity of all workers that leads to the economic growth of this country. It will be workers who will help rebuild the homes and businesses impacted by the tragedy of Hurricane Harvey. At a conference I attended earlier this year, a speaker stated that we were confusing all the dysfunction in Washington with what actually makes businesses successful. He said, "no one in Congress ever stayed up all night drinking Red Bull to create an app." Whether it is creating, building, teaching, or serving someone, let's celebrate the workers around the world on this Labor Day.

Titon A.R.C is a Non-Profit Organization that is working hard to rehabilitate and train dogs from various backgrounds, offering them a second chance in a family home or working environment.
There is a dual purpose here – not only are dogs taken out of dire situations and offered a new, loving start, those that simply cannot integrate into a family home are also given a job to do.
Many of the dogs that end up here are of the "power" breeds like American Pitbull Terriers and the likes.
In collaboration with GUDWULFS RESCUE TRUST, our rescued dogs first arrive at the RESCUE AND REHABILITATION center for the necessary vetting and intake such as medical attention, temperament assessments, physical and or psychological rehabilitation needs and safeguarding.
From here, when they are acclimatized and deemed to be ready, a second assessment is made to decide what avenue of our program they will be placed in.
Although our divisions' main aim is to place these rescued dogs in a suitable qualified family home it is not always possible as we rescue severe cases which most other organisations are not equipped, experienced or willing to take in and therefore many of these rescued dogs would not qualify to be in a family environment and would then be placed in the TitonARC TRAINING program where they would receive up to 300 man hours of specialised training in personal protection, tracking or tactical anti/counter-poaching fields.
"Our mission is two fold, we are taking abused and neglected animals, training and conditioning them so they can be safely re-homed or put into a much needed program in society, be it the anti-poaching program or the personal protection program. By this giving the dog meaning of life.
Apart from abused and neglected dogs we will be rescuing various breeds specifically suited to be trained and conditioned for said programs.
Joint organisations which we are involved with, run on a self contained budget. These are the trained operators that go out into the bush to do the tracking and anti-poaching and operate on a minimal budget. Volunteering their time for the love of our animals.
These volunteer anti poaching units do not have the funding, the time or the resources to run a fully equipped and fully established K9 unit. We will handle and provide them with the canines to alleviate the burden of medical, training, housing and financial costs. By this giving them more time in the bush and peace of mind that there are always dogs on the ready to help combat poachers."
– Shane Titon
Titon ARC is collaborating with other organisations to combat dog fighting and abuse. Dogs that have been rescued from the illegal dog fighting scenes will be taken in by us and then mentally and physically rehabilitated to be placed into different sectors of our program that suits the dogs temperament. Other abused and abandoned breeds of dogs will be taken in and go through the same process of rehabilitation, and be placed into the various sectors of our program. Thus providing a safe haven for the future of the dog – be it Re-homing, in the anti poaching program or the personal protection program.
Training Program
There are a few different lines of training a dog maybe placed in, these services are also offered to outside dogs.
From basic socialization to bite-work, outreach and tracking/anti-poaching, most of the dogs that end up staying on for the programs benefit greatly and are able to be placed in working jobs where they serve to protect not only people and businesses, but also endangered wildlife!

text: 1 Samuel 3 1Now the boy Samuel ministered to the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was rare in those days; there was no widespread revelation. 2And it came to pass at that time, while Eli was lying down in his place, and when his eyes had begun to grow so dim that he could not see, 3and before the lamp of God went out in the tabernacle of the LORD where the ark of God was, and while Samuel was lying down, 4that the LORD called Samuel. And he answered, "Here I am!" 5So he ran to Eli and said, "Here I am, for you called me." And he said, "I did not call; lie down again." And he went and lay down. 6Then the LORD called yet again, "Samuel!" So Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, "Here I am, for you called me." He answered, "I did not call, my son; lie down again." 7(Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, nor was the word of the LORD yet revealed to him.) 8And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. So he arose and went to Eli, and said, "Here I am, for you did call me." Then Eli perceived that the LORD had called the boy. 9Therefore Eli said to Samuel, "Go, lie down; and it shall be, if He calls you, that you must say, "Speak, LORD, for Your servant hears."' So Samuel went and lay down in his place. 10Now the LORD came and stood and called as at other times, "Samuel! Samuel!" And Samuel answered, "Speak, for Your servant hears." 11Then the LORD said to Samuel: "Behold, I will do something in Israel at which both ears of everyone who hears it will tingle. 12In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from beginning to end. 13For I have told him that I will judge his house forever for the iniquity which he knows, because his sons made themselves vile, and he did not restrain them. 14And therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be atoned for by sacrifice or offering forever." 15So Samuel lay down until morning, and opened the doors of the house of the LORD. And Samuel was afraid to tell Eli the vision. 16Then Eli called Samuel and said, "Samuel, my son!" He answered, "Here I am." 17And he said, "What is the word that the LORD spoke to you? Please do not hide it from me. God do so to you, and more also, if you hide anything from me of all the things that He said to you." 18Then Samuel told him everything, and hid nothing from him. And he said, "It is the LORD. Let Him do what seems good to Him." 19So Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground. 20And all Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew that Samuel had been established as a prophet of the LORD. 21Then the LORD appeared again in Shiloh. For the LORD revealed Himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.

Hello to all,
Our newsletter today is hopeful and revealing. Pioneering research has been done by Jeff Volek at Ohio State and Dominic D'Agostino at University of South Florida who have studied the keto diet among a population of Navy Seal Divers and ROTC students. Because of the very positive outcomes in these studies the Department of Defense is strongly considering a properly formulated Keto Diet as the base nutritional plan for the military.
Lisa Sanders, director of science and technology at U.S. Special Operations Command reported on the Ohio State research that recommends the switch to a well formulated KETO diet to replace the Standard American Diet which is loaded in poor nutrition, poor carbohydrate choices and insufficient healthy fats.
What is driving the interest in Keto? Increasing obesity as a potential threat to national readiness.
For those of you who are living in harmony with keto principles you know from your personal results that excess weight is easily lost, energy goes up and aches and pains begin disappearing.
The same results were noted in Navy Seal Divers and ROTC students WITHOUT negative side effects. We can only hope that science holds sway in the future as the nutritional health of the military is at stake.
If you too want to be like a Navy Seal Diver please attend our next free workshop on July 13 at The International Wildlife Museum in Tucson. We will discuss the exact eating plan that has been discussed above.
All the best,
Dr Payne
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) now says two earth changing statements for the first time ever!
1. Reducing dietary carbohydrate intake has demonstrated the
best evidence for improving glycemic (blood sugar) control.
2. Low to very low carbohydrate eating plans are a viable
approach. Especially in Type 2 diabetics where reducing diabetes
medications is a priority.
Aseem Malhotra, MD ~ Cardiologist ~ April 24, 2019 at 9:23 PM
The American Diabetes Association has reached a consensus recommendation that for those with Prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes (1 in 3 Americans) low carb is the best option for improving glucose control. As many of you know despite many attacks I along with many inspirational people have advocated and campaigned to get this evidence out since 2013 through a multitude of medical journal articles and newspapers including mainstream media in the US and even gave a talk in the European Parliament last year and the British Parliament several weeks ago. There are many heroes in this space not least Gary Taubes, Nina Teicholz and Prof Tim Noakes but in recent times the one person who really inspired me with the science and
I've cited his work many times is biochemist Richard David Feinman!
Now the real challenge is to ensure the science is being translated into clinical practice so ALL patients with Type 2 or Prediabetes can benefit.
Douglas Payne ~ April 25, 2019
I think this announcement was made, due in part, to a major law suit that awarded a diabetic plaintiff perhaps the biggest settlement against the ADA in history. Now affirmed by the Supreme Court in 2018. the case known as Banting vs ADA was lost by the ADA as they were found negligent as an organization for not informing Banting that he had the option of a low carb diet as a viable therapy for his Type 2 diabetes.
As a result of complications of diabetes this young man lost his foot to surgery.
The shocking development in this case was that the young man completely cured the diabetes after his foot was amputated by finding a physician who recommended a low carb diet that completely restored his health, but of course missing a foot. The court held, as it has many times in the past, that physicians have the duty to inform the patient of all treatment options available to them. To avoid a future malpractice claim all physicians are now on notice that low carbohydrate dietary habit is viable,
proven and helpful to many.
Failure to inform is a serious legal tenet that must be acknowledged.
Clinically, this is not news to the many, many diabetes patients who have already reduced or eliminated their diabetes medications by following a low carb eating habit. The Ketogenic Therapeutic Diet is the premier low carb approach.
What say those clinicians now, who in a clinical setting, do not at least recommend the option of a low carb diet. If they want to say they are in harmony with ADA guidelines they must divulge this new information to their patients. For those of you who need to have this discussion with your physician
please take along a copy of this news release to your next visit.
For those clinicians who want to get up to date in their clinical skills I highly recommend the biochemistry book "The World Turned Upside Down"
by Professor Richard David Feinman Ph.D.
For those working in the diabetes field, whether physician or dietician there is no longer any where to hide. The ADA and the National Food Guidelines are
changed and will continue to change moving forward.
Hello to all,
Our newsletter today is eye-opening. The headline is self-explanatory. Those of you who have adopted KETO principles in your life know from first hand experience that the "recommended diets" of the last 40 years that dogmatically pounded low calorie, low fat and high carb high exercise have been an utter failure. The entire food pyramid approach to weight control and better health was never based on actual science but rather on unscientific marketing that resulted in a 70% overweight/obesity rate and a 40% prediabetes/diabetes rate nationally.
Utter corruption, greed and hucksterism. A national disgrace.
KETO principles are succeeding world wide because they work.
We see all around us our neighbors, friends, family and workmates regaining their health when they eat and live in harmony with their actual genetics and biochemistry. We see it with our own eyes as we observe others.
It is a true grassroots success.
Will Weight Watchers do the scientifically honest thing and admit failure in the light of national obesity statistics. Apparently not,
their CEO said "they were not going to change their strategy" and "we know we are the program that works".
Furthering, of course, profit and corruption and harm to many people.
It is my personal belief that Oprah has "gone KETO" by switching from her famous saying "I love bread"
to eating plenty of KETO-friendly crow.
All the best,
Dr Payne
What we know........
Lived for 10,000 years with virtually no carbohydrate in their diet. Lived on an average 80% fat diet.
Lived to very old ages without significant metabolic diseases that plague modern man.
Virtually no coronary vessel disease upon autopsy in the early 1950's.
These photos of beautiful, healthy, thin, intelligent and tough people were taken before the Canada Food Guide tried to "save them". The food guide ( in the USA known as the food pyramid high carb low fat diet introduced in 1971) has turned out to be devastating for the Inuit culture as evidenced by their current state of poor metabolic health, obesity, diabetes and heart disease.
The ultimate description of a strongly ketogenic culture is contained in close observation of these photos.
~ What do you see as you view the photographs ?
~ Have you been harmed by the food pyramid ?
All the best,
Dr Payne
Hello to all.
Our newsletter today is in regard to the following post from Helen Barnard from one year ago. Thanks Helen for your kind thoughts about our book "Understanding the Ketogenic Therapeutic Diet". We intended to make the book the easiest to understand of any "keto book" ever written. Based on our feedback over the years from professionals and the public alike we believe that we have achieved that goal. The format and writing style of the book is by far the most unique in the keto world.
We have now just published the 8th edition of the book.
Although the basic biochemistry of human nutrition has not changed nor will ever change, the underlying understanding of our readers has expanded greatly. Our audience is now much more sophisticated than in years gone by due to the explosion of world wide interest in keto principles.
We have now included a much deeper understanding of inflammation, cell wall structure, advanced understanding of the role of cholesterol and saturated fat in our diet and physiology. National governing bodies and major universities are drastically changing their view and acceptance of a lower carb higher fat diet as critical to our health.
All the best to you as you continue your quest to obtain the best possible understanding of what is required to achieve good health.
Dr Payne
January 31, 2018
"Your new book, Understanding the Ketogenic Therapeutic Diet, is amazing!
Both the beautiful artwork and the way the information is presented,
make the information just pop off the pages!
Thank you so much for all you do to continue researching
and to continue teaching all of us to make us all healthier!"

6 Tips for Saving Money on Gas
Filling at the pump is often painful, even when gas prices are low. Saving money on this vital expense, whether you're a new driver or someone who has been commuting half an hour or more to work for years, can change your budget--and these easy tips can help make it easier to get the savings you need each time you fill up.
1. Keep up with maintenance on your car.
Regular car maintenance, from tuning your engine to keeping your tires properly inflated, can make a big difference in how much gas your car is burning with each drive you take. While you don't have to listen to every suggestion made by the mechanic when you get your oil changed, it's important to be sure that your car is well-maintained if you want to save money on your gas.
2. Ease off on the speed.
When you push your car over 65 miles per hour, your fuel economy can decrease by as much as 15%. That means that you're making a big dent in your gas tank for comparatively small gains in speed. Instead, ease off on that speed and take your time getting to your destination. Your wallet will thank you!
3. Drive safely.
When you drive aggressively--flooring the gas pedal instead of increasing speed gradually; slamming on your brakes at the last moment instead of allowing your car to come to a more reasonable stop--you burn gas at a faster rate than you do when you're driving safely. Practicing safe driving is one of the best way to help save money at the gas tank.
4. Streamline your car.
Plenty of little things can add up when it comes to added wind resistance--and as a result, you may see your gas mileage changing. Make sure that you aren't keeping a roof rack installed when you don't need it or driving around town with your bike attached to the back of your car when you aren't planning to use it. A streamlined vehicle gets much better gas mileage than one that is bulky and won't flow smoothly through the streets. While you're at it, clean out your car! If you're carrying a lot of unnecessary extra weight, you're decreasing your car's gas mileage.
5. Take fewer trips.
The best way to save your gas, simply put, is to avoid using it! For example, if you're running into town for just two or three items at one store, you're burning gas along the way. Instead, when possible, try to stack trips together in order to decrease the amount of time you're spending on the road. Go by the bank the same day you buy your groceries or pick up your dry cleaning on your way to pick up those last few items you need for a road trip. Avoid making trips to the grocery store every day; instead, shop once or twice a week. You'll quickly discover that the fewer miles you have to drive, the more you're able to save in gas!
6. Avoid idling.
Sure, you can't prevent idling when you're in traffic. When you're getting in your car to head out for the morning or waiting for someone to join you in your vehicle, however, make sure you aren't letting your car idle unnecessarily. Instead, turn it off! There's no need to waste gas when you aren't going anywhere.
Even with gas prices creeping lower than usual this summer, you still want to be sure that you're getting the best possible gas mileage for your car. These simple tips will allow you to maximize your fuel economy and make the most of every gallon, freeing up your gas budget for other, more important things.

Doubtful that our Canadian audience will ever need an APC, but we have to admit, this is one cool APC.
The INKAS Huron has a 8.3-litre Paccar engine and a ten speed Allison transmission. It's armour, which covers both the passenger compartment and engine bay, is designed to withstand anything up to 7.62×51 SC ammunition, 7.62×51 M80 NATO ball ammunition, and is tested to meet NIJ-STD-0108.01 level III / CEN level B6 ballistic standards. Worried more about explosions? Well, the floor is fitted with blast protection to defend against fragmentation from 2 DM-51 German ordinance hand grenades or equivalent.
Again, we'll never need one. But it's nice to know the option exists in case the Cola Wars ever devastate Canada again.

The Lions Health Screening Unit
King 5 TV covers the launch of the new LHSU.
Watch the report now »
Lions of Multiple District 19 and the Northwest Lions Foundation received high public praise for our sight and hearing service recently when the popular television show King 5 Evening Magazine covered the debut of our new Lions Health Screening Unit.
A Nielsen-estimated 61,000 viewers tuned in as host Meeghan Black and crew covered the unit's debut at Shoreline Christian School on Friday, March 11, 2011. Meeghan's report includes an interview with Red and Beverly Bingham, who donated the brand new Kenworth tractor that pulls the new trailer in style. The broadcast also includes kind words from Meeghan and Evening Magazine for the Lions volunteers who staff the LHSU at schools throughout Washington and Northern Idaho.
P.S. Thank you to the Lake City Lions for hosting the LHSU on its big day and staffing it with able volunteers!
The Lions Health Screening Unit
The 62-foot-long, medically-equipped Lions Health Screening Unit (LHSU) travels throughout Washington and Northern Idaho to give free health screenings at schools, fairs, and other public events. Checking for glaucoma, diabetes, high blood pressure, and sight and hearing loss is key to interventions in potentially life-threatening health problems.
This year, the Lions Health Screening Unit will provide free screening for an estimated 30,000 patients, the vast majority of whom will be children. The Foundation's annual cost to operate the Lions Health Screening Unit is more than $170,000. As more and more children and adults come to depend on these screenings, we would greatly appreciate your financial support.

As marketers know, our world can change with the click of a mouse. How do we stay ahead of the curve to maximize our results? A little friendly competition never hurt, right? Enter the world of Gamification where we take advantage of the consumers' desires to win and be rewarded.
- What is Gamification?
- How do we incorporate it into our marketing strategy?
- Will it work internally?
What is Gamification?
Anytime you give someone a title, badge or points, you're rewarding them. These gaming elements motivate individuals to achieve things they didn't know they wanted. Businesses that embrace gamification benefit from getting users excited about participating in their business. FitBit could credit its success in the wearables category to how well it used gaming elements as the foundation of its app. For example, the more steps you take, the more badges you earn. It turns steps into badges, like a pleasant surprise gift and you won't know how to earn them until they happen. FitBit tracks and rewards you for both steps in a day and steps over the lifetime of using the app.
Frequent flyer miles are one of the oldest examples of gamification before digital, also known as loyalty programs. Airlines have been using these as part of their customer loyalty strategy for years. The more you fly with one airline, the more points you earn. Gamification has been able to take traditional loyalty programs and bring them directly to users in a digital environment, without the need to wait for a monthly statement to find out if you've earned rewards.
Uber, the popular driving service, notifies drivers when they've hit a certain number of rides. When a driver does a ride to the airport, they get a notification congratulating them on their first airport ride. These small digital high-fives make people feel good about what they're doing. Uber, like traditional loyalty programs, uses a mixture of these gamification techniques and tangible rewards. In addition to your pat on the back for completing 20 trips in one day or trips, you're given a fuel card discount when you complete 70 trips per month.
and apps have made gamification easier to implement because it doesn't require a business to structure a loyalty program and dish out actual rewards. FitBit doesn't have to send you coupons or mail you a certificate to make it enjoyable to use the app. In fact, there's a good chance you've participated in a modern day gamification strategy without even realizing it. Xbox developed a simple way for game and Xbox app developers to build gamification into their strategy. Users can unlock various achievements on games like Call of Duty for passing certain levels, or on streaming services like Netflix after binge watching for more than three episodes. You'll get a trophy for renting a movie from the Xbox Live Movie app, or for downloading a new game. Microsoft calls its trophies-system "achievements" and describes it as follows:
"Achievements are rewards for completing special activities in a game. The actions required to earn an achievement vary from title to title and are limited only by the developer's creativity. Completing achievements gamerscore and potentially other rewards."
They take it one step farther and give users the ability to turn their achievements into Xbox Live Rewards.
"Join Xbox Live Rewards to get access to exclusive offers and Rewards. You can get rewarded for completing missions, taking surveys, spending in the Xbox Store, and more. Turn your dedication into dollars. You'll earn Rewards Credits that get converted into your country's local currency and deposited into your Microsoft account."
From online quizzes to social contests, it's nearly impossible to scroll through your newsfeed without feeling compelled to participate in some form of social gamification. So, how do digital marketers incorporate gamification into our overall strategy? As always, we evolve.
Evolve Your Content Strategy
As the digital world evolves, it always puts user experience at the forefront and so should your content marketing strategy. A simple blog might engage several users, but how do we get those users to share it with their friends? To turn digital marketing content, like a blog, into a great user experience, try motivating and rewarding your readers.
Step 1. Motivate
Motivate your user by first surprising them with a trophy, award, ribbon, badge or notification commending them on some action they've taken. With so many other businesses vying for individuals attention, it's easy to make them feel special by simply acknowledging them. Think of simple activities that users do on your website or app. Determine what constitutes a normal amount of activity, then set your first incentive at that level and entice them with the next one. Create fun titles and badges to help quantify their achievements.
Let's say you're a service provider but you have helpful videos and educational blogs. These are important to your bottom line, because if someone can learn online, it is one fewer call into the call center. So, someone is on your website and they've read three blogs. Congratulate them on furthering their education about your service. Use a pop-up to alert them and tell them what's next, and that they're on their way to being a Super Reader after reading ten blogs.
Perhaps you're a fashion retailer or own a small boutique store. Reward people with various shopper badges on their profile . Make it fun, give it personality and make sure your gamification speaks with a unique voice that appeals to your audience.
- Congrats, you've reached accessory diva status, you've purchased over $100 in jewelry, and other accessories!
- Welcome to the runway wardrobe stylist, you've officially styled and purchased 5 full outfits!
- Shoe Crazy? You've earned the Shoe Shopaholic Badge for rockin' over 3 pairs of our amazing high heels.
Step 2. Reward
Without rewards or accolades, people will still purchase from you, but a little gamification goes a long way in making people feel good about reaching the "next level." Offering rewards to active users helps strengthen loyalty and brand relationships. Discounts, badges, certificates and simple recognition can provide enough motivation for people to choose your business over others. Users have a vested self-interest in reaching a status that you offer and competitors don't.
Gamification Tips
UX Comes First.
If your game is poorly implemented, the results will go from positive to negative. Take the time to research, create and test your game before introducing it into your strategy.
Set Marketing Goals.
Without a clear goal for your gamification strategy, you won't truly capitalize on what you could gain from your user. Is your goal to make people laugh? Is your goal to let people know you appreciate their business? These two goals would result in very different gamification strategies, so make sure your digital team is on the same page about how gamification will further your business goals.
Jump on Real-Time Opportunities.
Users want to feel like they are involved in the big events happening in their lives. Anytime a brand can align itself with a larger event while staying relevant to its marketing strategy, it should. In the retail example earlier in this post, the store owner would benefit from planning a special gamification aspect around New York Fashion week. Sports retailers could build excitement by integrating Olympic-style badges into their gamification strategy, and news based services could leverage the political season by integrating presidential race themed gamification elements into their strategy. Just this past Fourth of July weekend, Uber did something as simple as put American flag icons on top of all their Uber driver cars within the app interface. This simple update for the holiday weekend played into people's excitement over the 4th and made it more fun to use the app.
Remember, people shop, buy and choose brands because of how it makes them feel. It's not really about what you want or what you think is most important. The consumer wants to have fun and enjoy themselves and for the right kinds of businesses, gamification is a strong strategy that works. People aren't as rational as you'd think, and when it comes down to it, people love to win; so give them a chance to win with gamification.
