Civil Rights
Block on Trump's Asylum Ban Upheld by Supreme Court
When people ask me what first year of law school is like, I answer without hesitation: boot camp. I haven't been in the military, but I've heard enough about it (and seen enough movies) to know that it's no fun -- and neither is being a 1L.
Though preparing for what are two different objectives, here are five reasons why being a 1L is like being in boot camp ...
When you go to law school, you're not learning job skills per se, you're learning a new way of thinking. Your brain will be harnessed to issue spot, think in terms of cause and effect and become best friends with the "reasonable person." It may take a few months in, but you will soon not be able to have conversations with non-lawyers without interrupting and saying "that's not the question I asked you."
Hand-in-hand with lawyerly indoctrination is the learning of a new language -- legalese. After finishing law school, I realized that what you really get out of having a JD is fluency in the new vocabulary of law. You don't learn how to be a lawyer, but you learn the language so that you can learn to be a lawyer at your job.
Each day is very repetitive -- and also has similarities to grade school, as well as the aforementioned boot came. You have the same classes every day with the same people. Each day looks about the same: get up, go to class, go to the library, go home, scale the wall, run 10 miles in the rain. Rinse and repeat.
Your entire class is split into "sections" and you have all your classes with the people in your section. Not only that, but you're working so hard at keeping up with school work you should tell your friends and family you'll see them in June after final exams.
Be prepared to be deprived -- of pretty much everything: your social life, your love life, free time, hobbies. The one thing you will not be deprived of is reading. (Editor's note: Don't read your text books right up until you go to sleep. Read something else for a few minutes before lights out. If you don't, you'll dream about law. Not fun.)
It may seem like the first year of law school is really tough -- and it is. But making the sacrifices to get the great grades first year will make the rest of your time at law school that much easier. Wait until second year to be "at ease."

Early Years
Freshmen and sophomore years in high school are seen more as a time for learning, growing, developing new hobbies and interests, fitting into activities and more. There is less pressure from school counselors and parents during these early years.
High School Juniors
Along with parents and school counselors, high school juniors can begin to determine interests for further study; start to research college aid program availabilities for the year of college entry; and start saving money for college expenses. US News offers suggestions from educators for high school juniors. Some of the tips include:
High School Seniors
By the time senior year comes into play, many universities are making final decisions on scholarships, grants and other forms of financial aid before a senior's spring semester even begins.
The choices are great when it comes to a college education. The impact of a high schooler's choices are even more important in the process. Understanding the necessary steps to achieve your goals will open up a brand new world of adventure and learning ahead.

Fitz and the Fool

Tawny Man Trilogy
Robin Hobb's San Diego Comic Con autographing sessions are always very popular affairs, and none more so than at this year's event. Fans of Farseer, Fitz and the Fool, and other series by Hobb skipped panels and flashy, eye-grabbing special events in favor of lining up for a chance to meet their favorite author and score a signed book. Despite Hobb's many obligations at the con, she was still able to spare some time to talk with us about her novels and what writing has taught her about the world.
PENGUIN RANDOM HOUSE: Despite having a society in which we fear sudden violence, we seem to be fascinated with assassins. Why is that?
Robin Hobb: I don't think it's just assassins. It's our superheroes, and anyone else who settles things with a quick act of violence. I think that there is buried in each one of us the wish that we could make our problems go away quickly with simply a bullet or blow to the head, or any number of violent reactions. Sadly, most of us are reduced to writing endless letters, or trying to persuade people, or working through piles of paperwork in order to solve the problems we wish we could dispose of with a little more direct action.
PRH: I think it's probably for the best since we're talking about bludgeoning people on the head, right?
RH: For the most part. I make just a few exceptions to that!
PRH: You've gotten to know your characters by now, but do they still surprise you on occasion?
RH: Over the course of more than 20 years, I've gotten to know them. I think that for most writers what happens is that you're writing along, you're following your outline, you know what's going to happen, and suddenly the character folds his arms and says, "That's completely out of character for me. I'm not doing that." That's one of the surprises, because you'll suddenly look around and say, "If he doesn't do that, then she doesn't do this, and that doesn't happen." It's like dominos falling. When you realize is you've got your character moving in a way that is out of character, the writer has to stop and give way to the current of the story and what the character would actually do. Sometimes, it takes the book into unexpected directions.
PRH: People don't necessarily know this, but huge revisions do happen, right?
RH: I've done revisions on every book I've ever written. Terry Brooks and I were recently comparing notes, and we said that on our most recent books we've worked harder and done more revisions than any of the previous ones. He said, "Yeah, that's a trend we've got to stop!" The further on in my career that I go, especially because I'm working with editors with whom I have worked for years, you realize that input is extremely valuable. You ignore it at your own peril. The ability to stop and say, "Let me rethink that scene" is one of the most important tools a writer can have in his or her toolbox.
PRH: When you get used to thinking about these kind of things — events that influence other events, that chain of circumstances, and why people do the things they do — does it change the way you interact with the world around you?
RH: To some extent, I think that as writers we are constantly putting ourselves into someone else's shoes, especially if you're writing about a villain or simply a different kind of character — someone you don't necessarily agree with, or has different politics or attitudes — you really begin to understand that it's hard to take an absolute stance on anything. I can see not just both sides of an argument, but every side on a political debate or family discussion on how we should allocate resources, and in some ways I think it make me more thoughtful.
PRH: What does it take for other people to become more thoughtful? What are some of the hard-earned lessons you've learned over the years?
RH: I think that's something we're seeing a lot of people talk about on the internet right now. Cultivate the ability to tolerate other people's opinions that differ from your own. I have never met anyone with whom I could not find some common ground, agree with them somewhere, and have a conversation that wasn't about the things over which we were butting heads. Once you start building communication, it may be that you never resolve the differences that you have but you will still walk away understanding why that person has those opinions. I think that if we could all take a breath and realize that our first reaction doesn't have to be shouting the other person down, and instead ask "Why do you think that way?" then we would have a much more tolerant and interesting world.

In this report, the first in a series of three in which the world's top 40 nonwovens producers are profiled, Karen Bitz provides the latest information and analysis about the activities of the world's leading ten producers of nonwovens. For many of these players, sales have declined or remained static due to factors such as pricing pressures. Despite these challenges, however, several companies have made significant investments which are expected to benefit sales in the future. TWE Group, for example, has made a series of acquisitions while Berry Plastics (formerly Avintiv) has invested in a new carding line and a new spunmelt line. Fitesa has installed four new lines and is expected to complete the installation of a fifth line by 2019, and Glatfelter expects to complete a new line later in 2017. Also, Suominen has almost finished installing a huge wet-laid nonwovens line which represents the largest single investment in the company's history. Other companies are focusing on advancing in specific product sectors. For example, Freudenberg Performance Materials is concentrating on filtration and on building and construction while Kimberly-Clark's Partnership Products business is focusing on filtration, sorbents and wipes. There are also some ongoing transformations as DuPont prepares to merge with The Dow Chemical Company while Ahlstrom is merged into Munksjö.

"Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort."
— Paul J. Meyer
What we do today is what we will be tomorrow, so what we choose to do has always a critical role in our life, and affects our future. So, we can choose to give ourselves the gift of enjoying tomorrow everything we are working for, or to leave ourselves with nothing, destined to regret what we don't feel like doing today.Here's a nice infographic representing 2 typical profiles – the productive individual, also known as productive panda, and the procrastinator, also known as lethargic panda – with all the related behaviors and attitudes.
In other words, you will find a list of good behaviors to imitate, that can help you be more efficient and successful, and a black list of wrong behaviors to avoid.
Enjoy it!

Have you or a family member been told that it's time for an EKG test and you now want to acquire more information about this life-saving test? If so, you're not alone. Countless patients wonder what happens during an EKG test and what it's primarily used for. Keep reading so you'll get the answers to your questions.
An EKG test is a medical diagnostic test that is used to check the health of your heart. The acronym EKG stands for the word electrocardiogram. You'll hear this test referred to in both its abbreviated form and its lengthier description – although it may sometimes be referred to as an ECG. In any event, the test is used to test general heart status and also to detect heart abnormalities like heart rhythm abnormalities.
What the Medical Professionals Are Looking For
After your EKG, medical staff will use the information to assess:
As mentioned earlier, an EKG check is one way to track your heart's health by monitoring its rhythm – otherwise known as its electrical activity. This test is designed to track and record the electric impulses of the heart muscle which in turn tracks the heart rate and rhythm of this vital organ by producing an image that can be assessed by a medical professional to determine if the activity is normal or if further testing is needed.
Although advances in medical testing are being made every day which could in fact change the landscape of EKG testing, the process as it stands today consists of patients performing some form of mild to moderate physical activity – like walking on a treadmill or peddling a stationary bike – after electrodes have been attached to up to 10 small areas of your body to chart your heart's electrical activity during the physical exertion. There's no need to worry about over-exertion since medical staff are present and this portion of testing typically lasts no more than a few minutes.

AG's office releases supplemental report into officer-involved shooting
Report: Manchester officers justified in firing their weapons
In a supplemental report, the attorney general's office confirmed three Manchester police officers were justified in firing their weapons at a driver who led police on a chase, nearly hitting civilians and emergency personnel.
The pursuit of Christopher Varagianis, 37, of Pembroke, began about 6 p.m. on June 3 with a report of a man unconscious in a vehicle in a parking lot.
When two bicycle officers arrived, the man drove off and refused their orders to pull over.
Other officers joined the chase and two police vehicles finally cornered the driver of the Jeep Commander in a parking lot on Merrimack Street. One police car blocked the exit to the parking lot while another drove toward Varagianis, who rammed his car into the front of the police car driven by Detective Mike Lavallee, a previous report said.
Sgt. Joe Mucci and Detective Mike Bergeron approached the Jeep on foot and ordered Varagianis to get out of the vehicle, which he refused to do. Mucci fired at the Jeep's tires, deflating one, according to the report. Varagianis then maneuvered his vehicle around the police car at which time Lavallee fired three times at the vehicle, aiming low because there was an apartment building beyond the Jeep, police said.
Varagianis continued to drive onto Merrimack Street until other police officers converged on the Jeep.
Despite sustaining two gunshot wounds to the leg, Varagianis refused to get out of the Jeep and had to be dragged out of the vehicle. Police used a stun gun on Varagianis to get him to stop struggling so they could handcuff him, according to authorities.
The attorney general said police found a pipe and spoon containing crack cocaine and heroin in the Jeep.
At the time of the incident, the AG's office released a similar report, but said there were criminal charges pending. Over the last year, all of the investigative reports have been reviewed and those charges have been resolved.
Varagianis has since apologized and pleaded guilty to several charges, and he was sentenced to 10 to 28 years in prison.

The authors surveyed 211 foreign correspondents based in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The journalists were, besides demographic information, asked whether some common preconceptions of their work were true or not. For example, they were asked if they felt professional foreign correspondents were being replaced by amateurs (they did not). Out of the studied claims only three rang mostly true to the respondents: increasing time pressures, deteriorating working conditions and diminishing journalistic resources. The occupation of foreign correspondence is thus relatively stable, the authors conclude. It is noted, however, that a minority of the respondents perceived more changes than the majority, suggesting a limited stratification within the occupation. The article Diverging worlds of foreign correspondence was published by the journal Journalism. It is available online (abstract free). Picture: Untitled by Skitterphoto, licence CC0 1.0.

Crab Research Shows Impact of Fisheries in our Territories
Our Nations have completed the first major study of Dungeness crab on the central coast and the results are clear: commercial and recreational fishing can have a negative impact on crab populations and our food fisheries. The study also demonstrated our Nation's capacity to enforce protective measures under indigenous law when resources in our territories are under strain and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) fails to act.
Crab is an important traditional food for all our communities, and our people are concerned about the sustainability of the stocks. As fishing pressure has increased across the central coast, our people have found it more difficult to catch crab for Food, Social and Ceremonial (FSC) purposes.
"In recent years we've noticed commercial crab fishers coming into our territory on top of a heavy recreational and food fishery, says Nuxalk Guardian Watchmen Ernie Talio. "We think it's important to scientifically gage the impact of all that fishing pressure on the crab populations."
Applying indigenous laws to support science
Under the direction of CCIRA's Science Coordinator Alejandro Frid, our Nations initiated a research project aimed at assessing the impact of recreational and commercial fishing on Dungeness crab within our territories. As the first scientific research project of its kind on the central coast, this project also fills a gap in the scientific knowledge of crab in this region that has not been addressed by DFO research.
The project involved 10 sites open to recreational and commercial fishing and 10 sites designated as experimental crab fishing closures under indigenous law. Closed sites were determined by our community's marine planning processes and focused on areas of particular importance to our FSC fisheries. Unfortunately, the DFO chose not to recognize or enforce these closures.
Accordingly, our Watchmen took matters into their own hands by monitoring the closures and educating fishers about crab declines and our research. When Watchmen asked fishers to voluntarily pull their traps, most complied.
Adult male crabs became larger and more plentiful at the sites that were closed to recreational and commercial crab fishing.
The study examined two classes of crabs: those that are legally fished (adult males over 154 mm across) and those that are not (females and juvenile males).
The results published in Global Ecology and Conservation revealed that, legal-size adult male crabs became larger and more plentiful at the sites that were closed to recreational and commercial crab fishing. By comparison, the number and size of adult male crabs declined at open sites. These findings confirm that the experimental closures reduced mortality of legal-size males from fishing, but also gave them a chance to bounce back.
"These results are consistent with other studies showing that marine sanctuaries free from fishing can help populations recover," writes Alejandro. This work illustrates why implementing the spatial plans we created during the MaPP process – and creating new marine protected areas – can help contribute to the long-term sustainability of marine resources in our territories.
"long-term conservation solutions require collaboration in research and management between federal and indigenous governments to be successful." — Alejandro Frid, CCIRA Science Coordinator.
Conservation requires greater collaboration
By creating effective spatial closures for research this project has also illustrated the importance of traditional knowledge and the use of indigenous laws for conservation.
However, the long-term knowledge held by our hereditary chiefs and other elders exceeds scientific data sets for numerous other resources as well. When deemed necessary by hereditary chiefs, applying indigenous laws to protect resources can be an effective tool for many modern marine conservation issues. However, to achieve our resource management goals our Nations need greater buy-in from the upper levels of government agencies like DFO.
Applying indigenous laws to protect resources can be an effective tool for many modern marine conservation issues.
"Long-term conservation solutions require collaboration in research and management between federal and indigenous governments to be successful," writes Alejandro. For this particular project, DFO scientists, Jason Dunham and Zane Zhang, generously leant their time and expertise to advise on the study design and analysis. We are hopeful that Canada's new federal government will enhance collaboration with our Nations at a larger scale and begin to integrate indigenous laws into co-management of fisheries within our territories.

Thank you so much. I would recommend your company to absolutely everyone in need of help. You always asked questions to ensure proper performance.
We put our trust in Morningside to place us with a nanny that was perfect for our family's needs and Morningside delivered.
I liked the fact that you screened the candidates before sending them to us, rather than sending the candidate to me before I knew anything about them, like happened with (name withheld), your competition.
It's been a dream to work with Morningside, the caliber of nannies was definitely apparent.
Quality of applicants was way above what we had hoped for. Thoroughly enjoyed working with your agency – we will highly recommend you to friends.
I just wanted to let you know that Elizabeth is fantastic! She is great with the boys, and so helpful with such a calm and pleasant way of being. We are so happy with her.
I described the person I wanted and that's what you found for me. Thank you.
Morningside Nannies only sent me nannies that fit my needs. I felt that I wasn't sent the resume of everyone on file.
As a new mom I was nervous about hiring a nanny, but now I couldn't be more pleased. I've sung your praises to everyone I know.
Objective and professional with an obvious personal touch, small but important comments about each person.
Named after St. Thomas Aquinas, University of St. Thomas is a private Catholic liberal arts university founded by Basilian Fathers in 1947. The University has the distinction of being the only Catholic university in the Archdioceses of Galveston-Houston, and has established itself as a venerable Houston landmark over time. The University of St. Thomas is north of the Museum Districts in the Neartown area, and its offices are largely comprised of repurposed 1930's-era homes, some of which are historic landmarks themselves. Link-Lee House, which was once the largest home in all of Houston, currently houses the executive office, while the Theology department has set up shop in Hughes House, the childhood home of Howard Hughes.
The Chapel of St. Basil serves as the primary place of worship on the University of St. Thomas campus and is categorized as a satellite chapel of St. Anne's Catholic Church by the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston. The structure has received numerous awards for its architectural design, and is named after a fourth-century bishop, St. Basil the Great, who advocated both the monastic life and education.
University of St. Thomas' colors are red and gold, with a corresponding seal bearing the words "crescamus in Christo."
While there are a variety of music education programs and performances held regularly on campus, there is no official Alma Mater song of University of St. Thomas.
In 2007, The University of St. Thomas selected a new mascot to reflect the changes that have led the mascot name to evolve from the Saints, to the Fightin' Celts, which later became simply known as the Celts. To represent the Celts, they chose a lion adapted from the Scottish royal coat of arms. According to the University's president Robert Ivany, "the mascot logo will complement our University brand of the shining star and the official University seal."
A population of 1,750 traditional undergraduate students and 1,496 graduate students is maintained by the University of St. Thomas, a total that does not take into account the number of non-traditional, study-abroad, off campus and seminary students. An estimated 54% of the students are of African-American, Hispanic, Asian/Pacific Islander or Native American descent. The United States Department of Education has recognized the University of St. Thomas as the only private Hispanic-serving institution of higher education in Houston due to the fact that they've maintained a student body made up of at least 25% Hispanic students. Of the enrolled students, 65% are of the Catholic faith.
The University of St. Thomas offers undergraduate Education, Music Education, and Psychology programs, along with a Master of Education program that emphasize working directly with children. There are also post-graduate certification programs in place for hopeful school counselors, educational diagnosticians, principals and reading specialists. Hybrid master's degree programs allow students to complete their master's through a mixture of traditional, face-to-face classes and online instruction. The University of St. Thomas School of Education is approved by the Texas Education Agency and the Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors, and holds memberships in the Teacher Education Accreditation Council and the American Association of Colleges for Teachers.

The strong culture of morality and an ethical code of honor, along with the prestigious education programs, make University of St. Thomas a great source for student childcare providers. Because of this, we actively recruit among the student body. We also understand that class schedules will affect each applicant's availability, which is why we carefully match the schedule of each student childcare provider against potential matches in order to ensure that scheduling conflicts arise as seldom as possible. We also take your parenting style, disciplinary philosophies and individual household needs into account when we match your family with a childcare provider to ensure the most successful match possible. This decreases the chances of premature turnover, creating an environment that fosters a positive working relationship with minimal disputes.
Leaving your children, home and personal belongings in someone else's hands, especially those of a relative stranger, can be a scary prospect. That's why we carefully screen each individual applicant with an exhaustive process that includes prior employment verification, criminal background searches and combing through driving records to uncover any driving-related offenses or moving violations. We also check the National Sex Offender Registry, offering you the peace of mind that comes with knowing that your childcare provider has been screened thoroughly. We'll also extend our comprehensive screening and background services to clients that have selected a nanny through other avenues; even if your childcare provider wasn't recommended by us, we'll make sure that they're a safe and reliable choice to care for your children and look after your home in your absence.

On 17 November at noon time in Rome, it was made public that Holy Father accepted a resignation submitted by Bishop Peter Toshio Jinushi of Sapporo on reaching age limit. Bishops have to submit a resignation when we reach 75 years old. Most of the cases, announcement of retirement comes with announcement of his successor. Unfortunately there was no such announcement for Bishop Jinushi's successor this time. Therefore, Bishop's see of Sapporo has been vacant since 17 November. To take care of the daily business of Sapporo diocese, Holy Father appointed me as the Apostolic Administrator "SEDE VACANTE ET AD NUTUM SANCTAE SEDIS" of Sapporo diocese. So I will be in charge of Sapporo till a new bishop will be appointed for Sapporo diocese. Of course, I remain as a bishop of Niigata, however since I may have to visit Sapporo quite often, I may have to reduce my work in Niigata for sometime, one year or two? Please pray for quick appointment of a new bishop for Sapporo and also kindly remember me in your prayer. (Photo above. A statue of Jesus in Takatori Catholic Church in Kobe.

The 15th Korea-Japan Bishops Exchange meeting
Catholic Bishops Conference both from Korea and Japan, as neighbouring conferences, have been holding regular meeting in one of either country once a year by this time of the year since 1995. So the 15th meeting between Catholic Bishops of Korea and Japan was held in Osaka from 17 to 20 November which was attended by 14 bishops from Korea and 17 from Japan. The main topic of this year's meeting was to lean from life history of late Cardinal Kim of Soul who passed away in February this year. Bishop Kang U-il, bishop of Cheju and the president of the Korean Bishops Conference, who had been an auxiliary bishop for Cardinal Kim for long time gave us a talk on late cardinal's life. We also had a chance to watch a DVD presentation on his life history.
The group was divided to 3 after the talk and lunch with priests of Osaka to visit 3 different areas in Osaka to learn about reality and history of this area. I joined a group which went to Kobe to learn about severe earthquake in 1995 and visited Takatori Catholic Church which was burnt down with all other houses in the affected area after the quake. There we met those who are working for various NGOs and also visited FM YY (Wai Wai) which has been providing local information in many languages since the quake time so that foreign residents in the area are not left behind. After the study session, we also had wonderful diner in one of the local cuisine to enjoy OKONOMIYAKI, a local Japanese pancake.
After the serious meeting, we also had fun of visiting AWAJI island. My biggest surprise was the Otsuka Museum where they reproduced the Sistine Chapel precisely in size and colour. They have special technique to reproduce art on ceramic tiles. They are not just a copy but a work of art by itself.
Big thanks for Osaka archdiocese for wonderful hospitality. We will meet in Korea for next meeting.

Confirmation in TERAO
On this very windy, or rather stormy day in Niigata, 9 people received sacrament of Confirmation in St. John's Parish in TERAO in Niigata city. Parish Priest of the TERAO is Fr. Tadashi Machida who just turned 78 a few days ago. Because of the strong wind this morning, we were afraid that some of the candidates might not be able to reach the parish on time since they had to travel by train from outside the city. Sure the train was delayed but they managed to reach the parish on time. After the bad train accident in Yamagata a few years ago, train company, JR, is very cautious of running train on windy days.
Strong wind on the day of confirmation is very symbolic and meaningful. As we know the existence of wind by the effects of wind, such as dust stirred up or trees trembling, and not by the physical shape of wind which is invisible, Holy Spirit is recognised by its effect through us who believe in God and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. So we are obliged to be witnesses of the Holy Spirit to others around us through our own action, words and behavior.
Congratulations for those who received the sacrament and well done for preparation of the liturgy including good performance of 2 alter boys and 2 very cute alter girls.

Beginning of the end of the Daiwa Usagi.
This Usagi (Rabbit) dancing team has become a common sight in Niigata to prepare for Christmas. They always appear around this time of the year in a store window of DAIWA department store in Furumachi, Niigata. Of course, these rabbits are not real but mechanical toys. They dance to the typical Christmas songs such as "Jingle Bell" or "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. " Boy, these rabbits are cute. You can expect to witness a mother enjoying songs and dancing of them with her little kid in front of the store window during the day time or a gentleman who got tipsy dancing with them by night. They dance 24 hours a day triggered by a human motion detector. A high-tech machine!
However, it would be the last winter for these rabbits to dance in Niigata since their home, the Daiwa department store would be closed down next June. Because of poor business performance in Niigata prefecture where they have 3 stores, Daiwa department store from Kanazawa decided to close all these 3 stores in Niigata. That means we are losing our favorite rabbits. I will miss them for sure.
Tomorrow, there will be a confirmation Mass in Terao Parish in Niigata at 9:30 am.

Catholic Teachers' workshop in Sendai
Last week on Friday and Saturday, the 24th workshop for Catholic Teachers in TOHOKU area was held in SHIRAYURI High School in Sedani. All together 130 teachers from 11 Catholic Schools in the 7 prefectures which has been divided into 2 dioceses, Sendai and Niigata, attended the two-day workshop on the theme " Pass the Catholic spirit to Our Students". As the head of dioceses, Bishop Hiraga of Sendai and I participated the workshop while Bishop Mizobe of Takamatsu was invited as a main speaker on the theme.
Out of 11 schools, we have 2 of them in Niigata diocese, Seirei in Akita and Seishin in Niigata. Though the majority of the participants were from Shirayuri High, the host school, each school had sent 5 to 6 teachers including several head teachers to the workshop knowing maintaining the Catholic identity in their school is crucial factor for their future survival as Catholic schools. First and most, number of kids are decreasing in Japan drastically. Then vocation crisis in most of the religious orders resulting decreasing number of the religious presence in these Catholic schools. For instance, not only Sisters are no more teaching or working in Seishin High Shool in Niigata, even the administration of the school has been handed over to the secular corporation. I have been granting permission to the school to be called the Catholic since I am in the board and the administration had promised to maintain Catholic identity in the school including maintaining regular religion classes.
The workshop started with several open classes followed by the talk by Bishop Mizobe. I attended the Religious Music Class for Senior High 3rd grade students. The class was preparation for Hallelujah Chorus during the Christmas celebration for which entire student body of the Shirayuri participates. Photo above is from the class.
Second day was dedicated for small group discussion and closing Mass said by Bishop Hiraga while I preached a sermon. They will meet for yet another workshop in 2 years time in Hachinohe.

St.Damien de Veuster, SS.CC.
Thanks giving Mass for canonization of St.Damien de Veuster, SS.CC., was held in SAGAE, Yamagata at 10:30 am today. Fathers of the SS.CC., Society of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, are in charge of mission in Yamagata district in my diocese. St.Damien is well known to many as the leper priest of Molokai. He has been canonized on 11 October this year in Vatican.
More than 250 people came to attend the Mass. After the Mass, Fr. Donegan gave a talk on the life history of St.Damien. Also minor seminarians of Salesians from Yokohama performed a play on the life of St.Damien in Molokai. The seminarians did very well. Then members of Shinjo gave vote of thanks to everyone for their help to build their church in Shinjo. As I have mentioned this several times, there are number of Filipino mothers residing in my diocese and there are more than 100 of them in Shinjo. Together with their kids and sometimes with their husbands who are not Christians in most cases, they have been meeting in several places for Sunday Mass. With support of members of this diocese, we are trying to build their own church in Shinjo. At this moment, we are very close to reach the goal. Let us pray hard so that Almighty Father will give us more help to realise our dream. (Photo above; together with one of the members of Yamagata who gave a interesting performance. Behind us are Filipino mothers preparing for their turn)
During the party, Kawasaki DARC members gave a performance of traditional Okinawa dance and drumming. Then there were several good performances by Filipino members, both mothers and kids, from Shinjo and Yamagata, singing by members of various parishes in Yamagata and, finally to conclude, traditional Hanagasa dance by everyone.
Congratulations for members of the SS.CC. and thank you everyone to join the celebration.

CNN is trying to spin a survey showing record disapproval of Congress. The CNN/ORC International poll released today indicates two-third of respondents believe the current Congress is the worst in their lifetime. 73%, according to CNN, say Congress "has so far done nothing to address the country's problems, with one in four disagreeing."
Former Marxist Van Jones: "Amnesia culture" responsible for Obama's dismal numbers.
CNN breaks the poll down along establishment political lines. "Negative attitudes extend to both sides of the aisle: 52% believe that the policies of the Democratic leaders in Congress would move the country in the wrong direction; 54% say the same about the policies of congressional Republicans," CNN Polling Director Keating Holland said.
54% disagree with the policies of the Obama administration.
In order for the nation to move forward, CNN reports, Congress must agree on legislation and pass more laws.
"Even though it did pass a budget agreement, fewer than 60 bills have been signed into law during the first year of the two-year long 113th Congress, according to CNN analysis and by other news organizations as well. Assuming lawmakers don't pick up the pace next year, and that's a safe bet as 2014 is an election year, this will become the least productive Congress in at least the last four decades," explains the CNN Political Unit.
Earlier polls demonstrate overwhelming dissatisfaction with Congress is nothing new. In July, an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll indicated "83 percent of Americans disapprove of Congress' job, which is an all-time high in the survey. What's more, President Barack Obama has seen his job-approval rating dip to its lowest level since August 2011," according to NBC News.
Increasingly, Americans are looking beyond the establishment branded two party political system. A poll conducted in October by the Public Religion Research Institute shows nearly one-quarter of Americans qualify as libertarians or lean toward a libertarian political philosophy, according to the Washington Post. Most libertarians, the survey revealed, do not consider themselves as members of the tea party.
The poll is tempered by numbers in the other direction. The Washington Post posted an infographic alongside the article showing strong support for communalist political philosophies.
Communalism, or communism lite, is regarded as the political opposite of libertarianism.

TORONTO — Environmentalists say Ontarians can expect more pollution if the Progressive Conservatives go through with their plan to repeal a toxic substances regulation.
"Exposure to toxic chemicals such as hormone disruptors and air pollutants adds billions of dollars in health care costs and significantly increases the burden of chronic diseases such as cancer and asthma," Tim Gray, the executive director of advocacy organization Environmental Defence said in a statement.
"The Ontario government is not only undermining its own commitment to tackle pollution ... it is also sending the wrong signal to industry and will encourage them to dump more toxics into our air, water and consumer goods."
Schedule 5 of the government's proposed Bill 66 repeals the Toxics Reduction Act (TRA). The 2009 act requires companies that use toxic substances, including those that can cause cancer, to create a plan to reduce that use. Whether or not they actually implement the plan, though, is voluntary. About 40 per cent of facilities have done so.
Those facilities cut their use of toxic substances by seven per cent between 2015 and 2016. They also cut the amount of toxic substances contained in their products by nine per cent and released five per cent fewer toxic substances into the environment.
More than 425,000 tonnes of toxic substances were released into Ontario's water, land and air in 2016, the last year for which the government reported statistics. The province is one of the worst jurisdictions for toxic substance emissions in North America.
The government says the regulation is weak and overlaps with what the federal government is already doing.
"The Toxics Reduction Act was ineffective, and has not achieved meaningful reductions, and creates duplication for industry," a spokesman for the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks told HuffPost Canada by email.
By repealing the TRA, Bill 66 will save companies time and money, Gary Wheeler said.
An association that represents Canada's chemistry industry said the TRA forced companies to report the same information twice —to both the provincial and federal governments.
It really isn't an effective policy.Don Fusco
In some cases, the act made companies create a plan to reduce the creation of toxic substances even if the substance itself was the company's final product, the Chemistry Industry Association of Canada's Don Fusco told HuffPost.
"It really isn't an effective policy."
But the federal regulation that the government referenced, the Chemicals Management Plan, doesn't actually do the same thing as the TRA, one environmental lawyer said.
The federal law is about monitoring and evaluating toxic substances while the provincial law actually encourages companies to limit their use of them, Canadian Environmental Law Association lawyer Joe Castrilli told HuffPost.
"You can't rely on what the feds are doing," Castrilli said.
More from HuffPost Canada:
And it's unfair to say the TRA is ineffective because some parts of the law have actually never come into force, he added, including sections that allow for enforcement and penalties for non-compliance.
"That's a problem that the Ford government would have inherited. But repealing the statute isn't the solution to it, getting the remaining provisions to come into force is the solution."
In Massachusetts, where a similar law was fully enforced as soon as it passed, the creation of toxic substances was cut by 50 per cent after 10 years, Castrilli said.
"That's what's possible," he said.

Talk:David Siegl
Firstly, the David Siegl page should exist. I will start it, but I do not know him well, so any help will be appreciated.
Secondly, the question has arisen as to why this name should be separate (on request) from a particular alias used elsewhere, when the real name of Sibe is not. My reasoning for this is that Sibe has definitely done illegal things to the detriment of other members of the fandom which had reprecussions under his real name (e.g. Rabco Publishing), and therefore it is justified to post it in relation to those actions. David has not done anything illegal, fandom-related or not - again, to my limited knowledge - but rather has provided much art to the community under a liberal license, and so I think we should honour his request to not associate his name with his alias.
But what do you think? --GreenReaper(talk) 19:43, 11 Dec 2005 (UTC)
Comments from David Siegl[edit]

- Just one thing - I am NOT a furry artist, contrary to what almost everybody thinks, at least not under my real name. Most of my pics aren't even related to any furry subject, so I am always quite sad when people think they know me from just a few yiffy furry pics (although I don't deny love doing that). I started in the furry fandom only since 2002, but I've been practising my skills for almost 30 years before that ! My furry pics represent only a very little percent of all the art I've done, most of it being sci-fi, fantasy, horror, fantastic/oniric... Although being also furry, you'll get a REAL look of my art skills if you look at my mini-comic in Katmandu 33, story : "Predator and prey", published the 31th of january, 2006. I hope doing more for them in the future.

ARTIST OF THE MONTHEvery month we introduce you to one of the Canadian artists we represent. There is no salt and pepper, we reveal the rawest story on our artists' creative journey. How they met and fell in love with jewellery? What inspired them and how? What was the making process like? What are the tips on being a successfully established jewellery artist? Visit our Facebook and Instagram pages to stay up to date on our latest collections. Go to INTERVIEW ARCHIVE to read more stories.
METAMORPHOSIS - Featured Artist : Caroline Rivière
January 8th, 2019
Caroline Rivière is a Quebec-based jewellery artist whose work is inspired by the landscape surrounding her.Her collection, part of our ongoing exhibition 'Metamorphosis' reflects a transitioning landscape - merging the marine with the woodland - as a means of exploring the passage of time. Through her work, Caroline keeps a connection to her birthplace and her adolescents, represented by the sea - while at the same time exploring her present, her home in Quebec.
Q: What is your origin story?
I grew up in New Caledonia, a French island in the South Pacific. Since childhood, I have been passionate about the marine world. It is this passion that pushed me to settle in Quebec in 2007 to study Marine Biology. A few years later, having become a mother, I began to wonder about my choice of career. In parallel, I discovered jewellery, which quickly became a new passion. From the beginning, I created jewellery related to the marine world mainly, and nature, more generally.
Q: How did you get started in the jewellery business?
When my first daughter was born, I felt the need to have a creative activity. It was quite by chance that I started making jewellery, and it quickly became an obsession. However, assembling existing pieces between them was not enough for me. I wanted to be able to make jewellery from A to Z. That's when I decided to join the École de Joaillerie de Montréal.
Q: Tell us about your work process - what materials and processes do you favour?
I like working directly in the metal. Sawing, filing, welding, forming, etc. I find it fascinating to be able to create such beautiful things from almost nothing.
Q: What do you think makes your work unique?
I have already been told that I could very well make my jewellery by the technique of 3D printing. For my part, I think that it would not have the same impact. What makes my jewellery unique is that they are entirely handmade. This represents hours of sawing and milling (for texture). It is sometimes long and difficult, but it makes me proud to be able to offer to my customers unique jewels that I created entirely with my hands.
Q: Where do you gather inspiration?
I love watching photos on Pinterest. But the majority of my inspirations come from my underwater dives.
Q: What artists have inspired you the most - who do you look up to?
I particularly like the work of Vina Rust. Her jewelry is delicate and simply sublime. They talk a lot to the scientist in me. I also find that the work of Quebec jewellers Matthieu Cheminée and Pierre-Yves Paquette is also inspiring. The refinement of their designs combined with their respective techniques gives a result simply beautiful.
Q: What are the most valuable lessons you've learned from working in the industry?
The biggest lesson I've learned is to create foremost for myself, not to please others. This is how I think, that one finds their identity as an artist.
Q: What tips do you have for aspiring designers?
To overcome his fears. Getting started as an artist can be very intimidating, but do not let your fears stop you. I just think that the more you create, the more ideas you have. And so, the more you want to create.A big thank you to Caroline for inspiring us with their design journey! For more examples of Caroline's work click here. Caroline is part of the exhibition "METAMORPHOSIS: From Raw to Refined", click here to find out more.

But Cheapbestfares is here to give you the best cheap travel deals on your trip to Las Vegas. The city is blessed with 5 international and domestic airports that serve a lot of flights each day. The best option for travelers flying to Vegas is the Mc Carran International Airport (LAS) which is just 12 miles from the city. Apart from this, you can get down at Ontario International Airport (ONT) about 233 miles away, Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) about 236 miles away, then one also has the option of getting down at John Wayne Airport (SNA) approx. 272 miles away and at last the Los Angles International Airport which is 287 miles away.
From trying your luck in the casinos to relishing the local cuisines in the restaurants, you can enjoy your heart out even if you plan a weekend trip to the place. There might be many things that sound really expensive here but for those who know the place, can get a lot of freebies. With a little knowledge, one can get free show tickets, meals and also discounts on the hotel rooms. If you have planned you stay in Vegas, this is what all should be definitely on your to-do list:
The Strip
This 2.5-mile long section of Vegas might be there on your list already. The Strip runs through the Northeastern part to the southwestern part of the city. There are a lot of show venues, fine dining restaurants, beautiful and luxurious hotels and much more in the area. This place has two different faces on day and night. The strip becomes a wonderful street glowing in neon after the sunset. So, make yourself available for experiencing both the fascinating faces of "The Strip." People walk the lane during the day as well as night for getting some exceptional shots in the place. Though the place will be very crowded but do take a while and check out some of the restaurants on the strip, they serve some of the best cuisines in the city.
Neon Museum
The people of Vegas have a thing with Neon because they have developed a complete museum on this concept. Initially, the Neon touch was just given on the signboards to direct people towards some of the popular casinos such as El Cortez, Silver Slipper, and stardust. But now after the expansion of the museum, they have included a few more signs, tours with guides, and a few more things under their possession. To avoid the chaos and hassle, get your reservations done in advance. This is a must thing to do because the Neon Museum is a place that has a lot of visitors throughout the year and you can never take the impression that this place would ever be less crowded.
Great Canyon
Now there are two things that you can combine; a trip to the Great Canyon and the Hoover Dam. This might be a good option to save time as well as money. You can book a tour coach that will cost you approximately $85 and give you a complete tour of both the places. Even when you are taking a combined trip, freeze about 14 hours of your day because the Great Canyon and the Hoover Dam are 250 miles apart. And if you have more time to spare, then give a good visit to the Great Canyon. A rushed one will not serve the purpose at all.
Being a well-traveled destination Las Vegas has a wide range of options when it comes to transportation from the airport or commuting from one place to another inside the city. From sharing cabs to buses to personal renting cars, they have all the options open and working really fine. One can choose to take a Vegas Monorail or the Airport Shuttle as their first preference. If you wish to rent a personal car, then they have options for reservation of a Limousine, rental cars, and taxis. Apart from this, they have some very good services of buses, share rides and free parking garage. You can pick your ride from all these options and have a great time here.

Sunny Blende got into ultra running long before it was popular. The sports nutritionist who has worked with everyone from English Channel swimmers to ultra marathoners began her ultra career as a pacer in the 1981 Western States 100. Over the last 30 years she has watched the changing scene of endurance nutrition with great interest.
"Things were very different racing back then," says Blende. Instead of high tech sports drinks and gels, it was deffizzed Coca Cola and water with maple syrup and candy bars. "I remember at mile 60 of Western States they were handing the runners big plates of food that had cottage cheese, yogurt, dried fruit and all kinds of things," she says.
As endurance sports have gained in popularity, so have the products that fuel them. Since Blende's first race back in the early '80s, much research has been devoted to nutrition and optimal performance and, in particular, how to evade the dreaded "bonk." While not every race can be perfect, your chances of crossing that line in one piece hinge on your ability to fuel effectively during an ultra race.
More From Runner's World
Avoiding the bonk
Imagine your energy system is a wood-burning stove and the wood in the stove won't light until you come up with a match. In the same way, fat burns in the flame of carbohydrates; if you run out of carbohydrates you can't access your fat stores and your entire energy system shuts down, causing you to bonk. As a result of millions of years of genetic programming, our bodies are able to squeeze out a few more carbs by breaking down protein, not the kind we eat, but rather our own cells and tissues. It's like finding a few more matchsticks. This is why when you bonk, your pace slows, but you can keep going. As Blende says, "It's not a pretty picture."
It is important to note that while it is possible to avoid a complete energy meltdown, ultra running is a calorie-deficit sport. "The way our bodies metabolize foods, we just can't take in as much as we're expending," explains Blende. An average runner can only absorb about one gram of carbohydrates per minute (4 calories per gram) and about 240 calories per hour, while simultaneously burning around 100 calories per mile.
If you're coming into the race fully carbo-loaded, you won't need to begin fueling until 45 minutes to one hour into the race. Those pre-race carbs (10–12 g/kg/day, 36–48 hours) will help promote the storage of muscle glycogen, which allows a runner to go longer before fatiguing. After the first few miles of a race you'll want to start ingesting that 240 calories per hour, or closer to 200 calories for smaller runners. "Most runners are able to handle eating a lot more calories than they thought they could," says Blende. "Set your watch for every 15 minutes to remind yourself to eat a little and drink a little at a time."
The majority of those calories you are ingesting should be carbohydrates. The most common, and the most necessary, carb is glucose. Glucose is the matchstick that helps you burn fat, and also the only fuel your brain uses. It is also easily digested, so it will give you quick energy without making your feel sick. Runners can get glucose from a number of products. Look for brown rice syrup (in Clif products) or maltodextrin, which is a number of glucose molecules strung together.
Blende recommends that newer runners start with gels because they are the easiest product to ingest and they take the guesswork out of what you should be eating. More experienced ultra runners can train their bodies to handle solid foods. After four to eight hours (during a 50–100 miler), you may want to begin taking in a small amount of protein to help reduce muscle breakdown. Blende suggests one part protein to three or four parts carbohydrates, never exceeding 100 calories at a time. Blende's specialty is the peanut butter and gel sandwich, or PB&Gs.
Coming back from the bonk
The good news is, if your fueling plan goes awry, it is possible to recover from the depths of a bonk. "If you think of it as a line moving along and you're going below the line and starting to bonk, you can come back to the line," explains Blende. While you won't be able to go above the line and put money in the bank, your race is not a lost cause at this point.
As with training, when it comes to fueling, practice makes perfect. If you are feeling yourself slip, try refueling and see what makes you feel better. "When a runner gets to an aid station and they are feeling horrible and someone says, 'Why don't you try this potato dipped in salt,' and they feel better, that's their new miracle food. They just needed some salt and carbs," says Blende. Most importantly, she says, "It's all about knowing that even if you get into a slump, you can get back out of it; it doesn't mean your race is over."
Optimal hydration
"All sports nutrition advice can just be thrown out the window if you get dehydrated," says Blende. "Your body just won't work when it's dehydrated." In the same way you fuel with gels and foods, you must also take in liquids, and may get a large portion of your calories that way. What's more, liquids are absorbed more quickly than solids. Although hyponatremia, which occurs when a runner's blood gets diluted, is of concern for a few, the most recent research suggests that drinking water and sports drinks ad libitum is the way to go. Blende says that sports drinks are especially useful when you're sweating a great deal. "The advantage of the sports drink over water is that the electrolytes make you drink more and the sodium helps you retain more liquids and carbs," explains Blende.
One recent study published in the Clinical Journal of Sport Medicine found that dehydration in ultra marathoners tends to be the most prevalent the first eight hours of a race, so replacing the liquid lost through sweat is especially vital in the early stages. Since runners' sweat rates vary between ½ liter to 3 liters per hour, the best way to determine how much you should be drinking is to figure out your individual sweat rate. To do this, Blende says, "Weigh yourself in the nude, go out and run for an hour and don't eat or drink anything, towel off, go to the bathroom and weigh yourself again." If you've lost 2 lbs, that equals about 1 liter of liquid, which is the average sweat rate.
Keep in mind that those 240 or so calories you should ingest per hour include solids, gels and liquids. This means that you might want to pair a gel or a sandwich with a sports drink to get in the necessary fuel. "You can combine your hydration and calories in any combination you want," says Blende. "If you're a really heavy sweater, you could drink all your calories, however that wouldn't work for a lot of people because they'd end up with too much water."
In general, if you find yourself underweight following a run, you need more electrolytes, and if you're overweight, you need less. This being said, starting and finishing an ultra race at the same weight is overly optimistic; it is unlikely you'll be able to stay on top of replenishing all that is expended, so aim to be within a couple pounds of your starting weight.
The intensity and duration you are running will always affect how much you should consume. The harder you're running, the harder it is to consume food. Blende emphasizes, however, that runners are best served to avoid the bonk at all costs, and if you find yourself going down that road, act fast. "If you aren't feeling good, your body will slow down for you. As you slow down, you'll be able to digest more," she says. Whether you subscribe to a fueling plan from the '80s of the aughts, find what works for you and stick with it. Your body will thank you.

Fall Behind, Pay the Price: Remediation Rate Story
Special Education Report
High school graduates not prepared for college are a stubborn problem in Alabama.
You can learn about that education challenge by exploring the interactive map and in the stories that follow.
This is an interactive map. Check your community, school.
The 2014 Alabama high school graduates who arrived at state public colleges last fall often faced unhappy news. One in three found themselves unprepared for college math or English classes, according to data from the Alabama Commission on Higher Education (ACHE).
They started their college careers behind, required to take remedial courses, an experience that national studies say puts them at risk of not completing their degrees.
Remediation is a costly pursuit, as more than 10,000 remedial courses were taken by Alabama's high school graduates in colleges last fall, costing nearly $10 million.
Remedial classes cost the same as other college courses, but they do not count toward a student's degree. Students face paying for these classes first, and passing them, before they can pay for and take math and English courses that count toward a degree.
Remedial coursework also means taxpayers pay twice: once for students to take courses in high school and then again for students to relearn that material in college.
Remediation rates haven't budged since the state department of education began measuring them for Plan 2020, the strategic plan for K-12 public education. The state target for the overall remediation rate for 2014 was 23%, but the actual rate was 32.1%, up slightly from 31.8% from 2013.
State Superintendent Dr. Tommy Bice has said repeatedly that it's difficult to prepare students for college when Alabama's public colleges all have different definitions of readiness.
Bice is working toward a common definition of college-readiness, starting with the two-year colleges, as the remediation rate for two-year community college students in Alabama is three times that of four-year college students.
What should concern students and their families even more than cost is what research shows outcomes are for students placed in remedial classes: They are less likely to complete their degrees, particularly those in two-year community colleges.
According to the Community College Research Center, less than 25% of students who are placed into remedial education in community college earn a degree within eight years.
Complete College America, a national nonprofit group working with states to enact reforms to ensure more students earn a degree, calls remedial classes the "Bermuda Triangle of higher education," adding "most students get lost and few will be seen on graduation day."
Their research shows that nationwide, only 35 % of students placed in remedial classes earn a four-year degree in six years, whereas 56% of all students earn a degree in the same time.
So how well are *central Alabama's high schools preparing students for college math and English? ( *Jefferson and Shelby counties, plus nearby Bibb, Blount, Calhoun, Chilton, Coosa, Cullman, Etowah, St. Clair, Talledega, Tuscaloosa and Walker counties.)
While rates across Alabama can be compared with each other, doing so nationally presents problems because states can measure rates differently. So we'll look at a couple of different national rates.
The overall remediation rate for central Alabama students is 37.1 %. The overall rate is 32.1 % for the state; the rate nationally is 20%, according to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).
Of central Alabama students enrolled in state four-year colleges, 18% needed remedial courses. Across Alabama, that rate was 16%. Nationally, the rate is 15% to 25%, according to NCES. In this category – students going to four-year colleges — Alabama students seemed as well prepared as others.
However, more than one-half, 53%, of central Alabama students heading to public two-year colleges needed remediation. The state rate was 47 %. NCES's national rate is 26%. There is disagreement about the national rate, though. Complete College America reports it to be between 50% and 56%.
Regardless of which rates are used to compare, there is across-the-board agreement that work needs to be done to improve college-readiness for Alabama's high school graduates.
Before we look at the map, a note on what the data does and doesn't tell us. These remediation rates only reflect Alabama public high school students who graduated in spring of 2014 and enrolled in an Alabama public two- or four-year college in the fall of 2014. No state data exists for students who enroll in private or out-of-state colleges.
The class of 2015 numbers will be available in February 2016.
Today's Special Report is the first of a series, Numbers That Matter, on Alabama education. The project is a partnership between BirminghamWatch and Alabama School Connection. Trisha Powell Crain is reporting. Read about her here.

Despite it being 2014, many businesses are plagued by outdated and woefully inefficient communications systems. Modern technology now permits businesses with ways to connect with others around the globe– instantly. So why, then, is it taking so long for companies to adopt these new, streamlined communications systems that make the process of speaking with other businesses easier?
Communication Systems
In our internet-dominated society, it's hard to believe that a telecommunications system can improve a business enough so that it is fully capable of competing for a share of the market. As with everything, it would seem, one aspect is not enough. A telecommunication system can help a business compete for a share of the market. But coupling its efficiency with a concerted social media strategy is important to reach your customers, and potential customers as well. Creating an effective social media strategy is hard, and pitfalls like oversaturation and undersaturation create a fine-line for businesses to walk, in order for their message to be heard.
For one, look at Toll Free Numbers, an easy and efficient strategy to gain a global presence for your business. As the article, "1-800 Numbers: What Are They And What Can They Do For My Business " on SmartTollFreeNumber.com states, "Having a toll-free number widens a base without having to go to the customer. They take the business anywhere, instead of catering to a local audience."
Communicating with clients can be one thing, but communicating within a company is something completely different. Working terrestrially is one thing, but as we become more and more mobile, the need for systems that can handle the mobility becomes more significant. Thankfully, the industry has kept up with the demand, even shaping it, to an extent.
Cloud technology allows access to important documents and spreadsheets from anywhere with an internet connection. No longer is it necessary for employees to run back to the office to update a spreadsheet; all they have to do is log on, and make the necessary corrections. It makes the process of working from home easier, as well, improving overall productivity.
Perhaps the most innovative feature of a cloud system is its collaborative abilities: if a secretary creates a spreadsheet, they can share it with the necessary parties within the company, and allow them collaborative permission, meaning that all parties can update the spreadsheet without ever having to be on the same continent, should they be somewhere else. But cloud computing is much more than that. It can completely transform your organization with tools like Netsuite. If you're wondering, it's very easy to integrate Netsuite into your workflow.
Success Can Be Cost-Effective
Cost, as it always is, is often a prohibitive factor for companies. It would make sense that the ability to have voicemails turned into MP3 files and sent to an email account for easier access and a revamped organizational process would cost a lot of money. But the fact is that it doesn't, and even more shockingly: this is just one of the features that small businesses can take advantage of. A designated email address can also receive faxes from anywhere, and they can be viewed as PDF's for convenience.
Perhaps the most impressive feature of the modern day telecommunications system is the ease with which each can be managed. Online control centers serve as literal headquarters for administration of said system. Phone lines can be added instantly, extensions set-up, and you can even pay the bill there.
With business communications systems progressing rapidly, previously-hidden benefits to their utilization are becoming more apparent. While streamlining a company's management of the system, their benefits have become more inclusive. Administration is easier than ever, saving everyone in the company from processes so mundane that they could possibly end in workplace disasters.
