New year, new talent?
No, this post isn't about New Year's resolutions.
For most companies, January means slide decks, strategy meetings, and fresh budgets to accompany all the optimistic goals that lie on the horizon. Often times, it also means a jam-packed careers page on the company website. But maybe it shouldn't.
Sure, some roles simply need to be filled. But other positions are posted simply because "the budget's there," or in anticipation of projects or work to come. With the massive expense of hiring, on-boarding, benefits, and retention, most businesses have to choose between spending now in anticipation of a future workload, or the risk of coming up short with deadlines looming.
Here's an idea: rather than hiring based on a hunch, why not hold onto that budget? And once the work is there, rather than scrambling to post to the "Careers" page, why not let Uncanny Creative find you pre-vetted, professional creative talent? Yes, we're 100% biased here, but we're also trying to save you some major dough. And how's that for a New Year's resolution? (Sorry.)

sample guest book
a few days ago i got in a sample guest book to show wedding clients who are interested in using their complimentary engagement portrait session to put together a signable, photo guest book for their wedding. the couple here - well, they were already married when i did this shoot :) but i love them and the images so much, i decided to get this sample! it's a 10X10 hinged book, so the pages lay flat when the book is open, as you can see, and the paper is a thick "art" paper with a very faint texture to it, and a matte coating, so it can be written on and archived.although the layout and paper style are what you would see in a guest book, the size and binding are what you would also see in a coffee table book, if you decide to go that route for your wedding book! coffee table books come in medium (8x8, 8.5X11) and large (10X10, 12X12, 11X14) sizes and have the same hinged binding, but a more lustrous paper, like a fine art book. and cover options include leather/faux leather, photowrap or canvas photowrap (like this one!) (and in some sizes, a dust jacket option). i was excited to see this myself - the printed color is rich and perfect, and the quality of the paper is tangible. excited to get more of these out to clients!

Wessler is proud to announce that Natalie Ercole is the subject of this month's Employee Spotlight! Natalie joined Wessler earlier this year and is a key team member who serves in our accounting department.
We asked Natalie a handful of questions so that we all can get to know her better, including the time she went to Long Island, NY and found out the term "pie" there does not mean the same thing as "pie" in the MidWest.
What are your roles/responsibilities at Wessler?First off, I am humbled that I was considered by my peers to be the Employee Spotlight, thank you! I am a staff accountant, with my main responsibilities being that I handle billings and back-up for Accounts Payable. This position is a true blessing.
What does the Wessler Way mean to you?
The Wessler Way means being ethical in every way, whether at work or at home, and being kind to others no matter when or where you are or what you do. I do my best to put my best foot forward when representing Wessler and taking pride in a job well done. The people here are very helpful and practice what a true team environment is. I look forward to retiring from Wessler (they may have to kick me out!). Also, when I grow up, I want to be like my boss Jim!
What are some of your favorite things to do outside of work?
Spending time with my family and watching DVD's...I am a home body at heart!

AI: Our New Best Friend
The fourth wave of the Industrial Revolution is here. If change is led by the right people, we will have ethical machines, says Intel's Lama Nachman.
15 September, 2019
- We're entering the fourth wave of the Industrial Revolution, says Genevieve Bell, cultural anthropologist and fellow at Intel. You can chart humanity's progress through four disruptive stages: Steam engine, electricity, computers, and now AI.
- AI is already all around us, but what will it look like at scale? What will life be like when "suddenly all the objects around us are capable of action without us directing them?" asks Bell. Will fully scaled AI be a boon or an existential threat to humanity?
- Speaking at The Nantucket Project, Lama Nachman, director of Intel's Anticipator Computing Lab, affirms her optimism. "My belief is that, really, ethical people and ethical researchers are the ones who are going to build ethical machines."

Florida Gators football player Jalen Tabor apologized for comparing the Southeastern Conference to a "Modern Form of Slavery." Probably because it's crazy.
In a Tweet that was later deleted, Tabor in response to reports that the SEC's profits had soared 62% from 2014-2015, Tweeted the following:
Then, Tabor walked that back:
I'm conferring with multiple sources in order to determine the precise location of "far," since Tabor seems convinced that's where he went "to." But in lieu of doing the grammatical work the University of Florida is apparently unwilling to do themselves, how about we address the rest of that Tweet?
Why is it that everyone's go-to analogy for unpaid labor is slavery? Aren't internships unpaid labor? Clerkships in local, state, and federal courts? Are they paid? Do interns and clerks believe they were slaves? Or did they accept unpaid labor in order to gain invaluable experience and skill and advance their careers?
Kind of like what college football players are doing right?
The other aspect of this insanity is the fact that slavery, by necessity, deprives people of free will. Something which all college football players have. To either start or stop playing at any ol' time they choose.
But enough trying to make sense out of nonsense. About this "far" place…

So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.
T. S. Eliot
The lucía lighting & design team has done an incredible job with lighting our newly renovated kitchen showroom. Lighting is so much more than purchasing a light fixture, and it is complicated. There are so many ways to incorporate light including decorative overhead, recessed, in-cabinet, in drawers, and under cabinet. Having a lighting professional from lucía lighting create our plan was essential. The layers of light are perfect and we hope it encourages our clients to incorporate a lighting plan from lucía in their renovation. – Heartwood Kitchens (via Houzz)

"The underwriters got greedy on behalf of selling shareholders and hit the price high enough that they do not have much of a bump on the first day," said Bill Smead, Chief Investment Officer at Smead Capital Management, which did not buy shares in Facebook IPO.
The historic initial public offering of Facebook is not going as planned on Friday, the sky-high society social networking development combined with business problems left the stock languishing near its offer price at market close .
Facebook share began trading in late morning Friday and opened 11 percent above the offering price of $ 38, but after peaking at about $ 45 slipped rapidly at the end of the day to close at 38, $ 23. The IPO was the third largest in the history of the United States and valued Facebook to eight years to 104 billion.
The first is surprisingly low for a stock that analysts had predicted rise between 10 and 50 percent is not likely to dent the business prospects of Facebook, which claims 900 million users and is disrupting business practices and social relations worldwide.
But unexpected developments was a marked decline in Morgan Stanley, the leader in the business, which sources said was forced to defend the price level of $ 38 by purchasing shares on the open market. Many market players have said they expected the stock to remain under pressure next week.
The offer has also proved an embarrassment for the NASDAQ: the opening was delayed by the exchange struggled with a huge volume of orders, and for much of the day, there were long delays in the confirmation of order. The SEC said Friday it was reviewing the situation.
Social media companies and Internet companies that had hoped to benefit from a halo effect Facebook has instead been dampened Friday, with the giant Zynga Social Gaming is nearly 15 percent.
Analysts say Facebook may have just reached too to raise the price range of introductory pricing at the top of the range and increasing the size of the offer earlier in the week.
"The underwriters got greedy on behalf of selling shareholders and hit the price high enough that they do not have much of a bump on the first day," said Bill Smead, Chief Investment Officer at Smead Capital Management, which did not buy shares in Facebook IPO. "They increased the size of the transaction and who really did a number on it."
Skeptics have argued all along that an evaluation of over 100 billion - roughly equivalent to Amazon.com Inc. and superior to that of Hewlett-Packard Co and Dell combined - was much too high for a company that posted $ 1 billion and profits of 3.7 million dollars in revenue in 2011.
Concerns about the potential gains of Facebook were highlighted by the announcement this week that General Motors would no longer buy paid advertising on Facebook.
"You do not need more than a little pencil and a towel to make an assessment about it, to say that there are heroic assumptions in earnings growth to keep this $ 100 billion, much less $ 115 000 000 000 or $ 120 billion, "said Dave Rolfe, fund manager at River Park Fund Wedgewood, who own shares in Facebook.
"I know there are a lot of excitement and exuberance, but now it appears that the market is beginning to make some hard assessment calculations from the beginning."
Opening day of Facebook on Wall Street does not bode well for the performance of the stock in the days ahead, said Channing Smith, portfolio manager at Capital Growth Advisors, who own shares in Facebook.
"If you're an investment banker or if you are long the stock, I would definitely a little worried as we move away from this weekend," he said.
The IPO may also weak give pause to private investors in Silicon Valley that have been invested money in companies next generation Internet at very high valuations in the hope of eventually take to make them public.
The media circus
Facebook Headquarters in Silicon Valley, the day began with company founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, 28, symbolically ringing the opening bell for stock trading on Friday morning.
Wearing his trademark black hoodie, Zuckerberg, whose shares are worth almost $ 20 billion and retains voting control over society, in his arms and high fived Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook Director Chief Operating Officer, who is credited discipline of business crucial to a company founded in a Harvard dorm room.
The area outside the Facebook offices was packed with photographers, more than a dozen television trucks and a helicopter hovering overhead television news.
Outside the headquarters of Nasdaq in New York, the crowd also gathered, even as officials of hard currency to settle trade problems for investors to guess whether their purchase and sale orders were actually executed.
The IPO will hit thousands of paper millionaires among the new Facebook employees 3,500 - and a handful of billionaires among its founders and early investors. More than half of the proceeds from the IPO will go to existing shareholders, including donors such as the beginning of Accel Partners and DST Global Russia.
In anticipation of the IPO, institutional investor demand was strong, and many analysts had expected an influx of retail investors who want to own a slice of a cultural phenomenon, regardless of price. But this does not happen.
"Flippers who waited all day for a pop that came not decided to throw in the towel and leave," said Mohannad Aama, managing director of Beam Capital Management LLC in New York.
"This group also includes people who overextended themselves to get more stock than they can afford to take -. If they got the union or on the open market once it has open around noon "
Yet from the perspective of Facebook, the dividend yield can be taken to reflect smart pricing: Zuckerberg and early investors cashed up and left little easy money on the table.
"You want to price the offer correctly. Institutional Buyers get a small bump and the company raises the right amount of money," said Kevin Hartz, co-founder and CEO of Eventbrite, a start-up ticketing line that is built into the Facebook platform. "If the stock has a huge bump on the first day, it means that you misread the market demand and the company could have raised more money with the same amount of dilution, or could have raised the same amount of money with less dilution. "
Facebook faces many challenges as he takes his place beside Google, Apple and Amazon as one of the giant public defining the next generation Internet economy. Google, Facebook in particular seen as a mortal threat and is moving aggressively to integrate social networking features through its products.
Meanwhile, dozens of young companies are building new products and services, in some cases above the Facebook platform and in some cases, compete with it, and attracting huge amounts of capital investment.
A handful of these so-called Web 2.0 companies, including Zynga, LinkedIn Corp., Yelp and Groupon have already gone public, and others have been acquired by industry giants. All these stocks fell on Friday in sympathy with Facebook lower than expected debut.
In an indication of the land grab underway in the world of the Internet, Facebook in April spent $ 1 billion to acquire Instagram, a small company of sharing photos with a lot of users but no revenue. A rival Facebook, the site of social Pinterest scrap-booking, raised money earlier this week an assessment of $ 1.5 billion in a sign that investors and other private investors still see enormous potential in Web 2.0 companies.
Many Facebook users spend hours a day on the site and share vast amounts of personal information. This in turn allows Facebook to target its advertising to the interests of specific populations, and many analysts believe the vast store of personal information that gives an advantage Facebook Google and others may not.
"Literally everything you see on the internet, you've seen on Facebook - but done with much of the social graph built into it," said Siva Kumar, CEO of e-commerce TheFind. "D In a way, they operate the mall, and everyone in the mall will pay one way or the other to Facebook. "
Analysts say the company has vast untapped potential in mobile computing, where it has been low to date, and potentially in other Internet services like e-mail and research. Zuckerberg, but unproven as a public company CEO, is widely admired as a visionary product that did a masterful job to continually improve the Facebook experience.
Skeptics, however, note that only a small percentage of Facebook users respond to advertising on the site. Google keeps a great advantage in this regard, because the Internet search advertising is specific in nature much more relevant and therefore more valuable.
In Silicon Valley, however, the conventional wisdom is that Facebook and its brethren will force social media more and more important in the business for many years to come.
And no matter how the industry dynamics are taking place in the long term, the influx of wealth resulting from the extraordinary growth of Facebook has helped drive a mini boom in San Francisco Bay Area real estate. Income tax relating to the IPO will reduce the state budget deficit in California by an estimated $ 2 billion.

Non-union West Carrollton city workers would get a bigger raise this year under a proposal to provide them with the same wage hike as a police union.
An ordinance to boost non-union city workers pay to 3 percent for 2019 comes after West Carrollton last month accepted a fact-finder's report recommending that same increase for the West Carrollton Police Association.
Non-union city employees and the police sergeants union both received a 2.5-percent wage increase in 2019, city records show. Pay for those workers would increase 0.5 percent retroactive to Jan. 1 under the proposal expected to be approved by West Carrollton City Council tonight.
"A 3-percent increase for bargaining unit employees is not unreasonable," according to the fact-finder's report.

The city sought to give the WCPA a 2.5-percent hike for 2019, while the union of patrol officers and detectives sought a 4-percent raise, according to the fact-finder's report.
"There are very few departments in the state of Ohio, and no comparable departments, who have received an increase at the level proposed by the union," according to the fact-finder's report.
The WCPA includes 17 full-time officers and detectives, as well as two part-time officers, records show.
The city's 2019 appropriations call for 2.5-percent wage hikes for all employees. The 0.5-percent increase will add $35,000 to the budget "across all funds for union and non-union employees," city records show.
RELATED: City adding full-time firefighters to rescue city from station brownouts
"The city has made efforts to keep expenditures consistent at a time when revenue collections have been flat or worse," according to the fact-finder's report. "Fifteen full-time positions have been eliminated and 10 positions have been reduced to part-time since fiscal year 2000."
The union contends the police department has had problems retaining employees as eight patrol officers have resigned since 2014, the report states.
While "the city has recovered" since the Great Recession, "the union's wages have not. Their wages far below those paid to surrounding jurisdictions," the report states.
West Carrollton City Council is scheduled to meet at 6 p.m. in the West Carrollton Civic Center, 300 E. Central Ave.

Jaguar has expanded its performance-enhanced R-S range with yet another mother– the XFR-S Sportbrake. The power wagon incorporates engineering features from both the XKR-S and the new F-Type sports car, with the British automaker describing it as the most driver-focused, agile and responsive addition to an XF model range that includes the XFR-S sedan.
The XFR-S Sportbrake is powered by a 5.0-litre supercharged V8 petrol engine that cranks out 542 horsepower (550 PS) and 680 Nm (502 lb-ft) of torque. Using an eight-speed transmission with the F-Type's 'Quickshift' technology, it accelerates from 0 to 60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 4.6 seconds and to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds. Top speed is electronically-capped at 186 mph (300 km/h).
In order to manage the increase in rear mass, while retaining the sharp turn-in and response of the XFR-S sedan, the Sportbrake's rear suspension gains revisions to both rear spring rates and the adaptive damper tune. The active electronic differential and Dynamic Stability Control settings have also been tuned, allowing the driver to make the most of the car's potential. Stopping power is provided by 380mm front / 376mm rear ventilated discs.
A number of exterior modifications also lend to its performance capabilities, including a deeper front bumper with larger, lower-placed air intakes for improved air flow; extended side sills; and aeroblade mouldings behind the front wheels that create a sharp break-off point between the lower bodywork and the road surface in order to keep airflow attached to the sides of the car. The 20-inch Varuna forged alloy wheels are lightweight and have a ceramic polish on their outer surfaces. Buyers can have them in either dark grey or full gloss black.
The rest of the Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake's performance and styling package is virtually identical to the sedan's. Sales begin in the second quarter of 2014, with prices starting at £82,495 (~ €100,000 / $137,600).

Mercedes-AMG GT R Roadster Is One Exclusive Convertible
Production of this drop-top German will be limited to just 750 units.
Just four months after the four-door Mercedes-AMG GT made its debut, the Mercedes-AMG GT family has grown yet again with the addition of the GT R Roadster.
Arriving just in time for summer, the limited-edition convertible features a three-layer fabric soft top with lightweight aluminum and magnesium construction and an acoustic mat that helps absorb wind noise.
Power is provided by AMG's 4.0-liter V8 Bitrubo engine, producing 577 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. The sprint from 0 to 60 mph (96 km/h) is complete in 3.5 seconds and top speed is reached at 197 mph (317 km/h).
Like the GT R coupe, the GT R Roadster boasts a long list of exterior upgrades that include a wider stance, a larger rear wing, exclusive 20-inch wheels in the rear and 19-inch rims up front, and an adjustable coil-over suspension with active rear axle steering
A number of active aerodynamic components have been implemented to manage airflow around the engine and underneath the car, reducing lift and maximizing efficiency and downforce.
Notable interior touches include AMG black carbon fiber trim elements, AMG Performance seats wrapped in Nappa leather, and an AMG Performance steering wheel.
Mercedes plans to build just 750 examples of the GT R Roadster, so act fast if you want one.

Alfa Romeo Tonale SUV Concept Previews Alfa's First Electrified Vehicle
The Italian automaker is getting ready to enter the electric vehicle segment.
Alfa Romeo used the 2019 Geneva Motor show to debut the Tonale Concept, previewing its first plug-in hybrid.
Sharing a design language with the larger Stelvio, the sleek compact crossover stands out with a large lower grille flanked by LED-array headlights that are thinner than those on the Stelvio and retro design elements like Alfa Romeo's characteristic phone-dial wheel, which as borrowed from the 33 Stradale of the 1960s.
Highlights of the interior include a 12.3-inch full digital instrument cluster, a large 10.25-inch touchscreen for the central head unit, and premium materials ranging from aluminum to Alcantara and leather.
Technical details or a launch window for the production Tonale were not revealed, but the model was envisioned with a plug-in hybrid powertrain.
Alfa Romeo plans to launch a total of six PHEVs by the end of 2022, and the Tonale will certainly be one of them.

Polestar 2 Electric Car Charges Up To Battle Tesla Model 3
Sweden delivers yet another promising electrified vehicle.
The Polestar 2 has arrived, and it's ready to do battle with the Tesla Model 3 and other premium compact electric cars.
As Polestar's first fully-electric vehicle, the Polestar 2 draws heavy inspiration from the Volvo 40.2 concept that debuted in 2016, featuring a relatively high ride height for a sedan and a five-door fastback design that makes it more versatile.
In fact, the Polestar 2 is based on Volvo's Compact Modular Architecture platform and is powered by a drivetrain consisting of two electric motors and a 78 kWh battery that deliver a combined 408 horsepower and 487 lb-ft. of torque, enough power to accelerate it from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in under five seconds.
The 27-module battery pack also integrated into the floor to improve the rigidity of the chassis and improve noise, vibration and harshness levels. It provides the Swedish electric car with a driving range of around 275 miles (443 km) on a single charge.
For those interested in a sportier driving experience, the Polestar 2 will be available with a Performance Pack that adds Öhlins dampers, Brembo brakes and unique 20-inch forged wheels. It also adds gold seat belts, brake calipers and valve caps.
Highlights of the interior include an 11-inch touchscreen that runs an Android-based infotainment system, granting owners access to Google Assistant, Google Maps and a number of other vehicle-based apps.
Production of the Polestar 2 kicks off in China in early 2020, with pricing starting at 39,900 Euros in Europe and at $55,000 in the United States.
Like the Polestar 1, it will be available exclusively via an online ordering system, and there will also eventually be a subscription program to broaden its reach.
Polestar will also introduce a less expensive version of the Polestar 2 down the road.

Knotel Co-Hosts Nasdaq LGBT Leadership Conference
We fly our flags every day at Knotel, but never more than during Pride Month. This year we were thrilled to co-host Nasdaq's second annual LGBT Leadership Conference in New York City — a full day of presentations covering a variety of topics impacting the LGBTQIA+ community, including intersectionality in the workplace, LGBT leadership, and the state of HIV.
In planning the program for the latter half of the day, Kevin Hoderny and Valentina Rizzati, co-leaders of the OUT@Knotel Employee Resource Group, wanted to focus on authenticity in the workplace and the evolution of gender: "we wanted to bring the Knotel ethos to the table — while our core values are written on the wall, we also live them fully every day, both at work and outside."
The afternoon kicked off with a speech from Knotel CEO Amol Sarva, who spoke to what it means to be an outsider and why authenticity is crucial in shaping a growing company. Amol's speech was followed by an unforgettable panel discussion moderated by filmmaker Lauren Lubin and featuring actor Nico Tortorella from "Younger," Jodie Patterson, a well-known activist and inspiring mother, and Tiq Milan, a leading voice for transgender equality. The panelists drew from their own experiences: coming out as nonbinary, being the parent of a trans child, and living as a trans man, respectively, for what was an insightful and moving conversation that didn't leave a dry eye in the house.
Rounding off the day with happy hour drinks, we were joined by drag sensations Brita Filter and KizhaCarr. If you've never seen a drag show on the 10th floor terrace of a building overlooking Times Square, well, there's always next year.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this fantastic event, and happy Pride. Please enjoy the photos below.

Fox Rehabilitation, a health care provider located in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, "provides physical, occupational and speech therapy services – whether in a house, apartment, senior living community, adult medical day care, or outpatient clinic."
Its CEO, Tim Fox, has reported on the costs of Medicare audits. Here are some of the observations:
- Fox Rehabilitation employs 905 persons, with 705 clinicians "who visit patients in their homes in eight states".
- Win rate on audit appeals: 85% are won at the third level of appeal.
- Expected revenue 2014 is $90 million.
One of the big problems is compliance with the massive amount of document requests from audits. The cost is so high that Fox Rehabilitation was forced to cut staff in other areas of the company. The increased audits with a reduction of -15% in Medicare payments drove the company to lay off 62 employees. IT also had to reduce the payments to its therapists.

Paypal online payments
Hello, I am having some troubles in setting up online payments with Paypal, it's not very clear to me. I have enabled online payment from Home > School Admin > Manage Finance Settings>Enable Online Payment>Yes and Home > System Admin > Third Party Settings>Enable Payments>Yes and filled it with Paypal API credentials. I tried to issue a school fee for a family and I log into the system as parent, shall I see the paypal checkout button under the school fees?
Thank you
Thank you
Hi Luca,
The invoicing process should email the parents when an invoice is issued, and this invoice contains a link through which they can pay. There is currently no interface in Gibbon where parents can go in and see a list of payments and make them. This would be ideal, but we've not had a chance to build it.
Let us know if this helps.

The works of D. Martyn-Lloyd Jones, renown for his powerful expository sermons, are sadly absent from Logos. Wouldn't it be great to have his collections of expository messages in the Logos system where searches could bring up his insights on the many messages that he carefully exegeted and explained?
There are many works available. Is there anything specific you are looking for?

James Chandler:There are many works available. Is there anything specific you are looking for?
The obvious ones missing are his sermons on Romans, together with his Sermon on the Mount.
Thanks for the link, James. Great to see the Ephesians series and the other titles offered by Crossway. I hadn't seen these before because I was looking for Banner of Truth publications, notably The Romans Series, and also Studies in The Sermon on the Mount. Am I missing them somehow?
Hi Bruce,
I was searching on the forum before I posted exactly the same suggestion as yourself. The lack of Banner of Truth publications leaves a big hole. I'm sure you are aware that the sermons are available in audio for free from the mjltrust but having a logos copy would be great. I've taken to trying to get at least some of Romans into logos as a personal book but it would be brilliant if we could purchase these.

Russia, Oslo, and Chess Champions: any EPIIC "Why Tufts"
Russia, Oslo, and Chess Champions: any EPIIC "Why Tufts"
Virtually all students who also get in in order to Tufts have got to answer the main question, 'Why Tufts? '
I got straight into Tufts.
For that reason I answered the dilemma, 'Why Stanford? '
Two years ago, actually. And then As i answered this question another time, made a decision to come to Stanford.
Why? At that time, because it is the best college I got into. pro-academic-writers Hindsight is certainly 20/20, while, so scream out to Papa Time for verifying me drastically wrong. That's not why I should get picked Tufts. Luckily, despite the fact that, as it trouble I developed the right choice.
And here is why: Tufts gives you in order to do the anyone want to do, today.
Tufts seems to have countless programs that encourage students to get away from classroom you need to doing to understand instead of studying to do. Synaptic Scholars enables students ahead together his job on interdisciplinary personal tasks and to peer-review each other. The main Tisch as well as Summer College students programs enable undergraduates the main city and ways to do investigation in their niche. Allies invests students within the front outlines of civil-military relations by connecting customers with peers at army academies. Ankle sprain a friend that won your grant for you to do research inside the economics division. My flatmate researched unguentous tissue through stem units last semester to gather info that would promote research for diabetes.
As well as me? So i'm in EPIIC: Education with regard to Public Issue and Global Citizenship, some colloquium-style elegance in which we now have a new lecturer every category, each a reliable in a sub-field of the larger sized topic picked each year. Trainees study intensively during the primary semester (think '500 web pages of browsing each week' and 'four-hour, ten-pages (typed) written exams') in order to prepare themselves to host a big symposium with that similar topic in late February, on which they compel leading sounds in the subject and help meaningful, exciting conversation involving academic heavyweights.
This year was initially 'Russia inside XXI Century'. Timely an interest as Russian federation is, people started in 310 AD by using Kievan Rus and analyzed Russia's scenario from every angle: financial, political, social, etc ., continually attempting to acquire both the Us and Ruskies perspectives, as well as a detached third-party point of view. Most people went strong into Russia's history to clarify its existing.
In August, I was granted the chance to defend my school as one about three delegates (and, we'd later uncover from some of our nametags, Students ) to the throughout the world acclaimed Oslo Freedom Forum, a conference upon human rights held year after year in Oslo, Norway, residence of the Nobel Peace Prize. This year, there would be a very Russian-heavy showing with personalities, and as a result, the experience was basically appropriate for your classmates. I got for you to personally speak with and interact with some of the most very important people throughout Russia: Garry Kasparov, winner of chess and human being rights; Mikhail Khodorkovsky, one of the most famous political prisoners on the 21 st century and recently the the big doggs man for Russia; Muschi Riot, Russian language female dick rock demonstration band; and a whole lot more.
And as a good aspiring filmmaker, I constructed a skin flick about it, which was screened within our own conference, seminar. So don't allow me quickly go over it make it possible for my photographic camera and classmates do the conversing in the videos below.
So in essence what Now i'm trying to state is this: I chose correctly, but mostly by accident. I did not be familiar with any of these chances before arriving in campus, but when it weren't for Stanford, I do not would have acquired the opportunity to symbolise my university at an overseas conference and create a film relating to this.
Week-ends in Spring
There are a number of weekends around April. I just intend to love every one of them all. Here are my plans.
One: Subtle Rave
The idea usually everyone is included with their very own music-playing equipment, and we all of dance some of our pants away from to the same exact music also through your headphones. It's going to be hilarious. We got a fantastic posting in the Stanford Daily as a consequence of the remarkable Jenn Straitz. Also My partner and i invited all the school, so we'll observe this is going.
Up-date: It was magnificent. There were possibly 50 people there, My partner and i only assumed half, we got a great high energy hour so when you had taken of your headphones it was a group of people breath heavily. Would likely recommend.
Two: Easter
I know, many of you are thinking So i'm off by using a week. I will be Eastern Orthodox, and we period our Paschal services a bit differently. So one week afterwards than a lot of the world, I'm going to celebrate an enormous, traditionalish Ancient greek Easter that has a bunch of non-Greeks. I like to the actual whole leg-of-lamb thing and prepare a bunch of tasty traditional recipes, and it's a fun time to get back together and take in together and enjoy everybody's company.
Three: TEDxTufts
Soon we will be speaking for the TEDxTufts, that is certainly an on their own organized ALLEN event that is going to be used on grounds. I'm having a debate about an idea that I've been planning for ages; I won't spill all the details here, nonetheless it's regarding how we control the people we look up to. I am just very thrilled, both for an opportunity to share this is my thoughts with the amount of people, and since my pezon is coming up for the day. She's the best.
Also, if you are interested, it's going to be live-streamed! Pay attention at 6pm EST on April 17th.
Three: Spring Nsa fling
Primarily it's this huge school-wide party where everyone happens onto the Pres Grass midday to savor the beautiful early spring, wear comical tanks made by various dance clubs, and boogie around on the awesome painters that Entente Board brings in–like KESHA. It's going to be wonderful and sunlit and any all-around fantastic time, should the last few years are usually any warning.
Have any options coming up in this month? Show me about 'em in the reviews.

Shining a spotlight on parents who have experienced domestic abuse
Amy Hewitt
No one should live in fear. It is not acceptable, not inevitable, and together – we can make it stop.
SafeLives are a national charity dedicated to ending domestic abuse, for good. We combine insight from services, survivors and statistics to support people to become safe, well and rebuild their lives. Since 2005, SafeLives has worked with organisations across the country to transform the response to domestic abuse, with over 60,000 people at highest risk of murder or serious harm now receiving co-ordinated support annually.
Our Spotlights series focuses on different groups that have experienced domestic abuse who may be 'hidden' from services, or face additional barriers to accessing support. Each Spotlight brings together insight from survivors, practitioners, academics and other experts, alongside our own data.
How Spotlights works
We run two series each year for approximately six weeks. Each series features various blogs, podcasts and webinars from professionals in each field – such as academics, organisations across the country and frontline workers.
Spotlights is available on our website, publishing new material throughout the series. We also use our Community platform to host webinars and encourage discussion. With over 1,000 members, the Community provides a space for professionals responding to domestic abuse to share articles, discuss issues and read/write blogs, as well as access free online learning modules and a directory.
We know that Spotlights is regularly speaking to people beyond our traditional audience and engaging them in new ways; we have had over 50,000 page hits since Spotlights launched in 2016 and our policy reports have been downloaded almost 1,300 times. We are excited to build on this success, bring more people to the conversation and to make domestic abuse everyone's business.
What's next?
Our eighth Spotlight launched on 30 May 2019, and focuses on the experiences of survivors who are also parents. We know that often survivors receiving an intervention from Children's Social Care feel that the abuse they have suffered is invisible within that space; that responses to their child(ren) are too separate from support for their own needs.
Therefore, the series will examine how we can improve collaboration between children's social care and the domestic abuse sector, working towards a 'whole system' approach – rather than repeated, poorly sustained interventions with individual family members. Domestic abuse is never all of a person's experience; those affected need the system to see and respond to everything that's happening for the individual and family, from mental health to substance misuse to housing. Agencies working with the family must also respond to the perpetrator – holding them to account and challenging them to change their behavior.
One of the parents we worked with, who has experienced domestic abuse, said 'No one understands what is happening for us as a family. We have eight different workers in our house but each one cares about something different.'
Since we started scoping for this series at the beginning of the year, we have been inundated with associates, academics, social workers, social work managers and colleagues who have all been passionate about this topic and keen to take part.
This series will feature:
- Webinars: including Stacey Stewart on mothers' experiences of domestic abuse and Children's Social Care, and Jodie Das on how we can turn multi-agency working into a reality
- Blogs from Luke Martin on experiences male victims within children's social care, James Rowlands on DHRs, and SafeLives' Emma Retter exploring survivor responses to our Every Story Matters project
- Podcasts from Anna Mitchell (Safe and Together Scotland) and a service manager for our Drive programme
We know that families who have experienced domestic abuse have had difficult experiences with children's social care and other agencies. We also know that social workers and other professionals work incredibly hard under a great deal of pressure, and want to do everything they can to protect children and support non-abusive parents.
We hope that this work can bring people together, find examples of great practice and work towards a multi-agency approach that sees the whole picture for every family.

Ending the First Lesson
Our B&B AA membership expires today and we're not renewing, thus the signs are coming down.
The membership has been useful in getting ourselves established, picking up tips and encouragement from the inspector; and it was a nice warm feeling to get officially graded at 4-star for a few years.
However, and you may not realise that the stars are paid for, the commercial justification of spending several hundred pounds on the right to put signs up, is now very, very minimal. As far as we can tell, we've had the grand total of one booking in four years as a result.
We're making a few changes as a result of being free of the grade criteria - you'll have to bring your own Q-tips after we run out - hope that's OK.

School Uniform?
All around the world, many schools ranging from elementary to high school enforce a
dress code for the students. Many people everywhere, including parents and the students,
disapprove of the use of uniforms for a number of reasons. At the same time, many school
officials will argue of the improvements in education and performances brought in from the
schools due to implementing school uniforms. Even though many students dislike the idea of
having to wear only certain approved clothing every day, supporters of uniforms hold value in
the improvements uniforms brings into education; ultimately, varying opinions about school
uniforms deserve to be respected.
Students, parents, and many other people do not agree with schools implementing school
uniforms and would much rather prefer to be wearing designer clothing. Many students
disapprove of wearing uniforms primarily because of the desire to wear designer clothing.
Wearing clothing that is different shows others the individuality and original style. The style the
uniform provides may not suit certain body types causing stress over the appearance at school
which could be prevented by granting students to wear personally owned clothing. The author
states that "There's also the fact that clothing can help us all-teens especially-express who we
area Jay-z fan or a Steelers fanatic, one of the crowd or someone who dares to be different" and
"Some styles are unflattering to certain body types, which can add another challenge for kids
already struggling with their self image (Tarshis, Lauren pg.23). Some students may not be able
to afford the price of the new uniform, especially in places of poverty where parents and students
struggle to make ends meet. The author argues that " Schools often require families to buy the
uniforms, which can be expensive" (Tarshis, Lauren pg.23).
Lab 2
Aaron Flores
Everyday, students at school consciously go against school uniform to show
independence and desire to return to the once non-regulated dress code. Students mourn over not
being able to express interests through clothing. Parents of these students also seem to disagree
with uniform stating "School uniforms?!?! This is not at all what we thought of when we
enrolled out boys in what we had considered a very progressive school…[uniform] teaches
[students] about being conscious of their own appearance, does strifle the development of that
child's own individuality" (Rckney pg.8).
On the other end of the uniform debate are those who see uniform as a solution to
improve the school environment and performance. Since school uniforms help to regulate the
children of a campus, the job of looking over students becomes an easier task for administrators
and security guards. Safety of the students is one of the greatest priorities that school officials
look to achieve....

ATLANTA -- Tom Glavine joined the Atlanta Braves in 1987, when they were the laughingstock of baseball. He wore the uniform when the Braves found respectability, and lost the World Series in 1991 and 1992. Fitting, then, that he would be the one to pitch Atlanta to a world championship.
Glavine allowed one hit over eight innings, and was among the first to rush onto the field after Mark Wohlers closed out Atlanta's 1-0 victory in Game 6 of the World Series last night -- the first title for the Braves since 1957. Atlanta's only run came on a homer by David Justice in the sixth inning, off ex-Orioles reliever Jim Poole.
Glavine, who won Game 2 of the series, was named the World Series Most Valuable Player. The combined one-hitter was the first in World Series history.
"I told someone yesterday that a perfect scenario was if I got the win," Glavine said, "David Justice got the big hit, and Mark Wohlers got the save."
A great example of how much guts Glavine really has, thinking about a dream finish when many of his teammates fretted over the possibility of blowing games 6 and 7 and losing the World Series again. The nerves hit Justice so hard that he couldn't eat before Game 6.
But all day, Glavine focused on what he needed to do. The Indians had made dramatic adjustments in Game 5 and beaten the unbeatable Greg Maddux, but Glavine told himself repeatedly that he couldn't worry about that too much. Pitch to your strengths. They're home run hitters and they swing for homers; change speeds and keep them off-balance. That's your strength.
"There's no point in coming out in Game 6 of the World Series," he said, "and start trying to fool everybody."
Glavine mixed fastballs and changeups, kept almost everything down in the strike zone, and he struck out five in the first three innings. Through five innings, in the biggest game of his life, Glavine was pitching a no-hitter. Cleveland manager Mike Hargrove said later he couldn't remember the Indians hitting one solid ball off the left-hander all night.
Problem was, the Braves couldn't get a run across. Glavine admitted that he sat in the dugout during the game and wondered if his effort would be wasted.
The players on both sides played this game differently, the managers managed differently. Every pitch meant something extra, every out seemed to present crossroads for the entire series. Tension with each batter. Terrific baseball.
One out into the first inning Mark Lemke singled off Cleveland starter Dennis Martinez, a garden-variety roller through the left side of the infield, and the phone rang in the Indians bullpen. Get Jim Poole up, pitching coach Mark Wiley said, get Chad Ogea up. Two batters into the game and Hargrove was establishing the fact that he would manage as if it were the ninth inning. There would be no meaningless at-bats, no concessions.
Poole and Ogea warmed up again in the second, after Martinez walked Justice and Ryan Klesko to open the inning. Martinez said several times during the World Series that his shoulder bothered him, that he felt stiff. On Friday, he didn't even sound sure that he would be able to start Game 6, and as he warmed up before the game, his elbow ached. Hargrove watched him closely in the second, trying to decide if it was time to call for help.
Javy Lopez, who beat Martinez with a homer in Game 2, popped out. Rafael Belliard slapped a sharp grounder up the middle, just to the shortstop side of second base. Surely a single. Surely.
But Cleveland shortstop Omar Vizquel got a great jump on the ball and reached down as he neared the base and gloved the ball. With his glove, he flipped to second baseman Carlos Baerga, who barehanded as he stepped on second, whirled and fired to first. From Vizquel's glove to Baerga's bare right hand and into the glove of first baseman Eddie Murray. An extraordinary play. A World Series play.
Martinez allowed a walk and a hit with two outs in the fifth, and with left-handed slugger Fred McGriff batting next, Poole finally got the call. He struck out McGriff on three curveballs, ending the mild rally.
Tony Pena blooped a single to center leading off the Cleveland sixth, the first hit off Glavine. No score, no out, runner on first. Bunt situation. Poole, who had never batted in a major-league game, turned in the on-deck circle and looked into the dugout, the question in his eyes: Do you want me to hit?
Hargrove, who will forever be second-guessed for his decisions in this World Series, had a number of options at his disposal. He could've used one of his position players, Alvaro Espinoza or Ruben Amaro, to pinch-hit and get a bunt down. He could've used Game 5 starter Orel Hershiser, regarded as one of baseball's best bunting pitchers when he pitched for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
But Hargrove wanted Poole to pitch in the bottom of the sixth inning and face left-handed hitters Justice and Klesko. Hargrove had left nothing to chance in the first five innings, but he decided to gamble that Poole would get the crucial bunt down.
He didn't. Three pitches, three failed attempts, one out. Glavine's shutout continued. "Our pitchers have been practicing bunting for the last three weeks," said Hargrove.
Justice led off the sixth, thinking that he would not swing at breaking pitches, as McGriff had. Only fastballs. One ball and one strike and Poole threw a fastball about waist high, and Justice unloaded.
Cleveland right fielder Manny Ramirez ran back to the wall and looked up and the ball disappeared over the wall. Justice slowed to a trot, and after crossing home he pumped his fists. A little less dramatic than Kirk Gibson or Joe Carter, but no less effective.
Glavine shut out the Indians through the eighth, but third baseman Jim Thome had hit a deep fly. Glavine felt he was losing control of his off-speed stuff. Atlanta manager Bobby Cox walked up to him in the dugout and asked Glavine if he wanted to pitch the ninth. It was Glavine's call.
"In that situation," Glavine said, "you've got to put your ego aside . . . I was tired."
Not so tired, though, that when Baerga flied out to center fielder Marquis Grissom to end the game, Glavine couldn't run onto the field to celebrate something that had been a long time coming for he and the Atlanta Braves.
Hits and misses
On the field: Dennis Martinez felt pain in his elbow as he warmed up before last night's game, but he pitched 4 2/3 shutout innings before being relieved. "I was hurt," he said. "My elbow was stiff, but I was able to make good pitches when I was in a jam. I was lucky they did not score runs when I was in a jam. I can't second-guess being relieved."
In the dugout: In Game 5, Atlanta manager Bobby Cox yanked shortstop Rafael Belliard for a pinch hitter in a situation when the Braves were two runs down and had a chance to get back into the game. Last night, Belliard was due to hit with the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the fourth, the game scoreless. Cox let Belliard hit, preferring to keep his best defensive shortstop on the field. Belliard flied out, but made a tremendous running catch on a pop foul by Kenny Lofton leading off the ninth.
In the clubhouse: "This club should not be embarrassed," said Indians pitcher Orel Hershiser. "All six games were [closely played] games and a swing of the bat at any time could have made a difference."

P567 Could an escalation of therapy or intervention (ETI) calculator be used to triage appointments for patients with ulcerative colitis?
A. Walsh*1, L. Matini1, R. Kantschuster1, M. Lepetyukh1, R. Nedescu1, J. Wilson1, O. Brain1, R. Palmer1, S. Keshav1, S. Travis1

Conventional follow-up for ulcerative colitis (UC) places demands on health services. Demand might be better managed by targeting appointments at those patients who need therapeutic decisions. The aim was to further validate the TrueColours UC (TCUC) Escalation of Therapy or Intervention (ETI) calculator in an IBD outpatient clinic setting.
TCUC is a comprehensive, web-based program that works through email prompts, allowing patients to enter disease-specific data. In previous work, a logistic regression model using the SCCAI (Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index) and IBD Control-8 (quality of life), collected through TCUC, was used to create an ETI calculator. This calculator produces a probability of escalation of therapy or other intervention at an outpatient appointment (OPA). See Figure 1.
Figure 1. UC Escalation of Therapy Calculator for SCCAI and IBD Control-8
Figure 1. UC Escalation of Therapy Calculator for SCCAI and IBD Control-8
From June to November 2018, a sample of 207 patients with UC under standard hospital follow-up, actively using TCUC was examined. For each OPA, the probability of escalation was calculated using their most recent SCCAI and IBD-Control reports. Clinic letters were assessed for the outcome of escalation of therapy or intervention.
Of the 207 patients, 48 had a total of 53 OPAs over the 6-month period. Most, 33/53 (62%), OPAs resulted in no treatment escalation; 16/53 (30%) had escalation and 4/53 (8%) had de-escalation of therapy. De-escalation included stopping 5-ASA suppositories (
Models that predict the likelihood of the need for escalation of therapy or intervention during an outpatient appointment, based on remotely collected PROMs, have the potential to improve outpatient clinic resource utilisation. Using the ETI calculator, up to 62% of planned outpatient appointments could have been deferred if the agreed threshold for an appointment was a 5% chance of treatment escalation or intervention.

Former Boise State great Tom DeWitz hired to found Ridgevue football program
The Vallivue School District Board of Trustees named former Boise State offensive lineman Tom DeWitz as the first football coach for Ridgevue High on Tuesday.
DeWitz was an Associated Press First-Team I-AA All-American for Boise State in 1987 and a second-team All-American in 1986. The guard also earned a spot on the Bronco Stadium 35th Anniversary team in 2005.
DeWitz returns to the Treasure Valley after spending 11 years as an assistant coach at Washington's Hanford High. He previously was an assistant at California's Palm Desert for 15 years.
Ridgevue opens this fall in Nampa, splitting Vallivue High into two schools. Both will compete at the 4A level.

Full moon in Aries can have us feeling hot and on fire or have us feeling one hell of a hot hot mess! This sign is passionate and driven. It is adventurous and will take risks. It helps us funnel creativity and power! Used in the right way you could catapult to a new level! What is burning inside to come out? Some say that this moon can take you the next platform of creating, meaning blaze the intensity of reaching your actual goals and dreams. A firecracker of inspiration! Aries is the fire starter and it's blazing with confidence and excitement! It fires up the next business venture or project. It pushes you forward to be confident in who you are. "I'm awesome!" Says Aries. There's a little more fire in your step as you either took this energy and stepped it up a notch or you had it blow up in your face.
Known to be self centered Aries can help some of you focus on yourself and look out for yourself so that you are taking care of you and making sure you come out on top and ok. For some of us always putting others first all the time this helped some signs get their self care needs in check. For others known to be self absorbed it amplified the ego and made you a little too proud or overly confident or made you angry if things didn't go your way! Aries can bully when their temper comes out so it will bring some anger to surface that's been boiling. Aries is the ram and it can be very stubborn and want to bully it's way through things rather than follow divine flow. Outbursts or conflicts can be on the rise with this lovely energy as some use it's force in a more destructive way than constructive.
There is great energy being released from you right now, this fire from Aries is purging a part of you! So let it release and burn for good! Try not to be a fire breathing dragon and fire it off at everyone else. Take that flame inward to purge the old DNA that has your ego running programs amuck. Use it as a purifier just like when we burn a crop to improve the overall health of the field. The fire is beneficial and use to cleanse and start the regrowth. Your ego can get out of control very quickly like a bush fire so be Mindful of your actions and feelings. If you get triggered try not to lash out and blame others. Another common characteristic of Aries is to blame everyone else and play the victim. Be careful. Use the fire to clear out the ego rather than inflate it.
Intensity is an understatement with this moon and the energy is off the charts! Are you ready? Some stay home and take cover until Aries full moon passes and I don't blame you. It's a war zone out there for some people and it's easier to fly off the handle to say the least. So some take cover! If you are out and about, feel confident in who you are and the power you hold inside! You are here to do great things and take your life by the horns and ride! You are your own superstar and powerhouse of passion! Feel good about you and all you have accomplished. Look at the positive side of things and power up the independence. Get motivated with all the drive Aries carries in for us and take advantage of it. The fire can be used as a tool and a productive force or a destructive force, be wise on what you set on fire!
Many of us started things in April this year which was Aries sun and those things are now coming to fruition or we have the confidence to do them where it just wasn't moving forward quite yet back then. This full moon in Aries brings things from April to a close and moves us out of that energy we were creating and living in. This comes into our hearts guns blazing! Meaning it ignites us and gives us the drive and energy to thrive in a way that was only thought of or imagined prior back in April. The ram only goes in one direction! The direction it wants to go in! You get me?! You decide which way you want to take your life. Choose a direction and go! The ram doesn't stop until it gets to where it wants to go. Aries is funneling the energy of the stubborn ram so use it to help you move in the direction you wish to go! Aim those horns in the right direction please!
Feeling sexy or passionate? This moon has the abilities to turn on passion that was not there before or that has been dormant for months or years. This powers up our second chakra and opens us up to new relationships, reunited passion in prior relationships where it just couldn't go anywhere before, and a new connection with our own body that can give us confidence to initiate things where we couldn't seem to get any movement. Enjoy this sexy, passionate energy unleashing within you and harness it's gift of pleasure and creativity with your partner.
Open to your greatness. Go in guns blazing and transform your life. Aim your energy in the right direction. Be confident in who you are and what you can achieve.
You're on Fire
