£600,000 festival: Town event gets bigger and better
Published at 11:08, Thursday, 19 April 2012
THIS year's Whitehaven Diamond Jubilee Festival will cost around £600,000 to stage – around six times as much as the very first event back in 1999.
The festival has grown dramatically over the years, from a maritime festival with air and sea displays to now being one of the biggest events in the country.
The first event cost £98,500 but now, with rising prices (not least health and safety) and a dramatic increase in the scale of the event over the years, it has risen to £600,000.
This year's festival (June 1-3) will feature three big harbourside concerts – Katherine Jenkins, the Best of the Seventies and The Charlatans/The Enemy – as well as two large firework displays, the Red Arrows and celebrities such as Coronation Street's Michelle Collins; Strictly Come Dancing's Anton du Beke; and celebrity chefs Jean Christophe Novelli and Ainsley Harriott.
Since 1999 the events have cost a total of £5.8million and that has been helped by £2million in sponsorship. The remainder has to be generated through concert ticket sales, together with selling programmes and wristbands.
Festival organiser Gerard Richardson said: "I cannot stress the importance that the sale of concert tickets and wristbands play in financing the event.
"It has always been our priority to keep the event largely free and that's why we consider our sponsors and concert-goers as family.
"The harbour is like Wembley Stadium during the festival. If we brought in a charge it would change the event and we would lose that magical atmosphere and we are not prepared to do that.
"We have a national-scale event and Whitehaven cannot afford to lose that. But we do rely on people to help us by purchasing concert tickets, wristbands and programmes and we are grateful for that."
Gerard said the festivals over the years had generated a total spend in the area of around £45million. And, he says, the sponsorship the festival gets is invaluable.
"Since NMP and Britain's Energy Coast have come on board as our main backers, they have been fantastic and have allowed us to have a phenomenal turnaround in being able to man-manage the event," said Gerard.
Figures from a recent audit suggest that such an event would cost around £720,000 to organise and market if it was not run by volunteers, says Gerard.
"The bulk of people in this area are very proud of the event and from day one we have had a phenomenal turnout. And now it's gone beyond that with people also coming from all over the UK."
The national media coverage it has brought to the town and West Cumbria, with publicity from shows such as Coast and The Lakes, is worth millions itself, he added.
A book specially put together last year by Jean Christophe Novelli and Gerard entitled A Mad Frog and an Englishman raised £15,000 towards the festival. And they are bringing out another one this year which will be on sale during the festival and then be launched nationally at the BBC Good Food Show, at Birmingham NEC, in June. Entitled A Mad Frog and an Englishman go Fishing, it will provide a fine collection of recipes and feature areas such as Whitehaven, Ravenglass and Muncaster.

text: 26 November 2012 Volunteers Help Wildlife at Gold Creek Valley Posted by: Brian Bovard | 1 comment | Share: Brian Bovard, Communications Coordinator Volunteers planted to restore the area's native vegetation (Photo: Jen Watkins, Conservation Northwest) Some outstanding members of Defenders' Wildlife Volunteer Corps were lucky enough to join with Conservation Northwest, the Forest Service and the general public as they finished up a long summer of habitat restoration adjacent to Gold Creek near Snoqualmie Pass in the state of Washington. This is a great, ongoing project as dedicated groups continue their work to restore wildlife corridors created by the Washington Department of Transportation, including the construction of two underpasses that will connect habitat for wildlife like elk, cougar, black bear and deer, and allow them to safely cross Interstate 90. It was a chilly day, but that didn't stop our enthusiastic group as they planted more than 1,000 native snowberry, strawberry and spirea (hardhack) plants to help restore the soil and habitat that had been disturbed by the dumped gravel from the initial construction of the interstate more than a decade ago. The gravel and invasive vegetation that now dominate the landscape make it very difficult for native vegetation to take root, so the pre-grown native plants that the volunteers planted will provide immediate benefits to the area's wildlife in the form of food and shelter, as well as helping to restore soil productivity in the long run so that native seeds can grow more easily. The volunteers also helped remove some of the noxious infestation of invasive St. John's Wort and Oxeye Daisy that have taken root over the last 15 years, which will give the newly-planted vegetation room to grow. Volunteers hard at work (Photo: Jen Watkins, Conservation Northwest) We here at Defenders would like to thank all the dedicated volunteers who came out to help the native wildlife in the area. This project will benefit bull trout, black bear, cougar, elk, deer, pika, river otter and numerous other wildlife species. This location is also within the North Cascades grizzly bear recovery zone, and a vital corridor to the long-term recovery of gray wolves and wolverines. If you've got a project in your area that would benefit wildlife, and think that Defenders might be able to help out, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Indigent Defense-- Gary Parker: 2003 Champion of Indigent Defense Award Recipient Stephen Bright
According to NACDL's recent report surveying the various methods utilized by states to determine when an individual is indigent and entitled to appointed counsel, a majority of the states look to the Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG) to find out whether a defendant qualifies for court-appointed counsel. On the surface, it would seem that this might be an objective yardstick of indigence, but in practice it proves to be prone to manipulation in myriad ways. For example, states can drastically reduce the number of eligible defendants by pegging eligibility to an unreasonably low multiple of the FPG, resulting in a self-created constitutional escape hatch absolving states from having to provide counsel to individuals making as little as $11,670 annually. The report, Redefining Indigence: Financial Eligibility Guidelines for Assigned Counsel, is available on NACDL's website.
Although budget cuts have crushed morale in public defender offices, attorneys in those offices continue their extraordinary efforts to defend the indigent accused. Peggy Cross-Goldberg and Gregory Geist exemplify these notable efforts.

Independent legislator to withdraw support to AAP government
Independent legislator Rambeer Shokeen Monday said he would withdraw support to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Delhi as water and power issues have not been addressed by it.
"(Delhi Chief Minister) Arvind Kejriwal promised that our demands will be fulfilled. Till now, nothing has happened so I am going to withdraw my support," said Shokeen, who went to meet Lt. Governor Najeeb Jung but could not submit his letter withdrawing support as Jung was in a meeting.
"I had gone to LG office today (Monday). But he was busy in meetings. Whenever he would give me the appointment, I will give the letter to him," Shokeen told IANS.
Janata Dal-United legislator Shoaib Iqbal, Shokeen and expelled AAP legislator Vinod Kumar Binny Feb 2 told Kejriwal to meet their demands for slashing power and water tariff and enhancing women's security, among others, else they would withdraw support to his government.
Iqbal and Shokeen met Kejriwal Feb 3 and claimed that the chief minister had assured them of action on their demands.
"It's been long and he (Kejriwal) is not even responding to my calls," Shokeen said.
The AAP won 28 seats in the 70-member house in the December 2013 Delhi assembly elections and formed the government with the outside support of the Congress, which won eight seats.
The BJP won 31 seats and the Akali Dal and Janata Dal-United one each, while an Independent candidate was also elected.
Of the AAP's 28 lawmakers, one was elected speaker while Binny was expelled for anti-party activities, bringing the party's effective strength down to 26.

When I was little and my Parisian feminist grandmother asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I answered "dictator".
Was it Haile Selassie who wore the animal skins? I also loved Gaddafi's Richard Gere style white uniform and all those fun little ornamental medals. Violet Wisp seems to think I'm a terrible snob with difficulties regarding the English language. This is highly unusual, as most people just think I'm a terrible snob (approximately once per day).
At this point in time I feel like peacocking said snobbery. If for nothing else, to subvert notions of value.

Having just read a thread from one of our members about losing motivation to get out with his camera I thought we should try and discover what motivates us to keep those apertures open!!
Me and hubby have a very nice caravan which gets us to some great places not too far away, even if it is only for the weekend. I work ridiculously long hours, one day off a fortnight and have to make the most of weekends off. To escape for a couple of days is bliss and our weekends are always based on good photographic opportunities for me, mountain biking for hubby. Without our caravan I probably wouldn't use my camera half as much. Even if the weather is a bit rubbish I take all my books and mags so I can at least read about photograhy!
Look forward to the day I can get a laptop then I will be able to work on my images at the end of the day without having to wait 'til we get home
What gets you out and about and inspired?
Any weather as long as there is a great big mountain to climb.

Light, light, light and more light.
I'm lucky enough to live in a fabulous place so when the light turns up I just have to get out into it with the camera.
spillaging would of been my chosan made up word for the quote
Given work and childcare, it is very very rare that I get the opportunity to go out specifically with the intention of doing photography alone (1 day so far in last year), so I tend to take my camera everywhere and just photograph things that strike me in the day - if anything does. Hence photos of office, train station, university buildings, family outings, view on walk from picking kids up from school and nursery. Nowadays its just a part of life- which since I returned to photography after long break in order to stop smoking is probably good.
Bugs, wildebeest herds, huge ones, in my back yard; gohers(ground squirrels really); looking forward to the return of the dragonflies and damsels. Last week it was -21C here with a -35 windchill, today it is +15C, and I'll be soaking up some vitamin D with a good book.

All the news from the annual Google I/O event, including the latest on Android.
The iPad Air 2 is a nice refinement and finesse of last year's model, with a bevy of tweaks, enhancements, a much faster processor, and the welcome addition of Touch ID. Simply put: it's still the gold standard for tablets.
The iPhone 6 delivers a bigger screen while remaining easy to handle, with plenty of features to satisfy everyone -- and the promise of Apple Pay on the horizon to potentially sweeten the deal even further.
The Sony Xperia Z3 is Sony's most formidable to date with a formidable display and promising features that easily give Android competition from HTC, LG and Samsung a run for their money.
Thanks to its stellar performance and affordable price, the Nexus 7 is the Android tablet to get.
Pricing not available
Although it's a disappointment Sony hasn't increased the screen resolution along with its size, and the camera's quirks are rather odd, the Xperia Z3 Compact's improved design, vast amounts of power, decent battery life and waterproof body help it maintain its position as one of the best mini flagships around.
One of last year's best, the iPad Mini 3 is still a compelling choice despite the lack of upgrades. However, the nearly identical and significantly cheaper iPad Mini 2 is a smarter buy.
Certainly an acquired taste, The Evil Within is sure to satiate the horror fanatic. For those with an appetite for an investment-heavy exploit through the mind of a madman, The Evil Within is more than capable, even with a few bumps along the way.
The Motorola Moto X hits all the right notes, delivering stock Android inside a powerful high-end handset that you can customize yourself.
The smooth performing and feature-filled Amazon Fire HD 6 is unrivaled in the bargain tablet category.
It's not the best Borderlands experience out there, but The Pre-Sequel is a solid entry that will satisfy Borderlands diehards most. If you've never played a Borderlands game though, try starting with Borderlands 2.

Winning back the heart of your boyfriend after a breakup takes timing and the right moves. However, before making any moves, you need to be in a position of power first.
If you're not, every move you make to get your ex boyfriend back will be met with resistance. And what's worse is that you'll feel like you're just stumbling along trying to piece together a broken relationship.
It's crucial that every move you make is done from a position of power. Don't just take action, have confidence in everything you say and do and make your actions follow suit.
It's important to note here that with the breakup, your boyfriend now owns the relationship and its destiny. In doing so, he's in the position of power, not you. The deck is stacked against you… and as long as that's the case, you'll never be able to change your situation.
Get Your Ex Boyfriend Back By Reclaiming Your Position
The following is fundamental to get your ex boyfriend back: What you really want to accomplish here is to change his mind set about how he sees you. It's important that he sees you as someone worth dating and not just an ex.
Get him to see you as his equal instead of something to be controlled.
I'm sure right now you're asking yourself the question : "How do I regain control of a relationship that's finished?"
In reality it's not possible. However, what you can do this instant is take a little control away from your ex by getting his attention.
Right after the breakup, your boyfriend is going to have a certain opinion of you - and it's something that you'll need to change quickly. His mind is going to be made up unless you give him a reason to change it. Luckily for you there are several ways to get your ex to notice you again and at the same time realize he made a mistake by breaking up with you.
Understanding these methods and how they work will put you on the right track to getting him back.
How to Get Your Ex Boyfriend Back By Knowing What You Really Want
Why do you want to get back together with someone who dumped you?
If you haven't already asked yourself that question, now's a good time to do it. It's probably not because you love him. Do you miss him? I'll bet the reason you want him back is much simpler; it's because he rejected you.
Take a moment to think about that.
I'm almost certain that your immediate reaction to the breakup was to try and keep the relationship alive. But did you stop and really think about it? Maybe you're better off apart? The mistake you made here was that your response to the breakup was natural but reflexive and defensive.
It's natural to want to be loved and it's also natural to want what we can't have. The instant the relationship was over was the instant you wanted to be loved by him but also wanted what you could no longer have.
Do you want to know a secret? The door swings both ways. This is great for you because this tiny little trick can have your ex eating out of your hand while you control him like a puppet.
Inside The Mind of Your Ex Boyfriend
"When I know a girl wants me back, I'm not interested in her at all. The fact that she's still chasing me is a reminder why I broke it off."
"But something strange happens when she stops chasing me. She becomes instantly attractive again. Not being able to have her anymore makes you do a total 180 from when you could have her any time you wanted."
If you want to get your ex boyfriend back and turn the tables on your relationship, the first thing you need to do is stop seeing yourself as someone who is weak and helpless. You might not see it in the mirror right away, but you're strong, confident and have something valuable to offer… harness this confidence in yourself because it's the key to getting him back.
Another thing you need to do to get your ex boyfriend back is to change your mind set about the "control" your boyfriend has. Even though he's the one who ended it, he doesn't have total control over everything…and by that I mean you. There are things you can do that will influence the way he sees you. And the faster you stop worrying about him and start working on yourself, the faster you'll catch his eye.
The last thing I should mention to you here when it comes to get your ex boyfriend back , is to not dwell on the breakup. So your boyfriend broke up with you… it happens every day to women around the world. This doesn't give you the right to go around and throw a pity party for yourself. Go back and read the part about seeing the breakup through your boyfriend's eyes. Crying, begging and chasing after him won't get it done. As you work to restore your confidence, your actions and your words will follow suit and your boyfriend WILL notice you.
Using the Dating Secret to Get Your Ex Boyfriend Back
The goal here is to make your ex feel like you're no longer interested in him. Up to this point, this is the exact opposite of what you've been doing, but I guarantee that as soon as you put the brakes on and stop chasing him he's going to start worrying.
This simple yet effective ploy will make it so your ex can't get you out of his head. You might not think that he's all that interested in what you're currently up to, but you'd be surprised how fast and effective this is.
Since your ex is the one who broke things off and you've been chasing him, he knows he can have you back at his convenience. This puts him in a position of power like I talked about before, because now he's allowed to do whatever he wants whenever he wants and he knows that you're sitting by the phone waiting for him to call.
However, when you take control and start doing your own thing, something wonderful happens. You're ex has to face the reality that he could lose you. What's even better is that "breaking up" with your ex puts him on the receiving end of the rejection. Now I understand that you're not technically dating, but you've now broken contact with him and taken away any chance he has of getting you whenever he wants.
In the beginning, your ex broke it off. But now the deck is stacked in your favor. This is a key component to getting your ex back because it forces your ex to take a step back and decide if he really wants you out of his life for good. What you're doing here is making your ex want you by not wanting him.
There are lots of things you can do to get your ex boyfriend back and understanding these methods will help you accelerate the process of having your ex call you back or contact you.
Learn more about these methods here .
Winning back the heart of your boyfriend after a breakup takes timing and the right moves. However, before making any moves, you need to be in a position of power first.

On Impact Wrestling, the mystery investor was revealed, and it turned out to be none other than former WWE star MVP. He showed up in a suit on the entrance ramp at the end of the episode with Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards by his side. The segment signified a change in TNA.
After Royal Rumble 2014 went off the air, Batista got into it with a fan on his way back up the entrance ramp. He threatened to snap the person in half, before the rest of the WWE audience turned on him. Batista then added further fuel to the fire by mocking Daniel Bryan at the top of the rant.
It has been approximately 21 years now since Kerry Von Erich has passed away, but that has not stopped Kevin Von Erich from remembering his little brother's birthday. The former WCCW star posted a message about it on his official Twitter account.
ESPN is working with Kevin Von Erich to produce a documentary on the legendary wrestling family. It is set to air sometime in 2014.

My new scale gives me a muscle mass percentage of 37.7 but I've no idea of what is a good % for my age/sex/height. Does anyone know of a muscle mass table that I can look up? I've googled it but I can't find one.

average for a female is 36% so you're right about on target. That's for the average of all adult females though, you guys can have 40 or 45% and be extremely healthy. More important is the Body Fat %. I.E. even if your muscle mass % is high, if your BF% is high as well, it means you could have less bone density than you'd want. For women, it's a good idea to have your bone density tested every few years as women can become highly susceptible to osteoporosis later in life, and the best time to catch and reverse that is when you are young. The next time you schedule a doctors visit, ask him if you can have your bone density tested.
since you are 30 Kate, this is a great time to have it done, as you are still at an age where you can easily build bone density through proper diet and weight training / resistance exercise. Once you get into your late 30's and early 40's it becomes far more difficult for the body to increase bone density (still possible, but it's far more difficult).

Thank you for your reply, my body fat is 25% which I believe is ijust inside the normal range for a woman of my age, although I'm working to reduce it a little. What is involved in a bone density test? I'm in the UK so I doubt its something I'd be able to have done on the NHS.

it's a laying down scan. Doesn't take that long. Most full medical facilities should be able to do it, I know the ones in the US do. It can also show any abnormalities in your bone structure. It's a good thing to have done every few years.

The average muscle mass is 36%?! I have the omron body composition scales with the handle bar and it measures "skeletal muscle" - is that the same as muscle mass? Because mine is only 31% but at the gym their toning leaflet said the average is 28% so Ithought I was ok? Lol if I should be at 36% then I have lots of work to do!

The more the better (to a point). different sources will have different amounts as the average. My sources list skeletal muscle mass averages for adult females as 36% (as a % of total mass), but depending on what yours takes as it's study group, it could be different. Maybe they go by a certain age group, or a certain demographic...etc. This can seriously alter the results. I'd say anyone with between 30 and 45% muscle mass (female) is probably doing ok. Men should be around 40 to 50% by the way. I have a nutrition college text at home that has the percentages, I can look that up when I get home from work. I don't remember off the top of my head, but that book is one of the "bibles" of human anatomy currently, so I generally trust it's facts. I'll post what I find later today.
FYI the numbers I got are from "Human Anatomy and Physiology" (7th edition) ISBN #: 0805353879

Can I jump here, as I've just got new scales too and am confused about the same thing. At first I thought it was giving me the muscle mass percentage (42.4), but I think that was the weight of my muscle mass in kilos; my total weight is 54.2 kilos. Is it really possible that so much of me is muscle??? I know I've been doing a lot of heavy lifting, but really!
Other interesting readings are 17.6% body fat (Eeek! Do I have to gain fat?) and visceral fat = 3 (1 - 12 is healthy).

Ideal Weight and Muscle Mass for Height
Comments May 26, 2011 | By Dana George Dana George has been a freelance writer since 2005, penning numerous articles, Web content and marketing collateral for both print and online. His articles have appeared in "Healthy Knowledge" magazine, "Minneapolis Metro Mix" and "Meefers." George holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Wisconsin.
Your ideal body weight can be roughly estimated based on your height and body frame size. Muscle mass, on the other hand, isn't as easily determined, especially when referring to an ideal. Muscle mass isn't a good indicator of health, so it's better to look at your body fat percentage or waist circumference to determine your risk of certain health complications.
Body Weight
The National Institutes of Health provides a rough estimate of desirable body weight for height. Women should weigh approximately 100 lbs. at 5 feet and then another 5 lbs. for each inch over this height. Men should weigh a bit more, coming in at 106 lbs. at 5 feet and then an extra 6 lbs. for each inch over this height. This means at a height of 5 feet 10 inches tall, a female should weigh around 150 lbs., whereas a male should weigh 166 lbs.
Body Frame
This calculation, however, doesn't account for differences in body frame size. Small frames deduct 10 percent from this desirable weight, while 10 percent is added for large frames. Females have a small frame with a wrist of less than 5 ½ inches at a height of under 5-foot-2, less than 6 inches at a height between 5-foot-2 and 5-foot-5 and less that 6 ¼ at a height over 5-foot-5. Women have a large frame when wrist size is greater than 5 ¾ at a height of under 5-foot-2, greater than 6 ¼ inches at a height between 5-foot-2 and 5-foot-5 and less that 6 ½ at a height over 5-foot-5. A small frame for men is usually a wrist size of less than 6 ½ inches and a large frame is a measurement over 7 ½.
Muscle Mass
Unlike weight, muscle mass doesn't have a so-called ideal based on your height or even body frame size. In fact, muscle mass varies greatly from person to person, based largely on physical activity. Instead of focusing on muscle itself, most medical professionals defer to body fat to determine if your muscle mass is at an ideal percentage for your height. Women should have a body fat percentage somewhere between 20 and 21 percent. Men should have far less, coming in at 13 to 17 percent. Talk to a doctor or physiologist to determine this percentage.
Fat Distribution
Besides body weight and body fat percentage, it's also important to look at your distribution of body fat, explains the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. It's especially problematic for people to carry excess fat around their midsection. When women have a waist circumference over 35 inches, it places them at a greater risk of developing high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, heart disease and type 2 diabetes. For men, these risks increase with a waistline of over 40 inches

This is so weird. My visceral fat is 2, and my muscle mass is 42.3, yet my body fat is 30.4%. So I guess the first two values are good, but I really need to lose some body fat! We're all built differently I guess.

From Earth Science Picture Of The Day; January 6, 2014:
Cross-Bedding In Navajo Sandstone
Photographer: Daniel Gilmore; Summary Authors: Daniel Gilmore; Jim Foster
The photo above shows a large section of cross-bedding in Navajo Sandstone found at Snow Canyon State Park in southwestern Utah. The tilted or inclined layering is related to how the sand sediments were deposited rather than to tectonic processes such as folding or faulting. Here, Aeolian processes played a role in the inclination of the layering — sand dunes migrated down-wind.
Cinder cones, lava tubes, lava flows and sand dunes can also be found within the confines of Snow Canyon State Park. The lava tubes are large enough to walk into and deep enough to need flashlights to explore even in daylight. Photo taken on June 14, 2013 during a geology field camp with the University of Florida.

Isolating the effects of a coaching program on business impact data is one of the most challenging, yet necessary, steps in the ROI Methodology. When addressed credibly, this step links the coaching process directly to business impact.
Other factors are always present. In almost every situation, multiple factors affect business results. During the time that coaching programs are implemented, many other functions within the organization may be attempting to improve the same metrics addressed by coaching program. For example, marketing and sales programs are designed to affect revenue, and, while coaching may help a marketing or sales employee positively affect revenue, the marketing or sales program itself also may do that. In addition to internal factors, external factors may influence business results during the time that coaching is occurring.
Without isolation, there is only evidence, not proof. Without taking steps to show the contribution of coaching, there is no clear business linkage. Instead, there is only evidence that coaching may have made a difference. When business results improve during coaching, it is possible that other factors may have contributed to that improvement. The proof comes from isolating the effects of the coaching initiative.
Other factors have protective owners. The owners of the other functions that influence business results are convinced that their processes or programs make the difference. For example, marketing and sales managers probably firmly believe that any increase in sales is entirely due to their efforts, and they often present a compelling case to management to support their claim. Likewise, the information services department likely believes that their technology changes make the primary difference in efficiency gains within an organization. They, like marketing, often present a compelling case to management. Other processes or programs, such as performance improvement, reward systems, and job redesign, all have protective owners, and their arguments are plausible. Therefore, owners of coaching programs are under pressure to build a credible argument for their case to claim value added to the organization.
To do it right is not easy. The challenge of isolating the effects of a coaching program is critical and can be done, but it is not easy for complex programs, especially when strong-willed owners of other processes are involved. It takes determination to address this situation every time a return-on-investment study is conducted.
Common myths about isolating the effects of coaching
Several myths about isolating the effects of a coaching program often create concerns, confusion, and frustration with the process. Some professionals further complicate this matter by suggesting that isolation is not necessary. Here are the most common myths related to isolation:
Programs such as coaching are complementary to other processes. Therefore, you should not attempt to isolate the effects of coaching. Coaching programs are complementary to other factors, all of which drive results. If a project sponsor needs to understand the relative contribution of a coaching initiative, this issue must be addressed. If accomplished properly, it will show how all the complementary factors are working together to drive the improvements.
Other functions in the organization do not isolate the effects of their programs and projects. While some functions do not grapple with this issue because they try to make a convincing case that the improvement is related to their own processes, others are addressing the issue. A credible approach to address this issue is necessary. Notice the next time you complete a customer satisfaction survey after you make a purchase or open a new account. Do they ask you why you made the purchase? If yes, they are trying to isolate the results of multiple variables.
If you cannot use a research-based control group, then you should not attempt this step. Although a well-constructed control group is the most credible approach, it will not apply in the vast majority of coaching situations. Consequently, other methods must be used to isolate effects. The problem does not go away just because it is not possible to use the most desired or favorite isolation technique. The challenge is to find other isolation techniques that are effective and that will work, even if they are not as credible as the control group method.
The stakeholders will understand the linkage, so you do not need to attempt to isolate the effects of coaching on business impact measures. Unfortunately, stakeholders see and understand what is presented to them. Absence of information makes it difficult for them to understand the linkage, particularly when others are claiming full credit for their improvement.
Estimates of improvement provide no value. The worst-case scenario is to tackle this issue with the use of estimates from those individuals who understand the process the most. Although this is a last choice, it may provide value and be a credible process, particularly when the estimates are adjusted for the error of the estimate. Estimates are used routinely in a variety of functions throughout organizations.
Ignore the issue. Maybe they won't think about it. Stakeholders are becoming more sophisticated on this issue, and they are aware of multiple influences. If no attempt is made to isolate the effects of coaching, stakeholders will assume that other factors have had a tremendous effect, and maybe the entire effect. Thus, credibility of coaching results deteriorates.
When funding is provided to different functions in the organization—with different process owners—there is always a struggle to show, and sometimes even to understand, the connection between what they do and the results. If you do not tackle this issue, others will—leaving the coaching program with less than desired budgets, resources, and respect.

iDicto Voice Recorder Has Great Features but Needs Refinement
Developer: DAVA Consulting, LLC
Price: $0.99 Download on the App Store
At last count, the App Store featured something like 60 apps with voice recording capabilities. DAVA Consulting's iDicto happens to be among one of the better ones I've tried for simple voice-note-taking.
As with virtually every voice recording app I've tried, iDicto is straight forward and easy to use. Press a button, record, replay, pause — you know the drill. What you want is a voice recorder that works as easily as (or better than) the real deal and this app does that.
iDicto tags each recording with a name, time, date, length of recording and format. You can also add one of several icons and sort the list of recordings by priority. You can name your recording, or let the app do it with Record0001, Record0002 etc. and you can rename your recordings, sort and group them and append audio to previously recorded notes. I like not having to name my recordings first, like some apps I've tried.
When you're done recording, you can email them or sync them via Wi-Fi (over the same network) to your Mac or PC desktop. When I tried syncing to my PC, the iPhone and PC found each other within seconds and up popped a list of recordings inside my Web browser. It would be nice to also be able to manage the recordings on the iPhone, for example, to delete them from the iPhone but it's a one-way street.
To email a recording, DAVA's app uploads the recording to its server and then passes a link back to you that you can send to someone via email. The link is valid for 10 days. What happens to the audio that's sitting on DAVA's server is unclear. I'd be wary of uploading anything sensitive for just that reason. Of course, you can always send the recording to your desktop and attach it to an email.
iDicto features two audio recording formats: Audio Interchange File Format and Core Audio Format. The difference is AIFF files are limited to 4 GB, or 15 minutes of audio. CAF supports an unlimited number of minutes of audio. I haven't seen that feature before. iDicto also has low-good-best audio quality settings. I found the recording quality at the best setting acceptable. I sure wish it were louder, though.
The graphical interface is nicely rendered, and for the most part, one of the better-looking ones I've seen. What I really dislike is the recording and playback buttons — both are garish red blobs.
I'd like having some sort of indicator to give me an idea of just how well my recording is going — simulated LEDS, VU meter — something. I want to know the device is well-positioned and operating at its optimal ability. It would be nice to have the app record start and stop when someone is speaking, like a physical recorder, but that's not a deal breaker. What would be fabulous is having the ability to record telephone conversations, but I don't know if that's even technically feasible.

By Lucy Halverson
New staff members and a host of volunteers have the Lyman County Museum open and ready to receive visitors from far and near.
Melanie Bowers, recently hired as the new museum curator, is responsible for the day to day operation, scheduling of staff and volunteers, and the arrangement of new displays in addition to a host of managerial type duties. Melanie and her husband Tom have lived in Vivian for over two years.
According to Melanie some of the changes around the museum this summer include organizing research material in the southwest corner of the main building into a more visitor friendly area. \"By placing a couple of new file cabinets back to back a sturdy, counter height work area was formed that is large enough to hold open books and old newspapers more easily,\" added Bowers.
A new display of original items from the Lyric Theater has been formed. Also, the depot display is currently under construction. Items that would have been in or around the town\'s depot are being rounded up for the display.
The museum will be open Sunday July 4th regular Sunday hours which are 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Area residents are encouraged to stop and visit the museum this summer.
Part-time staffers at the museum this summer include Doreine Anderson, Kennebec, Justine Perry, and Meghan Downs both of Presho. Community volunteers include Philip Caslin, Bonnie Diehm, Norma J. Johnson, Gay Murphy, Bette Reumann, Wanda Sweeney, Verna Young, Lonis and Lois Wendt, and Wanda Lee Sweeney.
