Haines Shoe House
The Haines Shoe House is a shoe-shaped house in Hallam, Pennsylvania, along the Lincoln Highway.
Modeled after a work boot, the house was built by shoe salesman Mahlon Haines in 1948 as a form of advertisement.[1] Among his various companies, he owned a company that likes to claim that they raised boots "hoof-to-hoof" because the company did the boot making process starting with raising the cattle.[2] The house, which is 25 feet (7.6 m) tall and contains five stories, was once rented out to couples, and is now open for public tours. It is located on Shoe House Road, next to a shoe-shaped doghouse.[1][3] Haines had the building built by handing a work boot to an architect saying, "Build me a house like this."[3] He lived in the shoe house for a short while but ended up moving into a house across the street. The renters were served by a maid and butler and then received free pairs of shoes when they left. A Shoe House vacation contest was held which was won in 1950 and had all expenses paid by Mahlon Haines. Fire escapes were added to the house in the 1960s.[3]
The living room is located in the toe, the kitchen is located in the heel, two bedrooms are located in the ankle, and an ice cream shop is located in the instep. When Mahlon decided to sell the house, it started going to ruin until it was bought by his granddaughter Annie Haines Keller in 1987.[4] The current owners are Jeff and Melanie Schmuck who bought the house in 2015. The house received a small renovation and new paint in 2007.[3] There is also a stained glass panel that shows Mahlon holding a pair of shoes with a message below it that reads, "Haines the Shoe Wizard".[4] During the 2004 opening after the Farabaughs bought the property, boy scouts ran Easter egg hunts there. Mahlon's family told stories about their relative and an author sold copies of his book The Life and Times of Mahlon Haines.[3]
The Shoe House was visited in the eighth season of the reality television series The Amazing Race and was featured on HGTV's What's With That House?. The Farabaughs were happy about the publicity though not permitted to talk about the house's appearance on The Amazing Race until two years later.[5]

Held each October, National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) is a national campaign that celebrates the talents and contributions of America's workers with disabilities and educates employers on ways to foster a flexible and inclusive workplace.
Of course, one key element of an inclusive workplace is the commitment to adopting accessible technology that can be used successfully by all employees and job seekers, including those with disabilities. In that spirit, PEAT is enthusiastically observing NDEAM and encouraging employers, technology providers and tech users to do the same. Read on to learn how you can take part in NDEAM—and carry its spirit forward all year long.
In celebration of NDEAM, PEAT is seeking stories that demonstrate the power of accessible technology in fueling the employment success of people with disabilities. If you are an employee with a disability or an employer with experiences to share in this area, please submit a short personal statement below.
Aaron T. Baier:
"Technology used to be as helpful as it was isolating. Now, accessibility is a feature built into many mainstream devices. Because of this, I've grown in my job over the past 10 years and continue to expand and enhance my own capacity as well as strengthen the organization that I work for. Accessible technology allows me to manage a full-time job, part-time graduate degree program, and still maintain a happy personal life with my family."
While NDEAM is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP), its true spirit lies in grassroots activities and celebrations held in businesses and communities across the nation. Now is your chance to take part in NDEAM 2015 and use it as an opportunity to spotlight the importance of accessible workplace technology practices! Get started now:
Looking for a way to learn, share best practices, and mark NDEAM from the comfort of your own computer? Just log on to Twitter on October 28 from 2:00 - 2:30 ET, when PEAT will be moderating a Twitter chat on leading accessible technology practices designed to help all workers and advance the employment of people with disabilities. #PEATtalks

Potatos Cured Our Cough during the Holidays
Hello everyone, how are you this Holiday Season! You know the worst thing that can happen, is to get sick when traveling, during the holidays! Sometimes, traveling around all those people spreads germs faster than you can run. Since I am getting on a plane in the morning, I thought I would share my potato cure with those of you who also might be traveling! My youngest son was always sick when he was small ~ he has asthma, and his colds would always turn into pneumonia. We must have spent 100 nights in the children's emergency room. It never failed, he caught a cold, runny nose, cough, sore throat and bam it was pneumonia the next day!
I am not a naturalist by any means I am that girl who calls the doctor for antibiotics; all the time, for everything. I just think they work for us, and I even try to have some on hand whenever we are traveling. However, sometime it is really tough to find antibiotics when we are traveling.
One summer vacation; I was just at my wit's end. My little boy had pneumonia again, and again. He spent half his holiday on a breathing machine. I really did not know how to make him better. As a mom it kills you to see your kids hurt or sick!
I am married to a Lithuanian who does not believe in medicine, and won't take any unless he is dying. I had tried every medicine under the sun, been to every doctor, and I was ready to give up on ever getting him healthy. That day my hubby came to me and said ~ My mom said boil some potatoes, mash them, and put them on his chest. First of all his mom is a doctor, specialist in ears, nose and throat BUT I was not having any of it. I actually laughed and said "are you crazy Potatoes ~ what is that going to do?!" As I tried to call doctors and read about medicines that could cure his cough and congestion; the hubby went about boiling some potatoes.
He took 2 potatoes, skin on, diced them, covered them with water, and boiled them until they were soft enough to mash-up. This takes about 30 mins depending on the size of your potatoes. Once they were soft he mashed them up with a potato masher. He then took all the mashed potatoes , put them into a dish towel, and rubber banded it to hold the potatoes inside. He placed that bag of potatoes (or potato poultice) onto my son's chest and left it there for over an hour. He reheated it in the microwave a second time and put it back on his chest again. Of course I am still laughing thinking, whatever! Then something amazing happened. No really, like a freaking miracle. My sons color started coming back, his chest congestion eased up, and he started to breathe without the machine. Ok, it did not happen instantly, but it did happen within a few hours! I thought OH MY GOODNESS. So what did we do … we made some more potatoes! Within a 24 hour period his cough was almost gone, he was breathing again, and we could enjoy our vacation. YIPEEE!
So, now you can imagine what we do now whenever anyone has a chest cold or cough that just won't go away. This is especially handy when traveling because sometimes it is hard to find a doctor who will see you on vacation. If you do find a doctor it will cost you a pretty penny that is for sure! I had to apologize to the hubby, because he and his mom were right. After this "miracle" I started to research why this would work or help cure congestion. Come to find out that potatoes can pull out toxins from your body ~ almost as if they absorb them. I was impressed, and have to tell you it works. So if you get sick on vacation don't worry about the doctor, just run to the local grocery and grab some potatoes!
- Chop two unpeeled potatoes into 1 inch cubes.
- Boil the potato cubes. Mash them.
- Spread the potatoes onto a dish towel (or cheesecloth).
- Test the temperature with your hand, making sure it's not too hot. If it's too hot add another dish towel around it, removing it later once it cools down a little.
- Apply the poultice directly to the chest.
- Remove the poultice once it is cold.
- You can microwave it a second time if needed.
Other things you can do are, remind your kids to wash their hands frequently! Don't put their hands in their mouth (ewww yuck) after riding on an airplane or public transportation! Try not to touch everything, my kids want to touch everything, and all I see are GERMS! Carry hand sanitizer and use it frequently ~ the taste is not so good so it will help the hands out of their mouths!
Enjoy your holidays

In your private home you will enjoy dining on the lanai overlooking the private pool. In the morning look out the rooftop deck for a stunning view of the sun rise. A 10 minute walk up the beach will take you to town where there are many restaurants and shopping to excite anyone's tastes. If you prefer we have a private driver you can call if you want to get a ride into town and he can take you on any adventure you want like Whale watching, mountain climbing, snorkeling, you name it! His name is Joseph and he has an 8 passanger van with leather seats and airconditioning. It was just purchased December 2011. You can prepare your own meals or you can have someone prepare them for you for a small fee. Watch the video and it will show you the inside and outside of the house along with your walk from the house to the beach. The master bedroom with the king size bed has an attached full bathroom. One guest room has a bunk bed with the top a twin mattress the bottom is a full mattress then you can pull out another twin mattress below the full (purchased 2/2/2012) and the other has a Queen sized bed and they share a bathroom that is not connected to either room.
Keywords: Gated 18 home community. Manager is on property. Private Home. Private pool. Out door covered eating porch. Inside house has a full gourmet kitchen, living room and dining room. Maid service daily. A/C in all 3 bedrooms.
My husband and I live in Erie, PA USA and have owned our home in the Dominican Republic for 13 years. We also have a time share in Ambergris Cay, Belize. It's a 3 bedroom pent house overlooking the Barrier Reef. You can call if you are interested in that as well. Our favorite past time is to travel. We have 2 Westie female dogs that like to travel with us.
Ronda Janicki purchased this house in 2003
My husband and I have looked all over for vacation homes and Cabarete, DR is the place to be! We loved it from day 1 because you can really experience the local feel of the country and it's not overly commercialized like most Islands. They have fantastic authentic seafood and there is one restaurant that is American owned with traditional American/Irish food. The house is located 1 mile from the town so it does not have all of the noise you would have in town but close enough to be there on a 10 minute walk up the beach. To get to the beach you will walk down 1 short private street and it takes a little over a minute. We also like the fact that there is management on site along with security and daily maid service. There is also a little cafe 50 feet from our home.
We have a large double lot. Our home has been completely updated in 2014. All new furniture, fixtures and management. 55 inch flat screen TV mounted on the wall with a CD and DVD player. FREE Wi-FI and TONS of lounging areas. If you have a baby or toddler, we have a great set up for you!
Spent 9 days at Villa Dawn with our two kids (10 and 6) and their grandmother. The development Bahia de Arena is perfect for those looking to rent a house in Cabarete. Security is great, our kids ran around in the complex visiting their friends who were staying at another house. Walking to the beach takes 3 mins and once you are there a quick 2 min walk to the right gets you to a beach club where you can get chairs/umbrellas food/drink. The beach area is very spacious and not crowded. Also great waves for boogie boarding. Kite lessons available right there as well. Perfect set up. Villa Dawn had one of the largest yards of all the houses and a very nice pool where the kids played and we watched while siting on the patio. If you're looking for calmer waters sosua beach is 15 min drive which we also did a couple of times. Cabarete town is 5 min drive lots of bars restaurants. Overall great vacation and highly recommended!
Our experience with the Villa Dawn was an awesome experience. Ronda was awesome with helping us make our trip a success. The Villa is in a very great location. We walked the beach every day and walked up to town via the beach. The Villa is very clean and very quite. We loved sitting on the porch in the morning listening to the birds and watching the beautiful sunrise. Thank you Ronda
This was our second stay at this beautiful home. The first time we took our children, who had an amazing vacation and were very upset that we went this year without them! We loved the house and location so much we asked our friends to come share the experience with us this year.
The driver Joseph is great and greeted us at the airport. We stopped and picked up groceries on the way to the house. He is also available to take you on tours and such should you want during your trip. A car is not needed while staying here.
The house is located in a small gated community, and the manager Mark was there to greet us and always accessible should you need anything. The house is beautifully maintained and updated with nice décor. Ana the maid and the landscaper -sorry, forgot his name- do an exceptional job. The grounds are well kept with lush greenery. The yard is enclosed with a charming stone wall for privacy. The patio is covered and overlooks the pool, with a table and the most comfortable rocking chairs. Truly enjoyed the outdoor living and the feel of the ocean breeze. Beautiful views of the beach and kite surfers could be seen from the upper decks.
The pool is simply perfect, sparkling clean and just the right temperature to enjoy day and night.
We enjoyed preparing meals at the home, including the grill and the blender to make delightful frozen cocktails. And a short, pleasant walk along the beach to town has many restaurants/bars where you can enjoy a delicious meal with your toes in the sand.
The beach is less than a minute walk from the house and is clean, no seaweed, and soft sand perfect for a relaxing stroll. The waves are great to body surf or boogie board.
Everything about our trip was perfect and I cannot wait until we can visit again. Thank you to the owners, Chuck and Ronda, for allowing us to share your beautiful home!
I would diffently recommend this property to others…This place is so beautiful close to shops eatery and a short walk to the beach… The owner of this property is so available to answer any question you may have through e-mail and phone.. they have a driver who well pick you up at the airport and bring you were you need to go. It is a gated community which provides security around the clock.The best place to eat is the coffee shop located right next door amazing food and coffee…I would recommend staying here you cannot go wrong with the friendly service
This is an amazing property! Beach lovers paradise with great restaurants/bars just a quick walk up the beautiful beach. Perfect location for activities such as Kite Surfing, tennis, wind surfing,horse back riding on the beach, Shopping, and day drinking poolside! Other fun activities close by too: Golf (Playa Grande), Cascading ( climbing and jumping off waterfalls) whale watching, swimming with dolphins, and snorkeling. Don't sell yourself short at an all inclusive resort. This is a WAY better experience and feels like home! We would highly recommend this beach house!
We had a wonderful time with our friends. The house was clean and neat, everything we needed.Just beautiful on the inside and the outside. The pool and yard was well maintained. We would walk around the corner in the morning to a cute little coffee shop,the food was as good as the coffee was and so close. Also a close walk to the beach,as my husband and I enjoy doing in the morning, the views were breathtaking! We would recommend this property to anyone. The fact that we did not have a car was not a problem, we would walk to any shopping or any restaurant we wanted. Other times we wanted to go places we just called a taxi, everyone was so nice and helpful to us. We had a great time!!!
Kite Surfing and Wind surfing. You can have a private certified massage therapist come to the house to do your private massages. Just e-mail me and can get you in contact with a close friend of ours that is a lovely Russian woman! If you want a personal chef he lives next door and is fantastic. We have a babysitting service for those mommy and daddies that want some romantic time to theirselves and so much more!

Reviews for Global Partnership For Afghanistan
Afghanis who know the US from our military can't wait for us to leave. Those who know the US through GPFA welcome us. GPFA's goal is to turn the Afghan valleys back into the Orchard of the Central Asia (as it was known in the 1970s, before generations of war) by helping farmers plant orchards, vineyards, tree nurseries and vegetable gardens--people whose only profit source has been poppy cultivation. Last year alone, over a million trees were planted, including almost 6000 orchards.

Expected more from a Marroitt...Posted Mar 24, 2016
Pros: The young woman at the front desk was friendly and competent. Interestingly, she was still there 10 hours later.
Cons: Recondition the room appointments and clean the walls. My in-the-gutter imagination ran wild at the pink stain on the wall by the door. No glasses.
I booked this room because it was a Marriott and it was only for a night. The ratings on this site were better than expected. This was not my experience. The room was sad; a stain of some kind on the wall by the door, horribly worn (and plastic-feeling) blanket packed away for the fold out bed, obviously dented-but-reshaped lamp shades. I simply expected better. We didn't check out and spend the night elsewhere. That's about the best I can do.

I enjoyed my stay at the hotel. With the kitchenette, I didn't have to leave. I cooked in the room. I thought that the vending was extremely too high- $3.00 for drinks and water. Housekeeping only came in per my request. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was a bit small, but overall, the stay was great.

GREAT hotel & room but HORRIABLE BED!!Posted Mar 15, 2016
Pros: CLEAN!! Clean hallways, clean dining area and GREAT STAFF!!
Cons: The mattress in 113 is a hot mess, HORRIABLE. We had NO quality sleep at all. In the morning I got a little sleep on the couch. Mattress is sunk in
Location: Close to interstate, close to food and shopping.
The hotel staff was GREAT, the room was pretty good too, but the BED WAS HORRIABLE!! Mattress must be 20 years old. Sinks in in the middle and was sooooo uncomfortable. In addition, the room go soooo hot at night even though thermostat set on 72 only for it to dump a boat load of cold air on us and we almost got sick. This is room 113. Plus, killed 4 lady bugs in the room.

Our cozy cottage is located in the quaint beach village of Codfish Park in beautiful Siasconset on Nantucket. It is newly constructed, with two bedrooms and two baths. It is an upside down style cape with 180 degree water views from the newly expanded second floor deck. Located about 50 yards from the secluded and quiet 'Sconset beach on the eastern end of Nantucket Island.
For 2014, we are making significant improvements to enhance the vacation experience. On the outside, we are extending the top floor deck to about double its current size. This will significantly improve the outdoor experience and make entertaining on the deck much easier.
Inside we are undertaking a renovation of the upstairs living area, adding new larger windows to increase the natural light as well the ocean views; we are adding built in furniture, desk space and shelving around the perimeter; a trundle bed will be added under the built in couch. We think all of these will improve the flow and livability of the upstairs space.
We are excited and hope you will be as well.
I am a 65 year old CPA from Philadelphia. I met my lovely life partner ten years ago and she promptly introduced me to 'Sconset and have been in love with the place ever since. I get up to the island as often as I can but continue to maintain an active career in my firm working as part of the management team. I have two grown children and two wonderful grand kids. Kathy has two grown children of her own. She is an assistant dean in the graduate school of nursing at Drexel University
Phil Santarelli purchased this cottage in 2009
Kathy and I had gotten into the habit of summer two week rentals in 'Sconset and in 2009 found ourselves in Codfish Park, where Kathy once owned a tiny cottage called Gone Native.
Our cottage was right next door. I was immediately intrigued as it was new construction, which is very rare in Codfish Park, which got it start as a fishing village, centuries ago. After many days, I finally took a look and it was perfect. Just the right size with high ceilings and new plumbing, two rare traits in the old cottages.
I deliberated for a couple of months and finally decided to take the plunge. I was turning 60 and figured if I did not do it now I would never have my beach house. After a month of dickering, I had it! As a tribute to Kathy and her old place, which she dearly missed, we named the place The Return of the Native.
The proximity to the beach and to 'Sconset is unmatched. The beach is 50 yards away and the village is a short walk up the hill, where one can find a market, liquor store, cafes, and two fine dining restaurants which are wonderful. 'Sconset itself is one of the most unique places in the country. Small, quite, beautifully maintained with abundant gardens and rooftop trellises awash in roses. It is quite remarkable. Nantucket town with its shopping, restaurants and cultural scene is a mere 7 miles west on Milestone Road.
If you have stayed on Nantucket before you know how rare it is to have a completely brand new cottage in a 300 y.o. whaler's village with high ceilings, new plumbing with great water pressure, 2 bathrooms, new bedroom furniture and mattresses, Ralph Lauren linens, granite counters in a galley kitchen, washer & dryer, and tons of windows overlooking the ocean! Can't beat it. Great for 1 or 2 couples. It was very neat & clean. Flowering garden recently planted. Oh, and the appliances are brand new. Every room has new wood venetian blinds and ceiling fans which helped a great deal to keep things cool during those hot days. I already booked for next year.

Nice one coming up with a pure click-bait headline, but then REQUIRING a reader to CLICK THROUGH to the original post before he or she can know what you're talking about.
I know serious subject, good article to which your linking, etc but I couldn't resist going meta on you.
I seriously doubt Scientific American is sliding money to Maggie on the sly for a link (if that's what you're getting at).
Not clear what you think that we do here. This is not a research facility.
This may sound off-topic, but bear with me….
My youngest came home with an interesting assignment yesterday: the students were asked to write a letter to their parents detailing their work in math learning different ways to use division, and we parents are expected to write a response including information from our own childhood experiences learning division or similar mathematical concepts at the same age.
This has caused me to reminisce about the math class I was part of when I was her age. It was a special class for the most gifted at a very good school (I was a scholarship kid), and the ratio was about 2:1 males to females. Until that grade. All of a sudden, Diane and I were the only girls left in the program, with all of the other girls dropping down into normal math or even remedial math. We asked around to try to figure out what had happened. Turns out, the MOTHERS had told their 11-year-old daughters that they were getting to an age when boys wouldn't be interested in them if they were too smart.
That's all it took. Poof, the grade lost nearly a third of its advanced math students because trusted adults discouraged them. And this was at a school with absolutely none of the disadvantages listed in the above article, with students who had every privilege available to them.
It sometimes amazes me that we have as many brilliant adults doing fascinating work as we do, because it certainly seems like childhood for most kids is one long stretch of being squelched.
Sex roles are drilled in to children almost from birth. That is a horrid thing to tell a daughter… :(
Who gives a rat's ass if boys like you? Boys are dumb. ;)
Or just assure them that being good at math is awesome in itself and there will be plenty of boys willing to enter into more equal and flexible relationships later on.
one of the many podcasts i listen to (sorry for the vague, no-source information) mentioned that women telling girls (mothers telling daughters) that they hated math when they were young had a negative impact on that girl's performance in math. :(
I believe we should have a longer school year, since ours is based around antiquated family farm schedule. Include a week of in-class school wide science fair.
I've heard the family farm schedule thing mentioned before and it doesn't really make sense to me. The busiest times of the year on the farm are planting and harvest. The school year here goes from September to June. Harvest is usually after school starts and planting is well before school ends.
I expect the real reason for the school schedule taking a long break in the summer is it's really fucking hot then. Many schools don't have air conditioning and I know from hot and humid June days that we didn't learn much on those days.
I read this last night and can relate even though, like others in the comments here, I had none of those specific disadvantages and was in a very good (and relatively wealthy) school district.
I have often felt like the entire structure of K-12 education is totally screwed up, essentially to the core. It requires some anecdotal evidence to come to this conclusion, but bear with me.
Through most of my schooling I was a "B" student. I was a nerd, and intelligent if I do say so myself, but I didn't work very hard. There was no incentive to, and I had little encouragement to – I wasn't challenged. I earned those Bs (and a few As… and a few Cs) with exceedingly minimal effort.
Meanwhile, there was a group of students who took advanced classes and so on (I did eventually end up in this group in high school, but far later than I should have) and got straight As in them. These people became the few friends I was left with from my school days, and I know what they're up to these days (almost ten years later).
Among the people who were the most promising students in high school, according to high school's definition of a promising student (good grades, etc.), almost none are now doing what they wanted to be doing (many intended to become scientists and engineers) – not even close. Many are unemployed (myself included) and have few options.
Granted, what you want to do with your life changes for a lot of people once they're in college. But I can't help but see the enormous wasted potential here – people who could be making great contributions to society, but who were discouraged or prevented from doing so.
That discouragement takes a different form once you're in college (or after you graduate), of course – you realize that there's no future in what you wanted to do. People who would certainly be dedicated enough to continue anyway – they have the passion – are forced to question their resolve and end up with a lot of self-doubt. And then they switch majors to accounting (or something).
I am probably the dumbest person from my group of high school friends, and I don't think most K-12 teachers saw much potential in me (and the few who did I am eternally grateful to). Yet I am the only one (as far as I know) who will end up a scientist. I know at least one of my friends will probably see this comment, so let me add, the others are far from failures – there's at least one doctor (hi Anna) and at least a couple of engineers. But I also know that those people are not necessarily doing exactly what they want to be doing (successful though those careers will make them by society's standards), and they are the exceptions in any case. I don't think any of the smart people I knew in high school are doing what they want and are good at.
Which speaks to a bigger problem, beyond education – what good is education and encouragement anyway, if there's not really a future in STEM for those who are interested and passionate about it?
My parents are both teachers and they made a lot of sacrifices to send me to the top private schools in our area of Alabama. We had some good science instruction, and we have had several students from my high school go on to MIT, just to show that we really did have some good teachers.
However, I now live on Long Island and my daughter goes to one of the top public schools in the country. Her high school repeatedly has winners in the Intel Science Awards, and is always competitive the Science Olympiad. The money that is put into this school system is amazing. Whereas in my high school we all took the same science classes (physics, chemistry, biology), she has a selection of courses to choose from each year. Their labs are state of the art.
And on top of the physical resources, the teachers are paid well, have experience in the field, and love their jobs. They spend hours outside of the classroom doing the Intel stuff and the Science Olympiad stuff.
Every year there are votes on the school budget and parents turn out in droves to push the budget through. The parents here are university professors, scientists at Brookhaven National Labs, and doctors at the local hospital. Every year they have to fight the older people with no kids in school to push the taxes up.
I went to a high school that's been in the top 100 public high schools in the US. My hometown was predominantly working class. Despite being in the bottom third of ability to pay for education, it was in the top third of what was actually being paid. In our case, it was because at least half of my fellow students' parents were first generation Americans and believed strongly in the value of education. And being in New England, we were governed by town meeting, where the voters crammed themselves into one room and made all the decisions for the town.

The State of Storytelling in Philanthropy
For more than two years, we've been helping social impact organizations become storytelling organizations through (the recently revamped) Hatch for Good.
Philanthropy plays a critical role in helping social impact organizations tell stories more effectively. And many foundations are already investing in strategic storytelling—including The Rockefeller Foundation, the supporter of Hatch for Good.
And as more and more foundations start to focus on storytelling as a way to increase the impact of their work (and their grantees' work), we've noticed a few big patterns that have emerged. First we outline a few of the internal process challenges, then address what we've seen in terms of developing stories and engaging audiences with content. We've included some guidance that could help philanthropies integrate storytelling into their work more seamlessly.
- You're Gonna Have to Bust Some Silos. Although some foundations are making strides in breaking down silos to create storytelling organizations, most philanthropies aren't there yet. Foundations must develop systems for how to work with colleagues and grantees on story identification, story collection, production and engagement. (Please see here for our take on what a storytelling organization looks like.) For your foundation, it may make sense to identify ONE program and ONE communications staffer that can pilot an approach to identify solutions that work for that organization and its grantees.
- Get Senior Management Visibly Engaged. In fact, this goes for both philanthropic and social impact organizations. For storytelling to really become a core part of an organization's culture, the senior managers have to be supportive of the effort. We say "visibly," because the entire organization must see that this is a leadership priority. Check out this piece from Neill Coleman, VP of Global Communications at The Rockefeller Foundation, on how to make the case for investing in storytelling within your organization.
- Carrots? Yes. Sticks? Yes. Since we launched Hatch for Good, we've come to the conclusion that foundations need both carrots (incentives) and sticks (requirements) to get grantees to participate actively in storytelling efforts. Some foundations have considered working story creation/collection into grant requirements, while others have sponsored storytelling contests to help create incentives. A contest with a small operating grant is enough to inspire many grantees to create and submit stories—as long as there's a clear sense of requirements and expectations.
- Stories Exist—The Challenge is Narrowing It Down. Through workshops on Hatch for Good, including the one at ComNet15, it's become increasingly clear that organizations aren't short on stories. In fact, deciding which stories to focus on and which characters to highlight is a real challenge to most people. We have suggested many times that organizations shouldn't try to "do it all" in one story—but instead think about using the Social Impact Story Map to develop a series of stories that all help to reinforce the organizations' overall narrative framework.
- Grantees Need Help on Engagement. This may seem like an obvious one, but, as Garth Moore of the ONE Campaign points out in his article on the "60/40 Rule," most organizations don't spend nearly enough time on engaging audiences with the content they create.
Far too much effort still goes into one-time hits like lengthy reports, press releases, and tweets—without consideration for how that content can be repurposed effectively to give the organization even more mileage and exposure. For more guidance on how to effectively repurpose content, see this post by Jereme Bivins, Digital Media Manager at The Rockefeller Foundation.
There is still a lot of (legitimate) buzz about storytelling, and many foundations and social impact organizations are making progress. But we all still have a long way to go. We hope this helps provide some food for thought for how to further build your organization's storytelling efforts.

Did Heritage Make the PDF Obsolete?
Key Takeaways:
- The Heritage Foundation published an entire report on Medium – turning a series of posts into a single destination.
- Medium essentially functioned as a microsite – but one that required little design or setup.
- Traffic and engagement increased, and Heritage did not have to rely on less-accessible formats like PDFs.
The PDF is dying. Study after study (some of them published as PDFs) have shown that the format just isn't working. Many will remember the much-discussed World Bank analysis, which showed 517 of its reports were never downloaded (warning: that link is to a PDF report). The format that allowed us to print and attach documents easily just doesn't work for readers in an era of countless devices and platforms.
So when The Heritage Foundation sought to publish our 2015 Index of Culture and Opportunity, we knew we needed a different approach.
…this is the first time an organization has published an entire, multi-chapter, multi-part report to [Medium].
Now in its second year, the Index looks at key indicators of the state of our society – everything from the rate of volunteerism to the portion of GDP taken by government taxes. Some of these indicators are paired with essays and analysis from experts at Heritage and beyond.
The Index has a wealth of valuable data, but its original format (a print book and PDF) makes it hard to digest. We doubted that many of those who received the book read through a majority of it.
And what about those who were interested in just a few of the data points, or even a single indicator? Asking them to read through an entire book to get the information they need is simply unrealistic. We knew that if we didn't make the information easy to use and find, our audience would look elsewhere.
Our solution was to publish the 2015 Index entirely on Medium. This was a novel concept. Medium has been used by many in the political space – and beyond – to publish articles and commentary. Just recently, Hillary Clinton published a series of posts including one on her college savings plan. But to our knowledge, and as confirmed by our friends at Medium, this is the first time an organization has published an entire, multi-chapter, multi-part report to the platform.
We started by designing the individual article pages. We decided on a consistent image style, the headers, section spacing, placement of the charts, and the page hierarchy. Then, we mapped out the connections between each article, selecting a sequencing approach that would allow each user to seamlessly reach the next article in the report. In short, we approached publishing to Medium much in the same way we would the information architecture process on a bespoke website.
But a series of article pages wasn't enough. We needed to tie together the articles into sections so that users interested in a particular type of data would be able to browse easily. We accomplished that by simply turning the Medium article page functionality into a section homepage, adding links, header images, and an overview. You can see the section landing page for the Poverty & Dependence section here.
To bring it all together we still needed a single destination – a homepage or landing page where users could see what the Index was about and explore its content. To accomplish that, we set up a Medium "publication." Formerly called "collections" on the platform, these publication pages pull in articles and allow an editor to lay them out on a page in a variety of sections, orders, and layouts.
The PDF is still available for those who need it (though few have downloaded it so far). Visitors to Heritage.org/culture are automatically taken to the report on Medium, and users of Heritage.org can easily find links and pathways to the Index. But the Index itself lives only on the Medium platform.
The end result was exactly what we were looking for: a de-facto microsite that looks and functions as well as a custom-built destination. Sure, many of the design decisions such as those around fonts and colors were made by Medium's template. But we got a visually-stunning, fully-responsive website. And we got it up and running using zero web development resources, and in less than a week from setup to launch.
Sure, there will still be projects and content for which we want to build a dedicated digital destination. I doubt we have done away with the microsite for good. Still, the performance of the Index speaks volumes. Over 20,000 views of the Index's articles and section pages in under 30 days. Visitors arriving from Google, Facebook, Twitter, and even from other pages on Medium. Just as importantly, the Index was easy to view and use for users across devices.
We can confidently say that publishing a report on Medium was a worthwhile endeavor. It also doesn't hurt moving even further away from the trap of the long PDF.

You probably run into at least a dozen every day. Think of the commenting bot that shouts YOU can make $$MONEY$$ from your VERY OWN HOME!!!. Or maybe the Twitter bot that retweets everything your organization posts. Just take a peek at the entirety of your email spam box. There are even bots that can write journalism and poetry, even if they haven't entirely crossed the uncanny valley yet.
Evalu-cations: The indispensable alliance between evaluation and communications
This post originally appeared on Knight Foundation's website. Photo credit: Flickr user Richard Matthews.
A hallmark of my time supporting research and evaluation at Knight Foundation has been a close working relationship with our communications team. This partnership has been a key ingredient for the development and dissemination of a series of successful reports Knight has published in recent years. So when I recently encountered a Communications Network blog post lamenting the challenged relationship between evaluation people and communications people, I felt compelled to speak out on behalf of the way our teams have partnered at Knight.
#ComNet15 Preview: When Your Story is No Longer Yours
This is a preview of ComNet15 Breakout Session In Over Your Head? How Foundations and Nonprofits Can Carefully Tread Politically Charged Waters, sponsored by Nellie Mae Education Foundation.
As a young political staffer, I felt like I ruled the world the first day I arrived at an event for my boss. My job as Press Secretary to a Governor was to set the scene, ensure all logistics were in place before his arrival, and – most importantly – make sure the media was writing the story we were laying out for them. As the last pieces were put in place with meticulous detail and I began making my rounds to the awaiting members of the media to plant the frame of the day in their heads and in their notebooks, an out-of-control car came careening through my carefully planned event stage, hit the embankment that was to serve as our backdrop, and went airborne into a train station across the street.

I stayed at the Hyatt Regency Miami 07Nov2012 for a business trip. Hotel staff is very friendly and helpful and the location is central. My room was a double on the 16th floor - great view of the lock and drawbridge and gorgeous adjoining buildings but a bit noisy. Street noise was remarkably loud as was the ice machine directly across from my room. The property is older and does not appear to have been renovated any time recently but was adequate for my short stay.
I enjoyed the large granite work desk, nice view and extra large closet. The bathroom was a bit claustrophobic. The dressing area was separated by a short wall from the rest of the room affording a bit of privacy. The beds were comfortable though the one I chose to sleep on did have some stray hair on the linens. Aside from the loud traffic sounds, I could not adjust the heat and was cold all evening. No matter how high I turned the thermostat, the fan seemed to only blow cool air. I didn't notice any room service menus in the room so was forced to go downstairs to the lobby to eat at the restaurant there. The menu had only a few items and staff was helpful but almost too friendly. I got the blackened mahi-mahi sandwich which was delicious and Key lime pie for dessert. The iced tea was really good and the prices were reasonable for a hotel restaurant. Wifi was free for me because my client paid and connection was fast and easy. From the windows in the dining room on the lower level near the conference rooms,we could see tugs maneuvering a huge freighter through the canal - quite a treat. The grounds and surroundings were beautiful and there was a large veranda open to the canal on the back side of the hotel. I'm not sure what sort of breakfast items are normally served but for our meeting group pastries and melon were provided. Since many of the meeting attendees were medical professionals, the lack of protein and choices of fruit was duly noted. Good for business trips - I would probably recommend to colleagues.
