CHARLOTTE, NC, June 2, 2015 - Carolinas HealthCare System today joined an invited group of organizations, companies and associations at the White House Forum on Antibiotic Stewardship and committed to making additional changes over the next five years to slow the emergence and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The Forum challenged top leaders from healthcare, diagnostics and food industries, among others, to leverage their expertise and resources to more aggressively combat these bacteria at the national level.
"Carolinas HealthCare System is excited to contribute to this larger conversation on preventing and combating the overuse of antibiotics, both in healthcare and other settings," said James C. Hunter, MD, chief medical officer for the System, who attended the Forum. "We are proud of the work we are already doing in this area and applaud the White House for placing additional emphasis on this important topic."
Since 2009, Carolinas HealthCare System has actively worked to reduce the overuse of antibiotics, one of the primary causes of antibiotic resistance. Efforts are led by the System's Antimicrobial Support Network (ASN), which last year was supported by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' Leading Edge Advance Practice Topics contract. The ASN is a six-hospital stewardship program that helps healthcare providers make better decisions for the selection, dosage and duration of antimicrobial treatments for patients.
To decrease antibiotic use across the organization, Carolinas HealthCare System committed to expanding its ASN to include 13 inpatient and rehabilitation facilities by end of year. It also committed to spreading stewardship support, over the next several years, across the System's 900 care locations through a state-of-the-art ASN – this network would build upon and include already existing ASNs at Cone Health in North Carolina, and AnMed Health and Roper St. Francis Healthcare in South Carolina.
More specifically, its efforts will include:
Stewardship programs improve patient outcomes and reduce rates of hospital-acquired and other infections. They also decrease patient length of stay and rates of antimicrobial use. Hospitals currently in the Carolinas HealthCare System ASN continue seeing patient outcome and cost improvements from more diligent use of antibiotics. To date they have decreased their use of antibiotics by 20 to 30 percent, keeping patients on antibiotics fewer days and reducing cost of antimicrobials by more than 12 percent.
Over the past year, White House Administration has taken important steps to address the threat of antibiotic resistance. In September 2014, President Obama issued an executive order on this topic and, in March 2015, the Administration released the National Action Plan for Combating Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria, which outlines "a whole-of-government approach over the next five years targeted at addressing this threat."
The press portion of the June 2 Forum will be available via live stream from 8-9:15 a.m. on the White House website.

Varsity Men's gorgeous, latino uncut stud Jonas is totally and completely straight. However, as most of us are aware, regardless of a hunk's sexual orientation, he will always love some great head. Andreas on the other hand is quite experienced at taking on thick meaty cocks. Through some massage and sensual touching, he managed to get Jonas to relax and thoroughly enjoy his first man-on-man blowjob. What a luscious cock and body he has!

text: pub wan is nominally a platform for consumer activism. Consumer activism is often seen as the antithesis of salescrittership (salesmanship). This may be an unfair characterization, both of pubwan and of sales. Nevertheless, a primary goal of pubwan is to create an alternative informational infrastructure sufficiently strong to cut through the more egregious aspects of the art of the sale. The pubwan movement need be no friend of those who deliberately disinform or even confuse the public. Our mission is the deconstruction, and hopefully reverse engineering, of nonlinear pricing policies, selective advertising of product specifications, boilerplate contracts and disinformation strategies in general. Salescrittership in the best sense of the word is, of course, admired.

Konami has confirmed its two-game Silent Hill HD Collection, will be released for Xbox 360 and PS3 on March 29th. The publisher has also unveiled a teaser trailer for the eagerly-anticipated compilation.
The Silent Hill HD Collection doesn't quite live up to the billing however, given that it comprises of just the second and third games from the series. Still, that Silent Hill 2 remains one of our all-time favourite games, means the 'Collection' is welcome; but we can't help but think the decision not to include the original game, certainly Silent Hill 4: The Room and perhaps even Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is an odd one.
Expect completely-updated HD make-overs of the two included games however, while soundtracks of each have been re-recorded, as has all dialogue – reuniting the original vocal artists. The included version of Silent Hill 2 also features the exclusive stages from the original Director's Cut supplemental release.
Konami has unveiled a 30-second trailer showcasing the revisited games which is here for your viewing pleasure:

I can see how these photos would inspired thoughts of a miniature creation!
The window on the right looks like an *oeil de bouef* window. I did some searching of miniatures shops awhile back for this type of window, and the only place I found them was at the Lawbre website.
I'm including the link in case you might want it in the future. Of course, you could probably make them from scratch!
I'm looking forward to seeing your next project. Looking through photos for inspiration is a great way to fill the artistic well so that a new creation can spring forth!

Here's another source for oeil de bouef miniature windows:
Also some links to a few inspiring houses in miniature..french of course:
A link with more photos of these windows, which have also inspired a modern trend, mirrors of a similar design:
And the Wikipedia entry (short but informative):
I'm quite enamored with these charming little windows as you can tell!

Kia Sportage SX Gets 2.0-Liter Turbo Engine in Canada
At the recent Montreal International Auto Show, Kia Canada rolled out a new turbocharged version of the Sportage crossover.
Currently available in only LX and EX trim levels, this new SX model uses the same 2.0L turbocharged gasoline direct injection (GDI) engine found in the new Hyundai Sonata Turbo. No engine specifics have been provided, but in the Sonata it makes 274-hp and 269 lb-ft of torque, which should help this compact crossover really fly.
In the Sonata, that engine makes 22/33-mpg (city/highway) so we expect similar numbers in the Sportage SX.
Standard equipment on the SX trim includes items like a Smart Key Push Button start, Panoramic Sunroof, 18-inch wheels, Driver Ventilated Seat, EVO Infotainment System, 7-speaker audio system and SX Leather Seating.
Arriving at dealers soon, the Sportage SX is priced from $36,995 in Canada. We expect a U.S. version to arrive soon, and this also raises the possibility that the Tucson will get the 2.0T engine.

For Immediate Release
Monday, July 24, 2006
Contact: Senator Maggie Hassan
Phone: 603 271-2118
Fax: 603 271-3027
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
CONCORD, NH – State Senator Maggie Hassan, D-District 23, today announced the availability of state funds for mosquito control efforts to combat Eastern Equine Encephalitis, commonly referred to as EEE. The legislature passed HB 1464 to provide reimbursement to cities and towns for some of their mosquito control efforts and to streamline the permitting process in the event a city or town decide to engage in larvicide or adulticide spraying.
Health and Human Services has now taken steps to trigger the provisions of the new law that will provide state funds to certain communities to combat EEE. Health and Human Services has the discretion to provide up to 25 percent of the cost of mosquito control efforts for towns that have a plan in place and where EEE has been detected or meets criteria of area where EEE most likely to be.
HB 1464 also established a task force that will begin meeting on July 27, 2006, and brings science experts, local officials, HHS, Fish and Game, veterinarians and legislators to the table to ensure that New Hampshire's EEE policy is as up to date as possible.
Hassan noted that recent discussions between the town of Stratham and the state's Fish and Game and Health and Human Services departments are continuing. The town of Stratham is particularly sensitive to the threat of EEE. One of the state's EEE deaths last year involved a young woman who worked in the town.
"With the recent confirmed presence of EEE in nearby Danville, this area of the state needs to be as proactive as possible in preventing EEE," stated Senator Hassan. Hassan also reiterated health officials' advice that the best way to prevent EEE is to wear protective clothing, use insect repellent containing DEET, and remove standing water where mosquitoes breed.
District 23 includes the towns of East Kingston, Exeter, Kensington, Kingston, Newfields, Newmarket, Newton, South Hampton, Seabrook and Stratham.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: How do I know if I overfilled my power steering? on 2006 Buick Lucerne
How do I know if I broke the pump?
| |
There is a stem on the end of the cap that has marks on it to check the fluid level. If the steering pump is not pumping fluid and the power steering is now manual steering it's quite possible your pump is bad.
| |
Overfilling the pump would not break it. It would just result in a large fluid mess as the excessive fluid would be pushed out the cap. If the engine was ran long enough with the fluid level low that could have ruined the pump. Allow the fluid to settle...engine off...then recheck the level running and see if you have any assist. If you still do not have any assisted steering you will want to have the system checked. If the system is moaning, cycle the steering back and forth several times from stop to stop. Recheck the fluid level until full. This should bring back the steering assist, otherwise you may need a pump, a steering gear, or possibly both. Hope this helps.

New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer and Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin yesterday announced they are investigating complaints that Morgan Stanley improperly pressured its brokers to sell its own mutual funds.
Spitzer and Galvin allege investors were not made aware that their brokers received additional compensation for selling such "in-house" funds. In addition, the two said at a news conference in Boston that the company misled state regulators investigating the practice, which is a violation of regulations.
Spitzer and Galvin hinted that the practice of brokers not revealing to investors that they they get higher fees for selling their company's products could be widespread and said they are writing to other Wall Street firms to see if other companies are following the practice. "We have other issues we're pursuing in the mutual fund industry," Spitzer said in an interview yesterday. "This is an area where there have been some reports to problems we feel an obligation to look into it."
A spokesman for Galvin's office said he did not know how much extra fees brokers were getting for selling Morgan Stanley's own mutual funds. In general, state regulators have been trying to clamp down on brokerage firms charging extra for in-house funds but the practice is not barred if the customer knows about the compensation arrangements.
But mutual-fund watchers said the practice of giving extra compensation for one fund over another can be troublesome for investors. "It's hard to have an adviser working in investors best interest when they're getting paid to recommend one type of fund over another," said Russ Kinnel, director of mutual fund analysis at Morningstar Inc., a company based in Chicago that researches stocks and mutual funds.
In the Morgan Stanley case, Massachusetts officials said they learned about the problem in March after receiving an anonymous letter from a Morgan Stanley broker in Boston.
The special compensation in some cases was given to branch managers rather than brokers as "business expense reimbursements" or "business development dollars," the complaint alleges. The civil complaint, filed in Massachusetts, seeks to bar Morgan Stanley from the practice and asks for a $1 million fine. A Morgan Stanley spokesman did not return a call seeking comment yesterday.
The state regulators also said they were trying to stop congressional legislation that could bar state regulators from conducting similar investigations. A bill sponsored by Rep. Richard H. Baker (R-La.) was designed to strengthen the power of the Securities and Exchange Commission. But its language would have the effect of limiting state securities regulators in bringing actions involving stock fraud or other investor cases, Galvin said. Spitzer also criticized the bill, saying limiting states' powers would hurt Main Street investors.

When it came to their divorce too, the couple went to and fro with their case and demands! Finally, just when it seemed like, all will be well, there comes a twist in the tale, Sanjay and Karisma may not get divorced.
According to Mumbai Mirror, Sanjay's mother who currently controls the family's finance since his father's demise last year doesn't approve of Sanjay's new girlfriend Priya Chatwal.
So if Sanjay won't be able to get the divorce then he cannot marry Priya and neither can Karisma Kapoor movie on and wed her alleged beau Sandeep Toshniwal who would have given Karisma the much needed calm, uncontroversial life with love.

Beijing (AFP) Aug 15, 2012
China's top state newspaper accused Western powers Wednesday of hampering international efforts to end the bloody conflict in Syria, as a senior Damascus envoy visited Beijing for talks with leaders.
The People's Daily, mouthpiece of the governing Communist party, said in a commentary that China would press for a political solution to the crisis during this week's visit by a special advisor to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
China and Russia have repeatedly used their vetoes to scuttle UN Security Council resolutions aimed at tackling the conflict, putting them at loggerheads with fellow permanent members the United States, Britain and France.
"Some Western countries have never given up the goal of 'regime change' in Syria and constantly reinforced their support for the anti-government forces," said a commentary in the paper.
That stance had "undermined the unity within the UN Security Council and prevented the international community from reaching a consensus and (outgoing peace envoy Kofi) Annan's mediation efforts from taking effect," it said.
The United States has urged Beijing to use its influence on the embattled regime in Damascus to press for an end to the bloodshed during the visit, with the 17-month conflict showing no signs of abating.
But China's communist leaders are deeply uncomfortable with what they see as Western intervention in other countries' internal affairs.
In a brief statement Monday, China said that Bouthaina Shaaban, special adviser to Assad, would be in Beijing this week for talks, and that it was considering inviting members of the Syrian opposition to visit.
Since then, no details of her visit have emerged and the foreign ministry did not respond to AFP requests for information on her meetings.
On Tuesday Syria's former prime minister, the highest profile government figure to defect, said the regime was "collapsed militarily, economically and morally" and now controlled only 30 percent of Syria's territory.
The conflict has killed more than 23,000 people since March last year, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The UN says more than a million people have been displaced and another 140,000 have fled to Syria's neighbours.
Beijing earlier this year gave its backing for the peace plan of outgoing peace envoy Annan, who resigned earlier this month in the face of continued violence and a deadlock among world powers.
In its commentary, the People's Daily said Shaaban's visit was a "diplomatic effort by China to push for a political solution to the Syrian issue and shows China's high sense of responsibility for world peace".
"China has no private interests in the Syrian issue. China is determined to resolve the Syrian issue at an early date within the UN framework in a fair, just and appropriate manner," it said.

swear like a sailor
To use profanities or vulgar language very freely and fluently. (An allusion to the rough language presumed to be used by military personnel.)

Here's hoping you have a pair of nips to suck on this weekend. And I don't mean Paula Abdul's raisin nips. I really don't. I mean giant obscene man nips that could carve glass.
You would start your perfect nip weekend with a Friday night showing of that classic film directed by Steven Spielberg: Nips. That one where everyone's in that beach town and keeps getting killed by that great white nip until this macho guy takes on the great white nip personally. They get gay married and open a bed and breakfast in Burlington, Vermont so the beach is safe.
You'll sleep in on Saturday and have nipple quiche for brunch followed by a matinee screening of that surreptitious video your creepy yet sexy neighbor took of you while you were working over your own nips and forgot the blinds were open. He was so proud he rented out a local theater to show everyone.
Then Saturday night you visit Nips Bar & Grille for barbecue chicken nips and to snag phone numbers of supposedly straight married guys. Then a Match Game marathon featuring the bon mots of Nipsey Russell. 1970s game shows are the pinnacle of modern society.
Sunday morning you realize you haven't actually sucked any giant nips yet so you take out a desperate Craigslist ad. I know that's redundant. Yet it does work and you end up with pair after pair of giant nips to work over.
As the clock strikes midnight on Sunday and you squirt a load while sucking on that final nip of the night, you realize your weekend is over. The guy leaves a quarter on your nightstand, making you feel like a cheap whore. You'd be offended but you're too busy hoping you see him again.
Truth is it's not super easy finding a guy really into getting his nips sucked. Not every guy is wired for pleasure there, which I really don't get, but whatever. So you may as well go for the giant ones when you can, so it's like sucking twenty guys nips at once. Plus the harder your work them over, they'll be even bigger for next time.

While we might be known as The Superstore we are hardly a large army. In fact, at just about 60 employees, we are more like an extended family.
About Us
Mission & Vision
AED Superstore was founded with one mission - Increase the chance of survival from Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) through the deployment of AEDs. Defibrillation is the only way to save someone suffering from SCA so the more AEDs we get into the hands of the general public, the greater the chance we have of saving lives. We truly believe AEDs should be as ubiquitous as fire extinguishers - and we will not stop until they are.
Our Culture & People
Our culture and people are very much a by-product of the small town we are located in. People in the northwoods still leave their front doors unlocked, their keys in their vacant car, will go above and beyond to help a stranger, and treat everyone with kindness and respect. In this day and age, it might be considered out of the ordinary, but this means every customer is treated as if they are our most important customer.
Marry this level of customer service to the rigorous training process we put every employee through and almost everyone within the organization can answer almost any question about every product we carry. If someone doesnt know the answer, they definitely know someone who does. And its usually Jared.
We would be hypocrites if we didnt practice what we preach. So, all of our employees are CPR/AED certified and we also provide every employee with their own personal AED.
We do what we do because we love it. We love it because what we do is help save peoples lives. Pretty cool job.
Our Story
Like most fairy tales, our story includes two friends, a bar, beer, napkins, a brilliant idea, and the obligatory line - We should open a business together.
Back in 2002, in the northwoods of Wisconsin, friends Jon Dobbs and Ken Raupach, a professional EMT and paramedic, respectively, sat at a bar drinking beers and dabbing the ends of their mouths with napkins (what one does with napkins in these situations) and talked about how confusing, difficult and frustrating it was to buy AEDs. There was little-to-no information on the web and it was very hard for small organizations looking for just one to two defibrillators to get the attention of the AED manufacturers or to find a distributor willing to meet with them. There was too much legwork on the part of consumers. This is when they had the aforementioned brilliant idea, You know what we should do? Open a business right here in Wisconsin selling AEDs!
With no experience running an online retail company, but a ton of product knowledge and a heck of a lot of passion for saving lives, they convinced one of the AED manufacturers to take a chance on them. A website was created and Jons basement and garage were converted to an office and warehouse. Their passion quickly paid off and, within a few more years, the catalog of products expanded further to include CPR and AED training related products. Many thousands of AED unit sales later and after finalizing partnerships with all of the remaining AED unit manufacturers, they were struck with brilliant idea number two. You know, were selling AEDs on the web where people can easily find us and were offering all of the parts and accessories they could ever ask for, napkin dab and sip of beer, were the AED Superstore!
Their dream was fully realized back in 2013 after acquiring Annuvia, a company who provides national CPR & AED training services, in addition to AED medical direction and program management. In plain English - Annuvia provides employee CPR training and certification and, through their software Arch, helps companies manage their AEDs and meet regulatory requirements.
Jon and Ken handed over the reins of day-to-day operations, but still play an important role in onboarding new employees and keeping the culture as true to what it was back in 2002.
So whats next for the AED Superstore? Lets just say Jon and Ken arent the only two people at the company with lofty dreams.View More

Born in 1977 - Italy
Fidia Faleschetti was born on 29 August 1977 in Loreto, Italy, where he lives and works today.
Fidia Falaschetti is one of those artists who after having followed a curriculum linked to the graphic arts (Academy of art in Florence) has launched professionally in the field of communication and is very quickly felt flange. How can we be bloomed in his business when it has so many ideas in the heads to express and they are not always in agreement with the values advocated by capitalism and the communication that goes with it.
Graphic Designer, illustrator and photographer who worked in the world of advertising and communication, Fidia Falaschetti, reappropriates the values advocated by capitalism and the communication in order to turn it into a joke through the installation, the drawing or yet the sculpture.
With force and irony, it beckons the viewer in a "ratcheting up" of objects and absurd situations. The red apple keen of Apple Care, ready to be unpinned, or the stork delivering a garbage bag of Born to Be has linked are as much of tracks in response to the non-sense of contemporary society.
There are a lot of artists "street" who criticize the media world but without really knowing except some such as Fidia Flaschetti, who knows the same very well because it has been for a long time in the world of communication that he was then abandoned for a totally different world: contemporary art.
The artist incorporates simple principles which are the principles of the pop culture, very colorful, filled with symbols and codes of globalization, as well as the tabloids.
Of course, all these informations are not there to create a conflict, on the contrary, they make us reflect to us, to our place in the world and to try to see how we can make it better for all.

Beautify your city, Bushy hedge rubbish bags
Rubbish is never going to disappear, but Colenso BBDO, Auckland found a way to make it beautiful. We turned the ordinary rubbish bag into a bushy hedge, which formed garden beds when placed curbside. The "Beautify your City" campaign was created to make Auckland a more beautiful city. We prevented illegal dumping by placing flowerbeds on targeted areas and educated businesses, with a kit delivered by council ambassadors. With every business in the CBD receiving the bags, Auckland's city streets transformed overnight.
Ambient advertisment created by BBDO, New Zealand for Auckland City Council, within the category: Public Interest, NGO.

uhm folks? how is this any different than the trash bags wk london has been doing for more than a year?
Hehe that's really smart. I wonder what the brief was for these guys. And I'd love to see those flowerbed areas too :)
Brilliant! In colder countries these would be snowballs.
Stay hungry. Stay foolish.
uhm folks? how is this any different than the trash bags wk london has been doing for more than a year?
Nice idea. In reality rubbish bags are overfilled and left in an untidy condition and not in neat rows. If this changes behaviour, then kudos.
Write a wise saying and your name will live forever – Anonymous.
This is really scammy. I live in Auckland and most rubbish in the CBD goes in to wheelie bins, not rubbish bags laying on the curbside. This would have been set up purely to be photographed for an ambient award entry. The photograph looks heavily retouched and I'd bet my bottom dollar that the majority of the people working in the CBD have never seen these bags, unless they happened to walk by as the photo shoot was happening. Shame on you Colenso, you can do better work than this.

BlizzCaps: Cattle call
"It was the first of what may turn into an annual event," writes submitter Pickcowsew. "Deathtacular of Llane (US-H) held a Running of the Bulls. Six intrepid level ones ran from Vengeance Landing to Warsong Hold. (Shout out to Bessalyn on Azuremyst who accompanied us until we were wiped out at the border of Howling Fjord and Grizzly Hills.) In spite of our best efforts, we found ourselves in the frozen meat section. We're not sure which is more terrifying; the wolves we can see coming to eat us or the vultures that swoop on us from behind with no warning. Our guild bodyguard, Demonpool, had a lot of ground to cover when we were pulling mobs from all over the zone. Why do a run like this? Well, Taurens have to run. After all, it's good for our calves."

Introducing Causeview
"Take a look at this" said Steve. "It's like everything Raiser's Edge should be for fundraisers, but on the Salesforce platform". A flurry of questions ensued, but this was the start of us finding Causeview.
Not every new tool attracts our attention. But when it does, we start by identifying our evaluation criteria. As a team (tech, fundraising, operations, developers, strategist, data experts, users) we look for a range of factors in a new tool, system or approach – everything from ease of integration, features and functionality, ease of 'switch-over' for teams in charities using one system and migrating to a new one … the list goes on.
We're also looking at the track record of the developers (in this case, Canadian-based, Breakeven), and where else the tool is in use. We were keen to find out how they approach everything from customer feedback and input, through to development and ongoing service. We also look at where a new tool might sit in the broad spread of offers from a wide range of providers – where are the points of difference? Who will it suit?
And so, here we sit after a good few months of to-ing and fro-ing, with Causeview ready to roll. It's complete with updates, adaptations and localised features for the quite specific demands of UK fundraisers – particularly direct debit and gift aid.
Another CRM – surely there are enough of these in the world?
Let's be clear, there are lots of great tools out there for fundraisers. But everything in life has limits, and the roadmap and pace of development for some CRM systems is slow and taking a while to catch up with the pace of fundraising. Some are just plain expensive. And some are suitable-ish, but not really ready for a digital future.
Fundraisers are working faster – and need (not want any more, just plain old need) full integration and a cohesive, no-fuss approach to data sources.
The 'Jack of all trades, master of none' effect
We're quite pragmatic at heart, and realise that it's a 'big ask' to have a tool that is everything we need, has an unlimited road map and is fantastic at everything. It doesn't stop us asking – if anyone deserves perfection, it's a fundraiser who is, after all, just trying to change the world.
The reality is that with today's 'platform' approach to fundraising CRM (like Salesforce) one tool doesn't have to do it all. The option to add a range of different expert components and plugins means a whole world of different tools can be joined together without fuss to enhance the 'core' features of a system but also extend, grow and develop our fundraising operations, and can support other organisational functions, too. So actually, we can have something that does do it all with Salesforce as a CRM. That means the 'core' is our critical choice.
Find out more about Salesforce for Fundraising
Causeview as your 'core' choice
The Purple Vision team spent some time looking at the key features that are commonly used in fundraising. Not all fundraising teams need all of the features. Any decent fundraising strategy is unique in its own way, and so to help deliver the plan the features of fundraising tools need to reflect this., so for some, the feature might not be useful or interesting.
So when you come to benchmark a tool like Causeview, it's possible to have what appear to be some glaring gaps for a tool. I mention this now as when you look at the things we benchmark in our 'Game changing apps' overview, and the fact we are recommending a tool that has limited functionality in these areas, your temptation will be to ask some quite unflattering questions about what we're trying to say.
See the Salesforce CRM comparison via Game Changing apps
What we like about Causeview
One of the biggest things we like about Causeview is that it is what it is. It's not trying too hard to be something that it's not and overstep the mark and try and achieve everything. It's not a jack of all trades. It's quite clear who it's aimed at in the intro video – Debra, the slightly stressed fundraiser
Here's what else we like:
- Familiarity
For organisations using Raiser's Edge and looking to migrate over to a new platform with minimum fuss, the features and approach will be really familiar. We have experienced RE users on our team who, as they explore the tool, nodded along and saw the mapping. We have Salesforce only users in the team who also thought it all made sense when explained, and we have people who have used a range of other tools, too (ThankQ, Progress, CiviCRM) – who were pleased at how quickly they were able to 'get' the tool, layout and approach.
- Good, solid fundraising
The day-to-day bones of Causeview is about fundraising. Managing gifts, opportunities, major donors, batch entry processes, direct debits, gift aid, all the things you need and a data structure that will accommodate developments you might need. A logical campaign and appeals structure helps you allocate funds and keep track of all your codes.
- Scale-ability
If your strategy is to double your charity in 5 years, Causeview is a robust 'heart' to help you achieve this. Not only is it scale-able by user (so as you grow you can add more licenses), but the development roadmap for the system is focused on 'onwards and upwards' too. The approach of selecting a 'core' product and adding around it with the tools and plugins means that you're not tied to one full system and set of integrations. An example e could be the trigger at which you are ready to scale-up and include automations and digital donor journey – it is as simple as plugging in a new email service provider (if you are an acronym fan, that's ESP).
- Reportability
The dashboard features and functions allow you to create graphs and charts from any field within the tool. Reporting is real-time and easy to access – can be automatically send directly to the people who need to see key reports and is easy to 'play with' for creating new scenarios and 'what if' extrapolations. And because it's all in easy-to-use Salesforce, pretty much anybody can do these things for themselves!
- Event features
Basic event features are included with areas and elements to manage a range of event types and stages. Future developments for this module are planned too*
- Volunteers
The tool offers some superb volunteering features and ways of recording hours, signing up volunteers and keeping track of and reporting on volunteering hours.
Sticking our necks out
We love a bit of humour (our Ops Director Dan is the master of groan-worthy one liners). As we pondered the best way to demonstrate the system so fundraisers can see how it works 'in real life' – and to showcase Salesforce Marketing Cloud in due course – we hit upon a plan.
We know lots of charities with great stories but didn't want to just showcase one charity and can't adapt something personal for every charity we show the system to.
Our solution – invent our own charity so we can showcase examples under a single brand without crossing any lines or confidences. And so Giraffe Aid was born.
Giraffe Aid – our fake charity example – has taken on a bit of a life of its own now. It has a website, and a set up that has a programme, volunteers, fundraising events and a fantastic fundraising structure. If only real life was as easy as this!
We've been able to apply all kinds of giraffe-led humour and creativity to our working day. Comedy nights called 'you're having a giraffe' (for those who appreciate a bit of cockney-rhyming slang), developing imaginary giraffe education programmes, curating funny pictures.
All this 'fun' has had a purpose beyond making a demo a lot more interesting for a user. As a team we have spent a lot of time playing with the system to set it up. We know a lot about real-life implementation. We *know* the system as a user would. We're better placed than ever to not only implement the system but also to support and train new users to make the most of the data and explore it more effectively.
But seriously, see for yourself
If you'd like to see Causeview for yourself, you're very welcome to join us and take a peak. Whether because you're interested to see what the fevered fundraising minds at Purple Vision have cooked up with Giraffe Aid or are seriously interested in assessing your CRM options for the next 6-12 months.
We're running a series of demonstrations that will
- Explain the Salesforce platform
- Share how you can grow and expand the platform to suit your needs
- Showcase Causeview's fundraising features
- See how your fundraising strategy maps into a new tool

Woodrow's Trumpet: A Novel
Tim McLaurin
Down Home Press
$13.95 paperback
5 ½ x 8 ½
256 pages
Published in 1989
The farms of sleepy Oak Hills are losing ground to designer houses for yuppies in this heart-warming tale of the New South. When Woodrow Bunce builds a beach in his front yard complete with sand, palms, and plastic flamingos, the ordinance-seeking yuppies are in an uproar.
"McLaurin offers in this second novel (after The Acorn Plan) a group of richly drawn and memorable characters for whom we feel great affection . . . Three misfits band together to form a family that the townspeople—both old residents and new—of Oak Hills, N.C., cannot understand or accept. Woodrow Bunce, a gentle giant not right in the head since Vietnam, is descended from one of the rich, land-owning local families; he confounds his prosperous brothers by living independently on his small farm despite encroaching yuppie developments. When Nadean, a black former hooker and junkie, and Ellis, an orphan raised in a nearby boy's home, move in with Woodrow, the three find peace for the first time in their miserable lives. But Woodrow's gift to Nadean of a live palm tree and a pretend beach (complete with plastic flamingos) inflames the self-righteous Oak Hills newcomers. Zoning laws are used as a weapon against the bewildered Woodrow, and ugliness, violence, and tragedy ensue." —Publishers Weekly
"Set in modern-day North Carolina just outside Chapel Hill, this is the sad/funny tale of the transformation of a rural farming community into an upscale suburb. Woodrow Bunce, the not-all-there offspring of a wealthy tobacco family, and his black girlfriend Nadean, one-time Washington, D.C. dope addict, affront both the local whites and blacks as well as the yuppie carpetbaggers when Woody builds a beach in his front yard, complete with palm tree, sand, and flamingos. The beach is a threat to property values and sets off community fighting. The opening chapters exude much warmth, good will, and joy, and engender wonder in the storyteller's art. The intended message seems to be that while this is the New South, not all that much has changed." —Library Journal
"Woodrow's Trumpet is a mournful sound crying a theme as old as man. You'll hear it long after you leave the last page." —Greensboro News & Record
"Filled with humor, compassion and satire. Memorable characters the reader will be better for knowing." Atlanta Journal
"Honest like a dirt road. A brilliant mirror by which to see ourselves, darkly." Raleigh News & Observer

de la O, Marko, Magolnick & Leyton, P.A. and Parker & Waichman, LLP to Represent Citizens of Asia Against Bausch & Lomb, Maker of Renu With MoistureLoc Contact Lens Solution - BOLJul 21, 2006 | PrimeZone
The American law firms of de la O, Marko, Magolnick & Leyton, P.A. and Parker & Waichman, LLP announce they have been retained by citizens of Asia who have suffered severe damage to their eyes as a result of using Bausch & Lomb's (NYSE:BOL) ReNu with MoistureLoc(r) brand contact lens solution. de la O, Marko, Magolnick & Leyton and Parker & Waichman have been retained by many ReNu victims in the United States and abroad, all of whom have suffered severe injuries due to Bausch & Lomb's contact lens solution, including injuries requiring corneal transplant surgery and resulting in permanent vision loss.
One of the Asian clients, Teck-Meng Yong, was one of the first ReNu victims in Singapore to undergo a corneal transplant as a result of severe damage caused by the Fusarium fungus he contracted while using Bausch & Lomb's ReNu with MoistureLoc(r) brand contact lens solution. Another client from Asia is 19 year old Jermaine Tan, also from Singapore. In January of this year, Mr. Tan also underwent a corneal transplant as a result of severe damage caused by the Fusarium fungus contracted while using ReNu with MoistureLoc(r). Joel Magolnick, a partner at de la O, Marko, Magolnick & Leyton, stated, "According to Jermaine's doctors, the Fusarium fungus had almost eaten all the way through the cornea. One more day and it could have been too late. If Jermaine had not been treated in time, doctors would have had to remove his entire eye." Jermaine Tan has only recovered about 60 percent of the sight in his left eye, and his vision remains impaired.
Fungal keratitis is a severe infection of the cornea. Fusarium keratitis, one type of fungal keratitis, is often accompanied by symptoms of eye pain/discomfort, excessive watering or discharge from the infected eye, decrease in vision and increased sensitivity to light. Risk factors for infection usually include trauma (generally with plant material), chronic ocular surface diseases, immunodeficiencies and, very rarely, contact lens use. An estimated 30 million persons in the United States wear soft contact lenses; the annual incidence of microbial keratitis is estimated to be 4-21 per 10,000 soft contact lens users. Fungal keratitis is a condition more prevalent in warm climates. First-line treatment includes topical and oral antifungal medications; patients who do not respond to medical treatment usually require surgical intervention, including corneal transplantation. These infections are not transmitted from person to person. If not timely treated, Fusarium keratitis may lead to complete destruction of the cornea and loss of the eye itself.
In February 2006, Bausch & Lomb ceased sales of all ReNu(r) solutions in Singapore and Hong Kong after many users of ReNu with MoistureLoc(r) were diagnosed with Fusarium Keratitis. As of May 2006, researchers in Singapore had found 80 cases of Fusarium keratitis among contact lens wearers, nearly all of whom used ReNu with MoistureLoc(r).
On May 15, 2006, Bausch & Lomb announced that it was permanently removing ReNu with MoistureLoc(r) from the market worldwide. That same day, the FDA issued a press release stating: "Based on this scientific and epidemiological data suggesting that ReNu with MoistureLoc may increase susceptibility to Fusarium, Bausch & Lomb has decided to permanently remove the ReNu with MoistureLoc product worldwide." The recall followed Bausch & Lomb's conclusion that the product's formula may increase the risk of fungal eye infections in certain situations. Bausch & Lomb, Inc. and the FDA both acknowledged there is a problem in the chemical properties of ReNu with MoistureLoc after testing confirmed that the solution allows a polymer film to form around the Fusarium fungus, preventing the disinfectant in the product from killing the fungus.

We stayed at this hotel while doing an overnight in Madison using Hotwire. It turned out to be a really nice find. While the hotel has an older feel, particularly in the lobby and elevators, the room itself was very nice and the location was quite convenient for getting to downtown and the university. The area itself is a little light on services right around the hotel, but a short hop on the highway gets one to restaurants and shops. Very good stay indeed.

The Law and Economics of Article 82 EC
By Robert O'Donoghue, A Jorge Padilla
Useful to practicing lawyers and regulators throughout Europe, The Law and Economics of Article 82 EC is a comprehensive, integrated treatment of the legal and economic principles that underpin the application of Article 82 EC to the behavior of dominant firms. Traditional concerns of monopoly behavior, such as predatory pricing, refusals to deal, excessive pricing, tying and bundling, discount practices, and unlawful discrimination are treated in detail through a review of the applicable economic principles, the case law and decisional practice, and more recent economic and legal writings. In addition, the major constituent elements of Article 82, such as market definition, dominance, effect on trade, and applicable remedies are considered at length. Jointly authored by a lawyer and an economist, The Law and Economics of Article 82 EC contains an integrated approach to the legal and economic principles that frame competition policy in this major area of competition policy. The Law and Economics of Article 82 EC is the first comprehensive practitioners guide to Article 82 EC, and is essential reading for anyone with an interest in competition law enforcement against monopoly behavior.
