The use of digital technologies in conjunction with changing shopper behaviors is making eCommerce an indispensable part of CPG omnichannel success. Brands seeking to convert online consumers should focus their attention on convenience, and how important it is in the shopper journey. According to Jennifer Silverberg, CEO of SmartCommerce, "Consumers might not care that something is more expensive, but if they can order it online and they don't have to go to the store, they will."
eCommerce and its ease of entry is growing and brands are taking notice. In fact, strong growth is forecast in several eCommerce shopping channels:
- Computers and consumer electronics total $62.7B in 2017 and that number is expected to hit $97.6B by 2021[statista]
- Apparel and Accessories eCommerce dollar sales come in at $86B and is expected to reach $96.4B by 2021[statista]
- Auto and auto parts currently sit at $51.6B with growth projected to reach $57.4B in 2019[statista]
- U.S. online grocery sales totaled $7B in 2015 and that total is expected to more than double to $18B by 2020[statista]
The biggest driver of eCommerce growth continues to be Amazon. Amazon's success isn't just a byproduct of its huge inventory and rapid service. The online shopping behemoth, according to Yaakov Kimelfeld, Chief Research Officer for Kantar Media, "is not a retailer anymore; it is the largest behavioral marketing company in the world." Amazon understands shopper motivation not just with purchases but with research. Fifty-five percent of product research that led to a purchase started on Amazon.com compared to 28 percent of the same on search engines. Amazon is now the preferred starting point for product research. How did that happen?
Amazon's march toward eCommerce preeminence starts with its creative customer service model. Amazon lives at the perfect intersection between shopper and brand. By understanding shopper behaviors and patterns, they're able to create actionable plans that can make a more immediate impact for consumers. They've also built brand affinity and awareness by positioning brands in the immediate shopper path of purchase. With a heavy focus on the customer, Amazon can optimize constantly, giving their consumers more of what they're looking for, and driving conversions and shopper loyalty for brands. The shared success model is a driver of Amazon's eCommerce dominance.
Where does that leave retailers like Walmart? The shopping giant is responding by spending more on mobile and digital technologies to expand their online shopping capabilities. They've strengthened their presence in the eCommerce market with their purchases of men's internet clothing brand Bonobos, and the innovative online shopping company Jet.com. Another recent Walmart acquisition is Parcel, a New York-based same-day delivery startup that specializes in perishable grocery delivery, an attempt to leverage the former acquisitions and compete heavily in a market where they have no brick and mortar stores.
CPG brands know that being competitive in today's convenience shopping environment means the buying process needs to be as painless to the shopper as possible. Luring consumers into buying your product is only half of the equation. Giving them the easiest path to purchase the moment they want to purchase will win the day.

Each Glader is assigned a role based on what they can do best. There is a Keeper for each job, which the Newbie works with for a day. At the end of two weeks, the Newbie is chosen for a role in one of the jobs based on the work they did best.
(main article: First-in-Command)
(main article: Second-in-Command)
Runners are the only ones who are allowed to go out into the Maze. They are defined as the strongest, fastest, and best of the Gladers. Runners run the Maze everyday, trying to find a way out. The maps they make are saved in the Map Room. They leave when the doors open in the morning, and return right before the doors close. They also have equipment like trainers and watches that are unavailable to the rest of the Gladers.
(main article: Runner)
Builders are the ones who build most of the things around the Glade, such as structures and other simple items that would help with carrying and moving things around. They also upgrade the structures and buildings.
(main article: Builder)
Cooks are the Gladers responsible for preparing the meals of the Glade. They spend most of their time in the kitchen.
(main article: Cook)
Slicers feed and raise the livestock such as pigs, hogs, cows, sheeps, chickens, and turkeys, which are all kept in pens in the Blood House area. They also clean, fix fences, and scrape up klunk. They are the ones who slaughter the animals, such as hogs, so they can be prepared by the Cooks for eating.
(main article: Slicer)
Track-hoes do the hard work around the plants, like trenching.
Gardeners take care of the plants in the Gardens: weeding, pruning, planting seeds, and harvesting veggies are examples of the things they do.
(main article: Track-hoe)
Med-jacks are specialized Gladers who act as the equivalent to doctors in the Glade. Their roles are prominent in the first book, The Maze Runner. There are only two Med-jacks in the Glade.
(main article: Med-jack)
Sloppers are the Gladers who are not good at any of the jobs, so they help around the Glade mostly by doing the dirty tasks that other Gladers don't want to do, such as cleaning up the Blood House, the kitchen, toilets, and showers.
(main article: Slopper)
Bricknicks are the Gladers who have similar responsibilities to the Builders, but are mainly tasked with repairing structures.
(main article: Bricknick)
Blood Housers
Blood Housers are the Gladers who work in Blood House. Slicers presumably can be said as blood Housers since they help maintain the Blood House.
Baggers are the ones in charge of burying dead Gladers. They also act as guards and police around the Glade.
(main article: Bagger)
Map-makers are the ones who make the maps of the Maze.
(main article: Map-maker)
- Each Glader takes part in more than one job, helping other Gladers around the Glade whenever they can. However, their priorities lie with the jobs they were originally chosen for.
- Slopper is the lowest ranked job a Glader can have.
- There are no Bricknicks mentioned or introduced in the book and little to no information has been given about them or the work they do.
- In The Maze Runner, Newt says that they always send the Greenies to the Slicers as their first job.
- Zart refers to the Baggers as "creepy fellas".
- There are no known Map-makers in the Glade.
- It is guessed that Minho is the Keeper of the Map-makers due to the fact that the Runners are the ones who make the maps.
- In the book, Track-hoe and Gardener are two different jobs. In the movie, it is all the same.

If you're a Wells Fargo customer, employee or shareholder, this headline has to be THE question on your mind. . . Given Mr. Stumpf's recent testimony before the Senate, it may be the only question for him. What we know for sure is that the massive Wells Fargo fraud/cover-up will continue.
Attempting to respond to the rush of recent news stories, customer complaints and ultimately to his Senate testimony, John Gerard Stumpf, Wells Fargo CEO, released a minimal, dismissive, almost mindless, customer message on September 14, 2016. The email, apparently sent only to a fraction of customers, is actually an explanation of the plan to cover up the extraordinary and massive crimes against their customers and shareholders. The letter fails to admit or disclose any serious issues, provides virtually no helpful information to understand the extent of their deceit and there is no disclosure, penitential thinking or contriteness. None.
Like his earlier email, Mr. Stumpf's incoherent, uninformed, arrogant and clueless Senate testimony demonstrated that the bank has been largely leaderless throughout the nine years of his tenure. And yet, he managed to stumble, fumble and bungle into a $185 million fine involving literally millions of bogus customer transactions.
The following is an analysis of Mr. Stump's email. The document sums up the few known ingredients of the cover-up, and there is likely more to be uncovered if a thorough investigation is undertaken.
There is no real admission, only denials, of having knowingly caused harm to millions of customers.
He said: "Some Wells Fargo customers received products and services that they do not want or need."
Well duh!
Some? We actually don't know the number of affected customers and clearly Mr. Stumpf is shielding that information. The news accounts are piling up, documenting testimonies and data on the scope and extent of Wells Fargo's fraudulent behaviors.
He should have said: Millions of Wells Fargo customers were cheated and exploited without their knowledge by thousands of Wells Fargo employees. They were forced to purchase unwanted and unneeded merchandise, products and services. Going forward, we will find and publicly disclose the extent of our misdeeds. We apologize for victimizing you and disrupting your lives.
Stumpf denied direct responsibility for this extraordinary cultural failure and performance disaster, shifting the blame to lowly rogue employees. If he didn't know what was going on, how does he know that they're rogues?
He said: "Every day we strive to get things right. In this instance we did not – and that is simply not acceptable."
Good grief!
This is a most extraordinary statement for someone who, at the Senate hearing, claimed full responsibility for a situation he ignored for at least three years, and still claims to be in the dark about most of it.
This certainly resembles an enterprise-wide criminal conspiracy to deceive and defraud millions of customers. Hundreds, even thousands, of supervisors had to be aware of what was going on, yet said and did nothing. To stop the fraudulent behavior, so far, according to press accounts, more than 5,300 Wells Fargo employees have been fired. Stumpf, in his effort to cover for his leadership buddies, told (lied to) the Wall Street Journal that "there was no incentive to do bad things," when he had known and sanctioned the "do whatever it takes" culture in the retail division. Crimes and errors were hidden, ignored and minimized rather than reported, explained, disclosed and stopped. The wrongness of what transpired is likely to expand. This attitude of "high-fiving" unethical behaviors and humiliating honorable employees is very common in the financial industry.
He should have said: We intentionally fostered and encouraged an atmosphere of insidious and crime-inspiring, unethical behaviors, including:
No believable restitution, penance or significant punitive action meted out within the organization and its upper ranks.
He said: "So we're making it right. The first step we've taken is to fully reimburse any customers who were affected by these actions. We have been making some changes to how we do business over the last several years to ensure we are always aligned with our customers' interests. To that end, the second change is to ensure Team Members in our Retail Bank are compensated on what matters most: delivering great experiences and ensuring positive outcomes – not on product sales."
To that end, the senior level manager in charge of these fraudulent activities, Carrie Tolstedt, was allowed to retire and received a payment of nearly $125 million (the proverbial "Golden Zipper" to really zip her lips tight). What does she know that's worth so much money to buy her silence?
He should have said: We knew about it but did nothing until we were caught. Our behavior is reprehensible and we are working with independent experts to get our culture back under control. We will apologize through generous restitution as well as restoring ethical behaviors and business practices. Going forward:
There is absolutely no indication of repentance, humility, or recognition of the unnecessary pain and suffering caused by the situation to so many millions of customers.
He said: "Your trust and confidence in us is something we hold near and dear. I know I speak for our community of 268,000 dedicated Team Members when I thank you for giving us the opportunity to continue serving…"
Let's hope not. Let's hope at least hundreds of these 268,000 will stand up and keep hammering, exposing and disclosing what is happening within this institution.
He should have said: I am profoundly and humbly ashamed and apologize to our community of 268,000 dedicated, ethical team members for allowing this situation to come to this point. Every single one of us has the obligation to speak up. Silence is the greatest protector and authorizer of unethical and illegal behavior. We have established a new reporting system that we hope will root out this cancer in our company. Going forward there will be:
There is no direct request for public, customer or shareholder forgiveness from those whose lives have been so grievously interrupted in exchange for restitution and honorable, future behavior.
He said: "I thank you for giving us the opportunity to continue serving you and supporting your financial future."
Those still serving should have been terminated as a condition of the settlement and new tough supervision of the corporation should be established by the Federal Courts.
He should have said: I have offered my immediate resignation to the Board of Directors. I recognize that the needed change in culture, behavior and leadership expectations within this organization will only happen under new, more vigilant and vigorous, leadership and supervision across the Wells Fargo organization.
Question: Why is John Stumpf still Chief Executive Officer of Wells Fargo?
Answer: To cover his tracks and protect his co-conspirators, including members of the Board of Directors, who sanctioned or turned a blind eye toward this cover-up.
There needs to be an extensive criminal investigation.
In order to discover and stop crime and begin dramatically changing the behavior and culture of a company, to one of honesty, openness and integrity with accountability, transparency and disclosure, top people need to go. The current Wells Fargo settlement, however, keeps the same perpetrating executives, who created or allowed this fiasco, in charge of cleaning it up and preventing more problems from happening.
Fat chance.
Congress needs to interrogate Wells Fargo's Board of Directors to determine their knowledge of and participation in the fraudulent behavior. Anyone connected with this scandal should be terminated, if they haven't' been, forfeiting any pension benefits and other financial rewards they might have been entitled to. The major players, whether active or passive, in positions of high authority should be brought to justice.

Among the many daily activities performed by a medical device manufacturer, uniform compliance to the MDR for technical documentation is an especially time-consuming challenge. At Qserve Group, we are here to help analyze and identify a wide array of potential gaps across Clinical Evaluation reports, as well as technical documentation (such as Design Dossiers and Technical Files). An awareness of potential compliance gaps is an important first step towards planning a pathway to MDR compliance. As such, we would like to highlight several common gaps that are present in technical documentation being transitioned from the MDD to the MDR.
Chapter VI of the MDR covers the requirements concerning Clinical Evaluation and Clinical Investigations. A detailed guidance on Clinical Evaluation also exists (MEDDEV 2.7/1, Revision 4). Although MEDDEV 2.7/1 is not legally binding, most Notified Bodies require manufacturers to comply with MEDDEV 2.7/1 Revision 4 when performing clinical evaluations for medical devices.
In addition, while it is specific to the MDD, MEDDEV 2.7/1 Rev. 4 is regarded as a "stepping stone" to MDR compliance and contains many specifics which are not explicitly in the MDR at this time; however, they are extremely likely to be de facto requirements under the MDR.
Common gaps we have noticed for CERs, under the provisions of the MDR and MEDDEV 2.7/1 Rev. 4, include:
1. Lack of Clinical Evaluation Plans (CEPs) - under Annex XIV, manufacturers shall establish and update a clinical evaluation plan (CEP), including appropriate scoping of the clinical data provided, and providing criteria of how this clinical data is to be appraised. The MEDDEV 2.7/1 Rev. 4 also requires this CEP as a demonstration of the planning stage for a CER, which is often missing.
2. Establishing Equivalence – the MEDDEV 2.7/1 Rev. 3 requirements for demonstrating equivalence have been updated and are now more stringent under Revision 4, as well as the MDR. Full demonstration of clinical/biological/technical equivalence in device characteristics must be performed, taking into consideration all requirements of MEDDEV 2.7/1 Rev. 4. Some key points for manufacturers to consider.
a. If the equivalence route was previously established via comparison to a competitor device, the Notified Body will now challenge access to the competitor device's technical documentation. Under the MDR, for a Class III/implantable device, a contract with the owner of the equivalent device or demonstration of full access to the technical documentation of the equivalent device, will be required. In most cases, this type of access to proprietary information is not available, and manufacturers will need to reconsider their equivalence route – whether by using a different route of clinical evidence altogether or using their own devices for establishing equivalence.
b. In the case that the equivalence route is performed using only the manufacturer's own devices (or if a contract is in place between two manufacturers of the comparator devices), the criteria for biological and clinical equivalence provided in the MEDDEV 2.7/1 Rev. 4 are clear. However, the technical criteria are broader and would need to be defined on a case-by-case basis, to cover the type of device under evaluation. The manufacturer must justify the specific technical criteria chosen to justify equivalent design and critical performance specifications, for example. One way this might be done is via leveraging product specific standards. Oftentimes, ''substantial equivalence'' table, as required by the FDA, is substituted into a CER, but this is not the same requirement as determining equivalence under the MDR or MEDDEV 2.7/1 Rev. 4.
c. Once the technical criteria are clear and justified, a table of the specific clinical, technical and biological criteria for the device under evaluation vs the equivalent device(s) should be given. The Notified Body will then question any differences and why they are not significant, from the point of view of clinical safety and performance requirements as established for the main device (the subject of the CER). They will ask where the specific information for the comparator devices was derived from if the same test method was used to derive this information. Additionally, in the case of a significant deviation in results, a medical professional will need to make a formal justification of the clinical significance of the deviation.
Do you want to know more about our Clinical services
or follow one of our Clinical training courses?
1. Additional details required under MDR, such as: additional information for manufacturing and supplier steps, full analysis and results of testing summarized in the technical file and full descriptions on device compatibility and/or accessories to the medical device.
2. The format of the Technical Files and Declarations of Conformity must be updated according to the MDR (including Annex I, II, III and IV). We offer training in 'How to write a Technical File', please keep an eye on our events calendar.
3. The Essential Requirements checklist is to be updated to MDR (Safety and Performance Requirements Checklist), with special attention to be paid to:
a. GSPR 13.1 and 13.2 respectively, regarding additional requirements for devices that may contain derivatives of animal origin.
b. Instructions for Use (IFUs) and labeling should be updated to conform to GSPR 23. Additionally, EU-UDI requirements must be incorporated in both the Technical Documentation as well as the labeling/IFU.
c. GSPR 10.4 on Hazardous Substances is especially noted, as it is now requiring extensive justification in regard to potential patient or user exposure to the/any Carcinogenic, Mutagenic or toxic to Reproduction (CMR substances) or endocrine-disruptor substances in certain devices.
As it can be seen, a variety of elements from the MDR and MEDDEV 2.7/1 Rev. 4 now require additional attention from medical device manufacturers, among many others.
Please keep an eye on our website, we will have an updated blog later on with MORE learnings from the gap analyses we do.
For any specific questions, you may have regarding your device's compliance to the new regulations, feel free to reach out below at: 0031 (0)20 78 82 630 or send a mail to email@example.com

We believe...You Were Made to Make a Difference
We believe God created you to make a difference! And we are passionate about helping you get connected to God, His church, and your purpose. "Church" is more than a building or an hour of worship. "Church" means "gathering" and you play a unique and vital role in the family of faith. God calls us to "go to church" and "BE the church!" Let us help you find your next step!
"The human body has many parts, but the many parts make up one whole body. So it is with the body of Christ." 1 Corinthians 12:12 (NLT) "God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another." 1 Peter 4:10 (NLT)
What to Expect
When you show up for the first time, you'll find a large building with two large parking lots, one on the North and one on the East.
You can choose any of the three entrances:
The North Entrance is closest to the Student's Area.
The Children's Entrance and the Main Entrance are both on the southeast and both provide easy drive-up access.
The Main Entrance is where you'll find the Information Center and the Worship Center.
The Children's Entrance is where you'll find the Children's Lobby and Coffee Shop.
During the Worship Service:
…we have a dedicated worship band leading us in worship.
…we have preaching directly from the Bible each week.

Are your Saturday and Sunday services the same?
Yes! All of our four services (Saturday at 6:00pm, Sunday at 8:30am, 9:45am and 11:15am) provide inspiring music, Bible teaching, and separate children's programming. Come early and enjoy complimentary coffee and donuts!
Can my children attend church with me?
Yes! Your children may attend the worship service with you, but we LOVE our children's ministry and highly recommend you let your children experience our spiritual-growth focused, age-appropriate programming!
Can I wear something comfortable to worship?
Sure! Some like to be comfortable when they worship. Others prefer to be dressed formally. Generally speaking, we're pretty casual. We'll leave the details up to you!
Do you practice baptism?
Yes! If you are still exploring what you believe, don't worry – we'll let you participate in baptism when you are ready. If you are already a believer, but you haven't chosen to be baptized as a decision you made personally, we'll give you an opportunity at each service to obey Jesus in this way. The Bible teaches us to believe in Jesus, repent and turn to God, say publicly we believe in Jesus ("The Great Confession"), and be baptized. Baptism is an immersion under water that signifies a burial of the old life and a resurrection into a new life.
Do you take communion?
Yes! We invite all believers to share communion with us each week. We honor the privilege of proclaiming Jesus' death until He comes again and believe it draws us close to Him and each other as the "body of Christ."

(Crain's) — Illinois' unemployment rate dropped a bit in July, even as the state lost 20,200 jobs.
The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 10.3% in July, compared with 10.4% in June, according to data released Thursday by the Illinois Department of Employment Security. Illinois had a jobless rate of 10.5% in July 2009.
IDES said July marked the seventh month that unemployment has either held steady or fallen.
Still, Illinois has higher unemployment than the national average, which was at 9.5% in July.
The majority of the Illinois jobs lost in July — nearly 15,000 — came from the construction industry, according to IDES data. Other sectors that saw losses included government, and leisure and hospitality.
The total statewide workforce was just over 5.6 million in July.
Some industries did see job growth last month, such as manufacturing, which added 3,800 workers. That was the sector's biggest one-month jump since April 1995, according to state data.
Education and health services, as well as professional and businesses services, also grew in July.

Lest We Forget
Last updated 1/18/2017 at 7:30pm
While the political nightmare from which we hope to awaken spreads around us — it will get much worse, and America may lose its ethical standing in the world, all the restraints on environmental damage, many of the programs that support the poor and the disabled, any chance of economic fairness — let us not forget how we got here.
Don't forget the long political assassination of Hillary Clinton, and how many people participated. Trump led the attack — of insults and lies, repeated so often that they formed a kind of chanted, poisonous lullaby that seeped into our national consciou...

Took a trip down to London town to see the PB Portraits Awards at the National Portrait Gallery.
Lots of inspiring images and talented artist, gives you a real perspective of just how far you have got to go with your own art.
Not sure I agreed with the winning selection but like all art there is a lot of opinion out there.
For me the winning picture was painted by Jean-Paul Tibbles of his son Jean, A striking picture that grabbed your attention, in close second for me was the picture by Stephen Earl Rogers of his Nephew Haydn, taking its inspiration for the opening scene of the film Goodfellas it had a wonderful cinematic feel to it.
As there was no restrictions on picture taking this year I guess its got too hard to police folks and their phones , here are a few of the other paintings I liked.

Gone are the days of manually editing your
AndroidManifest.xml and
info.plist files. Sidekick helps you to configure some of the most annoying and confusing options and settings for both Android and iOS.
Plugin Discovery and Management
A few months back we released the NativeScript Marketplace. Not only can you find any NativeScript plugin you need, but the Marketplace also introduced the concept of verified plugins.
What does this have to do with NativeScript Sidekick? Well, for starters, Sidekick lets you easily discover new plugins for your app, with a friendly UI:
Note that today Sidekick searches NPM directly, but will soon utilize the NativeScript Marketplace. More importantly, though, Sidekick will also let you know when an existing plugin needs to be updated. And the update is a click of a button:
Icons and Splashscreens
One of the more annoying parts of mobile app development, creating, updating, and managing your app icons and splashscreens is a huge pain. Today Sidekick provides a clean interface for viewing all of your app icons and splashscreens created for your app.
However, in the future, we plan on introducing a feature to Sidekick to actually create app icons and splashscreens for you, from one source image! In the meantime, you may want to check out the NativeScript Image Builder.
App Settings
Don't let manually editing your
info.plist in Xcode get you down! NativeScript Sidekick obfuscates all of the cruft away so you can focus on the OS-specific settings you care about.
The pleasing UI provided on top of both iOS- and Android-specific settings makes it a matter of a few clicks to set:
- Android and iOS permissions;
- Supported screen orientations;
- Background modes (iOS);
- Build versions/targets and more!
Thank You!
Thanks for reading up on the Week of NativeScript Sidekick! Hopefully, you find NativeScript Sidekick to be a useful component of your NativeScript development workflow. If you have any comments or suggestions, please sound off on our GitHub issues page.

Inspired by Loss to Change Lives
Amidst the growing chatter of happy people, the ballroom glowed as it began to fill with guests. Rows and rows of tables decorated in white and yellow were filled with hundreds of fantastic auction items, generously donated by local businesses eager to support a good cause. And the reason for the celebration? A little boy called Ryan and his incredible family.
Ryan brought joy into the lives of everyone he encountered. He often had a twinkle in his eye and an infectious smile, despite experiencing many setbacks after being born with a rare congenital disorder known as Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum. At age seven, he left earth unexpectedly. That was two years ago. Inspired by his life, his family has devoted so much of their time to turn their loss into a fierce support for helping other children like Ryan who live with disabilities.
Last year, Ryan's Rays Dinner & Auction raised over $50,000 that went towards improving inclusive education at two schools in Asella and Robe, Ethiopia. Six children with significant disabilities were able to start attending school at Horizons Academy thanks to renovations that provided a second Child Development Unit as well as a new fully accessible outdoor play area for all the children to enjoy together. In addition, forty children living with disabilities in Robe were given brand new classrooms. Read more about the impact here.
Last month, the second annual Ryan's Rays Dinner & Auction saw another massive outpouring of support and generosity from local businesses through their donations as well as hundreds of friends, family and community members who showed up to participate in the celebration. Along with fun games like balloon pop, heads and tails, and a raffle, there were heartfelt speeches and videos honouring Ryan as well as some of the children who are already benefiting from funds raised. Over $60,000 has already been raised this year and donations to the cause are still coming in so that more children in Ethiopia will be able to participate in inclusive education.
We're so grateful to everyone who attended and donated and most especially to Arlene, Cliff and Devon who are so intentionally choosing to use their loss to fuel a passion for helping others.
Please look for an opportunity to participate in Ryan's Rays next spring!

We're so excited to be working with Manan in Spain, otherwise known as 'The Almond Experts'. What makes Manan so great? They use sustainable farming methods to produce our hydrating almond oil. They only use broken nuts that can't be sold for food and turn unwanted almond husks into compost to help minimise waste, and we think that's pretty great.

Rosaelena "Rosie" O'Neil, a member of the NOVA College Board representing Arlington County, has been elected as an at-large member of the Association of Community College Trustees (ACCT) Board. O'Neil was one of nine candidates elected last week to the 26-member board and will serve a three-year term. The two main functions of the ACCT Board involve national-level advocacy as well as trustee education to strengthen community college leadership.
"As a trustee from one of the largest community colleges in the country, Rosaelena O'Neil represents a diverse and dynamic student body," said ACCT President and CEO J. Noah Brown. "Her business acumen and impressive experience as a federal administrator at the National Security Council and the Treasury Department will bring important insights to the ACCT Board."
The ACCT is a nonprofit educational organization of governing boards, representing more than 6,500 elected and appointed trustees who govern over 1,200 community, technical and junior colleges in the United States and beyond. A major voice of community college trustees to the president, U.S. Congress, the departments of Education and Labor and more, ACCT educates community and technical college trustees through annual conferences focused on leadership development and advocacy, as well as through publications and online and face-to-face institutes and seminars.
"Rosie is a valued member of the NOVA College Board and an important advocate for education in this region," said Todd Rowley, NOVA Board chairman. "With this appointment, she furthers her commitment to community college students across the nation as well as at NOVA."
NOVA President Scott Ralls said, "The ACCT is an important organization to represent the important work done by community colleges nationally and globally. Rosie O'Neil has represented well one of America's largest community colleges, and she is well-prepared to help lead at the national level."
O'Neil is associate director of the Landegger Program in International Business Diplomacy at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service. She received an M.B.A. from Harvard University Business School and a bachelor's in international economics with honors in International Business Diplomacy from Georgetown. She has worked in both the public and private sectors, holding positions at the National Security Council; the U.S. Department of the Treasury; J.P. Morgan, Financial Advisory; and M&A, Latin America. Her areas of specialty include strategy development, program development and management, academic and career advising.
NOVA College Board members serve a term of four years, and O'Neil will serve on NOVA's Board until June 2017. She also serves as a board member for Arlington Public Schools, where she is a member of the Career, Technical and Adult Education Committee and, from 2011-2013, she co-chaired the APS Advisory Council on Instruction. She is also an Eagle Scout Coach and a member of Leadership Arlington.

When I became a Christian in November of 2000, I was completely intimidated by Bible study. I mean, seriously.. there's a lot that can be misinterpreted. I didn't grow up in a church setting, so I knew very little about what words like covenant, propitiation, repentance, and conversion meant. So what did I do? I started with a children's illustrated story Bible. As I read about those Bible heroes, my mind slowly began to see the story of God unfold.
Since I struggled so much in my study time, I began to seek out a variety of Bible study methods and as I tried them, I was able to narrow them down to one that I liked the most. I wanted a method at an elementary level so that I wouldn't become overwhelmed. If the method is more difficult than the passage that I'm studying, I become discouraged and put it down.
The easiest method that I have found to date is the S.O.A.P method.
S: Scripture~ Choose a passage that you would like to use. Try to start with just a few verses.
O: Observations~ What do you see? Make a list of every thing that stands out to you. Pay attention to commands or lists. Write down words or phrases that are repeated.
A: Application~ How can you take what you observed and apply those commands to your life? What is it that the text is asking you to do in response to what you read? This is where you will turn your observations toward yourself and start to ask yourself questions about how you can respond.
P: Prayer~ This is where you ask the Lord to help you take what you observed and apply that to your life. It will be by the leading of the Holy Spirit that you will hear Him speak. Take this time to listen and as you go about your day, you will find that you will have opportunities to apply what you've been studying.
I hope you are able to take this method of Bible study and find that it is the simplest way to dig into Scripture! It is through this method that my children have begun to study independently. Take your time and enjoy being in God's Word!
Till next time!

Rutgers salvages series with Hatters with shutout win
By scheduling tough teams, Rutgers head baseball coach Fred Hill tested the Scarlet Knights. Now the Knights leave spring break a revitalized squad with five wins in eight games.
Rutgers' toughest test was against No. 14 Stetson. The team entered DeLand, Fla., without a victory against a ranked team.
The Knights left with Sunday's 7-0 victory on Stetson's home field.
Rutgers (8-9) won after dropping its first two games against the Hatters. The bounce-back victory was exactly what the Knights needed before tomorrow's home opener against Rider.
"Playing against these caliber of teams will only help once we get back home," Hill said.
Out-of-conference play has allowed Rutgers to make adjustments without consequence to its goal of winning the Big East.
No player entered the season with more unpredictable expectations than senior third baseman Pat Kivlehan.
The West Nyack, N.Y., native began his first season of college baseball after four years on the Rutgers football team. He started the year as a No. 7 hitter. After a month in the lineup, Kivlehan now hits cleanup.
The third baseman is as surprised as anyone.
"I have no idea," Kivlehan said on why he moved to No. 4 in the order. "I don't ask questions. I just go ahead and do what Coach [Hill] says."
In the final game of the Stetson series, the lineup change worked. Kivlehan went 3-for-5 and crossed the plate twice.
Junior pitcher Rob Corsi is another Knight in transition as he continues his first year as a starter. In Sunday's start, Corsi (3-2) pitched like he had been starting his whole career, ending with a shutout.
Corsi carried the momentum of Rutgers rotation, a day removed from junior lefty Rob Smorol's seven shutout innings.
But the Knights' 4-3 loss was credited to junior closer Jerry Elsing (0-1), the pillar of consistency in the Rutgers pitching staff.
Elsing allowed zero earned runs in his previous six appearances, but the Hatters scored four runs off the reliever in his 1/3 innings of work to erase the Knights' 3-0 lead in the bottom of the ninth.
But Hill was happy with how the dominance of Corsi and Smorol clinched one victory and nearly another.
"I feel like our starters are coming around, and we are getting consistent outings from them each time," Hill said. "Smorol and Corsi give us two solid lefties."
The Rutgers lineup also steadily improved throughout the weekend. It recorded 11 hits Saturday and 17 on Sunday.
But in Friday's 3-0 loss, the Knights notched only six hits and only advanced past second base twice. Junior catcher Jeff Melillo did so in the eighth inning on Kivlehan's fielder's choice, and Kivlehan made it in the sixth on a passed ball.
Rutgers displayed flashes in its hitting, especially from March 10-14 in four consecutive victories. The Knights scored six runs or more in two games apiece against Florida Atlantic and Florida Gulf Coast.
It gives the Knights reason to believe they can put it together at Bainton Field and in Big East play.
"I am seeing some really positive at-bats," Hill said, "but we still need to continue to develop and do the little things necessary to bring in runs, especially in close games."

Particle-Kinetic Theory
The Kinetic theory of matter states that all matter is made up of particles, and exists in one of three states, either solid, liquid or gas.
Their arrangements are often summarised as follows:
In the solid state the particles are packed together in an ordered, regular pattern with strong bonds holding the particles together.
When heat is applied and eventually breaks the strong bonds between the particles the solid melts.
When heat is applied to a solid, its temperature rises, but when the solid begins to melt, the heat supplied is used to break the bonds. Hence the temperature remains constant until all the solid has melted.
The liquid state consists of particles in constant motion, free to pass over one another.
Forces of attraction still exist, which prevent liquid particles from escaping, but these forces are much weaker than in a solid.
If the liquid is now supplied with heat, its temperature rises, but as the liquid boils the temperature remains constant as this heat is used to overcome the forces between the liquid particles allowing them to become widely separated.
This process is called vaporisation, and the substance is now in the gaseous state.
The particles are free to move randomly in any direction, and forces between particles are weak or negligible.
This steady temperature as a substance changes state can be observed for the reverse processes of liquefying and freezing. In these cases bonds are made, not broken during the change of state.

Henrike Schulte to Bühne handed in her M.Sc. thesis "Quantifying land cover change using remote sensing data in a transboundary protected area" supervised by Nathalie Pettorelli (ZSL) and me. From the abstract: Biodiversity is declining at unprecedented rates as a result of global environmental change, threatening ecosystem stability and resilience, on which human well-being ultimately depends. Transboundary cooperation is being promoted as an effective way to conserve biodiversity that straddles national borders. However, monitoring the ecological outcomes of these large-scale endeavours is challenging, and as a result, the factors and processes likely to shape their effectiveness remain poorly identified and understood. To address this knowledge gap, this thesis quantified loss and fragmentation of natural vegetation across the W-Arly-Pendjari transboundary protected area complex, a key biodiversity hotspot in West Africa. Land cover maps for 2000, 2006 and 2013 were generated by combining open source optical remote sensing data with spectral change analyses and supervised classification algorithms to quantify loss and fragmentation of natural vegetation as a result of agricultural expansion. There was widespread agricultural expansion outside protected areas between 2000 and 2013, whereas expansion was limited inside protected areas. Additionally, natural vegetation was less fragmented inside than outside protected areas. Protected areas with high protection status appeared considerably more effective at preventing land conversion, and had less fragmented natural vegetation, than other protected areas. There were marked differences in cropland expansion rates between countries, which might be linked to differences in rural population growth. Altogether, these results indicate that transboundary protected areas can be relatively successful at reducing human pressure on biodiversity. However, there can be considerable spatial heterogeneity in anthropogenic pressure across transboundary protected area complexes, which highlights the need for more comprehensive assessments of this mode of biodiversity protection; these assessments could capitalise on the current availability of remote sensing information.

Residents at the Hibiscus Coast Village, in Red Beach, celebrated the re-opening of their recently-renovated café and bar on February 30.

Metlifecare, which is building the nearby Gulf Rise retirement development, expects the first 55 apartments to be ready by mid-year.
As temperatures soar in New Zealand, residential aged care facilities are being urged to be mindful of the effects of the heat on older people, and especially those with medical conditions.
Canterbury District Health Board medical officer Alistair Humphrey says New Zealanders should not be complacent, as the weather is at an extremely dangerous level.
He says elderly and young children are particularly vulnerable, and Kiwis should make sure they are stocked up on fluids all day long and keep the windows open.
"Elderly people, who don't regulate heat quite as well, are coming into emergency departments dizzy from not having drunk enough and are not wearing hats."
Older people can suffer from the results of poor circulation caused by rising temperatures. Symptoms include dizziness, dry skin, swelling and shortness of breath.
Higher body temperatures can also disturb the body's normal biological cycle, which regulates physical health, cognition and emotions. It can lead to altered sleep quality.
Increased sweating can result in uncomfortable clamminess and losses of fluid.
It is important to try to keep cool and hydrate.
Lecturer at the School of Medicine and Public Health at the University of Newcastle, in Australia, Dr John Van Der Kallen, advises increased vigilance when it comes to the elderly, encouraging friends and family to check in on those at risk.
Dr Van Der Kallen says being proactive in regard to dehydration, especially as certain medicines dehydrate the elderly, is key.
"Often the reason the elderly is at risk is they are on medication," he says. "Their physiological responses to heat are not the same as a younger person. A younger person might feel thirsty earlier, might feel weak earlier and might get headaches earlier. An elderly person's responses can be quite dulled.
"We have to start adapting to these events. This year has been unprecedented, but unfortunately this is what is going to happen as the world gets hotter."
Experts say those most vulnerable to the heat were elderly, pregnant people, babies, and those who already had medical conditions. But healthy adults who work outdoors and those people who were in institutions like prisons, hospitals and residential care are also especially vulnerable. Article courtesy, healthcentral.nz

Frazer Sundown
1 Nomination
My name is Frazer Sundown. I come from the Oneida Nation and I am of the Turtle Clan. I grew up on the Tonawanda Indian Reservation near Basom New York, where I developed my gift of singing and love of Indigenous music. I now reside in London, Ontario while attending school to become a language teacher. My influence of music came from my father and mother as I travelled with them to many ceremonies, socials, and powwows.
In life we go through so many ups and downs as it can be a roller coaster sometimes. The songs on this album are meant to express these feelings of being up and down and are a variety of love songs and War Dance songs because without love there cannot be war and without war there cannot be love. As my father introduced me to the Longhouse, Powwow, and Roundance style of music, I developed my own sound creating songs that give much pleasure to listeners and dancers to jam out.

Biofeedback for the Brain
Paul G. Swingle
Rutgers University Press, 2008 (2008)
Reviewed by Deb Kincaid
aul G. Swingle, PhD, author of
Biofeedback for the Brain: How Neurotherapy Effectively Treats Depression, ADHD, Autism, and More
, likens biofeedback to physical exercise. Physical exercise strengthens muscles; biofeedback exercises the brain to work more efficiently. It's the brain's inefficiencies that cause symptoms characteristically labeled depression, bipolar disorder, autism, and others related to mental functioning and emotion. Once the inefficiencies are corrected, the symptoms disappear, and quality of life soars. Not only that, the process is painless and without side effects!
iofeedback for the Brain
explains how neurotherapy began, how the brain's activity is measured and analyzed, and how the inefficiency is corrected. He shows how biofeedback partners with other disciplines such as psychotherapy or family counseling to produce optimal results quickly. Commonly asked questions are straightforwardly answered within question boxes scattered throughout the text. Too, numerous patient case histories are related that demonstrate the effectiveness of neurotherapy.
wingle states, '
Our ability to focus and comprehend is central to every facet of our existence. In order to enjoy the richness of life, we should not have to spend years taking drugs such as Ritalin or Prozac.
' The author is not a champion of medicating our children or ourselves, and laments the '
pharmaceutical domination
' found in health care. Swingle references hundreds of scientific papers and studies demonstrating the effectiveness of neurotherapy.
wingle has over thirty years experience in the neurotherapy field, and is a practicing psychologist, certified in biofeedback and neurotherapy, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
iofeedback for the Brain
is refreshing, inspiring, and authoritative. If you or a loved one suffers from emotional or psychological disorders, read this book. Then, look to neurotherapy as your primary care choice, rather than the one of last resort.

Paris, by Ashwin Rao
Image Source: http://www.stevehuffphoto.com/2012/08/24/taking-photos-in-the-city-of-light-the-leica-m9-and-fuji-xpro-1-in-paris-by-ashwin-rao/
Ashwin Rao, well-known proponent and user of the Leica M9, has shared an amazing set of images from a recent trip to Paris.
(Click Here) to read Ashwin's post on stevehuffphoto.
Ashwin presents many photos in this post, and links to even more. His work is always worth checking out.
Ashwin describes in words his impressions of the "City of Light," sharing with us the tastes, sights, and feel of the city.
I have never been to France, so maybe this post falls into my "traveling through the lens of others" category. It certainly makes me want to go. In fact, take a look at Ashwin's relative's blog to get even more of that feel.
(Click Here) for laviemaraisienne.com, a blog about city life in Paris
One point Ashwin makes, even though he's a self-admitted victim of Gear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS), is to not neglect your existing equipment. I think he's right, that buying new gear tends to make us photographers shoot more. But, we should not forget the capabilities of our existing cameras. For me, some of my favorites are also some of the oldest.
On this trip, Ashwin took a Leica M9 and a Fuji XPro-1. Hard to believe that these two are no longer new, but September is expected to bring the announcement of an M10 and XPro-2.
Anyway, Ashwin shares that he used the M9 about 75% of the time, mostly due to familiarity. The XPro-1 came in handy in low light situations, because of its improved high iso noise performance. But, the XPro-1 reportedly has some focus-lag (I have not tried one, just handled a mock-up in Japan). So, Ashwin felt that he was less likely to capture the moment with the XPro-1.
While Ashwin remarked that the M9 has allowed him to select the classic 35-50-90mm focal lengths for most of his photography, I note that he also took along a 21 mm Super-Elmar. He didn't mention which lenses he used on the XPro-1, but I assume they were Fuji lenses, rather than using the Leica lenses with and adapter, since he referred to lag in autofocus.
I found Ashwin's images to be a wonderful taste of Paris. Thanks for taking us along, Ashwin!

From indie horror author and bestselling sensation Ania Ahlborn, this brand-new supernatural thriller questions: how far would you go for success, and what would you be capable of if the promise of forever was real?
With his marriage on the rocks and his life in shambles, washed up crime writer Lucas Graham is desperate for a comeback. So when he's promised exclusive access to notorious cult leader and death row inmate Jeffrey Halcomb, the opportunity is too good to pass up. Lucas leaves New York for the scene of the crime—a split-level farmhouse on the gray-sanded beach of Washington State—a house whose foundation is steeped in the blood of Halcomb's diviners; runaways who, thirty years prior, were drawn to his message of family, unity, and unconditional love. Lucas wants to tell the real story of Halcomb's faithful departed, but when Halcomb goes back on his promise of granting Lucas exclusive information on the case, he's left to put the story together on his own. Except he is not alone. For Jeffrey Halcomb promised his devout eternal life…and within these walls, they're far from dead.
I picked this up last year at NYCC.
I enjoyed Within These Walls immensely. At 447 pages and taking me only 5 days to read, it's a true page turner.
It stirs up all kinds of emotions. I was nervous, spooked, annoyed, angry, and saddened.
The f—ed up mentality, abuse, and manipulative behavior of the cult is really well developed; as was the loneliness, desperation, and vulnerabilty of the victims.
The story goes back to 1982/83 and forward to present day with some inclusions of articles, incident reports, and paranormal reports – which I really enjoyed. It connected everything really well.
This is one of those books that will keep me thinking for a few days. I have a book hangover. I even thought of a playlist that would go well with it:
-"Father Figure" by George Michael. The whole song is Jeff Halcomb.
-"Big God" by Florence + the Machine. "You need a big God. Big enough to hold your love." and "You always were my favorite ghost."
-""Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" by Eurythmics. The whole verse about wanting to use and abuse and be used and abused.
There are some issues though which made me decide to downgrade it by 1 point. While I really liked the way it ended because it remained true to the powerful and ominous direction it was headed all along (and I think leaves it open for a sequel) not everything is answered and they are pretty important plot holes.
4 out of 5 Ornate Crosses.
These are major spoilers so enter at your own risk!
My sister already read it and told me there were going to be plot holes. This is what she wrote in her review and since I pretty much agree and am being very lazy I am copying and pasting:
"Why did Jeffrey want Audra/Avis to get pregnant? What was the point of the baby in the sacrifice? Did Jeff plan to kill himself during the first sacrifice (along with his followers) but the cops walking in ruined his plan? And if he did plan to kill himself back in 1983, which body/vessel was he going to use to resurrect himself? And what happened to his followers at the end of the book? They woke up, but then what? And what was the stuff Maggie had to take care of after the sacrifice? Her history with Jeff back in Veldt was mentioned, but never delved into. I wanted more of that."
My own questions: Where did the baby's soul go?
Did Jeff plead guilty at his trial?
I want to ask Ania Ahlborn these questions!

Elder Patriot – North Dakota's Republican challenger to incumbent Democratic Senator Heidi Heitkamp has catapulted into a 10-point lead (51-41%) in the latest poll conducted by Strategic Research Associates, LLC.
Significantly, this puts Republican Representative Kevin Cramer over the 51% threshold that guarantees victory – even if all of the remaining undecideds broke for Heitkamp.
A poll conducted by Fox News in early September, prior to Christine Blasey-Ford's allegations surfacing, showed the race in a statistical dead heat.
Keep in mind this latest SRA poll was conducted between September 17th to 27th, a period when accuser Christine Blasey-Ford was enjoying the full weight of her allegations relentlessly repeated by the mainstream media.
It wasn't until late in the afternoon of the poll's final day that President Trump's Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was given a chance to defend himself.
It was also when Chairman Charles Grassley leveled his own allegations against corrupt Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein for orchestrating, along with the radical left wing activist attorneys that she recommended Ford engage, what voters overwhelmingly see as a national disgrace. (prompt to 4:20)
And, it was also the day that Lindsey Graham went on a tirade, warning against ever handing power over to this group of Democrats again.
He stopped short of call them Bolsheviks or Marxists, or referring to their tactics as Stalinist, but everyone knew where he was going.
The poll found that the confirmation of Judge Kavanaugh is the single most important issue to North Dakotans, by nearly double the next two issues combined.
In another question that SRA poll asked, 60% of the likely voters in North Dakota said they supported the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court while only 27% said they were opposed.
As we've reported previously, the Dems, whether through desperation or miscalculation, have embarked on a suicide course. The guess here is President Trump's amazing record of delivering on his promises have left them without any real options on which to run against him, or candidates who support him.
That's desperation.
In 2016, President Trump swept the state's three electoral college votes by a 36-point margin.
