For this, our last Getting to Know You installment here on the blog (for now), we are introducing you to our Shipping Manager Nicole. She is the most recent addition to our team, having only been here for about 5 months. Nicole's positive attitude and easy-going ways have been a wonderful addition to the team. Each day she processes orders with a smile on her face. We don't know what we would do without her. Read on to see how she ended up in Wisconsin and found herself a part of the Maple Valley team!
Making the Move
It has been three years since Nicole moved to the Cashton, WI area from Colorado to be closer to her family and give her children a change of pace. For the first couple of years, she focused on direct sales and being there for her family. She helped them get setup on the farm they had inherited from her grandparents with goats and chickens, and showed her kids how to care for them. Over time, however, she decided it was time to get away from direct sales, so she began her search for a local job.
She saw the ad for a Production Assistant position at Maple Valley Cooperative on Indeed one day while she was browsing. Her first thought was "Wow! I love maple syrup!" and she decided to send in her resume. A couple of weeks later, she got called in for an interview. She was surprised by all of the things going on at the headquarters. Where she had expected to find only an office, there was a full production warehouse. She was drawn to the flexibility of the job and the passion the people who worked their showed for their jobs. She decided to take the job.
Something New
For the first couple of weeks in her new role, Nicole focused on learning the product variations, sizes, and types. She learned the proper packing technique for glass bottles, which was much different than packaging the clothing she used to sell. Once she had a grasp on shipping, she started to help with production. She learned to label & fill bottles and build boxes. She also started helping with building pallets and wrapping them.
In her experience selling clothing, she had been in charge of sales, marketing, packing, shipping, and invoices. Because of this, it was very natural for her to expand her role at Maple Valley. She took on customer service as well as processing incoming orders. It wasn't long before she was given the title of Shipping Manager. Now in charge of the entire shipping process from start to finish she can anticipate what is coming and ensure that every order is well managed from start to finish.
The Future & Beyond
In the future she would like to see Maple Valley continue to grow, and her role to grow with it. She hopes to continue to grow her skills and knowledge so that she can process orders with greater efficiency. She also hopes to find a streamlined packaging solution to minimize storage.
When she isn't at work, Nicole likes to spend time with her husband Jack & two children ages 12 & 9. They like to be outside, work on the farm, and explore the area. In the winter, much of her time is spent on the children's hockey hobby.
"Growing up, the organic lifestyle was very important to my mom. Until I had kids, it didn't click. But now, with kids, I want to provide them with every opportunity to live that as well. Knowing what I know now, the things that go into our food, less is more." – Nicole

Justin Thomas might still be best known as Jordan Spieth's buddy—but he's also known as a big part of the social media explosion that was SB2K16. On this week's edition of GOLF LIVE, Thomas opened up about his much buzzed-about getaway in the Bahamas last month with Spieth, Rickie Fowler and Smylie Kaufman.
"None of us had ever had a spring break," Thomas told host Ryan Asselta. "We're just a bunch of young guys trying to have fun. We need to act our age sometimes."
That meant forgetting about the stresses of Tour life. Thomas said the group never brought up or talked about Spieth's very public collapse at the Masters. "What happens on the golf course doesn't really define us when we're around each other," he said.
Thomas added that he's hopeful that the trip will become an annual tradition.
The 23-year-old also talked about what it's like to play golf with University of Alabama coach Nick Saban. Thomas played golf at the University of Alabama and remains a devoted fan of the Crimson Tide football team—including the coach. Thomas praised the famously intense Saban's skills on the course and said that Saban was "serious" about his golf game.
As for the U.S. Open at Oakmont, for Thomas it will be a kind of homecoming. Thomas's extended family lives in the Pittsburgh area and he has been visiting since he was a child.

Talk about keeping busy.
Anthem United is keeping its corporate plate full as it continues to change the face of a large chunk of land in the south part of the city, west of Macleod Trail.
On the heels of Belmont, which is now in the second phase of development with more than 100 homes sold to date and with its own townhome project launching there in September, the company has started to reshape more of the former agriculture and grazing land into two new communities — Sirocco at Pine Creek and its sister community Pine Creek.
Pine Creek, spread out over about 120 acres and with a projected population of somewhere around 3,000 at buildout, is south of Belmont; and Sirocco, slightly larger at 176 acres and with about 4,000 residents when complete, is west of Pine Creek and borders the Sirocco Golf Club.
By the way, both can be accessed by turning west off Macleod Trail at 194th Avenue and 210th Avenue, or turning south from Spruce Meadows Way onto Sheriff King Street.
"Sirocco has front drive showhomes now open and Pine Creek will have their first opening in early July," says Anthem United's marketing manager Megan Starke. "The grand opening for show homes in both communities is scheduled for September 14."
And the stable of builders put together by Anthem United for both communities is pretty much a who's who of the Calgary region's residential construction industry.
In Sirocco, Trico Homes, Sterling Homes, Shane Homes, and Morrison Homes are putting up front-drive homes priced from the $500,000 range. NuVista Homes will be providing paired homes.
Down the road in Pine Creek, Trico and Sterling are building front-drive homes from the $400,000 range while paired homes will come from Morrison and Shane and are priced from the $330,000s.
As is noticed from the price levels, Sirocco will have a higher profile than Pine Creek.
But, says Starke, despite the price variance affordability and quality remain at the forefront for builders in both communities. Sirocco, though, will have more amenity lots — some overlooking a pond in the first phase while many in the future phases will back onto the golf course.
"Sirocco at Pine Creek will be an aspirational but attainable community," says Starke. "Homeowners will immediately have a sense of arrival with the additional landscaping and higher architectural standards throughout the community.
"Pine Creek offers homeowners a price-conscious community, something that has been achieved through lot design and home styles."
Given the pricing options, housing types and styles in both Pine Creek and Sirocco, what will the buyer profile look like?
"What it means is we will be attracting a wide range of buyers, from young couples looking to buy their first home together, move-up families looking for extra space, or right-sizers looking for a home that suits their new lifestyle," Starke says.
So, indeed, Anthem United is keeping itself busy in Calgary and expects to launch nearly 800 acres of new communities before this year is out.
"Calgary is a core market for Anthem," says Elva Kim, vice-president of sales and marketing. "[Calgary] is affordable, has a well-educated population, and is a great place to raise a family. We see population and job growth continuing to strengthen and Anthem will be here providing great space to those people requiring it."

The Belgian Red Cross is developing a manual for our partner organisations in sub-Saharan Africa, to train first responders. First responders are members of the community who are trained in advanced first aid, and who can assist people in need when disaster strikes. CEBaP has developed over 80 evidence summaries in the past months to support this manual with scientific evidence.
Last week, a 2-day expert meeting with 9 African experts was held in Johannesburg, to discuss the draft manual and identified evidence. Thereby we made sure that our manual is developed according to the principles of Evidence-Based Practice. This means taking into account scientific evidence, the knowledge of experts in the field and the values and preferences of the target audience, the African first responders.
Our manual is now being revised, will go through a second round of feedback by our experts in May, and will be pilot tested in Malawi in the fall of 2019.

Building a Goat Rider prototype tutorial with Arcade Physics.
From Emanuele Feronato: "In Goat Rider you simply have to ride a goat with a weird set of characters including an elephant (yes, there should be "something" in the water BeaverTap guys drink).
Start with a tap/click, then tap and hold when the goat is red walking to the right, release when it's white, walking to the left. If you fall down, then reload the page to restart."

Back in the glory days of the late 1990s and early 2000s, P.F. Chang's was a fresh concept with fresh food. Under it's most recent private equity owners it wasn't fresh by any stretch. Success is no further than paying a bit more for better ingredients and staff.
1 year ago
There was a time when P.F. Chang's — both the brand and the food — just seemed wonderfully fresh. Anyone who has visited lately know that is no longer the case. And changing from one P.E. firm to another is not really the traditional way to reinvigorate a tired brand.

Family funds are more patient than private equity, which can make them an exceptional partner for any chain bent on stable growth.
2 years ago
Under owner Centerbridge, P.F. Chang's has plummeted from a pretty solid casual concept with quality food to, well, the opposite. In a just world the PE firm will be punished financially for its poor choices.
2 years ago
Both brands in this headlines suffer from lack of consumer interest, market differentiation, or food items that anyone remembers. But sure, selling one off will solve all their problems.

The per-share offer is more that BWW is trading at now, but significantly below last year's number. This is not the best news for the company's long-term health.

Let the Midnight Special shine her light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine her ever-loving light on me
Jeff Nichols is just so good. Midnight Special is his fourth film (his fifth, Loving, will be out during awards season) and it is a tense, taught, always exciting sci-fi movie that is full of surprises and twists. I don't want to say too much about this, because I don't want to spoil anything, but I can say that Midnight Special is about a dad trying to help his son, who has special powers possibly related to Cyclops from the X-men. He wears goggles and can only travel at night because the sun does very weird things to him. But dad (Nichols muse Michael Shannon) and another man (we don't really know much about who this guy is at the beginning, but he's played by Joel Edgerton who gives a superb performance) are trying to get the boy somewhere or are running away from something.
Do not spoil this movie by watching trailers. Just watch it without knowing anything.
|Jaeden Liberher in Midnight Special
|From Take Shelter
Nichols' worlds are not places that we can understand completely. Or, rather, what Nichols' films give us are our own world with the wonderful returned to it. If we are asking what in the hell is going on here? How can this happen? the film is reminding us that if our science knows a great deal, if we think we can understand the human brain (as in Take Shelter), there are still many many mysteries out there; there are still inexplicable wonders to be explored. And not just that: we are looking for mystery. The characters in Midnight Special want, like Fox Mulder, to believe in something else. And Midnight Special (and I think Nichols in general) is interested in reminding us that there are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
|Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen in Starman (1984)
Ooooo. And pay very close attention to the ending.

Michael Pearce is a Jersey-born filmmaker who made his name directing several shorts including Rite (2010) and Keeping up with the Joneses (2013), which was nominated for a Bafta for Best British Short Film. He makes his feature debut with Beast, a Jersey-set coming-of-age tale starring Jessie Buckley as Moll, a young girl who becomes embroiled with Pascal (Johnny Flynn), an outsider who may harbour a dark secret.
ASFF: What was the seed for Beast?
MP: It was loosely inspired by a true case. There was a guy called "the beast of Jersey", who perpetuated a lot of really horrific crimes in the 1960s. He got away with it for ten years and it made a big impression on the island. Even when I was growing up in the Eighties, he was still a spectre that haunted the island … it was like the loss of innocence moment you have when you realise monsters do exist.
ASFF: How challenging was it to inject a fresh spin on these tired "serial killer" movie tropes?
MP: I thought if we focused on a woman who is usually on the periphery of these stories, and we don't show any murders or the drama of the police chase or any procedure [that could work]. What we have is an interesting moral conundrum. She falls in love with a guy and she defends him and he might not be what he seems. Her passion and her morality is colliding together.
ASFF: It's also a twisted coming-of-age love story, right?
MP: It's really an excavation into Moll's character. There are multiple interpretations of what's happening. Is she a woman that's blinded by love? Is she a woman that is courageously standing by an innocent man? Does she think she knows he's committed these crimes and she's defending him to take revenge on this community? Is she the beast? These are all legitimate interpretations.
ASFF: How long did it take to find Jessie Buckley and Johnny Flynn to play Moll and Pascal?
MP: It was a long casting process and we saw many actresses for the role of Moll. There was something very specific about Jessie. She's very grounded, authentic and unfussy. I felt she was a person Moll would be if she'd grown up in different circumstances. I saw Johnny in Hangman, the Martin McDonagh play. He's a shape-shifter in that: charming, funny dangerous. And this is Pascal. Sometimes he's like a lion stalking his prey; sometimes he's a wounded animal and he seems quite vulnerable.
ASFF: How much did you shoot in Jersey?
MP: One week in five. The rest was shot on the border between London and Surrey. It's really expensive to shoot in Jersey. There are no tax breaks so you effectively lose money shooting on the island. It was quite heartbreaking for me because I'd written every scene with a location in mind. And then it seemed like we wouldn't be able to shoot any of it there. I had to be really adamant that we shot the main exterior locations on the island.

Apparently, August is Read-a-Romance month. You know what they say – what you read, you tend to write. (I don't know if the ambiguous "they" actually say anything of the sort or not, but this is my blog, and I'll attribute whatever cliched sayings to them I wish, dammit!)
I've already done a post on romances to indulge in (when lamenting over my own lack of Valentine's Day plans), so if you're looking for some inspiration, that's a good place to start.
Write a romance. A cute one. The one you wish you had. The one you really have. An erotic one. An impotent one. Post it & link to it here!
I'm excited! I think some very interesting pieces can result from this prompt.

SugarSync released a update for the desktop client recently with some nice new improvements. It has been just over a month since version 2 of their desktop app was released so this is a fairly quick update to the application.
The latest version has some usability and performance improvements that should make the client easier to use. For Windows users they now have the ability to assign the drive letter that they would like the SugarSync drive to be. This could be important since some Windows users might already have another resource assigned to drive S which was the the default.
Other improvements include the ability to show folders from a specific computer in the app and better drag and drop. If you use SugarSync you will probably want to update your client. If you would like more information check out the post SugarSync blog for more details.

As I hear about more and more recent announcements, I really am surprised to find that I can separate my feelings for the other family for my feelings for myself. I really can be genuinely thrilled for people who are pregnant, (unless I know they see it as a burden) or have children (same thing).
It obviously just does not make me feel any better about my own situation. In fact, it makes me feel like half a human not capable of doing what seems to come so easily to so many.
But I really am thrilled for those who have told me about recent announcements.
One thing though. If you are going to give me news- I prefer to hear from you directly, but by email. That way I do not need to be happy on the spot and can take 2 minutes to get my head in order before needing to reply. I really am happy for them- sometimes it just takes me a minute to remind myself of that fact. Especially if it is their first or a long sought after pregnancy.
As always, please keep davening for Rachel Marmel bat Mindle Hinda Chaya for a healthy, full term pregnancy in the VERY near future that ends with a healthy full term baby that gets to come home from the hospital the same time I do.

Children have likely always bullied each other, but when a new medium was introduced in the late 1990s and early 2000s, it became clear that the Internet had become an entirely new playground where kids can get away with cyberbullying each other without supervision.
Out of that evolved a new form of harassment that both parents and teachers have had a hard time dealing with: cyberbullying. This technological evolution has created a many-headed monster that both victims and lawmakers have had difficulty slaying.
Some estimate that as much as a third of all online teens ages 12 to 17 have been cyberbullied. That's an unfortunate statistic considering that many parents, teachers, and administrators sometimes have trouble keeping up with what's happening online, even today.
What Is Cyberbullying?
From "flaming" on social media to constant phone messaging to identity theft to editing and posting pictures, cyber bullying comes in many forms. Basically, cyberbullying can be defined as this: traditional bullying tactics using a new medium (the Internet and new technologies) to victimize a certain person or group.
Many different types and forms of this online behavior have evolved in recent years. The aforementioned flaming, otherwise known as "trolling," is a behavior that's meant to prompt a bad reaction.
This happens all over the Internet, but for a child, this might manifest as hostile messages on social media, rude comments, or texts. On the other hand, what's been called "happy-slapping" is when a victim is physically attacked in a real-life setting, and then a video of the attack is posted online for the public to view.
Some people have been known to use a program to alter an original picture to embarrass or incriminate a victim, which is called photoshopping after the popular program Adobe Photoshop. Also, there's classic rumor-spreading, threatening, and harassing behaviors that just happen to happen online or through messaging services.
Constant messaging has become a recent issue, in which the victim is harassed via messages sent too frequently, sometimes even every five minutes. This tends to happen between couples and close friends but is often a sign of a toxic relationship.
Why do so many teens and children engage in these types of behaviors? There seems to be a very thin line for adults between their online selves and their in-person selves, but for young people, that line seems to have become a thick brick wall.
With the Internet, there's often the feeling of anonymity that comes along with the space on forums and in comments. When there's not anonymity, there are parts of the Web that are not 100 percent policed by parents and teachers all of the time, such as social media.
The online space is one that exists 24 hours a day, making people constantly vulnerable, in a sense. Also, it's gratifying for the harasser because messages can be sent instantly to a wide audience.
There are many behaviors that are bad that happen online that seem to be "allowed" even though they're not, like pirating or defamation, but it should be made clear to students by their parents and teachers that the rules still apply online.
The problem is that damaging or even defamatory remarks online tend to spread, so immediate action should be taken. Many victims, who are more often than not girls, tend to just delete messages from their social media accounts and not tell their parents or anyone.
However, the emotional damage has often been done by this point, and they'll still need support, even if the bully or bullies involved don't lash out at being quieted. Parents need to keep an eye out for warning signs that their child is being bullied without telling them.
Be concerned if they avoid computers, withdraw from social events, avoid conversations about their computer use, or have obvious signs of poor self-esteem. Explain to your child or student that you're here to help if they're ever being harassed.

In Chalker v Murrays Australia Pty Ltd [2017] NSWCATAD 112 (10 April 2017), the New South Wales Civil and Administrative Tribunal ("NCAT") has ordered Murrays Australia to pay $10,000 for not hiring a man with a mental illness.
NCAT found that Murrays discriminated against a Mr Chalker because of his mental illness and that he was fit for the "inherent requirements" of the job he was applying for.
In NSW, under s.49D of the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977 (NSW) ("AD Act"), it is unlawful to discriminate against a person on the grounds of a disability. Similar legislation applies in all other states and territories in Australia.
Section 49D deals with discrimination on the grounds of disability in the following circumstances:
- In the arrangements made for the purpose of determining who should be offered employment;
- Determining who should be offered employment;
- In the terms on which employment is offered;
- Denying or limiting an employee's access to opportunities for promotion, transfer or training, or to any other benefits associated with employment;
- Dismissing an employee; or
- Subjecting an employee to any other detriment.
As can be seen, anti-discrimination protections are provided to both current and prospective employees.
There are two main defences available to a claim for discrimination under s.49D of the AD Act. They are, once all other relevant factors such as the person's training and experience are considered:
- the person would be unable to carry out the "inherent requirements" of the job; or
- in order to carry out their job, additional services or facilities would be required that impose an "unjustifiable hardship" on the employer.
The Facts
Mr Chalker was an experienced bus driver who was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, a recognised mental illness, in January 2014. At the time of the discrimination he was seeing a psychiatrist and was taking prescribed medication for his condition.
In September 2015, Mr Chalker applied for a position at Murrays Australia, as a coach driver. He had several years' experience driving buses, including as a sub-contractor of Murrays Australia.
On the application form, Mr Chalker was asked if he suffered from any medical condition, disability or injury that may have an effect on his performance of the duties in the job. He responded "no".
After the interview Mr Chalker successfully completed a driving test and was given assurances that as soon as he obtained a current NSW public vehicle certificate and completed a medical assessment, he would have the job.
During the medical assessment, Mr Chalker was asked by the nurse to explain why his urine test found the presence of drugs. At this point Mr Chalker disclosed he was taking prescription medicine for a mental condition. He eventually detailed his condition to the doctor who conducted his assessment after the nurse finished. Mr Chalker had brought packages identifying all the medication he was taking and explained that he did not inform the nurse originally as he did not believe it was relevant to his ability to drive a bus. He also made complaints about several questions for being too broad and not relevant to a pre-employment assessment and refused to consent to giving "a blank cheque" to inquire into his entire medical history.
As a result, the doctor deemed Mr Chalker as "temporarily unfit" pending further psychological assessment given his "difficult" and "argumentative" attitude.
As a result of the assessment, Mr Chalker was denied the position that he was otherwise fully qualified for.
The Decision
NCAT found that Mr Chalker's actions were reasonable in the circumstances. Deputy President Hennessy and General Member Lowe held that Mr Chalker did not need to disclose his mental illness as it did not impact his ability to work. Furthermore, they also found that his actions during the medical assessment were reasonable despite appearing argumentative.
NCAT also found that deciding Mr Chalker was unfit for the inherent requirements of the job due to being "temporarily unfit" pending further testing was unjustified. Given the circumstances, Mr Chalker was fully qualified and able to be employed as a bus driver.
Mr Chalker sought to be compensated for lost wages from the date he applied for the position until he was turned down but this was rejected by the Tribunal as he was not entitled to wages during this time. The Tribunal instead granted him $10,000 compensation for "pain and suffering" (which is tax free) as a result of the indignation and hurt that he experienced in being rejected.
Message to Employers
Anti-discrimination legislation is drafted in extremely broad terms so that it is available to protect people from a variety of different forms of discrimination.
Categories include disability, age, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation and marital status. It is important for employers to be aware that these protections apply to both current and prospective employees.
When considering an applicant for a position, ensure that your decision is based on the actual requirements of the job to avoid accusations of discrimination. If you are unsure whether a decision puts you at risk of an anti-discrimination claim, we recommend that you seek independent legal advice.

Restructuring of the hospital's chargemaster in this era of transparent pricing often results in material increases and decreases in line item charges to align with market norms, unit costs, or a hybrid thereof. Learn how your organization can enhance its financial performance in this environment in our whitepaper.
Historically healthcare organizations establish chargemaster prices for new services at some multiple of the Medicare fee schedule or ambulatory payment classification (APC) amount. This practice, combined with the realignment of charges to become more rational, has caused hospitals to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars in payments—often unknowingly. Thus it is important to identify or estimate the financial opportunity or risk that the current and new chargemaster prices trigger under lesser-of-charge (or fixed-fee) and stop-loss clauses in payer contracts.

text: Billericay man stabbed seven times in 4am attack Article by Tom Dare: Police are appealing for witnesses after a man was stabbed seven times in Billericay in the early hours of Monday morning (December 5). A man in his 20s was making his way along Allysum Walk at around 4am this morning (December 5) when someone approached him from behind. The attacker then grabbed the man's shirt collar and pulled him backwards, assaulting him, before fleeing after the victim fought back. The victim was left with seven injuries and police officers believe these were inflicted with a knife. Of these, five were to his face, a deep laceration was made to his shoulder which required stitches, and the man also suffered a laceration to his chest. Anyone who has any information or saw someone acting suspiciously in the Allysum Walk and Rosebury Avenue areas are asked to contact Dc Nicholas May at Basildon Police Station on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

If Donald Trump were a car, he would be a Porsche. If he were an animal, he'd be a lion. And people like Porsches and lions.
Or, at least, "Walmart moms" do, according to a focus group of Republican primary-voting Walmart moms conducted this past week in Pittsburgh by Democratic pollster Margie Omero and Republican pollster Neil Newhouse. (Walmart moms are defined as women who have children younger than 18 at home and have gone to the store at least once in the past month. The focus groups — the two pollsters did another one with swing moms in suburban Philadelphia — were funded by Walmart.)
"Characterizing Donald Trump as a type of car or animal resulted in some fascinating descriptions — from the GOP group, women depicted him as a Porsche, a Ferrari, a muscle car, a boxer who stands his ground, a bulldog, an Escalade, a lion (fierce and king of the jungle) and as an unpredictable cat," Newhouse and Omero wrote in a memo summarizing the results. "These Moms praised him as someone who speaks his mind, stands his ground, and is refreshingly politically incorrect."
[The most baffling moments from Donald Trump's Washington Post ed board interview]
The focus group, which was split evenly between Trump supporters and those backing another Republican candidate, provides a fascinating window into not only how Pennsylvanians view Trump on the eve of the state's primary, on Tuesday, but also into how the real estate mogul is viewed more broadly.
The findings should be comforting for Trump and deeply concerning not only for Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, his rivals for the Republican nomination, but also for the "Never Trump" movement within the GOP establishment.
"These GOP Walmart moms seem to want no part of the #NeverTrump movement," Newhouse told me Sunday. "In fact, they respect his strength and his straight talk and believe he is the party's best shot to beat Hillary."
[Trump is playing 'a part,' campaign chief tells GOP leaders]
Let's break it down.
Most importantly, the GOP primary race as seen through the lens of these Walmart moms is, effectively, Trump vs. everyone else. Neither Cruz nor Kasich make much of an impression with these women — even this late in the primary process.
"Voters were generally unable to tell us much about either Cruz or Kasich, Republican primary voters seemed to dislike Cruz perhaps more than the swing Moms; he was generally described in both groups as 'religious,' 'gorilla — almost human,' or 'like a neighbor's dog — you don't know if they're going to bite,' " Omero and Newhouse wrote. "Kasich's image was even thinner, 'I think they like him in Ohio,' said one, 'too sane,' or 'Mild, like a kitten,' said others."
Then there's the fact that for all the attention paid to Trump's comments about women during his long life in the public eye, the vast majority of these GOP Walmart moms seems strikingly unbothered by his views on women.
"When these GOP Moms were pushed about Trump's gender issues, there was some acknowledgment that he may be a 'sexist,' but general agreement among these women was that 'I don't really care, I've seen worse,' " Newhouse and Omero wrote.
That's an absolutely stunning finding — at least to me.
[The new Donald Trump should scare the hell out of the GOP establishment]
When it comes to the broader delegate fight, the women in the focus group think Trump is also in very good shape and think it would be deeply unfair for the person who enters the convention with the most votes and delegates not to be chosen as the Republican nominee.
"I'd feel terribly misled," one woman said when asked about the prospect. "Cheated," another said. (Not surprisingly, this group was equally dismissive about the prospect of House Speaker Paul D. Ryan or some other "white knight" candidate riding to the rescue at the convention; "If convention turned to someone like Paul Ryan — shows that GOP leaders don't really care about them," Newhouse tweeted while conducting the focus group.)
Finally, there's a very strong sense that Trump represents the GOP's best chance of beating Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton in the fall — despite lots and lots of polling that suggests he would be a decidedly weak nominee against the former secretary of state.
The Walmart moms said they would feel "relieved," "concerned," "good" and "optimistic" with Trump as the nominee — a remarkable set of emotions toward the business mogul. "There was no hesitation among the GOP women that Trump could beat Clinton and that they would support the GOP nominee — even if he hadn't been their first choice," Newhouse and Omero wrote.
With Trump coming off a huge win in New York last Tuesday and almost certainly headed to a five-state sweep this Tuesday, these findings suggest that among the GOP rank and file, he is considered far more likely to be the Republican nominee than is commonly understood in Washington — a frightening prospect for party leaders, who believe that nominating Trump could be a massive electoral disaster for their side.
"Pittsburgh's not that far from Washington, D.C., but these GOP Walmart moms are a world apart from D.C. in their views on this race," Newhouse said. "We've long passed Valentine's Day, but among these women, it's coming up all roses for Donald Trump."

Pillows are more than just an accessory on our bed It plays an important role in providing us with better sleep. Having a good night's sleep is one of the most essential things we need in order to feel recharged and well-rested. This is the reason why most people take the time to look for the best pillows in the market and one of the most popular amongst this is the memory foam pillow. Due to the many benefits it provides, it is often the first choice for people who are looking for comfort and support.
The Benefits
Memory foam pillows have many features that can provide health benefits to its user. You could often never go wrong when choosing a memory foam as it can support any types of sleeping positions. Here are some of the benefit it provides:
- Provides Spine Alignment
When we sleep, we lose control of our body and move on different direction without knowing that it affects our spine, therefore, causing pain such as back, shoulder and neck pain. A memory foam pillows help provide spine alignment as you sleep. It works by conforming to the weight and warmth of the head allowing the pillow to have greater resistance on the heaviest part of the head. This provides equal support especially to the lightest area such as the neck. This allows the muscle to relax properly and have a natural spinal alignment.
- Alleviates pressure points
Due to its conforming ability, it helps support the head and neck area by forming to the shape of your head and neck. As the foam conforms the neck, it cradles it to prevent it from turning to uncomfortable positions. This also provides an even pressure on all parts of the head and neck area, therefore, alleviating all the pressure points. This results in a sound and comfortable sleep.

Minnesota man who founded Feed My Starving Children passes away
COON RAPIDS, Minn. (KMSP) - Richard Proudfit, the Minnesota man who founded the nonprofit Feed My Starving Children, died Tuesday at the age of 88.
Proudfit founded Feed My Starving Children in 1987 after returning from a mission trip to Honduras, where he witnessed widespread starvation. He worked with nutritionists from General Mills, Cargill and other companies to develop a food formula that provides all the nutritional requirements for malnourished children.
Based in Coon Rapids, Feed My Starving Children sends volunteer-packed meals to orphanages, schools, clinics and feeding programs in 70 counties worldwide. Last year, volunteers packed more than 333 million meals to feed more than 912,000 kids daily for a year.

We will now have the singing of O Canada, led by the hon. member for South Okanagan—West Kootenay.
[Members sang the national anthem]
House of Commons Hansard #321 of the 42nd Parliament, 1st Session. (The original version is on Parliament's site.) The word of the day was accessibility.
2 p.m.
The Speaker Liberal Geoff Regan
We will now have the singing of O Canada, led by the hon. member for South Okanagan—West Kootenay.
[Members sang the national anthem]
Whalley Little LeagueStatements By Members
2 p.m.
Randeep Sarai Liberal Surrey Centre, BC
Mr. Speaker, this summer, residents of Surrey Centre sang Take Me Out to the Ball Game as we celebrated the accomplishments of Whalley Little League.
Thanks to the thrilling victory in the Canadian Little League Championship, the all-star team from Whalley earned the right to represent Canada at the Little League Baseball World Series in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
There, they made Surrey proud, playing hard and showing immense strength and enthusiasm on the field, despite the fact that the team faced adversity prior to the tournament. For a time, it was unclear whether one of their teammates, Dio Gama, could join them. However, with the help of the Minister of Immigration and Minister of Public Safety, he was able to go.
It was my honour to host them in my constituency office this summer. This wonderful celebration included a surprise message from our Prime Minister, which delighted the players and helped turn it into an unforgettable day for the team. A special thanks goes out to the team's parents and coaching staff, led by Mike Marino, for following and supporting their team on the road for 46 days.
PIE EducationStatements By Members
2 p.m.
Alex Nuttall Conservative Barrie—Springwater—Oro-Medonte, ON
Mr. Speaker, for six years PIE restaurant has supported children in government-subsidized or low-income households by providing them with the materials needed for educational success.
Since creating PIE Education, we have supplied over 10,000 backpacks to children in need in the Barrie area. Some of our community partner organizations include the Barrie Municipal Non-Profit Housing Corporation, Simcoe County Housing Corporation, Canadian Mental Health Association, Barrie Native Friendship Centre, Women & Children's Shelter of Barrie and local church groups.
Having grown up in government housing, I understand how not having school supplies can create anxiety in students. It leads to decreased confidence and performance. Parents should never have to choose between buying their kids new shoes or school supplies.
On behalf of PIE Education, I would like to thank all of our donors, sponsors, volunteers and community partners. It is because of your generous support that over 2,200 children are prepared for success this school year.
Executive Director of Delta Family Resource CentreStatements By Members
2 p.m.
Judy Sgro Liberal Humber River—Black Creek, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to recognize the executive director of the Delta Family Resource Centre, Kemi Jacobs.
Ms. Jacobs has over 20 years of community involvement and has been a leader in the non-government and public sectors in many roles. Some of those roles include the president of the Canadian Council for Refugees, executive director of CultureLink settlement services, chairperson of the National Anti-Racism Council of Canada, director of house at Toronto Community Housing, and the list goes on.
She is truly a remarkable individual. That is why it comes as no surprise that Ms. Jacobs will be included in Jean Augustine's book entitled 100 Accomplished Black Canadian Women.
This is quite an honour for Kemi to be recognized. I would like to share in that recognition by congratulating her today on her continuous hard work and volunteerism, inside and outside of my riding Humber River—Black Creek.
National Suicide Prevention Action PlanStatements By Members
2 p.m.
Charlie Angus NDP Timmins—James Bay, ON
Mr. Speaker, her name was Azraya Kokopenace.
She was only 14 years old, and she was loved. This nation failed her, because when she needed help, nothing was available. She died alone.
Azraya is just one of the 5,800 youth we have lost in this nation to suicide.
What country watches the death of its children and does nothing? Canada is one of the only developed countries without a national suicide prevention plan.
This is why I am asking my colleagues from all parties to work together to establish Motion 174 for a national suicide prevention action plan. It is not just about youth. We are seeing the crisis of suicide and depression cut across all age groups and spectrums. There is so much that can be done.
I want to special shout-out to the amazing grassroots organizations and activists on the front lines. They are looking to this Parliament to be a positive partner, and to pass Motion 174 and establish a national suicide prevention action plan.
Petanque World ChampionshipStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Richard Hébert Liberal Lac-Saint-Jean, QC
Mr. Speaker, from September 13 to 16, Desbiens, a community in my riding, welcomed the world to the 48th edition of the petanque world championship.
Lac-Saint-Jean played host to participants from over 35 countries for this major competition. The players were also lucky enough to sample the world's largest tourtière, which will now be listed in the Guinness World Records.
I would like to personally thank the mayor, Nicolas Martel, for his bold vision and for organizing these extreme events, which attracted a lot of attention to our beautiful Lac-Saint-Jean region.
St. Marys CementStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Erin O'Toole Conservative Durham, ON
Mr. Speaker, in 1912, in the small community of St. Marys, St. Marys Cement was born, and 38 years later it made its best decision by opening a plant in Bowmanville, Ontario.
For 50 years, St. Marys in Bowmanville has literally built the greater Toronto area. The iconic CN Tower, Roy Thomson Hall, the Darlington generating station next door were all built with St. Marys cement. It remains one of Durham's largest employers. There are 130 families who are part of the St. Marys story, a story that includes being one of the greenest plants of its kind in North America.
Its motto is "Life is made to last". In the last 50 years, St. Marys has contributed greatly to our community life, from schools to hospitals to the Highway of Heroes LAV Monument, to Valleys 2000, to Durham College.
I want to thank St. Marys for being a great corporate citizen, wish it well on its celebration and wish it a great next 50 years.
100th Anniversary of The War AmpsStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Ken McDonald Liberal Avalon, NL
Mr. Speaker, this summer I had the chance to meet many incredible people throughout my riding. Today, I would like to recognize a young man I met for the first time.
Jay Felix is a 16-year-old constituent of mine from Paradise. I met Jay thanks to the War Amps and its 100th anniversary commemorative envelope campaign. Jay was born with a partial hand, and has been a member of the War Amps child amputee program since he was two years old. He remains active with the organization today, and was asked to present me with its 100th anniversary commemorative envelope and pin.
This highlights the great impact that War Amps has had on this country over its 100 years, and shines a spotlight on the moments and milestones in history that unite us as a nation.
It was such a pleasure to hear Jay's story and to see what a great ambassador he is for War Amps Canada. Congratulations War Amps, and I thank Jay and his mom Cindy for being such great members of our community.
Supervised Injection SitesStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Arif Virani Liberal Parkdale—High Park, ON
Mr. Speaker, we understand harm reduction. That is why, to address the opioid crisis, our government has approved 26 supervised injection sites with the co-operation of provinces across Canada.
This summer, the new government in Ontario withdrew the approval of an overdose prevention site in my riding of Parkdale—High Park, ostensibly because it wants to review the evidence behind harm reduction. However, the evidence is already in.
As the Supreme Court stated in 2011, supervised injection sites save lives. Hospitals and health care workers get it. That is why they have opened a pop-up site in Parkdale in defiance of the Province's position. The compassionate and progressive constituents of my riding get it. They are actively supporting this pop-up site, and so are the police and the City of Toronto. The only missing link is the Province of Ontario.
When lives are at stake, this cannot be a partisan issue. It is incumbent upon all elected representatives, at every level of government, to address the opioid crisis and to stop preventable deaths.
Citizen of EdmontonStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Kelly McCauley Conservative Edmonton West, AB
Mr. Speaker, I rise to honour and wish a happy 100th birthday to a remarkable Edmontonian, Frederick Major Russell.
In December of 1939, Mr Russell shipped out to the U.K., serving with the Royal Canadian Signal Corps, 6th Brigade, 2nd Division. He landed with Canadian troops at Dieppe and managed to survive the day.
It is rumoured that he was part of the secret mission to steal the German Enigma code machine on that fateful day. Freddie denies it, claiming he never made it to the beach. However, conspiracists will note that he was declared missing in action in the confusion, and his dog tags were somehow found far ashore that day.
Freddie returned two years later to the beaches at Normandy, and fought through France to eventually march into Dieppe when Canadians liberated it. He fought through Belgium, Holland and Germany. He was awarded the French Legion of Honour, France's highest honour, for his role in the liberation of France.
He returned to Canada where he married his beloved Eileen, making Edmonton their home for the next 60 years of their marriage.
Freddie, happy 100th birthday. I thank him for his service to Canada.
Organ DonationStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Ramez Ayoub Liberal Thérèse-De Blainville, QC
Mr. Speaker, in a Canadian medical first, a face transplant has been successfully carried out at Montreal's Maisonneuve-Rosemont hospital. A team of medical professionals achieved the incredible feat last May, giving Maurice Desjardins a new face after he was seriously disfigured in a hunting accident. Mr. Desjardins has been given a second lease on life thanks to organ donation.
I want to congratulate Transplant Québec on its leadership and Dr. Daniel Borsuk and his team on their tenacity and expertise, as well as the donor and his family on this incredibly selfless gesture.
This success story is a reminder that we need to keep supporting our researchers, scientists and doctors as well as our organ donation system in order to keep pushing the boundaries of medicine. To do just that, I will be moving Motion No. 189 so that we can make our organ donation program even better.
My question to my colleagues and to all Canadians is this: has everyone signed their donor consent form?
Festival Laval LaughsStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Angelo Iacono Liberal Alfred-Pellan, QC
Mr. Speaker, what better way to bring a community together than with laughter? I am proud to be participating in the first ever Festival Laval Laughs, which is on from September 20 to 30.
This festival is born from the desire to build a stronger community through humour because it all starts with a laugh. By sharing our joy, we strengthen our bonds as neighbours, as friends and as a community.
Thus, I would like to congratulate Luigi Morabito and Franco Taddeo for their initiative which embellishes and strengthens our community.
The Festival Laval Laughs is all about diversity and inclusion. It celebrates the multiculturalism that defines our community and our country. The Festival Laval Laughs embodies the joie de vivre of the people of Laval.
Veterans AffairsStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Cathay Wagantall Conservative Yorkton—Melville, SK
Mr. Speaker, as deputy shadow minister for veterans affairs, September 19 is very significant to me.
In 2016, Claude Lalancette, who served in Somalia in 1993, came to the Hill on a hunger strike looking for answers. After a photo op with the ministers of veterans affairs, health and national defence, with a promise made and then broken, followed by another hunger strike, two days of testimony were his to orchestrate at the veterans affairs committee study on mental health. The testimony sounded the alarm on mefloquine poisoning of our troops up to and including the Afghan war. As a result, Health Canada changed the drug label and mefloquine became a drug of last resort for our troops.
In 2017, the first mefloquine rally took place after the Prime Minister ignored mefloquine advocate veteran Dave Bona in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Today, the second mefloquine rally is celebrating Quinism Foundation's expanding research to scientifically prove mefloquine poisoning impacts on our Canadian service men and women.
Members should come and meet our veterans.
Rougemont, the Apple CapitalStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Pierre Breton Liberal Shefford, QC
Mr. Speaker, fall is when the riding of Shefford comes into its own. It is a time of plenty, with ripe apples practically falling off the trees. During apple-picking season, over half a million visitors come to Shefford to take part in apple harvest activities or just to enjoy the delights of fall in the orchard.
In the heart of Montérégie lies the majestic town of Rougemont. With its 500,000 apple trees, Rougemont is proud to be known as the "apple capital" of Canada. As a pioneer in apple cider production, the Rougemont region is also an agri-tourism destination renowned for its rich soil and knowledgeable farmers.
We invite you to participate in the 16th edition of Les Week-ends Gourmands de Rougemont, an epicurean festival that runs every weekend until October 14. Every MP has been given the perfect calling card, a Rougemont apple from Canada's apple capital.
Take Back the NightStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Tracey Ramsey NDP Essex, ON
Mr. Speaker, for too many women across Canada, gender-based violence is a part of their reality. To this day, the stigma and the threat of retaliation have prevented women from speaking out against their abusers. Too many cases have been shrouded in darkness. Women come together to provide support for one another and raise their united voices against harassment and gender-based violence.
In Windsor-Essex, our "Take Back The Night" event is happening this Friday. Take Back The Night is a grassroots organization focused on uniting women to stand together, refusing to be silent about gender-based violence. Events will be hosted in communities across Canada and in over 30 countries globally. Women across the country will come together to support each other's struggles, be inspired by the strength of survivors and to remember the women we have lost to violence.
I invite women from across Canada and my colleagues in this House to join in their local events. This Friday, I look forward to seeing women raise a candle high and adding their voice as we take back the streets and take back the night for all women.
Prime Minister's Report CardStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Candice Bergen Conservative Portage—Lisgar, MB
Mr. Speaker, here is the report card on the Prime Minister's summer activities: reversing the carbon tax, failed; dealing with illegal border crossers, failed; recalling the House to get TPP ratified, failed again; surfing in Tofino, B plus; mansplaining his way through a groping allegation, I would say A plus on that one; negotiating a trade deal with the U.S., under way with challenges, which is Liberal code for "did not get it done".
Now, let us see if the Prime Minister did any better by the numbers: high-priced lobbyists attending Liberal fundraisers, 200 of them; taxpayer dollars spent on the Trans Mountain pipeline, 4.5 billion; shovels in the ground to build the pipeline, zero.
Seriously, this summer of failure has made one thing very clear: Canadians cannot afford another four years of this Prime Minister.
ScienceStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
David Lametti Liberal LaSalle—Émard—Verdun, QC
Mr. Speaker, young Canadians across the county are pushing the boundaries of innovation. Through their intelligence, enthusiasm and ingenuity, they are promoting Canada's know-how both at home and abroad.
Today we celebrate those brilliant minds and their contributions to our society.
On behalf of my colleague, the Minister of Science and Sport, I would like to invite all my colleagues to attend the Prime Minister's science fair tonight in Centre Block from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
This event showcases the remarkable work of innovative young researchers from across the country. This evening, let us celebrate together these wonderful young people who represent the future of our country.
Natural ResourcesOral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Regina—Qu'Appelle Saskatchewan
Andrew Scheer ConservativeLeader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, when the Prime Minister spent $4.5 billion in taxpayers' money on the Trans Mountain pipeline, he said that he did it in order to guarantee that construction would start this summer. He failed. The project has been officially on hold for nearly three weeks, and Canadians have no idea what the Liberals intend to do about it.
Can the Prime Minister tell the thousands of Canadians who are depending on pipeline construction jobs when they will be able to return to work?
Natural ResourcesOral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Papineau Québec
Justin Trudeau LiberalPrime Minister
Mr. Speaker, from the start, I have been telling Canadians that I believe that the environment and the economy must go hand in hand. That is why, when we took office, we invested in environmental protection. We worked in partnership with indigenous peoples to create economic growth in this country the right way. That is exactly what we will continue to do. The Conservatives want us to minimize environmental protection and ignore first nations. That is not what we are going to do. We are going to do things right.
Natural ResourcesOral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Regina—Qu'Appelle Saskatchewan
Andrew Scheer ConservativeLeader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, more and more Canadians are referring to this past summer as the Prime Minister's summer of failure, and the judge that ruled on the Trans Mountain case agrees. That judge said that Canada failed in phase III to "engage" and "dialogue meaningfully". How can the Prime Minister mismanage this pipeline project so terribly?
Natural ResourcesOral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Papineau Québec
Justin Trudeau LiberalPrime Minister
Mr. Speaker, in 2012, the Conservative government limited the scope of the National Energy Board in terms of its analyzing the impacts on marine ecosystems. That is why we have moved forward in any case with the oceans protection plan, to look carefully at how we can protect the southern resident killer whale pod and how we can make sure that we are protecting our oceans from spills and accidents. That is something that is important to British Columbians and it is important to all Canadians.
That is why we are moving forward in a responsible way that protects the environment and works with indigenous peoples as we look to get the right projects built for Canada.
Natural ResourcesOral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Regina—Qu'Appelle Saskatchewan
Andrew Scheer ConservativeLeader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister keeps saying things that he knows are not true.
The previous Conservative government got four major pipeline projects built. We succeeded where he is failing. One of those, the Kinder Morgan Anchor Loop, opened up Asian markets by getting Canada's resources to tidewater. However, it was his execution of the process that failed. Again, is this just part of a plan to phase out Canada's energy sector?
Natural ResourcesOral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Papineau Québec
Justin Trudeau LiberalPrime Minister
Mr. Speaker, what the Conservatives have not understood, even with the drubbing they got in the 2015 election, is that the only way to build a strong economy is to protect the environment at the same time and work with indigenous peoples in a respectful way. That is what they failed to do.
That is why we are moving forward in the way that Canadians expect, doing stronger science, working in partnership with indigenous peoples and showing the highest growth in the G7 last year, after they had the lowest growth rates since R. B. Bennett.
Natural ResourcesOral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Regina—Qu'Appelle Saskatchewan
Andrew Scheer ConservativeLeader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, the record on this is clear. The Conservative Party got the job done. We succeeded where he is failing. We, through a rigorous approvals process, got four major pipeline projects approved and completed.
It was the Prime Minister whose tough negotiating skills sent $4.5 billion to Houston investors, overpaying by almost $2 billion. That is the kind of negotiating savvy that the Prime Minister has. Just how fast did those Houston investors sign on to that deal?
Natural ResourcesOral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Papineau Québec
Justin Trudeau LiberalPrime Minister
Mr. Speaker, I am simply understanding that at this point members of the Conservative Party of Canada do not want the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion because that is what they would get.
The fact is when we took ownership of that pipeline expansion project, we prevented it from being dead in the water. We know that moving forward in the right way on projects like this is what Canadians expect. The Conservatives' failure to get our resources to new markets other than the United States is exactly why Canadians grew tired of that government, among many other things.

The immediate past Governor of Delta State, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, has advised the Proprietor of Lagos Business School, Prof. Pat Utomi, to first contest as a councillor in his ward, before aspiring to be governor of the state.
Uduaghan, who spoke Friday in Asaba, Delta State capital, at a stakeholders meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), advised those who are aspiring for political offices not to be blinded by their political ambitions as to resort to peddling falsehood against government but rather should concentrate on facts and issues.
He debunked the wide allegations of financial mismanagement against the state government by Prof. Utomi, and urged him not to sacrifice truth on the altars of political expediencies.
According to him, "every man has a right to aspire to any political office in the country, but such person must not tell lies about government to achieve his aspiration. Tell the people what you can do for them, do not spread lies.
The former Governor urged the Lagos-based Economist to consider actualizing his political ambition by contesting for councillorship position so as to get basic facts on issues affecting governance in the State.
He noted that with his experience with Prof. Utomi, he has distinguished himself as someone with great ideas but, does not have the frame of mind for execution.
He disclosed that as then Governor of Delta State, his administration made Prof. Utomi chairman and member of several committees as opportunities for him to contribute to the development of the state but, "if Prof. Utomi attended any of the meetings, he won't spend more than five minutes."
"He bragged about his reach internationally, how he was going to bring international investors and we had to partner with him to organise a business forum outside the country with Nigerians in Diaspora for us to get the investors, but he did not spend five minutes before he left us, no investor came to the state through him.
"You people should ask Prof, 'where is the Silicon Valley?' He took us to his home town, Ibusa, for the foundation laying ceremony of Silicon Valley. Till date, there is nothing to show that the project has commenced.
"He has contested for the Presidency, he now wants to be the Governor. But, I think he should start from his Ward, he should contest for Councillor," Uduaghan taunted Utomi.
He noted that it is not good to condemn what the incumbent Governor is doing because of personal ambition, adding; "Governor Okowa has done excellently well and we should join hands with him to develop the state"
The former Governor who advised members of the PDP to remain united, urged those in elective or appointive positions to empower Deltans through the spread of democratic dividends.
In his speech, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, urged members of the PDP to open their doors to any Nigerian wishing to join the party, including members of the All Progressive Congress (APC), while the Chairman of the party in the State, Barr. Kingsley Esiso, said the meeting was necessary for members to be abreast with happenings in the party.
