What is the arrangement conference?
The arrangement conference is typically setup within the first 24 hours after the death of your loved one. It is an opportunity to meet with the Funeral Director and begin making the funeral arrangements.
Who should make decisions?
Typically one person is legally responsible for making decisions regarding the funeral arrangements. If your loved one has not expressed their wishes in a written document such as a Power of Attorney or a Last Will and Testament, then the chain of command is as follows:
Legal Spouse/Partner
Surviving Adult Child/Children
Surviving Parent
Surviving Adult Sibling
Parent of Minor Child
The legally responsible person will need to be present to make decisions and sign documents
What if I need assistance making arrangements?
While one person will be legally responsible for signing documents and making decisions, often people choose to include children, friends, or family in the planning process. Including others in the process can help you to come to terms with the loss and make the funeral or memorial service more meaningful
What documents will I need?
When a loved one dies there are a number of different pieces of paperwork which will need to be completed. Your Funeral Director will help guide you through the process and will complete and file many of the necessary documents on your behalf
To assist your Funeral Director with preparing the necessary documents, it's helpful to bring the following documents (as applicable) with you to the arrangement conference:
Deceased's Birth Certificate
Deceased's Marriage Certificate
Deceased's Military Discharge papers
Deceased Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care
Last Will and Testament and any Codicils
Revocable Living Trust
Where should services be held?
Services may be held at any number of locations that you find meaningful. Many families choose to hold the funeral service at their church, while others choose to hold it at the Funeral Home Chapel.
Your Funeral Director can help you choose a location which is fitting of the life lived and meaningful to you and your family.
What day and time is best?
The answers to this question depend on the location you have selected and the schedules of those who wish to attend.
Many families choose to hold afternoon visiting hours followed by a memorial service, while others choose to hold visiting hours one day followed by a funeral the next.
Who should officiate the service?
Many families choose to have a minister of their faith officiate the service. Others choose to have a trusted friend or family member who cares deeply about guiding those who are in attendance at the ceremony. Our guidance is to select someone you know well and trust.
How do I let everyone know?
In the past the public was typically notified of services in an obituary published in the local newspaper. However, more and more often we find that people are letting their family and friends know by sharing the online obituary via social media or email.
Whatever way you choose to notify family and friends of the passing of your loved one, we are here to help and assist you.

A lighter weight system that has more efficient flow and shows a noticeable improvement in throttle response whilst enhancing that sports car sound.
The system is designed to work with the engine, so at lower revs the sound remains relatively civilised and at higher revs it provides more presence and volume.
We also offer an alternative for the restrictive and heavy factory catalysts. Either our race catalysts with 300 cpsi cells which remain emission compliant yet reduce weight, improve flow and add a crisper tone to the sound or our decat pipes which maximise the experience with minimal weight, maximum flow and optimum sound.
• Also works with our Sport Exhaust.
• Stainless Steel mandrel bent tubing.
• Improved throttle response.
• Decat pipes add a crisper note and even greater response.
• Race Catalysts offer a crisper tone yet remain emission compliant.
• Ceramic Coating option for added Heat retention.

Cedar Wood Knitwear Comb
Art. no: 900092999
Designer's notes
Pilling in wool, cashmere and yak products are perfectly normal and is caused by friction that creates surface tangles in the wool fibers. We want our products to last a lifetime, so we introduced this comb to help you take care of your knitted pieces. This comb is perfect for reviving your knitwear. To remove pilling, lay the garment flat, hold it taut and gently comb in one direction over the affected area. Don't use the comb on delicate knitwear like merino wool or plain knitted garments.

Kat is known as a financial expert. She began her career in the financial industry at the early age of seventeen, but eventually moved into high tech for about 10 years. Her stint in technology began in network engineering and ended in senior management, controlling operations of a large IT service center with over 125 employees. The dot com crash brought her back to the finance industry.
Upon entry into the mortgage industry, she quickly became a top selling wholesale account representative. Recognizing a lack of service to credit challenged families, Kat responded by heading up a non-profit foundation. Her efforts promoted homeownership nationwide by rehabilitating homes and offering loans to families overlooked by traditional financial institutions.
She has developed an ardent eye for dynamic solutions due to extensive exposure to complicated financial situations over the years, helping many families along the way. She has taken this knowledge and applied it to taxation and can keenly analyze complete financial pictures to recommend the optimal tax solutions that serve her clients best. Her successes working with the IRS to help reduce individual's taxes, has generated testimonials of her cohesive working relationship with the agency.
Combining real estate finances and taxation has allowed her to understand the circumstances, concerns, and tax consequences of a short sale for a homeowner and provided her the ability to apply the various acts and rules to an individual taxpayer's situation, which has meant working closely with real estate agents as a result.
Kat graduated from the California State University system with a Bachelor of Science degree specializing in Finance. She is continuing her education by obtaining an Enrolled Agent designation with the IRS. She is listed on the IRS website as an authorized electronic filing provider and can be located in the IRS Directory of Federal Tax Return Preparers with Credentials and Select Qualifications.
Community involvement is important for Kat, both personally and professionally. She is a member of the Downtown Campbell Business Association, Campbell Community Center, and works with many local businesses. She meets regularly with business owners to stay up-to-date, and speaks regularly to the local real estate community regarding taxation. Recently, she was appointed Treasurer for CSR Cares, a non-profit organization focused on helping children locally.

What type of roofing materials do you recommend?
All roofing projects are not created equally. The type of roofing materials used for any given project depends on the building, the neighborhood, personal taste and other factors such as budget and intended use. We offer a free roofing consultation where we can get a better idea of the job at hand. Once we understand the project, we can then make specific recommendations as far as material types.
Can an old roof be repaired rather than replaced?
Perhaps. Again, each roofing job is unique. It may be possible to repair one old roof while another of the same age may need to be replaced completely. Depending on the extent of the damage, it may even make financial sense to replace the whole roof rather than invest in repairs that will only temporarily solve the roofs problems. Were an honest company that wont replace a roof that is a good candidate for repair. Likewise, well let you know if we think roof repairs are futile.
Do insurance companies typically pay for roof repairs or replacements?
Insurance companies pay for roof repairs and replacements under specific conditions which are spelled out in your insurance policy. If the roof damage was caused by a covered peril, youll want to contact your insurance company and file a claim. You may have a deductible that needs to be met before the insurance company pays. For example, if the roof damage costs $500 to repair and your homeowners insurance has a $1000 deductible, you wont need to file a claim (unless theres other damage to your property).
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We can provide you with written documentation.
My roof looks fine, but a roofer has told me that it needs to be replaced. Am I being scammed?
Some roof damage (such as hail damage) doesnt look too bad at first glance, especially to untrained eyes, so the recommendation may be legitimate. However, if youre unsure about the recommendation of any roofer, a second opinion may be in order. In addition, consider the reputation of the roofer making the recommendation. Is the roofer an established roofer with a good record of service in your community or does the roofer appear to be a fly by night roofer? Was the roofer recommended to you by someone you trust or did the roofer knock on your door offering a free roof inspection?

The establishment of FRIM Research Gallery transforms the image of FRIM Museum as a one-stop centre showcasing the various research outputs of FRIM scientists in the form of posters, magazines, pamphlets, materials, products, samples, specimens, models and research prototypes. The layout and presentation of materials in FRIM Research Gallery follows the current trend. Various forestry-based elements were created as side motifs to reflect FRIM image as an institution involved in forestry research.
FRIM Research Gallery was officiated by the Hon Dato Sri Douglas Uggah Embas, Natural Resources and Environment Minister in March 2010. FRIM Research Gallery serves as a platform not just for the public to get closer, to learn and appreciate research development but also to its scientists who have vision and able to compete globally. FRIM Research Gallery can benefit the current and future generations as an invaluable reference and heritage centre through its historical background and designs of traditional houses. These are made available to the public through FRIM homepage, posters, magazines, pamphlets, etc.

- To display and inform the public of the various promising and successful research outputs in plant biotechnology, information technology, biodiversity, forest ecology and management, product development, etc. The diplays of the most recent research activities are in the form of products, samples, specimens, models, research prototypes, posters and pamphlets. This will be updated/replaced every two or three years.
- To indirectly provide security to FRIM research laboratories by channeling visits away from these sensitive areas to the Research Gallery.
- To publicise R&D efforts in addition to promoting FRIM as a forestry research centre as well as an ecotourism spot.
FRIM Research Gallery has a unique design modeled after modern and contemporary concepts that encompass five main components:

Easter Island is a microcosm of planet earth. When the resources were depleted and war broke out in the 16th century, the population collapsed. While relying on mainland Chile for decades, the Rapa Nui are increasingly learning to be self-sustainable. For the first time in the island's history, they have begun to export products: papayas and beer.
Know your Local Seafood & Where to Eat It:
Kana Kana: A white fish similar to Turbot. Eat kana kana as sashimi at Marau Bar Fusion.
Kahi: Big Eye tuna. Eat in an Empanada at Ahi-ahi, one of the food carts on Policarpo Toro street beside the playing field, with pebre sauce.
Toreno: Yellow tail tuna. The best preparation is the coconut milk ceviche at Haka Honu.
Rape Rape: A local lobster. Try it in a Tahitian vanilla sauce at La Kaleta, a contemporary Pacific Rim restaurant near the fishing boat dock.
Know the Island Brew: In 2010, Easter Island began selling its first beer, Mahina, available as a Pale Ale (4.8%) and a Stout (6.8%). Both are 100% natural and follow a double fermentation process. On a side note, the company ispartially owned by one time underwater diving champion, Mike Rapu. Most restaurants carry the beer, though to mingle with local crowd, head to Topatangi Pub on Avenida Atamu Tekena, where local folkloric groups occasionally perform before a DJ takes over.
Stay Green: There's the new Hanga Roa Eco-Village & Spa, an all-green property modeled after the Orongo ceremonial complex on the Rano Kau crater, which will be returned to the Rapa Nui after a period of years. Also, there's the spaceship like Explora is the first Latin American hotel with an LEED certification. The less expensive Cabañas Morerava on the other hand, has four solar powered cottages designed by a Santiago based architect for maximum natural light and ventilation and to have a as little impact on the environment as possible. Each sleeps up to six and loaner mountain bikes are used to get to town and back.
Hanga Roa, Easter Island's Mataveri International Airport in Hanga Roa is served only by Chile based LAN Airlines, though the island can now be reached by air from Lima, Peru, which will shave off about 6 hours or more of travel time for North American travelers (previously all flights came from either Tahiti or Santiago, Chile).
Writer and photographer Nicholas Gill is the editor/publisher of New World Review. He lives in Lima, Peru and Brooklyn, New York. His work has appeared in publications such as the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, CondeNast Traveler, National Geographic Traveler, Afar, and Penthouse.

By: Joe Carnicella, intellectual property attorney with Picadio Sneath Miller & Norton, P.C. (Joseph Carnicella on G+)
On March 20, 2014, the USPTO rejected an application for the "Johnny Football" trademark on the grounds that the applied-for-mark consists of a name, portrait or signature identifying a particular living individual whose written consent to register the mark is not of record. On November 1, 2012, Kenneth R. Reynolds Family Investments, an investment firm based in College Station, Texas, filed for the trademark "Johnny Football" as Johnny Manziel began his ascent to fame as Texas A&M's quarterback. Johnny Manziel, through his organization JMAN2 Enterprises, filed for the same trademark three months later. The investment firm now has six months to request that the USPTO reconsider its decision or to file an appeal. The application filed by Manziel's organization has been stayed pending the outcome of the investment firm's application.

When looking at Fernando Jorge's work for the first time, one can get the impression that they are marked with effortless sensuality. They are fluid and possess a beautiful palette without going overboard, sensual and modern. The jeweler achieves this by smoothly infusing his Brazilian inspired jewelry with a touch of London. Through this, he has created a lasting impression that make him and his work wanted by retailers and collectors around the world.

Top 6 Best-selling Fernando Jorge Jewelry
A brief story behind the jeweler
As a young boy, Fernando Jorge had his elders support him and his creative side. His grandmother, who was an artist herself, was particularly inspiring for the young Fernando. He collected beautiful things, and had a love for drawing, which is why he initially thought he should study engineering. But something just didn't click between him and engineering, so he shifted into product design.
It turns out that it was the right decision because it was during his internship that he found what he wanted to do: jewelry. For a time, he spent making illustrations for goldsmiths and overseeing the process from the design to production, which he fell in love with, at a large jewelry manufacturer in São Paulo. He decided he wanted to further his knowledge and set off for London to get a master's degree in jewelry design from Central Saint Martins. There, he met his mentor Simon Fraser who made him think out of the box and remove preconceptions about design in his head.
Success came easy to Jorge, but that is not undeserved because of the hard work he had to put into producing gems that would excite jewelry lovers around the world. Right after getting his degree in 2010, he launched his eponymous jewelry line which received critical acclaim. He may have been honed by his London education but for this collection, he looked back to his native Brazil for inspiration. In 2013, he was launched exclusively by Barneys New York. In the following years, he received recognition such as the best piece in colored gemstones during the Couture Show 2014 in Las Vegas, being among Business of Fashion's 500 people shaping global fashion in 2014 and 2015, and being nominated as the Best Emerging Accessories Designer of the Year during the British Fashion Awards in 2015.
Today, Jorge maintains a studio in London which he runs together with his sister. He still splits his time between the UK and Brazil to oversee the production.
The significance of jewelry
Jorge is driven to understand the significance of jewelry to people. Being mesmerized by beautiful pieces and wanting to wear them are impulses that have existed even to the earliest of humans. Even though people hunted to survive, they kept parts of animals to decorate their bodies. The pieces worn have become rarer and more refined by tools in time, but the desire to wear something attractive is a similarity that connects us to our ancestors, although it is a connection that to Jorge can't be explained quite fully.
What he can piece together is that this penchant for captivating things is driven by pure attraction. It serves as a guidance for his jewelry, whether it may be with opal, lapis, or diamonds. The attraction is what made him take inspiration after human bodies as well, specifically of the female form that produce creations appealing to so many women. His view has been shaped by his Brazilian upbringing and interpretation of sensuality, which is to be fully comfortable in relating to one's own body regardless of shape. He treads carefully, trying to strike a balance so that his jewels would still be fresh without being vulgar.
No two pieces are the same
When people buy jewelry, what they are after is not the ability to blend in, but rather to buy something exclusive and therefore project it unto their own images. It's as if to say that they are unique and like no one else. With Fernando Jorge, you'll achieve that as all of his pieces may be considered limited edition because stones are never carved the same way.
Even though Jorge's studio is in London, he goes all the way back to Brazil to source his stones, which is why his jewelry is all marked with "Made in Brazil". He works closely with his craftsmen in a small workshop and supervises them in finding the rough materials right down to the cutting to achieve the end product he has in mind. The resulting jewels are refined yet has clues of trying to be experimental, organic yet elegant.
His collections, although easily identifiable as his through his techniques and finishes, is still eclectic considering his customer base that varies from women picking their first pieces to long-time jewelry collectors. Although many are influenced by his hometown, Jorge injects a London feel that is slightly inhibited and more androgynous. The colors and stone choices are also dictated by a theme, such as fleshy colors for those inspired by the human body, or pops of blue, green and purple when he wants to slightly deviate from the usual style a little. You can expect to get the best of both worlds with pieces crafted by Jorge.
The locally sourced and crafted jewels that sometimes have a British feel in them are stocked by online retailers such as Barneys, Net-a-Porter, and Matches Fashion, among others. One can also chance upon Fernando Jorge's pieces in prestigious stores in London, Berlin, Paris, New York, Los Angeles, Dallas and Beirut.

by Solon of Athens
(c. 580 B.C.)
translated by David Shavin
Reprinted from FIDELIO Magazine, Vol . II, No. 2 Summer 1993. Most figures and graphics are not included online. Click to order this issue or to subscribe.
The founding of the Western tradition of constitutional government can be located with Solon's role in the birth of Greece's classical culture. Solon lived in Athens, approximately from 640 to 560 BC, and was called upon to rule Athens in 594 BC, during a deep financial and social crisis.
Under the Draconian laws preceding Solon, a creditor was allowed to claim the debtor's person in payment on money owed. This debt-slavery, which reduced humans to being but an extension of their own financial agreements, progressively emiserated Athens. Usurious rates of interest exceeded the profit margins of otherwise healthy enterprises, and enslaved otherwise free laborers. In a bold step, Solon ended debt-slavery with his "Seisachtheia," which 'shook off the burden' of the debt. (The event was commemorated by Athenians with an annual public feast.) His constitution attempted to re-formulate relations between the powerful and the powerless, based upon a higher standpoint, as his poem relates.
Solon's poem progresses in stages to its climax. Present evils are due to men's actions, not abstract fate. Human frailties of greed, pride, and immoderation must lose out sooner or later to justice. Evil enslaves humans, and destroys society. It invades each individual's most intimate private life. Mankind can and must order their affairs according to "eunomia," which has the power to destroy evil.
The word itself, "Eunomia," meaning "a healthy ordering of law, or as translated here, "a good constitution," is quite unique in the poem. In a relatively short word, the whole spectrum of vowels are heard. Considering the invariant ordering of vowels, "u, o, a, e, i," "eunomia" can be said to sweep from one side ("e-u") to the other ("o-i"), and come to rest near the middle ("a"). The very sound of the word conveys a sense both of encompassing the universe of vowels, and of bringing order out of wild gyrations.
"Eunomia" stands at the climax of the Greek poem, followed by a cascade of rippling effects, starting with the phrase "Trachea leiainei," or "Rough things (a good constitution) makes smooth." Again, the words perform the action described, the verb "leiainei" smoothing out the rough "Trachea."
This particular phrase, along with the parallel phrase refering to 'the making of crooked judgments straight,' would have struck a chord, for an early Christian reading the Greek text of the New Testament. For example, when Luke describes John's role in preparing the way for Jesus Christ, by refering back to Isaiah's description of the coming of the Lord, he uses the same two pairs of Greek words as used in Solon. Though the relationship, if any, between the earlier texts of Solon and of Isaiah, can only be hinted at here, the power of the passage (as found in Luke's Greek) has echoed throughout Western civilization.
Early Americans heard this passage from Isaiah in their King James Bible: "and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth." Today, many have heard this passage in the masterwork by Handel, the "Messiah" oratorio: "the crooked (shall be) straight, and the rough places plain."
Finally, there is a secondary link between Luke's composition and Solon's that should not be ignored. The recitation of the evils of greed and lust in Athens, heightens the effect of the power of "eunomia" to structure a path for goodness. Similarly, before Luke introduces John, he chooses to specifically reference the evils of the Roman Emperor Tiberius and his underlings, by name. In contrast then, John's coming from out of the wilderness, seemingly powerless, is cast into relief, enhancing the overall effect.
In Solon's time, his fellow citizens would have recognized his allusions both to Homer and to Hesiod, in preparing the necessary transformations in his population's mind. Two hundred years later, Plato would hold up the tradition of Solon as a model. Plato goes further to cite Solon as the source of his breath-taking story of Atlantis, referring to an unfinished work on Solon's part about the ancient history of Greece, conveyed to Solon by the wise men of Egypt. Both Solon's and Plato's cultural connection to the remnants of the scientific faction in Egypt can only be cited here. Regardless, the power of informed, deliberative human action to change history for the better, is a quality of classical culture that owes no small debt to Solon.

Preserve Your Sight From the Threat of Macular Degeneration
Macular Degeneration, also known as Age-Related Macular Degeneration or AMD, is a leading cause of blindness in the world, and is the number one cause of legal blindness in the older population in the United States.
What is Macular Degeneration?
AMD is a degeneration of the cells of the retina in the eye. Since the retina is the 'film in the camera' of the eye, any damage here can be catastrophic. The specific area of the retina which is affected, the macula, is the very center of vision. The cells that normally process waste from retinal cells appear not to function properly, cell waste builds up, causing damage to the other cells.
What are the common symptoms of Macular Degeneration?
Early macular degeneration can only be detected during an eye examination. Later in the disease, there may be blank spots in the vision, or distortion, where straight lines appear to have waves, curves, or broken or missing areas. End-stage disease can result in complete loss of the central vision. The peripheral vision is not affected by macular degeneration.
What are the common causes of Macular Degeneration?
The cause of AMD is unknown. There are family links to the disease, but it is not strictly inherited. In other words, if AMD is in the family, all members of the family are at risk, but not everyone will actually get the disease.
Treatment of Macular Degeneration
There is no know treatment to cure AMD, but in the past few years some forms of treatment to prevent progression have been found. Injection of medications known as anti-VEGF's can help improve vision in patients who have 'wet' macular degeneration. The AREDS study, a huge study done in the United States indicated that use of Vitamins A,C, and E, along with Zinc and Copper slow down AMD. Leutin and Xanthine are being studied as well, but have not been found to have a proven benefit. Shielding the eyes from ultraviolet light using sunglasses and hats have also been shown to decrease macular degeneration.

Target's Holiday Plan: Fewer Sales, More Focus On Everyday Low Prices Image courtesy of Mike Mozart
From "doorbusters" to "advance deals" to hourly specials all through Black Friday weekend (not to mention Cyber Monday), the holiday shopping season is a continuous barrage of retail promotions varying in quality and value. In an attempt to rein things in, Target says it plans to offer fewer sales this holiday and hope that customers will be won over by everyday lower prices.
Fewer Sales
While Target's efforts to bring customers back into stores through remodels and streamlined displays has been successful, the retailer has previously cautioned that customers just aren't spending as much on their trips to the big box store.
One way to increase the cost of a customers' bill is to cut down on promotions. The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that's just what Target is planning to do this fall and winter after sales dropped 1.3% during the 2016 holiday season.
Instead of having multiple — sometimes confusing — sales each week like in previous years, Target chief merchandising officer Mark Tritton tells The Tribune that the retailer will instead focus on just a few promotions, with the hope that they make a bigger impact on shoppers.
"We will have meaningful promotions," Tritton said, noting that these deals will likely be timed to Cyber Monday and Black Friday.
One promotion you won't be seeing, however, is Target's 10 Days of Deals — a sale the company has hosted the past two years leading up to Black Friday.
Business As Usual
With Target turning its focus away from holiday-themed sales, the company plans to double down on its everyday merchandise.
For instance, Target will highlight several of its new private-label brands and new product lines in November, The Tribune reports.
Additionally, in lieu of mega-holiday sales, Target says it will continue to implement its low pricing approach by dropping the cost of thousands of products.
To highlight these items, the company will assemble 1,700 products — mostly under $15 — to be displayed on 10 standalone gift kiosks throughout stores.
Fewer Holiday Signs
For years, Consumerist readers have pointed to retailers continually putting out holiday products well in advance — sometimes months and months — of holidays.
Target says it will cut down on the holiday creep this year after customers expressed their displeasure with Christmas signs and decorations overshadowing Thanksgiving.
The Tribune reports that instead of inundating customers with Christmas and holiday messaging in November, the company will wait until early Dec. to showcase the bulk of its holiday displays.
Upping Online Sales
Although Target has shown time and again that its focus is on physical stores when it comes to attracting customers, that doesn't mean the company is bypassing online traffic completely.
The Tribune reports that Target will increase its ship-from-store program — where customers' online purchases are shipped directly from stores to their homes — to 300 additional locations. The program is intended to get customers' their products more quickly, with most arriving within two days.
It will also offer free online shipping on orders placed Nov. 1 through Christmas.
Additionally, the company will offer a new online gifting option this year. Dubbed GiftNow, customers can purchase a product online for a friend, hit the GiftNow button, and the recipient will receive a customized digital box containing the gift.
Recipients can choose to accept the gift, or exchange it right then and there online. Executives tell The Tribune that the option is the "perfect solution" for picky friends and family members, while giving gifters the peace of mind that their presents will arrive in time.

Hard to find documents all in one place about Charles Koch, his empire, and his agenda
KOCH DOCS is a searchable database of documents and analysis about the billionaire Charles Koch and his empire, agenda, networks, and impact on you.
At launch in August 2019, this new project brings into one searchable site a selection of widely dispersed authoritative materials about Koch.
The site begins by curating more than 100 documents about Koch—including numerous archival documents signed by Charles or David Koch— from different time periods and document sets to illustrate the reach of the project.
Some examples include:
Complete letters written by and to David Koch, some of which have been referenced in books and articles but which have never been reprinted in full;
Key essays and letters by Charles Koch consolidated in one searchable site; and
Illuminating information, all in one place, about Charles Koch's gathering of billionaires, which has operated under the brands Stand Together, Freedom Partners, and the Seminar Network.
This new resource also includes more than 850 searchable tax submissions by non-profit groups either controlled by Charles Koch or funded by his fortune, including Americans for Prosperity, Stand Together, Freedom Partners, Koch foundations, and more.
These materials were gathered by the award-winning team at DeSmog, which is also launching a new database in support of Koch Docs, called the "Koch Network Database." It has more than 100 new or updated profiles published or in the queue about Koch operatives and organizations that help advance his agenda. For other profiles, Koch Docs also relies on SourceWatch.
The initial set of documents unveiled with the launch of Koch Docs were prepared by researchers with the Climate Investigations Center who have expertise in document collection and curation about climate deniers. The research on this site draws on nearly a decade of research into the Kochs by Greenpeace.
As we note in our opening story about the Koch Empire, none of the resources we've cultivated here would be possible without Jane Mayer's breakthrough investigation of the Kochs for The New Yorker in 2010. You can find her book and key investigations since then building on that seminal work of transformative investigative journalism in the Resources section of our site.
We are also indebted to the ongoing efforts to expose the Kochs other journalists noted in our Resources section and by public interest groups, such as UnKoch My Campus, the Center for Media and Democracy, the Republic Report, Documented, the Undercurrent, Public Citizen, Common Cause, People for the American Way, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, the Bridge Project, and so many others (you can also click here for more links to websites with great advocacy on the Kochs).
Please check out our Resources tab to learn more from featured books, films, reports, and major articles about the Koch Empire.
We also recognize the many years insightful analysis by great thinkers like Mayer, as well as Nancy MacLean, Lee Fang, Ken Vogel, Alex Kotch, Bill Moyers, Naomi Klein, Ralph Nader, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, Duncan Campbell, Jim Hightower, John Nichols, plus the work of independent researchers of the Kochs such as Lee Kokorinos, R.J. Eskow, David Cay Johnston, Donald Cohen, Bill Fletcher, Jr., Dave Johnson, Ian Masters, Ernie Lazar, Frank Smith, Beau Hodai, and Chip Berlet among others.
Over the coming weeks and months, Koch Docs will be adding hundreds of new documents and other resources to help people understand the depth and breadth of Koch's agenda to change the laws that govern us all and limit the power of ordinary people in our democracy.

Learning About Security Guard Services
As the name suggests, security guard services are services that you can hire when you want to add security to your household or to a business. These kinds of services are very important because apart from safeguarding your belongings, you will also have peace of mind wherever you go because you will know that everything is taken care of. If you want to find the best of these services make sure that you have continued reading this piece of writing, and you will not be disappointed. There are a few key things that you should look into when you want to find the best security guard services.
One of the things that you need to look into when you are looking for the services is how long the services have been in the market because this will help you choose a good one. The reason why we are saying this is that you will get to understand the experience of the company or the service, and this in turn will help you choose wisely. You should ensure that you have chosen a company that has been in the market for at least five years, because you will be sure that this is the kind of company that cannot disappoint since it has been able to secure its place in the market after all those years.
You also need to make sure that you have looked for a company that has the best reputation because you do not need to be working with a company that has been disappointing its clients in one way or the other. Furthermore, you need a company that is capable of guaranteeing you of top-notch services, and a company that is able to show you their long list of clients that have been satisfied by their services. This is the only thing that will help you choose a company that will give you satisfaction, especially seeing to it that you are hiring a service that will be safeguarding your most treasured items including your family members and your business.
When looking for the best security guard services, the other thing that you need to make sure that you have looked into is the location of those services. It is quite important for you to ensure that you have hired services that are near you, because this way, you will be able to learn a lot about the services before you have chosen them. You can learn a lot about them from family members, friends and neighbors who have hired them, and they can tell you about how they work and whether they are competent enough for you to hire them.
Last but not least, make sure that you hire security services that you can afford. Since there are very many security guard services in the market today, it only makes sense for you to choose a security guard service that is in the range that you can afford.

Over the past two years, I have been dialoguing intensely, sometimes heatedly, with my colleagues in Denver about my perception that Imago does not adequately address some issues that are central to women's growth in relationships. I have also been developing ideas about how to address these issues both within and outside of the context of Imago Relationship Therapy. I, and we, have wanted to find a forum to share these ideas and initiate a dialogue about them in the large Imago community. Therefore, I was delighted with Al's invitation to submit material about "What Imago does not directly address" for the final issue of the Imago Dialogue under his editorship. My basic thoughts are as follows.
What I think of as the core "gift" of Imago theory — the understanding that our difficulties in adult relationships are manifestations of childhood wounding and that these must be addressed and healed in order to have fulfilling adult relationships seems to be gender neutral. However, there are other aspects of Imago theory and processes that fall into the same trap that most psychological theories developed by men have fallen into. That is, it overlooks the fact that, because of biology and cultural programming, women's developmental path is different from men's. Therefore, women, enter adulthood and adult relationships with different strengths and different growth edges.
The Stone Center's work on the sexes' different developmental paths says that little boys are encouraged to give up connection with their primary caretaker (usually female) in order to develop an autonomous sense of self. Little girls, on the other hand, are encouraged to stay in connection with mother and develop their sense of self in connection. The hazard for boys, of course, is that they develop a strong, though often pseudo-sense of self at the price of disconnection. The hazard for girls is that, although they maintain a sense of connection, at times an unhealthy one, their sense of Self is often vague and weak. The ongoing cultural programming of men and women reinforces these developmental tendencies. Thus, men and women tend to enter adult relationships from very different internal places.
These gender differences may be one of the causal reasons that men more frequently adopt the Turtle defensive style and women are more likely to adopt the Hailstorm style. These defensive styles, in turn, often intensify or modify some gender differences. For the sake of clarity and brevity, however, I have chosen not to address these issues here.
It is reasonable to state that an overall goal in relationships is to develop two well-differentiated selves in connection. Because of the above realties, men most often have difficulty with the connection aspect of this equation. Women, on the other hand, tend to have more difficulty with the well-differentiated Self aspect. My experience, and that of many women I work with — both therapists and clients — is that Imago therapy is most focused on and effective in developing and deepening connections, the growth edge for a majority of men. However, women's growth edge — developing and maintaining a clear sense of Self — is not so directly addressed. I believe that Imago theory and processes need to be further developed and/or modified to address these differences.
I am not suggesting that men don't need to work on Self issues or that women don't have any problems developing true, deep connections. I do believe that the sequencing is different. The top layer for men most often is to develop the ability to connect. The top layer for women is more often to solidify the sense of Self.
The large gaps in women's boundaries result in the feeling that demands, needs, feelings, etc. from the outside an enter and take over our space and/or pull our energy out without much choice on our part. (It isn't true that we have no choice, but it FEELS that way.) When you don't experience much sense of control over your personal space and our energy, it's hard to hold onto a clear sense of yourself. Therefore, I believe the growth edge for women is to develop more intact, though still flexible and permeable, boundaries. This involves pulling in and containing one's energy. It means pulling energy back from what I call "mucking around in other people's circles", i.e. trying to fix, change, or take (inappropriate) care of others. This is an unhealthy and unworkable form of connecting. Instead, we need to look inside to find our own reality, our individual truth. Then we need to learn to speak it honestly and courageously whether or not we think this will get the response we want from our partner. And we need to live our lives in a way that expresses our personal truth, not how others need or would like us to be.
There are a number of other areas in Imago in which this problem is manifested. First of all, as Date Bailey pointed out, there are two different formulations of fusion in couples. There is protective fusion, "You and I are one and I am the one." Culturally, as well as developmentally, this is the form of fusion most frequently encountered in men. The other, equally destructive form of fusion, introjective fusion, is "You and I are one and you are the one." Cultural programming, as well as our unique developmental path, makes this form much more common in women.
As Dale also suggested, Imago therapy focuses primarily on projective fusion. While this is very valuable for men's growth in relationships, it does not adequately address women's experience and growth needs. For instance, it is extremely important for someone engaged in projective fusion to "get" that there is another reality out there, listen to it and validate it. This is what the Dialogue is specifically designed to do. However, for someone who is locked into introjective fusion, the growth edge is more to "get" that I have a truth of my own and I need to find it, speak it, and know that it has validity whether or not someone else validates it. The Dialogue does not directly address these issues. In fact, it can encourage women, who have already been programmed to believe they need external validation, to keep looking for it from their partner.
Helpful additions to standard Dialogue instructions to the Receiver would be:
a) to emphasize to the Sender the importance of describing their experience (not their judgments about their partner) honestly and openly, and
b) to support the Sender in holding on to the validity of their reality whether or not the partner is willing to validate it.
The tendency for women to look outside themselves to get their needs met can also be exacerbated by the Behavior Change Request process. The process of restructuring my frustrations with others into an understanding of my own childhood wounding and unmet needs is essential for growth for both men and women. However, to then move directly to asking someone else to do something about it can reinforce the sense of powerlessness and dependency that is such a common experience for women. It can keep us locked in unhealthy connection and away from developing our own self-nurturing abilities. A beneficial addition the BCR process would be as follows: "What I am going to do to give more of this to myself is …. This could be inserted just after the "global desire". The BCR could then be completed with "How you could support my work is…"
Another concern I have about the BCR process is that it can easily be misunderstood by women as one more way to try to "get my partner to change", which I believe is one of the worst habits of women in relationships. Not that our partners don't need to grow. We all do. BUT — women need not to be directing our energy towards getting others to change. Because it is a futile endeavor it reinforces a sense of powerlessness. It feels controlling to our partners (because it IS!). Worst of all, it takes our energy away from nurturing our own growth.
Interestingly, my male colleagues say that they feet the BCR process as it currently exists has the extremely important function of stimulating men to reach out and ask for help. This counterbalances their programming to be "self-sufficient" in an unhealthy, disconnected way. Again, we have DIFFERENT REALITIES and both (all) need to be addressed.
One of the other Imago processes that can reinforce old, unhealthy programming for women is the No Exit Decision. Of course, both partners need to put adequate energy into the relationship. Not doing this, however, is more frequently a shortcoming of the man. Notice how often the "dragee" to the Couples' Workshop is the man! The woman's problem is more likely to be putting too much energy into trying to "make the relationship work". Our normal developmental path makes us very conscious of and concerned about our connections. Our cultural programming encourages us to believe that we can "make the relationship work" all by ourselves if we just put enough energy in. The No Exit Decision process needs to include permission, even encouragement, for women to keep enough energy within their own boundaries to develop and nourish their sense of self.
There are other areas in which I and my colleagues believe that Imago theory needs to be modified in order to more directly address gender issues in relationships but the above points are some of the most salient. We also know that these issues may look somewhat different for women from different cultures and classes, women in same-sex relationships, etc. We hope that this article will stimulate thinking and discussion within the Imago community that will lead toward an ever-increasing recognition and inclusion of many different realities.

Explicit upper and lower estimates for the speed of fronts for reaction-diffusion equation with a convective shear flow are derived. The enhancement of the speed is proportional to the amplitude of the convection and proportional to the square root of the amplitude of the reaction. Several asymptotic regimes will be considered, i.e. large Peclet numbers, rapidly oscillating convection, and small diffusivity.

Edison Vice President Jennifer Lee recently joined Nasdaq Global Markets Reporter Jill Malandrino and Yahoo Finance's Myles Udland and Seana Smith on January 4th to take a look back on 2018 and discuss what's ahead in 2019.
Jennifer shared her views about the wild market swings, the looming uncertainties and implications on 2019, fintech trends, and how the private equity landscape continues to evolve. Here's a condensed summary.
On the private investing environment in 2018:
It's not a secret that we have a lot of capital sloshing around. We've actually surpassed $1.14 billion – think we're almost at $1.2 billion – in committed capital in private markets, with around 1/10th in venture capital and 9/10th in private equity. This is all long-term capital as well. This all boils down to: lots of activities, lots of high valuations, increased competition both in terms of companies and investments, and high pipeline for IPOs and big exits as well. All very exciting.
On how the instability that many are seeing in the markets will affect 2019 and what we can expect in 2019:
Coming off of 2018, it was yet another massive bull year, but I think the uncertainty was always there, including the last few months of volatility. That's obviously continuing as the new year starts. I think everyone is watching very closely and nobody really knows what's going to happen, but in the private markets, I do think the activity is very strong and will continue to be because there's a delayed trickle-down effect between public and private markets and that massive slush of capital isn't going anywhere either. Alternative assets – especially private equity as a class – is still extremely strong in terms of appetite, so we foresee a lot of interesting deals that can happen in the industry and in the exit pipeline. Companies will continue to have the luxury of staying private longer as well. For 2019, I foresee a real shakeout where companies with strong business fundamentals will continue to perform well, and those without, won't.
On fintech investments in 2019 and the trends that we are seeing:
In 2018 we saw a lot of collaboration across the board, whether it be with financial institutions (incumbents) all the way to regulators who are actually embracing more of the fintech trends and technologies, which we think is very encouraging in terms of figuring out how to encourage innovation rather than having a traditional "gotcha" mentality.
We also continued to see a lot of movement in financial inclusion, and more specifically democratization of financial services where certain asset classes that were only available to certain types of investors i.e. institutional are now starting to be available to others including retail. We think it's just the beginning on this democratization and there's a lot of great companies addressing this as well with significant movements, which is all a part of a larger financial inclusion piece and has been a trend for the last couple of years, that's really taking shape servicing the underbanked and so on.
Finally, re-bundling of financial services is still happening and 2019 will really be the formative year to create strong, big players within the fintech landscape who truly cater to the real market needs.
On the IPO market in general and what we should expect in 2019:
One interesting thing to note is that, despite the continued bull market in 2018, the number of IPOs between 2017 and 2018 have been the same. You've got 19 IPOs in 2017 and 19 IPOs in 2018, and yet there was an increase in both the number of unicorns and the number of companies in the IPO pipeline; everybody's projecting somebody to go public. So, when you put it all together I think it's going back to that luxury of being able to stay private longer because of that record amount of private capital that's in the marketplace that wasn't there before. This is new compared to, let's say, 10 years ago, where the private capital levels were drastically different. So all of those things create this interesting dynamic, where my guess is as good as anybody else's guess in terms of who is going to go public next. I know we all talk about Lyft and Uber. We talk about Airbnb, we talk about Slack – a lot of consumer driven businesses. We have some interesting ones on the B2B side too like Dataminr, and I know people are projecting that this might be the year for Palantir. Regardless, I think that because of the volatility, investors will want more of fundamentals-driven, growth-driven companies that are more focused on their unit economics and business metrics; not the high flyers who are solely riding on hype.
On the concern that companies that are staying private longer are perceived to be less disciplined by not being in the public market:
That's an interesting question and I do think that there was a period in time when that discipline was lost by some industry players.
Now, recent volatility has, I think, shifted that, at least coming from the investor side of things. We, for example, our firm – and several other firms out there as well – tend to be more disciplined in looking for those specific companies who have strong fundamentals and invest in those who can eventually become public companies.
When I say there was a period in time when the discipline was lost: yes, there has been a bit of a hype mentality driven by just the sheer amount of available capital and people have to deploy it somewhere – increased competition, high valuations … all of those things come into play. At the end of the day, it's not a one or two factor story; it's more of a landscape narrative with multiple push and pulls.
This all goes back to my previous point, where I think 2019 is indeed the shakeout year in the sense that those high flyers based on hype only without discipline will come down and get to the point where you actually can't sustain that anymore, in the midst of everything else going on. But companies who have been focused on fundamentals, unit economics, cash burn, and so on are really going to thrive, regardless of whether we come out of this volatile environment or not. I think it's that kind of year.

New life for old structures: Scientists are finding a surprising diversity of life on Texas artificial reefs
By Janice Van Dyke Walden
If there's one uptick to the oil business, it's that an old rig can bring new life. Off the coast of Texas, some 195 structures, many of them decommissioned oil and gas platforms, are forming artificial reefs that provide intense colonies of marine life. For sports fishermen, these are the go-to fishing spots. For divers, these are dazzling underworlds of color and diversity. For scientists, these are proof that the complex web of marine life can take place if provided space and structure.
Artificial reefs provide a solution to the barren bottom often found in northwestern Gulf of Mexico. With the exception of a few natural banks, much of the ocean floor offshore Texas has no form for marine life to cling to, the kind of base that allows reef colonies to form. "Muddy and silty," is how Jennifer Wetz describes the underwater terrain. As Fisheries Project Manager for Harte Research Institute (HRI), Wetz has been diving and using Remote Operating Vehicles to study fish life among artificial reefs. What she and her colleagues are finding among Texas' artificial reefs is surprising.
"We didn't expect to see how quickly these artificial reefs attract marine life," says HRI Executive Director Dr. Larry McKinney. Not only do submerged platforms become quickly colonized, they populate with an impressive diversity of fish. In their study completed last year, HRI found 52 fish species from all observed sites, Snapper being the most common. "We also found the marine life habitat to be more complex than expected," says McKinney.
That's encouraging news to Chris Ledford, Artificial Reef Specialist at Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, who has a queue of 25 structures in the process of being converted and permanently reefed. With 81 reef sites in Texas – an increase from 64 in 2014 – those structures will eventually add to 7 more reef sites being planned.
McKinney sees the artificial reefs as taking the pressure off the region's few natural reefs. "The number of fishermen with fast, long-range boats are increasing, as are good, relatively inexpensive electronics, making it easier to find these natural reefs. So what these artificial reefs do is make more opportunities available to the recreational fisherman, and it spreads the pressure away from the natural systems."
An estimated 3,000 non-producing platforms remain in the Gulf, under terms to be permanently removed. If a company is thinking of decommissioning an old platform, converting it to a reef makes sense for the environment, and it could save them money. By converting a 4-pile structure to an artificial reef, a company could realize a savings of up to half a million dollars.

Creamy orzo with veggies is the perfect comforting dairy free and gluten free meal! So tasty in the winter weather!
I have two friends that just had babies (yay!) and I decided to make a gigantic pot of chili to take some meals to them, and of course I made it kind of late at night, so now here I am, waiting for it to cool before I can head to bed. But it's fine, because the boys went to bed early and I am sitting here watching Arrested Development and typing up a post. Hooray for a little quiet time!
I was so happy to find gluten free orzo at the store the other day. GF orzo is one thing that I haven't been able to find here, not even at Whole Foods, so when the store closest to me suddenly had Delallo brand gluten free orzo, I was blown away! So many salad and dinner ideas.
This creamy orzo with veggies is so simple to make, and requires just one pot, mostly because I really did not want a sink full of dishes the day I made it.
If you are not dairy free, just use your favorite shredded cheese. Any type of milk will work in this recipe, so feel free to use your favorite.
Creamy Orzo with Veggies
- 12 ounces gluten free orzo
- 1 small onion chopped
- 1 small zucchini diced
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 cup frozen carrot coins
- 1 cup non-dairy milk
- 1 cup Daiya non-dairy cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- In a large sauce pan, bring about 3 quarts of water to a boil.
- Add the orzo, chopped onions, and olive oil. Boil for 10 minutes, then add the zucchini and carrot coins and boil for another 5 minutes.
- Drain the water out of the pan. Add the Daiya cheese, non-dairy milk, and spices, and cook over medium low heat. Stir constantly for a few minutes until the cheese melts. If the sauce seems too thick, feel free to add a little more non-dairy milk.
- Add the spinach leaves, and stir them into the pasta mixture until they wilt.
- Add more seasoning to taste.
You can make this creamy orzo your own by:
- using your favorite cheese
- adding peas or corn
- topping it with crunchy chickpeas or gluten free breadcrumbs
This was such a nice lunch on a grey rainy day. It kind of reminded me of macaroni and cheese…but an adult version with lots of vegetables, so I felt good about eating it. :)
