Dear Members of the Seattle University Community,
As we approach Thanksgiving, I wanted to update you on what's been happening this fall at Seattle University.
This academic year is the 125th anniversary of Seattle U's founding. We began the year by celebrating this special occasion with the Mass of the Holy Spirit and a kick-off event afterward. It was wonderful to see both Immaculate Conception Church and the Union Green filled with students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends as we celebrated our proud heritage and envisioned how we will carry our Jesuit educational mission forward into the next quarter century. If you haven't had a chance, be sure to check out some highlights from the day. The rector of our Jesuit community, Tom Lucas, S.J., provided another opportunity to reflect on our history when he gave a lively lecture on SU's 125-year history. There will be many more festivities and opportunities throughout the year to celebrate our anniversary, including Homecoming in February and Grand Reunion weekend in May. I hope you'll participate in as many of these as you can.
Our fall term has been quite eventful thus far. In September we welcomed the largest number of undergraduates in our history and a very strong group of graduate students.
In recent weeks we have welcomed many distinguished visitors to our campus, including NBA Hall of Famer and critically acclaimed author Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as well as Lezley McSpadden, the mother of Michael Brown. The Albers Executive Speaker Series hosted Kurt Beecher Dammeier, founder of Sugar Mountain, which includes Beecher Cheese, and Elena Donio, who was recently named CEO of Axiom after serving as president of Concur.
In the lead-up to the 2016 election, Seattle U hosted a gubernatorial debate—the most watched ever—as well as a conversation with the two candidates running for the 7th U.S. Congressional District. We were proud to serve as a venue for dialogue and civic engagement.
While the presidential election was extraordinarily contentious, my hope and prayer is for unity, compassion, respect and healing in our country and world. Here at Seattle U, we recognize an inclusive and welcoming community and support and care for our students are central to living and fulfilling our educational mission.
Last month we officially recognized and celebrated Indigenous Peoples' Day. This was an opportunity to reflect on our Jesuit and university's connection with the Native peoples of this area and envision how we might strengthen this special relationship in the years ahead. The Indigenous Peoples Institute, which was launched this month, will help advance this important work.
In the Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education College 2016 Ranking, we are ranked #1 among private universities in the Northwest, second among all universities in the region, #4 among Jesuit institutions and #117 overall in the U.S. The primary criteria for this ranking focus on outcomes—investing in the student experience and fostering student success—which aligns with our emphasis on preparing students to succeed in their careers and lives while making an impact in their communities.
Speaking of the impact of our students, for the fourth year in a row, Seattle University was named to the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, which recognizes universities across the nation that support exemplary community service programs and partnerships. It's wonderful to see so many of our students getting involved in a variety of service learning and volunteer opportunities as they work with community partners to make a difference in the lives of others.
Our leadership in sustainability continues to be recognized as well. We are #48 in the Sierra Club's Cool Schools 2016 ranking—that's a jump of 100 spots since 2014—and for the seventh year in a row we are highlighted in the Princeton Review's Guide to 361 Green Colleges.
We continue to receive great support from our alumni, friends and partners. Seattle University's Gala on Nov. 5 was a wonderful evening and a great show of support for our students. At this year's event there was a special spotlight on our Jesuit community, reflecting on the purpose and promise they have inspired today and throughout history.
Likewise our supporters at the Costco Scholarship Breakfast in September contributed more than $2 million in scholarships for underrepresented students at Seattle U. Since 2000, 600 of our students have proudly carried the distinction of being named Costco Scholars.
The university is nearly 50 percent through our comprehensive campaign timeline with more than 50 percent of our $300 million goal achieved. Thank you for investing in today's scholars and tomorrow's leaders.
This month, we welcomed Shaney Fink as our new Director of Athletics. Shaney comes to us from the University of San Diego, another Catholic university, where she most recently served as Senior Associate Athletics Director and Senior Woman Administrator. Shaney is a dynamic leader and I am confident that she will build on the tradition and success of our athletic program and take it to an even higher level. Congratulations to women's soccer for claiming its third WAC Championship in four years and to Lila Rice for her first place finish in the WAC Cross Country Championships and being named the WAC Cross Country Athlete of the Year. We look forward to a great basketball season, too.
A major emphasis for us this year is to continue to make Seattle University an inclusive and welcoming community for all. I am grateful to Natasha Martin, our new chief diversity officer, and others for the strides they are making in this regard. This year we are also reflecting more deeply on our Jesuit Catholic character through a Mission Examen. Initiated by the Superior General of the Jesuits, all 28 of the country's Jesuit colleges and universities will undergo this review over the next few years. We welcome this opportunity to discern together what facets of our mission are strong and where we have room to grow. I am grateful to Father Peter Ely who is leading the Mission Examen Committee and look forward to their good and important work on this.
As we recently announced, Seattle U will seek court review of the National Labor Relations Board's (NLRB) assertion of jurisdiction following the 73-63 vote by part-time and non-tenure track faculty to form a union. The issue is not about the university's support for unions. There are seven unions on campus representing 63 staff members. We are also more than willing to engage with our non-tenure track faculty in an alternative, cooperative arrangement once the jurisdictional dispute is resolved. Rather, this is a constitutional and jurisdictional issue. The NLRB is seeking to treat some faith-based universities differently than others. It asserts Seattle U is not "religious enough" because we embrace inclusion and openness over uniform adherence to religious doctrine. The Supreme Court has previously rejected that reasoning as contrary to the First Amendment, and has prohibited the NLRB from asserting jurisdiction over faculty at religious schools because of the potential impact on their faith-based mission.
For certain, we have this and other challenges to confront together as a university community, yet in my view we are an exceedingly blessed institution: blessed by the support and encouragement of our alumni and friends; blessed by the hard work and dedication of our faculty and staff; and blessed by the purpose and passion of our students. And with blessings like these, I have no doubt that in the next 25 years Seattle University's impact on our community, our region and our world will be even greater than we can imagine today. As always and especially in this season of gratitude, I thank you for sharing in our work and helping us advance the Jesuit mission of Seattle University.
Stephen V. Sundborg, S.J.

We feel disconnected from the beauty movement that values excess. We want to slow things down and make sustainable beauty essentials that are designed to last.
Founders Mehdi and Fern worked for several years on some of the largest skincare brands in the world. Over time it became increasingly clear to them that the skincare industry was in the midst of a deep moral and ethical crisis, as animal testing and toxic ingredients increasingly faced resistance and pushback.
There must be a better way.
A new way that looks at sustainable and clean ingredients beyond a fleeting trend du jour.
We started ANIA with a single-minded ambition, becoming the 'cleanest skincare brand in existence'. To reach our ambition, we embarked on years of R&D, studying every skincare ingredient in the world, establishing its efficacy and safety. Our list of restricted ingredients combines research and clinical studies from multiple institutions, making it the strictest 'blacklist' in the world.
This is our promise to you, when we say that our products or ingredients are clean, you can take our word for it. And because science keeps moving, we keep our 'blacklist' up-to-date and upgrade our formulations accordingly.
By the time he was 10, ANIA co-founder Mehdi had already lived in Morocco, Sudan and Egypt — moving with his family every few years as he followed his father's work with the United Nations in Africa. He spent his childhood absorbing and discovering the beauty of Africa's nature and learnt about traditional remedies that have been used for centuries.
Little did he know that these would one day lead him to the creation of ANIA. When he moved to Singapore in 2012 the contrast in environments left a great impact on how he viewed the world and solidified his belief to never lose sight of his African roots.
Co-founder & CEO
Mehdi is originally from Morocco. Besides developing powerful skincare products, Mehdi's interests include cooking spicy food, martial arts, and travelling the world.
Co-founder & General Manager
Fern is in a constant pursuit of creating a healthier world for herself and others. Her interests include martial arts, enjoying the great outdoors, and spending time with furry members of the family.
Co-founder & Creative Director
Shaoyin embodies all things creative. She is curious about good designs and how things are created. Her passion for crafting drives her to create. She enjoys cutting fringes and is on a quest to perfect her sourdough bakes.
Operations Executive
Daryl is at the heart of our operations, making sure that the ANIA wheel runs smoothly. Apart from being an operations ninja, his other passions are being a real ninja – Daryl is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Asian Champion and discovering culinary delicacies around the world.

The man accusing Kevin Spacey of groping him at a Nantucket, Massachusetts bar has voluntarily dismissed his civil lawsuit against the "House of Cards" actor.
The lawsuit was filed last week and sought damages for alleged emotional injuries and mental distress. The civil complaint voluntarily dismissed "all counts thereof, with prejudice and without costs to any party."
Spacey, 59, still faces a criminal charge for the alleged assault.
The allegation came to light in 2017 after former Boston TV anchor Heather Unruh accused the actor of groping her then 18-year-old son at the Club Car restaurant in July of 2016. Spacey is accused of allegedly giving the man alcohol then reaching into his pants without his consent.
"The victim - my son - was a starstruck, straight 18-year-old young man who had no idea that the famous actor was an alleged sexual predator or that he was about to become his next victim," Unruh said when she first accused Spacey of sexual assault.
Unruh's son, who had just finished his shift as a bus boy at the restaurant, told police he pushed Spacey's hands away but to no avail. He claimed he was unsure of what to do next because he did not want to get in trouble for underage drinking.
Spacey denied the allegation and pleaded not guilty in January to a charge of indecent assault and battery. He faces up to 2 1/2 years behind bars if convicted.
The next hearing in Spacey's case is scheduled for July 8. The judge in Spacey's case postponed the hearing from June 21 after the accuser was ordered to hand over his cellphone for possible evidence.
Last month, the accuser's attorney, Mitchelle Garabedian, said they were unable to find the cellphone. They were given until July 8 to produce the missing item or the accuser, Garabedian and Unruh must appear in court.
As a result of the missing cellphone, the father of the alleged victim must testify about the item on July 8.

I really love going out to a restaurant for dinner, but sadly there is just no room in the budget to eat out as much as I would like. But that doesn't mean I have to miss out all together! My husband and I manage to eat out about once a month for little or no money by using some of the following tricks.
1. Mystery Shopping
Mystery shopping is the absolute best for anyone who wants to save money – or even make money! – eating out. Simply sign up with a mystery shopping company, pick an assignment near you, enjoy your meal out, and complete an easy questionnaire on your experience afterwards. You have to pay for the meal at the time like a normal diner, but the company will reimburse you afterwards.
I'm a mystery shopper with a few different companies now. My favourite for eating out is the Mystery Dining Company, which specialises in restaurants and bars. This company usually reimburses the full cost of the meal for two diners, which is quite rare! The questionnaires are pretty detailed and can take up to an hour to fill out. Still, if I can get a free 50 quid meal for an hour's work, I'm happy with that!
Market Force is another company which has a lot of restaurants and pubs on its books. This company typically only reimburses you for the cost of one meal, so if you go with a partner you'll be out of pocket overall. Still, if you would be eating out anyway, it's a great way to get half your bill paid for!
2. Tesco Clubcard Boost Vouchers
The Tesco Boost program is one of the best kept money-saving secrets! I am amazed how many of my friends have been shoring up clubcard points for years but have no idea how to spend them. Did you know that with the Clubcard Boost system, you can get up to four times the value of your Tesco vouchers when you use them with one of Tesco's partners – including a huge number of high street restaurant chains? This means for every £2.50 in Tesco vouchers, you can get £10 vouchers to spend in Pizza Express, Café Rouge, ASK, La Tasca or one of literally dozens of other restaurants.
To get your vouchers, just log in at the Tesco Clubcard site. By the way, you should check the site if you have ever had a Clubcard, even if you don't think you have any vouchers available. You can access any old, unspent vouchers online!
I LOVE getting my Tesco Boost vouchers. We get most of our shopping and petrol at Tesco and we usually go out for a completely free pizza night every few weeks using our vouchers!
3. TopCashback
I've already written about how much I love TopCashback.co.uk for saving money on my online shopping. Did you know you can also get cashback on food and drinks? TopCashback is especially good for food delivery services and takeaways. For example, at the moment you can get up to 6.3% cashback on deliveries from Hungry House, 4.2% at Just Eat, and 3.15% at Domino's Pizza. The deals change all the time, so check the site whenever you are thinking about eating out to see what's new. They often also publish discount codes and vouchers, even if there isn't any cashback available.
4. Restaurant Vouchers
I love finding vouchers and special offers to save money on eating out. You can find voucher codes all over the place – often just by Googling – but my favourite resource that combines the best deals all in one place is Money Saving Expert. Their section on restaurant deals is updated regularly and is full of vouchers than you can print out or download to your phone, plus other tips and tricks, such as which restaurants offer a treat on your birthday, or have free kids' meals.
5. Tastecard
A Tastecard is an annual membership scheme that gets you 50% or 2 for 1 meals at thousands of restaurants around the country. The usual annual membership is £79.99. Seems pricey, but if you do eat out a lot, the savings quickly add up. Also, there are almost always various deals on Tastecards around the web! You can currently get three month's membership for only £1 here, or an annual membership for £29.99 here. I don't recommend shelling out for a card if you don't eat out often enough to make it worth while, but if you often go to their partner restaurants anyway, the savings could be huge.
Do you eat out a lot? What are your best money saving tips?

Canadians want action on climate change. We agree that we need to do more. We know that we must quickly lower our greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). And there is general consent that pricing carbon is the best way to reduce Canada's GHGs. Putting a price on pollution should be a no-brainer.
And so, why are governments that impose a price on carbon under fire? And why will carbon pricing be a hot issue in this year's federal election? The many myths about carbon pricing may be one of the problems as shown in the following video.
Canada's Ecofiscal Commission
Published on Mar 22, 2019
According to the EcoFiscal Commission, "carbon pricing is a practical, meaningful and fair way to reduce the pollution that is destabilizing our climate and threatening our health." But there are a lot of myths about carbon pricing. Here's more on the top 3 myths.
Myth #1: Carbon pricing will cost Canadian families.
Fact: People pay attention to prices every day. Carbon pricing will make it more expensive to pollute. And if you pollute more, you'll pay more. That's fair. But it's only half the story. Governments are using the revenues to make the transition to a cleaner economy affordable. For example, some governments are returning money directly to households.
Myth #2: Carbon pricing hurts jobs.
Fact: Carbon pricing changes what we buy, and this changes the kinds of jobs we need, not the number of jobs we have. Governments are helping with training programs for people to transition into this cleaner economy—like Alberta has done with coal communities.
Myth #3: Big polluters are getting a big break.
Fact: Like households, large emitters pay a carbon price on their emissions. This gives them a strong incentive to innovate and shrink their footprint. They also get support, which is designed to protect jobs and investment. Our economy will get cleaner, not smaller. And putting a price on carbon has many advantages. It should be a key part of Canada's efforts to address climate change.

The Hero / Sidekick dynamic is a very interesting one, with a lot of parallels between that of the hero and The Lancer. Usually, the Hero is older and calmer, while also being a stronger and better combatant than their Hot-Blooded young charge. For these or other reasons, the hero will instruct the sidekick to hang back and observe events, or leave a particularly dangerous fight to him alone.
They never do.
The Reckless Sidekick will rush in headlong regardless of the danger and get captured or otherwise get himself into serious trouble, forcing the hero to choose whether to stop the bad guys or risk rescuing the sidekick. Even if the sidekick manages to mop the floor with the mooks, the hero will gruffly explain he wanted to wait to discover who their buyer/supplier was, and now they'll never find out. On the positive side, if they trail an overly self-reliant or self-sacrificing hero they may well rescue them when they're caught or in danger (though he might not be very grateful). Some shows like to mess with viewers by having them get captured even if they stay put — sometimes you just can't win.
Expect the hero to be justifiably infuriated by this behaviour. The reasons run the gamut of insubordination, recklessly endangering himself and others, and just plain stupidity, though occasionally there are ulterior motives. The sidekick will counter that they aren't a kid (well, a helpless one anyway) and can handle it, or that the hero is overcautious and always has to do things "his way". Expect the sidekick (and hero) to learn An Aesop about how trusting others doesn't just mean blind obedience, but also giving them responsibility and listening to them.
The Reckless Sidekick runs the risk of becoming The Scrappy if his sole contribution to the action is acting stupid and getting himself captured all the time and never learns from his mistakes.
Compare Going for the Big Scoop. Related to Kid-Appeal Character, Damsel Scrappy, and Leeroy Jenkins.
- In Nurse Angel Ririka SOS, Ririka's lifelong friend Seiya does not know the meaning of "in over your head" and has a penchant for attacking large monsters armed with conveniently placed mops and brooms.
- This was part of the reason a part of the Batman fandom wanted Jason Todd, the second Robin, dead as a doornail. The guy would just jump in at the most inopportune times and mess up Batman's plans, and then he'd whine to Batman that he was being soft. Though the degree to which he showed this trope swung wildly over the course of his career as Robin, depending on the title he was appearing in, and also on how far into the run you look — he got a lot worse at this as time went on in a lot of people's eyes.
- The new Robin, Damian Wayne, is also like this. Being the son of Bruce Wayne and the grandson of Ra's Al Ghul, and being brought up by the League of Assassins, he has a little bit of a superiority complex. It's pretty obvious what character arc they have in mind for Damian as he grows up.note
- Intentionally inverted in the Batman storyline A Lonely Place of Dying:
- Batman, who has sworn to no longer take in a sidekick after the death of Jason Todd, has started becoming brash and impulsive without "someone to look after." Standing right outside a building he is about to investigate, Nightwing, the original Robin now all grown up, shows up to assist him. When Nightwing asks for a plan, Batman shrugs him off and jumps right into the building, walking right into a trap.
- Tim Drake chose to become Robin precisely because he believed Batman needed a sidekick to keep him on the right path.
- Batman: The Dark Knight Returns: The new Robin, Carrie Kelley, is this for issue #3 until she nearly gets herself blown up and fired.
- Rocket from Icon, whose tendency to rush into situations and shake things up went hand-in-hand with a tendency to save the day. Unlike other examples, she was shown as justified most of the time.
Rocket: This isn't a "sit tight and hope things come out right" situation this is a "do anything and hope it's not wrong" situation!
- The appropriately named "Scrappy Lad" from Ink Pen.
- "Incrediboy" in The Incredibles. Leading to Hero Harasses Helper, leading to Motive Decay... leading to Big Bad.
- Both versions were lampshaded in Last Action Hero. Jack: "You ever see those movies where the hero tells his sidekick to stay in the car and he disobeys and gets killed?" Danny: "Good point. <...> Wait, what if staying in the car is what gets me killed?"
- There's a bit of this in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones. Anakin acts as Obi-Wan's sidekick, and when they face off against Darth Tyrannus, Obi-Wan tells Anakin to stand back and to take him together. Of course, Anakin flips his shit, charges forward, and gets tossed aside, leaving Obi-Wan to fight alone and ultimately lose. In the next movie, during the rematch, they do take him together, however.
- Dick Grayson acted like a Reckless Sidekick in Batman & Robin. The first major action sequence was a classic example of such, as Dick's insistence on going after Mr. Freeze led to him getting frozen and Batman having to choose between going after Freeze or thawing Robin. Dick receives an ass-chewing from Bruce afterward, and the conflict between the two continues for the good part of the movie.
- Amazingly, Dick manages to be reckless even when he takes Batman's advice and is cautious. When he confronts Poison Ivy in her lair, he tricks her into telling him her plan by pretending to still be in love with her, and survives her kiss by wearing rubber lips. But, once Ivy taunts Robin over this, he removes his rubber lips to one-up her and show he stole a kiss from her, instead of keeping them for protection and tackling Ivy when she doesn't expect it. Ivy becomes enraged and shoves him into her pond, where he is almost drowned by her vines.
- Chuck from Chuck, as he's not a real spy while the other two are trained spies. He's not usually particularly reckless though, and he generally tries to run away from danger unless it threatens someone he cares about.
- Wendy Watson, sidekick Middleman-In-Training in The Middleman starts out with serious concerns about becoming Robin, the Boy Hostage. Early in the series, she does end up as the hostage of a gun-totting psychologist alien-hunter and a gorilla army wielding government scientist, but she ends up saving The Middleman from a troop of evil Mexican wrestlers (before her training with Sensi Ping) and a melt ray soon enough to at least avoid the trope's more negative connotations.
- Gabrielle of Xena: Warrior Princess, especially in the earlier seasons of epitomized this trope.
- The companions in Doctor Who are often like this. In one spin-off novel, the Tenth Doctor speculates that he has a sign on his head saying "Ignore this man and any sensible thing he tells you".
- Canonically, the Eleventh Doctor asked: "Do I just have a face that nobody listens to?" in ''The Eleventh Hour" when new Companion Amy Pond walked into a room that Eleven knew was dangerous and warned her away from.
Ninth Doctor: (to a stray cat after Rose wanders off) One day, just one day, maybe, I'm going to meet somebody who gets the whole "don't wander off" thing.
- Canonically, the Eleventh Doctor asked: "Do I just have a face that nobody listens to?" in ''The Eleventh Hour" when new Companion Amy Pond walked into a room that Eleven knew was dangerous and warned her away from.
- In the backstory of Kamen Rider Double, protagonist Shotaro was this to his boss Sokichi Narumi. Which resulted in Sokichi's death.
- Richie in Highlander. He did improve a little in the later seasons before he got axed, but early on, he was always getting himself into trouble-or sometimes getting Duncan in trouble.
- Blair, sometimes, in The Sentinel.
- Ace Lightning has the stereotypically fiery red-headed Sparx.
- Lewa for the first few years of the BIONICLE storyline. He's supposedly become less reckless and impulsive over time, but he's still the one who usually ends up in trouble and needs rescuing.
- Freedom Force devotes a couple missions to one of these. A fanboy of the game's Captain America Expy, he gets shot instead of him by a machinegun-toting baddie and is saved only by an emergency blood transfusion from his hero. The transfusion gives him superpowers of his own, so he goes off on his own to find the villains' hideout (against orders to remain in safety and recover), and nearly gets himself killed again before he gets saved by another hero.
- Chie and Naoto show signs of this in Persona 4 before they get their personas. Chie rushes right into a shadow infested castle to find Yukiko, ignoring the advice of the two guys who have been here before, have a better understanding of the danger at hand, and have the means to fight it. Naoto, on the other hand, was a tad smarter but still very reckless. Her idea was to make herself the next major target for the serial killer. All of the members of the gang were almost entirely past victims who lived, so the plan was to find the truth herself and let the gang save her since she knew enough that they had been doing so for a while. However, she had no concrete facts and was only lucky that her theory was in the right ballpark. Even then, it didn't prepare her for meeting her inner shadow...
- He's by no means a sidekick, but ex-00 Agent Jack Hunter from Goldeneye Rogue Agent is heavily implied to have been this. It's what gets him dismissed from MI6 and hired by Goldfinger.
- Gordito in The Adventures of Dr. McNinja tends to act this way, though he also shows signs of being very thoughtful and clever. For example, after catching "Plumber" Victor trying to install cameras in the Doctor's office, he sets off on trying to get rid of him... by hiring another plumber and firing Victor.
- The Non-Adventures of Wonderella: Wonderita tends to get like this, simply because she's The Ditz and doesn't necessarily realize she's in a dangerous situation.
- From "The Things I Will Do If I Am Ever the Hero"
I will not make the sidekick wait somewhere while I go on ahead. He'll only get into worse trouble than he otherwise would.
- From "The Things I Will Do If I Am Ever the Sidekick":
If the hero tells me to stay put while he goes on ahead, I will do so instead of sneaking around and getting captured.
- Quinn from Demo Reel. He's more of a partner to Karl than a sidekick, but he's still younger, more passionate and Karl looks after him when he's sick.
- Godzooky in The Godzilla Power Hour had the habit of flying around Godzilla's head and trying to fight the evil Monster of the Week WHILE Godzilla himself was trying to stop said evil monster.
- Jade in Jackie Chan Adventures. While she does prove invaluable, and in most cases, her quick thinking is what saves the day, her insistence on ignoring any order of Jackie's, no matter how sensible and life-extending, makes her an avid Idiot Ball juggler.
Uncle: (after Jackie tells Jade to do nothing) Jade never "does nothing".
Jackie: I know, but I feel like I have to say that.
- Scooby-Doo: Scrappy-Doo. Considering all of the monsters of the week were old men in costumes, Scrappy might have been able to take them.
- Subverted in Batman: The Brave and the Bold; Robin is now a solo hero in his own right, but Batman still expects him to hold back and fight the Mooks. So it's quite justified for him to object to this.
- Zack in the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles wants so badly to be a Turtle that he was the source of much of the conflict in his first appearance. His second one gave him some restraint, but not much.
- Penny from Inspector Gadget averts this. She is the competent one and the main hero is Inspector Oblivious.
- My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
- Rainbow Dash tends to fill this role compared to the rest of the Mane Six, especially in the first season.
- This trope is inverted in the episode "Wonderbolt Academy", where Lightning Dust is a reckless leader and Rainbow Dash is her more sensible wingpony.
- While not an official sidekick, Max Gibson fills this role on occasion for Terry's Batman in Batman Beyond. Used most egregiously in the episode "Final Cut", where her recklessness almost gets her killed by an assassin.
- Miko Mai of Transformers: Prime, quite infamously, is always hankering to charging off into action, especially if that means combat, alongside her friends and has directly endangered them at least half a dozen times as a result of this. The kicker? Miko is a 15-16-year-old Japanese schoolgirl. Her friends — and their enemies — are giant alien robot killing machines, all of which are armed to the teeth, covered in armor that resists most conventional Earth firearms, nevermind the improvised weapons Miko tries to use, and big enough that they could easily squish her underfoot like a bug. Despite this, Miko just never seems to learn that she has no place in the actual combat. Though she does holds her own in season three with the help of the Apex Armor.
- Loudmouse is this to Undercover Elephant, usually blowing the hero's disguises or covers in front of the villain.

Is the Ciena Earnings Rebound for Real?
Ciena will release its quarterly report on Wednesday, and investors are hoping that the company can make it three quarters in a row of positive adjusted net income. As Ciena earnings have recovered, the stock's valuation has looked a lot more reasonable, even though the company still has a long way to go before it can declare its turnaround complete.
Ciena relies on the health of the market for high-speed networking, with its products helping customers create network infrastructure that optimizes the flow of data and information across their IT platforms. Spending in that area has been muted in recent years, but with signs of a comeback in IT spending, investors are hopeful that the result will be greater sales and profits for Ciena and its peers. Let's take an early look at what's been happening with Ciena over the past quarter and what we're likely to see in its report.
Stats on Ciena
Analyst EPS Estimate
Year-Ago EPS
Revenue Estimate
$532.28 million
Change From Year-Ago Revenue
Earnings Beats in Past 4 Quarters
Source: Yahoo! Finance.
Will Ciena earnings stay positive?
Analysts have gotten much more optimistic in recent months about Ciena earnings, boosting their July quarter projections by a nickel per share and their full fiscal-year estimates by double that amount. The stock has climbed almost 20% just since late May.
Ciena started the quarter off on the right foot, announcing in early June an unexpected adjusted net profit in its April quarter. Even though JDS Uniphase and NeoPhotonics both soared in sympathy, Ciena CEO Gary Smith made the argument that his company should benefit more from a general rise in network-infrastructure building than its peers. Given that neither JDS Uniphase nor NeoPhotonics have reported particularly good results before or since the Ciena report, it's possible that Ciena has found a secret to success that its counterparts simply haven't.
Still, Ciena isn't the only company in the space having success. Finisar managed to post equally impressive results and posted further gains after guiding preliminary July quarter revenue and earnings estimates higher. The Ethernet side of Finisar's business has provided particular strength to the company overall, potentially pointing the way toward the direction Ciena should follow as well.
The key to Ciena's growth, though, will be the speed with which customers build out new networks. In late July, the Southern Cross Cable Network completed the implementation of Ciena 100G technology in its high-speed broadband network serving Australia and New Zealand. As demand rises around the world, Ciena needs to get its share of similar wins in order to keep growing.
In the Ciena earnings report, watch to see whether the company can keep posting outpaced growth compared to some of its peers. Another positive result could confirm that Ciena's strategy is giving it a competitive advantage over rival networking companies.
Networking moves data, and the amount of data we store every year is growing by a mind-boggling 60% annually! To make sense of this trend and pick out a winner, The Motley Fool has compiled a new report called "The Only Stock You Need to Profit From the NEW Technology Revolution." The report highlights a company that has gained 300% since first recommended by Fool analysts but still has plenty of room left to run. To get instant access to the name of this company transforming the IT industry, click here -- it's free.

Hi everyone and welcome to my blog! This is actually my very first blog post ever – on any topic!
Just a little bit about me: I am a SharePoint consultant (Business Analyst by title) with Ideaca Knowledge Services based in Toronto, Canada. I have been actively working with SharePoint for three years now and have been specializing more in the developmental and architectural aspects of SharePoint. In a previous life I worked both with SAP and Microsoft Exchange. In my spare time (yes – I have figured out how to have a life outside of SharePoint – only took 3 years!!) I read, have started to get myself back into decent shape, and intend to spend a significant amount of time outside this summer.
In this blog I intend to cover various aspects of SharePoint with more of a focus towards development. I also plan to post solutions to questions I am asked over the course of my projects (and outside of them), so feel free to email me (gregc at spinsiders dot com) and I'll do my best to respond. I have a very ambitious goal of posting something at least once a week, so check back often!
If you are less interested in the technical aspects of SharePoint and more interested in the methods that could be employed to gather the requirements for a SharePoint implementation, take a look at my friend & colleague Ruven Gotz' blog at http://spinsiders.com/ruveng. He has some excellent articles on answering the SharePoint chicken & egg question and how to run the workshops to get to that answer.

I have put together 13 New Year business resolutions that will expose and improve your online business presence in any year you are reading this 🙂
Business Resolution 1
Be proud of yourself & of what you have achieved. Stop being so dam hard on yourself. You are doing the best you can and you are still in business. Trust me while you are reading this many are closing their business for good.
Business Resolution 2
Connect your business site to a blog whether free or self-hosted. When customers are finished buying from your site lead them to your blog and get them involved there.
Also, visa a versa with your new blog you will lead your readers to your shop to buy. Both work great together and remember that your customers are interested in you and your products so use it to your advantage.
Business Resolution 3
Get your visitors to stay in touch with your blog and you by setting up an opt-in form and start collecting your visitor's emails. You can then build up a much stronger deeper relationship over time.
Don't worry about what you will send out. Have the list and you can work on that later, just get a form on your blog. With Mailiter you can do it for free.
Business Resolution 4
Look at your navigation on your site, how many clicks does it take to get to where you want to be. And when you get there do you find what you were expecting or something totally different.
It should take 2 clicks to get to anywhere on your site anything longer you risk losing your customers.
Business Resolution 5
Revamp or declutter your site. Look at the appearance, your sidebar elements and images used or not used. Be serious and strict with yourself. What you like may not be beneficial for your customers who only need a few seconds to make up their mind of whether to purchase or not.
You are not always the best person to assess your business site because you are involved with it every day. Taking a step back and using someone else's perspective is a good way of being shown things in a different light.
Business Resolution 6
Make it your mission to not use photos of your items that look dark or dull. The internet has a wealth of online software that allows you to tweak your images to make them pop. It's important that you don't lack in this area, as its your images that speak to your customers. I have a service that can make your images pop, if you want to delegate that task.
Business Resolution 7
Promote your items offline as well as online. If you make bags, for example, use your bag when you go shopping. Lone a few bags to friends or family also with your business cards. When people ask about your products get your business cards shared.
If you can't use your products, ask businesses, event organizers if you can lone them your products for use or to display in return for you displaying your business information. Guess what if you don't ask you won't know, the worse they can say is no.
Business Resolution 8
Check your profiles on all your social network platforms and make sure you have links to your sites. You would be surprised how many profiles I come across that I want to explore more and can't because they do not display their site url.
Business Resolution 9
Start asking for feedback from your happy customers and using these testimonials on your site. Show other customers how happy they will be when they decide to purchase from you.
Business Resolution 10
Review your prices, new year new prices. Check your material costs, labor costs, and packaging costs. Recheck your postage costs, it's easy to forget this cost, yet it still eats into your profit. Make sure you are not undercharging. Look into offering the 1st class as well as 2nd class, you may want to give your customers the pricing options.
Business Resolution 11
Learn to plan ahead and start to schedule your blog posts and sharing your information on your social platforms in advance. Allowing you to free up more of your time to create. When you plan ahead you will be surprised how less pressured you will feel and how much more you will enjoy your business. To start investing in a notebook for your blog post ideas and Hootsuite.com for scheduling your social postings.
Business Resolution 12
Share more of your personal journey when it comes to your products. Instead of just describing how unique your product is and how it was created with love and care, look to sharing its unique story. Each creation you make has a process you go through, from inspiration to idea, to concept to drawings/sketches etc… share the story behind your products to set your creations apart from the crowd.
