Graffiti Online
Graffiti Online
By Fay Asimakopoulos and Tamar KB
Spring break is a weird, even if starkingly predictable, tradition. It is what prom would look like if it happened in Vegas. It purports to be the ultimate marriage of innocence and debauchery: a time to hook up, do illegal substances, and lose your voice while wearing sparkly nail polish, a Punta Cana tourist t-shirt, and the less-than-endearing naivete of someone who has never had to clean up a dismantled hotel room. And more NT students than ever before are paying to go on it.
The most popular organizer, and the corporation likely responsible for bringing this thoroughly 90s Americana rite of passage to Canada, is S-Trip. Amusingly enough, S-Trip's promotional materials tout the trip as an opportunity for PG-13 socializing mixed in with a copious amount of voluntourism and cultural exchange. In fact, S-Trip's website contains testimonials from students who claim the volunteer experience helped them "pursue an international relations major at university", or whose "life was changed!".
A quick chat with an S-Trip office staff, under the pretence of being an interested student and her concerned mother left us with no doubts about the fact that most attendees don't go on S-Trip in an attempt to build schools or rescue the Developing World from the jaws of poverty. As a student, we were told to "contact the school-wide S-Trip coordinator" for more information, and were reassured that there would be "a lot of partying, if [we] wanted that". As a parent, calling at a later time to clarify safety concerns and ask about the educational value of the trip, we were told that "volunteer opportunities exist, I think" and that "there haven't been too many safety issues in the past few years". There might have been a shrug on the other side of the line. "You know your child."The office staff sounded either thoroughly unprepared to provide rigorous data to back up his claims or humoured by the idea that a parent might want for their kids' S-Trip experience to match that of their website prospectuses.
The verdict is clear. According to an NT grad who went to Punta Cana last year, "At the end of the day, S-Trip [is] just a huge party".
Yet, if anecdotes are to be trusted, grad trip is more than just a huge party: it is a party where high schoolers can shatter all taboos, abandon all concern for public decency, and not be judged by their peers. A female grad and S-Trip veteran calls the experience "insane", noting that "many of [her] friends lost their virginities on that trip, a sex tape was made without a girl's consent, and people were nearly naked on the beach". That year, a student overdosed on drugs and was left in the hospital in a coma long past the trip's ending. This year, according to a Grade 12 male student, a "group of students managed to get their hands on cocaine",
leading to another series of emergency room visits. A Grade 12 female student who went on the Punta Cana trip this year claims that the maids got fed up with students' tendency to "leave condoms all over the floor" and left a note in Spanish imploring them to "enjoy [their] f****** time".
So extreme was the behaviour of S-Trip attendees last year, that the Punta Cana hotel they went to has banned S-Trip from hosting another grad trip there. In a phone conversation with a receptionist, in which we expressed concerns that our family vacations might be interrupted by S-Trip, we were reassured that "there would be no S-Trip" in any of the hotel's chains, and that all independent (non S-Trip) grad trip attendees would be restricted to a single hotel.
S-Trip represents a party where high schoolers can shatter all taboos, abandon all concern for public decency, and not be judged by their peers.
And while it is easy to sensationalize grad trip -- after all, others' almost cinematic debauchery makes for rather satisfying gossip -- it is more difficult to understand why and how this tradition came about. It is customary for students around the world to rejoice about the final stretch of high school; however, there are few places, other than North America, where it is acceptable, if not expected, for that celebration to take the form of complete and utter abandon.
So why do we pay so much to make complete fools of ourselves? The answer is the same myth that drives North Americans to work long, corporate hours just for a timed get-away to a tropical vacation; it is the same reason why prom, a single dance at the end of the school year, is seen as the peak of one's high school years; it is the same reason why people have Bachelor and Bachelorette parties before getting married. With mounting academic pressures, there is an anxiety about missing out -- on life experiences, childhood, and carelessness.
But this is Canada -- and so, we must get our solution in the form of a $3000, drug-addled week-long excursion. If one works hard, it is so that they can "play hard" during the weekends; moreover, the harder one works (to quote one NT student who went on S-Trip this year "I have been burning out for four straight years, and I think that I deserve this"), the more entitled one is to partying. And to party, one has to go away -- to a place where, according to our sensationalized perceptions, people have more joie de vivre, an exotic lifestyle, or both. It is a myopic, if not unfulfilling, mode of existence: it asserts not only that hard work is the only way that one can be entitled to happiness, but also that, once one has worked hard enough, they are entitled to doing anything that tickles their fancy -- as long as they can return to the monotone security of their Canadian home to continue working, unscathed, afterwards.
In the late 1960s, Glendon Swarthout's book "Where The Boys Are" documented American soldiers' summer getaways to North Carolina beaches, where they would party, womanizing and drinking heavily. It effectively ushered the idea of a spring break into the American consciousness. The students that go on S-Trip this year aren't soldiers; the justification for their complete abandon is the appealing narrative that the harder they work, the harder they must play. All other concerns are secondary.

Dating for marriage website in europe
18-Apr-2015 06:07
You will be able to find subservient women in some other countries such as Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, Korea, Laos etc.Beautiful young Asian girls will absolutely readily marry men much older than themselves!Then you can send short notes to the women you like and find out who is interested in getting to know you, also free of cost.You will also get free access to the full dating database of thousands of dating profiles of Beautiful East European women as only a portion of them is included in our gallery - with a free membership you can discover many more drop dead beautiful ladies looking for a man just like you than those featured in the galleries.The reason for the slight difference in dating is the imbalance in the population in Russia; due to sheer lack of men it is simply harder to find a husband for Russian brides or Russian women.
That makes it much easier to meet so called "East European brides" in person rather than pay hundreds of euros to russian marriage agencies for translations of letters and costly trips.
All our services are totally free for ladies ("girls date for free"), while men can optionally upgrade to premium membership, but only if they wish to meet the ladies in person or exchange contact details.
The cost of premium membership is far lower than most other Russian, Polish or Bulgarian marriage and dating agencies or so called "dating mail order brides" dating services.
If you are looking for a younger woman to date try and keep the age difference between you to no more than 13 years for Bulgarian ladies and 16 years for Russian ladies.
Most of the ladies on this dating website are originally from Bulgaria and the rest are from Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Belarus, Latvia, Lithuania, Tajikistan, Poland, Czech Republic, etc.
One point worth marking is that at Sesile you will find many women of East European origin living in the West - mostly London, UK, USA, Spain, Italy, Germany, Holland.

Looks pretty neat, I bet its not going to be cheap.
The elevon control rods are long, and those rod supports look like their going to be flimsy. Maybe they should have move the servos back to the tail. Interesting camera mount, but looks like something custom made for an expensive camera that they are selling.
When I saw the picture I thought it was going to be a little hand-size plane with everything included. That would have been nice.
Given that the FPV version with the same transmitter/video screen is just $370, I predict that the autopilot version will be around $500.
One nice thing is that they've integrated the video receiver and an LCD monitor into the transmitter.
Anybody care to predict what this space will look like in five years time??
That looks like a flipping neat setup to me, love the easy to replace expose servos. This is only version one imagine what version 10 will be like.
Gary, my prediction is that in we'll have small palm-sized planes and quads, all integrated with video downlink, and autopilots. As with all things technology, downsizing is the trend. That Ladybird, which Chris posted about last week, is a good start. All it needs is an integrated camera system, and a controller like these planes have.
Interesting, how will they get useful endurance?
You did say, "in five years". With all this push for electric cars, people are busily working away at better higher endurance batteries. I'd say in five years, we're going to have batteries that are higher energy density that LiPo.
Fair enough, I forsee methods for gathering photos taking at random during long flights and putting together meaningful maps. I also see me still hi jacking threads, sorry Hooks.
Back to that platform, for V1 its pretty exciting.

One man's mission: to make you smile with his chicken in a stroller.
For the past couple years, Milt Strong has been pushing a stroller on the Katy Trail in Dallas five days a week. Sitting pretty in the stroller is one of his three hens.
"Some people kind of look and look away, like they didn't see it and they don't want me to know they saw something," Strong said in an interview with NBC Dallas Fortworth Channel 5.
"I get all kinds of reactions, but generally everybody smiles and that's what I like."
Why does he put a hen in the stroller?
"I do it because it helps me get healthy and it put smiles on people's faces." Strong told the Dallas Morning News.
Ran into the walking chicken man this morning on #Katytrail. There was a news story about him last week in the #DFW area. pic.twitter.com/WbIhAZywKc
— Craig Smith (@craigsmith75024) July 29, 2017
Strong realized he had something special and different when he saw all the other animals on the trail. He decided that on his next walk, he would just bring his own pet along.
"About three years ago I noticed people walking their dogs, small dogs in strollers. I started seeing a whole lot of goldendoodles, those expensive dogs. And I thought, 'I've got a cock-a-doodle,'" Strong said with a laugh. "So I started pushing my little chicken." he told Channel 5.
Milt is a well-known figure on the Katy Trail. His chicken strolling gets him healthy exercise and neighborly social time. While Milt is single, we're sure any future girlfriends will give credit where credit is due. Strolling chickens are chick magnets and the ultimate wingmen, er... winghens.

Here's a video of Milt and his hen in action.
As strange a sight it might be for us, for the Dallas locals who walk the Katy Trail, Milt and his hen are a welcome sight. Who doesn't want to stop and say good morning to a chicken?

Good morning, RVA! It's 48 °F, and things have cooled off the tiniest bit. Today, expect highs right around 60 °F and continued sunshine.
Water cooler
OK my dudes, hold on to your butts, because the first weekend in December is a major holiday weekend in Richmond. Here's what's on the boughs-of-holly-covered deck:
- We've got warmish weather for tonight's Grand Illumination. The lights kick on around 5:50 PM.
- Down the street at Main Street Train Station at 6:15 PM, 100 tubas will play Christmas music? This kicks off "Shop the Shed," a new winter market in the Train Shed that'll run through the entire weekend.
- The Christmas Parade begins at 10:15 AM on Saturday and stretches down Broad Street from the Science Museum to 7th Street.
- And then there's RVA Krampusnacht—you know, when folks dress up as terrifying Christmas monsters and walk around Carytown. That's on Saturday at 6:00 PM.
Dangit, this is not the lede I wanted to read in the recap of last night's School Board meeting: "The Richmond School Board on Thursday delayed a vote on a facilities plan originally scheduled for next Monday." You can and should read Justin Mattingly's full recap over on the Richmond Times-Dispatch. A positive takeaway: Interim Superintendent Kranz did present Board Members with detailed information on the two school facilities plans (PDF presumably pending)—a definite improvement over his previous Presentation Lite. I definitely wasn't in the room last night and admittedly have a really hard time tracking with finance-related stuff, but I'm confused by the impassioned pleas from School Board that "education must become a priority in this city." Like, who are those pleas directed toward? The Mayor, through the vehicle of the Education Compact (which, remember, includes both City Council and School Board), has committed to figuring out how to fund the first five years of a facilities plan. As far as I know, we're waiting on the School Board to appoint its members to the Compact. We're waiting on the School Board to pick a path forward on a facilities plan. From the outside, it seems like everyone's stoked on making education a priority, we're just waiting on the School Board to start making moves. Eduheads, is this way off base?
Graham Moomaw and Andrew Cain report that Manoli Loupassi has requested a recount in the 68th House of Delegates election, an election he conceded when he lost to Dawn Adams by 336 votes back in November. With a handful of other district races still in limbo (the 28th, 40th, and 94th), it sounds like we still won't know who controls the House until maybe next year. Rich Meagher explains the whole situation in more detail over at RVA MAG.
The struggle is real for people with December birthdays! Here's a whole article about it by James Warren in Richmond Magazine.
Last night Senate Republicans failed to find the votes to pass their tax plan that would raise the deficit by a trillion bucks. It'd also probably wreck Obamacare, but that's true of seemingly every action taken by Senate Republicans.
Another administrative note! Ross's Tour of America continues, and, on Monday, I'll be headed back from Milwaukee. We will speak again on Tuesday (My birthday! See above). Have an excellent first weekend of December here in Richmond without me!
- Rams host Old Dominion on Saturday at 7:00 PM.
- Spiders head to Winston-Salem on Saturday at 4:00 PM to take on Wake Forest.
- Hokies and Ole Miss tip off at 2:00 PM on Saturday.
- Wahoos welcome Lehigh to Charlottesville at 12:00 PM on Saturday.
- Dukes face Stony Brook on Saturday at 2:00 PM in the second round of the Football Championship playoffs.

The Rise and Fall of the English Sentence
Why is our written language so different than our spoken language? How come no one writes like Henry James anymore? Language is so interesting!
Modern languages with a long literary tradition show a stark split between their written and spoken styles across many contexts. In current English, writing uses more varied vocabulary than conversational speech, and it uses rarer and longer words much more often. Certain structures (such as passive sentences, prepositional phrases, and relative clauses) appear more often in written than spoken language. Writers generally elaborate their ideas more explicitly through syntax whereas speakers leave more material implicit. And written language stacks clauses inside each other to a greater depth than spoken language. This is one of the most striking differences between speech and text; sentences like the opening line of the Declaration of Independence simply do not occur in conversation.
If you'd like to suggest a longread, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol' Patreon.

The first visual for the upcoming live-action film adaptation of Studio Ghibli's Kiki's Delivery Service has been revealed. The image which can be seen above features Kiki herself with broomstick in hand.
It has been confirmed that 16 year old Fuka Koshiba will play the lead-role of Kiki. The picture above features Koshiba in full costume for the role. Koshiba has stated that in order to prepare for the role of Kiki she swung a wooden sword 200 times a day.
Filming is now underway on an island in the Seto Inland Sea of Japan. Takashi Shimizu – the man behind The Grudge – is slated to direct the movie. Stay tuned for more information on the live-action Kiki's Delivery Service as it comes to light.

This recipe is so easy and delicious. You don't have to boil the noodles. It makes a lot, and leftovers freeze very well. Someone in my cooking group made it, and we all fell in love with it. I have made it several times since then. The original recipe calls for sausage, but I used ground beef instead with excellent results.
Total Time: 1/2 hour prep and 4 - 4 1/2 hours cooking time

I made it up out of desperation for my mom to eat healthier. It's low-fat but you would never think it.
Using a cooking spray, spray your crock pot well (you will be glad you did this). Brown the meat and drain, then run hot water to drain even more of the fat content out. Chop onion, green bell pepper, and mushrooms.
In the crock pot lay a layer of noodles (no need to precook), then layers of meat, cheese, cream cheese, sauce, and veggies until you fill crock pot up.
Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 1 hour.

This is great first, because of the Alfredo sauce, secondly, using a crockpot, you can plug it in and go do something else. Brown hamburger in skillet and drain. Spray crock pot with cooking spray. Spread 3/4 cup spaghetti sauce in bottom of crock pot.
Combine all ingredients, except noodles, in a large bowl. Pour half the mixture into a crock pot. Place the uncooked noodles over top of mixture, then pour the other half of mixture over top.
Ask a QuestionHere are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community or ask a new question.
How should I measure all of the ingredients for this size of a pan, 16 5/8 x 11 7/8 x 2 1/2?
This size pan holds close to the same amount as a 9x13 in baking pan. If your recipe calls for the ingredients to be placed in 9x13, then you do not need to change anything unless you have a little extra of your ingredient quantities.

In a large skillet over medium heat cook the ground beef, onion and garlic until brown. Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, salt and oregano and stir until well incorporated. Cook until heated through. In a large bowl mix together the cottage cheese, grated Parmesan cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese. Spoon a layer of the meat mixture onto the bottom of the slow cooker. Add a double layer of the uncooked lasagna noodles. Break to fit noodles into slow cooker. Top noodles with a portion of the cheese mixture. Repeat the layering of sauce, noodles and cheese until all the ingredients are used. Cover and cook on low heat in slow cooker for 6 to 8 hours. Makes 10 serving

Brown ground beef with chopped onions. Season with season salt, pepper, garlic powder (can use fresh garlic if you prefer) to taste. Drain fat. Add jar sauce, tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, approx 1/3 jar water and sugar (I also add Italian seasoning). Simmer approx 10 minutes.
While beef mix is simmering, combine large tub cottage cheese and mozzarella. (I sometimes throw in some parsley to make it look pretty!) Put enough of the sauce on bottom of crockpot to cover. Layer noodles (I usually break them in half so they fit better!). Approx 3-1/2 noodles per layer. Doesn't matter which direction you lay them! On top of noodles, layer ground beef, sauce mixture then cheeses. Repeat layers to fill crock pot. Make sure you leave enough sauce to put on last layer of noodles. Then top with last of cheese mixture.
Cook approx 6 hours on low. If you like you can add cheese on top last half hour of cooking. Do not stir! Serve with Parmesan cheese, salad and garlic bread. (03/27/2007)

Four weeks! plus one… A miracle, day #29
I never dreamt of really making this happen. But I did it! I have been blogging every day now for four whole weeks! And one day!!! I just noticed I got a day number double… Silly me. And none of you mentioned it to me either So well, day twenty-nine it is.
I couldn't have made this possible without my cell phone though. Because of it's ability to work with the WordPress app, I can literally blog everywhere. As long as my battery lasts that is. But still, blogging at work, at home, in the garden, in the car (not while driving!) even on the toilet
I can share my thoughts, my experiences, my visions and ideas all from the touch on my Nexus. I ♥ it! And of course, when I feel like typing faster and when I am around my laptop, I will use that one. Or my PC. My Nexus is great but typing on my laptop is still a whole lot faster. And easier as the screen is just a wee bit larger
And of course a real big keyboard is a lot easier to use, especially for someone with my badly developed fine motor skills. I was always bad at doing things that included little items or where you needed to have fine motoric skills. I always did my best and always got frustrated with myself. Now I know it's one of the many things that people with AS (can) suffer from. Anyway…
Tonight is the last night of the graveyard shift. I am looking forward to the weekend. We will be meeting a convention Facebook friend on Saturday. Although we must have seen her at a con, we never physically met. So it will be nice, I hope. Friend asked for a meet-up and GF and I both agreed to it.
GF has to work on Sunday. So to compensate us going downtown without BF, I asked him what he wanted to do with me on Sunday. He's still thinking about it. If the weather would allow, I would be happy as going for a nice walk somewhere with him and the dog. Little brown girl won't mind, me thinks
I just placed an order which I will be able to pick up when we're in Nijmegen on Saturday. Just texted GF that we need to leave for Nijmegen a bit earlier to pick up my order before meeting up with friend. I could have gotten it delivered free at home though. But I want to pay with credit card, as I am not sure if I can pay for it instantly or not (and with credit card I can spread the costs at a rate though…but still). I know it's not the most expensive thing I have bought, would have loved to order another one, but seeing the costs… I have checked several sites and this one is worth it's cost. People say it does what it needs to do and compared to it's bigger/more expensive/more well known brands brothers, it's not bad at all. It got between a 6,5 till 7,8 on a 1-10 grade. So well, picking it up Saturday Quite happy that I finally ordered it. Bit bummed that the one I really wanted was still so freaking expensive. But I already knew that. One could always hope to find a nice discount somewhere. Of course, seeing it's popularity, no discount was to be found anywhere near.
Ah well, we'll know more on Saturday. What I have seen on-line made me feel confident enough to buy it. It will take a small dip into my savings, BUT if all goes well, I will get a bit more pay soon!
As I believe I mentioned before, when you work at the company where I now work for (through a job agency though, no contract unfortunately), when you work there for 26 weeks, you get a raise. A small one, a bit over an Euro per hour I believe… But still, every Euro is a bit more on my bank account every week (we get paid every week). I am now working my 26th week. So starting next working week, I will finally work for more money. But it takes yet another week to get paid, so I will know how much I will be earning on the 28th, hopefully. Really curious haha
I hope it will be enough to let me save up for the upcoming costs which I will have to pay for. We need to order flight tickets for a convention in the end of October. Last year we ordered them in March as well. Got good flights and a nice price for it. So I guess that is next on the to-do list. And otherwise, it's spread credit card paying…. And then there is that convention in May, two birthdays in May, well actually 3 including my own. Some plans are in the make for June but they will also cost something. And then of course maybe moving out… So enough to save up for. But I am trying to save already. I have two metal saving cans. A small one where I am saving bills for a super douper vacation. A bigger one where I am saving coins. I have no clue to how much is in either one of them. I do know the big one weighs about two kilos now! Haha. When the big one is full, or when curiosity gets me, I will open it up. Of course the smaller one holds a lot more money. But I really want to keep saving in that one for when the time is right to go on a super vacation. I also have a stone piglet. That is my convention saving piggy. So yeah, I try to save money. I try to keep it in the cans/piglet until the time is right. I know I can also save through my internet bank account, which I also try. But when I have it locked up in a can, it's safer because I don't want to open it until needed. When it's on-line, it's easier for me to "borrow" it. Silly? Maybe… But so far, it works for me. And I am happy that I earn enough money to actually be able to both buy stuff (as in: empty out amazon.co.uk haha), pay the bills and save some money. One week/month I can save more than another week/month. I already paid the small loan I had for my car so now I can save for all the fun things ahead.
Ah well. This turned out to be a totally different blog but I liked writing it. It shows a bit of how my daily life works, how my mind works, money wise. When I feel depressed, or when I feel like I am the queen of the world, I do have spending sprees. I would love to either make myself feel better by pampering myself with nice things. I never buy things I do not need though. I always buy things that I already had on my "wanting to buy but not enough money yet" list. Or I want to buy those things because I feel so good and I really deserve them. I have never gotten myself in any depts but I have always managed to spend all my savings. That is also a reason why I need money in a saving piggy or can where I can't touch it easily. Of course, opening is easy. But I made a promise to myself as to when I am "allowed" to open. And breaking such a promise to myself would be as bad as breaking a promise I made to some one else.
So well, you can see this is a laptop written post. Many images Haha. I always try to make the posts cheerful, when possible seeing how I feel and what the subject of the posts is. So this post, you got a small financial insight into the money world of Lonely Wallflower. I am not rich. But also not that poor. I work hard so I can afford what I need. And then some… All in all. no complaints. Of course, more money is always welcome. But I guess most people who aren't considered rich in the eyes of the public feel this way.
I will leave you with a nice Swedish song. No worries, they sing in English and I guess most of you, if not all of you, will know this song. And I suspect some of you will even know the words to it. So please, feel free to sing along
All my best, thanks for reading/rating/liking/commenting!
Luv, LW

Never met anyone who does not like ABBA… well done on making it to a month with blogging each day, it is quite an achievement!
I also like the WordPress app; I can write and comment from anywhere, like now I am waiting to go into the theatre to see Macbeth! Although I do not write blogs on my phone, I feel the screen is too small, HTC Wildfire I need a better HTC with a bigger screen!
Hope the last shift goes well and you can enjoy the weekend meeting with your friend.
Have fun!

Thanks! I really like to do it so that helps as well. Well, you've seen the phone I use in this post. It takes some getting used to but I am still learning and getting faster every day.
It does bug me that the read option in wordpress doesn't show all the blogs I do follow. Is it because I turned off email notifications or? Me dunno… Weird.
Have a good Friday/weekend dear!

Inspired and Inspiring (I Hope)
Welcome to my website! I'm delighted that it's finally up. It was a thrill to compile the many laudatory reviews and comments as well as the exciting Before/After photos.
A tremendous thank you to my creative, talented, and hard-working team: Alex Custodio and Travis Wall, who translated my ideas and vision into reality.
Thanks as well to my clients who welcomed me as a Professional Organizer into their homes and offices, and trusted me to help them declutter, downsize, organize and more!
I enjoy my retirement from Social work so much that it usually doesn't feel like work. I particularly love taking the Before/After photos and sharing them on Instagram and Facebook (and with my clients).
In this blog, I'll be sharing thoughts, ideas, observations, and tips. I'm aiming to post on a weekly basis, every Sunday evening. I hope that you will enjoy reading my blog, and I welcome your comments, questions, and suggestions.

Ulta Slumps, Netflix Rallies on Expansion Hopes
The Dow Jones Industrial Average nearly finished the week with a perfect record, but turned south in the last hour of trading, breaking a three-day, 397-point rally. The stock market is closed tomorrow in observance of Good Friday. Although blue chips backtracked slightly on Thursday, new data painted a picture of a rosily improving economy, with weekly jobless claims declining more than expected, and U.S. manufacturing growth also showing more robust signs of life. Despite these bullish omens, the Dow lost 16 points, or 0.1%, to end at 16,408.
The Dow, as a weighted index of just 30 stocks, can be a little misleading. For example, the famed index only fell today because IBM, the second-heaviest weighted stock in the index next to Visa, shed 3.3% on a revenue miss. Most stocks in the Dow actually advanced today; stocks like Walt Disney , which added 1.3%. Disney's still enjoying the success of Frozen, the top-grossing animated film of all-time, in various mediums. The movie's eponymous soundtrack logged its 20th week on the Billboard charts, finishing at the top, outselling the number two album by a four-to-one margin.
Netflix , in its last day of trading before reporting quarterly earnings on Monday, rallied 4.3% to finish the week. According to a Bloomberg report earlier today, Vodafone is negotiating with Netflix in hopes of giving customers access to its library of streaming video. Netflix stock was also upgraded today by Pacific Crest analysts, who expect growth in international markets to drive share growth through 2016. A deal with Vodafone, which holds significant market share in Europe, could be just such an avenue to growth abroad.
Ulta Salon, Cosmetics & Fragrance also ended as a big mover today, slumping 2.7%. Earnings per share and revenue both beat Wall Street estimates in the most recent quarter, as same-store sales surged an impressive 9.2% in the period. Ulta has shown its ability to consistently execute, growing sales by close to 20% annually for the last four years. Meanwhile, net income during that period has more than quintupled. The beauty retailer grew its store count from 550 stores to 675 last year, an increase of 23%. With a goal of 1,200 stores in the U.S., and a proven track record of execution, Ulta stock still boasts marvelous growth prospects.

Australia's new prime minister has not been shy about his strong Christian faith, and now his views of the current state of education in his country regarding "values" is stirring controversy Down Under.
Scott Morrison said in a radio interview after assuming office Aug. 24 that he sends his children to a private school because he doesn't want "the values of others" imposed on them, .
Morrison agreed with broadcaster Alan Jones of the station 2 GB in Sydney that a special state-sponsored curriculum on teen sexuality for high schoolers made his "skin curl."
In a separate interview on Monday by radio station 3AW about his position on so-called gay conversion therapy, he declined to take a position. The issue came up as a coalition of "survivors," pastors and community advocates circulated a petition calling for a crackdown on the practice.
But the prime minister responded when Jones asked his opinion of the high-school program in the state of Victoria that has students role-playing various sexualities.
"Does this make your skin curl? That there are character cards under this [program] where young kids in schools, girls, Megan, we're told that Megan is 17, she lives in the city and works in the local cafe she's had 15 sexual partners and describes herself as bisexual, and these girls in class are told to role model these particular people," Jones said.
"Year 9 students are told to role play them and the teachers are given role-playing cards. And Kelly is 14 and she's interested in girls she's not sure but she thinks she might be a lesbian and all of this is going on in the classroom. Is that going to happen in classrooms under your prime ministership?"
Morrison replied: "It does, Alan, for this reason, the values I have as a parent, that Jenny and I have as parents, that's where you get your values from," he said.
"I don't want the values of others being imposed on my children in my school, and I don't think that should be happening in a public school or a private schools."
He said he wants to protect independent schools "to ensure they can continue on providing at least that choice."
"When it comes to public schools … how about we just have state schools that focus on things like learning maths [and] learning science," he said.
Morrison said it was one of the reasons he sent his children to an independent Baptist school.
"It's not happening in the school I send my kids to, and that's one of the reasons I send them there," he told 2GB.
The Guardian said the teen sexuality program by the Victorian government aims to "address and prevent family violence, through the examination of topics around gender, power and respect."
Morrison's public support for religious schools over the public institutions, the paper said, "comes amid an increasingly fractious education funding debate."

War of words: Alan Moore slams Frank Miller
Watchmen author Alan Moore has criticized fellow comic writer Frank Miller after reading the latter's comments on the Occupy movement. Moore has called Miller's work Sin City, "unreconstructed misogyny" and also...books Updated: Dec 08, 2011 11:48 IST
Watchmen creator Alan Moore calls Frank Miller's Sin City "unreconstructed misogyny" and 300 "homophobic and completely misguided".
Moore's outburst was in response to comments made by the American Miller on the Occupy movement via his blog last month, where he described it as "nothing but a pack of louts, thieves, and rapists, an unruly mob, fed by Woodstock-era nostalgia and putrid false righteousness".
In an extended tirade, Miller added: "These clowns can do nothing but harm America. Wake up, pond scum."
While admitting that he and Miller "have diametrically opposing views upon all sorts of things" in an interview with British independent publisher Honest Publishing, Moore appears to have taken particular umbrage at the Occupy comments.
He described the anti-capitalist protests as "a completely justified howl of moral outrage", adding that they had been "handled in a very intelligent, nonviolent way".
Moore went on: "If it had been a bunch of young, sociopathic vigilantes with Batman makeup on their faces, [Miller would] be more in favour of it."
He then unleashed a torrent of abuse aimed at Miller's work:
"Frank Miller is someone whose work I've barely looked at for the past 20 years. I thought the Sin City stuff was unreconstructed misogyny; 300 [a 1998 comic book series] appeared to be wildly ahistoric, homophobic and just completely misguided. There has been a rather unpleasant sensibility apparent in Frank Miller's work for quite a long time."
Both authors have been hugely influential in the comic book industry. Moore's Watchmen and V for Vendetta have been turned into successful feature films, while Christopher Nolan's forthcoming film The Dark Night Rises is said to be loosely based on Miller's Batman: The Dark Night Returns series.

Nerves of steel
We've heard of a game of chicken but this takes it to the next level!
The soldier pictured decides to stand on a runway whilst a pilot does a low fly-by.
It's a daredevil stunt that only highly skilled pilots can perform, trying to get as near to the ground as possible at speeds in excess of 500mph.
This soldier has nerves of steel, he doesn't flinch, even though it looks like the fighter jet just gave him a new haircut!

It's 2049, and humanity is dying.
However, there is hope that we can return. The A.I. program known as the Human Intelligence Vaulting Experiment was designed to extract the memories, genetic codes, and knowledge from its patients. When the fallout of nuclear war passes, and the Earth is habitable again, it will clone and reintroduce the human species with all of our collective knowledge and give us a better second chance. Our only chance. But Desmon can't release the ship yet. Not with the way it's been talking.

Olympic Roundup Day 1 - Ginny Thrasher is Golden in Women's Air Rifle and Men's Archery Team Repeats Silver
For shooting enthusiasts, the start of the Rio Olympics could hardly have been better. The USA Shooting team started off their Olympic effort in the best possible way today with Ginny Thrasher's gold medal finish at the very first medal-awarding event of the 2016 Rio Olympics. USA's second medal of the Games came from another form of shooting - archery. The American men's archery team repeated their London 2012 silver medal performance, losing the gold medal match to the Koreans Saturday afternoon.
Women's Air Rifle
Ginny Thrasher has had one heck of a year. In my last post I dubbed 2016 the Year of Thrasher. While her win today came unexpectedly in the eyes of some, she blazed her path to the Olympics with plenty of gold medal performances in the months leading up to the Games. The underdog aspect of her story starts with her age, as she is an Olympic rookie, the youngest on this year's USA Shooting Olympic team and the youngest competitor to qualify for the finals. In fact, among the seven other shooters who qualified for the finals match in women's air rifle, Ginny's teammate Sarah Scherer is the next-closest in age, at six years her senior.
The eight ladies in the women's air rifle final today. I love seeing the different ways people shoot. Each of these women is different, but with an appropriately adjusted air rifle in their hands they are unstoppable. Top left and bottom right are #TeamUSA 💪🇺🇸 #Repost @issfpicture with @repostapp #rio2016 #aimforfit #shootfit #nbcolympics #olympics ・・・#issf
Beyond her relatively young age, Ginny's relatively short five years of competitive shooting experience makes her victory today even more exceptional. She picked up an air rifle as a high school freshman at West Springfield High School in Fairfax County. I graduated from a rival high school (Lake Braddock, which is not a pertinent fact, nor is the fact that we called her school "West Stinkfield") and she also shot for the junior rifle team I was a part of back in the day, the Arlington Optimist-Acorns. This team has a storied history, with several NCAA and national champion shooters hailing from its ranks, including another Olympic rifle medalist in Mike Anti (silver, 50m 3-position rifle in Athens in 2004). Her shooting performance seemed to blossom this year at West Virginia University, where something must have clicked with her coach, her team, her equipment, and her mindset. WVU is a powerhouse, it's several-time national champion rifle team producing many Olympians, including Niccolo Campriani, who is the defending 3-position 50m rifle Olympic champ and silver medalist in men's air rifle (look for him later this week in every men's rifle event). What Ginny might lack in years' experience, she appears to have made up for in talent, drive, and excellent mental management.
USA Shooting had three other athletes compete today, whose performances have been outshined by the golden glow of Ginny's match. Sarah Scherer finished in eighth place today in the same event Ginny won. As the winner of the air rifle Olympic Trials, Sarah was technically the official quota slot designee for the women's air rifle Olympic events. Ginny got to shoot this air rifle event because she won the smallbore Olympic Trials and she fired a minimum qualifier score in an international air rifle match leading up to the Olympics. Since the USA only had one quota slot for the women's air rifle, the fact that two athletes got to compete is as The Donald might say "a YUGE deal" and doubled the USA's chance for a medal, which paid off.
Sarah mentioned on social media today that an official asked her to change her butt plate position ten minutes before the start of the finals. Sarah finished in the top eight in London. She won NCAA titles and national championships, won the USA Shooting Olympic Trials, all with the same butt plate position. I'm not sure what the official saw today that was different than in the past. But to have equipment changed at the last minute is a big problem for any shooter. Sarah is handling the situation with grace. Sarah gets to shoot in the women's 3x20 50m rifle event later in the week based on the same scenario that allowed Ginny to shoot air rifle today. I sincerely hope that Sarah gets redemption. She's retiring after this Olympics due to a back injury from which she's already made one epic recovery to qualify for the Rio Games.
I finished 8th in the world! I am walking away from Air rifle knowing I put everything on the line today and I shot my best. With that said: the final was very frustrating... 10 mins before the final an official made me change my butt plate and it's been that way since college through all of the numerous equipment controls. The result was I had to muscle the gun into my shoulder to stay on the bull. All of the rifle shooters understand that this has a significant impact on your hold. But I made the most of it by shooting my smallest holds. As an athlete, you never know the adversity ahead and it's about how you make the most of every opportunity to compete your best. I have faith that God had His plan fulfilled no matter how it might feel right now. #GodisGood #keepthefaith #teamusa #Rio2016
Men's Air Pistol
Jay Shi and Will Brown each posted a world class score of 577 out of 600 today. Eight men shot that same score, and through tie-breakers (typically counting back from the last shot, what the last string of 10 shots was to break the tie) Will finished in 12th and Jay finished in 18th. For both men that's an excellent finish, though not finals-worthy. Overall this is a great day for USA Shooting and a great start to the Olympic Games.
Men's Recurve Archery
I'm not going to claim to be an expert on Olympic recurve archery. I am just a huge fan. These archers shoot a recurve bow at 70m, which is almost 77 yards, aiming at the X-ring which is about size of a silver dollar. They shot what I would consider to be a typical match yesterday in the ranking round - 72 arrows for cumulative individual score. With a max score of 720 points possible, a Korean archer named Kim Woojin shot a world record of 700 in Friday's ranking round. The Korean men kept that momentum going through elimination rounds today's matches, when the top 12 teams are organized into brackets, March Madness-style with the top four teams getting a bye in the first round. Three archers rotate through a lineup and each shoot one arrow. Then the opposing team does the same. This is called shooting an "end". Each "end" is compared between teams and the team with the highest end score gets 2 points. If there's a tie, points are split 1-1. The team that gets to 6 points first wins. Teams advance within brackets until they meet in the gold medal match, as the Koreans and Americans did today.
The Korean team got third in 2012, taken out of gold medal contention by the men from the USA. They came back with a vengeance this year, setting a team record in the process. Jake Kaminski and Brady Ellison were part of the silver-medal team in 2012 and 2016. Zach Garrett joined them this year by finishing in the top three in archery Olympic trials.
Archery matches continue throughout the week, with men's and women's individual matches still to come. Keep an eye on Team USA's archers, especially Brady Ellison, who shot a 699/720 (one point off the world record set by Kim yesterday) in a World Cup earlier this year.
A Win for the Shooting Sports
After a banner day like today, there is a large part of my heart that makes me so happy to be part of this community of shooters. Not only did they earn America its first medals at the 2016 Olympics. Not only did shooters perform with sportsman-like conduct, and behave like class acts in their interviews afterward. They did so much more than just elite athletic performance and interviews. Shooters excelled today in events that show the world that firearms and bows have purposes beyond what typical mass media outlets show. These shooters performed well not just for Team USA, but for the global community of shooters. For that I say thank you.
Thank you Ginny.
Thank you Jake.
Thank you Brady.
Thank you Zach.

First, has anything like this happened to you? Second, how would you deal with this scenario?
I had purchased "To Kill a Mockingbird" on my brand new Nook Color on 22 May 2011. For several days I had no problems, and read to I think Chapter 9. I went to read more tonight, and find that instead of TKAM (I still see TKAM's cover art) it opens to some Jane Eyre. On the Nook itself I see TKAM's cover art but in the Nook Library on their web site, I see Jane Eyre's cover art instead of the correct TKAM's art. TKAM also showed up as being archived, and I DID NOT archive it myself.
I called up B&N and their obviously offshore'd rep told me it would be about a week before they will have this fixed. So, a book I read for several days, got pretty hooked, I now have to wait a week for B&N to figure out and fix whatever the heck happened? It's a good thing I have a physical copy of this book, otherwise I'd be even more pissed off.
I want to love the Nook, I actually enjoyed reading TKAM electronically, being able to do a simple tap on a screen to hit the next page. But this is a pretty big mess up. And I have other issues with finding quality copies of the classics, but that's for another later thread. Also, I tried looking for TKAM in B&N's web site to think about just repurchasing the book so I could continue reading, but I CANNOT FIND IT now... This smacks of the old Microsoft Zune days when for a few months albums would just get yanked from the Zune Pass and your own Zune device, without warning, notice, or anything...
I want to like e-books, but it seems there are still many kinks to work out.

Waterloo druggist promotes pharmacy ownership
Source: wcfcourier.com
Nov 25, 2018 | By: Pat Kinney For The Courier
WATERLOO — Bob Greenwood says Rabbi Sol Serber was his most constructive critic.
The late longtime leader of Sons of Jacob Synagogue would call the Waterloo pharmacist frequently.
During Greenwood's years on the Waterloo City Council, Serber would urge Greenwood to improve his posture at televised council meetings so he looked poised and alert. Serber kept little turtle statues around his home, and urged Greenwood to follow their example and "stick his neck out" every once in a while.
Greenwood followed his mentor's advice. Thirty years ago, Greenwood stuck his neck out when he left the pharmacy he'd been working at for a decade to run his own independent drug store.
Now, Greenwood's done it again. He's mentoring aspiring young independent pharmacists — not just the mechanics of filling prescriptions, but the nuts and bolts of running a business.
Over the last 18 months, he's had pharmacy school graduates perform a one-year residency through the University of Iowa.
Greenwood's first resident, Wartburg College and University of Iowa pharmacy school graduate Rob Nichols, now helps Greenwood mentor other young pharmacists.
Nichols, an Ottumwa native who played football at Wartburg, is working for Greenwood full-time and hopes to get his own independent pharmacy when the right opportunity presents itself. He also majored in business, and is saving for the day that can happen. With Greenwood, he's also working with other fifth-year pharmacy and post-graduate students obtaining field experience.
Greenwood is trying to stem a decades-long decline in independent pharmacies by promoting entrepreneurship in the field. Nichols is one of his best examples of that effort.
"He's surrounded himself with some of the best pharmacists around the state," Greenwood said. "So he set himself up to be successful through hard work. And just paying attention. He knew who he had to meet. He was active in the student pharmacy programs both and Iowa and at the national level," even starting a student chapter of the National Community Pharmacy Association in Iowa City.
"I would say in the last 15 years we probably lost 300 stores," Greenwood said, where 850 independent pharmacies may have existed when he entered the field. He named at least a half-dozen independent pharmacies in Waterloo-Cedar Falls alone that no longer exist.
The University of Iowa started the pharmacy residency program. While Greenwood's affiliation is a fairly recent development, over time he's been very supportive. He's hired about six to 10 graduates of that program.
Nichols said the program encourages talented students from Iowa "to stay in Iowa, and with that education, to understand the importance of giving back to the community."
"We want to encourage entrepreneurship, ownership," Greenwood said. "We have to train these (pharmacists) to backfill these rural communities," Greenwood said. "Dyersville. Cherokee. Rural areas."
Greenwood told of one instance in which a small-town pharmacist ready to retire searched five years to find a young qualified pharmacist interested in taking over his store.
Nichols said he decided to enter the pharmacy field late during his undergraduate education at Wartburg; He worked at Meyers Pharmacy in Waverly and became active in professional associations.
"I kind of fell in love with the profession," Nichols said. "At that point I decided to pursue not only just being a pharmacy technician, but I wanted to pursue the path of being a pharmacist." He worked as a technician during pharmacy school. He graduated from Wartburg in 2011.
Eventually, he was admitted to pharmacy school at Iowa.
"When I got on there I took on some leadership roles, kept me involved within the profession," he said. He worked at a pharmacy in Denver operated by Greenwood.
Greenwood was president of the National Community Pharmacy Association at the time Nichols started a student chapter at Iowa. Nichols then worked with the university so Greenwood's business would become an accredited site for the residency program, emphasizing pharmacy ownership.
"In pharmacy school, you learn everything there is to know about the medications. But in residency, you learn how to take care of people," Nichols said.
He said his business background guided his decision to focus his residency on ownership.
"And having Bob as a mentor, learning the ins and outs of the business of running a pharmacy, managing a pharmacy, was just an added benefit of me being at this site for a residency," Nichols said.
His residency concluded in June, and Greenwood hired him full time. He's working with new pharmacists coming into the residency program at Greenwood.
He was one of just three African-Americans in his pharmacy class at Iowa, and pharmacy mentors who are minorities are rarer still, he said.
For his efforts, Greenwood and his business are receiving an Iowa Trailblazer award from the Coalition to Build a Better Community in Iowa, an organization created by local automobile executive Jeff Zaputil to recognize innovation and initiative in local entrepreneurship.
Greenwood "inspires others to take charge of their own destiny," Zaputil said.

How Pharmacists Can Stay at the Forefront of Patient Care in an Evolving Market/1 Comment/in TRxADE Rx Guru /by Rx Guru
How Pharmacists Can Stay at the Forefront of Patient Care in an Evolving Market
Source: pharmacytimes.com
Amazon recently announced its entry into pharmacy through the acquisition of PillPack, a service that delivers medications, presorted in adherence packaging, to a patient's home. The announcement has the pharmacy profession and the pharmaceutical industry debating several questions around the deal's impact on local pharmacies and the role of the pharmacist in this process. At last estimate, the burden of nonadherence on our healthcare system exceeded $300 billion in direct and indirect costs, with approximately 50% of patients not taking their medications as prescribed, indicating a clear opportunity to mitigate related barriers to improved adherence.
While convenient access to medications certainly aids adherence, and could be facilitated by the PillPack acquisition, the deal stands to disrupt direct pharmacist-to-patient contact and the essential role of the community-based pharmacist within the healthcare continuum. Convenience of medication delivery is not a panacea for resolution of nonadherence and falls woefully short in addressing other critical aspects of addressing medication-related problems including unanticipated medication interactions, gaps in care, cost challenges, lack of patient education, lifestyle incompatibilities, and others.
Rather than focusing on the PillPack acquisition by Amazon as a threat, pharmacists should consider this as an opportunity to reassess the value that they bring—the existing patient care services, tools, and technology that equip them to deliver patient-centric, personalized care. Whether employing data analytics to more efficiently identify needed interventions, adherence packaging, or medication therapy management, pharmacies can enhance their service offerings to differentiate their practices and keep patients at the center of care.
Leveraging Adherence Tools
Pharmacists have long differentiated themselves with patients by stepping up to help with the confusion around managing multiple medications, and monitoring health issues. By using technology to streamline patient communications, and offering adherence tools, such as multimed blister cards, that can be customized to each patient, pharmacists can ensure they are not edged out by the online retailer.
This is especially true when patients experience care transitions. From one care setting to the next, they need the pharmacist as a local resource to help ensure smooth transition, and guide them on their path to better health outcomes. Research has shown that pharmacists are specially qualified to fulfill this role, helping to address concerns, and reduce medication errors that might not always be evident. The one-size-fits-all approach that Amazon is developing circumvents the role of the local pharmacist, and is not designed to meet the individualized needs of patients with unique health concerns.
Enhancing Pharmacy Care for Better Results
As our nation's most accessible healthcare professionals, pharmacists serve as touchstones of care in communities all across the country, offering patient-centered, personalized, and coordinated care. Emerging data-driven solutions provide pharmacists with tools they need to increase their value through targeted clinical engagement, enabling them to further improve health outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, while offering a level of patient convenience that rivals Amazon-PillPack.
Centralized, actionable data specific to managing patient engagement is essential to improving care while reducing costs across the care continuum. For this reason, healthcare needs a system that not only provides convenience related to medication access—as this Amazon acquisition aims to do—but also keeps the pharmacist regularly connected to the patient to evaluate medication-related health needs on an ongoing basis, communicating as needed with patient and prescriber regarding medication adherence, potential medication changes or dosage adjustments, side effects, drug interactions, needed vaccinations, and more.
The coming months will reveal changes that result from the Amazon-PillPack deal. In the meantime, pharmacists should take this as an opportunity to amplify their value to further differentiate their practices, ensuring that their role will not be diminished by this new venture. By staying connected to their patients and implementing tools that help to expand their service offerings and improve patient care, today's pharmacists will reinforce their own essential role in the care continuum, now and in the future.

Human? is an anthology of science fiction and fantasy stories edited by Judith Merril, published as a paperback original by Lion Books in 1954. No further editions were issued.
S&M (an abbreviation of Symphony and Metallica) is a live album by the American heavy metal band Metallica, with The San Francisco Symphony conducted by Michael Kamen. It was recorded on April 21–22, 1999 at The Berkeley Community Theatre. This is the final Metallica album to feature Jason Newsted as bassist.
S&M contains performances of Metallica songs with additional symphonic accompaniment, which was composed by Michael Kamen, who also conducted the orchestra during the concert. The idea to combine heavy metal with an epic classical approach, as James Hetfield has stated repeatedly, was an idea of Cliff Burton. Burton's love of classical music, especially of Johann Sebastian Bach, can be traced back to many instrumental parts and melodic characteristics in Metallica's songwriting including songs from Ride The Lightning and Master of Puppets. The other inspiration was Deep Purple's 1969 Concerto for Group and Orchestra. Purple revived their hybrid musical performance in 1999's Live at the Royal Albert Hall after being notified that Metallica were doing theirs earlier that year.
"Human" is an electronic song performed by British group Goldfrapp. The song was written by the group with members of Startled Insects' (Tim Norfolk and Bob Locke), and produced by Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory for the duo's debut album Felt Mountain (2000). "Human" is the only track on Felt Mountain with additional songwriters. It was released as the album's third single on 26 February 2001.
"Human" received generally positive reviews from pop music critics. Flak Magazine reviewer Eric Wittmershaus called the song a "surprisingly-daring-yet-easy-to-listen-to genre-bender" that "is easily the disc's standout track." Sacha Esterson of Musicomh.com described the track as "middle eastern-influenced upbeat gem" that is "particularly fantastic."NME wrote that "Human" "sounds like Shirley Bassey, but with none of the dance nous the Welsh warbler brought to her collaboration with the Propellerheads."
These are the formats and track listings of major single releases of "Human".
I knew a woman once
giving birth to kittens and mice
And the kittens were born full of their brothers and sisters
And they were punished swiftly
though they didn't know why
They thought they were food
they did not know what they'd done
And I was a person once
sending off unread letters
receiving no reply
never bothering asking why
I had a heart once
full of fire and passion
but the summer took it away from me
And autumn has come to retrieve it
And I was a man once
When I was six-years-old
but now I am just a boy
pretentious and brash and bold
The kittens were murdered
thrown into burlap sacks
and weighted down with rocks
in a river deep and black
And they went to Heaven.

On April 18, 2015, the Conteneo team facilitated a session on the California drought, "Let's Talk Water," at the annual Redwood City-San Mateo County Chamber of Commerce Progress Seminar. Robert Bell, former San Mateo City Manager, was one of the organizers and sat down with us recently to discuss the session, and how the Knowsy Board Game
was used to build empathy and allow people who had only just met to tackle such a complex issue. (For those not in the know, Conteneo's Alignment Engine is the online and business-focused evolution of the Knowsy Board Game and consumer iPad app.)
Conteneo: What was the purpose of the Knowsy "Let's Talk Water" Session?:
Robert Bell: Once a year, at the annual Progress Seminar, San Mateo County community, business and government leaders get the chance to come together to learn, share and discuss successes and ideas for the future of our region. For this year's event, we decided to invite the Conteneo team to host a number of breakout sessions using Knowsy in order to help participants talk about a complex issue we are facing--the California drought--and to experience an innovative way to catalyze meaningful conversations to increase empathy, connection and understanding.
Did Knowsy accomplish this?
The Knowsy Board Game was fantastic. We ran four sessions, each very well attended and what surprised everyone was how effectively the game's structure helped attendees both talk about the topic, and learn about what others thought -- without the typical difficulties that groups have in making sure everyone is both heard and has time to share their ideas. Laura Richardson, our facilitator, asked each session's attendees at the end how many felt they knew the people at their table better than the neighbors on their own street. The question did get many laughs, but the reality is that nearly everyone in the room agreed that the game structure really helped them get to know the 6 or 7 people at their table better and faster than they know folks on their own block.
When do you think Knowsy works best?
For people to come together to tackle tough problems, whether in business or in their communities, people need to gain a certain level of empathy and understanding for those they need to work with. I'm convinced that Knowsy can be a key part in creating an effective environment where people can move beyond soundbites and superficial exchanges and actually gain empathy and understanding about the groups they are in. This is really the foundation for solution-building.
So the Progress Seminar participants really enjoyed it too?
The Knowsy sessions received the highest evaluations from the participants, many of whom said that participating helped them make important connections with other attendees, which is one of the primary reasons people attend!
