Australian employment rate posted disappointing figures for jobs data after Fed's expected hike in the interest rate with the Bank of Japan policy review ahead. Recent news revealed that the BOJ will be releasing a new and up to date policy views around noon Japan time.
Employment change figures in February showed an incremental drop of about 6,400, missing an expected gain of at least 16,000 with the unemployment rate ranging from somewhere in between 5.9 percent from 5.7 percent. The quarterly underemployment was still at 8.6 percent; according to Australian Bureau of Statistics "The underemployment rate is still at a historically high level for Australia, but has been relatively unchanged over the past two years"
The new policy review set by the Bank of Japan, the yen was down 0.10 percent at 113.28. The AUD/USD was also trading a tad lower; it is down by 0.18 percent at 0.7696. On the other hand, GBP/USD is currently trading at 0.05 percent to 100.31 opening the Thursday market.
While the U.S. dollar index at the morning market is trading heftily against a basket of currencies, losing momentum by at least 0.05 percent to 100.31. The whole market is expecting somewhere around the figures of 0.25 percent for the upcoming Federal Reserve Open Market Committee or FOMC.
FOMC noted that The Committee expects that economic conditions will evolve in a manner that will warrant gradual increases in the federal fund's rate; the federal fund's rate is likely to remain, for some time, below levels that are expected to prevail in the longer run. However, the actual path of the federal fund's rate will depend on the economic outlook as informed by incoming data,"
USD Versus Fed's Hike
The greenback slips by more than 1 percent overnight, while earlier trades on Thursday morning showed it losing 1.13 percent. The Federal Reserve's recent actions to increase the interest rates by 0.25 percent a 0.75-1 percent range.
The greenback continues to lose momentum; metals are having a tremendous run in the past days. The gold out of all the metals increased by 2 percent or $24.10 to 1,224.90 an ounce, according to analysts from Accendo Markets "Gold has been a clear winner from the U.S. dollar's sharp selloff following the Fed's rate hike, as the precious metal halts its downtrend to post fresh 2-week highs. In an unusual bullish move for the non-yielding safe haven asset after a rate hike, this can be entirely attributed to the aforementioned USD weakness,"

Brackets....get your brackets here... Did you fill out your brackets?
That seems to be the general question the past two days. If you don't fill out the brackets does that make you un-American? If you picked San Diego State over Indiana are you going to go toes up? It is all in fun right? Is it a game of chance, gambling, or just stupid luck? Either way here is how the mommyrox gets the picks done. Yes. I caved to the pressure of the all mighty brackets. At my work we have a pool manager (no this is not the guy who comes to clean the water hole in the back yard and keeps it tidy) this really nice guy manages all of the scoring for all the peeps. So I get his sheet and take it home. I look at it and decide that my picks are going to be no better than my 4 year olds. So what better thing to do than go to Bud and say "Hey Bud who do you like better Duke or Southern? He picks Duke. I am charged, he may actually do well here. We continue through the entire sheet and while I believe he had the foresight to pick a few major upsets I am content with his overall choices. Under normal circumstances this selection process would be a no brainer to the trained adult. Now to a 4 year old it is all in ability to say the team name right? Wrong. He may not be able to say Whichita State, but he can say Florida and Duke to the finals!
Oh yeah..... he did pick San Diego State lets hope they don't go toes up in the game!

Memphis Episode 1
By A.man.I
As promised, I'm bringing you a week of adventures from the National Conference for Media Reform which was held in Memphis Tennessee earlier this month. Throughout my broadcasting career, I've attended a variety of journalism conferences. In this business, the power of networking can not be underestimated. I attended my first NABJ (National Association of Black Journalists) conference while in college. I was invited to the RTNDA's annual gathering after I graduated, and received a News Management Internship through the organization. I've also joined the Atlanta Association of Black Journalists, and I'm planning to attend the NABJ national conference this summer.
Since I'm now working on a citizen journalism show called "UR TV," the Media Reform conference seemed like a great opportunity to learn more about grassroots media, and meet the independent media makers. I've learned a great deal about the blogging movement, and citizen journalism since I started working on the project six months ago. I have also grown to appreciate the power that we all have to be communicators.
Today we travel to Memphis, but end up in Tupelo Mississippi. Later this week, I'll share some of my experiences from the conference. I visit the Lorraine Motel where Dr. King was assassinated. I meet some Memphis locals, and hang out with blip.tv's co-founder Dina Kaplan and a couple of video bloggers.
Episode 1 is below.

Me again.
As long as no one signed up to blog this week, I figured I'd pick up the reins. It worked out, too, because I made a new recipe, I hosted a gathering that's worth talking about, and I have an amazing picture of Aliza to share. Plus, as this thing nears the end (the real end this time), I'm getting a little nostalgic for the old days where this blog was all me all the time. (Speaking of which, there's another end-of-blog [a real end this time] coming, so stay tuned.)
The first two hours of Shabbat were not the sweetest ever. My normally cheerful 18-month old tried out her toddler skills on a late-afternoon tantrum of epic proportions. By the time Marc got home from an hour stuck in traffic on 76 and we got out the door again to go to dinner, I was pretty sure we were doomed. Then, much to my surprise, immediately upon arrival at Ilana and Adam's, Aliza gave a winning smile and proceeded to do laps around their first floor for about 20 minutes straight.
Dinner was truly delicious, and Marc and I are still talking about the soup (heavy on the turmeric) two days later, but I'll admit I was distracted by having just barely survived the tantrum. Nonetheless, we ate, we enjoyed, we got to catch up with friends, Aliza said, "cat" upwards of 1000 times, and we had a lovely walk home.
Saturday was a Tikvah day, and we had big plans to try out a new baby wrangling system to allow us (and others in the not-so-distant future) to be part of the community while also keeping our kids contained. But, surprise! The William Way Center had a giant (and beautiful) Christmas tree set up right in our path, thwarting this set of plans, but forcing us to try out new ones that actually worked out much better than I could have expected.
For the potluck lunch, I made my old standby of baked tofu in a bunch of remnants of whatever marinades were in the fridge, plus, for the first time ever (like ever in my life), I made a sweet noodle kugel. My family only ever ate savory kugels, so there was no family recipe to rely on or childhood memory I was trying to recreate. Instead, I looked at a bunch of recipes then made up my own. And, most amazing of all, I actually wrote down what I did in order to recreate and/or tweak in the future. See below.
I sent Marc home from Tikvah early and took over his clean-up duties in order for him to have a nap. Sadly, as I rounded the corner towards home, he and Aliza were coming towards me, both bleary-eyed. The naps for each of them were short-lived, but at that point, it was only a couple hours till our guests arrived, so we pushed through.
Here's the thing about this week: Marc's grandfather passed away (you may remember him from the post about his 100th birthday last year), and Marc had a birthday. This is, on the one hand, terrible and sad timing, and on the other hand, just another reminder about how life goes on, and cycles renew, etc etc. It didn't feel right not to commemorate both lifecycle events with our community, so we did. As I said in my invitation, it was going to be a strange kind of gathering that will hopefully not become anyone's tradition, but we had a combination birthday and memorial.
Our friends came over, we ate pumpkin pie and onion dip and other snacks, and we shared the feeling that we're really lucky to have so many wonderful people around regardless of the occasion.
A made up lokshen (noodle) kugel recipe that proves that if it has noodles, dairy, and eggs, it's probably going to be good
1 lb egg noodles, cooked
2/3 stick butter, melted
1/3 block cream cheese, melted
1 lb cottage cheese
1 cup sour cream
just under 1 cup of sugar
4 eggs
dash of vanilla (I gave up measuring at this point)
some raisins
I melted the butter and cream cheese together, which I don't recommend. Melt them separately, then mix the whole mess together. It's amazing how instantly it started to smell like kugel. Put it in a greased 9×13 pan. I baked it at 350 for a half hour covered in tinfoil and a half hour uncovered. Not sure if that made any difference. Play with the proportions. Use what's in the house. It'll be good.

Some more beers that I picked in Molloys on the Ballyogan road. They have upped their game recently and now have a very very good range of craft beers. The three below were new to me and were available for a bargain €9 price, sweet.
Drygate Galdeye IPA 50cl 5.5% abv €3.99* link
Like this. Full bodied with lots of malt. Not a huge amount of hops, so if that's your bag, look elsewhere, but it worked for me. Would I buy it ahead of my favourite American IPAs? Probably not but I'd still recommend it.
Williams Joker IPA 50cl 5.0% abv €3.99* link
For something with such a great name this IPA was a tad underwhelming, especially for something that trumpets "wickedly hoppy" on the bottle. There was nothing wrong with this ale but I found it desperately bland. Not a lot of hops, malt or much else, I'm afraid. It could be that I'm holding it to too high a standard, but that's the great thing about a blog - it's my nickel.
Drygate Bearface Lager 50cl 4.4% abv €3.99* link
Let's also review this lager based on the claims on the label. This says "heavy on the hops light on the tongue clean and crisp citrus hints lager...". Heavy on the hops - there certainly some hops, more than you get in a normal lager; Light on the tongue clean and crisp - yep, it's light , clean and quite crisp; citrus hints - yes, this too. So far so good, but how does it all work in toto?
Well enough IMHO, a fine summer drink but I'd need a little more; more alcohol, more malt, more something, to round out the flavour. If you like those light Italian lagers thsi will probably work well for you...
Just picked up the Drygate Outaspace (sic) Apple Ale 4.7% €3.99 link and a Harviestoun The Ridge Pale Ale link 5.0% €2.69
The apple ale didn't work for me (or Herself btw), it was a bit of a curates egg to be honest. The Harviestoun was OK, a bit bland but drinkable. I used to love their Schiehallion but the last time I tried it I really didn't care for it, whaddya know?
Here are some other random capsule reviews that never made a post...
Rogue Brutal IPA 66cl €7.79 5.8% link
Not bad but for nearly eight notes I'd expect to have my socks (or
something else) blown (off). Perfectly drinkable but not patch on their
Yellow Snow IPA.
Independent Pale Ale 50 cl 6.0% abv - €3.99 - link
Liked this a lot, cloudy amber in the glass, lots of tasty citrussy hops at the back of the palate and a long lingering finish. Definitely will buy this again, Their Red Ale is pretty damn good too.
Kenmare Irish Pale Ale 50 cl 5.0% abv - €3.70 - link
Disappointing - not a huge amount of flavour.

Ad of the Day: adiZero 5 Star
Thanks to a friend, we get a first look at a brand new commercial starring Eric Barry, who apparently is a football player (and kinda handsome). adiZero are these cool super light cleats. They're only 6.9 oz (lighter than anything else on the market). The ad itself reminds me of subliminal messaging or mind control in an 80s science fiction movie in way. It definitely keeps your attention.

"Practice and all is coming"
Said by Sri K Pattabi Jois -- and passed along as if a promise. A promise of what I wonder?

All is Calm, All is Bright.
Wishing you and yours a very happy holidays.
May you rejoice in the little things that make this season special. The company of family and friends (near and far). The nourishing foods that sustain us in this cold winter. The rituals that offer inspiration and heart to the darkness of the season. May you offer and receive love in abundance. Remember the loved ones that are no longer with us, and cherish the memories of years gone past.
May you know the divine and unique fire within you. Tend it well so that you might share it with the world.
Two Hands Together. Namaste.
My yoga practice invites me to tune into rhythm and shifts in my body and in the world around me. I feel a strong pull this time of year to settle inward.
The December days in Santa Cruz grow short and crisp. The clouds build and empty rain onto our dry earth.

As a student of yoga, either new or returning, it can be a bit daunting and embarrassing the first time you mistakenly breach etiquette in your favorite yoga class. There is rarely a formal introduction for new students, and sometimes we think we've got it right only to realize much later we've missed the mark a little.
My intention with this post is to share some tips on ways to respect the teacher and other students when attending a yoga class. I see it as a way to continue our mindfulness practice before, during, and after class.Read More

I'm been putting off the writing of this first post for quite some time now. Not really knowing how to start this new venture -- writing about myself and yoga for anyone to see and read.

There are a few totally free online advertising research tools that can help you in your advertising efforts. Whilst we could invest the rest of the day speaking about all of them, it would be better to limit it to three of the very best options.
To cut a lengthy story short, oh yes, Al was extremely intrigued and we invested the subsequent internet marketing online 20 minutes speaking about the types of services and goods that he and his fellow collectors would be interested in.
The best thing for you to do is choose one system and stick with it. The method ought to be the one that you think is the best and that will produce a lengthy-phrase earnings for you. If you go with that system, you're nearly assured to succeed.
A powerful mlm plan consists of a advertising system that has been evaluated and utilized by numerous people. They can usually have their personal marketing material that might be bought at a reduce price because they are in a position to order in larger portions.
You can get a degree on-line. There are numerous trade schools and schools that offer classes on-line. The purpose I chose to discover WP 1-Click Traffic Reviews online was simply because the opportunities are boundless. With most trades you are restricted in independence, earning possible, and residual earnings.
Today, you can discover numerous companies offering Search engine optimization services. With so many options, how do you select the right vendor? In this post, let me explain what do businesses really imply when they say they are providing Search engine optimization service and what you can anticipate from it.
I researched below grasp revenue trainers, entrepreneurial trainers and internet marketing trainers such as Matt Bacak, Charlie Golick, John Childers, Armand Morin, Tracy Childers, Katarina Chase, Paulie Sabol, Donna Fox, Jeff Mills, Larry Goins and numerous more. These people are my mastermind group. Verify out these names and inform me I have not been mentored by the best of the best! Do an internet lookup and see if these individuals aren't top notch.

Speaking of E! Network, they also announced today that Whitney Cummings will be coming on board to have her own weekly talk show, called Love You, Mean It With Whitney Cummings. The show will be produced by Borderline Amazing Productions, owned by Chelsea Handler. It will focus on celebrities and pop culture, with Cummings bashing them all...this should be fun because she is always hilarious when she is on Chelsea Lately and does great on the roasts.

A slide show is a presentation of a series of still images on a projection screen or electronic display device, typically in a prearranged sequence. The changes may be automatic and at regular intervals or they may be manually controlled by a presenter or the viewer. Slide shows originally consisted of a series of individual photographic slides projected onto a screen with a slide projector. When referring to the video or computer-based visual equivalent, in which the slides are not individual physical objects, the term is often written as one word, slideshow.
A slide show may be a presentation of images purely for their own visual interest or artistic value, sometimes unaccompanied by description or text, or it may be used to clarify or reinforce information, ideas, comments, solutions or suggestions which are presented verbally. Slide shows are sometimes still conducted by a presenter using an apparatus such as a carousel slide projector or an overhead projector, but now the use of an electronic video display device and a computer running presentation software is typical.
Asia (i/ˈeɪʒə/ or /ˈeɪʃə/) is the Earth's largest and most populous continent, located primarily in the eastern and northern hemispheres. Asia covers an area of 44,579,000 square kilometers, about 30% of Earth's total land area and 8.7% of the Earth's total surface area. It has historically been home to the world's first modern civilizations and has always hosted the bulk of the planet's human population. Asia is notable for not only overall large size and population, but unusually dense and large settlements as well as vast barely populated regions within the continent of 4.4 billion people. The boundaries of Asia are traditionally determined as that of Eurasia, as there is no significant geographical separation between Asia and Europe. The most commonly accepted boundaries place Asia to the east of the Suez Canal, the Ural River, and the Ural Mountains, and south of the Caucasus Mountains and the Caspian and Black Seas. It is bounded on the east by the Pacific Ocean, on the south by the Indian Ocean and on the north by the Arctic Ocean.

However, my parents are very strict and they always tell me not have sex with anyone until I'm married. I am sure this is what your parents were trying to protect you from as well as exposure to disease especially in this era of HIV and AIDS.
An unexpected pregnancy is difficult to deal with but you need to sit your parents down and explain your situation although they may be disappointed or angry; eventually they will have to support you.
you need to wait for the love to come to you and not go out and seek for it. The whole dating thing as a teenager in high school is really big. There are several high school sweathearts out in the world today.
Don't you act like you're superior — because you aren't.
I conducted an informal (and utterly unscientific) poll on the Dr.
They've built up the idea of love in their head, which means they aren't going to accept anything less than the best.
So if a late bloomer chooses to date you, you know you're special. The little things that you took for granted in old relationships will become fun again. Most of the time, no one even realizes that they're a late bloomer.

Understanding and Managing Student Hostility
Keener, Sally; Leaman, David R.
National Middle School Association (NJ3), Middle Ground v11 n1 p22-23 Aug 2007
Conscientious educators grapple with the challenge of teaching all students, including emotionally troubled, high risk students. The general expectation is that teachers should know how to reach and teach every student--even the most irritating and obstinate child. To do that, teachers must be able to identify basic psychological factors of emotionally troubled children and choose actions that help solve problems rather than make conflicts worse. Keener and Leaman discuss emotional dysregulation, a mental-health term applied to people who have trouble managing their emotions in a way that is considered "normal." Such students have difficulty exhibiting and maintaining appropriate classroom behavior, which in turn hinders their learning capacity. Often, anger is the overt expression of a deeper emotion that the student feels, but does not recognize or is not able to verbalize. It is easier for students to show anger than to express these deeper emotions, which may be hurt, fear, helplessness (inadequacy), and guilt. When something in the classroom taps into one of these four emotions, the student who lacks emotional regulation skills is likely to exhibit anger. Understanding the whys of student behavior will help teachers shed preconceived notions that the misbehaving child is purposefully acting inappropriately to irritate or humiliate the teacher and derail the classroom. Understanding causes will help educators respond with strategies that will both manage the situation and best serve the student.

The widow of a Pennsylvania city employee has filed a wrongful death suit following an incident that killed her husband while on the job. The employee fell from a warehouse ladder on wheels and hit his head, which caused his brain to swell and ultimately led to his death. The wrongful death suit was originally filed against the city for which the employee worked and the company that manufactured the ladder he was on at the time of the fall.
The widow claims the fall happened because the ladder her husband was working on was defective. After the fall, it was determined that the ladder was missing several parts that were essential to ensure it was in proper working order. She further claims that the manufacturing company was negligent in the assembly of this particular product.
After the man fell, he was rushed into surgery at an area hospital to relieve the swelling of the brain that had occurred. After placing him on life support, it was determined further surgery was necessary. He was again placed on life support after the second surgery but did not survive. A report states that the widow later dismissed the city from the suit. Representation for the defense has asked that the case be moved to federal court because the two parties now involved are located in two different states and also because the compensation requested is over the state jurisdictional limit of $50,000.
For Pennsylvania residents who feel they have a wrongful death claim, it may be helpful to research their legal options as quickly as possible in order to make sure they are protecting their rights in filing a civil lawsuit. Damages from a successfully litigated claim may be collected for medical expenses, lost wages and emotional distress. Research of state and federal laws can help in understanding the rights of anyone needing to file a personal injury claim.

The president's science czar, who once said there are too many people and advocated sterilizing people through drinking water, says at least human activity is preventing the ice age that we'd been warned about.
A tenet of global warming theology, now dubbed "climate change" to cover everything that used to be called weather, is that man is warming the Earth by manufacturing and exhaling carbon dioxide and that one of the consequences, and the theme of the science-fiction movie "Day After Tomorrow," is that said warming could trigger a new ice age.
John Holdren, who holds the title of assistant to the president for science and technology, shares this view as well.
But in a recent online question-and-answer session in which he fielded queries from the public, he let slip the seeming contradiction that without the influence of man and his industrial activities, the Earth would probably be slipping into a cyclical ice age all on its own, just like the last one.
"While the climate of the Earth has changed over millennia as a result of natural factors — principally changes in the tilt and orientation of the Earth's axis and rotation, and in the shape of its orbit around the sun — those changes occur far too gradually to have noticeable effects over a period of mere decades," Holdren said on a video obtained by MRC-TV.
"In their current phases, moreover, they would be gradually cooling the Earth — taking us to another ice age — if they weren't being more than offset by human-caused warming."
Wait, what? Human-caused warming is preventing another ice age?
Isn't this a good thing? Why would we want to stop it and return to an age of roughly 20,000 years ago when glaciers were carving out the Great Lakes and leaving Chicago under a mile-thick sheet of ice?
We admit we're a little confused here, seeing that anthropogenic global warming, according to climate zealots, is supposed to bring on an ice age that Holdren says it's preventing.
But then, climate theology is full of contradictions, and if it's too wet or too dry, too cold or too warm, it's all blamed on global warming.
Still, Holdren's statement is not likely to sit well with the high priests of climate change.
We are reminded of an article in the June 24, 1974, issue of Time entitled "Another Ice Age?" It told of how, "when meteorologists take an average of temperatures around the globe, they find that the atmosphere has been gradually cooler for the past three decades."
Time spoke then of a "global climatic upheaval" and "climatological Cassandras who are becoming increasingly apprehensive, for the weather aberrations they are studying may be the harbinger of another ice age."
A 1977 Time cover advised us on "How To Survive The Coming Ice Age."
Reputable scientists using satellites and other observations have noted another cooling period underway since 1998, as global temperatures have virtually flat-lined. Declining solar activity in the current cycle correlates with other cool periods in Earth's history. It ties in perfectly with climate history that shows the warming and cooling of Earth is a natural and cyclical process.
We tend to side with those who believe that when compared to the "natural factors" Holdren spoke of — such as the influence of that giant thermonuclear furnace called the sun that we orbit, ocean currents, etc. — the contribution of man to the mix is rather tiny.
To the extent it might in fact be extending the current interglacial period we are in, well, that's fine with us.
But that doesn't suit the fear-based Leftist Control freak Agenda. They just want to control everyone and everything, forever. It's not like they have a small ambition or any less sanctimony than that of the self-appointed saviors of mankind from itself (China excluded).
You can have a rational discussion with someone of that level of delusion, right? 🙂
Since it was changed in very Orwellian fashion to "climate change" there is some wiggle room for "deniers" right? It's not like the climate has ever changed before evil Industrial Man came along.
The Progressives have decided that if they can control our healthcare (life and death) and all aspects of our climate (survival) — doesn't matter whether it is Global Warming/Global Cooling/Change, they can control us. Control is essential for them.
After all, they are Homo Superior Liberalis and they are so far above mortal men and so vastly superior morally, ethically and intellectually that you but an ant on their boot to needs to be taught who the Lord of this Castle Earth and you are not permitted (with any relevance or consideration) to disagree with their immanence.
They are just better than you, just accept their rule. Crave subjugation!!
After all, it's…
That you could legitimately disagree with them!
"If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever."
George Orwell

Recognition and more resources for the city's firefightersCoinciding with the day of their patron saint, Sant Joan de Déu, the city's firefighters were awarded traditional genoveves, the fire engines used by the service in the 1920s. The awards were made to staff who retired in the last year, along with bronze medals for those who completed 25 years of service. The service is also due to get new vehicles and personnel.
In a formal act, the Mayor, Ada Colau, thanked the firefighters for their professionalism, commitment to the public and for being wherever they are needed. She also called for a stronger women's presence in the service, particularly at command levels.
The Mayor also recognised the collaboration of two members of external bodies in emergency planning and civil protection for incidents with multiple victims: Dr. Ervigio Corral, Head of the Department of Training and Care Quality with the SAMUR – Civil Protection, operated by Madrid City Council, and Lt. Col. Lionel Lamarque, Head of the General Office of the Paris Fire Brigade.
In 2017, the fire service acted on 18,474 occasions, 9.22% more than the previous year. Of these, 5,890 actions were rescue operations, the service being on hand with five minutes of being called out.
More resources, more safety
This year will see 79 new places opened up for firefighters, as well as an internal promotion process for a total of 94 posts, the largest of its kind in recent years.
In addition, eighteen new vehicles were recently purchased and will form part of the service fleet, along with a further eight to come later, representing an overall investment of over 5 million euros.

It is almost impossible to plan for every eventuality that may occur during the course of a construction project. Projects often run over budget or programme, delays and disruptions occur, and/or political or labour issues transpire. Sometimes these events are brought about due to the fault of a particular party, but other times it is not possible to determine fault. The reality is, no company has unlimited resources (or unlimited insurance cover for that matter) to account for all eventualities in a project.

According to the USPS, some mail pieces are effective, some are engaging, and some are even beautiful. But very few can be fairly coined as "Irresistible Mail."
Lancaster and Reading, PA (PRWEB) March 17, 2017
The Standard Group, an enterprise print management and marketing logistics company in central and eastern Pennsylvania, has been chosen as the third quarter winner of the esteemed 2017 USPS Irresistible Mail Award. The Standard Group's complex yet easily fun Holiday Inkling Mystery Game direct mail campaign earned the honor.
The USPS Irresistible Mail Award is a quarterly contest which recognizes innovative and effective mail piece designs. According to the USPS, some mail pieces are effective, some are engaging, and some are even beautiful. But very few can be fairly coined as "Irresistible Mail."
The Holiday Inkling Mystery Game campaign received enthusiastic praise for leveraging direct mail, email and social media to invite its customers, prospects and employees to play the Clue-like game online. The personalized invitation featured a curiously creative opening and 16 customized elements, including a pop-up cube with a picture of the customer's very own sales specialist dressed as a character suspect in the game. The campaign's conversion was tracked via personalized websites, or PURLs, and active players received daily email reminders to solve the mystery in order to receive prizes.
As a quarterly winner, The Standard Group's Holiday Inkling Mystery direct mailer will be showcased at the 2017 National Postal Forum in Baltimore, Md. The mailer will compete against three other quarterly winners for the chance to become Grand Champion at the National Postal Forum on May 22, 2017.
"We are so proud to have won an Irresistible Mail Award," noted Scott Vaughn, CEO of The Standard Group. He continued, "We designed our campaign to inspire our customers to execute engaging print and integrated communications. But to win a distinguished award by the USPS is a great honor and validation of our team's always expanding creative ability."
About The Standard Group:
The Standard Group is an enterprise print management and marketing logistics company. We simplify communications for our customers by streamlining their print marketing and by automating processes for print. Leveraging innovative workflow technologies, we help to facilitate online orders, improve quality, manage inventory and reduce print obsolescence.

Jared Padalecki fiancé à Genevieve Cortese 7 janvier 2010Posted by lololita in 2010, Jared Padalecki, Sam Winchester.
Tags: 2010, Genevieve Cortese, Jared Padalecki, Ruby, Sam Winchester
Jared Padalecki s'est fiancé à l'actrice Genevieve Cortese qui jouait Ruby dans la saison 4 de Supernatural.
Sorry, Sam girls.
Reps for Jared Padalecki confirm to us exclusively that the rumors are true, and he is engaged to marry former Supernatural costar Genevieve Cortese.
Padalecki plays Sam Winchester on the CW's cult-hit series about a pair of demon-hunting brothers on a destiny run; Cortese appeared on the fourth season of the series as the second embodiment of the comely but eeeevil demon Ruby. (Melrose Place star Katie Cassidy played Ruby's first iteration.)
So how did this happen, and when's the big day?
The couple, whose characters shared some superhot sex scenes and a dysfunctional but intense relationship during their time together on the show, have been dating very, very stealthily.
Padalecki's reps declined to confirm Internet reports of a late-winter wedding date.

GlobalTex, LA International Textile & Sourcing Fair.
GlobalTex, a textile and sourcing trade show, was in town last week. I was hesitant to go to the GlobalTex Trade show because 1) it was in downtown, and on a school day, 2) it was a textile and sourcing event, 3) I had no one to go with. In the end, I made transportation arrangements, took care of my classes, and felt that I should learn more about the textile industry. And New York Fashion Week trained me well to go to events alone. I overcame all of my obstacles and I am glad I made the effort to check it out. I met some amazing people and gained knowledge about a division of the fashion industry that I never knew about or took the time to research, until now.
GlobalTex, the premier West Coast textiles trade show, took over Los Angeles Convention Center for the LA International Textile & Sourcing Fair last week from March 2-4, 2010. It has been described as "the largest tradeshow in the United States for apparel textiles and technology, created to meet the high-growth demands of the global textile industry" (GlobalTex). I made a trip out to downtown Los Angeles to check out the events, seminars and exhibits featured at the GlobalTex Fair.
After picking up my press Fast Pass, I browsed exhibitor booths and observed buyer/seller interactions. The number of exhibitors that were there was surprising. There were exhibitors from Portugal, India, London, Bangladesh, New York, Vietnam, China and France, to name a few. Companies that specialized in goods such as labeling, hardware, graphics and design software, and all kinds of fabrics could be found in one area. There were quite a few service-oriented agencies including trend forecasting firms, design studios, garment manufacturing and production companies and publication businesses in another section of West Hall.
Exhibitors were divided and laid out based on common Global Styles next to corresponding trend displays, which were extremely well designed and well constructed. Global Styles are product categories that represent the complete supply chain.
Live: Alluring resources to live to the max: silks, knits, velvet/velour, lace, linen, fur, embroidery/ribbon
Dwell: Imagining the essence of home
Work: The structured downtown experience: suitings, wool, linen, knits, wovens/shirtings
Play: Comfortable materials for everyday dreams: cotton, linen, shirtings, knits, prints
Wear: Denim for every moment and every style
Create: The inspiration destination: trend/color services, fibers, art studios
Adorn: A notion of the necessary: buttons, trims, hardware
Move: Capturing the energy of the race: tech/performance fabrics, knits
Process: Technology and equipment to help develop what's next
Source: Visualize production and design possibilities from global manufacturers large and small
I was especially interested in the seminars. I made sure to attend the seminars on Spring/Summer 2011 Color and Lifestyle Trends and Women's and Men's Trend Focus for Spring/Summer 2011. The Panel Discussion about New Developments for Today's Fashions focused on innovative fabrics where I learned more about the research goes into fabric development. I hope to hear more about the growth and expansion of organic and sustainable fabrics. The Big Picture Seminar centered on the retailer & consumer relationship. There is an immediate connection to the consumer and business models are changing to meet the high demands of well-informed, educated customers. Finally, the Financing Fashion in 2010 Panel Discussion featured Kevin Sullivan, Executive Vice President of Wells Fargo Trade Capital and Ilse Metcheck, President of California Fashion Association, among many others.
I am currently typing up the notes that I took during these seminars. I cannot wait until finals are over so I can go back and analyze what it is that I learned and apply it to my own thoughts.
The next GlobalTex Show will be September 28-30, 2010. Look forward to more exhibitors, up-to-date seminars, panel discussions and a great experience at the premier West Coast textiles trade show!

Great job, Danny!

Have a great week and do well on your finals! 🙂
Again, it was great meeting you at GlobalTex!!!

As Christ followers - we're called to grow in our faith. That growth happens in a variety of ways but one of the ways that we grow is through studying God's Word.
At Celebration Community Church, we're committed to growing in our faith and we have challenged our entire church in Hays and Colby to participate in the NTin18 Challenge where we are reading through the New Testament together. We have all the resources you need to be a part. You can find the reading plan on YouVersion by searching ' Read Through The New Testament' (the one that has the fall leaves & trees) or you can get a list of the entire reading plan in our lobby.
We also want to resource you each week with tools that will you help you grow as a part of your reading plan. Alicia Hunter has done a fantastic job of gathering these resources for you to use! To download these weekly resources, click the link below.

This activity builds on the paper Of mind and media and looks at the impact of working with different presentation media.
My personal preference for taking in information is for audio or video content with a text transcript. I find the audio or video content useful to initially understand the information as I find it easier to follow and am less likely to miss key points. This may be because allot of my studying takes place in the evening after work and I can sometimes be too tired to read and take in large amounts of text. I follow this up with reading the transcript which I can annotate and review specific sections. This is because the text can clarify what I may have originally heard and I can quickly search the text for specific sections.
In the FE sector there appears to be a resistance to use technology for teaching A-Level courses. One of the reasons given for this is the fact that the students must complete a hand written exam at the end. In vocational subjects there is a wider variety of student created content including photographs and video used as evidence. A short video of a student building a wall can demonstrate the students skills and is quicker and easier for the student than writing a report on how to build a wall. The increase in budget camcorders, mobile phone technology and cheap netbooks with built in web cams have made it easier for students to create their own video content.

…people of Machakos were robbed of their basic right," said Ndeti.
"It's evident from the recent petition filed by NASA and won against the IEBC that it selectively manipulated, engineered and deliberately distorted votes and counted them in favour of our opponents in order to affect the final results hence unable to know the winner."
"We believe that justice will eventually be served and the truth set clear," Ndeti added.
She said she will be represented in court by lawyers James Orengo and Otiendo Omollo.
Orengo and Omollo were among the battery of lawyers who represented NASA in a successful petition that saw Supreme Court nullify President Uhuru Kenyatta's win last Friday.

Heavy rain kept me confined indoors for much of the day. When the weather cleared I decided to seek another geocache labeled Cook Family Farm.
There are numerous ways to approach the trail leading to this area. I decided to follow the route I suspect most others will/would use. I parked my motorcycle at the edge of the trail beside the large, and much faded, interpretive sign. Cars will not have this option. I've seen many people leave their car on the side of the highway (View Map) but the better option is to use the Central Supplies lot nearby. For a longer hike three options exist. Park at Mill pond, where there is ample room, to begin/end your hike. This will add 2 km. Park at the fire hall in Guysborough – leave your car in the back area to avoid the truck bays in front. I will detail this route in the future though I suspect the round trip hike to the field overlooking Cook's Cove is 8-9 km.
Finally, another option is to park near the upper Salmon River bridge. The length of this route is likely 6-7 km though I will get back there soon to confirm. The parking lot here is not one I've ever cared for so I usually leave my car at the edge of Jenkins Branch Road View Larger Map.
Once underway I hiked a grand total of 74 strides before encountering Murray Cook and Dusty, his border collie, and had to pause for a brief chat. I didn't mention my geocache objective fearing the chat might blossom into a full blown conversation. Mr. Cook lives beside the trail and owns the property where the cache is located. I'll mention finding it next time I bump into him.
Dusk was approaching as I paused for a few minutes to enjoy the view of Cook's Cove and Chedabucto Bay. The gps indicated I would have to leave the trail to find the cache. I'm not going to give away anymore details because I don't want to spoil things in case you decide to look for it yourself. The cache was packed tightly with more goodies than a Xmas stocking. In addition to a bag of marbles and some other toys there was a travel bug. The bug has a code which can be traced online. When I entered the code later that evening I could read all the comments associated with the bug since it was placed in England in 2009. Very cool! I wasn't sure what to do with it so I returned it to the cache but I intend to go back for it so I can place it somewhere else. It turns out logging a travel bug is a feather for my geocaching cap.
Finding the travel bug was like a bottle with a message in it.
I entered my name in the log. While checking the cache contents I noticed someone left a calling card which I thought was a good idea. I may do something similar when I find caches further afield.
A short but rewarding hike.

332 cases in this MDL, including this case, were required to
submit a complete Plaintiff Fact Sheet ("PFS") on
or before April 3, 2017. See PTO # 244 at ¶ A,
No. 2:10-md-2187, entered Mar. 3, 2017 [ECF No. 3131]. Bard
moves for sanctions against the plaintiff for failure to
comply with PTO # 244, specifically seeking dismissal of the
plaintiff's case with prejudice for failure to serve a
complete PFS. In response, plaintiff's counsel stated
they were unable to contact the plaintiff in order to
complete the PFS. However, the plaintiff ultimately filed the
PFS on June 2, 2017 [ECF No. 16] pursuant to PTO # 253, 43
days after the plaintiff filed her Response [ECF No. 14].

Legal Standard
Rule of Civil Procedure 37(b)(2) provides that a court may
issue "just orders" when a party fails to provide
or permit discovery. Fed.R.Civ.P. 37(b)(2)(A). In the MDL
world, this authority has particular significance. An MDL
judge bears the "enormous" task of
"mov[ing] thousands of cases toward resolution on the
merits while at the same time respecting their individuality,
" and to carry out this task in a smooth and efficient
manner, the judge must establish and, more importantly,
enforce rules for discovery. In re Phenylpropanolamine
Prods. Liab. Litig., 460 F.3d 1217, 1231 (9th Cir.
2006). Rule 37(b)(2) supplies the tool for this enforcement,
allowing a judge to impose sanctions when a party fails to
comply with the court's discovery orders. See
Id. at 1232 ("[A] willingness to resort to
sanctions, sua sponte if necessary, may ensure compliance
with the [discovery] management program." (internal
citation omitted)); see also Freeman v. Wyeth, 764
F.3d 806, 810 (8th Cir. 2014) ("The MDL judge must be
given 'greater discretion' to create and enforce
deadlines in order to administrate the litigation
making a finding about the sufficiency of the PFS, the
circumstances of this case lead me to impose the sanction
provided in Rule 37(b)(2)(C), which requires the disobeying
party to pay "the reasonable expenses, including
attorney's fees, caused by the [discovery] failure,
unless the failure was substantially justified or other
circumstances make an award of expenses unjust."
Fed.R.Civ.P. 37(b)(2)(C). The plaintiff has not provided
substantial justification for her failure to timely submit to
discovery. Furthermore, there are no circumstances that make
this sanction unjust. Although the discovery violation has
since been cured, it nevertheless resulted in litigation
expenses for Bard. Applying Rule 37(b)(2)(C) ensures that the
disobeying party, rather than the innocent party, bears those
bring this Motion to Dismiss, Bard expended time and money
identifying Ms. Arnold as one of the non-compliant
plaintiffs; drafting a motion to dismiss; and serving the
motion. Based on my understanding of the economic and
administrative realities of multidistrict litigation, I
conclude that a representative, though minimal, valuation of
Bard's expenses, and the proper sanction in this case, is
in the amount of $1000.
It is
therefore ORDERED that the plaintiff has 30 business days
from the entry of this Order to pay Bard $1000 as minimal
partial compensation for the reasonable expenses caused by
the plaintiffs failure to comply with
discovery.[2] In the event that the plaintiff does not
provide adequate or timely payment, the court will consider
ordering a show-cause hearing in Charleston, West Virginia,
upon motion by the defendants. It is further ORDERED that
Bard's Motion to Dismiss With Prejudice [ECF No. 12] is
DENIED. Finally, it is ORDERED that plaintiffs counsel send a

Eid Conflict in the UK (why?)
Aside Posted on Updated on
21st century and Eid Conflict
There are two major religious festivals in Islam that are celebrated among the Muslim world, following the lunar calendar, with great enthusiasm, harmony and love. Yet in the past decade, a new conflict has been rising among the Muslims living in the UK about 'moon sighting' because the sight of moon determines the exact date of celebrations of Muslims' biggest festivals EID-ul-Fiter and Eid-ul-Adha.
Eid-ul-fiter is being celebrated at 1st 'Shawal' (the ninth Islamic Lunar Calender) after the holy month of Ramadan. And Eid-ul-Adha is celebrated at the 10th of Dhu-l-Hijjah.
In the 6th century, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) had managed to celebrate these festivals by following the method of moon sighting with bear eyes. He (PBUH) declared that Eids can be celebrated if two men claim of moon sighting from a country.If there is no possibility to see moon with bear eyes due to clouds or bad weather, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) directed that Muslims should complete 30 days of the previous month before starting the new month. Thus Prophet PBUH had solved the issue.
'Modern Time'
But in 21st century, when there are huge technological, astronomical advancements and when people have realised the complex geographical structure of the earth, and also the concept of nation states is prevailed around the world, the moon sighting has created debate among Muslims.
'Predetermined Calendar'
The moon sighting conflict is also found among the Muslims of the UK. One group follows Saudi Arabia and celebrates their Eid with Saudis. However the critics who are not agree to follow Saudi Arabia says, ' the whole fiasco is caused partly by the predetermined (fixed) calendar the Saudi Taqweem Um-al-Qurah, a calendar adopted to create a predictable structure of dates linked to the birth of moon.
This makes it not only controversial but also blatantly contradictory to the commands of the Hadiths, (sayings of Prophet Muhammad). As a result the months have in the past often been initiated before the birth of the moon, let alone by the sighting of the moon. Also the geographical location of the UK demands its own moon sighting rather than to follow Saudi Arabia.'
Some scholars have tried to justify the birth of the moon method. Those who are following Saudi Arabia's stance regarding moon sighting claim that scientists from NASA photographed the moon during its birth over a hundred miles above earth. The resulting photos failed to reflect any direct light from sun. A solid object that cannot be seen, cannot be regarded as visible.
'Don't Follow us'
Yet Saudis have never asked other countries to follow them and they recommend to the Muslims all over the world to seek their own horizons for moon issues and not follow the Saudi decisions.
In Scotland, this issue has also divided of Scottish Muslims as there is no unified system for moon sighting. Eids were being celebrated on one day in Glasgow from a long time. But now there are some mosques, Especially Central Mosque that is the largest mosque of Glasgow, are following Saudi Arabia and while other mosques are following the moon sighting criteria or observatory methods.
'2006 Agreement'
In 2006, to solve this issue, there was an agreement between the two groups of Glasgow in which it was stated that Eid would be celebrated in Glasgow if the nearest Islamic country which is Morocco and the farthest country South Africa, one of them declare their Eid at a same day.
However this agreement could also not work as a new situation aroused when Morocco was one day behind from its Islamic Calendar. So the Imams of Glasgow held their meetings to create any consensus on another country but they failed.
'Glasgow Central Mosque Clarification'
Glasgow central Mosque has clarified their position on their website and described the failure of an agreement with other group saying, "The imams of Glasgow agreed that if one of two countries; Morocco and South Africa, announce sighting of the moon which coincides with sighting of the moon in Saudi Arabia, then we in Glasgow will also follow it.
On 29th Dhul Qadah (the month before Dhul Hijjah) in Glasgow, it was apparent that Morocco is one day behind in its Islamic calendar, i.e. that their date is 28th Dhul Qadah, which left only South Africa as a moon sighting reference point. The original agreement contained no allowance for only one country to be a reference point and so another country which is on 29th Dhul Qadah should have been selected.
At a second meeting on Sunday, 6th October at Glasgow Central Mosque, the ameer of the 30th September meeting therefore declared the original agreement null and void. Subsequently, the imams could not agree upon a new ameer and a difference of opinion means the pro-Makkah al-Mukaramah moon sighting followers will celebrate Eid on 15th October and the pro-Morocco moon sighting followers on 16th October.
On a separate note, if far away countries like South Africa can be accepted as a moon sighting reference point then why not Makkah/Madinah?"
'Dogmatic Approach'
Mirza Serfraz, former member of the 'moon sighting committee' of central mosque, says, "In our times, when I was the member of the moon sighting Committee, we always created consensus among the scholars and Imams (clergies) of all the mosques in Glasgow. Even we were the example for England and other countries that we solve this issue with mutual harmony and consensus.
I am no more the member of the committee so are my other friends however me and so many other people are disappointed by the current administration of all the mosques in Glasgow, as they are failed to solve this issue. It is a dogmatic approach from both sides. Islam is a flexible religion. It allows us to sit together and create a middle way when there is a deadlock."
Not only the administration of the mosques are disappointed, the Muslims of Glasgow are also showing their anger and an aggression has been created among their hearts especially the young generation which is already getting away from their religion.
It is pathetic that if Muslims no matter from Glasgow however around the world cannot solve such issue which is solvable. The dogmatic approach from each side in Glasgow is being criticised by general Muslim population.

Toys that get kids killed
If you do not know me well, let me tell you that I am not generally one to fall for the typical cop tendency to cover up and stick together. Yes, police do tough jobs under difficult circumstances, but they also have tremendous authority. Police officers have a gun on the hip to back up what they say.
The state police and FBI will investigate what happened, and it is very possible that this was a horrible mistake. Parents need to know that the new trend for toys is realistic looking handguns. In bad light, one of these toys flashes through the darkness, and the outcome is tragedy. Maybe these toys are not a very good idea.
Raising children is hard enough already, and I hate to bring up one more thing. This is rather important. One would hope that manufacturers would stop giving youngsters a toy that puts a target on their backs. The next thing will be a law, and isn't that the last thing we need?
Throw those damn things in the trash.

An interview with Next Billion.
NB Talk about the Good Capital Project: What's it about and why are you launching it now?
Kevin Jones: To understand why the market is ready for the Good Capital Project now, you have to go back to why SOCAP then. In 2008, SOCAP was built to solve a problem. It was a problem that I had and that all the other early pioneers had, as we tried to launch the first venture capital funds to invest in social enterprise.
Everybody hated our core concept. The idea that you could invest with the goals of philanthropy, but with a rigorous for-profit, early stage, venture fund to help promising social enterprises expand was resisted to the point that three different billionaires ordered us out of their offices; our idea was one they did not want to be around and, they said, it even made them hurt physically.
I'd been successful in business several times before, and in my earlier life, I would have changed my product to one that they liked, that didn't make them hurt when they thought about it. But I decided I wanted to build a business right there, in the space they said could not exist, between giving and investing. SOCAP was built to overcome two pocket thinking; that I invest and only think about how much money I am putting in my pocket. And then I put some in another pocket and do good with it. We wanted those pockets to open up to each other, to bring in investment into a space that at the time only had philanthropy or aid.
Our hypothesis was, they can't be around the idea of a market that values meaning, the stuff that matters, when they are thinking abstractly about their asset classes and returns. When they see the companies that we and others want to invest in, they will get out of their heads and want to get involved in the sector. To sell our product, we had to build a market, they had to think differently to buy anything in that market, spit on Milton Friedman's grave and say fiduciary responsibility is not my only responsibility (this was before B-Corp – they are solving that on a company by company basis, allowing you to work for stakeholders not just shareholders). To be an impact investor you say it's ok to invest in all of us and for myself at the same time, that is what impact investing is.
And to get SOCAP off the ground we had to have people realize they needed a market. What they had was a series of closed door summits, with the right people in the room and nothing moving then or afterward.
We were disrupting the dominant paradigm that existed around convening; they only wanted the right people in the room. We wanted the barbarian to meet the byzantine and find a way to become unlikely allies. And we thought that the vitality of that market, like an intersection of caravans at an oasis, would be appealing and augment the summit model. We would find a place between the silos and their tents where they met valuable strangers who became unlikely allies. We sold ourselves as the space between where you might find unlikely allies, and hear voices you sometimes don't hear in your typical meetings, hear new ideas, see experiments.
That part of the plan worked nearly flawlessly; by emphasizing bringing in new groups who needed to be taken seriously. From indigenous entrepreneurs and investors, to African American initiatives focused on using entrepreneurship and innovative financial products to begin erasing the racial wealth gap, to, now, development agencies more than before. We keep SOCAP on the edge of the newest innovations by finding the new valuable strangers who could become unlikely allies.
That has made SOCAP the place where people come to get partnerships done and deals done or advanced, because all the people you need to see are going to be here.
And I think our abundant kind of vibe that people find attractive, the energy at SOCAP, comes from us keeping the heart at the table, continually asking why it is we are doing it, and whether or when we are sacrificing something more than we are comfortable with to make the kinds of returns we came in expecting. We are always bringing in a new group of outsiders into the room with the powerful and trying to build relationships there.
But sometimes you need a bit more order, a way to fit all the pieces together, more like a supply chain or a collaborative system for the capital providers to work together than a Mideast bazaar like SOCAP. That's what the Good Capital Project is designed to do. Starting with a design session on June 19th, Juneteenth, in New York at a really cool place to do interactive sessions, we will launch a two-year exploration of all the sources of capital that want to connect to impact investing.
We want to be at the intersections to help the traffic flow between the various silos that want to connect to impact investing, to fit it in to what they are already doing. For example, last month we attended a convening in Armenia with the UNDP, US AID, the IFC and the Finnish and Malaysian sovereign funds, among others. On the other side were some impact investors trying to explain a problem to all these development players who want to launch regional impact funds. One of those investors and I have written a piece to explain to the development organizations that they need to figure out when to use subsidies, and when not to, if they want to accepted as good partners. That dialogue is ongoing; they will be in the room where it happens June 19th.
They need to learn to syndicate and apply a certain kind of capital at the right time for all the other players in the ecosystem. They have not had to think of their impact or the unintended consequences of their capital before. It's news to some groups how a subsidy might distort a market when the market, for example, cook stoves in India, is one where the market has the answer after subsidies earlier in its evolution established the playing field the market arose to fulfill. Now a new major aid organization has decided to flood the Indian market with a stove it likes, with heavy subsidies. That could destroy a fragile market where risk taking impact investors have taken significant bets.
In similar fashion, a blog series across the taxonomy of funders is in the works. For example, family offices meet impact, CDFI's meet impact, angel networks meet impact, faith based investors meet impact, anchor institutions meet impact, sovereign funds meet impact, etc… That should help us flesh out the taxonomy, blockages to overcome and bridges needed at each intersection of something meets impact.
People from international development organizations that put out billions in aid will be coming June 19th, meeting with impact investors, but the huge story, of course is that we are bringing in Wall Street. Demand is driving Wall Street to want to figure out how plug in to impact, which requires using syndication to reach scale.
But this big intersection, Wall Street meets impact, is not happening in a vacuum, there will be other stakeholders there, too, development, family offices, local investors, investors from marginalized communities in the United States each of whom needs to be able to plug in to meet the demand coming from the customers of the big Wall Street banks and financial houses.
What needs to happen of course, is that the impact market needs to move into the phase of coordination; the period in a markets maturity when exchanges can start to thrive. This the era in our industrial history when railroads standardized their gauges so that commerce and people could flow. The coordination stage of a market is when you get past one off cooperation partnerships and initiatives and start linking systems.
The Good Capital Project hopes to provide content sessions with other global events in our orbit, Sankalp Africa, Sankalp India and Sankalp Indonesia (we've shared content for years and have worked well together). We hope to pop up next year during the Skoll Forum; inside the gate if we make the cut, or at Marmalade if we don't, so that this dialogue around how to make all the different capital players link up can be carried forward, at other convenings and online.
We think this is the dialogue to be having now. We know what to do, it's time to figure out how to do it together, to get over ourselves and get it done. We will be developing an online community and content platform as demand and sponsorship intersect.
Right now, I view the funders and potential funders in each sector as often several standalone hydraulic systems. International development organizations don't syndicate, don't link the plumbing up, of their hydraulic capital flows, with impact investors. We want that plumbing, knowing when to apply which kind of capital now, to be there without having to do a one-off negotiation and write a paper and get people discussing the idea of development agencies doing a market impact report before they deploying a subsidy. Once the dialogue is over, the subsidy question becomes more like a subsidy valve a development organization would know when to turn on and when to shut off. Sometimes subsidies are great. At other points in a market's development, subsidies distort the market and put more risk on high risk early stage institutional impact capital than they can bear.
We will replicate that kind of engagement at every intersection. Markets form in conversation, as you learn to trust an unlikely ally and rely on each other. SOCAP provides the basis for that. The Good Capital Project is bringing those market forming conversations to the intersections where each flavor or language of capital meets impact. The development organizations, the IDO's in Central Asia are really innovative and that region is allowed by the system to be innovative. But they have not had to think as if they were a member of a syndicate, and manage their impact on their partners.
Other sectors have their own issues; Juliana Balandina- Jaquier has just finished a really useful step-by-step handbook for talking to family offices about impact investing, with a lot of understanding about their issues integrating with impact investing. We are focusing on intersections like those, and finding what translations, or handbooks, or new protocols can accelerate the flow of capital across that particular divide; what kind of bridge is needed. We are looking at the racial wealth gap and investment initiatives addressing that, among others.
So that's why SOCAP then and why the Good Capital Project now. This is a natural phase of a market's evolution; into coordinating, setting up plumbing, replicating what works, with culturally literate local adaption as a way to scale.
