Handbook on Women in Business and Management
I just received a copy, hot off the presses, of the book that Diana Bilimoria graciously invited me to co-edit with her two years ago. It is even listed on Amazon! With a wonderful jacket quote on the back from Jean Bartunek, a former president of the Academy of Management and one of the scholars whom I most admire in my field. I'm floating around on air...
Book Description
`This very impressive Handbook takes established research topics about women in management and treats them in fresh and novel ways. The chapters are intellectually interesting, sound, and provocative, and meet the editors' aspiration to stimulate high quality research on women's experiences in work organizations. I recommend it highly.'
- Jean M. Bartunek, Boston College, US
This comprehensive Handbook presents specially commissioned original essays on the societal roles and contexts facing women in business and management, the specific career and work-life issues of women in these fields, organizational processes affecting women, and the role of women as leaders in business and management. The essays shed light on the extant structures and practices of society and organizations that constrain or facilitate women's representation, treatment, quality of life, and success.
Despite decades of ongoing inquiry and increasing interest, research on women in business and management remains a specialized field without mainstream acceptance within business and management disciplines. The Handbook presents the current state of knowledge about women in business and management and specifies the directions for future research likely to be most constructive for advancing the representation, treatment, quality of life, and success of women who work in these fields. It provides the foundations for improved societal and organizational structures, policies, and relational practices affecting all in business and management. Thus, by enhancing the knowledge base that improves the work and life situations of women, it suggests ways to elevate the societal and organizational systems for all.
The Handbook will be an essential reference source for recent advances in research and theory, informing both scholars of organization studies, gender, diversity, and feminism; human resource specialists; and educators of and consultants to business organizations and management.
Contributors include: N.J. Adler, J. Beatty, D. Bilimoria, K. Bourne, R.J. Burke, M. Calas, C.L. Cooper, M.J. Davisdon, L.M. Dunn-Jensen, A.H. Eagly, C. Gattrell, L. Godwin, L.M. Graves, D.T. Hall, M.M. Hopkins, M.C. Johannesen-Schmidt, A.M. Konrad, M. Las Heras, D.A. O'Neil, S.K. Piderit, G.N. Powell, L.K. Stroh, V. Singh, L. Smircich, S. Terjesen, S. Vinnicombe, H.M. Woolnough, D.D. Zelechowski
I'm also having my first experience with the business of book publishing. I'm wondering who will ever purchase copies, given the astronomical price! (I'll be putting in an order in about 2 weeks for a big batch with my 50% editorial discount, so please let me know if you'd like me to reserve a copy for you.)

doodling, knitting, and generating creative ideas
Business Mom made a very interesting point in one of her recent columns (she has a blog, too) about the male culture of business. Why are there so many self-help workshops and advice books out there focused on helping women fit into the "man's world" of business?
Pragmatically, of course, it's because men do still dominate most business meetings in both numbers and airtime, and definitely make up the large majority of corporate board members.
Yet the tempered radical in me protests, and wonders whether I wouldn't be better off making small talk before or after a meeting about my knitting, rather than about the latest sports scores or even about my students' latest antics and accomplishments. After all, no matter how hard I've tried, I'm liable to confuse a football team with a basketball team if they're from out of town, and I have no memory for scores or great plays or bad calls by referees.
Business Mom makes the point that men doodle and play with their Blackberries and cellphones during meetings -- why can't I knit? It really does help me listen (really listen to others, rather than focusing on my next response in an argument) and develop creative ideas. I can still make eye contact with others, interject my ideas when appropriate, and even stop to jot down notes. And yet, when I have occasionally done this at work, I have been subtly discouraged.
Perhaps in the future there will be classes for men about how to make small talk with women about their knitting or cross-stitch or quilting projects, just as women are now tutored to speak footballese and encouraged to play golf. That would be a whole new world of work.

metaphors for social change
Remember back in May, when I wrote about the metaphors of motivating change? We need a whole new set of metaphors for understanding how social change occurs, as well -- metaphors that acknowledge the relational dynamics that accelerate or dampen social change processes.
Political social change seems to be occurring in the United States. The timeframe for that change ranges from the year (2006) to the generation (1980 to 2006), at least according to Joe Kein at Time Magazine. (Thanks to John Ettorre for his blog post bringing this article to our attention.) Klein's article is headlining 2006 as "the year the Democrats punched back", suggesting that political social change occurs in part as a battle of the fists (or at least of the political ad blows and counterblows). Klein's article ends with a very different metaphor, though -- the metaphor of tides cresting and receding:
"2006 may be remembered as the year that the Reagan Revolution finally crested and began to recede."
I recognize that some may consider 26 years more than a generation, and yet Strauss and Howe's 1992 book Generations called 1982-2003 the Millenial Generation. In political writing, this notion that great waves of right-oriented and left-oriented governing alternate is a familiar one, suggesting that perhaps no social change actually occurs; instead we are just watching a pendulum swinging back and forth very slowly... or, we are the grains of sand on the beach, washed first by one wave, and then by another.
And yet our individual experiences suggest that social change does occur, within one lifetime or less, and that relational dynamics are an important part of how social change occurs.
A generation from now, will history acknowledge that the BAWB conference in NEO two weeks ago was actually the tipping point for how business and academia began to act differently together, to make themselves agents of world benefit? Nadya Zhexembayeva is convinced that it was a tipping point, October 25, 2006. She has been watching for this tipping point for a long time -- she heads up the World Inquiry, an action research project of the Center for Business as an Agent of World Benefit (BAWB). She also served as the host of the Virtual Conference that extended the BAWB Global Forum to additional 500+ participants from all over the world.
Be sure to read what Nadya Zhexembayeva wrote for GreenBiz about BAWB and the tipping point. Read it not just to explore some of the metaphors for social change she evokes -- but also to become your part of the social change that is happening among us and around the world.

I'll be heading to Atlanta soon for the Academy of Management
I'll be facilitating a roundtable in the ODC doctoral consortium on Saturday, and participating in the ODC board meeting on Sunday afternoon.
On Monday, I'll be giving a presentation with my colleague Latha Poonamallee as part of this symposium:
Program Session #: 676 | Submission: 12162 | Sponsor(s): (GDO, CAR)
Scheduled: Monday, Aug 14 2006 12:20PM – 2:10PM at Hyatt Regency Atlanta in Inman
She's Having a Baby!?: The Transition to Motherhood and Working Women's Identity and Careers
Chair: Judith A. Clair; Boston College
Chair: Danna Greenberg; Babson College
Discussant: Laura Morgan Roberts; Harvard U.
In this symposium, we explore how women make decisions about, move through, and negotiate identity and career as they consider getting pregnant, and progress through their pregnancy and childbirth at work. While as scholars we theorize about the implications of having children for women's careers, we less commonly discuss or study this "middle period" when women move from "working woman" to "working mother." We view this period as consequential for women in that it sets the course for the future relationship women have with their careers and organizations. In addition, we find the identity and career issues as women make decisions about and move through pregnancy (and their bodies literally "blossom" before their own and co-workers' eyes) to be rich with possibility for theory building. In addition to building scholarly knowledge, further insight into this period of working mothers' lives holds practical implications for women and policy makers as women's decisions and experiences have implications for their work identities and careers. Our goal during this symposium is to spark interest among scholars to further explore the dynamics of pregnancy decision making and the movement through pregnancy and childbirth in the workplace and its implications for working women.

Women Above the Glass Ceiling: Collusion, Voice and Exit
Chair: Susan Mary Vinnicombe; Cranfield U.; [E-Mail This Contact]
Hewlett and Luce's (2005) recent study suggests that women are leaving the corporate world (off-ramping is the term they use) in greater numbers than men. An alarming finding from their study is that when these women want to get back into the corporate world (on-ramp), zero per cent of those who were previously in the business sector want to return to their former employers. Such a finding indicates that the women were not happy with their experiences in their organisations. The kaleidoscope career model (Mainiero & Sullivan, 2005) suggests that women face three career issues (authenticity, balance and challenge) that they then shift for a best fit at different career stages and thereby create different patterns, much like the kaleidoscope does. In mid career women are coping with family/relational demands and hence issues of balance move into the forefront. They continue to seek challenge and authenticity, but those issues make way for the need to achieve balance. In late career, women have resolved the balance issues to a large extent and the questions of authenticity take center. They continue to wish for challenge and want balance, but authenticity moves to the forefront. Researchers seem to agree that the mid life stage involves a re-evaluation and rebalancing of both personal and professional aspects of a person's life. However, there are very few studies that have attempted to understand the nature and components of this rebalancing act.

why reducing unsustainability fails
From John Ehrenfeld, a just-released Change This manifesto:
Beyond Sustainability: Why an All-Consuming Campaign to Reduce Unsustainability Fails
After a quick skim, this looks like a must-read. What do you think?

what is an organization?
David Pollard says it is "an instrument for doing something a particular way."
This is a great definition, very similar to the one I use in my introductory classes in organizational behavior. (I talk about an organization as a group of three or more people, working toward a common goal or set of goals, in a consciously coordinated way, on a more-or-less continuous basis.)
Pollard goes on with a provocative argument:
Organization does not mean order or structure. When we say "let's get organized" we are not saying let's decide how to structure ourselves, we're saying let's make ourselves an instrument to do something specific. The fact that the first step in so many new organizations is establishing a hierarchy shows how well we've been brainwashed to believe that 'anarchic' self-management is impossible, when it is the natural order. This is perhaps why Open Space is so subversive and unaccepted in the political and corporate mainstream -- if frees people from the false belief that they need someone else to impose order and structure on them in order to be an effective organism, an instrument of action.
What do you think? Can groups of people organize themselves organically, without hierarchy? Do you question that assumption that self-management is impossible in larger groups, or do you accept it unthinkingly? Do you believe that you can be effective outside of an authority structure imposed by others?

book in development: impacts of gender equity
I just read my copy of the newsletter for the Gender, Diversity, and Organizations division of the Academy of Management, which mentioned a very interesting new book which is in the development stages. It's called Living Life: Stories of Women, Men and Changing Roles in the 20th Century. The premise of the project is that stories about the progress of gender equity need to be told so that we can both cherish and protect these gains.
Click through on the book title to read more! There is an online survey that you can complete to share your stories with the project directors.

what needs to be managed during a change process?
In response to my entry from last week about guiding change to a destination that is still below the horizon, Bill Harris (who blogs at Making Sense with Facilitated Systems) wrote me a comment with a link to an article by Dale Emery entitled "Managing yourself during change" (PDF).
The article by Dale Emery explains how we experience change, in a way that may allow managers to empathize with what happens to employees' lives when a dramatic change (such as a plant shutdown) is proposed. Emery draws on the Satir Change Model, which describes stages of behavior after a change is announced. The first stage in Satir's model, post-announcement, is chaos. This is why managers dislike change so much -- because it provokes strong emotional reactions in employees, and those emotions are often framed as "messes" that the managers have to "clean up".
But don't clean up too fast! Click to read more...

guiding change to a destination still below the horizon
As I promised before my hiatus, I'm returning to ideas about the roles of managers and employees in organizational change processes. I want to share a reference that I came across during a presentation by two of our doctoral students on Monday, based on their qualifying research on the nature of mindfulness. They mentioned Linda Ackerman and Dean Anderson, which lead me to Scholar.Google.Com and to this article, which asserts that the type of managerial activity required depends on the type of change envisioned. Some change is developmental, and some is transitional, and perhaps for those types of change the old wisdom about minimizing resistance might be useful, but for the third type of change, the transformational type, different challenges must be addressed.
Click through to read more about what they mean, why I concur, and how I think they may be overstating the power of leadership in transformational change...

the metaphors of motivating change
"buy in", "get on board", "commit"
"selling", "signing up", "winning over"
Such interesting metaphors we use to describe what we want employees to do in response to a proposed organizational change, and what we as change agents need to do to get them to cooperate.
Yet one metaphor is even more pernicious than all the others, and potentially, much more damaging. "Overcoming resistance".
I'm going to leave you with that teaser, and come back to these ideas in about 10 days, when my grading is finished, my summer research projects are out for review in the human subjects committee or the grant approval committees, and I have had some time to recharge by visiting my sister, brother-in-law, and niece. The quiet phase should end around May 15.
In the meantime, please explore my other blog entries, and leave me a comment or two if you'd like? I will look forward to hearing from you.
Here are some old, but valuable, thoughts on organizational change and transformative cooperation:

- Voluntary Collaborations on the Web
- Speaking of Glacial Change
- What is it about College that Helps Students Learn?
- Is McDonalds socially responsible, or is it marketing greenwash?

It's a good sign when three posts emerge in the same morning of blog reading, all ready to be packaged up in a theme.

what fathers want: how workplaces can support families
I was inspecting my stats recently, and was intrigued to discover that someone had found their way to my blog after googling "fathers unsupportive breastfeeding". I googled the same phrase and discovered that the link to my dads can bond easily with breastfed babies, even if they are not using any bottles.
Then I looked down the list, and found some other really interesting links, including this one, to the results of a survey of over 1200 working fathers by the Equal Opportunity Trust in New Zealand. It includes a list of suggested work-life initiatives for employers to consider, tips on how to research what fathers in your workplace would find most beneficial, and even a sample survey and a checklist to use if focus groups or informal conversations are a better approach in your workplace than a formal survey.
This is a type of work that I would really enjoy -- working with employers to make their workplaces more flexible and more supportive of employees who wish to make space in their lives for important unpaid roles, alongside their fulfillment of professional responsibilities. I am planning to develop an open enrollment workshop through our executive education program at Dively, sometime in 2007, on the topic of retaining employees who value both family time and workplace productivity. If anyone has suggestions about local employers who are doing a good job at this, please let me know -- I would love to be able to benchmark some local best practices.
I also want to thank the dads and granddads who attended our latest NEOBEAN organizing dinner on Saturday night. Their quiet support for breastfeeding mothers, and their willingness to wrangle the kids while the moms talked about what needs to be done to get NEOBEAN off the ground as a nonprofit, was most appreciated. We will have a paypal button on the NEOBEAN website soon, and we hope to complete the process of registering as a 501c3 so that we can begin accepting proper charitable donations within the next month!

framing your inquiry
My colleague Ron Fry has a new book out, coauthored with Frank Barrett (an alumnus of our Ph.D. program, now on the faculty at the Monterrey Naval Academy).
The press release aboout the book, in the link above, describes the approach that Ron Fry takes to combining problem solving and appreciative inquiry: "I don't try to avoid ever focusing on the problem, deficit or the negative. I just try to live more often in conversations that are unbalanced in terms of having more attention, questions and imagery that relate to possibilities, hope and the positive."
I think that is really a key element of understanding the role of positively framing an organizational change intervention. A positive frame is chosen because of the momentum and energy it can unleash, not because there is any desire to avoid a problem-focused frame.
This is a subtlety that I am still learning, in the context of my work with NEOBEAN, as is evidenced in my earlier entry about when to trust a consultant.

responsible capitalism: employee-owned companies, and how they support one another
Did you know that Ohio is home to a Center for Employee Owned Corporations? Are you planning to attend their conference today in Akron?
Companies with ESOPs suggest a more socially responsible variant of capitalism, where the interests of the stockholders and of the employees need not be divergent. When employees have a stake in the corporation, the long-term interests of investing in a particular region can be taken more seriously when members are elected to the board of directors, and when decisions about relocating facilities or changing working conditions for employees are considered.

can you ever trust a consultant?
I came across a great excerpt from a speech by Bob Sutton recently, at the AlwaysOn Network: it's called "Use Common Sense, Not Crystal Balls". In it Professor Sutton (a U of M alum like me) provides four questions for managers to ask themselves when thinking about whether to take the advice offered by consultants. First, is the practice that is being advised time-tested? Second, who benefits? Third, what are the risks? And fourth, what evidence is there that this practice is connected with effectiveness?
I would argue that a consultant who can engage in an honest dialogue with a manager about these questions is a consultant who can be trusted. The rest --

inspiring meeting yesterday -- building a regional coalition
My NEOBEAN colleagues and I met with Eric Brewer, the mayor of East Cleveland, and he was very supportive and willing to work with us in getting breastfeeding education materials to his city's residents. He and Norm Roulet (who is working on lead abatement in the region) further challenged us to draw together a team of people to get involved in a health fair in the city next month, and to figure out how to reach out to and offer prenatal care, easier access to WIC and other government services, and make sure that all pregnant women are educated about the potential dangers of lead contamination in their living quarters.
I hope that we can draw in some student volunteers to help us with the outreach and health promotion aspects of the initiative. It would be great if we could find a way to offer health promotion curriculum in middle schools and high schools.

new ways of organizing work time
When I called for new ways of organizing careers in my previous post, I neglected to mention the desirability of new ways of organizing the work day. Both will help to address the underrepresentation of women in the upper echelons of business. For one interesting idea about reorganizing the work day, check out a recent article in Time magazine that talks about Best Buy's ROWE (results-oriented work environment) which sounds like the next generation of flextime. Yesterday on Talk of the Nation, Phyllis Moen (a prominent scholar of work-family issues) and two other guests discussed why so few workers are eligible for flextime and Best Buy seems to be finding a way of addressing those inequities -- their ROWE initiative is implemented for a whole work group at a time.
Aaron Shaffer commented on my previous post on the glass ceiling, asking how much of a change I would find reasonable, given the differences in testosterone levels between men and women (he linked to this 2000 article from the NYT magazine by Andrew Sullivan). I think the argument here is that men (with higher levels of testosterone) are more likely to aspire to win at all costs, and thus may have higher ambitions or more persistence in pursuing their ambitions, even in the face of competition from others who also aspire to sit in the CEO chair. However, there are specific elements of Sullivan's article that might contradict that argument -- in particular, his finding that blue-collar workers have higher levels of testosterone than white-collar workers. He offers no specific evidence that testosterone levels of successful venture capitalists or business leaders in other sectors are higher than they are for school principals or directors of nursing. In an unpublished draft of a chapter by Linda Dunn-Jensen and Linda Stroh, they present evidence from several studies that women's levels of ambition are as high as men's at the beginning of their careers, but may lessen over time. This is much more consistent with the notion of ambition being constrained by socialization as it is by the notion that ambition might be determined by hormones. Testosterone may be an influence, but I would expect it to be a small one.
What is most important to me is to see women rise to the top of the corporate world in sufficient numbers that they will be treated as individuals, and not as tokens. Here's a good summary of Rosabeth Moss Kanter's ideas about tokenism. With women representing less than 8% of top managers in the US workforce (as documented by the Economist article which prompted my comments yesterday), we are definitely still in the token role. We may not need that number to rise all the way to 46%, to be exactly proportional to women's representation in the overall workforce, but I think it's reasonable to expect it to rise to 30% or more.

Well, well, and after having written that I'm not going to write, I was subjected to the most hilarious and oddly touching thing I've ever experienced in LOTRO, or any other game for that matter.
Poor Aegthil was deluged with unwanted letters, collected from the 5th Anniversary celebration, and each unwanted letter came with a wonderful piece of spam. Aegthil is going to have the finest head of hair, the most rippling muscles, the most chest hair, the fattest bank balance, the least body odour, the cleanest feet, the finest fashions, the most delectable food, and, above all, the largest and most impressive penis you have ever seen. Oh dear.
At first I wondered how the game generated these spam emails. They were long, very clever, and very funny. But then some of them were clearly targeted at Aegthil. Not generic at all. So I began to wonder about my initial wonderings. Were they really game mails? What on earth was going on? Well, I didn't know, so I just deleted them all and carried on, making a mental note to ask the LMB how you got such mails generated and sent to someone. Cool feature in the game, huh?
It wasn't until some time later that I realised each and every one of them had been hand-written and sent to Aegthil, to keep me entertained. Beorbrand had orchestrated the whole thing, and a lot of people responded. I'm not sure how many mails Aegthil got, but it was a LOT. And they were very funny indeed.
So, as I said, I felt oddly touched by this. All that time people put in to do something nice for Aegthil and for me. Although possibly 'nice' is not quite the correct word. Goodness, I'm tearing up.
Well, not really, but I could be if I wasn't a manly manly guy. You know, with rippling muscles and thick chest hair, etc.
Now, where did I put those enlargement offers...?

My Review:
Are you seeking a historical romance novel to send you back in time? A book to make you sigh and smile? The Sound of Diamonds is the book for you! This novel is a beautiful debut from the lovely Rachelle Rea and it is sure to please historical fans.
I was sucked into the story after only a few pages. The character voices of Dirk and Gwyneth are distinct and carry you through the story well. There were a couple times I wasn't paying one-hundred percent attention and might have gotten a little confused but...it was my own fault. ;-) Honestly, I loved the artistry of words in this novel. The reading experience was completely captivating! I definitely would read this one again. And now I eagerly await the release of a sequel...
One of my favorite things about this novel was the theme of hope and the message that God wants more than your actions, He wants your heart. This really impacted me most out of the whole story, primarily because I had just been marveling at that myself. So, with that all said, I can easily recommend this book to anyone into historical, young adult, and romance genres. This debut is simply amazing so go check it out!
I received a free ebook copy of this book from the author in return for an honest review of my opinions, which I have done. Thank you, Rachelle!
Back Cover:
Her only chance of getting home is trusting the man she hates.
With the protestant Elizabeth on the throne of England and her family in shambles, Catholic maiden Gwyneth seeks refuge in the Low Countries of Holland, hoping to soothe her aching soul. But when the Iconoclastic Fury descends and bloodshed overtakes her haven, she has no choice but to trust the rogue who arrives, promising to see her safely home to her uncle's castle. She doesn't dare to trust him...and yet doesn't dare to refuse her one chance to preserve her own life and those of the nuns she rescues from the burning convent.
Dirk Godfrey is determined to restore his honor at whatever cost. Running from a tortured past, Dirk knows he has only one chance at redemption, and it lies with the lovely Gwyneth, who hates him for the crimes she thinks he committed. He must see her to safety, prove to the world that he is innocent, prove that her poor eyesight is not the only thing that has blinded her but what is he to do when those goals clash?
The home Gwyneth knew is not what she once thought. When a dark secret and a twisted plot for power collide in a castle masquerading as a haven, the saint and the sinner must either dare to hold to hope...or be overcome.

Ke$ha's Dental Care Has Improved Considerably
Check out "C'mon."
If you know one fact about vomit-half-rapper and secretly gifted singer-songwriter Ke$ha, it is that she brushes her teeth with Jack Daniels. So the following line in "C'mon," the latest single off the upcoming Warrior, comes as a bit of a surprise: "Touch me and gimme that rush / better pack a tooth brush, gonna pull an all-nighter." That is just responsible dental hygiene right there. Ke$ha is all grown up and worrying about cavities now! (You'd have to, probably, if wine coolers are in the rotation. But still.). 2012 is a strange and wondrous time.
While we're at it, here's a remix of "Die Young" with Juicy J, Wiz Khalifa, and Becky G. (The original is still better? But maybe you, like Vulture, have an alarming number of playcounts on the original.)

Advocacy is a Part of the Alliance's Shared Values…
"The Alliance values collaboration with industry, policymakers, and non-profit community service organizations: Whenever possible, the Alliance seeks to work with organizations representing the financial services industry, state and federal policymakers, and non-profit community service organizations to achieve common goals."
But "All Politics Are Local" So We Need You and Your Members To Get Involved
Grassroots advocacy requires a strong commitment from your members and chapter leaders. Members of Congress or State Legislators respond best to their local constituents. So, while the Alliance can do a great job of stressing the important role that fraternals play in providing financial stability for families, we also need the support from individual members.
Grassroots advocacy is a form of advocacy which originates among individuals concerned about a specific issue. The goal of effective grassroots advocacy is to interact with elected officials and their staff members in the process of attempting to educate and inform elected officials about as cause.
Interaction between any elected official and his or her constituents is a crucial part of the democratic process. Hearing the needs and concerns of their constituents is of the utmost importance to elected officials, as constituents are the ones who decide whether or not they remain in office. Email is usually the easiest and fastest way to communicate with your elected official, but you can also communicate by sending letters in the mail, or calling their office.
There are several ways to effectively communicate with your member of Congress. The easiest is by e-mail.
If you're not sure who represents your Congressional District, please click here to search by zip code.
Click Here to Contact Your U.S. Senator
Contact Your U.S. Representative – There is no central listing of member office public e-mail addresses. Each member of Congress establishes their office's policy related to the processing and management of e-mail. Generally, if a member has a public e-mail address, it can be found on the member's website. The office may list a public e-mail address or provide a form directly on the member's website. The U.S. House of Representatives does not provide a listing of public e-mail addresses for the elected Representatives.
House Concurrent Resolution 10 (H. Con. Res. 10) and Senate Concurrent Resolution 7 (S. Con. Res. 7) are the Alliance-sponsored federal resolutions that reaffirm the value of the fraternal business model. Currently, H. Con. Res. 10 has a total of 69 co-sponsors, and S. Con. Res. 7 has a total of 15 cosponsors. The Alliance goal for 2018 is 100 co-sponsors. In the coming weeks the Alliance will start providing information to all member-societies about the role they and their members can play in our ongoing campaign for 2018.

As Turkey moves closer to the EU, the Post Office in Britain has deemed that the nation lies entirely beyond Europe. Last month, at the start of the school summer holidays, the Post Office moved the boundaries used for its travel insurance policies to exclude Turkey from European cover. Even the European part of Turkey, including Istanbul, is deemed as lying outside the Continent for insurance purposes.Source: Independent
A British woman who bought a policy for her package holiday in the resort of Kusadasi discovered she was not covered only when she was hospitalised. Rebecca Thomas, 22, a retail manager from Solihull, was admitted for treatment for a stomach complaint. But when she contacted the travel insurers, she was told her she was not covered. Her father, David Thomas, is paying the bill – currently standing at £1,400 – by credit card. Yesterday he said: "The Post Office are perfectly entitled to change their geographical coverage, but Turkey is such a big destination that they should make it absolutely clear on the website."
For travellers buying online, such as Rebecca Thomas, the change is revealed only by clicking on a small question mark icon on the Post Office's web page offering travel insurance quotes.
Last year, 2.7 million British citizens visited Turkey. Travel insurance policies covering European holidays have traditionally included it, as well as other nations bordering the Mediterranean. The Post Office followed this practice until 15 July, when it decided to exclude Turkey – together with Egypt. Travellers to these two countries who choose Post Office travel insurance must buy a "Rest of the World" policy, priced at £37 for a week – more than twice as much as the price for Europe.
This blog is a campaign against Turkish accession to the European Union. Through original articles, and links to relevant sources of information, it aims to demonstrate why Turkish EU membership would be a disaster for Europe and for Western civilisation.

Post Office Correctly Reclassifies Turkey as Not Part of Europe

Genre: Rhythm
Publisher: SCEA
Developer: SCEJ
Release Date: July 2007
As-is PSone classics have been made available in downloadable form for the PSP for less than eight dollars, yet the disc-based reissue of PaRappa the Rapper is likely to command a much larger price point. What could possibly justify such a variance in economics and presentation? Ad Hoc multiplayer support is certainly a major bonus, though the addition of eight downloadable playable remixes should prove to be the most significant upgrade.
Granted, the term "significant" is extremely relative — the original game contained just six songs, practically heresy in the modern era. But each and every one was an unforgettable classic, and it's not hard to find a twenty-something gamer who can rap back Chop Chop Master Onion's introductory beatdown with little provocation. "Kick, punch, it's all in the mind/if you want to test me, I'm sure you'll find/the things I'll teach ya are sure to beat ya/nevertheless you'll get a lesson from teacher now."
See what I mean? Just thinking about it brought back the brilliant flow of that wacky onion-headed fellow. Though incredibly short, the original single-player experience remains entirely intact, with alterations made only to take advantage of the increased aspect ratio of the PSP. As PaRappa makes his way from the dojo to the flea market and beyond, a series of truly bizarre cut scenes fill the gaps, combining simplistic (yet lovable) CG clips with amusing hand-drawn and live-action flourishes to create an unforgettable experience that still holds up after a decade of progress.
PaRappa the Rapper seemingly created the quirky rhythm genre single-handedly, matching the imaginative animation and characters of New York artist Rodney Greenblat with the off-the-wall rhymes and beats of Masaya Matsuura. The gameplay tasks players with matching button commands to the rhythm of the track, and tapping the correct buttons at the exact points in each line will ensure the paper-thin dog's ability to progress forward in his quest to woo Sunny Funny, the daisy of his dreams. Pressing the wrong button or losing the beat may drop his rating to Bad or Awful, and he will have to replay the stage if he finishes with such a negative rating. The audio/visual presentation is directly tied to the performance, and the mentor characters will become angry or bored if the player has a weak flow.
The eight downloadable remixes were not playable at Sony's recent Gamers Day event, though it seems likely that they will be made available when the game ships to retail in July. The tracks can be downloaded directly to a PSP Memory Stick via a wireless Infrastructure connection, and according to Christian Hinojosa-Miranda, assistant producer on the title, a 64MB stick will most likely be large enough to contain all eight of the songs.
Infrastructure support will not carry over to the multiplayer aspect of the game, though PaRappa the Rapper will feature four-player Ad Hoc support for wireless rap battles. Additionally, the game will make use of Game Sharing capabilities to share a demo level with up to three other players simultaneously, though it was not clear whether all four players would be battling it out or merely blazing through a single-player level at the same time.
PaRappa the Rapper is a timeless rhythm gaming experience with undeniable appeal, and bringing it to the PSP will hopefully turn a whole new generation of gamers onto the long-dormant canine hero. Some might question the colorful visuals and PG-rated lyrics of the kid-friendly classic, but as Prince Fleaswallow proudly proclaims, "Money money money is all you need." If that can't appeal to the hardcore rap-loving kids of today, then I don't know what will.

We've seen a lot of interesting concepts from Razer over the years, but this one may take the cake. At CES this week, the company has revealed Christine, a concept for a PC that can be built, customized, and upgraded by someone "without any prior technical knowledge." The concept looks sort of like the lovechild of Thermaltake's Level 10 case and a Romulan Warbird, and Razer claims it's entirely modular:
The company shows off Project Christine in what could be the most dramatic teaser video possible for this sort of thing, too. Check it out:
According to Razer, the PC's inherent modularity has "remained underexploited by the vast majority of general consumers for more than 30 years." That's because, in the company's view, PCs are too complicated for the average Joe to crack open and upgrade. With Project Christine, Razer aims to take away much of that complexity while still allowing a substantial degree of customization and upgradeability. Here's the company's full spiel:
Project Christine's modular design allows users to easily build their PCs by allowing them to select and install modules on-the-fly, whether it's a CPU, GPU, or memory and storage configuration. The PCI-Express architecture of Project Christine automatically syncs components. Need more graphics processing power or storage? Easy – a user can slot-in additional graphics modules and add more storage by either swapping-out the existing storage drives or adding more modules. Equally exciting, Project Christine is able to run multiple operating systems that the user may require.
The modularity of Project Christine make it perpetually customizable, offering plug-and-play upgradability as new and improved technology evolves, ostensibly eliminating the need to replace entire systems. Modules connected to the PCI-Express backbone can be added in any order or combination, featuring up to quad-SLI graphics, multiple SSD and RAID storage components, I/O and even power supplies, ensuring maximum flexibility.
The cable-less design of each sealed module is entirely self-contained and features active liquid cooling and noise cancelation, which allows Razer to factory overclock components without voiding warranties, safely and quietly. The system also features a touch-screen LCD display that indicates control and maintenance information.
It all sounds nice enough, at least in theory. I'm not sure how well this sort of thing would work out in practice, though. Razer would presumably need support from major component makers, and purchasing Christine modules instead of bare components would surely incur a price premium. Perhaps Project Christine's design would work best if someone were to purchase a fully configured system from a PC builder, with an eye toward upgrading or customizing it down the road.
In any event, you can find out more by hitting this page on Razer's website. You won't find a ton of extra details there, but there are some cool shots of the concept render.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jan. 14, 2014) - Riverside Resources Inc. ("Riverside" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:RRI)(PINKSHEETS:RVSDF)(FRANKFURT:R99) is pleased to provide an overview of the Company's growth plans for the coming year. Riverside will look to strategically build on the successes achieved during 2013, which included securing two new fully funded strategic alliances with major metal producers for mineral exploration work in northwestern Mexico, four new partner funded project acquisitions and positive drilling and exploration results highlighted by the high-grade silver values reported at the Peñoles Project in Durango, Mexico. The Company continues to diligently manage its capital with more than $5,000,000 in cash, no debt and less than 37,000,000 shares outstanding.
An outline of Riverside's anticipated Corporate Growth Plans for 2014 are summarized below:
John-Mark Staude, President and CEO, stated: "Riverside continued to deliver new partnerships and build its business during a challenging 2013 for the junior resource sector. We now have three active strategic alliances with major metal producers and are confident that our team will deliver new high-quality projects into each alliance within the first half of 2014. We are in position to deliver discovery exposure through several partner-funded drill programs this year and look forward to strengthening Riverside's core assets."

What a fabulous weekend! My favorite part of my weekend was celebrating my best friend Lisha's bridal shower! All of my Friday night was spent running last-minute errands for flowers and balloons and little tid bits, so the fun didn't start until Saturday.
I set my alarm for 5 am on Saturday so that I could get my workout in before the shower started. I knew I wouldn't go after, so 5 am was the only option. It was so nice to only have to share the gym with 5 other people, and when 2 of the 5 are hunks, oh it makes it even more fabulous! I completed a 2 mile run and an intense shoulder workout!
After a quick shake and bowl of oatmeal, I got dressed and was out the door with my Mom at 8:45.
We arrived at Danversport Yacht Club around 9:45, and immediately began set-up with the mothers and the other bridesmaids, Melissa, Dana and Catherine. We all know Lisha differently, so this was really only our 2nd time together, but we all ended up putting together a perfect and beautiful bridal shower. The center pieces were my favorite. I mod podged vases with glitter and filled them with 2 versions of hydrangeas.
Gifts, gorgeous cake, Alicia (Lisha) & JJ mugs.
Maid of Honor & Bride-to-Be. LOVE my girl! <3
I was pretty exhausted once we got home around 4, so I spent a few hours running a few errands {{returns & groceries}}, before settling in for a lazy evening.
I was up bright and early at 8, about an hour earlier than I had hoped, but I had a lot planned for Sunday, so an early day was in order. I immediately made a bowl of oatmeal, despite not being hungry, so that I could fuel up for my training run. I officially made a decision on my half marathon, so training has begun! I baked chicken in the oven for the week while I watched about an hour of The Big Bang Theory while my breakfast digested.
And then it was off! My training had 3-4 miles planned, but my legs felt the best that they have ever felt on a run. There was about an 80% chance of rain and the humidity was about 88%, so I was really worried what would happen on the run. I hit a slight side stitch around mile 3.5, but I worked on my breathing and it didn't derail my run. I felt so good, and knew I wanted to keep going, so I pushed it to 4, and while heading home, I didn't want to finish at 4.5 miles, so I did one little loop, and finished right at 5 miles.
After my run, I showered, ate, did a little cooking, and was out the door for the first half of my Mom's Mother's Day gift. We went to see Aloha so that we could catch a chick flick and drool over Bradley Cooper. We both loved the movie! I would definitely see this in the theaters again, and will definitely be buying it on DVD when it comes out!
Once I made it home, I had 30 minutes to grab a quick snack and change before R picked me up at 4 for a rock climbing date! No idea how he got me to agree to go rock climbing, but I did. When we arrived at Vertical Dreams, one of the guys took us over the a safety wall and taught us how to tie the necessary knots and to belay. R had his own gear, but this was new to me and I was feeling completely overwhelmed and immediately regretted my decision to say yes to rock climbing haha.
Once we were given the okay to go climb, it was a lot less over-whelming. My first time up the wall I was absolutely nervous and by the time I got near the top, I was drenched in sweat from the heat and nervs. I'm so cute! We took turns climbing different walls, and about halfway through I really started loving it! After 2 quick hours, we headed out and grabbed dinner at the Tap House.
I didn't get home until a little after 8, and after a 5 mile run and 2 hours of climbing, I was more than ready for bed. I finished up my book which I highly recommend, Summer Breeze, and was asleep by 9:30. All in all, it was such a fabulous weekend!
Have you ever gone rock climbing?
Did you run this weekend? How many miles? Trail/road/treadmill?
What book should I read next?

Genesis of an American Playwright
By Horton Foote Edited by Marion Castleberry
Subjects: All Literature
In Genesis of an American Playwright Horton Foote, one of the greatest American playwrights of the twentieth century, reflects upon his journey from his childhood in Wharton, Texas, through his early experiences as an actor in the theatre, to his mature vocation as a playwright. All along the way, Foote carefully identifies the people and influences that shaped his character and nurtured his art. What is remarkable about this book is equally remarkable about his drama: he writes with an effortlessness that belies the intimacy of the art emanating from deep within. The stories are simply told, but complex in their resonance. Foote not only reveals his immediate professional world, but he also provides a running commentary on the changes in American culture. This book makes for as fascinating reading as it does compelling history. On December 20, 2000, President Bill Clinton conferred the National Medal of Arts on Texas dramatist, Horton Foote, and noted that Foote's six-decade-long, award-winning career established him as the nation's most prolific writer for stage, film, and television. Foote's many awards include two Academy Awards, an Emmy, a Burkey Award and the Screen Laurel Award from the Writers Guild of America, the Lucille Lortel Award, and his induction into both the Theatre Hall of Fame and the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Without question, Horton Foote has enriched American literature with his unique writing style and his truthful examinations of the human condition. Besides To Kill A Mockingbird and The Trip To Bountiful, Foote has written a score of notable plays, teleplays, and films.

Foote's multitudinous plays and film scripts exhibit a voice and vision contrasting noticeably with the prevailing zeitgeist, so readers should not be surprised that his essays and lectures are equally distinctive.... Recommended.
Here, in all its astonishing range and depth, in his own words and over years and years and years, is the life and work of one of America's greatest writers. Read it with love and awe.
—Romulus Linney
A book of generosity and honesty that every aspiring writer should read.
—Jean Stapleton
Genesis is indispensable to anyone interested in the American theatre.

glazing day
Here's a secret: I hate glazing.
Wow, I feel so much better getting that out in the open.
Why do I hate it? Because it's all business. Glazing is the most uncreative part of my process. One that goes like this:
Stir. Dip. Wipe. Repeat.
It also makes a huge mess.
But glazing comes right after washing and waxing (both gentle and meditative). It also comes just before loading up the kiln (a fun exercise in geometry) and firing (all about patience and anticipation) and then, the absolute best part, opening the kiln to see how your pots turned out. So I put up with the glazing.
This is what a normal glazing day looks like:
#1. Unload bisque ware from the kiln.
#2. Sand off imperfections.
#3. Wash the bisqued pots.
#4. Wax the bottoms.
#5. While the wax dries, stir buckets of glaze and get tools ready.
#6. Stir buckets again because you're still waiting for the wax to dry.
#7. The wax is dry! Finally.
#8. Glaze the pots. (And be really grouchy about it.)
#9. Load up the kiln.
#10. The kiln is loaded! Put witness cones in front of the peepholes.
#11. Flick the bottom switch and prop the lid up so moisture can escape.
#12. At hourly intervals, continue flicking switches until the kiln reaches temperature and shuts off.*
#13. While waiting for the kiln to cool, go to sleep. It's been a long day.
*I'm one of those few potters crazy enough to fire in a manual kiln, which means I can't punch a program into an electric controller and then go to bed. I have to be attentive. I think this is due in part to the fact that I used to be a professional baker, and in a lot of ways the process of baking bread is very similar to the process of making pottery. I like to see and know what's going on every step of the way.

BLOG: How Many Times Do You Smile A Day?
The second week of August is hailed as "National Smiles Week." Studies show smiling provides benefits in all areas of a person's life, from health to success. In fact, a study by Wayne State University showed the more people smiled, the longer they lived, suggesting happy people live longer.
With that, here are some smile facts gathered over the years from studies and surveys:
- Children smile as many as 400 times a day.
- Adults smile no more than 20 times a day.
- When ranking smile intensity, those in the top 10% had never divorced.
- When ranking smile intensity, those in the bottom 10% had one in four marriages end in divorce.
- People who frown in photos are five times more likely to get a divorce than people who smile.
Statistics from: 2010 Wayne State University, Hellen Chen, DePauw University

Lost in the air combat and air ace fanfare of World War II was the dangerous, unheralded, and vital role played by USAAF fighter-bomber pilots over the Mediterranean and northwest Europe. Four times as many pilots were lost during strafing and ground attack sorties than were lost against the Luftwaffe in aerial combat. This extensive book is the first in-depth examination of American air-to-ground attack and explores numerous aspects of the subject. The three priorities of the fighter-bomber - air superiority, interdiction and close air support along with combat reports and pilot narratives - are put into the context of the various ground operations.large radio out of a half-track, and the seventh was a weather observer who drove a jeep for the ALO. Provisions were made for the possibility of a forward observer and his radio being captured, or if the Germans interfered with instructions to the fighter-bomber pilot. ...

For every action, there is re-action. When there is light, there will also be darkness. It's the balance of life and nature, and this 2-step treatment embraces that value. After detox, you also have to replenish with vitamins. This is the Nutritious Radiant Vitality 2-step Treatment, which is a face mask.
Step 1 is Detox while Step 2 is Infuse. The Detox half is a light clay while Infuse is a gel-like translucent cream which is to be applied after the clay is washed off. Isn't the packaging cute? I opened it and thought it was definitely interesting. I didn't expect the mask to look like this, and I was pleasantly surprised. This mask has the same scent as the essence oil, a sweet fruity scent, and you'll either love it or hate it. One thing about the plastic cover is that it is rather thin and flimsy. When I haven't figured out how to place back the cover, I got both the mask everywhere!
The trick is this. See the little dot below? You match the dot from the plastic cover to the tub before placing it back. That way, you'll get it to fit perfectly without sliding everywhere, getting both the products mixed together. I wish they'd do something about this. I'm a little fussy when it comes to keeping my skincare and makeup clean, so it was getting to me when I kept getting the clay into the gel and vice versa!
Anyway, a little packaging hiccup aside, I do like this mask very much. I apply a thin layer of Detox all over my face (avoiding the eye area) and leave it on for 5-10 minutes. After washing it off, I apply another thin layer of Infuse then DO NOT wash it off. Habit kicked in and I washed it off the first time I used it. I was like "Darn, you silly dum dum…" I use this once a week, and it's been keeping my face more radiant. Another thing I notice with this Nutritious line is that it helps me keep bumps away. I had a little bump here and there, and after using this mask, the bumps are flat the next morning. I tried it a few times, using this then the oil after, and it worked every time! I don't know what it was, because the Nutritious line is to restore radiance to the skin, not getting rid of bumps.
So the combo below is great (for me) to fight off bumps AND make my skin look glowy. Definitely a keeper!
The 2-step Treatment is already available at all Estee Lauder counters nationwide, retailing for RM240. I wanted to say that you HAVE to check it out, and then I realised how individual skin is. If you have skin condition similar to mine, normal to combination oily, with some blackheads here and there, and little bumps once in a while, then do check it out!
xoxo Lily

Picture and promise lower antibiotic Rx
Scientific American reports that a low-cost doctor-patient intervention can drive down unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions: a signed commitment not to prescribe such drugs, with the doctor's picture attached, on display in the waiting room. The small study focused on clinics in Los Angeles, where researchers found that doctors who displayed such a commitment wrote 20% fewer antibiotic prescriptions during the flu season.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says close to half of prescribed antibiotics should not have been written.
