Preparing the Ground for Learning Something New: How Schools Can Manage Sustainable Change
"Behold, a sower went forth to sow…" (Matthew 13:3)
We all know the parable: a man sows seeds; some of them grow, some of them don't. The seeds that fall on stone have no topsoil to accept the roots. The seeds that fall in the weeds are choked before they can reach the sun. The seeds that fall on fertile ground grow tall and strong. We learn that words of wisdom and enlightenment are not heard equally by all who are within earshot. Some people are ready for the hearing and some are not. Some are mired in environments or circumstances that simply will not allow the "seed" of wisdom to sprout and change their lives. The question I find interesting is: Whose responsibility is it to make sure the ground is ready to receive the seeds? Is it the ground's fault for not being hospitable, or is it the sower's fault for not tending his garden?
When we school people use the idea of "garden" metaphorically, we're usually talking about our students. Perhaps I'll get to that in a separate blog post. Today, though, I want to talk about us—the adults in the building.
Most of us recognize that real and sustainable change is gradual, organic, and evolutionary, but we're often too impatient to act on what we know. We want our change instant. We want the silver bullet. We want something that promises, "Just plug it in and it works." We don't want to have to deal with some pesky seeds that need careful tending over a long period of time; we want magic beans—you know, the kind that create beanstalks and lead to gold. To some extent, we are the ground on which the seed is sown, and we are often very rocky.
Let's face it; we're not great at long-term thinking. We're wired to be on the lookout for the lion hiding in the grass, not the slow but steady uptick in the overall lion population in our region. And the charlatans among us, whether political or commercial, are happy to profit from our impatience and short-sightedness. Thus do we educators find ourselves in endless cycles of change—latching on to something new, plunging into the chaos and disruption of adoption, withdrawing our commitment when we don't see instant results, and then investing our time and money in the Next New Thing. On and on it goes—more and more seeds being tossed onto sterile stone. And when we get angry at the waste, we blame each new crop of seeds for being ineffective.
Whose responsibility is it to make sure that the adults in an organization are prepared for a change—that they understand and accept the need for it, that they understand the steps of the process and the expected length of the process, and that they understand their role in making the change happen? That's obviously the job of leadership—and yet, I've seen so many change initiatives embarked upon with no real attempt to "prepare the ground" for the new thing being planted. There are leaders out there who feel that their authority is all anyone needs: "If I say it, it will be so." But in practice, it is not so, is it? In many schools across the country, teachers outlast their principals and superintendents—sometimes by decades. They know how to wait until the Next New Thing passes by.
How can we make sure the seeds fall where they will sprout? Well, tending a garden is a complex occupation. It requires healthy soil and healthy seeds, enriching food and fertilizer, growing conditions that meet the needs of the different plants in the garden, and also constant vigilance to keep the weeds at bay and keep the pathway towards growth unobstructed. Let's take them one at a time.
Healthy soil. When we're talking about organizational change, healthy soil means a healthy school culture—a culture where people have some level of autonomy, where dialogue is open and respectful, and where people work toward a common purpose.
Healthy seeds. Obviously, the content of the proposed change, whatever it is, should be intelligent, backed by research, well constructed, and so on. We shouldn't be bringing garbage into our schools. I'm not talking about programs that have a political slant that we do or don't agree with, or that our parents do or don't have a problem with—that's a whole other issue. I'm simply talking about Bad Stuff—trendy new approaches that haven't been tested or proven, with materials that are filled with factual errors. Products that talk down to students (and sometimes teachers). Curriculum that lets teachers aim for the low middle instead of giving them the tools to aim higher. That kind of thing. Now, I happen to believe that actual "bad seeds" show up pretty rarely in our world. They're out there, but they're rare. I think the Great Library of Dead Curriculum, up in heaven, has shelves filled with perfectly decent programs, and ideas, most of which were just implemented poorly and left to die on the vine. Our parable assumes that the seeds being sown are good, and I think that holds, in most cases, in our little school metaphor, as well.
Enriching food and fertilizer. These are two interesting items. Once the seed has been planted, what do you have to do to keep the plant growing? A young plant is tender and vulnerable. It needs careful tending to grow strong. Any new program in its infancy is similarly tender and vulnerable. Any hiccup can be devastating. Anything that looks too difficult or too challenging can threaten the viability of the whole enterprise. This is exactly the stage at which so many change initiatives or new programs are abandoned. Why bother? It's too hard. It doesn't work. So how can leadership nurture the program and give it a shot of vitamins along the way? Well, one way is to acknowledge—publically—that this stage is always challenging, and to help and support the team as they slog their way through the process. Another way is to celebrate—publically—whatever little successes occur along the way.
Growing conditions. Some plants need direct sunlight. Some need shade. Some need a little of both. And yet, when dealing with people, who are so much more complex, we often forget that not everyone responds in the same way to the same treatment. Some people need very little encouragement, and in fact resent it if they're over-nurtured. Some people need a lot of ego-stroking. Some people need just a little hint or push, now and then. Do we know what the different people in our organization need? And do we respect their differences enough to honor them?
Constant vigilance. Weeds will grow to choke the growing plants. Some of them are external: the day to day administrivia that consume people's attention; the various mandates coming down from higher authorities; the new materials or processes that may be confusing; even snow days can wreck an implementation. Some of the weeds are internal: anger at having to learn something new; fear of failing and being humiliated; anxiety that the change requires something of people that they may not have. Tending this garden requires more than saying, "Don't worry about that stuff." These weeds need to get caught while they're still small and yanked out by the roots.
Of course, this whole metaphor is very old fashioned and out of date in educational circles. We don't believe that leadership is solely defined as the principal as the Great Gardener of the school—our second mother or father, taking care of us and telling us what to do. We believe in distributed leadership. We believe that the actions that make up school leadership should be shared among staff, at least to some degree.
But this actually makes our parable really interesting. Because now, if the actions are not defined by set roles—if "leadership" is owned beyond the job description of "leader"—then everyone gets to participate in everything. We all have to be responsible for both "sowing" and "growing." We all have to be the nurturing gardeners of our schools . . . and we are all, at the same time, the vulnerable young seedlings, requiring care and nurturing from each other.

It is unfortunate that "zirkusschadenfreude" is not an actual German word, because there seemed to be a lot of it flying around last week, that is to say, "joy at the unhappiness of a circus." Many news outlets and commentators were pulling out the wordplay a bit gleefully last week on the news that Canada's famed Cirque du Soleil was laying off 400 employees after almost three decades of spectacular growth and acclaim. "Is the sun going down?" asked England's The Independent.
The layoff announcement was the latest in a string of bad news emanating from Cirque, which has of late dealt with several shows closing much earlier than expected; Iris at the one-time Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles is the most recent casualty. A couple of years ago, New York witnessed the protracted birth and rapid death cycle of Banana Shpeel (which inexplicably went on national tour); Zarkana limped through two seasons at Radio City Musical Hall before being packed off to Nevada, where an Elvis-themed show had recently underwhelmed. There have been failures internationally as well.
Needless to say, the Canadian press followed the story most closely, given that this is a major employer and national treasure downsizing. On one newscast I watched, the anchor blithely asked Globe and Mail reporter J. Kelly Nestruck whether "greed" was a factor, seemingly misunderstanding or disliking the idea of commercial success that Cirque has enjoyed in spades. To his credit, Nestruck parried by saying it was perhaps a certain lack of attention and over-accelerated growth.
Now I should say that as an audience member, I'm wildly ambivalent about Cirque. I've seen them six times as I recall: their first U.S. tour, of Nouvelle Experiénce, in Seattle in 1990; Mystère at Treasure Island in Las Vegas circa 1998; the Dralion tour in Santa Monica in 1999; O and Love in Vegas in 2010, and Zarkana at Radio City Musical Hall in 2011. You'll notice a 10 year hiatus, and that's because after my enthusiasm for Nouvelle, my second and third experiences seemed diminishing returns; only years of emphatic recommendations brought me back two years ago, to my utter delight.
Then Zarkana brought me crashing back to dismay, and their 3-D movie this winter, Worlds Away, was a particular letdown. The movie, which hasn't burned up U.S. box offices, was nothing more than a flimsy premise connecting pieces of their Vegas shows. I had been hoping that Cirque might reinvent film narrative the way they reinvented circuses, only to find myself watching a minimally conceived and eccentrically shot and edited greatest hits package.
I take no pleasure in the retrenchment of Cirque. But frankly, while I feel for those losing jobs, a company that has proven that live artistic undertakings can reach mass audiences can only be strengthened by reminders that they are not infallible, even when they're working at such astronomically budgeted scales. I would dearly love to wield phrases like, "What clown was keeping their books," but that fails to draw out what can be learned from the current troubles.
One has to applaud the entrepreneurship of co-founder and owner Guy Laliberté, who took the company from street performers to veritable rock stars, making it almost impossible for most circuses to survive unless they dropped "circus" for "cirque"; I am less sanguine about Soleil's efforts to monopolize the word. As the world has grown more sensitive to the treatment of animals at circuses, their completely human entertainment carries no whiff of exploitation or cruelty, even as we may wonder how people learn the superhuman skills on display.
My own back and forth opinions on the shows themselves may be reflective of erratic quality control and perhaps overproduction (they recently began producing several new shows annually instead of one), but O and Love were so remarkable that I'm eager to see them again, even at $150 a ticket, and I'm regretting having skipped Ka, which I hear is also incredible. I'm not the first to suggest that Cirque is most successful when they're in venues specifically built, or radically refurbished, for their sit-down shows; perhaps they have grown too big for the big top.
Producing to "fill slots" is often the bane of performing arts organizations; they have to put on something to give to their audiences, and perhaps they don't always have sufficient brilliant ideas to fill the available holes. By creating more slots, surely Cirque has created the same problem for itself. The news reports also suggest that expenses weren't carefully controlled, and that will fell any business; outside of real world arts, we can watch the same problem played out on Downton Abbey.
It's very hard, when you've come so far, so fast, to stop and take a breath and reassess. But Cirque is no different than any performing arts organization, even if it no longer relies on public subsidy. It may need to get back to its core values. It can look to the simpler, grittier and altogether wonderful Les 7 doigts de la main (known in NYC for Traces), a mini-circus at the most human level. They succeed in no small part because the performers seem like people you might meet on the street, who go out of the way to personalize the performance and ingratiate themselves with the audience, making their feats that much more awesome. There is no wailing of indeterminately ethnicized pop music, no waddling oddballs spouting gibberish, just skill.
Stopping to remember that circus is in fact a form of theatre, and never more so than when it eschews animals, I'm eager to see Cirque's Amaluna, directed by American Repertory Theatre's artistic director Diane Paulus, to see how her theatrical sensibility infuses the Cirque formula. It's interesting to note that Paulus is also coming to Broadway with a Cambridge-bred Pippin revival created in collaboration with 7 doits, further exploring theatre as circus and circus as theatre. The two may well be worthwhile case studies for Cirque (though Paulus is not the only theatre director to collaborate with them).
Despite avoiding them for 10 years, I remain hopeful for Cirque du Soleil, as performing arts wunderkind, as entrepreneurial model and, believe it or not, as "my" circus. I was never taken to a circus in my youth; my only "regular" circuses are the Big Apple Circus in 1984 when I was 22, Circus Vargas in about 1989 and Circus Flora (at the Spoleto Festival) in 2003. The only other experiences I've ever had at a circus have been with the Canadians -- that's right: no Ringling Brothers. That means that 66% of my lifetime circus-going has been with Cirque du Soleil (Traces was performed in a 499 seat theatre). Cirque has thrilled me and disappointed me, but for better or worse, it's what I've known. Unless they are overwhelmed by hubris, mismanagement or both, Cirque should to be around for a long time, and reports of their doom are not merely exaggerated but unfounded.
Yes, Cirque is a corporation now, with 14 million tickets sold a year and $1 billion in revenue; sympathy may be in short supply. It needs to ground itself before it flies again, econonomically and creatively. Cirque might look to the late 70s and early 80s, when people said Disney was on the ropes as well, and the company came back only stronger, proving that family entertainment can endure. Cirque du Soleil is not too big to fail, but the company is too inventive and successful to quickly start counting out, like so many clowns in a car.

New Orleans — The firefighters of Engine No. 31 in Venetian Isles have been something of a nomadic bunch since Hurricane Katrina destroyed their home.
In days, though, their sojourn in quarters about a mile-and-a-half away from the small eastern New Orleans communities they serve will be nearing its end when officials break ground on a new permanent fire house.
The 7,600-square-foot facility will cost $3.7 million, said C. Hayne Rainey, a City Hall spokesman. The ground floor will be able to house two apparatus, while the second floor will include living quarters for the firefighters.
Construction crews will begin to mobilize on the firehouse's site early next month. Nikisha Cammon, a project manager in the capital projects office, said that the project is expected to be completed by the end of October.
Architect Doug Bruza said that the contract is for a year, so that the work must be completed by this time next year.
Those who live in the Venetian Isles, Irish Bayou, Lake Catherine and Fort Pike areas had been without proper fire protection for years following the August 2005 hurricane.
While they built a new fire house two years ago, it wasn't until April that the members of the Fort Pike Volunteer Fire Department received a new truck.
The New Orleans Fire Department's efforts to respond quickly to any emergencies were affected by the extra stretch of road its firefighters had to travel, rather than being positioned on Old Spanish Trail in Venetian Isles.
The lack of fire suppression capability on the nine-mile spit of land between lakes St. Catherine and Pontchartrain and the greater distance New Orleans firefighters had to travel to respond to calls in the rural stretches of eastern New Orleans weighed on the minds of residents. While they realize they live in the far-reaches of the city, they said they still want to feel secure in their homes.
The return of a firehouse with a full-time, dedicated crew is long overdue, said Robby Knecht, president of the Venetian Isles Civic Organization.
He said that the roughly 1,100 people who live in his neighborhood, Lake Catherine, Fort Pike and Irish Bayou often have to wait hours for responses from some agencies because of their location on the far reaches of Orleans Parish. The Fire Department's location near the communities, though, has often been a lifeline, he said.
"For us, it's not only about fire (protection). It's also for EMS," Knecht said, noting that some firefighters also are trained to respond to some medical calls that paramedics cannot reach immediately like in the city.
"The EMS and health part of it is really important," he said.

I often think of Doreen when I think of complications. We tend to not personalize them (people with complications). I corresponded with her for a little while she was in rehab locations. I couldn't think of anything so terrible as what she went through, although I am sure there have been others. She wrote about it, in a nutshell, in this post:
She has a wonderful attitude and I wonder how she is getting along now.

Oil is considered as one of the most precious commodities in the world market today. It plays a major role in the mobility of trade, generation, electricity, innovation and economic development. This is the reason why various explorations are being conducted so that producers can sufficiently supply the ever growing demand for this.
Black Diamond Marketing and Promotion, Inc. is one of the oil exploration companies that see the need for continuously finding resources to meet the large scale demand for oil. Explorations for oil reservoirs had begun in the mid-19th century and most are successful. However, due to the increasing need for this commodity, a lot of companies have ventured into oil and gas explorations in different places of the world.
Black Diamond Marketing and Promotion, Inc. aims to discover other oil reservoirs in the planet. We are deeply committed and dedicated in addressing the world's demands for more oil and gas sources to sustain the needs of present and future generations. Our continuous efforts in exploring other sources are indeed very promising. Surely, with the help of the advancements in technology for oil and gas explorations, we can deliver favorable results for the entire human race.
Oil or petroleum refinery is an industrial process plant where crude oil is processed and refined into more useful products such as petroleum naphtha, gasoline, diesel fuel, asphalt base, heating oil, kerosene and liquefied petroleum gas. Oil refineries are typically large, sprawling industrial complexes with extensive piping running throughout, carrying streams of fluids between large chemical processing units. In many ways, oil refineries use much of the technology, and can be thought of, as types of chemical plants.
The crude oil feedstock has typically been processed by an oil production plant. There is usually an oil depot (tank farm) at or near an oil refinery for the storage of incoming crude oil feedstock as well as bulk liquid products.
An oil refinery is considered an essential part of the midstream side of the petroleum industry.
Black Diamond Middle East (BDME) has partnered up with a passionate, knowledgeable and experienced oil to gas Kurdish company True Mobile Petroleum (TMP) in Kurdistan Iraq. With our combined experience, knowledge and passion, it is not possible for us to reach our goals.
Black Diamond Middle East sole purpose is to refine oil into gas in Kurdistan Iraq. BDME and TMP are seeking to raise $5,000,000 USD for the purpose of refining 10,995 Barrels of oil per day or 1500 Tons per day for a private oil business while displaying the expected financials and operations over the next 12 months. Black Diamond Middle East is located in the Republic of the Philippines with its main address in 1st floor Club Building B Clark hills Village, Clark Freeport Zone Pampanga 2009 Philippines. Together with our local partner True Mobile Petroleum (TMP), we will refine oil in the greater of Kurdistan, Iraq and its surrounding areas if possible.

The United State Postal Service made news recently by releasing their plans to review and evaluate the existing post office locations across the U-S and consider closing some of the locations.
The post office system is broken and needs some major overhauling to continue to exist and even then, unfortunately, the system's days are numbered. The postal system lost 8-billion dollars last year – 8-billion and with more than fifty-percent of all bills now paid on-line, the postal service, in its current form is living past it's time.
For those among us that have that nostalgic appreciation of outdated business models like that of the post office, I am sure it hurts, but you cannot lose 8-billion dollars in a year and expect there to be no action taken. Americans have spoken and the post office has been changed forever.
We will probably see a reduction in locations which will affect rural areas and they need to drop back to 3 days of service rather than 6, and maybe, just maybe, the U-S-P-S will be around for a while longer.
Perhaps you have heard the quote about how tough change can be, but honestly, irrelevance is even tougher. Dramatic change is needed now or our kids will not remember that archaic system of connecting people called the post office, and that will make for a Better East Texas.

Larry Masinter: > >There's been additional discussion on the topic, but not a lot of the >kinds of notes that make it sound like 'consensus'. Could folks please >briefly let me know where you stand [...] Roy's arguments have convinced me that, if HTTP/1.1 just required user agents to never ignore Cache-Control response headers, this will not lead to a conformance situation where Shell's and my problems are solved. I think it is necessary that HTTP/1.1 allows the `never cache' setting, and other forms of weakening caching restrictions. I think HTTP/1.1 must require clients that weaken caching restrictions to send some warning about this in every request message made while the restrictions are weakened. I'm not convinced that just requiring user agents to warn the user when restrictions are weakened is suffficient. See http://weeble.lut.ac.uk/lists/http-caching/0370.html for an explanation. Two new cache-control request directives, "may-cache" and "min-age" that indicate possible weakening of any "no-cache" and "max-age" restrictions, would work for me. I would not mind having a more elaborate warning mechanism, like the "Cache-Warning" header I defined earlier. Koen.Received on Tuesday, 27 February 1996 11:36:29 UTC

Elizabeth Edwards Speaks About Her Husband's Affair
Elizabeth Edwards said she believed "for much longer than most people would have thought reasonable" that her husband's affair with campaign videographer Rielle Hunter had been a one-night stand.
But the affair between her husband, former presidential candidate John Edwards and Hunter, went on much longer than that and even produced a child. Edwards spoke to the Today show's Matt Lauer about her life since the sordid details went public. It's the first time she has spoken publicly since the two separated.
Edwards said she watched when Hunter appeared on Oprah Winfrey's show last year after deciding it would be "silly" not to watch. Her reaction? "I still think this person is so completely unlike me that it's hard to imagine the same person could marry me and be attracted to that person as well," Edwards said.
She also watched her husband's appearance on Nightline when he detailed his affair with Hunter. Edwards said he only told her the details of the affair just hours before the show aired.
The two are working together to raise their three children. She mentioned they spoke during one of their children's soccer games.
"I think I did marry a marvelous man," she said. "I think that he changed over time."
Edwards described the decision to split with her husband as "terrifying."

"Every time something monumental has happened in my life and particularly the bad things, I've had him to lean on and that was no longer going to be the case," Edwards said.
She said she welcomed the criticism in the book Game Change by political writers John Heilemann and Mark Halperin, about the 2008 campaign, saying, "It was actually useful to hear somebody say you were perceived as much harsher than you thought you were."
The interview on the Today show comes in advance of the release of the paperback version of Edwards's book, to which she added a final chapter incorporating the much-publicized problems with her marriage.
Lauer read several times from the book, including a passage that asked, "Is it too much to want your obituary, when written, to be about your own life, not the lives of the worst people who came into your life?"
Edwards, who has been battling cancer, told Lauer she was feeling well, having just switched chemotherapy medications, though she indicated in this week's People magazine that the cancer in her body has spread. When Lauer asked whether Edwards thinks of what might happen if the disease turns for the worst, she said, "I don't let my head go that place."

The Nigerian Archbishop has spoken out against the Church of England, after an American Episcopalian bishop, who supports blessing same-sex unions, has been appointed in the Diocese of Liverpool.
The Most Rev. Nicholas Okoh, who is also the new chair of the Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON) said that a "line had been crossed" after the appointment of Bishop Susan Goff of the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia, as an assisting Bishop of Liverpool. In February, the Episcopalian Church was disciplined by the Church of England for its approval of same-sex 'marriage'.
Twinned with the Liverpool diocese, the Akure diocese has now formally severed its links.
Chief Executive of Christian Concern, Andrea Williams, and Wilberforce Director Dr Joe Boot, have both written pieces (respectively, here and here) with reference to the Church of England's ongoing 'conversations' about same-sex 'marriage', warning that there cannot be unity in the Anglican Communion if this is not founded on biblical truth.
'False teaching'
Susan Goff will be able to minister but not participate in ordinations.
In his pastoral letter, Archbishop Okoh said: "In the beginning, the focus of our concern was North America and we thank God that he has raised up the Anglican Church in North America as a new wineskin in that continent."
"Now our concern is increasingly with the British Isles. A line has been crossed in the Church of England itself with the appointment of Bishop Susan Goff, of the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia, as an Assisting Bishop of Liverpool.
"The false teaching of the American Episcopal Church has been normalised in England and this divisive act has meant that the Church of Nigeria's Akure Diocese has had no alternative but to end its partnership link with Liverpool Diocese."
'Globalised secular ideology'
The Archbishop continued: "The Apostle Paul tells us that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We therefore preach the gospel, make disciples and commit ourselves to prevailing prayer."
He believes that the "most dangerous attack on the Church" is not outside persecution, but a "globalised secular ideology which has established itself inside the Church."
He also believes that the "destructive" divisions of recent years have come about because some have "chosen to abandon biblical doctrine".
Nigeria 'cannot have link' with Liverpool
In a separate letter to the Liverpool diocese, the Bishop of Akure Simeon Borokini also said that the links between Liverpool, Akure and Virginia must be severed.
"Susan Goff is in favour of blessing same sex unions and this has been a part of the litigation against the orthodox in Virginia. Therefore, in view of the above and being aware of the fact that Nigeria does not support same sex marriage, we in Akure Diocese cannot have any link with Liverpool diocese."
St. Albans dean promotes same-sex 'marriage' in Liverpool
Jeffrey John, the Dean of St Albans, who is openly in a same-sex relationship, preached at Liverpool Cathedral on 29 May, during which he argued that the Bible supports same-sex 'marriage'.
He cited the story of the Roman centurion's servant, as recorded in Matthew and Luke, arguing that the servant was likely in a same-sex relationship with the centurion – therefore, its inclusion indicates that Jesus approved of same-sex unions.
He also went further, arguing that the apostle Paul would have approved same-sex 'marriage'. "I'm pretty confident that Paul would say that a faithful same sex marriage can reflect the union of Christ and His church just as much as a heterosexual marriage can," he says.
Critique of John's sermon
Robert A. Gagnon has written a piece on his website which clearly, and in detail, outlines arguments against the points in Jeffrey John's sermon.
He concluded: "In short, there is no reasonable case for supposing that Jesus was supportive of homosexual unions. To the contrary: There is every reason to believe that he was as opposed as anyone else in early Judaism or earliest Christianity."
Ian Paul of the Psephizo blog has also written an in-depth critique of the sermon, explaining why the text does not necessarily support John's position. He refuted many of John's arguments, including the idea that Jesus' encounter with the Roman centurion is any indication of his acceptance of same-sex relationships, and his belief that Paul was not strongly against it.
"Jeffrey John's reading, quite apart from imposing his own sexualising agenda on the text (where there is no evidence for it) is either morally repugnant or logically incoherent," he says.
'Naked power play'
Ian Paul also clearly stated that Jeffrey John's presenting his interpretation as truth is deceptive.
"[John] consistently makes the claim that texts 'must mean this' when they probably don't, that Paul 'certainly would have thought this' when the majority think he wouldn't, and that 'this is what Jesus does' when the gospels writers suggest the opposite.
"It is one thing to make a case, even a contentious one; it is quite another to disguise from your listeners that there is another possibility. It is a bit like saying 'I am not interpreting the Bible; I am simply telling you what it says.' It is a naked power play, and is wrong whoever does it. Some would call this dishonest; others might label it deceptive. It doesn't seem to me to be a legitimate way to feed sheep."
CofE 'beginning process of fracture'
Most notable is Ian Paul's closing statement:
"Finally, I wonder what is the significance of [Jeffrey] John preaching this sermon in Liverpool Cathedral. Its bishop, Paul Bayes, has just appointed an active advocate of same-sex marriage as Assisting Bishop in the diocese, and last year he spoke at a service for LGBT Christians at St Bride's Church. Are these the signs that a diocese in the Church of England is beginning the process of fracture which has marked the Anglican Communion? I fear so—though I pray not."

I'm creating a client's site, and just changed the title bar background to an image at 100% parallax settings.
It looks beautiful on my laptop, however, my client viewed it on her ipad and could barely make out what the image was. I then checked her site on my iphone and discovered the same, as well as the parallax effect not working.
As this title bar background with parallax feature is promoted with the theme, I would have presumed that it would be responsive (as the rest of the site is), when such a large percentage of website views are from smartphones and tablets.
The website which is 'in progress' at this time, is http://creating.essentialyogaschool.com. The title bar background is 'hidden' on the home page, and should be visible on all other pages.
Thank you for looking into this matter. As my client LOVES the desktop appearance of the title bar, but is obviously disappointed with the tablet view, I'm hoping the issue will be resolved quickly.
Thank you!

Los Angeles Criminal Attorney
Hiring the right criminal defense attorney can make the difference between a guilty or not guilty verdict. Every client needs a criminal defense attorney committed to explaining the laws and possible defenses, challenging the prosecutor's case, and relentlessly fighting on behalf of their clients. Below are 7 reasons why Jonathan Franklin is your ideal attorney:
1. Jonathan Franklin is a Mindful Negotiator
Jonathan Franklin is experienced in all stages of a criminal prosecution. He is a former prosecutor approaching each criminal case with the knowledge and understanding of how prosecutors seek to get a guilty verdict. In addition, he fights your criminal case as a negotiator and litigator.
As a litigator, Jonathan Franklin thoroughly investigates all facts involved in your criminal case. He also prepares all procedural and substantive motions to protect your rights. As a negotiator, he uses his knowledge and experience to negotiate a favorable plea bargain on his clients' behalf. While negotiating, he simultaneously builds a strong defense strategy to present at trial.
2. Jonathan Franklin Understands Your Case
No matter the severity or nature of the criminal charges against you, Jonathan Franklin understands your case. During your free consultation, he listens to every detail you provide. He also investigates all pertinent facts. Jonathan Franklin examines his client's case from every possible angle to challenge the prosecution.
3. Jonathan Franklin is a Trial Attorney
Many defense attorneys are experienced in negotiating plea deals only. This can come as a surprise to many clients wanting to fight their case at trial. Another category of attorneys routinely litigate their cases in trial, but are not experienced in negotiating a favorable plea deal for their clients. The third category includes attorneys who know how to negotiate plea deals and litigate cases. Jonathan Franklin is in that category. He is a trial attorney who knows how to challenge prosecution witnesses and evidence. He also knows how to present evidence to establish reasonable doubt in the minds of a jury or judge.
4. Jonathan Franklin Tailors Your Defense to the Facts of Your Case
It is vital to employ an attorney who understands the circumstances involved in your case. In addition, the attorney must know how to tailor your defense strategy according to those circumstances. A strong defense strategy places doubt in the minds of the jury. Jonathan Franklin always spends time to create a strong defense according to your unique circumstances.
5. Jonathan Franklin is Your Attorney
A lot of times you will meet with one attorney at a firm but have another attorney at that same firm represent you. That is not the case at the Los Angeles Criminal Lawyer Law Firm. He personally represents you from the moment you hire him to the end of your case.
6. Jonathan Franklin Keeps You Informed about Your Case at All Times
The criminal justice system is complex. You need an attorney to help you alleviate your anxiety and make clear, concise choices. For that reason, you want Jonathan Franklin as your attorney. He will keep you informed about your case and help you make the right decision every step of the way.
7. Jonathan Franklin Provides You with Solid Legal Representation
At the Law Offices of Jonathan Franklin, we pride ourselves on providing legal representation without the exorbitant price. Our services are rendered efficiently and effectively for reasonable fees. Contact us for a free consultation and we can explore your options.
The Jonathan Franklin is Available to Assist You in Your Criminal Case
At the Los Angeles Criminal Lawyer Law Firm, we are with you every step of the way from arrest to trial. Contact us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 310-273-9600. Our consultations are free.
If you find yourself arrested and facing a DUI or another criminal charge in Los Angeles, or anywhere throughout Southern California, you cannot risk trusting anyone but the most skilled and dedicated defense attorney to handle your case.
The penalties of a criminal conviction often include years in county jail or state prison, heavy fines in the hundreds to thousands of dollars range, years of probation, community service requirements, and in the case of DUIs and certain other driving crimes, loss of your California driving license for years on end.
Furthermore, the creation of a permanent criminal record, especially in DUI and felony cases, becomes a major impediment in finding gainful employment, getting accepted on a college application, or even being approved for an apartment lease. Inexperienced or under-concerned public defenders or "law mills" that don't give your case the personal attention it deserves have a poor track record of winning the best for their clients.
But we at Los Angeles Criminal Lawyer take a different approach. We put the best interests of our clients first in everything we do, from the moment you first pick up the phone to call us for help to the conclusion of your case.
We have been in the business of defending L.A. Area residents against DUIs and a wide array of criminal allegations for over 20 years, have successfully handled over 3,400 cases, and have a hard-earned 99% client satisfaction rate and a perfect-10 Avvo score.
Contact us anytime, 24/7, 365 days a year, by calling 310-502-1314 for a free, no-obligation consultation and immediate attention to your case!
With You Every Step of the Way!
At Los Angeles Criminal Lawyer, we can handle your DUI or criminal defense case from beginning to end. We know how to effectively fight for your best interests at every phase of the criminal defense process, be it at a DMV hearing or in a jury trial.
If you have just been charged, fear you may be under police investigation and charged soon, or if you are switching from another law firm that did not serve you well - we can pick up your case from where you are at and stay with you every step of the way till we reach a satisfactory conclusion.
Bail Hearing
At your bail hearing, bail will be set if it is determined you are eligible for bail, which most people are unless it's thought you would be likely to flee justice and not appear for your trial.
Oftentimes, we can recommend to you a trustworthy bail bonds agent if you call us first from jail with you allotted phone call, and this often gets you a 20% discount on your bail bond fee.
Getting out of jail before your arraignment and consulting with us to get started on building a solid defense, will help you be better prepared for your arraignment and all that lies beyond in the criminal defense process.
After your arrest, the first court appearance you must make is called your "arraignment." This is the time to enter a plea of "guilty," "not guilty," or "no contest."
You should basically always enter a "not guilty" plea, at least initially. A plea bargain later on might involve pleading "guilty" in exchange for a deferred entry of judgment which could ultimately get your case dismissed and keep your criminal record clean.
At Los Angeles Criminal Lawyer, we always fight first and foremost for a dismissal or acquittal, though we also possess well honed negotiating skills with which we can secure you a favorable plea deal if/when that's the best possible option.
The Pretrial Phase
Most cases in California are resolved in the pretrial phase and never have to actually go to court. Thus, you need a lawyer on your side who understands well this phase of the defense process and has a good track record pretrial.
Pretrial, we can contest that any crime occurred or that there is any probable cause to believe that you may have committed it. We can also enter a PC 1538.5 motion to set aside evidence illegally obtained, a pitchess motion to challenge the credibility of an arresting officer's testimony if he/she has a history of police misconduct complaints, or file other pretrial motions that may get your case dismissed.
In some cases, plea bargains will be hammered out during the pretrial process. But we will never agree to a plea unless it's your best available option and you yourself are agreeable to it.
The Trial
At Los Angeles Criminal Lawyer, we have a strong track record of winning in court. Our opponents on the prosecution side know this and often drop cases or agree to favorable pleas pretrial to avoiding facing us in court.
But if we do go to a jury trial, we know how to challenge the evidence and arguments of the prosecution, cross examine witnesses they produce, call in our own witnesses, and effectively present exculpatory and/or mitigating evidence in your favor.
A full acquittal is always the goal, but some trials may end in a plea deal as well.
The Sentencing Hearing
If you are found guilty of the offense charged against you, you still have an opportunity to fight for a lighter sentence at the sentencing hearing.
Both prosecution and defense will explain to the judge what they feel an appropriate sentence would be and why. We will present mitigating factors in your favor that could convince the judge to give you something closer to the minimum instead of the maximum end of the penalty scale.
DMV Hearings
After a DUI or DUID arrest, your license was taken and a pink temporary license (good for 30 days) given you in its place. To get a chance to prevent losing your driving privileges in 30 days, you need to contact the DMV to request an administrative hearing within 10 days of your arrest.
The DMV hearing is not a trial but an administrative process. Nonetheless, it can still result in your losing your license, having to attend DUI School, paying heavy fines, being forced to install and IID (ignition interlock device) at your own expense, and other penalties.
It is important to come to the DMV hearing with expert DUI defense on your side. We will know how to find any weak points in the DUI case against you and use them to get your case dismissed or at least secure a lesser charge/penalty.
Note it is possible to have both a DMV hearing and a DUI trial for the same offense. We have the expertise to represent you well in both. [For more on DUI/DUID defense, see our practice area section just below.]
Our Practice Areas
Unlike some California criminal defense law firms that only possess expertise in a few practice areas, we at Los Angeles Criminal Lawyer have decades of combined experience across a wide range of practice areas.
Here are 10 of our most common case-types, but please note that this is not meant to be an exhaustive list.
1. Assault
In California, "assault" is defined in the state penal code as an "unlawful attempt to inflict bodily injury on another person." It is an attempted act of battery.
The one who commits assault must have had the intention of doing so - there is no such thing legally as an "accidental assault." Plus, the prosecution must also show you had the "present ability" to commit the intended assault. That is, a person crippled and in a wheel chair can't be guilty of assault because he was "trying" to walk across the room and break someone's arm, for example.
PC 240 is California's statute on "simple assault," but aggravated assault can also apply and lead to steeper penalties if there was a serious injury inflicted or if the attempted injury would have been particularly severe. Further, you can get a stricter sentence if an assault was made against persons in a protected class, like police officers, the elderly, or the disabled.
At Los Angeles Criminal Lawyer, we understand the details of what does/does not constitute assault under California law. We know how to defend you against this charge. Often, assault is difficult to prove because it's a crime of intent, and we make sure the standard of "beyond reasonable doubt" is upheld in these types of cases.
2. Battery
Under California Penal Code Section 242, any attempt to unlawfully inflict bodily injury on another person in which the perpetrator touched the victim, even if just barely making contact for a moment, counts as "battery."
No actual injury has to be inflicted for a battery to have occurred, though cases in which none did might be able to be plea bargained down to an assault case.
Under PC 243d, there are sentencing enhancements that apply if "serious" bodily injury was inflicted in a battery, and if battery is committed against a police officer, emergency medical worker, traffic control or transportation worker, and certain other protected classes of people, the penalty will likewise be heightened.
Even simple misdemeanor level battery can get you 6 months in county jail and a fine of up to $2,000, while felony and aggravated battery conviction have steeper penalties.
At Los Angeles Criminal Lawyer, we use a variety of effective defense strategies to defend against California battery charges, including: lack of intent, lack of contact, mistaken identity, false accusation, and lack of sufficient evidence to convict.
3. Domestic Violence
Domestic violence can take many forms, and it's often the same as assault and/or battery as to the act committed. But what defines domestic violence as domestic violence is the relationship that existed between the perpetrator and the victim at the time of the crime.
Specifically, violent acts attempted or committed (or threatened) against a spouse, former spouse, cohabitant, romantic partner, or the other parent of one's child count as acts of domestic violence. Oftentimes, children are involved in these situations as well, and so child abuse (as well as elder abuse) is sometimes considered to be a form of domestic violence as well.
Domestic violence accusations are made falsely more often than almost any other alleged crime. Often, a false charge of domestic violence is made in an attempt to win a child custody case, for example, or out of a spirit of revenge because a relationship broke apart.
At Los Angeles Criminal Lawyer, we understand how domestic violence charges arise and how to defend against them effectively. We get to the bottom of fabricated or exaggerated charges and ensure you don't lose custody or your child or suffer other negative consequences due to an unjust domestic violence conviction.
In California, a DUI is defined as operating a motor vehicle with a BAC level of .08% or higher, .04% if you are a commercial driver, and as little as .01% if you are under the legal drinking age of 21. Plus, regardless of BAC, if you can be shown to have had your driving ability impaired (even a little bit) because alcohol was in your system, it's still a DUI.
Driving under the influence of drugs (DUID) is punished the same as DUI in California, but there is no special quantity of drugs that must be present as with alcohol, and therefore, it's always a matter of showing that one's mental or physical impairment due to the influence of the drug, caused them to drive with less caution than a sober person would do in the same situation.
A DUI/DUID can lead to a license suspension that lasts from 4 months to 4 years, fines in the thousands of dollars range, DUI School, mandatory installation of an IID at your expense, community service, jail time, and other penalties.
At Los Angeles Criminal Lawyer, we know how to get DUIs dismissed for police violations of your rights or challenge the evidence of the prosecution to gain an acquittal. We also often win a charge reduction, such as to wet/dry reckless driving.
And we know how to effectively fight to get penalties reduced and made more bearable. For example, we often can get actual jail time waived for community service and get you a restricted license to drive to/from work, school, or DUI Class.
5. Driving Crimes
Aside from DUI and DUID, there are many other misdemeanor and even felony level driving crimes you can be charged with in California.
At Los Angeles Criminal Lawyer, we have deep experience in all of these driving crime practice areas, including: road rage, evasion of an officer, hit and run, (wet or dry) reckless driving, driving on a suspended license, driving without a valid California license, driving on the wrong side of the road, and more.
Some of the more serious driving crimes can cause you to lose your license, subject you to heavy fines, or even result in jail or prison time. But even the less severe misdemeanor driving crimes can put points on your driving record that might lead to license loss or to being classed as a Habitual Traffic Offender (HTO). HTO status can last for years, and it means any new serious violations while HTO status applies will be punished more severely than normal.
At Los Angeles Criminal Lawyer, we are familiar with both the DMV and jury trial aspects of all manner of California driving crimes defense processes. We know how to build you a solid defense for any and all of these charges regardless of your prior driving record or the details of your case.
6. Drug Crimes
In California, there are a great variety of possible drug crime charges, each of which has its own very specific legal definition and requires a unique approach by the defense attorney.
We at Los Angeles Criminal Lawyer, we have minute knowledge of all relevant portions of the California Penal and Health & Safety Codes as they apply to drug crimes. We have successfully defended numerous others against the full gamut of drug crimes charges in the past, and we stand ready to do the same for you.
Whether it's simple possession of a controlled substance, using or being under the influence of an illegal drug, or a more serious crime like possession for sale, drug sale or trafficking, or manufacture of illegal narcotics, we have the time-tested expertise it takes to win your case.
Marijuana use is still illegal in California for those under the age of 21 or in quantities over one ounce (8 grams). And wrongful possession, sale, or use or legal prescription drugs also counts as a class of drug crime.
Having any kind of controlled substances abuse charge on your criminal record can make it difficult for you to live "a normal life" as in find a good job, attend college, and pursue other endeavors. Therefore, it is worthwhile to use a skilled defense lawyer to counter even the least serious drug charges.
We have a long and strong track record of securing pretrial dismissals, acquittals, and favorable pleas that reduce your charge and/or sentencing elements, for all subclasses of California drug crimes. We will know how to defend you or your loved one who has been arrested and charged with any drug crime on the books.
7. Theft Crimes
Los Angeles Criminal Lawyer has deep experience in defending against a wide range of theft crimes in the L.A. Area and throughout Southern California.
Any illegal taking of the property of another person without his/her knowledge and consent is a theft under California law.
Whether it's petty theft (under $950 taken), grand theft ($950 or more stolen), receiving of stolen property, appropriation of lost property, burglary, shop lifting, robbery, car jacking, grand theft auto or firearm, we have handled many such cases before and understand the law, legal processes, and courtroom dynamics involved.
Typical defenses against theft crimes include: did not take the property in question, you were the true owner of the property or had a reasonable belief that you were, and lack of intent to deprive the owner of his/her property. But there are many other possible defenses, suited to particular theft crime charges, and we know how to build your defense from the ground up based on the details of your case as well.
At Los Angeles Criminal Lawyer, we frequently win dismissals and acquittals on all manner of theft crime charges, and where that is not possible, we win a reduced charge/sentence as part of a favorable plea agreement.
8. Fraud
Fraud is a special class of theft crime in which not only did you unlawfully take property not belonging to you, but you also committed an act that enabled you to enjoy an undeserved benefit and/or caused an undeserved loss to another person or to a company or government agency.
Fraud may also involve the violation of a trust, as in embezzlement; and most fraud crimes are committed for the sake of financial gain or to hide one's identity or otherwise escape conviction for some other crime already committed.
Although fraud is considered a "white collar" crime, in fact, many charged with a fraud crime are in the lower economic tier. Examples of fraud crimes include: forgery, embezzlement, insurance fraud, real estate or mortgage fraud, check fraud, credit card fraud, identity theft, Internet fraud, senior fraud, mail fraud, and many more.
Many fraud crimes are punishable by years in jail or state prison and hefty fines, and the damage done to your reputation could make it difficult to hold a good job or lead to the loss of your state-issued professional license. Thus, these charges are serious and require a skilled defense lawyer with deep experience in the exact relevant practice area, to secure the best possible outcome to your case.
9. Violent Crimes
In California, even non-violent crimes can have severe penalties, but when a crime is of a violent nature, it will receive even more severe and long-lasting sentencing elements.
Plus, under California's Three Strikes Law, violent crimes often count as "strikes." A second strike leads to a doubled sentence, and a third strike can get you 25 years to life in state prison. Keeping violent felonies and all "strikes" off your record in California is clearly of the highest importance.
Examples of violent crimes under California law include: murder, manslaughter, assault and/or battery, making criminal threats, extortion, car jacking, assault with a deadly weapon, arson, domestic violence, kidnapping, stalking, robbery, crimes committed with a firearm, and others.
Some violent crimes can get you long prison terms, life in prison, or even the death penalty. These are the most serious of all charges you can face in a California court, and you can't afford to be without the absolute best possible defense.
At Los Angeles Criminal Lawyer, we will fight for your future tenaciously and apply the full force of our extensive legal knowledge and experience in your behalf. We have a long track record of winning these types of cases, and we look forward to helping you in your hour of need as well.
10. Juvenile Crimes
It's not at all uncommon for minors to be arrested an charged with criminal offenses in California. But in most cases, they can have their cases handled in the California Juvenile Court system and get less severe sentences plus correctional assistance to help avert a repeat offense - even in those cases where a dismissal or acquittal isn't a realistic outcome.
But of course, we fight to defeat the charge against you or your son/daughter just like with adult cases. And we have gotten many juvenile cases dismissed for lack of evidence, by presenting positive evidence in our client's favor, or by citing police violations of the minor's rights.
The most common criminal charges faced by juveniles in California include: theft crimes, underage drinking, underage DUI/DUID, underage marijuana use, vandalism, hate/gang crimes, weapons violations, sexting nude images of minors (including themselves) which is considered child pornography, and statutory rape (when both parties involved in sexual intercourse consensually were under 18.)
At Los Angeles Criminal Lawyer, we are fully familiar with how to navigate the juvenile court system and with how to defend minors against all manner of criminal charges so as to secure for them the best possible outcome to their case, an outcome that won't destroy their whole future.

Opinion 2000 - 2
GENERAL MUNICIPAL LAW, §§95, 95-a, 99-i, 240 et seq.; MUNICIPAL HOME RULE
LAW, §10(l)(i): A village, by resolution, may provide for bands, movies and similar events as
part of its recreation, senior citizens and youth programs. It also may enter into agreements with
not-for-profit agencies accepting federal funds pursuant to the National Foundation on the Arts
and Humanities Act of 1965 to provide funds, services and facilities to promote progress and
scholarship in the humanities and the arts within the village. In addition, it may, by local law,
further provide for the promotion of literary, graphic, dramatic and performing arts by way of
demonstrations, performances and exhibits of art and art forms.
You ask whether a village may authorize the expenditure of moneys to promote performing arts and cultural development for its residents by providing directly, or by contract with not-for-profit corporations, theatrical productions, movies and similar presentations or activities. You note that, pursuant to Town Law, §64(17-b), towns are authorized to expend moneys for certain cultural activities.
General Municipal Law, article 13 (§240, et seq.) authorizes municipalities to designate, or acquire by purchase, condemnation or lease, land and buildings for neighborhood recreation centers and playgrounds, and to equip, operate and maintain such playgrounds and recreation centers. In addition, pursuant to General Municipal Law, §95, municipalities may undertake and promote activities and establish, maintain and operate projects devoted in whole or in part to providing leisure-time activities for youth or assistance to children. Similarly, section 95-a of the General Municipal Law authorizes municipalities and school districts to establish, maintain and operate programs devoted in whole or in part to the welfare of the aging, and to contract with not-for-profit entities for operation and maintenance of such programs.
This Office has expressed the opinion that, pursuant to the authority to establish a recreation program under article 13, a municipality may provide and pay for certain entertainment such as a band to play at a dance, movies or similar events (see, e.g., 26 Opns St Comp, 1970, p 124; 1969 Opns St Comp No. 69-1010, unreported). We believe a municipality also may expend moneys for such activities for youth and senior citizens pursuant to General Municipal Law, §§95 and 95-a (see also General Municipal Law, §290; Executive Law, §§422, 543; Arts and Cultural Affairs Law, §61.03, authorizing villages, under certain circumstances, to maintain a band for the entertainment of the public). In addition, we note that villages and other municipal corporations are authorized to enter into agreements with not-for-profit agencies which are authorized to apply for and accept certain federal funds made available pursuant to the National Foundation on the Arts and Humanities Act of 1965 (20 USC §951 et seq.) and to provide that funds, services or facilities will be made available to the not-for-profit agency to promote progress and scholarship in the humanities and arts within the municipal corporation (Arts and Cultural Affairs Law, §3.13; General Municipal Law, §99-i; see also General Municipal Law, §99-h). Pursuant to these grants of authority, it appears that the village, by resolution, may accomplish much of what is proposed, in the context of recreation, senior citizen and youth programs, and agreements with not-for-profit agencies accepting federal funds pursuant to the National Foundation on the Arts and Humanities Act of 1965.
To the extent that certain of the proposed cultural activities may not fall squarely within
the above-referenced statutory authority, we note that Town Law, §64(17-b), as you have
indicated, provides that, to promote cultural development, a town board "may appropriate and
expend funds for promotion of literary, graphic, dramatic and performing arts by way of
demonstrations, performances and exhibits of art and art forms" (see also County Law, §224[13];
General City Law, §20[25-b]). While there is no analogous provision in the Village Law,
villages are generally authorized to adopt and amend local laws, not inconsistent with general
law or the Constitution, relative to their property, affairs and government (Municipal Home Rule
Law, §10[1][i]; see also Village Law, §4-412[1]). We believe that promotion of cultural
development in a manner co-extensive to that authorized for towns in Town Law, §64(17-b) is a
matter of the property, affairs and government of a village. In this regard, we believe it is evident
from the statutory scheme discussed above that promotion of the performing acts and cultural
development for the benefit of residents in the manner described in Town Law, §64(17-b) is a
matter of local concern and, in our opinion, such a local law, supplementing existing authority,
would not be inconsistent with any general law or the Constitution (see, e.g., Barone v Town of

The kidnappers and her gang withdrew N400,000 from the account using the ATM as the Police set up surveillance on the account and calls on the mobile phones of members of the syndicate.
FACE OF EVIL: Maid real name is Funmilayo Adeyemi
The Police are still on the trail of other members of the gang.
|FREED: The Orekoya Children
The police say contrary to what she told her employer and the OLX portal, her real name is Funmilayo Adeyemi and she hails from Osun State. She had earlier claimed Oyo State to her cover tracts.
According to Police sources, Adebiyi is not new in the kidnapped business, she was the mastermind of the December, 2014 kidnap of two boys, Raphael and Michael Esharegaran from their parents home in Magodo, Lagos. The boys were reunited with their parents after N2.5million ransom was paid.
Sources also said, she runs the kidnap syndicate with others, who are still at large and effort is on to arrest the other members of the gang.

There is finally another option for consumers who want to use a third-party camera to access the facial recognition/biometric log-in features of Windows Hello on Windows 10.
We first learned about the biometric security and log-in feature for Windows 10, called Windows Hello, in March of 2015. Between then and July 2015, everyday users/testers of Windows 10 were unable to experience this whiz-bang feature because the software and hardware had not been integrated. Our only source of seeing this functionality were Microsoft's public demos at their various conferences.
Don't get me wrong, those demos always garnered a gasp or wow reaction from the audience, but users wanted to start using this technology themselves.
Well in July 2015, just days before Windows 10 was expected to be generally available at the end of the month, the software and hardware came together in the form of a Windows 10 pre-release build and the Intel RealSense DevKit F200 camera. Although this camera was not a consumer device, it was purchased by a lot of Windows 10 users with no warranty or guarantees, it was very popular as evidenced by it going on back order almost immediately and several times afterwards. In fact, our video of this camera's setup and use, the first published outside of Microsoft, continues to be the number one result when you look for windows hello demos on YouTube and has garnered more than 160,000 views.
However, even after the release of Windows 10 and its first two major updates - a total of 13 months, there were no options for consumers to purchase a Windows Hello Compatible camera. Then finally, back in October of last year, the first commercially available third party Windows Hello compatible camera, the Razer Stargazer, was released to the general public to finally give users with Windows 10 upgraded home PCs or laptops an option for using Windows Hello.
Now, just less than four months later, we now have a second option for a Windows Hello compatible device for those users and Logitech brings the big guns to the table by introducing the first ever 4K Professional webcam with HDR.
The Logitech BRIO introduces a handful of new features and for anyone who has used Logitech webcams in the past, you know they always seem to top their previous model and have done so successfully each time.
In the briefing, which I sat in on last week with Logitech, the presenter was using BRIO and it had impressive video and sound quality.
Logitech is introducing a few new features with the release of BRIO:
Ultra HD 4K Image Sensor - Supports multiple resolutions, including 4K (Ultra HD) at 30 fps, 1080p (Full HD) at 30 or 60 fps, and 720p (HD) at 30 or 60 fps, to best support the quality offered by your application and monitor.
RightLight 3 with HDR - Look your best in any lighting environment, from low light to direct sunlight or high contrast.
Quick and Easy Login with Infrared Sensor - Infrared technology supports facial recognition for advanced security with Windows Hello™ or other facial recognition software.
5X Digital Zoom - Need a closer view of fine details? Zoom in and move around the scene with precision using Logitech or in-app controls.
The camera is also Certified for Businesses and can be used with business video conferencing applications like Skype for Business, Cisco's compatible implementations, and Logitech Collaboration Program cloud partners such as BlueJeans, BroadSoft, Vidyo, and Zoom.
While cameras like the Intel RealSense Camera require a USB 3.0 port to work properly, the BRIO will provide full 4K when using USB 3.0 but it is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 but will drop down to full 1080p at 60 frames per second (FPS) when used with that slower port. The Razer Stargazer only does 60 FPS at 720p HD versus just 30 FPS at full 1080p HD.
Unlike the Intel RealSense camera, which is only certified to run on Intel based devices, Logitech confirmed the BRIO will run on AMD and Intel based systems without any problem. The camera is also compatible with not only Windows but also Mac OS X and Chromebooks.
Whether this device is purchased online through Logitech, Amazon, in stores such as Best Buy, or through a B2B channel the packaging will contain the camera, its BRIO clip and a carrying bag to protect the camera while you are carrying it on your computer bag.
In fact, here is a snapshot of the product specifications:

Google Chromebook Version 29.0.1547.70, Platform 4319.79.0
2.4 GHz Intel® Core 2 Duo processor
2 GB RAM or more
Hard drive space for recorded videos
USB 2.0 or 3.0
Included in package:
Privacy shade
Customer carrying case
The MSRP for the Logitech BRIO is $199 and it is available today through Logitech's reseller channel, at Logitech.com and it will soon be available at Amazon.com and in Best Buy stores.
I am expecting a BRIO review unit later this week or early next so I will have a product unboxing gallery and give you my first impressions of the actual camera.

What is Spraying?
In general, the term urine spraying means when a cat "marks" his environment. When a cat sprays he will back up to a vertical surface (such as a wall) hold his tail high while rapidly twitching it and emits a forcible spray of urine on the surface. Often his back feet are treading while spraying.
What is Marking?
Marking is the general term meaning both the standard urine spraying while standing and urine marking while squatting.
Why Do Cats Spray?
Spraying is a form of communication in felines. Spraying and marking are a normal communication tool and is most often seen in intact male cats. However, intact females may spray. A cat sprays the urine and, later, another cat may happen on the mark, sniff it and receive the message contained in that urine (i.e., the female is in heat). There is belief the urine spray contains various information including reproductive status, individual identity, and when that cat was there. Many owners believe that when a cat sprays it is upset, angry or spiteful. Felines do spray when they are upset, so getting to the root of the problem is the best way to remove it.
Sometimes spraying may be a sign of lower urinary tract disease. Any time your cat urinates in an inappropriate location you should consult your veterinarian.
Do Females Spray?
Intact females can and do spray, especially when in heat. Spaying (removal of the reproductive organs) reduces the likelihood of urine spraying and is an effective way to stop spraying. Estimates as high as 90% of males will stop spraying when neutered (castrated). Unfortunately, this leaves 10% of neutered males that may still display spraying behavior and there are estimates that 5% of spayed females will still engage in this behavior.
Always consult your veterinarian any time your cat starts urinating in inappropriate places to:
- Rule out a health issue, and
- Find out what course of action to take to stop it from spraying.
If your veterinarian rules out any health issue, and it is altered, there are a few things that you can do to stop spraying. Alternatives include:
- environmental management,
- behavioral modification,
- pheromone therapy,
- drug therapy.
Environmental Management:
- Add more litter boxes to the household. In general rule, there should be one litter box per cat in the house, plus one (i.e., if there are 2 cats, there should be 3 litter boxes available).
- Every day, scoop the litter boxes. Wash the litter boxes weekly and put new litter in the clean, dry litter box.
- Use an enzymatic cleaner on the place the cat has sprayed.
- Create an environment of "plenty" in the house by adding multiple feeding spots, different litter box locations, and resting perches spread throughout the home.
Behavioral Modification:
- Identify and resolve conflicts the cat has with other pets.
- Make sure it is not reacting to what it feels is an "unpleasant" change making the cat angry with you.
- Identify and limit exposure to any triggers for spraying.
- Provide indoor social activities: more attention, play, treasure hunts for food, etc.
Never punish a cat for spraying.
Pheromone Therapy:
Contact your veterinarian about the use of pheromone therapy in your home. Feliway® is a synthetic copy of a cat's facial pheromone. Felines use their facial pheromone to mark their territory as safe and secure. Pheromones comfort and reassure it while it copes with challenges (i.e., changes in the household, a new cat, etc.) and/or help prevent or reduce the stress caused during that change.
Drug Therapy:
Contact your veterinarian regarding the use of serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (i.e., fluoxetine) to treat spraying.
