As part of my job, I frequently call people who are clients of the company I work for. It's one of my favorite pats of the job. Yesterday, I had a very memorable and touching conversation with a woman in her 70s who had recently (three months ago) lost her son in a car accident. Talking about her son's death, and how the loss was affecting her wasn't the purpose of my call. Discussing the annuity she had chosen to purchase with the proceeds of his insurance policy was. She said at first, that she had a limited amount of time to visit because some friends were meeting her for lunch soon, but we made time to talk.
We managed to review the annuity purchase, but we also spent a lot of time talking about lessons she has learned from her sons death and even more. She described how losing her only child made her give much greater thought to taking steps to secure her financial well-being, because even though she is married, she now feels "more alone." She talked about how surreal it was to have spoken with him at 2 pm that Sunday and know that he died at 5 pm the same day, halfway across the country. And then she revealed who her lunch partners were. They were women from her church that she had known for years, but she had never known that they had lost children until she spoke aloud about her son's car accident. As a result, they have become even closer and had become a circle of support for each other.
As she spoke, it struck me how our social networks, our communities, our churches, synagogues and mosques are wonderful vessels of support for things that we can share with each other. "I've known these women for many years," this woman told me," and I had no idea that they had gone through this too. And now here they are, picking me up for lunch today."
Afterward, I thought of a quote from Nelson Mandela that was posted on our own Learninghope Facebook page, that says we will not put an end to abuse/rape, until it becomes an acceptable table topic….something we can discuss and acknowledge it the same way we discuss and acknowledge other topics at the table.
When someone in our family, workplace, social group, or religious circle shares a story of sexual abuse, we often want to take the story out of that circle and put it where we think it belongs, in a therapist's office, private place to talk, or away from our group altogether. As Jackie once pointed out to me, "we want to take something that happened in a dark, secret place and only talk about it in another dark, secret place." Learninghope.org is trying to change that. We are trying to provide an open, public, safe place where those of us who have experienced childhood sexual abuse, or who love some that has, or who ministers to those who have, can support each other, hear each other and learn to hope and heal together. And the great thing about our forum is that you can receive this open, public support whether you want to remain anonymous, or not.
The last thing this dear woman said to me on our phone call was, "I'm sorry for monopolizing the conversation with talk of my son's death and my grief process, but it's what is most on my mind right now, so it just spills out when I talk." I told her I was honored to have heard her stories. It not only helped me understand why she had chosen the investment she did (which was germane to my call), but I had also learned great things from her that day and I knew that it had helped her to be able to speak about it.
Learninghope.org is a safe place. You can share the pain and the lessons here. You can discover how much you have in common with other survivors, and you can help all of us by telling your story.


text: October 22, 2014 Culture Spotlight: Cubsim Leonard Lauder These days the potential and possibilities of contemporary art seem boundless, but it was Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque's break from the rules and figurative traditions that left the door wide open for Modernism. Now through February, visitors to The Metropolitan Museum of Art can get a unique and elaborate look at the movement that changed the trajectory of art at the start of the Twentieth Century in a show that not only highlights the organic development of the style, but also sheds light on the art of art collecting. 'Cubism: The Leonard A. Lauder Collection' brings the former head of Estée Lauder's historically unparalleled Cubism collection to the public for the first time, tracing the pioneering art movement through the work of it's four most preeminent artists, Picasso, Braque, Juan Gris, and Fernand Léger. The show begins with 'The Trees at L'Estaque,' a painting of Braque's that shows the very start of a break with traditional ideas of pictoral space, a new direction Braque took after studying Cezanne's emotive landscapes, first exhibited in 1908 when critic Louis Vauxcelles unintentionally coined the movement, referring to the 'bizarreries cubiques' in the work. The landmark show heralded the start of Braque's and Picasso's exploration that would become known as analytic Cubism, with the artist's breaking down and rearranging objects in abstract form in order to show multiple facets of the subject in the same composition. The movement then further challenges the precedent of painting when both artists began to incorporate mixed mediums and objects into their works, playing with the viewer's eye and expectations. Working unexpected and certainly untraditional materials such as newspaper, sand, and rope into works, synthetic Cubism further challenged the definition of painting. The artists mixed the real materials with realistic painted and drawn interpretations, forcing viewers to question which was which and what the role of painting itself was. When asked why he chose to amass a collection of the early modernist movement, Lauder said "Cubism was something I was able to relate to. I liked the concept of looking in depth at a moment in history." The Met exhibition coincides with Lauder's promise of his esteemed collection to the museum, a gift to his fellow New Yorkers. "Now I have something that I can share with the world, and that's my great thrill." 'Cubism: The Leonard A. Lauder Collection' is on view at The Metropolitan Museum of Art October 20, 2014 to February 16, 2015.

Sterling Cooper Draper ... Obama?
"Mad Men" will now go down in history as being mentioned in President Obama's 2014 State of the Union address.
During the speech on Tuesday (Jan. 29), Obama name dropped the AMC series when referring to gender equality in the workplace.
Below is the part of the speech where Obama mentions "Mad Men" (courtesy of The Washington Post).
You know, she deserves to have a baby without sacrificing her job. (Cheers, applause.) A mother deserves a day off to care for a sick child or sick parent without running into hardship. (Applause.) And you know what, a father does too. It is time to do away with workplace policies that belong in a "Mad Men" episode. (Laughter, cheers, applause.) This year let's all come together, Congress, the White House, businesses from Wall Street to Main Street, to give every woman the opportunity she deserves, because I believe when women succeed, America succeeds. (Cheers, applause.)
The "Mad Men" quote instantly went viral becoming the most tweeted about moment of the night:
Dave Itzkoff, a cultural reporter for The New York Times, tweeted "Mad Men" creator Matthew Weiner's response about being included in the address:
"I support the president, and I'm honored that our show is part of a much-needed national conversation" -- Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner
— Dave Itzkoff (@ditzkoff) January 29, 2014
We're sure Peggy would agree with Obama.

Pop-up parties aren't new to the Hub. We've hit up plenty of time-sensitive soirees at restaurants and salons, gas stations and art galleries. But a new Boston-based website, The Good Ones, is taking the concept a step further: in July, its team started throwing themed, invite-only events in unusual spaces, using a membership approach to create a list of like-minded guests for each gathering. Every event is thus a carefully curated experience, one where you can look for love, friendship, or business connections. Members complete a Personality SnapShot covering everything from eating habits to career and dating attitudes. If eHarmony and Eventbrite got busy one booze-fueled night, this would be their love child.

"Old enough to know better, young enough to care". These words do characterize a single beautiful Russian woman in her 35-45 or something.Young in her heart, dignified, taking good care of herself, active, self-confident, smart, professional, experienced, mature in her mindset she is the one who can attract excited public looks and become the Apple of the Eye of her beloved partner.
Do not dare to date a mature Russian woman if you are lack of self-esteem or still feel like a little mama's boy. She would find this out from the first sight. Such a woman already knows herself and what she really wants. Experienced in relationship, usually divorced, a mature Ukrainian woman still believes in love and would like to spend the rest of her life with the right man who can respect and value her in full. This is the reason that after years of negative experience in locally based relations, a single mature Ukrainian woman decides to meet a foreign man.
If you are in your 46+ just try dating a gorgeous mature Russian woman. You will never go wrong with her. Genuine, good-looking, intelligent, motivated to develop long-term relationship: What more do you expect from dating and marriage? Moreover, believe my word, mature Ukrainian women are very sexy and passionate. All in one, so to say.
Young 20 year old beauties can always raise a self-esteem of an aged man with their sweet messages and juvenile looks. But this is only a scam play and both parties should be aware of it. In Ukraine young beautiful girls are very popular amongst local men. They do not search for older men from abroad, it's a filthy online dating business only, sorry for that. If you are looking for a pastime, welcome to choose a playful youth. If you aim at happy future and long-term sincere partnership – the answer will be a Single Mature Ukrainian or Russian Woman.
But the only issue is still to be revealed. A mature woman needs a mature man. Smart, strong, confident, realized in life, with his own life interests, independent, staying straight on his feet. She can empower her man's life with love, care and respect. She can become the one from the saying "Behind every successful man there is a strong woman". Ready to have such an amazing rear?
By the way, a mature woman can appreciate a lot more things you can offer her. For example, your care and attention, or your sense of humour. Due to less age difference you can share common cultural background or be interested in similar things. She can be more grateful for everything you do for her, as she knows the value of it. A happy mature Ukrainian woman is certainly able to bring you peace of mind and better life balance.

Originally printed in the Yale Herald, 3/26/10:
Joe Biden's whispered excitement, caught on media microphones at the recent health care reform bill signing ceremony, celebrates a historic event for the United States.
After a 219-212 House vote, after a year of heated debate, after 100 years of effort, President Barack Obama signed into law the health care reform bill. Not a single vote in affirmation of the bill came from the Republican Party.
"This is a somber day for the American people," said Rep. John A. Boehner (R-OH), the House Minority Leader. "By signing this bill, President Obama is abandoning our founding principle that government governs best when it governs closest to the people."
While health care has clearly sparked many political passions, recent protests have been downright embarrassing. Racial slurs were chanted at civil rights hero Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), one demonstrator spit on Rep. Emmanuel Cleaver (D-MO), while Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) faced insults about his openly gay sexual orientation.
Even congressmen have joined in the inappropriate revelry. Rep. Randy Neugebauer (R-TX) shouted "Baby killer!" during Rep. Bart Stupak's (D-MI) speech on healthcare reform. Though passions regularly flare over important policy, GOP members associated with these outbursts should be ashamed.
The Republicans have pledged to block the measure, or at least use procedural weapons to delay its final ratification. "We will not allow this to stand," promised Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), a day after the bitterly partisan vote. Already in more than a dozen states, attorney generals have filed lawsuits arguing that measures in the bill are unconstitutional.
The response from Rep. Bob Filner (D-CA)? "It is time to chill out, Republicans."
"Now it is a fact," declared Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT). "Now it is law. Now it is history. Indeed, it's historic."
A long time ago, the healthcare reform debate stopped being about health and started being about politics. Countless committees, numerous reforms, many liberals losing hope, and one removed "Cornhusker Kickback" later, a bill has been signed into law that may finally offer improvements to our nation's failing health system.
The bill does not include a public option that would allow people to opt into a cheaper health insurance plan provided by the federal government (one of the more liberal proposals advocated for by Democrats and Obama since the beginning of the debate), but still includes some important reforms. The bill is expected to cost some 940 billion dollars, but an additional 32 million Americans will finally receive healthcare insurance.
In addition to the expansion of the Medicaid benefit cutoff to four times the level of poverty (88,200 dollars for a family of four), federal drug benefits will improve. Children can stay on their parents' insurance plans until a later age. Subsidies are provided to small businesses to help cover insurance costs. Coverage cannot be denied based on preexisting conditions. Out-of-pocket expenditures will be capped. Individual mandates will force everyone to buy insurance or pay a penalty fee. Many of these changes, however, will be gradual and won't occur until 2014.
If you have coverage now, there won't be many changes next year. In fact, if Republicans make substantial gains in the next elections, some of these provisions could be legislated out of existence before they even have a chance to take effect.
Obama said it best: "This is major reform. This is not radical reform." The signing is only a small incremental step in getting America to where it needs to be. The lack of a public option does not mean this bill is a failure, but it does mean that it is lacking. Only with a public option can the government most effectively provide adequate welfare to the poor and the sick. Insurance companies have a long history of unjustifiable profits—profits that come from refusing care to the sick and exploiting those with preexisting conditions.
The bill isn't perfect: It's only gradual change, and it lacks a public option. But it is the first step in addressing the health disparity in our country. It's the first step in creating a country of healthy individuals. It's the first step in acknowledging that everyone deserves affordable access to care.
For all the hurdles that came with the push for reform, in the immortal words of Joe Biden, it's a big fucking deal.

« La gastronomie est une profession de foie »
Paul Carvel - Écrivain
The creation of a culinary delicacy, and of a foie gras company like ours, is the end result of wider historical factors and more specific and personal events coming together. For the rest, it is passion which gives a delicacy its refined character.
Lucien Doriath,
Foie gras, a family history.
For over 20 years, Les Foies Gras Lucien Doriath have been building their name and reputation. Here we look back at an amazing history with two enthusiasts: Lucien and Mickaël Doriath.
The history of foie gras takes us back to ancient Egypt. Wild geese and ducks naturally fed intensively before winter to store up sufficient fat to get them through the season. The same approach was then used in farming methods. Egyptian bas-reliefs found in Saqqara dating from 2400 BC thus confirm the deliberate force-feeding of these animals.
It is to the Maréchal de Contades, Marshall of France and Governor of Strasbourg, that we owe the initial popularity of foie gras in Alsace and its modern development. Appointed to the region, the Marshall loved to entertain guests. Philosophers, writers, artists and famous figures attended his parties, where the finest food and wine was served.

By Dave Sherwood
AUGUSTA, Maine (Reuters) - Maine Governor Paul LePage has appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court in a dispute with the federal government over the state's effort to trim some young people from its Medicaid rolls.
In a 172-page petition, the Republican LePage administration questioned a lower court ruling that affirmed the federal government decision to reject the state's plan to cut 19- and 20-year-olds from Medicaid.
"The federal government's path of reckless welfare spending is one that we decline to pursue," Maine Health and Human Services Commissioner Mary Mayhew said on Friday.
A judge for the First Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in November that Maine's move would violate President Barack Obama's signature healthcare reform law, the Affordable Care Act, citing a provision that ensures "children do not lose health insurance as the country transitions from the pre-ACA Medicaid regime to the post-ACA Medicaid regime."
Medicaid is a government health insurance program for low-income and disabled people.
Maine is one of several states that have challenged Obamacare, as the healthcare reform law is known, and congressional Republicans, bolstered by big wins in November elections, have renewed attacks on the law.
The state contends that the federal government has run afoul of a 2012 Supreme Court ruling that allowed each U.S. state to decide whether to accept the expansion.
Following that ruling, 22 states, including Maine, have declined to expand Medicaid.
LePage, who campaigned on a platform of welfare reform, was re-elected in November after handily beating Democratic challenger and five-term U.S. Representative Mike Michaud.
His administration has long argued that welfare funds should be directed toward "the truly needy, not job-ready adults."
Cutting the Medicaid rolls would have saved Maine $3.7 million, according to the LePage administration, which has sought to slash hundreds of millions of dollars in healthcare spending overall.

Oh man, I'm really digging this moisturizer. It doesn't work miracles when it comes to dryness, but what's awesome, besides it's scent, is how it goes matte. I don't normally wear makeup, so I tend to look shiny after putting on my morning lotion. But this just goes matte, which is crazy awesome.
I'm not sure where to begin with this perfume. It's the first perfume I've used that actually had notes. At first, it just smells musky, sort of an old fashioned perfume smell. The second note was citrus, which smelled pretty nice. Then lastly came the obnoxious stereotypical perfume smell. Other than the layers, I wasn't impressed. It also gave me quite the headache.
WOAH. Now that is pink! I have never worn such bright polish before! I've got to say, it was a pretty fun change. It's not something I plan to wear often, but it really was pretty. And it lasted about a week, which for me is rare.
Oh how I love this cleanser! The smell reminds me of what is used during a facial. It feels gentle but it still helps with acne. I'm getting this asap.
Huh. I'm not much of a hair oil person. I have thin straight hair, so oil kind of scares me. But I was pretty impressed with this. I use it after a shower, and it helps comb out tangles. I don't see a huge improvement, but I think my ends may be healthier since using. It really is great for tangles though, so I plan to use it till it runs out.
TEA!?!?! Oh man, you have noooo idea how happy I was about this. I am a huge tea drinker. I've got an obnoxious amount of tea taking over my mom's kitchen. So getting to try any tea is a huge treat for me. However, I've got to say I was pretty disappointed with these.
I couldn't smell much cucumber, just mint. It really didn't have any flavor.
You can really smell the cherries in this, it's almost over powering. Taste wise though, I just taste the green tea, which by itself is too bitter for me.
This certainly smelled nice, but the taste was very bitter. Not pleasant at all.
So for the tea, go for it if you enjoy the taste of plain green tea. Just don't expect any of the flavors to actually exist.

Ok … I don't expect content marketing grommets of recent employ to get this Henny Youngman reference in the title, but my hope is that the words stand alone as an offer that both neophytes and know-betters can't refuse in their rush to impress or fill space.
You see, along with the content marketing hype machine comes the churn of blogs, eBooks, infographics, white papers, videos and other vehicles all destined for the digital landfill because they shared the common trait of being untethered and painfully unencumbered by even a modicum of strategy or end goal.
You know how these conversations start because you are either forced to start them or weather them from above.
Witness: "We need a thought leadership blog." "We need a video!" "I need you to write an eBook." "Can you create an infographic for us?"
Need proof that chasing a content format or tactic isn't working?
Try this:
Current data puts anywhere from 60 to 80 percent all content being created in business-to-business companies in the unread pile.
A not-so-gentle reminder to know your audience first
The pitfalls of falling into tactics before having a strategy are as old as marketing itself, I know, but in the age of "We need a Facebook page/LinkedIn Profile/Twitter handle/Instagram or Vine account," it warrants this passionate plea:
Please, for the love of all that is good and right in the world, let's start with a plan complete with a beginning, a middle and a measurable end before settling on what we need to do or how you're going to do it.
Before you create anything …
I suggested last time – aided by the wisdom of Joe Pulizzi of the Content Marketing Institute – that having a point in the form of a Content Mission Statement is a good place to start. After you know what you intend to do with your content, let's also agree to start content planning sessions by doing this or something like it before attacking the keyboard:
1. Review recent sales data to understand the buying stages for your product, the most common buyer titles, content consumption patterns, and key influencer/decision maker requirements during the sales process.
2. Ask questions like this in relevant industry, title or topical groups in LinkedIn and Quora: "What information do you need before you make a significant purchase at work?"
3. Research content preference data to get a sense for what your prospects might want instead of what you believe they need.
4. Ask current and former customers which types of content helped them become purchasers.
5. Use this information to inform a content creation and distribution strategy tied to an editorial calendar, and then bring it all together in an integrated marketing plan.
In an effort to payoff my headline for this post and give you a head start on #5, I created this SlideShare deck for you: A proven content marketing strategy ready to steal + an offer to lend a hand. In this presentation, you'll find not only proven content mix for each buyer stage, but also the inbound and email lead nurturing plan I use to increase sales-accepted leads and pipeline revenue for clients. Take a look and if the presentation proves useful, take it. If not, let's talk soon so we can make it work for you. As always, if you need market or buyer persona research and content execution assistance, send me a email or let's connect on Twitter.
For those of you with a better way or some thoughts to add on how to create content that helps people solve a business problem, fire away below.

Over the past 24 months, there has been a growing interest in using Bitcoin as a payment method. Frictionless and global payments at a fraction of traditional payment processing costs, while not having to invest in additional infrastructure, seems to be a dream come true for merchants. VodaNet is the latest company to accept Bitcoin transactions, and their vacation packages can now be paid for in virtual currency.
Cryptsy 2.0 Includes Many Changes and Features, Pro Plan Announced
Cryptsy is one of the largest cryptocurrency platforms in existence to date. Not only does this platform give users the chance to trade various types of virtual currencies intermittently, but Cryptsy also added support for fiat currency trading a while ago. A new UI and set of features has been involved, and Cryptsy 2.0 is now available to users all over the world.
Make sure to read: BitPay Announces New Bitcoin Payment Processing Plans
Clever Kash Displays Lack of Innovation, Bitcoin More Suited for Financial Education
If we want to grow the Bitcoin ecosystem, proper steps have to be taken to raise awareness about virtual currencies, and the reason why they exist. Targeting younger audiences seems to be the way forward, as students are a perfect demographic for the disruptive effect of Bitcoin and other digital currencies. Or we can just take a page out of Clever Kash's book, and directly target young children.
Bitcoin Advocates Should Foster Adoption Through Traditional Means
One of the heavy topics of debate, which has been going on for years now, is whether or not Bitcoin is ready for mainstream consumption. Despite the increase in venture capitalist funds in both 2014 and 2015, the overall performance of this disruptive virtual currency has been rather lackluster. Or that is what the everyday consumer seems to think, even though that vision is not shared by everyone.
Bitcoin Block Size Debate Solution Soon?
For those among you who thought the Bitcoin block size debate would sort itself out, there is either good news or bad news, depending on how you want to look at it. During the recent Scaling Bitcoin workshop in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, a compromise may have been found. On the one side, there are people in favour of small block sizes, while the other camp is made up of those who see the benefit of using larger Bitcoin blocks.

Australian Banks Continue Futile Anti-Bitcoin Efforts
Bitcoin is in an awkward state in Australia. In the beginning, the country seemed to be quite open-minded to the idea of virtual currencies, and let things slide without any intervention. Later on, it was decided that Bitcoin would not only be taxable, but subject to additional taxation on top of the normal rate to boot. If that wasn't enough, major Australian banks are no longer working with Bitcoin companies either.

By Demosthenes Kyriazis
Natural and political power systems.
In the sets of insects, of birds, of animals and of people, power systems were developed, aiming at ensuring to all members of the set the basic subsistence goods; the goods of the food, of the safety and of the education. These systems, which were developed by the wisdom of Nature, are the natural power systems. Instead, in the human societies, power systems were developed by the controversial wisdom of man, that at the beginning had the same objectives as those of natural systems, but later men/rulers changed the objectives. These systems constitute the political systems of power, the regimes.
From the moment man is born, his survival, namely food, safety and education, is ensured from a natural power system, which is well known and familiar to us all, the maternal affection. It is significant that in the Greek language this affection is called maternal or parental power.
The maternal power / affection ensures for the newborn the most tender, the most gentle and most effective form of power that he will meet throughout the rest of his life.
Maternal affection is not a typical power system. It's more like an extension of the biological system of the womb, which protects human during the phase of his creation; it is "the matrix in vitro" protection of man immediately after his exit from the uterus. But the objectives of both the maternal affection, and of the natural power systems, are largely identical. In this sense the maternal affection is, should be, the archetype of man's power system.
In the exercise of power / affection, the mother is forced to limit the freedom of the baby, to ensure the supply of the goods mentioned. Samples of this limitation are the cot with railings and the swaddling of the baby.
This conclusion also follows from the name given by the various peoples to the mother. The name of the mother in all peoples includes the same onomatopoeia root «ma». For example: Mater in Latin, Mother in English, Mutter in German, Mere in French, Mama in Italian, Μήτηρ in the ancient Greek, Μητέρα, Μαμά, Μάνα in the new Greek. Note that the word mana (Μάνα) in Hebrew means food. The mana from the Sky. Surely the root 'ma' expresses the food, affectionate word "Mam" which mothers tell to their babies. But I think it limits also the baby's freedom. The
« Μη παιδί μου», (Don't my child) that with great frequency and so much tenderness the mothers of the whole world say.
Matriarchy and patriarchy.The two natural human power systems.
In the initial small communities of people, the power systems were identified with the mother. They were the systems of Matriarchy. Later these systems mutated into Patriarchal for the reasons outlined below.
In matriarchal societies, the right to succession and inheritance of mother / leader has all her blood relatives, ie her children regardless of the father with whom she has acquired them. These relatives are called fraternity (brotherhood), or faction (φατρία).
In patriarchal societies, the right to succession and inheritance of father /leader, have also his blood relatives, ie his children, regardless of the mother with whom he obtained them. These relatives are the father's genus. The term genus (γένος) comes from the Greek verb γεννώ (genno) which means give birth. «Ο πατέρας γεννά και η μητέρα τίκτει», (The father gives birth and the mother whelp). In most patriarchal systems, the inheritance and the father's power is transferred to one member of the genus; to the eldest son. Exceptions to this rule there are, in the ancient Greeks, as well as in customary and legal law of the modern Greece.
The consistency and the mentality of the people of matriarchal and patriarchal societies
Consistency. In matriarchal societies the cohesion of the people was more solid, than in patriarchal societies. This was due to the common language and training which the mother ensures to her children. It is characteristic that even today, the first language a person learns is called maternal and not paternal. The common language is the most fundamental human communication factor. And the degree of communication is the main factor that shapes both the cohesion and the form of power; the democratic / collective or the monarchical / autocratic form of power.
Mindset. The mentality of the people in a society is created from the behavior of those who are considered as having the knowledge and the power standards. It is created from the behavior of leaders. Dominant leaders' persons are: mother and father in earlier societies, the political, spiritual and "communicative" leaders nowadays
The mother's behavior is characterized by moderation, efficiency and equitability, without discrimination, love and care to all children. These maternal characteristics developed in matriarchal societies the culture of equality and the collective / democratic exercise of power. The members of the faction were more trained and more mature than the genus members, to accept equality and functioning of democratic regimes.
In patriarchal societies was developed the mentality of hierarchy and monarchical / authoritarian exercise of power, because the members of the genus experienced that only one of them, the eldest son, would be the heir of wealth and of the social power of the father. From this culture, the tendency of men for domination of the other people and of the inanimate and of living elements of the environment was born. The matches, the domination wars, made patriarchal societies more active, more imaginative and more effective than the matriarchal; led them to develop more complex and more efficient systems for the exercise of power, the improvement of human living conditions but also for the dominion. They pushed them to develop "the culture of the city, the civilization".
The Greek philosopher Heraclitus (544-484 BC) said: «Πόλεμος πάντων μεν Πατήρ εστί, πάντων δε Βασιλεύς και τους μεν Θεούς έδειξε , τους δε ανθρώπους τους μεν δούλους εποίησε τους δε ελευθέρους». (The war is the father of everything, the King of everything and emerged Gods and made people either slaves or free.)
From matriarchy to Democracy and from patriarchy to Monarchy.
As a result of these differences was the differentiation of goals in the two societies. In matriarchal societies predominant objective was the harmonious cohabitation of brothers and their participation in the exercise of power. Experiencing these goals made matriarchy the "development matrix" of the principles and practices of democracy. This view is reinforced by the following historical fact.
In ancient Athens, during the heroic age, in the era of King Cecrops, there were 12 factions organized in 4 clans, whose regime was that of Spontaneous Democracy [1]. In this regime of brothers (of factions), power organs were the General Assembly of citizens, and function organs the Council and the King. Recall that, power organs are those who are taking the major decisions and function organs those who are taking the minor ones, which induced and constrained by the major ones. The minor decisions, these of the Council and the King, are taken in order to be performed the major decisions (orders) of the brothers/citizens.
In patriarchal societies predominant objective is the maintenance and increase of the power of the leader and his loyal associates and the protection of the power system from dispersion phenomena of power and fortune, even from members belonging to the same generation of father / leader. Experiencing these objectives renders patriarchy the matrix of development of the principles and practices of Monarchy.
Over the centuries dominated the regimes with the spirit and principles of patriarchy. These regimes created, or even allowed to create, great disparities and injustices between rulers and the ruled member in society. The cohesion of the people / brothers disrupted and their confidence to those exercising the power was lost. Societies were deadlocked. Then, men / leaders with remarkable intellectual and moral powers changed the rules of government and redirected them towards the oldest principles and practices of matriarchy. That is the case of the Athenian State. The first attempt was made by Solon that changed their laws and orientated to those of the time of the 12 factions and matriarchy; of the time of Cecrops. The laws of Solon decisively improved the conditions of equality among rules and ruled, between the rich and the poor. The most important of these laws is the Σεισάχθεια (Seisachtheia), which deleted the debts of farmers and abolished the institution of slavery due to debts. [2]
Later Kleisthenes didn't confine himself to the changes of laws, but changed the regime so that the laws of logic and morality of Solon be created by the objective characteristics of the regime and not by the subjective characteristics of an enlightened ruler. This regime is the mutation of the regime of the 12 factions and matriarchy, of Cecrops era; it is the regime of "the governing and the governed citizen"; it is the regime of the Direct Democracy, of the True Democracy.
It is indisputable historical fact that the spirit of Democracy was born from men. But the soul of the Democracy was born earlier from the women of the matriarchal societies.
In the view of the majority of historians, the father of the regime of True Democracy is the ruler and reformer of the Athenian democracy, Kleisthenes (570-507 BC). But the mother of the Democracy remains discreetly outside history foreground; remains unknown. This is because the Mother of Democracy is not one, but all the mothers of the world; it is your Mother and my Mother.
[1] Frederick Engels. The origin of the Family, Property and the State. Chap. V. The creation of the Athenian State.
[2] The term Σεισάχθεια (seisachtheia) comes from the words «Σείω το άχθος» (knock down the burden, the economic, political, social). As Seisachtheia finally prevailed the meaning of abolition of debts, the financial burden, but equally or more important is the abolition of the institution of slavery due to debts.

RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Tom Mullahey and Mark Goldsack will be on the ballot this November as the Rutherford Democratic Candidates for Borough Council.
Mullahey and Goldsack ran for Council for the first time in 2015.
Mullahey holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Caldwell University and a Master's Degree Administration and Supervision from St. Peter's University. He is also the Athletic Director at Clifton High School.
Mullahey and his wife, Maria, are the proud parents of Angelica, 5, and Lauren, 3.
"I ran for Council last year for the same reason I am running this year-- to provide effective leadership and open and respectful communication between our elected officials and the residents," Mullahey said in a statement. Effective leadership can only happen with open communication. Without it, decisions are made for the select few and not the common good. That needs to change."
Goldsack is a graduate of Seton Hall University and New York Law School. He currently serves as the Associate General Counsel of the New Jersey General Assembly/Majority Office.
He is married to Kerry Schmeding Goldsack and father of two year old, Mark. The Goldsacks' second child, a girl, is expected in June.
"Government, even local government, is complicated. We can't afford to have anything less than representatives who are committed and prepared to make decisions in the right way and for the right reasons," Goldsack said in a statement. Whether it's who's being hired or the everyday business of the borough, errors erode the public trust and waste hard-earned tax dollars. We can do better."
The Primary Election Day is Tuesday, June 7 and the General Election is Tuesday, Nov. 8.

I followed originals more closely in this series. The geese forms are from a famous Inuit artist named Parr. I have ways enjoyed his abstractions . The On the Beach series by Munch was done many different ways in prints and oil paints. He took the same subject matter and did them in various color themes and moods. Check back soon for the reworked paintings of Madonna and the Scream.

Hi folks, we're tying up our series on building a self-service portal with RHEV and CloudForms today. In part 1, we deployed the CloudForms appliance in RHEV. In part 2, we created a single VM catalog item. In part 3, we created a multi-item catalog bundle. And now in part 4, we're going to launch both of those creations from the self-service portal, and see what happens from both the RHEV standpoint and the CloudForms admin standpoint.
Let's get started.
Getting to the CloudForms self-service portal is as easy as using the CloudForms URL, then adding "/self_service" to the end, and then logging in. Your login is tied to a role which is tied to access. All of that can be customized for your particular environment. You can even copy existing roles and customize them if necessary.
Once logged in, click on "Service Catalog" to see what is available per your login. In our case, I'm logged as "admin", so we'll see everything. In the previous demos, we created "demo_item" and "multi-tier-app" and those will be launched in the video below.
NOTE:One of the things that may not have been clear during the creation of the catalog items was the concept of the "dialog" or "service dialog". We selected a "dialog" from a drop down menu, but didn't necessarily get to see what that entailed at that time. However it is about to be very clear, now that we're actually items ordering from the self-service portal. Once something is ordered, things like service names or VM names are entered into fields. If there is a choice for number of CPU's or amount of RAM, all of these things are part of the Service Dialog. That Service Dialog can also be customized per catalog item or bundle.
From a self-service standpoint, all that needs to be done is enter data into the service dialog fields, add the item to the shopping cart, then order everything that's in the shopping cart. That's it. Your VMs are then in process. The "bundle" is ordered the same way.
"Click, click, type, click, click. In process"
Once things are in the shopping cart, you have the opportunity to remove them before ordering. Once things are ordered, you can view your requests from the "My Requests" tab.
In the video, once things are ordered, we switch back to the "admin" view of CloudForms, just to see what the requests look like there.
From there, we look at things from the RHEV point of view. We can see the 3 item bundle as well as the single item being created. They all start off as "image locked" as the VMs are being created from template, and that template is being cloned.
Once the VMs are created, they are automatically started.
Let's get to the video (best viewed in full screen):
From a customer standpoint this is significant. Login, click on "Service Catalog", make a selection, enter minimal data, add to cart, order. Six steps.
From an administration standpoint, it's no less significant. Sure, we went through a little work on the front end to set things up, but every VM or group of VM's that gets created using the portal from here on out is consistent. Now imagine adding in compliance and security policies. Maybe even the chargeback. And under the covers, RHEV is just chugging along.
My point is this: a few months ago, I talked about "Cloud Light". The ability to have a front end and a backend work together seamlessly for the purpose of automating virtual applications and their underlying virtual machines. This is it. Granted, it's only the tip of the iceberg, as there are many many other things that can be done with RHEV and CloudForms, but if you're familiar with virtualization, you can do this.
Hope this helps,
Captain KVM

I just picked up what is probably the coolest WWI trench watch that I've ever seen!
This is a 1918 WWI Illinois Trench Watch in 100% original condition.
I just finished putting it all back together this morning, ONLY mechanical repairs were done to this incredible piece of history.
This sterling silver size 3/0s case was made especially for the Illinois Watch Company and it still has the original factory crown.
The rectangle swivel lugs design is a dead giveaway to this fact.
I have a STRONG feeling that this case was made by the IWCCo specifically for the Illinois Watch Company.
This is a semi-hermetic case so the bezel and case back are both threaded.
The case measures 46mm lug tip to lug tip, 31.5mm without the crown with a 14mm lug diameter.
This Illinois Trench Watch still has the original Khaki green strap and sterling silver strap clasp made by D & C.
This watch features a rarely seen plastic crystal that is yellow in color, has some radium burn.
This type of yellow crystal was used to lessen the brightness of the lumed dial and hands.
Some Depollier and Fahys WWI trench watch cases also used this technology.
The metal shadow box military dial and skeleton hands have about 95% of the original lum still in-tact.
The 17 jewel size 3/0s movement is simply amazing and it was the BEST that money could buy.
This is the highest jewel count possible on an Illinois 3/0s movement.
Only 920 of these grade 24 movements with 17 jewels featuring a solid gold train were made in 1918!
And it only gets BETTER from here!
As you can clearly see there are MANY engravings all over this historic WWI 1918 Illinois Trench Watch.
First, this watch was a gift from a mother to her son that was going off to war.
The case back is engraved with: C.F. Columbia from Mother 1918.
Now here is where it gets EXTREMELY COOL ! ! !
There are 23 city name engravings all over the watch and Khaki strap clasp.
I have NEVER seen ANYTHING like this before!
I looked up every one of these cities and placed the locations on a map of France, pic provided.
21 of them are in France, 2 of them are in England.
The vast majority of these cities are in Northern and Northeastern France around Verdun where trench warfare was fierce.
Luneville, Epinal, Troyes, Chalons, Nancy, Bar le Duc, Mirecourt, Charmes, St. Germain, Paris, Saumur.
Tours, Angers, Nantes, St. Nazaire, Marseille, Nice, Monte Carlo, Chinon, Le Havre, Mailly.
Two city names in England: Liverpool and South Hampton.
Now here is my best guess....................
The watch was originally only inscribed with "C.F. Columbia from Mother 1918".
The soldier then went off to war and was in all of these cities during his service.
When he came back home safely he then had these 23 city names engraved onto the bezel and case back of the watch.
The engraving style is different on the city names when compared to the engraving work that his Mother had done.
I am extremely confident that this soldier's service records can be found, but it would be a massive undertaking.
Common Googles searches probably won't get the job done due to his last name being Columbia.
The country of Columbia drowns out the search results, probably have to use the official government service records.
How many men could there be with the last name "Columbia" in the US Army during the Great War?
If we can find out what unit he was with we could then track their movements and the battles/cities they fought in.
This soldier's Mother must have had some coin, this watch was the BEST money could buy, it has all of the bells and whistles!
Hope you enjoy the story and the pics!
It is quite and honor to have this piece of history on my wrist right now.
Thank you for your service C.F. Columbia !
After reading all the facts about this watch, I did some digging myself and this is what I found.
Here is where he was a freshman at Princeton in 1907, and living at 32 Wiggins Street NY city.
Here is where he was first employed at the American society of civil engineers in 1916.
This is probably how he returned to the US, on the transport ship "AMERICA", in March 1919.
His almost complete military service, from a 1932 book of Princeton College war history.
This watch deserves to be in a museum.

April 6, 2010 (CHICAGO) --The Illinois Institute of Art wants to open a satellite campus in the south suburbs.
A public hearing will be held next week.
Plans call for a branch to be located in a business park at 185th Street and 80th Avenue in Tinley Park.
Exterior and common areas of the 23,000 square foot building are already complete.
The Illinois Institute of Art wants to lease the building for at least 10 years. The school already has locations in Schaumburg and in downtown.
School officials expect a south suburban location will attract up to 600 students.

3 Reasons Why Now is the Time to Align Your Business Skills With Purposeful Work
Originally Published On Inspiring Capital's Blog
I love working at a social enterprise; I'm one of the lucky few that feels empowered by their work! I know I'm apart of something important, impactful, and desperately needed-- I work in the social impact sector. Here business is mission-driven and purposeful, acknowledging the role of business in the broader social and environmental world context.
This work is powerful and important… it's also the perfect time to get involved. Here's why you shouldn't wait another day to jump in.
1. Governments are slow to enact change.
Only about five percent of bills and resolutions introduced to Congress will be signed into law. There's a lot of talk about immigration, global warming, equality… but, how much change is actually taking place? With constant news stories that allude to corruption, scandal, and dishonesty, the "politics of politics" often stalls governments from implementing positive change. Now more than ever, businesses have the power to affect social change quickly.
For example, on September 20, Category 5 Hurricane Maria, wreaked havoc on Puerto Rico. Over 3.4 million people were left without power. The government responded painfully slowly, while private companies immediately acted. Tesla sent solar paneled batteries, UPS shipped food, and Google, JetBlue, Starbucks, Lowe's, Verizon, and dozens more, pledged money to rebuild the island.
We no longer live in a world where companies can ignore the reach and influence they have and this is a great thing! Social impact work allows you to shape the way companies step up to the plate and take on this responsibility. Corporations are people... it's time they act like responsible ones.
2. The movement is growing.
Whether it's the $114 billion in impact investing last year, or the proliferation of Benefit Corporations (B Corps) this year, you can't ignore this powerful movement. There are over 2,300 B Corps, in over 50 countries, across 130 industries, including some big names like: Warby Parker, Patagonia, Ben & Jerry's, Unilever, Etsy, Inspiring Capital. All of these companies are focused on creating long-term impact without sacrificing the bottom line.
I believe that within ten years every Fortune 500 company will need to have some sort of CSR initiative, social impact branch, or wide spread impact model (i.e. B Corp) in place if they want to remain relevant and competitive.
Social impact isn't going anywhere. Using business as a force for good can become the standard of the business world and why wouldn't you want to be apart of that?
3. You can shape an industry.
Social impact in the business sector, on this scale, is still relatively new. This means that there are some growing pains; the industry is in the process of shaping itself. There are major foundational questions that still need to be answered.
How do you measure impact? How does CSR fit into this world? What's the responsibility of businesses in their communities? Is there a gold standard? Which traditional business practices need to be re-evaluated? How can non-profits learn from social enterprises? What can corporations learn from non-profits?
By getting involved now, you have the opportunity to be an early adaptor or an industry leader. It's not very often you can help shape the future of an industry.
The business world has everything to gain by supporting the social impact movement, and the rest of the world has everything to lose if we don't.

Powers Signs with Wittenberg
The most productive player on the New Bremen Cardinals offense and one of the most productive backs in the Midwest Athletic Conference is hoping to continue that trend at the collegiate level.
Senior running back Avery Powers signed his national letter of intent, two days after National Signing Day, to play football at Wittenberg University next season.
The back powered his way through the MAC and through the school record books during his senior season.
Powers finished with 769 rushing yards on 128 carries and 11 touchdowns. As a receiving back, Powers caught 30 balls for 370 yards and six scores. He was the sixth-leading rusher in the MAC during his senior season, the 10th leading receiver and scored the second-most amount of points.
A three-year starter for the crimson and gold, Powers owns the school record for most touchdowns in a game with five (four rushing, one receiving) in a 45-20 victory against Holgate during his junior season.
In three years as a starter for the Cardinals (one as a quarterback and two as a running back), Powers racked up 1,247 rushing yards in 292 carries and 21 scores, improving every season.
Studying business, Powers said he was also looked at attending Bluffton University or Manchester University, but ultimately chose Wittenberg — the same university 2017 St. Marys graduate TJ Mele is currently attending.
The Tigers finished 10-1 overall this past season, going 9-0 in the North Coast Athletic Conference and advancing to the postseason. Wittenberg is a Division III program under 21-year veteran coach Joe Fincham.
Powers — a 2017 First-Team All-MAC selection — was a mainstay for the Cardinals in 2017 as he was a big piece for helping New Bremen snap its five-year MAC losing skid with a 34-20 win over Parkway on Sept. 22.

American Airlines' parent, AMR Corp., posted a staggering loss of $1.04 billion in the first quarter, but the world's largest airline has a potentially bigger problem: the future of Chief Executive Donald J. Carty.

Cant span my desktop to another monitor
Theres been an issue with desktop SPANNING for deulscreen gaming on a nvidia graphics card since the launch of vista GUI.
Note: i am speaking of desktop SPANNING being able to extend the resolution of a single desktop or screen to the second monitor.
aka (1440x900+ (custom resolution)1280x900) = 2720x900
This is critical to do deulscreen gaming in 3D or not. as the game then maximizes over both screens and your able to extend the GUI to all of the 2720x900 pixels.
I am currently running desktop extender
rightclick on desktop> screen resolution > multiple displays > extend these displays.
Although this works best with multitasking and commiting a single program to each monitor or using windows that are expandable like windows media player to increase productivity.
This does NOT however fix the Deulscreen gaming problem as the game maximizes on only one desktop. for example the 1440x900.
I am aware this works in windows xp but seeing as windows 7 is more expensive and new this should be available as well as additional options!!!
I am also aware this works on ATI graphics cards with eyefinity and hydravision. I and MANY others are using Nvidia cards WITHOUT THIS OPTION! Frustrated because we upgraded EXPENSIVELY to windows 7 and now we are actually having an even worse gaming expierience on windows 7 than on XP.
Now its been a long time since the launch of the vista GUI and that same GUI and some of it flaws came to windows 7.
Has there been a solution found?
Are you even looking into the problem?
Is this going to be fixed?????
Is there a screen driver i could use to add the function?
|My System Specs
|15 Feb 2011
i sent this message directly to microsoft support too becuse litteraly thousands of post has been posted on it and this is just one of those things thats been around since vista that microsoft simply refuses to fix. i need a solution even if it means changing windows BASE CODE!
|My System Specs
|15 Feb 2011
this is also something i recently discovered. everyone says try ultramon or display fusion. but none of them has the spesefic function that allows games to maximize over 2 monitors.
Also i cant decide whether this is Nvidia's fault or Windows's fault. however ATI has made a solution called Eyefinity this however doesnt work for nvidia users. I want to wait for working fixes but this requires more than waiting since this has been around since the launch of vista and still hasnt been fixed.
|My System Specs
|15 Feb 2011
if anyone knows where to find nvidia Nview drivers or a working download link of it because nvidia doesnt distribute it anymore.
also on xp if you get the option to choose " as one large horizontal desktop" on the resolution screen..

nope actual window manager doesnt have window spanning either

40th International Mining Games 2018
On Thursday 29th, Friday 30th and Saturday 31st March 2018, 40 teams from universities in Australia, USA, Brazil and Europe will be taking part in three days of physical and mental mining-related challenges at King Edward Mine. The event will remind the world that Cornwall and specifically the Camborne School of Mines continues to make a valuable contribution which will inspire children in local schools to think about an exciting future career in engineering.
Alex Perry (Chair of CSM International Mining Games) said; "I consider myself fortunate have studied at CSM and as I near completion of my degree have come to appreciate the significance of the reputation and history of CSM. The mining games are a unique opportunity to show-case a modern mining industry to Cornwall and to the world. The publicity surrounding the Games will play an important part in inspiring young people to get involved with sciences and engineering" During the competition the teams will be heaving mine wagons, laying rail tracks and chiselling through granite. Events such as 'jackleg drilling', 'mucking' and 'track stand' test the competitors' physical strength, speed and endurance, while challenges like surveying depend more on knowledge and quick thinking. All rely on preparation and excellent teamwork.
Thursday 29th March is a training day when competing teams from across the world meet and practice the events. It will be a chance for teams to see who their likely rivals will be, test unfamiliar equipment and iron out any last minute issues. Friday 30th March will be the first main day of competition that sees the Women's, Mixed (Co-ed) and Alumni Teams compete across the six of the seven events. The Men's teams will be competing in the Survey event. The final day of competition will be on Saturday 31st March with Men's teams competing for the top places. The Women's, Mixed (Co-ed) and Alumni teams will be competing in the Survey event.
King Edward Mine, near Camborne, has a long history of mining education and is once again the main venue. During the IMG contest, King Edward Mine's mill and museum will be open, and there will be regular tours so that the public can see the rare, historic mining equipment working to process tin ore. Kevin Baker, director of King Edward Mine Museum, said: "We are delighted to be able to help host the Mining Games. There could be nowhere more appropriate for this event. This will be good for CSM, Camborne and Cornwall"
Over the winter, King Edward Mine has been running a regular Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Club for primary school children on Saturday mornings. Recent renewed interest in science-based activities has meant that the club is over-subscribed but a new programme is expected to be organised later in the year. To round off the International Mining Games, on Sunday 1st April the Man Engine will be on its Resurrection Tour at Heartlands, near Camborne. Will Coleman (Director of The Man Engine) will be presenting the largest mechanical puppet ever constructed in Great Britain.
The event is free for spectators though visitors are encouraged to obtain tickets online. This can be done by searching 'International Mining Games' on www.eventbrite.co.uk.
There will be a park and ride service from Heartlands on the Friday 30th and Saturday 31st from 9am.
The Games return to the UK, after recent competitions in USA and Australia, and are being hosted by the Camborne School of Mines (CSM). The globally recognised mining school is now based at Tremough in Penryn and continues to thrive under the stewardship of the University of Exeter.
