In this post I will be talking about The Sisters Brothers, by Patrick deWitt; The Sense Of An Ending, by Julian Barnes; and The Immortalists, by Chloe Benjamin. And about backlog, used, and reprint versus shiny new publications.
I own a lot of books. In addition to the books furnishing my current address (and the photos are not all of them) there are at least as many again living in a friend's basement-online bookstore awaiting re-sale, and, before those were rescued, another amount at least that large was sold to used bookstores in bulk, donated to libraries and charities, and given away to friends during a number of moves in a very short number of years, and, too, hundreds left behind in a home from which I had quickly to get out, making what amounted to "what do I save in the fire" choices.
I have, mostly, stopped spending money on books. This is not because I don't love and adore books, but, rather, because in my life there is an ongoing declension of square footage and annual income. But, I've always been lucky and so am blessed to live in a town with a great library, and an even better independent bookstore, The Curious Iguana, to which my dearest of friends frequently give me gift certificates, so I've quite an account there. I am also often gifted with cards to a major bookseller chain, and, too, an online behemoth of a book merchant-monopoly. So, I jealously hoard those credits and use them only on authors who I consider "must haves" and books I fall in love with when reading and so want to have around me, with me, permanently part of my life.
In order to make room for more, I decided I would need to set free a commensurate amount of the already-owned. Many of those books in these pictures are in the "to be read" category and so for 2018 I made a promise to those stacks — some of which residents have been waiting patiently for years to be held and page-turned — that for every newly published book I read or got from the library, I would read one of those stoic waiters-in-line.
Thus, two of the three books I talk about here are backlog: The Sense of an Ending and The Sisters Brothers. Interesting petty-Charlie fact: both of those books were Man Booker short listed in 2011, The Sense of an Ending ultimately winning the prize. As a follower of the Man Booker, I was all in that year for Alan Hollinghurst's The Stranger's Child, and when it didn't even progress to the short list, I declared all those that did so to be libera non grata. Luckily, I'm bad at remembering a grudge, and acquired copies of Ending and Brothers because others I know or read had written about them. So, here we go.
The Sisters Brothers, Patrick deWitt, hardcover, 328pp, April 2011, Ecco
This is the second of Patrick deWitt's novels I've read, the first having been Undermajordomo Minor about which I said, "It's seriously playful – or playfully serious, and darkly illuminating or illuminatingly dark. It was very Wodehouse on acid while depressed and horny and homesick. I liked it. I think." That was two years ago and reaching back, trying to remember, I have only a vague recollection. Not unusual, I read one hundred or more books each year and so it is only the very rare book that sticks — which is no reflection on the writing, but, rather, a snapshot of where I was at the time and whether or not what I read resonated with who I was in that moment.
I'm afraid The Sisters Brothers will turn out to be the same faint flashback. It was certainly different from anything I've read, which is a nice plus. The scenes were hard-edged, sharply drawn, yet somehow surreal and dreamlike, as if watching a Coen Brothers film while high. I found most of the characters unlikable, which shouldn't be a disqualification, but right now, at this point in world history, politics being what they are, I'm perhaps not in a good place to read about self-centered, sociopaths with fungible (at best) morals.
Certainly I missed (or ignored) the deeper meaning, the journey to amorality and back again; killer brothers in the old west, one somewhat less psycho and more empathetic than the other, on a mission of murder for a man even worse than they are, lose everything along the way and return to a home they departed in violence long ago, to the literal bosom of their mother. I just wasn't into it, what it meant to say about home, family, choices, violence, men, women, lots and lots of things, and I still don't get how it beat Alan Hollinghurst's The Stranger's Child onto the Man Booker shortlist.
The Sense Of An Ending, Julian Barnes, Paperback, 163pp, May 2012, Vintage (originally published August 2011)
This was the winner of 2011's Man Booker Fiction prize. It was also my first Julian Barnes novel, although, I owned in hardcover and had in my "to be read" stacks his Flaubert's Parrot and Arthur and George for years having been wowed by their synopses when published, but when I experienced one of my "I have to move again and to an even smaller space" they didn't survive the purge.
I didn't love this book. And that made me doubt myself and my erudition because a writer and intellect and human being I very much admire, Glenda Burgess, very much loved this book. You can — and should — read what she said about it here: GLENDA BURGESS REVIEWS Julian Barnes THE SENSE OF AN ENDING.
I am having difficulty articulating what I didn't like, so I'll start with what impressed me. The language is beautiful. The artistry of the structure of it, its shape, quite technically stunning. And its themes, the question; What are the limits of responsibility in the matter of how much your choices and actions influence and affect the actions of others? Where does taking responsibility become hubris and/or where does not accepting responsibility become dishonest and self-deluding?
Too, there is the question of how many versions of reality exist, as in, even without going into Einstein and physics theories, we live inside so many parallel universes made of the stuff of differing memories and points of view; we all see things through the filter of our own angles and frames of reference so what is truth? What is reality?
Julian Barnes explores this in what is more novella than novel and, as I said, in beautiful language, technically stunning and it is amazing how much he manages to fit between the covers in such a few pages.
But … there seemed a disconnect to me between the level of insight, education, and experience of the characters and the ways in which they behaved, the choices they made. In particular, the voice of the narrator, Tony Webster, who I came away feeling couldn't have been so jealously ignorant of others or ignorantly jealous as to not see what was there to be seen, or, even, not ask the obvious questions. It's clear he's not meant to be a completely reliable narrator, that being part of the clever construct of the story, but if the premise is he is grappling with his responsibility for events in other people's lives, looking for a way of seeing through all the memories to what is an ultimate truth, well then, it felt as if it was more an intellectual exercise in which he'd already decided he really was not that important, thus largely relieving himself of responsibility — at the same time, remaining full of his own sense of self-importance. These dichotomies were not plot points, but rather, the weakness (for me) of the novel.
Like many a privileged white heterosexual male before him (and after him), Tony had the luxury of deciding which of the consequences of his choices he dealt with, in a society built to enable people just like him to have those choices. There is never really anything at risk here but his ego, the possibility he won't be able to maintain the class-privileged view of himself he was raised to believe his due. And perhaps because that very disease is bringing us closer to Armageddon every day, it was off-putting for me in this novel.
The Immortalists, Chloe Benjamin, Hardcover, 352pp, January 2018, G.P.Putnam's Sons
Oh, how I loved this book. With each new year I carefully curate the first few reads to find one of those "A-HA! THAT! OH, YES!" experiences in an effort to start things off right. Well, The Immortalists was my third book of the year, but in a way similar to last year's Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk [click here], —
(I talked about that here [CLICK IT] ––– and honestly, I cannot imagine another book equaling its effect on me any time soon, but I'm grateful even for coming close.)
— Chloe Benjamin's novel gave me hope; people are still writing good stories well told, where things happen, movement and action equal to the interiority of the work. Yes. Good damn writing.
In this, the four Gold siblings; Varya,13; Daniel,11; Klara, 9; and Simon,7 on a hot, restless 1969 summer day visit a Roma fortune-teller, who Daniel heard has the ability to tell people the exact date on which they will die. The children enter, one at a time, alone, and emerge forever changed. We follow their stories, one after another, in the order of their deaths, and how each react individually and with one another to the existential threat hanging over them.
The predictions bring an intensity to living, the reminder that time is finite, opportunity to live and experience will be short. And whether or not they believe the predictions — and whether or not we do, or ought to — is never completely answered, the story combining what at first seems magic realism with behavioral insight: does fate happen to each of them or do they, by believing in it, make it happen?
Once I started reading this I was unable to stop, and, luckily (?) for me, I am suffering from pain and steroid-induced insomnia, from which The Immortalists served to distract me far more effectively than any of the painkillers I've been using. Thank-you Chloe Benjamin.
In addition to the compelling plotting, there is such accomplished rapid but never rushed pacing, always something moving, plot pieces coalescing in a marvel of literary pointillism that is never obvious or strained but fully engaging, painting vividly the eras through which the Gold siblings lived; there is Aids, 9/11, Afghanistan; and, too, delicate, intricate portraits of each of them and a layering of details proffered piecemeal, creating a literary chiaroscuro which grounds what might have been in less-skilled hands improbable or unbelievable stories in a tale which demands full investment of one's attention, heart, mind, and appreciation for really damn good writing. There are so many lovely passages and striking lines, I hate to pick any out, but listen to this, close third narration from the heart of Klara after the youngest, Simon, who she convinced at 16 to run away with her to San Francisco, has died.
Still, Klara could not explain to anyone what it meant for her to lose Simon. She'd lost both him and herself, the person she was in relation to him. She had lost time too, whole chunks of life that only Simon had witnessed: Mastering her first coin trick at eight, pulling quarters from Simon's ears while he giggled. Nights when they crawled down the fire escape to go dancing in the hot, packed clubs of the Village — nights when she saw him looking at men, when he let her see him looking. The way his eyes shone when she said she'd go to San Francisco, like it was the greatest gift anyone had ever given him. Even at the end, when they argued about Adrian, he was her baby brother, her favorite person on earth. Drifting away from her.
Freaking glorious, yes? If you ever lost anyone to death, or anger and disagreement, or distance, then that passage has that piercing ring of "A-HA! THAT! OH, YES!" sort of truth for which one lives when reading, for which as I said early on, I search at the beginning of each new year.
In conclusion, this is a beautiful novel, one of those I got from the library and which I will now need to buy to have with me, always, to join this family of books in which I surround myself. Of course, this means, I need to get rid of another. I think I can do that. Maybe even two.
So friends, thanks for reading. Don't forget to share your love of their work with the authors who bring you joy. It's the least we can do for our national treasures.
And for now, here I am, going.

After Agate Hill we were excited to keep going–we had a feeling that this would be a good day. The Thomas Range is great when you have as much time as you want, because there are so many places to go. Mine dumps dot the hillsides, and there are many gem claims all over. We were headed toward Garnet Basin (a site described by John Holfert in his book), and decided to take a detour.
Brush road is paved up to the entrance to the Brush Wellman beryllium mine. From there you can continue down a well-graded dirt road to the other locations in the Dell area. I had seen the Bell Hill mine complex from Google Earth, and was curious to check it out, so we turned west at the mouth of Starvation Canyon and drove around to the base of the hill as far as the car could safely go. We hiked up a trail curving NE toward the headframe of an old mine shaft.
On our way there I noticed a patch of bright purple dirt. At first I thought it was some artificial dye or chemical used to mark the ground, but when I followed it to the source I couldn't believe my eyes. This seemed to be a prospecting pit for either fluorspar or beryllium. It was about eight feet deep, and sitting next to it was a huge pile of bright, royal purple dirt and rock. One side of the pit was covered in a swirling mass of purple, white, pink, and black.
I was excited and a little nervous to see if the pit contained any of the much-coveted Tiffany Stone: nodules of opalized fluorite that are prized for their bright and intricate colors. The stuff is hard to get, as most of the deposits are scooped up and crushed for their beryllium content. The majority of the deposits are on private land, and probably under security patrol.
Another important thing about Tiffany Stone (or bertrandite) is the fact that it's highly poisonous. Berylliosis is a horrible respiratory disease that results from the inhalation of beryllium dust, and you just don't want it. If you are going to try finding and working with the stuff, you should wear a mask and probably cut it under running water.
With this in mind, we were a little nervous jumping down in the pit, but I covered my mouth with my sweatshirt and hopped in. I don't think I saw anything that would be considered high-grade bertrandite, but the color swirls were unmistakable. We grabbed a few pieces of rough and climbed out.
Continuing toward the mine shaft, we saw many other prospect pits in the area, all containing swirls of bright purple fluorite. We looked around, took some pictures, and hoofed it back to the car with as much ore as we could carry in our arms. We kept pinching ourselves as we drove back to the main road–this was turning out to be a great trip, as long as we didn't die from some horrible disease.
(Note: we didn't get any horrible disease, but I could tell that the beryllium dust was irritating my eyes, so I made sure to stay away from it as much as possible. The rough I gathered was washed of as much dust a possible, and is now residing in a shoebox in our carport.)

What do you do when not the friendly face behind the cart?
I am a student at Northeastern University studying Sociology with a minor in Women's Gender and Sexuality Studies. Through the co-op program at Northeastern, I am currently working full time at Jane Doe Inc., the statewide coalition to end domestic violence and sexual assault, doing budget and legislative advocacy work. I am a medical advocate volunteer at the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center, and beyond that I am a community organizer focusing on anti-racism, immigrant justice, anti-war, and anti-violence work with a particular interest in labor organizing. I am currently a leader of the Huskies Organizing With Labor Coalition (HOWL), the student group at Northeastern organizing with dining hall workers to win a livable wage and affordable healthcare!
Where are you from and what brought you to Boston?
I grew up in San Francisco city, and I came to Boston to study at Northeastern. My entire extended family lives in England (my parents immigrated to the US in '89), but my Grandma grew up in Worcester, so I felt my move was a returning to my family roots in a way.
Fun fact about you?
I have never broken a bone, been stung by a bee, or gotten a bloody nose!
Latest Yoga breakthrough?
I am developing a love for half moon pose. I find it incrediblychallenging because of tightness in my hips, but have been doing a lot of work and am discovering it to be an incredibly rewarding pose!
Insider's tip?
The instructors at Sadhana are amazing -- I would definitely recommend staying after class, introducing yourself, and asking any specific questions you have about different poses or things you want to work on. They are thrilled to engage and to help.
What has been the most rewarding aspect of being behind the cart?
Seeing the amazing community at Sadhana that welcomes people from all backgrounds and of all levels!
Where are you from and how long have you been in Boston?
I'm originally from Florida but most recently moved from New York City. I moved to Boston last summer.
What was your first yoga class like?
I had practiced here and there when I was younger, but the first class that really started me on the path of yoga was in 2009. It was at a Bikram studio in Las Vegas, NV. I came out drenched and totally exhilarated. What I remember best is that in my second class I understood the poses a little better, and it was much
harder than my first one!
What's your favorite pose to teach?
That fluctuates all the time in terms of actual poses. What I love best is teaching a pose where you get to see a student have an "aha!" moment that totally changes their practice."
As a practitioner, what pose makes you cringe?
It's hard not to be a teacher with this question! I feel like there's a lot of yoga advertising with up dogs that don't look well aligned, and that makes me cringe a bit.
Where can we find you when you're off your mat?
Singing, writing, playing with my dog, trying a new restaurant, and right now wedding planning!
What's your favorite or the most random song on your class playlist right now?
I love ending class with the song "Lullaby" by Trevor Hall.

UNION COUNTY — The 2017 High School Football season is here! If you are like me you have been waiting for this moment for months, and now week zero is finally upon us. The Union County High School Yellow Jackets will start the season on Friday against the Chapman Panthers. These two teams started the season with each other last year with the Jackets winning that contest.
Chapman is coming over a very successful 2016 campaign that saw them defeat perennial power Dillon to capture the Class 3A State title despite not even winning their region. The Panthers are one of many folks favorites to repeat as champions in 3A but in my opinion that will be a tough mountain to stay on top of with teams like Newberry, Dillon, Woodruff, and others gunning for you. Chapman plays in one of the toughest regions is the state. They have tough games week in and week out.
Chapman is returning most of their team from last year, including star running back DJ Twitty, quarterback Colton Bailey, and a very good wide out in Patrick Phongsat. This offense put up a lot of points on a lot of teams last year. However, if there is a weakness on this offense, and I believe there is, it's the offensive line. Chapman replaces almost all of their offensive line from last year. In scrimmages the offensive line has not looked good, and Coach Mark Hodge has stated several times that they "are a little thin," at the position.
This could be a weakness the Jackets could try and take advantage of. Sending pressure could cause a lot of trouble for this Chapman offense. However, Colton Bailey is capable of escaping the pocket and making plays with his feet so you can't over do it. If the offensive line can't create holes for their great running back, the Panthers could struggle.
The Chapman defense last year struggled to stop anyone, especially in the early going. The defense should be more experienced this year.
I think the Jackets will come out and try to run the football. Coach Adams says that they want to be a 60-40 run-pass team. If the Jackets can be successful running the ball early I think they can win this game. With the Jackets starting a young quarterback it will be important for him to develop some confidence early. The best way to do that is to allow him to throw short easy passes to rack up some completions. If the Jackets can do this I think they can be successful against the Chapman Panthers.

Shadows over Scotland (T.O.S.)
Mysterious, wild and beautiful, Scotland in the 1920s is home to horrors modern and ancient, man-made and star-born. From the rolling pastoral Lowlands to the snow-capped peaks of the Highlands and the seaweed-choked Western Isles, creatures and cultures have taken root in Scotland whose maddening, corrupting influence can be felt far and wide. Fiendish things haunt the hive-like alleys and wynds of old Edinburgh, while Glasgow's streets whisper with rumours of dark terrors in the shipyard shadows on the snaking, poisonous Clyde. And in the isles, murmurs on fishing boats and ferries speak of far older things, of sites of power and standing stones, awakenings and stirrings in forgotten places. Something terrifying lurks in the night, casting dark shadows over Scotland. Shadows over Scotland is a massive new hardback sourcebook for Chaosium's Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game covering Scotland in the 1920s. It features: •three comprehensive sections detailing the Lowlands, Highlands and Islands • individual sections on history, folklore, language and life in 1920s Scotland •a complete mythos timeline •detailed coverage of nine cities and their various inhabitants •seven sinister adventures complete with extensive handouts
Released: 09 August 2011

The Adult Rifle & Pistol League is 10 weeks of dynamic practical shooting appropriate for all skill levels from basic to expert, and is designed to be fun while also increasing your shooting skills. Each league starts with simple stages and progresses to more difficult stages. You may compete with a .22LR rifle, a .22LR pistol, a non-magnum centerfire pistol, a pistol-caliber carbine, or a combination of these. You may shoot 1, 2, or 3 guns during the league. Each course of fire (a "stage") will challenge your ability to shoot safely, rapidly and accurately, at a variety of steel and paper targets. All stages are shot under the direct supervision of a Range Safety Officer.
There are four consecutive leagues each year – spring, summer, fall, and winter. Shooters will be assigned a 1-hour block of time on one night each week. Which nights we shoot will depend on how many shooters sign up. The blocks available each night are 6-7pm, 7-8pm and 8-9pm. The league meets outside of regular range operating hours, so you must be an Annual Member (EPM) to participate. All league shooters must attend a mandatory safety and scheduling meeting held the week before the league starts. Shooters will submit time slot requests at this meeting.
To shoot the league you will need the following equipment and ammunition:
- Eye and ear protection.
- Minimum of 50 rounds for each gun per week (assuming zero misses, so bring extra – 100 recommended).
- Suitable belt and holster for the centerfire pistol (holster must cover trigger guard and retain the pistol securely during movement).
- Case or chamber flag for the .22LR pistol and rifle/carbine.
- Clothing and footwear suitable for shooting outdoors.
- At least 3 magazines for each firearm, or 5 for single-stack pistols. More is preferred.
- Centerfire pistols must be .38 special/9mm or larger caliber, non-magnum, with a muzzle velocity not less than 700 fps and not more than 1250 fps.
- Pistol-caliber carbines must be a centerfire, non-magnum caliber. No bottleneck cartridge calibers permitted. Muzzle velocity must be not less than 700 fps and not more than 1500 fps. Drum magazines are not permitted.
- We do not allow the use of rifles with tubular magazines which load from the muzzle.
Stages may include falling and non-falling steel, paper targets, and moving targets. One to three stages will be set-up each week, and each stage will be shot with each gun one-at-a-time. You may be required to move about the range to engage the targets so wear sturdy footwear. No steel core, bi-metal, or tracer ammunition allowed. If your ammo damages the steel targets, you will be disqualified and will have to pay to replace the target, including shipping cost. Targets will be engaged from as close as contact distance (paper targets only) to as far as 50 yards.
- The cost of the 10 week league is $65 for one gun, $130 for two guns, or $195 for three guns.
- The league shoots for 10 weeks, and the best 8 weeks for each shooter will count towards their final score. There will be no make-ups for missed weeks. Shooters completing less than 8 weeks are welcome to continue shooting the league, but will not be eligible for prizes.
- At the completion of each league, there will be an awards presentation with dinner provided.
For any additional information please contact the Rifle and Pistol Range at (907) 688-3967.

What is a trigger?A trigger is an event that activates (fires) the execution of a scheduled job. In short, a job is a combination of triggers and actions. Without enabled triggers, it will never run, without enabled actions, it will do nothing when scheduled. The execution is serialized, meaning that a task cannot run multiple instances at the same time, but only the first one, the others are rescheduled (maybe, depending on the misfire policy, see below). As you can see, there can be more active triggers at the same time, not only because there are more types of them, but also to refine the job's execution as much as needed. By example, one could have a trigger fire daily at noon, but another one at midnight and yet another one to a bigger interval level, maybe on a monthly basis. There is no limitation and no important performance overhead in the number of triggers.
What types of triggers are there?There are four types of triggers, for the moment: the time-dependent, the database-dependent, the application-dependent (app events) and the user-dependent. The time-dependent are the classic scheduler events, that will automatically do repetitive tasks (there's also a "One time" only trigger), at convenient times, so one can escape the boredom and the stress of the every day must-be-done work. We think they can cover all the time intervals, from the very simple (everyday) ones to the advanced ones that need complicated formulas. The database-based triggers automatically execute when an event occurs in the database (when an entry is inserted, updated or deleted from the database). The application-based triggers are related to the Dot Net Nuke module in the Internet Information Services (IIS) service: the moments when the module is started or ended (a machine or server restart) or when a http transaction begins or finishes. On user created trigger is based on database triggers and it fires when a new user is created.
What are the misfire instructions?The time-based triggers can be missed if the module is not running (it happens in the real world: power off, crash, machine restart, etc.), when there are no free threads to execute it or when the task is already running. Two options are available for the moment: ignore the missed task ("Do nothing") or execute it when the module is ready again ("Fire now").
Follows the Triggers layout:
As you can see, the triggers can be added from the "Add new trigger" dropdown button, where the triggers are grouped by their category. The triggers can be disabled or even deleted from the right little buttons (no text, only the nice icons). The modifications will be applied only after saving them by using the "Save" button (it can be find at the bottom of the page, but also in the top right corner). You can even delete the entire job if you want by clicking the "Delete job" button, a confirmation dialog will follow. The triggers cannot be reordered for the moment, we see no use for this right now.

Please excuse any inconvenience while we gradually transition this site to its new look and user-friendliness - Kindly, Heidi
A bath is often
thought to
help baby calm down. However, this is usually not true,
especially not for a newborn.
The thing is that a bath can be pretty disturbing for such a small baby rather than relaxing.
Maybe being in the water feels nice, but that doesn't take long, and then they have to go through the whole undressing and getting dressed thing and by that time ... no more relaxed baby.
Also the idea that a baby, or child, or adult, will have a better night after a bath is a myth.
The relation between bath and sleeping is 'scientifically' not more than this: after a hot bath, the body temperature drops (from hot bath to out-of-the-bath). A dropping temperature is exactly what naturally happens with a falling-a-sleep body.
So, if you go straight from bath to bed and have no disturbing activities inbetween, yes you can fall asleep rather easily, but the relation stops there. It will not make the night longer.
And going to bed 30 or more minutes after the bath, there will be less and less effect, if any.

My Dad was a very patriotic man, he was a proud Veteran. There wasn't a Memorial Day, Fourth of July or Veteran's Day that went by that we we weren't reminded to stop, remember and recognize our Freedom and especially those who served and died for this incredible right we have.
During our growing up, he was the leader in the neighborhood Fourth of July Day Parade. He'd walk out front and all the neighborhood kids on their red-white-and-blue decorated bikes would follow closely behind around the block singing "It's a Grand old Flag" and other such patriotic tunes. When the military representatives would sit outside the local grocery store looking for a donation in exchange for the little flower we always stopped...the very small price we paid for our freedom, these men had given so much more.
My son was the first grandchild. He and my Dad were very close. Since my Dad wasn't in the best of health, my son and I spent a lot of time visiting his VA doctors and the VA hospital with him. His last weeks were spent in a VA Hospital. They took very good care of him. We now have another reason to be so thankful to this country. They cared for my Dad and my kids' "Pa".
When he died there were military representatives at the graveyard. It was a very powerful and emotional moment as they folded the flag above the casket and handed it to my brother. I had never experienced this military tradition and it's a moment I will never forget. He would have been standing extra tall that day, bursting with pride.
So I am proud to say that if you ask my children what Memorial Day, the Fourth of July and Veteran's Day mean they will not tell you the beginning of Summer, Fireworks or a day off school.
I did not ask him to put his hand on his heart...he did that all on his own...

Social Impact Evaluation
Impact Evaluation of the work or projects implemented by a for-profit, non-profit or public organization through Social Return on Investment (SROI) methodology
Social Return on Investment (SROI) represents a way to measure economic, social or environment value produced or damaged by the organizations activity or projects. In a SROI analysis, the amplitude of the value produced or damaged is based in part on the perception and experience of the stakeholders, in part on the observable indicators of the change registered. Where possible, a SROI analysis permits the monetization of that change, which means that a ratio between the investment and the resulted value can be calculated.
The keystone of the methodology lays in the seven principles to be observed:
- Involve stakeholders.
- Understand what changes.
- Value the things that matter.
- Only include what is material.
- Do not over-claim.
- Be transparent.
- Verify the result.
"Value the things that matter," or the monetization principle is unique to the SROI approach and includes the use of financial proxies and monetization of value. It is based on the assumption that the price is a proxy for value.
The use of monetary proxies to measure the social, economic and environmental value has the following benefits:
- it facilitates the alignment and integration of the performance management system with the financial system;
- it eases the communication with internal stakeholders, especially with those responsible for finances and resource allocation;
- it induces transparency through the clarification of the values included and those left aside from the analysis;
- it leads to the identification of key resources of value, thus streamlining performance management.
The disadvantage of using these financial proxies is the concern that monetization allows comparison of the end number at the expense of understanding the actual method by which it was arrived at. Such comparison is highly irrelevant.
As it informs the decision-making process on optimization of social, economic and environmental impact of an organization, the use of SROI analysis could assist to reduce social inequality, environmental degradation and to improve the quality of life of individuals and members of the community where the organization conducts its business.
Depending on the objectives of the SROI analysis, it can:
- take many different forms;
- be carried out as an in-house exercise or it can be led by an external researcher.
- be brief (for internal purposes), or a full report (for external stakeholders) that meets the requirements for verification.
Depending on the moment it takes place, there are two types of SROI analysis:
- evaluative – conducted retrospectively and based on already established outcomes, and
- forecast – it predicts the level of social value that is created if the intended outcomes would be achieved.

|2 questions about apr_poll
|Mon, 02 Feb 2004 08:29:20 GMT
Hi all, I developed a library which let you connect to N sources, writes a request and reads the responce, using apr_poll. I have 2 questions about 2 problems I'm trying to solve. The first is a design question: in my method I open N sockets, set the option APR_SO_NONBLOCK and timeout X (otherwise connect fails), connect them, write the request, create a pollset with the flag APR_POLLIN for each entry and then I call apr_pollset_poll. In your opinion is it ok, or I should set the flag APR_POLLIN | APR_POLLOUT for each entry and then write or read when apr_pollset_poll retuns? The second question is about apr_pollset_poll timeout. I set the option APR_SO_NONBLOCK (I want no blocking IO): in this way apr_pollset_poll returns when only a part of the output from socket Y is ready. So I'm inside a while and I call apr_pollset_poll untill all the output of all sockets is ready or timeut expires. Is the timeout of apr_pollset_poll global, or each time I call apr_pollset_poll it starts again? If it starts each time, how can I make it global with APR_SO_NONBLOCK socket? Thanks Regards --Marco

We were pioneers in finding diamonds not only in kimberlites but in other, non-kimberlitic rocks, such as alkaline basaltoids, picrites , Alpine-type ultramafic rocks , and some others.
Diamonds in non-kimberlitic volcanic rocks.
Diamonds in ultramafic rocks.
Since then several lamproitic, diamondiferous deposits have been discovered and identified in Australia, India, and the USA. A very uncommon, shoshonite-absarokite-picrite association- diamondiferous body, the Karashoho pipe was also discovered in Uzbekistan (Golovko and Kaminsky, 2010.).
A new model of formation was created for 'metamorphic' diamond deposits in Kazakhstan (Pechnikov and Kaminsky, 2008).
We continually apply our prospecting techniques in the search for new diamond deposits within existing and new areas, regardless of the type of diamond deposit.

If you don't want the coffee table to be the focus of the room choose one with a glass top and a finish that blends with others in the room as in this example. This will keep the eye interested in all the items in the room not just one layer of the design. Coffee table metal bases with glass tops are another good choice to keep rooms feeling open. They're also great when you have a special rug and don't want to block views of it. Keep your glass cleaner handy though as there is no way around fingerprints.
Solid tabletops usually have a very square corner. If you have little kids or the circulation is tight allow extra space at the ends so it's easier to get around the corners without hitting your shins. Go for color with an upholstered coffee table as it will draw people to the surrounding sofas and chairs. Top it with a tray to hold books and other items (and to soften a strong color such as the pink).

If you could only eat one food forever, chicken would be better than beef in terms of taste

|Debate No:
Hello there. I would like to thank those who have provided the tools that we can use here on debate.org so that this debate can happen. This is my first debate here, and to be honest, this debate is more of humerous practice than anything else.
Well, for one, just because beef has more flavor than chicken, doesn't mean it unable to be "customized", how about you think of this way: Beef has higher base flavor than chicken, which means it has a higher potential flavor than chicken. It depends on the leanness of the beef on how much of the savory flavor the beef has.
Americans eat around 50 billion hamburgers a year and eat about three each week(1), but we hardly even see people eat chicken sandwiches other than you, Kilk1. If that many hamburgers are eaten each year, then why would anyone want to live on chicken for the rest of their life?
There is an entire website called Beef - It's What's For Dinner(2), what kind of websites support chicken?
If I were to summarize Con's response into a few points, I would come up with this:
1. Food has a base flavor. If meat A's flavor is higher than that of meat B, then meat A has more overall potential as to how gustatorily pleasing it can become.
2. Americans eat an average of three hamburgers per week. Chicken lacks such statistics.
3. The fact that there is a website known as "Beef - It's What's For Dinner" further verifies that people prefer beef over chicken.
If I left anything out and/or misrepresented you, Con, please let me know. Although these points may appear good at first, I will reference a wise saying from long ago: "The first one to plead his cause seems right, Until his neighbor comes and examines him."(1)
In regards to the first point, I disagree with the concept of base flavor. Rather, my view is that there are various different flavors that give food a manner of uniqueness. For example, there is sweetness, savoryness (the category beef falls in), saltiness, etc. Instead of having just one of these great flavors, with chicken, one is able to, by means of creativity, allow chicken to fall into all these categories, a feat more difficult for beef to accomplish. Why have only one flavor when you can enjoy them all?
As for the second point, your reference had no mention of chicken, only how much beef is eaten. Statistics actually reveal that people do eat more chicken than they do beef in the US now.(2)
And for the third point, citing websites supporting beef and chicken is somewhat subjective, but very well. Not only is chicken liked, but there is a website showing it to be beginning its own religion.(3)
Thank you for your time, and I await your response, Con.

You can't prove chicken is like paper, though. And like I said, the leaner the beef is, the more savory it is. So if you want you beef more bland, get less lean beef.
If you only have one meat for the rest of your live, then you wouldn't be able to have herbs, spices and sauce because they wouldn't count as the same food and would count as vegetables.
This entire debate is about an opinion anyways. So there is no way to prove which meat is better. Beef is more expensive too so it would not be bought as much. I never said Americans eat more chicken. I said only that Americans eat 50 billion hamburgers each year. Americans don't seem to eat that much chicken sandwiches except you. Regarding the website, they are not really any good websites for chicken, but they are several good websites supporting beef. That religious chicken website is small and looks generic.
This is what I see is a summary of Con's last argument:
1. Pro (myself) cannot prove that chicken is like paper (in the sense that it is more customizable).
In regards to Points 1–3, look at it this way: Foods can have various flavors through seasoning. (As to whether seasoning can fit into my proposition's scenario, we will see later.) And lean meat contains "little or no fat"(1), making it less flavorful, not more.(2) And even though some beef is more bland than other beef, they both still would have more, "preinstalled" flavor than chicken. Since there are different flavors (savory, sweet, salty, etc.), it's harder to change something that already has some flavor dictated. It's that simple. For example, it would be difficult to make an apple pie taste salty, savory, etc.; doing such with chicken, however, is considerably easier.
1. http://www.merriam-webster.com...
Okay, lean means lack of fat, but you haven't proved that 100% lean beef would have would still have "preinstalled" flavor. But it doesn't matter weather or not beef has "built in" flavor because the proposition doesn't say outside foods or spices are allowed, it just says chicken would be better than beef for the rest of ones life in terms of taste. So it would be beef with no seasoning versus chicken with no seasoning. Since beef already has flavor (assuming the fat isn't removed), beef has savory flavor while chicken is just bland and flavorless. Which flavor would you rather have for the rest of your life more, bland or savory?

State Farm® is here to lend a hand where we can with support, tips and inspiration. We have partnered with Huffington Post to create helpful and motivating content that supports you throughout your life. Check out the original video on The Huffington Post.
How Young Entrepreneur Helped Immigrants Build Their Businesses
Deepti Sharma Kapur has always loved helping her community and thought that going to law school would be the best way to continue to make a positive impact. Instead of following that path, Deepti changed her career after some inspiration and started a business: FoodtoEat.com.
While thinking about her next steps in life and career choices, she describes the moment in college when the idea came to her:
'I was waiting in line at a food truck and I was waiting for about 30 minutes, and all I got was a peanut butter cookie. How is it that this is the only way for me to access what this food truck is selling?'
After talking to different food trucks and small vendors, Kapur realized two things: 1) Many did not know how to use technology to grow their businesses 2) A lot of the food truck owners were immigrants looking to start somewhere — as a daughter of immigrants with an entrepreneurial spirit, she felt a strong connection and wanted to help.
Now 28 years old, Kapur's research and heart for the community have turned her food ordering small business into a company that connects over 900 local food trucks, restaurants and vendors with corporate clients.
Beyond helping small food trucks and businesses connect with companies, Kapur and her company also mentor the youth to learn code and bring their fledgling business ideas to life.
In this video, Kapur shares her journey to building this company and gives career advice to help you lead a successful career outside of one's typical first job.

The Dow and S&P are in record territory and most patient investors have recovered their losses from the Great Recession. Smart investors, who kept putting money in throughout the dip, have been rewarded handsomely. People who panicked and pulled their money out of the market, recorded huge losses and then missed the recovery. This is what separates investors from amateurs.
Invest Before Spending
Most rational people realize they need to save and invest part of their income, but very few do it on a regular basis. There are lots of reasons why people spend all of their money, but the result is always the same. People who fail to save will always live paycheck to paycheck. It's important to dedicate at least 10% of your net income to your future. Invest before you spend any money or pay your bills. Otherwise, your paycheck will disappear and you will have earned nothing for yourself.
Invest with Confidence
I have been investing for 27 years. I have seen Black Monday, the Asian Currency Crisis, the Dot-com Bust, the Flash Crash and a couple of recessions. I am still confused, confounded and misled by the market, just like everyone else. The difference is that I stay focused and invested, instead of panicking. I would have loved to have been out of the market during these downturns, but I wasn't. So, the only logical thing to do was to keep investing and profit from the rebound. Maybe, I will predict the next big downturn and move my investments to a safer location. But, I won't be doing it in a panic, after the market has crashed.
Invest with Patience
One of the hardest things for me to learn as an investor was how to have patience. The markets and investments never seem to do what they are supposed to, especially in the short term. There are years at a time when the market is overvalued and people are buying overpriced stocks in a frenzy. There are times when good companies and industries have fallen out of favor. There are times when people are too scared to invest, while stocks are a bargain. Most important, there are companies with good earnings and a low stock price. Over the long haul, the ups and downs average out and the stocks of good companies will go up.
Invest with Intelligence
Opportunities come quietly and they are often missed by those investors who are reactionary. No one comes on the financial news and shouts, "Google and Apple are going way up in the next five years." They only come on TV after the fact and act like they knew it all along. Since there is no crystal ball that can predict the next Wal-Mart, investors need a reliable method to separate the future winners and losers. I prefer good fundamentals to hot tips and technical indicators.
- Revenue Growth (> 10%)
- Return on Equity (> 15% )
- P/E Ratio (< 10:1 )
The Bottom Line
The bottom line is that anyone can invest part of their income and everyone should. There are an unlimited number of fears and excuses, none of which will make you wealthy. Invest some of your income for yourself and your future.
"The individual investor should act consistently as an investor and not as a speculator."
Benjamin Graham – American Value Investor

Proud artisan shoemakers – Deborah, Claudio and Giancarlo with Magnus in the small family workshop where many Italigente shoes are made today. Using premium French calfskins, blake/rapid stitched and polished to perfection. The lasts are made with some extra "room" giving a good fit. It takes passion, time and skills to make a pair. It's a manual work that involves more than 200 processes. Without being passionate about it. It would be a mission impossible. If you ever travel around Marche region, please let us know, and we'll be very glad to show you what it takes to make good quality shoes. In the next Italigente website under construction we'll take pride in showing more about the making of our shoes, and why we find them very special. Please hold out for another month or so.
Merry Christmas!

Where to Start…
OK, so I've been tweaking away at my site for about a week now, trying to work out what themes I want to use and how I'd like to lay out my content. And, I've kind of got it how I think it looks good. It looks good. I think it looks good. Now, I step back from it and look at it from every angle, and it looks good. But then I turn around and I realize that I am the only one looking at it! I guess now I have learnt how to make the blog, now I need to learn how to use the blog?
Maybe I need a valid point to make when I start to write a blog entry, but today my valid point is that I need to learn more about how to push my blog into the eyes of my readers…It should surely be second nature to someone such as myself who uses pretty much every social networking site with such a fevered addiction…but it isn't!
I guess I have some more exploring to do….

BT/Openreach 'split' plans
Blighty's telco regulator Ofcom is expected to flesh out its proposals to force through a greater separation of BT and Openreach next month, The Register understands.
Back in February, the regulator stopped short of recommending spinning off BT's Openreach, instead saying BT must open up its network to competitors and reform Openreach. ®
