How a Film Becomes a Best Picture Nominee
As the movie awards season gets under way, there's a question hanging over the best picture Oscar race: How many nominations are up for grabs?
In a surprise move in June, the Academy introduced a twist in the best picture voting procedure that will result in anywhere from five to 10 nominees -- the number won't be known until noms are announced Jan. 24. A tacit acknowledgment that the broader field of 10 nominees the past two years yielded a few ringers that weren't quite Oscar-worthy, the new rule has introduced an element of uncertainty that has Oscar campaigners approaching the season with even more anxiety than usual.
Accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers reran the votes for 2001 to 2008 using the new rule and found five to nine nominees emerged each year. To arrive at this year's nominees, PwC will use a simplified variation of the preferential voting system used in other categories (though understanding it is another question altogether). The Academy's 5,755 eligible voters will fill out a best picture ballot, listing five choices in order of preference. Bottom line: A picture that gets at least 9.1 percent of the first-place votes is guaranteed a nom. And after the votes are redistributed (see chart), movies that have collected at least 5 percent of the available vote also will make the cut, while a few that might have made it in a field of 10 could fall out.
Got it? Well, neither did we at first.

On Friday's "Morning Joe" on MSNBC, former Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX) made an appearance on the heels of his presidential announcement a day earlier and discussed his candidacy for the Republican 2016 nomination.
During the discussion on the program, Perry explained that despite his missteps during the 2012 race for the GOP nomination, he could "recast" himself and cited former President Bill Clinton's rebranding for the 1992 presidential campaign after his infamous less-than-stellar effort at the 1988 Democratic National Convention in Atlanta, GA.
"[A]nyone who has done this more than once is recasting themselves," Perry said. "I'm pretty sure that Bill Clinton had to recast himself after his rather disastrous speech at the Democratic convention. So everyone does that. We've spent a lot of time in preparation for this moment. I knew that if i was going to be a legitimate candidate, give myself an opportunity to be successful, I had to spend substantial time in preparation on monetary policy, domestic policy, on foreign policy. We've done that. I'm ready to stand on the stage."

Forward-thinking brokers and attorneys alike should see large-scale, high-stakes deals as a team sport—and play to win
Newark, NJ (PRWEB) February 08, 2017
When attorneys leave their egos at the door and work with brokers as a team on commercial real estate deals, they are more likely to deliver better results for their clients, advises David C. Freinberg, a shareholder in national law firm LeClairRyan, in a Feb. 2 column published by GlobeSt.com.
But that doesn't mean it always works that way.
"In my 30-year career, I have run across plenty of lawyers who, perhaps out of arrogance or shortsightedness, deemphasize collaboration," writes Freinberg, who is based in the firm's Newark office. "Operating as though they were being handed a baton in a relay race, they essentially say to the brokerage team, 'Thanks. I've got it from here.'"
In the column ("There's No 'I' in 'Lease'"), Freinberg notes that giving short shrift to collaboration is a mistake, especially when it comes to large-scale deals.
The former LeClairRyan CEO, who returned to his real estate and corporate practice at the firm last year, cites a deal in which he worked closely with his client's broker to help a Fortune Global 100 company negotiate the lease for its U.S. headquarters. "The negotiations were lengthy and complex," Freinberg writes. "Fortunately, the broker I worked with was outstanding. We worked closely to dig into the details, structure the economics of the transaction and carefully consider business issues as they affected legal considerations in play."
The teamwork involved huddling with the client's businesspeople to develop solutions that ultimately led to a very positive outcome, Freinberg writes. "By contrast, a silo-style approach ('I'll take it from here') would have sharply limited the amount of knowledge, as well as the multiplicity of perspectives, available to the client," he noted. "Why do that?"
In the column, Freinberg advises that neither brokers nor their clients should accept a truncated relationship with the legal team. When attorneys and brokers collaborate, they make each other's jobs easier and raise the overall quality of strategic analysis and intel, he explains. "If you get a sense that an attorney you plan to work with fails to appreciate the value of collaboration, think carefully about the potential implications," Freinberg counsels.
After all, brokers bring market intelligence to the table, he notes. "When the negotiations get heated, for example, a good tenant rep can honestly say to the prospective landlord, 'Listen, I live and breathe this market and am aware of a number of other viable sites. Your property is not the only game in town,' " Freinberg writes.
On the landlord side, a good broker understands how well or poorly competing properties in the marketplace are actually performing; has a realistic grasp of tenant expectations; and knows the prevailing concessions typically demanded by tenants and granted by landlords in the marketplace, Freinberg says.
Meanwhile, the attorney needs to bring a lot to the table as well with respect to legal and negotiating skills, creativity, efficiency, technological savvy and other value-adds, Freinberg advises.
"Simply put, an unwillingness to collaborate is a red flag—a sign that the lawyer could be stuck in an old mentality based on maximizing billable hours rather than competing through superior service and providing value to the client," he writes in the conclusion to the piece. "Forward-thinking brokers and attorneys alike should see large-scale, high-stakes deals as a team sport—and play to win."

Ray Burmester Riding Boot Pendant
Includes solid sterling silver 45cm chain
One of New Zealand's most respected goldsmiths, Ray Burmester has been handcrafting his elegant works of art for more than 30 years. Dedicated to creating treasured keepsakes, Ray has established a range of equestrian jewellery, complemented by contemporary designs, that is beyond compare.
Applying the tried-and-true method of designing and handcrafting each individual piece without the use of computer-aided design (CAD), Ray hand-makes each master in Sterling Silver and personally hand-finishes every piece of jewellery. While this classic method is more labour-intensive and time-consuming than the modern way, it renders a far superior product, setting Ray's pieces apart from other contemporary jewellery.

Investigation of CT based planning and beam intensity modulation methods to improve dose uniformity throughout the patient while improving sparing of organs at risk during total body irradiation
Total body irradiation (TBI) is a radiotherapy technique used as part of the conditioning regime prior to bone marrow transplantation, a procedure used to treat a variety of diseases including aplastic anaemia, malignant lymphoma and various types of leukaemia. TBI is conventionally delivered with a static, large field unmodulated beam, but with CT-based planning and beam modulation techniques, improved dose uniformity and reduced dose to organs at risk can be achieved. The goal of this project is to produce a modulated arc therapy for TBI that can be implemented using existing equipment in WA hospitals and clinics.
As with all radiation therapies, TBI regimens are associated with acute and delayed toxicities. With improvements in delivery techniques, the number of long term survivors is increasing, however, long-term pulmonary, thyroid, and ocular complications are still common. Any advancement in TBI delivery techniques that reduces the radiation dose to key organs within patients will reduce the likelihood of such conditions. For this reason, research continues into the role of irradiation parameters, notably treatment position and beam energy. This project aims to advance TBI treatment in WA towards an arc-based intensity modulated radiotherapy technique, improving dose distribution to bone marrow and reducing dose to healthy tissue.

Finding the Best Companies to Work For
Choosing the best company to work for can be quite difficult. Without the correct research, you may find yourself working for a company that does not share either your work ethic or has policies that you may find difficult to adjust to. How do you go about finding the best companies to work for?
Fortune Magazine
Every year Fortune Magazine lists the 100 best companies to work for. This is a very good place to start. Of course, not all 100 will be a good fit you any one potential employee but these are companies that have a policy of making their employees happy in the workplace. This is a great way to find out which companies are hiring, which are near to you and which ones pay the best. Wegman's Food Markets have been in the top 100 for 18 years and in 2015 it is number seven.
One interesting fact is that of the top 100 best employers, 11 actually pay 100% of employee healthcare insurance. The article also tells you how many employees that companies hire worldwide and what their growth was over the last year. You can see the percent of women and minorities whom they hire and also if they allow employees to telecommute or job share.
A few internet companies have made the list including Google, Intuit, Quicken Loans and Twitter. Among the 100 are businesses in the healthcare field like St. Jude's Hospital and MayoClinic, established companies like L.L. Bean, Whole Food, General Mills and Edward Jones and hotel groups such as Four Season, Hyatt, Marriott, and Kimpton. This article certainly is a good place to start your search.
If you happen to be looking for a job in the UK, the Times Online has a list of the 100 best employers in the UK. The list is really interesting as it tells you exactly what field the company operates in. In case there are some whose name you don't recognize. There is no point in applying for a job from a company who isn't hiring in your field. This is a great article, it also includes the best 25 large companies.
If you happen to be a working mother, this website will help you to find the best company for working mothers. There are also lots of other information about women and the companies that they can choose as their employer.
Pull out your address book or your email list, or even better check Linkedin and use your contacts to find out everything possible about any company you are considering working for. This is also a good way to find out about companies you may not have considered. The best way to find out the latest scoop about a company is to talk to current or recent employees. Be sure to have your latest resume ready to go.
Finding the best companies to work for can take a little research and a little networking but if you do your homework, you will find the perfect place for you.

Unemployed people and the poor are not the only ones suffering from the recession. What about people trying to get a yearly income of at least $10 million? An editorial in the Wall Street Journal reports that in comparison with 18,394 filers reporting income of above $10 million in 2007, there were a "mere" 8,274 filers in 2009. And they paid "only" $54 billion in taxes, an average of $6,526,468. Have some compassion, everybody!

Open Thread: Talk About What Matters Most to You
Discuss and debate the issues that mean the most to you.
In its natural state, my hair is pin-straight, fine and dishwater blond. Until I was 15 or so, I wore it the same way, a bob of some sort just beneath the chin, sometimes bangs and sometimes not. I slept on it wet. If I was coerced by my mother into doing anything special to it, I would blow-dry it upside down whacking at it with my hair brush. There was no art to my styling. There was no product applied. There was my hair down and weird-looking or pulled back into a ponytail, a corona of bland strands resting on the top of my severe half-bun.
I never felt beautiful. I just didn't. When I finally chopped off my hair about three years ago now, it was intensely liberating. I had no choice but to confront my own face AND, bonus points, I got to quietly say "fuck you" to the notion that the only kind of beautiful that exists is long-haired beauty.
I come from a family of people with beautiful hair. It's remarkable hair, the kind that people go out of their way to describe in novels. I'm pretty sure one of my brothers has broken a comb in his thick hair. The other can easily be strawberry blonde and when he's out in the sun too much, he gets a bleached-out white hue that is insanely gorgeous. And then there is my sister. She has mountains of naturally wavy do-nothing-and-go thick auburn hair. People don't usually go to war over women's beauty anymore (and I wouldn't support it if they did) but if I learned that my sister's hair had caused an international incident, I would almost be not surprised.
In hindsight, I can absolutely admit that chopping off my hair and rejecting contact lenses was a step I had to take in order to make it clear that I was no longer willing to work so hard to turn myself into an idea of beautiful that had nothing to do with me. But now, years later, I find that I don't want to embody a philosophy — I just want to look like me.
"Does that make sense?" I asked my therapist. She said it did, and I believe her. She, as someone who once also had short hair and then grew it out, did offer some other sage words. "No matter what you do, for a period of time, you will have a mullet." She's not wrong, it's already begun.
I told the dude I am dating that I was going to grow it out, and he crowed with Rufio-esque joy. To his credit, he had also been drinking, and promptly followed up this expression of glee with a fervent proclamation as to his appreciation of my person. I tried warning him that he would probably be disappointed with the results. "Here, look," I said and scrolled through photo after photo of me with long hair.
These were all pictures that, when they were taken, I'd been so upset by. Now, going back to them, the only thing upsetting or alarming about the pictures is how different I look in each image. It is like I am constantly searching for a version of myself that feels comfortable. Even my pixie cut photos look that way to me. I don't see a bold empowered woman, I see a terrified girl on the brink who knew that if she kept hiding from herself she'd run the risk of disappearing forever.
When my sister got married this summer, it was the first time, really, that I'd had to do something "formal" to my pixie cut. My sister's friends and my two best friends were also in attendance, all of them like goddamn mermaids or horses or some shit with their luxurious manes. Don't get me started on Lindsey, whose perfect curls make me want to slap her, except for that she is also the greatest. While everyone else was getting dreamy waves or soft romantic updos for the June wedding, I mumbled something about finger waves and the 1920s to a stylist who only half-understood what I was saying. She ripped a chunk of skin out of my head, coated my entire dome with stinky gel, and left me looking not unlike Albert Nobbs, which is fine, had "repressed Irish cross-dresser" been the look I was going for. This was not the case.
I looked in the mirror and thought as I left the salon, "Man, I would KILL for long hair right now." Maybe it was the mild head-wound left by my bloodthirsty stylist, but it was a notable moment because for the first time since I'd chopped off all my hair, I was missing the length.
The funny thing is, lately I've had long hair in all my dreams. This happened right after I cut it all off, too, only then they were (hilarious) nightmares. I'd realize in the dreams that my hair had grown very long overnight and I'd spend the whole dream trying to find some place where I could get it cut. They were dreams I'd forget almost immediately after waking up, remembering them only when I felt my bangs hit my eyebrows and made an appointment for a chop. Each Halloween, I'd make it a point to be someone whose hair was a focal point: Lady Godiva, Rapunzel, and this year Medusa. Hair was to me, still, a marker of how I'd failed at being beautiful. My hair was one more way in which I'd failed the test of being acceptably desirable. So I feigned brazen self-acceptance and kept feigning it until I meant it, a little.
In the past, I'd cut and color and curl and spray and pin in the hopes that I could fool, not just the world at large, but myself into thinking that I was someone who could understand, categorized, and appropriately filed away. Cutting off all my hair was my way out of a game I felt like I'd been playing for way too long. I worry now, growing it back, does this mean I'm backsliding, losing what little confidence I've managed to muster? Does it just mean I'm bored and craving something new? Does it mean that I'm ready to maybe believe that part of me is beautiful? I am hoping for the last one. And if that doesn't work out, I am pretty sure I'll look baller with a mullet.

So anyone who has or is adopting knows that once you start the adoption process, your wardrobe suddenly becomes more about adoption t-shirts then anything else, LOL
I LOVE getting new adoption shirts, not only because they're awesome, but because I can help support another family trying to bring their child/children home forever!! You HAVE to check out Kim's blog!! She and her sweet family are fundraising to bring home not one but two little girls from Ethiopia. They are selling these awesome shirts, and can I just say I LOVE them!! I just finished ordering one for myself :) and I can't wait to get it.
Kim is also hosting an awesome giveaway, so be sure and check out her blog!! All kinds of neat things going on :) I am secretly hoping I win the necklace she is giving away!! I just love it.
Hope ya'll are having a great week. I have the next 4 days off, so here is hoping I can find my way through the tons of boxes sitting in my house since we moved!!

It must have been total insanity…. that is all I can say. Whatever possessed me to do this? Oh my God, do I need certifying for what I did?
You see, everywhere I go about my diabetes or rheumatism, all the doctors, nurses and consultants say, is swimming is the best exercise of all.
Deep down I would love to be able to swim… I did try once before but the instructor lost his patience because I wouldn't come out of the baby pool, that he eventually told me, 'Sit on the beach and get a tan and totally forget about swimming.'
But the truth of the matter is I am what you would call a 'Two stroke, three bubbles and a funeral' type of swimmer. I have such a phobia about water, it is truly unbelievable how nervous I get even when on a boating lake that is probably about two feet deep.
Anyway to cut a long story short, we are off to America next year and for one simple moment I thought I would surprise my husband by learning to swim. But as the lessons are on a weekend, I think he would start questioning me about where I was going, so I had to tell him. That was it…
Straight away he was on the phone. Yep you guessed it, booking me lessons.
Oh my god what have I done… next time I will keep quiet about taking the plunge… because right now I feel like a wobbling Chiver's jelly at the prospect of going on these lessons.
Who knows perhaps, I will turn into a 'Three strokes, four bubbles, and a funeral swimmer'. 😀

In the August issue of Direct Marketing Magazine Kristi Kanitz offered a resounding affirmation of the future of Direct Mail… of course, she is the general manager of Flagship Software LTD….
First of all, I want you to know that I totally believe in Direct Mail — but I want to be responsible. So let's take her points, one by one.
1. Direct Mail Information Service reports that 63% of recipients read the direct mail they receive. What was the year of that report? Who did they survey?
2. DMA reports in their 2013 Factbook that 65% of recipients have made a purchase as a result of DM… again — what years does this cover and who are they surveying?
3. She cites Kent Dove's "Conducting a Successful Fundraising Program" (2001) as reactivating as many as 50% of a recently lapsed donor file through direct mail. Seriously — I really want to see the history of that study and if anyone reading this blog has had those results recently, I'd love to chat. Granted, we have had significant results in reactivating lapsed donors. But unless the file is extremely small and the recency is within 12 months, 50% is a pipe dream.
4. Studies consistently show DM to perform higher than email — no question there…. just don't expect a 50% response rate. Plus, we have had 50% open rate for many of our emails to very targeted groups and with a clear offer.
I can go on…. read the article for yourself.
But I want to caution direct mail managers to take care when a series of extreme percentages are tossed out…. ask questions. DM as a critical component of any fundraising strategy. Frankly, Barefoot uses direct mail in promoting our own product. But we do it with our eyes open, understanding our client, our audience and the industry standards.

NAIROBI: GAFCON Anglican Bishops Say They Will Cross Boundaries in Defiance of Any Archbishop
331 bishops say they will recognize Anglicans in places where Biblical faith has been compromised
GAFCON is effectively a province, says Dr. Peter Jensen
GAFCON will not break fellowship with Canterbury
By David W. Virtue in Nairobi
October 25, 2013
In a bold move designed to maintain unity in the Anglican Communion, 331 orthodox Anglican archbishops and bishops meeting at the Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON) conference in Nairobi said they would recognize Anglicans in places where Biblical faith has been compromised.
The bishops resolved to expand their leadership in supporting and recognizing such Anglicans and voted without dissent to recognize and oversee theologically isolated Anglicans including the Anglican Mission in England and similar bodies around the Communion.
"We came to Nairobi seeking God's guidance for the future. Should we stop? Should we slow down? The bishops told us we must go on," said Archbishop Eliud Wabukala, Primate and Chairman of GAFCON.
The General Secretary of the Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans, Dr. Peter Jensen said the problems of the communion in the 21st Century were articulated by Archbishop Justin Welby who argued for the "contextualization" of homosexuality last week, a position repudiated later by Jensen who said sex could only be recognized between a man and a woman in marriage. The clash between the two men revealed how deep the fissures are in the Communion. "This conference, this movement, is not just calling attention to the dysfunction (caused by Welby) it's about building for the future."
It is now apparent that the de facto schism in the communion, precipitated by Dr. Rowan Williams and his failure to enforce Lambeth Conference Resolution 1:10, will only continue under Archbishop Welby.
Asked at a press conference if GAFCON is now a province or aiming to become a province, Dr. Jensen said it is not a legal province, but it is a province metaphorically, but not in a legal sense. "We are held together in fraternal fellowship." The Diocese of Recife, for example, needs a province, he said, "but yes we are effectively a province."
Dr. Jensen said GAFCON would not break with Canterbury, but argued that the Office of Canterbury has not been the same since Lambeth 2008 when 300 orthodox Anglican bishops were no shows. "I have immense respect for the Archbishop of Canterbury personally and for the office of the ABC. Welby is the first among equals, but he no longer has the drawing power and the views he aired last week here confirmed that."

Gigatrees includes special handling of profile photos for individuals as well as other images for sources, source references and events. Profile photos will be included on both the Photos page and on individual profile pages when the path to the photo is browsable. Other types of images are included on the source pages if they are defined or referenced by a source, and appear elsewhere otherwise. Details for photos and images are included on their tooltips. On the Photos page hover over an image to view the tooltips. Click on any of the links that appear in the tooltips to view the photo on the person's profile page, and click on any photo to view it using the FancyBox plugin that is loaded in the default Metadata Header.
Gigatrees recognizes several methods for defining photos and images along with vendor specific GEDCOM extensions for each.
Profile photos are defined by configuring a multimedia logical record (
OBJE) and then referencing that record by an individual or family, or by defining an embedded multimedia record (
OBJE) as part of an individual or family. When multimedia records are defined or referenced as part of a family, they will be included in the profile photos for the family's husband and wife only, not their children. Multimedia records support the GEDCOM tags:
"FILE.TITL" and
"TITL". The file path can be set using either an absolute disk path, an absolute web path or a relative path. If the path does not end in a browsable photo extension ("png", "jpg", etc.) it will be interpreted as a URL instead.
Gigatrees supports several optional vendor specific mutlimedia record fields including:
_PHOTO - used instead of the
"OBJE" when embedding photos or images
_FILE - used instead of the
"FILE" field to include the path to the photo image
_TITL - used instead of the
"TITL" field to include a photo title
_PIC - used to include the path to the thumbnail image if there is one
_CAP or
_CMNT - used to include a caption
_SUBM - used to include submitter information
_NOTE - used instead of the
"NOTE" field to include photo notes
_PLAC - used to include photo location information
_DATE - used to include photo date information.
The above tags can also be added to your GEDCOM file, or if you prefer, without modifying your GEDCOM file by using the Append Records option.
Source images can be defined using a multimedia record as described above or by using a
"URL" tag with a path having an image browsable extension. Other types of extensions are treated as URLs. The vendor specific
"_PIC" and
"_TITL" fields are supported. The example shown uses relative paths.
0 @S1@ SOUR 1 URL /folder/pics/1790-census-ny-ny-ny.png 2 _PIC /folder/pics/thumbs/1790-census-ny-ny-ny-thumb.png 2 _TITL 1790 U.S. Federal Census, New York City, New York, New York
In the above example,
"_WEB", and
"_LINK" tags can be used in place of the
"URL" tag.
_WEBTAG record is also supported for defining source images. Web tags use the
"NAME" field for the image title, and the
"URL" field as described above.
0 @S1@ SOUR 1 _WEBTAG 2 NAME Photo of my Uncle Walt 2 URL c:/folder/pics/walt.png 3 _PIC c:/folder/pics/thumbs/walt-thumb.png
The Images option includes three separate path fields, Profile Photos, Source Images and Thumbnails that can be configured. The strings you configure in these path fields will be prepended to paths found in your GEDCOM file. So for instance if you wanted to view the images containing an absolute disk path ( c: ) in an offline tree, you would add
file:// to each of these path options. This would allow your absolute paths to be viewed in a browser. You will need to make sure that the Hide Local Links option is disabled under Security, it is enabled by default. If your GEDCOM file uses relative paths like "/folder/pics/walt.png", and they were included in an adjacent folder, for example, then you could add
file://.. to the paths to make them viewable offline. If you were using relative paths and were viewing your images in an online tree, then
http://domain.com/path/to/photos could be used in the path options to remap them for viewing. If, on the otherhand, you need to remap absolute paths, then you would need to use the Replace Text option to strip your absolute path making your paths relative.
Depending on how unique the absolute paths in your GEDCOM file are, you may be able to leave the path options empty and do all the remapping using the Replace Text option. If you are publishing your tree online and cannot or do not want to remap your local photos, then you can enable the Hide Local Links option under Security to remove all absolute links to both photos and URLs. Relative paths will not be affected by this option. It may be best to use absolute paths in your GEDCOM file so that you can more easily decide later to either remap them or hide them.
When thumbnails are not provided, default images are used instead. The default images are located in the installation's assets folder. You can replace these if desired. Gigatrees provides a Force Thumbnails option that will, when enabled, hotlink the original image as its own thumbnail. No thumbnail files are created, the original images is simply shown with reduced dimensions. If you have many images on a page, this can result in slow page load speeds since each original photo must be loaded. This option does not effect profile photos as they are always hotlinked to forced thumbnails when no thumbnail is present.

Midas Awards Grand Jury Spotlight Interview: Gregory Yates
The Midas Grand Jury is instrumental in selecting the World's Best Financial Advertising. This all-star jury of award-winning creative executives is recruited from the most prominent agencies and corporations in the world of financial advertising. They come to the judging table with enviable experience, brilliant creative chops and dedication to the industry.
This week the Midas Awards shines the spotlight on Gregory Yates, Chief Marketing Officer for RICG®, an NYC based agency focused on modern analytics, journey personalization, creative and neuroscience marketing applications. In his 20 years in the industry, Mr. Yates has built new brands and rescued stale brands falling out of vogue.
In the interview below, Midas spent a few minutes with Gregory. Keep reading to find outhis thoughts on the biggest challenge to working in financial advertising, his views on how the industry has changed, what inspires him and what he'd be doing if he wasn't working in advertising, and much more.
Midas Awards: What is your opinion of the Midas Awards? What makes the competition stand out?
Gregory Yates: The Midas Awards is one of the most competitive events to participate in on a global scale and across cultures. The judges are global, diligent, non forgiving and talented strategists themselves, therefore they understand the attributes that qualify what makes a campaign great and worthy of praise against its peers regardless of region.
Midas Awards: Can you comment on the international reach of the Midas Awards?
Gregory Yates: We are in a global economy and I define being the best by competing against the best which to me makes the awards even more valuable and exciting top win. Competing on a global scale is exciting and running against other cultures is a wonderful learning experience for brands. One can get insight into strategy, their storytelling approach, the evolution of technological advancement, or lack thereof across the globe from like brands that are all ultimately trying to achieve the same types of objectives.
Midas Awards: Why did you agree to participate on the Midas Awards Grand Jury?
Gregory Yates: I love what the Midas Awards celebrate and on a global scale. It enables financial services brands to enter their works and truly compete in a global economy making the win even more spectacular.
Midas Awards: What do you look for when determining whether a campaign is successful and award-winning?
Gregory Yates: Do you understand the real attributes and needs of the audience you are targeting. What audience analysis was conducted prior. Does it makes sense and is it aligned to the DNA of your brand. Does it tell a story? Is it clear, is it compelling, is it articulated well, is it creative, does it emote and does it have an intangible wow factor. Does the creative depict a story in itself that aligns with the overarching message. How did you leverage technology, or if traditional media was used what was the approach. What goals were you trying to achieve, did you achieve them and how was the campaign optimized over time. Lastly, does it make me think "what a great idea, I should have come up with it."
Midas Awards: Is it difficult to judge work from other countries around the globe? What are the challenges and benefits?
Gregory Yates: Great work is great work and transcends cultural differences. The only challenges is being versed in the specific vernacular of the particular region, or slang used and current pop, or subcultures or the cultural events taking place real-time. The benefits include seeing a diverse set of creative communications and what works across the globe in each respective regional marketplace.
Midas Awards: What's the biggest challenge to working in financial advertising?
Gregory Yates: One of the larger challenges is breaking down the walls of legacy thinking within larger organizations and proving more technologically inclined programs can drive vast results. Even though brands may convey they want to experiment, they quite often will remain reserved. As it pertains to reaching audiences, many aspects of the business are commoditized and your value proposition has to stand out and resonate authentically with fickle audiences to initiate a conversation turned conversion. With the increase in personalized communications the feat in one respect can beneficial, but also daunting in building a complex multi-layer communications strategy.
Midas Awards: How has financial advertising changed since you started working in the industry?
Gregory Yates: The industry finally began embracing new, more cutting-edge methods in advertising that include content, 360 degree video, social, edgier design and more integrated storytelling approach. Additionally, as data became more widely available, brands started shifting from pushing a forced brand message, to better understanding their audiences' needs and building campaigns with solutions surrounding those individual needs to further engagement. Furthermore, brands are starting to even further understand the power of human emotion and employ neuroscience techniques to craft more personalized communications.
Midas Awards: How has technology impacted creative in the financial advertising industry? What brands have utilized technology in a unique way to attract the digital consumer?
Gregory Yates: The proliferation of technology continues to significantly change the landscape, and has event changed the marketing paradigm for Financial Services. From data, to new storytelling tools and formats, to analytics, to distribution channels, to the ability to communicate faster with your audience, automation tools and more. In one respect technology is a facilitator, but in the other overwhelming with all options and capabilities not to mention the vetting and testing process. Technology has created a new matrix and those who grasp and harness its power will prevail. At RICG, technology is enabling us to create extremely personalized communications with the use of Neuroscience techniques which better understands the emotions of audiences, their sentiments and overall motivations towards brands and their product set. Brands utilizing technology include: OppenheimerFunds, AmexOpen, Schwab, Citi and Venmo to name a few.
Midas Awards: What's on the horizon for financial marketing and advertising?
Better use and understanding of data and how to use it to further customized communications especially as everything is becoming connected and more personalized in real-time. The use of neuroscience, and applied "on-the-go" biometrics to better understand emotions, sentiment and motivations of clients in real-time to increase targeting capabilities and further insight into attribution modeling and client value models. Marketing more towards Millennials and Women investors as both cohorts are incredibly impactful and already are/becoming high-value customers.
Midas Awards: What is your favorite financial advertising campaign and why?
Gregory Yates: OppenheimerFunds "Invest In A Beautiful World." I love what this campaign emotes. It tells a story of optimism, juxtaposed with beautiful/bold imagery and intelligent copy that conveys the principals of the brand, its investment philosophy, but also intrigues the mind. The campaign is a thought catalyst and gets viewers to imagine the importance of natural upstream elements in relation to the more popular downstream components. Additionally, the experimental, and experiential, use of Neuroscience to better understand their audience, in concert with storytelling technology, to convey the brand's communications surpassed the traditional status quo in financial services.
Midas Awards: What inspires you?
Gregory Yates: People. People are fascinating and their individual stories can wonderfully inspire. Art. All forms of art (visual, audible, etc) is creative, isn't safe and can take you on an emotional journey and out of your current consciousness which opens your mind to thoughts, ambitions, excitement and passion. Possibility. Living with the notion that everything is possible is quite inspiring. It removes boundaries, or perceived limitations and creates a feeling of excitement that no matter how arduous the task, there is the ability to strive and attain.
Midas Awards: What would you be doing if you weren't working in advertising?
Gregory Yates: Sitting on a beach drinking a Corona… Seriously, being originally from the music industry, I'd still find myself in a storytelling capacity. As much as one may consider what we are doing as purely advertising, I believe we are underwriting the evolution of advancement in technology, communications et al. Furthermore, I'd find myself spending more time writing books, further studying neuroscience and producing music.

" No man can truly be called great until he has partaken in something greater than himself", so the saying goes. Today on the blog we are talking to an inspirational woman who is doing her bit to make the world a better place by reaching out to the less privileged in the society. Olanrewaju Olayode is a teacher and school administrator who discovered her passion for children and has worked very hard since then to bring smiles to the face of less privileged kids around her. Aunty Lanre as she is fondly called is the founder of the Aunty Lanre Initiative, she is also the Co-founder of LITTLEDROPS organization, a charity foundation that specializes in reaching out to kids in poor neighbourhoods and orphanages, and which has coordinated charity projects like the NEED CENTRE, a project that provided essential items for about 100 kids in Ibadan, among many others. We talk to her about Aunty Lanre Initiative's latest project, the Ibadan Orphanage Tour.
Well Aunty Lanre, if I may call you that, I am pleased to have you here
I am pleased to meet you too and I hope I enjoy my time talking to you.
Let us start this off by talking about the Ibadan Orphanage tour, what it is about and how it all came about
That was two questions you asked there, but I'll try and pick them one after the other. What the Ibadan Orphange Tour is about. The Ibadan Orphanage tour is an initiative where people have a chance to give back to the less privileged in this case Orphans. Every Saturday, starting from the 8th of August and ending on the 26th of September 2015, we will be visiting an orphanage per week, that is a total of eight orphanages for eight weeks. The event is open to anybody who wishes to participate and to make a difference in the lives of these young children. Also part of the features of the project is the fact that two popular people, celebrities if you wish, will join us on the trip to the orphanages every week, that is a total of sixteen of them. Also each trip will be between 11am and 1 pm, so that whoever has any other thing to do can be excused, because we appreciate the fact that people often have plenty of things to do on weekends. I guess that is like a summary of everything.
To your question of how this all came about as someone who is passionate about charity and charity organizations, I am constantly thinking of opportunities to help people. So on this particular day, I was in the house when I suddenly started to feel some ideas taking shape in my head. I got a pen and paper and began to write down the ideas, the more I wrote, the more it flowed by the time I finally stopped writing, I saw the vision that became this project so clearly that I knew that this was not the work of man, it was God clearly giving me instructions about what I must do. This has been my attitude towards this project since then, that no matter what happens, come rain come shine, this thing must be done. If the word has gone out, I have no choice but to obey.
You talked about some famous people in Ibadan who have offered support and promised to join you on your tour, can you tell us the names of some of them
Of course I can, but I might not be able to tell you the names of all sixteen of them, because we are still trying to fix a convenient time to suit some of them, but I can confirm that Mike Abdul, Fabulous Pizzy, Jazzy B, Midiva, Olumide Olufemi have promised that they will join us for the tour. Ronke Giwa of Splash FM and Peteru should also join us, God willing. Perhaps if you stay in touch I'll let you know as some other famous people we are talking to give their word to be present at the event.
Wow! Great work all round, now let us talk about the event itself, you have chosen Orphanages as your focus, what are the things you want to achieve with this Orphanage Tour project? What are the the things you hope to see in the lives of the people you have visited by the time this tour ends in September?
Well it goes without saying, that I hope to help them to get some material things they lack. But more importantly I want to be able to make a difference in the values of these kids. The thing is that society does not pay much attention to orphanages, there is little or no attempt to impart important values that help in character development into their lives. Most of these kids don't have the sense of direction which kids in stable families usually have. Some of them might have an idea of what life is about, but they don't really know some things matter. Let me give you an example I used to visit an orphanage home every Tuesday, and whenever I gave them something I taught them to say thank you. Then i discovered that anytime I gave them anything, they would thank me. That was something they had learnt, which they regarded as important, so little things like that actually matter something as simple as courtesy could go along way in making their lives better. That is part of what we are looking to do with the Orphanage Tour.
Do you see this Ibadan Orphanage Tour as the beginning of a trend, something that will create a buzz that other people that will encourage other people to do the same thing? In other words, do you see yourself as a "trend setter" so to speak?
Yes I think so, for instance, a friend of mine recently contacted me about the tour. That and also that he needed my help in starting out a foundation to help the less privileged similar to ours. A lot of people think it is easy to do charity work because they have seen people like me do it. It looks easy for me because I regard it as something that will be done with or without human help, and so I just do it without thinking of the problems or obstacles I may face. So to your question, yes I see myself creating a consciousness in people that they need to be up and doing to make our society a better place. To add to the example of my friend that I talked about, in my church, I now have a lot of people coming to talk to me for ideas on charity organizations and doing projects and to encourage me about the work I am doing. So in a way I am unconsciously jolting people out of their seats to do more for people who dont have the essential things that they need. Because I have come to discover that deep down people have a sense of responsibility to their society, but sometimes they need someone to show them the way
Now let me bring you back to the famous people you have invited to give back to the society. the "celebrities" that you have mentioned seem to have a leaning toward the church/Christianity. Was their faith a factor in your decision to pick them for this project ?
Well firstly, They are people that I know. More importantly they are people that have the understanding of the real essence of the tour, people who will put their all into the project and not just their money, because the purpose of the tour is higher than just giving the children material things. i need people who share the same mindset that I have about this project. Let me give you an example, one of the homes I visited is run by a woman named Evangelist Aminat Something, I can't remember her other name now. I had no way of telling whether she is a Christian or not. But the most important thing is that she has an orphanage home. That means she has the same mindset that I have and thus she is part of the people I want to work with. Moreover, these names just came to me as I thought about this project, thus I want to believe that these people were not just selected by me, they were selected by God because they have something they want to achieve with the kids they are visiting. By extension I say that every one who is interested in making a difference in the lives of kids, religious or political affiliation regardless is welcome to join us
There is no doubt that this project is a lot of work, and it involves a lot of planning. how will you cope and combine your job and your other personal affairs with this enormous project
Well first of all it is not the first time I would be doing a project of this nature so I could say I have experience in this kind of thing. So this is in a way a piece of cake for me and not the "enormous work" you seem to think it is. Secondly I have a team working on this project, they are my friends and associates, people that have the same mindset that I have about the Tour, and everyone of them have been allocated roles and they know their responsibilities. Thirdly the tour is during the August/September break, so there is relatively less work for me in the office. And finally, this is God's own project. Yes we have made our own plans but I am not losing any sleep over how the project is going to go so no there is no strain at all.
This project is extremely laudable, but so far it seems the buzz is only on social media. Dont you think an event like this should be publicized it on traditional media like Radio or Television, for those who are interested but do not use Social media?
To that I will say now is not the time for that this is a project God has created himself it is not for my benefit, so I don't need "validation" from human beings to get it done. So shouting it from the rooftops is not top priority for me right now. So with or without Radio or Television, God's work will be done and that is the most important thing.
It has been really inspiring talking with you, and we hope to talk to you again about the Ibadan Orphanage Tour and your other projects
You are welcome, and I and the members of the team hope you could also find time to join us on the tour.
If you wish to support the project or you want to learn more about it, You can contact Lanre Olayode on +234(0) 816 6325461 she is on Twitter and Instagram @AuntyLanre or send a mail to her on email@example.com

Jordan Edwards, Another Victim of Police Violence
Police violence against black men has struck again in North Texas. This time, Jordan Edwards, a 15 year-old freshman in high school from Balch Springs, a near suburb of Dallas' southeast side, was shot to death by Roy Oliver, a six-year veteran of the Balch Springs Police Department.
Late Saturday night, April 29, neighbors reported to police that a house party had gotten too loud, and they asked the police to come and check it out. A short time later, Jordan Edwards was shot dead with a rifle.

Greens Stand for Justice in Palestine
During Israel's celebration of their 50th anniversary as a nation there will be a festive spirit within the Zionist realm. Not so among the Palestinian people, where apartheid has swept away hopes of a self-governing future without a serious reset of political policy, both in Israel and in its patron state, the United States.
At the heart of the Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands is a movement that has been institutionalized, Zionism.
It seeks to claim the lands that consist of what religious Jews believe were given to them by God, called the "Promised Land" in the vernacular of their religion. Its origin is in the Jewish religion, but it does not stop there.Read more
March for Science - Fort Worth (updated)
The March for Science in Fort Worth was held on April 22 along with similar demonstrations all over the U.S.
Tarrant County Green Party members, along with an estimated two thousand others, gathered on an uncharacteristically cool and very windy April day to stand up against severe budget cuts, the panning of decades of important scientific research, and a growing preference for opinion and political ideology over facts.
The festivities began around noon as people made their way to a hilltop parking lot at UNT Health Science Center on Camp Bowie Blvd. Hunkered against the building and each other to protect themselves from the cold wind, it appeared there might be some who wished they had stayed at home.
But, the crowd grew, and sincere excitement and a firm conviction about the cause replaced all concern about the elements.Read more

By Judge Patrick
There is a rodent problem at Redskins Park. One mouse, the father, has a proven track record of success, both offensively and in the win column. The other mouse, the son, has Chris Simms' initials tattooed on his ankle. You want to guess which one is in charge of the offense? I'll give you a hint; he has a tattoo of another dude's initials on his ankle.
I woke up Sunday morning worried that John Beck would be the reason why the Redskins would lose to a 1-5 Panthers team. Instead, 3 coaching decisions, that I still cannot comprehend, went a long way into sending the Redskins home 3-3, and into a possible tailspin.
Some people say that you cannot mix business and pleasure, nor business and family. By doing so, you are inviting, and opening yourself up to a whole new set of problems and questions. This is what I think Mike Shanahan faces come Monday morning.
Now before I so eloquently make my point, I will state that the Redskins defense, for the second week in a row, has looked like the defense who aspired to suck into next dead last place last year. And the defense didn't exactly help the cause, when it came to yesterday's efforts. But I'd like to point out some interesting coaching decisions, that for the most part, were made well before the game got out of hand.
3 decisions, at 3 different points of the game, went a long way into determining the outcome of this game. If Mike Shanahan had final say on all 3 decisions, then his status as a "genius" needs to be re-evaluated. If he didn't have final say on these decisions, and his son Kyle did, then I'd like to know (especially if I'm Dan Snyder) just what he's getting paid $7 million dollars for. Let me explain as I go McLaughlin Group on you.
ISSUE 1!: 2nd quarter, 0:36 to play in the first half, the Redskins have the ball at their own 31 with 1 timeout. This situation gives you two ways to go in my opinion. Take a knee and go to the lockerroom tied at 6, getting the ball to start the 2nd half, or take your chances down the field, and see if you can steal some points before the half.
On 1st down, the little mouse decided to take a shot down the field, which fell incomplete. Fair enough, shot taken. On 2nd down, with even less time on the clock and still just 1 timeout, whoever is in charge of play calling decided to run a quick slant towards the middle of the field, which in this situation will net you 10-15 yards at best, and it will force you to call your last timeout. If Gaffney doesn't fumble there, what are you left with? 1st and 10 from your own 40, no timeouts and maybe 17-20 seconds left? But Gaffney did fumble, Carolina then kicked a FG to take the 9-6 halftime lead, and in my opinion a huge momentum shift.
They took a shot on first down and came up empty. At that point, you swallow your pride, take a knee, and go into the half tied 6-6, knowing that you are getting the ball to start the second half.
ISSUE 2!: Going for it on 4th and 2 from the Carolina 40, on the Redskins opening drive of the second half. Some might say that if you can't get 2 yards, you don't deserve to win. I say if your coaches can't figure out that you are only down 3 early in the 3rd quarter on the road, you have a defense you claim to be good, a guy playing QB for you that hasn't started a game since 2007, and a punter that has been all world the first 5 weeks of the season, you punt the ball and play for field position.
And if you are so inclined to go for it in this position, I'd take my chances doing the only thing that you had done consistently to this point in the game, which is run the god damn ball! I would not run back to back plays out of a shotgun formation when I only needed 2 yards. But that is exactly what somebody in charge decided to do, the second resulting in a 7 yard loss as Beck was sacked. Two plays later the Panthers scored, and the Redskins now trailed 16-6. That's now 10 points that were thrown away to end the 1st half, and start the 2nd.
ISSUE 3!: 4th quarter, 5:05 to play. With all 3 timeouts in hand, having just gone 80 yards in 10 plays in 3:08 to score a TD to make it 30-20, the idea of a onside kick was presented, and unfortunately approved. The Panthers, like the rest of the world, were caught off guard when the Redskins lined up in a onside kick formation and burned their last timeout.
At this point I said to myself, "Way to go rat face, you just made them burn their last timeout!"
Unfortunately, Shanny and Co. lined up for another onside kick, one in which Carolina was prepared for, and Carolina recovered it.
I honestly can't think of a good reason to go onside there. It's a 10 point game, there is 5 minutes left, you have all 3 timeouts and the 2 minute warning. Gano is good for a touchback. You kick it off, let them start at the 20, and try to play some defense. I realize that the defense failed to stop Carolina most of the day, but why then would you give them the ball at your own 49 with 5 minutes to play and down 10, instead of their 20 and down 10?
And spare me the "what if?" scenarios. Onside kicks are a low percentage play, and I just don't see how this situation called for that desperate of a play. It was stupid, end of story.
There certainly is an argument that the Redskins defense (or lack thereof)was the reason they lost on Sunday. But I still think those first two coaching decisions went a long way in sealing defeat. I have been a big supporter of the Shanahan regime, but I cannot give them a pass for those decisions today.

Minecraft is incredibly overrated, and a bad game in the midst of all of that. Let me explain, as a game developer, I know how you should make a game. Minecraft has many people working on it, yet Terraria manages to have more content and in my opinion, manages to be more fun. But, asides from comparisons, Minecraft is a game where you start off in a grass area, graphic wise, not that beautiful, not really my type of art style. You chop trees down with no physics, you mine, the game is really quick to complete, and honestly, you need to have mods to have it come close to fun.
Quick Note: Please don't take offense if you actually like the game, this is my opinion, and I respect your opinion.

[UPDATE] The premiere of CBS "Thursday Night Football" drew an average audience 20.8 million viewers making it the second highest rated show on TV behind only NBC's "Sunday Night Football."
The size of that audience for the Ravens 26-6 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers is a big victory for CBS on a very large gamble that viewers were ready for another weeknight of primetime football.
CBS is charging advertisers the second highest ad rate on TV, $500,000 for a 30-second spot, by promising the Thursday night games will draw 20 million viewers combined with the simulcast on the NFL Network.

Penn State To Offer Course Examining The Ethical Impact Of Sports In America
Penn State will offer a one-credit course analyzing the societal and ethical impact of sports in America beginning on Feb. 21 of the spring 2017 semester. The class, titled "Is Football Immoral and Other Questions in Sports Ethics," will examine "big-time sports" from a critical perspective, as well as look at how sports are shaping American culture.
The class will consist of eight sessions on Tuesday evenings; students should be ready to read one or two articles before class and come prepared to engage in discussion. Professors from different disciplines (namely communication arts and sciences; labor and employment relations; women's, gender, and sexuality studies; African American studies; English; philosophy; and law) aim to provide students in the class with different perspectives on the issue. Additionally, students will interview former athletes and sports representatives during some of the classes.
This new addition is the latest course offered by Penn State that attempts to specifically analyze a timely issue or current event. One course in the recent past that has addressed this type of issue was a course offered in the summer of 2014 that examined the implications of the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. Another course discussed the impact and significance of Donald Trump's presidential bid.
Since it's a specialty course, you won't find "sports ethics" in the course catalog. Rather, interested students should send in a statement of interest here and wait for a response via email. Students can find the course on LionPath under "Liberal Arts 297."

I'm running a day late on the Saturday Weigh In update. It has been a long week. We've lived in our house for 10 years now, and I'm so sick of white walls. Especially since rearranging furniture and seeing all the marks and nail holes in the walls.
The Hubs and I agreed on a gorgeous red from Menards called Red Gumball. What I have learned is that it takes 4 coats of this red to cover the current walls.
Then there was a deal of not being able to buy more paint and going through it so quick, plus running the kids to their craft classes at Michael's.
I did manage to exercise Monday through Friday. I have just been using the stationary bike, because the TV the Kinect is hooked up to is on the floor in the middle of the room. I'm hoping to get the walls and trim done so the TV (old CRT..heavy beast) can go back in its spot.
I did pretty good. Monday I went out to dinner and a movie (The Heat) with a friend. I ate bad and had a few cocktails, but it was well worth it and very much needed! Otherwise I tried to stay on track. I did make these yummy mini cheesecakes with cookies in the bottom so that was a little tempting.
This Week's Weight 159.8 lbs.
1.4 lbs. Gain 🙁 I wasn't happy about it, but know a lot of it is from feeling stressing this week. Next week I'm mostly less scheduled so hopefully the body relaxes a bit.
Less than a month until school starts and then it's The Boy's 10th birthday. That's all making me a little crazier than normal. It'll get done!
