A Philosopher at the IPCC
By John Broome email: email@example.com White's Professor of Moral Philosophy and Fellow of Corpus Christi College, Oxford John is a British ethicist and economist. His most recent book is Climate Matters: Ethics in a Warming World
Published May 20, 2014
Climate change is a moral problem. Each of us causes the emission of greenhouse gas, which spreads around the Earth. Some of it stays in the atmosphere for centuries. It causes harm to people who live far away and to members of future generations. Moreover, the harm we cause, taken together, is very great. As a result of climate change, people are losing their homes to storms and floods, they are losing their livelihoods as their farmland dries up, and they are losing even their lives as tropical diseases climb higher in the mountains of Africa. We should not cause harms like these to other people in order to make life better for ourselves.
It is chiefly for moral reasons that we inhabitants of rich countries should reduce our emissions. Doing so will benefit us—particularly the young among us—to an extent, but most of the benefit will come to the world's poor and to future generations. Our main reason for working to limit climate change is our moral duty towards those people.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recognizes that climate change is a moral problem or, to use its cautious language, it raises ethical issues. The authors of the IPCC's recent Fifth Assessment Report therefore included two moral philosophers. I am one of them. I recently returned from the Approval Session of IPCC's Working Group 3 in Berlin. This was one of the most extraordinary experiences of my academic life.

First Earth Day: April 22, 1970, NBC News
A look at different demonstrations and celebrations of the first Earth Day, April 22, 1970 from around the country. The clip ends with a quote from Jay Murray Mitchell of the American Geophysical Union who warned (in 1970) of increasing levels of pollution which could lead to a greenhouse effect within the next 200 years and extensive global flooding caused by the melting of the Arctic Ice cap.

When Did Earth Day Become So Irrelevant?
Today is Earth Day, April 22, 2014. Like most Earth Days these days, a few grey-haired environmentalists may take note of the event, celebrities will tweet meaningless platitudes like Daryl Hannah's exhortation that we should all "love your mother," and college students will have celebrations at their campuses emphasizing individual consumer choice and the pursuit of sustainability through better technology. When did Earth Day become so irrelevant? Continue reading

Applying for a Ph.D. can be a very stressful process and placement is highly competitive. Your application letter can often be a deciding factor when admissions boards sift through piles of resumes. The application letter gives you the opportunity to showcase your passion, talent and drive. When writing a letter expressing your desire to join a Ph.D. program, there are some important steps you should take to improve your chances of admission.
Before you write the letter you will want to research the university, the department you are applying to work for, and the professors who might be overseeing your graduate work. Johns Hopkins University advises doctoral candidates to read the school's website and articles about the department, determine their core values and goals and research the industry they want to eventually work in. You will want your letter to demonstrate that your values and goals are in tune with those of the university. This will help you stand out as being a good fit for the program.
Your introduction should have a professional greeting, a few sentences introducing yourself, and a reason to continue reading. Michigan State University reminds students that your letter is ultimately trying to convince someone to accept you, and knowing exactly what they want will help your chances. After researching the school you should know what the department wants in its doctoral students. Briefly state something about yourself that reflects the standards they seek.
Dissertation and Career Goals
Though they tend to be more common in the UK, if you are seeking to enter to a U.S. program and already have grant funding, there's a chance you'll need to submit the research proposal used to apply for the funding along with your application. Your letter should mention the proposal and state the topic and research aspects you wish to pursue in a Ph.D. Onati International Institute for the Sociology of Law states that the research proposal is the most important part of your Ph.D. application letter. It showcases the field area where your passion lies, how you think critically, and depending on the current research being done at the school you are applying to, it could fit into an area undergoing research by its faculty. If this is the case you can name the professor you wish to work with.
Finish Strong
Be sure your letter ends on a strong, positive note. Just as you started with a powerful introduction, you will want to end with an equally powerful conclusion. Just be careful not to brag or come across as arrogant. Name-dropping, in moderation, can be another way to empower your conclusion if you state who mentored your previous academic growth. Finally, don't be afraid to ask for an interview. Show the program you are confident in your worthiness and they just might feel inclined to agree that you are worth meeting.

Head and neck cancer is currently the seventh most common worldwide, but there is currently no biomarker available which controls the response of patients to therapy.
Saliva and blood is possible to detect the presence of DNA of head and neck cancer, which can be used to improve the treatment and monitoring of people with this disease.
A team from Johns Hopkins University tested saliva in a group of 93 patients with head and neck cancer and the results suggest that a simple blood or saliva analysis could enable the detection and monitoring of head and neck cancer.
"In our work, saliva tests appeared to be the best approach to detect cancer in the oral cavity and the blood seemed to find more cancers of the larynx, and oropharynx. However, the combination of a blood and saliva test can be the best for cancer in any of these areas," confirms Nishant Agrawal, one of the authors.
In their study, the analysis of both fluids reliably detected cancer in 96% of samples from 47 patients with head and neck cancer, while the analysis of saliva alone was able to detect cancer in 46 patients. Many at Madison Street Capital found this study pretty interesting.
Although it is known that these types of tumors shed DNA fragments in fluids like blood, saliva, and urine, levels are so low that make it difficult to detect. But in recent years, technological advances have allowed for minute mutations to be found in body fluids.
Currently, tests cost several hundred dollars to detect head and neck cancer, but blood and saliva tests could reduce the costs to less than half a dollar.

Study Finds Housing Discrimination against People in Wheelchairs and People who are Deaf
Study Finds Housing Discrimination against People in Wheelchairs and People who are Deaf
A report by the Urban Institute, Discrimination in the Rental Housing Market against People Who Are Deaf and People Who Use Wheelchairs, reveals that people in wheelchairs are more likely to face discrimination in the rental housing market than similarly qualified apartment seekers who are not in wheelchairs. The study also found discrimination against people who are deaf or hard of hearing.
The study used paired testing to detect discrimination. In paired testing, two people with similar characteristics and qualifications, including age, gender, ethnicity, race, and assigned income and wealth, are paired together with the only perceivable difference being the characteristic to be tested. For example, a long-term wheelchair user was matched with a tester of the same age, gender, and race but who was ambulatory. The pair respond to the same advertisement to determine whether they are treated equally.
The researchers conducted tests for discrimination against people in wheelchairs in 30 metropolitan statistical areas (MSA). Only 43.8% of advertisements for privately owned rental housing in these markets led to units that were accessible by wheelchair, meaning that both the building and an available unit were accessible. MSAs with a larger proportion of rental units in large multifamily buildings of 10 or more units and a larger proportion of rental units constructed after 1990 had a higher proportion of accessible units.
The paired tests found that housing providers were 1.7% less likely to make appointments with wheelchair users. When appointments were made with both testers of a pair and suitable units were available, housing providers were 2.4% less likely to tell the wheelchair users about the available units. When housing providers told both testers about available units and where they were located, the providers were 3.1% less likely to show the units to the wheelchair users. In some paired tests, the housing provider told the person in a wheelchair that a rental unit could not be shown because it was occupied. The tester without a wheelchair was shown the unit. When units were shown, people in wheelchairs were 2.8% less likely to be shown at least one unit without housing quality problems.
The paired tests for deaf or hard of hearing users were conducted remotely, using one of three types of telecommunications relay service. The tests covered 168 MSAs. Deaf or hard of hearing apartment seekers were 5.1% less likely to be able to contact a housing agent. When both testers of a pair were able to speak with a housing agent, the deaf or hard of hearing person was 2.3% less likely to be told of available units.

as sent across the U.S. And by the time you've finished reading this piece, 90% of the messages sent have been read. If those sentences are all you ever read about the messaging space, likely, they beg the question: What do I need to know to best reach my customers, in the right space, now? Messaging as a Platform (MaaP) is the paradigm shift in the way businesses and consumers are set to interact on messaging.
Messaging as a Platform includes all spaces where messaging occurs, from social spaces, like Facebook and Twitter, to messaging apps, WhatsApp and Kik, and, of course, SMS (texting). The space has grown enormously and it's become a platform with extensive opportunities to create personalized reach. You can think of MaaP as another way companies can build and use apps within a message to reach customers. Though the words "chat," and "messaging" can be used interchangeably and cause some confusion, the platform for reach encompasses any messaging space, whether it's branded as "chat" or "messaging."
MaaP isn't new, per se, businesses have been courting customer personalization on mobile for over a decade via text messaging with the likes of discount offers, appointment notifications and reminders, or as added security verification. But the means to access users, advancements in how businesses interact and the enormity of the user-base is what's currently compelling innovation toward apps and marketing within the space. As it relates to SMS, some mobile operators have started moving from SMS when operators rolled-out "Rich Communication Service," (RCS). With the advent of this service, businesses have more options for increased personalization, though to date, SMS is still the most widely used protocol.
Additionally, messaging apps, such as Facebook Messenger, have opened their doors to third-party developers to create services within messaging apps as a substitute for apps outside of it — such as checking the weather or your bank balance.
With a rich and diverse means of accessing consumers, it can be challenging to know how to calibrate. Starting with these three broad strokes are a best practice approach to adopting a MaaP strategy:
According to GSMA's MaaP Report , if you're not shifting from your current Application-to-person (A2P) texting to a MaaP "advanced messaging" technology, you may be missing out on value and revenue, and lose revenue if you continue to interact with your customers solely by A2P SMS. Start by increasing your A2P service and communication strategy now to best position your business and customers for this migration.
Currently, users are forced to download different apps in order to communicate on each app. What's more, it can be challenging for new players to enter the messaging space, which is dominated by a handful of brands. But instead of a competitor or vendor mindset, businesses and providers will need to adjust to a more linear relationship so that the Messaging as a Platform landscape is more user friendly for its end-users — customers. With a shift in partnering and access, a brand chatbot used in one space for one purpose, down the road, can be accessed more widely across the platform.
Lest this stroke is too broad, you can think of it as a synergistic system where both platform providers and businesses work concurrently to provide optimum customer experience while still remaining competitive within business models and structures.
Whatever your business model and budget is, entering the space is what's crucial. Gaining more information on users and user behavior can start whether you've added a chatbot to your service or you capitalize on human customer service now. Innovation within the space will continue to advance, but it's the end-user experience and information gathering here that's important now.
MaaP is the new direction and ecosystem going forward. This isn't just because of technological advancements, but most importantly because it lessens friction points in customer experience and increases serviceability.
From a quick cheer to a standing ovation, clap to show how much you enjoyed this story.
A further point to note is that even if you have enough participants, you need to make sure that they're classified correctly, and put into the right experimental group. Carrying out a study on bilinguals and monolinguals would of course be hampered if it came to light that some participants spoke one more (or less) languages than their grouping would suggest.classified
This is particularly pertinent in studies examining different mental disorders, in which the grouping definition could be unclear. For example, studies of anxiety may need to differentiate between participants who have been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder, or those who suffer from panic attacks, and even if participants exhibit subclinical / prodromal symptoms.
Ensuring that the sample is well-defined, and well characterized, before beginning the study will therefore ensure that the findings are relevant to the group of interest.Picking cherries, dredging data
While most of the selection biases occur before the data has been collected, there are several steps that occur post-hoc which are open to erroneous distortion. These steps instead to relate to how the data, rather than the sample, is selected.
Cherry-picking is undoubtedly a good way to prepare a pie, but is also the phrase given to the act of only selecting data that conforms with what the experimenter is expecting, or hoping, to see.Cherry-picking
This can occur due to malpractice , or perhaps wishful thinking on behalf of the investigator. Ultimately though, this leads to bad science either way. The investigator must remain open-minded to the contents of the data, and question how they are interpreting things. It may also help if several people (ideally independent) check the data of the study.
Similar to the above, data-dredging (also known as fishing for data, or p-hacking ) is the practice of only considering the data that is significant after the experiment, and inventing post-hoc conclusions for why that emerged. This usually arises when a large number of variables investigated, and spurious results can appear significant.data-dredging
By taking only significant variables from a dataset, this is essentially the same as running the same experiment multiple times, and publishing the one occurrence in which significant differences were found.
Experimental reproducibility is a particularly important tenet of science that should be maintained when there is a possibility of data-dredging. With enough replications , the research will be shown to be true or false.Trick splits
Finally, in a similar way to misclassifying the participants before the experiment, their data can be misclassified after the fact. Incorrect partitioning of data is a way of dividing, or not using, certain parts of the data based on false assumptions.

Sam Trammell ("True Blood") has joined the cast of indie crime thriller "Guns, Girls and Gambling," opposite Dane Cook, Christian Slater, and Gary Oldman.
Trammel will star as a no-nonsense sheriff who works alongside a corrupt sheriff, played by Cook. The film, which just began production in Utah, involves the search for a priceless American Indian artifact stolen during a poker game at an Indian casino.
Michael Winnick, who helmed indie thriller "Shadow Puppets," is directing from his own script. Freefall Films is producing and financing the project, which recently began shooting in Utah.
Trammell stars as bartender Sam Merlotte in HBO's "True Blood" which was just renewed for a fourth season and recently completed filming "The Details" with Elizabeth Banks and Tobey Maguire. He received a Tony nomination for his lead role in the Broadway revival of Eugene O'Neill's "Ah Wilderness."
Trammell's repped by Innovative Artists.

The first-year results of a new SUNY procurement program, aimed at shifting 5 percent of administrative spending to student services over a three- year period, has been lauded by university administrators across the state. But the same sentiment is not shared by many student activist groups critical of the Shared Services Initiative for ignoring their real concerns.
By combining several administrative offices within the State University of New York's 64-campus system that are in close geographic proximity, more than $6 million has been reallocated to the hiring of professors and an increased variety of academic program offerings statewide. Regional alliances formed in three parts of the state: Morrisville State College and SUNY IT; SUNY Potsdam and SUNY Canton; and SUNY Delhi and SUNY Cobleskill, have redirected more than $2.5 million to the hiring of more than 30 new full-time faculty members.
The Campus Alliance Networks' SSI was announced in August 2011 with the goal of eventually generating $100 million annually in administrative savings. The plan to apply these savings to additional student services was outlined in SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher's 2012 State of the University Address.
Zimpher thanked the members of the initiative for the "remarkable progress" of the program so far in a statement released Sept. 19.
"This is just the beginning as we continue to review where and how we can streamline our administrative costs and share best practices across SUNY," said Zimpher. "I thank the leadership at each campus for their dedication and diligence, and commend them for their collective efforts."
Administrative spending cuts ultimately chosen for elimination were left up to each regionally-based campus network, said SUNY spokesman Dave Belski.
"They know best where their strengths and weaknesses, and room for growth, are," said Belski.
Belski said one way universities are lowering administrative costs is through attrition of faculty. When one faculty member retires, Belski said, instead of making a new hire to replace them, another current faculty member is moved over to take the position.
"The intention is not to lower the SUNY workforce; it's to invest in areas that need more assistance," Belski said.
But student rights activist Sean Collins does not share the same support for the shared services initiative.
Collins, a spokesman for the activist organization New York Students Rising, has criticized the efficiency program because he said SUNY budget cuts and recent professor layoffs have already left universities understaffed and under-funded. He said administrative cuts are leading to longer lines at university offices, and delays in financial aid disbursements.

From the always interesting GreenUpgrader.com, here's a how-to for lessening that pile of newspapers in the garage. Designer Greetje van Tiem shows how she spins yarn from sheets of old newspaper. When spun tightly and woven into a mat-like structure, newsprint becomes quite strong and durable. Greetje uses it to make things like this cool rug, and also room dividers.
Click here for GreenUpgrader's step-by-step tutorial to learn Greetje's spinning method. Check out the comments section too, as there are lots of good tips - crumpling the sheets first, for example, makes them easier to spin.

Two students from the Wake Forest PA Program's Class of 2016
have been selected to receive Future Educator Fellowships from the Physician
Assistant Education Association (PAEA). The PA Program congratulates
second-year students Kelly Conner and Sara Orlowski, who will attend the PAEA
Education Forum in November in Washington, DC, to participate in an intensive
two-day student track where they will learn about different pathways into PA
education as well as about professional advocacy and research. Conner and
Orlowski will also be able to attend sessions about developing teaching skills,
building a curriculum, innovative instruction methods, and available resources
for future educators.
Sara Orlowski and Kelly Conner
In her application, Conner focused on what she sees as a
major issue in PA education: quality instructors to facilitate continued growth
of the profession. She wrote that "while the continued growth of PA programs
around the country is encouraging for a strong PA presence in meeting the
predicted need for medical providers, such growth also creates more demand for
qualified educators to staff these programs. PA programs are highly competitive,
and to remain so they must provide the highest quality instruction. Also, the
training is at most half completed in the classroom; there are additional
opportunities outside the traditional academic lecture hall for teaching.
Educators are needed to fill both the didactic and clinical teaching positions.
The shortage of clinical training sites will only worsen as new programs open.
This is why I view the recruitment, development, and retention of exemplary PA
educators to be an important issue that must be addressed and periodically
re-evaluated by the PAEA."
Orlowski described how she was a change agent in the past,
focusing on her first patient as a hospice volunteer: "She was the oldest
person I had ever met. She taught me about when iris blooms, how to make
creamed corn, and what teaching in the South during racial integration was
like. She rode in a horse and buggy when she was a child! She was not well
taken care of at her facility, and mealtime with the facility staff was
difficult because she had ongoing, severe abdominal pain and was a slow eater. I
learned after a few visits that she had food caked under her nails because she
had been left to eat alone. Arthritis kept her from using a fork. I felt very
awkward providing a hands-on service for this patient as just a volunteer, but
I couldn't let her hands remain so dirty. Cleaning her nails was therapeutic
for both of us. I poured warm water and some gentle soap into a basin and
washed her hands. Listening to the quiet drips of water from the sponge and the
gentle strokes of her soft skin made us both feel relaxed and connected. I am
thankful for this memory. I am thankful for what she taught me. I am a better
person because I knew her."
Students from more than 50 PA programs applied
for the Future Educator Fellowship, which was developed to enhance PA students'
understanding of medical education and academic careers in PA education. It
aims to foster professional development and leadership in future PA educators. Winners
of the Fellowship were chosen during a competitive selection process to be part
of the inaugural class attending this year's Forum and will receive a $1,000
travel stipend.

Fall Rendezvous
October 15-16, 2016 (please note date change!)
Once upon a time GCRG conducted Fall Meetings which were sort of a mini-GTS with some GCRG business thrown in. Eventually we realized that community building and just plain having fun with our river buddies has a ton of value, and the best way to do that after the river season is to get outside somewhere interesting, hike, camp and occasionally even boat with a few speakers along for the ride. So voilà – the GCRG FALL RENDEZVOUS was born! In past years we have hiked out at Marble View on the North Rim, we've camped on the esplanade at Toroweap, and we've enjoyed the gorgeous views from the porch of the Kane Ranch. REALLY FUN STUFF! So check out the information below for the upcoming GCRG Fall Rendezvous and sign up now. We hope to see you there!!
2016 Fall Rendezvous: Let's Find Our Park (South Rim Adventure!)
This year is the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service. Let's show our own park some love and head to the South Rim! Have you ever wanted to see the historic boat collection? Or check out split twig figurines that are anywhere from 2,000 to 4,000 years old? Or how about seeing John Wesley Powell's pocket watch (be still, my heart!!), or taking a guided tour of the fascinating Power House, a national historic landmark? Additional plans include an interpretive tour of the rejuvenated Desert View Watchtower, a stewardship project in the historic village, and a fun hike. And with any luck, we may get to meet our new Superintendent and we'll certainly forge new friendships with our park partners!
So save the dates (October 15-16) and let's go and "find our park" together! What an outstanding opportunity! As more details and logistics become clear, we'll post them on this page, so please check back.
The cost is $40, and you must be a current member of Grand Canyon River Guides. (Note: you're welcome to bring a friend(s) or "significant other" along; they just need to pay the fee). This is a fun community-building event, so join us! We look forward to chillin' out with you after a great river season!

Live Italian, Taste Modì®
Modì® is a rustic, unique and truly matchless new variety!
Sustainable, contemporary and informal: Modì® is the first red apple with a hint of yellow and a modern taste that enacts the perfect balance between sweetness, acidity, crunchiness and juiciness.
Originally developed in the foothills of Northern Italy, Farmington Fresh is proud to be the exclusive grower and sales team for Modì® in North America. We are excited to deliver Italian quality apples grown in American orchards.
Natural Cross
Modì® is a natural cross between a gala and liberty apple. The lineage gives the apples an unmatched eating experience that is unlike any other variety. In addition, Modì® known around the world for being environmentally friendly, NON-GMO and nutritiously healthy. Modì® is considered to be the first "Green" red apple variety.
A name inspired by art
The inspired name comes from the world of art, more exactly from Amedeo Modigliani, an artist born in Livorno and affectionately known as Modì® to his friends. He was famous for his portraits of women painted using intense red earth colours, just like Modì® red.

This week in transportation, the TSA backed off on a plan to reverse-screen flyers, a solar plane crossed the Pacific, and the Massachusetts House approved funding for high-speed rail. Here are the most important and interesting stories from the past week:
POLITICO: TSA's idea: end screening at some airports
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is walking back a proposal to end screening at some regional airports after receiving sharp criticism from Congress. The plan would have ended security screening of domestic passengers at some regional airports (though it didn't say exactly which airports), instead 'reverse-screening' those passengers once they get to a larger airport. Rep. Greg Walder (R-OR) said the plan "makes no sense," while House Transportation Committee Ranking Member Rep. Mike DeFazio (D-OR) said "it was never our intent that they would dictate who can and cannot have commercial air service."
Reuters: Most Americans support usage fees to fix crumbling roads -survey
Nearly two-thirds of Americans support the idea of roadway user fees to pay for much-needed transportation infrastructure repair, according to a survey by Kelton Global for transportation consulting firm HNTB Corp. This would likely be a pay-per-mile tax system like the kind that has been piloted in Oregon and floated elsewhere. The article notes that the gasoline tax has been "waning" because of fuel efficient vehicles, changing driving habits, and tax rates that haven't grown with inflation.
POLITICO: Mayors: Flint could happen to us
Following the Flint water crisis, nearly 1/3 of American mayors think they "may already have hurt their own citizens" by making cost-saving decisions on their city's infrastructure, according to a survey. Across party lines, nearly half of the mayors believe their roads, bridges, and water pipes have deteriorated critically, with transportation infrastructure topping the list of infrastructure concerns. More than a third said the next President should prioritize infrastructure, far ahead of economic inequality and education.
ABC: Solar Impulse 2, flying on renewable energy, has safely landed in California
Swiss adventurer Bertrand Piccard (a good name for a pilot!) has successfully flown a solar plane from Hawaii to California, completing the ninth of 13 legs in his trip around the world. The goal of the flight, on an aircraft powered by 17,000 solar cells and with the wingspan of a jumbo jet, is to promote alternative energy: Piccard believes electric-powered planes carrying up to 50 passengers over short distances, could be possible within the next decades.
Mass Live: House budget would create working group for Boston-Springfield rail, including look at "Maglev" technology
The Massachusetts House passed a budget this week that includes an amendment to create a working group that will study the possibility of high-speed rail between Boston and Springfield. Similar to a working group created several years ago to explore expanded rail service between Springfield and Greenfield, the group would figure out what work would need to be done, and how much it would cost, to develop high-speed rail from Boston through Worcester to Springfield. This would include examining the possibility of Japanese "maglev" bullet train technology. Passed out of the House, the budget now needs Senate approval.
Happy reading, and happy weekend!

Social Media Photo Clique
Note: all images below are examples of Social Media Photo Clique photos
"Facebook posts with images see 2.3x more engagement than those without images."
"Posts that include images produce 650% higher engagement than regular text posts."
"Visual content is more than 40x more likely to get shared on social media."
"Content with relevant images gets 94% more views than content without relevant images."
"Tweets with images receive 150% more retweets than tweets without images."
"There are more than 95 million photos shared daily on Instagram."
"Users are more likely to engage with brands if they post pictures than any other media."
"93% of the most engaging posts on Facebook are photo posts."
Social media is an absolute necessity for your business to continue to grow. And beautiful images help make it more effective and engaging. However, social media can be demanding and burdensome and professional photography is expensive. At Narrative Media we created the ultimate solution to both those problems that's easy, simple, and affordable.
The Social Media Photo Clique is a collection of smart businesses that understand the importance of visual marketing. Narrative Media visits members once a month to capture photos of your business, your staff, your products, and more. We then give you the images to use for all of your social media and online marketing needs.
At a Glance
- It's a membership based service, clients sign up for either 6 months or 12 months.
- Pricing is $185/month for 6 month membership or $165/month for 12 month membership (plus tax).
- Each month we visit the client and shoot for 30 minutes using minimal gear - camera, tripod, and a flash if necessary.
- Five business days after the shoot the client receives eight web resolution images to use for their social media and online marketing with extremely generous usage rights.
- Price point is approximately $23.13/photo for 6 month membership or $20.63/photo for 12 month membership.
All current and active Essential Guide advertisers in the Santa Fe area are eligible for a special promotion:
- $185 value
- Last month is free
- $330 value

How It works
1. Sign Up
You choose either a 6 month ($185/month) or 12 month ($165/month) Social Media Photo Clique membership.
2. We Visit
Once a month we schedule a 30 minute visit to your place of business. We bring a camera, a tripod, and a flash/speedlight.* And then we take awesome photos.
3. We Deliver
You receive eight (8) beautiful photos five business days after our visit for you to use for your online marketing.**
It's Easy
Have you ever sat at your computer or phone in the morning and wondered what to post? Well, imagine if you had a lot of fresh, beautiful photos to use. Just like that, your social media becomes attractive, effective, and easy.
It's Simple
We show up once a month with cameras blazing, capturing gorgeous photos of whatever you need in a quick and breezy 30 minutes. We're awesome at what we do and we're fun to work with (at least that's what our clients tell us).
It's Affordable
You've never seen professional photography this inexpensive. Your per image price is roughly $20. You have probably paid hundreds or thousands of dollars for just one photo in the past (trust us, we know). Welcome to the world of affordable professional photography.
Sample Social media Clique Pics
We locked ourselves in the studio to figure out how to make this as inexpensive as possible for you. Part of our secret formula is that we have to keep things light, quick, and simple in terms of the camera equipment we bring to your Social Media Photo Clique visits.
What can you do with a camera, a single speedlight/flash, and a tripod? Well, it turns out a lot. Below are examples of work that Narrative Media photographed with minimal gear and maximum creativity.

Residency for Tax Treaty Purposes for Individuals Part 4: The Tax Expatriation Rule
Tax code Sections 877 and 877A (the exit tax) impose special provisions on certain U.S. citizens who terminate their citizenship and long-term green-card holders who lose their status through abandonment (whether or not intentional) or revocation provided they meet certain criteria. As a result, most tax treaties include provisions limiting the eligibility of these individuals to use a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. taxes for a period of time. For example, Article 1(4) (the savings clause) of the U.S. Model Treaty includes the following provision:
"Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Convention, a former citizen or former long-term resident of a Contracting State may, for the period of ten years following the loss of such status be taxed in accordance with the laws of that Contracting State."
The rules regarding which tax expatriates are covered by these rules have changed over time. As a result, determining whether such an individual's treaty claim is valid can be complicated.
Employers and payers are required under the tax regulations (stated in the instructions for Form 8233 for claiming withholding exemptions) to deny exemptions from withholding when the facts supporting eligibility for treaty benefits, including a payee's country of tax residency, are not clear.

According to an announcement today, Google for Entrepreneurs is bringing Campus to Warsaw. Campuses are Google's spaces for entrepreneurs to connect, learn and get mentorship, and build innovative startups. According to the announcement, posted by the Head of Google for Entrepreneurs Europe, Eze Vidra, the move to Poland is part of their "ongoing investment throughout the region."
This is not the company's first initiative in Poland. In Krakow, they previously launched the Google for Entrepreneurs Krakow program. They also launched the Digital Economy Lab with Warsaw University.
In the past couple of years, Poland's entrepreneurial scene has grown and attracted both domestic and international startups and investors. Warsaw's low cost of living, quality of talent, and proximity to Europe's largest tech city, Berlin, are major selling points. So it's no surprise that Google chose the capital to bring Campus for Entrepreneurs.
"Our hope is that Campus Warsaw will supercharge tech entrepreneurs, strengthen the startup ecosystem, and encourage even more innovation in Poland," said Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt.
In the region, they currently operate Campuses in London and Tel Aviv. Google for Entrepreneurs has over 60 programs in 110 countries.

Noble orders newbuild drillship
Noble Corporation (NYSE: NE) reports that wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary, Noble Drilling Holding LLC, has signed contracts for the construction of a new, dynamically positioned, ultra-deepwater, harsh environment Globetrotter class drillship with South Korea's STX Heavy Industries Co., LTD ("STX") and Dutch-based design and construction firm Huisman Equipment B.V.
The drillship will be built on a fixed-price basis in two phases.
Following construction of the hull and installation of the propulsion system by STX at its new state-of-the-art facility in Dalian, China, the to-be-named drillship will sail under its own power to the Netherlands where Huisman will complete the installation and commissioning of the topside equipment.
The delivered cost of the drillship, excluding capitalized interest, is estimated to be $585 million, with delivery scheduled for the second half of 2011.
Additionally, Noble has secured priced options for three additional Globetrotter drillships exercisable by Noble over the next 90, 120 and 180 days, respectively, from the date of contract execution.
Noble Corporation's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, David W. Williams, said, "We are excited to announce the continuation of our newbuild program with the addition of this new ultra-deepwater Globetrotter class drillship. The Globetrotter is an innovative design capable of working in up to 10,000 feet of water in benign and hostile environments around the world. At a purchase price of under $600 million, we expect to present our shareholders with superior returns while at the same time offering an uncompromising product to our customers. We are confident we will put this unit under contract before year-end, enabling us to take advantage of our very competitive option pricing for future Globetrotter projects."
The drillship will measure 620 feet long and 105 feet wide and will utilize Huisman's multi-purpose tower design with a drilling side and a pipe assembly side. The Globetrotter will be capable of drilling to a vertical depth of 40,000 feet and will feature DP-3 station-keeping ability, 18,000 tons of variable deck load, and quarters for 180 personnel.
"This project is confirmation of our view of the continuing strength of the current cycle. Deepwater dynamics remain robust and we see unsatisfied demand for ultra-deepwater rigs extending out into 2012. The Globetrotter is a welcome addition as one of Noble's next generation, cost efficient and innovative units that we will put to work to help meet the world's energy demands," Williams said.

The Miracle Summary & Study Guide Description
The Miracle Summary & Study Guide includes comprehensive information and analysis to help you understand the book. This study guide contains the following sections:
This detailed literature summary also contains Related Titles on The Miracle by Irving Wallace.
Preview of The Miracle Summary:
The central theme is belief in miracles, especially miracles concerned with healing the body of disease or illness. Contrasting epigraphs open the novel and frame the debate: "They say miracles are past" (William Shakespeare) and "The Age of Miracles is forever here!" (Thomas Carlyle). On one side are those who think that miracles are illusions which cannot stand the scrutiny of modern science or delusions which reflect the self-deception, desperation, and naivete of the believer. On the other side are those who accept illogical or unpredictable improvement in health as evidence of divine intervention. The novel describes many people seeking a miracle; one occurs that is unexpected, known only to a few and completely unexplained.

This is the week with our slow cooker freezer meals plan. I was able to put all of these meals together in just under an hour. If you'd like to watch a video of the assembly process (the video is only 9 minutes long), you can find it here. I love having these meals stashed away in the freezer!
The Weekly Meal Plans for November will also include a week of slow cooker freezer meals. And because you have access to a whole month at a time, if you join now, you'll get both October and November. Big bang for your buck! You can find out more about Weekly Meal Plans by clicking this link.
Last week, I tested the recipe for Slow Cooker Corn Chowder. I also created a recipe for ALDI that turned out fabulous. I can't wait to share it with you!
Jim was traveling again. There were several nights that we ate left overs instead of me cooking a new meal. Having a big pot of soup at the beginning of the week is great for that.
I shared this photo of a sunrise on Instagram earlier this week. Doesn't it look like God signed His name in it? Can you see the big G and what looks like a signature behind it? So cool!

Blade Mistress is a server-centric, ultra-low bandwidth, persistent world, massively multiplayer, 3D graphical fantasy role-playing game. The latest version can be found HERE.
In a magic world filled with dangerous monsters and fantastic adventure, the Eight Great Spirits watch over a matriarchal human society. The heroines of the land include warrior Blade Mistresses, magical Enchantresses, and artistic Craftswomen. All three types of heroine protect and promote the small human population that exists in this fearsome and challenging world.
Blade Mistress currently has PvE combat, trading, crafting, chatting, character advancement, totem magic, and ritual magic. It also has dungeons that can be edited by the players themselves.
But the big new change is dragon eggs, which can be hatched by enchantresses, and nurtured into powerful fire-breathing pets. Like Pokemon or Monster Rancher, these pets start as babies and have to be fed regularly. They have a game lifespan, during which they get bigger and more powerful. They also respond in complex ways to the kind of monster meat you feed them. Three times in their life, they go through a major life change, and depending on what they ate last, they might change color, lay eggs, or get even more powerful.
The different colors of pet dragons also have different breath weapon powers. For instance, white dragons can blind the enemy, and black dragons can poison them. Enchantresses can own up to two pet dragons at once, allowing the enchantress to mix and match the best colors for her style of combat.
The pets themselves are very lifelike, doing tricks when happy, and flapping weakly when starved or sick. Players can name their pets, too.
The developers have also delivered on their promise to be guided by the community. "We've made so many changes because the players wanted it," said Frank Chang, Community Manager. "From color-coded inventory lists to changing the way skills like Dodge work, we've been listening and reacting. We expect to be
building, extending, and polishing this game for years, and our players will continue to dictate our development direction."
Blade Mistress lets each player create up to eight characters. Each character can be named, and can be customized with an array of faces and clothes. The hair and clothes can also be changed to almost any color. The creation process also lets the player distribute points among the Physical, Magical, and Creative statistics of the character. These statistics modify the different skills and actions of the character in the game.
What does "ultra-low bandwidth" mean? Thom Robertson, the game's designer, explains. "It means that bandwidth costs big bucks, so the only way our small shop can bring this game to the players is to design the game from the ground up with a commitment to using as little network bandwidth as possible.
"The most noticeable result is a game map that is divided into large squares, and you move from square to square, instead of just going anywhere you want.
"In testing, it took players a couple of seconds to wonder why they couldn't just move anywhere they wanted. Then a light bulb went on, and they got it, and
were happy with it.
"We think that our players will understand that we can't compete with the big boys on graphics and flash, but to compensate we're gonna strive for something
fresh and fun, and we're gonna listen to the players and take the game in the directions they choose."
The latest version of the game can be downloaded HERE. The web site also has instructions, a FAQ, and a forum.

International Women's Day-cup in Norwegian style
Materials: Ikea coffee cup, transfer for ceramics
Description: I love the I?New York-campaign from the seventies. The 8th of march is the International Women's Day, and I wanted to make some cups for the day. Some cups I've made by the use of plastic foyl one can get at a hobby shop (goes into the oven in 180 degrees centigrade for 30 minutes). For the cup in the picture I made the logo in a word-document and sent it by email to a online ceramic store. They made the logo into a transfer, and put in on the cups and burnt them in my ceramic-oven (800 degrees centigrade).
I?Likestilling (I?Gender Equality, in Norwegian).

Burton's Batman 3: My Screenplay/Novel Project
Hey guys, before I begin this post, I'd like to point out that
Mister Meddle
is doing something very similar, and I wish him all the luck!! His thread can be found here:
With that said, this has been a passion project of mine for a couple of years now. I've been totally geeking out on it, taking it way too seriously, and going beyond what we'd use as a throwaway term "Fan Fiction". This project has been consuming my life.
To make a long story short, I view this project in the same way that
Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire
was approached: a totally existing entry in the Star Wars film series, with everything
the actual film made. That's not to say that there would be video games, toys, merchandise, etc., (all in my dreams), but I've had it be my pipe-dream-fantasy-daydream for this to be in the same style as what
Shadows of the Empire
No, I do not expect WB or DC to see this and buy it immediately and make me a multi-millionaire...
This is all for fun. This is all a big, big
What If?
The Burton movies are a huge part of my life, and it's been my passion (if only for my own eyes or my own amusement) to see it be a trilogy, because I think it deserved to be a trilogy.
Over the next few months (maybe more), I am going to be posting the project bit by bit, titled
Batman Remains
- and it all takes place approximately 4 years after Batman Returns.
You guys are free to ask me questions, give me criticism, comments, etc. Most of you won't be interested and I totally understand - this is mostly a total geek fan-dream from a guy with too much time on his hands.
So, to kick things off, I thank you for entering this thread, and taking a chance on...

How can Christmas be this Saturday? Where has the time went? We've been busy, busy lately. But all my Christmas shopping is done, everything's wrapped and now I'm on a 2 week vacation. This week I'm just going to sit back and relax and enjoy the rest of the holiday.
On Sunday we went to the Santa Train and had a blast. We got there at 9:45 and didn't get to the ride the train until 12:15, it was THAT busy. Mason got his own conductor hat, we enjoy cookies and hot cocoa.
It was a great way to spend the morning even though we were freezing outside most of the time.
And the logging place is haunted, we had 3 different people experience something. First my cousin felt something poke her leg and then my mom and I were standing next to each other and at the same time felt someone right behind us and looked behind and no one was there. My mom thought someone kicked her in the leg and I thought my husband was right behind me going to hug me from behind, it was that strong of a touch and I had a big jacket on.
Okay so when we finally got on the train, Mason was so excited when he saw Santa. He asked Santa for a "present under the tree" was all he said.
After the train we all went to lunch at Ihop and then headed home, exhausted.
This was the look I kept getting when I wanted to take a picture

A number of
School of Communications students were among those honored as top
contributors in student media organizations by Elon University's
Media Board at an annual banquet May 10. Singled out for recognition
as top contributors were:
The entire staff was honored
Katie Bobb
Phi Psi Cli: Christina Kane
The Pendulum: Colin Donohue
WSOE: Greg Piel
The Media Board
selected one student from the group above as Elon University's Outstanding
Media Organization Member of the Year. This award was presented
to Colin Donohue of The Pendulum at the ODK Student Leadership Awards
Ceremony in April.
School of Communications
faculty members Tom Nelson and Kelli Burns are among the voting
members of Elon's Media Board, which is led by Rex Waters, assistant
dean of students.
At the banquet,
Waters lauded student media participants for their continuing contributions
to the Elon community. He noted the long hours the students log
in producing great communications in various formats to enlighten

for the event was Rob Franek, publisher and editorial director for
The Princeton Review. Franek is the primary spokesperson for The

give that other person a leg up. It makes a difference."
Franek is a
frequent lecturer and panelist on college topics for audiences of
educators, parents and students, and he has appeared as an educational
expert on "The Today Show," "CBS Early Show,"
CNN, the Oxygen Network, National Public Radio, USA Radio Network,

The day after the banquet, he spoke as a guest in Dr. Vic Costello's
Digital Media Convergence class.
