January Recipe of the Month
Massaged Kale Salad
Massaged Kale Salad Ingredients
Directions: Remove stems from kale and chiffonade (cut into really small strips, like
ribbon). Put kale into a bowl and pour salt on top and gently massage
salt into kale until you see the kale start to darken in color and start
to appear moist. Add dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, bleu cheese,
and green apple. Pour ½ cup of vinaigrette and mix thoroughly.
Depending on how much dressing you like and how dry your kale is you may
need to add more. Start with the ½ cup and slowly add a couple
tablespoons at a time until you are satisfied with the amount of dressing. Enjoy!
Apple Cider Vinaigrette Ingredients
Directions: In a blender, combine all ingredients except for the oil. When adding
salt to the dressing you should add very little to begin with because
the salt in the kale and bleu cheese will add a lot and you don't
want your dressing to be too salty and become overpowering. Once ingredients
are in the blender, put lid on and turn on blend setting. Through opening
on the blender cap, slowly drizzle the oil into other ingredients until
the dressing becomes emulsified and thickened. Taste for seasoning and
add more pepper if desired. I would add your dressing to the salad and
taste before adding more salt. If you would like more salt then add until
you get the desired flavor.

Bank Of The West Weekly Volleyball Honors
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. — The Pac-12 Conference office announced today the Bank of the West Pac-12 Volleyball Players of the Week. USC's Lauren Williams was voted the Offensive Player of the Week, UCLA's Kelly Reeves was the Defensive Player of the Week and Oregon's Liz Brenner was the Freshman of the Week. The weekly honors reflect per-formances for the week of Oct. 31-Nov. 6.
Weekly awards have been selected every week since the Conference began sponsoring women's volleyball in 1986. The offensive, defensive and freshman of the week honors are new for the 2011 campaign.
Senior Lauren Williams (Houston, Texas) hit .692 on 20 kills in 3-0 sweeps of Washington State and No. 10 Washing-ton over the weekend. Against the Cougars, she was a perfect 9-for-9 with no errors, adding three blocks in the match. Williams had 11 kills on 17 attempts with just two errors against the Huskies, keeping the Women of Troy in a tie for first place in the Pac-12 standings. She also had three blocks against Washington. Williams also contributed to the Tro-jans' defensive effort that limited WSU to a .057 hitting percentage and UW to .106.
Sophomore Kelly Reeves (San Diego, Calif.) averaged 4.50 digs, 2.00 kills and 1.00 blocks per set in the top-ranked Bruins' two victories over 10th-ranked Washington and Washington State. The wins keep UCLA in a tie for first place in the Pac-12 standings, as well. Reeves had 18 digs in the weekend opener against the Huskies. She added four kills, two blocks and an ace. She was just shy of a double-double against the Cougars, tallying nine digs and eight kills with four blocks. A Bruin has been named Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week for the second-consecutive week and the third time in four weeks. Bruins have earned the defensive honor four times this season, the most of any team.
Freshman Liz Brenner (Portland, Ore.) had the highest single-match kill total of any Pac-12 freshman over the week-end, notching a career-high 18 kills in the 3-1 win over Arizona State on Friday. The career-high mark in Tempe was her third season high over the last six matches. Brenner then had nine kills in the sweep of Arizona. For the weekend, she averaged 3.86 kills, 0.71 digs, 0.14 blocks and 3.93 points per set, while hitting 31 percent.
It is the first offensive player of the week honor for Williams and the second weekly citation of her career. It is the 48th all-time selection for USC. It is the second time this season Reeves has earned the defensive honor and the second weekly nod of her career, as well. The Bruins have also received 61 all-time weekly honors. Brenner's freshman of the week selection is the first of her career.
UCLA remains the No. 1 team in the country for the second-straight week, while USC stays at No. 4, according to the AVCA Coaches poll released today. The Bruins and Trojans travel to face No. 20 Oregon and Oregon State this week-end.

Jasmine and her friends go on a mountain biking tour in the Adelaide Hills, gaining access to amazing trails through a Conservation Park, with a special bonus of seeing native animals.
Chloe volunteers at Adelaide's Moon Lantern Festival. First she joins a family making a small lantern. At the festival itself she does a bit of volunteering, and the big part of the evening is helping to carry one of the big lanterns in the parade. Chloe enjoys her experience, sharing an Asian tradition with Aussies.
Thao ventures into the Australian bush for the first time, going walkabout with an Aboriginal guide in the Blue Mountains. She learns about bush tucker, and visits a sacred site. She also gets her face painted with ochre and swims in a waterhole under a waterfall.

LG will launch its latest flagship Android smartphone in London in two weeks' time, on Tuesday 27 May, and as is traditional with the Korean company, it's basically letting the cat out of the bag beforehand.
It has already confirmed that the name for the new device will be LG G3, the successor to the excellent LG G2, and now it's posted a teaser video showing most of the elements of the phone in brief flashes.
The company has also previously confirmed that the screen on the forthcoming handset will utilise a 5.5-inch QHD display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440. That will give it a very high pixel density of 534ppi.
It is also rumoured to come with a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chipset and 4K video recording through its 13-megapixel camera.
It is also clear from the video and screengrabs that a lot of emphasis will be put on the new volume rocker and other interesting features on the rear. A new smart case is shown too.
Simple is the new smart is the tagline LG is adopting for the G3. We can see now why that is.

Fisheries Biologist
Explore the life processes of fish.
What does a Fisheries Biologist do?
The fishing holes and tranquil ponds of your childhood are now your office. Working at a fishery — a place where fish are raised for observation and scientific study — you turn your appreciation for nature and eye for detail into a fitting job as a Fisheries Biologist.
Your work as a Fisheries Biologist is one piece of a bigger picture, just like your little fish friends are only one part of their large pond. Along with other Scientists, Fisheries Biologists monitor the fish, their environment, and their effects on the ecosystem. Curiosity drives you on your quest for knowledge. It's time to answer once and for all what type of food each species eats and whether or not fish blink.
During the day, you travel back and forth between your ponds and your office, gathering water samples that you and your Lab Technician examine under a microscope, or observing the behavior of fish in their natural habitats. You build a profile of each species that includes what they eat, where they live, and when they breed. Often, you travel to other areas to see new species not found in your location.
In the end, your work affects not only the fish, but the entire environment and the general population as well. What those fish eat eventually makes its way to humans, and most people don't want chemicals or parasites on their dinner menus. Your work as a Fisheries Biologist keeps the environment healthy and balanced.

iCACLS.exe (2003 sp2, Vista)
Change file and folder permissions - display or modify Access Control Lists (ACLs) for files and folders.
iCACLS resolves various issues that occur when using the older CACLS & XCACLS
Syntax (files) ICACLS FileName [/grant[:r] User:Permission[...]] [/deny User:Permission[...]] [/remove[:g|:d]] User[...]] [/t] [/c] [/l] [/q] [/setintegritylevel Level[...]] Syntax (Store acls for all matching names into aclfile for later use with /restore) ICACLS name /save aclfile [/T] [/C] [/L] [/Q] Syntax (restore folder) ICACLS directory [/substitute SidOld SidNew [...]] /restore aclfile [/C] [/L] [/Q] Syntax (Change Owner) ICACLS name /setowner user [/T] [/C] [/L] [/Q] Syntax (Find items with an ACL that mentions a specific SID) ICACLS name /findsid Sid [/T] [/C] [/L] [/Q] Syntax (Find files whose ACL is not in canonical form or with a length inconsistent with the ACE count.) ICACLS name /verify [/T] [/C] [/L] [/Q] Syntax (Replace ACL with default inherited acls for all matching files) ICACLS name /reset [/T] [/C] [/L] [/Q] Key /T Traverse all subfolders to match files/directories. /C Continue on file errors (access denied) Error messages are still displayed. /L Perform the operation on a symbolic link itself, not its target. /Q Quiet - supress success messages. /grant :r user:permission Grant access rights, with :r, the permissions will replace any previouly granted explicit permissions. Otherwise the permissions are added. /deny user:permission Explicitly deny the specified user access rights. This will also remove any explicit grant of the same permissions to the same user. /remove[:[g|d]] User Remove all occurrences of User from the acl. :g remove all granted rights to that User/Sid. :d remove all denied rights to that User/Sid. /setintegritylevel [(CI)(OI)]Level Add an integrity ACE to all matching files. level is one of L,M,H (Low Medium or High) A Directory Inheritance option for the integrity ACE may precede the level: /inheritance:e|d|r e - enable inheritance d - disable inheritance and copy the ACEs r - remove all inherited ACEs user A user account, Group or a SID
/restore Apply the acls stored in ACLfile to the files in directory permission is a permission mask and can be specified in one of two forms: a sequence of simple rights: F - full access M - modify access RX - read and execute access R - read-only access W - write-only access a comma-separated list in parenthesis of specific rights: D - delete RC - read control WDAC - write DAC WO - write owner S - synchronize AS - access system security MA - maximum allowed GR - generic read GW - generic write GE - generic execute GA - generic all RD - read data/list directory WD - write data/add file AD - append data/add subdirectory REA - read extended attributes WEA - write extended attributes X - execute/traverse DC - delete child RA - read attributes WA - write attributes inheritance rights may precede either form and are applied only to directories: (OI) - object inherit (CI) - container inherit (IO) - inherit only (NP) - don't propagate inherit
Unlike many other command-line tools, iCACLS correctly preserves the canonical ordering of ACE entries:
Explicit denials
Explicit grants
Inherited denials
Inherited grants
Access Control Lists apply only to files stored on an NTFS formatted drive, each ACL determines which users (or groups of users) can read or edit the file. When a new file is created it normally inherits ACL's from the folder where it was created.
Using iCACLS
- To edit a file you must already have the "Change" ACL (or be the file's owner)
- To use the iCACLS command to change the permissions of a file requires "FULL Control" (or be the file's owner)
- File "Ownership" will always override all ACL's - you always have Full Control over files that you create.
Inherited folder permissions are displayed as:
OI - Object inherit - This folder and files. (no inheritance to subfolders) CI - Container inherit - This folder and subfolders. IO - Inherit only - The ACE does not apply to the current file/directory These can also be combined as folllows: (OI)(CI) This folder, subfolders, and files. (OI)(CI)(IO) Subfolders and files only. (CI)(IO) Subfolders only. (OI) (IO) Files only.
So BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)F means that both files and Subdirectories will inherit 'F' (Fullcontrol)
similarly (CI)R means Directories will inherit 'R' (Read folders only = List permission)
When cacls is applied to the current folder only there is no inheritance and so no output.
You can't break existing inheritance of permissions with icacls, for that you need XCACLS.vbs.
In Windows Server 2003 SP2 there is a bug when attempting to use the /setowner switch, which returns "Access denied".
A limited release hotfix is available to resolve this issue (Q947870) alternatively use SUBINACL
nb this bug is NOT present on Vista SP1 or Windows Server 2008.
To backup the ACLs of every file in a directory type:
icacls * /save Myacl_backup.txt
Restore ACLS using a previously saved acl file:
icacls /restore Myacl_backup.txt
Change the Integrity Level (IL) of a file to High:
icacls MyReport.doc /setintegritylevel H
Grant the group FileAdmins Delete and Write DAC permissions to Sales_Folder:
icacls Sales_Folder /grant FileAdmins:(D,WDAC)
Propagate a new permission to all files and subfolders, without using inheritance:
(so if any of the subfolders contain specific permissions, those won't be overwritten)
icacls * /grant accountName:(NP)(RX) /T

The 'Blades again outshot the Stingrays, this time 34-27, but avenged Wednesday's shootout loss by storming back from an early two-goal deficit to finish off South Carolina with a three-goal burst in the third period Friday night. If you're head coach Greg Poss, you have to like how your club responded after squandering their first lead of the game, allowing a last-second goal by losing a defensive zone draw while trying to close out the second period. Aaron Bogosian, Matt Marquardt, Matthieu Roy, Justin Shugg, Brody Sutter and Corey Trivino all scored for the Everblades. Lightning prospects Alex Hutchings (pictured, courtesy of SwampHockey), Charles Landry and Pat Nagle were all in action for Florida while Daniel Milan was scratched yet again due to injury. Since his lackluster season debut, Hutchings has quietly racked up four assists, 11 shots and a couple of shootout tallies in the four games since. With the victory, Florida (3-1-2) leapfrogged Orlando for the divisional lead before next playing host to divisional foe Greenville (2-3-0) on Saturday night.
San Francisco Bulls 1 @ Alaska Aces 4
F Nate Thompson, AK: 0-2-2, +1, 2 SOG, 0 PIM
Season totals: 5 GP, 0-2-2, -2, 8 PIM
The Aces mounted their own furious finish Friday night, putting up 18 shots and scoring four unanswered goals in the third period en route to a thorough drubbing of the new San Francisco franchise. The Aces, who outshot the Bulls 44-19, controlled play throughout the game but found themselves down a goal heading into the final frame due to the inspired play of San Francisco netminder Thomas Heemskerk. All three locked-out NHLers paid dividends for the Aces tonight: Blue Jackets forward Brandon Dubinsky opened the floodgates with a power play marker in the first minute of the third period, Capitals forward Joey Crabb (1 G, 1 A) had his second multi-point game while registering a game-high nine shots on goal and the Lightning's Nate Thompson earned his first points of the season while managing to stay out of the sin-bin. The Aces (3-2-0) square off against the Bulls (2-2-2) again tonight in Anchorage.

Clarifications: General Aoun was ousted as Prime Minister in 1989 by the Syrian forces with a US green light. Aoun was a political refugee in France till 2005 as Syrian troops vacated Lebanon. All political parties refrained from allying with the Tayyar of Aoun during the Parliamentary election of 2005; and yet, Aoun's party won hands down the election with a landslide majority of the Christian voters. Then, Aoun had a rapproachment with Hezbollah in 2006 which upset all alliances and made the alliances of the majority of Christians with the Moslem Chiaa an unbeatable political power pressure.
It seems that Syria is trying currently to clipp the advances of Aoun's party by ordering political leaders who sided staunchly with Aoun to desist from total support rhetoric. For example, the Maronite Suleiman Frangieh of Zogarta, the Druze Erslan of Aley, and Skaf of Zahleh have been showing lukewarm enthusiasm for Aoun during the latest municipal election. Even Hezbollah, through its alliance with AMAL of Nabih Berry, has been implicitely trying to weaken the Tayyar influence. Still, the Tayyar of Aoun managed to win big time in both the Parliamentary and municipal elections.
while the US inexplicable labels FPM and General Aoun pro-Syrian (for guiding Syria past an occupier's mentality), the FPM was the only Lebanese liberation movement. In August 7th 2001, a large group of FPM'ers were arrested by the Syria-puppet regime at the time, for demanding the Syrian withdrawal from Lebanon (which took place in 2005). The Syria accountability act was signed by the US congress in 2003 as a result of the FPM campaigning in the US.

Has anyone worked with Power Brands or Flavorman?
I am looking to break into the 'energy shot' market and need help formulating specialized prototypes to take to investors.
Powerbrands and Flavorman seem to have full scale services but I cannot find any reviews for them online.
Also, how much can I expect to spend on formulating a single energy shot and having a small prototype batch (~100 shots) produced?

Superhero Elect: Frankie, I'm a Lover Not a Fighter!
Sidekick Elect: Teresa
Hometown: Springfield, VA (Washington DC)
Why Frankie should be a StubbyDog Superhero: There's just something about him. A spark. Magic. Whatever it is about him, it radiates from within. We have changed so many minds in our time together, and most of those had little to do with my words, and more to do with his personality. :-)
He's come such a very long way, from being seized in a drug raid in FL, to earning a Delta Therapy license, he's bound to show the world just how big of a hero he and many others like him are.
We work hard to bring the "bully breed" back to the role of America's family/nanny dog!
Thank you for voting for Frankie and I, but a vote for any of us is a vote for all pitties everywhere thanks to all the hard work by the great folks at Stubbydog!

Ryszard Kapuscinski witnessed and reported on major wars, coups and revolutions as they happened throughout the developing world and global South. In this distillation of his reflections on a lifetime of travel, he takes a fresh look at the Western idea of the Other: the non-European or non-American. Looking at this concept through the lens of his own encounters in Africa, Asia and Latin America, and considering its formative significance for his own work, Kapuscinski traces how the West has understood the Other from classical times to colonialism, from the age of enlightenment to the postmodern global village. He observes how today we continue to treat the non-European as an alien and a threat, an object of study that has not yet become a partner in sharing responsibility for the fate of the world. In our globalized but increasingly polarized post-9/11 age, Kapuscinski shows how the Other remains one of the most compelling ideas of our times.
"Extraordinarily intelligent … The lectures are as erudite as they are profound … An astonishingly fresh and perceptive discussion of what identity means today."
"An alternative journey through philosophy, history and anthropology … a powerful, quasi-religious, meditation on the power of humbling oneself in the face of the unknown."
"Kapuscinski's case for humanity to accept and acknowledge 'otherness' is cogent and invites further contemplation."
"Eloquent ... remarkably thoughtful and compressed."

This year's festival was celebrated under the theme 'Black, Yellow and Red' and had several other pre – festival activities including motor rally which was held on 1st October. People were not only from Kampala City but were coming from all the surrounding areas of Mukono, Mpigi, Wakiso, Luwero and others were coming from as far as Mbarara, Mbale and Masindi as well as from the International diaspora.
With Kampala in a constant state of change and regeneration, the festival projected the image of the City as a Happy, Cultural and Warm place to be while promoting positive change to its public realm. This however raised the need to remind young people to keep in charge of their health and general wellbeing irrespective of the fun.
It's against this background that Public health Ambassadors Uganda (PHAU) with support from Virginia Gildersleeve International Fund (VGIF), Uganda Youth and Adolescent Health Forum (UYAHF), United Citizens Child Support Organization (UCCSO) and AIDS Health Care Foundation - Uganda Cares was honored to be one of the health service provider and partners as it offered free health education sessions, free contraception information and services, free menstrual hygiene information and services, free HIV testing and counseling and edutainment to the youth who made it to the event. The energetic youthful team showcased street performances in the form of Social Ballroom, Latino and Dancehall Dance Exhibitions that attracted many young people at the PHAU stall which was located on Parliamentary Avenue right in front of Nandos.
At the PHAU stall, great music was played by a youthful DJ Julio who attracted many young people at the stall from 9am till 10pm in the night. PHAU used this opportunity to create awareness and sensitization among young people and women with fun, informative and educative messages on HIV Stigma and Discrimination during the festival such as "Being HIV +, Is Not A Crime", "Fight Stigma. Get to Know Your Status Not Just Mine", "Appreciate Me As I am. End Stigma and Discrimination", "I can't change my status but you can change your attitude", "I'm HIV Positive", "No more Shame. Being HIV +. No more Stigma" and "I Pledge to Love+ Care + Support = PLHIV".
More so, health education on correct and consistent use of male and female condoms was done during the music breaks as the youth were reminded to go for free HIV Counseling and Testing services. This was complimented with distribution of condoms and Information Education and Communication (IEC) materials to the young people on STI management, Teenage Pregnancy, HIV related stigma, Puberty and Menstruation.
PHAU peer educators and volunteers also reached out to adolescent girls and young women about the "Ensonga" Campaign where they were teaching them on various myths and misconceptions related to menstruation. The "Ensonga" Campaign is a one year project seeks to improve Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) among school going adolescent girls through improved access to Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) facilities within primary and secondary schools in Wakiso District. Adolescent girls will be empowered with MHM information including use of reusable sanitary pads through formation of Sanitation health clubs and construction of sustainable WASH facilities. The project slogan is #MenstruationMatters.
The adolescent girls and young women had an opportunity to learn about the various menstruation materials including disposable pads, re-usable pads, menstruation cup, tampons, water bottle and other items that are vital in MHM. Furthermore, many young people also took off time to take photos with various advocacy message placards on MHM such as "Government!!, School Syllabus should have Menstrual Health Education", "Need for Improved Menstrual Facilities at Home and School", " Menstruation is Normal and Healthy", "Both Re-Usable and Disposable Pads are Cool" and "Boys and Men should support the Menstrual Cycle"
In numbers, a total of 2697 young people were referred to our partner; AHF Uganda Cares to receive free HIV Counseling and Testing Services. 41 of those tested were found HIV positive and immediately linked to the most preferred facilities for care. Over 28,800 condoms and 8,000 copies of IEC materials were distributed during this year's festival
We shall wait for 2017 and we see what the ambassadors have in stock for the city!

It was a horse barn and then cow barn with milking stalls and hayloft overhead. The outside peak of the barn has the original hay fork and track, still operational, used to take hay from wagons to hayloft. Ceiling height on lower level was only 6'6", keeping it at a minimum retained heat for cows and also allowed additional room above for hay storage. Air vents and shafts still penetrate through the roof as natural draft for air circulation in summer. Original beams for structural support are still intact.
Silage was fed by conveyor belts and was blown in from the top of the silo by large blowers on a tractor. In very early days, this was a hand operation, corn was chopped by rope tied onto cleaver and pulled up and down. Base of silo led directly to cow and horse barn for easier feeding of animals.

With North Korea very much occupying MSM discourse at the moment, I had been wondering about the State of Israel's nuclear capabilities and the name Vanunu has re-emerged in my consciousness. I remember the press reports from 1986. Mordechai is 10 years older than me, it is sobering to think he has been a political prisoner since then.

|Kristin Joachimsen (m. 2015)
Mordechai Vanunu (Hebrew: מרדכי ואנונו; born 14 October 1954), also known as John Crossman,[1][2] is an Israeli former nuclear technician and peace activist[3] who, citing his opposition to weapons of mass destruction, revealed details of Israel's nuclear weapons program to the British press in 1986.[4] He was subsequently lured to Italy by a Mossad agent, where he was drugged and abducted by Israeli intelligence agents.[4] He was transported to Israel and ultimately convicted in a trial that was held behind closed doors.[4]
Vanunu spent 18 years in prison, including more than 11 in solitary confinement. Released from prison in 2004, he became subject to a broad array of restrictions on his speech and movement. Since then he has been arrested several times for violations of those restrictions, including giving various interviews to foreign journalists and attempting to leave Israel. He says he suffered "cruel and barbaric treatment" at the hands of Israeli authorities while imprisoned, and suggests that his treatment would have been different if he had not converted to Christianity from Judaism.[5]
In 2007, Vanunu was sentenced to six months in prison for violating terms of his parole. The sentence was considered unusual even by the prosecution who expected a suspended sentence. In response, Amnesty International issued a press release on 2 July 2007, stating that "The organisation considers Mordechai Vanunu to be a prisoner of conscience and calls for his immediate and unconditional release."[6]
In May 2010, Vanunu was arrested and sentenced to three months in jail on a charge that he met foreigners in violation of conditions of his 2004 release from jail. Vanunu has been characterized internationally as a whistleblower[7][8] and by Israel as a traitor.[9][10][11][12]
Daniel Ellsberg has referred to him as "the preeminent hero of the nuclear era".[13]

Who knows when my freedom will come!.April 6-2017.israel Supreme Court rejected my appeal to end all the restrictions, and to allowed me to leave Israel.they continue to blame me, that I am not respecting, obeying ,these restrictions meeting foreigners,but that what I want ,I want to leave Israel to meet foreigners,.these judges are just following the Gov' decisions,But no matter what they decided my Freedom must come ,now 31 year waiting 1986-2017, will continue to wait,Freedom from Israel is the way.
|I Am Your Whistleblower
by Mordechai Vanunu
I am the clerk, the technician, the mechanic, the driver.
They said, Do this, do that, don't look left or right,
don't read the text. Don't look at the whole machine. You
are only responsible for this one bolt. For this one rubber-stamp.
This is your only concern. Don't bother with what is above you.
Don't try to think for us. Go on, drive. Keep going. On, on.
So they thought, the big ones, the smart ones, the futurologists.
There is nothing to fear. Not to worry.
Everything's ticking just fine.
Our little clerk is a diligent worker. He's a simple mechanic.
He's a little man.
Little men's ears don't hear, their eyes don't see.
We have heads, they don't.
Answer them, said he to himself, said the little man,
the man with a head of his own. Who is in charge? Who knows
where this train is going?
Where is their head? I too have a head.
Why do I see the whole engine,
Why do I see the precipice--
is there a driver on this train?
The clerk driver technician mechanic looked up.
He stepped back and saw -- what a monster.
Can't believe it. Rubbed his eyes and -- yes,
it's there all right. I'm all right. I do see
the monster. I'm part of the system.
I signed this form. Only now I am reading the rest of it.
This bolt is part of a bomb. This bolt is me. How
did I fail to see, and how do the others go on
fitting bolts. Who else knows?
Who has seen? Who has heard? -- The emperor really is naked.
I see him. Why me? It's not for me. It's too big.
Rise and cry out. Rise and tell the people. You can.
I, the bolt, the technician, mechanic? -- Yes, you.
You are the secret agent of the people. You are the eyes of the nation.
Whistleblower, tell us what you've seen. Tell us what the insiders, the clever ones, have hidden from us.
Without you, there is only the precipice. Only catastrophe.
I have no choice. I'm a little man, a citizen, one of the people,
but I'll do what I have to. I've heard the voice of my conscience
and there's nowhere to hide.
The world is small, small for Big Brother.
I'm on your mission. I'm doing my duty. Take it from me.
Come and see for yourselves. Lighten my burden. Stop the train.
Get off the train. The next stop -- nuclear disaster. The next book,
the next machine. No. There is no such thing.

Randy Fox interviews Laurence Zale
An interview on gifts of tangible personal property with art expert Laurence Zale.
Randy: Good afternoon. This is Randy Fox, Editor in Chief of the Planned Giving Design Center, and today I am pleased to be with Larry Zale. Larry is the proprietor of Laurence Zale Associates, specialists in collectibles of tangible personal property. Hi, Larry, how are you? Good to be with you.
Larry: A very good afternoon to you, Randy. Thank you.
Randy: Larry's firm is based in Manhattan and does business mostly on the East Coast but really across the United States, with collectors of various objects. Why don't we start with some basic things, Larry, and then just work up to whatever we're going to get to? Why do people collect art and other tangible personal property? What's the driving force, do you think?
Larry: Well, it's fundamentally a human phenomenon, Randy, and collectors generally fall into three categories. They're accumulators ... and we know who they are ... impulse buyers, who are of the moment, and then you have the collector who is a little bit more discerning, by doing his or her research into what they want to collect. We'll talk more about the different types of objects in a few minutes, but the collector is more sophisticated in that regard because there is a sense of planning that goes into the acquisition side. Then finally there is the connoisseur, who in many instances becomes an expert in the field. They are often called upon by other experts to give opinions, and they tend to be very, very systematic and analytical in their research and their acquisition.
Randy: Who do you deal with mostly?
Larry: I deal with all types, and I'm always reminded of this wonderful comment that the great Kenneth Clark ... he was the famous historian and broadcaster who did the "Civilization" program some years ago ... said, that collecting was analogous to asking why people fall in love. The reasons are various and irrational.
Randy: What do people collect? It seems to me there's all manner of collectibles.
Larry: Right. First and foremost is fine art, which would be paintings, drawings, prints, sculpture, even photography. Then you have collectibles, which can include such things as stamps and coins, and my goodness, it's just a growing universe, Randy. It's hard to keep up, but there are so many areas of collecting. Then you have the burgeoning area of luxury collectibles automobiles, jets, boats and the like. You also have jewelry, gems and watches, which are very portable, easily bought and sold, unlike fine art, which tends to be a little bit more difficult to transact. Then you have the sports memorabilia, just to name five or six of the major areas of collecting.
Randy: Sports memorabilia, at least from my observation, runs the gamut from the very inexpensive packs of baseball cards all the way up to the very rare and very unusual higher-end collectibles.
Larry: Precisely, like the Honus Wagner baseball card, which some years ago fetched into the middle six figures.
Randy: Yeah, I remember reading about that.
Larry: Sure.
Randy: How is this property managed and sold generally?
Larry: Well, I think first of all, in dealing with how it's managed, it's important to take care of the collection. You need to really catalog the objects, display some of them and store others. Collectors have the flexibility of selling their objects at auction to dealers, occasionally to public or to private collections or to collectors themselves, the very last of which is interesting, Randy, because if they're active in their collecting communities, they tend to know the other collectors and often will turn to them to either trade or to sell objects that they own, rather than going through the public marketplace, so to speak.
Randy: Of course, all of the collections are tracked so that all of the taxes are paid when an object is exchanged for another object, or an object is exchanged for cash?
Larry: I would think generally yes, but there is no way of stopping those who want to make private arrangements, and I don't want to suggest that they're not paying the tax but there is the greater likelihood that they won't. I did want to just get back for a second, if I may, Randy. There is a Cap Gemini World Bank of Canada North America Wealth Report which is published each year. The most recent one was 2015. They refer to this area as investments of passion, and interestingly enough, those who collect, what they do collect was somewhat surprising.
For example, jewelry, gems and watches comprise about 29 percent. The other collectibles which we talked about earlier is about 20 percent. The luxury goods and luxury collectibles is an additional 20-plus percent. Art, which I thought would be much higher on a percentage basis, is just under 17 percent. Then finally, the sports investments is about 12 percent, so the snapshot that we're getting here of North America ... because each continent is going to be slightly different ... is that fine art is not being collected as much as I thought and many other people, but in fact it is collectibles and luxury collectibles, as well as the jewelry, gems and watches, that are being collected.
Randy: Any thoughts about why that is? Is it an anomaly? Is that by dollar amount or by count, or how is it calculated?
Larry: I believe it's by the actual value.
Randy: Well, maybe it's because so much of the fine art is already in museums and already in private collections that just not very much of it trades hands.
Larry: Well, that's a good point. I think it's fair to say that only about 1 to 2 percent of all the art that exists is available or in private collections. Most everything else is in public collections, so if one wants to either build, manage or expand a collection, sure, they can find art in areas that are not as well represented or as popular or as valuable, but I think that if they want to make an impact, the urge, I think, Randy, is for them to then look for other types of collectibles to acquire and to hold onto them, so that they too can appreciate over time and they can buy the very best.
Because I think with quality and rarity, those are the two real key elements for collectors to consider. There are other things, of course, as well, but if it's rare and the quality is there, in due course it will appreciate in value at a much quicker pace than others.
Randy: By rarity, I presume that also includes the word "provenance," which is the chain of ownership and who might have owned it along the way, adding to the value?
Larry: Absolutely, and it can be a blessing but it could also be a curse, because if the provenance is uneven, it can affect the value and in some instances prevent the would-be seller from being able to find a buyer.
Randy: Have you got an example of that?
Larry: Well, I'm not happy about this, but I've had collectors coming to me after being told that it's by a master or a minor master, only to find out that it was just a copy. What would have sold for hundreds of thousands, in some instances even on the low end of a couple of million, is but a fraction. They're, needless to say, crestfallen upon learning the news, and invariably what happens is they tend not to sell it, because the amount that they would have received becomes more of an embarrassment. They tend to put it back on their wall and enjoy it, but shall we say, in reduced circumstances.
Randy: A sore lesson learned, unfortunately.
Larry: Quite so.
Randy: Can we switch gears for a second and talk about how charity becomes involved in donations of tangible property, whether it's art or jewelry or something else?
Larry: Sure. I think first and foremost we need to make sure that, if it's going to be considered for a charity, that that particular charity meets what the tax code refers to as the related use provision. In essence, it means that the object being donated can be put to a related use, meaning it's part of the purpose and function of that particular charity. For example, if you had a painting, obviously to a museum or to a university gallery, that's being put to a related use. In such instances, you would qualify for a full fair market value charitable deduction, which you could take over six years if you like, or you could take it sooner depending on your Adjusted Gross Income.
If on the other hand you had that same painting and you wanted to gift it, say, to the American Red Cross, since art is not part of its purpose and function, you would only be entitled to a cost-basis deduction. That would take away the allure of you wanting to make that gift to the American Red Cross, unless of course the cost basis and the fair market value are pretty close. Then you could make the gift to the American Red Cross.
Randy: Or, to the extent that you couldn't absorb the income tax deduction over the six years, it might not make that much of a difference?
Larry: Uh-huh.
Randy: Okay. We were going the same direction.
Larry: Sure, but it's picking the cherries carefully, that they're qualified, that they'll have an interest in receiving an object or a collection, and that it be put to a related use. Some of the charities that are interesting that would qualify besides museums, higher education, would include hospitals, long-term care facilities, children's hospitals, and select charities that have an educational component to their mission, which would enable the donor to get that full fair market value deduction.
Randy: Right. How does that conversation start?
Larry: Well, my recommendation would be to pose a couple of questions to the donor, and by doing so, it's my opinion the donor would be impressed that you've shown an interest and be more inclined to share more about their collection with you. It may even in some instances, Randy, improve the relationship. Those questions include what do you collect and what inspired you to collect it, when did your interest in collecting begin, has your vision of collecting remained the same, do you have advice to existing or new collectors, and very importantly, have you made arrangements for a lifetime or an estate transfer of your collection.
This I think potentially sparks interest in putting together a team of professionals to assist the planned giving professional, so he or she can back up some of these questions with the ability to perform what's needed to facilitate the gift. It's somewhat of a triangular relationship, Randy, comprised of an independent visual arts advisor, a financial advisor and legal counsel.
Randy: Each of those, hopefully they're working with each other so that there's good communication back and forth, but each does fulfill a very specific role. Maybe you want to just explain a little bit how that team might function together, Larry.
Larry: Sure. The visual arts advisor first spends time with the collector and talks about the collection itself, which is the type of question financial advisors and legal counsel would typically not ask, simply because it's not part of their training and experience. I find that when I spend time with a collector and hear about what they enjoy collecting and why it's important to them, they will reveal a great deal about their collecting strategy but also about themselves.
If I may digress for a second, recently I was called upon to visit a collector on the Upper West Side of New York City in a one-bedroom apartment. The gentleman taught piano and showed me his collection. Imagine, Randy, in a one-bedroom New York City apartment of I'd say 600 square feet, that there was no room for anything but the objects that were displayed literally cheek by jowl throughout the apartment. There was room for almost nothing except for his beloved piano. I was thinking of a good first question to ask, not the value or how many objects or how many years he's been collecting. I tried something offbeat, so I turned to him and I said, "Who does the cleaning?"
Randy: That probably caught him off guard.
Larry: Oh, it did indeed. He said, "I do the cleaning," and from there we built a relationship.
Randy: The ultimate end of that conversation was what?
Larry: Well, it led to a gift of some 1,500-plus objects to a major museum.
Randy: There you go.
Larry: To answer your question, what I did is I liaised with the financial advisor, who was familiar with his financial circumstances, so that we made the gift in such a way that he realized the greatest tax benefit. Legal counsel was also crucial in putting together some of those legal issues, the due diligence and so forth that needed to be done.
Randy: When a collection of that size is given to a museum, are they also anxious to get funds to support that collection, or permission to sell off some of the collection to support it? This has been something that's come up for me a few times, and I'm just curious as to your experience.
Larry: Sure. In the first instance, occasionally an endowment is provided, and that of course is magnificent if you can do it, not only to create ongoing costs for displaying the collection and providing publications and maybe providing even an endowment to include a professor teaching that area of collecting, but it becomes again something occurs from time to time. Usually the recipients, whether they be museums, higher education, charities, they do have some discretionary funds available that they can bring to bear to help with the collection.
As for selling some of these objects, what the museums and galleries refer to as deaccessioning needs to be done very carefully because they don't want to compromise the integrity of the collection, and they certainly don't want to sell anything before it's been put to a related use, which would mean a minimum of three years.
Randy: Right, and that's really important. That's a rule that a lot of people don't understand. Along with the appraisal rules, the deaccessioning rules are very, very important for the advisor community that this publication goes to, to really wrap their arms around.
Larry: That's right, and no recipient wants to run afoul of their sister organizations by gaining the reputation of taking in objects and then quickly selling them, without first putting them to a related use. Obviously that jeopardizes the tax deduction of the donor, but it also potentially compromises the integrity of the collection.
Randy: Sure. What about those families ... and I know we were supposed to be talking about philanthropy, but this is something I've found, is that often the next generation is not nearly as interested in the collection as the collecting generation. Almost it feels to me a lot like a family business. Sometimes you have kids that want to be in the business, and sometimes you have kids that don't. I think sometimes you have kids that love the collection and sometimes you don't. How do you deal with those kind of family dynamics?
Larry: Very carefully. I try to sit down with them and discuss the collection, whether the children do indeed share the enthusiasm and great passion that their parents do. When they don't, then we need to put in play a lifetime plan that takes into consideration the inevitable, and that is when a parent or both parents pass, what then is going to be done with the collection. If it can't be resolved during lag time, then you have potential problems because the value of the collection upon death will then be stepped up in value, and then the value will be subtracted from the overall estate.
Because there is no interest in keeping the collection, oftentimes attorneys or others will come in and just try to sell whatever is there at but a fraction of the full fair market value, simply to liquidate it to either pay state taxes or to use it for other purposes. My recommendation would be to deal with it during one's lifetime, and if the family is not interested ... the children's family ... in keeping the objects, an arrangement should be made to sell it during the lifetime.
Randy: Yes. Every time I see "estate sale" or "from the estate of," I realize that it's usually a liquidity problem that the family just hasn't planned for, and they're selling things at fire sale prices. When a lot of any type of asset hits a very small market, it automatically is going to drive the prices down, and of course the estate tax is due nine month from the date of death, so you're really forced to sell on a very short time frame. It's not a good situation if collectors don't plan effectively.
Larry: Precisely, and it cannibalizes the collection that their parents spent a lifetime accumulating.
Randy: It never ceases to amaze me how often that happens.
Larry: I'm afraid so.
Randy: Larry, do you have anything to add as we wrap up, or any closing thoughts?
Larry: I would just recommend that planned giving professionals think about that triangular team that can be brought to bear, so they can raise these questions with owners with confidence, knowing that they have the support.
Randy: That is excellent advice. I'm going to say thank you, Larry, for your time today, and we will include your contact information. If any of our readers or listeners want to get in touch with you, we'll make sure they're able to do that.
Larry: Thank you very much.

Sweater Weather
Can I be honest with ya'll for just a moment? When I shot this look, it was about 75 degrees out. And today, the high was 72 degrees. It's safe to say, it is the opposite of sweater weather down here! Now since we've got that out of the way, let's talk about this look, shall we?!
I'm so happy the "no white after Labor Day" rule is practically non-existent anymore. Because if people still believed in that rule, I would have never been able to get away with this out and winter whites wouldn't be a thing.
Would ya'll believe me if I told ya'll I put this outfit together on a whim? I pinky promise I did. I saw the sweater and thought about what bottoms to put on. I have this one pair of dark wash jeans I always wear if I'm not wearing my black jeans (because I'm addicted to black jeans) but I just wasn't feeling the whole "dark bottom, light top" combo. Instead, I opted for my white jeans that I only had the chance of wearing a few times this past summer. Can you say, winner?! Not to mention, I am LIVING in my Kenneth Cole Reaction booties! They go with just about everything.
*I got this sweater on MAJOR clearance from Banana Republic during one of those massive 4th of July weekend sales earlier this year and am sooo happy I did. I will link some similar options later this week!*
See you back here tomorrow!
