by Noreen Herzfeld, Professor of Science and Religion at St. John's University
A reviewer of my recent book Technology and Religion wrote that one weakness of the book was that I did not clearly delineate between religion and ethics, and that the book would have been more properly titled "Technology and Ethics." In pondering that criticism, I found myself wondering what the reviewer might have said to Moses: "Hey Mose, enough with telling us what to do or not do — give us ten philosophical concepts about God." Or to Jesus, "What's all this about feeding the hungry or giving up one's cloak — we want theology." Which is to say, religion at its source deals less with concepts than with actions. It tells us what to do and, as the ancient monastic tradition has it, it is in the doing that we come to find out what we believe.
So what are we to do? If we look at the figure of Jesus in the Gospel of Mark we find that the majority of his actions are to "heal the sick and help the suffering." In the book of Acts the disciples follow the same path. Science, through its offspring of technology, gives us tools to do likewise. Pharmaceuticals, genetic engineering, modern prostheses, new crops, nanotechnology — these all give us new ways to heal the sick and help the suffering. Even the humble solar flashlight is a life changer for many in rural Africa, allowing children to study at night or frighten away wild animals. Peter Gatuoth, a Sudanese refugee writes: "In case of thief, we open our solor and the thief ran away. If there is a sick person at night we will took him with the solor to health center." Science and technology give us new ways to live our faith and show love to our neighbor.
But who is our neighbor? When asked this question, Jesus told the story of the good Samaritan, a story that enlarged one's duties beyond the expected boundaries of nation and clan. Technology enlarges the neighborhood even further. The advent of new communication, information, and transportation technologies means we encounter one another, not only on the road, but in cyberspace and over the airwaves. We live in a world in which transactions happen on a planetary scale in real time. Money moves from the halls of Wall Street to the trading floors of Singapore with the click of a mouse. A protest in Beirut appears on television screens from Buenos Aires to Tokyo as it occurs. Pollution drifts from China to the forests of British Columbia. Western induced melting in the Arctic threatens the Maldives. The global is now local; the road to Jerusalem is everywhere.

2015 Leadership Recognition Award- Kurt and Cary Schoessow
Kurt and Cary Schoessow have been active in Ozaukee County 4-H for most of their lives. Cary (nee Rathke) was an active member of Little Kohler 4-H Club, especially in the Beef Project. True love blossomed in the old Beef Barn where she met Kurt Schoessow from Lindenwood 4-H Club. The two married and had three children: Casey, Kallie & Jessie-born & raised in Lindenwood 4-H Club. They have remained heavily involved in Ozaukee 4-H.
Cary is a former Co-General Leader with Lindenwood. She has been a Project Leader for 23 years, is the current Leathercraft Leader, and has organized the Club's Variety Show Acts for over a decade. She has helped with the Recruitment Fairs. Cary also donates much of her time and talents through her business: Letters & Signs, to the 4-H Program. She is a quiet, humble volunteer who works behind the scenes at sales, performances, and many other 4-H events.
Kurt has been the Beef Project Leader for the last 7 years. He has also served as the Livestock Association Vice President and President, planning out the events & education for the Livestock Program throughout the year. This demands much time, organization and commitment.
Their family has been heavily involved in the Livestock Auction for many years, assembling a committed group of youth and adults to carry out the many facets of the Livestock Program, including running a successful Auction.
Outside of 4-H, they are very active in their church and with the Farm Bureau. Kurt is an employee with the city of Mequon. Cary runs her business-Letters and Signs. They both continue to farm and raise beef cattle on their family farm in Mequon.
Its families like theirs, with their passion & dedication, that keeps 4-H and the Fair valuable in the community. Without their continued efforts, our 4-H youth would miss out of the examples they set: dedication, loyalty, friendship, faith, the value of family, and the need for hard work. Their smiles and efforts, and their children's growth through 4-H, are a true testament on how 4-H unites and bring communities together. Congratulations on being very worthy recipients of this year's Leadership Recognition Award!
2014 Leadership Recognition Award- Jody Brzezinski
Along with all the work that Jody does for the Lindenwood members as a General Leader, she is extremely active at the county level. Jody has contributed endless hours to benefit Ozaukee County 4-H youth for many years. She is serving her second three-year term on the Leaders Association Board, and previously has served as sole advisor of the 4-H Ambassadors. Jody also works tirelessly on the Haunt Committee, the National 4-H Week Library Exhibits, and organizes the Recruitment Fair in the southern part of the county. Jody also serves on the Ozaukee County Fair Board.
Jody truly deserves this award. She lives and breathes 4-H, not only in her club, but in her community and state as well. She readily accepts challenges from both adults and youth. She willingly steps in when needed and has been vital to a smooth transition in Youth Educators in the past few years. Not only does Jody play a major role in the success of the Ozaukee County 4-H Program, she instills enthusiasm, excitement, and positive growth of character for today's youth.

Sue has stayed involved in 4-H, though both of her sons have long since graduated from the program. She promotes 4-H to everyone she comes into contact with. She is always willing to help wherever she is needed. While this applies to many 4-H Leaders, Sue sets herself apart in her genuine passion for the constant improvement of the youth, the families, the Leaders and herself.

|Reuben Otis Shively
The following newspaper articles were located relating to Rueben Otis Shively of Santa Ana, Orange County, California. In an article from The San Jose Daily Mercury, Thursday Morning, November 26, 1903, Page 4, Columns 3 and 4 was the picture at the left and the following information:
Reuben O. Shively Dies In Santa Ana
Was For Many Years A Prominent Merchant In This City, Where He Had Many Friends
Many of his old friends in this city have just heard with regret of the death of Reuben Otis Shively at Santa Ana. Mr. Shively, who was about 60 years of age, was for many years a prominent merchant in this city. His death occurred at his home, 423 East First street, Santa Ana, on the 22nd of November. The funeral was held from the family residence on Monday last, the interment being at Santa Ana Cemetery.
Over a quarter of a century ago, Mr. Shively, accompanied by his brother, B. F. Shively, came to San Jose, and started a small dry goods store on South First street, where Hale's is now located. After a short time they sold out to O. A. Hale & Co., not only in San Jose, but in several cities in California. Mr. Shively then opened what he called the "Nine Cent Store," on South First street near the First National Bank. J. L. Stull and Louis Sonniksen, now of the firm of Stull & Sonniksen, were employed as clerks. Mr. Stull was a nephew of Mr. Shively.
Mr. Shively later removed further down South First street in the Letitia block, where he remained a few years. He then disposed of his dry goods business and went to Santa Ana.
During his long residence here Mr. Shively took an active interest in public affairs and the upbuilding of the city. He organized the first Chamber of Commerce and was President of that organization for a long time. In connection with his dry goods business he published occasionally a paper called "The Pathfinder," which was distributed about the county. In this paper he would set forth the superior bargains he was offering, and at the same time encourage local and other improvements. He was a progressive citizen.
After going to Santa Ana Mr. Shively became largely interested in the raising of chickens and other fowls. He has lately been publishing with Claire Cottle, a newspaper called the "Santa Ana Leader". Claire Cottle, formerly of this city, a son of Mr. and Mrs. B. H. Cottle, married Miss Pearl Shively.
Mr. Shively was a native of Canton, Ohio. He came to San Jose from South Bend, Indiana. His brother, B. F. Shively, was a Congressman from the Fifth District of Indiana. He leaves a wife and daughter, the latter being Mrs. Claire Cottle.
In the above article is the mention of Pearl Shively, daughter of R. O. Shively. A newspaper obituary was located for her in The San Jose Mercury Herald, Sunday Morning, January 4, 1914, Page 5, Column 2:
Mrs. Clair H. Cottle Dies In San Francisco
Was Formerly Pearl Shively, And Was Born In This City
Many old San Joseans will hear with sorrow of the death in San Francisco, December 31, of Mrs. Clair H. Cottle, who was Pearl Shively, daughter of the late R. O. Shively, was born and spent her girlhood days in this city. Those who knew her will recall her lovely disposition, her sunny smile, her hearty handshake and her word worth while, which made one leave her feeling better.
The deepest sympathy will be felt for her bereaved husband, children and mother, who start the new year with this load of sorrow on their hearts, which only time and the Great Healer can lighten.

While we hear accusations against Trump for saying rude things, Democrat misogyny is buried by the media.
Here are the first two paragraphs of a story about accusations of violent Democrat misogyny. Do you think the L.A. Times would write about a Republican offender the same way?
Baldwin Park City Councilwoman Susan Rubio said in court Thursday she is fearful her husband, Assemblyman Roger Hernández, will retaliate against her because of his poor showing in the state's primary election.
Rubio is seeking a domestic violence restraining order against Hernández, a Democrat from West Covina. The assemblyman was dogged by allegations that he repeatedly beat his estranged wife as he ran for Congress.
Trending: Science is Settled
No mention of Hernández's party affiliation in the lead paragraph or the headline.
Hernández denies the charges and nothing has been proven yet. But this is not the first domestic violence accusation. Back in 2012, the Times reported,
A woman has filed an emergency protective order against Assemblyman Roger Hernandez, alleging that the West Covina lawmaker had physically abused her and that she feared for her safety, authorities said Monday.
About 7 p.m. Sunday, police responded to a disturbance call at the Lazy Dog restaurant in West Covina, Police Chief Frank Wills said. Hernandez had left the scene by the time authorities arrived, but the woman appeared shaken up.
"The alleged victim made the statement that she was concerned for her personal safety and that Mr. Hernandez was erratic," Wills said.
In that story, Hernández's party affiliation was left out entirely. No point in making it easier for anyone who wanted to search for Democrat misogyny. I suppose with such stellar examples as the deceased Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton, and Anthony Wiener, the preferred narrative of the media is already too vulnerable.
So remember, no matter what you see and hear, there is a war on women by Republicans. Stories of Democrat misogyny don't matter.

The Ashes get under way in Cardiff next week and Sheffield's Joe Root is the bookies' favourite with the bat.
Root has a game that suits a high-pressure atmosphere and so it's hardly surprising to see him rated at just 11/4 by Winner.com to be England's top scorer with the bat, although Ben Stokes (9/1, William Hill) is also set to attract cash. For the tourists, Steven Smith is the choice at 9/4 with Skybet.
England are underdogs at 4/1 (Paddy Power) to reclaim the Urn. The Baggy Greens arrive as Stan James's 2/5 jollies with Mitchell Johnson – England's tormentor-in-chief in the last Series, rediscovering his form.
There seems to be some disagreement amongst bookies regarding the likely extent of an Aussies success, with a crushing 4-0 scoreline favoured amongst some but chalked up at 7/1 by Winner.com and 3-1 considered more realistic elsewhere; bet365's 15/2 about the latter probably appeals more in terms of value. Alternatively, punters expecting England to cause an upset can tackle Skybet's 16/1 about them shading it 2-1 and betway mark 8/1 against the series ending all square.
Next week's First Test at the SWALEC Stadium is even money at Ladbrokes to go the way of Michael Clarke's side, bet365 consider England to be 3/1 chances and it's 9/4 with Stan James to prove inconclusive in South Wales; the famous British weather potentially a pivotal factor in that kind of wager.
*Lewis Hamilton holds a ten-point lead from team mate Nico Rosberg going into this weekend's British Grand Prix. The pair have traded victories of late with the German coming out on top in Austria last time out it's Hamilton that gets the nod on home soil, Stan James quoting the Brit at 4/7 at Silverstone, where Rosberg is 15/8 (BetVictor).
Hamilton is also odds-on, this time at 8/15 with Paddy Power, to claim pole position and the two Mercedes drivers are 4/9 at Ladbrokes to occupy the first couple of places on the podium.

Paper Brick is a series of wall decals that have been designed to have a three dimensional appearance even though they are only two dimensional. It is this illusory quality that really makes them stand out, figurative and literally. Like a chic and decorative version of Tetris, in place of bright blocks of color, the Paper Brick are envisioned in wood.
Designed for the Japanese lifestyle magazine Pen by Nendo, the Paper Brick series can be enjoyed as wall decor or as an active puzzle. Described as a toy first and foremost, the masterminds behind it write that "if put together carefully, the blocks stack into one large cube." It is fun and intriguing to look at.

On Oct. 9, 2001, an Islamic law court in the State of Sokoto in northern Nigeria ordered Safiyatu Huseini Tungar Tudu to be buried up to her head and shoulders and stoned to death. Sufiya had been found guilty of having sexual intercourse outside marriage. Her child, Adama, 8 months old at the time of the trial, was the evidence used to condemn her. Malam Yakubu Abubakar, the man Sufiya claimed was the father of the child, was set free. He could not be convicted without a confession or the testimony of four trustworthy males. And since only two policemen said he had confessed to sexual intercourse with Sufiya, their testimony was insufficient. The confession was also overruled when Yakubu withdrew it in court.
Sufiya alleged at her trial that Yakubu had used charms and magic to overpower her. She is a woman from a very poor economic background, with no education and conditioned all her life to be subservient to men. She had no say about when, with whom or indeed how often she would marry. Sufiya was married for the first time at the age of 12 to a man who later divorced her. Cultural and economic dynamics required that she marry again as soon as possible. But that marriage, too, came to an end. At 19 she was a single mother, with four children, who had been married twice. Sufiya has since said that the conception of her daughter was due also to the use of physical force to rape her. She said this at a time when the claim offered grounds for an appeal to save her. But in Nigerian society it is a great shame for a woman to admit to police and family that she has been raped. Moreover, Sufiya did not have proper legal representation.
Sufiya subsequently succeeded in getting a stay of execution, and an appeal on her behalf was heard on Jan. 14. This appeal was adjourned until March 18.
Her case is made more complex because of the larger context. At stake, besides her own life and the prospect that a baby girl will be deprived of her mother, is a political, religious and gender struggle in Nigeria that has implications for the rest of Africa and, indeed, the world.
Nearly a third of Nigeria's 36 states have now adopted some form of sharia (Islamic fundamentalist law), which opposes pluralism and rejects Christianity. It decrees, for example, death by stoning for adultery, flogging for fornication and amputation for theft. Those who uphold this law say it is the law of Allah and cannot, therefore, be criticized as barbaric, cruel or unjust. They also hold that the decadence in the West cries out for the kind of moral regeneration that sharia offers. Viewed from the perspective of this law and the religious ideology behind it, movements concerned with gender equality, human rights and a synthetic approach to knowledge and the findings of modern science are not only suspect, but dangerous. (D.N.A. testing, which could at least show if Yakubu is the father of Adama, is not admissible evidence in the case against Sufiya.)
There is danger that Nigeria will break up and cease to be one country. Last year riots between Christians and Muslims in the northern state of Kaduna, where Muslims sought to introduce sharia for the whole population, left around 2,000 dead. Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo, the president of the Federal Republic, who is neither a Muslim nor a northerner, is skittish about tackling the Muslim fundamentalist rulers of the northern states, where a strict version of Islam is in the ascendancy. He is also nervous about playing a political role in the struggle against the southern states, where Christians are in the majority. Obasanjo's minister for justice and attorney general, Bola Ige, was assassinated in his home on Dec. 23, 2001, and his chief aide was stabbed to death two weeks later. Ige was an outspoken opponent of what was happening in the north of the country and of sharia. He had stated that the federal government would not allow Sufiya to be stoned and that if she were, he would have those who carried out the stoning arrested for homicide. The case of Sufiya, therefore, is in some ways a struggle about the future of Nigeria.
Grounds for Appeal
At the court of appeal on Jan. 14, Sufiya sat silently as her lawyer announced she was withdrawing the accusation of rape that she had made after the original trial in October. He also stated that she was basing her appeal on the grounds that a previous husband was the father of Adama, and that the pregnancy occurred before the introduction of sharia in her home state of Sokoto.
There is no way of knowing whether Sufiya was raped or not. Her situation as an uneducated woman left her vulnerable to the use of psychological force against her that could affect the quality of her consent. It is also true that because of the allegation of rapewhich was made after her trial, when it became clear that she was now fighting for her lifeshe might not be taken seriously by an appeals court. There is also evidence to suggest that her family pressured her into this line of defensewhich does not, of course, mean that she was not raped.
Her lawyer, however, would have been aware of the weakness of a defense based on rape in a sharia court because of the example of Bariya Ibrahim Magazu. In January 2001, a sharia court found her guilty of adultery and sentenced her to 100 lashes with a cane. (It is unclear if she is 14 or 17.) They added another 80 lashes to her sentence, however, when she said she became pregnant after being raped by three men. After the men were questioned, she was convicted of lying. Her word about having been raped did not count in the face of their denials.
Sufiya's lawyer decided not to seek to have Yakubu present in court to answer questions about the charge of rape made against him. The lawyer justified himself by saying, [Yakubu] has been acquitted; why should he be made to suffer again? He also said that he had been pressured to drop the case, and that his concern was to show that Sufiya could be spared in a way that complies with sharia. The impression, therefore, is that truth is not a major concern. Rather, his concern is to adopt a strategy that may succeed in both having Sufiya freed and satisfying others who are involved. Sufiya can be acquitted, according to sharia, if it is accepted that a previous husband is Adama's father, and especially if that is accepted along with the point that the law should not be applied to Sufiya retroactively.
International Response
Thousands of messages have been received by Nigerian embassies in different parts of the world protesting this case. Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, the International Campaign Against the Death Penalty, the Sant' Egidio Community, religious congregations, Unicef, Romano Prodi, as president of the European Commission, and a group of European parliamentarians are just some of those who have taken up Sufiya's case. The result of these efforts is an impressive international campaign on behalf of a woman who is among the poorest in the world and who, because of different standards of legal evidence for men and women, inadequate legal representation and a culture that is biased against women, faces an appalling death, while the man she said at her trial was the father of her child is allowed to walk away free.
This huge response of the international public to her plight may also, however, be a testimony to more than heartfelt concern for a young mother and her daughter, an angry reaction against the treatment of women, a vigorous defense of the right to life, an assertive protest against authoritarianism and a demand for justice and fairness. It may also indicate concern for safety from a worldview that carries the very real threat of cruelty, and a closed mind under the guise of providing an authoritative morality and religion for people's own good.

BWW Reviews: Utah Repertory Theater Company's SIDE SHOW is Engaging and Poignant
Side Show at the Echo Theatre in Provo is an engaging, poignant, and thought-provoking theatrical experience. The production is a fine debut for the newly christened Utah Repertory Theater Company (formerly the Utah Musical Theatre Company).
Side Show (book and lyrics by Bill Russell and music by Henry Krieger) is an underrated gem that was nominated for four Tony Awards, including Best Musical, in 1998--a highly competitive year that included The Lion King, Ragtime, and The Scarlet Pimpernel as the other contenders. The musical tells the true story of the rise to fame of conjoined twins Daisy and Violet Hilton in the 1930s. It focuses on their personal lives, including their desires to find love and start families of their own.
Adrien Swenson and Angela Jeffries are perfection as Daisy and Violet, respectively. Their beautiful singing voices--two of the best in Utah--are both powerful and tender. The two women also act superbly; they express realistic emotion and differentiate their characters while maintaining the illusion that they are identical twins. They fortuitously bear an uncanny resemblance to one another--so much so that when they first appear it can take a moment to tell them apart.
Aleksndr Arteaga as Terry Connor, Taylor Eliason as Buddy Foster, and Cooper Howell as Jake all add great voices to the show. They each have crucial scenes and songs in which they shine.
The ensemble is talented overall but sometimes lacks the tightness that would be the hallmark of a professional production. The director/producer, Johnny Hebda, made the bold choice to have the "freaks" from the sideshow inhabit all the supporting roles. This concept is hit and miss due to a lack of cohesiveness and consistency in costuming and performance. Otherwise, the costumes by Dana Anquoe are well-designed and add a good sense of time and place.
Excitingly, Johnny Hebda has succeeded in creating the feeling that the audience is in attendance at an actual sideshow. This was achieved through the choice of the intimate venue, the simple abstract set that consists of mostly a curtain and posters of the "freaks," and the entertaining preshow of actual sideshow stunts.
Unfortunately, due to technical issues, the audience was left waiting outside in the cold until a half hour after the preshow was to begin while cast and crew prepped in the theatre. This provided a poor first impression that proved to be a disservice to the high quality of the production. In addition, there were a few distracting costume and prop malfunctions at the reviewed performance, but the collective strength of the production as a whole made up for anything lacking in the individual elements.
Regardless of any quibbles that could be made, Side Show is unequivocally worth the time, effort, and money to attend for any serious musical theatre fan in Utah. The story is intriguing, the characterizations welcome empathy, and the music is glorious. In addition, the chance to see Adrien Swenson and Angela Jeffries in these roles is not one to be missed.
Side Show plays at the Echo Theatre in Provo through February 2, 2013. To buy tickets and for more information, visit www.utahmusicaltheatrecompany.com.

text: Double sided printed circuit boards are used where a complex circuit with more number of ICs is to be accommodated. For preparing double sided PCB, base material has copper-clad on both the sides. The connection from one side of the board are taken to the other side using a plated through holes. Thus, the difference in processing a double sided PCB is processing of plated through hole. Initially base material is selected as copper clad and pre drilling is necessary. The copper clad is coated with photo resist. The positive of the artwork is kept pressed with copper clad and exposed to ultra violet light. This process protects part of the board from being plated. This process is known as masking. The exposed unwanted part of the artwork forms precipitate. Plating should be done through holes and around them on both sides of the boards. The exposed board is cleaned with various acids, and then dipped in SnCl2 activation solution. The unexposed part is activated. The board is tinned by electrolysis. The holes and track are tinned. Then the board is developed in developer to remove the precipitate on the unwanted part. Final finish is then gives to the board by cutting it in required shape.

FIFE, Wash. - A driver's dash cam was rolling the moment a tree came crashing down on a car on Interstate 5 near Fife Wednesday afternoon.
Driver Radimer Lewis Sr. was just a few cars behind when the tree fell across the roadway near 70th Street and slammed on top of a Toyota Prius.
Watch Dash cam captures tree fall on car:
A 54-year-old woman who was driving the Prius was knocked unconscious and was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with head injuries. As of 10:00 p.m. hospital staff said she was listed in satisfactory condition.
Traffic was backed up on I-5 for at least 10 miles as State Department of Transportation crews removed the fallen tree from the roadway.
No word yet on what caused the tree to fall.

Corbyn hails "gains in every nation and region" despite party's third defeat
Theresa May now has no authority and no mandate, Jeremy Corbyn said today, as he published a video thanking everyone who voted for Labour. He said there was no public wish for a "race to the bottom Brexit". Corbyn's position appeared far more secure today, even though Labour lost a third consecutive election, because of the party's increase in both votes and the number of seats. "Labour has made gains in every nation and region of Britain", he added.

One advantage that EditThis offers is the ability to create either a single wiki page or an entire wiki website. There appears to be no upload or user limits on this site. The main drawback to EditThis is that it can be a bit technical for some people and every page has an ad on the bottom.
PBWiki is a wiki that is integrated with PBWorks, a set of online collaboration tools.

Wetpaint is another free wiki-site that some faculty on campus use. However, the site contains many distracting advertisements.
In addition to the above wiki-hosting sites, some other sites may provide wiki-like functions or the ability to integrate a wiki even though they may not specifically be a wiki. An example would be Google Sites which provides the option for this.

Let's face it: a shopping experience shouldn't play out like a scavenger hunt.
Too often customers are forced to search through a warehouse-like environment as they comb over large amounts of inventory to find the products that meet their needs. Racks are stuffed, it's difficult to find sizes, and complementary items are all the way across the store. Helpful product experts and stylists are few and far between—if they exist at all.
When consumers have the option to quickly and easily find a product online or go to a store that caters to their needs, why would they choose this traditional retail experience? As evidenced by store closings, they won't.
In fact, 80% of people say they would actually be willing to pay more if they could be guaranteed a good experience. This is why it's important to provide an experience that caters to customer's needs throughout the buyer's journey—to both grow and retain your customer base.
Design Your Experience Around Customer Needs
It's becoming clear that early, positive interaction with a brand is key to earning a customer's business. McKinsey and Company explain in detail why marketers need to "win attention for their brands at the very beginning of a shopper's journey." In McKinsey's Loyalty Loop, the buyer's journey starts off with the consumer considering an initial set of brands.
However, we believe that marketers need to back up a bit. The consumer does not start a journey by considering a set of brands; the consumer starts a buyer's journey by identifying a need to fill or a job to complete.
Early on in the buyer's journey, they're asking themselves "why?" As in "Why do I need to solve this problem?" During this critical moment, brands must offer the experience that drives an emotional memory and ultimately a conversation. Customers remember these touchstones and will want to continue to interact with a brand that stirs a positive feeling of reassurance.
Related: How to Decode Customer Needs with the Buyer's Journey Framework
For example, let's say you own a specialty retail store that sells makeup. The job women are trying to complete is to achieve a certain look; perhaps it's a day-to-day style at the office, or maybe for a special occasion. Some women may be looking to learn the basics. Perhaps there's another segment that's looking to shop for a gift.
As they begin their journey, these shoppers are browsing for a trusted partner to help them complete these jobs. Early stage content should therefore focus on demonstrating that the brand can be a helpful, trusted advisor through helpful tips, tutorials and recommendations. Imagine videos on how to properly apply concealer and foundation to cover blemishes; graphics on how to use blush and bronzer to maintain a healthy glow in the winter; product guides and demonstrations on how to achieve red carpet looks; etc.
Once this browser has decided to visit your store, you must also create a physical experience around these jobs:
- Seamlessly connect the online experience to the in-store experience (e.g. if the customer created a profile online, in-store stylists should review which content and products the customer engaged with and converse contextually based on those interests).
- Offer complete make-up application tutorials based on each shopper's desired look and level of experience.
- Create video recordings of the tutorials that can be sent to their mobiles to refer to afterward.
- Create custom wish lists that they can return to later (online or in store).
- Provide product specialists to recommend gift-able items for specific occasions.
This approach helps the shopper complete her job, which naturally leads to a desire for the product.
Sephora is known for taking this sort of approach to designing an experience around customer needs. The digital experience actually allows browsers to select from drop-down menus of challenges to get product recommendations. For example, a browser can search for a mask that's for combination skin and will give my pores a detox.
When viewing individual products online, Sephora provides a plethora of helpful information. Browsers can see product details (like key ingredients and their benefits, what sort of skin the product recommended for), full ingredient lists, and directions for use. The brand also offers free tutorials and personalized makeup applications through its loyalty program, Beauty Insider.
Once a shopper visits a Sephora store, the physical experience delivers, as well—and connects right into the digital experience. Customers can scan their faces to get their Color IQ, a reference number used to find products that match their skin tones, or sit at digital workstations to take classes in contouring cheekbones. A virtual look book provides a catalog that gives inspiration for a personalized beauty program, while the Virtual Artist service is a way to test looks on an iPad or a connected mirror equipped with thousands of looks. And of course, Sephora also offers Beauty Classes with makeup lessons and workshops led by beauty professionals, plus skincare services with a personal diagnostic.
These experiences are unique and engaging, while also helping shoppers to complete the jobs.
Keep Delivering to Keep Them Coming Back
Engaging customers early on with a positive brand experience is important to pull them into a productive conversation that may (or may not) lead to an initial sale. But it doesn't stop there. It also means that these customers are more likely to return to continue the conversation and the relationship with your brand.
The woman shopping for makeup goes in, engages with the products and creates a positive emotional connection with the brand. Maybe she buys some items at that time, maybe not. But this early experience catering to her needs/job to complete is likely to draw her back in when she does want to make a purchase (or subsequent purchases).
When you start a buyer's journey with a memorable experience, it helps to build an emotional connection that lives forward with the individual.
Take a cue from the Magic Kingdom. Disney in many aspects, was decades ahead of its time. When you take your family to Disney, you don't think you're going on a retail experience—it's a vacation! But is, in fact, a retail experience, and a magnificent one, at that. The brand creates experiences and emotional memories that stick with visitors for a lifetime by tantalizing all five senses throughout. When you then have moments throughout your life in which you're considering a Disney product (or another vacation), those emotions bubble to the top and influence your buying decision.
The catch is that these buyers continue to engage with your brand because they appreciate the experience. Your brand must continue to deliver on this experience or many of your customers will jump ship. It's not one and done. It's a continued commitment to meeting customer needs—but it all starts with that initial experience of the brand.
Look Beyond the Transaction

"TEnnessee Laughs" is an unlikely title for an evening of one-act plays by an author whose works are hardly known for their humorous content. Yet that is how Tennessee Williams's recent world premiere, tagged together with two previously written one-acts, was billed at the Goodman Theater's studio theater here.
There were some funny moments, to be sure, in "Some Problems for the Moose Lodge," whose plot concerns a couple just back from attending the funeral of their eldest son. But in typical Williams style the greater impression was of the tragedy inherent in the lives of sometimes very touching characters. The major flaw in Williams's latest drama is apparent, however: While making terse comment upon the problems in today's society, including inflation and old age, he tends to throw in a sad and sometimes offensive array of characters -- which occasionally has the look of pandering to public taste.
Yet with gemlike lines here and there, Williams has given us a compelling glimpse into sometimes credible people. The very fact that the same actors who had just appeared in his earlier one-acts, "A Perfect Analysis Given by a Parrot" and "The Frosted Glass Coffin," were transformed into Southerners worthy of empathy where they had seemed mere amateurs before intermission, tells us something about the playwright's improvement over the last two efforts.
Williams insists that chicago is full of talented actors. "I wouldn't have considered casting it elsewhere," he says.
As Chicago's only true regional theater, standing midway between the commercial downtown theaters and the experimental offLoop neighborhood contingent, the Goodman continues with "Tennessee Laughs" its consideration of the sort of premieres that spawned David Mamet.
Williams has hopes to return here annually -- "if,"m he says, "I'm not too outrageous for them.

How about an API that harvests feelings from blogs? Or an API of weather forecasts? Or an API for sending phone messages via the web using text-to-speech? These are three of the most recently added entries to our API directory.
- We Feel Fine API: Good to see an intriguing, fun API like this once in awhile. As they describe: "Since August 2005, We Feel Fine has been harvesting human feelings from a large number of weblogs. Every few minutes, the system searches the world's newly posted blog entries for occurrences of the phrases "I feel" and "I am feeling". When it finds such a phrase, it records the full sentence, up to the period, and identifies the "feeling" expressed in that sentence (e.g. sad, happy, depressed, etc.). The result is a database of several million human feelings, increasing by 15,000 - 20,000 new feelings per day." A REST-based API and data is Creative Commons licensed.
- The Weather Channel API: Via their online affiliate program, The Weather Channel now provides access to an XML data feed. This enables you to search by location and to integrate current conditions and the forecast for today and tomorrow.
- Mindgram API: A voice telegram service that lets users send a text-to-speech voice message to any U.S. or Canadian telephone.

This event is unique because:
- It's run at Writer's Digest headquarters in Cincinnati
- It's run by Writer's Digest editors, whose primary objective is to help you succeed in your writing career
- Everyone receives a WD editor's critique of the first 50 pages of your manuscript, plus a 30-minute appt. with that editor
This event focuses on getting you and your manuscript ready for publication, and we concentrate on giving you concrete next steps, e.g., should you revise further, are you ready to query, do you have a marketable concept?
Because our staff and our offices are rather small, we cap attendance at 50 people, so it's a very personalized event, and part of what delighted us with December's group is the amount of networking and camaraderie that developed among the writers who spent the weekend with us. I can guarantee you'll make some new friends if you attend.

Noted composer Richard Jacques has announced that he will debut his original score for Empire Interactive's Starship Troopers as a live symphony suite at this year's GC-Games Convention concert. Members of the Prague Symphony Orchestra will perform the music on August 18th at Gewandhaus in Leipzig, Germany.
Jacques is no stranger to having his game scores performed live. In 2003 his music for Headhunter and Headhunter: Redemption was played to a sold-out Gewandhaus concert hall during the first game music symphony outside of Japan. "Richard's music is anthemic and inspiring and was so well received at the first GC concert that we decided to feature more of his work again this year," says event producer Thomas Boecker.
As for Starship Troopers, the game is based on the movie and animated series franchise of the same name. Developed internally by Empire's award winning Strangelite Studio, the game will be released on PC, and all current and next generation consoles. "Richard Jacques was the natural choice for Starship Troopers, states Ben Wilkins, producer for Empire Interactive. "His 10 years industry experience and past credits, especially in creating cinematic scores, made it abundantly clear that he was the right man for the job. We are delighted to be working with Richard."

Matt Drudge, the famous creator of the utilitarian news aggregation site, THE DRUDGE REPORT, has had his finger on the pulse of the conservative movement for years. Though he has never been exactly a "Republican party player," you could almost always count on him to at least side against the Democratic party.
But yesterday, this strange post came up on his facebook:
It's now Authoritarian vs. Libertarian. Since Democrats vs. Republicans has been obliterated, no real difference between parties…take our poll - story continues belowCompleting this poll grants you access to Eagle Rising updates free of charge. You may opt out at anytime. You also agree to this site's Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
Why would anyone vote Republican? Please give reason. Raised taxes; marching us off to war again; approved more NSA snooping. WHO ARE THEY?!
To most of us, what he's saying is no revelation. But for Matt Drudge to say it—that really is something. Whether he is displaying actual and irremediable disillusionment with the Republican party or just temporary frustration because of all the ways Republicans have lately let us down, his wholesale pronouncement indicates a larger shift in the mainstream conservative movement.
Most people, like Drudge, are done with the Republican and the Democratic Parties. We are tired of being lied to, tired of being robbed blind, tired of being internationally despised, tired of being spied on, tired of everything. More and more of us are ready to throw out the whole thing and start from scratch. For many years, the difference between Republicans and Democrats has been dwindling. That difference is basically nil now. Drudge sees it finally. Many others are finally seeing it too. But what can we do about it now?
What is there to do? I think Drudge's disillusionment (and ours) goes deeper than just our choice of political party. I think Americans have lost any hope that the political process can work to make a difference. This goes for both sides of the aisle. Republicans like to talk about how Obama supporters will stick with him no matter what—that it doesn't matter how bad things get, they'll still be willing to blame everything on Republicans. But Democrats like to talk about the same thing—only reversed. We voted for eight years of the W. And if your first thought is, "Well, he was better than Obama!" you have only proved my point. We have all been so effectively brainwashed into being pawns for the two-party seesaw mechanism. For years, we have vehemently defended our party of choice from detractors in spite of the growing, even obvious, fact that there really wasn't a detectable difference between the two. The Maverick that ran against Obama a few years ago is now in Obama's pocket. But he never wasn't. He was just playing a part, and we believed it.
But we're not believing it anymore, right? If the overwhelming public outcry means anything, people may actually be ready to flush the two-party system. The two-party power brokers are going to scream 'til they're blue and red in the states that we're wasting our vote if we vote third party. That's false. If we all vote third party, none of us will be wasting a vote. But it's time for Drudge and people like him—the mainstream conservative—to stop whining about our political catastrophe and start doing something about it.
Come next election season, the politicians will all have righted their masks and touched up their make up. Will we still see the truths about them we saw today? Will Drudge still get it? Will you?

An "exclusive"…
Last Sunday the Telegraph published "an exclusive" that, in July 2015, three Secretaries of State had written to George Osborne, the Chancellor, stating that they were minded by early 2016 to bring commercial shale production within the "DCO regime". This is the Government's bespoke fast-track development consent process for nationally significant infrastructure projects (NSIPs) under the Planning Act 2008.
The letter from Energy Secretary Amber Rudd, Communities Secretary Greg Clark and Environment Secretary Liz Truss has in fact been an open secret almost since it was sent. This is no surprise. Government is not only desperate to unlock shale gas because of growing concerns about energy security. Tax revenues from North Sea oil and gas continue to plummet, leaving dangerous gaps for a Government that wants both to balance the books and cut taxes. Planning, as is so often the case, is seen as an obstacle.
Localism versus tax receipts
The Conservative Government remains torn. As a generality, the Conservatives have always been keen for local planning authorities (LPAs) to have a first go at determining planning applications under the principle of Localism, particularly extremely controversial decisions. On the other hand, they are also mindful of the urgent commercial and security imperatives for certain decisions to be determined centrally. Who knows whether those imperatives, Localism or pure politics will ultimately prevail for fracking, particularly as we slowly edge towards another potentially close election in 2020. Of course Mr Osborne, the recipient of the July 2015 letter, may well then be contending for Prime Minister.
What's the difference?
The Telegraph's headline was 'Ministers plot to foil anti-frackers'. In this blog, however, we explore briefly whether from the promoter's perspective it would make any practical difference to the current consenting process to bring fracking into the DCO regime.
Fracking and the Town and Country Planning regime
In September 2015, Amber Rudd, the Energy Secretary, issued a Written Statement to Parliament. Between the lines there is clear frustration at Lancashire County Council's earlier rejection in June 2015 of Cuadrilla's application to drill for shale gas at Preston New Road. LPAs are seen as being too slow in progressing applications for shale planning permissions. They are also perceived not to be according enough weight to the national need for shale oil and gas.
However, all the points made in the Statement, a material consideration for LPAs, are about speeding up planning applications through the Town and Country Planning system. No mention is made of the DCO regime:
- Ms Rudd reminds LPAs that they have a sixteen week statutory timescale for determining EIA fracking applications. LPAs are told to use the £1.2m shale support programme and planning performance agreements to help them with resourcing. So, they are told, Local Government cuts are no excuse for slow determination. Promoters are told that appeals will be "treated as a priority for urgent resolution", i.e. any public local inquiries and subsequent decisions will be fast-tracked. Some might see this as an open encouragement to promoters to appeal to the Secretary of State for non-determination, if the sixteen weeks pass without a decision.
- In the Statement, Ms Rudd says she will "actively consider" calling in shale planning applications for her own determination, after an LPA has indicated how it is minded to decide them, and will give those applications priority. Presumably she is more likely to do this where the LPA proposes refusal. This also opens the door to promoters just making the application to the LPA and then writing to the Secretary of State on day one, asking for the application to be called in without letting the LPA consider it at all (though this is risky if it is not called in and remains with the LPA).
Fracking and the DCO regime
Under the Planning Act, it is compulsory for many types of NSIPs to obtain development consent rather than conventional planning permission. As noted by the leaked July 2015 letter, fracking is not one of them. However, what seems to have been missed is that the Secretary of State already has a power, at the request of a promoter, to direct that any project within the "field" of "energy" should be determined under the DCO regime. Fracking could count. So, why has nobody asked?
Still politically controversial
The first part of the answer is that no promoter likes uncertainty or "going first". The decision to allow fracking into the DCO regime, even on a project by project basis, could be as politically controversial as making fracking projects above certain thresholds compulsory NSIPs. Some of the procedural routes to do this have never even been used, for any kind of project.
Is there a point?
The second part is that with the September 2015 Statement, some promoters may wonder what the point would be.
No policy advantage
With 45 of the 47 DCO applications made (but not withdrawn) having been approved, the DCO regime enjoys an extremely high success rate. Partially this is because the decision is made by the Secretary of State rather than LPAs. In the face of the DCO regime's predominantly written consultation and examination process, and the inquisitorial approach of the Examining Authority, the role of local politics is much reduced against a dispassionate analysis of the facts and policy. And yet many would say that the certainty of the DCO regime resides in the Planning Act's in-built presumption in favour of a scheme which complies with the relevant National Policy Statement (NPS). But there is no NPS for fracking. So, policy-wise fracking is no better off under DCOs than planning permissions.
Potentially no quicker
And, following the Statement promoters are reminded that within sixteen weeks (plus some administration time with the Planning Inspectorate's schedulers), they can be in front of a Planning Inspector and en route to a centralised, Secretary of State decision in any case (all of which the Statement tells them will be treated with urgent priority).
Additionally, the DCO regime has extensive pre-application consultation requirements when compared with the relatively limited requirements for fracking applications under the Town and Country Planning Act.
Multi-stage projects
Also, fracking in any given location is a multi-stage project, in the sense that there is only a point in carrying out the exploitation phase if the exploratory phase indicates it is worthwhile. Both involve operations needing planning permission. It is only worthwhile carrying out the second phase if the first indicates it is viable to do so.
The preparation time for a DCO submission, between eighteen months and, for enormous NSIP projects, more than five years might not be worthwhile for the exploratory phase alone. The analysis may differ for fracking projects in need of compulsory acquisition powers, which can be authorised under a DCO without having to promote a separate order.
How Cuadrilla fares…
The Planning Inspectorate is due to hear Cuadrilla's appeal of Lancashire's decision in the next fortnight.
How long the Secretary of State takes to decide that appeal, and how long its public inquiry lasts, will make it clear how much force is given to the Statement of September 2015.
Most fracking applications under the DCO regime would probably still take longer overall than under the Town and Country Planning Act. Nevertheless, if all does not go well for Cuadrilla, it could reinforce views that fracking does need to be included in the DCO process, with a bespoke NPS, to provide the certainties of outcome and process required for consenting shale and gas projects.

The beauty at the center of the worst Secret Service scandal in history spoke out for the first time.
24-year-old prostitute, Dania Suarez appeared on a radio show and described how she met a group of men at a night club in Cartagena, Colombia, but did not know they were Secret Service agents.
Speaking in Spanish, she said, "One of the men said I looked very attractive. We danced, we drank and then when it was time to leave, I said, 'Well, my love, you have to give me $800. That's the little gift that I want.' He said, "Ok baby, let's go to the hotel."
She said the agent brought her back to the Hotel Caribe and claimed she saw military style uniforms and documents in his room.
"He slept all night. I could have got security information if I had wanted," she said.
The next morning, she asked for money.
"I [told] him to get up and to give me the little gift that I asked him for. He tells me, 'No, let's go.' We did not create a scene. That was a lie."
But after leaving the hotel she told a police officer what had happened.
The beauty at the center of the worst Secret Service scandal in history spoke out for the first time.

As I said before this was a fairly long pose so after rushing in and slapping down the rough sketch in Part 1, I got out a fresh sheet of paper and did a slower more careful drawing. This is not a terribly challenging pose but just try doing this for 20 minutes or more and not drifting or adjusting your hip once it gets uncomfortable. Models work Very hard. He was a lean muscular dude, but I exaggerated his muscles here a little bit. I can't remember at this point how much of this sketch I did in the classroom and how much I did later at home using reference photos and anatomy books. I don't like grossly exaggerated muscles in fantasy art any more than I like the crazy huge swords and armor.
Again working at home on both versions of this sketch one right after the other I was able to learn from the first one and do a nicer job on the second.
