Key Skills for ELA Success/
Words, Words, Words…what are they all for? I'd like to invite you to reflect on your early learning years as a young child and remember what it might have been like before you knew about sentences, paragraphs, or reports. If you find this to be challenging, then catch a glimpse of very young children (PreK or younger) and consider how they communicate. You will probably notice that words are the primary means for communication. A broad vocabulary is essential to good writing and will directly affect a student's word choice and voice in their writing.
Learning new vocabulary words, understanding analogies, delving into a word's etymology, making vocabulary cards & notebooks, taking the time to do vocabulary enrichment, mastering spelling rules, and playing with Power Words are all strategies within the Shurley English curriculum that assist your students in building and expanding their "word bank" in order to begin to own their language. Owning one's language opens the door to fully understanding how words work together in sentences, how sentences are organized and developed into paragraphs, and how being able to write for all purposes sets you up to connect with the world differently.
The path to ultimately owning one's language is making sure you as the teacher provide your students the knowledge, skill, and practice in these key skill areas:
- Alphabet
- Phonics
- Rhyming Words
- Spelling
- Reference Skills
- Figurative Lanugae
- Sound Devices
- Word Study: syllabication, etymology, analogies, synonyms/antonyms
- Comprehension: context clues, inferences, drawing conclusions
Set your students up for success by giving them the opportunity to own their language and become confident, competent communicators.

I think anyone who purchases an "adult" bicycle should pay a one-time tax at the time of purchase. Why can't bicyclists contribute? Motorists pay yearly fees and numerous taxes on gasoline. Even though electric-car owners don't pollute the environment, they do use the same roads as other vehicles. They should pay a reasonable yearly tax. Where does the money come from for bicycle paths/trails and electric stations? Tax money is allocated for new roads, road repairs, potholes, etc. Since we all benefit from these things, we all need to do our part.No offense to anyone, just one reader's opinion. –Janis Soo, Seattle Comments | More in bicycling, Transportation | Topics: Democrats, electric cars, transportation package

Menacing Hurricane Maria is being blamed for two deaths on the French overseas territory of Guadeloupe, after devastating neighboring Dominica.
According to the officials, one of the victims was killed yesterday morning by a falling tree, after not heeding orders to stay indoors. The Associated Press reported the second death today.
Two other people are reported missing after their boat sank off Desirade, the easternmost island in the French territory's archipelago. Heavy flooding has also been reported across the island.

Seven people have so far been confirmed dead as a result of Hurricane Maria's direct hit on Dominica on Monday night. But there are fears that death toll could rise as officials get into communities that have not yet been reached.
Much of the island's housing stock were either damaged or destroyed by Maria's 160 mile-per-hour winds, according to Hartley Henry, principal advisor to Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit.
"The country is in a daze – no electricity, no running water as a result of uprooted pipes in most communities and definitely [no] landline or cellphone services on island, and that will be for quite a while," Henry wrote in a message after speaking to Prime Minister Skerrit this morning via satellite phone.
"In summary, the island has been devastated. The housing stock significantly damaged or destroyed. All available public buildings are being used as shelters, with very limited roofing materials evident. The country needs the support and continued help and prayers of all."
The first aerial footage from the island, put together from a Regional Security System (RSS) aerial reconnaissance flight, shows flattened buildings, fallen trees, and strewn debris from the Category 5 hurricane.
The US Virgin Islands was also feeling the effects of the hurricane, and the NHC warned that several tornadoes are possible over both Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands today.
Maria, located about 15 miles east southeast of Arecibo, Puerto Rico, and about 25 miles west of San Juan, Puerto Rico, was moving towards the northwest near 12 miles per hour.
"On the forecast track, the center of Maria will move offshore of the northern coast of Puerto Rico during the next couple of hours. The center will then pass offshore of the northeastern coast of the Dominican Republic tonight and Thursday and then move near the Turks and Caicos Islands and southeastern Bahamas Thursday night and Friday," the NHC said.
"Little change in strength is forecast during the next 48 hours, and Maria is expected to remain a dangerous hurricane through Friday."
A hurricane warning is in effect for the US and British Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, the northern coast of the Dominican Republic, the Turks and Caicos Islands and the southeastern Bahamas, where Maria is expected to bring dangerous wind, storm surge, and heavy rainfall.
A tropical storm warning is in effect for the Dominican Republic west of Puerto Plata to the northern border of the Dominican Republic and Haiti, and the Dominican Republic west of Cabo Engano to Punta Palenque.
And a hurricane watch is in effect for the Dominican Republic, from Isla Saona to Cabo Engano.
While hurricane and tropical storm conditions are occurring over Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, tropical storm conditions are expected to begin in the warning areas in the Dominican Republic this afternoon, with hurricane conditions starting in the hurricane warning area tonight.
Tropical storm conditions are expected to begin in the Turks and Caicos Islands and the southeastern Bahamas Thursday morning, with hurricane conditions starting Thursday evening.

In mobile view, my Logo lies beneath the menu toggle. I would like to change this, and place the Logo to the top of the page and the Toggle just under it. How can I do this?
I attached a screen-shot, as my site is not live yet.
Thank you!

Hi @vladimirspasc,
I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.
Could you please share me your site URL where it's displaying so that i can help you to achieve it?
Best Regards,
MovinMarch 5, 2018 at 6:02 am #150578
Hi Movin.
As I said, the site is not live and is being run locally, therefore I can't share a URL.
Thank you for your time.March 5, 2018 at 6:19 am #150580
You can try achieving this by adding the following CSS code in the Custom CSS option of your theme on the below path.
Admin Area -> Appearance -> Customize -> Additional CSS
button.btn.navbar-toggle { position: absolute; top: 60px; } @media screen and (max-width: 780px) { div#logo { margin-bottom: 60px; } }
Please change the values 60px in the above CSS code according to your logo size.March 5, 2018 at 3:24 pm #150677
Yes, this changes the places of the elements but now the Menu Toggle slides to the left, even though I centered it previously. How to fix?
Thank youMarch 6, 2018 at 1:38 am #150762
Because We have applied absolute positioning on it.
Please change above CSS code as following and change left position value 40% to centre align it.
button.btn.navbar-toggle { position: absolute; top: 60px; left: 40%; } @media screen and (max-width: 780px) { div#logo { margin-bottom: 60px; } }March 6, 2018 at 8:13 am #150809
It works perfectly.
Thank you very much for your support.
Best regardsMarch 6, 2018 at 5:00 pm #150916
Good evening 🙂
Is everything ok now? do you need anything else?March 6, 2018 at 5:02 pm #150917

Thank you 🙂March 6, 2018 at 5:06 pm #150918

Tourlos is a small, coastal village. White houses with fresh painting windows and flowers make a magical scenery. Located on the north side of the island just 2,5 km from the town of Mykonos, offers plenty of fun choices to the tourists, like taverns and bars. Tourlos is famous for the organized beach. It's a cosmopolitan sandy beach where visitors can enjoy swimming and water sports. Historically, Tourlos beach has been known as one of the quieter, less popular beaches. However, in recent years this has changed with the development of its commercial port and the public yacht harbor. In the Tourlos is built the new port of Mykonos, where apart from ferry boats, also approach many of the cruise ships that visit Mykonos. Take a look!
On the dock of the bay
If your vacation is primarily boat based, Tourlos is a wonderful option to dock your fishing boat, motor boat or private yacht away from the crowds. If you don't have your own boat don't worry, all of the above can be rented in the area.
Like... paparazzi
In Tourlos, which has a large tourist development, many celebrities have chosen to build luxury accommodations and villas. Take a stroll and maybe you meet a famous actor or singer. Not bad at all!
So close
Mykonos Island National Airport is a mere 4 km or 7 minutes by car away from Tourlos beach. Car rentals, motorbike and bicycle rentals, an excellent local bus system, affordable taxi services, boat and yacht rentals and boat tours make your stay on Tourlos convenient with everything you need easily accessible.
DO: Dress up in marine style and enjoy a walk to the port.
DON'T: Don't miss to light a candle at he chapel of St. George Spilianos, north of the harbour, built in the cavity of a rock, which is worth visiting.

Easter symbolizes life: Jesus is alive!
|Because He lives, we also live
And just as the small chick at birth breaks out from its narrow world in the shell into a much bigger world, so too we believe that in the mystery of our own dying we will break out of our own earthly "skin", so to speak, into a new life.
Think of all that God has done for us through Jesus of Nazareth.
Jesus was baptized; anointed with the Spirit and went about proclaiming that the Kingdom of God was breaking into our midst. Eventually Jesus was crucified but then lifted up out of the grave to his heavenly Father so that he could draw us to himself into a new heavenly life.
Yes, Jesus is alive and because He lives, we live. He has passed from this earthly life through the mystery of death into a new, transformative heavenly reality. And this future is ours as well.
The disciples of Jesus could have said: How many hopes lie buried.
And yet 40-some hours after those hopes were buried, the Risen Christ appeared to the disciples: Mary Magdalene; the disciples in the upper room; and the disciples on the road to Emmaus. Yes, it was a bodily resurrection; the earthly and crucified Jesus was the same person as the resurrected Jesus.
Jesus said to the disciples: I live and because I live, we live.
No sooner are we born in the flesh than we are reborn in the spirit. Water is poured upon us in the rite of baptism, and in these waters the Spirit of God is poured out upon us, and a new life is ours: the life of the triune God.
And as we grow, the bishop anoints our forehead with oil in the sign of the cross—and God empowers us to live the demands of discipleship. At Eucharist, the Living Christ feeds us with his life to continue our journey. And in the Rite of Penance we celebrate God's mercy. For as Pope Francis says, the Church is a field hospital, there to heal wounds.
Yes, through the sacraments, privileged encounters with God, we experience the living Christ. In the exchange of wedding promises strengthening love between husband and wife. In the anointing of the sick, Christ makes easier our passage. All the sacraments are visible signs of God's providence for us.
At every Funeral Mass we hear: "For those who believe, life is not taken away, life is merely changed."
Our Easter faith proclaims loudly and clearly that the eternal life Jesus won for us through his death and resurrection, that divine life bestowed upon us in baptism and nourished in the sacramental life, will not disappear in the mystery of death.
Let every morning, like that first Easter morning, be a morning to start over, beginning again. Who among us is content? Who among us does not know a heart to heal, a relationship to mend, a lost soul to find. Easter proclaims it's a new day, a new season.

New Delhi, Oct 28 (IANS) The Congress on Saturday sought to downplay the ultimatum given by Patidar stir leader Hardik Patel to clarify its position on quotas for Patels by November 3 and said the party will respond to it.
Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera said the party did not consider Patel's remarks as a threat and added that the Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) leader had expressed his opinion.
"I do not consider it a threat. He has expressed his opinion. Congress believes in transparency and communication and not in doing deals worth crores behind curtains. Whatever he has tweeted, we will reply," Khera said at the party briefing.
Khera, at one point, however, commented on Patel's language and said "I don't think that anybody in politics speaks the language."
"He has of course expressed his views and I am glad that people do that in public domain," Khera added.
Patel, who has tried to shrug off allegations of growing close links with the Congress, on Saturday asked the Congress to come clear on PAAS' demand on quotas.
"Congress must clarify how it proposes to give reservations constitutionally by November 3, 2017. If it does not make its stand clear, an episode similar to Amit Shah could repeat in Surat," he tweeted.

Let her cast aside those flimsy sweatpants this winter by popping ZAAZEE's Zara capris under the tree. Their stretchy SUPPLEX® fabric offers a flattering fit and is luxuriously thick to avoid the curse of the see-through legging, while their wide waistband sits comfortably on the hips without any hint of digging in. Complete with a zipped key pocket and reflective detailing for visibility, these are the ultimate all-round workout capris.
Available in jet black, midnight blue and deep magenta.
Whether you're buying for a hardcore racer or casual runner, you can't go wrong with Bellum Active's Selena tank top. The top's lightweight, sweat-wicking mesh fabric will help keep her cool and dry, plus the reflective logo on the back will boost visibility. Our favourite features are the headphone loop, which stops those pesky wires from bouncing around on the run, and the edgy cut-out back design, which rings the changes from the bog-standard racer-back.
Available in black and spearmint blue.
If she's an avid music-lover, these earphones are sure to go down a storm. Yurbuds feature TwistLock™ technology, which helps them stay snugly in her ears. Each set includes two pairs of enhancers (the earbud covers) to ensure a good fit, so she can run for miles without them slipping or feeling uncomfortable.
Available in aqua, pink and purple.
Perfect for anyone on a busy schedule, these jeggings will take her from work to workout without needing to change. Their design is comfortable and super-flattering, plus the two-way stretch fabric makes them flexible enough for even the bendiest of cross-training sessions (we're looking at you, yoga).
With thermal insulation to keep those ears warm and wicking properties to beat sweat, this headband kills two winter running birds with one stone. The reflective material makes it great for nighttime runs, plus the camouflage pattern gives it some personality – ideal for any adventurous runner.
The surprisingly spacious Flipbelt features 360° storage, sweat wicking material and a snug fit to avoid the contents bouncing. The all-in-one design pulls on like a pair of trousers, with no buckles or straps to cause chafing. It even looks like a wide, brightly coloured waistband, so she'll have no fear of looking like she's channelling awkward tourist chic in a bum bag.
Comes in carbon, jet black, neon green, neon punch, nuclear yellow, royal blue and violet.

SSH through IPv6 times out
I first noticed the problem that whenever I would try to ssh into my droplet using the domain name, it would take about two minutes. When I used ssh -vvv, I found that it was the IPv6 causing the problem-- It would time out when trying the IPv6 address, then fall to the IPv4 and work fine--
debug1: Connecting to example.com [****:****:***:**::****:8001] port 22.
debug1: connect to address ****:****:***:**::****:**** port 22: Connection timed out
debug1: Connecting to example.com [***.***.**.240] port 22.
debug1: Connection established.
(I generalized the message. It's not exactly a secret site, though.)
And when I try to connect using only the IPv6 address instead of the domain, it fails. (Works fine with IPv4 address.)
I went through the DO SSH troubleshooting article, but it didn't make any difference. Where can I go to try to troubleshoot this?
(If it's relevant, I'm using nginx on this server. I have another server that uses nginx, but it doesn't have this problem.)

Birdman apologize to Lil Wayne for finessing him out 51 Million Dollars/ Artist Sounds
Lil Wayne finally released his long awaited album Carter 5 and for the most part there has been a lot of hype surrounding the project despite the fact that it was set to release around the same time as Kanye West's album.
A few days ago at the Weezy Fest - Birdman apologized publicly to Lil Wayne for holding up the music and finessing him out 51 million dollars. Lil Wayne accepted the apology.
Lil Wayne surprisingly dropped the 'Dedication 6' mixtape hosted by DJ Drama this past Christmas holiday. This is the first time the two 'Lil Wayne and DJ Drama', have teamed up on a mixtape since Dedication 2.
Birdman goes off on all the people saying he needs to pay Lil Wayne. He calls all of the haters P*ssy.
Rick Ross tells Birdman to take out a loan and pay Lil Wayne what is owed to him. How much does Lil Wayne have to sell for you to pay up.


text: This is a hallway from a building I used to live in. It was pretty much this creepy all the time. It didn't help that the place was so busted you had to break into the basement if you blew a fuse (yes, a fuse, not a break) since the sketchy-ass landlord kept all that stuff locked up and more or less refused to come out if he wasn't really close.

Bali: Part 3 - Ubud
With very little time to spare, we checked out of our hotel in Benoa and met up with our new friend Buddy - He had been driving us around for the duration of the week and wanted to take us up to Ubud. Along the way we made a few stops at the silver manufacturing factory, a fabric manufacturer, a coffee plantation - where we tasted Luwak coffee (A civet eats a single coffee cherry and once it has a bowel movement, the bean is picked out and ground). For real.
We then went on to the rice fields which were amazing - before checking in to our hotel - Casa Luna Honeymoon Guest House.
That evening we witnessed a traditional chinese tea ceremony (part of Laura and Stacy's wedding) - The next day was the reason we'd gone to Bali in the first place... The Wedding :)
The wedding took place on the most amazing hill, with breath taking views - It was great to be a guest and a part of such a special day in such an exotic location.
We ended off our time in Ubud taking in some more of its spectacular views.

Integrated Risk Management: Preventing Risks and Solving Risk Problems
2016-08-23 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm EDT
[button link="http://www2.riskonnect.com/GRC2020″]Register[/button]
[tabs style="default"] [tab title="Summary"]
Risk and risk management is pervasive throughout organizations. There are many departments that manage risk, each with their unique understanding, models, and views into risk. This makes enterprise and operational risk management a challenge. Organizations fail in enterprise risk management strategies when they force everyone into one flat view of risk, they also fail when they allow different views of risk but do not do risk normalization and aggregation as they roll-up risk into enterprise reporting. This webinar details how organizations need to take an integrated approach to risk management that allows different departments their view of department level risk management but also enable a common integrated architecture to support overall enterprise risk management activities and reporting.
Specific points covered in this webinar include:
- Where and how enterprise risk management fails
- How to build an enterprise risk register and show interrelationships of risk
- The value of an integrated risk management architecture
- Approaches to risk normalization and aggregation for accurate enterprise risk reporting

Minister of Education will "aggressively pursue" schools
It is arguably the most definitive stance David Eggen has taken so far on the issue of enforcing sexual orientation and gender identity policies.
According to the opening paragraphs of one CBC article:
Education Minister David Eggen says he will "aggressively pursue" schools that refuse to comply with new guidelines to protect LGBTQ students. "The urgency that's attached to this circumstance, I recognize very clearly," Eggen said Thursday. "So, certainly I will be moving on it very quickly, and you'll see.
However, the Minister of Education will definitely have to clarify these statements, as he is now clearly contradicting his earlier assurances to Albertans in March that the Guidelines were "not legally binding"
The debate about funding has certainly escalated in the public sphere, with a lot of media coverage making it a front and centre issue.
It seems the greatest threat currently looming on the horizon is the removal of taxpayer funding for "non-compliant" schools, as well as potential court battles and the possibility of more legislation to impose government directives.
Based on the media reports, those advocating for defunding educational choice use two main arguments:
1. Funding educational choice costs taxpayers more money.
Actually, the opposite is true. According to one comprehensive report, independent schools helped save Albertan taxpayers $750 million dollars.
Not only that, but as stated in the petition, taxpayers are the ones who provide "public" money. That means the diversity of educational choices, funded either fully or partially through public dollars, should reflect the diversity of Albertans who provide that funding.
To suggest that only some educational choices are "valid" to receive public taxpayer funding demonstrates a shockingly discriminatory premise of inequality which declares that the needs and values of some people are worthy of inclusion in our publicly funded education system – and others are not.
This premise undermines and fundamentally corrupts the functioning of a pluralistic, multicultural and free, democratic society.
And that is not progress.
2. Funding should be removed because schools are not keeping students safe
In an Edmonton Journal article, Pastor Brian Coldwell responded to allegations that his two independent Christian schools are unsafe:
"The schools have a 'zero-tolerance anti-bullying policy' from a distinctly Christian perspective, Coldwell said. Any suggestion children are unsafe in the schools is untrue and defamatory, he said".
Donna Trimble, Executive Director for Parents for Choice in Education, highlighted the same "incorrect and dangerous correlation" in the Calgary Sun:
"Parents, teachers, schools and communities can care compassionately for at-risk youth without agreeing that the policies being enforced by government are beneficial"
…Correlating compassion and care with acceptance of particular policies will always lead to the shutting down of debate, which is the keystone of every democratic nation."
In response to the news of Pastor Coldwell's schools, one woman's personal experience was widely circulated on social media, entitled "Why One Alberta Mom Thinks Funding Private Christian Schools Isn't Just Wrong…It's Dangerous".
Obviously this woman's experience is devastating and my heart breaks when I hear of anyone suffering for any reason.
However, is it reasonable to take the experience of one person and generalize that experience to justify removing educational choice from countless other families in a different context?
What if I apply that reasoning to a similar personal experience?
I know a close friend who was bullied so relentlessly in public school that she was driven to self-harm and suicide attempts. Thankfully my friend's parent removed her daughter from that school and they had a much more positive experience with home education. That decision may have been responsible for saving my friend's life.
However, on the basis of my friend's personal experience, would it be reasonable to claim public schools are dangerous for everyone and then justify removal of funding from all public schools to home education instead?
I think not.
In fact, the wonderful strength of freedom of choice is that if one setting does not serve the particular needs and values of a child or a family then they have the opportunity to make a different choice.
Using taxpayer funds to impose a "one size fits all" system does not effectively address the diversity of Albertans, nor does it demonstrate the principle of "inclusion" that the the government seems to laud so highly otherwise.
And that is why a disturbing precedent will be set if the government finds justification to remove funding from Pastor Brian Coldwell's school in this situation.
Please continue to encourage as many people as possible to sign the online petition, and also consider contacting your MLA and phoning the Minister of Education's office directly (780 427 5010) in order to voice your support for authentic educational choice.

Posted: July 4, 2012
Male sex toy manufacturer, Fleshlight, have recently announced the addition of the Kelly Shibari Fleshlight to their Fleshlight Girls range. The newest addition, made directly from a mould of the porn star and fetish performer's vulva, is the first BBW product in the range.
"Fleshlight has always prided itself on offering its customers a variety of products," said Fleshlight CEO Steve Shubin. "With the BBW market's growing presence on the Internet, partnering with Kelly Shibari to offer her Fleshlight product was a no-brainer for us."
Shibari's Fleshlight features the Lotus texture, designed to realistically recreate the sensation of intercourse with a smooth, ultra-tight entry that opens to a slightly wider and more comfortable canal.
Shibari, nominated for several awards as a BBW performer, has featured in Neue Deutsche Härte band Rammstein's Mein Land music video, been the centrefold of AVN Magazine and runs Social Media Marketing company, ThePRSMGroup, as well as hosting a fan-only blowbang/bukkake event last year.
"I have always been enamored with the Fleshlight, and even more so with the beautiful performers that the company has chosen to represent their brand," said Shibari. "To be selected to work with this immensely popular company, with a proven track record of high-quality products and an extremely loyal fan base, is both an honor and an affirmation of the work I've put into my own brand over the years. I can't wait for my fans, and fans of curvier women in general, to enjoy me in this most intimate of ways. I am extremely proud to call myself a Fleshlight Girl."

Although titled 'The coming week', this could easily have been titled 'The coming month'. In many ways I feel to be at the highest point of a freewheeling roller-coaster today with a few twists and turns to go before slowing down and getting off at Christmas.
On Saturday next I'm flying to Latvia where I've been asked to deliver a workshop on Gadgets and Gizmos (wouldn't it be nice to say that I'd been asked to deliver a keynote?) at a conference the following Tuesday [venue]. This all came about following my work with the MALT programme in spring. So, not knowing what internet will be like, or what phone connection will be like (or cost) – it will be (shall we say?) interesting. Prior to my departure I have three days on the road as part of an advisory role for the Regional Support Centre: Yorkshire and Humberside [link]. This role sees me helping Pathfinder projects to choose and submit a bid for specialist ILT equipment.
I also have to contact and welcome 20 (one third of the total) Advanced PDA/e-Guides, with whom I will work (cajole, advise, encourage, support etc.) until March 2010. Their first day's training will take place very early in November – so they haven't got too long to sort out their pre-meeting tasks. I'm working with Nigel Davies and Sally Betts on this programme and am really looking forward to it, as I can see it making a real change to the way ILT is viewed and implemented across institutions and organisations.
Once I'm back from Latvia, Sharon and I have bookings at Gloucestershire College, delivering workshops for James Clay. Mine will be on the pedagogy of mobile and web 2.0 learning and Sharon's will be on the personalisation of learning. My workshops is pretty much planned, so it will just need topping off while I'm in Latvia. Then, the following week it's back onto the RSC-YH work, the Advanced PDA/e-Guide work and hopefully by then – some MoLeNET 3 mentoring work.
So, you might see that the roller-coaster analogy is not too far off the mark – it's a real rush to the end of the month; at which point I find myself in a similar position for November and early December.
Which is good because I still feel that I have a lot to offer the sector.
My blogging from Latvia may be via Posterous – depending on connectivity.

A Letter From The Editor
I have always enjoyed this time of year. I'm not sure what it is about the holiday season. Maybe it's the change in weather, the festive decorations, or anticipation of the inevitable indulgence in retail therapy and gift-giving.

Plan Sponsors: Are You a Dinosaur or a Lizard? The retirement industry is no longer a dinosaur. It's evolving to become more like a lizard. Let me explain what I mean by that. The reptilian metaphor seemed apropos, in the sense that dinosaurs are notoriously slow-moving, whereas lizards tend to be quick, lithe and nimble. And lizard-like is how we must view our approach to many things in this industry today because they are changing at a fairly rapid pace. Regulations, plan design, participant communications — it's all continually evolving, and we hope, changing for the better. And we have to be flexible and move fast if we want to keep up.
One area for plan sponsors to keep a close eye on is the increased use of technology in participant communications. Truth be told, printed materials may have a place in your participant communications arsenal, but here's the rub — your employee population is increasingly living online. Walk down the street. Ride a bus. Spring through an airport. Check out the tables in restaurants. Everywhere you look, people are immersed in their smartphones. In the 1980s, Madonna sang "we are living in a material world." Today, she might sing "we are living in a digital world."
Content is king — online content, that is. So if you're not meeting your employee population — even the older ones — where they are (in the digital arena), you're missing an important opportunity to connect with them and engage them in your organization's retirement plan.
There's concrete data that bears this out. Callan recently released its 2018 Defined Contribution Trends Survey. Can you guess the top two media channels used by plan sponsors who responded to the Callan survey? If you said email (93%) and their recordkeeper's website (93%), you're correct. Astonishingly, the postal mail came in third (81.7%). (Huh, perhaps snail mail isn't a dying breed after all.) Callan also found that 63.5% of employers use their company intranet for plan communications. Three out of four of these are, obviously, digital.
Clearly, participant communications are increasingly moving to digital platforms, which makes sense in a world where most of us stare at some sort of a screen all day, every day. The jury is still out, however, on whether or not social media platforms, mobile apps, and text messaging are effective forms of participant communication. They're being utilized, but sparingly compared to email and web-based tools. And most of what we have read concludes that it's still too early to tell if social media works to reach employees with benefits-oriented messaging. In a sense, social media may be perceived as more of a "leisure time" platform, rather than a place to have a meaningful conversation about retirement plan or other workplace benefits. Said another way, social media is where people go to "decompress" outside of work, so they may see work-related messaging as an "intrusion" on their downtime.
Nonetheless, I think social media's day as an effective participant communication tool may yet come. I say this because we spend an inordinate amount of time "hanging out" on social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. Repetition is a key part of driving home a message. So if we somehow combine employees' social media habits with the right cadence of repetition when it comes to communicating about their retirement plan —without appearing annoying or intrusive — we just might have an opportunity to cut through the noise and make an impact. Perhaps the secret to effective retirement plan communications is to treat it like a marketing campaign and keep pounding that drum over and over (in a fun and engaging way) until it is heard.
According to the Financial Brand, messages are more effective when repeated — an average of between six and 20 times. Here are some commonly used slogans that have been repeated for years, so much so, that the brand association is almost automatic: "Just do it." Nike began using this slogan in 1988 – it's now a rebel yell for anyone who wants to get off their tush and smash a goal. "What happens here, stays here." That famous saying about the Sin City of Las Vegas has been used since 2004. "15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance" is inextricably linked to Geico and its famous green gecko. The point is, these messages have stood the test of time, and now they're a permanent part of our every day vernacular.
It works for marketers and advertisers – why couldn't it work in the retirement plan realm, too? Just thinking out loud here.
In any case, if you're not using digital platforms and online content to communicate with your employee population, or if you could be using it more, why not "just do it"? We've written a lot about the effectiveness of video in delivering benefits communications, engaging employees, and getting them excited about their benefits, so that's one key option to consider.
According to a report from Broadridge Financial Solutions, released last year, here's another idea: many plan sponsors are moving to cloud-based technologies that allow them to deliver customized communications using an "omnichannel" approach, including digital, mobile and print. Broadridge's research found that retirement plan participation can be increased by 30% by effectively delivering personalized communications through multiple channels and that an omnichannel approach can save plan sponsors between 10%-20% in annual communication costs.
That bears repeating: An omnichannel approach to plan communications can increase plan participation and save you money. Need we say more?
So, are you a dinosaur or a lizard? The retirement plan world is moving digital, and it's moving fast. It's time to plug in.

Organize Scholarship Support From a Labor Union
More than 14.5 million American workers are in a union and have access to money for college and job training.
By Matt Konrad
The coming Labor Day weekend signals the unofficial end of summer and the start of the school year for most students. It's also a time to celebrate American labor and a perfect opportunity to explore scholarships available through the nation's labor unions.
With 14.5 million current members, the nation's unions cover a wide variety of workers, including more than 35 percent of public-sector employees. If you or one of your parents are among that group, the union can be an excellent place to find extra money for job training, certification or a college degree.
No matter which union you or your parents belong to, the Union Plus Scholarship Program should be the first stop for any scholarship seeker. Since 1992, Union Plus has awarded more than $3.6 million in scholarships to union members, retirees and their dependents.
Since Union Plus is a collaborative program started by the AFL-CIO, the application is open to students associated with a wide variety of unions. Scholarships range from $500 to $4,000 and while they're not renewable, you can reapply each year you're in school.
Union Plus Scholarships are open for application now through Jan. 31, 2015. While you're there, check out the organization's other resources, which include test-prep and textbook discounts, "Debt Eraser" grants and educational webinars.
Most nationwide unions sponsor scholarship competitions for members and their dependents, and these national contests can pay off in a big way.
If you have a parent who belongs to one of the two national postal workers' unions, you're in luck. The American Postal Workers Union offers high school seniors a four-year renewable scholarship worth $2,000 each year for college tuition. If you're more interested in a vocational or technical education, you can apply for a $3,000 one-time award.
The National Association of Letter Carriers, a union of city-based mail carriers, offers five different options, including the $4,000 renewable William C. Doherty Scholarship.
Members and dependents of the Service Employees International Union and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, the two largest public services unions in the nation, also have a wide variety of scholarships to apply for. SEIU, which also covers health care and property-services workers, awards more than 50 annual scholarships via lottery, as well as competitive scholarships for those studying labor, the arts and social change. AFSCME provides college scholarship funding, along with internships and awards for short-term courses of study.
The national scholarships for union members and dependents don't end there, either. Whether your parent is a teacher or a Teamster, there are nationwide competitions out there for you.
Of course, unions do much of their work on the local and regional levels, and their scholarship programs are no different. The United Auto Workers award a number of scholarships through the national union, through locals and through regional confederations.
One of the most lucrative is the $10,000 Richard T. Gosser Scholarship, offered to students in Ohio and Indiana by UAW Region 2B. High school seniors who plan to start college in the fall of 2015 can apply through Oct. 15.
On the city and community level, it pays to check every year with your or your parents' local union. Just about every local offers scholarships, whether your parent is an electrician in Minneapolis, a camera operator in Hollywood or a grocery store employee in Washington.
Finally, some union-sponsored scholarships don't even require union membership. The ILA Local 1408 Scholarship Fund was started in 1995 to benefit families of Jacksonville, Florida's International Longshoreman Association. Since then, as college costs have continued to rise, the program has expanded, and now all high school seniors and returning college students in Jacksonville and four surrounding counties are invited to apply.

Happy Friday, all! Well, I did miss posting here yesterday...too much to do!
This is one of the first stamps I ever bought, probably 12 years ago. Found it in the bottom of one of my stamp drawers. I stamped the image with Versafine Honey ink and embossed it with clear embossing powder. It is colored with the new SakuraGlitter Meteor and Galaxy pens. LOVE the glittery shine of these pens! The cardstocks are Coordinations Shimmer in purple and teal. Not much more I can say about it.....til the next tine!

My most important responsibility is to love my family and provide them emergency backup and help as needed.
If families do not have time to be present to deal with health and emotional issues, the family will break down. Stressed employees do not make good workers, so both employers and employees suffer when employees are at work while they are thinking of family members who need them
We need paid family leave because the family is the basic socializing unit in our communities, and if not supported, our communities break down.

Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, or so they say. I personally believe this to be true because we could be dealt with the hardest of cards that breaks us down depending on how we look at it, on how we choose to deal with it.
It's very difficult to change the perception of people around you but what matters is that you change your perception of yourself first before turning to others. Building a mindset the strengthens resiliency and strives to have better mental health isn't achieved in a day, it's a habit and routine that you constantly work to develop over time to work for you.
Short term goals for long-term success.
What you work hard to do today you'll reap the benefit of it in the future. You've probably heard and experienced that the hardest part of any task is to start, gathering all your courage and energy to begin chasing after a goal is difficult- and that's precisely why we need to do it.
Dithering is contagious; it's the seed that builds up procrastination and eventually leads to doubt. We need to be disciplined and driven to do the task at had no matter how hauntingly scary it might be, motivation is doing something with love and respect otherwise don't bother doing it at all. Be committed before you start and be driven to deliver your best because choosing to start is the beginning of success!
Make mistakes and plunge on.
We're only humans, after all, mistakes don't mean failure they mean that we're working to get better. You can't succeed and move forward without tripping on the way, don't hold yourself to unattainable and unrealistic standards.
Know that what you can't change, you have to accept. Nobody is perfect and expecting people to be is a foolish act committed by someone who doesn't understand that you could be disciplined for behavior but not as a person.
According to Albert Einstein, every difficulty that we face gives us the opportunity that we could never have had walking on eggshells.
Understanding what you want.
Having a lack of direction is frustrating and it is brutal to deal with, everybody has been there at some point in their lives. We have to be lost in order to appreciate what we have and understand what we really have a passion to do.
If you're going to do something it might as well be something you like doing, Sarah Bulgard says "That living with uncertainty is extremely damaging to your health." I believe that we all have been stuck in certain circumstances that we felt like robots rather than people, we don't have to live that way nor should we.
Don't ever let someone tell you can't, that's a lie and a faulty assumption that no one has the right to make.
Don't be a slave of possessions.
Material things don't make a person any better, hoarding them and being addicted to having the newest things is unhealthy. The more things that you own, the more things you let own you – a wise quote from Mark Sanborn.
It's never a good idea to jump on the bandwagon that has an expiration date, it will eventually go bad and out of trend and the cycle of harmful buying behavior will start again.
Learn to be content with what you have and your health not just your wallet will be grateful. The most successful people don't decorate themselves with unnecessary fads of possessions because they know that it's not practical nor does it make a difference- will having the latest phone make you a better person?
Community and not competition.
There's healthy competition and more often than not is the competition that harbors negativity and causes stressful frustrations. If you're with a group of people that strives to achieve the same goal then what you need to do is not be a competitor but a good team player.
Competition brings out the worst and best in people, it's a double-edged sword that's different for everyone. Don't let envy or anger rear their ugly heads instead choose to exercise good will and be true your nature.
You can get to the top without stepping on people on the way, it should always be that way to achieve success without a guilty conscience.

Turkey Scouting Tips and Tricks
If there's one thing a hunter can do beforehand that dictates how a hunt might play out, it's the amount of time they put into scouting. Whether it's deer, turkeys, ducks, or elk, scouting is paramount to achieving success on a regular and repetitive basis. The key words there being regular and repetitive. Some hunters will get lucky from time to time, but the best hunters, those who find success year in and year out, spend far more time scouting than hunting. Scouting works because animals have patternable behaviors by nature. Patterns like where they prefer to sleep, where they feed, and where they travel are all behaviors hunters can hone in on. Of all the game animals, wild turkeys might just be the most patternable, which is a good thing for turkey hunters. Here are a few turkey scouting tips for before and during the season.
Timing Is Everything
Like most information, the more recent the better. Scouting for spring turkey hangouts in winter isn't likely to yield the best results. As turkey seasons start to open around the country, turkeys are shifting their patterns weekly, if not on a daily basis as mating season ramps up. From winter flocks to lone gobblers, turkeys change patterns rapidly during the early parts of spring. Knowing where and what the turkeys are doing by the time season rolls around is critical for your success as a hunter. The best time to be scouting is the week/days leading up to a hunt. Even once the season opens, you should never stop scouting while you're hunting.
Using Trail Cameras to Find Strut Zones
Once the roost site(s) have been determined, the next key component of turkey scouting is to find the popular strutting zones. There's no better tool for this than a trail camera. For whatever reason most deer hunters have their trail cameras stacked up on the basement shelf doing nothing but collecting dust during the spring months. But why? Most hunters already have the camera, so why not use them for turkey hunting?
It sounds crazy, but trail cameras might be more helpful to turkey hunters than deer hunters. With the features of modern trail cameras, specifically time-lapse mode, turkey scouting has never been easier. The main areas you'll want to target and scout with a little help from your trail cameras are potential strut zones. Often, these strut zones are open, sunny areas like cut crop fields, food plots, open pasture, and logging roads. Knowing exactly what time of day and which corner of a field the turkeys prefer is extremely useful information.
This is where the setup of trail cameras plays a significant roll – both in terms of camera settings and the placement. First, the placement. You'll want to place trail cameras in a manner such that the picture will cover a large portion of the field or area you want to scout. Often, this requires mounting the camera fairly high up in a tree, especially if it's a rolling field. Remember, the goal for this setup is not to get close up photos triggered by strutters as they walk by, but rather to distinguish where and when they're strutting in the field. Taking a tree step or ladder of some sort can help you get trail cameras higher up in a tree so you can get a full view of the field if there's rolling hills. Plus, putting them up high is also a smart move for anyone scouting public land, as a means to prevent theft.
Before hanging the camera, turn on the time-lapse mode and adjust the settings appropriately. One picture every 5-10 minutes throughout the daylight hours should do the trick. As was mentioned before, using trail cameras for turkeys is a great way to scout before and during season. When it comes time to checking the SD Card, just flip through the photos until you see a flock of turkeys in the background. Compare photos to ones from other days to determine if there's a distinct pattern on where they enter from, how long they are there, and during what time of day. The best thing about using trail cameras for turkey scouting is that you don't need to get a clear and close-up picture of a big tom to know he's a shooter. A simple strutter in the background is usually enough information to know if you should be hunting there.
Windshield Scouting
Scouting from your truck or car is as easy as driving back and forth from work. It's an overlooked method for sure, but there's plenty of information you can gather during your daily commute. Local information is the best information, in other words, the turkeys down the street are probably behaving in a similar fashion on the property your hunting (if you hunt relatively close). Are the toms henned up? Strutting all alone? With other toms? All are observations that will dictate what decoys are best and what calls you should be using. Of course, if you have fields you can hunt that can be viewed from the road, you should be driving by those just before the season starts to see what's going on.
Bring it All Together on a Map
Maps are the gameboard of all things hunting and scouting. They're by far the most important tool a hunter can use to prepare for a successful outing. However, a map is only as good as the info it displays, which is why you should spend time marking up a map of your property this spring. Scribbling key details such as strut zones, roost sites, obstacles, feeding areas, etc. will paint a much clearer picture compared to a blank Google Earth aerial photo, and thus, allow for a much better game plan.
As you can see, scouting should never end. Whether you're a seasoned turkey hunter or just getting your first taste, scouting teaches you an incredible amount about the animal you're pursuing and how you should be hunting them. In the end, it's important to remember scouting is the most important aspect to any hunt, aside from luck of course.
