This year, Mike and I committed to doing another Great Canadian Birdathon. Some of you may better remember it as being called the "Baillie Birdathon". This is the oldest sponsored bird count in North America, established back in 1976 as a national fundraiser that has continued to this day!
Funds that have been raised for this event benefit a wide variety of organizations that participate in avian research and conservation across Canada including: Bird Studies Canada, nature clubs, bird observatories, and the Baillie Memorial fund - a research grant providing young researchers with money towards their avian research.
This year, we joined the team "The Raven Lunatics"! This was a team that had originally begun in Manitoba, but this year has tried to go Canada-wide. Both of us were excited to not only be on a team with a bunch of fantastic people (all of whom I met on Twitter), but to represent the province of Ontario on the team!
Our Day:
Mike and I started off the morning in the backyard of our current rental unit in Carling, Ontario. We heard a number of our more familiar backyard birds, along with two pairs of Rose-breasted Grosbeaks who were new that week to our backyard and enjoying the bird feeders (which...we had left up WAY too late in the season).
We then made our way towards Simms Lake for some warblers and woodpeckers! This area has a wide assortment of trails that are used by locals and fun fact: this is the property where the famous Avro Arrow was built!
|Me looking over Simms Lake
We then began our drive down Nobel Road towards Parry Sound where we were hoping (but failed) to catch some Chimney Swifts. We did manage to capture both Barn and Tree swallow!
The Waterfront Trail in Parry Sound gave us three new species (Cormorant - Rock Pigeon), but seemed to provide more views than species! Unfortunately, this is the location where I came across my first (of what felt like a bajillion) black flies this spring.
We then drove our way towards Mactier, Ontario. Here we decided that, while we were birding, to try and test out at least part of my Breeding Bird Survey route that was to come. We got through stop 1-16, before needing to head out to the local dump to hopeful catch some gulls, hawks, and Bald Eagle (Tip: Make sure you know what time the dump closes....or else you stand foolishly at the gates like I did this day...).
|One of the locations along my BBS Route
One of the funniest parts of the day was, quite honestly, watching Mike. Being a reptile guy, he was really great at spotting birds and took a lot of pride in being the "first one" to see it! During a few point throughout the day Mike would excitedly exclaim "THERE'S SOMETHING!!!! I DID IT! I FOUND ONE!" And sure enough it would be a chicken in the forest (no...not a grouse. Literally a domestic chicken in the forest) or a domestic goose in a wetland. His frustration would just lead me into a fit of giggles - that's what your significant other is for isn't it?
After a fairly quiet afternoon of birding (and mostly hearing frogs) we went back to the Carling area to check out some local hotspots, including a field and a few wetlands. We were pretty surprised to see some Eastern Bluebirds and American Wigeon here. Unfortunately we dipped on Bobolink and Eastern Meadowlark.
|Brown Thrasher in the bushes
Further down the street we hit one of our favourite spots to bird, the Provincially Significant Wetland out behind Killbear Park Mall. The last few years we have received permission to hike and bird behind the property and it didn't disappoint! We picked up Pied-billed Grebe, Great Blue Heron, and also a very vocal American Bittern, who was not camera shy! Sorry for the camera shakes, it was super zoomed in and there were buttloads of blackflies all over me!
We ended our day at a friend's property to pick up a few of the more nocturnal species! The past few days they had heard a Whip-poor-will for a few minutes per night, so we made sure that we got to their house promptly to hear it. We picked up (by hear) Sandhill Cranes, Woodcock, and Barred Owl, however the Whip-poor-will made no call for us. However apparently they could hear it back at the house!! So we much have just missed it.
We ended the day with a total of 65 species and a really awesome day full of birds! After a busy winter and spring, it was nice to finally put aside the day to enjoy nature.

The Importance of Outdoor Play - Part 1
Discussing the importance of outdoor play for children's early social, psychological and physical development. Also covering the tendency for parents today to not use critical judgement and turning a blind eye to intuition. Parents are out of tune with their natural instincts. Media hype is creating irrational paranoia in parents. Children's happiness in play should be the focus instead of academic achievement or potential future careers. Children learn best from experience and therefore the outdoors is the best science lesson. Parents need to allow children the opportunity to discover their own passions and they can do that by providing plenty of opportunity for free unstructured outdoor play.

What does your hair say about you?
Our hairstyle will hopefully evolve as we age. Some people don't change their hairstyle much in their whole life. They have the same hair and never chose to change it. But these days the younger generation loves it.
Katie Curic – This hairstyle is very versatile and looks good on her. It's short but had a side swept fringe. The color is good on her skin. This is a good low maintenance hairstyle and has some body. This haircut is ideal for fine to medium hair types.
Her is one of my all time favorite hairstyles Short Pixie Sharon Stone pulls this one off well. There are a lot of celebrities chopping their locks lately. I love this because it's effortless and easy to wear. Ideal face shape is oval and her eyes are blue which accentuates her color. This haircut should be trimmed every 3-6 weeks.
Eva Longoria is famous for her long tresses. She had such a beautiful hair it's medium to thick type hair. Her speck of golden hilights is perfect for her olive skin. Long hair is the epic Hollywood Glamour. The staple of actresses and super models. Chocolate brown color is rich and my favorite color for fall.
Try a different haircut or color be bold or soft . Ask your stylist what they think….till next time

Soy - Part Four: GMOs & Soy Production
If you've been following along on this "Truth About Soy" Series, then you know I've already touched on some of the issues with soy beans. Specifically, the anti-nutrient properties of soy like goitrogens, phyto-estrogens, and enzyme inhibitors. Whereas my previous posts focused on the fundamental issues with the plant itself, this post points to the problems associated with the production of modern soy products.
The way we grow and process soy beans is a huge concern!
GMOs: Genetically Modified Organisms... An issue all on its own.
Oh GMOs.
Thanks to all the media exposure regarding GMOs and labeling laws, most people have at least a basic understanding of the term. But unfortunately, there's still not a lot of clarity about what GMOs are and why they may be negatively impacting our health.
The topic of GMOs could really be a post (maybe even a series) all its own, but I will be keeping it brief here.
Genetically Modified Soy
More than 90% of soy produced worldwide is genetically modified--but it is rarely labeled.
What's the issue? Let me briefly answer a few questions that we should have as consumers...
Why is genetically modifying different than other breeding methods, like hybridization?
Modern hybridization is the specific, controlled, cross-pollination between two compatible varieties of parent plants. This process can occur naturally, but breeders are able to control this process to ensure the desired outcome in a much shorter time-span. The process is still conducted in fields, using low-tech methods. Think of it as guided, natural reproduction.
On the other hand, genetically modifying is a high-tech process done in labs. It involves gene-splicing and changing the DNA of a plant. What is most unnatural, is that the genes being combined aren't necessarily even the same species. Genes from bacteria or even animals can be injected into the DNA of a plant. They become organisms that would not occur in nature.
Are GM foods tested for safety?
"There have been no human safety tests on these foods and no investigations or monitoring of their effect on people in the community who have eaten them. Some GM foods haven't even been tested on animals. Most of the animal tests assess only the new proteins engineered to appear in the plant, not the whole food, and for only a few days' exposure. Full animal autopsies are rarely done. Almost all of the tests have been done by those with vested interests. There have been almost no independent safety tests." [emphasis mine]
And yet, the USDA has approved the use of GM foods.
"So far, only commodity crops with GM traits — such as corn, soy, alfalfa and sugar beets — have been approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for use, primarily in processed foods and animal feeds. The exception is GM sweet corn, which is now available at your grocery store." [emphasis mine]
So despite lack of testing, we are still consuming GMOs through processed foods, meat, and corn.
It is now known that DNA and proteins can go through our bodies without being fully digested--this is the cause of food allergies. There is also evidence to show that DNA can migrate into our white blood cells and organs.
There are studies emerging that show that this is true for GM soy too, like scientists at the Universities of Urbino, Perugia and Pavia in Italy who found that GM soy affects the cells in the pancreas, liver and testes of young mice.
This is scary to think about, since the "frankensteined" DNA of GM foods could cause a host of unknown issues in our body if they enter our own organs.
What happens if we find out it's not safe?
Umm... nothing? What I mean is that we can't just "recall" GM crops. It's not a car seat or even a food product that we can just recall and fix the issue. It's an entire system of agriculture! Furthermore, GM crops can (and often do) contaminate nearby, organic crops and also causes soil to become contaminated. It has a pervasive and continuing impact.
Is it a risk we're willing to take?
The best way to avoid GMOs is to eat only organic foods (GM ingredients are not allowed in organic foods) and avoid products containing corn, soy, canola oil and refined sugar as they are the main GM foods in production.
The Modern Production Process
When you understand how soy (specifically, soy protein isolate - SPI) is processed, it's difficult to still see it as a "health food."
"The production of SPI involves a slurry of soybeans mixed with an alkaline solution to remove fibre, then precipitated and separated using an acid wash in aluminum tanks (leaching high levels of aluminum into the final product,) neutralized in an alkaline solution, and then spray-dried at high temperatures...The high temperature of processing has the side effect of denaturing the other proteins in soy to render them largely ineffective, and makes the addition of lysine important to soy feed for normal growth in animals. The spray drying causes nitrites (potent carcinogens) to form, and a toxin called lysinoalanine is also formed during the alkaline processing..."[emphasis mine]
The end product is a mostly tasteless powder that can be added to virtually any food, and it is. According to Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, up to 60% of processed foods contain this powder.
- Because of the high temperature at which the soy is processed, the proteins are denatured to the point that the protein becomes minimally available.
- Processing of soy protein results in the formation of lysinoalanine (toxic) and nitrosamines (carcinogenic).
- Aluminum, which leaches into the soy from the tanks, has been linked to dementia and Alzheimer's disease. It is also toxic to the nervous system and the kidneys.
- Free glutamic acid or MSG, a dangerous neurotoxin, is formed during soy food processing and additional amounts are often added to many soy products to disguise the soy bean's bitter taste. MSG is rarely labeled.
This is the last part of the series discussing the negative health impacts of soy on the general population. Next week, I'll be going into how soy products could be harming our children.

Lindsay Lohan replicates iconic love boat photo of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton affair as filming begins on biopic
02:34 GMT, 5 June 2012
Lindsay Lohan was embroiled in a scandalous scene today – but for once it was not one of the actress's own making.
Instead Lindsay – on location for the first day filming the biopic Liz & Dick – appeared to be recreating the famous paparazzi snap of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton caught in the throes of passion while both were still married.
Lindsay – clad in a leopard print swimsuit – was joined by her co-star Grant Bowler, who plays her on-screen lover and husband Burton.
Familiar scene: Lindsay Lohan slipped into a swimsuit for her first day
on set of Liz & Dick in Los Angeles today, seen with True Blood's
Grant Bowler, who plays Richard Burton
The real deal: Liz and Richard seen in an iconic photograph from June 1962 when they were snapped by paparazzi on a boat off the coast of Ischia in the Bay of Naples
Of course the Liz and Dick affair was quite the Hollywood scandal.
The pair began a romance while filming
Cleopatra in 1962 – Liz was still married to Eddie Fisher at the time
while Burton was wed to Sybil Williams.
In what appeared to be an echo of a
snap taken of Liz and Richards leaning in for a kiss aboard a yacht in
the Bay of Naples, Lindsay was seen getting cosy with her co-star as
they filmed scenes together.
Getting into position: The pair also shot against a white screen as well as on a yacht
Double take: The star borrowed the screen icon's look from 1955
Ready for her close-up: The star prowled around while crew got to work
Lights, camera, action: Lindsay surrounded by the film crew on the boat
Lohan was quite the bathing beauty as she slipped into leopard-print swimsuit.
The actress, 25, paraded around in
the striking number, similar to one worn by Elizabeth Taylor in 1955,
while shooting on a luxury yacht in Los Angeles.
She looked relaxed and at ease on her first official day on the job, peeling back a bathrobe to reveal the vintage costume.
While she has dyed her hair dark, Lindsay will don a series of wig for the role – her first leading lady part since the rather
abysmal 2009 flop Labor Pains.
Making a dash for it: The actress sprung into motion, teaming her look with jewellery and sandals
Taylor made: Lohan slipped stares into the distance in her figure-hugging swimsuit
Hollywood love story: The actress looked like a double of Taylor as she got into character
Lohan's spokesperson Steve Honig talked up the actress's take on Taylor, telling the New York Daily News: 'I was standing there last week for publicity shots and prep when
Lindsay and Grant walked on set for the first time in full makeup and
costume, and it took everyone's breath away.
'It was like being on set with Elizabeth Taylor and
Richard Burton. It was really a moment.'
With a week of rehearsals under her
belt, Liz & Dick's executive producer Larry Thompson
told Perez Hilton that Lindsay is 'more than ready' to start
Their last rehearsal was Friday, and
according to Thompson the actress went from 'unfocused' to being 'so
excited and into it' now that that film is actually up and running.
Relaxed: The 25-year-old, known for her wild behavior, looked at ease on set
Big reveal: The star slipped off her black robe, unveiling her costume
'Focused': Lindsay's bosses say she's fully committed to the role
'This is really happening,' he added,'This isn't like making an appearance on Glee
or spending a week on SNL. She is number one on the call sheet. She is
the star.'
The biopic charts the passionate romance between the National Velvet legend and actor Richard Burton, who she married twice.
Their relationship was considered
somewhat of a scandal in the Sixties, with both parties already married
as they embarked on their affair.
Lunch break: Lindsay changed into a blue dress during a break in filming to a grab a bite to eat
Quick change: Lindsay has a lunch break and changes into one of the sixty-six costumes that have been designed for the biopic
Back to work: Lindsay seen here filming against a green screen
Keep your hat on: Lohan holds on tight to her hat to avoid losing it to the wind
Last week Lindsay was seen fully
made-up as the star but in her own clothes during a break in filming,
clutching a cigarette, she looked deep in thought.
In white shorts and a tight black jumper the star had donned Aviator sunglasses for the break.
of her role, Lindsay revealed in a statement: 'I have always admired
and had enormous respect for Elizabeth Taylor.
Dressed to impress: Lohan's retro look was a far cry from the actress's own style
Rehearsal: Lindsay getting into character on set over the weekend
Method acting: Lindsay Lohan has even changed her Twitter picture to a snap of her dressed as Elizabeth Taylor
Legend: Lohan will portray Elizabeth Taylor
'She was not only an
incredible actress but an amazing woman as well.
'I am very honoured to have been asked to play this role.'
the source told TMZ that The Parent Trap child star has been granted
the 'final say on all wardrobe decisions' and she has been relishing the
opportunity to 'perfect Liz's looks'.
The site also claims LiLo has been
'obsessing' with 'getting into the Hollywood legend's head', even
changing her Twitter picture to a snap of her dressed as the star.
Previously released pictures show the actress in wardrobe getting ready for the shoot, which started this week.
modelled in a red dress, which is said to be based on a Valentino dress
Liz once wore and a green favourite Liz was captured in with her white
fur wrap, circa 1950.
Job done: Lohan walks away from her co-star after shooting the sequence

Descent Forever?
Posted on September 24, 2008
Interplay has a brand new website up with dedicated pages to some of their previous games, including Descent! Not really sure where this image above comes from, but I assume it's new. Too bad they didn't get those Pyro-GX's quite right, but it's still cool to see something fresh from the world of Descent.
The Phoenix
Posted on April 21, 2008
Their website only has the image below, but it seems Interplay is about to rise from the ashes. Here's hoping they get their act together soon enough to make a totally kick-ass, next-gen uh, current-gen version of Descent!

Clinique Pop Oil Lip & Cheek Glow
Oh, yum! The new Clinique Pop Oil Lip & Cheek Glow is for anyone who wanted a slightly thinner version of current lip oils. The reason that it's slightly less viscous than other oils is because the Clinique version is also for cheeks. I was expecting this to be a non-option for cheeks in reality (most lip & cheek hybrids only do one or the other well, farely both) but it's really not bad at all.
The shades I have here are Black Honey Glow and Nectar Glow. Because it's a translucent formula, you will get more colour on your cheeks than on your lips because of the difference in skin pigment in those areas. I was very pleasantly surprised to get a sheer stain on my cheeks from Nectar Glow that also gives a little bit of skin sheen which is gorgeous if you're edging it onto cheek bones. Because it's an oil, not a gloss, you certainly don't get sticky cheeks but if you have only ever ventured forward with powder blush, it will feel strange for a while.
Clinique Pop Oil Lip & Cheek Glow isn't scented (Clinique doesn't scent their products) so there's no vanilla-lollipop flavour to live on your lips, but it's not especially long lasting as a lip product. It did feel softening on the lip and quite luscious, thanks to safflower, jojoba and sunflower seed oils but you will need to top up after a time. Black Honey gave my lips a kind of see-though vampy look which is perfect for anyone who can't quite do the wickedly saturated vampy lip – you get a nuance of it.
Although the Clinique Pop Oil Lip & Cheek Glow has already launched in the US we have a few weeks to wait here. I'll try and flag them as soon as they arrive. I think they're really fun and actually do both jobs very well.

These look great Jane and I will investigate the vampy colour as I do prefer a sheer stain with a darker colour. Can you recommend anything like the former favourite Clinique clear lip plumper? x
I love what Clinique are doing with their Pop collection lately, and that includes these lip oils! 😀
I may look into these more when they finally launch in the UK. ^_^

Hawaii Legal Administrators Association donate school supplies
Over 100 vulnerable children will go to school this month carrying new backpacks filled with school supplies, thanks to a recent donation from the Hawaii Association of Legal Administrators, one of the Kukui Center's Community Partners.
They have been collecting supplies all summer in order to get them to the KC agencies in time to distribute the backpacks so that the families can make sure that their kids can have a fresh start to the new school year.
The legal administrators delivered boxes that were filled with crayons and pencils and pens and memo books, among other items. They made sure to provide enough supplies and backpacks so that the students in kindergarten through twelfth grades would get what they need.

EA DICE has a 12-minute-long gameplay trailer for Battlefield 3 in its vaults, but enough Facebook "likes" on its teaser could get it released early
Despite some rather silly words from EA executives, I'm quite looking forward to DICE's Battlefield 3, anti-sniper rocket launchers and all.
This little teaser trailer you see to the right doesn't make the wait any easier, either. Battlefield 3 is a stunningly gorgeous-looking game, the combat seems engaging and just hectic enough to be in that "sweet spot" of chaos. Also, any game which has you shooting down jet fighters in high-speed dogfights gets a plus in my book.
But this is just that - a teaser. EA has a 12-minute long extended gameplay trailer that it plans on releasing in a few days - I've heard this coming Monday, but can't find anything confirming that on the Battlefield site. However, if the Facebook page gets a million "likes," DICE will release the full thing early.
At time of writing, the page has just over 700,000 Likes, so we're more than halfway there. Unfortunately for EA, though, Valve may have just taken the wind out of its sails with a similar, if exponentially more brilliant marketing stunt for Portal 2.
Get to it, Battlefield fans! That is, if you aren't too busy trying to unlock Portal 2.

Amazing Roasted Tomatoes
This is one of those recipes that happened by chance. I had marinated some plum tomatoes in olive oil & balsamic to offer as samples at my Green Market stand and I had some leftovers that I couldn't possibly throw out… This is absolutely amazing as a bruschetta topping or tossed into cold or warm pasta.
- 1 lb plum tomatoes
- 1/2 cup of Trampolini Black Label EVOO
- 1/4 cup our 12 Year Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 teas oregano
- Salt & fresh ground pepper to taste
Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Quarter the tomatoes lengthwise, place into a bowl with the EVOO and balsamic. Toss together with the oregano, salt and pepper and then transfer to a ceramic baking dish (do not use a metal pan.) Bake for about 1 hour. Shut off the heat in the oven and let set for 20 minutes. Remove and let the tomatoes cool to room temperature to allow the flavors to truly develop.

Inaugural Caribbean Wedding Industry Awards starts tomorrow
Observer West writer
Thursday, September 06, 2018
ROSE HALL, St James — The inaugural staging of the Caribbean Wedding Industry Awards is set to attract scores of international wedding planners and travel agents during the three-day Caribbean-wide educational symposium and awards event.
The Montego Bay Convention Centre is to be the epicentre of the event, which starts tomorrow with a cocktail reception at the Rose Hall Great House, and continues to Sunday. On Saturday the opening ceremony, a luncheon, and the first day of conferences, and the expo take place.
The expo and conference activities wrap up on Sunday also at the centre, and will be followed by the awards dinner at the Hilton Rose Hall Resort and Spa in St James.
The initiative seeks primarily to educate hundreds of travel agents and wedding planners about the region's unique romance wedding and honeymoon offerings. It will also enable Caribbean resorts and destinations to showcase all their romance travel offerings to the overseas wedding planners and travel agents who book weddings and honeymoons for the Caribbean.
The expo segment features daily entertainment and booths, showcasing boutique hotels, all-inclusive hotels, florists, caterers, photographers, wedding planners, transportation services, honeymoon packages, reception sites, disc jockeys, invitations, party rentals, hair and make-up, wedding cakes and other players in the wedding market providing goods and services.
Another key feature of the event is the seasoned cadre of speakers including both local and international experts in their respective fields.
Speakers on the agenda include Jacqueline Vazquez, international master wedding planner, Jeff Hendlin, publisher of Bridal Guide Magazine, Marsha -Ann Brown, director of weddings and romance at Sandals Resorts International, Ophelia McKnight, destination wedding expert and Paulette Hossman, managing director at Tai Flora Services.
The event is a collaborative effort and is being produced by Peter Shoucair and Jo-Anne Paxton as well as the Jamaica Tourist Board.
Paxton explained the importance and the concept behind the event.
"Presenters include some of the world's top wedding- travel experts, with speakers from The Destination Wedding and Honeymoon Specialist Association, and The Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association. The idea is not only to educate travel sellers and make it easier for them to work with their bridal couples, but also to enable resorts and destinations from across the Caribbean to meet with agents and wedding planners, in a bid to promote their romance offerings, and to give the agents a first-hand look at the latest trends they'll be seeing, as the entire Caribbean opens its arms to newly weds and their wedding guests," said Paxton.

Essentials for Sustainability Reporting
It's that time again–time for annual sustainability / corporate responsibility / CSR / company progress reports. A report by any other name is still a long series of facts, stories and (hopefully) interesting infographics aiming to convey a past year of company effort and well-earned achievement.
Sustainability reports (which is the term I will use to cover the vast array of extra-financial reporting) have increased significantly in the last few years. For example, the number of sustainability reports from the Fortune 500 have jumped from 20% in 2011 to 72% in 2013.1
Reporting on environmental, social and governance (ESG) company information offers multiple benefits for businesses. These include, for example, identifying new avenues for risk management, business development, company differentiation, brand building and improving relationships with customers, employees and other stakeholders.
A lot of time and resources go into crafting a comprehensive sustainability report. While there are multiple factors to take into account, the level of Quality and Communication embodied in a report can shape it to be digestible, compelling and relevant to readers.
Quality reporting means finding the right balance
Reporting should highlight the year's outcomes of sustainability and stakeholder initiatives, and not just list activities the company is involved in. This includes commitments to goals that have either been realized or are getting there, described with an appropriate gauge of progress. A clear set of multi-year sustainability goals and performance against these goals in the reporting year shows that a company is serious about sustainability.
There is a fine balance between focusing on the important issues, ensuring accuracy of information, and demonstrating commitment to the broader range of sustainability issues. It's vital to:
1. Focus on priorities that are strategic to the company and its stakeholders
When Walmart began its sustainability endeavors it aligned its value proposition of having low prices with sustainability. With the assertion, "You don't have to pay more for sustainability," Walmart went on to save $4.8 million the first year from energy projects alone, which set them on track to reach a goal of saving $150 million on energy by 2020.2 By focusing on initiatives that aligned with Walmart's strategic priority of always offering low prices, the company found a new way to address stakeholder concerns over environmental issues.
A clear set of multi-year sustainability goals and performance against these goals in the reporting year shows that a company is serious about sustainability.
2. Illustrate how the company balances financial and societal demands
Capital One decided to begin a new philanthropy approach where it connected skilled Capital One employees with local non-profits to offer pro-bono services. Through this program, Capital One began to see a huge increase in retention and employee satisfaction as well as expand their commitment social responsibility.3 Tackling financial issues caused from employee turnover and under-engaged employees through a socially-minded approach, Capital One boosted retention rates and the productivity of its employees—aspects that are often costly and difficult to achieve.
3. Increase credibility by providing a clear picture of the company's achievements and progress
Several companies, including Dunkin' Brands, will include benchmarking graphs with labels showing the progress on particular initiatives. Through color coding or associated shapes, these companies can quickly convey their stated goals, progress so far, and what still needs work.
4. Aim for the highest level of accuracy and transparency
The last section of Nokia's sustainability report (2011) is dedicated to data, which includes key environmental, economic, employee, ethics and supply chain data tables. The data is substantiated by footnotes and additional tables that break things down by region and category to inform readers and promote data transparency.4 This level of detail and transparency allows the highest level of accuracy to be communicated to stakeholders.
5. Acknowledge and make plans for future progress
Kingfisher's 2013 Net Positive report included monthly progress reports that would be submitted to the Group Board for review and comment. Through committed goals and regular check ins, the company could increase chances of making significant headway in sustainability.5This kind of process acknowledges that reporting is part of a long plan towards better success in terms of the company and its sustainability goals.
Compelling Communications is the biggest challenge in reporting
Sustainability reports shouldn't be viewed as a dull but necessary part of sustainability compliance. Instead these reports should be seen as the raw material for dynamic sustainability storytelling that reaches communities far broader than the traditional target audience quartet of investor, employee, NGO and media stakeholders. It's essential to:
1. Provide a narrative that is simple, clear and compelling
In a 2009 report by the Financial Reporting Council, nine companies were found to have a CSR section longer than their financial review compiled too disproportionally of immaterial clutter. Only 20% of the sample provided a convincing explanation of why CSR is important to their business.6 Establishing a clear, succinct and relevant narrative will convey volumes more than a bulk of disjointed stories and statistics.
2. Clearly translate the company's commitment to sustainability
Citi dovetailed its sustainability commitment with its inherent strengths as a financial institution by developing new finance products for energy efficiency that it then tested across its own facilities.7 By "walking the talk," Citi was able to successfully convey its commitment to sustainability.
3. Maintain a tone that aligns well with the company's core brand values
Branding is important, especially when dealing with sustainability issues. A recent 2014 report from a brainstorm conference hosted by the Rainforest Alliance claims that "no one really understands what sustainability means," and the concept is evolving.8 Now is an excellent opportunity to discover how sustainability aligns with the most pressing and appropriate values of the day—and those that your company can integrate or reflect in its messaging.
4. Make included information understandable and accessible
Communicating a company's goals and accomplishments through data, storytelling and compelling visuals is challenging, but a vital aspect in sustainability reporting.
Although reporting can be technically focused and data heavy, there are many ways to convey these aspects in a communicable fashion. In addition, allowing access to information via an online presence or within the report itself is essential.
The Starbucks Shared Planet website is a good example of online stakeholder communication. The site provides information portals for stakeholders on issues like ethical sourcing, environment and community that contain clear reporting on progress, current initiatives, and future goals. The site also contains options for stakeholder feedback and submission of new ideas. The easily understandable and accessible website, plus its interactive approach, is impacting movement on Starbucks environmental efforts.9
5. Balance between providing engaging highlights and detailed content
The Coca-Cola Company released its 11th annual Sustainability report this fall that showcases three main pillars of focus: Women, Water and Well-being with each section beginning with a general goal such. Each section then concluded with a specific fact.10 This kind of balance of general highlights and more detailed content is ideal in conveying a believable and compelling message.
6. Don't just inform readers, engage them
Often building a two-way dialogue with stakeholders through easily accessible communication pathways, like social media and the internet, is a beneficial way to inform and engage stakeholders of the report. Simon Mainwaring, author of the New York Times bestseller WeFirst, even claims that connecting to stakeholders through web and media will play a differentiating factor for business success.11
7. Use appropriate and compelling visual aids to convey key concepts and simplify large amounts of data
It is the rare stakeholder, investor or employee who takes the time to read an entire sustainability report. Creating short, visually compelling snapshots of the report material helps streamline assimilation of the report's most important elements. In Ben and Jerry's 2013 Social & Environmental Assessment Report (SEAR), clever and creative infographics successfully communicate the company's priorities in terms of sourcing, use of GMO's and its Caring Dairy Program through the use of bananas, cocoa pods and happy cows.12
Sustainability reporting is relatively new, and like any new endeavor, can be challenging. The practice, however, is growing in significance and sophistication, and is often the main avenue company's have to convey many of the noteworthy and material aspects of their performance. While there is a lot of work that goes into compiling sustainability reports (believe me), they have the potential to illustrate new ideas and accomplishments that are incredibly important to the progress of businesses and society alike.

Collecting Residency and Fellowship Salaries
We are announcing the start of our most ambitious project yet (on top of our many ambitious projects)! We aim to collect and make salary information easily available for all US medical residencies and fellowships.
The goal is for medical students evaluating residencies (and residents contemplating fellowships) to spend less time gathering the data they need to compare the financial benefits of the programs they are considering. We also hope that it will incentivize institutions to offer better benefits to their house staff when they realize other programs are doing beating them. Nothing like some peer pressure to give them a nudge in the right direction.
Why this is Important
We recognize that salary is just one piece of the puzzle when choosing where to pursue training, we feel that people often forget that it is an important piece. For those will large loans, and also perhaps contemplating a traditionally less lucrative specialty (yes, non-surgical or gen peds, we're looking at you), income and salary made during residency and fellowship can become quite important, as often there is not enough time to "make up" for lost ground later on in a persons career.
Many residents would benefit from taking a little extra time to compare programs, especially with the wide range in overall compensation between programs when taking taxes, benefits, and cost-of-living into account. (And yes, we think the oxford comma is important as well.)
The Survey, The Results, and Spreading the Word
The current data and much more information about the survey is available here.
If you recently matched or are currently in a program and don't see your program information on there, please fill out our very short survey with your institution's salary information so that we can get all programs represented. Consider it your good deed for the day.
And most importantly, share this blog post and survey with your classmates at other programs, and check back as we update the results. You'll be surprised at some of the variability. Do programs in high cost-of-living or high-tax states provide higher salaries? Do institutions in the same region have similar salaries? Is there collusion? Competition? It's like a great murder mystery, except, well a lot less fun than a great murder mystery. But otherwise, identical.

Lets talk self care. Taking intentional actions to care for your physical, mental and emotional health. What the heck does that have to do with business? I'll tell you.
How amazing do you feel after vacation? Energized, refreshed, like you can do anything? What about after you sat and drank coffee (while it's still hot!) at your favorite coffee shop? Or after you get a pedicure, finish a new book, practice yoga? Chances are, you rarely finish these things without a smile on your face. And you know what? You've helped your physical, mental, or emotional health doing these things. Self care!
When we take time to take care of ourselves, we are better at everything else in our life. Better mothers or fathers, spouses, entrepreneurs. When we practice self care, we can clear our mind from the, pardon me, bullshit of daily life, and can really focus on what we are doing.
Too often we, typically this goes mostly for women but men can feel it too, feel guilty for doing anything for ourselves. We feel guilty going out and getting that coffee, pedicure, cocktail with a friend. We feel guilty sitting in our favorite chair to read the latest book from our favorite author. Why? Because there is laundry, kids to play with, work to do, emails to respond to, edits to make, marketing plans, yada, yada, yada. And that list is SOOOO long, we can't possible take 30 minutes a day for ourselves.
Taking that time, 15, 20, 30 minutes a day to do something JUST FOR YOU is absolutely necessary. When you start respecting yourself enough to take care of yourself, others begin to respect you more. Your clients respect you more because your tone can change. It will start to have confidence because you're not focused on all the other things you feel you have to get done, you'll actually have a clear mind to focus on THEM. To listen and connect to them. And making a client feel heard and appreciated will always lead to better, bigger business. You'll be able to focus better on getting through your inbox because you've made your head a little less cloudy. And if you're anything like me, that is a major breakthrough!
That laundry will always be there. The carpet will always need vacuuming. There may always be a few dishes in the sink or chores to do around the house. There may always be emails and edits to get to. You are WORTH taking time for yourself.
Don't believe me? Try it out.
Here's a challenge for you. Do this for 1 week. Determine the amount of time you're going to take for yourself each day. 15 minutes, 30 minutes? Think of a few things you can do that make you happy, and remember they are things JUST FOR YOU. That's not playing with your kids or taking photos for a client even if that's something you love to do. Practice self care every day for a week. And then come back and tell me how you feel.
Now go. You deserve it.

Tim Hsu writes in his e-mail article of 1994/04/13
Hi. I would like to be able to do the following thing: I have a
presentation of a finite group G, and I would like to be able to know,
say, the 100 "shortest" ways of expressing a word in the generators
which represents the identity in G as a product of conjugates of
relators. Is this easy to do in GAP? If not, do you know of another
program which does this?
This is similar to the word problem, so I very much doubt that a good
deterministic algorithm exists. What you could do is to systematically
enumerate the words in the relators and just check whether or not such a
word simplifies in the free group to the given word. Obviously this
will only work if the given word has a rather short representation as
word in the relators.
Another possibility might be to add the given word to the generators, and
then to use Tietze transformations to get rid of the word again. If one
keeps track of the transformations, this could be used to write the given
word in the original relators. This is, however, not very likely to
give the shortest such representation.

The very best way to avoid dental health problems such as dental cavities, tooth infections, tooth decay, and gum disease is by practicing good oral hygiene.
We have many patients who want a step-by-step guide on how to set up a good oral hygiene routine and what types of things should be included in this routine. Please consider this page as your oral hygiene guide!
Below are the 4 things that should always be a part of your daily dental hygiene routine:
We all know that we should be brushing our teeth every day. But there's a technique that can help you brush your teeth correctly.
Flossing should be as important to your routine as brushing is. If you don't floss, you're allowing plaque to build up in between the teeth, where your brush can't reach. We see many cavities forming between the teeth because people are forgetting to floss. Below are some tips on how to floss correctly.
Many people don't know that cleaning your tongue should be as important a step as brushing and flossing. The same kinds of bacteria that accumulate on the teeth, are building up on your tongue as well. Below are some ways to make sure you're keeping your tongue healthy and clean:
Please remember to rinse your mouth after you clean your tongue. This will wash away any remaining bacteria.
Lastly, making sure to visit Dr. Nora Balota every six months for a dental cleaning and exam can be a great way to care for your dental health. Not only will you receive a professional dental cleaning, but you'll also get a comprehensive dental exam. During this exam, Dr. Balota will be able to detect any potential problems early on, when they're simpler and more cost effective to treat.

"The government is trying to make street vendors disappear, despite the global recognition of Thailand's street food scene," said Adisak Guntamuanglee, an expert on urban planning at the UCDC.
The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) must find a better policy to manage space, or risk losing its tourism magnet status and hurting the local economy, Mr Adisak said in a seminar entitled 'Brainstorming for Practical Rules for Street Vendors' held at Thammasat University.
Mr Adisak floated the idea of a so-called 'co-eating space', a concept he said could possibly replace street carts that are seen by some as old-fashioned and unhygienic, while allowing food vendors to remain on pavements.
In several countries, pavements are designed with rest areas that can be used by street vendors, he said.
"Public spaces, including sidewalks, are not only intended for pedestrians," he said. Mr Adisak said that certain places, such as the area underneath the BTS Skytrain station in Ari, should be declared off-limits to vendors as they are reserved for ambulances.
However, other areas with pavements that are wide enough to be split and designated as space for street vendors should be redesigned to make them attractive for both Thais and foreigners, he said.
The government will, however, have to invest more in sanitary and waste disposal systems to ensure food hygiene and prevent the vendors' activities from affecting the environment, he said.
"The BMA has the power to manage and address all these issues through better regulations. It can do more than just keep vendors off sidewalks," he said.
It is estimated that there are about 300,000 street vendors in Bangkok alone, 37% of who are food vendors, said Poonsap Suanmuang of the Foundation for Labour and Employment Promotion.
Assuming that each vendor family has four to five members, the BMA's regulation may affect the lives of between 1.3 million and 1.5 million people, she said.
"All they want is a space where they can earn a living. They are not asking for any financial support from the government, or anything else," she said.
Narumol Nirathron, an academic with Thammasat University's Faculty of Social Administration, concurred with Ms Poonsap and said the BMA's regulation is a top-down policy that adversely affects a large number of people.BMA executives tend to view street vendors as non-Bangkok residents who are causing problems with the city's cleanliness and waste management, according to Ms Narumol.
Natdanai Kulthatchayakaranan, a street vendor on Silom Rd, said many vendors like him have been cooperating with the BMA's efforts to better regulate the use of Bangkok's pavements.
They were always willing to move when asked to stay away from roads and keep the pavements clean, but in the end they were told to leave nonetheless, he said.
Aom, a street food vendor who works on Soi On Nut 70, said the area has won numerous awards for being an outstanding place to get street food.
But when the BMA implemented its strict policy, street vendors in the area were forced to move away from the pavements to a new location, where the rent is simply too high, she said.
"We are living solely on the income we earn from selling things," she said.
"They are taking the money that we have set aside for our children's education, as well as to pay off our household debts."

Alaskan Malamute Wallpapers
Alaskan Malamute Products
The Alaskan Malamute
The Alaskan Malamute is one of three dog breeds with have descended from the sled dog of long ago; the other two being Samoyed and the Siberian Husky. Of the three breeds the Alaskan Malamute is the largest.
Sometimes the Siberian Husky and Alaskan Malamute are confused by those that aren't familiar with how they look, as they appear to be somewhat similar to the untrained eye. Samoyed on the other hand are easy to identify because they're all white in color.
And if you think the Alaskan Malamute looks like a wolf, that's because it in fact has descended from arctic wolves; the reason it does best outside, although it can be trained to be a good indoor dog if it's done correctly.
In this article we'll look at wallpapers of the Alaskan Malamute, which most of us picture when thinking of these three species of Arctic dogs.
Colors associated with the sled dog breed include white and black, wolf sable (dark gray coat on the outer part of the dog and red undercoat), and wolf gray. Some also have a distinctive reddish brown coat which some simply call "red," although when you see the former description would coincide more with the reality.
Malamutes make awesome photos with their color and dignified look, and are great for computers and smaller screens. Along with the color and shape of the dog, the size also plays a factor in the majestic look and feel of this magnificent dog.
Magnificent Alaskan Malamute Wallpaper Photo
This wallpaper of an Alaskan Malamute shows the amazing physical features of this terrific dog breed. Everything on this particular dog entails the strengths of the Malamute, including that friendly face, perked ears and curved tail in the back.
Also terrific is the fur, which appears to be filling out in what is presumably the approaching winter season.
The markings on him are great and make for a really nice wallpaper.
Alaskan Malamute Puppies
Not only are Alaskan Malamutes a fantastic looking adult dog, they're adorably cute as newborns, as you see here in the photo. It's not uncommon for an occasional Malamute to be born with reddish brown markings, as the puppy on the right below is.
As for an overall image that would be a delight to have on a computer, this one would have to get someone thinking positively and lighten up in the midst of the challenges of the day. How could you remain negative or down with these two faces looking at you?
Malamutes Pulling Sleds
Next we have images of the way most of us think of Alaskan Malamutes, or have seen them in living situations. And that is in regard to them doing the work of pulling a sled.
Here in the top photo is a team of Malamutes in the middle of pulling a sled, while in the bottom photo the team is taking a rest after doing some work.
They're both good looking wallpapers, but my favorite is the top one where the dogs captured happily working.
Malamutes are known for enjoying the work of pulling a sled, but are notorious at times for misbehaving when resting, depending upon how long of a rest they're required to take. Just like a child, the longer there is nothing to do the more trouble they are apt to get into.
Malamute Playing in Grass
Even though Malamutes and snow are made for each other, that doesn't mean they are never exposed to grass, as they don't live in totally snow-covered climates where it never melts.
That's evidenced by this fun picture of a big Malamute playfully rolling in the grass. His fur is about as long as the grass here. It almost feels weird to see a Malamute rolling around in the grass because of their love of the snow and thriving in cooler environments.
This particular dog doesn't have it, but some have a reddish brown tint on the belly side.
Malamute Sitting in Snow
I thought it would be an interesting experiment to put an Alaskan Malamute photo of one sitting in a snowy setting right after showing one that is rolling around on the grass. Obviously personal taste dictates things of this nature, and I'll leave it to you as to which one you prefer.
Since I was born in northern Minnesota and stayed there in my early adult years. I think it's impossible for me to think of any other setting for a Malamute than one that is full of snow.
But then again, since we tire of the snow and cold in that region of the country, a picture of one playing in the grass could be a nice relief.
It's amazing to me to see this Malamute in the snow sitting there with no apparent affect from the cold snow and weather. They are probably more comfortable in the cold than they are in warmer climates and weather.
Alaskan Malamute Wallpapers and Photos
If you're like me, you're always on the hunt for terrific and inspirational wallpapers to add to your computer or smaller screen to reflect a certain day; whether full of challenges, negative energy or a need for something to get you going to accomplish whatever is needed at the time.
To me Alaskan Malamutes are an amazing dog, and one that can provide all sorts of inspiration and laughs to meet the immediate needs of the moment.
This is a good representation of the various types of Malamute wallpapers there are out there to choose from.

Cancer Screening for Women - Some Controversies
"Review Finds Mammography's Benefits Overplayed, Harms Dismissed
Talk to women here in the office, and it quickly becomes clear that we're confused about what to do about mammograms. And no wonder.
Two months ago, a widely publicized Canadian study found that mammograms did not reduce breast cancer deaths, but that study was fiercely criticized by the nation's radiologists as "incredibly flawed and misleading."
A few weeks earlier, an analysis found that screening all women annually starting at age 40, as the American Cancer Society recommends, costs $6.5 billion more a year more than following the U.S. Preventive Service's Task Force recommendation that women be screened every other year starting at age 50.
Now, the latest entries — two studies that try to put all the previous research on mammography's harms and benefits in perspective.
Mammograms are a key screening tool for breast cancer. But critics say they're not good enough.
First, researchers at Harvard took a broad look at all the research on mammograms since 1960 — more than 50 years of study. They also looked at evidence on the harms of false positives and overdiagnoses, in which a woman is treated for a cancer that would never have proved deadly. And they reviewed whether current efforts to try to personalize a woman's cancer risk helped a woman figure out whether it was worth her while to get a mammogram.
Their conclusion: The benefits of mammography, though real, have been oversold, while the harms have been minimized."
Yale Cancer Center Studies Find Lifestyle Changes Improve Biomarkers Associated with Breast Cancer Recurrence and Mortality
"Older Women May Actually Be More At Risk For Cervical Cancer
Women are often told they don't have to get a Pap test for cervical cancer if they're over 65, but the data behind that recommendation might underestimate their cancer risk, researchers say.
That's because many studies don't take into account that many women have had hysterectomies. The surgery removes a woman's risk of cervical cancer; no cervix, no cancer. And 20 percent of the women over age 20 in this study said they had had that surgery.
When they looked at cancer rates only in women who hadn't had a hysterectomy, the researchers found that the odds of having cervical cancer were higher; 18.6 per 100,000 women, compared to 11.7 cases without that adjustment.
And while earlier studies had found that women's risk of cervical cancer peaks in their early 40s, this analysis found that the risk was highest for women in their late 60s. They had a cervical cancer rate of 27.4 cases per 100,000. The rate was higher for African-American women, at 53 per 100,000, compared to 24.7 for white women.
"We started to come to notice that maybe hysterectomy wasn't being taken into account in all studies," says Anne Rositch, an assistant professor in the department of epidemiology and public health at the University of Maryland Medical School and first author of the study. It was published online Monday in the journal Cancer.
Many people think that colon cancer screening is no walk in the park. This giant inflatable colon on display at the University of Miami Health System campus was intended to help them think otherwise.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, an independent body that sets practice guidelines, says that women over 65 who aren't at high risk don't need to be screened for cervical cancer. "There is moderate or high certainty that the service has no net benefit or that the harms outweigh the benefits," the task force guidelines say.
That might be because it can be harder to screen older women for cervical cancer, Rositch told Shots, because of changes in the cervix after menopause. Or it could be because the USPSTF reviewers saw those studies saying that older women have a lower risk. But a study on screening in older women published last year found that women who had ages 55 to 79 who did have a Pap test lowered their cancer risk over the next 5 to 7 years."

What a man! He is so quiet and unassuming, and was wearing such a super casual outfit of jeans, a hoodie and what l think was a corduroy jacket, that I didn't even realise it was him at first. Unlike some stars, who don't have nearly as much clout in Hollywood as he does, Joss stopped to chat to every news outlet and was polite, charming and engaging with everyone.
We talked about Much Ado About Nothing, which I am so excited about and have posted about before. When I asked him why he didn't just go on holiday like a normal person after finishing The Avengers, he said his wife insisted he make the movie because she knows he is happiest when he's working. He had so much praise for his cast, [comprised of his friends and frequent collaborators] and was cautious about all of the love it's getting from festivals, saying he'll wait for the viewing public to judge it.
Of course he refused to give any Avengers 2 spoilers but Joss admitted he's both relaxed and nervous about the sequel, because the first movie was so well received.
While we were chatting Kim Kardashian walked along the red carpet behind Joss and the screams were deafening. It's kind of sad that the genius of Joss wasn't recognised in the same way but considering Avengers took home three awards, Best Fight, Best Villain, and Movie of the Year, I doubt he cared.
