On October 3, 2009 the Canadian Catholic Bioethics Institute and the Catholic Civil Rights League will host "Conscience and the Good of Society." This one-day symposium will explore how the formation and exercise of conscience are moral imperatives of every helping professional, and thus, should continue to be recognized as legitimate and necessary practice in their corresponding professional codes of conduct. By reaffirming the formation and exercise of conscience, professionals continue to contribute to the good of society, and to deepen ethical reflection and practice.
"Conscience and the Good of Society" will be of special relevance for health
care professionals, lawyers, educators, civil officials, and any one interested
in human rights policies.

Recommendation Letter Guide
Recommendation letter should be written by the people who are going to sign the letter. Recently students have started writing recommendation letters by themselves which is not a good practice and will instead get you in trouble. Recommendation letters are taken very seriously by the admissions committee, they are read and re-read and then discussed. Admission decision can be taken or revoked based on your recommendation letters. Suggested layout of a recommendation letter is described below.
Step 1: Opening Paragraph
Opening should indicate general but not excessive warmth for example "I am writing this letter on behalf of XYZ" and follow is by some explanation about who you are and how you know the prospective student for whom the letter is being written, for how long do you know the student and in what capacity. Then go on to compare the student in terms of discipline and topical/thematic focus. For example, "XYZ was among the top young phycologists in our department and shows a great deal of promise." Sufficient description of the research work should be provided, dissertation/thesis can also be used. The most important things a letter does is it provides a context on candidate's research in awider scope.
Step 2: Second Paragraph
Second paragraph should continue and reassure that dissertation is almost done and that the book manuscript will be forthcoming. Pace of work and productivity are of paramount importance here. The main idea is to represent the candidate as a soon to be scholar rather than a graduate student to stir some interest.
- Evidence should be provided for the aspiring success of candidate in the profession. Grant support, awards, publications associated with the primary research should also be mentioned here. Conference activity can also be mentioned here.
- Next steps required in the research for the candidate should also be mentioned so that the committees feel reassured of commitment and long term goals.
- Specific attributes of the discipline for example the country of research, language fluency, technical skills and other similar things should also be mentioned.
- Teaching abilities of the candidates are also worth mentioning with specific examples if possible.
- Ability to assist in other tasks and not just the research work should also be mentioned here. As sometimes committee is concerned that research work will overwhelm the candidate and he will not be able to serve as a helping hand in other tasks in the department.
Step 3: Final Paragraph
- Should include a brief comment about his character and personality. Attributes like resourcefulness, responsibility, good humor, organization, energy, etc can be included.
- Last sentences should includethe gist of the letter and final recommendation sentence with a sentence to contact the writer of the letter if any additional information or clearance is required.
General Guidance:
- It should be at least two single spaced pages long.
- It should be on a letterhead.
- It should not depict any emotions.
- It should stay strictly at the level of evidence and substance.
- It should not rely on cheap and empty adjectives such incredible, remarkable, extraordinary, amazing, etc.
- It should not include praises like ("XYZ is one of the better graduate students we've had in the department ever")
- It should emphasize depictions of the candidate as a professional scholar, NOT a graduate student.
- It should remember to include the wider context, providing a discipline-level view of the candidate's accomplishments and promise.
- It should provide specific information or examples about research, argument, methods, teaching, or service and should not be vague.
- It should be written in a positive note. Click here to read more about Guidelines for writing reference letters and click here to view a Recommendation Letters Sample

Debutant director Shefali Bhushan has managed to pull off what most filmmakers could only dream of! In a coup of sorts, that's bound to make any filmmaker envious, the newbie has gotten two of the biggest names in the music industry, AR Rahman and Vishal Bhardwaj, on board to sing one track each in her directorial debut, Jugni. The film boasts of a 12-track album composed by Clinton Cerejo. Only one prayer song sung by Rahman, 'Lakhon Salaam', has been penned and composed by Kashif.
About Rahman's song, Shefali says, "It comes at a significant, pious moment in the film when the male protagonist goes into a deep emotional space and we could only think of Mr. Rahman to give voice for it."
Scripted by Shefali, she reveals that her film is about the journey of Vaibhavi, a music director who travels to a village in Punjab looking for Bibi Saroop and meets her folk singer son, Mastana, a talented singer himself who winds his way into her heart. Jugni means firefly in Hindi, and is also a popular folk song in Punjab about a search. And the director says that the name worked well with her theme about a composer in search of soulful music and finding lots more than just that.
Shefali shares that her leading lady, Sugandha Garg, is a musician herself, but Siddhant Behl, who plays Mastana is neither a musician nor a singer. "However he is completely convincing on screen," she adds. Having been associated with the online project Beat of India, started in 2000 to popularise traditional Indian music, Shefali admits that the story grew out of her communications with folk singers from different parts of the country.
Jugni is slated to release on 22nd January 2016

Want to learn new ways to make extra money?
Join the family to get updates from us and tons of cool freebies:
Our number one goal at DollarSprout is to help readers improve their financial lives, and we regularly partner with companies that share that same vision. Some of the links in this post may be from our partners. Here's how we make money.
The word 'free' has been misused too many times. Often you can only get something "free" if you buy or subscribe for a fee.
Or the "free" deal is a "buy 2, get the 3rd one free" or "stay two nights and get the 3rd night free" kind of deal. You know what I mean. . .
The good news is, this post tells you the secrets of how to get really free stuff without spending a dime.
You save ALL your money.
Now, that's a nice change isn't it? I know it's possible because I've used most of the ideas below. I LOVE getting free things. Who doesn't?
Let's begin.
See Also: 25 Fun Things to Do on a No Spend Weekend
Harvest Nature's Bounty
During Fall, my family take more walks in local nature reserves, along rivers and a public walkway that links two internal roads. Why?
I discovered that I could harvest apples from the trees in reserves. I've also found apple trees lining the steps of a walkway that links two roads. Along a certain river, there are several trees laden with walnuts. Equipped with boxes and long poles, my family and I can harvest many walnuts before they fall right into the river. In such areas, no one bothers to harvest the fruits. They are just left to fall and rot on the ground. These trees do not belong to anyone, so gathering the fruits is acceptable. Also, it reduces the wastage that happens when unharvested fruits and nuts are left to rot. You can give your neighbors some as well ?
Caution: Be aware of any laws that forbid the taking of fruits from public places. Stay within the law. Also, do NOT collect any mushrooms at all, as they could be poisonous.
Just Ask Nicely for Free Food and Stuff
There may be fruit trees in your neighbors' gardens like lemons, peaches and vegetables. You can ask them nicely if you can have some. After all, you've got nothing to lose. At the very most, they say no and give you a strange look. I didn't get no for an answer when I asked my neighbor for some lemons – I was invited to take as many as I needed. (Interestingly, at my previous place, I had a large lemon bush which was laden with fruits. Some neighbors sent their kids over to ask me for some. I happily gave the lemons away).
Join a Community Garden
Another way you can get free vegetables is to join a community garden as a volunteer. Put in some time once a week and in return you can bring home a variety of vegetables from the shared garden. Free vegetables for your healthy eating?
Collect and Grow
Being a succulent and cacti enthusiast, I take wild plants and propagate my own plants, as they are super easy to grow. Besides having free plants of my own, I ended up selling the extra plants as I had too many. So, I not only have free plants, but I also made some money off them. Isn't that wonderful?
Become a Hunter-Gatherer
If you have the skills, time and/or inclination, you may want to consider hunting for fresh meat like hare, ducks and geese.
Digging for shellfish or harvesting fresh seaweed in clean waters might also be other things you could do to obtain free food. It's fun too J Once I met a senior by the beach gathering seaweed. She told me that she uses them to fertilize her plants, after giving the seaweed a good washing.
Remember, do find out about any hunting licenses and restrictions before you turn hunter-gatherer!
Dive into Dumpsters
Get free food, as supermarkets dump food items like bread and other items which are near or past their expiry dates. Students have been known to 'patronize' the dumpsters and why not? It reduces wastage and the food is often found to be still eatable. Once I collected loaves of bread from a dumpster, so that I could feed the ducks at a public garden. There were throngs of excited ducks following us and we gave some of the bread to tourists so they could feed the ducks too! I'm not sure who were the happiest that day – me, the tourists or the ducks! Caution – be aware of any laws that may prohibit dumpster diving.
Check Out Builders' Skips
Builders' skips can be a free treasure trove! A friend salvaged new building materials thrown away by builders and used them to construct a new house. He actually built a house from the salvaged materials. I could hardly believe it myself, but he was featured in the local newspaper. As for me, the results were less spectacular, but still satisfying ?. I asked a builder for several sheets of builders' plastic and pieces of wood that I saw in his skip. The free plastic was just the thing to suppress the weeds in my garden, while the free wood came in handy in my home as a step stool. So, I avoided spending money on stuff, and at the same time reduced the wastage of resources.
Collect Free Landscaping Supplies
My garden needed some rocks to enhance its beauty. During one of my walks, I noticed someone excavating his land and there was this huge mountain of rocks, perfect for my landscaping needs. Needless to say, he was most happy for me to take away some of his rocks. It was a win-win day for everyone. On another occasion, I asked a building foreman if he would mind if I took some rocks his team had excavated. He actually offered to deliver them!
Pop by the Visitors' Information Center
Be sure to check out the visitors' information centers, whether you're a tourist or not. This is what I discovered browsing through the tourist brochures – FREE one day bus passes, and free entry tickets to attractions.
Join Free Classes
Check out your local community centers or their websites – sometimes there are free gym, yoga and Tai Chi classes. In my city, Tai Chi classes are offered absolutely free during the weekends. Each class lasts 2 hours. An organization I work for on a casual basis has free yoga classes for staff twice a week. These are great free ways to stay healthy. I have also used free legal advice at a local community law center.
Join Free Online Courses
You can enroll for free online courses at Udemy. They include a wide variety of skills, ranging from software programming to digital marketing courses.
Learning has never been so accessible and rewarding ? Upskilling in the right areas can make you more efficient and valuable at work.
Borrow and Swap Stuff
Let's say you're having visitors with children staying at your place. Just ask your colleagues or neighbors if they could lend sofa beds or child car seats. In my area, someone even got to borrow a caravan to travel in during the holidays! Save on rental bills!
What to do about children's toys? Do a swap with neighbors or friends. You don't need to keep buying new toys. Children get tired of them quite quickly. Do ensure that they are clean before using or returning them.
You can swap produce with your neighbor if you grow vegetables or have fruit trees of your own. In this way, you don't have to spend money buying a variety of produce.

Check Craigslist and Other Similar Websites
Select your closest area and under the "FOR SALE" category, click on "Free". A quick glance shows many types of free stuff like dishwasher, recliner, clothes, food, twin mattress, firewood .
That's incredible. I did notice that some kind folks actually offered free delivery. You can even adopt a cat or a dog. I was eyeing a cute little toy dog ? There are other websites that offer a wide range of things for free. You just need to google words like "free" and the name of your town or city for these websites.
Use Workplace Freebies
Don't forget to take advantage of free beverage like tea and coffee if these are offered by your employer. The organization I work for has two coffee machines that churn out hot chocolate, lattes, mochas, cappuccino and more at the touch of a few buttons. Savoring each cup of effortless freshly-made FREE coffee is magic J Why spend your money on Starbucks? You can save about $1,000 a year by drinking workplace coffee and other beverages.
Sometimes, my co-workers leave their unwanted items like books, clothes and computer speakers for others to help themselves in my workplace staff room. This happens more often near Christmas, when folks often do their spring cleaning. Make it a point to check the free stuff out. This equals free stuff.
Visit Free Places of Interest
Plan free visits to museums, art galleries and public gardens. Summer pools may be free. Some schools allow children to play in their pools during the summer holidays, supervised by their parents.
Make Known You're Looking for Freebies
Let your colleagues and friends know that you welcome free things. My friends sometimes donate used clothes to our family, maybe because we are appreciative – we've never turned down their kind gesture. We usually don't buy clothes except on occasion. A relative who married well used to give me her sons' Lego toys as well and new winter jackets.
Cruise Around for Free Stuff
Certain US cities have a designated day in the week, when folks leave unwanted items by the curb for others to pick up for free. A win-win idea – cruise around your neighborhood and collect free stuff for your use.
Collecting freebies is great for your pocket and the environment, as unwanted but useful stuff is put to good use, meaning less stuff goes into landfills.
Never Pay for Flowers Again
Why spend your money on buying fresh flowers? Instead, go for a nature walk and pick some free wildflowers to decorate your home. They're just as beautiful, especially during spring and summer.
Enjoy Free Public Events
Look out for free public concerts in your city. In my city there are free lunchtime concerts in parks during summer. Some coastal towns may have beach events that you can enjoy for free. Enjoy a free and fun outing with your family at no cost at all (They have already been paid for using your rates).
Get New Freebies from Companies
Commercial premises sometimes offer free stuff. I know of a carpet shop that has a skip where they put up a sign saying "Help yourself". You can get free pieces of carpet or vinyl this way. Another company that sells decking materials offers free wood. It's new and in great condition. I couldn't resist helping myself to many choice pieces for my home DIY project
With these 20 secrets you can certainly get your free food and stuff on a regular basis. You will save a lot of money, cut down on the wastage of resources, and also reduce the amount of useful things that often end up as waste in landfills. Make sure you take steps to be in a win, win, win situation
Thanks for reading this post. I had so much fun writing this because I know they'll give you great ideas to get lots of stuff for free, just like I did.

Woman hit by train south of downtown Bellingham
A woman was killed by a train on Monday night south of downtown Bellingham, authorities said Tuesday.
Dr. Gary Goldfogel, Whatcom County medical examiner, ruled her death a suicide. He said the 37-year-old woman left notes about her intentions.
Assistant Chief Bill Hewett of the Bellingham Fire Department said firefighters were sent to a report of a woman hit by a train about 7:30 p.m. Monday at Pine and Wharf streets, where the tracks cross the road near the south end of Cornwall Avenue.
"She was deceased at the scene," Hewett said, adding Bellingham Police are investigating.
BNSF Railway spokesman Gus Melonas said the train was an Amtrak passenger liner using BNSF tracks. Two Amtrak trains and three BNSF freight trains were delayed while police investigated the incident, Melonas said.
Vernae Graham, Amtrak spokeswoman in Oakland, California, said the Amtrak 517 was southbound from Vancouver, B.C., and was due to stop at the Fairhaven station. It was traveling at 20 mph when the engineer saw the woman sitting on the tracks.
No injuries were reported to the crew or passengers and the locomotive suffered no damage, Graham said. Both the conductor and engineer asked for relief after the incident and they went off-duty, Graham added.
Bellingham Police Lt. Danette Beckley said authorities are withholding the woman's name until her relatives could be notified.
"The train had given its warning whistles but the person did not move," Beckley said in a statement.
Melonas said the tracks opened about 10 p.m. Monday.
He said this was the 22nd train fatality this year in Washington state, and the third this week.

The Ohio Business Roundtable was created in 1992 with the goal of improving Ohio's business climate and, ultimately, its influence on the economy nationally. During his time in congress, Tiberi was a senior member of the House Ways and Means Committee, as well as the Subcommittee on Tax Policy. As the former chairman of the Subcommittee on Trade, he helped lead the effort to pass Trade Promotion Authority, a process detailing how Congress considers trade agreements. Tiberi ended his final term in office as Chairman of the Joint Economic Committee.

Magnesium—Absolutely Essential to Obtain Vitamin D Benefits
Earlier this year, I wrote about the connection between magnesium and vitamin D ("Taking Vitamin D? Don't Forget the Magnesium!"), based on research that shows that not only does magnesium allow for proper vitamin D metabolism—which, among numerous benefits, reduces the calcium build-up that vitamin D causes—it is also essential for the efficient metabolism and utilization of calcium. A new study reported in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition[1] confirms this and other research that links low magnesium levels with low vitamin D levels.
This latest study also revealed some startling new information indicating that magnesium optimizes vitamin D "status" in the body—increasing it in people with deficient levels and lowering it in people with too-high levels. This, researchers believe, is vitally important because people synthesize vitamin D differently. In some individuals, vitamin D levels were found to not rise even after being given high doses of the vitamin. Using magnesium in vitamin D studies, and via magnesium's "raising/lowering vitamin D levels as needed" properties, more-reliable conclusions can be achieved in research regarding conditions related to vitamin D levels. Additionally, thanks to magnesium's ability to balance and optimize vitamin D levels, more people will be able to enjoy the plethora of benefits that come from optimal—not too low, not too high—blood levels of this all-important vitamin.
Dr. Martha Shrubsole states: "Vitamin D insufficiency is something that has been recognized as a potential health problem on a fairly large scale in the U.S. A lot of people have received recommendations from their health care providers to take vitamin D supplements to increase their levels based upon their blood tests. In addition to vitamin D, however, magnesium deficiency is an under-recognized issue. Up to 80 percent of people do not consume enough magnesium in a day to meet the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) based on those national estimates."
It's no stretch to suggest that vitamin D and magnesium are the two nutrients that have more applications for more areas in human health than any other nutrient. As research is continuing to reveal, supplying your body with adequate amounts of magnesium is undeniably essential if any true benefits from vitamin D supplementation are to be enjoyed. This includes improved athletic performance—see "Vitamin D Delivers!"
How much magnesium do you need?
The government-set Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for magnesium is 420 mg a day for males and 320 mg a day for females. While this is a good starting point in terms of optimizing your magnesium intake, keep in mind that consuming the RDA amounts are "just enough to ward off outright deficiency," according to Dr. Carolyn Dean.
A more appropriate amount to aim for is the Optimal Daily Intake (ODI) standard of 500-750 mg of magnesium. Dr. Shari Lieberman, who developed the ODIs, states: "In order to attain a state of optimum health and disease prevention, we must take into our bodies' optimum—not minimum—amounts of vitamins and minerals.
In his hallmark paper, "Magnesium: The Key to Health and Life," James South writes, "Magnesium expert Mildred Seelig discovered that for most people, at least 6 milligrams magnesium per kilogram of body weight is necessary to ensure a positive magnesium balance. This is roughly 2.7 milligrams magnesium per pound of body weight. For those under severe chronic stress, or who are engaged in strenuous work/athletic training that promotes intense sweating even higher levels might be required, up to 10 milligrams per kilogram of body weight, or 4.5 milligrams per pound."
Keeping in mind that the Seelig study goes back to 1964, with our magnesium needs surely having increased since that time, this suggests a dose of 405 mg–675 mg of magnesium daily for a 150-pound athlete.
Essential Mg is the answer
Essential Mg contains 100 mg of elemental magnesium per capsule from five highly bioavailable forms: bisglycinate, succinate, citrate, malate, and taurinate. For numerous areas in human health—including optimizing vitamin D metabolism and utilization, thus allowing you to receive all of this vitamin's benefits—Essential Mg is the ideal way to ensure that you're receiving optimal amounts of this all-important mineral.

Diamond buying guides use a system of four Cs – cut, clarity, color, and carat weight – to help people understand what comprises a quality diamond. I like to add two more Cs when I explain how to approach making this special purchase – confidence in your jeweler and cleanliness. Sometime in the future, I will write about confidence. For now, I want to stick to cleanliness.
In between your visits to me or your local jeweler, you should be properly cleaning your jewelry at home. Here is some advice on how to clean your gold, platinum, and gemstones. Opals and pearls have different methods, which I will discuss in a later post.
The jar cleaner I sell comes with a small brush and a basket, making it easy to remove any dirt from hand cream, oil, soap, cooking ingredients, and other sources. The solution does not leave water spots when it dries. These spots often refract the light differently and result in less brilliance for your diamond. If you are not using the jar cleaner I sell, I suggest warming some water, mixing in ammonia and a gentle soap. Please never use a chlorine-based cleaner, as it will discolor the gold.
Once you have your cleaning solution, the process is easy. My wife does it right after she finishes putting on her make-up. Leave the piece in the solution for at least a few minutes or even overnight. Then, remove it, gently brush it, and rinse once more in the solution. Easy steps to keep your jewelry looking like true keepsakes.

Brandify Summit 2018 was a 3-day event filled with learning from industry trailblazers, networking with like-minded peers, engaging in break-out sessions and unveiling solutions for common problems in Local. Here are 10 takeaways from the Brandify Summit that you can use to expand your local marketing knowledge:
1. Leverage the power of smart data
"The top companies are data-centric." Manish Patel, Brandify CEO, spoke about the power of Dark Data and how businesses who are not leveraging it are at a disadvantage. Dark Data is essentially information that companies are not leveraging, which could be anything from social media, reviews, reputation management or reaction data. How can companies collect data? The newest way is through voice. Customers are actually talking to you - question is, "Are you listening?"
Although the future of technology may be scary, Manish assures the audience that "The future will always be more human."
- 2. Use reviews to transform your business
Wes Helms, IBM Watson Strategic Partnerships, advised the audience to use reviews to change their business. Whereas most businesses just keep an eye on their reviews, Wes encourages us to dig deeper. "Don't only respond to reviews, look for opportunities to improve your business. Follow in the footsteps of data driven companies."
One message was clear, reviews play a larger role in your business than some may think.
- Steven Chen, Senior Product Manager at Google, stressed the importance of reviews by sharing that "when searching for local information, 27% of people look for reviews."
- Terri Orban, Sr. Internet Marketing Specialist at Unigroup, worked alongside with Brandify to create a strategic approach when it came to responding to reviews which yielded amazing results. UniGroup was able to increase their review response by 12% and increase their rating by 0.12 stars. Furthermore, they found that Yelp users are 33% more likely to upgrade their review and rating when a business owner responds within 1 day.
- 3. Uncover the TripAdvisor algorithm
Mark Goloboy, Marketing leader from TripAdvisor, shared best practices for reputation management and interesting results from a study that they conducted.
- 85% of restaurant owners feel that they could do more promotions.
- While 13% of restaurant owners say they use a branding agency like Brandify
- Most effective channels to market are social media, online listing services and SEO.
For those who rely on TripAdvisor to capture foot traffic, Mark dove into how ranking at TripAdvisor works:
- Rating + Volume
- Recency: TripAdvisor wants to see that reviews are recent
- Relevance: There is a master list of restaurants for LA. If you want your restaurant to be known for having the best burger, TripAdvisor needs to find reviews consistent with your keyword, "best Burger in LA"
4. Decide what your brand stands for
Our panelists which consisted of Ryan Bell, Media Specialist from NASA JPL and Michelle Crames, CEO of Wran.gl discussed trends in social media and best practices. They both advised brands to know exactly what their brand stance is. "This is not the time for indecision, pick who you are and what you're about." Companies who are transparent and reinforce their brand identity are succeeding in the industry, an example of a brand that is crystal clear about their vision is Nike.
- 5. Enhance customer buying experiences
Tech breakthroughs create marketing opportunities, but which of these should be pursued? Brands don't want to risk spreading themselves too thin by chasing after trends that will not affect their bottom line. Brands should put an emphasis on using new technology to evolve core components of location marketing, increase engagement, and ease the path to purchase. Jeremy Born, Digital Strategy & Innovation Consultant, stresses that the future lies within personalization, and it is incredibly important to innovate with AI and machine learning.
- 6. Be an early adopter of new features
Kaci Cramer, SEO Specialist at Dicks Sporting Goods, captivated the audience when she spoke about her team's success when it came to Google Posts. Google Posts were introduced last year and enable you to announce upcoming events, show off new products and services, promote offers and share other information with your audience. By using Google Posts, her team was able to promote an offer that resulted in 900K impressions with a CTR of 4%. She encouraged the audience to jump on opportunities and test things out to see if it is relevant to their business.
- 7. Avoid misconceptions & myths around GMB
Jeremy McKenna, Digital Marketing Associate at Greystar, cleared up many misconceptions that companies believe when it comes to Google:
- You don't own your listings. Google owns your listings. You are just leasing the space from Google, they are the owner who reserve the right to do what they please.
- Maps are not perfect. Pay attention to pin placement.
- Things posted online is not instant, especially on Google. If you're doing listings management at scale, it can take a little bit more time for data to broaden out onto the web.
- 8. Don't just be present, make sure you stand out
Stephen Chen, Senior Product Manager of GMB for Google, talked about how GMB is designed to help businesses establish and complete their listings, to make their business stand out on search and maps. Brands can attract new customers by showcasing their unique value with photos, store hours, your website, and real-time updates. Stephen emphasizes that listings are also where customers learn about a business, leave reviews, and share pictures of their experiences. More of a reason to make sure your company stands out.
- 9. Don't be afraid of failure
Barry Moltz, Small Business Expert and author of "Letting Go", explained to the audience why he believes you'll be more successful when you begin to fail more. "Start honoring your failures." Learn from your mistakes, let go of them and start focusing, instead, on your success. He ended his presentation by saying, "The worst thing someone can do you to you is eat you."
- 10. Technology allows us the ability to create solutions
Wes Helms, IBM Watson Strategic Partnerships, showcases the different solutions that AI will be able to provide for businesses.
AI has the ability to:
- See every detail: detect fine grain detail in images with incredible accuracy
- Recognize signals vs. noise: Identify and pick out the most important information from a sea of data
- Comprehend the meta context: Comprehend and correctly answer questions by analyzing millions of words a second
- Master your domain: Understand the nuance of language and specific data of your industry, and continually gain expertise.
- Evaluate every possibility: Model scenarios, weigh multiple options and help you manage risks to choose the best path forward.
- Communicate without limits: Speak to people, systems and objects at any moment in a variety of languages, helping you act and respond faster.
- Tailor precise interactions: Adapt and evolve communications to engage with people on their terms
Overall, Brandify Summit was an amazing experience filled with phenomenal speakers and an engaged audience. We hope you were able to gain some valuable knowledge by reading our key takeaways and stay tuned for our next event in 2019!

"It's not fair to your teammates if you don't put your all into it." I could feel the heat spread across my cheeks. I was both humiliated and furious by the coach's words. How dare he accuse me of holding back, of not giving it my all, of being lazy? I poured more into my paddling than many on the team.
I was still fuming at the coach's accusations after practice. "That was totally uncalled for," I ranted to Joyce.
She chuckled. "I could tell from the back of the boat that you were really pissed off—the back of your neck got red, and your scars really stood out. They always do when you get upset."
I was so startled, my fury subsided almost instantaneously.
I felt vindicated.
Vindicated? About what?
Unlike a broken arm, brain injury is invisible. Some of us brain injury survivors have visible scars, others, like me, don't. I've only seen my scars in photos from shortly after the surgery, and from later, when my hair was buzzed. I can feel them, but for a few years, it wasn't really enough.
The intangible nature of the injury often leads to self-doubt among brain injury survivors. Am I imagining things? Am I malingering? Am I an attention seeker? Perhaps I'm just being lazy. Perhaps I'm not trying hard enough. It doesn't help that outsiders, not seeing any obvious signs or symptoms, often have trouble accepting that our difficulties are real.
Knowing that my scars were visible, at least when I was angry, validated the existence of my bloody injury. My difficulties were not imagined. My compromised balance was not a call for attention. My ADD issues and lousy short term memory were actual issues directly related to the surgeries. My post injury depression was not merely a sign of inadequacy on my part.
I was not a head case. Well...

You Complete Me
It was the one-liner in the movie Jerry Maguire that seemed to change the face of romance. When Tom Cruise looked into the eyes of Rene Zellweger and uttered, "You complete me," he brought a longing for all women, and men, to have those some words repeated to them. We all sat at the edge of our seats taking in the fulfillment of the moment. Yet, my question is do those words and that concept truly complete a relationship? Should we be looking for another to complete us? Or should we be on a quest to complete ourselves before putting such a burden on another?
My belief is for the latter. Each of us has unique qualities and characteristics that lead to our authenticity. While sharing the journey with another is one of the most beautiful experiences of life, our true essence deserves the chance to radiate. We each hold a gift within that the world can benefit from. What is your gift? Is it humor? Intelligence? Compassion? Art? A free spirit? Embrace the person you are. Embrace your imperfections. And find someone who will also accept you, the whole you.
A couple cannot be a complete unit if they bring fragments of each other to the relationship. Somewhere along the journey, the glue of love will unravel the pieces. It is a natural part of the process. But the two people can come together much stronger if each is responsible for their half. The power of that union will be able to withstand the passing of the storms and the grace of the love with solidarity.

Top Reasons To Construct An Annex
Posted on August 13, 2015 by
When you invest in an annex, not only are you making a positive change to your lifestyle; you will also increase the value of your property. Read more to see how an annex could affect you and your loved ones for the better.
Between 2013-2014, it was reported that moving an elderly person into a care home can cost, on average, anything between £28,500 to £37,500 per year. If you would like to care for an elderly relative at home, the average cost of regular visits from a professional carer is around £15 per hour, equalling £11,000 annually. Investing in an annex provides privacy and independence for your loved one, while still giving them the essential care they require.
As families grow and children turn into teenagers, you may find that your two bedroom house is beginning to feel cramped. The beauty of an annex is that it does not necessarily have to be attached to your home, it can simply be on your property. Whether your investment is used as an additional bedroom for the older adolescent or as a place for your younger ones to play Xbox with their friends; it is the perfect opportunity for you to enjoy the quiet with a nice cup of tea.
You could also use the additional space to practice a hobby of yours. Whether that is arts and crafts or a quiet area for your writing to really come to life – it is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of family life and delve into your own little world.
It is also the perfect place to have a home cinema or a small gathering. An annex opens up a whole host of entertainment opportunities. Whether that is enjoying a glass of wine with friends or watching the football in peace, where better to relax than on your own doorstep?
Nationwide Bank informs that investing in additional floor space can increase the value of your property by more than 10% It is also important to note that creating extra space by merging two rooms could have a detrimental effect on your properties value, leaving an annex as your most viable option. You don't necessarily need planning permission either, making the process easier than ever.
The service that we offer when creating unique timber buildings and extensions is one of precision and competence, so you can have faith that we will deliver a top quality result.

Meet The Hockers
Step inside the door of Australia's oldest and largest pawnshop and explore the secrets behind the people and items that come in to the shop. Aceben Pawnbroking in Sydney's CBD is run by Mike and his team; Pauly the resident prankster, Jess the country sweetheart, and Aaron the class clown. They encounter new customers trying to negotiate their way to the best deal, plus loads of cash, cars, and jewellery. It's an eye into a different part of the world as we find out what financial pinch the customers are in, how they got there, and what other quirky motives they have for cashing in their possessions.
From trash to treasure and hot items that can be a little too hot, you'll never know what's coming through the door! What is it about today? Two customers present with illegal or stolen items, another presents with an improbable story about a Bible stopping a bullet (disproved by staff) and a man called Bird who walks the streets with a black bird on his shoulder comes in to buy a gift for a friend in the USA.
Other stories include a woman learning the sacrifices her Grandmother must have made during The Great Depression and a glamorous woman adding to her jewellery collection. Strange but wonderful times indeed!

Final Homework for Jane
This is my final mixed media piece for Jane Davenport's Supplies Me class. This was a fantastic online course and I highly recommend Jane as a teacher. She is hysterical, practical, supportive, and has a wonderful teaching personality. Plus she makes great videos in faraway places--Paris, Portugal, Byron Bay, Australia where she lives and even in Bali where she was tagging along with her husband Angus on his surfing vacay. You can see pictures of her trip here. She loved her time there so much she plans to have an art retreat in the same location next year. Throughout this 8-week course, we traveled the world through Jane's wacky videos and learned a lot about how to use different supplies--she brought me way up on the learning curve. Yes, as my friend, Mindy, says, I have an art crush on Jane. Now if I can only persuade her to let us keep videos of the class. Love, love her music choices and playing the songs makes me very happy while painting.

Review: The Weight of Lies
For a "poor little rich girl" type character at the center of the story, I actually found Meg to be surprisingly likeable. She had made plenty of mistakes, and played the victim a lot, but there was an occasional down to earth vibe and enough self-awareness for me to want to root for her as she tried to dig up the dirt on her famous novelist mother.
The Weight of Lies, Emily Carpenter
Reformed party girl Meg Ashley leads a life of privilege, thanks to a bestselling horror novel her mother wrote decades ago. But Meg knows that the glow of their very public life hides a darker reality of lies, manipulation, and the heartbreak of her own solitary childhood. Desperate to break free of her mother, Meg accepts a proposal to write a scandalous, tell-all memoir.
Digging into the past—and her mother's cult classic—draws Meg to Bonny Island, Georgia, and an unusual woman said to be the inspiration for the book. At first island life seems idyllic, but as Meg starts to ask tough questions, disturbing revelations come to light…including some about her mother.
Soon Meg's search leads her to question the facts of a decades-old murder. She's warned to leave it alone, but as the lies pile up, Meg knows she's getting close to finding a murderer. When her own life is threatened, Meg realizes the darkness found in her mother's book is nothing compared to the chilling truth that lurks off the page.
I had a hell of a great time listening to this story even when I didn't entirely understand where the book was going, or what on earth was motivating each of these colorful but untrustworthy characters.
Any story where the reader is invited to contemplate the possibility of child killer, meaning a young child who kills another person, is a total fall down the rabbit hole for me. I'm always curious about what kind of mental issues have to be baked in for a child to be capable of something like that, and the fictional tale of "Kitten" threaded through the story in "The Weight of Lies" ratchets up the tension as you get pieces of the story side by side with the "current events" of the story.
I also have a terrible confession to make: There is a moment in the story when Meg laments the heartache she felt when she brought a problem to her mother and her mother seemingly brushed it aside because she needed to keep writing, to keep working on her latest project, and all I could think was, "I wish I had dedication like that!" My cat sneezes or something shiny attracts my attention and I am abandoning my writing so fast I leave actual cartoon puffs of air in my wake.
I recognize it's not healthy to lust after the work ethic of a flawed, narcissistic character, I'm just saying every reader brings their own stuff to the reading experience.
Maybe some of my incredible enjoyment of the story came from the narrator of the book, Kate Orsini, who did a fantastic job of turning Meg into a real person and not just a character.
The longer I reflect on the bonkerballs twists and turns and reveals, I have to imagine that much of her performance is what made the book at 4.25 star story for me, as opposed if I had read it, where it might have been more of a 3.75 star story for all the WTF moments that dealt with racism, cultural appropriation, cultural guilt, strange illnesses, and family drama coming out of every corner.
Overall, I had a great time listening and would recommend the book to anyone who needs a fun distraction while they're out walking, running errands, etc. It was compelling enough that I would just sit on my couch and listen sometimes, instead of reading the tactile books on hand.

We had such a great session and a once in a lifetime experience for these two little ballerinas. We chose this area as the girls are from out of town and thought it'd be a nice experience to show them a historical theater to tie in with their ballerina themed shoot. I don't want to go into too much detail here on how we got the access. But I will tell you that listening to your elder's stories often does pay off ;). If you want to see more of my work and keep up with what I have going on be sure to follow me on Facebook and Instagram . The highlight video for this session can be found here.

Happy Hump Day! My apologies for the brief blogging hiatus... Spring wardrobe fever is in full force and I'm barely keeping afloat during these past few weeks. Not to mention we have a major bathroom renovation happening {pictures coming soon!} and it's proving to be pretty time-consuming! But back to the stuff you care about...
Today I'm bringing you another spring essential -- the neutral tote. This could really be considered a year-round staple, but in the spring I like to go a bit lighter with my tote. For fall & winter a camel or tan color is ultra versatile, whereas in the spring and summer months I like to move to nude, or my personal preference, blush. When I found this beauty on sale at Banana Republic, I snagged it for under $100... and you can too! When shopping for the perfect tote, there are three things to consider :: SIZE, LINES & COLOR
{SIZE} It's the perfect size for anyone; from moms, to working girls, etc. The reason? Because all of us who need a laptop can throw it in and carry it, while also placing a smaller purse / clutch that you can easily remove for a quick lunch or errand without having the weight of your laptop. Moms, you can throw just about anything for yourself & your kids in there and it's easily spottable and accessible.
The photos are proof that this baby goes with EVERYTHING.
{LINES} The lines of this are so clean and classic; it looks upscale without the price tag. Choose clean and structured lines when choosing a tote; less structure and more give can look sloppy and less put-together.
{COLOR} Some blushes can be too pinky. This is the perfect neutral blush that won't clash with your gold / tan / nude. Never choose a neutral that is too pink or too orange.
The best part? It's your's for 40% off $139.99 {hurry while the sale lasts!}, ringing in at well under $100. Plus, it comes in Olive Green which you better believe I'm snatching up for fall!
SALE ALERT :: don't miss out on 50% OFF EVERYTHING at LOFT, IN STORES ONLY, TODAY only!

Yesterday I returned home from the 2014 Keystone Conference. It was a cold rainy day. On the way, I called my wife and I cried. I miss her and my daughter. And the final speaker at Keystone scared the hell out of me. I could lose my Daughter because of someone filled with Hate. There are enough Hate filled people in this commonwealth to keep me from Her (as there are enough hate filled people to elect people just as hateful, see the connection?). I'll detail THIS chain HERE.
But all of that was yesterday. Today was sunny and nice. My day started by stopping at Wife's workplace to get some money for doctor appointments. She saw my new hair style and paused for a heartbeat. You see, I was in my last remaining guy clothes to see her. A concession.
On my way back to the house, I received a phone call from work. They wanted me to come in Today instead of tomorrow, as one of the corporate directives was that Sophie NOT start on April Fools Day.
I had a therapist appointment at 12. I was to go into work directly after. When I arrived back at the house, it was 10:30 AM. I had an hour to get pretty. That included doing my hair. It wasn't enough, and I began panicking and making mistakes. I started losing it. Fortunately, I had the help of M and Linda, who kept me calm and away from a full blown panic attack. I was ready at 11:55. As it takes twenty minutes to get to Dr. Osborne's office, I was going to be late. I called her and we moved the appointment to tomorrow. I then relaxed a little. I had a little lunch. Then went to work.
I arrived at 1 PM, and sat in the parking lot for a bit, mustering my courage. Then I grabbed my purse,and took that long walk through the parking lot. The day before, I stopped in the store with Linda Lewis so I could be seen as a woman there for the first time. This time I was alone.
I clocked in at 1:25 and walked up to the music section where I'd spend the next eight hours. My fellow employees were so very supportive.
About three hours into the shift, I stopped dead in my tracks and looked down at myself. My name tag said "Sophie." I wasn't wearing a compression shirt, so my breasts stood out proudly. I was at work as ME. I thought to myself "this is really happening. This isn't a dream. I'm here at work as a woman!" And I couldn't wipe the smile from my face.
As the shift progressed, I did all of the usual things: I helped customers, answered the phone, and eventually went to the ladies room. No issues- no problems. During my breaks, I used my phone to check facialbook, and I saw so many affirming comments! Thanks to all those who posted!
The shift went quickly. It was a magical night. I called my "Big Sister" Mel to talk about it. When I arrived home, I found that my friend Michelle from Worcester, MA had called in a pizza order for me, and it was waiting. Thanks Michelle!
Mel was happy that I'd had a great day, but cautioned that this was only one day. Not all days would be like this. And she's right. Eventually, going into work as Sophie will be routine. I welcome that.
I wore a special necklace today to work. It is a silver butterfly, and it contains a small amount of Lisa Empanada's ashes. I don't wear this necklace often- only when I need her to be with me. Today I needed her strength. I needed to feel that she was there, helping.
I texted the above picture to Sandy Empanada. She wrote back "She's with you and me." And so she is.
But so are so many others. I am blessed to have Mel, Linda, and Ally in my life. I am blessed by M's generosity by opening her home to me. And I'm blessed and humbled by having so many people care about me.

The Blue View - Communicating with Hand Signals/
When we first started cruising, one of the things we discovered was that there was a frequent need to communicate with each other at a distance. This happened most frequently when we were dropping or raising the anchor, but also occurred when I went up the mast or when one of us was positioned at the bow trying to direct us through a narrow channel, or around hazards.
In the early days, the typical procedure for raising anchor was for Marcie to go forward to the bow and operate the windlass while I maneuvered Nine of Cups. It takes a little teamwork to get the anchor up, especially when we are in a crowded anchorage and the wind is blowing. The wind causes the chain to be taut, which in turns makes the windlass work harder. I try to motor slowly in the direction of the anchor to take the tension off the chain while Marcie brings in the slack. When all the slack chain has been taken in and we are directly over the anchor, depending on the bottom type, it sometimes takes some finesse to break the anchor free. When it does finally break free, I need to hold position while Marcie brings the anchor up enough to ensure we don't snag it on anything - like someone else's anchor rode or a more shallow spot. Once she has the anchor in view, I can begin maneuvering around the other boats while Marcie secures the anchor. During this process, Marcie may need me to stop while she knocks the pile of chain down or to clean the chain of mud, kelp or seaweed.
Through it all, Marcie and I need to communicate quite a bit of information. She needs to tell me when to motor forward, how fast and in what direction. She needs to tell me when to stop, when the anchor has broken free, and when it is in view. Our initial method of communicating was by shouting at each other. When the wind was blowing, the engine was on, and Marcie was facing away from me, she needed to shout REALLY LOUDLY for me to hear her. Even then, I didn't always hear what she said, so I would have to yell into the wind as LOUDLY as I could, asking her to repeat what she said. There are a whole number of reasons why this wasn't ideal. The number one reason is that when we were yelling at each other, even when we started out with the best of intentions, we both got irritated and then angry. Even when things did go well, we spent the next few hours being snippy with each other. The next biggest reason was that voices really carry over the water. Even if we couldn't understand what the other was saying, everyone else within a half mile could hear us yelling at each other. Sometimes, this would be a source of amusement for the other yachties, but more often I'm sure it was quite irritating, especially when we were trying to leave quietly at the break of dawn.
We thought about getting small portable radios or one of the wireless intercom systems. But in the end, we decided to devise our own system of hand signals for communicating with each other. We needed to be able to communicate each command using only one hand, and each signal must be clearly discernible to the other at a fair distance. These are the hand signals we use:
There have been a number of times when one of us was on the bow or part way up the mast to improve visibility while maneuvering around hazards. The atolls in the South Pacific which were often strewn with numerous uncharted coral heads are an example. We use all the same hand signals, but added one more to the list:
We have a few other hand signals we use occasionally that aren't actually documented. They translate roughly to the following:
"Uhh – sweetie, I think you may not have recognized my last 6 signals and you will be embarrassed to know that you have just run over the mooring ball..."
or, "Actually honey, I did see your last 6 hand signals, and while I found your last hand gesture quite endearing, you may not have noticed that the wind has piped up just a skosh ..."
and my favorite, "That was quite a humorous response, love. While pondering it, I thought of a new storage location for the boathook I'm holding..."

Are you going to be traveling to Melbourne this year? Are you the type of person that enjoys visiting local nightclubs and bars? You may want to consider rooftop bars this time around. It's a great way to see the beautiful countryside and cities that will surround you. Many people enjoy this, more so than traditional bars and pubs. To find the best ones that are available, The Roof Top Guide will lead you to a couple of the top rooftop bars in Melbourne.
Should This Be On Your To Do List?
Going to rooftop bars ought to be on your to-do list when you arrive in Melbourne if you really want to relax. The view is fantastic, one that may not be accessible to most people that do not have a drone or that cannot fly an airplane. Essentially, it gives you a unique view and perspective of Melbourne from a much higher vantage point than the ground floor of the city.
The Three Main Benefits Of Visiting A Rooftop Bar
The first benefit of going to one of these rooftop bars is that it affords you a view you cannot get anywhere else. The only way to come closest to look outside of your hotel room, but there's nothing quite like being on the top of the building. Most of these are converted penthouses, designed to provide this unique atmosphere where people can mingle and also take in all of the natural surroundings. The second reason that you should use a rooftop bar is that you will often get drinks that are not found anywhere else in the city. Finally, if you are bringing a significant other, there are very few places that are as romantic as the top of the building. This combination of alcoholic beverages and a great view make rooftop bars highly coveted by those that are visiting the Melbourne area.
What Are A Few Of The Top Rooftop Bars In Melbourne?
At the top of the list is a place that is simply referred to as Rooftop Bar. The name says all that it really needs to convey. It is located in Melbourne and is perfect for casuals, groups, all of which will enjoy their fantastic cocktails. The second one is called the Bomba Tapas Bar which is also situated on a rooftop in Melbourne. There is outdoor seating, happy hour food, and fantastic cocktails that you can get anywhere else. Finally, there is the Loop Roof. This is a great casual place for people that like a cozy location. They have fantastic cocktails, and if you are visiting with someone that you love, it will make the night even more special.
There are many other rooftop bars that you may want to consider visiting in Melbourne including Siglo, Madame Brussels, and many others. The primary reason that people will spend their time there because they can mingle with people that are also going to see these fantastic views. Once you have had a few drinks, you will start to enjoy everything so much more. As night falls, you can see the city begin to light up all around you. This is an experience that cannot be had unless you travel to Melbourne and decide to go to these unique rooftop destinations.

Is It Time for a Do-Over?
Spring has finally arrived here in Michigan! Our lawns are green again, the trees are budding out and early spring flowers seem to be popping up everywhere.
While the end of 2015 was a highly productive time for me personally, I didn't accomplish as much as I would have liked in January or February of 2016. I have decided to be okay with that. By mid-March I started to get back into the swing of things.
Here's the thing, we can always have a "do-over" and start fresh. We do not have to wait for another January 1st to roll around, or a new season, or our birthday. As long as we are breathing, we can start fresh now. Yes, now.
I would love to know your intentions for this spring! Please comment below.

Happy 40 to my boy Matthias Schoenaerts today! I was going to say "funny enough I just re-watched A Bigger Splash this past weekend" but given all the Luca Guadagnino I been living I don't think any of you would be surprised enough to find that funny. (I also watched I Am Love the weekend before. I'm out of control!!!) Aaaanyway Matthias has a heap of projects lined up (because of course he does, as well he should)...
... but the ones I am probably most looking forward to are his re-teaming with his Far From the Madding World director Thomas Vinterberg called Kursk (read about it here) and then the one where he plays a drummer (because that will be hot) opposite his Splash co-star Dakota Johnson. I'd love to see him work with Luca again but they don't seem to have bonded the way Luca bonded with Armie & Timothee on Call Me By Your Name - if you look at pictures from the Splash tour Matthias always looks kind of uncomfortable and off to the side. Hmm.

The coach at SW was definitely a good hire. He seems to have changed the culture there in a short time.
The coach at SW was definitely a good hire. He seems to have changed the culture there in a short time.
Upper Iowa has parted ways with head coach Micha Thompson effective immediately. Separation was mutual per the release. Associate Head Coach Kelly Kielsmeier will serve as interim head coach for the remainder of the season.
Thompson was in her third year at UIU and was 9-63 overall and 4-48 in NSIC play. The Peacocks are currently in the midst of a 32-game league losing streak.
UIU's women's team has been at or near the bottom of the conference for a long time. Probably time to give someone else a chance to see if they can turn the program around.
Zimm confirms what has been feared since Shelby went down in Marshall on Friday....shes likely done for the year/career.
The way Krauthketball was rolling pre-injury is now a thing of the past as this dramatically changes the conference and regional landscape.
I was told his previous head coaching experience went badly at the Junior college level. He always seemed like the "good" cop versus "bad" cop brother when at WSC.
He comes to WSC Saturday.
I believe he quite a few Wayne friends and they will be glad to see him as a head coach!!
Ten years already?
Some great memories of the team and season. Seeing them come from behind in the national championship game late and winning was amazing.
Bemidji women leading Moorhead late...wow! Pulling for you coach Deville
Sioux Falls takes down the Mavs tonight in Mankato.
Joey Batt from New Ulm has scored her 2000th point. She has signed with the Mavs next year.
In case anyone is getting overly concerned, the coach hugging her is her dad.
She apparently is quite a player, and I hope she can help the Mav women's team during her collegiate career. It's good to get athletes that can play at the D2 level from close to Mankato.
Mavs lose to UMD in OT 72-66.
