GDPR is the current "hot topic", as the November 2017 Journal clearly evidenced. Firms are having to take a fresh look at what data they store and how it is managed and monitored. Firms of all sizes will have to get to grips with a more onerous data protection regime. One aspect of this that we, at Lockton, have received a number of queries on, is the impact of GDPR on document retention policies.
Many firms will already have a document retention policy, but the chances are that, if it has not been updated for some time, it may not be quite as broad as it needs to be. The Law Society of Scotland has for some years provided guidance on the ownership and destruction of files. The data protection regime now goes somewhat further, and firms should be considering a policy that addresses data storage/retention in the round, including:
Paper is not necessarily either more or less secure than electronic data, but it must not be forgotten when you consider implementing changes in readiness for GDPR. Your paper-based data are also subject to many of the new regulations. These data also have their own particular risk issues.
These days, with the advent of quality cameras in smartphones, and email-enabled scanners, taking a sneaky copy of a document is a far less risky form of information theft.
There is no doubt that, for many of us, reading a hard copy document while travelling remains easier and more reliable than trying to access documents online. While portable devices, if properly set up, are encrypted and can be remotely wiped, the same cannot be said for paper files left on a train.
Documents still get lost between the office and archives, and, in case of fire and flood, can be destroyed entirely.
There are no hard and fast rules for client document retention, and GDPR does not alter the current framework in that regard. However, the preparation for GDPR does provide a good opportunity to review your current arrangements. Where many firms could benefit is from a re-evaluation of their procedures for identifying and managing documents/data that should now be destroyed or deleted.
Article 5 of GDPR provides:
"Personal data must be kept in a form that permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed.
"Personal data may be stored for longer periods insofar as the data will be processed solely for archiving purposes in the public interest, or scientific, historical, or statistical purposes in accordance with article 89(1) and subject to the implementation of appropriate safeguards."
This needs to be balanced against your need to retain information for long enough to provide material for an adequate defence in the event of a claim. The prescriptive period in Scotland for a professional indemnity claim is five years from the date that the claimant became aware (or could reasonably have become aware) of sustaining a loss (David T Morrison & Co Ltd v ICL Plastics [2014] UKSC 48). This of course does not mean a blanket destruction date of five years from closing a file. Claims typically emerge much more quickly when emanating from litigation matters.
The Law Society of Scotland's guidance on retention of documents (see summary opposite) – which we understand is likely to be updated in the course of 2018 – still provides a useful rule of thumb, although firms should consider their own circumstances when determining timescales for destruction. While the GDPR does forefront the rights of data subjects, as long as you can properly explain why you process the data and have set a fair retention period, the firm's legitimate interests should be respected – assuming you have implemented sufficient measures to protect the data.
Whatever your policy determines, you should ensure that your letter of engagement explains clearly:
Having a meaningful policy on data retention and destruction is one thing. Ensuring that it is implemented in practice is quite another.
Employing someone to go through file records and notifying fee earners when a data retention period has expired is costly, time-consuming and also does not guarantee that the information is acted on by a busy fee earner. An alternative approach, that electronic documents are automatically permanently deleted after the retention period has expired, is also problematic.
Complying with data destruction policies where hard copy documentation is concerned is more difficult again – thus the incentive for many firms to move to online storage.
On completion, i.e. after the time for appeal has elapsed

hmm looking closer it seems like all the links in the Time article are from 2014, but the piece does say it happened this Monday. and no one else besides some Pakistan wire service is carrying the story. so maybe just a Time fuckup?

Both observant Jews, under kashrut laws and Muslims, under halal laws, will not eat meat unless the animal has been killed with a single slice to the neck, with the intention to minimize its pain.
fwiw, this is not remotely true in the UK where the vast majority of halal meat is pre-stunned despite there being no laws to require it.
― I wear my Redditor loathing with pride (ShariVari), Wednesday, 29 July 2015 20:25 (four years ago) link
idk how halal meat works but it's definitely true that shechita requires the single slice across the neck (iirc where the windpipe is?)
― Mordy, Wednesday, 29 July 2015 20:28 (four years ago) link
I've seen several videos of animals struggling for the better part of a minute after (perhaps botched) kosher or halal slaughter. Consciousness likely continues for some time even after the loss of blood pressure (Dr. Beaurieux and the guillotined Languille, etc).
― Pauper Management Improved (Sanpaku), Wednesday, 29 July 2015 20:33 (four years ago) link
oh no doubt, animal slaughter is not for the weak of stomach. have you ever seen a chicken after it has been decapitated?
― Mordy, Wednesday, 29 July 2015 20:42 (four years ago) link
Actually, I'm pretty sure parliament is on vacation, so I don't think it even could pass a ban of this kind right now.
The debate about halal/kosher eating is definitely interesting and jerksy, though. At the latest citizenship day, where all the people who got Danish citizenship came to the parliament, the Danish Peoples Party demonstratively only served pork to them. They're also constantly talking about how important it is that every official institution MUST serve pork for dinner, and that nobody should be able to opt out. Being Danish is eating pork.
I know a guy who used to be a farmer. He told me that 1) all halal meat is pre-stunned in Denmark and 2) all meat is slaughtered halal, since doing two types of slaughtering would be bad for costs. Only difference is specifik halal is done with a prayer first. This of course doesn't stop people demanding that halal meat be banned from public institutions, because of animal welfare.
If that is true, but if kosher is done without pre-stunning, then this story would be pretty ironic, since you bet that the point of such a law would be to do something against islam and muslims. Jews are just collateral damage. And further irony: It's usually the same people who are most against anti-semitism when it seems that it is muslim immigrants who are perpetrating it, who are most willing to make laws against Jewish practice if it can be sold as being against muslim immigrants. They are very bad allies.
And jerks.

it's a similar thing w/ intactivists as well right? a lot of them in europe - my impression is - are mostly against islamic circumcision? or rather against circumcision but they're the types of ppl who one would likely think are motivated primarily by anti-islamic bias and not antisemitism? (obv there is a lot of antisemitism as well like that comic book about the evil circumcising rabbis)
― Mordy, Wednesday, 29 July 2015 21:10 (four years ago) link
Yeah, circumsision is another interesting one. It's often focused only on female circumcision used a lot for anti-islamic purposes. But at times I get the feeling it runs into another barrier of jerksism, which is that some people can't stand fighting solely for the good of women, and their misogyny wins out over their islamophobia, so they begin equating Jewish male circumcision with Islamic female circumcision. Which seems bizarre to me, whatever one thinks of the dangers of male circumcision. And also left-wing anti-semitism, I think, where it becomes a jerkish way of fighting Islamophobia to try and paint Judaism as badly as possible, to make Islam look better by comparison. Jerks on all sides.

Denmark Plans to Isolate Unwanted Migrants on a Small Island

I guess this is the most-current Denmark thread, lol
yeah that's obviously not the brightest idea of all time but it's not as if the people affected are much better off atm - they're officially deported but cannot be sent home since they risk torture/death penalty, in the end they choose to stay in Denmark but they are not allowed to work/marry/vote, they have to register at local asylum centers daily and they hardly have any income...
some evil motherfuckers among them for sure, terrorists and war criminals, but feel bad for the rejected asylum seekers (I also understand the necessity of being able to reject some asylum seekers)
― niels, Wednesday, 5 December 2018 21:55 (eight months ago) link
There's a rolling Danish politics thread, just for this :) And it's complete bullshit, they're spending something like 300.000$ per asylum seeker so that they can say they've send them to a small island. Politicians crowing about how horrible they've been to people of color. That's Denmark.

The Real Story
What could be more significant than the moment in my car this morning, a quarter mile from my work parking lot, when I lost composure and sobbed for as long as I would let myself, about sixty seconds. I was hearing, on the radio, about all of the black artists who weren't nominated for Oscars. And the black director who redirected protests toward talks with the Academy.
I am now remembering the truth about a different day, maybe 15 years ago, in a conference held by the Hurston-Wright Foundation. It was in its infancy, this conference, and I was one of only two white people in my creative nonfiction workshop. One of my classmates, among other remarkable women, was Medgar Evers' cousin. And another was a white woman confused about what her story was. She'd been in an affair with the black man who was the home health aide to her quadriplegic husband, and she'd come to the workshop to share her writing about her lover, profoundly unclear about the racist characterizations she was throwing around.
The rest of the class, all brilliant and strong women with their own stories, told her the truth about her writing. It wasn't just racist, it wasn't true. It wasn't the real story.
This woman's heart was broken by the road cycling accident that severed her husband's spine, and she wasn't writing about it. The rest of the class worked their own ways past her offensiveness to the truth. I did what I could, but mostly watched them take the weapon out of her hand, while making clear it was a weapon, and counseled her successfully toward writing something real.

Address to E Commerce Code of Conduct Stakeholders
Hon Phillida Bunkle
Minister of Consumer Affairs
Address to E Commerce Code of Conduct
Centra Hotel
8 June 2000
Good morning and welcome! I have invited you here today to discuss an important topic – consumer protection in electronic commerce.
It will probably come as no surprise to you that I would ideally like to see appropriate measures put in place to ensure consumers have confidence in the electronic environment. This is important as New Zealand, and the world, moves towards an increasingly electronic-focussed society.
For now, I don't know that consumers have that confidence and it's important that we - both government and industry - address this. Next week, a comprehensive e-commerce package will be announced in the Budget. One of the elements of the e-commerce package will include funding of $400,000 spread over the next four years to specifically address consumer issues in e-commerce. The government recognises the importance of keeping consumer issues at the forefront of policy-making decisions in this growing area of commerce.
This funding will ensure a dedicated consumer focus in e-commerce through employing someone specifically to work with other government agencies, business and community sectors to ensure issues are properly represented in development of government electronic commerce policy.
A key part of ensuring consumer protection in this area is making sure our work is linked to international developments including development at the OECD and APEC.
So, with that in mind, consumers will have confidence when they are satisfied with four key areas.
Knowing clearly who they are dealing with and what they are
Security of Information
Ability to solve any problems quickly and fairly.
Although I didn't need to invite you here to tell you this.
It is hardly possible to read an article or hear a news report about business to consumer electronic commerce without seeing references to these basic points.
And while it may seem that these issues are largely raised by consumer advocates, representatives or individuals, they are in fact more often than not, raised by businesses themselves.
We here in this room would all recognise the importance of appropriate consumer protection mechanisms. Consumer protection is good for the consumer, and business, alike. However, knowing that something is good and worthwhile is sometimes not enough.
This knowledge needs to be reinforced by action. Right now, we are seeking to do this by developing and implementing consumer protection that will build consumer confidence and support e-commerce as a business-to-consumer model.
Today is an important part of the developing stage – gathering your thoughts, your ideas, your criticisms, your fears, and your enthusiasm.
My Ministry released a report on Electronic Commerce in March this year that proposed a New Zealand Model Code of for Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce.
As you will be aware, any action we take in New Zealand is limited to domestic transactions. However, the principles and standards in this Code draw heavily - as it should - on recently developed OECD guidelines. The Code is essentially the same as one announced in Australia recently.
Obviously this means that action in New Zealand needs to be consistent with and support international developments that will ensure the growth of consumer confidence on a global scale. The budget funding I alluded to earlier will go towards ensuring this happens.
Keith Manch will take you through some aspects of the Ministry's paper and the issues it raises shortly.
There are however, some issues I want to raise.
Prior to agreeing to the release of the report I discussed with my officials whether a self-regulatory approach would be sufficient to ensure that consumer interests are being protected. This discussion highlighted various issues that are referred to in the report. The first point is that:
E-commerce is still relatively new and as we all know, consumer-to-business e-commerce is much less significant than business-to-business e-commerce.
To me this means that we now have the opportunity to put in place something that will set appropriate standards for consumer protection while at the same time, support the development of e-commerce.
Other points are:
domestic law
already applies to electronic commerce transactions that
occur within New Zealand. An electronic transaction bill
will be introduced this year to ensure that we harmonise the
law relating to paper-based and electronic-based commerce.
Issues around electronic transactions conducted across the
border are more complex. These need to be addressed
E-commerce is fast developing
Business has strong incentives to ensure that consumers do have confidence
E-commerce is global
These points are said to support the idea that self-regulation may be the way to go. Indeed, I have even been told that regulation for consumer protection in e-commerce is unnecessary, difficult to design, costly to administer and may restrict e-commerce development.
Frankly, I am not sure that I personally accept all of this.
What I do know is that as the Minister of Consumer Affairs I am determined that consumers should be given appropriate protection whether they are shopping in traditional "bricks and mortar", "clicks and mortar" or "pure Internet" businesses. I urge you and your businesses to embrace the opportunity to get a self-regulatory scheme right from the start.
I certainly hope that this meeting is productive in setting in place some good consumer protection mechanisms.

Jungle Stay in Sayan
The last time I was in Bali was almost eight years ago and I was really excited to revisit this beautiful island. We spent two nights at the Four Seasons in Sayan this weekend and stayed in villa 16 with a beautiful view of the riverfront. I had no idea at how large the entire property was until we were escorted to our villa via a golf buggy.
As the golf buggy pulled up at our villa I was gobsmacked at the size of the room which was bigger than my entire apartment back in Sydney (well, almost). Four Seasons Sayan is also located in close proximity to the city centre where you can catch a free shuttle from the hotel and rent your own scooter for $7 a day. I also really enjoyed the river rafting and activity schedule at the hotel.
I'd highly recommend staying here if you're looking for a secluded getaway for a quick weekend. Nestled amongst all the green foliage is a piece of paradise!

John 10:27-New Living Translation (NLT)
27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
During the beginning of the week, our mission's leader Colby Gardner gave us a challenge that would require us to practice Listening Prayer. You can begin by reading scripture and then ask the Lord to speak to you through it. If you have a question that you want to ask God, you simply ask it and then listen for the answer. The question Colby asked us was to ask God for a word of encouragement that we would give someone that week. God could speak to us through scripture, show us a vision, a color, give us a name, etc. We were to quiet our minds and wait for God to speak. Quieting my mind can be so difficult at times. Yet in Cuba we were without the distractions of work, and technology. It was in this moment where I heard the voice of God speak clearly as day, "you shall live and not die." This was followed by a vision of bright blue colors and a name beginning with the letter "D."
I began to do like most of us when we receive or hear the voice of God. I questioned its authenticity, "Is this you God or was this me?" The words, "You shall live and not die" continued to echo in my head. I decided at that moment to trust God and believe that He would reveal its purpose during the week.
It was our last day of street evangelism with the pastors we were serving with and I still had not felt the need to share this word with anyone. "Maybe it was to be encouragement for someone back at home," were my thoughts. This was until I met Delores. Wow, "that's my mother in law's name," I exclaimed. "Is there anything I can pray for you about?" Delores began to tell us about her upcoming serious surgery. It was at that moment, I noticed that she was wearing a bright blue bra under her white shirt, and a blue classic Chevy in the background. I had peace in that moment of confirmation. I knew the Lord wanted me to tell her to be encouraged, that she would live and not die. I let her know that God loved her and that she had no reason to fear.
I don't know what happened to Delores after that day, but I do know that she is ok. This week in Cuba reminded me that God is always speaking, and that I must tune out the distractions and listen. He speaks in many different ways and we aren't to limit Him.

Geometridae » Ennominae
One would be forgiven for thinking this is a butterfly. This is a large pale lemon moth with distinctive pointed hindwings with two reddish-brown spots on the bases. There are darker cross-lines on the forewings and hindwings. The colours fade as it gets older and it becomes whiter. Wingspan 40 to 50mm.
The adult flies June to mid-August. It is attracted to light, and is found in woodland, hedgerows, parks and gardens. A fairly common and widespread species. The larva feeds on various broadleaved trees and shrubs.

Leirim County Council
Cllr Finola Armstrong-McGuire calls for toilet facilities to be opened along Blueway
At last Monday's meeting of Carrick-on-Shannon Municipal District Cllr Finola Armstrong-McGuire raised the issue of toilet facilities along the Blueway.
In her motion Cllr Armstrong-McGuire stated, "I ask that Leitrim County Council take steps to improve facilities at the Leitrim to Drumshanbo Blueway by opening and operating toilet facilities all year round."
Addressing the monthly meeting Cllr Armstrong-McGuire elaborated on the importance of having these facilities available to the public.
"The Blueway is a hugely used facility, we have to provide some facilities. They are there, built. It is an employment opportunity for someone."
Backing the motion Cllr Sinead Guckian expressed the view that the Blueway will become busy all year round saying, "I think it is going to be a popular walkway."
Cllr Sean McGowan also offered his support saying, "It's not a lot to ask for. The Blueway is absolutely fantastic."
Cllr Des Guckian said this was an issue he raised some time back saying, "I said to the then County Manager that there was a need for proper facilities."
Cllr Guckian expressed the view that the Blueway will not attract the same volume of walkers during the months asking, "Would rudimentary facilities be ok for emergencies?"
Reiterating her point that the provision of better facilities could also lead to employment opportunities Cllr Armstrong-McGuire added, "It's two part time jobs I am looking for. It is not reasonable to expect people to walk for miles and there are no toilets at the end."
The meeting heard the matter raised is a matter for Waterways Ireland and it will be brought to their attention.

To celebrate our 20th installment of BulletCast, we bring you LA native, Margot LOX. She began her career in music as a DJ before making the move to Germany. Now Margot is making the next step in her career by attending music production school and immersing herself in a peer-heavy city, Berlin.
Journey with us as she weaves the story of living a corporate life, to a dream of the road less traveled which led to music and creativity. This is a road that few are willing to venture down. Let her story ignite the spark inside of you and maybe even push you to take the jump yourself.
Tell us about this recent move to Berlin. You started out in LA, where your roots and family still are, but made this big move. What inspired this move and what kind of path has it forged in your career?
I spent the last two summers in Berlin and I fell completely in love with the city, the vibe, the culture. After a few years of traveling I decided that it was time to settle down somewhere and Berlin seemed like a very natural choice, not just in terms of music, but the city itself is a great place to live and of course it is the mecca of all things techno and house music, so it seemed like the perfect move to make. It has allowed me to focus more on production and be in a city full of peers and people that I look up to in the music scene. At the moment I'm just working on Production, I'm actually going to Music Production school here and trying to get my feet wet with that. Hopefully from there I will be able to work on a one on one basis with my friends here, work in their studios and learn from them, and hopefully have some music out this year.
Has the move to a new culture and being around your peers shifted where you thought you would have been a year or two ago?
Yes, definitely. With all the traveling and focusing on DJing, I kind of felt like I wanted to take it to the next level. And now that I have done the DJing part, I am hungry for more. I want to get more involved in making music. It's very interesting because once you start thinking with a Production mind, you start dissecting every little track and have all these thoughts and ideas of what you want to turn into music, so now I am trying to figure out technically how I am going to do that.
You do have a personal motto. If anyone follows you on social media, they know that you have created a motto of "Woke Up Smiling." Has this gone into how you do make your music?
With 'woke up smiling' it started out as more of a travel-based thing for me. I actually came up with the name because as soon as I quit the corporate life and started traveling I started sleeping a lot more and started to wake up smiling. So it was a natural name to start this blog that has since evolved into a person motto that translates into my daily life, whether it's music or family or friends. And it's been really cool, there are people that will reach out to me and say 'Can I use this hashtag' or 'I love this idea and the name.' I like having something that affects people positively. It was really a special feeling to experience this waking up smiling more than once and I just try to strive for that and hope to get it on a regular basis.
Now that you have made that shift from the corporate world to making a full-time career in music, and as someone who is still in the midst of that transition, what is one piece of advice you can give to someone who is also at this point?
Well, I can always offer lots of advice, but everyone's situation is different. For me it was such a natural move. You have to really decide what's important to you, what are your priorities. If you want to work on music, then work on music. If you want to hustle and make money, then maybe you should stick around in the corporate world because the music business is not the easiest to get into, and you certainly not easy to make money.
My advice is to make your decisions based on what you want to do, what your heart wants and not what society tells you to do. That you need to have a nice car, a nice house, nice things. What's really important to you? For me it was being with family, traveling, exploring the creative side that I never knew I had. As cliche and silly as it sounds, just follow your heart. And if it doesn't work out and everything fails, you can always do something else. I think it's better to keep moving forward than to stay in one place hoping for a change. Only you can make that change, so you have to decide what you want to do. Just do it. Actually one of my favorite quotes is, "Just jump and figure out how to fly on the way down."
Every day I don't know what challenges I'm going to have to face, so I just saw screw it, I jump and figure it out on the way.
Now that you are in the studio producing, can you tell us about some upcoming projects or upcoming gigs?
Well, at the moment, I will actually be playing a gig in Berlin at a place called F-Club with my friends who throw a weekly party. This will be my third time playing with them, I'm very much looking forward to that. Berlin has a great vibe and scene, people come to dance, they come completely for the music and are a very educated crowd, which is always very fun to play for, lots of exchange of energy back and forth. And I am currently in Production school now so I'm focusing on getting a good foundation so that I can get some solid building block below me. And from there collaborating with friends.

Team Bike Doctor had a great weekend of racing racking up some good results and even better times.
On Sunday at The Bunny Hop Criterium in Suitland, Maryland, Bike Doctor represented in the Masters 35 race being aggressive launching riders in breaks one after the other until one finally stuck at the end. Scott Giles slipped off the front with about five kilometers to go soloing away to for Bike Doctor's first victory of the year with the money shot. No one in sight.
Pete Warner also grabbed a preme and 8th place. The rest of the guys represented the front of the race countering and covering moves all day long.
In the Masters 3/4 race, Steve Fife represented the move of the day and placed 5th in a 7 man break. With a few top sprinters in the move, including Jose "no no upgrade" Nunez, we were rooting for Steve to pull out some magic tricks. Robb Hampton charged the field and took 2nd in the field sprint for 9th place and took a preme of his own earlier. The rest of the crew were victims of the carnage on the course.
The guys also represented the 1/2/3 race but tired legs, crashes, and other superfast maniacs took chances of racking up more results.
Meanwhile, Sunny Gill made a solo trip up north to The Tour of Eprhata. Sunny, off the heals from several great results at Sea Otter Classic in California, kept the momentum going in the Men's 3/4 race. After getting dropped from the break in the road race, Sunny used smart tactics and was able to place 5th putting him in great position for the overall. The next day, Sunny took to the Mt. Pain Time Trial and landed 14th. Knowing he needed a result in the afternoon's criterium, Sunny again used his strength and tactics to his advantage and placed 5th netting him 7th overall for the weekend. Congrats to Sunny for a great weekend.
The team looks forward to Fort Ritchie, Turkey Hill, and the Deep Blue Time Trial next week.

BoostBlitz Fundraiser FAQ
What is BoostBlitz?
BoostBlitz is a systematic fundraising program and process that harnesses the power of personal connections and social media and marries it with the convenience of online giving. In short, use technology instead of door knocking to raise money! No more cookie dough!
How does the system and process work?
Students will utilize a personal web site to identify, contact, and ask for donations from family members and friends near and far.
The Blitz is a 6 step process outlined below:
Contacts are entered into a secure personal BackStage site.
Students attend the Blitz event and ask for donations.
The public facing donation web page goes live.
Parents & students post a link to the donation site on social media.
Intelligent system generated text or email reminders are sent.
6 weeks after the Blitz the fundraiser ends.
How do the students enter contacts?
The students will receive a secure link to their personal easy-to-use online form called "BackStage". Students are asked to enter a minimum of 7 contacts to talk to on the phone, 15 contacts to text message, and 10 or more email contacts.
I do not know that many people who should I include?
Think of your social networks as concentric circles:
- The inner circle is close friends and family members who know your student well. Target this group to be the people the student calls on the day of the blitz.
- The middle circle includes work friends, casual acquaintances, former students. This is the group to send text messages.
- The outer circle includes everyone else, Your entire contacts book! This is your email contacts.
The students have received step-by-step instruction on how to enter contacts during class.
What happens during the Blitz event?
After chowing down on some pizza and the students will call and text the people on their list to ask for a commitment of support. When the student receives a commitment or "pledge", they will send them a text message with a link to our fundraising page, or Blitz page, where they can make an online donation.
The Blitz is a purposely loud and chaotic event where all the students are blitzing together to encourage friendly competition.
How long is the Blitz event?
1.5 hours max. 30 minutes for feeding and instructions and then 40-60 minutes of actual blitz time.
What is the fundraising goal?
We are asking each student to set a personal goal of $350 (or 14 donations of $25). If every student reaches the individual goal, our combined efforts will generate far more than our overall $30,000 goal for this fundraiser.
What is the money for?
- Wireless headset mics $6,000.00
- Wireless Speaker for UIL $3,500.00 (UIL only allows 7 minutes to get on and off stage if we have cords that is difficult to accomplish)
- Wood for set building $3,000.00
- Production licensing fees $3,000
- Costumes $6,000.00
- Make-up Trolley $700.00
- Stage Make-up $1,500
- Building tools and safety supplies $1,500
- Lighting LED's $2,000
- Paint/stain $1,000
- Thespians kids that can't afford to go: $3,000 we have to upfront the costs for

Though not technically on the national endangered species list yet, the tufted puffin (Fratercula cirrhata) is listed as endangered specifically in Washington State thanks to work done in 2010 by our partners at the SeaDoc Society and friends from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. From this joint effort, a proposal to have them nationally listed was submitted and is currently under review by the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service.
According to a report by the WDFW in 2012, in the early 1900s tufted puffins commonly inhabited the San Juan Islands and Washington's outer coastline. Their numbers were estimated at 44 colonies and more than 25,000 individuals. Today, it's estimated only 19 colonies still exist comprised of approximately 3000 individuals and they are located almost exclusively on the outer coast.
Bycatch in fishing gear and impacts from introduced species are two possible causes of the tufted puffin's decline. SR3 is committed to helping restore the Salish Sea to a healthy vibrant ecosystem that includes these incredible birds! We look forward to working with our partners to support the recovery efforts.
Here is more information on the status of the tufted puffin:

Retirement should a wonderful time in your life where you get to sit back and enjoy life, travel and take up those hobbies you have not had a chance to do, yet when you consider the facts below retirement can seem rather daunting.
- Only 53% of couples and 22% of single people are on track to achieve a comfortable level of retirement income, according to an in-depth study of the adequacy of retirement savings
- The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) today released the highest life expectancy estimates ever recorded in Australia, with many people easily living 20 years after they retire at 65.
- A global survey of people's attitudes to retirement savings shows while Australians expect to spend over 20 years in retirement, their money will run out after only just 10 years, leaving them on the age pension.
- For most people, superannuation is not sufficient to fund a comfortable retirement, even if they have contributed to superannuation for most of their working lives.
Retirement planning is not a set and forget process
To ensure that you maximise your income in retirement it is essential that you carefully manage and monitor your retirement plan, which should include more than just a simple pension. By investing and generating an income from several sources you can maximize the amount you have to live on in retirement and minimize the risk of being effected by changing market conditions.
It's worth reassessing your retirement plans regularly
Obviously the earlier you start preparing for retirement, the more options you have to set a course that suits you. However it's never too late to boost your retirement income and there are actions that you can take no matter what your age. The important thing is to take action now and speak to a qualified financial advisor who can review your individual situation and come up with a tailored strategy that will work for you both now and in the future. You can then consider how you can use different income sources to fund different stages of your retirement.
Take action now to maximize the impact of your retirement planning
I can help you identify how much you need in retirement to enjoy a good standard of living. I can help you formulate a plan and then identify the very best ways to achieve your goals. I am not tied to any single investment company or bank so will consider your situation and then identify the best products on the market to maximise your wealth in retirement.
We can look at a full range of wealth creation vehicles such so that you can maximise your retirement income. With many retirees living up to 90 and beyond, it's a good idea to invest at least some of your money in assets that will grow over time, like shares and property. This will help ensure your capital will grow in value to keep pace with inflation and your income needs.
Don't risk going it alone, two heads are always better than one!
Trying to figure out whether you can afford to retire is like putting together pieces of a financial jigsaw puzzle. First, you need to estimate how much you'll spend in retirement. Then you must consider the income you'll collect in retirement from pensions and Social Security – as well as the amount you can afford to draw from your personal savings or other sources. This is why speaking to an expert can make the picture a whole lot simpler. Not only can we help you identify the best mixture of products we can find you the very best products offered on the market that will suit you and your personal situation.

Spacious: Dudley House has been knocked into one giant property with 17 bedrooms and 14 reception rooms, making it Britain's priciest property
Qatar's royal family have renovated what could turn out to be Britain's most valuable private residence - after lavishing millions of pounds on a grade II-listed mansion now worth £200m.
Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the emir of Qatar, has spent tens of millions on Dudley House in London's Park Lane since acquiring the sprawling property for £37.4m in 2006.
Now after extensively renovating the 185-year-old mansion, which boasts views stunning views across Hyde Park in central London, the gulf state royal is on the verge of turning the house into Britain's priciest property.
Dudley House boasts a 50ft ballroom, an 81ft picture gallery and furniture which on its own is said to be worth £100m.
It boasts an enormous 44,000 sq ft of space and has undergone a £75m renovation which involved knocking three original properties on the Dudley House estate into a giant mansion.
A property website carrying details of Dudley House stated that renovation will give the 19th-century property 17 bedrooms and 14 reception rooms.
A property expert who recently visited Dudley House told the paper that should it go on the market, the Park Lane property could fetch up to £250m.
Money to burn: Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, emir of Qatar bought the property thanks to his personal wealth of around £1.5bn
'The ceilings are ornate and very high, although these have been dropped in the bathrooms, which are all marble. There is a very grand staircase, and chandeliers throughout.
'The stature and grandeur of the house cannot be compared to anything else on the market, where luxury properties already sell for £4,000 to £6,000 per sq ft.'
Dudley House was built in 1827 for the Dudley Ward family, but would later be used by Edward VII, who would meet his mistress Lillie Langtry there in secret.
Luxury property experts say only Bridgewater House in Westminster, owned by the family of Yiannis Latsis, could equal the opulence of newly-renovated Dudley House.

I hope everyone had a food-, family-, and fun-filled Independence Day this month! Since we're celebrating the birth of our nation, I've got historical American heroines on my mind. And although she did her groundbreaking work almost one hundred years after we won our independence, I'd like to focus today on a woman who changed our nation (and the world) for the better: Clara Barton.
"I have an almost complete disregard of precedent, and a faith in the possibility of something better. It irritates me to be told how things have always been done. I defy the tyranny of precedent. I go for anything new that might improve the past."
~ Clara Barton
Compassion embodied
Born in 1821 in Oxford, Massachusetts, Clarissa Harlowe Barton was called simply "Clara" by her family and friends. During a time period when women were expected to keep house and keep quiet, Clara was a rebel! She soaked up every ounce of education her family would give her, and schooled herself in the ways of the world by working as a clerk and bookkeeper for her oldest brother.
But she was also somewhat shy, and always on the lookout for ways to be helpful to others. When her brother David was injured in an accident, 10-year-old Clara basically put herself in charge of watching over him. The doctor taught her how to administer his medication, and she continued to care for him long after everyone else had given up hope. Under her watchful eye, he eventually made a full recovery, and Clara knew she'd found her calling.
First, though, she needed to grow up a little. She studied hard and, at the ripe old age of 17, became a school teacher herself. This accomplishment is even more impressive since most teachers in this era were men. Although nursing pulled at her heart, she also adored working with children and finding ways to relate to them. (Growing up with rambunctious brothers helped a lot!) Her career as an educator included founding and running the first free school in New Jersey. But after the institution grew to 600 students, Clara was ousted by a man elected by the school board. They (foolishly) believed that running such a large organization was "man's work."
Fearless and equality-minded
"I may sometimes be willing to teach for nothing, but if paid at all, I shall never do a man's work for less than a man's pay.
~ Clara Barton
Disillusioned and angry, Clara knew she needed a change. Sick of the long, cold New England winters, she decided to try her luck in warmer Washington, D.C. There, in 1855, she took a job that became another in her long list of firsts: She became a clerk in the U.S. Patent Office, where she was one of the first women to work for the federal government. Unwilling to stomach the same treatment she'd gotten in New Jersey, she demanded a salary equal to a man's salary!
This triumph didn't last long. Clara was staunchly against slavery, and being vocal about her political opinions made her too controversial for a government job.
Shortly after she was fired, the Civil War broke out.
Natural nurse and brave care-giver
"I may be compelled to face danger, but never fear it, and while our soldiers can stand and fight, I can stand and feed and nurse them."
~ Clara Barton
As soon as she got word that the war had begun, Clara knew she needed to act. While the military focused on mobilizing and the public was in a panic, she put her energy toward helping the men in uniform, some of whom were already wounded, many hungry, and some without anywhere to sleep or any clothing besides what they had on their backs. She was pragmatic, organized, and clear-headed. She collected some relief articles on her own, appealed to the public for more, and figured out how to store and distribute them to "her boys." Clara's huge heart shone through in her efforts to keep their spirits up: she read to them, wrote letters for them, and prayed with them.
But after a few months she knew that where she was needed most was not in Washington, but on the battlefields.
Having gathered a small force of support volunteers and nurses around her, she campaigned to bring her expertise and much-needed supplies to the front lines. In August of 1862, she arrived at a Virginia field hospital at midnight with a wagon-load of supplies, to the unspeakable relief of the surgeon in charge. After that, Clara earned the nickname, "Angel of the Battlefield," tending to injured and distraught soldiers at the battles of Fairfax Station, Chantilly, Harpers Ferry, South Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Charleston, Petersburg, and Cold Harbor. She ordered her supply wagon drivers to follow the Union cannons and traveled all night, pulling ahead of military medical units. She put the health, comfort, and safety of the troops ahead of her own again and again.
A loving mother to all
"Everybody's business is nobody's business, and nobody's business is my business."
~ Clara Barton
Even after the war, Clara continued to show compassion to those around her. She found herself a point of contact for families looking for men who had been reported missing. Once again, she recognized an important human need and did something practical to address it herself. She contacted President Lincoln to seek permission to take charge of finding these "missing" soldiers and informing their families of their whereabouts. Just before his assassination, Lincoln granted this permission. Over the course of four years, Clara and her assistants responded to more than 63,000 letters and identified more than 22,000 missing men.
And still she worked tirelessly to help others!
After a lecture tour spent describing her experiences on the battlefields, Clara traveled to Europe in 1869 hoping to take a much-needed break. But—ever the loving mother-spirit—she found herself connected with the International Red Cross, a relief organization active during the Franco-Prussian War. Seeing the incredible work being done and its clear universal value, she began to campaign for the creation of an American arm of this group. It took more than a decade of work, but in 1880 the American Red Cross was founded, with Clara as its first leader.
Although she never married or had children of her own, Clara Barton had the ferociously protective and nurturing energy of a mother. She cared for her students as a teacher, her patients as a nurse, and the entire country as the founder of the American Red Cross. She was pragmatic when others were overwhelmed, brave when others were afraid, and willing to put her life on the line for the greater good. She honored our country with her steadfast service, and was a true American heroine!

Albums from the Lost & Found is a regular feature on thegreatalbums.com in which contributor Jeff Fiedler reviews and helps us rediscover great pop albums that seem to have been lost to time.
1980's Irons in the Fire, Teena's third full-length, was her personal favorite of all her albums, and it's not hard to see why. It's not only arguably the finest disc she ever made for Motown, if not perhaps even the best album in her entire discography, but it's also the moment when Teena first truly started to take full creative control over her own product. Of the eight proper songs included here (the ninth track is a reprise of an earlier cut), Teena wrote seven of them entirely herself, also handling the bulk of the rhythm, vocal, and horn arrangements as well. Even more significantly, there is no Rick James or Richard Rudolph this time around to oversee the proceedings – instead, Teena's opted to produce the album on her own and allows herself the freedom to handle piano and keyboard duties on several tracks in the process. Few other artists within the Motown family, female or otherwise, could claim to have this vast an amount of creative control over their records (even the company's biggest female star, Diana Ross, didn't begin to produce her own records until leaving Motown in 1981 and signing with RCA), but any hesitation the label may have had in granting Marie that freedom had to be alleviated when Irons in the Fire became her biggest album yet, not only reaching the R&B Top Ten but reaching #38 on the Billboard Top 200 and yielding her first Top 40 pop hit, the hook-heavy "I Need Your Lovin'," Teena's catchiest song to date, which expertly combines lushly-orchestrated disco with heavy funk (powered by Allan McGrier's awe-inspiringly elastic bass work) and compares favorably to such similarly-flavored – if softer – sides Quincy Jones was producing around the same time, like the Brothers Johnson's "Stomp!" and George Benson's "Give Me the Night."
You would think that opening Irons in the Fire with that well-crafted hit single might work against the album, but surprisingly, the disc avoids taking any significant dip in quality from that point onwards, and the surrounding album cuts that round out the package are nearly every bit as delicious, particularly the dance sides, which all rank as Teena's best up-tempo songs to date. Strip the vocals off of the wormy funk of "First Class Love," and the track could nearly pass for a backing track from the criminally underrated Zapp of "More Bounce to the Ounce" fame. McGrier's bass work is a marvel throughout the album, and he once again steals the show on "Chains," the muscular acapella opening of which is well ahead of its time and foreshadows the sound that En Vogue would ride to fame a full decade later. The stuttered bossa-nova-tinged jazz-funk of the vaguely Al Jarreau-like "You Make Love like Springtime" is simply great fun, while the reprise of the cut that closes the album is even more heavily Latin-flavored and ends the disc on a particularly vibrant note.
Compared to the quality of the dance jams, the ballads pale a bit in comparison, but they're all superior to any of the ballads from Lady T and nicely show off Teena's continuing growth as a ballad singer. The title cut boasts a beautifully-arranged orchestration and a plinking piano motif that recurs throughout the song and adds quite a bit to the track's sultry ambience. "Young Love" similarly has a beautiful hook that more than compensates for the song's overt lushness. "Tune in Tomorrow," the most appealing of the ballads here, is Teena's most jazz-oriented ballad since "I'm Gonna Have My Cake (and Eat It Too)" from her debut album and also features the legendary "Funk Brother" James Jamerson, Jr. on bass.
Teena's final album for Gordy, 1981's It Must Be Magic (like its predecessor, entirely self-produced and nearly entirely self-written, too, with the exception of two co-writes), is nearly every bit as note-perfect as Irons in the Fire and remains one of her most essential studio albums. Once again, it's the dance jams that steal the record, but the passionate balladry of the closing cut "Yes Indeed" might very well be her best non-jazz-oriented ballad yet and concludes the album on a breathtaking note indeed.
But, oh, those dance grooves! If the album has any significant flaw, it's that the sequencing is slightly imperfect and the first two songs should have swapped places; Teena might have been wiser to open the disc with the artistic brilliance of "Revolution," which begins as a powerful piano ballad before unexpectedly shifting gears twenty seconds into the cut and morphing into a gently-funky R&B-jazz side with a killer lead-guitar lick that repeats throughout the song. But the brass-heavy danceable disco of the album-opening title cut nonetheless has a very strong melody and sizable hooks in its own right and would seem like the most obvious track to kick off the record if not for the presence of "Revolution." The old-fashioned stomp of "The Ballad of Cradle Rob and Me," meanwhile, would be right at home on any early Pointer Sisters album for the Blue Thumb label, and "365" is expertly-crafted funk-jazz and beat Anita Baker's lyrically similar "Same Ole Love (365 Days a Year)" to the punch by half a decade.
The two biggest standouts of all, however, are "Portuguese Love" and "Square Biz." The highly-percussive and heavily bossa-nova-flavored "Portuguese Love" (featuring an uncredited cameo from former mentor Rick James) is another of Teena's always-wildly-appealing jazz-tinged outings and one that finds Teena challenging herself vocally to impressive results, the vocalist handling the song's jam-packed lyric with sheer ease. "Square Biz" very nearly gave Teena her second Top 40 hit and should have followed "I Need Your Lovin'" into the survey but would stall at #50; it's every bit as catchy as that Irons in the Fire single, however, and is undeniably one of the three most essential and well-known sides she ever cut with Motown. The song's hardcore funk vibe and busy rhythm arrangement is reminiscent of the equally-appealing (and similarly overlooked) Earth, Wind & Fire single "In the Stone," but once again, Teena steals the spotlight from her ace rhythm section (highlighted by Allan McGrier, who co-wrote the cut and slaps the strings on his bass with impressive force throughout) with her impressive vocal delivery on what is an extremely word-heavy and cleverly syncopated lyric.
You really can't go wrong with any of Teena Marie's four albums for Gordy, especially Irons in the Fire and It Must Be Magic, but if you'd like a sampler of Teena's music before you start delving into any of her studio discs, you may want to check out Hip-O's 2000 Teena Marie best-of Ultimate Collection – there's still plenty of great songs that aren't included ("I'm Gonna Have My Cake and Eat It, Too" or "You Make Love Like Springtime" really ought to have been included to show off Teena's jazzier side, and the R&B chart-topper "Ooh La La La" is strangely absent), but it's one of the rare all-encompassing discs out there that incorporates material from both her tenure with Gordy and her later years at Epic, which means you can have such late-career smashes as "Lovergirl" and "If I Were a Bell" on the same disc as "Square Biz," "I Need Your Lovin'," and "Portuguese Love." [The disc also tosses in her classic duet with Rick James, "Fire and Desire," which never appeared on one of her own studio albums and originally hailed from James' album Street Songs.]

The Levelen Heat Sport Sciences group is based in West Chester, PA. The company is great to work with, both from the sports nutritionist's point-of-view, and from an athlete's perspective as well. Adjusting electrolytes based on sweat testing is a game changer for sure whether you are a runner, cyclist, endurance sport athlete or triathlete.
What's the sweat rate test experience like? Well, they send you a kit, and you tape a gauze pad to your forearm. You then weigh yourself before exercising for the recommended 60 minute baseline, and track the amount of fluids you take in for the time of your test. After the exercise and another weighing, the gauze is mailed back to Levelen.
It is recommended to use 60 minutes as the baseline for this test – you can do less like 30 or 45 minutes, but longer is not necessary and will actually skew the results, according to Levelen. You can do one test for the bike or the run, or you can order the tri kit, where you can do a test for each for less than the price of two kits. It is important to test for multiple sports if you are a multisport athlete: Using these tests I found out that I sweat 600 mg per hour on the bike, but twice that rate on the run.
So what do you get in terms of results? Within a week after sending Levelen your sweaty gauze pad in a tiny sealed vial, you get, via email, a report of how much sodium, potassium and other electrolytes you sweat out per hour. You also get your sweat rate, which will change based on heat and humidity.
I spent five hours with Levelen to understand all the numbers after my test. You will most likely be reading in absolute bewilderment … but it is really not that hard. I have created a spreadsheet that provides a very useful reference page so you'll know what to do for every hour of training or racing, and I can help you optimize that with appropriate electrolyte products.
I have used this test with my clients for two years now. I have been able to help cyclists, runners, ultra runners and triathletes adjust and optimize their electrolyte intakes before, during and after a race. And maintaining the right levels day to day is especially important. For endurance athletes who are maintaining back-to-back training days, knowing the amount of electrolytes you sweat per hour allows for optimum performance … and repeat optimum performances.
For several years, I had 'guestimated' what people's needs were for electrolyte replacement, based on symptoms and trial-and-error. This testing takes the guess work right out of the equation, and also helps the athlete and the coach understand how important it is to replenish 70% of what is lost per hour. It also helps the client to know what they actually need based on their actual numbers. When it's in writing, the plan sticks better.
I just had an athlete complete the ultra endurance RAAM cycling event with a sodium loss of 3800 mg per hour. Although it was a bit of a challenge at first to adjust to the higher intake of electrolytes, the science worked. For the first time in over a dozen years of competing in ultra endurance sports events, the client did not feel that they were running on 'emptier than empty,' post event. For sure the athlete was tired after 15 or more days of riding 20 or more hours each day, but they weren't depleted.
I had an ultra marathoner last year wanting to give up anything longer than a marathon until we did the testing. His fatigue was not just nutrition related, but also resulting from dehydration. With the help of the Levelen sweat testing, we optimized his nutrition and electrolyte protocol. A month later, he finished a 50-miler, placed in his age group and renewed his enthusiasm for a 100-mile ultra. This was all possible because we adjusted his electrolytes based on the sweat testing.
If you are having challenges with cramping, GI distress, and other signs of dehydration, I would suggest ordering your sweat test kit from www.levelen.com. Use code NIM to get a discount and my personal assistance after your results are in.
This is a game changer for me and most of my athletes, and it might be for you, too.

Piggies & Ponies
We like to do fancy things across the front, also known as hair headbands. Then I leave them in as long as they look good and change the way I finish the ends from day to day. Pony, piggies, straightened, etc.
Looks fancy like a french braid, but my hands can do it. It is just a row of flipped piggies. Easy!

I love instagram, but not just because I can have fun posting photos of my goings on. I could spend hours scrolling through the beautiful images that others capture and create.
It's also helped me discover other artists and photographers that I wouldn't have otherwise. Like Alice Gao. I especially enjoy her blog, lingered upon. Her images make me sigh. The good sigh.
