How To Donate To James Robertson, The Humble Detroit Man Who Became Famous For Walking To Work
Just a month ago, Detroit resident James Robertson was logging a grueling 21-mile walk to work five days a week that left him with just two hours to sleep and a wage of $10.55 an hour. Nowadays, Robertson's life looks a lot different. His inspiring story published in the Detroit Free Press resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars in online donations — you can donate to James Robertson here — that have enabled him to get a new apartment and, more importantly, a car that cuts that hefty commute into a quick 20-minute drive.
While Robertson was extremely humble about his efforts to get to his job — where he has perfect attendance — the rest of America was greatly moved and humbled by his tenacity and work ethic. After Robertson's car died, he couldn't afford to buy, insure, and maintain a new car on his wages at Schain Mold & Engineering. Public transportation didn't cover a large part of his commute, so he decided to walk. For the past ten years, Robertson was walking for hours five days out of the week. But to Robertson, it wasn't that big of a deal. He told People:
I don't think what I do is big deal. I do what I have to do to get to work in the morning. It's just a part of my life.
One person, 19-year-old Wayne State University student Evan Leedy, was so impressed by what Robertson was doing that he set up a GoFundMe page to raise money to get Robertson a car. Leedy told People:
I was blown away. He has been doing this for so long and doesn't complain. I though of myself and how most people could never do what he does every single day.
Leedy set the donation goal at $5,000 dollars — his expectations were quickly exceeded. Just a day after he set up the page, over 5,300 people had donated over $149,000. The donations eventually topped $360,000 and an auto dealership donated a new $35,000 Ford Taurus to Robertson, the Associated Press reports. Recently, Robertson used the money to purchase a new apartment in the Detroit suburb of Troy, Michigan.
But despite the influx of generosity and this newfound wealth, Robertson isn't changing his habits. He plans to keep working at the same factory he always has. Financial experts are helping him to manage his money. His new apartment costs less rent per month than his previous apartment did.
Robertson's story offers the rare happy ending that so often does not happen in the U.S. economy. His tenacity gives a glimmer of hope that hard work just might pay off.

Customer service can still be undermined with today's digital age. Even the most efficient line of product and services can still be dishonoured by a handful of but substantial buyer-related mistakes. Whether you're a software solutions company or a middle-sized diner operation proprietor, client care is entirely significant in your business.
The following are client care habits that will help improve your business from the inside out:
Practice being a stellar sounding board.
Buyers who directly visit a physical retail store intend to shop for the service or product to quench their demands. To get devotion and guaranteed approval, companies should know tips on how to listen to their customers.
For instance, any type of service technician can state that they're a good HGV cracked windscreen repairs specialist. Having said that, the best repairs company hears the potential client's obstacle right before something else. The best technician for HGV replacement windscreens inspects the motor vehicle in person. They examine questions, focus on what the individual really points out, and doesn't sell off HGV windscreens promptly.
Always treat each client accordingly and specially.
Potential clients come and go and that's the truth. However, just because it is factual, doesn't mean the company should rub it in the users' faces. This is a huge no-no. A lot of people like being received with warmness and sincere assistance.
Say, a software developer may face avalanches of small to medium businesses as clients every now and then. Nonetheless, a perpetual gush of clients doesn't excuse a software developer from dismissing efforts in making them feel exclusive.
A software development company in Leicester, for instance, can allow their business gain a stellar track record if they incorporate sincerity in addressing their patrons. If you're searching "website development company near me" on Google, always find a great website design agency that spends additional time and effort in ensuring that clients feel at home.
Practice evaluating and predicting customer requirements.
As specified, prospects don't actually purchase the service or product–they buy the full satisfaction of their demands. Personnel who execute excellent client support are proficient in evaluating and forefeeling their visitors' needs.
For instance, if you're a customer who's seeking out a holiday rental has today, you're possibly either a vacationist who intends to recline. A holiday rental provider should have the ability to intercept your wants for your holiday even without you mentioning it.
Service providers of holiday rentals will definitely achieve more if they know what style of guests they are getting. Whether it's a weekend warrior or a small family looking for a holiday home, business owners must be sensitive more to prevision their future needs.
They know ways to make clients understand their services.
Among the primary aspects of user communicating is learning the point of view of the patrons. Then, the company should be able to respond in the guests' terms and make them grasp the service or the system.
For instance, if the customer is inquiring a housing accommodation, the client support representative (CSR) should gladly work with comprehensible phrases. They should keep away from talking about vernaculars and unaccustomed titles, despite the fact that they're' sort of' relevant to the query stated
They rise above usual expectations.
Client support continues beyond delivering some of the most wanted needs; it should also go above notions. For example, if you're trying to find a property developer, don't only hunt for a business who can provide the rudimentary services. Choose a property developer who can provide other unique and unexpected collection of practical solutions.
How do you understand you're addressing the leading property developer? Since you're intending to deal with property development and some legal documents, for instance, you could select a property developer who can offer services for smoothening out your legalities as well. Before you search for a property developer, bear in mind to enlist your needs. For more information, visit their website at http://www.leicesterwebsitedesign.com/software-development

If you're haunted by dreaded piano lessons as a child and stuffy classical concerts where people hold their breaths between movements, think again. KaJeng Wong made a name for himself as one of Hong Kong's most prominent young musicians, and in 2013, founded Music Lab to help redefine classical music in today's social context, promoting a new way for the new generation to enjoy classical music.
#legend spoke to Wong about his growth as a musician, his aspirations and how he hopes the Music Lab Festival will help cultivate young talent in the city.
I decided to become a pianist after my HKCEE exams in Form 5. It was a sudden calling that I had- I wanted to answer to my talents and ambitions.
My parents were very supportive. Though my father warned me of the difficult path that it may be. This thought became my biggest motivation to work hard and to achieve the most that I can.
I believe the hardest challenge of any musician is to remain integral to yourself while being connected with the society. We as artists have to have something personal to say, as art is about personal expression. But one must also consider the ongoing wheel of the world as well.
In the States, and whenever I go to festivals or competitions.
The music scene in Hong Kong was definitely blossoming in the past few years, and I am proud to have been part of it. The sheer number of promising young musicians returning, improving and sharing their great talents is staggering. The audiences notice this growth and have been supportive too. It is also wonderful to see all these activities regularly on social media. It feels like a big family.
I wanted to start Music Lab when I felt the strong urge to realise my personal projects.
When we started out, we were a bunch of musicians and fresh administrators having little experiences in our society. We were trained in university for our skills, but we were yet to be tested. I believe this is what local musicians face as well: they were trained musically, but do not know what to do with their skills. Therefore Music Lab wants to be a grooming hub where we engage the musicians to work with us. In this process, the musicians gain experience through opportunities our team improves as a programming force, and our audiences are surprised with our creativity.
2018 marks the third year of the Music Lab Festival, an annual flagship event where we produce top-quality and the biggest productions of our year. As a music festival, we do not limit ourselves to only one musical genre, and we try to be as original and as creative possible. Our aim is to produce programs organically and to ultimately bring them abroad.
It is definitely very different from playing a recital at a music conservatory where everyone knows music already! Back then I can be a "purist" I didn't have to think about all these other elements. But being at this position I must think out of the box, and to think from the perspectives of the audiences. Frankly, I quite enjoy it because it is perfect for my personality too.
Out of all the past concerts that I have done, my favourite was my piano recital last year "God or No God", and "Beloved Clara", a chamber concert. I am very pleased that my audiences have had raving reviews on them too.
The only challenge is to keep everyone focused on our ultimate goal, which is to promote classical music to a greater mass, as well as elevating our status as local musicians. I have utter faith in ourselves - our musicians and audiences. And this faith is what keeps me going.
I have the best hopes for the future. I am an optimist. I believe there will be even greater talents returning, and the audiences will enjoy more variety of programs. To facilitate this growth, hopefully there will be even better venues available, and I hope to make a name internationally for Music Lab too.
The Music Lab Festival includes three different programmes and starts on April 27, with the last concert on June 21. You can find out more about The Music Lab Festival's programme here.

New look on the Old Liberty Square
Finishing touches on the Historic Downtown Liberty Square are still to come, but city leaders and shop owners are already celebrating the completion of a $5 million facelift to the nearly 200-year-old city-center. They held a ribbon cutting and an afternoon of family games to encourage people to come enjoy the area's new look.
Orange cones and detours have been up on the Liberty Square for nearly a year. The project caused closures and the relocation and cancellation of downtown events in order to bring the first major facelift to the square in 30 years.
The $5 million renovation project, which was funded through an economic development sales tax passed in 2014, brings new streetscaping and parking areas, as well as wider sidewalks, plantings and benches to improve the walkability of the area. Much of the project, however, focused on subterranean infrastructure fixes.
The city fixed water and sewer lines and added storm drains, something that had never before been installed in the historic area. Construction ran into delays with gas lines and other unexpected problems in modernizing the area underneath the historic buildings around the square. Many of the buildings were built in the 1800s. Liberty Mayor Lyndell Brenton says their goal was to try to do what they could to see the area beautified and preserved as long as possible.
"The downtown is the heart of the city," Brenton said. "It has been here for almost two centuries. It has been passed down from generation to generation, and it's been a couple of generations since we've really made a significant investment in the square. So, it's really important that we do that so we can pass it on to the generations yet to come."
Vickie Vance, executive director for Historic Downtown Liberty Inc., says merchants around the square are glad to see the long process coming to an end.
"We are beyond excited to see the end in sight on this," Vance said. "We knew it needed to happen. We just didn't have any idea how long it was going to take. We are thankful to all the customers who found their way downtown around the construction."
The square currently has 26 retail shops and 12 eateries, as well as a variety of service industries. Vance reports that even though business was down, none of the merchants had to close up shop because of the construction, and a couple of new businesses opened.
Shawn Garland, owner of The Artisan Market on Main Street, took a space that had never been used for retail and turned it into a small art gallery. She had to delay the opening of her businesses three months due to the long construction project, but says she is glad for the street-side upgrades.
"I can't wait to see the finishing touches," Garland said. "I think that's going to make a really big difference. The parking on this street is much better than it had been, because we got angle parking on the street."
Ralph Brant, whose family has owned Brant's Clothing on the square for nearly 100 years, says the square is about community. From his perspective, the renovation, and its increased appeal for walkability gives people more reason to simply be on the square. Brant believes that is a good thing.
"We have a center of energy and community on the square. What's exciting about the downtown is that there will be people here at all times of day, even past midnight, just walking around or enjoying what we have."
The Historic Downtown Liberty Inc. sponsors regular public events throughout the year, including a weekly Saturday morning farmers market and a cruise night for historic cars on the last Saturday night of each month.

Profitable small companies can quickly fail if they lack cash. Likewise, unprofitable unprof small companies can be survived for a very long time if they have a decent cash balance. To puts it simply, cash is the life blood of American small companies.
Small Business Loans in Crescent Mills, California
Naturally, when times are tough, inability to acquire capital to pay day-to-day business expenses typically ends up being a source of worry, stress and anxiety and distraction for small business owners.
In these cases, lots of small company owners think about seeking short term funding.
Small Business Loans in Crescent Mills, California
Regrettably, the majority of huge city and village standard lending institutions have rigid and stringent criteria that their customers must fulfill.
Because of this, there is 4 particular functions that are required by those seeking business funding.
Easy credit approval:
Companies have a separate credit rating from the business owner. Even if the business owner has a high credit report, business may not have a recognized credit rating (particularly if recently established). Therefore, prospective loan providers need to offer services with that take the business owner's individual credit into factor to consider and that accepts candidates with less than ideal credit.
Fast Financing Time:
Typically, when an organisation is seeking out a loan, they have operating costs that they need to have the ability to pay within the next 7-14 days (such as payroll and suppliers). As such, loans that take weeks to be authorized and finances simply aren't appropriate to the majority of businesses needs
No Red Tape:
Lots of standard lenders requires months of bank statements and years of tax returns to be able to process a loan application. While this may not be a big deal to a reputable business, it's not really helpful for a brand-new business that has been in business for six months to a year
Small Business Friendly:
Frequently, brick and mortar lending institutions just service companies doing 20k or more in month-to-month profits. This disqualifies smaller sized organisations doing 10k-15k in monthly earnings.
Because of the rigorous abovementioned credentials criteria imposed by traditional lenders, a growing number of entrepreneur are turning to the myriad of online loaning options now readily available to small business owners in Crescent Mills, California
GoTorro Small Business Loans offers fast financing in as low as 48 hours, of amounts varying from $10,000 – $500,000 to customers that satisfy the following basic certification requirements:
500+ FICO Score
6+ Months in Business
10k+ Monthly Revenue
No security, No bank declarations, No Financials, No Tax Returns, and no credit recommendations are required.

What is SWOT MODEL?
SWOT model stands for strength weaknesses opportunities and threats which gives an in-depth analysis of a business model.
A website using the SWOT model gets the ability to calculate and analyze its strengths and weaknesses internally and externally.

Weaknesses in SWOT looks at the weaknesses that require the website's attention from a similar goal structure.
With attention paid on the weak side, websites can focus or find solutions to calm down those negative aspects
Strengths and Weaknesses make up the internal aspects of SWOT.
Now we are going to talk about the external aspects of the SWOT model which are Opportunities and threats.
Opportunities in a SWOT looks at the situations where websites have potential to increase the rate they reach their end goal.

Words by Steven Tate
If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."
US president Lyndon Johnson uttered these words in the 1960s, and never have they been more relevant than today. The rise of tribalism in Europe and the US proves the enduring power of "othering": finding unity amongst one's own by scapegoating those different. Tribalism isn't so much about how people love those similar to them. It is about how much they loathe people different from them. It unites under the banner of people feeling under assault.
For centuries, war had ravaged Europe. Since the end of World War II, the 28 member states of the European Union have been at peace for the longest time in history. But the UK now looks poised to leave the Union. The reason: Brexit supporters blame immigrants for Britain's imagined decline.
In the US, Republican voters believe immigrants from "shithole countries" are responsible for economic stagnation, crime, and their social malaise. Yet it was Republican governors and senators who enacted policies that stripped workers of their rights, deregulated corporations, and enacted policies that have impoverished the middle and working classes. These people blame crime and terrorism on foreigners, when native-born Americans are responsible for the vast majority of mass shootings and gun violence committed in the US.
"Divide and conquer" has been the modus operandi of corporatists, politicians and demagogues. And the "both sides are guilty" argument has been damaging to any meaningful dialogue. The LGBQT community is not trying to convert anyone. People of color don't want to rule over white people. And women are not looking to enslave men. These "tribes" want equality, while their adversaries want to maintain an unequal system that privileges themselves over others.
Well-meaning folks speak of compromise, but how can one negotiate equality? Trying to do such results in something like the Constitution's Three-Fifths Compromise, which ruled that black slaves were to be counted three-fifths of a person. It's like the old joke of being "a little bit pregnant." A woman is either pregnant or not. Just as a woman has autonomy over her body or she doesn't. And minorities have equal rights or they don't. Fortunately, these oppressed tribes now have the numbers to make things happen on an electoral level. It's just time that they become as organized as their opponent tribes.
"We are more alike, my friends, than we are unalike," Maya Angelou wrote. But our differences matter. And being different isn't a bad thing. Muslims are different from Jews. Jews are different from Christians. And atheists are different from all of the above, as well as there being differences within each group. Where we can find common ground is important for us to co-exist, but what makes us different also defines us.
Being part of a tribe can be a glorious thing, and is not mutually exclusive from peace. Domination, subjugation and oppression of others are the enemy.

Cultural Alliance of Western CT to Present Networking Series: CULTURENet
Opening with a Conversation Among Authors, Illustrators, & Book Enthusiasts
On February 22nd
"Culture can become a 'secret weapon' that makes extraordinary things happen." –author Jon Katzenbach, Booz & Co.
The Cultural Alliance of Western Connecticut is pleased to announce its new networking series, CULTURENet,
topic-focused events to gather together like-minded people who revolve in the expansive arenas of art, history, and culture. "Art, history, and culture are invariably linked, constantly pushing and pulling the advancement of one another," says Lisa Scails, Executive Director of the Cultural Alliance of Western Connecticut. "Our desire is to link together the fabrics of our community to inspire and inform."
The first event in the series, "The Connecticut Book Awards: Calling Connecticut Authors & Illustrators," will welcome guest Lisa Comstock, Director of the Connecticut Center for the Book, to share an overview of the prestigious annual awards. The event, which will provide plenty of opportunity to network with those who share a common thread, will take place on Thursday, February 22nd, 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM, at @287 Gallery, 287 Main Street, Danbury, CT. Robert H. Patton and Karen Fortunati, both 2017 CT Book Award winners, will also be on hand to network, mingle, and provide insight. BYO snacks and beverage is encouraged. CULTURENet events are free and open to the public, but space is limited. RSVP at http://bit.ly/CTbookawards
The Connecticut Center for the Book at Connecticut Humanities (CTH), a nonprofit affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities is now accepting submissions for the 2018 Connecticut Book Awards. These awards will recognize the best books published in 2017 by authors and illustrators who reside in Connecticut. Categories include Fiction, Non-Fiction, Poetry, and Young Readers. Award winners, to be announced in September 2018, will receive exposure in Connecticut media outlets and through personal appearances in Connecticut locations. Through competitive grant making, its website, and social media channels, Connecticut Humanities highlights cultural and educational events and is an advocate for the humanities.

In 2015, she became the Director of the Connecticut Center for the Book. Lisa holds a Bachelor's degree in history and in English from the University of Tampa and a Master of Arts in Liberal Studies from Wesleyan University.
Robert H. Patton's winning entry was for Cajun Waltz, published by Thomas Dunne Books, St. Martin's Press. A resident of Darien, his book captures the cadence of the Louisiana bayou during the Depression and beyond. Robert holds degrees in literature and journalism from Brown University and Northwestern University. He has worked as a Capitol Hill reporter, a commercial fisherman, and a real estate developer before publishing his family memoir, The Pattons, to wide acclaim in 1994.
Karen Fortunati was awarded forThe Weight of Zero, published by Delacorte Press, a story of loss, grief, and hope that affects a young woman in her struggle with mental illness and the stigma of treatment. Fortunati is a former attorney whose experiences on the job with children and teens and personal experiences witnessing the impact of depression, bipolar disorder, and suicide inspired her to write the story of hope for those who struggle with mental illness.

As prime minister Theresa May announces her Brexit Plan for Britain, businesses must ready themselves for a lengthy period of uncertainty and exchange rate volatility. Some already have contingency plans in place, but others have yet to react to the situation in hand.
In her announcement today, Theresa May has said that Britain "cannot possibly" remain within the European single market – the clearest sign yet that the government is pursuing a "hard" Brexit. While this will inevitably bring challenges for many small and medium-sized businesses, this announcement and the confirmed timetable for Brexit should encourage those that have been delaying doing so, to take action.

The average person is not familiar with most things having to do with HVAC. This can make it hard to choose a good HVAC system or to deal with problems to your existing system. Fortunately, the following advice can be helpful in finding the right HVAC professionals.
Prior to choosing an HVAC customer, try to have an idea of what you want done. It will be hard for a contractor to give you a price estimate over the phone if they have not seen your current system. If you don't have any idea, they will have trouble giving you any sort of quote. It's important to know this beforehand.
Clean the coils of your condenser fan each month. Turn off your power before doing any job like this. Keep the exterior of the condenser unit free of debris.
Get all of the details regarding a broken system before calling for repair. Write down what brand your system is along with the model number and, if they're available, maintenance records. This makes sure your contractor will be sufficiently prepared.
Every spring you should clean the coils and fan blades on your condenser fan. First, turn the power off so nothing moves when you're working with it. Then, remove the grill, then remove the blades and begin the cleaning process of the blades and the unit.
Be careful when doing yard work that you do not get debris on or in your unit. Make certain the debris goes away from it. This also applies to blowing leaves or moving debris. Just be careful with that exterior HVAC unit.
In order to boost efficiency, place new outdoor units or move your current unit to a place which resides in the shade. This will help you save on your energy bill.
Before an HVAC expert comes to your home to do any repair work, walk around the home and check out the temps in every room. Find out which rooms are hot and which are cold. That knowledge can help the technician figure out what is going on.
When it gets cold outside, it is necessary to turn off outdoor condenser units. To prevent damage, turn off your unit if the outside temperature is less than 60 degrees. This will help keep your HVAC system in good health for years, which means you will save on repair bills.
Keep your air conditioner off when people aren't home to save you money. By raising the temperature from, for example 78 to 80, your house will be warmer, but only up to 80 before your AC kicks in. If you decide to set the temperature to 82 or 83 or so on, your AC won't go on until it reaches that temperature. Leaving it on for the entire day means that it is struggling to keep things cool, something that takes lots of energy.
Never allow the temperature in your home to rise to a dangerously high level. It is only possible for an air conditioner to lower the temperature in a home by 20 degrees F in a short time. This limits their overall benefit. Depending on the levels of humidity, that is not a safe temperature when it comes to sleeping or escaping from the heat of summer.
If your unit is outdoors, clean them regularly. Particularly after bad weather, you should inspect your unit. It can cause your system to malfunction by overheating.
Spend some time on researching for reliable HVAC companies to ensure that they have a good reputation. Check with different references to determine the best one for your situation. It would be wise of you to take these steps.
You can get ice in your air conditioner. The drain line can freeze, making you think it's a plumbing leak. Use the fan-only setting to allow the system time to thaw. You should leave the repair to a professional, but switching to the fan setting should start to melt the ice.
Look for sizing calculators based on the air conditioner you have to figure out how big of a unit you need in your home. If you purchase something too large, you will be throwing away money. To get the right information, look in the manual to find out the rating the manufacturer gives the unit for cooling.
Clean the fan blades and coils in your condenser each spring. Don't forget to disconnect the power first. Remove the grill and carefully clean the blades and surrounding areas.
How long has the contractor been in business? Companies that are around awhile have a better record than those that haven't been. If you hire someone that's new that this then you'll be risking your money.
If you need a HVAC contractor, try and get recommendations from family and friends. Those who have had a great experience should have no issue giving you this info. This will also help you avoid scammers.
All contractors charge differently for their services, so get at least four or five quotes before hiring a particular person. Save yourself some money by calling around before you make your final decision. Contact a minimum of five contractors so you can determine realistically what the price will be.
A good place to place your compressor unit outside is in a shady spot. If it sucks in cool air, it will need to work less to coll the air inside, which can make it last longer.
Think about getting a radiant barrier in your attic so your HVAC system can run better. It blocks outside heat from coming in which will make sure you won't have to use more energy to keep your home cool when it's hot outside. If done right, you can even start using the attic as living space.
Are you considering purchasing a new heating and cooling system? You will need to take a few things into account. Systems are given ratings by how effectively they can cool and heat an area. It is best to get a bigger unit than you need, instead of a smaller one.
To keep your HVAC unit running at full capacity, you should have quality doors and windows installed that are efficient. Seal them tightly to prevent air from coming in. A good professional can test this for you, and they might even do it for free.
To increase the efficiency of your HVAC unit, be sure to keep it in the shade. Your air conditioner won't have to work so hard if the air is sucks in is already cool.
The best HVAC company will be able to arrive quickly and work quickly and effectively. Reliable companies insist that their technicians are prompt. These techs that come out should be quickly able to figure out the issue and remedy the problem right away. They should offer you answers which can be implemented right away.
When you hire a contractor, always ask for references. You should know that the contractor does exactly what he says he's going to do, and there are no hidden costs involved. Make certain to follow through and contact the references provided.
When your HVAC fails, the situation is bad. However, if you just take your time to learn things about this kind of a topic before things go wrong, it won't be so bad for you. Heeding the tips in this piece makes handling emergencies fast and easily much more doable.
Consumers are usually advised to have their HVAC systems inspected twice a year. Ideally, you should have it looked at in the spring and fall so you know everything is set for the hot and cold months. Check it out just to be safe even if there is nothing broken.

but you can give us some description of this evening; try."
B---- (a girl of 14.) "The clouds in the west are bright with the
light of the sun which has just set; a thick mist is seen in the east,
and the smoke which had been _heaped up_ in the day-time, is now
spread, and mixes with the mist all round us; the noises are heard
more plainly (though there are but few) than in the day-time; and
those which are at a distance, sound almost as near as those which are
close to us; there is a red mist round the moon."
C---- (a girl of eleven years old.) "The western clouds are pink with
the light of the sun which has just set. The moon shines red through
the mist. The smoke and mist make it look dark at a distance; but the
few objects near us appear plainer. If it was not for the light of
the moon, they would not be seen; but the moon is exceedingly bright;
it shines upon the house and the windows. Every thing sounds busy at a
distance; but what is near us is still."
S---- (a boy between nine and ten years old). "The sun has set behind
the hill, and the western clouds are tinged with light. The mist mixes
with the smoke, which rises from the heaps of weeds which some poor
man is burning to earn bread for his family. The moon through the mist
peeps her head, and sometimes she _goes back_, retires into her bower
of clouds. The few noises that are heard, are heard very plain--very
We should observe, that the children who attempted these little
descriptions, had not been habituated to the _poetic trade_; these
were the only descriptions of an evening which they ever made. It
would be hurtful to exercise children frequently in descriptive
composition; it would give them the habit of exact observation, it is
true, but something more is necessary to the higher species of poetry.
Words must be selected which do not represent only, but which suggest,
ideas. Minute veracity is essential to some sorts of description; but
in a higher style of poetry, only the large features characteristic of
the scene must be produced, and all that is subordinate must be
suppressed. Sir Joshua Reynolds justly observes, that painters, who
aim merely at deception of the eye by exact imitation, are not likely,
even in their most successful imitations, to rouse the imagination.
The man who mistook the painted fly for a real fly, only brushed, or
attempted to brush it, away. The exact representation of such a common
object, could not raise any sublime ideas in his mind; and when he
perceived the deception, the wonder which he felt at the painter's
art, was a sensation no wise connected with poetic enthusiasm.
As soon as young people have collected a variety of ideas, we can
proceed a step in the education of their fancy. We should sometimes in
conversation, sometimes in writing or in drawing, show them how a few
strokes, or a few words, can suggest or combine various ideas. A
single expression from Cжsar, charmed a mutinous army to instant
submission. Unless the words "_Roman Citizens!_" had suggested more
than meets the ear, how could they have produced this wonderful
effect? The works of Voltaire and Sterne abound with examples of the
skilful use of the language of suggestion: on this the wit of
Voltaire, and the humour and pathos of Sterne, securely depend for
their success. Thus, corporal Trim's eloquence on the death of his
young master, owed its effect upon the whole kitchen, including "the
fat scullion, who was scouring a fish-kettle upon her knees," to the
well-timed use of the mixed language of action and suggestion.
"'Are we not here now?' continued the corporal (striking the end of
his stick perpendicularly upon the floor, so as to give an idea of
health and stability) 'and are we not' (dropping his hat upon the
ground) 'gone in a moment?'"
"Are we not here now, and gone in a moment?" continues Sterne, who, in
this instance, reveals the secret of his own art. "There was nothing
in the sentence; it was one of your self-evident truths we have the
advantage of hearing every day; and if Trim had not trusted more to
his hat than his head, he had made nothing at all of it."
When we point out to our pupils such examples in Sterne, we hope it
will not be understood, that we point them out to induce servile
imitation. We apprehend, that the imitators of Sterne have failed from
not having discovered that the interjections and ---- dashes of this
author, are not in themselves beauties, but that they affect us by
suggesting ideas. To prevent any young writers from the intemperate or
absurd use of interjections, we should show them Mr. Horne Tooke's
acute remarks upon this mode of embellishment. We do not, however,
entirely agree with this author in his abhorrence of interjections.
We do not believe that "where speech can be employed they are totally
useless; and are always insufficient for the purpose of communicating
our thoughts."[68] Even if we class them, as Mr. Tooke himself
does,[69] amongst "involuntary convulsions with oral sound," such as
groaning, shrieking, &c. yet they may suggest ideas, as well as
express animal feelings. Sighing, according to Mr. Tooke, is in the
class of interjections, yet the poet acknowledges the superior
eloquence of sighs:
"Persuasive words, and _more persuasive_ sighs."
"'I wish,' said Uncle Toby, with a deep sigh (after hearing the story
of Le Fevre) 'I wish, Trim, I was asleep.'" The sigh here adds great
force to the wish, and it does not mark that Uncle Toby, from
vehemence of passion, had returned to the brutal state of a savage who
has not learnt the use of speech; but, on the contrary, it suggests to
the reader, that Uncle Toby was a man of civilized humanity; not one
whose compassion was to be excited merely as an animal feeling by the
actual _sight_ of a fellow-creature in pain, but rather by the
description of the sufferer's situation.
In painting, as well as in writing, the language of suggestion affects
the mind, and if any of our pupils should wish to excel in this art,
they must early attend to this principle. The picture of Agamemnon
hiding his face at the sacrifice of his daughter, expresses little to
the eye, but much to the imagination. The usual signs of grief and joy
make but slight impression; to laugh and to weep are such common
expressions of delight or anguish, that they cannot be mistaken, even
by the illiterate; but the imagination must be cultivated to enlarge
the sphere of sympathy, and to render a more refined language
intelligible. It is said that a Milanese artist painted two peasants,
and two country-girls, who laughed so heartily, that _no one_ could
look at them without laughing.[70] This is an instance of sympathy
unconnected with imagination. The following is an instance of sympathy
excited by imagination. When Porcia was to part from Brutus, just
before the breaking out of the civil war, "she endeavoured," says
Plutarch, "as well as possible, to conceal the sorrow that oppressed
her; but, notwithstanding her magnanimity, a picture betrayed her
distress. The subject was the parting of Hector and Andromache. He was
represented delivering his son Astyanax into her arms, and the eyes of
Andromache were fixed upon him. The resemblance that this picture bore
to her own distress, made _Porcia_ burst into tears the moment she
beheld it." If Porcia had never read Homer, Andromache would not have
had this power over her imagination and her sympathy.
The imagination not only heightens the power of sympathy with the
emotions of all the passions which a painter would excite, but it is
likewise essential to our taste for another class of pleasures.
Artists, who like Hogarth would please by humour, wit, and ridicule,
must depend upon the imagination of the spectators to supply all the
intermediate ideas which they would suggest. The cobweb over the poor
box, one of the happiest strokes of satire that Hogarth ever invented,
would probably say nothing to the inattentive eye, or the dull
imagination. A young person must acquire the language, before he can
understand the ideas, of superior minds.
The taste for poetry must be prepared by the culture of the
imagination. The united powers of music and poetry could not have
triumphed over Alexander, unless his imagination had assisted "the
mighty master."
"With downcast looks the joyless victor sat,
Revolving in his altered soul
The various turns of chance below;
And now and then a sigh he stole,
And tears began to flow."
The sigh and the tears were the consequences of Alexander's own
thoughts, which were only recalled by kindred sounds. We are well
aware, that savage nations, or those that are imperfectly civilized,
are subject to enthusiasm; but we are inclined to think, that the
barbarous clamour with which they proclaim their delight in music and
poetry, may deceive us as to the degree in which it is felt: the
sensations of cultivated minds may be more exquisite, though they are
felt in silence. It has been supposed, that ignorance is extremely
susceptible of the pleasures of wonder: but wonder and admiration are
different feelings: the admiration which a cultivated mind feels for
excellence, of which it can fully judge, is surely a higher species of
pleasure, than the brute wonder expressed by "a foolish face of
praise." Madame Roland tells us, that once, at a sermon preached by a
celebrated Frenchman, she was struck with the earnest attention
painted in the countenance of a young woman who was looking up at the
preacher. At length the fair enthusiast exclaimed, "My God, how he
perspires!" A different sort of admiration was felt by Cжsar, when the
scroll dropped from his hand whilst he listened to an oration of
There are an infinite variety of associations, by which the orator has
power to rouse the imagination of

20th Century Fox and Blue Sky Studios are set to bring us the fifth installment of the Ice Age franchise, this summer. Ice Age: Collision Course, will be hoping to emulate the commercial success enjoyed by the four previous movies, which together have pulled in over $730 million at the domestic box office alone.
This time, the lovable sabre-tooth squirrel, Scrat, is the catalyst for the main events of the movie, when his relentless pursuit of the perfect acorn catapults him into outer space. There, he unwittingly sets of a string of events leading to the formation of the solar system, as well a wreaking havoc down on Earth with a series of meteor showers. In order to save themselves, Sid, Manny, and Diego leave their home to find safety elsewhere - and in doing so, meet a whole host of new characters.
Following on from the first trailer - itself a condensed version of the Scrat original short that played in front of The Peanuts Movie in theaters - the latest Ice Age: Collision Course trailer has dropped online. Give it a watch, above.
The original Ice Age voice cast are back again for Collision Course, including John Leguizamo as Sid, Dennis Leary as Diego, and Ray Romano as Manny. Newcomers include Stephanie Beatriz (You're Not You), Adam DeVine (Pitch Perfect 2), Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Max Greenfield (Veronica Mars), Jessie J, Nick Offerman (Fargo), Melissa Rauch (The Big Bang Theory), and Michael Strahan. Collision Course is directed by Ice Age stalwarts, Mike Thurmeier, known for also helming Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs and Ice Age: Continental Drift, along with Galen T. Chu.
As always, this Ice Age trailer brings the laughs; mainly thanks to Scrat, who is as neurotic and adorable as always, but also thanks to the trio of Manny, Sid and Diego who are just as watchable as ever. 20th Century and Blue Sky always seem to be the unsung heroes of animation; dwarfed by Disney and Pixar, but there's plenty of love out there for their movies and Collision Course looks like it will be equally as fun as all the others. Ice Age movies succeed at appealing to adults and kids alike, packed full of visual gags as well as subtle jokes that will probably fly over the heads of younger viewers.
Ice Age: Collision Course will be released in U.S. theaters on July 22nd, 2016.

Roadwork maintenance crews in several Bellingham neighborhoods the next 2 weeks
It's that time when the city does crack-sealing work on local streets, and this year the focus is central Bellingham.
Crews started the preventive maintenance work and it is expected to last two more weeks depending on the weather, according to a news release from the city. Most of the work will be done north of Alabama Street, east of Cornwall Avenue, west of Lake Whatcom and south of Sunset Drive.
Motorists should expect delays and flaggers will be directing drivers around any lane closures.

I swear, I'm never negative and for me to put that last pity party post out was out of my comfort zone. You know why? I know things will work out as they are supposed to. I know that I have lessons to learn. I know that all will not be good and I have to have hard lessons in order to grow.
I had the incredible privilege to talk to Jen O'Connor, creative business speaker extraordinaire, last week. The crazy thing is Laura listened to her speak during the Country Living Fair and told me I HAD to find her and talk to her. I tried on Saturday, but couldn't figure out where she was and blew it off. I came home from the weekend and was all down in the dumps, thinking maybe I was trying to hard for something that wasn't worth it. I thought about Jen O'Connor and I thought about reaching out to her and telling her all about my failure. I didn't. THEN. Then my friend, Laura Putnam of Finding Home (you need to read her inspiring blog), left me a message to call her. Ok, Laura and I are friends. We see each other a couple of times a year…if we're lucky. We don't talk on the phone. Of course, I call her because I respect her and would do anything she asked of me. She begins telling me about a friend that she ran into at a track meet that she doesn't see very often. She needed to catch up with her. They start talking about The Country LIving Fair in Lebanon, Tennessee….wait, I forgot to tell you that Laura lives in New York. ya. So, Laura tells track meet friend that she has a friend that did the show and didn't feel good about it. (me) The FIRST thing out of Jen's mouth is, "We don't do these shows to make money." What the…. Ok, so we learn that brand recognition is why we do these shows. Nice, here's my brand, I've spent a lot of money to get here, now I'm going home with a giant hole in my bank account. Seriously, though I'm listening to Laura P and trying not to interrupt her. She was talking to the same Jen O'Connor that Laura D. said I needed to talk to all weekend. Laura P. tells me that Jen is exactly the person I need to be talking to. Seriously, people. I need you to understand that this was a God thing. You realize that these stars aligned and I needed to be told that the Country Living Fair wasn't all about money, it was about learning a lesson and finding Jen O'Connor. :-) I reach out to Jen and tell her our connection. She calls me the next day, we talk for about 30 minutes. She gives me a little homework and we are about to reignite this Lucy's Inspired gig I've got going!
Fast forward to Friday of last week and I'm heading to Montgomery, Alabama to do another show, Southern Makers. I was on the board for this event for the first two years and feel like a part of my heart belongs there. I was really excited about going and a little skeptical at the same time. Coming off a show that cost more than I made was a hit to the ego. What if, what if, what if.
Saturday morning comes around and I head over to the Train Shed and immediately, I know this is going to be an amazing weekend.
These are my people.
Creatives that are together in one place using their brains and hands to create things from the South. Ninety-nine percent of these folks are from Alabama. We are all on the same team. We want to do something to make this state of ours a better place. We want to enjoy and celebrate the fact that the South is coming back to life. There is a renewal here. This space we are in gives each of us a connection to the artists, a place for the artists to tell their story.
I'm so thankful for what Southern Makers is doing for creatives in Alabama and around the South. It's inspiring to be a part of such an exciting event. George Jones, Jr. describes it best when he tells you there is an electricity running through the place. I'm humbled to be a part of this revival of art, craft, food, music, Alabama and the South.

What to look for when hiring a PR firm
Thinking about hiring a PR firm?
Before you do that, consider these top tips to make sure you make the right hire. The wrong PR firm can cost you thousands of dollars and a lot of wasted time in the long run.
1). Before you do hire a PR firm, decide what your goals are both for the long term and the short term. It's important to know whether you need to build brand awareness, generate more sales, attract investors, hire and retain better talent, or simply send more traffic to your website.
2). When searching for the right PR firm, speak to all of the people that will be on the team managing your account. It's critical that you get along with those people and trust them to do the job. If you don't like or trust the people on your team, then it's not going to work.
3). Ask to meet with the team leader and for a strategy based on your company's needs. Some agencies will give you a generic template they use for all new business, and others will meet with you face-to-face to discuss the strategy.
Although I don't provide custom proposals any longer, I still meet with the prospective client to discuss their objectives and verbalize the strategy to ensure we are the right fit and I can provide value. If they're based in another city or country and I can't meet them, then I will schedule a series of Skype meetings to make sure we all feel comfortable working together.
4). When you're scouting different PR firms, you want to consider the size of the firm. The bigger the firm, the bigger the monthly retainer will be. If you have a $3,000 per month budget, you may want to considering a PR consultant or a smaller boutique firm that specializes in media relations and in your industry only.
However, it's important to note that if a boutique firm has two or three people on the team but offers 10 different services like event production/runway show production, video production, graphic design, social media marketing, branding, media relations, celebrity placement, influencer marketing, email marketing, and digital advertising, then it's safe to say that those in the firm aren't experts in all areas. I'd question how proficient they really are.
As someone who owns a boutique PR firm with a very small team, I know from experience that we can only have expertise in two or three core areas. We only offer services in media relations, branding, and retail sales strategy. And here at FemFounder.co, we only offer media relations and branding strategy services.
If you decide to go with a mid-to-large sized firm, then you'll pay at least $15,000 per month. So you need to decide what your objectives are and the resources you need.

Chicago Courthouse | Anna and Bobby
Their Story
Bobby and Anna met each other at a conference while Anna was waiting for the rain to pass so she could make her way back to her hotel. Her feet were throbbing from wearing high-heels all night. We all know that feeling. When your feet hurt SO bad you can't fathom torturing them any longer. After taking her shoes off there was no chance that her feet were getting back into them. So what did Bobby do? He carried her and her shoes in the pouring rain. After that, the rest is history. They managed to fall in love whilst living states away from each. Bobby moved to Chicago five weeks ago and they got married just two weeks ago.

In honor of St. Patrick's Day and my Irish heritage I offer a flashback piece that details one of my favorite memories from my visit to Ireland four and a half years ago.
July 2016
Certainly one of the more intriguing sites I've seen thus far in Ireland is the way the dogs and cats move about town. Saturday morning I was driving down Marks St. with Kit when I noted a small, black and white dog walking at a clip down the sidewalk. I watched as his four legs moved him purposefully down the block. From my vantage point it was clear that this dog had a destination in mind.
We turned the corner and were stunned to see that our four-legged friend was still walking just ahead of us, except that he was now making his way spritely down the street...in the bike lane. I laughed out loud as I watched him cross over by way of the crosswalk to the next intersection.
He stopped at the corner to assess the situation before heading across the street. We held a collective breath as we saw he was crossing against the red. No matter, all was fine. The little guy looked left and met eyes with the oncoming car, which in turn slowed down to let him cross. And then he was gone, marching down the street and out of sight onto what we'll never know.

Why Private Remedies for Environmental Torts Under the Alien Tort Statute Should Not Be Constrained by the Judicially Created Doctrines of Jus Cogens and Exhaustion
The spread of multinational corporations with subsidiaries conducting operations in far-flung locales with reduced or nonexistent legal protections has been a continuing global trend. These entities may be headquartered in countries with well-developed legal standards and environmental protections, but many of the jurisdictions where they conduct activities with significant risk of environmental harm tend to have weak environmental standards, and may not have legal infrastructure to support local plaintiffs' claims within the jurisdiction. However, there may be avenues for these plaintiffs to find relief in federal courts, using an obscure provision of the Federal Judiciary Act of 1789: the Alien Tort Statute (ATS). This "rediscovered" statute has sparked significant levels of tort litigation in federal courts in the last thirty years and, with the recent case Sarei v. Rio Tinto, PLC, is being applied to environmental torts alleged to violate developing customary international law standards. Opening federal courts for plaintiffs to seek relief for torts committed outside the United States seems fraught with peril, and to date courts applying the ATS have applied several prudential judicial doctrines to avoid or limit ATS litigation.
This Comment argues that the fine line between judicial prudence and allowing plaintiffs to proceed within the zone of jurisdiction granted by the Statute can be realized without applying jus cogens and exhaustion, since other doctrines, such as the act of the state, forum non conveniens, and the political question doctrine, can still achieve substantially the same goals.

Today, I've started a training session called "Designing a Book," which something I've very interested. Truthfully, I'm interested in anything that has to do with publication layouts such as books, magazines and (not so much) newspapers. Books especially.
In lesson 1 "Getting Started," I got a rundown of the different parts of a book, like the Front Matter, Body Matter and End Matter. The Front Matter usually consists of title page, copyright page, dedication, table of contents, forward, preface, etc. The Body Matter contains the main part of the book that can be divided into parts, sections or chapters. The End Matter is usually optional but can contain a glossary, bibliography of sources and/or index page.
In lesson 2 I worked on how to set up the document so that I could start placing the text.rtf for the novel. I used the text from the story Alice's Adventures in Wonderland because of how universal and classical the literature is.
I started with a blank document without ant margins, then uses a placeholder text to fill both pages before formatting my margins how I wanted them.
I then added a text field above the left page to serve as a header for the title of the book.
In the above image, I added a text field to the left of my outside margin on the left page to insert page number. By selecting both the "page number" field and "title" field I option+clicked dragged these two field to the right page, and reversed the two fields so that I would have a copy. I then deleted the "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" title and inserted a running header so that the title of the chapter would show up on the right page instead.
When laying out a book, the client may find issues with text in the line of the page. In order to make it easier for me to make changes, the client can simply tell me which line the issue was in and I can go change it. However, I first need to create these numbered lines by adding another layer to the document that is NOT printable in the "Layers" panel. I then created a column of returns along the outside margins along with a numbered list to represent each line of text.
