son and heir apparent of
the Kings of France, who bore, marshalled with the arms of FRANCE--_Or,
a Dolphin az._ This title of "Dauphin" was first assumed by CHARLES V.,
who succeeded to the Crown of France in 1364. In No. 8 I have shown
after what manner the Dolphin was represented by an ancient Greek
Artist: in the Middle Ages the heraldic Dolphin appeared as in No. 163.
GEFFREY DE LUCY (H. 3) bears--_Gu., three Lucies or._ On his marriage
with the heiress of ANTHONY, Lord LUCY, in 1369, HENRY, fourth Lord
PERCY of Alnwick, quartered these three fish, with his own lion (blue on
a golden field) and his fusils (gold on a blue field), upon the
well-known Shield of the Earls of NORTHUMBERLAND (Chapter XI).
[Illustration: No. 163.--Dolphin.]
[Illustration: No. 165.--Escallop.]
[Illustration: No. 164.--De Lucy.]
Another Carlaverock Banneret, ROBERT DE SCALES, whom the chronicler
declares to have been both "handsome and amiable" as well as gallant in
action, had "_six escallops of silver on a red banner_." This beautiful
charge of the escallop, happy in its association with the pilgrims of
the olden time, and always held in high esteem by Heralds, is generally
drawn as in No. 165.
Reptiles and Insects occur but rarely in English Heraldry. Bees, Flies,
Butterflies, and Snails are sometimes found, but they have no place in
the earliest Rolls of Arms. Bees, as might be expected, appear in the
Arms of _Bees_ton. _Azure, three Butterflies_, are the Arms of MUSCHAMP,
and they are carved twice in the vaulting of the cloisters at
Canterbury. Upon a monumental brass in the Church of Wheathampstead, in
Hertfordshire, the Shield of HUGO BOSTOCK (about A.D. 1435)
bears,--_Arg., three Bats, their wings displayed, sa._
Imaginary and Fabulous Beings, some of them the creations of heraldic
fancy when in a strangely eccentric mood, frequently appear as
Supporters; and, in some cases, they take a part in the blazonry of
Shields, or they are borne independently as Badges. A very brief
description (all that is necessary) of the greater number of these
monsters of _un_natural history will be given in the "Glossary of
heraldic terms," in Chapter X.; consequently, it is enough here merely
to refer to them as having a place in blazon. The Griffin or Gryphon,
the most worthy of the group, is comparatively common. The Dragon and
the Wivern or Wyvern, both of them winged monsters, differ in this
respect, that the former has four legs, while the latter has two only.
In early blazon this distinction was not always observed. The
Cockatrice, always having two legs, is a Wyvern with a cock's head.
Natural Objects of all kinds are blazoned as Charges of Heraldry, and
they will be found described and illustrated in their proper places in
Chapter X. They include the _Sun_, the _Moon_, the _Stars_; also such
terrestrial objects as _Trees_, _Flowers_, _Fruits_, _Sheaves and Ears
of Corn_, _Leaves_, _Chaplets_, _&c._ And with these Charges I may group
the always beautiful Fleur de Lys, and the Trefoil, Quatrefoil,
Cinquefoil, and Sixfoil.
Of the various Artificial Figures and Devices that Heralds have charged
upon Shields of Arms, it will be unnecessary for me to give detailed
descriptions, except when either the heraldic name may require
explanation, or some special circumstances connected with any particular
figure or device may impart to it peculiar claims for attention. Again I
refer to the "Glossary" for notices and examples of all Charges of this
class--Annulets, Buckles, Castles, Crowns, Cups, Horseshoes, Keys,
Knots, Sickles, Stirrups, Trumpets, and many others.
[Illustration: No. 166A.--Crescent]
[Illustration: No. 166B.--Increscent]
[Illustration: No. 166C.--Decrescent]
In blazoning Charges of various classes, Heralds employ _appropriate
Epithets and descriptive Terms_, of which the following are
characteristic examples:--The _Sun_ is "_in splendour_." The _Moon_,
when full, is "_in her complement_": she is a "_Crescent_" when she
appears in No. 166, A: she is "_Increscent_" when as in No. 166, B: and
she is "_Decrescent_" when as in No. 166, C. Animals and Birds of prey
are said to be "_armed_" of their talons, teeth, and claws. All horned
animals, also, except Stags and Antelopes, are "_armed_" of their horns;
and a Cock is "_armed_" of his spurs; whilst Griffins and birds of prey
are "_armed_" of their beaks and claws (_i.e._ the part of the leg which
is unfeathered). Animals are "_hoofed_" or "_unguled_" of their hoofs;
and "_langued_" of their tongues. Fierce animals are "_vorant_" of their
prey, when represented in the act of devouring it. Deer, when reposing,
are "_lodged_" Nos. 25 and 26: when standing, and looking out from the
Shield, No. 167, "_at gaze_": when in easy motion, they are termed
"_trippant_," or sometimes the word "_tripping_" is substituted, No.
168: and when in rapid motion, they are "_courant_," "_at speed_," or
sometimes described as "_in full course_," No. 169. The male Stag is
sometimes termed a "_Hart_," and the female a "_Hind_." There is really
a distinction between the Buck and the Stag, but it is very usually
disregarded in Heraldry. The antlers of the Hart are "_Attires_," their
branches are "_Tynes_"; and they are said to be "_attired_" of their
antlers. A Stag's head full-faced, but without the neck, as No. 170, is
"_cabossed_" or "_caboshed_."
[Illustration: No. 167.--At Gaze.]
[Illustration: No. 169.--At Speed.]
[Illustration: No. 168.--Tripping.]
[Illustration: No. 170.--Stag's Head Cabossed.]
Eagles and Hawks with expanded wings, as in No. 206, are "_displayed_."
Expanded wings may be "_elevated_," or, if drooping, "_inverted_" or
"_in lure_." Birds about to take wing are "_rising_"; when in flight,
they are "_volant_"; when at rest, they are "_close_." A Bird
"_trusses_" its prey. A Peacock having its tail expanded is "_in its
pride_"; and this same expression is applied to the Turkey. A Pelican,
when feeding its young, is said to be "_in her piety_," but may be
merely "_vulning herself_" if the young are not represented. A Swan,
when blazoned "_proper_," is white with red legs and black beak.
Fish, represented swimming in fesse, are "_naiant_"; if they are in
pale, they are "_hauriant_," No. 164; but if their heads are to the
base, the term "_urinant_" is said to apply, but I cannot say I have so
far come across an authenticated instance of the use of this word; if
their bodies are bent, as the Dolphin is generally represented, they are
"_embowed_," No. 163. Fish, also, are said to be "_finned_" of their
fins. Insects are "_volant_." Reptiles are "_gliding_"; or, if they are
twined into knots, "_nowed_." Trees of mature growth are "_accrued_";
when with leaves, "_in foliage_" (but these two terms are so seldom used
that they may be entirely disregarded); with fruit or seeds, "_fructed_"
or "_seeded_"; if without leaves, "_blasted_"; and if their roots are
exposed, "_eradicated_." Branches or leaves torn off are "_slipped_."
The terms which denote the attitudes of Lions, all of them described in
the next chapter, are equally applicable to other animals. Some other
descriptive terms, not noticed here, will be found in the "Glossary" in
Chapter X.
_The Lion and the Eagle in Heraldry_
"The LION and a King of Beasts."
--SHAKESPEARE, _Richard II._
"The EAGLE, ennobled by Nature in as high a degree of nobility as
the chiefest of the terrestrial animals, is the most honourable
bearing of Birds."
--GWILLIM (_Edition of 1724_).
The regal dignity of the LION amongst the creatures that are quadrupeds,
like himself, would naturally secure for him a position of corresponding
eminence in Heraldry. From the dawn of the heraldic era, accordingly,
the Lion is blazoned on the Shields of Sovereigns, Princes, and Nobles.
The tressured Lion has been already noticed upon the Royal Shield of
SCOTLAND, No. 138; and a crowned Lion has also appeared in the same
attitude, borne by an English Prince, RICHARD, Earl of CORNWALL, No.
140. From the time that they first possessed any true armorial insignia,
the Sovereigns of the Realm of ENGLAND have borne Lions upon their Royal
Shield. A Lion was the Ensign of the Native Princes of WALES, as he was
of the Kings of LEON, of NORWAY, and of DENMARK, and of the Counts of
HOLLAND, HAINAULT, EU, &c. And, in like manner, the Lion was in high
favour with the most noble and powerful Barons of England--the MOWBRAYS,
BOHUNS, LONGESPEES, FITZ-ALANS, LACIES, PERCIES, SEGRAVES, and such as
It was a necessary consequence of his great popularity that the Lion of
Heraldry should be blazoned in various attitudes, and also variously
tinctured, otherwise it would not be possible duly to distinguish the
Lions of different Shields. Heralds of all countries appear readily to
have permitted their Lions to lay aside their natural tawny hue, and in
its stead to assume the heraldic _or_, _argent_, _azure_, _gules_, and
_sable_; but Continental Heralds were not generally disposed to
recognise in their Lions any other attitude than the one which they held
to be consistent with their Lion character, instincts, and
habits--erect, that is, with one hind paw only on the ground, looking
forward towards their prey, so as to show but one eye, and evidently in
the act of preparing to spring. This undoubtedly most characteristic
attitude is _rampant_, No. 171: and only when he was in this rampant
attitude did the early Heralds consider any Lion to be a Lion, and
blazon him by his true name. A Lion walking and looking about him, the
early Heralds held to be acting the part of a leopard: consequently,
when he was in any such attitude, they blazoned him as "_a leopard_."
The animal bearing that name bore it simply as an heraldic title, which
distinguished a Lion in a particular attitude. These heraldic "leopards"
were drawn in every respect as other heraldic "lions," without spots or
any leopard_ish_ distinction whatever. This explains the usage, retained
till late in the fourteenth century, which assigned to the Lions of the
Royal Shield of England the name of "leopards." They were so called, not
by the enemies of England for derision and insult, as some persons, in
their ignorance of early Heraldry, have been pleased both to imagine and
to assert; but the English Kings and Princes, who well knew their
"Lions" to be Lions, in blazon styled them "leopards," because they also
knew that Lions in the attitude of their "Lions" were heraldic
"leopards." When at length the necessity of varying the attitude of
their Lions was admitted by all Heralds, in consequence of the greatly
increased numbers of the bearers of Lions, some strict adherents to the
original distinctive nomenclature blazoned any Lion that was _not
rampant_ by the compound term of a "_lion-leopard_," or a
"_lion-leopardé_." But that controversy has long been at rest.
The following terms are now in use to denote the various attitudes of
the Lion in Heraldry:--
_Rampant_: erect, one hind paw on the ground, the other three paws
elevated, the animal looking forward and having his tail elevated, No.
171. _Rampant Guardant_: as before, but looking out from the Shield, No.
172. _Rampant Reguardant_: as before, but looking backwards.
_Passant_: walking, three paws on the ground, the dexter fore-paw being
elevated, looking forward, the tail displayed over the back, No. 173.
_Passant Guardant_: as before, but looking out from the Shield, No. 174.
_Passant Reguardant_: as before, but looking backwards.
[Illustration: No. 171.--Rampant.]
[Illustration: No. 172.--Rampant Guardant.]
[Illustration: No. 173.--Passant.]
[Illustration: No. 174.--Passant Guardant.]
[Illustration: No. 175.--Statant.]
[Illustration: No. 176.--Statant Guardant.]
_Statant_: standing, his four paws on the ground, and looking before
him, No. 175. _Statant Guardant_: as before, but looking out from the
Shield, No. 176: in this example the Lion has his tail extended, but
this would be specified in the blazon, as it is an unusual position. In
like manner, if the tail of a Lion in any other attitude be extended,
there must be a statement to that effect.
[Illustration: No. 177.--Couchant.]
[Illustration: No. 178.--Sejant.]
[Illustration: No. 179.--Dormant.]
_Sejant_: sitting down with his head elevated, No. 178. If he looks out
from the Shield, the word _Guardant_

Contesting a Will Is No Easy Feat
Posted on Wednesday, July 18, 2018 Share
When it comes to executing a will, many people worry unnecessarily that their wills might be contested.
In fact, wills are seldom contested and even when they are, challenges rarely succeed. One of the most difficult claims is that the decedent had been unduly influenced, or pressured, by someone with a vested interest in the contents of the will.
Simply put, undue influence is concerned with how dependent the decedent was on another person at the time of the execution of the will. Did the person take advantage of that dependency?
Not All Influence is Excessive
The case of a Wisconsin family is typical of many will contests.
Zoura Drexler left her entire estate to one of her two children, Albert Horlacher. Several of Mrs. Drexler's acquaintances, including physicians, an attorney, a neighbor and a household cleaning person, all testified that she had been competent.
The daughter who was excluded from the will, Barbara Horlacher, called in a medical expert who had reviewed her mother's medical records. But the expert had never examined, met or treated the decedent.
The court ruled that Mrs. Drexler had not been subjected to undue influence.
According to the court, the evidence showed that Drexler had sound reasons for excluding her daughter from the will: "Drexler believed that Barbara had been adequately provided for by her father's estate, and was concerned that Barbara would dissipate anything she received. Further, Barbara had been insolent to Drexler, telling Drexler that she could not wait for her to die so she could inherit her estate."
The daughter appealed and attempted to introduce into evidence her brother's psychiatric records. That failed and the appeals court affirmed that although the son had financial power of attorney, he used the power "very, very carefully, very scrupulously, very infrequently and for very minor matters."
The case illustrates that family members frequently influence each other and the behavior is not always considered excessive.(Horlacher v. Drexler, Wisconsin Ct. of Appeals, Dist. II, 5/7/03)
To test for undue influence, courts generally look for:
Evidence of control sufficient to have forced the decedent to do something extraordinary.
Evidence of fraud.
Threats of misrepresentations.
Physical or moral coercion.
The burden of proof is ordinarily on the person challenging the will, as courts assume that properly executed wills are valid. However, if one beneficiary benefits greatly from the will and presses the court to approve it, the burden of proof may switch, forcing the person to prove that undue influence did not exist.
Most states require a high burden of proof in these cases and, because undue influence is almost always done in private, it can be difficult to show acts that can produce a successful challenge. Moreover, it is generally accepted that family, colleagues and neighbors regularly influence people, and that such influence is not necessarily inordinate.
Challengers do, however, have one advantage -- they can generally supply circumstantial evidence to support their cases. Some factors courts may consider are:
A hasty execution of the will.
Concealment of a new will.
Active involvement of a beneficiary in securing a new will, such as making appointments, preparing the forms, and answering questions.
Inconsistency between the new will and previous estate plans.
Provisions in the will that don't match family relationships and attitudes of the decedent.
The decedent's susceptibility to undue influence.
The weakened condition of the decedent.
A "confidential relationship" such as a power of attorney, close family connection or fiduciary relationship.
The fact the decedent was dependent on and placed trust in a beneficiary.
A beneficiary who benefits substantially from the will.
One, or even several, of these elements won't automatically invalidate a will, but the cumulative effect may provide enough evidence for a challenge.
To help ensure an ironclad will: Find legal help in executing your estate plan, particularly if you are concerned about a challenge to your will. Once your estate planning attorney properly prepares a will, don't worry unnecessarily about someone successfully contesting it.

Parking the car....
Joe and Joan were sitting down to their usual morning cup of coffee listening to the weather report on the radio. "There will be 3 to 5 inches of snow today, and a snow emergency has been declared," the weather report said.
"You must park your cars on the odd numbered side of the streets."
Joe said, "Jeez, okay," and got up from his coffee.
The next day they were sitting down with their morning cups of coffee. The weather forecast was, "There will be 2 to 4 inches of snow today, and a snow emergency has been declared.
You must park your cars on the even numbered side of the streets." Again Joe replied, "Jeez, okay," and got up from his coffee.
Two days later, again they're sitting down with their cups of coffee and the weather forecast said, "There will be 6 to 8 inches of snow today, and a snow emergency has been declared. You must park your cars on the..." and the power went out and Joe didn't get the rest of the instructions.
He turned to Joan, "Jeez, what am I going to do now, Joan?"
Joan replied, "Aw, Joe, just leave the car in the darned garage today."

One night, a man on his way home happened upon a drunk, down on his hands and knees searching for something under a street light. The man asked the drunk what he was looking for so diligently and the drunk said he had tripped and his Rolex wrist watch had broken loose from his wrist. The man, being a kindhearted soul, got down on his hands and knees and began assisting the drunk looking for his watch. After about ten minutes without any success, the man asked the drunk exactly where he tripped. "About a half a block up the street," the drunk said. "Why, pray tell," the man asked the drunk, "are you looking for your watch here if you lost it a half a block up the street?" The drunk replied, "The light is a lot better here."

Bee in band class...
The summer band class was just getting under way when a large insect flew into the room. The Sixth Graders, eager to play their shiny new instruments, tried to ignore the buzzing intruder, but eventually one student, Tommy, could stand it no longer. He rolled up his music book and swatted the insect, then he stomped on it to ensure its demise.
"Is it a bee?" another student asked.
"Nope," Tommy replied. "Bee flat."
Business one-liners 04A good scapegoat is hard to find.

A good solution can be successfully applied to almost any problem.
A lack of leadership is no substitute for inaction.

Welcome to the next article in my Modeling Without Money series.
I get so many emails from aspiring models telling me that money is the only thing holding them back. Because of that, I decided to write a whole series of articles to crush that limiting belief of yours.
You do not need money to be a model.
This is a lie you are telling yourself because you are either scared to start and go for it, afraid of what people may think of you or you just don't want to put in the extra work.
You can break into the modeling industry on your own!
Reread the above sentence out loud to yourself one more time.
The only person holding you back is usually yourself.
Now let's get started.
Many of you may know what "digitals" are, but if you don't, pay attention.
As a model manager I get sent thousands of photos from models and aspiring models. The problem is, some of you know what you're doing, but most of you don't.
Have you ever sent your photos to a modeling agency or manager and never got a response? Well, there can be many reasons why agencies don't respond, one of the biggest is based on the 'digitals' they have received from you.
"Digitals" are unedited, raw photos of a model.
They are best taken against a white background in natural lighting.
Digitals are important for you and a model manager like myself to have on file.
Because I need to know what the model really looks like, and so does the brand or company that may want to book you. You also need to have an honest representation of what you look like on file.
For a better shot at getting signed with a manager or agency, start with taking some "do it yourself digitals". Even if you don't have a phone with a camera on it, you can borrow one of your friends. No excuses.
Here are some "do it yourself digitals" tips…
ONE: Find the best natural lighting in your home/office/friend's house. When I say natural lighting, I mean sunlight coming in through windows or skylights.
TWO: Wipe your face of all make-up. I want to see your real face not a cartoon-like image.
THREE: Dress appropriately for your model type. If you're a swimsuit model, wear a swimsuit. If you're a fashion model, skinny jeans and a tank top work well (HINT: Google "model digitals" to see examples).
FOUR: Have your friend, mom, boyfriend, girlfriend, or dog take your new awesome digitals with the natural light shining in front of you, not behind you. If you don't have anyone to take your photos, set the timer on your phone and go for it yourself. No excuses!
FIVE: Shoot one full length photo, one close up photo from the waist up, and one profile photo. Make sure to have at least 3 good shots, but no more than 4 or 5 for submissions. If your pictures are done right, and you're what the modeling agent is looking for, they'll reach out to you. No need to blow up there inbox with 10+ pictures! Less is more.
Please keep in mind these photos are meant to be submitted to agencies, they are not your permanent digitals. If an agency likes what they see and wants to bring you in, they'll take more digitals of you "in house" if they are interested.
SIX: Look exactly like you look in your digitals!!!!
No faking or lying about your look because if you're called in under false pretenses, you're wasting everyone's time. We want to see what you really look like!
If you're wearing make-up when you show up to the modeling agency, I have seen them make the models wash their face right then and there with make-up removers. I'm not saying to not wear a little make-up if you get called in, I'm just saying to be prepared to wash your face if they ask you too.
The one thing you never, ever, ever want to do is submit overly filtered photos.
Please for the love of God, stop submitting Snapchat filtered photos, or selfies looking trashy. No one wants to see that and they go straight to the trash. I'm actually annoyed that an aspiring model would not take the time to do research before submitting something like that. They've wasted their time, and mine.
Ok. Thats enough to get you started.
Now that you know how easy and free it is to take your own digitals, i'm excited to see what you all do! Although I may not be able to respond to everyone, I'd love to see your new digitals! If you're following @TheModelAdviser on Instagram, tag us in your photos and I'll comment if I can!

David Plouffe
|Senior Advisor to the President
January 10, 2011 - January 25, 2013
|Barack Obama
|David Axelrod
|Dan Pfeiffer
|Personal details
|May 27, 1967
Wilmington, Delaware, U.S.
|Political party
|Olivia Morgan
|University of Delaware, Newark (BA)
David Plouffe (; born May 27, 1967)[1][2] is an American political strategist best known as the campaign manager for Barack Obama's successful 2008 presidential campaign. A long-time Democratic Party campaign consultant, he was a partner at the party-aligned campaign consulting firm AKPD Message and Media, which he joined in 2000.[3]
Plouffe was an outside senior advisor to Obama since the president's first day in office and was then appointed as a Senior Advisor to the President (inside the White House) in 2011 following the resignation of David Axelrod, who went on to start Obama's reelection campaign.[4] In September 2014, he became the Senior Vice President of Policy and Strategy for Uber.[5]
In May 2015, he left that role to become a full-time strategic adviser for the company.[6] In January 2017, he joined the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative to lead the policy and advocacy efforts of the initiative.[7] In 2019, POLITICO reported he joined the Board of Directors of liberal nonprofit ACRONYM, where he would advise an anti-Trump digital campaign.[8][9]
Plouffe was born and raised in Wilmington, Delaware,[10] in a working class Roman Catholic family (he is now an Episcopalian),[11] the son of Frances (née Vincent), a stay-at-home mother, and James Everett "Jim" Plouffe, a factory worker who later worked in marketing.[12][13][14]
Plouffe attended St. Mark's High School. He left the University of Delaware prior to graduating in 1989 to pursue a full-time career in politics, and completed his full undergraduate degree in May 2010.[15]
Plouffe began his political career by working for Senator Tom Harkin's 1990 re-election campaign.[16] He later worked as a state field director for Harkin's unsuccessful 1992 Presidential campaign. In the same year he successfully managed Congressman John Olver's first re-election bid in Massachusetts. In 1994 Plouffe managed Delaware Attorney General Charles M. Oberly's unsuccessful campaign against Senator William V. Roth.
Plouffe was the campaign manager for Obama's successful 2008 presidential campaign. He is credited with the campaign's successful overall strategy in the race (primarily against then-Senator Hillary Clinton) for the Democratic Party presidential nomination, to focus on the first caucus in Iowa and on maximizing the number of pledged delegates, as opposed to focusing on states with primaries and the overall popular vote. He is also credited by The New Republic for Obama's success in the Iowa caucus and for crafting an overall strategy to prolong the primary past Super Tuesday. The Chicago Tribune writes, "Plouffe was the mastermind behind a winning strategy that looked well past Super Tuesday's contests on Feb. 5 and placed value on large and small states".[17] Plouffe also maintained discipline over communications, including controlling leaks and releasing information about the campaign on its terms. Averse to publicity himself, Plouffe's control over the internal workings of the campaign avoided the publicly aired squabbles that tend to trouble campaigns.[17]
In June 2008, when then-Senator Obama clinched the Democratic Party nomination, he thanked Plouffe for being the one "who never gets any credit, but has built the best political campaign, I think, in the history of the United States". In May 2008, David Axelrod praised Plouffe, stating he had "done the most magnificent job of managing a campaign that I've seen in my life of watching presidential politics. To start something like this from scratch and build what we have built was a truly remarkable thing".[18]
After winning the election on November 4, Obama credited Plouffe in his acceptance speech, calling him "the unsung hero of this campaign, who built the...best political campaign, I think, in the history of the United States of America".[19]
Plouffe went to work as an outside senior adviser to the Obama administration, in January 2009. His book The Audacity to Win: The Inside Story and Lessons of Barack Obama's Historic Victory, discussing management strategies and tactics that he used in the 2008 campaign,[20] was published on November 3, 2009, and became a New York Times bestseller.[]
He later issued a video challenge for Obama supporters to buy a copy of his book on December 8, 2009 to "Beat Sarah Palin" and her bestselling book for one day.[21][22]
Plouffe signed with the Washington Speakers Bureau to give paid speeches and plans to engage in non-government consulting work.[23]
In May 2009, Plouffe delivered the convocation address at Cornell University.[24]
In January 2011, Plouffe joined the White House as Assistant to the President and Senior Advisor. Plouffe replaced David Axelrod as Senior Advisor when Axelrod returned to Chicago to help run President Obama's 2012 re-election campaign.[25]
In his role as senior advisor, Plouffe led the crafting of White House strategy and communicating the president's message. He attended the president on his domestic and overseas visits, including the May 2011 state visit to the UK.[26]
After a successful reelection and inauguration of President Obama, Plouffe departed the White House in January 2013. During a national news event, on his final day in the White House, Plouffe was singled out by the president saying, "What people don't always realize, because he doesn't like to show it, is the reason he does this stuff is because he cares deeply about people. And he cares about justice, and he cares about making sure that everybody gets a shot in life. And, those values have motivated him to do incredible things, and were it not for him, we would not have been as effective a White House and I probably wouldn't be here."[27]
After leaving the White House in early 2013, Plouffe became a contributor for Bloomberg TV and ABC News.[28]
In April 2013, Plouffe was inducted into the American Association of Political Consultants Hall of Fame.[29]
In the summer of 2014, rumors circulated that Plouffe might return to the White House as Chief of Staff. On August 5, 2014, Plouffe denied he planned to return at a Politico Playbook lunch, and White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said he did not expect Chief of Staff Denis McDonough to depart.[30]
On August 19, 2014, Plouffe was appointed as Senior Vice President of Policy and Strategy at Uber.[31]
In January 2017, Plouffe was hired by Mark Zuckerberg to lead policy and advocacy at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. He'll lead a bipartisan policy board alongside Ken Mehlman where they'll announce policy members and work to find opportunities to work with the government.[32]
In September 2019, Plouffe was invited to join the board of directors of ACRONYM, a liberal nonprofit group focused on digital messaging, by the CEO Tara McGowan. He'll advise program work at ACRONYM as well as bolster the organization's fundraising efforts.[33]
Plouffe has drawn criticism for his paid speaking engagements abroad while on hiatus from advising Obama. In early 2009, Plouffe spoke in Baku, Azerbaijan, for $50,000. The event's sponsor had ties to Azerbaijan's authoritarian government. Following complaints from human rights groups, Plouffe donated his speaking fees to the National Democratic Institute.[34][35]
In December 2010, Plouffe received $100,000 for two speeches in Nigeria from an affiliate of the South African telecommunications company MTN Group. At the time, MTN had been doing business with the government of Iran since 2005. MTN later came under increased scrutiny by the United States due to allegations that the Iranian government used the MTN network to track and monitor dissidents. MTN has been listed on the "Iran Business Registry" of watchdog group United Against Nuclear Iran since 2009.[36] White House spokesman Eric Schultz stated that Plouffe had only spoken to the group about digital communications and cellular technology, and had declined to meet with the company's leadership. Schultz also said the criticism of Plouffe's speeches before he joined the White House was "misplaced".[37]
In 2013, in response to accusations from Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA) that the Obama administration knew about the IRS targeting of not-for-profit conservative groups for extra scrutiny, Plouffe tweeted: "Strong words from Mr Grand Theft Auto and suspected arsonist/insurance swindler. And loose ethically today", referring to two incidents in Issa's past. In 1972, while a teenager, Issa was accused of stealing a Maserati sports car; the charges were later dropped. In 1982, a Cleveland warehouse belonging to Issa burned to the ground. The fire was ruled suspicious and Issa collected an insurance payout, but he was not charged with any crime.[38][39][40][41][42][43]
In February 2017, Plouffe was fined $90,000 by the Chicago Board of Ethics for the violation of ethics rules when he failed to register as a lobbyist after contacting Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel to help Uber with regulations for picking up travelers at Chicago airports. The board also fined Uber $2,000 for hiring a lobbyist who violated the city's lobbying laws.[44]
Plouffe appeared on Race for the White House in the episode about the 1948 United States presidential election.
Plouffe is married to Olivia Morgan, a senior advisor to Maria Shriver's A Woman's Nation, a member of Obama's President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities,[45][46] and Director of Federal Relations to former California Governor Gray Davis.[47] The couple resides in San Francisco, and has two children.[48]

text: Hi, This is my first post so please forgive me if I ramble. Dads had mixed dementia for 5 years now. My Mum died in December last year and Dad has gone downhill since. He is, most of the time very happy in his own little world but his routine is key. He calls most things "snaps" and "Nat West" so we have to spend many an hour trying to figure out what he is referring to. He refuses to wash or shower and hasn't washed since June and no matter what I or anyone else says he just point blank refuses. He wont let anyone help him and has had a number of toileting accidents but still we cant get him clean himself. We had carers going in 3 times a day however my sister used to take him out while the carers were there a lot of the time for some reason so when she couldn't go round as much he decided he didn't need or want the carers in his house and used to either refuse them entry or throw the food they made for him away and was rude to them. We pay someone privately to do his cleaning and companionship for 3 hrs a day 5 days a week but she is having a baby in December so wont be around for a while. My Sister goes in once a day and does his tea... Well I call it tea but its just a few snacks really. He is unable to cook or make a cup of tea but can drink wine (we water it down so there's less than a glass full of actual wine in the bottle). He doesn't now want any of his grown up grandchildren to visit and only wants me and my two sister to visit. Two of us work and like an hours drive away and the other lives close to him and doesn't work. To my question (told you I might ramble, sorry) My sister that lives close to him refuses to speak or communicate with me or my other sister but has passed a message on through her daughter that she is not willing to continue to look after Dad once the cleaner goes on maternity. She has said she wants him in a home, (she even named the home) but doesn't want any involvement in the arrangements. My other sister and I both feel a care home would be the best thing for Dad but I know he will refuse as he keeps saying no one can make him leave his home. We will be self funding but I have spoken to his social worker and he has suggested that I don't tell him he is going into a care home and when we get there just have a cuppa with him then leave. This seems really cruel and I know he will hate me for it. I also know if I tell him somethings wrong with the house and he has to move out for a while he will refuse. I feel so guilty and it will all be down to me to sort and be the bad one that takes him and leaves him there. I just don't know the best way to deal with it. Anything I say to him he will just refuse. Any advice would be much appreciated

We have recommendations to the history of the car you can see on the Wikipedia. A car (or automobile) is a rolled car used for transportation. The majority of interpretations of car state they run mostly on roadways, seat one to eight people, have four tires, and primarily transport individuals as opposed to items. Cars and trucks entered worldwide use during the 20th century, as well as developed economic climates depend on them. The year 1886 is considered as the birth year of the contemporary car, when German developer Karl Benz developed his Benz Patent-Motorwagen. Cars and trucks did not come to be commonly offered up until the very early 20th century. One of the first automobiles that came to the masses was the 1908 Model T, an American car manufactured by the Ford Motor Firm. Cars and trucks were rapidly taken on in the United States, where they replaced animal-drawn carriages as well as carts, however took a lot longer to be approved in Western Europe and various other parts of the globe.|A car (or auto) is a rolled electric motor car used for transportation. The year 1886 is pertained to as the birth year of the modern-day car, when German inventor Karl Benz built his Benz Patent-Motorwagen. One of the very first autos that was accessible to the masses was the 1908 Version T, an American car produced by the Ford Motor Business.
History of Car
The very first functioning steam-powered automobile was designed– and also most likely developed– by Ferdinand Verbiest, a Flemish member of a Jesuit mission in China around 1672. It was a 65-cm-long scale-model plaything for the Chinese Emperor that was unable to carry a driver or a traveler. It is not known if Verbiest's version was ever constructed.
Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot is commonly credited with building the initial full-scale, self-propelled mechanical car or car in about 1769; he developed a steam-powered tricycle. He likewise built two heavy steam tractors for the French Army, one of which is maintained in the French National Sunroom of Arts and Crafts. His creations were, however, burdened by problems with water system as well as maintaining vapor pressure. In 1801, Richard Trevithick developed and demonstrated his Puffing Devil road locomotive, believed by numerous to be the initial presentation of a steam-powered roadway automobile. It was not able to keep adequate heavy steam stress for long periods, and also was of little useful usage.|Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot is widely credited with building the very first full-blown, self-propelled mechanical car or car in concerning 1769; he created a steam-powered tricycle. In 1801, Richard Trevithick constructed as well as demonstrated his Puffing Adversary road locomotive, thought by several to be the initial demonstration of a steam-powered road automobile.
The growth of outside combustion engines is detailed as part of the background of the car, however usually cured individually from the growth of true cars and trucks. A variety of steam-powered road cars were made use of throughout the first component of the 19th century, consisting of heavy steam automobiles, vapor buses, phaetons, as well as heavy steam rollers. Belief against them brought about the Engine Acts of 1865.
In 1807, Nicéphore Niépce and also his sibling Claude created what was possibly the world's very first interior burning engine (which they called a Pyréolophore), yet they preferred to install it in a boat on the river Saone in France. Coincidentally, in 1807 the Swiss developer François Isaac de Rivaz designed his own 'de Rivaz inner burning engine' and also used it to develop the globe's initial car to be powered by such an engine. The Niépces' Pyréolophore was sustained by a combination of Lycopodium powder (dried spores of the Lycopodium plant), carefully smashed coal dirt and material that were blended with oil, whereas de Rivaz used a combination of hydrogen and also oxygen. Neither design was extremely effective, as held true with others, such as Samuel Brown, Samuel Morey, and Etienne Lenoir with his hippomobile, who each created lorries (generally adjusted carriages or carts) powered by inner burning engines.|In 1807, Nicéphore Niépce as well as his sibling Claude created just what was most likely the globe's very first internal burning engine (which they called a Pyréolophore), yet they chose to install it in a boat on the river Saone in France. Coincidentally, in 1807 the Swiss innovator François Isaac de Rivaz made his very own 'de Rivaz internal burning engine' and utilized it to establish the globe's initial automobile to be powered by such an engine.
In November 1881, French inventor Gustave Trouvé demonstrated the very first working (three-wheeled) car powered by power at the International Exposition of Electricity, Paris. Although numerous other German engineers (consisting of Gottlieb Daimler, Wilhelm Maybach, and also Siegfried Marcus) were dealing with the issue at regarding the exact same time, Karl Benz usually is recognized as the creator of the modern-day car.
In 1879, Benz was provided a patent for his initial engine, which had been designed in 1878. A number of his various other creations made using the internal burning engine practical for powering an automobile. His first Motorwagen was built in 1885 in Mannheim, Germany. He was granted the patent for its creation as of his application on 29 January 1886 (under the auspices of his significant business, Benz & Cie., which was founded in 1883). Benz started promo of the car on 3 July 1886, and regarding 25 Benz cars were offered between 1888 as well as 1893, when his initial four-wheeler was introduced along with a model planned for cost. They also were powered with four-stroke engines of his very own layout. Emile Roger of France, already producing Benz engines under certificate, currently added the Benz car to his line of items. Because France was more open to the early autos, originally much more were constructed as well as sold in France through Roger than Benz offered in Germany. In August 1888 Bertha Benz, the better half of Karl Benz, took on the very first road trip by car, to verify the road-worthiness of her spouse's innovation.
In 1896, Benz designed and also patented the first internal-combustion flat engine, called boxermotor. During the ins 2015 of the 19th century, Benz was the biggest car company on the planet with 572 devices produced in 1899 and also, because of its dimension, Benz & Cie., ended up being a joint-stock company. The very first motor car in main Europe and also among the initial factory-made cars on the planet, was generated by Czech business Nesselsdorfer Wagenbau (later on relabelled to Tatra) in 1897, the Präsident automobil.
Daimler as well as Maybach established Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft (DMG) in Cannstatt in 1890, as well as offered their very first car in 1892 under the brand name Daimler. It was a horse-drawn stagecoach built by another producer, which they retrofitted with an engine of their design. By 1895 concerning 30 vehicles had been constructed by Daimler as well as Maybach, either at the Daimler works or in the Hotel Hermann, where they started a business after disputes with their backers. Benz, Maybach and the Daimler group appear to have been not aware of each various other's early job. They never collaborated; by the time of the merger of both firms, Daimler and also Maybach were not component of DMG. Daimler died in 1900 and later that year, Maybach designed an engine called Daimler-Mercedes that was put in a specifically purchased version built to specs set by Emil Jellinek. This was a production of a small number of vehicles for Jellinek to race as well as market in his nation. 2 years later on, in 1902, a brand-new design DMG car was produced and also the design was named Mercedes after the Maybach engine, which generated 35 hp. Maybach quit DMG quickly thereafter and opened up a company of his own. Rights to the Daimler brand were offered to various other suppliers.
Karl Benz proposed co-operation in between DMG as well as Benz & Cie. when economic conditions began to weaken in Germany following the First Globe War, but the supervisors of DMG refused to consider it initially. Settlements in between both companies resumed a number of years later on when these problems intensified as well as, in 1924 they authorized a Contract of Common Passion, legitimate up until the year 2000. Both ventures standard design, manufacturing, acquiring, as well as sales and also they promoted or marketed their car versions jointly, although maintaining their particular brand names. On 28 June 1926, Benz & Cie. and also DMG lastly combined as the Daimler-Benz firm, baptizing all its vehicles Mercedes Benz, as a brand name recognizing one of the most essential design of the DMG vehicles, the Maybach style later on described as the 1902 Mercedes-35 hp, along with the Benz name. Karl Benz continued to be a participant of the board of directors of Daimler-Benz until his death in 1929, and at times his 2 children also participated in the administration of the firm.
In 1890, Émile Levassor and also Armand Peugeot of France began producing cars with Daimler engines, and so laid the structure of the auto market in France. In 1891, Auguste Doriot as well as his Peugeot coworker Louis Rigoulot completed the longest journey by a gasoline-powered lorry when their self-designed and also constructed Daimler powered Peugeot Kind 3 completed 2,100 km (1,300 miles) from Valentigney to Paris as well as Brest and also back once again. They were attached to the first Paris– Brest– Paris bicycle race, but ended up 6 days after the winning cyclist, Charles Terront.
The initial style for an American car with a fuel internal combustion engine was made in 1877 by George Selden of Rochester, New york city. Selden looked for a license for a car in 1879, yet the patent application ran out due to the fact that the automobile was never ever constructed. After a delay of sixteen years and also a collection of accessories to his application, on 5 November 1895, Selden was provided an USA patent (U.S. License 549,160) for a two-stroke car engine, which prevented, greater than urged, advancement of vehicles in the United States. His license was tested by Henry Ford and also others, and also overturned in 1911.|The initial layout for an American car with a gasoline inner burning engine was made in 1877 by George Selden of Rochester, New York. After a hold-up of sixteen years as well as a series of attachments to his application, on 5 November 1895, Selden was given a United States patent (UNITED STATE License 549,160) for a two-stroke car engine, which prevented, more than encouraged, advancement of automobiles in the United States.
In 1893, the first operating, gasoline-powered American car was built and also road-tested by the Duryea bros of Springfield, Massachusetts. The initial public run of the Duryea Motor Wagon happened on 21 September 1893, on Taylor Street in Metro Facility Springfield. The Studebaker Car Business, subsidiary of a long-established wagon and also trainer manufacturer, began to construct vehicles in 1897 [30]:p.66 and commenced sales of electrical automobiles in 1902 and also gasoline cars in 1904.|In 1893, the first operating, gasoline-powered American car was constructed and also road-tested by the Duryea bros of Springfield, Massachusetts.

In Britain, there had been a number of attempts to construct vapor vehicles with differing levels of success, with Thomas Rickett also attempting a production run in 1860. Santler from Malvern is identified by the Professional Car Club of Great Britain as having actually made the very first gasoline-powered car in the nation in 1894, [33] adhered to by Frederick William Lanchester in 1895, but these were both one-offs. The first production lorries in Wonderful Britain came from the Daimler Business, a firm established by Harry J. Lawson in 1896, after acquiring the right to use the name of the engines.

In 1892, German engineer Rudolf Diesel was granted a patent for a "New Rational Combustion Engine". In 1897, he built the very first diesel engine. Vapor-, electrical-, and gasoline-powered automobiles contended for years, with gasoline inner combustion engines attaining supremacy in the 1910s.

Mariners no longer sleepless in Seattle
The Seattle Mariners are in the midst of a lengthy playoff drought that has seen the franchise disappoint fans on a yearly basis, but 2016 appears to be a change that has awoken a sleeping giant from its never-ending slumber. The disappointment in the Pacific Northwest is only outweighed by the misty weather and no NBA team that calls Seattle home.
Last season was supposed to be a coming out party for the Mariners, and many analysts had them making it into the playoffs with a deep run. The team failed to live up to those expectations though, which forced the franchise to do a front office rebuild that could push Seattle back into the postseason. The offseason additions of general manager Jerry Dipoto and manager Scott Servais were something that many questioned because of Servais' lack of managerial experience, but they are the reason why Seattle has had so much success in 2016 and currently sit in first place in the American League West.
What are some of the other factors that have the Mariners poised to end their postseason drought? None other than a strength from the 2014 season but a weakness last season–the pitching staff. And another is their success away from Safeco Field.
In 2014, the Mariners' pitching staff was ranked as the second best unit in all of Major League Baseball. As a unit, they posted an 87-75 record with a collective 3.17 ERA and 1.17 WHIP, while also compiling a 8.16 K/9 ratio. The pitching staff also put together almost a 3:1 walks to strikeouts ratio, which is a damn good feat as a team.
Then came the overhyped 2015 season that many thought would put the Mariners back on the MLB map–or not. The team's pitchers struggled and Seattle finished 12 games out of the AL West lead behind the Texas Rangers. Pitchers allowed 181 home runs after only allowing 137 in 2014, and the unit's earned run average jumped from 3.17 to 4.16 along with a 1.17 WHIP increasing to 1.31. The unit went from being one of the best to one of the worst in baseball, and there were many questions surrounding the unit as the team entered spring training in 2016.
Alas, the Mariners are once again in the top-five for pitching staffs, and the bullpen has become a consistent and reliable reason why Seattle is leading the division by 1.5 games over the Rangers. An SB Nation article shows how effective the bullpen has been this season, and there are several new faces to thank for the success. Players like Joel Peralta (4.96 ERA), Tony Zych (14.25 K/9) and Joaquin Benoit (.083 BABIP) are a reason why the club is facing greater success this season. And Seattle also has a closer in Steve Cishek (11 saves/14 opportunities), who has been much more reliable than ex-Mariners closer Fernando Rodney and has a higher strikeout rate as well.
Adding to a successful bullpen has been the team's success on the road. The Mariners are 15-7 on the road (8-10 at home), and just took two out of three games from the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards where the O's are now 17-8. Seattle now heads to the hitter-friendly home of the Cincinnati Reds who are currently riding a four-game losing streak. If Seattle's bats continue to show up like they have so far this season, the Mariners' will have the opportunity to provide plenty of run support for a starting pitching staff that has been the weakest link in 2016.
If Felix Hernandez (3-3, 2.47 ERA) and Hisashi Iwakuma (1-4, 4.38 ERA) begin to play like they were in 2014, the AL West race could be over shortly after the All-Star break. Regardless of that happening, the Mariners will be buyers at the trade deadline and should be able to end their long-standing playoff drought.

As human beings, we are the result of several characteristics, such as reason, intellect, emotionality. All of them are written in our genetics and they develop, change and grow during our life, influenced by the socio-cultural environment in which we live.
However, the debate about whether humans and other animals inherit their behavioural abilities or they acquire them through learning is still open in the scientific community. It has been argued that behaviour always develops under combined control of both genes and environment. How much of what we are is genetic, and how much of it is the result of personal experience?
According to the theory of evolution, both experience and genes influence social behaviour. Each individual's behavioural abilities and inclinations are determined by his or her unique patterns of neural activity, which include thoughts, feelings, memories and emotions. The interaction between the patterns of neural activity and the interpretation of the current situation take part in the resulting behaviour. Additionally the set of values and beliefs inherited from family, society and culture system influence our way of thinking and adaptability to the situations.
If we adopt a holistic view of the human being as a person endowed with talents, abilities, skills and unique characteristics, we need to emphasize some of the most important traits in people: the personal strengths. They are the positive character traits and the enduring peculiarities in the individual, even though they are mutable in response to environmental factors. Along with the talents and the personality traits, they are what distinguishes us as human beings and each one from another.
Our cultural approach leads us to focus on our weaknesses and what needs to be fixed. As we turn our attention to these aspects, we miss taking into account an important part of ourselves: the strengths, the state of being strong. C. Peterson, one of the founding fathers of positive psychology, and M. Seligman, psychologist and avid promoter for that field, believe that "character strengths are the bedrock of the human condition and that strength-congruent activity represents an important route to the psychological good life". They describe the powerful relationship between strengths and well-being, comparing the former to the inner tools needed to leverage ourselves in order to accomplish our goals, become more resilient and face the adversity of reality.
Gaining awareness of our own strengths is like discovering our resourcefulness as a person, which in turn leads to the capacity to recover, reclaim and transform our own life.
How can we identify strengths? A good approach can be looking at some of the most important aspects of our lives.
- Environmental
Look around you, where you live, work or spend a significant amount of time.
- Interests/aspirations
Think of activities you enjoy doing.
- Talents
We express talents in activities or situations where we feel comfortable, where we show a natural attitude or where we feel we achieve our goals effortlessly.
- Personal qualities / characteristics
These are the details that define us the most, like having a sense of humour or strength under pressure, being reliable, caring, hopeful, honest, hard-working, kind, patient, sensitive, easy to talk to, generous, willing to stand up for the underdog or friendly – these qualities (and others) are natural and renewable resources.
Each one of these aspects reveals something about the way we express our inner strengths. Having a strengths-based perspective means believing that the strengths and resources to resolve a difficult situation lie within the person's interpersonal skills, motivation, intellectual and emotional strengths, as well as environmental opportunities. The focus is on the individual's strengths rather than deficits and the external reality is viewed as an oasis of resources.
Everyone has the capacity to learn, grow and change. The growth's process is based on and inspired by our own individual interests, aspirations and strengths. Those who are able to identify their strengths uses the resources of their family and community to succeed in life; they tend to spend time doing things they do well, that have meaning for them and that they enjoy. A focus on strengths enhances people's motivation while a focus on a person's deficits enhances feelings of hopelessness and depression.
"All people possess a wide range of talents, abilities, capacities, skills, resources and aspirations. No matter how little or how much may be expressed at one time, a belief in human potential is tied to the notion that people have untapped, undetermined reservoirs of mental, physical, emotional, social and spiritual abilities that can be expressed. The presence of this capacity for continued growth and heightened well-being must be accorded the respect that this power deserves. This capacity acknowledges both the being and the becoming aspects of life" Rapp, C 1998

Facebook Fatigue
OK...so I know I could sound like a boring fool....but that has never stopped me before.
Facebook... ok...so I am getting a bit bored with all the Sheep and Cows, Mafia Wars, Fun Toys, Roses...and other associated virtual garbage I get sent on an hourly basis and that has to be waded thro to get at any real news of friends...and I mean friends...not FRIENDS ( the 64 people who I have for some strange reason decided to be FRIENDS with...most of whom I have NO idea who are).....who rightly should be called "potential contacts".
These potential contacts may have more time on line than I do to send these dodgy images of 2D gifts, and I understand that it is amusing and getting a sheep made me smile the first time...but...
I am now drowning as some of these potential contacts use Facebook as a mass networking/spamming medium and WHY anyone in their right minds calls this Social Networking is totally beyond me. There seems absolutely nothing social about it at all, and does Networking = spamming???
...and, really, who has 600 real friends???.......not me obviously...:))
I guess I'm tired and grouchy but.... thats never stopped me...

This is a wonderful meal reminiscent of Central American beans and rice plates. It's perfect for hot summer evenings because it's filling but not heavy, with its layers and layers of different flavours, some meaty, some refreshing, some tangy.

Botswana state-owned Botswana Oil says it will select, by December, a company to build and operate a $4-billion coal-to-liquids (CTL) plant, a facility that is capable of meeting as much as 80 percent of the country's fuel demand.
The oil firm received 11 bids in August from a tender process and is subjecting them to "highly technical assessments," its spokesperson Matilda Mmipi is reported to have said on Tuesday.
The coal-gas to liquids project, if implemented, will ensure the security of supply of petroleum products for Botswana as the country will be able to produce its own fuel to augment what it imports," Mmipi said, estimating national fuel demand at 1.2-billion litres a year.
Some other demands will be met with renewable energy, including biomass and bio-diesel projects, she added.
The Southern Africa country is seeking to diversify its economy away from diamonds, its biggest export, and reduce its reliance on fuel from neighbouring South Africa, which supplies more than 90% of demand, leaving the country vulnerable to shortages in the event of labour strikes.
The country is also trying to take advantage of its more than 212-billion metric tons of estimated coal reserves.
Botswana produces about three-million tons of coal a year, nearly all of which is consumed by domestic power plants. Plans to export the mineral have been frustrated by the lack of a viable route for the landlocked country.

How Can Your Hiring Stay Competitive With Larger Companies?
Big companies can attract talent with generous compensation packages and amenities, but small businesses have a lot to offer job seekers too.
Instead of trying to go toe-to-toe with the offers of large multi-national corporations, small companies can share a bigger piece of the pie with employees. They can offer more authority and autonomy. They can offer a more relaxed working arrangement. And, small companies can also offer the possibility of growing a career as the company grows.
If your company is concerned about luring talent away from the 'big dogs', consider the following advantages your company has over its larger competition.
#1: More Authority and Autonomy
Because they are so large, big corporations tend to have a management structure that is wide and deep. Smaller companies tend to have a flatter structure and that means each person in the company has a great share of authority and autonomy.
The opportunity to have more responsibility and wear many different hats can be very appealing for professionals entering the middle or later stages of their career, especially those who feel frustrated by a massive corporate structure in their current job.
#2: Less Red Tape
When large companies first started out, they were still figuring out policies and as a result, they didn't have a very structured workplace. As these companies grew, the developed best practices, guidelines, and structures to maintain a high level of efficiency. This increased structure can make things a lot easier for management to handle, but it can be frustrating for employees.
At a smaller company, there are fewer practices in place; tighter interpersonal relationships help a company work through growing pains. Many professionals find a lack of guardrails on their job to be refreshing. It can be easier to enjoy your job when you don't feel like every aspect of it is being micromanaged.
Furthermore, the small company is more likely to offer flexible scheduling and remote work options. These work arrangements can be very appealing for people seeking an ideal work-life balance.
#3: Room to advance
Large companies have many great jobs. However, people often get into these jobs, realize they have a good thing going and don't ever leave. For people looking to get into one of these premium jobs, it can be frustrating to realize one of them won't open up unless somebody retires.
Small companies expand at a much greater rate than large companies and this expansion can mean room for advancement into desirable upper management positions. Many job seekers will be drawn to the possibility of advancement just a few years after getting hired.
#4: A share of the action
Some smaller companies effectively lure in people for upper management positions by offering them a share of profits or ownership. If a company looks like it has significant growth prospects, sharing in the success can be highly appealing.

A recent article in the Financial Post reports that despite our best efforts to contain and prevent major financial crises, we may be in a more precarious state than ever before.
A new analysis by the markets team at Deutsche Bank finds that far from getting better at preventing and managing financial crises, we've actually got a great deal worse; since the breakdown of the Bretton Woods fixed exchange rate regime in 1973, these events have become a lot more frequent than they were before.
While the Deustche analysts make reference to the usual culprits, such as financial deregulation and mounting debt, the author gives numerous examples of how globalization creates the conditions that lead to large-scale economic meltdowns.
Globalization inevitably leads to the establishment of larger and more complex economic systems. As integration between the world's nations escalates, the process of enacting laws and regulations, as well as implementing the optimal fiscal and monetary policies, becomes much more arduous. The differences between nations in terms of standard of living, social safety net expectations, unemployment, technological innovation, regulatory frameworks, cultural practices, social norms, and the like, makes the undertaking of selecting a one-size-fits-all economic policy a convoluted mess.
What we are now seeing, after many decades of globalization, is that the dismantling of borders and protectionist trade policies has brought about a system whose sole purpose is to accomplish two things:
- Cut costs
- Optimize efficiency
In order to cut costs and optimize efficiency, the proponents of globalism have dedicated themselves to creating trade policies that ensure capital and labour is as mobile as possible, allowing it to travel to where it is needed most.
Unfortunately, this has resulted in depressed wages and other deflationary effects in Western nations. Canadians now compete with the world, not just other Canadians. If you thought that Canadian jobs are for Canadians only you're wrong – they are for everybody in the world.
As the world continues to integrate competition will necessarily increase. And as competition intensifies wages will continue to drop and profits will become razor-thin (theoretically, in a world of perfect competition and economic efficiency, profits are zero for any firm).
However, as James Kunstler would say, "Efficiency is the straightest path to hell."
As things get more centralized the points of failure aggregate, leaving us in a vulnerable state, dependent on one gargantuan entity to keep the system alive and functioning, with no other checks and balances.
Inevitably, a black swan lurking in the background will precipitate a major crash that will morph into a contagion, taking down the whole system.
A large centralized system with no redundancies built in works miraculously well – until it doesn't.
Once another global financial crises does occur the politicians and "economic experts" will, in a nonchalant manner, simply bail out the banks and hedge funds and introduce endless rounds of monetary and fiscal stimulus to paper over the damage. Nothing will be done to address the underlying problems – and if such short term solutions simply kick the can down the road and create the conditions for future crises (blowing economic bubbles is the way to go for our leaders), it's not like our political leaders will still be in office at the time to take the blame, won't they?

Sophie is a cream lynx point. She has that super soft "rabbit fur" type coat. We showed her brother, Storm more than Sophie only because he has that show personality that we call "the suck up factor"... He LOVED the shows and all the attention. Sophie is has a quieter demeanor. Her personality is a perfect reflection of her personality... her official name is Sophisticurl… Sophie is a sophisticated girl.... She's very "proper" if you can use that term for a cat. She's just very "girly".
