Mokhiber: Ari, I've got two questions for you.
There appears to be a grassroots movement, led by Republicans nationwide, to keep big rig interstate trucks -- to keep them on the Interstate highways and to ban them from small two-lane, two-lane roads.
For example, Christine Whitman, when she was Governor of New Jersey, implemented this policy in parts of New Jersey.
Senator Warner got behind an effort to ban these big trucks from a small road in Virginia just last week, Rt. 17. It's happening in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia.
Does the President favor this kind of limitation on interstate trucks to the interstate highway systems?
Ari Fleischer: Russell, that's a matter the Department of Transportation will be working on it. I don't think that's something the President himself would get involved in.
Mokhiber: Okay, second question I have for you. There is a broad coalition of political leaders ranging from former CIA Director James Woolsey to consumer advocate Ralph Nader, that is pushing for the legalization of industrial hemp.
This is a non-drug crop that was grown by Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. It has a wide range of uses -- clothing, fuel, among others.
Our Summer Campaign Is Underway
Support Common Dreams Today
Independent News and Views Putting People Over Profit
Farmers around world are growing -- in China and Canada -- and importing it. It is illegal here in the United States for farmers to grow it.
Does the President favor the legalization of industrial hemp?
Fleischer: I'm not aware of any statement that the President has made that would lend one to reach that conclusion.
Mokhiber: Could you look into it for me?
Fleischer: Industrial hemp?
Mokhiber: Yes.
Fleischer: Well, I will advise you if anything changes from what I just said.

Two characteristics of playing in the zone that are not mentioned in Sport Psychology's analysis of flow are freedom and fullness. The fullness that you feel when you are in the zone comes from the full potential connection between your sensorimotor operating system and the athletic environment. But in order for that full potential connection to occur, you must first shift out of your normal connection to the environment. Your normal connection is a serial connection in which your operating system interfaces with only half of the available information in the environment, the "form" half.
The important distinction between a serial mode of operation and a parallel mode of operation is that a serial mode connects you sequentially to the parts of the environment, to form while a parallel mode of operation connects you simultaneously to the whole of the environment: to form and empty space.
So instead of a partially potentiated interface in which your sensorimotor operating system is asymmetrically connected to form only, a parallel mode of operation co-creates a fully potentiated interface in which your sensorimotor operating system is symmetrically connected to form and empty space equally and simultaneously. And it is this fully potentiated interface between body-mind and the whole of the athletic environment that brings with it the feeling of fullness that comes when you are playing your sport in the zone.
A flow state is a fully potentiated performance state, a state of wholeness, of completeness, and flow can be experienced by anyone; skill has nothing to do with wholeness. Novice players can get in the zone and feel the same sense of fullness that experts feel when they are in the zone. Flow is not skill-dependent. You don't have to be an expert to have a full-potential experience in your sport. You do, however, have to connect your body-mind to the full potential of your athletic environment. And with that fully potentiated connection comes the sense of fullness that can be experienced by novice and expert, young and old, in all sports, all countries and all cultures. The fullness of the zone is for everyone.
So is its freedom.
Fullness and freedom; freedom and fullness – the bookends of flow. The fullness comes from a fully potentiated interface between body-mind and athletic environment. The freedom comes from…from what? Where does the sense of freedom come from when you are in the zone? In order to experience a sense of freedom, you must have broken free from something. Something must have kept you from the freedom you feel when you are in the zone; a freedom that is absent when you are playing your sport in the norm. So the question is: what is present when you are playing your sport in the norm that is absent when you are playing your sport in the zone?
The answer is self-consciousness, ego. Your egoic self gets dumped on the sidelines when you shift into the zone. In fact, this loss of ego is perhaps the most difficult challenge we all face when it comes to playing in the zone, yet the loss of ego is mandatory to the co-creation of flow in any sport, and the sense of freedom you feel when you are in the zone is partially due to this loss of ego, which brings with it the awakening of your Authentic Self.
Freedom from your egoic self gives rise to the freedom of your Authentic Self. And it is your Authentic Self that rides this sense of freedom into new and different performance territories; territories of novelty and greater complexity that go unseen when your ego shackles you to the norm. Your Authentic Self is unbounded, open, free to roam these unknown territories, and, in so doing, to creatively advance, not only on the field of competition but also in the field of life.
But there is still more to this sense of freedom that comes when you are loosed from the bondage of ego, and it comes with the recognition of something deeper, something ever-present, something Absolute – the Absolute Freedom from which all things arise. You, the game you play, the competitive culture in which you play the game, as well as all the other games being played in all the other places in the world.
The manifest realm arises in and with the Absolute Freedom that transcends Space and Time because it has never entered into the stream of Space and Time. It is the Absolute Freedom of Spirit, of God, of Buddha-Mind, of Christ-Consciousness, Big Mind, the Big Empty.
Call it what you will, but athletes in any sport can experience this freedom in both its relative face: the freedom from ego, and its Absolute Face: the Freedom of Ever-Present Spirit. Put them together, freedom and fullness, and you've got the zone's extraordinary bookends.

I'm here to help you make your first dance a "dance to remember" and maybe even one that you'll want to dance all or part of on your honeymoon or anniversaries to feel those "special day" feelings for each other all over again.
Bring me your song and tell me a little bit about yourselves - how you met, what you like to do as a couple, how your proposal happened and together we will start brainstorming about your first dance and what would make it perfect for you both.
Got a fun idea that incorporates a little acting and scene work? Great! I'm a theater director too and love to utilize chairs, fans, roses and fun prop pieces that make your dance just that much more exciting to do and watch.
During the lessons, I use your phone to video the important steps and techniques for you so you can have it to practice with at home between lessons and freshen up with right before THE big day. I always make sure you have the steps and technique down from the previous lesson before we go on to something new at the next one.
Dress is business casual and you'll want to wear leather soled flats on the wooden floating dance floor and if you think you need to practice with your hair or clothes in a certain way, by all means, bring on the accessories!
I recommend two to four hours of instruction for the leader's comfort leading and the follower's comfort following on the dance floor. My couples usually start their instruction the month or two before their big day so the steps, sequence and choreography get into their muscle memory. Often, they'll save one lesson for right up close to the actual date to review, review, review.
Of course, if you're reading this right now and saying to yourself, "My wedding is a week away - how can I do dance lessons!" -- don't hesitate to text me at 619.871.0241 or email me email@example.com and we can work out a crash course in basics to get you ready to do something other than "clutch and sway" on your big day.
Tango: Argentine or American - flair for the dramatic. Try some snappy head moves and cuddle up together with a rose in your lips available for kissing away!
Swing: East or West Coast - energetic and happy. Who doesn't love to turn and rock to a frisky East coast swing tune or bluesy West coast ballad.
Country Western: 2 Step, 10Step, Country Cha Cha, Country Waltz and more. Sometimes you're in the mood to just get out the boots and hats and kick up your heels.
Rumba: for Latin lovers - slow and sexy. Easy going and easy to dance to, the Rumba brings out the sultry in all of us. Try some cool shadow moves and romantic leans and dips.
Hustle: Disco madness - nostalgic and great tunes! What better way to celebrate you both than to make your first dance today to the romantic music of yesterday. You could even throw in a little hip hop or some side by side dance moves to spice it up.
Foxtrot: tried and true. The foxtrot has so many wonderful steps and I've been told by hundreds of my couples it is one of the easiest dances to learn for the leader. What could be better than using a favorite Frank Sinatra or Michael Buble song to dance to and learning to lead with Fred Astaire aplum and follow gliding along like Ginger Rogers herself?
Movie Dance: super exciting and brings out the director in me big time. The dances from famous movies or TV shows can be really fun to use as a springboard to channel the inner movie star in both partners! I've had lots of requests like this over the years and it always turns out to be so much fun for dancers and audience alike.
Practice does make perfect, so if you can spare five minutes a day on your days between lessons you'll learn about ten times faster.
Make sure not to practice any longer than that at first.
I tell my couples with regards to practice, "Think frequency not duration".

Who Follows Your Example?
Whether you realize it or not, you are an example to someone. It might be a child, a friend, or a maturing christian, but someone is following your lead. While this can be hard to handle, it's true. Tonight, we discuss Paul's directions to the Corinthians on how to live a life that is unoffensive to others, and most importantly, pleasing to God.
The Gospel at the Lake
This week The Beacon Church and Midlands Deaf Church baptized 7 people at Lake Murray, SC. We invite you to listen to the Gospel as it was shared just before baptism. If you would like to talk with someone about the Gospel or your salvation, or if you accepted Christ and want to let someone know, contact us at email@example.com
My Life Revolves around...(?)
How would you finish the sentence "My life revolves around..."? If you answer with anything other than God or Jesus Christ you need to reevaluate. Tonight, we take a look at the God centered life vs the ME centered life and discuss wisdom vs knowledge.
What Do We Accomplish When We Love One Another?
The modern Church can sometimes be too hung up on what we can get back from what we give, a sort of "return on investment". Is this how God wants us to love? Only to give to get something in return or, is there more? Tonight, we look at ONE verse packed with God's truth about what real love looks like.
Why Should Christians Love One Another?
Tonight, we rejoin our study of 1 John and look at the test of love discussed in chapter 4. The test is simple: if you love God, you WILL love your Church family...yes, even those that we don't think deserve our love, time and effort. How do we as the Body of Christ measure up to loving the unlovely and unlovable knowing that God loved us when we were that way?

text: My son is wondering if he can/should substitue his Honors Physics teacher for his Math teacher as far as the teacher evaluation/recommendation goes. Although he did quite well in his Alegebra II and Pre-calc classes as a junior - the teacher knows that my son did not apply himself. His physics teacher happens to be the head master of the school and my son got a 99% in his class. Q: What is your opinion on whether to use the Physics teacher as the math reference? Q: Does anyone know what type of questions the service academies ask of the teachers? Thanks, -FoF

Whilst it's not always easy to amuse our feline friends it is definitely worth trying to introduce cat training games as they can help to relieve boredom and offer them a lot more mental stimulation in their daily routine.
Here are a few simple yet effective ways to keep your cat entertained in a fun and interactive way, even if you're on a budget.
Fishing for Fun
You can make your own wand using a dowling wood stick, or even a sturdy stick from outside, some string and your cats favourite small toy such as a mouse or fish tied to the end. Gently 'cast' the toy out and watch your kitty quickly chase the toy as you pull it away. Ta-dah!
There's an App For That
If you have a tablet or smartphone, you might consider installing some apps for your cat. Here are a few of our favourites:
- CatFishing 2
Your cat can go fishing! Virtual fish float up the screen and score points when your cat successfully places his or her paw on one. If your cat loses interest, you'll hear a meow to encourage the play to continue.
- JitterBug
Watch your cat practice catching little bugs as they appear onto your screen. The colours, movement and game-play have been researched and tested for maximum feline fun.
- CatAlone 2
Entertain your cat for hours with this fast moving game featuring feathers, spiders, mice and more!
Warning: If you are going to let your cat play on your tablet or smartphone expect some scratches!
It's the Little Things
Simply crumple a piece of paper (shiny paper or foil works particularly well) and roll it across the floor. Most cats can't resist the sound crumpled paper makes. Try attaching some yarn or string to the paper ball and let your cat chase it!

QUESTION: After many years of suffering through bad health issues, my mother is in her last days/weeks of life. As with my father, so many years ago. I have been preparing for her death emotionally for a long time, and even secretly hoping for it these past several months as I've watched her suffer while her bodily functions started slowly shutting down. Again, I suddenly find myself completely unprepared emotionally with the reality of her death only days/weeks away.
I pray for strength and guidance to make her final days her best ever, which is a pretty tall order, or even just special in some way. All of that seems impossible while she is scared and in pain, and I feel so helpless and scared myself.
I also pray for guidance on how to help my daughter through this experience, as it is her first experience with the death of someone close. She says that it scares her as much to see me caring for my mom, as a mother would for a sick child. Of course, she acknowledges that it brings up fears for her of me dying and leaving her.
I know that you have a special gift for helping people and their loved ones through their final days, any guidance and/or words of wisdom to help me through this would be greatly appreciated.
ANSWER: Dealing with the death of a loved one is never easy and can be painful, as all losses are. Losing someone you love just plain sucks. We can wrap the experience in all kinds of flowery terms, but at the end of the day it is brutal business. The grief is part and parcel of this realm and the meat suits that we inhabit. The fear is something that we put on it by not having examined our own lives. The biggest gift you can give both your mother as well as your daughter is to examine your own fears. Always remember that we are helpless in manipulating the fear of others. But by addressing our own fear, we can help calm those around us. This is not a mental exercise, but rather an emotional one.
We live in a culture that is incredibly adept at denying death, so we do not push up against it until it comes upon us. After our experience, we once again are encouraged to push it away. The common reaction to big emotions is to try to control them. Hence your desire "to make her final days her best ever" or "special in some way". This intention does not leave room for either her experience nor yours. You are all scared. That is okay, make room for the fear instead of trying to deny it or overcome it. Learn to just be with it. The being present in the moment is powerful medicine. Much wisdom gets revealed when we can do that. Allow yourself to embrace the whole experience: the fear, the grief, and the tender moments that will all be a part of her last days. Stay in your body and feel your feet on the ground when you are with her. The wisdom you are looking for will flow from that space.

How to Screen Potential Candidates Effectively
If you have a thriving practice, hiring someone becomes a tough decision, as you want only the best on your team. During the interview, you may have felt excited about a candidate, only to find out a short time later that he or she has not turned out as per your expectations.
But what happened? Where did it go wrong? Having an effective screening process can you avoid this! Let's save your precious time and avoid this as MUCH as possible!
Change the focus of the interview
I've made this mistake before... during the phone interview you end up doing all of the talking and not asking the right questions! The natural tendency is to try and "win" them over or try to "oversell" the position. It wasn't until I took a step back and asked more questions that I really noticed the difference! The missing piece was finding out what their career aspirations are, what are their philosophies, goals, and values! To find great employees, one should include both personal, behavioral AND technical questions in the screening process.
Ask such questions as:
- "What does your dream job look like?"
- "What are your deal breakers?"
- "If you had five job offers in front of you right now, what would be your main deciding factor in selecting which job to move forward with?"
- "Why are you looking for a new job?"
Do you see how these questions are centered around their philosophies rather than skills?
Interview Mistakes
The greatest mistake that a Dentist or Dental Office Manager can make is basing your screening process only on technical knowledge and skill set! You need to be focusing on the interpersonal skills, communication and how they will treat your patients. You CANNOT train someone to be charismatic, empathetic and have excellent customer service-- either you have it OR you don't! You CAN train skills! Albeit, it will take more time and resources but it will avoid hiring someone with the skills but a nasty attitude! An attitude that will offer only subpar patient care or will be nasty to the rest of your team.
What should you do?
You need to do some preparation before you are ready to jump into recruitment mode. Understand what your practice needs are now and FIVE years from now! Understanding your growth plans and practice vision will help you also make sure that these candidates will help you along this journey! You will start to notice if this candidate is a good match, if you can support each other, and if this person will grow with you.
Often times, we see too many offices just "settling" for an average employee. But this does not save you any more time or money. Instead, this can have a negative impact in more ways than you may think! Taking the time to do it right-- reverse engineer the position and understand what your practice needs will help you find the right candidates!

Nokia and the Wireless Institute in the College of Engineering at the University of Notre Dame have successfully tested applications based on Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC). This software platform delivers flexibility, scalability and efficiency to networks with multiple base stations in order to improve speed of access to data services in congested areas. The live tests were carried out at Compton Ice Arena with a vision of scaling the solution for the university's iconic football stadium and to see how the technology can help enhance user experience during sporting/other events.
People attending sports and music events increasingly expect reliable mobile connectivity in order to access related content like player performance stats, view replays and multiple camera angles, and connect to social media. But in venues such as stadiums, high demand for content is often limited by inconsistent or overloaded Wi-Fi and cellular coverage resulting in unreliable service availability.
Notre Dame stadium hosts more than 80,000 fans for football games six or seven weekends each fall. With consistently high attendance and people frequently experiencing poor coverage issues, Nokia and Notre Dame's Wireless Institute set out to test Wi-Fi with two MEC-based applications:
Both applications used Nokia's low-latency MEC platform and its AirFrame server. The trial also tested the MEC applications with a feature enabling connective to multiple radios, optimizing data flow through Wi-Fi and cellular networks. Using Nokia's Flexi Zone small cell base stations and AirScale Wi-Fi access points, the test found that the technology can significantly improve data throughput in venues such as stadiums where there is a dense concentration of mobile users all trying to access the network and content simultaneously.

The citizens of the free world have nothing to worry any more -- America's spy masters have recovered their missing crystal ball. No fewer than 16 U.S. intelligence agencies have just told us that the Iranian nuclear program really is not so dangerous. According to the National Intelligence Estimate, Tehran has, for reasons yet to be explained, supposedly stopped the military plank of its atomic research.
Before rolling out the peace banners, though, it's worth looking at the agencies' track record in getting these sorts of "estimates" right. As a matter of fact, U.S. intelligence services have so far failed to predict the nuclearization of a single foreign nation. They failed to do so with regard to the Soviet Union in 1949, China in 1964, India and Pakistan in 1998, and North Korea in 2002. They also got Saddam's weapons program wrong -- twice. First by underestimating it in the 1980s and then by overplaying its progress before the 2003 invasion. But on the possible nuclearization of a regime that sounds fanatic enough to use this doomsday weapon, the NIE, contradicting everything we have heard so far about the issue, including from a previous NIE report, is suddenly to be trusted?
US Intelligence Services, or Lack of

If you've scheduled a boudoir photo shoot session with Lucidare Studio, you might be wondering what poses, lingerie, shoes, and jewelry you want for your photos. You're a unique individual and your images should reflect that, so it's important that you plan accordingly.
Sometimes it's hard to find inspiration for what you want for your photography session with a boudoir studio, especially if you haven't seen photos from a session or you're not sure what you want out of it. Here's some tips on what you can do to help you find inspiration for your upcoming boudoir photo shoot.
Lingerie Shopping
If you haven't already picked out your outfits for your shoot, going shopping in the store is a great way to get the gears turning and start formulating ideas for your shoot.
For instance, you might see a matching silk robe and lingerie set that you think would look dazzling with a sheer curtain background or on a backdrop of white silk sheets. Perhaps you find a modest boudoir outfit you think will highlight your playful and shy personality.
Whatever you're looking for, start planning your shoot around the outfits you pick out for yourself.
Social media accounts such as Instagram and Pinterest are perfect places to see photos of what other women have done for their boudoir shoot. Different angles and poses can really bring out the best in people, especially when they know they're doing something a little sexy and out-of-the-box for them.
Don't be afraid to try a pose you see on Instagram or Pinterest. Columbus, Ohio boudoir photography studio, Lucidare Studio, has an Instagram page full of past shoots with beautiful clients in different outfits and poses. We won't be surprised if you find a photo from one of our previous clients that you're just dying to try.
From Lucidare's Instagram, you can find other boudoir photographers from around the country with their boudoir photos posted on their feeds. Don't be afraid to branch out and find out what's working for studios in different areas!
Similar to an Instagram page, a photographer's portfolio is another wonderful place to peruse past shoots and see what worked for other clients. These photos are the best of the best and really showcase the kind of images that result from professional boudoir sessions!
Communicate with Photographer
This is one of the most important parts of doing a boudoir shoot with a professional boudoir photography studio in Columbus, Ohio. Your photographer will really know her stuff and be able to help you create a plan of outfits and poses that accentuate your best features and showcase your personality. With enough communication, you can create a comprehensive plan from the inspiration your photographer gives you!

The MikroTik Security Guide and Networking with MikroTik: MTCNA Study Guide by Tyler Hart are available in paperback and Kindle!
Syslog is one of the most widely supported event reporting mechanisms, across almost all manufacturers and OS distributions. Using Syslog to report events happening on routers, switches, and servers is pretty standard, and being able to centrally monitor reportable events on network infrastructure is critical. Most organizations don't report every single event, because that would create a huge, unmanageable mess of logs. Instead administrators focus on hardware events, authentication issues, interface up/down events, and network adjacency changes.
So, with that being said, we'll set up a Mikrotik router to report important events to a Syslog server, and use The Dude as a dashboard for monitoring. This is a no-cost solution that centralizes the administrative task of monitoring infrastructure, and it is surprisingly flexible. The topology in this scenario is pretty basic - two branch routers, both with an Internet connection, both with a connection to a management network as well. Do you absolutely need to send Syslog events over a management network? No. Should you be handling monitoring and reporting over a management network? Yes, it's best practice. The server is just an instance of The Dude, running on a Windows Server.
First, we'll set up a logging action on the router. This is just a logging action that tells the router to send the event to a Syslog server. We'll then assign that logging action to different events.
On both routers:
/system logging action add bsd-syslog=yes name=Syslog remote=192.168.88.234 target=remote
The bsd-syslog=yes option forces the router to send Syslog events in RFC-3164 format, which is very well-supported. Next we'll configure the logging itself, sending important entries (Account, Critical, and Error type events) to the Syslog server using the action we just created.
On both routers:
/system logging add topics=critical,error,account action=Syslog disabled=no
Now that the routers are taken care of, let's set up the Syslog server. Mikrotik's The Dude isn't the only Syslog server freely available - there are many - but it's one of the few that's easily installed and you'd actually want to look at on a big screen display for dashboarding. First, download and install the latest copy of The Dude from Mikrotik's download page. Open up The Dude, and make sure that the Syslog server process is running, as shown below:
Now that the routers are logging to Syslog, and The Dude is listening, let's create some events. I'm going to log into the Seattle router with the wrong username and password multiple times, and a few times successfully, to show what you'd see if someone were trying to guess the admin username or password.
This is now your running record of who logged into (or failed to log into) devices, from what IP, and via which service. Also, very importantly, this gets your log entries off of your devices and onto a separate, hopefully secure server. If a device has been compromised there is a good chance the logs on the device have been too, but if you're shipping events off to a separate server there is another record that can be trusted. Assuming that all routers are syncing their clocks via NTP, you can use the timestamps as well to create a chronological order of events, which is critical when handling a security incident.
We've just covered the basics here, and there is a lot more you can report on with Syslog and monitor using The Dude. I encourage you to ship critical and error events to a Syslog server, and put the Syslog window up where people can see it and keep an eye out for unusual entries. The last thing we want is someone trying to bruteforce the admin password and no one even knows it's happening.

Don't get me wrong, I love our business. I love our brand. It's a great place to work and I've no desire to be anywhere else.
But would I go so far as to tattoo our logo on myself?
The answer has to be a resounding NO!!!!
I have nothing against tattoos, I have some myself. But what these guys have done seems even worse than getting the name of your boyfriend/girlfriend/partner permanently etched. Because THESE THINGS CAN CHANGE!!!
What if one or both of them get sacked? Would you want a permanent reminder?
Fair play guys, dedication to your business is a great thing. Here's hoping we don't see you on Tattoo Fixers in a couple of years, because that looks like a bitch to cover up!
Recruitment is often associated with the adage 'work hard, play hard', with companies telling of boozy trips to Vegas, competitive football matches and, of course, Friday evenings in the pub. However, one agency may have taken their after-work drinking challenge to the next level, with a dare escalating to two recruitment consultants getting a tattoo of their company logo. Andrew Martyn and Lewis Farnham, recruitment consultants at Kent-based firm, Red Eagle, took a trip to the tattoo parlour to literally mark their dedication to their brand. Farnham comments: "The day-to-day atmosphere in our construction division is brilliant. We have a great team spirit and regularly dream up of crazy challenges in the office - I'll be reminded of this one every day."

Happy Birthday, Git for z/OS!
It's been just over a year since the release of our Git for z/OS ported open source tool. At the time of its debut, customers and mainframers were already excited following the addition of other modern tools and languages to the mainframe—languages like Python, JavaScript, and PHP. Rocket has always been invested in open source technology, and we were thrilled with the response of the mainframe community.
No one needs another blog post convincing them of Git's usefulness. Most programmers will agree that the introduction of Git in 2005 set a new standard in version control entirely. Being one of the most widely taught version control systems (VCS) by computer science programs all over the world, it's more universal than most others on the market— open or otherwise. Alright, so no question about it: Git is a superior SCM. But let me tell you how Git is changing mainframe source code management from the inside-out.
Mainframe source code management has traditionally been very laborious; subject to rigorous, inflexible processes made more complicated by mainframe SCM's centralized nature. Though more and more languages have been made available to the mainframe (see our open source languages here), modern version control tools had evaded notice. We're happy to have changed that last year with the release of Git for z/OS.
What exactly makes Git so exceptional on the mainframe, though? I'm glad you asked. Here are some of our favorite reasons:
Git is distributed version control, meaning your project's complete codebase—including its full history—is mirrored on every developer's computer. This peer-to-peer approach, as opposed to the client-server approach, synchronizes repositories by exchanging patches between users. Every user has a working copy of the codebase, and the detailed history therein. Developers can be productive without being connected to the network, and can code privately in their own isolated environments. Communication only becomes necessary when sharing changes among their peers. These numerous working copies among machines effectively function as remote backups—which eliminates the risk of a single point of failure.
Of all the benefits of using Git for z/OS, this should be the most persuasive. Being decentralized changes the game. Continuous development allows for quicker publishing of releases, features, and bug fixes. It considerably lowers the risk of development, enabling high performing teams to produce and publish much faster. Customers receive releases sooner, and the gears of innovation never stop turning behind the scenes. Seriously, this should be all the reason you need to use Git.
The Skills Gap
It's been said a million times before, but Git is the preferred VCS by student and entry-level programmers. You can't throw a proverbial rock without hitting a 20-something software developer who will tell you as much. Many use Github as a programming portfolio of their best projects. I won't go so far as to say it's the best version control system out there—we don't have enough time for that debate—but it is without a doubt one of the most widely known. New hires are productive much sooner when starting on this familiar tool.
Open Source, Open Innovation
You might be surprised to learn that over 65% of businesses leverage open source software to speed application development, and more than 78% incorporate OSS in their daily operations. There's a good chance your company is one of the many. We have a lot of respect for open source software and their communities of dedicated contributors. Mass collaboration evidently pays off for everyone involved. Rocket Software, like 65% of companies, contribute to open source projects. Git for z/OS is basically open source2— an open source port of an open source tool. The port supports automatic tagging, and conversion of text files between ISO8859-1 (ASCII) and IBM-1047 (EBCDIC) character encodings.
Git for z/OS is our most popular free tool with over 500 downloads in 2017. You can find it, and our other open source tools, here.

Root canal treatment is a beneficial restorative dental procedure that restores the health and function of a tooth that is severely decayed, damaged or injured. This treatment is oftentimes needed when a dental filling, dental crown or other dental restoration is not viable. If you think you can benefit from a root canal treatment, then it's best to call our office and schedule an appointment with our dentists, Dr. Joseph Falco and Dr. Ryan Vonnahme. To help you know more about this treatment before your appointment, our dentists are happy to share the following root canal facts:
-Root canal treatment is the process of removing the harmed internal structures of the tooth, like the tooth nerve and tooth pulp. After doing so, your dentist will fill the tooth with a special dental material called gutta percha. To complete the treatment, we will support the tooth with a dental restoration, like a dental crown or dental filling.
-Root canal treatment does not usually cause pain, no matter what you might believe. This is because your dentist will use a local anesthetic to numb the mouth before treatment.
-Root canal treatment might cause some tooth sensitivity following treatment, but that is normal. It should go away within three to five days. Your dentist might prescribe some medication to help you.
-Root canal treatment can help you by restoring the health and function of the tooth. It can help you efficiently chew, have a natural tooth appearance, protect the surrounding teeth, have a normal and natural biting force, and have a normal sensation within the tooth.
Call Pennyrile Family Dentistry today at 270-632-6404 if you have any questions or if you would like to know more. Our dental team will be more than happy to tell you all about root canal treatment in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. We look forward to hearing from and helping you!

Payments are wage exclusions under the Act if:
Made under an employer's plan, and
Upon or after termination of employment, and
On account of the employee's death.
Payments are not wage exclusions if they would have been made regardless of whether
or how the employment terminated.
NOTE: The employee's death had to be a condition of the plan for the payment to be excluded
from wages.
A plan provides that an award be paid to the employee in a specified number of annual
installments beginning with the year in which the award is made. The employee then
dies (or retires on account of disability), before all the installments are paid.
All payments, including the payments after death (or retirement), are wages because
they were scheduled to be made even if death had not occured.
The State of Y has a plan whereby it pays accumulated sick leave to an employee upon
termination of employment, regardless of the reason for termination.
If the employment relationship is terminated by death (or retirement due to disability),
the accumulated sick leave payments paid under the plan would be excluded from wages.
If the employment relationship terminates for any other reason, payments under the
plan would not be so excluded.
Payments under a plan can be either excluded or not excluded from wages, depending
on the circumstances under which the payments are made. This may require development.
When development is necessary, follow these steps:

When my first client hired me in March of 2016, I had no idea that in August I would be handing in my two weeks notice and be running The Social Walker Agency full time that September. No idea. What started as a way to learn the world of online business (after my first attempt in 2015 failed), quickly became something altogether different. In the video at the bottom of this post you'll find the first three things I recommend doing in order to start your business. But today, I want to break down a few other areas to help you kick-start your business.
My First Client
For the first few months I only had one recurring client and a one project-based client. I had already learned how to use Canva, so I put together a new business special. It went something like this - "the first 2-3 people to purchase 10 hours of VA work in March would get 2 hours free!" (I tried to find the actual graphic, but that seems lost in yesteryear). I posted this in Heather Crabtree's Facebook group (thanks for the rec, Jessica!) and had one person bite - Jodi!
When I got that first email I was ELATED! We chatted over a few days, and all was set. But y'all, even with all the work Jodi had me doing, it took 3 months to use up all 10 hours. I'm not saying that to brag, I'm saying that because it taught me that I needed to re-package all of my offerings and made me realize that tracking 10 hours of work even with Toggl is very tedious. It also wasn't until late May that I got my second monthly client.
So you're probably wondering how I left my job 3 months later, right?
Getting My Name Out There
Over the next few months I joined a few other Facebook groups and learned a whole lot from others in the groups. Although, not an expert in the online world, I knew I also had things to share. I started blogging and sharing the blog posts when the weekly prompts allowed and tried to answer any and all questions when I could. After years of being a receptionist, coming from a family of business owners, and being a self-proclaimed planner, I knew some things about the admin side of running a business and I was trying to learn as much as I could about the social media world.
Also, any time someone posted about needing a VA, I would try to throw my name into the running. I was checking and searching those Facebook groups like it was my job for people needing and wanting assistance, because well, I wanted that to be my job!
**Now, I'll admit, I may have been checking some of those groups while on the clock at my 9-5, but I'll get into that in a few weeks.
By the start of July, I had 5 monthly clients. A few of these were referrals from Jodi (which always warm the heart), two were because I responded to their Facebook requests, and another said she found me on Facebook answering someone else's requests. Y'all, people are watching what you are doing, so make it good, and make it consistent. I've even had some referrals from people who have never hired me but we've connected on social media.Then more referrals kept coming in and I was saying yes to any and every client that came my way. At that point I knew I wanted to quit my 9-5 (which is a whole other story) but I can say that I had zero nightmare clients this last year, and I hear that's rare!
There were a few that I only worked with for one-off projects (which are super fun and keep the creativity flowing) and some I worked with only for a month trial to see if we were a good fit and we weren't business-wise but nothing has ever been personal.
Each of my clients have taught me some amazing things and one I always try to implement is from Samantha over at Hype Social Strategies - "Schedule out everything through Monday, so that you can relax on Sunday. Then on Monday, start working on Tuesday and you'll always be a day ahead." This is serious gold, y'all, especially if you don't have a content calendar that runs more than a week or two weeks at a time.
Client Care (a brief run-down)
I think I should do one whole post on client-care and referrals because my brain has a million things to say on it, but this is one area I know I'll always be trying to improve upon. Taking great care of the clients you have will lead to more work down the road - either with new clients or more work for the same clients. Quality communication, support and hard work are the top 3 things I'd recommend to get started with your client-care. Treat every client like as if they're your only client. I do wish I had implemented client gifts in the beginning, and again, this area is always evolving for me, but even a simple, hand written note can go along way in today's world.
Lessons Learned
The first one I already mentioned was that sometimes hourly just isn't the best (for me). I don't want my clients to wonder if we'll run out of hours by the end of the month or how to handle rollover minutes (early 00s cellphone commercial anyone?). I also pride myself on being efficient and competing with the clock to get more and more done (done right the first time as much as possible.
Another one I've already mentioned too is client gifts. A few months after working from home and getting settled in that routine, I sent all clients - past and present - a little gift as a way to say thank you. Sending a note later is better than never, so this is your excuse to go buy pretty thank you cards at Target!
My final lesson for today is this: even if you need the money, truly evaluate every single opportunity. If you have a 9-5 then you technically don't need to say yes to every inquiry, and if your business is your sole income, then I recommend this even more, because you don't want to get in a situation where you're dependent on a contract that you don't love doing. When client relationships have ended for me this past year, either by me or by the client, it was always on good terms because we were open and honest during the process.
It has been one crazy year to say the least, and I'm loving revisiting it through this case study! I'd love to hear how you got your first client in the comments below!

This week a comet that started life in the outer reaches of our solar system will be visible from Earth for the first time, as it approaches our planet's orbit. The comet will be 66 million miles (106 million km) from Earth at its closest approach. Another recently-discovered object, called 2016 WF9, has also been taking a scenic tour of our solar system, approaching
Jupiter's orbit at its greatest distance from the sun. On 25 February this year, it will approach Earth's orbit, passing at a distance of nearly 32 million miles (51 million kilometers) from Earth. But Nasa still doesn't know whether the object is an asteroid or a comet. READ MORE

Several months ago I came across what has to be one of the coolest and most useful web sites on the Internet. Here is a site where you can (for free) watch a superb, brief and very enjoyable review of some of the best business books on the market. For busy people this is a fast, easy, and efficient way to learn great ideas, check out a new books (to decide if you want to invest the time and money to read the entire book) and have fun in the process! I am totally addicted to this awesome site and I am sure you will be too!
Just about every Monday morning, Steve Cunningham and his team at Polar Unlimited post a new review of a book that they feel has something important and valuable to say. They have covered books from such well-known authors as: Seth Godin, Daniel Pink, Stephen Covey, Jack Welch, Malcolm Gladwell, Jim Collins… and now… John Spence!
I am deeply honored that the folks at READITFOR.ME have chosen to review my new book, Awesomely Simple. The review just got posted this morning AND we are having a contest for whoever posts the best comments.
Every day this week I will pick a winner and then post a brief video on the READITFOR.ME site to announce the winner and add my thoughts about their comments. Every winner will receive a copy of Awesomely Simple and a copy of my leadership book, Excellence by Design. So please go visit the site, enjoy the review of my book and leave a comment, maybe it will earn you two new books!
Take good care – John Spence
PS – Please be sure to forward this note or a link on to anyone you think would find value in this awesome web site!!!

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ed Fitzgerald, who will be running against Governor John Kasich in the 2014 election, has already been making some headlines. For the most part Fitzgerald has focused on critiquing JobsOhio. However, it's important to know that Fitzgerald has voiced his opinion on important social matters as well.
Thanks to the 2014-2015 budget is now harder to get an abortion in Ohio. Physicians must now perform an ultrasound before performing an abortion, and Planned Parenthood was moved to the bottom of the list for funding. It is also harder for abortion clinics to get funding from public hospitals.
Fitzgerald responded to these abortion restrictions, saying, "I think the women's health provisions are the most egregious and have provoked the most justifiable outrage."
We would beg to differ. It's outrageous that abortion has claimed the lives of over 50 million children since Roe v. Wade. It's outrageous that our society can think it's okay to kill an pre-born child.
That aside, here are more reasons for opposing the pro-life measures of the budget from one of the newer Fitzgerald campaign websites:
Harms Ohio Women
Defunds Planned Parenthood. Takes critical funds away from an important community healthcare provider which deprives thousands of Ohio women of critical healthcare services.
Requires women seeking an abortion to undergo a mandatory, medically unnecessary ultrasound, and imposes criminal penalties on doctors who don't comply.
Requires women to pay for these medically unnecessary ultrasounds, making no exceptions for victims of rape or incest.
Imposes a so-called 'gag rule' against rape crisis centers discussing any options other than carrying a pregnancy to term.
Redefines pregnancy in the same manner Mississippi did before passing its so-called personhood amendment, which outlawed all abortions before being defeated via referendum.
Fitzgerald is also looking into several different options to repeal these restrictions on abortion, including taking the issue to voters in the 2014 elections.
We hope that voters will choose life in the 2014 election.

Pilot Brewing System Arrives...Eff Yeah!
With one year of planning, structuring, and building this little business under our belts, we've recently raised enough money to buy the equipment to launch phase 1 of our 3-part brewery plan. After hustling to find some (awesome) investors and signing the lease for our Soquel Village brewhouse and tap room (official as of this morning!), we purchased a brand new "step-up" 1BBL brewing system by Stout Tanks.
Glossier than Danny Devito's bald head lathered in baby oil, the 1 BBL brewing system is small enough to experiment with new recipes while not breaking the bank if we happen to make an awkward batch (it happens to everyone, we promise). In addition, the upgraded system is big enough to max out the allotted space in Ben Lomond yet small enough to serve as our pilot system in Soquel. Below are 3 key reasons why we found significance in upgrading systems.
1) With the addition of a few more fermenters, we can regularly supply 2-3 local restaurants with beer (email us if you'd like to serve our beer on tap). The exposure will allow us to generate some cash and build our brand while we renovate our brewery in Soquel.
2) The 1 BBL system will produce approximately 31 gallons of beer, or two ½ BBL kegs per batch. This quantity is perfect for recipe experimentation. Nick can produce limited release batches or run wild with whacky ideas; testing recipes and diversifying our beer lineup. For a brewer, it's equivalent to being five years old with access to a private playground.
3) When experimenting, even the best brewers produce a strange batch, and strange batches cost money. In the case of a mediocre test run, the small quantities can go unsold without a huge hit to the wallet, keeping our creativity affordable.
Following a little construction and a few more highly desirable BEEReaucratic approvals, our beer will cease to be fictitious and ready to order. The journey has been long, the day is near, and we're more anxious than ever.
ALSO! Happen to have an old upright freezer laying around or know someone who does? We're looking to purchase 4 upright freezers that can be converted into fermentation chambers for lagers. Please pass this information onto friends, family and colleagues or contact us with a lead. Your help is greatly appreciated!

It might feel impossible to really gut your home of things not needed or wanted-but help is on the way!
I need a memory like a toddler
Anybody else out there find themselves immediately forgetting the good things when bad comes their way?
I don't mean "I'm hangry and I am forgetting some are going without"
I am talking "why do you keep throwing your food on the ground? this day has been rough" even though it's only been rough for 5 minutes…
I am finding myself in a season of forgetting. I have been forgetting the good and the victories and the blessing daily when I find myself falling short.
I think it's kind of funny-kids forget the bad so quickly and adults seem to forget the good. They fall and bust their faces or lose a toy or spill their drinks and the world is ending for 30 seconds until they get a new french fry or toy or you snuggle them after a fall and there it is. It's like the bad never even happened. They have totally moved on with their lives and are in search of the new whatever it is.
But me, I am the opposite. All day she is great and fun and we are having a joyous time and then one fit makes me feel as though the entire day has been a wash and we accomplished nothing. Such a horrible habit.
I don't think motherhood brought this on-I think motherhood exposed it. I think motherhood shows us the yucky that is already there. We are not experiencing yucky feelings because we had a baby-we may have been out of touch or blind to them until now.
I think it's so cool that we get to have a living example of how we should respond to the bad. Sometimes-when my heart is full of yuck- this frustrates me to no end. I hate that she(my daughter) moves on so quickly and I cannot. She is ready for hugs and books and play and I am brooding and feeling like i can't stop even though I want to.
Here is what I am learning:
brooding and holding on to the yuck, forgetting the 32057897634 good things because of 2 bad things, these are horrible habits that I have been building since long before motherhood.
And the great news is:
I can change.
I can build NEW habits that are totally different and are positive, uplifting, and bring light into my home.
I am reading "One thousand gifts" by Ann Voskamp (Ann I beg you please come on our show I will give you all my money PLEASE!!!!) and she talks about habits needing to be replaced. You cannot just quit something, it needs to be replaced.
This Holiday season I am writing myself notes and sticking them everywhere to remind myself to think of the good, the beautiful, the lovely, the blessings. I am actively sharing these things with my family and friends so that I speak good not bad to anyone who will listen.
Does this mean I am faking it till I make it?
Heck no.
Anyone who knows me knows I am completely incapable of faking anything-seriously.
But I am beginning to live the life I want to live, and I do not want to raise my child in a negative environment with a dirty lens that only sees the bad when there is so much good around.
I invite you to join me. Make conscious decisions in the bad, hard, rough moments to remind yourself of all the good there is as well. You can feel the bad and still remember that the good exists.
I believe this is truly life to the full-seeing it all.
And I hope we can all be more like our kids and learn to move on quickly from those little dings in life. Real wounds and trauma need addressing and definitely healing, but the little slips and falls in life cannot stop us from remembering the blessings.
If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude. -Colin Powell
Oh and last thing:
Eat the elephant one bite at a time. One day at a time-or rather one fit or tantrum at a time.
You are good mama, you are good.

Matt Eckstine (Accomplices) & Craig Tanner (American Hologram) are planning an evening of storytelling as they dig into their respective catalogs. The entry will be low, the mood will be high. Find yourself here Saturday April 2nd.
Matt Eckstine is a singer/songwriter based in Savannah, Georgia performing solo acoustic shows primarily in the Lowcountry of Coastal Georgia and South Carolina. Matt is an active founding member and songwriter of The Accomplices Band, a regional favorite in the south east United States. Matt's solo acoustic shows weave genres of Folk, Blues, Rock & Roll and Tropical good vibrations.
Audiences can expect acoustic guitar accompanied by vocal and tasteful use of harmonica. Another very unique aspect of Matt's solo show is his abilities in "live looping" to achieve a "one man band" full sound organically, in real time. Using his arsenal of effects pedals to create a sonic texture that makes audiences get up on their feet.
"The best quality in Matt's performance is the genuine energy that he radiates"
Via American Hologram's Bio:
Savannah's American Hologram is a gutsy and eclectic power house trio comprised of Eric Britt, Britt Scott and Craig Tanner. Although americana goth pop and roots has surfaced as a description, songwriting is what defines their music. Interweaving acoustic guitars, three part harmonies, and interchanging lead singers make American Hologram a standout among Southeastern bands. The band formed after Britt's album Greener came out in 2012, as Tanner and Scott began accompanying him live. They quickly branched into a band, with everyone bringingideas and songs to the table. Since then the trio has become a prolific songwriting outfit. Natural chemistry as musicians and friends helped the creative process grow quickly.

Bitcoins are a kind of cryptocurrency and digital payment system. They are worldwide popular and it's possible to make payments on the Internet with them anytime. As the cryptocurrency develops, more and more people give up on traditional small loans and find the opportunities to implement their own projects on electronic resources.
Bitcoin loans are also interesting because the borrower attracts funds on individual terms that meet his requirements and opportunities, and not according to the standard scheme, as most financial institutions still do.
There are special platforms that help people to get instant bitcoin loans. There are people on these platforms, who have free funds and are looking for the ways of their investments. Those, who need money to develop their business, need to join these platforms and leave applications there. If borrower's conditions meet lender's interests, he issues loans with bitcoin.
If you are looking for bitcoin microloans, you can leave several applications and several lenders will lend you small sum that, in general, will be enough to finance a project/business.
This method of issuing free bitcoin loans is profitable. Lenders reduce the risk of losing all money, allocating funds between several borrowers. Borrowers can gather a solid sum of money from different lenders.
Such companies as BitLendingClub, BTCJam, LoanBase deserve attention if you decide to apply for instant bitcoin loans.

I made the most delicious fresh corn salad today. I served it with some slow smoked pork and fresh fried corn tortillas along with some cheese, sour cream and avocado. Everything but the black pepper and the lime came from the farmers market or my garden. Oh so deliciously fresh. I roasted the corn and jalapeno and it brought out a terrific flavor and the cabbage adds a great crunch. It was even delicious by the spoonful as a stand alone side dish.
Garden Fresh Roasted Corn Salad
- 1 cup diced tomato
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 cup diced cabbage
- 2 cups roasted corn
- 1 Tbs diced roasted jalapeno
- pepper
- juice of one lime
Over hot coals roast shucked corn for about 10 minutes and jalapeno for about 8. Turn frequently and put each into a plastic bag when finished and allow to rest for 5 minute before proceeding.
Meanwhile dice tomato, cabbage, and onion.
Peel jalapeno and cut corn from cobs.
Stir together and add lime juice and pepper to taste.
Enjoy ~ Kimberly

COEUR d'Alene – The construction closure for the Sissons Bridge on the Coeur d'Alene River Ranger District has been postponed to October 15, 2018 for up to two weeks; however, construction work will only occur Monday - Friday in order to keep the bridge open for weekend travel. Visitors to this area are asked to plan ahead. The following alternate routes will be available:
• Forest Service Road 400 from Steamboat Creek to Flat Creek.
• Forest Service Road 802 from Venus Creek to the Long Pool/Big Pool area.
The alternate routes are unpaved and narrower than Road #208, and may not be suitable for vehicles with larger trailers. Sissons Bridge is the first bridge encountered when heading northwest on the Coeur d'Alene River Road #208 from Shoshone Camp, before Kit Price Campground.
Built in the early 1950's, Sissons Bridge has begun to show signs of cracking and distress that were discovered during a routine inspection, reducing the ability to meet load limits. There is a priority need to conduct these repairs in order to accommodate high levels of traffic from recreationalists, private land owners, and management activities. Work that includes concrete pouring and additional reinforcing steel will bring the bridge up to load bearing specifications.
Visitors to the Idaho Panhandle Forests are encouraged to pick up a free Motor Vehicle Use Map available at any of the Ranger Stations. For additional information about the Sissons Bridge closure, please contact the Coeur d'Alene River Silver Valley Office at (208) 783-2363, or the Fernan Office at (208) 664-2318.

User created content has been around for ages. Players are able to make mods for their favorite PC games to add items, textures, character, and/or levels that they would have liked to see in the original game.; and like most user generated content there is a lot of questionable content. However every now and there come along an amazing add-on to the games that we love to play. One of these add-ons is Falskaar for Skyrim.
Falskaar is a user made mod for skyrim that adds over 25 hours of game play including: 26 new quests ( 9 story driven quests, and 17 side quests), new items, 2 new spells, a new shout, an original sound track, full voice cast, and a world that is one third the size of the original game… The kicker is that all of this was done by Alexander J. Velicky, a 19 year old out of high school, applying to Bethesda…Who here can say they have ever done anything this in depth for a job application!
Velicky says that this add-on took him over a year to complete using the Bethesda's creation kit. Vekicky explains that his dad was a huge help in the project by allowing him to stay at home rent free as he works on creating his master piece. His father knew that Falskaar was his job and possibly his ticket to his dream job.
Part of the 2,000+ hours it took Vekicky to create Falskaar was dealing with over 100 people to help him create the full voice cast…that's right a full story driven by a full voice cast! So many games do not even have a voice cast and Vekicky managed to get one in to Falskaar. All the voice actors submitted their recordings to Vekicy himself so he could implement them into Falskaar as he wanted. The voice actors consisted 26 people playing over 54 unique characters.
If this is what user generated content is coming to than sign me up! I think this is a great step forward and would personally love to see more of it. I know that we will not get products of this quality because not everyone will feel the need to spend 200 hours and potentially get nothing out of it. But it is defiantly a step in the right direction!

by Scott Tackett
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) reported that, in 2015, several thousand cases of illegal discrimination were settled for more than $46 million dollars.
Based on this staggering number, providing a workplace free from harassment and discrimination is no longer simply the right thing to do, but something that is imperative for our businesses.
If you are an owner or executive and have not recently trained your managers and employees on the legal aspects of workplace harassment and discrimination, you are endangering not only your employees, but your business and your reputation. This is a critical managerial and leadership responsibility that must be carried out. Failing to ensure a culture that is free from harassment and discrimination may also be putting your personal liability at risk.
Beyond the potential legal issues, I believe we have both a business case and a moral responsibility to ensure a safe working environment for every employee in our companies. I am not speaking about safe from an OSHA perspective, although that is a given, but safe from the view that each employee should feel comfortable coming to work and being able to perform in their respective positions without fear of mistreatment, disrespect, or humiliation.
Our workforces are growing in diversity every day. Ensuring an environment free from harassment and discrimination, and holding everyone accountable through effective awareness training, can go a long way toward creating an engaged workforce. And an engaged workforce contributes to increased sales, more customers, greater market share, and greater relative profits, which are ROIs I'm sure we are all interested in seeing.
So how do we get started? If we are going to provide a workplace that is free from harassment, there are three very important steps to be taken.
Step One: Address the legal aspects through initial training, but don't stop there. Training needs to be ongoing, on at least a yearly basis. Depending on your state, sexual harassment prevention training may even be required by law for your management staff, and in some cases, for all employees.
Step Two: Create a culture of understanding and awareness. Outline conduct and behaviors that are unacceptable and illegal, along with those that could be perceived as hurtful and disrespectful to others.
Step Three: Hold all employees accountable, without exception. Commit to working together, and ensure that everyone in the organization is held to the belief that all employees should recognize and accept the differences/diversity among us.
Harassment and discrimination harms us all. In my view, the most important part of a company's corporate values is to ensure all employees are treated with respect and dignity. Any employee, regardless of position or title, who engages in, condones, or fails to report any type of harassment or inappropriate behavior should be dealt with accordingly. Not only is this the right thing to do, but a single violation of federal or state laws associated with illegal discrimination can destroy a business.

Host Information
DINIVIEW Villa Resort is located on the hillside between Diniwid Beach and White Beach, with a perfect view of the spectacular Boracay sunset. If you're looking for your own private paradise away from the crowds, this location is perfect for you. The Villas are situated in splendid isolation surrounded by foliage, all with beautiful ocean views. In the center of the resort we have a swimming pool and sundeck. Take the stairs down from the Villas along our little path and you're on Diniwid beach in less than five minutes. Once on the beach it is a ten minute walk to the next cove which is the world famous White Beach, with all it has to offer, including, water sports, shops, spa's, restaurants and night life. But don't underestimate the very quaint DINIVIEW Beach as it has its own charms including locally run restaurants and spots to relax and spend the day. Diniwid Beach has become the unofficial second living room of DINIVIEW Villa's. The sand, sea, and wind is what inspires us and we hope you find a home away from home at DINIVIEW Villa Resort.
The island offers a wide range of activities, and our personal favourites besides walking the beaches and eating great food, are paraw sailing, spa treatments, yoga, golf, diving and kite boarding. Sailing: As you're on an island, take the chance and rent one of the local paraw sail boats and do a tour around the island. You will discover small cute coves, snorkelling areas and different beaches riding with the wind and the waves. We believe it's one of the better ways to see the island. Spa and massages: For a great holiday, unwind with a good massage or a spa treatment. Yoga: You can find a wide range of very good Yoga classes, from True Yoga, daily classes at 9 am, to Mandalas yoga retreats, to private sessions with a wide range of international Yogis. Golf: Boracay has a fantastic 18-hole golf Corse that holds world class standards. Diving. Diving is an old island activity, and where better to do than in the tropics with crystal clear waters and coral reefs. Boracay island has a few dive sites of different variety's, from deep sea with bigger fish to shallow coral gardens. Kite Surfing and wind surfing. Restaurants and dining.
Diniwid beach is located north of white beach. It's a small cove surrounded by coral limestone rocks. A cliff trail leads you directly to White Beach. The little cove has a nice private beach and doesn't get as crowded as White Beach. A few smaller resorts are located on the hills around the cove and at the beach there are a few small restaurants. Diniwid beach has a cosy private feel and small uniqe hotels, restaurant and bars. It is the perfect spot to watch sunset. The Boracay main road also goes to Diniwid Beach and you may ride a local tricycle to and from.

Stadium: A Building That Renders the Image of a City

On 29 September 1979, 250,000 filled the seats of Chile's National Stadium in Santiago. The event that was meant to transform the attendants from mere dwellers into proprietors. Prior to it, a booklet circulated that featured a plan of the stadium showing the space of its stands subdivided into boroughs and shanty towns. The peopled summoned were mostly beneficiaries from a national self-help housing programme responding to a severe housing crisis by offering people a plot of land within the city.
Stadium: A Building that Renders the Image of a City tells a double story of that 1979 event in Santiago de Chile: that of a building, with its dissimilar and even contradictory past uses, and that of a city, with its atomised housing underpinning an unequal development. Both parts are overlaid here, where the stadium's floorplan, rather than delineating the stands, visualises another city marginalised from its centre and arresting different scales in a spatial and temporal panorama. Arranged in four chapters, the book features short essays as well as rich visual material. Text in English and Spanish.
Published to accompany the Pavilion of Chile, 16th International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale, 26 May-25 November 2018.

September 2018
Dear Members, Friends & Supporters,
As summer winds to a close NMWIF is gearing up for some great events to support our community of filmmakers. On the afternoon of September 30th, we will be introducing our Power of Story event in Albuquerque at the UNM Continuing Ed. Campus. From 3-6 there will be a series of presentations, short films, storytellers and story sharing as a part of "How Stories Connect Us". We want to reach every aspect of the industry represented in our membership and since storytelling is the one thread that runs through all of our work we are looking to dive deeper into the meaning and structures of stories with lots of examples. This should be a great afternoon of sharing, learning and connecting. All are welcome and we hope you'll bring friends. More information about the afternoon is detailed in the events section of the newsletter.
Former board member and award-winning filmmaker, Cat Pilafas will be heading up this year's PSA production benefiting Enlace Comunitario, a nonprofit group that's dedicated to preventing violence in the home. She will be partnering with Jocelyn Jansons and New Mexico Girls Make Movies to create meaningful mentorship opportunities for everyone involved in this year's PSA. They are looking for crew in all aspects of production. New Mexico Women in Film is dedicated to expanding our responsibility as mentors in our state. Here is your opportunity to step up and bring whatever expertise you hold to our women future filmmakers both young and mature. The PSA is always a wonderful chance to connect to the fellow filmmakers in the community and develop relationships and a lasting connection that can be helpful in your future ventures. Check the newsletter here for more details. We are also creating mentor and mentee relationship opportunities at all levels for members on a special Facebook page where you can ask and share advise and experience.
NMWIF's scholarship and grants program finished accepting applications on August 31st. It's our great privilege to be able to help our members with funds to support their education, completion of film projects and general career development. Monies will be awarded in October with a big ceremony to celebrate the grantees along with our 2018 Sage Award winner at our holiday party in December.
Mark your calendars for one of the most anticipated dates of our NMWIF year. Saturday, November 10th will be our Mentor Mania this year and it will feature Casting Directors who will be able to meet with our actor members in a structure that resembles speed dating. Slots are limited and will again be made available to our members on a first come, first served basis. Stay connected with us through Facebook and the newsletter to get the most up-to-date information.
When you aren't making the most of our beautiful New Mexico climate, geography and light at this glorious time of year we hope to see you at our events and
