For doctoral students, moving up begins while class is still in session
It doesn't take long for certain themes to emerge when talking to Ed.D. students from Brandman, particularly the ones who have already seen the program aid them in advancing their careers.
We caught up with recently promoted doctoral students during their recent Ed.D. Immersion weekend in Irvine. Although their jobs and experiences vary widely – from classroom teacher to middle school principal to being a dean at a community college to heading up a division of the Space & Naval Warfare Systems for the Department of Defense – each spoke enthusiastically about the leadership skills they felt they were building through the Brandman program.
Here are some of the things they had in common when talking about what led to their new positions:
- A lifelong interest in learning and bettering themselves
- Wanting to make a difference on a larger scale
- Not only learning about building relationships, teamwork and networking in the classroom but also putting it to use, first in their cohort meetings and then at their workplaces
- Developing their own ideas while studying transformational change and then helping create change in their own organizations
- Being equipped through their studies and cohort meetings with tools and skills they didn't know they needed but that now help them see possibilities they never before imagined.
The immersion students who let us know about their new positions were:
Cindy Brase: Promoted from teacher to professional development provider for the Etiwanda School District.
Herb Callahan: Promoted twice since starting the Ed.D. program, first from regional human resources manager for Golden State Foods to corporate director of leadership development and then to senior director of human resources for McDonald's distribution. Golden State, based in Irvine, is a $7.5 billion international food manufacturer and distributor.
Rachel Donnelly: Changed from being a classroom teacher at a small independent school to an administrative role as division director of a larger Jewish day school.
Stephanie Groat: Added an additional role as coordinator of student interventions and support to her existing position of principal at Maidu Elementary School in the Eureka Union School District.
Michelle Harmeier: Changed from middle school principal in the Dixie School District in Marin County to director of human resources for the San Mateo-Foster City School District in San Mateo County.
Christine Hinkle: Promoted from assistant principal at a high school to elementary school principal in the Chino Valley Unified School District.
Jacqueline Kearns: Changed from academy director for the Vallejo City Unified School District to program manager of Accountability, Assessment & Instructional Technology for the Solano County Office of Education.
Edison Kelly: Promoted from high school principal to coordinator of student support and management.
David Kline: Promoted from principal at Turlock Junior High School to director of human resources in the Newman-Crows Landing Unified School District.
Michaelle Knight: Moved from being a professional development instructor at a vocation school to training coordinator for Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego.
Gregory Negron: Promoted from Test Evaluation & Certification group leader to branch head for Space & Naval Warfare Systems Pacific San Diego.
Elizabeth Pratt: Promoted from associate dean of Economic Workforce Development to dean of Economic Workforce Development and the District Auxiliary Service for Napa Valley Community College.
Lindsay Yossef: Moved to a higher-level analyst position at her advertising firm and was given the opportunity to teach as an adjunct for Brandman University.

{Click here for the full alphabet of intersectional feminism in romance.} The first time someone told me I was worthless because I was a girl, I was five years old. The person telling me was my next-door neighbor. He was six in chronological age, but years older than that in pure unmitigated jerkdom. Apparently, because I was a girl, it was wrong for me to play with the He-Man toy whose chest armor would flip to look dented when you hit him. I didn't have the vocabulary at the time, but three words sum up my reaction: This is bullshit. Over the next few years, I boyed it up as hard as I could -- scraped knees, sports, climbing trees, GI Joe, psychically controlled dinosaurs with laser armor -- just to prove to that kid that I could be just as good as he was. It was never going to work, and that kid never ever changed his mind, but I was borne forward on a mixture of self-defense and a stubborn, grumpy anger that smoldered in my heart like a charcoal briquette.
One of the hardest things for me to unlearn is the idea that I have to personally refute every stereotype about women in order to prove that feminism is valid. As though the theory's credibility is called into question every time I wear pink, or feel hurt or anxious about something, or decide I don't want a high-powered corporate job where I have to wear suits and use words like "synergy" and "conference call." There is a strong temptation to be All Things Good to prove that all women are capable and strong -- as though other women's humanity is dependent upon me, as though my individual abilities are admissible as evidence in the constant debate called Women: Do We Really Have To Treat Them Like Humans Or What? And part of the reason this is hard to unlearn is that there are people who believe this is, as the cartoon says, How It Works. I'm not wrong to conclude that people expect this of me: I am only wrong to conclude that I have to play by their shitty, shitty rules.
This zealous impulse dovetails a little too nicely at times with my innate perfectionism and tendency to take on more than I should. I've had to learn over the years how to back out of things, how to decline work requests, how to allow myself to make mistakes or take extra time if I need it. I've had to teach myself how to stop before I get to the point where I feel overwhelmed and panicked and end up wailing incoherently at three in the morning because there are more things to do than time to do them. I published my first book three years ago, and in the time since I've not only published four more strange little novellas but I've also become a board member of my local RWA chapter, worked on two conference planning committees, and given workshops at the Emerald City Writers' Conference for the past two years. It looks pretty intense written out like that, doesn't it? But I always feel like I'm lazy, like I'm falling behind, like I could do more or achieve more if I just gave up time-luxuries like video games or Scrubs reruns or making jewelry out of tiny beads. Who do I think I am, using my time for enjoyment and personal relaxation?
This blog project has already been hugely rewarding, but I'm a slow reader when I'm reading critically and I'm starting to feel the time pressure. So I'm giving myself a day to catch up and/or play video games and/or work on my Fancy RT Necklace -- whichever I feel like doing -- because it's important to remember that in a world stacked against us, prioritizing our own needs can be a radical and subversive act. Self-care is feminism turned inward. Not to the point where we lose sight of collective action and meaningful protest, but just to the point where we remember we're humans and humans need a break every now and again.
I did get some marvelous recommendations for the letter O. Calque suggested Octavia Butler's Wild Seed, and on Twitter Sunita suggested Line and Orbit. Author Sunny Moraine has a brave post about reactions to the latter, and learning from mistakes, and fighting against one's own privilege when creating fictional worlds.
And let me take this opportunity to suggest you check out my books page to see if anything catches your eye, because it's also hard for me to remember that brief, frank moments of non-invasive self-promotion do not make me a sellout or a nag or shill. Let me also say that if someone wants to turn the tables and give one of my romances the same critical treatment I've been giving other authors' works this month ... Well, I'll be over the moon, is what. Turnabout is fair play and highly encouraged.
Thank you so much to everyone who's retweeted and commented and listened so far, and see you again tomorrow for our regularly scheduled post, brought to you by the letter P.

Story Details
Never cook soggy pasta again thanks to this cheap kitchen gadget
Odeslat serjoža on Věda a technika
Staring at your pot until your water boils is like watching paint dry. It's a complete waste of time — time that you could have spent doing something more worthwhile.
But those of us who have attention spans akin to a goldfish tend to forget our pots altogether when we leave them alone. And that results in over-boiled ravioli or cookware that's damaged beyond repair.
How then, can you boil water without watching over it like a maniac? The answer is simple (and cheap, too): the Boiling Beeper, now available at the Mashable Shop for $17.99.
Check it out:
The Boiling Beeper is exactly what it sounds like. Made of FDA-approved food-safe material, it works with containers of all sizes. It's a kitchen timer that you pop inside the pot, and beeps when the water has reached its boiling point of 212ºF. You're then free to browse Instagram stories or perform other chores without worrying about over-boiling.

Enamel Bangle - INDIA-INK - OS - Talbots is rated out of 5 by 19.
Rated 4 out of 5 by MoMc from Beautiful Bangles I bought a bunch between this and the other Talbots bangle offered this spring and summer. The outsides of the bracelets hold up well, no chipping just the tiniest bit of wear. The inside of a couple of the bangles reacted with my skin and I get a mark on my wrist. The bangles would get 5 stars except for the reaction with my skin.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sue63 from Perfect highlight to any summer outfit! Bought this in the pinkish/red color to coordinate with Talbots long shell necklace in the magenta color. Great match and both look great together. Unfortunately I'm not sure the necklace will be a keeper but the bracelet can easily be worn on it's own... so I'm pretty sure this will be a permanent addition to my closet. Great bargain at the sale price. As an aside, I have a small wrist and most bracelets are too big but this one is a great fit!

Wow! Is my first reaction and I will admit I teared up in a few places while reading this manuscript for the soon-to-be published book. Or I can blame my post concussion symptoms where a strong emotional reaction is a symptom 😊, I think I prefer that answer.
I was engrossed from page 1! Few books do that for me as I am an avid reader and since my concussion, I have found I cannot read for too long. I did have to read this book throughout the day and take breaks, but not because of the content, but because of my brain. I was drawn to it and knew it was there on my computer!!
Amazing and if I had a scale of 1-10 with 1 being not a very good book and 10 being an awesome book……I would put this book at a solid 10!
Andrada draws the reader in from the very first page and it continues throughout the entire book. That is a wonderful skill to have as a writer. Not many have it. It is original. It is uplifting and has such an important message throughout that totally resonates with me. It is the sign of a TRUE storyteller.
One must buy this book in whatever format it is available and as I have said before, I see Andrada's book and my soon-to-be published book sitting side by side on a bookshelf with hers being fiction and mine being non-fiction. Very similar message that are positive and discuss how adversity can be overcome and make one positive and uplifting!
I also love that this book is about men, although women are discussed and characters in it as well. It is the journey of men who overcome amazing odds and turn into wonderful human-beings. If only the world was filled with individuals like this; male and female. Imagine the world we would live in vs. what it is.
Some of the quotes from the book that truly resonate with me…
"Mother, but how do we differentiate true people from the shallow ones?" the young man asked.
"My son, it's not your job to judge them. Your endeavor should be to understand them. So, every time you feel that someone treats you bad, talk to them. Learn the story behind the behavior. Everybody has a story. And some are very sad. Let's take the ones that constantly treat others poorly. More often than not, their past has been one full of hurt. Maybe they were abused (either physically or emotionally) but nobody asks them. Nobody cares for their pain. As such, in time, they learn to adapt and choose to hide behind wickedness. But nobody is born like this. They have been repeatedly hit and they were never taught that life can be beautiful. All they learned was hurt, bruises and despair. These people, who some name as bullies, are in fact looking for protection. They are looking for someone to open up to, but they're afraid of being misinterpreted. It takes time to make one of these people trust you. But with patience and compassion, they will eventually open up and shed all their pain into your palms."
"Starting today, I can finally see with open eyes. Starting today, my ears will open even more and my heart will allow warmth to take over. Starting today, I will be the heir you and your father envisioned. And starting today, I will seek for those stories behind misery and share the lessons with the world. Starting today, mother, I am a new man!"
"Though they didn't agree, they were like alumni listening to their teacher. She was teaching them another valuable lesson – she was passing along the lesson of unlimited gratitude and the power of treating all of them equally. She was teaching them that each and every soul deserved respect and that none of them was more important than the other. In her eyes, they were all still her children and they were all worthy of her love."
"Honor yourself and honor people; be kind to everyone and you shall have a blessed life"
"Never take people for granted and never gather numbers, my dears. Gather memories and build solid relationships. No-one leaves this planet with anything in their hands, you leave all material assets here. You only take one suitcase with you: the one you carry in your heart, made of lessons and memories."
Victoria Brewster, MSW, Author, Editor, and Book Reviewer- www.mswwrites.com

Whether you're a golfer looking for new accessories for your game or someone who wants to give a great gift to the golfer in your life, there are lots of choices. Whether your budget is modest or generous, check out these gadgets, clothes and gear that are sure to please golf enthusiasts.
*Jack Nicklaus Golf Balls
Jack Nicklaus Golf Balls, available with an industry-first monthly subscription service for $28 to $32, are made in the USA. The balls are "designed, tested and perfected" under active involvement of golfer Jack Nicklaus.
The balls follow a color-coding system: white balls for golfers who play the forward or white tees, blue for golfers who prefer the middle or blue tees, and black balls for those who use back or black tees.
A percentage of every dozen balls purchased is donated to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and the Nicklaus Children's Health Care Foundation and benefits pediatric programs and hospitals across the country.
*Lizzie Driver Golf Fashions
Female golfers often want more style on the links. Lizzie Driver women's golf-lifestyle fashions is meeting that need by mixing "country club fairway and your everyday."
The tops, bottoms, vests and other clothing items are available in coordinating combos and exclusive prints. Selling for $98 and up, the majority of the clothes are made in downtown Los Angeles.
*Ecco Golf Shoes
Ecco says its Biom Hybrid 2 golf shoes are the "perfect blend of fashion and function," especially because the shoes are now 15 percent lighter than the original model, with an extra-thin midsole that helps bring players closer to the playing surface.
The shoes, worn by pro golfer Fred Couples, have patented natural motion technology with an E-DTS outsole. They sell for $195 for men and $190 for women.
*Voice Caddie T1
All the information a golfer needs is available on his wrist. The Voice Caddie T1 blends fitness and golf into one device. The watch tells time, walking speed, calories burned during play and distance traveled. It also has a timer, an alarm and a rangefinder. It lasts, too -- with only one charge, the T1 provides eight hours of play. It also syncs with Voice Caddie's database of 30,000 courses, so you're ready to tee off as soon as you hit the course.
*Under Armour Sunglasses
Like wearing SPF or a hat, shielding your eyes from the sun is essential. Under Armour's new sunglass style, UA Fire, sells for $99. The glasses have high-quality lenses to block UVA light and were designed by PGA player Hunter Mahan. Rubble temples fit comfortably under a hat, and the nose pads are adjustable.
*Sol Republic Headphones
Golfers who want to listen to music while training or playing know the value of headphones that stay in place and produce quality sound.
Sol Republic Relays, which sell for $79, provide full sound while also being lightweight and sweat resistant. They're colorful, too, with choices ranging from blue to lemon lime to black and white.
Legendary golfer Tiger Woods, who wears headphones when he trains, recently announced he's partnering with Sol Republic.
*CEP Compression Socks
Compression socks can help blood circulation and muscle support. They can also help reduce muscle strain and improve a golfer's recovery time.
CEP compression socks, selling for $60 a pair, have extra-flat toe seams to prevent pressure points, as well as a stay-fit comfortable band. They also have air channels for foot ventilation and protection for the Achilles tendon.
Golfers who enjoy practicing their putting will like Putt-A-Round ball targets, which can catch golf balls from 360 degrees. Practice from any direction -- just like at the driving range. Putt-A-Round targets cost less than $40 and can be customized with a base and flags of your choosing. The product is designed, manufactured and assembled in America.
*Tattoo Golf
Golfers know you don't have to be a prep to like to hit the links. That's why companies like Tattoo Golf are filling the fashion needs of unconventional golfers.
Tattoo Golf prides itself on "personality, style and a bit of attitude" and sells everything from tees to hats to tops and more for the modern golfer.
Some of the edgier offerings include skull-and-crossbones designs. The clothes are ready for the course, too, featuring UV protection and moisture-wicking materials.
*Bubi Bottle
Staying hydrated while golfing is a must, but carrying around a lot of gear can be a drag. The Bubi Bottle, a BPA-free beverage bottle, is foldable once it's empty, and it also doubles as a hot or cold compress. It retails for $16.99.

Travel: Paris Recommendations & Day Trips
Irene Khin Wong
Being in Paris, you can't miss the exciting colorful neighborhood of The Marais; reminded me of the East Village, New York City, with talented artists and one of a kind shops. In the vicinity, you must stop for lunch at my all-time favorite classic place, Mariages Frères, which offers more than 400 different teas, ranging from Cameron Highland, Malaysia to Darjeerling Mountains of India.
Mariage Frères at Marais
In between the visits to incredible museums, a few afternoon delights that one should not missed. The well-known pastry shop le Nôtre where you can find succulent kouglof. Or stop by your local fromagerie and have a picnic with a slice of Poilâne, a famous bread manufacturer who bake his bread like an old tradition. During my visits, I enjoyed the lively restaurant Chez Omar; if you like Moroccan food, they make succulent lamb shanks, great tagine and couscous.
If you have a sweet tooth, Berthillon at L'ile St Louis is one of the must-vist Parisian spots for great gelato and a stroll around the charming island.
If you want to travel beyond Paris, there are many excursions within a day's trip. Some of my favorites:
- Versailles's glass palace and his beautiful gardens, where Marie Antoinette resided.
Marie-antoinette at Versailles
- La Normandie - walk on the beaches of Deauville and lunch at restaurant Les Vapeurs in Trouville.
- Other well known places such as the house of Jean Monet in Giverny.You can visit the garden which inspired him for his famous paintings.
- If you like wine, do visit the beautiful wine road with region like Val de Loire and the castle of Tourraine, only at 1 hour from Paris by train, with its enormous chateaux.
- One can also take a break in Bourgogne to taste Macon wine. One of the most famous roads is Champagne, near Reims, which is only 45 min by train.

Sir George Clark, 3rd Baronet
Sir George Anthony Clark, 3rd Baronet, DL (24 January 1914 – 20 February 1991) was an Orangeman and unionist politician in Northern Ireland.
The son of Sir George Clark, 2nd Baronet, of Dunlambert, Clark studied at Canford School before becoming a farmer and company director. At the 1938 Northern Ireland general election, he was elected for the Ulster Unionist Party in Belfast Dock, although he lost his seat at the 1945 general election.[1] During World War II, he served as a captain in the Black Watch, and in 1951, he succeeded as the 3rd Baronet.
Clark was elected to the Senate of Northern Ireland in 1951, serving until 1969, and acting as a Deputy Speaker from 1957 until 1959.[1] In 1954, he was appointed High Sheriff of Antrim.[2] In 1957, he became Grand Master of the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland, filling the position for ten years.[1] From 1958 to 1961, he was the Imperial Grand President of the Imperial Grand Orange Council of the World between 1958 and 1961. He also Deputy Lieutenant for the City of Belfast in 1961, and Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Ulster Unionist Council from 1967 to 1972. From 1980 to 1990, he was President of the Ulster Unionist Council, then became its Patron until his death the following year.
He married Nancy Catherine Clark (born 1927 d, 2016), her maiden name also being Clark, of Upperlands, Co. Londonderry. They had one daughter, Elizabeth (Reid). He was succeeded in the baronetcy by his brother, Sir Colin Clark, 4th Baronet.

Casually Cool
What I Wore
Dolman Top: Aerie
Knit Jeggings: American Eagle
Scarf: Cotton On
Headband: Forever 21
Layering Tank/Wedges: Target
Italian Charm Bracelets: Seen here
A ponytail and dolman top, Summer is definitely nearing and I'm dreading it as always. The only thing I really look forward to are the clothes, but you probably guessed that. Which reminds me, I must find more light scarves to wear! Anyhow, I picked up this comfortable shirt from Aerie for $7.00. They're American Eagle's sister store and sell lingerie, casual clothing, swimwear and accessories. I love how creative their shops are setup and everything they sell is real comfortable!
On a different note, I don't always think low ponytails are the best look for me but the lacey headband from Forever 21 helped to dress it up some. I get headaches if my hair is up too high and if my headbands don't have enough stretch in them. Can you relate?
Hope you all have a good start to your week!

Niner Rahmen RLT9 Alloy (FORGE GREY/ORANGE/TEAL)
jetzt mit FlatMount Disc und Gabel-ÖsenWe at Niner are big fans of the Road Less Traveled. Making independent choices is how we were founded and is how we approach the future. It is with this philosophy that we created our newest effort. Is it a 29er? A monster-cross machine? A gravel ginder? Yes. Whether you ride drop bars or flats, skinny tires or something a bit more rotund, it all depends on where you want to go. The RLT 9 doesn't define you by where you have been, but encourages you to become someone new, to take the left turn and to leave the constraints of the yellow lines behind. The first Niner designed for both 29 and 700C wheels.* Run narrower wheels and tires for brief journeys away from the beaten path, try something bigger for places where terrain is uncertain but adventure is guaranteed.
Hydroformed tubing and constructions details
Designed with a tube set similar to the proven AIR 9, the RLT 9?s tube shapes are shaped to meet Niner?s ride quality standards. Even riders who prefer the company of saguaros to the cacophony of crowds appreciate comfort and low weight. Proprietary forged dropouts are designed to reduce weight and integrate the low-profile post brake mount with the chainstay. 27.2 mm seatpost reduces road vibrations on gravel or chip seal roads and reduces body fatigue on all-day rides. When paired with the RDO Seatpost (designed for twice the flex of traditional carbon posts), fatigue is reduced even further.
Niner Carbon Fork
Niner makes the best off road rigid forks in the world and now we bring this experience to dirt roads everywhere. The RLT 9 frameset continues our award winning ways with a full carbon, gravel-tuned and custom painted Niner Carbon Fork. All Niner forks and frames are tested to mountain bike safety standards.
Internal cable routing
Full cable housing keeps the grit out of your shifting system in the nastiest conditions. Cables enter the down tube behind the head tube and exit below the BB for easy set up and low maintenance, and when you?re ready, we?ve integrated Di2 compatibility with a seatpost wiring port.
Biocentric 30
The standard PF30 bottom bracket shell offers both geared and singlespeed compatibility using the new BioCentric 30. Sometimes simplicity is the key to a triumphant journey, sometimes you need a bit of help from your (granny gear) friends.
Fire road geometry
Slightly longer CS, lower BB, Slacker HT angle are ideal for a stable ride on the rockiest of roads and still capable of winning a proper cross or 2 for the privateer.

By Todd Cohen
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — In 1903, Presbyterian Hospital and its School of Nursing were created to meet Charlotte's growing need for health care.
Today, the 593-bed regional medical center is the flagship hospital of Presbyterian Healthcare, a subsidiary of Winston-Salem-based Novant Health that also operates a children's hospital, orthopedic hospital, cancer center, surgery centers, long-term-care and home-care services and a satellite hospital in Matthews.
And the nursing school awards diplomas to 170 nurses a year.
Supporting those nonprofit operations, and community groups they work with, is the $21 million-asset Presbyterian Hospital Foundation, which has raised $38 million since it was created in 1980.
To celebrate Presbyterian's 100th anniversary by addressing its priority needs, the foundation plans in late 2003 to launch a $35 million fundraising campaign.
Funds will be used to build a new women's center and support its community programs, increase the nursing school's $11 million endowment and support the hospital's cancer, orthopedic and cardiovascular care programs.
The foundation's fundraising strategy focuses on individuals, particularly patients and their families, and on a new effort to secure planned gifts and bequests.
"What we try to do is get people thinking about philanthropy," says Rusty Brink, the foundation's executive director.
The foundation has launched a "gift-annuity" program that lets donors create a gift and receive an annual payment until their death, when the gift goes to the foundation.
Last year, the foundation received its first gift annuity, says Brink, a 34-year fundraising veteran who works closely with financial advisers and lawyers to encourage them to talk about Presbyterian with their clients.
The foundation raised $3 million last year, including nearly $500,000 for its annual fund through direct-mail solicitations to existing donors, and through two special events – a golf tournament in the spring and a "Techs and Cops" hockey game in the fall co-sponsored by Microsoft.
This year's golf tournament, to be held May 9 at Carmel Country Club, aims to net $165,000, says Brink.
The foundation also raises money through grants. As part of its Families First initiative to serve victims of domestic abuse, for example, The Duke Endowment in Charlotte recently awarded $454,000 over three years to the foundation, which is working closely on the initiative with its Novant counterparts – Forsyth Medical Center in Winston-Salem and Thomasville Medical Center in Davidson County – which also received grants.
After joining Presbyterian four years ago, one of Brink's first jobs was raising nearly $2 million for Presbyterian's Buddy Kemp Caring House, which offers psycho-social services for cancer patients and their families.
Two years ago, he himself used those services during recovery from surgery at Presbyterian for prostate cancer – an experienced that deepened his resolve to help people get involved in philanthropy, he says.
"Our hope," he says, "is to encourage people and open their eyes to what they can do to help others."

Internal Audit Management Software
Honesty, integrity, and good business practice drives many internal audit programs, but these programs are only as good as the field data identified and documented. That's where SBN's internal audit management software comes into play. Prior to performing the audit, auditors can upload the specific physical and behavior elements they will be assessing into the SBN software.
Our internal audit software solutions then allow the auditor to carry a mobile device into the field, pull up their pre-defined audit inspection list and document their observations on the mobile device, including incorporating photos, field notes and even a signature. An instant record is created, which in and of itself is objective, auditable evidence of a quality internal audit.
Try Our Mobile Internal Audit Software Solutions
At SBN, we stand behind our products, and we won't sell you a product you're not sure you will be satisfied with. We can arrange a product demonstration to show you all the features of our solution from the administrator's desktop tool to the mobile field solution, and we will even let you pilot our product so you are confident that our product is the right value for your organization.
Input data using mobile devices
Using our powerful mobile inspection software, leverage the power of mobile devices to conduct inspections on a large scale. Inspections can capture not only text but also rich media and potentially submit the data in real-time.
Store your data in the cloud
Safeguard inspection data collected on mobile devices by storing it in the cloud. This will ensure that other applications in the company infrastructure can also potentially use the inspection data, thus enabling tight integration of internal company services.
Manage inspection data remotely
Our inspection management software enables company administrators to view collected data and apply corrections or trigger actions as necessary. Integrated inspection report functionality allows administrators to escalate or deliver data as needed.

Ryan Benk reports for WJCT - "Florida's 14 nonprofit waterkeepers are asking environmental regulators to conduct an audit of the state's vulnerability to storms and sea level rise. The water watch-dogs say florida is not planning well enough for the effects of climate change. Last year, Hurricane Irma caused flooding levels in Jacksonville's urban core not seen in more than 150 years. And statewide, insurance claims nears $10 billion. Matanzas Riverkeeper Jen Lomberk said the state Department of Environmental Protection needs to do a comprehensive audit of infrastructure….The group is also asking the FDEP to restart what's called the Harmful Algal Bloom Task Force. The task force, a group of more than 20 scientists under the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission in charge of making recommendations and researching bloom causes, has gone unfunded since 2001…" Read Algae and audits: Florida Waterkeepers call on state to be more proactive planners.
Brittany Carloni reports for Naples Daily News - "Billy Norris was eager to get back to his fishing charter business in Bonita Springs and to the crystal-clear Gulf of Mexico waters in April, when he returned home from his latest tour with the U.S. Marines. 'Summer is normally our playtime,' Norris said. The water 'is beautiful. It looks like the (Florida) Keys and the Bahamas.' As his fellow fishing captains welcomed him back home, they warned him of the harmful red tide blooms that have now lingered off the Southwest Florida coast for months...Norris said he didn't believe it at first-that the red tide was as bad as his friends said-then he saw it for himself. 'It's apocalypse level stuff,' Norris said. 'People don't want to fish. We're crossing a threshold we can't recover from.'..." Read As red tide lingers in the Gulf, Southwest Florida fishing captains try to save their livelihoods.
Jim Turner for the News Service of Florida- "As they address environmental issues on the campaign trail, Florida's gubernatorial candidates are all for doing what is necessary to eliminate toxic algae outbreaks and for preserving natural springs and rivers. But the candidates' solutions are mostly general and vary on how to keep up with the state's growing population and businesses while keeping springs and rivers clean from the Panhandle to the Everglades...The gubernatorial campaign is playing out amid high-profile problems with toxic algae in waterways in Southeast and Southwest Florida. The problems stem from polluted discharges from Lake Okeechobee..." Read Candidates for Florida governor targets toxic algae outbreaks, water problems.
Jim Waymer reports for Florida Today- "Tests for cancer-causing chemicals already found at high concentrations underground at Patrick Air Force Base turned up-but at lower levels- in all three wells the city recently sampled after residents had raised cancer concerns, city officials said Wednesday. The presence of the compounds at three random wells is a matter of concern for officials and residents alike, and has the city discussing what comes next and where else to look. 'It's unfortunate that it's there,' City Manager Courtney Barker said of the chemicals associated with fire extinguishing foams, Teflon and other consumer products. The chemicals, perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), are unregulated. But science is finding that even at low exposures, these compounds are implicated in some types of cancer, thyroid defects, immune suppression and pregnancy complications, according to several scientific studies in recent years…" Read Satellite Beach finds cancer-causing chemicals in groundwater.
Jessica Salmond reports for Cape Coral Daily Breeze - "Restoring the Everglades is a multifaceted, multi-project undertaking. Even though the Everglades is south of Lake Okeechobee, part of the restoration effort is occurring north of the lake, too. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is taking public comment on a project north of Lake Okeechobee: the Lake Okeechobee Watershed Restoration Project...The Lake Okeechobee project hones in on the water coming into the lake from the Kissimmee River. Estimated at $1.4 billion, it will establish a wetland attenuation feature, two restored and managed wetland areas, and 80 aquifer storage and recovery wells...The Corps will be able to divert the Kissimmee River through the two planned wetland restoration areas, which will help clean the water and slow its arrival into Lake Okeechobee. Lisa Aley, the Corps Planning Lead, gave a history lesson on why this storage north is needed. In 1947, a series of bad floods prompted the government to start managing the state's rivers and lakes to prevent homes and businesses from being flooded out year after year - draining southwest Florida, she said It caused the environmental issues the state faces today, but also allowed more development on dry land which was historically wet. The Kissimmee River also used to have a more winding, meandering path, which slowed the water's arrival to the lake. 'We've lost a lot of natural storage north of the lake,' she said…" Read Army Corps reviews storage project for north of Lake Okeechobee.
Katie Pohlman reports for the Ocala Star Banner - "Work began this week on a 55-acre swath of land just east of the Pine Oaks Golf Course that will turn the current disc golf course, which is shaded by large oak trees draped in Spanish moss, into a three-pond groundwater recharge park with walking trails...Ocala's City Council unanimously approved plans for the $6 million Wetland Groundwater Recharge Park, located in the 22000 block of Northwest 21st Street, at a May meeting...The Wetland Groundwater Recharge Park will consist of three ponds with varying depths, equipped with plants that will help further filter the treated water before it returns to the upper Floridan aquifer. About 2.5 miles of trails will encircle the park and cross over the ponds at certain points, according to a conceptual drawing of the site...Recharge water currently entering the upper Floridan aquifer, which feeds Silver Springs, goes through a multi-step cleaning process that involves bacteria breaking down solids, separating solids from the water, chlorinating the water and then pushing it out to different locations. Plants will help filter out more nutrients, such as nitrogen, which can lead to algae blooms, and phosphorous…" Read Crews begin work on groundwater recharge park.
From The Nature Conservancy press - "Congressional leaders should be commended for working together to leave dangerous rollbacks of the Endangered Species Act and the National Environmental Policy Act on the cutting room floor,' said Lynn Scarlett, Co-Chief of External Affairs at The Nature Conservancy. 'With passage of a NDAA bill without these proposals, the important collaborative work on the ground to find long-term solutions for conserving imperiled species, like the greater sage grouse and lesser prairie chicken, can continue. While we are pleased with this development, the future of the Endangered Species Act is far from secure. Repeated proposals by the administration and members of Congress to undercut or weaken the act jeopardize the long-term survival of at-risk species. While there is room for exploring ways to update and improve the implementation of the Endangered Species Act, these species-specific attacks undercut that work and make it nearly impossible to have serious discussions about ways to improve the act and its implementation. However, any changes to the act or implementing regulations must be focused on enhancing outcomes for species. The Nature Conservancy will not support changes that diminish or weaken the core protections of the Act."

– 26th Sun of the 1st Astral Moon
She's gone.
When I saw the signs I should've done something. I didn't. I woke up this morning and found a note and a empty bed.
I've never felt more hollow in my entire life. I've never felt so alone. So small.
On just the other page I talked about turning things around, but there's no turning around from this. I don't know what to do. I don't know where to go. I feel lost.
My calm is gone. The one thing I knew I could count on to remind me that the world wasn't an entirely shitty place is gone.
Why did she go?
Her letter said she wanted to find her parents, but she must have known that I would've come with her. I would've been aboard the Raven to help her in moments. But I'm not. She didn't ask. Didn't she trust me? Was I just in the way? Was I just comfort until she found a lead, no matter how many summers it took? Was I even that?
Zho, I'm sorry. I wish I knew what it was I did wrong. I wish I knew why you didn't think I could come with you. I wish…
I wish for a lot of things. I think that about sums it up, what I wrote already.
I wish I knew why.

Stephen Broden, a Republican running for Congress in Texas' 30th District, said he would not rule out a violent overthrow of the government if the midterm elections don't cause a change in government, saying that "our nation was founded on violence" so "the option is on the table."
Why is it when the Right promotes treason, its patriotic?

Autumn is here
Well there is no denying it any longer. We had our first significant frost last night. I wrapped the exposed pipes last night and brought in the house plants. And put away the shorts. Autumn is here!
Most of my life, I've lived in places where the transition between seasons was subtle and gradual. I'm used to Spring and Fall going on for a couple of months at least. In Colorado you're lucky if you get any transition at all. We had a pretty hot summer, so I was looking forward to some moderate weather. I got three weeks. The foot hills are already covered with snow. It shouldn't last, but the change is in full swing.

10:10 Project
What made anyone think this was a good idea is beyond me. It not even funny. This one at least is pretty humorous. The 10:10 project was indended to draw attention to October 10th being a day dedicated to climate change. Sony pulled their sponsorship when they saw the ad. Due to the reaction the video has been taken down from 10:10's website.

Aspen's changing color near Aspen
There is a place near Aspen Colorado called Maroon Lake. The mountain peaks surrounding this insignificant lake are called the Maroon Bells. The Maroon Bells are one of the most over photographed places in Colorado. I'll post a photo or two of them later in the week. I caught this scene of Aspen's changing color along the road to the Maroon Bells about a week and a half ago. It was our first time there. We plan to go back.

A Strange Practical Joke
I awoke a little over a week ago to find a crude flyer attached to my garage door. It had the words Big Brother is Watching You, along with the INGSOC logo. I immediately recognized it from the novel 1984 but didn't understand what it was doing there. Looking around at my neighbors homes, I saw a handful of them sporting the same flyer. Asking around I discovered that the flyers had been posted on many of the surrounding streets.
I still don't know why someone went to so much effort to send such an obscure message. Many of my neighbor's had never heard of the novel and had no idea what it referenced, they were just angry someone had violated their personal space. As far as I could tell, it wasn't some sort of anniversary of the novel.

Since I of course would never blog on company time, that has made it very hard to do many posting. Things should pick up in the next week.

All to do about nothing
During my life time the biggest cause of Federal deficits has been tax cuts. It started with Reagan, and continues to this day. Is it any surprise that Clinton both raised taxes and reduced the deficit. Yet the Right has the delusion that tax breaks are somehow separate from the deficit. Its magic money that is automatically offset by an improved economy. And failing to extend the cuts, which even the Bush administration thought was unnecessary, will cause economic collapse. Unfortunately reality has never worked this way, not that the facts ever get in the way of a good sound bite.
The Washington Post points out that letting the Bush tax cuts lapse will not cause the economy to collapse, but rather will impact a very small amount of the population.

Here is a more recent photo of the site's namesake Kelly. The little black dog is nine this year and has become quite a gray old lady.
The little black dog is perturbed with me today. I stained the deck in the back yard and had to fence it off from canine curiosity until it finishes drying. This is clearly an imposition. In the canine world change is bad.

The first Decoration Day
David W. Blight has a fantastic article about the The first Decoration Day.
Thousands of black Charlestonians, most former slaves, remained in the city and conducted a series of commemorations to declare their sense of the meaning of the war. The largest of these events, and unknown until some extraordinary luck in my recent research, took place on May 1, 1865. During the final year of the war, the Confederates had converted the planters' horse track, the Washington Race Course and Jockey Club, into an outdoor prison. Union soldiers were kept in horrible conditions in the interior of the track; at least 257 died of exposure and disease and were hastily buried in a mass grave behind the grandstand. Some twenty-eight black workmen went to the site, re-buried the Union dead properly, and built a high fence around the cemetery. They whitewashed the fence and built an archway over an entrance on which they inscribed the words, "Martyrs of the Race Course."
Then, black Charlestonians in cooperation with white missionaries and teachers, staged an unforgettable parade of 10,000 people on the slaveholders' race course.

First trip to Mt. Evans of the year
Mt Evans is one of the handful of 14 thousand foot peaks here in the front range of Colorado. Typically he road is only open from Memorial day to Labor day. Less, if we have late spring or early winter snows. The road opened yesterday for this summer season, so we took a drive to the summit this afternoon.
Mt. Evans is unique in that it has a paved road that stops only a couple hundred feet from the summit. There used to be an inn at the summit. It burned down in the 1970's. A typical end for many mountain dwellings. The ruins are still in good shape.
The road was completely clear, but the lakes were frozen and there were large drifts along the road.
This last shot is looking from the summit back down toward the old inn and the end of the road. The trail was drifted and icy, but not technical.

The mobile app market is constantly growing. As a result, the competition is becoming considerably more fierce, and while as a rule the major app outlets pocket 30% of an app's gross revenue, there's still a lot of money to be made in mobile apps. Developers are must go beyond their software skills to understand the vagaries of the mobile app market in order to be successful, and the pricing of a particular mobile app, it turns out, is one of the key factors in determining its success or failure. Over the next three weeks we'll be taking a look at how developers should approach pricing for their mobile apps before they release them in the store.
The first decision you'll have to make is whether to charge a fixed fee for your mobile app or make it free to download. You need to bear in mind that a consumer's thought process is fundamentally different when faced with the choice of downloading a free app versus downloading a paid app. When users are sitting in a Starbucks browsing through an app store, they will rarely (if ever) take into consideration the fact that they can download five or six paid apps and still shell out less than the cost of their latté. What they do ask themselves when considering the purchase of a paid app is, "Do I really need this?"
For free-to-download apps, on the other hand, that question never even comes up. While desktop users are generally (and correctly) wary of downloading anything free for fear that their computers will be clogged up with useless toolbars and malware, the mobile app ecosystem is steadily trending to a point where the free mobile app is the rule rather than the exception. This isn't to suggest that the free download is the best way to go in all circumstances, however. If your app is sophisticated, useful, well received, and well reviewed, charging for it can potentially be very lucrative and generate a higher level of customer loyalty. Next week we'll take a look at more specific considerations for developers who prefer to charge for their apps.

TNNA Wrap-up
First, let me introduce myself, I'm Jess Awesome (aka jessimuhka on Ravelry) and I'll be doing some blogging here at the Anzula blog. If you've been by the Anzula booth at TNNA or Stitches West, you've probably met me. I joined Sabrina on the cross country drive to TNNA the beginning of this month, and here's how it went. We left Fresno the afternoon of June 5th and took the I-70 across the country. Along the way we picked up new yarn shops in Colorado, Kansas, and Missouri! You can see all our new shops on the where to buy page. In Kansas City, we met The Sexy Knitter and she took us out for an awesome BBQ dinner.
After Kansas City, we stopped in St. Louis and visited Kirkwood Knittery. Their shop is very cute! Brooke is working with our Breeze yarn, and it looks great.
We also picked up a new shop in St. Charles (near St. Louis) and managed to get some pictures of the owner of Knit & Caboodle picking out colors.
All the shops we stopped in were lovely, but unfortunately we didn't get pictures of most of them. Once we got to Ohio, it was time to set up for the show. We had small sample skeins of each line so that shop owners could choose from all the available colors. Here's a picture of the mini-skeins of Sebastian getting ready to go to the show.
The show was tons of fun. We met loads of great people, and had fun mingling at the Ravelry Ice Cream Social. Now we know why people were going on and on about Jeni's Ice Cream, it's delicious. I might have had ice cream for dinner a couple of the nights we were there. Set up and tear down went smoothly, thanks to some lovely helpers. Much thanks to Chris, Jenny, and Mary Catherine! On the drive back we took the I-40 route and picked up one more shop in Missouri.
All together, including shops picked up on the way out and back, Anzula yarn and fiber will be available in 18 new shops! The new shops will start receiving their orders at the end of summer. Remember, now that Anzula is wholesale only, any shop that carries our products can make a special order for you. Let your favorite local shop know what you'd like, and they can place the order with us. We'll get it to your shop as quickly as possible.
