Last week was a week of quitting.
I quit drinking early last week so that I could try Methotrexate for my RA. By midweek, I was ready to quick blogging entirely (archive this shit and take it off of my to-do list). By Thursday, I coined the phrase, "I have done enough," after deciding I was sick of waking up every morning and claiming that I would "do better"/"do more" today, like yesterday wasn't enough. Saturday, I was ready to rip out the seams of our ottoman and recover it. Yesterday I quit during our long run.
At the end of September, my therapist told me I was doing an excellent job of setting boundaries. Not two weeks later, my best friend was reminding me to breathe, not to quit anything before bed.
Somewhere in the quitting, I told Dan that I was going to cut down the Boxwood in the backyard. We know little about landscaping; we're making it up as we go along. Years ago, someone landscaped our backyard, but no one tended it. We've spent (almost) two years trying to figure it out. I wanted to rip out the Boxwood; it was in the way of my imagined festoon lighting.
I was telling Dan my grand plan (grand, cheap, and semipermanent) for the fire pit that we don't have and the two strings of festoon lighting I bought on sale. "I'll just dig this guy up," I said, pointing to the Boxwood.
Our Boxwood had never heeded to shaping as Boxwoods are supposed it. It always seemed a little too tall. I threatened to bonsai it, and then to pull it up. I mean, there was a roundish-square-shaped evergreen bush that didn't go with anything else in our backyard.
When I pointed to the Boxwood, I thought a storm had blown a fake flower onto it. The flower wasn't a fake. Our Boxwood was not a Boxwood.
There was one single Camellia bloom and buds everywhere. It is a Japanese Camellia.

I am so excited to be celebrating our fourth birthday! It has been an incredible four years that have been filled with more fun, joy, connection and closeness than I expected. My little idea of giving the gift of a moment to families has turned into so much more.
The best part of Portraits that Move, for me, is our clients. I get a thrill when we meet a new client for the first time and I feel a sense of coming home when we make a new video for a returning client. I love our families so much and feel grateful to them for welcoming us into their homes and into their lives. My world has expanded from Portraits That Move and I hope we have spread our love and joy to you and those you love.
I want to also shout out to all of the people who work on our Portraits that Move videos. This is a team process and we have the best team. Special thanks to Liz, for all that you do - you are a serious gift to this company.
As we start our fifth year, we are going to be celebrating more. We are amping up our joy as we create more videos for special celebrations starting with our new Bar and Bat Mitzvah videos.
The feeling is festive over here and we would never be here without you. Thank you, thank you for being part of our community. Thank you for allowing us to share in your joy. It means the world and we can't wait to wake up every day and keep creating.
With the deepest gratitude and a lot of cake,
PS - We have a birthday gift just for you! In honor of our 4th birthday, we are giving away $100 PTM gift cards to the first four people who comment #HappyBirthdayPTM on our Instagram by 6:00 p.m. TODAY (3/1/18)!

Don't deny the Air Force ROTC scholarship. You need to think of this logically.
The Air Force is offering you an active-duty officer position within the United States Air Force upon graduation. The FBI is offering you an internship that does not by any means guarantee you a job with the FBI after completion of the internship. In other words, think of ROTC like an internship leading to a full-time job with the Air Force and the FBI internship not necessarily leading to a full-time job with the FBI.
I would argue that being in the Air Force as an officer would be more useful in landing a job as a criminal investigator in the future than the FBI internship would be.
Take the Air Force scholarship. Chances are, you can still do the internship, but if not, the Air Force is the better long-term investment. The FBI internship might offer a more exciting and enjoyable experience (let's be real, ROTC isn't all too fun usually), but it doesn't give you a foundation like ROTC does after graduation.
My $.02.

I did start....without being too specific, so far so good.
I did some digging and got some info straight from the people who would know...
They did in fact stop working on backgrounds for a while and started up again oct 1
Since then they have been bringing people in as their backgrounds clear
They have had a few small groups come in together but are probably going to hold off on bringing in another group until January, when they can bring in more at once
Does that mean that everyone will be in by January? No
But, they are not going to have the VIP or HIP open for application this year, only cyber
Remember, the email from back in July said if you weren't in by the end of the school year, you'd get a spot in summer 15

Well this has been very silent for a while but I'm going to give it a try. Has anybody heard anything. I got an email a few weeks ago asking if I was still interested and I replied yes but I haven't heard anything after that and it is almost May. Does anybody have some info?

I know of one intern that came on in January or February and has since moved on to a full time position. Best way to keep up with the information is to contact your Recruiter or point of contact you have dealt with throughout.

Stop. This behavior is nowhere professional nor appropriate for this type of forum. If you want to bicker, then I suggest exchanging emails and doing it there.
This forum is suppose to be informative, not degrading. Some individuals don't understand certain things, yet, and that's OK.

Out of Order
As a newbie food blogger, it somehow never occurred to me that what I blog about will be inevitably linked to what I eat in any given week, especially if I want to have accompanying photos and/or do not already have a backlog of recipes and pictures poised for the posting (which I do not…yet). This left me in somewhat of a pickle, because I had put together notes and ideas for the items I wanted to showcase in the Mix-and-Match month of May, and, darnitall if I just didn't want to make things in that order. I mean, all the main courses in one week? Oy. Now believe you me, I have a sensational mac and cheese recipe on the back burner for you, and a kickin' chili just waiting to sizzle your taste buds, but, with the sun shining and the days getting longer, all I wanted to do was munch asparagus and gaze lovingly at the tiny sproutlets on my window sill, pushing out of the dirt, growing big and strong for my backyard garden.
And so, in the manner of someone still evolving into a new role, I am slightly altering my previous plan for the month. I intend to bring you a few dishes from each category just as promised, but I'm not going to do it in the format of one week of main dishes, followed by one week of starches, etc. We're going to do a smattering of this, then a smattering of that, different meal-parts interspersed, and will end up with an excellent arsenal of recipes for you to choose from and make your own. Conveniently, all my recipes on this site are categorized by meal-part, so you can easily sort by main dishes, veggies, starches, desserts, etc.
Now let me get back to my sprout-watching. I kid! Back to the recipe-drawing board.
Cut me a little slack, friends. I'm learning.

Learn About Cuba at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science
On October 26th, the Denver Museum of Nature and Science will open the doors to an exciting new exhibit. Called ¡CUBA!, the exhibit will transport visitors from Denver to the island nation of Cuba in the Caribbean Ocean.
Since the country has historically been closed off to much of the world, its fascinating culture and rich ecosystems are not well-known to a lot of Americans. However, the museum is aiming to introduce Denverites to Cuba and the many things that make this nation so unique.
What You Can Expect
Stroll through a "plaza" in the exhibit that is meant to mimic city squares found in the capital Havana and other urban areas. As you walk around, different elements of Cuban culture will emerge.
Among the many things, visitors will listen to a Cuban radio station, view a vintage Chevrolet that can be found on the streets of Cuba, and explore the history of Cuban cigars (one of the country's main exports). You'll also find compelling art pieces by Cuban artists.
Additionally, nature lovers will enjoy learning about the island's amazing biodiversity. The museum has on display several dioramas of ecosystems around Cuba. Guests have a chance to see rare animals that can only be found in the region. Have you ever wanted to see the largest owl in history (hint: it was 39 inches tall)? Then you definitely do not want to miss this!
Although not a part of the exhibit itself, the museum's IMAX theater will also be showing a film called Cuba 2D. This is your chance to see the country come to life on the big screen.
Plan Your Visit
The exhibit will run until January 2019, so there are plenty of opportunities to see it in the next few months.
The Denver Museum of Nature and Science opens from 9 AM to 5 PM daily. You can simply buy a general admission ticket to see ¡CUBA!. However, if you'd like to visit the IMAX theater to watch Cuba 2D, make sure to purchase a package that will cover it.
You can learn more about buying your tickets on the museum's website.
Residents of Alexan West Highland are able to enjoy a variety of fun activities near their home. Please contact us today to learn more about living in our community.


text: Share: Comments Print September 30, 2009 at 11:28 AM Drew Barrymore: In the director's chair for "Whip It" Posted by Moira Macdonald I have never met Drew Barrymore, but I think of her a little protectively; she exudes such warmth and sweet vulnerability, in all of her screen roles, that you come to think of her as a friend. So I was a bit worried before seeing "Whip It," her debut as a director — would it disappoint? Some actors (Clint Eastwood, George Clooney, Robert Redford) transition into directors quite nicely; others (Kevin Spacey's "Beyond the Sea" comes to mind) find the switch less graceful. You'll see my full review of "Whip It" tomorrow, but Barrymore rises to the occasion, with her trademark loopy charm intact. It's a sweet girl-meets-roller-derby tale, not too ambitious but nicely handled, with an especially fine touch with her actors (particularly Ellen Page and Marcia Gay Harden, as daughter and mother). Barrymore, who's already donned roller skates on screen (in the second "Charlie's Angels" movie), spoke to the New York Times about directing "Whip It," and the expectations on her: "People say, 'Did you always want to direct?' or 'Do you think you'll ever direct again?' I'm always very polite about it," she said, adding, with good-natured defiance, "Do you really think I haven't been preparing for this my whole life? And I'm just going to try it once and then never do it again? It baffles me. And then I just think, 'Oh God, they just don't know me.' " But I especially loved the quote that closes the story. It's very Drew — at least, the Drew that so many of us feel like we know: "I sort of collected everything from my whole life into this piggy bank, and I crashed it over the floor for this film." The girls are back: Drew Barrymore, Ellen Page and Kristin Wiig in "Whip It." Photo by Darren Michaels, courtesy of Fox Searchlight. Comments

KABUL • Thousands of protesters marched with coffins containing the decapitated bodies of seven Shi'ite Hazaras through the Afghan capital Kabul to demand justice for the gruesome beheadings, which the United Nations says may be considered a war crime.
Demonstrators gathered in west Kabul yesterday and walked through the rain, bearing the coffins draped in green to the gates of the presidential palace, where organisers said they were planning to stage a sit-in until their demands were met by the government.
"The people are asking why the government has been indifferent towards these crimes, people are demanding the resignation of the heads of the government because they have been inefficient and corrupt and never address the demands of the people," said Mr Jawad Sultani, a university lecturer at the protests.
The number of protesters outside the palace dwindled to dozens after police fired warning shots in the air, though many people remained in the streets.
The three million-strong mostly Shi'ite Hazara community has been persecuted for decades.
There has been a surge in violence against the Hazara this year, with a series of kidnappings and killings that have triggered a wave of fury on social media.
The circumstances surrounding the beheadings remain unclear. The bodies of the seven victims, who are believed to have been held hostage by unknown gunmen for months, were found last Saturday in Zabul province, where fighting between rival Taleban groups has escalated in recent days.
President Ashraf Ghani has condemned the killings and promised an investigation, but the crimes have fuelled a growing sense of insecurity since the Taleban briefly seized control of the key northern city of Kunduz in late September.
The UN has followed the Afghan government and the US in condemning the killings, suggesting they may have been a war crime.

Hi All. I've been gaming off and on for about 30 years (man and boy) and have had a bit of a long hiatus. Last time I played was when D&D 3.0 came out, but I just updated myself with 4e and, despite what I've read about it in online reviews, I want to give it a fair go.
The trouble is that I live in Denmark, far from home, and I'm having trouble finding someone to play face to face (I ask my friends and they look at me like a dog that's just been shown a card trick).
I'm a fairly experienced DM, but not quite acquainted with this online system so would prefer to play a bit until I found my feet (I'm sure they were at the end of my legs last time I looked).
So I'm hoping to play online. If anyone out there wants to give an old timer a new experience (no lewd comments please) then please get in touch by private message.
PS: Time zone is Europe, which is USA Eastern +6 hours. Weekend evening gaming would suit me best, especially with two rugrats using me as a mobile climbing frame / trampoline most of the day.

Ha, I'll have to remember that one. Perfectly describes the reaction I often get trying to introduce new people to roleplaying.Goddball wrote:(I ask my friends and they look at me like a dog that's just been shown a card trick).
Good luck finding a game. Seems that most of the people trying to set up public games are players though, not GMs.
Unfortunately my VT games won't be open to invites til I finish my current project (a tile mapping app), which will likely be quite a while.

52 Weeks of Happy (34/52)
I'm late with this one this week. I'm having to publish two posts in one day which I hate as it means one little post will be overlooked (so please pop by and say hi to the earlier post too if you're reading this one!).
I'm so grateful for this project though, it's become a happy habit and although I have to look hard for the happies some weeks, it's only ever surface problems that make them difficult to find.
Looking back over the weeks of photographs that have built up since we started this project, I realise how very lucky I am, what a blessed and easy life we have compared to some and how most of our happies have come from experiences and moments, not possessions. This makes me happy.
This week's happies:
∆ Looking around our rather untidy house and smiling. It tells the story of impromptu play dates, burgeoning hobbies and a rather cobbled-together make-it-up-as-you-go-along-life being lived. After 18 months, the boys properly regard our cottage as home and I can't imagine us living anywhere else now.
∆ Making Xavi's party invites. Oh, we have such plans for a beautifully simple outdoor celebration. Please don't let it rain.
∆ I got new glasses this week. I don't wear them but I smeared moisturiser in my eye which triggered a whole series of optician appointments, a changed prescription, new lenses and therefore new glasses. I made this picture and sent it to my husband to make him laugh.
∆ Drying washing on the line. Finally the weather is behaving. Long may it continue.

Update: Best supermarket for online grocery shopping – a comparison
Time to see how the online supermarket shopping world has changed. I looked at Waitrose, Ocado, Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons and Asda. I know that Iceland delivers, but I find that their range is limited, so I am not including them.
I evaluated the supermarkets on the following and in each category, the top supermarket comes in at position 1. Of course, one position 1 doesn't mean everything is fanastic, so my top supermarket is the one that has the highest number of 1s and 2s, and this time we have joint winners: Ocado and Tesco, but remember if you want quality food, go to Waitrose, but be ready to pay more…it's really up to you, but I hope that my research will help you.
Categories evaluated on were delivery charges, Minimum spend, Delivery …
Supermarket vegetable price drop madness
The best news for us veggie lovers is a 2.5 kg bag of potatos for 25 p, or do you fancy a brocolli for 28 p? Supermarkets are always conducting price wars, and these vegetable price cuts are definitely making me a happy bunny.
As you may know, I am loyal to no supermarket. I shop at M&S (don't think I've had one bad thing from there ever!), Sainsbury's, Tesco, Co-op, Morrisons and Aldi. Basically, I try to steer away from Waitrose as those prices scare me just a little bit…I had to do without brocolli the last and only time I did a weekly shop there, as it was £2…gulp. I don't mind paying for quality, but there's a limit.
Anyway, the Aldis and the Lidls are basically making larger supermarkets a bit hot …
Morrisons vegetables for 28 p
Yep, you read it right, a penny cheaper than Asda! So Morrisons have got a promo on at the mo, where some vegetables are super cheap. I bought carrots, brocollis, potatoes for 28 p each, and there were other veggies there too.
It really is heating up in the supermarket wars! And the pack sizes are not stingy either at Morrisons. The carrots are 1kg for 28 p, would have been 68 p normally. Brocolli which tends to be around 49 p for the cheapest and 500 g swede which would be around 50 – 75 p normally.
Oh and if you can't get to Morrisons store, go and shop on line as most of the same discounts apply, though I couldn't find the potatoes.…
Asda online shopping – a review
I wanted to try out a few different online grocery shopping experiences and now it's Asda's turn. I have booked my £2.50 delivery at Sunday lunchtime for 2 – 4 pm on Monday.
Asda states that it has over 1,000 discounted items so I was keen to get my bargain grocery shopping underway. I ordered over £133 worth of shopping across 82 items. I managed to buy about £33 on offers, the rest of my shop was full price.
Here's what I thought of the experience.
1. More expensive replacements were provided when an item wasn't available.
2. They have nice quality and variety across their own ranges.
3. Fantastic delivery slot availability.
1. Alphabetically arranged items when I shoppped on my mobile, not sure if that works, as I saw Chinese, then …

BURLINGTON, Ont. – Ontario University Athletics (OUA) is excited to announce the 2016 cross country major awards and all-stars.
Queen's Gaels standout Claire Sumner (Calgary, Alta.) set the pace at the OUA Cross Country Championship in Etobicoke, Ont. last Sunday, finishing atop the podium in a time of 20:16.7
Sumner, a fourth-year psychology student-athlete, was named Women's MVP and a first-team all-star for her efforts, becoming just the third Gaels runner to be crowned individual champion since 1982.
After finishing fifth in the event a season ago, the Calgary, Alta. native turned a strong regular season into a gold medal performance, outlasting University of Toronto Varsity Blues rookie Lucia Stafford (Toronto) in a sprint for the finish line.
Coming off a win earlier in the season on the Centennial Park course, Stafford entered the OUA Championship considered by many as a gold medal contender and she didn't disappoint. Representing her hometown Blues, Stafford finished just .3 seconds back of Sumner on her way to being named Women's Rookie of the Year.
The Gryphons women's team won an unprecedented 13th consecutive championship title and once again this year, Guelph head coach Dave Scott-Thomas has been selected by his peers as the Women's Coach of the Year. This is the fifth time in the past six seasons that Scott-Thomas has been recognized with the award.
When she isn't racing with the Laurentian Voyageurs, Marissa Lobert (Sault Ste Marie, Ont.) is heavily involved in community initiatives, both locally and abroad and is this year's recipient of the Women's Community Service Award.
Last summer, Lobert, a fourth-year nursing student-athlete, volunteered with Action International, where she travelled to the Philippines to assist at the Shalom Christian Birthing Home helping women leading up to, during and after the birth of their babies. Back in her hometown of Sault Ste. Marie, Lobert coached five and seven year old girls soccer teams in the Sault Youth Soccer League and helped organize tours and team breakfasts for the Laurentian Challenge Elementary School Races. Lobert was named an Academic All-Canadian in 2015-16 and earlier this year placed 1st overall at the Laurentian Open.
On the men's side, Windsor Lancers runner Corey Bellemore (Windsor, Ont.) topped the field to claim the individual gold medal at the OUA championship. Bellemore completed the 10-kilometre race in 30:35.8 and was named Men's MVP and a first-team all-star.
Running for his hometown Lancers, Bellemore finished eight second ahead of the second place finisher, Lakehead Thunderwolves Kevin Tree (Tottenham, Ont.) , who crossed the finish line in 30:43.2. Bellemore becomes the first Windsor runner to win the individual championship since former student-athlete Cristiano Mauricio in 2005.
Making his OUA championship debut, Western Mustangs runner Muhumed Sirage turned in a 15th place performance on his way to being named Rookie of the Year.
A late surge from Sirage is a major reason why the Mustangs men's team captured gold, ending the Guelph Gryphons remarkable 11 year run of dominance and giving Western their first men's cross country banner since 1988.
With the Mustangs bringing the H.R. Little Cup back to Western University for just the seventh time since the trophy was award in 1912, head coach Guy Schultz has been honoured by his fellow coaches as the Men's Coach of the Year for the first time in his career.
In his fifth and final season, McMaster Marauders standout Gabriel Ghiglione (York, Ont.) has been recognized for his efforts off the trails with Men's Community Service Award.
Since 2013, Ghiglione has been the President of the McMaster ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) Society where he is responsible for organizing fundraising and awareness efforts, including the ALS Hamilton Walk which raised over $110,000 last year alone. The York, Ont. native has also been a member of McMaster Athletes Care (MAC) since 2012 and recently was elected as an executive member of the group. Ghiglione has also helped organize McMaster Athletic & Recreational Think Pink Breast Cancer Awareness Week and is an active member of the Canadian Centre for Ethics & Sport's 'Succeed Clean' initiative. In the spring Ghiglione was honoured with the Les Prince Award which recognizes the Marauder who best combines leadership and community service. In one of the final races of his university career, Ghiglione was named a second-team all-star after placing 14th overall at the OUA championship.

I was looking for information and more predominately literature including user or maintainence manuals for the VIC System magnetically attached crawlers.
Apparently the original firm that manufactured these have gone out of business. I am currently in the process of overhauling a unit and some literature would assist in this effort.
Anyway I hope someone out there has some bits and pieces laying about collecting dust to assist in my restoration project.

Nuts are rich in enzymes, as well as other nutrients, but they also contain enzyme inhibitors. Unless deactivated, these enzyme inhibitors can put great strain on the digestive system. Sprouting, soaking in warm acidic water, sour leavening, culturing and fermenting—all processes used in traditional societies—deactivate enzyme inhibitors, thus making nutrients more readily available.
My almonds, cashews and walnuts all undergo the sprouting process, thus maximizing the essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients in the raw nuts. It also creates a delicious, and uniquely crunchy nut. Our nuts are OIL AND SALT FREE! Snacking has never been so healthy.
I'm very proud of the fact that my product is all homegrown in the USA and locally sourced.
- Almonds, like most nuts, were thought to have too much fat to be a healthy snack. Research has debunked that belief as an old myth.
- One study showed that three ounces of almonds a day actually lowered a person's cholesterol by 14%.
- 90% of the fat in almonds is unsaturated fat, and frequent consumption, as a result, could help lower blood cholesterol levels.
- Almonds are loaded with protein, fiber, calcium, magnesium, potassium, vitamin E and other antioxidants and phytochemicals.
- The folic acid in almonds is believed to help lower levels of homocystein, the amino acid that is thought to contribute to the buildup of fatty plaque in the arteries.
- And studies have shown links between nut consumption and lower risk of cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and other chronic illnesses.
- A Mediterranean study found that over the course of 28 months, frequent nut consumers gained less weight than whose who never ate nuts, and were 43% less likely to become overweight or obese.
- In a nutshell, almonds are an excellent source of fiber, vitamin E, zinc, selenium, copper, potassium, phosphorus, biotin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron.

Morton Horwitz on the public-private distinction (1982)
Legal historian Morton Horwitz wrote, "The distinction between public and private realms arose out of a double movement in modern political and legal thought." He concluded that the distinction was breaking down as "private institutions were acquiring coercive power that had formerly been reserved to governments."
"Women and Pockets" (1885)
"The straights to which helpless woman has been subjected by the absence of pockets in her gowns have wrung from her many complaints that have availed her nothing."
The telegraph and the domestic home
"American District Telegraph Company was originally conceptualized as a business service, but it quickly began to sell itself as a service for the home as well."
Locke: "where there is no law, there is no freedom"
In 1689, John Locke wrote that "the end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom."
Thoughts on Meyer v. Nebraska and its connection to Griswold v. Connecticut
In the 1923 case of Meyer v. Nebraska, which grew out of the anti-German sentiment of World War I, the Supreme Court "upheld the right of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their children by striking down … a state statute prohibiting the teaching of any modern language other than English in any public or private grammar school." How does this relate to Griswold v. Connecticut, which created a "right to privacy" (at least in terms of marital relations)?
Griswold v. Connecticut, privacy, and the home
Griswold v. Connecticut is one of the foundational cases of a constitutional "right to privacy" in the United States – though, as many have pointed out, the word "privacy" does not appear in the text of the Constitution itself. The precedent in the majority opinion by Justice Douglas is nonetheless strong and deeply rooted in tradition.
The Supreme Court and James Q. Whitman's "The Two Western Cultures of Privacy: Dignity Versus Liberty"
James Q. Whitmore reveals an interesting contrast: whereas American law and rhetoric is strongest when privacy is approached as a protection against state interference, privacy protections in Germany and France are at their peak when the dignity of the individual is at stake. Justice Kennedy, interestingly, emphasizes this more European approach in a number of his Supreme Court decisions.
Thoughts on the Power and the Limits of Presidential Pardons
Was President Trump right when he tweeted that "all agree the U. S. President has the complete power to pardon"? It is true that the power of the President of the United States to issue pardons is indeed one of the president's most powerful Article II powers – but, it is also, despite the implication of President Trump's tweet, limited.

Amnesty International warns that failure to act swiftly on climate change risks human rights violation on massive scale, and that even carbon removal is likely to violate human rights
Autor(a): Amnesty International, Publicado en: 11 October 2018
"Amnesty warns that most options to remove carbon that has already been emitted will also likely violate human rights
With countless people worldwide already suffering the catastrophic effects of floods, heatwaves and droughts aggravated by climate change, governments must commit to much more ambitious emissions reduction targets to limit the global average temperature increase, or bear responsibility for loss of life and other human rights violations and abuses on an unprecedented scale...
Climate change mitigation measures that have not been human rights compliant have already resulted in violations. For example, in May 2018 Amnesty International documented how the Sengwer Indigenous people of Embobut Forest, Kenya were forced from their homes, sometimes with deadly force, and dispossessed of their ancestral lands as a result of a government drive to reduce deforestation. The government accuses the Sengwer of harming the forest, but has not provided any evidence for that claim.
Such projects should always be subject to human rights impact assessments before going ahead in order to accurately assess the potential harm."

Commencement at City College New York: Ticketing, Attendance Tracking & More/
Streamlining Event Logistics
For graduating students, commencement is a once in a lifetime occasion celebrating years of hard work and academic achievements. After countless assignments, essays, group projects, all night study sessions and challenging exams, the final semester has wrapped up. Family and friends gather to honor their loved ones' important capstone event.
Preparing for a flawless commencement ceremony requires major planning, a dedicated team of volunteers, and a smooth process to welcome and direct arriving attendees, especially when the festivities include multiple departmental events and thousands of guests attending.
This holds true for The City College of New York, founded in 1847, the oldest of CUNY's 24 institutions of higher learning that make up the City University of New York (CUNY) system. CCNY is home to 16,544 undergraduate and graduate students, 555 full time and 894 part time faculty. As you can imagine, more than a few caps were jubilantly tossed into the air as nearly 3,000 celebrated CCNY's Class of 2018 graduation on May 30, 2018, in New York City.
The CG Team was thrilled to be on site again for the second year in a row at The City College of New York for the Main Commencement Ceremony this year. To help organize this large-scale event, additional CG team members Laura, Florian and Jessy were on hand at CCNY for commencement festivities and to assist in checking people in to the event. It was a pleasure to witness how efficiently the Student Life Department is using our ticketing and mobile attendance tracking feature for a very smooth check-in process.
Preparing for the actual day of graduation is a significant undertaking in order to create a wonderful experience for everyone at such a highly-attended event. At CampusGroups, it is our mission to equip event organizers with the very best event management tools so that on a day as important as graduation, event check-in is seamless and guests and organizers alike can relax and enjoy the walk across the stage for the beautiful moment it's meant to be.
Automatic Attendance Tracking with QR Code Scanning
By leveraging CampusGroups' robust mobile QR code scanning technology, along with laptop stations for manual lookup (for attendees who didn't bring their tickets), checking in 2,700 guests at CCNY's commencement event was extremely fast and efficient (i.e., no long lines for this major event!) With a clean, easy-to-use interface to track attendance on the mobile app, student volunteers learned how to scan tickets and get up to speed in just minutes.
One major benefit to being able to access QR codes by email is that it's open to everyone. This is important when an event like Commencement is open to everybody, including non-university guests. All guests receive the emails with the QR code, so they are able to scan in easily, and attendance records will include everyone, including non-students, who attend your event. At CCNY, this made it easy for parents (and other loved ones who are not part of the campus community) to obtain their tickets and display them at the entrance. Families brought their QR code tickets in various ways: printed on paper, mobile screenshot, mobile PDF, email, and student volunteers were able to scan QR codes for the event, thanks to the Organizing Team Members feature.
Organizing events on campus is a team effort, and CampusGroups supports teams by making sure our event management tools are able to help group leaders create wonderfully enriching and successful events. Instead of assigning just one organizer per event, the event organizer can now be assigned to a team mode of group officers and even students who are not officers of the group. This is a great way to involve students to help track attendance and respond to inquiries without giving them full administrative rights of the group.
Six students scanned codes simultaneously with WiFi-connected iPod devices, ensuring a quick and welcoming experience for guests while controlling access to the event and automatically gathering useful attendance data. Additionally, device vibration, enhancing sound and visual effects notifying successful check-ins made QR code scanning faster and accelerated the overall check-in process.
Flexible ticketing options are just one of many unique features that set CampusGroups technology apart. Event organizers were able to limit the number of tickets to 3 per graduating student, distributed as they wish to families and loved ones. This is not only important but necessary for highly-attended events like commencements, where interest is high and only limited space is available. Occasionally students wish to transfer tickets to others: for example, Robert is only bringing two guests, so he would like to offer his other allotted ticket to anyone who might need it. CampusGroups Ticket Transfer capability makes this possible, and CCNY students were able to easily exchange tickets on the News Feed and via Chat.
Applying Attendance Data
Scanning QR codes on attendee tickets gathers insightful data instantly, and event organizers such as administrators and officers are able to access their data at any time, in real time.
Before the event, organizers were able to create a unique event registration page and set ticket limits. During the event, they were able to see who had arrived and checked into the event. After the graduation ceremonies, event organizers are able to access dashboards, key metrics and data representations to help measure ROI of the event overall. Our goal is to make it easy for event organizing teams to collect, organize and analyze comprehensive attendance data.
Tracking attendance is one of our core features, designed to meet the unique identification and tracking needs of higher education institutions. Interested in learning more? Please do not hesitate to contact us. We'd love to hear from you!
