It the heart of this bustling district you'll find the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, the Newark Museum, The Prudential Center, the NJ Historical Society and countless art galleries and groovy eateries. Downtown Newark has been welcoming guests since the 1600's with the first recorded hotel opening back in 1670.

is wondering if one starts to think in facebook blurbs. is really not obsessed. is really o really just dandy! fuck. a lovely day, a lovely night, a lovely insomniac early morning jaunt thru time... only to lead to a crap ridden night. some things are unavoidable... so, now i have a glass of federweine and I tip it to you and you and you mates!
strangest early morning dream. after i retired about 6am, again, I dreamt a dream. I was in a familiar village. All was new and old at once. The road to the village had a steep incline A Swiss village no less. It was on repeat. I kept heading up to my point of arrival only to continue up the hill again to the dreaded story. The story included a small girl. Left for whatever reason with her grandparents. I loved the girl. She was mine. She was abandoned. She was sick. She died from neglect. I only realized this on another hike up to the house, thru ancient Swiss paths and ways, knowing that the house would no longer hold her. The parents never arrived. But I knew she was gone. I was so angry. So unhappy. I could not reconcile her absence, while the rest seemed relieved by it, smoking and continuing on in conversation as if she had never existed. The story forgot her, the story no longer included her. It was painful. And the road just began and the road never ended. The fucking snowy road! I hated that road, I hated the pristine perfectness of the village, the very fact it rested on the hill. I hated that these people would not realize this beautiful small girl-child was important enough to exist and they failed her. I failed her too in my apparent unreaching of the house, the girl,-- the first story-- in time. As she was the story in its first draft, all other writings and drafts forgot her. And whenever I would really start to think about her, the road began again. Shortly before I had awoken I read a list of names, most began with H, most were the same name, HER... repeated over and over. Hermione, Hersonnisus, Herod, Herodias... HERSO... names of poems, of she, I finally awoke, I lost her, I couldn't save her.

Hawaiian Pacifica Spirulina is an easily digested wholefood containing an array of phytonutrients and enzymes. It is a rich source of the antioxidants beta-carotene, chlorophyll and hycocyanin. It is a good source of iron and vitamin B12.
Hawaiian Pacifica Spirulina is a wholefood where the nutrients occur naturally and are accompanied by the natural organic co-factors necessary for utilisation and assimilation. Nothing is added and nothing is taken away.
Hawaiian Pacifica Spirulina was originally sourced from the wild and has been continually cultivated and conditioned to the harsh Hawaiian sunlight since 1985. This strain of Arthrospira platensis naturally produces elevated levels of carotenoids and phycobiliproteins as an adaptive mechanism.
To minimise the damaging oxidation of the caratones that occurs in standard dryers, Hawaiian Pacifica Spirulina uses Ocean Chill Drying™. This process utilises very cold ocean water drawn from 600-metre depths just offshore to provide dehumidification at extremely low oxygen levels. This dries the spirulina in less than sixty seconds, retaining up to three times the beta-carotene of other brands plus unique enzymes.
Hawaiian Pacifica Spirulina is grown without the use of herbicides and pesticides and contains no genetically modified material.
Dairy Free Gluten Free Organic Vegan Wheat Free Yeast Free.
Suggested usage: one serving = 6 tablets, use 1-3 servings per day. Spirulina is a food and so can be taken in relatively large quantities when needed. Take at lease 6 tabs per day but you can take up to 3x this amount, either in one go or throughout the day. Light sleepers may find the energising effect inhibits sleep so avoid late evenings.
Ingredients: Pure Spirulina (arthrospira platensis) 98.6%, silicon dioxide 1.0%, inulin (from non-GMO chicory) 0.3% and magnesium stearate 0.1%.

Excitement is building as the Olympic flame is due to arrive on British shores this Friday evening.
Among the dignitaries flying over with the torch from Greece will be games organiser Seb Coe, footballer David Beckham and London Mayor Boris Johnson.
They received the torch in the ancient Athens Stadium where the first modern games were held in 1896. Lord Coe spoke of his delight that the Olympic flame is now on its way to Britain.
"It's been an extraordinary journey and you know the spirit and generosity of British endeavour has never ceased to amaze me on this journey. But actually if you had said to me nine years ago would we necessarily be standing here tonight waiting to take the flame back to U.K. I would have hopefully dared to dream, but you know it's wonderful that we are in a position to turn those dreams into reality this evening."
The plane is set to land at Cornish airbase RNAS Culdrose just before 19:30 British Summer Time. Upon arriving in the UK, the flame will cover 8,000 miles as it tours the country for 70 days before it is finally taken into the stadium to launch the 30th modern Olympic games.
Despite the unexpected rainfall, there were smiles all round as the torch was presented. Let's hope they don't take the rain with them and that the sun shines throughout the Olympic celebrations.

The Lancashire Evening Post annual Education Awards ceremony went off with a bang on Tuesday June 30, 2015 as stars from schools across central Lancashire were treated to a glittering night of celebration at Preston's premier entertainment venue.
Aimed at celebrating the great and good that goes on in schools across Preston and central Lancashire, the awards recognise the achievements that schools and pupils make on a daily basis.
Those who made the shortlist – and the eventual winners who took to the stage at The Guild Hall, were nominated by their schools, parents, governors and the general public as a tribute to the work that goes on.
Guests included The Mayor of Preston, Coun Margaret McManus and Consort Peter Mullineaux.
Also in attendance were the principal of Preston's College, Lis Smith, Andy Leahy, site director at BAE Systems, Warton, and the deputy editor of the Lancashire Evening Post, Nicola Adam plus teachers, staff, parents and pupils from schools across central Lancashire.
The awards had 13 different categories and were sponsored by Preston's College and BAE Systems and the response to each and every category was amazing.
In this the fifth year of the LEP Education Awards, for me the first I have been involved with, the passion and commitment to education in the central Lancashire area is clear – and it is amazing to see the awards getting bigger and better every year, with more schools getting involved.Nicola Adam
Nicola said: "In this the fifth year of the LEP Education Awards, for me the first I have been involved with, the passion and commitment to education in the central Lancashire area is clear – and it is amazing to see the awards getting bigger and better every year, with more schools getting involved."
She added: It is fantastic to hear about the amazing innovation going on in schools across the area. From inspirational teachers to unsung heroes, from outstanding sports achievements to all the wonderful, selfless actions of young people."
Nicola said the younger generation sometimes got a bad press, with the actions of the minority impacting on the majority.
However, she added: " It is absolutely uplifting and reassuring to hear about all the wonderful, caring and often exception young people in our schools. The LEP has been championing these young people on its pages since 1886."
Lancashire Evening Post deputy editor Nicola presented the Primary School Pupil of the Year Award (sponsored by the LEP) to Josie Rawlings.
The Longton Primary school youngster was nominated for being a "superb role model" to her peers and younger pupils.
She was described as an inspiration to younger pupils. She tries hard to promote friendship and cohesion within her class and has learned to act as a mediator when needed.
She is on hand at lunchtime, in her own time, to offer a nurturing hand of friendship and boost pupils' feelings of self esteem.
Her teachers say: "She is leaving for high school and will be missed."
Other finalists were: Tia Patel and James Wilkinson, Highfield Priory School in Fulwood, Preston. Tia and James completed the Mini Greater Manchester Run in aid of Ronald McDonald House charity which provides free 'home away from home' accommodation for families with children receiving treatment at Royal Manchester Children's Hospital. Over the last three years, Tia has raised over £2,000, with donations still coming in.
Big hearted Jessica Noblet from Coppull St John's Primary School in Chorley decided that instead of receiving presents for her birthday, she wanted people to donate to Chorley's food bank, who were overwhelmed by the amount received.
Her kindness has inspired fellow pupils and staff to also support the food bank and they hold weekly collections of food and other essential items. The school is immensely proud of her.

You do not know what is that? Well, InterBase and Firebird allow specifying connection parameter that will disable garbage collection by statements in this connection.
This is the same as the option -g for gbak. And, of course, all other connections without this parameter will continue to try collecting garbage in the database, if any.
This connection option mostly is not known, because standard and "closed source" drivers usually does not produce access to server-specific features. Thus, you may use this option only for IBX (IBExpress components in Delphi and C++Builder), FIBPlus, and some other "direct access" components. ODBC, dbExpress? No, of course.
But, why you may ever need this option?
Sometimes you may want to run huge report that will scan lot of data. And, at the moment this report will run, there may be lot of garbage record versions in the database. So, your report connection will collect garbage (especially if you use Firebird Classic), and report will run much slower than it could be.
In this case, before running the report, you may set no_garbage_collect option, and report will be fast as a rocket.
I also knew some small applications with small databases (up to 1gb), that used no_garbage_collect option for all connections. This way garbage is not collected at all, and during the day size of database could grow 2 or 3 times. But, each day database was scheduled to backup and restore, so, why to care about garbage?
Since I do not see needs to do backup and restore each day, I do not recommend disabling garbage collection this way. Use it only for specific connection, if you ever need to do this at all.

Dental Tips 101 | Taking Care of Children Oral Health Emergencies
As much as accidents can cause panic and distress, it is important to know how to handle them in order to prevent fatal outcomes. The way you handle a dental accident will determine whether the tooth or gum can be saved or not. In oral health care, it may be difficult to do this. Remember, the dentist may not always be there. Just imagine a situation where your child just lost his or her teeth and is bleeding profusely. Would you know exactly what to do? Below are some tips on handling a few oral health emergencies for your children even before taking them to the dentist.
knocked out teeth
First of all, don't panic. This particular accident occurs more often than you think. Take the broken tooth, and examine it for any lost fragments. Afterwards, thoroughly wash it with some warm water. This is to remove dirt and disinfect the tooth from any pathogens.
Once done, try and gently place the tooth back into its socket. If this seems too painful for the child, an alternative would be to store it in milk or salted water for preservation. However, make sure you visit your dentist within an hour or so to maximize the chances of restoring the tooth.
Missing filling
Losing a filling is simply excruciating. So just imagine what a child has to undergo when this happens. A filling may be knocked out, or it may just fall out on its own sometimes. The best remedy is to apply some dental cement on the left gap. If you do not already have it in your home, you can acquire some from your local pharmacy. Another effective solution would be refilling using tasteless gum since salt and sugar would inflict more pain.
Severe tooth pains
This is sometimes tough to handle, especially if your child is experiencing it for the first time. It may start as a minor irritation that can worsen into a dental emergency. When this occurs, you need to thoroughly rinse your child's mouth with warm water so as to kill any germs. Then floss and gently brush the teeth to rid them of any lodged food particles. Slowly touch each tooth around the afflicted area till you spot the affected one. For mild pains, you can just issue some aspirin. However, if you see an inflammation, try and compress the outer part of the cheek with an ice bag, since the cold helps numb the pain.

Some JPG files cannot be open (JPEG8BIM and Adobe on Mac)
October 21st, 2008
Yes, they did it again!
Well I don't really know exactly how come this happened: someone sais it's because of a security uptate for Outlook, but I can assure you, I'm not using Outlook… I'm using Thunderbird.
And it's not about the default Windows Fax Viewer, because I saved a couple of jpeg images and even some nice image editing software couldn't figure out what that file was (I'm talking about Windows Paint, Corel Paint Shop Pro, and other stuff).
- I received an email at our office with some nice new artwork, made on a Mac with Adobe something CS3
- I saved the files
- I tried to open them in any kind of imaging software (and yes, I tried GIMP!)
- Finding that the file couldn't be recognized I thiught it could be compressed or corrupted, so I opened it up on an hex editor and found strange header and footer data (namely i could recognize only the JPEG8BIM and Adobe Photoshop Machintosh strings
- I googled around and mate 2+2: Apple is not compatible with Windows…
The strange thing is that even a soooo standard JPG file is modified under MacOSX (found that it could be because of the Mac Finder…)
Since after around 0x80 bytes here it comes the standard JPEG header, well… why not try and trash the byted before?!?!
… And voila! 😀
Well, it's not very funny, cutting 128 bytes from every picture it comes from a Mac! So I made this nice command line utility for Windows users: StripMacHeader.
Please be aware that it doesn't make a formally correct JPG file, as it doesn't try to strip the garbage tail of the file: you will have to open the file after stripping and resave it, to have a real JPG file.

This worked great for me and gave me the chance to impress a client – "What, you can't open some jpegs? Just send them to me and I'll sort it out".
Thanks a lot!
Thanks, this helped me too. Using linux, I striped the first 128 Bytes with
dd if=input.jpg of=output.jpg bs=128 skip=1
and recreated a slightly smaller JPG file with
jpegtran -optimize input.jpg > output.jpg

TENJAM is an innovative new furniture company who is able to create furniture to whatever size or shape you can imagine and they wanted a website that both matched their innovation and showcased their abilities. So Black Bear Design was able to create a cleanly designed website that puts their products at the forefront of what you see as you browse through their various categories and shapes. The website is also responsive as TENJAM knew that their sales representatives would be utilizing iPads to show their various options rather than traditional design books. They also recognized that architects and designers were beginning to depend on mobile devices more and wanted to make it as easy for them to experience the creative possibilities TENJAM had to offer.
The website is built in a ColdFusion framework that allows TENJAM to instantly add products, product options, and allows dealers to create custom wish lists for their clients or projects to be submitted to TENJAM for price and timing information. ColdFusion also provides TENJAM the ability to expand the site functionality as new needs arrive as their business grows.
Black Bear Design is excited that TENJAM is able to showcase their fantastic products on a clean, dynamic, and responsive website that is ready to grow as TENJAM grows!

Human Beans - Kickstarter campaign
I am re-blogging the Human Beans article below for a blogger friend, Tracy Jackson.
Human Beans are an interesting idea that goes beyond simple M&M's that all taste the same even though they are colored differently.
These jelly beans are flavored differently than what you would expect by their color.
These can be used to stimulate dialog toward racial justice in the way that Lee Mun Wah's "What Stands Between Us: Racism Conversation Flash Cards" are used.
Check out her suggestions and her Kickstarter campaign below.
The Quick, Easy and Fun Way to Talk to Kids about Diversity
In every child's life there comes a moment where they accept or reject others based on the way someone looks or acts. Perhaps you remember an occasion when someone did this to you? Let's face it, we're all different, one-of-a-kind, and it's imperative that we learn to embrace the unique qualities in both ourselves and others.
For me, teaching diversity is a passion. I know how it feels to be excluded and judged, so I devised a simple method to teach children to embrace what makes each of us unique. I call it, Human Beans. Human Beans are a gourmet jelly bean treat that encourages simple conversations powerful enough to stop bullying in its tracks.
Here's how it works:
#1: Open a Bag of Conversation
Nothing is more natural than sharing a treat with your child. When you tear into a package of Human Beans, you open a simple platform for talking to your child. You see, Human Beans are just like people. They come in different colors but you can't really determine what's on the inside simply by looking at the outside. You have to get involved and actually experience the bean to know its flavor.
#2: Choose a Bean, Any Bean
Take time to ask your child which bean is his/her favorite. Ask how they choose the bean. What flavor do they think it will taste like? Why? Have them eat their bean.
Once the discussion gets rolling you can chat about friends or neighbors who may look different from you on the outside but are very similar on the inside. Human Beans come in six colors and twelve flavors all mixed up in one lovable bag. Just like the people in your life! Take a moment to talk about differences and similarities and how sometimes people think a person is one way just by how they look (act, think or feel). Just like Human Beans, we don't know anything about a person without experiencing them first.
#3 Spill the Beans
Simple conversations lead to life changing ones. Once your child understands the concept of diversity, encourage them to share the lesson with their friends. Human Beans can teach children about respecting others, appreciating differences and standing up for others.
Regardless of how you choose to use these suggestions, don't just sit on the idea and forget about it. Put it to good use so your kids can learn to embrace both themselves and others, which is what every parent wants right? Of course!
Tracy Jackson is a military wife and mother to three girls, social justice advocate and veteran entrepreneur that is passionate about diversity and teaching children to love themselves and others. For more details on Human Beans, please check out her Kickstarter project and help make the world a little sweeter!
Thank you for the consideration!

Seasonal Rule Curve Reservoir Operationby Ralph A. Wurbs, Texas A&M Univ, College Station, TX, USA,
Michael N. Tibbets, Texas A&M Univ, College Station, TX, USA,
Document Type: Proceeding Paper
Part of: Engineering Hydrology
This paper addresses the potential for increasing the beneficial use of existing reservoirs in the state of Texas through seasonal rule curve release policies. Seasonally varying operating procedures have been adopted to only a very limited extent in the state. Although seasonal variations in risk of flooding, flood damage susceptibility, water supply demands, and streamflow availability occur, the time periods when flood control and conservation storage are most needed significantly overlap. However, seasonal rule curve operation is concluded to offer significant potential for improving surface water management in the state in those situations in which needs for flood control and conservation purposes are severely taxing the available storage capacity.

For those whose memory of just which amendment is which is a little shaky (as mine is), the 19th is the one that gives women the right to vote.
Ninety years of voting in a "democracy" that is 225 years old.
Meanwhile we expect the rest of the world to conform instantly to our current value system, though it took us two and a quarter centuries to get here.
Anyway...it's my opinion that it took a shamefully long time for women to gain the right to vote. (It's also my knowledge that President Wilson was not, as he described himself in the New York Times on this day 90 years ago, "the biggest proponent of women's suffrage." A visit to his birthplace and library in Staunton Virginia will quickly disabuse anyone of this notion, and highlight just a few of the misogynist things that man did, though he's awesome in some other ways...) It's also my opinion that women both here and around the world are still treated horribly in so many ways--whether it's voting or abuse or being harassed in the streets or being told where/when/with whom they can go or being forced into arranged marriages or being sold into slavery or being paid 70 cents for every dollar a man makes or anything else. We have a long way to go--voting was hardly the culmination of our struggle, though it was a huge milestone to reach.
And it took 135 years to make even that step.
I heard a story on NPR a few minutes ago about the women who sit in or are running for Parliament in Afghanistan.
Women. In Parliament. In Afghanistan. Over 300 women (maybe even as many as 408) are running for office in next month's election there. In Afghanistan. They risk their lives and their families lives sometimes, but they believe the struggle is worth it, they believe they are making a difference, they believe that things are changing for the better and they want to be a part of that movement. One woman they interviewed has been in the Parliament since 2005.
2005. In Afghanistan.
Yet we insist on pushing them (and other cultures too) farther and faster--because we believe it's right, we believe that women deserve equality, that no one should be oppressed...all good and valid reasons. I'm not one to give up or to say "give it time" or even "just wait--the day will come." In fact, I'm much more along the line with Carrie Newcomer's song "If Not Now, When?"
But let's also get some perspective, people. A LOT of the countries in this world are much much younger than we are. And many of them are tribally/culturally/geographically diverse from the outset (which, remember, we weren't...not really, anyway). Some are amalgamations of people groups that have never lived together before but were close enough geographically to be convenient for the UN to make into a country, but they have no idea how to overcome centuries of cultural divides and even flat-out hatred. They are often poor, lack infrastructure, and endure a great deal of other disadvantages and hardship.
And then they look over here, where we haven't even achieved full equality but are full of preachiness about the best way to be a nation.
Meanwhile, 3-400 women are running for Parliament in Afghanistan's second EVER election.
Those women of 90+ years ago may have done more good than they realized...
but we still have a long way to go.

Upping the ante for south Asian cultural festivals is Bhutan, with a ten-dayshowcase of art, film, music, photography and more from all over the world. Under the patronage of Queen Jetsun Pema, the Bhutan International Festival (BHIF) is set to have quite the debut – with award-winning films and personalities (Duncan Bridgeman, Lisa Russell), a diversity of music with artists like Lucky Ali, Bellatrix and Koniac Net on stage, several art and photography exhibitions, a TEDx session and even a marathon run. It's not all international – there are folk dances, art forms, music and – what we're most looking forward to, food — on display too. Co-founder Thinley Palden Dorji tells GQ about BHIF's genesis, what to look out for and why you should be excited.
What was the purpose of creating BHIF?
The aim is to position BHIF as a unique world-class festival that serves not only the artistic community but has a positive ripple effect on the local economy. We decided to bring together various artistic disciplines with an emphasis on collaboration, which will hopefully inspire new works of art and new ways of working.
What sets this one apart from the others present in South Asia?
Most festivals in Bhutan and around the globe are about highlighting the works of individual artists. We decided to take a different approach by not only highlighting individuals, but also encouraging and fostering artistic collaborations between participating artists. Further, we have asked all artists who participate in BHIF to hold knowledge-sharing workshops or master classes. BHIF is committed to furthering education in the arts and that is why it is set up as a not-for-profit; so that all profits go back into legacy projects for the local community and for funding future festival collaborations.
Considering that Bhutan is any traveller's dream destination, you'd think a festival of this sort would've come up a while ago…
It's true that Bhutan is an ideal destination for this type of event, but keep in mind that the country has only recently emerged from self-imposed isolation. Historically, Bhutan has put all of its efforts into preserving and showcasing its historic cultural heritage and promotion of the traditional festivals. But we are confident the time has come for such an idea to fructify into an amazing festival.
What are you excited about from the line-up?
Some of the highlights are: Lucky Ali, Nick Mulvey, the Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra's collaboration with Jigme Drukpa and our local musicians on the music front; the legacy projects for local artists and organizations such as Zorig (traditional crafts), RAPA (Royal Academy for Performing Arts); the food festival (with an emphasis on Bhutanese fusion food) by HRAB (Hotel and Restaurants Association in Bhutan); and Edenlab's creative programme, who are our event partners from the UK.
Why include a marathon run in a cultural event?
While it does stand out as a little different to the other events, outdoor activity is an integral part of life for the Bhutanese. Walking and running over the mountains is as much a part of our culture as is the mask dance or eating spicy hot "kewa datsi", the national dish of Bhutan.
BHIF is on from February 14-23.

COSTA MESA — A federal wrongful death lawsuit filed against a Costa Mesa police officer involved in an off-duty shooting in Temecula three years ago has been dropped, court records show.
The family of Shaun Vilan agreed to settle their wrongful death suit against Officer Scott Dibble for a waiver of attorneys' fees last month, acknowledging in court documents that there was little to gain from moving ahead with the case.
The federal lawsuit was filed on behalf of Vilan's 10-year-old son, Dillan, and Taylor Willis, who was also shot by Dibble outside a Mexican restaurant on March 8, 2008.

SwingTIP & Live MobiCoach Golf Lesson
Club swingers...not to mention club chuckers and club smashers into the sides of golf carts...can all benefit from this SwingTIP and MobiCoach instruction combination. The SwingTIP, a Bluetooth-enabled motion sensor, attaches directly to golf clubs and records your swing. It then sends the data to an iPhone, iPad, or Android for instant analysis, digital replay demo included, of what you're doing right and what discrepancies need attention. The diligent can literally make adjustments and see their swing arc change from saggy boob to big, smooth hyperbola in a single hole.
Combining SwingTIP with an hour's worth of remote lessons from MobiCoach, the package can continue to elevate golf games to levels of pre-marital-turmoil Tiger. Or at least make the best part of your next 18 something other than the bottle of moonshine one of your buddies brought along. A MobiCoach lesson runs similarly to an in-person lesson, but with video and mobile technology connecting golfer and golf coach whenever it's convenient for the Mobi user. Select from options including 15-minute refresher courses that can be taken in the backyard or hour-long, in-depth makeover courses at the range. All instructors are top PGA teaching pros who relay their knowledge over an iPhone or iPad. A live voice over IP (online call between golfer and coach) is also included, as is auto-video sharing of the golfer's swings and putts that instantly display to the coach.
The SwingTIP & Live MobiCoach Golf Lesson are a Dude Exclusive available at 25% off through June 8, 2014. With Father's Day fast approaching, they are also a top Dude Gift for Dad pick.
Note: the Dude Exclusives online store is hosted and managed by Stack Commerce, a third party not directly affiliated with DudeIWantThat.com. All order, customer service, and general inquiries should be submitted through the Dude Exclusives Customer Support page. Inquiries submitted through other contact forms or channels may not receive a timely response.

The California Assembly and Senate recently unanimously approved Assembly Bill 1176 to help the port of San Francisco with financing issues. But Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) has decided to veto the legislation, sending a letter to the state Assembly chastising them for focusing on "unnecessary bills." The San Francisco Bay Guardian also notes a second, more direct, message hidden in Schwarzenegger's missive — contained in the first letter of each line:
The author of the Assembly Bill 1176 is Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, who recently shouted out "You lie!" to Schwarzenegger at a public event. Schwarzenegger's office, however, is insisting that the letter's coded message was just "a strange coincidence." "When you do so many vetoes, that's bound to happen," said the governor's spokesman.[featuredcomment]iamwil says: "Hey state Assembly, are you ready to Jumble ? ! ?"[/featuredcomment]

These two puzzles have been played by millions daily since 2011, when they first appeared in the Times and the Telegraph. Since then, they've featured in a range of national titles in the UK and around the world, as well as appearing in magazines, books such as the "Pocket Posh Sudoku" series, and on educational websites, promoting learning through puzzling.
They have also been added to by Master Sujiko, Dottoko, LoKo and, most recently, TANKO.
All of these puzzles and more are available from the Apple App store, in a variety of languages. Each separate app offers a simple, though often infuriating, selection of puzzles in a classic format. No bells and whistles, no nerve-wracking timers, just good, honest, puzzling fun.
Games! Play Kobayaashi's Bubblz, where the player 'merely' needs to ensure that their Bubble doesn't hit any of the other Bubblz!
Dead Drop and Hot Spots and the bright, new Sujiko Play, are proving popular, though challenging.
So, whether you like a game with an 80s retro feel, or want your challenge to be accompanied by soft, dreamy guitar, there's something here for you!

From love to bingo in 873 images
Previous / Next
Patient research work involving more than 5 thousand photographs resulted in a 1 minute film that AlmapBBDO created to advertise Getty Images, the world leading image database for creating and distributing visual contents. The film is surprising when showing 873 images in 15 images per second, sufficient speed to transform the series into a video that, without any text, tells a beautiful story. All photos, without any exceptions, are from the Getty Images archives. Copywriter Sophie Schoenburg and art director Marcus Kotlhar worked 6 months researching images, improving the script and building each scene so they would not only be understood, but would also touch viewers. Sometimes, for example, a scene would look perfect on paper, but the images chosen to depict it were not sufficient or did not perfectly match up to offer the right movement and sense. And hence the research had to be restarted. The film was directed by Cisma, via Paranoid BR, along with Marcos Kotlhar, the art director at the agency. For this creation team, the purpose was to adhere to the concept that Getty Images has so many images that anybody is capable of telling any story they want by only using their archives. In the film "Do amor ao Bingo em 873 imagens" [From love to Bingo in 873 images], a storyteller in the corner of the screen describes the images used. The Getty Images logo appears at the end of the story, but the storyteller continues to turn until reaching the exact number of images in the Getty Images archive.

Included in Chapter Seven of Connecting to Kink
I am constantly amazed by how willing people are to expose themselves to potential harm because someone makes it sound like fun. Most recently, I saw a rash of updates on Twitter stating "Just took 'Which Crazy Writer Are You?' and got: _____" which was, of course, posted with a link so others could try it.
I checked out the quiz and discovered that after you answer all the question, in order to get any results, you must hand over your Twitter user name and password. Why in the world would anyone do that? How do they know what the quiz creator will do with that information? (I got a clue about what the quiz creator intended later when I saw apologies along the lines of "Sorry if the 'Crazy Writer' quiz spammed everyone" accompanied by claims that they "didn't realize it would do that.")
No one creates Twitter quizzes, Facebook games, and applications such as Foursquare because they want to entertain you for free. They're in it for money and they're using your data to get it. For example, every time you sign up for a Facebook game, you give the developer of that application permission to access ALL of your personal data, including your "private" emails.
Facebook stripped away almost all pretense of privacy (while claiming to enhance it), when it changed default settings to make anything posted on Facebook public unless the poster goes to great lengths to keep the information private. Many categories of information — including your name, profile photo, list of friends and fan pages, gender, geographic region, and applications — no longer even have privacy options.
If you choose to lock your Twitter page to "protect" your tweets, your followers can still retweet them. Your tweets show up on Google searches of your name. The United States Library of Congress is archiving every single tweet.
At least one man believes his home was burglarized as a result of announcements about his vacation to his Twitter followers. The whole point of foursquare.com, as far as I can tell, is to tell everyone, via Twitter, where you are at any given moment, leaving yourself vulnerable to stalkers and burglars. Even those who don't participate in Foursquare, are urged by Twitter to add their location to each tweet.
The The Internet Patrol warns: "There is an inherent problem – dare we even say it – danger – with letting the world know where you are or, even, where you aren't.
"For example, do you really want some Twitter whacko stalking you at your place of employment? Or following you to a restaurant? Or even to your home?"
Scambusters warns that "you should be aware of the amount and type of information you're giving out that can be used against you."
Insurance companies are demanding access to online information about you without your explicit consent. Creditors and prospective employers are checking out your Facebook and Twitter accounts.
People have gotten fired, lost opportunities for employment, and had their disability benefits taken away because of Facebook posts. Businesses have had brands and goodwill destroyed by Twitter campaigns (sometimes deservedly). Personally, I have stopped following many of those on my Facebook friends' list, because while I might want to know if they sold a story or won an award, I have no interest in reading about their activities on FarmVille, Candy Crush, etc.
Certainly, if you choose to hand over your passwords and other personal information to unknown developers, that's your prerogative. Just don't be surprised, or complain, when that data is used against you.

Once upon a time, there was a girl called Isabelle.
Time to share part two of the latest Australian Homespun kids issue, and this time it is all about the girls - dolls, dress ups, smiles, cuddles, tears, giggles and flowers. I also didn't have to travel far from home for the inspiration. Can you believe my baby will be two in a little over a week?
So come into my studio and let me show you a little closer...would you like a cuppa?
If you look - you will find the sweetest caterpillar on the handle of Isabelle's vintage pram, he is awfully friendly and tiny - nothing like that Hungry Caterpillar I have read so much about lately.
Although my favorite part of the design is this. The parasol - appliqued and stitched with a little fringing around the edge.
Oh, and the sweet little baby peeping back at you from the pram is Isabelle - of course the pattern in the magazine comes complete with the alphabet and numbers so you can personalize your design and make a gorgeous keepsake for a little wee one too.
What's next? there is not a little girl I know of who doesn't have a favorite dolly - one that's well loved, well worn and perfect to hold hands with. The very first 'best friends forever.'
Again the applique has been blanket stitched in the same fashion as the Xavier design. But I have to tell you a little about the fabric and threads.
The boy and girl designs feature fabrics from Moda Whimsy range and Mill House Inn (both designed by Joanna at Fig Tree & Co.) and they are both 1 1/2 inch strip friendly so perfect for left over strips from your fabric stash or Moda sweet rolls.
The threads I have used are from the Cosmo stranded cotton range....the gorgeous variegated thread is called 'Clivea' from Cottage Garden Threads (another one of my thread loves).
So now all you have to do is race out and pick up your copy!
Till then,
Natalie xo

Using the Gigapan gives you the freedom to select the
aspect ratio, or shape, of you your pictures.
Since you specify the top left and bottom right of your
images you can make them short and wide, tall and narrow,
or anywhere in between.
This freedom is great until it collides with the physical
world with standard size monitors and paper.
Large format printers get paper (or canvas or vinyl) on rolls,
so the fixed factor is the width.
To calculate the length you need to print a Gigapan
on a certain width paper:
Length of Paper = height of paper * gigapan width/gigapan height
I have a 91084 x 17246 Gigapan and I want to print it on 44"
wide paper. So what is the length.
length = 44" * 91084 / 17246 = 232.4" = 19 feet.
232.4" x 44" = 10,225.6 square inches = 71 square feet
There are different rates, but I've been quoted $10 per square foot
to print. That would be $710, so I probably won't be printing that
GigaPan at that size until printing costs come down!

The title of the campaign is titled Get "X" On, and the basic premise of the campaign is get the series back airing on TV in repeats. We're going for a new season, movie, whatever. Our goal is to get show back into the homes of millions of fans nationwide (United States). From there, our hope that if the network is friendly enough hopefully the Xena Movie Campaign folks can use the re-airing of the series for the campaign.
After all, exposure is the key. If the series isn't on TV anywhere in the United States, it'll be hard to market the prospects of the movie. They way that I see it, our campaigns are equally united in getting the thing that we love, XENA, back to life in some form. If all we get is a syndication deal on a some off-the-beaten-path network, then that's all we get. At least she'll be battling warlords and demons once again.

27 October 2006
Britain legalised abortion 39 years ago today. A group of physicians in the UK have drawn attention to research suggesting that abortion can increase the risk of mental problems in women. In a letter to today's Times newspaper, the 15 doctors write that women should be warned about the psychological problems of abortion, and they call on the bodies which regulate obstetricians, gynaecologists and psychiatrists to change their guidance. The research which they cite was published in The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry in January. [The Times, 27 October] The newspaper also carried an article about Ms Sue Hulbert who suffered from long-term depression after an abortion. She said: "I had never suffered from any mental illness before and I had never been depressed and, really, I am the last person who you would expect to react like this. But I was haunted by my abortion and it robbed me of all my confidence." Ms Hulbert was helped by British Victims of Abortion. [The Times, 27 October] To mark the anniversary, there was a vigil and procession in Glasgow, Scotland, and, in a homily, the Catholic Bishop of Paisley said: "The unborn child has a fundamental and inalienable right to life that cannot be abrogated by any man-made law." [Christian Today, 27 October] An opinion-article in the Guardian newspaper laments what the author sees as a stigma about abortion and calls for it to be made more easily available. [The Guardian, 27 October]
A quarter of abortions in Scotland are repeats, with some women opting for abortion five times or more. Last year four fifths (more than 2,500) of Scotland's repeat abortions were second abortions, 16% were third abortions and the rest were the fourth or more. Women under 25 make up more than two fifths of those having their second abortion. 152 women last year had had three abortions by the time they were 25. Nearly 40 had had at least four. Ian Murray, director of SPUC Scotland, said: "These figures suggest that some young women use abortion as another form of birth control. A number of MPs are currently calling for a reduction in the upper time limit for social abortions. If they are really concerned about women they will join with us in offering women real choices and support through better care and counselling facilities. Abortion is not the answer to a woman's crisis pregnancy." SPUC Scotland obtained the details by invoking legislation on disclosure of information. [SPUC Scotland, 27 October]
The European parliament yesterday rejected three amendments to the European Union budget which would have removed funding from government and organisations' programmes which include coercive abortion, involuntary sterilisation and infanticide. Shortly afterwards, the parliament condemned China for allegedly shooting refugees. Ms Kathy Sinnott, MEP for Ireland south, welcomed the condemnation but said: "Why do Tibetans try to escape from China? Because of these very barbaric practices that in addition to the religious and political persecution blights the life of all the minorities and conquered peoples within the territory China now claims to rule." She asked the European commission what part EU aid was playing in that suffering. [Ms Sinnott's office, 26 October]
Nicaraguan legislators have approved what appears to be a total ban on abortion. Rape victims will reportedly not be exempted. [Reuters, 27 October]
Making birth-control more widely available does not cut pregnancy or abortion rates, according to the American bishops' pro-life secretariat. Ms Susan Wills, an associate director, was responding to an article in the Washington Post and supported her point with the results of research in Britain, China, Sweden and the US. [Kaiser Network on Medical News Today, 26 October] A fifth of women in Britain using birth-control use long-term drugs and devices, such as implants and coils. [Daily Mail, 24 October] Such birth-control may cause early abortion.
Four fifths of women whose eggs have been frozen at a New York, NY, clinic would consider using donated sperm to have a child if they could not find a partner, according to a survey of 20 women. Two fifths were definitely prepared to be single parents. [The Times, 27 October] Children conceived with donated sperm are resentful of the fact, say the results of research by Dundee university, Scotland. [The Scotsman, 25 October]
A meeting of Catholic bishops from throughout the Americas has described life-related issues as a top priority. [Zenit, 24 October] Archbishop Charles Chaput of Denver, Colorado, has said that abortion should be a foundational issue for Catholic voters. [Denver Post, 23 October]
A committee on vaccination is expected to advise the British government to encourage women in the later stages of pregnancy to be vaccinated against influenza because the disease strains the heart and lungs during childbirth. [Guardian, 25 October] Pregnant women should avoid crushing tamoxifen tablets before they take them because inhaling the medication is dangerous. [BBC, 25 October]

Product Description
PAGE GelGreen is a non-toxic, non-mutagenic green DNA gel stain specifically designed to stain DNA in polyacrylamide gels. PAGE GelGreen can be imaged using a 254 nm UV transilluminator with a SYBR® Green filter, or with gel readers equipped with visible light excitation, such as Dark Reader® imaging systems or 488 nm laser-based gel scanners. While PAGE GelGreen also can be used to stain DNA in agarose gels, Biotium's original GelGreen nucleic acid gel stain (catalog number 41005) is more sensitive for agarose gel applications. PAGE GelGreen can be removed from DNA after agarose gel staining using commonly available gel extraction kits. PAGE GelGreen is 2-3 times more sensitive for dsDNA over RNA. For detailed information, please visit the DNA Stain Technology page. PAGE GelGreen was subjected to a series of tests at Biotium and two independent laboratories to assess the dye's safety for routine handling and disposal. Laboratory tests show that the dye is impenetrable to latex or nitrile gloves and cell membranes. Unlike the highly mutagenic EtBr and the reportedly mutation-enhancing SYBR® Green I (1), PAGE GelGreen is non-toxic and non-mutagenic in bacterial AMES tests at concentrations well above the working concentrations used in gel staining. PAGE GelGreen successfully passed environmental safety tests in compliance with CCR Title 22 Hazardous Waste Characterization, under which it is classified as non-hazardous waste. A complete safety report is available under the downloads tab. PAGE GelGreen™ 1X in water is a ready-to-use staining solution. Biotium also offers PAGE GelGreen™ 10,000X in water. Also see PAGE GelRed™.

It's been a mixed bag of things in my household of ups and downs all week - the downs being pretty down ( or so it seems in the moments). But I am constantly trying to learn from the "bumps in the road", knowing they still hold blessings in disguise. Scroll further down for the art :):)
Like this example: our Annie, AKA BooBoo (English Cocker who just celebrated 12 yrs. last Fri)). I just scheduled an appt. on that Sat. to have a growth under her stubby tail checked out for a most likely removal because I noticed it getting much bigger rather quickly. Same day I made the appt. that growth ruptured causing blood drippings all over. An ER visit to our vet indicated it def. needed to be removed and gave me a solution to apply anytime it would open up again before Tues. scheduled sx. We covered everything with sheets, blankets and towels-including areas of carpeting to somewhat protect. I kept a flashlight with me at night just to check on her. Mon. eve it again ruptured and was REALLY bad ( I won't get into details - good thing for my nursing background). I was able to stop bleeding and it was OK til appt. Tues. Chose to have teeth cleaned at the same time(she has had quite a number of teeth removed despite getting her teeth brushed daily since she was a pup). Never had sx. til mid afternoon. Had to have canine and small bony mass above it removed. Stitches in mouth and at base of tail. Picked her up early eve with her still being under the influence of the anesthetics, etc. with her tongue hanging out the side of her mouth and spent a sleepless night trying to comfort her as best I could. Even gave her bits of water through a dropper. Truly pitiful - like when you have an infant that can't tell you what's hurting or how bad. She finally slept a few hours and when she awoke , she woke me up by licking my cheek (blessing). She's been improving each day since. Another blessing in this - although it was tres expensive, we had been saving for a new furnace -having been told (falsely) we needed a new one ( a whole other story). Finally found someone very honest and reliable - no new furnace needed! This money paid for Annie's expenses. Won't even venture into the other stuff, knowing it always works out in the end. Blessings.
In honor of breast cancer awareness month:
I have been so inspired by Tracey and so many other talented watercolor/ illustration artists I have "met" through Paint Party Friday that I decided to have a go at it although in no way do I consider myself a sketcher or watercolor painter. I began in my 5" x 8" Strathmore Visual Watercolor Journal. Pencilled in the figure and walkway. Used a combination of watercolors, acrylic paints and Pitt Pens. The hearts are punched from gelli plate prints. PLEASE BE SURE TO GET YOUR ANNUAL MAMMOGRAMS AND BE AWARE OF ANY CHANGES YOU FEEL OR SENSE!
Linking up to Inspiration Avenue - theme of pink for breast cancer awareness.
Next up- a Halloween project for Simon Says Monday Challenge - which is "Spooky", Mandarin Orange Monday, and Glue It Tuesday:
Products: wood house ( Michael's); black acrylic paint; Boo girl -ARTchix Studio; beads, wire, stickers, patterned papers from my stash.
On to my last canvas of the wabi - sabi series inspired by Serena Barton I have been working on over the last few months. "Rosa" was written by Keith Harkin about his young Godchild. We got to hear him perform this song the other week during the Celtic Thunder show. They had silhouettes of little Rosa showing in the back drop. Just beautiful.
I began by gluing torn papers down across the lower third with words about love, affection, beauty. I painted and blotted on a layer of Artists Loft Parchment paint. "Rosa" was pencilled in at the top rt. Can you see it? Next a light coat of a blue reinker glaze and a green reinker glaze (see Serena's book Wabi - Sabi Art Workshop for the recipe). While it was still wet I sponged several colors of reinkers across the collaged area. Did some tweaking by adding some acrylic paints with my finger and adding and removing paint as needed. Although it doesn't show at all here, there are bits of the words showing through the paint.

[portfolio_slideshow size=large]
People always ask each other, "Why hasn't Sterling Spencer made another movie yet? He's currently the number one surfer in the world!" Well, like the late Skip Frye once said, "I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member." Sterling Spencer, the most brilliant man in surfing, has embarked on a brand new journey. A journey that shows how handsome he really is. Sterling has so much money and is out to prove to the surfing world [and The Beatles] that money does make you happy. First leg of the journey, Sterling meets up with 7-time Puerto Rican Champion Dylan Graves! Dylan is 5'2″, loves long walks on the beach and sushi! With these two moguls of the sport on deck, let's sit back and admire their bodies. Two champions, one island, pure Gold. —Sterling Spencer
All photos are from Puerto Rico for the filming of Sterling Spencer's new movie, Gold.

ALAMEDA — Raiders' quarterback Terrelle Pryor was wearing a baseball-style cap and watching practice Wednesday during the media window as backup Matt McGloin took snaps with the first team.
When the team was going through stretching, Pryor was able to do leg lifts with his ailing right knee.
It remains to be seen whether Pryor will get in any work or be able to practice later in the week. Coach Dennis Allen will need to determine whether Pryor at less than 100 percent gives the Raiders a better chance to win than a healthy McGloin Sunday at Houston.
Pryor played the entire game in a 24-20 loss to the New York Giants but conceded afterward he was hampered by an MCL strain which hurt both his ability to run and to drive the ball with authority when passing.
There was good news on the Raiders offensive line in that both left tackle Jared Veldheer and right tackle Tony Pashos were padded up and on the field.
Veldheer, who had surgery in training camp for a torn right triceps, is on injured reserve but designated for return. His presence on the field starts a 21-day clock during which he can practice but not count toward the 53-man roster.
The Raiders can activate Veldheer at any time during that window. At the end of the 21 days, Veldheer must either be placed on the roster or on injured reserve, meaning he wouldn't play this season.
Given the length of time Veldheer has been out, it's an extreme longshot that he would be ready in time to face the Texans Sunday.
Pashos was the starting right tackle before missing the last four games with a hip injury, giving way to Matt McCants for three games and Menelik Watson against the New York Giants.
The right tackle spot is crucial against Houston, given the presence of left end J.J. Watt, last year's Associated Press NFL defensive player of the year. Watt forced and recovered two fumbles in Houston's 27-24 loss to Arizona and has sacks in each of his last four games.
Running back Darren McFadden (hamstring) and cornerback D.J. Hayden (groin) were on a separate field and not in uniform working with the athletic training staff before going inside when practice began.

... today we're going to test our dear readers memories! *smile* I think you still remember I was wondering about a few questions lately - about the demon skulls made by Jane... but even more about the question what would be the next thing Birgit would be doing for Gertie. Well, I'm going to answer this question today - and we'll also get to the topic of the demon skulls... *grin*
By now Birgit has almost done the furniture for Gertie's retirement home - but one very important piece of furniture was still missing. As you know Gertie is retired since ages, she suffers from rheumatism and her knees are weak (yes, not even a herb witch knows an antidote against this). And every elderly lady, whether a witch or not, likes it warm and cozy... especially now when the evenings are getting colder again. And so a fireplace for Gertie was still on Birgit's to-do-list - and it made Birgit go on an intense search in her Somewhen-for-somewhat-boxes. But somewhen she had found it, the bare wood fireplace she had intended to use in Mysteria's living room in the New Witch Tower.
Then it was showtime for Birgit's brushes - and afterwards the fireplace looked like this:
The next thing Birgit had to create was a fire back plate. This is what she used: Two layers of thin cardboard, some rhinestones and a dragon charm.
And after this piece was painted in black silver Birgit made a little test...
... it fits and looks good. Nevertheless the plate was glued in place much later - protection against spilling... *LOL* And I suppose you've already discovered it - not only Birgit's brushes were active again but the Aluminium foil too was needed once more. You must know the fireplace is supposed to grow out of the roof wall in Gertie's room, you can see this better at the next picture.
And of course the "rocks" needed to be painted... and Birgit added another tiny detail. Say, can you spot it?
Okay, I admit it, it's hard to see... so here comes a close-up.
Now it's visible, isn't it? Birgit covered the upper posts with air-dry clay to make them look like tiny tree trunks. And do I even have to mention that Birgit also painted those little tree trunks? But this wasn't still all yet...
Now they turned into tiny trees complete with leaves... Well, and now it's goodbye time for today - in the next post I'm going to reveal the mystery about the demon skulls... and I'm going to show you how the fireplace will look when finished... and also why Birgit needed the help of an expert... ;O)

The new and not improved travel ban that targets Muslims tries to justify the need for national security with the claim that there are 300 investigations into refugees.
Not convictions. Not even prosecutions. "Investigations". Let me be clear, investigations clear people. Investigations into crimes or terrorism look at a lot of people, many who are guilty of nothing as a process of elimination.
In a separate piece of news, we learned today that apparently one of those who is being investigated, or at least having his right to travel reviewed, is Khazr Khan, the father of the Muslim soldier who gave his life to protect this country. Kahn and his wife spoke out during Hillary Clinton's campaign, parents who were subsequently shamefully vilified by Trump and his campaign. There is no evidence of any legitimate reason Khan should be singled out for this 'review' or investigation other than a politicized attack by Trump on this patriotic American citizen.
That taints all of these other supposed 300 'investigations'.
Since some 50,000 refugees entered this country just last year alone, and we have been taking in refugees since long before the Obama administration -- so what? What is the REAL significance of this vague assertion (another one without evidence)? The biological father of Steve Jobs came here as a Syrian political refugee back in the mid 1950s.
So who are these suspect refugees? Absent any other information as to how long they have been here, what screening they underwent in order to arrive here and in particular the information we have from Homeland Security that national origin is no predictor of terrorism and that most terrorists are radicalized AFTER arriving here, that assertion by the spectacularly less than honest Trump administration to justify, or attempt to justify, the anti-Muslm ban (and that is still what it is) is worse than meaningless.
I predict that this ban will fail for exactly the same reasons as the previous executive order -- because it is malicious, bigoted and incompetent.
So far the reality is that ZERO refugees from any of the remaining six countries have committed terrorist acts against the United States on US soil. And if actual terrorism is the standard, then we should be banning refugees and immigrants and visa seekers from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Chechnya, among others, and not from the countries Trump has singled out for apparently unfounded persecution.
We are not safer in the US, we are under greater fascism and authoritarianism. We are afflicted by official bigotry and hate and intolerance and ignorance. THAT is dangerous.

Picture Book Review: The Three Ninja Pigs
The Three Ninja Pigs
Written by: Rosen Schwartz
Illustrated by: Dan Santa
Published by: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 2012
* I am a big fan of fractured fairy tales and we have read many as a family. I think this one is one of my favorites! This story told in rhyme, is a take on The Three Little Pigs with a martial arts theme. My family could relate to this book since both my husband and kids are all taking tae kwon do. In this book the reader is introduced to aikido, jujitsu, and karate, since each pig chooses a different discipline to study at the Ninja school, after being bullied by the wolf. The pigs (and reader) learns that takes time and practice to master. I liked how the third pig demonstrated to the pig what she could do with some bricks, rather than actually hurt the pig. That alone was enough to scare him off. The pig related puns were humorous and the illustrations were colorful and engaging. This was an enjoyable read that we all enjoyed!
This book was borrowed from the library.
Family Rating: 2 thumbs up!

This book looks hilarious! I am also a fan of fractured fairy tales and I will definitely look for this at my library.ReplyDelete
Thanks for linking up to the Kid Lit Blog Hop!
That is such a fabulous picture book. I love how each of the three pigs got trained in a different martial art. I too (along with my kids) enjoy fractured fairy tales - the possibilities are endless, aren't they? Some authors get so creative and they make it so much more interesting and fresh for the grown-ups who have to read these stories again and again. Thanks for linking into the Kid Lit Blog Hop. Great to see you there once again. :DReplyDelete

Marketing and Media Relations
Are you having difficulty raising awareness of an issue, a cause, an event or a campaign? Have the media tell your story! This workshop will teach you how to get your message out in a noisy world by using free or low-cost publicity channels. You'll learn basic publicity tools, what makes a newsworthy story, and content ideas that attract good publicity.
Why Should Donors Give
Your nonprofit's case for support is not an exercise in creative writing. It's the single most important document you'll ever create for your organization. It's the thing that compels people to join your board, volunteer, become employees, and give money to your mission and programs. Writing, editing, and maintaining your case support doesn't have to be an exercise of philosophical debate or weekend retreats. This workshop will teach you how to write an effective case statement that reflects the thoughtful, measured impact of your nonprofit's mission.
Core Management Skills
This workshop provides middle-level leaders with an introduction to highly applicable, fundamental skills related to Human Resource Management, Financial Management and Programmatic Performance Improvement needed to address and resolve workplace issues, as well as strengthen leadership potential.
Volunteer Engagement
Volunteers can be the lifeblood of your organization. Whether they help children read, organize events, or simply stuff envelopes, volunteers can add a wealth of capacity to meeting your mission. But do you know how to recruit and maintain loyal effective volunteers? Join Hands On Broward and Impact Broward as they provide best practices for creating an army of dedicated volunteers.
Non-Profit Stewardship
One of the most challenging roles of a "Chief Everything Officer" is to create financial stability. How do you prove to donors, funders, lenders, and potential employees that your organization is financially viable and well stewarded? How do you manage limited cash flow? How do you prepare for a financial audit? By the end of this workshop you'll understand accounting best practices for nonprofits, how to present financial information to stakeholders, how to manage your limited cash flow so you don't run out of money, and how to prepare for and respond to a financial audit.
Building Winning Boards
Do you long to have an engaged, hard-working, fundraising Board of Directors to work alongside you? You can! This workshop will teach you effective recruitment, onboarding, meeting planning, committee structure, and conflict management strategies to help you create an effective board that works hard for you. By the end of this session you'll have assessment tools and templates to organize, train, and turn your board into a fully engaged board.
