UC Diversity Leaders Retreat: Reaffirming Inclusion at the University of California
Months before the 2016 election, representatives from across the University of California met for a university-wide Diversity Leaders Retreat in Irvine September 26–27. For our 10 campuses and university-administered federal laboratories that compete for students, faculty and staff, the opening session was an impressive sight to behold. Then, Dr. Yvette Gullatt, UC Vice Provost for Diversity and Engagement, invited participants to share, think and connect. Over the next day and a half, participants did indeed learn from each other in a compelling set of concurrent panels on the multifaceted dimensions of diversity among our students, staff and faculty. At the close of the retreat, delegations described their plans for the future and pledged to update the community about their progress in a year at the next retreat.
Although retreats are familiarly regular at the campus level, it was the first such diversity retreat for the University of California after California voters passed Proposition 209 in 1996. This change to the state constitution prohibited the use of race, gender and national origins in either admissions or employment to any of the three higher education systems. Like voters in 2016, the state's white voters took out their anger about declining opportunities and a lower standard of living against the populations who were historically disenfranchised or otherwise experienced persistent disparities in educational opportunity and occupational mobility. In truth, voters followed the regents. In 1995, the very custodians of the university approved SP-1 and SP-2, which prohibited the use of ethnicity, national origin, race, religion and sex in admissions and employment and contracting, respectively. In carrying out their charge, a majority justified their vote as "fairness" in the name of strengthening standards at a time of rising competition for admissions and employment.
The effect of fairness led to a steep decline in the numbers and proportion of African-American, Chicano/Latino and American Indian students. Another two decades transpired before the percentage of Latinos recovered, but African Americans and American Indians have not. Always low, the diversity of the faculty and graduate population remains largely unchanged. The meaning of the 209 effect varies, of course. To communities of color, it signaled the culmination of a backlash against racial justice that commenced as soon as the Nixon administration adopted the Philadelphia Plan — the forerunner of federal affirmative action policies — in 1967. For the rapidly shrinking student population, the campus climate became cold, if not hostile, as the experience of daily micro-aggressions and micro-invalidations added up to a new normal. For opponents, the invisibility of students of color reflected an alarming institutional capitulation to forces of exclusion. If anything, the post-209 era witnessed the relentless hallowing out of dedicated faculty and staff whose labor and knowledge provided the brain trust and foot soldiers for bridging the university to underserved communities. Those who remained faced an institutional culture fearful and reluctant to challenge or transgress the real and imagined proscriptions of Proposition 209. There were no systemwide retreats.
Between 2006 and 2016, the momentum for change slowly gathered pace, spurred on by advocates of diversity and gender equity and the attention of the state legislature. A new cohort of Regents rescinded SP-1 and -2 and publicly advocated for diversity. University presidents used their authority to appoint taskforces to assess the state of diversity among faculty, students and the staff, and create mechanisms for greater accountability. Chancellors, who shared a commitment to institutional transformation, engaged and collaborated with the academic senate and established new or repurposed former offices to organize campus efforts. It is too early to tell if the sum of the parts today is greater than the whole. At least, now there is a growing community of faculty and staff, distributed across the campuses and laboratories, who are passionately committed to inclusive excellence. To the extent that we hold our campuses and the university to its public commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, I remain confident that the momentum for change will only accelerate. If we stand together, we can advance inclusive excellence regardless of the vagaries of state or national elections.

It surprises me, that even a decade later, more and more fans in Bangladesh are venturing into the realm of watching foreign leagues. As a nation whose national sport is kabaddi, and where the staple game of choice is cricket – it is shocking how the fan base around football continues to grow with every passing year.
However, while cricket has established itself in the annals of Bangladesh sporting history, the trend with football is quite different. Cricket in Bangladesh has its own domestic leagues, with most fans watching either the franchise-based Bangladesh Premier League or just first-class cricket in general. With football, on the other hand, our fascination doesn't lie within our own borders.
Instead, we find ourselves obsessed with the many European leagues taking place throughout the year.
The phenomenon of becoming "fans of foreign football" does not readily make sense. Our passion for some far-off country's league and its systems, along with our undying loyalty for the clubs, isn't something that can be easily comprehended by someone looking in from the outside.
When questioned about our passion for these foreign clubs, Fahim Imtiaz, 23, and a fan of Manchester United, said, "My first memories of watching football is that of United. This was during the prime Sir Alex Ferguson (SAF) era, when United dominated the English top-tier with insane performances and comebacks. As a young fan, United became the definition of quintessential football for me; the resulting loyalty that I have for the team lasted all the way through to its lowest points, in the post-Ferguson era. You cannot buy this type of loyalty, it has to be earned."
While this explains, to some degree, why newcomers tend to garner such high levels of loyalty for these foreign clubs, it's still difficult to understand why the domestic leagues in Bangladesh are overlooked in comparison to the likes of the English Premier League (EPL) or the continental UEFA Champions League (UCL).
Even in the presence of the Bangladesh Premier League Football (BPL), the country's top professional football league, these foreign leagues have for the longest time dominated the attention of local football fans.
So, why is it that we are more hyped for a Merseyside derby than our own Abahani versus Mohammedan?
Tawsif B. Akkas, co-founder of Plaantik, a central social-hub for Bangladeshi football fans, explains, "We used to worship our local clubs a fair bit in the 80s, it stopped because neither the clubs nor the league capitalised on the fan following over the following decades since. Thanks to the television broadcast, it became much easier to watch European leagues in the 90s, when compared to waiting in traffic for hours to go watch a local game of football. The European clubs, particularly the ones from the English Premier League, capitalised on this demand. For many youngsters, it became easier to relate to the whole culture of fan following as a 'foreign supporter' than to actually support a local club. At the end of the day, in any capacity humans are still tribal; we love the overall feeling of 'belonging'."
When further asked if and how having a foreign fan base impacts the European teams, Akkas said, "Contrary to how it was a few decades ago, a large chunk of the fans for some of these big European clubs are foreign. From selling TV rights to jersey sales, these clubs have definitely felt the impact from fans overseas. This phenomenon of foreign following is also one of the main reasons why these clubs hold various pre-season friendlies and tournaments around the world. The Premier League trophy tour, which came to Dhaka along with the Manchester United Legends, is an excellent example of European teams marketing their culture to us.
A spokesperson for the official Chelsea FC Bangladesh Supporters Club, when asked about our passion for leagues foreign to our own football culture, mentioned, "What the foreign leagues provide for us, like proper TV and media coverage, promotions, suitable weekend kick-off hours and home-away formats, all overshadow whatever is provided by our local football leagues. At present social media contents too have solid impacts to achieve sustainability – which is also missing here in Bangladeshi football."
There's still a lot to take away from the answers above. It seems the infrastructure of our local leagues have been set up to fail since the very beginning. Lack of quality and proper marketing, combined with little to no opportunity to hone young talents, has left us with a local football scene that can't even compete with a team from the lower leagues of Europe.
While we may still be a long way off from fixing the internal cogs that turn the wheel of the local football industry, it may prove useful to understand just how these foreign teams capitalised on our local fans.
The Bangladesh Premier League failed to capture the market, mainly due to the lacklustre state of its promotion, production and rosters. Add to that the overall lack of proper football stadiums further aggravated the situation to its current state.
On a different note, hugely popular international clubs such as Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool have affiliated themselves with local fan communities in Bangladesh to form official supporter's clubs. Such PR moves helped accentuate the popularity of these clubs amongst the local youth, who are only now beginning to watch football.
Student of BRAC University, Shaer Ali, 22, told why he supports a foreign team over a local one: "I fell in love with Liverpool FC the night they won the Champions League against AC Milan, in Istanbul. It's a pretty stereotypical moment to pick, but having witnessed such a high level of football definitely set the bar for me. While I love watching Bangladesh play cricket, when it comes to football, our local leagues have not reached the level of skill that makes me want to sit down and watch every one of their matches. Their league is filled with exhilarating moments all throughout the season, whereas ours lacks in overall flair."
The sentiment isn't too far-fetched either. Similar to how we, as consumers, import foreign products in the absence of quality local ones, our football industry is now the same inferior local product – maybe even an absent one – resulting in us importing foreign leagues from England, Spain, Germany and the lot, to quench our thirst for exciting football.
Another part of the problem has been the culture passed down to us by the generations before us. The older generation of our country grew up obsessed with cricket, their only football content being the FIFA World Cup of yesteryears. This resulted in an abundance of Argentina and Brazil fans in Bangladesh. Their influence on the future generations certainly played a major role in setting the foundation of football in Bangladesh, the way it is at present.
However, despite the obstacles in its path, Bangladeshi football still has a silver lining lurking in the distance. The new generation of football fans in Bangladesh are more diversified than ever. Gone are the days of supporting only Argentina and Brazil during the World Cup; the city takes on a spectrum of colours from all the national flags hoisted on rooftops and balconies whenever the coveted tournament returns.
These fans will help set the standards for the days to come, and if the local football scene makes an attempt to garner their interest, then maybe there's a future where, Abahani versus Mohammedan will be the game school kids discuss in classes instead.

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Britain, France, Germany and Portugal are asking the U.N. Security Council to condemn Syria's violent crackdown against protesters and urge restraint by the government, council diplomats said on Monday.
But it was unclear whether Russia and China would support the idea. The two permanent veto-wielding council members have become increasingly critical of the U.N.-backed intervention to protect civilians in Libya, which U.N. diplomats say Moscow and Beijing worry aims at ousting Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.
"We would like council members to condemn the violence in Syria and to urge restraint," a diplomat told Reuters on condition of anonymity.
At least 18 people were killed on Monday when Syrian soldiers and tanks stormed the southern city of Deraa, prominent activist Ammar Qurabi said.
Western powers which took up arms against Gaddafi's forces, citing the United Nations principle of the responsibility to protect civilians, have confined themselves so far to verbal condemnations of the killing of hundreds of people in Syria.
Another U.N. diplomat said the four European members of the council have circulated a draft statement to the other 11 member states that also supports U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's call over the weekend for an independent investigation into the killings of demonstrators.
The Europeans hope a condemnation by the Security Council could increase the pressure on Syria to halt its crackdown on anti-government demonstrators, diplomats said.
The United States on Monday said it was considering "targeted sanctions" against the government of President Bashar al-Assad in response to its violent crackdown on protesters.
There was no move to discuss the possibility of U.N. sanctions against Syria at the moment, one diplomat said.
Russia and China have indicated they would be loath to have the council take up another internal conflict that they consider to be a domestic issue. The council has been unable to agree to a statement on unrest in another Arab state, Yemen.
The European draft statement on Syria notes that the situation is significant for the outlook for peace and security across the Middle East, a diplomat said. Reference to an international dimension to the violence could make it more difficult for Russia and China to refuse to discuss Syria.
Council discussion of Syria could also be awkward for Beirut. Lebanon, the sole Arab council member, has had a troubled relationship with its neighbor and Syrian influence remains strong there.

Retail marketing scientists have mastered the art of seduction. They make a living by influencing your purchasing decisions and, on occasion, roping you into buying something you really don't need. They have myriad analytics at their disposal, and they're not shy about using them to tempt you into abandoning all rational behavior and making impulse purchase decisions -- the kind that results in shocking credit card bills at the end of the month.
Running of the brides
One of the most extreme examples of how far sales can drive otherwise rational people to total shopping madness is Filene's Basement's 'Running of the Brides' sale. Filene's Basement is now closed, but while in business, its annual sale event attracted thousands of brides-to-be from around the world, all eager to find their dream designer dress at a rock bottom price. At 8:00 a.m. the pistol was fired and the doors flew open, launching an all-day bridal war that sent silk and lace flying, and threw etiquette right out the window -- all for the sake of bargain basement pricing.
Hopefully, you won't be involved in a brawl over retailers' wares. But we all feel that inner itch when we learn about a good sale. Marketing tactics have become so slick these days that retailers can regularly convince us to part with our money in unplanned ways and even leave us feeling happy about it.

How fonts and 9's get you to buy
Think of how retail marketing scientists manipulate pricing signage during sales. They commonly use signs that emphasize the original price in big font and deemphasize the sale price in small font. Research shows that when the sale price is presented in smaller font, it gives the illusion of being more affordable and triggers impulsive purchases.
Of course, sales aren't the only way retailers lure us into spending more. There's the ever-popular "number nine" ploy. In the past, whenever I saw items marked at $9.99 instead of $10, I used to say to myself, "Who do they think they're fooling?" But like most people, I underestimated the power of the number nine. As William Poundstone points out in his book Priceless, eight different studies show that setting price points that include the number nine increased sales by 24 per cent!

Pricing decoys
Pricing decoys are another way retailers get you to part with more money than you planned on. In his book, Predictably Irrational, behavioural economist and professor Dan Ariely demonstrates how a large magazine successfully used a strategy called the "decoy effect" to increase revenue from subscription sales. Prospective subscribers were given three choices:
- Choice #1: Web-only subscription for $59
- Choice #2: Print-only subscription for $125
- Choice #3: Web + print subscription for $125
At first glance, the middle price point appears to be superfluous. Why would anyone buy a print-only subscription for $125 if they could get a web and print for the same price? Ariely tested the price points with MIT students and found that 16 per cent of students chose option 1 and 84 per cent chose option 3; not surprisingly, none chose option 2.
Then Ariely did something really interesting; on the assumption that having a decoy price (option 2) was influencing people's choices, he removed the decoy and retested the price points. This time, the subscription choices were as follows:
- Choice #1: Web-only subscription for $59
- Choice #2: Web + print subscription for $125
With the decoy removed, the option that had previously been the most popular -- the more expensive print + online access subscription -- suddenly became the least popular choice. Only 32 per cent of those surveyed chose the more expensive option, with 68 per cent selecting the online-only subscription. Clearly, the middle price point wasn't superfluous; it was smart marketing that made option 3 look more attractive to subscribers.
The decoy effect applies to other items as well. Take wine, for example; we end up spending more if we are given three different price points as opposed to two. If one bottle is cheap, say $10, and the third bottle is expensive, ringing in around $50, then suddenly a $30 bottle seems reasonable -- even if the customer only intended to spend $15-$20 at the most.

Only pay full retail
Retailers aren't about to stop using the tried-and-true tricks that have worked for decades. Ultimately, it's up to us resist their persuasion and take responsibility for our spending. That's why I suggest to skip the sale and only pay full retail.
At first glance, this might seem counter-intuitive, but consider this: If you added up all the unneeded items you bought on sale -- think clothes in your closet that still have tags attached, or toys and tools in the garage that have never been used -- you'll probably find that the cost outweighs what you would have spent if you'd only bought things you really needed, even at full retail price. If you consciously walk away from every sale and always pay full retail prices -- on items you really need -- your finances will almost certainly come out on top. Keep in mind I'm not talking about toilet paper and toothpaste; those daily necessities are great to purchase on sale. It's those big ticket items, like high-tech toys or designer duds that you should look to buy only when you really need them, not just because they're marked down.
When there's a "60 per cent off" sign dangling in front of you, it takes a lot of willpower to resist. You may need some practice, and a lot of dedication, to be able to consistently respect your financial limits. But if you commit to only paying full retail price, the "60 per cent off" sign loses a lot of its persuasive power. Don't submit to temptation; take control of your spending habits, and your financial future will remain yours to dominate.

Channel your inner Mary Lou Retton at open gymnastics facility
Gym X-Treme is making the world of gymnastics more accessible and less intimidating for many central Ohioans who've never had an opportunity to walk across a 4-inch-wide balance beam, swing on a set of uneven bars or tumble across a bouncy floor mat.
By opening its two facilities in Lewis Center and Canal Winchester to the public during designated "open gym" hours, children and adults can sample these apparatuses and others under the watchful eye of a gymnastics coach.
I visited Gym X-Treme in Lewis Center with my 5-year-old daughter, Rosie, during a birthday party. Rosie and her friends had the whole gym to themselves for two hours.
I was content to watch the children play through a picture window in an observation room, until the coach invited us moms into the gym to try out the equipment, too.
At age 43, I've seen my share of summer Olympic Games on TV, from watching Nadia Comaneci score her first "perfect 10" in 1976 to Kerri Strug being carried by coach Bela Karolyi to receive her gold medal in 1996.
I wasn't the only mom who seemed thrilled by this opportunity. I bounced on the mini trampoline, cartwheeled across the floor mat and jumped from a vault into a pit of colorful, spongy cubes. I also hung on the uneven bars and walked the entire length of a raised balance beam, jumping off for a dismount. It was awesome!
As exciting it was for me, I could tell the children were having even more fun.
For those who feel so inclined to take lessons, Gym X-Treme offers instruction in competitive gymnastics.
Open gym times are Fridays, 8-10 p.m. All ages are welcome and those ages 8 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Cost is $10. "Mommy and Me" gym time is noon-1:30 p.m., Wednesday and Thursday. Cost is $5 ($4 for additional siblings), for children age 15 months to 6 years. All participants must sign a release form before participating.
The Lewis Center facility is located at 7708 Green Meadows Dr., and the Canal Winchester gym is at 6810 Thrush Dr.

One of Cape Town's most glamorous shopping, socialising and dining destinations gets a suitably stylish new addition.
It's no secret that the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront is one of the city's most popular spots to see-and-be-seen. Busy until late at night 365 days a year, the V&A is a magnet for both local and international style mavens, thanks to the plethora of diverse offerings, its infectious buzz and of course the magnificent Table Bay harbour and Table Mountain views.
The Harbour House Group is well versed in responding to the diverse tastes of South Africa's socialites and foodies alike and the news that La Parada V&A Waterfront is opening is perfectly timed for the summer months, when the city's glamazons come out to play and when tourists pour into the city. Featuring two beautifully dressed floors of dining and cocktail spaces, La Parada V&A Waterfront is a polished destination that marries thoughtfully conceived and on-trend surrounds with their much loved contemporary tapas menu.
Traditionally served in Spanish wine bars, at La Parada V&A Waterfront the tapas concept has evolved from the traditional two-bite snack experience to a more modern shared-plated offering – and people love it!
La Parada V&A Waterfront Brand Chef Roche Rossouw says "We serve everything from smart, snack style choices like prawn croquettes to more robust offerings like our famous crispy Pork Belly or our grilled cheese with ham and truffle – we cater for every level of appetite. The La Parada offering works for any time of the day and suits the brand's diverse mix of guests", adding "whether people are popping in for a cheeky glass of wine and enjoying sharing plates or are planning to linger longer, there's something on the menu that matches any food mood".
La Parada V&A Waterfront joins its sister eateries at Constantia Nek and Bree Street and like its popular predecessors, there is no doubt this convivial dining concept will fill a niche.
"La Parada is a really stylish space but the style of food makes it unpretentious too – it's the kind of spot that's perfect for after work drinks or to host your birthday party", says Harbour House Group Marketing Manager, Tahlia Bester.
A new addition to La Parada V&A Waterfront is the inclusion of an upstairs private area in the design. The lounge, dining and bar concept is tucked away from the main restaurant and is a discreet, thoughtfully conceived space for guests to meet, eat and drink. A dedicated hospitality team and additional whisky bar concept will add to the exclusive ambience of this stylish space.
"It's all part of the brand tapping into what people want – our research shows that guests want to be part of the main restaurant mix but they like the option of a more private space too", says Tahlia.
Likewise, the interior at La Parada V&A Waterfront is sure to turn heads. An eye catching palette of wood, exposed brick, marble and tropical touches reveals a nod to current trends and the eatery's Spanish influences while detailed patterning, lush greenery and touches of metallic are timeless additions that add more visual layers to the mix. Add in the extraordinary views of the harbour and you have a winning combination that's sure to draw in a cosmopolitan, fun loving and food focused crowd!
La Parada V&A Waterfront opens in early November and is situated at 1 Dock Rd, V&A Waterfront, Cape Town.

In a social media-centered world, the smart phone has become a cultural rite of passage for kids. But is that rite all wrong? How can this generation of parents blaze a new trail to equip their kids to thrive in an ever-changing digital environment while steering clear of the dangers that lurk nearby?
With six kids, Kirk Cameron fully understands this dilemma. So, he went to the experts, and what he learned will enlighten, challenge, and encourage parents. And best of all: it can help strengthen your family. The result of his research can be seen in the cinema event "Kirk Cameron: CONNECT" and promises to offer real help for parenting kids in a social media world.
In an online world that creates an illusion of reality and "friends" through social media, apps and "followers," "Kirk Cameron: CONNECT" pulls back the curtain to the benefits, dangers and boundaries that every parent, teacher, pastor or youth leader should consider while monitoring and utilizing technology in our children's lives. As Cameron reminds parents, "The heart of the battle is really the battle of the heart."
"God-fearing parents can find confidence and guidance when it comes to the challenges of parenting in our technology-driven world, knowing that God has fully equipped us for the sacred calling as a parent," said Cameron. "We have resources to prepare our children as they learn their purpose and identity, and responsibly use technology to understand family, friends, God and the world around them."
If you're committed to raising kids who will make an impact in this world, see CONNECT and find real help for parenting kids in a social media world. For two nights only, Fathom Events, CAMFAM Studios and Provident Films present "Kirk Cameron: CONNECT" exclusively in movie theaters nationwide on Tuesday, February 27 and Thursday, March 1 at 7:00 p.m. local time (both days).

Premium granite water-etched paving
Plaza paving is manufactured using the highest quality granite and quartz aggregates.
It's available in a wide range of depths, sizes and colours – meaning that it's the perfect tool for creating innovative hard landscaping designs in large urban schemes that require both style and longevity. Plaza is created using a water-based process that's unique is this price range, giving it a more vibrant exposed face and a rich, modern look.
Plaza is made by AG in one of Europe's most modern manufacturing facilities, meaning that it's precision-made for trouble-free laying. Our state-of-the-art curing system guards against the efflorescence and shading issues that can be a problem with lesser products.
AG uses a unique computer-controlled water-etching process to give Plaza its distinctive, vibrant style. This type of block paving is generally finished by sandblasting or bush hammering, but we believe our process creates a much superior final product.
Plaza comes in 11 standard colours and a huge range of depths and sizes (and in permeable, too) – so you can let your imagination run wild with endless possibilities for developing creative laying patterns for both commercial and domestic paving.
Plaza is manufactured using the highest-quality aggregates, giving it an uncommon durability that's ideal for use in high-traffic areas. It also has an excellent slip resistance rating that persists over the life of the product.
Plaza is produced in the UK from locally sourced materials, using a high percentage of recycled non-primary materials in the base mix, and 90% harvested rain water and 100% renewable energy in the production process.
Plaza is the perfect complement for any modern scheme – but works great in conservation areas too.

One of the closest election battles this year in the United States is in the state of Nevada.
While the population is a mere 4 million and the state is allocated only 6 delegates to the Electoral College, the Silver State could decide who the next President of the United States is.
Having been involved in the last 11 Federal Elections at home, I was curious on the differences and similarities between Elections in Canada and U.S.
Having been given the opportunity to go to Las Vegas, I quickly signed up to volunteer with the Obama Campaign – Organizing For America (The Democratic Party closely resembles the party I belong to in Canada)
Here is what I've seen so far.
Clark County
Las Vegas is situated in Clark County. Along with the Cities of North Las Vegas and Henderson, this area represents the majority of voters in Nevada.
There is a very large Hispanic community in Clark County, with most Latinos living in the eastern part of the county. The African American Community also represent a large part of this area. The western part of the area (called Summerlin) contains a very large, mostly white, upper middle class population.
The rest of the State is made up multi-generational Nevadans, white, highly religious – Christian and Mormon and very conservative.
Las Vegas has seen the highest unemployment rate in the country. The rate is currently 11%, down from it's high of 14% two years ago but still one of the highest in the country.
Las Vegas also saw some of the most dramatic drops in home values in the U.S. Thousands of homes were foreclosed on and many are currently "under water" in regards to their mortgage. ("underwater" meaning the mortgage is much higher than the current value of the home)
It is not uncommon to see hotel/office structures that were partially completed still sitting half completed 4 years later.
President Obama won this State in 2008 quite handily by 12 %.
The Campaigns
The Campaigns could not be any more different.
The Romney campaign, on the surface, looks like any campaign that has been run in the last 50 years.
Due to a very public and bitter fight between the Romney team and the Ron Paul team in the Primaries last year, the Nevada Republican Party has not been helping much with the Romney Campaign. This because the organization was taken over by the Paul team earlier this year and they literally changed the locks on the Republican office not involving themselves with the campaign.
I've seen many people with "Ron Paul – A founding Father of the Tea Party" T-shirts around town.
This resulted in the Romney Campaign having to start from scratch. In all of Clark County, the Romney Campaign has only one office. This at the very edge of western Clark County in Summerlin, taking the empty space in a strip mall in front of an "In 'N Out" Burger Joint (fantastic Burgers by the way, too bad we don't have them back home). I've also heard that the key people of the local campaign are actually volunteers from nearby California.
In contrast, the Obama Team has 13 offices in Las Vegas. Along with the formal offices, regions are divided up and serviced by "local neighbourhood operations". The one I was assigned to is actually the garage of a volunteer's house. The garage door is open all day, desks are manned, flyers, posters and poll kits are organized and handed out to the volunteers.
The neighbourhood operations are setup so that volunteers usually canvass in the areas where they live and many times actually know the people who live behind the doors their knocking on.
What is similar between this campaign and our last federal campaign is the goal of the local volunteers. Identifying people who are your supporters and then making sure they vote, either in the early voting days or on Election Day this Tuesday. The use of phone poll services using live people and Robo calls are the same, the information sheets given to canvassers are similar, the process of knocking on doors is the same and the strategy of getting people to the polls is exactly the same.
What is different is the amount of resources available and how they are used. When I informed the office manager that in Canada we have just 5 weeks to identify our voters he looked astounded telling me that they have been identifying for over one year. He looked even more shocked when I told him that in the last local riding campaign I was involved with our budget limit was approximately $100,000. The spending for the Presidential and Senate races will come close to $100,000,000 in Nevada alone.
Contact with voters is mostly electronic, brochures are scarce; I've only seen 10 election signs for any candidate in the areas I've canvassed. Social media is an everyday tool, Election ads are being received by Smart phones on a regular basis. This, along with constant TV and Radio Ads, ensures that you're hearing from the Campaign and/or the President on a regular basis.
This strategy seems to be working. The people who voted early has equalled close to 56% of all eligible voters. Even more impressive is this total is 65% of the number of actual voters in the 2008 campaign. The amount of registered Democrats who voted early is 50,000 higher than the amount registered Republicans that have voted so far.
The local Romney Campaign's volunteers look very similar to each in terms of ethnicity and economic status. I realize this is a generality, but on the surface this is what comes to mind immediately.
You easily see the difference in the types of volunteers with the Obama team. I have seen people wearing buttons declaring "Latinos for Obama", "Asian Americans for Obama", "African Americans for Obama", "LBGT for Obama" and "Veterans for Obama" to name a few.
Saturday – Day One
I arrived late Friday and went straight to the neighbourhood office. It was agreed that I start the next day, Saturday.
With a poll kit in hand I canvassed various polls in Summerlin. The area is beautiful, right under the mountains at Red Rock Canyon. To call the area Breathtaking does not do it justice. The sun was shining and it was a warm 80 degrees outside (you can do the translation into Celsius)
The homes looked expensive and like they were built within the last 10 years. Immaculate parks are everywhere, the boulevards contain desert fauna and palm trees.
On the surface it looks like the recession passed this area by but when you knock on some of the doors you see this isn't the case. Many homes had lock boxes on the door with what looked like days of mail littering the front stoop. The people who lived there either lost that home or abandoned it. Easily 10% of the homes on my list fell into this category
Being a Saturday, a lot of people were not home. Of the people who were home, all were very friendly and promised to vote for the President on Tuesday. I had an interesting conversation with one lady who did affirm she was voting for the President but reluctantly. When I asked why, she clearly stated that she liked Mitt Romney but was terrified by the Tea Party. We'll take the vote, thanks!
4 hours later and very tired, I returned to the office. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't connect with more voters but the office manager did point out that these lists were some of the final ones and the areas with the large identified voters have been completed already.
Sunday – Day 2
Was sent to the most north western portion of Clark County. You are literally in the desert surrounded by mountains of rock. This area looks like the last of the subdivisions built before real estate crashed.
Went into a gated community made up of new, smaller, modest, attached units all centred around small cul de sacs. The people were mostly either white and elderly or Hispanic.
Again many people were not home, this being a Sunday.
The reception at the door in this area was not as positive as yesterday. People were complaining at the constant "interruptions" they have been getting from phone calls or people knocking at their doors.
Found out that the campaign sent canvassers to this very area yesterday, knocking at the same doors, talking to the same people. I apologized profusely and left.
In one cul de sac I was met by a few elderly people who were sitting in their garage. At first their reception was not "warm", especially when they saw my Obama pin I was wearing. They were sure to tell me that they all voted for Romney.
I broke the first rule of canvassing. As soon as you know that they individual is not voting for you, you politely thank them and quickly leave. I was very curious as to why they voted the way they did.
Their first reason is that "Mitt" will save their Medicare. What? Well of course I thought, billionaires are always concerned about saving any form of socialized medicine.
Second, Obama drove the U.S. into recession. Again, what? Apparently, the previous Bush White House had nothing to do with. Another thing I got wrong.
Finally, Romney will restore the Power and Respect of the U.S. in the rest of the world. Double What???? I thought it was President Obama who took care of Bin Laden and ended the war in Iraq. I have to start watching FOX News.
I thanked them for their time and made the long trip back to the garage, I mean "office".
I sarcastically thanked the office manager for sending me into that coyote and scorpion infested area, which didn't scare me as much as the reception I received from some of the people there. He continued to laugh!
On to tomorrow.

Here's how you can decide why you should prepare for NEET with online Coaching.
Do you know how many students prepare for NEET every year? It's 30 lac. Now the next big question is how many qualified teachers are there to teach those people?
Believe me, it's not even in 5 digits. If my calculation is right and I take the most ideal case, there will be approximately 500 students per teacher.
Seems like an issue? But what If I tell you out of these 7000 teachers 90% are in metro cities and out of 30 lac students 70% are in small cities and remote places.
Every year lot of students have been preparing for long to make their dream a reality and all they need is accurate NEET syllabus to prepare. NEET Syllabus is divided into four subjects - Physics, Chemistry, Botany and Zoology. Students need to complete all the 97 chapters of NEET Syllabus in order to score good rank in NEET Exam. Also, it is important to know the steps to register for NEET application form. Aspirants of NEET seeking admission at the undergraduate level are advised to check the eligibility criteria of NEET.

Now, Let's get into this amazing journey where you will find why online coaching is the next big thing to make your dream, becoming a doctor, come true.
Here are the points proving why internet based learning is convenient than offline coaching.
1. Videos are the Talking Book
Below mentioned is a little comparison of why video lecture can be a helpful tool to understand things more easily than books.
2. 24X7 Access to the Lectures
Online coaching platforms provide videos available 24 hours to the students. Usually, the kit students get, after purchasing the course, includes a pen drive with all the lectures pre-installed along with the online login credentials.
This service allows students to watch the video lecture at any time, anywhere. Even without the internet connectivity, how convenient isn't it?
You have the video lectures with you and you can access those lectures whenever you have the free time. The flexibility of timing really gives a helping hand.
Whereas, offline coaching doesn't seem to have that flexibility. You need to choose a single slot of timing from the given options and require to stick to that schedule throughout the session.
3. Experts are always available online
Every student wishes to have an expert as their teacher, but that just doesn't happen to everyone. Why? Cause having sessions from experts cost you way more and not all students can afford to pay such fee.
Experts don't even have time to give you daily, offline, lectures. Offline coaching institutes have a rigid schedule to follow so they plan the expert sessions accordingly.
However, in online coaching, you don't face such kind of a problem. You hold the complete freedom to access the lecture from an expert on any chapter at any time.
4. Boost Your Self Study with Online Coaching
Self-study will always be the best way to learn things, but sometimes books don't explain everything you need to understand the concepts.
That said, language explained in the books proves to be difficult to understand sometimes. In such cases, students need some easy to understand language.
In school, teachers have limited time to cover up the whole NEET Syllabus. Under the pressure of which students fail to understand the concepts and teachers somehow avoid taking the pain to explain things more than twice.
However, studying online allows you to rewind the same lecture again and again until you understand the topic.
5. Saves a lot of Your Time and Money too
not every student, who has the dream to become a doctor, comes from a rich family.
Online coaching is much more economic and saves a lot of your parent's money.
Whereas, Offline coaching institute charges you in lacs as their tuition fee for NEET preparation and this surely not affordable by everyone.
Moreover, to attend the lectures you have to get to the coaching center first and that might take around half an hour to 45 minutes to travel (single side).
And this is just a time waste. Not just it wastes your time, it cost you something too.
This time, however, wastage can be eliminated with the online coaching. No travel time and money is required, just a simple login and you are good to go.
6. Practicing with Regular Test Series Made Easy
This is something which you will get in both online and offline coaching.
Both online and offline coaching have their own test series to practice but the major difference is schedule and execution.
Offline coaching has their fixed time slots for a test series to be conducted and it's not necessary that you are prepared at that time.
What may happen is, you may not be ready at the scheduled time to attempt a test and you will end up scoring a not so good result.
On the other hand, online coaching allows you to take the exam at your convenience. Go online, log in to your account, open the test series and you are good to go with that.
However, practicing online requires more discipline towards the preparation. It's very easy to cheat on yourself and that's what needs to be avoided.
You just need to be honest with yourself that you will prepare and attempt the test regularly.
7. Stay Updated with The Latest Notification
You will get updated with the latest changes by both the sources (offline and online). But a minor difference would be that, in offline coaching, you need to wait for the next day until you are in lecture.
And if you missed out on the lecture you missed out on the update.
Whereas, teachers of online coaching releases their views and expert advice online at the very same moment.
For example, NTA (National Testing Agency) has made some updates in the NEET 2019 exam. First, it was notified that NEET exam will be conducted twice a year from 2019 onwards.
But, now they notified that this is not going to happen. NEET exam will be held only once in a year like it was.
Watch this video to know the updates of NEET Exam
So the point is, teachers, update notifications online faster than they update in their offline classes.
And releasing the update about notifications online is much more convenient too, so this makes sense.
With the benefits of internet-based learning available, students gets comfort, convenience and guidance in just couple of clicks.
Choose the best online coaching for neet and All the Best for your preparations.
At NEETPrep we provide a free trial of 10 complete chapters to students just to make them sure that why we could be an ally to pass the stepping stone of the student's dream, i.e, cracking the neet exam.

My husband said to me the other night, "You sure have a lot of birthday dinners to go to." Pause. "Yes I know." I said. "But they're important to me. Super important," I uttered as I smiled and loaded the dishwasher. He didn't say this because he didn't want me to go to the birthday dinners. He said it because he was pointing out the obvious in the middle of discussing our calendar. I do get out often with my mom friends. And I'm thankful. And perhaps he's a tiny bit envious? Probably not, but there's good reason and explanation for our plethora of moms nights out and it's not just about getting tipsy on wine and talking about how excited we are about the upcoming season of Big Little Lies.
This morning on the way home from the grocery, a good (mom) friend of mine texted me a picture of me holding her son the day after he was born. She said "I'll never forget you coming to visit and saying you wanted another baby." Dead silent, I sat at the stop sign for a total of two minutes crying tears into my lap. Luckily there were no cars trying to get past me because all I could do in that moment was remember every detail of every minute of that moment. Holding that tiny newborn baby knowing deep down how desperately I wanted another one of my own. Mom friends remember these things. And they don't just happen to be there for those moments. No, they are there for those moments on purpose... not just the moments that are frivolous and frośe. And here's 5 reasons why.
Men may not talk about marriage to their friends. Or maybe they do. But women who are moms and married? Oh, they talk marriage. Boy do they talk marriage. Because married and kids is a shit show. And the mom code goes something like this. "Yeah, we need to go back to therapy." And then I say, "yeah us too. It's been a week." To which she quickly replies, "Girl, it's been a year. I'm exhausted. I need vodka. Now. Let's get wine soon!" And that wine day turns into conversations about marriage that we never thought we would be having in our 30s and 40s, but we do because marriage. Because it's hard. Because life. And because it's healing to talk it out.
The Children
Whether they are infants or twins or in elementary, it's a conversation. It's an idea. The idea that we are not alone in the diaper changing. Or the complicated breastfeeding. The nipples bleeding. Or the potty training. Or the colic. Or the unrecognizing of oneself post year 1 of baby. It's a conversation daily between women who share common ground. It's more swim teacher recommendation than pool party convo. It's more "why is my daughter so dramatic and bossy at 6?" than what nail polish is more fall. It's more texting a picture to the momsquad of mac and cheese for dinner and an emoji of guilty, sorry not sorry. It's an understanding. It's humility. It's our children and that conversation runs deep.
It might sound flippant and unprofound to engage in a group text for an hour while lying next to your husband watching Netflix, but it could be this reason. Perhaps the text begins with "say a prayer for us tomorrow as we talk to the doctor about so and so and some tests we are running on her." Only to have your message box inundated with 19 messages between the time you get up to use the bathroom and when you promptly return. And it is filled with nothing short of prayer and love from mother to mother in hopes that all tests resolve in a positive manner. Tried and true, the prayers are active and they continue through crying emoji's thanking one another for the support because God knows if something doesn't go right we lean on the people we love for support and they are there. Because the health of our children is our primary prayer. And if the text turns to laughter to soften the mood by one Mom sending a ridiculous meme of Kim Kardashian and you burst into laughter while re-watching the last episode of Ozark with your husband, it is then you realize the mom friend thing is not only real and special, it's actually a wicked force.
The Rat Race
When one friend utters "I need my girls" it can only mean one thing. The Rat race is taking her down. Not to a miserable death. But to the floor, to eat the leftover goldfish. To the wine glass to pour her some sanity. 1 kid. 2 kids. 3 kids. 4. There's no perfect number and there's no right way. We are all running like mice up through the valley and down again surviving the floods, the storms and the burning sun. It's catch and release. High and low. And 8 pm is usually the finish line. And we fall. And it's a really good pick me up just to hear your voice. Just to know you're there. And to hear it from another runner who's running this race just like you. Men may turn on the game or CNN, women plug in their iphone. Or if they're lucky enough, they run to get groceries but secretly come back home with no groceries but fresh newly painted toes and a glass of red wine on their breath.
With marriage, children, our health, and the rat race, comes sex. Without it, none of the former even exists. We are women. We are 30. And 40. And we like romance. And sex. And talking about sex. And we're not afraid to go there. Well, maybe we are after childbirth, or even a couple months after childbirth, but duh. Can you say ouch? But we do eventually go there. Oh yes we do. And the conversations fuel these women. It make us laugh. Make us cry. Make us wonder. Make us feel human. And yes, the wine makes it funner and sillier, but that's the point.
If we can't discuss these 5 extraordinary things in our lives with the women who experience it alongside of us, then what? Sometimes it is indeed frivolous and frośe. And sometimes it's the straw that broke the camels back. And regardless why we go to a birthday dinner or get our nails done for an hour without the children and with the wine, it's all for the goodwill of our human feminine mother spirit. And for that, I'm pretty sure every mother around the world, is thankful for the mom friend. I sure am.

Every Day a Blessing
A Year of God's Love

Blessings, Blessings Everywhere
Every perfect gift is from God. James 1:17
DID YOU KNOW THAT GOD LOVES YOU? He shows you His love with blessings. Blessings are all the things God gives you to show that He is with you always and that He cares for you. God cares so much for you that He went before you and placed blessings all through your life. The person reading this to you is a blessing—a gift to you from God. You can see God's blessings in the sunshine, in the sky, in the green grass on the ground, and everywhere in between. God's blessings are all around you. They are in your house, at school, at the playground, and wherever you go. Finding a blessing is like discovering a treasure. It is God saying, "I love you!"
When you discover a blessing, what should you say? "Thank You, God, for blessing me!"
Shine Your Light
Each of you has received a gift to use to serve others. Be good servants of God's various gifts of grace. 1 Peter 4:10 NCV
JESUS TOLD A STORY ABOUT LIGHT. He asked, "What good is a light if you hide it under a bowl?" He said that every person is like a light. When we share our blessings with others, it is like shining our light on the world. But not sharing our blessings is like hiding our light under a bowl.
God gave you special skills because He loves you. He wants you to share your skills to help others. Are you good at making things? You could make cards or door decorations for people in nursing homes. Are you good at growing things? You could grow some vegetables to give away.
Whatever your skills, don't keep them hidden. Share them with others, and let your light shine.
Use one of your skills to bless someone's day.
God Is Everywhere
"I am with you, and I will protect you everywhere you go." Genesis 28:15
GOD ISN'T ONLY IN HEAVEN. He is everywhere! God has the amazing power to be everywhere all the time. Whether you are at home, at a friend's house, on the playground, or on a vacation far away, God is always with you. He promises to watch over you wherever you go.
God blesses you every day by being there. He is interested in everything you do. When you wake up in the morning, God is there. All day long, He goes with you everywhere. And when you go to sleep at night, God stays and watches over you.
Say, "Hello, God." He hears you. He is with you right now.
Play hide-and-seek with a friend. You can never hide so well that God can't find you!
God, the Maker of Everything
In the beginning God created the sky and the earth. Genesis 1:1
DO YOU ENJOY MAKING THINGS? God does. In the very beginning, God made the daytime and nighttime. Water was all over the place back then, spilling and swishing around, so God separated it from the sky. He gathered the water into oceans. He made land pop up everywhere—mountains, valleys, hills, and fields. He made pretty flowers, green grass, and tall trees. God hung the moon and the sun in the sky, and He filled the sky with stars. He made birds to fly and fish and other sea creatures to live in the water. And then God made animals—tiny mice that squeaked; big, burly lions that roared; every kind of animal! And when God finished filling the earth with these treasures, He said, "This is good."
What is your favorite thing God created? Why?
God Made You!
All the days planned for me were written in your book before I was one day old. Psalm 139:16
GOD MADE THE VERY FIRST MAN AND WOMAN. Their names were Adam and Eve. Then God made more people. He kept making them, and He still adds new people to the world every day.
One day, God made you. Before He made you, He knew exactly who you would be. He knew the color of your eyes, hair, and skin. He knew if your hair would be curly or straight, if you would have freckles on your nose, and even if you could rub your tummy and pat your head at the same time! God knew who your parents would be and what you will be when you grow up. God loves you so much that He knows everything about you.
Isn't it a blessing that God made you? Draw a picture of yourself. Give yourself a happy smile.
God Can Do Anything
God's wisdom is deep, and his power is great. job 9:4
ADDIE AND HER MOMMY WENT TO THE MOVIES. They saw a cartoon that had talking animals. The animals rode bicycles and went to school.
Afterward, Addie's mother wondered, "Could real animals do that?"
"Of course not," said Addie. "It's only pretend."
There are some things that animals and people cannot do no matter how hard they try. The only One who can do everything is God.
With God, anything is possible. He made the world and all of its people. He is everywhere all at the same time. He fills up the earth with many wonderful blessings for you to discover. Do you know anyone else who can do that?
Name three things your parents can do that you can't. Now try to name three things that only God can do.
Jesus Loves Me
Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me. Don't stop them." Matthew 19:14
SOPHIA AND ELLIE ENJOY SINGING SUNDAY SCHOOL SONGS. "Jesus Loves Me" is their favorite. They like to sing, "Jesus loves me, this I know. For the Bible tells me so."
The Bible tells us that when Jesus lived on earth, He spent time with children. He loved them. Even when big crowds came to see Jesus, He said, "Let the little children come to me."
Jesus loves children today just as much as He did back then. He lives in heaven now, but just like God, Jesus sees you and He knows all about you. He loves you with all His heart. Jesus loves every boy and girl wherever they live in the world.
Sophia and Ellie show Jesus they love Him by singing, sharing with each other, and being helpful. Can you think of other ways to show Jesus you love Him?
God Knows Your Name
"I have called you by name, and you are mine." Isaiah 43:1
LONG AGO, SHEPHERD BOYS CARED FOR BIG FLOCKS OF SHEEP. It was their job to take the sheep to pastures where they could eat. Every morning, the shepherds called their sheep by name. "Hurry up, Dexter. Get a move on, Sadie. Good boy, Alexander." There were so many names to remember, but the shepherds knew them all.
God cares for people like a good shepherd. He knows the names of everyone on earth. Can you imagine knowing everybody's name? And God never forgets a name. He made everyone, and He knows exactly who they are. When God looks down from heaven and sees you, He doesn't say, "Look at that kid over there." He calls you by name.
Count how many times you hear your name today. Whenever you hear it, remember that God knows your name and He loves you.

Even the youngest of our children can realize that they are blessed. In fact the Bible says that we are blessed to be a blessing. Every Day a Blessing is intended to help you teach your young child how blessed they are. Through a daily scripture and simple reading readings you can have a conversation about very specific blessings. Each day ends with a suggestion for discussion or action that will help ingrain the principle that was just taught through the devotion. An important principle that is taught throughout the book is that life doesn't have to be perfect for your children to see God's blessings and love for them. The daily readings also help you children realize that all their blessings come from God If you are looking for an easy way to begin the habit of daily devotions with your young child, I highly recommend this resource.

I Think There's Finally A New Vaporizer In Town
For so many years ever since long before vaporizing cannabis was a popular practice, I considered the Volcano by Storz and Bickel the best possible vaporizer money could buy for overall performance. It's just such a great experience sharing a big bag full to the brim with delicious cannabis vapors, and since you're inhaling it in such a clean way it tastes unlike anything you could imagine. That is, until now I think. After trying a FlowerPot one time I have no problem saying it is hands down the best vaporizer that's been created to date, in my opinion of course. I know that's a bold statement so I'll lay out my reasons of course.
Part of the fun of a Volcano is the signature bag that you can fill until it's opaque with a potent cloud of vapor. This unique process is automatically associated to the Volcano now and everybody knows that if you take care of your unit from Storz and Bickel it will never fail you since the parts are reliable and high quality. The FlowerPot has come along and created a brand new unique and original experience. They've gone away from the popular trend of portable or simple devices, and produced a device which is perfect for experienced smokers of all forms of THC. A powerful e-nail is powered by a battery unit (and it looks gorgeous with hemp rope wrapped around the handle too) and you use the e-nail to directly heat dry herb in the bowl of any traditional bong. This lets you vape through a bong so you get even smoother and tastier hits. On top of that, you can vaporizer concentrates at the same time since the top of the e-nail has space for your dabs while you hit your bowl of flower.
Not Convinced It's The Best Vaporizer Yet?
Well, check out some videos and see how many vape critics vouch for the high quality parts. A whole kit with the e-nail and a glass bong, along with adapters for any bong size and some dabbing tools, only costs 600$ which is the same price as a brand new Volcano. If you're skeptical, try to find a store you could try one at, but I guarantee it's a literal face melting and mind blowing experience.

As we have seen in our study in the book of Amos, God is very much aware of and concerned with sins of social injustice- sins against humanity. With this in mind, I have often questioned how the people of Germany could have allowed and been involved in the holocaust in which 6 million Jews were murdered systematically during WWII.....Between 1973 and 2013 in the United States over 56 million babies have been killed in the womb. What did the vast majority of Germans do to contribute to the atrocity of the holocaust? The answer is nothing. They stood by and did nothing. The same thing that the majority of Americans and Christians have done since 1973 regarding abortion. God's Word speaks to us with regard to social injustice and it says,
"Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes. Cease to do evil, (17) Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor; Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow" Isa 1:16-17 .
Church family begin to pray how we at GBC can play a part in eradicating this great evil in our land. Check out John Piper's 5 ways to fight abortion and the links within this short article. May we seek justice, rebuke the oppressor, and defend those who can't defend themselves for the glory of God.
