Checkout 51 is based in Toronto, Canada. The company was founded by three entrepreneurs with extensive experience building successful technology, media, and advertising businesses.
Pema loves to start and grow businesses. He launched an advertising agency in 1997, a national Canadian newspaper in 2004 (Dose), a successful web startup in 2007 (GigPark, acquired 2009) and founded the Toronto office of Rethink advertising in 2010.
For most of Pema's career he has worked with some of the largest packaged goods brands in the world including Unilever, Kraft, Molson, Revlon and many more. It was this experience, combined with ambition to create products that reach millions of people, that helped inspire the idea for Checkout 51.
Pema has lived in New Zealand, the UK and Canada. When he's not in the office you can usually find him riding a bike, sipping an espresso or in a hammock in Muskoka.
Noah does his best thinking in the shower, often pondering new ventures that he hopes will make a dent in the universe. Along with Pema (one of his Checkout 51 co-founders), Noah launched Dose in 2004, a national daily newspaper in Canada, and GigPark in 2007, a web startup to find local businesses through recommendations from friends (acquired 2009). Noah was also a partner in a LASIK surgery startup that leverages referrals from Walmart Vision Centers and started the SixPoints Jewish Venture Philanthropy Fund.
With an MBA from Harvard Business School and a Bachelor of Commerce from McGill University, Noah worked in corporate strategy at Time Warner and business development at MTV Networks. He started his career as a media investment banker at Salomon Smith Barney (now Citigroup) in New York and grew up as a child actor in Toronto.
Noah is a married father of three and a lover of food and baseball.
Andrew enjoys nothing more than building products that people love to use. Prior to Checkout 51 Andrew founded a successful web startup (Verelo, acquired 2012).
Computers have always been part of Andrew's life. During College and University Andrew paid his bills by building and selling computers from his parents house. After starting his career in Australia, where he founded a company that wrote Online Learning software used by mining companies, Andrew moved to Canada where he has worked for a diverse range of technical industries including Web Hosting, Social Media, and Server monitoring.
Andrew enjoys scaling large technical systems, Ping-Pong, and listening to Triple J.

Five generations of Marnie O. Mamminga's family have been rejuvenated by times together in Wisconsin's Northwoods. In a series of evocative remembrances accompanied by a treasure trove of vintage family photos, Mamminga takes us to Wake Robin, the cabin her grandparents built in 1929 on Big Spider Lake near Hayward, on land adjacent to Moody's Camp. Along the way she preserves the spirit and cultural heritage of a vanishing era, conveying the heart of a place and the community that gathered there.
Bookended by the close of the logging era and the 1970s shift to modern lake homes, condos, and Jet Skis, the 1920s to 1960s period covered in these essays represents the golden age of Northwoods camps and cabins--a time when retreats such as Wake Robin were the essence of simplicity. In "Return to Wake Robin," Mamminga describes the familiar cadre of fishing guides casting their charm, the camaraderie and friendships among resort workers and vacationers, the call of the weekly square dance, the splash announcing a perfectly executed cannonball, the lodge as gathering place. By tracing the history of one resort and cabin, she recalls a time and experience that will resonate with anyone who spent their summers Up North--or wishes they had.

DETROIT - The way the Rev. Al Sharpton sees it, Detroit is the best place to announce his plan to clean up hip-hop music.
After all, the city produced famous Motown legends such as Marvin Gaye, who Sharpton said found a way to talk about love without being disrespectful toward women.
"They did not make women objects of denigration," Sharpton said Saturday outside the Motown Museum.
Sharpton and the Rev. Horace L. Sheffield III, pastor of New Galilee Missionary Baptist Church in Detroit, announced the kickoff of the Decency in Hip Hop Campaign in Detroit. The goal is to remove three offensive words that have become common vernacular of some hip-hop artists.
Organizers plan to roll out the campaign, which was launched last month in New York, in Los Angeles next week. Over the next two months, they hope to collect thousands of bars of soap as symbols of the effort to clean up music. "We know it can be done," Sheffield said.
Sharpton took record companies to task for allowing vulgar words to be used toward blacks while preventing such language to be used against other minority groups. He gave examples of record companies pulling records that used demeaning language toward ethnic groups.
He wants the same tactics used with hip-hop. "They just don't apply these standards to the African-American community," said Sharpton, whose National Action Network is involved in the campaign. "This has gone on long enough."
Brandon White, 24, is involved in the campaign through the U.S. Student Association, a grassroots group that organizes students for causes. White said use of offensive slang hurts women and the black community.
"We need to get these words out of our community," he said.
Sharpton, who led the charge to have radio host Don Imus fired this year over his comments about a group of African-American female athletes, expects a long fight with record companies before they adopt new standards.
"We can't fight Imus outside our community and not fight the syndrome in our own community," he said.

Recently, I wrote a sharepost about a large study that focused on the health benefits of a Mediterranean diet. While the study definitely got my attention about how I eat, not everyone will feel the same way. That's because the large quantity of fish that is part of this particular diet can cause allergic reactions in many people.
After doing a little research, I found that there is a difference in types of allergies related to seafood. For instance, Nemours' KidsHealth reports that a shellfish allergy isn't the same as a seafood allergy because seafood (such as tuna or salmon) and shellfish (such as shrimp or clams) are biologically different. Therefore, you may be allergic to some types of seafood, but not to others.
Shellfish Allergies
There are two different types of shellfish allergies, since there are two different types of shellfish. The first is to crustaceans, which includes shrimp, crab or lobster. The second type of allergy is to mollusks, which includes clams, mussels, oysters and scallops.
This type of allergy can develop at any age. In fact, people who have been able to enjoy shellfish in the past may develop this type of allergy. Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE) points out that approximately 60 percent of people who have this type of allergy experience their first allergic reaction when they are adults. However, most people who develop an allergy to shellfish will not outgrow it later in life, unlike some food allergies which can ease over time.
Furthermore, not everyone is allergic to both types of shellfish. Most allergic reactions are seen when someone who is allergic to a particular type of shellfish eats it. However, some people can have an allergic reaction to just touching a particular type of shellfish or breathing in vapors as the shellfish is cooked.
The reaction to this type of allergy can vary from a mild reaction to a very serious one that includes anaphylaxis that can result in symptoms on the skin or in the gastrointestinal system, the respiratory system or the cardiovascular system. These symptoms can include difficulty breathing, tightness/constriction in the throat, hoarseness, trouble speaking, wheezing, nasal stuffiness, coughing, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, a racing heartbeat or pulse, itchy skin, tingling, redness or swelling. These types of reaction require immediate treatment through administering epinephrine. Therefore, it is important for people who have a shellfish allergy to avoid the type of shellfish that can trigger any type of reaction.
Shellfish sometimes can be found in food, such as Bouillabaisse, cuttlefish ink, glucosamine, fish stock, seafood flavoring and surimi. People who have shellfish allergies should avoid seafood restaurants (due to the possibility of cross-contamination) as well as Asian restaurants, because they often use fish sauce as a flavoring base.
Fish Allergy
People who have this type of allergy may be allergic to a specific type of fish but not to every type of fish. This type of allergy can develop at any age, even if the person has eaten the type of fish before without a reaction. In fact, FARE reports that about 40 percent of people who have this type of allergy actually have their first allergic reaction when they are adults. The most common fish that people are allergic to are salmon, tuna and halibut. Other types of fish that often cause allergic reactions include bass, catfish, cod, flounder, halibut and trout. More than 50 percent of all people who are allergic to one type of fish also will turn out to be allergic to other types of fish. Once they have developed, fish allergies tend to continue for the rest of a person's life. -
Like people who have a shellfish allergy, those who are allergic to fish tend to experience a reaction when eating it. However, some people may have a reaction from touching fish or breathing in the vapors when the fish is being cooked.
People with a fish allergy may have a reaction of their immune system after coming into contact with fish. The symptoms can include wheezing, trouble breathing, coughing, hoarseness, tightening of the throat, stomach ache, vomiting, diarrhea, eyes that are itchy or swollen, hives, red spots, swelling or a drop in blood pressure that can lead to lightheadedness or loss of consciousness. Therefore, if you or someone you know has this type of allergy, it's important to avoid the type of fish that causes an allergic reaction. Also, talk to your doctor about being tested to determine the specific types of fish to which you're allergic.
Make sure that you read food labels to make sure that "fish" is not included in the ingredient list. That's because fish is used in some products that you may not expect, such as Caesar salad dressing, Worcestershire sauce, meatloaf, caponata, Bouillabaisse, imitation or artificial fish or shellfish, and barbecue sauces. Additionally, look for warnings of potential cross-contamination such as statements that say that the food is processed in a facility or on equipment that also processes fish. However, also be warned that manufacturers don't have to include this type of warning on their food products. Therefore, you may want to check with the company to see if a product contains fish.
Furthermore, be careful when you dine out. Ethnic restaurants are considered hi-risk because cuisines such as Chinese, African, Indonesian, Thai and Vietnamese often use fish and fish ingredients.
Seafood Allergy
A seafood allergy means that a person is allergic to both fish and shellfish. Therefore, it is best to avoid coming into contact with the particular offending shellfish or seafood.

Safer and Healthier
Why are people consuming more natural and organic foods? Clearly, the absence of unnecessary chemicals and pesticides in the food and drinks we ingest make them safer and healthier for us. The use of natural and organic personal care products is just as, if not more important than, consuming natural and organic foods. While the body's digestive system is actually designed to filter out impurities, the skin, as the body's largest organ, absorbs 60% of what is put on it, directly into the bloodstream. (SOURCE: GOOD HOUSEKEEPING INSTITUTE) In the United States, the FDA has banned only nine personal care ingredients in the past 67 years, compared with the EU, which has outlawed 450. (SOURCE: ENVIRONMENTAL WORKING GROUP)
Natural is Effective!
Essential oils, for example, primary ingredients in any natural or organic personal care product, are the concentrated, odoriferous derivatives of therapeutic plants produced for their own survival and protection from disease. These precious oils influence the plant's growth and reproduction insuring a long and healthy life. The molecular structure of essential oils is very close to that of the fluids and oils of our skin, accounting for our skin's natural affinity to them. They are readily absorbed and penetrate to the deepest skin layers. Regular use of essential oils in skin care has been proven effective in helping correct problems such as wrinkles, excessive oiliness, dryness, blemishes, and tone. Essential oils have the capacity to promote the elimination of dead cells, regenerate new ones and to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.
Better for the Environment
Organic farming is safer for the environment. It helps to give back to nature by maintaining and replenishing the soil rather than depleting it. Organic farming is better for all of us in the long run. The use of natural ingredients over cheaper synthetic ingredients eliminates the release of hazardous bi-products released into the environment during the production of synthetic chemicals in laboratories and factories around the globe.

An expert on user interface design has called Windows 8 "disappointing" for novices and power users alike.
Jakob Nielsen, principal of the Nielsen Norman Group, studied how a dozen experienced PC users interacted with Windows 8, and the conclusion was not good.
"Windows 8 on mobile devices and tablets is akin to Dr. Jekyll: a tortured soul hoping for redemption," Nielsen wrote. "On a regular PC, Windows 8 is Mr. Hyde: a monster that terrorizes poor office workers and strangles their productivity."
Although the sample sizes of Nielsen's studies are small, he argues that they provide more insight than larger studies focused on metrics. Even if you don't agree with that assertion, Nielsen does make some good points about how the design of Windows 8 needs improvement.
Windows 8's dual nature
Nielsen's main gripe, unsurprisingly, is the dual nature of Windows 8, which combines desktop and touch-friendly environments into a single operating system. Not only is the user interface inconsistent, it also requires users to remember where to go for which features, and to waste time switching between interfaces. Also, when users are running a Web browser in both interfaces, they can only access a subset of their open Web pages at any given time.
But even the Modern-style interface on its own has some major problems in Nielsen's view. He felt that the inability to open multiple windows of a given application creates a "memory overload" for complex tasks, because users have no way to see all the information they've collected. The charms panel, he said, hides generic commands such as search and individual app settings, so they're "out of sight, out of mind," especially for novices.
Nielsen also pointed out a quirk in the Windows 8 settings menu: While most of the options are presented as flat, monochrome icons, the option to change PC settings is shown in plain text, so it "looks more like the label for the icon group than a clickable command."
As a layman, I don't agree with all of Nielsen's assertions. He knocks some Modern-style apps for having "low-information density"--for instance, the Los Angeles Times app, which shows little more than a large image and a headline on its opening screen--but I actually find those sparser layouts to be refreshing. Nielsen points to the Times' website as a better use of space but, in my opinion, it's too cluttered and does nothing to draw the reader in.
Windows 8 frustrations
Still, the study does point out some frustration points that I've noticed on my own. For instance, Nielsen claims that some Live Tiles in Windows 8 are too active for their own good, so it's hard to tell at a glance which apps you're actually looking at. Indeed, it can be frustrating to hunt down a particular app when confronted with a series of thumbnail images, none of which displays the name of their respective apps.
At the end of the report, Nielsen notes that he's not a Microsoft hater--he praises the sometimes-maligned Ribbon of Microsoft's desktop apps--and hopes for a better Windows 9, noting that the company has a history of correcting its mistakes. Also, keep in mind that nitpicking user interface issues is Nielsen's job. He's previously done the same for Apple's iPad and Amazon's Kindle Fire.
Disagree if you like, but I think it's interesting to read a close analysis of the Windows 8 user interface. It's a big change for Windows, and it's obviously going to need some tweaking. Hopefully Microsoft takes some of Nielsen's suggestions to heart.
For more on the Windows 8 interface, check out our report on what several UI experts think.

Spine and Back Health |
Isthmic Spondylolisthesis10/01/2009 |
My daughter has been diagnosed with grade 3 isthmic spondylolisthesis of the L4/L5 vertebrae. Her vertebrae are 3.3 centimeters out of alignment. The neurosurgeon recommends an operation in which, after making two long incisions (anterior and posterior), a spacer is placed between the 2 vertebrae, a bone graft is made anteriorly, and steel rods are inserted posteriorly. After the bone graft heals in about 6 months, the rods are removed.I have 2 questions. How common is this condition and is this the best treatment option? (She is having pain and numbness in her lower back and left leg from the compression of her sciatic nerve.)
Hello, thank you for your question. Isthmic spondylolisthesis refers to a forward slippage of one vertebra (spinal bone) over the one below it. This is not the same thing as a "slipped disc", which is a common layperson term for a herniated disc. The other main type of spondylolisthesis is "degenerative", but in the "isthmic" type there is an actual defect, or break, in the vertebra that allows it to slip.
The usual grading system is from grade 1 to grade 4. Grade 1 is 0-25% slipped forward; grade 2 is 25-50%; grade 3 is 50-75% and grade 4 is 75-100%. This condition is fairly rare to begin with, but grades 3 and 4 make up less than 10% of all cases of isthmic spondylolisthesis, so your daughter's is quite rare based on how badly slipped it is. It is also quite uncommon for such a high-grade slip to be at L4-5. The high-grade ones are usually at the level below that, where the lumbar spine meets the pelvis.
You didn't mention how old your daughter is: child, adolescent, adult? I can't tell you what the best treatment for her would be without examining her and seeing her films. This problem will NOT get better unless it is surgically stabilized, but the specific type of surgery you've described sounds pretty aggressive. I can't tell you whether it is the right choice under these circumstances. If you have doubts, you should get a second opinion, and if she is a child, make sure you are seeing a pediatric spine surgeon. Good luck.

Normanmil Early OriginsThe surname Normanmil was first found in Berwickshire an ancient county of Scotland, presently part of the Scottish Borders Council Area, located in the eastern part of the Borders Region of Scotland, where they held a family seat being descended from John of Normanville in Yvetot in Normandy. Conjecturally, this John was granted lands by King David of Scotland while he was Earl of Huntingdon in England. John de Normanville followed the king and was granted his lands in Berwick in 1124. Normanmil Spelling VariationsNormanmil Spelling Variations Spelling variations of this family name include: Normanville, Normanmile, Normanvill, Normansvill, Normanswell, Normansell, Norvell, Norval, Norvall, Norvill, Norville, Norvel, Norvell, Norvyle, Norwald, Norwell, Norvaile and many more.

MottoMottoThe motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto. Motto: Spem renovant alae Motto Translation: Its wings renew its hope. Normanmil Family Crest ProductsNormanmil Family Crest ProductsSee AlsoSee AlsoCitationsCitationsOther References

Peter Watchorn (Music Director, Harpsichord)
Born: May 30, 1957 - Newcastle, NSW Australia
The Australian music director and harpsichordist, Peter Watchorn, comes from a musical family. Since 1974 he has devoted himself to a detailed study of the harpsichord, its history, repertoire and construction, achieving an international reputation for his consistently high standard of performance. Resident since 1987 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Peter Watchorn has enjoyed an extensive career in both solo and chamber music. In 1985 at the Boston Early Music Festival he was presented with the most prestigious American prize for early music, the Erwin Bodky Award, for his performances of the music of J. S. Bach. From 1985-1992 he studied with the celebrated Viennese harpsichordist, Isolde Ahlgrimm (1914-1995) and has published numerous articles about her life and career, with a full length biography set to appear in 2007 (Ashgate Publishing, London). He was a member of ensembles Concerto Armonico Wien (directed by Peter Matzka) and Concerto Armonico (with Owen Watkins, recorder and Geoffrey Burgess, baroque oboe). He continues in his role of continuo keyboardist and artistic advisor to Publick Musick (directed by Thomas Folan) and from 1995 to 2001, with Julian Wachner co-directed the Boston Bach Ensemble. From 1993 to 2002 Peter Watchorn was a member of the faculty of America's oldest early music program, the Baroque Performance Institute at Oberlin University, Ohio. He holds the Doctor of Musical Arts degree from Boston University which he received in 1995. Peter Watchorn has recorded keyboard works of J. S. Bach for the Hänssler Edition Bachakademie 2000 project. For his own label, Musica Omnia, which he founded in 2000, and for which he serves as producer, he has recorded a number of CDs devoted to Bach and the English Virginalists. He is currently working on the complete Bach solo harpsichord works, and another devoted to the complete works of John Bull.

Movie SummarySamsara (2002)
Description: Indian born filmmaker Pan Nalin makes his directorial debut with this sensual, elegant look at sex and spirituality. Tashi (Shawn Ku) is a gifted young monk who is just completing three years of solitary mediation in the mountains. Sporting long hair and a scraggly beard, Tashi is roused out of his deep mediation and brought back to his monastery by his fellow monks. There he rests up to recover his strength, returning to the usual rigors of monastic life. Though he is highly revered for having attained a profound level of enlightenment, Tashi is surprised to discover the sudden awakening of his own sex drive. While blessing the annual crop, he encounters beautiful peasant girl Pema (Christy Chung) and immediately he falls in love. Arguing that to properly renounce the world he would have to experience it first, he leaves his order and eventually marries Pema. This film was screened at the 2001 Toronto Film Festival.~ Jonathan Crow, All Movie Guide Movie summaries and listings powered by Cinema-Source

Hello all! Just letting everyone know about my new blog on pagan living: livingthepath.blogspot.com/ It's a blog about a modern witch and the journey of walking the path of the sacred everyday. I hope you all find it inspiring or useful in some way :) Happy New Year! Firewielder |
Imhotep, Everyone, I'm 31 almost 32 (I'll be 32 next week on the 16th) and I'm a practicing Egyptian Pagan. I honor and worship Bast, Sekhmet, Hathor, Anubis, and Hathor's husband Horus. Being a public pagan is easy for me as my Wadjet doesn't get any comments from people. I look forward to talking to others here and to find others like me. The only thing that gets me upset is the fact that my mother puts things on my shrine that I don't want. I don't think she takes my path seriously. Oh well, can't wait to move out. Basthathorsekhmet |
Help a grad student out? Hello everyone, I'm a professional psychology graduate student researching the ways in which minority faith (such as Paganism) impacts its practitioners' experiences of mental health services. Here's your chance to say what you've always wished mental health practitioners (e.g. therapists, counselors, social workers, psychiatrists, etc.) knew about you and your faith. If you could take a moment and complete my questionnaire here: www.surveymonkey.com/s/earthfaith , I would be greatly appreciative! Aniblick |
Hi, This is by way of introduction. I'm not a practitioner, but would probably describe myself as panentheist. Solitary. Looking to reinforce and become more aware of my connections to Nature. Thanks for being here. Jule Bassoonbuffoon |

A video showing India skipper MS Dhoni interact with the media following his team's win over Pakistan in the third ODI at Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi.
Dhoni hailed the team effort for notching up the face-saving 10-run win in the low-scoring final ODI of the series.
Coming into the match with the three-match series already out of their grasp, India struggled to score 167 before producing a spirited bowling and fielding display to restrict Pakistan to 157.
Dhoni said that it was a team effort that got India through and especially praised the team's fielding effort. "We saved 20 runs in the field which turned out to be crucial," he said.

And though they trail considerably in the standings to the Rangers and Angels, who are first and second in the AL West respectively, there is a ton of baseball yet to be played.

(bot´&l nek´´) (n.) The delay in transmission of data through the circuits of a computer's microprocessor or over a TCP/IP network. The delay typically occurs when a system's bandwidth cannot support the amount of information being relayed at the speed it is being processed. There are, however, many factors that can create a bottleneck in a system.Bottlenecks affect microprocessor performance by slowing down the flow of information back and forth from the CPU and the memory. If all of the components of a system are not able to feed the same amount of data at the same speed, a delay is created. For example, a 2GB processor will be severely bottlenecked by an 800MB memory bandwidth.
Bottlenecks affect network performance by slowing down the flow of information transmitted across networks. TCP/IP connections were originally designed to transmit only text files, and the proliferation of bandwidth-intensive transmissions such as high-resolution graphics has caused bottlenecks in the process; therefore, the data moves more slowly across networks.
(v.) To delay the tranmission of data through a data path.

thank you very much
I've got the COT EP , and I used to have the 1980 demo tape as well so you can probably find it online. I've downloaded the COT EP last year from some blog. AND Im seriously looking for the West Coast Dukes album the only way to get it is buying it online, haven't found it anywhere, even begged Jack for the songs via Facebook and he said he will email me some when its done but I guess he thought I meant their new album now the one from 2010
do you have a physical copy or a digital version? if it's digital can you please upload the cathedral of tears EP?
Can't friggin' find a torrent for "Into The Valley of Death" by Death By Stereo. I've been trying to track it down for like a year.

I haven't had much luck with mediafire lately, usually I'm able to find an album that I'm looking for, now all links are duds because the file has been removed. Eventually, I just gave up and started using BitTorrent and Piratebay.
Can somebody please upload the collection of all the bad religion b sides and rarities? All the torrents are dead.

The Spies Who Went Out In The Cold
February 1972 | Volume 23, Issue 2
In late February, 1775, three men in what they thought was Yankee farmers' dress, "brown cloaths and reddish handkerchiefs round our necks," boarded the ferry at the foot of Prince Street in Boston, bound for Charlestown, a half mile across the Charles River. At the ferry dock on the Charlestown side one of the "countrymen" dashed forward and muttered something to the redcoat standing sentry (probably "Don't salute, mate!"), for he, like the sentry, was an enlisted man of the 52nd Regiment of the British army; the other two brown-clad figures were officers, Captain William Browne of the 52nd and Ensign [second lieutenant] Henry De Birniere of the 10th. They were bound on a secret mission for Lieutenant General Thomas Gage through what could only be called "enemy country," although fighting had not yet begun. [See "Men of the Revolution— II " in the October, 1971, AMERICAN HERITAGE .]
Gage, who served simultaneously as royal governor of Massachusetts and commander in chief of the British army in North America, had exercised since October, 1774, neither civil nor military control over anything outside of Boston, at that time virtually an island connected to the mainland only by a neck of land about a hundred yards wide. Effective government was in the hands of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress, which was setting about building an army, collecting war materiel, and nullifying the Coercive Acts passed by the British Parliament to punish Massachusetts for the Boston Tea Party.
Gage's situation was humiliating. No courts had functioned in the colony for a year. When the Worcester County court had tried to convene in the fall of 1774, thousands of armed men stopped it, and Gage did not dare send troops to Worcester to protect the court and judges. The "friends of government" (Tories, as they were called by most colonists) were frightened either into silence or out of their homes to army protection in Boston. In the meantime English politicians like the Earl of Sandwich wondered why Gage hesitated to move against such "raw, undisciplined, cowardly men." The Earl told the House of Lords that "the very sound of a cannon would carry them off … as fast as their feet could carry them." But Gage knew better. He had been in America for twenty years and had seen the Americans in action; indeed, Gage knew that he owed his life to the Virginia militia when he, leading the vanguard of General Edward Braddock's ill-fated army, was ambushed by the French and Indians in 1755. Gage had a good little army of some four thousand men in Boston, but he said he needed five times as many to be sure of subduing New England. The British government, however, ridiculed his opinion. The General was well aware that he would have to break out of Boston early in the spring of 1775 or he would soon find himself in involuntary retirement.
Gage saw what he had to do. He had already, in September, 1774, sent a raiding party to Charlestown that seized a large portion of Massachusetts' powder supply. But Charlestown was just across the Charles River from Boston, and although no shots were exchanged, the expedition had barely re-embarked when twenty thousand New Englanders were armed and marching toward Boston. Now Gage's informers told him that large supply dumps had been gathered at Concord, eighteen miles away, and Worcester, forty-seven miles from Boston. They were obvious objectives for the decisive blow Gage knew must soon be struck; for to remain bottled up in Boston, or, worse yet, to mount an unsuccessful offensive, would simply encourage the men Gage was already calling "rebels."
Gage's informers had served him well, for the supplies in Worcester and Concord did exist. What he desperately needed, however, was the kind of information that only trained soldiers could give him: locations of roads, river crossings, fortifiable points; sites for encampments; the availability of provisions; and, above all, ways to avoid ambush. Lieutenant General Gage had not forgotten the hard lesson learned by Lieutenant Colonel Gage on the banks of the Monongahela two decades earlier.
For this reason, on January 8, 1775, Gage asked for volunteers "capable of taking sketches of a Country." Most of the junior officers sent in their names. It is not recorded why the two finally chosen were Captain William Browne of the 52nd and Ensign Henry De Birniere of the 10th. Their regiments had come to Boston from Quebec only at the end of the previous October. Browne, however, had probably served in one of the regiments that occupied Boston from 1768 to 1770, and we know that De Birniere was an excellent map maker—his is the best of the maps of the Battle of Bunker Hill. De Birniere also kept a journal, and it is from his careful account that this story is taken.
The General issued orders to Browne and De Birniere on February 22, 1775, to "go through the counties of Suffolk and Worcester [one hopes Gage knew Middlesex County lay between them], taking a sketch of the country as you pass." He suggested that they pose as surveyors and that many "particulars may be learned of the country people," which would seem to be a bad overestimation of Yankee credulity. Otherwise, Gage's orders show a keen grasp of the need for topographical information.

Bank of America Partners with American Forests: $250,000 Grant to Fund Assessment of Urban Forests and Climate Change in Five U.S. Cities
National conservation organization American Forests announced today that it has received a $250,000 grant from the Bank of America Charitable Foundation to conduct urban forest assessments in five U.S. cities over the next six months. The selected cities are Asbury Park, N.J.; Atlanta, Ga.; Detroit, Mich.; Nashville, Tenn.; and Pasadena, Calif.
It is estimated that urban trees in the lower 48 states remove approximately 784,000 tons of air pollution annually, with a value of $3.8 billion1. Our nation is losing urban forest canopy at a rate of around four million trees a year. With urban forests declining, critical ecosystems that are vital to creating healthy and livable communities are being lost, making assessments and the development of restoration strategies for urban forests imperative.
We have a strong commitment to environmental sustainability, which helps us better support our customers, clients and the communities where we do business, says Cathy Bessant, Bank of Americas Global Technology and Operations executive and chair of the companys Environmental Council. Our partnership with American Forests will help community leaders understand and respond to impacts occurring to the biological infrastructure on which our cities depend.
The urban forest assessments are a key part of the new program that American Forests is launching this year called Community ReLeaf. The assessments will give insight into the overall state of each citys urban forest and the environmental services each provide, such as energy savings and carbon storage, as well as water and air quality benefits.
These assessments will create a credible research foundation for urban forest management and advocacy efforts by quantifying the benefits that each citys trees provide. In turn, the research will help encourage green infrastructure, inform public opinion and public policy regarding urban forests and allow city officials to make informed decisions on the most cost-effective solutions to improving the health, safety and well-being of the citys residents.
The assessments will also help inform strategic tree planting and restoration activities to be conducted by American Forests, Bank of America Community Volunteers and local partners to enhance the benefits and lead to more sustainable communities this fall.
Each project will be slightly different and tailored to the needs of the local community and urban forest. For example, in Asbury Park, N.J., a city that was hit hard by Hurricane Sandy in 2012, the project will help to assess how the urban forest canopy has changed due to the natural disaster and to prioritize and inform future urban restoration to best benefit the local community.
In Atlanta, the project will assess the urban forest around schools to quantify public health and additional benefits that the students receive from the trees planted nearby. The results will provide a baseline to help further efforts to create healthier school environments for youth around the city. With changing climates, it is especially important to better understand the important role our urban forests play in areas where our children spend such a large amount of their time.
As annual temperatures continue to rise and storms and droughts continue to intensify, the health of urban forests is increasingly compromised, says Scott Steen, American Forests CEO. We are delighted to be partnering with Bank of America to help these cities build more resilient urban forests. Bank of Americas commitment and investment will make a real difference for these communities"

About American Forests
American Forests restores and protects urban and rural forests. Founded in 1875, the oldest national nonprofit conservation organization in the country has served as a catalyst for many of the most important milestones in the conservation movement, including the founding of the U.S. Forest Service, the national forest and national park systems and literally thousands of forest ecosystem restoration projects and public education efforts. Since 1990, American Forests has planted more than 44 million trees in forests throughout the U.S. and in 39 countries, resulting in cleaner air and drinking water, restored habitat for wildlife and fish, and the removal of millions of tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Your Disbursement Questions Answered – Part 2
Every month we get dozens of questions from our partners around the world about our disbursement process. Below we've provided answers to frequently asked questions.
How long will it take to receive my disbursement?
GlobalGiving disburses funds at the end of the month after donations are received. So, if a donation is made in January, it will be disbursed at the end of February. Our disbursement team aims to get funds out the door by the 25th of the month, although sometimes it takes a few days less or more.
We are only able to disburse to international organizations after $250 or more has been raised, after GlobalGiving's 15% fee has been applied. This is designed to reduce the overall cost of wire fees and because of the limitations placed on us by FXecute.
Depending on your disbursement method, it can take up to 15 days to receive funds in your account. Here are the maximum delivery times for all 4 disbursement methods:
- ACH: It should take 1-3 business days for funds to reach your account.
- Checks: Checks should arrive within 1-5 days business days after being sent.
- FXecute: It can take up to 2 weeks to receive your disbursement via FXecute, particularly if you are receiving an FXecute disbursement for the first time. Once the disbursement leaves our office there's nothing that we can do to speed up the time it arrives in your account. If your funds are not received within 15 days of disbursement, GlobalGiving will work with you to investigate.
- Wire: It can take up to 2 weeks to receive your disbursement via international wire. Once the disbursement leaves our office there's nothing that we can do to speed up the time it arrives in your account. If your funds are not received within 15 days of disbursement, GlobalGiving will work with you to investigate.
Why do wire transfers and FXecute disbursements take so long?
Unfortunately, once disbursements leave GlobalGiving's account, we don't have very much control over the funds. In the case of FXecute, the company needs to process each individual disbursement, converting funds into local currencies, and disbursing to bank accounts throughout the world. Once the funds reach your bank, your bank needs to credit the money to your account.
As for international wire, the funds are transferred through one or more intermediary banks before reaching your bank overseas. Often the longest delay is with your bank's wire department posting the funds to your account. In both cases, other institutions need to be involved in processing funds before they reach you.
I haven't received any money, where is my disbursement?
Generally, when our partners haven't received a disbursement is it because 1) we did not have all of the information that we needed to properly process the disbursement; 2) your organization did not have any pending donations; or 3) the funds have not reached your account yet. If you have not received your disbursement, please
- Look in the project entry system to make sure that you have pending funds. Remember, GlobalGiving disburses donations the month after they are received. Did you receive donations last month? If you are registered outside of the U.S., have you raised a net amount of $250 or more? How to access the donation manager.
- Verify that the disbursement information that you provided in the project entry system is correct. Take a look to make sure that the bank account name and number are accurate and that you have provided any other required information. If you are using FXecute, GlobalGiving may require additional information depending on the country of your bank account. How to edit your disbursement information in the project entry system.
- Make sure that you have given the funds enough time to reach your account. It can take up to 15 days for a disbursement to reach your bank account. Please see above for more information about the time it takes to receive disbursements.
After you have taken these steps, if you still not received your disbursement, please reach out to us. We would be happy to run a trace on your disbursement to understand why the disbursement has not reached your account.
How will my disbursement appear in my bank account?
Depending on your disbursement method, your disbursement from GlobalGiving may appear as any one of the following:
- ACH: Global Inc. or GlobalGiving
- Wire: GlobalGiving, Global Inc., or International Wire
- FXecute: Global Inc, INTL, or FC Stone
How do I change my disbursement method?
You are welcome to change your organization's disbursement information at anytime via the organization manager in the project entry system. See screen steps here. Always remember to "save and submit."
Please note that GlobalGiving is only able to disburse funds to the bank account of the organization that we have vetted, except for in rare cases when individuals have signed grant agreements.
I did not receive my disbursement report at the same time as my disbursement, why is that?
Disbursement reports are sent a few days after disbursements leave our office. Depending on your organization's disbursement method (check, wire, etc.), you may receive your disbursement report just before or after your disbursement. The reports take additional time to compile and are sent using an external email provider.
There is no way for us to time the report with the arrival of the funds in your account, although we are working on staggering reports based on disbursement method to reduce confusion.
Why doesn't my disbursement report match my donation manager?
Right now, the donation amount indicated on your donation manager in the project entry system is the total gross donation amount for all time. It may differ from the amount that appears on your disbursement report for the following reasons:
- Fees: Currently, fees are not taken into account on the donation manager. Fees can vary by donation. GlobalGiving's standard fee is 15% but we give donors the option to "add-on" the fee to their donation. In addition, GlobalGiving's corporate partners often underwrite some or the entire fee. The fee percentage will be indicated for each donation on your disbursement report.
- Matching funds and bonus awards: Matching funds and bonus awards from GlobalGiving's fundraising campaigns and corporate promotions are not included on your donation manager in the project entry system. These funds are itemized in the disbursement report.
What happens if a donor reverses a donation after I receive my disbursement?
Occasionally, donors will reverse donations made via GlobalGiving after we have disbursed the donation. In these cases, we do not require that our partners return funds to GlobalGiving, but the project does go into a deficit until the reversed donation is made up. For example, if a $50 donation is reversed after the disbursement goes out, GlobalGiving will withhold $50 from the next disbursement.

POTTSVILLE, Pa. — Fire tore through a family's eastern Pennsylvania home on Mother's Day, authorities said, killing four young children, their father, and another relative while their mother was across the street doing laundry at a friend's house.
The blaze broke out around 11:55 p.m. Sunday at the single-family home in Pottsville. Firefighters later found all of the bodies on the third floor of the building, which sits on a steep hillside not far from the D.G. Yuengling & Son brewery, about 90 miles northwest of Philadelphia.
The fire was declared under control shortly before 1 a.m. State police fire marshals were sifting through the debris later Monday morning and authorities were searching for the cause of the blaze, which investigators say began in the kitchen.

Dear Michigander: In response to national threats against our second amendment rights, I have introduced Senate Bill 63 in the Michigan Senate to create the Michigan Firearms Freedom Act. Our citizens have a right to protect themselves in their own homes and communities. Sadly, the proposals announced yesterday by President Obama would do little to address those concerns while weakening our Constitutional right to bear arms. The Firearms Freedom Act, if passed into law, would send a clear message to Washington that the people of Michigan - not the federal government - will decide their own destiny. The act would reaffirm Michigan's right to regulate intrastate commerce, and clarify that firearms, firearm accessories, and ammunition produced, bought, and sold in Michigan will not be subject to federal overreach that would seek to impose new regulations and onerous mandates on states. This is not just a second amendment issue; it is also imperative that we rightfully defend our state's sovereignty as guaranteed in the tenth amendment. Today, I am proud to stand with hardworking, law abiding Michiganders who rightfully own a gun. I hope you will join me in sending a message to the President and Congress that Michigan will defend what belongs to her. Moving forward, we will engage in a serious conversation about real solutions that keep our communities safe without diminishing the integrity of our Constitution. Sincerely, Phil Pavlov State Senator District 25 |

Pew pew!
There's also another. SB 59 I believe. Adding more legislation on top of federal legislation to prevent the distribution of names and addresses of CPL holders and registered gun owners.

Even if this bill passes it is nothing more than symbolic, and IMO, is a waste of resources. As it is, there are no large scale firearms or ammunition manufacturers in the state. Any manufacturers that are in the state (or that could possibly move into the state) would be very unlikely to get all of their materials from other entirely Michigan manufacturers and limit all of their sales to only Michigan retailers who will only sell in Michigan and only to Michigan residents.
The federal Interstate Commerce Clause will still trump this. Politicians should be spending their time doing things that will have an actual impact, but we know that will never happen. |
