Together, we will
Transform the
White House
Together, we will
Transform the
White House
Transgender people, including non-binary and gender non-conforming people, in America have experienced a constant onslaught of hostile actions and dangerous erosion of our rights under the Trump administration. It's time for us to elect a president who cares about trans people, our families, and our allies.
Transform the White House is a project of the NCTE Action Fund.
Trans people are being heard at the highest levels of government. Hear the presidential candidates answer your questions about how they plan to work for the trans community.
Since President Trump took office, his administration has waged a nonstop onslaught against transgender people. They rolled back protections for transgender students. They banned transgender people from the military. They're even trying to roll back protections for transgender people to get health care.
The full list of the Trump administration's attacks against the transgender community is even longer.
But we #WontBeErased. We're fighting back, alongside all of the other people who are under attack by this administration, from immigrants, to Muslims, to women, and so many more of our neighbors.
Enough is enough. President Trump must go. It's time for a new president.
This is a project of the National Center for Transgender Equality Action Fund.

Collaborating to Promote Giving Tuesday
Giving Tuesday, a national day of philanthropy, has grown nationally over the last six years,
but hadn't quite caught on in the Upper Peninsula. After hearing from a number of grassroots organizations that Giving Tuesday needed a U.P. wide coordinator, Grow & Lead pulled together a committee of nonprofit leaders
Grow & Lead developed an information hub, give906.org, that allowed U.P. based nonprofits to post their projects and links. Media all over the region shared information on this site, making it simple for donors interested in learning more about Giving Tuesday to find opportunities in one place.
Additionally, we provided promotional materials and support by sharing organizations 'content on social media, streaming live on Facebook throughout the day and taking photos with 906 balloons.
Through an online survey, $405,440 in local Giving Tuesday donations has been reported so far!
Giving Tuesday isn't the only way we've helped U.P. nonprofit organizations. In 2018, we've assisted 85 organizations with 146 requests for information. Our capacity-building services are available at no-to-low cost, thanks to donations from our communities. If you know a nonprofit in need of assistance, contact us at 906-228-8919.
Sharing Nonprofit Knowledge
Grow & Lead hosted the 2018 U.P. Nonprofit Conference in October. Topics covered at this year's conference focused on leadership in the nonprofit sector. Keynote speaker, DemarraGardner, Principal Consultant at Change Agent Consulting, focused on balancing the head (skills and knowledge) with the heart (emotions) to become a consistent leader.
Chad Mager of Grow & Lead led an activity using case studies that let attendees discuss issues that nonprofits run into routinely and develop a best practice on moving forward.
The U.P. Service Awards were presented to five outstanding individuals and organizations that provide countless volunteer hours to their community. The day closed with a panel discussion on crisis communications.
Support from donors and sponsors helped us keep registration rates low for all attendees and provide seven scholarships to members that needed financial assistance to attend.
Developing Leaders for Tomorrow
Including youth voice in our work with nonprofits will not only guide us as we move forward, but it also helps youth to consider their possibilities. Here is one success story you helped write.
In 2015, Grow & Lead convened adults and youth from across the U.P. wanting to work together for community change. We recently received an update from Alli Sackett, who attended as a high school junior, on the impact that convening had on her trajectory.
When I attended the "Rise U.P. for Youth" convening in Marquette, I never knew it would help me see my future. I learned I had a strong voice and a big heart for helping people. And I left with a new friend, Karen [Karen Wolf, aka Wolfi, is an employee of Grow & Lead]. She was all about getting business done, with a good sense of humor mind you. She helped me and my peers at Ironwood Alternative School to organize our own youth summit at Gogebic Community College and persuade the school administration to have a youth survey done for the Gogebic/Ontonagon School District.
The more I worked with Karen, the more I learned about options for my future and how to have my voice heard. I learned about nonprofit organizations. I knew I would want to be a part of one someday. I began working at Little Caesars after attempting college and I started volunteering every Thursday at DOVE bingo.
DOVEInc. is a nonprofit that provides services for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and so much more for GogebicandIron Counties. After several months of volunteering, I was encouraged to apply for a job opening they had for a Client Advocate. Little did I know that would open so many opportunities for me.
I am now the Lead Advocate/Shelter Coordinator. I oversee advocate duties and assist in the training of new advocates. I provide client support, crisis intervention, safety planning and maintain the stability of the shelter. I'm also responsible for the intake and orientation of residents entering the shelter and assisting residents with exits. I support clients with their decisions and empower individuals to make the right choice for themselves. I am also responsible for maintaining positive communications, resolving interpersonal conflicts, observing safety, health and sanitation code.
Being able to empower and encourage clients to make their own decisions and being proud of their own choices is one of the most rewarding opportunities in my job. Working at DOVE Inc. is a blessing. I truly do love my job.
Honoring Outstanding Students
In April, Grow & Lead was honored to recognize 48 area high school seniors for their academic achievement. Each student received a $1,500 scholarship at the 25th annual Excellence in Education Week program. In addition, $500 professional development awards were presented to 25 Marquette and Alger county educators to further academic training or enhance classroom activities.
"Since this program started in 1994, we've been fortunate to work with schools, businesses, foundations and individuals in Marquette and Alger counties to recognize students, their families and their teachers for the culmination of their hard work." – Amy Quinn, CEO, Grow & Lead

We had three children who did the trip to Palestine with us. Archie aged 9 was asked for school to do a little write up about his trip so I thought it would be interesting to ask the other children too, Emily and Ameen, both aged 12.
Obviously, what they knew about the situation out there was far removed from what we had learned and their experiences were different to ours, but it was interesting seeing the trip through the eyes of a child.
All three reports are written entirely by the children without any adult intervention (although Emily's I did cut down a little as it was very long.)
Thanks guys I think your parents will be very proud of you and I most certainly am for the way you were in Palestine. These three children learnt so much and were brilliant and were a valuable asset to us all there.
Hello I'm Archie and I'm 9 yrs old. I went on holiday with my mum and her friends to Palestine.
When we went through the Israeli checkpoint to get into Palestine it took a long time- I was hot and bothered and it was boring.When we all went out somewhere we saw lots of soldiers with guns but I wasn't scared of them because I didn't think they would hurt me because i'm a child. Some of the soldiers seemed nice and said thank you and smiled when the looked at my passport.I think they looked at my passport because it was their job.
The wall is massive with awesome graffiti but I was so shocked how big it was, it would of been really ugly without the Graffiti.It's stupid to put it there.
I wasn't really bothered about seeing where baby Jesus was born because I don't believe in him but I had to go! When we went to Jerusalem Jewish religious men with stupid hats on walked past us really fast. They looked stupid and got in our way.
Some of the women at the airport covered all their faces up and it looked weird and they looked like burglars with balaclavas on- i didn't like it.
The village Beit Kahil we stayed in was really fun.I liked playing with the kids and i made lots of friends. When we left I was sad because I had to leave my freinds behind.
I didn't like the food in Palestine it was horrible but it was ok if we went on a bus to eat kebabs. They have separate girls and boys schools – I wish we had them because I don't like girls.
I want to go back to Palestine to see my friends but not when it's too hot.
Ameen aged 12.
My Trip To Palestine was one of the best holidays of my life because it was fun and educational at the same time. I went to some amazing places like the dome of the rock , Al-Asqa mosque and the dead sea which was the 2nd best trip in my time in Palestine.
my best moment was when we went to yaffa because when we took Majid (disabled 11 year old) and took him to to the sea.It was his first time to the sea it was first time to the sea and he is about the same age as me and the look on his face was unbeatable.i think the occupation is horrible because the Palestinians deserve to live like us normal people and they deserve to go to places like yaffa and the dead sea but they can't because the israeli checkpoint make it impossible to move around their own country.
that was my first time in Palestine and it was brillant so i can,t wait to go again.
My name is Emily, I am 12 and in the summer holidays I went to Palestine. At first I had no idea what I had let myself in for, I thought it would be a place where I would meet people who are less fortunate than ourselves and I could educate them in basic subjects (counting to 20,singing songs, learning the alphabet etc), but when I arrived there, it was completely different…
We got to the border and there were giant queues, where Muslim people were being taken away for questioning or searching. Some people in our group were questioned for example; one of the ladies called Lisa was asked where she was going, who she was travelling with and why she was going. And another lady called Jo was asked where she was from because she had brown hair and Italian looking eyes., (the women were more aggresive than the men) When Jo was asked what her father and grandfathers names were, Jo stumbled a bit, but she said the names, and the woman behind the desk said "You weren't very quick to answer there!" she had only a few seconds to answer and she was under a lot of pressure.
Fast forward a few hours and we arrived at Beit Kahil, a village in Palestine with a population of six thousand people. As I got out of the minibus, a mass of small children ran up to me and we were led down to our house. The next day we got a taxi to Hebron, a town about ten minutes away to see the old shops that had been destroyed and boarded up by the Israeli soldiers. There was a hairdressers that had bullet holes in, the doors had metal bars welded to them to stop people getting back in. The windows were smashed and there was rubbish everywhere, it looked like a scene from a natural disaster movie. It was sad when I saw children who lived above the damaged shops, looking out the windows at us walking by. The worst part about that day was seeing a soldier with a machine gun longer than my arm, someone from our group started chatting to him. He was twenty one years old and I started crying because I heard him click his gun and I had to walk away. It frightened me. People think that it's just a gun, but when you're two meters away from one, it's scary.
I also went to the Wailing Wall, the main place of worship for Jews. It was a Friday which is the special day for prayer and I felt very uneasy. It seemed as if they were brainwashed into praying. We were in the women's section but I did have a peek over the separator to see the men dancing and singing. Some people were rocking back and forth and some were swaying, I stood next to a woman who was crying into her Torah. I also saw little notes inside the wall, they were scrolls with prayers on them, after a certain amount of time, they burn the notes so the prayers go to their God.
I caught a glimpse of the Dome of the Rock, but I wasn't allowed in because I'm not Muslim, it looked very pretty from where I was standing though.
Back in the alley, we were taken down to a very poor house. To get to it, you had to climb down rocks and it was really dusty, the children who lived there saw us at the door and we had to wait a few minutes for them to open the lock which was a piece of string wrapped round. When we got in, we saw a double bed mattress, that was so dirty you wouldn't put a dog on it. The mattress had to fit eight children and a mum on, there was no duvet or pillows, no carpet, no cooker or lights. This was so bad, and we had to do something about it. So we got some buckets of paint donated to us from the local restaurant, and we painted the small kitchen, front hall, and two large rooms used for the bedroom and living room. It completely changed the look of the house, and I got covered in paint too! The next day I went with my mum and two of the other ladies to the shops to buy some clothes and toys for the children and they were so happy when we gave them to them. We washed the children using solar showers and put them in their new clothes and they loved it (apart from the baby who cried all the way through). I made lots of friends in Palestine, I hope to go again and see them, Ahmed (Ronaldo <3) Layla, Usef, Mays, Rafika, Mohammed (x5), Maged Abid, Basil, Renna, and Faisar. There were so many children there I cant remember all their names, but those are the ones I can remember because they were my favourite.

Easy Seville Marmalade
Makes about 3 quarts
2 pounds Seville oranges (or Texas red grapefruit)
3½ cups packed dark brown sugar
5 cups sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
Instructions: Wash fruit thoroughly, then remove the knobby bits from the ends and cut each in half. Thoroughly juice the fruit. Discard the seeds and pour the juice into a large bowl. Cut the juiced halved oranges in half again and remove any remaining seeds. In batches, put the quarters into a food processor and process until finely chopped. Add the chopped flesh, peel and pith to the juice in the bowl and pour in 2½ quarts of cold water. Stir, cover and leave to macerate overnight.
The next day, transfer everything into a large pan and bring to a boil. Once at boiling point, reduce the heat and simmer for another 1½ hours, or until the peel is soft.
Add the sugars and lemon juice and stir over the heat until the sugar has dissolved. Increase the heat to bring the liquid to a rolling boil. Do not stir the marmalade from this point on. Let boil for about 20 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat, leave to stand for 10 minutes, then ladle the marmalade or pour it from a pitcher, into sterilized jars and seal.

Indianapolis, IN (May 18, 2016) – Conor Daly and Dale Coyne Racing are teaming up with Indianapolis Colts star player Pat McAfee for this year's 100th Running of the Indianapolis 500. McAfee's company ShirtsForAmerica.com joining as primary sponsor on the American-themed #18 car driven by Daly.
McAfee's recently launched ShirtsForAmerica.com company was born from two ideas. One, to help an Indiana driver at this year's Indy 500 and the other, to help two military foundations.
For each t-shirt sold, a portion of the proceeds will go to Wish For Our Heroes, which was founded by American veterans to help struggling veterans with every day situations they face off the battlefield and to The Pat McAfee Foundation. Now in its fourth year, the Pat McAfee Foundation has given more than $150 000 in scholarships to children of military families.
"Conor and I have been friends for a while now and I couldn't wait to hear his thoughts about the 100th running of The Greatest Spectacle in Racing and how magical the Indy 500 is," shared McAfee who is also a stand-up comedian. "Conor, being a kid from Indiana, started talking about how fantastic it is for Indiana that all of these awesome things are going to happen, how the entire world's eyes turn to Indiana, and how every year we knock it out of the park.
While we chatted about how lucky we were to be Hoosiers, he told me that he didn't have a primary sponsor yet for the race. I didn't believe him at first but then I saw it as an opportunity not only to help an Indianapolis kid run in the 100th Running of the Indianapolis 500, but also, as a chance to raise money for a couple of military foundations. So I created ShirtsForAmerica.com and sponsored his car. When we're chugging milk in Victory Lane Memorial Day weekend, we'll do it with some true fulfillment knowing that we're also helping American heroes.
"Pat's a tremendous American and to have this opportunity to work together is fantastic," expressed Daly. "I'm proud to represent ShirtsForAmerica.com on track as we raise money to help American Veterans. A passionate American Hoosier myself, I can't wait to pilot our red white and blue #18 machine in the 100th Running of the Indianapolis 500. We are going to give it everything we've got this month and I can't thank Pat enough for wanting to come onboard to make this happen." "We're very excited to partner with Pat McAfee and ShirtsForAmerica.com in the 100th Running of the Indianapolis 500," added Team Owner Dale Coyne. "The story behind Pat's company is what being American is all about with helping and giving back to others. Promoting his ShirtsForAmerica.com brand at the biggest single-day sporting event in the world that also happens to take place on Memorial Day weekend is only fitting. We're proud to see our #18 car sporting the American colors at this historic race."
McAfee spoke at length: "Today is a gigantic day in history. Jot this one down in the books. This morning started out normal, but when I go to sleep tonight, nothing will be the same. This morning when I woke up, I had a huge piece of apple pie. That's what Dale Coyne and I do. Conor couldn't do it, because he's got practice, but I chugged a nice, tall Budweiser. Took a shower and brushed my teeth with freedom. What we are doing here today is to announce that good friend of mine Conor Daly, Dale Coyne and I have teamed up for the 100th Running of the Indy 500. Hootie (Darius Rucker) is going to sing the National Anthem. Celebrities will be flocking in from all over the world. In a suite somewhere, who's going to be pulling hard for Conor Daly is myself, my team, and ShirtsForAmerica.com, which is a business that just started, literally, three days ago. This is an exciting time for Conor, myself and Dale seems really elated. I just gave him a check. This is going to be a fun thing. On a serious note, Conor Daly and I have been friends for a while. We've had cocktails together. We've chit-chatted about life together. I've beaten him in Mario Kart. And I found that to be a pretty stupendous thing. We went go-kart racing, and I did not beat him. (More on next page).Then I came out to the track last week and watched an Indianapolis kid, and Indiana kid lead 14 laps in the Angie's List Grand Prix, right here at the majestic Indianapolis Motor Speedway. (More on next page). When I started chatting with him about who his primary sponsor was for the Indy 500, he told me he didn't have one yet. Myself and my team saw this as an opportunity not only to get an Indianapolis kid in the 100th Indy 500 but a chance to raise some money for some military foundations as well. ShirtsForAmerica.com was created under the premise that we're going to get this kid in the race to win. We're going to celebrate in Victory Lane by chugging 10 bottles of milk and we're going to raise money for military foundations by doing so. I'm so excited for today to happen and I can't wait for the race to start." (About the car's livery): "I don't know if you've seen the mockup of the car, but if you're from Maine. If you're from Florida or from Southern California or the northern tip of Washington and all the towns in between. If you're a kid, or an adult or the elderly this is a majestic American vehicle that you're going to be pulling for start to finish for all 500 miles. To be honest, Babe Ruth called his shot. Broadway Joe (Namath) called his shot. This is me, putting my money on the guy that I'm guaranteeing a win for. That may be a lot pressure for Conor, but I really don't give a damn. I don't have to drive a car. I'm excited. I think Conor is an incredible talent. Anyone who knows driving knows he's an incredible talent. This is an incredible opportunity that could happen. And although I beat him in Mario Kart, he's going to win the Indy 500 and you can quote it." (About his appreciation for IMS and Indy car racing): "When you come to Indiana… I was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where Indy car is not large. As soon as you get to Indiana, you learn about the deep tradition of racing. My first year, I was in the Snake Pit. I didn't see many cars, Dale. Dale, I had no idea you even existed, to be honest. As the years past, I continued to grow in my respect for racing. I got a chace to meet these guys. It was two years ago, I got to sit in Turn 1 and actually got a chance to watch the action and found out quickly why people love this sport. The people at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway are nothing but class. A first-class organization and I've been nothing but lucky to be associated with these people."
Conor Daly stated: "This is really cool for us. Our program is obviously for the full season, but we had a gap here at the 500 that we had to fill. It's been really difficult to put the full program together. Pat came on board and this is a really cool idea. It's a really cool thing that he's created. I think to raise money for veterans and military families is what the whole race weekend – the Indianapolis 500 race weekend – is all about. I'm a proud American. Pat is a tremendous American and we're going to have a great time representing America for this whole month. I can't thank him enough for coming on board."
Dale Coyne, owner of Coyne Racing added: "We're very happy with the whole program. It's kind of cause marketing and three of our four cars are doing that with the Komen car for breast cancer, the Boy Scouts car and this one for veterans. It's a fantastic thing for us."
The #18 car has shed its white, green and black livery for the red, white and blue. The American flag will be featured on the nose as well as on the shark fin, with the ShirtsForAmerica.com logo placed prominently on the side pods.
The all-American #18 ShirtsForAmerica.com machine will make its first public appearance on Thursday, May 19 during the Noon to 6pm practice session.
Qualifying for the Indianapolis 500 takes place this weekend, May 21st and 22nd with the Greatest Spectacle in Racing going green on May 29th. The race will be broadcast live on ABC starting at 11am ET.

Company Hockey Time!
Maus now works at a company with a lot of people at it. Almost all of them are women in Maus' team, but there are a lot of people. I joke with him that he is now part of Corporate America, but it's all good. As part of the holiday season his company hosted a gathering in the Budweiser Event Center, also hosted by Budweiser, with free tickets to a hockey game. Now, I've never been to a hockey game (never really had the inclination) so I was interested to see what it was like. Maus told me his previous boyfriend Blackpaw had taken him to a Hockey game once, so he kind of knew how it was. We parked, and approached the center:
There was a dinner first, which was really nice, it was under the seats in a way. There were hamburgers, potato salad, and desserts. Funny enough, I asked what they had on tap and the bar tender looked at me like, "Really?" Obviously, only Budweiser, Lite to boot. Blech! But what was more interesting (besides the wonderful desserts, nom nom nom) was that we hung out with Maus' supervisor. It was interesting to me to see this person and interact with them. She was an older lady, and I noticed that her and Maus were much more talkative, while her husband and me were more quiet. We regaled her with stories from our lives, and unfortunately I didn't get a lot of opportunity to learn more about her. But… I made sure I ate properly with my fork, I mean, proper manners right?
I met the Human Resources woman, but, I can't remember her name… sorry. Anyways, apparently Maus has really built up my baking skills to the ladies. I was hoping that whatever I might bake will live up to their expectations, it's a little stressful when you've been built up. I told her about the Margarita Bundt Cake I made for Maus' voice teacher the Enlightener. She asked, "So the tequila and triple sec get baked out of the cake?"
I affirmed this, but I also said that the liquor was also in the frosting not baked out. She determined that this would be illegal to serve in the office, BUT, she said "in all seriousness" that she'd give her address to Maus and that I should make and deliver a Margarita Bundt Cake to her. If we can get her address, I just might actually do that! Sometimes, you just have to take a step that you wouldn't otherwise think of. It's kind of like that bum on the corner that had the sign "Bum on vacation, need beer!" I ALMOST went out to the liquor store and got some beer to give it to him. I really should've done it now that I look back on it, that would've been REALLY interesting.
Then it was time to go to the hockey game. We traveled all around to get to our seats in section B. There were people at the entrances that stopped people from entering as long as the game was in session. I almost got stuck behind one while Maus made it through, so he waited for me. They weren't bad seats, we were pretty close to the action:
The thing I found entertaining about the hockey game wasn't necessarily the hockey itself, although that was interesting too. I could see how people could really become spectators of this sport, watching people battle each other and stuff. I really don't know anything about hockey, so that part of it was lost on me. The thing I found entertaining was everything surrounding the hockey game. There was a big screen, and loud music that would play once in a while. There was also this guy that looked actually quite intimidating (angry all the time) that would dance and cheer, which sounds innocent enough, but you had to see this guy, and then throw shirts out to people. I have no idea how he stored so many shirts on him, maybe he restocked? I wonder if he was paid or if he was a fan.
The best mini-break music was when they played Du Hast from Rammstein (Du hast – Rammstein). Nothing like the hard guitar 'riffs'(?) echoing through the entire center. I'm a Rammstein fan, as you can guess from some of my affiliate links to the side.
During the in-betweens there were little flying balloon drones sponsored by Otterbox and something else, some insurance company. You could tell which pilot was the most experienced. The insurance zephyr did loop-de-loops and everything, just staying out of reach of the crowd. Pretty nifty!
The best thing was the battle for the 'execucar' (it makes me think of Manolito in Mafalda, always marking up everything as 'ejective'). That's the car below. What they did was dressed people up in these giant foam sumo suits and then position them in front of a ball. The idea was that they'd push the ball to the other side of the center to win the car, two out of three. Obviously it was very hard to run in those suits and on the ice, and there was much falling over to much hilarity. I caught that part on camera actually:
Unfortunately, I did not get a video of the procession, which I should've TOTALLY done. Wow, I just thought about that, that would've been a perfect video! Ah well.
After all the excitement between the period(s) the game once again commenced. What was funny was that these total babes would come out and shovel excess 'snow' off the ice between 'matches'. They were dressed up very flashy and provocatively. I leaned towards Maus and said, "I'm so triggered by this." He laughed. I didn't catch much else on camera either unfortunately. I really should've stepped up the camera game man! So the rest of the game played out normally:
The one thing I wondered about was the goalies. They could make this T shape with their legs. There were blocks on their legs so that they'd form kind of like a snow-plow that would block the puck. I can't imagine standing like that, I wonder if the equipment helps. For whatever reason, that stuck with me.
Maus took a picture of us at the game (OMG a selfie! Noooo!) and sent it off to our mutual friend. It was a fun time, but I don't know if I'd go to another hockey game on my own.

I realized as I was cleaning up the big mess of gluey flour and smushed blueberries on my countertop, that I should have taken a picture of the effort it took to make these scones.
That's the trouble with Pinterest (or maybe all the cooking sites/blogs)….it all looks so perfect and pretty and yummy. You usually don't see much of the "this is how the making went" photos. Or when you do they are always pretty and orderly. Not the chaos that was three bowls, beaters, measuring spoons, a nearly empty bag of flour and other sundry utensils. Oh, and the flour-y, blueberry-ish hands and the gluey-flour-y counter.
Still, I am hoping it will be worth it — the scones are baking as I type.
The impetus for the scones was that a couple of weeks ago a guy Terry knows gave him a half flat of fresh-from-the-field Oregon blueberries. Big. Plump. Sweet. Blueberries. So, I froze them in four bags and have been dying to make something with them. Since the heat abated today, I decided to do it tonight. I had to decide between scones and blueberry boy bait, which are both on the same site: http://lepetitbrioche.blogspot.com/2011/07/blueberry-scones.html But I decided to try the "boy bait" another day and go for the scones.
And, I don't know but it all just kind of got away from me as I was making it. The blogger said use your Kitchen Aid stand mixer. Ha ha. I don't have one. I have my trusty 1976 avocado green Sunbeam mixer whose cord always wants to come out of the socket mid mix; but it's what I have been using lo these nearly four decades. So, the mixing didn't perhaps progress as it might have had I had the Kitchen Aid stand mixer. Hence, I ended up trying to make the frozen blueberries stay in the dough (four rolled onto the floor where Emma took a curious sniff and walked away) and then add more flour to the counter (with doughy hands) and pull the rolling pin out of the cupboard.
Rolling the dough out was another bit of a trick. The frozen blueberries kept popping out like slick marbles and the amount of flour I'd managed to sprinkle on the counter was not enough to keep it all from sticking.
Nevertheless, I persevered and ultimately got my eight scones ready to bake ("All that for eight scones?", is what I was thinking). They looked pretty good on the cookie sheet, so I guess in the end that's what counts. Oh and how they taste….we'll know about that shortly. [Verdict: they taste good! Worth the effort.]

Updation History
1. Newest Updation: On December 2nd, 2019, We updated the case to X825-C6:
2. At October 2019, we updated the case basic in the X825-C2, and call it X825-C3.
This is a metal case with power control switch and super mute cooling fan which is designed for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B with X825 2.5 inch SATA HDD/SSD storage board, it is a perfect choice for X825 V1.5 SSD/HDD storage board user. It also support to install the X735 Auto Cooling & safe shutdown board over Raspberry Pi. We call it honeycomb chassis.
Note: Because we found that USB 3.0 high-speed transmission will interfere with the Raspberry Pi's 2.4G wifi signal. So if you find the 2.4G signal is unstable, please try to use WIFI 5G AP. (Please refer to: www.raspberrypiwiki.com/index.php/X825#Document)
We think this is caused by the unreliability of the Raspberry Pi's wifi design. If the Raspberry Pi Foundation reserves the SMA IPEX antenna interface, everything will become easier. We will also struggle to solve this issue in the future.

Summer time is here! Tariff news have been relentless lately and the stock market is behaving as expected. We are riding big hills up and we are experiencing deep dives down. Time to check out my dividend stock watch list.
Dividend stock watch list
Here is what the market did in the last 30 days, from the screen shot below:
The market went down 6.6%+ during the month of May! I am sure we were all happy to see the downturn happen in May, opening up more opportunities to deploy our hard earned and saved capital. Not only has it dropped, but it was a complete MUDSLIDE on May 31st, to say the least. Who is buying baby?! This watch list has tweaks and is slightly different and showcases dividend powerhouses, that's for certain.
It takes patience. It also takes sticking to your strategy. Further, using our Dividend Diplomat Stock Screener, helps identify those opportunities. It also scopes out those that aren't undervalued.
See – Dividend Diplomat Stock Screener
Let's get the party started with a divdiend aristocrat, with 3M (MMM). They are currently pushing over 61 straight years of consecutive dividend increases, a feat that is not held by many, but the damn tape dispenser company is doing it. We know the brands, scotch tape, scotch brite sponges and not to mention all of the air filters for your HVAC system. However, they are much more than that, considering they are 95+ BILLION dollar company.
The forward earnings expectations is $9.52, producing a price to earnings ratio of 17.4. Further, their yield is at 3.47% with a very pleasing dividend growth rate of 5.9%. MMM's payout ratio looks even better at 60%. This dividend powerhouse will be able to increase dividends going forward, no doubt. I would be interested in buying once the yield gets closer to 3.60%. It's no surprise why it's one of Bert's 5 ALWAYS buy stocks.
See – Bert's Five "Always Buy" Stocks
United Parcel Services (UPS)
Online shopping and delivery is almost as common as brushing your teeth twice per day. United Parcel Services (UPS) has been loving it, right? Further, UPS is a beast of a company. They have a market capitalization over 80 BILLION and are yielding over 4%, as their stock price has teetered below $96.00 per share. They are going on 10 years of consecutive increases, damn you financial crisis, and I anticipate that streak to continue.
The forward earnings expectations is $7.46 and their Price to Earnings is below 13, at 12.87. They are currently yielding ~4.00% and the recent dividend increase stood at 5.50%. Therefore, the combination is getting close to 10%, a spot that I love! I would anticipate at least a 5%+ dividend growth rate going forward, as the payout ratio is still solid at 51%, boom. Looking forward to adding more at the current price levels of $96 and below.
See – The Power of the Dividend Growth Rate is Real
Leggett & Platt (LEG)
What's not to love about another dividend aristocrat in the mix. They have been paying dividends for over 45+ years and are now yielding over 4.35%, based on price activity during May 23rd. Leggett & Platt (LEG) is in almost every bedding product and they also are in quite a bit of product for the automotive industry. They've been through all economic cycles and one has to like that type of experience for a company.
The forward earnings expectations is $2.47 and their Price to Earnings is below 15, at 14.88. They are rocking a 4.35% dividend yield and the recent dividend increase was at 5.26%. However, I believe that dividend growth rate will be the same, if not less, for a few years. The reason being, the payout ratio is over 60%, which we try to stay away from.
I would be interested in them in the $35 range. For a more full analysis, I wrote a piece on them on Seeking Alpha.
See – Leggett & Platt, Inc.: A Dividend Stock To Help You Sleep At Night
Dividend Stock Watch List Conclusion
I currently only own 2 of the 3, as I do not own 3M (MMM). However, any dividend aristocrat has a spot in my portfolio when they pass through the Diplomat screening metrics!
Ready to invest? There are ripe opportunities out there. Save your cash and get ready for deployment. As always, good luck and happy investing everyone!

What to do if...
You have a clash in your timetable
If there is a timetable clash (and you're confident you can miss a session on the other course that you're enrolled in) you can contact the course administrator and ask to have this overridden.
You can find the course but it won't let you book
If you can find the course but it doesn't let you book a space, this might be because it's only open to students from a particular College. For example, each of the four Graduate Schools runs their own academic writing course.
You can't find the course on MyCampus
First, try a different keyword search. If your course handbook contains the course code (e.g. RSDC & 6025 - RSDC is the Subject Area, and 6025 is the Catalogue Number) you can also use this to search. If this doesn't work, this might mean that the course is not available for booking through MyCampus and you need to email someone to register (normally because additional information is needed for you to apply for a place). This will be highlighted on these web pages or in your Graduate School's course handbook.
Please see below for the best format for searching.
You get an error message
If you are getting an error message, please take a screenshot and log an IT helpdesk call, describing the problem.
Cancel your place on a course
If you need to cancel your place, please give as much notice as possible so we can ensure your place is allocated to another student.
Except in the case of illness or emergency, we require (at minimum) 2 working days notice. We would prefer at least two weeks!
Failure to provide this minimum notice will result in your student record showing non-attendance and your School/Supervisor will be informed as part of the annual progress review.
To cancel your place on a course via MyCampus:
- Use this guide to complete the steps below: Dropping a Class.
- Select the 'drop courses' tab.
- Select the course(s) you wish to drop.
- Click 'Drop Selected Courses' then click 'Finish Dropping'.
In case of illness or emergency, you should register this via the My Absence function on MyCampus. This will then be recorded as an absence on your student record.
Joining a course waitlist
If the course is full, please join the waiting list so we know there is demand and we will try to accommodate it. If you are based somewhere other than Glasgow and only attend the main campus for certain parts of the year, please get in touch with the course administrator and we'll see if we can help you book onto courses during that specific period.
To join a course waitlist, log onto MyCampus and complete the following steps: Enrolment on a Waiting List
How do I know if I've been moved from the waiting list to 'attending'?
We often have cancellations in the week leading up to the course. If this is the case, you will automatically be moved to the attending list and will receive a confirmation email that evening (with a list of all the courses that you are booked onto). The course will also be confirmed in your timetable, i.e. your status is updated from 'waiting' to enrolled.
You will get a reminder the Friday before the course. However, if you were added to the waiting list at the start of the week and the course is later that week, you won't get a reminder. If you no longer wish to attend, you will need to cancel ('drop') the course, as described above.
How do I know if a course is for me?
First, take a look at the individual course descriptions and web pages below. These often have quotes and feedback from other researchers, or additional information. If you don't find what you are looking for or aren't sure if a course is for you then please get in touch.
We try not to send too many emails and use the Researcher Development Blog and Twitter (@researchdreams) to share news, resources or events taking place here or elsewhere which might be useful for PG research students.

The Domestic Anarchist here! posts have been few and far between, dealing with maternal health issues (my mom was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a masectomy a few weeks ago), and some marital bumps (valentines day was a complete fiasco, but we got a do-over the following weekend, hurrah for sushi!), but I've still been studying life and parenting as I always do, and noticing things in my interactions with my children.
so. Reactions vrs. responses.
when our child demonstrates any kind of behavior, we can A. react to it, or B. respond to it.
to refer to my trusty dictionary.com
a reaction is: "a reverse movement or tendency; an action in a reverse direction or manner"
alternately, a response is defined as "an answer or reply, as in words or in some action."
we react to situations, and respond to people. a reaction is instinctive, mechanical, immediate, based on what's going on with us. a response is calculated, considered and evaluated, based on what's going on with the other person. as examples, I give you two instances from my week.
1. The Squid, while playing on the floor, got into clean, folded laundry, and pulled out a bunch onto the floor. I could have
a. reacted to the situation. I was trying to clean the house, and folding the laundry was one of the few things that had been completed. "oh my god, what are you doing?! get out of that! I can't get anything done with you getting into everything!"
b. responded to my child. she is crawling very early, and exploring and learning. obviously she doesn't understand the difference between folded laundry or piled laundry, or even the difference between clean and dirty. "oh, wow, look what you've found! let's find something else for you to explore."
in this instance I chose b. I responded to my child instead of reacting to the situation. I put away my frustration at least til The Husband got home, and I could vent to him. I made my child the priority.
responding to babies is much easier than children sometimes, since babies haven't learned to hide their feelings. children are already learning different ways to communicate. The Wizard, when he feels nervous, ashamed or confronted, tends to first try and alleviate things through humor, joking and distraction. he does realize when things are serious, he just prefers to pretend that they're not, because it's less stressful.
2. I opened The Wizards backpack in the morning and realized he hadn't done his homework while he'd been with his dad. my choices:
a. react to the situation. we didn't have time do get anything done before the bus came, and I was stressed about all the extra work. "dude! this is rediculous. did you do ANY of it?"
b. respond to my child. "you've got extra homework. let's think of a way to make it fun so you don't get frustrated with it."
this time, sadly, I chose a. my reaction led to a reaction from him, which was to deflect by acting like it was no big deal. I reacted by stressing to him the importance of school, and telling him to tell his teacher he'd bring some in the next day. he deflected by saying "if I remember". I took this as being a smart-ass. and reacted with "that's not acceptable! you're going to do it if it takes all night." at which, he started crying, saying he didn't want to go to school. so once again I reacted, this time not to just the discomfort of my sons tears, but the sound of the encroaching bus, which was picking up kids one street over. so, voila, in an effort to stop the tears, and keep my son from missing school. "oh, I'm so sorry, it's not your fault. don't worry about it. if you go to school you can have a big bowl of ice cream when you get home!" …oh lord.
it's amazing the things that come out when we're reacting to circumstance and situation, instead of responding to our kids. during the day while he was at school, though, I did have an opportunity to think on things. I went to our local game store, which remarkably has free three-day rentals of certain games, found one that The Wizard would like (which is amazing, and is going to make it on as my first video game review), and made up a sticker chart. each extra piece of homework, earned him 15 mins of video game time. I also called his teacher, forewarned her that she had a bit of an emotional crisis entering her classroom, and asked her to not mention homework to him.
so, in closing, just because we react, does not remove our ability to respond. everyone reacts. it's impulsive. it's our ability to step back and examine the true issues, and respond to our children, which makes us good parents.

light leaks on your photos using photoshop! While I love that technique, I've found another way to do it and I love it much more! Take a look at a few examples below! It adds such a pretty vintage touch!
Its easy peasy! And for those of you who I'm sure will ask, I'm using photoshop elements!
Step One: Open up the image you want to use! (easy enough right?!)
Step Two: Use your smart brush tool, with the sepia duotone preset selected.
Step Three: Paint all over your picture, until it is totally covered in the sepia effect
Step Four: Next change the style of that sepia layer to hard light.
Step Five: Select your eraser tool, using a soft brush on about 82% opacity, still on the sepia layer and erase the areas that you don't want to have a light leak!
Voila, super easy and really pretty and vintagey! I've found for some images I don't even need to erase anything since the effect is still really pretty! :) Have fun!

This is not the first time I talk to entrepreneurs, the successful ones that has sold businesses and made tons of money, and he made me felt small.
So small - I am not being emo here again, just sharing my thoughts.
It made me felt that no more time should be wasted - Thus, next month things will restart and I hope more good things will come along!
We also had a chat about what I am doing here on this blog and Fundamental Scorecard. The conclusion - its a hard way (Probably the worse) to make money!
Nonetheless, since I have already been on this journey, I decided I should probably give myself another 2 years - Before I decide to go back and just focus on the corporate ladder and the rat race.
My Current Portfolio
I have made changes to my portfolio due to the events in the last few months and what I felt could be much more drastic ahead.
1. Still a concentrated portfolio in terms of position sizing, but a diversified one in terms of number of companies.
2. More allocation for my overseas portfolio, mainly HK and US companies, increasing from 20% to 30%.
Without Further ado... Here it is!
SG Listed Companies:
- Big Idea 1
- Big Idea 3
- Big Idea 5
- Big Idea 8
- Big Idea 9
- Big Idea 10
- Big Idea 11
- Big Idea 12
- An Diversified Companies with 190 years of History and within Oil and Gas Industry
- One of the local Bank
- Another finance firm
- 5G Solutions Firm
- European REIT
- SG Hotel + Developer
- Medical Properties Owner
HK Listed Companies:
- Shoe-maker
- Games Developer
- China Bank
US Listed Companies:
- American diversified multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate
- Patent + IoT Firm
- Property Insurance Company with main market share in Florida
- Mall REIT within Philadelphia
- Manufacturer of wood-based panels and the world's largest producer of OSB
- global supplier of complete cab systems in the heavy-duty truck
- Banking As A Service
To be honest, it might be easier to just write down the name of the companies. Just that with regards to the recent guideline by MAS, it is probably better to keep the companies to myself as of now.
But I have been very honest to the members on the Fundamental Scorecard Telegram Group! You can always ask me there in the group.

Sorry, this video isn't available any more.
**This article contains distressing audio**
Today marks the 25th anniversary of the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman in what is possibly America's most notorious unsolved case
And Nicole's sister Tanya Brown has urged the public to listen to the 911 call where she reported husband OJ Simpson to police in 1994 during an appearance on today's This Morning.
The author and life coach also spoke about how she still believes the former American football ace is responsible for her sister's death.
'In our hearts we know he did it,' Tanya told hosts Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield, referring to the former sports star who was found not guilty for Nicole's murder.
'The truth of the matter is he did beat my sister dating back to 1978, we've seen those pictures, those journal diary entries,' she said.
'And I want to bring back that 911 call to people. Get on YouTube and listen to Nicole Brown Simpson 911.'
Tanya described Simpson as a 'posterchild quintessential abuser'.
She added: 'When you're educated on domestic violence, you understand the rage that somebody can actually have, but until I was educated on it and until the DNA came out, I couldn't believe that somebody that I knew could do this – I called him uncle OJ.'
OJ was released from prison in October 2017 after serving a nine year sentence for robbery and kidnapping.
He recently said in an interview that 'life is fine' following his release.
Tanya explained that this year is 'really hard' for her but has managed to find acceptance about what happened to Nicole.
'It took me a long time,' she sighed.
This Morning airs weekdays on ITV at 10.30am.

Numbers don't lie, and the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is a big angry box full of big angry numbers: 707 hp, 650 lb-ft of torque, and an 11-second quarter on street tires. The largest number is also the most amazing: the angriest SRT starts at $63,995, including the $1700 gas guzzler tax.
Some simple math puts this in perspective: the Charger SRT Hellcat sets you back $91/hp. To find anything close to that dollar-per-horsepower ratio, you have to do some creative configuring.
Let's look at the competition:
2015 Dodge Charger SRT 392 -$97/hp
In its same family, the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT 392 rings in with 485 hp and an MSRP of $47,385. That puts it at $97 per horsepower. Not shabby. But it has nowhere near the power of its big brother. (And yes, we know that's an R/T in the photo—there are no pics of the regular Charger SRT yet.)
Ferrari F12berlinetta -$441/hp
How about the 730-hp Ferrari F12berlinetta? With an MSRP of $322,638, it's a staggering $441 per horsepower.
Porsche Panamera Turbo S - $316/hp
The Porsche Panamera Turbo S opens at $180,300 and makes 570 hp. That comes in at $316 per horsepower.
2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 - $121/hp
What about the new Chevrolet Corvette Z06? At 650 hp and (an admittedly awesome value at) $78,995, its ratio is $121 per horsepower.
BMW M3 - $158/hp / BMW M5 - $167/hp
The no-bullshit 2015 BMW M3 starts at around $62,000—priced competitively with the Charger Hellcat. But with "just" 425 hp, it nets out at $158 per horsepower. The 2015 M5 is an even poorer value, at $167 per horsepower. That's ... bullshit.
Chevrolet SS - $104/hp
The Chevrolet SS has been criticized for being a poor value, but with 415 hp and an MSRP of $43,475 it comes out to $104 per horsepower—not a terrible value.
Ford Fiesta ST - $106/hp
What about a Road & Track favorite, the 2015 Fiesta ST? 197 hp and an MSRP of $20,945 puts it just behind the SS at $106 per horsepower.
Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 - $95
And then there's the Camaro ZL1, supercharged to the tune of 580 hp. Chevy wants $55,505 for a no-options example, and that puts it at $95 per horsepower. Thoroughly respectable.
Ford Mustang GT - $74
It might be facing a 272 hp deficit when compared to the monster Hellcats, but the $32,100 2015 Mustang GT comes in with a rock-bottom dollar-to-horsepower ratio of $74 per horsepower. That's a $16 per hp savings over the Hellcat. Add the Performance Package (and you really should) and the price swells to $35,420 and gives a ratio of $81 per horsepower—still better than the Hellcat. And a hell of a car, to boot.
Ram 1500 Tradesman Hemi - $61/hp
If you're wondering what could possibly beat what seems like an unassailable value, look towards trucks. The 2014 Ram 1500 Tradesman with the 5.7-liter Hemi squeezes out 383 hp for just $23,615, for a staggering $61 per horsepower. Trucks are simply the best bang for the buck around.
Horsepower isn't everything, but any Hellcat Dodge is a hell of a thing. They have legitimate dragstrip cred, and after looking at the numbers, nothing fun comes close.

250ok, an email analytics and deliverability platform, unveiled its proprietary email validation feature providing marketers a better way to ensure their marketing emails are reaching engaged, real consumers. According to benchmark tests run by 250ok, on average, 250ok Validation is up to 40% better at finding undeliverable addresses and returned 9-15 times less "unknown" results, with up to 99.5% of competitors' unknown results returning as Verified Valid. 250ok's entry into the validation market, currently including companies like BriteVerify (Validity), FreshAddress, and Neverbounce, marks another diversification to complement their single-point email data solution.
In tests using actual email lists from real customers using other validation providers, 250ok found data to suggest leading vendors are underreporting valid addresses and further misclassifying addresses as "undeliverable."
Additionally, other vendors charge marketers for each address passed through their validation system, making continuous list hygiene a financial challenge. 250ok instead provides access based on monthly sending volume and accounts only for unique email addresses, allowing marketers the flexibility to have ongoing management and monitoring of their lists at a fraction of the cost.
250ok Validation is the sixth feature to be added to 250ok's expanding platform, joining Inbox, Reputation, DMARC, Analytics, and, most recently, Design, creating a comprehensive third-party email optimization toolset. By combining email deliverability, hygiene, design, security, and engagement analytics into a single solution, 250ok now allows marketers to consolidate multiple marketing technology stacks with significant cost savings.
Additionally, 250ok Validation will soon release real-time verification and a web form plugin to further enable marketers to verify email addresses as they are collected. With the ability to customize parameters and help subscribers catch typos, platform users can be proactive about their list hygiene at the point of collection.
This announcement follows 250ok receiving its SOC 2 Type II certification, further solidifying 250ok's dedication to implementing best-in-class security protocols for its operational policies, controls, and service delivery, as well as offering a GDPR-compliant solution.

Irving Fisher and Price-Level Targeting in Austria: Was Silver the Answer?
, ,
NBER Working Paper No. 17123
The question of price level versus inflation targeting remains controversial. Disagreement concerns, not so much the desirability of price stability, but rather the means of achieving it. Irving Fisher argued for a commodity dollar standard where the purchasing power of money was fixed by indexing it to a basket of commodities. We show that movements in the price of silver closely track the movements in overall prices during the classical gold standard era. The one-to-one relationship between paper and silver bonds suggests that a simple "silver rule" could have sufficed to fix the purchasing power of money.
