The Generalized System of Preferences (GSP)
The most-favoured-nation principle is a rule of the World Trade Organization (WTO) system, requiring each state to grant all member countries the same conditions to access its market. However, since 1968, developed countries have been able to implement a generalized system of preferences (GSP) granting commercial advantages to developing countries, thus derogating from the most-favoured-nation principle.
Since 1984, the United States have made access to their GSP conditional on the respect of internationally recognized workers' rights. All GSP beneficiaries are subject to this condition.
In 1998, the European Union also introduced a two-tier system of preferences: tariff reductions for all developing countries (GSPs) and larger cuts (GSP +) to countries that respect, among other things, the fundamental rights of workers as defined by the ILO.
Ways to make GSP socially responsible
- Amending the Canadian GSP in order to make it conditional on the respect of workers' rights. This condition could be applied to all GSP beneficiary countries (US model) and be accompanied by investigative or supervisory mechanisms to ensure its application.
- Creating a second GSP that would be conditional on the respect of workers' rights. This incentive model would only target developing countries that are committed to ensuring compliance with the ILO's core Conventions by offering them access to the Canadian market at a more favourable pricing than the standard GSP (European model). This model would also be accompanied by investigative or monitoring mechanisms to ensure that commitments are met.
- Including a mechanism for civil society to file requests for review in the event of non-compliance, regardless of the applicable GSP model.

Avengers: Endgame
Kevin Feige Addresses Carol Danvers' 23 Year Absence Between CAPTAIN MARVEL And AVENGERS: ENDGAME
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has revealed whether or not
Avengers: Endgame
will address where Carol Danvers has been since the events of
Captain Marvel
. Find out more details after the jump...
Josh Wilding
Filed Under: "
Avengers: Endgame
Cinema Blend
Captain Marvel
follow from this point on.
Captain Marvel
concludes with Carol Danvers jetting off into outer space with the Skrulls in order to help them find a new home, but unless a sequel addresses what she was up to for all that time, the twenty-three years between that movie and
Avengers: Endgame
look set to remain a mystery to us.
Now, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has confirmed that we won't be getting a flashback in the superhero ensemble, and it sounds like we'll just have to assume she was busy helping the Skrulls and battling the Kree for over two decades.
"There's no full flashback to the last 23 years [in Avengers: Endgame],"
Feige reveals.
"I don't want to say anything about Endgame, but I will say, as established in this movie, she very much takes responsibility for places that are not Earth – in large part because Earth has Fury and the Avengers."
"Once people see the movie, the answer is a part of it,"
he continues.
"She's been dealing with this unjust war, as it's referred to at one point in the movie, between the Kree and the Skrulls – she's vowed to help them find a home, she's vowed to come after the Supreme Intelligence. So how long that took and how hard that was, it could certainly be one answer to that question."
Earth's Mightiest Heroes are bound to have some questions about where Captain Marvel has been, so here's hoping we get some sort of explanation. What do you guys think?
Click on the "View List" button to check out other ways
Captain Marvel
sets the stage for the MCU's future!
Captain Marvel Vs. The Kree
Captain Marvel
ends on something of a cliffhanger as Carol Danvers blasts into space shortly after sending Yon-Rogg back to the Supreme Intelligence with a warning that she's coming to put an end to it once and for all.
There are a lot of open plot threads here, including what happens when Carol finally comes face to face with the being that spent years controlling her and robbing the hero of her past (we also never get to see its true form, and that feels like something which now needs to be addressed sooner rather than later).
Plus, it definitely feels like there's more story to tell between Carol and Yon-Rogg, so we're guessing a sequel will take place shortly after the events of this movie to fill in those gaps.
No Secret Invasion?
I think it's fair to say that we went into
Captain Marvel
expecting the stage to be set for a big screen adaptation of
Secret Invasion
. However, Talos and the rest of the Skrulls are portrayed in a sympathetic light and the movie does
wrap up with them infiltrating our planet. Does this mean Marvel Studios plans to portray them as the good guys moving forward?
Not necessarily.
Talos makes it clear that there are a lot of Skrulls scattered throughout the universe, and it's entirely feasible that at least one of them would like to make our planet home. If nothing else, at least this movie introduces us to the concept of the shapeshifters!
Ronan Hatches A Plan
Ronan doesn't have a huge part in this movie, but we do learn that he's one of the Accusers and see him fully embracing that role while reporting to Yon-Rogg. At this point, he's a long way off becoming the fanatic we met in
Guardians of the Galaxy
but he seems to be extremely interested in getting his hands on "the weapon."
That's not the Tesseract he's referring to either; it's Captain Marvel!
He clearly has his own plans for her, and it makes sense that this could be where his fascination with the Infinity Stones begins. A sequel could also explore the beginnings of the Kree's war with Xandar and what, if anything, that has to do with the Skrulls.
Talos' Son
This may mean a lot or very little, but it's interesting that the movie made a point of showing us Talos' young son watching his father kill the Kree. Given the changes which have been made to the Skrull general, his son (who would be an adult by now) could easily end up with a name comic book fans will recognise.
Seeing Talos' darker side could have set the stage for the child to become someone who is every bit as merciless as his father appeared to be, and he may be the one who leads the invasion of Earth.
Monica Rambeau
Carol's relationship with the young Monica Rambeau is a lot of fun and very touching. By the time she returns to Earth, Monica will be an adult and more than ready to become a superhero in her own right.
How that will happen remains to be seen (especially as fans are more anxious to see Kamala Khan/
Marvel) but the foundations have been laid and it will be exciting to find out what comes next.
Avengers: Endgame
As expected,
Captain Marvel
's first post-credits scene sets up the events of
Avengers: Endgame,
and there's a lot of evidence to suggest that Carol Danvers will join the ranks of Earth's Mightiest Heroes fairly early on in the superhero ensemble.
For starters, Captain America still has his beard while the team is inspecting Fury's pager, while the trailers have shown him cleanly shaven. Once the pager goes off, Black Widow turns around to see Carol standing there and she's anxious to know where her old friend is, so clearly doesn't realise what's happened to the universe after the snap.
Once the heroes figure out who she is and Carol learns to trust them, Captain Marvel will quickly join their ranks to help take down the Mad Titan once and for all.
Where's Goose?
In the movie's second post-credits scene, Goose (a Flerken) coughs up the Tesseract in Nick Fury's office and that's obviously how he winds up using it to power the weapons we saw in
The Avengers
The question is, what became of Goose after this? Did he escape and do his own thing or die a few years later
a normal cat would? For that matter, is he still hanging out with Fury in secret?!
Captain Marvel's Powers
We learn during the course of this movie that Carol Danvers' powers come from a combination of the Tesseract and a transfusion she received from Yon-Rogg. However, it's hard not to wonder if Captain Marvel will be anywhere near as powerful as she thinks against Thanos, especially as he has the power of that particular Infinity Stone on his Gauntlet!
If that stone is destroyed, does that mean Carol loses her powers or will she use it to boost them?
It's hard to say for sure, but her connection to the Stones can't be a coincidence and you have to believe that this will come into play in
Avengers: Endgame
in a relatively meaningful way.

'Twas I that cried against the pane on All Souls' Night
(O pulse of my heart's life, how could you never hear?)
You filled the room I knew with yellow candlelight
And cheered the lass beside you when she cried in fear.
'Twas I that went beside you in the gray wood-mist
(O core of my heart's heart, how could you never know?)
You only frowned and shuddered as you bent and kissed
The lass hard by you, handfast, as I used to go.
'Twas I that stood to greet you on the churchyard pave
(O fire of my heart's grief, how could you never see?)
You smiled in careless dreaming as you crossed my grave
And hummed a little love-song where they buried me!

Bath Abbey | Black & White / Sepia | Royal Crescent
Bath is a beautiful city with Georgian (18th Century) honey-coloured architecture, famous for its hot springs from which The Romans made the Roman Baths. I lived here for 15 years and loved it, but ironically took better photographs of it after I'd moved away. It is so photogenic, I get back when I can to take new images of the Royal Crescent, The Circus, The Abbey and Pulteney Bridge. The centre has a great atmosphere, with entertainers around the Abbey square. Highly recommended if you haven't been.
'Dear Tony, I can confirm that the picture arrived today and I could not be more delighted. Pulteney Bridge is where I proposed to my fiancée and
the picture is stunning. I have bought it for her birthday and it will take pride of place in our living room. Thank you for your high level of service.
From purchase to receipt you have made me feel incredibly valued. It has been most appreciated. I would happily recommend you to others.
Yours sincerely, C. Paterson', Birmingham, England (bought a print of Pulteney Bridge, Bath)
'Hi Tony, I received the picture this morning thanks - it looks great, just what I was after. I would also add the ordering and delivery was great, easy and so quick! My husband loves it, we are moving away from Bath and live just around the corner, so it's a great reminder of our time in the City. Many thanks, C.P, Bath' (bought a framed print of this image)

I think I'm beginning to slightly understand the credit market melt down. The issue isn't the collapse of the subprime mortgage market – although that is a part. The real issue seems to be the leverage built on top of that subprime mortgage market, especially the banks' Special Investment Vehicles (SIV). SIV are off-book entities banks have set up to hold some of these assets. As a recent Wall Street Journal story explains:
There's nothing special about how SIVs invest their money. They own the usual assortment of bank debt, mortgages and other asset-backed instruments. What's striking is how they are set up, with huge amounts of leverage on a slim capital base; with bank sponsors that don't own them but instead collect management fees for running them; and with their funding derived mostly from short-term commercial paper.
Put those three factors together, and it's clear that SIVs can make tidy profits for banks when things go well. But they are vulnerable to a liquidity squeeze if the commercial-paper market dries up. That's what happened this summer.
Or as another story says:
SIVs sell short-term debt and then use the proceeds to buy longer-term, higher-yielding securities. But SIVs have had trouble in recent months selling debt, and some of their roughly $350 billion in assets are backed by U.S. mortgages — a market that has seized up amid the housing slump and subprime-lending shakeout. Typically, money-market funds, municipalities and other risk-averse investors buy SIV debt.
But when these investors stop buying and the short term debt comes due, the liquidity problem sets in. To compound it, prices of the long-term investments drop in the thin market. Caught between an inability to raise new short term cash and an inability to sell their long term assets, bankruptcy (either official or unofficial) is the result.
I point this out because of the relevance of the subprime market fiasco to the monetization of intangible assets. Like the mortgage market, intangibles such as brand names have been packaged into special purpose entities and bonds backed by those assets sold as securities. In both cases, the cash flow from the original assets — the mortgage payments or the brand royalties — is what backs the original bond. With the rising defaults in the subprime market, that cash flow to support the subprime mortgage backed bonds became unstable. But that is not what caused the panic. Properly treated, that was containable. Owners of those bonds would have simply taken as right off of some portion and move on. But this only works if the owners don't need to sell these assets to cover other debt. So what caused the panic was the banks high-low game of essentially interest rate arbitrage using the subprime backed bonds as the vehicle on the high end (and the commercial paper market on the low end).
So far, I don't know if any intangible asset backed bonds have gotten into any cash-flow problems recently. There have been some in the past. But unlike the covenant-lite deals with subprimes, these intangible asset backed deal have all sorts of trip-wires and covenants to deal with cases of inadequate cash flow.
Having said that, the subprime and SIV meltdown will certainly have a negative impact on any future intangible-asset backed securitization deal. Guilt by association is likely to be the rule. The trick of those trying to push the concept of intangible securitization will be to convince investors that these assets are different. That may be a very hard row to hoe.

NEW YORK – Is Obama helping advance a grand plan by Turkey, with the support of Germany, to restore the Ottoman Empire, the Islamic caliphate that controlled much of southeast Europe, Western Asia and North Africa for more than six centuries?
That is a question posed by historian Robert E. Kaplan in an article titled "The U.S. Helps Reconstruct the Ottoman Empire," published this week by the international policy council and think tank Gatestone Institute.
Kaplan, a historian with a doctorate from Cornell University, specializing in modern Europe, says history suggests a possible partnership between Turkey and Germany, which has seen influence over Turkey as a means of influencing Muslims worldwide for its own interests.
He asks why the U.S. government "would actively promote German aims," including the destruction of Yugoslavia in the 1990s and the re-creation of the Ottoman Empire through the "Arab Spring."
Kaplan points to Obama's support of the Muslim Brotherhood, the ultimate victor in the "Arab Spring"; the U.S. backing of radical Islamic "rebel" groups in Libya with ties to al-Qaida; and current support for similarly constituted radical Islamic "rebel" groups in Syria aligned with al-Qaida.
Each of these U.S. military interventions occurred in areas that were under the Ottoman Empire.
Bring back the Ottoman Empire?
Kaplan sees a similarity between the Clinton-era attacks against the Serbs and the Obama administration hostility to well-established regimes in Libya and Syria.

Choreography: Cathy Marston
Reviewer: Peter Jacobs
Charlotte Brontë's 1847 novel Jane Eyre is a game-changing work of literature, introducing character-based internalisation of the action previously largely the domain of poetry, and creating faction that explored social realism and critique, sexuality, religion and proto-feminism. It was a novel that redefined the possibilities of fiction in a way that makes it still relevant today – which is why television, film and theatre-makers revisit the story time and again. Here, Northern Ballet have enlisted Cathy Marston, a choreographer with a literary background and a history of transforming from page to dance stage, to create a new ballet version.
Condensing a 400-page novel full of internalised thoughts and dramatic action into a 90-minute ballet is no mean task and one not entirely successfully realised. Marston does an effective job of getting through the key elements of the narrative – orphaned Jane, unloved by her own relatives sent away to school where she is cruelly treated, but grows up to be a teacher who sets out into the world as a governess to a house owned by a brooding and complex man with a ward and a dark mysterious secret literally living locked away and in seclusion; a man with whom she falls in love but cannot marry until he, his secret and his house are destroyed.
Jane Eyre is an attractive and mostly-entertaining fly through the story. Patrick Kinmonth's versatile set design of painted cloths that evoke dark and wild spaces, vast skies, trees, moorland, oppressive rooms, is free from clutter, and gives it an impressionistic, modern look with only a vague sense of place. The occasional piece of furniture and the early-Victorian costumes introduce details of period and character with significant points of colour to dramatise the action – the beetle-black of Jane's unloving aunt, Mrs Reed, and the vivid scarlet of Mrs Rochester's tattered finery.
But the breakneck pace doesn't allow for much sense of Jane's character or her emotional journey. She rotates swiftly through sad, fearful, happy and occasionally defiant without ever establishing a strong sense of identity or connection with the audience. There is little opportunity for the kind of solo that might illustrate or share an interior dialogue. Mr Rochester is similarly under-developed. The most vividly-drawn characters are the simplest, or the ones met briefly or occasionally: cousins, servants, especially Rochester's housekeeper Mrs Fairfax (Dominique Larose) and Grace Poole (Minju Kang), Rochester's wife's long-suffering servant'/jailer. Jane's pupil Adele (Antoinette Brooks-Daw) also pops.
There are some effective scenes – the prologue, which is reprised at the point the story catches up with the narrative framing is pleasing, the scenes at Lowood Institution are evocative, although the tragedy of Jane's friend's death from TB is undermined by the seemingly-short duration of their meeting and the fact that shortly after expiring Miki Akuta gets up and walks off. But both fires – for example – are rather underwhelming. Marston's judicious use of pointe work and the character-based movement of minor characters are neatly done.
Philip Feeney's score, which compiles his own original material with contemporary music by Fanny and Felix Mendelssohn and Schubert is melodic and easy on the ear and faithful to the period but somehow only achieves accompaniment rather than meaningfully adding to the drama or the psychological portrait of Jane or Rochester.
In summary, Jane Eyre is a somewhat-superficial romp through the novel, attractively designed and neatly performed by a popular and competent company, but somehow it lacks intellect or emotional depth, or the kind of innovation and technical flare that characterises the leading edge of modern theatre or dance – such as the National Theatre's recent production of Jane Eyre. Somehow this Jane Eyre is safe, nostalgic, comforting and romantic when it could and should be dark, questioning, brutal and passionate.

Woman In The Moon
Add to Calendar
Show at 6:00 PM
Made right between his masterpieces METROPOLIS and M, Fritz Lang's overlooked 1929 sci-fi opus WOMAN IN THE MOON is a gleeful, moving ode to the adventure of space travel that has spectacle, drama and Expressionist style to burn.
Written by Lang's then-wife Thea von Harbou, the story weaves corporate espionage, love affairs and rocket science into a rollicking, fictionalized chronicle of the first voyage to the moon. Lang famously employed Germany's leading rocketry expert, Hermann Oberth to consult, resulting in the first 'serious' sci-fi film, one with startlingly accurate predictions about the technological demands of space travel.
Rare 95-minute theatrical release version as originally seen in 1929!
Plus, because no silent film space voyage would be complete without it, we will be opening the program with a unique print of Georges Méliès iconic 1902 short A TRIP TO THE MOON.
Please note: Stand-by tickets will be available night of show on a first-come, first-serve basis.
All ticket holders must be seated 15 minutes prior to show start time or tickets are subject to re-sale.
Full bar at the Bootleg Theater. There is street parking, or a free lot at the church across the street on Beverly/Roselake. Any questions, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Future "Coupe" (video)
Published Jul 25, 2014We're halfway through Adult Swim's 2014 singles series, and the midway point comes with not only a new Future track called "Coupe," but a wild, on-the-move animated video.
The video finds a driver picking up people to party in said coupe, with the patrons just getting wilder and weirder as the night goes on. At first, we see some relatively normal looking dancers turning up right proper in the vehicle's outlandish nightclub interior, but eventually booty-movers include Predator, a milk-glugging Alex from A Clockwork Orange, hard-twerking astronauts and more. The video also includes a flaming drag race and a police chase, but ends with an older generation scolding over the night on the town.
You can catch the video behind Future's latest AutoTuned boomer down below, while the track goes up as a free download on Monday (July 28).

These two pictures were taken from the same spot, minutes and 180 degrees apart.
I went out to catch the full moon rising and since I was there, grabbed a sunset picture as well. With the sunset shot, somehow the sky and clouds somewhat weirdly mirrored the shape of the water and shore.
As for the moonrise, I've been wanting to get the full moon coming up behind the Sunshine Skyway bridge for a while now, but cloulds have ruined the shot for months. Plus, there are only a few pieces of land one can be on to line up the shot. More often than not, the shot only lines up from a spot that is on the water.
I knew the moon wouldn't be lined up between the bridge uprights on this day, so that will have to happen another time. But I'm happy with the shot. I've been chasing it for a so long.
In February, there is a Super Moon that will line up perfectly with the center of the bridge, but... It's only visible from an island, which is also a state park, which officially closes at sunset, which is 10 minutes before moonrise. The island (you can see it on the horizon of the sunset pic) is only accessible by boat, of which I do not have. The private commercial ferry services depart for the mainland three hours before sunset.
I'm working on getting in touch with a person with a boat that will make it out there and then I need to ask the park service very nicely (and maybe bribe them with a donation) if they'll let us stay on the island a little past sunset (which I know for fact that they will do) on that day. I've got three months to work out the details.
Of course, the weather has to work out, too... I've got three months to make a weather control machine.

Originally known as Moodyville, Vancouver's North Shore was the first settlement where Western Canada's vibrant forestry industry began. Full of activities and sites, this is one of the few spots where you can golf in the morning, ski in the afternoon and dine exquisitely in the evening.
The staycation trend is blossoming now more than ever. Pack a bag and check yourself into the Pinnacle Hotel at the Pier in North Vancouver. Located right on the waterfront with views of the mountains, this boutique hotel doesn't miss details such as fresh cream in the mini fridge, hotel bikes available for cruising around the shore, and outstanding dining at The Lobby Restaurant. A jacuzzi, steam room, 25-metre pool, and fully equipped fitness room will keep you feeling fresh and fit. There are even personal trainers and Zumba classes.
The North Shore offers everything from water sports to skiing. With three separate mountains, the summer brings hiking and the winter snow sports. Check out Grouse Mountain this winter for zipline tours, snowshoeing, outdoor ice skating and sno-limo tours. delete extra space Christmas spirit soars with displays of reindeer, visits from Santa and holiday carols. The Grouse Mountain Skyride takes you to the top in style, giving you one of the best views of both the North Shore and Vancouver. Dine on the mountain at the more casual Altitudes Bistro or the high-end The Observatory, and always save same time for an après-ski beverage.
If cycling is your sport, there's everything from world-class mountain biking to more forgiving trails. Check with one of the local bike shops, who will school you on what's best for the season. Sea lovers can rent kayaks, and there are plenty of golf courses to keep golfers happy.
Also check out the Capilano Suspension Bridge, situated in the west coast rain forest and resting 230 feet above the Capilano River and spaning 450 feet. Interactive ecotours are available, or you can just wander about on your own. Treetop Adventures, on-site, allows you to wander along various suspension bridges; for those craving a bit more excitement, The Cliffwalk juts out from the granite cliffs, right above the river.
If you've checked into the Pinnacle Pier Hotel you can wander down Lonsdale to the charming little Lonsdale Quay, where everything from fresh produce to fashion and gifts are available. The quay is where the seabus arrives from downtown Vancouver, so it can be accessed conveniently. Walk back up the street to Obsession Bikes, where the team will find the perfect ride or accessory for you, head to the Love Nest for some romantic accessories and sexy novelties to make your stay even hotter, or check out one of the local galleries for original art pieces by local and international artists. There are a handful of malls in the area, but why not give your business to independent retailers?
Sip and Dine
There's everything from small ethnic restaurants to large chains in North Vancouver. If coffee is your thing, The Café for Contemporary Art is worth making time for. Sip freshly roasted coffee and sample sinful desserts while checking out the current exhibit. Great lunch spots include the International food court at Lonsdale Quay, Yaas Bazaar at 1860 Lonsdale for Persian, and Burgoo on lower Lonsdale for hearty soups and stews.
In the worthy dining room list The Lobby Restaurant in the Pinnacle Pier, The District or Fishworks on Lonsdale offer great eats and are particularly strong on seafood, Quattro is best for superb Italian and Bistro Chez Michel for fine French cuisine.
The area's not known for much night life, but local pubs such as Pemberton Station and Queen's Cross will provide a good place to watch the game while snacking on decent burgers, nachos or wings.

7 Online Fundraising Tips I Learned By Participating in Movember
For the past 30 days I have been participating in Movember: a worldwide team fundraising campaign to fight men's cancer. While the dogooder in me loves a great cause, I also relish the opportunity to learn more about online fundraising and why people give. It was interesting seeing which platform (Facebook, Twitter, email, face-to-face, etc.) was the most effective, and what type of message generated the most giving. So now that it's over, I wanted to share some thoughts that might help you and your nonprofit.
Wait, Go Back: What is Movember Again?
Movember is a fundraiser that challenges men to change their appearance by growing a mustache. The rules are simple: start November 1st clean-shaven and then grow a mustache for the entire month. The mustache becomes the ribbon for men's health, the means by which awareness and funds are raised for cancers that affect men. For most men, growing a mustache generates a lot of comments, conversation, and laughter – which is the point! Money is raised by participants and goes directly to the Prostate Cancer Foundation and Livestrong Foundation.
Using Movember.com as a home base, participants are encouraged to use their email contacts, work colleagues, social networks, and any other means to promote the cause and raise money. If you check out my page, you can see that the entire campaign was run online. This gave me a great place to experiment with some different fundraising and communication tactics.
What I Learned About Online Fundraising
- Email is Still King
I know social media is a bright shiny toy right now, but it's still playing second fiddle to email when it comes to soliciting online donations. While my initial social media campaign generated plenty of interest and a few donations, I was shocked at how quickly people responded to my email. Within 20 minutes of sending the first email I had 5 donations, and another 5 by the next morning. And the average gift was larger.
- Segmentation Matters
Part of the reason my email campaign was successful was because I had carefully selected my list of recipients. While my email list included some of the social media friends I was already reaching via other channels, it contained mostly relatives, parent's friends, and classmates who typically do not see my Twitter and Facebook activity. Make sure you are segmenting your audience when sending out communications – different strokes for different folks!
- Multimedia Tells the Story
Early on, it became clear that photos and videos could make or break a Movember campaign. When I posted an updated pic on Facebook, I received a lot of likes and comments, but also a donation or two. A heavily commented photo will show up in people's news feeds (because of all the activity), which can really help promote the message. I could post photos on my giving page, via the Movember iPhone app, and we were definitely encouraged to use them on Twitter and everywhere else. If photos and videos can help tell your campaign's story, make sure they are front and center and available to your supporters.
- Sample Communications Really Help
For most fundraising event participants like me, asking for donations can be a bit awkward. Movember did a really good job of providing sample text for emails, pre-written tweets, and great facts to use in Facebook status updates. These examples really helped get the ball rolling in early November, and I was very thankful they were there. So if you're doing a team fundraising event, advocacy campaign, or anything where you're asking supporters to reach out to their networks, be sure to provide some sample emails, tweets, and Facebook updates on your website.
- Being a Tease Helps
One of the most effective tactics was to promise a reward to my supporters if I met intermediate goals. For instance, I promised to change my Facebook avatar to one featuring my baby mustache if I hit the $250 mark by the end of the day – it worked. Lots of my fellow Mo bros had the same experience – they teased their supporters and rewarded them when they gave.
- People Give for Different Reasons
It seems like people are motivated to give for very different reasons. Some people gave to my campaign because of a family member who had prostate cancer, while others gave because they wanted to support me. One person gave me $100 just because I shot her a funny look when she asked to see my stache. The point is that you have to really think about who your audience is and what makes them want to give. Then draft you online communications to resonate with those audiences.
- Good Technology is Key
The entire Movember experience would have been challenging if it wasn't for their great website and fundraising platform. Having the user experience nailed down is critical to the success of an online campaign, and solid technology is a big a part of that. Think through your goals and tech needs before planning your campaign, and make sure everything is tested and ready to go when it begins.
I know to most of you experienced online fundraisers that stuff may seem basic, but they are good reminders of best practices we can all use in our online fundraising campaigns. And while online giving only accounts for ~6% of total giving, its importance will only increase in the future. The nonprofits that know how to reach an online audience and make them act will be the most successful.
And don't forget that reaching out via your blog is always smart – and Movember doesn't end until December 15th, so I'm still accepting donations. (c:

Tea with Jam and Dread by Tamar Myers (mystery novel, 2016).
This one's the latest in a popular series of cozy murder mysteries set in the fictional village of Hernia, PA (population 2,200 or so) and narrated by Magdalena Yoder, owner of the PennDutch Inn and highly successful amateur sleuth. "Mags" is nominally a pious Mennonite lady, but blessed/cursed with a smart-mouthed intelligence and opinionated nature. They get her in trouble with others almost as much as helping her solve the crimes that pop up around her with alarming frequency. Like this book, all the volumes in the series have both culinary- and pun-based titles (Butter Safe Than Sorry, Grape Expectations, etc.) that perfectly reflect the blending of persistent (sometimes absurd, satirical or even outright slapstick) humor with generally gruesome murder scenes. Oh, and recipes–each book is sprinkled with about a half-dozen mini-chapters composed of homespun recipes for various edibles or beverages at least kind of related to the narrative.
Hernia is allegedly in Pennsylvania's Bedford County, a real area that lies "just over the mountain" from Windber, PA., where I live. Like much of the surrounding region, it's mostly rural and has a significant minority population of Amish and/or Mennonite people. These are the folks often (inaccurately) called the Pennsylvania-Dutch (actually mostly of German stock, but that's a whole other story). That interesting subculture–with many customs and traditions guaranteed to conflict with the majority culture's ideas–provide Myers with a very interesting and different background, which she has used to great effect throughout the one-of-a-kind series.
This time around, a family of English nobility arrive for a stay at Magdalena's Bed & Breakfast. They're frankly cartoon-level snobs and, in the grand tradition of mystery fiction, things involving them simply Are Not What They Seem. I won't ruin the plot with spoilers, but I must admit that, in marked contrast to a couple earlier volumes of Magdalena's adventures that I liked far more, this time it felt like Myers might be trying a bit too hard. It's not that this book is bad, by any means. But our narrator/investigator's constant chattiness and coy asides struck me as a bit much on this occasion.
Maybe I simply wasn't in quite the best mood for the literary stew Myers cooked up for us this time. I normally enjoy her variety of sly and even mocking social/cultural commentary. This time I found it all just slightly too over-the-top. Worse, the big climactic reveal at the end didn't quite convince me.
Though I found this particular example a less successful effort, I certainly recommend the series as a whole to anyone with a taste for the sub-genres of culinary and humorous cozies with out-of-the-ordinary settings.

Chiropractic care has been used as a confirmed an effective alternative process of medical treatment for centuries. Primary health care physicians are beginning to fully accept that Neck Pain chiropractic cure can be a priceless tool in their sufferers' treatment and in offering a pain-free life. Physicians are now suggesting to their people that they make an effort to use chiropractic treatment before turning to more serious or risky solutions of treatment such as risky operation. Although chiropractic care is proven to be less evasive and poses lower risks, it does contain its own pros and cons that ought to be weighed before choosing to go with this method of treatment.
A chiropractor, or chiropractic office Smyrna, is different from a Doctor. The chiropractor's goals are to "diagnose, treat, and protect against neurological, skeletal, or soft tissue dysfunction by mostly employing manual and conservative therapies; or soft tissue dysfunction by employing manual and conservative therapies; the most typical being spinal and other adjustments and manipulations". It is usually a science-based and holistic method of treatment that is far not as evasive as traditional types of medical care and therapy. The focus is definitely on getting the body working properly as a whole unit instead of just eliminating one manifestation at a time.
Because chiropractic care is a holistic technique of treatment, it can be less risky than other treatments. Patients do in no way have to endure medical operation, use medication to have a talk to support the body rest to heal itself, or use medicine on a long lasting basis to control agony/symptoms. Chiropractic procedures realign the back bone and joints which lets the body to effortlessly "reset to zero" itself to maintain optimal wellbeing.
To avoid further pain to current physical conditions and avoid any latest injuries, it is great that you select the Chiropractor Near Me very mindfully. He/she needs to be a certified and qualified highly. The initial step is to analyze the professional Chiropractic licenses and his/her professional track record/profile. Inquire about how long they have been in the business, see if there has have been any complaints made against him/her, if they have any professional awards or licenses, what services he/she is certainly qualified to offer, and if their charges are reasonable (not even inflated). If the doctor does indeed not have any certified copies, just keep looking. An unlicensed chiropractor which has little if any experience or they truly are not qualified/skilled can do serious harm to your body. Sometimes in situations like this damage is normally irreparable and could make a patient to become paralyzed, permanently disabled or reason for death (which is exceptionally rare).
There are numerous rewards to chiropractic cure, but there will be nine that are more prominent: improved circulation, treatment or decline of lactic stomach acid, atmosphere and nutrition happen to be presented to the human body instantly, increased flexibility, help of (or drastically lessened) pain and muscle pain, faster recovery time, lower frequency of strength spasms, prevention of near future injuries or further irritation of a current predicament, and feeling far healthier and more at easy.
Overall, whiplash treatment smyrna ga treatment is normally less expensive than numerous medications. If you do the math, you can see that even the consultations can add up to a fairly affordable cost. From the financial aspect, this technique of treatment is "a huge benefit". Above all, in fact some clients experience immediate relief.

8 Questions You Should Be Asking About Your Email Subscribers
I stopped in a small, local antique shop the other day. When the owner held out a spiral bound notebook & asked if I would like to write down my name & email address so I can be notified of a coming sale. How many "forms" like this one had I filled out online in the secure a discount, past month, let alone year, to get news, learn more about a product? Yet the simple gesture stopped me in my tracks because it was so rare — a face-to-face interaction between an email marketer & a subscriber.
Marketing automation software has changed the game& worked wonders on our ability to stay in touch with a global customer depend on ways that are more timely, engaging, and consistent than ever before.
Yet it is also made it easy for us to begin thinking of our subscribers more as data merge fields than as real people.
Email marketing has changed the conversations
When we have a B2C encounter face-to-face, it is simple to get a conversation going. Before I was handed that notebook, the owner had asked me how I'd heard about the store, if I would be there before, and what I was looking for. It was easy & pleasant to answer the questions as I browsed.
But email is different. While few people could straight up ignore questions being asked of them in person, try sending audiences a survey with same inquiries & you might expect anywhere between a 5 – 15 % response rate — not exactly a great representation of your group.
Furthermore, consciously/not, people have a tendency to lie on surveys. Reacting to false that feedback can send marketers down an entirely wrong path.
Data bridge the gap
But beyond speed & scope, email automation has another advantage over in-person interactions — data. Data tells the story that people cannot or will not tell themselves. It tells us who our subscribers are, what they need, and how we could serve them. However before you could get those answers, you have to ask the right questions. Here are 8 questions you should be asking about your email subscribers & answering with data.
- What're their names?
It's much easier to get someone to fill out a single email field than it's to ask for more information. Yet it is worthwhile to test asking for at least a first name at sign-up. Personalized emails draw the eye & deliver six-times higher transaction rates.
- Do they know what they signed up for?
It could be tempting to use a contest or other workaround to gather subscribers. But more than likely, you will see massive disengagement once you start to send emails. Worse yet, if your subscribers do not understand what they signed up for, they may flag you as spam hurting your plans overall. No matter how you sign up subscribers, send an auto-responder immediately afterward. This gives unwitting sign-ups the opportunity to opt out & begins to build a strong relationship with people who want to be there.
- Where did they find me?
Speaking of getting subscribers onto your list, it is critical that you understand the path your subscribers took to get to you — not just the page of your site they signed up on. How did they get to the page? Was it an organic search, a referral link, social media? What pages did they click on before signing up? Following your users' paths could help you answer the next question …
- What is their problem?
Most consumers do not come to product site looking to make a purchase, they come looking for a method. The distinction is important because the former assumes that consumers want what you are selling while the latter defines that they should be convinced. Mapping your subscribers' journey to your sign-up page as well as closely monitoring the engagement behaviors will help you understand what challenges they have so you could convince them your product/service is the solution.
- Where're they reading your email?
By the end of next year, 81% of email users are expected to access their accounts on mobile. These numbers could vary based on who your audience is and when they're opening your emails so it is important to check your data, optimize for all screens, test for a variety of devices before sending.
- When are they reading your email?
You could do a Google search turning up any number of data points about the best days & times to send an email. But the truth is, the time to send email is when your subscribers are reading it. If your subscribers tend to be in the same industry/geographic area, there may be times that are uniquely suited to their needs.
Teachers, for instance, may check email very early in the morning before students arrive then not again tills later in the day. Office workers may be bombarded with a full inbox on Mondays, and emails sent on that day could get lost. Testing is key. Think about your audiences then test different days & times to see what works.
- Can they see my email?
If you are not asking this question, you might be spending hours designing a beautiful HTML email that few people could see. Check your HTML emails for accessibility by adding alt text to your images & using both button & text links. Mix styles up on occasion — while most subscribers report that they choose HTML emails, plain text actually gets higher open rates.
Clean your lists. If a group of subscribers on your list is repeatedly unresponsive, continuing to email them can cause some email providers to start marking your emails as spam for all subscribers. Regularly check who is not opening & segment that group of your main list into a reengagement list.
- What would they do if I …
This is the most important question you could ask about your email subscribers, and it is the one that data answers best. Testing — different segments, subject lines, frequency, send date, content, and so on — is the key to any successful long-term email strategy. So do not be afraid to ask those big what ifs, take a chance, then let the data tell the story.

Last Tuesday night I accompanied Ash to the launch of JC Le Roux MCC Brut, which was held at The Lookout, V & A Waterfront.
Well I was very impressed!
We parked at the Lookout and were 'shuttled' off to the actual venue (which really wasn't that far away) and welcomed with a Mojito type cocktail, while we waited in the lobby for the other guests to arrive.
We were then taken in groups of 10 through a maze and brief explanation of the MCC process, which lead us into the Event.
I was in heaven. I was offered my first glass of JC Le Roux MCC Brut and was very pleasantly surprised. It is very refreshing and has a rich yeasty tone (which I love) with fruity pinot noir flavours.
Dish food was catering and came around with crispy tomato and mozzarella risotto balls, Parmesan frites with truffle dipping sauce and a few more canapés.
Anel from 5fm welcomed us formally and just as I though the event had come to an end, the stage opened up and behind it was a jazz band, full on casino, bars and 2 food stations!
Well, I was completely blown away…waiters kept topping up my glass and I must say that the food from Dish was unbelievable…from mini sirloin and chips, Caesar salads, and spiced grilled lamb cutlets to chocolate and banana pancakes and red velvet cupcakes.
Ash and myself played a couple tables, jack black, roulette and some other game that I really didn't have a clue as to what I was doing (I just kept betting and rolling the dice), but unfortunately lost all our fake money.
After probably my 4th (ok 5th) glass of Brut, it was time for us to call it a night. An event well done and an MCC that I'm sure to have again, most probably with tonight's dinner as I'm having a few friends over for some home-made pitas! Should pair beautifully!

One of the best discoveries I made last year was the Tanja Lagoon Camp.
I'd been dying to go Glamping for ages and after much internet trawling, I found a wicked list with lots of great recommendations. Many looked a bit standard I was intrigued by what I read about the Tanja Lagoon Camp. One of the WOM Book team members had always said her favourite place in NSW was the Sapphire Coast. I have been to Jervis Bay (roughly 3 hours from Sydney), many times and loved it. I had yet to venture much further South. Well, what a discovery!
The Sapphire Coast is undeniably beautiful. It's about 5/6 hours drive South from Sydney. You have pristine massive golden & yellow beaches. It's a foodies paradise being a big farming community there is the most amazing produce here. On the Victorian border and close to places such as Eden you do feel in heaven.
We stayed at the Tanja Lagoon Camp. They are eco-friendly tents some with baths some without, there are only about 5 so it's not too crowded. You are nestled away in a little part of paradise. Close by are lots of amazing beaches you go down dirt tracks to get to. They are some of the most beautiful and empty beaches I have seen in Australia.
You can honestly do this trip with three days and make it really fun and see a lot. The Word of Mouth Guide has all the top tips to make the most of this trip and know where to stop on the South Coast! Message us if you have any questions or want more details.

Bigger than an apartment, easier than a standard home
If you have made the decision to build on a narrow lot, it's a good idea to do your research into the best ways to create a home with enough space to suit your needs that also looks and feels spacious.
The best way to increase your living space is to go up! Putting a townhouse on a narrow lot is ideal. There are multiple tips for using your space wisely.
Use Natural Light to your advantage
Introducing natural light into your home is the perfect way to ensure it has an airy and open feeling. Make sure to consider the orientation of your block when choosing your home design and use well placed windows and glass doors. Mirrors are also handy as they reflect the light flowing into a room.
Open Plan Living
Avoiding lots of smaller rooms and picking an open plan layout is going to give your home the feeling of being bigger than it actually is. Creating multi-purpose areas is one way to go, for example, incorporating the kitchen, dining, and living in one larger space, rather than 3 smaller rooms. You can still define each area with some clever design tricks, such as using furniture, shelving, rugs, plants or room dividers.
High ceilings and a light colour scheme
Choosing high ceilings is great for giving the illusion of more space as it allows for bigger windows, which let more light come through and can be visually more appealing.
Keeping your colour palette light is also beneficial. Dark walls just make everything feel more enclosed. If you are partial to colour then try keep it to a feature wall, or add pops of colour with furniture, home decor and art.
Maximise storage wherever possible
There are lots of ways to incorporate storage into your home without taking up valuable space. Built in wardrobes or linen cupboards are top of the list but furniture that is multifunctional is also a great option. Beds with drawers or gas lift bases (perfect for storing all your extra quilts, pillows and sheets) and tables or ottomans that have storage work well in providing extra storage space.
Don't forget to utilise wall space (right up to the ceiling) and use any dead space under the stairs. Enlisting the services of a cabinet maker to custom build storage in tricky spaces is one way to make sure every inch is taken advantage of.
Bring the outdoors In
Designing your home to make the living areas easily flow into the outdoors gives the sense of it being one big living space. Sliding glass doors ensure a seamless flow between inside and out, and also allow the natural light to flow in. Adding a balcony upstairs also adds extra living space, looks great and enables you to take in any views.
Overall it is possible to live in a townhouse and still have enough storage to accommodate your needs. Browse furniture stores, take your house plans to a cabinet maker, visit display homes and chat to your Urban Mews townhouse specialist. Planning ahead will ensure that your home will be practical and fully functional for years to come!

Meet Sacred Economics
I think I am close to saying everything I have to say about a gift economy, so two more posts, maybe? Of course I can never be sure because the posts write themselves when they are ready. (And that, my dears, is how the future is written–at least in my book…and in my posts.)
Anyway, lately I've been asking myself, in its purest form what would a gift economy look like?
My last eight posts have explored some characteristics, most of them from Charles Eisenstein's Sacred Economics. Included in that list are; paying it forward (or back is OK too), accountability, building community through sharing, and restoring the commonwealth. In addition I have pointed out that money itself can also be a gift, but we need to change our societal perceptions of it. Raise consciousness, tell a new story, if you will.
All of this may sound new, but, guess what?!!! An organization called Heifer international has been doing that and more for 70 years. One man's gift of 17 cows to families in Puerto Rico in 1944 has evolved into the charity's present-day vision of "a world of communities living together in peace and equitably sharing the resources of a healthy planet."
That vision is specifically laid out in twelve "cornerstones," several of which have a lot in common with Eisenstein's description of a gift economy:
1.Passing the gift. After the gift of an animal is received, the recipient pays it forward by gifting the first off-spring to another family in the community. According to Eisenstein, when one receives a life-changing gift, the automatic response is gratitude and a desire to do the same for others, which in turn brings joy.
2. Accountability. Not only is the gift passed along to others, but the donor of the off-spring is responsible for educating the recipient in animal husbandry. Remember the woman who sold donations on E-Bay a few posts ago? And the discussion that followed among readers of whether a true gift requires accountability? Heifer's answer is yes.
3. Sharing and Caring. This, according to Heifer–and Eisenstein–is one of the most effective ways to build community.
4. Sustainability and self-reliance–it's the old story about not giving a man a fish, but teaching him to fish, with the added caveat–don't destroy the environment when you fish. Or as Eisenstein puts it: work to restore the commonwealth.
5. Nutrition and income. Nutritious food, safe drinking water, and the means to live well in community is what Eisenstein says is our right as humans.
6. Genuine need and justice. The original purpose of money, says Eisenstein, was to connect human gifts with human needs so we may all live in greater abundance.
7. Improving the environment. Or the wealth we should be holding in common. Yes.
8. Full participation. Building community requires one to be involved.
9. Training and education. Yes, again, but Eisenstein's variety is about raising consciousness about the flaws of a market economy while at the same time initiating conversations about how to transition to one of gifts.
10. Spirituality. Well, it isn't called SACRED economics for no reason! (And, oh. btw, Heifer's cows are "sacred" in the best possible way.)
Before I finish, it's worth mentioning organizations which provide micro-loans to entrepreneurs in developing countries. Although these loans are of great assistance to specific individuals who don't qualify for traditional bank loans and also may help the community itself in some ways, the Eisensteinian problem is that they also take money out of the local economy because interest is paid to outside entities. So just be aware that when you make a donation to fund a micro-loan, you may be indirectly creating problems for those in that culture with limited financial resources; in other words, your certificate of deposit could be someone else's foreclosure. The bigger question, however, is should we be exporting our questionable Western values to other cultures?
In comparison, Heifer's "passing the gift," sidesteps money all together. And secondly, although donors from outside of the recipient community do give money to provide the initial gift, it is a usually a situation of people with relative excess giving to a cause that restores the commonwealth world-wide. Most donors, I suspect, give out of gratitude for what they have rather than out of feelings of self-sacrifice, so as one of my mentors likes to say, "It's a beautiful thing. You've got to love it!"
And I hope you do!

The resonantly photogenic model-turned-actress Sarah Lancaster began life in Overland Park, KS, with a real estate broker father, a homemaker mother, and one sibling. The family moved to Mission Viejo, Orange County, before Sarah's 11th birthday, where the aspiring star instantly secured representation and, within a few years, landed a recurring role as Rachel Meyers on the teen-oriented sitcom Saved by the Bell: The New Class, between 1994 and 1996. Lancaster briefly attended the University of California at Irvine to facilitate an early high-school graduation, then leapt into L.A.-based acting work, with a series of contributions to such low-profile films as Lovers Lane (1999), Mercury Project (2000), and Devil in the Flesh 2 (2000).
Lancaster scored her first huge cinematic break in 2002, when she appeared (very briefly) as one among dozens of romantic interests for Frank Abagnale Jr. (Leonardo DiCaprio) in Steven Spielberg's dazzling biopic Catch Me If You Can (2002). Lancaster maintained a higher onscreen profile with guest-starring appearances on Scrubs and CSI, as well as supporting roles on Everwood and Dr. Vegas. Her next two television roles -- Dr. Marjorie Seaver on the comedy drama What About Brian and Ellie Bartowski on the spy comedy drama Chuck -- lead to even higher exposure and success.

My Boyzzzzz from Illinoiszzzz
What a wild ride July has been. We started the month with a couple of guided trips on Falcon that saw Elmo catch a fish on every single cast.
Quawn followed that trip with a new personal best of his own that hit the 8 pound mark.
54 hours round trip to PA and back with a weeks worth of guiding on Lake Erie mixed in for good measure.
A couple of days of rest and I was back on the move to Peoria, Illinois and speaking of wild ride……lol.
Anytime these fellas are in involved it can and will get a lil silly. I am proud of myself to be honest. I hung with these rockstars for 4 days and I am pretty sure I'm going home with the same number of underdrawers that I arrived in Peoria with.
Oh and speaking of winning.
Doc and I dropped the atomic elbow on the little Eastern Illinois casino boat. We emptied the tables tray of money not once, but twice.
I also had the privilege of playing the most difficult golf course in the country….not once, but twice. After losing 16 pro v 1's day one, I pulled driver out a grand total of zero times day two. I'm telling you I could (and did) stand in the middle of the fairway and piss on the out of bounds in both directions. What did I shoot? Luckily it was a scramble…..otherwise 130 would not have been out of the question. The last course we golfed at was a spitting image of Union City Public Golf Course where I grew up playing. Vaughn was on fire…..and I wasn't complaining much as he was my partner. Check out this three of a kind.
Between all of the golf we managed to catch a bass or two (I know shocker)
and we ate like kings.
It was great seeing everyone again and meeting Kim and Maddie for the first time. (Vaughn's wife and Doc's daughter……a red headed Madison like mine….Pretty cool). I posted a couple funny videos and some pics on Facebook. Check em out if you get a spare moment.
I am back home with my girlies and ready to hit Falcon hard over the coming months…..
blessed?, fortunate?, lucky?, greatful?
The correct answer would be E. All of the above
Love ya highstakesbassin.com fans and as always, thanks for reading. See ya down here in paradise soon.
