Our company has been using Fischer Roofing Contractors to fix roofing leaks for several of our properties around Philadelphia and the suburbs. We've found them to be very responsive and accommodating. They were reasonable in price, professional in approach, and get the job done right. Because of their vast expertise we were able to use them for roof repair work, as well as entire new roof construction. I was so impressed with them that when I needed roofing work on my own home, I didn't hesitate to call them and have them do the work. I'd recommend Fischer Roofing Contractors for any type of roof repair or new roofing for both commercial roofing or residential roofing in the Philadelphia area.

It was overall a great experience and I would highly recommend them to others.

Teachers, clergy and Catholic schools: A study of perceptions of the religious dimension of the mission of Catholic schools and relationships between teachers and clergy in the Lismore Diocese

Tinsey, W. M. (1998). Teachers, clergy and Catholic schools: A study of perceptions of the religious dimension of the mission of Catholic schools and relationships between teachers and clergy in the Lismore Diocese (Thesis, Australian Catholic University). Retrieved from https://doi.org/10.4226/66/5a8e42e64b785
The Catholic Diocese of Lismore is situated in the north-east coastal area of New South Wales, Australia. Catholic education in this diocese is based on the premise that school and parish work together in partnership for the personal and spiritual development of students. This premise relies on the assumption that teachers and clergy share a common view of the mission of Catholic schools. However, some recent studies highlight a lack of shared vision and indicate that teachers and clergy frequently have different expectations of what Catholic schools should be. This study examines similarities and differences in perceptions of the religious dimension of the mission of Catholic schools among the teachers and clergy in the Lismore Diocese. It identifies areas in which there is a significant lack of congruence. The study also explores the relationships and the quality of partnerships between teachers and clergy and identifies issues that are potential sources of tension. Furthermore, it considers implications for change. Self-completion questionnaires were given to the target population which consisted of all the full time teachers in Catholic schools and all the clergy on active duties in the Lismore Diocese at the beginning of 1997. Subsequent semi-structured interviews were conducted with all the clergy in the group and with thirty two teachers chosen through random sampling. Data yielded little evidence of sustained dialogue between teachers and clergy on issues related to the religious orientation of Catholic schools. Although there were some similarities in the teachers' and priests' perceptions of the religious dimension of the mission of Catholic schools, there was a considerable variation in their perceptions of priorities for these schools. Some of these differences could be linked to teachers' individual relationships with the institutional Catholic Church.;Teachers and priests were found to differ significantly in their understanding of the effectiveness of Catholic secondary schools. The study also found that ecclesiastical language used to describe the mission of Catholic schools is not always understood by teachers who work principally out of an educational context. Moreover, the study found that relationships between teachers and clergy were often hindered by poor communication, lack of clarity with regard to roles and expectations and very different perceptions of the structures and practice of authority. Many teachers believed that clergy were 'out of touch' and unrealistic in their expectations of schools and teachers. Many priests, on the other hand, considered that teachers had generally lost a sense of 'vocation' and religious motivation for their involvement in Catholic schools. Priests were generally more interested in forming partnerships with schools than were teachers in forming partnerships with parish communities. The perception that secondary school communities did not relate to parishes as well as their primary counterparts was widespread among clergy. This study makes several recommendations for the improvement of communication and dialogue between teachers and priests. It also recommends that similar research be carried out in dioceses where the parish-school authority structure differs. As part of this study the initial findings were presented to a significant gathering of clergy and school principals. The resulting discussion led to the proposal of strategies for improvement in communication and partnership. In this way the applied research in the study became an agency of change itself, working in the direction of a better culture of communication and collaboration regarding the religious mission of Catholic schools.

Some questions regarding JMP:
1.How can i learn about the differences between the multivariate analysis methods(pairwise , row-wise etc.)?
2.How to choose the best method for my analysis?
3.When i do multivariate analysis in a script i would like to get the correlations as a data table. how to do it in the script?
Thanks in advance
There is documentation included with JMP that goes over Modeling and multivariate Methods. Go to the Help menu, select Books. Also, opening up the Multivariate command and hitting help will give a brief explanation.
If you want to save a correlation matrix to a JMP table, you can use the "make into data table command". Use the following example as a starting point.
mv = Data Table ("My Data Table")<< Multivariate (....)
mvr[Matrix Box(1)]<<make into data table;
Thanks the example solved my problem!
I looked at the help books it doesn't explain how the analysis is done(as far as i could see), it does say that pairwise is used for large data tables.

The easiest part of deleting the spam and spambots has been completed: over 10 000 spam reviews and comments have been deleted. I dearly wish that it was as simple as deleting the spam account and everything would go with it, but the comments weren't even visible on the profiles of the associated accounts. I have spent far longer than I ever expected going line by line through the database.
I cannot say for certain that I deleted all of them, as there were a few that I could not tell if they were true spam or just generic reviews. Please let me know if you have any remaining spam comments or reviews.
The next step is the more difficult task of deleting spam stories and the accounts that posted them. I've kept a list of the accounts associated with the deleted spam, so I have a starting point at the very least. I do hope it won't take as long as step one did, but I cannot say for certain.
The other thing is a mod-call. Are any of the old moderators still checking in, or do I need to find some new ones?

Start jogging NOW! It'll make you live 6 years longer!
I have to be honest: I am the worst runner ever. Seriously. I'm the worst runner ever because, despite wanting to make sure I keep the weight off and doing a couple races in the past few months, I can barely ever keep it up. I don't think I've even been able to run consistently for more than 3 weeks. It's a problem, I know. And I feel all the worse for it because I know how great running can be for burning calories and keeping your heart healthy.
But now I have some serious extra motivation to dig out my running shoes and hit the pavement: a new study has shown that jogging boosts your lifespan by six years. Yes, you read that correctly, SIX YEARS!
Read more ¿Qué más? All you need is 20 minutes to get your best body ever.
If you aren't lacing up those sneakers by the end of reading this, then you're doing a real disservice to yourself—and your family! Don't you think your family wants you to be healthy and live longer, too? I know I sure do! I am getting back to running and I am doing it TODAY. The study, which was just presented at the EuroPRevent2012 conference in Dublin, Ireland, tracked 20,000 men and women between the ages of 20 to 93 since 1976. Basically, they know what they're talking about! Dr. Peter Schnohr, chief cardiologist of the study said:
We can say with certainty that regular jogging increases longevity. The good news is that you don't actually need to do that much to reap the benefits. You should aim to feel a little breathless, but not very breathless.
Want to find other moms como tú? "Like" MamásLatinas on Facebook!
So what are you waiting for? Someone to literally push you out the door? It's time to get out there and start developing that jogging habit you always knew you should have. I know I definitely will! If it will help me live longer for my family, then it's the least I can do.
Are you planning to start jogging after this news?

Today millions of Americans will join together to celebrate Veterans Day. This contemporary American holiday grew out of Armistice Day and commemorates the ending of World War I on November 11th, 1919. As we remember this day, when the nations of the world agreed to lay down their weapons and begin the long project of building peace, we as a country must turn our attention to the struggles that confront our veterans after our wars are over.
As President Obama noted in his Veterans Day address yesterday, "Today marks the first time in nearly a decade that our American troops are not fighting, are not dying in Iraq." Indeed, as the war in Iraq ends and the war in Afghanistan draws to a close, over a million veterans are coming home and facing the challenges that confront them in the U.S. President Obama continued, "No one who fights for this country overseas should ever have to fight for a job, or a roof over their heads, or the care they have earned when they come home." Sadly, today too many veterans have to fight for exactly those things.
For much of the past several years unemployment in veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan has far outpaced the general unemployment rate. President Obama and the 112th Congress made helping veteran's find work a top priority and reports from earlier this fall found a steadily increasing employment rate. However many veterans, especially women returning from war, continue to struggle to find a job.
Although Secretary of Veteran Affairs, Eric Shinseki, has said that his personal goal is to bring homelessness in veterans to zero, this remains a persistent and serious problem. According to the National Coalition for Homeless Veteran's 23% of the homeless population is veterans, and a full third of the adult male homeless population has served in the military. Many of these veteran's suffer from severe mental illness and substance abuse; nearly fifty years since the Vietnam War ended, 47% of homeless veterans are still suffering from its trauma.
Finally, while there are many concerns about veteran's health care, perhaps the most significant (highlighted by the recent election of Tammy Duckworth to Congress) is the number of veterans returning with serious disabilities. Thousands of veterans are returning to find a country that is largely inaccessible to their new needs and restrictions. Moreover, veterans make up one of the largest group of people with disabilities who continue to travel abroad. Because of this, veterans groups (including the Veterans of Foreign Wars and Disabled American Veterans) have become leading voices in the call for ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, a UN treaty that would require accommodations for people with disabilities around the world. The U.S. has signed this treaty but has yet to ratify it, a step that would help ensure the ability of veterans to work and travel abroad.
President Obama said in his speech yesterday, "No ceremony or parade, no hug or handshake would ever be enough to truly honor your service." The health and safety of America's veterans require your action. Tell the Senate to ratify the Convention on The Rights of Persons with Disabilities and support our veterans. We are finally in the process of bringing our troops home – it is time that we give them the full support they need once they are here.

The Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts and participants in the Diocesan Investment Trust now have a new option for environmentally responsible investing. The diocesan Financial Advisory Committee and the Trustees of Donations announced at Diocesan Convention on Nov. 14 the opening of the Diocesan Fossil Fuel Free Fund.
The fund will be provided by the Aperio Group, an investment group that helps design portfolios that fit each investor's environmental, social and corporate values and mission. The fund is being offered alongside the existing Stock Fund offered by the Trustees of Donations, and like the Stock Fund will exclude gambling, tobacco and coal companies. Unlike the existing Stock Fund, the Diocesan Fossil Fuel Free Fund will screen out companies deriving more than five percent of their revenues from fossil fuel production, and will allocate five percent of its assets to companies that produce alternative energy, green building, energy efficiency and pollution prevention technologies.
The Diocesan Fossil Fuel Free Fund represents the culmination of a three-year conversation in the diocese around environmentally responsible investing.
The call for a "clean" investment fund first went out in a resolution adopted by Diocesan Convention 2013, which urged the Trustees of Donations to design an alternative investment vehicle free of fossil fuel production companies, and to conduct a feasibility analysis of rolling out this fund to all potential investors in the diocese.
A year later, a resolution approved by the 2014 Diocesan Convention encouraged the Diocese of Massachusetts to endorse a "broad, inclusive approach to sustainable and responsible investing" and to "welcome and respect the diversity of approaches to sustainable and responsible investing."
The current investment landscape of the diocese now has room for a range of investment philosophies, according to the Rev. George Stevens, Chair of the Financial Advisory Committee and a member of Diocesan Council. The Diocesan Council has approved an initial investment of $8 million in the Diocesan Fossil Fuel Free Fund, which will be reinvested from the funds controlled by Diocesan Council (as opposed to the trusts, controlled solely by the Trustees of Donations).
The Trustees of Donations will maintain its actively managed trusts that include some investments in fossil fuels, and engage in shareholder advocacy with energy companies.
"Participants should keep in mind that the Diocesan Fossil Fuel Free Fund has been created to address a moral concern, and that its returns will be affected (for better or worse) by the absence of investments in most of the energy sector, a sector whose stocks comprise a large segment of the investable universe," the Trustees of Donations wrote in a letter to parish treasurers and vestries on Oct. 26.
"The flexibility of this fund as a passive, separately-managed fund enabled us to recommend a customized benchmark and investment options and will also make it possible for the trustees to represent investors' environmental values even more broadly by voting their proxies through the trustees' Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) Committee," said Jane White, a member of the Financial Advisory Committee, in her remarks at Diocesan Convention. "We were guided by the desire to collaborate with the trustees, so that whatever fund emerged as our Fossil Fuel Free Fund could be offered to the parishes in the diocese, as well as the diocese itself."
Reinvesting some diocesan funds in the Diocesan Fossil Fuel Free Fund, while keeping trusts in actively managed traditional investments, allows the diocese to take a "both/and" approach to environmentally responsible investing, as outlined in the 2014 Diocesan Convention resolution.
"We recognize these different ways of addressing this," Stevens said in an interview. "If we leave [fossil fuels] completely, we have no voice at all. If we stay in it to a smaller degree, it's indicative of our desire for change. In this way the trustees are going to continue their efforts on that level [of shareholder activism], believing that their voice can shape policy at these energy companies."
While the trusts managed by the Trustees of Donations will not be invested in the Diocesan Fossil Fuel Free Fund, the trustees have partnered with the Financial Advisory Committee on this issue and will be managing the new fund.
"The diocese and the trustees have partnered in creating and finding this fund, and the trustees will continue to manage it," Stevens said. "They've done this work diligently over the last few years, and they actively sought out this fund to meet the criteria the convention [resolution in 2013] provided."
Stevens noted that all investments should be vetted through individual investment policies, or through an investment strategy with a church's vestry.
Treasurers and vestries interested in investing in the Diocesan Fossil Fuel Free Fund should contact Richard Blakney, Investment Coordinator for the Trustees of Donations, at email@example.com. The diocese's Investment Policy Statement, found here, may also be a useful resource.

text: Was This the World's Oldest Person Ever? Sodimedjo of Indonesia, who just died, claimed to be 146 By Arden Dier, Newser Staff Posted May 2, 2017 12:54 PM CDT 22 comments Sodimedjo, also known as Mbah Ghoto. (YouTube) (Newser) – Emma Morano was the world's only living person verified as having been born in the 19th century before her death last month at 117. But Sodimedjo of Indonesia claimed to have three decades on her and two decades on the world's oldest recorded person before his death Sunday. Sodimedjo said he was born in December 1870, which would have made him 146, but that date is not officially recognized because Indonesia began recording births only in 1900, reports the Guardian. Sodimedjo, a heavy smoker who outlived four wives, previously told the BBC he lived a long life "because I have people that love me looking after me." The official title of oldest person goes to Jeanne Calment of France, who died in 1997 at age 122. (Read more oldest person stories.)

The world's favourite blue engine Thomas the Tank Engine™ has puffed his way into Australian cinemas to take all his friends and fans on a brave new adventure… and we'd like you to join in the fun! Check out our review of "Tale of The Brave" below and enter our giveaway to win one of three family passes (each pass admits five).
Mum of two Julie takes Oliver (5) and Emily (4) to see Tale of the Brave…
One of my first enduring memories of being a Mum to a toddler boy was finally allowing myself to take a break (and simultaneously give my son a break) – with small doses of TV! Thomas the Tank Engine was, I think, the first indulgence I allowed (for both of us) and this grew into a real love of the delightfully simple and wholesome story-lines of a train building wonderful friendships and a strong working ethic, reflected in the TV series based on the book collection of the Rev J Awdry.
This love extended across humble first building and construction train sets – and watching a bond develop between not only son and Dad but with grandmas and granddads as well. So, it was with a real sense of nostalgia that I attended a screening of Tale of the Brave.
Unfortunately, though my four year old daughter happily looked forward to the screening, my husband and I questioned why we were having to convince our intrepid five and a half year old to join us … That said, as the time came this same kid then became more and more visibly excited as we trekked our way in. Who would have thought?! The lure of a monster/train combo was now obviously enough to get him through the door, suiting little sister to a "T".
The scene was quickly set with an intriguing mystery established via a very cool (for Thomas at least) James Bond-ish opening credit, with shadows like a dinosaur giving lend to what was to come.
A perfect length (60 minutes), littlies won't have too much trouble sitting through what is ultimately an endearing story of pranks, bravery and friendship. And for grownups it's not so long that it feels long in the tooth…!
What struck me was the difference between small screen and big screen with some lovely special effects and how much more realistic Sodor Island seems in the movie. Lifelike images of a large moon, fog, frogs and bunny rabbits making a nice change from the more cartoonesque Thomas of old.
A clear storyline about facing your fears rather than running away from problems, Tale of the Brave has many messages that can be taken away and are perfectly suited for 3-4 year olds, with there being enough to keep avid train fans of surrounding ages interested – though parents of two year olds may need to be prepared to give a cuddle or two!! With themes demonstrating a lovely humour and camaraderie, we all agreed that it was fun to watch a heartwarming story, making a nice change from so many over-stimulatory big screen equivalents for the little ones.
Tale of the Brave is now showing (until 19 August, 2014) at HOYTS Junior Theatres across Australia. You can find all sorts of fun games, videos, apps, and more on the official Thomas and Friends™ website.
Kerry, Lucy, and Stacey have each won a family pass!
Would you like to win one of three family passes to Tale of The Brave? To enter, simply tell us in the comments section below what you like about Thomas the Tank Engine. You can also score extra entries into the prize draw by sharing on Facebook or tweeting about the giveaway (please let us know that you've shared in your comment). Winners announced on 8 August, 2014. This competition is now closed.

Last Friday, Weyerhaeuser
What to make of newly converted REITs? And is Weyerhaeuser a buy right now? I put those questions to REIT expert Ralph Block at the end of January. A former lawyer, Ralph is a leading expert on REITs, having literally written the book on investing in them: His fourth edition of his Investing in REITs is in the works right now. He is a former co-manager of the Undiscovered Managers REIT fund, and has been personally investing in REITs for more than 40 years.
I interviewed Ralph on a variety of REIT-related topics. What follows is an edited portion of our conversation about Weyerhaeuser; though he liked the business, he wasn't sold on its price.
Brian Richards: Weyerhaeuser is another company that has attracted a lot of interest from investors. It has a pretty large trading volume relative to most of the other REITs out there. So first part of the question: What is your opinion of companies that have just recently transformed into being REITs?
Ralph Block: A lot of it is company-specific. What I mean by that is if a company was a privately held real estate organization that is just now coming public and they have no public market experience -- experience has taught me to be very careful of those kinds of companies because a lot of these guys are smart real estate people, but they don't really understand public markets. And you know, they'll do a lot of dumb things and make a lot of people think they're just trying to be cheerleaders for their company, and they're trying to grow regardless of risk. It's always better in my opinion to wait a year or two before buying a brand-new company that becomes a REIT.
Brian: Any thoughts on Weyerhaeuser in particular?
Ralph: Weyerhaeuser is different because it's already been a public company [since the 1960s], and it's also different in the sense that it's a very unique "property-type," which is timber. And I think with oil prices doing what they're doing and food prices spiking, and copper prices going up -- I think a lot of people, they're worried about QE2 causing a lot of inflation, and what better inflation hedge than timber?
And so that's I think one of the reasons why there's a lot of interest in Weyerhaeuser now as a REIT, because it fits right into this concept of a global recovery and inflation hedge and that kind of thing. Now I looked at Weyerhaeuser, and it's the kind of REIT that I might like to own at some point, but the problem I have with Weyerhaeuser now is the valuation. I mean, earnings are still going to be kind of blah in 2011. Most of their timber is high-quality so it's got to go into houses as opposed to mixed up and made into pulp or paper. And so the housing market is probably going to be another year of not-so-good.
And their dividend yield ... I think the yield is around 2.8% on the pro forma dividend, and I think it's trading at [more than 35 times forward earnings]. So I mean --
Brian: It might be worth owning, but not at that level?
Ralph: If I could see it down at $16 or $17 instead of [in the $20s], you know, I'd certainly consider it. ... I could sure be wrong -- wouldn't be the first time -- but I will be patient on this one.
Want to keep tabs on Weyerhauser by following all our coverage of it? Make sure you add it to your Watchlist.

Baby Calendar Month 6
Six-month olds are in love. They are in love with their parents, their favorite others whether siblings, grandparents or other loved ones, and the world around them. Consider your six-month old to be a scientist, testing everything he sees with all the powers he possesses. He will likely explore with his mouth first, then touch and drop and listen all the while looking intently. He'll been listening to any clues you give about how to use the object, and whether you label the object for him. He's starting to learn the words for things around him, even though it will be quite awhile before he can verbalize those words himself. Go ahead and tell him what things are when baby is encountering them. Narrate your day together to build that receptive vocabulary.
Babies this age love themselves too. They will grab and suck body parts, and then do the same with yours, understanding now that you two are separate creatures. They love hearing their own voices and names, and enjoy watching their reflections in mirrors even though they don't quite grasp that the image is their own.
While baby has become quite the explorer, look for increased locomotion to accompany this exploration. Baby may get onto hands and knees and sorta of wobble about, may drop onto her belly and creep perhaps backwards at first. She may sit for longer periods, correcting her own balance with her hands. She may become quite the skilled roller, and find a way to get where she desires using a combination of all these locomotion skills.
Nutritional Needs
If baby has begun to take baby cereals over the last several weeks, you might want to expand his diet to now include some tasty but mild vegetables. Carrots or squash are good ones to begin with.
Babies with a high likelihood of developing food allergies should not be given certain food items until later. Those at risk include those with close family relatives with asthma,eczema, allergies and of course, food allergies especially.
While you may want to introduce vegetables and fruits at six months or later, avoid legumes or veggies like peas or beans until other vegetables have been successfully eaten without reactions. A month or two after vegetables are in baby's diet, you can introduce fruit but avoid citrus fruits.
No honey for any babies until one year of age, as it can be deadly. Wait until baby's first birthday to include cow's milk, berries, citrus fruits or juices. Wait until age 2 for wheat, chocolate or egg whites, and until age 3 for peanut butter, shellfish or fish. Wait until age 4 to offer peanuts or other tree nuts due to choking hazards as well as allergy issues.
Always introduce one food at a time, giving it to baby several times before adding any new food items. Look for any signs of food allergies such as a itchy eyes, rash, bloating, gas, diarrhea or unusual fussiness following feedings. Start with a tablespoon, gradually increasing to 4 to 5 tablespoons twice daily.
Well Baby Visit
Babies generally have a visit scheduled with their pediatrician this month. You can discuss baby's growth, feeding habits and sleeping schedule with the doctor. Write down any questions or concerns you may have.
Between 6 and 18 months, infants get their Hepatitis B and IPV or polio vaccines. Talk to your doctor about when you should do this. Also infants may be a yearly flu shot starting at 6 months. You'll definitely want to ask your doctor about when baby should receive their first flu shot.
Tips for Mom and Dad
Since baby is becoming rather mobile by now, and if not will be quite soon, it's critical that parents babyproof again. Look at everything from baby's perspective and remember that anything baby comes into contact with is most likely to get mouthed. Make sure plants are out of reach, and get poisonous plants out of your home all together to be most safe.
If you have pets, get their food out of baby's radar and reach unless you really want baby eating Fido's food or lapping at Kitty's water. Kitty's litter box needs to be beyond baby's exploration space as well. Use baby gates to close off certain areas of the home.
Keep carpets and floors cleaned and vacuumed or expect baby to do it for you, remembering that she'll probably eat anything in her grasp. Baby's vision has sharpened considerably and he'll make a bee line for that bit of string, errant paper clip or month-old raisin.
As baby's world opens up, she'll also be using it for balance. Make sure all furniture is secure and baby can't topple it over on herself should she pull up on it.
When baby can explore freely and safely he has the best opportunities for growth and learning while you can rest assured he's out of harm's way.

This cheesecake is so soft and tasty. It is a much lighter version of a regular cheesecake and the texture is cotton-soft. The Asian version of a cheese cake usually flavors include powdered Japanese green tea matcha, mango and lychee. It is lighter in flavor – and I am sure that you'll love it just as much as I do!
5 eggs
200 gr of cream cheese (Philadelphia or any other will do)
140 gr of sugar
100 ml milk
50 gr of butter
60 gr flour
20 gr corn starch
1 tbsp lemon juice (optional)
2 tbsp of matcha tea (optional)
Preheat the oven to 160°C. Carefully melt butter, cream cheese and milk over a water bath. Do not let the bowl touch boiling water; we do not want to cook any of the ingredients at this point. Cool down the mixture and fold in egg yolks, flour and corn starch (and lemon). In another bowl whip the egg whites until foamy, then gradually add sugar, until they form white peaks. Carefully fold in the egg whites in the cream cheese mixture. Use a spatula, and slowly stir it with downwards motions. The next step is optional – I divided my dough in two even parts and sieved 2 table spoons of matcha tea into one of them. Green tea contains a lot of vitamins, enzymes, amino acids and other components that benefit our body. Next, cover the spring form with parchment paper, and pour batter one at a time. Place an oven tray with some water just underneath the cake – it is baked on a water bath – for about an hour. In order for the top not to burn, cover the cake with some foil, but take it off during in the last 20 minutes of baking time in order to give it some colour. When the cake is ready, leave it in the oven with door slightly open for about 30 minutes. As this is partially a soufflé cake, this will prevent it from shrinking. Enjoy!

Cloud infrastructure security network at scale
The domain name system (DNS) is a foundational component of the internet — mapping names to IP addresses. When you click a link or type a URL, a DNS request initiates the process of connecting any device to the internet. For our cloud security platform, we use DNS as just one way to make connecting to the cloud not only simple and fast, but also secure.
We process billions of DNS requests from millions of users every day. Not only do we have data center locations around the world, but more importantly, we peer with the top internet service providers (ISPs) and content delivery networks (CDNs) to shorten the routes between every network in the world and our data centers — making your internet access even faster.
With our cloud infrastructure security we scale to support tens of thousands of concurrent enterprises and block millions of concurrent threats. In fact, we enforce 7 million unique malicious destinations at any given time. No appliance could scale to deliver this same efficacy.
When you connect to a cloud security platform, performance is critical. It cannot break or slow down your internet connection. To ensure reliability, we use Anycast routing— every data center announces the same IP address so that requests are transparently sent to the fastest available with automated failover. With Umbrella, you'll never experience downtime for maintenance and you don't need static routes to a primary and backup datacenters.
Umbrella won't add latency compared to your current provider. In fact, many customers see a boost in internet speed. Our peering partnerships with ISPs and CDNs provide shortcuts between every network. And Umbrella stores the responses to 90 million users' daily requests, and for most safe destinations, responds back immediately.
By performing everything in the cloud, there is no hardware to install, and no software to manually update. Just add 220.127.116.11 in one setting within your DNS servers, and every device on your network is covered. Or use your existing Cisco footprint — SD-WAN, ISR 1K and 4K Series, Meraki MR, and WLAN, to quickly provision security across hundreds of network devices. What about off-network? If you use Cisco AnyConnect, simply enable the Umbrella security module. If not, we have an agent that works with any VPN. And you can use the Cisco Security Connector app for iOS devices.
To start, Umbrella determines which customer the internet request belongs to, and which policy to enforce. Next, we determine if the destination — domain request and IP response — is (A) malicious, unwanted, or blacklisted; (B) safe or whitelisted; or (C) risky, meaning it hosts both malicious and safe content.
For type A destinations, we route the connection to a block page. For B, we route the connection as normal. And for C, we route the connection through our cloud-based proxy for deeper inspection. All requests are logged globally and immediately visible for your security teams to take action.
Traditionally, blocking web content at the URL level requires proxying all connections — which adds complexity and negatively impacts performance. With Umbrella, safe connections are allowed and malicious requests are blocked at the DNS-layer. Only requests to risky domains, which contain both malicious and legitimate content, are routed for deeper URL and file inspection. With Umbrella's intelligent proxy, users don't experience any slow or broken internet access.
One fear that IT has with the cloud is a loss of customization and control. Umbrella is an open platform that integrates with your in-house tools and third party solutions. Using our API, you can send local intelligence to Umbrella and enforce it globally in minutes. Additionally, you can query our threat intelligence using the Cisco Umbrella Investigate API and enrich security event data in your SIEM or other systems.

Watford 2 Middlesbrough 0: Troy Deeney and Odion Ighalo score
Last Updated: 06/04/15 6:12pm
Troy Deeney and Odion Ighalo scored as Watford struck a big blow in the Sky Bet Championship title race with a 2-0 win over Middlesbrough at Vicarage Road.
Middlesbrough moved back to the top of the table with a 1-0 win over Wigan on Friday, but they were knocked off the summit within three days by Watford, who moved into pole position themselves before being usurped by Bournemouth and Norwich later on Easter Monday.
After both sides had spent the opening exchanges sparring with each other, Watford had the first chance when Deeney headed an Ikechi Anya cross wide.
Boro's first effort on goal was an ambitious one as Grant Leadbitter tried to catch Heurelho Gomes out with a powerfully-struck free-kick from all of 40 yards, but the Hornets goalkeeper was able to get across to save.
It was the home side who gradually began to look the more threatening as the first half progressed and they twice went close to taking the lead shortly after the 20-minute mark.
Dimi Konstantopoulous was forced into a good save with his legs at the foot of his near post to keep out an Anya shot after the Scotland international had been played in by Ighalo.
Soon after, Gabriele Angella got up well to connect with his side's first corner of the match from the right, but his downward header went down and narrowly wide of the far post.
After Patrick Bamford had seen a shot deflected, Boro created their first clear opening when a George Friend cross picked out Lee Tomlin in space in the area, but he sent a first-time effort straight at Gomes.
But history was made in the 37th minute when Jonathan Woodgate was unable to rise high enough to cut out an Guedioura cross from the right and Deeney took one touch before sliding the ball beneath Konstantopoulos to become the first Watford player in history to score 20 or more goals in three successive seasons.
An under-pressure Albert Adomah shot into the side netting as Boro looked to get back on terms after the restart, but it was their opponents that were soon beginning to ask the majority of the attacking questions.
Ighalo fired at Konstantopoulos after turning his man on the edge of the penalty area before Daniel Tozser and Ben Watson both saw well-struck efforts deflected behind.
But in the 65th minute Watford doubled their advantage with a stunning second goal.
The ball was played into Ighalo on the edge of the 18-yard box from the left and the striker took a couple of touches to turn away from Woodgate and onto his left foot before unleashing a wonderful shot that flew past Konstantopoulos and into the far corner.
Guedioura almost made it 3-0 in equally impressive fashion with a cushioned lob from the edge of the area that was dipping in until it was superbly tipped behind by the Boro keeper.
Kike could have set up a grandstand finish when he raced through in the final minute of normal time, but Heurelho Gomes palmed away to make sure of the win.

For partners that build or integrate commercially available applications and service solutions with the Oracle Cloud Platform
For partners that provide implementation or managed services around Oracle Cloud Applications
For self service procurement if trying to crate a new requisition through "Shop by Category" getting items only for one particular BU. Analysis done and found issue is with content zone. In content zone at security level, Able to see only one requisition BU if i select radio button "Secured by requisition BU is selected". Unable to find all requisition BU's except one.
Sai Pradeep
Were you expecting to see Ames as a Requisitioning BU value in the list of choices? That BU has a different Procurement BU (Ames) from what I see in the screenshots.
The list of Requisitioning BU's that you are expected to see when defining the Content Security all have to belong to the same Procurement BU. I I noticed Savage US is both a requisitioning and procurement BU but does that have any other Requisitioning BU's associated with it?
Can you share a screenshot in Production of the Manage Business Unit page where you can confirm Savage US is the service provider for all of these BUs and do the same in the instance where you are not seeing all these BUs?
Sorry, this is not the page I asked for. From the Manage Business Unit, select Savage US business unit. In the Search Results table, select that row and click Actions > View Service Clients. In the Production Instance, I expect to see all of the BU's you listed in the screenshot to be listed as clients. Now do the same check on the other instance where you say you are not able to see all BU's in the list of Requisitioning BUs.
Hi Ashok,
I missed Adding Savage US BU to manage service provider for other BU's. Now i added then and in Content zone Security i can able to see all BU's. But when i search "shop by Category" i cannot able to see none. But same in PROD if i search i can able to see products.
Shop by category in Prod and Dev. Why no result in Dev?
Current procurement BU for which you are creating content zone if you have service provider relationship defined with other BUs as requisition BU then you will able to see multiple requisition BUs for secure by requisition BU option.
If no service provider relationship and same BU enabled as Req and Proc BU then,
Ok, so we have resolved one problem. This was a setup issue as I suspected.
I believe the next issue you brought up is also a set up issue. I also assume you are familiar with setting these up?
Have you seen the setup in Manage Catalog Category Hierarchy and compared the setup between Production and Dev instances? I assume you are aware that you have to setup Browsing Categories and assign Item Categories within and then you start to see items based on your Content Zone security. I would start looking there to triage this.
Good. Please mark the appropriate post as Answered so other customers can easily look for the solution if they are interested.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD, is an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to a terrifying event or ordeal in which grave physical harm occurred or was threatened. Traumatic events that may trigger PTSD include violent personal assaults, natural or human-caused disasters, accidents, or military combat.
He graduated from bomb-dog school in Virginia. He could hunt and tolerate gunfire. He could sniff out explosives, including the homemade ammonium-nitrate fertilizer bombs that inflict most allied casualties in Afghanistan. But he was skittish even before he arrived in the combat zone in October and was posted to a front-line battalion.

Hellraiser: Hellseeker (2002)
Directed by Rick Bota
Writing credits Clive Barker Carl V. Dupré
Dean Winters.... Trevor Gooden
Ashley Laurence.... Kirsty Cotton
Doug Bradley.... Pinhead/Merchant (as Charles Stead)
Rachel Hayward.... Dr. Allison
Pinhead becomes an afterthought in another confusing "Hellraiser" sequel. But funny enough, I still liked it. It's basically the story of a guy who has a lot of weird things happen to him. So the question the movie ponders is, "Why is all this weird stuff happening to him?" Since the name of the movie is "Hellraiser", it's a good bet that Pinhead is involved.
My favorite "Hellraiser" is still part 2, Hellbound. For me, "Hellraiser" is and should be S&M horror. Part 2 was brutally violent in its depiction of Hell. The whole S&M vibe fits hand in glove with the punishments of Hell. So now the most wicked get aroused by the beatings and torture that the Cenobites give out.
Pinhead needs more screen time. He is the Hell the people seek. I liked this flick though. Dean Winters was really good at conveying desperation and uncertainty. But still, Pinhead is the star. I would have liked to have seen more of the Prince of Darkness.
SCORE: 2 out of 4 Pinheads

Placing the Heart of God in the Hearts of People
Kids Clubhouse
The Kids Clubhouse is where the TVBC Preschoolers go for Children's Church every Sunday morning after they are dismissed from worship with their parents. This gives them an opportunity for their own age appropriate Children's Church.
The puppet stage introduces them to interactive talking characters.They love to hang out in their playhouse. They learn Bible stories and truths through hands-on activities.
Each week your child will bring home a Lil-K map as a part of their morning program. This map is designed for the parents to use in furthering their study.It's a great way to get the parents and children talking about God and reinforcing at home what was taught at church.
It's remarkable how much these young preschoolers remember each week from their class.

The TWC TV app suddenly says I am away from home when, in fact, I am home on my TWC network. I have never had this issue before and have not changed anything in my setup. Is there a quick fix for this?
Solved! Go to Solution.
When this message is displayed that means the billing system is not able to verify the IP address you are
using as connected to your home. The system is out of sync.
The process that normally will correct this is to unplug the power to your modem and if you are using a router you would want to unplug that also.
Please plug back in modem, after the modem completely reboots please plug in the power to your router.
After the router reboots, log back into the App. This should take care of it. If not please contact us
for further research.

unplug both the cable box and the modem.
Maybe your problem is solved now, but I've had this happen as well on my iPad, and when it happens, I turn off Wi-Fi on the iPad, then turn it back on to log back into my wi-fi and then everything is OK.
i logged out, closed the router, opened again -- and it doesn't help. please help

Jubilee is serious. Not the idea of a jubilee, of course; that is about fun and celebration and maybe someone playing a fiddle and maybe someone walking on stilts. (We do not recommend doing the two latter activities simultaneously, although we suspect it can be done.)
But jubilee itself is a big, outsized concept. And the annual Silver Lake Jubilee is a big festival. So the term fits the occasion. Speaking of fitting, however, we're scratching our noggins about how all of the good rocking and reading-aloud-ing and cartooning and food-trucking that is promised will fit into a single weekend. The weekend in question? Saturday, May 21 and Sunday, May 22
Just. Look at all the names and groups and happenings packed onto this poster. It's the most packed poster we've seen in some time (not that we keep track of how often we see a truly info-rich poster, but this one has to be in the top ten, easy.)
Soulful chanteuse Mia Doi Todd, word-loving 826LA, and space-smart JPL are just some of the interesting participants listed. A beer garden will be an interesting place to relax and enjoy the liquid arts. The interesting meeting spot of Sunset and Santa Monica Boulevard is the interesting location (under the bridge, note).
Are you feeling the jubilee? Full force? We wouldn't be surprised if, one year, the organizers got excited and added "hootenanny" after jubilee. It would still work.

Product 112/224
Robert Parker: 95 PointseRobertParker.com #215
Oct 2014 Robert M. Parker, Jr. 95 Drink: 2017 - 2042 $398
A selection of the best barrels of this wine, representing only 110 cases or basically 41/2 barrels, is the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard Colesworthy. This is largely Clone 337, aged 20 months in 100% new Darnajou. This is deep, rich, full, backward and not quite as easy to access as its sibling, although at some point the Schraders and Thomas Brown thought these were the best barrels from Las Piedras. It seems to share much of its siblings opaque purple color, lots of coffee, blackberry and cassis fruit, charcoal and graphite, but seems to also require more bottle age to round into shape. Forget it for 3-4 years and drink it over the following 20-25 years.

Kia Super Bowl 2013 Ad has a fun parenting theme and a new ad already gives us some idea about the 60 second Kia Super Bowl 2013 ad.
Kia unveiled the plans for the Kia Super Bowl 2013 Ad. The car maker will present the new 2014 Kia Sorento in their Super Bowl commercial. Parenting can present challenging moments that require quick thinking and expedient solutions, and Kia Motors America (KMA) has launched a new three-part ad series that demonstrates how the brand's redesigned 2014 Sorento CUV can help Mom and Dad take on the day.
In the first 30-second spot, titled "Tight Space," (watch it below) parental creativity is in high gear when two of the Sorento's available features – power-folding mirrors and power liftgate – help a determined father make the slimmest parking garage space manageable while his skeptical wife and children look on. Kia has been one of America's fastest-growing car companies over the last five years, and the U.S.-built 2014 Sorento is one of seven all-new or significantly redesigned vehicles scheduled to arrive in showrooms this year.
"The Sorento has been one of our best-selling vehicles each of the last three years and the 'It Has an Answer for Everything™' campaign offers a fun, lighthearted look at the human truths parents face every day while showcasing features and technologies that can provide assistance in even the most challenging situations," said Michael Sprague, executive vice president of marketing & communications, KMA. "'Tight Space' serves as the introduction to the redesigned Sorento, and when the next spot airs in the Super Bowl it will present an answer to an age-old question that has left generations of parents stuttering and searching carefully for words to help them escape an awkward yet truthful situation."
Created by David&Goliath, KMA's advertising agency of record, the Sorento "Tight Space" spot was directed by Peter Darley Miller and Colin Jeffery.
The Super Bowl 2013 will take place on Sunday, February 3, 2013 in New Orleans.

Ambit's story is, above all, one about people. People who share a common vision of building the finest, most-respected retail energy provider in the world.
We hope reading the Ambit Story helps you understand Ambit Energy, as well as the men and women who've made it what it is today – an incredibly successful company built on integrity and respect.
Let's begin.
It used to be that all aspects of residential energy service were controlled by incumbent monopolies.
But as customer demand for a choice and opportunity grew, laws were introduced that broke up the outdated system, allowing competition and giving customers the right to choose their energy provider.
In 1996, New York and California were first to set the pace and open deregulated markets to business and consumers. The next year, Pennsylvania and Illinois make the switch. Soon they are joined by Massachusetts (1998), Maryland and New Jersey (1999), Connecticut (2000), Washington D.C. (2001) and Texas (2002).
Learn more about deregulation
Ever wonder how deregulation started? This fun, simple video helps explain it:
Chris Chambless
Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Ambit Energy
Chris brings more than 15 years of corporate direct-selling experience to Ambit Energy. He was a senior executive at Excel Communications, which became a multi-billion-dollar publicly traded telecom company and one of the fastest-growing companies in U.S. history.
More recently, as the Vice President of Marketing at VarTec Telecom, he was responsible for all aspects of the company's marketing strategy, including brand development, channel integration strategy, sales management and new product development.
Jere Thompson, Jr.
Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Ambit Energy
Jere comes from a strong legacy of innovation and iconic American success. His grandfather was the founder of the Southland Corporation – better known today as 7-Eleven.
By 1992, Jere had already earned a name for himself as a respected leader for the telecommunications industry through the deregulation years. He founded CapRock Fiber Networks to build fiber and broadband networks across Texas. As CEO, he guided CapRock into new markets, took the company public and managed its growth from infancy to 1,300 employees and $300 million in annual revenue.
From the beginning, Jere and Chris recognized that the surest way to maintain loyal, consistent Customers was to operate as a direct-selling company with Independent Consultants building relationships and driving new business. Today, Ambit remains a company built on personal relationships.
May 15, 2006
The four members of the corporate team and six original call center agents move into an open, renovated warehouse in Downtown Dallas's West End district – a space that still serves as Ambit's headquarters today.
To foster an environment of open communication and accountability, the office space is cleared of dividing walls and barriers.
To reduce costs and preserve capital, executives skip the traditional office desks and furniture, and instead work from simple, $19 folding tables. Ambit executives continue to use these same tables today.
Ambit's rapid growth brings unique challenges. That drives Ambit's IT team to create a custom Customer Care and billing platform from the ground up. BlueNet® has provided a qualitative and competitive edge that has helped Ambit build an award-winning history of Customer service.
John Burke's DART Heist
Ambit begins providing service to Customers, starting with the first official Customers, Jere's mother and father. They also get the first bill.
One day as Chief Information Officer John Burke rode the DART Light Rail into work, he sat with his laptop, as he often did, entering complex code for Ambit's core systems. Suddenly, as the doors opened, a man rushed by, swiped John's laptop (along with John's only copy of all of his work for Ambit) and dashed off the train.
Since starting with Ambit in 2006, John has been recognized as one of the top technology leaders in the country by Information Week and Computer World magazines. But fortunately, it was John's years of ice hockey experience that really paid off that day as he chased the man down, tackled him to the pavement, took back his laptop and still made it back on the train before the doors closed.
Yeah, we were impressed, too.
Early August – the first four New Consultant Kits are shipped to the "Founding Four" Consultants.
And to ensure the company has a solid foundation, they adopt the motto: Never sacrifice integrity for growth.
Jere and Chris set a goal for Ambit to become
We reached $1 million in revenue our first year.
Thanks to careful expansion and a growing list of talented Consultants, we reached $1 billion in 2013.
We're about more than energy. We're about people. The people who work here, the Customers who chose us as their energy provider, and the entrepreneurial Independent Consultants building their dream – all working together as we strive to become the finest and most-respected retail energy provider in the world. It's all about our commitment to each other and to ourselves, and this commitment that has been recognized by many. As a result, we've been honored with a variety of exceptional awards:
A History of Recognition
Ambit's most powerful and proven ways of bolstering consistent and thriving Consultant success is through unforgettable annual events such as our annual Simulcast kickoff in January and the big one, AMBITION – our incredible annual conference that empowers thousands and drives excitement and business growth all year long.
Learn what happened this year
AMBITION 2017 celebrated Ambit's new status as a truly international company as we welcomed Consultants from across America and as far away as Japan to our most important event of the year. The theme of international growth continued as we announced our expansion north of the border. In November 2017, Ambit Energy Canada will begin offering service in the province of Alberta. This new market will add up to 1.1 million potential gas Customers and more than 200,000 potential electric Customers.
We also announced important steps to secure further growth in the United States. We're rolling out several important new products in Texas, enabling us to better serve Customers in what is our largest domestic market. Additionally, we're making it possible for our Pennsylvania Consultants to start earning commissions on large commercial accounts in the same way Consultants in Texas and Illinois do.
We introduced a company-wide brand update that covers our logo, corporate colors, typefaces, trademarks and products. Our new look reflects our status as a worldwide company, yet re-emphasizes the personal connections and face-to-face interactions that set us apart from other energy retailers.
Of course, we took time to honor the accomplishments of our amazing Consultants. We introduced the Horizon Award, given to the Consultant who looks beyond current circumstances to a future of hope and prosperity and is willing to sacrifice to make those dreams come true. We also welcomed new members to our Millionaire Club, our $10 Million Club and the $20 Million Club as well as creating the new $30 Million Club level. The tradition of helping our Consultants succeed continued, with outstanding speakers, training sessions and networking opportunities.
When a Consultant has earned more than $1 million, he or she becomes a member of the Millionaire Club—complete with a tailored yellow sports coat. Currently, the Millionaire Club has more than two dozen very happy members. For more information please visit ambitsuccess.comThe Millionaire Club> $5 Million Club> $10 Million Club> $15 Million Club> $20 Million Club> $30 Million Club> Ambit Opportunity>
For achieving earnings of over $5 million, Consultants get a special purple sports coat and membership in the $5 Million Club. Incredibly, membership in this exclusive organization continues to grow. For more information please visit ambitsuccess.comThe Millionaire Club> $5 Million Club> $10 Million Club> $15 Million Club> $20 Million Club> $30 Million Club> Ambit Opportunity>
The success of our Consultants continues to grow, forcing us to add ever-higher levels of recognition to honor their success. Consultants who have achieved earnings in excess of $10 million receive a distinctive gray-and-purple jacket to signify their amazing accomplishment. For more information please visit ambitsuccess.comThe Millionaire Club> $5 Million Club> $10 Million Club> $15 Million Club> $20 Million Club> $30 Million Club> Ambit Opportunity>
Our Consultants consistently achieve new levels of success, shattering ceilings and reaching new milestones. The $15 Million Club honors those Consultants who have hit this impressive total, which is also recognized with a blue jacket. For more information please visit ambitsuccess.comThe Millionaire Club> $5 Million Club> $10 Million Club> $15 Million Club> $20 Million Club> $30 Million Club> Ambit Opportunity>
The $20 Million Club is an exceptional level of success only a select few obtain. Consultants who have reached this milestone are presented with a custom-tailored black-and-platinum jacket as a symbol of their incredible accomplishment. For more information visit ambitsuccess.comThe Millionaire Club> $5 Million Club> $10 Million Club> $15 Million Club> $20 Million Club> $30 Million Club> Ambit Opportunity>
The highest and rarest accomplishment Ambit recognizes, the $30 Million Club represents the pinnacle of leadership, service and dedication. Those who reach this level are honored with a custom-tailored jacket with a unique crest. To learn more, visit ambitsuccess.comThe Millionaire Club> $5 Million Club> $10 Million Club> $15 Million Club> $20 Million Club> $30 Million Club> Ambit Opportunity>
One of the best things about Ambit is that you get to define your own version of success, no matter the goal.The Millionaire Club> $5 Million Club> $10 Million Club> $15 Million Club> $20 Million Club> $30 Million Club> Ambit Opportunity>
We know our products are good. But it's our Consultants and Ambit Customer Care agents who make them amazing. We think that's why we've already surpassed a million active Customers who have made the switch – and we're only getting started.
What kind of energy company gives its product away for free? A smart one, as it turns out. Because our program of giving free energy to people who bring us 15 or more customers helped us become one of America's fastest-growing companies.
If you've enjoyed this story, and think you might be able to create one of your own, just contact your local Ambit Energy Independent Consultant and learn more. It just might change your life.
Watch this movie to learn more about the Ambit opportunity.

Sarah Hyland at the Emmys 2012
Emmys: Sarah Hyland
Modern Family's Sarah Hyland didn't just look gorgeous in her feminine Marchesa gown — she also helped to design the dress. The result of her project was an ultrafeminine, soft gray gown that complemented her curves with its romantic draping and exuded red-carpet glamour with glittering embellishments at the sleeves and neckline. As if that wasn't enough sparkle, Sarah furthered the effect with a sequined purse and floral studs. Thoughts?

Our prayers go out to Bobbi Kristina, the daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown. According to reports, she was found unconscious in her home this morning. Here's what TMZ is reporting:
Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown's daughter was found unconscious in a bathtub in her home, and taken to a hospital where she is now breathing, reports TMZ.
Bobbi Kristina Brown's husband Nick Gordon and a friend found her in the tub, according to police in Roswell, GA. We're told her husband and friend immediately started CPR on her … until police and paramedics arrived.
We're told police took over life-saving measures on the scene, and then she was taken by ambulance to a hospital.
Doctors have now stabilized her breathing, and we're told she is in ICU.
Still unclear why Bobbi fell unconscious. We're told a friend made the call to 911 from Bobbi's house.
The circumstances are especially eerie — Whitney died in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton on February 11, 2012

An Akimbo Workshop with Alex DiPalma
Not as a way to make big dollars (blogging didn't do that either). But as a way to share your ideas, to lead your community, to earn trust.
Podcasting is a proven technology that is still in its infancy. It's an open mic, a chance for people with something to say to find a few people (or perhaps more than a few people) who'd like to hear them say it.
And podcasting is the generous act of showing up, earning trust and authority because you care enough to raise your hand and speak up.
Seth Godin and Alex DiPalma ran The Podcast Fellowship twice in 2018. We were thrilled at the results. Here's what our latest batch of students had to say about TPF:
Nearly 1000 people have completed the first two sessions of The Podcast Fellowship, and the creativity was electric. People from all over the world, from 18 years old to 60, learned how to create a podcast they could be proud of. They didn't just learn. They did it.
Learning the technology is the easy part. It's the peer support, the community and the bias for shipping that really matter.
So many people have asked us to repeat the fellowship, we're going to run it one more time.
Seth has said before that his decision to blog is one of the best he's ever made for his career, for the work he does, and most of all, for his continued posture of teaching and leaping. If you've considered that this might be your moment to leap into this still-new medium, we hope you'll consider investing in The Podcast Fellowship and joining Alex, her coaches and Seth in this 35 day journey together.
In all of my years of schooling, I did not experience such joy in learning as I did in TPF. I was safe — no, encouraged — to be wrong. My colleagues brought out the best in me. I made something I'm proud of. I'm unstoppable and energized. Thank you.
The Podcast Fellowship will teach you, inspire you and connect you to peers who will help you bring your work to fruition. In as little as 20 minutes to an hour each day, you can learn to make a podcast.
With podcast episodes, videos, personalized exercises and discussion from Seth and Alex, TPF provides the tools and resources you need to take the leap and create your own podcast.
The Podcast Fellowship has simply changed my life. Alexandra DiPalma and Seth Godin are the most generous mentors anyone could hope for and the cohort is beyond supportive. I have always been skeptical of online courses and have found them difficult to commit to. However, I not only committed to TPF but found myself flourishing through the course. After years of fighting resistance and hesitation, TPF gave me the tools and permission to create my own work and believe in my own voice. I cannot recommend TPF enough.
The Fellowship has dedicated coaches, who will help focus your energy on building your skills. There's no 1:1 time with Seth or Alex (although we encourage you to ask us questions directly!)… even better, there's the dynamic of interacting with others on the same journey, an ongoing discussion among people who are seeking to make change happen by telling stories that resonate.
The best time to begin is right now.
I've been blogging weekly for 6 years. When I decided to do TPF, I needed a roadmap and a supportive community. I'm an education cynic. TPF is the best kind of adult education. It was perfect. It's amazing that the roadmap works for total novices. I learned as much from my fellow podcasters as I did from Seth, Alex and the coaches. If you're considering the fellowship: DO IT.
TPF is for anyone who seeks to improve communication skills, develop a new creative outlet, share stories, and make change happen. Graduates include entrepreneurs, freelancers, artists, non-profit teachers, business-people, and writers.
The Fellowship serves everyone from freelancers to CEOs, from non-profit fundraisers to political organizers. It's not designed for a specific role or title. It's designed for people who want to show up, raise their hand and speak up. Is that you?
There is no such thing as falling behind in TPF. The course is designed so that you can participate daily, but you don't have to be there every day. Each weekday, we publish a lesson. But if you prefer to go at your own pace, that's completely fine too. The TPF forum is open for a full two months after the final day of the course. That's a total of about 100 days.
Because the conversations are ongoing, it's easy to go at your own pace. The time you invest in TPF will be repaid by the feedback you give and get from others—and there's no pressure to engage every day. Our hope is that as you discover the power of this shared learning experience, it will be easier to find the time.
The fourth round of TPF begins on August 12th. Sign up for our mailing list to be notified immediately when we announce.

I did these 'scribbles' posts for a couple of days, then nothing. I didn't stop typing them up – I just didn't write any in the first place. Now that I am scribbling again, I'm doing it in a different place. I'm experimenting with using my Mini Filofax again. It's a bit of a trade-off, as these things so often are. The area of paper to write on is quite a bit smaller than in a Moleskine, so I'm using a lot more pages. On the other hand, though, the paper is better, and I can have separate sections for other things. I'm not keeping a real GTD system at the moment, but it's still useful to have some lists, like a wish list and a shopping list.
It's quite possible I'll be back to the Moleskine within a day or two, or that I'll try to stretch my jeans pocket to cram in my Pocket Filofax. I have a worrying amount of fun trying them, though, and that's the important thing.

Known globally as the California winery that surprised the world when it won the white wine blind tasting at the historic "Judgment of Paris" wine competition back in 1976 with their now fabled Chardonnay; Chateau Montelena is a must visit when exploring Napa Valley. This long shot victory put the winery, California wines and Napa Valley in general on the global wine map, forever changing the way people viewed wines that were being produced in the New World. Upon arrival to such a storied place and just walking through the front gate, one feels as if they are instantly transported thousands of miles away from California's Napa Valley to the sprawling French countryside.
After passing through the magnificent courtyard, visitors climb a long set of stairs and enter the opulent chateau, which is where the Tasting Room is located. Visitors have the opportunity to select between two types of tastings: the Current Wine Tasting and the Library Wine Tasting. The Current Wine Tasting includes a rotating mix of red and white wines from their Current Library (usually a Chardonnay, a Cabernet Sauvignon, an Estate Cabernet and a Zinfandel), while the Library Wine Tasting includes some of their special reserve wines, which are sampled in their intimate Library Room. During either of the wine tastings, friendly servers are on hand to provide detailed and intimate knowledge of the grape varietals. While visiting, be sure to check out Jade Lake with its beautiful Chinese Pagoda and footbridge located on the premises. |Chateau Montelena|

Destroying private health insurance was always the goal
Put on your shocked faces: The first Catholic college has announced it is dropping its student health insurance plan in the wake of the White House refusal to repeal the religious liberty-sabotaging Obamacare birth control/abortion mandate.
Life News has the scoop:
Franciscan University appears to be the first casualty of the new Obama HHS mandate that requires Catholic colleges, groups and businesses to pay for drugs that may cause abortions and birth control for their employees.
Although President Barack Obama declared "If you like your health care coverage you can keep it," when it came to passing Obamacare, a Catholic college in Ohio has determined it will no longer offer a student health insurance plan.
"The Obama Administration has mandated that all health insurance plans must cover "women's health services" including contraception, sterilization, and abortion-causing medications as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA)," the university says in a new post on its website. "Up to this time, Franciscan University has specifically excluded these services and products from its student health insurance policy, and we will not participate in a plan that requires us to violate the consistent teachings of the Catholic Church on the sacredness of human life."
More from the school's website:
Due to these changes in regulation by the federal government, beginning with the 2012-13 school year, the University 1) will no longer require that all full-time undergraduate students carry health insurance, 2) will no longer offer a student health insurance plan, and 3) will no longer bill those not covered under a parent/guardian plan or personal plan for student health insurance. The current student health insurance plan will expire on August 15, 2012.
Destroying private health insurance was always the goal of health care "reform".
