Capital is an essential measurement of an institution's financial fortitude. It acts as a buffer against losses and affords protection for members when a credit union is struggling financially. From a safety and soundness perspective, the more capital, the better.
MUNCIE finished below the national average of 15.65 on our test to measure the adequacy of a credit union's capital, achieving a score of 14 out of a possible 30 points.
MUNCIE's capitalization ratio of 14.00 percent in our test was less than the average for all credit unions, suggesting that it's weaker than its peers.
This test is intended to estimate how the credit union's loan loss reserves and overall capitalization could be affected by problem assets, such as unpaid mortgages.
Having extensive holdings of these types of assets suggests a credit union may have to use capital to absorb losses, decreasing its equity cushion. Many of those assets are also likely to be in non-accrual status and no longer earning interest for the credit union, decreasing earnings and elevating the chances of a failure in the future.
MUNCIE scored 40 out of a possible 40 points on Bankrate's test of asset quality, beating the national average of 38.09.
A lower-than-average ratio of problem assets of 0.00 percent in our test was potentially indicative of superior financial strength compared to other credit unions.
How successful a credit union is at earning money affects its safety and soundness. Earnings can be retained by the credit union, giving a boost to its capital buffer, or be used to deal with problematic loans, likely making the credit union more resilient in times of trouble. Losses, on the other hand, lessen a credit union's ability to do those things.
MUNCIE scored 2 out of a possible 30 on Bankrate's earnings test, less than the national average of 10.11.
MUNCIE had an earnings ratio of 0.00 percent in our test, better than the average for all credit unions, suggesting that it's doing better than its peers in this area.
Bankrate.com's Safe & Sound Ratings provide a star rating system to evaluate the current financial status of financial institutions. The information gathered about banks, credit unions and thrifts is updated as set forth in the Terms of Use of Safe & Sound Ratings and Reports. The Safe & Sound Ratings information is grouped by categories of banks, thrifts and credit unions.
Bankrate.com evaluates the financial condition of institutions and assigns a one- to five-star rating for each with five stars representing the highest rating. Institutions with satisfactory performance will generally receive a rating of three or more stars. The majority of institutions fall into the three- to four-star range. An institution with an "NR" rating may be too new to rate or may have limited the publicly available information in their regulatory filings. The "NR" is not an indication of financial strength or weakness. The Safe & Sound rating is believed to be reliable, but the information is not guaranteed. In addition, events since the information was collected may have altered the institution's financial condition.

Here Are Some Great Tips To Help You Succeed At Losing Weight.
Although weight loss is a slow process, you'll get where you want to go as you stick with your program. The piece that follows includes several tips and ideas to help you lose the weight you desire and developing the figure you want.
Healthy Breakfast
If you want one of the most important ways to lose weight, then always eat a healthy breakfast. This will keep your metabolism in check, and you won't be tempted to reach for an unhealthy mid-morning snack. Consistently eating a healthy breakfast allows your body to understand that it won't need to store food as fat, thus leading to more loss.
The people who have the most success in losing weight are the ones who know how to enjoy their exercise routine. Regular physical activity is an important part of any healthy weight loss plan. Workout to a video game, go for a walk with a friend or play outside with the children.
Try to celebrate each milestone in weight loss, no matter the size. Have a massage, take an extra yoga class or enjoy a healthy treat. This process will help you stay excited about your weight loss goals.
Adding whole grains to your diet is important when it comes to losing weight. You can find information about the best whole grain choices to consume from a dietician or by doing a quick search online. Opt for foods that have not been enriched or refined. Most companies have whole grains listed on their packaging making these products easier to find in the stores.
Hang out with active people. When you are around people that stay active, you are more apt to be that way yourself. On the other hand, lazy couch potatoes can have a bad influence on your weight loss efforts.
Don't eat a snack before bed. This food just isn't metabolized overnight. It's going to turn into fat and get stored as such while you sleep. Eat dinner a couple hours before you go to sleep.
Losing weight can be defined as a series of equations, if you are interested. About 3,500 calories equal a pound of fat. If you wish to lose a pound, just burn 3500 calories over what you're eating. It is useful to think of this amount in 500 calorie chunks, working to burn 500 more calories than you eat every day. By taking it bit by bit, you will lose a pound a week in no time.
If you wish to lose some weight and like to drink coffee, then it's good to try decaf. Decaf coffee is much better than regular because it is lower in calories and contains less caffeine. Additionally, this coffee has a good supply of healthy antioxidants to help your body perform well.
Weight Loss Progress
If you are working on a weight loss plan, you should try to weigh yourself every week. In this way, you can keep track of your weight loss progress. Track your weight loss progress with a notebook. Those who monitor their progress in this way are more likely to lose weight.
Make sure you're not skipping meals. Make sure to consume three regular sized meals or five small meals each day. Of course you should eat small, sensible snacks between meals, but be careful not to spoil your appetite for your real meal! This helps produce a harmony to your body for top functionality.
Weight loss is quite simple if you know the basics. You need to use more calories than the ones you're taking in. Calories supply your body with energy. Weight loss occurs when you burn calories more than you eat.
Losing weight is possible when you decide to go for it. We hope that this article has given you ample information to begin losing weight and becoming your best self. It is a matter of mind over matter!

NBC wins Wednesday, but ABC challenges
Most of the key ratings categories Wednesday night went to NBC's lineup of Ed, The West Wing and Law & Order, according to Nielsen
Media Research fast affiliate ratings.
ABC was second with strong performances from its 8 o.m. to 9 p.m. EST comedy block
(My Wife & Kids and George Lopez) and The Bachelor 2.
The ABC sitcoms and Bachelor took the key adult demos (18 through 34, 25
through 54 and 18 through 49), although Law & Order's dominant
performance gave NBC a win for the night in those demos.
At 10 p.m., the two new medical dramas on CBS and ABC continued to split
pretty evenly the audience not interested in Law & Order. CBS'
Presidio Med had a slight circulation advantage and did better with
adults 25 through 54 and older. ABC's MDs did slightly better with adults
18 through 49 and 18 through 34.
Fox continued to bide its time with repeats until the World Series kicks in
Saturday night.
For the night, households: NBC 10.2 rating/17 share, ABC 7.0/11, CBS
6.2/10 and Fox 3.5/6.
Adults 18 through 49: NBC 5.1/14, ABC 4.6/12, CBS 3.2/8 and Fox

Australian-Made Animation Bolsters Line-Up Down Under
This just in! Four Australian-made animation projects will join Cartoon Network's regional programming line-up in 2016, sitting alongside originals like We Bare Bears, The Powerpuff Girls, Adventure Time and Ben 10.
Two short-form comedy series commissioned by Cartoon Network are The Sketchy Show and Bill & Tony while a short Lasso & Comet will soon go into production, and a pilot for Monster Beach: The Series (pictured above) has also been greenlit, off the back of the successful telemovie of the same name.
Another animated series slated for debut next year is Exchange Student Zero (Cartoon Network's first full-length Australian-made series). Fans can also expect content across digital platforms like Cartoon Network Anything and Cartoon Network Watch and Play.
"We're looking to build on our success with Exchange Student Zero and Monster Beach, and develop even more Australia-made content using our 'virtual studio model' approach," said Mark Eyers, Chief Content Officer for Turner's kids' channels in Asia Pacific, including Cartoon Network and Boomerang. "The level of professionalism of the creators, the creative culture and understanding of comedy animation that can be exported around the world, are all reasons for tapping into this impressive talent pool."

Almost everyone has heard of the big mobile companies in America or at the very least seen their logos: AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint. Their brands are nearly impossible to miss. In this article, we'll take a look at how TruConnect, founded only 7 years ago, stacks up against the 'Big 4' in terms of coverage and in terms of prepaid phone plans.
First, the coverage maps of the 'Big 4':
And now the TruConnect Coverage Map:
Things to notice:
- TruConnect covers all areas with a high population density
- TruConnect's coverage map is not drastically different from the others
- Gaps in coverage are normal across all mobile companies
Before we take a look at the prepaid plans, it is important to note that the goals of all of these companies are not all the same. TruConnect, by design, does not offer some of the bigger unlimited data plans that the 'Big 4' do. Instead, we have catered our plans to be easy, cheap, and flexible in order to appeal to the needs of the large population of low-income consumers in the United States. We continually seek to do our part in bridging the digital divide that currently exists within the United States.
Without a further note, let's look at how the 'Big 4' prepaid plans stack up against TruConnect's prepaid plans:
And now TruConnect's phone plans:
Things to notice:
- TruConnect's $25/mo plan gives you more data than the $30/mo (with autopay) from AT&T and Verizon
- TruConnect's plans go all the way down to $5, providing the cheapest plan by far of all the companies
- The 'Big 4' provide better plans if you go through a ton of data a month
One takeaway might be that TruConnect's plans are clearly built for the average person who doesn't need or use a lot of data a month. Another takeaway might be that TruConnect's plans are lacking because a 'big data user' is the thing to be in this modern age of social media. But the ultimate takeaway from this article should be that if you're looking for not only cheap but flexible phone plans, TruConnect has got you covered, literally.

Save to My Good Food
- For the pork:
- 400g tenderloin of pork
- 6-8 rashers good quality streaky bacon
- For the stuffing
- breadcrumbs from 4 slices white bread
- 2 small onions, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- about 5 sage leaves, chopped
- 60g butter
- 1 tbsp sunflower or other cooking oil (not olive)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- zest of 1/4 lemon
- For the creamy mushroom sauce:
- 200g mushrooms, finely sliced
- 1 bay leaf
- a few black peppercorns
- 1 tsp english mustard
- 1 dessert spoon vegetable or sunflower oil
- 20g butter
- 250ml white wine
- 100ml vegetable stock
- 150ml double cream
- First, make the stuffing. Melt the butter with the oil in a large non-stick frying pan on medium heat.
- Add the onions and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally - until the onions are translucent and soft. Add the sage, thyme, lemon juice and lemon zest and stir.
- Turn the heat down a little and gradually add the breadcrumbs, stirring continuously so they absorb the butter and bulk up the mixture. If the breadcrumbs are too dry and there is no more butter to absorb, add a little more butter and melt it in. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and allow to cool.
- Cut a slit about 3/4 of the way into the pork loins, along their full length. Flatten out in order to fill this pocket with the stuffing
- Position the rashers of bacon side-by-side on a lightly greased large baking tray. The idea is that the bacon should be the length of the loin, so 6-8 depending on the sizes. Place the slit tenderloin on top of them. Fill the pocket with the stuffing mixture.
- Close up the loin bit by bit by stretching the bacon and using it to seal up the pork. Try and get the join underneath the loin to keep it closed. Do this all the way along until the pork is wrapped up like a big parcel
- Roast in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for 20-25 minutes, turning over halfway through. The bacon should be just crispy. Leave to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- For the sauce: Heat the oil and butter in a pan and sautee the mushrooms for about 5 minutes
- Add the white wine, bay leaf & peppercorns and boil rapidly to reduce by half .Add the vegetable stock and cook for a further 5 minutes on a medium heat.
- Stir in the mustard and then the cream. Season well. Simmer gently for 5 minutes. Serve the sauce around the pork

I'm my mother's son. Yesterday K. kindly let me put the decorations up. I spend every November awaiting the start of December, fidgeting in my seat like a little kid in need of a wee. Christmas lunch with my Granddad last week for his birthday finally made her acquiesce to a slightly early start to the festive season and I got the boxes of rubbish out of the loft. Those who celebrate advent in all its religious significance—or have one of those Blue Peter candelabras made from coathangers—would agree that today was the first day of the festive period anyway, so yesterday was pretty much Advent-eve.
Armed with a glass of sherry and some fold-up steps I completely Christmassed our front room, with tinsel, lights and a tree (the sherry is essential to the procedure of putting Christmas decorations up according to my Mum.) We put Christmas songs on and performed the traditional task of skipping over Spike Jones's … Two Front Teeth and the slightly warbly recording of The Birthday of a King by Judy Garland. It was great.
Later we'll be making mince pies. If Santa Claus doesn't actually come over when we're getting them out of the oven I'll be very disappointed.

Digital asset management has become an essential tool for any organization that works with digital assets. In other words, this includes just about any company that has an Internet presence and carries out marketing campaigns that use social media sites, email newsletters, or online videos. Organizations that aren't very aware of DAM software eventually end up looking for it when they start to have problems managing their digital assets. Issues involving bandwidth, duplication of assets, and difficulties in finding assets become inevitable as videos and images accumulate.
Realization of the need for a DAM system is a first, big step in finding the right DAM solution, but many organizations have trouble moving forward with the next step. As they begin to look into options, companies quickly realize that finding the right DAM solution isn't as straightforward as they had hoped. Dozens of vendors sell different types of DAM products and use unfamiliar jargon. A lot of them seem to have features that might be useful, but it's still hard to pinpoint the best DAM system. With new applications and DAM systems making it to market, it seems like the more you investigate DAM, the more you need to learn.
As with many complicated processes, the search for the best-fit DAM solution can be simplified by thinking about what your organization needs to manage its digital assets and coming up with questions based on those requirements. That list of questions reflects the key DAM considerations of the company and will quickly whittle down the list of DAM vendors. This strategy works because it helps you figure out which DAM systems provide the solutions that most directly address the issues faced by your company.
Knowing what a good DAM system is capable of will also help in formulating a list of concerns and needed solutions. A quality DAM system will at least be able to:
- Eliminate or greatly ease storage concerns: Cloud-based systems work well in this regard.
- Increase efficiency: A good DAM system will save huge amounts of time by simplifying various processes associated with digital assets.
- Be easy to use: Since a lot of people will be using the system on a daily basis, it has to be easy for users to adopt and simple to use. Software-as-a-service DAM often helps in this regard by providing training and ongoing service.
To learn more about what you need to know when looking for a DAM system, check out John Horodyski's excellent white paper, "What to Know Before you Go!"

It was my sister Cindy's birthday on Saturday, December 5. She's a year and a day younger than my oldest sister Linda. They are as different as the moon and the stars. My sister Cindy is the moon, a steady shining light – familiar and beautiful and wise.
I know her face – the one that looks so different from my own that people never imagine we are sisters – almost as well as I know my own. She may be four years older than me, but you'd never guess this petite woman with her shiny hair, hazel eyes, and beautiful smile is anywhere near her chronological age. Cindy's the first one in my family to give me a celebratory hug when I share good news like winning a blue ribbon for one of my floral designs. She shines her light into the corners of my life where sad and scary events have a tendency to lurk, and we all know things look less scary and sad in the light, right? I count on her love and support and she doesn't disappoint. I'm lucky.
Today we met at The Cheesecake Factory for her birthday lunch. I thought a lot about what I wanted to give her. It's important to me to get it right. I bought her flowers that are much like her: orchids, deceptively delicate looking pale pink and deep purple blooms on slender stems that are very long lasting, even after they are cut. And a scarf; I gave her a scarf in shades of taupe and brown and tan and terra cotta and a deeper brick color. The scarf alternates smooth color with gathered texture, and it's soft and cozy and warm. It will be comforting on a cold winter day. Yep. Some years it's easy to figure out what to get Cindy and other years it isn't. This year was a no brainer.

First line: My Dear Cousin Tovah, We made it! If it had not been for your father, though, I think my family would all be dead now: Mama, Papa, Nathan, Saul, and me.
Why you should read this book: When Rifka's brothers defy the orders of the Russian army, the entire family flees to America, but illness pursues them across Europe, and Rifka is denied passage on the ship. While the rest of her family travels across the Atlantic, Rifka stays behind, healing, and writing secret letters to her cousin in the margins of a book. Based on the real-life experiences of the author's great-aunt, this immigration tale won the National Jewish Book Award.
Why you shouldn't read this book: Reading about ringworm and Cossacks makes you itchy.

Did you know the effects of elephants' activities ripple far beyond the gentle giants themselves? In fact, an entire ecosystem depends on these social, intelligent animals — which is why if elephants disappear, the world will be less inhabitable for all species, including human.
Elephants are what scientists call a "keystone species;" that is, their influence on the ecosystem is especially great. The habits of the African forest elephant, in particular — a distinct species that differs significantly from its counterpart, the savanna elephant — has an impact as enormous as the endangered pachyderm itself.
A recent report published in Conservation Biology by John R. Poulsen of Duke University's Nicholas School of the Environment and his colleagues explains that, as fruit-eating animals, elephants are essential for helping a variety of trees flourish. With elephants consuming certain fruits and consequently, pooping out the seeds, a wide variety of plants are able to grow.
Elephants also trample stems and roots. And while that may sound like a bad thing for a forest, it actually helps reduce plant density, allowing larger trees to rise up. Should elephants go extinct, the fundamental changes in forest structure would alter the species composition of up to 96 percent of Central African forests, according to the report's authors.
The effects would extend far beyond Africa, as the tall forest trees absorb carbon dioxide, helping keep global warming at bay. Losing these trees could contribute to an already out-of-control climate crisis, causing very real repercussions to all life on Earth.
Bans help, but there's more work to be done
This scenario could soon be more than hypothetical. More than 60 percent of Africa's forest elephants have been poached in the past decade, according to the African Wildlife Foundation. In fact, the species now inhabits a mere one-fourth of their historic range.
Despite international efforts to halt the commercial ivory trade responsible for killing an astonishing 100 elephants per day, the demand for elephant tusks remains. The good news is that leading countries like the U.S., the U.K., and most recently, China, have banned new ivory — though loopholes allowing supposed "antique" ivory still leaves the door open for poachers to continue their trade. Similarly, the Trump administration has lifted the existing ban on importing elephant trophies into the United States, creating another potential loophole for poachers to exploit.
Yet despite the setbacks, awareness of these incredible animals' plight is only growing. As activists continue to speak out, lawmakers across the globe are listening. With hope, we will save this iconic species, and the health of African forests along with it.

Moonbow has expanded its product portfolio of water purifiers with the launch of Alpheus UV + UF – India's most powerful UV water purifier. The water purifier has been certified by world renowned German certification lab TUV, to remove up to 100 crore microbes per 1 litre of water as against 1 crore microbes removal by ordinary aluminium based UV water purifiers.

The stainless steel UV sterilizer makes the water purifier's performance much more efficient and its single body design ensures zero leakage of UV rays from the sterilizer. Also, unlike aluminium UV sterilizers, it further protects from unhealthy leaching of heavy metals like aluminium and lead in water, thus making the water 100% safe and healthy.
Moonbow Alpheus UV + UF offers lifetime warranty on its stainless steel UV sterilizer thereby reassuring consumers of its performance, whereas, other UV water purifiers available in the market come with a warranty of only 1 year on UV barrels.

Ranger Sessions: Bushcraft
Natural Shelter Building
A test of ingenuity and teamwork. The group is split into smaller teams (usually 5 or 6). The challenge is to build a shelter from materials they can find on the forest floor which the whole team can get into and which can survive a rain shower (provided by the Rangers at the end of the session!).
More time can be spent looking at different designs for shelters, factors in siting the shelter and survival strategies. Offered during June and July.
Time: 2 hours
Maximum group size: 16
Key stage: 2+
Cost: £64.00 (£4 per child)
Survival Skills
After shelter building you can choose to spend an extra hour in the forest to include additional activities such as water sourcing, nettle cordage and a fire lighting demonstration.
Time: an additional 1 hour
Maximum group size: 16
Key stage: 2+
Cost: an additional £32.00 (£2.00 per child)

Stakeholder value for all
The values of stakeholding involve creating the maximum level of return for all stakeholders in a company. This is an entirely different and wide concept than most common shareholding values, which usually targets just on profit maximization. The stakeholder concept regarding its value still comes from profit and cash flow, but it also shows you the needs of other stakeholders, such as employees, the local community, customers, governments and suppliers. Thus, value regarding stakeholding match include the contributions on charity made by employees, funding local "green" projects, keeping a check on the resource use, or changing the employee benefits plan, even though it's not mandatory from a competitive perspective. Increasingly, decision-makers in the industry are being faced with complex investment decisions created and made emotive by diverse stakeholder expectations. Investments with the potential to have an impact on a company's environmental performance are a prime example of this since they are driven by multidimensional impacts, many of which are difficult to quantify in scientific and monetary terms.
Stakeholder Management Made Easy
This paper presents a stakeholder value analysis (SVA) model, which can be used to address such problems, using a multiple-attribute decision methodology. The stakeholder value concept provides some usefulness when setting corporate strategy for the long-term support in a huge group that is ready to address them when the entity during those times when there is some financial crisis. It can further provide a better legislature and a competitive posture. Further, it can be helpful in creating a corporate branding that is positive. However, this doesn't happen always, instead executive officers must get prepared as branding is so important and that too a rightful way. As positive thinkers do get evaluated more readily than other lazy members.
Stakeholders Are Important
Positive thinkers approach situations well and stand up when there is a need for it. This decision tool has been developed and validated through a series of industrial applications, one of which is outlined here. This application describes the use of the tool in a company context whereby stakeholders from within the company are canvassed for their priorities and views. The SVA tool is used not only to guide and support this process but also to analyze the data and consequently produce output decision metrics, which express the preferences of all relevant stakeholders and which can, therefore, be more confidently used to support the final decision.
Stakeholders have a great value in any company, as they are almost like a major instrument, representing your thoughts to other parts of the world and bringing potential customers.

:o I haven't read 6 of those books so I don't know the characters! :(
Looks like I need to buy myself an entire bookstore after my exams.
Sorry but I can't help myself. I'm adding two more.
The Cheshire Cat from Alice In Wonderland. And also The Alchemist from The Alchemist. :)

I hate, hate, hate Ayn Rand & Atlas Shrugged but I would say you picked the right character, out of those available from that horrid book. ;)
And how can anyone not love Dumbledore?!
- April 20, 2011 at 7:43 AM
- Abhinav said...
I guess my top 2 would be Chris Macandless from Into the Wild and Aron Ralston from 127 hours. From Harry Potter it would be Snape.Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead are the greatest books ever written, it is difficult to pick the best character from these.

@The Xeno: Even I like the alchemist from the Alchemist! I don't like the boy though! And shockingly I still haven't read Alice in Wonderland!!!
@Harish: So then who are your favourite characters??
@Adam: Ayn Rand was slightly crazy and entirely deluded. The Revolution can do that to people :P Hank Rearden was the only character that seemed real!!
@Abhinav: I haven't read either, but I want to read both the books!! As for Ayn Rand, I have read all of her fiction works and most of her non-fiction. She has the most arbitrary philosophies ever!! The stories are good, but from the theories everything goes downhill!!

Thanks! Loved this meme :)
I do think he is a character, and an incredibly awesome one at that!!

I love DEATH. Everything Terry Pratchett touches turns to gold obviously, but DEATH is probably his best character.
Can't say that I agree about Dumbledore, though. Without going into a ninety page thesis, I'll just say that I feel that Dumbledore used people, often destroying them, and that I can't forgive him for this. It's not just Harry or Sirius or Snape, but every man, woman, and child in the wizarding world. While he's a well-written and well-constructed character, I lost respect for him towards the end of the series.
Great list, though! New follower!
- April 20, 2011 at 9:42 PM
- Priya said...
I love Dumbledore's character, for his personality, his magical abilities and his eccentricities and all of that. I know, he's not always warm and lovable and good; and I was kind of disappointed after that turn of events. The only thing that didn't made me lose respect for him, was that he knew he wasn't all good too! He made mistakes, that made him seem more real, and he knew they were mistakes, which is kind of like redemption!
Anyway, thanks :) I am too!

What is the role of popular soveignty (authority flows from the people to the state, not the other way around) in today's society?
Ashley CastelloParticipant
The role of popular sovereignty in today's society is to give the people the right to vote for the legislators that they believe will represent their interests. Members of society can also vote for or against laws or policies as they see fit. It also means that the government is set up to serve the needs of the people, and not the other way around.March 5, 2019 at 8:52 pm #45473
The role of popular sovereignty in today's society is not as it should be. Most people feel like the power flows from the government down. On a local level we have the power to elect our officials. Our vote directly affects the outcome. While this gives us power over our local politicians, this is not so much so on the federal level. The president is elected by an electoral college that is supposed to represent the populous but does not have to. Many states are enacting legislation to give their voters more power in this process by forcing their representatives to vote with the population. Further, the president then appoints a great many positions within the federal government for which the people have no say. This makes us further powerless. As long as an electoral college exists we will not truly have popular sovereignty as it is meant to be.March 6, 2019 at 11:05 am #45474
Jen LovingParticipant
For as much as I would like to think popular sovereignty is alive and working as it should in today's society I tend to agree with Larry. We do have the power to elect our officials and trust they will speak on our behalf based on issues and promises made during their election but sometimes that isn't always the case. The elected officials have so many individuals, groups and organizations coming at them at different angles with wants and needs; attitudes and beliefs are swayed and then our voice becomes lost. This is why we continue to advocate for ourselves and our loved ones…to remind them why we elected them and that we need to be heard!March 7, 2019 at 12:09 pm #45545

Hi Larry. I agree with you about the electoral college. I think it is a flawed system that has failed already more than once in that it allowed someone to be elected to office who did not actually win the vote of the people. I also agree with Jen that our elected officials do not always represent our interests. I live in the deep south, and so more often than not, the candidates that I vote for are not the ones who win, so then I am left feeling like my elected officials are not actually making decisions that align with my attitudes and beliefs. However, I am optimistic that the pendulum is swinging back to the side of popular sovereignty working as it should, and that our advocacy efforts can make a difference.March 7, 2019 at 10:12 pm #45572

Popular sovereignty role in today's society is to give the people the power to directly affect the choices made in our government. We see this through elections at the state level when we vote. Our government was designed to make the people's voice be heard. With our vote for the candidate that represents our needs we are demonstrating "popular sovereignty". We also display it in making our wants and needs heard when we visit our elected officials and tell our stories. When we present our 'asks" to our legislators we are participating in a government set up to serve the people.
Does it always work? Maybe not, but we have to keep exercising our rights and make ourselves known to our elected officials.March 8, 2019 at 8:00 am #45576
Michelle, I'm glad you mentioned visiting our local representatives. Aside from actually running for office ourselves, visiting our representatives and making our voices heard is one of the greatest tools we have. Providing that connection between a bill and the people it affects can change minds and sway votes. It's also very empowering on a personal level. Not to mention, our responsibility as conscious citizens.

Larry, Michelle-
I'm glad you mentioned sharing your story/your voice. It's incredibly important we share our personal experiences with decision makers. Otherwise how will they know the direct impact of the decisions they make?
Have you guys seen HFA's recent "Storytelling For Advocacy" webinar? It's great! The speaker, Dana Norris will be at Symposium presenting a general session on Friday afternoon. You guys will love her!March 9, 2019 at 8:18 am #45596

The role of popular sovereignty is to limit the powers of the government by ensuring that all authority comes first from the people. Through elections, power flows from the people, to the elected officials, to the legislation that is passed. In order for this model to function as intended, it is important that the people hold elected officials accountable for truly representing the voice of their constituents. The main challenge is that everyone's voices can't all be heard at the same time.March 9, 2019 at 8:21 am #45597
Yes Sonji, I watched it last week in preparation for a job interview where they asked me give a 3-5 min presentation on myself. Dana was excellent and quite informative. It certainly helped, but I am sure I will refer to again. My story still needs much refinement

Popular sovereignty is the authority that we – the people – have to ensure that our interests and needs are being considered by elected officials when they make decisions that affect our everyday lives. It gives us a seat at the table with these decision makers to make our case and inform them as to how a particular bill or course of action would positively or negatively affect our community. Without popular sovereignty, the government would not truly be ours and it would be even more difficult, if not almost impossible, to advocate for our community if our interests in no way align or benefit those in power.March 12, 2019 at 7:37 pm #45777
Dana BrayshawParticipant
I feel as though the idea of popular sovereignty, that the people are the highest political authority in democracy, is not always practiced in democracies today. Generally, if someone is able to raise enough funds to run for office they have a higher chance of being elected. This may mean that the more qualified person who was not able to raise vast amounts of money, is then not elected. I think money plays a huge role in how many elected officials make decisions as well. Some decisions have huge impacts on people they aren't generally thinking about.
Also, if the general population is not educated on the dynamics of government and learning about the people who they are voting for, then popular sovereignty does not work as it should. I do think it is important for people to make sure to vote for people that are well aligned with their values. When elected officials then have values that do not align with values of their constituents, this is where advocacy becomes so important.March 14, 2019 at 6:48 pm #45841
Aidan ElliottParticipant
Popular sovereignty is the idea that "the people" hold supreme power over a nation. To my knowledge, The USA was the first to successfully implement a system of government that reflected this idea, though at the time, "the people" didn't include women, slaves, Catholics, Jews, Quakers, or those without sufficient property. The build up to the civil war was the first time the term was put to the test when congress decided new western territories acquired from Mexico could decide for themselves whether they would tolerate slavery or not. While Nebraska was firmly grasped as a free state, settlers of Missouri rushed in to Kansas to try to influence it to become a slave state. Much violence erupted and the time would be known as Bleeding Kansas. This showed one of the true dilemmas of Popular Sovereignty. I am reminded of a quote from the movie, "The Patriot" when Mel Gibson's character said, "Why should I trade one tyrant 3000 miles away for 3000 tyrants one mile away…An elected legislature can trample a man's rights as easily as the King can." And he could be right! If the term "Popular" doesn't reflect a territory's entire population, how can legislatures be expected to truly be servants of the sovereign people? And who is to decide who is eligible to be Sovereign? Should Quakers be considered people? How about Children?
Now, I'm not saying we should ask Queen Elizabeth if she would take us back and I'm not saying we should hand every toddler a ballot but I am saying that Popular Sovereignty is a not quite a perfect democratic philosophy. The role of Popular Sovereignty is different today than it was in the time of Bleeding Kansas. Voter eligibility is obviously much higher but many people still do not have the right to vote and of the people that do have the right to vote, only half regularly exercise that right. The challenge for popular sovereignty in modern times is how do we assure everyone has a voice and how do we assure everyone has fair information on how to direct that voice? We can't require people to vote but as advocates, we can show people why it's important to.March 14, 2019 at 7:00 pm #45842
Aidan ElliottParticipant
Dana, I agree completely that people need to be educated about not only the issues but how government responds to the issues. Do you think that an elected official of a two mega party system can ever be truly aligned with an individuals values or even a majority of individuals values?March 14, 2019 at 10:04 pm #45845
Krista DavidsonParticipant
Honestly, I didn't know what popular sovereignty meant until I listened to the podcast. I did not correlate voting for instance to the application of popular sovereignty. I feel like the idea of popular sovereignty is lost on a lot of us, like we(the people, ha ha) don't feel we truly have control over the government. But why is that? After pondering on the information, of course it has a role in our society today. Aidan I like what you stated previously, that "we can't require people to vote but as advocates, we can show people why it's important to." We can empower others, to empower others, to empower others.

In an interview with CBS Sunday Morning, Jon Stewart was asked to comment on George W. Bush, and the Comedy Central host didn't pull any punches.
Stewart sat down with Mo Rocca, a former Daily Show correspondent who now works for CBS, and the two discussed the comedian's film, Rosewater, which also served as Stewart's directorial debut. But the topic soon turned to the many politicians Stewart has interviewed on his show, including Donald Rumsfeld, whom Stewart grilled about the blunder that was the Iraq War.
As you'll recall, Rumsfeld and the rest of the Bush Administration lied to the American people about Iraq having WMDs and a connection to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. As a result, the United States spent trillions of dollars and sacrificed thousands of lives on a war that should have never happened. The war also destabilized the region so much that it allowed a new terrorist group known as ISIS to take over large swaths of Iraq and Syria.
Speaking of George W. Bush, Rocca informed Stewart that the former president had been interviewed for the very same program. During that interview, Bush said that he didn't regret invading Iraq. Rocca asked Stewart what he would say to him.
ROCCA: If we had a magical device where you could jump from this interview . . . and ask him anything?
STEWART: Tell me about umber and how it helps you when painting cats. I think it would be that. I think I would just stick with the painting stuff.
But Stewart couldn't resist mocking Bush for how he has spent his retirement in relative seclusion painting fruit while other former presidents are actively trying to serve less fortunate people around the globe.
STEWART: Jimmy Carter's, like, 108, he's out in Africa, like, pulling Guinea worms out of children's feet trying to cure them. Bush is at home: 'Ah, bring me my fruit bowl, I'm doin' a still life. Heh heh heh'
Here's the video via CBS. The comments about Bush begin around the 4:30 mark.
It's worth noting that George W. Bush is probably scared sh*tless of traveling the world to help others because many countries are just itching to arrest him for the war crimes he and his administration committed during his time in office, including sanctioning the use of torture. It's either that, or Bush just doesn't give a damn about the the plight of those who are struggling while he sits back and slaps colors on a canvass.

The Triumph Speed Triple is a modern classic, a machine that invented an entire category of motorcycles upon its release and despite coming under increasing pressure, still remains one of the best machines money can buy today. And now, they've become a whole lot more desirable thanks to Tony Scott of T3 Racing and Kevin Taggart, Spirit of the Seventies designer. From them has come Project Gemini, a limited release of 100 custom Speed Triples that are absolutely gorgeous.
For British readers, T3 Racing will probably be a recognisable name, having established a one make Speed Triple category in support of the BSBK series until last year. Scott then teamed up with Taggart, the duo having a desire to ride machines that looked as good as they ran. Looking at the pictures below you'd be happy with just a cosmetic overhaul as their designs and colour schemes are fantastic. But instead they went further and improved the bike mechanically as much as they could.
The front suspension gets a revamp, with the new units now contain modified rebound and
compression stacks and brand new T6 Billet Aluminium fork Drop-outs. The centrally mounted, single rear shock has also been upgraded to give the rider full adjustability
for compression, rebound, and pre-load. Stock brakes have been upgraded to include T3's 6 pot billet calipers and performance pads. Only the best electronic will be fitted to the Gemini bikes,new dashboards, keyless ignition are just some of the refined electrical engineering you can expect to find on these purposefully built machines. The engine gets love too, with power bumped up to 160bhp.
How much? No one knows yet, but only 100 of these machines will be built – 50 Nakeds and 50 Indianapolis. It's expected that no more than six machines will go to one individual country as well, so if you're interested you'd better get in quick.

Smartphones are falling to spear phishing campaigns after they receive a fake LinkedIn invitation from 'Bill Gates'.
Speaking to the Dark Reading website, Joshua Perrymon, CEO of PacketFocus, said that he sent a spoofed LinkedIn email to users in different organisations who had agreed to participate in the test and was able to get his spoofed message through 100 per cent of the time.
He claimed that he tested ten different combinations of email security appliances, services, and open-source and commercial products; four major client email products; and the three major smartphone brands – the Apple iPhone, RIM's BlackBerry and Palm's Palm Pre.
Perrymon said he sent all three smartphone vendors his research paper and details on the experiment, but he has not received a response from any of them. Dark Reading claimed at the time of writing, neither Apple, RIM nor Palm had responded to inquiries about Perrymon's findings.
He said he told Apple, RIM and Palm that even if they do not have a fix for the attack, they should at least 'address the issue'.
Perrymon said: "What I found on the Palm and BlackBerry is [that there is] no protection to any type of phishing attacks.
"The Palm runs on Linux, so I SSH'ed into it and looked around. The email client is built in JavaScript and made to download emails from a server - POP, IMAP or Exchange. So if the hosted server doesn't pick up on the email, then the phone gets the attack delivered."
Perrymon said that the experiment was aimed at measuring the effectiveness of email security controls in several major products and services, and demonstrated just how powerful social engineering can be and how little technology can do about it.
He told the website that the results took him by surprise, and he has contacted the various affected vendors and is working with some of them to come up with fixes to the problem.
