Chequers Putsch: Boris fires opening salvo at PM

Brexit cheerleader and wannabe prime minister Boris Johnson has savaged Theresa May's Brexit plan saying the proposed Chequers deal would leave the UK with "diddly squat" and hand the European Union "victory".
On the Brexiteer wing of the Tory party his words will be met with glee.
Number 10 has insisted the Brexit strategy is "precise and pragmatic" but May is now faced with a dilemma which could result in her wobbling premiership finally toppling over.
Two factions of the Tory party are now openly denouncing the Chequers plan. Not just the Brexiteers but those like Nick Boles who voted Remain but believe the proposal is not good enough.
May faces the very real prospect of not getting the deal passed by parliament. And that would probably be the end of her leadership.
Johnson, of course, doesn't actually care "diddly squat" about how the Brexit negotiations go. He has only one motivator for interventions like this – he wants to be prime minister. If that would have been made more likely by supporting the Chequers bid – which he initially did – that is the route he would have taken.
May has to decide whether she compromises the plan or takes on the dissenters in her own party and risks being dumped out of Downing Street.
Johnson – and election guru Sir Lynton Crosby who is allegedly masterminding the former foreign secretary's insurrection – will not stop flinging muck at the PM. She was too weak to silence him when he was in the cabinet and she has no power over him at all now he has returned to the backbenches.
By the time the Tories convene for conference in Birmingham at the end of the month the party could be engulfed by all out war.

Berkeley, California (EastBayDaily) — Tom Sawyer Software, the premier provider of software for building high-performance data relationship and graph visualization and analysis applications, announces the release of Tom Sawyer Perspectives, Version 6.0, Java Edition.
With this release, we are pleased to announce new Cypher query language data integration for Neo4j graph databases. This new data integration support makes it easier to write complex queries and work with large Neo4j graph databases.
Brendan Madden, Chief Executive Officer of Tom Sawyer Software, said, "Tom Sawyer Software and Neo Technology have many joint customers. Providing Neo4j Cypher query language support in our Tom Sawyer Perspectives federated data integration architecture helps our customers design and deploy applications more quickly and professionally. Graph databases and graph visualization and analysis work together to provide key end-to-end core technology for organizations building applications that work with graph data. Important applications are being built in network topology; link analysis; schematics and models; and processes, flows, and dependencies. Organizations can also build applications that work with geo-encoded data and logical relationships at the same time. This is timely work that meets an important market demand."
Emil Eifrem, Chief Executive Officer of Neo Technology, said, "The Neo4j and Cypher integration in Perspectives 6.0 provides mature graph visualization. Organizations building visual graph applications will benefit from its capabilities."
This release also introduces new dynamic tooltip loading support. When updating drawing views, tooltip data is loaded on demand from the server only if it is needed during hover and mouse-over actions. This reduces traffic between the server and client for both HTML5 and image map web applications, and improves application response time and scalability.
Tom Sawyer Perspectives, Version 6.0, also includes support for animated and blinking edges, and flow animation from source nodes to target nodes in support of monitoring and simulation applications. In addition, this release includes SVG image support on the client. There are also a series of layout improvements including improved labeling in dense drawings. The API references offer improved IDE integration.

Acts 11:1-3 "The apostles and the believers throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God. So, when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers criticized him and said, "You went into the house of uncircumcised men and ate with them."
So, are you pro-circumcision or anti-circumcision?
It is amazing to me how many times I get caught up trying to separate, partition, divide… and it feels good because then I can choose:
Acts 11 7-9 "Then I heard a voice telling me, 'Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.' I replied, 'Surely not, Lord! Nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth.'The voice spoke from heaven a second time, do not call anything impure that God has made clean."
Wow, I am blown away by Paul's statement "Nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth."
I'm on a journey and looking back I can see unclean things have entered and exited my mouth. Let's just say I won't be casting the first stone.
Today we, you and I, are going to be challenged. Some of us harder than others. Truth is you will walk by people you have no idea what their challenges are… and some are huge!
So, we can get into their stories and we can separate, partition, and divide.
Or… we can love, foolishly love without cause.
On my journey I have divided and I have loved foolishly.
It's hard, I know it's hard, for if it were easy all would do it (Gandhi).
But choosing to let go and love, that's as close as you'll ever get to GOD on this green earth, except when you hold back and divide and pull away as that's as close as you'll ever get to GOD on this green earth.
Truth is, nothing can separate us from GOD! We, you and I, can choose to be separate, but nothing can separate us from GOD!

[caption id="attachment_3196" align="alignleft" width="160"] nationwide credit inc charge offs and collection accounts can prevent you from living the life you deserve. You can get them legally, ethically and legitimately removed by following the advice we offer to you here.[/caption]
Have You Received a Threatening Phone Call from Nationwide Credit?
Check your credit report right away. Chances are Nationwide Credit has already taken steps to ruin your credit score for up to 7 years by getting collection items inserted into your credit history.
Who is Nationwide Credit?
Nationwide Credit is the name of an Illinois debt collection company.
They may use all the typical debt collection practices common to their industry, which are intended to scare, shame, or annoy consumers into paying them.
For example, they might try to embarrass you by calling your workplace looking for you, scare you with threats of lawsuits, or annoy you with endless phone calls.
How to Contact Nationwide Credit
815 Commerce Drive, Suite 100
Oak Brook, IL 60523
Telephone: (630)-528-5100
Fax: (630)-528-5010
Website: www.ncc.us
Nationwide Credit Inc is a debt agency that specializes in tracking down consumers who may have unsettled debts that still have not been collected by the original creditor, lender or merchant.
If you have opened up a credit account with a retailer, creditor, or banking institution in the past and you did not pay on the due dates on any credit you borrowed for a set period of time – you could be liable to still pay back these debts.
For example, if you open a credit card account for special rewards with a Macey's, Sear's or Best Buy for example and you do not pay back the money you borrowed on credit - the original merchant or lending party can choose to employ another company or (agency) to pursue the person who has not paid.
The debt (if paid) will normally be divided (or whatever is collected) between the two parties (merchant and collection company) unless the original merchant or lender just sells the debt entirely to the debt collection agency which is also referred to as a "charge off."
If you find yourself in this type of situation it is important to get advice for your specific situation so you know what to do - to keep your credit in good standing, and so you understand what process steps are involved to get back to where you want to be financially - and with your credit.
Consider giving Lexington Law a call at 1 855 255 0118 – they offer a valuable free consultation that you can take advantage of to figure out what the next best move for you to do is and will also honestly tell you whether or not if they think they can help you further.

1. Christmas is over for another year. I'm sure a lot of people are feeling relieved about that. We don't do christmas, which I'm eternally grateful for, it seems like such an expensive, stressful time.
2. I've been thinking about womens issues lately and wondering why we women aren't more vocal and forceful about our needs. For instance, there is still a GST on sanitary products. GST is supposed to be on luxury items. Sanitary products are not luxuries they are necessities. So why have we allowed this? Why haven't we lobbied the government to get this changed?
As women we are strong, it's time we recognised that strength and banded together to make things happen.
3. Are you an encourager? I am. When someone tells me they've come up with an idea, I almost always tell them it's a great idea, even if it sounds crazy. When my brother in law told me he was going to Shanghai to do a course to become a spiritual healer, I told him it was a great idea. When my Dad told me he was thinking of starting a religion, I told him he'd meet lots of very interesting people. There are times I wonder if I should offer a less enthusiastic response, but I figure life's short so why the hell not try something new, even if it does sound crazy.
4. The new Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist Deluxe Edition looks beautiful. I want it just for the bottle. It's being released on the 24th of January and will cost $79. (Not sponsored or anything, I just think it's pretty).
5. This clip has had the boys and I in stitches all week. We've watched it about twenty times and still find it hilarious.

Why Multi-Generational Teams Are Best
With seniors now often living apart from their extended families, many young people have very little interaction with people outside of their own age group. Until they get to work, of course, where new entrants to the workforce brush shoulders with many generations in close quarters.
Conflicts naturally arise with young people being labeled lazy or self-involved, and baby faced-staff complaining about the stodgy ways of senior team members. But despite the usual sniping and complaining, multi-generational teams are actually best, according to a recent post on blog CAREEREALISM.
On top of external concerns like avoiding age discrimination cases and having a broad range of employees to provide insights on a broad range of customers, the post offers ideas on why multi-generational teams function better and produce better results, including:
Every generation has its blind spots. By having a multi-generational workforce these blind spots can be avoided to a large degree. A clear example is the issue of technology. The young bulls (of whichever gender) want to have technology, technology, and more technology. The older bulls (of either gender) can put a quash on making the company technology based for technology's sake. This vital tension means that essential technology will be implemented, but non-essential technology will not--at least ideally.With the blogosphere full of rants on how various generations are unequivocally better or worse, the CAREEREALISM post is a nice reminder that debates about the merits or various generations aside, a balanced team that includes the strengths and weaknesses of all age groups is probably best. Do you agree?
It allows each generation to safely shine.... younger workers are more likely to take risks that can benefit the company if there is a "safety net" of older workers to catch them if they fall. Conversely, older workers can rapidly fall behind the times and be beat by competitors if they don't keep up. A multi-generational workforce lets each generation do what they do best, without a fear that something will be missed. This leads to greater creativity and a better flow of ideas within the company.

Infants enter the world completely dependent on others. They cannot feed, soothe, or protect themselves and crying is their only recourse to garner attention from those around them. They have no tools in their proverbial toolbox and are hopelessly defenseless against the world's prey. They are physically, psychologically, and emotionally dependent on their caregivers, whom they become desperate to form secure attachments with. Eventually, these infants grow into children and along the way, develop an insatiable hunger to explore their surroundings and figure out where they belong. The majority of children will eagerly strive for independence and in doing so; will gradually become less dependent on their caregivers. However, some children will deviate from this process, fail to become autonomous, and eventually develop dependent personality disorder
A personality disorder is characterized by a fixed and persistent pattern of thought and action that triggers difficulties across multiple areas of one's life. Dependent personality disorder is a Cluster C personality disorder, meaning that it is typified by extreme fright and apprehension. Dependent personality disorder is diagnosed in early adulthood and exemplified by a persistent dependence on other people to meet their emotive, cognitive, and physical needs.
Individuals with Dependent Personality Disorder have difficulty making decisions, even minor, insignificant ones, and need continuous endorsement and support from others. They lack assertiveness and fail to have confidence, thus holding the opinions of others in higher regard than their own. One with dependent personality disorder adheres themselves tightly to others and harbors anxiety about being abandoned or left alone. Commonly, those with this personality disorder are negative, pessimistic, and always anticipate that the worst scenario will occur. They tend to disparage and demean their skills, achievements, and talents and take the disparagement of others as proof of their insignificance. These individuals are not social and gear most of their interactions with the small number of people that they are dependent on. Individuals are hypersensitive, avoid responsibilities, and are fearful of being rejected. Individuals with this disorder often engage in subservient behaviors with calculated intent to extract care from others. People with this disorder truly fear that they cannot function in everyday life without the assistance of others.
There are several risk factors that can make an individual more susceptible to dependent personality disorder. Individuals that have domineering, strict, and controlling parents are more prone to developing the disorder, as authoritarian parenting can restrict a child's ability to becoming independent. Those that have grown up in neglectful households, engaged in abusive relationships, or who have experienced significant trauma may also be more prone to a dependent personality disorder diagnosis. Finally, recurring physical illness, genetics, or a family history of anxiety may also precipitate diagnosis.
Dependent Personality Disorder is diagnosed within a cognitive, motivational, behavioral, and emotional framework. An individual needs to cognitively deem themselves incapable and unsuccessful and be motivated to link themselves with protective caregivers for survival. Behaviorally, a person needs to diminish the prospect of isolation or desertion and emotionally, needs to possess anxiety of abandonment.
Psychotherapeutic interventions are targeted towards helping people to become autonomous and to raising self-worth and confidence. Treatment seeks to educate and assist individuals in forming well-rounded, optimistic, and healthy interpersonal relationships. Pharmacological interventions are sometimes used in conjunction with therapy to treat symptoms of anxiety and depression that may result from the condition. However, medication cannot address characteristics of the personality disorder itself.
Infants are born immediately dependent on those around them. Ideally, all caregivers would always be eager to tend to their infant's needs and to foster their emotional and physical independence. Unfortunately, this is not always the case and some may go on to develop Dependent Personality Disorder. Thankfully, people with this disorder commonly improve with intervention and symptoms often dissipate as treatment progresses.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) called the tax reform package released by House Republicans last Thursday a "starting point."
ELIZABETHTOWN | House Republicans rolled out their tax reform plan last week.
The $1.5 trillion effort to revamp the federal tax code has been branded by GOP lawmakers as a long-awaited overhaul designed to offer savings for middle-class families, simplify the tax code and reduce taxes for businesses and corporations.
Details on the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act are expected to be hammered out in coming weeks, and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) has said he wants to bring the bill to a vote before lawmakers break for their Thanksgiving recess on Nov. 16.
Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) called the package released by the House Ways and Means Committee last Thursday a "starting point that needs to be improved to ensure that New Yorkers receive the tax relief they deserve."
A chief sticking point for the lawmaker continues to be the proposed state and local tax deduction repeal.
Known as SALT, repealing the measure would add $1.3 trillion in revenues, but would deprive New Yorkers of a tax write-off that averages $6,000 per family annually.
Supporters of the repeal argue that the revenue needs to be raised to offset cuts elsewhere.
Stefanik said she'll continue to work with her colleagues in the New York delegation to improve the plan to address SALT, as well as offer tax relief for families and businesses.
Tax relief, said the lawmaker, has been a frequent topic of discussion as she meets with constituents.
"I encourage all of our constituents to read this plan and contact my offices by phone or email to share their feedback," Stefanik said in a statement.
Stefanik voted against the federal budget resolution last week, citing concerns over SALT.
The bill comes as Republicans struggle to score a major legislative accomplishment this year, one characterized by numerous failed attempts to repeal "Obamacare."
Democrats criticized the provisions phasing-out the inheritance tax and repeal of the alternative minimum tax on the highest earners, the Associated Press reported, and said the cuts come at the expense of the middle class.
Candidates jousting for the Democratic nomination for New York's 21st Congressional District were quick to pounce.
Emily Martz, a Saranac Lake economic development consultant, said the proposal "falls short of real reform."
Tax cuts for corporations and wealthy Americans will decrease the nation's tax revenue and expand the deficit, she said.
"We can't allow a few kernels of support for the middle-class to distract us from the bigger picture of budget deficits and cuts in programs that are investments in America's future," Martz said in a statement.
Tanya Boone, a Granville-based union organizer and business owner, said the plan would raise taxes on local families who are already struggling with one of the highest local and state tax burdens in the nation.
"This will not create economic growth," said Boone in a statement. "To create growth, we need to invest in infrastructure, increase access to broadband services and support small business."
Don Boyajian, a Saratoga-based lawyer, called the plan a "disaster" and criticized the proposed SALT repeal.
"It is time for Representative Stefanik to stop sitting on the sidelines and stand up to Paul Ryan to prevent his dangerous tax plan from taking effect," said Boyajian in a statement.
"Desperate, ill-informed candidates say dumb things," responded Lenny Alcivar, a Stefanik campaign spokesman. "Before he even moved to #NY21, Elise has long been recognized for her support on SALT."
Gov. Andrew Cuomo also excoriated the plan, calling a potential SALT repeal a "diabolical dimension."
Residents hit in the pocketbooks might choose to vote with their feet, he said.
"It affects the competitiveness of our state because to the extent you raise taxes in New York, you push people and push businesses to other states," he said.
New York contributes more to the federal government than any other state, he said, giving $48 billion more to Washington than it receives.
And on Monday, Cuomo said a repeal would wipe away the past seven years of progress he has made in reducing the state's high property taxes.
"As far as I'm concerned, this is President Trump saying 'drop dead' to New Yorkers because that's what this is."

Before I started using a Bullet Planner, I wasted a lot of time, effort and money trying and rejecting various calendars, notebooks and planners. I couldn't seem to find one that really fit my style. They were all too big, too bulky, had too many pages I didn't need, or had page layouts that just didn't work for me.
Last year, when I was coaching at four different elementary schools, my need to find a good planner became more important than ever. With so many administrators, teachers and students to support, I found it harder and harder to keep everything straight. One day, while searching for yet another solution, I Googled "Minimalist Planner" and happened upon a YouTube video (embedded below) describing a Bullet Journal. As is always the case with YouTube, one video quickly led to ten more. One hour and multiple videos later, I was pretty sure I had found the solution to planning I had been looking for. I immediately grabbed an old drugstore notebook and set it up to give it a try.
Here are pictures of my first little notebook bullet planner.
There is certainly nothing fancy or artistic about it, but it was a great way to jump in and give Bullet journaling a try. In a very short period of time knew I had found the planner I was looking for. Who would of thought something so simple could be the best solution of all? With the start of a new school year looming, I am making a few modifications to set up this year's planner. I'm sharing it in hopes other coaches will find it useful as well!
What is a Bullet Journal?
I am pretty sure at this point many of you are asking, what exactly is a Bullet Journal? The idea was created by Ryder Carroll, a digital designer now living in New York. He created his first notebook while in college as a way to keep information and notes organized. Since then Bullet Journaling has become a movement, with numerous blogs, YouTube channels and Facebook pages dedicated to sharing and teaching others the method. My favorite part is that Bullet Journaling is completely personalized and designed by you to make it your own. There is no hard-fast method to adhere to. Simply create and modify pages to meet your needs. If you are interested in learning what it's all about, begin by watching the video below. Ryder Carrol explains his method and the basics of creating a Bullet Journal. There are plenty of additional resources listed at the end of this post you may find helpful as well.
Using a Bullet Journal as an Instructional Coach
As I mentioned earlier, I have tried and discarded several different planners over the past four years. I realized that truly, it was because I had not created them for myself. It is kind of like teaching from someone else's lesson plans- it's just not the same as creating your own plans and understanding the thoughts behind them!
Once I settled on what I needed to include, the Instructional Coach's Bullet Planner was born! I created both a digital and printable version of the Instructional Coach's Bullet Planner. I prefer to use the digital. It took a little while to get the hang of writing with a stylus, but now I am hooked! :)
Instructional Coaching Printable Bullet Planner
Version one is a full-size planner that can be printed on standard 8.5 X 11 paper. Once printed pages can be punched and placed into a 3-ring binder or printed on dot grid or graph paper such as suggested by the Bullet Journal website. The printable version is nice for instructional coaches who want to be able to use a full-size notebook and add, remove or reorganize pages from the binder as needed. This version, for example, can be run on a pack of loose-leaf dot-grid paper and then placed into a binder. Pages are easy to take out and move to other parts of the binder as needed.
Instructional Coaching Digital Bullet Planner
The digital version of the planner isn't designed to be printed. The Pdf file should be saved to your device and then imported into a digital note taking app such as Notability or Good Notes. Personally, I use Good Notes on my iPad with an Apple Pencil stylus. I designed the Instructional Coaching Digital Bullet Planner with no external hyperlinks so it is not necessary to export it again as a PDF. I am able to do all of my planning right in the app and view pages as they are needed. Also, I use the bookmark feature in Good Notes as a virtual index to instantly jump to and view any page I need. Finally, I prefer to write on lined paper rather than use a dot or box grid. View sample pages from my actual planner below.
Happy planning!

Coaching has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I feel like coaching, is what I want to do for as long as I am alive. I know that it is not a lucrative job, but believe me, it is one that gives me energy. My passion for coaching is the only thing keeps me alive. I hope that I can make a living out of it, because I also have a family to raise and love.

Why Being Unrealistic is The Perfect Strategy

So we have it on pre-order at Borders, and they are having a big midnight buy your book party tonight!
We will be there, waiting with millions of other excited fans to receive the last installment of the story that has swept us through the last tens years of incredible fantasy and unfortunate reality.
The parallels that J.K. finds are wonderful, and I am sure this last book won't disappoint.
I have had a bit of the slowdown in my creative mojo these last few weeks, but I have been trying to just keep pushing through and creating something everyday.
It is a goal for me, to learn to not worry so much about how perfect it is or isn't (usually the latter, LOL!)
But I have to set goals, or I tend to lose interest and motivation. So my goal for this summer was to enter the Memory Makers Masters contest. I am so close to being done, but the last touches and thoughts are eluding me and it is so frustrating. I hate to even submit for anything if it doesn't meet a certain standard, but this time I will just have to let go of those issues and send it in, just to make myself finish that goal.
Not sure why I do these things to myself, but I do end up stronger and more determined in the end, so I am hoping that the ends justify the means, LOL!
Anyway, a completely pointless post, but needed to ramble.
Wish I were in Chicago with Mary Kay cruising the new product releases, but I will be using Harry to comfort my mind.

Seems like our post doesn't have any background image defined. Let's go to our post settings and see how to add an image that describes our post in a beautiful look way.
Let's add an image to the Banner and see the result
Perfect. But it seems too big, Let's head over again to our settings and see if we can crop the image.
As we can see, the image is too big, but I want to give an effect to include the pencil and the paper just a little. Let's see the result.
Perfect! Now, this was the expected result that I was looking for.
As we can see, we have to tweak some images to find a better position, to our final result.
The image should have a good definition to appear in the post with a satisfactory result. Some images, you'll need to crop and scale where you want the result to be focused.

Folegandros and the most cycladic Islands, passed into possession of many different peoples and cultures over the centuries because of their geographical position. The first residences on the island, according to the archaeological findings, are placed in the prehistoric era. Carians, Phoenicians and Dorians were some of the people who passed through the island, while the 5th century, after the signing of the second Athenian Alliance, Folegandros passed into possession of Athens. The Macedonians left samples of their presence on the island, conquering the era of Alexander the great and the Ptolemies all the then known Greek place. The Roman era, Folegandros was used primarily as a place of exile. In the hands of the Byzantine emperors the island did not enjoy particular booming. Folegandros, in 1204, is enrolled in the Duchy of the Aegean and the founder of the Duchy ,Marco Sanudo ,took care for the creation of the castle of the island so that the residents can protect themselves against pirate raids where they had a big frequency in the Aegean region, untill the 18th century. The Ottomans, in 1617, after a series of hostilities with the Franks, who in the meantime had occupied the Islands from the Venetians, succeded to annex folegandros and the rounding islands in the lands of their empire. This sovereignty there will be a break from 1770 to 1774, during the Russo-Turkish war where all the Islands passed into possession of the Russians. Folegandros, in 1830, is enrolled, free anymore of conquistadores, in the newly formed Greek State. After the liberation and until the dawn of the 20th century the island is aided financially by the Folegandros island's immigrants in Istanbul. During the 20th century Folegandros was place of exile. The 1919 Venizelos exiled on the island 5 SEKE's leaders (communistic) followed by exile and other political opponents of the Government, over Metaxa, during the Greek civil war and the dictatorship of the colonels of 1967.
The actual origin of the name of the island has not been elucidated. According to legend, shepherds from Western Greece settled the island and because they were in the majority men gave the island the name Polyandros. The Venetians changed this name of the island calling it Polykandros. Others sources of the island appears with the name pheleckgundari, which is of Phoenician origin and means "stony ground". A third version says that the island took its name from the first settler, the son of King Minos, Folegandros. The last interpretation is justified by the effort of the locals to justify the name of their place and the story of their past to acquire a foundation.
The inhabitants of the island deal mainly with the agriculture and the livestock-farming but there is also a small number of fishermen. Each home consumes meat, dairy and vegetables from their own production. The locals selling fish and livestock products in the markets of Athens, when there is a surplus. There is also a portion of men who deal exclusively with construction jobs. In recent years, however, the increase of visitors to the island during the summer months has led many families in dealing with tourist enterprises.

Businesses both online and offline are advancing beyond the basics of social media marketing, for example they are not just establishing a presence at social networking sites so why not adapt and adopt some of the best practices into your own business?
For example if you are not using your e-mail messages to remind your contacts engage with you on social networks why not give it a try? A simple P.S. with a reminder to "Like", "Link", + or follow you on Twitter could go a long way in engaging your sphere of influence on a whole new level.
Businesses must factor in the recent announcements from the leading search engines which publicly anounce that their algorithms are changing. Due to this data both businesses and business owners can get ahead of the power curve and get more social signals such as client testamonials or recommendations, product and service reviews as well as news and anouncements about enhancements or promotional messages.
So what does this mean for your email, social and search strategies? It means that as b2b marketers, we should expect to see these channels continue to converge, becoming more tightly integrated over time. I know you're thinking that email is not social. We can, however, consider email the original social digital channel; it's been used for many years to connect people and businesses.
Motivate your existing client base and customers to refer friends and colleagues to your business via a social referral program where you reward your clients with an incentive if they refer friends who, in turn, become new customers.
When planning an e-mail campaign with social integration remember that a highly targeted email sent to your existing customers can result in more traffic to your website. This also creates higher-quality traffic that could result in higher overall traffic rates plus you can monitor how much time users spend on the site and where they go when they leave your site.
Keep in mind that the e-mail and social marketing space continues to change rapidly, remain aware of the changes so that you can adapt and maximize your outcome. Recent research indicates that referals created from social networking are not equal to word-of-mouth referrals that typically convert five times faster then that of other referrals however, it is much more effective then just send an e-mail by itself.
Using e-mail and social to turn existing customers into effective social marketing channels while creating sales from those social referrals is now one of the leading marketing methods by leading businesses of all sizes. This strategy will yeild both long and short term benefits which will last as long as you adapt to the changing landscape of social and e-mail marketing strategies.
What is your favorite way to combine e-mail with social networking?

Parent Testimonies
"I am extremely happy with the way my daughter has progressed with her social and learning skills during her Pre-K program. The program has offered an excellent facility where she enjoys learning in a fun-filled way. She has developed interest for writing, enjoys yoga, and looked forward to going to school each day. Jess has done an excellent job in sharing, caring and teaching values, while staying committed and offering a superior quality of education for her students. I am glad Maya has gotten the opportunity to be a part of the PreK family, at Peaceful Heart!"
"There are not enough kind words to describe Jess's teaching style and her beautiful way with the kids. She is soft spoken and uses every moment as an opportunity to teach. She values good nutrition and taking care of our bodies. I especially love her commitment to the children, their families and the community. Jess teaches the kids what it means to be good characters and how that looks. Her classroom and lessons were organized but with help from the kids so that they were in control of what their day looked like. We are so grateful that our daughter had the opportunity to be in Jess's classroom and look forward to her taking some yoga classes with her as well."
"Mrs. Jess's guidance, love, and friendship impacted my daughter greatly. She empowered her with a solid educational foundation, verbal skills to problem-solve, and confidence in herself and her abilities. Mrs. Jess brings out the finest in every child she encounters, enabling them to see the best in themselves and others."
"As far as teaching style and things we appreciated about you...Your patience! You always got down on the children's eye level to talk to them in a calm, friendly way which I know Kids respond to so much better. You were sensitive to our beliefs about not celebrating certain holidays and touched on why its ok for people to be different, and tried to explain this to the kids on their level. Thank you for your creativity in the classroom."
"Both of us believe that his development has been heavily influenced by his preschool experience that you lead. We all saw the substantial growth that occurred through last year and want you to know he has continued to flourish in school. Hats off to you Jess! We fully support yoga and mindfulness in schools and would love to see you work with his Kindergarten class this year. We think it would be a perfect fit."
"Our son loves Peaceful Heart Preschool. Ms. Jess has provided him with a wonderful outlet for his energy and imagination, while encouraging growth both socially and academically. He is better at finding solutions independently when interacting with his peers, and is fascinated by everything he has been learning."

"One thing that has sustained cartoon is that it is least prone to manipulation, least censorable and a least influenced form of expression," said cartoonist Hemant Morparia.
Mr. Morparia of Mumbai Mirror, along with cartoonists Keshav of The Hindu, E.P. Unny of The Indian Express were participating in a session on "Drawing a line between being funny and provocative," at the first Mario Miranda Cartoon Festival organised by Sunaparanta-Goa Centre for Arts in association with Literature Live on Sunday. Ms. Malvika Sangghvi chaired the session.
The festival began with a keynote address by veteran journalist Vinod Mehta on "Lack of Humour in Indian Public Life" on Saturday evening. The fete ended at the Reis Magos Fort on Sunday evening. Goa Governor Bharat Vir Wanchoo was present as chief guest for the closing ceremony. Chairman of the Sunaparanta Centre and industrialist Dattaraj Salgaocar and Ms. Dipti Salgaocar, chairperson of the Reis Magos Trust, were present.
A lively session on "The Art of Caricature" chaired by Amy Fernandes had V.G. Narendra and Gujjarappa B.G. demonstrating the art of caricature inviting appreciation from the delegates, while Abhay Sardesai, Editor of Literature Live, articulating on the art of caricature.
At another discussion on whether cartooning be elevated to the position of art, coordinated by Festival Director Anil Dharker, Mr. Gujjarappa forcefully said it was indeed an art while Mr. Morparia left it to the choice of the audience.
Earlier, speaking on "Drawing the line between funny and provocative," Mr. Keshav said there were two ways to look at the issue. "Ninety per cent of the idea determines what you want to say or on what you want to say. If you have been provocative, you are converting anger into humour. Reader sees it with a laugh, what he would have otherwise said with anger."
Mr. Unny said it was eventually the art of cartooning. "Some are provocative, some are funny. I don't think you need to draw a line." Mr. Morparia, on the other hand, felt provocation came from politicians. Cartoon, he said, was democratic and it had to be that way. "It depends on style and spur of the moment," he said.
Responding to a question from Ms. Sangghvi, he said, the controversial Danish cartoon was meant to be provocative. "They were not spontaneous. They were solicited," he said, but he felt a cartoon should be spontaneous.
"When you have something to say, you have to say it. It cannot be intended to provoke," he said, and argued that in the West, for instance, there was a deliberate way of testing things like freedom of expression.
Referring to the arrest of Aseem Trivedi over cartoons some time ago, Mr. Unny said the issue brought the state in the picture for the first time, whereas all the while it was editor-cartoonist-reader issue. And since then it had caught on, and now "we have Chief Ministers of some States who want to arrest cartoonists, some others want to finish cartoonists, etc."
What was worst, according to him, was the charge of sedition in the Aseem case. "Aseem was only a cartoonist, he was not a terrorist," he said.
On Shankar's Nehru-Ambedkar cartoon controversy, Mr. Keshav said it was the case of misunderstanding over "visualness of language."
Mr. Morparia described the whole controversy and outrage as a cynical enterprise and the whole debate as a "cleverly orchestrated 'centre-staging' of politics aimed at exclusion."
On the limits of freedom of expression, the cartoonists admitted that they had to be careful and sensitive. "Free speech cannot be for the sake of free speech. There has to be a context. Intimidation and deliberate provocation were also not acceptable."
To a question, Mr. Keshav said cartooning was used to reflect the public mood. "We cannot be under illusion that you can change the society. It is reflecting public mood. You make a point strongly over what you strongly feel about," he said.
Responding to a question on why freedom of speech be curbed, Mr. Morparia said, "In an ideal state, yes, but we live in a state which is far from being ideal."

Building the Right Environment to Support AI, Machine Learning and Deep Learning
A couple of years ago, many Windows Server professionals were expecting to use Windows Scripting Host (WSH) for administrative jobs such as collecting performance data. However, security vulnerabilities led to that tool's fall from grace. Most turned to UNIX and its powerful scripting facilities, which don't carry the weight associated with facilitating similar features in Windows.
UNIX shells contain numerous tiny utilities that hold to the maxim: "do one thing and do it well." However, the way to tap into the real power of these shells is to leverage the output of one program as input to the next by using pipes and redirection. Attaining similar functionality in Windows requires significantly more overhead, including a framework, another language(s), and even a new IDE (Did we just invent YASDE?).
All this extra stuff was necessary because commands that came with the command shell were basically the same ones you got from, say, DOS 2.0, when "print" became part of the command processor instead of an application. That is, as we were swallowed up by the hegemony of the GUI, it took more and more horsepower to do what previously was direct and efficient.

Get Children Ready for Kindergarten!
If you have children in your family who will be entering kindergarten in the near future, make sure they get off to a great start! Here are helpful tips on kindergarten readiness from OnTrack of Washington County.
By improving access to quality early childhood education, more of our children can enter kindergarten with the foundational knowledge, skills and behaviors that allow them to fully participate and succeed in school.
The track record shows Pre-K is one of the most effective ways to prepare children to enter kindergarten ready to succeed.
Look here for more information on WCPS free full-day Pre-K and Preparing for Kindergarten.
- Read, read, read!: Read with your child daily (beginning at infancy) to develop necessary language and literacy skills.
- Model social skills: Skills such as sharing, taking turns, seeking adult help when needed, using positive words, and managing anger.
- Practice counting and number recognition: Count aloud as you swing, walk upstairs, etc., and take time daily to count objects like your child's snack, toys, and other items to promote number sense. Point out numbers in public places and at home. Teach your child to count to 20 or more.
- Build self-esteem!: Praise your child often. His/her brain is still growing, and all the positive words you instill will be a great encouragement to your child.
- Teach basic writing: Teach your child how to write his/her first name and other simple words.
- Exercise fine motor skills: Give your child many opportunities to use their fine motor skills such as holding a pencil, coloring, zipping and buttoning, and cutting with scissors.
- Practice letter and sound recognition: After practicing letter and sound recognition, look for those letters and the sounds they make in the books you are reading.
- Teach your child responsibility skills: Examples include cleaning up messes, dressing themselves, getting their own snacks, and other self-help skills.
- Talk with your child daily: This helps him/her develop a great vocabulary.
- Explore and observe: Allowing your child to interact with nature is a natural fit for giving him/her opportunities to explore and observe their environment.
- Play, play, play!: Play is a developmentally appropriate way for children to grow and learn. Play with your child, and allow your child to play with others.
Antietam Broadband has partnered with OnTrack, a coalition of community partners focused on creating an educational movement and network of support for Washington County residents from cradle to career. The goal is to empower citizens to acquire the educational and/or career credentialing training necessary for lifelong success.

Bonds – this is not 1994
- It is a relatively quiet day for data. The winner of the Nobel Prize for Economics is to be announced (sadly, this does not tend to go to market-based economists). The media continue to give the US government bond sell-off a level of attention that is out of all proportion to the actual move in yields (which has very little economic relevance).
- China has returned from holiday to a weaker equity market (expected), a reserve requirement ratio reduction (increasing liquidity in the economy, not a real surprise), and a visit from the US secretary of state (not really relevant to anyone).
- Brazil's first round presidential election race has advanced relatively extreme candidates (of the left and the right) into the second round. The right wing candidate won over 46% of the vote, with the left wing candidate winning around 30% of the vote. This was generally expected by investors.
- On Friday, the EU wrote a stern letter to the Italian finance minister saying that the Italian budget is off track. The Italian finance minister probably knew this already. The Italian position is that they don't care, and that everything will change after next year's European elections.
