Nielsen Offers Meter Compromise
Nielsen Media Research came up with an 11th-hour compromise Tuesday in an attempt to appease groups opposing the launch of the New York "Local People Meter." They didn't sound appeased.
Nielsen said it would go forward with the New York LPM on Thursday as planned, but that the old system would remain in place for three more months. Both services may be used for buying and selling ad time, Nielsen said.
Meanwhile, all the concerned parties will have three more months to compare both sets of data. Shortly before Nielsen revealed its new plan, the Fox-backed Don't Count Us Out Coalition said it was launching a new print campaign against Nielsen Media Research and its decision to go forward with the LPM in New York on Thursday, June 3.
The coalition said the campaign would include print ads in Los Angeles and Chicago, where Nielsen says it will launch the LPM later this year. Ads will also run in Washington, where Fox has lobbied hard to get politicians to investigate the ratings company.
"What will it take for Nielsen to hear us," the latest ad asks, noting that demands from local and state politicians in the three markets as well as a number of U.S. Senators and congressman to delay the new ratings service have gone unheeded by Nielsen.
The ad also notes that Univision has separate issues with the service (younger Hispanics under-represented in the New York LPM household sample) and that the Media Rating Council has so far not accredited the New York service. Nielsen says it will work with the MRC to address its issues, noting that it took a year after the Boston LPM was up and running before the MRC accredited that service.
Univision says it is pro-LPM in theory, as does the MRC, and may eventually back the New York LPM, but only if and when Nielsen corrects the sample. It wasn't happy with the announcement, however, saying the side-by-side ratings "will confuse advertisers and the public, waste time and money with duplicative and conflicting data, and debase the value of Nielsen research."
The Coalition's response to the compromise: "Inadequate, arrogant and unacceptable."

Red iPhone XS and XS Max Rumored to Launch in China This Month, Again Dropping PRODUCT(RED) Branding
A red variant of the iPhone XS and XS Max could be launching in China sooner rather than later, if a social media rumor proves to be accurate.
A Weibo post spotted by iPhoneHacks.com claims Apple will launch the red color models by the end of this month, in a bid to boost struggling iPhone sales in the region.
The leaker, who claims to have received the tip from sources in Apple's supply chain, says that Apple will call the model "China Red," and not the PRODUCT(RED) branding that the company typically associates with the color.
Apple globally launched a mid-cycle (PRODUCT)RED edition iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus in March 2017 and a similar edition for the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus in April 2018, so the timing wouldn't be completely off. Apple already sells a (PRODUCT)RED variant of the iPhone XR.
There's also precedent for Apple using a different name in China – the company dropped the PRODUCT(RED) branding in the country for both the iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 models, instead promoting them simply as additional colorways.
Apple has partnered with the (RED) Global Fund for nearly 13 years to sell a variety of red-colored devices and accessories. For each product sold, Apple makes an unspecified contribution to HIV/AIDS charity. However sex remains a controversial issue in China, where AIDS and HIV have been characterized in the past as a consequence of contact with the West.
Despite the lack of any PRODUCT(RED) mention in China, Apple CEO Tim Cook assured MacRumors in a March 2017 email that the company upholds its charitable Global Fund donations commitment for every special edition red iPhone sold in every country in the world, with or without said branding.
If there's any weight to today's rumor of a red iPhone XS and XS coming to China, it could potentially signal the early launch of PRODUCT(RED) versions for the rest of the world, although nothing is certain. Rumors last year of a mid-cycle PRODUCT(RED) edition of the iPhone X never transpired, for example.
It's also worth noting that several Chinese mobile makers will be launching their 2019 flagship phones over the next couple of months, so Apple may be using new red iPhone models as a counterweight to new rival devices on the market.
Top Rated Comments(View all)
You do realize that the color red in China is a very popular color, right? It symbolizes 'Good luck and Fortune', so even if this rumor was true, I think a Product red iPhone would do very well in China regardless of the Chinese New year or not.If that's the case, there should have been a red iPhone from the beginning. It all starts with understanding the market where you want to sell for.
That's the problem with Apple these days. They don't even know where they have to compete with in certain markets or what the demand for is.
That's probably the reason for the big fail in India too. Selling an old SE while you already can get a full spec phone with big OLED screen for half the price of an SE.
Apple is so out of touch in so many markets :mad:
Dropping (PRODUCT) from it is a real jagoff move illustrating that instead of educating the communists, they'd rather pander to their (entirely wrong), government-dictated "culture."

it's pot time
June 7, 2018 | Comments Off
I'm in the process of getting my medical marijuana card! A couple of years ago, my pain management doctor recommended me getting one back when I still lived in New Jersey. If I'm remembering right, there was like only one doctor and one dispensary, and they were both in the northern part of the state which would have been a pain in the ass to get to. Fast forward to this past February, the therapist I had been talking to for an issue (more on that later) said I should look into it for my anxiety. Here in Pennsylvania, doctors are just beginning to get certified to approve people, and more and more dispensaries are slowly opening. I filled out the online piece of the process, and yesterday I met with a doctor to see if he'd approve me or not. He's also a pain management doctor, so I had to bring a bunch of information to the appointment (records, mri reports, list of medications, etc…) regarding my chronic pain. I also mentioned the anxiety, but mainly we talked about my various lower back issues. Either way, I want to try it for both problems, and he quickly approved me! I thought there'd be a hiccup because the nurse who came in before him said I needed to be a patient of his practice in order to get the card. In no way did I want to switch doctors, so I'm glad she was misinformed. But, yeah, I had a mini heart attack while waiting. Anyway, he said he had to fill out some paperwork and that he'd get back to me in two days or so. Then I'll take whatever he gives me, go back to the site to complete whatever steps are left, and then wait for the card to come in the mail. I was hoping to try a pot cookie or lollipop, but edibles aren't available in this state. I think there are pills, creams, lotion, tincture, and a couple of other options. The doctor also said that there's potential for it not working at all or for even making the issues worse. Yikes. He also mentioned that the cymbalta I take is possibly cutting down the effectiveness of the other drugs I am on. I see my pain management doctor next week, so I'll bring that up. The thing is that she doesn't prescribe that to me for my depression but because the drug is supposed to block one of my pain receptors. I'm not sure there's another antidepressant that does both. Again, yikes. Anyway, I guess I'll ask her about that and hope for the best – and also hope to find this medical marijuana stuff to be more beneficial than not!

An application to the Capital and Loss Assessment under Stress Scenarios (CLASS) Model
In this paper authors test the approach on the credit loss component of the "Capital and Loss Assessment under Stress Scenarios" model (CLASS) as an empirical example to demonstrate how it can influence the validation outcomes.
The results show that this model does not capture changes in the underlying parameters of risk behavior under severly adverse economic conditions, such as those observed during the great financial crisis, therefore giving a false sense of security. The use of non-linear models, however, can circumvent this pitfall.

So you guys know I'm a denim girl through and through, right? Right. 7/7 days of the week, (outside of work and sweats after a long day) you'll find me in a pair of jeans. What can I say, I'm more comfortable in pants ?. All of that being said, once it starts to warm up, I'll get an itch to switch it up a bit. These days, I'm rarely reaching for a mini or a bodycon and instead go for long and flowy midi or maxi-length skirts and dresses. perfect spring look
There's something so fun and effortless about dressing down a midi, and you know what? It's easy. When I first saw this satin midi skirt from Mango, I knew I wanted it (I mean…the color) even though I didn't know what on earth I was going to wear it with. Have you been there? (literally me ALL the time). perfect spring look
I wanted to create a casual look that was still put together all the while feeling super comfortable in my non-pants. And then I found it – the perfect foolproof effortless spring combo with just 4 simple pieces: my midi skirt, a graphic tee, a boyfriend denim jacket + sneakers. perfect spring look
There are SO many ways to wear this style and I love how you can totally stick with the same jacket and sneakers and rotate out a few fun tees and skirts in order to create so many different possibilities.
Click on any of the numbers in the collages to shop!
RIGHT / This combo is more on the neutral side, which I love. The ocean blue satin with the dark denim is the perfect pair for a neutral tee and sneaks.
RIGHT / I just picked up this tee for under $15 and already have thought of a million ways to style it. The rose sneaks are the perfect way to tie in the pink to this look.
This whole look is so cute and well put together! I love your glasses too!
I'm completely the same way about jeans! I do love this skirt on you though!
Love your skirt! The color is gorgeous!
Okay I just LOVE this tee and basically the entire ensemble.
Ah thank you Ada!
Couldn't agree more! Those are four perfect pieces to create a cute spring look. Adore your skirt and tee shirt.
xo Laura Leigh
Thanks for stopping by Laura Leigh! xx
Totally swooning over the color!! & I love how you styled it girl! So cute for Spring!

Isn't it gorgeous?! Blues + teals will forever be my favorite.
I am a huge fan of graphic tees! They look so cute no matter what you pair them with.
Right?! Couldn't agree more! They'll never go out of style for me 🙂
This outfit is so cute and I'm obsessed with your denim jacket. Love it!!
Love all of the looks you put together – so cute! And I am OBSESSED with that graphic tee. So adorable!

That tee looks so cute. Love how you styled with the skirt
Omg this tee is TOO cute! Loving this mint skirt too.

Cloud-sourcing. Outsourcing. Consortial sourcing. Institutional sourcing. Collaborative sourcing. Clearly, technologies and IT services are being delivered to colleges and universities in a myriad of ways. Whereas in the past the role of the IT organization was to provide IT services to the campus community—known (now) as insourcing—over time that role has subtly but concretely changed. IT leaders today must not only provide but also decide: which tools and services should they continue to supply, which are better delivered by others, and perhaps most critically, which methods from among the bewildering array of alternative sourcing strategies will best serve their faculty, staff, and students.
In 2009, the EDUCAUSE Center for Analysis and Research (ECAR) published Alternative IT Sourcing Strategies: From the Campus to the Cloud, by Philip Goldstein. The author defined "alternative sourcing" as "the range of options institutions have for providing technology services or operating technology functions aside from doing it themselves. This includes traditional outsourcing of all or part of the IT organization, accessing cloud services and externally managed applications, development environments, or hardware via the Internet, and use of contractors and consultants as a part of the IT organization."
EDUCAUSE Review recently asked six CIOs to talk about alternative IT sourcing strategies and about whether they are, or aren't, "doing it themselves" at their institutions.
The Cloud as an IT Sourcing Strategy
Vice President & CIO
Kent State University
IT leaders get it. It's old news: reduced budgets, higher expectations, increased complexity, and shorter technology obsolescence periods. Further, we know the IT value proposition does not rest with baseline IT services (though no higher-level IT value can be obtained without these services).
With institutional budgets in crisis mode and increased demands on our IT investments, the need to thoroughly assess how we deliver both baseline IT support and IT development efforts has never been more critical. If you are having trouble keeping up with all the new service demands, a new service model, such as the cloud, may be a solution. To evaluate the cloud, we first need to ask: can the cloud be leveraged to develop new services more quickly and without spending more money than necessary? Sure, cloud service providers tout their features as forming a more scalable and elastic environment, all with a consumption-based utilization model, but is it true?
I think so.
Baseline Infrastructure Operations: Current State
Most IT departments have long since learned how to maintain the information infrastructure well. Reliable and relevant baseline IT services have become commonplace. Keeping the bits flowing and protected, maintaining a messaging environment, managing a multifaceted contact center, providing electronic storage solutions, and running data center services are routine operations. Most baseline services operate with three 9's reliability (99.9% uptime). So why tinker with success by moving to other support models, such as the cloud's Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)?
To save money? If you are like me, you have not used the words "savings" and "IT" in the same sentence for years! We all know the difficulty inherent in measuring IT savings or cost reductions. The benefits often show up somewhere else in the academy, in the form of elevating a clerk to an analyst, reducing paper handling, improving customer satisfaction, or enhancing access to information. All are equally hard to measure, and any savings will likely not be in the IT budget.
Baseline Infrastructure Operations: Future State
Why risk a disruptive change in the support model if everything is working reliably? After all, the cloud is just another outsourcing solution, and we continuously evaluate outsourcing solutions. We select an outsourcing solution not to save money but to obtain a quality of service not otherwise obtainable on our own. Can the cloud actually provide higher-quality solutions by better leveraging advanced virtualization and storage techniques? Can the cloud really help with the unprecedented data growth—or at least control the costs? Some might suggest that the cloud is indeed about cost savings, but with a few exceptions, I don't think savings is the key attribute. The most important benefits center around solving an age-old problem: the ratio of staff support to staff development. That is, cloud services can minimize operational costs, thereby increasing staff availability for IT development efforts.
I think of the cloud as a service-delivery model rather than a specific type of technology. The cloud offers the potential to deploy services faster by off-loading the tasks of buying, receiving, paying for, and installing hardware and software, patch management, change management, monitoring, and troubleshooting. The cloud also offers consumption-based pricing and capacity on demand. But again, the most valuable benefit is the opportunity to reduce distractions resulting from the maintenance operation and concurrently repurpose operational staff efforts toward developmental services.
Repurposing baseline services to the cloud sets the stage to better utilize full-time employees to learn institutional business needs and to build long-term relationships with the campus community. With more time for assessment, staff can develop a clearer understanding of the needs of the business or academic unit they serve. These service assessments can aid in the recruiting and retaining of students, can help simplify administrative processes, can improve the learning experience, and can support the research agenda.
A Difficult Move
Moving to the cloud is not a light-hearted, short-term endeavor. During the shift, running cloud services and premise-based systems concurrently for an extended period of time is difficult. The effort also requires one-time investment funds. The transition will be a multi-year effort that involves living in both worlds (accruing both on-premise and cloud-based costs). Finally, before moving to the cloud, IT leaders need to compare costs, develop new skills, and determine security requirements.
Comparing costs can be tricky. Learning the true fiscal impact of a consumption-based pricing model and confirming if capacity on demand will in fact meet peak usage needs should be at the root of cloud evaluation efforts. Leveling off or normalizing capital expenditures over time sounds attractive. Moving to a completely operational expenditure environment (no institution-owned equipment) may help develop a multiyear budget model, but doing so likely won't reduce the expense of operations. Redesigning the existing activity based costing model in order to compare the actual costs of the current support model with that of the cloud prices will be challenging.
To ensure that service level agreements (SLAs) properly serve the new cloud-provider arrangement, IT leaders will need to develop new staff skills such as contract and vendor relationship management (truth is, we should already have these skills within our staff). Creating and managing SLAs within the contract to ensure key components such as monitoring, interoperability, data recovery and backup, real-time metrics, and the penalties that result from noncompliance will be required. The metrics tracked by cloud providers differ from those tracked by premise-based systems, requiring full-time staff to create and monitor these SLA measurements.
Lastly, IT leaders must determine which security requirements should be requested of cloud providers and how to ensure they are followed. Leaders should outline the security audit requirements and expectations of the cloud providers. Enhanced security may be more obtainable in the cloud, but we need techniques to verify that security.
The Cloud at the Application Level
With Software as a Service (SaaS), the vendor hosts the software application (in the cloud) and the customer provides the data to make it useful. This enables the application to be available from a browser anywhere.
Currently, complete institutional data systems such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems do not exist in the cloud for higher education (i.e., all tier-one modules integrated into a unified architecture in the cloud). Only a few traditional ERP modules are available in the cloud (employee benefits, payroll, procurement, finance, etc.). If you choose these SaaS offerings, plan for additional complexity and expense in order to integrate them with your core premise-based student information system. Building the interfaces needed to interconnect all applications will not be a new experience, but these interfaces differ in that they interconnect between multiple physical locations.
With limited sourcing options available for our institutional data systems, we will need to work with our ERP software providers to help define the maintenance efforts of these complex systems in order to implement a new ERP support model in the cloud. Additionally, potential shared services arrangements among institutions will also require this effort. Standardizing the ERP maintenance effort will be necessary no matter which option we select.
The Kent State Model
The Kent State University sourcing model involves an ongoing, multi-tiered assessment. First, we are ensuring that we maintain good relationships with our key vendors such as SunGard, Dell, Blackboard, Cisco, Microsoft, and Google and that we understand their future directions. It appears many of them are developing partnerships to provide enhanced services. My sense is that these partnerships will be needed in order to meet the needs of higher education. For example, Google and Blackboard could develop a more seamless collaboration space visible between their products, or Google and Cisco could ensure that unified communications and calendar presence work properly.
Second, we are updating our activity-based costing model that identifies current cost elements, per the business service they provide. The cost model doesn't need to be exact in order to enable a cost comparison between all future support models, such as an operational expense-based model (OpEx) in the cloud.
Third, we are developing criteria to consider solutions that concurrently solve more than one problem, such as the following:
- Outsourcing functions, such as moving our help desk to Blackboard, which would extend hours of operation without adding staff, deploy new services such as chat and scheduled call-back appointments via the web, and enable badged employees to create more useful knowledge database articles
- Developing a daily back-up system that would also serve as a disaster-recovery method
- Moving e-mail to the cloud (Gmail) to both save money and give students what they prefer
And finally, we are utilizing tier-one vendors' partnership programs, such as SunGard's tiered business system. Picking vendors that have already invested R&D dollars to integrate multiple software systems helps ensure that we don't have to build duplicative API interfaces.
The difficulty in the cloud discussion lies in the transition, not in the decision to move to the cloud. Institutions will need to develop a sourcing strategy to manage their entry into the cloud. Though transition details will be complex, those of us in higher education have lived through such transitions before: mainframes and servers co-exist; UNIX and Windows operating systems co-exist. Cloud-based and premise-based computing support models will co-exist as well.
See ya in the clouds!

For the fourth time in eight years, the Office of the Vice President for Diversity and the Office of Institutional Research, Planning & Effectiveness are asking all faculty and staff to share their perspectives and experiences about working at CSU through the Employee Climate Survey.
"Every person's voice matters," said Mary Ontiveros, vice president for diversity. "We want to hear from everyone about what's working, what causes problems in your job, and places where we can improve the experience for all faculty, staff and students. But we can't improve if we don't know what's not going well."
This year, the survey includes questions specific to departments and units, to allow university leadership to better respond to employee concerns. You can see how the results of previous surveys have been reported on the OVPD website.
The Employee Climate Survey has been available since Oct. 2, and you should have received an email from your unit leadership with a link to complete it. If you do not have this link, or would rather respond in a different format, you can find the survey here; be sure to click on your division/college's survey link.
Top 10 questions about the Employee Climate Survey
How is the survey created, and by whom?
The survey is developed by the Assessment Group for Diversity Issues , a committee of the Office of the Vice President for Diversity. In addition to the VPD's office, members include representatives from Classified Personnel Council; Administrative Professional Council; Faculty Council and other faculty members; Institutional Research, Planning & Effectiveness; and a graduate student. The committee meets over the course of a year to discuss themes, questions, and implementation of the survey for the campus. The group reaches out to various CSU constituencies to obtain feedback on which areas to focus on.
Is the data anonymous?
Yes! Links are not individualized and there is no way to identify respondents. Only Institutional Research, Planning, & Effectiveness sees the raw data.
What happens if the demographic information I respond to identifies me (e.g. I am the only one in my department who is a certain race/ethnicity and gender)?
No identifying data is reported under any circumstance. Any potentially identifying information is kept confidential and not even shared with the survey committee. Results have to have enough respondents before sharing to further ensure confidentiality. All demographic information is optional and there is a 'Decline to Answer' option for all demographic questions.
Do I have to submit online?
No! You can either download a paper copy of the survey (English or Spanish) or request paper copies via email. Please visit the website for instructions on obtaining and submitting English and Spanish paper versions of the survey.
What is the incentive to complete the survey?
Completing the survey provides important and valuable information that can be used to better inform CSU regarding areas that need to be improved and areas that can be strengthened on campus. This year, your results will be focused on providing feedback to division/college leaders specific to your divisions/colleges. Additionally, the 2018 survey includes an opportunity to be entered to win one of 25 CSU swag items.
I'm sooo busy – When is the survey due?
You are encouraged to complete the survey by Nov. 1.
Are there other opportunities to provide feedback?
Yes, focus groups will be conducted this winter. Please contact email@example.com if you are interested in participating. People will be randomly selected for participation.
There will also be two open forums and ALL employees are encouraged to attend one of them: Friday, Nov. 30, 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Lory Student Center Grey Rock Room OR Tuesday, Dec. 4, 3:30-5 p.m. at the LSC Room 382.
Does my division leader see the open-ended comments?
No. Only Institutional Research, Planning, & Effectiveness sees the raw data, and open-ended comments will not be shared with anyone. All identifying information and individual names will be removed before open-ended comments are coded. Results will only be presented in themes.
Are the results available to all employees?
The results will be shared in aggregate and presentations will be offered for those interested. Findings will be available Spring 2019 and will be posted here.
How is the data used after it is compiled and analyzed?
Customized data results and presentations help units better understand where they can improve. There is also a campus climate committee that meets regularly to address key findings, discuss needs of employees and the campus as a whole, and to track the processes of recommendations made for campus improvements. Findings from previous employee surveys have resulted in CSU expanding diversity and inclusion training; addressing the issue of bullying, which led to a formal policy in 2015; and implementing mandatory supervisor training.
For further questions, please contact email@example.com. To take the survey, please click here and find your division/college's survey link.

Wow hasn't 2014 just flown by?
Things are going great for us. John has been amazingly busy on weeknights and weekends building a better chicken/duck coop, extending the goat pen, building raised garden beds and clearing out the weed filled section behind our house. I have been busy with case work and surprisingly I have been doing a lot more nursing lately. Wound dressings, taking blood and even just basic things like following up girls who come in with pre-existing conditions. It has made me so happy to be able to use my nursing skills over here.
So biggest news…. Harriet the goat had a kid! We had 2 goats when I went to work one Monday.... and came home to three. WOW. SURPRISE!! Haha. I had been wondering about her weight and had questioned our vet friend about it multiple times. I had even tried to feel her up (Obviously not very well). But hey – a surprise cutie was so much fun!! His name is Frankie Lyle and he is one month old today. He is so much fun for our family and all the add-ons that come over. John has now added on an extra enclosure to the goat pen so that we can separate them if needed and they have more room. I am still milking Black Beauty daily, and we get enough milk for our family. Once Frankie starts to wean off Harriet, we will be getting a lot more milk – which means cheese, yogurt, feta and much more! Yum.
These past few months I have been taking a rescue girl home with me one day a week on my day off. She struggles in the Learning Centre Program a bit and so we organized for her to come and play with Charlotte, the animals and we often go for bike rides and get smoothies. It's a really sweet thing to see her loving on Charlotte like a big sister. She becomes a completely different girl at our house and it warms my heart. It also really reinforces the fact that this is what God is calling our family to do. Love on the girls that need a safe haven to come relax and heal.
Well Christmas is just around the corner! A good friend and I have been talking about how hard Christmas is being here – away from the family and festive-ness that comes with Christmas back home. So we decided to do something different. We are going to open our home on Christmas day and serve the local Buddhist community. We want to feed them a Christmas Feast, give them small gifts, play with their children, love on them and most importantly tell them about Jesus. Please pray for us as we start to organise this. Pray that people come, they like our food and that God uses us to preach His love. If you would like to support this event in any way shape or form, please send me a message. All presents and food left over will be taken to a poor village on Boxing Day to share there. So there is no downside!
Our GoFundMe site went really well to raise some funds for the farm land, but we still don't have enough to buy the land that we originally wanted. So right now we are still actively looking for smaller blocks of land and are just praying that we will be content to wait for His Perfect Timing. If you know me well, you know that this is just about the hardest thing you can ask me to do… sit and wait. But I am and I will do until we hear His voice clearly.
We can only get closer to our dreams!
Be blessed.

Dear Family and Friends!
If you aren't watching the Copa America, watch it! The States are in the semifinals with Argentina tomorrow!!!! VAMOS VAMOS USA!!!! Watch it for me, because I won't be allowed to:)
So today officially starts transfer number 17! The last one! I can't believe it! I feel like I just got to the mission! But now, my group is officially the oldest one! It doesn't seem real! And I'll be staying with Elder Trost, which'll be cool! Although we die at the same time… O well, that'll be a whitewash for Unión II! But this transfer is going to be the greatest transfer ever!!!!!!!!!!
Other than that, this week has been busy! There were two baptisms in the zone on Saturday, which was way cool! And we went to Puerto Madryn to get legal again (my comp and I have been illegal for 3 months, but finally we got the paper from Buenos Aires and got legal). They only threatend to kick us out once, and then they legalized us:) It helped that we were two gringos that knew how to speak Spanish well, and the person that was attending us was a talkative 20 year old girl:)
It was way cool though, because I saw something that Sea World doesn't have! Remember the whales from last week? Yeah, huge, much bigger than Sea World will ever have! Let alone train to jump completely out of the water! It was so cool! I wish I could have filmed it! I'm talking a HUGE WHALE, jump COMPLETELY OUT OF THE WATER!!!! Just think a semi truck throwing itself out of the water, and then the splash that would follow!!!! SO COOL!!!!!
Also, real quick, I want to share a quick thought that we talked about in a missionary council a couple of weeks ago, about inviting others to receive the gospel. Someone said, if we are not willing to invite someone to hear the gospel, we are not truly their friends. It was kinda harsh, but it is so true. This gospel is the only thing that will save people, and we are the only ones that have it. So we need to share it!
¡Les quiero mucho! And GO AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hotline repost: Boston synthpop heroes Freezepop were one of the first bands to really take advantage of this whole "music in video games," so it was kind of a bum-out to see they weren't a part of the PAX East gamer showcase taking over the city this weekend. Especially since it's PAX's first time here in the Hub, and Freezepop have been doing their blip-blop electronic thing way before everyone went out and bought keyboards with the money received for trading in their guitars at Mr Music.
But hey, evs city, right? Because they're not the kind of band to be outdone by just about anything, the 'Pop is taking over Café 939 near Berklee for a fun little matinee gig tomorrow, allowing PAX attendees from out of town to get a tasty treat from one of Boston's finest. As an added bonus, Videodrome VJ/DJ Craig MacNeil adds his vintage sights and sounds before his party at Allston's CommonGround gets rolling later that evening. Last time Freezepop played with the sun still shining, it was their 10th anniversary shows at Harper's Ferry, so you know this day-lit rave-up is special. Here's the word from the band's Facebook invite:
Saturday, March 27 - Boston, at Cafe 939, 939 Boylston St. (right across the street from PAX!) with vintage VJ/DJ delights, courtesy of Videodrome! Doors at 4 pm. $10, all-ages! And it's a pretty small venue, so you might wanna think about getting advance tickets. (Also, not an official PAX event, meaning, a. you don't need a PAX badge to get in, and b. you can't use a PAX badge to get in.)
a lil' backstory for everyone who was like "OMG they're not at PAX, whaaaat?": the PAX folks juggle their lineup and rotate out bands every few years, and it's our turn to sit this one out. but then we started hearing from folks who were sad since they're going to be in town, but won't get to see us. and then we figured, hey, we live in boston, let's do something about that. we had an opportunity to play at cafe 939, which is actually a venue we've been interested in for a while, and bonus, it's right across the street from PAX! we're doing an afternoon show, so as not to conflict with the official PAX concert, and it's happening right after the music panel on saturday. it'll be a fun time, i am reasonably sure.
a lil' backstory for anyone who's like "what's PAX?": never mind, just come to our show. it'll be a fun time, i am reasonably sure.

While I was at the conference last week my hubby and his brothers spent a day chopping hay silage.
Hay silage is harvested the same way as our corn silage- with the chopper. What is corn silage you ask? For more info go here, it is a post from a few years ago that will give you a quick run down.
Basically the hay is cut and is lying on the ground. The chopper picks it up, chops it into tiny pieces and blows it into our trucks.
Once the truck gets full it is driven back to our main farm place and dumped into a bunker where it is packed down and tarped, just like the corn silage pile in the Fall.
Hay silage is just one portion of a feed regimen that we have our cattle on. We work with a nutritionist to ensure we are feeding our cattle just what they need.

Moodle Monday - the Poll Block
Happy Monday, fellow Moodlers!
Today I'm going to share about the Poll block that can be used to run little one question polls on your Moodle site.
This poll has the flexibility of being added to the front page, so everyone can contribute; or it can be added within a course for only course members. Probably its biggest shortcoming is that you can only have one Poll block on the page. However, the block can be edited so you have many questions set up within it, so you can change to a new question as desired.
Some uses you may find for this block in the classroom:
-for pre & post knowledge testing (since it archives answers you can compare results between the poll questions as long as you create 2 different questions-even if you are asking the same question)
-asking questions about current content, such as novel readings, current events, answers to homework questions, etc
-quickly gathering data, such as for use in math or science
-fun student polls
-choosing a topic or topics
School-wise, this block can be used on the front page to quickly collect information from all school users.
Since it is a block, you add it to your side block area, either left or right.
Once added you will see:
(of course, the looks of this may be a little different depending on your theme)
To begin using the Poll block, click on the icon to begin editing it. There are four parts to editing the Poll
1. Configure Block: choose which poll question to display and the title for the block
2. Create/Edit Poll: create your poll questions (you can create as many as you want), who can answer and the choices they pick from
3. Manage Poll: You can view, edit or delete your poll questions
4. View Responses: Gives a detailed list of respondents and their answers.
You actually want to start with the Create/Edit Poll area. You begin by giving the poll a short name and typing the question text: (The short name is simply for you to pick from the list if you have more than one question; the question text is what the users see when viewing the Poll.)
For Eligible users, you can select All, Teachers or Students.
The most confusing part of the Poll Block… where do you type in the possible responses? Well, first you pick your Option count and click Save changes. Then you can enter in your response choices:
(Remember: you can create as many questions ahead of time as you would like.)
Once you have created at least one question, click on the Configure Block tab. Now enter in the information that will show in the block on your course:
Pick the Poll name of the question you want to show, give the Block a title (give it a more generic title if you are going to use it with a series of questions), and pick the maximum graph width. Save changes, and your Poll is live!
What is neat about the Poll block is that it shows the question and choices to the user until they select their choice.
After that it changes to a graph of all responses:
You will notice that it will re-order the answers so that they are listed from most to least selected.
Have fun polling!

October 2007 | Volume 10 / Number 10
VAchieving Excellence
The editorial staff of INTERNET TELEPHONY® magazine is proud to announce the winners of the 2007 INTERNET TELEPHONY® Excellence Awards. These companies are as varied as there are products that fit under the IP telephony umbrella. In fact the only thing more varied than the vendors serving their customers are the customers themselves. And, as we can see from the following companies, they are increasingly turning to IP Communications solutions to build their businesses. This year's crop of award winners submitted case studies featuring a wide array of end users. For example:
One of the largest Windows Mobile-based smart-phone OEMs in the world has chosen one winner's technology to be integrated into its tri-band 3G phones, enabling them to offer incredibly fast speeds for Internet and video calling.
A Norwegian next-gen telco offering voice, data, IPTV, and video services over Fiber-to-the-Home selected the solution of one of this year's winners to enhance their mobile offering and expand their reach further into the mobile domain, as well as reduce churn of subscribers once they were on the network. The addition of quad play helps the carrier to confirm their reputation as a pioneering communications provider by supplying innovative FMC services that integrate VoIP with GSM and WLAN.
One winner's routing solution allowed their customer - a major Taiwanese telecommunications service provider - to effectively scale their residential and business service offerings to a nationwide customer base while simplifying overall network architecture and operations.
A Vietnamese expatriate wanted to find a way for his displaced countrymen to communicate. In the 1990s he founded a multifaceted business service provider for the Asian Community including: travel, accounting, calling cards and pin-less numbers. More recently, this entrepreneur also had a vision to connect his business enterprises and expand his services into the VoIP world and connect his U.S. customer base directly with Vietnam and Asia. By taking advantage of the services of one of this year's winners, he was able to build a successful business.
A Life Sciences consultancy providing professional services and learning solutions to the pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical devices industries needed a solution to help deliver superior service at reasonable cost, through "nomadic" teams of industry specialists. The platform had to be flexible enough to support a growing, geographically dispersed and regularly relocating professional staff. A hosted VoIP PBX from one of the award winners proved to be the solution.
The Bedford County, Pennsylvania Government encompasses a number of important public service entities. In 2007, the construction of a new $20M state-of-the-art facility was completed to bring together county department services under one roof. Because the previous phone systems at the various locations were antiquated, Bedford County opted to purchase and install a new 350 station communications system to meet the voice and data requirements for its new facility. They installed a converged solution from one of the award winners to support both digital and IP applications and offer the flexibility for users to grow their telephone system as needs adjust.
A major medical insurance company turned to an award-winning solutions provider to institute a custom Click-to-Talk solution to improve response times and increase customer satisfaction. The new solution is credited with reducing on-hold times from 50 minutes to about 12 seconds, allowing health care providers to better focus on their vital role in caring for their patients. Because the customer calls enter the queue via the Internet, neither the insurer nor the provider incurs telephone toll charges.
When a third-party logistics service provider offering services to companies that want to outsource the physical distribution of manufactured products began planning to move its operation to a new 100,000 square-foot warehouse, management was debating whether to invest in moving and reprogramming their existing phone system, which didn't provide the advanced features they needed, or go shopping for a new phone system. The firm decided to go with a phone system from one of the award winners.
A 60-person information technology consulting firm based in Manhattan has been delivering the promise of technology and business efficiency to small to mid-sized organizations. The company found itself needing to increase internal productivity and customer service levels by tracking support calls. They deployed an on-demand solution from an award-winning company to enable their decision makers and call center supervisors at mid-size businesses make intelligent decisions about staffing and call flow. The firm's average speedto- answer is now 10 percent faster, even with a 30 percent call volume increase during the same period with no increase in headcount.
Congratulations to the winners of the 2007 INTERNET TELEPHONY ® Excellence Awards. These companies all have proven products and services, and most importantly, customers that are willing to speak up and offer themselves as references.
And as we like to remind readers, always check out those customer references. These days - through the efforts of companies such as those gracing our winners' list - that's becoming ever-easier to do.

Well, readers, get cozy because I have a feeling this is going to be a long one.
As you know, I have been busy and away from blogging for a bit…more like a month. I promise to keep you up to date from now on. but with so many projects going on and the fundraiser creeping up on us slowly, it surely has been a bit hectic.
Speaking of the fundraiser, I have a few things that I would love to discuss with you. Just like the summer fundraiser, I am in charge of reaching out to organizations and businesses about donating items towards our fundraiser. Let me just say that I am super excited about this one because we have some pretty amazing items.
People requested that we have more packages that created memories and experiences. I could not have agreed more with this. I work for an organization that creates memories and experiences each day with all the guests that walk through the door. Thus, I have put together some amazing packages for our guests to bid on. I don't usually toot my own horn, but I am pretty impressed.
But readers, I need your help in reaching a goal. Just like last fundraiser, I created challenges for myself. This fundraiser I would like to have 50 items by Friday, November 17th. Yes, I said 50 items people. I am currently at 37 which seems so close, but I want to go above and beyond yet again.
My challenge to you is to reach out to me at firstname.lastname@example.com and ask me what items I am still seeking. I know this is a lot to ask, but all donations are tax deductible. Besides that thought, think about the fact that your donation will not just touch the lives of people that are coming to this event, but people far beyond that. We rely on these donations to help us with the fundraiser auctions.
Please spread the word because my voice can only go so far. I appreciate you reading this and passing the word. It truly touches my heart each time an organization or business donates an item.
Okay, so maybe, it wasn't a long one, but it was truly important for me to get this message out there. I hope you all enjoy the rest of your week and hey, the first snowfall hit Lincoln today. I truly love the first snow fall because it truly feels like I am in a snowglobe and time just stops.
Well readers, that is all for now! Continue to read the blogs and follow us on social media!

*Look out, minor spoilers for Valiant Hearts: The Great War, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Spec Ops: The Line ahoy!*Given the sheer number of military-themed games on the market, it's astounding to think how few of them ask you to think about the effects of war. The games industry is constantly aping Hollywood and yet, while the most memorable and successful war movies are the ones that leave you considering the nature of - to coin a phrase from Alan Partridge - 'man's inhumanity to man', games are lagging well behind in terms of such meaningful commentaries.As movies and books continue to expertly tackle sombre events - invasions, the atrocities within death camps and other cruelties - most war video games simply focus on the heat of conflict. They throw you into the shoes of the 'ultimate soldier' with the sole aim of bagging sweet kills against armies of unwavering evil.
Games like Call of Duty, Battlefield and, more recently Sniper Elite 3, are all exactly of this ilk. You shoot, kill, move on to your next target with not much in-between. In strategy games; kill, destroy, overwhelm, and move on. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with this, obviously; these mechanics tend to be super fun, plus not one of these games is built with such commentaries in mind, and I'm not about to pretend otherwise.They do, however, demonstrate just how systematic the production of war-themed video games has become. Yes, they capture the cold, merciless nature of warfare, but none of the emotional or moral ramifications that other mediums also portray well, particularly in the WW2/WW1 space.
There are exceptions, of course. Spec Ops: The Line is an obvious nomination, masterfully dealing with themes of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, moral shades of grey and the futility of choice. Brothers in Arms and Wolfenstein: The New Order have passed commentary on some finer points of war in their own little ways and even Call of Duty managed to be poignant just the once in Modern Warfare, forcing us to live through the difficult, dying actions of a soldier in the aftermath of a nuclear explosion.Nonetheless, these few represent meagre opposition to an overwhelming rule, and the thoughtful, emotional impact of war, for most part, pales in comparison to other areas of entertainment.
The only war game to have pulled any real emotional response from me (one where I had to tell myself I had something in my eye and everything) has been Ubisoft's Valiant Hearts: The Great War which, refreshingly, does a few things differently to your average war adventure.
Well, aside from not being a shooter or strategy game, of course.
Most importantly, Valiant Hearts sets its stall out to focus mostly, not on the Great War itself, but on the people directly affected by it.Uniquely, for example, you're offered a glimpse into the four protagonist's pre-war lives during their introductions. Emile, a humble farmer and loving father, is recruited into the French army after his German son-in-law Karl gets deported and forced to fight on the opposing side. We get to see idealistic Belgian student Anna at home before she leaves to become a battlefield medic, her enslaved father acting as her inspiration to help the war effort.
Given even a slight insight into each character's life, I was able to connect with the group far more than I've ever found possible with your typical gruff war-weary protagonist.Freddie, a U.S. volunteer, has his motivations only lightly explored in comparison, but it's enough of a platform through which to sympathise. Given even a slight insight into each life, I was able to connect with the group far more than I've ever found possible with your typical gruff war-weary protagonist.
Because of the atrocities performed during WW2, the Nazis have, over the years, become a standard for guilt-free bullet fodder in video-games. In WW1, however, portraying the German forces as evil becomes a lot more difficult. History doesn't paint the regime in the same light as their successors, especially when you consider the tales from the infamous Christmas Day truces, which saw soldiers from both sides fraternise, exchange gifts and in some areas even have a kick around with a football.
Valiant Hearts reinforces this by having you play on both sides of the war via Karl and Emile. Although Karl's motivating desire is always to get back to his wife and child in France and thus, he's never in the war for his nation, his playable inclusion means that you just can't 'other' the enemy as you can in most war games. Your enemy here is your friend, your family.
Emile too has an unexpected but notably amicable interaction with a German officer where, both stuck in the same perilous predicament, they help each other to escape. This is not only utterly heart-warming in its execution, but also helps to further blur those lines between the tropes of 'good guys' and 'bad guys'.The comedic overplaying of the villainous Baron Von Dorf does admittedly fly in the face of this at times, but it doesn't derail the direction entirely, especially as the Allied forces themselves aren't exactly depicted as the pristine symbol for peace and justice that we've come to expect. The French officers are relentless in pushing their troops forward into death, and while there's debate as to whether that was actually the case (members of the British army dubbed it 'Lions led by Donkeys'), here it ends with the mutinies that did happen within the French troops, a subject on which I'll say no more.
The common theme... is that the characters – the people - are always at the forefront of the narrative.Valiant Hearts doesn't save the senseless cruelty for soldiers either. In cities and towns you see the effect war has on innocent civilians as they get gassed or bombed as you pass through, a mere inconvenience in both sides' quest for victory. You'll see the injured left for dead on the streets, people trapped in burning buildings, families separated and distressed. Cartoony or not, it injects a necessary urgency, and while you need to intervene and save the day to progress in most cases, it's still downright harrowing. Valiant Hearts' distinctive art style serves only to make the violence seem all the more cutting in this respect.
The common theme, as you progress through the enjoyable mix of logic and timing-based conundrums, is that the characters – the people - are always at the forefront of the narrative. Not just the interactions between each other, but also for each other. This, combined with how well the major players endeared themselves, meant that whether it was warmth, shock, tension or, ultimately, the lingering sadness it left me with, at every turn I felt something.Valiant Hearts may not be ultra-realistic. It might not have the doughy-eyed, high-poly character models that some developers will tell you are the key to crafting emotion, nor does it feature the detailed violence usually attributed to its setting. None of that matters. It had more impact on me than most war-themed games simply because it kept giving me a reason to care. That can only come from the writing.
With so many interesting war stories begging to be told, tales of triumph, sacrifice, joy, and plenty of woe to boot, after a game like Valiant Hearts you have to wonder why more developers aren't looking to exploit our emotions in this way. With video games' inherent interactivity and their ability to put you in any situation imaginable, you'd think they'd be the perfect platform for it.
As Emile states in Valiant Heart's closing moments 'War makes men [people] mad', why we don't we see that more often?
What is the most emotionally resonant war game you've played? And what kinds of games exploring the themes of moral ambiguity and the human impact of war would you like to see?

A dividing wall was removed and converted to a gourmet kitchen island with extra seating and storage. Antique white corbels and vintage wedding cake fixtures add a touch of elegance while a fun mosaic tile backsplash lends youthful charm to the bright space.

Growing inequality and a falling sense of economic opportunity has emerged as perhaps the central challenge of our time. The American Dream, a bedrock of America's uniqueness is under threat.
Why is this? The U.S. economy has registered disturbing performance since well before the Great Recession.
Since 2011, the U.S. Competitiveness Project at Harvard Business School, co-chaired by Michael E. Porter and Jan W. Rivkin, has studied the root causes and conducted annual surveys of business leaders (HBS alumni) and periodic surveys of the general public. The most recent survey on the strengths and weaknesses is shown in Figure 2 in Part I. As we have noted, both HBS alumni and the general public identified our political system as a major weakness and deteriorating.
Based on the survey findings in 2011 and discussions with business leaders and policymakers, the Project created an "eight-point plan" for Washington that identified the eight most critical policy areas to restore U.S. competitiveness and economic growth (see Figure 1).1 These were policies in key areas of weakness, where the federal government led policy (unlike, for example, public education where policy is set by the states). The areas identified were also chosen because there was wide consensus among experts on what needed to be done.*
The latest survey (2016) found overwhelming, bipartisan consensus among HBS alumni on seven of the eight points, and majority support for the eighth (see Figure 2).2 Despite a highly partisan and often misleading political dialog around these areas (we discuss how this occurs in Part IV), the general public supported four of the eight areas, and support was close to 50% on two others.
Despite wide consensus, however, the stunning reality is that Washington has made zero meaningful progress on any of the eight areas in decades. Project leaders made multiple trips to Washington to meet with senators and members of Congress to discuss the eight-point plan. Legislators from both parties all agreed that the steps were necessary, but cautioned that making progress would be challenging.
The lack of progress on these eight policy areas reflects a political system incapable of addressing America's essential economic challenge. This is why business leaders and the general public, in our most recent (2016) survey, identified the U.S. political system as among the nation's greatest weaknesses.* By a huge margin, business leaders believed that the political system was obstructing U.S. growth and competitiveness versus supporting it.
This extreme degree of gridlock is not inevitable in politics, but the result of an American political system misaligned with the public interest.
*Healthcare policy was not included in the eight-point plan because in 2012, as in 2017, there was no clear consensus on what needed to be done.
