Explore Washington's State Waterfall with a towering 198 foot drop. The falls are a short walk from the parking area.
Back in early 2014, a group of fifth-graders from nearby Washtucna, Washington were able to convince the governor to name Palouse Falls the official State Waterfall.
These miniature John Muirs were on to something.
Palouse Falls is every bit as accessible as it is spectacular. From the parking lot, walk about 50 feet to an overlook with interpretive signs and sturdy fences to guard you from the massive cliffs.
For a great photo op, hike a couple hundred yards on social trails cut into the grass for awesome views of the falls and valley extending to the South. There are NO FENCES here. Be very careful and don't go too close to the edge of the cliffs.
The five minute walk to Upper Palouse Falls, which really looks more like rapids, is worth the effort after driving all the way out here.
This is a great spot for a family trip. There are bathrooms right at the parking lot, in addition to picnic tables and a shelter. There are even 11 campsites for those who can handle the coyotes howling all night long. The sites are first come first served. You can get more information by calling the state park (509) 646-9218.
It's a long drive from the Puget Sound area, but well worth a weekend trip to admire the falls and take in the unique landscape in this part of the state.

Fun with the kids
We had fun exploring the area with the kids. The campground was pretty much full but we were able to snag a spot. Great spot for car camping with the family.

In trading card games, players build decks with a win condition in mind. A win condition is a game state that a player reaches in a game where he or she is deemed a winner by the rules. In this article, win conditions will refer to the typical and modern forms of such conditions, mainly through dealing lethal combat damage of causing the opponent to deck out. Since inception of trading card games, the deck building strategies of players can be divided among three archetypes, which are defined either on the speed at which a win condition is met or how interactions between cards achieve a win condition. These archetypes are:
- Aggro. This archetypal strategy focuses on winning fast win in early game by methods that are too quick for an opponent to respond or defend against. Examples of decks that fit into this archetype are weenie* decks or burn** decks.
- Control. While aggro strategies focus on the early game, this archetype focuses on the slow buildup of resources for the sake of winning in the late game. Examples of this strategy are decks with high-cost creatures.
- Combo. When other strategies focus on the speed at which a win condition is met, this strategy uses strong synergy between cards as a win condition. Decks under this archetype mainly rely on the effect interactions between certain cards in the deck to win the game on their own.
According to many players, aggro, combo, and control are the most common strategical archetypes for deck building in trading card games to date. Other decks may appear at your local card shop, but most of them will fall into one or more these three categories. Some examples of uncommon strategies that are not covered by the main three include:
- Midrange. Defined by its flexibility, decks that fall into this strategic archetype have the ability to speed up or slow down against opponents when the need arises.
- Mill. While many strategies focus on dealing the required combat damage to win the game, this strategic archetype solely focuses on forcing the opponent to discard cards off of the top of his or her deck until the player cannot draw any more cards out of deck.
Thanks for your continued support! If you have any questions or comments, please place them in the comments section.
*Weenie decks focus their efforts on generating many small creatures for a low cost and/or early in the game.
**Burn decks mainly focus on dealing a large amount of damage to the opponent through the use of card effects alone.</sup>

I bought this unit, and it really handy. I seen s few people posted here they cannot read codes from certain engines or manufacturers. You need to make sure you are using the correct protocol. J1939 will not work with many manufacturers, Play with the unit and protocols, and I bet the unit will work fine. I gave it 4 stars because I can only graph one data stream at a time and not 4 like the say.
The unit has read all of my Cummins and Cat engines with no problems. It has also read my Merritor Wabco and Bendix anti lock brake codes and data streams. I have a Eaton auto-shift transmission in one of our trucks. I switched the protocol, and was able to read and clear codes, along with the data stream for the input and output shaft speed sensors. Pretty handy for the price.
Will not read Volvo cab, body or climate codes. But for the price, not too bad.

Alfred Vogel's guide to leading a healthy and happy life
Nature is just about the best thing we've got!Watch the video
The name Drosera comes from the Greek words drósos and droseros meaning "dew" and "covered in dew" respectively. These words refer to the dewy excretion from glandular hairs on the edges of the leaves. In old herbals the plant is known as Rosa solis, meaning "dew of the sun", hence Sundew. The Latin word, rotundifolia means "round-leafed".
In the Nordic saga, the Edda, these dewdrops are understood to be the tears shed by the goddess Freya, who was unable to endure the separation from her spouse, Odin. The plant's unique dewdrops, which do not evaporate in sunshine, are indeed a strange phenomenon which have long preoccupied humankind's imagination. In the thirteenth century, alchemists attempted to manufacture gold from this secretion or an elixir for longevity entitled "Ad longam vitam suam". They did not, however, succeed. The plant does not appear to have been known to those practising medicine in ancient Rome; it was, however used during the Middle Ages as a remedy for coughs, lung infections, whooping cough, consumption (tuberculosis), epilepsy, as well as kidney and bladder conditions.
In Sweden, a species of Drosera is used in combination with proteolytic enzymes to produce something known as "thick" or "long milk". The result is a refreshing, slightly sour-tasting, thick drink which stays fresh for long time.
This insectivorous plant comprises one main root and auxiliary roots. The plant has striking, orbicular, hollow leaves on long stalks, depressed, laying flat on the ground. On the edge of the leaves and on the upper surface are numerous purple-coloured glandular hairs which each have a small shiny round gland at the top. These glands secret a thick, sticky fluid in order to attract and trap tiny insects. The glandular hairs gradually grow inwards towards their prey until the insect's body is engulfed by the glandular heads which secrete a pepsin–like digestive fluid. The by-products from proteolysis are absorbed by the glandular hairs, leaving the insect's chitinous shell behind on the leaf. Animal protein is necessary for carnivorous plants, since they usually grow in soil lacking in nutrients. If necessary, these plants are also capable of drawing nutrition from water, carbon dioxide and sunlight just like other normal plants; however, if forced to do this they will be weaker than otherwise.
Erect, thin flower-stems grow to a height of about 10 to 20 cm from the centre of the leaf rosette, these bear a one-sided, coiled, simple raceme prior to producing small, greenish-white flowers. The plant reproduces largely asexually from leaf buds.
The plant blooms from July to August.
This fascinating little plant can be found growing in acidic moors, peat-rich soils and swamps in Arctic but also in mild zones of Europe, Asia and North America, occurring both in plains as well as at heights of up to 1.800 metres above sea-level. The steady decline of swampy areas in central Europe has had a highly adverse affect on the proliferation of Sundew and the plant is now a protected species. For this reason, the D. ramentaceae plant, which is indigenous to Madagascar, is used instead in pharmaceutical production. The plant is cultivated in special crops specifically intended for pharmaceutical manufacture.
A.Vogel/Bioforce uses fresh Sundew harvested in Finland, where the plant is in abundance and is therefore not a protected species. The plant is collected while in bloom and then sent immediately via air freight to Switzerland, where it is combined with alcohol to produce a tincture. A.Vogel/Bioforce conducted a study in Finland which revealed that, on account of extensive areas of swamplands in this country,
D. rotundi¬folia was not an endangered plant and that the current harvesting of the plant in the wild was sustainable.

Costa Rica's newly elected president, Oscar Arias Sanchez, a foe of the Nicaraguan Contras, is outraged to learn of the deal made by his predecessor for a Contra airstrip in the northern portion of his country (see Summer 1985). He stops its use for Contra resupply. On September 6, 1986, CIA agent Felix Rodriguez, the liaison for National Security Council officer Oliver North in the region (see Mid-September 1985), informs North and CIA official Alan Fiers that Arias intends to hold a press conference denouncing the airstrip, revealing its construction by North's partner, retired General Richard Secord, and announcing that its existence is a violation of Costa Rican law. North discusses the impending conference with Fiers, Assistant Secretary of State Elliott Abrams, and the US Ambassador to Costa Rica, Lewis Tambs. They mull over informing Arias that he will never be allowed in the White House, and will never get any of the $80 million promised to Costa Rica by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) if the airstrip is revealed. Tambs passes along these threats, and the press conference is initially canceled. Fiers later testifies (see July 17, 1991) that he, North, and Abrams are worried that the public revelation of the airstrip will expose the connections between the Contras, North, and the White House. (Final Report of the Independent Counsel for Iran/Contra Matters: Chapter 25: United States v. Elliott Abrams: November 1986 8/4/1993) In late September, Costa Rica will publicly reveal the existence of the airstrip (see September 25, 1986).
FBI agents arrest Egyptian national Abdallah Higazy in a New York hotel room, and interrogate him over his supposed ownership of an air-band transceiver capable of air-to-air and air-to-ground communications. The FBI suspects Higazy, a student at Brooklyn's Polytechnic University, of facilitating the 9/11 hijackings. Higazy arrived in New York from Cairo to study engineering under US Agency for International Development (USAID) and Institute for International Education programs, in August 2001. The Institute arranged for Higazy to stay at the Millennium Hilton Hotel, just across the street from the World Trade Center. On September 11, Higazy, along with other hotel residents, was evacuated after the second plane hit the Twin Towers. He was carrying about $100 in cash and his wallet. Higazy does not return to the hotel until December 17, when three FBI agents are waiting for him. Hotel employees had found a transceiver capable of air-to-air and air-to-ground transmissions in his room safe, along with a Koran and his passport. The FBI believes that Higazy may have used the radio as a beacon to guide the hijackers. Higazy denies owning any such transceiver. A federal judge warns the FBI and federal prosecutors that merely finding a radio in a room safe occupied by Higazy does not constitute enough evidence to continue holding the suspect, and absent further evidence he will release Higazy on December 28. Instead, the FBI will browbeat a false confession from Higazy (see December 27, 2001). (Eggen 10/25/2007)
James Haveman, a 60-year old social worker and the director of a faith-based international relief organization, is recommended by the former Republican governor of Michigan, John Engler, to run Iraq's health care system. Haveman earned Engler's approval by running a large Christian adoption agency in Michigan that pushed pregnant women not to have abortions. Engler recommends Haveman to Paul Wolfowitz, the deputy secretary of defense; Haveman is soon dispatched to Baghdad to oversee the rebuilding of Iraq's health-care system.
Replacing the Expert with the 'Loyalist' - Wolfowitz orders the immediate firing of Dr. Frederick Burkle, who worked the issue during the invasion. Unlike Haveman, Burkle has extensive experience in such areas: he has multiple degrees in public health, taught disaster-response issues at Johns Hopkins University, and is currently a deputy assistant administrator for the US Agency for International Development (USAID), who sent him to Baghdad in the days after the invasion. Burkle has extensive experience working in postwar climates such as Kosovo, Somalia, and Iraq after the 1991 Persian Gulf War. A USAID colleague will call him the "single most talented and experienced post-conflict health specialist working for the United States government." However, Burkle lacks the Republican political connections. A USAID official tells Burkle that the White House wants a "loyalist" in the job, and Haveman fits the bill.
Anti-Smoking Campaigns, Fee-Based Care - Haveman's tenure is marked by voluble recitations of how well the reconstruction is going: he tells anyone who will listen about how many Iraqi hospitals have reopened and about the pay raises Iraqi doctors have received. He refuses to discuss how decrepit most Iraqi hospitals still are, or the fact that many of Iraq's best doctors are fleeing the country. Haveman mounts an aggressive anti-smoking campaign (and appoints a closet smoker to head it), ignoring comments that Iraqis have far bigger dangers in their lives than tobacco and recommendations that CPA funds might better be spent trying to combat fatal maladies running rampant through Iraqi populations. Haveman, a conservative ideologue, is offended by the idea that health care in Iraq is free. He institutes a fee-based health care system instead. Most importantly, he allocates almost all of the Health Ministry's share of US reconstruction funds—some $793 million—to renovating Iraqi maternity hospitals and building community medical clinics. He later explains that his goal is "to shift the mind-set of the Iraqis that you don't get health care unless you go to a hospital." Unfortunately, his decision means that no funds are available to reconstruct emergency rooms and operating theaters in Iraqi hospitals, which are being overrun with injuries from insurgent attacks.
Privatizing the Drug Supply Distribution Process - Haveman opposes the idea of state-based drug and medical supply distribution on ideological grounds. Instead, he decides to privatize the dysfunctional government firm that imports and distributes drugs and medical supplies to Iraqi hospitals. When he served as Michigan's director of community health, he dramatically cut the amount of money Michigan spent on prescription drugs for poor citizens by limiting the medications doctors could prescribe to Medicaid patients. He instituted a short list of cheaper drugs that poor patients were limited to using. Haveman decides that the same approach will work in Iraq. Currently, Iraq has around 4,500 drugs on its formulary, and Haveman decides the list is much too long. Any private firm who wants to bid on the job of supplying drugs and medical supplies will not want to deal with such a long list. Haveman also wants to restrict the firm to buying American-made drugs and supplies—no more medicines from Iran, Syria, or Russia. The Pentagon sends Haveman three formulary experts to help him implement his plan, including Lieutenant Commander Theodore Briski, a Navy pharmacist. Haveman's order, as Briski later recalls, is "Build us a formulary in two weeks and then go home." Two days into his position, Briski decides that Haveman's plan is untenable. The existing formulary works well enough, he believes. Haveman wants to redesign "the entire Iraqi pharmaceutical procurement and delivery system, and that was a complete change of scope—on a grand scale." Most importantly, Briski recalls, Haveman and his advisers "really didn't know what they were doing." Others agree, including many on Haveman's team. Rewriting the formulary is a major distraction, they argue, as is privatizing the pharmaceutical distribution process. Haveman ignores the immediate needs of the populace for his grandiose, ill-considered plans.
No Progress - When Haveman leaves Iraq, the hospitals are as decrepit and dysfunctional as they were when he arrived. Baghdad's largest medical facility, Yarmouk Hospital, lacks basic equipment to monitor blood pressure and heart rate. Operating rooms lack essential surgical tools and sterilizers. Pharmacy shelves are bare. The Health Ministry estimates that of the 900 drugs it deems essential, hospitals lack 40 percent of them. Of the 32 medicines used in combating chronic diseases, 26 are unavailable. Health Minister Aladin Alwan asks the United Nations for help, asks neighboring nations for emergency donations, and throws out Haveman's idea for a new formulary. "We didn't need a new formulary," he later says. "We needed drugs. But the Americans did not understand that." (Chandrasekaran 9/17/2006)

Consider the following statistics describing today's undergraduates:
- 60-80% of college students have had some sort of hookup experience.
- 63% of college-age men and 83% of college-age women would prefer a traditional relationship to an uncommitted sexual one.
No doubt about it, college is the place to be if one is interested in engaging in sex.
Yet, an associate professor in psychology at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, Richard McAnulty, notes: "The vast majority of young adults hope to be in a romantic relationship characterized by mutual love and commitment."
If the latter statistics and McAnulty's research are accurate, then would it not seem sensible for that every administrator at every one of the nation's Catholic universities and colleges to work assiduously to provide undergraduates a culture wherein they can fulfill their hope?
Yes, it is sensible. But, try convincing those administrators of their moral obligation to reverse the hook up culture. "How?" they ask. When told "Provide students a culture that not only raises their hopes but also assists them to translate those hopes into actual behavior," they oftentimes opine something learned…about hopelessness…like Sisyphus.
Forget those administrators. They're more interested in producing slick advertising campaigns and travelling all over Timbuktu to raise hundreds of millions of dollars for their institutions than they are about their primary moral obligations to form their students in wisdom and grace before God and man.
But, according to the Boston Globe, hope is alive…at Boston College.
There, the associate director of the Lonergan Institute, Kerry Cronin, is showing those feckless administrators how to build that culture. How? She's teaching her students the lost art of dating…that is, how to date. The idea came to Cronin years back when she was delivering a lecture about the hookup culture. A student asked, "How would you ask someone on a date?…Like the actual words."
Cronin believes most of today's undergraduates don't know how to date or, even, how to ask for a date. Why? This generation has grown up with relatively low expectations in the realm of "happily every after." She notes:
- In their world, most embrace group activities that are punctuated with the periodic hookup.
- They communicate in digital bursts of 140-250 characters instead of in person.
Cronin's pedagogical remedy? A class assignment that helps students reclaim the "lost social script" of dating. Not knowing where to begin or what to say, the assignment defines the boundaries so that students know exactly what to expect:
- The date has to be 45 to 90 minutes in length with a person of legitimate romantic interest.
- The student has to pay and has to make the invitation not by text or e-mail but in person.
- The date cannot involve alcohol, kissing, or sex.
Cronin tells her students that dating requires the courage to be vulnerable to another person. As a freshman, Frank DiMartino said about the assignment:
It's easy to hook up with someone you've just met in a dark room after having a few drinks. But asking someone out on a date in broad daylight, and when you actually have to know their name, can be really scary.
Cronin's assignment directly confronts the culture that emphasizes uncommitted sex when it's committed love that their hearts desire. She says:
- Students use friendships and groups to satisfy social and emotional needs and see hookups as purely physical. As a result, students don't have a relationship that allows them to address the confusions or expectations that can arise out of hookups.
- Relying on groups prevents students from learning to interact one-on-one. Getting to know another person through a group dynamic is very different from getting to know another person in an interpersonal dynamic.
- Social media, especially texting, is another way one-on-one conversations are mediated. It provides access to a constructed "virtual self." Students may feel connected but it builds habits of "ADD-quality connections" rather than face-to-face relationships.
Cronin's alternative builds on her students' hope yet challenges them to risk failure. She said:
When you ask somebody, you risk failing, and nobody likes to fail or be vulnerable to rejection….[Undergraduates] like to push themselves out of their comfort zone only if the energy and effort will equal success. But when asking someone out, nothing can ensure the person is going to say yes.
Cronin believes the hookup culture "creates a part of life that is unnecessarily chaotic and lonely."
Yes, indeed. Leading undergraduates from the darkness of sin into the light of faith, hope, and love. Cronin might not think of her assignment in this way, but she's evangelizing young people about the Gospel of Life!
Kudos to Kerry Cronin! She's treading in and casting her net into the deep waters that most Catholic university and college administrators fear will engulf, sink, and drown them and their careers.

Welcome to the Sunday Morning Poetry Throwdown. I'm just going to keep on doing these so you might as well participate. There's no escape for you.
Preamble: I had to do some research on vintage C&W music this week for a birthday present. Before I settled on Dim Lights, Thick Smoke & Hillbilly Music: Country & Western Hit Parade 1962, I watched a lot of 50s-60s era C&W/Hillbilly stars performing on YouTube. I've been cracked up by the comment oneupsmanship on that site before when looking at R&R videos. Apparently, ignorance know no genre.
One of my favorite features in the comments is the "that's my grandfather" claims. The C&W crowd is the best. Sometimes a dozen people claim that kinship on a single video clip. I've wished that I was a trained epidemiologist before but today I would like to be an epidemiologist to trace the path of Hank Snow's tour bus in 1958 and compare the geography to today's YouTube grandchildren. Because I get his appeal. The more I look at the following video, the more I think I might go for him and his skinny litte behind. Here he is doing I've Been Everywhere. It took me all of 2 views to completely forget about Johnny Cash and declare that Hank Snow did it better.
And so in homage to Hank Snow, for today only the today throwdown will be The Sunday Morning Song Lyrics Throwdown. Here's my offering:
I was totin' my butt along the law firm hallway hangs,
When along came a cool guy with his own choom gangs.
"If you want to be a beard, Meesh, with me you can ride."
And so I climbed on board and I settled in as his fashion-forward bride.
He asked me if I wanted to visit some resorts and all the nations
And I said Sure! but only if you can swing some free vacations.
I've been everywhere, man.
I've been everywhere, man.
Showed my armpits bare, man.
Clipped on extra hair, man.
Expenses? I don't care, man.
I've been everywhere.
I've been to:
Maine, Chicago, Aspen Colorado,
Kailua, Grand Canyon, Yellowstone,
Panama City Beach, Botswana, Africa,
London, Vatican, Martha's Vineyard, Shake Shack,
Oak Bluffs, Hyde Park, Camp David, Broadway,
Paris, New York City , Barcelona, Arizona.
I've been everywhere, man.
I've been everywhere, man.
Packed a lot to wear, man.
Brought Mother to au pair, man.
So what if it's "not fair", man?
I've been everywhere.

Getting Started with Public Relations aka PR
What is PR?
PR or Public Relations is all about reputation, what you say or do and in turn what other people say about you.
In terms of a marketing activity for your company PR takes care of your reputation. Work is undertaken to build and maintain a good reputation for your company.
Imagine you are a greetings card designer launching your first range of greetings cards into the market. To make sales you know you need to get noticed and build a solid reputation.
You decide you want to be known for high quality, design-led greeting cards that are kind to the environment.
You put together a PR campaign and you successfully get your new greetings cards featured in:
- An industry website for design-led products
- A glossy consumer magazine's article about the rise of Eco-friendly goods.
- An Eco-friendly shopping guide
With these 3 features you are establishing your company's reputation, which will help you make sales. People reading the articles will associate your company with praise from third-party publications.
On the other hand, if your greetings cards were the subject of a review that said they were poor quality, poorly designed or damaging to the environment your reputation would suffer. Anyone viewing that article might decide not to buy from you.
Both of these situations can benefit from a little help with PR.
To feature in magazines, newspapers and blogs you need to have a PR outreach strategy that gets you in front of journalists and bloggers. At the same time you may also need PR to run "damage control" if your company gets negative press.
Why is PR Important?
Going back to what we started with, PR is about reputation.
People by from brands they like and trust. In today's world easy access to internet-ready computers, tablets and mobile phones mean any buyer can assess your reputation in a matter of seconds.
If they find a good reputation for high quality products, good customer service and fast delivery they sees signals that they can trust you.
If a buyer finds bad reviews that rubbish your products, moan about your customer service or complain about deliveries they will back away from you in a heartbeat.
A good reputation quite simply leads to more potential for customers and sales.
PR Activities
When it comes to planning out your PR activities I'm going to hope that 99% of what you will do will be to generate good publicity.
There may be times when you have to also deal with bad stuff. If there is a genuine crisis, someone being hurt by one of your products for example, you need to stay calm, establish the facts and then prepare a response. But these genuine huge events are rare, hopefully non-existent for most companies.
As the majority of card & gift companies are small businesses, that small percentage of the time when you come across something negative it's most likely to be a disgruntled customer who posts something bad about you in an online forum or on your social media page.
When this happens you need to stay calm, try not to take it personally and once again establish the facts and respond. This may be wherever the negative comment originated, or you may prefer to take the conversation to a more private space, such as email or direct messages. Your response will be dictated by the situation.
Again, hopefully this will be an incredibly rare situation.
The majority of the time you will be attempting to generate good press, and your activities will include:
- Writing and distributing press releases
- Creating a story pitch for a journalist or publication
- Responding to journalists enquiries
Press Releases
A press release is an official statement issued to the media giving information on a particular topic. For card and gift companies this will usually be the launch of a new product or service. It might also include changes in the company; a new policy, a new hire etc.
Another way to get featured in the press is to pitch journalists with a story idea. Rather than focusing on your products this will focus on something newsworthy about you or your business.
Many magazines, newspapers and blogs write articles about entrepreneurship, careers and lifestyle subjects; while these may not directly talk about your products, they will give a wider view of your business and start getting your name out there.
Pitches to journalists and publications give you the opportunity to establish your expertise and the values of your business.
You should be aware that pitches can go two ways: either the journalists writes the story and you help, or you write the story. The latter will happen more if you're talking to a publication that sources articles from freelancers. Be aware of what your pitching and be prepared for writing an article, if that's what's needed.
Journalists Enquiries
Alternatively you may also set aside some PR time to look for opportunities to help a journalist. Many journalists and bloggers use social media to find sources and quotes for articles they are developing.
In responding to journalists enquiries you can play a part in an existing piece and get yourself a little free publicity.
What Does PR Need?
So we've considered three basic activities for generating good press: press releases, pitches and responding to enquiries. But what do you need in place to carry out these tasks?
Well there's no hard or fast rules but here are a few things that might help:
A Blog
The joy go blogs for PR comes down to 2 things. First a blog can establish your expertise. secondly a blog showcases your writing skills. If you're pitching a story idea, or wanting to provide a quote for an article, pointing a journalists to your blog, gives them an easy way to assess your reputation and who you are.
Social Media
Like your blog you social media profiles can also help journalists judge who you are. If you've got an active social media following and you're putting out good content, this will encourage people to work with you. If you're Twitter profile is an egg or your content looks spammy, the media won't want to talk about you.
Being Easily to Contact
PR also requires you to be easy to contact. Journalists and bloggers often have a quick turnaround on researching and writing articles. Print journalists will often have fixed deadlines that they can't miss. This means that you need to be at the other end of a phone if and when you're needed. If a journalists only has an email contact for you and you only reply to your emails once a week, your likely to be passed over for someone who says "here's my mobile number, call me anytime".
PR and the Card and Gift Industry
I'm still trying to work out a good way to measure how effectively the greetings card and giftware industry uses PR.
I recently reviewed how over 600 companies utilised the free PR services at an industry trade show. My research showed that just 9% of the companies exhibiting had used the show's PR services.
Combined with this I have close to 8 years experience receiving press releases. I'd estimate 90% of what I receive are irrelevant or aren't good enough to be turned into a feature.
Together these two tiny bits of info would suggest that our industry struggles with PR. I have however seen examples where this definitely isn't the case.
I've seen an up-and-coming greetings card designer featured on the front page of a national newspaper's business supplement.
I've also seen an established greetings card company owner speak at numerous trade shows and business events.
My current feeling is that the majority of card and gift companies do find PR difficult. In future research I hope to find out why, but I think a lack of knowledge may be one cause. I will therefore be sharing a few PR lessons in upcoming articles and training.

Three Indian-American doctors,who were derogatorily called "the Indians" and treated as "second-class citizens" by the CEO of a medical center in the US,have won a racial discrimination case in a Texas court.
The US Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals found that Citizens Medical Center in Victoria had violated the equal protection rights of the doctors.
The court ruled in favour of Ajay Gaalla,Harish Chandna and Dakshesh Parikh,the Victoria Advocate reported.
In February 2010,the medical center filed a resolution that would allow only cardiologists with contracts at the hospital to exercise clinical privileges in the cardiology department or part of the hospital's heart programme.
The cardiologists fought back with a lawsuit stating they were being barred from practicing not based on their merit and expertise,but because of economical and racial reasons.
This not only affected them,but their patients who were denied the right to see the physician of their choice,according to the court documents.
The hospital claimed the resolution was based on the doctors' disruptive behavior and issues with Dr Yusuke Yahagi,a cardiovascular surgeon at the hospital.
Court documents also showed that the three cardiologists were derogatorily referred to as "the Indians."
The cardiologists also cited a comment from David Brown,the hospital chief executive officer,as saying the hospital was working on a plan for "getting the Indians off the reservation."
The cardiologists said the resolution hospital placed violated their equal protection rights — and now the Fifth Circuit has voted in their favor.
Brown would not comment until he could become familiar with the details,a hospital spokesperson said.
The three doctors said they were consistently treated like second-class citizens,removed from committees and pushed out of laboratory posts arbitrarily,or overlooked in favor of "less-qualified" cardiologists CMC hired.
For now,the case is in stay,or on hold,according to Monte James,the lead attorney for the cardiologists.
He expects the federal court will take it off hold,and it will proceed to trial.

Tune in Tuesday
Feelin' Alright is one of my favorite songs, ever, hands down. I play it when I'm happy, when I want to happy, when I want to get down or get up. Bottom line: a dance party always ensues. Bonus when I rock it out at my parents house on their Joe Cocker vinyl album - my Dad ALWAYS dances with me. LOVE IT. So needless to say, we had a serious dance session to this in the kitchen on Easter Sunday, while Mom just kept on cooking. If you need a dance partner for this just let me know, I'll be happy to oblige. As for my father-daughter dance, forget that sappy stuff, Dad and I are cutting a rug to this track.

Recently I finished my watercolor project called Aerial Encounters and finally published the first volume a day ago; just in case you missed it. Today I brought 3 new passengers with interesting and unique stories. I'm really not just looking for reactions, but also connections that the audience may experience while reading my perspective with each story.
Does the project is going to keep growing? Of course, let's see how well it takes its course. My main goal is to have diversity as well as exploring different themes and methods, I'm not fond of staying in just one place. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy your stay here and learn new things. So, let's begin:
In a busy shift in the evening, people were buying last-minute stuff before boarding to New York. People kept coming in and out of the store non-stop. My last customer was paying a small grape juice when he heard someone behind him: "Daddy…I'm cold". He turned around and grabbed his baby girl before leaving."Trying to buy some juice before the lift-off" – he chuckled. I smiled back and replied that I do the same but with water. I try as much as possible to be completely full of water since eating the lunch 2 hours after initiating the shifts was ridiculous nonsense. Somehow our conversation started with diets and exercises to the story of his past as a kid and breakthrough as a grown-up father.
At the age of 8, he lost both brothers each year. The first one got killed on an ambush by drug dealers and the other on a car accident, both were underage. Consequently, his mother became overly protective of him while his father's absences shined since the beginning. Eventually, he stumbled upon negative people who would misguide him, drugs and even robbery was part of his life.
"Everything was happening so fast, my energy was draining and I kept asking myself if this is the life that what I really wanted".
Things changed for him when his daughter was born. "She taught me so much in such little time. I love her and wouldn't let anything happen to her." Ever since she came to his life, his father appeared and asked him if he could be part of his granddaughter's life. He and his daughter were on vacation on P.R and went to visit some families, that's where she met her grandfather. With such a request, he told his father that there was one condition in order to be able to see his granddaughter, to remain as a family and take care of each other.
Sun was rising, I'm still sleepy yet annoyed for been relocated to another far away store. It's like how we say it in here "…por la puñeta". I'm trying to fight off my sleepiness while costumers come in. People are sitting nearby since the departure is within 2 hours. The next person in the lane was this lady with a cocky red smile, vibrant attitude, groomed with a unique scent and fashionable clothing. Very pretty indeed. " I'm gonna pay it with my husband's credit card…"
"You know darling when men are truly in love with their woman, they give their everything, even their money. At the end of the day that is my husband's job"
I frowned subtly, I didn't like what she said and had a bad impression of her. I believe she was buying a pink scarf (guess for another collection in the wardrobe), but it wasn't scanning right. So I told her to give me a minute to resolve the issue, I took another scarf and went back to my counter. She was observing every move, even my resting-bitch-face. "You know, you seem to be a very firm, a strict woman…" she said randomly. I stopped and looked at her, silently. I wasn't sure how to respond to that, was it a compliment?
She continued "I love it every time I see women like you, it gives me pride". "Well, I don't know what you saw in me but…", I started to tell her my story. Not much said but she told me she was a businesswoman who tends to travel to countries, she has worked since 15 and her decision of not having kids is still on the contract. Fell in love with a man and that's about it. She had to leave earlier since more customers were multiplying the store. My perception of her changed a bit but what makes these stories authentic?
There are moments in our life where opportunities are most of the time spontaneous, and one must not hesitate on taking the step. Unfortunately for me, it became a shooting star. Same old routine, people in the terminal, some come and others go and then this gentleman appeared. He was looking for an outlet to charge his phone. His destination was back home, in New York. I gave him a few directions of the hidden outlets, later on, he was looking at my cables and headphone section. "This was a quite long journey. I came from Saint Thomas, my home, to visit the family and now I'm going back to my other home."
He asked how I was dealing after the chaotic phenomenon of Maria, and how incredible and disgraceful was the management of the government with the whole situation. His homeland was facing the same fate, but worse. "Kids these days don't know what they want. They are so submerged with the technology that they seem to be fading from reality".
"They will go to my classroom all excited screaming what are they going to learn today, and let me tell you something, I educate them so they can educate their parents. It all begins in the nuclear family."
His words reminded me so much of Yazan Hiyazi, one of the last and best professors I had for Sustainable Innovation. I was so intrigued by listening to this man and suddenly BAM! People started to storm my shop, eventually making the guy scram away. It was so unfortunate, I bet he had great tales to tell…

Extreme (and not so extreme) swings in the weather occur all the time. We often experience warm days in the winter and cold days in the summer. So I guess we shouldn't be all that surprised when Mother Nature decides to launch her first tropical storm thirteen days in advance of the scheduled start of hurricane season (June 1).
Yesterday gave up the first tropical system for the Atlantic season with the formation of Tropical Storm Alberto off the South Carolina Coast.
As of this afternoon, according to the National Hurricane Center, the center of the storm is located 90 miles southeast of Charleston, South Carolina and is moving toward the west-southwest at near 6 mph. Alberto is expected to slow down and move little through Monday, and after that it is expected to make a northeastward acceleration Monday night and Tuesday. On this track, the center of Alberto is forecast to remain offshore of the Carolina and Georgia coasts.
This early storm formation should encourage coastal residents in Georgia and the Carolinas to monitor weather conditions and take steps now to get prepared for potential severe weather. Tropical waves or tropical storms can bring heavy rains and high winds, so it's important that you take steps to prepare your property and family.
In fact, all those who live in hurricane prone areas should heed this early storm as a sign to be prepared for the season. Visit Ready.gov/hurricanes (Listo.gov para español) to learn how to prepare your home and family for a hurricane or tropical storm.
Tropical Storm and Hurricane Preparedness and Safety Tips:
- Now is the time to be prepared if you live in a coastal area or could be affected by severe weather. Build your own emergency supply kit—personalized with the non-perishable foods you like, your medications, personal documents.
- Visit Ready.gov or Listo.gov for tips on creating your family emergency plan and putting together an emergency supply kit.
- Monitor local radio and television news outlets or listen to NOAA Weather Radio for the latest developments. Your local National Weather Service forecast office is the best place to find information about the weather that may affect your area, so check your local forecast at Weather.gov or on your phone at mobile.weather.gov.
As we continue to closely monitor Tropical Storm Alberto, everyone should get familiar with the terms that are used to identify a severe weather hazard and discuss with your family what to do if a tropical storm watch or warning is issued. Terms used to describe severe tropical weather include the following:
- A tropical storm watch means that tropical storm conditions are possible, in this case within 24 hours.
- A tropical storm warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected within 36 hours.
- A Hurricane watch means that hurricane conditions are possible within 48 hours.
- A Hurricane warning means that hurricane conditions are expected within 36 hours.
With this early development of the first tropical system, FEMA is taking our part seriously as we monitor developments through our regional office in Atlanta, Ga. We encourage residents to do the same. After all, as she has proven once again, and as the saying goes…"It's not nice to fool with Mother Nature."

Until I listened to this piece, I didn't even know what a bioartist was. Wikipedia describes it as an "art practice where humans work with live tissues, bacteria, living organisms, and life processes". Labs become studios. Discussions of, say, human genetic engineering as art form revolve around the aesthetics the work aims to achieve, more than the ethical or moral dilemmas that might stand in or jump into the way.
In the intro to 'Doing the No No', a fascinating and extremely entertaining episode of Love and Radio, Adam Zaretsky is described plainly as a bioartist "who explores the manipulation of DNA, the fringes of genetic modification, and butts up against the ethical boundaries of science and beyond". (He's also a self-described child of Rocky Horror and Soft Cell which I could immediately relate to.)
If you're new to this topic, you'll likely agree that the next hour and 14 minutes, should you choose to listen, will be unlike any other hour and 14 minutes you've spent this month.
At its core bioart necessarily includes comedic elements so parts of the discussion are clearly in jest –Zaretsky made news five years ago when he apparently attempted to extract DNA from a piece of turd preserved from the colon of William S Burroughs— but he, and producer Britt Wray don't sidestep serious bioethical questions.
Here are just a few outtakes clipped at random from a discussion that bounces all over the place.
On his origins as an artist:
I think I was just supposed to work with art and mud. But along the way I decided to work with life as an art form. And then I spread out into things like ecology, tissue culture, genetic engineering. Weird lab things. All along the way towards exploring new reproductive technologies as art.
I've always been interested in what now falls under 'deviant art'. And I find some of the best versions of that art are being made in labs. They're in Nature magazine. They're not in Art Forum. The scientists are leading contemporary art right now.
On his early aspirations:
I think I wanted to be a banker and a pornographer and a communist. It's hard to mix all those three, but I'm on my way. I'm already a pornographer and a communist so I think I just have to go to business school.
On some of the mutants forming in his mind (for now):
What if we became solar-powered? What if humans could actually photosynthesize? What would be good about that?
Well, you wouldn't have to pay rent because you'd have central heating. You wouldn't have to work because all you'd have to do was sit in a hammock. Um, skin cancer would probably go up. People around the equator would probably become obese. The Nordic races would suddenly become really skinny and have to run down to the equator during the winter at the dark suicidal end of the long night. And, you know, in a neo-colonialist way, they'd probably eat some overweight equatorial solar-powered people. And weirdly we might actually grow to be flat and have webs underneath our arms that collect more sun. That could be a problem but it could be great. Like a giant flat bat-like solar-collecting human beatnik.
Most interesting to me was his description of how transgenics, essentially cutting and pasting genes from one organism into another, has evolved over the past half century. The process of creating transgenic humans, Zaretsky says, is much close to fruition that most people realize.
Transgenesis is taking one gene from one organism, cutting it out and pasting it into another organism. We are reaching a point where we're getting better at the potential for making transgenic humans. Genetically modified humans, humans that are GMOs. Transgenic human embryos are already being made. They're not necessarily being grown full-term but this is something that is possible.
It's been possible to do this since the 1970s. It's not perfected yet, but on the world scene –and there are different laws in different nations– this is one of those standard Pandora things. If you can do it –and it's been fifty years– it's about to be released that people are doing it because they have been doing it.
And it's a point in time when people are taking it seriously to ask, 'What about the rest of the ethics of human gene editing? Who gets to decide? And which way are we going? How are we going to engineer ourselves? And is it us, or is it small professional cliques human designers? Who's in charge of that?
These types of questions are actually starting to be allowed. And one of the reasons they're starting to be allowed is because all of these things are already happening and we need to get the public to a place where they're willing to accept them so that we can ask them if they're willing to accept them and they will say yes. I think we'll get to that place sooner than you think.
I can't vouch for the how accurately he's characterizing the science, but the questions are intriguing.
More on Zaretsky? From a bio for his 2008 residency at UCLA's Art|Sci Center:
While working in an MIT lab, Adam Zaretsky once spent two days playing a recording of the hits of singer Engelbert Humperdinck to a petri dish full of E. coli bacteria. The organisms' antibiotic production increased, and he concluded that humans aren't the only clusters of cells agitated by the continual "loud, awful lounge music." He dubbed it "the Humperdinck effect."

Mac & Cheese at Yardbird
These hipster Southern eateries boast boutique bourbon bars, crispy chicken and waffles and other down home favorites.
While Miami cuisine is best known for international and Latin American specialties, a few notable spots serve up deliciously down-home Southern chow. Luckily for Southern fried aficionados, these eateries offer both style and substance. Southern restaurants in Miami please the palate with up-to-date spins on finger-licking favorites like chicken and waffles, shrimp 'n grits, fried green tomatoes, biscuits, cornbread and a whole lot more.
South Beach swank and country cookin' go hand in hand at Bird & Bone at the Confidante Miami Beach. Indoors, the airy main dining area boasts an elegant marble bar and a showstopper chandelier. Country primitive décor reigns throughout, with plenty of seating for large and small groups. The Confidante is an oceanfront hotel, so dining on a pillow strewn sofa on the restaurant's lovely shaded patio is the perfect way to prepare for your carb coma. Take a selfie by the pool before nibbling on Mason jar appetizer dips and sipping craft cocktails with your friends. Indie music wafts through the air (along with ocean breezes), setting the tone at this Mid Beach bastion of Southern comfort.
Chef Richard Hales' menu's crowd pleasers include his fried Hot Chicken, Blackened Sea Scallops, House Smoked Kingfish Dip and flavor-packed Cheddar and Chive Biscuits. The menu offers some decidedly non-Southern fare, too, including Chilled Lobster Salad, Angus steaks and Grilled Oysters. Sunday Brunch splits its focus between rib-sticking Southern fare, assorted salads and a taco menu. End things on a sweet note with Key Lime Pie or Fried Apple Hand Pies. While you may get a table on a weekday without any trouble, Bird & Bone is a favorite weekend brunch hangout, so be sure to make reservations.
On South Beach, Yardbird Southern Table & Bar rules the roost (pun intended) when it comes to amazing fried chicken. This South Beach hot spot brines its birds for 27 hours, dips them in seasoned flour and fries up every delicious piece 'o poultry to a perfect mahogany brown. The result is a bird that's moist on the inside, crispy and delicious on the outside. You can savor it solo, tucked in a biscuit or atop a waffle with bourbon maple syrup and hot sauce on the side.
Of course, no one heads to a bonafide Southern joint with the word "lowfat" in mind. So please, toss those low carb diets to the wind while you allow yourself to indulge, yes really indulge, in Yardbird's fluffy buttermilk biscuits served with butter and jam, delectable shrimp 'n grits seasoned with country ham or the fried green tomatoes layered with pork belly, pimiento cheese and frisée. Dessert faves include peach cobbler a la mode and Fried Oreos.
Yardbird's decor is rustic chic, with leather banquettes, pendant lighting, wood floors and an open kitchen. A bourbon bar serves cocktails like Blackberry Bourbon Lemonade and the Yardbird Old Fashioned, made with Bacon infused Wild Turkey Bourbon, Angostura Bitters and maple syrup. A well curated selection of wines stand up nicely to the restaurant's robustly flavored fare. Craft beers, too, are available. Yardbird is located in a quieter section of South Beach, but that doesn't mean you won't need reservations. You most certainly will. It's popular and busy, even during weekday lunch. The good news: Yardbird is open seven days a week and brunch is served on both Saturday and Sunday. So plan ahead and wear loose clothing. You won't leave hungry.
Coop offers gourmet grab-and-go Southern fare inside the St. Roch Market, an upscale food hall on the second floor of the Palm Court in Miami's Design District. If you're craving a chicken biscuit while perusing the latest styles at Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Louis Vuitton and other high fashion emporiums, stop by Coop and get your fix. In Miami, gourmet food halls proffering tasty fare from local chefs have become all the rage.
Owned by three Cuban brothers, Coop keeps things simple by delivering tasty fried chicken atop cheddar and chive waffles or between crispy biscuits. There's also Watermelon Salad, Maria's BBQ Pork (a pulled pork sandwich with guava barbecue sauce) and Gorgonzola Mac 'n Cheese. The chef owners serve standard Southern favorites while whipping up new dishes based on customers' requests. Often, these new dishes (like Fried Chicken Tacos) become menu staples. Coop is clearly one of the most popular vendors among the dozen or so located inside St. Roch Market, and well worth a stop.

Payment Voucher Template for B5 Paper (c5086)
c5086 now includes the customized invoice template for the latest version of Invoice Manager for Excel. This is what you will see when you open
Payment Voucher Template for B5 Paper - IMFE edition
License: Private Use (not for distribution or resale). See our Terms of Use.
You are safe to download the resources. We've added our digital signatures to the files.
Download this if you want this design to be set as the default template by the installer program.
Without database file. How to download and use
Download this if you have already installed IMFE, and are looking for additional customized templates; or if you want a template for Invoice Manager (Lite).
The print result of an Excel form usually is usually not ideal if the paper size isn't what the Excel form designed for. This sample Payment Voucher Template for B5 Paper demonstrates how to adjust the form design for a changed paper size.
In this sample, we'll take Excel Payment Voucher Template (c5052) as the base template, which is designed for A4 (8.27 inch x 11.69 inch) in Portrait orientation, and make it suitable for B5 paper (7.17 inch X 10.12 inch) with Portrait orientation. During the customization, we'll remove the redundant controls / buttons from the form since with the latest version of Invoice Manager for Excel (namely Uniform Invoice Software), they are no longer needed.
Step 1: Before customizing the payment voucher layout, we'll first need to make a backup copy of the original design. It is also recommended to make a backup during the customization, so that it is easy and quick to return to a previous step in case something goes wrong.
Step 2: Open the voucher template as usual, switch to design mode by clicking the "Design Mode" button on the "Invoice" worksheet.
Step 3: Go to Excel "Page Layout" ribbon, in "Page Setup" group click "Size" and then choose B5 paper size.
Step 4: Click Excel menu "File", and then "Print". Excel shows in preview how many pages it required to print the current form. In this case, Excel shows that it requires two pages to print the original voucher form with the new B5 paper size.
Step 5: Inspect the preview image. On the vertical direction, without scaling one page height is enough to print the original form. On the horizontal direction, the width is not enough - by default it is able to print 4 columns only, but our payment voucher has 5 columns.
Step 6: Still in print preview mode, click the "Show Margins" button on the bottom-right corner. When "Show Margins" is pushed down, the preview shows drag handlers for margins and columns. Drag these handlers to resize margins and columns. Since we need space for only 1 column (the "Amount" column), it is possible to add it by reduce the width of the other columns. Once there is enough space for the missing "Amount" column, it appears automatically.
Like the original template, this new design does not use the customer account feature - that is, when run with Invoice Manager for Excel (namely Uniform Invoice Software), it does not distinguish between customers, and thus not keep customer accounting / bookkeeping data. We simply assign a letter "A" automatically to the field "oknWhoID" (database field "CustomerID" in both the "Customer" and "Invoice Header" database tables), so that Invoice Manager for Excel (namely Uniform Invoice Software) will not create a new customer account. With this voucher format, The "Name" and "Address" field on the printable form is always manually entered (See all our editable invoicing templates).
With this template, we removed all the product / item buttons. They are no longer necessary because Invoice Manager for Excel (namely Uniform Invoice Software) now supports the "on-sheet" picker button. When you enable this function, the invoicing software shows a small button automatically whenever you click a product / item row, allowing you to open the list of all products / items, where you can search and select one or multiple items.
Like all the other templates here on "invoice templates", Payment Voucher Format for B5 Paper comes with a PDF voucher template too. You can also visit all PDF invoice templates.
Like other form designs here on InvoicingTemplate.com, Payment Voucher Format for B5 Paper is free (offered to you at a price of 0.00USD). It works on Windows XP and all newer versions of Windows, and Excel 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016 or 2019.
