Independent networks can be the right choice for clients that appreciate the value of a global network of firms, but don't want to be confined to a single brand agency.
When Lisa Arthur became CMO of productivity software provider Mindjet last September, an agency contract was up, and the company was re-evaluating options. It ultimately selected GlobalFluency (GF) as AOR for its flexibility, efficiency, and speed.
"A big global agency was a blanket, and we [wouldn't] be able to reward relationships with other agencies that were doing a good job," Arthur says. "We can plug and play GF when and where [we] need, and it partners with firms that worked well for Mindjet."
GF, a network of 34 agencies in 40 countries, began only four years ago. On network projects, members drop individual brand identity and operate as GF. "We can engage resources within a day or two," says GF SVP Derek Kober. "We don't necessarily engage entire agencies. That helps keep it very cost-effective."
Using GF, Mindjet reduced global PR spend by 40% without reducing reach.
"Our pockets aren't deep, but we need PR in global markets," notes Arthur. "[GF] organizes all [resources] and shuts it down when the program is over. I don't have to rely on my head of PR to navigate all those agencies."
Centralized infrastructure helps GF manage projects and increases efficiency. "Larger agencies have infrastructures that support a lot of different disciplines," says Brian Regan, GF SVP. "We focus on tech, telecoms, and related disciplines. We can be more competitive because our offices aren't shackled to global cost structures that are... forced on them."
In other networks, one agency is commonly hired, and it pulls in partners as client needs demand.
"Every network goes through the same evolution," says Matt Kucharski, a Padilla Speer Beardsley (PSB) SVP and Worldcom board member. "The question is what you do with it - band together and pitch as the network, or make the network a key feature of each agency?"
Local-strength driven
Worldcom branding is part of individual agency branding, but doesn't usurp it. A lead office is critical in determining strategy, and Kucharski says most search consultants report that agencies are hired based on local office strength. Such was the case with Worldcom client Valspar, a Minneapolis-based paint and coatings manufacturer with more than 50 worldwide locations.
"We wanted PSB because it's a Minnesota company," says Tim Dowse, Valspar corporate security director. "As Valspar grew and became [more] international, [the network] was a definite benefit."
Ronald Hanser, president of Hanser & Associates and chairman of Pinnacle Worldwide, says network benefits include sharing global best practices and knowing that clients get quality service from network partners.
Roche Pharmaceuticals hired Hanser & Associates as an AOR in 1999 when it began assembling its own agency system, Roche Agency Network (RAN). RAN comprises six firms, including two other Pinnacle members: Houston-based de La Garza PR and Chicago-based HLB Communications. Alfred Wasilewski, Roche executive director of corporate communications, says he chose the agencies based on local market expertise, rather than the Pinnacle affiliation.
Skanska, a leading global construction group, works with nine agencies - three of which are PROI (Public Relations Organisation International) partners (Frause Group in Seattle; Tucker/Hall in Tampa, FL; and Jackson Spalding in Atlanta). Stockholm, Sweden-based Skanska has grown through acquisition, thus inheriting many agencies in US markets.
While Jessica Murray, Skanska's director of field communications, says she, too, hires based on local expertise, the network is an "added bonus." "I manage that communication less, and the connection can help speed the grand [global] unification," she notes.
New models take shape
Lumin is one example of a newer breed of network, formed in 2003 by CRT/Tanaka, Peppercom, PSB, Davies PR, and Conexion. Essentially, it operates as a think tank of like-minded companies, committed to training, research, and best practices. "It's about pooling resources, minds, and monies to explore what's next in PR, communications, and marketing," says Lumin cofounder Patrice Tanaka, co-chair and chief creative officer at CRT/Tanaka.
CRT/Tanaka also belongs to Pinnacle, and PSB is part of Worldcom. Tanaka and Kucharski report benefits from membership in both types of networks.
"I've always seen Pinnacle as dots on the map," Tanaka says. "The idea with Lumin is to make ourselves smarter counselors. We also look at creating greater efficiencies. Recruitment is one of the biggest common challenges, [so] we met with potential vendors we could all tap together under Lumin. We [also] look at volume discounts if it makes sense."
Converge, formed by eight firms late last year, is a hybrid - a national network of similar agencies that share knowledge, resources, and clients. There is no formal leader.
"It's a blend of both models," says Doug Spong, president of Carmichael Lynch Spong (CLS) and a founding member of Converge. "It's designed to benefit individual clients without worrying about who's making money off what. [There are no] dues [or] bylaws. We're not feed[ing] the beast, and we're not bound. For example, [because CLS is] owned by Interpublic, we may want to tap Weber Shandwick or GolinHarris, but there's no pressure to exclusively use Interpublic or Converge."

How do I grow Yesterday Today Tomorrow seeds?
How to grow Yesterday Today Tomorrow seeds. How long does it take for them to root? What kind of planting material should I use? If the seeds are \"older\" is there still a chance they may grow? Thank you.
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
At most, it should only take a month. Older seeds may take slightly longer, or may not even germinate at all if they were not stored properly. Any light potting soil, or peat moss mix will be just fine for starting these. Here is an article with a little more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/shrubs/yesterday-today-tomorrow/brunsfelsia-propagation.htm

Suspect Arrested and Charged For Shooting at World Nightclub
Police in Charlotte arrested and charged a 23-year-old man in connection with a shooting that happened at World Nightclub in Charlotte last week. Jean Caldwell-Thompson was arrested on August 28 for the shooting that occurred on August 20. According to the police, a fight started inside the nightclub at around 1:49 a.m., between employees and several people who were with a stage performer's group. An unnamed 26-year-old club employee was shot during the fight and brought to Carolinas Medical Center for treatment. His injuries were not considered life-threatening.
Police believe the fight began when a club employee asked the performers to stop drinking from a liquor bottle, which is against state law.
Caldwell-Thompson has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He was booked into Mecklenburg County Jail.
When Are Nightclub Owners Liable For Shootings?
Attorney contributor Brian Kent of CrimeVictim.Attorney specializes in helping the victims of various types of crime find justice. Here is some of his perspective on business owner liability for shootings and stabbings:
Bars and nightclubs are intense environments and the consumption of large amounts of alcohol can sometimes lead to violence. The owners of these establishments have a legal duty to make sure their customers are safe. If a shooting or stabbing occurs at a bar or nightclub, there are some situations in which the victims could have grounds for a lawsuit against the property owner.
In order to have grounds for a lawsuit, victims and their lawyers must establish that negligence on the part of the bar or nightclub allowed the violent incident to occur. For example, a lack of adequate security may be considered negligent if better security could have prevented the incident.
Additionally, dram shop laws allow alcohol vendors to be held liable if they served alcohol to someone who was visibly intoxicated and that person injured someone else because they were intoxicated. These laws sometimes apply to bar fights and violence, along with drunk driving accidents.
Establishing liability for nightclub shootings is complicated and varies greatly depending on the specific circumstances of a particular case. If you or someone you love recently became the victim of violent crime in a nightclub, we advise discussing your legal options with an experienced crime victim lawyer.

Dear Mary,
I leave off the honorific as your behavior makes a mockery of a title which is intended to denote a level of behavior to which you have never been inclined to adhere.
You always knew I had been defrauded by Alex because you were well aware he had never divorced Marion Stoner. Instead of informing me of these facts you entered into a conspiracy with him, by your own admission in the letter below. To quote, "Finally Norman and I decided to keep the matter "secret" that there was no point in harming you or the children - and at that time Alexander (Sir) worshipped (sic) the ground you walked on and cherished the children."
This is, itself, a fantasy, which you well know. Worshiped the ground I walked on? Enough was shared with you, along with what you saw, to make me question your sanity at such an assertion. Alex was responsible for our 13 evictions, for continued depletion of my 401K to pay for his bouncing checks, physical abuse, continued, unremitting emotional abuse, and the ugliest divorce anyone could imagine. This seems like worship to you? Is this your way of saying you deify Satan?
No decent person would leave someone they, "viewed as a daughter," and their grandchildren, if they actually cared about them, in such a legally vulnerable position. And in 2009 you showed not a shred of concern for me or the children. We could have starved, for all you cared.
Your motives were very much otherwise. Self interest was your motivator, which your later actions confirm. You had been embarrassed by Alex's criminal behavior in Australia, horrified when he was convicted and sent to prison. All of these reflected badly on the pretense you have always attempted to maintain as a person of title and good reputation.
Of course, that statement did not then, or now, bear close examination.
Your father was a car salesman. Your mother a homemaker. These are honest occupations and worthy of respect - if carried out honestly, but no different, except for, perhaps accomplished income, than those held by my own parents. My parents, and fore-bearers, were honest, hard working people. No jailbirds in the lot.
No one in my family has ever been arrested for fraud or assault, convicted, and been incarcerated. Yet, you ignore the respectable side of your family and, instead, continue to the pretense you originate from the aristocracy. A sad delusion.
Titles, evidently, must be taken with a grain of salt. Good reputation is more objective, grounded on the evidence of such values as truth-telling, hard work, compassion, and simple decency.
Over the last year I have learned, to my shock, facts about your own behavior which are, to say the least, scandalous. These facts include information about your behavior, while employed, your 'social life,' and other revelations. Alex was not the source. I know better than to believe him.
In the wake of the trial in Queen's Court of July 2011 I was contacted by the media. I told the truth because I believe all of us need to live the truth and not contort and distort the facts to support illusions, our own or others'. My children know this. Being raised by a father who never told the truth impacted them as well. This, you choose to forget.
For two years I had struggled to support my children, your grandchildren, with no help from the Manchester Trusts or you and your family. This was an conscienceless act on your part. Your letter is a morass of lies, self-justifications which do nothing but reveal you to be what you are, a social climber who was hoisted on your own petard when you grabbed the opportunity for a title without considering the man who offered you the title, for former husband Angus, who later became the 12th Duke of Manchester.
Your grasping for entitlement is clear from the article written about you and Alex when Angus became duke in 1985. Mary and Alexander: It's a title fight. Your former husband, Alex's father, was being tried for fraud while the two of you squabbled over titles.
I am well aware the Manchester Trusts did the right thing as soon as they were apprised of the facts. You had not in 1993, 1996, or later. Those in charge of the Trusts have my absolute gratitude and support for their unfailing rectitude.
Your lies regarding the Marion Stoner marriage, again presented in your asinine letter, are refuted by copious documentation. You stand exposed as a liar, worse so since, as a supposed journalist, you had access to the means for ascertaining all of the facts.
In this letter you have libeled Marion Stoner and myself. Your actions have cost me years of my life. If I had known Alex was married I would never have married him. At the moment he informed you he was marrying you were obligated to tell the truth. You did not.
Every year since then has been stolen from me, as marriage to him denied me the opportunities which my work ethic and inherent abilities would have obtained, to say nothing of the emotional costs exacted.
During this time you and your 'family' have lived lives free of pain and embarrassment. Your freedom was paid by me, unwittingly becoming the caretaker for your psychopathic son, Alex.
I will tell the truth. Justice will be done, this, I promise.
Wendy Dawn Buford Montagu
See email below from Mary Montagu to Wendy Buford Montagu
From: Mary Montagu [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] Sent: Friday, July 22, 2011 2:43 PMTo: Montagu, Wendy (OC)Subject: Disgust and HurtImportance: High
Wendy, I am at a total loss to understand your diatribe of vicious lies against myself and Emma and Kimble in the British press. It is ironic as as soon as we heard of the hearing - not until after the judgment - we were all devastated this public outing would have on the innocent parties, Alexander Jnr and Ashley. We were in the process, on Thursday, Australian time, of seeking to offer them a trip to Australia for summer and possible further schooling in Australia for Alexander. It is all very well to express our hurt and amazement at your vitriolic actions --- but what about your children --- one can only presume that you care very little for them.
Now to more specific things and a couple of lies. I had absolutely no knowledge of any alleged marriage ceremony entered into with that Stoner woman until I was approached at my workplace, well after you were "married" and I believe Alexander would have been about 4 at the time. The woman was then in her late 40s and had teenage children - she had been in a very long term relationship which led me, my attorneys and employer at the time to believe it had been a total set-up and scam. And although I do not believe anything that Alexander says these days I believe that at barely 20 at a BBQ party he was tricked into "let's all pretend to get married". If you think for a moment at the press Alexander has always generated how come not a word of this ceremony made it into any of the local Melbourne, Australian press. It doesn't make sense. I paid the woman off --- Norman told Alexander what was going on -- and a divorce, annulment was obtained. I have the legal papers signed by the woman at the time accepting the "blackmail" amount in full and final settlement. Norman and Parke held the legal papers.
Now, this nonsense about you not knowing I was alive until after Alexander was born.... A lie, Wendy, you forget Wendy, that one of my oldest and best friends from University, Norman Parker was - during the time and up until his death, Alexander's de facto father. I spoke to you before the baby was born and the day after you and Alexander went through the form of marriage. I have always regarded you as a daughter and Emma has loved you like a sister. Norman totally regarded you as his "family" and indeed made provision with certain funds here in Australia, at a discretion of executors, that would go to Alexander at the age of 21. I am now seeking (as one of the executors) to have this negated.
I have stood up for you throughout all the drama of the past few years. I have not spoken to Alexander since, or barely. I do not enter into any discussion with Laura.
I have consistently said, regardless of who the father is, or under what circumstances, they are my grandchildren and Alexander both morally and financially should accept the responsibility --- and they should be protected above all.
Unfortunately the children are the innocent victims.
You have turned, in my mind, into a vitriolic trailer park harridan. I can not believe that my love and respect for you meant so little. That you would honestly believe that I know or disguised this Stoner business.
And much as I hate to say it, and as a result of investigations by my solicitors here and my own searches I absolutely believe that Alexander had no idea that the backyard wedding ceremony was anything more than a joke. He never lived with or slept with this woman. At the time he was in a committed relationship with Sonia, who was in fact and innocent party at the BBQ.
Finally Norman and I decided to keep the matter "secret" that there was no point in harming you or the children - and at that time Alexander (Sir) worshipped the ground you walked on and cherished the children.
Wendy, I have since University, kept a detailed diary and these facts are documented. Including the first time I visited, when you lived next door to you mother, and the grueling and distressing grilling on how much money Alexander had and how to get hold of it shocked me, but over the years I put the conversation to the back of my mind and put it down as my own paranoia.
Wendy I cannot forgive you. Finally I told you of Emma's very dire health problems and this last couple of days have seen her condition deteriorate significantly - - not the case which we supported at the time and indeed its judgment - but your trailer park vent to the press and the irreparable damage done to your children with total disregard to their well being and future by your rant.has resulted
Mary Montagu
PS: There is no way that the Trusts - either in the US or UK knew of either the sham marriage nor the subsequent annulment.

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in retail
By G.S. Vijay Kumar, 12th Jan 2012 | Follow this author
| RSS Feed
Posted in WikinutBusinessInvestment
, those who are opposing the entry of global retail giants seem to be oblivious of the fact that consumers benefit substantially from these stores in terms of quality of goods as well as price. Even now, some of these large format domestic retailers offer a standard discount of 7 % on the MRP of all goods, in addition to offering many other attractive consumer promotions and schemes. As against this, the neighbourhood kirana stores sell goods at MRP and do not offer any discount.
FDI in Retail - Let the consumer decide where to buy from
FDI in Retail- Let the consumer decide where to buy from?
The opposition's attack of the government over its decision to allow Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the retail sector, 51% in multi-brand retail and 100% in single brand retail, seems to be skewed and meaningless. The opposition's main argument against the government's move is that this would affect the neighbourhood kirana stores which currently account for nearly 90% of the country's retail business.
To begin with, out of an estimated 8 million kirana stores in the country, nearly 75% or 6 million kirana stores are spread over rural India where the global retail giants cannot establish their stores as they are outside the 53 cities which have been allowed. Besides, in the last few years when large format domestic chains were allowed to invest in retail, we have seen that both large retail stores as well as neighbourhood kirana stores have co-existed. The scenario is not likely to be any different when foreign retail stores step in.
It is argued that global retail giants like Walmart, who have deep pockets, would set up operations in India at prime locations and sell their merchandise at very low prices and thereby undercut the local kirana stores selling similar products. It is further argued that they will initially buy in large quantities and sell at low prices and undercut small retailers. They will thus drive away the small retailers and create a monopolistic situation and then start buying low and sell at higher prices. This argument appears to be bizarre, particularly in a large market like India. In the unlikely event of such a happening, new entrepreneurs would readily enter the market to compete. In a homogeneous market, new entrants will automatically enter or exit the market depending on the opportunities it presents at any given time.
Besides, those who are opposing the entry of global retail giants seem to be oblivious of the fact that consumers benefit substantially from these stores in terms of quality of goods as well as price. Even now, some of these large format domestic retailers offer a standard discount of 7 % on the MRP of all goods, in addition to offering many other attractive consumer promotions and schemes. As against this, the neighbourhood kirana stores sell goods at MRP and do not offer any discount. Further, many times, the goods are not properly stored in their outlets. If you buy a packet of biscuits or any food products, it is likely to smell of detergent or cosmetic products as many of them do not have proper storage facilities. The 7 % discount as well as other promotions and schemes offer good incentives to the consumer especially in an otherwise inflationary environment.
The opposition's criticism of job losses is also unfounded. In a large market like ours, there will be opportunities for all kinds of retailers to co-exist. The local kirana stores could offer better personalized services, free home delivery, offer credit facilities and such other services in order to remain competitive and retain customers. Besides, the entry of foreign large format stores will make the local kirana stores more efficient over a period of time. We need to create employment opportunities for our people but this need not be at the cost of efficiency. The entry of large foreign retailers will bring in efficiency to the system, better retailing and merchandising practices, better storing systems, better pricing mechanism, and proper back end systems and so on and so forth. Besides, it may be worth mentioning that many of these so-called corner stores exploit the workforce by paying ridiculously low salaries, long working hours as well as very poor working conditions.
It is quite natural that efficient retailers would survive and inefficient ones would perish. This holds true in all walks of life. In the immediate future, large retail chains are likely to hire a lot of people and we are going to witness a sudden spurt in jobs. However, over the longer term, redistribution of jobs may take place and we may find some jobs drying up and some new ones emerge.
In India, many of us have not been exposed to the benefits of modern trade and have been patronizing the local kirana stores for many years. Large format domestic retail stores have entered the scene in the last 7-8 years and they have contributed in no small measure to the overall development of the retail trade. Needless to mention, shopping experience has been made more pleasant coupled with better pricing vis-à-vis the corner stores. The entry of global retail stores is likely to give a further fillip to this development and the whole economy will gain in the long run.
Some of the large format retail stores sell vegetables at a much lower rate than the vegetable vendor in the corner vegetable market. Tomatoes are sold at Rs. 13 per KG on some days in these large stores as against Rs. 25-30 charged by the roadside vegetable vendors. Similarly, potatoes, onions as well as many other vegetables are available at a much lesser rate in these large stores compared to the local vegetable vendors. In the arguments over preserving the local corner stores, one tends to forget the interests of the common man. One fails to understand as to why should the consumer be forced to buy from the local vegetable vendors by paying a higher price? We cannot afford to gloss over the interests of the consumer, which includes the kirana shop-owner as well as his workmen. The consumer is supreme in a market economy and no fallacious arguments about protecting the corner stores can stand the test of reason. In any case, let the consumer decide what to buy and where to buy from? Let us leave that choice to the consumer.
It appears that we are replicating the same old story of 1991 when the country had written the obituary of Indian brands and businessmen which only have got better and bigger now than they would have otherwise achieved without competition.

During and idle meander, I found some insights on critique groups by Elizabeth Hein that describe my own experience very well.
I'd add one more personality type: the Labrador puppy. They bound in, decide everyone is their instant best friend and want to be involved in everything. At the end of the session, they bound away, promptly forget about everything they said or that was said to them and are never seen again.
Just like the Labrador puppy that bounds up to you in the park.
Scribbling In The Storage Room
I am a firm believer in critique groups. Critique buddies lend encouragement, keep you accountable to a writing schedule and see flaws in your work that you can't. Nevertheless, group dynamics can be difficult. Even though writers are stereotypically considered to be introverts, that doesn't mean we are immune from power plays and politics. Like any relationship, your relationships with your critique buddies are bound to have ups and downs. There will be weeks when you want to quit but, I suggest once you've found a group that works for you, stick with it. (We'll talk about groups that don't work another day.)
In any group of more than two people, group dynamics come into play. It's interesting how we can each fall into a role within a critique group. Some of the roles I have witnessed are:
- The Bully speaks first and speaks loudest. Their opinion is the only…

Inakat is a self-published author from Detroit, Michigan. She began her writing career at a very young age but did not circulate any of her work publicly until 2010. Her first work, Where Day Gets it Done, was a short bi-lingual story. Later, Inakat went on to pen the first novel of what eventually became the Synz En Detroit Series. Today, she has three distinct book series, four short stories, and four "novelettes," in addition to several pieces of poetry shared with the public. In 2012, she decided to include recorded spoken word in her content roster.
A college graduated Medical Assistant by trade that preferred writing, Inakat still continues to write about subjects that carry meaningful life lessons for her target audience. Poetry and spoken word were skill sets that she had generally reserved for private audiences. It was a few scant years ago that Inakat began to blossom under the well-lit range of creative arts in her arsenal. A large portion of the work from cover design to Front and Back End administration roles, she does. Currently, she is working on completing a B.A in Applied Behavioral Sciences, and launching another business venture aimed at relationship education and empowerment from a personal and evidence-based perspective… and of course her books.
In 2015, Inakat branched out to form IGM (Inakat Graphics & Media), where she consulted and coached others through the many minuscule tasks of websites and media content publishing. Her background credentials are 20 years (and counting) of internet website building, design, management, and marketing. Inakat began when dot-matrix printers and landlines were essential functions of internet use. Even today, as technology moves forward with blistering speed, Inakat continually cultures herself to stay in tune with cyberworld advances. However, despite the countless things that Inakat has done as a job function or from sheer necessity, the one thing that she loves to do without exception is to write. It was the love of writing and creation that personally helped Inakat learn what she did not know about herself.
In her own words, "An appreciation for the fine arts was instilled in myself and siblings by our mother, for as far back as I can remember. I was taught early on that music, words, poetry, dance, and hand arts had educational and therapeutic value for the soul. I cannot imagine an Earth without them. I think that would make this world a cold place that lacked passion, fire, funk, flavor, and individuality. These tools are needed to help humanity build a civilized and elegant world. Art is critical to our continued survival because, in a real sense, it is the breath of life. It is that belief that inspires me to continue to write and produce, against all the odds.
The thing that written word taught me about myself was that I had never been in love. I heard stories of love but never actually been in love or even been in a healthy and loving relationship. Love is supposed to be mutual respect and honest value of a mate. Love is a positive vibration that is soul deep. Right now, I'm working that out in the Touch of Base series for my audience and me. If this concept is true, I want to be ready should it ever happen for me."

And now it's time for AN URCHIN EVERYDAY January! Yaaaaay!
Also known as Red Rags, Black Ashes, Kid Pilliwinks, The Firebrat, God's Murder, The Corpse Maker, and The Bane of Queen Molly, Lil' Ragamuffin is considered one of the most dangerous and unpredictable of the 1919 Garbagetown Urchin brood. She was at first incorrectly identified as an urchin of Reinhoffer-Ootz type #12A: Unaffiliated Steppenurchin by undercover Urchinfinder agents, but more recent researchers have reclassified her as an urchin of type #34C: Ankle-Biter.
Facts on File: Completed the ritual. Sees lines without lines after replacing her eyes with those of a cat. Accomplished on the gypsy fiddle, competent on washboard bass. Knowledgable poisoner. Although illiterate, she does understand hobo signs. A former pugilist, once known on the baby brawling circuit as "Kid Pilliwinks." Her greatest fight lasted twenty three rounds against reigning bare-knuckle champion "The Hungarian." She has a tattoo on her back – a weeping swallow under a banner that reads "Dysentary Kills Slowly." Died for the first time in 1925 from hypothermia, and again in 1928, also from hypothermia.
Lil' Ragamuffin has never sworn a spittleoath to any Swarmlord, but will often join forces with the Upper East Side swarm known as the Apple Cobbler Gang.
After pupation*, Lil' Ragamuffin briefly worked in a munitions factory making bombshells for allied forces during World War II, where she was believed to be the mastermind of the alleged plot to kill Hitler's dog. Sir Percival Throckmorton Scruffs worked in the US army chemical weapons division and was instrumental in developing The Smell that Could Kill.
*The rare urchins who reach the age of 13 will often metastasize into hoboes or hoodlums, depending on how much royal jelly they consumed during their larval stages.
Discussion (7) ¬
Little known fact: This http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/12/We_Can_Do_It!.jpg IS Little Ragamuffin post-pupation! Notice her bombshells, which were very popular. Also check out those guns.
Yes a poste about Rags again! Thanks for the Urchin facts that was really informative. By the way I like her unpredictable look, Madness with a squint of deranged happiness, it seems like she has discovered the magic of heroin.
Do I? It's been so long. What was I going to give you advice about? I can probably figure out what it was if I know the topic. I don't come up with these things randomly.
Oh! No, it's cool. You basically went with it. Less exposition, more just showing the crazy shit happening while they relationshipped.

Liberty News
School of Aeronautics names Dr. Rick Roof interim dean
Effective July 1, Dr. Richard "Rick" Roof will assume the role of interim dean for the Liberty University School of Aeronautics. Dr. Roof, now the third dean in the SOA's history, has an M.A.R. in Pastoral Counseling from Liberty University and a Ph.D. in Organizational Leadership from Regent University, as well as an FAA Airline Transport Pilot Certificate. He replaces outgoing dean Jim Molloy.
Regarding this transition, Liberty University Provost and Chief Academic Officer Dr. Scott Hicks, said: "Under Jim Molloy's leadership, the School of Aeronautics has achieved critical milestones, bringing the aeronautics program and the university national acclaim. Jim's presence will be missed, but his influence will be lasting. We are equally excited to welcome Dr. Roof as our interim dean and look forward to continued program growth and accomplishments under his very capable hands. His business and aviation experience will serve him well in this new position as he leads a great team to new heights."
Dr. Roof brings a vast amount of industry and education experience to the School of Aeronautics. After serving nine years in the Air Force as an avionics technician and operations researcher, Dr. Roof spent twenty years in senior positions in information technology, manufacturing, and publishing. He led an internet start-up company and was president and CEO of a specialized air carrier.
His professional flying began with his role as Director of Flight Operations-ISR for Dynamic Aviation, where he also led their leadership and organizational development program. Dr. Roof then served as dean of students and chair of the Leadership and Justice program at San Diego Christian College. He has served Liberty University since 2012 as an online adjunct and instructional mentor for the School of Business, School of Engineering, and School of Aeronautics. Most recently, Dr. Roof has served as online chair for Liberty's School of Aeronautics.
"Liberty has consistently been blessed with committed and innovative leadership," said Dr. Shawn Akers, Liberty University's online provost. "And nowhere has that been more evident than in the development and growth of the School of Aeronautics' online programs. Dr. Roof has extensive experience with online program development and has shown strong leadership as the online chair for the School of Aeronautics. I am confident that our students will benefit from his leadership, and the School of Aeronautics' online programs will continue to grow and prosper during his tenure as interim dean."
When speaking about this new opportunity, Roof said, "This is an exciting time for the School of Aeronautics as the urgent demand for aviation professionals continues to provide abundant opportunities for our graduates. The future of the school is exciting with plans to launch new graduate programs, relocate and integrate much of the school to the main Liberty campus, research and integrate new aviation and instructional concepts, and continue to refine and expand our online presence across the country. I am humbled and honored to be able to serve the School of Aeronautics in this new role and to continue the school's legacy of preparing true Champions for Christ to impact aeronautics communities everywhere."
Dr. Molloy served as dean of the School of Aeronautics since 2014. He will continue with Liberty University as an online adjunct professor and will assist in the development of the school's graduate degree programs.
"Liberty is a very special place, and I consider myself extremely blessed to be a part of Liberty's mission," Molloy said. "In our roles, we have a very special mission to equip, mentor, and send our students into the aerospace industry to become leaders and difference-makers as Champions for Christ. Within God's vision and economy, we want to influence every aspect of the aerospace industry with aviation professionals of godly character and virtue."
The School of Aeronautics has over 450 residential and over 2,300 online students. Its programs prepare graduates for careers as airline, corporate, and mission aviation pilots, aircraft mechanics and aircraft mechanic managers, unmanned aerial systems operators and mechanics, flight attendants, airport managers, and leaders for all other aspects of the aviation industry. The school has been the holder of both the Loening Trophy and the American Airlines Safety Trophy for the past three years. The Loening Trophy is awarded annually to the top collegiate aviation program in the nation. Liberty's aircraft maintenance competition teams have been awarded the United Airlines Team Professionalism Award two of the last three years at national competition.

Justice Scalia responds to Obamacare ruling in a blaze of fury
Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia has given up on persuading anyone. Instead, he's going out in a blaze of fury. His dissent in King v. Burwell, the case that today saved a major portion of the Affordable Care Act, is one sputter and accusation of bad faith after another.
"We should start calling this law SCOTUScare," Scalia sneered in an opinion joined by Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas, referring both to King v. Burwell and NFIB v. Sebelius, the 2012 case in which Chief Justice John Roberts also joined the liberals to uphold the act. Rather than merely detailing legal principles, Scalia wrote, "the overriding principle of the present Court [is that] the Affordable Care Act must be saved." To that end, he added, "Impossible possibility, thy name is an opinion on the Affordable Care Act!"
RELATED: Supreme Court upholds Obamacare subsidies
Getting there requires, in Scalia's inimitable words, "interpretive jiggery-pokery," in which "words no longer have meaning."
Scalia all but called his colleagues idiots in analyzing their conclusion that the language of the law means the subsidies are legal in 50 states. "You would think the answer would be obvious — so obvious there would hardly be a need for the Supreme Court to hear a case about it," he wrote. Many liberals would actually agree with that point, though for different reasons, and they were staggered that the Supreme Court chose to take the case at all.
To add insult to Scalia's injury, his own words from the last time he dissented on the Affordable Care Act were thrown back in his face by Roberts.
That 2012 case turned on a different legal question, the constitutionality of the individual mandate and the Medicaid expansion. In Scalia's dissent to Roberts' opinion in the earlier case, he wrote, "Without the federal subsidies … the exchanges would not operate as Congress intended and may not operate at all."
Today, in King v. Burwell, Roberts quoted those words back to Scalia to illustrate that "it is implausible that Congress meant the Act to operate in this manner," meaning denying subsidies to people in states without their own exchanges. The implication was that Scalia himself had described the act one way when it suited his political ends, and the opposite way when it didn't. It was subtle, but in his own way, the chief justice was giving as good as he got.

You only need twenty minutes to make my Peanut Butter Pretzel White Chocolate Bark. It's filled with crunchy peanuts, pretzels, and salty and sweet flavor.
Peanut Butter Pretzel White Chocolate Bark is a fun and easy candy bark recipe that comes together in just twenty minutes.
Just a hint of peanut butter is mixed in with the white chocolate melting wafers, creating a creamy, salty and sweet base. Pretzels and peanuts are mixed in, giving the bark a nice crunch and texture.
This is a fantastic recipe for children to help with, because you only need a few ingredients and there is minimal measuring involved.
If you measure the the mix-ins beforehand, They can help stir and spread the chocolate, or sprinkle extra pieces on top. Plus, it's fun to break the bark into pieces once it has chilled.
Chocolate bark is one of my favorite dessert recipes to make in a pinch. Fill gift tins or favor bags with bark. Or, fill a dessert tray for your next get together. You don't even have to turn on the oven for this recipe, which makes it a fantastic last-minute dessert.
Peanut Butter Pretzel White Chocolate Bark
- 12 ounces white chocolate melting wafers
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup peanuts
- 3/4 cup crushed pretzels
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a glass bowl, add melting wafers and peanut butter. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring until melted. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler on the stove top.
- Add peanuts and crushed pretzels to melted chocolate. Stir to coat.
- Pour mixture onto parchment paper. Using a spatula, spread chocolate into a thin, even layer. Your bark should be about 1/4" thick and make about a 10 to 12 inch circle with no holes.
- Place cookie sheet into refrigerator to harden, about 10 minutes. Break into pieces and store in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks.

Gutenberg's Apprentice is Alix Christie's first novel and an auspicious start to her fiction career. Christie apprenticed to different master printers (Lester Lloyd, the longtime foreman of the Mackenzie & Harris type foundry of San Francisco, which Arion Press now owns, and James & Carolyn Robertson at the Yolla Bolly Press). The book is dedicated to them and other master printers. Of course it would take a printer to understand and appreciate the story of Gutenberg and his workshop to be able to write about it in a compelling way.
The book revolves around the printing of the Gutenberg Bibles, and retells (imagined) the story behind its printing – of the men, the tools, the methods, and their trials & tribulations. We're introduced to Gutenberg as a psychopathic man out to profit both monetarily and immortality. The main character is Peter Schoeffer (adopted son of Johann Fust) – which probably contributes partly to the "fictitious" aspect of this novel (Schoeffer did marry Fust's daughter in reality, but this was many years after they became partners).
Mainly set in Mainz, as can be seen by the book's endpaper maps, the design of the book itself is very nice. Casebound (not quarter cloth), with a die-cut dustcover that reveals the faces' design on the cover itself. Paper quality could have been much better (it's the matte semi-opaque type of paper, with a fake deckle edge). For a hardcover book, it's hard to do much better with today's mass production and not be marketed as a deluxe edition.
The typography of Gutenberg's Apprentice is where most of the focus of the book's design was put, and it succeeded. There are alternating viewpoints throughout the book (broken into chapters). The drop caps of each chapter is selected based on which viewpoint it's from (both are from Schoeffer's point of view, but one is several years in the future while the other is the present-day Gutenberg Bible producing timeline). The titles and body are set in Historical Fell Type, designed by Peter de Walpergen. Main chapter (present-day Gutenberg production) drop caps come from Linotype "Like Gutenberg Caps" from the Monotype company.
The floriated drop caps for the Sponheim Abbey chapters are facsimiles of illuminated initials from Gutenberg's final book – the Catholicon of Balbus (held by Yale).
Since the typography itself is such an essential part of book design, it's only appropriate that the narrative of the book discusses calligraphy and the production of metal type in depth with accessible knowledge. All the concepts of the book-making trade is on display through Christie's marvelous descriptive language. The design of type from the first samples to the production of casts and the improvement of the metal type production is described thoroughly. It's said that Gutenberg performed alchemy to produce the printing press, but Christine has performed literal alchemy by making the entire story behind the Gutenberg Bible a treasure trove full of interesting facts and compelling drama.
While it's not nonfiction – it's generally historically accurate and I doubt anybody else could have pulled off this novel while still making it eminently readable and intriguing.
The best fiction published in 2014 thus far for me – highly recommended, especially if you enjoy reading about books or fine press books. You'll enjoy a rollicking good medieval tale along with learning about the process of making books.
Overall Grade – A
ISBN: (First Edition, 2014)
Publisher: Harper
Binding: Casebound, die-cut dustcover, fake deckle edge, headbands (Very Good)
Paper: Matte, newsprint-like at times (Good)

As a whole sideline, it's possible you'll have an interest to know that when James Kent set up the pottery in 1897, one of the 5 employees who came with him from his earlier partnership (Barker & Kent) was Septimus Bennett, the brother of the author, Arnold Bennett, greatest known for his novels set within the Potteries area, including Clayhanger and Anna of the Five Towns. A whole trade has been built underneath the premis that by changing your considering patterns you'll change your life. I do not think both store ever has these patterns on sale so I normally actually have to like/need the pattern with a view to buy it.
I am cautious of buying patterns from overseas for supply by post in case they get slapped with customs expenses. I might solely purchase Vogue through Club BMV during their sale, but our Highlight has a AU$5 per pattern sale every year. These patterns change into the analysis, as well as the method for making sure that the present's fashions are traditionally accurate. I noticed just one store which sells patterns (the Large four, Burda envelope patterns, Colette, Sewaholic and Oliver +S) however the prices are fairly depressing: €18-23 on average. I've never seen some other sample targeted mag out there in the UK aside from on the now vanished RD Franks in London. I simply need to add that I used indie heirloom stitching patterns for children a lot. Also, the selection of patterns here is always limited so now I dont even trouble.
I will participate in a number of artwork journal or inventive immediate websites this 12 months to maintain me on my creative journey. I do not need to think about the overall prices of delivery, it's huge, so I really cherish my US patterns. I lately joined club BMV and got 2 patterns for $three.ninety nine every (together with a vogue sample) and it price $15 postage (AUS). These are inclined to have one or two simple apparel patterns and the rest is craft tasks. Most are from the 50's and 60's and are pretty effectively worn however I was pondering of attempting to promote a few of them.
After studying all the comments I'm learning that the patterns I believed had been principally obtainable worldwide is probably not. It really suprises me that Simplicity usually are not accessible in Canada. That reduces a Vogue to about 6ukp so is well worth it. Cannot remember what the membership prices nevertheless it definitely pays for itself after two or three patterns. I took a house ec. class and so excitedly selected a full skirt sample that might twirl straight out for me after I'd dance around. I've never sewn any garment from a magazine or guide, but I've tempted to get some Burda patterns this fashion.
The explanation I am asking is that after my last publish I used to be going to recommend some good primary patterns which can be quite good to fit and hopefully easy to adapt into completely different styles. I do not thoughts paying more for a sample of high quality, especially for something like a totally lined coat or something that's extra advanced. For envelope patterns (Vogue, McCalls, Butterick, Simplicity, New Look, & Burda) we pay between ZAR 80 – ZAR one hundred twenty. They do have occasional 15{0fd0ce1215de9ed498eb4652386846d1705a82e31a71fe85b29bdfdbe6823732} sales particularly on the end of the season and an occasional single sample or category on deeper discount. My favourite patterns are actually Style Arc as I just have to chop them out and make them up. They're fashionable and updated – and simply over the ditch so postage is not quite the problem. Sample magazines including traceable patterns are available in each grocery store and every bookstore.

There may be a way to bet on Facebook in the public markets within the next three years whether the social network IPOs on schedule or not.
Digital Sky Technologies CEO Yuri Milner, whose firm yesterday announced it would acquire 1.96% of Facebook for $200 million, told Russian news site Slon.ru DST will IPO within the next three years.
Мы не собираемся продавать российские активы. Наша модель – это вывод холдинговой компании на IPO, я имею в виду IPO самой Digital Sky Technologies. Сроки IPO зависят от состояния мировых рынков и от готовности Digital Sky Technologies к этому событию. Думаю, это случится в течение ближайших трех лет.
And a rough Google translation:

After leading the Southern California Athletic Conference (SCAC) for several weeks, Colorado College men's soccer took a step back in their last four games, with two wins and two losses. Most recently, the team traveled to Texas to face Trinity University and Schreiner University. The Tigers find themselves third in the SCAC but have some breathing room with two more wins than No. 4 team Texas Lutheran University.
CC faced their highest-ranked opponent thus far on Sept. 21, visiting No. 9 Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. The Tigers walked away with a 5–2 loss. The five goals allowed by the Tiger defense marked the first time the Tigers had allowed more than one in a conference game this year.
Trinity started off strong with a goal in the fifth minute of the game, and constant substitution kept the Trinity attackmen fresh for all 90 minutes. Their sustained pressure on the net led to two more goals in the 58th and 64th minutes.
The Tigers were able to claw back with two rapid goals from midfielder Skyler Stark-Ragsdale '22 in the 79th and 80th minutes. The scores were assisted by midfielder Miles Montgomery '21 and defender Keenan Amer '18.
Captain defender Henry Schuler '19 emphasized the importance of the team's effort. "Despite the loss, we did well to get ourselves back into the game," Schuler said. "We went down a few goals but fought hard to get a couple back and give ourselves a chance to get something from the game. But there were a couple of moments where we made uncharacteristic mistakes defensively, and against a good team like that, mistakes don't go unpunished."
The goals, scored 80 seconds apart, created a great opportunity for a comeback, but after another four minutes of action, Trinity struck again. The score was fueled by the fact that Trinity made 10 substitutions to bring their starters back in after taking all of them out.
Trinity scored a final goal with four minutes remaining, securing the 5-2 victory for the hosting team. The high-powered Trinity offense put up 24 shots, with 10 on target. The Tigers just couldn't keep up with the constant barrage, taking seven shots and only placing three on target. The win put Trinity at 6–0–1 on the season and dropped the Tigers to 4–2 overall and 5–3 in conference.
Two days later, the Tigers traveled to Schreiner. The Tigers easily made up for their loss two days prior and completely dominated their hosts on the way to a 3–0 victory. CC put up 20 total shots and held Schreiner to only two.
"Against Schreiner, we dominated the entire game but didn't produce enough offensively in the first half," Schuler said. "But when it finally clicked for us, the goals came pretty easily. We are happy with the result but would like to score some of those goals earlier in games."
Stark-Ragsdale struck once again, scoring with 15 minutes remaining in the match. His third goal of the season proved to be all the Tigers would need, but insurance was provided through a Schreiner own goal in the 87th, and, only minutes later midfielder Robert Malone '19 tucked a curving shot into the lower left corner of the net.
The win was especially important for the Tigers because they had been on a two-game losing streak. "It was a tough weekend of games so in practice we'll be mostly focusing on getting ourselves fresh for next weekend," Schuler said. "We will work on perfecting our defensive shape and getting sharper and more precise in attack. Looking forward to the games against Centenary and East Texas, we expect to keep two clean sheets and to score some goals early on in the games."
The team will travel to both of those games, first to Centenary College on Sept. 28 and then to East Texas Baptist University on Sept. 30.

BAC is accepting panelists to serve on the 2020 Brooklyn Arts Fund, Local Arts Support, and Charlene Victor & Ella J. Weiss Cultural Entrepreneur Fund panels until October 1, 2019.
BAC Grants funding decisions are made by process of peer review. All panels are selected, trained and administered by BAC staff.
BAC panelists are experienced cultural professionals with a commitment to the development of the arts and culture in Brooklyn. Knowledge of Brooklyn communities, and expertise in an artistic discipline, arts administration, or community arts programming are key.
BAC strives to create a fair and impartial panel environment that is representative of the diversity of the borough, and therefore seeks to craft panels that are diverse in terms of ethnicity, gender, age, culture, geographic representation, and artistic focus.
Panelists receive an online panel packet that includes applications to review, a panel handbook and other required paperwork.
Panelists review and pre-evaluate each application prior to their deliberation meeting, where they are guided through three rounds of discussion prior to settling on a complete awardee list.
Panel meetings occur from Mid-November– December. BAC hosts between 13 – 15 panel meetings a year, and can recruit up to 65 volunteer panelists, depending on number of applications.
Panelists are required to:
Panel service requires a 15-30 hour commitment, and a modest honorarium of $75-150 is provided (each dependent on the number of applications).
BAC solicits panelist nominations from the Brooklyn arts community on an ongoing basis. If you would like to nominate yourself, or another community leader or arts professional whom you believe would be a valuable addition to a BAC panel, you are welcome to apply.
Because of the need to form well-balanced panels, we may not be able to consider all the qualified people who are nominated. However, it is very helpful to have a pool of candidates for future years.

SEO In 2013 – What Does A Safe Anchor Text Profile Look Like? [guest post]
- Post published on 26 Mar 2013 by John Vlasakakis
With the current buzz around the SEO world about the next Google Penguin update which Matt Cutts has mentioned will be one the most talked about updates in 2013. A lot of SEO specialists have asked what an anchor text profile should like. Below is a tried and tested anchor text profile which is safe not only for this next Penguin Update but for all other updates to come.
But first it is important to understand what an unnatural profile looks like
For a website to trigger this penalty one of two things will have happened, the site has a very bad ratio of backlinks heavily focused around a keyword of phrase, or the site had links from very unnatural sources. Most websites get penalised because of over optimisation.
Over optimisation occurs when websites are too focused on one keyword. For example many SEO companies have been penalised because the backlinks to the site are focused on one keyword, eg-SEO, if the anchor text distribution for an SEO domain is 25% on the keyword SEO and other phrases including SEO in it then it is clear that the site is not acquiring natural links.
What A Natural Profile Looks Like?
A natural anchor text profile should not be heavily focused around keywords but rather mention the brand name, for example my SEO company GMG SEO, or link to your site with the URL www.example.com
If the majority of your links come brand or URL mention is shows Google you are an authority for your niche. The exact match keyword you are trying to rank for should never be more than 15% of your total backlinks. The content around your link is what is going to determine what your site should rank for going forward, this is known as co-citation link building and it is vital for SEO in 2013.
The below pie chart shows a natural profile.
The key thing to remember with SEO is that it is a long term strategy don't cut corners. Acquire links from diverse sources and diversify your backlinks to last for many years to come.

European Commission Vice President Andrus Ansip has spoken at the RSA Conference 2018 about Russia's ongoing campaign to weaponise information.
The 2018 RSA Conference is being held this week in San Francisco, USA, and gathers together public and private stakeholders to discuss the current state of cybersecurity around the world. Russia's efforts to weaponise information are thought to have impacted the 2016 US Presidential Election, and are suspected to be ongoing, meaning that the topic has been widely discussed at the event.
Ansip highlighted an incident which happened in 2007, when he was prime minister of Estonia, as a means of demonstrating the scale and history of such attacks, as well as to illustrate the lessons he learned from the incident which can be applied to contemporary incidents.
He explained: "In 2007, cyber-attacks were used as a weapon to achieve political goals. Since then… malicious cyber-activity has proliferated. It has become more brazen and sophisticated, more imaginative and international. Misinformation is another widely used tool of political influence."
How does this relate to Russia?
While Ansip did not directly accuse Russia of carrying out the 2007 cyberattack, he emphasised that the country has remained at the forefront of cyber warfare, and suggested that the country views cyber operations as a legitimate element of information warfare.
Ansip added: "In Russia, for example, military doctrine sees cyber operations as part of its tactics for information warfare. Deception, false data, and destabilising propaganda are deemed legitimate tools to convince people to 'buy' the disinformation message as credible information."
What is the EU doing to combat this?
Repeated attempts to weaponise information and spread misinformation by numerous parties led to the creation of a special team in 2015, which was designed to respond in particular to Russian efforts in this area. In the first two years of its operation, the team found over 3,500 examples of misinformation that contradicted publicly available facts.
Ansip also praised US-EU collaboration on combating the threat of cyberattacks, but warned that greater enforcement mechanisms are needed, and greater penalties should be introduced for those who do not obey the law.
He concluded: "Digital innovation should not be abused… The perpetrators are operating on a global and daily basis, and that is not about to change. We have to fight it together – to prevent, deter and respond. Constant vigilance and cooperation. But it is not only about defeating threats. There is a lot to be positive about, especially when we work together."

Wills, Trusts and Estate Planning
Estate Planning, Will and Testament Lawyer in Atlanta, GA
Everyone has an estate. Some are large, and some are small, but if you have anything at all, you have an estate and you should be making plans for it.
Your estate is made up of anything you own – your car, your house, the money in your bank account, life insurance policies, jewelry, personal affects…just about any and everything you can think of. And while we'd all like to avoid the eventuality of death, we owe it to ourselves and our families to begin thinking of how best to distribute our assets.
Estate planning isn't limited to who gets what in a will; it's a plan for all your end of life (or at the time of incapacitation) designations. Estate plans provide clear instructions as to who will take care of your children and ensure that your debts are paid; it provides plans for all of your assets and business, thereby preventing family disputes. Take control of your future and the people and passions that have shaped your life. You have, after all, spent your entire life working hard to obtain them, you should be able to determine who gets them in your absence. To ensure that your wishes are carried out, you must plan now for that inevitable day, and provide written instructions to pass on to your loved ones.

Don't Just Comply with CMS's Price Transparency Rule
Choose a solution that engages patients to power growth
Ask your patients. They'll tell you. They want to know how much their care will cost. That's it. They don't need a list of prices from your chargemaster. They want to know how much their knee replacement is going to cost, what insurance will cover, and what they'll need to pay themselves. Anything less and you're falling far short of patient expectations.
The right long-term answer for providers that want their price transparency solution to be a long-term strategic asset is end-to-end Patient Financial Engagement.
