Director of Instruction
Fisher Bryan Golf Academy at Longbow Golf Club
Mesa, AZ
There is a great divide in the world of golf instruction over the use of technology. Some say that things like launch monitors and pressure mats are the answer to all of our prayers. Others argue that the use of these tools robs a player of feel and artistry and is ruining a generation of players. I would tell you that the truth lies somewhere in between.
The problem I see is that there needs to be art mixed with the science. Those who want to use only art, or old school teachers as they are sometimes called, leave out the benefit that technology can bring them. Those who use only technology, new school teachers, often have a hard time translating the numbers a machine spits out into improvement in their players. Add to that the preference a student may have in regards to the use of technology and it is no wonder golfers have a hard time getting better.
I am here to tell you that as a student you should not be afraid of technology in the hands of a good instructor. A main reason is that the use of a launch monitor can identify exactly what is happening in your swing and with your club and allow a good instructor to get right to work. Plans for improvement can be set more quickly and you have something to measure against to see how much change is actually happening.
As a student, technology can actually help you create feel. Say for instance your instructor tells you that your club path was too far to the right. You immediately know what too far to the right feels like because you just did it. Now you can go about swinging more to the left and your coach, with the help of the launch monitor, can tell you exactly how much change you have made. Say for instance you feel like you exaggerated the move to swing more left but the machine says you only moved two degrees. Now you know you need to go even further. The technology has just helped you create feel.
Improvements in technology in any are of our lives can be good and bad depending on what hands you put them in. The internet itself has made life much easier, but in the hands of the wrong people can also make life quite hazardous. Golf is no different. Find the right coach, with the right tools, and your game will improve.

Nicholas Deakins were established in 1991, and from those small beginnings in Leeds, the company has built an unparalleled reputation based on innovative, original design and quality manufacture. The inspiration behind the brand was born from a need to get into clubs that didn't allow trainers! That led to them thinking about creating a fresh item of footwear combining the past with the present. That in turn led to their instantly recognisable quilted-effect footwear range, many of which are shown here.

Hail Netting
It seems like hail storms have become more frequent than in years past, news reports of crops, cars and houses being damaged seem to be regular occurrences.
The statistics support this: for the last 40 years, Perth has averaged 1.3 hail storms per year. However, we have 7 in the last 3 years alone.
Hail nets can mitigate this risk and the associated costs and Commercial Netmakers can help.
Hail net have a main mesh plus strands of monofilament that stretch across the apertures of the main mesh and reduce the hole size. The strands of monofilament are known as cross-stitches. Cross stitched nets have a major advantage – the hole size of a large mesh net can be reduced without adding too much weight or excessively reducing light transmission through the net. In areas where hail storms are less regular, flat canopies are used. The net catches the hail and stops it damaging the crop. With this design the net gives under the weight of the hail and stretches (usually returning to tension after the hail has melted). The cable holding the nets are positioned over the tree rows and the nets sag into the inter-row space between tree rows, thus minimising damage to trees.

The United States of America, according to recent university rankings, has emerged as a leading country known for its quality education. It is called the Holy Grail of international higher education. The country has, somewhat, a special allure and has always been drawing talented students like a magnet. Studying in an American environment allows for invaluable personal and professional growth, and opens up an infinite number of career opportunities after graduation.
One of the main reasons to choose the United States to study is the country's reputation for renowned higher-education programs. In the said country, approximately fifty percent of the world's top 50 universities are located. They consist of small class sizes, highly accredited professors, and advanced technology and research capabilities.
The United States is considered as the leader in many areas of technology and research, also benefitting from generous funding and offering support to international Ph.D. students. Even undergraduates and postgraduates have the opportunity to attend a Bachelor's and Master's program that involves research.
Apart from studies, University campuses in the United States have a life of their own, and they are like small student towns and encouraging students to socialize, interact, and make friends. America also has a multicultural environment, and American universities support cultural diversity, and in this respect, organize various social and cultural activities. Graduating from an American University also offers a competitive edge once you enter the job market. Interacting with people with diverse backgrounds while studying in the USA enhance one's ability to interact with people from other cultures and analyze issues with a global perspective.
The university or college that one chooses to go to can have a significant impact on the rest of one's life that's why it is better to have some research about the universities and their rankings.
In the United States, California is the most represented state among the best US universities, with 15 universities, followed by 13 universities in New York, 12 universities in Texas and ten universities in Massachusetts. The institutions at the very top of the ranking are concentrated in these aforementioned popular destinations that are well known for their higher education opportunities.
According to the QS World University Rankings 2019, following are the top 15 universities in the United States:
The United States of America has always been a top choice destination for study abroad students from around the world because of its diverse programs offered by different universities. According to Istudentglobal's research, the top 10 most popular majors in the United States are as follows:
The United States offers some of the best undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in the world, but also potentially high living costs one should know.
Though, living costs in the United States vary a lot because of the large territory the country covers but estimated the living cost for the US is around $10000 to $12000 per year, which averages around $700 to $1000 per month. It includes accommodation costs, travel, food, textbooks, weather-appropriate clothing, and entertainment expenses as well. Generally, living in urban areas (in or near a big city) is more expensive than living in smaller towns or suburban areas. Students should be able to meet the costs mentioned above while they are studying in the US. Prices may increase by about 5% to 7% per year due to inflation and other external factors.
In the United States, campus jobs are customized in such a manner that they adhere to all the visa guidelines. These jobs are regarded as a path to earn extra cash and interact with all the Students. In a sense, part-time jobs give students a complete experience of the student culture and life prevalent in the country. Following are the ten most popular on-campus jobs that a student can take up at American universities:

The group's name was ESG, and in 1980s New York, its sound took the downtown scene by storm. Rubbing shoulders with similarly minded disco-not-disco peers, ESG's playfully aggressive singles "Moody," "UFO," and "Dance" have since become staple sample fodder for generations of house and hip-hop producers. Along the way, its tracks have slipped into the sets of DJs from Larry Levan to James Murphy.

Urgent call for short break carers
Local woman Judi Gibbons, who provides short break care for children with disabilities, is lending her support to Kirklees Council's drive to encourage others to take up the essential role.
Originally from Mexborough in South Yorkshire, 54-year-old Judi, has been looking after children with complex medical needs for 12 years, giving birth parents a much-needed break from caring. This can range from a couple of nights a week, a weekend or a week or two during the school holidays.
Commenting on her role as a short break carer for Kirklees Council Judi said: "I used to be a nursery nurse for children with special needs so I already had a lot of experience in this field.

Found yet another post on Addiction Flower Evolution Collection with swatches via Cosme.net.
Looks like Eyeshadow 112 Flower Evolution and 117 My Darling are both base/highlighters after all. Oh well. Will skip both in favor of just the Lipstick Sheers. I have too many base and highlighters already.
Update Thursday, January 5, 2917.
Another reader, dee, has kindly pointed me to a Taiwanese blogger's entry with awesome swatches of all 6 Suqqu eye palettes and 5 Extra Glow Lipsticks! Hooray! Thank you, dee!
Original post.
Been very frustrated with the lack of swatches and previews for the upcoming Spring 2017 releases from Addiction, Lunasol, and Suqqu. Come on, interweb! May be I'm looking at all the wrong places?
Suqqu JP.
Check out Instagrammer sharonrulala for photos of all 6 eye palettes and 5 lippies with some swatches and videos. More swatches of 02 光橙花 (Hikaritouka) and 101 純桜色 (Sumizakurairo).
More indoor photos but no swatches here and here.
On my buy list are Extra Glow Lipsticks 12 百合橙 (Yuridaidai) and 13 冴薊 (Saeazami). I'm interested in 01 優芍薬 (Yuushakuyaku), 04 絢撫子 (Ayanadeshiko), and 05 蒼雫 (Aoshizuku) but would like to see swatches first. They look pigmented, but who knows.
Anything catches your fancy?

Using mobile cleaning carts is an excellent way to implement a convenient routine cleaning. The flexibility and manoeuverability of cleaning carts make them an ideal component for a maintenance schedule in any facility. Using a cleaning cart that is most appropriate for your cleaning needs will optimize practicality. The cleaning cart is an efficient, self-contained cleaning system and is especially applicable for cleaning washrooms, shower areas, trash areas, foodservice areas and much more. Some cleaning carts provide sanitization options as well as clean water rinsing and foaming nozzles.
No-Touch Washroom Cleaning
A recent article by restaurant and foodservice news indicates that patrons will base their decision to return to a restaurant on whether or not they had a positive impression of washroom cleanliness. They will even go as far as persuading others from entering the establishment as many people use washroom cleanliness as an indication for kitchen cleanliness. What's more, the requirement for washroom maintenance cleaning increases during peak periods when staff is less available. Since touchless cleaning such as integrated cleaning systems are compact, easy to use, and effective for both large and small areas, they are an ideal component of routine cleaning programs especially during peak business hours when time is of the essence. Touchless cleaning also completely eliminates employee contact with germs.
Labour Savings
The use of a mobile, no-touch cleaning system will increase productivity compared to conventional cleaning methods. On average it takes three minutes to clean a restroom unit. Using a compact cleaning cart with cut that time by half, leaving surfaces clean and germ-free.
There will also be significant cost reductions due to accurate chemical dilutions thereby minimizing waste.
The compact quality of mobile cleaning cart favours organization. Being organized is an essential component of minimizing costs and improving your bottom line. The mobile cleaning cart makes organization a natural part of a routine cleaning.
Mobi-Maxx is a compact cleaning cart especially designed for smaller areas such as restrooms, showers, equipment rooms, trash areas, educational facilities, supermarkets and much more. Using Mobi-Maxx is not only ideal for saving time and money, but also for saving storage space. The compact cart also contains sanitation compartment and low pressure clean rinsing. Integrated storage space is perfect for accommodating extra chemical, cleaning supplies, or even a wet dry vac.
The convenience of a mobile cleaning cart, like Mobi-Maxx, is its versatility and practicality for both large and small spaces. Cleaning cannot fall through the cracks on a busy day when it is needed most. Mobi-Maxx ensures that cleaning is always a priority and that your building is well represented to customers. Quality of cleanliness in your facility should never be compromised, no matter the size of your business.

Zoroark is a pokémon from Pokemon White and Black Versions as a Dark type Pokémon
To be added
In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U
Zoroark will appear in Super Smash Bros. (Wii U and 3DS) as a Poke Ball Pokémon. This creature attacks rivals like lightning with Fury Swipes. Zoroark finishes off by slamming its opponent down to the ground.
Trophy Description
This Dark-type Pokémon will protect its home and anyone it cherishes by creating illusions to fluster opponents. When it uses Fury Swipes, it will vanish from view and then suddenly appear next to its targets, launching them upward. It will then finish them off by sending them crashing back down.
- The way Zoroark attacks opponents is quite similar to Greninja's Final Smash, Secret Ninja Attack.
- Zoroark's trophy in Super Smash Bros. For Wii U is in the "Legend of Pokemon Black & Pokemon White" Trophy Box and it can come out of a Master Ball despite the fact that he is not a Legendary Pokémon

Hi folks,
the hosting player is at an advantage over everyone who joins, especially over those with high pings. I experience this every time as I connect from Germany to the devs' games hosted in Canada, with a ping of around 200 ms.
The goal of this thread is to discuss whether this is an issue worth fixing, and if so, what solution to go for.
Current implementation: Skill assignments are delayed according to the ping to the server. Thus, the host's assignments trigger instantly, whereas the joiner's assignments take some time until they trigger. This is true both for regular assignments as it is for queued ones.
However, validity of the assignment is checked immediately, whereas the assignment itself (queue or direct) will be delayed as just explained.
There are maneuvers that can't be carried out by a joiner with a somewhat high ping. Imagine two walls close to each other, and you wish to gulp-up through them. The distance between the walls will cancel the gulper, and the walk time is shorter than the ping. With a higher ping, you cannot reassign gulper quickly enough. You can't even queue it ahead of the time, since you can't queue gulper to gulper (which is checked immediately without delay), not even when you do it late enough so that the assignment would be delayed to the proper time!
Besides all this, it's obvious that the host is at an advantage just for getting more time to react. This issue gets more severe when players get stronger, since there are much more events that need attention and quick reaction.
Solution with latency: All players' assignments get delayed by the same time, which is the maximum of all pings of the active players. Also, the validation of assignments should occur at the same time as the actual assignment, not at the instant of pressing the morph key. IIRC this is how Starcraft 1 works.
Solution with backtracking: All assignments are carried out immediately, and other players have to go back in time and recalculate. This makes the assigned clone jump a bit on their screen. I use this in Lix (L++), where pixel precision is perceived to be even more important than in Clones. Players felt that this was a major advantage over previous methods to play Lemmings over the net, which are Snes and Genesis emulators. Obvious cosmetic disadvantage: The jump of the assigned lix is noticable, but it's not that large, except when the given skill was Jumper.

Dramatic Behavior Changes in Toddlers
"Normal" behavior in toddlers varies from one child to another. Some children are shy and others never met a stranger. Most have at least an occasional temper tantrum or melt down when tired. The increasingly independent toddler uses the word "no" rather frequently and may be defiant when you say it to him. The toddler years are a time of major changes, emotionally, physically and socially, but you should see gradual change, not a sudden about-face.
Nightmares and Aggressive Behavior
An occasional bad dream isn't unusual, but severe nightmares several times a week are not the norm in toddlers. Any child can have an occasional bad day, but if your relatively levelheaded 3 year old is suddenly furiously angry for no obvious reason or begins biting and hitting, odds are there's something going on. Unfortunately, dramatic behavior changes often occur for some not-so-good reasons. Traumatic stress or physical or sexual abuse can cause abrupt behavior changes in toddlers. If your child suddenly starts acting extremely differently, talk to your pediatrician or family doctor.
Humans react to stressful situations with the "fight or flight" response. Toddlers in a bad situation can feel totally helpless and unable to deal with the physical and emotional reactions except by acting out, becoming irritable or fussy or developing sleep problems, according to the National Child Traumatic Stress Network. A stressed toddler may regress -- she goes back to baby talk, forgets anything she's learned about potty training or becomes clingy and whiny. These sorts of behaviors are especially likely to occur after a life-threatening occurrence, like a bad auto accident.
Child abuse can cause behavior changes in children, and these behaviors can persist even after the child is in a safe, loving and stable situation. Abuse actually causes changes in the child's brain, according to an article in the September 2008 issue of "Pediatrics," especially if the abuse happens during the early years when so much brain development occurs. Children who are abused may withdraw and be unwilling to respond to friendly overtures as a healthy toddler would. Abuse may also cause sleeping problems, anxiety, aggressive behavior or violence toward people or animals.
Sexual Abuse
Sexual abuse, like physical or emotional abuse, can result in behavior problems for toddlers. This is one sort of abuse where the behavior change can literally occur overnight, and parents should consider the behavior a red flag, especially if the toddler suddenly develops an aversion to a particular person, such as a babysitter or relative. A toddler who has been sexually abused may develop any of the signs of stress, such as baby talking or whining. In addition, she may start to complain about pains in the stomach or genitals, or become preoccupied with her body parts. She may suddenly start "playing doctor" with other children.
Trust Your Instincts
You are the best authority on your toddler's behavior. If she is normally a shy, quiet child -- shy and quiet are relative terms with a toddler -- who suddenly becomes mouthy and aggressive, it may just be a developmental stage. If your life-of-the-party toddler abruptly withdraws from the party, there may be a reason other than being tired of the social whirl. Pay attention to that little voice in your head and consult with your doctor, especially if the changes continue or get worse.

Or they could, I suppose, if anyone thought Passover a sexy holiday, which would make for an interesting discussion that we will never have.
Let's start with this.
(1) "Harmless" erectile dysfunction treatment associated with melanoma
No more Viagra for you son. And Laura Berman, a famous sex therapist who has at least one clinic to treat women with sexual intimacy problems, will have to put her prescriptions on hold, rewrite one of her books, too. The results of a new study indicate that penile enhancement medication, also used for female sexual arousal, is linked to one of our worst cancers ever, melanoma.
When I was young there was a song, Nature's Way. Spirit, sings the soulful, ominous warning.
It's nature's way of telling you dying trees,
It's nature's way of telling you soon we'll freeze.
We froze east of the Mason-Dixon line, and to the west, too, last winter. Or shvitzed.
Hearing the association between ED drugs and melanoma I'm humming the song again, seemingly out of nowhere (that's how the brain works, people). We could look at our bodies, and our psychology, as one of nature's finest, most exquisite creations, capable of incredibly creative ideas, achievements. And we think nothing of messing with them.
A chunk of my patient demographic, people in their thirties and forties, barely middle age (forties are the new thirties, thirties the new twenties), impatient with therapy (or in denial) ask their primary care doctors for Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra, etc., penile enhancement drugs. Before this new study the docs couldn't say with certainty: The drugs are bad for you. Work on your relationships. As long as blood pressure and heart rate were relatively strong, they caved. So now they can say that. The drugs are bad.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is nature's way of telling you something's wrong, probably with a relationship or an understanding of sexual relationships. Or the mechanics of sex. The most common cause of ED is anxiety, not only performance anxiety, but any kind of anxiety, and often, guilt. And anger.
Melanoma tells us something's wrong with the pharma treatment, too. The problem, if it is not vascular, is psychological or educational. ED drugs treat a symptom. They are a bad idea, the wrong way to treat the problem, if it even is one.
We can discuss the right way another time. I've got to get ready for next week's holiday.
(2) The Holiday Blues
Everyone knows that during the holidays, especially the first ones after the loss of a loved one, we're more vulnerable to depression. Just when we're supposed to be happy, a brick falls on our heads. There's no denying it. We remember faces sitting around the table, singing songs, smiling. These are good memories, and when we think about it, surely a blessing, a good opportunity to add to the positive memories, the legacy, of people who made such a difference in our lives.
Of course, if I believed that, it would be a sign I'm not a therapist.
In fact, the stress of the holidays, the togetherness, brings on bad memories often, and the worst in people, especially if more alcohol is consumed than usual. The legacy memories, for many of us, aren't always good.
But for some of us they are.
Good or bad, the mental deluge, the stimulation of anniversaries, always has an effect. Great stuff to talk about at parties. (See video link below).
For me, being busy before a holiday also implies cooking and baking, happy busy which is productive, too. In this creative process, inordinate amounts of time are spent trying to remember the things my mother cooked and baked, reading over her recipes, tattered, but written in her beautiful cursive script, soon to be extinct, oil and batter stained (not her fault). I experiment like she did, write it all down. On a computer, obviously. Who has a index cards? I envy those of you who do.
Passover, one of the biggies when it comes to stress, is upon us. The office is closed for 8 days. You will see us at the zoo and the museums, sprung from the drudgery of everyday life.
But if you want to know what this holiday is really all about, you eat matzah. (These we buy at the store, hardly anyone makes them anymore, the rules of baking proper Passover matzah are too complicated.). No matter how ad agencies might make it sound, the stuff is nearly indigestible without lots of butter.
Matzah is the Passover food because it is difficult to digest, unleavened, no yeast allowed, the quintessential symbolic food of modesty. This is a low food, a symbol that reduces us to tears (let's not go that far) by the end of the week. The idea is to get the leaven out of our hearts, recognize it really isn't all about us, and that we're not the ones to thank for our successes, can quit patting ourselves on the back. After all, only a few thousand years ago we were slaves in Egypt, enslaved for a long time, over 400 years. We couldn't have got out on our own. Passover celebrates freedom from slavery and the Creator who made it happen in spectacular fashion. (The story is mind-blowing, as Cecil B. DeMille rightly tells it in The Ten Commandments.
All that to link over to an irreverent video that made me smile. Sean Altman sent this pitch:
I follow your blog. Please enjoy my REAL story of Passover — JEWMONGOUS' new music video "They Tried To Kill Us (We Survived, Let's Eat)" http://youtu.be/
Yours, Sean Altman
Ex-Rockapella star Sean Altman's comedy song concert JEWMONGOUS is "tuneful and sharply witty" (Los Angeles Times), "relentlessly clever" (Chicago Tribune) and "bawdy with a wicked modern streak" (Washington Post), combining "the tunefulness of the Beatles and the spot-on wit of Tom Lehrer" (Boston Globe). Altman, who "writes hilarious and irreverent acoustic rock songs about his awakening Jewish awareness" (Jerusalem Post), is "part of a new breed of Jewish hipster comedy that includes Jon Stewart, Sacha Baron Cohen, Sarah Silverman and Heeb Magazine" (Philadelphia Daily News). He is a former, founding member of Rockapella and led that pioneering vocal group through its heyday years on the Emmy-winning PBS-TV series, Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?, for which Altman co-wrote the famous theme song. His classic Passover song "They Tried To Kill Us (We Survived, Let's Eat)" has been featured on NPR's Fresh Air with Terry Gross. Altman has twice performed at the White House Chanukah party for the President, he has shared the stage with Billy Joel, Joey Ramone, Jay Leno, Whoopi Goldberg, Spike Lee, Jonathan Winters and They Might Be Giants, recorded with XTC and Richie Havens, and he performs vocal standards at the bedside of hospital patients as a volunteer with Musicians On Call. Altman has performed JEWMONGOUS throughout the USA, Europe, Israel and once in China. www.jewmongous.com
There you go. Not how it happens in most homes, but funny.
Oh, and the Passover Brownie recipe.
Oh, and the Passover Brownie recipe.
Pesach (Passover) Brownies, Gebrukst (for non-gebrukst add potato starch, not cake meal)
1 cup Mothers unsalted margarine melted (yes, the brand matters, use Mothers with proper Passover certification)
Melt into the margarine with 3/4 package chocolate chips
Let cool 5 -10 min
In the mixer beat
2 eggs
1.5 cups sugar
Add margarine/chocolate
Add 1 pkgs ground walnuts (6 oz) and 1/4 cup cake meal*
Bake in a 9 x 12 pan at 350 for 30 min. Test with a toothpick.
When they are dry, let them cool down then freeze for 30 min before cutting. Or just eat them.
Happy Holidays, friends.
*Cake meal is very finely ground matzah, a truly humbling baking substitute for the fine flour we use all year round.

Ah one of the joys of country living is line-dried laundry. We had clothes lines in town too and I used it often. The younger neighbours gave funny looks when I did, I'm not sure if it was because I was using the line or if they didn't know what it was for or maybe it was the apron and boots. Whatever the case they just didn't seem to get it. The older neighbours seemed to enjoy seeing someone use the old line again.
I am quite surprised there isn't one at the farm already. You can bet I will be installing one. For now some line between trees will work just as well. When the days are nice I hate the idea of using the dryer. It just doesn't make sense. "Way back when" grandma said they hung the clothes out year round. In the winter they would freeze stiff and then be brought to thaw and drip dry by the wood stove. I don't have the necessity or feel the need to go that far, however on nice winter days I will hang the blankets out to freshen them up a little.
Towels and blue jeans always seem extra crunchy off the line. I don't mind it, though I'm not sure the rest of the family feels the same way. The midwife brought up a good point, line dried towels are a great for exfoliating.
The first nights sleep on sheets that have been washed and hung on the line to dry always seems like the best night of sleep. I don't know if its the fresh sheets or the fact the it's Saturday or Sunday night after a full weekend of long days working. Whatever the case, I like it.
There are a few down falls to drying laundry outside.
-The collection of pollen- during high pollen times of the season fresh sheets can be not so great with allergies.
– Wet dogs – when the dogs come back from falling in the slough or the lake (one of ours must fall because he doesn't like to swim) and shake, of course they need to do it by the clothes line.
– Wind- This is both good; it dries things much faster, and bad; it can blow things off the line which may or may not end up needing re-washing.
-Bird shit- needs no explanation.
Even with the few minor mishaps, I would much rather use the clothes line.

Stewardship is one of our core values at One Village Coffee. It can be defined as actively protecting or being responsible for something. For us, choosing a compostable bag was one way of being stewards of our earth and future generations of coffee drinkers.
To compost our bag:
- Cut out the degassing valve and resealable zipper
- Throw the bag in your compost bin
- Pull out the remaining layer after 60-90 days and throw away - this layer will decompose over time
Don't forget to compost these other coffee items:
- Coffee grounds
- Coffee filters (if applicable)
- Coffee chaff (if you roast)
Join us in our stewardship campaign #ovcstewards and compost away!

text: The hand and footprints of keepers and animals were collected on canvasses today as a pledge for the wild as Taronga announced an in situ conservation project for elephants in Thailand.Encouraged by their keepers, animals including an elephant, a Quokka, a seal and a Fiordland Penguin, dipped their feet and flippers into animal-friendly paint, and smudged their prints onto canvasses, creating a powerful signature for the wild to inspire conservation action by people.Over the past weeks keepers have been collecting the paw, hand, flipper and hoof-prints of some of the 4000 animals at Taronga and Taronga Western Plains Zoos before today's announcement of Taronga's commitment to an elephant protection project in Thailand's Kui Buri National Park.Taronga is helping fund the $100,000 construction and maintenance project for two guard stations at key locations in a chain of outposts on the park's border to help prevent elephant-human conflict, in a joint program with Zoos Victoria.Taronga Zoo Director, Cameron Kerr, said: "We've chosen this day to announce our latest conservation project for the wild, to coincide with enlisting our staff and the animals in their care as ambassadors for wild creatures. By letting them make their mark, we're visually signifying Taronga's commitment to wildlife conservation and we hope all our visitors and supporters will join us in this pledge.""A lot of people don't realise the critical role modern zoos have, as a zoo visitor sees what is really just the tip of the iceberg of what we do for wild animals. We really are 'For the Wild' and we'd like people to join us in this pledge.""Without zoos, animals like critically endangered Sumatran Tigers and Corroboree Frogs might be extinct, little would be known about animals like the elusive Leopard Seal, generations of children would've missed the chance see, smell and be inspired by wildlife and important research like cyro-preserving the coral of the Great Barrier Reef would not be carried out.""Ultimately, we hope that our animals will one day thrive in the wild. But the reality is, due to humans, the 'wild' is a very fragmented and dangerous place for many living creatures.""Until the threats of habitat destruction, poachers and disease are minimised, Taronga is here as a home, school, nursery, a dating and mating service and importantly a safety-net because, simply put, we're for the wild.""Collecting the prints has been a fun project for many of us across the Zoo. Animals like our Fiordland Penguin, Mr. Munro, happily jumped and skidded across the canvas, others like our seals were trained to make their mark and it was surprising how some of the animal prints challenged preconceived ideas of what you think they'd look like," said Cameron.Placing the footprint of Pak Boon, our 3010 kg female elephant next to the fingernail-sized print of a tiny Feathertail Glider, the world's smallest gliding mammal, was a unique and humbling way of seeing the incredible diversity of the animals we care for.""This Sunday, we're also asking our visitors and supporters to make their mark for wildlife by either adding their hand print to canvasses in the Zoos' free-entry Main Plaza or by jumping online to pledge their support."

Another month means another peek at a GLOSSYBOX. I've been reviewing these for quite sometime and somehow, it appears that GLOSSYBOX seems to be one of the few beauty subscription boxes that is still a truckin'. The hype has died down for many, but lé gloss is still giving us gorgeous pickings for a smooth $21/month. I received this sample box a week or so ago and as always, the goal is to make sure that the samples provided are worth at least $20 or so. Aaaaand that they give a nice range of products.
At first glance, nothing stood out to me which was a bit sad as I always look forward to the Ohh La La factor that I get from a GLOSSYBOX.
As always, we've got 5 samples and that includes the following:
A bottle of Ciaté London Paint Pot. I've heard of this brand but haven't ever used any of their nail polishes. I do know that they are on the higher end side of things so it's nice to try a different brand. They regularly retail at $15 a bottle. And the shimmery gold of a shade isn't too bad either.
I've never heard of the brand Aqua Spa but their Relax Body Crème is a nice and thick lotion that I found slathered nicely over my dry skin. The lavender scent is nice, but heavily fragranced for me. A 9oz bottle of this regularly retails for $8.
Helllooooo Bellápierre Cosmetics. Each subscriber got a tube of their Vanilla Pink SUPER Gloss (retails for $24.50) and the cinnamon-y shade, I guess, is a safe shade for everyone. A bit boring for my taste, but I do dig how long it lasts.
It also goes nicely with a brown lip liner.
LA Splash Cosmetics Eyeshadow Sealer/Base is also in the box and outside of getting it in a GLOSSYBOX, you can expect to pay $9 for it. I love a good eyeshadow base but I have never seen one as sheer as LA Splash's. I can't wait to see how this works.
…and lastly there is Caldrea Body Wash. An 11oz bottle of this will run you $18. I am loving the travel sized version of their body wash and the scent seems to be subtle enough to keep headaches at bay.
Once again GLOSSYBOX has given us products than more than go over $20. We've got a little somethin' in the skin, makeup and nails department and I'm actually okay with not seeing anything for hair. Because helloooo…those hair products never worked for my hair type anyway. Another score for GLOSSYBOX. Click here to subscribe. That is an affiliate link so if you click it and purchase, I get a few monies. Not enough to retire, but hey…it's a lil' somethin' somethin'. 😎

I am caught between obligation and dread. Muhammad Ali is dead, and I feel like I'm supposed to write something profound about his passing, but I don't want to. I can't, actually. I'm neither a boxing expert nor a social justice warrior or historian. People much better versed in the importance of Ali can sum this up much better than I can.
It's a problem of too many voices, too much noise: the curse of the internet. If Ali died in his prime great essays would've been forthcoming from Norman Mailer, George Plimpton, and Hunter Thompson. Walter Cronkite would've eulogized The Greatest on the nightly news. Our collective grief would have been channeled through a few shared outlets. That's still somewhat true, but our current outlets lack profundity. Social media allows us all to be Mailer and Cronkite, weighing in on current events in our own artless manner. Whether that's good or bad is beyond me — it just is.
Ali was the last of the "collective experience" champions, the last one whom both boxing fans and the general population tuned in to watch. His career wrapped up just as the sport was moving from broadcast television to premium cable and pay per view. The audience is now limited to those who are willing to pay, but just as we all used to get our news from Cronkite, everyone tuned in when Ali was fighting.
Part of that was that we only had three television stations to choose from so we watched whatever was on, but it was more than that. For kids growing up during the '70s, Ali was part of a trinity of cool that claimed as its other sides Evel Knievel and Fonzie. All were must-see TV, and all were mandatory playground conversation. To not know the amazing thing that they did the night before was to mark oneself a pariah in the twirly slide line.
All three carried themselves with supreme confidence, something that few of us possessed as grade schoolers. Perhaps even fewer of us demonstrate that sort of self-confidence as adults. Their media was neither motorcycles nor boxing gloves but fear. Knievel climbed into that Snake River rocket cycle sure that he was going to die. Ali had to know that Foreman was going to beat his brains out. In at least one very special episode, the Fonz faced up to his fear of admitting that he was wr- wr- wrong. They were catnip for scaredy cat kids trying to navigate the world.
That was the magic of Ali in particular–his ability to navigate the grown-up world without fear. I don't remember ever watching a fight that I wasn't sure he'd win; after all, he was The Champ, The Greatest. On the other hand, some of the adults in my life tuned in just to watch him go down. "Cassius Clay–because that's his name, no matter what he says–is a big mouth. He's always stirring up the niggers. That ain't no champion, that's a troublemaker. I hope Norton murders him. Kenny seems like a good boy, keeps his mouth shut, knows he's a goddamned boxer and not Martin Luther King. You side with the Viet Cong, that's treason. They should've shot that draft dodging traitor."
I'd keep my mouth shut and watch the fight. Ali didn't need help from an eight year-old anyway. He'd climb into the ring no matter what the adults in my life thought, and win or lose he always emerged The Champ.
I wonder sometimes how much the '70s trinity shaped my worldview, Ali in particular. I've never seen the point of flying halfway around the world to shoot at people who haven't done anything to me, for example. Is that just common sense, or did Ali plant that seed?
Inevitably they all let me down. Evel Knievel turned out to be a violent drunk. Fonzie gained weight, grew a beard, and became a shop teacher. Ali? He turned out not to be immortal, the bastard.
Nobody gives a damn about boxing anymore aside from the sport's true fans. It's no longer a metaphor, and our collective experiences now revolve around viral videos — kittens, Chewbacca Mom, whatever. Those who lay claim to the title of "greatest"–Kanye, for example–not only can't back it up but don't stand for anything. It's a different time–not worse necessarily, just different.
I worry for us as an on-demand culture lacking both true collective experiences and meaningful interpretations of the few that do come along. Currently the closest thing we have to a collective experience is the Trump/Sanders phenomenon, but the analysis of that takes place in the echo chambers of cable news and social media, where we filter out the viewpoints with which we disagree. What commentary we get is biased and shallow, the equivalent of "I hope that troublemaker gets what he deserves."
That's why I feel both obligation and dread at the notion of writing about Ali. I'm just another idiot adding to the online noise, contributing no new perspective on the great man and his legacies, both personal and professional, but I'm supposed to write something about him.
Well, I can't. I'm just sorry that he's gone, and with him the days of everyone tuning into the same thing at the same time. Regardless of whom we rooted for, we all tuned in when Ali fought, and for 15 rounds we were unified in our interest. The only events that pull us together anymore are disasters, and even those are losing their power to unify us, even for a few moments. We're splintering apart, falling into the rabbit holes of our individual screens.
The Greatest truly was great. Maybe that's all that needs to be said.

Harvest Moon Macaroni
For a complete meal, serve with Baba Ganoush and Pita Crisps and Spicy Sundaes.
- 1 pound macaroni, such as cassarecci, strozzopretti or ziti with lines

Bring a pot of water to a boil, season with salt and cook the macaroni to al dente.
Pre-heat the broiler and place a rack in the middle of the oven.

Husband and wife duo, Will Finn and Rosie Calvert, are singers first and foremost. Their voices complement in that way family performers do – aural choices made by gut before ear, instinctively knowing when to twist and turn for listener intrigue – honed through years of singing about the house, in the car. Their harmonies live in as close quarters, too, which, of course, is as much down to their being part of a capella quartet The Teacups, favourites of the live folk scene for their rousing performances and patter. Their unaccompanied prowess is, unsurprisingly – and thankfully, for fans of The Teacups – on show here, with 'Paddy's Lamentation', a contemplation of the new North American home of Irish immigrants, and 'Scampo', a sung tune of Rosie's composition.
Will Finn and Rosie Calvert's approach to orchestration is informed by their singing, too, seeking out the empty spaces and filling them, gently broadening their palette to a deceptively full sound. And it's no mean feat when one of those instruments is a steel pan. It's a self-proclaimed 'party of one', the decision to play European folk tunes on an instrument so well known for another, sunnier genre of music, but such is the sensitivity of approach that Beneath This Place is far from a novelty or lab for experimentation. Instead, it demonstrates a confidence: taking the tradition and pushing it on; feeling the songs and tunes and interpreting them with new and different tools to hand.
Will Finn and Rosie Calvert are graduates of the Folk and Traditional Music BA at Newcastle University and have been taking the festival circuit by storm with their a capella harmony quartet The Teacups for the past eight years, performing all over the UK and beyond. Their duo work is met with accolades wherever they go, and their debut album, 'Beneath this Place' (which was fully funded following a successful kickstarter campaign) is being critically lauded as 'Distinctive' and 'Excellent'.

Ms. Novick's presentation will be Sunday, April 22 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. in the Kent School's state-of-the-art Mattison Auditorium, 1 Macedonia Road.
Lynn Novick is an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning documentary filmmaker. For nearly 30 years, she has been directing and producing films about American history and culture, most recently The Vietnam War, an immersive, 10-part, 18-hour epic, directed with Ken Burns, that aired on PBS in the fall of 2017. Novick and Burns have long been creative partners and collaborators, responsible for some of the most respected and top-rated documentaries to have aired on PBS, including Prohibition, Baseball, Jazz, Frank Lloyd Wright and The War, a seven part, 15-hour exploration of ordinary Americans' experiences in World War II.
The Vietnam War, produced with Sarah Botstein and written by Geoffrey C. Ward, received widespread critical acclaim and was seen by nearly 40 million viewers in the USA as well as millions more around the globe. A groundbreaking 360-degree exploration of the conflict, the series features testimony from nearly 100 witnesses, including many Americans who fought in the war and others who opposed it, as well as dozens of Vietnamese combatants and civilians from the winning and losing sides.
Novick is currently directing College Behind Bars (working title), a contemporary documentary produced by Sarah Botstein, Salimah El Amin and Mariah Doran, about a group of men and women imprisoned in New York State for serious crimes, struggling to earn degrees in a rigorous liberal arts college program – the Bard Prison Initiative. College Behind Bars asks several essential questions: What is prison for? Who in America has access to educational opportunity? Can we have justice without redemption? The film will air on PBS in 2019. Novick and Burns are currently collaborating on a biography of Ernest Hemingway, and are developing series about the presidency of Lyndon Johnson and the history of crime and punishment in America. She lives in New York City.

Rihanna's multinational 777 tour ran into trouble last night (18 November) at Berlin's E-Werk venue when a late start led to booing crowds.
The audience, many of whom had been waiting since 8pm for her scheduled 9pm start, were disgruntled to still be waiting for the pop star's arrival onstage at 11.30pm. DJs Congo Rock and Reflex had long since finished and the crowd were subjected to taped songs by artists including Jessie J.
Fans started chanting Rihanna's name but the stage remained empty. "Check your watch," heckled one fan. "Get on the fucking stage," said another.
When the singer arrived, counted in by a special 777 promo, the mood quickly turned in her favour for what was one of the best-sounding sets of the week. "Berlin what's popping, how you guys doing tonight?" she said, without an apology for the late arrival.
Wearing a tuxedo jacket, cannabis leaf T-shirt, sunglasses, custom chain and knee high boots, she performed a full set, having cut her performance in Paris short. Later she attempted to speak German, asking the word for 'hot'.
The 777 Tour today (November 19) arrives in London, where Rihanna will also turn on the Westfield Stratford Christmas lights at 4pm. The Sun newspaper suggested that Rihanna was being paid £5 million for the honour, but this has been refuted by her publicists.
Rihanna will make her London show – taking place at an undisclosed venue tonight – available for fans to stream on the LoveLive YouTube channel from 9pm (GMT). Rihanna's 'Unapologetic' album is released today.
In Berlin, Rihanna played:
'Cockiness (Love It)'
'Birthday Cake'
'Talk That Talk'
'The Wait Is Over'
'Shot A Man Down'
'Only Girl In The World'
'Please Don't Stop The Music'
Acoustic section ('Unfaithful', 'Take A Bow', 'Hate That I Love You')
'Take Care'
'Where Have You Been All My Life'
'Run This Town'
'All Of The Lights'
'We Found Love'
Rihanna is also set to play five UK dates in summer 2013 as part of a world tour. The singer will kick off the stretch at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium on June 10, before heading to Manchester, London, Birmingham and Sunderland.
Rihanna will play:
Cardiff Millennium Stadium (June 10)
Manchester Arena (June 12)
Twickenham Stadium (June 15)
Birmingham LG Arena (June 17)
Sunderland Stadium Of Light (June 20)
To check the availability of Rihanna tickets, go to NME.COM/TICKETS now, or call 0871 230 1094.

The Terp men's soccer team is no joke, but Wake is a juggernaut. They're like the Megan Fox to the rest of the actresses. Utter domination. So that's why it was so huge when they came to the CP last weekend to clash with the #2 Terps. Maryland made it close, but the Deeks were too much,.
Maryland soccer coach Joey Tribbiani attempts to seduce another opponent.
The game was even on TV (Fox Soccer Net), so that's exciting. Is there a serious market for college soccer? In any case, imagine the ratings bonanza if these two hooked up again in the postseason…upon the pitch of battle. Goterps.

The Louisiana Small Business Development Center at McNeese State University (LSBDC at MSU) was awarded and recognized as the U.S. Small Business Administration SBDC Service Excellence and Innovation Center for 2016, which acknowledges it as the top SBDC in the state. The SBA honored the LSBDC at MSU at the Governor's Mansion on May 4 during the Louisiana Small Business Awards Ceremony.
SBA District Director Mike Ricks thanked Governor John Bel Edwards and Louisiana Economic Development (LED) Secretary Don Pierson for their support of small business, and said although large business brings big economic impact, "we really can't not recognize the small business owners as well as it's a key component to the state economy and the nation as well."
Ricks said the LSBDC at MSU played a major role in the recovery process Southwest Louisiana after the disasters of Hurricane Rita in 2005. Since then, the center and the region significantly progressed. LSBDC at MSU helped start 202 businesses, create 589 jobs, retain another 340 jobs, secure $47 million in capital, and increase sales by $7 million. Located at the Southwest Louisiana Entrepreneurial and Economic Development (SEED) Center, the LSBDC at MSU continued to thrive throughout the last fiscal year.
"Helping entrepreneurs is an exciting, fulfilling mission," Donna Little said, LSBDC at MSU Director. "We love working with individuals to pursue their passion and build a future for themselves and their families and employees here in Southwest Louisiana. It's wonderful to be recognized for doing the work we enjoy."
Little added, "I also want to recognize McNeese State University as a strong ally for our operation. We appreciate the support that McNeese has provided to our Center for over 30 years."
Dr. Musa Essayyad, Dean of McNeese's College of Business, said the university has been supporting the LSBDC to promote job creation and capital formation association with entrepreneurial small businesses in Southwest Louisiana region.
"We are proud of the achievement of our LSBDC and its leadership and staff who made a difference in guiding startups and entrepreneurs in building successful businesses in our region," Dr. Essayyad said. "The economic spinoff is manifested in activities taken place at the SEED Center and its incubator."
Small businesses make big contributions to Louisiana's success, according to LED Secretary Don Pierson. LED and its partners provide a host of small business services to strengthen, retain and grow small businesses in Louisiana. During 2015, LED's Small Business Services team and the Louisiana Small Business Development Center Network served more than 13,400 small businesses and individuals, directly resulting in 1,472 new jobs, 947 retained jobs and the launch of 175 new businesses. Those services generated an estimated sales increase of more than $35.4 million and new debt and equity investment of $51 million for Louisiana's small businesses.
"Ninety-seven percent of our employers in Louisiana are small businesses, and they employ more than half of the private-sector workforce in our state," Secretary Pierson said. "From that vital constituency, we are pleased to recognize some of our most enterprising and innovative business leaders with these Small Business Awards."

Brilliant design
But "Goodbye Drink Tickets," the lady in the 1960s commercial might say, her flip-do bobbling with excitement. "I discovered multi-tab wrist bands!" Here is how this worked. Entry to the festival entitles you to a certain number of "pours." We forgot how many. WOOHoo - it's a wine festival. You tear a little tab off your wristband to pay. They litter the environment and confetti the landfill, and ...oh, be quiet you. Let the plastics industry have their moment.
The celebration of Texas' vineyards, especially those in the temperate Hill Country, has been going on for 5 years. Some things are working; some are not. This year, it fell strangely close to the actual Hill Country Wine Festival, but then in New England, we never met an ice cream weekend we didn't like.
The festival came to the Austin Sprawl Area's "Domain," a new faux downtown of high-end shops anchored by Neiman's, a Westin convention hotel, and a crazy big field next to the highway, where events can take place.
1. An outdoor festival is greatly benefitted by trees. Austin is full of them. Why pick a place like this?
not really grass) So yes, hot. Bloody hot. But with a stiff wind to keep the bugs down, good canopy cover. And 10 tabs of wine.
2. Signage will kill you? My hosts confirm that they have been to more than 1 event at this location, which is really set up like an old downtown -- which Austin also has -- but contains no signs indicating that a giant festival is taking place in it. So one drives around hopelessly until one asks the valet at the Westin, who seems very used to this aspect of his job.
4. Things we liked:
Tempranillo: a Spanish grape, very warm and velvety, but too warm for the day. Needed a bison steak to go with it.
Rose: Seriously. They've changed it. Still pink and giggly, but not the sticky kool-aid you remember from the senior trip.
Viognier: 100% Texas fruit, flowery and crisp. A good end-of-the-hot day refresher or standing by for the chicken to grill.
White Port: who knew? I did not care for this as much as my hostess, but mostly because my palate was not prepared for the liquory bite, which lord knows I enjoy in my amber beverages. I would have to come back and visit it with a chocolate cheesecake.
Wine makes me flush, so I sweat right through my jeans, and my water bottle began to make soup. We wondered about families who brought their children to a scene where there was literally nothing for them to do, and remembered we had one at home.
Later that evening, we invited another couple over with a 4 year-old and a 5 week old. They marvelled at the tale of our wine festival as if it would never again happen for them. But of course it will. Maybe we should stay with the kids next year and let them go alone.

What we do for fun
After 10 days of rain, we just wanted to be outside. After more than 20 years in Boston, we wondered what we could do that was at all new. But Paul always delivers.
Deer Island is a spit of land in the inner Atlantic where Boston and the Bay Colony have traditionally kept what they felt was untouchable. It is officially one of the Boston Harbor Islands, and therefore National Park Land, but not of the camping and fishing variety. Definitely of the hiking, jogging, biking, marveling at the scenery variety.
When it has been raining for 10 days, and 50 degrees, then dawns as a clear-sky hot blue day over 70. Then you discover that even if you are casting a shadow in the parking lot of Charleston Chew, don't say, "I guess I won't need my jacket," as if that is ridiculous.
As we drove closer to coast, Paul said, "I don't care for that…. smog?" and pointed in front of us. Indeed, a brownish haze hung thick ahead, and seemed to originate from a place so specific we thought something was on fire. But nothing was burning. As we headed onto the isthmus that the Big Hurricane brought, making Deer Island no longer an island, we were plunged into London style fog.
So the "Dramatic views of the Boston skyline and Harbor Islands" and "Specatular [sic] closeups of airport landings and takeoffs" were lost to us. Instead, everything took on the eeriness of a potential sighting of Jack the Ripper. People and dogs would suddenly appear out of the nothingness like ghosts, birds would hang in midair as if pasted there, and the invisible closeup landings and takeoffs suggested the Blitz.
Then there was the creepy, Alien set of the treatment plant itself, which is odd enough looking in the light of day, but in silhouette against nothingness was truly otherworldly.
Yes, sort of like that, only you couldn't even photograph this.
Later, online, we tried to make sense of it on Google Earth, using the topography we had made up on the spot, "Is that Tatooine, or was that nearer to the Contact turbine?" I'm not convinced we were even on Earth.
We walked the seawall until it was too stinky to move on, which takes much longer than you would expect, and yes, you will know exactly when it happens. I now present the giggly ironic poop-humor of touring the city's wastewater treatment compound.
- There are port-a-potties. But there are not hand sanitizers
- You have to clean-up after your dog.
- The Deer Island Scavenger Hunt
- It includes the item "Find and name 5 unnatural items you see on the beach."
- Constant use of the term "breathtaking."
We will have to visit another day, when we can see, and photograph, and get a little sunburn, instead of just wet. Because we had no pictures, I have borrowed the work of more talented and equipped others.

Census Dater
Thanks to outsiders like me (Richies, think the natives), this town is growing. Housing sales peaked, then prices fell, just like anywhere else -- only now they are lower than they have ever been. So none of us is leaving. And the cost of living is still higher here than the national average. Ask my Alaskan friend who just came for 3 days of dinners. If the US average is expressed as 100, my town is 115.6 (Boston - 136. that's why anyone lives this far out).
As a town, we are not as much older than the state average as we look. This may say more about me and where I hang out than it does about the town. There are more women than men, but not by much. The census now uses this quaint phrase, Female householder with no spouse present (another fancy play on Unmarried Person). There are 1105 of us. I am forming a book club. We outnumber the men by 355. But even combined, we can not take on the 2082 married-with-children. Though it would be one heck of a game show. They could combine forces like a Survival Tribe of alliances; we would just hire people to do it for us. And go for brunch.
Should they know how to spell it?
It is still mostly a white town, for all of that. 15 Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders (!) 12 Native Americans. I simply must get on the town day committee. Since 67 O'Malleys and 36 McNamaras died in this last census round, there may be room for a Touissant or an Escobar to shake things up in Central Park.
For the record, I do not live in Massachusetts' smallest town. (I honestly wasn't sure, but I verified...) We have a designation of "Very Small Towns" and they are wickit smwall. Smaller than our force of Female Householders. I am actually, by our standards, in a "Small City," ha-ha, where the number of bars is not in fact, anything remarkable and never has been.

Do you know what your company needs?
You know how one of the lines in our cultural liturgy has become "Counselors will be present on site for those who need assistance"? I found out where they come from.
When I worked in the world of Higher Ed, nuns and priesst, and rabbis and chaplains were easily had -- and I'll admit it: sometimes we talked to them about stuff we might not have talked to the Boss about. I would say the same about the campus nurse and the head of student counseling. So maybe it wasn't just the collar. Maybe it was the well-scrubbed hands.
Anyway, I dare say that if you don't now work on a college campus, or in a Bon Secour hospital, you may not have ready access to the holy word in your workplace. My position is not going to be for or against this in principle. It is going to be wonder.... what that character on your little show would be like.
One of my favorite moments on The Office is Andy Bernard trying to mediate a conflict resolution, "because I was an R.A." That's pretty much what I imagine your Corporate Chaplain is like.
"Corporate Chaplains of America implements a variety of means for caring in the workplace. These include any or all of the following: confidential care giving, crisis intervention, critical incident care team specialists, management consultation, programs for worship or prayer, referral to other professionals and agencies, training and education for employees and supervisors, employee/community/church relations and programs, and special events scheduled in response to needs which arise in the workplace. "
This need might have been such a need.
Maybe instead of the Muscle, the big man could have brought the Heart.
{{blllli-i-ii-ng..... The More You Know...}}
"Whatever the scope of each family's problems or concerns, Corporate Chaplains of America has a network of qualified and caring outsource providers that can help."
family? seriously, CCA. That is not helping.
And temperament tested. Like dogs from the shelter.
I wish this were also true of my management tier. I think if we started our monthly departmental meetings with a round of "Peace That Passeth Understanding" ... I was going to say something else, but now I am just going to say... I would pay for that myself. I might just start it on Wednesday.
This is why he is so happy. Cause you-all is craaazy. And he gets to leave tomorrow. The site explains that your chaplain is shared among 3-5 other companies. Are they comparable companies? Are they competitors ? Does he organize sandlot baseball, like Bing Crosby might have done?
This slide comes at the end of the video. They hope you haven't noticed the line at the beginning, where they promise "...a life-nourishing resource built on christian faith and a helping hand." Non-denominational must mean "other than ours."
Do not scoff at Corporate Chaplains. Their 5 year plan might be more ambitious than your own company's.
They slid the dry-cleaning and the workout room right in on you. They made you think you wanted your dog there. And as long as the United Way decides where to spend the charitable donation the dept director pressures you into, you might as well have Bible study there too. Why leave?
Coca-Cola has 25 of them.
Tyson Foods, 127. Corporate Chaplains
LubeFast. (stop it. that's not funny)
Though I should clarify that those companies were contracted from mycorporatechaplain.com. A rival corporate chaplain placement service. Chew on that phrase a while.
