Simple issue tracker to use with VCS
Project description
Small command line issue tracker mostly for those one person projects where you don't want to depend on something like github to track your issues but want to keep issue tracking in your repository.
Issue.py requires python3 but doesn't depend on any external libraries.
# easy_install issue
# pip install issue
or if you want to install it just for yourself without root access, you can add --user to either of those commands, e.g.
$ pip install --user issue
and it will install issue.py in ~/.local/bin/ which you can just add to your $PATH.
Getting started
$ issue.py init $ issue.py add -d "my new issue" $ issue.py add -t enhancement -d "my enhancement proposal" $ issue.py open 1 bug 2013-12-27 my new issue open 2 enhancement 2013-12-27 my enhancement proposal $ issue.py close 1 closed 1 bug 2013-12-27 my new issue
usage: issue.py [-h] [subcommand] ... Simple issue handler optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit subcommands: {add,edit,close,search,se,show,init,remove,rm} add Add new issue edit Edit individual issue close Close an issue search (se) Search issues show Show more information on individual issue init Initialize issue file remove (rm) Remove an issue
Making the issues file
To make a new ISSUES file, you can use
$ issue.py init [-g] [-f]
which basically just make a file with [] in it. If you specify -g to make gzip compressed issues file. Compressed files won't work so well with version control system, but you can do that anyway if you like. If you already have an issues file you want to compress, you can simply compress your ISSUES file with
$ gzip ISSUES
and it'll make ISSUES.gz which works transparently with issue.py. Similarly, if you want to move back to uncompressed file, you can uncompress it with
$ gzip -d ISSUES.gz
If you already have an ISSUES file, issues.py won't overwrite it but you can force it to create the file anyway with -f. This won't actually remove the old file, but simple moves it out of the way.
Adding issues
Basic way to add issues is to do
$ issue.py add -d "My issue description"
you can add -t to specify tags in comma-separated list. If you specify none, -t bug is assumed.
You can also leave -d out and issue.py will open the default editor for you specified in $EDITOR environment variable. In the editor you can write multiline issue description where first line will be used as the title and will be shown in default issue list. You can view the whole description with issue.py show <issue>
to add issue with feature tag, you can do
$ issue.py add -t feature -d "Add support for .gz files"
You can also specify multiple tabs with commas, without spaces
$ issue.py add -t bug,critical -d "Game crashes on save"
Closing issues
Closing issues works simply
$ issue.py close <number>
where <number> is the issue number you want to close. This will simply change issue status to 'closed'. Closing issue will print the closed issue and the issue won't show up in issue list anymore by default. You can still find it with issue.py search
$ issue.py close 4 closed 4 Feature 2013-12-27 Laser effects would be cool
Editing issue
You can edit any issue using
$ issue.py edit <number> [-t tag] [-s status] [-d description|-e]
which lets you edit issue's tags, status and description as you like. -e cannot be used with -d description. Using -d you can specify the new description for the issue on the commandline, but if you want to edit the description more easily or if the issue description is multiline, you can use -e to open the description in the editor for editing.
-t allows you to add and remove tags by specifying + or - in front of the tags list or you can use = to replace the tags all together. You cannot add and remove tags at the same time.
To add feature tag to issue number 6:
$ issue.py edit 6 -t+feature
Removing tags works similarly. To remove critical tag from issue 46
$ issue.py edit 46 -t-critical
You can also specify multiple tags on the commandline
$ issue.py edit 7 -t+bug,low
to change issue status to wontfix you can do
$ issue.py edit 9 -s wontfix
to change issue status to closed and add critical tag:
$ issue.py edit 3 -s closed -t+critical
Searching for issues
Searching for issues works much like issue editing. You can specify any of -t, -s and -d to filter the issuelist by tags, status or description respectively. Search will be done on open issues by default, but you can search all issues by specifying -s all. You can specify multiple tags at the same time by separating them with comma
to search for all issues with bug tag:
$ issue.py search -s all -t bug
to search for closed issues with feature tag:
$ issue.py search -s closed -t feature
to search open issues for crash keyword, you can simply do
$ issue.py search -d crash
if you remember an old closed bug with critical and bug tags that contained word "impossible, you can do
$ issue.py search -s closed -t critical,bug -d impossible
To view multiline issue or issue description that doesn't fit one terminal width, you can use
$ issue.py show <issue>
$ issue.py show 7 Status: open Number: 7 Tag: bug Date: 2013-12-28 Program crashes when you specify both -e and -d I found a way to make the program crash by doing $ issue.py edit 6 -d "will crash" -e I get "Generic error"
Removing issues
To remove issues, you can simply do
$ issue.py remove <issue>
Using remove is discouraged since remove action cannot be undone, but you can either close it or mark it wontfix instead.

Randall Stephens
[From Religion in American History]
About a week ago over at Religion in American History Paul Harvey posted on Chris Beneke and Christopher S. Grenda's, The First Prejudice: Religious Tolerance and Intolerance in Early America (Univ. Pennsylvania Press, 2011). The edited volume, "presents a revealing portrait of the rhetoric, regulations, and customs that shaped the relationships between people of different faiths in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century America. It relates changes in law and language to the lived experience of religious conflict and religious cooperation, highlighting the crucial ways in which they molded U.S. culture and politics." I recently caught up with Beneke, a Historical Society board member, by email and asked him some questions about the project and the work being down on tolerance/intolerance.
Randall Stephens: What is the unifying theme of The First Prejudice: Religious Tolerance and Intolerance in Early America?
Chris Beneke: Our title, The First Prejudice, plays on the popular understanding of religious liberty as the nation's "First Freedom." It also draws on the proposition that religion was initially the source of the deepest prejudice to afflict early Americans and the object of the first large-scale efforts to mitigate prejudice. We asked our contributors to be attentive to the distinguished and extensive historiography on church and state, but not beholden to it. The idea was to create a history of religious tolerance and intolerance that took into account a broader range of religious and cultural interaction than histories of religious liberty have traditionally done. For us, it presented an opportunity both to build a compelling new narrative of early American religious history-where religious differences are at center stage-and to develop a common set of reference points and questions that would frame more useful conversations about tolerance and intolerance in America.
Stephens: Why did religious tolerance develop in the West when and where it did?
Beneke: In a sense, it depends on what you mean by tolerance (I know it's annoying when historians say that, but there, I've gone and done it). If you mean what Willem Frijhoff calls "everyday ecumenism," or at least everyday cooperation and non-violence, then it's very old indeed. Historians have been hard at work in the archives over the past two-plus decades, discovering that sort of tolerance in surprising places across medieval and early modern Europe. But as a commonly accepted ideal, as a stated commitment to some form of equality, and a legal practice that guaranteed a modicum of protection, tolerance is something that developed in the intellectual capitals of northern Europe during the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. And though I risk irritating my intrepid co-editor and some contributors by saying this, I think that it took hold in a much more fundamental and irrevocable way in the early national United States.
Stephens: When it comes to religious tolerance did the early United States differ all that much from Great Britain and western Europe?
Beneke: Here's the very short answer: official church establishments persisted across most of Europe into and beyond the twentieth century. In the United States, they did not. The U.S. may have maintained an unofficial Protestant establishment for many decades (via instruments such as the common law, public education, state religious tests.), but the fact that it was un-official and the fact that it was accompanied by substantive protections for free exercise, was critically important. For all the disingenuity involved, an un-official establishment was surely more hospitable toward religious minorities than almost any official establishment might have been. Maybe just as importantly, the commitment to disestablishment and religious liberty meant that the religiously intolerant had to explain themselves and find ways to wrap bigotry in the mantle of tolerance.
These factors have always kept American religious intolerance in check.>>>

The author of a number of French history books brings us a neatly packaged tale of one of the greatest liars and swindlers of the Belle Époque era, Therese Humbert. A girl of poor means from southern France, Therese quickly developed a talent for creative lies and story-telling that elevated her family's status among the eyes of their community. Wracking up a number of unpaid debts, Therese and her family eventually found their way to Paris. Through Therese's ability to craft lies, charm vendors and blend in casually to any group, her family had the honor of hosting parties for a number of political and literary dignitaries, even associated with artist Henri Matisse through marriage. However, the well woven web of lies and deceit soon begins to unravel and Therese finds herself penniless and alone in jail. Her dream castles shattered into a million pieces.
I was drawn to this book for its size as well as its main feature, Therese Humber. The book is about 119 pages and roughly 4×6 in size. Its a small book, a quick expose of Therese's life. There isn't much meat in the book, and I'm sure much of it was left to the author's imagination as the bibliography sources were quite limited and there were few if any citations in the actual book. Although Therese's life seems to be incredibly interesting, her story was not told well. I found the narrative difficult to follow at times and I still can't figure out how her lies almost destroyed the French Third Republic. The narrative felt more like a draft or outline of what could be a really interesting and detailed account of a rags-to-riches-to-rags Cinderella story.

While the World Asthma Day has been celebrated on May 5 and that the prevalence rate in Mauritius is around 6%, the chronic illness today have serious consequences for some patients.
Thus, asthma attacks kill around 100 to 150 patients annually on the island, according to recent figures listed by the medical institution.
As a reminder, the last study conducted about this disease had revealed that about 11% of Mauritian children had asthma.

Sheep Purposes
During the class I taught at Pennsic 38, someone asked the question of whether we knew if the people in the 4th – 7th centuries raised sheep for wool, milk or food.
At the time, I did not remember reading about how this was determined. In perusing some of my research materials (ok, I was looking through my one notebook) I again came across how an "indication of purpose" was postulated by the relative age of the bones found in a midden heap. We know that the Picts had sheep. We also know that they probably had sheep in their diet based on the presence of sheep bones found. What we don't know is if they were raising the sheep for meat, milk or wool – with any certainty. It would seem, to modern people, that they would have raised them with multi-purpose in mind – but that may simply be a modern mind-set.
One of the ways "purpose" of the sheep can be determined, is the relative age of the sheep by the bones found. If sheep were being raised predominantly for wool and/or milk, the bones found would be predominantly of older sheep (gender is still an issue given that the bones were not kept separate by gender or even by 'single sheep'). If the sheep were primarily being kept for meat, the relative age of the sheep bones would be from younger animals – lambs or yearlings.
Early archaeological reports only kept records of the percentage of occurrence of sheep bones versus cattle, deer, pig, goat, etcetera. This makes answering the question of "purpose" of the sheep kept an elusive one to answer with any authority. Much like many shepherds today, some were no doubt raised for their wool, milk or meat. Some could have been raised for multiple purposes in the same flock.
So, the answer here is – we don't know for sure either way. We can only guess.

"The concept (safe spaces) has its roots in feminism and describes a physically and intellectually sheltered space that protects one from potentially insulting, injurious or traumatizing ideas or comments — a place, in short, that protects one from the world."
Nowhere is it written in any legal or moral code of any civilized society that anyone has any sort of "right" to NOT be offended. These little spoiled brats need to get over it. — jtl, 419

Recently we launched a blog for Be a Girl Today, a t-shirt company celebrating girls playing sports. As a proud father of two girls (that's Sophie with her game face on,) I love their empowering, slightly subversive, message.
The client was very happy with their blog. However, their original Web site that was handling the e-commerce was not very user-friendly, and didn't have the attitude that their slogans offer.
We talked about revamping the Web site, but instead we decided to add e-commerce to their new blog.
We used TypePad's pages feature to develop traditional Web pages which we could populate with a shopping cart solution. For e-commerce we used PayPal, which covered the client's need for a gateway processor, secure server, and security certificate, while making it unnecessary for them to have a merchant account, at least for online purchases.
However, I've never been a fan of PayPal's shopping cart. Luckily, I recently read John T. Unger's post on blogs as stores and discovered e-junkie.
E-junkie is a "fat-free shopping cart" that integrates nicely with PayPal, Google Checkout and Authorize.net. It offers a slick, integrated shopping cart into any Web site or blog. It's also perfect for digital products as well. I plan on revamping our digital products and selling them through the PayPal/e-junkie combination.
To see it in action, you can check out e-junkie's Web site or play around with it by dropping a kid's t-shirt in your cart at Be a Girl Today. Who knows, you may just find that perfect gift and get your Christmas/Chanukah/Kwanza shopping done early.
Be a Girl Today offers kids t-shirts, adult t-shirts and bumper stickers for equal opportunists everywhere.

One of the most valuable lessons I've learned over the years is that when you're engaged in work and activities that feel right, you often find yourself connecting with exceptional people who bring a positive presence to the world.
As I wrote in my last post, on Wednesday I had the pleasure of addressing the annual awards banquet of Americans for Democratic Action (ADA) in Washington, D.C. It was a great opportunity to share with fellow dinner attendees the work we have been doing in the states to advance the anti-bullying Healthy Workplace Bill.
I was very fortunate to have at my table a group of dear friends, many of whom have been active in the workplace anti-bullying movement. After the dinner, several of us gathered at the podium for the picture above. It was a treat to spend the evening with these people.
Sometimes you find the right groove and good things start to materialize. Yeah, I know this sounds like metaphysical stuff that might be greeted with skepticism. But I've seen it happen with others, too, time and again. To amplify this point, let me share with you a slightly edited excerpt from my forthcoming law review article, "Intellectual Activism and the Practice of Public Interest Law" (forthcoming in the Southern California Review of Law and Social Justice):
Follow Your Bliss and Let One Thing Lead to Another
The late Joseph Campbell's writings and lectures on mythology, faith traditions, and the world's societies made him a singular authority on the human experience. He first appeared on the radar screens of many people via a PBS series of televised interviews with Bill Moyers — "The Power of Myth" — that premiered in 1988. Campbell's most famous advice in one of those segments, now repeated on many occasions, was "follow your bliss." He suggested that following our bliss can lead us to life paths in which opportunities and connections seem to materialize before us. In the PBS series, Campbell replied to a Moyers question about whether "hidden hands" guide and facilitate our work once we have found our path:
All the time. It is miraculous. I even have a superstition that has grown on me as the result of invisible hands coming all the time — namely, that if you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss, and they open doors to you….
I realize that "follow your bliss" can morph easily into the most banal forms of encouragement. Joseph Campbell was not a superficial person, but his signature line is tailor made for every soon-to-be-forgotten commencement speech or career pep talk, of which there are many. Furthermore, not everyone has the opportunity to follow this advice. Especially for those who are struggling to put food on the table and to keep a roof over their heads, such beyond-survival aspirations may appear to be unrealistic and even unattainable. However, with a leap of faith, I will assume that many readers here are likely to be blessed with some degree of choice over the activities they pursue and are motivated to make a positive difference during their lives.
As Campbell suggests, following one's bliss is not a static state of being; rather, it leads to connections and people. On this point I appeal to Drs. John Bilorusky and Cynthia Lawrence of the Western Institute for Social Research (WISR), a tiny, non-traditional university in Berkeley, California, devoted to social change and community engagement. They are fond of invoking the phrase, "one thing leads to another," and they cite, as examples, WISR students whose learning projects, grounded in socially relevant topics of deep personal interest, have led them to connections and difference-making opportunities they may not have anticipated when they embarked on their work.
Practicing in an intellectual activist mode, I have experienced a connectivity that echoes both Campbell ("you begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss, and they open doors to you") and Bilorusky & Lawrence ("one thing leads to another"). It is a place where one's networks, circles, and tribes feel right in terms of shared or compatible goals, and where one's activities and values are largely congruent. Some may experience this coalescence earlier in life. For me, the pieces did not come together until my fifties. I am extraordinarily grateful that they eventually did.
One thing that wasn't in sync at the ADA awards banquet was our technological know-how. I had hoped to post a video of my speech from Wednesday night, but unfortunately we had a glitch with the camera. Suffice it to say, however, that steady readers of this blog know most of what I had to say. I gave special attention to the progress that we've made in Massachusetts in moving the Healthy Workplace Bill through various committees in the legislature.
Thank you!
A big thank you to those who took out program ads to support me, including SEIU/NAGE Local 282 (Greg Sorozan, President), Workplace Bullying Institute (Drs. Gary & Ruth Namie), Denise Doherty & Brian McCrane, Suffolk University Law School, Gail Almeida, and Jessica Stensrud. I also appreciated the many individuals, unions, and ADA local chapters who bought ads honoring all of the night's awardees.

I tied a few more last night with trouts suggestion which were helpful. Spinning the UTC thread to flatten it out worked well as did adding a dubbing base before tying on the squirmy material. I also shortened up the front extension.trouts wrote:Using just a drop of superglue to hold the worm material helps with ease of tying. Adding a dubbing base layer at the tying point also helped keep the squirmy material from moving around. Definitely not the easiest material to tie with, but not bad after you tie up a few. Be careful when using superglue. It will tear very easily right where it transitions from the dried glue and the flexible rubber. Same if you use to much thread pressure. A flat thread like UTC definitely helps with this pattern.
If tied as shown here I tended to get a lot of fouling and twisting on longer casts. Material would twist around the front of the hook and around the tippet towards the eye of the hook. I usually cut it off much shorter towards the eye and that seemed to help a lot. Leaving maybe about 1/4 to 3/8" material towards the front of the hook. If you are using a longer nymphing rod and making short casts essentially Czech nymphing it's not as big of an issue. Very effective pattern after it rains.

Who Is Accountable For Amway Failure?
In my observations, I would say that many financial systems are similar. Whether it be BWW, N21, WWDB, real estate gurus or other systems, the success rate is extremely low. Many systems that advertise on television will have a disclaimer that a success testimony is a rare or unique experience. I believe it is similar to the systems in Amway. Dedication or continued spending on the system is not the problem. The problem is often the system itself. It can work for some exceptional people. These people were likely to succeed in other venues anyway. The problem is that is does not work for the majority of people. People who succeed in Amway likely succeed in spite of the system and not because of it.
The bigger problem, is that for many many years, some uplines have lived high on the hog off of the dedicated tool purchases of their downline. All the while, quesitonable or bad advice was given to the faithful downline. Advice such as quitting a job to attend a function, skipping financial obligations such as the rent or electric bills to buy more tools. One upline even said your family can skip a meal because the standing order may contain the one thing you needed to hear to make your business grow. I have personally seen couples lose their homes and go bankrupt because they followed upline advice. Upline to "has their best interest at heart". Granted, the couple has some culpability in these decisions, but uplines who give this advice seem to get a pass.
Where is the accountability? Some of these uplines who give and gave bad advice, are still active today, and some are still giving bad advice to their downlines. Advice that profits upline and drains downline. Even with valid complaints, it appears that many uplines avoid any accountability. For some, perhaps there is poetic justice, such as diamonds having their homes foreclosed. But as many uplines have nobody to hold them accountable, do you really want to do business with these folks? Would you invest your retirement money with a broker who could not be held accountable? Would you have your car repaired by a shop whose mechanics could not be held accountable? I believe the answer is not to these questions, yet many people are asked to trust and follow the advice of an upline who is not held accountable for their advice.
The system is credited for the few successes that are visible, but the individual is held accountable for any shortcomings or failures. IBOs, I encourage you to hold your upline leaders accountable for the advice they give you. If they won't answer tough questions or take responsibility, then one should wonder why the upline should be given your trust.

"The system is credited for the few successes that are visible, but the individual is held accountable for any shortcomings or failures."
That's an established cult trait. It's why MLMs are known as "blame-the-victim-cults."

There are always jargons for new and existing IBOs about the other opportunities and financial freedom. When I was a core IBO I was told I have to be accountable to every damn thing and to my upline. But when I was doing everything but with mediocre results, for that also I was accountable. Doing as told does not make teller accountable in Amway! No code of conduct for up lines but only down lines.
- February 3, 2013 at 12:40 AM
All the comments say they lost money and no one makes profit, could someone give me an example of that? (not for or against Amway just out of curiosity)

Hi Anon - I'm not sure how to answer your question. With MLM it is different than if you were a straight-out sales-person for a company - where one is paid wages or a commission for selling the companies products/services. With any MLM there is a system in place where you gain "points" & go up in "levels" to make an income. My husband has never made a profit due to paying for products/ services/liveleads/phonecalls/petrol-gas/attending meetings or seminars. I would advise you to look-up the "pyschology" (Joe, has an article here also!) of why good working people join & stay in these MLM Groups - my husband is in the process of leaving behind MLM for good due to my determination - I had a "mission" for him to stop due to never making a profit/wasting our well-earned money not from MLM/time & family-life & being starry-eyed & having teams/group unity etc. {Thanks again, Joe & Anna, for your much appreciated help & guidance!} So, Anon, the 1% success-rate speaks for it'self & even then I don't believe that either! Look after yourself & your best interests & don't be mis-led or enticed into MLM please. Cheers; Lady G. (footnote: Sorry Anon, Joe & All, I've become emotional here as it has been a real rollercoaster!)

If you were to just sell these products(might be difficult) or create a big network of people below you who are buying lets say $200 a month of Amway products(not worthless CD's or books that others have been posting on here, but actual household things you may use and repurchase on a monthly basis) wouldn't one make a profit? No following stupid uplines or going to seminars and all that bullshit. Even without purchasing any products myself would I be able to make a profit? Im not talking lots of money, lets say like a few hundred dollars a month? Is that feasible? And please I do not want to hear some story about how someone failed and it ruined their life. I could not care about pathetic decisions that people made. Thanks

Without the functions, it's possible to make some profit. The question is whether or not you can sell average quality products for premium prices. If you can do this, you are likely to make money selling cars or homes instead of Amway products/
- February 5, 2013 at 9:31 AM
Anon 7 38. To answer question an ibo is convinced to auto consume about 200 dollars of product monthly and buy tapes , go to functions etc which costs about 200 monthly also. This give a monthly cost of 500-600 monthly when gaz telephone etc is added in. You need to be at platinum to have income enough to cover these costs. 99% never reach that level so would all make losses. They quit in the first year probably. The high pins have it organised so that there is a net inflow of people. This keeps the thing going and funds flowing to the few at the top. The 400 of costs i mentioned all goes up line for the most part. Hence the lowere levels are constantly feedind those at the top of the pyramid. As only 4 per cent of amway sales are to non ibo, it is obvious that this is scheme whereby a large majority of the low levels in the organisation are needed to finance the top. The low levels losses are the upper levels profits. Hence getting people in and keeping them as long as possible is key for the uplines.

Good post. You cannot have a king and a kingdom without the peasants.
- February 5, 2013 at 10:05 AM
Anon 11 28. I buy amway products ( loc once every few years)from a distributor here in France. They tell me they have 400 customers. They use a net based order process where you order and pay on line. I believe they also have a small amway shop. So they probably earn a couple of hundred euros a month. They have minimal costs. They do not recruit. However they will sponsor you if you ask and will guide you. They do not have any ambition to be diamond. Happy doing what they do . So that may answer your question.
- February 5, 2013 at 12:46 PM
Hello Anonymous - first of all are you the same person above who posted on Feb3 at 7.38pm, thanks!
Anyways your comment "pls I do not want to hear some story about how someone failed & it ruined their life etc"
*Our life wasn't ruined - we are moving on from this MlM entrapment.* And, your comment; "pathletic decisions" - we both spent 4yrs in MLM, believe me my husband is a hardworking person who *thought* he could change our life with MLM - I suppose I shouldn't get upset with your comment, as, you haven't been caught-up/invested your time/money, in it to understand where I was coming from?
If you wish to do any investigating/research - google; Datelines MLM YouTube Part 1 & 2. (which I discoverd on, Anna Banana's Blog; "Married to an Ambot" - thanks, Anna!)
Also, I have a link to an important audio featuring Mr Robert FitzPatrick & Mr Eric Scheilbler.
http://pyramidschemealert.org/resources/WhatAboutThisOne.mp3 {...Joe! Could I request please if you don't mind - that this link be posted somewhere at your Blog for better reference for others too find? Thanks!}
That link was the "bingo" for me to get my husband unbrainwashed. Thanks, Joe, for posting my post.
Cheers; G!
- February 5, 2013 at 2:13 PM
Im in school so I would not have time to sell homes or cars, so if I can make a few bucks on the side it would be fantastic. I still find it hard to believe people listen to their uplines and go to functions that cost money... Does that actually happen? But thanks for answering my question.
- February 5, 2013 at 11:09 PM
Sorry I probably did not make myself too clear. That comment was not directed at you. I just didn't want to someone to reply with my life was ruined or I wasted so much time and money with Amway or anything along those lines. Again I could not care about the ignorant decisions that people made.
Sorry If my comment had offended you in anyway.
- February 5, 2013 at 11:20 PM
Hi Anon, sorry also for my misunderstanding & thanks for your sincere words - they are much appreciated! Take care; Lady G! :)

For most nonprofits, corporate donations are only a small piece of the puzzle, accounting for just five percent of all U.S. donations in 2011. However, the benefits of corporate donors extend beyond their monetary contributions. They give your organization a publicity boost, which can spark an increase in donations from individuals and other companies.If you are a fundraiser seeking corporate donations, here are four steps you can follow to align your nonprofit with a company's brand, goals and mission and form an enduring alliance:
1. Know the Company's Background
Corporations tend to donate to organizations whose goals intersect with their own. Educate yourself on the company's background, including its mission, key achievements, future plans and recent history. An oil company implicated in a spill, for example, might donate to a nonprofit that advocates clean water in an effort to compensate for the destruction.
Partnerships between corporations and nonprofits arise because they share a common cause. Looking at the company's donation history can help show you whether your nonprofit is a good match in terms of organization type, amounts given and employee participation levels. Savvy nonprofits can collect and organize this prior donation history within a fundraising platform then use this information to personalize their outreach in a future fundraising campaign.
2. Focus on Employees
You may have heard the phrase "employee focus": it means corporate donations driven by the needs or interests of employees. Increasingly, companies are realizing that to attract and retain top talent, they need to be giving back in a meaningful way. This may mean donating to an organization where employees already volunteer, giving to a cause common among the employee population or organizing an off-site charitable event.
Habitat for Humanity St. Louis' CEO, Kimberly McKinney, emphasizes how participating in a volunteer event with tangible results, such as building a house, can be a strong team-building activity for staff. This also encourages cross-departmental interaction and breaks down barriers between managers and employees, she adds.
The Home Depot Foundation, says Southern Division field manager Joe Wimberley, decided to focus on helping elderly and disabled veterans when it learned that more than 35,000 Home Depot employees were, in fact, veterans. As a result, he says, employees have taken a personal interest in the Foundation's work to renovate veterans' homes, and team unity has been strengthened.
3. Keep it Local
Corporations, just like individuals, are more likely to give to local organizations. A study by the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy found that, between 2000 and 2011, 60 percent of donations over $1 million went to organizations local to the donor's geographic region.
Customers and employees alike want to help their community, says Amanda Ponzar, Communications Director for United Way Worldwide. Donating to local organizations shows customers that the corporation cares about the same issues they do. And when employees volunteer, special relationships are fostered between the company and the nonprofit: the company offers financial support and bodies for volunteer projects, and the nonprofit provides a positive image for the corporation, representation on the grassroots level of the local community and an outlet through which employees can give back.
4. Aim for Ongoing Collaboration
While every little bit helps, most organizations seek lasting partnerships with corporations over one-off donations. As a fundraiser, says Ponzar, you must understand the company's long-term goals: not just for itself, but for the community, the country and even the world. Her organization pursues partnerships of mutual interest that engage employees and target the broader causes of both organizations.
For example, United Way has a partnership with Wells Fargo that aims to educate people about financial matters. This serves as a bridge between Wells Fargo's goal of attracting more banking customers and United Way's goal of propagating financially stable individuals and families. These kinds of partnerships allow the company and the nonprofit to work together, while utilizing the core strength of each.
By following these four tips, you, too, can increase corporate donations to your nonprofit organization and form partnerships that are long-lasting and mutually beneficial.

Meyers was looking to rebound from its disappointing season opener - a 15-7 loss to Pittston Area.
In order to even their record the Mohawks would have to beat Valley West.
Thanks to a strong running game and stingy defense the Mohawks walked away with a 22-6 win.
Tom Schwab ran for 54 yards and Dwayne Harrison ran for 52 yards for the Mohawks. As a team, Meyers ran for 157 of its 283 total yards.
Defensively, Meyers held the Spartans to 76 yards on the ground and 144 yards passing.
"It was a true team effort," Meyers coach Mickey Gorham said. "We played as a unit and more consistent. We made progress. But the key was the run. We worked on it more in practice."
Harrison's 3-yard run and the ensuing 2-point conversion gave Meyers an 8-0 lead after the first quarter.
Dave Amory threw a pair of touchdown passes in the second quarter to make it 22-0. He threw a 15-yard strike to Ken White and a 53-yard pass to Harrison.
Fellow city school Coughlin was looking to continue the momentum against WVC newcomer Tunkhannock.
The Crusaders didn't have any trouble with the Tigers thanks to running back Mike Kaye. He carried 10 times for 104 yards and had touchdown runs of 10, 4 and 1 yards in a 35-0 win.
"It was hard getting up for this one after Wyoming Area last week," Coughlin coach J.P Meck said.
Defensive ends Steve Fasulka and Ciro Cinti led the Crusaders' effort on defense.
"Fasulka and Cinti were the key part of this victory," Meck said.
Elsewhere in the WVC
> Steve Federici had three touchdown runs and Matt Moran had two touchdown runs to lead Dallas to a 33-0 win over Nanticoke Area.
> Pittston Area's Carl DeLuca threw for 204 yards in a 24-6 win over Lehman.
> Tony Tolbert rushed for three touchdowns in GAR's 50-6 win over Crestwood.
> Bishop Hoban beat Hanover Area 33-14 to win its season opener for the first since the program was started in 1971.

Media release –
Religious affiliation emerging as key theme in 2016 Census topic consultation4 April 2013 | CO/72
The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has today provided an update on the 2016 Census of Population and Housing public consultation process and outlined the key themes emerging from the submissions received so far.
Since the consultation period began in early November 2012, Australians have been having their say on the proposed content and procedures for the 2016 Census. As of 22 March, 43 submissions have been received, with the religious affiliation topic attracting the highest number of submissions (13).
The submissions received to date support the retention of this topic in the upcoming Census however the majority have requested that the question be modified to better capture information about people with no religion.
Topics such as ancestry, Australian citizenship, long term health conditions and mode of travel to educational institution have also attracted a number of submissions.
In addition, 44 submissions relating to the 2011 Census are also being considered as part of this process.
Head of the Census Program, Duncan Young is thankful to those who have taken the time and effort to make submissions.
"I'd like to thank those organisations and individuals who have taken the time to make submissions about the content and procedures for the 2016 Census.
"This is an important stepping stone in our preparations for the 2016 Census of Population and Housing," Mr Young said.
"It is important for the Census program to ensure it remains relevant to Australia and its societal changes."
The public consultation process is due to close on Friday, 31 May 2013.
'There is still an opportunity for Australians to have their say and we look forward to receiving many more submissions prior to the closing date.'
The public will have their final opportunity to attend a public consultation at 2pm, on Friday, 12 April 2013. The ABS has organised a webinar in Canberra with interested parties who are interstate being able to view the presentation live online.
For more information on the topic consultation update visit 2016 Census web page or to view detail on the webinar visit our Newsboard.

A young and fresh creation out of a piece of yellow curtain – the hanging part, and a stripy textile we just put on Mila the model, and clipped on the back. It's an easy garment, less experimental than the usual ones, so we added a playful prop – a hula hoop,

Mural: Finished?
Monday, February 25th, 2013
I painted on some walls some more. I'm going to call it "done" for now. I'm not 100% happy with it, but it's not too shabby for a few days of work... spread out over a few years :/
Day 1: Here's where we started in 2010
Day 2: A little more progress a few months later
Day 3: A little more progress a few months later
And there it sat for
two years.
Day 4: I finally got back to work this past Thanksgiving
Day 5: Complete for now? The blue is a bit much, but I don't mind it enough to change it any time soon.
Shot from the kitchen with a snippet of Q's mural in the background.
I'm going to try for quick little posts in the future. Maybe we'll get back to one a month! So ambitious!
Youtube broke my hacky way of linking songs, so that's not going to work anymore. I guess I should go back and clean all those up at some point.
Instead, how about you
read this manga
It's only the cutest thing ever.

NATIONWIDE -- The FBI is warning people about romance scams this Valentine's Day.
Nearly 15,000 people lost about $230 million in 2016 to scammers who pretended to be interested in a romantic relationship and convinced them to give up their personal information.
They say you should check to see if the picture the person is using is being used for different profiles or under different names.
Be cautious if the person seems too perfect or tries to isolate you from friends or family.
Also, beware of anyone who promises to meet in person, but always comes up with an excuse at the last minute.
Of course, also never send money to anyone you don't know personally.

Ellandra woke up as the nearby soldier nudged her with a half murmured, "We're here..."
The next several minutes the shuttle eased full of organized chaos. To an outsider, it appeared no one knew where anything was. To another soldier, or trained eye, packs were being confirmed, uniforms buckled up and the sea of white storm troopers were soon settled back in their seats ready for deployment.
The unceremonious *thud* of the shuttle was matched with a klaxon tone and lights as the door opened for the small squad to exit and head for the destination not to far away.
Mygeeto was a large planet in the middle of nowhere, as far as Ellandra was concerned. The stark, unfriendly atmosphere and crystalline like surface reminded her of a geode turned inside out. Before her a ways was what may pass as a small field butting up against a treeline. A quick goggle check upon exit showed a small walled housing compound. Probably just a local family wealthy enough to protect themselves with the stone and crystal barrier.
The mission brief was easy. Go to the surface, retrieve the crystal shipment, go back home. But once in flight, Ellandra was called aside and given completely different orders.
Ellandra was in the third row of pairs as they exited the shuttle. The was soft din of conversation between some of her comrades. But the dark haired beauty remained silent as the squad leader called her out once they'd exited.
A white trooper stepped forward at the call of her name and took lead towards the compound. She heard the murmuring behind her grow louder ad they headed away from the mine and towards the compound.

The Souls of Black Girls
Written by Nikki Chase | Posted by: Anonymous
Her documentary, The Souls of Black Girls, was supposed to be a 15-minute news piece for her master's project in journalism at Emerson College. Soon, 15 minutes turned into 50 minutes and through a series of connections she had made throughout her studies, she had several celebrities signed onto the project.
Actresses Regina King and Jada Pinkett Smith, Public Enemy rapper Chuck D, PBS Washington Week moderator Gwen Ifill, and cultural critic Michaela Angela Davis all volunteered their opinions.
"In a way, I didn't find it difficult," Valerius said about her segue into filmmaking. "It was challenging to interview a celebrity like Jada Pinkett Smith, but I was trained to do everything at Emerson. We were taught to shoot, write, and edit our own pieces, so I was really just building on the skills I was already learning."
The documentary explores the way the media views African-American women and how that, in turn, affects the way they view themselves. Through interviews with young women, she traces the self-image of African-American women from to slavery to modern day, asserting that, in trying to attain the standards of beauty portrayed in the media, some black women may have developed a self-image disorder.
"It came from my own insecurities, self-esteem and confidence," she said. "I felt women of color were not necessarily accepted or celebrated in the media as beautiful."
She had been unknowingly preparing for the documentary since she was an undergraduate at St. John's University. Her research project as a Ronald McNair Scholar, titled "Self-Esteem and Self-Confidence: The Effects of Mass Media on Women of Color… Forgotten," served as a foundation for the documentary.
Valerius interviewed friends, editors, anyone who was willing to speak with her on the subject. "All the women were very honest about their feelings," she said. "It's something that we've always dealt with, but that we don't necessarily talk about all the time. Like we see with Don Imus, we've always had these issues. We have a good way of masking that we even have a problem."
In fact, it was the willingness of the participants that brought the film from a 15-minute news story to a full-blown documentary. Valerius attributes the unexpected amount of participants and the amount of information volunteered to the expansion of the film. "It was really just a matter of asking," she said. "It wasn't something that was difficult at all."
The most reluctant subjects were a group of high school girls she interviewed as a focus group before she began filming. "These were young girls who were just starting to go through it," she said.
Valerius produced, directed and edited the film in eight months and hopes to have a DVD out by the end of the festival circuit. The success of the film has inspired her to start her own film company, Femme Noir Productions, focused on the production of films by and for women of color.
She completed The Souls of Black Girls on virtually no budget, borrowing all her camera, lighting, and editing equipment from Emerson. The film follows a straight news documentary style since that was what Valerius was used to doing in school. "I've always been a fan of investigative pieces," she said. "When I was young, after TGIF, I was still up watching 20/20."
In addition to this month's screening at the Roxbury Film Festival, The Souls of Black Girls premiered at the 2007 Pan African Film & Arts Festival in Los Angeles. It was also showcased on AOL Black Voices and was featured at New York's Apollo Theater, in an event commemorating Women's History Month.
Valerius says the success of the film shows that there is a real interest in the subject and she would like to continue to do research on it, using other forms of media. "I see this as a blueprint to a bigger project that can be done and I would love to expand upon it, especially after the Don Imus controversy," she said.
Though she has not yet lined up her next project, she says The Souls of Black Girls has piqued her interest in the medium and she would like to make another documentary in the near future. "I can see myself going into that genre further and making people more aware of things they may not be aware of," she said.
See The Souls of Black Girls at the Roxbury Film Festival on August 5th or at the Martha's Vineyard African American Film Festival on August 10th. Also visit Valerius's multi-media MySpace page, http://www.myspace.com/soulsofblackgirls.

In the current world, there has been an increase in the number of crimes being committed every other day. Many people are finding themselves between a rock and hard place because they have to accomplish their day to day activities but they are faced by the challenge of increased crime that deters them from achieving such activities. However, various government in and around the world are investing heavily in reforms geared towards ensuring that their respective judicial systems are competent and equal to the task of arbitrating and curtailing such crimes.
One such way through which many judicial systems are playing a role in containing crime is through ensuring that all the accused persons appear before a competent court and undergo guilty plea hearing. This is the initial stage of a criminal matter and the accused will be required to accept or deny the offence. It is very hard for the accused to accept that they committed the offence but if they deny the courts have put in place measures that can be used to confirm whether the accused is guilty or innocent. It has become compulsory that the police service should conduct thorough and in depth investigation on behalf of the state and then avail the same evidence before the court during the hearing of the matter.
It is only through this that the court will be in a position to decide if the accused is guilty or not guilty. There have been cases where the police have been given the responsibility of punishing those who are found guilty of various offences but it came to be realized that they were not only inept but also very unqualified for the assignment. This called for the immediate transfer of the function to the judiciary. The judiciary has the required manpower and the resources to do the job. It is comprised of highly trained lawyer who act as magistrates, judges and arbitrators. Such professionals are well paid and chances of being compromised to act in favor of a certain party in the matter are equally low. Many judicial systems have in the recent past set up special courts to deal with crime as and when it occurs. This enables to reduce the backlog of cases in courts and especially nowadays when the number of consumers of justice has increased tremendously.
Divorce lawyers in Parramatta lawyer plays a key role in ensuring that rogue parents do not go siring children right, left and center and then neglect them. They put emphasis on the need for the parents to be responsible to their children and ensure they live good life and get an education. This can only be achieved through ensuring that all the laws that have been put in place to safeguard the rights of children are interpreted and applied to the letter. It is only through such lawyers that these pieces of laws can be put in motion to help curb irresponsible parents who are out enjoy intimacy and then disappear to the blues after they learn of the consequences.

Fall is my favorite time of year. The leaves on the trees are changing colors and there is a crispness in the air. I love the feel of this floral stylized photo shoot at Carousel Park and Equestrian Center. Cassidy and Riley were the perfect little models. Between the white lace and cowboy boots, they captured what makes autumn weddings so incredible.
I adore working in this color palette of reds, oranges, and yellows. It just makes my heart glow. I created floral headpieces and bouquets with a rustic flare that included mums, zinnias, solidago, sedum, nine bark, ivy and seed eucalyptus. I hope that you enjoy these two girls as much as I enjoyed them.

Trump judicial nominee gives up following public embarrassment
After a year in which Senate Republicans have confirmed Donald Trump's conservative judicial nominees at a breathtaking pace, three of the president's nominations have been derailed in just the past week.
Brett Talley withdrew because of his profound lack of qualifications; Jeff Mateer's nomination ended when senators learned of his bizarre anti-LGBT animus; and yesterday, Matthew Petersen also called it quits.
Matthew Petersen, the judicial nominee who was widely ridiculed last week after a video went viral of him struggling to answer basic legal questions at his Senate confirmation hearing, withdrew from consideration on Monday.
Petersen … said in his withdrawal letter to President Donald Trump that it had "become clear to me over the last few days that my nomination has become a distraction – and that is not fair to you or your Administration."
Trump nominated Petersen for a seat on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, which carries a lifetime tenure.
Up until recently, Petersen was probably best known for his work opposing many campaign-finance limits as a Bush-appointed commissioner on the Federal Election Commission. Now, however, he's known as the guy who was quizzed by Sen. John Neely Kennedy (R-La.) about basic procedural questions – and failing miserably to pass that test.
Reflecting on the exchange during a radio interview yesterday, Kennedy said Petersen is a "really smart" and "decent guy," but added, "[J]ust because you've seen 'My Cousin Vinny' doesn't qualify you to be a federal judge."
But as striking as it is to see three Trump judicial nominees fail in a week – following a year in which zero other judicial nominations were derailed – let's not miss the forest for the trees: who's vetting these guys?
Remember, as part of the process, the White House, often in consultation with home-state senators, sends judicial nominees to Capitol Hill for confirmation ostensibly because the president and his team believe they deserve a lifetime position on the federal bench. In theory, before a nomination is formalized, the White House subjects would-be judges to some kind of scrutiny, evaluating their qualifications, among other things.
With that in mind, can Trump World offer some kind of explanation as to who keeps dropping the ball? Or is this a situation in which officials in the West Wing don't much care about judicial nominees' qualifications and simply expect the Republican-led Senate to rubber-stamp those who enjoy the president's backing?

Good timeing
It looks like you can sign up for the panels, and you can donate separately to the NORML fundraiser for Philly.
By Saturday, I'm bushed and still have work that needs to get done on the weekends, and often. That's when the laundry, cleaning, yard, groceries, errands, and the whole nine yards gets done. Then it's a long drive, or an impractical drive for people hundreds of miles away. My point is donate to the Philly fundraiser. I'll donate because I want another state to legalize. I'm happy to help Pennsylvania become the next car on the cannabis train. (I prefer not to look at it like the next domino to fall. Cannabis legalization will help us move away from prohibition, and build a more open society.)
I mean, shit, we really really really need that money. Pennsylvania is really messed up. People are asking where the next bridge will collapse in the state because the minister or transport was on talking about a shitload more of weight restricted bridges. That means reducing the weight allowed on the bridge from what is was built to handle, or what it currently is. It could be the bridge is already weight-restricted, and will be further reduced/restricted. The pension is in the shitter. City schools are bleeding for cash.
Will this be on PCN? On C-SPAN? I mean, I want to watch it. Are you going to be selling DVDs of the various speakers and the Q & A?
I'm sure the pigs will have their moles there, their plants, getting pictures of everyone. It's what a modern Stasi would do so why should American federal law enforcement function any differently? The Lives of the Others.
I mean, you got a multi-state thing going on. You could put it on History or Discovery, keep the drumbeat of cannabis shows and series going. How's about an East Coast version of Weeds? Why not? Run it up the flagpole and see if it will improve ratings? Too bad NBC is too pussy to put it on their network television. That could tip the tide. Who knows?
I'm still deciding. You may get only a donation. Binghampton's a long drive.
if you release Helium Balloons this Spring with Happy Seeds Scotch Taped to them DON'T put your Name or Logo on the balloons
I am assuming it is ok to just do parts of the conference? I only have a sitter for a few hours and am most interested in Senator Leach's speech as well as the "Pot & Politics" segment. I have never attended a Norml conference so I am just curious if anyone knows.
Dear friends at norml,
I would like to ask that you strongly consider streaming these conferences online. Like some others have pointed out, not everyone can be available to visit the conference personally. They have their reasons, I have mine and all are equally valid while all of us would really like to participate in the reform movement. Myself personally, I am a college student and I condense my class schedule to the weekends so that I may work during the week to support myself and my partner. After telling her about this conference she advised me to drop everything and go but this is not exactly reasonable when you're pursuing an engineering degree. But I digress.
These conferences are a valuable resource to Americans in the interest of marijuana reform, not just along the east coast but nationally who want to take to the streets and become active members of a legitimate community. Furthermore these conferences can be useful to ensure that information disseminated second-hand be accurate and beneficial to our cause and not more rhetoric and hearsay than already exists.
Please consider making these conferences widely available, some options include a live stream to your website or posting the conferences by session on youtube. While some negative attention is always to be expected we should not let this misguided backlash deter you from extending your reach further into the public. The availability of these conferences online can grow public awareness to norml and perhaps even help persons looking for answers to their own questions to make informed decisions.
I remain fervently your supporter,
[Editor's note: NORML's national conference were broadcast online from 2009-2011. Whenever possible, NORML-related events are broadcast online live…and versions of recorded conferences are archived online. Efforts are being made to broadcast the mid-atlantic regional from Philly on 3/16.]
I have tickets to the fundraiser, but haven't received any word about where "private venue" is located or the start time!
