Actions speak louder
"Corporate Citizenship is central to everyone in our business, it is part of the way we work and who we are"
— Alastair Blair
At Accenture we believe that one of the most important things we can do as a business is to improve the way the worlds work and live by contributing to communities and environment in which we live and work in. There are 3 main pillars to the work we do in Corporate Citizenship – Skills to Succeed, Environmental Stewardship and our volunteering programme, Making a Difference.
Through our Skills to Succeed programme we aim to help vulnerable and marginalised groups in Ireland to build the skills they need to access lasting and meaningful employment or to build a business. Through our programme of work we aim to supporting the creation of jobs, improving job skills and employability, and contributeing to the economic success of this country by creating a more equal and inclusive society.
Accenture's environmental strategy is focused on fostering sustainable economic growth for our company and clients. Through more efficient and intelligent digital technologies – and by encouraging the ingenuity of our people as they embrace new ways of working – we will achieve our environmental goals for 2020 and do our part to ensure a brighter future for our planet.
A decade into our quest to lesson our environmental impact, thinking – and acting – green is part of daily life at Accenture. We are helping to accelerate the shift to a low-carbon economy and to lessen the affects of climate change.
- 52% reduction in per employee carbon emissions on 2007 baseline – achieving 2020 goal of 50% ahead of schedule.
- 4% approximate reduction in air travel carbon emissions per employee from fiscal 2016
- 76% of our key suppliers disclosed emissions reductions actions and 72% disclosed targets
Making A Difference is how Corporate Citizenship enables our people to invest their time and resources to improve the way the world works and lives. In Ireland, all full time employees are given 2 paid volunteering days each fiscal year. We have responded to our people's desire to see and feel personal impact so they can use these days to give back to causes that deliver a positive social and / or environmental impact.

Is it just me, or did John Boehner look gassy and drunk during the State of the Union? There he sat, behind Obama, looking as if he had fallen asleep on the tanning bed, then spent the pre-speech hours eating bad food and drinking martinis.
It was a struggle to watch the speech. Last year I was gung ho, but after getting punch drunk on the one-two of the sour economy and the November elections, I just didn't feel like there was much for Obama to say to me. I debated blowing it off. I was in the middle of streaming Monarch of the Glen when the appointed speechifying arrived. I decided to at least turn it on in the background, after all Big O is my guy. Then I decided to watch the first 15 minutes, then the next 15, then another. Eventually I watched the whole damn thing. So the obvious conclusion is I'm gonna say, "It was so wonderful I just couldn't stop, blah blah blah…" I'm not going to say that. It never was a particularly satisfying speech (to me at any rate), and I only watched to the bitter end because I kept waiting for him to address the high unemployment, and bad economy. I mean really address them, not just bandy about platitudes.
There is nothing wrong, per se, with the speech – he is doing exactly what these modern times call for: basically a campaign speech – "We're gonna do this", "America is great", "However, we've got to do better";"The American people are asking us to…blah blah blah." But as other pundits have pointed out elsewhere, these really aren't technical speeches about the current state of the country. And for some reason that was what I really wanted this time around. Like the formulaic rock ballads of the 70s and 80s, SOTUSes have taken on a simple form: introduce a lofty (yet generic, and vague on details) goal, for example supporting small business, talk about how important it is to America, how awesome our innovators are, then stress the important supporting legislation you will propose in the coming year. Finally, laud the accomplishments of a special guest in the audience you've trucked in to be the shining example (Joe Blow from Pennsylvania, whose marvelous drill bits helped save the Chilean Miners). Rinse and repeat.
Well. Aren't I just a sour puss. Maybe SOTUSes have always been that way, I'm not a historian.
I was also I bit embarrassed by how rah rah America it was. Don't they know it is watched by the whole world? How about a little quiet dignity. Proud but more subtle.
So buying into the speech as it was (not as I wished it were), what sticks in my mind? (Besides Boehner's bloated red glassy-eyed face?) Well, what most stuck out as very interesting, was his plan to contract the eleven executive departments into a smaller, leaner, cabinet, with fewer bureaus. I don't remember his time table for this, but he will establish a commission to study the problem. He wants less redundancy across all the departments, and introduced the subject by complaining about how salmon are regulated by the Dept. of Agriculture while they are in our rivers, then by NOAA when they migrate to the ocean, and finally by someone else (he didn't specify) when they are smoked. I dunno…does that seem that bad? It doesn't bother me. I'm not against a more efficient government, with reduced redundancy, but salmon are a bad example, me thinks. I saw elsewhere a hilarious tag cloud formed out of the SOTUS words most memorable to NPR listeners. Front and center, in large type was the word "salmon."
Another thing that stood out to me was all the talk about high speed rail. I think a lot of Americans desire a replacement for the can-do, morale-boosting, engineer-employing Space Race of the 1960s. Personally, I am leery of high speed rail. I need to be convinced that we really need it. Anybody who has ever been to Europe (including me) has become a fan of passenger trains – boy you can go anywhere for a buck! However, I've heard that our freight rails are the envy of Europe. Europe moves people, we move commerce. Is high speed rail going to come on line just when telecommuting takes off? Outside of California, and the Atlantic Northeast, what can high speed rail do that airplanes can't? America is not Europe, it is not Japan. I'm not saying no, I'm just saying convince me.
The final thing that stuck in my mind, is that for all the talk (after last year's SOTUS) that the Supremes don't need to be there, and Big O was out of line for criticizing their approval of unlimited corporate campaign speech (and I agree with that criticism), there they were again. I didn't expect the Supremes to be back in attendance. It was interesting watching them: They never stood up for any of the standing ovations except the applause for our armed forces; They seemed forced and unhappy about it, like, "We better stand up or people will think we hate soldiers."
Speaking of last year, I did write a post, back then, and it was much more positive, and much much shorter. Funny how negativity breeds long-windedness. Last year's post is linked here. So what stuck out to me last year? Well, the Supremes for one thing, and also nuclear energy – which got a passing mention again this year. But another was DADT, and Obama's wish to repeal that in the coming year. Guess what? It happened. I am happy to end on that positive note. WTG Big O.

Christian Voice turns fire on Christian radio station
A civil war appears to have broken out between opponents of "Jerry Springer: The Opera" with anti-gay group Christian Voice claiming it has been 'publicly attacked' and 'stabbed in the back' by a well known London Christian station and Christian magazine.
Both Premier Radio and Christian Voice campaigned against the broadcast on BBC2 of the satirical programme "Jerry Springer: The Opera" earlier this year.
Stephen Green of Christian Voice in particular came to media attention when his internet site helped stoke up a furore about the broadcast.
But in a Press Release last week Peter Kerridge of Premier Radio and John Buckeridge of the Premier-owned 'Christianity' and 'Youthwork' magazines announced that they had written to the BBC expressing concern about the groups 'fundamentalist' views prior to its national director's appearance on BBC1's Question Time programme.
Peter Kerridge said; 'From previous experience, the BBC are aware of Stephen Green's reputation for making inflammatory comments and we are concerned that the motivation to have him as a panellist on Question Time is to provoke further provocative and extreme comments which BBC viewers may assume represent mainstream Christian opinion."
Kerridge and Buckeridge were not alone in their concern about Stephen Green's appearance. The Moderator of the United Reformed Church also issued a statement saying Christian Voice had "the right to express its extreme views, but it is as representative of Christian opinion in Britain as the Monster Raving Loony Party would be of mainstream political parties - and far less entertaining.'
But in his own press release issued at the weekend, Christian Voice's Stephen Green said; "I can't see any evidence of any love or unity of Spirit whatsoever in the Premier Press Release. Christian Voice has always supported Premier in their various battles, simply because they are fellow believers. We would defend and unite behind Christianity Today (see note 1) if they came under fire. To have Peter Kerridge and John Buckeridge reward that support by condemning us out of hand, with no prior warning, in public, in this unbecoming way, certainly feels like a betrayal."
He continued; "To be honest, I am still shocked by the attack. I had no idea there was such animosity to me and to Christian Voice festering in the Premier Radio headquarters. Evangelical Christians are used to attacks from the world (John 15:18), but to be hated and stabbed in the back by one's brothers is very hard to take."
Christian Voice was widely condemned for facilitating the intimidation of BBC staff over Jerry Springer - The Opera by publicising their contact details. It subsequently apologised for doing this.
However CV went on to exert pressure on a Scottish charity to refuse a £3,000 donation that would help cancer sufferers, because cast members from the Jerry Springer show had been involved in raising it.
National Director Stephen Green also caused widespread offence by declining to offer compensation to the cancer sufferers, and by saying that he wished to reverse the stereotype of Christianity as 'a religion for women and wimps'.
In June 2005 the Co-Op Bank decided to withdraw its facilities from Christian Voice because the organisation did not fit with its ethical criteria.
CV has always refused to say how many supporters it has, but they are thought to number no more than a few hundred. Jerry Springer - The Opera co-writer Stewart Lee says it is 'a crazy fringe groupÖ which discredits itself by its own rhetoric' and has given his show 'unprecedented coverage'.
In addition to his BBC surprise appearance on Question Time, the Christian Voice director also makes a somewhat less-than-flattering cameo appearance in this month's issue of the famously puerile adult comic Viz, where he appears to be on the data base of 'Club Cretinus, Britain's No 1 dating agency for unintelligent people'.
Note 1 - In his press release Stephen Green refers to 'Christianity Today' magazine. This is in fact a separate publication which has nothing to do with Premier Radio. It is believed that Green was in fact meaning Christianity magazine which is owned by Premier Radio.

Weather: Spring has arrived, but by the Midwest Definition: If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes and it'll change. We've been from the 40s to the 80s and back again, sometimes in the same day. Hoping June will be more stable.
So the title of this post is a little on the nose. Since I had my brain hemorrhage in December of last year, little repercussions have been rearing their ugly heads.
Two months out, I had my final angiogram….and had a massive allergic reaction to the dye.
Three months out, my hair started falling out in clumps. It's started growing back in, thank goodness.
Now, I've developed a chronic hoarseness in my voice, which has been diagnosed by my ENT doctor (Ear, Nose & Throat) as a polyp on my vocal cord, which I am having surgically removed in June. After which I won't be allowed to speak for a week. At ALL. (I'm going to have to tape my mouth shut. )
Other than the above things, I haven't had any brain related hiccups. Maybe some mood swings, but not much else. All in all, I'm taking the ripples in the pool in stride. I just hope by Summer, I'll have shaken off any more of these little quakes. Tired of having my activities curtailed, even slightly, by health foo.
Husbeast and I walked to Lion's Beach the other night. WALKED. TO THE BEACH. (Happiest words I've ever spoken) Had our first beach therapy evening, watching the sun lowering over the lake. Sat on a bench, his arm around me. Was the most peaceful I've felt in a while. We stopped for ice cream on the way home. I'm hoping for a lot more evenings like that.
I finished my huge sun mosaic piece that I've been working on since I returned to the studio after the brain foo. It's not perfect, but it's close to what I saw in my head, so I'm happy with it. I have three other pieces I need to start working on. Starting to see a trend towards geometrics and I'm playing with changing up my tessera cuts for different effects. Also will be working on my first 3D piece. Scary but exciting.
In general I'm in a good headspace about most things, though I'd be lying if I said I'm not going to be relieved once my surgery is done. Just want to get back to focusing on the art and the house and the garden again.
For a short trip into derailment, my thinky thoughts recently have been coming to the realization that I'm really too exhausted to be outraged anymore. It's all I seem to see everywhere. Not that the topics being raised aren't eyebrow raising or worthy of a good old fashioned shade throwing, but I just see some people spending all their energy and time trying to find things to be upset about. I know there's bad in the world, and awful people. I also know that the media and politicians are out of a job if they can't keep people scared or angry. I guess I'm just flummoxed as to why everyone keeps dancing to their music?
If you see something that bothers you, either do something to make it better, or step away from it. Yelling online and bashing people with the guilt trowel because they don't get as upset as you DOESN'T FIX ANYTHING. Yes, yes…..You're raising awareness. Just like the other 50 angry people posting the same clickbait link with no suggestions or solutions attached. Sigh. Tired, as I said.
I'm starting to see no difference in people yelling from the left or the right. Each have their boogeymen. Each have valid points. Neither seem all that interested in compromising or working together to fix it. (I'm mostly talking about the frothy extreme edges, not the mostly moderates that seem only bemused by the noise and are actually trying to do things.)
And I'm not just talking politics — NerdRage is at an all time high and fandoms seem to only be civil for one season before turning into toxic wastelands of death threats and shipper wars. I used to be amused by it, now I'm just annoyed. Everyone seems to have forgotten how to enjoy things. Valid criticism is one thing. Crazy entitlement issues are another. And don't get me started on Tumblr. No seriously…There be monsters. Scary Scary ANGRY monsters. I'll end this here, because otherwise I'll accidentally mention something that will draw the nutjobs and I'd rather not have to dust off my ban hammer.
::gets the train back on track::
I'm trying to be patient, waiting for all the health detritus to shake out. But I don't want that waiting to turn to "laying on the couch, binge-watching Netflix and letting the rest of my health go to hell". It's easy to do, and so is making excuses for not doing things that require a little effort and a little sacrifice. Money situations are not fixed by sitting around navel-gazing. Art doesn't get made if it stays in your head or only on paper. Novels don't get written just by talking about them.
And Heidi doesn't get better by sitting around, hoping that her body will magically become well.
Everything in life takes effort. Everything. And as Kevin Smith has pointed out today, happiness is being productive. It's not a destination, it's a journey. If you're not careful, you'll end up wistful and chasing the ephemeral idea of happiness, and miss when it actually comes your way.
Sort of disjointed writing today, but I'm having a kind of disjointed week. More coherent thoughts next time.

The Department of Linguistics offers a dual A.B./M.A. degree program (part of UGA's DoubleDawgs initiative) that students can complete in 5 years.
Eligible students can apply for admission to the dual-degree pathway at any time – applications are accepted and processed on a rolling basis. Students admitted to the pathway will normally begin taking graduate classes during their fourth year, for a total of four courses/12 hours that can be used to satisfy requirements for both the A.B. and M.A. degrees. During the fourth year students will also apply for admission to the M.A. program in Linguistics, and will complete the remaining M.A. degree requirements in their fifth year of study.
Application Process
Who is eligible to apply to the dual-degree pathway?
Linguistics majors who:
have completed LING 3060 and LING 3150
have completed 60 hours or more of undergraduate coursework
have a minimum GPA of 3.5 in LING courses and a cumulative GPA of 3.0
Note: if you are already in your final year of your undergraduate degree and/or have already completed the majority of the required coursework for your Linguistics major, the dual-degree pathway will probably not benefit you; you need to have room to take 12 hours of graduate coursework in Linguistics after being admitted to the dual-degree pathway and before you receive your A.B. degree. Contact Dr. Langston if you have questions.
How do I apply?
Schedule a meeting with the pathway advisor:

How to Divide a Large Potted Bamboo
Bamboos are Asian natives, but many species grow in the United States. Common bamboo (Bambusa vulgaris) is troublesome because this clumping plant invades habitats and smothers surrounding vegetation. Growing bamboo in pots allows you to enjoy the foliage and stalks without the risk of ecological plant invasion. The clumps grow quickly and eventually become crowded in containers. Divide the bamboo to make room in the container, ensuring continued plant health. Plant the divisions in new pots to give as gifts or carefully dispose of unwanted divisions.
Water the plant thoroughly the night before you plan to divide the bamboo to hydrate the plant and prevent transplant shock.
Wedge a small knife or garden tool between the soil and sides of the pot. Run the tool along the edge to loosen the soil ball from the container.
Tip the pot on its side and carefully pull and twist the bamboo until it comes out of the pot.
Cut the old, clumping roots from the bottom of the root ball with a pruning saw or reciprocating saw. Saw straight through the soil, removing the bottom 1 to 2 inches of the root ball height.
Shake the excess soil from the root ball and rinse with water, if necessary, to reveal the bamboo root system. Inspect the root ball for natural points of division.
Cut the entire root ball with a pruning saw or reciprocating saw into two, three or four sections, depending on the amount of crowding in the pot, the size of the plant and the number of divisions desired. If you cut about halfway through the soil ball, you can usually pull the plant apart with your hands, making it easier to follow the natural points of division.
Cut away and discard any old, rotten or otherwise damaged roots to encourage healthy new growth and discourage fungal infection in the new divisions.
Plant one of the divided sections in the original container or a larger container, if desired, and add new soil as needed to reach the original planting depth.
Plant the remaining divisions in new containers at the original planting depth. If you don't wish to keep new potted plants, give them as gifts to friends. If you prefer to dispose of them, put the discarded plants in a compost pile after they have dried out and died; the plants may set root in the compost if discarded before they are dead.
Water the newly planted divisions thoroughly and repeat frequently to keep the soil moist but not soaking wet.
Things Needed
- Small knife
- Pruning saw or reciprocating saw
- Scissors
- Pruning shears
- You should be able to divide the bamboo while maintaining the tall bamboo stalks, but if they get in your way, you can cut the stalks back to ground level. New shoots emerge when you replant the rhizomes, but the plant may take several years to return to its former size.

Author: Pooja Chandwani
I have never been a big fan of appealing to someone's emotional side, or engineer a response from someone based on sentiments. It to me always has and will feel like a manipulation of sorts and is termed as such – argumentum ad passiones or appeal to emotion is a logical fallacy characterised by the manipulation of recipient's emotions in order to win an argument or state a point. So let's stay away from that for next few minutes, shall we? I will try and present facts and talk about effectively supporting certain charities, effective being the keyword.
Animal Welfare is an area that is hugely important due to its scale and neglectedness. Over 56 billion farmed animals are killed every year by humans (Ref: http://www.animalequality.net/food) which excludes the 80 billion farmed fish, farmed being the operative word. If you have ever watched an animal rights group covert videos you know many of the current practices within animal agriculture are likely to cause extreme suffering over the course of many animals' lives. Speciesism – assigning different inherent values, rights, or considerations to individuals based on species membership – may bias us to value animals less than they might deserve.
Although the overall field of animal welfare receives a large volume of donations, most of that money goes to the comparatively few animals in shelters, laboratories, etc. Relatively little funding goes to addressing the impacts of industrial agriculture on animal welfare. These factors make this area particularly neglected.
The chart shows how little of the money actually makes it to animal charities, what's worse, 98% of this tiny amount is then allocated to charities that help only cats and dogs. I am not saying that we shouldn't help our furry little friends, I am just bringing the fact that not much is done here to notice.
What we are going to talk about today is to look into the areas that have greatest impact with helping these animals. Doing good is not enough. Doing good effectively is what counts. Doing good effectively is a principle applied by EA (Effective Altruism). Effective altruism is a philosophy and social movement that applies evidence and reason to determine the most effective ways to benefit others, in our case we will just talk about animals. Effective altruism encourages individuals to consider all causes and actions and to act in the way that brings about the greatest positive impact, based upon their values (here the value is to reduce animal suffering). It is the broad, evidence-based approach that distinguishes effective altruism from traditional altruism or charity.
Many effective altruists believe that reducing animal suffering should be a major priority and that, at the current margin, there are cost-effective ways of accomplishing this. Peter Singer (whose philosophy gave rise to EA moment) quotes estimates by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the British organization Fishcount per which 60 billion (not far a figure from earlier stated animal equality group), land animals are slaughtered and between 1 and 2.7 trillion individual fish are killed each year for human consumption. He argues that effective animal welfare altruists should prioritize factory farming over more overfunded popular causes such as pet welfare. Singer also argues that, if farm animals such as chickens are assigned even a modicum of consciousness, efforts to reduce factory farming (for example, by reducing global meat consumption) could be an even more underfunded and cost-effective way of reducing current global suffering than human poverty reduction. Philosophically, wild animal suffering may be an additional moral concern for effective altruists.
Animal Charity Evaluators (https://animalcharityevaluators.org/) (ACE, formerly called Effective Animal Activism) is an organization connected with the movement that evaluates and compares various animal charities based on their cost-effectiveness and transparency, particularly those that are tackling factory farming. Faunalytics (formerly the Humane Research Council) is an organization loosely affiliated with the movement that conducts independent research on important animal welfare topics, provides resources for advocates and donors, and works with animal protection organizations to evaluate their work.
Let's quickly look at the philosophy behind the organization:
1. No individual should be given less than full moral consideration on the basis of any morally irrelevant feature of their identity, and this includes species membership.
2. All other morally relevant factors being equal, the best (most morally good) action is the one that results in the highest net welfare.
3. Empirical research can help us determine which action is best.
The full page outlining ACE's philosophical commitments can be found here.
Before we go into what according to ACE is considered effective, it's good to look at how do they do their evaluation in the first place:
Evaluation Process:
Their evaluation process consists of several rounds in which they consider progressively fewer charities in progressively greater detail. They give basic consideration to a very large number of groups, conduct exploratory reviews of a smaller number, and then conduct comprehensive reviews of a small group of likely candidates for their recommendations.
After conducting these rounds of evaluation, they update their recommendations and the reviews are published on their site. All their Top and Standout Charities have received comprehensive reviews, but not all charities for which they have written comprehensive reviews are in these categories.
For further information I would highly recommend checking out their website where they have explained in detail how they conduct each of these evaluation phases. They also talk about the criteria they use for the said evaluation. Let's have a quick look at the criterion:
1. The charity has room for more funding and concrete plans for growth. It has plans that cannot be fully accomplished with the expected funding from other sources, and the barriers to accomplishing those plans are monetary, not due to time, a lack of qualified personnel, or other non-monetary issues. Receiving money from donors directed by ACE would be very likely to increase the charity's total impact.
2. The charity engages in programs that seem likely to be highly impactful. Without considering the specific implementation, the interventions pursued by the charity are among those expected to be highly effective. Often this information will come partly from their intervention evaluation process. At the very least, the charity is working in a domain with high potential for efficiency (for instance, farm animal advocacy) or is working in another domain with methods that appear to be exceptionally cost-effective.
3. The charity operates cost-effectively, according to our best estimates. Considering the charity's budget and its demonstrated successes, it appears to be cost-effective in the goal of reducing animal suffering, relative to other charities. If these calculations were produced with perfect information, they would be the only factor necessary to consider beyond room for more funding. However, because their calculations are necessarily estimates, corroborative evidence is required. Read more about their cost-effectiveness estimates.
4. The charity possesses a strong track record of success. The charity has a record of successful achievement of incremental goals or of demonstrated progress towards larger goals. Note that this implies the charity has been in existence for some length of time. While very young charities may have strong potential to return large results for small initial amounts of funding, donating to charities without track records is inherently risky.
5. The charity identifies areas of success and failure and responds appropriately. The charity has both short and long term goals and can articulate signs that indicate whether they are moving towards or away from their goals. Regular self-assessments guide the charity's program development. If applicable, the organization has responded appropriately in the past to signs that a program was not succeeding. Furthermore, they are able to innovate effectively: they regularly try small and large changes to programs, identify which changes improve outcomes, and act on that information.
6. The charity has strong leadership and a well-developed strategic vision. The current leaders of the charity seem competent and well-respected. The charity's overall mission puts a strong emphasis on effectively reducing suffering, and the charity responds to new evidence with that goal in mind, revisiting their strategic plan regularly to ensure they stay aligned with that mission.
7. The charity has a healthy culture and a sustainable structure. The charity is stable and sustainable under ordinary conditions, and seems likely to survive the transition should some of the current leadership move on to other projects. The charity acts responsibly to stakeholders including staff, volunteers, donors, and others in the community. In particular, staff and volunteers develop and grow as advocates due to their relationship with the charity.
Let's round this up with the charities they endorse:
Among these let's look a little more into the first 3 that made the list:
Mercy For Animals
What does Mercy For Animals do?
Mercy For Animals (MFA) engages in a variety of farmed animal advocacy programs, often involving filming or promoting footage from their undercover investigations of factory farms. They promote investigation footage primarily through the media and online campaigns. MFA also engages in legal work and corporate campaigns on behalf of animals, and they conduct grassroots outreach designed to change individuals' attitudes and behavior towards farmed animals. Read more on ACE's website.
The Good Food Institute
What does The Good Food Institute do?
The Good Food Institute (GFI) is working to transform the animal agriculture industry by promoting the development of competitive alternatives to animal-based meat, dairy, and eggs. GFI seeks out entrepreneurs and scientists to join or form start-ups in the plant-based and cultured1 meat (i.e. meat grown in a culture without animal slaughter) market sectors. They provide business, legal, scientific, and strategic guidance for plant-based and cellular companies, and they engage in policy work (regulatory and statutory) to level the playing field for plant-based and cellular products in the marketplace. GFI builds relationships with chain restaurants, grocery stores, and foodservice companies to improve and promote plant-based alternatives to animal products. Finally, GFI works with grant-making institutions, corporations, and governments to mobilize resources for research in synthetic and plant biology and tissue engineering. Read more on ACE's website.
The Humane League
What does The Humane League do?
The Humane League (THL) engages in a variety of programs that aim to persuade individuals and organizations to adopt behaviors that reduce farmed animal suffering. THL's largest programs, based on their budget, are their corporate campaigns and grassroots outreach. They encourage corporations to shift to policies dictating a higher animal welfare standard and they educate the public using leaflets and online videos. THL also works with schools to implement Meatless Monday programs, presents humane education lectures to students, and trains college activists. Read more on ACE's website.
Now that we have covered what charities are best to put your money into, let's look at making the process more effective too.
Pledging to give.
It's easy to intend to give a significant amount to charity, but it can be hard to follow through. One way we can hold ourselves to account is to take a public pledge to give.
Giving What We Can has a pledge that asks people to give 10 per cent of their lifetime income to the organizations that will make the biggest improvements to the world. The Life You Can Save has a similar pledge, starting at 1% of annual income to organizations' fighting the effects of extreme poverty and / or animal cruelty.
Taking Action:
The best thing you can do is set a first goal for cutting back that fits within your lifestyle. This step-wise graphic can help!
The next step is to read our Starter Kit – it gives practical advice for those living in Singapore and will set you up for success! You can also help out in other ways via our website at http://AnimalAllies.sg/Action
I would finally like to end with a quote very aptly put forward by Jonathon Safran Foer: "Just how destructive does a culinary preference have to be before we decide to eat something else? If contributing to the suffering of billions of animals that live miserable lives and (quite often) die in horrific ways isn't motivating, what would be? If being the number one contributor to the most serious threat facing the planet (global warming) isn't enough, what is? And if you are tempted to put off these questions of conscience, to say not now, then when?"

Oxford Brookes University's School of Life Sciences (oxford, UK) has a Post-Doctoral Research Assistant position available in the laboratory of Dr. John Runions. The position is funded by BBSRC for 3 years to study interactions between proteins of the plasma membrane and the actin cytoskeleton in plant cells. Recent reports suggest that cell surface proteins can physically interact with the actin cytoskeleton. These interactions are potentially important in cell signalling and in structuring the plasma membrane. The successful applicant will evaluate the role of actin cytoskeleton in membrane protein dynamics using advanced confocal microscopy techniques such as photoactivation of green fluorescent protein and motion tracking in timelapse images. See: Runions et al., Photoactivation of GFP reveals protein dynamics within the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Journal of Experimental Botany. 57: 43-50. As well as confocal microscopy, main duties of the position will include; construction of molecular biological vectors for plant-cell transformation , analysis of protein dynamics using software such as Volocity and ImageJ, and some mathematical modelling using the protein dynamics data. The position requires a PhD in molecular biology or biochemistry and preference will be given to those that have experience in plant cell biology and confocal microscopy. You should be able to work independently and should possess good organisational and communication skills. Oxford Brookes University is situated in Oxford, England.

Indian police kill two in Kashmir demo
January 11, 2010 Leave a comment
Indian troops have killed two suspected militants in Kashmir during clashed on Sunday, as demonstrators held the second day of protests over the death of a Muslim youth.
The suspected militants were killed during clashes with Indian troops in the southern Reasi district, army spokesman Biplab Bath told AFP.
The clashed erupted during demonstrations over the Friday incident in Srinagar, in which Inayat Ahmad was fatally shot by India's paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force. Eight others sustained injuries when the police used tear gas to push the crowd back.
Chanting anti-India slogans, hundreds of Kashmiris stormed the streets in defiance of a police ban on demonstrations following the death of the 16-year-old.
"They killed our son. What was his fault? He was killed on his way home from school," a protesting relative told Press TV on Saturday.
Over the past two decades, the conflict in Kashmir has left over 47,000 people dead by the official count, although other sources say the death toll could be as high as 90,000.
"We are protesting against the Indian occupation as we do not want to live with India. We are occupied here. We are showing the world that we want to be free and want to be independent," another Kashmiri demonstrator was quoted as saying on Saturday.

Age UK has recently produced a study regarding loneliness in later life, which has highlighted how serious the loneliness crisis in the UK has become. The study showed that 1 million elderly people in the UK often or always feel lonely, with nearly half of over 65's saying that the television or their pets are their closest companions.
A concerning statistic from this research is the fact that loneliness can have an impact on health. Researchers have found that being lonely can be as harmful as smoking 15 cigarettes a day; then there's the fact that people who are extremely lonely have double the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
The fact is that loneliness is a major problem for older people and can have a significant impact on their health, happiness and quality of life, which is why tackling loneliness is so essential. One option for helping to alleviate loneliness with older people is either choosing to employ a 24-hour live-in carer or moving the person to a residential care home. The question is, of course, which is best?
Residential care or 24-hour live-in care?
Residential care homes can offer good quality care; however, they can lack that personal feel. Residents are part of a community, which can be nice, but it doesn't always mean that they feel comfortable or happy there. Not everyone is content living in this kind of group environment; many older people prefer to be in their own homes and can feel more lonely in care environments than they do at home.
In residential care homes, the carers are always changing, which can make it difficult for residents to form attachments to them. Family and friends can visit but seldom frequently, which can again make loneliness worse.
On the other hand, 24-hour live-in care offers older people the chance to continue living in their own homes – an environment where they feel, comfortable, safe and in control – with one carer staying with them 24-hours a day. This kind of approach can be a better option, as it can allow older people to remain in their homes, with their own things around them, without living alone.
Carers can offer companionship to people living alone, as well as providing them with care and helping to ensure that they remain safe. When an older person sees the same carer on a constant basis, they start to build bonds with them and friendships are born. It's this closeness between live-in carers and elderly people that can help to tackle loneliness and prevent the array of problems associated with it.
When deciding between residential care and hiring a 24-hour carer, it's important to consider what would make the person more comfortable. In most cases, live-in care is the answer to this.

ClojureScript: Up and Running
We are thrilled to see the hard work of two of our team, Stuart Sierra and Luke VanderHart, pay off with the release of ClojureScript: Up and Running. Writing a book is hard work; writing one that makes it to print is harder; doing that while holding down a full-time job is damn near impossible. They pulled it off. Stuart also talks about the book on the Relevance Podcast.
O'Reilly has been kind enough to provide promo code CJSUR that can be used on their website for 40% off the print copy and 50% off the ebook. This code will expire on Feb. 1, 2013 at 2 am and cannot be used for any bundled purchases.
More information about the book:
Learn how to build complete client-side applications with ClojureScript, the Clojure language variant that compiles to optimized JavaScript. This hands-on introduction shows you how ClojureScript not only has similarities to JavaScript—without the flaws—but also supports the full semantics of its parent language. You'll delve into ClojureScript's immutable data structures, lazy sequences, first-class functions, macros, and support for JavaScript libraries.
- Start writing ClojureScript code with the Leiningen build system
- Learn how the ClojureScript compiler works to produce optimized JavaScript
- Use JavaScript functions and libraries directly from ClojureScript code
- Explore functions in Clojure's sequence library such as map, reduce, and filter
- Use macros to define new control structures or embed domain-specific languages
- Compile manually or script your own workflow with ClojureScript's compiler tools
- Integrate ClojureScript with Clojure on the JVM to build powerful client-server applications
No previous experience with Clojure or ClojureScript is necessary. If you're familiar with JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and the DOM, you'll quickly discover that ClojureScript has the same reach as JavaScript, but with more power.

We will create a new LIS web site that's easy to use and easy to maintain. We'll do much of the work ourselves, but we'll call on others when we need additional skills and expertise. We'll determine not only the site's appearance, but also a workflow for creation and maintenance of content. User testing and ongoing assessment will inform our decisions.
1 thought on "Vision Statement Ideas: Carrie"
Jessica Isler
"We'll do much of the work ourselves…"–I posted a question about this point to the Wiki category LIS website discussion section. To summarize what I said there:
My understanding is that as a team, we'll be deciding what work needs to be done, how it will be done, and negotiating resources (human and otherwise) to get it done, but that as a team, we may not be doing much of the work of getting the website up and running ourselves.
Some of us, however, will be doing this work (that the team decides) because that is our functional role within LIS (but not because that is our role as a team member).↓

anatol girs and "we were in auschwitz" by siedlecki, olszewski, borowski
Written by Janusz Nel Siedlecki, Krystyn Olszewski, and Tadeusz Borowski but widely attributed to Borowski (a note in Postal indiscretions: The Correspondence of Tadeusz Borowski, edited by Tadeusz Drewnowski and translated by Alicia Nitecki states that Borowski became "not only the author of the few stories for which he is known, but also the author of texts based on the other people's accounts, co-author of most of the other stories, and also of the editing work (preface, dictionary, forewords to the stories, etc.)"), We Were in Auschwitz (also translated by Nitecki) was largely the brainchild of Anatol Girs, a graphic artist and publisher who Borowski met in 1945 while both were imprisoned in Dachau (Prior to being moved to Dachau, Girs, like Borowski, was also imprisoned in Auschwitz) and with whom Borowski worked at the Polish Red Cross in Munich immediately after the war. It was Girs who encouraged Borowski, known primarily as a poet, to write prose (his stark and wrenching poems, many of which were written at Auschwitz, unfortunately remain unpublished in an English translation although some can be found online).
We Were in Auschwitz (Byliśmy w Oświęcimiu) was published in 1946 in Munich by Girs' Oficyna Warszawska na Obczyznie. His evocative design for the cover reproduced the prison stripes of the camp uniforms and, incredibly, some unknown quantity of copies were actually bound with fabric from concentration camp uniforms themselves (a 2002 exhibit at Yale University on the work of Girs curated by Jae Jennifer Rossman displayed two such copies owned by Girs' daughter Barbara). The copy on the left is in the collection on Professor Nitecki. The red triangle denotes, in the classification system used at Auschwitz and elsewhere, a "political" prisoner, (meaning almost certainly a Polish national); the number 6643 was the actual camp number of Janusz Siedlecki. The title page prominently lists the camp number of each author next to his name, Borowski's, 119198, being the highest. Incidentally, the English translation by Nitecki published by Welcome Rain in 2000 faithfully reproduces the original cover. But, perhaps even more gut-wrenching than the copies bound in fabric from camp uniforms is Girs' personal copy, also in the Yale exhibit (from the collection of Barbara Girs), hand bound in leather cut from an SS officer's coat and embellished front and back with a strand of barbed wire and embossed on the spine with the image of a cracked skull.
Very special thanks to Alicia Nitecki, Jae Jennifer Rossman and Barbara Girs.

Back in October, my good Friend, who bears a SibRing was throwing a birthday party for his three year old daughter. Seeing as to how he was a good friend, I made it a priority to attend, so I got there early, and I was hanging out with my friends, and then I noticed, that they had a bouncy house, some of my friends and I looked at each other, and with the idea that when the children get here, the bouncy house won't be available, we decided to jump around in it. I did some flips and then some kids got inside, and for their safety, we, the adults, got out. But during the adults' time, my friend who was a year or two, younger than me, stopped and said, "Look at us, 4 adults jumping in a bouncy house." To which I replied, "Hey, we're the adults now, and it's up to us to decide what that means!" a quote I paraphrased from XKCD.
The following day, though, my back had disagreed with my decisions from the previous day…
I stood up the next morning and "OOO! Ahh! My Back!"
My lower back, was in pain! Walking hurts as my right leg muscles were part of the pain that was in my back; rising from sitting hurts because some of the muscles that are in pain are stabilizer muscles; leaning over hurts, because that's stretching the muscles; and squatting down to pick up things? Nothing! Looks like my back pain doesn't completely inhibit me.
So now what am I going to do? Well, last Monday, I decided to do a Zombies, Run mission, with chases and all… Heh heh, not my brightest idea, although, it felt exhilarating, pushing beyond the boundaries of pain, I learned that, however, there's a price to be paid for going beyond those limits. And the price for suppression the sensations of pain is that the pain returns with a vengeance!
Now it's Sunday and I'm still feeling the pain from that run on Monday! So this presents a very serious problem for me.
- My current NerdFitness challenge involves running which would hurt my back
- My Handstand training also seems to have ties with back pain
- The pain doesn't seem to be subsiding with the Icy Hot I'm putting on my back where the pain is
So now, here I am, trying to find ways to relieve myself of this back pain, I'm going to try some yoga to see if there's any subtle changes, but if that doesn't work, then that means that I'm in more trouble than I originally thought, and that I'll have to back down from exercising and NerdFitness altogether!

Question:A friend of mine felt that taking some vocational training as evening
classes would be a way of enhancing his opportunities (at 52) to get back to
Some excellent courses were advertised in a local paper at a local college
which also said that "The college offers free tuition ot students enrolling
on most examination and certificate courses who are unemployed and/or in
receipt of certain state benefits". So he got in touch to book a place on 3
evening classes relating to Health & Safety. To be told that he couldn't get
_any_ discount at all on these courses, but he could get 50% discount if he
took a language course such as "Conversational German".
After much digging found out that courses are funded by the FEFC
(Further Education Finance Council) who have stipulated that only courses
that are for in of excess of something like 25 hours will get full or
funding !
So where has all the money gone to provide true vocational training ?
How do those who need vocational training get it when out of work even
though it will enhance their chances of getting employment ?
Anyone out there with experience of this ? Answer:I was unemployed at 52 and got a 50% reduction on a FAETC (Further & Adult
Education Teaching Certificate) course. After 18 months (2 hours a week for
52 sessions plus course work, monitored teaching sessions and all the rest)
I had passed Stages 1 & 2 with flying colours. At the passing out ceremony
the Vice Principal of the college I attended came in and told us he was
sacking (retiring and not hiring) any tutors over 40.
The certificate did allow me to hawk my considerable business and other
experience around and I got some (very) part-time lecturing work. It's main
value was the improvement in my confidence and self-esteem. I still do some
lecturing for community education courses on antiques.

Uri's 2019 Museum highlights!
6 December 2019,
Hello humans! Uri Guide Dog here. I haven't written my dog blog for some time but that does not mean I haven't been visiting my favourite museums. In fact I have been to several special exhibitions at National Museum Cardiff.
One of them was full of live snakes in glass cages as well as skeletons and pieces of art from the museum's collection. Mum got a chance to take part in a special audio described handling session with the live snakes – yikes – but I took the opportunity to take one of the lovely members of staff for a little walk around the block and a bit of fresh air. Apparently the snakes wrapped themselves around mum's arms and I don't think that was very sensible, but I'm glad I wasn't there to see it!
We also attended the David Nash exhibition which was very interesting, particularly seeing the humans using some very doggy techniques when investigating the large chunks of wood scattered all around the large rooms. The group had special permission from the artist to touch some of the sculptures but they also stooped and sniffed as the wood all had different smells. I was a bit confused why there appeared to be full-size trees in the middle of the museum! Mum kept me well away in case I mistook them for indoor dog facilities.
We have visited St Fagans a couple of times too, including a tour of the farm and the animals. We saw some sheep being sheared which didn't look very comfortable to be honest, and I was a bit wary when mum tried to pet a cow.
I am looking forward to the next Audio Description tour on 12 December when we get to officially meet Dippy the dinosaur!

Part of a talk given by:
Elder Boyd K. PackerOf the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, in The CHURCH of JESUS CHRIST of LATTER-DAY SAINTS, November 1982
In ancient Israel records were written upon tablets of wood or scrolls
rolled upon sticks. … The stick or record of Judah—the Old Testament
and the New Testament—and the stick or record of Ephraim—the Book
of Mormon, another testament of Jesus Christ.
The scripture below, written by Ezekiel, an Old Testament Prophet,
refers to another record to come forth in the latter-days (our day)
testifying with the Bible, that Jesus is the Christ.
Says Ezekiel...
"The word of the Lord came … unto me, saying, Moreover, thou son of
man, take thee one stick (or scroll), and write upon it, for Judah
(referring to the Bible), and for the children of Israel his companions:
then take another stick (or scroll), and write upon it, for Joseph, the stick
of Ephraim (referring to the Book of Mormon), and for all the house of
Israel his companions: And join them one to another into one stick; and
they shall become one in thine hand." Ezek. 37:15–17
These sticks are now indeed … one in our hands.
Ezekiel's Prophecy Now Stands Fulfilled. (Conference Report, Oct. 1982, 73; or Ensign,
Nov. 1982, 51, 53).

Being ghetto, I've had to shop at Aldi's lately. I'll probably continue to shop there even after our finances improve though. That said, there's a problem to having cheaper food items available.
That would be the dieting FAIL. Oy, have I failed. Between skipping the gym due to my carpal tunnel issues (ok ok so admittedly, part of that is a cop out...I'm afraid of falling on the treadmill if I can't grab the rails ) and snacking much more than I should, I've gained 10 pounds. Bleh.
I primarily blame these things:
Clancy's Crispy Crunchy Corn Chips. Great googly-moogly. These things are so crazy addictive! I could eat a whole bag myself. And as you can guess by my pic, I have eaten a whole bag by myself before!
But you know what? Let's just call a spade a spade. Here's what these things really are:
I swear, Mr. Clancy is running a crack ring for us fatsos! Even my kids call these things by their true name now. If you don't believe me, go try them yourself. You'll see. But don't say I didn't warn ya.
Til next squeak,
Still running for the cheese (or why this blog still exists)
As the time in between posts has grown longer, I came to realize something. Without the past years' material, where I am now makes very little sense. What good is the destination without the journey? As Christians, so much of the best stuff that happens to us is in the times God is molding us to His image. To throw away the evidence of that process would somehow cheapen the result, I think.
So, here we are, dear friends. I think my little mousie may just have rounded a corner finally. Some things will change around here to reflect the changes in my heart. And you know what? That's ok. As much as I typically rage against anything changed in my life, I'm learning to accept the God-given ones. My prayer is that some of you may be encouraged by what you read here. Hey, you may even be challenged. And of course, if you know me, then you know you always stand a good chance of being offended too. Not intentionally, to be sure! Just know that what you find as you wander this Maze with me may surprise you as much as it does me.
All that to say this:

Say wha?? Or Dieting Fail 101
Being ghetto, I've had to shop at Aldi's lately. I'll probably continue to shop there even after our finances improve though. That said, there's a problem to having cheaper food items available.
4 Squeaks from the Maze:

Thank you for my biggest dose of laugh-out-loud today!

Hey, Mrs. P, I shop at Aldi. ;-) Great place to get some staples. I don't let myself have the junk food often, though. Just a treat now and then.
(Psst, if you crave salt and crunch, and you can have 'em, try dill pickles instead of chips. They kill the craving without most of the "bad" stuff -- except the salt, of course. )

Laurie! OMGoodness how are you? Eeeeeeee! It's so good to "see" you! ~big hug~
Thank you for brightening my day by stopping by!

TLV, oh the pickle story. Lordy. WHen I was preg with MonkeyMan, I had a moment where I binged on garlic dills and black olives. We had just begun to wean the litter of kittehs we had to hand-raise then. Mr. P. and my mom had just cracked open a can of wet litten food, and ~YARK~. Oh the smell! Not that the pickles or olives were sitting well in my stomach to begin with. (doh) The whole while I'm heaving, Mr. P. and Mom were just howling with laughter at me.
To this day (almost 8 years later) I still can't stomach pickles. Bwah.

Partners boost e-retail, reveal Hannspree deal
New distribution partnership secures rights to LCD TV brand in Middle East
Taiwan-based LCD TV manufacturer Hannspree has appointed newly launched distribution company e-retail as its exclusive distributor in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).
The announcement was made as IT distribution giants Memory Technology Corporation (MTC) and EMPA Middle East unveiled the e-retail brand as a joint venture between the two companies.
Rahb Hamidaddin, president of EMPA Middle East, said the e-retail enterprise would aim to cater to gaps in various product segments in the Middle East consumer electronics and IT markets.
"This partnership with MTC in the creation of a retail arm is part of our strategy to strengthen our operations in the region by leveraging the benefits of collective expertise and resources," he added.
e-retail will initially look to distribute Hannspree products through power retail outlets after its initial plans to pursue a more direct route-to-market were frustrated by the scarcity of affordable retail space in Dubai's shopping malls, explained MTC CEO Houssam Mobied.
"However, we are on course to open a e-retail outlet in the first half of 2007 at Festival City in Dubai with another planned for the forthcoming Dubai Mall sometime in the first quarter of 2008," he added.
"In the interim we are shipping Hannspree to major retail outlets such as Virgin Megastore. Hannspree's products are pitched a premium offerings and we believe our distribution model should reflect these aspirations in terms of how the products are displayed."
MTC also announced its intention to expand the e-retail channel operation from its Jebel Ali Free Zone base to include a customer service centre in Dubai later this year. "Customers in the region can not only expect high quality and innovative products at e-retail, they will also experience the highest levels of customer service," claimed Samer el Borhan, the general manager of e-retail.
Borhan revealed that the company was considering distributing Hannspree's entry-level product range to Middle East hypermarket retailers as part of phase two of its development plan, but would not be drawn on when this may occur. While declining to reveal sales projections, Borhan said e-retail had high expectations for the Hannspree brand, particularly in the countries of the GCC.
Both MTC and EMPA Middle East hope to leverage their combined experience of distributing consumer electronics goods in partnership with brands including Philips, Samsung and Toshiba, to successfully service Hannspree's MENA channel partners.

The Terrible Season of Samhain
the Brigid altar at the Association for the Study of Women and Mythology conference, 2010
We entered the season of Samhain in my community with the annual observance of the Ancestor Vigil, a ritual we've been doing here since the 1990s. We observe Samhain--and all the holy days--as a season, giving us time to work deeply with the energies that present themselves at each of these uniquely powerful times.
There has been no rest these long weeks in preparation for Samhain. We have laughed together when we use euphemisms like "as the veil between the worlds of matter and spirit thins" because we have not felt it to be even present for several seasons now. The Beloved Long Dead and the Ancestors seem to dog our every step and the spirits of the land seem bent on their persistent and rustic communication.
We enter this drear and holy season with expectation, planning our reserves of both energy and foodstuff. The last weeks of the old agricultural year--as well as the return of Eastern Standard Time--bring us early dark evenings and the bright stars of the early winter. We have spoken the names of our Recent Dead and set up Ancestor Altars for our beloveds who are no longer living in this rich and grieving world of matter.
Each year, after the Samhain rites are concluded and the ancient New Year welcomed in, I set aside the dog-eared page that is the Samhain list. Soon enough, I will be fetching a clean sheet of paper, scratching the year at the top and adding the First Name.
Today is that day, only days into the terrible season. Today Patricia Monaghan--beloved teacher, writer, wiseass and friend--died. She has gone across the crystal water, secure in her perfect ship, to the Land of Young, to blessed Tir Nan Og.
I have located a nice sheet of paper and am grieved to put her name at the top of this Year's Samhain list. Grieved and angry and a little lost. As many people who knew her and her work probably feel tonight. It is certain, I am not alone in my sadness.
May your passage be smooth, sister, and your way strewn with fragrant herbs. And may your Ancestors greet you as the jewel of your ancient line.

As I mentioned in my last blog entry Jen Howse and I will be making at attempt to beat the mixed tandem 100km world record on Sunday 23rd May. The record attempt will be taking place in the Velocity gym in the Village Hotel in Farnborough (Hampshire). I will try to put in a few specific training sessions over the next month to simulate the effort level that will be involved, but I don't plan on erging for anywhere near the duration we will be doing on the record attempt itself. The current record stands at a little over 6hours33, and we will be aiming to put it under 6hours30 (1:57 pace). 1:57 pace might sound pretty slow, but we need to average that pace for 6 and a half hours, including changing over on a single concept2 rowing machine so it's not a target we are taking lightly.
Our current plan is to row 5min segments for the majority of it. Respective paces of 1:52 and 2:02 would be enough for the record, but in preparation I will aim to row at 1:50 pace to give a bit of leeway. I did the first simulation type session yesterday, only a short one, with 40mins split into 5min segments of 1:50 pace and recovery rowing rather than rest between:
40mins = 10212m / 1:57.5 / 22spm
All of the "at pace" reps were 1:50 / 25spm, with the slow one ranging from 2:01 to 2:14 for one where I got off the machine and stretched a little.
Saturday I also did just a slow 40min row, but steady pace and rate throughout this time:
40mins = 10458m / 1:54.9 / 22
I was feeling lacking in energy and generally tired during both sessions, despite them being slow and easy pace. This is clearly a consequence of doing 2 hard sessions on Friday, and therefore I am having an enforced day of complete rest today.
Perhaps the biggest challenge for me in the 100k record attempt will be what and when to eat and drink to keep my energy levels up throughout the 6 1/2 hours or rowing. Doing "small team" 100k rows is very different as in a team of 10 you get much longer rests, and row for much less cumulative time. 3.25 hour of total rowing time over a 6.5 hour period, with only 5mins at a time to eat or drink anything need some more thought….

ITHACA — The view may include plenty of yellows, oranges and browns as you drive through the Finger Lakes region, but once you get to Ithaca, it's all red and white. Saga's Lite Rock 97.3 (WYXL) recently helped with a pep rally for the Cornell football team, and to bring awareness to a local organization that's got a good reason to cheer on the Big Red.
At right, Lite Rock 97.3 morning co-host Brian Stoll poses with the team's mascot and an unidentified listener.
The station's appearance was sponsored by a local bank who has pledged to make a donation to Cayuga Addiction Recovery Services every time Cornell makes a first down this season. It's called "First Downs for Second Chances." The Big Red are 2-1 as of today, and with 7 games left in the season, there's plenty of time for more first downs. You can see the rest of the pictures from the pep rally on the Lite Rock 97.3 website.

Eveready's 'Give Me Red' comeback with Akshay Kumar: Does it really shine?
Eveready's new TVC takes off from its decades-old 'Give Me Red' campaign, albeit dons a contemporary avatar. The ad is designed to highlight limitless power, originality, creative freedom
In a bid to keep up with the ever-changing digital world, Eveready released its latest campaign, which showcases its new product line (portable smartphone chargers, LED lights and home lights) targeted at the young consumer. The brand has launched a Rs 40 crore, its biggest ever, advertising campaign. The four-month campaign, ideated by Rediffusion, takes off from its decades old "Give Me Red" campaign.
In its comeback avatar, "Give Me Red" stands for limitless power, originality, creative freedom, and youthful energy.
The TVC shows Akshay Kumar invent a new game using the wide range of Eveready products. The film features a group of young people playing a video game at home. Kumar enters, switches off the game and suggests that they play something new. He inserts Eveready batteries into a torch, and starts switching it on and off repeatedly. Taking his cue, a group of girls in a neighbouring house, respond displaying illuminated CFL bulbs mounted on geometric structures. Groups of people from neighbouring apartments join in using the brand's other products to create patterns such as a moving race car, fireworks, a rocket taking off and so on, on buildings. Kumar orchestrates the patterns in perfect symphony amongst a cheering audience. Kumar invites viewers to join them at the 'Next level of power.' The film ends with the blinking lights forming the tagline 'Give me Red.'
What works for the ad
The company feels that the marketing campaign will give a larger than life experience to the consumers through a 360 degree approach covering television, print, outdoor, radio as well as new age digital platforms.
Amritanshu Khaitan, Managing Director, Eveready Industries said, "Give Me Red stands for more than just the colour red for Eveready – it is the brand identity of power and energy. I believe the new campaign will extend Eveready beyond batteries and position itself as a portable power and lighting solutions provider."
"Over the years, consumer experience has made Eveready a trustworthy, reliable and authentic brand. It understands the needs of young Indians and speaks their language. Give Me Red still resonates with a generation – hungry for everything new & on the move," said Anil Bajaj, Vice President-Marketing, Eveready Industries.
Komal Bedi Sohal, Chief Creative Officer, Rediffusion Y&R said, "The campaign presents "Give Me Red" in a brand new avatar and make it relatable to today's youth along with showcasing its new products such as mobile chargers, LED lights and home lights."
On the flipside
According to Nima Namchu, Chief Creative Officer, Cheil India, "While dry batteries might have become a thing of the pre-liberalisation days, "Give Me Red" is probably one of the most memorable taglines in the history of Indian advertising - when you hear those three words, they always conjure up images of thunderbolts and lighting, Eveready batteries and a whole lot of red. Having said that, if the objective was to surprise the consumer with the fact that the brand has now moved into newer and more relevant categories like mobile chargers and LED lights, I think the campaign falls short - the treatment is reminiscent of Eveready of the nineties and the newer exciting categories like mobile chargers and LED somehow did not shine through."
You can watch the ad here:
Lloyd Baptista of Seven Films has directed the campaign. The jingle has been conceptualized and written by Nilanjan Dasgupta, ECD, Rediffusion Y&R, along with lyricist Ashish Biswas. The music director is Prashant Vadhyar. The male singer is Subhajit Mukherjee and the female singer is Wrisha Dutta.
Eveready has sold more than 1.2 billion batteries and 25 million flashlights. Apart from these, Eveready now offers a basket of other products. Most of these products have been launched in the recent past and include lanterns, radios, rechargeable fans, power back up for mobile phones, CFL, GLS lamps, other lighting products and packet tea. Eveready has an extensive distribution network of 3,000 distributors reaching all the way down to 5,000 population towns.

The gateway to Burma/Myanmar, Yangon is one of the most fascinating cities in Asia. Please be mindful of the news and the human rights issues facing the country before going, but keep in mind that the people will most likely be lovely once you get there. Spend a few days exploring and don't miss Shwedagon Pagoda! I felt very safe as a woman traveling here.
Yangon still has such a rich "old world" Asian feel.The Burmese people are very warm. Love the markets in the city, and of course the amazing Swedgon Paya one of the most sacred sites to Buddhists . . . 325 feet high adorned with thousands of diamonds and other gems, it is a one of a kind temple.
At the beginning I didn't know if I was in Bangladesh or Myanmar. Yangon is crazy place, but if you come with an open mind soon you will find it's charm.
Though it's easily the best-connected place in Myanmar, dusty, disordered Yangon still feels pretty far out of the way. With the exception of the magnificent Shwedagon Pagoda, it's without any particularly memorable sights, but the interesting back streets and tasty teahouse culture (have a fish mohinga and some diabetes-inducing sweet Burmese tea) make it a place worth a night of your time, if nothing more.

- Polish Oplatki Christmas Wafers
Product Description
Oplatki Christmas Wafers are a wonderful Christmas Eve tradition celebrated in Poland and other Slav countries.
The Christmas wafers consist of 3 white wafers and 1 pink wafer which measure 3 x 5-1/2 inches, embossed with beautiful Nativity scenes, cello wrapped and then placed in a Christmas envelope. The white wafers are traditionally passed around the table and shared with guests on Christmas Eve along with good wishes and blessings . The head of the house shares the pink wafer at midnight with any animals he has as a reminder that we are all God's creatures. For those who are not familiar with the tradition, there is an enclosure included with the Oplatki Christmas wafers which explains the tradition, the rite itself and the symbolism of the rite. The Oplatki wafers are imported from Poland and made only once a year at Christmas time from pure wheat flour and water

Keep the tradition ongoing
Posted by Joanne Pajak on 31st Dec 2016
Our family always celebrates Christmas Eve vigilia with the Polish custom to keep my husband's traditions ongoing even though I am of Irish decent. Until now, I had oplatki sent from northern friends or family. Couldn't find it here in Florida and found you online. Arrived fresh and packaged well.
Oplatki arrived in time for Christmas
Posted by Tom on 29th Dec 2016
I ordered a little late this year and they arrived packaged very well and in time for Christmas. I will likely order from them again.

Thank for getting this to us prior to Christmas. We are Slovak, and I love introducing my children and now grandchildren to oplatki. Like the prayers on the envelop - very meaningful.

Grew up back east and Oplatki was a Christmas Eve tradition. Got older moved out west and found Oplatki was virtually impossible to get, until now. Arrived in a beautiful envelope and very fresh. I gave it 4 stars due to shipping threw it in the box and the envelope was all crinkled.
Just like we had when I was little
