Panel: Bridging the translational gap between research science and entrepreneurship
It is an increasing pain point where technical terms in science go over the heads of the many lay-people that are not familiar with the research and innovation landscape, and there is an increasing call for solutions in bridging this translational gap between the scientists and the investors that then fund the research ideas, and also other businesses that would then be keen in the most recent innovations. The aim of this panel is to be a steppings stone for bridging this gap and hopefully more scientists see the value of "getting out of the labs" and turning their research innovations into actual viable business plans

Keynote: Whom to trust, when no one is In charge?
Trust is the crucial element of any personal and business relationships and the core of all our interactions. This talk will challenge the common idea about the blockchain, the technology that powers cryptocurrencies; allowing two parties to make a transaction "without relying on trust". The blockchain does not eliminate trust. It merely converts trust from one form to another and the question is whom to trust when no one is in charge. From a medical doctor, then professional kite surfer to a serial entrepreneur, bestselling author, keynote-speaker and blockchain expert - TRUST us, Julian Hosp's life pattern is as advanced as the technologies nowadays. If you want to know, whether we can make trust more accessible by using innovative technologies, listen to his keynote.

Panel: Minimizing Waste in a Circular Economy
The definition or process of the circular economy means that waste is automatically reduced. All the worlds resources have a value. That value within our economic system now only continues when that resources is created into a consumerable product. However in the circular economy value is not just allocated to products but also to their by products or waste from the production process. It allows us to truly reflect value across 100& of natures resources. Interestingly this shift in value also increases a desire for increased quality, especially in the fashion industry. Through the circulation of textile fibre companies will be rewarded and encouraged to create a better quality product at the very beginning. This shift from fast and cheap to a more quality fibre or product could also have very interesting impacts on the way we do business and capitalism itself in the future.

"Excuse me, my good man, might I interest you in an aeronautical display?"
He was in his seventies at least, a little stick of a man, dressed in an over-sized world war two RAF uniform, complete with leather skullcap and goggles. A white silk scarf, wrapped around his neck, completed the ensemble.
I didn't say anything at first, craning to look behind him. He could see what was troubling me.
"They won't let me have a plane any more. Not since the incident with the Germans."
"You were in the war?" I asked.
"No..." he said. "What do you say? A ten minute aeronautical display. Only five pounds!"
I looked through the change I'd received after buying my ice cream. "I'll give you a quid."
"I used to get a thousand pounds a performance you know," he said.
"You used to have a plane," I retorted.
"Very well," he said in a dejected tone. "But you get five minutes and no loop the loop."
He began by running a hundred yards back and forth in front of me, humming engine noises, with his hands on an imaginary joystick, the left occasionally working the throttle. Then he was twisting off to the right in a lazy turn that gradually became a graceful figure of eight.
And so it went on, with him at one point rolling on his side along the ground, before leaping back to his feet, looking very spry for a man of his age, and running two hundred yards directly away from me, turning and running back at me as fast as he could manage. Before he barreled into me he stopped, hunkered down, wrapping his arms around his legs before throwing himself backwards, ankles over head. Once again he leaped back to his feet, then sauntered casually back over to me.
He pulled his monocle out, winked at me, then replaced it. "I threw in that last loop for free."
I fished the one pound coin out of my pocket and placed it onto his outstretched palm. He wrapped his fingers about it, placed his fist to his forehead in a salute, then stashed the coin in his puffy trousers.
"Well, young man, what did you think?"
I wasn't sure what I thought, but what I said was, "I've never seen anything like it. Can I offer a suggestion?"
"Of course you can, young sir. I value customer feedback."
"When you're running around like that you should stick your arms out, like they were wings."
"Wings?" he exclaimed, his monocle popping out. "My dear boy, I wouldn't wish to appear foolish."

The haggling scene was wonderful
A delightfully fun read. The images it created were laugh out loud funny.ReplyDelete
*snort* Wouldn't wish to appear foolish, huh? Wonderful story!ReplyDelete
The last line seals the deal on this story! Great job!ReplyDelete
This is a very engaging story!ReplyDelete
I could see the spry old thing rolling, leaping, sauntering -- your description was that vivid.
Love the monocle. And the last sentence.
Ha! Great job, Gully. That's the funniest thing I've read in a long time.ReplyDelete
Awesome piece of whimsy. I thank you for the smile reading this put upon my face.ReplyDelete
Excellent story. Perfect ending. Thanks for the smile.ReplyDelete
"You used to have a plane." hehe, this was brilliant. I echo the others, thanks for the smile.ReplyDelete
Wouldn't want to feel foolish indeed. I think after that perfomance I would have gone the whole five pounds.ReplyDelete
GREAT READ. I laughed out loud and I'm still wondering about "the incident with the Germans"
haha... great workReplyDelete
Great imagery here! Thanks for a fun read.ReplyDelete
Very cute ending. And a surprise. I half expected the old man to strafe the guy.ReplyDelete
Straight From Hel
I enjoyed this. Nice touch. Great character. Very nice landing.ReplyDelete
Oh, that was a hoot. I really loved this and hope to run into this old guy some day.ReplyDelete

The firm is WALMART
This course requires research, analysis, and drawing conclusions on a firm operating in the international business environment. This paper will provide you an opportunity to explore the many strengths and weaknesses a firm encounters in the international business environment.
A 12-15 page (excluding appendices, table of contents, abstract, reference, and bibliography) research paper (case study) is required. This paper represents 35% of the final course grade. Students will select a firm operating in the international business environment. This paper will be prepared consistent with the current APA Manual and will have a minimum of ten different references (No Wiki's or Pedia's). Some of the bibliography and references will most likely come from the firm you have chosen: source documents, e.g., annual reports, and financial statements. As such this reduces the need for peer reviewed sources. However, peer reviewed sources are still important and should be listed in the bibliography/reference section(s) and cited in the paper as appropriate. This paper is due the last day of class.
In addition, the research paper will be prepared consistent with the following guidelines:
1. This serves as an introduction to the Research Paper. Provide an overview of the research design of the paper. Introduce the various topics that will be addressed in the research paper. Identify the method(s) that will be used to collect the data for the topics and how that data will be evaluated. 2. There will be a brief discussion of the firm to include its principle goods and services, market share, geographic locations where it operates, and major competitors. 3.

This summer, art lovers in the Pikes Peak region will have the opportunity to see three installations by a world-famous artist who thinks big - and bright.
England native Bruce Munro will install works at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center and the Green Box Arts Festival in Green Mountain Falls.
Light is often Munro's vehicle because "I felt like it's the most simple medium. Because it's ephemeral, you're not littering the planet with the permanence of your endeavor," he said.
For more than three decades, Munro, 57, has created grand-scale, often-illuminated installations all over the world. His work has been displayed at museums including the Guggenheim in New York and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.
Making art from light in various forms wasn't always Munro's vision. "I wanted to be a painter so much, but I was awful at it," he recalled with a chuckle. "I always wanted to create art where I didn't know what the process is, to grasp periods of life in a space."
He added, "I never thought I would end up doing this. It was just lucky."
'Something edible about color'
At the FAC, Munro's installation will be inspired by Arthur C. Clarke's 1968 book "2001: A Space Odyssey (Space Odyssey #1)" and director Stanley Kubrick's film based on the then cutting-edge sci-fi book.
"Kubrick had seen in the 1970s that a computer could be smarter than man," Munro said. It was a before-its-time concept, he noted.
In the story, there's an intense chess game between the HAL 9000 supercomputer and astronaut Dr. Frank Poole (played by Gary Lockwood) that captured Munro's attention. His artwork at the FAC will be a wall filled with rows of 30 colorful Formica chess boards titled "Thank You For A Very Enjoyable Game" (a quote from HAL in the movie, after he soundly beats Poole in chess). The boards are positioned in order of moves made in a chess game.
Munro said that while he doesn't play chess, he always has been fascinated by the game.
"A chess board is a rather beautiful thing," Munro said. "Part of this was because I had a wish to work with Formica - those sheets of color. You'd quite like to have them in your house. There's something edible about color."
The exhibit will be accompanied by a soundtrack of chimes, designed to evoke a chess clock timer.
"This is not an illuminated pieced. A lot of people assume because I work in light (that it would be). But there is sunlight," Munro said.
The exhibit will be displayed on a wall in the Smith Family Gallery, which is bathed in natural light.
Amanda Weston, media relations and outreach manager for the FAC, spoke to the significance of having Munro's work displayed, come July, at two locations in the region.
"It means a lot to have an artist like Bruce Munro showing art at the Fine Arts Center and Green Box Arts Festival. We just love doing collaborations and being able to tell a story and connect the community to different organizations," she said. "Also, this gives the community something spectacular."
Lighting up Green Box
One of Munro's installations at Green Box Arts Festival will be inspired by his 2016 large-scale installation "Field of Light" at Uluru - the massive, navel-shaped rock in Australia's Northern Territory. Munro, who lived in Australia for a time and had visited the rock some 25 years before, realized his artistic vision by installing 50,000 solar-powered, color-changing bulbs at the base of the rural site.
"I felt incredibly alive in that space," he said. "I was wanting to express the sort of energy that I felt."
It took a dozen years for his concept to get to paper, and ultimately Munro - along with 12 artists from his studio - created the piece in his backyard in rural England. He then was invited back to Uluru to realize his vision.
Munro's second installation at Green Box will be a piece called "Tepees," which he first created in 2013 at Waddesdon Manor in the U.K. The father of four came up with the idea at his home in Wiltshire.
"My wife keeps chickens, and they were being eaten by foxes," he said. So Munro made tepees of light using 70-80 vertical rods - each "popping" every few seconds - to scare the foxes. "I thought, 'That looks like fun.'"
"Tepees" will feature "interactive light combinations that flash so quickly the naked eye will never see the full tepee lit up. Drawing inspiration from the American West, these large fluorescent light tubes formed into tepees will be featured at Mountain Road Corner," Rachel Shortt, marketing director for the festival, wrote in an email.
The festival, begun in 2009 as a dance residency, is an arts tradition supported by the Kirkpatrick family of Oklahoma, which has ties to Green Mountain Falls.
"Every year it is an artist-in-residency program, a place for artists to come and create works of art in the atmosphere of the beauty of Green Mountain Falls," Shortt told The Gazette in a previous interview.

Nawazuddin refutes sister-in-law's allegations
The 42-year-old star, who has come under the scrutiny for reportedly harassing his younger brother's wife, Afrin, on September 28, claimed she has deliberately charged him with the allegations because he appeared to be a soft target to her.
"I'm falsely charged by my sister-in-law because I'm a soft target for her and she could have easily made the news out of me. I'm an actor so, that could also be a reason for her allegations.
"Had it happened with a common man, it would not have made the headlines on television and newspapers," Nawazuddin said during a press conference here.
The actor also clarified that he has never asked for any dowry and in fact it was Afrin's uncle, who tried to mint money from his brother Minazuddin on a regular basis.
Nawaz presented a CCTV footage of September 28, which shows that he was in high fever that night.
The actor explained the whole incident through the clip, saying, "On the night of September 28, My sister-in-law's uncle and his wife came at our place with a proper plan of robbery. They entered Minazuddin's room to meet her. Then we heard a noise in a while and we all ran to see what exactly happened.
"The moment I reached, I saw my sister-in-law's uncle was rushing towards the main door with Afrin. I didn't have any conversation with her nor I touched her."
Nawazuddin said police are still investigating into the case and he is glad that he had the CCTV footage with him to prove his innocence.

By: AJE Recruiting Specialist
First-time job interviews can be daunting. You have limited experience. You will be tackling some tough questions. And you need to understand the basic protocol of interviewing itself. While this may sound intimidating, with some homework and practice you can be better prepared. Our experts provide some helpful strategies for entry-level job seekers to employ to help through the process.
1. Do your homework. Just like prepping for a key exam, interview prep is very important. Since you may not have a rich work background, recruiters will ask you hypothetical questions. Prepare a story about how your leadership and work-ethic at school or as part of an organization demonstrates your employment ability. You should also be armed with research about the company itself. Look at their corporate website and prepare some general questions. If you know the names of the people you are meeting with, research their backgrounds.
2. Be ready for the most common questions. Where do you see yourself? Why are you a good fit? Tell me something about yourself? What is your GPA? These are the types of question that you will be asked and require a thoughtful response. Outline these questions and have your responses ready well in advance. Remember, a job interview is a conversation. So, be prepared to respond and also ask questions and offer information about yourself when appropriate.
3. Practice makes perfect. During the interview you will be assessed not only by how you respond to questions, but your general mannerisms, style and confidence. The best approach is the prepared approach. Ask a friend or family member to conduct a mock interview session with you. Practice being natural, make eye contact and remember to smile. Interviewers know that you might be nervous so they will cut you some slack.
4. Present yourself professionally. First impressions count. While personal style is wonderful, when it comes to the job interview do not get overly creative with your look. Stick with classic, conservative clothing - a suit or slacks and jacket for men; a suit or skirt and blouse for women. Wear minimal jewelry. And for women, keep the makeup minimal. Finally, keep your cell phone turned off.
5. During the interview keep the professionalism going. Shake hands before you begin. Make eye contact and smile. Sit up straight. Present an air of confidence, and let your enthusiasm for the job shine through by asking questions about the position. And most importantly, show your personality, but be mindful of getting too casual. Remember, this is an assessment of your professional style and whether or not you will make a good fit for the company.
6. Remember to follow-up. Take the time to write a thank you note. This can be sent via regular mail or email. If you send by email, always be professional. Your note should thank the interviewer for their time, reiterate your interest in the position, and the reasons why you feel you would make the best candidate. Also include your contact information again
A successful job interview takes practice so do not be hard on yourself if you make mistakes. Learn and apply your new knowledge in your next interview.

About this series
Secured in a vault at the John F. Germany Public Library in downtown Tampa are thousands of photographic negatives depicting life on Florida's west coast at the height of segregation.
They were taken by commercial photography studio founded in Tampa in 1899 by Samuel Burgert and his son Willard ("William" in some records). By 1918, the studio was firmly established with brothers Jean and Al Burgert at the helm. It operated until 1963.
The Burgerts were white and likely subscribed to the racial stereotypes that prevailed in the early 1900s, said Jack B. Moore, co-author of the 1992 book Pioneer Commercial Photography: The Burgert Brothers. Still, the photographers produced a varied record of African-American life, capturing the elite as well as everyday people on their jobs, in churches, at social gatherings and day care centers, at weddings and schools.
In an occasional series, the Times will travel with the Burgert photos from the days of Jim Crow until now, looking in on figures in black life and the imprints they made on our community today.
As the story goes, Drew Saunders Days II was a boy in Gainesville, playing, or rather trying to play, a violin when a mailman working the route heard him and told the family he knew a white man, a professor at the University of Florida, who might be willing to teach Days how to play for real. It would have to be undercover, of course, Days being black in the segregated South. The family looked up the professor and, sure enough, he taught Days the art.
A black violinist? Rare even today, let alone in the early 1900s. But Drew Days carried his craft on to Morehouse College in Georgia, where he studied under black historian W.E.B. DuBois. He met and married Dorothea Jamerson, a student at Talladega in Alabama. They moved to Tampa, where Dorothea became a schoolteacher and Drew an executive at Central Life Insurance Co., an all-black firm. Mary McLeod Bethune, founder of Bethune-Cookman College in Daytona Beach, was the company's president.
It was a decent life. Two educated, working parents with two children, a boy and a girl. Days was well-respected in Hillsborough's black community. He worked with a football team at MacDill Air Force Base. He helped organize a boycott against a company when it refused to hire black employees. White executives would meet at Days' house on 29th Street, near Middleton High School, to negotiate.
And Days was known to play his violin _ at home to his infant son, at recitals and weddings, at black church gatherings. One of his favorite songs was Ave Maria.
Still, Days was unsettled by the hand that Jim Crow dealt. His children were bused beyond the nearby white school to all-black Dunbar Elementary. In concert halls and playhouses, Days, in his best suit, would still have to sit in the segregated balcony.
Once, Days went to see a Russian group of Don Cossacks sing (the family is uncertain whether it was in Tampa or St. Petersburg). The folks at the theater refused to sell him the same ticket handed to the white people in line. He turned and walked away. The humiliation and anger must have shown all over him; one of the singers asked what was wrong. When Days told him, the Russian took him through the stage door and let him watch the concert offstage.
Times like that, Days might have turned to his violin. The instrument, with its classical voice and air of affluence, symbolized a world that Days and other African-Americans had fought to have a part in, even if the white South battled to keep them at bay.
"It was very, very key to his life, one of the things that kept him on an even keel."
That's what his son, Drew Days III, said over the phone recently from his office at Yale Law School. The family stayed in Tampa about a dozen years, he says, until his father landed a job with an insurance company in New Rochelle, N.Y., in the early 1950s. They moved there, grateful for the coves of cultural freedom afforded black people in the North.
In the end, Days II left behind segregation's stronghold in Florida. But he produced a son who would help bring it down.
In 1969, Days III _ by then a lawyer _ represented the NAACP's Legal Defense Fund in court battles to desegregate the Hillsborough and Pinellas school systems. It would be another 30 or so years before the desegregation orders were lifted.
"You can imagine what it meant to me to desegregate my old school district," he says.
If the name sounds familiar, by the way, it should. Days III was the first African-American to head the civil rights division of the U.S. Department of Justice in 1977 and in 1992 became the U.S. solicitor general under former President Bill Clinton. Some have pegged the 61-year-old a potential appointee to the U.S. Supreme Court. His younger sister, Jacquelyn Days Serwer, is the chief curator at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Neither plays the violin, although Days III can handle a clarinet and a classical guitar.
After all this time, Days III still has one unanswered question about his father: Who was that UF professor who taught him, a black child from Gainesville, to play the violin?
He may never know. Drew Days II died in the Washington area after a long illness in July 1979, just shy of his 66th birthday. Dorothea Days died 10 years later.

Hi there,
In cases like this, what happens is that the funds would be rejected and returned. It is not a situation that we are in control of, though, so it is something we have to wait for. Once the funds are rejected we would receive them back into the account. This process can take 14 business days.0

If you've been closely following the story of how our excellent and beloved local elementary school is being threatened with closure, you probably have a good sense of how things went at the public meeting held to discuss the issue last Wednesday. Perhaps you were one of the people who packed the gym at Centre Hastings Secondary School in Madoc to listen and/or speak out. If you weren't, you may well have heard the report that was on one local radio news outlet; and you can expect to see stories about the meeting in the local weekly newspapers when they arrive in the mailbox a little later this week.
But the best way to learn about what happened at the meeting is to go to (and join, if you haven't already) the Save Madoc Township Public School Facebook group. There you'll find (thanks to the volunteers who undertook this project) a Facebook Live streaming of the full meeting, as well as individual videos of the individual speakers. Talk about great coverage!
Because you can see it all in real time, I don't think I need to go into a lot of detail about what was said at the meeting. I would, however, like to highlight for you a few things that were highlights for me as I sat and took it all in.
First I'd like to offer sincere thanks to the seven trustees from the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board who came out to the meeting. These elected officials have to attend a lot of meetings, and they give up many afternoons and evenings and travel many miles to do so. It's very much appreciated that they came to CHSS on Wednesday, some travelling from as far away as Tyendinaga and the Bancroft area. One other trustee sent her regrets because she had to attend a similar meeting that night in her own part of Prince Edward County. So that leaves only two of the total 10 trustees who make up the board – and who hold the fate of Madoc Township Public School and the two schools in the village of Madoc in their hands – as a no-show. That's impressive! And like I said, very much appreciated. So thank you to chair Lucille Kyle and trustees Bonnie Danes, Justin Bray, Mike Brant, Dave Patterson, Mary Hall and Jim Williams.
The main thrust of all the presentations given by members of the public was the two alternative recommendations that have been forward by community volunteers to counter the plan put forward by board administrators. These recommendations are widely seen as preferable to the administrators' plan. Let's quickly review, for those who may need a refresher:
The board administration has recommended closing Madoc Township Public School at the end of the current school year, sending all its students to Madoc Public School in the village, and sending the students in Grades 7 and 8 from both elementary schools' areas to a renovated section of the high school.
The alternative proposals are:
- Keep Madoc Township Public School open and bring back its Grade 7 and 8 students. The school went up to Grade 8 when it was built in 1961, but in the early 1970s students in the two higher grades were moved to Madoc Public School. There's no compelling reason for them to be there, and bringing them back to MTPS will mean our beautiful country school will be fully used. No empty space to maintain, in other words. This recommendation calls for the consolidation of Madoc Public School and CHSS.
- Build a new school to house all students, from kindergarten through Grade 12, and to replace all three existing schools. Because this would take time, this would give the existing schools a reprieve of two or three years – at the end of which there would be a state-of-the-art, fully accessible and environmentally friendly facility.
One of the major arguments for keeping MTPS open, cited by speaker after speaker, was the extensive playground and outdoor spaces that it offers students. The school is surrounded by more than five acres of land where children can run, play and learn about the natural world around them. How many schools can boast that?
The space at MTPS was dramatically illustrated by a simple but powerful visual aid brought to the meeting by community member Randy Gray. It was a big piece of green bristol board representing the green space at MTPS. In the centre was a taped a dime – representing the tiny play space at Madoc Public School. Randy had ensured the dimensions were accurate ("Hey, I know how to carry the one," he joked to me after the meeting as I took his photo. "I went to Madoc Township Public School!"), and it was very, very impressive.
What else was talked about ?
- Inaccuracies in the information presented to the public and the trustees about renovation needs (and costs) at the three schools. Major work (a roof, new windows) that has already been done and paid for at MTPS was still showing as a future need and a future expense, and thus a negative in considering the building's future.
- The crowded-to-the-point-of-dangerous situation in the areas where buses load and unload students at Madoc Public School. Randy Rowe, a school-bus driver and member of Madoc Township council, told the crowd:
The Madoc schools are already over-congested with parents picking up and dropping off students. Vehicles parked in front of MPS are daily backing out into live lanes of traffic while children and parents are zig-zagging through them to get to their cars. Adding 120 more students [from MTPS] and their families will contribute to an already unsafe situation.
- Other issues raised by Rowe:
- Because of the lack of space for bus loading zones at the two schools, three buses in the afternoon have to park in the smoking area outside the high school. Any students riding these buses, he said
have to pass through the smoking area and then sit until departure time overlooking this daily influence and inhaling cigarette fumes.
- Because of the lack of space for bus loading zones at the two schools, three buses in the afternoon have to park in the smoking area outside the high school. Any students riding these buses, he said
- Adding 120 students to the buses travelling to MPS and CHSS will cause overcrowded buses:
I know from my experience that an overcrowded bus creates dynamic situations. As we max out the seating capacities on buses it creates quarrelling, fighting and conflicts and becomes unsafe, since the only adult on the bus, the driver, is responsible for so many children.
- Adding 120 students to the buses travelling to MPS and CHSS will cause overcrowded buses:
- Bruce Buttar, the area representative of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, spoke about how the departure of young people and families, when there are no services such as schools for them, is hurting rural Ontario. The OFA and its partners are working hard to reverse this trend and revitalize rural areas, he said – "but we need a solid school system." Buttar added that in rural areas, schools are community hubs as well as places for kids to learn; when they are closed, they're closed for the entire community. He urged the trustees and the board administrators to dare to think differently, to support rural schools and rural life. Hear, hear!
- One of the most impressive speeches was a brief one from Leslie Chapman, a woman whose family had, back in the 19th century, given the land on which Madoc Township Public School now sits as a place for its predecessor, the small Burris School (SS#9, Madoc Township). She implored the trustees to think about "the rich, rich heritage this school has." Bravo!
- Amy Beaton, the parent of a student at MTPS, noted that the board's decision on our schools is scheduled for June 19, when there are only eight school days left. Eight days, she suggested with emotion evident in her voice, is not nearly enough for the students to say goodbye to their school community. Spending those final days as their much-loved place is being filled with moving boxes and being shut down "is not a very memorable last few days at school," she said. And what about honouring the legacy of MTPS? Former students, she noted, would surely want to come, some from afar, and take part in that; how could it be properly done in eight days?
- Carrie Smith, a Madoc Township councillor, spoke very eloquently and made so many good points. I urge you to watch the video, but here's an excerpt:
The closing of our only school will affect who chooses to move into our township, as [the local school is] often a deciding factor for many families. I strongly feel that this will be a deterrent to families … We are becoming a disjointed society with little to tie us to our roots. Madoc Township Public School has provided such a strong sense of community for so many years – and I just can't help but think it's the time that we spent together outside in the amazing green space just being kids for a moment longer in time. Our lives are ever-increasingly becoming more and more hectic, and this school is a way for parents to hold on to a rural way of life."
- And there was more:
- A letter from Tom Deline, the mayor of Centre Hastings (which encompasses the village of Madoc) to say that a big parcel of fully serviced land within the community is readily available as a location for a new kindergarten-to-Grade 12 school.
- Madoc parent Kari Kramp pointing out that the estimated cost for a new school is less than half the estimated cost of repairs needed at CHSS over the next 20 years: $21 million vs. $48 million. "There are better ways to spend $27 million," she astutely observed.
- Concerns about asbestos in all three existing school buildings, and whether it would be a risk if renovations to make space for the Grades 7 and 8 students are done at CHSS.
- Concerns about whether there will be the necessary facilities and programs at the high school for students with autism and other special needs.
- A strong plea for keeping a school where children can take advantage of all the benefits of unstructured outdoor play with other kids – which leads to social development, healthy relationships and leadership skills. "What are the benefits of reducing kids' green space?" was the question asked to the school-board representatives. No answer was offered.
Both the senior administrators and some of the trustees have said that the decision on our local schools is not a done deal – that other options can be considered. The next step in that consideration process is a meeting of the board's student enrolment/school capacity meeting on Monday, April 10 (3:30 p.m. at the board office, 156 Ann St., Belleville; open to the public). It is then that the trustees will receive the final report and recommendation from the senior administrators, though that report is to be posted on the board's website a few days before the meeting.
On Wednesday, April 26, also at the board headquarters in Belleville, that same committee will hear delegations from the public about the final proposal. Anyone who wants to say something to the trustees will have to register as a delegation at least five business days in advance of the meeting. The registration form is on the board's website; here is a direct link.
On Tuesday, May 23, the committee meets again to prepare a recommendation to the full board (the 10 trustees). Again, the meeting is public.
And the final vote by those trustees is to take place Monday, June 19.
I'll be there. Judging by the impressive turnout last Wednesday, and the impassioned pleas to the trustees to do what's best for our kids and our community, I expect a lot of you will be too.

Frosty Returns is a "sequel", or more of a follow-up, to the Rankin/Bass Christmas special Frosty the Snowman, produced by Bill Malendez Productions. This story, written by Oliver Goldstick from an earlier story treatment by Jim Lewis, includes no other characters from either the original special or Frosty's Winter Wonderland. Since Broadway Video co-produced this special (with CBS Entertainment Productions) and owned the 1969 original, it always follows CBS's annual broadcasts of Frosty the Snowman, despite the lack of continuity between the two specials.
The special begins with a musical number showing that the Beansboro Elementary School is canceled for the day due to a seven-inch snowfall, while the adults incessantly complain about the problems snow and ice cause, and the children enjoy the opportunity for playing with it. (Later in the special, however, many of the same children are shown in school the next day rallying for the elimination of snow.)
Frosty arrives in the town of Beansboro and meets young Holly DeCarlo, a relatively lonely young girl and aspiring kid magician with only one friend, a tone-deaf, somewhat geeky character named Charles who apparently has a knack for climatology. Meanwhile, evil Mr. Twitchell is the inventor of "Summer Wheeze", an aerosol spray that makes snow instantly disappear through unexplained means. He hopes to use the product to win over the people of Beansboro so that they will "make me their king" (Twitchell does not seem to realize that the "king of the winter carnival" to which he alludes is only an honorary title and has no real power). When one of the members of the town council voices concern about the environmental impact of the untested product, Mr. Twitchell has her dropped through a trapdoor.
To Twitchell's delight, and Frosty's dismay, the town of Beansboro falls head over heels for "Summer Wheeze", delighting Twitchell but causing Frosty to be concerned about his safety. Holly gets Frosty to appear at the annual Beansboro Winter Carnival to persuade the townspeople to rethink their newfound hatred of snow. Singing about the joy of winter to the town, Frosty is unanimously declared king of the carnival, a title which Mr. Twitchell had hoped to win. Holly and Frosty, however, allow Mr. Twitchell to still wear the cape and ride the sled of the carnival king.
Despite its association with the 1969 special, Frosty Returns has a notable lack of continuity with it. For example, Frosty has a different physical appearance and continues to live without his top hat. In the original special and its other sequels, the removal of Professor Hinkle's magic hat from Frosty's head caused him to cease being "all living" and become a regular snowman again. Frosty's hat in Frosty Returns is not even the same one from the original, since he is shown to have gotten it from Holly.
The reason behind his living without his hat possibly may be that in an earlier sequel produced by Rankin/Bass, Frosty's Winter Wonderland, he received a kiss from Crystal which allowed him to live without his hat. However, this does not explain why Frosty still needs his hat to live in Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July, which takes place after Frosty's Winter Wonderland.
- After Frosty is hit by the spray, Holly and Charles say that there isn't any more snow on the ground, when in fact there is.
- Xfinity/Comcast listings state that this special came out in 1995.
Political undertones
The plot of this special is markedly more politically aware than its predecessors and successors, alluding to climate change, environmentalism corporate enterprise, and instead of a Christmas celebration, the term "winter carnival" is used. In fact, Christmas is not mentioned at all and Charles makes mention of creating a "fertility goddess" in the snow, possibly a reference to Frey, the Scandinavian Fertility God and a deity associated with peace and prosperity during winter solstice. Santa Claus is never mentioned either.
The use of aerosol cans hints to the use of fluorocarbons, which were used as propellants for decades before their potential to deplete the ozone layer was discovered in the 1970s. However, fluorocarbons had already been banned from aerosol cans in the United States at the time the special was produced, although the stigma associated with them remained. Trucks are used in the special to spray "Summer Wheeze" around the town, alluding to the use of DDT trucks in the 1950s.
Frosty no longer has a corn cob pipe. The Frosty song, when sung, uses humming or whistling through the corn cob pipe line, thus avoiding all references to smoking.
Broadcast history and availability
Frosty Returns was made for the CBS television network in 1992, and has continued to air annually during the holiday season. Over the years, it has been released several times in the home media market. It was originally released individually on VHS, but, until the 2019 DVD, it has since been included on most DVD releases and all Blu-ray releases of the original Frosty the Snowman, except for the 2001 DVD release by Sony Wonder and the 2018 DVD and Blu-ray releases by Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.
On CBS' more recent broadcasts, the opening and closing bookend scenes with the narrator were inexplicably edited to remove the narrator himself, yet his narration was left in.

You can quickly populate a mailing list by uploading a list of email addresses from another source such as a spreadsheet or another system. If you choose to upload a list, you will have the opportunity to delete any email addresses and refine your mailing list before sending any emails.
First, a quick reminder about consent. You must ensure that you have had explicit permission from each subscriber before adding them to your email list. For more information about consent, click here.
The first step you'll need to take is to download the list from your email account, CMS or mailing list provider. Alternatively you can create an upload file yourself by cutting and pasting addresses. More detailed instructions on both can be found below. Once you have this file you can upload the emails in a single click.
Download a mailing list from an email account, CMS or mailing list provider
We support the import of any CSV export file that contains email addresses. However if you would also like to import first and last names, there are a few other steps to consider.
Find the email export option for your version of Outlook. Save as outlook CSV format.
Switch from "Email" view to "Contacts" view by clicking "Email" in the top left hand corner of the screen (under the Google logo) and choosing "Contacts". Next click the "More" drop-down menu on the screen and select "Export".
Select the contact group you would like to export (if any) and then choose to export your file as "Outlook CSV format"
Simply download the mailing list of your choice. We fully support Mailchimp download files in an unchanged format, so you just need to download it from Mailchimp and use it as is.
Do this by clicking on the 'Lists' tab in Mailchimp, then find the list you want to export, click on the list name (not the tickbox next to it), and it should take you inside the list. There's a grey button marked 'Export List' which will allow you to export the list. This will export the active subscribers only. If you also need to export unsubscribed subscribers, click on the 'All subscribers' dropdown which gives you extra choices.
One possible complication with Mailchimp is that it may 'zip' your CSV file download. If the file you download has .zip at the end of it, this has happened, and you'll have to click into the zip folder to retrieve the actual CSV file, and save it onto your desktop to upload it to interests.me.
Your CMS software should have a contacts export option. Download the file, choosing CSV or "Comma delimited CSV file" if available. To ensure compatibility, open the file as a spreadsheet (for example, using Excel) and follow the instructions below (Create an import file from scratch), renaming the heading columns and removing unnecessary columns.
Create an import file from scratch
You can create an export file using spreadsheet software. Create three columns and title them email, firstname, _lastname_
Cut and past your emails into this spreadsheet. It can be as long as you like. If you don't have first or last names, leave them blank.
When you are ready, choose to save this file as a CSV file. If given the choice, select to make this file comma delimited. This means that a comma is used to separate the email, first name, and last name.
Save this file somewhere handy. If you open it in a text editor, it should look like this:
email, firstname, lastname
email@example.com, Jon, Tucker
firstname.lastname@example.com, Karen, Johnson
firstname.lastname@example.com, Louise, Bridges
You are now ready to upload this file.
Upload your addresses into a mailing list
Open the Mailing Lists page on interests.me. Choose the mailing list that you'd like to import the email addresses into, or create a new mailing list. Once you are inside the correct mailing list, click the Bulk upload button. You will see a warning message, reminding you that you must ensure that you have had explicit permission from each subscriber before adding them to your email list.
Finishing up
Once the email address have been imported they will appear on the screen. You can now review the list and delete any emails that have been imported that you do not wish to include in the mailing list. You can do this simply by clicking the trash can icon next to each entry.
Once you've cleaned up, you're ready to start writing stories and creating emails.

With our picnic snacks and blankets packed, my girlfriends and I ventured to Central Park for an afternoon of sun, stars and stripes. People watching in the park was such a fun way to spend the Fourth of July. Thank goodness blue skies held out for us without rain!
My friend Erin from work made these delicious little pepper poppers. She said she simply cut the mini sweet peppers in half (you could also use jalapeños), filled each with a teaspoon or so of cream cheese, sprinkled a little grated cheese and crumbled crackers on top (breadcrumbs would work, too), seasoned with salt and pepper and baked them. They held up well in a plastic container and were a fun finger food to nibble on!
Central Park amazes me every time. It is such an oasis away from the chaos of the city and the greenery is refreshing. Looking forward to more picnics in Sheep Meadow and afternoons of people watching this summer.
Burgers, French fries and milkshakes sounded like the perfect all-American dinner for Independence Day. My friends and I dined at Islands Burgers and Shakes in the Upper West Side before heading to the firework show. The black-and-white malt (pictured below) was seriously heavenly. The sides were drizzled with a thick chocolate sauce so you got a nice big slurp of it at the end.
The malt was the perfect sweet balance to salty, crispy thick cut fries (YUM) and a tender, juicy burger. Making a burger choice was so difficult considering the dozens of options ranging from decadent to hot. I went with the Tijuana burger topped with jack cheese, guacamole, sautéed onions and crispy bacon. Needless to say, I couldn't finish it all, but ya have to splurge every once in a while! Fireworks over the Hudson River that evening were incredible! I've never seen any show like it. It is a must-see on the 4th of July and has set my expectations very high for next year.
Over the weekend my roommate and I enjoyed the sunshine (and humidity?) by walking across the Brooklyn Bridge. My recommendation is to start on the Brooklyn side so you can see the views of Manhattan as you walk. And watch out for the zooming cyclists–they are cruising along the narrow paths.
My roommate and I were in the exploring mood so we decided to hit up a destination we had on our bucket list called Peanut Butter & Co. We walked through Lower Manhattan up to Greenwich Village (and eventually back home to Midtown–5 miles total!) to get there, but it was so worth it. For peanut butter fanatics like ourselves, this was the perfect lunch. They make classic and unique peanut butter flavors ranging from "Smooth Operator" to "Mighty Maple" and then put them on creative sandwiches and into milkshakes and baked goods. You can also find their blue-topped peanut butters in local stores!
I ordered the Cinnamon Raisin Swirl sandwich (pictured below). Normal PB & J sandwiches will never taste the same again. Toasted wheat bread was slathered with cinnamon raisin peanut butter on one side and vanilla cream cheese on the other, then layered with thin slices of tart green apples. It was out of this world. The cream cheese tasted like vanilla frosting and the PB was bursting with cinnamon specks and chewy raisins. Eating it on a mini-picnic in Washington Square Park (right around the corner from the shop) was so perfect I didn't want it to end. PB lovers, please drop what you're doing and go to Peanut Butter & Co. right away!
I would say it was a pretty all-American, patriotic 4th of July weekend full of delicious NYC memories! Looking forward to happy hour at a rooftop bar this week, eating fried chicken and waffles with the roomies, and finishing up a Thanksgiving project at work. Have a great Monday!
Love food. Love self. Love life.
