A few days ago, I found myself sitting at dinner with a now wiser, young pastor as he was recounting a recent error he'd made. Desperately in need of more people to aid his church's hospitality effort, He had made a general announcement and placed a request for help in the church bulletin. In short order, the slots he needed to fill had names of volunteers, but these weren't the people he really needed. He described many as the "odd characters" that often find a home in church. Good people, to be sure, but not the ones you want answering the front door.
My friend isn't the first pastor to let need lead to mistakes in recruiting people for ministry involvement.
Now, certainly we know that there's a place for everyone in the church. By His Spirit, God has invested gifts and abilities in each of us that He wants to use to strengthen His Church, but helping people find the right spots and avoid the wrong ones is a major challenge in recruiting. For many of us, it's this part of building a team that gives us the most trouble. So let's take a look at some of the more common mistakes:
- Fail to put enough importance upon recruiting.
How you recruit people for your team is extremely important. Simply knowing you need help and then asking around is hardly a wise approach. The pastor who doesn't take recruiting efforts seriously is destined for a few disasters. You must do it and you must do it well.
- Lower expectations to get recruits.
Begging is never attractive when it comes to enlisting kingdom workers. Sometimes a pastor or ministry leader will lower the bar, accept less than adequate commitment, and settle for inadequate effort just to have someone fill the slot. But lowering expectations doesn't create a ministry role people want to engage. Remember that people long for significance and the only way their ministry effort will be satisfying is if it requires a commitment to excellence.
- Provide unclear expectations.
Developing ministry job descriptions can be a good way to avoid this one. When you ask people to step into a ministry assignment, you must help them understand the role and the expectations clearly. How can people match effort to those expectations if they don't really know what they need to be doing?
- Pressure people through use of desperation, guilt, or or friendship.
Sadly, churches often become know for the use of guilt to motivate people to action. "If we don't find a Sunday school teacher to help us, look at how these children will suffer…" or some other kind of desperate appeal won't glean the kind of commitment you need. Basing your friendship on their willingness to help isn't appropriate either. The only lasting and legitimate motive for ministry is our love for Christ. All other motives will run out at some point.
- Consistently plead and scold from the pulpit.
If you use the pulpit to recruit, you're probably making a mistake, no matter how you do it. Crowd recruiting will not reach the best potential leaders. You'll likely only get those who are either looking to be seen or those who have unhealthy reasons to try to please you.
- Elect ministry leaders.
Many churches have relied to heavily on democratic models in choosing workers. Some churches still elect their Sunday school leaders or teachers, their women's directors, and many more. Election may help you get everyone's favorite choice for ministry leadership, but that doesn't mean you have the best leader. And, it's harder to lead the elected since their real loyalties and accountability is to those that elected them, not to the one who must lead them.
- Put out an announcement and wait for people to come to you.
This was my friend's error—one a lot of us have made. The right people will respond to a more personalized approach to recruiting. If you use your bulletin to ask everybody for help, you'll end up with nobody you want and somebody who wrongly thinks this ministry is for them.
- Recruit already over over-committed workers.
While we are always thankful for people who have said "yes" to our request for help, enlisting them again and again is a mistake. The over-committed are usually the first to "burnout" in their ministry efforts. They will figure out how tired they are of doing so much while others seem to do very little, and once they figure that out, laying down some of their assignments feels like the only way out.
- Provide inadequate support.
If you have no plan for training or support for your volunteers, people won't be very quick to join your team. Asking people to do something without equipping them for the work will become frustrating very quickly. If you don't have a plan to help ensure the success of their efforts, you're probably not ready to start recruiting people.
10. Allow people into higher profile positions than their character will support.
I once knew a pastor who would find ways to put men on his deacon board when he heard they were about ready to leave the church. He thought that giving them leadership opportunity would keep them in the church and give them the influence they sought. So he ended up with a bunch of disgruntled, non-supportive leaders making major decisions for the church's future. Good recruiting will always look to match both ability and character to the roles to be filled.
There's an old human resources adage that says, "You hire all of your personnel problems." The idea behind this slightly humorous statement is that making mistakes in the recruiting process guarantees that you'll have problems down the road.
While these may be a list of ten ways to recruit ineffectively, there's also some good wisdom for doing it the right way. We'll look at those insights in our next blog…

MFA: EP resolution a political tool to pressurise Poland
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has taken note of the adoption by the European Parliament of a resolution concerning the rule of law and democracy in Poland on 15 November 2017. Unfortunately, the European Parliament's resolution comes at a very inopportune moment, when the parliamentary stage of the legislative process has only just begun in Poland.
We regret to say that the resolution's signatories have based their disapproval of the Polish President's bills on the National Council of the Judiciary and on the Supreme Court on a general and oral opinion which the European Commission expressed only several days ago. For its part, the Polish government has been providing comprehensive written explanations in response to the European Commission's recommendations. We do not avoid dialogue emphasizing that it must be based on facts and an openness to Polish arguments. At the same time, the European Parliament's resolution does not address issues which lie at the heart of the dispute between the Commission and Poland. Rather, the resolution should be regarded as an instrument for exerting political pressure on Poland.
The text of the resolution goes beyond the framework of the ongoing dialogue, many passages are very judgmental, and contain a number of sweeping statements, e.g. about the situation of potential asylum seekers at the border with Belarus. The government believes that the measures introduced at the external border, in particular at the Terespol border crossing, are appropriate in the current migratory situation. Furthermore, the resolution does not reflect the actual state of affairs when it comes to the Bialowieza Forest, as it fails to mention that the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg has still not delivered any final decision on interim measures, while the Polish government respects and implements the Court Vice-President's decision of 27 July 2017, which directly authorises Poland to take protective actions warranted by public security considerations.
As regards the law on assemblies, the resolution also omits some important facts, for instance the judgement of the Constitutional Tribunal on the compliance of this law with the Polish Constitution. Indeed, the legal solutions do not give rise to conclusions that freedom of public assembly is being curtailed in Poland. Equally unfounded are opinions expressed by the European Parliament on socially-sensitive issues, opinions which are irrelevant to the dialogue on the rule of law between the European Commission and Poland.
We respect the right of the European Parliament, as the EU's representative body, to express its own views. Having said that, the EP resolution is a one-sided document that is too often based on political assessments, while making too little use of in-depth legal analysis. Such an approach is detrimental to the process of European integration as it only leads to stigmatizing a Member State.

Labor unions have been on the decline for sixty years in the U.S., though they raise wages, decrease inequality, and give voice to workers. Can they rise again?
Conventional research in organizational theory highlights the role of board interlocks in facilitating business collective action. In this article, I propose that business collective action affects the evolutionary path of interlock networks. In particular, large market players' response after a collective action to the classic problem of the "exploitation" of the great by the small provides a mechanism for interlocks to evolve.
Community reactions against organizations can be driven by negative information spread through a diffusion process that is distinct from the diffusion of organizational practices. Bank panics offer a classic example of selective diffusion of negative information. Bank panics involve widespread bank runs, although a low proportion of banks experience a run. We develop theory on how organizational similarity, community similarity, and network proximity create selective diffusion paths for resistance against organizations.
Recent decades have seen the influence of the professions decline. Lately, commentators have suggested a revived role for a "new" professionalism in ensuring and enhancing high-quality health care in systems dominated by market and managerial logics. The form this new professionalism might take, however, remains obscure. This article uses data from an ethnographic study of three English health care improvement projects to analyze the place, potential, and limitations of professionalism as a means of engaging clinicians in efforts to improve service quality.
Despite growing acceptance of a "new fatherhood" urging fathers to be engaged in family life, men's relative contributions to housework and child care have remained largely stagnant over the past twenty years. Using data from in-depth interviews, we describe how identity processes may contribute to this persistent inequality in parenting. We propose that the specificity of men's identity standards for the father role is related to role-relevant behavior, and that the vague expectations many associate with "new fatherhood" both contribute to and result from men's underinvolvement.
Recent methodological debates in sociology have focused on how data and analyses might be made more open and accessible, how the process of theorizing and knowledge production might be made more explicit, and how developing means of visualization can help address these issues. In ethnography, where scholars from various traditions do not necessarily share basic epistemological assumptions about the research enterprise with either their quantitative colleagues or one another, these issues are particularly complex.
To comply with ideals of multiculturalism and diversity, postsecondary institutions incorporate Latino students into distinct campus cultures. These cultures influence how students interact with one another, the university community at large, and communities outside of campus, ultimately shaping how students inhabit Latino politics. Drawing on data from 20 months of ethnographic fieldwork with six student organizations and 60 in-depth interviews, I compare Latino student organizations in a liberal arts college, a research university, and a regional public university.

With Movember in full-bloom Caitríona O'Malley twirls her imaginary moustache and looks at some of the most impressive facial fuzz that music has to offer
'Molly's Chambers'- Kings of Leon
From their masses of goatees, beards and 'tashes you just know that this band of brothers and the ugly cousin drink whiskey from a leather pouch, went hunting for their din-dins and went to mass every Sunday morning with blood on their knuckles. It is the wayward approach to male grooming that leaves us with this impression.
'Monkey Wrench'- Foo Fighters
Marvel at that badass raven goatee seductively caressing Dave Grohl's chin. This man can work a beard with great passion and agility; it becomes a part of him like a silent whisper of razors past.'Strawberry Fields Forever'- The Beatles
By the late '60s, the Liverpool lads had abandoned the moptops and warmly embraced peachy fluff fuzz. Two words: Ringo's moustache. Be stricken with awe at its seemingly limitless powers.
'Gay Bar'- Electric Six
Admittedly, these suave beards are fake, but could still fell a man from 50 paces, such is their level of burly sophistication. Rumour has it Daniel Day-Lewis watched this while massaging his chinny chin chin to prepare for his role as Abraham Lincoln.
'In Bloom'- Nirvana
A trim and barely there little goatee from Kurt here. He may prance around in a nightdress as see-through as his mustache at one point in the video, but that neatly tended rectangular bit of fluff oozes with masculinity.
'On Raglan Road'- Luke Kelly
A beautiful song from a legendary Irishman who wore his enormous and fearsome ginger beard with understandable pride. Luke Kelly's beard allegedly increased Irish tourism in the year 1971 by a whopping 10%, Americans charged up to 10 pence for a rub of the 'giant man's magical leprechaun beard'.'Radio Ga Ga'- Queen
No one pulled off the slick, faintly porn star moustache quite like the late Freddie Mercury. Somewhat homoerotic and very cool, some say it was cultivated to draw attention away from his teeth, with questionable success as the moustache actually bypassing his mouth and heading straight for his chin.
'Stand by Me'- Ben E. King
Originally recorded in 1961 and re-released to coincide with Rob Reiner's 1986 coming of age film of the same name. This one is bushy, bristling and simply bursting with unbridled testosterone. It is also, dare one use this adjective, funky?
'Dancing in the Moonlight'- Thin Lizzy
Phil Lynott's moustache was thinner and more shapely than Ben's, but no less fabulous. It takes a brave man to risk a moustache with an Afro and Phil did it with buckets of swag.
'Champagne Supernova'- Oasis
At over seven minutes long, this song can only be described as an epic. It was released in the undeniable heyday of Oasis in the mid '90s, 1996 to be precise. Gaze in wonder at the impressive brown beard on Liam Gallagher's previously clean shaven face. Add to this those round glasses and he's certainly rocking a very distinguished look. Everyone knows men with beards are deep and philosophical, even if we may never know if they use shampoo or shower gel on their face fuzz.

Overkill or not, 4K-ready mobile devices are most likely going to arrive in the coming months/years, with Japan Display already showcasing a 12-inch tablet LCD panel ready to offer such a high-resolution.
The company is showing off this "monstrosity" at the FPD International 2013 trade show (Pacifico Yokohama – October 23-25), although this is just a demo display so far, as OEMs are yet to announce such 12-inch tablet models.
In addition to sporting 4K resolution (3840 x 2160) and 365ppi, the 12-inch LCD display also offers a 1000:1 contrast ratio, 160 degrees viewing angle and 500cd brightness. The display measures 273.67 x 164.40 x 1.96 mm, has a 2mm bezel on the sides and 6.8mm on top and bottom.
It's not clear though when such panels will go into mass production.
This isn't the first 4K display we see for mobile devices, and it's certainly not going to be the last one, as smartphone and tablet makers will certainly push the boundaries to offer an even better viewing experience on mobile devices. After all, some mobile devices already offer 4K-recording capabilities, so it's only natural to see some future smartphones and tablets pack 4K screens.
As for 12-inch tablets, this isn't the first time we hear this particular tablet size tossed around, and we wouldn't be surprised to see device makers come up with such models in the future.
The good news is that display technology can't advance on its own, as such high-resolution panels will require plenty of processing power, not to mention improved batteries ready to handle it all.
Do we really need such high-resolution displays on mobile devices? There is no right answer here, because to OEMs it won't really matter, especially for companies that are building Android-based devices, as the specs race is far from over. What do you think?

|Facebook Tinder
But what about their job? A person's profession can tell you a lot about their interests, passions and lifestyle, and Tinder have revealed the jobs that win the most right-swipes. The 'sexiest' jobs, if you will.
Of course, the contents of your Tinder profile is open for people to judge, and it's likely some users have inaccurate prejudices of certain industries, hence why some are more popular than others in the dating world; here's what Tinder have revealed...
In the U.S., results were revealed at the start of last year and split into popular professions for men and women. Male pilots got the most right-swipes - which is understandable, many love a man in uniform - and founders/entrepreneurs followed in second, which again makes sense as those titles boast a certain level of wealth at first glance - something that some take into consideration when looking for a partner *cough* what's that Kanye West and Jamie Foxx song?
For women, the most popular profession was revealed to be a physical therapist. The second most popular was interior designer - perhaps people want a creative and artsy date - and founder/entrepreneur came in third, landing in the top 5 for both lists.
Here are the full lists for U.S. users:
|img Tinder
Weirdly enough, flight attendants and cabin crew members were categorised as two different jobs in the research, which seems a bit odd and leaves many wondering what the difference is between the two. Nonetheless, both types of airline-worker came up in the top five in Spain, Germany, France, the UK, Chile, Japan, Mexico, Korea and Columbia...that's a lot of people having the hots for flight attendants (or cabin crew - whatever). Perhaps it's that Britney Toxic video...
Being part of a cabin-crew seems like a job with a good amount of perks; you get to travel the world AND get flooded with Tinder matches, win-win if you ask me. So, if you're unlucky-in-love on Tinder, hop on a plane, and pop on one of those stripey neck ties...Happy Swiping!

2013 in Review: SkyTruth – the Friendly "Eyes in the Sky"
That was fast! We are almost back to that arbitrary point in the Earth's orbit that most people recognize as the end of the year. That means you're almost out of time to send some money to causes you care about in exchange for a smaller tax bill next year. So instead of letting Congress decide (or not decide) what to do with your tax dollar, we're hoping you might make a donation to your friendly eyes in the sky – SkyTruth.
To recap what we have done for conservation and environmental awareness in 2013, here are some highlights from our most recent trip around the sun…
Testimony to Congress: In May, we were invited to testify before Congress on an upcoming rule that would govern hydraulic fracturing on millions of acres of public land. We gave our recommendations about how to make fracking more transparent, but were disappointed by the very misleading debate about the risks and alleged safety of fracking. Later in the year we addressed some of industry's favorite claims about fracking in a piece titled: Word Games are Misleading the American Public About Fracking.
FrackFinder: This year we also took a big step toward creating the skytruthing movement, with two FrackFinder projects that allow anyone to help us map the environmental impacts of shale gas drilling in Pennsylvania's Marcellus Shale. Right now we are asking volunteers to help us find fracking waste ponds so researchers at Johns Hopkins can find out if there is a correlation between fracking and health problems caused by air pollution. In the near future we hope to expand these collaborative image analysis projects to new states and other issues like oil spills and mining.
Skytruthing the Bakken: With growing public attention on wasteful natural gas flaring in the Bakken Shale, and new satellite data to help us investigate the problem, over 65 people generously helped us raise $4,100 to launch a skytruthing mission in western North Dakota. On the night of Sept. 1, we launched cameras and sensors on a high-altitude weather balloon over the oilfield, and recovered the rig 135 miles away near the town of Zap. We're editing a short documentary about this expedition and we plan to release it early next year in conjunction with a dynamic map of global flaring activity.
MTR Database: Our database tracking the footprint of mountaintop removal (MTR) mining in Appalachia continues to be used in ground-breaking research on this destructive mining practice. Two new peer-reviewed papers citing our database were released in 2013, one measuring the increased occurrence of depression in regions impacted by MTR and the other tallying the cumulative affects of mining on forest cover and other less-studied variables in mined ecosystems. The full list of studies supported by this unique satellite-derived database can be found on our redesigned website – www.skytruth.org.
We've had a lot of milestones in 2013, but we need your help to carry the momentum forward into the new year. We're making big steps toward launching a skytruthing movement, taking imagery and putting it where anyone can help study issues like fracking through simple image analysis tasks. We're cultivating ways to use satellites to tackle illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing on the far side of the globe and tracking wasteful natural gas flaring around the world.
The area in red marks the extent of MTR mining in West
Virginia, Kentucky, Virginia and Tennessee, as of 2005.
Your support can help us update this important dataset.
In 2014 we need to overcome the technical limitations that have prevented us from updating our FracFocus database since June, and we hope to map new mountaintop mining since 2005. Ultimately, we aim inspire the skytruthing movement, where anyone can easily access the data and imagery needed to understand environmental issues and protect the places you care about.
P.S.Don't wait! The Earth is hurtling toward the end of the year at 67,062 miles per hour!

7 Days in Havana
15 cert, 129 min
Dir: Laurent Cantet, Benicio del Toro et al.stars: Josh Hutcherson, Emir Kusturica, Elia Suleiman, Daniel Brühl
The notorious unevenness of portmanteau projects is proved once more in this Cuba-set collage from seven different filmmakers. Benicio del Toro gets it off to a fluid start, following Josh Hutcherson as an adventurous student having a night on the tiles. There's a superbly photographed segment from Elia Suleiman, who plays a Tati-esque holidaymaker, and Gaspar Noe typically rattles taboos with a witch doctor's purification ritual after two girls are found in bed together. Elsewhere, Julio Medem's entry is pretty disastrous, and several others merely dull, but even these weaker parts do conjure scattered flavours of La Vida Habanera. The gravest impediment is the bloated running time.

Marina Abramovi'c: The Artist is Present
15 cert, 106 min
Dir: Matthew Akers
The Serbian performance artist Marina Abramovi´c created a static, silent 2010 show in the atrium of New York's Museum of Modern Art, inviting spectators to take turns sitting opposite her. They often came away crying; some tried to make their own artistic statements, but were stopped by security. Beginning as an overview of her career, this fascinating doc closes in on the show and its many revealing encounters, asking us to consider face-to-face engagement as a way of dissolving the barriers between an artist and her public.

You've Been Trumped
12A cert, 95 min
Dir: Anthony Baxter
Donald Trump's landscaping of a large chunk of the Aberdeenshire coastline to carve out "the best golf course in the world" has its fervent opponents, not least the residents he wants out of the way, and documentarist Anthony Baxter, a polite fellow surprised to find himself strong-armed by police for his mere presence. The movie is clearly reasoned and elegantly constructed.

Dir: Frances Lea stars: Anna Madeley, Christine Bottomley, Emun Elliott
This distinctive but frustrating debut indulges in strangely old-fashioned psychodrama: two troubled sisters vie for the attentions of Elliott's handsome fruit-picker. The film's visual assets are clearer than its batty storytelling.

There was a brief moment when the French publicity surrounding this sleazy adultery comedy looked to be jeopardising Jean Dujardin's Oscar campaign.

All About Ms. Gans
Over the last two years, as I have spent time working closely with other computer science professionals, I have come to appreciate the magnitude of our vision to ensure computer science education for all. I have also come to realize that an important component to a CS education is the need to educate students (and parents) about the crucial role technology plays in society. In particular, I want them to experience how computing can be more than a media and entertainment outlet. It can be a tool for change.
Recent studies have shown that, by the time they are 8 years old, 60% of children have used handheld games, 81% have played console games, and 90% have used a computer. While on the surface, these numbers may be a cause for celebration, I would argue that in today's techno savvy world, this emphasis on gaming is short-sighted.
For example, last December, I participated in the global event, Random Hacks of Kindness. It was an eye-opening experience. Working with other computer professionals and humanitarians showed me how the two can come together to create technical solutions for social good. Looking to duplicate that experience for the K-8 population, I organized Random Hacks of Kindness Junior (www.rhok.org/event/rhok-junior).

On Sunday August 27th the Dream Masquerade Carnival Tea Party took place in 1 Whitehall Place. Although the main event had taken up a lot of energy, I was still quite excited for the Tea Party. My parents and I had breakfast together and after that, my dad went to explore for a bit while I got dressed and my mom kept me company (and helped me a bit too).
I had planned on a fairly simple outfit, combining my beautiful Fantasic Dolly dress with a black, off-shoulder blouse, pink socks and black shoes. I had tried out a simple updo with flowers for my hair to combine it with, however I changed my mind. My new Triple Fortune hat matched my Tea Party outfit so well that I decided to wear that instead! I rarely change my outfit plans to accommodate a new purchase, so this was quite a big deal for me! I played around with hairstyles for a bit, but eventually settled on a side pony tail that I could rest the hat on.
My dad returned and the three of us left the hotel. This time we did take the bus, which was incredibly nice, because we could sit at the top of the bus, so we had a lovely view. The bus stopped at Leicester Square, from where we could walk to the venue in about 10 minutes. But since we had time left, we first took some pictures of my outfit. My mom took some really beautiful ones in the shade of the great, stone lions in the middle of the square. After that, we started walking in the direction of the venue. When we entered a side street with lots of trees, it was my dad(!) who suggested to take pictures here because the light was just so beautiful! That really melted my heart. ♥
So this was my outfit! I really hope you like it. ^^
♥ Triple Fantasic Fortune ♥
My outfit rundown:
Hat: Triple Fortune
Blouse: Primark
JSK: Angelic Pretty's Fantasic Dolly
Socks: Angelic Pretty
Shoes: Primark
Flowers: offbrand
Earrings: Claire's
Necklace: RoseMarie Seoir
Button: Imai Kira
Bracelets: offbrand
We walked on to the venue while continuously taking pictures. My mom actually took some really nice ones of me and my dad while reading a city map. It's nice to have my dad appear on my blog after so long again!
I love this picture so much! And with those red buses it just screams 'London'!
We soon arrived at the venue, where some people were already waiting. I said goodbye to my parents and joined my friends. Everyone looked as lovely as the day before! I was surrounded by the most varying outfits.
Waiting in line to enter.

Not long after, we were allowed inside. We were led to a big room downstairs, which was apparently a waiting room. More and more people joined us and it became quite stuffy. We waited for a long time, even past the start of the Tea Party time. As soon as there seemed to be movement, everyone ran for the door, which was not the best idea. x) I hung on to a friend and luckily managed to get out of the waiting room pretty quickly, after which I could have my ticket checked and follow everyone to the Tea Party room.

The Tea Party room was very beautiful. It reminded me a bit of the grand hall of a medieval castle: lots of brown and other wood colours, which big chandeliers and tapestries on the walls. There were countless tables everywhere and I ended up on one of the middle tables with an incredible group of girls, next to Emilie and dear Charlie! I was so happy to sit with some new people and people I already knew. Everyone was just so sweet! ♥
The beautiful Tea Party hall.

All the tables were filled with goodies for the guests. I have to admit it was a bit unclear to me what exactly everyone got, because there seemed to be more items on the table than seats, but everyone surely received an Angelic Pretty fake tattoo sheet, a sticker sheet, a Milkribbon card, a fan and a button (I actually somehow ended up with two). I especially loved the button, since it was from Angelic Pretty and had a London theme. The fans were also a big hit. There were two versions, one of them being dark read and baring the text: 'I said NO pictures!'
The Angelic Pretty button everyone received. Isn't it super cute!?

I explored the hall for a bit with Emilie once she arrived. The raffle table was filled with incredible prizes and the special guests were already sitting at the head table.
Checking out the prizes on the raffle table is an important part of a Lolita Tea Party!
Emilie and I managed to quickly get a picture with Maki and Asuka again. Goal achieved early! They both looked so lovely in their own styles! I loved Maki's classic pink princess look (with a hat, yay) and Asuka in her circus look. Also, apparently Asuka was playing around with a red paper mask she had been wearing or been given all the time, which was just too cute!
Lovely Maki and Asuka. ♥
And we also walked into Babi and Kaie, who were already doing kabedon early! I got one and Emilie did too! Lots of emotions so early and the Tea Party had barely started! Also, the Triple Fortune designers were happy to see I was already wearing my hat, yay! While writing this I keep thinking… Should I post this picture too? Can my readers handle it..? Well, let's just do it! 8D
I couldn't choose, so… both! Either way, as you can see I was enjoying it haha!
Pictures by Emilie.
Everyone seemed to have arrived and the food was being served, so we sat down at our table. I Just as we wanted to start eating, the staff suggested we take the group picture early, so there wouldn't be a hassle at the end of the Tea Party! It was an interesting choice and some people didn't really want to get up from their table, but most (including me) did. We all walked back to the grand stair case and posed for a while, trying to all get together as closely as possible. I ended up not being in the frame after all though, oh well. XD

We returned to the main hall and sat back down. The food was so amazing! There were finger sandwiches, scones with jam and clotted cream and pastries. Everything was so good! ♥
The food at the Tea Party was so delicious!
Left and upper right picture by Emilie.
Tea Parties are always a lot more relaxed: there is less of a schedule and more time to walk around and chat, which is exactly what we did! At first I took some selfies with people at my table and people visiting my table, like dear Poppy!
For some reason my camera wouldn't focus on me,
but I still really like these two pictures! ♥
After we had eaten enough, Emilie and I left the table, walked around a lot and took pictures with people. Everybody looked so beautiful, so many great outfits were worn that day! And it was lovely to chat with more people, like with Marlessa, Rosie and especially with Stephanie. Chances are likely I'll never see her again, which is a sad thought because she is such a sweetheart! I feel incredibly lucky I got the chance to meet her in person!
Clockwise from the top left: Poppy and Alexander, me with Marlessa,

Shout out to the group of girls braving the heat and showing up wearing Puppet Circus to create the long-promised Puppet Circus army! I'm glad the photographer got a nice shot of them together. ♥
The amazing Puppet Circus army!

This post won't be too long this time, because otherwise I'd only bore you with 'And then I met so and so, after which I talked to so and so'. Let's not do that this time. ^^ I talked to a lot of people, let's just keep it at that. However, naturally a picture with my dear friend and partner in crime cannot be missing! Also, I would like to mention that Emilie looked so beautiful in her Tea Party outfit! It was just so her style, she looked amazing!
Love. ♥
The raffle was announced, so everybody sat down in their seats again. But first, we got a speech. The organisers thanked everyone for coming and reflected a bit on their previous events. They thanked the special guests and we all applauded.
Then, suddenly and right behind me, someone rose to their feet and proposed to their partner! And the answer was yes! Everyone cheered and clapped and it was so beautiful! ♥
Then it was time for the special guests to pick their favourite outfits! This is always quite an exciting moment, because it's so hard to predict who they will choose! All their choices were quite unexpected (as in; none of the winners wore the designers' brands exclusively)!
All the special guests together.
Picture by Emilie.
Then we got another speech, where we clapped for all the individual organisers. And suddenly, everything turned very emotional, because the organisers announced that this event, their 10th Anniversary Event, would be the Tea Party Club's last. I wasn't surprised, but many people were shocked and cried. It was all very emotional. ♥ If you want to see a bit of the speech, please check out my video at the end of this post Then the raffle started! There were many amazing prizes and I ended up winning an adorable pink Swimmer box with my no. 100! But before the organisers would hand it over to me, Michaela requested another fierce fan snap like I had done during the Fashion Fix, so of course I obliged. Everyone cheered, it was so great! ♥ It was a precious and lovely moment! ;___;
Many more lovely prizes were won, including a Mr Yan body pillow, which was met with lots of cheering. XD Also, when Dom won a lovely Angelic Pretty set, this was naturally received with lots of cheering and laughter as well.
The Tea Party was coming to an end, so I went around with my packets of Dutch stroopwafels to give to the organisers and event staff and quickly snuck some more pictures with people. I was very happy I could have a quick picture with Imai Kira and Madame Pretty. Imai Kira used her new fan, it was so cute!
With Imai Kira and Madame Pretty. ♥
Emilie and I left the main hall and headed for the bathroom, where I got changed back into normal clothes again with her help (the toilets looked very beautiful by the way). Outside, I met with my parents who were sitting at a statue. They chatted a bit with some of my friends, while I quickly took outfit pictures and videos for other people. Then, we said goodbye to everyone and went back to the hotel. We had dinner at a restaurant close to the hotel, which was lovely, and then went to sleep. It had been a very eventful day.
Gifts of the day
And to end this post, here is the video I made of the Tea Party! This video also came out quite nicely, so please take a look if you have time! ♥
Thank you for reading! ~☆~

A while ago I bought 'The Jewish New Testament", as translated by David Stern and the Commentary that goes with it. If you want to really understand and enjoy the NT, I highly recommend both. Here's a little example, taken from Mark 3:5
"Then, looking them over and feeling both anger with them and sympathy for them at the stoniness of their hearts, he said to the man, "Hold out your hand." As he held it out, it became restored."
Commentary: And sympathy for them. Greek sullupoumenos, found only here in the New Testament, means "grieving with someone." Such a mixture of two emotions, anger and at the same time sympathy, is a normal and appropriate reaction to people whose hearts display stoniness (Greek porosis; see Ro 11:7-8 and notes). Stoniness - dullness, insensitivity, intellectual blindness, stubbornness.

It's pretty easy to be pessimistic. There are a long list of things that make me grievously unhappy. In fact, I read an interesting quote today.
"Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know." –Ernest Hemingway
The resultant level of misery can certainly be difficult to overcome. But, if the way the world is makes you unhappy, you must have an idea of what you'd do differently, right? So, what would you do if you were given the opportunity to help make the world you want to live in? Once you ponder that for a moment, consider this.
You DO have the ability to help make the world you want to live in.
Myself? I wish that people were more thoughtful. More kind. More respectful. Admittedly, I'm a space cadet, so the thoughtful thing can be a bit difficult at times for me. But, I learned late last year just how therapeutic for the soul it can be to step up your game on making the world you want to live in. See, I've always enjoyed doing little stuff. For instance, shoveling for my neighbor. I used to do that sometimes even for our neighbors in Illinois. I've always thought that it was important to treat people with respect. But, I've learned that with just a little bit of money, you can change people.
After participating in the "secret Santa" initiative last year, I had a woman tell me that her teenage daughter felt so blessed to have been there when I went in to the local grocery store, that she cried all evening.
Last Mothers' Day, again, I anonymously bought groceries for a woman at that same grocery store. No particular reason, just wanted to do so. It seems I need to work on my anonymity. About a week and a half later, Betty told me that there was a card at the service desk for me. The card made it clear that I'd touched the woman very deeply. She threw around terms and compliments that I was not comfortable with, but the fact of the matter is, me and my $25 made a DIFFERENCE for her. I improved her spirit. I lifted her up. I can't express how that made me feel.
Since that date, I haven't had any shenanigans at the local grocery store…yet. Well, except for purchasing three or four full Thanksgiving Dinners for families that need a little bit of hope right here in town. But, I've become a bit addicted to buying breakfast for older people. You know the guys, the ones that are at your local diner, eating by themselves. They never order anything extravagant It's just part of what they do. And part of what *I* love to do is anonymously pay for their breakfast. But, I think that I'm going to change up my routine a little bit. I think one of these days, I'm going to ask them to join us. I not only want them to discover that someone is thinking about them, but I want them to know that I'm interested in what they have to say. They have a lifetime of stories to share. It'd be a shame not to share them.
And at the end of the day, I assure you. You feel better about the world you live in. And YOU helped to create it.

ECLECTIC RANT: Report on Our Annual Trip to the Big Apple
My wife and I just returned from our annual, week-long visit to New York City. Long ago, we did the usual tourist stuff such as visits to the Statue of Liberty, the United Nations, the Cloisters, and a ride on the Staten Island ferry. Now we concentrate on seeing as many shows as possible -- usually eight -- and visits to museums. This year, we saw eight plays and visited the Metropolitan Museum, the Museum of Modern Act, and the Neue Gallery. -more-

Math Tutoring on Multiplying Polynomials
To multiply monomials, we need to multiply the coefficients and then multiply the variables using the product rule for exponents as stated here. Remember, we are allowed to change the order of multiple multiplication due to the commutative property of multiplication. To multiply two polynomials, we multiply each term in one polynomial by each term in the other polynomial and then simplify by combining like terms in right and descending order. To two binomials (a+b) and (c+d) we apply FOIL method, where First terms: ac, Outer terms: ad, Inner terms: bc, Last terms: bd. Another special product is the product of a sum and difference, like (a+b) and (a-b). The product of the sum and difference of the same two terms is the square of the first term minus the square of the second term. (a+b)(a-b) = a² b², this is called a Difference of squares. There are special formulas for the square of binomials: (a+b)² = a² + 2ab + b² and (a-b)² = a² - 2ab + b² .

Game of the week: Lafollette beats Middleton 3-0 in Big 8 girls softball
MADISON, Wis. — Behind 15 strikeouts from senior pitcher Nicole Newman, Lafollette beat Middleton 3-0 Thursday afternoon at Olbrich park in our Prep Mania Game of the Week.
The Lancers scored two runs in the bottom of the first. Amy Lanzendorf had an RBI.
Newman struck out eight of the first nine batters she faced. She gave up a bunt hit in the fourth. She only allowed two hits and no runs.
Afterward, Newman was asked if she gets frustrated when teams try to bunt on her.
"Not at all. I keep throwing to my catcher and keep throwing strikes and I can relax and my defense at our corners are always ready. I can just rely on them right now. We are making plays and that is great," said Newman.
The state tournament is about a month away and Newman hopes the Lancers keep getting better.
"There is no limit at all once we get hitting and get a few runs in the first inning like we did today. We need to still keep going and putting the pedal on the gas that makes us play better. We are calm and relaxed; we can just play ball," said Newman.

The device features a dual-lens camera that enables users to capture 3D images which can then be viewed on the 4.3-inch WVGA glasses-free display.
Connectivity options including HDMI and DLNA also make it easy for users to transfer their recorded content to other devices.
The LG Optimus Pad has a 8.9-inch display and is designed to be comfortable to use one-handed. The tablet has a 15:9 aspect ratio and Full HD 1080p decoding on a 1280 x 768 WXGA resolution widescreen display.
LG's tablet runs on a 1GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core processor and is the world's first tablet with a built-in 3D camera, enabling users to capture images and video content to be viewed on a high definition 3D TV or shared on the web via YouTube 3D.

Canon iX6520 Driver
Canon PIXMA iX6520 Driver Download – The Canon Pixma iX6520 driver has just one paper-input tray, and also the amount of sheets it could hold at a time varies by paper kind and dimension. Those limitations could be a concern if you hope to utilize the Canon Pixma iX6520 to automate large-document print jobs. The tray can hold 150 sheets of simple paper at a time, which excels, however the output tray could capture only 50 sheets of it prior to you'll have to bring your tasks. With picture paper, you can pack 20 sheets of 4×6-inch stock or 10 sheets of 8.5 x11. That number drops to just a single sheet at once when you utilize 13×19-inch picture paper.
Canon Pixma iX6520 Printing Performance
In our examinations, the Canon Pixma iX6520 supplied print speeds similiar to those of most AIO inkjet printers we've seen. It's rather slower than standard when publishing message, as well as a bit quicker compared to average when printing pictures, which is the balance we anticipate to see from a photo-centric printer.
We started our testing with our 10-page test file of blended text as well as graphics, making use of the standard-quality print mode. The Pixma iX6520 completed the very first page of the record in 14.4 seconds, and all 10 web pages in 1 min and also 53 secs. That's close to what we saw from the likewise valued Canon Pixma MG8120 all-in-one printer: 16.5 secs for the initial web page, and 1:43 for the entire record.
We then presented our 8.5×11-inch test image data. Once again utilizing the standard-quality print setting, the Canon Pixma iX6520 completed the picture in 1 minute and also 23 secs. That contrasts favorably with the 1:02 we saw from the Pixma MG8120. When we switched to the top notch print setup, the Pixma iX6520 took a little bit much longer, finishing the picture in 1:41.
[irp posts="3325″ name="Canon PIXMA iX6550 Driver Download"]
Lastly, with our 4×6-inch test image file, using the standard-quality print setting, the Pixma iX6520 churned out our examination prints in 26.4 secs, compared with 21.7 seconds with the Pixma MG8120. Changing to the top quality setup slowed down the Canon Pixma iX6520 dramatically, raising the print time to 50.2 seconds.

So I posted an apple cider recipe a month and a half ago, but had forgotten my (rather extensive, inebriating) testing last year. After finding my notes, I felt I should inform you all of the superior recipe and the important changes: First, toast the spices before adding them to the mulling ball. This mellows and richens their flavor, definitely an important step. Second, if you wait until the end to add the pomegranate or cranberry juice, it keeps it's zing, whereas longer simmering will soften the pomegranate juice flavor. So, the new and improved (old) recipe:

Measles outbreak in Minnesota
There is a measles outbreak in Minneapolis, Minnesota. There are now 66 cases. The vast majority have been in the local Somali community. Vaccination rates in 2-3 year olds has fallen to 41% in recent years.
About 8 years local Somalis started to notice increasing numbers of their children were in special needs classes in school, many diagnosed with autism. It caused alarm in the community. Those who oppose vaccinations starting giving talks in the community proposing a connection between the MMR vaccine and the rates of autism. Mother's stopped having their children vaccinated or they were waiting later to vaccinate to see if their child would develop normally.
Immigrant communities are often isolated due to language barriers. It is natural to live in communities together when you share a culture and language and are in a new, often scary place. In Minneapolis, many Somalis live in a few high density high rises. It is a nightmare scenario for an epidemic: people living in very close proximity to each other sharing elevators, laundry rooms, children playing with each other. Everyone shops at nearby stores, goes to cafes in the neighborhood. People who can't speak English get their news from within the community. Word travels fast among mothers when children are being adversely affected.
Add to this the fact that Minnesota requires vaccinations for school age children, but parents are allowed to "opt out" if they have philosophical objections. All of these elements have led to the current outbreak. Health officials are scrambling to get it under control.
What is the answer to preventing this in the future? It's a tough one. Education first and foremost. Factual information for the community. There has been no decrease in autism since vaccination rates have decreased. The rate of autism for the Somali population is not higher than that of the rest of the community. Measles can kill. Perhaps take away the opt out of vaccination rule. No vaccination, no school. Your child will have to be home schooled.
Most of all, the health departments need to hire members of the local community to educate immigrant populations about health care. They need someone who looks like them, knows their community, someone they can trust, to advocate and educate them.

Pricing & Negotiating: Stock Licensing
Jess Dudley, Wonderful Machine
Licensing: Web Collateral use of up to three images for two years
Photographer: Southeast-based portrait specialist
Agency: N/A – Client Direct
Client: The philanthropic arm of a recognizable consumer brand
Here is the estimate:
A seasoned portrait photographer came to us looking for assistance pricing a stock licensing agreement for a large corporation interested in using three existing images on the ".org" website of their philanthropic division. The shoot had originally been commissioned by an editorial client for a piece about the subject's philanthropic endeavors and organizations, so before determining the value, we first had to review the original commissioning agreement to ensure the photographer had the ability/permission to license the images to a third party. Even the most favorable editorial agreements typically include an embargo period which may prevent one from licensing content for a reasonable period of time after publishing and some of the least favorable editorial agreements restrict licensing in more substantial ways. As it happened, these images were available to license, so on we went.
The difficulty with determining the value of any licensing, as it is all so subjective and project specific, is figuring out an anchor price from which to adjust, based on the various contributing factors. At Wonderful Machine, we use a tried-and-true benchmark that sets the baseline cost for collateral use ("Collateral" use is when the work appears in or on a platform that the client wholly controls and produces, such as a company website, annual report, brochure, or social media profile, and is intended to promote a commercial product, service, personality or brand) of one image, for one year, at around $1000, and additional images licensed for concurrent use should be worth about 50% as much as the first image. We also use a pricing model that assumes a doubling of the duration of use should increase the worth by about 50% more than the initial duration value. These "rules" can break down really quickly, as general rules tend to do when you move too far from the baseline. In this case, however, we were still very much within the tolerances.
Pricing this project out based on these guidelines would set the value of the first image at $1500, and each additional image at $750, for a total licensing fee of $3000. With this anchor in mind, I began factoring in all of the variables that apply upward or downward pressure on the value. Much like estimating licensing fees for a commissioned shoot, valuing stock requires you to consider the prominence of the client, scope & duration of the requested use, and the importance of the content to a given "campaign." But you also have to consider the uniqueness of the subject matter, availability of similar images in the marketplace and the prospects & costs of recreating the content (or very similar content).
These images didn't depict the client's products or services in any way and the subject matter wasn't terribly unique – the images were lovely, straightforward, environmental portraits of the subject in her workspace. Although the content didn't make these images unique, the availability of similar images, or lack thereof, did. There were very few stock images available in the marketplace. This applied upward pressure on the value of the images. Also, reshooting was pretty much off the table because of the subject's scheduling constraints and general aversion to being photographed. This, combined with the general inconvenience and uncertainty of commissioning a new shoot, meant that we could push past any reshoot "price ceiling" that may typically apply. So not only are existing images rare, but creating new photos would be a tall order. Again, this pushed the value up. The license was limited to web collateral use which tugged the baseline number down (our guideline is based on both print and web). But since the client is an arm of a name-brand multinational mega-company, the value jumped, even though the particular arm of the organization is 100% philanthropic in nature.
The intended use of the pictures was informational, almost editorial. The client was interested in the images because the subject ran an organization that relied on the client's products and services to further the organization's core mission of doing some form of good in the world. The client was basically writing a case study about how they'd partnered with the subject to help her to do good. Additionally, this was one of many such case studies on the client's website, meaning it was valuable to the client, but not mission critical, exerting downward pressure on the value. Finally, the case study could be effective with one image, but three would be slightly more impactful by offering a touch of variety. If the client had been requesting images that each featured a different founder, we'd be less likely to drop the additional image rate quite so much, if at all. All this to say that our usual price breaks for additional images would be appropriate.
Taken together, I felt the upward pressures were more significant than the downward pressures. Accordingly, I added 50% premium to the baseline rate ($3000) to account for the additional value, setting the quote at $4500.
There's an opportunity to push the envelope a bit when pricing stock because, in most instances, the photographer has more leverage and is dealing with a captive audience. In this case, I may not have pushed the envelope enough, as the client quickly accepted and returned the signed quote. Even though the photographer was happy with the fee, I still wondered if perhaps there was a little dough left on the table.
If you have any questions, or if you need help estimating or producing a project, please give us a call at (610) 260-0200. We're available to help with any and all pricing and negotiating needs—from small stock sales to large ad campaigns.

Thinking of a Black Floral wedding? Imagining an elegant black-tie affair? Do it right and be inspired by our "Bridesmaid and Paper" post today! We are truly serving some modern and elegant look with our picks today!
Initially inspired by the Jenny Yoo dress which we spotted on Nordstrom, we wanted to create a quick inspiration board for someone interested in a Black Floral wedding. It's a unique combination because people hardly think of flowers when the color black is heard. However when done right can be very glam, modern and gorgeous!! We have found the beautiful mix of black bridesmaids dresses with floral wedding stationery.
For our bridesmaids dresses, we parked over at Nordstrom which as you all know has GORGEOUS dresses! One thing about a black bridesmaids dress is that it's easily re-wearable. So after playing the bridesmaids role, you can whip it out for other events (formal or semi-formal) once you dress it up with the appropriate accessories.
Our dress selection ended up being the Alfred Sung Dupioni Trumpet Gown. An elegant and timeless gown with a structured bodice that gives way to a gracefully flared trumpet skirt. The striking style is finished with a pretty bow and a geometric cutout in back.
For the paper goods, we looked at the gorgeous black and floral wedding invitations and stationery. Though we settled on our ideal 3, there's much more you need to take a peek at! Our 3 selections were the Romantic Floral Wedding Invitation, Modern Arrangement Enclosure Card and the Radiant Ranunculus Wedding Invitation.

Recently saw a wedding with black motif for bridesmaid, I did not liked it. Maybe it was the design because upon seeing this set, it changed my perspective on black motif.

With the changing time, irrespective of the convenient ways to help Canadians buy homes easily, there's not much easy options available during the time of a new budget. Though, while reading the recent changes in the budget, one can learn about some steps which exist for "housing affordability measures" applicable in certain areas. In this light, a residential mortgage broker can also provide the needful guidelines and clever trick to get home easily. When extending the topic, one gets to hear about 3 measures which are primarily focused on the relationship between the federal budget and home buyers as mentioned below:
Incentives for first-time residential buyers
When getting into detail about certain incentives launched for first-time residential buyers, one gets to know that it is an "equity program" which helps to bring down high payments for the mortgage. In order to avail such incentives, you must be present in the category of "first-time residential buyers" without about 5% saved down-payment. In such a case, CMHC (Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation) grants 5% (from the house cost which is already existing) or 10% (from the new house, including the loan which is free from any interest until you legally sell the house or property to someone else). Hence, the buyers who are eligible for such incentives will be holding the least amount of debt which ultimately decreased down the payment for a mortgage on a monthly basis.
When exploring a new house, it is clearly noticeable that it comes with some additional uplifting for buying it. In order to stand in the list of eligible applicants, it is a must for you to have the level of household income up to $120,000. In addition, your borrowings (along with the portion of incentive) should remain less than 4 multiples of your total income (or household income). When searching out the maximum price to purchase, then it comes out around $505,000 along with a 5% fall. With the help of a professional residential mortgage broker, you can easily find out the ways for deriving benefits from the latest launched program.
Uplifting the plan of household buyers
In cases of residential property buying, it is always troubling to get the first deposit amount. In the program, it is clearly mentioned the first-time household buyers are allowed to take borrowings (up to $25,000) the Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) for the purpose of settling down the first deposit. At present, the limit has been raised up to $35,000. Normally, it is a known fact that any withdrawal generated from RRSP would invite the payment of tax. With the help of framing such a governmental plan, it has become convenient for the buyer to take borrowings from his or her own savings plan. The lending generated from an RRSP is bound to be paid back within a time period of about 15 years.
Schemes for divorced individuals
All the divorced individuals hold a privilege of taking borrowings from RRSP without the payment of any tax associated with any withdrawal. Past individuals faced a great problem since they do not stand in the category of any "first-time household buyer," but they have turned single from their marriage and searching for a new home to settle down separately from the marital status. With the coming of the federal budget (2019), it has become convenient for all these people to stand in the list of qualified persons for buying a home and settling down the first deposit from the RRSP. In addition, hiring a residential mortgage broker would be really helpful to avail the schemes for a divorced individual.

New York's attorney general filed civil fraud charges Monday against a hedge fund manager who funneled $2.4 billion to Wall Street swindler Bernard Madoff without telling clients where their money was going.
The complaint accuses J. Ezra Merkin, the former chairman of GMAC Financial Services, of concealing his links to Madoff and lying to investors about what he was doing with their money, telling most he was personally investing their cash in things like distressed debt.
Over the years, Merkin collected $470 million in fees and performance bonuses from his clients, the suit said. It said many of those customers, which included several large charities and colleges, had no idea where their money really was until December, when Madoff was arrested.
"Merkin duped individual investors, non-profits, and charities into believing he was responsibly managing their investments, when in actuality he was dumping them into history's largest Ponzi scheme," Attorney General Andrew Cuomo said in a statement.
The complaint also accused Merkin of mingling his personal funds with the accounts of his management company, Gabriel Capital Group, and using some of the company's funds for personal purchases, including $91 million worth of artwork for his apartment.
Merkin's attorney, Andrew Levander, called the lawsuit "hasty," ''ill-conceived" and "without merit, and he denied that clients had been kept in the dark.
"Contrary to the attorney general's allegation, investors in the Ascot Funds were well aware that the money was being invested with Madoff," Levander said in a statement. Some of those investors had even met with Madoff personally, he said.
He said Merkin had investigated and analyzed Madoff and his trading strategy before investing.
"Unfortunately," he wrote, "Mr. Merkin's due diligence, just like the detailed investigations performed by countless others, including regulators, was thwarted by the intricate, fraudulent scheme perpetrated by Madoff."
Merkin also lost millions of dollars of his own money in the scheme, although those dollar amounts pale in comparison to the losses of his clients. One of Merkin's funds, Ascot Partners, sunk nearly every penny of its more than $1.7 billion in assets into Madoff's scheme.
Cuomo's suit, filed in state court in Manhattan, demands that Merkin repay all of the fees he collected from his clients over the years, plus damages.
The lawsuit is the second major regulatory action by a state against one of Madoff's so-called "feeder funds," which supplied him with billions of dollars in investor money.
On April 1, Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin accused Fairfield Greenwich Group of Connecticut of civil fraud for activities related to investments with Madoff.
Galvin accused the company, which had a $7.2 billion account with Madoff, of failing to disclose concerns about Madoff's operation to investors. Fairfield Greenwich officials have, like Merkin, also professed that they were innocent victims of the scam.
Madoff pleaded guilty in March to swindling thousands of investors out of billions of dollars in what could be the largest Ponzi scheme in history.
Many of those investors came to Madoff indirectly through hedge funds like Fairfield and Ascot.
Some of those investors have also sued. And Merkin was sued Monday in New York by Mortimer Zuckerman, the real estate magnate and publisher of the New York Daily News. Zuckerman said in the suit that he and his charitable trust collectively lost $40 million in the scheme.

Kids for a Quid available for Bournemouth clash
CEO Mark Jenkins is the man who has to make the tough decisions as Albion battle for Barclays Premier League success.
And in this weekend's edition of Albion News, he talks frankly about the problem of striking the right balance between ticket revenue and price rises.
The Baggies are forever trying turnstiles initiatives and are currently offering "Kids for a Quid" for the December 19 clash against AFC Bournemouth.
However, for the first time in five years Albion raised tickets prices last summer – although only back to 2010 levels - and Jenkins explains in detail how the impact of Financial Fair Play played a key role in forcing Albion's hand.
Under FFP, players wages cannot exceed the previous year by around £4million unless a club can boost its spending from areas outside the huge media deals.
Jenkins says: "If your commercial income including ticket sales grows by £5million for example, you can add that growth to the salary pot.
"Ticket income is one of those income streams, which, going back to the starting point of this article, is why we felt we needed to make some kind of increase in prices this season."
And as Albion launch a fresh drive for half season tickets sales, he proudly backs up the Club's record of offering the cheapest Premier League football on the planet.
He adds: "Even though they went up by £50 for the full adult season ticket, Sky's survey of Premier League prices back in June still found that on average, across the board, we are still the cheapest. We are very pleased about that because we want to offer the best possible value in an area with its own economic issues to contend with.
"Season ticket renewals were in line with what we'd had the previous year, so I think people accepted the necessity of the new price structure. And now, the half season tickets are an extension of that philosophy, reflecting the same kind of increase pro rata across the 10 games."
And if that's not enough to whet your appetite for Albion News this weekend, there's plenty more inside as we go goalkeeper crazy with in in-depth interview with Boaz Myhill and Jonathan Gould telling one of the most outrageous sending off stories you'll ever read, plus plenty more besides.
On top of that, at every game this season there will be a special Albion News giveaway. One specially signed programme will be in circulation and if you are lucky enough to buy it, you will win a prize culled from deep within the dressing room – approprriately enough this week, we're giving away a pair of signed shorts from Mr 300, Chris Brunt.
As well as the usual sales points in & around the stadium, there are new locations where you can pick up your Albion News. They are: The Sportsman (High St), @TheVineFood (Roebuck Street), the new Supporters Club (Roebuck Lane), The Hawthorns train/Metro station, outside the cricket club, outside East End Foods car park, outside Hughes (Birmingham Road) and inside the Fanzone.
Albion News: more than just a football programme. If Albion is your religion, this is your hymn book. Has been for years. You should try it.
You know it makes sense.
