Santa Rosa Academy Receives National Recognition for Commitment to Empowering Students
Santa Rosa Academy named a distinguished district for STEM and career learning program
Menifee, CA – Santa Rosa Academy announced today that it has been recognized as a Project Lead The Way (PLTW) Distinguished District for providing broad access to transformative learning opportunities for students through its PLTW programs. It is one of just over 30 districts across the U.S. to receive this honor. PLTW is a nonprofit organization that serves millions of K-12 students and teachers in over 10,500 schools across the U.S.
Mrs. Laura Badillo, Santa Rosa Academy's Executive Director stated:"We are so excited to have received this honor! We have been a Project Lead the Way school for the last 10 years; piloting and adding programs as they have been developed. Our K-12 program is an incredible array of rigorous and engaging activities that our students thoroughly enjoy!"
The PLTW Distinguished District recognition honors districts committed to increasing student access, engagement, and achievement in their PLTW programs. To be eligible for the designation, Santa Rosa Academy had to have had 20 percent or more of its students in each grade, K-12, participate in a PLTW program during the 2016-17 school year.
Through PLTW programs, students develop STEM knowledge as well as in-demand, transportable skills that they will use both in school and for the rest of their lives, on any career path they take. As PLTW students progress through grades K-12, they are empowered to engage in problem solving and process thinking, develop technical knowledge and skills, build communication skills, and explore career opportunities.

The purpose of ITMIG is to promote the advancement of clinical and basic science pertaining to thymic malignancies and related mediastinal conditions. ITMIG is an academic organization that provides structure, organization and scientific rigor to research in these diseases.
ITMIG is a non-profit organization registered in the US with approved 501(c)(3) status.
ITMIG will develop and maintain infrastructure to facilitate international collaboration, coordinate and develop research initiatives, maintain close collaboration with other related organizations, and promote dissemination of knowledge as related to thymic malignancies and other mediastinal conditions. To accomplish this ITMIG will conduct specific projects, publications and hold an annual scientific meeting.
Membership is formally defined as described in this document.
The organization is governed by a steering committee, consisting of officers elected by the membership. Accomplishment of the mission is aided by several standing committees (Steering committee, Research/Infrastructure committee, Communication committee, Education Committee, Finance/Development committee, Nominating committee) and subcommittees (database, retro-/prospective research, tissue bank and biology, clinical trials, standards and quality, membership, regional leaders, advocates). This is supplemented by workgroups to address specific finite tasks and which are created and dissolved under the direction of the Steering committee.
The officers and councilors are elected by the membership to a 2 year term, and may be re-elected once. After a hiatus of 2 years, they may occasionally be elected again, starting a new cycle. The President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer are elected 1 year prior to assuming office in order to provide overlap and maintain continuity.
ITMIG is governed by an elected eight member Steering Committee consisting of the President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and four Councilors. This body also has additional non- voting members: the Executive director (a paid individual to manage organization, maintain continuity and momentum, who shall be appointed by the Steering Committee) the immediate past president, and when applicable, incoming "elect" officers (President-elect, Vice President-elect, Secretary-elect, Treasurer-elect.).
The steering committee should involve a balance of specialties, geographic regions and ages among its members.
The Steering Committee shall:
- Maintain momentum and smooth functioning of the standing committees subcommittees and specific workgroups through regular reports and oversight,
- Make all major decisions (e.g. initiation or termination of workgroups, projects, or new initiatives, relationships with other organizations, major budgetary decisions),
- Maintain good coordination between committees and workgroups,
- Hold regular sessions to maintain focus on the future and initiate changes necessary.
The overall responsibilities of the elected officers are:
|Overall functioning of the organization
|Functions as Operations Manager. Chair of Research/Infrastructure committee, responsible for functioning and development of infrastructure including each of the subcommittees (database, retro- /prospective research, tissue bank and biology, clinical trials)
|Manages the interface with the world outside ITMIG. Chair of the Education and of the Communication Committees, coordinates liaison with other organizations, organizes annual meeting, membership, oversight of subcommittees and specific workgroups
|Chair of Finance/Development Committee, oversight of finances, fundraising activities
|Participate in steering committee meetings, takes on assigned tasks as needed
Overview: Membership in ITMIG is open to all individuals who are interested in thymic malignancy or related mediastinal conditions, unless an unresolved conflict-of-interest exists.
Types of membership: The three categories of members are: regular, honorary, and affiliate.
Regular members are healthcare professional or researchers, and will have full voting rights and responsibilities such as annual dues. Any health professional (physician, nurse etc.) or scientist interested in thymic malignancy or related mediastinal conditions is eligible for regular membership. Members of industries that are related to thymic malignancies or related conditions are not eligible for membership because of potential conflict of interest. Furthermore, individuals are ineligible if they have demonstrated unethical behavior or have a conflict of interest related to ITMIG that cannot be resolved or managed (in the opinion of the majority of the steering committee).
Honorary membership may be granted by the Steering Committee to well-respected individuals who have contributed to the achievement of the mission of ITMIG, or who play a significant role in activities related to ITMIG in related organizations or fields. Honorary members are not required to pay dues but have all rights of regular members, including voting, and eligibility for election to office or appointment to a committee.
Affiliate membership is given to individuals who share a commitment to the mission of ITMIG and do not qualify for regular membership. This includes the lay public and those in training in a healthcare or research profession (e.g. students, residents). Affiliate members are welcome to participate in ITMIG meetings and events, and are not subject to annual dues. These individuals are not eligible for an elected position but may be appointed to a committee or workgroup. Affiliate members who serve on ITMIG committees have voting rights on those committees, but affiliate members do not have voting rights in the general assembly.
Procedure: Anyone interested in applying for membership must fill out a written or on-line application; eligible individuals without conflicts are approved automatically. Any potential questions about eligibility or conflicts of interest will be addressed by the membership committee.
Privileges: All members (any type) will receive periodic newsletters and updates of ITMIG events and activities. Regular and honorary members are eligible for elected office or for appointment to committees and workgroups, are eligible to compete for internal funding opportunities if these exist, and are eligible to participate in the ITMIG infrastructure.
Dues: Regular members must pay annual dues to help cover administrative costs of the organization. This does not apply to honorary or affiliate members. The dues level is recommended by the steering committee but subject to approval by the membership.
Termination: Any member may resign from membership at any time by delivering written notice of resignation to ITMIG, but is not be entitled to a refund of any dues paid. If a member has acted in a way that has undermined the mission of ITMIG, the membership may be rescinded upon a ≥2/3 vote of the entire steering committee. A failure to pay dues for 1 year (after 2 reminders) will automatically result in termination of membership.
Operating Procedures
General Process
General Membership Voting: Voting on issues by the general membership will typically occur via the internet or at the annual meeting, in which case provisions will be made to include votes cast by those attending as well as those participating in a virtual manner as much as possible. Decisions will be made by a majority of the cast votes, provided there is a quorum (defined as at least 10% of the voting membership).
Steering Committee Voting: Decisions by the steering committee require approval by a majority of the cast votes of the steering committee (except in unusual circumstances as defined in this document), provided there is a quorum (defined as at least 50% of the voting members).
Specific workgroups: Specific workgroups are created by the steering committee to address specific issues. This requires a description of the issue, specific goals to be accomplished, a time period during which the workgroup exists, and a reporting structure within ITMIG. Upon completion of the task or the allotted time the workgroup is dissolved, unless an extension is approved by the steering committee. Workgroups report to the steering committee (at least twice per year), unless the steering committee assigns this responsibility to one of the standing committees.
New Initiatives: Any ITMIG Member is welcome, and encouraged to bring forth ideas for new initiatives. A one page concept sheet should be written and discussed with the steering committee. Actual implementation of the initiative requires a detailed outline of the project, goals, plan for execution, budget and anticipated completion. This must then be approved by regular vote of the steering committee.
Voting on Special Circumstances: As defined in this document, a ≥ 2/3 majority of the cast votes is required for issues regarding unusual events (i.e. that require the principles in this document to be temporarily overridden) or checks and balances (some situations require involvement of all eligible voting members).
Changes in the Structure and Operating Procedures: A proposed change to the bylaws, structure and operating procedures of ITMIG may be brought forth by any member. This must be approved by a ≥ 2/3 majority of the entire steering committee, and then must be approved by a majority of the members (provided a quorum is present). This shall not apply to issues such as the creation of specific workgroups, events or new initiatives of defined duration. This shall apply to changes in the standing committees, subcommittees, membership structure, governing structure or process of conducting business within ITMIG. Any change must be in accordance with the laws governing not-for profit organizations that are applicable to ITMIG and must remain true to the mission of ITMIG.
Implementation of the Structure
The chair of the 4 major committees is as defined in this document by the tasks of the elected officers. The president may reassign the task of chairing a major committee to another steering committee member if the designated individual is unwilling or unable to fulfill this obligation; this requires approval by a ≥2/3 majority of the voting steering committee.
The chair of each major committee will appoint other members, subject to approval by the steering committee. Major committees shall consist of 3-9 members, the number being at the discretion of the chair. The term of appointment is for 2 years, with multiple reappointments permitted. Ideally there should be continuity, with at least 1/3 of the committee members continuing for an additional term.
The subcommittees are led by a chair, appointed by the Chair of the major committee to which it reports, subject to the approval of the steering committee. Each subcommittee chair will be responsible for the appointment of other members (2 year terms, multiple reappointments permitted), subject to approval by the chair of the major committee to which the subcommittee reports.
The chair of a specific workgroup is appointed by the president, subject to approval by the steering committee or designee. The chair of each workgroup will appoint other members, subject to approval by the steering (or other designated) committee.
Terms of Office
The officers and councilors shall be elected by the membership to a 2-year term, and may be re- elected once. After a hiatus of 2 years, they may be elected again to the same or another elected position, starting a new cycle. The President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer are elected 1 year prior to assuming office in order to provide overlap and maintain continuity.
In order to encourage distribution of the task of president among multiple individuals, it is expected that an individual will serve as president for only 1 or 2 terms. Further terms are discouraged, although permissible after a hiatus and only if there are strong reasons for the nominating committee to consider this.
The term of appointment in a major committee or subcommittee is for 2 years, with multiple reappointments permitted. Ideally there should be continuity, with at least 1/3 of the committee members continuing for an additional term.
The term for all specific workgroups is for the duration of the workgroup.
Nominating committee members will serve a term of 4 years, with multiple reappointments permitted. The terms will be staggered to provide overlap.
Unusual Occurrences
If an elected position is vacated prematurely, the steering committee shall decide whether to leave the position vacant, appoint another individual to this position for the rest of the term or to hold an ad hoc election.
An individual may serve simultaneously in two elected capacities under unusual circumstances (i.e. a position has been vacated prematurely) if so decided by a ≥2/3 majority of the voting steering committee.
The Vice president will assume the responsibilities of the president if this position is vacated.
Checks and Balances
Nominations: Nominating committee decisions will stand regardless of steering committee opinion, with the exception of a unanimous decision by the full steering committee.
Nominating Committee: No confidence of the ITMIG membership in a nominating committee member: A petition signed by 20% of the ITMIG membership mandates that an ad hoc vote is conducted by the steering committee within 3 months regarding continuation of a nominating committee member. A vote of no confidence of ≥2/3 of the cast votes mandates the individual is relieved of this post. The president will appoint a new nominating committee member, but this individual must be approved by a majority of cast votes of the membership in an ad hoc ballot within 3 months.
Steering Committee: No confidence of the ITMIG membership in a steering committee member: A petition signed by 20% of the ITMIG membership mandates that an ad hoc vote is conducted by the nominating committee within 3 months regarding continuation of a steering committee member. A vote of no confidence of ≥2/3 of the cast votes mandates the individual is relieved of this post. The nominating committee will then initiate the normal process to recommend new individuals for the vacated position, which will be elected by a majority of cast votes of the membership within 6 months.

5. Nominating Committee
Charge: To provide rational guidance if necessary in assembling a list of candidates for election by the membership. For example, it is impractical to decide by membership vote if multiple individuals (≥3) are nominated for the same position. Furthermore, the nominating committee should oversee the composition of the steering committee, maintaining balance (as outlined below). This may necessitate at times that the nominating committee limits candidates to a particular specialty or geographic location. Thus the nominating committee should gently manage the process of preparing a list of candidates, but the nominations and the actual election is determined by the membership.
The nominating committee is also responsible for evaluation of potential conflict of interest issues of both candidates for elected positions or individuals serving in an official capacity in the organization (i.e. on a committee etc.).
- The nominating committee will actively seek nominations (including self nominations) for a position on the steering committee or other standing committees. The committee should then select 1-2 candidates for each position to be put before the membership for vote.
- A candidate must receive a majority of the cast votes of the membership to be elected.
- If only 1 candidate is presented for vote, and a majority of cast votes are not in favor, the nominating committee must hold a re-election within 3 months with 2 candidates on the ballot.
Specific tasks:
- Balanced steering committee composition: The nominating committee will, as best as possible, ensure balance in the steering committee, ideally maintaining:
- A mixture of specialties (e.g. Thoracic Surgery, Medical Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Pathology, Basic Science, Radiology, Neurology etc,)
- at least 1 each from: Asia/Australia, Europe, North America
- 3 senior individuals, 3 junior individuals
A senior individual is defined as age ≥50 or Professor rank at the time of election to office.
- Conflict of Interest: The nominating committee must solicit a conflict of interest statement at initiation and annually from all individuals serving in an official capacity (i.e. on a committee or workgroup). Potential conflicts must be resolved (e.g. a change in the individual's activities or relationships) or managed (e.g. limiting ITMIG activities to areas in which no conflict exists), or the individual must be relieved of the ITMIG post.
General rules and guidelines:
- Eligible individuals for an elected office should have a demonstrated interest in thymic malignancies or other mediastinal conditions (e.g. publications, major clinical trial involvement or research projects).
- It is permissible for an individual to serve simultaneously as a councilor and as an incoming "elect" named officer. Otherwise one individual should not serve simultaneously in two elected capacities (exception under unusual circumstances if so decided by a ≥2/3 majority of the voting steering committee). An individual may hold and elected position and simultaneously one or more appointed positions.
- In order to encourage distribution of the task of president among multiple individuals, it is expected that an individual will serve as president for only 1 or 2 terms. Further terms are discouraged, although permissible after a hiatus and only if there are strong reasons for the nominating committee to consider this.
Nominating committee composition: The nominating committee consists of 3 members and the past president. It is expected that these are generally more senior individuals, and not current members of the steering committee. The past president shall serve as a member and the chair until the next past president assumes this role. In the event the president is elected to a 2nd term the previous past president will continue as chair of the nominating committee. Other members of the nominating committee are appointed by the incumbent president, but subject to approval by the steering committee. Nominating committee members will serve a term of 4 years, with multiple reappointments permitted.
ITMIG adheres to a conflict of interest policy as set forth in its Corporate bylaws and as required for 501(c)(3) status. The purpose of this conflict of interest policy is to protect ITMIG's status as a tax-exempt organization when it is contemplating entering into a transaction or arrangement that might benefit the private interest of an Officer or director or might result in a possible excess benefit transaction. The policy is extended to members of all committees and workgroups in the awarding of any grants, stipends, or other benefits, or in determining policy.
In addition, ITMIG will adhere to conflict of interest rules that are commonly practiced in the medical and scientific community, as long as they only supplement but not replace or conflict with those set forth in the Bylaws or any applicable state and federal laws governing conflict of interest applicable to nonprofit and charitable organizations.

This post is about getting better at something. Maybe you suck at it and want to get better, maybe you hate it, but it's something you should do anyway, or maybe you're just struggling to make progress.
For a great many things once a week isn't enough. Trying to learn a skill, once a week practice won't get you very far very fast. Trying to make a change (in your body or life) working on it once a week and ignoring it the other 6 days isn't going to do much in the way of change. You're basically wasting your time.
To make progress you (often) need at least twice a week, three times a week is possibly even better, four or more could be too often depending on what you are doing. Two examples of this that I have found is my shoulder mobility, and my wrist prep.
I had been working the wrist prep series from the gymnastic bodies' handstand course once a week for a long time. There are four different exercises with multiple progressions. For three of the exercises I was able to make good progress, but one of them I was getting nowhere. Every week was the same with very little observable progress. So I stepped it up to twice a week. Progress has still been slow, but it is there. I get observably better week to week. The element in question was more about gaining greater flexibly in my palm and fingers, stretching what must be quite tough muscle and connective tissue in the hand. Once a week was not enough to activate, and maintain a positive change in these tissues, but twice a week seems to be working. Three times a week might be better, and maybe I will try, but for now slow progress is still progress.
|An example of slow but viable progress
I've written about my struggle gaining shoulder mobility before and some things that have helped in my post on the mobility stick. Another major help for increasing my shoulder mobility has been working in 2-3 times per week with multiple modalities. Previously I had been working shoulder mobility only once a week, with dislocates and another behind the back movement. I was getting better slowly, but not effectively. By adding in the shoulder and thoracic stretch routine weekly, and adding an additional day with the mobility stick I've been able to make slightly faster and more effective progress. I'm still far from perfect but I'm able to gain more mobility, and use the new range of motion more frequently during the week.
In both cases it was not just consistently training these elements, but more frequency and more volume by adding a second training session. Often move volume is needed for better results, but be careful, stay withing recoverable limits or you'll do more harm than good.
If you want to make true change, once a week is not enough. If you care about something, focus on it, spend time on it. Start with one element you want to get better at, but are only working on once a week, and add a second day. Then re-evaluate, maybe add another day, or maybe pick another element which could use a twice a week scheduling. This way you are more likely to make these changes routine, trying to add too much all at once will burn you out physically and mentally and won't create the change you're after.

My husband is an EMT, so occasionally he'll work super early hours. He had to get up at 4:45 a.m. today, so I used that as an opportunity to get out of bed and work on my manuscript.
As it turns out, this time I woke up before my creativity did. I spent a good chunk of the time staring at the screen, trying to stay awake. While I am already seeing the value of setting aside 2 hours a day for my story, I am also seeing the value of sleep.
I'll get used to this. And I will remember the coffee and wake-up work out for tomorrow.

God's Plan: Immigration & Crime, Part 1
Companion blog to "Refuge"
In light of the current conversation going on about children being separated from their parents at the border, our pastor has taken the time to faithfully dig into the word of God and suss out the truth about the "sojourner", crime and the separation of people involved. So let's start here…
The Jews have always had great pride in their cities. In Joshua 13-19 we see four whole chapters dedicated to the detail of how God wanted the lands to be divided up. The Tribe of Levi was the only tribe not given individual lands. They were given forty-eight cities[1] within Canaan and pasture lands for their animals. Six of those forty-eight cities were to be considered "cities of refuge (safety)"[2] for those who accidentally killed someone. These same considerations were also given to the sojourner (stranger) who was in Canaan.
Wrong-Doing, Consequences & Restoration
Moses in the wilderness, making national policy as to how these lands were to be divided up, was living several generations after the murderous actions[3] of Levi that caused him to lose all of his inheritance. Still, we see God's grace invade and choose the Tribe of Levi to be His special population of priests. This is a huge example of where sin abounds, grace abounds that much more.[4] We see this concept of God cleansing believers from sin[5] and the restoration of loss[6] carried throughout the Bible.
God said that we will be marked by the behaviors of our fathers (ancestors) for generations.[7] God is not saying that we will be punished for the sins of our fathers.[8] He is saying that the effect of a disobedient generation can filter down into the next generation's actions and is very difficult to change without God's intercession and restoration.
Justice, Mercy & Intent
When we look at the six cities of refuge and God's purpose for these cities, we see that God didn't want us to look just at the actions of the man-slayer, He wanted us to focus in on their intent.
- The man-slayer, distinct from the murderer, didn't intend to kill.[9]
When God, through Moses, established this new nation of Israel with its lands and laws, He also set judges over the people who were tasked with doling out justice or satisfaction for laws broken. These judges also had to look deeper into the facts to ascertain intent when criminal acts were committed. This is where they then could apply 'mercy' to the sentence. Oftentimes we confuse justice with mercy.
'Justice' is a rightly given penalty that members of a particular society are all aware of when an intentional criminal act is committed. It is something expected and rightly demanded in that society. It is a dependable constant that helps to subdue the rise of evil and the continuation of lawlessness. If our child is murdered, then we CAN expect or demand justice to prevail and the known sentence for murder adhered to.
'Mercy' is a gift of taking away or altering a known penalty of law by those tasked to dispense it based on a determination of the criminal's intent. We don't expect mercy to be applied to crimes, but it can be asked for in the form of leniency after a verdict is rendered. It is never a given. Can you imagine someone who has intentionally broken the law expecting or demanding the gift-of-mercy? That's ridiculous! That would show just how arrogant the criminal's heart really was towards the people around them and their justly expected need for safety and stability.
Today, it's not seen as politically correct for any of us, even judges, to stand up and declare 'intent', but that is exactly what they are civilly and divinely ordained to do. God has entrusted these fallible human men and women to exercise judgments over us, including the ability and right to determine intent.[10] The judge is a servant for God that He calls "an avenger" and God tells us "to be afraid" when we defy authorities because the avenger will carry out God's wrath on the wrongdoer.[11]
God even talks about constraining "the avenger"(judge)[12] by an appointed congregation (jury, appellate courts, etc) when there are more facts, like 'intent' to consider. We see a system of checks and balances. These Biblical principles are now and always have been God's plan for us as it regards rightful governmental authorities.
Sometimes wrongful judgments will be executed by rightful authorities but either way, the decision made was still God's ministry as it regards that matter. God can use whomever He pleases, even evil people, to attain His ends. Remember how Joseph told his brothers, "…you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good…".[13] We have to remember that what might sometimes be injustice is still God bringing about good for us.[14]
Thankfully, in our country we are allowed by our governmental system to appeal what we feel is a wrongful judgement. Therefore, not accepting a judge's decision is not defying authority, it is working with the authorities to dig deeper and try harder to come up with more complete and satisfying answers to problems that are more challenging.
Separation is the price. Restoration is the goal.
In the case of the man-slayer that is mercifully rescued (by God's orders) from the avenger, he/she was separated from their former life (family) and sequestered in a city of refuge so that they would not be killed. Death is and always has been the just punishment for killing a human because he/she is made in the image of God.[15] The man-slayer must remain separated until the appointed time and then be restored to his people. That was the goal.
Next week we will look more at how the Bible talks about rightful authorities separating the criminal from their families and how that applies to the current conversation of illegal immigrants being separated from their children.

Men's Health Exhibition & Conference 2016 provided a platform for healthcare professionals and decision makers from around the MENA region to meet, connect, exchange knowledge and conduct business in 2 days.
The CME-accredited conferences presented an agenda totally focused on men's health and various issues facing men within the region. The conferences also featured new treatments, medicines and technology that are paving the way for more men to be cured and lead a full life.
We would like to thank all our 2016 sponsors, supporters, exhibitors, event and media partners. GCC's healthcare market is expected to reach $71 billion by 2020, a 76 per cent increase from $40.3 billion in 2015. A contributing factor is the continuous demand on improving men's health and a higher demand for availability of new products and medical treatment for men related illnesses in the region.
We hope to see you on next year's edition of Men's Health Exhibition & Conference on 16-17 October, 2017 at the Emirates Ballroom, JW Marriott Marquis Hotel, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

SIC LIFE CO. LTD; Ghana's leading Life Insurance company has joined the rest of the world to celebrate the 2019 Customer Service Week. The Customer Service Week celebrated globally in the first full week in October is to highlight the importance of customer service and of the people who serve and support customers on a daily basis.
Taking inspiration from the Global theme 'The Magic of Service,' SIC Life has dedicated Monday October 7, 2019 to Friday October 11, 2019 to appreciate its policy holders and prospective walk-in clients. The 2019 Customer Service Week's theme 'The Magic of Service' recognizes that good service is magical. It can turn an unhappy customer into a satisfied long term customer. It can turn an occasional customer into a repeat customer. And it can turn any customer into your biggest fan and advocate
The Head of Policy Administration at SIC Life Mrs. Nancy Adusei explains 'the main essence is to celebrate customers; take feedback from you whenever you walk into any of our offices.'
She further encouraged all clients to visit any of the SIC LIFE branch offices to have a feel of a 'Diamond Rated Experience.' During this period, walk-in clients get to walk away with gifts ranging from branded souvenirs, beverages, confectionaries amongst other items coupled with other premium services.
Staffs of SIC Life who also double as internal clients will mark the week by dressing in different themed costumes and climax on Friday by adorning the colourful SIC Life Friday cloth. Photos of these moments will be updated on the company's Facebook and Twitter platforms @SIC LIFE.
'We would want to wish you well and we say come and celebrate with us,' Mrs Adusei concluded.
SIC Life recently scooped two awards at the just ended 2018 CIMG Awards; Marketing Woman of the Year and 2 times entry into the Hall of Fame.

Explains what customer notifications are, how to enable them, how to delay them, how to view notification statuses, and resend notification emails in ShipStation.
ShipStation can send two types of customer notification emails to your customers:
Shipment Notifications let your customers know their order has shipped, and Delivery Notifications let them know their shipment has been delivered. Delivery notifications are only available for services that include automatic tracking updates from the carrier.
Email Address Required
A valid email address must be present on the order for ShipStation to send shipment and delivery notifications successfully.
You may want to use ShipStation's shipment and delivery notification emails instead of your selling channel's notifications for several reasons.
For instance, you can:
Control when the shipment notifications are sent using each store's notification settings.
Create custom shipment and delivery email templates using either ShipStation's WYSIWYG or HTML template editor.
Create as many custom templates as you need to take advantage of different branding for each store or send emails that include coupon codes or other special offers.
Assign custom email templates at the store level or at the individual order level.
Assign custom email templates to orders based on unique order criteria using ShipStation's powerful Automation Rules.
Use ShipStation's Branded Tracking Page to keep your customer engaged with your brand even after shipping the order.
Shipment and delivery notifications are turned off by default in ShipStation since you may already be using your selling channel's shipment notification feature. Should you choose to use the ShipStation customer notifications feature, ShipStation will include a flag in the marketplace notification that a shipment confirmation email was sent to the customer. This will allow the selling channel to skip sending an additional confirmation.
Some Selling Channels Do Not Allow 3rd Party Communications
Amazon, Walmart, and Rakuten do not allow third-party apps like ShipStation to send email notifications directly to customers. For these selling channels, the email notification options will not be present in the store's Notifications settings.
Shipment and delivery notification emails must be enabled at the store level in ShipStation. This means the notification settings become the default behavior for all orders that import from that store.
To enable customer notification emails:
Go to the Notifications tab.
Click the Shipment Confirmation Email drop-down menu.
Select the desired email template from the list (if you have not created any custom templates, select the Default Shipment Template).
Any custom email templates you've created will appear in this list. The selected template will become the default email notification template for all orders imported from this selling channel.
Repeat for Delivery Notification emails if you wish to enable those as well.
Click Save Changes.
Repeat the above steps for any store you wish to enable ShipStation's customer notifications. Going forward, ShipStation will email shipment notifications to customers for all orders imported on each store with enabled customer notifications.
If Delivery Notifications are enabled, ShipStation will send the delivery notification as soon as the carrier notifies ShipStation the package has been delivered. Depending on the carrier, this may happen immediately upon drop off, or could occur several hours after the shipment has been delivered.
To disable customer notification emails, simply set each drop-down menu to (don't send email) and save your changes.
Notes About Customer Notifications
A valid email address must be present on the order in ShipStation for the notifications to send successfully.
By default, notifications are sent from the email address email@example.com unless you enter and verify a company email address in the Email field of your stores' Branding tab. Review our What is Branding? article for details.
If you find your notification emails are routed to your customers' spam folder, consider adjusting the subject and body text of your notification emails to avoid spam words and phrases. Adding a company email to your stores' Branding tab will also help avoid emails getting filtered into your customers' spam folders.
If you'd like to receive a copy of the actual email your customers receive, enter an email address into the Blind Copy on Shipment and Delivery Email field in your store's Notifications tab. This will tell ShipStation to add that email address as a BCC on every Shipment and Delivery notification it sends to your customers.
When you enable customer notifications, ShipStation sends the customer notification at the same time it sends the marketplace notification. By default, this occurs when you create the label for a shipment. However, you can delay the shipment notifications in each store's Notifications settings.
To delay notifications:
Go to the Notifications tab.
The default behavior for Send marketplace Notification when... is set to when Shipping label is created. To delay the notification you must select one of the conditional options.
Select The first of these conditions in met...
Choose which condition must be met before ShipStation will send the notification.
The shipment first hits the mail stream
ShipStation will send the notification when the carrier first notifies us it has received and scanned the shipment.
For carriers that electronically submit shipments, this can cause notifications to be sent before the shipment is in possession of the carrier.
This option can only be used for trackable services with carriers that automatically send tracking data back to ShipStation.
When this option is selected, ShipStation also provides the ability to set notification options for any un-tracked services.
At a specific time on the ship date
ShipStation will send the notifications at the specified time. This option uses the account time zone to determine when to send notifications.
Number of hour(s) elapsed after label creation...
ShipStation will send the notifications after the specified number of hours have passed from the time of label creation.
You can choose multiple options and ShipStation will send the notification when the first condition is met.
Click Save Changes.
These settings will apply to all shipments going forward. Repeat these steps for any store you'd like to use delayed notifications.
Notes About Delayed Notifications
ShipStation cannot delay the notifications for orders that are Marked as Shipped or shipments that are fulfilled through a fulfillment provider.
Marketplace and customer notifications will occur at the same time (if you have customer notifications enabled).
Not all carrier and service combinations support auto-tracking. These carrier/service combinations cannot use delayed notifications since ShipStation does not receive any data from the carrier to trigger them.
If changing from delayed notifications to notify on label creation, ShipStation will not send notifications for shipments already created. Be sure to look up any outstanding shipments and use ShipStation's Resend Notifications option.
Settings to delay marketplace and shipment notifications do not apply to delivery notifications. Delivery notifications are triggered only when the carrier alerts ShipStation the package has been delivered.
ShipStation lets you know if your customer notifications were sent and received successfully using Smart Document Tracking.
Check the Shipment Notification and Delivery Notification columns in the Shipments tab, or the Smart Document Tracking in the Shipment Details screens.
Shipment & Delivery Notification Columns in Shipping Tab
If you do not see the Shipment or Delivery Notification columns, click the Columns button to enable those columns.
Check the Shipment Notification and Delivery Notification options. Scroll right to view, then click and drag to move the columns to the desire position in your grid.
Successful notifications will appear in dark grey and say Notified. Failed notifications will appear in red and say Failed. Hover your mouse over the failed icon to view a pop-up with details on why the notification failed.
ShipStation's Legacy Layout
If you're using ShipStation's Legacy Layout, the column you need to activate will be titled Notifications.
Successful customer notifications will have a green envelope icon . Failed customer notifications will have a red envelope icon . Hover your mouse over the failed icon to view a pop-up with details on why the notification failed.
Smart Document Tracking
The Notifications option indicates both marketplace and customer notifications. Sent notifications will appear in dark grey and say Sent. If either notification failed, this icon will also include a red dot. Hover your mouse over the icon to view a pop-up with details on which notification failed and why.
Resend Failed Notifications
You can resend failed notifications once the cause of the issue has been addressed.

Oil on canvas, 120 x 80 cm (2004)
The circling one is caught in thoughts going round and round in a vicious circle. On and on they go in the same direction.
These thoughts could be about the problems you have, but they also can be something more positive; like plans that are lifting you up. Plans that luring you out of the fixed rounds you make in daily life.
Another meaning of this image could be the discovery of a solution. The sudden outlook on a certain direction you should choose. Just by shifting your view up from the labyrinth you are in.
The original painting is sold, but there are still some giclée's available

Full disclosure and fee-only compensation
We ardently believe that customers deserve to know exactly how their financial professional is compensated. We are committed to fee-only financial planning to ensure all conflicts of interest regarding compensation are removed from any financial advice.
The highest level of service and communication
Our clients entrust us with a very important aspect of their lives – their financial futures. We would be remiss in our duties if we did not provide our clients with adequate communication regarding their finances. Plus, the differentiator between small, family owned firms and the large brokerages is service. Our clients aren't just numbers to us.
Two-way communication with our clients
To fully meet our clients' goals, we need current, complete information. We need our clients to inform us any time they plan to make a major financial decision (buying a car, selling a house, etc.) or if their goals change for any reason (health situation, unemployment, etc.).
Financial advisor as fiduciary, not salesperson
A conflict of interest exists whenever a financial advisor stands to gain from recommending a specific product. The only way to avoid this conflict of interest is to act as a fiduciary and provide advice that serves the best interests of the client. This is why we don't receive any compensation or other remuneration that is contingent on the sale of a financial product.

A few things I have learnt:
- At the start of the year I wanted to 'flip' the classroom. As I hunted through the internet for ways to do this in the English classroom, I quickly found that the examples given were not necessarily going to work in my subject area - I couldn't upload a ppt and then go through an experiment the next day. I soon understood that the idea of 'flipping' the classroom is about handing the learning and power over to the students. This was something I could do and did do. I have to say it felt a little strange and despite putting in a lot of work at the start I suddenly felt a little redundant as I observed my students learning, exploring, creating and solving - it was AWESOME. I now think that we should not be labeling the models we use in the classroom - I no longer refer to it as 'flipping' the classroom, it is just teaching and learning taking place within a community of learners that extends beyond our 4 walls.
- That it is always worth taking the risk and asking students to complete a survey on your teaching at the end of the unit or year. Like all teachers I would my students to achieve their potential but also enjoy the class. Giving them a survey I always find is a bit like putting your heart on a platter and hoping no-one picks at it or worse. My Year 10s wrote great stuff, yes there were a couple of negatives ( in case you are wondering the negatives were about getting work marked and back the next day!) but it is what you do with feedback that is important. My two favorite comments were "We were doing stuff no-one in the other classes were doing and it was cool, like conspiracy theories and augmented reality." and " You made us think." So take the risk and get feedback from your students
- Professional Development should not be a one time event but a continual process and it can be and should be inspiring, fun and of value. That the professional development should be inline with your own teacher goals and classroom practice.
This is just a few things I have learnt.

I need to be transparent: tonight I felt really disheartened.
After growing up eating sugar, dairy, pastries and breads full of gluten, sometimes the fact that I can't anymore makes me want to curl up in the fetal position and just… cry.
Food, in my opinion, is one of the most wonderful and artistic subjects in the whole world; in fact, I was planning to attend pastry school before my body could no longer handle everything that makes a pastry, well… a pastry. Going on nearly eight months of completely eliminating all gluten, dairy, sugar, soy, etc., this new adventure can sometimes be disheartening. Especially since I'm not likely to ever have them again.
Whipping up a cake isn't the same without white all-purpose flour; frosting isn't the same without butter and powdered sugar; cookies aren't the same without a glass of whole milk. The hardest part… trying to not feel like half the cook, half the baker, I was before.
But the truth is: I am no less capable in the kitchen now than I was then. I simply have to use different ingredients and different methods. If anything, I should be proud of myself for taking initiative, for going against the grain and fighting a battle that for me, really hits home. Okay, so maybe dessert doesn't taste like it used to. Different doesn't make it bad. It simply makes it- different.
If you're having to make similar changes in your life, be encouraged. Try to focus on what you CAN have over what you can't. There are bigger things out there than not eating a piece of cake or having a glass of milk with your cookie. While I may have my days of sadness (and it's okay to have those times), I always try to remember how blessed I am. I've been given the ability to live a better life through a healthier body. Would I rather have five minutes of delicious contraband or a life free of pain and full of energy?
When I look at it that way, the answer is very simple: live life to the fullest and give my body what it needs so I can do just that.
Goodnight, all…

The oblique decline crunch is one of the most effective exercises to help strengthen your abdominal and oblique muscles. This exercise focuses directly on the sides of your midsection which are also called the love handles. This pair of muscles in technical terms is known as the obliques. This is different from other crunch exercises. In the normal crunch you target the middle and upper abdominal muscles. In this exercise you twist the torso to either the left or the right side so that the oblique muscles are targeted. A decline bench is required to perform the movement.
Exercise Instructions: Using a decline bench, position yourself with your feet locked in at the top. Place both hands on your head. Slowly raise your upper body while twisting your torso to the right. Focus on keeping your abs tight and keeping the movement slow and controlled. Continue this movement until your right elbow touches your left knee. Slowly lower your body back down to the starting position. After completing one set, switch to your other side. The key to maximizing this exercise is to really flex your midsection for a one-count at the top of the movement.
Muscles Targeted: The abdominal area is made up of the rectus abdominis, transverse abdominis, and a pair of oblique muscles. The oblique muscles consist of two types, the internal and the external. The upper and middle abs are targeted very well along with the hip flexors which work as a secondary muscle group.
Why This Exercise is Important: Performing an exercise which focuses on strengthening abdominal muscles always helps in improving the core strength of the body. Performing oblique decline crunches not only trains your abdominal muscles to get stronger but it enables you to get rid of excess fat from around your abdominals when combined with proper nutrition and cardio exercise. Reducing fat from around the midsection will improve your physique and appearance.
Things To Avoid: There are various things that should be kept in mind when performing this exercise. Such things include keeping your neck in proper alignment and breathing out when lifting your upper body upwards. It is recommended to warm up before performing this exercise. Here are other things to be aware of:
- The pace of performing this exercise must be slow and steady.
- Do not relax your abs during the exercise, always keep them tight.
- Do not over do it with too many sets and reps.
- Always watch your form and technique.
Reps and Sets: The number of sets and reps you perform depends upon your body type, level of fitness and level of endurance. For beginners it is recommended to start with lower reps and focus on using correct technique. After some time, you can increase the amount of sets and reps and duration of this exercise. 3 sets of 10-12 reps on each side should be perfect for the beginner. For better results, increase the amount of reps to about 20 per side with 4-5 total sets.
Other Exercises To Use: There are various other exercises which targets the oblique muscles. You can also perform this exercise using weights like a dumbbell, weighted plate or a medicine ball for more resistance. You can also perform oblique crunches without using an inclined bench by just laying down on the floor. Other exercises which will help you strengthen your oblique muscles include hanging oblique knee raises, dumbbell oblique side bends and lying side oblique crunches. View our extensive database of exercise guides for a comprehensive list of exercises that target the abs.

The reverberation of dinner chimes echoed through the stairwell of the Plaza as a tardy Shindigger rushed up the steps to the 28th Annual Guild Hall Academy of the Arts Lifetime Achievement Awards on Monday evening. And there we found what we like to call a "celebrity boil," as a multitude of cameramen and reporters besieged a trio of thespian besties: Sarah Jessica Parker, hubby Matthew Broderick and the evening's performing arts honoree, Nathan Lane.
While the petite and camera-ready SJP graciously posed and purred in her vintage Oscar de la Renta dress, her husband looked on sheepishly and Mr. Lane seemed somewhat overwhelmed.
"It's been a lot of hard work," Mr. Lane told Shindigger about starring in the upcoming production of Douglas Carter Beane's new play, The Nance, which begins previews on March 21. "We're now going in our fourth week of the rehearsal."
Would the legendary comedic actor be taking refuge from the Broadway stage this summer in the Hamptons, we wondered?
"I'm not going to be getting out there a lot," he replied. Right now, he was simply enjoying the moment. "I actually didn't even know [Guild Hall] gave awards. I didn't know I was up for one!"
Lifetime achievement awards sound stuffy. And yet this affair was anything but. Snatching a glass of cabernet sauvignon, Shindigger assessed the environment of high-society doyennes and dapper men. The energy was regal, but loose. The profound waft of money in the room was overpowering, but inclusive. These were the mighty East Enders—patrons of the arts—and they were beyond marvelous.
Better yet: they knew it!
As the first course was served, the evening's master of ceremonies, Academy Award-winning screenwriter Marshall Brickman, welcomed Lorne Michaels and Dan Aykroyd to the stage in order to present the lifetime achievement award for visual arts to John Alexander.
"Don't let that East Texas accent fool ya," joked Mr. Aykroyd, handing over the prize to the American landscape artist. "John is one of the most intelligent and sensitive, semi-articulate Texans on the planet."
The razzing continued as writer/critic Ken Auletta presented the honor for literary arts to biographer Walter Isaacson.
"He's also a little weird," Mr. Auletta began. "He only urinates once a week … He owns 15 identical suits and one tie." (Setting the record straight, Mr. Isaacson told the crowd that "only about a third of that was true.")
During a pause for dinner, Shindigger decided to wander the ballroom. We interrupted Carl Spielvogel, who was lecturing Cristina Greeven Cuomo about the greatness of America and the importance of international diplomacy.
"I have been going to the Hamptons since I was the premeditated thought of my parents," giggled Ms. Cuomo, the editor in chief of Manhattan magazine, patting her tiered-lace Chanel dress. "Southampton is my hamlet! I love it out there."
Of everyone present, Ms. Cuomo confessed that tonight she was most excited to be in the company of Mr. Michaels. "I'm a huge closet comedy fan. I love everything he does. 30 Rock—I can't believe it's over! Devastating," She said, adding that her soon-to-launch glossy rag, Beach, is "going to have a great sense of humor."
Before Shindigger could table dance anymore, Mr. Brickman was back at the podium. "I'm Nathan Lane. Don't fuck with me! I'm a professional," he teased, before recalling several entertaining experiences with Mr. Lane from their time spent working on the commercially successful disaster that was The Addams Family. He then handed the stage over to Tony-award winning director Jack O'Brien, who delivered a less profanity-laden introduction and presented Mr. Lane with his plaque.
(Meanwhile, Shindigger noticed an exceedingly late arrival, as the endearingly lissome Blythe Danner slipped her way to a head table.)
Rounding out the awards, Alec Baldwin presented a special award for leadership and philanthropic endeavors to former investment banker, American Ballet Theatre trustee and Guild Hall chairman Melville "Mickey" Straus, whom power publicist Peggy Siegal described as "the bravest person in the room."
"He's the most loved," she said.
Shindigger passed on dessert but eagerly refilled our wine, as our tablemate, gala co-chair and c/o Hotels owner Jenny Ljungberg, explained one of the organization's goals moving forward.
"[We want] to get a younger crowd to come to Guild Hall," she said. "It has sort of a stuffy connotation and a stuffy feel, even though their offerings are anything but stuffy."
To help further Ms. Ljungberg's cause, Shindigger approached Ms. Parker and demanded to know if she had introduced her little ones to Guild Hall.
"We try to see and do as much as they offer, as much as life with children allows," she said.
As the night was coming to a close, Shindigger swung by the bar for a final refill. Ms. Danner had the same idea, and so we asked why she had been so late.
"I was doing an Actors Fund benefit," she explained with a smile. "I was the stage manager of the first act of Our Town, and then B.D. Wong is the second, and S. Epatha Merkerson is it in. She's wonderful! We were laughing and laughing and having a good time, but I was able to slip away."
We then babbled on about her summer plans and her return to Broadway. "I took over for Estelle Parsons," she told us. "I'm going to be Matthew Broderick's mother. It's a whole new cast!"
Which sounded like nice work, if you can get it.

ETC Commercial
- Non Pressurised
- Pressurised
Normally non pressurised systems are working up to 0.8 Kg / Cm2 , The storage tank is placed at a certain height relative to the top of the collector to prevent the reverse circulation during off-sun shine hours. In this system, hot water storage tank can be under normal pressure of cold water overhead tank so gravitational force of overhead cold water tank comes to bottom of hot water tank at normal pressure ( non pressurized), hot water comes out from top of hot water solar tank and release at the end of tap as a regular.
Normally non pressurised systems are working upto 0.8 Kg./cm2. Now a days modern bathrooms are equipped with shower panels which require higher pressure for taking bath. In these cases the systems change to pressurised systems which can work upto 4 to 5 Kg./cm2 genereated by pressure pump. Such types of systems are also useful for commercial and industrial use where number of used points are more.

I've been having an issue that the icon for theater mode (the one where the screen only turns on when you tap it) doesnt respond anymore. (it did in the beginning, but after some time it stopped responding?) I thought this might've been fixed with the upcoming Oreo update, but now that i've been updated, it still doesnt respond...
Should i do a factory reset and see where that takes me? (i would regret doing so, since i've got the rest just the way i want it... )
Theater mode not working?

Re: Theater mode not working?
I don't see any other possibility than doing a factory reset. It's always the best choice to get rid of inherited problems.
Btw the feature is working on Oreo.

Thankyou Jamie for featuring three of my poems.
Jamie Dedes' THE POET BY DAY Webzine
The last Wednesday Writing Prompt July 12, 2017– The cold war: there was so much revealed by the singularity of that time. What crazy quirks do you remember or have you heard about from those you know who lived through it?
Here are responses from poets: Renee Espriu, Sonja Benskin Mesher, Paul Brookes and poet and writer, Dan Roberson. Bravo! 🙂
A Siren Wailing for No Reason
The sun had risen high in the blue sky
over rolling hills of farm country
causing a dry heat much as the roiling
heat of the home of her childhood
produced in waves upon asphalt streets
she knew the howl of a siren near by in
the close distance as she sat visiting
with her son her terrier mix at her feet
and he saw her puzzled look asking why
to glean the meaning of that sound now
for she recalled a time years…

I started the habit of writing my observations of politics soon after I was first preselected for the seat of Flinders on the Victorian Morning Peninsula in 1982.
By the time I had left politics in 2001 I had over 120 books full of my thoughts, cartoons, policy discussions and anything that took my fancy.
Looking back now, whilst there has been a lot of change, there is plenty of evidence that a lot of things have not changed. There have been only two first-class Prime Ministers: Hawke and Howard. The rest have been average or worse.
The majority of politicians are good people and genuinely want to do good things for our country. But like everyone else they are not perfect. The truth is that there are lots of mistakes in politics. But the mistakes or poor decisions are not all they seem.
In a democracy, decisions have to provide for different opinions. Sometimes that is not practical but in other cases there has to be a little bit of give and take. Needless to say there are also the occasional first-class decisions and these are the ones that often determine the fate of governments.
The pace of modern politics has gone up a notch or two, especially since the advent of the internet, mobile phones, faxes and 24/7 television news channels. The result is that the public are better informed and quicker than ever to express their own opinion on the issue of the day.
A good example was Tony Abbott's announcement that he would introduce knights and dames. That story went round like a raging bush fire. Whilst the fire was eventually controlled, six months later some cinders were probably still burning and gave some MPs some small part of their reasoning to vote Abbott out of office.
One of the big debates in Australia today is why our political system has failed to deliver the better economic performance it expects. The doubters are convinced that the political system is broken. However, they don't propose any significant reform. In that sense, they could just as easily accept the view of Winston Churchill that democracy is the worst system ever but no one has thought of a better one.
There are some good reasons for wondering if recent changes to the process of decision making has become too difficult to be able to confront the economic necessity of economic reform.
The backdrop to the debate is the success of the Labor government under Bob Hawke and then the John Howard government from 1996 to 2007. What many forget is that the Hawke years were a response to the dramatic failures of the previous Labor government under Gough Whitlam.
Whitlam went on a spending spree and only started to rein in the excesses in the Whitlam government's last budget. The consequence of fiscal failures of the three years of Whitlam gave Hawke the determination to avoid losing government by following Whitlam's disastrous example.
Howard was even better. He had been Treasurer, the economy had been through the recession induced by Hawke and Keating and unemployment had reached the worse level since the Great Recession. And Howard was committed to reform, especially the labour market and tax reform.
Howard and Hawke were just as good at politics as they were at mainstream economics. The constant scrutiny of new technology may have played some part but finding the right person as Prime Minister and sufficient numbers of quality senior ministers still remains an essential element on the pathway to good government.
Peter Reith was a minister in the Howard government. He currently writes a column for the Sydney Morning Herald and appears regularly on Sky News. His book, The Reith Papers (MUP) is published this week.

Employee satisfaction is critical to have a motivated workplace. Right here are some excellent approaches to generate a pleased and productive work atmosphere.
I should not have to inform any person to be certain to carefully proofread and spell-verify every single page, but there, I mentioned it anyway. If your proposal seems carelessly thrown with each other, the reader may conclude you happen to be careless, as well. It's usually difficult to spot errors in your own perform, so it's a very good notion to have a person who is unfamiliar with your proposal do the final proof. Spell check can not catch words that are properly spelled but misused or a reused past proposal that nevertheless has one more customers name in it.
Culture is the values, attitudes, and techniques of performing things that a particular person brings with them from the distinct spot exactly where they had been brought up as a child. These values and attitudes can have an effect on communication across cultures simply because each and every person's norms and practices could be distinct and could possibly clash with those of co-workers brought up in a distinct parts of the planet.
Apart from keyboard skills, other capabilities could be essential based on the device that you use for making and formatting documents. Current use of touch screen devices and speech recognition systems will need 1 to have information of all the tactics needed to operate, input data and format information on the devices that they use.
Neighborhood produce and grocery products from a locally owned and operated business, that's what clients will find at 1 of the newest shops along Garland Ave. in Spokane. The business which is referred to as The Garland Mercantile opened a just a few weeks ago at 823 W. Garland, even though the people behind the business also ran a make stand inside the now defunct Spokane Public Market in the course of most of that market's run.
