Heirloom Tomato Tart with Gluten Free Crust
Roasted tomatoes, creamy ricotta and goat cheese, and fresh herbs like basil and garlic make this tart (almost) too good to be true. Roasting the tomatoes separately is the trick to getting an intense tomato flavor without a soggy filling. Gluten Free. <jump to recipe>
I've got some pretty exciting news. Come next month, I'll be starting a new job! The change has me saying goodbye to an amazing team that I've worked with for the last handful of years (sad face). Although at the same time, I'm really looking forward to joining a stellar crew in my hometown of Vancouver. And given that some of my old colleagues are now some of my closest friends, I know they're never more than a phone call away. So overall, it's good feels all around!
On one of my final work trips back to Toronto, a colleague of mine commented on my calm demeanor. Given my job, I took it as a pretty nice compliment. Deadlines are tight, clients can be demanding, and the pressure can sometimes boil over (inevitably). Years ago, there's no way I would have expected "calm" to be a word someone used to describe me. But here we are. Frankly, I'd be kidding myself if I agreed that I am always calm. Often times, I still feel like a new swimmer treading water: shoulders and head are calmly above the surface, but underneath, two legs are furiously kicking away to keep everything afloat. The kicking isn't so much flailing or panic, but rather a constant stream of thoughts. A list of to-do's, things to remember, e-mails to return, phone calls to make. It goes on and on, and it rarely slows down. Over the years I've found ways to quiet these voices…things like hiking, yoga or just chilling the heck out. But the thing that works best for me – and I've known this all along – is cooking.
This recipe isn't the fastest thing out there, but it's one of the most cathartic recipes in my repertoire. Whenever my mind feels full of thoughts, I like to make dishes like this. Things where you can go through the motions without thinking too hard. Where you can nibble along the way. And ultimately, where the product is a comforting dish that you could dive into, face first.
While tomato tarts definitely aren't new or revolutionary, it's taken me a lot of trial-and-error to get one that I'm fully happy with. Almost a month to be exact. Not kidding. Although, I was totally up for the challenge because the combination of ripe tomatoes, soft cheese and fresh herbs makes me weak at the knees. That and I've noticed a lot of common let-downs when it comes to tomato tarts. Things like soggy crusts, watery fillings or a tomato flavor that's less than all there. And when tomatoes as beautiful as these are in season – why settle for anything less than exceptional?
I started with one of my most popular recipes on the blog: the sunflower seed crust from this quiche recipe. After a couple minor tweaks to account for the different fillings, I'd say it makes for the most perfect base. I ended up bumping up some of the ingredients to get a thicker crust, which helps it hold up nicely after being filled with cheese and topped with tomatoes. Par-baking the crust, prior to adding to filling, is a pretty critical step in my opinion. It helps the crust firm up and brown on the inside. In other words, it's key to avoiding a soggy crust.
But perhaps the biggest revelation when developing this recipe was the two-step baking process for the tomatoes. The first time I made this, I ended up putting raw tomatoes directly on the tart. To be fair, I dried them off a bit beforehand. But regardless, I quickly learned that because tomatoes are quite watery, they'll continue to release water during the baking process (especially when they're juicy and in-season). And that's a definite no-no if you want a thick, creamy filling. To prevent a watery filling, I first roast the tomatoes in the oven, prior to layering them atop the tart for a second bake. Sure, the second step adds a bit of time to the overall baking process, but in the end I'm confident you'll agree it's worth it. And, since you can bake the tomatoes at the same time as the crust, it really isn't so bad after all.
Once the crust is baked and the tomatoes are roasted, you'll fill the tart with a creamy blend of goat cheese and ricotta. Fresh basil gets mixed in for extra flavor. Then, layer the tomatoes on top of the tart and bake until the cheese is warm and the crust is golden brown. The smell is intoxicating, I'm warning you. For best results, allow the tart to cool slightly before attempting to cut into it. Serve alongside a light salad or sides of your choice. This tart makes for a yummy brunch or main dish…you choose!
2 lbs / 0.9 kg heirloom tomatoes*
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3/4 cup ricotta cheese
3/4 cup goat cheese
2 tablespoons fresh basil
1/4 teaspoon salt
Black pepper, to taste
2 cloves garlic, minced
Sunflower seed crust:
1 1/4 cups oats
3/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons chilled butter
~3 tablespoons ice cold water
Preheat oven to 350°F and set aside a 9" tart-pan (with a removable bottom). Slice the tomatoes about 1/4" thick. Place sliced tomatoes on a cutting board or plates lined with paper towels.
Now, prepare the crust. In a food processor, blend oats until the texture of coarse sand. Add sunflower seeds and salt and blend until the seeds are also a crumb-like texture. Add the chilled butter and pulse until well incorporated. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing until the mixture comes together in a ball. It should take ~3 tablespoons until this happens. Pour the dough out into the tart pan and use your fingers to press in the crust firmly. Use a fork to prick the crust 15 times to allow steam to escape when baking.
Meanwhile, use clean paper towels to dab away moisture from the tops of the tomatoes. Transfer tomato slices onto two baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Brush tops with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place the tomatoes in the oven, and bake for 45 minutes until they begin to dry and wrinkle. Once the tomatoes go into the oven, add in the tart shell to bake at the same time. Bake the tart shell for 30 minutes and allow it to cool while the tomatoes finish roasting.
In a bowl, add ricotta and goat cheese. Use a spoon to beat the cheese until it is light and fluffy. Give the basil a rough chop and mix into the cheese mixture, alongside salt. Spoon filling into the tart shell and spread it evenly across the bottom and up the sides.
Use a spatula to lift the tomatoes off the baking sheet and arrange them on the tart. Brush the tops with remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and sprinkle with minced garlic. Return the tart to the oven and bake for another 20-25 minutes until the cheese is warm and the crust is golden brown. Allow the tart to cool slightly before removing it from the pan. Can be served slightly warm or room temperature. Garnish with extra salt and black pepper, if desired.
*Try to select similarly sized tomatoes as they'll cook at the same rate.
To prevent your crust from sticking, I highly recommend using a non-stick tart pan with a removable bottom. If you don't have one, then cut out a circle of parchment paper to place on the bottom of the pan. You may want to grease the pan as well to help it pop out easily.
Crust adapted from my "Quiche with Leeks, Thyme and Goat Cheese" recipe

From Hoarder to "Heave-It" in Three Not-So-Easy Steps
Part 2 of a three-part guest post from Tara Coleman, Joelle Pitts, and Harish Maringanti.
The Problem: unused, dated content on the site
Step 1:
Once a comprehensive list of the Libraries' web pages and statistics was created, the content audit began. The content audit plans were framed around the article "Spring Cleaning: Finding your lost sock. The guide to content audits." published by Nick DeNaardis on the website .eduGuru. His article advised inventorying every page on a site and compiling a document with components such as: page title, owner, last updated, visits, and currency. DeNaardis advised that once the data was compiled, the team should inspect the data, remove outdated content and edit. The original goal of the Libraries' audit was to identify which pages were published, remove out-of-date and irrelevant information, and update pages determined of value to the organization. The article provided sound advice, but the Web Services Librarian quickly discovered the content audit was going to be a challenge. This was the first content audit the Libraries undertook. Over 3,500 published pages were discovered (more than the number of freshman students admitted to the university every fall). Not only were there a lot of pages, many of them were unlinked and forgotten until the audit began. Because they were forgotten, many of them were out of date.
Due to the size of the organization, the specialization of the information online, and the large number of published pages, the content audit was distributed amongst library staff. Pages were grouped together by department or content owner/expert. Pages that had no obvious content owner were reviewed by the web services librarian. Each content owner was sent an excel spreadsheet of links and statistics and asked to review each page listed on the spreadsheet. Content owners were asked to decide if pages should be kept online with the understanding that they would either be updated if necessary, or archived and deleted. In other words, the pages were taken offline but a copy of the local file was kept for archiving purposes.
On first glance, the content audit seemed an easy first step in the overall redesign process, but once begun, the challenges of the work became apparent. The review of over 3,500 web pages was overwhelming for some. The distribution of the web pages was also uneven. The review of department and unit web pages was, of course, not a high priority for many content owners, making the review process time consuming. Additionally, while many of the pages had low usage statistics, once discovered, many content owners wanted to keep pages they did not realize were published, a decision making process made more difficult by the fact that no previous standards or benchmark for deleting old pages was in existence. These factors contributed to a very lengthy, frustrating process which prevented the website redesign team from moving forward on schedule.
Step 2: Targeted Clusters
Once we realized our content audit wasn't working we decided to take a different path. Our User Experience team clustered similar content together and evaluated each cluster based on page hits and content, then approached the content owner with our decision. While this method was somewhat faster, it did not alleviate the emotional attachment some individuals had with content or the problem of content owners wanting to keep every piece of information online irregardless of use or value. After a few months of this process we decided it was time to try something different.
Step 3: The Scream Test
That something came (ironically )in the form of a work-life balance seminar that emphasized the Scream Test approach to prioritize projects. So we had a new plan. Our User Experience team would decide what would be migrated over and what would be archived. In most cases we didn't consult with content owners, we just retired the pages. If someone screamed "Where's my page?" we would work to address the concern and decide if the page should stay archived or if it should be up (and how it should look etc).
The Scream Test method was by far the best of the three for our organization. We did it with full support of our administration and it has helped to speed along our process immensely. If you can, we would recommend that you use this process when it comes time for you to migrate over content.

Stay tuned for Part 3 (the outcome).

ASX listed technology distributor Cellnet (ASX:CLT) has reported strong profit growth for the half year to 31 December, recording a 64 per cent higher year-on-year profit of $1.524 million.
Revenue increased 1.3 per cent year-on-year to $44.657 million.
According to an ASX statement from the company, the growth is the result of an expanded customer base, a more rounded product offering and operational efficiencies.
Despite the profit increase the company has flagged that full capacity utilisation and effectively utilising available cash resources remain challenges.
"In this regard, several potential opportunities have been considered and the Company continues to seek appropriate opportunities," the statement reads.
Last year Cellnet suggested it would use its cash reserves, then about $20 million, to explore merger or acquisition opportunities in the 2010 financial year.
"We've got an open mind," Cellnet chairman, Alexander Beard, told ARN.
The company has also flagged the termination of its distribution agreement with Sandisk, finalised on 26 January, was likely to result in a revenue decrease of $2 million.
"The company's operations in both Australia and New Zealand continue to grow and while it is too early in the financial year to provide guidance for the remainder of the financial year, the Company is optimistic earnings will further improve during the second half of the 2011 financial year," the statement reads.

Opening of a New Community – Province of Mexico-Cuba
Praised forever be Jesus and Mary
Mexico, D.F. January 14, 2016.
We think that this news can rejoice you:
With hope we share with you that two days ago, on January 12, we opened a new community of Jesus and Mary in Amacuzac, a town in the State of Morelos, Diocese of Cuernavaca.
Amacuzac, from náhuatl Amaticoztitlán that means place where the "yellow amates" (kind of a fig tree) are abundant (a medicinal tree), is a municipality of the State of Morelos that is adjacent on the south and south-east with the State of Guerrero, on the way to Iguala. It is about two hours and a half from Mexico, D.F., and less than an hour's distance from Cuernavaca.
The Bishop Don Ramón Castro Castro, has invited us to this town where the Sisters will share their faith in different pastoral tasks, having as their principal service "the pastoral ministry of listening, of conversation and of consolation", as well as the School of Pardon and Reconciliation, EsPeRe, among others.
We are grateful for the enthusiasm and generosity of the four Sisters that will take part of this community, the thrust and the hope of the Province of Mexico-Cuba that grows "in age", and that with this foundation, desires to continue growing also in love and service to the poorest.
We ask you to pray for us, that we allow ourselves to be accompanied by these people, that we learn from them, the way how God reveals to his good, welcoming people, who desire to live in peace.
That this new presence of Jesus and Mary be, like the "yellow amates" of Amacuzac, remedy, balm that heals wounds, tonic that helps to remember that in this year of Mercy, we are all called to have "life in abundance" cf. Jn. 10, 10.
That the new foundation in Amacuzac be a simple way to begin to welcome the 200 years of Jesus and Mary in the world (October 5, 2018), a way of thanking in serving, for so much good received… EE. 233.
With love and hope,
Provincial Team
JM Province Mexico-Cuba

Someone emailed me and asked if I was the boy whose photograph is on the Welcome Page of my website. In conjunction with that question, I am linking to one of several You Tube videos on bullying that I have viewed. I have chosen this particular video because I like its focus. That is, it attempts to allow the viewer to try to understand what bullying is like—as opposed to the emphasis within my story, allowing the reader to try to understand how such kids feel in their private moments. Thus, I thought this video complemented my story well.
Because there is no editorial content to the video beyond the self-evident, I preferred it to some others—although not without considerable merit—that I have viewed and have some factual and philosophical differences with their content. As I stated elsewhere on my site, I believe many way overestimate the amount of kids who are victims of what I, at least, consider severe school bullying, and I feel as though such cheapens the problem in the attempt to achieve the opposite result.
I also adamantly maintain that real bullying entails only acts of commission and not acts of omission as some anti-bullying advocates maintain. It is up to each individual to make his or her way through life and the social world and to maintain one's own sense of worth and self-esteem. Simply being excluded from certain activities or school cliques does not rise to my definition of bullying. Children have the same right of free association as do adults and such should be recognized. By all means, I have sympathy for such youngsters, and I believe they should be helped by adults to improve their social skills along the lines I have already written about in my first essay on Tourette's Syndrome.
I also believe it is incumbent upon educators to use their experience in trying to spot kids suffering from low self-esteem due to poor social skills and bring such concerns to the attention of the child's parents and perhaps try to spot more popular classmates with a decent nature and persuade them to render whatever assistance they can. Still, social exclusion alone does not constitute my definition of bullying. As stated before, bullying is an infringement on a child's basic right to be simply left alone when he or she is acting accordingly towards others. Click to continue:

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Shipping Container and how is it constructed?
Shipping Containers also known as ISO Freight Containers are constructed of corten steel and were specifically designed for Marine transportation. They are not only extremely secure but durable under intense weather conditions at sea. They have corrugated steel doors and floors, with a rigid steel framework. The 27mm thick treated timber floors are mounted on steel cross members. The double doors on the end have four full height locking bars fitted with lockable handles. It is recommended that a cowl/lock box is welded to the doors to further secure the container for storage.
What different sizes and weights do Shipping Containers come in?
The empty tare weight of our containers are as follows: Shipping Container
8 foot Shipping Container: 950kg or 1.0472ton
10 foot Shipping Container: 1300kg or1.433ton
20 foot Shipping Container: 2200kg or 2.25ton
40 foot Shipping Container: 3950kg or 4 ton
Is planning permission required?
As Shipping Containers are considered non permanent units, they do not normally require planning permission however, it is always best to check with your local authorities depending on where the Container is to be placed.
Does the ground need to be prepared before my Shipping Container is delivered?
In order for the doors to open freely the ground will need to be level, we recommend that you place sleepers or concrete paving slats where the Container is to be placed. Our fully experienced drivers will help with the positioning and levelling of the Container on delivery.
Is a Shipping Container secure?
Shipping Containers are extremely secure and almost vandal proof. If you are concerned about security we are able to fit a cowl/lock box which acts as a shield over the padlock, making it virtually impossible for bolt croppers to get underneath. We can also provide hardened steel padlocks that fit securely within the cowl. Please see our accessories page for details.
Do Shipping Containers cause condensation?
Shipping Containers are not generally the culprit of condensation, it can be the contents of the Container that holds the moisture and thus produces condensation. The majority of our containers have vents which do help to combat this but if you are particularly worried about delicate goods it's a good idea to open the doors occasionally to allow the air to circulate. We do offer alternative solutions like moisture traps. These are designed for around the world trips of 90 days and have a collection capacity for up to 2 litres of moisture.
Will my Shipping Container be difficult to maintain?
Shipping containers need very little maintenance as they are so hard wearing. It is a good idea to Grease the locking rods and hinges regularly to ensure that the doors remain in good working order and for ease of use.
How will my Shipping Container be delivered on site?
The Shipping Container will be delivered on a vehicle that is fitted with it's own crane, this is called a Hi-Ab. As the container is delivered off the side of the vehicle, we will require around 20' width to allow for the offload. You must also ensure that there are no overhanging trees or cables. We will require a hard core access to the delivery site due to the weight of the vehicle. The height of the lorry will be approximately 15' with the Container loaded and you will need to allow an arctic lorry that is a maximum of 60' long by 8'6″ wide plus some allowance for the wing mirrors. Shipping Containers can be delivered almost anywhere, if you have any concerns regarding delivery we are happy to discuss them with you, as our experienced drivers have many methods and options for difficult deliveries on awkward sites.

The cutout trend was heavily in vogue this summer. I love cutout anything. I love clothing items that are very plain in the front but detailed in the back. I love bodysuits. This is a 3-in-1 top and I love it.
I needed an outfit to wear to a friend's 4oth birthday and this look was my choice. But not the hair, lol! It was a party that required an evening attire. So rather than spend money on buying another gown that will probably never see the light of day, I opted for a two piece item by Maje – a lace maxi skirt and a cutout bodysuit. Anything by Maje is a winner in my book. When I first saw the skirt, I naturally fell in love with it. It screams multi-functional because it can either be worn dressed up or down. I will feature a couple of sets tomorrow showing multiple ways the skirt can be worn and how it can transition from a summer item into a fall score. Rather than a statement necklace, I opted for brooches on both sides of the skirt to zing the look up a bit.

A Gentler Future for Knowledge Work, January 5, 2017The French law really struck a personal note for me. The reason for that is when I was younger, it's less over the last few years, but when I was younger I was basically working 17 hours a day.
I would be spending a little bit of the time with family, but even when I'm there the email's going and if something important comes in I'm going to respond to it. There's someone who I worked with for a long time, worked very closely, and certainly email was a big part of our communication. Probably more so for me, I've always been a heavy email-er, I'm introverted, it just email as a medium suits me pretty well. There came a point his wife wrote me and said, "Dirk, you can't send emails on the weekend anymore." She said, "All weekend emails flow in from you with all these big initiatives, requests, things to do, and my husband gets more and more stressed. More and more anxious. More and more unhappy, because your emails keep coming in." She said, "You just, you just can't do it anymore."
I was in my 30s at that point and so you know I had been emailing my way, which is 24/7 essentially for many years. Just oblivious to the possibility that for another person, that flow of communication in certain times, in certain volumes, would be a negative. Would be something that had a deleterious effect on them, because at that phase of my life I was just sort of wired to be always working, always going, it wasn't, it may have been subconsciously and internally stressful for me in ways I wasn't in touch with. Consciously when emails would come in I didn't feel stress, I just attacked them, I just took them, I just went right to them. The metaphor I've used for email is tennis. It's like playing tennis. I would run around the court making sure the balls were always in the other people's court, basically.
Fast forward now to today, and France is identifying the fact that email, receiving email, feeling the compulsion to respond to email, the requests that email may contain that spur someone to other action at certain times, in certain proportions, isn't good for you. It's unhealthy in ways large or small. I think that's an important recognition. I don't think that the French law, you know, you said the sort of- we don't know yet, is it just one little thing, is it visionary. It's probably one little thing. France has been a trailblazer in affecting labor law that basically no-one else adopts, right? France famously did the 30 hour work week I don't know how many years ago, but sometime this decade. You know, nobody else is doing that, or maybe there's a few small countries. But, the main pillars of the economy certainly are not. They're going by the old rules, and the old modes.
I'm happy that this law is sort of making us think more about the impacts of modern technology on human life. First world life to make it more specific. But, I don't think that this law in and of itself is going to amount to a sea-change of any sort.
I think things are going to get on differently now then in the earlier industrial revolution and there's a few reasons why. Number one is at that time, the worst part of your life was work. You would go in, you'd lose fingers, you wouldn't be able to sleep, it was human slavery, human torture, human- I mean it was really, the worst part of your life was the work experience. Now, the worst part of your life is not the work experience. So yeah I know, using email as the example, it can be stressful to get email at night. It can be stressful to get email on vacation, on the weekend, yadda, yadda, yadda. But, that's not the worst part of our lives. The worst part of our lives is not the work part, it's the life part. It's the fact that we're addicted to sugar. It's the fact that we're addicted to salt. It's the fact that we are addicted to the call of the new. It's the fact that we are in this broken capitalist paradigm that makes us fat, that makes us inattentive, that makes us feel unfulfilled.
There were enormous reasons why the industrial revolution needed to be reformed, and the inhumanity of work needed to be brought more in line with what's appropriate. But, it's so much farther down the list now. The issues we have, or rather some of the personal things that I said, or some of the more systemic things around global warming. Like, the fact that email stresses us out is just not a big deal on the list, whereas child labor laws and some of the things that didn't exist over a 100 years ago, like the absence of those, were more sort of at the fulcrum of what was wrong with civilization.
The things that are wrong with civilization now are really far removed from the plight of the digital worker. Which, is not to say that those aren't negative things, but it's going to be a lot harder to coalesce around that as the rallying cry in this environment of plenty, and where the real issues and the real things that are killing us are happening at a very different level.
When I walk into a store, they have a sensor that records the person walked into the store; is that inclusive in my data? When I'm out on the street there are cameras filming, and some of them can make out my face and could come in tight on my face, and that's data out there. Is that my data? To me that's the trickiest, because it requires a crisp definition of what, quote unquote, your data is. I haven't seen a good thesis for what that should be, and I think getting to the bottom of it is going to be tricky.
AI & Creativity, July 7, 2016I think the creativity is the special human things, just it's a myth. I mean creativity is just sort of the manifestation of something unexpected, something less straightforward. That's accomplished by some combination, of need that just forces spontaneous innovation, or just by people's processor's people's mind and problem solving machines. Our internal machines operating differently or unless unnecessarily better where the creativity comes from people who are operating differently either due to the wiring and the piping that we have, and/or due to the way that they're solving problems or the contact store, or a lot of different factors.
None of that to me is special or unique and it's just a matter of time before the most creative pursuits that humans are able to express will be matched and exceeded by machines. There's a lot I don't know on the engineering side, so I hesitate to put specific dates on it. I know for a fact, like there are some things creatively, I'm really good at. I know exactly how I could communicate to an engineer, what the process is, what's going on that gets me from zero to really cool funky, unexpected solution.
If I can do that, other people can do that. Once we're able to translate that into commands for the machine it's game-set-match, and I don't mean that from like a scary, "Oh my god we are irrelevant" perspective, even though that's one possible long term outcome. Just from the perspective that this creativity isn't special, it's not protected, it's not safe. It might be further out before the machines are able to get there. It is going to inevitably come and so rather than fear it or rail against it we just have to think about what's next for us.
AI & Original Works of Art, April 14, 2016If you think about how art schools work, they focus first on foundations and skills and fundamentals and you begin to learn a lot of different ways to create. The AI is learning different skills and different fundamentals and different tools and ways to create. The interesting question is how far are we away from the AI creating things that are uniquely its own based on the synthesis of many different styles and skills that it has developed beforehand? It probably is decades, meaning low ten to twenty years, as opposed to three to four, but it's coming. Not too far away. It's definitely coming, and how will you feel then?
Art is … I don't think it's so much an expression of the world around us as it's an expression of the context that we have been exposed to and how we process and react to it. It happens that as humans and the way we live our life as humans, the context that we're exposed to encompasses a great deal of data that seeps into many aspects of the world, at least in some limited geographical, cultural context.
The amount of context that machines will have in the future is going to grow exponentially. Right now the context of expression of the world that a computer would turn into art is a mash up of Picasso and Michelangelo and Rembrandt, or whomever, without the greater understanding of the world and place and the many things that inform human art. It's inevitable that that context will be a part of artificial intelligence in the future.
At the point it has all of that context to go with the skills, it's going to be doing what we do. I believe in hard determinism, so I believe that the things that we do are an inevitable, and if we had machines powerful enough to do so, even predictable synthesis of basically all of our nature and nurture up until that point, and as we interact with the world itself. The idea of free will and the human spirit, I think that those are clumsy ways of explaining things that we don't have computational power enough to understand.
I think that AI and machines are being built in the model and mode of humans but with computational power that will continue to be orders of magnitude higher than we ourselves have. They're taking our place as operational actors in many different ways, from a technological perspective, is an inevitability. The question is will things be done artificially from a social, legal perspective to prevent that operational eclipse of humans guiding the world. To me that's the big question and unknown.
As far as computers being able to create original art in this dramatic, idealistic, lovely way that we think of human artists creating, I think it's asked and answered and it's coming. It's just how long will it take the nerds to take to program the machines properly to be able to do that? It will probably be faster than we think.
On the Past and Future of Agencies, August 27, 2015Yeah, just another market cycle. Go back 50 years, go back to the time of "Mad Men" and the agency business waxes and wanes in different ways and the thing that's most noticeable about it, is that while agencies work, outside services work continues to be required and there continue to be a lot of firms, they are changing over time. What services they're offering, how they position themselves. Certainly agencies that are staying in place and not changing, adapting to the market and the needs of customers, they might be in trouble.
That's healthy. That's the good part of free markets that work. Those who don't adapt, are going to be left behind. Even some who do adapt will be left behind but in the long now, a decode from now, there'll be approximately the same amount of outside providers as there are now, as there are always. It's just a moment.
In the U.S. we look at things so short term. Financials are always quarterly. Other cultures primarily, and particularly eastern cultures, have a much longer time horizon. It's much healthier, it's much more correct and as usual we're just panicking here as relates to short term stuff.
In the long now, things from the standpoint of outside, service providers being an augmentation to businesses and corporations, we're going to be here. External creatives doing our thing as well as ever, just in different ways perhaps.

The union representing about 1,600 Providence, Rhode Island, municipal workers has reached a tentative agreement on a three-year contract with the mayor.
Jorge Elorza's office announced Wednesday that members of Local 1033 of the Laborers' International Union would not receive a pay increase in the first year of the deal. The following year they would receive a 2 percent raise and a 2.75 percent increase in the final year of the deal. Their contract expired in June.
The union's full membership and City Council must still approve the agreement.
The Elorza administration says the pay increases in the second and third years of the deal would be offset by about $4.4 million in savings by streamlining health benefits and modernizing how substitute teachers' assistants are deployed.

One of the questions people ask me the most often is: "what sorts of books or authors inspired me when I was a kid". While I can remember the books, I generally never paid much attention to who wrote them. This is just kind of my personality. I can't even remember who sings my favorite songs most of the time, but I can sing all the words.
The Animorphs series comes to mind right off the bat. I loved those books, as I've always been drawn to Sci-Fi/Fantasy. I remember my dad and I would read Goosebumps before bed in the evenings. We would take turns reading outloud. And I would get so frustrated when we couldn't read the next chapter because I had to go to bed.
I think that I was drawn to books because my kindergarten teacher told my parents that I would struggle with reading and writing. Not sure how she was able to determine that at such a young age. Anyway, HA! How do you like me now? I believe that it is our mentors telling us we can't do something that really drives us to achieve what we never thought possible.
I fear for kids these days. They do so much reading and writing on their mobile devices, but can't pick up a book and read it. I hope that more parents will read with their kids. I know that if I have kids they will be playing the piano and reading!

Business structures and types
If you're thinking of starting a business, you'll need to look at the advantages and disadvantages of each different business structure and work out which structure best suits your needs.
The four most common types of business structures in Australia are:
- Sole trader: an individual operating as the sole person legally responsible for all aspects of the business. Like other structures, as a sole trader you can employ people to help you run your business.
- Company: a legal entity separate from its shareholders. Read about the differences between a sole trader and a company to understand the tax differences, your potential personal liability and the legal obligations when employing people.
- Partnership: an association of people or entities running a business together but not as a company.
- Trust: an entity that holds property or income for the benefit of others.
If you're unsure about starting a unique business, you may like to consider franchising.
Before deciding which business structure to use, it's important you seek advice from a professional business adviser, a lawyer or an accountant. You can also search our Advisory Services to find a low-cost business adviser near you.
Not sure which business structure to use?
Read more about choosing a business structure or use our Help me decide tool to help you work out the business structure that best suits your needs. All you need to do is answer a few questions about your business.
Once you've decided on your business structure, the tool can also help you work out which business and tax registrations you'll need.
We need your help! If you use this tool, please give us your feedback so we can make it even better!
Changing business structures
It is important to know that you're not locked into one business structure for the life of your business. As your business grows and changes, you may decide to move to a different type of business structure.
Before changing structures, you need to be aware of the differences and obligations for each.
Find out the common reasons for changing structures and what to consider when changing your business structure.

Striking Teachers, Divided Antipathies
Both sides say they only have the interest of schoolchildren at heart.
Whichever way the Chicago teachers strike ends, one may be fairly certain that the children of Chicago will not win. This may seem an odd prediction, since both sides in the strike, the 29,000-member Chicago Teachers Union vs. Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the Chicago School Board, contend that this dispute is at bottom about the children, with each, of course, having only the interest of the children at heart.
