Museum Culture in the Anglo-American Atlantic World, c. 1750-1815
MetadataShow full item record
During the late eighteenth century and early nineteenth centuries, the Anglo-American Atlantic world saw a rise in the number and popularity of museums as cultural institutions. By concentrating on the premier museums in each culture, the British Museum and Charles Willson Peale's Philadelphia Museum, this project seeks to establish two things: 1) the circumstances that allowed museums to become a vanguard in the British and American societies of 1750-1820, and 2) the kinds of changes museums instigated upon assuming a role of significant cultural influence. The social climate of these two populations was such that museums were able to assume a function fashioned by contemporary social conditions. The impacts of the Enlightenment, a rising middle classes, and the creation of a consumer culture coalesced to set the stage for museums to become a force of significant social influence. As these museums gained in popularity, they began to influence their surroundings. They became forums for social change, serving as institutions of education that aimed to instruct both the erudite elite and the "curious" in matters of virtue as well as in matters of intellect. Museums offered a new form of popular entertainment and provided an environment that fostered social mingling between classes. Furthermore, these museums altered their audience's perceptions of their many worlds, including the natural world, their own culture and national identity, and the world of the "others" that existed outside their borders, particularly the Amerindian, African, and South Pacific cultures. The British Museum and the Peale Museum were used in their respective societies as tools to cultivate a unifying definition of "Britishness" or "Americanness" by creating their own image in opposition to the "others" and by using elements of natural history to instill a sense of pride in the homeland. The institutions' directors took advantage of the popularity and influence the museums had assumed in their respective cultures and used them to better and strengthen those societies.

Bryston BP1.5 Préampli Phono
Code article: A55
Bryston BP-1.5MC Étage Phono pour les cellules MM et MC.
Bruit et autres influences non souhaitées sont réduits par une alimentation séparée (option). Si vous avez déjà un préampli Bryston BP-26 vous pourrez utiliser votre MPS-2 power supply. Également, les utilisateurs d'un préampli BP-20 / BP-25 peuvent connecter leur MPS-1.
Ce préampli phono BP 1.5 porte la garantie Bryston de 20 ans !!
En stock / En écoute.
High-quality, Broadcast-grade Phono Stage
The huge library of music present on vinyl represents an irreplaceable treasure. As such it becomes more important than ever to reproduce the music with the greatest faithfulness to the original recording.
The Bryston BP1.5 is a high quality, broadcast grade phono stage offering both Moving Magnet and Moving Coil cartridge step-up capabilities. It features one pair of power supply input and outputs plus one pair of RCA inputs and outputs.
Phono Gain
The BP 1.5 includes two different amplifier modes to accommodate both MM (moving-magnet) and MC (moving-coil) phono cartridges.
The moving-magnet mode comes factory set at 35 dB of gain, but can be adjusted with an inside jumper to 41dB gain. The moving-coil mode adds an additional gain stage to the MM stage with a step-up transformer. This step-up transformer has adjustments for gain as well. It can be set for 22.5 dB or 16.5 dB of gain. It is factory set for 22.5 dB as this will facilitate 90% of the MC cartridges available. The standard gain of 22.5 dB accommodates cartridges with outputs of less than 40 ohms impedance. The 16.5dB of gain is for cartridges of 40 to 150 ohm output impedance.
Input Capacitance Loading for Moving-Magnet Section
The Moving-magnet input capacitance switch is located on the rear panel and consists of a four element DIP (Dual In Line) switch and eight high precision capacitors. Four capacitors for the left and four capacitors for the right channel. This ensures the correct amount of capacitance across the Phono cartridge to provide accurate performance.
Mute Switch
The Manual MUTE switch on the front panel can be activated at any time. This switch mutes the output and is indicated by the front panel LED turning from Green to Red.
Note: The BP-1.5 does not have its own power supply. It requires either the Bryston BP-26 / BP-25 / BP-20 Preamplifier or the MPS-2 / MPS-1 outboard power supply for operation.

Anemones from Cornwall
About this work of Art
Judith Yarrow. Anemones from Cornwall.
This is a limited edition Giclee print of 100, of exceptional quality with light fast inks on Albrecht Durer fine art paper with accurate colour matching to the original. This print is numbered and signed both back and front.
This work is sold unframed but mounted.
A friend sent me a bunch of anemones at the end of December 2013 when I was ill with flue. They arrived in a small box in the post and looked dried up and unpromising. However once in water they slowly emerged into a glory of rich colours to give me hope in those short dark days of mid-winter.

This customer contacted us looking to get a refreshed look for his Celica. Plastidip was a great solution because it protects the paint at the same time! He was looking for a colour similar to what he already had on his car – a deep blue. We suggested a basic matte Navy Blue dip and black Plastidipped rims to give the vehicle a more aggressive look!
We sprayed:
- 3 coats of a light grey Plastidip base
- 6 coats of the Navy Blue Plastidip on top of the base
- 6 thick black coats for the rims
We used a light grey base (mixed white and black), because we wanted the car to not look too dark, and we were concerned with the effect that a darker base would have on the final product.

HONG KONG (Reuters) - China Evergrande Group (3333.HK) said on Monday it has completed redeeming 71.3 percent, or 80.56 billion yuan ($11.84 billion), of its outstanding perpetual capital instruments and plans to redeem the remainder of such instruments by the end of June.
Shares of the country's top homebuilder closed up 11.3 percent at a record high on Monday ahead of the announcement. Evergrande shares have soared 90 percent since mid-May.
The property developer, sitting on corporate China's second-biggest debt pile, had vowed in March to enhance debt control by repaying most of its high-interest loans, and said it was confident its leverage ratio will fall after strong sales and an A-share backdoor listing this year.
Evergrande still has 28.8 billion yuan of outstanding perpetual capital instruments. The redemptions, announced in a statement on Monday, exceed the company's original targets, which was repaying half in the first half of 2017, and a total of two-thirds by the end of the year.
Analysts said Evergrande would see significant improvement in both earnings and balance sheet after repaying all the perpetual capital instruments.

A forceps delivery is a common form of childbirth delivery that is used by medical practitioners in New Mexico and other parts of the country. In a forceps delivery, forceps, which resemble tongs, are placed around the infant's head in order to assist with a vaginal delivery. Sometimes, the medical practitioner might insist on a forceps delivery during the second stage of delivery.
What are the various risks with a forceps delivery?
New Mexico lawyers advocating rights of bicycle accident victims
Texas roads are often unsafe for cyclists. When involved in car accidents, reports show bicycle riders are most likely to suffer grave injuries which may even prove fatal. For decades, the attorneys at The Jaffe Law Firm have stood firm when advocating for the rights of bicycle accident victims.
Seeking legal recourse after a car accident in Albuquerque
Residents of Bernalillo County, New Mexico, will probably agree that accidents caused by motor vehicles are a big concern for law enforcement, who try their best through numerous awareness programs and enforcement of traffic laws to educate drivers about safe driving. However, despite these best efforts, accidents still occur.
Santa Fe woman, 55, killed in car crash on NM Highway 599
New Mexicans who drive are expected to operate their vehicles cautiously on the state's roads and highways at all times. Where drivers are not careful, accidents often result, and these can severely alter the course of someone's life if not end it.
What are the various causes of cerebral palsy?
Birth injuries are defined as any injury acquired during the birth of an infant. Cerebral palsy is one of the most common forms of birth injuries. Cerebral palsy may be caused due to damage to the head or brain. With cerebral palsy, the infant's brain does not develop in the normal age process.
Bicycle accidents in New Mexico can be avoided
Bicycling is a fantastic way to keep fit. Many people in the Albuquerque area enjoy cycling since there is a good network of flat trails and mountain biking trails in the town. Many people also enjoy cycling on the roads and city streets. Cyclists must be aware, however, of the applicable traffic laws and the dangers of riding a bike on city streets.
Four vacationers killed in New Mexico car crash
Many people visit New Mexico for its unique culture, wilderness areas and beautiful landscapes. Many of these visitors are from neighboring states on road trips with the family and friends. They want to enjoy the land, have fun and make the most of the trip to collect memories for when they return to their routine life. However, an accident during a vacation can turn wonderful memories into tragic memories.
New Mexico car accident kills one, injures others
An auto accident that occurs on the streets of any New Mexico city or town is always unfortunate. Not only can it lead to personal injury, but some car crash victims lose their lives. Despite this knowledge, motorists continue to rush along New Mexico's streets, failing to yield to others, and not always succeeding in avoiding tragic car accidents.
Santa Fe woman dies in bike crash with New Mexico train
Bicycling is a popular and favorite urban pastime that also meets the needs for a healthy lifestyle for many. But urban planners have not always provided an allotment of safe areas for bicyclists to use, such as dedicated bike paths, where a cyclist might ride relatively safe with traffic. As Bernalillo, New Mexico, cyclists know, bicycles offer no protection when involved in crashes with other vehicles and riders are consequently at far greater risk for injury from a bicycle accident. A recent fatal bike accident on Santa Fe's Rail Trail highlights just how unprotected and open to injury risk, a cyclist can be.

- Looks Great!
My window box is up and ready to be used. It was a little more than I wanted to spend - but with the pac material I shouldn't need to do any maintenance for a long time - so that is worth the price.
It came on time and in good condition. No complaints.

During my life, I have been a Fan of many Singers, Bands, TV, Movie & Sports Stars, but one will always stand out.
Mr. Ang Christou – Former Carlton Footballer.
In my Late Teenage Years, when he was playing AFL Football, I was smitten by his looks, personality & football ability. I idolised him & thought he was downright awesome.
But what Ang went through with his Back Injury in 1997-98, was what cemented nothing but total respect for him. He then became, the person I thought about when life dealt me personal setbacks. Ang had battled hell & come through in the end, so I knew it was possible to also hang in there.
I used to write to Ang randomly & to this day I still have his letters & photos. It meant a great deal that he would make the effort to personally write back.
Ang will always remain an inspiration to me.
To read about his current life – see the link below.
He currently co-owns the Souvlaki Hut restaurant in Lower Templestowe, with former team-mate Anthony Koutoufides.

Playing beat-y bo'
A busy week remixing has been capped off with two remixes of a dubstep tune, after yesterday's wristwatch remix went in that direction. This first track didn't feel dubstep enough, but then the follow-up felt too dubstep. Anyway, it's fun finding how much of a different spin you can put on a collection of samples. This next track is a sample of a wristwatch ticking, which I recorded for a Disquiet Junto project. A wristwatch sample was then used to make sounds resembling kick drum, percussion and a bassline through using a chain of effects. These were quickly arranged for the following track. And another remix was my JBroid Pink Death Coronial Inquest mix, bringing a total of four remixes this week. The week before I made two remixes, so that's quite an improvement -- in quantity, anyway.

Have you ever wondered why an individual who chooses to discontinue one addictive substance often picks up another? Maybe a recovering alcoholic now drinks an increased amount of coffee or energy drinks?
Or a former smoker finds himself with an intense desire to eat…and eat…and eat?
Or maybe overeating was the initial issue, and once that was well managed, the person has developed a smoking or drinking habit? Fear not! There is science to support this trend and it's something you can share with your clients to help them understand that alternatives exist to help them succeed!
When an individual becomes addicted to a substance, whether it be an illicit drug, nicotine, alcohol or perhaps even food, the brain releases the chemical dopamine as a reward.
Dopamine is the "feel good" chemical, and it is released in large quantities directly into the brain when consuming an addictive substance.
Over time, the receptors in the brain get used to these huge releases of dopamine and it takes more of the substances to create the initial "high" felt in the beginning. This time is where tolerance and the true addiction kicks in. When the substance is removed, the dopamine receptors are now seeking an alternative means to get that "boost" they previously received.
The brain seeks out any source it can find to boost dopamine, often fulfilling the need with another addictive substance that will increase the chemical levels in a similar way.
True Recovery
So now lets look at recovery – how can our clients truly enter recovery if they replace one addictive behavior with another? Yes, our client has kicked the primary habit – hooray! But now what? What has he done to replace the addiction (the primary coping tool) so he can manage day to day stress?
Well, if clients have not been working through a system of developing techniques to cope with emotions, anxiety, etc. in healthy ways, cross-addiction has most likely slipped in. Perhaps now they are struggling with the new addiction because they didn't participate in therapy to address the core issues in the beginning of the recovery process.
What can you offer, as a therapist, as a means to learning healthy alternatives to managing the stress, anxiety, etc., to help the client stay on track in his/her recovery?
Addictive thinking often drives the behaviors and feelings that lead to thoughts of relapse or seeking alternative means of filling a perceived void. Ever heard the saying "you go with what you know?"
Lacking support and understanding in recognizing substance abuse as a coping skill (albeit unhealthy) lessens the ability to seek alternate, healthier options such as meditation or exercise in the face of crisis (Intense emotions = painful feelings that are difficult to face = resort back to use of substances to decrease pain/increase dopamine).
A Forgotten Roadblock
Focus on helping clients identify healthy habits to incorporate into his/her daily life that will become so ingrained into their mindsets as to become their "go to" coping skills in their toolbox as opposed to relapse or cross-addiction.
Remember, helping our recovering clients learn to change their thinking patterns is an on-going process. The goal is to guide them in recognizing their strengths and abilities beyond what they currently view in their struggles.
There will be setbacks and stumbling blocks along the way, but the choice to get back up and continue will always be there. Addictive thinking is not only a habit that has been learned, but it is also ingrained into the core chemical makeup of an individual. It takes practice, ongoing support, and possible mistakes and struggles to overcome personal, mental, and sometimes physical barriers that get in the way.
Cross-Addiction is a sometimes forgotten roadblock in the recovery process, as it is not often recognized as a trigger to relapse in and of itself. The nature of an individual seeking to fulfill the need left void by the substance of choice will often lead the person to seek these alternative means of soothing cravings, such that cross-addiction occurs quickly and often with little warning, as it can many times appear harmless (an extra coffee here, an energy drink there, etc.).
With appropriate support and guidance in identifying healthy coping tools that can replace the need for these faulty dopamine-supplementing agents, the brain can heal itself over time to a point that the connections can re-establish in healthy ways and good communication within the brain can happen once again.

10 Years in Service! Celebrating CEDR's First Decade
In 2006, my brother and business partner Doug Lodmell and I were sitting around brainstorming on how we could offer the kind of HR support that small to midsize healthcare practices would find valuable. That was ten years ago! We knew there was a need for the company we wanted to start, but we had no idea how much our members would inspire us to choose the direction CEDR HR Solutions would take.
We started with a product we called the Workplace Protection/Integrity Package. You may know this as the mandatory Arbitration Agreement and Confidentiality Agreement we integrate with each customized handbook. And the first lesson we learned was that employers were (and still are) misinformed and underserved when it comes to how to manage employees in compliance with employment laws.
The second lesson we learned was even more important: Employers will follow these laws if they know them. Doctors, for all your good intentions and intelligence, are not experts in HR. Suffice to say that there was a lot of misinformation out there, and very little help or sound guidance to support you.
Focusing on providing that support just made sense. In keeping with that, we added the words "In Service" to all of our email signatures early on, and I am happy to say that phrase continues to be included in what we do. It's a reminder of why you chose us, and it has had endless repercussions.
In fact, even our primary product is a result of making "supporting doctors" our number one mission. We quickly figured out that in order to be relied upon for high quality guidance, we would first need to ensure that each and every employer had a legally complaint employee handbook in place. There simply isn't any other sound basis for building or managing a great team, or for running a business.
So we made a move from being reactionary, by trying to fix the endless consequences of bad / illegal / unenforceable policies, to being proactive, and making sure each office we worked with implemented GREAT policies right out of the gate. We made it an unconditional requirement that every office we work with first allow us to create a compliant employee handbook for the practice. It puts you in the best spot, ensures that you know and are in line with the state and federal employment laws that apply to you, and allows us to solve problems with you quickly and effectively.
During those first three years, we were able to work with a couple hundred practices who felt the same way we did—meaning they had already realized that expert problem-solving that also complies with state and federal employment laws is very hard to gain access to, and that it is a great asset to the managers and owner-managers of independent medical practices.
I already knew this because I had spent the previous 18 years owning my own businesses. Having had several dozen employees at any given time, I knew that, as a business owner, it's easy to become frustrated with being an employer. It's a lonely place to be, at the end of a bad day with an employee. It's also hard to understand why one day your team can be great, and a month later they all seem to be mad as hell. And ultimately, it's very tempting to make up your own rules and punishments in order to get people to do what they are supposed to do. It even seems like the common-sense thing to do!
I've come to believe that the term "experience" is often code for having been allowed to make mistakes. We found that, more and more, employers were not being allowed to make mistakes, and that lawyers were starting to target them.
All this means I know the real management and compliance difficulties doctors are up against, and CEDR's guidance comes from that place of understanding. And I've got stories—like calls from closets!
Me: "Doctor, you sound like you are calling from a closet."
Doctor: "That's because I'm locked in my personal bathroom so my employee can't hear me. She's mad as hell and pacing outside my office and I'm alone here!" He offered me 10K to come get him out of the closet. I laughed until I realized he was semi-serious.
There have also been about five dozen calls that start with, "I know you are going to say I-told-you-so, but I skipped the background check and the reference calls, and guess what I just discovered about my new office manager?"
Quick, make a guess! Now, if you guessed any of these:
- that the OM was also a semi-famous porn star,
- or was a convicted embezzler,
- or had 7 DUI convictions,
- was not who he said he was,
- was a possible felon,
- was a convicted felon,
- was wanted by the FBI for arson, after the last office she managed mysteriously burned down,
- was fired from his last job over having an affair with three patients at the same time (while married),
- had a tattoo of Satan,
- or just let the doctor know she would need some unpaid days off due to a family emergency, which turned out to be secret code for, "under indictment for insurance fraud, and her 'time' starts next week…"
…Well, if you guessed any of these, then you probably have your own stories.
And all of the above and more are followed up with a simple plea from our member on the phone: "Can you help me deal with this?"
Our answer is almost always yes. We are yes people. And that, above all else, is what keeps me inspired. That and my own team of problem solvers.
Over these ten years, CEDR has grown from a "me" to an "us." And when your "us" includes 27+ individual high-performing professionals, it means you need to drink your own Kool Aid, so to speak. So yes, we have job descriptions, and yes, we have our own well developed employee handbook integrated into our businesses. We've learned so much from growing with our clients that I could write a book on all the cool stories, disasters, and most importantly, awesome outcomes we've been a part of over the last ten years.
In the second ten years, we are going to stay focused on our mission:
Through preventing and solving employment problems, we empower healthcare employers to build great teams.
And as we progress, you are going to start to see us share how we build our own great team right here. We are committed to delivering programs that make being an employer increasingly rewarding for you AND your employees.
There are so many early-on questions I had as an employer, like, "Why are these people [insert frustrating thing here]? Why are they doing this to me? And why do some people do their job and more, while others seem to be proud of doing just barely enough to get by?" Those questions require more of us as owners and managers—and, over the years, our own team has collected a lot more "experience" in all of these areas that we look forward to sharing with our members.
After ten years, Douglass and I are so proud of the direction CEDR HR Solutions has taken. (Little did we know, we would also need to become a software company. More on that later…) And I want you to know that I got that doctor out of his closet—and to my knowledge, he's still able to move freely about his practice.
Pardon the loud music as we celebrate over the next year. It's been an amazing experience so far, and there is much more to come.

John Jones was sitting at Catholic Charities waiting to be called to go to the Clothing Closet when a lady stepped into the lobby and asked if anyone waiting needed anything besides food or clothing.
Jones, a disabled U.S. Army veteran, had recently attained housing after three months of homelessness, but the only furniture in his apartment was a bed. He told the lady about his predicament, and she immediately began working with him to help solve the problem.

Everyone has dreams for their life. Sometimes, circumstances change those dreams, and they take a different shape. For Yozabra Harris, that dream has taken the shape of a house – her own house.
At Catholic Charities, we work with clients to help them identify their dreams and the obstacles that are standing in the way through our Driving the Dream program. Learn more about Yozabra's dream of building her own home for herself and her four sons here.
Victor Walls had been living in a men's homeless shelter for a year when he came to Catholic Charities of West Tennessee.
He didn't like living at the mission because it was so hectic and crowded. "You have to sleep on a mat on the floor," he said. A visit to Catholic Charities helped Victor change all that. Read Victor's story here.

48 Days to the Work you Love by Dan Miller: Book Review
This is a continuation of the in-depth review of the book: 48 Days to the Work You Love by Dan Miller. To read the Previous Chapter, follow this link: Chapter 3: Creating a Life Plan
Chapter 4: Wheels, Goals, and Clear Action
Chapter 4 starts off describing how some people have "sanctified ignorance". Meaning, they think God, or a course of events, will sort out life for them. If people get up each day waiting for something to happen, they'll keep living the way they are. In reality, if you want something in life, you have to go out and get it.
The rest of the chapter revolves around "The Wheel of Life". There is an illustration of a wheel with several spokes coming from the center, which looks similar to a pie chart. There are 7 pieces to the pie (try to picture a Trivial Pursuit game piece). You rate each section from 1-10. Here's how I would rate myself:
Career: 7. Obviously, I have a lot going on right now, but I have to say I am pleased with how far I've come. I graduated from college in 2004, and got a job right out of graduation (after backpacking in Europe for 3 weeks). Within 3 years I went through 2 promotions and doubled my salary. With all my job title changes, I've been able to learn the different areas of a business, from performing training and managing implementations, ensuring customer satisfaction, conducting business analysis, holding focus groups, technical writing, project and people management. My main concern is that I am learning a lot of different things, but am not focused in one particular area. I believe this may become an issue to future employers, as they are usually looking for someone with a particular specialty. My problem is, I haven't quite figured out what that is yet.
Financial: 8. I think I'm a very good saver, and I'm careful (frugal not cheap!) when it comes to spending money. I'll buy things at a reasonable quality for a reasonable price. A prime example of this is the Vizio LCD HDTV I own…Vizio is a great brand, with a quality picture at a very affordable price. Samsung and Sony's have better quality for sure, but you pay a premium for that. My current goals are to make sure I'm investing as efficiently as possible, and minimizing my fees and expenses.
Social: 7. I think I do great with friends. If it was that alone I'd probably give myself a 9. My biggest problem are awkward situations. I come across instances where I know I should do one thing, I'm thinking it over in my head, and the moment passes before I've done anything. 'During an interview, maybe I should have said this…', 'Man I should have held the door for that lady…', 'I really need to start telling people on the phone to have a good weekend on Fridays…'. I'm really bad at stuff like that, and know I need to do better, but for some reason I have trouble with it.
Family: 8. I'm great with my immediate family. I love events with extended family, (Family picnics, 4th of July parties, Christmas Eve). I guess my area of improvement is, outside of those major holidays, I rarely see the extended family. It's always good to see them, and I actually enjoy their company.
Physical: 9. I work out 3-5 times a week, I try to eat healthy and get enough sleep. I eat a little junk food here and there, but I'm probably in the best shape of my life right now. I can run a mile in under 10 minutes (sure the book talks about how some people do it in 4), and phsyically I feel more toned than ever.
Personal Development: 6. I need to do a better job at finding what it is I am good at that I can put to good use. I would like to go back to school to get my MBA. I'd like to learn as much about investing as possible. (According to the book if I read 3 books on the topic I'm an expert!) I just feel like I could always be learning. I think this post is a good start, as I plan to summarize each book I read to help me retain what I have read.
Spiritual: 6. Spirituality is a personal matter for me. I'm Roman Catholic, and a part of me would love to go to church every Sunday. However, I feel uncomfortable going by myself. I'd like to learn more about the events in the Bible so I can be educated and able to hold a conversation with someone if it ever comes up. Then maybe I'll get some of those references on the Simpsons 🙂
The chapter then focuses on people with indecision. It takes the side that one should go with their gut, and high acheivers have the ability to act quickly. I suppose it can be debated on the act of making a quick decision. The author mentions creating a process where any decision, big or small, has to be completed within a 2-week maximum time frame. The process he mentions for solving a problem is very similar to business models taught in schools, is as follows:
1. State the problem.
2. Get advice on the problem.
3. List the alternatives.
4. Choose the best alternative.
5. Act
This is how meetings should be held! The chapter ends describing the benefits of goal setting. People who are successful set goals for themselves. If you fail to set a goal, you have nothing to reach out for. A good path for goal setting is to set the goal first, and then work backwards on a plan to reach the goal. I am in agreement with this, but make sure your original goals are attainable within your timeframes. That'll make setting out the path easier.
The author mentions that he spends about 2 hours a day reading or listening to things that are self help or positive. Before reading the paper, he listens to something from Socrates, Plato, or present-day self help authors. He no longer sets an alarm clock, because he has a program where he goes to bed at a reasonable time. I thought this was sort of interesting, because about 2 months ago was the last time I've used my alarm. So far I've not slept in, and have actually been to work early on a few occasions. I'll still use it if I go to bed later than usual or need to ensure that I get up on time, but it's been working so far.
Continue to Chapter 5: Am I an Eagle or an Owl?

Brooke Franchise Corporation understands that many questions arise on the journey to owning a franchise business. Here are the questions we most frequently hear, however, we enjoy the opportunity to address specific questions, please contact us with questions.
What is a franchise?
A franchise is an agreement between a company and another party in which the company provides the other party with the right to use the firm's name and sell or rent its products.
What is franchising?
Franchising involves two parties; the franchisor who owns the product or services offered and the franchisee who purchases the trademark rights to own their business under the name of the franchisor. Franchising offers the freedom to exercise the powers of a corporation through the operation of one's own business.
Why franchise?
Franchising enables business owners to sell products or services with trusted brand recognition. At Brooke, franchisees also have access to various support services including location research, access to capital, start-up assistance, marketing assistance, training, management advice and the foundation of an established corporation.
What are the rewards of franchising?
The franchisor has a proven the business model, offers training, enables licensed agents to establish their own business with little experience.
How does Brooke help convert your business to a franchise?
We offer capital for acquisition and expansion, public relations services, payroll processing, marketing assistance, training, management assistance and also administer the transition of office operational services.
Why is the Internet important to my business?
As a Brooke franchisee, the contact information for all agents is listed by state on Brooke's consumer site, brookeagency.com. Beyond that, all agents have the option to establish a web site for their own agency through the domain name brookeagency.com. Although the Internet is a tool which must considered in all business plans, Brooke believes that the nature of insurance sales typically requires that internet leads be supplemented with personal contact by sales professionals.
Why should I franchise vs. start my own business?
According to the Department of Commerce, 90% of new businesses fail each year. Our franchisees have a higher rate of success due to the brand name and reputation behind our products and services.
What should I consider before buying a franchise?
Review the Uniform Franchise Offering Circular of the franchisor. Research the level of experience required to own and operate a business, evaluate the business you plan to buy as well as the time commitment you can invest in the business, research the franchisors failures and successes, compare the franchisor to others, understand the terms and conditions of the contract and review the financial condition of the franchisor.
How do you explain the success rate for a franchised business?
When establishing a business plan, a franchisee should consider both the support from the franchisor combined with the dedication and hard work needed to construct a blueprint for successful business.

The Greatest story ever lip-synched
The Milli Vanilli story, a tale of how two men were taken from obscurity to fame and then to opprobrium is to be made into a Universal Pictures film according to yesterday's Guardian . The screenplay is being written by Jeff Nathanson, whose credits include Catch Me If You Can is quoted as saying "I've always been fascinated by fakes and frauds, and in this case you had guys who pulled off the ultimate con, selling 30 million singles and then becoming the biggest laughing stocks of pop,"
Milli Vanilli was assembled by German producer Frank Farian (he was also responsible for Boney M) to provide a formulaic mix of, rap and soul to fleece, er I mean appeal to, a teen audience. He brought in Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus to lip-synch over the voices of vocalists Brad Howell and Charles Shaw. It was a successful formula that produced three US number one singles and a debut album that sold six million copies.
When Morvan and Pilatus started pressurising Farian to let them sing real vocals, he blew the whistle on them by revealing that they had never sung on any of their records. The band was stripped of its Grammy - the first act ever to suffer such ignominy. An album of their real singing as Rob & Fab sold just 2,000 copies. Pilatus died of a drug overdose in 1998.
I was brought up on a diet of new wave and heavy metal so why on earth am I posting an item about Milli-bloody-vanilli? To be honest I feel a little sorry for them (honest!). While it is inevitable that the truth would have come out at some stage who was the real villain? Pilatus and Morvan or Farian?
I can state, however, that this will be my first and last post on the subject of Milli Vanilli!

Didn't Milli Vanilli also attempt to re-introduce the codpiece as a must-have fashion accessory?

Milli Vanilli is not a good site early in the morning. However, you could have done far worse and wrote about Vanilla Ice.
I was on a date with a stunning Polish woman who arrived in the country less than two months. She visited me on the job and noticed one of my peers is called Vanilla Ice. Without pausing she said " Vanilla Ice Sucks". It seems even in countries that do not speak English this fact is out.

VBeakerkin, Vanilla Ice? My god I do have standards you know!

I have to confess that their fan mail was handled by a company in San Diego, and that company hired me to write the software that managed the membership of their fan club.
If you wrote you received a package that included a glossy photograph of those frauds.
I would certainly hope that the database was destroyed to prevent future embarrassment to the deluded souls whose names were recorded.

I was a newly minted teen when they first hit the scene. I didn't care for the way they postured and preened. It may sound callous and a little mean but I was glad when they were exposed as liars and fiends. Their success and profits were obscene for two faker supremes.
I kind of liked the guy that OD'ed though. He had stunning green eyes which really stood out in contrast to his skin. They were nice to look at, nothing more. That's probably why I watched their videos while on mute function.

- jams o donnell said...
The mute button? now that WAS a great way to watch them.. and New Kids on the Block? and Tiffany? and Debbie Gibson?
On the other hand you have to hand it to Debbie Gibson.. she did perform with teh Circle Jerks!
In my view the real villain is the procuder Farian. He would have made the big bucks, certainly if he held the publishing rights

A Fun Weekend in Oklahoma City- my 50th State!
This weekend was a big one for me- accomplishing the big goal of visiting all 50 Unites States! The last state on my list was Oklahoma. Having no other reason to visit the state I picked a weekend with an inexpensive non-stop flight and an Oklahoma City Thunder NBA game.
The Thunder versus Celtics was also my first NBA game- another bucket list item. A productive and fun weekend adventure for sure. Friday night after arriving, I hit up Stub Hub and ended up sitting in the very last row of Chesapeake Arena (because NBA tickets are $$$!) but on the sideline so I could see everything.
The Thunder was ahead by 20 but blew their lead in the second half to lose to the Celtics. It was a fun little Friday night with a local OKC beer and some sports.
The next morning was a gorgeous one. It was sunny and the high was around 75 degrees- perfect for a walk in my 50th state. I started the morning off at the solemn Oklahoma City National Memorial, the site of the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 where 168 people lost their lives at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building.
The Oklahoma City Memorial Park is a gorgeous sanctuary for reflection but also an emotional one. I held back tears a few times reading the signs of loved ones lost. Where the federal building once stood is a chair in the grass for every life lost.
Quite a few people were at the memorial and the adjoining museum on this Saturday morning.
After visiting such a profoundly somber spot I needed a little pick me up. I consulted with Google and Yelp and found Waffle Champion in the Plaza Court District.
The line was out the door and around the corner but I figured it must be worth it if this many people were waiting for waffles.
I was so glad I waited because this was the best lunch/breakfast/brunch I've had in a long time. The chicken and waffle breakfast sandwich was amazing. Drowned in maple syrup by me (I love maple syrup!) the sweet and salty combination was amazing. The waffles fries were even better, seasoned with garlic and parsley, dipped in garlic aioli. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up!
Unfortunately this weekend I was also sick as a dog with the worst sinus infection/cold/cough combination. Watching Iowa beat Ohio State at football from my hotel couch was my preferred method of rest.
If anything can make me rally it is delicious food. The famous Cattlemen's Steakhouse has been open for over 100 years and featured on so many Travel Channel and Food Network shows. They are famous for their steaks and lamb fries (testicles) but I wasn't that hungry for so much (and lamb fries did not sound appetizing) so the petite filet mignon which comes wrapped in bacon was my pick.
The meat was so tender and tasty.
On Sunday morning the weather was amazing once again so I took a 5 mile walk around the Oklahoma River. The only reason why I walked 5 miles was because I got lost. Oops! It was really pretty so if you are going to get lost anywhere, here is a good place to do it.
The trail starts off at the Oklahoma Land Run Monument commemorating the Oklahoma Land Run of 1889, and weaves around the Bricktown Canal and Oklahoma River.
The runner is me (at least when I'm not super-sick) would have loved running this trail.The scenery keeps in interesting and long stretches of paved trail make the miles go fast.
My time in Oklahoma City was fun and I was so lucky for the incredible weather in November. Now that I've been to all 50 United States, I'll have to come up with some new travel goals for next year!
Reader Question: How many states have you been to? Any desire to get to all 50?

Scouting Alfred State:
- Last Week: The football team pushed the ball all the way down to the Gallaudet 31 in the closing seconds but could not score as they lost a tight 13-9 contest in the nation's capital. Carter Harman passed for 161 yards in his first collegiate start. Jalen Long caught three passes for 79 yards and Darrius Nichols had three catches (one for a score) for 54 yards. Ronnie Clark rushed for 52 yards on the day. Michael Zimmerman continued his solid junior campaign with a game high 14 tackles (nine solo). Brockton Weist had nine tackles and Adam Bellaus had eight tackles and a pair of sacks.
- The Pioneers defense held Gallaudet to just 13 points last week while the special teams came up with two blocked kicks (punt and field goal).
- Carter Harman made his first start at quarterback and threw his first career touchdown last week. His development will be key this week vs. a defense that is allowing over nearly 39 points a game.
- The AMCATS have thrown 17 interceptions this year so the Pioneers defensive backfield led by Michael Zimmerman and Austin Parker will be key. Winning the turnover battle and scoring off turnovers will be another key to victory.
- Jalen Long caught three more passes for 79 yards last week and is creeping towards the 1,000 yard milestone. He is up to 857 yards on 48 receptions on the year. He also leads the team with six touchdowns.
- In last year's meeting, Anna Maria jumped out to a big lead, 30-7, and the Pioneers rally fell just short. Kiegan Brown had a career day finishing with 235 yards and three scores on 36 carries while Jalen Long caught four passes for 78 yards. Brandon Davis led the Pioneers with seven tackles while John Lauretti made six tackles (two for a loss).
- Prior to the game the Pioneers will honor seniors playing in their final home game at Alfred State - Giovanni Jean, Learoy Smith, Reshard Love, Austin Parker, Owen Davis, Brandon Davis, Ryan Shipher, Justin Reid-Espinal, John Lauretti, Jevon Jeremy, Brandon Ellers, and Joe Moscato.
Scouting Anna Maria:
- Last Week: The AMCATS fell 14-7 in strong winds and pouring rain to Maritime last weekend. Alex Cohen passed for 134 yards and ran the ball 16 times for 29 yards and a 2-yard touchdown. Vincent Marrone led the team in yards on the ground with 39 on 14 carries. James Cavallo and Marcelino Da Veiga both had three receptions apiece. Cavallo had a 28-yard reception for a long and he totaled 52 yards on the day. Da Veiga had 49 yards on the day receiving with a 45 yarder for a long. Nedrion Payne (Warterbury, Conn.) compiled nine tackles on the day including a forced fumble. He was closely followed by Jude Sampson and Kai Nero-Clark as they both ended the game with eight tackles apiece.
- Freshman quarterback Alex Cohen has saw action in all eight games. He has passed for 1,173 yards and eight scores. His favorite target is Marcelino Da Veiga who has 30 receptions (five scores) and 448 yards. Cohen has also rushed the ball 89 times and has scored all three of the AMCATS rushing touchdowns on the season.
- Jalin Hudson leads the rushing attack with 318 yards on 91 carries.
- Aiden Folster leads the defense with 62 tackles while Carl St. Paul has recorded 52. The team has recorded only five sacks led by Kai Nero-Clark's 1.5.
- The AMCATS are converting 36% of their 3rd downs, have 615 penalty yards, and have only been in the red zone ten times this season.

Super Eagles gaffer Gernot Rohr is likely to drop some regulars in the team ahead of the AFCON Qualifiers against Seychelles on the 8th of September.
Rohr has been in Europe monitoring players he planned to invite for the game and is now set to name his squad list for the game two weeks before then.
Kelechi Nwakali could be recalled while Tyronne Ebuehi and John Obi Mikel are likely to be dropped due to injuries.

- Abstract:
- Cut welding is a newly developed cold pressure welding process. In the present work, an experimental investigation was carried out analyzing the mechanisms involved in cut welding of a block to a strip. Experiments were carried out in technically pure aluminium. The investigation has involved tensile testing and metallographic investigations of the welds. The results show that this variant of cut welding is a very reproducible process giving a weld strength equal to 30-40% the strength of the parent material. The experiments have shown that the reason for this relatively low strength is an uneven pressure distribution along the weld due to a wave formed during sliding. Attempts to alter the material flow during sliding are presented.
