Waste Partnership Realises Saving
Waste Partnership realises saving from using EPIC changeable graphics
West Sussex Waste Partnership has installed the EPIC changeable graphic system across all its Borough Council refuse fleet and is already realising the time and budget savings that this is affording them. Following a long-standing relationship with three Boroughs within the area, West Sussex County Council decided to extend this to the remaining three councils allowing them to increase the reach of their recycling message to residents.
Chichester District Council, Crawley Borough Council and Arun District Council have been EPIC customers for a number years and have now been joined by Adur & Worthing, Horsham and Mid Sussex District Council. From one set of artwork, EPIC have worked with each individual depot to secure a fitting schedule that works around weekly collections and reduces downtime and inconvenience. The Partnership have benefited from a single point of contact within EPIC that has project managed the whole process; offering cost savings for bulk buying of frame and graphics.
Speaking on the installation of the frame and graphics; Joy Dyson, Waste Prevention and Education Officer at Mid Sussex District Council said "We had considered Agrippa, but West Sussex County Council recommended EPIC and reported they worked well. Fitting has been quick and efficient, we have already done the 1st changeover of some graphics and that went smoothly".
Kevin Murton, EPIC Managing Director added "By having one central point of contact, the Waste Partnership are able to leave the hard work to us; we take the artwork and fit it to all vehicles in all locations, project managing the entire process and ensuring best use of everyone's time and skills." He continued "We have worked with several waste partnerships up and down the Country and all have seen both time and budget savings from working with one supplier".

Perfect-The Rise and Fall of John Paciorek
Success is fleeting. For some people it is faster than others. Some players it lasts twenty years and for others it can only be one day. No matter its length of time, it will eventually vanish, and all you are left with is memories. For John Paciorek the game of baseball allowed him one day of immortality and generated hopes of long-range success. That grand success was never to be, but now there is a book that lets readers take a glimpse of the one game wonder that finished with a perfect career.
John Paciorek was a hometown hero. Brought forth from a family of standout athletes, he showed the promise of greatness on high school teams that garnered the attention of the Houston Colt 45's. In today's game Paciorek would be considered a can't miss prospect and all sorts of attention would be paid to him to make sure he had an All-Star career. Due to a series of back problems an All-Star career was not in the cards for Paciorek, but he did get to play in one single game for the Colt 45's in 1963 and went a perfect 3 for 3 at the plate. This feat was something that had never happened before or since and left the slugger with a perfect 1.000 career batting average. It was a game that left John with the distinction of the only payer with more than one at bat in the major leagues to have a perfect career batting average. That officially makes him the answer to a trivia question.
Author Steven K.Wagner has undertaken the task of sharing John Paciorek's career story with the whole world. He covers his humble upbringings in Michigan, through his high school years highlights. You see a complete picture of the background and values of the local star athlete. Next you see John's progression through the minor leagues and his eventual call up to the Colt 45's. That brief stint with the Colts leads to one game in which John takes the field. The book takes in-depth analysis of the one game John played in and shows how every single event transpired that day. It also unfortunately shows how things did not work out in John's career after that great game. A nice portion of the book shows John's life after baseball and what you find is a man who is at peace with the hand he was dealt in life. Paciorek does not seem bitter at all, especially as one might think he would after his brother Tom had a successful major league career for several years.
It is a good book for all readers who like to learn about obscurity in baseball. It is well written and tells the complete story of both the man and the player, and allows John to become more than just a footnote in baseball history. Books like this I feel are necessary so that we don't lose the minor things to the passage of time in our sport. He will always be that trivia question answer, but now we are able to understand his full story.
You can get this book from the nice folks at Breakaway Books
Happy Reading

Struggling With Internet Marketing? Try These Tips!
If you create sites with strong content that also incorporate web marketing ads, then the traffic you generate will create substantial profits for your business. This article will show you how to grow your affiliate site and make it thrive.
You want to be completely honest about this. Tell visitors exactly what your policy is. And make sure your partners are also transparent about it. This can be annoying to readers. You could possibly spread viruses or break the customer tracking chains.
When researching affiliate promotion programs, learn how the company handles the commissions for orders, especially those that aren't handled through their website. Sales completed by phone or postal service should be connected to your affiliate number, to ensure you are paid for them.
Always disclose when you are using web marketing and see how it affects your readers and visitors in a positive manner. With web marketing, always strive to be honest. Explaining the reasons behind affiliate marketing instills trust in your judgment with your customers.
Make sure to go into partnerships with affiliates who offer the products and services you're looking to sell. You can diversify your income sources if you connect with a wide range of networks. Thoroughly investigate the reputation and past performance of any affiliate before signing on the dotted line.
Many people in the internet marketing world try to work to hard to become "superb" affiliates. Do not do too much, you will wear yourself out. Keep in mind that there is no such thing as maximum results in web marketing. Taking your time and implementing the right approach for you is always the best way to go.
Be sure to inquire about payment options different affiliate companies use. There are companies that will only send you your money after you have earned a specific amount; however, other companies give you access to your bank via e-wallet features such as AlertPay and PayPal.
It is inevitable that some affiliate websites will be much better then others. Certain ones can be bothersome or discouraging to maneuver through. Of course, this is not the best case scenario; however, a website owner who is proactive won't allow an affiliate website with a poor design to stand in the way of making a profit. It's not only helpful but creates trust and motivates purchases.
When evaluating potential affiliate partners, you should approach the task with a well-defined understanding of your target market. This will get you more visitors and tell your readers that you are an expert and know what products they are likely to buy.
Take advantage of affiliate marketing to better promote your business on the Internet. These programs generate high levels of traffic. You need to consider a few attributes of a program you are thinking of selecting. Such attributes include how much money you are likely to receive when forwarding visitors and also how popular the program actually is.
It is very possible to generate substantial profits from online marketing, though in-depth knowledge is critical if you are to achieve real success. It is best to have your site rank as high as possible with the search engines. Doing so will net you prestigious affiliate links and greater revenue.
Knowing real time statistics is incredibly important. This kind of reporting lets you see exactly how many visitors you have had, at what time, and whether or not they made any purchases.
Attach a deadline to buying particular affiliate products to encourage customers to buy now. A deadline puts a little pressure on would-be customers, giving some of them the gentle prod they need to make a decision and buy. It can be an effective strategy to generate more sales.
You should reveal your affiliate position to your website visitors right up front. Your audience will be much more receptive to your affiliate links if you're honest about their purpose.
Revamp your review of the product you are selling through internet marketing. this should include the use of videos, photos, and repurposing the item if possible. These will help people see how great the product is and convince them to buy one. When you make your review specific you can target customers who want to know more.
Using a lot of backlinks related to your site is a vital part in affiliate promotion, but be sure not to lead customers to deceptive content. If your link reads "Amazon Kindles", visitors aren't going to want to click it and land on a page selling MP3 players. This mismatch between the content of the advertising and the content of your site will turn off potential customers.
Use pop-under ads instead of pop-up ads. Blocking for pop-ups is a common tool in browsers, which means no visibility anyway. Pop-under adds have been proven to be more effective than their more audacious pop-up cousins.
By being a satisfied customer of your own product you can easily gain your advertising credibility. Positively reviewing products or highlighting their uses in articles can be a very effective way to demonstrate their value. You can leave product testimonials on chat forums and social media networks. Putting an affiliate link on your website gives customers easier access to purchase from you.
Not all programs that offer 100% commission are scams. Make sure to read its fine print before rejecting it as a scam. Many companies that offer 100% commission do so because they only pay you on the upfront salem and they keep all of the subscription profits for themselves. These may still benefit you so look closer when you see an offer such as this.
Not only is internet marketing rewarding because of the money involved, but also because it helps your website evolve to become a serious asset to your business. However, please note that in order for you to succeed, you will need to come up with unique and relevant content which sets you apart from all the other sites. Be successful within the online market by writing quality content.

The symbol of peace, the peace sign, is 60 years old this year (2018).
It could be seen on VW mini-buses and other vehicles of the Hippie generation, on the helmets of some soldiers in Vietnam, at Woodstock, and many other places. Sixty years ago Gerald Holtom from Britain created this, the world's best known symbol. The circle and the three lines since stand for peace and reconciliation even though the inspiration itself comes from British military "language".
Certain groups, especially so-called evangelical, and born-again, Christians claimed and still claim that this symbol was and is the sign of the Antichrist as it is an upside down broken cross. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The British graphic designer and artist Gerald Holtom created this emblem in 1958 on behalf of the British Anti-Nuclear War Initiative who were looking for a suitable emblem for a protest march. On February 21 of that year Holtom presented his scetches.
Later the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) which had grown out of the Initiative and other similar organizations this emblem as their logo. That's why in Britain this symbol is also called the CND-symbol.
With Holtom's sympol on their banners peace activists marched from Good Friday to Easter Sunday 1958 from London to the nuclear weapons facility at Aldermaston in order to protest for peace and reconciliation and against all manner of war, nuclear especially.
The idea for the symbol Hortom took from the sign language of the military, namely flag semaphore alphabet of the Navy which is used to communicate ship to shore, and shore to ship, as well as ship to ship, my means of flags. Each letter is represented by a specific way in which the flags are being held. Holtom worked during the Second World War on the Norfolk coast and had learned this communications medium. For the peace symbol he used the two letters N and D for "Nuclear" and "Disarmament". The two letters, superimposed upon each other, for the symbolic chicken foot, with the circle representing the Earth.
In a later explanation as to how he came upon the symbol be had a different story, possibly trying to distance himself from the military-based alphabet employed.
As Holtom did deliberately not copyrighted his design it has traveled the world, basically, and is being used all across the world as a symbol for peace and against war. It is, nowadays, also being found not just in anti-nuclear war and anti-war protests in general but also at many other demonstrations for a variety of related issues.
Aside from this sign there are a couple of other "peace signs" and probably the oldest and best-known is the stylized white dove with (or without) the olive branch. Already in the story about the Flood in the Bible, on European coins in the 17th century and in fairy-tales the white dove takes the role of the messenger of good news or of peace. After Pablo Picasso in 1949 put the white dove onto a poster for the Paris Peace Conference it became symbol for peace.

Paris Saint-Germain want to bring Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar to the French capital this summer, according to Corriere dello Sport.
There is heavy speculation surrounding the futures of PSG's strike duo of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani – both players have been tipped to leave this summer – and Al-Khelaifi has lined up two world-class replacements for the French champions.
He wants to land both Ronaldo and Neymar, who have been linked with PSG several times over the past year.
In addition, it is reported that Ronaldo, 31, would be offered a relatively short-term deal before heading to the MLS or China, while Neymar would be tied down on a long-term contract.

|Summary, etc.:
|"Aspiring chef Cade Maxwell is immediately, viscerally attracted to Winter Jacobson. But it's not her mouthwatering curves he's drawn to--it's the strange emptiness in her eyes. When Cade saves her from a drunken customer with grabby hands, he's shocked at her response... Winter doesn't need Cade's help. After a lifetime of getting by on her own, she's happy to rely on herself. She's exactly seventy-six days away from graduating college, and if she can hold it together that long, she'll finally be able to rise above the crappy hand she was dealt. But now, every time she turns around, Cade is there, ready to push her, smile at her, distract her from her plans. Winter knows she can't afford to open up--especially to a man she's terrified to actually want.."--
ReviewsAuthor Notes
- Booklist Reviews : Booklist Reviews 2014 November #1
*Starred Review* Bounced around the foster care system as a child, Winter doesn't allow herself to rely on or get close to anyone because she knows he or she will only let her down. With only 76 days to go before she graduates college, she meets aspiring chef Cade when he stops a customer who gets hands-on in the bar/restaurant where she works. Winter doesn't appreciate Cade's coming to her rescue, especially when the table leaves her a 17-cent tip and she is stuck figuring out how to make her rent. Cade falls hard, but it takes a lot to melt Winter's heart. Cade is HOT, and his tattoos and piercings make him look tough, but underneath he is a marshmallow with a motorcycle. Cade is also struggling; his father died when he was only 10, and his mother lost her battle with breast cancer just a couple of years ago. Cade has been helping his younger sister take care of her daughter while he attends culinary school, putting everything else on the back burner. The slow build of Winter and Cade's relationship is satisfying and real. Walsh's debut raises the bar for NA books and will leave readers hungry for more. Copyright 2014 Booklist Reviews.
Brighton Walsh, author of Plus One and Season of Second Chances, spent nearly a decade as a professional photographer before deciding to take her storytelling in a different direction and reconnect with her first love: writing. When she's not pounding away at the keyboard, she's probably either reading or shopping—maybe even both at once. She lives in the Midwest with her husband and two children, and, yes, she considers forty degrees to be hoodie weather. Her home is the setting for frequent dance parties, Lego battles, and more laughter than she thought possible.

Wednesday of Holy Week
(Isaiah 50:4-9a; Matthew 26:14-25)
Humiliation seldom sinks lower than to be spit upon in the face. Spittle may transmit infectious germs. More than that, spitting is a universal sign of contempt. The Book of Deuteronomy instructs a widow whose brother-in-law will not fulfill his obligation to marry her for the sake of his dead brother to "spit in his face" (Deut. 25:9). The action is meant to show that the man is like selfish, low-lying scum.
In the first reading today the Suffering Servant speaks of giving his face to be spit upon. Conscious of how Jesus fulfills the prophecy of this servant, Matthew's passion narrative underscores how both Jews and Romans spit upon him. Although the gospel does not accuse Judas of spitting in Jesus' face, it plainly shows that Judas' behavior is tantamount to such disgrace. He insults Jesus by calling him "Rabbi," a title which Jesus expressly forbade his followers to use. More gravely, he hands Jesus over to his enemies for silver.
Jesus' humiliation in Matthew's passion narrative is part of the price that he pays for human disobedience. Only perfect obedience could heal the fracture between God and humanity related in the story of Adam and Eve's sin and reflected in our sins. Jesus carries out God's will – that he be handed over to his enemies -- which causes him to suffer extreme humiliation, intense pain, and finally brutal death. For this sacrifice he deserves more than our thanks and admiration. He merits our imitation and allegiance.

Here is a presentation of her images, followed by photos taken throughout the event. Enjoy!
There are a number of incredibly constructed buildings, including two treehouses, a cube house, a tipi, a small chalet, and a large communal chalet.
You can walk around through the forest, relax by the fire, play on the outdoor playground or hang out inside one of the incredible houses or inside the large chalet. If you're looking to get away for a few days, this would be a great place to do it.
I had the luxury of going with a group of my friends for the weekend. We rented the entire campgrounds and had an incredible adventure. Here is a small collection of photos I captured during our time together.
And if you're looking for some lifestyle photography of your own, invite me along on your next adventure and I would be more than happy to document your experiences with you.
ECOLE is a sustainability project at McGill, an active practice of Co-Living and your sustainability community hub! In this series of images, they lift their arms to present their projects to an appreciative audience.
After the incredible Open Mind Festival, Pomme, Ginger and myself found ourselves a ride towards the Rainbow Gathering in Gaspesie. Here are some of the captures along the way.

Hi Efuryone its me Harry
Boss has asked if she can hi-jack my blog again today. So I has given her pawmission upon payment of a gravy bone and will now hand ofur to her while I go and has a snooze…………………
Hi everyone its me the boss also know as Heather
I wrote a blog in April this year explaining about my illness and how Harry has helped me through from day one and how our relationship has been the most amazing I have ever had with a dog. He truly is my rock. Anyway, as most of you know I have been having all sorts of tests of late and Harry, in only the way Harry can be, has been keeping you all pupdated, his word not mine, with whats been happening and if my brain truly is half dog. I have SLE Lupus, ITP and now I have significant impairment (consultants words not mine I am still trying to work out what the significant bit is) of my frontal lobe (memory, tracking) which is currently under investigation.
Firstly, I wanted to say thanks for all the kind words of support we have received often from people who are battling illnesses themselves on a daily basis. I have also had messages of concern as to why Harry is not around as much as he used to be which is one of the things that has prompted me to write this blog. Another reason for writing is that I have so many friends that sometimes don't know how best to help me or support me or sometimes wires get crossed. Now don't get me wrong it's not their fault at all it is just well lets say my brain does not quite function as it once did! I think half the problem is I look well and cover things too well and having spent this morning totally overwhelmed by lots of things and in tears and having my boy Harry come over and sit with me head on my lap licking away my tears I thought to myself I came up with a plan. Write it down, take your time and explain as best you can to everyone at once what it is like to be me. So here we go I hope I don't bore you too much and for those of you who needed and asked for this over the last months sorry it took me so long!
A typical day
A typical day for me is this………
- Wake up early probably only having had on average 4 hours sleep.
- Catch up on a few things like Twitter and FB but generally I will have been doing that through the night.
- Try to remember what I did the night or day before. Now I don't mean that I forget totally I have some memories there they are just in a kind of jumbled up mess. I also have the added issue of not remembering feelings. I know something was fun or sad or exciting its just my body and heart and head has forgotten. I sometimes try to do those fun things again so I get that feeling back but that is not always possible and that makes me sad. I find that I am at my quietest sometimes in the morning because the sadness is overwhelming of having lost valuable important life experiences that I will never get back. Its a real shit. (sorry for swearing)
- Sometimes I may seem angry or moody in the mornings too. Again that is me being totally cheesed of because by now my brain is working overtime trying and trying to see if I can just once get that feeling and memory back of even just someone holding my hand. It never does.
- Once I have dragged my sorry backside out of bed having had the obligatory cuddles from Harry who asks no questions, does not wonder why I am in a sad mood, crying or a bit quiet I have a shower. Showering used to be an interesting experience for me for a number of reasons. Firstly, did I wash my hair. I kid you not I must have had the cleanest hair in the world. Did I use conditioner. Again the softest hair in the world. Did I really just use shampoo to wash myself. And on and on and on. Its exhausting. I have now put things in place to stop this cycle. However, sometimes I lose total track of time and end up a bit wrinkly. Another reason I no longer have baths.
- So get dressed that's easy enough I tend to stick to fairly the same things these days boring but less stressful.
- Take my pills. Oh yes I take tablets have done for 2 years 5 months but do I remember oh nooooooooo. Now someone said to me recently "you have taken tablets everyday for over two years how do you forget to take them" simple answer, I have no recollection of taking them the day before. Scary! So taking tablets everyday is almost like a new experience for me. Why not put hem in a pill box each week marked with the days I hear you cry. Because I would need to remember that I take tablets and then I would need to remember that I need to check the box for the days of the week. Even if they are on the side next to me my brain does not register. Very bizarre. Guess what…… *runs off to take tablets*
- Now leaving the house takes a while and often than not I end up driving home once because I have forgotten something. On Wednesdays is our bin day I am responsible (stop sniggering) for taking the bins to the end of the drive. Yep you got it the bins have been to work with me on numerous occasions. EVEN if I have them on the back seat.
- We will skip work but I will say even though I am self employed I have the most amazing support from the people I work for.
- Get home and catch up with the family and how their day has been. Have some food walk the Harry and his furblings and settle down for the evening. Now most of you will watch TV I don't well not all the time. I find it difficult to follow programs. Sometimes I need a program explaining to me even if its a series because I have no recollection of the characters, plot or story-line. I get frustrated and upset and pissed off with myself it is infuriating and again exhausting.
- Then off to bed with Harry and Maggie in tow for my 3-4 hours sleep and wake up and do it all again.
Talking it through
Talking is good. Yes talking is very good I used to be a great talker. I would want to discuss everything to death. These days my brain struggles a bit. It's not an excuse for not wanting to talk about things I just sometimes can't. My last session with my consultant was about trying to verbalise things again. Stupidly I forgot to tell anyone. Telling people may have helped recently if people knew I struggled with that and when I look like I am going to say something important or inspiring or deep or stupid I don't, not because I don't want to but because my brain does not send the message to my gob. I get embarrassed by that part a lot. so to the person who experienced that recently sorry you know who you are.
So, I write things down like doing this blog. Ok, so it has taken me 5 hours to do so far but at least I am doing it.
Other Stuff
- I struggle to find words sometimes. If I am struggling chip in it helps
- I sometimes forget to feed Harry. He is so good as he waits ages before starting to chew my leg because he is hungry!
- Harry knows me so well that he very often still tells me if my platelets are low or if I am not quite myself. He will be like a shadow around me and will be soft and gentle with me.
- Harry keeps me sane in a way. He is so mischievous he does all the things I would love to do like jumping in the pond. Sometimes I just roll around on the grass with him and yes it is great fun.
- Harry gives me the ability to be "me" again. He does not ask questions or make demands or say "oh I do that" he accepts me for who I now am. He has not had to learn to adapt or "get his head round it" he has just gone with it treating me with the same love and respect. Aren't dogs truly amazing.
Why oh why did you plan Woofstock UK?
Now there is a question! I sometimes ask myself the same question. As if life was not complicated and busy enough I go and plan a massive festival for dogs 117 miles away from where I live and pour every penny I have into it knowing it's a huge risk. Simple answer, I love dogs, I love my dogs and I want to thank all the dogs out there for being the most amazing creatures on this earth. Sad answer, I don't know what I will be like this time next year. I could be the same I could be worse I know I won't be better. My memory and ability to do things could get progressively worse. Hey, when your consultant says he is astounded that I am still working and I have a significant disability you kind of think to yourself wow that serious? Then you do what I do and forget that moment and how it felt and how scared you were. It's a blessing and a curse. So I want to make an impact and do something crazy and amazing, meaningful and important just once. I may do it twice or three times or four times but if I am to do it just once then Woofstock UK is it. A legacy to honour my best friend Harry and all he has done for me. To give people an opportunity to come together and meet new friends, old friends and people they have never met but have tweeted with and face booked with for years. I want to look back for as long as I can and say "I did that, we did that"
So there you have it folks. Sorry for pouring my heart out to you all but it felt like the right time. Woofstock UK is close and I look forward to seeing you all there. Come find me and Harry. Don't be shy and give us both a hug. It would also be great if you could help me promote Woofstock UK so we can raise loads of money for the charities. If you are interested in helping then email firstname.lastname@example.com we would love to hear from you. If you just want to know more about it go here www.woofstockuk.co.uk
Stay safe, Harry sends his wuv and I send you mine too.

Coo Lake Understory Prescribe Burn
Fire fighters made good use of the weather window over the past four days and managed good consumption of hazardous fuels on three prescribed burn units. These units will be monitored. As holding action, crews may ignite pockets of unburned fuels within the boundaries so people may continue to see and smell smoke near the burns. Fire managers will continue to watch for opportunities this fall. If warmer, drier weather returns these units may be revisited or other units may be addressed.
- Coo Lake North, T63N, R13W, S20, is 19 acres, is on a peninsula on the western edge of Burntside Lake. This unit was ignited yesterday. There was good consumption of hazardous fuels. The result of this burn will be a mosaic of species and ages of vegetation with some openings allowing blueberries and pine seedlings to grow. A crew is already on scene today. Pockets of unburned fuel may be ignited over the next several days as holding actions and to complete fuel reduction.
- Bear Island Island Unit, T61N, R13W, S10, 121 acres, is the large island in the center of Bear Island Lake. This unit was ignited on Friday. Pockets of fuel continued to ignite under stronger winds on Saturday. Firing tactics were designed to protect mature pines in the center and consume hazardous fuels. Some individual torching of pines occurred but pines remain to re-seed the island. Fuel reduction on this island will help to slow or even stop a wildfire from threatening nearby homes.
- Pine Ridge Unit, T65N, R16W, S1, 90 acres, is north of the Echo Trail and west of Jeanette Lake. About half of this unit was ignited yesterday before rain swept in, but fire cleaned up some holding lines for future burns.
- Kangas Burn Unit, T61N, R12W, S14, 99 acres, is south of the Blueberry Lake Road (St. Louis County Road 120) off the Birch Lake Road, south of Little Lake. The purpose of this burn is to re-establish moose habitat. The short window of burning weather forced fire managers to set this unit aside for a future opportunity, perhaps even later this fall if the right weather develops.
Any one of these sites may be re-visited with a prescribed burn within the next several years to continue clean-up and encourage the comeback of desired species. For more information, contact Becca Manlove, Information Officer, Kawishiwi Ranger District, 218-365-2093.

Being Honest About Who I Am
Selcan is a Data Entry Specialist in Istanbul, Turkey. She joined Nielsen in 2018 as an openly transgender woman and is an active member of PRIDE, our LGBTQ+ & Allies employee resource group.
Hi, I'm Selcan.
I'd like to tell you about my journey working as a transgender woman and how Nielsen is different from other corporations. But first, I'll begin with my life before Nielsen.
I started my career at a very young age in order to support my family financially, and I found a place in the IT industry. After a year of end-user support, I landed my first professional job at a top consumer goods corporation in Turkey while I was still in high school. I proved to be a quick learner and knew I could go further in my career, so I invested in my future by taking the exams required to become a certified IT professional. At the same time, I also passed the university entrance exam and started my education at Istanbul University. All that hard work paid off and I became an IT professional, helping me land jobs at major global corporations.
But I wasn't being my authentic self at work and I was unhappy. Imagine yourself in my place: Would hiding who you are make you feel happy? No, it's the exact opposite. In fact, it may be one of the worst things a person can experience. I wasn't comfortable coming out as transgender at work at the time, so I decided to quit my job in IT that I'd worked so hard to get. I gave it all up to be able to be my authentic self and continue my transition journey.
Of course, I couldn't live as an unemployed person for long. However, when you are transgender, it's very challenging to find a job or to even get an interview with a head hunter, no matter how well experienced, qualified or highly skilled you are. So as a professional IT problem solver with almost eight years of experience, I had another big "problem" to solve.
I took a different approach to tackling that problem, and made a bold decision to come out as a transgender person on the first page of my resume. By doing that, I hoped to prevent any incidents and avoid wasting my time talking to companies that wouldn't accept me. As it turned out, showing my vulnerability and being honest about who I am actually helped me. I received four different offers! I chose Nielsen because of its diversity and inclusion efforts, which support open discussions about gender and sexuality.
Now, it's been about a year since I started at Nielsen, and I already feel like I have found my family! Compared with my previous workplaces, Nielsen really stands out. I don't say this lightly, as I've experienced the other side of the coin firsthand: At one company, I decided to meet with HR before coming out as transgender more widely to colleagues. There, I was told that being an LGBTQ person was a mental illness, and the local HR team concluded that I couldn't work there unless I wore men's clothes. That company failed me, and it was nearly impossible to perform at my best.
At Nielsen, I can be myself. Every day we're encouraged to bring our best to work, without having to think about how to fake who you are or fight for who you are. The culture here can't be found in many companies that operate in Turkey. There is very little hierarchy, which means you can speak directly to anybody and approach anyone regardless of who you are or what your title is. You are also valued and respected with your chosen pronouns.
Here, I can openly be my authentic self without hesitation, discuss why diversity and pride matter, participate in events like Nielsen Global Impact Day, and have fun while doing my daily work. I can even wear what I want to wear, because people at Nielsen would rather focus on how do we do the work, the impact it makes and what we achieve as a team.
Simply working here makes me happy every day. I see visible support from my ally colleagues wearing their rainbow-colored lanyards. But it's not just because of the inclusive support I get. It's also because I have the opportunity to learn brand new things by attending employee-led training sessions or external training supported by Nielsen. I'm learning, un-learning and re-learning to grow alongside my team in this dynamic, fast-paced ever-changing age of digital technology. I find motivation every morning by telling myself that I'm going to school to learn my favorite lessons with my closest friends, plus I earn money for it—imagine that!

Lessons learnt from the highs and lows of the office-sharing business
We've rented plenty of offices - as well as hiring people - in our time.
Starting out with one in 1988, we're now in 15 across the country.
I know. It's not the most gripping subject, is it? The economics of office space.
What prompted me to start tapping away at the keyboard was the kerfuffle from an American "tech" (I'll come to that) start-up which was, at one point, valued at $47bn and beyond.
Same same but different?
WeWork hires out office space. It buys long leases (say ten years) then splits up the space into shorter-term leases. In essence, that's it. It looks funky but the concept is nothing new.
So why the stratospheric valuation and drumbeat of hype?
WeWork spluttered as it was being prepared to float. That valuation is now down to a third of what it was and the flotation has been formally withdrawn.
The company's mission statement says: "create a world where people work to make a life, not just a living."
Call me old-fashioned but renting out office space is well established (our leases, past and present, would fill a couple of filing cabinets which, I expect, WeWork does not possess).
And I'm not saying that there's no scope for doing things differently in mature markets. After all, that's where we came in.
But we didn't claim to be anything other than we were. Actuarial, investment and financial management expertise, wrapped up in commercial know-how. Always with an eye on how we could improve the way things are done.
WeWork calls itself a tech company, which is puzzling but not when it might be behind the effort to stoke an enormous valuation. And sounds funkier than "space for hire"?
Analysts are unmoved. It was their valuation that partly sunk the bid to go public.
But I continue to be surprised by the fact that a company losing $2 for every $1 it makes built up so much excitement.
It just leaves me bemused that it was ever identified as anything more than its core function.
Beyond the hype
Many of us spend most of our lives at work (and that's still me!) but few of us wish we'd spent more time at the office (rented or otherwise) when we reach old age. Working for a living is one of life's central pursuits, especially, in our case, when you've helped thousands make a life after work.
To succeed, pragmatism allied with scepticism are essential qualities. In these times of increased public distrust in how markets operate, WeWork's woes are an example of when they do work by peering beyond the hype.
London is currently bursting with tech start-ups. Indeed, we have invested in an insurance disruptor.
It would be a shame if this latest high-profile example were to deter investors. It's vital to assess the risks but you also require a dash of bravery and conviction.
But to do that, you need to see the wood for the trees. People bring ideas to us all the time because they know we have spent decades identifying opportunities and nurturing successful, long-term businesses. That's how we work.

Posted by Cara Churchman, 02 February 2018
On Wednesday night Big Brand Ideas and Trunk joined some of the North's top digital talent at the Northern Digital Awards, where collectively we were nominated in five categories!
We were absolutely delighted to win the award for Best Low Budget Campaign for an integrated pro-bono campaign for not-for-profit fundraiser 'The C-Word'. Our friends over at Trunk were also highly commended in the Small Digital Agency of the Year category - a fantastic achievement and testament to the hard work they've put in over the year since they were founded.
'The C-word' campaign resulted in a viral video which clocked up more than 12 million views and helped raise over £30,000 for 10-year-old Isabella Lyttle, who has high risk neuroblastoma, a form of cancer.
As her options for treatment in the UK were running out, the family's plight was brought to the attention of Big Brand Ideas and Trunk through creative Twitter community, One Minute Briefs. We created the hard-hitting 'C-word' video, with no budget, based around the idea that at 10-years-old, Isabella shouldn't know the 'C-word'.
The controversial content gained 12.1 million views, over 88,000 shares, including Unilad, Viral Thread and The Hook and sparked 23,000 comments. It also reached more than 430 million people through an extensive PR campaign which secured coverage in the likes of Daily Mirror, Daily Mail, Huffington Post, Channel 5 News and BBC Midlands Today.
The judges said of the campaign: "A tear-jerking story and amazing cause, every parents' worst nightmare and a courageous little girl. Fantastic use of video and great strategy, a strong, worthy winner in this category."
Big Brand Ideas, Managing Director, Jon Butler, said: "To have our campaign recognised as one of the best in the North is incredible. The 'The C-word' campaign was a crucial part of Isabella's fundraising efforts and we're glad the judges were impressed with our creativity and results.
"The integration between ourselves and our content arm Trunk, shows that we have developed an award-winning business model too. We have the ability to combine content experts with marketing and engagement experts and this is what results in this type of high calibre campaign."
We also had the pleasure of presenting two awards, one for Digital Marketing In House Team of the Year and another for Search Agency of the Year.
We had a fantastic time celebrating our win and meeting all the other hard-working agencies and brands in attendance. A big thank you to Don't Panic and Prolific North for putting on a great night!
The campaign to get Isabella the treatment she needs isn't over, you can still donate to the JustGiving page here.

In a poll in 2016, only 32 per cent of Americans said that they have "a great deal" or "a fair amount" of trust in the mainstream media. The number is especially low among Republican voters, with only 14 per cent of them saying they trust the mainstream media.
Why is this? In fact, the whole world has been losing trust in the mainstream media for a long time. However, the situation in the US is far more serious than in other countries. I reckon this has something to do with their new president, Donald Trump, and it is all about politics.
On January 31, a TV station in Detroit reported that "a local business owner who flew to Iraq to bring his mother back home to the US for medical treatment said she was blocked from returning home under President Trump's ban on immigration and travel from seven mainly Muslim nations. He said that while she was waiting for approval to fly home, she died from an illness."
However, no mainstream media bothered to verify the source of the news before reporting it because it helped them with their liberal propaganda, which is not a secret to most Americans.
The case above shows that there is nothing they won't do, even faking a death to push their political views down everyone's throat.
On the other hand, there is another wave of online news emerging – the alternative media. Some examples are One America News Network and Blaze News. They encourage readers to carry out fact checks, which means checking whether what we see in the news is true or not. In addition, they tend to dig deeper into social issues and political news. Most importantly, they are neutral in terms of politics, so you won't see headlines like "Is the president afraid of stairs?" which appeared on CNN.
The alternative media is still emerging in the sea of information, not only in the US but around the world. I think that this is the right way to get our news so that we are not blinded by lies and fake news. I believe this is much more than a trend. Instead, this is a reflection of a revolution in people's attitudes towards information – less bias, more fact checks.
Kyle Chan, Tsuen Wan Public Ho Chuen Yiu Memorial College
Thank you for your email, Kyle. I'm not sure if Young Post falls into your category of "mainstream media" or not. But, naturally, I feel I must respond as if you think it does. I notice that you provide us no reference to this story of the Iraqi woman's death, so I looked it up online and the first thing I found was a story by The Washington Post – a news source we use often because we trust it – saying that the story is not true. Ironically, it first appeared in Fox News, a media company that is far more supportive of Trump than most. This is an awkward fact, as Trump is the one making the most noise about fake news.
Many people who make these claims don't really understand how the news media works. There is no agenda, usually. Most journalists would be unable to agree on what to have for lunch, let alone on some overarching plan to push a certain agenda. Some media, though, do lean left or right, and will naturally attract those kinds of staff, writers, copy editors and editors. So they will also attract those kinds of readers. It is true that many media outlets lean left because many people in journalism feel that we want a better world. It's often why people become journalists – to change the world for good. So, generally – and I am speaking in broad generalisations here – those who are passionate about news are more open to ideas of helping fellow humans, feeling empathy with refugees, wanting everyone to be treated fairly, wanting everyone to be clothed and fed, and taking care of the planet.
Journalists differ on the way they think this goal should be achieved – by helping the rich or helping the poor.
There are other people who have completely different ideas of how the world should be. They are usually the privileged few who don't wish to lose those privileges – and, sensibly, who would? They understand that resources are like a cake, and that cake can only feed so many people. They like to ensure that they get the biggest slice of cake they can because they believe that greed is a good thing. That is a whole discussion I shall leave for another time.
Mainstream media (MSM, as those against it like to call it), do not have super powers to know when someone is lying to them. They often only have the time and resources to report what someone has said to them. They should report it in such a way that it is clear that it is unverified.
If you think of Young Post getting that kind of story, we don't have the resources to pop someone on a plane to Iraq to check if the woman died, and make it back in time for deadline. So we will tell you what the man says happened. It's up to you to check, to judge, to think things through.
Being in the mainstream media does not make us immune to mistakes. People are people and make mistakes all the time. However they do not deliberately set out to mislead anyone. And once we know we have made a mistake, we make sure everyone else knows it too.
If you saw the discussions we have at editorial meetings, you would know how much time we spend deciding which stories to write about, and how to write about them!
I could go on and on explaining the checks and balances that are in place to do our best to get a story right. But it would be better if you came along to Young Post to see for yourself! Do consider signing up for our YP cadet programme this summer (email us at [email protected] ), and learn more about the fascinating world of journalism.

As an atheist/skeptic/non-believer we're often made to feel like we're assholes for stating our views. There is constant pressure on us to just be quiet and stop being "rude" by saying what we think about religion. Now an atheist can be rude or obnoxious or state their views inappropriately. For instance I don't think a funeral is the place to start a debate about the existence of heaven (unless of course it's privately and with someone who didn't know or wasn't close with the person in the pine box). Logically there's nothing wrong with it of course and in principle no idea should be off-limits, but a simple cost-benefit analysis reveals that a) you're probably not going to change their mind and b) you're going to make someone in a lot of pain feel worse, so I don't think most atheists would do that. Not for any logical reason, but purely on the grounds of compassion.
An atheist can also be rude in their delivery, ie "omg you moron, you actually believe that". Being a dick is being a dick no matter what you believe. But we're admonished to not say what we think even when we're being very polite and logical. I find myself feeling the need to qualify my remarks all the time, not just to be more logically correct but also to "soften" them for consumption by a religious person. I was just commenting on a blog about the scene with the devil in the movie constantine (very good performance by the way, lucifer was fantastic) and I got a response back along the lines of "yeah the devil really is like that". I wanted to say "No, he really isn't. You'd have to exist to be like something and asserting that the devil is like x, y, or z is as ridiculous as asserting that unicorns can run 35 miles per hour. You need proof to claim things like this man, proof I say!"
But instead I said something like "not in my opinion". And it got me thinking (again) about why is it okay that any religious advocate can state plainly without any qualification or taking into account the beliefs of others or their audience any view (no matter how absurd by the way), and I can't just say "No, that's not true". If I'm being rude by being direct and saying the idea of a god is absurd and unfounded, why isn't it rude for a religious advocate to be direct and say "there is a god and this is his name and these are his commandments and I'm his best friend and he loves me more than you and you're going to hell while I'm going to enjoy paradise knowing you're there"? They're contradicting my views as much as I'm contradicting theirs, so why is it I'm made to feel I have to qualify my remarks and soften my language and be gentle but religious advocates are never similarly admonished unless they're crashing funerals or lynching people?
Again I'm not talking about actual rudeness like name calling or insulting each other, just stating one's view.
If you don't get what I mean I'll sum it up:
Religious advocate: There is a god.
Atheist: No there isn't.
OMG How rude was that atheist just there!
This is also relevant.

Mechanisms of Aluminum Tolerance in Triticum aestivum L. (Wheat). II. Differential pH Induced by Spring Cultivars in Nutrient Solutions.

Twenty spring cultivars of Traticum aestivum L. (wheat) were grown in solution culture with and without aluminum (A1) (74 gM, 2.0 mg L-l) for 14 days. Root growth and shoot growth were depressed in all cultivars grown with A1; however, symptoms of A1 toxicity were most evident on roots. Based on a root tolerance index (RTI = weight of roots grown with Al/weight of roots grown without A1), cultivar tolerance ranged from 0.18 + 0.02 to 0.85 + 0.03. Aluminum- affected roots were relatively short, thick, and had numerous undeveloped laterals. Leaves of some cultivars showed chlorosis resembling iron deficiency and others showed purple stems typical of phosphate deficiency. Plants of all cultivars induced a progressive decline in nutrient solution pH from the outset of the experiment until Days 10-14. After this initial period, some cultivars rapidly increased solution pH, while others continued to depress solution pH throughout the experiment. Cultivar tolerance expressed as the RTI was negatively correlated with the negative log of the mean hydrogen ion (H+) concentration, the minimum pH and the slope of the pH decline, each calculated from pH data collected during the first 9 days of the experimental period before any sharp rises in pH. The relationship between solution pH and A1 tolerance was similar to that reported previously for winter cultivars of T. aestivum, suggesting that the A1 tolerance of a given cultivar is a function of its ability to resist acidification of the nutrient solution and hence to limit the solubility and toxicity of Al.

The NCL moved into week two of the 2017-2018 season with 14 games spread across Ontario, Quebec, and British Columbia. Week 2 of the NCL also featured the opening of the Major League Water Polo (MLWP) season.
At McMaster University in Hamilton, the five Southern Ontario teams in the 16U boys' division began their campaigns on Saturday. The games featured the first ever NCL 16U game for Shadow, as well as Hamilton's return to the NCL after a three-year absence. It was a successful day for both teams as Hamilton picked up two wins in two games, defeating the KW Inferno 8-5 and Shadow 9-5, and Shadow recorded a 13-6 win over the Toronto Golden Jets. The defending 16U National Champions, the Mavericks, look like a strong contender to repeat, after a 30-4 victory over KW in their only game of the day.
In Richmond, Pacific Storm and Fraser Valley renewed their West Coast rivalry, and after a pair of 19U games, there was no way to separate the clubs, as both games ended in ties. In the women's game, Fraser Valley came back from a two-goal deficit in the 4th quarter to earn an 8-8 tie. Holly Fedyck was a difference maker for Fraser Valley, scoring four goals for Valley, including both of her team's goals in the 4th quarter. The men's game came right down to the wire. After Pacific Storm had reversed a two-goal deficit in the 4th, Fraser Valley's Garrett Davis scored the tying goal with just two seconds left in the game.
In Montreal, St-Lambert and Laval played host to a series of games over the weekend, including the first two MLWP games of the season. Perennially, Senior Nationals contender CAMO defeated the Laval Tritons 17-11 in the opening game of the men's season, while their female counterparts started their season with a 19-9 win over St-Lambert. St-Lambert would pick up their first ever MLWP win on Sunday night, when they defeated Dollard 13-7.
This Week
There are only 8 games on the NCL docket this week, with seven in Dollard on Saturday and Sunday, and one match in Etobicoke on Sunday night. Please see the NCL schedule for further details: http://www.waterpolo.ca/NLScheduleResult.aspx
Water Polo Canada would like to thank the host volunteers for Laval, St-Lambert, Hamilton, and Pacific Storm for their help this weekend.

The transition to kindergarten is an important milestone in a young child's life. While this transition is often accompanied by much excitement and anticipation, it can also bring uncertainty and anxiety as children face changes on multiple levels.
This issue brief explores how COVID-related school closures are likely to effect children's academic progress, access to resources, and overall health and wellbeing and how systemic inequities exacerbate the impact for some groups.
This guide provides engaging activities and challenges to be used for youth-serving summer programs, whether running virtually or in-person, or to send digitally to families. It is organized to support four different age groups (5-9), (10-12), (13-15), (16-18). The first unit was released May 27, 2020 and subsequent units will be released in two-week increments.
This toolkit provides parents and other caregivers ways to support their children's learning outside of the classroom. It was updated March 13, 2020. It offers a range of different types of free online resources that can help children continue to build critical literacy skills at home or in group care, especially while schools are closed. Targeted ages vary by resource.
This website is a compilation of learning resources from many organizations. It is organized so that both educators and families can access activities for grades pre-K-5 and grades 6-12. It includes virtual tours of national parks and museums, activities by subject area like social studies and math, and activities in Spanish for students who are English Language Learners.
This PowerPoint offers clear insights into how children and families may react to disasters, as well as a conceptual framework for how to help and specific interventions to offer, such as psychological first aid. While geared to pediatricians, it is very relevant to Out-of-School Time (OST) leaders and caregivers trying to help in the current pandemic. Also available in Spanish.
This series of 18 fact sheets summarizes data about state QRIS systems and includes state examples that can be helpful for state system planners building QRIS systems.
This video by novelist Chimamanda Adichie shares a powerful message that when we hear only a single story about another person or country, we risk a critical misunderstanding. She shares examples of how a single story can paint an incomplete picture and can rob people of their humanity.
With an emphasis on equity and inclusion, this white paper outlines promising practices for engaging families in STEM as a means of increasing youth participation and retention in STEM pathways. Parents play a critical role in engaging youth in STEM activities and careers, especially for girls, youth of color, low-income youth, and youth with disabilities.
Once young children reach school age, parents often think the challenge of finding quality child care is behind them. However, many working parents come to realize that finding quality child care for their school-age children can be just as challenging, if not more so.

A technology company official is urging the country to invest more robotic programs to be integrated on schools to encourage students, specially the young ones to take up science, engineering and technology courses.
Vice president of Data Science and Technology Corp, Pinky Legaspi thanked robotic programs in schools as she said more Filipino students in elementary and secondary are now showing interest in technology; yet she added that more has to be done.
If Filipino kids are given sufficient support and assistance, it is more likely that they too would be able to compete and win in international robot competitions, Legaspi said speaking to ANC's Future Perfect Tech Shorts, as disclosed in ABS-CBN.
She also gave recognition to Filipino kids who built and programmed robots for the recent World Robot Games in Singapore, as they undeniably were able to showcase their creativity.
"In the competition, we had about 15 innovators. They created robot projects that are for military, that are for home use, some are for medical purposes," Legaspi said.
The next World Robot Games will be in October 2018, to be held in the Philippines.

Hakluyt, Richard
- Arthur F. Kinney
Hakluyt, Richard (1552–23 November 1616), British geographer and anthologist of travel literature, was born in London, the son of a merchant father, orphaned at five, and reared by his uncle (the names of his parents and uncle are not known). He was descended from the Welsh Hakluyts of Herefordshire, whose family seat was Eaton, near Leominster. Richard was a queen's scholar at Westminster school; during that period he visited his namesake, a cousin twenty years his elder, at Middle Temple, where he was introduced to "certeine bookes of Cosmographie, with an universall Mappe" and the Bible, and felt an immediate passion for "that knowledge and kinde of literature." He entered Christ Church, Oxford, in 1570 and after earning his M.A. in 1577 began to give there the first public lectures in England on geography, lectures that "shewed both the old imperfectly composed, and the new lately reformed Mappes, Globes, Spheares and other instruments of this Art." He also began a lifetime of voracious reading of "whatsoever printed or written discoveries and voyages I found extant either in the Greeke, Latine, Italian, Spanish, Portugall, French, or English languages."...

(Part I of V)
It is undeniable that there are tremendous benefits stemming from tenured employees. Organizations must establish programs to retain employees.
It is very expensive when employees leave. Aside from the direct and indirect costs associated with an employee turnover, the organization also suffers from brain drain or the knowledge that is lost with the employee's departure. When these knowledge are retained, there is a continuing improvement in the quality and productivity of the organization.
Another reason to prevent turnover is the avoidance of defection of critical employees to competitors, which might also result to colleagues and customers who enjoyed working with defecting employees to follow them to competing companies.
While organizations and the human resource departments in particular can create retention programs, the team leaders, supervisors, and managers can also have influence on the retention of employees.
If you are a good team leader, you will find ways to make your employees happy with their jobs. A mediocre one will always find ways to make the lives of the employees miserable.
Sometimes, even the policies we put in place make it difficult for the employees to find their joy. A manager or supervisor's quality of relationship with his or her team will indicate the potential for the team members to stay and be committed in their jobs, or to look employment elsewhere.
Practical Application: Be a wise team leader. Be smarter. Find ways to make your employees happy, and you will help secure a strong job retention rate, just like at Costco. (JAN)
