'The Velveteen Rabbit' at YBCA kicks off holiday family fare
"The Velveteen Rabbit" kicks off the season of holiday family shows Friday, Nov. 28, when it opens, for the 28th year, at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.
If your child likes cozy bedtime stories written for generations past (when children inhabited nurseries), the tale of the stuffed rabbit, so well loved that he comes to life, is likely to please. The messages are similar to those in the much more modern "Toy Story." The show is recommended for children ages 3 and up; the first act is 50 minutes and the second is 25 minutes.
The cast is a mix of ODC's professional dancers and children from the ODC school. The musical score is by Benjamin Britten and the recorded narration is by British actor Geoff Hoyle, from the original Broadway production of "The Lion King."
"The Velveteen Rabbit" is one of those holiday dance performances that are often a child's entry into the dance world. For those planning ahead, here are a variety of options for catching some of the season's classic productions, with kids in tow.
A full regiment of 'Nutcrackers': While the San Francisco Ballet's "Nutcracker" is a joy, attending a smaller production can be somewhat easier on the pocketbook — or at least for the same ticket price you'll sit closer. Also, since the Ballet prefers that patrons bring only children 5 and older, if you've got preschoolers, you'll want to know other options:
•The City Ballet School performs Dec. 13 and 14 at the Palace of Fine Arts Theater in San Francisco.
•The Marin Ballet performs with a few guest artists in addition to students, Dec. 13 and 14 at the Marin Center in San Rafael.
•At the Berkeley Ballet Theater, it's an all-student cast starting Dec. 12 for two weekends.
•The Peninsula Ballet performs Dec. 20-22 at the Fox Theater in Redwood City, Dec. 20-22.
Extroverts might want to try the Dance-Along Nutcracker at the Yerba Buena Center. Sadly, the Jewish Nutcracker will not be performed this year, but the Meshuga Nutcracker plays in San Francisco and Campbell.
Holiday circus: The holidays may feel like a circus in your house, but for a real circus act, check out "Mittens & Mistletoe," a winter circus cabaret by Sweet Can at the Dance Mission Theater in San Francisco, Dec. 19-28.
San Francisco Symphony: The Symphony offers a full month of family-friendly programs: "Deck the Hall," a concert of holiday music and a sing-along on Dec. 7; "Home Alone," with music performed by the Symphony on Dec. 12-13; "Peter and the Wolf," with Rita Moreno narrating on Dec. 14; "A Merri-Achi Christmas," (mariachi music, without the Symphony) also Dec. 14; and "A Charlie Brown Christmas," accompanied by the Symphony, Dec. 19-24. Also, on Dec. 6, is "Music for Families," which is not a holiday music program but is meant especially for children, 7 and up.

President Trump has doubled down on his claim that there are dangerous people 'from the Middle East' among the 7,200-strong migrant caravan making its way towards the US and says he will spare no expense or resource in stopping them from entering the country.
Speaking on board Air Force One on Monday night, the president told
Repeating his earlier remark that the Democrats were to blame for it, he said: 'I think this could be a blessing in disguise because it shows how bad our laws are. The Democrats are responsible for that.'
He was on his way to a campaign rally in support of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz where he described the caravan as an 'assault on the country' that the Democrats were to blame for.
As he spoke, a second caravan of thousands of additional migrants made their way through Guatemala.
Now, the original caravan, which is in southern Mexico, is a mile long. It remains unclear exactly how many are in the second batch but they are making fast progress through Guatemala.
Among them in both camps are deportees who say they are determined to resume their old American lives despite being thrown out either by Trump's administration or those before him.
Scroll down for video
President Trump appeared at a rally for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz on Monday night where he repeated claims that the Democrats were to blame for the caravan and said it was an 'assault' on the country
Job Reyes, a 36-year-old who was previously deported, told
'When I heard about the caravan, I knew it was my chance.'
The UN has warned that many of those making the journey are at risk of being kidnapped or trafficked as they gradually walk through Mexico.
Adrian Edwards, a spokesman for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, said Tuesday in Geneva the agency is concerned about 'the developing humanitarian situation and the known kidnapping and security risks in areas the caravan may venture into.'
'In any situation like this it is essential that people have the chance to request asylum and have their international protection needs properly assessed, before any decision on return (or) deportation is made,' he added.
President Trump is however confident that the migrants pose the biggest threat.
Caravan 2.0: In addition to the 7,200 migrants who are in the first group, a second caravan has formed in Guatemala and is preparing to cross the border into Mexico. They are pictured on Monday night as they arrive in Chiquimula, 280 miles from Mexico's border
It is unclear exactly how many additional migrants are in the second caravan. They are shown on Monday night, making their way past Guatemalan police officers
The second group are in west Guatemala in Chiquimula. On Monday, they were put on buses which will drive them the 280 miles they need to cross to get to the Mexican border. Then, they will join lines of hundred of remaining migrants from the first caravan to get over the Mexican border and continue up towards the US
In a flurry of comments outside the White House on Monday afternoon, he said: 'I have reports that they've got a lot of everybody in that group. It's a horrible thing.'
He insisted during one exchange that a mid-morning tweet about '[c]riminals and unknown Middle Easterners' would be proven true – that they're really there – if reporters would only look in the right places.
'You know what you should do?' Trump asked. 'Go into the middle of the caravan. Take your cameras and search, okay?'
'Go into the middle and search,' the president said. 'You're going to find MS-13. You're going to find Middle Eastern[ers].
'You're going to find everything. And guess what? We're not allowing them in our country. We want safety. We want safety.'
Democrats and Republicans have fought for days about how to describe the latest sea of humanity known as a migration 'caravan.'
There are still hundreds of people trickling over Guatemala's border with Mexico. Some are shown above being lined up on Monday before being let over the border gate. Mexico suddenly decided to start allowing them in on Friday after initially promising not to. The move infuriated President Trump who has since threatened to cut off aid to Central America in retaliation
I dare you: President Donald Trump challenged a TV reporter on Monday to take his camera crew into the migrant caravan in southern Mexico and declared that they fould find drug cartel gangsters and Middle Easterners mixed in with asylum-seekers from Central America
Caravan: As many as 7,000 people are now traveling in the caravan which was seen from the air in Tapachula, in southern Mexico – still 1,600 miles from the U.S. border
Any way to get north: These Hondurans have a ride for part of the journey through Guatemala and Mexico and hope to cross into the U.S., but President Trump says he's alerted America's military and border control agencies
On the road: The migrant caravan was in Metapa, in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas, Monday, at the same time as Trump was tweeting that it was a 'national emergency' in the U.S.
On the move: Honduran migrants used a truck to get further into Mexico in Tapachula on Monday
Pressure: The city of Tapachula has seen Miguel Hidalgo Park become ground zero for members of the migrant caravan sleeping rough
Having crossed the border between Mexico and Guatemala, the migrants reached the town of Huixtla on Monday night and appear to be traveling around 20 miles per day
After the town square in Tapachula was turned into a resting place for the migrants, on Monday night it was the turn of Huixtla to play host to the caravan
At their current pace it will take the migrants around 80 days to cross Mexico on foot, meaning they will arrive at the southern US border shortly after New Year

Not everyone from the original caravan has made it into Mexico. Here, several hundred people wait on a bridge between Guatemala and Mexico to be admitted legally
Migrants hoping to enter Mexico legally from Guatemala sleep in camps near the border crossing point
To the political left, they're asylum seekers fleeing poverty and civil wars driven by narco-trafficking. On the right they're seen as opportunists, urged by Trump's political adversaries to be as visible as possible in the days leading up to a congressional election and nudge Democrats to the polls.
Trump has largely blamed the governments of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, warning that he'll turn off the foreign-aid spigot as punishment for threatening U.S. border security.
'Every year we give them foreign aid, and they did nothing for us. … Hundreds of millions of dollars. They, like a lot of others, do nothing for our country,' he fumed Monday.
Observers on the ground have said the migrant exodus is largely controlled by drug cartels and human traffickers, not government agencies.
The president claimed that the caravan had grown to become 'a lot bigger than 5,000 people,' citing the most common figure in news reports, 'and we've got to stop them at the border.'
He complained earlier on Twitter that Mexico has been unable to stop the migrants who have captured humanitarian interest while they've piqued his outrage.
'Sadly, it looks like Mexico's Police and Military are unable to stop the Caravan heading to the Southern Border of the United States. Criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in. I have alerted Border Patrol and Military that this is a National Emerg[enc]y. Must change laws!' he tweeted.
The president also returned to his political messaging just 15 days before the midterm congressional election, saying voters who fear the impact of a mass influx of illegal immigrants should elect more Republicans.
'Every time you see a Caravan, or people illegally coming, or attempting to come, into our Country illegally, think of and blame the Democrats for not giving us the votes to change our pathetic Immigration Laws! Remember the Midterms! So unfair to those who come in legally,' he said.
The Department of Homeland Security is warning that Mexico's cartels will try to 'prey on the vulnerabilities' of migrants in the caravan, now 7,000 strong.
Despite President Trump's hardline rhetoric, a second caravan has now formed and is roughly 200 miles behind the first. Here, members of the new caravan are pictured in Chiquimula, Guatemala

DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen warned that criminals and people smugglers will be hunted down and 'prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.'
Nielsen spoke as thousands marched on through
Up to 7,000 people are now traveling in the caravan, according to the
Several thousand are thought to have returned home, some on buses provided by the Guatemalan government, after being blocked at the Mexican border.
But a new group of 1,000 Hondurans have begun the journey, vowing to following in the footsteps of the first.
Mexican officials say 640 people stopped at their border before applying for legal refuge, including 164 women, more than 104 children and teenagers, and many older and disabled people.
Of those who managed to cross the border most ended up in a town called Tapachula, around 20 miles from the border at Ciudad Hidalgo, where they rested on Sunday night before continuing their march.
They now face a daunting slog of 1,600 miles across Mexico before reaching the U.S. border, where President Trump has vowed to turn them away.
Hefired off a tweet on Sunday afternoon, saying: 'Full efforts are being made to stop the onslaught of illegal aliens from crossing our Southern Border.
'People have to apply for asylum in Mexico first, and if they fail to do that, the U.S. will turn them away. The courts are asking the U.S. to do things that are not doable!'
Mexican border guards initially drew praise from Trump for their hard line approach after stopping thousands of people from crossing into the country using riot shields and tear gas.
But many later crossed the river on makeshift rafts, or were helped across by sympathetic Mexicans who loaded them into pickups, vans and cargo trucks before driving across.
On their way: Members of the caravan get on the back of truck as they try to make their way north from Tapachula
Assistance: These members of the caravan had crowded into the back of a truck to get to the city of Tapachula, after crossing the border from Guatemala into Mexico
The president said Monday that he has alerted the U.S. military about a national emergency
He reminded the governments of Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador on Monday that the aid money they get from Washington could dry up
Cool down: Central American migrants use a fire hydrant in the main plaza of Tapachala, the city just across the Mexican border where as many as 7,000 are now gathered
Crossing to Mexico: Migrants are using rafts to cross the Suchiate River, the barrier between Mexico and Guatemala, to avoid military and borer patrols
Impact: In Tapachula public authorities are facing huge numbers of people sleeping outside, especially in Miguel Hidalgo Park
Emergency measure: Red Cross tents have been put in place in the arena used for the annual International Mesoamerican Fair in Tapachula
Sleeping rough: One of the Honduran migrants who has made it to the border at Tecan Uman, Guatemala, sleeps as he waits for his claim to be processed
On the road: Local trucks have been moving people who started in Honduras and are now in Mexico on their way to Tapachula
Ready for arrivals: These tents have been erected at the International Mesoamerican Fair's former venue in Tapachula in anticipation of even more people crossing the border

Speaking on Sunday about the group who had crossed into Mexico, Nielsen said: 'While we closely monitor the caravan crisis, we must remain mindful of the transnational criminal organizations and other criminals that prey on the vulnerabilities of those undertaking the irregular migration journey.
'We shall work with our partners in the region to investigate and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law all who seek to encourage and profit from irregular migration.
'We fully support the efforts of Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico, as they seek to address this critical situation and ensure a safer and more secure region.'
Aaron Juarez, 21, a migrant walking through Mexico with his wife and baby while limping from an injury, vowed that 'no one is going to stop us' from getting into the U.S. '[Not] after all we've gone through.'
Honduran farmer Edwin Geovanni Enamorado said he was forced to leave his country because of intimidation by racketeering gangs. 'We are tired, but very happy, we are united and strong,' he said.
Britany Hernandez added: 'We have sunburn. We have blisters. But we got here. Our strength is greater than Trump's threats.'
Mexico's President-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador called for fair treatment of the migrants.

'We don't want them to face what (Mexicans) face when they need to look for work in the United States,' he said on Twitter.
The caravan left San Pedro Sula in northern Honduras more than a week ago, following a call on social networks relayed by a former Honduran deputy.
The politician, Bartolo Fuentes – a member of leftist former president Manuel Zelaya's Freedom and Refoundation Party – told AFP he only reproduced a poster on his Facebook page.
The poster invited people on a 'Migrant march' with a slogan: 'We're not leaving because we want to, but because we are being expelled by violence and poverty.'
Morales and his Honduran counterpart Juan Orlando Hernandez said after meeting that the march was 'violating the borders and the good faith of the states.'
The Honduran president acknowledged that social problems were a contributory factor.
'Without a doubt, we have a lot to do so that our people can have opportunities in their communities,' he said.
Migrants denied their motives were political.
'We decided to join those who were going,' said Edgar Aguilar. This is not political. This comes from hunger, from the drought, it's for prosperity, for a better life. This is not political!'
The migrants are generally fleeing poverty and insecurity in Honduras, where powerful street gangs rule their turf with brutal violence.
With a homicide rate of 43 per 100,000 citizens, Honduras is one of the most violent countries in the world, according to a Honduran university study.

Against the backdrop of a quickly evolving world, we want you to know we remain committed and ready to help you get to wherever you need to be. As an essential service provider, we've remained open to serve customers who rely on us to provide critical mobility options and those on the front line of relief efforts.
Below is an update and some of the steps we are taking to protect customers and employees.
Complete Clean Pledge
Today and every day, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness in the industry. Now more than ever, our customers and employees deserve to know we stand behind that commitment with our Complete Clean Pledge. We pledge to go above and beyond our already rigorous cleaning protocols, including strict sanitizing procedures to protect the health and safety of all.
While we've always had a very formal training process in place that instructs all employees on the proper cleaning of a vehicle, employees are being trained to implement new and more comprehensive mandates that include enhanced cleaning guidance for our vehicles, shuttles and branch locations, as well as social distancing practices.
Each of our vehicles is thoroughly cleaned and backed with the Complete Clean Pledge. Our procedures mandate a thorough washing, vacuuming, general wipe down, and sanitizing with a disinfectant that meets leading health authority requirements, with particular attention to more than 20-plus high-touch points. We are frequently reinforcing the importance of this process with our employees.
Social distancing protocols are implemented as passengers board, ride and depart from our shuttle buses. We are limiting the number of passengers on each bus, encouraging a one-way flow as passengers board and ensuring that passengers from different parties keep appropriate social distancing from others.
High-touch areas of our shuttles are cleaned and sanitized using a disinfectant frequently and between trips. This includes baggage racks, door handles, and seat backs. All surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized with a disinfectant at least once per day.
Branch Locations
The Complete Clean Pledge extends to our locations, as well.
We are implementing additional measures to clean and disinfect our locations, in alignment with guidance from health authorities. This includes frequently sanitizing touchable surfaces with disinfectant throughout the day, such as countertops, phones, tablet devices, payment devices, door handles, among other high-touch areas.
The cleaning guidance set forth in the Complete Clean Pledge is also aligned with the U.S. Travel Association's (USTA) "Travel in the New Normal" guidance.
Taking Precautions to Reduce Spread
While we are accepting reservations from any branch location on the web or by phone, we have limited our physical locations by consolidating operations to centralized branches. We are also continuing to monitor the situation and open branches back up as appropriate in areas where we are able.
After you make a reservation online, you may be contacted by an Enterprise employee to help arrange a vehicle transfer point that may differ from your originating branch location.
For reservations made on your behalf by a third party, such as an insurance carrier, the process is the same. An Enterprise employee will contact you to arrange the details to fulfill your reservation.
This precaution helps protect employees and customers, keeping our open locations and physical interaction to a minimum while still maximizing our availability for those that need our services.
Employee and Customer Safety and Wellbeing
While we have limited our open physical locations as much as possible, rental agents are available on site to assist in the actual transfer of vehicles.
Enterprise is committed to providing a safe work environment during this challenging time and continues to monitor the situation, implementing additional safety measures as needed.
In addition to branch employees, we also have remote customer service staff working to answer your questions and help you arrange or change reservations.
The employees working in branch locations are following the best practices recommended by various health authorities to help protect and reduce risk of spreading the virus.
These practices include:
- Wearing masks or facial coverings
- Limiting the number of employees in a location
- Using social distancing
- Staying home if they are feeling ill
- Frequently washing hands
- Frequently sanitizing touchable surfaces with disinfectant
- Using disposable gloves and a disinfectant when cleaning vehicles
- Minimizing customer interaction at vehicle pickup or delivery
- Ensuring local teams have supplies and resources needed
To help protect both customers and employees, we also have modified our service offerings. This includes the addition of curbside rentals at our locations to help promote social distancing by getting you quickly on your way while avoiding foot traffic in our locations.
Whether you are picking your vehicle up curbside, or if we deliver it to you at your workplace, body shop or home, we maintain proper distance throughout the process.
While we look forward to continuing to serve you during this time, we recognize some travel plans may change. We have extended our existing no-fee cancellation policy to include customers with pre-paid rentals booked directly through us. Customers who have booked a rental through a third-party are encouraged to contact that party directly to understand their policy.
Loyalty Programs
We are continuing to closely monitor the impact of travel restrictions on our members during this global health emergency. To support our loyal customers and ensure they can enjoy the status and benefits they have earned, the National Car Rental and Enterprise Rent-A-Car brands have extended their elite tiers for another year through Emerald Club and Enterprise Plus, respectively.
Both Emerald Club and Enterprise Plus are also rolling over any qualifying rentals and rental days above those needed to get the member to the next tier, giving the member a balance into the following year.
Emerald Club has also extended the use of free days earned from its annual "One Two Free" (U.S.) and "Rent Rent Reward" (Canada) promotion from June 15 to December 31. Additionally, One Two Free days earned can be redeemed at U.S. Enterprise Rent-A-Car neighborhood locations.

St. Mary's Catholic Women's League is hosting their Annual Fall Tea and Bazaar this Saturday October 27 from 1:00-3:00 p.m. at the Almonte Civitan Hall, 500 Almonte Street. Entrance to the hall is FREE. Come out to enjoy the many great deals on home baking, jewelry, purses and scarves, books, and linens. The Spin & Win game, a favourite among the young and adults alike, will be open for a chance to win a little prize, and of course, Raffle Tickets for a chance to win $1000, $500, or $250 will be available for sale until the draw at 3 p.m. Raffle tickets cost $2 each, or 3 for $5.
As always, the Tea, at a cost of $7.00 per person, will provide sustenance with a light luncheon of sandwiches, pickles, squares, and tea/coffee. This aspect of the event is always popular for its quality, and the chance to sit down and chat with friends.
This year, there are two lovely door prizes for the young and young at heart, the draws to be held just before the draws for the Raffle prizes. Get your name in the pot to win one of them! Children are welcome, and it is a great place to help them do a little Christmas shopping at a price they can afford.
The proceeds from the Tea and Bazaar are used to fund various projects and charities supported by the Catholic Women's League, of local, regional, provincial, national, and international concern. For example, the National CWL has established the theme "Homelessness", and our local CWL has contributed to the needs of those without permanent homes in Lanark County, Ottawa, and Toronto over the past year, using some of the funds raised last year from the Tea and Bazaar.
Help us to continue our work by supporting this year's Fall Tea and Bazaar on Saturday! We look forward to seeing you there!

National Weather Service Offices across South Dakota are using the week of April 24th to April 28th as Severe Weather Awareness Week. The National Weather Service will spend all five days outlining key ideas and features of summer time severe weather.
Today's focus is on the age-old question of watch vs. warning. Beadle County Emergency Management Director Zach Nelson explains the difference:
Broken down in its most simplistic form, a WATCH means WATCH out, the chance to see severe storms exists. WARNING means a storm is happening or is likely to happen. What of the two words sounds worse? WARNING right? So take immediate action. Severe Thunderstorm Warnings should not be passed off as rain and noise. Thunderstorm straight-line winds can blow up to 80 miles per hour or more. Large hail will cause damage to just about everything. When you're aware that a WATCH is posted for your county, that is when you should make preliminary plans to consider…"What would you do if a Warning is issued?" When a Watch is posted, find your blankets, bike helmets for the kids, flashlights, battery-powered radio, whatever you have in your emergency kits, get it staged and prepared just in case, while it's calm and nice, so you don't forget anything in the rush of taking cover if a WARNING is issued. When a WATCH is issued, you should be paying closer attention to the weather than usual, keeping an eye and ear out for possible warnings. One thing you may want to consider is a quality radar app for your smart device. That way you can track advancing weather systems in the palm of your hand.
As a part of Severe Weather Awareness Week, the National Weather Service will be conducting a statewide tornado drill on Wednesday April 26th. The tornado drill begins with a test WATCH at 10 AM. At 10:15 AM a test WARNING will be issued. At that time, tornado sirens will be activated across the county.

Moles are dark or brown spots appeared on the skin, and can be referred by using different terms. In most cases people are born with moles, although sometimes they may appear in time. You should also know that sun exposure may determine your moles to widen, and new ones may form but if you opt for a mole remover treatment, they will vanish.
Just are well, moles can be inherited, and in numerous families, the members feature similar mole types. It is important to know that the inherited moles are extremely dangerous, and usually they are cancerous, so you should have them checked regularly. Also, all the persons who present moles on their body, should eliminate them by using a medical procedure, which can be excision, with stitches or not, or excision with cauterization, during which the mole is burned using special medical utensils. Some people chose to remove their moles through laser surgery, but this procedure is not recommended because the laser is unable reach the very deep layers of skin, which are located beneath the mole.
You doctor will recommend you a certain mole removal procedure, after he has considered your expectations, and the specific characteristics of your mole. However, these procedures imply some risks that usually consist of infection, nerve damage or allergic reactions to the anesthetic. Consequently, you need to select a reputable surgeon, who has dealt with similar cases before, and who knows exactly what needs to be done. Mole removal surgeries are generally beneficial, and they will remove your skin blemishes completely, but they may leave a small scar behind. This is an aspect that people tend to overlook when they decide going through a mole removal procedure, but most doctors explain exactly where the scar will be located and how visible it will be.
The mole, and the surrounding area, will be cleaned well before the surgery. The doctor will decide if Betadine, or alcohol, will be used for the disinfection. Lidocaine is one of the most powerful anesthetic substances, and it will be used to numb the area before surgery. Then starts the actual procedure, which is relatively simple, and it implies that the surgeon will cut the mole below the level of the skin. Then, an electrical medical instrument is used to burn the area and a solution is applied to stop the potential bleeding. The wound is then covered with a topical antibiotic and is wrapped in a bandage. However, if your doctor has recommended you an excision with stitches, it means that most likely your mole is not irregular, and it present a darkish nuance.
In this situation the surgeon will also clean the area, and the anesthetize it. And, by using a surgical scalpel, the doctor will delimitate your mole from the surrounding tissue. This border is made accordingly to the size and characteristics of the mole, and if it is cancerous, it will be deeper, and wider, in order to prevent the mole from reappearing. Also, stitches can be placed either on the surface of the tissues, or inside the tissue, if the body is capable of absorbing them.
This choice will be made according to the requirements of the patient, as well as to the depth of the mole. Subsequently, the patients must not forget to apply daily antibiotics on the damaged area, and to clean it very gently, and with a lot of consideration after the mole remover procedure.

The world of fundraising does not, by and large, like surprises. When faced with a kink in the road ahead, it likes to be able to plan for it – to know which way to turn before it gets there.
Well, the charity landscape in recent years has changed, with a proliferation of marketing channels used to solicit donations from supporters. As the methods of communication become more and more diverse so have the ways of responding, and while this has presented many new fundraising opportunities, it has also made it much harder to decipher the messages contained in the results – to separate the good stuff from the not so good, and plan accordingly for the future. Surprises still abound, and as the sector is well aware, more uncertainties lie round the corner in the form of legislation.
Multiple marketing channels are hastening the inevitable end of the era of direct measurement from stimulus to response. For example, most charities are seeing an increasing proportion of donations being made online, often without any link to a reason for the donation. While there are ways of helping the donor to provide some useful information (drop-down menus at the point of donation, for example), it's possible that without a direct link between cause and effect, as much as half of all donations could be coming in from an unknown origin.
How does econometric modelling help?
By using econometric modelling techniques we can begin to understand the relative importance of the various factors that may be simultaneously influencing donations, and so identify the key drivers behind these 'unknown' donations.
Econometric modelling can also help to identify the full effect of channels such as TV, where although some responses may be directly attributable, the medium will undoubtedly generate a halo effect acting upon other forms or channels of donation behaviour.
In a nutshell econometrics can help you:
- In a nutshell using econometrics can help to:
- Prove the effectiveness of marketing spend (including halo effects)
- Show impact of spend on donations and ROI
- Assess impact and return for separate marketing channels
- Identify factors outside client's control (interest rate changes, weather, major events) and factor their impact into response
- Measure the impact of competitor spend
By understanding these issues, it is then possible to begin planning for the future, including:
- Optimising marketing budgets
- Forecasting income based on drivers
- Creating scenario plans
- Identifying and quantifying unusual events
What does econometric modelling do?
Econometrics – or Market Mix Modelling – provides a useful means of identifying and quantifying the effects of the various drivers affecting a key performance indicator (or dependent variable).
The key performance indicator (dependent variable) would usually be sales value (donations) on a weekly or monthly basis, but could equally be sales volume, new sign-ups, web visits, campaigning actions…
The technique uses historical data to understand why sales vary from one period to the next and explains the sales variation in terms of proposed explanatory factors. The aim is to discover both the factors and the weights of those factors which explain as much as possible of historical sales. A good model would expect to explain over 95% of sales variations over the period being looked at.
The process involves trying many different explanatory factors and weights, to find a combination that a) provides a robust statistical explanation of most of the recent donation variations and b) fits marketing common sense (we have seen examples of models that, although statistically robust, suggested that one's own advertising has a negative impact on sales!).
What goes in?
As we've established, the first step is to determine the dependent variable – the factor which we are trying to explain. The second step is working out what might influence that variable.
As with any analysis project, the key to a successful econometrics model is to ensure the robustness and validity of the data going in to it. Great care should be taken in collating all the potential drivers of donations for your charity (own and competitive marketing, seasonality, the weather, movements in economic indicators, etc) and identifying robust and measurable data sources for these factors. Marketing activity is usually straightforward and can be measured by spend or by impact/reach figures. Other variables such as PR and brand awareness might appear trickier to quantify but there are resources out there which can help to apply a measurable dataset to these factors.
In separating the effects of different variables it is essential that these variables follow different patterns or occur at different times. If all marketing activity takes place at the same time every month and to the same amount or degree, then it will be difficult to isolate the relative importance of each individual factor. It is fairly uncommon to see this – most marketing programmes have an innate variation built in to them, but for example if TV ads are on air constantly at the same levels then the model would have no experience of alternative levels to learn from.
A further important element of the project involves building a warehouse of various manipulations of the data which will help model interactions where the relationship is non-linear.
Adstock – this is a common way of treating advertising factors whereby they are given a weight depending on the recency of the advert, thereby allowing us to determine the rate of decay of advertising – people see advertisements and remember them but they are forgotten at a certain rate.
Lagged Variables – for many variables it is appropriate to assume the effect upon actual sales materialises one or more weeks after the actual event.
Logged Variables – this enables the identification of diminishing returns whereby higher levels of any given factor may impact donation levels less than lower levels – for example the incremental benefit of press advertising may start to diminish after a certain point.
Combined Variables – in some cases the presence of two (or more) specific factors is required together to influence donation levels – this allows for such relationships to be identified.
What comes out?
The outputs of your econometric model should reveal the relative contributions of each sales driver over the period of the model; weekly contributions of each sales driver; elasticities and coefficients of each sales driver; base level sales. Examples of typical output are shown below.
The elasticity will indicate the likely percentage change in sales for a 10% change in the driver. For example an elasticity of 0.1 for TV advertising would indicate an additional 1% sales from an additional 10% investment.
The co-efficient shows the unit gain in sales from a unit gain in the driver. So if TV had a coefficient of 44,000 this might indicate that each additional advert would provide an additional £44,000 in sales.
Knowing the value of the co-efficient enables us readily to calculate the ROI or profit from each marketing activity
Another useful output can be to show the base level of donations if all explanatory factors were set at zero – in other words if there was no advertising.
Looking to the future
Once the past performances have been understood, the model factors can be used to optimise marketing spend in the future. Identifying the true ROIs of all your activity will enable to you to increase spend in your best contributors, or to cut or reduce spend where returns are diminishing.
The knowledge you acquire from your model can help you to create scenario plans for different investment levels or different external environmental conditions. Knowing seasonal variations can help you build plan for different times of year, or change marketing spend to try to address any particular low points.
Here's a straightforward example of how an econometric model can feed into strategic planning. In a recent model built by Wood for Trees for a major art museum, we were able to show that their direct mail expenditure was actually having a 25% higher impact on membership sign-ups than their direct measurement had suggested. This knowledge enabled the museum to increase spend on direct mail to counteract a predicted reduction in walk-in sign-ups as a result of a forecast decline in visitor numbers to the museum.

The History of Leckford Estate
Leckford Estate was purchased as a private estate by John Spedan Lewis of Oxford Street in 1929; a visionary retailer with extensive knowledge of botany, entomology and aquatic life who later founded the John Lewis Partnership.
Spedan invested into the estate heavily during his lifetime, particularly in housing, farming mechanisation, partner welfare and the environment. The Estate stands as a legacy to Spedan Lewis' devotion to experimentation, partner happiness and the natural environment. Over the last 90 years, our involvement is in the heart of the Test Valley and is deeply connected with our history.
About Leckford Estate's History; a Timeline
1929 - Spedan Lewis brought Leckford Estate. The original estate was c.1800 acres and Spedan's home was Leckford Abbess, which later became known as Leckford Abbas.
1930s - Improvement was carried out on the Estate, this included the development of sustainable farming operations. Later, a bird farm was established and the first copy of the Leckford Gazette was published.
1937 - The first Leckford camp was introduced (a facility for retail working partners to holiday). This holiday provision remains on the Estate, even today.
1940s - The Estate expanded into Longstock. Spedan Lewis moved from Leckford to Longstock House and spent much of his time improving the Water Gardens. The farm continued to produce food for the Waitrose shops and a substantial part of the Leckford side of the estate was commandeered as an airfield for the War effort.
1946 - The Estate became integrated into the partnership, and the staff of Leckford Estate became Partners and the Leckford Branch Council was established.
1955 - Spedan Lewis retires and moves into a small house on the Estate. The farm continues to develop the types of produce grown on the estate.
2001 - The Leckford Estate becomes part of the Waitrose trading division and officially becomes the Waitrose Farm.
Leckford Estate Heritage
For over 90 years we have been farming on Leckford land, and are proud of our heritage. We have adapted and modernised our farming practices to ensure the produce we supply to Waitrose & Partners is of fantastic quality, produced in a sustainable way.
We sell our produce at Leckford but also as ingredients within other Waitrose & Partners products using the Leckford name. The Estate is so much more than a farm; modern Leckford is about celebrating our diversity, ensure we enhance our Waitrose & Partners brand by being the Waitrose & Partners farm and farming ethically.
The legacy of John Spedan Lewis' vision continues to live on at Leckford Estate from the foundation that he built in the John Spedan Lewis Trust.

Long‐range proton conduction across free‐standing serum albumin mats
Advanced Materials Wiley‐VCH Verlag 28 (2016) 2692-2698
Free‐standing serum‐albumin mats can transport protons over millimetre length‐scales. The results of photoinduced proton transfer and voltage‐driven proton‐conductivity measurements, together with temperature‐dependent and isotope‐effect studies, suggest that oxo‐amino‐acids of the protein serum albumin play a major role in the translocation of protons via an "over‐the‐barrier" hopping mechanism. The use of proton‐conducting protein mats opens new possibilities for bioelectronic interfaces.

In the fierce battle to attract diners, restaurants like Applebee's and Chili's have a new weapon that's proving successful: the burger.
Long a mainstay in American cuisine, the burger has gained a new distinction. It has helped to fuel the first increase in lunch visits at casual dining chains in five years.
"I think they've stopped the bleeding a little bit," said Bonnie Riggs, a restaurant industry analyst at market research firm The NPD Group, about casual dining.
Casual restaurants saw a 2 percent rise in lunch visits for the year ended in June, compared to a 1 percent increase in visits at fast food restaurants, according to The NPD Group/CREST data. Overall casual dining visits are now flat after years of declines.
Burgers were a key part of casual dining's growth at lunch.
The number of burgers ordered at casual dining spots rose 3 percent during this time. While this still represents tepid growth, it was the only menu category to grow for the sector.

Meanwhile, burger servings at fast food restaurants were flat during the same period, in large part due to the overall weakness of the fast food burger restaurant category.
Its largest player, McDonald's, has struggled to keep customers coming back. The flat burger servings in fast food come as traditional chains double down their focus on both chicken and pork items—like McDonald's artisan grilled chicken and Wendy's pulled pork offerings.
As fast food shifts its focus to breakfast, too, some casual dining players are putting a laser focus on midday dining.
At Outback, lunch is a central part of the Bloomin' Brands' unit's strategy with items like the double burger. Earlier this month, its CEO Elizabeth Smith said the company is "delighted with the performance" at lunch, which launched nationwide this year.
Fellow casual dining chain Buffalo Wild Wings launched a system-wide lunch program called "B-Dubs Fast Break" in April and CEO Sally Smith told analysts last month it is performing well.
Read MoreMcDonald's just beat out other chains in new poll
Fresh from casual dining chains' test kitchens are burger varieties that are both more indulgent and innovative. Dine Equity's Applebee's unit is a prime example with its all-day brunch burger: bacon, onions, a fried egg, hash browns, American cheese and ketchup piled high on a bun. Another version comes topped with barbeque brisket, jalapenos, cheddar cheese and onions.
Introduced last year, Chili's sweet and smoky burger is similarly over the top with pepper jack cheese, bacon, panko onion rings, lettuce, tomato, mango-infused BBQ sauce & Chili's signature sauce.
It might seem counter-intuitive for casual dining restaurants to highlight burgers as beef prices remain elevated, but Riggs attributed burgers' strength in casual dining in part to customers choosing less expensive beef entrees.
"Yes, we have high beef costs," she said. "What people are doing is they're trading down on the menu. When they go to full-service restaurant, instead of having a steak, they're having a burger."

Yes, sushi does sound fancy, but it was convenient and is actually our favorite food. We split the bill in half when it came time to pay up so neither of us got saddled with a huge check.

Ever notice in this familiar picture of the main stairway of the J.M.WHITE that the stairs are not attached to the deck? If they were attached, as the boat vibrated and shuck, they would tare themselves apart. In the old days, when I worked on the BELLE, the stairs from the skylight to the hurricane deck were not bolted to the deck at the bottom for the same reason.
No announcement yet.

*J.M.WHITE stairs ''hanging free"*
Steamboating colleagues,
Jim, thanks for the above classic photo of the great "main stairway" of the J.M. WHITE. This photo shot well-known to some of us; possibly new to others. Again writer Will S. Hayes commented on the magnificent staircase in his big 'blow' article when the WHITE was finished. Capt. Fred Way, as mentioned earlier, also picked up the Hayes text in his 'blow' on the WHITE in his WAY'S PACKET DIRECTORY known to many. Though my copy sleeping down in Cincinnati, I recall the description of the staircase as being done in fine black walnut wood. Do you know how expensive $$ that much black walnut wood would command today even if you could get it? I may no doubt be mistaken, but I thought somebody years ago in the know [Fred Way?] made reference to the figure standing at the bottom of the stairs to the right in this field of view. Who out there remembers possibly hearing this and 'was' the male figure possibly one of Howard family members? Yes, the WHITE, and others like her, were one huge pile of lumber for sure. Way and Hayes both extolled in detail the many fine kinds of wood used in her construction from the best pine, oak, walnut, mahogany, rose wood, ebony etc.
Indeed, as you write, the main staircase was constructed, suspended to hang 'free' of the deck. Those big sidewheelers when 'working ahead' in shallow waters at times often not only "vibrated" but rose and fell in the hull with the working of the wheels. Wasn't this heaving called 'grasshoppering?' I'd assume the staircase no doubt 'suspended' by unseen metal rods. [?] But that just an idle speculation on my part. Fred Way and others commented on this.
My own late grandmother, born in 1874, rode later many of the sidewheelers on the Ohio River. She commented to me how "the decks rose and fell with a cracking sound in shallow waters." The boat she referred to was the classic MORNING STAR. She never mentioned the same experience on the last KATE ADAMS as the "ever lovin' KATE" had a metal hull. Yet, the big L&C LINE Str. CINCINNATI of 1924 did "rattle, shimmy, shake underway" at times. Well, what do I know? Great photo. This really makes Steamboats.org jump. Are there more? Cheers!

Summer: northern shores of might Lake Michigan until end of this week.
Woods Used In Steamboats.........................
I read an interview that Jim Howard gave a few years before his death in which the interviewer asked what kind of woods went into a steamboat. Jim said:
Hull....Oak, red & white
Under the boilers.....Cedar
(can't you just imagine how wonder that smelled all those fresh woods)
A boat builder had to be as much a lumber expert as a he was a steamboat expert. They had to know how to buy, store, saw, plane and mill wood. I often wondered how come in the pictures of the shipyard there was never any evidence of having to swell the hulls before launch nor pumping after the launch. In that same interview Capt. Jim said they were very careful about the moisture in the oak they planked the hull with. With just the right amount of moisture they didn't need to swell the hull. I believe that dictated to a great extent when the hull had to be launched and that's why you see boats in various states of completion when launched. They did as much as they could while the boat was on the ways before the hull planking got too dry.
But what do I know.
*Different woods on boats for different purposes*
Steamboating colleagues,
Jim, again thanks for your latest posting above in tandem with the J.M. WHITE RE: "Woods used in steamboats." Good that you were/are close to the Howard Steamboat Museum, talked with Loretta Howard back when you did, access to the records in the mansion. Jim Howard's interview runs in tandem with what our late Alan Bates wrote/spoke about having known Jim well. And you can bet each and every wood so chosen had its place and purpose--same as sailing vessels and others on our ocean coasts, Great Lakes.
You and Keith may recall a certain letter of 'complaint' sent to the Howards following completion of a steamboat I can't recall the name now. The owner strident in saying along the lines the "wood for the main deck not the right kind...'laid' the wrong way...prone to splitting." Other Howard records mention the big 'wood buying trips' to Kentucky, West Virginia etc. to find, purchase, mark, fell and haul the logs to the nearest stream for rafting down to Jeffersonville. The records also mention wood growing on the "sunny side and shady side of the hills and mountains...wood that had been 'wind shaken.'" 'First growth' wood preferred over second growth.
Right on about "moisture in oak." Historical studies, reconstructions of period buildings in England mention using then and now "right amount of moisture" [in oak] so those huge hammer beam ceilings would fit like a glove using wood pegs or now metal bolts--usually iron. Now, what more do you have to share with us? Again, what do I know?

HARGEISA (SoOHA) – The Somaliland government is urging farmers to plough their fields using oxen or donkeys to avoid missing the rainy season by waiting too long to hire one of the few available tractors for ploughing.
Farmers in Awdal and Maroodi Jeex regions in the northwest are being encouraged by the ministry of agriculture to use non-mechanised means of ploughing instead of missing the planting season altogether.
Mohamud Jibril Osman, a farmer in Jufada village, 50 km west of Gabiley, has been waiting for a tractor to prepare his two hectare farm where he plans to grow sorghum and maize.
The rains started here on 25 April, but since then Osman has been on the waiting list for a tractor and he fears the rain will stop before he gets service. The nearest tractor is in Banka Wajaale, 10 km away, and the waiting list is at least three weeks long.
Osman did not plant over the last four years because of similar delays in getting a tractor. Estimating when the rains will arrive has become more difficult due to climate change, adding to the challenges of efficient planning.
Osman is now reverting to ox ploughing in a bid to revitalize his farming income. He is currently being supported by his brother with $50 a month.
Tractors were introduced into this area in 2010. A tractor ploughs a hectare in three hours, while oxen take two days. The tractors are owned by private businessmen, who charge $25 to plough one hectare. Farmers book an appointment to have their land cultivated.
For various reasons, the demand for tractors hugely outstrips supply. There is only one tractor in Biyo-Ma'an, 45 km east of Hargeisa, serving 200 rain-fed farms that all require soil preparation around the same time.
Abdiqadir Mohamud, a farmer in Biyo-ma'an, told Radio Ergo that tractors are efficient and fast but prone to mechanical breakdowns. Last year, he planted nothing at all as he couldn't get a tractor in time for the rains. He is now reverting to ox-driven plough, a method he used to rely on years ago. The young oxen need to be trained and he will also need to buy extra equipment for ploughing.
The Somaliland government gave 500 oxen and 400 donkeys to local farmers in April 2018.
Abdiqani Hassan Abdi, the director of land, water, and farming at the ministry, said they are concerned about the drop in farm production because farmers have been missing the short window of time for preparing and planting their land. The ministry is, therefore, carrying out a campaign to encourage the farmers to use ox-ploughs.
The prices of maize and sorghum have doubled from 0.5 cents to one dollar per kilo over the past two years due to the drop in production. Abdiqani said changes in the climate pattern with unpredictable rains had exacerbated problems. Overall farm production has fallen by 45% over three years, he said.

Agencies (Qasioun) – The 3 Syrian refugees who helped the German police to catch "Jaber Al-Bakr" and hailed as "heroes" by Germany's media for their role in the arrest of Al-Bakr, denied any involvement in the plot, after Al-Jabr has claimed that the 3 refugees were part of the terrorism plan, according to the 3 syrians.
Before Al-Bakr found suicide in his cell in the prison, he claimed that the 3 Syrian refugees who provided him shelter after he escaped police capture, were a part of the terrorism plan, as a kind of revenge after they bound him with electric cable and held him in an apartment in the eastern German city of Leipzig after they realized he was wanted by the police.
Later, Al-Bakr hanged himself in his Leipzig prison cell on Wednesday, sparking a major political scandal, with the government in the state of Saxony refusing on Friday to hold an independent inquiry into the events surrounding the suicide.
Muhammed A, One of the 3 syrians told daily Bild "We did not know who he was, he wanted to take revenge on us from behind bars because we had turned him over to the police"
The prosecutor in Saxony, Klaus Fleischmann, said Thursday that he had no knowledge that the three were not part of the investigation into al-Bakr, adding that he had no idea where there were.
Saxony Justice Minister Sebastian Gemkow has repeatedly rejected suggestions that he should resign in the wake of al-Bakr's suicide, while federal Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said the death was a blow to the fight against terrorism.
Saxony's premier, Stanislaw Tillich, admitted on Friday that mistakes had been made in the handling of al-Bakr's incarceration but ruled out holding an independent inquiry into his death.

By: Sheana Ochoa
When I discovered I was pregnant one of my major concerns was how I was going to integrate my dog of twelve years into what I knew would be an all-consuming, twenty-four-seven, new life. Throughout the years, Chloe had trudged with me through my battles with depression, addiction, chronic illness; she'd been with me through two major relationships and their subsequent breakups, and while the men came and went, she remained steadfast, as dogs do.
This time there would be no man to contend with because I chose to have a baby on my own, but Chloe was still going to have to adjust to a love interest other than her. All through the first trimester of pregnancy, hunkered over the toilet with morning sickness (which is a misnomer; I was attached to that toilet day and night), Chloe would curl up on the bath mat like a silent Buddha assuring me, "this too shall pass."
Once I started feeling better I shifted into high gear preparing for the baby. I tuned into pregnancy podcasts, went to meetings with other choice moms, took prenatal yoga, became CPR certified, met with a lactation consultant, and read every book out there on pregnancy and parenting. One day I came home with my color chart and headed straight to the nursery, when I realized something was wrong. Chloe hadn't come to greet me with her usual booty-shaking-I-missed-you-so much dance. I found her in my room asleep on the bed. Instead of wondering what might be wrong with her, my first thought was on my baby. I had weighed the pros and cons of cosleeping with my baby and decided it would be a good idea as I planned to breastfeed. Chloe was going to have to get used to a doggy bed.
In retrospect I should have questioned Chloe's stark change of behavior. When does a dog not bolt to greet you when you get home? But when I saw her sleeping in the bed I only thought about how hard it would be to retrain her. She and I had been sharing my bed since she was a pup; we actually spooned, her backside curled into my belly, her long legs sprawled in front of her, my arms extended so my hands could cup her paws. In the end it only took a week for her to get used to her doggy bed, a little too used to it.
Towards the end of my pregnancy, with Braxton Hicks and swollen ankles, I spent evenings with my legs elevated watching movies. I would bring Chloe's doggy bed out to the living room so she could sprawl out. Sometimes I would call her up onto the couch to join me, but she ignored me. Did she know a baby was coming, or had I just neglected her so much she was getting used to the lack of attention? One day I walked into my room, full-bellied, arms loaded with shopping bags of baby gear, which I dropped, letting plop onto the floor with a loud thump. Chloe suddenly stood to attention; that's when I realized she had gone deaf. She hadn't been greeting me because she couldn't hear me when I got home.
Nothing went as planned after the baby was born. I became ill postpartum. After a month I had to give up breast-feeding because it was too physically taxing. I could barely walk across the room, and was mostly bedridden. I had to leave my home in Los Angeles and move in with my mother. I couldn't sleep with my son because I needed the rest to recuperate. After the third month of spending all day and night in bed, unable to even answer my own baby's cries, I began to lose my sense of self, my identity.
Chloe seemed to know she was allowed back in bed or maybe she sensed my desperation and sadness. My body had betrayed me and I could not take care of my baby. I spent many days crying, not from the physical pain of my condition, but from the fact that I wasn't bonding with my child. And there was Chloe. In my darkest hours, when I felt the most useless, it was my dog who kept me feeling like a human being. A year and half later our family of three is back in Los Angeles and although life with a toddler is hectic, I make sure I find time out every day to look Chloe in the eyes and thank her for always being there for me.

Photo from a fire ceremony during a physician retreat—The Flames of Trauma Need not Consume You
Home….for traumatized and burned out physicians
You've started to believe it's your fault. Reality check…it isn't! The traumatization of physicians often begins with training and continues in the workplace. Every aspect of your life is effected! Your sense of self becomes distorted. You aren't sure who you even are anymore and whether you can trust yourself. Life at home is stressful and complicated. You feel like you are never enough, no matter how much you try. All your peers seem to be doing just fine. You've come to believe that you are less smart, less resilient, less valuable than others around you. You are in trouble and you don't know where to get help.
