Get to know us in mundane and bizarre ways.
Our office consists of rough-around-the-edges revolutionaries - scattered between Bangalore and BR Hills, India. Morning coffee is a Pour Over brewed with beans from leftovers - samples of new coffees we are trying out. By the afternoon our bloom is more precise. The bakery next door makes the best eggs puffs ever so those are consumed as part of our refined coffee pairing experiments. In the early evenings as rain beats down on rain, a chart paper is fashioned on to the tabletop. Mind maps are drawn, redrawn and reviewed. Where are we going and how can we get there in the most democratic way?
The idea of Black Baza Coffee did not come from us at all. It came from coffee growers themselves and it was the idea of creating a local, participatory and meaningful movement for coffee - starting with India and hopefully elsewhere as well. The idea of Black Baza Coffee holds within it a want for an alternative - a production and market system which values producers and nature equally.
For those amidst us, a four-year research project led to the realisation that coffee markets are structured in ways that undermine the wellbeing of farmers and forests. This is true even for contemporary sustainability mechanisms - which are, on paper, designed to tackle social and environmental inequities, but in reality achieve little. The uneven power structure of coffee value chains and the inherent limitations of existing sustainability mechanisms is what emboldened us to create Black Baza Coffee, a movement that attempts to reconstruct marketplaces such that coffee as a commodity is re-embedded in place, people and ecology.
Quite simply, our work is two-staged - first we co-imagine a sustainable future with coffee growing communities and then we interconnect producers to consumers through telling stories on a community-supported agriculture marketplace.
This means that Black Baza Coffee is not solely a trading organisation but an enabling one.
Keen to join the movement?
We work with any coffee grower, retailer, wholesaler, small or large institution or individual who wants to hop on board our movement for biodiversity-friendly coffee.
As of December 2017, our grassroots involvement with coffee growers is located in BR Hills and Kodagu in Karnataka, India. If you are a coffee grower in India or elsewhere keen on working with us, do please write to us at [email protected].
Arshiya did her PhD on the political ecology of markets for biodiversity conservation from Cambridge University. She has studied sustainability certifications in coffee for over 6 years. Her research findings led to her founding Black Baza Coffee. She travels nowhere without her Aeropress.
Jacintha is an alumnus of Parikrma Humanity Foundation. She joined Black Baza Coffee when we were still operating from our founder's rooftop. Jacintha handles orders and operations.
Sannarangegowda is our community and farmer engagement anchor in BR Hills. His work extends to all activities concerning the farmer-producer organisation.
Karthik is an architect, designer and design thinker. When not coffee-ing, he is bag-making (http://portmanteau.in). Karthik is also one of the founding members of Coffee Grounds.
Renuka likes pour-overs with a dash of milk. She is coffee prep queen.

I've only recently started playing with eBay. I'd known all about it, but never used, knowing my proclivity for spending. But I have started using it. I thought it would be nice to get my girl a new mobile phone. I thought one of those Nokia N93's would be cool so I tracked one down. And then the stupidity commenced.
Picture on item: matches phone.
Description: mostly matches phone.
Actual item: a CD with crap on it for this type of phone.
Bid: $8.33
Shit. Wrong item. The images on the page, the general thread of the description mention in an obtuse way that this is for a CD not a phone. I didn't read it carefully enough and *bang* bid on a piece of crap I'll probably never use.
I congratulate the seller - the ad was well crafted and hit the right notes to make it seem like it was a phone I was bidding on. I especially like that in the eBay categories the CD is in the "Mobile Phone" section. Very nice. I'll remember this for the future. I'm just glad it wasn't a more expensive bungle and at the end of the day, I have to take responsibility for my poor decision. Ah well, c'est la vie.

The question is SMO or SEO better is like asking are apples tastier than oranges. Both are essential techniques of online marketing that can boost the business prospects of small as well as large enterprises. They complement each other from the two main pillars of digital marketing. As a user, you can test SEO and SEM to know how they are able to increase the rankings of the website. To further analyze the two strategies, let's find out how each one benefits the digital marketing space.
SEO is termed as search engine optimization strategy that works by improving the search engine rankings of the website. The trick is to design the pages and content in such a manner that the visitors find your site on the Google search engine listings. Information provided on the website should be relevant to the niche being promoted in the online space.
As far as SMO is concerned, it involves the setting up and the optimization of the social profiles. If properly created, they are bound to grab as many eyeballs as possible. All contents that are posted on the social media websites can be shared in an instant. Therefore, any idea of relevance can instantly go viral with the Facebook and Twitter account.
It is at the social media profile that the customers can engage with the companies. They can complain or praise the quality of the products and services. A Higher degree of customer engagement can be quite rewarding for the businesses as they can increase the clients base without any hassles. SMO the marketing strategy of the social media can make you an overnight sensation and also improve the search engine rankings by many notches.
• Google Panda has undergone a strict update in recent times; hence quality is in and unethical SEO practices would result in an immediate ban from the search engine listing. Companies that are engaging with the users and uploading only relevant information on the social media can improve their Google rankings very quickly.
• Social media plays a vital role in improving the visibility of the businesses. Google is the owner of different channels such as Youtube and Google +. If the content is figuring prominently on those sites, it will naturally get higher ratings by the Search engine. Microsoft, Yahoo, and Twitter are also collaborating with each other to enhance the rankings of the content on Bing search engine listings.
• Twitter links are grabbed by the Search engine partners to display content high on the listings. Therefore, links can be posted on the Twitter to increase the web traffic. You can run Google analytic on the website and find that majority of hits are from the visitors of the Twitter.
• Businesses can create a profile on the Facebook and make it popular among the users. You may end up with a large number of followers and plenty of activities such as engaging posts, liking and commenting. If played rules, the website can easily climb to the top of the search engine listings.
• Search Plus option of Google goes a long way in ranking the content of the web page. It depends on the quality of the information and also the degree of the visibility. An advertiser should make sure to upload the content on prominent social media websites.
• One of the best ways to catch the attention of the users is to launch YouTube videos pertaining to the products and services that are to be promoted. 9 out of 10 times it will be noticed by the Google search engine crawler.
• Gone are the days when only SEO was essential to optimize the website. In the fast changing world of business, the Google search engine immediately recognizes the social signals. For instance, if a post has a maximum number of shares, tweets, likes, and comments, the chances of it getting into the top of Google are fairly high.
• Google Panda has stipulated that only high-quality content would be indexed, so make sure to share only the high-quality posts on Facebook and other social media platforms.
• You should identify the groups on social platforms that might be interested in ideas, products, and services. Targeted marketing strategy will do a whirl of Good to the business prospects. By engaging in meaningful discussions, one can inculcate a general level of interest.
• Companies relaying on business to business deals may find not find Facebook to their advantage. In fact, Twitter would be far effective in such situations. For a business to customer's relationship, Facebook and Instagram are the ways to move forward. By launching a live profile, you can create a huge fan base that could be later transformed into genuine customers. They would increase the search engine rankings of the website in a quick and effective manner.
• The majority of social media sites have imposed technical constrains on the type of information that can be presented on the search engine listings. If you are not an SMO expert, contact the one and learn how to circumvent the restriction to figure in the top of the listings.
• It is not longer feasible to use the keyword only on the web page and wait for results. On the contrary, the same sets of keywords are required to be used on social media channels to increase engagement with the prospective customers.
• Another factor of Social media that has caught the interest of the crawlers is the geo-tagging of the content. Businesses are now able to target the customers based on the location; therefore small companies servicing a local area can improve their own chances of visibility in the real world.
• Last but not the least SMO plays an important role in generating quality backlinks to the website. It is a far better way than posting the websites on directories of dubious nature around the internet.
By reading the points as mentioned earlier, one can conclude that both SEO and SMO cannot work in isolation. They are both essential to launch effective online campaigns to boost the business sales within the shortest possible time frame.

Any way you look at it, it's hard to admire Mitt Romney's decision to start panning the debt-ceiling deal, not when a statement of his opinion might have made a difference, but only after it was signed into law.
Romney isn't the first moderate Republican politician to stick a finger resolutely into the wind to figure out how to secure the toleration of the party's base. George H.W. Bush clearly did that when he said, with now-evident insincerity: "Read my Lips. No new taxes!" And John McCain did the same thing in 2007-8 when he suddenly developed a new-found appreciation of supply-side economics.
But the comparison between Romney, on the one hand, and Bush and McCain, on the other, is unfair—and not to Romney. H.W. Bush was national-security-Republican who regarded fiscal policy as a tiresome distraction from the more important business of promoting American national interests in the international arena. McCain may have been ready to change his stripes on taxes and immigration overnight, but he'd walk off an electoral cliff rather than cut and run from an on-going military engagement. The equivocations of Bush and McCain are explained by a tactical decision on their part to affect the priorities of the Republican base so that they'd be in a position to serve the priorities they'd embraced throughout long and distinguished political careers.
What, other than being president, really matters to Romney? We know that it's not abortion and health care reform. The interesting thing is that he's doing his level best not to tell us, apparently on the theory that all we need to know is that he's not Obama. That would strike me as an unlikely strategy for winning the presidency if Obama hadn't gotten so much mileage out of not being Hillary Clinton and George W. Bush in the last election cycle.

I have been so in love with my highlighter; Mary-Lou Manizer by The balm for the longest time that I never cared to try any other highlighter… But with great sadness I hit pan on the Mary-Lou Manizer 😦
So I decided it was time for me to venture out and try a new highlighter, I picked up MAC mineralize skin finish in soft and gentle as I had heard some good things about the product.
I am one of those girls who LOVES themselves a good highlight and do go a little over the top sometimes and end up looking like a disco ball…. oops hehe.
I love the packaging of MAC products – Black with silver writing. I think its simple yet sophisticated. I also love the window compact so you are able to see the gorgeous highlighter.
It cost me $47 and contains 10g of product 🙂
When I first swatched the highlighter I knew it was the beginning of a beautiful friendship 😉 haha. The product is extremely pigmented so a little goes a long way!
The colour is described as a "gilded peach bronze" and is a warm tone. There is also a champagne colour mixed through. The highlighter comes off as a frosted sheen on the skin (super stunning).
This highlighter gives your skin such a healthy glow and really does look amazing on, just make sure to apply with a light hand as I mentioned before its extremely pigmented! It also goes with any makeup look you create and is suited for all skin tones.
I cant believe I didn't have this product in my collection until now?! I am sorry to say Mary-Lou but you have been replaced… My new holy grail highlighter is now Mac mineralize skin finish; soft and gentle.
If you don't already own this highlighter then girl you are missing out! Get onto it now 🙂
Thank you so much for reading and I hope you enjoyed this post.
Head over to my Instagram and follow me as there is something very exciting happening tomorrow for all my followers!
Also I have now created a Facebook page for my blog – One Girls Obsessions
Much love,

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
After old-school "mobb" groups like the Click began fizzling out on mainstream radio, West Coast artists grew less media-friendly: The next wave of Northern Cali gangstas (including Messy Marv, Guce, and Killa Tay) seemed considerably more homicidal than their antecedents. Yet as their themes got darker, their commercial viability also plummeted.
Recently, mobb MCs have begun stepping up their game to create funkier, hitworthy beats, verbally inventive rhymes, and tracks with higher replay value. Gangsta Without the Rap, the latest release from Bullys wit Fullys -- duo Guce and Killa Tay -- is arguably the most ambitious mobb rap album of the year, next to San Quinn's hit-oriented I Give You My Word and Frontline's Bootleg series. Save for the guy holding an M-16 on the back cover, it's overall a happy sequel to the group's prior West Side Stories, on which BWF posed with hockey masks. The Gangsta single, "What It Do" (featuring Keak da Sneak), is a brilliant homage to a favorite regional expression. Peppered with signature gurgles and growls and set to a grimy, boom-bap track with a looped flute on the hook, it's the most infectious song currently playing on KMEL's Chop Shop.
Messy Marv, who also is jockeying for play on Top 40 radio, also has adopted a more commercial sensibility on his new album, Disobayish. Known for the likable firecracker hits "That's What's Up" and "Baby," the album mostly foregrounds his adolescent sexual fantasies and wanton braggadocio. Productionwise, it steers more in the direction of mainstream "crunk" music than the traditional gangsta fare of glacial beats overlaid with gunfire and sirens. While the singles are funky enough, the best track on Disobayish is actually Marv's more politically abhorrent ditty, "Stop Callin'," featuring E-40.
If KMEL's continual lip service to the "New Bay" is any indication, West Coast artists are bringing more depth to their music, and broadening the scope of what you can talk about -- if only to up their sales tallies by a few thousand. Still, the core values of mobb rap will never change: Messy Marv and Bullys wit Fullys still take delight in rapping about the most reprehensible behavior possible.

Discussion in 'General Gallery' started by philwms, Jun 8, 2006.
a portrait...
With #1 the people setting in the background really hurt the shot IMO, I would crop it square on the left side, also did you try a B&W version
#2 - Im not strong with portrait myself, I think it need a little cropping on the top and the leaves need a little adjusting
I think the "dismembered" mannequins alongside the very normal couple with their dog makes for a shocking and bizarre contrast -- very arresting. This could be one of those pictures where viewers are challenged to come up with clever captions. Good job.
Jeff... I'm afraid I can not agree with you... The figures in the background are as important to this picture as the mannequins are... And what about the great dane? A picture like this is dream-like and evocative to my way of thinking. When I'm out with my camera, I look for them... seek them out.
I did make some changes to the portrait, some adjustments in color and added some space to the left side so that the plant could be displayed fully.
bburton ... Thanks for looking. I think you get it...

Martha Kent & Perry White...Supercouple?
by Damian Holbrook
May 07, 2010 02:31 PM EST
Real-life marrieds Annette O'Toole and Michael McKean return to Smallville tonight to reprise their roles as Martha Kent and Perry White. Fittingly, they resurface with a romantic twist in tow, since it's clear these two love each other, love to laugh, and love their place in the Superman universe.
Welcome back!
Michael McKean: Thank you very much.
How did they pitch this to you guys?
Annette O'Toole: [Executive producers] Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson called me, and I'd heard that there was some interest in bringing Martha back, but I said 'you know, I really don't want to.' The last two years, I've been devoting myself to theater work. And they said 'oh please, here's our story.' And I hemmed and hawed, did another play, and then they came back and sent me an outline for what they had planned. And then when they said they wanted to bring Michael back, I thought 'well, this would be fun. That could be a nice week in Vancouver.' And mostly, they worked me hard, which was the best part! We had a great time. They wrote a wonderful script, I worked a ton and so did Michael. It was really fun to go back and really work, rather than be frustrated by just serving the coffee.
And to bring you back as couple, is such a cool twist!
O'Toole: Semi-couple! [Laughs]
How did they meet?
O'Toole: Well, Martha and Perry have a longer history than anyone thinks. When Perry first came to the farm, I had this whole idea—I can't even remember if I pitched it to [former EPs] Al Gough and Miles Millar—that Martha had a crush on Perry when she was in college, that he had come through as this dashing, Pulitzer-prize winning journalist and I had taken a lecture of his or something. So when he came to the farm the first time, I knew who he was. There would be this pull. But we never had any scenes together, which I thought was not very nice! [Laughs] So now in this episode I say to Tom [Welling, who plays Clark] early on that we ran into each other at some committee meeting. And I have a feeling that I was the one who approached him…it's not a "relationship" relationship. It's more of a "let's see what happens."
And Michael, we've been waiting for Perry White to return, since the Daily Planet is practically a character on the show now. Do you get to have those kind of great, iconic newsroom moments with Lois and Clark?
McKean: Well, it's more of a domestic kind of thing. The first time we see them together is at the dinner table, and here's this surprise couple of Clark's mom and this odd ex-drunk he helped rescue from the garbage pail…and they're together? It's more of an in-home thing than anything iconically Superman.
But you do get to the Daily Planet, right?
McKean: Oh we get to the Daily Planet, absolutely!
O'Toole: And you're working together there, with Lois.
McKean: That's right. Lois [Erica Durance] and I hook-up for this story and I got to be at the office there. It's fabulous. I have this nice kind of moment where I'm walking up the stairs and it's kind of like, 'Someday, I'll be the editor of the Daily Planet.'
Is that groundwork set down in this episode?
McKean: Oh no, this is just what the actor is thinking. And like most actors, I know nothing! [Laughs]
Now, Annette, Brian and Kelly told me that this Martha returns 'having evolved herself.'
O'Toole: Yes, she has. You know, it's been two years and she has thrown herself in to this work because she's devastated by the loss of her husband. So she's really turned to the job…which is something she probably should have done all along, she should have had something like this to do. And she talks about that in this episode. She has some really nice moments with Lois where they discuss that. Yes, this Martha's uh…hmmm, what can I say?
So she also has a secret side that we're not aware of yet.
O'Toole: You know, Martha has always had sort of a secret side. She's had to cultivate one because of this huge secret about her son. But that doesn't mean you're [dramatic voice] 'a bad person.' It just means you have stuff you're protecting.
McKean: Another secret is that Martha has been putting hashish in all of her baked goods.
O'Toole: [Laughs] Mikey!
How was it working with Tom and Erica again?
O'Toole: It was fabulous. More fun than ever, especially having gone two years not even seeing or talking to them. So to come back and fall into each other's arms? We really had a good time. Our first scene was all four of us together around the dinner table…it almost felt like no time had passed. They don't look any different, except that I love Erica's hair. I love that she has dark hair now.
McKean: Yeah!
O'Toole: It's her own color now. I'm my own color, too, although it happens to be mostly white. [Laughs]
So you have a lot to do in this episode.
McKean: We sure do!
O'Toole: We loved it.
I hear you stir up enough trouble that your storyline impacts the finale.
O'Toole: We do? [Laughs]
McKean: Guess we'll see!
Do they bring up the Valentine's Day phone call Martha got from Lois about the wedding dress?
O'Toole: It's not the dress itself we talk about, it's an announcement that was in the newspaper about an engagement. And I say to Perry 'oh no, we weren't going to talk about that.'
Michael, did you shoot any scenes with Allison Mack?
McKean: No, she was actually among the many people I didn't get to see. I mostly work with Erica, but also with Tom. And I had such a nice time working with him. He's just one of those guys who's really friendly, and when push comes to shove, incredibly hard-working and talented. He's effortless, it's great.
What is the intrigue that surrounds your returns?
McKean: Well, it's this big, big, big story I am working on that seems to dovetail with the story that Lois is working on. And we just start comparing notes and thinking in terms of pooling our resources on this one…share that Pulitzer. [Laughs] It's that kind of Woodward-and-Bernstein investigative journalism. Of course, we're in the realm of fantasy, so we're ripping the lid off of renegade aliens rather than duplicitous politicians.
Aside from the identity of her son, is there anything else Martha may be hiding from Perry?
O'Toole: Oh yeah.
Something his investigation may expose?
O'Toole: All these things you're thinking are very smart. [Laughs]
McKean: I can tell you this: Rosebud is a sled.
Were you surprised to come back and see that they have gotten so close to the Superman story?
McKean: No, that's kind of where it has to be headed. I grew up in the 50-s and was a big comic-book reader. My Superman…this is not your father's Superman, as the Oldsmobile commercials used to say. But comic-book reality is like Silly Putty, it can be whatever you want it to be. I don't think that Siegel and Shuster are turning over in their graves. I think they'd like the idea of expanding. And I happen to know a lot about the old-time history of Superman—for instance, did you know that Kryptonite was invented for the Superman radio show?
McKean: Yes. It wasn't in a comic until it worked as a device on the radio show. Every age has their own Superman. Or Batman. It's meant to be current, it's meant to be new, even though it's old.
O'Toole: And it should be. That's what attracted me to the show in the first place. I grew up with Superman, too. I loved Superman. And of course, I was in the movie…so when I read about Smallville, I thought 'oh no, are they going to do this again?' Then I saw the pilot, because I wasn't in the original pilot, and I thought 'oh my god, I'm doomed…I have to be a part of this!' I just love it, and I love that we have this wholly America hero.
And you guys got to play such iconic roles in the mythology, I mean, Perry White is the Daily Planet. And Annette, you're the mother of Superman. That is so cool!
O'Toole: That's right!
McKean: It is, it's great. It makes me feel better about not getting to play Muhammad Ali in that movie. [Laughs]

BRYAN Robson believes the quicker Albion secure Premiership survival the more likely they are to guarantee the permanent capture of Chris Kirkland.
The goalkeeper, who is on a season-long loan from Liverpool, has already expressed a wish to remain at the club when his current spell finishes at the end of this season.
But Robson is realistic enough to know Albion's hopes will rest on whether to stay up or not.
"It is a real positive side for us that Chris wants to stay," said Robson. "It means Chris is enjoying the club and we certainly enjoy his goalkeeping.
"He gets on really well with Joe Corrigan (goalkeeping coach), is a real hard worker and is a great age where he can only get better.
"Hopefully we can make that decision earlier than in the summer but the only way we can do that is if we climb the league and know where we are going to be next season.
"The quicker we get safe, the better. "If you know where you will be the following season, you can start your plans, but if you are struggling to the last game, you can't make any decisions until the season is over.
"Chris is happy around the place but for him to come out and say he'd love to stop here is great for me and the team and the club.
"I would like to keep him if we are in the Premier League."
The Baggies boss has already made his decision as to who will play in goal for Albion in tomorrow's clash against Manchester City - but has yet to inform the chosen goalkeeper.
He must decide whether to recall fit-again Kirkland or keep faith with Tomasz Kuszczak, who has kept clean sheets in his last two matches at The Hawthorns.
"It's a nice problem to have," added Robson. "I'd sooner have that problem than Chris being injured - I know who I will be playing, but I haven't told that player yet."
Robson also welcomes back Kevin Campbell into tomorrow's squad, but Kanu is still a doubt.
The Nigerian is rated at '75-25' by Robson, while Zoltan Gera is also back in full training although tomorrow's game will come too soon for the Hungarian.

Advisory Panel Presents National-Test Plan to Bush
Washington--Members of the President's advisory committee on education policy met with him last week and presented majority support for a proposal to create national standards and tests to measure student performance.
Mr. Bush met with the panelists for 50 minutes at the White House on Thursday, the same day as the start of Operation Desert Storm.
William T. Brock, the former U.S. Secretary of Labor and a panel member, said that the President was "very interested" in the proposal and "asked a lot of questions," but that he made "no commitments."
Panel members have been moving toward support for some type of national examination system over the past several months. The meeting with Mr. Bush marked the latest stage in that effort. (See Education Week, Dec. 5, 1990.)
The panelists' discussion with the President included a dissenting view presented by Joe Nathan, a senior fellow at the Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota. Mr. Nathan has argued that the creation of a national testing system would be a "serious mistake" and cost too much money.
The panelists' oral presentation to the President was based on a "discussion draft" that will be revised and sent to Roger B. Porter, the White House domestic-policy adviser, within the next few weeks.
The draft, presented by the panel's chairman, Paul H. O'Neill, chief executive officer of the Aluminum Company of America, calls for the creation of high, national standards in the areas of English, mathematics, science, history, geography, reasoning, and problem-solving skills. Such standards--to be developed with "maximum consensus" among experts in the field--would define the skills and knowledge to be learned at various ages and grade levels, beginning at age 9.
The draft urges the President, working with the governors, to "facilitate" the definition of the new standards, which would be as high as any worldwide.
In addition, it calls on him to "cause to be developed" at least two tests that would reflect the standards. "Existing tests appropriately modified to measure the new standards and yield comparable data might also be appropriate," it states.
The plan also urges Mr. Bush to create and issue a "regular report'' that would inform parents and school officials on how well existing state tests reflect the new national standards.
Once such standards are devised, the document notes, a campaign by businesses, the public sector, and other interest groups should be mounted to help promote them.
During his meeting with the panelists, Mr. Bush also asked questions about the effect of school-choice programs on low-income children and those from broken homes.
In the past few weeks, rumors have been circulating that the Administration will propose new federal funding to help promote school choice in its budget for fiscal year 1992, perhaps as part of a revised Educational Excellence Act. Final decisions have not been made on the specifics of the proposal, according to Administration sources.
Some have even suggested that the President might highlight school choice in his State of the Union Message. But White House sources said last week that it was impossible to predict what would go into that message, particularly given the war in the Persian Gulf.
During another part of the meeting, apart from the session with the President, panelists were asked to present their views on education activities that Mr. Bush might pro mote in the coming year.
Several panelists were remarkably candid about Mr. Bush's lapsed image as the nation's educational leader.
"The President, in my opinion, needs to re-establish himself as the 'education President,"' said Modesto Maidique, president of Florida International University, referring to Mr. Bush's 1988 campaign pledge to assume that role.
"There is more humor associated with him being the education President than admiration," Mr. Maidique said, "and somehow he has to re gain credibility."
Among other steps, panelists recommended that Mr. Bush devote a significant share of his State of the Union Message to education; identify more clearly what the federal government can do in terms of incentives, money, and policy; initiate greater collaboration on behalf of children among the Secretaries of Health and Human Services, Education, and Labor; and begin to focus more on the process for meeting the national education goals established last February.
"We need to look right now beyond the bully pulpit," said Marvin L. Esch, president of The Communications Group in Ann Arbor, Mich., and another panel member. "We ought to begin to have the President focus on the process."
Mr. Maidique also suggested that Mr. Bush needs to regain some round with members of the minority community, particularly blacks and Hispanics.
"The President's credibility has been strained by the entire scholar ship fiasco," he said, referring to the controversial moves by the Education Department to curtail race-exclusive college grants. That view was shared by several other members. Panelists praised the President for nominating former Gov. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee as the next Secretary of Education. Mr. Alexander, who is a member of the panel, attended most of the meeting but refrained from making many comments in light of his upcoming confirmation hearings.

In the Ottoman empire, bodily hygiene was intrinsically linked to religious worshipping and meditation. According to the Koran only natural water can purify. For this purpose the Ottomans used the public baths (Hammam), spreading thus this practice over the whole territory. Likewise, in Chania, during the Ottoman reign, public and private baths were built.
One of these Hammams situated on 35 Chalidon street in Chania. It is a domed 17th century building which, since 2002, has been transformed into a clothes department. While clothes used to be uneccessary in this building, today it has become a meeting point for Greek fashion designers of every field.

You might recognise Abbey Lee, excuse the Kershaw, as that Melbourne face who won Australia's prestigious Girlfriend Model Search in 2004 and went on to grace countless high-fashion runways and Vogue covers over the last decade. Forget that, because Abbey Lee's new career path as an actress, although in its early days, is astounding, and if she's going to be recognised for anything it's that. Not because her work as a model wasn't insanely applaudable, but because, after sitting down with the girl herself, we get the overwhelming feeling that the modelling industry just wasn't where she wanted to be.
theFashionSpt: You go by Abbey Lee now, no Kershaw. Why did you decide to take away your last name?
Abbey Lee: I like the sound of it, I like the look of it. I like it. It's been very difficult, though. People keep printing my fucking last name, it's very hard. People don't listen. When I first started modelling as a 16-year-old it was always supposed to just be "Lee" and not "Kershaw". My first comp card as a model only had "Lee", but eventually media find out and it just kind of ruined it, really.
tFS: So it wasn't a name change because of your new acting career?
AL: No, it was supposed to be that as a model too and it never happened. Now that I have more control over my own image than you do as a model I guess it's just being pushed more for people to actually listen.
tFS: Are you finding a lot of people are calling you a "slashie" now that you're a model-turned-actress, and how do you feel about the term?
AL: I don't pay attention to people who call me that [a slashie]. I think it's bizarre that people decide to focus on your past and your present and say that it's turned into something. I haven't turned into anybody. I just made a different choice. I've just changed directions in my career path and in my passion path. I don't know, you can call me a slashie if you want.
tFS: Do you want people to eventually forget about your modelling career and just say you're an actress?
AL: I don't mind people bringing it up because it was a big part of my life and it's what got me to acting so I don't have a bad taste in my mouth with it. As long as I'm being respected and noticed for the work that I'm doing as an actress, then I don't mind how they take the modelling part of it.
tFS: Do you think being a model has helped or hindered your acting career?
AL: It depends on who's approaching me and what they're approaching me for. For the most part I think that it's been a benefit because generally, before I had any films, I'd walk into a room and for the most part they're expecting the worst, so all I had to do was a mediocre job at the least and impress.
tFS: Why do you think people are "expecting the worst"?
AL: Because of the stigma of models being, I don't know, braindead. I just think that there's a stigma that models are generally seen and not heard. It's kind of shocking that they have half a brain or skill at something other than posing.
tFS: Are you still modelling?
AL: Only as an actress. I don't do anything that an actress wouldn't do, like campaigns and covers. My choices are different. I'm not a full-time model, I just model for what I have to do.
tFS: If you were to stop modelling altogether, what's one thing you would miss?
AL: The money, and that's about it.
tFS: What's one thing you would never miss? Something that you're happy to say goodbye to?
AL: That's such a long list. The no-union policy. There's absolutely no protection of models and I think that's rubbish. I like being treated like a protected human being as an actress.
tFS: Your latest film, Ruben Guthrie, is an Aussie production, what was it like to work with local talent from your home country?
AL: It was really important to me to be involved with an Australian production because I think that Australian film can be really interesting and has done really well in the past. Good Australian films are really brilliant. I really wanted to be a part of it. It's just nice to work with Aussies in film. It was a new experience, I enjoyed it.
tFS: You play Zoya in the film, Ruben's fiancée. Was there anything about this role that you could personally relate to from your own life experience?
AL: I have, in the past, made some bad decisions when it comes to men. I've dealt with difficult men before.
tFS: Ruben Guthrie also makes a point of drinking being a big part of Australian culture. Having lived in Australia and abroad yourself, do you think this is true and why do you think it is the case?
AL: I think it's unfair to assume that we're the only culture that have this problem. I've travelled a lot and from what I can see it's true of every country. The French love their wine, the British love their cider. It seems to be common within most cultures. I think drinking in general around the world is like an epidemic.
tFS: You play a model in the movie, which you can obviously relate to. How was it to not be able to completely detach from your life as a model in this role?
AL: She just doesn't actively model in the film. The idea is that she's a model, she's not actively a model and in terms of detaching I don't think that you should ever fully detach yourself. As much as you'd like to hear that, you delve straight into a character and you can't find yourself anymore, it's still physically and mentally you as a human being so I think I just saw it as a benefit that I'd had a similar background to her.
tFS: Has anyone in the fashion industry, like models or designers, reached out to you after seeing your acting work about possibly heading down the same path?
AL: I haven't seen her for a long time but I had a conversation with Joan Smalls who's interested in acting. I love the girl, I hope it works out for her.
tFS: What would your dream acting role be?
AL: Some of my favourites roles are the the girls in Girl Interrupted, Helena Bonham Carter in Fight Club. But then also Cate Blanchett in Lord of the Rings. I'd like to play witches and elves and I'd like to play a drug addict and a prisoner. I've got different interests.
tFS: Who would be a dream director to work with?
AL: I'd love to work with Harmony Korine. I'd love to work with Quentin Tarantino. All the greats that are still alive.
tFS: What's coming up for Abbey Lee? Any exciting projects you can share with us?
AL: Currently I'm just auditioning. There's a lot of auditioning happening at the moment. Obviously in August in America everything shuts down. Right now there's just a lot of auditioning happening and there's a few things in the pipeline. Whether one of them comes through or not, you know, hopefully I'm working at the end of the year but currently I'm not sure.
tFS: We heard you were moving to LA. Has that happened yet?
AL: I moved to LA about six months ago. By myself, I'm a terrible roommate.
tFS: How are you finding it so far?
AL: I love it. It's good. I lived in New York for a long time so it's a nice change.
tFS: Can we ever expect to have you back in Australia?
AL: I don't really make plans to be honest. I really, really can't say, it depends where my life takes me.
Ruben Guthrie hits Australian cinemas from July 16.

Adolf Hitler The Fuehrer
Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889 in Braunau, Austria, Soon after Hitler's birth, Hitler, moved to Linz, Austria. Hitler attended school in Linz and Hitler was a bad student. Raised in the lower class at the time Hitler was an outcast , Adolf was a big disapointment to his father due to his poor grades. Hitlers dad wanted him to become a government employee but, Hitler, wanted to become an artist. This goal of his was never achieved in his lifetime.
In 1907, Hitler went to Vienna Austria. He sat for a entrance exam to get into art school but failed the entrance exam. Adolf was heartbroken by this decision and when Hitler's mother committed suicide in 1907, he decided to remain in Vienna. He took the entrance exam for The Academy of Fine Arts a year later and failed again. He did not have steady work in Vienna, but, instead, took a variety of odd jobs. After failing to make it into art school he felt no need to go to college. He lived in cheap rooming houses or slept on park benches and he often had to get meals from charity kitchens. During his time in Vienna Hitler learned to hate non-Germans. Hitler was a German-speaking Austrian and considered himself German. It is also believed that Hitler grew his hate for Jewish people from his life on the streets.
From living on the streets as an outcast Adolf developed radical ideas about how people should not be treated equally and how democracy was not beneficial to society.In 1913, Hitler went to Munich, Germany and when World War I began in 1914 Hitler joined the German army. Hitler was awarded while in the armory for his courage and at the end of the war he was a Corporal. When World War I ended. Hitler was in a hospital recovering from temporary blindness possibly caused by a poison gas attack. When the army returned to Germany. the country was in despair. The country was bankrupt and millions of people were unemployed.
In 1920, the National Socialist German Workers Party was gaining popularity. This group sought to rid Germany of its current government. Hitler joined the National Socialist German Workers Party known as the Nazis. The Nazis called for all Germans, even those in other countries, to unite into one nation; they called for a strong central government; and they called for the cancellation of the Versailles Treaty. Hitler slowly rose up the ranks of the Nazi party to eventually become the leader. How Hitler managed to become the leader of this group no one knows but one thing is for sure. Hitler had a skill for persuasion. He capitalized on the fact that people where in distress and was able to manipulate people into believing certain things. Hitler built up membership of the Nazi party quickly, mostly because of his powerful speaking ability. Hitler organized an army for the Nazi party called the Storm Troopers who were called upon to fight groups seeking to disband the Nazi rallies.
On November 9, 1923, Hitler led more than 2,000 Storm Troopers on a march to seize the Bavarian government. The attempt failed and Hitler was arrested and sentenced to prison for five years for treason. While in prison, Hitler wrote Mein Kampf (My Struggle). In this book. he stated his beliefs and plans for Germany's future. Hitler only served nine months in prison and when he was released, he began to rebuild the party again. 1929, the Nazis had become an important minor political party. It was Hitlers hope that the Nazis would eventually take control of the government.
In 1930, a worldwide depression hit Germany, yet Germany also had the debt of paying for the damage it had caused in World War I. Hitler protested against paying the debt and said that the Jews and Communists were the cause for Germany's defeat in World War I. He promised to rid Germany of Jews and Communists and to reunite the German speaking part of Europe.
In July, 1932, the Nazis received about 40% of the vote and became the strongest party in Germany. On January 30,1933, President Paul von Hindenburg appointed Hitler Chancellor of Germany. Once in this position, Hitler moved quickly toward attaining a dictatorship. When von Hindenburg died in 1934, Hitler already had control of Germany and he gave himself the title "Fuehrer" (leader).
Under Hitler's government, called the Third Reich, there was no place for freedom. The government controlled every part of one's life. Hitler used extensive propaganda to brainwash the nation into believing his theory about creating the perfect Aryan race. Therefore, it was Hitler's plan to rid the nation and eventually the world of Jews, Gypsies, Negroes, handicapped, and mentally ill persons. This plan was called the "Final Solution." Hitler backed his ideas with scientists proving his points.
World War II began in 1939 when Hitler invaded Poland to begin his unification of all German-speaking people. By this time extermination camps were being established throughout Germany, Poland, and Russia. Hitler had already formed an alliance with Joseph Stalin of Russia and Mozalini of Italy and it was his plan to conquer the world.
Before Hitler was stopped in 1945 by the Allied countries, he had caused the extermination over 12 million people. Of the people Hitler masqueraded over 9 million of them where Jewish. To this day World war 2 was the biggest Genocide in history. Hitler committed suicide in his bunker on April 30,1945. Although Adolf Hitler is a disputed hero. His story shows that even the less fortunate can rise to greatness .

LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN -- The Covenant men's soccer team concluded the regular season with a 4-0 loss to regionally-ranked Emory on Saturday at Scotland Yard.
The Scots, who will head to the USA South Tournament next week, fall to 5-10-2 on the year. Emory, ranked No. 6 in the NCAA region rankings, improves to 9-3-1 overall for the season.
Covenant played right with the visiting Eagles for the first half. The Scots had a couple good looks at the net in the opening period, including a Nate Mackey attempt in the 11th minute that was saved by Emory keeper Jake Deuel.
Emory broke a scoreless contest in the 39th minute with a goal from Michael Carragher as he took possession of the ball at the top of the 18-yard box and got his shot past Covenant keeper Jonathan Crossman. Emory would take that 1-0 lead into halftime.
In the second half, Emory struck quickly as the Eagles scored three times in the first 12 minutes of the period to go ahead 4-0. Christian Meyer scored in the 49th minute followed by a Jason McCartney score in the 50th minute and Cody Gardiner capped the outburst with a goal in the 57th minute.
Crossman made five saves for Covenant and Paul Lemay came on late and made one save. Deuel and Trevor Stormes combined for the shutout with Deuel making two saves.

Stressed-out or Not Fertility Treatments Will Work
Women who worry that the stress associated with fertility treatment might be a barrier to success can relax — stress is not a barrier to pregnancy
Emotional distress in women undergoing fertility treatment does not lessen their likelihood of becoming pregnant, a meta-analysis found.
In fourteen studies that included more than 3,500 women, pretreatment feelings such as tension and anxiety were not associated with a less successful outcome after an assisted reproductive procedure, according to Dr. Jacky Boivin, of Cardiff University in Wales, and colleagues.
How Stress Affects Your Health
"This finding provides doctors with the evidence to reassure women that feelings of tension, worry, or depression experienced as a result of their fertility problem, its treatment, or other co-occurring life events are unlikely to further reduce chances of pregnancy," the researchers wrote online in BMJ.
Many women believe that emotional distress contributes to their inability to become pregnant, but unlike with biologic and lifestyle factors, this has not been proven and results of psychosocial studies have been inconclusive.
Furthermore, fertility treatments are themselves stressful, involving nine to 12 days of injections of fertility drugs, oocyte retrieval and laboratory fertilization, then transfer to the uterus — followed by two to three weeks of waiting before outcome is known.
To ascertain whether anxiety and worry influence the success or failure of assisted reproduction, Boivin's group conducted a comprehensive review and meta-analysis that included 14 prospective studies, with 3,583 women from 10 countries.
The studies all evaluated emotional distress before the beginning of a cycle of fertility treatment, comparing the distress ratings of women in whom pregnancy occurred and in those whose treatment was unsuccessful.
Ages of women in the studies ranged from 30 to 37, and the duration of infertility was three to eight years.
"After many decades of research investigating the association between pretreatment emotional distress and the outcome of fertility treatment, this meta-analysis of 14 prospective studies supports the view that emotional distress (for example, feelings of tension, nervousness, or worry) is unlikely to be a cause of of failure of fertility treatment," Boivin and colleagues wrote.
Strengths of the study, according to the authors, were the overall average to high quality of the studies included, the use of validated instruments, and low heterogeneity.
There was, however, moderate publication bias, they acknowledged.
The analysis also could not take into account whether emotional distress lessens the likelihood of pregnancy in the long term by lowering couples' willingness to undergo multiple cycles of treatment.
The authors concluded that, while their findings are reassuring, women undergoing these treatments do experience considerable anxiety and depression, so interventions that help patients cope with the waiting period before their pregnancy test could be beneficial and improve their quality of life.

Take the river boat for a short transfer to Obernzell. There you start the Danube Trail and your first stage to the Danube-ferry Engelhartszell. Monastery Engelszell is the only Trappist monastery of Austria and well known for the gorgeous rococo-church.
By ferry back again to the northern bank of the Danube. Today you walk up the steep "Donauleiten" to Penzenstein where a magnificent view over the valley awaits you. You walk over hills and will soon reach the ruins Rannariedl. After the descent you follow the path parallel to Danube to Wesenufer. Should you feel too hot just dip your feet into the water.
Wesenufer – Schlögen
Today you walk up to Marsbach palace. You are accompanied by the marvellous hilly scenery of the Mühlviertel-region leading you directly to the river S-bend 'Schlögener Schlinge'. Numerous castle ruins remind you of the wild era of the medieval robber baronry along the river Danube. From the Heichenbach-ruin you have already a presentiment of your Day Finish Schlögen.
Schlögen – Aschach
The famous river bend Schlögener Schlinge is best viewed from high above. Take your time for the steep climb and enjoy the breathtaking view on this natural spectacle.
Aschach – Linz
The hiking tour begins with a bus trip from Aschach to Ottensheim. Then walk from Ottensheim, always with a beautiful view of the Wilhering Abbey, to Pöstlingberg and further on to Linz.

China Organic Agriculture may be perhaps one of the best bets out there if you want to take a punt on the rice price boom. The company is targeting the higher end of the market with its products which include green and organic rice.
But what exactly is organic food and why is it gaining in popularity? Confused shoppers may see food products labeled and certified as 'organic' on shop shelves and may reasonably ask the question: Why do I have to pay more?
Organics command a higher price because some consumers are prepared to pay for food that is grown as naturally as possible. That is without the use of conventional pesticides and artificial fertilizers and without the use of food additives at the processing stage. Perhaps more importantly, as a consideration for health-conscious shoppers today, organic farmers like to distinguish their produce as being non-genetically modified. That's why the organic food market is a niche area which commands a premium over conventionally produced food.
China Organic Agriculture, or CNOA, looks well-positioned to reap the benefits of strong rice demand and the growing market for organics both in China and overseas. "China is a rapidly growing organic powerhouse," Source Advisors, wrote in a recent report initiating coverage on CNOA.
With over 300,000 hectares of organic fields, China now has command of an impressive 11 percent of the entire global organic farmland, according to the Organic Consumers Association. And organics produced by CNOA are starting to find favor amongst American consumers too. The International Fund for Agricultural Development notes that the value of Chinese organic exports grew from less than $1 million in the mid-1990s to roughly $142 million in 2003.
Back to CNOA and some facts and figures. The company is one of the largest producers of green and organic rice in China, controlling some 7 percent of the green rice market and 4 percent of the organic market. Unlike its competitors, CNOA's business extends beyond production and into processing, distribution and sales.
According to Seeking Alpha, an online provider of stock market opinion and analysis, exposure to CNOA "is one of the best ways to tap into the growing affluence of the Chinese consumer. Rice is an essential staple, and with increasing spending power, the average shopper is seeking out healthier food options." Seeking Alpha also notes CNOA gets a 15 percent price differential for its organic rice and a 10 percent premium for its green rice.
The company's been on something of a growth spurt since 2002, and 2007 has been a banner year with CNOA witnessing solid growth. CNOA's net sales for the fourth quarter more than tripled to $15.7 million compared to $3.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2006. That helped boost net income to $3.9 million, compared to $1.3 million for comparable quarter of 2006.
Meanwhile, earnings per share increased to $0.08 per diluted share compared to $0.03 per diluted share for the comparable period of 2006. Increased brand awareness and a growing sales network within China have driven the company's improved profitability. "Our strong increases in sales and net income in 2007 are primarily attributable to the success of our brand awareness campaign and the greater availability of the product made possible by the new strategic distribution agreements that we signed throughout the year," said Changqing Xu, China Organic Agriculture's CEO. The company's flagship brand, ErMaPao, continues to go from strength to strength -- it has has won several quality awards and is the most popular rice brand in the country.
Now, CNOA is looking to expand overseas and diversify into the additional markets. It bought the Bellisimo Vineyard, a 153-acre operating vineyard located in Sonoma County, California in February and plans to use the purchase as a springboard into U.S.-based agricultural land "with the possibility of exporting Sonoma Valley wine directly to Chinese consumers who hold these products in high regard," the company says.
Interestingly, despite all the headlines about rice shortages and price rises, the stock has pulled back rather sharply from a 52-week of about $4.37 as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or OTCBB, an electronic quotation system in the U.S. that displays real-time quotes, last-sale prices, and volume information for many over-the-counter equity securities that are not listed on the Nasdaq or a national securities exchange.
As I write, CNOA's last traded price was $1.5158 on April 8, which represents a 65 percent drop from the peak just mentioned. That could present a buying opportunity for some investors.
The last word goes to Patrick J. Murphy of Murphy Analytics who wrote an enlightening report on CNOA back in July last year. CNOA is set to capitalize on the economic prosperity of China's growing middle and upper classes and their changing dietary needs, Murphy says. CNOA "targets not only those who depend on rice to live, but those whose rice consumption helps them to live well. The Chinese organic food market is only in its infancy, with significant near term and long term growth potential driven by the evolving preferences of the expanding middle and upper classes."

From the frontlines of one of the greatest human struggles of our time comes this powerful and moving tale. Both an important cultural history of the AIDS crisis and an intimate personal memoir, Stitching a Revolution is the story of a man who, besieged by discrimination, death, and despair, found the courage and strength of spirit to conceive and create a unique healing vision-the AIDS Memorial Quilt.
Against the turbulent backdrop of politics and sexual liberation in San Francisco during the seventies, Jones recounts his coming-of-age alongside friend and mentor Harvey Milk--and, later, Milk's assassination and the ensuing riots that threatened to tear down all they had accomplished. But Jones's political aspirations were put on hold after the emergence of an insidious, unexplainable "gay cancer" that would soon become known throughout the world as AIDS. Demoralized by the tide of death and despair sweeping his community, brutally assaulted by gay-bashing thugs, and faced with the specter of his own positive diagnosis, Jones sought a way to restore hope to a world falling apart beneath his feet.
What started out as a simple panel of fabric stitched for his best friend now covers a space larger than twenty-five football fields and contains over eighty thousand names. The Quilt has affected the lives of many people, bridging racial, sexual, and religious barriers to unite millions in the fight against AIDS.
Stitching a Revolution is a compelling, dramatic tale with a cast of memorable characters from all walks of life. At times uplifting, at times heartwrenching, this inspiring story reveals what it means to be human and how the power of love conquers all--even death.

The caliber of the various exhibitions at the 2016 edition of Houston's Fotofest's "Changing Circumstances: Looking at the Future of the Planet" is very high, and the venues look good. There is so much to see, so little time.
The breakout talent this year is Roberto Fernández Ibáñez from Uruguay. His handworked, ephemerally delicate and seemingly modest work challenges the giantism of big color pieces of glaciers and trash. Upon closer inspection the handsome oddness proves to be layered and textured reconsiderations of individual gelatin silver prints of drawings he has made of flow chart graphs from the internet.

text: We were recently commissioned to work with an advertising agency to undertake Pepsi's 2014 World Cup campaign. It revolved around the top Pepsi sponsored footballers and renowned graffiti artists from each footballer's country. Once the players had been photographed, large ten foot square canvas prints were produced, whereupon the graffiti artists would add their art. We then photographed the finished product on an 80Mp camera back to allow reproduction to billboard size. Colour accuracy was paramount as the colours had to match the Pepsi brand colours precisely. It was the most fun we've ever had on a shoot!

Let's face it: Fathers who are "fighting" for custody of their children start out with the figurative "one hand tied behind their back". But in the past decade or more, great progress has been made to allow for a more level playing field. Let's briefly explore this subject and, hopefully, shed some positive light on this complicated issue.
I am not hesitant to use the phrase "custody battle", but many times that is the best description of what this type of court case is, or becomes. Many cases might begin with the parents declaring to each other, their lawyers, their families, and most importantly their children, that they only want what's best for the children. Some parents even try to adhere to this promise. But all too often the proceedings drag on and frustrations set in and what began as a "cordial" case turns into just what we didn't want or expect: a Battle.
Fighting it out with your ex often becomes the only way to assert your rights regarding everything, including the custody and visitation of your children; unfortunately, the fight itself almost always makes the dad out to be the bad guy. That is, those dads who refuse to accept the "standard visitation" schedule of every other weekend and an extra day or two sprinkled throughout the month are classified as "combative" or hard-to-deal with. The old-fashioned mindset was: How selfish! Those guys are only thinking of themselves and aren't putting the kids first, some might say. *A personal note: If someone suggested that I was only allowed to see my kids every other weekend as they grew up, there would be more than a battle to ensue – there may have been a pair of handcuffs involved in that conversation. Thankfully, the mindset in this area is more open to the ideas of "Joint Custody" and "Shared Custody" and other forms of co-parenting scheduling plans that include and facilitate the involvement of BOTH PARENTS, not simply more time with mom and less with dad. Of course, when mindsets change, the laws and court decisions follow suit, and that is encouraging.
There are several factors that each parent must consider when they are "battling" for custodial periods of time with your child. For example: always keep in mind the time constraints of your employment when you fight for the extra week-day. If you agree to, or are awarded by the Court, every Wednesday, but you must work until 6:00pm and you are unable to pick up your child from school, then what have you really gained? Geography and logistics must be considered, as well. Same scenario: Dad is awarded Wednesday and he must return the child to school on Thursday morning; however, he lives more than an hour away! The return trip to school must begin at 5:00 a.m. or earlier. Is this a victory for Dad? Is it a good situation for the child? Finances play a part (of course) as does the support system in place for each separated parent. Can Dad afford to take time off work for the extra time? And after this somewhat lengthy discussion, we have yet to mention the child's wishes and needs. I believe it is safe to say that no loving parent – regardless of any other factor – would choose a custodial period with the child that interfered with an activity that is important to the child. Dads forced with this decision almost always defer to the wishes of the child. This becomes a sword that cuts both ways: now Mom and her legal team can suggest to the Court that Dad doesn't want extra time.
The Conclusion, if there is to be one in this brief overview of an extremely complex issue, is that Father's involved in a Divorce proceeding should take great care in avoiding the pitfalls of a "custody battle". Consider the cost of "winning". Who benefits? Who loses? Is there any common ground that should be explored? Has reasonableness been abandoned? And finally, but most importantly, what schedule and situation is best for the child?
Maximum involvement of both parents in the upbringing of the child(ren) should be the desired outcome in any case. In more and more jurisdictions, this is the presumption of what is in the best interests of the child. Father's more and more are being considered "equal" parents. I see this trend as a good one – for Dads and for their children.

As seen in This Discussion Post, the idea here is to be able to add a link to example workflows in macro descriptions - like the ones seen in native tools.
Filter Tool
Many thanks to @jdunkerley79 for demonstrating how this can be done by manually editing the macro's XML - specifically by adding a child element to the <MetaInfo> section, like so:
<Description>Open Example</Description>
<File>\\aSERVER\aRootDir\path\to\Alteryx\Macros\Date Wizard\Date Wizard Examples.yxmd</File>
One small caveat is that it doesn't support truly relative paths. @PaulN explained in the discussion post that a relative reference here would search in the sample folders.
"Alteryx default behavior is to look for examples under .\Alteryx\Samples\02 One-Tool Examples or Alteryx\Samples\02 One-Tool Examples (or .\Alteryx\Samples\en\02 One-Tool Examples)."
Having said that, trying to reference a macro example in the same folder (using a relative reference) will throw an error given the following situation:
Package Structure:
Date Wizard.yxmc XML edits:
<Description>Open Example</Description>
<File>\\aSERVER\aRootDir\path\to\Alteryx\Macros\Date Wizard\Date Wizard Examples.yxmd</File>
<File>Date Wizard Examples.yxmd</File>
<File>.\Date Wizard Examples.yxmd</File>
<File>./Date Wizard Examples.yxmd</File>
This shows a link in the Macro description but yields an error (shown below) when it is clicked.
Example Link ShowsError
Once again, this works fine with an absolute file path reference.
Here is ultimately what I am suggesting: Can we add an option to the Interface Designer (that updates the XML) and have it allow relative paths? Allowing relative paths would obviously be essentially to maintaining the macro's ability to be "lift-and-shift" when packaged/moved/uploaded to servers/galleries etc.
I'm assuming the option could look something like this, similar to the "Help" file -only it would show link in the macro description...
Interface Designer Suggestion
In conclusion, this would be very useful in providing links to example workflows for custom macros that may be complex and/or not self-explanatory.
Taylor Cox
Thank you for this awesome idea @Coxta45! This is something we're considering for a future release.
For those that have expressed interest for this idea, I'd appreciate any additional feedback you may have.
Is there any other functionality that you think would be useful on the tool card description (either for custom macros or native tools)?
For example, we're considering adding links in the tool description to online references that may be related, such as Tool Mastery articles.
The example is probably the main issue for us.
External links would be useful. There are occasions when we download external macros and the documentation is mainly on the website and not embedded in the download zip. It would be useful to use the method described to link the original source and support information. E.g. CREW macros linked back to ChaosReignsWithin.com and the specific blog post for the initial tool release.
Any update on this? Unbelieveable if its not supported.

From an article in the Guardian about Tom Wolfe:
"Here is an example of the situation in America," he says: "Tina Brown wrote in her column that she was at a dinner where a group of media heavyweights were discussing, during dessert, what they could do to stop Bush. Then a waiter announces that he is from the suburbs, and will vote for Bush. And ... Tina's reaction is: 'How can we persuade these people not to vote for Bush?' I draw the opposite lesson: that Tina and her circle in the media do not have a clue about the rest of the United States. You are considered twisted and retarded if you support Bush in this election. I have never come across a candidate who is so reviled. Reagan was sniggered it, but this is personal, real hatred.
"Indeed, I was at a similar dinner, listening to the same conversation, and said: 'If all else fails, you can vote for Bush.' People looked at me as if I had just said: 'Oh, I forgot to tell you, I am a child molester.' I would vote for Bush if for no other reason than to be at the airport waving off all the people who say they are going to London if he wins again. Someone has got to stay behind."
For me... too many summer evenings on very expensive boats off the coast of Maine listening to the same types now in the latter stages of Bush Derangement Syndrome (BDS).

X-Day Critical S/R indicator plots critical levels from the last X days (not including today), where X is any integer between 2 and 100 (inclusive). Popular values that traders often use are 3 and 5.
The last X days is a solid reference for today's trading. The market often rests, retraces, or reverses around X-day high, low, center – which therefore becomes critical support/resistance levels for today's session.
An upper mid & a lower mid based on X-day range are also added because of their high values as support/resistance. You will be astonished when seeing them in action.
How many times have you bought near X-day high or sold near X-day low, and then got stuck in bull/bear traps? The market frequently bounces or reverses around X-day high and low (at least temporarily) but you are tempted to make innocent trades there – just because you don't recognize these critical levels. Our prime indicator plots X-day critical support/resistance levels onto today's session, helping you never forget these important zones.
The market breaking above X-day high or below X-day low is an important event, on which the indicator will trigger alerts to notify you. The price regions above the high and below the low are optionally shaded for you to easily monitor.
There are as many as 5 plots. If you don't need one, please set its color to "transparent" to hide it from chart.
