DIY Wall Organizer Instructions
Cut bulletin board to fit frame. I outlined the glass that was in the frame to use as a guide to cut the bulletin board to fit. I cut on the inside of the outline, taking into consideration the thickness of the burlap that I would be folding over the edges of the bulletin board later.
Cut burlap to fit with 1/2 inch overlap on all sides.
Spray Super 77 onto cork side of bulletin board, covering it completely, and immediately place the burlap on top, smoothing it down with your hand.
Now place your stencils on the burlap and stencil away. I used vinyl stencils I cut with Cricut, which I love because the vinyl stays in place, even on burlap. I used a paint marker to fill in the stencil openings. I also used a rubber stamp and black ink pad to add old handwriting for the vintage postcard feel.
Drill small holed in frame for dowel rods to sit in as shown.
Cut your dowel rods to fit using a utility knife. Shave the ends to taper them like a pencil if need be to fit into the holes you drilled. Spray paint them your desired color. I used a chrome effect spray paint that I had on hand.
To make the pouch, spray your empty carton with Super 77 and adhere burlap you have cut to fit. For the loop to attach the pouch to the dowel rod, fold over a rectangle scrap of burlap and spray the touching edges, then spray and adhere it to the back of the pouch.
Grab some antique images, flowers, clothespins and dress up your new organizer.

Very nice idea. It would certainly come in handy in my kitchen. I could put recipes, coupons, bills, all sorts of things . And it would look so pretty on the wall. Maybe include a small corner area done in chalk paint so you can have a space for writing a note. This has given me so many ideas. Thank you for sharing a great idea and instructions.

This will be perfect on the wall next to my desk to keep my writing supplies! Especially having envelopes at hand will be a huge boost for me. I use all kinds and sizes of envelopes and using this would keep them all in one place for me. I have never used a drill before and its high time I learn, so I may have to ask from some help from my Sweetie. How did you learn to use a drill? I wish the school had shop classes for girls when I was in Junior High.

This would be perfect in my main family entry - the mud room. I think I will develop a pocket for outgoing mail that needs to be dropped, a pocket for papers that need to be returned to teachers and a place for my shopping lists. I will maybe add some hooks for keys and badges. This is great inspiration.

I fell in love with this when I first saw this. I could use this for displaying my cards when I go to craft shows, in my home, or when I do Make It Parties. Just a picture frame, string some twine across it and with some little clothes pins I can pin my cards across the twine. Then the people attending my event can see what cards I have been doing during that month. Thank you for such wonderful ideas!

This is fantastic! I need to find me a frame and some burlap and see what I can do! This would be perfect over my craft area so I could put instructions or pictures of what I am creating! I constantly lose notes concerning projects and those clothespins would be a solution to that...if I can keep the cat from stealing them, lol!! awesome project tho and I thank the people who put the idea here for me to find :) Molly

From the Palestinian standpoint, many believe the Oslo experience was a failure. It severely damaged the cause of the Palestinian national liberation movement and forfeited the opportunity to capitalise on the results of the first Intifada that had altered balances of power on the ground. They also hold that the most salient manifestations of the failure of the accords were that they served as Israel's cover for doing whatever it wanted and not doing what it had no intention to do. In fact, Israel effectively cancelled whole sections of the agreement after its incursion into the West Bank in 2002.
From the Israeli perspective, the agreement was undoubtedly a great success. In fact, it is no exaggeration to describe it as one of Israel's greatest strokes of genius. Through Oslo, the Israelis harvested the reversal of the results of the grassroots uprising, the Palestinian recognition of the State of Israel without, moreover, specifying the 1967 borders, a severe rupture in Palestinian national ranks, the effects of which continue to plague the Palestinians, the marginalisation of the Palestinians in the diaspora from their national liberation movement, and the replacement of the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) as the leader of the national struggle by the Palestinian Authority (PA) which has been forced to rely increasingly on foreign aid and which is shackled by an endless list of restrictions, from the Paris economic agreement to security cooperation conditions. All the Palestinians received in return was Israeli recognition of the PLO as the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people.
Clearly, there are many negative features that not even the architects and supporters of Oslo can deny. We need to identify these precisely, now, in view of the new negotiations and especially given Israel's — and possibly the US's — determination to reproduce the Oslo experience, regardless of the fact that its validity date has long since expired. The means towards this end is a new partial interim agreement, as laid out by Terje Roed-Larsen, a sponsor of the first Oslo Accords, during a seminar held in Oslo several days ago.
The first defect of the Oslo Accords was that they enabled Israel to delink the core issues. This is Israel's preferred way of altering realities to suit its purposes. Thus, the territories that are deemed occupied under international law became disputed territories, and essential issues such as the status of Jerusalem, borders and Palestinian refugees were assigned separate tracks and deferred indefinitely.
The second problem was that the agreement was an interim transitional one that did not define its ultimate aim. It was a roadmap that led to an unknown destination. As a result, the peace process became an activity aimed to lead the Palestinians into a void where they would roam endlessly in the wilderness of Israeli procrastination. The Oslo Accords accomplished more for Israel than Shamir had ever dreamed of. Shamir had said, "We'll waste 10 years in endless negotiations while continuing to expand settlement construction." Shamir's dream became the Palestinians' nightmare. The 10 years dragged on to 20 and is still continuing, as is settlement construction.
Thirdly, the agreement was concluded without a Palestinian national consensus and without a unified Palestinian strategy. The mechanism for discussing, approving and signing it was a form of secret speculation whose speculators had imagined that they had grasped a golden opportunity only to discover that they grasped thin air and that they, along with the Palestinian people, had been fitted with a straightjacket.
The internal division that has so debilitated the Palestinian liberation movement (by division, here, I am not referring to the rift between Fatah and Hamas, but to the organic division between the Palestinian people) has its roots precisely in the Oslo Accords. It was this document that, for the first time, shattered the national common denominator that bound the majority of the Palestinian people, whether the aim was to liberate Palestine and establish a single democratic state, as was the case in the first phase of the liberation struggle, or to establish an independent, fully sovereign state with its capital in Jerusalem while securing the right of return for Palestinian refugees, as became the case in the second phase.
Fourthly, the agreement was incomplete and left many issues pending. It offered no guarantee for the release of political detainees in Israeli prisons at the time it was signed. Some of these have lost 20 years of their youth, for which nothing can compensate even if they were released today. Nor did the agreement furnish a mechanism to prevent Israel from persisting in its policy of arbitrary arrest and detention, in violation of international law and human rights conventions. As a result, more than 5,000 Palestinians languish in the prisons of the occupying power today.
The fifth and worst flaw of the Oslo Accords is that they failed to guarantee a halt to Israel's illegal settlement expansion. Palestinian negotiators had refused to heed the exhortations of the late Haidar Abdel-Shafi who had cautioned them to insist on linking all progress in negotiations to a complete and comprehensive halt to the Israeli settlement drive. The West Bank, inclusive of Jerusalem, has had to pay the toll. The number of Israeli settlers there has soared from 160,000 at the time that Oslo was signed to more than 650,000 today while the Israeli demand to annex the settlements through a land swap ploy is now on the discussion table. Had negotiators insisted on a halt to settlement construction, Palestinians would have been spared a lot of wasted time and Israel would not have had a key to alter realities on the ground with every passing hour of every passing day.
By one of the sly twists of fate, negotiations have resumed today without a halt in Israeli settlement construction. The precedent had been set when negotiators forfeited what had been a demand on which there is a unanimous Palestinian consensus. To let settlement expansion continue while the so-called peace process is in progress makes one think of a team of doctors who have a patient that is haemorrhaging on their operating table but whose attention is focussed on other limbs as the patient bleeds to death. To agree to endless negotiations over the creation of an independent state while settlement expansion continues is to allow the haemorrhage to continue until it kills the very idea of an independent state before negotiations near an end.
The foregoing flaws have made it possible for Israel to use Oslo to turn the longest colonialist occupation in contemporary history into an apartheid system worse than that which had prevailed in South Africa. Instead of serving as a means to end the occupation, Oslo became the instrument for entrenching it further. This was attained through four dangerous operations:
- The severing of Jerusalem, in its entirety, from the rest of the occupied territories.
- The separation of Gaza from the West Bank.
- The partition of the West Bank into areas A, B and C, which made it possible for Israel to establish a fully fledged apartheid system and to prepare to isolate and slice off 61 per cent of the West Bank (the so-called Area C) for settlement expansion and eventual annexation to Israel.
- The construction of the apartheid separation wall as a new component of the processes of annexation and Judification.
To ward off the accusation of bias, I should point out that the Oslo Accords were not without some positive points. For one, it allowed thousands of people to return to the occupied territories, which is not an insignificant matter. In addition, no Palestinian can be refused re-entry into his homeland under any pretext. However, the moral and psychological impact of this was limited as it practically applied to political leaders and a small portion of the people, while millions of refugees remain ignored. The aim of this aspect was to weaken a segment of the Palestinians by setting them apart from the rest of their people. A similar process occurs when Israel grants VIP identity cards to certain officials and businessmen whose privileges then isolate them from the people they are presumed to represent or help. Ultimately, this weakens the influence of such individuals and stirs resentment against them.
There are lessons from this experience that we should not overlook. The first is that negotiations are not separate from the conflict; they are an arena of conflict, fought by other means. One of the aims of the negotiators is to use negotiations as a means to weaken the other party before the negotiations reach an end.
In this regard, Oslo was a loss for the Palestinians and a strategic victory for Israel because one side had minimised the importance of the strategic dimension of the conflict, having imagined that it could overcome strategy with tactics. Perhaps the most telling indications of this was the total absence of international law from the negotiating process, the total disparity between the two sides in their negotiating expertise and capacities, and the complicity with Israel on the part of international parties that had sponsored, promoted and window-dressed the Oslo process, even though they understood the magnitude of the disaster that drove the Palestinian negotiators to it.
Legal expert and negotiator Yoel Zinger offers an idea of the extent of the disparity. Speaking on behalf of Yitzhak Rabin, he said: "When we submitted dozens of written questions to the Palestinian side during the final hours of the negotiations, what surprised me was not just that I received answers that I had used to formulate the features of the agreement in a manner that served Israel's interests, but also that I did not receive a single question along with the answers."
Simply for the sake of comparison, we can consider how the Vietnamese used the negotiating space to their advantage precisely because they did not let the negotiations become an alternative to the actual conflict that was taking place on the ground.
The second lesson we should draw is that the balance of powers is what ultimately determines the outcome of negotiations, not eloquence, tactics or brilliance. When the balance of powers is skewed against one side, the responsible behaviour is to focus on shifting the balance of powers, not to fragment one's own forces, weaken oneself and undermine the unity of the people through futile negotiations.
It is time we come to grips with the fact that the Palestinian cause is not a question that can be solved by "autonomous rule", an interim agreement, a system of Bantustans or a state that is anything less than sovereign, even if it is called an empire. The Palestinian cause is the cause of a people that was colonised, displaced and occupied and that is still oppressed under a loathsome apartheid system. This people will not attain happiness, progress and development until it passes through a particular door — the door to freedom — regardless of how great the cost and how heavy the sacrifices. This is not a call to take risks. It is an appeal to bear responsibility as did Charles De Gaulle when his country was occupied, Gamal Abdel-Nasser when Egypt was the victim of the tripartite aggression, Mahatma Gandhi who rejected the humiliation of colonisation, and Nelson Mandela who became the greatest man of his times because he refused to bow his head to the warden and refused to separate his own fate from that of his people, even after 27 years in prison.
As for the fourth lesson, it is that realism does not mean surrendering to reality. To do so is to invite the reality of surrender. Realism needs to be proactive, which is to say engaging one's wits and skills in the tasks of changing reality and improving it in ways that will work to the advantage of the people and their aims and aspirations. Therefore, to claim that it is impossible to promote the aims of true liberation because Israel will never allow it is equivalent to surrendering one's weapons and throwing in the towel before the battle has even begun.
No people, from Algeria to India to South Africa, has ever succeeded in liberating themselves by setting their ceiling at what the colonist or occupier would accept. Freedom has never been a gift for which one can beg; it is a prize for which one has to struggle and fight.

I just had three incredible days. So taxing physically and mentally. Then emotionally. Trying to start the process of healing a century old wound. The sins of the fathers. The spirit which sustained me last night in the wee hours of the morning as I knew what I needed to accomplish amazed me. The presence of the spirit of loved ones abounded. The gifts of valor and a token of love given to me by a grieving father becomes one of my most cherished possessions in this life. Like the hope found in these two photos from the Haloa Festival. Beautiful Charlie. Beautiful kamali'i holding the future for us all. I have never known my purpose more than today. And as I reflect on the past few days. I have no wants. No needs. No complaints. I recognize the blessings of love and forgiveness. I have the most beautiful perfect life. At this very moment. And no matter what the future brings. I shall always recognize and cherish this moment. Mahalo no e Ke Akua. Mahalo no e na kupuna...

Tiger Woods, Lindsey Vonn confirm they're dating
Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn have made it official.
The pro golfer and Olympic skier confirmed Monday what had been rumored for months -- yes, they are dating.
In messages released simultaneously on their respective Facebook pages, the two confirmed they are a couple and shared a few photos.
"I guess it wasn't a well-kept secret but yes, I am dating Tiger Woods," Vonn, 28, said on her Facebook page. "Our relationship evolved from a friendship into something more over these past few months and it has made me very happy."
"I don't plan on addressing this further as I would like to keep that part of my life between us, my family and close friends," she added.
Woods, 37, wrote: "Lindsey and I have been friends for some time, but over the last few months we have become very close and are now dating. We thank you for your support and for respecting our privacy. We want to continue our relationship, privately, as an ordinary couple and continue to compete as athletes."
The golfer was previously married to Elin Nordegren, with whom he has two children. They divorced after Woods' extramarital affairs were made public in 2009.
Vonn broke a bone in her leg and shredded two knee ligaments in a high-speed crash at the skiing world championships in Austria last month. Rumors of a Woods-Vonn relationship heated up after he reportedly sent his private plane to fly her home after the injury.

(Paralysis; Loss of Movement)
Pronounced: Pehr-ah-PLEE-jah
Paraplegia is the word used to describe the body's loss of movement and/or feeling. Paraplegia is complete or partial paralysis of the lower half of the body. Paraperesis is sometimes used to describe the partial loss of function in the lower limbs.
Some people may resume some function. Many people with paraplegia may have long-term loss of function.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Injury to the nervous system is the most common cause of paraplegia. Common injuries and other causes include:
- Broken neck
- Broken back
- Stroke
- Spinal cord injury
- Genetic disorder (hereditary spastic paraplegia)
- Congenital (present at birth)
- Infection
- Autoimmune diseases
- Tumor (either within the spinal cord or pushing on the spinal cord)
- Syrinx (a spinal cord disorder)
Risk Factors
Paraplegia is often the result of an accident. People who participate in high-risk or high-contact sports or those who drive recklessly may be at greater risk.
Symptoms will depend on how much of the spinal cord is involved. Symptoms include:
- Loss of movement or muscle control in the legs, feet, toes, or trunk
- Loss of feeling in the legs, feet, toes, or trunk
- Tingling in the legs, feet, toes, or trunk
- Loss of bowel and bladder control
- Sexual difficulties
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Neurosurgeons, orthopedists, and neurologists are involved in diagnosis after a paralytic injury has occurred.
Images may need to be taken of your spine. This can be done with:
Your bodily fluids may need to be tested. This can be done with:
- Blood tests
- Lumbar puncture
An evoked potential nerve test may also be done to evaluate the nerve's pathways.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include:
Emergency Medical Treatment
If you have an injury that causes paraplegia, emergency treatment is needed to prevent further damage to the nervous system. An evaluation will be done to determine the amount of damage. The doctor will decide what therapies are needed to prevent further injury and improve recovery. Steroids may be used to reduce the swelling of the spinal cord if it has been injured. Surgery may be done to help stabilize or relieve pressure on the spine. Surgery may be needed if a tumor is pushing on the spinal cord. Radiation therapy is another treatment option.
Mobility Devices
A wheelchair will help with your mobility. Part of your recovery will include finding a wheelchair that best suits your needs and how to use it properly.
Depending on the extent and location on the spine of your injury, you may be able to use a device that fits over your legs and part of your upper body. The fitted metal brace helps you to sit, stand, and/or walk with assistance of a caregiver. It is used in combination with other treatments, such as physical therapy.
Therapy and Rehabilitation
In most people, physical therapy and rehabilitation may help restore muscle function. Occupational and speech therapy may also be helpful.
Paraplegia is most often caused by injury or accident. The chance of injury resulting in paraplegia may be reduced by paying careful attention to environmental factors. Using safety equipment when playing sports and wearing seatbelts when driving will help reduce the chance that an accident will cause serious injury. You can also reduce these chances by avoiding risk-taking activities, like driving while under the influence or driving when tired.

PivotLink, Boomi Join to Break Down Barriers From SaaS BI To Enterprise Apps
October 10, 2009 11 Comments
Most people have heard the term NIMBY – "not in my backyard" – associated with a new factory, rehab facility or Walmart coming to their neighborhood. "Keep them away from here – let them stay over there." The same phenomenon often applies to organizations that have adopted their first SaaS application when it comes time to integrate the content with other apps, or a BI environment. The notion of mixing on-premise with off-premise can be very daunting, with technical, cultural and resource issues throwing up barriers to effective integration. PivotLink, a SaaS BI provider approaching its 100th customer logo with some marquee names already on board, and Boomi, with successful integrations of cloud and on-premise applications for 250 clients since January 2008, have joined forces to tackle this problem.

How the young are changing work culture!
Danielle Sacks, FastCompany.com | February 14, 2006
Beverly Hills psychiatrist's office is an unlikely triage center for the mash-up of generations in the workforce. But Dr. Charles Sophy is seeing the casualties firsthand.
Last year, when a 24-year-old salesman at a car dealership didn't get his yearly bonus because of poor performance, both of his parents showed up at the company's regional headquarters and sat outside the CEO's office, refusing to leave until they got a meeting. "Security had to come and escort them out," Sophy says.
A 22-year-old pharmaceutical employee learned that he was not getting the promotion he had been eyeing. His boss told him he needed to work on his weaknesses first. The Harvard grad had excelled at everything he had ever done, so he was crushed by the news.
He told his parents about the performance review, and they were convinced there was some misunderstanding, some way they could fix it, as they'd been able to fix everything before. His mother called the human-resources department the next day. Seventeen times.
She left increasingly frustrated messages: "You're purposely ignoring us"; "you fudged the evaluation"; "you have it in for my son." She demanded a mediation session with her, her son, his boss, and HR -- and got it. At one point, the 22-year-old reprimanded the HR rep for being 'rude to my mom.'
The patients on Sophy's couch aren't the twentysomethings dealing with their first taste of failure. Nor are they the 'helicopter parents.' They're the traumatized bosses, as well as the 47-year-old woman from HR who has been hassled time and again by her youngest workers and their parents. Now the pharmaceutical company that employs her has her in therapy, and she's on six-month stress leave.
And she's going to have plenty of company. Managers and their companies will have to deal with the 76 million children of baby boomers, born between 1978 and 2000, who have started pouring into offices across the land. Four generations are being asked to coexist at once: traditionalists (born before 1945), boomers (born 1946-1964), generation X (1965-1977), and millennials (alternately known as gen-Y, echo boomers, Net gen, and even 'generation why,' because they never stop questioning the status quo).
Managers will be challenged to minimise the friction and maximise the assets of four distinct sets of work values and styles simultaneously.
The latest generation to join the mix is disruptive not only because of its size but because of its attitudes. Speak to enough intergenerational experts who study such things (and we spoke to more than a dozen of them), and you begin to get the picture: Millennials aren't interested in the financial success that drove the boomers or the independence that has marked the gen-Xers, but in careers that are personalised.
They want educational opportunities in China and a chance to work in their companies' R&D departments for six months. "They have no expectation that the first place they work will at all be related to their career, so they're willing to move around until they find a place that suits them," says Dan Rasmus, who runs a workplace think tank for Microsoft.
Thanks to their overinvolved boomer parents, this cohort has been coddled and pumped up to believe they can achieve anything. Immersion in PCs, video games, email, the Internet, and cell phones for most of their lives has changed their thought patterns and may also have actually changed how their brains developed physiologically.
These folks want feedback daily, not annually. And in case it's not obvious, millennials are fearless and blunt. If they think they know a better way, they'll tell you, regardless of your title.
Meet any of the millennials now embarking on their careers, and this picture comes to life. Impatience with anything that doesn't lead to learning and advancement? "Nothing infuriates us more than busywork," says 24-year-old Katie Day, an assistant editor at Berkley Publishing, a division of Penguin Group USA. Fearlessness?
"I don't have time to be intimidated," says Anna Stassen, a 26-year-old copywriter at the advertising agency Fallon Worldwide who treats her bosses like 'the guys.' "It's not that I'm disrespectful; it's just a waste of energy to be fearful."
Permanently plugged in and juggling? "I'm constantly playing video games, on a call, doing work, and the thing is, all of it gets done, and it gets done well," says Beth Trippie, 26, a senior scheduling specialist, aptly enough, at Best Buy's corporate offices who's also finishing her MBA. "If the results aren't great, then fine; but if not, who cares how it gets done?"
Can some of this be chalked up to simple na�vet� and brio, hallmarks of every generation in its youth? Sure. But experts believe that this won't wash away with age. "It's not a case of when they grow up, they'll see the world differently," says Joseph Gibbons, research director at the FutureWork Institute. "These values don't change over time." So if companies want to attract, retain, manage, and motivate the next generation of workers, they're going to have to adapt.
And if they don't want to -- well, they'll have to, because this is our future workforce. Eighty million boomers will retire over the next 25 years, and there are only 46 million gen-Xers. Millennials will dominate the workforce for, oh, the next 70 years.
Stickers, hundreds of them, splatter a conference-room table. They represent Elvis, multiculti Barbie, cell phones, peace signs, disco balls, poodle skirts, even a TV dinner. A bunch of thirty-, forty-, and fiftysomethings have been sent to this room in Sonoma, California, by their companies as they wake up to what happens in the office when the millennials land.
This is a three-day seminar led by intergenerational consultant Lynne Lancaster--and another unlikely front in the generational clash. The nostalgic stickers serve as therapy. She asks these reps from health-care companies, banks, law firms, manufacturers, and city governments to plaster the stickers to their name tags to identify every political, social, and pop-culture icon that's influenced who they are today.
The point: to understand that what's shaped us as children directly correlates to who we are at work. Know where the millennials are coming from, Lancaster says, and you're that much closer to getting along with them.
After a cathartic exercise in which boomers and gen-Xers role-play the "clash points" they have with millennials (a chance for them to get improvised tongue rings and the word 'phat' out of their systems), the silliness ends and the real issues rise to the surface.
Cindy Pruitt, a professional development and recruiting manager with the national law firm Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice, shares with disbelief a recent incident in which one of the firm's summer associates broke down in her office after being told his structure on a recent memo was "a little too loose." "They're simply stunned when they get any kind of negative feedback," Pruitt says. "I practically had to walk him off the ledge."
Womble Carlyle, like many companies, is also dealing with an incentive structure and culture that doesn't work for this new generation. Young lawyers were once willing to sacrifice the next 10 years of their lives chained to a desk in the law library, working 100-hour weeks, for the chance to make partner.
But increasingly, law-school grads want work-life balance, flexible schedules, and philanthropic work. They couldn't care less about partnership. "The older lawyers think the younger lawyers are lazy," says Kristin Carretta, director of professional development at Womble Carlyle.
Womble Carlyle can't afford to think that way. Top-tier firms all compete for the same elite law-school grads, and Carretta says that it costs firms $400,000 to lose an associate. So this October, Womble formalized a part-time track, in which attorneys can work with supervisors to shape personalised schedules.
Carretta tells the group that so far two lawyers have decided to pursue it--but not without lingering resentment from the top. "I think the struggle going forward is opening the eyes of the other generations that it's okay to have a different type of law employee," she says.
A handful of other companies are making profound changes to harness the talents of the new workforce. Deloitte & Touche USA, the accounting and consulting firm with 32,000 U.S. employees, heard from its gen-Y workers that brutal audit schedules, in which teams had to camp out at client companies for weeks or months at a time, seemed superfluous in an age when client records are digitized. They felt they could get the same work done remotely.
Deloitte's clients told the firm that they didn't care whether auditors were on-site or not, as long as the quality of the work didn't suffer. After a successful test in its New York office in which employees had the choice to work off-site, Deloitte is rolling the program out nationally over the next 18 months.
Marriott International decided it had to change its approach to training in recognition of millennials' multisensory, rapid-fire style of information consumption. "They have exacerbated the need for brevity--on-demand, short sound bites," says Michelle Lapierre, a baby boomer who helps run Marriott's global salesforce of 415 people across 70 countries.
She's now developing bite-size 'edutainment' training podcasts so workers can download information to their cell phones, laptops, and iPods as they need it.
Although companywide initiatives are encouraging, it's the grassroots practices that reveal how individual leaders can truly energize their youngest employees. Sheila Gallagher, director of the restaurant segment of General Mills' bakeries and food-service division, knew last summer that she'd soon be hiring a batch of fresh college grads. So the 18-year veteran of the company rethought her management style.
To address their desire for a lot of feedback, she decided she'd connect them with senior staff, including herself. When she hired Frank Brodie, 22, as a marketing associate, Gallagher made sure to devote time to building a relationship with him, and paired him with a sales manager to act as a mentor. Brodie also joined the company's "newcomers club," where General Mills' youngest employees can socialise with its oldest.
Her team was also prepared last September when Brodie, then a grizzled veteran of four weeks, sprang a surprise.
He'd had an idea to sell Totino's Pizza Rolls (a late-night snack he and his college buddies knew well) to restaurants that were trying to reach folks just like him. Huge opportunity, Brodie figured, and he'd backed it up by researching market data, prices, and emerging restaurant trends on his own time.
While sitting in the audience at a four-day marketing and sales meeting, Brodie decided there was no better time to pitch his plan. Between sessions, he took the idea to Gallagher. "Our first reaction was, 'We've tried it before,'" she says.
But because Brodie had facts behind him and a new spin on an old idea, Gallagher opted to bend the rules and let him present the idea to the sales team so they could decide. The following morning, Brodie ran out to the supermarket, whipped up 200 pizza rolls, and made his pitch between tightly scheduled sessions.
"General Mills is a fairly hierarchical organisation," Gallagher admits. "But being flexible is really key. It ended up inspiring a lot of enthusiasm on the team." The sales managers are now actively pitching pizza rolls to fast-food chains and sub shops, and Brodie, still glowing from his triumph, has learned that when he does his homework, his ideas are respected regardless of his title.
"That's what we want from employers," says Brodie. "A chance to learn, to be challenged, to be taken seriously." And ultimately, that's what it comes down to. Millennials aren't asking for signing bonuses or the right to bring their dogs (or parents) to work. They just want to be heard, which, when you think about it, really isn't that much to ask.

Planet Fitness Connecticut franchise being sold to investment firms
A pair of investment firms have combined to acquire the Planet Fitness health club franchise for Connecticut.
Financial terms of the deal that Boston-based Exlatare Capital Partners and Brightwood Capital Advisors of New York City have made with Orange-based PFC Management LLC were not released. The owners of the Connecticut franchise for Dover, N.H., Planet Fitness - Joe Pepe Sr., Ron Pepe and Chuck Esposito - have 15 locations, including clubs in Branford, East Haven, Guilford, Hamden, Milford, New Haven, North Haven, Orange and two in Shelton.
But the agreement calls for the Pepes and Chuck Esposito - to retain a small equity stake in the business and for the current management team to remain in place. Ron and Joe Pepe Jr., the nephew and son of Joe Sr., will serve as president and vice president of operations, respectively.
Omar Simmons, managing partner of Exaltare Capital, said in a written statement that his company and Brightwood Capital plan to invest in new equipment and amenities to make the Planet Fitness locations more attractive to potential members.
Joe Pepe Jr. said in an interview Tuesday that Exaltare and Brightwood "are well-suited to provide us with an opportunity to achieve our strategic objectives."
"It will allow us the necessary capital to make improvements to some of our older locations, possibly relocate into some new space and expand into new locations around Connecticut, much quicker than we would have been able to on our own," Joe Pepe Jr. said. As part of the Exaltare and Brightwood acquisition of a majority ownership stake in PFC Management LLC, Joe Pepe Jr. said the two investment firms also purchased franchise rights to expand into other parts of Connecticut.
PFC Management LLC employs 150 people in Connecticut.

Don Pizarro, the governor of a Spanish state prison, has instituted a reign of terror in his establishment. Innocent citizens aree often the political victims of his brutal nature. Florestan of Seville determines to put an end to this despotism., but in the process falls into the hands of this man of violence. For over two years he has languished in solitary confinement under inhuman conditions. His friends believe him dead, and only his ife Leonore has not given him up for lost since his disappearance. Suspecting that Florestan has been imprisoned, she enters into service as a warder with the gaoler Rocco. She carries out her heavy work in men´s clothing under the name of Fidelio, gaining he confidence of her superior and even winning the love of his daughter Marzelline.
Act I
In vain the gatekeeper Jacquino vies fort he affection of Marzelline. She, however, has been indifferent to his approaches ever since Fidelio has been working there. Fidelio/Leonore returns from Seville where she has been attending to some business. Rocco is once again very pleased with his new assistant´s cleverness and sense of duty very soon Fidelio and Marzelline will be united as one. Marzelline and Rocco dream of a happy future, Jacquino sees his prospects vanishing, and Fidelio / Leonore dreads the uncertainty. Then Don Pizarro appears on the scene. From a confidential letter he learns that the minister has got wind of his abuse of office, and hopes to catch Don Pizarro out with a surprise vsit. Pizarro reacts promptly tot he situation: a warder is sent to watch the main road and signal the minister´s arrival with a trumpet signal. Florestan, the most prominent victim, must be eliminated as fast as possible. As Rocco refuses to commit a murder, the gvernor determines to carry out the deed himself. However, first the gaoler must dig him a grave in the dungeon. Marzelline and Fidelio / Leonore ask Rocco to allow the petty criminals out for a while. Full of joy, the prisoners enjoy the warm spring sun in vain Fidelio / Leonore watches for a familiar face. To her dismay she learns of Rocco´s latest task, and asks to share his heavy work in the dungeon with him. Will she have to help dig her own husband´s grave? Furious, Pizarro notices the prisoners´walking about, and will accept no excuses. Only his pressing plan to murder Florestan prevents terrible consequences.
Act II
In the dungeon the weakened Florestan ponders his fate. His situation seems hopeless, and he is consoled only by the knowledge that he has done his duty. In an estatic vision he imagines that he is transported to heavenly freedom by an angel with the countenance of Leonore. Rocco and Fidelio / Leonore laboriously open up a cistern. Florestan finally learns who the governor of this prison is, and wants to send word to his wife in Seville. Fidelio / Leonore now knows for certain sho the man before her is. It would seem that a light meal of bread and wine ist o be Florestan´s last earthly pleasure, when Pizarro is heard approaching. As he draws back to deal the fatal blow, Fidelio / Leonore jumps in front oft he prisoner crying First kill his wife! As she points a pistol at Pizarro, the trumpet signal is heard. The arrival oft he minister promises a different turn of events: release fort he oppressed, punishment fort he oppressor. Pizarro rushes out of the dungeon, Rocco dissociates himself from his former master, and Leonore and Florestan rush delighted into one another´s arms. _ Eagerly the people and the prisoners welcome the minister Don Fernando on the parade ground in front oft he palace. In the name oft he king, the minister pronounces a general amnesty and the end of political despotism. He recognizes Florestan as his old friend long supposed dead. Leonore is allowed to release the chains oft he man who has been humiliated for so long, and Pizarro is arrested. The jubilant crown applauds the reunited couple, raising their voices in praise of true love: Never can one extol too highly the woman who saves her own husband!

Finding your way through our huge collection of flyer templates
Print them in bulk and hand them out! If we had to list all the different purposes why one would want to create a flyer, we would take the concept of "infinite scrolling" on this page to a whole new level. Instead, we thought we'd try and make it easier for you to browse through our collection. There's over 63 thousand great flyer templates to choose from, so you might want to know where to start. Let's take a closer look to our main categories to give you an idea of what you may find.
- Events. This is where the bigger bulk of our flyer templates are—it's definitely the main purpose for having one. Think music festivals, private or public parties, clubs, sport events like matches or an "open day" at a gym. But that's not all. Don't forget seasonal flyers—our creative authors sure didn't! From Halloween to Christmas, from the 4th of July to Mardi Gras, there's something available for any seasonal event. Including country-specific holidays and celebrations like Cinco de Mayo. And there's heaps of space for Valentine's day, Mother's Day or Father's Day too.
- Corporate. The second largest collection of flyers is all about business. Which is no surprise really—flyers are pretty common marketing material, and quite a successful one. So what you'll find here is a great selection of print material to help you promote your business, whatever industry you're in. Digital agencies, freelancers, large companies, schools, public administration services—you name it. Our advice for this collection is to search either by industry (i.e. look for "medical company flyer") or by style (vintage, modern and so on).
- Church. This may or may not surprise you, but religious flyers make the third largest collection on this GraphicRiver category. And a pretty self-explanatory one as well!
- Commerce. While templates in the "Corporate" collection are mainly focused on promoting a brand, the focus here is on things like sales, promotions or physical stores. As with events, you'll find seasonal content here too (Black Friday discounts, Summer sales).
- Restaurant. This is another easy one to figure out! Welcome to the land of food menus. These are the most common flyers in this section; there is plenty to choose from for all kinds of restaurants and in all sorts of styles. But there's more. Some templates are also designed to promote special offers, special "insert-food-here" nights, or just the restaurant itself.
And if you think that in the digital era, where most of the content is "consumed" on the internet, flyers are falling behind in terms of effectiveness... Let Tuts+ instructor Mark Schenker clear the fog. In his article 20 Business Flyer Templates With Creative Layout Designs, he talks about the findings of a Digital Marketing Association report that states:
"As many as 79% people retain, convey or at least look at the contents of a flyer or leaflet, with another 48% indicating that they respond to flyer advertising."
Not bad huh?
Finally, if you need some help customizing your template, you can check out Kirk Nelson's How to Change a Photo in a Flyer Template in Photoshop and learn all about it.

If you're a fan of SimCity, then the senior vice president of Maxis has shared some news that will surely make your day — SimCity will return to the PC next year, complete with a new 3D style and an interesting multiplayer mode.
The project is simply called SimCity at the moment, suggesting Maxis wants to forget about the previous games — of which only a few have been made with Maxis' involvement — and start afresh, and judging by the information we've been given about the game so far, it appears to warrant this new beginning.
Details on the game have been revealed during a special event at the Games Developer Conference, and also through an extended announcement video, where Maxis' creative director and lead producer talk about the inspiration behind the game, and some of the features it'll include.
SimCity's new visual style has been inspired by "tilt-shift" photography, which produces a miniaturizing depth of field effect, and is visible in the trailer itself. Buildings will have mass and players will drop them into place in a similar way to previous games, except here, each will individually contribute to your city's growth or decline.
The pair continue by saying it'll be possible to build cities focused around one particular discipline — manufacturing, technology or culture for example — then attract a particular kind of Sim inhabitant. While this sounds restrictive at first, it leads into SimCity's new multiplayer mode rather well, as your city will integrate with other cities, presumably all doing different things, to create a larger, more complex world.
In the trailer, a polluted waterway causes a power outage, and the solution requires two players to work together to build a better power station that serves both cities equally. This collaborative aspect continues with the opportunity to trade and work together on more expensive and ambitious projects. It even works in reverse, as you can pollute the environment to make other players' Sim folk sick.
Although the commentary in the video suggests what we're seeing is in-game footage, there is a disclaimer at the end the standalone trailer saying it's not representative of actual gameplay, which is a little unfortunate.
Recent SimCity games have been met with mixed reviews, however as this new edition sees Maxis return to the franchise after nearly ten years, anticipation is sure to be high. Any enthusiasm must be tempered for now though, as it's not set for release until sometime next year.

I've never been a big fan of wearable tech and the mere thought of strapping a PDA this big onto my wrist ain't helping, but fortunately this PDA comes with a twist. It creates a body area network (BAN) that lets you communicate with other peripherals by touching them. So for example, you could print documents from your PDA by touching a compatible printer or transfer files from your PDA by touching a computer. The concept is still in development, but seems promising (as long as they don't make you look like an android in the process).

Looking at the diagram of a restricted image reminded me of the ubiquitous stock photograph of the NSA, the one reminiscent of the Kaaba and among the few used by news outlets. The photograph's ubiquity, along with its subject's resemblance to another opaque monument, serves as shorthand for an institution that seeks to be perceived as beyond human comprehension or accountability.
I made my pilgrimage not to the NSA, however, but to adjacent temples of lesser gods. — creativetimereports.org

Japan is taking aggressive action to lift consumer prices, encourage borrowing and help pull the world's third-largest economy out of a long slump.
Like the U.S. Federal Reserve, Japan's central bank plans to flood its financial system with more money – its most far-reaching step to date to get consumers and companies to borrow and spend.
The Bank of Japan's action will also drive down the value of the yen. A cheaper currency will make Japanese goods – from Toyota cars to Sony products – less costly for Americans and other foreigners. And it will make U.S. and other exports more expensive in Japan.
The move comes as major central banks around the world are acting to stimulate their economies. On Thursday, European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said the ECB is considering doing more to shore up the ailing economy of the euro alliance. The ECB left its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 0.75 percent, but Draghi said an interest-rate cut was discussed Thursday.
Draghi also said the central bank is considering "various tools" beyond lower rates in case Europe's economy needs more help.
And the U.S. Fed has said it expects to keep short-term rates at record lows at least until unemployment falls to 6.5 percent from the current 7.7 percent. The Fed also plans to continue buying $85 billion a month in bonds indefinitely to keep long-term borrowing costs down.
"The central banks are being more activist than we've seen in decades," said Timothy Duy, an economist at the University of Oregon. "One central bank after another has to do more because economies aren't improving as fast as would have been expected."
Dan Akerson, CEO of General Motors Co., told CNBC that he feared the Bank of Japan's policies would give Japanese automakers a price advantage over GM in the United States.
"They're an export economy," Akerson said. "You have to be suspicious of what they're doing and why."
But many economists say the rest of the world would benefit, too, because a faster-growing Japan would buy more products and services from the United States, China and Europe, helping boost their economies.
"We could see some faster and sustainable growth now in Japan," said Bernard Baumohl, chief global economist at the Economic Outlook Group. "That will obviously help the global economy."
Japan's economy has been sputtering for two decades. Last year, weak consumer spending kept prices flat. The Bank of Japan hopes to increase inflation to two percent within about two years. Economists say Japanese consumers will start spending if they know prices are going to rise.
Eswar Prasad, an economist at Cornell University, cautioned that Japan needs more than easy-money policies to repair its economy. It needs to reduce its debts and reform policies that protect weak firms from competition and undercut the country's productivity.
"Japan would no longer be a drag on the global economic recovery if it had stronger domestic demand and positive inflation," Prasad said. "However, it is far from clear that the Bank of Japan's actions will be able to deliver these positive outcomes in the absence of broader structural reforms that are essential to revive Japan's productivity and competitiveness. "
Critics also say that without wage increases to match the price hikes, many consumers may be even less willing to spend.
"The new BOJ's willingness to experiment should be welcomed," said Uri Dadush, director of the economics program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. "But they are also inevitably wading into unknown waters. There is no certainty that the new approach will work."
Baumohl added that BOJ's move could backfire if other countries deliberately push down the value of their currencies to regain a price edge for their exports.
"It does increase the risk of other countries taking similar moves in what they perceive as a currency war," he said.
In its announcement, the Bank of Japan said it plans to buy more than $530 billion a year in government bonds. BOJ governor Haruhiko Kuroda described the scale of monetary stimulus as "large beyond reason," but said the inflation target would remain out of reach if the central bank stuck to incremental steps.
"We'll adjust without hesitation if need be, while monitoring economic and price conditions," he said.
The Bank of Japan said it intends to "drastically change the expectations of markets and economic entities."
Since taking power late last year, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's administration has pursued an aggressive stimulus program of government spending, monetary easing and planned reforms aimed at improving Japan's competitiveness.
On Thursday, Japanese stocks jumped and the yen sank after the central bank's announcement. The yen weakened three percent against the dollar, to 95.94 yen, while Tokyo's Nikkei stock index rose 2.2 percent to 12,634.54.
U.S.-listed shares of Japanese automakers rose sharply, reflecting the belief that a weaker yen would make Japanese vehicles cheaper in markets outside Japan. The U.S. shares of Toyota rose $4.43, or 4.4 percent, to $105.31; Honda's rose $1.93, or 5.2 percent, to $39.13; and Nissan's rose 84 cents, or 4.5 percent, to $19.66.
"By committing today to meet a two percent inflation target in two years, Gov. Kuroda can justifiably claim to have set the Bank of Japan on a new path," said Mark Williams of Capital Economics.
Kuroda has vowed to do what he must to meet the inflation target within two years. Thursday's decision after a two-day policy meeting makes that central bank policy.
Politically, the policy shift is a coup for Abe, whose Liberal Democratic Party needs to make headway in reviving the economy before an upper house parliamentary election in July. The LDP is hoping for a strong-enough mandate to push ahead with other items on their wish list, such as politically-difficult economic and educational reforms, and changes to the constitution to give Japan's military a higher profile.
Economy minister Akira Amari, who attended the policy meeting, praised Kuroda, giving him "very high marks."
More aggressive monetary easing is a top priority, along with increased public spending to help perk up demand and reforms to make the economy more competitive in the long run.
Abe had accused Kuroda's predecessor Masaaki Shirakawa, who stepped down on March 19, of balking at undertaking bold-enough monetary easing to get the economy back on track. The steps announced Thursday under the first policy meeting chaired by Kuroda exceeded expectations in that regard.
"The first step is to get out of deflation and get a much higher nominal growth rate," Kozo Yamamoto, a senior lawmaker in Abe's Liberal Democratic Party, said Wednesday. A doubling of the money supply was needed to achieve that aim, he said.
The BOJ's policy reforms appear to be a major concession to government demands, despite the bank's ostensible autonomy.
The bank kept the benchmark rate at 0.1 percent. But instead of carrying out money market operations to meet interest rate targets that have long remained near zero, the central bank will focus on the monetary base, or total amount of cash in circulation and bank reserves, raising it by 60 trillion yen to 70 trillion yen ($637 billion to $744 billion) a year. The monetary base stood at 138 trillion yen ($1.45 trillion) at the end of 2012.
The idea is that increasing the amount of cash in circulation will inflate prices, including for assets, encouraging more spending by those who own shares and property.
"If prices don't go up, wages don't go up. If people believe prices will be higher six months from now, then they will believe it's best to buy now rather than later," Abe said in a parliamentary debate Tuesday.

The Family Truckster is out of intensive care after an enima of its cooling systems. So pleased to have it back on the road again #GTofI2
Back in the UK. A lot has happened since I departed early on 18 April. Hadn't expected to return by train minus the Family Truckster #GTofI
On board now and headed for St Pancras. This is probably the best of the trains I've taken on this #GTofI. Soon my adventure will be over.2
Taxi arrived right on time to take me to Gare du Nord. Arrived with plenty of time to spare so a good 90 min wait before boarding #GTofI
Got stitched up €28 for breakfast at the hotel. Huge buffet - didn't get value for money due to feeling poorly. One more train to go #GTofI
Once checked in I didn't venture outside again for fear of my cold worsening. This happened anyway. Woke up feeling very ordinary #GTofI
Got some meds courtesy of @TeamSky - hand delivered by team Dr. Later found out they are widely available at local pharmacies #GTofI
My hotel in Paris was Pullman Paris Centre - Bercy. Bit of a business hotel but location suited my original plans with the FT #GTofI3
The train arrived in Paris Gare de Lyon slightly ahead of schedule. Pretty bleak day weather wise & I'm getting a cold #GTofI
Today's train journey was in my original plans. The FT was to go overnight on the Autotrain & I'd collect it on my arrival this arvo #GTofI

Rays' Moore on disabled list with elbow injury
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Left-hander Matt Moore has been placed on the 15-day disabled list by the Tampa Bay Rays because of an elbow injury. Moore left in the fifth inning of Monday's 4-2 loss after feeling discomfort in his elbow while throwing a pitch to Nori Aoki. The Rays were awaiting MRI results. Rays general manager Andrew Friedman said an MRI exam on Tuesday of Moore's elbow ''is inconclusive'' and the All-Star would see Dr. Andrews in the next two days for ''a more thorough exam.'' ''It is our standard practice to have a pitcher go to the DL in these situations,'' Friedman said. ''He'll be out 15 days; that's all we know right now. We don't know much beyond that. We'll know more in the next few days. The fact that he feels good is a positive sign.'' Moore was 17-4 with a 3.29 ERA last year, when he was on the disabled list from July 31 to Sept. 3 because of a sore elbow. ''I would say it's quite a bit different in how it feels, in how it dangles, with regards to soreness,'' Moore said before Tuesday night's game. ''The discomfort is similar. The severity has jumped from what I was feeling. It's frustrating.'' Moore said he realizes surgery is an option. ''I would say it's a possibility,'' Moore said. ''I think the procedure they'll be doing will give a better way to tell the severity. If they had one way to tell, up close, tomorrow will be the way to tell.'' Friedman said: ''Nothing is ruled out until he has a more thorough exam. ''He'll have his elbow examined and they'll use a dye and look inside his elbow.. We are waiting with baited breath.'' Moore said if surgery is needed, ''the sooner the better.'' ''I know I'm not having surgery tomorrow,'' Moore said. ''I'm not going to be stewing over it. It will depend upon the severity. If I can pitch with it, we'll see. It'll be a difficult process.'' Manager Joe Maddon conceded Moore's condition was ''worse than what we thought before.'' ''We'll have further tests with Dr. Andrews and it might end up being better than we thought,'' Maddon said. ''We just don't know. We're going to gather info, be patient and make an informed, unemotional decision.'' Tampa Bay recalled left-hander Jeff Beliveau from Triple-A Durham to fill the roster spot Tuesday. Beliveau has made 23 big league relief appearances, 22 in 2012 with the Chicago Cubs and one in the Rays' final game last season.
