His supporters love to love him. His opponents love to hate him. But one thing is certain: Donald Trump has always had a knack for outrageous, unusual, and off-the-cuff statements—well before becoming president. Enjoy the best of Trump's typos, tirades, and 2 a.m. tweets to "haters and losers" with this hilarious day-to-day calendar.
Day-to-Day calendar is a humorous collection of actual quotes from the Commander-in-Chief, stretching from his early days as a real-estate developer to the current administration.

Tapirs: Evolutionary Wonder
by Angela Boyle
Tapiridus as they are today have been around for 20 to 30 million years, since the Oligocene. The average species on Earth lives around 200,000 years, so tapirs have been very successful. Unfortunately for us in the Pacific Northwest, tapirs migrated from North to South America about 3 million years ago. Tapirs didn't become extinct in the Northern Hemisphere until about 10,000 years ago.
Today tapirs still exist in South America and Malaysia. Malayan tapirs (Tapirus indicus), with their panda-like black and white coloring, are probably the most well known. However, the Brazilian tapir (Tapirus terrestris) is the most populous. In vulnerable status, even these largest mammals in South America could be facing trouble.
Tapirs have a lot going for them physically, and it must be working because tapirs are relatively unchanged for the last 20 million years, give or take a few million. Tapirs are fast. They can run up to 30 miles per hour, even through the underbrush. Hand in hand with their speed, their hide is immensely thick: 1⁄2 to 1 1⁄2 inches thick. Running through the Brazilian rainforest, they can break through branches three to four inches thick. Tapirs are also equally comfortable escaping over land as into water. They are avid swimmers. Their prehensile snout allows them to lay low in the water, breathing through their nose like a snorkel.
But they lead solitary lives. One tapir has a range of one square mile. Friends and family can come for a visit, but only newborns and mates are welcome to stay for a few years.
And of course, due to human factors, their numbers continue to dwindle. Just as deer can be hit by a car here in Washington, Brazilian drivers must beware of tapir crossings. Again similar to our deer, tapirs are hunted for their meat and hides. Industrialization and cattle ranches are also eating into the territory tapirs can inhabit. Ranchers often fear the tapirs will be competition with their cattle and chase off or kill the tapirs. Fortunately, some ranchers are learning to cohabitate with these nocturnal beasts.
Tapirs don't need saving just because they are cute though. They are the gardeners of the forest. A large part of their diet includes fruit. They also eat the seeds of the fruit, so when they defecate, they are planting the forest. Tapirs are the main animal distributing seeds through the forest. Without tapirs, there could be greater repercussions to the Brazilian rain forest than we could ever imagine.
These brawny contemporaries of Equus, the original horse, have survived a long time and wedged out a niche in their ecosystem. With a little care on our part, and given a little lee-way, they could live another 30 million years.

£3million pay-out for child after 'mistakes' made during birth at West Suffolk Hospital
PUBLISHED: 11:05 06 November 2018 | UPDATED: 12:26 06 November 2018
A boy who suffered a catastrophic brain injury after "mistakes" by medics during his birth at a Bury St Edmunds hospital will receive millions in NHS damages.
The eight-year-old was born at West Suffolk Hospital in 2009, Judge Marc Dight told London's High Court.
He "suffered debilitating injuries and difficulties, which will be with him for the rest of his life".
During his mother's labour, his brain was starved of oxygen and he suffered a circulation failure prior to delivery.
The boy's lawyers sued West Suffolk Hospital NHS Trust for compensation, claiming the treatment he received was negligent.
Closer monitoring and earlier intervention would have avoided permanent damage or at least reduced it, they argued.
The NHS Trust admitted liability for what happened to the boy – and has now agreed to pay him a lump-sum of £3million.
He will also receive index-linked and tax-free annual payments to cover the costs of his care for life.
These will start at £245,000 a year, until he turns 19, and then rising to £300,000 a year for as long as he lives.
NHS barrister, Sarah Vaughan-Jones QC, issued the "unreserved apology of the trust for the mistakes made and the impact that has had and will continue to have".
The boy's barrister, Robert Glancy QC, said his parents "have had a very tough time of it since he was born" and had given their "very best" for their son.
"They can now live in the comfort of knowing their son is going to be supported for the rest of his days," added the QC.
Judge Dight said: "The settlement which has been proposed is in the boy's best interests and I am happy to approve it."
He praised the boy's "plainly model parents", who are "bringing up this little boy with love and care, devotion and dedication" and are "to be commended".
A West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust spokesman said: "We give our unreserved apologies to the patient and their family for the mistakes made whilst in our care, which we deeply regret. We do not underestimate the impact this has had, and will continue to have, on them as a family.
"While we know it cannot fix what has happened, we are glad that the high court has approved the settlement of this claim, which we hope will ensure the family have sufficient funds to support the individual's ongoing needs for the future."

I'm getting up to speed here. I already sat in on a workshop with a group of students. It's very interesting. It's a whole different cultural panorama here. The students describe themselves as thinkers rather than doers, which might explain a lot about the shape of the country even before January.
The landscape is pure destruction but the people are incredibly positive. They walk amongst the rubble and tent cities immaculately dressed and well-kempt.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are essentially the computer applications that allow an organization to relate all of it's data to points, lines or areas upon the earth. Examples of GIS data include parcels, street centerlines, surface water, elevations (contours), and aerial imagery.
McDowell County GIS https://www.mcdowellcountygis.com/mapguide/mcdowellgis/
Archaeological excavations performed by Dr. David Moore, during the early 1980s, revealed the earliest inhabitants of McDowell County to be from the Mississippian and Woodland eras. Dr. Moore discovered evidence in an area close to the Catawba River in and around an unusual topographical site known as Round Hill. These early Native Americans lived in this section prior to Juan Pardo's exploration of the region.
Cherokee and Catawba Indians were known inhabitants of what is now McDowell County.
In 1566, the Spanish explorer Juan Pardo came to Western North Carolina traveling through the area that is now McDowell county. His purpose was to acquire territory for Spain, but he had also hoped to find precious metals. Pardo and his men built a log blockhouse at the headwaters of the Catawba River. Apparently intimidated by the formidable range of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the home of the Cherokee Nation, Pardo left the area the following year.
In 1748, "Hunting" John McDowell received a land grant for property known today as "Pleasant Gardens" including acreage originally located from Swan's Pond (Catawba County) up the Catawba River west to present day Marion and into the region known as Buck Creek. During a hunting expedition with his friend Henry Weidner, the two came upon a lush green valley with thousands upon thousands of acres of virgin forest. During that time, it was customary when settling a dispute to engage in a "friendly" wrestling match. McDowell came out the winner.
"Hunting" John McDowell received two land grants and after establishing residence along the Catawba River of Pleasant Gardens, raised his family. He is noted in Max Dixon's, The Wautagans as being instrumental in Jacob Brown's Purchase of one of the last remaining pieces of acreage along the Nolichucky River in Tennessee when he hosted a negotiations with the Cherokee on his farm in North Carolina.
His son, Joseph McDowell, is noted in history as a significant contributor to the Battle at Kings Mountain. McDowell County is named in his honor. Today, his home stands as one of the few remaining homes in North Carolina still standing and built by its namesake.
The settlement of Old Fort was later established and it had become the westernmost outpost of Colonial civilization at the time. These early pioneers established a close community protected by a series of forts which remained active until the early 19th century. Thus, Old Fort.
Historic Carson House. Your McDowell County Home Inspector has not yet inspected the Carson House, but I would love to.
In 1793, Colonel John Carson built a plantation house near Buck Creek in the Pleasant Gardens community, which still stands today as the Historic Carson House. He also operated gold mines in the southern part of the county. Colonel Carson was a significant historical figure in the American Revolutionary War.
Marion, the county seat of McDowell County, was planned and built on land selected by the first McDowell County Commissioners on March 14, 1844 at the Historic Carson House. It was not until 1845, however, that the official name of Marion was sanctioned as the county seat by the state legislature. The name of Marion came from Francis Marion, the American Revolutionary War hero, known as the "Swamp Fox" and the man upon whom the movie "The Patriot" was based.
During the Carolina Gold Rush period of the early 19th century, the south county area was known for its gold production. The banks of the Muddy Creek and mines at Vein Mountain were productive areas. Many mines and thriving gold rush towns such as Brackettown no longer exist, although scattered ruins and cemeteries mark many locations of the gold rush period.There were other mines in the area also including an old mine in Woodlawn. In that community someone opened a mine on Tom's Creek which may have been a Mica mine.[citation needed] There are remnants of the a sorting house and the old mine shaft itself. Who opened and ran this mine is unknown.
Ignore this sentence…I had to add it for SEO McDowell County Home Inspector
McDowell County is rich in American Civil War History. The movie The Last of the Mohicans was filmed along the shores of the picturesque Lake James.
McDowell county was first formed in 1842 from parts of Burke County and Rutherford County. It was named for Joseph McDowell, a Revolutionary War leader and hero of the Battle of King's Mountain, and a member of the United States House of Representatives from 1797 to 1799.
In 1861, parts of McDowell County, Burke County, Caldwell County, Watauga County, and Yancey County were combined to form Mitchell County.
To the west of McDowell county lies the town of Black Mountain, a town steeped in history, lore, and lure. Check out our Black Mountain Home Inspectors page.

Boxer Daley Ojuederie's time in the Big Brother house has come to a premature end after he was ejected for 'aggressive behaviour' towards fellow housemate Hazel O'Sullivan – after an apparent play fight got out of hand.
The pair had been enjoying a flirtatious relationship in the house – but things took an unpleasant turn after Daley's threats towards her, leading to him swiftly being given the boot.
And in doing so, he joins an elite club of Big Brother contestants who have also been involuntarily 'removed' from the house – some before they barely even had a chance to unpack.
So how many of these unfortunates do you remember….?
'Nasty' Nick Bateman (Series 1, 2000)
'Nasty Nick' was the first ever Big Brother housemate to be ejected by producers after he was caught trying to manipulate the nominations process – and given a rather public dressing down by his fellow housemates (with over six million viewers tuning in to watch as Craig Phillips furrowed his brow in despair at the situation). Inevitable pantomime villain roles followed (plus a return in 2010 for Ultimate Big Brother, during which he miraculously managed to avoid being thrown out again).
Kitten Pinder (Series 5, 2004)
Big Brother's would-be anarchist was given the boot after just one week in the house after a string of rule infractions including attempting to smuggle the alcohol fridge into the bedroom and painting all the house's mirrors. She also refused to leave upon being told the news, with Big Brother responding in kind by dropping the £100,000 prize money for every minute she stayed in the house. Unsurprisingly she didn't stay long after that.
Emma Greenwood (Series 5, 2004)
The housemates seemingly dropped like flies in series five – with Emma following Kitten out of the back door of shame just two weeks later for her part in the series' now notorious 'fight night'. All of which meant we sat through thirty days of shouting 'just vote someone out already!' at the TV before anyone was evicted by proper means.
Dawn Blake (Series 7, 2006)
'Exercise scientist' Dawn (no, we have no idea what that means either) managed six days in the house before getting her marching orders, after it became apparent an 'urgent' message from the outside world was actually a secret code from her sister – a big no-no in Big Brother land. As the clip below shows, there was clearly no love lost between Dawn and show bosses – with the maligned housemate later going on a 20-day hunger strike in protest at her apparent mistreatment in the house.
Emily Parr (Series 8, 2007)
Aspiring actress Emily sealed her fate just nine days into the 2007 series after she casually slipped a racist term into a conversation with fellow housemate Charley Uchea. While general opinion suggests her use of the word was more reckless than racist show producers – still reeling from that year's notorious Shilpa Shetty/Jade Goody showdown on Celebrity Big Brother – were having none of it, and sent the teenager packing.
Alexandra De-Gale (Series 9, 2008)
Feisty Alex lasted 14 days on the show before making apparent 'threats' to her fellow housemates, declaring: 'I've got a very, very, very, very, very strong team outside the house…I'm talking about my gangster friends. They got some instructions to follow out.' Unsurprisingly she was swiftly booted out of the compound by producers, and proceeded to blame her fate on bad editing. But isn't that what they all do?
Dennis McHugh (Series 9, 2008)
Scottish dancer Dennis wasn't far behind Alexandra, getting the boot on day 23 after a row over a spoiled painting got out of hand, culminating in him spitting in the face of fellow housemate Mohamed Mohamed, and E4 pulling the live feed from the airwaves as the ensuing ruck was deemed so serious. The inevitable 'fight night' comparisons ensued. And nothing else interesting happened for the rest of the series.
Coolio (Ultimate Big Brother, 2010)
You'd have thought Coolio would have been an old hand at this Big Brother lark, having previously reached the final of the 2009 celebrity version of the show – but having to share a house with former winner Nadia Almada clearly proved too much for him in the 'champion of champions' series and he left on day five by 'mutual agreement'.

Organic Lip Balm
You won't find any petroleum or toxic chemicals in this organic lip balm. Hurraw balms are rich in natural botanical oils of shea butter, cocoa butter, beeswax, and sunflower oil and jojoba oil to soothe dry chapped lips. These hydrating oils blend together to provide the moisture our skin needs.
The skin on our lips do not have the sebaceous gland which is responsible for our body oil. Since those oils are absent, our lips tend to dry out faster and become chapped more easily.
The danger of using balms made out of petroleum products is that they tends to sit on the surface of your skin. If you use 2 tubes a month, by the end of your lifespan, you'll have eaten seven pounds of it. Consider this: If you wouldn't eat it, you probably shouldn't be putting it on your skin. Organic lip balm is a healthier option for your lips and your body!

A huge well done to everyone that took part in this year's sports day! James, Nick and I were really impressed with the amount of effort that everyone put in and were extremely proud of 7H and 9H who both came first for their year group!
With a flourish of good weather to help them on their way, Helsinki House staff and students held their annual charity fund-raising event in the sunshine on Thursday 18 June 2015. Each Form organised a stall at a lunchtime fête.
The devastation caused by the earthquake in Nepal on Saturday 26 April 2015 has left tens of thousands dead or injured with many more homeless or so frightened that aftershocks will trigger the collapse of more buildings that they sleep in cars and tents in open spaces. Nepal's emergency services are struggling to cope with the size of the disaster and the rest of the world is responding.

Gaudi's influence is obvious in Barcelona, no more so than on Passeig de Gracia. Countless high end shops line the avenue, but the buildings designed by Antoni Gaudi steals the spotlight.
La Pedrera
"There are no straight lines or sharp corners in nature. Therefore, buildings must have no straight lines or sharp corners." Antoni Gaudí
La Pedrera is absolutely worth visiting (but buy your tickets online to skip the lines!). Visitors start in the courtyard before going up in elevators to the rooftop.
Gaudi hid the chimneys by building these sculptures
Further down the street is another architectural work by Gaudi, Casa Batllo.
Gaudi's Casa Batllo is a major attraction in Barcelona
Known for its skeletal appearance (take a look at those incredible balconies!), Casa Batllo is definitely worth seeing. Instead of braving the long lines to see inside, I went through the door directly to the left (not visible in the photo). It led me to this beautiful staircase and seating area that is part of Casa Batllo, but was much more peaceful with far fewer tourists.
You can still see some of Gaudi's work without waiting in line for Casa Batllo!
Look at the details!
Past the staircase and beautiful doors, I found my favourite spot in Barcelona. Chocolates Amatller is the best place to relax away from crowds with a cup of thick, rich hot chocolate and toasted ciabatta. While most xocolata places seemed to serve the dessert with churros, the ciabatta worked just as nicely (and is healthier too).
Chocolate a la taza, ciabatta, and cafe con leche on the patio outside
Pretty pink plates
I was so taken with Amatller, I returned at least three or four times over the course of my trip.

Russia says US actions threaten its national security
By Reuters - Oct 09,2016 - Last updated at Oct 09,2016
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov meets with his French counterpart in Moscow on Thursday (AFP photo)
MOSCOW — Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Sunday he had detected increasing US hostility towards Moscow and complained about what he said was a series of aggressive US steps that threatened Russia's national security.
In an interview with Russian state TV likely to worsen already poor relations with Washington, Lavrov made it clear he blamed the Obama administration for what he described as a sharp deterioration in US-Russia ties.
"We have witnessed a fundamental change of circumstances when it comes to the aggressive Russophobia that now lies at the heart of US policy towards Russia," Lavrov told Russian state TV's First Channel.
"It's not just a rhetorical Russophobia, but aggressive steps that really hurt our national interests and pose a threat to our security."
With relations between Moscow and Washington strained over issues from Syria to Ukraine, Lavrov reeled off a long list of Russian grievances against the United States which he said helped contribute to an atmosphere of mistrust that was in some ways more dangerous and unpredictable than the Cold War.
He complained that NATO had been steadily moving military infrastructure closer to Russia's borders and lashed out at Western sanctions imposed over Moscow's role in the Ukraine crisis.
He also said he had heard that some policy makers in Washington were suggesting that President Barack Obama sanction the carpet bombing of the Syrian government's military air fields to ground its air force.
"This is a very dangerous game given that Russia, being in Syria at the invitation of the legitimate government of this country and having two bases there, has got air defence systems there to protect its assets," said Lavrov.
Lavrov said he hoped Obama would not agree to such a scenario.
Russia suspended a treaty with Washington on cleaning up weapons grade plutonium earlier this month in response to what it said were "unfriendly acts" by the United States.
Lavrov said both countries had the right to pull out of the treaty in the event of "a fundamental change in circumstances".
"The treaty was concluded when relations were normal, civilised, when no one... was trying to interfere in the [other's] internal affairs. That's the fundamental change of circumstances," said Lavrov.

(G-7) warned Wednesday against Russia's "annexation" of Crimea as the Ukrainian premier prepared to seek US President Barack Obama's help against the Kremlin's expansionist threat.
Russia on Saturday pledged it would not invade mainland Ukraine following its seizure of Crimea, favouring a federal solution for the ex-Soviet state as diplomacy with the West gathered momentum.
Ukraine's foreign minister said Monday that his country was practically in a state of war with Russia, as Moscow further ratcheted up pressure on Kiev, claiming that Russian-leaning eastern regions have plunged into lawlessness.

I love talking to Jeff and Zach as they are both humble and know how to laugh. We had a great time chatting about both of there hunts from 2017 and all of the high, lows, and lessons learned. This year the two of them plan to spend some time in the high country of the Northwest again in search of OTC bucks and are planning on filming the hunt from scouting clear through to the hunt.

Today's podcast brought to you by Solo Targets. Solo Targets are life-sized ultra-realistic 2D targets. I have been obsessed with the solo targets and love the realism of having to pick a spot on an animal and not just shoot a spot. With Solo Targets, you can turn any block target into a realistic hunting scenario for far cheaper than a 3D target. Honestly, I like the realism of the 2D targets overshooting a 3d Target. I also really like that all of the targets are actual life size target which really gives you a feel for looking at that animal at different yardages. I just got the new mule deer buck target and that thing is badass. The target alone will give you buck fever. We set it up in the field with just a small block target behind it which is such a realistic added pressure, if you don't hit the vitals that arrow is gone. Just that added bit of pressure makes you really hone in on your target. Head over to solotargets.com and use The Rich Outdoors code TRO to save 20% off your badass target system. www.solotargets.com

We were sparked. Beside the thing we did expect on a private tour like this - we only were 4 participants - we got a real good insight in the temper and way of life of the Catalan people. And the guide also booked us a table at a totally hip and overcrowded tapas bar.
We liked the tour a lot. It was very detailled and competent.
Very informative, exciting and with a good sense of humour.
Humorous, competent

The issue of whether the city of Grain Valley should municipalize trash service continues to inflame some residents who say it's government intrusion. The topic was discussed at Monday's board of aldermen meeting.
The issue of whether the city of Grain Valley should municipalize trash service continues to inflame some residents who say it's government intrusion.
The topic was discussed at Monday's board of aldermen meeting.
City staff has been working on a plan to make trash pickup a city service like water and sewer.
The advantages, according to city administrator Gary Bradley, would be lower costs for residents, less truck traffic because of fewer trash companies operating in town, and a more efficient way to pick up trash.
The cost would be $15 per household and $10 per elderly household.
Many questions still have to be hashed out and mayor Dave Halphin said he has many of those questions, especially concerning cost of the project.
The city created a six-member task force composed of elected officials and citizens to come up with recommendations to the board.
Bradley has said citizens could either be billed directly by a provider, or the city could enter into a contract with the provider and bill the citizens, much like it does with water and sewer bills now.
The board has not made a decision on the issue.
Currently, there are six trash companies that customers can choose from. If the city municipalize's the service, the choice citizens have will be gone.
That had some residents Monday concerned and crying "big government."
"I think I have the right to choose my trash service," said resident Joan Santorre.
Another resident said: "We don't want government telling us what do anymore!"
Bradley said the Missouri General Assembly gave cities the right to municipalize services like the trash service.
The citizens gathered a petition with signatures asking for the issue to be placed on a ballot for residents to decide if they want the city to municipalize trash service or keep the status quo.
Citizens cannot do that, said city attorney James Cook.
"The board and the board alone has the authority to make decisions regarding the city," he said.
Since Grain Valley is a fourth class city, citizens cannot vote on a ordinance. All government decisions must come from the board of aldermen, Cook said.
"The government of this fourth class city is this body, whom you citizens elect," Cook said. "If you don't like the way you do their job, then you express your feelings at the polls and you elect your representatives accordingly."

OV scientists propose measures to boost IC industry
Saturday, 2017-06-17 11:12:08
NDO/VNA – Deputy Prime Minister, Vu Duc Dam, hosted a reception in Hanoi on June 16 for a delegation of Overseas Vietnamese experts and scientists, who gave their recommendations on how to develop Vietnam's integrated circuit (IC) industry in order to tap into the opportunities from the 4.0 industrial revolution.
The delegates expressed their belief that Vietnam's IC technology has seen considerable progress in the last 10 years, in terms of design, however, IC production remains modest.
According to Prof. Dr. Dang Luong Mo, the domestic IC human resources have yet to meet the requirements in terms of both quality and quantity. He proposed that Vietnam should train tens of thousands of additional IC engineers over the next five years.
He stressed the need for synchronous policies, as well as national-level coordination for sustainable IC development, along with the creation of an IC ecosystem nationwide.
The scientists recommended that Vietnam should focus on IC design and human resources development, as well as the supply of outsourcing services in IC design.
At the same time, it is necessary to tap into the resources of leading world experts, including Vietnamese overseas, for the teaching and technology transfer activities in the field in Vietnam, they said.
Lauding the delegates' ideas, Deputy PM Dam stressed that Vietnam needs the support of international experts and scientists, including Vietnamese scientists abroad, to boost the growth of its IC industry, in particular, and science-technology in general.
He highlighted the significance of forming a network connecting Overseas Vietnamese experts and scientists with domestic research facilities.
The Deputy PM also highlighted the need to clearly define key products and markets and design effective support policies for IC enterprises, most of which are startup enterprises, to help them develop in the domestic market.

Looking for Transfers? Here's How to Stand Apart in a Crowded Field
By: Laura SheehanIt's transfer season, the time of year when 1/3 of the nation's college students look to switch schools. Studies like the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center's Signature Report estimate that 1.3 million students transfer each year. One point three million. That's a big piece of the recruitment market. It's no wonder so many institutions have amped up their transfer recruitment efforts. But has it paid off?

Finding a "Pocket of Potential" in Summer Enrollment
By: Laura SheehanIn our last post, we demonstrated how digital marketing campaigns can yield significant enrollment results — especially at key points of the recruitment cycle.

How Small & Specific Digital Enrollment Campaigns Yield Timely Results
By: Laura SheehanThe best enrollment manager I know taught me this: great enrollment rarely comes from one big idea or change in approach. Rather, it grows in bits and pieces, from identifying small pockets of potential that lead to recruiting "10 more students here and 20 more here" until it adds up to a significant increase.

Humor, Honesty, and a Helping Hand Stand Out in the Recruitment Process
By: Laura SheehanI love the way the Swarthmore College admissions team speaks to potential recruits. Too often, colleges fail to consider who they are talking to and how best to ignite their interest. Swarthmore appears to have taken this into account, writing to the undergraduate demographic with refreshing honesty and humor, while also lending a helping hand.

Does your School's Website Reflect its Institutional Story?
By: Laura SheehanThere's a lot of buzz in higher education marketing on the topic of storytelling — and for good reason. Stories offer a memorable way of dispensing information, connecting to others, and influencing purchase decisions. Major brands (like Starbucks and Warby Parker) are adept at using the internet's visual and verbal capacities to share their stories and drive sales. Higher education marketing and recruitment offices needs to do the same — but what exactly does that mean?

It's Time to Own the Value of the Liberal Arts

The Evolving Landscape of Student Recruitment
By: Laura SheehanLast week, the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) released its demographic report, Knocking at the College Door. Two findings, regarding the size and scope of future recruitment classes, will resonate with enrollment management professionals: 1.) The number of high school students across the nation has become stagnant, following a 30-year period of steady growth; 2.) The racial and ethnic mix of this pool has diversified dramatically (particularly with Hispanic and Asian populations) and is expected to do so through 2025, when students of color will represent a majority.

Bridging our Differences with Personal Stories
By: Laura SheehanI'll admit it: I've had a difficult time getting "back to normal" since the presidential election.

The Rising Cost of Student Recruitment: It Doesn't Have to Be this Way
By: Laura SheehanAll research on how students search for college cites the institutional website as the "make it or break it" point early in the search.

An Enrollment Management Strategy to Offset the Federal Overtime Rule
By: Keith KnowlesOn December 1, 2016, the new federal rule mandating that employees earning less than $47,476 per year and working more than 40 hours per week must be compensated for overtime goes into effect.

Inbound Inquiries are High Yielding Inquiries
By: Keith KnowlesIs anyone in higher education more overworked and underpaid than the college admissions counselor? Given the importance enrollment has on the health and stability of an institution, one would think that the most personal touchpoint in the prospect's journey would be given more weight than the entry-level, revolving door approach the position of admissions counselor currently possesses.

The Power of the Human Story: In Enrollment Campaigns & In Life

Part III: How an Enrollment-driven Website Can Serve Higher Ed Recruitment
By: Laura SheehanAs soon as an enrollment-driven website is up and running, you will see results. Prospects will complete forms (because they are highly targeted), which will flow into your admissions funnel. Your institution will come up in a prospects' search (because of the SEO content). How many of these leads turn into applicants and accepts? Much of that depends on your enrollment team and their tactics. An enrollment-driven website will definitely bring in leads (good ones, because they are targeted to fit the institution), but the admissions staff needs to convert them.

By: Laura SheehanOur own foray into digital search started when the university we worked for hired a digital marketing firm. At first, it sounded pretty good: they would develop digital ads to promote a specific academic program and we would select the target audience.

Content is the Driving Force Behind a Successful Higher Ed Website
By: Keith KnowlesWas the creation of great content the #1 priority during your last website redesign? If you're a typical institution, then the answer is probably "no." I'm willing to bet that much more attention was paid to the design phase of the project. After all, the design is the part that everyone sees. It's your style. Your curb appeal.

When it comes to homes and interiors, it's super easy to fall in love with them. When you're investing in property and doing your place up, you can't help but spend hours on Pinterest and flicking through interiors magazines. So much so, that you probably start to flip houses yourself. Because once you've finished your property, you just want to do another. And we all know that this is a really great way to move on up to bigger places too. Although house costs can get crazy at times, when you're smart about adding value to your place, you can handle that. If this sounds like you, then it's safe to say that you have the house buying bug. So why not think about taking that to the next level?
1. Moving On Up
So first of all, let's stick to the same lines that you're already working on. And that's the idea of flipping to get to the top. Most of the time, we all want to be able to buy a bigger home. But it's not easy to go from a tiny two bed to a five-bed mansion. You have to work your way up! But if you've already flipped a house or two, why not go in for the biggie now? You know that you have to save for a bigger dream home, so why not make this your next mission? Get a killer fixer-upper and make it your own.
2. Building Your Own
Next up, you may even want to think about building your own place. If you've invested a lot of money into your properties over the years, and you've made a ton, then this could be financially viable for you. Plus, building your own can often make sure that you get everything the way that you want it.
3. Buying A Second Property
So next, there's the idea of getting a second property. Even if you're doing one of the above ideas, there's no reason why you couldn't get yourself a second property to work on and then sell. You could then ensure that you're living in your dream home, but then always have one property to work on on the side.
4. Becoming A Landlord
Or, if you don't want to actually buy a second property to sell, you may want to think about becoming a landlord. You could do this in two ways. First, when you take a look at the roofstock review, you'll see that you have a low-risk option. But you could also, of course, invest in a second property to then do up and rent if you want the challenge.
5. Starting A Business
Finally, you may even want to start your very own house flipping business. If you know that you could make some great money doing this, why stop at a second property? You may want to do exactly what you've done as you've flipped the homes you've lived in, but do it commercially. Right now, a house flipping business could be exactly what you need. So start off with the second property, and see where things take you.

God Helps Us Pray
Ruth and several others meet on Friday nights at their church for a two-hour prayer vigil. She told me, "We come to listen to what to ask and then pray that back to Him. Listening is a very important part of our praying."
God wants us to listen for His voice rather than get caught up in our own words. Don't we choose our words more carefully if we're listening closely to someone?
At times it is unwise to rush into God's presence and ask the first thing that comes into our minds. Instead, we should be silent and look to Him to send His Spirit to teach us how to pray.
"Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God" (Ecclesiastes 5:2). Adam Clarke comments on this verse, "Weigh thy words, feel deeply, think much, speak little...Send up the silent breathings of your soul."
In prayer, as in all of our spiritual life, God declares it is "not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit." (Zechariah 4:6). Without God's help, we do not even have the ability to stir ourselves to pray. "There is no one who calls on your name, Who stirs himself up to take hold of You" (Isa. 64:7 NKJV).
Richard Trench wrote, "We must pray in the Spirit....Do not address yourselves to prayer as to a work to be accomplished in your own natural strength. It is a work of God, of God the Holy Ghost, a work of His in you and by you."
Dear Lord, help me to remember that to pray in the Spirit is to follow Your leading.
"The wise man's heart guides his mouth" (Proverbs 16:23).

Men Wanted For Taking Over $20,000 In Clothes From Tanger Store
Daytona Beach, FL – Two men and a suitcase are all it took to steal over $20,000 in clothes from a Tanger Outlets store a few weeks ago.
Now the Daytona Beach Police Department want your help to track those men down.
Managers in the Vineyard Vines store discovered the theft two days after it happened on July 14th thanks to an inventory check, according to the incident report.
It all took place around 4:30 that day in the performance clothing section and the men used the heavy crowd inside the store at the time as cover to sneak in and out without being noticed by workers, per detectives.
Security video footage shows it took the men around 20 minutes to take all that gear and that one of the men apparently scouted the store out before calling the other on a cell phone to bring the suitcase.
That footage also shows neither man went to the register before walking out of the store at least twice with items they didn't pay for, according to the report.
Both suspects are described as Hispanic men. One of them is believed to be around 30 to 40 years of age with black hair and brown eyes, standing around 5'9 and weighing between 150 to 180 pounds. The other is thought to be between 20 to 28 years old with black hair and eyes, standing around 5'6 and weighing between 140 to 150 pounds.
DBPD hasn't released the video to the media but did release photos of the suspects. That's posted above this article.
Anyone with information is asked to contact DBPD Detective Wayne Dorman at 386-671-5232 or Crime Stoppers at 888-277-8477 to remain anonymous and qualify for a cash reward. You can also click here to report the tip online.

Quickly Popping By….
It's been a busy old time since I signed the Demonstrator application forms. I became official as off the 21st and I am impatiently awaiting the arrival of my starter kit.
Waiting for a box has not stopped me getting to work however. I've been lucky enough to have a few workshops already lined up. So I've been planning on what is going to be demonstrated…. I think the attendees at my first workshop next week will have fun! Along with my starter kit, I am awaiting the arrival of some supplies so when they get here, you'll know because I'll post a sneak on here!
I've also designed and written my draft newsletter – I'm just waiting on the news for June's special and then that wee lovely will be ready to go. Make sure you don't miss your copy and sign up to receive my newsletters by clicking on the link in the side bar.
Tuesday night also saw my first team meeting. Keryn's team very kindly met at my place and it was a fun night of exchanging ideas. Once I have some camera issues sorted, I'll post the lovely cards we swapped. They all used the new hostess sets.
Don't forget, just a couple of days left to take advantage of either the 4 for the price of 3 Designer Paper Special – or sign up as a Demo at a very special rate. And if you would like to earn free stamps and a credit to spend on product of your choice, feel free to book a workshop with me.
Until the next time, keep warm!

Although it is only 5 miles (as the crow flies) from the airport and only 20 km from the capital of Botswana, my village is [literally] not on the map. So it was a grand event yesterday when Michelle Gavin, the American Ambassador, came to Kopong.
Ambassador Gavin made the trek out to our village because the embassy was donating health books to all the libraries in Botswana that were built by Robert and Susan Rothschild, a couple from New Hampshire who I met last October at the celebration party for the 50th anniversary of Peace Corps. When I arrived in Kopong last November I made a bee-line for the library and offered my services. I have spent my life in libraries, they are my second home and I have always considered my library card the most valuable card in my wallet. The ambassador seems to feel the same way. She brought her three-year-old daughter and her husband with her, and in her talk she said coming to the library felt like 'coming home'. When she spoke to me at the end of her visit she laughed, saying what a pleasure it was to spend time reading to children rather than sitting in a board room.
People were truly 'honored' that the American Ambassador came to Kopong. We may not have an ATM, or a grocery store or reliable transportation, but we do have a library worth visiting.

Arrival Documents
When you travel to the U.S., have your DS-2019 Form, passport, and J-1 Visa available for review. During your flight, an attendant will give you a Customs Declaration Form (Form CF-6059B) to complete before the end of your flight. You must declare items of value before entering the U.S. Personal items, such as clothing, portable electronics, and toiletries should not be declared on this form. You may be required to pay a duty, or tax, on certain items. Some types of goods, including most agricultural products, may not be brought into the U.S. You must also enter your U.S. address on Form CF-6059B.
For further information regarding how to fill out this form, visit the Customs and Border Patrol website.
Clearing Customs and Border Protection
Upon arriving in the U.S., you will immediately go to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to request admission to the U.S. To facilitate your entry, please tell the CBP official that you are a J-1 Exchange Visitor when presenting the following documents for inspection:
- Your valid passport, including your J-1 Visa
- Form DS-2019
- Form CF-6059B
If you are coming to the U.S. by air or sea, your arrival record will be recorded electronically by CBP. We recommend you access and print your electronic arrival record (I-94 record) from the CPB's I-94 website. You will keep this printed copy with you when applying for important documents like your Social Security number or other forms of identification in the U.S.
Visitors coming to the U.S. through a land border (most common with Canadian or Mexican participants) will receive a paper I-94 record from the CBP officer at the port of entry.
If requested, you may also need to provide InterExchange Career Training USA's contact info. Please carry the following information with you:
InterExchange 100 Wall Street., Suite 301 New York, NY 10005 212.924.0446 | 888.621.1202 firstname.lastname@example.com
At the border, you will be entered into a United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) database, and you may also be fingerprinted and photographed. To learn more about U.S. arrival procedures, visit the Customs and Border Patrol website.
Entry to the U.S.
Once CBP's inspection is complete, the officer will stamp your passport with the date of admission, class of admission, and the time frame you are authorized to stay in the U.S. The officer should write the letters "D/S" as the time frame; this means duration of status. The duration of status includes the program dates listed on your DS-2019 Form, plus 30 days of travel/personal time immediately after your program end date. Though rare, the officer may write an actual date instead of D/S. This is the date by which you are required to leave the U.S.
Note: If the date is before your program end date, you must end your program early and leave the U.S. by this date. Notify InterExchange immediately if this occurs.
Problems Crossing the Border
It is rare for J-1 Visa holders to encounter difficulties when crossing the U.S. border. However, if you are agitated, act suspiciously, or if you are missing any documents, CBP officials may subject you to further questioning. If you do not have your DS-2019 Form available, you may be detained; you could also be flagged in the computer system, thus causing delays on future trips to the U.S. The best way to ensure a smooth entry is to have all necessary forms completed and ready to present to CBP, be friendly and patient in line and with the CBP official, and answer their questions honestly. If you do encounter any problems, please provide CBP with InterExchange Career Training USA's contact information so that they can contact us.
