How The Dolan Company Packages Data into Profitable Products
Launching a paid data product doesn't always require a publisher to procure large amounts of proprietary data. Sometimes valuable data is openly available and monetizing it only entails making it more usable for readers. At the Data, Insight & Revenue Summit, CEO and president Adam Reinebach explained that The Dolan Company is selling subscription access to databases that are built on publically available data. The business journal publisher also creates data products using historical data from the annual rankings it publishes. The key for monetizing both types of data products is curation, said Reinebach.
"We don't have secret sauce," said Reinebach. "We don't have these back door relationships where we are getting information that nobody else can get. All we've done is become a resource to pull in all that data and then present it in such a way that there is a convenience factor for the end user."
Creating a B2B Lead Database from Public Information
One of The Dolan Company's data products is "Project Center," a database for construction professionals in Oregon and part of the company's Daily Journal of Commerce (DJC) brand. The database lists bid information for construction jobs in the state. Reinebach explained that multiple government sites list bid information in PDF format. The Dolan Company decided to to mine these PDFs for valuable information and enter them into the database. Now, a few years later, the database has over 1,000 subscribers.
"It's really an upsell," explained Reinebach. "Regular subscription to this product, if you are just getting the publication [Daily Journal of Commerce] and web access, is $200 a year. To add the data product, it's $600 a year. It has had a very high renewal rate as well."
Capitalizing on a Magazine's Historical Data
The Dolan Company also offers a database subscription to Central Penn Business Journal subscribers. The database launched in March and pulls information from annual rankings the Journal publishers around the best banks, startups, and businesses in the region. Reinebach said that his team quickly realized that these lists could be better monetized. "It isn't just as simple as taking all these lists and putting them on a website, which we already did. The bigger application for the end user [is enabling them to work with the data.] So we put historical data into the product. You can do manual lists, and you can do different kinds of merges." This database is also an upsell. A subscription to Central Penn Business Journal with the data product costs $249.95 per year, compared to $64.95 for the basic digital subscription.
Advice for Publishers Looking to Sell Data
Reinebach said that after launching a number of data products over the years, he has learned a few key lessons. He said that first and foremost, executives must determine who in the organization owns the data product. "Data is not this kind of thing that can manage itself," said Reinebach. "You have to appoint somebody to have ownership. In our case, with the Project Center brand, the owner is the publisher. The publisher is working hand in hand with the data entry folks and with marketing to make sure the database is updated on a frequent basis."
Reinebach also advised publishers to outline the value proposition of their product for consumers. When The Dolan Company promotes the Project Center, it lists the benefits of a regular magazine subscription versus the database-publication bundle. "'You get these six benefits from the magazine subscription, but look at all that you get from the database.' This has been a really effective way to pitch the product," said Reinebach.
Finally, Reinebach said that customers expect data to be accurate. Although publishers are used to this expectation of accuracy in the media business, data is held to an even higher standard. "In the news business, you can get something wrong and you can run a correction. You can't really do that with data. It's factual. People don't have as much tolerance for inaccuracy." Reinebach said that before publishers release a data product to their subscribers, they must make sure the data is sound because Trust is paramount for selling database products.

Homeless To Harvard – Dvd Evaluation (2003)
We don't really know that this particular print is the one he titled Nemesin, but there's a particularly high chance that that is the print to which he referred. And because of the mistranslation and the truth that a ball symbol is related to the goddess Nemesis, the ball in THIS print is assumed to be the "ball of fate." Voila, this print is supposedly about dealing with fate.

Date: 10 avril 1998
L'élection du travailliste Tony Blair (Royaume-Uni) et celle de Bertie Ahern du Fianna Fail (République d'Irlande), en 1997, pavent la voie à une reprise des négociations sur la question de l'Irlande du Nord. Elles aboutissent le 10 avril 1998 à un accord de paix signé à Belfast. Il prévoit, entre autres, que l'Irlande du Nord demeure britannique, mais qu'une assemblée locale semi-autonome sera élue et un conseil de coopération mis sur pied entre les Irlandais du Sud et ceux du Nord.
Sélection et mise en page par l'équipe de Perspective monde
1. We, the participants in the multi-party negotiations, believe that the agreement we have negotiated offers a truly historic opportunity for a new beginning.
2. The tragedies of the past have left a deep and profoundly regrettable legacy of suffering. We must never forget those who have died or been injured, and their families. But we can best honour them through a fresh start, in which we firmly dedicate ourselves to the achievement of reconciliation, tolerance, and mutual trust, and to the protection and vindication of the human rights of all.
3. We are committed to partnership, equality and mutual respect as the basis of relationships within Northern Ireland, between North and South, and between these islands.
4. We reaffirm our total and absolute commitment to exclusively democratic and peaceful means of resolving differences on political issues, and our opposition to any use or threat of force by others for any political purpose, whether in regard to this agreement or otherwise.
5. We acknowledge the substantial differences between our continuing, and equally legitimate, political aspirations. However, we will endeavour to strive in every practical way towards reconciliation and rapprochement within the framework of democratic and agreed arrangements. We pledge that we will, in good faith, work to ensure the success of each and every one of the arrangements to be established under this agreement. It is accepted that all of the institutional and constitutional arrangements - an Assembly in Northern Ireland, a North/South Ministerial Council, implementation bodies, a British-Irish Council and a British-Irish Intergovernmental Conference and any amendments to British Acts of Parliament and the Constitution of Ireland - are interlocking and interdependent and that in particular the functioning of the Assembly and the North/South Council are so closely inter-related that the success of each depends on that of the other.
6. Accordingly, in a spirit of concord, we strongly commend this agreement to the people, North and South, for their approval.
1. The participants endorse the commitment made by the British and Irish Governments that, in a new British-Irish Agreement replacing the Anglo- Irish Agreement, they will:
(i) recognise the legitimacy of whatever choice is freely exercised by a majority of the people of Northern Ireland with regard to its status, whether they prefer to continue to support the Union with Great Britain or a sovereign united Ireland;
(ii) recognise that it is for the people of the island of Ireland alone, by agreement between the two parts respectively and without external impediment, to exercise their right of self-determination on the basis of consent, freely and concurrently given, North and South, to bring about a united Ireland, if that is their wish, accepting that this right must be achieved and exercised with and subject to the agreement and consent of a majority of the people of Northern Ireland;
(iii) acknowledge that while a substantial section of the people in Northern Ireland share the legitimate wish of a majority of the people of the island of Ireland for a united Ireland, the present wish of a majority of the people of Northern Ireland, freely exercised and legitimate, is to maintain the Union and, accordingly, that Northern Ireland's status as part of the United Kingdom reflects and relies upon that wish; and that it would be wrong to make any change in the status of Northern Ireland save with the consent of a majority of its people;
(iv) affirm that if, in the future, the people of the island of Ireland exercise their right of self-determination on the basis set out in sections (i) and (ii) above to bring about a united Ireland, it will be a binding obligation on both Governments to introduce and support in their respective Parliaments legislation to give effect to that wish;
(v) affirm that whatever choice is freely exercised by a majority of the people of Northern Ireland, the power of the sovereign government with jurisdiction there shall be exercised with rigorous impartiality on behalf of all the people in the diversity of their identities and traditions and shall be founded on the principles of full respect for, and equality of, civil, political, social and cultural rights, of freedom from discrimination for all citizens, and of parity of esteem and of just and equal treatment for the identity, ethos, and aspirations of both communities;
(vi) recognise the birthright of all the people of Northern Ireland to identify themselves and be accepted as Irish or British, or both, as they may so choose, and accordingly confirm that their right to hold both British and Irish citizenship is accepted by both Governments and would not be affected by any future change in the status of Northern Ireland.
2. The participants also note that the two Governments have accordingly undertaken in the context of this comprehensive political agreement, to propose and support changes in, respectively, the Constitution of Ireland and in British legislation relating to the constitutional status of Northern Ireland.
1. (1) It is hereby declared that Northern Ireland in its entirety remains part of the United Kingdom and shall not cease to be so without the consent of a majority of the people of Northern Ireland voting in a poll held for the purposes of this section in accordance with Schedule 1.
(2) But if the wish expressed by a majority in such a poll is that Northern Ireland should cease to be part of the United Kingdom and form part of a united Ireland, the Secretary of State shall lay before Parliament such proposals to give effect to that wish as may be agreed between Her Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom and the Government of Ireland.
2. The Government of Ireland Act 1920 is repealed; and this Act shall have effect notwithstanding any other previous enactment.
1. The Secretary of State may by order direct the holding of a poll for the purposes of section 1 on a date specified in the order.
2. Subject to paragraph 3, the Secretary of State shall exercise the power under paragraph 1 if at any time it appears likely to him that a majority of those voting would express a wish that Northern Ireland should cease to be part of the United Kingdom and form part of a united Ireland.
3. The Secretary of State shall not make an order under paragraph 1 earlier than seven years after the holding of a previous poll under this Schedule.
4. (Remaining paragraphs along the lines of paragraphs 2 and 3 of existing Schedule 1 to 1973 Act.)
Add to Article 29 the following sections:
1. The State may consent to be bound by the British-Irish Agreement done at Belfast on the day of 1998, hereinafter called the Agreement.
1. Any institution established by or under the Agreement may exercise the powers and functions thereby conferred on it in respect of all or any part of the island of Ireland notwithstanding any other provision of this Constitution conferring a like power or function on any person or any organ of State appointed under or created or established by or under this Constitution. Any power or function conferred on such an institution in relation to the settlement or resolution of disputes or controversies may be in addition to or in substitution for any like power or function conferred by this Constitution on any such person or organ of State as aforesaid.
1. If the Government declare that the State has become obliged, pursuant to the Agreement, to give effect to the amendment of this Constitution referred to therein, then, notwithstanding Article 46 hereof, this Constitution shall be amended as follows:
i. the following Articles shall be substituted for Articles 2 and 3 of the Irish text:
"2. [Irish text to be inserted here]
3. [Irish text to be inserted here]"
ii. the following Articles shall be substituted for Articles 2 and 3 of the English text:
"Article 2
It is the entitlement and birthright of every person born in the island of Ireland, which includes its islands and seas, to be part of the Irish nation. That is also the entitlement of all persons otherwise qualified in accordance with law to be citizens of Ireland. Furthermore, the Irish nation cherishes its special affinity with people of Irish ancestry living abroad who share its cultural identity and heritage.
Article 3
1. It is the firm will of the Irish nation, in harmony and friendship, to unite all the people who share the territory of the island of Ireland, in all the diversity of their identities and traditions, recognising that a united Ireland shall be brought about only by peaceful means with the consent of a majority of the people, democratically expressed, in both jurisdictions in the island. Until then, the laws enacted by the Parliament established by this Constitution shall have the like area and extent of application as the laws enacted by the Parliament that existed immediately before the coming into operation of this Constitution.
2. Institutions with executive powers and functions that are shared between those jurisdictions may be established by their respective responsible authorities for stated purposes and may exercise powers and functions in respect of all or any part of the island."
iii. the following section shall be added to the Irish text of this Article:
"8. [Irish text to be inserted here]" and
iv. the following section shall be added to the English text of this Article:
"8. The State may exercise extra-territorial jurisdiction in accordance with the generally recognised principles of international law."
4. If a declaration under this section is made, this subsection and subsection 3, other than the amendment of this Constitution effected thereby, and subsection 5 of this section shall be omitted from every official text of this Constitution published thereafter, but notwithstanding such omission this section shall continue to have the force of law.
5. If such a declaration is not made within twelve months of this section being added to this Constitution or such longer period as may be provided for by law, this section shall cease to have effect and shall be omitted from every official text of this Constitution published thereafter.

Christmas is just around the corner. Whether you're looking to treat yourself to something new or you're shopping for a loved one, there are so many designers to covet in the world of accessories. But which ones are on your wishlist this season? Need some designer eyewear inspiration to help you decide?
Here are some of the top names to write home about in your letter to Santa…
Miu Miu
Why it's hot: The Miu Miu eyewear collection always stands out as being different – and is always fashion forward. Miuccia Prada's designs are innovative and daring, with the label often dubbed as Prada's more flirty, fun and creative little sister. For SS18, the eyewear styles are getting a glitzy makeover, taking style notes from the excessively extravagant parties of the 1920s. So expect glitter and sparkly gems, all with a contemporary 'deconstructed' twist.
Who will love it: Made for the girl who loves the classic beauty of Prada but wants something a little more inspiring. Definitely not for the fainthearted or the wallflower.
Why it's hot: Because it's so retro darling and anyone who appreciates fashion from the 1980s will fall in love with the new SS18 collection. As if that wasn't enough to entice you into the Gucci story, the fashion house has also been teaming up with Strangers Things stars such as Millie Bobby Brown and Finn Wolfhard in some super cool editorials. And it doesn't get any more 80s fangirling than that!
Who will love it: Anyone who rocks retro like they woke up like that. But the eyewear range isn't restrictive by decade because the collection draws inspiration from different eras too. So there's something for everyone.
Why it's hot: The new Dior collection is about much more than aesthetics. Sure, it looks freaking awesome (obviously) and it's bringing back the love for French fashion (so you can expect chambray and stripes galore). But there's a much deeper meaning to the SS18 narrative. Dior designer Maria Grazia Chiuri explains that it's actually inspired by artist Niki de Saint Phalle, one of the first 20th Century female artists to be recognised by the establishment. So don't just love it because it looks good (it really does). Love it because it stands up for female empowerment.
Who will love it: Anyone who gets fashion, loves a deep and meaningful reference, or is a die-hard feminist.
Dolce & Gabbana
Why it's hot: Because it's so over the top and totally unapologetic. It's loud, bold and there's no such thing as 'too much'. In a world where more is more, there really are no restrictions to how you accessorise. The fashion house oozes Italian confidence and every year, the designs seem to get wilder and crazier. Eyewear and accessories are never a second thought with Dolce & Gabbana runways. They take centre stage so you can expect the sunglasses and specs to be ultra-elaborate and always adorned with gems.
Who will love it: The type of girl who is always extra. The type of girl who turns up in a frock when the invite clearly says 'casual'. And the type of girl who has a penchant for sparkly things and diamonds. Magpies are definitely welcome in the D&G house.

Established in 1993, Byers Peak Wilderness was named after William N. Byers, founder of Colorado's first newspaper the Rocky Mountain News. Byers Peak Wilderness encompasses 8,801 acres in the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests in Grand County containing a variety of eco-zones from low-lying lodgepole pine forest and riparian drainages to alpine tundra fields of over 12,000 feet in elevation.
Due to its diverse range of ecological habitat, the area contains a wide variety of flora and fauna. This area is home to many species including deer, elk, bear, mountain goats, bighorn sheep, moose, and several species of trout and small rodents. This Wilderness also contains two glacial lakes, three major creek drainages and two peaks over 12,500 feet. The highest is Byers Peak with an elevation of 12,804 feet accessible via the Byers Peak Trail.
Dig deep into your summer by giving back in Colorado's Byers Peak Wilderness. This solitude filled and little-visited wilderness receives nealy zero attention that there are a number of problem areas that are developing near the Lake Evelyn Trailhead. This service project will work to address these issues: the first objective is to address water crossings and muddy sections near the trailhead on the way to Lake Evelyn itself. As the most popular destination in the wilderness area, improving this trail and corridor would be very beneficial in terms of an elevated trail experience.
The second objective is to delineate the Lake Evelyn trail as it passes along the tundra near St Louis Divide. We'll be removing social trails that further confuse hikers and construct a minimal amount of clearly identifiable cairns. Participants for this project should be prepared for either an all backpacking project or a project that is split between tent/car camping and backcountry camping. We appreciate the flexibility and participants will receive an updated itinerary preceding the project.
This project is rated as a strenuous project.

Charles Hoskinson recently struck back at the Cardano Foundation, protecting the community of the coin while laying down points for the split between the Foundation and the rest of the project. He stated that the Foundation was run by a "king", stating that there was no transparency in the system.
This marks another development in the Cardano Foundation-IOHK disagreement saga, which Hoskinson stated has been occurring for almost a year at this point. Due to the existing power that the CF has over the Cardano project, Hoskinson was asked what he would say when asked not to "interfere" with the actions of the Foundation. He stated:
"I'd ask basic questions like, do you think it's in the interest of the community to have the Foundation led by a king? There is no oversight or checks and balances when you have a board of two where one doesn't do much other than file the paperwork and the other one has absolute power. Why do you feel you're above transparency?"
Hoskinson went on to ask them when they were going to provide transparency as to the inner workings of their proceedings, such as their minutes. He also stated that they have not provided details of the remuneration of funds, which is a risky proposition considering that it was the Cardano community's money.
Moreover, Hoskinson detailed the circumstances of nepotism observed in the Foundation. He also demarcated community interaction as one of the things that the Cardano Foundation was supposed to handle but did not do. He stated:
"How does the community work with you like what is their ability to collaborate with you. If somebody has a project or they want to do something how do they contact the Cardano Foundation? how do they actually coordinate with you? There's a litany of services that this organization should be providing to the community and they're just simply not."
Hoskinson felt very strongly about the duties neglected by the Cardano Foundation, stating that there was no way for the community to interface with them. He reiterated the fact that they were a community organization, stating that the people had expectations. He elaborated:
"People have put their money into this ecosystem. They have expectations of delivery. If you're not willing to deliver, [and] you're afraid of the risks associated with it, get your cowardly ass out of the f***ing organization. I have no respect or empathy because I have competitors."
The post Cardano [ADA]'s Hoskinson to Cardano Foundation: If you're afraid of risk, get your cowardly ass out appeared first on AMBCrypto.

ii. Client shall not use the trademarks and or the trade name of Beontrips unless upon the express prior written consent of Beontrips.

Beontrips is entitled to monitor compliance with these Terms and Conditions of Use, including on-site controls upon Beontrips's prior request.

In this case, Beontrips and/or the service supplier reserve the right to automatically cancel Traveller's stay or bookings with no right of the Traveller to any compensation whatsoever.

The Client (whether or not this Agreement has been terminated) shall at all times save harmless and keep fully indemnified Beontrips from and against any actions, claims, proceedings, losses, costs, expenses and demands (including costs and expenses in defending such matters and its proper compromise) arising directly or indirectly out of or incidental to or in connection with any breach by or on behalf of the Client or any of its servants, agents or contractors of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

In some countries, there is a local tax known as "visitors' tax", "city tax" "tourist tax" (or similar) and other fees including (but not limited to) resort fees or service charges, which shall be paid directly by the Traveller at the establishment and/or at the airport.

Before I confess, I want to tell you my story.
Here goes:
When I started Fourth Wave Apparel ten years ago, it wasn't called Fourth Wave.
It was called "Oh my god, I've just had the profound realization that I'm a feminist, and I'm a stay-at-home mom in a rural Utah community that will eat me alive for saying so."
I'm a Feminist
Around that time, I watched a PBS series called The Makers. (It's really good, watch it). It was a guided tour through women's history. I watched footage of Kathrine Switzer, the first woman to run the Boston Marathon, as the owner of the race literally chased her, trying to bodily pull her from the race. I learned who Alice Paul was. I saw images of men and women marching in the streets, holding homemade signs and wearing shirts that said "ERA Yes."

I desperately wanted to wrap myself up in their energy, their courage, their stories, as I walked into my own battles and claimed my own voice. I wanted a touchstone to remind me I wasn't alone in my struggle. And that I came from "a long line of madwomen," as MariJo Moore puts it. So I poked around the internet. I typed "feminist t-shirt" into Google and Etsy. And I found about three versions of a Hanes Beefy Tee that said "Feminist as F*ck."
And since I wasn't particularly interested in wearing an aggressive potato sack, I decided that I would figure out how to make my own touchstones.
I searched for "women's history memorabilia" on Ebay and used the yellowing pamphlets, pins, and illustrations as inspiration for my designs. I pored through museum websites and read books about the women and the movements I'd never learned about in high school or college. I took notes from screen printing forums about inks and emulsion and mesh count. Then I found some shirts I really liked and spent a lot of nights getting inky in my basement bathroom (I know how that sounds, but it was SUPER unsexy).
And the shirts turned out great. I wore them while I did some really hard work, figuring out who I was, what I was doing with my life … and moved away from rural Utah. I got a few requests from friends, who wanted to wear the shirts too. So I made a few more. And a few more. And ultimately created and grew an Etsy shop called Fourth Wave Apparel.
Good story, right? I think so.
But here's the thing. My confession, if you will. Sometimes I don't know if what I set out to do was worth it.
Sometimes I look back on that passionate, naive person I was in 2008, filled with a newfound feminist awakening and a buttload of ambition, and I want to tell her to learn how to crochet tiny cactuses, or paint dogs doing yoga, or make rainbow-colored soap instead.
Because I will never, ever get this GD thing right.
I can't tell you how many times I have heard the following, either in comments, messages, or articles published in various blogs. And as feminism has re-entered the spotlight in a dramatic way over the past few years, the conversation has ticked up too:
- "Selling a shirt with a feminist message for profit is unethical and capitalistic."
- "You should consider donating most of your profits to Planned Parenthood."
- "Selling a shirt with X message about X cause is in bad taste—stop trying to commercialize X!"
- "Your shirt collection isn't diverse enough/your shirt collection is TERFy (trans-exclusionary radical feminist)."
- "That shirt includes a term iconic to the trans/black/latinx community—that's appropriation!"
- "Feminist slogan shirts are stupid. Words without action are meaningless."
- "Feminism has become so commercialized. Everyone is just wearing these shirts to be cool now."
And you KNOW that guy painting yoga dogs, or that woman who crochets tiny cactuses on Etsy doesn't get that kind of flack.
So, like I said. Sometimes, as I lay in bed at night in my "Resting Bitch" sleep shirt that I made and then stopped selling because I wasn't sure if it was too problematic, but I still really like, I think those thoughts. The comments and articles roll around in my brain, and I wonder if I made the right choice. If my good intentions matter. If I should donate all my money to Planned Parenthood and go back to a day-job writing about scented candles. Or learn how to paint yoga dogs (or maybe cats—I don't want to step on any toes) instead.
But so far, I'm still here. Because in less public ways, I also hear from the woman who got up this morning, put on her "Votes for Women" t-shirt, and left the husband who has been physically and mentally assaulting her for the past 10 years. From the girl who is in counseling because she isn't sure she wants to be alive anymore, and found some comfort and delight in a "Purrrsist Baby" t-shirt (I can do cats too!). From the gay man who just came out to his family and friends, and decided he's ready to wear his identity on his sleeve with "Love Is Love Is Love."
And the pushback I get? (Well, me and the entire "marketplace feminism" movement that has freaking EXPLODED). I'm trying to separate the crap from the kernels of truth in all of it. (And if you have some perspective or pearls of wisdom, I'd love to hear them, because some of these issues are just the water I've chosen to swim in). It seems to come down to profits, intersectionality, and words versus deeds:
Profits are Problematic
- "Selling a shirt with a feminist message for profit is unethical and capitalistic"
- "Selling a shirt with X message about X cause is in bad taste—stop trying to commercialize X!"
- "You should consider donating most of your profits to Planned Parenthood."
I feel this one hard. Especially when it comes to issues like gun violence, rape, domestic abuse, etc. When I get requests to make a shirt promoting gun reform, or calling out rape culture, or supporting survivors, I know that this criticism is coming. But at the same time … you want a shirt. To express yourself, to start a conversation, to rally. To wrap yourself up in your ideal. Walmart isn't going to make a shirt like that. And you don't have the equipment or expertise to make it in your own basement. So there's me.
And as an average human in this society (which is all kinds of capitalistic), I have a mortgage, and food to buy myself and my kids, and effing outrageous health insurance premiums. So, I can write marketing copy for a candle company during the day to earn that money. Or I can print t-shirts with messages I believe in wholeheartedly.
When I can, I give back a percentage of my profits to organizations I believe in. I love the fact that I can do that. But I'm stuck with the same realities you are when it comes to the cost of living.
Intersectionality is Problematic
- "Your shirt collection isn't diverse enough/your shirt collection is TERFy (trans-exclusionary radical feminist)."
- "That shirt includes a term iconic to the trans/black/latinx community—that's appropriation!"
This one is hard too. I'm a white feminist. Really, really white. And I live in America, where racism is the air everybody has been breathing forever. And I'm a cis woman. Both those things mean I have a lot of privilege. Some of it's examined, and some of it is unexamined, which has and will come up. And every time it happens, I feel like an idiot. But, that's real life, and that's on me to deal with.
Photo credit: @victoria_at_trademark who says "Finally, properly labeled."
What I struggle with is this: If I don't include a lot of messages and images from communities I want to support and intersect with, that feels exclusionary and wrong. Because my shop becomes a mirror of who I am (a white, cis feminist). But if I do include those messages, I'm potentially taking sales away from black, latinx, gay, trans, and other marginalized communities that are putting those messages into the world. I don't want to compete with that. And I don't want to appropriate it. That line between inclusivity and intersectionality, and infringing on the very communities I want to support and intersect with, is a hard one for me.
For now, I've decided I will use my social media channels to share the voices of members of communities I want to intersect with, while keeping the items in my shop to messages I represent personally to at least some degree, while making those messages as inclusive as possible. For example, I have a shirt with the word "Femme" on the front. It's the root of the word "woman" in every romance language, and it's also a term used in the queer community. The response has been primarily positive. I see women wearing my shirts who own the term "femme" in the queer community and beyond.
If you have suggestions for a better approach, I'm all ears.
Words vs. Deeds Is Problematic
- "Feminist slogan shirts are stupid. Words without action are meaningless."
- "Feminism has become so commercialized. Everyone is just wearing these shirts to be cool now."
This one isn't that hard. But it's still the subject of almost every op-ed piece I read about "marketplace feminism." Yes, words without deeds are meaningless. But how in the world do you know that the person wearing a shirt that says "feminist" isn't walking the walk too? And I'm sorry, but I don't know ANYBODY in real life who claims the word "feminist" to be cool. I asked 15 young women if they considered themselves feminists when I volunteered as a panel judge for a scholarship program, and I didn't get a single yes. The word "feminist" is still as divisive and maligned as they come. And the women and men I know who are willing to claim it are also the same men and women who put their deeds alongside their words and work for change. Who are active members of NOW and Moms Demand Action. Who march beside me for science, for gun violence prevention, and at the Women's Marches. Who show up for town hall meetings with their representatives, who vote in their midterm elections, and who champion causes and projects that make the world a better place.
This post got long. Thanks for sticking around. I'm passionate about what I do, even if some days I feel like curling up in my "Resting Bitch" shirt and calling it off.
Ultimately, it's this quote by John Steinbeck that I come back to.
"And now that you don't have to be perfect, you can be good."
Ten years ago, feminism gave me the tools I needed to let go of the "perfect" girl I used to be. And I'll continue to spread the word of equality, empowerment, and change the best way I know how. It won't be perfect. But it will be good.

MORRISTOWN — A Superior Court judge said today the financial "worth" of Wilf family members, who own the Minnesota Vikings, must be released to the public as she calculates the damages against them in a 21-year-old lawsuit.
But Judge Deanne Wilson delayed unsealing the document listing the Wilfs' "minimum net worth" so that the Wilfs may pursue an appeal of her order.
Zygmunt "Zygi" Wilf, principal owner of the Vikings, heads his family's Short Hills-based real estate empire and also owns, along with his brother, Mark, and their cousin, Leonard, more than 100 properties including apartment complexes, office buildings, shopping centers, hotels and a charter airline.
Wilson will be using the "net worth" figure as part of her calculation of punitive damages to be awarded to two business partners, Josef Halpern of Brooklyn and Ada Reichmann of Toronto, who the judge has ruled were cheated by the Wilfs out of more than 21 years of revenues from Rachel Gardens, a 764-unit apartment complex in Montville.
The Wilfs' lead attorney, Sheppard Guryan, said releasing the family's financial worth would be an "invasion of their privacy" that would satisfy only "prurient interests." He said it would make it difficult for them to conduct business negotiations and might cause people to "target" their children and grandchildren.
The Wilfs have "stipulated" they have the ability to pay, no matter how high the damages award, Guryan said.
Wilson said the case is of great "public interest" and the public has a right to know the figure upon which she will base her punitive damages award.
"The judiciary should be transparent," she said, noting many citizens have the perception that the wealthy get preferential treatment in the court system.
Following a two-year trial in Morristown, Wilson ruled Aug. 5 that the Wilfs had committed fraud, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and also violated the state's civil racketeering statute, or RICO. She ruled that the partners are entitled to compensatory damages, punitive damages and triple damages under the RICO statue.
In court sessions over several weeks since, Wilson has been detailing her decision and also has been gathering additional documents from attorneys and accountants proposing the amounts to be awarded.
The numbers are being closely watched in Minnesota, where plans to build a $975 million stadium for the Vikings, with $477 million coming from the team and the rest from the state of Minnesota and the city of Minneapolis, are on hold pending a state review of the Wilfs' finances.
Halpern and Reichmann are seeking a total of $51 million, including $33 million for Reichmann and $18 million for Halpern.
In 2011, Sports Illustrated estimated the net worth of Zygmunt Wilf alone at $310 million.
Alan Lebensfeld and Price Gielen, attorneys for Halpern and Reichmann, both emphasized that the "net worth" figure is a key element because punitive damages are designed to punish the liable person.
"You don't want the amount of the award to just be another cost of doing business," Lebensfeld said. ""It has to have a sting."
But, Wilson said, she doubted she could achieve that result.
"The difference between the Wilfs' net worth and anything I could award is so vast," the judge said.
Attorneys are scheduled to argue over the amount of punitive damages at a Sept. 23 hearing. Wilson is expected to announce her final award sometime in October.

Camp Candle: ERE (self-released, 2016)January 11, 2017 at 9:19 pm | Posted in Reviews | Leave a comment
This Philadelphia duo sent WCBN a three-song CDR a few months ago, and I was hooked by the second song. Somewhat distant but still pretty direct chillwavey pop which instantly reminded me of Detroit's Little Animal. Same sort of dreamy, trippy feeling, but maybe without as many slow jams, and with a bit of lush guitar. I feel like the two duos would be playing lots of shows together if Detroit and Philly weren't so far apart. This free mixtape was posted on their Bandcamp back in June, and it's not too late to get familiar. "The Birthday Circle" is still my favorite, but the more hip-hop-leaning "Surface" is growing on me as well.

Former MS exec says Natal will fail without 360 integration
Scot Bayless, industry vet and former studio manager at Microsoft, has said that he told the company back in 2008 Natal would "fail" unless it was integrated with Xbox 360.
Speaking with Retro Gamer in its latest issue, Bayless said that Natal will split consumers, and put off developers.
"When I met with Microsoft in 2008 to look at Natal I asked: 'When will you integrate this into the 360?' Their response was: 'We're probably going to wait and see on that.' To which I said: Then you're going to fail'", he said.
"Plays like this always fragment, and the disincentive to developers is powerful; when I'm spending tens of millions on a game, the last thing I want to do is lose 90 per cent of my market."
Yesterday, rumors about pricing and bundle plans for Natal surfaced, and it was also revealed that Microsoft may announced the formal name of the camera peripheral at E3 – which was not too surprising.
Bayless was a senior producer at Sega of America during the Mega Drive/Genesis era, and was also an executive at EA, Midway, and most recently Capcom.

Stewart makes stand in Derby, Oaks heats | videos
Emma Stewart will have a strong presence in the Victoria Derby and Victoria Oaks finals at Melton on Saturday night.
Her Cardigan stable withstood another powerful interstate and New Zealand challenge to claim two heats of the three-year-old classics at Ballarat Pacing Cup night on Saturday.
Maajida ($1.30 favourite) captured an Oaks heat, while Pacifico Dream ($3.50 favourite) took out a derby heat.
Each was first-up since the Breeders Crown series in August.
Maajida stretched her winning sequence to eight to stamp herself as a major contender for another age feature race. She will be joined by stablemate Amelia Rose in the final.
Stewart will be represented by Mach Dan, Mirragon and Pacifico Dream in the derby final.
Unfortunately the stable's star 2yo of last season and an early favourite for the Derby, Be Happy Mach, failed the qualify.
Stewart's biggest threat in the Oaks will come from New Zealand duo Stylish Memphis ($1.50 favourite) and Dr Susan ($5.60), which finished first and second in the other heat.

The other derby heats went to Queensland's Governor Dujon ($1.50 favourite) for trainer Grant Dixon and now NSW-based former New Zealander Line Up ($30.50) for trainer-driver Anthony Butt.
Burrumbeet trainer will also have a presence after qualifying Soho Gloria Jane (Oaks) and Soho Hamilton Derby.
Snake Valley's Damien Burns also put Youraremy Sunshine in the Derby final after another tough effort.

VETERAN trainer Jim O'Sullivan turned back the clock when unhoppled Neanger Guy ($7.80) saluted in the last event on Cup Night, the PETstock Assist Pace.
Once based in Ballarat, O'Sullivan won two Ballarat Pacing Cups. Inter Dominion champion My Lightning Blue scored in 1987 and multiple country cups winner Quite Famnous saluted in 1990.
While O'Sullivan was also in the cart on those occasions, this time that task went to his daughter Shannon, who is establishing herself as one of Victoria's most promising young drivers.
GREG Sugars took training honours on the night.
As well as snaring the Ballarat Pacing Cup on AGs White Socks, he had the reins on Maajida in a Victoria Oaks heat.
THIS year is not the first time NZ trainer Greg Hope has tasted success on Cup night.
He combined with reinsman Ricky May and top flight squaregaiter Monbet to take out an Australasian Trotting Championship heat back in 2016.

For his bookshop and website One Grand Books, the editor Aaron Hicklin asked people to name the 10 books they'd take with them if they were marooned on a desert island. The next in the series is Maggie Nelson, author of "The Argonauts" and a 2016 MacArthur fellow, who shares her list exclusively with T.
"Collected Works," Lorine Niedecker
Niedecker lived most of her life in Blackhawk Island, a remote and marshy setting in Wisconsin, where she scrubbed hospital floors and cared for her deaf mother while writing some of the most quixotic, minimalist, moving poems of the 20th century. I know many by heart, like this one: "My friend tree / I sawed you down / but I must attend / an older friend / the sun," but I still wouldn't want to be without the hard copy.
"Breathturn," Paul Celan, translated by Pierre Joris
This book brought me to poetry; I could never read it enough. Celan's poems are a radiant reminder of the most desolate events that can attend humankind (i.e. the Holocaust, suicidal despair) and its most resplendent features (the near mystical possibilities of poetic language, of intimacy). "Single counter- / swimmer, you / count them, touch them / all.'"
"The Fire Next Time," James Baldwin
I know, I know, it's made it onto a lot of lists. But there's simply no substitute for this model of lucidity and complexity, the virtues of thinking out loud, and ethical, literary and autobiographical inquiry.
"The Golden Bowl," Henry James
I adore Henry James and yet freely admit to never having made it all the way through this one. I have a strong suspicion something truly critical to my life lies in the last 50 pages, and if I were alone with it on a desert island, I would finally find out.
"The Selected Poems of T'ao Ch'ien," translated by David Hinton
Another book that brought me to poetry, and which never seems to get old (and this despite the fact that T'ao Ch'ien lived from 365 – 427 C.E.). I consider T'ao Ch'ien a calm, necessary friend holding out a hand across time: "A thousand years may be beyond me, / but I can turn this morning into forever."
"Scenes of Subjection: Terror, Slavery, and Self-Making in Nineteenth-Century America," Saidiya V. Hartman
Hartman eschews a focus on the more well-known, violent scenes of American racial subjugation to focus on the terrors and inequities that structured (and still structure) the slavery-to-emancipation period and narrative. A critical book for anyone aiming to understand how unfreedom masquerades as freedom.
"The Undercommons: Fugitive Planning & Black Study," Stefano Harney and Fred Moten
A series of co-written essays that set into motion expansive, mutinous, timely concepts, such as study, debt, surround, planning and the shipped. A difficult, beautiful, vertiginous, fortifying and enlivening piece of work that somehow makes the contemporary world, with all its horrors, seem worth being born into and living in, together.
"For the Time Being," Annie Dillard
Birth defects, ancient Chinese terra-cotta figures, the history of clouds, burning questions about suffering, numbers, evil and time — this strange gem of a book has it all. Each category of thought is a portal, and its structure is a thing of unfolding beauty.
"Close to the Knives: A Memoir of Disintegration," David Wojnarowicz
Published just before he died of AIDS, Wojnarowicz's memoir is a classic of outlaw literature and political fury. Wojnarowicz — who was a great artist as well as writer — wheels through his wickedly difficult childhood, the deaths of friends and lovers, great sex writing, thoughts about art, screeds against the likes of Jesse Helms, all the while facing down his own imminent demise. It's sad, funny, angry and transporting, a kaleidoscope on fire.
"To the Lighthouse," Virginia Woolf
As far as the modernists go, this is neck and neck with Beckett for number 10 (that's cheating, I know), but Woolf must win. Like Baldwin, Woolf has made many a top 10 list, but again, there's a reason: I know of no more gut-wrenching, soaring prose about shared consciousness, mortality and water. Truly a book for the cradle to the grave.

ISU-152 appreciation thread
leggasiini posted a topic in Russiay da fuq there is no ISU appreciation thread. This thing kicks ass. Platform is poopy but one word: BL-10. 750 alpha, 286 pen AP and 325 pen APCR, with still having good DPM. stronk balance comrade xaxaxaxaxaxax))))))))) Sold shitty Object 268 to get this thing back. Man i fell in love quickly, even though the trollcannon was worthy its name and trolled me first two matches. Having 750 alpha is just so awesome on tier 8. Its probably my favorite TD now (2nd after pre-HD Wolverine, i miss you ). One question though, what equipment you use on Stalin's ultimate super railgun platform? I use basic bushwanker set, aka rammer/binocs/camo net, but im considering to swap camo net for vents. Wont use optics over binocs because ISU has too low view range to reach 445 even with optics (i think?). RASSSHAAAAAAAAAAA
The IS3, so strong, it shapes meta?
GehakteMolen posted a topic in Metagame DiscussionThe IS3, Russian Bias to the max? After fighting the new improved version of the IS3 for some time now (and playing it a few games again myself) I can only wonder why, why is it so strong? Every tank is a balance of Firepower <> armor <> mobility <> soft stats, WG in the past sometimes failed spectacular, like giving a tank no armor (WTF-E100) so it ofc needs 300% firepower, but after a while that gets fixed. But the IS3...?? It was always the best tier 8 tanks, but after the HD rework + all the other changes to the game, i start to wonder what the hell they are thinking... IS3 gets a serious good gun, with amazing armor, excellent mobility, and good soft stats, whats the supposed `weakness`? IS3 has: 390 alpha dmg with good pen and dpm Good gun handling (if not excellent, the turret bloom is as good as Fv 215b turret bloom...) After the buff good frontal hull armor, the track things bounce a ton, forcing you to aim Best side armor in tier, capable of eating anything, especially HEAT, Turret armor on par with T32, aka imprevious to anything but luck shots Its also rly fast / agile, Due to pike + frontal turret + fast + 390 alpha dmg its an excellent corner fighter Its basically the fastest, best armored tier 8 heavy tank with the second best gun, i mean what? I mean, what weakness does it have? bad viewrange and camo? () and -5 gun depression? (lol) IS3 totally murder kills anything low tier or tier 8 spmm tank, 175 pen will barely penetrate an IS3, while the IS3 hammers 390 dmg straight through your front, KV5, IS6, Wz-111, they all get out muzzeled, out speed, or out-powered by the IS3 head on only a KV4 and KT can defeat an IS3, and thats pure due to penetration / hp / armor, and only in good situations, besides that its niche tanks like ISU or hull down T32.... Infact, the IS3 seems now so good, it starts to ``shape`` the entire meta at tier 8, there are hordes of IS3 all the time, and it wipes the floor with tier 6/7 tanks and premium tanks have serious problem with it, unless they spam gold, but AP-IS6 vs IS3....? Wot is like rock / paper / scissor, except the IS3 is a sledge hammer, which crushes the rock, brushes aside the paper and hammers down the scissor, GG Or am i seeing something wrong? Im not often `complaining` about a tank beiing OP, but the IS3 is rly ridiculous right now...
Need help with 3 marking KV-2Yes, you heard me right. This comrade needs your help in making Stalin proud. Can someone write down his own tips that would help me reach it? How much gold AP are you using? In which circumstances you would not use them? How do I call upon Stalin's hand to guide my shell? Does saying "Cyka blyat rush B!" help? I'm mostly having problem keeping up consistency, which I have hard time determining if I'm problem or gun.

God would rather die for us than live without us.
The Day of Atonement is evidence that God did not institute the sacrificial system to be a perpetual, endless cycle of fall, confession, and forgiveness without any conclusion.
The services performed daily for the corporate body of Israel provided for the transfer of sins into the temple, which by its many facets represents Christ. The Israelites were not expected to be present for the daily morning and evening sacrifices the priests offered for the entire camp. During the year, the only active participation was when the individual brought an animal to sacrifice for specific forgiveness. In both instances, the significance was the transfer of sin into the temple. Thus, it became defiled over the course of the year.
Similar to the daily ministry, at the cross almost the entire world was unaware of the existence of the event, and few of those who were aware understood its significance. Yet, on Him was laid the iniquity of us all (Isa. 53:6), regardless of our presence or identification with its significance. Mary Magdalene may have understood, but her statements in the garden on Sunday morning reveal she was not aware there would also be a resurrection.
The Day of Atonement was different from the daily ministry in that Israel was to afflict their souls, humble themselves and do no work (Lev. 16:29-31). This process started when the Feast of Trumpets began ten days before the Day of Atonement. Why the difference? It involves cleansing of the individual soul temple from sin, something God will never force. There will be a conscious and informed participation where the penitent will acknowledge his willingness for the Holy Spirit to do His work convicting of sin. The penitent will acknowledge his sin and acquiesce in the removal and transfer of those sins into the temple.
The camp was thus divided into two groups, those who participated by afflicting their souls, and those who did not. Logically, those who belonged to each group must be identified by a judgment, because the accuser of the brethren continually claims all of earth's inhabitants as his. It was this concept of judgment that alerted the pioneers of the Seventh-day Adventist Church to the proper explanation of the 2300-day prophecy of Daniel 8:14. It is after this process in the cosmic antitypical day of atonement that Christ declares: "Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me ..." (Rev. 22:12). Their decisions have all been made, and Christ has sealed His Bride. Those who refuse to participate in the cleansing process will receive the results of their choice (to be "cut off").
Those who accept at-one-ment with Christ and allow Him to wash their robes will be given the right to the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the City (Rev. 22:14). They are victorious over the beast, his image, and his number by submitting to the refiner's fire and are entitled to stand on the sea of glass mixed with fire surrounding the throne of God (Rev. 15:2).
The Psalmist declares, "Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary" (Psalm 77:13). The Day of Atonement demonstrates that new and living way, which Christ through His flesh has consecrated for us. He, coming in the flesh, identifying Himself with mankind in the flesh, has for us who are in this flesh consecrated a way from where we are to where He now is, at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens in the holiest of all.
The sacrifices and the service of the earthly sanctuary could not take away the sins of men, and so could not bring them to this perfection. But the sacrifice and the ministry of the true High Priest in the sanctuary and the true tabernacle do accomplish this. This does take away utterly every sin. And the worshiper is so truly purged that he has "no more conscience of sins" (Heb. 10:2).
Isaiah experienced a personal Day of Atonement (Isaiah 6). In his vision, he saw God sitting on His throne (mercy seat) with six-winged seraphim (the ark). After recognizing his sin he confessed it, fearing that he was "undone." Another expression for "I am undone" is "I am cut off," the punishment for those who refused to participate in the Day. Isaiah submitted to the cleansing process where a burning coal was touched to his lips. This was declared to have taken away his iniquity and forgiven his sin.
Those who have overcome the beast's system of self-worship are entitled to stand on the sea of glass (Rev. 15:2-4). They have exercised faith to follow Christ along the way He consecrated into His second apartment ministry. When the censor is cast down, there is no need for a mediator because in Christ they are already standing in the presence of God. They are now sealed "at one" with Christ, and in Him they are entitled to sing the song of Moses and the Lamb. Let us all eagerly welcome the refining process that results in at-one-ment.
