In my opinion, the most revealing American political event in the last decade was the Democratic Party's embrace of Hamilton, Not Just The Musical, and in the process doing a 180 away from Jeffersonian populism.
Hamilton: An American Musical 's identity as a liberal touchstone in these troubled times was affirmed when the audience boo'd Trumpveep Mike Pence when he attended the show, and he was addressed by the cast.
Ironically, the Clinton campaign actually recapitulated Hamilton's political failures (he was never elected to a major office, made his mark as an appointee and factotum to George Washington and, indeed, was shunted into political irrelevance by Jefferson and Madison in the last years of his life) in not having an effective populist strategy.
So you could say Pence was at the scene of the crime, examining the remnants of the elite bubble that popped electorally on November 8–as well as indicating his willingness to serve as Veep of All Americans, a bit of olivebranching that did not make it into the coverage.
Somewhat awkwardly for NeverTrumpers who clothe their opposition in the uncompromising rhetoric of anti-fascism, once Pence was in their clutches the outraged Dems did not tear him limb from limb accompanied by infuriated exhortations from the stage.
In fact, if political correctness was strictly enforced, the cast speech would have been condemned for "normalizing" the Trump administration i.e. acknowledging its legitimacy and power to rule and beseeching its benevolence:
Vice-president elect Pence, we welcome you and we truly thank you for joining us at Hamilton: An American Musical. We really do.
We, sir, are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our planet, our children, our parents — or defend us and uphold our inalienable rights, sir.
But we truly hope that this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and work on behalf of all of us. All of us.
We truly thank you for sharing this show — this wonderful American story told by a diverse group of men, women of different colors, creeds, and orientations.
And buy the cast album!
Nice support for my crack "Liberals don't fight fascism; they appease it."
But the true story of Hamilton, in my opinion, is that he established the federal government as a bulwark of elite privilege and a bastion of resistance against populist rule.
Not just because he was an elitist himself and saw the merits of running the country in the interests of and in cooperation with successful rich guys; but because he saw that the best protection against local secessionist sentiment that plagued early America was to give elites a big stake in the federal government and less incentive to collude in local mischief.
I actually went into this issue at enormous length in a previous post (reproduced below and itself excerpted from a "punishingly long" precursor post; you're welcome!) and patient readers will, I think, find my evidence persuasive.
The Democratic Party is now infatuated with the idea of "woke" i.e. enlightened and politically progressive elite rule a la Hamilton, perhaps because it is in thrall to its billionaire supporters like George Soros, who has not only lots of money but an ideology and global organization committed to perpetuating elite rule by the careful and scientific promotion of liberal principles concerning markets, geopolitics, and immigration.
The most fascinating and fraught element of elite-friendly rule, in my opinion, is the use of defining and redefining what and who is "America"—what forms the moral core and defines the proper trajectory of the nation—to slice and dice the rabble into relatively impotent, rulable ethnic and/or religious and/or national blocs and claim the more dynamic, unified, and useful groups as elite adjuncts.
The ugly word for this is co-option. And for the first two hundred years of its history, the elite has done its best to be white-friendly.
This year, noting demographic change and the strong identity of African Americans with Barack Obama, the Democratic Party placed its bets on "the Obama coalition" i.e. the cast of Hamilton.
Hamilton The Musical is a conscious exercise in redefinition, using revisionist casting of people of color, LBGQT etc. to assert the relevance of Hamilton and his exclusively white male milieu to the modern age.
Hillary Clinton placed a losing bet on this coalition. The dispute raging on the Internet was whether this bet was too early or too one-sided.
I vote for "inept".
If the Democrats get it together and find a candidate charismatic enough to appeal to enough of the white constituency while keeping the Obama coalition together, you know somebody like Barack Obama but isn't termed-out, maybe they can nudge a candidate over the finish line next time.
The Trump election may have been the last or next-to-last hurrah for the white conservative male bloc, whose plurality and political clout is slowly being eroded by the burgeoning membership of the "rainbow coalition".
Ironically, 2016 may have also been the last best chance for the African American bloc to assert its claim to a dominant political role in national political life.
African American demographics are also eroding and, with John Lewis' campaign to mobilize African Americans on behalf of Hillary Clinton coming up short—not only electorally, but in terms of turnout of black males, a group that I think was quietly alienated by the more strident "black women are saving the world" rhetoric and what appears to be a sidelining of black males who, I suspect, the Clinton campaign decided would be regarded as too scary and militant—2016 might mark the highwater mark of African American influence.
Following the election catastrophe, African American ambitions of "leading the Obama coalition" and acting as gatekeeper/king or queenmaker have taken a sizable knock and is the topic of much furious invective on the Internet right now, with the fascinating subtext that Sandernista socialism-lite, even with its electoral appeal, is apparently less attractive to the DNC elite than a shaky identity politics coalition that is, nevertheless neoliberal/globalization/free market friendly and a welcoming destination for the Soros/Democratic Alliance billions that are needed to run an effective national campaign nowadays.
Maybe in a few years, Soros The American Musical will take Broadway and liberal America by storm. Who will play Soros: Hispanic? Black? Woman? LGBTQ? Muslim? White? will provide an interesting road map of which way the Democratic Party is headed.

PUBLIC SERVANTS ARE to discuss today whether female employees should be offered specific time off for when they have severe period pains.
The Irish Independent reports that a 'menstrual leave' motion will be tabled at trade union Fórsa's conference today. The "progressive proposal" of up to three days leave aims to recognise the pain suffered by women.
Other countries like China, and some private companies such as Nike, have their own form of menstrual leave (more on this here).
So we're asking, do you think women should be given menstrual leave for when they suffer from severe period pains?

Identify what is blocking your path
Move towards success

Programmes to improve underlying processing ability have traditionally involved visiting a number of therapists and doing exercises at home. People rarely have problems in just one area, even though it might look as if they do, so successful programmes for learning and behavioural difficulties generally require many different interventions. Typically this will involve a developmental exercise programme or reflex inhibition programme, sound therapy, vision therapy, osteopathy and nutritional therapy. Complex kinesiology programmes designed for learning and behavioural problems also work very well and are particularly good at addressing causative factors. Many therapists offer a combination of approaches and will refer to other professionals
These programmes are quite expensive and time consuming, because there are usually many issues to be resolved. They are also not suitable for people who have only minor issues. Jane Lloyd has worked with these programmes for many years and developed a much simpler and more affordable system called Edutherapy, which she believes works even better. It can be used by itself, or alongside other intervention programmes, and it works both with adults and children. Since the delivery systems for the Edutherapy programme are located in people's own homes there is no requirement to visit a therapist and people all over the world are benefitting from the programme.

What is Functional Medicine?
Root Cause Care:
Functional medicine is in essence the medicine of WHY? Its ultimate goal is to treat every person as an individual with a complex interaction of genetics, environment and lifestyle as well as to seek out the root cause of each person's disease. It tires to determine the imbalance in the body, the root cause and influence one using lifestyle interventions such as nutrition, food, targeted supplementation, movement, relaxation, mindfulness, sleep among others. It is a partnership between the practitioner and the patient where together we determine your goals, aspirations and needs; working together towards your optimal health. Functional Medicine is a personalised approach that uses a systems oriented model aiming to empower you with the aid of your practitioner to achieve your highest expression of health.
Functional medicine practitioners are uniquely trained to assess the underlying causes of complex, chronic disease and apply strategies such as diet, exercise, sleep and rest to interrupt the cycle of chronic disease and prevent progression and or development of them in the first place.
Personalised Care:
Humans are all individuals first and foremost with unique genetics, environmental influences, social influences and biology. Treating all patients in the same manner simply is not working and functional medicine looks at chronic degenerative disease from a new perspective. For so long health care and medicine has been focusing on the symptoms of disease rather than the root cause of disease. Did you know that Diabetes and insulin resistance are not simply issues with glucose tolerance or blood sugar – but rather have multifactorial causes with many contributing elements such as dysregulated sleep, stress, a poor diet and much more.
Upstream Approach:
Functional medicine is an integrative, science-based approach that looks 'upstream' to consider the complex web of interactions to determine each individual's unique predisposing factors, triggering events and influences that contribute or perpetuate the symptoms and disease state. Functional/Lifestyle medicine looks at how a person eats, moves, rests, connects and thinks as well as a person's environment, lifestyle, genetics and health history to investigate the whole person and address them as a complex interconnected web. The focus is on optimising one's health and wellbeing rather than merely eliminating disease.
First and foremost, functional medicine is:
- Proactive
- Preventative
- Predictive
- Personalised
- Empowering
- Educational
- Interconnected
- Uncovers the upstream root causes of chronic degenerative disease
Functional Medicine enables practitioners and health professionals to practice proactive, predictive, personalized medicine, empowering patients to take an active role in their own health.

How Can You Benefit with Energy-Efficient Appliances?
Everybody knows that those factories and vehicles producing dark smoke toward the sky can definitely harm our environment. However, did you know that a regular home is accountable for more pollution compared to a regular vehicle? Most of the consumed energy in houses is sourced from power plants, which utilizes fossil fuels to generate the electricity that powers most of the electrical product that every American home practically has. The burning of fossil fuel contributes to global warming, acid rain, smog and it causes air pollution. Meaning, your air conditioner, washing machine, and oven contribute to the issues that our environment is facing.
Although, you should not throw your appliances and abstain from using them just yet. Instead, you can actually aid in minimizing your personal carbon footprint by changing to energy-efficient options and appliances. Such appliances are intended to utilize the minimum amount of the needed energy for it to function. This means that there will be a reduced need to use fossil fuels. Some use renewable energy sources like solar energy or water. Below are some of the advantages you can have once you switch to energy-efficient appliances.
You can save money
Everybody would love to save some bucks on their energy consumption, switching to energy-efficient appliances can help you realize that goal. A lot of household claim that they have saved up to 400 dollars every year on their utility bills for every appliance that are changed by a refrigerator or dishwasher that's Energy-Star rated. Aside from that, anticipate to save money on appliance repair service St. Louis since there's a reduced need put on the appliance.
You can save energy
Energy-efficient appliances utilize the least number of energy required to finish a task. They usually need nearly half the amount of the needed electricity by their old counterparts. Once you switch to such appliances, you will help save greenhouse gas emissions—approximately 130,000 pounds—from getting into the environment all throughout the appliances' lifetime.
It can increase your resale value
If you're considering selling your house one of these days, upgrading your traditional appliances with new models that are energy-efficient ones can aid to boost your sale price. A lot of prospective property buyers look particularly for houses that are armored with new energy-efficient upgrades and Energy Star appliances since its one less thing they'll get to change themselves. Also, it can be sufficient to seal the deal for a prospective purchaser who is still thinking about whether or not to buy your property.
Get a tax credit
Changing your appliances into energy-efficient ones can even help you in saving more money once the tax season comes in. A lot of states provide homeowners energy tax credit for those who took some measures to minimize their consumption of energy, such as changing your appliances into energy-efficient ones. Aside from that, taxpayers could get a credit of nearly 10% of the appliance's whole expenses that you have spent for it. It's fairly a great deal for homeowners who want to save money over time.Read More

There comes a time in every young professional's life when:
A. They need to learn how to make friends in the real world.
B. Networking becomes an integral part of their career or business.
But here's the thing – most people think networking and immediately imagine some boring event their boss is making them attend. They imagine obnoxious name tags, bad drinks and a windowless hotel room. They also imagine forced conversations with people who sound like car salesmen.
I'm here to tell you it doesn't have to be that way!
As I write this I am preparing for a crazy week of professional and personal networking events. Some of these were planned while, others were – well – a surprise. Since I know I need to brush up on some of my skills I figured it would be pretty nifty to share some networking tips with you all.
(Note: Most of these events are for women. If any of you local Miami ladies would like to join some awesome groups let me know!)
Event #1: HerFuture.com Miami Meet-Up (AKA Spirit Junkies Invade Starbucks)
I'm finally meeting some positively empowered women in Miami (other than my friends) thanks to HerFuture.com. For those of you who don't know, HerFuture.com is a networking site that was created by my favorite authors, speakers and spiritual teachers Gabrielle Bernstein. It's purpose is to help like-minded women find mentors and support for anything from career to family.
Thanks to this lovely site I found the Miami Power Posse and we planned a small get together so we could all meet other like-minded women in this crazy city of 2 million people.
My co-worker is coming with as well so it should be a fun time.
Event #2: LocalLEVO Miami Launch
I've been a contributor to The Levo League for quite some time and I AM SO PSYCHED that they are bringing their LocalLEVO meetups to Miami! I've got an influencer dinner and a netWORKOUT spinning class. So happy that I'm going to get to meet other Levo Ladies in the Magic City. If you're in Miami and would like to come to the spinning class send me a message at amanda [at] gradmeetsworld [dot] org.
Event #3: Business Meeting? Planning for a possible future event?
One of my main goals through Grad Meets World is to provide coaching, lectures and events in order to empower a generation of young professionals who will forever be affected by The Great Recession – especially on a local level. I've met a fitness trainer/fellow personal development junkie through a mutual friend who has a similar vision and I'm so excited to possibly be collaborating with her. We're meeting later this week to get to know each other and possibly plan an event together.
Phew! That's a loaded week right there! What is an ambitious Gen Y gal supposed to do?
Networking Tip #1: Listen more than you speak.
There was a recent article in The Miami Herald about how effective listening can help you land a job or propel your current career further. This is also a concept that has come up a lot during coaching classes in the form of Power Listening.
Simply put, great conversationalists also happen to be great listeners. Stay present, listen fully and then put your two cents in. No one likes a person who can't shut up about themselves or their business.
Networking Tip #2: Give rather than receive.
If you walk into a networking event with an "I need to get something" mentality you can bet your bottom dollar people are going to sniff you out. Don't get me wrong, it's great to make some connections for yourself or your business, but there's a difference between looking out for yourself and genuinely wanting to connect with others.
The next time you find yourself networking try coming from a giving perspective. See how you can help others. Maybe you have a book recommendation or there's a great yoga studio you know of. By coming from a place of giving rather than getting, you'll make more meaningful connections, and who knows – maybe those connections will help your business.
Networking Tip #3: Have fun!
Networking events aren't about forced situations in windowless hotel rooms where you've got a "Hello My Name Is…" sticker. In fact, these days networking can be as simple as going out for coffee!
With that being said, only go to events you'll actually enjoy! Have some fun, make friends! Not everything has to be about business or your career.
Just make sure not to have too much fun…no one likes the office lush.
For more on networking tips check out this awesome video Marie Forleo posted recently – Networking Basics: 8 Tips to Networking Without Being Fake.
Happy Networking everybody!

The NoFloods Barrier was called into action for the first time in the Brittany region in France to protect 3 towns during the January 2014 flooding.
When extensive rain caused the water to rise in the Oust and the Blavet rivers, the towns of Josselin, Pontivy and Redon deployed the NoFloods Twin Tube 125cm Mobile Dam to protect their residents from potential damage. Fortunately, the situation only became serious in the rues des Moulins in Pontivy, where the NoFloods Barrier successfully held back the water that rose to a level that threatened people and infrastructure.
The French military Sécurité Civile had been testing the NoFloods barrier extensively before procuring a few kilometers in past years. The barrier was also deployed in Troyes during the floodings in the summer of 2013, where it prevented flood damage to homes along the Seine. With all these recent successful deployments, it is no surprise that the Sécurité Civile has now signed a new 4-year contract with Environment Solutions. The NoFloods barrier is quick and easy to deploy and is particularly suited for distances over 200 meters.

For retailers, it is getting really challenging to pitch their products to potential buyers, as a customer is bombarded with so many advertising and marketing messages every day. Most of which get ignored. So retailers have to adopt a smart approach with not only their product development ideas but with packaging as well. A kickass item packaged blandly would definitely be rejected by the consumers. To win over a customer's attention and then his/her loyalty, you need to go beyond and make your product and packaging equally worth noticing. Many thriving businesses believe that they don't have to improve their product packaging after a certain period of time, the notion is utterly wrong. Customers are very demanding, have a short attention span and get bored quite easily. So if you are retailer struggling to get your product popular across your target market, here are the vital elements of packaging you need to consider!
An Original and Beguiling Design
Whether you are trying to sell an accessory, an apparel item or a cosmetic product, the layout of your packaging is your first impression. So think about your custom retail boxes as an opportunity to introduce your business and products to the potential consumers. You can't risk leaving a bad or incomplete impression. Come up with a dandy packaging design and blend it with your brand details to create a striking appeal. Be inclusive with your branding and product information so that a customer would get a fair enough idea about who you are in just a glance. You don't really need to be too abstract with the artwork of your packaging for retail items, instead keep the template relatable, simple yet terrific enough to grab attention. Don't miss out on any essential design details.
Packaging that has Finesse and Lasts Long
Even if you have nailed a dandy design for your retail boxes for packaging, if they don't have finesse and durability a customer wouldn't buy from you again. Be it an apparel box, a makeup packaging box or custom vape packaging, never compromise on quality. There are a number of stock options available to you, be meticulous about making a choice. Have a detailed overview of various printing materials; compare their features like thickness, usability and price before making a choice. Durable retail packaging would not only assist you in selling more and better, it would enhance the shelf life of your merchandise as well. If you intend to export your product range, you definitely need superior quality custom packaging boxes. For tea, coffee and similar retailers, it is all the way more important to have resilient packaging solutions for their products.
Detailed Packaging that Answers Questions
Another important factor that you need to consider for your custom retail packaging is the details it can offer to potential consumers. A shirt box should have all the details about the kind of fabric, washing and care instructions along with other necessary information that a buyer would like to have while making a purchase. Make sure that you list down all the answers to a customer's questions so that he/she doesn't have to look around or search for them. There are many retail products that need to have ingredients and best before date mentioned on the packaging. Retailers should focus on making the packaging useful and detailed for the potential buyers. For new products, it is important to mention all the benefits and instructions to use on custom packaging boxes to facilitate the potential buyers.
Packaging that a Customer would like to keep
Think about your retail boxes as more than a packaging solution. Make them multipurpose enough so that customers stock them up with a product, this would make your brand memorable with a wider clientele. Jewelry boxes designed with cushion pads to protect the stones and metal from getting tarnished are stored with the ring, bracelet or a necklace. A customer would definitely come back to that jewelry shop for repair, repurchase or selling an item. Similarly other retailers should focus on offering customers packaging that can be stocked up with the product. A dress, an accessory, a belt, a tie and similar items can be stored with their custom boxes. The logo, tagline and contact details on these boxes would help a buyer remember a retailer and come back for more.
Look out for professional expertise while getting your wholesale boxes for retail printed. Talk out your concerns of design, versatility, purposefulness and branding with a printer before signing up for the services. Do compare prices and turnaround time of various printing companies before making a choice but don't compromise on quality ever. Your product packaging defines your business and ethics, don't risk it.

SSS-Song of The Day: "Ooh Baby Baby" by The Miracles
The Miracles "Ooh Baby Baby"Written by Smokey Robinson and fellow Miracle Pete Moore and produced by Robinson, "Ooo Baby Baby" was a number 4 hit on the Billboard R&B singles chart and reached number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100. A slow, remorseful number, "Ooo Baby Baby" features Miracles lead singer Smokey Robinson lamenting the fact that he cheated on his woman, and begging for her to overlook his mistakes and please forgive him. The song's highly emotional feel is supported by the Miracles' tight background harmonies, arranged by Miracles member and song co-author Pete Moore, and a lush orchestral arrangement that accents The Funk Brothers band's instrumental track. The song is also widely known from being apart of the movie Cooleyhigh. The song has been rerecorded by artists such as Shalamar, The Moments, The Five Stairsteps, Ella Fitzgerald, Bunny Sigler and Linda Ronstadt. This timeless classic remains the highlight of Smokey Robinson's show as well as one of the most sensual love songs of all time. Enjoy a classic performance from the 1960's with The Miracles Enjoy an impromptu performance with Smokey Robinson & Aretha Franklin Enjoy a performance of "Ooh Baby Baby" with Smokey Robinson & Darryl Hall

Sustainable cocoa production "paramount" to supply
Without investment in sustainable production the future of the global cocoa industry is uncertain, new research suggests.
Across the main categories in which cocoa ingredients are used, the value sales of those products featuring either a Rainforest Alliance label or a Sustainable Trade and Farming label (Fairtrade, UTZ Certified, etc) is set to reach $8.9 billion in 2017, according to a report by market research company Euromonitor International. Between 2015 and 2020, this value is forecast to grow 1.3%, with products featuring the Rainforest Alliance label the strongest performers.
Helen Reavell, contributing analyst at Euromonitor, says, "Sustainability in the cocoa industry continues to be of great importance. Without investment in sustainable production the future of the global cocoa industry is uncertain. The use of certification schemes builds consumer confidence in cocoa-related products.
"Unsurprisingly, it is chocolate confectionery products that are contributing most to the total value sales of products featuring these labels, as these labels are closely linked to sustainable certification schemes for cocoa.
"However, with the usage of cocoa ingredients prevalent across a wide range of categories, the use of certified cocoa is still valid across more than just chocolate confectionery.
The data also shows which companies are using these labels on pack. For example, Mondelēz accounted for 67% value share of the chocolate confectionery featuring a Fairtrade label, with both its Cadbury's and Green & Black's products using Fairtrade cocoa.
Western Europe is set to remain the largest region for cocoa ingredients, despite a fall in share from 31% of global consumption in 2015 to 29% by 2020. The reduction, Euromonitor says, is driven by growth in other regions, most notably Asia Pacific. The region will continue to be the strongest performer to 2020, with forecast absolute volume growth of over 165,000 tonnes between 2015 and 2020.
At the same time, North America is likely to remain weak, with a CAGR of less than 1% from 2015-2020. This is due to a decline in demand for chocolate confectionery, as consumers switch to other snack foods, particularly healthier ones. Eastern Europe is also set to remain a weak market and is unlikely to see much growth in consumption over the forecast period.
Meanwhile, growth is expected in Latin America and the Middle East and Africa, although they both remain relatively small markets with 10% and 5% shares respectively of global volumes in 2015.
Reavell adds, "Sustainability continues to be a key issue across the cocoa industry. Indeed, the sustainable production of cocoa is paramount if producing countries are to continue to maintain supply, which for many is vital to their economies. Therefore, it is in the interest of those involved in the cocoa industry to take an active role in managing a sustainable supply."

"We've got your number, white people. If you look like a racist (white) you probably are."
…because only white people can be racist. Well argued.
Well who would have thought it in a million years but an Eastenders actress, Linda Henry is facing trial for 'allegations' of racism. That's right, a blonde cockney reject, probably better remembered for her performance in Bad Girls (whatever that's worth), has been naughty enough to warrant an actual public trial to prove she has been guilty of this actual crime as postulated by law.
I reckon she's a big fat racist y'know. I say this because I've a wedge of evidence supporting my 'allegations' of racism against a number of individuals but the police advised me instead to shut down my social networks and threatened me with criminal proceedings for a few words I said regarding all 4 billion men on the planet. Despite the facts, that racism is illegal and that as a victim I have the right to justice (allegedly) I wasn't acknowledged in this respect. Ms…

Lobeco Zip Code - South Carolina
The US ZIP Code basic format consists of five decimal numerical digits assigned to the Lobeco City.

I like this topic and the first thing that came to mind was a photo I took earlier this week. So forgive me, but I'm cheating a little for this post by using a photo I posted recently. Really recently, ha!
I love this tree. It fascinates me. They way it bends seems impossible in many way. All the other trees stand straight up, but this one bends like a dancer arches their back. For a dancer they require a strong core and a strong foundation. This tree does the same. I can only imagine the root structure beneath the earth that provides the needed support. The trunk itself has to be incredibly strong to not snap in half. Then there's the top. The icing. The glitter on the dancer that catches the eye. It's beautiful how the snow and frost sit on the branches.

Natalie Fenton and Shih-Jung Hsu are ISTR's keynote speakers for the closing session of the conference on Friday July 13, 2018, entitled Transforming Democratic Contexts: Challenges for the Third Sector.
This session will focus on how civil society responds to disruptions to democracy and climate change.
Natalie Fenton is Professor of Media and Communications, Goldsmiths, University of London where she is the co-director of Goldsmiths Leverhulme Media Research Centre and the Centre for the Study of Global Media and Democracy. She is also the research lead for Civil Society Futures (CSF) – an independent inquiry into civil society in England in partnership with Forum for the Future, CitizensUK and openDemocracy. Natalie's own research addresses issues relating to civil society, voluntary sector, political resistance, democracy and the media. She is active in civil society herself as Chair of the Media Reform Coalition and (until recently) as Vice-chair of the Board of Directors for the campaign group Hacked Off – both of which campaign for a free, plural and accountable media. Her latest book is Digital, Political, Radical (Polity 2016).
At the conference, Dr. Fenton will discuss the interim findings from Civil Society Futures: An Inquiry into Civil Society in England – an effort to consider how civil society can best prepare for the futures that may lie ahead. She will discuss emergent social, political and economic strategies developed from new ways of thinking about how economic and social lives connect through attempts to put more power in the hands of more people.
Shih-Jung Hsu is currently Professor of the Department of Land Economics at the National Chengchi University (NCCU), Taiwan, and is the Director of the Center for the Third Sector. Dr. Hsu's research concentrates on local environmental movements, urban and rural planning, land use policy, and sustainable development in Taiwan. He was former president of the Taiwan Association of Third Sector Research (TATSR). He is also a leading activist in Taiwan, and he has established one important NGO — the Taiwan Rural Front (TRF) to help farmers and local residents against land grabbing and forced eviction from the state, and he served as founding president of the TRF. His recent book, Land Justice, has received the National Tripod Award 2017 from the Chinese Ministry of Culture.
Dr. Hsu received his Ph.D. degree from the College of Urban Affairs and Public Policy, University of Delaware, USA (1995). He also possesses two Masters degrees, one in Political Science from the University of Delaware (1990); the other one in Land Economics from the NCCU (1986).
At the conference, Dr. Hsu will discuss his current research efforts: (1) Land governance and Taiwan's sustainable development, (2) land use policy and its historical context, (3) environmental and human right NGOs in Taiwan.

This column is meant to offer our best predictions on what players will/will not play, as of 8 AM ET on Sunday. For the official active/inactive reports, please see our Latest NFL Player News.
Championship Week has arrived in many leagues, while others commemorate their semi-final rounds this weekend. As is often the case this time of year, key injuries, especially at quarterback and wide receiver, serve as the proverbial lump of coal in many Fantasy owners' stockings. With so much riding on Week 16 outcomes, let's take a look at the latest medical outlook for all of the players that could potentially make it a happy holiday for your Fantasy fortunes:
This week's new marquee quarterback absence is Cam Newton, who the Panthers finally opted to shut down after the quarterback struggled with his ailing throwing shoulder for multiple weeks. Enter Taylor Heinicke, who has 14,959 passing yards and a 132:39 TD:INT on his resume from his four years at Old Dominion. Heinicke even has a little Newton to his game, at least near the goal line, as he also compiled 22 rushing touchdowns during his college career. However, he'll come into Sunday's divisional battle versus the Falcons having thrown all of five regular-season NFL passes. His insertion into the starting lineup downgrades the Panthers' pass catchers overall, with one notable exception – Christian McCaffrey, who could see at least a slight uptick in his already robust pass-catching volume while serving as the second-year

Engage teachers, students, parents, administrators, pastoral heads, housemasters, even governors and trustees. Firefly's 360° views give shared visibility among everyone in the school community, across the full scope of each student's school experience.
As well as supporting outstanding academic outcomes, schools use Firefly to transcend the traditional classroom space. Whether looking at an individual child's progress, sharing news and updates from the term, or organising a school trip, continuous two-way dialogues – teacher-led conversations via any device, using text, video, audio – enable mutual understanding and better outcomes with students and parents.
NAIS Hong Kong found that it was almost impossible to really understand the daily activities of their students. In addition to this, more than 70% of their parents wanted to get better insights into their child's progress in school.
Since rolling out Firefly, adoption is now close the 100% - almost 120 teachers work with the platform on a daily basis to set homework, give feedback and share resources with their students. The leadership team is now able to get a 'live' view into the classrooms of the school, and 90% of parents reported feeling more positive about the school's engagement process.

Ain't Scared of your Jails
After watching the film, Ain't Scared of your Jails, I have a lot more insight to the problem of segregation. Before watching the film, I had never really known much about segregation. In high school we never went as in depth as the movie did. The freedom riders stood out the most to me. Seeing the types of violence that went on towards the bus passengers was pretty horrific. It was not only towards the blacks either. Whites would beat up on other white people also, just because they were associated and helping the blacks. A quote from the movie I picked out is when a young man is talking to his worried mother on the telephone, all he can say is "be cool momma, be cool". I am sure it was very tough for her to just be cool, knowing that her son could end up either hurt or dead.

It was insane how people reacted during this time in history. For example, when the governer of alabama refused to secure the freedom riders their safety. Why not? Maybe because he was a biggot. There is no excuse for that ignorance.ReplyDelete
I agree with you on that one. It's sad to know that people were that ignorant qne believe in indiffernece of people by there color of there skin.ReplyDelete

All he wanted was to buy the last copy of Summer Wars, that was literally it and what does he have to show for it? Absolutely nothing since he bought it, and had ended up entering Equestria as one of the most ferocious villains of said movie. But hey at least there's one pony who is willing to be his friend right?
Join Ethan/Love-Machine and his weird friends on the funny, exciting, adventures they'll all have together or at least that's what they're all hoping, but knowing Ethan's luck it isn't going to end well for him. He has only one thing to ask?

Boy, did we have a busy weekend. Then again, don't we always seem to have busy weekends?
For me, it was a movie marathon weekend, unplanned. As I said in my previous post, honey brought home two movies Friday night, and we watched both of them that night. Then, Saturday I went out to dinner and to the movies with some girlfriends, and we watched 'Ghost of Girlfriends Past.'
It was alright. I am a big fan of romantic comedies. I adore Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner.
But, through all the silly stuff of the movie, it did have some really sweet true meanings of what love is about. Jennifer, looks different, but still pretty as always. Matthew is his usual character, the jerk that always knows how to turn it on right in time, to win over your heart, and he is just so cute, you can't say no. You ladies know what I mean?
If you are looking to see it, I think it can surely be one of those movies that can wait to arrive on DVD. Just one's opinion. It was fun hanging out with some girls for once. It is amazing what a few little hours of girl time can do for a women, mother and wife.
Oh, and while watching previews at the movies, I know the next movie I want to see. It's called "My Sisters Keeper". Yes, it's going to be a tear jerker. It's about a family and their daughter is sick with cancer. It looks really good though.
Sunday, was busy as well. We went to church, heard a rock'n message. Then headed up North to Hunter's double-header game, and then stopped by some friends house for an hour, before heading home. Baby girl was a trooper, having barely gotten in a single nap, she didn't fuss at all. She did fall asleep on the way home, and she was so tired that she kept waking up last night, so today we will get her back on her schedule.
Last night.
Yes, last night or early evening should I say, because there was still some light out. I was hanging with Morgan and I opened the back door to the patio to let her see out, while she was propped up on my hip. When all of the sudden, I noticed these two pigeons mating on the fence. It was a funny site to see and being the
picture nerd photographer I am, I sit Morgan down and start running toward my camera. When all of the sudden I totally and completely wiped out. When I say 'wiped out', I mean WIPED OUT! As Mark would say, I was "handle over teapot" or something like that. Or is that " ass over tea kettle?"
It all happened so fast, it almost took me a second to realize what the heck just happened to me. Why was I laying on my butt in the middle of my kitchen floor, in pain? I laid there for a second trying to decide if I wanted to cry and or needed to go to the hospital.
Where was Mark, you ask?
My honey, was um... he was um..... in a meeting? LOL! He was busy, let's just say.
So, I lie on the floor alone, with Morgan looking at me. I try to get up and my arm and my left knee are hurting, but keeping the focus as any real photographer would. I go for the camera, limping back to the back door. Only to see that the birds where finished and gone. Sounds familiar sometimes doesn't it ladies? HA!! No, it was not me that just said that.
You know we have to tease the boys now and then.
Oh yea, it so was NOT ME that did any of that. I made it all up.
Now, I am reminded also, why I tell the kids "no running" in the house!!! Geez!!
So, because I missed the pigeon matting photo opportunity. I had to google it, and the first image that came up, looked exactly like I was trying to photograph. Just incase you need the 'visual' part of the story, like me. HA!
Oh, and remember THIS post?
Well, its out. So, if you receive FRONTGATE catalogs and their summer catalog called SPLASH. My photos are in them from those shoots I mentioned on here back in February.
Check them out.
Thats me on the orange chair, picture is actually inside the magazine.
What about your hair, Misty? Today, was the day you had to have your mind made up.
Yea, I know.
But, I still don't have it made up.
However, I think I am going to leave it be for now. I like it. My BFF (ex agent of many years) also says to keep it, for it will be more flexible with the modeling stuff. She is SO SMART. LOL! And then yesterday out of no where, honey says "I think I really like your hair like this."
Okay, ladies, you know when your man says any form of compliment like that, the BIG RED STOP SIGN appears in your head and you take a mental note....."honey really likes this cut". And we store it there for however long....telling ourselves to not mess with it.
Honey is always saying he loves my hair no matter what, as long as I don't die it black, shave it off or cut it as short as Sharon Stones. He isn't all that picky, I guess. HA! So, when I can get an actually "I think I really like your hair like this" kind of comment from him, I take it.
Thanks for all the votes.....
Its funny, because 3 of my girlfriends this weekend all cut their hair SHORT. I still have the itch, and I still may, but it just isn't going to happen today.
Besides, I still haven't had the chance to try the curled look. I want to see what that looks like on me.
So the hair is staying like this for now.
PS: It is not me, that is totally limping around like a goober today. Sigh!

4.3. Factor Analysis In order to meet the objective of the research, EFA has been used to reduce the number of variables to a smaller set of factors (Hair et al., 2006; Field, 2013) and to minimize the problem of multicollinearity (Malhotra and Dash, 2011). The motive is to find the degree of dependency of these individual variables on the dependent variable.
The whole set of data has been compiled in SPSS 21. The execution of the project started with the grouping of the variables using factor analysis, and then the relationship between the dependent variable and the predictors has been established using multiple regression analysis. The output in the form of regression equation has been analyzed at the last of thetopic.

The variables identified in the research and the data sample collected on these variables are input to EFA. Through EFA, the number of variables is reduced to a fewer set of factors using varimax rotation. The EFA technique is widely used for the reduction of the problem of multicollinearity among the variables. The criteria for EFA for finalizing the factor structure are as follows (Hair et al., 2006): 1 Correlation matrix and Anti-Image Matrix results show how suitable the data is for the EFA technique. These have been used as a tool to filter out the variables not adequate for factor analysis (Field, 2013).
2 Kieser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) value and Bartlett's test for sphericity are used as measures of sampling adequacy. To meet the criteria, the KMO value must be more than 0.8 With the KMO value of 0.922, and Bartlett's significance value of 0.
000, the sample collected is extremely adequate (Hair et al., 2006; Field, 2013). 3 Further the factor loading defines the amount of correlation between the variables and the factors to which they belong. The factor loading value can vary from –1 to +1 and square of any of these numbers defines the amount of variability accounted for this factor.
Lower factor loading values, i.e. less than 0.5 and lower communality variables are filtered from the data set (Hair et al., 2006; Field, 2013). 4 The Eigen value amounts the total variance explained by the factors.
It is also a kind of filtering technique, as the factors with Eigen values greater than 1 are considered. As we can see in the table below, there are in all 6 factors which have Eigen value greater than 1 (Hair et al., 2006). 5 The percentage variance defines the percentage of total variance being explained by that particular factor.
