Austin, Texas (PRWEB) March 11, 2013
SoundCloud, the world's leading audio platform, announced today a powerful new way for music & audio creators to build their presence on the platform by simplifying its subscription plans and introducing a new beta program, Pro Partner, for content and brand partners.
The first Pro Partners have been selected from across the audio spectrum - brands including Red Bull Sound Select, artist and producer Snoop Lion, audio partners including Chris Hardwick's Nerdist, not-for-profit organization The Recording Academy® producers of The GRAMMY®s, musician The-Dream, Kevin Smith's SModcast, The Guardian, Blue Mic, KQED, and Blue Bottle Coffee.
Pro Partners gain access to a more visual profile, including the option of a 'Moving Sound', which enhances a particular piece of sound with a series of images. Moving sounds can be reposted to appear and expand in the Streams of those people who choose to view them. Pro Partners will also have the unique ability to promote their profile via the new 'Promoted Profile' feature, which highlights their profilewithin the 'Who to Follow' section of users' Stream pages. The new features maximize the exposure of Pro Partners to the millions of people who visit the web app each month.
Red Bull Sound Select and The GRAMMY®s are two key examples. Red Bull Sound Select debuts today its Pro Partner profile on SoundCloud, using the new features to highlight sounds from its Sound Select platform, powered by SoundCloud. A number of Sound Select artists will perform at SoundCloud's SXSW venue before beginning Red Bull's five days of music in Austin. The GRAMMY®s Pro Partner profile showcases winning submissions to its CenterStage powered by GRAMMY Amplifier program - an innovative program utilizing the SoundCloud platform and designed to provide professional mentoring and exposure for artists. On March 12th, the selected winners will be announced at SoundCloud's Creator Clubhouse event in Austin.
Affirming SoundCloud's commitment to music & audio creators everywhere, the new Pro and Pro Unlimited subscriptions replace the previously existing Lite, Solo, Pro and Pro Plus accounts, streamlining the most useful features, offering higher upload limits and more comprehensive analytics at lower monthly & yearly rates. In addition, valuable features from the experimental Pro Partner tier will quickly be added to the other Pro tiers, ensuring that all levels of music & audio creator benefit from new developments on the product. If users are currently on a yearly plan, they can continue to use it until it is due to expire, with all functionality available on Classic SoundCloud if you can't find it on the new SoundCloud. If users currently have a monthly plan, they will switch to the new Pro options when their next due to renew.
Pro will be offered at the lower price of €3 monthly and €9 monthly for Pro Unlimited. The price for Pro Partner varies from partner to partner.
"We're excited to be working with such a well-known group of partners to develop new ways to showcase their music & audio on the SoundCloud platform," said founder & CTO Eric Wahlforss. "Over the coming months, we'll be iterating on new features to see which ones resonate with our Community and making the best ones available to our Pro and Pro Unlimited subscribers. Our new Pro accounts make our best paid features more accessible, bring content and brand partners more visibly to the platform, and allow music & audio creators to be heard everywhere."
The launch of Pro subscriptions coincides with other new features to further boost the discoverability of music & audio creators on SoundCloud, including an upgraded version of the 'Who to Follow' based on improved algorithms.
SoundCloud is hosting an event with select Pro Partners and members of its Community at SXSW on March 12 - 13th. Conference attendees are encouraged to stop by SoundCloud's "Creator Clubhouse" located at: Waller Creek Boathouse (74 Trinity Street, Austin, Texas) or check out (http://clubhouse.soundcloud.com/) for more details.

ALPS Mountaineering Compression Sack
? Share a...
Here's what others have to say...
i like these but not #1 to me
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I bought this compression sack even though I have another brand of compression sack that I am in love with. this sack did its job, I don't really have any complaints. why is this a 4 and not a 5... really just because I still love Sea To Summit Ultra-Sil eVent Compression Dry Sack so much! the alps bag feels thicker and not as movable to me. but it does do its job.
Rachel Barrett
Rust M can compress a 20* sleeping bag
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These sizing charts are so confusing and it's so hard to tell how much your item can actually compress. So here's what worked for me: I have a 20* synthetic REI sleeping bag that couldn't fit in the small at all, but was perfect in the medium!
Solid and durable
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This is a very solid and durable compression sack for your bag or other soft goods. I put my long, 0 degree Marmot bag in the large and had room enough for my clothes and pillow on top. It is a bit heavy so I would recommend something else if you are looking to shave weight.
Ashley VanSumeren
I have a North Face Aleutian 20 Sleeping Bag. What size is recommended for my bag?
Jared Downs
Hey Ashley,
So the The North Face Aleutian Sleeping Bag: 20 Degree Synthetic in a the regular version has a packed size of 9" x 17"
This comes to be 1081.5 cubic inches or 17.75 liters.
So for 17.75 liters, I'd suggest the M Liters for this stuff sack.
Shoot me an email if you have any questions at all!

What compression sack size should I use for the sleeping bag ALPS MOUNTAINEERING CRESCENT LAKE 0 DEGREE REGULAR SYNTHETIC?
Jared Downs
Hey Rodrigo,
So the ALPS Mountaineering Crescent Lake Sleeping Bag: 20 Degree Synthetic in a the regular version has a packed size of 9" x 18"
This comes to be 1145 cubic inches or 18.75 liters.
So for 18.75 liters, I'd suggest the M Liters for this stuff sack.
Shoot me an email if you have any questions at all!

I have the womens 15dg solera mummy and im looking at getting a quality compression bag, it came with a large one but my sleeping bag rolling skills are pretty decent and i end up with way too much extra room. Anyone have a comparable bag or sizing opinion.
Rock solid, but also rock heavy!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This is a super tough compression sack. I've used it maybe 4-5 times so I can't comment on the longevity, but it feels really burly and seems like it'll last quite awhile. The only downside is the weight... it's got long straps, good buckles and a zip pocket at the top, which are all awesome features, but that definitely takes it out of ultralight or even "light" contention. That said, it feels like it will outlast me and at that price point, it's pretty awesome. I got the medium and I can cram by big fluffy zero degree down bag in it no problem. I don't think a zero degree bag would fit into the small unless you wanted to go to battle with it every time, but I could fit my 20 degree down bag into a small no problem.
What would be a good size for a standard sleeping bag?
Eric Watford
For most synthetic mummy bags I would go with a medium. For a synthetic semi-rectangular bag I would go with a large. For a down mummy I would go with a small. For a down semi-rectangular I would go with a medium. Lots of differences between bags though. Give me a shout and we can discuss further.

I'm trying to compare this to other compression sacks, which have size listed by volume. Do you happen to have a liter size on these? (I think I may need to look at a size large).

What size would best fit a Kelty Cosmic 0 sleeping bag? I am getting ready to order the bag but it doesn't come with a compression sack(So I have read in the reviews.)

Hey wil1412600556,
I would suggest you get this compression sack in a size large so you can compress the Kelty Cosmic 0 bag down. I hope this helps.
Rusty Olds
Fantastic sack!

What can you say. Its lightweight, durable, soundly constructed and works as advertised with no disappointments.
I've a MTH Lamina 0 sleeping Bag : 0 degree regular what size of Compression Sack would I get ?
I have the mountain hardwear phantom 0 bag and the medium works perfect

Sankaty Advisors Dump Their Shares in Fortress 15th October 2010 The fourth largest shareholder of HLS funder, Fortress Investment Group have announced their de-investment with them. The campaign received a letter today from Sankaty's solicitors, which was handed to London activists on a demo outside their offices: "To whom it may concern: We represent Sankaty Advisors and have been authorised to confirm that neither Sankaty Advisors, nor any of the funds that it manages, has a position in Fortress Investment Group or Huntingdon Life Sciences. Sankaty expects to report this fact publicly in the December 31, 2010 Form 13F that it files with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Sincerely John Lutz" (for Sankaty Advisors) FORTRESS - Hundreds of companies have vowed to stop dealing with HLS over the years and yours is just another barrier in the way between the cruelty you fund and HLS end. We will continue to protest at all and any company that supports you, or HLS, your conferences and any business or dealings that makes your unfeeling corporate life bearable. Because while you continue to make the lives of the animals hell inside HLS with your funding of the cruel, torturous company, we will do our best to return that evil, morally corrupt act back to you in the most unexpected ways, until all are free and while you continue to be part of the killing machine at HLS we will not back down!! http://www.shac.net/news/2010/october/15.html

Pilot seniority dispute may create a roadblock in Delta-Northwest talks
ATLANTA - Northwest Airlines Corp. pilots have integration issues to sort out. Not just the ones with their counterparts at Delta Air Lines Inc. that threaten to scuttle talks to combine the two carriers. The ones with Republic Airlines. From 1986. An arbitrator is still sorting out seniority questions from that deal, illustrating just how much the point matters. Employees at the top of the list get first choice on vacations, the best routes and the bigger planes that they get paid more for flying. The boards of Delta and Northwest had been expected to vote Wednesday on a combination projected to be worth $20 billion if a pilot deal was in place. Because of the impasse, the meetings could simply be briefings or might be canceled altogether. Delta and Northwest don't need a labor agreement between the pilots unions before announcing a combination, but having one in place could help speed up the integration of the companies down the line. Sears settles lawsuit over ovens ST. LOUIS - Sears Holdings Corp. will install safety brackets on its stoves in millions of households or offer gift cards in settling an Illinois class-action lawsuit over the appliances' supposed propensity to topple. Under an agreement signed off on last month by a Madison County judge, Hoffman Estates, Ill.-based Sears will offer to fix all brands of its freestanding or slide-in kitchen ranges in as many as 3.9 million homes by bolting them to a wall or floor. The deal covers Sears ranges sold from mid-2000 through last Sept. 18, when a judge granted the settlement temporary approval. The deal resolving the lawsuit dating to July 2004 also requires Sears to install safety brackets in newly purchased ranges for the next three years.More like this story

Accessory chlorophyll proteins in cyanobacterial photosystem I
Barber, James, Nield, Jon, Duncan, James and Bibby, Thomas S. (2007) Accessory chlorophyll proteins in cyanobacterial photosystem I. In, Golbeck, John H. (ed.) Photosystem I: The Light-Driven Plastocyanin: Ferredoxin Oxidoreductase. Dordrecht, The Netherlands, Springer, 99-117. (Advances in Photosynthesis and Respiration 24). (doi:10.1007/978-1-4020-4256-0_9).
Full text not available from this repository.
The IsiA protein accumulates in many cyanobacteria under conditions of iron starvation. It is a Chl a-binding protein, which is closely related to the six-transmembrane α-helical antenna family typified by CP43 of PS II. One of its functions is to provide an efficient accessory light harvesting system for Photosystem I (PS I) by forming a ring of 18 IsiA subunits around the trimeric reaction center core. This response is probably to compensate for a drop in the PS I level relative to Photosystem II (PS II) and, the level of phycobiliproteins, in response to iron deficiency. A similar accessory light harvesting system for PS I has been shown to occur in cyanobacteria that do not contain phycobiliproteins, often termed prochlorophytes. This light harvesting system is composed of Pcb proteins that are closely related to IsiA but bind Chl b as well as Chl a. Unlike IsiA, Pcb proteins can also provide accessory light harvesting systems for PS II. Some cyanobacteria contain phycobiliproteins and Pcb proteins, where both are able to function as light harvesting systems. In one case the Pcb protein seems to bind only Chl a (Fischerella muscicola) while in another they bind Chl a (Acaryochloris marina). Sequence analysis indicates that the IsiA/Pcb proteins have very similar pigment binding sites to those of CP43 and to a lesser extent to the other reaction center proteins of this family and have the capacity to accommodate several different forms of Chl. The six-transmembrane α-helical Chl-binding proteins, of which IsiA and Pcb are members, seem to have evolved from a basic evolutionary building block providing both internal and accessory light harvesting systems for a wide range of photosynthetic organisms.

By Miriam Myers , GreatSchools Staff
In this math activity your child explores prediction and probability using different colored socks.
Talk with your child about probability, the chance or likelihood of a certain event occurring. Explain that probability can be expressed as a ratio of the number of specific events or outcomes to the total number of possible events or outcomes. Go over examples of probability with your child, such as the probability of a coin being tossed heads up (1/2 ). What is the probability of rolling an odd number on a die? (3/6) or (1/2).
Have your child grab 10 socks from his sock drawer, making sure they are different colors. Have your child go through each color and write down the probability of picking each sock. For example if there are three white socks the probability is 3/10 for white. Put the socks in a bag and have your child predict which color sock he will pull out. After he has chosen a sock, have him write down the color chosen and put the sock back in the bag. Have him continue this nine more times. When he is done have him compare the probability to the outcomes.

This product was a great gift for my 5 year old granddaughter. She loves it
I think my only complaint about this product is that, for the price, I would expect either more special features, or a digital copy, or something - but that's Disney for you. Otherwise this is a great movie, and it was sent in a very timely fashion.
granddaughter loved the DVD. This was a good addition to her collection
Delivered in a timely manner, I love the movie, and I always love the low shipping costs at overstock.com!
Thank You!! Shipping was great and the movie was just what it said it was

Scallion Pancakes
- Total Time:
- 3 hr 34 min
- Prep:
- 40 min
- Inactive:
- 2 hr 30 min
- Cook:
- 24 min
- Yield:
- 6 pancakes
- Level:
- Intermediate
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- Kosher salt
- 1 to 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening, at room temperature
- 5 scallions, finely chopped
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Sift the flour and 3/4 teaspoon salt into a large bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup hot water until blended. If the dough is dry, add up to 2 more tablespoons water. Knead on a lightly floured surface until elastic yet firm, about 5 minutes. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 30 minutes.
Divide the dough into 6 pieces and keep covered. One at a time, roll each piece into a 4-inch-long log, then stretch into a 14-inch-long rope. Brush with shortening and sprinkle with about 1 tablespoon scallion. Coil the dough into a circle, cover and set aside. Repeat with the remaining dough. Flatten the coils with your hand on a floured surface, then roll with a floured rolling pin into a thin circle. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pancake and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and repeat with the remaining pancakes, adding more oil as needed. Cut into wedges to serve.
For a dipping sauce, mix 1 tablespoon each sesame oil and sugar, 2 tablespoons each water and soy sauce and sliced scallions.

Home invasion question
Suppose you have a home invader, armed with a gun that surprises you and your wife (6 year old daughter asleep in her room). He has the drop on you and you cannot grab your gun and shoot. Further assume that the invader briefly turns his back to you and you are able to draw and shoot him. what would be the potential legal repercussions might occur from shooting him in the back.
Personally, I would take the shot. He is an armed invader threatening your family. What do you guys/gals think?

The legal difference would be whether he is turning to leave or simply making an error in judgement or being distracted by something.
If you are in serious fear of imminent bodily harm then the law does not require that the BG is facing you.

As far as the morality of the issue.... I think it would be immoral to not shoot the intruder. |

The Energy Independence Security Act of 2007 (E.I.S.A.), is forcing innovation to an old standard for the good. The E.I.S.A. standards call for better performing and more efficient lighting. That means that starting in 2012 (2011 for California's accelerated schedule) inefficient lighting options will be phased out in place of more energy efficient options. The goal is that all sockets will be filled with energy efficient options by 2014. Here's an exact breakdown of the E.I.S.A standards:
Rated Lumens |
Max Rated Wattage |
Min Rated Lifetime |
Effective Date |
1490-2600 |
72 |
1,000 |
1/1/2012 |
1050-1489 |
53 |
1,000 |
1/1/2013 |
750-1049 |
43 |
1,000 |
1/1/2014 |
310-749 |
29 |
1,000 |
1/1/2014 |
The law is not banning incandescent lighting, it is just creating a standard for lighting that traditional incandescent lamps do not meet. The government is creating this standard for lighting, because it is in the public's best interest. These standards are ensuring the quality and safety of the public, just like they have on many products on the market today.
These new lighting standards are phasing out the blubs that you have come accustom to, but they are offering a lot more options that fit the energy efficient standards. Here are some options to keep in mind when shopping for light bulbs to meet the new requirements; the Compact Fluorescent Light bulb, the LED, and Halogen bulbs. There is no need to panic, all of these new lighting options are optimized for specific applications and will provide you with energy efficient lighting that will look great in you specific space.
For additional information see "Light bulb standards begin taking effect in 2012" published by the US Energy Information Administration (EIA).

Docile, mild-mannered, and congenial, Rag-dolls make ideal indoor companions. One of the nicest features of these cats is their laid-back, sweet personality. They are playful but are not overactive. Known to adapt easily to their environment, Ragdolls get along well with children and adults, as well as cats and dogs. They are easily trained to stay off the counter and are affectionate without being overly demanding. They have soft, polite voices, even at dinnertime, even though they are renowned for their enthusiasm for food.
The Ragdoll comes in the four traditional pointed colors: seal, chocolate, blue and lilac; and three divisions: solid or colorpoint, particolor mitted, and particolor bicolor. Solid division Ragdolls have darker, well-defined points. Body color is a shade lighter than point color, and soft shadings of color are allowed on the body. No white patches are allowed. Mitted Ragdolls possess well-defined points, except on the feet where they have a matched set of white mittens. Hind legs are entirely white, but the white extends no higher than mid-thigh. A white blaze can decorate the nose. Bicolors boast a white mask like an inverted 'V', plus white on all four legs, feet, stomach, chest, and ruff. Other white patches and markings can appear, except on the points, which are darker and well-defined.

Strategic Planning
Comments & Suggestions Form | Archive
SWOSU Work Plan Strategic Planning
SWOSU has a tradition of developing strategic plans, which includes: strategic plans for 1998-2003 and 2005-2010. those documents are archived on the web site at this link. The planning continues since SWOSU completed another successful regional continuing accreditation commitment from the North Central Association-the Higher Learning Commission in 2010-2011 for a full ten years. An administrative decision was made to bid out strategic planning to facilitate this open and deliberative process. SWOSU selected Penson Associates, Inc. to facilitate the process.
The SWOSU Planning & Resource Council, which builds from past strategic plans, the recent Self-Study and Team Report by HLC, diverse focus group discussions, and relevant documents; will create a Strategic Plan to guide the future of the University. Particular emphasis will be placed on identifying a stronger strategic position for SWOSU and a selected number of high impact initiatives to strengthen academic distinction, to enhance the student experience, and to advance service to a diverse region and local community.
The planning process will be:
- Driven by statements of Values, Vision, and the SWOSU Mission,
- Positive
- Mindful of campus culture, history, traditions, and prior planning,
- Open and collaborative,
- Implementable, and
- Creative.
- The Planning & Resource Council will guide and drive the process with support from subcommittees that will draw in a variety of stakeholders.
- Stakeholders are defined as representatives from the student body, staff, faculty, and community leaders.
- There will be regular contact with the President and University leadership throughout the process.
- On-site representatives provide administrative support and President Beutler selected the chair of the Planning & Resource Council who is Dr. Cynthia Foust.
- The SWOSU Strategic Plan will seek to align with the mission and plans for the Oklahoma State Regents Higher Education and the Regional University System of Oklahoma.
- The role of the Consultants is to facilitate a planning process that is largely completed by SWOSU rather than to create the plan.
- The process will utilize a conversational approach where people address a set of fundamental questions that lead to the essential elements of a strategic plan, rather than placing heavy emphasis on planning language and jargon.
- In keeping with this collaborative approach, SWOSU will provide the assistance needed for this planning project.
- SWOSU will maintain a web site on which information about the process can be posted: presentations, agendas, minutes, etc.
- The project begins spring 2012.

Actually two women's lives.
Last night a group of 30 inspiring women around Australia gave two micro loans. These 30 women came from all walks of life – a mum from a farm in north west NSW, an artist from Melbourne, a mining consultant from central Queensland…
Over the last 6 weeks this powerful group of women completed the 6 Step Challenge, 10thousandgirl's new 'Michelle Bridges' style online personal finance program. And they blitzed it!!
They documented their life plans, tracked their spending, worked out their net worth, negotiated rates on home loans, high interest savers and utility bills. They reviewed their insurance, consolidated super. They discussed investment principles and the behaviour of cash, property and shares. They opened super letters for the first time and made calls to their super fund to change their investment mix to fit with their age and stage. In week 4 they documented their personal investing plans, asking themselves:
- What are my #1 financial goals?
- How much money do I need for each goal?
- When do I need it? What's my timeframe?
- What investment options suit that goal and timeframe?
- What are my next steps?
And last night they wrapped up by mapping out their personal and professional support networks. They discussed the different professional support roles, how to find trusted advisors and learnt good questions to ask when approaching and engaging an adviser.
Then they wrapped up with an INSPIRATION FEST. Discussing what inspires them, who do they inspire? How do they stay inspired?
Well, wonderful women. You certainly inspired me. Thank you for your Ripple Effect. May it be felt across your life, among your family and friends lives, in your work and community life and as part of your program fee, you each donated $10 into a pool and were able to donate two micro loans, one to Merelita Marama and one to Linita Ponitini.
So thank you for your globally felt Ripple Effect…
Merelita Marama, Nasautoka Fiji
Activity: Manufacturing
Loan Use: Sewing
Term: 26 Week
Some people are born with a natural talent. Merelita Marama (47) is one of them. She loves sewing for the people in her village and is a skilled seamstress. Merelita has built a steady client base among her friends, neighbours, office workers and church members. With her loan, she intends to buy more sewing equipment to help expand her business. Merelita is certain she will make greater profits, which will improve the lives of her four children.
Linita Ponitini, Tonga
Activity: Farming
Loan Use: Farm produce
Term: 52 Week
Linita Ponitini has three children under twelve. Her goal is to build a house for her family. She and her husband grow a range of crops, which Linita sells in the local market. But their profits are insufficient to cover both family and business expenses. So Linita is seeking a loan to buy seeds and seedlings to increase the farm's production and yield.

Just read a blog on the MoneySoft site that made me go 'yeah, that's me too!' Have you hit that age or stage where dreams of marrying a prince are slipping away and you're finding yourself thinking about money??
Here's Amy's story… 'Before I was a mum, I was a woman who enjoyed shopping for myself, being out with friends and family, paying for Foxtel to make sure I was update with every show and movie available on this planet. I enjoyed manicures, pedicures, facials, dinner parties, brunches, shopping online, spending summer days at the beach and having a quick drink before heading home. I drove everywhere, not really stressing about the cost of parking meters, or parking stations. Late nights splurging on food and drinks was not an issue as I could most probably sleep in the next day and if not have a quick nap before meeting up with friends for dinner. Everything seemed simple. Life was simple. What I wanted I did with no care in the world.
Something happened between my twenty's and my thirties. I would always put it down to "well that's what happens when you start having kids"…but in actual fact it's just that my priorities shifted. I woke up one day thinking hang on (and that's a PG version of what I was really thinking) why has everything changed? At what point did I become so money conscious and when did I start loosing sleep over this matter?
I can't tell you exactly when or why but it happened. I found myself regretting a lot of my decisions from my younger days. What if I didn't live paycheck to pay check, what if I saved a bit here and there, maybe just maybe I wouldn't be in the predicament that I'm in now. When friends were all putting deposits on their investment properties I was that hippy saying "Enjoy life, life is short, we have plenty of time to work our a$$' off and worry about money" then I would laugh and go home and think how I have got it so down packed this thing called life…. Just quietly I think those friends are now laughing.
Something had to be done it was getting ridiculous, having twins, a husband and all the pressures of life I no longer craved the 'what I wanted I did with no care in the world' kind of approach. My husband who is equally if not more a little 'whatever' with our finances came up with a great idea, pretend like we don't have money. The first few months was great, we set up separate accounts to which our income was assigned to and another account for all our bills to come out of. We did the whole take food from home for lunch, put our left over coins in a jar at the end of the day, started selling a few bits and pieces online for some extra income, but slowly slowly our spending demons started resurfacing and scratching through the few months of hard work we had put in. In the end we looked at each other and..' READ FULL ARTICLE >>
Did you know the average credit card debt in Australia is $3500? And paying minimum repayments at the average interest rate of 21.5% could take over 90 years to pay off?
Shocking but true.
In a recent article in The Sydney Morning Herald 'Plot a path to turn red into black', some basic tips to get yourself out of a credit card pickle were shared along with case studies which show it can be done.
Here are some other tips and resources to help get on top of debt and back into black:
- Managing debt
- Creating a Debt Repayment Plan (video tutorial)
- Reaching your savings goal
- Credit Card Calculator
TIP!! If you are consolidating debt, make sure you are careful of your credit rating, making multiple applications for credit cards etc can impact your ability to apply for a home loan etc. at a later date. Talk to your bank manager/s but don't let them log any applications for you unless they're 100% sure you will get it. You can check your credit history by getting a free copy of your credit report from these credit reporting agencies:
- MyCreditFile.com.au (Veda Advantage) – 1300 762 207
- Dun and Bradstreet – 132 333
TIP!! Paying a little more than the minimum repayments on your credit card can mean the difference between having the debt for 90 years or 2!
Start small, be strategic, keep on it and you'll get there in no time.
NAME: Sarah Power
ATTENDED: Life Planning Workshop Canberra June 2010
I have always been a daydreamer. Ever since I was little I would spend hours day dreaming about my future and about who I would be when I grew up. At the time I attended the Canberra Life Planning Workshop in June 2010 I had just turned 30 and despite amassing 30 years of day dreams I realised that I hadn't actually achieved any of my dreams or even knew which ones I wanted to achieve. As for how to start achieving, no clue!! I kept waiting for things to fall into place, the perfect job at the perfect time, skills magically appearing to start a new hobby (and be the best rock star ever discovered), buying my dream home, starting my perfect lifestyle and obviously winning lotto to make all of this happen.
It has now been just over 12 months since I attended the Life Planning Workshop and guess what, I won lotto! Nope, telling lies, I didn't win lotto. I did however learn to make realistic goals and that there is nothing wrong with a little bit of planning! The beauty of the workshop, and what 10thousandgirl is about, is how to identify what is important in your life, how to create goals to align with these aspects and then how to make finance work for you to support your goals.
Creating a life plan was an epiphany for me, along with the realisation that making plans and putting words/dreams into action isn't all that hard if you view it as part of your journey. So I decided to stop waiting for things to happen for me and to start making things happen!
And to prove it's all not talk, I actually ticked off a lot of little actions and ended up ticking off a pretty big goal. I created and launched my own range of organic bed linen that is unique and a heartfelt part of me. www.ohmabel.com.au commenced operation in April this year and have had a tremendous response to the concept. Oh Mabel may not take over the world in terms of retail or the bed linen industry, however I hope that by starting and achieving this goal, that the result will set me up to continue enjoying a life that I have created as opposed to continuing a life where I felt I was just following the well trodden line.
I feel that so much is now possible, and that is due to the tools I learnt from 10thousandgirl and their amazing Girls (thanks Zoe!) and from what I have learnt from starting Oh Mabel, is that there's never any point in saying 'Nope too hard'.
I am now excited about the prospect of the next 10 years and am determined to keep dreaming so that I can live them out instead of wishing. Thanks 10thousandgirl!
Thank you Sarah and your wonderful enterprise Oh Mabel looks fabulous – we all want to jump into that bed in the field :)
So what exactly is microfinance? 10thousandgirl's microfinance partner, Opportunity International help us go back to basics and explain the concept before Jhunu and Minati share their story.
What is microfinance?
Microfinance includes basic financial services – including small loans, savings accounts, fund transfers and insurance. Alongside non-financial services such as business training, microfinance assists people living in poverty who wouldn't usually qualify for regular banking services because they have no form of collateral or formal identification.
Loans as small as $100 help people in poverty start or grow their own small business. This enables them to earn an income so they can afford food, clean water, proper shelter and an education for their children.
Through local partners in the countries where we work, Opportunity is a provider of socially focused microfinance – existing to help people out of poverty above all else.
How does it work?
By helping a mother buy a sewing machine to start a tailoring business or a father buy seeds to plant a vegetable garden, small loans enable people in poverty to earn an income and provide for their families. As each business grows, loans are paid back and lent out again. With 97% of loans repaid, the cycle continues, year after year. Each successful business feeds a family, employs more people and eventually helps empower a whole community.

One of our favourite 10thousandgirls, Marie Delaitre generously shares her journey, tips and lessons from playing her way into the sharemarket.
Would you like to have fifty thousand dollars to invest in the sharemarket?
The ASX sharemarket game allows you to play with fifty thousand 'pretend' dollars (risk free), and learn about the sharemarket for three months. It sounded like a good deal to me, so I signed up!
Three months later, I made a nice little profit of $3,694 … ok, a 'pretend' profit of $3,694. In the game, 21% of the 10,000 players made a profit. I came 92nd in NSW (out of 3,300 players), which is not bad for a first time player and novice.
Here is what I can share with you.
General lessons from the Sharemarket Game and our GIG (Girl Investment Group)
- Buy what you can afford. If your investments are going to keep you up at night and have you constantly fretting on share price movements, it could end up driving you batty. Keep it simple and fun.
- Do your own research. Don't just follow what someone else has to say. People can seem very knowledgeable about 'a good company to invest in', but it's your money, your risk.
- Good companies come good in the long term. Hang in there through price dips; remember that shares are long term investments. During the game, when a market rumour about one of my companies made the price fall – I panicked and quickly sold out at a loss (even though I had bought because I knew it to be a solid company). The price eventually came back up, but I had already sold. It was a good learning experience.
- Have a plan. Know whether you are making a gain or loss along the way (know your rate of return – is it better than putting money in the bank?), and know when you will step out.
- Diversify. Don't put all your money in the one company/industry (the ASX game makes you do this by default, you can't have more that a certain percentage of your portfolio in one company). This means that if one company/ industry does badly, you don't lose all your money.
- If you are investing and researching yourself, it can be time consuming, know how much time you wish to invest too.
- Don't just 'guess' – build a strategy based on facts, not hunches. I created a watchlist of ASX companies who have 2 or more women on their Board of Directors – and started to track their performance over 4 month. So far, the results are not as magical as I had expected. What sounds good in theory, may not work out in the market. The watchlist functionality on the ASX website is a good way of seeing how a share performs, without actually investing.
- Keep your records straight! When buying real shares, ensure some of the routine stuff is completed from the outset – eg: have you given the company instructions to pay your dividends directly to your bank account, are you able to participate in a dividend re-investment plan, do they have your tax file number?
Lessons from playing
- During the game, having a ranking helped me feel 'confident' that I was doing fine. If my shares went down, but so did the leader, then I wasn't worried. When this was not the case, I spent more time looking at whether the shares from one company were being significantly affected. Outside the game, I will try to follow an index which resembles my portfolio to keep my confidence up – and calm my nerves.
- I checked on my portfolio once or twice a week during the game. The newsletters from the game were a good prompt to check on my portfolio. I did not make too many changes – once I chose a company to buy into, I held on to it.
- Buying small packets of shares (less than $1,000) can make it hard to make a good return in the short term due to brokerage fees.
My friends have asked me whether I would do the same things if it was my own money – and to be honest, whilst I really liked the profit I made in the game – if I had $50,00 I would be afraid to just invest it in the way I did. So my goal is to start with small investment bundles – use the principles and habits I have been learning to build a portfolio over time.
I suspect that when I read this in a few years time, I will have leant new things and methods, but this is one of the first steps – and I wanted to share it with others who are thinking of buying shares on the sharemarket directly.
Possible actions to get you started:
- Your first investment in the sharemarket could be an investment in learning about the market, while you save up to buy some of your own shares. The ASX runs the game twice a year, and you need to pre-register. Check online at www.asx.com.au for the next registration date.
- Choose one or two companies to follow (put them on your ASX watchlist)– and when you have enough saved up and are ready to try investing, buy some shares using an online trading account. Small investments build up, and over time, you will be glad you took a step in!
Marie is actively involved in a GIG (Girl Investment Group) in Sydney. The group of 8 meet in one of the girl's homes each month and learn about the basic financial principles; how and when to invest in shares and property, what the options are when it comes to choosing a managed fund, how to be proactive when it comes to super and insurance and what new investment opportunities are becoming available in the fields of ethical or responsible investing. Most importantly, the girls are clear on their plans and goals and keep each other accountable to staying on track. Oh and they manage to have a vino, laugh hysterically and make sure everyone's love lives are tracking along well too… To start a GIG in your area, check the website or contact 10thousandgirl to see if there are others looking for like minds to form a group near you.
Name: Rebecca Darman
Attended: Life Planning Workshop, Canberra 14 May 2011
I was an attendee at the 10thousandgirl workshop in Canberra last month and have been telling friends about it ever since. Before the workshop, I was doing pretty well for myself. I had completed my university studies and bought a house around 6 months ago with my partner. We worked really hard, and saved up for a couple of years before we found 'the one.' Purchasing a home was a goal that me and my partner shared, and we were so proud to have achieved it together. From that time, our sole focus went to paying off the mortgage. There was money coming in from our salaries, but lots going out to different areas, like bills, food, cars etc. We were in a good position, but had never written down a detailed budget. I was slightly uncomfortable about this, and felt we needed to keep track of our money flow, and needed more balance between our financial responsibilities while also having a decent portion allocated to enjoyment and hobbies.
I got more than I expected out of the 10thousandgirl workshop, and didn't think I could learn so much about finances, goal setting and myself in one day and in such a fun friendly environment. I really enjoyed the financial aspects, they were practical and very applicable to my situation. Activities like drawing up a money flow diagram, and writing down a spending plan were really helpful, as was the Q & A session with the experts. In terms of goal setting, I was really inspired to dream big! Before the workshop, I had goals floating around in my head, but getting them down on paper and making an action plan, brought them closer to reality. Making a vision board was lots of fun and seeing it each day keeps me really motivated as well. One of my goals for the future is to live in Mexico and help those less fortunate. Giving something back to society would give me much fulfillment.
Since attending the workshop, my partner and I have had a few discussions about our individual goals and priorities. It's a really interesting exercise, and something we hadn't really done at length before. We're both also working on our own bucket lists.
The 10thousandgirl workshop equipped me with some great skills and knowledge. I left feeling inspired and believing anything's possible. There are no goals too extravagant or ridiculous. Grab life by the cajones!
Each time we have a success, whether it be letting our mind be opened, taking action on something we've been putting off, starting a business or deciding to help someone else – when we share it, our success turns into inspiration for many others. This is what we call the ripple effect. Below are some inspiring emails received recently from powerful women who have attended 10thousandgirl Life Planning Workshops.
If you would like to share your story, ask a question or help them with their incredible dreams and plans in any way, please contact us and we'll make it happen. Thank you to everyone who has shared their learnings, tips, challenges and successes along the way. Sharing makes the world go round, keep sharing and well done!
SUN 27th MARCH 2011 HI Guys, I come from a very low income family and its hard to see my dad still renting and not being able to afford a car at the age of 65. I now feel like the world of personal finance is an exciting area for me to learn more about. That figuring out how to create the lifestyle I want and the finances to match it is a creative process. I feel really empowered by yesterday. DareDreamer (Sydney) |
TUES 19th APRIL 2011 Hi Arienne, The research group just sounds amazing. What I would like to do is look at getting a group together from June when I move to Newcastle. I am really interested in getting some of this amazing information and education out to women who are or have been in situations of Domestic Violence. I myself am in recent recovery from an abusive relationship where one of my barriers to getting out was a lack of confidence in managing my finances. I am really grateful and inspired by the opportunity I have had to attend a 10thousandgirl workshop. The timing was amazing for me as it has given me alot of encouragement and support that I was needing to move forward into a new life with confidence. A big question on my mind right now is how to get the same learning and confidence around finance to women before they get to their 'final straw' in abuse relationships?? It seems like a hard one because these sorts of situations leave women very isolated. At the very least, I believe maybe it could be possible to get a group of women together maybe, that have experienced Domestic Violence situations and through learning in the research group find out where we can reach out to further lift women up…. I wanted to share a little about where my thoughts are at around 10thhousand girl because I really believe in what you gals are doing and it is spurring on many ideas and inspirations for myself. I hope that I can be successful in forming a GIG in the next few months, I would be overjoyed if thats how it rolls. I will keep you updated and please if you have have any feedback on my thoughts I'd love to hear what you think! :) All the best! DareDreamer (Scone) |
TUES 19th APRIL 2011 Hey hey Arienne and Zoe, thought I'd let you know what I've been up to since the 10000girl weekend I had.
Anyway, I just wanted to share. The most intense stuff is still ahead ! ie the INSPIRE goals!! DareDreamer (Sydney) |
THURS 28th APRIL 2011 Hi Zoe I attended one of your fantastic life planning workshops in June (Canberra) last year and I just wanted to touch base to once again say thank you, and to show you what that day has done for me. Being able to set a life plan/goals for myself, and along with the realisation that the nice things that I want in my life are not just going to happen, they will require planning, totally forced me to look at what I wanted and how I was going to get there. So for the last year, I took all that on board and started to make things happen, and to appreciate that all the small things (and the hard things) were part of living a journey. And it made such a difference to my life and outlook in general having that realisation, as opposed to waiting for things to happen. And complaining when they didn't! So nearly a year on from that day, and this week I launched my own little venture – www.ohmabel.com.au. An online store selling my 100% organic bed linen. So thank you SO much once again. I truly believe that without that great day last year and without your guidance and tools that I wouldn't be where I am. Good luck for all the future achievements of 10 Thousand Girls and I'm sure that there are many many aspired girls out there you and your team have helped. Thank you. DareDreamer (Canberra) |
Again, thank you girls. By sharing your gratitude, dreams and inspiration, you inspire many. If these girls have inspired you, please share your story.
Vive the Ripple Effect.
I AM A GIRL – following my dream of gender equality
By Rebecca Barry
A few years ago I was moved to tears as I read a magazine article about the plight of girls. Despite technological advances and the abundance of wealth, today we live in a world that openly discriminates girls. Being born a girl becomes the basis from which the most incomprehensible violence, health issues and abuse transpires.
Knowing this information bought me to the point where I asked myself the question, what can I do about this? I decided to make a film that could reach out to a broader audience to inform and also give people the opportunity to connect and do something through transmedia.
The vision for the I Am A Girl is pure and simple – to weave a universal story through the voices of ten girls in ten different locations around the world dealing with different challenges. It is my dream, that when finished this film becomes a tool to use in every classroom and one that the community reflects upon and inspires action. I am excited by the change this film can bring to the world.
You can watch the trailer here: http://www.indiegogo.com/I-Am-A-Girl and help us make it happen by donating and sharing this link with your friends.
So far this film and online project has captured the imaginations of many individual and organisations including Documentary Australia Foundation and philanthropic donations from the Intrepid Foundation and Women's Plans Foundation. We hope you can help our dream come to life and the improve the lives of girls everywhere.

Well it's that time of year where a lot of us reflect, dream and plan. As the old saying goes, if you fail to plan, you plan to fail so we've put together a range of worksheets to provide some structure around this process. Some of you may have downloaded them from the December newsletter and be all sorted for the year. For others, here goes, dream big and enjoy!
Step 1. REFLECT: Download your Year in Review worksheet.
Step 2. DREAM: Review, refresh or create your 101 list. For some initial inspiration and ideas, check out this blog. Download a blank 101 list here.
Step 3. PLAN: Once you've delved into your creative powers to create a magnificent 101 list and reviewed the goals you may already have, it's time to set and break down your goals for 2011 with the Goal Setting Action Sheet. Breaking down your goals down into do-able steps then putting the action items in your diary or calendar ensures your dreams come down from the clouds and become a reality. It's important and helpful also to share your plans and to hold each other accountable. Let's face it, we all have our days where we'd rather turn our backs on our dreams but in the end, facing the challenges head on is where the true reward really is.
Enjoy the process. We'd love you hear your plans and goals so please share with us via email, facebook, or for that matter, via any other creative outlet.
Have you got a bucket list? A list of 101 goals? People you'd like to meet, places you'd like to explore, passions you'd like to embrace?

On a swirling winter's day in the heart of industrial Alexandria, I blustered in from the rain to the HQ of Napoleon Perdis, for my first introduction to the 10thousandgirl project.
Not knowing what to expect, I was amazed to stumble upon a hive of feminine activity. Part boardroom, part boudoir, the Napoleon office was filled with warm chatter, smiling women, soft music, and the smell of hot coffee. The large table was strewn with make-up, copies of Flirting with Finance and plates of dainty biscuits, with not a man or a briefcase in sight!
Led by the effervescent and positively charming Zoe, we all made our introductions and I was amazed at how open and individual everyone was. The aim of the day was to paint a picture of where we wanted to be, and create a road map to get there.
Firstly, Zoe asked us to look at our value systems, our beliefs, and habits – that when trotted out like a pair of well worn slippers, can become inhibiting. 'I never have enough time' or 'I'm terrible with money' immediately sprung to mind.
We looked at why we held these beliefs and if we wanted to, what we could replace them with. By saying 'what's the worst that could happen? Or 'trust your instinct more', it suddenly seemed easier to find a sense of empowerment to move forward, rather than stay in a rut.
We made vision boards, ate sushi, had makeovers and in my favourite part, painted a picture of our lives in 10 years time. By creating a story that involved living by the water, kids, pets, rustic furniture, a library full of books and for some reason, fruit trees, it made it easier to imagine this as a reality. We did the same thing for five years time, one year and eventually, broke it down into specific steps to take away.
One of the 'light bulb' moments I had was the feeling of connectivity in a society where people seem innately competitive. Where furtively checking out a women's outfit can be more common than giving a compliment, it was great to meet people in an environment where everyone was open about their dreams and desires. Any bad decisions, relationships or work environments were obstacles to be overcome, not secrets to hide away.
I came away energized, positive and inspired. It's easy to be 'too busy' or 'too broke' and I was happy to have spent time shutting off the background noise and thinking about what I really want. My goals include more writing, building a website, paying off my student loan and eventually owning my own home.
Since I'm a firm believer that to be inspired and positive you should surround yourself with positive and inspiring people, I'm going to embark on a series of interviews of inspiring women who have turned their passion into a day job.
Stay tuned to see how they did it!

The Register is publishing summaries of the 58 killers sentenced to death by Orange County judges, two per day during week days, from the oldest case to the newest. Here are Nos. 7 and 8.
Kenneth Clair was sentenced to death for the sexual assault, beating and strangulation of baby-sitter Linda Faye Rodgers, 25, in November 1984. Rodgers, who suffered from cerebral palsy, was watching her 6-year-old daughter and four other children in a Santa Ana home when she was surprised by an intruder. Rodgers was sexually assaulted, tied up and gagged, stabbed in the neck and back, strangled with clothing, and beaten on the head with a pipe. Clair's case has been affirmed by the California Supreme Court.
Rodney Beeler shot and killed Anthony Joseph Stevenson, a homeowner, during a botched burglary at Stevenson's home in Orange in December 1985. Stevenson returned home and interrupted Beeler as he was in the process of burglarizing his home. During a brief struggle, Stevenson was shot in the back. Beeler had three previous burglary convictions and a rape conviction before the Stevenson case. His case has been affirmed by the California Supreme Court.

My lacebark elm seems to be very sad this summer. I can't tell if it's all the rain or something else. Anyone have any idea? The tree has been here 2 years and has done very well. The problem seems to be on one side of the tree. Maybe it has two problems - something in addition to too much rain.... Help!

You've probably already thought of this, but does it look anything like dutch elm disease? I know that causes yellowing of leaves. Or maybe the amount of rain is bringing something into your soil from another area- any pesticides been used close by?
Maybe consider calling a certified arborist if it is an important tree to you. - July 30, 2007 at 9:09 AM
