A 6-step plan to determine your social media strategy
May 8th
I hope you enjoy this little slide show and if you like these ideas, you can get the full version of the six-step strategy in my new book, Social Media Explained: Untangling the World's Most Misunderstood Business Trend. If you are in charge of marketing strategy for your organization, this is an entirely new way to look at social media and its place in the marketing mix.
How to fix Google+
May 6th
Whether you think Google+ is dead, dying, or still on the rise, one thing is certain: something has to change. This post will tell you what and why.
Google+ was meant to take on Facebook. This is an economic imperative for a company built on: a) collecting personal information that can be turned into ads and b) finding ways to have you spend more time on their sites so you can see those ads.
Facebook was capturing a disproportionate share of our personal information and Google had to do something. Their aim was to build a better social network and expose all of Facebook's flaws. You could argue that it did that … so why is Google+ in turmoil? (And it is).
The reason Google+ has never gone mainstream is because the world does not want a better social network, It wants a COOLER social network and Google+ is not cool with the young people who could move it into the mainstream.
It's not about tech. It's about cool.
Facebook is vulnerable as Millenials move into other places like Snapchat, Twitter and Kik. Google is simply not on the radar screen of the folks who are going to determine the Next Big Thing. High school kids don't give a damn about better SEO results. They want to be cool.
Instead of building engineeringly-beautiful new features and integrating with other Google products (who trusts that any way?) Google should hire Bruno Mars or Katy Perry to be the Google+ spokesperson and launch a massive media campaign to attract the hearts and minds of taste-makers under the age of 19.
Marketing its products has always been a problem for Google and I think we're seeing this vulnerability in full view right now.
There are a lot of aspects to this discussion beyond the Google+ cool factor (or lack of it) and that is the fodder for the conversation between Tom Webster and I on the latest Marketing Companion podcast.
- Do we really need Google+?
- If the numbers on Google+ up, why the organizational disharmony?
- Is Google+ going to be another "fast fail" or a lasting part of the company's strategy?
All this and more will be revealed right now:

3 Twitter best practices that unlock business success
Apr 29th
Here is one of the most common business inquiries I receive: "I am about to launch a (business/book/seminar) and want to use Twitter to do it. Can you help me?"
My answer is usually "yes … I can help," but my advice is rather unsettling. Twitter probably won't work to help your business unless you follow three best practices first, and this is enough to stop most people in their tracks.
Although it is certainly possible to have a short-term business success on Twitter, it is not probable without months — or even years — of work first. Behind every case study there are three factors at work and these stepping stones are climbed only through a lot of preparation and effort.
Before we get into the details, I want to emphasize that there are many business benefits to Twitter that DON'T require a lot of preparation, You can use it for market research, education, and customer service, for example, without the steps I am about to explain. But if you want to generate leads and SELL something some day, pay attention to the advice below.
1. The network strategy
I have nearly 90,000 followers on Twitter and I go to great lengths to assure that they are real people, not spammers of inactive accounts.
If I sent out a tweet right now promoting my new book, how many people would actually buy it? Not very many. Why? Your Twitter audience is generally made up of "weak links." These are people who are aware of you but probably won't take a strong action like donate to a cause or buy something just because you ask.
Think of this like sales. You have to have a lot of contacts for any of them to turn into leads. You have to have a lot of leads before they turn into a sales call. You have to make a lot of sales calls before you find people who will actually buy from you.
Twitter is much the same way. If you have 2,000 followers, you are not going to sell 2,000 books, You might sell one!
You have to consistently and methodically build a relevant audience of "contacts" before you find those relatively few who will actually buy something. There are many ways to find these wonderful people including mining Twitter lists, Advanced Twitter Search, Twitter chats, and even through Twitter's advertising programs.
The single-best place to go for resources to build your network is Chapter 5 of the book The Tao of Twitter, which has more than 20 ideas. You need to continually find these relevant people, even if you only spend 20 minutes a day on this activity.
2. The content strategy
So the idea behind sales and Twitter is to turn these weak links into stronger links that will lead to real business opportunities. Now that you have built up a list of people who will have some disposition to be interested in you, you have to get on their radar screen and usually it is your CONTENT that leads to that awareness.
Content can come in many forms. Here are a few ideas about the types of content that can get people's attention:
Rich content — The most powerful content is original, "rich content" that provides depth and voice of authority. Generally speaking, rich content comes in the form of a blog, podcast or video series. It's hard work providing this content on a consistent basis but this is the type of value that makes you stand out and create a deeper connections with these weak relationships. Linking tweets to your original and helpful content can spur people to learn more about you.
Content from others — If you do a good job surrounding yourself with a relevant audience, they will also be sending you links to wonderful content through their tweets each day. Re-tweeting others takes the burden of finding content off your shoulders and also compliments others when you acknowledge their good work. Re-tweeting is a superb way to get on somebody's radar screen!
Contests and games — People love the opportunity to win prizes. Promoting a contest is a great way to create awareness, especially when combined with Twitter advertising.
Personal engagement — Show people your human side whenever possible, If you are tweeting as an individual, mention things going on in your life or tweet a photo now and then. If you are tweeting under a corporate account, think about adding initials to the end of every tweet so people can know there is a real person behind the content.
3. Consistent Engagement
Social media is SOCIAL. It's not very effective creating an audience without engaging with them or simply shipping content out there like an advertisement.
When I was starting out in business, I used to attend a lot of live, monthly networking meetings. It would take 4-5 months before people started to recognize me and get to know me. It might take six months before those connections led to a cup of coffee and a real business discussion.
In real life, we build meaningful relationships — strong links — through a series of engagements over a period of time, maybe even years. Networking on the web is the same way. It takes time, patience, and consistent engagement.
Look for opportunities to say hello to people online, to compliment them, to re-tweet something they provide that is exceptional. And always look for ways to actually MEET people in real life. That is the best way to convert those weak social media connections to strong relationships who can help you.
Managing expectations
I can't tell you how many people come to me thinking Twitter (or social media in general) is some miracle cure. It's not. It CAN work, but you need to have realistic expectations about HOW it works and what it takes to get there.
There is no quick or easy way to create business benefits through Twitter, but I can also tell that if you do the hard work, it's worth it. Twitter — combined with rich content, a relevant audience and consistent engagement — has helped many people build careers, find jobs, promote causes, discover new markets, hire valuable employees, and yes … even find new customers!
I hope this perspective helps and that you'll take a moment to share it across your networks as your own helpful content that connects with your relevant audience. After all, nothing says I love you like a re-tweet now and then!

The best marketing insight I've received in the past 5 years
Apr 15th
Over the past few years I have had the great fortune to meet and talk to some of the greatest marketing and business minds in the world. I have learned so much from them, but there is one single marketing insight from Dr. Robert Cialdini that continues to hang in my mind every single day.
Although we had this discussion in 2012, his advice seems to grow more profound to me month by month.
Dr. Cialdini is arguably the foremost academic and writer on the subject of power and influence in the world. His books include the best-selling classic Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion.
While doing research for my book Return On Influence, I asked him, "Dr. Cialdini, in this information-dense world, how does a leader stand out?"
His reply: "Be more human."
The more I have been immersed in this digital world, the more I am sure he is right.
Ultimately people will buy from who they know, who they trust. That isn't going to come from the best backlinks or the most optimized content. I think the most human content and the most human companies will win in this competitive world.
Connecting in a human way builds trust. Trust builds loyalty. And loyalty trumps everything.
As I work with diverse organizations ranging from Johnson & Johnson to the US Air Force, I keep hearing myself repeat those words over and over again. Be. More. Human.
- When you get down to it, isn't that what we cherish most of all?
- Is "being human" scalable across a large enterprise? How?
- Where is the line between being human and respecting privacy? Is this changing?
- Is "being human" a strategy? Should it be?
The idea raises a lot of questions. I am trying to discern what it means for me … for all of us in this community really.
Will the most human companies win? Will the most human blogs win? Will the most human humans win? I think so. I think that is really the killer app for an era of Content Shock.
Your thoughts?

GOSHEN — The 5 Spoke Creamery has been awarded nearly $50,000 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to boost marketing efforts of its artisan cheeses.
Sens. Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand said this week that the Value-Added Producer Grant of $49,893 aims to raise brand awareness and make farm operations more sustainable by increasing sales.
Value-added activities, like cheese-making at a dairy farm or jelly-making at an orchard, can be more profitable than simply selling the milk or fruit.
The 5 Spoke Creamery is the only dairy farm in Orange County that makes cheese, according to the Cornell Cooperative Extension.

BMI View : The announcement by Landis+Gyr to double its revenue through an ambitious acquisition plan highlights the strong growth prospects for the global smart meter and smart grid sectors. The majority of developed countries have already introduced some form of smart meter rollout programmes, with the EU alone poised to install some 200mn meters by 2020.
On May 27, Switzerland-based Landis+Gyr announced its intention to more than double its revenue to USD4bn by 2020 through a series of takeovers. The company is the largest maker of power meters for utilities, and is looking to acquire companies specialising in power metering and networks as it seeks to benefit from a global investment drive in smart meters. Landis+Gyr recorded revenues of USD1.5bn in 2013, and was acquired by Japan's Toshiba in 2011 for USD2.3bn (1.5 times of sales).
The announcement by Landis+Gyr highlights the strong growth prospects for the smart meter and grid sectors. Technological advances have greatly increased the functionalities of electricity meters, and smart meters offer a number of key advantages over conventional electromechanical meters. For consumers, smart meters are able to provide real-time consumption data and in some cases, electricity prices, which allow consumers to moderate and plan their consumption patterns. Meanwhile, smart meters help to reduce the operational costs for utilities as they eliminate the need for costly meter reading visits. These features are extremely valuable, and the majority of developed countries have already introduced some form of smart meter roll-out programmes. Some of the more noteworthy programmes include:

Not what I expected
- Review by Headie The designs are fantastic and concept is really cool, however, the mat itself is really thin (like paper lamination). For the money, I was expecting a thicker place mat than what was received.
aunt buying her 6th placemat
- Review by shannie I love love that its personalized with my nephew's names and different themes. No fighting at my sisters house. Everyone has their own and they loves it. Thanks I see me!
- Review by Loretta Belfiore Love them!!!! My "boys" will too.
Cute, but not the best quality
Review by Leah B
I was so excited when I ordered this place mat, but was disappointed when we received it. I also was very surprised to see how thin it was and honestly thought it was a mistake at first. We have been using it for about a month now and it does wipe off easily and is very cute, but it has a lot of scratches on it already from when I sometimes cut food on it. I wanted to order more for gifts, but think I will look for something a little more durable.
Editor's Note- Sorry to hear you are not satisfied with for purchase. A member of our customer service team will contact you about a replacement!

Review by Diane Pliner
My grandson loves his new Dino-mite placemat. Last yeat we got him the one with the vehicles. The pictures are bright and colorful. The one problem is that the coating isn't thick enough. Last year's mat was wiped off after meals with a wet paper towel. The coating wore off after about 9 months and the picture hasn't lasted. The mats are not inexpensive. They should last longer.
I See Me Editor's Note: Sorry to hear you are not satisfied with for purchase. Thank you for your feedback. We are always working to improve the quality of our products. A member of our customer service team will contact you about the vehicle placemat.
Review by Shawn B
Very cute placemat but was disappointed in the quality of it. It scratches easy. We've only had it a couple weeks and it has quite a bit of scratches and the corners are folded. For $12 Id this they'd be more durable! I think you should start laminating them so they will last longer.
I See Me Editor's Note: Thank you for your feedback. We are always working to improve the quality of our products.Sorry to hear you are not satisfied with for purchase. A member of our customer service team will contact you about a replacement!

- Review by Tracy S. I don't think there is anything more special than the smile on my kids' faces! It just makes me smile! And with the holidays quickly approaching, finding gifts that are as unique and special as them can be pretty hard. That's why I love I See Me. I have the perfect Coloring Books and Place mats for kids and they make them SMILE. Why? Because they are personalized just for them. They think it's wonderful that they have something this is just theirs.
Perfect for meal time!
- Review by Barb W. Easy to wipe clean with a simple swipe of a damp cloth, they are perfect for meal time or snack time. I also think they would make lovely wall hangings for a nursery or play room.
Very Cute
- Review by Deana L. Both my boys love these they are so cute and easy to wash.
- Review by Mo These placemats came out so cute--my niece and nephew loved them! :)
Thrilled in NY!
- Review by Gina C. My 2 year old daughter is very particular. I wasn't sure she would use this place mat. She loves it! And so do I. She even has a special spot for her hot chocolate, aka "coffee", on the turtle!
Review by Veronica
I really liked the design and personalized name but its a little cheap for the $12 I paid. By the second day it got stain with juice and the paint came off when I wiped it with just water. Not as sturdy as I would have thought.
I See Me Editor's Note: Thank you for your feedback. We are always working to improve the quality of our products. Make sure not to use an abrasive material when wiping off the placemat.
Great High Quality Place Mat
- Review by Jennifer The Easter Bunny brought this for my son and it turned out so cute! The colors are vibrant and the pictures are great. The construction is excellent - it seems to be one piece, not an image that has been laminated - which will hold up much better to washing. My little boy was thrilled!
Dino-mite placemat
- Review by MartieG Absolutely adorable! This is our grandson's 1st Birthday theme so it is perfect. Wished you would have more in the selection of dinosaurs.
Good, but not great.
- Review by Lindsay These are very cute - but not nearly the quality I was expecting. They aren't thick and aren't laminated. But, they work for the price point.

If an armada is looking for you, that's not good news — it's a fleet of warships.
Even though armada sounds a little old-fashioned, they still exist. In fact, some armadas look for pirates — another old-fashioned-sounding group that still exists. Though an armada is part of a navy, armada sounds similar to "army,", and it should: they both come ultimately from the same source, the Latin word armata, "armed." Armies and navies are two of the oldest branches of a military power, and an armada is a military fleet — another word for a group of boats or ships.
Definitions of armada
n a large fleet
- Examples:
Invincible Armada
the great fleet sent from Spain against England by Philip II in 1588
- Type of:
a group of warships organized as a tactical unit

I have been searching for a solution to a need that I had identified for myself – and I am happy to report that I have succeeded in filling that need.
What I needed was a handgun that I would leave in my vehicle. It would spend its entire life in my vehicle. It would not be a "carry piece" – or a "field piece" – it would be part of my vehicle – just as much as a spare tire or "tire iron" (LOL!).
Here is the need: I already have a "trunk/truck" longarm – and this handgun's role is NOT to replace the longarm. This handgun's role is to provide me with a means of defending myself and anyone that travels with me from threats that occur while I am seated in the vehicle. I carry my primary handgun (either a M&Pc or a full sized M&P) in an IWB holster. Most of the time – I am "tucked" while wearing the IWB – meaning I have my dress shirt tucked over the handgun/holster so it is concealed without wearing a jacket or coat. So – when I am seated in my vehicle with my seatbelt on – it is next to impossible for me to get to my CCW handgun. So picture this scenario – I am stopped at a light in the bad part of town – with a vehicles in front and back – and on the sides. I know we try not to get boxed in – but life happens and sometimes we do get boxed in. A half dozen bangers from the local gang come up to my vehicle. "Uuuhhh…..Mr. Homey – would you please let me get out of my vehicle – and pull my shirt up so I can get my handgun – then sit back in my in my vehicle – BEFORE you start your assault??"
It should abundantly clear now what mission my "in vehicle" handgun will fill.
With this in mind the tool in question would have to have the following characteristics:
1. Be RELIABLE
2. Be somewhat durable – it would not see "hard use" – but it would see temperatures in the mid-hundreds (think hot 100 plus temps summer day parked in a black asphalt parking lot – so the interior could reach 140 or so) to below freezing (it gets down to single digits quite regularly in my AO in the winter). So it must be able to handle extreme temperatures and still function without breaking.
3. It MUST have an external safety. Since this won't be on my body – I don't want this to be a "grab and pull trigger" firearm – I want it to have an external safety. Last thing I want happening in a vehicle roll over or accident is a possibility of an AD.
4. It must be pretty much weather proof – I don't want to worry about rust, corrosion, etc.
5. It must be INEXPENSIVE. If my vehicle gets broken into – I don't want to lose a $3,000 Larry Vickers custom 1911 (not that I have one) – I want to lose a handgun that is not very expensive to replace.
6. Must be in 9mm NATO or .40 S&W – anything smaller and the rounds won't penetrate a vehicle very well – and .45 ACP handguns don't carry enough rounds for my tastes. If I need my handgun from my vehicle – odds are I will need more than 7 or 8 rounds – I want enough "on tap" to solve the problem.
When I first sat down and compiled my list – I made the following observation:
NONE of my current crop of handguns will work. They all lost out on at least one or two categories – and sometimes three. My Glocks/M&Ps lack an external safety – and they are not what I consider "inexpensive". I put the "threshold" for inexpensive to be less than $300 – and they are both above that – even used.
My 1911 has an external safety – but it only holds 7+1 rounds (my experience with 8 round magazines is less than stellar) – and it way more than $300 too. My BHP holds 12 +1 – but it is worth more than $300 too.
So – I compiled a list of handguns – that when purchased used – would be less than $300 and still meet the rest of the criteria. The following handguns are all RELIABLE handguns that meet the "LIST". Those handguns are:
1. Used S&W 5906 (stainless steel).
2. Used Ruger P89 and P95 handguns with stainless slides.
3. Used Taurus 24/7 handgun with stainless slide.
There are probably others – but those are the one's I knew would work for my needs.
So I started "hunting" for one of the above handguns – and some were close to the $300 mark – but none were under – UNTIL I found a Taurus 24/7 in 9mm with stainless steel slide and barrel in the local classified section of an on-line newspaper. The guy originally had the handgun listed at $350 – but two weeks later he dropped the price to $300. In the add it mentioned that this handgun had only seen less than 100 rounds. I totally discount the round counts of used firearms and wait until I inspect it. If the bore is in good shape I don't really care if a modern design has seen 1,000 or more rounds. I contacted him and offered him $270 – and he accepted.
So we met and I looked down the bore and it found it to be in excellent shape and then handed him the money. I brought it home and detail inspected it. It was BONE DRY. Not a hint of any lubrication at all. I function check all my fighting guns to see if they will function when dry – some will (Glocks and M&Ps) – and some wont (1911 and AR's). I just wanted to know if this design could. Well - it can't. Numerous failures in the only magazine I tried dry. I had pre-thought out what I would do in the event the handgun I chose wouldn't function dry. I knew that oils would evaporate in high temperatures – and the gun would essentially be dry – so I chose to use some "Brownells Action Lube Plus" – which is a high tech grease that is very slippery. It won't evaporate – and it will stay put (won't run out like oil does if the firearm is stored vertically). If you get a little 2 oz. tub of this it will last your whole family a few generations worth of lubing things. A tiny little bit will go a LONG way.
Once properly lubed – the 24/7 runs like the proverbial top. I ran 500 rounds through it just to make sure – then ran 1 magazine of my carry load (Winchester Ranger T RATA 127 grain +P+) through it to make sure there were no issues with it and there wasn't.
Now the "hows" - in the state in which I live - with a CCW I can have the firearm "off body" - loaded and ready to rock within arms reach in my vehicle and still be "OK". So I will keep this gun in the between seat console.
However - if I didn't have a console - I would attach a holster to the vehicle under the stearing column or that area kind of under the dash but still accessable.
I am also going to invest in a vehicle safe like this one here: http://www.center-of-mass.com/index.htm
There are other products like this - I haven't exactly decided which one I will end up with.
So depending upon the circumstances I would lock up the handgun in the onboard safe - but it would most likely reside in the center console.
Okay – now on the firearm review. I am impressed with the 24/7. It seems like a very well built firearm. The location of the thumb safety is exactly where it should be – UNLIKE the two other contenders (S&W 5906 and Ruger P series). The thumb safety has a very positive "on" and "off" position. Magazine release is a push button and positioned just behind the left side trigger guard – like on my M&P, Glocks, 1911, BHP et al.
Sights are Richard Heine designed – and are quite good. Trigger pull……well – it is….different. The 24/7 design is a striker fired true DA/SA affair. It has a "double strike" capability. All shots are fired from the SA – unless one experiences a failure to fire – then one has the option of pulling the trigger again to try and touch off the round. My Glocks, M&Ps, 1911s, BHPs, ARs and AKs all lack this feature. So – my SOP is when I have a FTF – I quickly eject the round and try a new one. My rounds never get a second chance – they either work the first time – or they get ejected. So I will never use the double action feature of the 24/7. The bad news is there is a LONG take up (pre-travel) before one gets to the SA portion of the trigger pull. Once there – the SA pull is VERY nice – better than my Glocks or M&Ps – but the long take up (pre-travel) does negate the wonderful SA pull somewhat.
The quality of the 24/7 is "good enough" – not in the same class as my other fighting handguns – but it cost me a lot less money too – and as I said – it is "good enough".
The magazines are SIG 226 clones (they are interchangeable) so they work as advertised too.
The grip shape is pretty good – not as good as my M&P's – but better than Glocks. Grip circumference is greater than M&P or Glocks.
Bottom line – I consider the Taurus 24/7 line to be a "best buy" in the handgun market. No – it won't replace my M&Ps as it is superior in ergo's to the Taurus – but for my stated need as a vehicle gun – it fills it perfectly.
Also – if I didn't have the dough to drop on a M&P or Glock – the 24/7 will do very nicely as someone's "go to" handgun.
Just keep some Brownells Action Lube Plus on it and it will run forever.
Here is the obligatory photo.

The Louisville Grawemeyer Award honors highly significant contributions to religious and spiritual understanding. By "religion" we mean, to paraphrase a classic definition by William James, the feelings, acts and experiences of humans insofar as they apprehend themselves to stand in relation to whatever they consider the divine. The purpose of the Award is to honor and publicize annually creative and constructive insights into the relationship between human beings and the divine, and ways in which this relationship may inspire or empower human beings to attain wholeness, integrity or meaning, either individually or in community.
This award is granted by both the Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary and the University of Louisville to those who have presented ideas with the potential to bring about change in the world through religion.
Prize Amount
The Grawemeyer Award in Religion is accompanied by a prize of $100,000, which is presented in full during the awards ceremony.
Any work (book, address, essay, etc.) presented or published in 2010 or subsequently will be eligible for consideration for the 2017 Award. Nominations are invited from religious organizations, appropriate academic associations, religious leaders and scholars, presidents of universities or schools of religion, publishers and editors of scholarly journals. Self-nominations will not be accepted or considered. There will be no discrimination based on religious affiliation or belief or lack thereof. The Award Committee encourages submissions from a wide variety of intellectual and/or religious perspectives. Previous winners are not eligible for subsequent awards.
Charles Grawemeyer was an active Presbyterian and a man who took the study of religious ideas seriously. In fact, he took university religion courses during his retirement, making his inclusion of an award for religion only natural.
Dr. John Mulder, former president of the Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, recounted the day in 1984 when Grawemeyer invited him to lunch, and simply said: "John, you know the music award won't be the only one. I'd like to create a prize in education, world order and religion. I want the seminary to be part of the religion award."
The Grawemeyer Foundation, the University of Louisville and the Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary promptly began to shape the prize. Natural hurdles arose, and many questions surfaced. "What is an award in religion about?" "Is it simply Christian faith, or does it include other traditions from peoples around the world?" Even more contentious: "Should the work be more 'popular' and less 'academic'?" "Should it be inspirational or should it promote questioning or honor revisionary proposals?"
These and other issues were resolved and guidelines were set, including a provision that the selection committee would include at least one person of non-Christian faith and someone from outside North America or with extensive experience outside North America.
The first award was presented in 1990 to E.P. Sanders for his provocative book, Jesus and Judaism, a painstaking look at Jesus' relationship with his Jewish contemporaries.
The Nomination Process
Criteria For Judging Nominations
The Award competition, which is open to persons of all religious traditions and world views, will consider a wide variety of concerns and issues. Such issues may include but are not limited to:
- The experience of divine or ultimate reality,
- Meaning and purpose of human existence,
- Authority and freedom in religious understanding,
- Pluralism and religious truth,
- Evil, suffering, and death,
- Compassion, joy and hope,
- Religion and science,
- Divine involvement in human history,
- Practices of faith and spirituality.
Preference will be given to ideas:
- which by their clarity and power assist people better to understand the relationship between divine reality and human spiritual striving;
- which lead to a recognition and understanding of religious experience;
- which foster greater understanding and cooperation among adherents of diverse religious traditions and views;
- which stimulate new insights into the relationship between religious awareness and other forms of human knowledge;
- which reflect significant breakthroughs in our understanding of divine-human relationships, particularly in the context of the postmodern world.
Nomination Process
Each person or group nominating an idea for consideration must submit one (1) copy of each of the following in typed or printed form:
- A completed nomination form.
- The work as published or printed (in the case of a speech, the written text or transcript) including all standard bibliographic and copyright citations. Publishers submitting nominations are requested to supply the required total of six (6) copies of the work.
- In the case of submissions in a language other than English, a substantial abstract in English should also be included.
- A supporting statement of between 500-750 words in English setting out the central idea of the work and specifically relating the idea to the criteria for the award.
Nominations must be received by December 1. All submissions become the property of the Louisville Grawemeyer Award Committee. In the event that no idea is considered adequately meritorious in a given year, no award will be made.
The Review Process
A faculty review committee appointed by the presidents of the University of Louisville and Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary will consider all nominations and advance a select number for further consideration. Three judges of international reputation chosen by the university and the seminary will select three finalists. Recommendation of a winner from among the finalists will be made by the Louisville Grawemeyer Committee to the Boards of the seminary and the university for final action.
Awardee Requirements
The winner of the Award will be announced after December 1st. The winner will be expected to come to Louisville during the following spring to make a formal presentation based on the winning idea and to receive the Award. The trip to Louisville is mandatory and failure to fulfill this requirement will result in forfeiture of the Award and the associated cash prize.
Nominee agrees and accepts that, consistent with the intent of H. Charles Grawemeyer, the Award will not be given posthumously. The Nominee must be living in order to receive the Award and must participate in the Award festivities referenced above in order to receive the Award and the associated cash prize. If the nominated Work was created by multiple persons, one or more of whom is deceased, only the living nominees are eligible to receive the Award and the associated cash prize.
The payment will cease upon the death of the recipient. Winning the Award does not create any property rights in the cash prize for the recipient's heirs or estate. In the event that the Award is given to multiple recipients (such as co-authors), there is only one cash prize associated with the Award and said cash prize will be divided evenly amongst the recipients. If a co-recipient dies before payment of said cash prize is made, the remaining amount will be divided evenly between the still-living co-recipients
Nominee shall participate, as appropriate, and cooperate in the production of any documentary film or other public relations or publicity matters related to the Competition, including the execution of any necessary releases and/or authorizations.
Nominee hereby grants permanent permission for the University of Louisville and the Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary Board of Trustees to use the title and excerpts from the Work and any media depicting their receipt and acceptance of the Award for library and archival purposes, and for the purpose of promoting the Grawemeyer Awards and their affiliation with the University of Louisville and the Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary. The term "media" is understood to include, but not be limited to, audio and visual images and/or recordings of any format which depict the Recipient's visit to the campuses of the University of Louisville and the Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, the Awards presentation itself and any comments made by the Recipient as part of the campus visits and the Awards festivities.
All physical materials submitted become the property of the University of Louisville and Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary.

2016 Recipient
Susan R. Holman
Both faith-based and human rights organizations work to address global health issues, but divergent ideological approaches can create discord and ultimately undermine the efforts of both groups. This idea, examined in the book, "Beholden: Religion, Global Health, and Human Rights," has earned its author the 2016 University of Louisville and Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary Grawemeyer Award in Religion.
Susan R. Holman explores how healthcare efforts based on a human rights approach can overlook the important role religions play in communities; and how faith-based initiatives are often more focused on the benefactor than on the recipient of care. She highlights how a combined approach, incorporating religious views and traditions with dialogue about economic and social rights, can be useful in combating global health problems.

A method to protect the hips during falls could effectively reduce the incidence of hip fractures. We report the results of the first hip protector trial in Japan, performed between July 1996, and September 1999. One hundred and sixty-four elderly female residents of nursing homes, with Activities of Daily Living above the wheelchair level, agreed to participate in this study. Among them, 88 were randomly selected to wear a hip protector and 76 controls did not. All falls and resulting injuries were recorded daily. In anthropometric measurements and ultrasonic bone evaluation, no significant differences were found between the two groups, except in height. During an average of 377 days, the wearers and the non-wearers fell a total of 131 and 90 times, respectively. Among the wearers, there were two non-hip fractures and one hip fracture, so the annual hip fracture rate was calculated at 1.2%, against 8 hip fractures among the non-wearers, or 9.7% per year. The hip fracture rate was significantly lower among the wearers than non-wearers, while the annual number of falls per subject and the distribution of fallers remained the same. According to Cox's proportional hazard regression analysis, the effect of the hip protector on hip fracture prevention was independent of anthropometric data, ultrasonic bone assessment values or number of falls. Moreover, even after limiting the subjects to fallers only, the annual hip fracture rate in non-wearers was higher than in wearers (19.8% vs 2.0%) and the annual hip fracture rate per fall in wearers was lower than that in non-wearers (0.8% vs 8.2%). It was thus concluded that the hip protector is a beneficial device for the prevention of hip fractures.

The Gay Moralist: Luxury vs. Charity
by John Corvino
Originally printed 7/9/2009 (Issue 1728 - Between The Lines News)
Some years ago I attended a seminar on charitable giving in the GLBT community. The event was aimed toward affluent donors, and judging by the cars in the parking lot, it hit its target. (I drove an old Nissan at the time, and was invited strictly because of my connection with one of the charities.)
One of the speakers exhorted the crowd to forgo certain luxuries in order to make a greater charitable impact. "An inexpensive car will get you from point A to point B just as well as a BMW will," she said, "and with the savings you can make a real difference in another person's life." Most attendees were nodding politely, when a mouthy acquaintance of mine stood up.
"Look," he began, "most of us had a really hard time growing up gay. We were taunted by our peers, and many of us felt alone and miserable. So now we're enjoying some creature comforts. I worked hard to get where I am, and I'm not about to start driving a Chevy."
I was sitting next to said mouthy acquaintance, and I sank in my chair. True, few people expected the attendees to follow the speaker's suggestion. But it seemed obnoxious to point that out at the time.
But why? Is it selfish to want luxuries while others are in need, or merely unseemly to say so?
Luxury is a relative term, of course. If you have a car with crank windows, then power windows - which are standard equipment on most cars sold in the U.S. - may seem like a luxury. If you have to take the bus to work, having a car at all may seem like a luxury. If you live in a developing nation, buses may seem like a luxury. And so on.
Conversely, as we grow more accustomed to certain "luxuries," they start to feel like necessities. My first car had vinyl seats - but hey, I had a car! The next one had plush fabric seats, which I thought were cool. Then I graduated to leather seats, which I thought were even cooler. Today I have HEATED leather seats, and I doubt I'm ever going back.
"But you need heated seats in Detroit," my mother told me when I fretted over whether they were an extravagance. Funny, but I spent nine years here without them and managed to get around all the same.
I don't think gays are any more prone to these tendencies than anyone else. To the extent that we fit this stereotype, it is largely because most of us don't have children, which means that, on average, (a) we have more "disposable" income than those who do and (b) we can worry more about whether the sofa looks good, for example, than whether it will resist jam stains.
Of course, the fact that we can spend our money on things like fancy cars and fabulous sofas doesn't mean that we should. Given the current desperate situation of many charitable organizations, the moral implications of luxury are worth pondering.
I'll use myself as an example, just to show that I'm not trying to wag my finger at anyone else.
My partner and I recently put a new kitchen in our house. We do a lot of entertaining - including fundraising events - and most of our friends thought it was an excellent investment. I do, too. I love it every day.
But meals from the old kitchen were just as nutritious and tasty.
And the old kitchen was, despite being ugly, cheap, and poorly installed, only eight years old. (It was put in by the prior owner, who "flipped" the house. It is now installed in the basement, where we use it as a backup kitchen for parties.)
And the thousands of dollars we spent on the new one could have helped people who lack not merely kitchens, but food itself.
So if I'm going to bristle at my mouthy acquaintance's "I'm not going to drive a Chevy" comment, I had better be able to explain why I'm no longer cooking in a cheap - but perfectly serviceable - kitchen.
Ultimately, it's because I don't believe that moral values always trump aesthetic ones. A moral calculus would be undesirable and unsustainable if it condemned any action that could be replaced by one more virtuous.
Consider the alternative: Any money you spend on an ice cream cone could go to Oxfam - so no more ice cream cones. Ditto for art, music and dance, the absence of which is tragic but not life-threatening. That money you plan to spend on movie tickets could save a life someday.
It's not just money at stake, but time. Every minute you spend watching TV, playing games, reading novels - or for that matter, reading this column - could be spent volunteering at the local soup kitchen.
And what about sex? Gays are hardly the only ones to engage in non-procreative sex, an activity for which we - though generally not others - get labeled as "indulgent." But sexual intimacy, like many of these other things, is surely an ingredient of a well-lived life.
I don't pretend to know how to strike the perfect balance - if there is one. (If you want someone that has all the answers, don't read my column. Try Dr. Laura.)
I do know that most of us - me included - could and should give more to charity, and the arts, and other important causes. I admire those who live simply for the sake of helping others. But - I freely admit - I also admire nice cars, clothes and kitchens.John Corvino, Ph.D. is an author, speaker, and philosophy professor at Wayne State University in Detroit.

PUBLISHED Mon Jul 12 11:04:00 EDT 2010 0 1 / 9 Japan's "Hot Tub Monkeys" A family of Japanese macaques lives the good life in the hot springs of Japan's Jigokudani Yaenkoen Park, where the protected primates enjoy warm waters as much as any human bather could.This image captured first place in the Wildlife category of the International Conservation Photography Awards (ICPA), a global showcase of images that inspire people to care about conservation of the environment."The photo is such a beautiful shot of a macaque family interacting with one another," said ICPA judge Cynthia Hall, an environmental graphic designer with Girvin in Seattle, WA. "The father's head thrown back in ecstasy, the child touching with a little hand, the look on the mother's face—emotionally you can't help but love the moment that's going on."Winning images are exhibited through September 6, 2010 at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture on the University of Washington campus. Photograph by Oksana Perkins, courtesy International Conservation Photography Awards (ICPA) Guwahati Dump Endangered greater adjutant storks, (<i>Leptoptilos dubius</i>), are common at the garbage dump in Guwahati, India. But the birds must wait their turn behind people who also glean their living from the garbage of others in the state of Assam."You can see the movement of these people in the foreground as the storks are sitting on top of the heap waiting their turn to get in there and get something," Hall said."It's a moment where humans are dominating and these birds are just patiently waiting. This fantastic image, top-notch from color to composition, earned first prize in ICPA's Community at Risk category.(See also: In India, Nets Save Baby Storks From Falls) Photograph by Sandesh Kadur, courtesy ICPA Sunbeams in the Pines Ethan Welty rose with the sun to ascend Mount Baring, and captured its early morning rays as they fell through the fog and mists of Washington's Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. The shot earned Welty top honors in the Student category of the ICP Awards."The effect lasted only a few seconds," he wrote. "Luckily, I precariously dangle my camera from my neck on such mountain forays." Photography by Ethan Welty, courtesy ICPA Seal on a Propeller The abandoned whaling station in Stromness Bay, Antarctica, hosted the legendary Ernest Shackleton at the end of his epic do-or-die trek. It proved less hospitable to countless whales that were hunted from the site—in some cases to the brink of extinction.Only a male fur seal remained to greet visiting photographer Susanne Weissenberger, who won the Environment at Risk category with this image. His perch amidst the restricted ruins prompted Weissenberger to wonder "Can he read?" Photograph by Susanne Weissenberger, courtesy ICPA Death Valley Badlands Evening light casts a benign glow on the rough landscape of Death Valley, one of the Earth's hottest, driest, lowest, and most inhospitable locations. Record highs have reached 134°F (57°C) and the area receives less than 2 inches (5 centimeters) of rainfall per year.A passing sandstorm helped set this scene for photographer Trixi Huish, whose image won first place in the Landscape category. Her Zabriskie Point perch also showcases another natural wonder—the power of erosion. Eons of weathering have created a mazelike pattern of badlands that captures the eye. Photograph by Trixi Huish, courtesy ICPA Translucent Sea Nettle The translucent glow of a sea nettle off San Carlos Beach in Monterey, California, helped Jim Patterson take top honors in ICPA's Underwater category.This jelly may be beautiful but it can pack a punch. The animal's venomous tentacles are capable of dealing humans a painful sting, and groups of floating nettles sometimes plague swimmers. The jellies use their sting to paralyze the tiny drifting animals that they hunt and devour. Photograph by Jim Patterson, courtesy ICPA Grasses Cling to Life Southwest Africa's Namib Desert is one of the world's largest and oldest—it has existed for some 55 million years. The desert is home to massive sand dunes that can tower to nearly 1,000 feet (300 meters) and move with prevailing winds like those whipping clumps of Astenatherum grass in a struggle for life.Yet in this harsh world some 3,500 plant species do survive, and about half of them are found nowhere else on the planet. Photograph by Philippe Moës, courtesty ICPA Lake Washington Bridge The Seattle-based ICP Awards include a Puget Sound at Risk category so that local photographers can speak to the ecology of their own neighborhood.In this image, untreated rainwater runoff pours into Lake Washington beneath a bridge, carrying pollutants from auto traffic that contaminate prime salmon habitat.Hall said her fellow judges felt the first-place picture really helped to bring the problem home. "You almost feel like you're going to have to take a shower in this awful water," she said. Photograph by Tom Reese, courtesy ICPA Hunting Sailfish A school of sailfish (Istiophorus albicans) gorges on sardines some 10 miles (16 kilometers) off Isla Mujeres on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. These fastest fish in the sea have been clocked at speeds of more than 68 miles (110 kilometers) per hour. They use their speed, and even their large sails, to herd small fish and—as photographer Stuart Westmorland captured—stab them with their spears.This image claimed the Art Wolfe award, named for ICPA's founder, but Westmorland explained that it also captured an ephemeral moment in time."The sardine was stuck on the sailfish bill and then with lightning speed, it was shaken off and consumed," he wrote.All prizewinning images can be seen in slideshows at the ICP Awards website.

Comments about Echo Jaipur Shower Curtain:
I'm not sure what the other folks are talking about but this is the most beautiful shower curtain I've seen in a very long time or may ever-the fabric is awesome and the colors are vibrant-Maybe they were not looking for vibrant. If you don't want vibrant - than take a pass. I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER-I paired it with red and white throw rugs and that was the icing on the cake-oh yeah-i have the bedding set as well.

Not my favorite
By Not a Bedsheet Kinda Gal
from Paducah, KY
I bought this for our master bath. I thought it was a beautiful print, love these colors. I did not realize how long it would be. My bathroom is way too small for something this long. It looked silly to me hanging so high and I did not like it draping on the floor. I then began thinking it looked like I had just hung a bed sheet because it is the same material. It does feel nice just not what I was looking for in a shower curtain.

Fujifilm FinePix M603 review
I bought one on ebay (no longer in stores in USA) for my daughters wedding.
As father of the bride, I have unusual opportunities to take movies and stills not covered by the hired pro.
I needed a small still/movie camera good for 45 minutes of VGA movie and 150 stills. Together with a 2GB Sandisk Ultra 2 CF card, I achieved my goals.
I previously owned a F601Z so I am familiar with the Fuji.
I was unhappy with the build quality of the F601z which froze often and was charged a hefty amount for repairs that took over 12 weeks for fpr a freeze up problem common to many earky F601s.
I thought I would never buy another fuji from that bad experience but I did. To date, the M603 has no peer in terms of still/movie ability and pocket size.
